I used to go to what was certainly a "nuisance bar" in the town where I grew up. It wa shut down and cited for "people urinating outside the building" after closing time. The small-town newspaper story quoted a couple locals talking about seeing the undesirable behavior.
My mom knew I frequented the place, she read the article and she asked me if it was true. I said "Mom, if somebody was taking a leak in the street in front of your house at 2:45 am, how would you know?" "I guess if I was up, watching for it..." she said.

I think he meant Brazil the country. Extreme corruption, rampant crime, violence, gross inequality savagery. Political instability and economic decline. Half the population destitute and 2-3% of the population controlling most of the wealth.
Oligarchy.
No place for a normal middle class family.
Have a nice day -- and here's a flyer for your perusal

Although she's a Democrat, this is Representative Lurie of Virginia taking CNO Gilday apart like a cheap suit on the Navy's promised weapons systems. Lurie is a former Navy officer, and really has her act together in this 5-minute clip. H/T and further discussion by the professionals at the cdrsalamander blog. We got big problems.

If you take the time to watch any of the enthusiast live streams before a BO or SpaceX Boca Chica event, you will note the people in the comment stream are 1000% enthusiastic, 0% informed. The BO flight will be sub-orbital, therefore there will be no re-entry in the technical sense. Also, as it never reaches orbit, Jeffy is in no real danger of doing a Major Tom. A really hard landing might be fun to watch...

rankings above are by absolute number not population weighted
btw, Brazil as well as a few other countries in SAmerica, is known to have vaccinated a lot of its people with the Chinese vaccine which is almost certainly less effective than the Russian vaccines

I agree with the sentence for child rapists and child murderers. Except I would have had them hung. Slowly.
[PJMEDIA] Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity.... and Vladimir Putin ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... appeared tense and uncomfortable in their first of two bilateral meetings today as the two leaders are expected to butt heads on everything from cybercrime to human rights

Putin is expected to bring up human rights in the U.S. by pointing to last summer’s anti-police riots. You’d never see anything like that in Russia, Putin will probably say. This is because
... because Russians unlike Woke Americans and west Europeans are proud of their culture and scorn Wakandan savagery and shakedown routines
Yes, some people are determined to continue the farcity of the Chinese virus lockdown and shutdown inspired mentality, which (natch) just might continue into NEXT YEAR!!!
Behold the unpersuasive and tendentious argument coming from one of the smuggest-looking broad bureaucrats since her boss showed her self-satisfied ugly puss onto the political scene:
[CNBC] - LONDON — Vaccine policy will top all other economic polices this year as the world tries to recover from the coronavirus crisis, International Monetary Fund chief Kristalina Georgieva said Wednesday at CNBC’s Global Evolve Summit.
"Vaccine policy this year, probably next year, is going to be the most important economic policy, may beat even monetary and fiscal policy in terms of significance," Georgieva told CNBC’s Geoff Cutmore.
"A prerequisite to bring the world to a sustained high level of growth everywhere is to vaccinate all people and that’s not yet done. We have [a] two track vaccination path right now; we have to overcome that," she said.
The IMF said in April that the end of the crisis was "increasingly visible." At the time, the institution raised its economic projections for the global economy based on higher vaccination rates and the ongoing monetary and fiscal stimulus.
As a result, the IMF projected a global GDP growth of 6% for this year and 4.4% next year. But the forecasts are heavily dependent on how vaccination programs evolve, including in low-income nations. And we all know just how reliable forecasts of all stripes have performed in the past year, don't we?

What's all the hubbub? Vaccines are great! Like for Shingles, Polio etc. The Chicom Covid jab is an mRNA experimental genetic modification that has only EUA (Emergency Use Auth). So what if the spike protein migrates from the injection site to cause heart/ lung /repro issues...small price to pay to have an answer to "your papers please..."
[BBC] Concerns about the health of the Ganges river in India have existed for some time. Now a new environmental crisis is looming for the country’s most important water source, due to Covid.
During the second wave of the pandemic, hundreds of bodies have been buried in shallow graves along the banks of the river, near Prayagraj (also known as Allahabad) in northern India. With the monsoon season about to hit, it is feared that many of these bodies will end up in the river, polluting it even further.

