Happy Thursday, everybody. My spousal unit kept the kids home from school today so that she could take them to pick up her mother from the airport, and then they were going to Busch Gardens. Judging by the pure crazy of the two about 9:30am, I will hear stories of woe and disaster that start with, “YOUR sons…” Somehow they’re always my sons when they are being terrorists. Other than that, its been another beautiful day. Also we are making copycat KFC bowls for dinner. Its not healthy, but its delicious. I wonder, at what point did I get cheap enough to make copycat versions of something I can just go order 5 of for like, $20?
I love to hate everyone involved with this.
The Hat and Hair are probably involved with this.

Can I tell you how excited I am that politics has devolved into a name-calling contest? These must be our best and brightest!
They keep saying that.
The standard of evidence for Dems appears to be much higher than it is for anyone else.
Great minds drink alike?
Of course it is. Out and out public confessions of misdeeds are note foundations for saying they did something.

There’s a fucking video of Gropey Joe giving a blow-by-blow.

Also, to some extent, Kelly is talking out of his ass because he wasn’t there when everything went down.
They need to change that to illegally. As RC Dean has pointed out it’s entirely possible that what they did, while unethical as hell, may not be illegal under our current law.
I actually don’t doubt that it was legal. They built the system so that they could fleece it.

In high school I had to do a debate team thing for a class and it frustrated me to the point of violence that the other team’s rebuttal would be to just say their thing over again as if we hadn’t shot holes through their argument and then just deny anything they couldn’t ignore. I had no idea that was what actual “debate” is about. Silly me, I thought it involved actual argumentation, rationality, intellectual accountability, that sort of thing.
The debate style I learned overseas actually involved rhetoric and logic. Imagine my horror the first time I witnessed a US style “debate” competition.
You should see the NYT article on Jussie Smollet. If you didn’t know about the case, you’d end up with the impression that he was actually attacked.
I don’t need a rage headache.
He was attacked! I saw the noose around his neck on the internet ! It was dark so he couldn’t tell if the two Nigerians were black or white.

“unfounded and false claims to allege that the Bidens acted corruptly in Ukraine”
Now THAT’S how you do fake news.
So Hunter Biden was totes qualified for that $50K per month Burisma job, eh?
Yes, that and more, he was a veteran after all.
More like $80K/month.
His boss was Trump, not Congress. So, he didn’t tell his boss his concerns at all. Instead, he went outside the chain of command. Is that what you taught your Marines, Kelly? Fuck the chain of command, and go cry to civilians when you have a problem?
I thought Vindman wasn’t on the call, but heard about it second or third hand. Could be wrong on this.
Trump didn’t order anyone to do anything on that call. If Vindman thought Trump had given him an illegal order, the only proper thing for him to do, given that there is no one above Trump on the chain of command to report it to, was resign.
What a steaming pile of swamp garbage. Now wonder Trump fired him.
“Kelly said that when Vindman heard Trump tell Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he wanted the country to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, the ask was for the aide “tantamount to hearing ‘an illegal order,'” The Atlantic reported. Trump and his allies have repeatedly made unfounded and false claims to allege that the Bidens acted corruptly in Ukraine.”
Unfounded and false, Urkel?
I’m pretty sure the claim is they acted corruptly in DC.
Vindman said he heard Trump say this. Whether or not Trump really did….
Not even that. Vindman never had even talked to Trump. He never made the claim to have heard that IIRC. He said he thought Trump had said that by hearing one half of a conversation.
I like this article better, because of the headline.

I dated a girl like that once. 6’1″, skinny as hell, did some modeling. It was like trying to play with a whippet; you’re both game, and it’s certainly a handsome dog, but, Jesus, man, you can feel its ribs! It’s gonna snap an ankle if it tries to make a hard turn on the hardwood!

