If this seems shallow and dashed off it’s because it is. I almost forgot to write this week’s GlibFit. My parents are coming over, wifey has been passive aggressive about helping to get ready, and I’m behind on grocery shopping. Luckily for you, the thought of SP’s rusty tin can lid collection frightened me into writing something.
This was my first full week back at the gym since the shutdown. My gym requires customers to make an appointment no more than 24 hours in advance. Strangely, I have no trouble getting a spot at 5 AM. I’m pretty certain gym attendance is down from pre-pandemic levels. I have no idea why. I figured people would be psyched to be back. Go figure.
The bad news is I am one sore m*****f*****. I was cautious about how much weight I loaded for deadlifts and squats. Most major muscle groups are doing okay. It’s small muscles, like my lower back, that are feeling it.
The good news is I made it to the gym three days and did three days of conditioning. Admittedly, my conditioning was lighter than it had been to compensate for the lifting. Still, it’s progress and I’m feeling pretty good. Other good news includes managing to keep my pullup numbers where they were even though I was doing them well into my workout. I even caught a hint of lats in the mirror this morning. *swoon*
My plan for the coming week is to increase the conditioning to get back to more or less where I was before my gym reopened. We’ll see how that goes.
I doubt I’ll be able to do more than check in once or twice this afternoon. I’m hoping dad likes the booze I bought him. Have a great Father’s Day everyone.
I had hoped to come up with an awesome rock song for today. Good lord the pickings are slim. I’m sure one of you was expecting Everclear’s Father of Mine or Harry Chapin’s Cat’s in the Cradle. I’m not here to unnecessarily depress you. This is as good as I could find and I admit it isn’t very good.
OT: I caught Tres Cool’s midweek rant about BLM. Tres declared No Lives Matter. Couldn’t agree more.
To keep my workouts going, I’ve been getting into the saddle on weekends (and decent evenings), scheduling spin classes for days where rain is predicted (I feel bad suspending my subscription right after they open back up), and going back to playing Ring Fit Adventure (laugh all you want, the gamification helps me). I’ve gotten back to calorie counting during the week, aiming for under 1,500 calories. Finally the weight trend line is bending back down after the lockdown (it was flat for the past couple weeks). Now that VA, MD, and PA all look to be opening up, I’m trying to figure out the best time to schedule a 330 mile, multi-day bike ride through those states.
On the lighter side, there’s a shirt I’m tempted to order that says on the back: “The average cyclist: Pedals for 1,852 miles per year. Drinks 22 gallons of beer per year. That’s 84 miles per gallon.” Looking at my stats, I’m under on one of those numbers, and probably quite a bit higher on the other, so my MPG is not that good.
A friend’s kid that lives in Michigan did a cross-state ride yesterday- from somewhere near Detroit to Grand Rapids.
163 miles in something like 13.5 hours.
Many many many years ago I would do century rides, but there’s clearly something wrong with that kid.
Damn. That’s not an impossible pace, but it’s a hell of an endurance ride. I still want to get a century ride in, so far my longest is ~75.
I’ve found a decent website showing the distance and amenities in each of the trail towns for the ride I”m planning: Pittsburgh to DC (GAP and C&O canal).
I’ve got some acquaintances who are ultra-marathoners. That’s a whole other level of crazy.
Thats a lot of time (and pressure IYKWIM) in the saddle….
Then again, I think the kid is only 23.
That’s why I said a hell of an endurance ride. I’m unhappy that the spin classes still have the changing rooms closed, and while I don’t mind wearing cycling shorts in a class, I’m not showing up in a jersey too just to have pockets. I’m aiming for 30-40 miles a day, with a day break at the half way point (laundry and recovery), and then continuing on.
The question is how much will the fatigue build up over time. That’s why I’m sticking to 30-40 miles a day, even at a slow pace, that’s only about 4 hours in the saddle.
I assume you’ve long since discovered the joys of a split saddle?
Changed my (biking) life.
I don’t have a split saddle on either of my bikes. Good shorts are my usual go to. For long (40+ mile) rides, I may use some chamois butter. I’ll have to look into those.
Right now I’ve just got a road bike and a trail hybrid. I’m looking at picking up a touring bike next spring (or this fall, depending on what’s available on Craigslist).
Yeah, the split saddle allowed me to ride longer than one hour without my entire “crotchal area” (to channel my inner Archie Bunker) going numb from pressure on the perineal nerve. Shorts never helped me for that problem. I no longer regard long bike rides with fear.
Split saddle had the same (beneficial) effect for the spousal unit.
Incentives Matter: That’s a problem I haven’t had yet. I also have done far too much research on proper fit and saddle positions and the like. When I get down to my goal weight, I’m planning on scheduling a fitting with one of local bike shops that has a master fitter.
Not this for a Father’s Day song?

https://www.foxnews.com/us/seattle-bags-human-remains-shore-police-investigation
Drowning. Duh.
Yikes. Sounds like forensics labs are going to have their work cut out for them.
I recall there were several severed feet washing up on the PNW shores. They were all in tennis shoes/sneakers. Law enforcement was afraid it was another serial killer.
Turns out all the shod feet were remains of the big tsunami that had swept so many people away. The tennis shoes were only sold in Southeast Asia, and when the ankles decomposed sufficiently to detach, the feet floated up in the tennis shoes.
Better than murder, but it was a dark day indeed.
And Protestant churches across America are forced into enduring “Good, Good Father” as the Special Music, which is so cheesy I refuse to link it.
Huh…never heard of that before.
My gym requires customers to make an appointment no more than 24 hours in advance.
Yikes. That is inconvenient.
My gym has capacity capped at 50%. Personal training can start up this week.
We are supposed to wear masks while entering and exiting the gym. The staff are supposed to wear masks at all times. I haven’t seen staff not wearing masks. I have seen mixed compliance with the requirement that members wear masks while entering and exiting. The staff have said nothing to those not in compliance, or at least not that I have seen.
I talked with the staff at the front desk the other day about the various requirements the Clown Prince has imposed on gyms and the Nashua mask mandate. They are following the Clown Prince’s rules, not the Nashua rules which are stricter. They want the city and state off their backs so they can get their business back up. They think the mask mandate is stupid, but appreciate when customers wear masks around the entrance desk because it keeps the state and city off their backs.
By the way, this gym is part of a small chain which has one gym in Nashua, New Hampshire, several gyms in Massachusetts, and a few gyms in New York State. Only the Nashua, NH gym is open. They froze accounts for all members as Gauleiter Baker, Gauleiter Cuomo, and the Clown Prince forced gyms to close. Nashua was the last one to close and the first to reopen. Their business is hurting.
Attendance was down. I had no problems getting in despite the capacity cap.
Other good news includes managing to keep my pullup numbers where they were even though I was doing them well into my workout.
That’s good.
I have backed off on the pull-up program Tejicano posted. I think I did something to my right lat. It acts up a lot.
I found a scale at my gym. The one by the personal training desk, which I used to use, is gone. I guess if you use it you might get Lil Rona. There is one in the men’s locker room. Pre-Lil Rona Panic, I was 284 lbs. I am 278 lbs now. Despite eating out more to help local businesses that I want to see survive this insanity and probably drinking more, I think I lost weight because a) I don’t graze at the company snack bar anymore, b) I have actually increased my activity levels, and c) when I do eat out or get take-out, I cut back on food for the rest of the day.
It’s time to finish mowing the lawn. I have a little shade in the section of lawn I need to finish but it is still quite hot and humid out. There might be some thunderstorms coming through the area. Hopefully they hold off until after I finish mowing the lawn and after I attend a local liberty-minded group’s social in a local park.
I’m not too impressed with that remake of “Changes”. It fits for the Father’s Day theme, but I’m just impressed with what they did with the song.
I haven’t seen a full class at the spin studio I go to yet. Pre-lockdown, about a quarter of the ones I went to were booked solid (with a couple of people not showing up). My average watts have stayed pretty constant, I’ve been able to start pushing my max watts back up (I’m down about 50 watts from my peak). My average RPM is staying steady, but I think that may also be related to the fact that the studios system caps max RPM at 149 on the reports (135 on the boards). My max RPM graph is a straight line, which usually gets me called out by some of the instructors who don’t know that I’m a road rider first.
Since I’m there for road training, I’m not standing up on climbs, I’m not dropping my cadence and stepping up the difficulty (I work on upping my sustained wattage on those parts), and if you complain that if someone is sitting they need a higher cadence, I’ll bury the needle (the instructor today did that, calling me out specifically, so I kept up a ~175 RPM cadence for the minute she was pushing for).
Before I got my disc herniation diagnosis, I used to do sprints on an Airdyne bike as part of my conditioning work. I miss that. My PT has nixed trying the Airdyne bike out again.
Perhaps ask about a standard stationary? I hate the trainer at home or when traveling, but the spin classes have the stats and competition that make it enjoyable to me.
That might be OK.
I was looking for something where I could do some conditioning work involving my arms. My PT thinks anything at my gym which I could use for conditioning work involving my arms would put too much stress or compression on my back. She wants me to stay away from that until I get a little further along in my recovery.
She’s been pushing walking and stairs/Stairmaster for my conditioning/aerobic work.
Then keep in mind that most spin classes do have an arm component as well (with weights/bars, usually 4-6 pounds), usually for ~10 minutes or so as part of it. And they do try to tell you to stand during climbs and work the core with some standing positions (I usually ignore all of those).
Hopefully they hold off until after I finish mowing the lawn and after I attend a local liberty-minded group’s social in a local park.
Nope. I just got out of the shower. Thunder. Storm clouds. No rain yet, but hopefully it comes. Not going to the social.
Finally made my weight goal of 190 and occasionally a lb less. 30-35 years since I was that weight. OTOH, I’m 3 inches shorter so maybe it isn’t so much of an achievement, though I wasn’t striving to get less tall. Thanks, Chafed, even as I’m not much exercising but enjoying a summer routine, finished my wood stacking, now to clean up the mess of scraps from the splitting.
Finally made my weight goal of 190 and occasionally a lb less.
Excellent!
“I’m 3 inches shorter…”

