I know how they feel.
Day four with the wife’s best friend and her guy. So far, so good. We had one good round of smash liver Thursday night, but otherwise have been pretty sedate. With lots of naps. I think losing the ability to hang as we get older is the bodies self defense mechanism against our brains saying, “I’m still 25. Let’s go.”.
Drugs may fall out of my ass but this bares reposting. Peak asinine appears to be within site.

Here’s some Peter Green

“According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors far-right groups in the US, Klayman, the founder of the Judicial Watch, is “a pathologically litigious attorney and professional gadfly notorious for suing everyone from Iran’s supreme leader to his own mother”.”
Then I guess it has to be true.
The SPLC is a grifting operation and an arm of the DNC. I don’t give a shit what they have to say about anything.
The SCLC, (Southern Christian Leadership Conference) used to do this kind of heavy lifting for the D’s until it got out that the organization only had something like 800 dues paying members. Which short of precludes them from being the authoritative voice of anything. I wonder about the SPLC.

I can confirm he sued his own mother. I handled her estate.
Did you deal with him directly? He’s an absolute lunatic…
I did for a short time. He started some trust litigation that I defended.

Well, crap. My dinner plans are canceled. We were going to see a band and eat fish and chips at the Moose Lodge, which has been reopened under new rules.
Now we got emailed and texted that the Sheriff told them they have to shut I down and not have any live entertainment.
Sigh. The Moose Lodge was a big LEO supporter, but if we get KarenCops outnumbering the good ones, that will change.
Sorry to hear that hayek.
The random changes are probably the most upsetting thing to me.
Sorry, this whole situation sucks. I thought, back in March, it would have been long over by now.
Yeah. I figured this would be a couple week thing at most.
/several months later
It’s all just insane. Everything happened so fast.
Because they promised us that it would be?
Sucker.
No, that’s not the reason.
I used to think that the world around me wasn’t controlled and defined by insane people.
Like so many other things, I was wrong about that as well.
Stepped outside the house today. Boy, do I regret that.
Mucho sympathy. A friend of ours is playing this evening at our favorite local winery, but the rules they have to keep in place just to keep from getting shut down would have been such a PITA I suspect it would have ruined the evening for us. So home we stay.
Of course, I think I still have ten bottles left of the case I bought when this winery was only able to do curbside pickup orders or deliveries earlier in the panicdemic. Maybe it’s time to chill one of those babies and pop it open after a bit. And I get it all to myself!
Its always time to knock one down, alone or with someone (alone is better though)
I was on the other side of the mic under those conditions there, remember? It wasn’t as much fun as it could have been and far more difficult to get the Teeming Hordes involved.
What’s your take on the LOM and WOTM merging?
A slack-jawed stare of ignorance is my take.
The men’s branch and the women’s branch are merging into a single organization. There was something about it in the newsletter but I admit to not looking very closely. As long as the drinks are cheap, I don’t have much of an opinion.
Sorry.
“A Milwaukee homicide victim has been identified as a well-liked fixture of the city’s Black community who supported Black Lives Matter and President Trump.”

He wasn’t voting for Biden though, so he
ain’twasn’t black.“Darryl Collins, 30, was arrested Wednesday afternoon by Chicago police for illegally possessing ammunition, which was in a loaded handgun, according to the criminal complaint.”
So the gun was legal, but the ammunition wasn’t?

More, if they’re on overtime
Probably a separate charge along with possession of a firearms. Like having drugs and a scale.
That would make sense, although the article sounds like there wasn’t a gun charge.

Of course, they are.
One of the uncommented on biases of media is which people/groups they quote as sources.
Interestingly, one group is a “far-right” militia who is hate-mongering and based on falsehoods, and the other is just a “militia”.
One group was carrying semiautomatic weapons. The other was carrying “heavy firearms”. Journalisting is hard and stuff.