Former White House chief of staff John Kelly said Wednesday that

I’m going….. to…….. Duff Gardens!!!
Put the sandwich down.
I’d like to be alone with the sandwich for a moment.
“Hooray!” (falls face forward into car horn)
Put the sandwich down? (to sandwich) “Oh, I could never be mad at you.”
One of the best-ever episodes.
It’s in my Top 5 for sure.
In no particular order: Duff Gardens, 22 Short Films About Springfield (Aurora Borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?), Homer Badman (2-4-6-8 Homer’s crime was really great! Great meaning large or immense, we use it in the pejorative sense!), Cape Feare (aaaaaah, the Thompsons!), Last Exit to Springfield (It was the best of times, it was the BLURST of times? You stupid monkey!)
When I say hello Mr. Thompson and press down on your foot, you just smile and nod.
I think he’s talking to you.
Wow, you even remember the names of the episodes.
Actually, I missed the name of the Duff Garden’s episode (it’s “Selma’s Choice”). But yeah, I know pretty much all of Seasons 2-8 by heart.
Don’t forget King Size Homer. “I heard your dad went into a restaurant and ate all the food in the restaurant and they had to close the restaurant.”
Well, JB, I gotta hand it to you – you steam a good ham
Nice list. All of them are awesome. The Simpsons Spinoff Showcase is another that really knocks on spinoffs, plus Troy McClure is possibly one of the greatest characters in the show (really any of Phil Hartman’s characters).
“Works on contingency? No, money down!”
You might recognize me from such driver safety videos as “Alice’s Adventure Through the Windshield Glass” and “The Decapitation of Lead-foot Larry”
Firecrackers, the silent killers.
There’s a group of probably like 15 or 20 episodes I’d put in a tier just below my top 5. That’s one of them.
For sure.
I was just thinking Marge Vs the Monorail is another great one (I call the big one Bitey!).
I still think Lisa the Vegetarian is the best 22 minutes in the history of TV.
Fun fact about that one: Paul McCartney agreed to be a guest star only if they agreed to permanently make Lisa a vegetarian (instead of it being just for the episode and ignored afterwards).
“Gee Mr. McClure, I was a Grade-A moron for ever questioning meat!”
“Yes you were, Jimmy. Yes you were.”
“Ouch, you’re hurting me.”
LOLOLOL
That filmstrip alone had about 10 different classic lines.
“If a cow ever got the chance, he’d eat you and everyone you care about!”
“C’mon Jimmy, lets take a peek at the killing floor”
*GASP
“Don’t let the name throw you, Jimmy. It’s not really a floor; it’s more of a steel grating that allows material to sluice through so it can be collected and exported.”
“Just ask this scientician.”
“Ahh…”
I think my favorite filmstrip is the “imagine a world without zinc” one.
“Yes, the Simpsons have come a long way since an old drunk made humans out of his rabbit characters to pay off his gambling debts. Who knows what adventures they’ll have between now and when the show becomes unprofitable?”
Had to look that one up, but good, nonetheless.
I never miss “You Only Move Twice” (Scorpio!) when it’s on. “Bart After Dark” (burlesque house) is another favourite.
Hank Scorpio’s theme song is one of my favorites: “His twisted two obsessions are his plot to rule the world and his employee’s health. He welcomes you into his lair, like a nobleman welcomes his guest, with free dental care and a stock plan that helps you invest.”
That is a great episode!
I’m about to mute every word remotely associated with politics from my Twitter timeline until November 4. That way I still get to enjoy the post-election freakout.

It’s beginning to come out that all of Bloomberg’s support is bought and paid for. He doesn’t have a single supporter that he isn’t also donating to.
Astroturf.
I brought receipts.
It looks that way. I’m wondering if getting into the Democratic debates will help or hurt him.
Isn’t that true of them all?
Bernie has true believers – although many believe they’ll be paid off when he wins and raids the Treasury.
Bloomberg is talking about spending money at a rate nobody has ever seen – in the $2 Billion range for this year.
Hillary must be shitting bricks about that. He could have been spending it on her in 2016.
I’d say the Bernie Bros’ fantasy also involves “making the rich pay their fare share.”
“Raids the Treasury”
You get an IOU and you get an IOU.
A trillion dollar coin here, a trillion dollar coin there…. pretty soon you’re talking about real money!

I thought that was obvious from day 1.
He’s not in it to win the presidency, he wants to buy the party.
Republicans hate him because he’s a turncoat and a gun grabber and Dems hate him because he’s a billionaire and an authoritarian. I’d bet he has the heartfelt support of the Max Boot types though.
He’s got my MIL’s vote.

Bay. Rum. Panna. Cotta.
I used to age my vanilla extra next to my bay rum extract. Was making vanilla panna cotta and grabbed the wrong bottle. The bay, black pepper, and blood orange flavors in the panna cotta were outstanding.
Do you flame it first, or put in as is?
Just put it in. I thought I was making vanilla, so I just replaced the vanilla 1 for 1 with aftershave and it turned out great. But I didn’t know what I had until it was ready to eat the next day.
(Bay Rum: Dark rum, a few bay leaves, a few pepper corns, blood orange rind, ginger, star anise. Place in a dark corner of the basement for 6 weeks. Apply to face after shave. Enjoy attention of lady friends. Possibly get a DUI even if sober.)
That sounds delicious.

Saw your morning post re: going to Europe. Having been to Brussels, Bruges and Antwerp, my temptation is to tell you to minimize your time in Brussels, spend a couple of days (at least!) in and around Bruges, and two days/three nights for Antwerp. Brussels’ old centre is fine and all, but it’s mostly a government town with a shocking amount of industrial areas (to my mind, anyways). Bruges is just totes awesome, and Antwerp’s centre has many hidden, under-appreciated charms. Both are eminently walkable. And there’s a small, quiet bar in Bruges down a side-street that serves several hundred different labels of Belgian beer that’s just outtasight.
Ooooh, forgot to mention: the best effing Belgian Beef Stew (Carbonnade Flamande) I’ve ever had was at a little resto in Bruges, just a five-minute stroll from the Ibis Centrum. I still dream of it, and might go back there one day in ninja gear just to try and “extract” the recipe from the chef.
Is it to late to insert a clip of Dr. Evil talking about Belgium?

