    TerEsa needs to stay at Teresa’s house (out of sight)
    and mimic her moves,, and use the same products..
    since she don’t sweat, eating and drinking would
    be a moot point…

      True, just a power outlet and a
      3x3x6 foot closet would work,
      if she had to hide for any period of time.
      Or a small walk-in freezer/refrigerator.

    Well, that’s an easy out for him, and a sure-fire way to shut him up.
    I think he’s getting off easy, and I hope for his sake he knows it!

    Ah so TeReesa is part of the plan to end the Puufti’s BS for good.
    Taritha makes a valid point, it might be a dead give-away. Here’s
    a thought, maybe the answer to the android heat problem is in
    the fact they “breathe” and their internals can be water-proofed?
    Perhaps a recirculating coolant inside their bodies that is passed
    through their “lungs” to allow for more rapid cooling? I seen that
    used in movies and books where an android is damaged and were
    leaking coolant.

        I’m just saying if they used a coolant and replaced
        the “lungs” with liquid coolant heat ex-changers,
        it would be more effective.
        Just don’t let them breathe on you heh.
        Panting should speed the process.

        Water works ok for heat transfer, but something like window
        cleaner or antifreeze works much better. That one CPU water
        cooler I had suggested Windex.

    Now they should send operatives to hound him: ‘random’ civilians
    who seem to ‘know’ something about him and can he give them
    more information?

    For shits and giggles of course.

    And the Grand Poofti should consider himself lucky that
    he doesn’t become ‘late-breaking’ news, as in, the walls
    literally hitting him in the back as he begins speaking.

      Heh, true, they may have to keep tabs on the guy for a while.
      If I’m reading the vibe right,
      TeReesa is going to be “captured” to bring him out of hiding,
      and then “bad things” will start happening.

    I’m very disappointed. I was hoping Dumcan (thank you, Scars) would
    have to fess up in front of the chicks he was trying to do and be totally
    humiliated all while having to admit he was never in service at all! So,
    WAS Dumcam actually in service after all? Was there an op on Catia
    that went south as Mistral implied? I’m a tad confused.

        Induced Mandela Effect?

        BTW; I have some thoughts on the Mandela effect,
        time travel paradoxes, The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle,
        and even Schrodinger’s Cat.

        In short; the multiverse not only exists,
        but we all live in multiple timelines at the same time.
        Trust me, that, along with the associated Hypothesis
        that this idea is based upon, gives me such headaches,
        you would not believe it.

        The worst part? I think I might have figured out the overlap
        between Classical Physics and Quantum Physics,
        that violates neither,
        and explains the overlap In a way that actually makes sense.

        And no, I’m not being a braggart on this one.
        It’s taken me the better part of sixty years to piece this together.
        My next problem? Finding someone who Knows the math
        enough to convert this into a testable theory…

      as i see it. NO… not in service or “secret OP.”
      G.A.M. saw it, and ran with it.!
      up till now,. this has been a farce,

      Here’s my take on it:

      He is guilty of stolen valor. He knows it.
      He does NOT know that the operation he thought he
      made up but now believes was real was never real.
      He can never ask anyone either, as it’s “quote-unquote”
      a Top Secret Ultra operation.
      He believes he has a death sentence hanging over his
      head, though in truth he does not, since there were
      not the required number of (real) officers on the court
      martial panel.
      He will probably be falling all over himself to admit he
      never served, lest anyone even think it possible, and
      he risk someone claiming he claimed service and the
      “death sentence” become instantly enforceable.

        real officers were 3.. and for an old (pre 1920) field expedient courts-martial.
        all you needed was a Captain 0-6 or higher, so i think a OF-10 has that covered.
        and burden of proof, IE: someone records all that happens.

          Oh. I thought they needed three officers on the panel, and Jehan wasn’t.
          Cissy was US Navy, but not imperial military, and Yato was like Jehan,
          not military of any rank.

            It was all just a prank, with dark undertones to put Dumcan in
            the right mind set for the rest of his life. I still think a few years
            in the Legion might straighten him out, and maybe earn him some
            valor he can brag about, but if he sees the beast, I doubt he would.
            The Legion see it often, so Dumcan might actually become a man.

            3 officers, G.A.M.. Angel (reserve). Cecilia Ambrosia USN (0-1).
            yes, the board/panel can use foreign officers.
            modern board requires five officers.

              I thought they needed three officers ON the panel.
              I was not including Cissy since she was acting as the prosecutor,
              and Jehan is not military, past or present.