Pencil-neck is at it again.
https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2020/06/21/schiff-trump-is-guilty-the-house-proved-him-guilty/
Literally everything he says is a distortion or fabrication.
Schiff must have been promised a nice perch in the New Democrat/progressive world order in exchange for jumping on Trump with both feet.
When the impeachment failed to turn up any evidence to remove Trump, Schiff was disposed of (which is why they picked Schiff instead of a higher profile Dem; Schiff was disposable).
Now Schiff is desperate to become relevant.
“Schiff must have been promised a nice perch in the New Democrat/progressive world order ”
Take a minute and let that sink in.
I see he is again claiming he has evidence.
The media did a great job burying the proof that Schiff had lied repeatedly about Russia in televised announcements when he knew in closed sessions that there was nothing. I guess he feels emboldened again, knowing that the MSM and its gullible believers always have his back.
Schiff looks like those sketches they drew of Luke Wilson’s character in Idiocracy. The ones of his appearance before the Supreme Court: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFG3LLxUqkY
Hi Chafed, Happy Father’s Day! Don’t work too hard, today… Glad your gym opened but it seems like a real pain..to get the workout time/quality. Mine is still closed and not sure it will ever open.
I ordered some heavy rubber bands and they got lost in transit, so I ordered them again and got both orders the same day. Yeah, half price. Anyway the workout with them is pretty rigorous and the longer the pull the greater the resistance. Doubling up the bands makes provides impressive resistance. Being creative and finding good anchorage gives a good workout. The trouble heavy bands put a lot of stress on the hands. Maybe an adapter to alleviate the hand stress is the next purchase.
Been stretching more to loosen up my back and it seems to be beneficial since my back has improved… but the stretch is g*dawful painful to get any benefit.
Keep movin’ everybody. 10K steps, 2800 cals, whatever.
Got out and did a 45 minutes walk before work every day except one, and that say I had a 7:30am call, so not bad for a first week of trying to introduce activity into my routine. I’ve been sick all weekend, so haven’t really wanted to get out and move too much, but I should be back to it in the morning. We also got the indoor gym set up, so I have a treadmill, spin bike, and weight bench with adjustable dumbbells to work in.
Upcoming week’s goal is 45 minute morning walk plus 15 minutes weights before work.
I’m also continuing on my “18 plan”, which is 18 meals per week at zero wheat carbs and zero processed sugar. I think this last week officially comes in at 15, because we had breakfast sandwiches yesterday for breakfast, hot dogs with buns last night, pancakes this morning for brunch, and I had a father’s day cookie for “lunch. ” Also had a burgers with buns one night, and Cajun food truck midweek that served some jambalaya (which meets the 18 plan) and some fried balls (which certainly didn’t).
This week is my birthday, so it’s gonna be hard to hit 18 meals with all of the shit we have planned. My birthday is being used to celebrate all of our birthdays since we were in lockdown for wife’s birthday and daughter’s birthday. Still, if I can do it this week, I can do it any week, so I’ll give it the old college try. I think 17 will be a win for this week, and 18 would be awesome!
“fried balls”
Sounds keto to me.
Happy birthday trshy. Me and my nephews all had birthdays through lockdown. I’m planning on bringing gifts for them at the cookout this weekend my sister is having.
Fried balls?
You mean boudin balls?
When you say fried balls I know what you mean but I think. everyone else has a different take on that.
I thought thats what happens when you fall asleep in the sun whilst naked.
I thought we were in the bike seat subthread again.
Boudin balls with Remoulade are great.
*boudin is essentially cajun dirty rice made with spicy pork shoulder mixed with pork liver and then course-ground, mixed with rice and green onions and then put into sausage casings. ‘Balls’ as Trashy puts it is the rice stuffing rolled by hand into golfball sized balls, rolled in flour and then fried. They are very popular snacks down here. If you try one you will see why.
Fried balls. *snicker*
I figured you’d know what I was talking about. I kept thinking beignet, but I knew it was the wrong word.
Beignets are sweet balls of fried dough, dusted with powdered sugar.
/The girlfriend (and I) was unhappy that the cajun/creole place near us wasn’t open last walkabout. She wanted her Beignets.
We discovered a good (to us Yankees, anyway) Cajun restaurant – complete with beignets – in Marquette, MI, of all places, on the north coast of the UP right on Lake Superior. (Cue the inevitable jokes about blackened whitefish.) Beignets are much too tasty for my own good.
Back in the 90’s, we had two competing chains (Fat Fish Blue and Redfish). Now, we just have Bourbon Street Barrel Room. It’s led to some in-jokes among us. One of the girlfriend’s friends was commenting how it was impossible to find Abita Root Beer outside of Louisiana when he was at this place. It’s on the shelves at half the grocery stores in my area, as well as the largest candy store in the US that’s around the corner from me.
Happy Birthday!
Sounds like you made good progress, Chafed. Good luck with GlibFit this week everybody. I’m hoping to have something to report next week.
I can report that I am way out of shape. Too sedentary during quarantine. When we started doing things around the house requiring 2 person moves of furniture and boxes, it became extremely clear how out of shape we became.
There’s a big difference between “little exercise” and “no exercise”.
I am going to try walking the hilly neighborhood. Risky, since my feet are in pain, but worth a try.
I discussed this with my sister and one of the spin class instructors. The spin class instructor said that the lockdown was like New Year’s Day every day for her, as people didn’t want to get fat. Me and my sister both just lazed about, drank too much, ate too much takeout, and didn’t really exercise during the lockdown.
For those here, I’ve been kicking around the idea of series about getting back into cycling as an adult. If nothing else, it’ll allow the other cyclists here to tell me how I’m wrong. 🙂
If you get clip-less pedals, make sure they’re adjusted properly. Otherwise you could get trapped in them at a stop, and fall over, looking like a moron.
/looks @ scar still on L knee
/just adjusted the clips on my shoes. The left one was getting loose.
All of the friends and acquaintances I have who went to clipless have stories about their falls at stop signs.
LOL… Wet NOLA cobblestone streets + wet trolley tracks x drunken l0b0t on a velocipede = a scar to remind me of my folly.
I had to look up clipless pedals. Arent those clips?
Don’t ask… it’s one of the most confusing terms in cycling.
Basically, the little toe/foot cages were referred to as clips (or toeclips). So when a new system came to link your feet directly to the bike came out that didn’t use those, they were referred to as clipless. Even though you clip into them.
I’ve been doing a fair amount of walking, but then I’ve got state forest to walk on.
The dog and I didn’t see anybody on our after-dinner walks Friday and Saturday, but *everybody* was out this morning. Probably two dozen people.
On the bright side, everybody also said the dog is beautiful. I just wish he were better behaved.
I feel that. I’m trying to pack up and just the little I’m doing feels overwhelming. (Okay, part of that is the OCD pressure of “Am I doing this RIGHT?!” and have analysis paralysis.)
What’s wrong with your feet? Did I miss it, forget it, or have you not spoken of it?
Same hear Hayek. I am very out of shape mostly because of my sedentary ways during the lockdown. It didnt help that I spent most of that time sipping vodka and watching really dumb TV. About 2 weeks ago I got on the wagon…felt better and have been piddling around the house a bit. I feel better every day.
Working in the yard and sweating has helped the most. Improving my diet second most.
Speaking of which I just learned something new about a woman I have been married to for 22 years. I am learning to make good souffle. My first attempt (potato bacon gruyere) was mostly a success. It got good reviews. The second was a cheese soufflé. That turned out better. Now I want to try sweet ones.
First on the list – tangerine, then lemon(same recipe different flavor) and lastly a chocolate filled chocolate soufflé. Mrs. Suthenboy tells me she doesnt like ‘fruity’ food.
How could anyone turn down a tangerine soufflé topped with cream cheese icing (cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and a pinch of cinnamon or allspice) ?
The girlfriend doesn’t like most chocolate desserts. She claims they’re too chocolatey. I don’t get it… but she also thinks any chocolate above a 15% cocoa level is too bitter.
There’s also quite a few foods she’s claimed not to like, until I cooked them and had her try them again.
“…too chocolatey…”
This does not compute.
As an example, she says she doesn’t like chocolate cake, but likes brownies. When I make brownies, I start by melting down an equal amount of dark chocolate and butter.
My guess is she had some bad cakes in the past, and hasn’t tried them since. She also has no sense of smell, which means asking her for anything flavor related gets… interesting.
Ahhhh. No sense of smell. Mucho f what you taste is actually smell. That makes sense. Puts her at a disadvantage but a very distinct advantage for you.
*Imagines Nephilium like PigPen with puff of dirt every time he moves and a cloud of gnats over his head.
Anosmia?
Wow. Thought I was the only person who knew someone with that condition. My beloved cousin in France (God rest his soul now) “suffered” from anosmia. The whole family felt sorry for him because he couldn’t taste food properly, which to a Frenchie is a hoooge deal. Of course, his attitude was that he could still taste stuff, and since his schnozz never worked that way, he couldn’t miss that which he never knew.
Not quite. It just means that as long as I can fart silently, she’ll never know.
On the other side, it means that I get quite a few jugs of open milk shoved under my nose with the question, “Has this gone bad?” And me pointing out that the lotion/moisturizer she bought based on the name smells like an old lady.
For some reason, she keeps trying to buy air fresheners and items based on the description of the scent. This has not worked out well.
My first birth wrecked my sense of smell for about 5 years. Chocolate and apple-flavored anything tasted rancid. My perfume smelled rancid. Meat was iffy.
Then I developed phantom smells where I will “smell” cigarette smoke constantly, but it’s all in my head (phantosmia). Smelling real cigarette smoke is a relief and a blessing because while I hate it, I know it’s REAL and it helps me differentiate the tricks my brain is playing on me.
Incentives Matter: Yep, she had surgery as a child that caused it. It’s amazingly entertaining to my sister, who continually asks what things taste like to her. The answers are generally in colors or broad descriptions (sweet, green, citrus, yellow, spicy, and sour are the usual answers).
How could anyone turn down a tangerine soufflé topped with cream cheese icing (cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and a pinch of cinnamon or allspice)?
I’ll be right over.
. . .
Er, where did you say you lived again?
…And a big glass of cold, cold milk.
A rare case, where I agree with union organizers.
Workers United in Upstate New York, a union representing 9,500 workers in New York state, is joining the growing call to kick police unions out of the labor movement.
In a statement today signed by more than 120 members, the union says that “conflating our mission with that of police unions undermines our solidarity,” and says that white supremacy is central to our system of policing—”Therefore, we urge the labor movement to cut ties with police unions.” The statement specifically cites the demand for the AFL-CIO to expel the International Union of Police Associations (IUPA), the labor coalition’s major police union.
““conflating our mission with that of police unions undermines our solidarity,” and says that white supremacy is central to our system of policing”
Argle bargle bleebidy bloop.
Whut?
Oh, and I am not saying I disagree with you kinnath, I do agree there should be no police unions. The conclusion is correct but the reasoning of the union is specious nonsense at best.
They should be calling to get rid of all government-sector unions.
Bingo
Thats always been how I felt. Im not a fan of labor unions, but if a company contracts with them, its a private business.
But any organization operating on even a penny of tax money gets no union. No way, no how, no sir.
“if a company contracts with them, its a private business.“
Let me introduce you to the NLRB.
Well, if you’re still around, I concur that the NLRB has a place for arbitration for labor disputes. But are gov’t workers, those that receive a paycheck based on tax money, group that is allowed to….collectively bargain?
And since the NLRB is tax-payer funded, and sometimes they’re allowed to be the arbiters for publicly funded unions- isnt that a conflict?
White supremacy is central to our system of government.
Boom – done!
Can we dissolve the AFL-CIO instead?
Why do you hate the mafia?
You would kill off a lot of private AND public unions. A twofer.
Well, that’s interesting that they finally figured out the whole white supremacy thing….in the somewhat-early 21st Century. And, that they finally figured it out, in spite of all the minority police members.