Nice.

The Bone Church in Kutna Hora. Otherwise just walk around and look at the hot Czech women. Especially if the weather is warm.
Turns out the CZ factory doesn’t offer tours, so Bone Church and hot chicks it is!
I think the factory is way down in Zlin, so it would be a bit of a drive anyway. I think they have a shop in Prague near the train station.
Otherwise just walk around and look at the hot Czech women.
Yes!
If there are tourists, expect there to be pickpockets. Take precautions.

In Dresden, a far-right stronghold where resentment over what neo-Nazis call the “bombing holocaust” lingers, Steinmeier addressed a somber ceremony that included forming a human chain to remember victims.
In a mission to destroy civilian morale, British planes pounded Dresden with explosive and incendiary bombs on the night of Feb. 13, creating a firestorm that tore through streets and laid waste to the city’s Baroque churches and palaces. U.S. planes joined later.
The bombing of Dresden reminds Germans of the destruction of democracy, nationalist hubris, contempt for humanity, anti-Semitism and racial fanaticism, Steinmeier said in his speech.
“I fear these dangers have not been banished to this day,” he said, adding they were starting to poison Germany’s public life and democratic institutions.
It is not enough for democrats to turn away in disgust, he said. “None of this must remain unchallenged in our country. We must all reject hatred and incitement, counter insults, contradict prejudice,” he said.
Cancel yourself, and make the world a better place, I guess.
Kurt Vonnegut is right up there with Goebbels and Leni Riefenstahl.
Damn your nimble fingers to hell Rodrigo!
And yet, Harrison Bergeron.
The SED has been poisoning Germany’s democratic institutions, too.
The damn Germans need to get over their war guilt.
?? – er I mean ?
They went the other extreme.
They need Puppy Yoga to find balance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbqW-dG3aSw
I’m not sure I’d want to tie the bombing of Dresden with guilt over the Holocaust. Plenty of people who aren’t neo-Nazis think that was by any estimation a war crime. Lots and lots of people who had absolutely nothing to do with the Holocaust died horribly as a result of the firebombing. Even at the time people weren’t all that comfortable with it; allegedly the bombing crews involved were sort of swept under the rug back in the UK and even today aren’t really talked about.
And Dresden is just the most famous example. Lots of other cities got the same treatment including one I spent some time in (Würzburg).
The Germans should ask us how effective hanging guilt for an atrocity around the necks of an entire society and its descendants in perpetuity, say slavery, works as far as minimizing the attraction of hate groups and so forth.
Tokyo got it worst of all, at least before the a-bombs dropped. In a single night, 16 square miles of the city was destroyed by fires started by incendiary bombs and approximately 100,000 people were killed.
I may be an outlier but I don’t have a problem with it. The Nazis bombed London as long and as hard as they could. They weren’t particular while shelling Stalingrad. This was total war. The Nazis had long made clear how they treat others. If every square inch of Nazi Germany was bombed it wouldn’t trouble me.
War is hell. It should be conducted in accordance with that rule.
Perhaps then we wouldn’t be so eager to get into every fight across the globe.
Agreed. And here we are 75 years later and hearing stupid arguments from the “left” and the “right” while the vast majority just want to get on with life and are sick of hearing about it.
Don’t know if you’ve ever read Art Spiegelman’s graphic novel “Maus”, which is his father’s story of survival in the Holocaust. There’s a page in which the character representing his father is passing through Dresden after he’s been freed, where he remarks “Good. Let the Germans have a little of what they gave the Jews.”
Collective guilt and collective blame are wrong. It is entirely understandable how a victim of atrocity would bear malice toward the group responsible, but that does not make it right. The thousands of children burned to death in Dresden did not bear the guilt of the holocaust. And the notion of “they started the war and war is hell so anything we do to end it quickly is proper” carried to its ultimate expression justifies genocide.
It’s almost like nationalism might be a bad thing.
That wasn’t true nationalism
No, the children of Dresden did not bear the blame, any more than the children in the Warsaw ghetto or in Stalingrad.
While I agree with you that the utilitarian conclusion of “war is hell” is genocide, which is explicitly immoral, my comment was more intended to draw attention to our current obsession with moral war, which I do not believe exists. We strive to attain some unachievable standard of military conduct that only serves to keep us in perpetual conflict, instead of ending things decisively and then going home. We should simultaneously be far, far more reluctant to use war as “politics by other means”, and much more ruthless in our application of it. Fear is a useful deterrent, both to our enemies and to us, even if that fear is of the guilt we will bear for our actions.
We are truly an empire now, complete with occupying forces in far away lands that our own people have no understanding of. And we will bear a heavy price for it in the long run.
That reminds me of a similar thing I read in a book by a Korean woman who was imprisoned by the Imperial Japanese. She was imprisoned for not paying homage to in image of the Emperor (it violated her religious beliefs to do so), and after she was freed by the Americans and was in transit to America her plane had a stopover in Japan. The destruction she saw from her plane she interpreted as God’s judgment on the Japanese for what they had done.

