Starting at 0030 PDT Friday morning, just a few short hours from now, the site will be offline for 6-8 hours while we perform some significant server work to address the late unpleasantness.
As you all know, the recent cowering in place orders have resulted in a rapid and drastic increase in our site traffic. When the tech support folk and I started looking into the issues early last week, the site had already received over 200,000 page views for the month. The server capacity we’ve slowly been adding over the last three years is no longer sufficient to handle the influx. Frankly, when this whole Glib experiment started, I don’t think TPTB imagined that we’d still be here and going strong 3+ years later. I certainly didn’t.
We’ve now had nearly 4700 posts (articles) published and are just about at 1.5 million comments. All y’all talk a LOT. 😉
I’m hopeful that this upcoming work will go a long way toward ameliorating the issues, although it may not be a complete fix since there is just no way to project the traffic we will receive going forward. We’ll keep evaluating and see what needs to happen.
All that said, there are no guarantees in life and especially here at Glib HQ. Projects like this tend to have unforeseen issues, so don’t expect us to be back tomorrow until you see us!
Thanks to everyone for making this little community a wild success. Thanks to those who have been able and inclined to throw a few bucks toward keeping the lights on around here. It’s appreciated.
Also, Open Post!
Are there increased costs associated with this?
I’ll start a Change.org petition if they even think about it.
^ not this
Be the change you believe in, Jarflax.
SP, need donations?
^this
Yes, happy to chip in if there are any increased costs associated with fixing capacity. Glibs is too important to my sanity to see it go down!
I agree. Off to look for my gold coins
It is more than my sanity. TPTB have given so many an international forum to have my say. On more than one occasion I think that has made a difference. Despite my endless mediocre blathering I do occasionally manage to put a nugget out there.
I am very grateful. When before in the history of mankind has someone like me had such an opportunity to be heard? Never, that’s when.
Tucker Carlson is on now. More than half of the stories he talked about were posted here as links in comments and his take was remarkably similar to opinions expressed here. I am beginning to suspect (sticking with my long-time shtick) that he or his research staff probably read this site.
More than a few and longer than just on Glibs, Suthen.
You are too kind Mojeaux. I have to confess without naming names that other much smarter commenters here have shaped my ideas and opinions a great deal over the years and most of what I say is merely a regurgitation of those.
Smarter than myself I mean.
Years ago at TOS the subject of IQ tests came up and I expressed a complete lack of confidence in those tests. I had taken a test in college and my score was much higher than I thought it should be. I didn’t tell the score because I didnt want to sound like I was bragging. Later in the conversation some others gave their scores. I thought ” Oh shit. I am glad I didnt give mine, I would feel like an idiot.”
Having talked to those people for so long now the scores they touted are completely believable.
I love this place. I have learned more here than I did at university.
I am intimidated by everyone here and every time I open my mouth, I know I’m going to reveal my stupidity, but I talk because I can’t keep my trap shut.
Oh C’mon, the more you talk the more I like.
?
Suthenboy: My IQ tests have always put me in the 99% percentile. You know what it means? I’m really good at solving logic problems and have fairly good spacial awareness. I’m well aware that I’m not one in a million, by definition I’m one in a hundred. After dealing with Mensa for a year (it lowered my car insurance at the time), I’m really not interested in going back.
I always stop for Suthentime.
My supervisor/mentor is a Louisiana expat who walked out of the office on a Friday telling his drafter pool he’d see them Monday “Unless the hurricane turns,” and never saw them again. (I may be guessing about the weekdays, I can’t remember what he told me.) He flipped the bird to Louisiana and relocated to New Mexico. His old house is a green piece of patch in a sparsely recovered suburb of New Orleans. He talks a lot about his boyhood there.
Speaking of, we’ve been following this story since it’s his backyard and our line of work…
Louisiana have a lot of things going for it but N.O. aint one of them. That city is very atypical for the state.
I moved one parish north about ten years ago. I was afraid to let anyone know about my former gun collection for fear of…well several reasons. Then I met a few people and the subject came up. Holy crap. The count here is an average of 48 guns per person. It is the most heavily armed jurisdiction in the country…depending on who you ask. My former collection is not remarkable at all given my neighbor’s.
Outside N.O. the average Louisianian is a very sensible person who just wants to be left alone to make their own way. I suspect much of flyover country is the same sans the urban areas.
Your mentor didnt need to run so far. He could have stayed where there are still crawfish boils and the fishing’ is good..
*Crawfish are good in months with an R in it. I think wife and I should go one more time before April slips away.
Sorry Suthen, but NOLA > JRTC. 😉
I am angling for a hangover that makes weekend me blush. I’m on the manic upswing from an as-yet undiagnosed condition. I feel very confident that whatever we confront in the coming weeks, it can’t be as bad as what we’ve faced in the heretofore weeks. I don’t know that it’s a peak or even an inflection point, but I do know that when I wake up tomorrow, cursing the fact that I’m awake and damning the sun for rising, it’ll be with a renewed sense of
oh, there’ll be no more Glibs to post to until Tuesday or whenever.
*silent angry screaming commences*
IMNSHO, New Orleans is a fun place to visit, but it’s hardly representative of Louisiana. Also, ate a bunch of crawfish last week from a local joint…they were yummy. Might have to get more food from them soon.
Good luck vanquishing the gremlins!