Just got back from my annual Father’s Day range trip with the kid. I shot the .22lr pistol pretty well. The 9mm less so.
I really hope my gym can reopen July 1st. I feel like shit. Hiking, pushups, and curls just aren’t the same as my heavy lifts and 35 minute seesions on the eliptical.
😀
Dad and I are planning a range trip in the next few weeks, as soon as I can get myself down that way. Apparently he has some new shooters who have been wanting a trip to the range.
Just got back from the skate park. Kid’s just getting started, but he loves it. My wrist is killing me from a bad landing. I’m getting old and out of shape. I can’t even make it to the coping in the 5 foot bowl with no vertical and very gentle transitions. I guess at 54, I’m doing good to even be riding it at all. Gotta get some wrist braces if I’m going to make it a habit. Maybe a better board too. Kid’s skate is on the small side for me.
I don’t remember who first posted this guyto Glibs, but I am addicted.
“Your world can’t move unless someone else moves if for you” is a very toxic way to approach life.
There’s a popular bar and grill in my town we have never been to even though I’ve lived here 21 years and Mr. Mojeaux has lived here 18 years. Today they had a Father’s Day special of a half slab of ribs and 2 (small) sides for $13. Well, hello. We couldn’t make it to the bbq place I was planning, so sure!
They say it’s “St. Louis style,” which I don’t know what that means. I didn’t even know St. Louis knew the word barbecue at all. It’s got an interesting flavor. The meat was tender and lovely. The sauce is almost a sweet-and-hot thing, but not HOT, like burn your tongue spicy. More like the flavor was that of char with a touch of sugar. Not liquid smoke. Char. That is sitting on my tongue most yummily. Nothing I’ve ever had before.
I like it better than the much-ballyhoo’d Jousting Pigs (sorry, Libertesian; I like The Landing better). It’s DIFFERENT from my normal tomato/vinegar/pepper favorite (Gates) and/or vinegar/tomato/cayenne pepper (Bryants) and definitely different from the ketchup/molasses of KC Masterpiece or the tomato/vinegar/pepper/molasses/brown sugar of Jack Stack.
No, this was something else entirely. I don’t know how to explain it but sauced char with a hint of sugar.
St. Louis style mainly refers to the cut of the ribs. The tips are removed to give a uniform sized rack. St. Louis style sauce is something I’m not familiar with.
I haven’t sampled the ribs or house BBQ sauce from The Landing, but I’m glad that you and Mr. Mo enjoyed it. We often take advantage of their $6 burger and fries Thursday special. I have also been tempted to try some of their other daily specials.
I haven’t wanted to go to The Landing because they sometimes have a band there with people I know but want to stay far away from. So I associate it with that band. It may be time to rethink that.
Sorry, kinnath. Didn’t mean to put that there.
YR’s the man.
Rally at Oxford, MA gym
A crowd of people turned out in support of an Oxford gym owner who’s insisting he has the right to stay open amid the coronavirus pandemic — even as the town keeps his building shut down.
“The town of Oxford is frustrated,” Prime Fitness & Nutrition owner Dave Blondin told the Herald on Saturday, in the midst of a protest he organized over the town’s closure of his gym earlier this week.
Blondin, who’s been in a weeks-long battle with Oxford as he has kept his gym open and officials want it closed over coronavirus concerns, has racked up $8,000 in fines from the town.
“It’s not fair to completely shut down businesses for such a long period of time,” said Blondin, who was sporting a T-shirt that said “My governor is an idiot.”
If you are white and you want to be “one of the good ones”, read this.
Personally, I agree with this.
Personally, where is the exit? I want to get out of this insane asylum.
Wonko the Sane had the answer.
Wasnt his wife ‘Arcane Jane’ ?
Yeah, nothing racist or prejudiced about “it’s OK, you can be one of the good (insert ethnic group being prejudged)s if you act as we dictate”.
Just insert the n-word for white in this article, repost in the comments, and watch leftists lose their shit.
Two weeks ago I deleted the ‘News’ tab from my bookmark bar, quit listening to talk radio, reading twitter and I already didn’t even have a TV, The only current event/politics/bullshit I hear is whatever you idiots bring up in the Happy Hour Zoom Meetups (and I tune most of that out as well) I haven’t even been checking in here (you’re welcome). It’s great and I highly recommend it.
How are you going to know what you should be outraged about?
Kroger’s was out of Claussen’s Hearty Garlic Sandwich Slices again. That filled my outrage quota for the week. How am I spose’ta make a quality sammich without the king of sammich pickles !1!!?1??!
Those are really good.
And Ill argue that Claussen’s > any other pickle available in a store.
No question, I’ll buy the store brand of about anything except pickles, it’s Claussen or nothing.
The Kroger brand refrigerated ones are ok in an emergency. Never was a fan of Grillo’s.
I don’t know, our Heinen’s carry Cleveland Pickle. They’re quite a bit cheaper to buy locally then to have them shipped.
Mt Olive > Claussens.
You can keep your Kraft pickles.
I’m a fan of Bubbies.

