Tie string on its tail, send it down the pipes, then pull back up for a good scouring.
That is not the sort of cleaning that Mrs Tiggy Winkle is generally associated with.
She is also not a rusty porcupine.

Reading the book. It's like an intellectual version of the Pit. Very, very good, and very depressing. It's the book Ol' Kirbo needs to read to understand in part why places he said should just work on changing cultural attitudes will turn everywhere into Swiss Heaven is bullshit, and why the UK and other Yurpean countries are so fucked. But he won't.

Amanda Marcunt is wrong all the time, but a lot of folks were wrong this time. The Left completely missed the real appeal of trump, cuz they've been clueless as to why they drove away the white working class, or that man-hating harridans like Amanda Marcunt are one of the reasons.

This is totally unrelated to anything we are usually talking about, but I think it is cool as shit. Some birds have a special protein in their eyes that is thought to be sensitive to certain blue light frequencies. This blue light is caused by the Earth's magnetic field. The theory is that birds can see the Earth's magnetic field because of this protein. It has been known that birds can detect magnetic fields. It is not known precisely how they do it.

I reckon quite a few of Dicky Carrier's birds have ended up with a special protein in their eyes too.

Nike are smart.

They are headquartered in Seattle... which is no excuse but does explain a lot.
Headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon, considerably more conservative.
Beaverton being butt up against the affluent west hills of Portland which is in turn butt up against the Portland maximum density SJW and hipster inner core.

Nike itself is strongly trending SJW. Every minority has a very prominently-involved-in-campus-events 'network' group. Diversity and Equality t-shirts, banners and all hands shout outs are ubiquitous. Even login screens on corporate laptops show the oppressed group of the month as much as they show product anymore. Have heard multiple people in hiring positions state they are having problems filling roles because they are pre-filtering out white male candidates before team interviews -- "I want to bring some balance to the team." Have hired a lot of zero technical background women for senior technical roles -- then morph senior technical role job duties to emphasize running meetings and creating presentations while junior technical people are told to get the work done.

Not all is lost. Was one case of mutual complaints to HR. The woke employee complained that a coworker was a nazi. The accused nazi complained that the woke one was telling everyone he was a nazi. The woke one quietly left. There was legitimate shock among those of us who are less than woke and feel secure enough talking softly in corners.
I'm sure Beaverton has some elements from nearby, but when I can't believe it's as far gone woke as Seattle is what I meant. Nor would I blame any corporation's wokeness on mere location, rather a cynical attempt to show they're the good ones and increase sales. Although having a woke labor pool probably doesnt help.

Seattle has become a nearly monolithic cesspool, and I regret buying a house anywhere near it. Technically, I'm closer to Tacoma, but the traffic and idiocy from Seattle is omnipresent.

The obvious answer is that he could have resigned his commission in protest and gone to the media with his concerns.

A little thing called the Holocaust put the kibosh on using the "I had to follow orders" line as an excuse.
Dallaire did speak to the media after the killing started as I remember.
That's my recollection as well, and that's exactly the point: Communication to the media only happened after the genocide began in earnest. (Remember that this was the culmination of on ongoing civil war, so there had been plenty of reports of killings previously.)

What I don't recall, and can find no evidence of, is any sort of media reporting that weapons were being stockpiled and attacks were imminent.
My recollection is that reports were coming out fairly early on from the CBC including complaints from Dallaire about UN inaction.

That is not to say that international media didn't drop the ball on the reporting, but I think that it would have been unlikely that Dallaire's resignation and protest would have helped the media get out the story any more quickly or accurately.
The resignation of a top UN commander saying he wasn't getting the support he needed in a war zone? We'll just have to agree to disagree on that one.
Dallaire had remained behind and sheltered thousands of potential victims so there was good reason not to pack up and go home. In fact, after the conflict began some countries pulled their troops out of the UN mission which certainly didn't help the situation. I think it is really unfair to fault Dallaire for his efforts, he wasn't the one responsible for the UN and its member countries for screwing up, and even more unfair to compare him to people committing war crimes by following orders. Hopefully Phil will pop by and share his disappoint.

The Rwandan media's role in the genocide, especially radio broadcasts, is well documented. As for the "greatly lacking" US media, let's just say that's not what I recall, and a quick check shows that Wapo's initial reporting on the killing came in a matter of days, the New York Times and the CSM followed suit not long after, and it was openly referred to as genocide less than a month later.

BoxNDox: I think we will agree to disagree. Should he have resigned before the killing began? When he was refused permission to raid the government arms depot?
While he was actively trying to protect as many people as possible? While he was still engaged in lobbying for intervention?
Even if you think his resignation and subsequent complaints would have saved more lives you have the benefit of hindsight. He didn't.
Also I think comparing it to "just following orders" as per Germans in the Holocaust is a poor analogy.

