My geographical area narrowly missed inclement weather. However, I’m still cold, and my mind isn’t exactly a raging torrent filled with rivulets of thought (Seriously; me?!).

Neph, if you’re ever in the Dayton area – especially in the general vicinity of the Air Force Museum – I recommend Spinoza’s in the Fairfield Commons Mall. Gourmet pizzas (and tasty salads if you’re doing low-carb,) a selection of craft brews, and gourmet ice cream they make on site. I recommended it to UCS for his trip to the AF Museum with his dad.
Me and low carb don’t do well, at least for long periods of time. No plans to head down to Dayton soon, but there are plans to head down to Canal Winchester at some point in the next couple of months (I need to pick up some sours at the Brewdog facility there).

I have no doubt I can do the job I’ve been hired to do, but damn I’m still nervous as hell. I’m already prone to panic attacks; starting a new job, more hours than I’ve had to do in a long time, how those hours interact with my off-time activities like drinking, cartooning and freelance work; general dislike of change and new environments. But also how the more money can make those things better. Feels like the first day of school I have nightmares about all over. I hope I don’t go to work in nothing but my underwear.

Change is good. You may find that the new lifestyle suits you better.
In my experience, the more money thing sure helps knock down the anxiety. Like I said to LCDR_Fish, you are young. Plenty of time for changes.
You are a talented and smart dude. Go get it.
I didn’t write you in the last day or so, did I?

Not enough for my curiosity.
Well, resend, I sent you something tonight as well.
Sounds like normal new job jitters to me. I think you’ll do well.

Wait….
I will get home about 10:30 CT, so I’ll be here for late night, not sure how long I’ll stay on as apposed to now.
One of these days I will sit up all night and hang out with the night shift crew.
This is not that night.

Enjoy your chocolate!
Danced himself out last night, I’d wager. Probably had more fun than TH so there is that.
That’s a sweet cat. I’ve had a few that have done that.
Chafed, with the kitty boops!
I used to have a sweetheart who would come up on my chest, stretch out with both paws and gently place them on my cheeks. Some times he fell asleep that way.
Our new cat – the one that has latched onto me like stink on shit – often gives me the bump-his-head-against-my-forehead move that apparently means that I’m “in his tribe.” (Or maybe “in his pride” since that’s more of a cat thing.)
When they give you the slow blink it’s either a sign of trust or they are lulling you into senescence. Mine haven’t devoured me yet so I’m banking on the former.
Oh, yeah! I learned about the slow blink from Jackson Galaxy. I miss that show! I might need it more now – new kitteh is more mischievous than our previous kitteh. Durn good thing he’s cute & affectionate.
This week, New Kitteh discovered toilet paper…and the fact that it unrolls. Had to turn the roll around THE WRONG WAY, which is really messing with my potty training. ***SIGH!!!*** And I’d been doing so well… : (
Aw. Mr. GT ain’t that old yet!
Ha I remember that period with mine. Coming home from work to find shredded toilet paper strewn about the apartment…
The best part is when its the last roll in the house.