I’m not seeing any sandwich slices. If they expect me to slice my own pickles they can fuck right off. I already have to slice the red onion and tomato, and what with weighing the pastrami,choosing a mustard, rinsing
the lettuce leaf, getting that piece of paper off the cheese slice, and trimming the bread so it fits in the tupperware, I just don’t have time for slicing a pickle.
Do what now?
The packages of cheese slices we buy (in our case, Reduced Fat Co-Jack) have little pieces of paper between the slices.
The sliced cheese from the deli counter has a piece of paper between each slice and if you don’t remove it you get an interesting bite of sammich.
Oh, WHEW! I thought you were talking about Kraft singles.
Our delis don’t put paper between the sliced cheese. That’s only in the stuff in the standard dairy case
#LearnToPickle?
I’ve already got too much on my plate.
I can pickles every other year. This is a pickle year.
I can pickles too.
Whenever I find a sandwich has come with a pickle, I throw it right in the garbage can.
Don’t like any of them, but I appreciate other people have different tastes and I’m glad they are there for you.
But pickled peppers of all sorts, especially pepperoncini, yum! Yes, I know it makes no sense. Because I like cucumbers, too. But I also like all the ingredients of meat loaf, but somehow all together, can’t stand the taste or even the smell of meat loaf. Must be something to do with baking the ground beef.
Shit, thank you for reminding me. I need Claussen’s Kosher Dill slices before Tuesday, or there will be blood…
I keep trying to get the spousal unit to give up on MSM entirely. She tries, it lasts about a week, and then she gets all antsy and needs to see the six o’clock news again. Then she sees a bunch of stories that make her roll her eyes so hard she can see her own brainstem, swears to quit for good, and then lasts another week or so.
My blood pressure’s much better since I stopped consuming the MSM regularly.
I pretty much quit news about two years ago. I read Glibs for the news and The Hyperbole’s and Don Escaped’s comments for the view from the loyal opposition.
So, I’ve been outraged by TH’s absence because it has pushed my filters out of balance.

30 more minutes of work. Best thing about coming in on a weekend is no one around to send 100 emails, calls all day long. I was able to get some actual work done.
Wife and I have been putting in walking time after dinner when the Sun God goes to sleep in Vegas, usual 20 out, 20 back.
Is it ever possible for you to just turn off your email on normal days?
I can just ignore for the most part and if its that important, just call me!
You must have the control of an iron man. I have to click on my email every time it dings no matter what. It’s like a big fat scab you can’t leave alone.
I turn off my work phone. A trusted deputy has my personal cellphone number, which he has permission to call in case of emergency.
I put in enough unpaid hours on weekday evenings.
My business phone is listed on my website. I have gotten more business because I have a phone number and I will answer than I can account for. People tell me all the time: “I hired you because you have a phone number, you talk to me, and explain things to me. NOBODY ELSE has a phone number.”
It’s a discipline that I’ve been working on. I get email often enough that it’s unpleasant when I let the tail wag the dog. I wish I could filter the email notification to ding differently for management compare to everybody else.
My entire work flow is through e-mail and tickets. But I’m support, so I know where I fit on the totem pole. On the other hand, unlike one of my coworkers, I am willing to draw lines in work/life balance.

