It works, try it. When it’s too hot under the covers, but too cold to uncover, just stick a foot out from under the covers, and you’ll be a lot more comfortable.
It really works! I just wrote about it in a thread asking for life lessons, and I offered this, and it sparked a huge discussion, with a lot of up votes.
For the record, those against the idea weren’t so much worried about a cold foot, they were far more concerned about monsters, and the occasional cat.

A sheet, a light blanket, a knitted afghan, and a heavy blanket, and that will hold in all the heat you need. The pockets in the knitted afghan trap your body heat really well, and the blankets hold it there. Works amazingly well.
It works so well, that sometimes I have to stick a foot out from under the covers to radiate excess body heat.

Sleep naked. It’s the only way. Except on cold nights.

What’s with that crude 2x4 protection assembly? You’re setting up a permanent camera fixture, and THAT’S what you use for protection? What’s it for, a junkyard? You couldn’t paint it, at least?
- Comment on Trigger warning - This Epstein stuff is making me sick... 1 day ago:
the reason why these people don’t want social programs is because they need poor, vulnerable kids to prey on. They managed to convince people to literally sacrifice their children, albeit quite indirectly.
Good observation. I just saw another comment that said they deliberately expose kids to violent content younger and younger, so they’ll grow up to be good fighting and occupying forces.
When AI/Robotics leads to a 50% unemployment rate (what do you think is the objective of the corporate giddiness of AI? They can’t wait to replace as many profit sucking employees as possible) the military is going to be one of the few income-producing employment paths left. Might as well start their “training” young, with lots of violent entertainment.
- Comment on YSK that murder is now legal in California. Fully legal. Slaughter a family of four by driving over the speed limit. Go home. 1 day ago:
Survivors of the slain family accused Lau of transferring her ownership interest in several properties to new limited liability companies and selling properties to third-parties, including her son-in-law, transferring millions of dollars to avoid potential financial penalties from the civil suit.
I was going along with her not going to prison, but this changed my mind. She’s not too broken up if she can still be motivated to hide her assets from her victims. And they aren’t even taking away her license or vehicle.
Lock her up. Let her die in prison.

That’s the one. Fascinating story.
- Comment on Trigger warning - This Epstein stuff is making me sick... 2 days ago:
This isn’t just about America, or MAGA, or even Trump. I always understood that this was an international enterprise, but as I read this stuff, I’m realizing that it was bigger and uglier than my worst imaginings.
I just read about a wealthy guy in a Detroit in the 70s who ran an Epstein-like operation on an island he purchased in one of the Great Lakes. He built a giant mansion on it, and started hosting underage sex parties for wealthy men. The article suggested that he might have been an inspiration for Epstein.
The point is that these people have always been here, and now that Epstein is gone, someone else will be taking his place. Nobody understands the scope of Epstein’s business better than his best friend Trump, who also recognizes how lucrative it is, and he is psychological incapable of resisting those riches.
He also has easy access to plenty of sex products. He has enormous detainment centers full or poorly documented children, separated from their families, lawyers, or anyone else who might care about them. They could be disappeared for a long time before someone notices, if ever. I’m sure we’ll find that the prettiest ones, of both sexes, are being scheduled for transfer…somewhere.
Putin has also kidnapped thousands of Ukrainian children, another source for East European girls, for those who aren’t turned on by brown children.
You can bet that someone is rebuilding an international child sex operation somewhere, and I’m betting that Trump is in on it.

- Comment on Dr. Oz pushes AI avatars as a fix for rural health care. Not so fast, critics say 2 days ago:
There is one endgame to EVERYTHING that MAGA is doing: Slavery.
They are going all in on AI/Robotics, and soon they are going to replace as many jobs as possible, creating a PERMANENT unemployment class of at least 40%, probably higher. Those who can’t pay their bills, run up a lot of credit, or need any sort of government assistance like food and shelter, and unemployment payments (essentially UBI), etc. will be put in the same normous ICE facilities they are building all over America, including a brand new 30,000 bed facility in Guantanamo Bay that they are building from the ground up. Opening is scheduled for 2029, so MAGA clearly expects to be around to utilize it.
And what will they do with all those poor people? Improve their lives by giving them a good work ethic. They don’t expect to get free money, that’s immoral, and that’s not how America works. For your own good, you will be leased out as slave labor under the 13th Amendment.
You love the Constitution don’t you? You think MAGA should abide by every word, don’t you? Well they are abiding by every letter of the 13th Amendment. If you want to question that, maybe we should look at some other Amendments like the 14th, that prohibits Insurrectionists from holding office, AND allows Birthright Citizenship. They love the 13th, but they really hate the 14th. Not big lovers of the 4th either.
So if you love and defend the Constitution, you’ll love and defend Slavery. And, of course, cheap slave labor will eventually take the last manual jobs that can’t be done by AI/Robotics, and contribute to an even higher unemployment rate. We will quickly reach a point where there are more slaves than available jobs, so what do we do with useless, hungry, reproducing people who are draining precious profits from MAGA profits?
I think we all know the answer, especially when you know that Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller has said that he wants to reduce the population from 335 million, to 100 million, about a 70% reduction. That psycho jerks off to Auschwitz photos, so you know what HIS plans are.
Arbeit Macht Frei!

In one 2011 email, Gelernter recommended an undergraduate student to Epstein for an editorial position in part because she was a “v[ery] small goodlooking blonde”.
Fucking psychopath. Not sorry Ted blew off his jerk-off hand.
- Comment on W for Uncle Ted 2 days ago:
In another post, I mentioned that he may have been correct all along, and the people he targeted had it coming, except for the innocent ones. Ted was a bit sloppy on that regard.
I got savagely downvoted.

They BADLY want to be able to monitor our every communication, because an authoritarian government that sees North Korea as a prime example, needs to be able to clamp down hard on any notion of dissent.
And we will have huge work camps all over America to send seditious traitors to, to be leased out as slaves to corporations, under the 13th Amendment. You love your precious Constitution, don’t you? You expect MAGA to abide by every word, don’t you? Well then you better love the 13th Amendment, too.

- Comment on In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud 2 days ago:
Some of it is genetic, but a lot of it is years of training in hearing and teasing out all the frequencies.
I spent years in the audiophile record business back in the transition days from analogue LPs to digital CDs, and spent a LOT of time with beyond top-of-the-line audio gear, including high end stuff that wasn’t even on the consumer market.
My ears got trained from many years in bands and orchestras, then recording sessions, then hearing the final recordings on CD, as well as thousands of other recordings, and many live performances by some of the greatest orchestras in the world. I know what it is supposed to sound like at every stage of the process.
Bottom line, cables aren’t going to be a major issue. Guarantee you’ve got at least 10 other variables making a bigger difference, and most of them can’t even be fixed.
- Comment on In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud 2 days ago:
Even more than the actual contact with the media, the entire system breaks down at the ears. If your ears aren’t well-trained, then you don’t even know what to listen for. You might think loud bass is good, or booming drums, and never notice that you can’t hear any mids.
So in a blind test like this, some people just might prefer a sound that this experiment has little impact on, so they wouldn’t be able to notice any differences.
A well-trained ear might be able to detect differences between them, but still not have a real preference. Besides being able to hear all the different frequencies, you have to know what the instruments sound like in real life to know if those frequencies are reproducing accurately. Again, if you don’t what it’s supposed to sound like, you really don’t know if ANY change in components makes a positive or negative difference in the natural sound, you only know the difference relative to your personal preference.
TL;DR: This “experiment” doesn’t prove anything. It’s just funny.