I’m eating a KFC bowl over bat soup.
I don’t have anything necessarily against the KFC bowl, as fast food should be portable. But if you are not a fucking infant, there is no reason to eat Thanksgiving dinner out of a bowl. That is the worst fat man-child food shit I have ever heard of.
That’s what the bread is for. Open face sandwiches are classy and adult.
How is that guy going to mix the potatoes, gravy, and turkey around while making disgusting lip-smacking noises as he waits for his CS:GO match to start if its on top of bread?
Put it all in a blender, drink it with a tactical straw.
Oh lawd Jesus….

Sometimes a bowl is just a bowl.
I like mixing Thanksgiving items together, but I guess I keep it classy with a plate.

“Bloomberg Hits Back at ‘Carnival Barking Clown’ Trump: ‘Behind Your Back They Laugh at You’”
—————————————————————————————————————————————–
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
– Mahatma Gandhi.
I saw what you did there.
The mashed potatoes are the best part of the KFC Famous bowl for me. I wanted to make my own that would do the KFC bowl justice. Making copycat KFC mashed potatoes at home isn’t difficult.
To make the mashed potatoes, first peel and cube 8-10 baking potatoes. Yep, that’s right. Plain old baking potatoes like Russets. They don’t have a lot of moisture but do have a lot of starch. This combination makes the base for a perfectly fluffy yet creamy mashed potato.
That’s a lot of effort to make instant mashed potatoes.
My wife and kids complain about the Idaho instant mashed potatoes. I don’t see the problem. I celebrate their entire catalog. Especially the applewood bacon.
The keys to making fantastic mashed potatoes:
1)Boil them whole with the skins on so they absorb less moisture
2)You can either leave them on (which I usually do) or peel them after the boiling
3)Then. mash them up in the now-drained pot you boiled them in to dry them out a bit
4)Warm the milk before you mix it into the mash
4)Warm the milk before you mix it into the mash
So close to right and yet so far away as well. Cream, half and half, or for a touch of added savor sour cream.
Buttermilk. Real churned buttermilk, not that cultured crap.
Creme fraiche and butter, otherwise you’re just playing make believe.
I really enjoy all of you cooking snobs trying to out-snob each other.

So I gnawed a pathway through the big drift in my driveway with a combination of shoveling and snowblower, and made a run to the grocery store.
My new knobby truck tires passed their first real test with flying colors, including bashing through the snow piled at the end of my driveway by my idiot neighbor with his plow.
The path was almost completely filled in by the time I got back from the store.
I had a pleasant drive on dry pavement this morning, spiced up by a crew of fit young women on their road bikes. Slowed down for that, lemme tell ya.

But current state laws require that all records of blue card applications be destroyed after 30 days by the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, which distributes the cards — making it potentially more difficult to authenticate the cards when they are used to purchase weapons.
While RIDEM does not foresee changing the way blue cards are distributed to qualified applicants, the department is evaluating its current policy on record-keeping, according to Chief Public Affairs Officer of RIDEM Michael Healey. He also noted that the statute that the current policy is based upon does not explicitly require RIDEM to destroy the lists of names after 30 days.
“For several years, we have relied on an internal legal opinion interpreting the law as requiring us to do that,” Healey said, adding that it is “reasonable to infer” that the attorney who wrote this interpretation was mindful of state and federal laws that prohibit government agencies from keeping a registry of privately owned firearms.
No he wasn’t. The President can say what he wants. Know your lane.
Can I tell you how excited I am that politics has devolved into a name-calling contest? These must be our best and brightest!
Not our best and brightest, but our representatives, which is really the whole point of representative government, to give the people a government that reflects them.
Uffda. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but it looks like the Vikings stadium is really being built by e-pulltabs. Almost too successful. Now there is a brewing fight to steal the extra funds.
Got to start spreading that loot around, or you run the risk of having to shut the tax down once the stadium is paid off.
“Let’s not forget that #AmberHeard was not only arrested for abusing her gf in 2009 & admitted on tape that she abused #JohnnyDepp, there’re also other women who were victims of her violence & she also beat up her sister & refused to answer under oath whether she had abused her.”

