I early boted today.

First time as an "early" voter. Smooth process. I was going to sit this election out. The only REAL motivating factors being some local issues where one or two votes really does matter.

One of the state races didn't have a Libertarian candidate but a Third Party name I don't recall. I'm pretty sure, but not certain, it wasn't DSA. So I voted for him. 🤣  

A week from now and its aftermath count on at least these things: whoEVER loses will accuse the winner of cheating and/or rigging. Lawsuits will be filed. Boxes of ballots found in car trunks, break rooms, side of the road a day or two after Tuesday. Recount, RECOUNT! 

It'll be ... 

I believe some who drop by here are in TX, I have a question. Could TX go "blue" this time? Comments are moderated but you can comm as Anon. Texans, what's the reality that you see that it could flip blue? 

Steam KILLDOZER release planned for December 1, 2026!

Steam: KILLDOZER SIMULATOR.

Click on the video and activate the audio, lower left hand at link. 

Two video clips and screen shots. 

Looks fun! KEK! 

Does anyone miss this sound?

Don't aks me. I don't know.

Maybe it was, or is, because I didn't update for five months and closed blog to "Custom Readers Only." There weren't any Custom Readers. It was an option I used when offline. 

I don't know why the BlogRoll Links either do or don't reflect "most recently updated". 

Nor do I know why some people have told me they no longer have to log in and agree to the "Sensitive Content" landing page. (I land on it). The "Sensitive Content" icon (button) IS ENABLED/TURNED ON. If you're reaching this blog without having to log in and agreeing to the advisory of the "Sensitive Warning" page, I don't know how or why its habbening. This is why, long ago, I added advisories at the masthead.

I don't know why the time line of a couple of posts went awry. Things appear "okay" now. 

That's all I know. 😎 ¯\(ツ)/¯ 

The Loo Comes To You!

Long Summer Break.

I'm taking a long summer  break here. When it's in "Custom Readers mode," It's just my way of going offline, whenever. Might pop in here once in a while and will still be visiting the blog haunts. The plan is to return late August/early September. Gee, I wonder what the price of a gallon of gas will be then under 'da Orange Kang? But, "Man plans. God laughs." Not that I have any reason to believe I wouldn't return but we're not guaranteed tomorrow. Or 5 hours or minutes from now. 

Parting shots:

* New variant of TDS identified say experts. Trump Defender Syndrome. Main Sympton: Those who support Orange Jewlius no matter what. Where's that tarrif money we were promised? Oh, it's going back to the companies that paid it. Think they'll lower their consumer prices? "Two More Weeks!"

* Where's the taxpayer refund for all the DOGE money Elon identified? 

* Trump gets a $10 BILLION DOLLAR "brokerage fee" for "saving TikTok", which didn't need "saving." Some people thought it gave too much free speech that hurt their feeling.  There...there. There...there. 

* The Trump Mobile phone is supposed to ship soon  after causing a backlash by those who pre-paid some money on it.  

* Don Jr., and Eric make a ton of money investing and partnering with some drone manufacturer with ties to Israel.

* Below, from September 2025, aged well. And how's that going?  Well, those pledgy things get complicated. 

* Barron, amazingly and correctly, predicts moves up and down on oil futures with uncanny foresight into when the Strait of Hormuz closed, reopened and again closed, raking in millions. He has the same market prescience of the Pelosi family. SHOOKING! 

* You know one way or the other taxpayers will be paying for some or all of the Ballroom Bunker. The Arc 'd Trump. 

* And all 'da Orange Kangz' vanity projects will be demolished once democrats become the majority again. A waste of time and money, but they'll do it. 

* Where is the remaining two-thirds of the Epstein Files and will they be released? "Two More Weeks."

But hey, I know those suffering from this new TDS variant would be okay with Biden, Obama and Clinton doing the same as OrangeCrayon Face. So there's that. 

