  1. I think it's a case of the medical industry covering its backside.  The 1 in 20,000 chance that something will go wrong with the developing baby.

     

    My mom wasn't gaining enough weight when she was pregnant with me, so the doctor told her to drink 2 bottles of beer a day.   I came out fine.

    That's what I thought. Apparently television and movie script writers don't agree.

     

    To have it on the last bell there would have to be a standard interval agreed on by the entire industry.

  3. From the Vallejo Police FB

     

    On June 1, 2026, at approximately 2:09 a.m., officers assigned to the Vallejo Police Department Patrol Division located a white Ford Edge near Tennessee Street and Mare Island Way. Officers conducted a records check on the vehicle's license plate and discovered it had been reported stolen in Vallejo and was assigned to a Ford Explorer.

    Based on the circumstances, officers conducted a high-risk felony traffic stop and safely detained the vehicle's occupants without incident.

    During the investigation, officers conducted a records check of the vehicle's identification number and discovered the Ford Edge itself had also been reported stolen in Vallejo.

    The driver told officers she had purchased the vehicle earlier that day for approximately $2,500. However, when officers contacted the registered owner of the vehicle, he reported the vehicle stolen and stated he did not know the driver. The driver was unable to provide proof of purchase for the vehicle.

    During an inventory search of the vehicle, officers found a loaded, unserialized firearm inside a bag on the front passenger floorboard. A records check revealed that the passenger was a convicted felon due to domestic violence, possession of stolen property, and vehicle theft, making him prohibited from possessing firearms.

    During the investigation, both the driver and passenger denied knowledge of the firearm. Based on the totality of the circumstances and evidence recovered, the driver was arrested for possession of the stolen vehicle, and the passenger was arrested for firearm-related offenses.

    Both the driver and passenger were booked into the Solano County Jail.

    The stolen vehicle was removed from the stolen vehicle system, returned to its rightful owner, and the license plate was entered into evidence.

    This case highlights how proactive patrol enforcement and thorough investigations continue to help officers recover stolen property, remove illegal firearms from the community, and hold offenders accountable.

    OK...here's the dangerous weapon.

    Trivia time:  Star Trek actually copied the space logo, not the other way around. How, you ask? The Air Force, and later the Army, have had a space operations badge for decades (the Army copied the Air Force's badge in 1998 and simply produced the same badge in Army colors). The center of the badge contains what looks like a Star Trek communicator. It is the map symbol for a satellite. Gene Roddenberry was known to have copied it for Star Trek.

     

    I don't do this often,  but can you provide a link to something showing that? I've just spent half an hour looking online and can't find it. Closest map symbol I've found is for anti-armor.  

    I'll buy that it was influenced by the NASA meatball logo.

  5. All "hair of the dog" does is get you sort of redrunk, numb you a little,  and draw out the recovery process. 

    I found that matching drinks 🍸  with a glass of water between them,  then a quart of water and some aspirin or acetaminophen before going to sleep helped to mitigate the after effects. 

     

    But I'm drinking so little now that one serving of alcoholic beverage makes me feel like 3 in an hour did in my 20s. 

     

    We buy it mostly for cooking.  I've found that gin, with its hint of juniper berries, really enhances pork and chicken dishes...deglaze the pan with it for sauces. Tequila for beef.

  6. The reactions to my comment on the "Breakfast" thread got me thinking about pickled vegetables.

     

    Here's some of what I was talking about. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Good stuff, Maynard!

    Milk came in C Rations?

     

    I was reading the recipes on that nice yellow thing of recipes. At least two of them required milk.

     

    On the list of ingredients for the recipes, some had an * in front of them. And at the bottom of the recipe it said that stuff marked with an * were from a standard C ration.

     

    The B Unit often (always?) had powdered milk.

    It looks like the woman has a set of castanets or something similar in her left hand. If you listen closely you can hear multiple clicks when the spoon is not hitting the left hand object. What she has may not be the typical Spanish style castanets but they seem to work similarly. 

    I enjoyed the performance. Joe, thank you for posting it.

    Looks to me that she has 2 spoons in her left hand and 1 in her right.

  9. I think that most of us found it funny because not only is it evocative of Star Trek dress uniforms, which are no sillier than any other uniforms, but paired with the insignia

    which,  in spite of official denials, seems heavily influenced by Star Trek communication badges

    gave lots of fodder for ridicule about Space Cadet wannabes. 

    Also, "Space Force," brings to mind so much pulp and B-movie Science Fiction involving the Whoever Space Force,  and grand Space Navies.

     

    The public affairs and perception aspects were not well thought out.