Good video but I’m missing the connection to (((us))).
A 1950’s manufacture Colt 1911 chambered in 38 super showed up in my old gun shop hangout. The fit, finish and workmanship was top shelf and the gun was in NIB condition. It was about 10% smaller in frame size than the 45 ACP’s and perfect for concealed carry. I almost had an orgasm on the spot but I cried instead when I read the tag. Unfortunately the price was more than a little bit prohibitive.
Didn’t Massad Ayoob carry one of those? Anyway, if you want a 38 super 1911, you might want to check places frequented by Mexicans. They are popular there, because military rounds are illegal in Mexico.
The Deep State has infiltrated this website!
Also, thank you SP. ?
Thanks for all you do SP and the rest of TPTB. You have created a great place to chillax.
I started using a VPN right around when these shenanigans started. It slowed my superfast internet to merely tolerable. The server I hook to is overwhelmed in these trying times. I am not sure I want to keep the service or if it matters for tracking and whatnot.
It does not. Especially since you didn’t change your handle after beginning use of a VPN- they already know who you are.
I am not talking about here. Ya, I am pretty well established here. I thought there were other tracking issues blah blah blah. Fuck if I know. It was cheap and it sucks. I was getting worried my ISP would redflag me for all the pornhub visits. And some well, some search terms.
Search terms: “how to destroy Denver from Grand Junction” “are denver hookers better looking than Grand Junction hookers?” “Are penguins really birds?” “I’m not saying it was aliens memes” “does dandelion wine get you drunk?”
Looking at those numbers reminds me I need to contribute again.
I encourage everyone else to do so as well.
I loathe paypal. If I could send a check somewhere, I’d happily do so.
look at the Contribute page, Numbnuts…

The donate on takes me to paypal. Help a brother out?
I understood “contribute” to mean write posts.
I thought it was contribute due to increased server costs. /drinking
You’re both correct!
Drop me a note and I will give you the mailing address for the Board. The Foundation obviously has real bank accounts and such.

