The Extinction Rebellion people have the solution right in the palm of their hand, but they refuse to take it. Instead, they want to annoy, harass, and bore other people into doing what they demand. Bah. Bring on the penis-mollusks.

Hank Azaria will reportedly no longer voice Apu on The Simpsons
Since comic Hari Kondabolu interrogated the stereotypical characterization of The Simpsons’ Apu Nahasapeemapetilon in a 2017 documentary, fans of the show have debated whether it’s worth it to keep the Kwik-E-Mart owner around. The show itself even made an episode that directly addressed the controversy, though it wasn’t received well by critics. While Hank Azaria, who voices the South Asian character, has been amenable to discussions around recasting Apu, the creators of the show have been less so. But, last we heard, there were rumors that producers were planning to axe the character entirely to “avoid the controversy.”
Whether that happens is still unclear, but Azaria himself confirmed to /Film at a TCA panel for IFC’s Brockmire that he will no longer be voicing Apu. “All we know there is I won’t be doing the voice anymore, unless there’s some way to transition it or something,” Azaria said.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_(cocktail)
It was invented in Calgary, Alberta, in 1969 by restaurateur Walter Chell to celebrate the opening of a new Italian restaurant in the city. It quickly became a popular mixed drink within Canada where over 350 million Caesars are consumed annually and it has inspired numerous variants.
Huh. Calgary’s been an interesting city for food creations/experiments (contra some of the food snobs I’ve talked to on-line from Central Canada who think Canada’s flyover country is just a vast culinary wasteland). Ginger Beef, a Szechaun-inspired dish, was also created in Calgary, and it may be one of my favourite faux Chinese dishes ever (and it’s right up there with the authentic stuff, too!).
Wait, 350 million a year? I call bullshit on that. That’s 10 per year for every man, woman, and child.
I have 10 in one night, then none for about 5 years. And I like them.

