Still amazed that people on TAE are posting links to googleusercontent.com. I thought we all knew that supporting the borg was not in our own interests, but maybe laziness is the overriding consideration.
So RIM posted a video of a nurse shark or seven gill shark in an aquarium? On TWITTER.
I put up a gif of C. carcharius having a taste of a sea urchin diver. Real stuff. Guy making a living, almost was on the sharks menu. Making a living in the real world can be dangerous..
Had no idea I was supporting a borg. Had absolutely no idea I was being lazy. Sorry I triggered you. Hope your safe space was nearby.
My apologies.

I took the doctors (you!) orders early on. 10,000 units then 5,000 units daily. Plus Zinc. Thank you for that!

How many people died from getting Covid because they were told they would die from getting Covid?

@Dr. D
The Middle Class Is Dying! 50% of All American Workers Made Less than $3,133 a Month Last Year”
As the discussion on minimum wage and inflation. So…how did these 70M people live if they only made $3k? The underground economy is not that big.
Fog a mirror and get a credit card with a $12,000 limit? Max it out? Get another one? All at 28% interest?
The fuse is lit.

I walked the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zurmat in Switzerland this summer.Why?
They also cannot buy US-produced LNG due to the Jones Act, which bans the movement of ships between US ports.
Of course they can use these ships. The Act disallows foreign bottoms from US port to Us port travel. That is why foreign flagged ships stop in Mexico for a day between passengers getting on the ship in California, and off the ship in Hawaii.
I call BS on this.
And absolutely agree the Act was a gift to MMP and MEBA unions.
@DoctorD
If people get that desperate, you have theft problem with your DOORKNOBS.
More than that. After “You’ll own nothing and be happy” comes “You will own what you can keep.” All those second, third and fourth homes that elites now own will become a squatter’s paradise. The elite will be standing outside their beautiful homes with only the doorknob to there names.
Goggle “Switchblade 300” or “Switchblade 600”
Same stuff, USA made.

I’ve got a malware thing that is associated with an ad on the right sidebar “play now” (which has more trees?) that has an X on it. If I’m fast enough to cancel the X the malware (a verification scam) is over- ridden.
Only on TAE. Only on Safari (not happening on Brave.)
Anyone else?RIM is directly over the target. Expect more of this.
In Russian, the root of Surovikin means: raw
A good name for your head commander
Yes, but more importantly, what are his pronouns?
A good indication on how well the spat in Ukraine is progressing will be when the Offshore Sportsbooks add Putin to the 2024 Presidential betting market. Even with or slightly ahead of Trump.
Still no images of the damage done to Nord1 and Nord2 pipelines?
Nord1 cost 10 times more to build than the Twin Towers, yet crickets?
Are they worried about unexploded ordnance? Why not send down an ROV?
Does Germany even care? Just seems weird.
Can somebody point me to a link showing images of the damaged sections of Nord 1 and 2?
Surely enough time has past for the silt to have settled enough for pictures of the damage?
Nobody taking credit for the pipeline damage? Just pointing fingers at other countries? Here is a book to read:
Blind Man’s Bluff by Sontag and Drew. The submarine Seawolf was in play back then, during Reagan’s presidency.
They lie every time.
They lie to you to manipulate you.
They manipulate you to humiliate you.
They humiliate you to hurt you.
Hurt you personally? Good.
Hurt you, your family and friends? Better
Hurt you, your family, friends and your country? Best!
They are not elite. They are not the Swamp. They are not leaders. They are not the Cabal. They are right in front of you. On TV. The internet. They are people in control, who suffer from Severe Mental Illness.
They only want to hurt you. Every single time. Just like the little toy you wound up and sent across the floor when you were a kid. That is what the toy does. Every single time. It does just the one thing. Same with these people suffering from SMI. They hurt you. Every. Single. Time. It is what they do. It is the only thing they do.
Their actions are irrational to most of us. Because we are rational. We are not Severely Mentally Ill. We try to explain their irrational behavior-rationally.
It cannot be explained rationally. They want to hurt you every single time.Best of the best kind of hurt? Kill you.
500,000 civilians killed, mostly women and children, during the Gulf War.
Secretary Albright when asked about it, responded that it was “Acceptable.”A sitting President of a country assassinated, and his country plunged into civil war and anarchy? Secretary Clinton when asked about it, stated, “We came, we saw, he died.”
Doctor Fauci: “Ladies! Hold my beer!”
They want to hurt you. Every single time.
The Powers That Be have openly declared that they have the power to take away ALL of the power of the people who constitute their respective countries. In response to that proclamation the people of those respective countries have replied, “WHAT power are you thinking about in particular? The only power that you have as the government is the directed power of us, the people of the country. That’s all the power that there is. There isn’t any other source of material power, so if WE the people do NOT have the power to live, or eat, or stay warm, or make and sell things, then where is all your ‘Official’ governmental ‘Power’ going to come from, exactly?”