As seen over on the Glibs Discord server– We have Crusty, but, they have Rickc-137.
Rick’s desperate attempts to seize the Crown of Derp from Mythical are the best plotline on discord, not gonna lie.
Is Discord strictly an app-based thing that must be downloaded, rather than a website? I’ve thought about looking into it, but I’m wary of apps. Too many – especially phone-based ones – claim they need to have access to every bit of personal info on your device. At that point, I usually say, “Thanks anyway. I don’t need it THAT much.” Would Discord take over my laptop?
No, it’s probably more website, as it’s used by gamers who stream, for some part of their chat.
You just have to have an invite code for some servers, such as the glibs’ server.
Is the Glibs’ Discord server as much fun as it is here?
I found it too disorienting to follow. Lots of channels or whatever it’s called.
Got invited early on but it was just way too much to process. Hard enough to keep up here.
The layout is fairly easy, but everything is in ‘real time’, which is why overnights is pretty good for catching up; not so good for quick feedback.
I’ve gotten in to the habit of checking various threads every night. But, no one is every on (beyond a straggler popping in and out), so no real interaction for me.
Do see many dank themes, yo. Many due to Rick C-137.
Wait–MLT? She has the Derp crown?? And, here I was, thinking it was Derpetologist.
Why is MLW hanging out there instead of here? I want more Charmed reviews.
That seems to be her main hang–why, I don’t know. But, most of the glibs that answered my question as to why they are there is because of the immediacy of feedback.
Clearly she doesn’t know about the snappy reparte (sp?) during Night Shift.
For the first time ever, I have attended operas on consecutive nights. Naturally, I had a 20 minute wait for the bus home last night, when it was 7 degrees (real people degrees, not that metric crap)… and a 3 minute wait tonight, when it was 28.
I have attended operas on consecutive nights
And then your monocle fell out?
of xer bum?
So, you’re doing penance, then.
I enjoyed the heck out of the one opera I’ve been to; Don Giovanni. It’s hilarious how that opera is now “problematic” – he ends up going to Hell for his actions, but apparently that’s not woke enough these days.
Theatre (that’s right, the douchy spelling) was my minor, but we never got into opera. That’s how lame it is.
Lose a bet or getting laid?
Which operas??
I got into it a few years ago, although I’m really not sure when the moment was that I decided to do that. It was part of this undertaking to become more acquainted with major cultural works in literature, poetry, classical music, etc.
I remember starting out with Gilbert & Sullivan (which I still enjoy listening to sometimes) and branched out into other big names, mostly Verdi. I’m currently reading a book called “A Mad Love” which is sort of an introduction to the history and elements of opera (although I’m dismayed that the author felt the need to slip in blatant Leftist political messages all throughout the text).
I particularly enjoyed La Traviata by Verdi and Tannhauser by Wagner. I know those are very “mainstream” in the opera world. But I like to study them three different ways in isolation: Watch a video performance with subtitles, listen to a performance of the music, and read the libretto. It’s very hard to find videos of lesser-known operas that are both of decent quality and accompanied by English subtitles. I’ve been searching like hell to find Les Troyennes by Berlioz to no avail.
What are your favorites, and what do you like about them?
Reading of yet another leftist attacking someone in a MAGA hat.
They always seem to pick people who can’t fight back (for whatever reason). Funny how that happens.
And/or it’s just a sucker-punch.
Well, I throw that in with the “whatever reason”. I am truly waiting on reading about an epic choke-slam on a proto-commie dildo who picks the wrong target.
But, let’s be honest–they know how to spot the one least likely to do anything and/or do something that can’t be countered.
this is the closest I’ve seen to something that would have justified a massive beating, but he settled for just shaming the dude.
I get pissed when I see shit like the Florida van man, and no one has the decency to be carrying. I mean–it’s FLORIDA, dammit! Stand yer fuckin’ ground!

Hey, now–I travelled 500 miles for you lot!
I think the guy who claimed he’d walk a thousand miles for his girlfriend would probably walk like six before bailing. Awhile back when I was carless and full of piss and drinking too much I made myself walk home after work instead of calling up my brother. That was a two hour trudge of six miles or so. Listen, lady, unless your vagina is the fountain of youth, I’m not walking more than a couple miles to lay on top of you.
Prideful walking is the best walking. This is known.
That’s when the most nefarious murder schemes are hatched.

Hard to pick a favorite but most of them are on Revolver.
“Here Comes The Sun” for highly personal reasons.
I grew up on the Sgt. Pepper’s album.
Revolver is my favorite album but With a Little Help from My Friends is one of my favorite tracks if only because of the central role it plays in one of my favorite hippie author’s books.

I love streaming shows on Netflix through ROKU.
Just binged some season 1 Cheers.
Earlier I watched the Netty White special. A lovely nostalgic romp.
Why is it called Roku? Means “six”.
Or “record”. Never mind.