Repent. The end is nigh!
A federal appeals court on Friday threw out a heavily promoted but long-shot lawsuit by a group of children and teenagers trying to force the federal government to take action to address the climate crisis.
The 2-1 ruling says the children must look to the political branches — Congress and the executive branch — for action, rather than the courts.
Action in Washington, however, has gone the other way, with the Trump administration pulling out of the Paris climate accord and looking to rewrite Obama-era environmental laws limiting greenhouse gas emissions responsible for the increase in global temperatures and associated effects of climate change.
——-
In her stinging dissent, Staton said the government is blatantly ignoring the climate crisis.
“In these proceedings, the government accepts as fact that the United States has reached a tipping point crying out for a concerted response — yet presses ahead toward calamity. It is as if an asteroid were barreling toward Earth and the government decided to shut down our only defenses,” Staton wrote. “Seeking to quash this suit, the government bluntly insists that it has the absolute and unreviewable power to destroy the Nation.”
Will no one save us?
Cthulhu will.
Dear press outlets,
Please stop using the phrase “climate crisis” while expecting to be considered credible.
Thank you.
They gave up any attempt at credibility years ago. They’re just trying to consolidate the Leftist Cult audience at this point.
It’s frightening isn’t it?
There literally is no crisis. They are entirely panicking on the basis of shamans telling them that if they don’t slaughter their cattle, the sky-goddess will be angry and will cook them.
And we’re the cattle.
“…government bluntly insists that it has the absolute and unreviewable power to destroy the Nation.”
Wait, isn’t that what the proggies want?
Right? Shouldn’t all the Howard Zinn acolytes and grievance studies majors be in favor of this?
And what she doesn’t understand (sad, for a judge), is that by giving the govt the power to save the nation, she’d also be granting it the power she’s decrying in the quote.
People wouldn’t be as interested in the “possible climate phenomenon of debatable importance”.
“greenhouse gas emissions responsible for the increase in global temperatures and associated effects of climate change.”
Uh…no.
CO2 is most likely not a driver of climate.
Global temperature is changing at a statistically normal rate.
Fuck the people using these kids. Fuck them with barbed wire. You aren’t going to get your commie bullshit without a fight.
“The show itself even made an episode that directly addressed the controversy, though it wasn’t received well by critics.”
Nevermind what the consumers of the show thought of it.
Mrs TOK and I have recently started to watch Big Bang Theory. I don’t see how Apu is any more racist than Raj.
You should stop right now.
We’re like 7 seasons in and we still like it.
I’ll watch it once in a while if there’s nothing else on. (I like background noise.)
I know it’s crap but it’s occasionally well-written crap. Plus it gets better the more chicks they add. Except that bitch the Indian guy was dating for a while.
Mr. Mojeaux wasn’t into it at all. He didn’t understand the humor.
Then Sheldon came on and he liked that. Once I told him it was the prequel of BBT, he started watching BBT. I liked it. I hadn’t seen it up to then.
I haven’t seen one episode of How I Met Your Mother or Friends. I’ve seen maybe 5 episodes of Seinfeld and that’s because the TV happened to be on after the news was over.
Sheldon is by a wide margin my least favorite character on that show. So of course they gave him a prequel.
There’s nothing I hate more than precocious child characters.
Whatchyou talking about Willis?
Worse, we know how he turns out, so there’s no character growth or dramatic arc.
The thing I pointed out to someone is that there’s a major disconnect between the two shows. If Young Sheldon had happened, then the character on Big Bang would have been a very different person. There’s emotional growth and life lessons you see given to the boy that you have to assume he somehow forgot when the original series came on.
so there’s no character growth or dramatic arc.
That’s just it. There is. At least some. Because there is, it’s a disconnect with the original show.
Granted.
I understood the humor. I just didn’t like it. It’s like Frazier, only more mean-spirited. I never made it through an entire episode.
Plus it gets better the more chicks they add.
You’re dead to me. ☠️
Seriously though, I think it peaked in season 3 or 4, and was a long slow decline from there. When they turned Amy from a she-Sheldon to a pathetic loser, made Howard into the stereotypical idiot dad, made Stuart a regular character, turned Raj into a caricature of a metrosexual, and turned Sheldon from misanthropic autist into lovable cynic, it stopped being funny.
Tl;dr: their character development sucked after season 5 or so.
OK, I haven’t put THAT much thought into it.
Trashy gets it. After starting out as a friendship amongst outcasts story with a cute girl and moderately better writing than say, Two and a Half Men, it devolved into a cookie cutter relationship sitcom. I gave up on it around seasons six or seven.
The first season was like 15 years ago before the SJW Taliban came to power.
Well, if Hank and the wokesters who clearly run The Simpsons now really cared they’d stop voicing a bunch of characters.
Quimby: Irish.
Luigi the Chef/Fat Tony and other mobsters: Italian.
Señor Bumble Bee: Mexican.
Willy: Scottish.
Skinner: Union.
Barney: Fat shaming/drunks.
Krusty: Jews.
Side Show Bob: Englishmen.
Ned/Lovejoy: Christians (ha, ha. Don’t count).
Lennie and Carl: The Low IQ.
Smithers: Gays.
The only characters who are fair game in the zeitgeist was Homer, Cletus and Mr. Burns.
The whole show is based on stereotypes.
It’s almost like a common component of “humor” or something.
Which makes this move so lame.

More than eight in 10 African Americans believe President Donald Trump is racist and that he has contributed to making racism a bigger problem in the United States, according to a new Washington Post-Ipsos poll.
The survey, released Friday, also finds that nine in 10 black Americans say they disapprove of Trump’s job performance.
A majority, 58%, say Trump’s actions as president are “very” bad for African Americans in the nation.
I’m convinced.
Considering that winning 10% of the black vote would be a coup, how is this a bad thing?
I call bullshit, leading questions, etc.