Copper sulphate down the drain works.
Not halal for septic tanks, unless used with great care. :geek:
Can you toilet people (or "men" as Ophelia calls them) confirm that copper sulphate is safe and effective? Regular toilet, inside a house, no weird backwoods septic tanks or anything. How much and how often? Will killing the roots in the drain cause leakage where the dead roots were effectively plugging them?
The best advice is to put 1/2 a cup of CuSO4 down the bog "regularly". I guess that means that you go hard with a serious blockage and ease off once the blockage has passed. Leakage should only occur if the roots have cracked or distorted the pipes. The Mudbrooker might have better insights on this aspect.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news (not really, I'm kinda twisted that way) but from what he describes, Brive is well and truly fucked. A cracked clay tile sewer with joints bad enough to admit roots and "mysterious holes" is at the end of its service life and will only get worse from here. Root killers only work after the root has gotten into the pipe and dead or alive, they block the pipe just the same. The cost of maintenance for a few years will soon (if it hasn't already) exceed the cost of replacement and every time you clean out a bad pipe you run a greater and greater risk of collapsing it. As for eliminating the tree responsible, don't bother. Even if compacted when backfilled and allowed to settle for years, trenches are much softer soil than the surrounding virgin ground and roots will run amazing distances down a sewer ditch. The roots causing the problem are as likely to be from a tree across the road as one in your yard. Just to add to the joy, it sounds like the part of the line the municipality is responsible for is in piss poor condition too. All told, the only solution is to tell the youngling she's gotta pay her own way because daddy needs a place to shit, replace the sewer on your side of the property line, document the condition of the city's portion and spend the next few years browbeating them into fixing the problems on their side.
Ain't home ownership grand?
Absolutely agree. I've done patch up where I've had a bad joint connecting my sewer lie to the septic tank and roots found their way in.Because it was near the surface in loose sand and because the roots were sending little trees that identified the culprit I got about 8 years out of a temp fix but have to do it again soon. Killing the roots made it so they were easier to remove after a few years. Having said that it is an easily accessible thing and I plan a total redo my plumbing into a new modern system.
I agree with your assessment of Brive's problems. They bought him at least a temporary fix. If there is uneven settling in those nazi pipes then just dig the fuckers up and replace them with proper pipes.

One of my favourite Burt Reynolds films was 'Breaking In'.

The trailer doesn't really do it justice - but it's a nice little movie and a change of pace from his usual choice of movies.

Now shes whining about how she doesn’t get invited on JoCos booze and cruise as a free guest.
Maybe less whiny self investment and alcoholism and more do anything else with your life? Maybe they heard how she was regularly paralytic on the first TAM cruise and had to be cleaned up after every night by KittyNH after swilling down the free drinks, or not paying bar tab at Skeptic Oz.
Maybe cheating on the ex who still works with myth busters has led to a subtle distancing by the in crowd who smell a social climbing rat.
Mystery.

If possible, I would like to not see bare-chest Jesus ever again.

Someone buy this guy a t-shirt.

This is offensive. The guy is an ex-satanist.

I'm not sure that Alex Jones has more than a passing acquaintance with the truth though. And his 'Sandy Hook was faked' position was bound to prove useful for his opponents sooner or latter.

Reading the book. It's like an intellectual version of the Pit. Very, very good, and very depressing. It's the book Ol' Kirbo needs to read to understand in part why places he said should just work on changing cultural attitudes will turn everywhere into Swiss Heaven is bullshit, and why the UK and other Yurpean countries are so fucked. But he won't.
A couple of sentences from the review I am finding hard to digest:
Meritocracy may or may not be a good way of managing civilisation, but don’t kid yourself it’s any fairer to reward people born smart than it is to reward men with posh surnames, Pakistani Muslims, women, or immigrants.
Perhaps it comes down to deciding whether you want your society to be as successful as possible (measured in terms of scientific and cultural progress, wealth generation, competing effectively against other societies), or as fair as possible (cradle to grave state support, equality of opportunity for sure, maybe of outcome as well), but they are mutually exclusive. I'd argue the successful society would be in a better position to afford assistance to those in need than one set up by levellers who discover they can only achieve their ends by sabotaging the successful rather than by transforming the unsuccessful. The devil is in the details, and I suppose most of politics is, in theory anyway, about achieving the right compromise. To that extent, I am bemused by the thought that I am in favour of less fairness: as a child of Attlee's welfare state I never thought I'd say that. But the repeated lessons of childhood in that era and those before was that the peurile complaint 'It's not fair!' would always be answered with 'Life isn't fair, get used to it.' When did we begin to believe that life, the universe and everything is fair? Given our varying innate skills and abilities ought not fairness mean only that society exploits all of what we each bring to it for our mutual benefit?

I was disappointed to read further and discover the reviewer was obviously an economic anarchist/libertarian, citing the nonsense & debunked 'Public Choice Theory' and claiming that the only reason immigration lowers wages is due to government constraints, like workers rights protection, on the labor market. (In a Kirbian wall o' text slurry I shan't bother to quote.) Seems like Dale/Darville/Demjenik is channeling Ayn Rand in a few ways.

But it sounds like the book itself is good.

It you haven't already, you should read the book. Striptease the movie is OK, kinda sorta, but the book is funny in a way the movie should be but isn't.

After years of covering Florida crime and corruption for the Miami Herald, nobody does stupidity quite like Carl Hiaasen.

Then again, I liked Sharkey's Machine back in the day, so what do I know?

I did in fact mean the book was good, not the review.
