So my Ford Expedition has decided that it likes to blow its brake light fuse every so often, which causes the brake sensor switch behind the pedal to fail, which causes the parking shift interlock solenoid to not operate when you press the brake pedal. I know this because after replacing the shifter (which I broke) and the switch last time, I took it to the shop and they… replaced the fuse. But I couldn’t remember and didn’t write down which fuse it was last time. This time after another $60 5A fuse, I know. This also happened as we were dropping the kids off at my parents, who were trying to get to the beach while EDIT: Mrs. L (Sorry, hon, I totally doxxed you. Glad you don’t read this like SP) and I were trying to get to Tallahassee. Big fucking hassle. But also fun to see my father’s expression as I pulled apart trim panels to get to the override (another shitty feature. I don’t know what sort of tool you’re supposed to use on the override, but it is not readily apparent to me that it will ever work without pulling the trim panels off) and then actually got the thing in gear. So that was shitty Friday, but its been a fun Monday, besides paying someone $60 for a $0.30 part.
The truest thing Obama has ever said, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up.”

When people ask me why I think Trump is probably going to win (disclaimer: he can absolutely fuck it up), I point to events like this. Which don’t seem to be happening for Biden.
Maybe a water slide pipe is not the place to sleep for the night.
“So my Ford Expedition has decided that it likes to blow its brake light fuse every so often, which causes the brake sensor switch behind the pedal to fail, which causes the parking shift interlock solenoid to not operate when you press the brake pedal.”
Ford has a factory in Italy?
$60??? It it made out of moonrock?
Labor. Minimum hourly charge applies.
I took it to a shop. They’re good guys, but c’mon, they opened the hood. That’s $60 right there. The part was free, the time cost me.
The switch is obviously shorting out, since the fuse keeps blowing.
As Brett, said $.30 fuse, $59.70 to tell you that it’s the fuse.
The switch is cheap, but I replaced it last time. I think it might be the actual brake light connectors. I did some reading and you’ll love this. The always hot side of the switch comes from the brake light line, but when the switch closes, that is supposed to energize the solenoid and complete the circuit to the lights. But the fuse is between the generator and the switch, so if the brake light fuse is shorted, the interlock solenoid can’t energize.
Dielectric the heck out of the brake bulbs and sockets.
Good idea. More grease.

Ford was first with this BS, maybe ’67? Not being able to start in Neutral is some commie shit.
They contracted with Lucas for the electrical system.
Seems like water parks are getting more & &more death-trappy. I’ll pass.
I remember as a kid in the ‘70s seeing a guy getting tricky going down a water slide on a kneeboard before sailing right over the side and breaking his back. They’ve always been death traps in my view (they’re still fun though).
Seems like safety improvements have been somewhat negated by making crazier & crazier rides. Like that Schlitterbahn in KS that killed that politician’s kid.
Technology. Computers get faster with more memory, but we just up the mesh/texture/output resolutions and render times end up taking longer than before.
I swear that when the first water park in town opened, they had one of those hyperbolic giant slides, but thy also gave you a board resting on three narrow fins so you’d go faster.
Wifey and her sister LOVED going to
TractionAction Park when they were teens.Looks like a Darwin event to me. You should be good.

Very similar thing happened to Homer at Mt Splashmore. Season 2 or 3 IIRC.

