Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 15 Dec 20 - 09:33 PM As my dear old friend Manny Kant said, "Die Logiker sagen mit Recht, daß man beim Gebrauch der Urteile in Vernunftschlüssen die einzelnen Urteile gleich den allgemeinen behandeln könne. Denn eben darum, weil sie gar keinen Umfang haben, kann das Prädikat derselben nicht bloß auf einiges dessen, was unter dem Begriff des Subjekts enthalten ist, gezogen, von einigem aber ausgenommen werden. Es gilt also von jenem Begriffe ohne Ausnahme, gleich als wenn derselbe ein gemeingültiger Begriff wäre, der einen Umfang hätte, von dessen ganzer Bedeutung das Prädikat gelte. Vergleichen wir dagegen ein einzelnes Urteil mit einem gemeingültigen, bloß als Erkenntnis, der Größe nach, so verhält sie sich zu diesem wie Einheit zur Unendlichkeit, und ist also an sich selbst davon wesentlich unterschieden. Also, wenn ich ein einzelnes Urteil (judicium singulare) nicht bloß nach seiner inneren Gültigkeit, sondern auch, als Erkenntnis überhaupt, nach der Größe, die es in Vergleichung mit anderen Erkenntnissen hat, schätze, so ist es allerdings von gemeingültigen Urteilen (judicia communia) unterschieden, und verdient in einer vollständigen Tafel der Momente des Denkens überhaupt (obzwar freilich nicht in der bloß auf den Gebrauch der Urteile untereinander eingeschränkten Logik) eine besondere Stelle." |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 14 Dec 20 - 09:14 PM I don't know. From an omnicient POV, sides don't matter. To law and order it matters. Reasons are variable. Due to infinities some reasons that probably are held by entities that consider themselves Galactic Overlords would be alien to us. Einstien's equations can end in infinities which clues me into thinking infinities exist. If they exist anything is possible like there is no outer edge to the universe. Time may have an edge and could make black holes inside our universe the only edges where time stops and space time and mass change places with each other. In our observable universe we can see Mass transform into Energy as sunlight everyday. I suppose Energy turns into mass someplace really cold. The transformations inside black holes are probably beyond our comprehension like spacetime and energetic mass transforming into its opposite. It might be a gateway or a new universe...like I said I don't know. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 13 Dec 20 - 08:44 PM Last night one of the Idaho Legion Fortresses was attacked by the forces of the Galactic Overlord (who is now styling itself as the "Multidimensional Intergalactic Overlord"). As you can see, they used a cloaking device to attack from a direction other than that which the Multifocal Incinerator Beamcaster was pointing. Fortunately it was possible to rapidly swing the 'caster and destroy the attacking fleet. This has led to a lawsuit in the Extreme Court of Mercy charging the Legion with "Unwarranted Ugly Behavior Against the MIO" and asking that time be rolled back and the whole incident redone. The Legion isn't having any of it and asked that the case be dismissed "With Extreme Prejudice And Then Some." |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 11 Dec 20 - 03:28 PM While shopping for chess sets there were all kinds; Game of Thrones, The Hobbitt, Haarry Potter, Trump vs Biden(however Biden and Harris are not available but can be purchased seperately). There were no Dicks vs Assholes chess sets. There should be: dick 1 |d?k| noun vulgar slang 1 a man’s penis. • Brit.a stupid or contemptible person. 2 [ mass noun ] [ with negative ] N. Amer.anything at all. verbchiefly N. Amer. 1 [ no obj. ] informal waste time; mess around. 2 [ with obj. ] (of a man) have sexual intercourse with. ORIGIN mid 16th cent. (in the general sense ‘fellow’): pet form of the given name Richard. Sense 1 of the noun dates from the late 18th cent. Next, from the same dictionary: asshole noun vulgar slang US spelling of arsehole. arsehole |'??sh??l| nounBrit. vulgar slang 1 the anus. 2 a stupid, irritating, or contemptible person. Suppose for a moment that we don’t give a rat’s ass(hole) about the lexical definitions. Suppose… for a moment that you would only want to hear my analysis of these two words. A ‘dick’ is predominantly used to describe someone who’s actively irritating others with various malicious acts. An ‘asshole’, on the other hand, is passive. Let me elaborate. For example, you’re shopping for groceries at the supermarket. A ‘dick’ would push his cart into your butt, say sorry, laugh about it, and then cut in line. Hell, he would steal the items from your cart and throw in items that are embarrassing or super expensive. An asshole, however, would just stand in your way. When asked to move, he would stare at you incessantly, as if he was the owner of the space, and frown. Thus, being called an ‘asshole’ is still better than being referred to as ‘dick’. MY CHESS SET The pawns for ass holes are pretty straight forward. The Castle Assholes are HUGE. The knights are drive a Ferrari, Bishops are 2 of the 4 major religious symbols. The King Asshole and Queen can be custom ordered. The Dick pawns were small. The Dick rooks were large, the Bishops looked pretty normal but were dicks. The knights wore condoms. The Dick king or queen came in only one version. Rich Dicks and Bitch Dicks. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 09 Dec 20 - 09:46 AM Hi, Mom! I'm painting the exterior of my house and have run into a bit of a problem. I have finished the east, west, and south sides, but since it's December, the sun is in the southern sky all day long. The remaining northern side of the house gets no sun at all. The paint is drying very slowly and working there is just a bit on the chilly side. What I need is a few volunteers to help me turn my house 180° so the north side becomes the south side. Not permanently, but just for a couple of days, and then we'll spin it back. Who's up for lending a hand? If that sound like too much trouble, we could try reversing the earth's axial tilt for a few days. That would probably work just as well. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 08 Dec 20 - 09:36 PM Now warm with ministerial ire, Fierce sallied forth our loyal 'Squire, And on his striding steps attends His desperate clan of Tory friends. When sudden met his wrathful eye A pole ascending through the sky, Which numerous throngs of whiggish race Were raising in the market-place. Not higher school-boy's kites aspire, Or royal mast, or country spire; Like spears at Brobdignagian tilting, Or Satan's walking-staff in Milton. And on its top, the flag unfurl'd Waved triumph o'er the gazing world, Inscribed with inconsistent types Of Liberty and thirteen stripes. Beneath, the crowd without delay The dedication-rites essay, And gladly pay, in antient fashion, The ceremonies of libation; While briskly to each patriot lip Walks eager round the inspiring flip: Delicious draught! whose powers inherit The quintessence of public spirit; Which whoso tastes, perceives his mind To nobler politics refined; Or roused to martial controversy, As from transforming cups of Circe; Or warm'd with Homer's nectar'd liquor, That fill'd the veins of gods with ichor. At hand for new supplies in store, The tavern opes its friendly door, Whence to and fro the waiters run, Like bucket-men at fires in town. Then with three shouts that tore the sky, 'Tis consecrate to Liberty. To guard it from th' attacks of Tories, A grand Committee cull'd of four is; Who foremost on the patriot spot, Had brought the flip, and paid the shot. By this, M'Fingal with his train Advanced upon th' adjacent plain, And full with loyalty possest, Pour'd forth the zeal, that fired his breast. "What mad-brain'd rebel gave commission, To raise this May-pole of sedition? Like Babel, rear'd by bawling throngs, With like confusion too of tongues, To point at heaven and summon down The thunders of the British crown? Say, will this paltry Pole secure Your forfeit heads from Gage's power? Attack'd by heroes brave and crafty, Is this to stand your ark of safety; Or driven by Scottish laird and laddie, Think ye to rest beneath its shadow? When bombs, like fiery serpents, fly, And balls rush hissing through the sky, Will this vile Pole, devote to freedom, Save like the Jewish pole in Edom; Or like the brazen snake of Moses, Cure your crackt skulls and batter'd noses? "Ye dupes to every factious rogue And tavern-prating demagogue, Whose tongue but rings, with sound more full, On th' empty drumhead of his scull; Behold you not what noisy fools Use you, worse simpletons, for tools? For Liberty, in your own by-sense, Is but for crimes a patent license, To break of