Watched the last Landman episode last night
Cypress Sun replied to Buckshot Bear's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I saw the first two episodes on regular Paramount, then they put it on Paramount Plus. I liked the first two but I'll be damned if I'm paying more just to watch a show.- 1 reply

Play in progressive tool head?
Cypress Sun replied to Nostrum Damus SASS #110702's topic in SASS Wire
Seems to me that if a toolhead/dieplate must be loose and/or have "play", or secured contrary to manufacture instructions, to accommodate an improperly indexing counterpart...the machine is way out of adjustment or alignment. Metal on metal "play" is never good, particularly aluminum (or alloy) on aluminum (or alloy) "play". Sorry, can't subscribe to the "loose/play" theory -

Fires in and/or around LA, and other CA locations, have been occurring for years. Hell, Jim Morrison sang about them in LA Woman fifty-four years ago. There are preventative measures that can be taken for known hazards with a high probability rate of occurring. Meteors aren't high on the probability list. The Texas ice storm fiasco had it's beginnings in 1935 with the TX power companies forming an alliance so that they could remain independent from other, out of state, power utilities. What that meant was that they wouldn't have to share their power with other out of state utilities else if the need arose. Conversely, because of that, they couldn't get power from other out of state utilities if their systems failed. Although the ice storm was a major fiasco, the temperature rose, the ice/snow melted and life continued. They still had homes and their possessions. Many folks in the LA don't have ANYTHING now except for what they were able to wear on their back and/or pack quickly. There's a BIG difference between the LA fires of today and the TX ice storm or a few years ago.

Everyone wants their "scenic" view and protest bitterly when proper, responsible abatement is implemented....until their homes, businesses and neighborhoods burn to the ground or are washed away by floods.

Problem is that they aren't using the proper carving instrument...

What? I don't know that...AAaaaahhhhhh

It was bad with the Santa Ana winds but this happens year after year after year. Sometimes it's in different parts of the state, sometime in the same place as now. The origins of the fires may differ, but the results are always the same. People get burned out of their homes and businesses...yet they keep re-electing the same people that are supposedly in charge of ensuring that it doesn't happen again...and again....and again. Better planning goes much further than making sure the fire hydrants have water to work. Cleaning out underbrush, establishing/maintaining firebreaks, keeping reservoirs filled and a myriad of other preventative measures have to be part of the planning and above all, implemented.

"A strong sprinkling of the low white trash clay eaters"
Cypress Sun replied to Subdeacon Joe's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I never called you, or any other Northerner presently alive, a yellow bellied Yankee. If you took it that way, I apologize. My comment was meant for a Mr. Thomas North who is obviously geographically challenged as Texas is not an "Atlantic Southern State" nor are all Southerners "low white trash clay eaters". I, like you, am proud of my heritage. I'm also aware that others are equally proud their heritage and try not to denigrate their heritage. Southern born and Southern proud. -
I've read accounts that they don't have the water to fight the fires due to low pressure from reservoirs being prevented from being refilled by natural means. I've also read about the LAFD budget being cut by the 17 million that Pat referred to. Fire budget $863,000,000, homeless budget $1,300,000,000. I guess it's a good thing they allotted the 1.3 billion to the homeless...they're going to need it. I'm curious as to whether the no water for fighting the fires is true. I have no doubt the rest is true. That said, I feel for the people, rich and famous or poor and unknown, that have lost everything they own along with their most treasured possessions.

That's a Yellow Bellied Yankee blue belly. I disagree somewhat. Someone says that kind of drivel to my face...there will be consequences. -
I didn't like it when I saw it this morning during my comics perusal routine. Still don't like it now. Not your fault Cheyenne. Just don't find anything funny about suicide...doesn't matter if it's Calvin and a cartoon snowman.

"A strong sprinkling of the low white trash clay eaters"
Cypress Sun replied to Subdeacon Joe's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I've NEVER heard of it. My entire family and extended family have resided in Florida since the 1850's. They came from the Carolinas, Alabama and Georgia. I've never heard of such a thing until today. I've heard of kids eating dirt, but all little kids eat dirt at some time or another regardless of where they live. I'd say 99.99% of kids quickly figure out that dirt doesn't taste good, so they stop eating dirt. The author of the below blanket statement has no clue as to what he is talking about. Do you think this practice is an eating anomaly? Everyone that was raised in the American South knows about white dirt. There are a few other odd distinctly Southern delicacies that fit with white dirt, like yellow root tea. -
Very nice, congrats on your escape! What's the deal with the beach sand, sand dunes and sea oats...in Idaho?

I was wondering the same thing. Almost all portable generators produce very abnormal sine wave patterns. A few of the larger, standby generators have power conditioners that correct this problem somewhat. For those with stove problems - If the stove utilizes electronic controls (touch to control, not dial type), I firmly suggest repair or replacement of the appliance. The risk of the appliance turning itself on when no one is home could be a real issue, especially after power failures or voltage fluctuations. This happened to a friend of mine. Fortunately for him, there was nothing sitting on the stove at the time and he noticed it right away when he got home.

It's amazing that they were able to escape with their lives. Thanks for the video, it was horribly enlightening.