Musk is denying an affair with Amber Heard or Johnny Depp?
That is correct.
Either way, Grimes is worse.
Note to all would-be gold diggers: Musk is a weird genius that would probably be barely tolerable in business, but would never, ever put a chick first.
He has a decent relationship with the mother of his children, but I’d be surprised if he marries again.
Grimes is kidding herself if she thinks she’s “The One.”
““Grimes publicly demands billionaire partner Elon Musk ‘turn off’ his phone after the billionaire tweets ‘pronouns suck’: ‘I cannot support hate’, she says”

I met Peter North about fifteen years ago. I had no idea who he was. Then later, I saw a porno and was like, “Hey! I know that dude!”
Meeting famous people is weird. I was in a bar in Sacramento that I used to hang out in, shooting pool. I ended up shooting about 10 sets with this burner looking dude, and after a while, a friend of both of ours told us about a party nearby. As we were walking over, he starts asking about what I did, things like that. Well, after a bit, I asked him the same. “Oh, I am a rock star.” Turns out he was the bassist from the Def Tones, Chi Cheng. Nice guy.

If a black man who papered the windows of his store with Biden 2020 signs and stood on a corner holding Biden 2020 signs was murdered by some random guy, it would be front page news.

Sinclair Television said on Saturday it would delay airing an interview with a conspiracy theorist who claims baselessly that Dr Anthony Fauci, the country’s top infectious disease expert, created the coronavirus behind the current pandemic.
He didn’t create it, but he may have have acted politically in response to it. I did like how he wore a mask to make a futile attempt at pitching but later took it off while sitting next to people in the stands at a ball game.
Well, like a mile or two from the “wet market,” there’s an infectious disease research center. Fauxchi is involved. Not big on deep conspiracy theories, but it’s not based on tin foil, I’ll give it that.

Chefsteps Smashburgers tonight. The secret is gelatin in the ground beef to hold in moisture.
Gelatin? how much? per pound?
1 packet gelatin and one egg yolk per pound. 1% salt by weight, salt when forming patties 30 minutes before cooking.
The trick for smash burgers is extreme crust/crunch and juiciness at the same time, and this is a pretty forgiving method.
Doesn’t that make it treif?
Some bovine gelatins are certified Kosher, but you’ll pay a premium.
Doesn’t matter, this is a cheeseburger. With bacon.

eg3, you could be sitting on a gold mine with that Corelle. Apparently folks collect that stuff for serious. My family had this pattern, and I think my oldest sister still has it and has hunted down some missing pieces (serving dishes and suchlike.)
Yeah. It’s a cool pattern. I have alot of pieces; butter dish, creamer, platters, stuff. I used to buy/restore/sell mid-century modern furniture/art/housewares.
The Corelle is all I have from that era. I’m probably gonna’ donate it to Sean, anyway.
Our early-’50s house still has the vintage pink bathroom (thankfully, it’s more “peach” than “Pepto”) with the deep burgundy trim tiles. I’d like to replace the peachy-pink toilet, but I suspect I’d have a heck of a time finding that color commode for less than an arm+leg.
Our house is 70s, and the back bathroom is still avocado green (Dad redid the master bath a dozen years ago). Well, the vanity is still there; the toilet was replaced some time back.
My apartment has I think the original salmon and black tiles from 1955 – I was in the basement the other day and for the first time I saw an open door leading to a bathroom I didn’t know was there and it was the exact same tiles.
Really? Pink toilets were extremely common.
I think the operative word is “were.”