Warning, Rickroll
You did warn us. I don’t know why I clicked.
What year is this here Expedition? I have been thinking of a Ford for my next vee-hickle
Don’t do it.
I’ve had good experience with Ford.
Nowhere near the complaints I hear about the other brands.
They can be hit or miss depending on the model, unlike Toyotas which are all good or Dodges which are all bad.
I’ve seen where they make Toyotas, they can’t be good cars.
You are mistaken. I’m on my second Prius. In the Before Times, I was driving about 30,000 miles a year. Both cars have been very reliable. To the extent the first one had any problems, Toyota stood behind the car even when it was out of warranty.
I have a 2008 4Runner with 190,000 miles on it and never had issues other than the typical maintenance and parts wearing out. Still runs great.
Must have been a fluke.
Our 2013 RAV4’s been bullet-proof.
Mrs. Dean’s 2008 FJ (shares a lot of parts with the4Runner) is the same, right down to the miles. I think we had to replace the alternator last year.
My 2014 FJ is rocking along no issues whatsoever.
#MeToo
1983 Mustang GL (the U and Y fell off before I bought it, but it ran fine for a $500 car)
1994 Mustang GT (Vortech supercharged, Borla side exhaust, learned to drive stick on it and never had to change the clutch from 2000 to 2016)
1994 Explorer Sport (it ran with the A/C compressor pulley frozen for part of a day and just happily burned away at the serpentine belt without breaking it before I could replace it. Swapped the frozen pulley out for a free spinning pulley (who needs A/C in New Hampshire anyway?), and later changed to manual locking front hubs, and it got low-20s gas mileage after that, damn good for a mid-90’s V-6 SUV)
2005 Sport Trac (Drove it for seven years until I wanted something a little bigger.)
2013 F-150 XLT Super Crew (Still got this, and it’s running great. Wish I could swap to manual locking front hubs though.)
I love my Versa, but I have some concerns about Nissan going forward given their….management issues.
Besides about to go bankrupt and dropping half their line-up, Ford has made me regret a few buying decisions in the past.
And don’t get me started on their trucks.
The Bronco is gonna be winner, if they don’t manage to really fuck the pooch.
Wait until they try to turn out 75000 instead of 7500.
I love my Versa
No one has ever said that until now.
I dunno what’s wrong with people, then. It’s a great little car. Never a day of trouble (except for the vermin that got into the air handling system, but that’s not Nissan’s fault, probably)
Is it of a size where I can fit the vehicle in the trunk of my car?
It’s a reliable people mover, but…boring. It should be faster and handle better for being a little car.
Mine is very zippy. I have a 2010. I hear that subsequent years got a smaller engine.
I liked my Crown Victoria. It was a 2003. I didn’t have any major problems with it until after about 150K miles.
I can’t say the same about my 2013 Hyundai Genesis.
I wish they still made the Crown Vic.
I’d totally buy one.
So I had driven nothing but Hyundais from 1988 to 2011. My last one was an Elantra wagon with never-ending transmission issues. When I scrapped that, I became a rabid anti-Hyundite.
After the string of electrical problems in my Genesis due to parts corroding, I plan to never buy another Hyundai.

Former Obama Foriegn Policy Douche
Who openly bragged how easy it is to deceive the press because the reporters covering him were in their 20s so they knew very little.
He went from being a speechwriter to Deputy National Security Advisor under Obama. I think he was one of the architect’s of the Iran deal.
Apostrophe? Come on, now.
That article is some stupid shit.
“Global concerns about U.S. credibility aren’t simply tied to the calamitous presidency of Donald Trump—they’re rooted in the fact that the American people elected someone like Trump in the first place.”
Once again, the American public has let the inside-the-beltway foreign interventionists down.
We are a disapointment to DC. Maybe we should just let them choose who will rule.
Global concerns about U.S. credibility
From what I can tell, our credibility is up. Just did a peace deal in the Mid-East, and all.
Now, credibility isn’t the same as popularity, but I suspect Ben doesn’t realize that. Obama seemed to be going more for popularity.
When a leftist wonk talks about foreign policy credibility, what he means is that the people who went to school with him at Harvard, or Yale, or Oxford, approve of the current US President. Nothing else matters. Their whole world revolves around the global elite approving of things.
That’s one of the main reasons our policy in the Middle East has been so fucking stupid. The people running US foreign policy have this idiotic idea that since they run the show in the US, the Westernized Ivy League types they personally know must also run the show. But in places like Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq the most powerful man in a given region, the key to US interests might be a man who speaks no language but his own, and who meets you sitting on a carpet, with an AK propped in the corner.
It’s why it’s so easy to bamboozle them in negotiations. You put on a suit, you lean over and say “I very much admire your President Obama, he was a true statesmen” and next thing you know the traitorous nitwit T. Coddington Van Vorhees IV is surrendering vital American interests because the thuggish dictator put on a Western suit and dropped a few names of the Special Envoy’s classmates in his ear.
The nitwits also have a massive inferiority complex vis a vis the Euro-weenies.
That’s one of the main reasons our policy in the Middle East has been so fucking stupid.
My Dad has said that when he was deployed in the Middle East, he noticed that the negotiations accomplished more when they were led (on the US side) by military personnel rather than state department personnel. The military would send warriors and chaplains to negotiate, while the state department would send diplomats. One of these groups was more well respected by the people on the other side of the table, and also better understood them.
Yeah, how disappointing that the stupid rubes who fight their wars feel like they should have a say in whether we start them, or when we can withdraw.
I used to own a Chevy Aveo. Worst car in the world. I had a series of problems, including one where just opening any door would make the alarm go off and not stop until it was done with its cycle. Another time the breaks were worn and I couldn’t turn the steering wheel. When things like that happened I used to listen to “Piece of Shit Car” by Adam Sandler very loudly.
Turns out that “American” Chevy was manufactured by Daiwoo in Korea and just had Chevy markings.
A friend of mine was stationed in Korea and she remarked when they first started selling them here, “its funny because in Korea they consider those shit cars.”
They were not wrong.
The Aveo was an improved version of the Metro.
The Metro was a Yugo with better press.
But excellent gas mileage!
In that it uses none, being pushed by the owner to where it needs to be?
It got 50MPG back in the late ’80s!