The best way to address Apu is to axe the Simpsons. The first ten years were some of the best television ever made and the last 20 some odd have been some of the worst.
I’d say the first five were the best and the next three were solid. Something like that. Ten seems to stretch it for me.
And yes. Just put a bullet in its head already. Once you go broke you go flat….and broke.
go woke.
Yeah, that’s a stretch for me too but I’m feeling charitable. It was after the tenth season, though, that things really started going in the toilet.
For me, one of the biggest signs of decline was the constant celebrity guests. Earlier
Shit, not really sure how this comment happened…
For me, one of the biggest signs of decline was the constant celebrity guests. Classic Simpsons had maybe one or two celebrities per season, and they were well incorporated into the story. They did not take center stage in the comedy. But the last time I watched the Simpsons (around 2005-06) it seems like they had someone like 50 Cent or Sarah Michelle Gellar every single week, and there was little of the comedic “meat” that made the classic Simpsons good – it was just a cameo of the week with some weak attempts at humor.
That’s a very common “jump the shark”.
I liked it in 1990, 1991 thereabouts, that and In Living Color, but that was when I had time to watch TV. I missed a lot of TV in the 90s that people hail as classics. I was too busy working and going to school.
Sounds like someone could use a 1990s retro-party.

I give your comment “two snaps in a circle.”
Yeah, that show jumped the shark long, long ago. I think if it were as good as it was back in the day, or as highly-regarded, this Apu cancel shit wouldn’t have worked. The reason they’re caving now is because nobody gives a shit. This will buy them a few more years of pseudo-relevance and then people will stop forgetting to turn the TV off after football. Or just wait the half hour until Bob’s Burgers comes on.
Meanwhile that virtue signalling stain is forever.

Yeah, I find myself in the past an awful lot, too.
Most of the new music I’ve been listening to is very different from the pop/punk I normally dig. Lots of Americana/folk or whatever the fuck you call it. And lots from MN.

Trampled by Turtles are awesome. I have developed taste for Americana/folk over the past several years, as well.

Wendy’s > Burger King
https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/burger-king-tries-to-troll-wendys-doesnt-work
Wendy’s burgers are consistently more juicy than the other national chains.
And they don’t cut corners!!!
There is something wrong with their pickles that ruin the entire thing, however.
To me, Harry and Meghan seem like white trash with money.
I did transcription for a doctor once who was loaded. Their kids had issues and he would kick their bedroom doors in. He kept spare doors in his garage to replace every time he kicked one in.
Loaded. Kicking doors in.
Loaded. Going to bat for Burger King.
Sounds like he was loaded in more ways than one.
I doubt it. He has an awful temper.
Well that’s the issue, isn’t it? The thing the royals are supposed to do isn’t “be rich”, it’s “have class”. They’re supposed to be the living room furniture of Britain; unused, a little old-fashioned, but obviously expensive and much nicer than the comfy couch in the family room that everyone actually sits on. They weren’t willing to do that part, so now they’re just a couple of idle, wealthy, kind of tacky tourists.
Yeah, exactly.
Even old wealth isn’t as classy as QEII & Co.
When Harry was single, he did what he wanted because he was the spare and that is what a royal spare is expected to do–party. He also did his royal turn in the military which is expected of nobility (er, it used to be), but mandatory for royals. So he’s doing what the royal spare should be doing.
But then he marries this…PERSON. I can’t exactly put my finger on it. It’s not like her American-ness is the problem. It’s HER.
She’s a leftist. That is the problem.
Leftists transcend countries, I suppose.
They’re the same everywhere.
Meghan fucked up Harry, Jemele Hill fucked up Kaepernick. It’s always the chicks fault.
They must have some magical juju in their hoo-hoo.
You all do. Evil bitches. 😛
*carefully sticks pins in a potato*
Ow!
She doesn’t understand that the royals are mostly supposed to be anti-celebrities not uber-celebrities They’re fixtures, who are born into a role that’s supposed to belong to even the normal folk of the country. He’s been the spare forever, and now he’s like the 3rd-string spare.
Well, if you’ve read British history, the royals have never been classy. Actually, all of Europe, they aren’t classy. Henry the 8th, what’s his name and Wallis Simpson, Charles and Camilla. They’ve always been guests on Jerry Springer. The problem with Harry and Megan is that they are decidedly middle-class in behavior and outlook.
That’s a fair point, but in the 19th century on, once royalty doesn’t actually do anything, the ideal is that they’re supposed to embody the gravitas of the nation in some fashion. The examples in the modern era were scandals *because* they violated the expectation.
I hope Wendy’s pays their social media people well, because they are pretty damn good.
They’ve always had a strong Twitter game.