Even if true, I doubt anything will happen to her.
This doesn’t seem that bad.
Jim Carrey was speaking on camera to Heat Magazine reporter Charlotte Long when the exchange occurred. In the interview, Long asked Carrey, “In the film, Sonic has a bucket list and I was wondering after all you’ve done in your career, in your life, is there anything still left in your bucket list?”
The actor replied: “Just you.” His remark elicited nervous laughter from Long, who replied, “Wow… I don’t know what to say to that.”
Carrey said, “Just own it.” Long replied, “OK, I’m owning it now.”
He’s a comedian. They’re supposed to push the edge. Get over it.
Carrey is a miserable asshole.
He is.
However, hitting on her was a big giant “fuck you” to the SJW and Cancel Culture. Saying, “Just own it” was a rebuke.
Agreed. On both counts.
True, but that doesn’t change my opinion.
Ugh, that’s a new low. Really, very gross and inappropes. Cancel this shit.
Dr Robtonik is supposed to be fat.

One of the things I loved about Opie & Anthony and Jim Norton – when somebody told a total failure of a joke, they would literally stop the show and dissect the bomb. I made for really funny and uncomfortable radio.
I don’t like Jim Carrey much, but I don’t think everyone should get the vapors over every obnoxious comment.
Reading it, I thought it was an obvious joke. I haven’t watched the video, so I can’t tell if he was at all serious.
Hell, it’s a joke that would fit in the comments here.
We wouldn’t have this problem if we had repealed the 22nd Amendment while the Ascended One was still President
Retired Ambassador Marie “Masha” Yovanovitch — a highly respected career diplomat who unwittingly became one of the central figures in the impeachment drama — warned about the degradation of the State Department and took veiled jabs at the Trump administration in her first public remarks since leaving the diplomatic service.
Speaking at an event at Georgetown University on Wednesday where she was honored for “Excellence in the Conduct of Diplomacy,” Yovanovitch called for a “vigorous Department of State” to regain its stature in the nation’s capital, warning that “right now the State Department is in trouble.”
The retired career foreign service officer, as she did in her testimony before the House during the impeachment inquiry, cautioned that the department was being “hollowed out” and helmed by “senior leaders (who) lack policy vision, moral clarity and leadership skills.”
My beautiful Deep State is in shambles!

CNN has become such a pathetic establishment bootlicker that they’re going to wake up one day and find they’ve alienated everyone; Berniebots are already starting to get pissed off at it since it’s so obvious they’re trying to kneecap him. Everyone right of Stalin already hates it, what are they gonna have left? Career bureaucrats and elected officials? Doesn’t seem like enough of an audience to keep afloat.
That’s why they locked down the airports so long ago – need that captive audience.
Poor thing is reduced to speaking gigs and collecting awards from all the right people. Maybe a gig on CNN or MSNBC. ?
How dare anyone deny us of our divinely bestowed powers!
I’m on my weekly conference call with the Florida Bar Business Law Section’s lobbyists on how all our bills are going in the state house/senate.
One of them just remarked about how he’s amazed that one of the representatives they contacted actually asked questions about the bill.

I found a D&D reference.
“Some may call this junk. Me, I call them treasures. Chaotic neutral. Follow me, I know da wae.”
By definition of their (fictional) nature, Chaotic Neutrals cannot be trusted to be followed, nor can they be trusted at all, except to act randomly.