For those who ask, btw, Brave is still having issues with their verification not recognizing us. I hope that will not be the case always!
Do you have a Venmo?
Thanks, and best of luck, SP 🙂
Oh fuck me, Valerie Plame is running for Congress in New Mexico. Her TV spot sounds like a scene from Amazon’s neutered Jack Ryan series. Fucking carpetbaggers.
Is she the one Grandpa Stinkfinger had against the wall?
She’s the poor super secret clandestine CIA agent that was outed by those evil bastards in the Bush administration, lol. You can clearly see how badly her career was harmed by it.
In fairness, reduced to campaigning in New Mexico…
Actually, years and years ago I had a friend who was heavily involved in OFA and the local Democrat Party tell me that New Mexico is a proving ground for national politics, which sounds to me like something local party officials tell their subordinates and volunteers all over the country. Yes, Boise too is the proving ground for national politics. I don’t know why we don’t see the president visiting our Anne Frank memorial* more often.
*yes I just googled top sights to see in Boise**, I’m not ashamed to admit
**no, I’m not going to google whether presidents actually stop in to see the Ann Frank memorial
So for, like, forever, NM knew that we were a small-power state. The think was that we would elect one D and one R senator so that we would always have some representation in DC. That all changed around the turn of the century and NM has headed hard blue.
I don’t understand it, but I don’t follow local politics. Does it put the lie to the idea of Hispanics being “natural conservatives”, or does it put the lie to the idea that people who talk about Hispanics being “natural conservatives” were ever really conservative themselves? Or is New Mexico a basketcase like the rest of the country, lying to itself about its solvency and hoping the rest of the country can bail us out?
Gay Jay was govenor bot that long ago, when he was a Republican. I lived in T. or C. for a few years, and think the state is more purplish… and the Democrats are more like old timey Democrats- not socialist wannabes.
I voted for Gary both times. I’m ultra-pissed that he did his presidential campaign (which he was destined to lose) instead of a run for the senate (which he surely would have won.)
You’re right that we’re not hard-core blue yet.
I still loathe Tom Udall.
The turn from purplish to blue has been really unpleasant. Hope the pendulum swings back but I’m not betting on it.
Probably. She’s the one who continues fingering Scooter Libby for being outed as a CIA
assetpencil-pusher. She had a claim to fame under the last debil president and now she’s running against the current debil president for pardoning her longtime persecutorRichard ArmitageCheney’s old chief of staff.I don’t do local politcs well enough to know what her chances are, but it seems like a thin reed for candidacy. It seems like Gary Johnson-esque professional candidacy.
So Cheney fingered her. Got it!
Wasn’t Johnson actually a successful businessman in NM before he ran for Governor? I’d give Johnson way more credit than a former government leech.
I think so, but professional candidacy is about being a has-been running for office with no real intention to win, not necessarily those wanting to be or having been office-holders. I don’t begrudge anyone wanting to leech off the government tit, in fact we don’t pay them enough to go away rather than govern. Someone has to hold the office, but go away. It should be like bribing the highwaymen to not pillage us, but giving them a stake, a reason to run off other highwaymen who want to pillage us.
Could we pay them to go away? Or would it be like any other blackmailer, asking for just one more drop or they’ll [implement x rule]?
GayJay also was a triathlete, which is pretty impressive.
And he climbed Everest
Wow. I may have known that. Very impressive.
But then he got high.
Anybody with enough money can climb Everest. I’ll give a fuck when he does K2.