Christ, what an asshole.
What a utilitarian!
Sorry– just repeated you, Tundra.

If so, I feel rather bad for the guy. CJ is far from the worst over there.
We have Senate districts. They’re called states.
And I don’t hear anyone calling to reapportion California so the Republicans can get a Senate seat once in a while.
This is an actual proposal for disenfranchisement of wrongthinkers.

Unless he actually said that, it’s a bullshit headline.
More to the point, the Daily Fail appears to be ignoring the UK’s own dismal contributions to school lunches, which were so bad that JAMIE FUCKING OLIVER did an entire show series about them (including what looked like an ultimately failed attempt to improve them, foundering [as usual] on the problem of cost . . .).
We could follow Germany’s lead and send kids home at 1PM for Mittagessen. Just offer a cart with pretzels and milk or juice for the morning break.
You’re welcome, America.
That defeats the purpose of schools serving as free day cares and places for the poors to send their kids to be fed.
They don’t even have after-school activities!
I guess it just feels better for them knowing that kid’s plates have *healthy* food, which they in turn dump in the trash uneaten.
Why do you hate the children?

A tad overkill, if you ask me (although when I lived in the Lower Mainland, I was considering one for the house because of all the damn blackouts they get there).
Hamsters, the answer is Hamsters….
Come on. Are we not Glibs? The answer is orphans on a treadmill.

Rob Manfred to step down/be fired/”reach an agreement” to step down as commissioner before ST. I’m calling it. I want someone to give me good odds on that. I’ve called every major development in the disAstros scandal thus far, and I wasn’t even aware of that “Beltran’s niece” whistleblower twit account until today. Bur Selig will be forever the “nothing to see here, move along” guy on the HGH and steroids era, and we’re notlw in very different times. Heads will roll. This happened on Manfred’s watch and if there is even the slightest appearance of him having sat on this then he gone. I felt kinda sorry for him having to deal with Mayor Smug little prick to get the London Series. Anyway, the Astros cheating is far, far worse than any of the PED cheating, IMO, and as a fan of a team that plays them 19 times in a season, I can’t even ashdoeoebdhdigdoydoydphdphdhhpioftwdhgk
I always knew there was something shady about Altuve. Crying in Hinch’s office when he didn’t do good. Poor little Nick Nack. So innocent and pure.
“Oooh ju don know the presshor I woss onderrrr! If I no good play beisbol I have to go back to my conntryy. No es bueno! Very bad, si? I an sorry to heysus and mia familia an mossly to de Astross fans I an so sorry.”
Apparently Reddick and Bregman were into the next level shoulder buzzer cheating shenanigans, too, but above all, with no mention, or evidence as yet, I suspect George Springer of being in on this, too. Dude knew what pitch was coming so many times. I’m cynical about all this, but I still genuinely believe most players and organizations are out there to compete honestly. It still means something to them beyond a fat paycheck.
My beyond cynical commie soccer fan friend doesn’t follow baseball but is convinced, after what little he knows about Barry Bonds, that MLB is all cheating all the time and I so don’t want that to be the case. To ruttin’ heck with all of the lying, cheating scumbags.
The pipes, the pipes are calling.
LOL that was exactly what I thought.
Of course, that was played at my dad’s funeral.
I thought at first he was referencing this
I cannot find a decent baritone rendition of that except for Johnny Cash, whose voice I cannot stand.
No, I don’t want soprano. No, I don’t want falsetto. No, I don’t want tenor. No, I don’t want Johnny Cash.
It’s like I can’t find a good baritone/base version of O Holy Night.
Bah.
Jim Nabors? He had a marvelous deep singing voice. It’d be an older recording, but could well have been re-issued, maybe even remastered.
“for Johnny Cash, whose voice I cannot stand.”
I feel sorry for you. ; )
I know, I know. I’m the only Glib non-fan. I’m surprised I haven’t gotten the banhammer for that.
Ahem. Please look at the feature image on the glibs main page.
Heresy! Who does this?!
No one, I guess. 🙁
And it’s a site-runners inside joke anyway. Double fail.
I, for one, always check out the main page image, I also click on every one of HM’s links so there’s that.
*gives Hyp the side-eye*
What? too brown-nosy?
HM is the one who eats ass. You just stick your nose in it?
The difference between ass-kissing and brown-nosing?
Depth perception.

