    Does anybody else remember #KYAG drills at school? In case the #USSR launched a nuclear attack, we were to get under our desks with our heads between our knees.

    You know the rest: ... and kiss your ass goodbye (KYAG).

    > The alert level at Kick ‘em Jenny remains at YELLOW. A YELLOW alert at the Kick ‘em Jenny volcano means that the volcano is restless: seismicity and/or fumarolic activity are above the historical level or other unusual activity has been observed or can be expected without warning.

    Kick 'em Jenny, an undersea volcano in the Caribbean, is said to be seismically active again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kick_%27em_Jenny [en wikipedia org] The volcano sits about 5 miles off the coast of the island of Grenada

    https://nowgrenada.com/2024/02/increased-seismic-activity-at-kick-em-jenny-submarine-volcano/ [nowgrenada com]

    Current alert level is "yellow". I assume this just means "check the news daily in case it decides to become more active" rather than "grab your stuff and go".

    1. Kick 'em Jenny
      Kick 'em Jenny (also: Kick-'em-Jenny or Mt. Kick-'Em-Jenny) is an active submarine volcano or seamount on the Caribbean Sea floor, located 8 km (5 mi) north of the island of Grenada and about 8 km (5 mi) west of Ronde Island in the Grenadines. Kick-'em-Jenny rises 1,300 m (4,265 ft) above the sea floor on the steep inner western slope of the Lesser Antilles ridge. The South American tectonic plate is subducting the Caribbean tectonic plate to the east of this ridge and under the Lesser Antilles island arc. Etymology The volcano was unknown before 1939, although "Kick 'em Jenny" appeared on earlier maps as either the name of a small island now called Diamond Rock (or Île Diamante), or the name of the strait between Grenada and Ronde Island (or Île de Ronde). The name itself may be a reference to the waters sometimes being extremely rough. Activity The first record of the volcano was in 1939, although it must have erupted many times before that date. On 23–24 July 1939 an eruption broke the sea surface, sending a cloud of steam and debris 275 m (902 ft) into the air and generating...

    > It is, in fact, normal for you to just want to lay around not producing anything.

    For brief periods, yes. Over longer periods of time, no. That's neither normal nor mentally healthy. From the beginning of humanity, people (all of them) had to labor in some capacity in order for themselves and their loved ones to survive. The need to produce is built into us.

    That's not to say that we wouldn't benefit from saying "we can take care of everyone's needs on four hours of labor per day, so that's going to be our new standard" or something similar.

    For the past couple of months, I've been getting multiple phishing spams each day claiming to be from the service, telling me to click the link or my e-mail service will be cancelled. You'd think by now that their spam-blocker would have noticed how many reported messages purport to be from the service itself, but thus far it hasn't.

    I think I've said it before, but if I haven't, it is my belief that some time in the future, people will look back and say that World War III started in the 2008-2014 time frame. That is, some of the armed conflicts from that time and this time will eventually unite with other conflicts into what will become known as WW3.

    That is, WW3 is already going on, and neither Neville Chamberlain style appeasement nor "we're just going to focus on things within our own borders" will prevent the war from coming to all or nearly all of Europe and North America. (And likely, East Asia.)

    Traitors like #Trump and #Tucker_Carlson who are willing to sell out everyone else's freedom in order to appease #Putin are just going to cost us lots of unnecessary deaths.

    And as #Ukraine can attest, death during a time of war doesn't confine itself to military personnel fighting on a battlefield. #Russia can lob the same missiles that it is using to kill civilians in Kyiv at London or New York or Paris or Toronto ... and they will.

    Basically, #Trump said that if any #NATO ally isn't spending its designated 2% on its military, he'll invite #Putin to invade and enslave that country.

    One day, the survivors will look back at Trump's speech in 2024-FEB and will allocated an estimated number of deaths to his encouragement of Putin's dream of building a new #USSR and ensuring that it rules the world.

    So they've got a unique format for the overtime. Each team gets the ball for one series of plays to attempt to score.

    San Francisco 49ers scored a 3 point field goal, then Kansas City Chiefs had their turn and scored a 6 point touchdown. Final score: SF 22, KC 25.

    I was discussing KISS and learned that they disbanded not long ago.

    I remember that Jonathan and Kelvin (whom I knew from school) had gone to a concert and became so obsessed that that's almost all they could talk about. Thereafter, I was already predisposed to like their songs.

    I never went to a concert, and I pretty much stopped hearing their music after about 1980, except an occasional "Calling Dr Love" or "Rock and Roll All Night" played on the radio.