        He already tried to come clean, his “JAG officer” shot him down fast,
        flat out telling him it’s too late to lie his way out (AKA come clean)
        about it all. Clearly Missy did NOT want him to get a free pass, that
        he had to think he’s straight up dead if he ever tried this again. I
        loved the part of putting a stay on his execution because of the
        “trauma” he felt during the failed mission he was never on. Dumcan,
        trade in those fake cammos for a bib overalls and go work on a farm,
        use those muscles for good, I hear sheep are handy for some things

      I was wondering that as well, I seen footage of Florida,
      my father’s stressed about his sister again. PC might have
      gotten rain and some of the winds, knocking out his power
      for a time. I know the rain/winds have hit me here, we has
      a tree fall in the resting pasture, so I had to kill the power
      to it until the weather settles down. I am NOT messing
      with a hot fence in the rain and dark, so I closed them up
      in the main pasture where they have shelter.
      I’m too old for this shit…

      Hadn’t thought about the hurricane. I don’t really pay attention to them
      unless they come into the Gulf. I read something about a storm head-
      ing towards the east coast but only heard about it due to it impacting
      the launch of the next Crew Dragon launch to the ISS. Anybody heard
      from the Catman? Is he okay? It apparently doesn’t take much for him
      to lose power and internet.

      Also, what happened in Tennessee? JohnnyB was filming outside on
      his laptop for his regular “Spicy Friday”. Looked like flooding in his part
      of the state. We haven’t had so much as a drizzle here in South Texas.
      Not even when they had storms near SpaceX’s Starbase.

    TerEsa needs a set of Polish Hussar calvary wings.
    Very distinctive, and will send a message (an insult)
    to every muzzie who sees it.

      They are impressive, but if she’s using them to aid in cooling,
      she needs surface area for it to work well. which is why I
      brought up the idea of liquid cooling for the ‘droids. I’ve
      burned a finger on a stock CPU heat sink, but never on a
      liquid cooled one. (when my son failed to keep that tower
      clean that I rebuilt for him)

        Make the wings hollow, liquid filled,
        w/ small fins (like the early Thompson sub guns).
        May not be as much thermal exchange as the
        bat wings, but part of it is the slap-in-your-face
        symbolism of stopping the Ottomans from creating
        a Europe caliphate.

    I’m BAAAAAACK!
    We didn’t get a lot of rain, but those winds!
    Lost power and internet around 0100 Friday morning.
    My generator stuttered a few minutes ago, running out of fuel.
    I was in the shed, having shut it down, preparing to add more,
    when the lights came back on. The bright side is,
    I can store my gasoline generator with an empty fuel tank.
    My home is intact, no damage at all. None of my trees down.
    I was luckier than some. All roads out were blocked by fallen trees.
    Not that there was anywhere to go, anyway.
    But I’d just spent $400 on groceries so recently that some were
    still in my minivan. All my frozen and cold food came through
    intact because – generator!
    Now I just have to clean up a bunch of extension cords,
    put some books away,and other small stuff. Got a lot of reading done.
    By flashlight, mostly.
    And I can eat again! (I’m on a well, no power means no water,
    no toilet… No A/C, no shower, I’m ripe!
    I did have ten gallons of distilled water, so when I had the
    generator on, I had hot coffee. Thank you, Briggs and Stratton!
    I am so grateful that things weren’t much worse.
    Thank you all for your well-wishes and concern. And thanks, Rob,
    for the update for everyone.
    I hadn’t realized it was so bad for other people here.

        I found a NICE Briggs and Stratton inverter generator in a
        pawnshop for cheap. It was after a hurricane scare, and
        people were getting rid of the ones they’d panic-bought.
        Took it in for precautionary service, the dealer said it
        didn’t need it. Had less than an hour on it. After a panic
        is a good time to pick up survival supplies cheap.

            I’ll look around, most of the local shops gouge their prices like mad.
            we’ll need more than one as well, total we have 5 freezers and
            2 fridges thanks to the hundreds of pounds of beef we get from a
            steer. I’m more worried abut keeping both my wife and father’s oxy

              It depends on what you prioritize, all I could suggest is read the info
              sticker, all wattage use shown is in kw per hour, get the wattage
              rating on everything you want to run on the generator, add it up,
              and that’s the ideal wattage you’d need. my wife’s oxy machine uses
              468 watts, as does my fathers, so I have to at least have a 1200 to
              1500 generator. Always have a bit of wiggle room, anything you turn
              on (including women) have a surge you need to account for 😉

      might want to lay in a store of extra gas for the ginnie the next time
      there’s a storm approaching. Unfortunately gas goes bad after just
      a couple of months sitting in a can or fuel tank. Whenever I first get
      the mower out of the shed in the.spring I always have to drain the
      tank and carb and put in fresh fuel otherwise the thing flat out won’t
      start.

        There’s a product called “Stable” that greatly reduces the
        breakdown of gas, but also reduces the octane level. So
        come spring I add some octane boost to the tank and cans
        to counter that. Just a couple of cap-fulls does the trick.
        We use a lot of gas and diesel so it’s a trick I learned.

    Somehow I broke my monitor, I can still use it but it’s giving me a headache:

    I’ve ordered a replacement.
    Today’s update will be up on time,though.