I’m reading to Horowitz FISA report. Apparently one part of the Steele dossier said Carter Page was offered a 19% stake in Rosneft valued at about $10 billion if he helped overturn sanctions on Russia. And apparently none of the super smart investigators at the FBI said, “Hold on. $10 billion? That’s total bullshit.” Heck, Hunter only got a measly $1 million.
You are assuming that the investigators at the FBI actually cared about investigating anything or the accuracy of any of the information they were using to justify they’re surveillance.
Yup. Protectors of The Establishment become Protectors of The Democrats when the Rs nominate and and win the presidency with an establishment-unapproved candidate. Or rather, an ostensibly anti-establishment candidate who wasn’t supposed to win. This wasn’t supposed to happen! We are untouchable! Undo the doing by any means necessary!

I like how the cops let his bike and bag get stolen.
The female cop is useless throughout the entire situation.
Misogynist. She was absolutely equal to her partner.
I was embarrassed for her.
I had to jump in and help a female cop once. The guy was 6′ 3″, and she was about 5′ 6″.
Would?
Oh hell yeah. The cop, that is.
WTF.
I wonder where that is. Ain’t Chicago.
Albuquerque.
Cops lucky dude didn’t grab his gun while they were wrasslin’
There’s a level restraint in most people even when wrestling with a cop just due to the fact that it is a cop.
In honor of the USMCA, I made a poutine burrito for dinner tonight. It was yummy.
What is wrong with you?
I’m out of fries and have leftover gravy.

“Ladies and gentlemen—and ahem, others—the author of the science fiction story “I Sexually Identify As An Attack Helicopter” has been canceled by the always offended.”

Oh ffs I clicked on some smarmy lefty shitbag and then saw his tweets and what he had retweeted and realized again the complete ignorance from which such smugness emanates. Not even remotely interested in understanding anything, just smirking and offering up some snarky jibe about “pro-lifers”, or “conservative snowflakes” etc. I’ve met these people in real life. Totally entitled, willfully ignorant, arrogant, absolutely convinced of the superiority of their worldview, and their ridiculous notion of what those deplorables and Republicans, etc are like. Smarmy, hateful pieces of shit. Adults, somehow. Anyway this one in particular called Rico a “mincing conservative snowflake”.
I saw this about Hilary:

So weird how people who absolutely hate this woman and who have spent literally decades spreading lies and conspiracy theories about her, can’t — even with the full might of the Trump government behind them — find one single actionable thing she actually did wrong.”
We live in parallel universes.
His is not wrong. Nothing she did wrong is actionable because every witness is so distraught at the idea that they suicide.
#arkancide is real
Oh yeah I saw that. Incredible.
I’m not gonna read that but how was he forced to retract a story that’s already been written and published as SugarFree just linked to?
The author got negative feedback and couldn’t take it so asked for the work to be removed. The snowflakes out there seem to think that the thin skin of a creator is a defense against bad reviews. Grow a pair and man/woman up.
Not exactly.
The author (and the story) is very pro- “gender is a social construct.” They were apparently unaware that “I sexually identify as an attack helicopter” is a meme used to mock transfolk.
All I know is what I gleaned from a cursory skimming of the linked article so I may have gotten some of the nuance wrong, however in the spirit of the inter-tubes I will steadfastly stand by my initial take and defend it wholeheartedly.
Thus you are a liar Not Adahn!
Robby appears to have grown a hair-horn.

Christ, what an asshole.

Silly, stupid, useless cunte.
On behalf of everyone who ever worked a retail job, I wish nothing but pain and suffering on him for the rest of his days.
And may God have mercy on his soul.
He’s an award winning multimedia journalist but hasn’t been able to afford to go to the dentist in three years? I smell horseshit.
I second your wishing of “pain and suffering ” on him.
And unless he’s representing himself he’ll need to afford a lawyer.
To be fair, though, a face that punchable must need serious dental work.
LOL Playa got in on that one.