What is being touted as potential sabotage on the Russian Nord Stream gas pipelines might have dealt them irreparable damage, Germany’s Tagesspiegel reported on Wednesday, citing “government circles.”
Barn burners.
The metric system was invented by two habitually drunk Frenchmen. They were angry about being sold bottles of wine that didn’t hold enough of their favorite drink. So they decided that the bottle had to hold their new amount of wine, 1 liter. Then they decided that the contents should weigh 1 kilogram. And to be double sure, the two drunks decided that that their wine should take up the volume of 1000 cubic centimeters. The kilometer? That’s how far it took for them to walk off their drunkenness after consuming a liter of their wine. Metric system my *ss.
The image is not of the Big Boy Air Force. Looks like 1st Degree Cadets at the Academy. Perhaps graduation.
“ 400 million euros for a cubic meter of gas? Seems spendy. Is my math wrong?”
Yes, but only by a factor of one million. Still, 400 euros seems spendy for a cubic meter of gas?
“ Serbia purchases 2 million cubic meters of gas – or between 63% and 64% of all gas it needs – from Russia and its total cost amounts to €800 million ($797 million), Vucic said, calling such a price “fantastic.”
400 million euros for a cubic meter of gas? Seems spendy. Is my math wrong?
@v.arnold
Now now, sir. I happen to enjoy reading both (3?) Doctors comments! Long or short, Fiskie, or just brief comments on todays artwork, this is a nice place to spend a few minutes each day.Dr. D makes good points, and seems to see what Crazy Uncle Ted put forth (also a Dr.-at 26 years of age, I believe) some years ago. The system needs only individuals- not families or groups of like minded people. The only way that works for the system is if the individual needs the system. Do away with regular religion, do away with family and family values. Isolate people. Lock them down. Give them all smart phones so they now longer communicate with others in a face to face setting and bingo. Individuals only.
Enjoy what remains of this weekend!
“ More giveaways to those who already have much”
You don’t think the US Tax Code was written for little people, do you?
The headlines read, “Top Earners in US to be taxed at 40%.” People read headlines. People don’t read the US Tax Code. Top earners want to avoid that 40% tax rate. So they hire accountants and attorneys and maybe pay less tax per year than you do?
@Dr D. “ $717/mo = $8,600/year. Average income is $35k.” Is this correct? Not that long ago I read that half(?) the average households in US could not come up with $400 cash in the event of an emergency? So where is this extra $717 coming from? Credit cards and balance transfers to other credit cards? How is this any kind of a long term solution?
“ eFiled personal 2021 taxes: Feb 15 2022 (without data from my corporate taxes — I knew the data would not affect the amount of my refund, and I had done this 4 or 5 times in the past with no problem, amending the return later once the data was available.)”
I don’t understand this? Why are you over withholding? You need only send in your quarterlies so that they equal last years tax liability to be technically protected.
“ They all have the same sunny careless feel about them.”. Raul, please consider William Merit chase, “End of the season”?
Perhaps at the end of the month? Powerful melancholy. Beach theme. Wonderful like Hopper.“ This is my last post and visit here at TAE. The reason is a failure of this blog to recognize the threat of fascism within the leadership of the trucker protests and within the police response. I accept the threat represented by vaccines but the threat of fascism dwarfs this threat.”
@sumac.carol. You don’t know many truckers, do you? Fascist? No. Independent? Yes.
Progressive policies.
Progressive programs.
Progressive states.
Progressive nations.All have the same endpoint. Communism.
@sumac.carol. “ Still looking for something better than the truckers.”
You? Your friends?
Go for it!
“ A coalition of local labour unions, community organizations and residents will be holding a rally this Saturday in solidarity with frontline workers and Ottawa residents affected by the occupation.”
@sumac.carole. Truckers aren’t frontline workers? Glad you cleared that up for us.
So truckers get arrested for felony parking. They get fined a 100,000 canadian. They lose their CDL and can’t drive a truck to make a living to pay the fine. Who’s on first?
Many (most?) insurance companies won’t insure truck drivers with less than 2 years experience.
Who drives the trucks?
Ontario just declared a State of Emergency. $100,000 fines and jail time.
Most of the Canadians I have run into have been honkers.
Seems like the Premier and his ilk don’t like to be the ones getting goosed.
Color me blackfaced.
“Slash the tires, empty gas tanks, arrest the drivers, and move the trucks”
That will stop the protest AND eliminate the supply chain crisis.
No. Wait……
Diesel should hit plus 5 dollars a gallon this summer. US govt. plan is to suspend the 18 cent federal tax on fuel. That, together with the 16 cent savings on hot dogs this 4th of July should keep America afloat.