Apparently the rioting and associated insanity has created another rush on ammo. I can’t find an 9mm for less than 0.25/round and no 5.7 for less than 1.00 (!) a round. It’s double what it was three months ago.
Woe.
5.7? As in, what you feed this guy?
I’m catching up on a several month old pile of magazines. In there was the issue of American Rifleman with the review of the Ruger 57. I’m intrigued.
PS90.
Ahh.
It is a full sized auto chambered in what amounts to 22 magnum. I carry a full sized auto sometimes. It is chambered in 45acp
I have a 1911 too.
I’ve toyed with the idea of getting one of those PMR30s. I already stock .22 mag.
That’s some expensive practice.
I think practice days are over. Time to keep your powder dry.
You failed to stockpile sufficiently.
Sad.
$0.38/round here in Edmonton. That’s the TMJ non-toxic primer American Eagle stuff, 147 gr. Nice ammo.
*sits smugly on a throne of full ammo cans and crates*
Good luck for ammo prices to stabilize any time soon. Maybe November?
Unless Biden wins.
True. In that case, I’m ordering a pallet no matter what prices are.
True. In that case, I’m ordering a pallet no matter what prices are.
Squirrels!
Apparently, so are the squirrels.
Order two pallets.
Stockpiling is tough if you shoot a lot.
I have three cases of 9×19 ball and three cases of inexpensive 5.56×45 ball, that I consider my last-ditch emergency training supply. I figure one monthly practice each with the pistol and rifle, 100-150 rounds each, means I can go around two years maintaining a reasonable level of proficiency. After two years, hopefully either the ammo supply will have stabilized, or I’ll no longer need to worry about staying proficient.
To actually build skill, I’d want to shoot a lot more than one range trip/100 rds. per month…
.22 lr?
/remembers doing quals with drop in subcaliber bolts at 5yds.
.22LR is good for rifle marksmanship practice, and you can do some good long range training with it. I don’t think that it’s all that useful for handgun practice.
I do still have a shitload of it on hand.
Conversion kits?
With a pistol? IMO, they’re no better than dry practice for actually building skill. Worse, in fact, in that you still have to make time to go to the range, while you can dry practice in your living room.
In the rifle, there’s some benefit to be had. I have a few .22LR ARs that I use from time to time.
.25 is not great, but it’s not horrible. I remember years ago you couldn’t get it for less than .30, if you could find it at all. I’d buy at that price.
Now would be a good time to invest in some reloading equipment…
Does Dillon still have those cupcake models on their catalogs?
Oh, indeed…
Well, I’ve settled on a Benelli M2 . I like the inertial cycling over the gas cycling. Now to find one. Holy fuck, everybody is sold out of everything. Two maybes on Gunbroker. I’ll check the local Benelli dealer tomorrow to see what their wait times are/what they can do.
I’ve got a Benelli Super Black Eagle ll. Love it. And Benelli’s customer service is superb.
Good customer service is always a plus.
At least I’ve got my case of ammo. Probably the first time I’ve got ammo before the gun that will eat it.
I see that the peaceful protesters are making inroads toward coexistence.

Hrm… I was boiling some eggs, forgot they were on a for a little bit and one of them decided to jettisson two thirds of the shell, otherwise leaving the contents in proper shape.
And no, the final dish the eggs are for is not particularly GlibFit.
Of course the bowl I washed wasn’t big enough. Somewhere I have a bigger metal bowl, but it’s been so long since I’ve needed it there’s no way it’s clean.

Braggart. I’ve now been inspired to try the nitrile gloves next time I peel an egg. They do wonders for getting trashbags open and plying papers apart with my dry-ass hands.
Hi Chefed!
Nice work again this week! I also had my first full week at the gym and squat day on Friday did a number on me. Thank god I’ve been alternating stretching and yoga on the off days. What a difference.
Here’s a podcast for you.
Two really smart dudes getting way down into the weeds, but some really interesting stuff about how keto affects gene expression. You’ll like it, I think.

Hey, I was drunk
Thats cool. So am I.
Spaghetti Carbonara. Was yum. Had to substitute mozz for parm but had lots of salty bacon so it worked. Actually a little extra creamy:)

Been running all week as usual. Averaging 6 miles a day. Ran 11 miles in the rain yesterday morning. It was glorious. Took It easy today. Ran three miles to a set of stairs. Then, a million stairs. Then, I jogged over to the he donut shop.
My diet has been shit, though. Lasagna, rice, fettuccine, mashed potatoes. Bread. Drank beers. Today won’t be any better. Donuts, funeral potatoes, chocolate cake. But this week I plan on tuning up the diet. Especially lunch. It’s too easy to get a sandwich or burger. My wife just bought some keto protein shake powder. I’ll try to start making that my lunch routine. Blend it with milk, yogurt, and some fruit I guess?
Lasagna and fettuccine sounds good to me.
The lasagna was fucking amazing. I used spicy lamb sausage. I made the red sauce from scratch, and it was very bright and lemony. I mixed feta cheese in with my ricotta. Red onions. And fresh mozzarella and feta baked on top.
Switch it up a bit. I sometimes do an “orange creamsicle” — I use my protein powder blend, 200ml of OJ and 100ml of milk, plus sometimes some powdered milk (or evap!) to pump it up a bit. Blend well, then drink. Deeee-LISH.
The milk doesn’t curdle?
Nope.
(And even if it did, how would you know after you’ve blended it? Curdling wouldn’t change the taste.)
If you take longer than an hour to drink, it will curdle, and yeah, it’s just a texture issue. I skip the protein powders as I just make it for dessert. If you don’t mind a lil creamcheese floating on top it’s not a problem.
When people complain about their “curdled milk”, it’s really all the smelly sour liquid in there that makes it inedible. Cheese is just the process for arriving at curds WITHOUT the attendant spoilage au natural (controlled spoilage optional).
?
Yeah. As many have said, you can’t outrun/outpedal your fork. Good on the running, cycling in the rain is not quite as fun.
So when do you think home gym equipment will be back in stock?
When did they go out of stock?
Probably shortly after the gyms were closed.
A year ago I invested in a gym level elliptical trainer and have literally used it every day since. My wife wasn’t too happy as she was certain it would become a clothes rack, but by getting it I’ve saved tons of gas and gotten an hour a day back that would have been spent driving round trip, parking, etc to the gym. Once the pandemic closed the gyms my wife thought I’d been a prescient genius (well, for a few minutes anyway).
I have one that, despite saying “gym series” I couldnt attest to the truthfulness of that- its a Horizon CSE 35, which is old. Up until I bruised a heel last year we were friends everyday. Despite HEELing, I didnt get back on.
Perhaps tomorrow.
OT: Local politics.
Now that restrictions are lifting, I want to get into meeting new people in my area. It’s weird not to have an extended network of acquaintances and friends after leaving 20 yrs in Minneapolis behind.
I have these non virtual networks:
1)Work
2)Church (barely; covid struck on our 3rd visit)
3)Neighborhood golf club
I’m thinking of doing some recon of the San Diego Libertarian party meetings. Also the local GOP, to take the temperature of CA Republican voters.
Should lead to good discussions at least, and possible new friends.
Drive around and look for pineapples on the front porch?
Good luck

A golf club in north county San Diego is where you want to network. It will also double as the local GOP. Seriously. Golf club.

Church I gave up during Catholic High School.

I had board gamers, but far too many of them have gone full in on COVID panic, and the local game store is requiring masks to enter or play. This leaves me to the local brewers and bartenders at local bars/breweries.

I’ve never tried it.
I have. Joined probably half a dozen or more over a period of time. Generally benefited from participating. Started a couple as well. The value depends entirely on the make-up, dynamics, and willingness to contribute of the membership. The more urban your area, the greater your scope of existing meetups to choose from.
Start a libertarian get-together at your nearby Stone brewery. Heck, I’d even fly down for an event like that. Could always arrange to have a meeting at Palomar Hospital to justify it.