“I want a new gas cap for a Yugo”

The whole Galt’s Gulch section bored me. And the tiny rebellion at the end that overthrew a gubmint was meh. A Tarantinoesque ending was definitely in order.
My favorite part was the train wreck scene. Follow by the Xylophone being put into action.
My biggest issue was…99% of women would never pick John Galt over Hank Reardon and Francisco d’Anconia.
I only picked it up cuz my gramma always said it was her favorite book. After she died I felt compelled to read it. I’d never heard of libertarianism at that point in my life, so it was pretty eye opening, and I regretted never having talked politics with her. She lived her life like Dagny in Galt’s Gulch, but yeah, she would’ve gone for Hank, who was very much like my grandfather.
gone for = stayed with
My people!
Hank Rearden is the only real man in that book.
I’m an Ellis Wyatt gal, m’self, but apparently he was never under consideration by Dagny.
I listened to it.
KK, did you see the movies?
I saw #1 on my birthday and I was nearly sobbing by the end of it. “They ruined it!”
I thought the special effects making the Reardon Steel bridge was kinda cool, especially given their limited budget.
I wanted to ride a train over it.
You’re not wrong. The Rearden steel effects were very nice, but the acting was atrocious, the storytelling was flat, and there were terrible design decisions made, the first of which was that it should’ve been a period piece.
I couldn’t. I just…couldn’t. I was skeptical, but then I read the review list TOS and it became a hard pass.
What ruined it for you?
The better question is “What did it get right?”, which was almost nothing.
The storyline was recognizable.
Ugh. Sounds awful.
At one point, I had heard Angelina Jolie was slated to be involved, both in starring and in financing.

Pretty much. And they are going after people who can afford to litigate it.
Even with Roberts, I don’t see how this stands. Opening the door for states to tax non-residents on assets/income with no nexus to the state is too disastrous for even the Supes to sign off on.

right guys? at least we got someone / Cops, prosecutors.
As far as entertainers go, do rap and hip hop musicians tend to get murdered in disproportionate numbers compared to… everyone else? Not sure what is up with that.
Probably depends on how you define the genres por ejemplo, do Dimebag and Sam Cooke both count as rock and roll stars? And the total number of entertainer in each genre. percentage wise one manouche gypsy jazz artist murdered probably equals a couple hundred punk rockers.
Meh, not too much into the math for that. Could just be my own perception, but I don’t recall hearing too much about Polka band members getting shot.
Rock musicians also seem to have their own special die method, plane crashes, outside of the occasional overdose.
Polka bands kill each other with their music, duh.

There was an abandoned prison near me they were selling stupidly cheap (like $50,000). But of course, they were only selling it cheap because they had decided who they were going to sell it to. A common citizen couldn’t buy it.
On the one hand, you’d be living in a prison. On the other hand, it’s already fortified, with a surveillance system, an indoor gun range, and industrial grade electrical. I don’t know if they had sold off the kitchen and laundry appliances.

And the whole story the Bidens tell about how the presidential candidate fell in love with Jill after a blind date is completely made up, Bill Stevenson told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.”

