You Can Keep The Wire
A truck entered an automatic car wash with a large spool of wire still in the bed, and the spinning brushes quickly turned it into complete chaos. pic.twitter.com/DrVstYIkMa

Update, via the comments:
The, um, incident, since you ask, occurred in Goldsboro, North Carolina:
“I needed to put up more fence for my cattle, so I purchased this reel of high tensile wire the night before, and the next day I went up town to take care of some business at the bank,” Corbett said. “I decided to run through the car wash ‘real quick’ and didn’t think about that wire.”
“I went to the car wash and the guys checked my truck out for safety. I went through and that’s when all hell broke loose,” he said. “It wrapped up half of the fence in just a matter of seconds and beat the hell out of that car behind me. It sounded like a war zone,” he added.
I’m guessing those neglected Christmas lights and self-tangling steam-iron cables don’t look so bad right now.
Somewhat related. She’s an “equality enthusiast.”
I suppose I could say this one more time.
“The foreign policy establishment isn’t there to create disorder; the foreign policy establishment is there to preserve disorder.”

Academia and the world of editors and poets wherein we find a tale of heterosexual marriage with a whole lot of extra steps and “learning”.
It does raise the question of why Bush fils responded as he did to Iranian provocations.
“Please educate yourself.”
As did I.
I liked it better when Cracker Jack® prizes didn’t include advanced degrees.
That sounds like something Retief would say, much to the distress of his incompetent superiors.
That word “learning” is doing a lot of extra work.
“Indicted”, but it is Washington state so “convicted” is not something I would bet on.
Moderates.
Closely related: Remember when academics, pundits, and public intellectuals said that Ayaan Hirsi Ali was unqualified to talk about Islam?
It’s why the letter ‘n’ dropped out.
The thing of it is that whereas she may have grown up in commie Czechoslovakia and the comparison of commie propaganda to utterances of Obama, Biden and that crew would have been apt, but to Trump et al. is patently absurd and simply a manifestation of grade 4 TDS.
Scroll down for added context.
Why is there a war in the Middle East?
Not sure if the guy is a buffoon, or just likes posting video game air disasters because everyone parks across an active runway (and all airports us crossing runways at the same time).
I agree.
But I couldn’t resist noting yet another appearance of the “educate yourself” bullshit.
“Why isn’t there a war in the Middle East” is a more appropriate question during the rare times when all is quiet.
(Just as Thomas Sowell’s rejoinder to the chronic liberal complaint “Why is there poverty?” is “You should ask why is there prosperity, because poverty is the historically normal state of mankind.”)
The phrasing has pretty much become a self-undermining noise. An incantation that backfires.
Fighting the patriarchy, a drama in three parts.
And lest we forget, we’ve been here before. That whole crushed by other people’s politeness thing – specifically, someone holding open a door, probably out of habit.
And then there was this rather telling item:
One of my favourites, I think, that one. And do read through for the inevitable twist.
I’m thinking of what Dubya told someone once. (Was it Glenn Beck or did Beck just report it?)
He said that POTUS has many of his actions limited by pre-existing conditions. That there are hard-coded situations that POTUS just has to accept.
I wonder if “The Mullahs must stay in power because the Left says so” is one of those things.
I wonder if “War has to just go on and on with restrictive ROEs because the defense community wishes it” is one of those things.
I wonder if Trump came to understand all those things in his first term, and when he came into his second he said, “yeah, screw those rules.”
It’s long past to time withhold politeness and civility from these people.
In fact, it’s time to withhold tolerance.
Again, what’s striking is that the Atlantic published this ode to antisocial selfishness as if it might somehow leave the reader feeling sympathetic towards the author. As if one might feel some kind of affinity. Rather than, say, repulsion or contempt.
And the editors of the Atlantic went on to select said article as a “must-read” from their archives, presenting it as a measure of the magazine’s rigour and credibility, it’s importance to the progressive lifestyle.
I mean, you could ponder that series of decisions for quite some time.
How it actually went down?
“Bibi, we got a problem. We might have to stop the war.”
It wasn’t so much “screw the rules” but “screw the clique”, because normies notice it seems totally (D)ifferent when the club members do it.
The left constantly telling people to “re-educate” themselves vs. the right pleading with people to think for themselves is a flashing neon sign.
“To Serve Man” was first broadcast on March 2, 1962.

Priorities.
The linked video looks more like rocket launches. A very hasty internet search says the Iron Beam laser operates at around 1 micrometer, which is in the infrared. Thus the beam would not be visible.
More vegan cat news.
I saw no evident beam. What’s visible may be the atmosphere being heated along the path of the beam – 10Kw to 50Kw is a lot of energy to deliver to a small area.
Skimming this, it would seem the aperture is a bit larger than 1 micrometer.
Seriously??!!
Fatigue, Russian edition.
Dave Burge responds.
If it heated the atmosphere that much it would have little energy left to strike the target, I think. (A longstanding problem with lasers.) There would have to be a lot of debris in its path to see a path of incandescence. And the speed of light is such that you would not see a visible progression of the ionized beam resembling a missile launch.
I meant that the laser emits light of about 1 micrometer wavelength, which is in the infrared.
I have not bothered to find out how transparent atmospheric gases and vapors are to that wavelength.
The Village People maybe.
Not aperture, but operating wavelength. The aperture / beam diameter is probably more like 10-100 centimeters.
