Jupiter said...: You know, I don't get the thing with bathing with an electrical appliance. The live and ground ends of the power cord are generally pretty close together, so what you would expect is for a short to go through the water and blow a fuse or CB somewhere in the household wiring. End of story. I guess maybe if you have a cast iron tub, and it's grounded, then current can flow from the live wire to the tub, and through you, if you're in the way. But even so. I have gotten 120-volt AC electrical shocks, from fooling around with live wires, at least two dozen times in my life, likely more (who's counting?). Hardly any of them killed me.

I think Colonel Mustard, in the bathroom, with a blowdryer, is not really a plausible solution.; 4/5/24, 10:15 AM

Jamie said...: ...JK Rowling has balls

I can't for the life of me remember what it was, a movie or a comedy series (maybe it was Rick and Morty?), but I'm recalling a scene with a female PE teacher or possibly college coach exhorting all her charges to do things like "grow a vagina," "step up if you've got the vulva," stuff like that.

Darkisland said...: Is JJ Welles Scottish or in Scotland? I wonder if the tweets might fall foul of the new hatecrime law?

Maybe that is why he deleted it, from fear of fascism not from remorse or change of heart.

Is JJ Welles transgender? Good question. Pink News https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/02/14/jj-welles-jk-rowling-apology-nazi/ says he is a queer actor and drag queen.

Not "gay" apparently. Being "gay" is so mainstream these days. I still have no idea what queer means these days. Seems like pretty much whatever you want it to mean at any given moment.

And "drag queen". That could mean transgender or, like RuPaul, it could mean a gay guy who likes to impersonate women. Not pretend to actually be one. RuPaul is a gay man. There could be straight drag queens.

Weirder and weirder.

Not in your post but if you read JK's twixes around that time she threatened to sue him for calling her a Nazi. I still think she should do it. Even if she doesn't win, she has FU money for lawyers and he may not. Let her vex him a bit.

And do it in Scotland if he doesn't live there. Make him bleed.

Lawfare! It's not just for fascists anymore.

Otherwise, I cant tell you how much it annoys me to hear about "transgenders". what's next people with foot fetishes or into SM get identified as a "Minority"?; 4/5/24, 12:57 PM

I've been meaning to read the books but have not, yet. I did see the video on BritBox and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I have been hit with 120 more times than I remember. I remember the time I got too close to a 240 30a.

Usually in a house on a wood floor with flooring you are not grounded particularly well.

We were in a house with the wire boxes uncovered and I told my then 6 year old daughter to be careful with the uncovered light switch box she was messing with. She said that it felt like getting bit which it does. She was on concrete too which is a better ground than most flooring.; 4/5/24, 2:07 PM

TaeJohnDo said...: JK Rowling is an international treasure.

I once had a very neon Hamm's beer sign I was hanging. I was on a step stool, and I turned it on to check it out and went to adjust it. Somehow I hit an exposed transformer or wire. My wife, in another room said she heard a grunt and a thump: the grunt was when the electricity hit me and the thump was when I hit the floor.

I will do simple wiring but I do have a healthy respect for electricity.; 4/5/24, 6:30 PM

Hamms is the greatest Beer ever made. In 1979 it was the greatest Beer in Iowa, my first adopted state.

In Ham radio, I tried to bolt a longwire to a coil and hit the CW key accidentally, 150 Watts, and burned a sixteenth inch groove into my finger. Cest La Vie. Cest La Guere.; 4/5/24, 10:55 PM
Tina Trent said...: RCOCIAN II: heterosexual, biologically female women are (extralegally, everywhere, and slyly) excluded from being counted as victims of either sex or gender hate crime. In the US, some 9-10,000 heterosexual women are raped by strangers every year, and I've seen about ten of those crimes prosecuted as hate crime in the span of 25 years, even if the offender killed multiple women. Or multiple gay men.

Meanwhile, mere slurs committed during a carjacking, if the victims and offenders are the right combination of races, gets counted as hate crime. So does simple assault, which is most often just words. Imagine if "b****h" or "c**t" were treated legally the way the words like "n****r" or "f***ot" or "tr***y" are in the commission of a mugging, robbery, assault, or any other crime. Or if we examined patterns of punching people in the face in big cities. No, we just m
Dehumanized real women, made us second-class humans under the law, really under, because police and prosecutors and judges are carefully trained to not bring these charges, though the distinction exists nowhere in any law. Sorry if I'm out of all empathy for dishonest lawyers who zip their precious lips over the fact that sexual minorities are treated as more important humans before the law than I am -- unless attacked by other sexual minorities, which is the majority of crimes against them. The silence and dishonesty emanating from so-called legal scholars has destroyed the most important legal principle of America: equality before the law, including for victims. They have destroyed justice itself.

I keep a file of murder-rapes and murders where the victim's genitals are mutilated, set on fire, impaled with weapons, or if sexist slurs are carved into their corpses or living bodies. Not one has been prosecuted as a hate crime. Why? The ADL, Simon Weisenthal Center, Clinton, Kagan, and Holder didn't want their precious statistics cluttered up with women's bodies -- or gay male rape and serial rape bodies either.

And law professors did nothing. Nothing. Don't make waves, screw the female half of the race, while calling yourself a feminist? Nice.

Also, statistically, by percentage of population, more real women than trans women are raped and murdered every year. So that's just another dehumanizing lie too.; 4/6/24, 5:16 AM