In case anyone is wondering, dried beans won’t cook if they are too old. I found a pound of black beans I didn’t know I had. I tried to cook them and nothing happened. So I had to throw them out.
Did you remember to add water?
They’d probably work if you pressure-cook ’em. You’re right, though, they lose their “viability” (for lack of a better term) as they age.
I don’t think more heat would matter. As far as I know, it’s that they become acidic. Soaking them in alkali (lime, baking soda) works, but I didn’t do that.
I’ve had old beans that would never get soft. They’re cheap enough, I always check the date and make sure I have fresh(er) ones.

I actually met my estranged father on Tuesday. He seems to be doing a farewell tour. Failing eyesight, failing hearing, diabeetus, high cholesterol, and narcissism seem to be doing him in. (Last time I saw him was at my wedding nearly 20 years ago.) He mostly talked about himself and wasn’t interested in his grand kids.
He knocked my mother up when she was 17. He drove a truck for most of his life. I remember having to piss in a half gallon orange juice container as a kid when I rode with him. He would throw the full container at the windshield of oncoming traffic. He busted the door off a stranded car with me in the passenger seat. I have heard that he broke the jaw of a dock manager that didn’t unload him fast enough.
He is a doddering old fool now.
I like to think I have done better for my kids. Well, I know I have done better. I stuck around.
Oy. That is a rough road Nick. I’m sorry you had to travel it.
Good tune. Good story, and you’re a good dude; you stuck around.

My workout routine is going to have to do a reset. Hopefully sometime soon.
Three weeks ago from last Friday I went out for the first evening away from home with non-family since February. Drinks were consumed and I was feeling tired by about 9:30 PM. I got in a taxi to head home and dosed off.
The next thing I remember, I was in the ER waiting for my wife to pick me up – middle of the night. The docs had sewn up a gash in my forehead which explains the loss of memory but there was no story about how I got that way.
From the wounds/injuries it seems I was knocked down by somebody on a bicycle – very sore/tender ribs on the left side, swollen right knee, no cuts or tenderness on arms, hands, or elbows. My face looks like I face-planted on asphalt. Eleven stitches in the middle of my forehead.
Facial cuts healed quickly – but the ribs are still a bit painful. I cannot do push-ups nor pull-ups until these heal completely.
Now that my kids are back in school on a normal schedule I might go see a doctor about these ribs. The ER told me they aren’t broken so I had expected they would heal on their own. They are much better than the first couple days after the accident but still not good enough to work out with. Bleahhh…
Yikes! So it wasn’t that your cab was in an accident but rather something happened after you got out? So sorry!
Yeah, had to have been after I got out of the taxi – probably near the train station near my house. There are a few small, dark streets I would have been walking through where this could have happened.
Sore ribs are a problem as it makes it difficult to sleep – I’ve only been able to sleep in two positions since this accident and turning from one to the other was very painful for the first week. At first it was very painful – like getting a knife in the side if I tried to bend over to pick something up. Now it’s just a dull pain when I try to use muscles on that side. Really more of a bother than anything. At this point I’m starting to wonder if some light training (push-ups, light kettlebells) would help or hurt.
I’ve only been able to sleep in two positions since this accident and turning from one to the other was very painful for the first week.
Missionary and reverse cowgirl?
Ouch. Heal up ASAP.
Damn. Hurt ribs suck. I broke seven some years ago and they took a solid year to heal to where I could do a push up.
Dayum. That must have sucked royally.
The day that this accident happened I was right on the cusp of doing 5 sets of 10 strict, dead hang pull-ups every day. I felt like I at least had something to show for the months of lockdown. I wonder how many weeks this has set me back.
Sorry. Heal up soon.
Ribs suck, what with the need to breathe and such. I fell out of bed in April and hurt mine. Slow to heal. Hope you are better soon.
Ouch. Sorry dude.
I slipped in my icy Ohio driveway a couple years ago, and landed flat on my back like a cartoon. I was even sober. After a couple days I went to see the doc (bruised or broken ribs- they cant do anything, I was just wondering how long I had to feel better), and after x-rays I was told they were bruised, got 3 days worth of vicodin, and sent home.
2 years later Im in a horrific car wreck, and go to the hospital to get ‘checked out’. After x-rays and an abdominal CT, the attending came to my bed and said, “Well Mr. Cool, things look fine, but you do have 3 recently healed rib fractures. How did that happen?”
“Uh, I was here not too long ago and you dumbfucks said they were bruised, and not fractured.”
Science!
Wow Tres, I can totally relate to that.
Decades ago, my Air Force dad got transferred to Davis-Monthan in AZ. We were staying in family “suite” at a hotel, awaiting on-base housing. One night my parents drove off to the base to get drunk at the NCO club. We had had strict instructions. Don’t go outside. The pool was right outside our door. Not allowed. Naturally, my brother and I got bored. We decided, a game of indoor football would be fun. We moved some furniture out of the way, and game on. I fell wrong and hit my arm. My brother freaked out. Probably because he knew would get in trouble. Got my X-rays, diagnosed as a severe sprain. Took some pain meds and was sent away.
A year later, and it’s the same to this day, I demonstrated that I can barely touch my left shoulder with my index finger. My range of motion is normal with my right. My mom dragged me back to the base hospital, and another doctor looked at the X-Rays again. He said there was an actual fracture that was misdiagnosed. She was told they would have to rebreak the arm to fix it. She rejected that. Funny thing, those X-Rays disappeared.
Heh. As a veteran, both my diagnoses took place at a VA hospital. Imagine that.
I’m not going to trash the system based on my experiences- but Ive never had anything major done. Primary care doc, blood pressure meds, physical therapy, stuff like that. So Im not in the cadre of people to whine about how fucked up they are. 1 thing I will give my local hospital (and docs) credit for- they are VERY liberal with imaging. I think we have 2 or 3 CTs and 4 MRIs (2 open- no tube), and the docs love to send you through them. Now if I were to have a stroke, heart attack, or something serious? Im going to a local non-VA hospital; in any emergency, VA will pay for you to get treatment at the nearest facility. My preferred hospital is 0.3 of a mile closer than my VA.
I got the same impression from my dad’s experience, as well as that of my fellow vets.
I have 2 good friends that I grew up with, veterans, that both work in that hospital. One day I asked 1, “if you were here at work and had a hot appendix, would you go down to the ER?”
She said “fuck no”. Which speaks volumes about her employer.
The other side of that coin is my barber that’s a Vietnam vet. He needed a heart bypass, and got shipped up to Cleveland VA, which is a teaching hospital for the Cleveland Clinic. He said he’d never been treated better. 3 years later and the old fart still cuts my hair.
YMMV.
In my experience, VA facilities vary wildly. Tallahassee, and Ft. Myers, FL were top notch. The NOLA location didn’t set my broken shoulder correctly, and the St. Pete, FL hospital is a veritable charnel house.
Yikes!
Sorry 🙁
Ouch! Sorry to hear that.
Oh, my! Get well soon. Listen to your body.

So, it doesn’t look like there’s going to be an evening post.
So, the Watchmen series was free this weekend, and as a comic geek, I watched it. The first episode annoyed me, and I feel the characterization of Dr. Manhattan through the show was not done well. There were some deeper things pointed out that most people would miss (such as reparations would cause resentment) that could be easily missed (or be considered to be in favor of reparations). Do not watch it if you never read the comic, it ignores the movie entirely, and is based on the comic.
I loved the graphic novel. I enjoyed the movie. I will not watch the show. I’m pretty certain it will destroy everything I hold dear about the graphic novel.

Admit it, it would be fun to watch them try and topple this thing.
“Approximately 20 million Native Americans died of smallpox, which they contracted from Europeans when they first invaded this continent. In comparison, 6 million Jews were exterminated during the Holocaust. ” How does Fred know that? Was a there a census? I honestly doubt there was 20M anything in N. America then, barring insects.
Awesome. Now do Russians and Chinese during their respective “revolutions”. And to be clear, it was the Brits at Ft. Pitt that did smallpox blankets.
I’m curious: was there any diseases the Indians had for which the Euros had no immunity and which killed them by the tens of thousands?
Surely “Montezuma’s Revenge” wasn’t the only nasty critter hanging around the New World.