Buh-bye women’s sports!
Yep, let the biological males in and they will take all the top spots. Trans people should have to compete against either their birth gender or each other.
It’s “runner that was assigned male at birth”.
Jesus people, get it right.
A runner who had their sex assumed by some patriarchal asshole doctor at birth….
Unless he’s an actual middlesex individual his sex is male.
If women want to end this shit, they need to start boycotting events like the Olympics en masse. Not that I give a shit about women’s sports.
Are these MtF athletes hormone suppressed enough that testosterone levels fall within the anti-doping org’s standards for women?
I read somewhere those standards are still way higher than the testosterone levels of average women. The skeletomuscular differences are important too, and not addressed at all.
Yep, if someone has gone through puberty as a man, they are, for purposes of athletic competition, not a woman. Just watch Fallon Fox’s UFC fights. It looks like a man beating the shit out of a woman, because physically that’s what it is.
I’ll call you she/her, I’ll call you by your preferred name, but there’s no way in hell I think that a MTF athlete should be competing with women, anymore than a grown man should compete with children.
Unintentional?
I’ve noticed that Fox does that. It’s really annoying.
I can see Pelosi spouting toxic snot blobs though. Especially this November. Say, the second Wednesday of the month.
Short post.
I think I am having baaaad day. Epileptic symptoms. More shaking and balance issues than I normally deal with—which are pretty much never. Today almost went to ER to make sure this wasn’t getting out of hand. Light seizure symptoms making me feel weird. Talked to lots of docs and they think I need to make sure I’m actually properly on all me meds and doses, but that I should try to take everything in stride. This is bad but it’s short and you’ll be ok, pretty much.
This was harder to type than it should have been. More details will have to come later–delayed for now.
I am supposed to fly back to Korea in a week…haven’t got the ticket yet…this is not a good time for my brain to be pulling this shit on me. Sadly, I’m likely the cause of the problem and I need to learn from my mistakes to try and minimize this shit.
Yikes. OK. Be strong, soldier. You tried it for a while fairly successfully. NOW. STAY STRONG SOLDIER. Don’t just get there. Remain there.
WHoooo.—kay…
Anxiety is pushing some things harder than normal. The left side of my face is having (light) movement and spasm activities and I can also feel that in my throat on my left side. That was always the focal point of my illness and sometimes speaking or breathing were hard or I couldn’t do the former on my own. I could breathe out my nose no problem but through my mouth was hard.
The issues are definitely happening now though much, much less severe than they used to be when I was still in the hospital.
My brain has kinda gone bye bye today.
Dood, maybe you should consider postponing going back to Asia; it sounds like you need more time to recuperate.
This is a very real thought I have to balance now. Supposed to fly out the 19th. Orientation for new school starts 24th. Semester starts March.
Holy fuck. Lady is already over there and certainly my social life and work and blahblahblah.
Accident was Sept 22 and I have pretty much spent most of 2019 either teaching for two months in Thailand and trying to get my foot in the door freelancing.
It might be too soon to start anew. But I’ve been fallow for so long that it’s hard to think my self out of giving it my best shot. I felt good yesterday. I have felt good the last 6 weeks. Sometimes fucking phenomenal.
Deep breath.
Will Lady make things better or worse?
It takes time for the brain to heal itself. I think you shouldn’t push it. A normal surgery is six months to complete recovery and a year before you really feel normal again. And this involves your brain.
The blood pressure medicine I was on (way too high dosage) made me feel like I was having a damn stroke. It was awful. I was dizzy and my equilibrium was off. My vision’s depth perspective was all fucked up too, like my focal point on one side was farther away than the other side. I felt really spaced out too, like nothing was real. The problem is I kept getting better, but they never changed the dosage. My BP was 90/60. I called my doctor and they took me in right away. After they gradually cut my dosage to about a third, I got better pretty quickly.
Yikes that sounds scary. I hope that my recovery comes quickly as well—I’m fairly certain that my med levels are off and inconsistent because of mistakes that I have made.
Right now I’m on Depakote and Lyrica. I have some Nerontin around (that stuff is very powerful and I don’t know how I feel about it. I stopped taking it regularly a while ago. We switched meds and dosage.)
I’m somewhat spaced out. It’s hard right now–the anxiety is increasing the other things that are going on. I can’t tell where one begins and another ends.
Hope you feel better soon. Maybe see another doctor. It’s unreal how negligent they can be with medications. Almost all prescription medication have side effects and some people are lot more susceptible to those with certain drugs. Doctors like statistics is what I’ve noticed, they don’t seem too much interested in your personal experience.
I’m sorry Evan, I hope your recovery goes quickly. Sending well wishes your way.

“You might not think of the knitting world as a particularly political community, but you’d be wrong. Many knitters are particularly active in social justice communities and love to discuss the revolutionary role that knitters have played in our culture.”
Ok, that’s it, I’ve changed my mind about ever getting involved in knitting.
“Knitting stars”
Oh.my.fucking.god.
We’re doomed as a species, there’s no hope left.
Wait you read an article by an actual reasonable, open minded liberal, who actually took the time to listen to the other side, and who realized that the other side were not all insane racists, and that made you decide we are doomed as a species?
That was the most optimistic thing I have read in months.
That Jim Carey story:
I’m no fan of Crey, but who gives a shit? Tat seems completely innocuous to me. In the old days, she would have either rolled her eyes at him like a kindergarten teacher, or slipped him her room key. Either way, there’s no reason for any buttinski-ism on the part of anybody else.
“rolled her eyes at him like a kindergarten teacher, or slipped him her room key.”
Or both.
With Klomentum, come Kloshade I guess.
Daily Beast is outraged that Special K takes money from Cargill.
Note to out of staters, EVERYONE in Minnesoda is on Cargill’s payroll. The best though is disgruntled Iowa guy who calls her out Paul Wellstone style.
Harris has to be pissed. That she failed and Klondike bar and buttigeig are doing well. I bet she threw some parents in jail on truancy charges for it.
White privilege wins every time.
“I bet she threw some parents in jail on truancy charges for it.”
Her own probably, and she was going to do that anyway.
Alright My Friends, Wendy went done early this morning, and after 5 minutes, they brought her back, I hit the road, and 2 hours later, he signs were good, with vasodilators, and intubation, O2 saturation 98%, after speaking with her nurses and chilling with her, they brought up DNR, I talked to my Sister about it, as Wendy and I had done in the past, so it was a relief when they spoke first. DNR signed, kisses given( Damn the Isolation!) and when I left, she was at 83%Alarm, with 100% O2, they can’t do anymore than that. I just got a call, they said her Heart rate is slowing, it’s time for her to Go See,
I can’t deal with this at al….
Sending love to both of you, friend.
Wendy is already with God, her body just doesn’t know yet, I am at peace with it all, she is tired,
and I’m lonely and confused,
and then I collapse into a mess…… I’m actually hyperventilating, I need to stop..
My dear friend. It is time to let her go. I went through this very same thing with my father. The bravest thing you can do is let her go home. And after an appropriate time, it will be time to heal.
Yusef I’m so sorry, my heart goes out to you both.
That’s terrible news, I’m sorry.
Thoughts and prayers your way. Good luck Yusef.
Also, a song for you.

