So, the latest fad among the Qnuts as well as various assorted righties is using a black flag to signify that no quarter will be given.
Just as a note to the side, declaring that no quarter will be given is a war crime under international law (c.f. Rome Statue 8(b)(xii), and 8(e)(x) as well as Hague and Geneva Conventions), regardless if the armed conflict is internal or international.
So yeah, no national military that is signatory to the Conventions would carry around paraphernalia indicating preparedness to violate the conventions. And that’s assuming the black flags meaning is what some appear to believe it is.
And just to clarify, giving a “no quarter” order is a war crime under all circumstances, regardless if you are a militia or a national military force.

Nah, that assumes that the media are afraid of them. No, the media has just fully self-internalized the ‘liberal media’ label, on top of internalizing the absurd divine right BS the GOP is high on. They truly believe that Dems have to prove themselves worthy of existing at all or otherwise GOP deserves everything by default. GOP never has to prove anything because their very existence is seen as ‘worthy’.

Call me evil, but I’m actually waiting for the conflict that is surely going to arise if the Evangelicals, Mormons and Catholics actually try to impose their beliefs on the local school district. That’d be Mesa Public Schools, which is the largest school district in Arizona, which is not saying much, given the way school districts are broken up here. Because they will fight. See Santa Fe ISD v. Doe (2000), where the minority Catholics and Mormons sued the school district to get rid of specifically Baptist prayers at football games. At one point the federal district court judge had to tell the school district to stop trying to find out who the anonymous plaintiffs were.
Just to give you an idea of how diverse it is around here—we have a big Catholic parish a mile from my house, three Protestant megachurches and more than a dozen smaller congregations within two miles and six Mormon ward houses /stake centers (which will have multiple congregations in them) AND a Mormon temple, also within 2 miles of my house.

re: #36 Citizen K
In many ways it is even simpler than that. The media makes far more money on “outrageous outrage”. Normalcy is boring. Functioning government is not exciting and they don’t get the eyeballs on the tee-wee and ears on outrage radio when things are going well. They need to manufacture outrage and fear and a cursory look at headlines and lead stories is all you really need to see it.
The media has conditioned itself to defer to the right not as much because they see it as the norm, but rather they see it as their money maker. Controversy and outrage sell and there are big bucks to be made. That is what the real media product consists of and the media execs don’t want to give it up. Even if they were inclined to swatting down those claims and talking points that produce the outrage and controversy, it’s a sure way to turn people off, who then turn the media off and then there are no longer viewers/listeners paying attention to the advertisers. That is the media’s worst nightmare.
Sadly, the days of news organizations being crown jewels and prestige loss-leaders for a network are long gone. I doubt that approach to news will ever return.

The “technicality” of a rock climbing or mountaineering route is based on how quickly you can traverse it. Factors such as: How hard is it to identify handholds/footholds; are there stretches that must be climbed with ropes; for mountaineering, do you need to climb ice walls or cross crevasses or other ice hazards; etc. If you can just walk along a ridgeline to a summit, it’s “technically easy” even if it is a giant NNNNNNOPE to the average layman.

Actually the major problem is a lot of the climbing companies (to maximize profits) will send inexperienced climbers up Everest thinking everything will be cool because there’s a team of Sherpas going with them.
But you need a HELL of a lot more than some good Sherpas to get up and down Everest in one piece.
Experienced mountain climbers have largely blamed Tibet, which makes a ton of money from people climbing the mountain, and thus has no incentive to adopt more stringent requirements for folks who want to go up there.

In its place is a hybrid regime dominated by a minority population. Welcome to a new South Africa 2.0.

If you climb the standard route, the Barr Trail, it’s a slog. 13 miles one way, 7,400 vertical feet elevation gained. Most people break it up into two days as there is a wonderful camping spot with showers and hot breakfasts about half way up (Barr Camp). There’s people that can clear the summit in under five hours.

I’ve climbed Long’s Peak. My dad and I left in darkness to get to the keyhole. Then I left him there and climbed to the summit myself (I was second one up that day). It wasn’t difficult, though there were some tricky places. The worst thing was that I had been in flatlands just 24 hours before, so I got a tremendous headache when I was done.
I was also lucky to be taken to climb in Japan’s northern “alps” to a place called Yarigatake. No ropes, but there are places where the trail is just a couple of feet across with thousand-foot drops on either side and a few spots where you have to hold a chain as you go around some rocky outcroppings again with nothing but sky below. About the tallest thing where I grew up was the interstate overpass.