Passing laws is easy. Enforcing them is another kettle of locusts.
[DAILYTIMES.PK] The Senate’s Standing Committee on Human Rights on Wednesday unanimously adopted ’The Islamabad Capital Territory Senior Citizens Bill, 2021’ and ’The Domestic Violence (Prevention and Protection) Bill, 2021’.The bills, which have already been passed by the National Assembly, were presented in the maiden meeting of the committee, held here at the Parliament House under the chairmanship of Waleed Iqbal.
Federal Minister for Human Rights Dr Shireen Mazari, while presenting the bills, briefed the committee on the salient features of two bills. The committee members appreciated the efforts of the Human Rights Ministry in tabling such bills which were pivotal for the well-being of citizens.
After detailed deliberations, the members suggested some editorial amendments and thereafter the committee unanimously passed both the bills.
A report to the House in pursuance of the ruling of the Senate chairman was presented in the meeting.
Earlier, Committee Chairman Waleed Iqbal welcomed the members and stressed the need to work on human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. across party lines and beyond politics.
Senator Mushahid Hussain Syed highlighted the issue of curbs on media and the proposed Pakistain Media Development Authority Ordinance. Dr Mazari, however, termed it an unauthentic news, saying no such ordinance was being issued.
Senator Muhammad Tahir Bizinjo suggested that the committee should also look into the attitudes and mindset that prompted violent mostly peaceful behaviour.

IIRC, NASA used Intel 8086 processors in those days because they hadn't gotten around to testing any of the more modern CPUs. It didn't have to be fast, just reliable. Now it sounds like the memory is the problem and the CPU is still OK which is pretty good after 40 years.

I may have an 8088 based system in my hord.
Given NASA"s budget.. would asking k $20k
for parts and $22 Million for the service call be in the bid window?
I happened to be doing a google search for photos of the Hubble Telescope in orbit, when I happened to find a photo of interest. I downloaded it and pulled it up in Photoshop, where I zoomed in on the telescope.
That is when I noticed something that wasn't quite right. Something was in the picture, near the Hubble.
I began lightening the area with the Dodge Tool set on Midtones at 7%. Something began to appear and take shape. It is very strange, to say the least!
I am enclosing the original photo and a cropped version that I worked on.
Thank you,
Rog
(Editor's Note: I wrote Rog back and told him I thought the photograph was interesting. I also stated that there might be a very simple explanation for the unknown object, considering the many objects in orbit.
If any of our readers know what the second object might be, please let us know.)
[Townhall] A group of parents in Gainesville, FL, concerned about potential harms from masks, submitted six face masks to a lab for analysis. The resulting report found that five masks were contaminated with bacteria, parasites, and fungi, including three with dangerous pathogenic and pneumonia-causing bacteria. No viruses were detected on the masks, although the test is capable of detecting viruses.
The analysis detected the following 11 alarmingly dangerous pathogens on the masks:
Half of the masks were contaminated with one or more strains of pneumonia-causing bacteria. One-third were contaminated with one or more strains of meningitis-causing bacteria. One-third were contaminated with dangerous, antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens. In addition, less dangerous pathogens were identified, including pathogens that can cause fever, ulcers, acne, yeast infections, strep throat, periodontal disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and more.
The face masks studied were new or freshly-laundered before wearing and had been worn for 5 to 8 hours, most during in-person schooling by children aged 6 through 11. One was worn by an adult. A t-shirt worn by one of the children at school and unworn masks were tested as controls. No pathogens were found on the controls. Proteins found on the t-shirt, for example, are not pathogenic to humans and are commonly found in hair, skin, and soil.

Welcome to the real world. Those promoting fears should all live as the boy in the bubble lived. We live in an ocean of germs. We re-breathe others air. So when you drive down a road and smell cigar or cigarette smoke what might that tell you. Then still smell these orders with the mask on.

I about belted a teacher, a neighbor, for getting on a 1st grader having his mask down for 5 seconds after a drink.
4 months ago, still pissed.
Saw someone's granddaughter, face strapped, literally climbing up her leg trying to get max distance from me, au natural.
Re-breathing bad air for 8 hours is going to be the least harmful aspect of the house arrest.

Healthy and active does wonders.
Sitting around the house waiting for Big Burger to show up at your door is the worst thing people could do.
We did basically fucko out here. Some people got sick, but local meds had a cocktail put together and 2 days later out the door. Caught a lot of shit for it too, not wanting to do the square dance. In total, 6 deaths with the Covid, and I'm telling ya the Fates had already granted them extra thread.

Its amazing to me how many, including Doctors, act as if we are basically wide open to infection and disease here on planet earth and catching anything is a literal death sentence as if we were in some alien environment we hadn't experienced before.
"OMG! You ate a strawberry without washing it first!!!!"
Attention: We, as humans, evolved here. this earth is our natural environment, our home. Very little here, relatively speaking, can kill us. At least very little which has not been designed in some laboratory financed by the government.

AMEN!
Thank you for this. I wish our leaders had as much common sense -- called 'common' because it's so rare -- as you and yours.
What extraordinary stupidity we've witnessed these past 15 months.
That's the crux of it. Most of those bugs are facultative pathogens - meaning they'd happily eat or kill you, but your body has evolved defenses to keep them under control. And if not, we've got modern medicine to fight back with. So bring it, you little microbial *bleep*ers!
As for children being self-propelled disease vectors, that has to be totally unsurprising if you know any actual children.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