Perfect.

So very sorry to hear that.
My condolences dude
Prayers brother.
Your love for her is magnificent.
Good luck.
YdaK,
Although I have not read most of the posts of those experiencing hardships, I just read yours.
I am fairly certain that we have not exchanged comments, YdaK, and naturally you may conclude that I have been un-supportive.
If I recall correctly, you live in a place where the following support may be available and of use/comfort:
Family Caregiver Alliance
National Center on Caregiving

I think the individuals that you will contact through these links/phone numbers are very willing to provide any help they can. Thus, if one or two cannot offer support they have access to others who are able to do so.
I am so sorry Bob.
I’m sorry.
Sorry 🙁
My condolences, Yusef.
Oh, Yusef, I am so sorry. You are in my thoughts, and my prayers.
I am sorry. My deepest condolences to you.
I raise a glass to Wendy … and you Yusef.
I’m sorry
I can’t imagine why I am such a shitlord who loves to live out in the burbs and not in a major city. I must be crazy or something to not love city living.
Local pols close loophole in parking laws. St. Paul neighborhood doesn’t have enough parking, so the city passes ordinances that prohibit any parking unless locals buy parking permits for each of their cars. The locals discover that the ordinance allows them to buy additional parking tags for visitors. They then turn around and sell those tags to people who want to visit the state fair and make some money.
Pols are not amused.
Why do these wreckers go against the spirit of the law?
City Councils suck.
I actually worked with a startup that was all about connecting people with periodically empty spaces to rent them to people needing parking. College town limited parking, freshmen not allowed cars on campus. They did modestly well, and were expanding into more markets.
When I lived in Tallahassee, our place was very close to the stadium and had a huge corner yard. We made great money selling parking, hot dogs, and draft beer during FSU home games.
Yup. And in the app generation world, being able to reserve a spot, single use or repeat, and pay for it was pretty attractive.
“They saw it as an opportunity and took advantage,” he said. But “it goes against the spirit of the intent.”
Ban arbitrage!
Maybe if they ban arbitrage they can make markets inefficient enough that central planning can compete!
This is probably going to hurt him more than anything Trump says.

Bloomberg is a giant POS, but the left call everyone a racist so much that it’s completely lost meaning.
“It was one of the most racist policies I’ve ever lived through that deeply impacted the entire city.
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) February 13, 2020”
Yeah right, Karla Marx, you ‘lived’ through it. Just stop already, you’re stupid enough as it is.
That’s true but he’s running for the Democrat ticket so it will probably work.
They would be perfectly happy with stop’n’frisk if it was applied with the correct racial quotas in mind.
But then they wold be Republicans.
Or Democrats pushing “mandatory buybacks”.
I don’t know about your neck of the woods but amongst those NYC residents I know, the only folk who didn’t like the impact stop & frisk had on street crime were those who would have spent a couple days in Rikers had they been stopped and frisked. However, the police officers of my acquaintance have told me that the policy’s true purpose was to get more people into the city’s CompStat system (upon arrest, NYPD tends to go through one’s phone) so as to build an extensive database of the population. I find this far more egregious than any statistical ethnic disparity.
Yeah, the fact that crime continued to steadily go down for years after stop’n’frisk was dramatically reduced tells me it didn’t play the role in reducing crime its adherents claim.
Well duh, SnF got all the senior criminals locked up where they couldn’t teach their trade to the next generation!