“So my Ford Expedition has decided that it likes to blow its brake light fuse every so often, which causes the brake sensor switch behind the pedal to fail, which causes the parking shift interlock solenoid to not operate when you press the brake pedal.”
I replaced a front wheel-speed sensor on Jugsy’s GMC, since the ECU wasnt getting a signal, and disabled the ABS and traction control. Now, when you decelerate to a stop, around 10 mph it kicks the ABS on anyhow.
I got nuthin other than replace the hub that contains the tone-ring (aka magnet) that the sensor reads.
It’s the tone ring… one or more of the teeth isn’t triggering the ABS sensor. Once the wheel speed drops low enough, the signal drops out for long enough that the ABS computer thinks that wheel has locked up and kicks in the anti lock action.
I’ve had exactly the same problem.

What’s False
However, no evidence has demonstrated a pattern of ignoring the crime on the part of mainstream news media outlets, much less doing so to further a predetermined racial narrative.
Uh huh.
What’s annoying is their basic argument is that there’s no printed policy of the newspapers that say they’re not going to report on stories like this, therefore the claim is false. As if you have to prove active and conspiratorial bias instead of the proof in front of your lying eyes, that indeed the story was never reported by the NY Times.
They just don’t understand that to the Times types, there’s just no story here, so why report it? It’s not active bias, it’s passive bias, but the results are the same.
Funny how these newsfolk trying to deny this clear bias are the same ones saying we’re all unconsciously racists.
It’s a little like the reporting about how Antifa isn’t really an organization. OK, they may not have membership cards, dues, a clubhouse or regular meeting with Robert’s Rules of Order, but it sure as hell exists, and there’s some kind of organization to it.
Also, look at the timeline of their “evidence.” They are using stories published AFTER people were complaining about the media ignoring the story to prove that those people complaining were lying poopyheads.
All news media take two weeks to report things. They’re very careful to get their fact checking correct, donchakno.
What makes that story even worse is that the perp is probably batshit crazy and not likely responsible for his actions.

Hand gun isn’t enough
Problem is that when it comes to it, in most jurisdictions, it is incredibly hard to prove that someone using their bare hands was using a lethal weapon, therefore justifying the use of force in response. eg in this case, when would a court have justified it until after he was out cold.
More important than being armed is always traveling with a Buddy who is also armed.
My understanding is that you don’t need to prove your aggressor was using a lethal weapon to use deadly force in self defense. You are justified in using deadly force against unarmed attackers if there is disparity of force. Massad Ayoob gives a great breakdown of this. It varies by situation, but multiple attackers justifies it. So does size discrepancies or male vs. female.
Removing the victim’s ability to retreat (e.g., crashing their vehicle to force them out) is another element that can provide defense for deadly force against unarmed aggressors.
Never would have happened if there’d been a social worker around.
Speaking of vehicles- Suburban update:
I pulled the carburetor off, yesterday, and cleaned a bunch of horrible goo and sediment out of it. The main jets were completely blocked by crud. I cobbled it back together just enough to get fuel to dribble through the primaries. I cranked it with the carb off, and by golly some manner of gasoline derivative substance came spurting out of the fuel pump. Stuck carb back on, turned the key, and the mighty 454 Chevrolay burst into song. Sort of. It sounds as if the float no longer floats, and it’s a might rich. But progress. If I get really ambitious, I might plop the carburetor from the truck on it. That, or order up a Quadrajet rebuild kit.
*I would not have gotten involved in all this tomfoolery if it was a small block. H O 454 FTW!
I stopped using the truck with a 454 after I got one with a duramax. Which means I have to get my 454 running so I can sell it.

Europe’s plan to raise billions each year for coronavirus relief by charging ships for their pollution could inflame trade tensions at the worst moment for the global economy and set back efforts to tackle the climate crisis.
The European Commission is proposing to extend its Emissions Trading System (ETS) to shipping as one of a series of measures to help pay for rebuilding the EU economy, and to promote a green recovery from the crisis.
The European Union plans to spend 30% of its €750 billion ($889 billion) coronavirus recovery fund and next seven-year EU budget on climate-related projects in a bid to become the first carbon-neutral continent.
That should really goose the economy.
“Europe’s plan to raise billions each year for coronavirus relief…”
Each year. Whoops! Did we just admit that this coronavirus thing is going to go on forever?”
?♂️
“at the worst moment for the global economy and set back efforts to tackle the climate crisis.”
There are certain things that are just at odds with each other, and no matter how you say it doesn’t change that.
‘Carbon neutral continent’

Antarctica?
Did you forget about all those penguin farts?
But that’s natural.
Now if they were farmed penguins, that’d be a whole different matter.
Then we learn the sea lions ARE cultivating the penguins for consumption. But that’s still OK because sea lion farming is still Natural in a way that human farming isn’t.