Enjoy your holidays this year (Memorial Day, Independence Day, etc). Stay safe. Pray for peace. 

I guess if I don't return for some reason this will remain locked in Customer Reader mode.   ¯\(ツ)/¯  

Oh well... 😎

Spy cockroaches; Germany plots the future of warfare.

al-Reuters (July 2025): Spy cockroaches and AI robots: Germany plots the future of warfare.  

Some of the ideas under development feel akin to science fiction – like Swarm Biotactics' cyborg cockroaches that are equipped with specialised [sic] miniature backpacks that enable real-time data collection via cameras for example.

Electrical stimuli should allow humans to control the insects' movements remotely. The aim is for them to provide surveillance information in hostile environments - for example information about enemy positions.

"Our bio-robots - based on living insects - are equipped with neural stimulation, sensors, and secure communication modules," said CEO Stefan Wilhelm. "They can be steered individually or operate autonomously in swarms.

How'd I miss this story in July? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Timepiece Assembly.

Talk about talent and skill, working with such tiny gears and components. Impressive. Well worth the watch (no pun intended). FULL SCREEN MODE.

Marksmanship! (VIDEO)

I don't 'member where I found this. Maybe at Chans or Gab? If it recently was on your blog (on my Blogroll), rest assured I'm not copying you and withholding credit. I'm past due visiting many, just FYI.

Saturday Dog, Cat, Kid

It looks fun! 

Have run this before. Never seen a cat so malleable and non-blinking. Cat's on drugs! 🤣 

Ran this a couple weeks ago. Can watch it forever. She's so happy when the rock hits the water. Memories made. 

A Nice, Clean, Blog Colonoscopy!

That's what I like to see. Found: 0 Results. 😎 

A couple times a year I check muh blog out at Lumen. 

Lumen checks (and also logs) your URL for free but part of that depends if the host reports to Lumen. According to Lumen, it collects reports of complaints, Copyright violation, etc. 

Google/Blogger states on their Terms of Service (TOS) they report all complaints to Lumen. I don't know what other platforms report to Lumen (WP, IG, X, etc) because I've no presence online other than here at the Good folks at Blogger. And I mean that. 

Short course on Lumen if your host is Blogger (or maybe other Google owned service, like You Tube, again I don't know, never used Lumen for YT).

First, go to Lumen at the link in the first second sentence. Enter full URL. Click Go. You'll get to prove you're NOT a Robot by clicking crosswalks, motorcycles, cars or something. You get the, "Hoo-Ray you're not a Robot, hold on" message.

You'll see your URL and under "the box" a bunch of entries. Ignore them. Unlikely they have anything to do with your site, it's all populated with partial, slight matches that have nothing to do with your results. 

What you want to do is click on ADD MORE and narrow your parameters. A sub-menu to pick from for Title, Topic, Tags, Recipient, etc. Then in the ADD MORE box you type in what you want added to the search. You need to click on the ADD MORE button each time to add another specific "drill down" item. 

When you've used some or all of ADDS,  click GO or Continue, I forget which. Then, "Taa-Daa", the Results. If you're using Blogger, getting "FOUND: 0 RESULTS" is just what you want to see.   

I maintain Google/Blogger TOS. Far too many I see whining, "muh soooooooooshuuullllllll meeeeeeediiiaaaaaa account was suspended or 'I'm ba-ba-banned. Waaaah'!" Well, did you break TOS? "Uhhhh...I really don't know." WTF are they talking about. They know they broke TOS.   

My previous Blog Colonoscopy (6 or more months ago) also "FOUND: 0 RESULTS". Who doesn't want to share good colonoscopy news? 🤣 

EDIT/ADDED: I am not, in any way, affiliated with Lumen. 

One must ask, "How was a building permit approved in the first place?"

I'm going with: "Bribes." 

Be like this Dad.

Or Gramps, Uncle, big bro, Mom, Gram, Aunt, Sis - whatever. But more of this.