Is that Betty White?
Yes”. No idea how it came out “Netty”
I know that feeling…
So, it was a good show?
My ex is named Annette. I called her Nettie. That’s a fun name. If I had to invent the perfect girlfriend, she’d have the intelligence of Shawn, the disposition of Molly, the body of Tanya, and the kinda dumb quiescent loyalty of Kaitlyn. And she’d be named Annette.

Holy shit this is crazy and scary at the same time. I’d love to know the science behind deep fakes and how easy or hard it is to determine if something is faked.

I’m going to try out a new church tomorrow. The one I waa kinda liking in San Marcos had a sudden departure of its senior pastor and so far they haven’t filled the spot. I’d like to know the backstory on that one.
Tomorrow I’m trying a larger church that seems healthy. I don’t need to get pressed into service again. As my sister-in-law says “Sometimes you just need to hang on the vine”.
Definitely. New attendees/members should get a honeymoon phase at their new church, so they can get established. If there is a need for them right off the bat, and they are OK with it, sure. Otherwise, new parishioners need an adjustment phase.
Yeah, the church we attended in Minnesota was a small one that needed all the help it could get. The first time we went happened to be a potluck after service, and the pastor insisted we stay even though we hadn’t brought anything.
The pastor sat with us at our table at lunch and I let slip that the spouse was a bass player.
The very next week, we attended and were sitting in the pew after everyone else had filed out. The pastor came to my husband and said “I think the Lord is calling you to play bass,” he said dryly, because the young bass player had SUCKED in the service music.
So he tried out with the band and was immediately signed on. I started helping in the A/V booth. Within months, I was on the church council. Within a couple of years, I was the council chair. (Yeah, laugh it up.) Served in that capacity from 2009-2017. I think it’s because I knew how to run a meeting.
Anyway, it ended up OK because the people there were wonderfully normal and very open about being flawed works-in-progress. But I don’t have the time or mental energy to jump in right now.
I’ll attend tomorrow and get a feel for the place.
Well, if you like them, but still get that kind of pressure, don’t be afraid of ‘no, thank you’. If a pastor won’t take no for an answer, you gotta wonder how effective they are in Gospel matters.
Yup.
If that doesn’t work out you can come to Congregation Bnai Chaim next Saturday. ?