31 wins, easily. 32 is the bunny boiler – the fuck is wrong with her eyes?
I’ve always had a deep attraction to redheads. My boy’s mom is a redhead.
I’ve wished I were a true redhead since I was, like 13 years old. I have to settle for henna.
My boy’s older sister was about 5 when he was conceived; she was my little buddy. She’s a gorgeous little redhead now, mid to late 20s, and she just dyed her beautiful red hair black. Sigh. Children are stoopid.
Shave her head, then let it grow out again properly!
Well, she’s technically an adult, being around 27/28. So, if I shaved her head it would be battery, kidnapping, etc. So, I’ll let her make her own mistakes, and tell her how cool her new hair is.
I missed that on first reading. I guess people gotta make their own mistakes. If I had naturally red hair, I totally wouldn’t bother coloring it, though.
If I had hair, I wouldn’t bother coloring it, either.
RC: I gave shit to a coworker who actually dyes his beard.
You’re a hennarincess, like Lucy Ricardo!
I am, and that’s one of the few silver linings about the lockdown. No one has to see my orange hairline until I’ve managed to wash it all out. It’s getting to about time for a refresh.
Thanks SP! and thanks to TPTB for keeping our house open, I’d be dead without Y’allins…..
When the Board allocates the donations of the extra monies each year, they try to keep a reserve on hand that would pay the basic bills for the upcoming year, just in case. This current upgrade shouldn’t result in a significant monthly increase, but if we have to continue to do so, it would about double our costs. For now, we should be good.
Thanks, all!
Do we need a Studs of Glibertarians calendar sale to drive up revenue?
I would be happy to contribute a photo but that would drive sales down.
Don’t be so sure… there was an outfit in NY that did the sexy taxi drivers of NYC (spoiler alert: most were NOT sexy) for a number of years. They graced my garage wall until they stopped.
I remember those. That was some good tongue-in-cheek.
I loved them. I especially loved the number of confused looks and dropped jaws I’d getting for keeping that sort of beefcake on my office wall.
Yeah….10 years ago it might have worked.
Ill run the booth at the LP convention, selling our CafePress stuff. And calendars- ” The Men of Libertarianism”
Women of libertarianism would sell better… but we all know that there aren’t any…
Once again, I was watching Stanhope.
“You were born free, got fucked out of half of it, and now you wave around a flag celebrating it.”
He is amazing.
There are probably just enough of us Gliberinas for a calendar, and lots and lots of dudeglibs… hm… I sense opportunity.
Girls?
lol, if any of the other female glibs are non-mythical, I’ll contribute a pic. I just don’t promise recency.
If recency is not an issue, here.
Then here’s mine, at 24.
Is that from your Kodak Disc camera? 😉
The brunette, not the blonde.
Ugh, threading. My question was aimed at Mo.
I was doing stupid shit at that age.
I’m rereading all of John Allison’s Scary Go Round webcomic, and that’s going to mean nothing to any of you, although it is, in fact, a very enjoyable and articulate series, but that picture is entirely apropos of something I’d expect from his work.
It was a disposable camera. Trying to take a selfie without making it look like a selfie when selfies weren’t cool and hoping it turned out okay is much harder than you think!
Mojeaux: it still looks like you! I showed the picture of me at my sister’s wedding to my GF, and she was shocked. Said she wouldn’t even recognize me.
Good for you, still looking good after all these years!
@Lemmon: it looks like the time and place I might have been just off camera, wondering how to ask you out.
@DenverJ eventually I settled down, and will be celebrating my 15th anniversary next month. Found myself another libertarian pothead with similar life goals, and yes, I feel smug about it.
LOL Love it.
HOLY MACKEREL! The seated gentleman with the wee pompadour had me looking again several times to make sure it wasn’t me. Dead ringer for me in my 20s.
ha, @l0b0t I begged that guy to dance with me so many times, and he always refused. So if it was you, ha!
@lemon isn’t life great?
I’m down, sister.
I am thinking bake sale.
Mmm… pot brownies… mmm mmm mmm good.
My homemade brownies will be a hit! Just don’t share with the kiddos!
I’m willing to show my penis.
You misunderstand. We are trying to bring money in.
Love your willingness to be a team player.
Meh, it was done at last LP convention.
How does that work? We call people up and say donate $50 or we’ll hang the calendar where you can see it?
If my shingles goes away I volunteer to do lighting.
i’ll stick with cash, I know what you guys are capable of…
Better to charge not to have one.
‘Donate now or we’re sending you pictures of The Hyperbole shirtless”
Hell, I’d send in money to not have to look at that. *shudders*

Tbh I wanted to say “something from Nolan’s Batman” but I like those films too much, even if they are, in fact, dumb cartoon movies.
And this is why there is no dealing with these people short of force. Their most basic premises are the inverse of liberty minded people. They are happy to live a safe life on their knees and they cant understand people who would rather crawl off in a ditch and starve than wear chains.

Some good news.
That’s good to hear. Whew!
What are chances of it winning?
Oh fuck yes. I went through the background check for ammo once here and it literally took me longer than the purchase of a firearm here (without having to return to the store of course). The amount of bullshit that went into it was ridiculous. We need to push back on this stuff. It wasn’t that long ago that California was fairly middle of the road as far as gun rights in the US.
It’s been a while (a very long while actually), but I remember riding my Schwinn through the middle of San Leandro with my .22 strapped to my back.
Well, how about that? Just checked the Google and the range is still there!
Thanks SP!
Moar fun with subtitles. These press conferences are getting weirder. (Can edit if you find a mistake).