“Over the last few weeks, our museum community has been profoundly moved by the ever-widening movement for racial justice that has emerged after the killing of George Floyd,” the museum’s president, Ellen V. Futter, said in an interview. “We have watched as the attention of the world and the country has increasingly turned to statues as powerful and hurtful symbols of systemic racism.
Ms. Futter made clear that the museum’s decision was based on the statue itself — namely its “hierarchical composition”—- and not on Roosevelt himself, whom the museum continues to honor as “a pioneering conservationist.”
“Simply put,” she added, “the time has come to move it.”
The museum took action amid a heated national debate over the appropriateness of statues or monuments that first focused on Confederate symbols like Robert E. Lee and has now moved on to a wider arc of figures, from Christopher Columbus to Winston Churchill.
***
Of course it has moved on, because it was never about racism or slavery in the first place.
***
“The American Museum of Natural History has asked to remove the Theodore Roosevelt statue because it explicitly depicts Black and Indigenous people as subjugated and racially inferior,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement. “The City supports the Museum’s request. It is the right decision and the right time to remove this problematic statue.”
***
How exactly is a guy on horse an explicit expression of racism? Is the horse trampling a slave while Teddy points and laughs? Is there are a plaque on it that says something like “A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man, except the darkies.”
A white person feeling good means a black or brown person is being oppressed… It is known.
Seriously though, we’re entering an era of Jim Crow 2: back atcha Boogaloo.
“hierarchical composition”
IOW, can’t be explained in plain English because it would expose the gibberish.
Bingo!
It’s because he’s higher than them because he’s on a horse.
https://images.wsj.net/im-93942?width=620&size=0.6666666666666666
Mostly it’s because he’s a Republican though.
But that was before the parties switched sides.
I think it’s simply that they’re terrified of the mob. Or controlled by it. Not sure it matters any more.
For sure. Still, I hate Roosevelt so I’m fine with his statue being moved. Bonus points for rioters not doing it.
A war monger that locked up large tracts of land. Not a fan either.
Not gonna be any statues of presidents at this rate. Not that I mind too much.
I’d rather someone tells them to get bent before they run out of statues and take it to the next level.
Sure. The reason they are taking down statues isn’t my reason for being ambivalent. State propaganda=not good. Private expressions of values=good. Remembering history=good.
Teddy apparently was a leading voice that opposed Woodrow Wilson’s peace negotiations with the Germans at the end of WWI. TR inflamed the country into demanding unconditional surrender even demanding attacking right through to Berlin though it would cost hundreds of thousands of American lives; Wilson had worked out a pretty reasonable deal with the Germans to end the military’s rule and establish democracy. As we know, the French and English also demanded huge pounds of flesh and the subjugation of Germany can be directly linked to the need to fight WWII.
Woodrow just wanted that sweet Aryan ethos flowing freely into the US.
While I hate the idea of burying history – especially for the reasons being stated now – I don’t really care so much about statues. I guess the biggest thing that bothers me is the willful ignorance most of these “protestors” embody and seem to be extending further. That being said, it’s their lives they are wasting by being stupid so I’m not really concerned about how they will be impacted.
About the only thing this huge bruhaha over destroying statues brings to mind for me is a (probably futile) hope that all this bronze will be recycled and hopefully the price of ammo will drop a few percent as a result.
Put on the glasses!

I finally know someone with the Wu-Flu! I have a cousin that I learned was hospitalized earlier in the week, put on a vent, then taken off, and she’s been transferred to University of Cincinnati Hospital to get 5L of fluid drained from her pleural cavity.
She’s 61, fat as fuck, has diabetes, and high blood pressure. Checks all the boxes. I truly hope it doesnt take her out cause she’s one of the few family members I can tolerate.
That sucks. Hope she recovers ok.
It does, but she works in healthcare. And I dont even know she tested positive for CoVID- the text I got was that she was in a CoVID ward. That should be telling, but util I hear or see a positive CoVID diagnosis. I got my N95 fresh in the wrapper, so Ill roll over and see her tomorrow.
^ yeah.
Sorry. I hope she gets well soon.
Thanks, you buncha a-holes. Its appreciated.
Sorry, Tres. Fingers crossed.
Her brother is a career fireman, a chief of a suburb of Dayton-30years. You better cross your Maltese….cross. That would be a double-cross. W/e.
He’s a colossal asshole, which is why I always gave you shit. He liked to wear a shirt that said “My job is to save your ass- not kiss it.”
Such a douche he should be heir to the Massengil fortunes. But Ill be honest- if I was ever in some wreck where I was mashed up and needed extricated? Id want my cousin Dave there- he knows his shit.
I once brought a room to silence by stating that, “just because your willing to risk your life for a stranger doesn’t mean you can’t be an asshole.”

Doin’ the Mr. Miyagi – wax on, wax off!
10 hour drive to Keystone, CO today. I have plenty of tunes for the radio but on long trips I like to scan talk radio. Along my route it was pretty much just NPR available. Holy shit, I can see how anyone that listens to that crap too long hates America. Today I learned that the American government hates minorities and actively kills them and that only by rejecting white culture can minorities find a sense of purpose and flourish.
Also, wearing a mask sucks. I have to wear one at the jobsite down here but I guess I will do it for a $10K sale.
I am mandated to wear one in order to leave my home. Fortunately they can only really enforce it if I choose to enter a business.
I don’t see how they are all that effective. No tight seal, no proper training etc.
Boo! Hiss! Science denier!!! You just want to kill grandma!

No, I want to kill grandpa. That fucker has a lot of money and I’m in his will.

