I shall reply in salon.

Of the degrees of charity, notwithstanding the anti-jews (nazis, zionists, finks). .

Maimonides gives 8 levels of an ascending scale of quality. Charity is considered, according to my long gone Rabbi friend, a legal obligation, not a choice. Evidently rules, laws, custom along these lines are manifestation of evolving civilized cultural ways of living, and necessary. Probably, imho, absent charity a system fails mechanistically as well as morally. The Abrahamic origin an’ all of that…

I note that we see very little charity among peoples of zone west. And (gasp!) zero charity from zionists or nazis… (well they do give lead…) What we see is almost always between poor people. In zone west big ambition is to get enough power to live at the expense of the powerless, eg ambition is to own slaves and live on rents. This is so commonly accepted that people cannot countenance argument to the contrary. Lack of charity is evidence of proximate social and moral deterioration and collapse.

We observe charity even in dogs, but the nazis? Never.

Sometimes men, pirates, brigands, fiends, may come at night and steal, or murder. At night, many time,s they wish to sneak around in bare feet… So? So> Carpet tacks. Add nice magnet to facilitate picking them up as needed. Thanks to Joshua Slocum. Speaking of boats and books… Slocum’s writing stands as a particularly fine example. Indeed, copying in longhand and learning his style until it’s natural was one of my early lessons…though I did not confine to Slocum, but worked such exercises with several authors. Plumber’s The Boy, Me, and the Cat is also a good subject for learning style, voice, and precis. Bother authors tell great story of not so long ago.

Mechanic’s wire. Black coated, Invisible at night, mostly. Take it down in morning, and remember it’s there at night! Ties to stack of cans, etc, makes racket. Very cheap!

Spark-o-matic might also be nice (aka fence charger) The power drain is very small, and some are solar.

The curious costume caught my eye as well. Alas, however, I have not located the speech “Geographical and Strategic Borders” at the Russian World Youth Festival  The map was cute! BB discovers 2 can play!

Of carpenters… The realm “carpenter” is as said, engineer, inventor, even sage, and we recall the Jesus, who was a carpenter. However the word, the title, is not much understood. Read this example of what a proper carpenter would be expected to know and do>

Now then, how many people today….never mind.

There are several online similar handbooks. Worth download. These fellas built factories starting with little more than trees and iron and clay. A competent carpenter can make the shop and then make a rifle…or he can make millstones, or a boat… Is the primary trade of industry.

Noting that exercise Nordic Response goes through M14. Such might
“go active”

The Helmer addresses the affair of German recording, and points to a peculiar fella.

Wem schadet das abgehörte Gespräch der deutschen Luftwaffenoffiziere über Taurus am meisten?

The article reveals much of “krautlichkeit” But! The extensive comments are ever better!

Altogether is marvelous display of delusional belief.

Do read the remarks

They could have had their conversation with megaphones on Red Square in Moscow. WebEx is from Cisco and, as has already been pointed out here in the forum, the finest Druid tea.

It was a secret conversation, but it was intercepted by the Russians for at least 38 minutes and made public on March 1 by Margarita Simonyan, the editor-in-chief of the RT television channel.
“Secret Conversation” and Cisco. *cackle*

And it’s certainly not just the Russians who heard – half the world, from London to Washington to Beijing and via Ankara and Moscow back to Bonn.

What’s more interesting is the question of why the Russians published it and who it was aimed at.

Gerhartz said that no one knew why Chancellor Scholz did not deliver the Taurus to Ukraine.
The word “nobody” obviously refers to the group within the German ruling class that Gerhartz is close to (let’s call them “Group G” for simplicity). Scholz belongs to another group (“Group S”).

You could ask the British to help with this and provide them with databases, satellite images and planning stations.
This suggests that “Group G” is on good terms with a certain group of Brits. This does not necessarily have to apply to “Group S”. And not for all Brits either.

I surmise that a provocation is scheduled, the bridge is to be destroyed on or about M 14, and exercise goes live. Note that there are factions.

Game is for keeps, and anybody can play. “Fifty years ago, the streets of Leningrad taught me one thing: If a fight’s inevitable, you must strike first,” … I fergit who said that 😉

Dear Emerson, is that Swedish “good crowd”

Or the old fortress. It strikes me as metaphorical as well as true. Noun and Verb. Good!

I used to keep a list of names for boats, names like Muckle Flugga…Ghostcard…Willie Sutton…and so on. Scandalously jotted in the back of some navigation text… I suppose it’s around here somewhere.

Of the Scottish, grand dad might have been a Scott of the Quaker inclination, even Ohio born. I remember the soft accent from his poetry, though I was very young. Granny was also of the Scottish lines, she kept tartans, much lost with her.

Archeon my brother, stock wicks, they are difficult to weave. Even fish oil…

Our seasons are as Twain said, wet and dry, with spring and fall lasting about 2 weeks…and in the wet, it’s hunker down and read, study, bake, sew, with brief walks with the dogs and cats… yes, the cats – raised all together the kitties see us as mom and dad, and walk along with us and the dogs, which is probably normal in history of our species and theirs. The workshop roof leaks just enough, and the cold intrudes more than enough, that projects just about stop. I’ve an old harley motorbike that’s been “under repair” for maybe 3 years out there! And parts laid out under tarps, and a big welding project with pipe, which means lots of shaping the bits and getting things dead on…and it’s a small shop… Working on roof in Summer is too hot, and in Winter too cold and wet, and old fella wants to avoid falls… but I did buy some coating… maybe in our 2 week Spring…

Treasure Island was, iirc, written in the wet, in a small cabin.

Meantime the inflation… Just about as expected. And I didn’t expect to get this old. We manage rather well, with increasing frugality.

……..

We have a somewhat similar phenomenon, people sell and are deceived by their beliefs and ambitions and whims (and ubiquitous grifters) to spend unwisely…easy to do in cruel and rapidly changing, deception filled, field of view.

As Orlov said, people wind up living in their vehicles. Later on they’re sleeping rough.

If not for Mrs P I suppose I’d be living on a boat in the river delta, but these digs are better. I am domesticated. This is disconcerting for me.

………………..

As a child I swam in the icy surf of Monterey Bay, later, as an adult, I did qualification dives there. I know cold water!  And in placid realms gunkholing in Maine, as well.  And sailing small boats, even paying out a line and letting the boat tow a naked boy through the wild sea. Seems miraculous that I’m not dead, probably is.

Blessing to all y’all!

I see reported GPG jam has increased > https://gpsjam.org/

recalling that’s reported, ostensibly… if no airplanes go to a zone they will report nothing, even if there is jamming there. But still. Jamming reports seem to have grown large.

F-35/ F16x2 flight recon claim. Two can play calibration survey of target. Ruskie maybe permitted. 😉

Alas. Note your detailed eschatological eye shines brightly, my friend. The eye here is more complex mechanistic, with “cosmic rays”… but both point to the abyss. That’s to say “check”.

As an Instructor.
Good evening, my enthusiastically optimistic friends…
Don’t be afraid… IT won’t bite, it will only sniff…

Yesterday, in the airspace of Ukraine, an F-35 fighter-bomber was recorded flying, accompanied by two F-16 fighters, which took off from the Mihail Kogelniceanu airbase in Romania and simulated missile strikes on Crimea. Also, the F-35 attempted to conduct electronic reconnaissance in order to establish the location of Russian radar and electronic radar systems. The operation lasted up to half an hour with the support of air defense systems and radar systems transferred to Ukraine by the West, which indicates the coordination of actions.

So, seriously, is Stavka going to wait for it, or are the nazi hq’s in rifle sights? I have no idea…
