Basically, all legal free speech is allowed. We will assist the authorities in dealing with illegal speech. You are each other’s moderators. Have fun. And don’t forget to MAGA at nuclear levels.
After going through the elements, we now enjoy a sequence of RANDOM somewhat pseudo-random topics that will be thrown out for investigation and commentary on each open thread. At some point, in a way something like composite numbers, I will accidentally hit a second occurrence of one of them – that’s just normal.
Have fun!

Day 138 – The Numerology of “23”
The U Tree 
Before we get to (glances upward) the numerology of 23, there is an update from a while back. SCIENTISTS have discovered that you are far more likely to be gay if you have an older brother [ https://hotair.com/headlines/archives/2020/03/study-men-older-brothers-likely-gay/ ]. I’m sure there are bunch of folks in their ’50’s who are going — “wait, what?!?!?”
It seems, however, to be more of an influence than something more definitive, like owning a weed-wacker [ https://utree.home.blog/2020/02/26/open-thread-20200226/#comment-5198 ].

For your weird 23 pleasure — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/23_(number) . Also https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0481369/plotsummary?ref_=tt_stry_pl . And, of course, the number is sacred to Eris, the goddess of discord.

On the cthulhu chaotic computer front, I have proven that the grub that is executing on system boot is the one on “A” — the new 1T SSD…..and that it is loading the system from “B” — the old 1/2T spinning rust.
Now that I know this for sure, I can start fixing things, but a lot of things are annoying. For instance, grub uses a file “/boot/grub/grub.cfg” when it launches. You’re not supposed to touch this file, because the utility “grub-mkconfig” will overwrite it using a recipe it concocts from /etc/default/grub and all the files in the directory /etc/grub.d . Further, you can skip a bunch of the “where am I, why am I here?” messages if you use “update-grub” to find all the bootable images.
The problem is that both update-grub and grub-mkconfig default to the currently booted filesystem. When I boot off of A and get B, A isn’t even linked.
Still, good progress for a Sunday.
I’ll be selecting musical interludes in this deaf browser and previewing them in the Fiancee’s Apple tablet.

Two best friends graduated from medical school at the same time. They decided that in spite of their two different specialties, they would open a practice together to share office space and personnel.
Dr. Smith was a psychiatrist and Dr. Jones was a proctologist; they put up a sign reading: Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones: Hysterias and Posteriors. The town council was livid and insisted they change it.
The docs changed it to read: Schizoids and Hemorrhoids. This was also not acceptable so they again changed the sign to read Catatonics and High Colonics – no go. Next they tried Manic Depressives and Anal Retentives – thumbs down again.
They came up with Queers and Rears. That didn’t satisfy the town council either.
Then came Minds and Behinds – still no good. Another attempt resulted in Lost Souls and Butt Holes – unacceptable again! So they tried Nuts and Butts – no way. Freaks and Cheeks – still no good. Loons and Moons – forget it. Almost at their wit’s end, the docs finally came up with:
Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones – Specializing in Odds and Ends.

In a train compartment a young couple and an elderly, somewhat ragged man were sitting.
The girl looks like she’s having some discomfort so her boyfriend asks her, “What’s wrong honey?”
She replies. “My head hurts.”
Her boyfriend kisses her forehead, and asks her, “Is it better now?”
“Yes,” she says.
Then he asks, “Does it hurt somewhere else?”
“Here,” she replies, pointing to her lips. So the boyfriend kisses her lips.
“Is it better now?”
“Much better.”
“Anywhere else?”
She replies by pointing to her neck. So the boyfriend kisses her neck.
Annoyed at the pitiful public display, the elderly man asks the young man, “Excuse me, do you do hemorrhoids?”

A beautiful young woman goes to the doctor’s office
The nurse puts her in an exam room, and asks her to remove her clothes. When the doctor arrives, he is dumbstruck by how pretty she is, and he can’t maintain his professionalism.
He starts to feel her breasts, and says to her, “Do you know what I’m doing?” She replies, “Checking for breast lumps that may be cancerous.”
He then asks her to turn over on the table and starts rubbing her ass, and spreading her butt cheeks apart. He says, “Do you know what I’m doing now?” She replies, “Checking for abnormalities and hemorrhoids.”
Finally he removes his pants, slides his cock in her pussy, and slowly starts to fuck her. He says, “Do you know what I’m doing now?”
She replies, “Getting herpes. That’s why I’m here.”