“Based on what you know about the COVID-19 pandemic (coronavirus), would you support or oppose your state instituting a face mask mandate in public spaces, where not wearing a mask could be punishable by fine or jail time?” the survey asked.
The vast majority of voters, 72 percent, indicated they either “strongly” or “somewhat” support the idea. Of those, 53 percent said they would “strongly” support the idea, and 19 percent said they would “somewhat” support it. Thirteen percent said they would “strongly” oppose, eight percent said they would “somewhat” oppose, and six percent said they did not know.
Strongly, somewhat,? SCIENCE!
grrr. first time making pizza at the new house, and I undercooked all of the crusts. I guess 45 minute pre-heat doesn’t cut it.
Put pineapple on it and call it something other than pizza. Job done.
New oven, mine is about 50 degrees hotter than the stat is set to, as in 300=350, it’s a learning process,,,,
/several burnt meals…….
Does your oven allow you to program in an offset to correct for that?
Programmable: the shaft under the temp knob is just knurled, not keyed to one position.
Well, mine doesn’t have a “temp knob” (digital pad), but if his does, excellent. You know what to do, Yufus!
Did you adjust for altitude?
Do you have a steel?
True story- when Tres Sr. retired, he took over cooking responsibilities for him and my step mom. He noticed things done in the oven weren’t done ‘as advertised’, so he went Grainger and got a NIST-traceable thermocouple and display. I hate to think what he paid for it. Then, when he was bored, he went through every temperature setting on the oven (likely 5º increments) from lowest to full-blast. All the information recorded, he sat down with a calculator, and either reverse-log or linear integration, he made a chart, with numbers on the back showing what each apparent temperature correlated to actual temperature. Then he cut it out, went to the UPS store had it lamenated, and still has it in the drawer next to the oven.
Your Dad might be my spirit animal.
The spousal unit kept complaining that she couldn’t get her soft-boiled eggs to turn out right. I got out the Thermapen and a digital timer and went and bought two dozen large chicken eggs. Then I made her cook eggs, 1 minute apart for ten minutes, first with boiling water immersion, and then with starting from cold water. She now has an entire chart of what times she needs to cook an egg to reach a specified level of “doneness” at our altitude.
Now I have to do that for a turkey. It never ends.
Forgot to mention: all the eggs were the same temp (straight from the fridge).
White colonial raicst sciencism. You left out every important metric. What was the gender identity of the chicken laying the egg? What color were these eggs? Were these eggs properly local sourced? Were the chickens allowed to freely range? Was the egg layed on a commune run according to racial justice principles? And most importantly are you white? and if so how dare you!
Say it’s name!
I found this for “only” $389.

Kill whitey.
The draft 2020 Democratic National Committee platform being circulated in Washington aims to reinforce the view that liberals are best situated to battle for minorities seeking higher wages, better housing and jobs, and more money for schools.
With the August convention coming on the heels of the Black Lives Matter protests, it features support for the movement and an expanded pledge to root out racism.
The preamble says, “We will give hate no safe harbor. We will never amplify or legitimize the voices of bigotry, racism, misogyny, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, or white supremacy.”
In promising change, it sets up one group that has it too good and is holding minorities back: whites.
In more than 80 pages in the draft platform published by Politico, whites are mentioned 15 times, all critical, including three references to white supremacy or supremacists and one to white nationalists. The document doesn’t capitalize white as it does Black, Latinos, Asian Americans, and Native Americans.
In most mentions, the reference is to how whites are better off at the expense of others. And the promise often is to “close the gap” between minorities and whites, though no solutions are offered.
Whitey is down to what, 65% of the population? Sounds like they may be jumping the gun. But they are honest, they hate the white man and think we’ll keep on playing along if they screw us.
Kill all the white man.

