Ok, the 'you should exercise more' thing is getting confusing.

Having artificial knees, and bicycles being much more easy on them than walking or running, riding it is; except that it's been bothering my knees and feet some.  

So today, just to try it, used different shoes than the old yard shoes.  And, so far today, the feet are better.  Why the HELL the shoes would make such a difference on feet when you're just pushing pedals, I have no idea.  Knees I can see some upset just at the exercise, but feet?

My back's been acting up a bit as well, which could be the changing weather, or just my effed-up back deciding to act up some new ways, or- maybe- something about the other exercises might be annoying it.

"Take care of yourself, exercise more!" my ass.

Sometimes the future is NOT stupid

 A Girl Scout who fell into a canyon during a hike in a remote, mountainous part of Southern California earlier this year was rescued within hours after suffering a potentially dangerous concussion thanks to a direct-to-cell satellite service that enables users to get in touch with 911 using a regular smartphone in the absence of terrestrial cell phone coverage.

I admit I'm half-amazed the memorial for Charlie Kirk was not disturbed Added

by idiot leftists trying to kill a bunch of people.

Probably a combination of lots of good security work, and the left realizing just what the consequences would be if they did it.  Which, considering a lot of the idiots involved, is amazing.

I mean, seriously, this is someone at CBS?  This is what they put up as a public face?  

Whatever the reason, I'm glad.

Added: I have to repeat, some of these people are truly insane.

And now, it being both a weekend and me being behind

on posting, some clearing is needed

                                                        And speaking of sleeping soundly,

And now, on to

Know those times you start to point out a slight problem with what someone said,

and find yourself thinking "Why bother?"  Someone used to know, who I'd thought pretty level-headed, but damn.  She has Trump Derangement Syndrome badly, and now she's part of the "Trump got Jimmy Kimmel fired!" brigade.

That he was losing audience and money for the past while from what I've read, and then went out and said some stupid things that really pissed off lost of customers?  No, couldn't possibly be that, nooo...

There was some news earlier today, Pres. Trump is declaring antifa a terrorist group.  Actually gets done, it's going to be a nightmare for them, because that means intelligence as well as law enforcement going after them and the people who give them money, with no friendly/scared mayors and city council clowns providing them assistance.  I'm sure the Usual Suspects will insist they're just peaceful protesters- "Just ignore them blinding people with lasers and trying to commit mass murder by arson and all that other stuff, that's just free speech, after all"- but they've hurt a LOT of people, and done a LOT of damage, and a lot of people are going to be real happy that this is done.  Which will probably make at least some of the bastards a bit desperate, so if you're in an area where they operate, you might want to be extra careful the next while.

Speaking of asshats, ran across this: Remember when, not long ago, a CBS idiot made a statement about Hitler and the National Socialists weaponized free speech against the Jews?  Which most anyone with a brain and any knowledge of history was shocked at.  This is a piece by Mark Steyn on this stupidity, which includes

Me eight years ago:

It is a testament to the wholesale moronization of our culture that there are gazillions of apparently sane people willing to take out six figures of debt they'll be paying off for decades for the privilege of being 'taught' by the likes of Professor Bray. The reason 'we don't look back at the Weimar Republic today and celebrate them for allowing Nazis to have their free-speech rights' is because they didn't.

The Weimar Republic was so hostile to freedom of expression you'd think the Chancellor was Mark Zuckerberg or that pre-Musk Twitter weirdbeard.
With details following.

I now need to make sure all the bits and pieces are put away for the night, and get some things ready for tomorrow.

A new-to-me PC is installed,

and on some points Windows 11 is a PITA.  For instance, unless you know to change some settings, anything you save, or copy over, can get 'saved' to Onedisk.  Screw that noise.  Some other things are different, enough that it's a pain to find what you're looking for until you get used to it.  I swear, they look for things they can make difficult.

Yes, the Aztec really were a bloody-handed bunch,

and no, the Spanish didn't make this stuff  up to excuse the conquest.

Between personal stuff, and the idiocy of the leftists

insisting 'Everything is on both sides!' I just haven't felt much like writing. So, instead,

These people really don't like having their own words repeated to them;

gee, I wonder why they hate it so much?  Other than being assholes, of course.

They also hate the idea that 'You shouldn't kill someone over opinions'.  Which apparently is horribly offensive to leftists because it seems to be their go-to plan.

There are massive marches in multiple countries in support of  Kirk and his actions, and the media is playing their usual bullshit game: "Far-right", etc.

And Nancy Pelosi, being the shit she is, is currently insisting "WE are not responsible for what someone does with our words(but you on the Right really need to shut up)"  Because she's a truly sorry creature.

And Larry Correia points out "These idiots don't realize just what they've shown people." 

Click to embiggen.

And a bunch of teachers, hospital types, 'educators' and others are finding out their employers have a real problem with them dancing in blood and celebrating a murder.  Which is fine: they're just wonderful with Kirk being murdered for talking to people, so they can't whine too much about being fired for doing the same, now can they?

A short clearing, long busy day

and I'm beat

This reminds me: had a friend who threw a party, and so it'd get used to people she let her boxer puppy run around.  Wood floors(veryimportant).
He ran over to me at one point, I started petting, and he flopped on his side.  So I put at hand at nech and butt and gave  him a good shove.  Slide across the living room, came to a stop, jumped up , ran back to me and flopped.  

About the fifth time she walked in, asked what the bleep I was doing: "Playing with the pup."  Not the kind of playing she approve of so into his cage he went.

Always got along with that dog.