I’ve got 4 days of ‘work’, 3 days off, 2 days of ‘work’ then I’m laid off again! Thanks PANIC! I still haven’t gotten approval for the last two weeks I was laid off because of I’m also self-employed and that makes government heads explode. Not to mention the IRS website says ‘We don’t fucking know’ when I enquire about my Trump Bux (TM). I’m that guy that gets screwed over every time. Fun times.
Sorry to hear, man.
The ‘we don’t fucking know’ about the Trump checks, I’ve been getting that for so long now, I don’t even bother checking anymore. I just assume I’m not getting it, because FYTW or something like that.
Between my self-employment and my under-employment the last 3 years I averaged $12,000. Finally got a job that paid me well and the government shut it down. Stabby stabby…

“Starting at 0030 PDT Friday morning”
What the fuck is PDT? No one has ever heard of it! What about the real time, I mean EST?
A timezone that includes DC cannot possibly be American.
So, SanFran and Portlandia? OK.
I hate calculating timezones, but my drunk ass tells me that since PDT is 3 hours earlier than EST, that means glibs goes dark on Eastern around 3:30am. I think I’ll survive that.
You mean you don’t care if you’re still up, drunk, and clicking 3 times, then waiting every time you try to post something? Get out of here!
I actually solved that problem a few days ago. I’m using Canary, and installed tampermonkey for the first time, then installed Monocle, and then enabling then disabling the dynamic comments refresh, all my Glibs commenting problems went away. And yes, I know that’s a convoluted fix. So now I’m just challenged by the math when on four beers.
How quaint.
I had four beers before breakfast. Not really, but it sounds manly and stuff.
I lost count of how many beers I had in the morning when I woke up and banged your Mom.
Well, my mom passed away a couple of years ago, so you’re a pretty sick puppy. And probably a fag.
Ooof, @Brochettaward, if you banged my mom you deserve the beers. She’s 65, and happily married, so I assume there would have been a struggle.
Yeah, the alcohol is affecting your calculation. EST is two hours ahead of PDT. EDT is three hours ahead of PDT.
See, and I gave myself an out due to the beer consumption. Yay me.
I thought central time was the one true time zone.
STFU, deplorable!
It is God’s true time.
We should all just move to GMT and call it good. One time to rule them all. Then I have to do less math when testing (which I generally do sober, I swear!)
Is there somewhere in GMT that doesn’t have the NHS? : (
I’m actually used to it, because I have a co-worker I meet with a couple of times a week who lives in Portlandia.
One of my most memorable work experiences ever was a little time after I first started working with him and we were just chatting before working on some stuff, I said ‘You ever see that show ‘Portlandia’?’. After a long pause when I started wondering if I had offended the guy or something, he laughs and says ‘There really are people like that here!’. I was totally shocked to hear that.
You ever see a group of people in your neighborhood, at a venue, say a restaurant, looking totally lost and wearing llama fur slippers will tassels and boggins with tassels in the middle of the summer? Those are Portlandians.
lol. Doesn’t matter how many years I’ve worked for my company or how many times I’ve explained I’m based in VA. Our west coast editors will still ping me at midnight without shame. Time zones? What time zones? Your light is on bitch, so fix my funky embed code.
No kidding. I just assume it’s day for you when it’s night for me. Close enough.
Last Sat night it was almost day here when I was about to fall off my chair. I don’t remember who knows how much of that conversation.
You’re the kind of drunk we love. You just sucked it up and didn’t get your dander up.
I am not big on dander. I got that out of the system when I was 18/19.
/hides that half his job involves time zone conversions.
My sympathies. I do a lot of time zone conversion in my testing and I hate it. Especially daylight savings time. Could we all just move to epoch already and call it good? I know it’d take a while for everyone else to learn to read it, but consistency would cut about 25% of my work day out.
Westernsloper- you asked about recovery and detectability in the last thread. My understanding is that detectable samples have been found up to almost 2 weeks after symptoms cease. That’s not the same thing as the person is infectious (viral shedding rates & progression, pathogen load necessary to achieve infection are still not understood) and it’s possible that the positive samples are due to inert residual RNA debris.
Ok, thanks. I wish they would state we don’t know but they don’t and I have no idea how they figure that out. This damn thing is really pissing me off. We have constant stats and CO is not being exactly honest with theirs. Nobody knows who is infecting anybody else and from where I sit it doesn’t really fucking matter because for the vastest of the vast majority of people this thing is pretty much a minor inconvenience in a persons life kind of like every other time we have gotten the flu throughout our lives. Granted there were some huge mistakes in the one area that has increased the body count the most and that is old folks homes which I will bitch about later. Right now I am just pissed they fucked the country over this.
From my prog sister-in-law, it’s clear. With this or climate change, we’re just too dumb to know what the raw numbers mean, so we can’t know that. We need educated people to interperate the data before we can see it. It’s #science you dumb motherfucker.
It is very similar. They post daily cases, never recovered. They post hospitalized, never released. They count everything as a Vid death etc………The Data says it all!
A day or two ago the state health department, er health authority, said oh by the way we did some follow ups and turns out 1/3 of the total cases have recovered already. Thanks guys.
Ya, that is what I am talking about. I had to search out other State stats sites to find out the hospitalized number is cumulative and the actual number is less than half that. They are pushing fear.
I am going to become a preacher so I don’t have to work.
Preach it, bro! Faar and brimstone!