They are more of a talisman than anything. It helps assure the Karen’s that Something Is Being Done.
(That apostrophe was spell check related if you’re still around Ted)
This. It’s like a necklace to ward off evil spirits.
Our greasy prick of a governor decreed that they need to be worn statewide now. I only wear mine (and it’s a neck gator that does as much as a chain link fence does to stop skeeters) when I go into a store or going into peoples’ homes until I suss them out. I just found that there is a new recall drive going on. I downloaded the sign up forms and am now making it my mission to get a couple dozen signatures on it over the next month. Anyone who complains about the state of the state is going to get offered to sign it. I’m not overly political in my day to day normal life, but fuckit this has made me more than angry.
I’m livid about AZ’s non-policy/policy. (The governor told the local municipalities they were free to do whatever they wanted, and all the D controlled municipalities immediately went draconian).
Definitely more a talisman than anything else. Looking at it from that angle I have to accept that it involves less effort than having to do a “COVID-19 dance” or some other involved ritual like most pre-literate societies required when facing something not fully understood but fearful.
But the renegade in me still wants to get a t-shirt printed with the words “Yeah, I’m wearing a mask” – and an arrow pointing down to my crotch.
Fuck those frauds Paul Berger and Carl Flügge. And Joseph Lister too.
The problem is that Berger’s mask adoption for surgery appears to not to have held up under several clinical trials.
“Statistical analysis of the extracted data revealed no statistically significant association between mask usage and the incidence of surgical site infection.”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4480558/
And this doesn’t appear to be a controversial belief in surgical research circles at this point. Most surgeons persist because they believe it’s a stupid hill to die on. I can’t find the link, but I read one story where a famous surgeon was televising a surgery around the world for teaching purposes, and a bunch of people watching lost their shit because he opted not to wear a mask.
They are not. Point of fact, they don’t even prevent infections during surgeries which is what they were designed for in the first place. One major national surgical association does not require surgical staff to wear them in theater.
Here’s a great link to a transcript of Dr. Osterholm at the University of Minnesota (who is otherwise a bit of a lefty) doing a podcast going through the available science on masks, and how appalled he is at the steamrolling of all of these mask mandates based on no or severely skecthy evidence:
https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/sites/default/files/public/downloads/special_episode_masks_6.2.20_0.pdf
So I am being force, by punishment of law, to wear a safety measure whenever I leave my home for which there is little to no evidence of its efficacy. Yep, sounds like 2020.
Disobey, it is up to us to give them the middle finger.
I can walking around outside, but if a store wants me to mask up or leave (and now all the stores are forced to by law), I’m kinda stuck.
Tres did at any point notice you were name checked in the article?
I did, Chefed.
Kthnxbai, and I replied with the NoLivesMatter comment.
You’re awesome.
I’ve been working with some relatively light weights for the past month or so to work off the stress of the daily shitshow. Finally have been able to order an Olympic bar and some bumper plates as all fitness equipment has been really hard to find for the past couple months. Just have to get a good bench and a rack and I can do the whole set of compound lifts. Even with the small amount of weigh I have (150 lb deadlifts) I have been getting stronger. I want to keep this up as I’m getting older and need the core strength. Thanks for the bit of weekly motivation Chafed!
Good on you! That sounds like a good start.
I’m glad to help KSuell. How did you manage to find fitness equipment in stock somewhere?
Thanks guys. I just kept looking everyday on a few of sites. Everything has been continually out of stock, but last week I found that XMark had bars and plates available. By the next day they were out of stock again.
How to deal with the CCPV. Require everyone to have six weeks of supplies on hand. Total lock down for six weeks. Anyone that leaves their shelter will be summarily executed by drones. No goods or people to ever enter the country again. See it’s so simple.
6 weeks? Talk to Mojo- she got 1 years worth of food and ca$h on hand, per LDS (I didnt say Mormon!) doctrine.
Get on her level.
Obviously, the government would have to do some tests to determine the appropriate length of time. Perhaps they could concentrate a certain group of people into some kind of camps of some sort to determine how long it takes a person to clear the virus.
Maybe investigate if some sort of structured physical exercise can speed it up as well.
Nothing too strenuous, just some light to moderate chores around the camp.

All determined to be suicide. But you wouldn’t know that from the headline. Typical sensational reporting.
“ We’re talking about multiple people hanging from trees across America in the middle of a race war that’s going,’ said resident Anthony Scott.”
Daddy, what did you do in the Great Race War of 2020?
Race war? This guy has no idea what that really looks like. See apartheid South Africa or 1920 Mississippi.
I heard on NPR today that the cops are killing blacks at the same rate as lynchings in 1920.
53 black people lynched in 1920 according to these stats. That’s an average of around one a week. So that would mean about 22 would have been killed by cops so far this year?
Looks like an average of close to 1000 people killed by police each year. Not sure how to determine justified or not.
About 20/week seems awfully shooty. I get America is large, land-wise, and 350M (about) population, but, 20 use-of-deadly force situations every week is quite alarming to me. And, I work in LE.
It does. There are several newspaper & websites which claim to count them but there are no government compiled stats.
They are. It sells newspapers and gets clicks.
“The first of the six hangings came in Portland, Oregon on May 27, when Otis ‘Titi’ Gulley, a 31-year-old a homeless black transgender woman was found dead” I’m not surprised this person committed suicide. It’s sad. But that’s what it is.
I have trouble believing that the others would have been hanged by anything smaller than a
bread box’30s Klan rally, and, without being noticed.Of course, this does beg the question of, when did hanging suicided come back into vogue for young, Black, American men?
Not broken down by race, but there was a clear uptick of suicide by hanging between 2000 and 2010.

I saw Baby Driver, in a movie theater, in the before times.
Why?
Oh, it’s entertaining, to a degree.
Sometimes, you gotta get out of the cabin, ya know?
I watched it, because I try to watch as much as possible so I can have an informed opinion, but neither or trailers or the actual movie had anything I found interesting.
Some times you have to go do stuff outside the house with your family. I’m guessing it was either the least bad or most apealing option or the one moving no one had already seen.
I am delighted not knowing or caring who these people are.
So, on Tuesday I got a call from work telling me I was going back to work on the 28th at 40 hrs a week…then Friday I got a call that I’m going back the 22nd at 32 hrs a week. Back on third shift, so I’m gonna be up all night to get back into that sleep pattern (unless I pass I out, I have been drinking, but I started later than usual to counter-act this). Smoked pulled pork and pulled chicken today with applewood, it’ll make for some good lunches this week.
I guess I now know what it takes to get Sir Digby to comment on a GlibFit post.

What exactly do campus police do while college is cancelled and it also being summer?
A simple question that isn’t easy to answer…
*We have multiple new officers, many of whom are straight out the academy. We were/are supposed to have two new campuses in August, and probably still will, but, the construction has been unsteady. They aren’t really getting much training, so busy work in any capacity, really
*We still have staff on campuses, and they still bring some problems/needs with them. Not like students do, but, it’s still something.
*We have partially opened/refurbished dorms on my campus. Not a lot of work there, but will be growing over the next few months. F the dorms.
*Many officers trying to get in mandated training.
*etc, etc.
no summer classes?
All online.
I think Summer II, in July, might have some in-room classes. Since I’m here during closed hours, I’m not fully in the know about it. Just that students have been gone since March.
And, it is GLORIOUS.
So…a lot like me the last 3 months, but without having to be laid off…Fuck the Police!

So…someone managed to break into a Nascar garage and what they did was hang a noose? Because there is a guy with curly hair who is lighter than some tanned white folks?
It sounds like something done just to get ESPN mouthing off.
Considering the number of times people have claimed they found nooses and it turns out to be something else — including a couple of days ago, I would actually like to see a picture of the noose before I believe this.
No noose is good noose.
In 2018, when I worked at the radio station, we had candidates for State Assembly come on for interviews. I caught the Libertarian candidate outside and slipped him a business card with this site written on the back and invited him to check it out. I wonder if he ever did, and what his reaction was. He was a farmer, so not a Cosmotarian. When I ran in 2012 I contacted the state Libertarian party (there was no county party) and never got a response.
“And, that farmer turned out to be…Creosote Achilles.
And, now you know.”
No ‘rest of the story’? Paul Harvey you are not.
Oh, even I don’t know the rest of the story. I can’t give what I don’t have, man!
You’re a shitty writer. ‘And that farmer turned out to be Creosote Achilles. He showed up later that night to CPRM’s house with four Dominatrixes and a marmoset. CPRM never walked again. And now you know the rest of the story.’

Murder on the ANTIFA Express.
I can approve of commies killing each other.
I’m still in the camp of ‘Murder is bad, Mkay?’
If a commie comes a-callin’, demanding my stuff, they’ll get a lead donation. So, presuming something like this was going on in the land of Chaz, I fully understand why someone would get violent.
I would have bet good money that this was going to happen. Lawless people are lawless. I would also bet that this won’t be the last one either. Probably another one in three to five days.
I doubt this was the first murder, but it happened with a gun, so first one we heard about.

I Haaate it when the enterprise forces a desktop reboot over a long weekend. The stupid computer tries to be “helpful” and attempts to reopen documents from network drives that haven’t been mounted, reopens browser windows without knowing what page they were on, all the while running all the stupid “start at boot” programs I don’t use and have to manually close out of. The process of cleaning up after a forced reboot of my work desktop takes longer than checking my email after a long weekend.
Maybe your computer hates you.
Naw, my work desktop and I have gotten along for years.
It’s the Enterprise that hates me.
In that case, just beware if they send you down to the planet with an away team while you’re wearing a red shirt.