Re: Chafed’s link above on the thugs attacking the motorist
Highway 8 connects Jena, Louisiana west to Pollock, Louisiana. On the west side of Jena the highway goes through 3 or 4 miles of a black neighborhood. I have driven through there a zillion times myself and never had any problems but I did notice that a bunch of guys would build bonfires and hang around drinking and whatnot in a vacant lot by the road.
20 or so years ago they decided to take potshots at passing white motorists (wtf?). That didnt work out very well for them. On the first try a couple of guys stopped got out of their truck and layed down half of a dozen with their shotguns.
It was a big scandal at the time but I dont remember how it all played out.
I know this – they dont have their bonfire anymore and no one has taken any more potshots at random passing cars.
I think they call that the Sherman method.
Came across this incident (which I do think I recall – the beating at least) – but apparently a little after that.

Any electricians out there? A few weeks ago, the garbage disposal switch apparently went bad. It itself was a replacement for another bad switch a couple of years ago. Now the one I just installed won’t work either. What might be causing this? I’m guessing it’s something I unfortunately need an electrician to repair?
Check the thermostat.
Switch not rated for motor loads?
Not an electrician, but first I would replace the breaker. Because if the garbage disposal is shorting, and the breaker isn’t tripping, that’s bad.
Turn off the new breaker. Then check the wiring at the disposal. Run the water. Check for leaks.
Don’t Forget GFI, if there’s a short, that can get nasty quick, and Switches don’t just fail, you have a short somewhere in the circuit.
Disregard my other comment, I thought it was the Disposal itself
Water, and it’s a shit brand, An Electrician will tell you to buy a new one, they aren’t worth the cost of service,
/ Check your Filters!
Get one rated for 15A motor load. Even better would be 20A.
unless he lives under a rock, All his circuits are rated for 15 Amp service, a 1/3 HP disposal pulls about 2-3 amps, I would put a ammeter in line and see if it was any higher than say 5, then you have a short
Get a multimeter while you’re at it. Fluke 115/116/117 are ~$100. Or something like amazon’s own. That’ll tell you right away if the switch is faulty or not. No guessing about it.
Holy shit. Fluke hiked the price over the past several years.
Get a decent multimeter. Maybe not those specific ones.
Southwire
Fluke has always been $$$$
I used to sell them. Their prices have gone down relative to inflation.
Last one I bought was was the 117 about ten years ago. At the time, if I remember correctly, those three came out as a value alternative to the Swiss army monster that the 87 had turned into. I think I paid $115 from Graybar. My thirty year old 77 is still humming along just fine.
Replaced my Fluke as I needed an RMS meter that wasn’t a small fortune.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W3BXNMP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Nice piece and really surprisingly nice input protection.
I have a $20 meter, all I need is voltage and continuity.
Check the power incoming to the switch, then out of the switch in the on position.
Also if no power turn the circuit breaker off/on sharply. Sometimes a breaker will look on but isn’t. Countertop plugins working normally? Possibly a ground fault that feeds the disposal.
I used to have a Fluke. Got lost in our move years ago, sadly, and I’ve been too cheap to buy another one.
?
Is it just a regular light switch? Motor loads are different than lights.
Garbage disposals have small motors and are designed to work with regular home switches.
1/3 hp 3 A tops
Ants? I’ve had more or less the exact same problem and it turns out ants like electricity. I replaced the switch, then the replacement stopped working a couple years later. I took the new, dead switch out of the wall and found a line of dead ants across it, cleared them away and blew some compressed air on the switch, then it worked fine again.
I know enough about electricity to be weirded out by this explanation, but not enough to actually understand what happened. No breaker was blown as far as I could tell, though my house is wired so crazy that I don’t know what else is on that circuit. Also, some of the breakers are too old to have indicators, so I suppose it’s possible it tripped.
No kidding! That switch has been where the damned sugar ants have been coming into the kitchen. I’ve seen them streaming out from uunder the switchplate.
Wow, yeah I’ve got the same problem. I put some of these out and get rid of them for a year or two, then they come back. I’m tempted to caulk the switchplate, but then they’ll just go somewhere else that’s harder to find I think.
And the more I think about it, the more I think it was a tripped breaker. From what I can find, code says the disposal is supposed to be on its own circuit. The previous owner never bothered to label the panel, though.