Vindictive POS. If that lady gets canned because of this (I don’t think she will) I hope there’s a successful crowdfunding campaign to sort her out with a great big boot with which to kick him up the arse.

If there’d been even a slight PC angle, I bet she would be.
“I’m gay, and they wouldn’t sell me a $0.01 toothbrush!”
I’m not sure just plain old gay has enough intersectionally-derived political capital anymore, but you make a valid point, sadly.
“Gay”
Male? check
White? check
Cancels out gay.
Gay men are the white men of LGBTQ.
I’m imagining a store (kind of like the ChiComm social credit thing) were the currency is intersectionality, and they have a sign up at the checkout that says “WE DON’T TAKE CHECKS OR GAY”.
This is the kinda asshole who probably thinks he deserves to keep the money if payroll fucks up and adds an extra zero to his check.
What an entitled twat. At least most of the commenters are taking him to task for it.
What a little bitch.
Dat ratio doe.
Fucken piece of shit coward.
”Award winning multi-media journalist’.
Go fuck yourself asshole.
‘They need to be accountable’.
No you need to be held accountable for potentially ruining that girl Jerk off.
I wouldn’t mind ruining her.
I feel confident that I know, within a pretty narrow window, what the police told this demented shitheel, and his reporting of it is about as fucked as his overall premise.
“This is a civil matter, sir–not a criminal matter. If you aren’t happy with the manager’s answer, you’ll have to take them to court. You can request a copy of the CAD call-for-service sheet if you need documentation.” Not the same as, “You can sue them for not honoring the tag”, and, “I’ll write up a report for you to use in court.”
He’s not only an insincere fuckstick, he’s apparently functionally retarded.
Is he related to Mike Hihn?
BULLY!
Btw lads, he’s just a troll.
Hundreds of #ExtinctionRebellion protesters have buried their heads in the sand at Inverloch beach
Could they suffocate while they’re at it? Please?
It would be for Gaia after all.
They could misjudge the tides and get stranded, perhaps, and then washed out to sea. How terrible would that be? High tide = rising sea levels = climate change = stunning and brave activists killed on the front lines fighting literal battle against climate change!
Didn’t the Dutch win that battle?
They did indeed. Dykes on the frontlines. No messing around.
The Bangladeshis, generally speaking, seem to have tried and failed spectacularly, but can retroactively blame it on climate change.
Well the Dutch are purportedly the largest people in the world so it stands to reason that the girls would be pretty big too.
I did a big laugh. Thank you.
I remember the Netherlands being a surreal experience when I was younger. Smoking weed on the street while cops walked by and didn’t even look up. Really good stuff from the dispensary, none of this “medicinal” pretense crap.
Truly such heroism wouldn’t have been seen since Achilles fought the river god.
Ain’t no goddesses to save their asses this time, unless Saint Greta has heretofore unseen powers equal to or greater than Gaia.
this is what Technology has enabled, People with plenty of extra time and money, well fed, pull this shit,
in another time or place, they would starve…
It appears they’re complaining about beach erosion. If they just stay put like that forever it should act to anchor some of the sand in place.
Crab feast.
Mojeaux, I trust you recall the unicorn mug I linked here a few days ago? I’m delighted to report that I am now the proud owner of that very mug (or, more likely, one that looks just like it/pedant,) courtesy of Mr. GT. THAT’S twue wuv!
Awwwwwwwwwwwww how sweet!
Mr. Mojeaux got me something I randomly mentioned in passing and I love so, so much. (A phone charger plug for my car that has bluetooth FM broadcasting so I can listen to the music on my phone on my car speakers.)
Wow. First glass of the Rittenhouse rye bottled-in-bond since I reviewed it. This stuff is fantastic.
It’s a good dram. Pick yourself up a bottle of Larceny bourbon. Same price range as the Rittenhouse.
Will do. I need a fourth to fill out the next review panel.
I picked up a bottle and I hadn’t as yet cracked it open. I think I’ll join you.
My bottle of Rittenhouse is almost empty. ?
Hundreds of #ExtinctionRebellion protesters have buried their heads in the sand . . .
Now if only someone would come along and fill in the holes.
Hey BEAM! How’s this lovely weather treating you? It’s a balmy 22 American below here today. Wednesday morning it was 48 below. Our house was creaking and cracking and groaning…
Jeebus. I guess I won’t complain about 28 above then.
It’s over 20? Frickin’ UHI effect.
Yeah, that plus an ocean.
When you pull out of the driveway the tires have a noticeable flat spot for the first few blocks. k-thump k-thump k-thump. It rarely get THAT cold here and it’s supposed to reach the freezing point in the next week.
Fuck that. it gets to 35 degrees in the desert, too cold,
FUCK THAT!
and Tall Cans!
I love weather in the 30s and 20s. So refreshing
Hey Bob! No tall cans for me. I’m just a Codeine Cowboy for the next few days.
Careful, or you’ll turn into a Heroin addict! YAAAAAGHH!
Not. I did have to gobble a few down this morning after I lifted something that I shouldn’t ought to have. Kuato’s Revenge.
Festus, don’t be pulling muscleman on us, no need. I’ve had a couple of the repair jobs and even months afterwards I can feel a mistake of lifting more than I should. It’ll take a long period of healing to repair the tissue cutting.
A tall can probably wouldn’t be too heavy, after you get over the intense pain.
Warmed up to a balmy -22° Celsius here today — so warm that the pup actually went outside without boots briefly to do her business. Other than the old-fashioned wood casement windows being rimed with ice, the new-to-us house is a trooper, and the actually-new ultra-high-efficiency furnace is doing its job admirably. S’posed to go up to -13 on Sunday and zero on Monday, so that’s exciting. I won’t even need the “Prairie swimsuit” then!