law th' Egyptian yoke, And throw the world in common stock; Reduce all grievances and ills To Magna Charta of your wills; Establish cheats and frauds and nonsense, Framed to the model of your conscience; Cry justice down, as out of fashion, And fix its scale of depreciation; Defy all creditors to trouble ye, And keep new years of Jewish jubilee; Drive judges out, like Aaron's calves, By jurisdiction of white staves, And make the bar and bench and steeple Submit t' our Sovereign Lord, The People; By plunder rise to power and glory, And brand all property, as Tory; Expose all wares to lawful seizures By mobbers or monopolizers; Break heads and windows and the peace, For your own interest and increase; Dispute and pray and fight and groan For public good, and mean your own; Prevent the law by fierce attacks From quitting scores upon your backs; Lay your old dread, the gallows, low, And seize the stocks, your ancient foe, And turn them to convenient engines To wreak your patriotic vengeance; While all, your rights who understand, Confess them in their owner's hand; And when by clamours and confusions, Your freedom's grown a public nuisance, Cry "Liberty," with powerful yearning, As he does "Fire!" whose house is burning; Though he already has much more Than he can find occasion for. While every clown, that tills the plains, Though bankrupt in estate and brains, By this new light transform'd to traitor, Forsakes his plough to turn dictator, Starts an haranguing chief of Whigs, And drags you by the ears, like pigs. All bluster, arm'd with factious licence, New-born at once to politicians. Each leather-apron'd dunce, grown wise, Presents his forward face t' advise, And tatter'd legislators meet, From every workshop through the street. His goose the tailor finds new use in, To patch and turn the Constitution; The blacksmith comes with sledge and grate To iron-bind the wheels of state; The quack forbears his patients' souse, To purge the Council and the House; The tinker quits his moulds and doxies, To cast assembly-men and proxies. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 03 Dec 20 - 05:47 AM A happy routine outcome with no need for bypass or gross transfusion is what you want. Every procedure has a whoops or two. When they don't matter, YOU WIN. Other than expense, the reason there should not be routine MRI's is because they invariably show small abnormalities.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 02 Dec 20 - 09:27 PM Saw my doctor yesterday and the surgeon today. Apparently a carotid endarterectomy is a major surgical procedure.

However, the surgeon estimated that only 20 cc's of blood were lost. And from what they said I'm doing pretty well for someone who had major surgery. The CAT scan and MRI notes say that my skull is intact and that no gross abnormalities were found...just little ones, apparently. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 27 Nov 20 - 09:21 PM If you are offering me a blunderbuss this is a nice one in 10 gauge; they also have one in 4 gauge. This kit is on USD 999.99, too, and I get to put it together. I have found that a blunderbuss is quite a good argument not to "stand and deliver" a coach! No, I haven't been doing either in the past few months. First the SARS-Covid-19 and now surgery recovery. I probably won't make the Christmas party either. Now, as the song says, the ground is white...and going to the range in winter can be iffy. Sliding off an icy road that clings to the side of hill can test your seat belts! It's also cold and windy up there. But a set of longjohns and a good coat and hat and gloves...well, maybe. On February 10 I present a program called something like "The Recent Crime Spree in Idaho: 1840-1910 or so" for the local continuing education group (New Knowledge Adventures, or NKA). I've done these before; this one will concentrate on names like David Updycke, Boon Helm, Henry Amos Plummer, Marion More, Jack Slade, and a few others. Bear in mind that the towns of Bannack and Virginia City, Montana were in the Idaho Territory in 1864. In the meantime, I recuperate and play my horn. Speech therapist, a wonderful person and fellow trumpeter, said it would be excellent exercise for tongue and cheek muscles -- much better than the tongue push-ups I thought he'd order. Swallowing is still a problem and will be for a while. |