I needed everything for the Longs Peak climb. Helmet, rope, harness, ice ax, crampons, the works. I should dig up photographs of that trip, yes, actual photos taken with film, this was 1999.
I remember how abrupt our arrival at the summit of Longs Peak was. It was literally like getting out of a swimming pool to gain the summit. There were already probably 50 people on the summit, and my BIL and I just came out of nowhere on the east side of the summit block all decked out in climbing gear. It was a heady experience.

BREAKING: Judge bars Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters from having role in upcoming election https://t.co/v8lUd1ZFVz #copolitics
— Jesse Aaron Paul ☀ (@JesseAPaul) October 13, 2021
Peters is the psycho Mesa County clerk and recorder who let Ron Watkins copy hard drives of their voting systems, the metadata of which was posted on The Gateway Pundit. She tried to tout her wares at the MyPillow guy’s “cyber symposium” in Sioux Falls, SD, that was like three years ago, yes? Anyway, Peters hasn’t been seen since, apparently she’s in hiding at one of Mike Lindell’s properties.

re: #75 teleskiguy
One mountain I’ve been to the top of but haven’t climbed is Pikes Peak. *My car* climbed it one time. If you climb the standard route, the Barr Trail, it’s a slog. 13 miles one way, 7,400 vertical feet elevation gained. Most people break it up into two days as there is a wonderful camping spot with showers and hot breakfasts about half way up (Barr Camp). There’s people that can clear the summit in under five hours.
I’ve been up the Barr Trail twice, once when I was 11 (Boy Scouts) and once when I was 14 (Civil Air Patrol). It is a tough hike but doesn’t require any special skills, just common sense and good preparation.

Arizonans waging guerrilla warfare against self-driving Waymo vans (1-2-2019)
Not everyone is ready to accept self-driving cars in their own neighborhoods, but it appears some Arizonans are taking that to the extreme with methods that would be right at home with the Van der Linde Gang.
The New York Times published a story on Monday about how some residents of Chandler, Arizona, have been waging guerrilla-style attacks against Waymo’s self-driving vehicles. Vans have had their tires slashed, and other locals have tried to run the vans off the road. The NYT says that one attack involved a person threatening a Waymo employee “with a piece of PVC pipe.” One person even waved a gun at a Waymo vehicle.

re: #95 teleskiguy
I remember how abrupt our arrival at the summit of Longs Peak was. It was literally like getting out of a swimming pool to gain the summit. There were already probably 50 people on the summit, and my BIL and I just came out of nowhere on the east side of the summit block all decked out in climbing gear. It was a heady experience.
That’s very cool. It was 1994 for me and I was in the best shape of my life. I was riding anywhere from 40-60 miles a day. My aunt and uncle built a cabin right below where the conventional trail begins, so we just jumped out of bed when visiting them. The big thing was getting through the keyhole and suddenly feeling gusts of wind and looking down at the valley below. The summit was pretty cool. These was no need for any special tools.

Wilson cussed out her subordinates, often demanded 12-hour workdays, berated them in front of others and called them names, said the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution and career damage.

The Keyboard of the Winds is what that’s called.
And yeah, the Keyhole route is totally doable for people in good shape, just have sturdy shoes, enough food and water, good clothing, and start at O’Dark Hundred (My BIL and I started just before 2 a.m.). It is hard to get lost what with the big bullseyes painted on the rock to denote the route beyond the Keyhole, considered Class 3, serious mountain climbing to be sure, but not extraordinarily hard. It is an exciting place.

Also, from that article:
In that particular terrain, search tactics aren’t straightforward. McDermott had sought the mountain’s 14,130-foot summit on the Knife Edge, the peak’s well-known northeast ridgeline. It’s not a technically difficult route, but as the name suggests, it’s highly exposed. The ridge is a pointed edge in some places, with 1,000-foot drops on either side.
That’s a big fucking NOPE from me.