Second Terro for sugar ants. I use the droplets on cardboard squares and it clears up an infestation quickly.
Need to up my perimeter spray. Currently looking at Suspend SC.
+1 for Terro traps
Even if it’s ants, I would definitely still replace the breaker.
Had a ‘bug’ in my AC relay outside. A $100 bill for a vacuum and air pressure clean out by the tech
I know enough about electricity to be weirded out by this explanation, but not enough to actually understand what happened
Electricity can do weird things. I had a dusk-to-dawn security light that would turn off whenever the heat pump turned on and stay off the rest of the night. So it’s night, the light turns on, heat pumps kicks on, light instantly turns off and stays off until next night. Heat pump and light were on different circuits. I have a 200 amp panel and the electric company installed a new transformer in case that was the issue.
Never could figure it out. Ended up installing a new breaker with new wire to a new security light. That fixed it.
“Negotiating with President Obama was all about the fact that he felt that he knew the world better than you,” said Eric Cantor, the Republican House majority leader from 2011 to 2014. “And he felt that he thought about it so much, that he figured it all out, and no matter what conclusion you had come to with the same set of facts, his way was right.” Biden, he said, understood that “you’re gonna have to agree to disagree about some things.”
A former Republican leadership aide described Obama’s style as “mansplaining, basically.” The person added that Biden “may not be sitting down talking about Thucydides but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a high level of political intelligence.”
I’ve worked with a boss like that and they are the sorts who drive people away. They invite you to a meeting under the guise of understanding your work better or getting feedback but it usually means that you have to listen to them pontificate about some bullshit and when you do get a chance to say something, they shit all over your idea.
That explains the dude bro asshats that were pawned off on us from the Obama White House back when I worked at State. You were NOT ALLOWED to contradict them in any way, and they were sexist AF. Going up to the executive suite was like entering a fucking frat house during rush week.
As much as I dislike Trump, his low-level appointees have been excellent for the most part in the agency where I currently work.
I think one of the big issues with people like Obama is that they have been told their whole life how brilliant they are and never had to deal with adversity nor ever had to compromise because they always got their way.
Trump is a jackass but he was in an industry that required you to at times to be forceful but other times compromise to get the job done.
I remember when Obama had this meeting with GOP and Democrat leaders about ObamaCare and John McCain stated the reason behind his opposition, Obama didn’t even consider that McCain may have been making a valid point and was not the least curious about McCain’s and the GOP’s point of view. All he said back to McCain was basically, “I won the election and you didn’t, so your point doesn’t matter.” It was then when I realized how much of piece of shit this guy is.
^This^
The guy is a coddled child in a man’s body
That’s why dude without any sort of irony trot out the most idiotic statements like, “Not paying your fair share.”
His wealth was gained through hobnobing with the “right”people and being able to make money off of his political career and connections. He never had to work for it, so in his mind whenever someone because wealthy, they didn’t work for it because he and his wife never worked for their wealth.
I will forever remember him as the unaware idiot that explained the economic downturn as a result of a run of ‘bad luck’
You cant make shit like that up.
“‘Shovel ready’ was not as shovel ready as we expected *chuckling*”
Yeah, that was the moment I realized just how stupid that fucker actually was, despite his veneer of sophistication and intellectualism.
Oh man, did I have one of those.
He was in and out within a year but apparently he remained friendly with a few coworkers I liked so I had to bite my tongue a lot. One of them even suggested that me moving to his new company would be a good idea.
I have been retired too long. I don’t have to ask anyone for anything or explain myself at all. I have gotten used to telling people like that to blow it out of their ass if they start shoveling horseshit. It is just too easy for me.
*In fairness I wasn’t all that different before I retired*
We had a saying in the army
“Right is hard to beat, rank is impossible to beat”
And he felt that he thought about it so much, that he figured it all out, and no matter what conclusion you had come to with the same set of facts, his way was right.
Obama is a Glibertarian?
Well Glibertalitarian, smae attitude facing the other way.
The difference is, I am right.