I’m now starting to get more worried about The Watch. Cheery is a dwarf, that’s what makes the character land. Lady Ramkin isn’t supposed to be the only noble (and when the fuck did she become a vigilante?). Where did the electricity come from?
Yeah, the casting is just all over way wrong. Bleah.
GunGlibs:
I just picked up a police trade in Colt Official Police. It’s in remarkably good condition, however the grips are awful. Should I replace with Pachmayr or Hogue?
They are both good options. I’ve got Hogue on two of my pistols, but my favorite 1911 had Pachmayrs.
Yeah. That’s gonna fall under personal preference.
Ditto. I’ve got Hogue on my .357 and custom G10 on my 1911s.
This guy has the glibs logo as an option:

Is there an updated bracket? I looked at the Imgur you linked a while ago and it doesn’t match the schedule so far (it has the L1 arguing the L3 and L2 the L4, but the email with round 2 topics had the L1 against the L2) I haz confuse am I going to be looking on and despairing next round, or not?
Disc golf hurts if you do it wrong, it appears my technique is why my Left shoulder is wasted, after watching a lot of YT, I noticed I was rounding, instead of a straight through shot, this is bad for your upper body. i am ambidextrous, as most Leftys are, so practicing the right form Right handed, no pain… I’ll try it Right tomorrow and see what happens,sorry for the boring comment,
Please. THere is no such thing as “boring” around here. OK, there was the “Big Bang” subthread above but otherwise….

Time to get a new swing coach. A few thousand for some lessons and you’ll shave 5 strokes off your handicap while saving the shoulder. Totally worth it.
So this landed in my FB feed, thanks to Mr. Mojeaux.

So tomorrow Wendy is going to an acute care Rehab facility in Vegas, she cant come home until her left arm works, otherwise I cant care for her. i don’t have the money to got see her every other day like i have been, and
I fear she will get more depressed, like me, but her health being what it is is, she needs company and good cheer to heal, I hope for the best

I figured that was a queer Joo.
So I’ve put in about 10 hours on The Outer Worlds and it’s very… ok.
A little too much dialogue, combat is a little too repetitive and the plot is a little too shallow.
I’ll finish it, then sell it. Not worth a second playthrough.