Thanks for doing this, SP. I’ll miss the Breakfast Club folks tomorrow morning – the ones who wander in during the last couple of hours before AM Lynx. I really enjoy chatting with them as I sip my morning coffee and contemplate regaining consciousness before heading to work. I’ll endeavor to persevere and look forward to seeing you all again ASAP. As many have said, this is my oasis of sanity in a crazy world.

“Disclaimer: my forebears came from Indiana and Iowa”
OMG, it’s worse than I imagined.
I’m one of those Buckeyes from Cincy, so I get it. Tres is probably lying, I bet he’s from Middletown. And the whole Indiana thing, yeah I lived there too. I finally escaped, but not to paradise.
I grew up in Dayton but did some hard time in Indiana during the previous marriage – Fort Wayne, Richmond, and Muncie.
Oh fuck, get out of here! I lived near Fort Wayne for 15 years. Muncie, lol, the asshole of the Midwest? What about Hartford City? Does anyone really know anyone who is from there, or lives there? Or is it one of those mysterious places on the map that doesn’t really exist?
Richmond, you getting all way down south on us there, girl.
It’s worse than that – in Richmond, I was living on campus at Earlham College – home of the Hustlin’ Quakers! – while my then-hubby was a residence hall adviser.
When I was in my teens, we used to hang out a lot near Miami U in Oxford. I was living NW of Cincy then, not too far from there. I saw and experienced some of the craziest shit I ever have in my life during that time. The stories I can tell about that… I can’t believe I’m still alive.
Miami U is my alma mater. I could tell stories too….if I could remember what happened. #Uptown SaturdayNight

This also brings back my time from Indiana. There was an ongoing joke that everyone who lived in the town I lived in, in North Central Indiana was from Prestonsburg or Paintsville, KY or their parents were.
The funny thing being that it was actually true and if you brought that up, they would get extremely agitated. ‘I ain’t one those hillbillies, I’m a sophisticated Indiana person!’. So you could troll them to no end of amusement with that. I mean, really, it was the only thing to do for entertainment.
My maternal grandfather was from Hillisburg, just a little ways north of Kokomo, IIRC.
“briar” is our n-word.
We also call Bell Peppers “mangos”
“We also call Bell Peppers “mangos”’
Goddamnit, stop that! Don’t get me started!
Fuck… that ain’t hillbilly.
Talk to me when you know where Wershington is.
Tejicano and I will be hardest hit. *Cheers* Let’s make it through these trying times with grace and dignity.
There’s a breakfast club?
Now I want a brefast burrito.
Sausage, green, thank you… zzzzz..
Nothing formal – I use that for lack of a better term. A few international folks and EDT early birds who can’t wait for the next batch of links. (SOME people – and I’m not naming names – are fond of posting their own links.)

I did not know that that guy wrote this song. I used to be a Parrot Head.
Ten time Country Music Association winner of their “Musician of the Year” award.
Writer of #1 hits for several country acts, including Sawyer Brown and Kenny Chesney.
Sixteen albums of his own.
Plays small venues with a drummer when he’s not backup for a national act.
Will stick around for hours after a show to chat, do photos, and sign autographs. He’s that rare virtuoso who likes people but doesn’t care for the spotlight.
Here’s a song that he plays alongside Jimmy (sorry for the horrible vid quality).
Glad to see escaped unscathed. No one cares about me. Cool Beans.
I care! I just didn’t have anything useful to say unless you, perhaps, do node.js development?
I don’t do the node thing. But I do a lot of JS. A lot of it on an object oriented database. That’s an interesting pain in the ass.
I didn’t sleep my way to the top! I mean, I did sleep around, but…