I’m so sorry Bob. I can’t imagine your pain but I wish I could carry it for you.
Aghhhh, it Hurts…..
I’m sorry, Bob. My prayers and condolences.
So sorry for your loss, Bob. My deepest condolences.
Oh so sorry.
Condolences to you. 🙁
So sorry.
My condolences.
I am so sorry to hear that. My heartfelt condolences Bob.
We’re here for ya.
Sorry man. We’re all here for anything you need. I’ve seen it before. This is a group of weirdos, but they’re all really good people.
Oh Yusef, I’m so sorry
So sorry.
I’m sorry.
I am sorry for your loss Bob. My best wishes to you and Bella.
I’m very sorry to hear that. Please be sure to let everyone here know if there’s anything any of us can do.
I just saw this. Bob, I am so sorry. Please please please know that. r. Mojeaux and I (yes, he has been kept apprised all this time) are praying for you.
I am so sorry Yusef.
So sorry. She was lucky to have you.
I read something about that Bloomberg stop-n-frisk thing earlier, and it said those “bad neighborhood” comments were made at the Aspen Institute, which makes me think it was more likely than not the same Aspen Institute talk he gave where he said something on the order of no black man under the age of 35(?) should ever be allowed to own a gun.
No
black
man
Some people might look at that as an egregiously racist thing to say, but nobody has brought it up.
I’m going to just say the people who are all so ostentatiously butthurt about stop-n-frisk would be perfectly okay with it, if it hadn’t devolved into an exercise in numbers-padding and bullshit low level marijuana possession busts, and had just been a “reasonable restriction” on firearm possession in NYC.
Well it’s certainly an excellent example of the racist roots of gun control.
Nono NO!!!!
and no one around me….
My Dog knows,
Man, I’m sorry, Yusef. Hopefully, she’s at peace, now.
She was tired, now she rests with the Lord…
Really sad to hear about your loss.
So sorry Bob.
Oh, man. So sorry to hear that.
Her troubles are over; she is released. Hang in there, my friend.
What makes you tick?
I’m self-winding.
I feel like total asshole for making that comment right now.
I feel like total asshole for making that comment right now.
We’re all bozos on this bus.

Bob knows we love him.
As I wrote in the morning links, some of us are mean sobers.
More seriously though, a lot of the dark cynicism and Don Rickles-like zingers I throw out are my way of dealing with what has always been a fairly painful shyness and social anxiety.
Intent matters. Never seen you act maliciously.
YOUR MOMMA WEARS COMBAT BOOTS
Some of those songs, though..
Reality, read what OZY wrote,
Feelings? I’m a fucking mess kids, this is a fucking hard hit, Rollercoaster emotions, but not Suicide!
I’m not going anywhere,
You help me out Glibs!
I’m not being callus, am I? telling you guys about my Wife’s passing?
You are my friends, and you need to know, IMO
Why would that be callous? You need to get it off your chest and it’s very sad. We are (mostly) sympathetic ears, vent away.
This.
Talking it out (or typing) is healthy. I’ve had too much experience with mourning over the past few years.
When the wound is a little less fresh, we’ll talk about the process of grief.
Not callous at all. Gotta let it out.
That’s how special this place is. You have friends here even if we’ve never physically met. We’re all wishing we could do more to help than type kind words.
🙁
Aw, fuck.
I’m so sorry for you, mang.
Say whatever you want brother. We are all here for you.
When my mom passed away last year, this was the best place to let out some of the things I felt. Just go ahead and vent as much as you want.
I wish I could do more. It sucks so much to lose someone you love.
It’s not callous, you’re sharing with friends. I hope doing so helps alleviate the pain.
We have gotten to know you and through you to know her. Of course you should tell us.
We’re family, Bob. We love you. Talk as often and openly as you want. Rant, rave, hurl personal insults, doesn’t matter right now. We all feel for you and will forgive you anything.
I know that might not mean much right now, but we’re here if you need us.
Beer for working late.
At 10% ABV?? That’s beer for *trying* to work late, and failing to get anything done.
I got a few things done. I have a system up and running trying to duplicate a bug.
I always get too cavalier if I’ve drunk too much and try to work late, then I do things like get into the production database and make live updates. Or blow caches when we’re at over 10k rpm. No caution.
+1 or 2 drunken production releases at 3AM
That “Mayhem” “I’m your big rambunctious puppy in the car” ad came on a few minutes ago. I didn’t even realize it the first fifty times I saw it, but I guess the girl driving the car is Tina Fey. After due consideration of this new information… I’d still lick her face.
Is it true that they cut the original plan to have him sniff her crotch?

I’m calling people I think should know, and I’m getting Shit responses.
That really bites. Assholes.
So many people are wildly uncomfortable with death, and don’t know how to respond to the news. What comes out of their mouths may not be anything like what they really mean. Awkwardness in the face of death is a thing.
Can confirm.
Sorry.
Trump appointing his kids to jobs in the White House is unbelievably corrupt, but it’s just fine for Biden to look the other way while his kid was gifted sweetheart deals in countries with which he was diplomatically entangled? At this point I’m no longer asking for consistency, just for a level of hypocrisy within the normal bounds.
I don’t know what to do with her body, Cremation is our wish, but I don’t have the money, or any clue as to what to do, I’m Lost and alone, any tips?
Bob, I want to call you. How do I make that happen?
Another GoFundme for the money?
For the cremation, maybe someone at the hospital can help?
This. Somebody in the hospital morgue can help?
They’ll hold her until Yusef can make arrangements.
And if they give you any shit, let me know. TPTB have my email. I talk hospitalese, so I can sort it out.
GoFundMe, repost the PayPal link. Whatever. We got this, bro. You don’t need to worry about that.
^
I can’t help much, but send a link and I’ll do what I can.
When my father in law died, we cremated his remains as well. We went through a funeral home, which handled all the paperwork and arrangements for around $1k, although pricing will surely vary depending on your location.