The draft platform.
Interesting bit…
Democrats will enact universal background checks, end online sales of guns and ammunition,
13 close dangerous loopholes that currently allow stalkers and some individuals convicted of assault
14 or battery to buy and possess firearms, and adequately fund the federal background check
15 system. We will close the “Charleston loophole” and prevent individuals who have been
16 convicted of hate crimes from possessing firearms. Democrats will ban the manufacture and sale
17 of assault weapons and high capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing
18 requirements for owning firearms and “red flag” laws that allow courts to temporarily remove
19 guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others. We will pass
20 legislation requiring that guns be safely stored in homes. And Democrats believe that gun
21 companies should be held responsible for their products, just like any other business, and will
22 prioritize repealing the law that shields gun manufacturers from civil liability.
1 Democrats are committed to guaranteeing schools are spaces of physical and psychological
2 safety for students and educators alike. Guns have no place in our schools. We disagree strongly
3 with the Trump Administration’s dangerous and short-sighted suggestion that teachers should
4 bring firearms into the classroom.
Thought-crime, no 2A, punishing makers for the misuse of their products and leave children to be sitting ducks. Democrats are insane authoritarians that cannot be allowed to have power.
And most Repubs will let them.
Voting for Republicans is a known hate crime.
Now I’m trying to imagine a GOP platform that complains about minorities dragging down the economy.
If I’m Donald Trump, I’m coming up on stage at the debates (and if Biden stays in his basement, I’m absolutely holding it on stage at a rally. Further thoughts below*) and I am saying something like “Hey we’re all Americans here. It’s ok to be whatever kind of American you are or want to be. It’s ok to be straight. It’s ok to be gay. It’s ok to be rich. It’s ok to be poor. It’s ok to go to college, it’s ok to go to work. It’s ok to be black, and it’s ok to be white.”
*If Biden hides in his basement, Trump should go on stage at an absolutely enormous rally. Like, the biggest venue he can find. He should give a solid chunk of the tickets to every Democratic legislator, with the only requirement being that they go to people in their district, so it’s a balanced crowd. He should have Biden up on stage on a four sided monitor thing so everyone can see his drooling, wide eyed, fuzzy brain. He should insist that the moderator come live and in person, to questions from the audience. Have the questions voted on in real time, really get people involved.
Oh, and invite Kanye.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/seattle-police-chief-new-limits-on-anti-protest-gear-will-mean-adjusted-law-enforcement
Seattle’s police officers will now respond to protests and rioting through “adjusted deployment” methods because of a new city law that bans them from using some crowd-control tools, the city’s police chief said Friday.
The new law, which takes effect Sunday, “bans Seattle Police officers the use of less lethal tools, including pepper spray that is commonly used to disperse crowds that have turned violent,” police Chief Carmen Best said in a statement.
“Simply put,” Best added, “the legislation gives officers NO ability to safely intercede to preserve property in the midst of a large, violent crowd.”
It looks like Fox is quoting part of that letter.
Let the healing begin.
I believe a judge stopped it from being implemented while it gets litigated.
https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/federal-judge-blocks-seattle-ban-on-police-use-of-tear-gas/281-59e1ef7d-a7af-4b97-8f11-bfdeee816138
Which is even more insane. The city of Seattle cannot control their own police department. No matter how wrongheaded that policy is, this is worse.
If they’re going to ban non-lethal force, there’s only one thing that is left. I hope the hippies enjoy.
But I have a better idea, and I argue and will debate this point. Let them alone to destroy themselves. Just play some Lord of the Flies, you little feral morons. Can we get that on video? At least we can profit from this history lesson.

If you’re looking for new manufacture, your local FFL holders might be a better way to go assuming they can and are willing to order things that aren’t in stock. I recently acquired a Ruger 57. My local FFL couldn’t order it as his distributors are sending everything to the big boys. I went to Bass Pro Shop to get the Ruger 57.
I dunno. There are too many places online you can buy weapons. Are weapons expensive now? I’ve seen a couple over the last few days for $500-600 that I’m thinking, if I want to buy something new, I think I would buy that, and a couple more over 2K that I’d like to have.
But sorry, I don’t think I know the site, or maybe I do… I already have everything I need, so I only look at really new/unusual unique features now.
I’ve spent a bunch of money there with great results. I even picked up a couple good deals during the pandemic. Most auctions I’ve watched though (recently) have gone for higher than msrp. Don’t get caught up in a bidding war. Pick what it’s worth to you and stick to that.
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez (R) explained that while the city’s number of daily new cases is down, the virus is still being spread easily through households, as multigenerational households are commonplace in Miami.
“I would tell our residents — and this is voluntary, this is not something that we can mandate — that they should consider, particularly if they have a multigenerational household, wearing masks indoors at times with their multigenerational residents and also respecting social distance when they’re at home,” Suarez told reporters.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez (R) had a similar message at his own press conference.
Go fuck yourselves.
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors far-right groups in the US, Klayman, the founder of the Judicial Watch, is “a pathologically litigious attorney and professional gadfly notorious for suing everyone from Iran’s supreme leader to his own mother”.