Why do ya’ll hate the Chow Chows?
He told us not to say dinner.
They’re mean AF and almost as ugly.
They’re not ugly and they have blue tongues. What is more cool than that? I had one. He was meaner than hell, not to family, but to other dogs and people, you had to keep an eye on him. One time I accidentally left the door open because I’d come back in the house to get my phone or something and by the time I was back outside, he was attacking my neighbors dog on the guy’s porch, fer fuck sake. Every time he would see that dog, he’d go straight for him. I had to finally get rid of him, gave him to a guy who lived way out in the country, he was not town safe.
Chows are the worst with other dogs. Years ago we had a neighbor who had two of them, and we learned quickly to head in the other direction whenever he walked them, because they would try to attack our dog at every opportunity.
Yeah, I know. I have no idea what my neighbors dog did to him, but as soon as he would see him, he’d just charge right at him. I guess he was the closest other dog to fight.
I felt terrible when I had to get rid of him because he was a birthday present to my son for his 7th birthday. And he was the sweetest dog ever with family, but he seemed to have some primal urge to fight other dogs and was scary aloof around other people, even people he’d been around a lot. He snapped at a friend of mine and I thought he was going to attack a guy just walking down the street outside once, if I hadn’t of caught him. Just was no longer worth the risk.
Everyone says that, but the double handful of Chows I’ve met have been giant adorable snugglefluffs.
A lot of wrinkles.
Heh. KK’s autocorrect threw a wrinkle in her post.
No, a Chinese cat is dinner.

What’s he done now? I wouldn’t call him the worst. There are plenty of lefties out there that really, really should not try to cross the road in front of me but Juan isn’t one of them.
The guy is a lefty and does engage in dishonesty but….I find it hard to dislike him as much as I do most lefties.
Yeah, Juan is just dumb as a box of rocks. He’s sort of the sad sack, token lefty guy, of Fox News.
I often feel sorry for him. On The Five it’s as if he’s sitting on the ledge in the dunking tank, waiting for Gutfield or one of the others to throw a ball that drops him into the water,
The show would be better if it was a bit more balanced, perhaps three conservatives and two progs rather than four conservatives and one not-too-bright prog.

Okay, so this bottle of gifted wine says it is a blend of Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Petite Sirah.
I’m thinking of using it in a stew base. That reminds me, how much simmer time between carrots and potatos so that they’re both properly cooked at the same time?
That is a strange blend. Sounds good for stew.
I have been known to pull carrots from the garden, rinse them off and eat them…i.e. it doesnt matter how cooked carrots are. Potatoes…not so much.
This is why I don’t eat vegetables.
Alternatively: cut the potatoes to about the same size as the carrots and stop overthinking everything.
“stop overthinking everything.” Well, He iS a Glib, what choice does he have?
Heh.
“If you’re happy and you know it, overthink.

See, not everything is made in china.
Pointless stuff, sure.
Some people might scoff at this and say “oh, that’s not really stew”, but……I don’t like how mushy veggies tend to get in stews, so I often will roast them in the oven and then add them to the stew shortly before serving.
That sounds like a great idea, thanks!
Depends on how big they are.
Assuming cut to the same size, none large than one inch.
How soft/crunchy do you want the carrots?
soft, no snap.
“flaccid penis”
Put ’em in at the same time.
Put all but one piece of the potatoes in the stew 12 minutes and 31 secs before the carrots. put the last potato piece in after the stew is finished cooking, If you get the raw potato in your bowl you are the king of dinnertime.
and sacrificed to the Gods to bring Breakfast the next morning?
Now I’m craving short ribs. But I don’t really cook in the summer. First cool day (high temp under 70) I always cook butternut soup and roast chicken. May have to switch that up for some kind of red meat stew.
Who else likes butternut squash? Particularly the soup. My mom loved it, I can’t stand it. Any other sexists in the audience should see where I’m going with this…
I love butternut squash soup….what kind of monster doesnt?
butternut, onion, bacon, chicken stock. Simple and delicious.
Well, not butternut then, but think there are any foods that show a sex-divided preference? I didn’t have any other examples behind my skimpy concept.
Mom’s version didn’t include bacon, which kinda sounds like cheating. “Oh, you don’t like X? Dumbass, just X, Y, Z, bacon, A, and, B, Voila!”