Ok, breaking my promise. I found someone’s blog of the 3-day climb I was invited to in 1989 in Japan’s northern Alps. It was very similar—just spectacular (but for someone who hadn’t done any climbing before, quite terrifying). We did this in July. I happened to be training for a marathon, but this was far better than running. In August I ran a 1hr 20min half marathon; then in Sept. I ran a marathon in 3 hours and 14 seconds (shouldn’t have stopped for that last water break, I guess). I got into biking when I returned to the states.

Unions will gladly take the O/T to a reasonable extent. Those ports have critical irreplaceable cranes and other structures that are intolerant of fatigued operators.

Not exactly related, and last mountain post today, I promise. But the local paper each Sunday posts several “this week in New Hampshire history” items. A few weeks ago one such item was “First car to reach the summit of Mt. Washington in 190_ [I forgot] was a Stanley Steamer. Unfortunately ‘This Car Climbed Mt. Washington’ bumper stickers were not on sale at the top.”
Nor the wiseass “This Car Shit The Bed On Mount Washington” stickers!

Memories of Mom “mixing butter” when I was a kid. Tub of white margarine with a causer of carotene. Mom would put the margarine in a mixing bowl, break the capsule and then mix the dye into the margarine. I told her she didn’t have to do that. Didn’t matter to me since I would spread it on Roman Meal bread! I loved that bread, would eat a couple slices smeared with margarine for breakfast.

I read about a construction crane operator. He’d been working for a while and was watching another operator working his crane.
Those cranes are on very small-looking towers. They flex. A lot.
The guy was watching his crane flex and bend as it was being operated.
He walked off the job site and never returned.

A lot of modern ISO container cranes are now automated with the “grab” fitted with sensors and cameras everywhere — the crane operators aren’t necessarily anywhere near the crane itself any more, instead they’re in comfortable offices using screens and keyboards to “drive” the cranes. They can switch from one crane to another without having to get out of a cab, use an elevator to the ground, walk over to another crane etc.
I think I’m going to end up hating living in this state if the GOP are insistent on turning it into a dystopia:
[begin article] The vaccination contracts that sparked disruptive protests that shut down an Executive Council meeting two weeks ago were voted down at Wednesday’s Council meeting.
The scope of the two contracts included $27 million in federal funding that would have created 13 state health department positions for immunization work. The positions included vaccine outreach, assistance for health care providers navigating the logistics of vaccines and support for data entry on the state’s immunization information system. Health officials had described the contracts, and the money tied to them, as key to boosting the state’s vaccination efforts.
Councilor Cinde Warmington, a Democrat, was the only councilor to vote in favor of the funding. All four Republicans on the council voted against the money.
The vote followed a period of intense questioning of Department of Health and Human Services Commissioner Lori Shibenette, an angry back and forth between Gov. Chris Sununu and several councilors, and a long statement from Councilor Janet Stevens hailing the importance of vaccine equity and combating disinformation, meant to preface her “no” vote.
In a statement issued after the vote, Sununu said the “vote showed a reckless disregard for the lives we are losing while they turn away the tools our state needs to fight and win this battle against COVID.”
Speaking to reporters later in the day, Sununu said he pushed fellow-Republican councilors to support the contracts as hard as he could, but described the party-line vote against the money as driven by disinformation.
“At the end of the day, there was no rational, logical reason to say ‘no’ to these contracts,” Sununu said. “Every argument that the council attempted to bring up was shot down immediately.”
Opponents to the federal funds, meanwhile, like Kelley Potenza of Rochester, said Sununu has disregarded what they say is the will of the people.
“The people who want the shot have gotten the shot, they want the shot,” Potenza said. “Leave the other freaking people alone, we are done.” [more in the link]

Jan. 6 committee issues a scathing subpoena to a Trump official implicated in plot to overturn the election
The House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack has just issued a scathing subpoena to Jeffrey Clark, a former Trump Justice Dept. official accused of scheming with the then-president to overturn the results of the presidential election.
“The Select Committee’s investigation has revealed credible evidence that you attempted to involve the Department of Justice in efforts to interrupt the peaceful transfer of power,” the subpoena reads. “As detailed in a report issued by the Senate Judiciary Committee, you proposed that the Department send a letter to state legislators in Georgia and other states suggesting that they delay certification of their election results and hold a press conference announcing that the Department was investigating allegations of voter fraud.”