A Milwaukee homicide victim has been identified as a well-liked fixture of the city’s Black community who supported Black Lives Matter and President Trump.

Diversity is best achieved by making sure everyone involved is the same color, and ideally the same ideology. You white Supremacist Nazi Zionists (can’t capitalize white) need to recognize your subhuman status and just go ahead and die to make room for the proper races.

Obama brought us all together, forever and ever and ever.
Where’s the unit solidarity? His fellow color guard unit members should have said “If he isn’t allowed to participate, then none of us participate.”
Push back. Wasn’t there a famous scene long ago where a college football team refused to play because they had a black player who some assholes at the other college said couldn’t play?

I don’t live in FL. Regardless, I urge these asshole mayors to go fuck themselves, and I don’t care if they’re wearing a mask or not when they do it, I’m only concerned about the number of barbs on the stick they fuck themselves with.

“I work for Behemoth now, they will eat me last”
You’re safe, it always happens that way.
You both better wear a mask even though you both have probably already had it and didn’t know it because you have coronavirus antibodies because you have had a coronavirus cold before.
And masks are totally effective at doing anything more than preventing your dentist from coughing into your mouth and are in no way the same relation to viruses that a chain-link fence is to mosquitoes.
nevermind that, how is it that a respiratory virus is so unknowable that they started with an admonishment to NOT wear them? Is all of this new? The course of human history led them to sternly disavow masks and then change course 180 degrees a few short months later? The closest comparable was Sars1 and the Asians were wearing the fucking masks back then. If it’s masks, then it always was masks. Pretty sure it was because we knew early on that this one was 99.5 percent survivable. Now, we know there’s a huge political upside to all of the fear mongering.
The decision to discourage mask use based upon the scarcity of rated manufactured masks. The CDC guidance from 15 years ago was that the general public should use facecoverings in the event of a influenza pandemic. Obviously sars-cov-2 isn’t influenza, but there are somethings that carry over. There was also enough doubt early on, thanks largely to Chinese misinformation funneled through WHO.
Early doubt about the means of transmission, that is.
And then there’s the natural inclination to defend a chosen direction rather than admit error and change course. Something that isn’t unique to public health officials in this current mess.
If I must, OBEY!

A buddy of mine in Houston had one with a 200hp shot of nitrous under the hood. Incredibly fast. It was a lease. And a very poor financial decision for him for many reasons.
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the mall up with our Covid dead.
In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man (or woman or non binary person)
As masked stillness and dimwittery:
But when the blast of Karen blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the bonobo;
Stiffen the shafts, summon up the blood,
Disguise rapey nature with hard-favour’d love;
Then lend the brown eye a dilated aspect;
Let fly through the portage of the head
Like an ass cannon; let the flow o’erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled cock
O’erhang and nutty her confounded face,
Swill’d with the wild and tasteful semen.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and send up every last squirt
To its full height. On, on, you noblest Glibbish.
Whose blood is fet from Zardoz and brutal-proof!
Fathers that, like so many STEVE SMITHERS,
Have in these parts from morn till even fapped
And sheathed their swords for lack of internet:
Dishonour not Winston’s mother; now attest
That those whom you call’d shitposters did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to post. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in Derpdom, show us here
The mettle of your Mauser; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not toxic lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like poonhounds sniffing clits,
Straining upon the start. The game’s afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry ‘God for Zardoz, HM and Saint SMITH!’
That took some work, Well done! the 21st would be proud!