I am almost–ALMOST–of the opinion that it’s worth the $ he steals (from other people) if it would guarantee Bloomers’ total political demise.
Question for the Glibs. We’ve got a huge natural gas project up here that cuts straight across the Province to a deep-water port. The largest infrastructure project in our history and yet even though the elected councils of every Indian Band have signed off, there are a few hereditary chiefs causing major problems and it is becoming a cross-country problem. They’re stopping rail traffic, sabotaging bridges and the like. Every court decision has ruled against them thus far but they’re well-funded by the like of the Tides Foundation and have dug in their heels. Understand, this is going to be nothing more than a hundred foot wide right of way with a buried pipe that won’t need much maintenance at all once installed. This is “unceded land” which means that the band has never signed a formal treaty with the Government of Canada. That being said, what right do a group of malcontents that lost elections have to ham-string a project of this magnitude? Fully 40% of the work force are natives. I know that most of us don’t care for eminent domain but this is all so much theatrics. We have to kowtow to royals again?
It this the one they call Pipeline 3 that is being routed through Minnesota, or a different one?
Oh no, this cuts across the middle of my province. Never mind the fact that there are a bunch of them running through there. It’s just the same tired bullshit being funded by the same tired assholes but it’s disrupting the country. Hereditary Chiefs are princes in name alone unless it suits the Gretas of the world. Just wait until the oil pipeline to Vancouver gets a-building…
Interesting about the elected council vs. hereditary “royalty”. They should restrict the unelected chiefs to purely ceremonial roles and let the elected folks reflect the will of the tribe.
*Krabappel laugh* Ha! Those places are more dis-functional than any city-slickers Appalachian fever dream. I lived it. Festus knows… It really is that bad.
I know what you mean. Indian reservations are depressing places. I get that the intent was to try and preserve their way of life, but in the end it has just sentenced generations to hopelessness and despair. And the bottle.
Native Americans have the highest high school drop out rate in the country.
I tutored a member of the Chickasha Nation when I was in high school. The kid expressed that he was trapped because he wanted to leave the old ways and go get a degree, but that he didn’t feel like he felt in with non-natives, but his tribal elders gave him crap for wanting to “westernize”. Poor dude was doomed.
That is just weird. And sad. When I’ve been in OK, Some tribes have pretty slick commercials touting the tribe, and how…modern, I guess, they are. Going by them, you’d think that they really have it together, and have merged/integrated into US ways rather well.
Damned Hopiwood glitz…
The so-called “5 Civilized Tribes” (Cherokee, Chickasha, Seminole, Creek, and Chocktaw) integrated rather well with the colonists for years. Many Cherokees embraced the southern plantation model and owned slaves and made tons of cash.
But they were marched west on the Trail of Tears anyway.
Pardon me for Cliff Clavening out here, but a little known fact is that the last confederate general to surrender in the Civil War was a Cherokee named Stand Watie. His great-great grandson was my history teacher in junior high.
Any chance he’s still teaching? I hate to say it, but, that fact would probably be soooo problematic in this day and age.
Rifles for Watie was a childhood favorite.
Nah, I’m sure he’s long retired if not also no longer with us.
A real shame though. I wish we had more of that type of teacher: men who know history and study it, not wrestling and football coaches.
And let’s face it, nowadays public schools are feminist dominated indoctrination camps.
Also, I must submit a correction. My memory failed me. My history teacher was a grandson of Quanah Parker, last chief of the Comanche.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quanah_Parker
Here was my teacher: Quanah Cox.
“Quanah Edward Cox, 81, longtime Duncan, OK educator and coach, died on Monday, July 16, 2012 at the Lawton/ Fort Sill Veterans Center, Lawton, OK.”
May he R.I.P.
Always sorry to hear that a good teacher has passed.
I would wager they are doing so because they can, and now is the time to do so, considering how much social cache “racist” has in polite company (heh). There will always be people who are willing to cut off the proverbial nose, and haven’t exactly learned about “best interests”. Or, count it with other metrics.
Do you think there are any Canadian courts who are willing to us ED on this against First Nations?
The NG company has won every court decision thus far but the Supreme Court is full of commies. Same with the oil pipeline. Even with our commie Provincial government against it. I dunno. Bread will be buttered on both sides and everyone walks away happy except the Canadian tax-payer. It’s the idea of “Royals” being able to veto anything that sticks in my craw. You reign over nothing. You are a conquered people.

The “Be Mein” one is the keeper.
It’s a tough call, but that is pretty good.
So, if any remembers (and cares), you know I ordered a sword through Amazon back between Christmas and NY, that had to come from China.
::sigh::
Yeah, it hasn’t arrived. In fact, the last morsel of info on it was it leaving a Chinese town/mail hub on 1/2, and, that was a USPS note. Based on that alone, it never made land-fall in the US. I’ve told the ‘store’ that I intend to ask for a refund.
While it’s somewhat trying it parse their Engrish, it can be done. They keep pushing me to call the USPS toll-free # to check on it–dudes, I get daily updates from the po-po; there is literally no info available, and I’ve already started a search request with USPS.
It. Is. Lost. Give me my money back. I would love to have the thing (COVIDS be damned), but, it’s nowhere!
Aaaaand, that’s one rant. I have others.
A lord and his sword are parted?!? GASP!
This cannot stand!
It cannot. Damn whoever has perpetrated this!
Funny, wife had an order from China also fail to ship circa same time period. First item shipped about 2-3 weeks prior. Company stopped responding via email and phone goes to voicemail. I’m wondering the the Wuflu/extended Chinese New Year is behind the strange behavior. They did apparently just respond to PayPal (with the tracking number for the original item that was shipped).
I have done as much sleuthing as I can about when/where for this shipper. Not in Wuhan, and not exactly close, but, who knows. There was a lot of info from pick-up to (what I think is) the country departure, due to that entry coming from USPS. Then, nada. And, as far as I can tell, it would have made the US before we started doing any kind of customs holds/quarantine. Even then, the info would/should have updated since then. But 6-7 weeks is just way too long for this.
No worries. We’re all gonna die.
Run it through your home autoclave and I’m sure you’ll be fine. Maybe don some UCS “Chinese Sword Gloves” just to be sure.
Well, I have to get the thing first. But, yes–a quick autoclave shpritz and…well, I’ve said too much already.
So much SQUEEE in this gif!:

Now, there’s a good kitty.
Another good kitty. Youtube, but no volume needed.

It’s a cat soothing a crying baby. You should see the cat’s look of smug satisfaction (even judgmentalness of the inept human parents?) at about 1:25 min.
“What? What was so hard about this, ‘human’?”
That is so cool! I wonder if kitteh it feeling him up for the roasting pan, though.
Having owned a parrot once myself, I can attest that because parrots don’t flit quickly around like outdoor song birds, cats treat them very differently. The cats seem to know that the parrots are intelligent and will eff the cats up if they make a wrong move.
Plus the actual “Fuck Off!” if a parrot-bird gets agitated. They can sound disturbingly human. Cats respond to that.
Oh! You mean Ruby!
I had an upstairs neighbor that I never met who owned a parrot that would sing bars all day long. “La la la la la la laaaaa” I wanted to keeel that bird.
Yeah, I got a bit tired of my bird too, and when I had to rehome it because I was going to grad school in Sweden, I was kinda relieved.
Went to a veterinary student who was specializing in avian and other exotic pets.
I knew a parrot that belonged to a friend who also owned a cat. The parrot would say in the owner’s voice “Here, Kitty kitty kitty” until the kitty approached the parrot perch, whereupon the parrot would drop something onto the cat (toys, food bits, whatever) and laugh and laugh at the cat.
Parrots are too damned smart and needy of emotional and mental stimulation to be kept in a cage as pets. They are not domesticated; I suspect most of them are in enormous mental torture in captivity.

Sorry folks, gotta bail! Thanks Diggus for putting this up and special thanks to the lovely lady for her Yusefsplosion. You guys really are the best!
Well, I m finding it a struggle to keep my eyes open. G’night, Diggy.
G’night, M’Lady.
Yes! My YouTube algorithm bending is working! I’m getting ads in nihongo now.
The last algorithm bender?
East coast Glibs are now waking up, glancing bleary eyed at the clock radio, stumbling into the bathroom, and peeing as straight and true as they can. Perhaps they head to the kitchen next to put on some coffee, or perhaps they head back to bed for a Sunday morning snooze. It won’t be long before the more westerly Glibs follow suit, all in time for the morning links.
My work schedule is fucked up, and I was awake at 3:30 this morning.
Oh man. Working today?
No; I worked 4-noon yesterday.
I think I’d be happy with that shift. Quiet drive to work, then the whole afternoon to do my own thing after.
But then you wake up at 330 on a sunday…
Normally I do 6-2:30, but I wanted to get my eight hours over with. The problem is having to go to bed earlier than normal on Saturday night, and then waking up early on Sunday.
No coffee, and the morning bathroom break is for solid waste disposal.
You mean you don’t pee first, or like, at all? Dehydrated much? Or, do you get up to pee in the night more?
You seem a mite over-interested in my bathroom proclivities. Are you sure you’re not German?

It’s too early for that sort of thing, Ted. It’s always too early for that sort of thing come to think of it.
*Tres
You think I’m interested in Scheißeporn?
Lol. I just figured it was weird you come in right away with an apparent absolute rule about what morning bathroom breaks are for. It’s probably just a wording thing. I defied your decree and just peed as soon as I got up this morning, solids not being immediately available for dispatch.
What made you think that was a rule for you?
I thought it was a rule for everyone!