Kolsch going into the fermenter. I’ve made 160 bottles of beer during quarantine so far. Boredom.
Boredom has really set in when you’ve drank them faster than you can make them.
I ordered 3 more cases of beer today. I don’t know why. My beer cabinet is full and the beer fridge is full, and now those are sitting in the foyer and my wife is like ‘why’d you buy more beer? What are you going to do with that?’. Fuck. I’m not going to run out of beer anytime soon, that’s for sure.
Better to have it and not wonder where you’ll get it next, than to be out of it and wonder where you’ll find it. Which is why I have 10lbs of whole bean coffee in the kitchen and am about to order another 10lbs.
We usually drink that Cafe Bustelo brand you can buy at Walmart, I think it’s from Mexico. When we’re out of Brazilian coffee. And now we’re out since we can’t go there and no one in the family can come here. You can buy the best quality coffee there dirt cheap with dollars.
Anyway, the Cafe Bustelo, it’s decent quality coffee in hard times and the wife bought like 6 lbs of it.
I have some Blue Mountain Jamaican I bought at Fresh Market, but it’s almost gone.
I’ve been shopping from Larry’s Coffee (formerly Larry’s Beans) for years. I’m especially a fan of their Mightier Mocha Java, Grand Turk and Malabar XXX blends, and since I see a lot of those are out of stock (damn the global supply chain instability) ordering more coffee right now.
My imaginary version of Hyperion.
Over 14 days for my last order of green coffee beans, the usual delivery time is two days.
Ouch. That’s why I’m ordering well in advance of when I’ll actually run out. I could probably go at least another month on my existing supply.
“What are you going to do with that?’“
Uh, drink it?
Don’t be stingy. Take one down and pass it around.
Today a truck passed me with on his back window.
I see quite a few of those around the Springs.
Not reading all the comments at this point, but reach out if all y’all need any financial support for the hosting and shite.

Good morning gliberati. First Friday working in more than a month.
Damn it worked no refresh or nothin
Nope just a weird one time worked
Good morning, Pie! I should be going to bed soon, since it’s almost midnight my time.
Three and a half hours from now.
Ok kids, a piece of the best lasagna I have ever made is warm now so I have to go watch some movie and go into a lasagna coma. Next time I make this I am substituting the lasagna noodles for whole green chiles laid flat. Then it will be low carb and even better.
Trade up to pick a QB in the first round? I mean, sure Rodgers fell to us and he got picked, but trade up to get Jordan Love?! when the team was in the NFC championship game and a 1 WR could put them on top!? Rogers is asshole. But fuck this shit. Jordon Love didn’t fall to GB like Rogers, they fucking moved up to get him to actively fuck over the team. (Also, Rogers got passed over for Utah QB Alex Smith, now they gambol the teams future on a Utah QB?! feels like they want to piss the limp ferry off.)
Since you already noted his homosexuality, I’ll refrain from noting that he’s a homosexual.
I think what this says is that Matt LaFleur didn’t much like working with Rogers.
I don’t a flying fuck if he liked working with him. I don’t like working with the people I work with either.

2 and 4.
I think we can all agree 2 has much nicer shaped breasts than 1
4 is lying down but as far as I can tell breast order is from best to worst 4, 2, 3, 1
It might be 2 4 3 1 though
Out standing in her field.
Alright all, I’m heading to bed. I’ll try to be around for the afternoon threads tomorrow. If there is a request for a Virtual Happy Hour, I’ll set one up.

“The Pennsylvania Department of Health slashed the state’s COVID-19 death toll on Thursday by 201, saying probable deaths it had previously included in the count were eliminated after further investigation.”
New York will take them.
Time to get ready for work and ignore Wolf’s stay at home/nonessential bullshit.
Fuck Tom Wolf.
Looks like new comments are dropping into moderation, but the 50x errors are gone.
Testing, testing.
glibertarians.com gives a server error. Will see if I can post to this thread.
So I can post to this old thread but the site itself continues to give “Server not found” errors.
Will fiddle a bit more.