Time to brush up on Impossibility of Compliance case law.
If you think that will keep you from getting a ticket, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
All registration and licensing requirements have been suspended till 60 days after the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions are lifted. TX law enforcement is not supposed to be making any stops for expired anything for the foreseeable future. I’ve been driving around in a 2002 Buick Park Ave with expired registration/inspection and in someone else’s name since March. It hasn’t raised a single eyebrow. Also, I drive, uh, conspicuously.
good to know. still, I’ll try to get everything squared away, but at least the pressure is off.

Blood pressure is sky high. My son popped his usual popcorn. He burns it, as usual. Alarms starts going off. I start running around like an idiot pulling smoke alarms out of the ceiling. I’m standing in foyer and shit is still beeping… loudly. I’m looking up trying to find a bad smoke detector. “Where the fuck is this motherfuckingcoming from?” It’s right here dammit. I’m looking up. Nothing to see. Turns out, it’s the CO2 detector plugged into a the wall outlet. doG, I really am a Tard. The detector has an LED. It read “END”.

Heh. Knew it was coming. Peace Lily says, ‘Love CO2″.

Just picked up my dad from the hospital. They wouldn’t let my mom wait in the lobby because they said she had a fever and would have to count her as testing positive if she stayed. The outside temperature was in the mid 90s and she had just walked from the car.
Sorry for your Mom, this whole thing Sucks….
Thanks. The thing is that my mom is perfectly healthy for a 90 year old. She didn’t have a fever at all. I was just surprised that a fever would have been enough to count as a positive test. The silver lining is that a hospital lobby probably would not have been a good place for her to hang out anyway.
I don’t think any part of a hospital is a good place for a healthy person to hang out.
I’ve been hanging out in hospitals for, well, a long time indeed, and I haven’t been sick the entire time.
Glibs are so toxic even germs avoid them whenever possible.

Has anyone seen a commercial that supposedly has a Charlie Chaplin speech in it? Its the creepiest fucking thing I have seen in a long time. A lot of “together, we can make the world a better place”, and, “Let’s fight for a world without borders”. I can’t believe I’m seeing real propaganda like this in my lifetime. My opinion of humanity as a whole has dropped so low in the last year that I can’t see it going much lower.

What’s the latest on the hurricane?
Oahu is under a hurricane warning. We will be hit within about 24 hours from now. A little jig north and we’ll stay with tropical force winds. A little jog south and we’ll have hurricane force winds. The first outer belts are bringing light rain now and I can hear the surf building.
Doug is skirting north of Hawaii so our two blockers (Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea) are out of position. One model has the eye passing over Kauai arounf midnight tomorrow.
If you visit windy.com you can zoom and and get a good idea of the storm track prediction hour by hour.

I knew that Portland and Austin argue anout which city owns “Keep {City} Weird!” But I was surprised to see Austin torch itself so they don’t come in second to Portland again.
Austin even managed s shooting death of a protester!
Oregon always seems to me to be something like what would be left of California should everything south of the San Andreas separate and roll into the sea. It’s like they’re trying to be California but don’t have the headcount and urban centers.
Austin is just where all the lefty/freaking people in Texas gravitate to – including the imports to the state.
Seattle, Portland, Austin. All well to do, educated, deeply blue cities. No massive poverty problem.
The education part is what’s interesting. I watched a French historian explain that the Einsatzgruppen leaders were chosen from young, educated men, because only intellectuals could use rhetoric and spin effectively to make ruthless killers out of ordinary men.
I’ve read that too. The framing device was that those young men were willing to do the bidding of their superiors because they believed that other people were inferior to themselves. Einsatzgruppen were also manned by a majority of former police officers. Make of that what you will.
I can’t help but wonder if this is part of it too.

Poor E.D. Just like how BLM coopted legitimate police & legal reform, they in turn are getting supplanted by white majority antifa. Boo hoo.
All narrowly focused grass roots political groups seem to get co opted by either grifters or radical psychopaths. Occupy was, the Tea Party was, and now BLM has been.
I’m afraid both Occupy and BLM were already marxist drivel, so they started out full of grifters and radical psychopaths.