Never had a Twatter account. Left Facebook 12 year ago. Was on Parler for a while, but it just bored me. I’t like the reverse of Twitter on the conservative side. No progs will hang around there because they’re so outnumbered, not what they are used to. Outside of that, posting a clever or even not clever meme, means more to those people than the best written words. Don’t go there looking for intellectual conversation. Just say that progs suck with your best meme, and you’re good. Outside of that, it’s buggy and everyone seems to follow everyone else.

Cicadas look at Jim Carey and ask, “You really think that is the most annoying sound in the world? Check this out.”
The ones I can hear over Skype when I talk to my friend in Nagoya?
Never heard anything that bad here on the east coast.
Cicadas are a constant here. The most homesick I ever felt was living outside of Louisiana for a year and then watching the movie ‘The Last of the Mohicans’ and in one scene the background noise included both cicadas and bluejays. I knew then I was going home come hell or high water.
Makes sense. I’ve never felt homesick in my life. I understand why people feel it, but just never had it.
You could be like me, I moved around so damn much I don’t even know what a home is. Maybe some day.
You really can’t ever “go home” once you’re gone long enough. My hometown feels more alien than, say, Seoul.
Yeah, I get it. The only 2 places I’ve ever really felt was home, was Simi Valley, CA, and my grandfather’s place down in Eastern, KY and I didn’t even live there except a couple of years, but I’d go down there and spend summer every year during my teen years. Lots of hiking in the mountains and camping, lots of fishing, it was great. I hated IN when I moved there, and I’ve never felt at home in MD, I can’t wait to get the hell out of here.
Sounds like the Poconos. I hear there’s an airport for sale.
I haven’t been back to my original home town to feel any kind of alienation or that it’s passed me by.
I went a long time without having a place that I considered “home.” My parents moved out of state when I was in college, and of course your first few jobs/residences out of college are temporary. But then I fell in with a good group of people and Austin became “home.”
We own land that has been in the family for five generations. It was a godforsaken wilderness that my ancestors hacked out farms on when you couldn’t give that land away. It’s in my blood. When I die I have instructed the following generation to just take me there and toss me out anywhere on that land. Or bury me there. Or scatter ashes, I dont care, just leave me there.

Damn, I drank too much beer last night. Didn’t really want to drink any beer today, but how else do you get rid of a hangover besides a couple beers. I know, don’t drink. Too late for that.

Thank God, my tall cans just arrived. I am saved from this hangover! I hope. My wife is laughing at me for being so buzzed last night. I was yelling at my brother because we were co-oping a game and he kept doing stupid shit.
You have beer delivery?
Yup, Drizly. 15-20 minutes, it’s great.
And of course, GA got no.
From my youth:
Do you guys deliver?
The bad thing here is the blue laws. I mean depending on where you are.
If you’re in Baltimore county, no sales on Sunday. In Howard county, you can buy beer 24 hrs a day, 365 days a year. In Baltimore City, no one knows what the rules are, in fact, the entire city has no fucking idea what they’re doing except for stealing everyone’s money they can get their hands on.
But all the ones out of the city have stopped delivering, and the one little deli near me that had carry out liquor sales on Sunday, went out of business after 59 years because of the stupid Corona shutdowns, and Baltimore City is still the only place around here doing anything like that, everyone else is back to business as usual.
I was guessing weed.

There for a while when I was in my 20s, it was both, always both. I had lots of friends the same way. You just didn’t have one without the other. Then I stopped weed, but I never really got over the beer.

Mostly of interest to my fellow Canuck Glibs, but what the Hell:
Canada’s Finance Minister, Bill Morneau, resigned both from the portfolio and his seat as an MP ’bout 45 minutes ago now. Sacrificial Lamb, thrown under the bus either by or for The Hair That Walks Like A Man™ in response to tanking polls due to the WE scandal. In a just world, this would trigger a non-confidence vote followed by a Federal election (which would be bad for the Libs, ’cause the CPC has actually pulled ahead of the Libs in the latest polls).
Sadly, we do not live in a just world.
