Friday Ephemera
Attempting flight. // Tooth, claw and torpedoes. // About 40 seconds in you’ll spot what’s gone wrong. // Trees and fog. // A bunk bed for dogs. // “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.” Jaws, short version. // Jazz computer. Full-fat cheesy noodling. // Caterpillars, baby. // Abandoned Chinese fishing village could use a woman’s touch. // Jellyfishies. // Caution, wet floor. // Students, check your leftist privilege. // Up, up and away. // To lift a big helicopter you need a bigger helicopter. (h/t, drb) // First swim. // Leafcutter ant farming. “They’re using the leaves to grow something else.” // Maps on demand. // Dickens World and other theme parks. // Vertical turntables. // And finally, “obtain alluring slim loveliness” with bust-reducing cream. Works in weeks. Also enlarges bust.
Technically just made my 100th post at Rebuttals from Martin Bashir, but that’s counting some stuff in drafts that I haven’t actually posted yet.
A bunk bed for dogs.
Of course that will only be permitted if there is a most improper absence of cats . . . !
Hippies vs. Sioux in battle of cultural appropriation.
The Rainbow Family is known to congregate in a mountain valley east of Provo, Utah. They are NOT popular visitors, given their sudden numbers and tendency to harbor less-than-stellar citizens.
So, yeah. Occupy Wall Street with fewer hipsters.

Blimey. Trans-racial pretension, unwashed hippie tree huggers, violent non-violence, the United Urban Warrior Society… This story’s got everything.
Attempting flight.
I’ll take a dozen.

Dave M,
If you want to keep on excitedly linking to your own blog every week, perhaps you’d do us the courtesy of linking to something specific and relevant, at least tangentially, rather than just the front page. Over and over again.
This is the only time I’ll ask.
Tooth, claw and torpedoes.
I love a good nature documentary.
Some highlights from the Times obituary for Patrick Macnee.
Ah, simpler times.

Re Patrick Macnee (and Honor Blackman)
I’m pretty sure I used to own a 12” single of that, twinned with Laurie Johnson’s rather jaunty Avengers theme.

Given the general impenetrability of the place, not a bad idea, host…
not a bad idea, host…
I’m generally happy for people to link to their own blogs where relevant, but it does get a little wearing if a commenter’s sole contribution is to say, every week, “I HAVE A BLOG TOO! LOOK AT MY BLOG! LOOK AT MY BLOG AGAIN!”
The cat must’ve been interesting to explain as a cause for an emergency return.
Not to be a wet blanket and I’m guessing I’m not the only one who remembers, but that vertical turntable (first link) thing is nothing all that radical or new. Had them back in the late 70’s/early 80’s. The horrors(!), this implementation lacks a linear tracking arm. Why…all that pressure exerted on the outside of the groove, what damage it does!
Oh, yeah…an no dust cover. I mean, WTF? Kids today…it’s all about the image…

But he does get the first comment, right?

sH2, the lady in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mlwzf_bqVI makes a few good points on why just one might be too many. I guess most of her arguments could also be made about toddlers.
Oh, and for entertainment, the Indian Eminem; Chicken Fried Rice – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JR1wWHWSK48
Hugs all around,

Most likely it still has anti-skating, which is what balances forces. Linear tracking is different, and can be made to work quite well, but mechanical precision and resonance control and its mitigation are what really count. To wit.
Which leads us to the model with the speakers in its base. It’ll hum its own tune.
So it’ll need a patent.

The cat belongs there.
“Pour info le chat va très bien, il continue avec application son rôle de mascotte du club”
They knew le chat was there because she does this all the time, looks like.
So, a car can be defused, and be quiet. Except for all that yelling and screaming and stabbing.
Cattleprods probably better. Multitasking. Gaia can rest.
And yes, I am sure she has lots of cats.
“The Americans are welcome to their flying monkeys,” [a leading Soviet scientist] supposedly said, “we’re more partial to dogs.”

The typical ’40s-’60s jukebox had a vertical turntable. It would have been much harder to rotate the disc before and after playing.
I worked for a guy who had one as his record player. He told me it had better playback than a horizontal table.
Linear tracking is different, and can be made to work quite well,
I haven’t owned a turntable in 20 years. And yet in a closet somewhere I‘ve a large box of 12” singles. I don’t think I thought it through.

Apparently, the stowaway cat is the club’s mascot and despite the drama she’s doing fine. Manly brute that I am, I did, though, spend two minutes muttering, “Don’t fall off, don’t fall off, don’t fall off.”
Still, it was almost worth it just for the pilot’s “Oh bugger” face.
The cat did that intentionally. It was studying how the pilot operates the plane. For its next trick, it will watch and rewatch, “North by Northwest,” although that will be about how to stop Kanye and Kim from replicating a third time.
“The Rainbow Family” no doubt possesses a stench that would re-deaden all who died at Little Big Horn.
“To lift a big helicopter you need a bigger helicopter.”
In this case yes, but not always. An AS350 B3 can lift an AS350. Never seen it myself, but apparently it can be done.
Because it’s easier to destroy someone for an offensive remark when you make up the remarks yourself.
A report by an EU official who also attended the speech, tells a different tale:
Turns out his accuser, Connie St. Louis, is a habitual liar.
Except not exactly. This DailyMail link provides the full story.
Turns out his accuser, Connie St. Louis, is a habitual liar.
And now, happily, her uppance cometh.
Right, I’m off for a big family food do. Play nicely.
Are you taking the key to the liquor cabinet?
“To lift a big helicopter you need a bigger helicopter.”

And one wocca can carry another one.
