As much fun as I’ve made of preppers over the years, we’ve done it anyway. And it just feels like things are going to get worse, much worse. I’m thankful that we can get to remote locations quickly, and doubly thankful that SP has my back. But, know what? It’s Sunday and I’m going to relax after having spent most of yesterday working, mowing the lawn, weeding, picking up dogshit…. Yes, that means drinking today.
But before I commence to heading in the blackout direction, let’s see who was born on this day: a fishing guy; a guy who has your number; a guy who was quite aromatic and neglected overlap; a guy who taught me everything I know; one of the stars of the dullest movie ever made; the only Mustache to ever rival P Brooks; a guy notorious for sinking ships; and a no-talent but big-named piece of shit holding a microphone because he’s not good enough for even a bit part in a Mafia film.
Now let’s relax with some headlines.

Grant Reeher, a professor of political science at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School, said that while Trump had said much worse than Biden in terms of “levels of offensiveness or levels of insensitivity or thoughtlessness,” the peril for the Democrat lay in a somewhat different area.
“It is less clear that Biden is saying those things on purpose. In other words, there is this sense that he is not fully in command of what he is intending to say. … That’s where the potential problem begins to open up for him.”
The Trump campaign this week pushed for an additional debate beyond the three already scheduled, believing one-on-one comparisons between the two men will play to the president’s advantage.
He says things offensive to white liberals, anyway.

Why would their paychecks jump? The deferment is on the employer side of the withholding, not the employee side. So it’s a really good move for small businesses, but the average person is going to get confused by this.

Trump’s record on racial matters includes talking about “very fine people on both sides” of racist violence in Charlottesville, Va.; reportedly branding nations in the Caribbean and Africa “shithole countries;” asserting that the four nonwhite Democratic congresswomen known as “the Squad” should “go back” to the “crime infested places” from which they “originally came,” despite all four being U.S. citizens; and tweeting, amid unrest following the death of George Floyd, that “when the looting starts the shooting starts.”

Assume a can opener
On that score, Griffith’s modeling reaches two key conclusions.
First, it is still possible to reduce US greenhouse gas emissions in line with a 1.5°C pathway. Specifically, it is possible to reduce US emissions 70 percent to 80 percent by 2035 (and to zero by 2050) through rapid electrification, relying on five already well-developed technologies: wind and solar power plants, rooftop solar, electric vehicles, heat pumps, and batteries.
Think of those technologies as the infrastructure of 21st century life. If everyone uses carbon-free energy to heat their homes and get around, the bulk of the problem will be solved.
Second, to decarbonize in time, substitution of clean-energy technologies for their fossil-fuel counterparts must ramp up to 100 percent as fast as possible, after a brief period of industrial mobilization. Every time a gas or diesel car is replaced, it must be replaced with an EV; every time an oil or gas furnace is replaced, it must be replaced with a heat pump; every time a coal or gas power plant goes offline, it must be replaced with renewable energy.
“Electrify everything.”
What a fucking hoax. We’ll all be free, once we’re lugging our groceries home on the back of an electric moped.
Think of those technologies as the infrastructure of 21st century life
No.
No nuclear power? The guys a grifter.
I tapped out right there.
Who doesn’t want to quadruple their power bill in hopes of funding technology that doesn’t exist yet?!
Shit… we’ve got people at our local grocery stores trying to sell people on putting a windmill on their lot to save on their power bill. I live on a quarter acre lot with 3 maples, and 2 oaks. There is no place on the lot that you can put a windmill that will do anything except annoy the neighbors.

Aaaaand, here it comes:
There’s no way to accomplish a rapid energy transition with market-based policies
In his decarbonization “field manual” (written with colleagues, also on the Rewiring America site), Griffith is frank about what will be necessary to drive the MFT:
A 100% adoption rate is only achieved by mandate. The invisible hand of markets is definitely not fast enough; it typically takes decades for a new technology to become dominant by market forces alone as it slowly increases its market share each year. A carbon tax isn’t fast enough, either. Market subsidies are not fast enough.
Businesses and the market can and will help, he says, but “when Mother Nature arm–wrestles with the invisible hand, she will always win.”
A MFT cannot be accomplished through the usual incremental tax tweaks. A three- to five-year industrial ramp-up, followed by a sustained period of 100 percent substitution, would require wartime mobilization, which entails government taking a direct hand in industry, working with it to hit specific production targets through some mix of incentives, penalties, and mandates. For the first three to five years, it would be something more like a command economy than Americans are used to.
It is difficult to imagine such unity of purpose in today’s political circumstances (to say the least), but America has met big challenges with decisive government action before.
There may be a brief period of disruption as the Ministry of Plenty assumes complete control of the means of production, but it will all be worth it, in the end, when we of the Inner Party are living it up in our fabulous cities in the clouds.
Five year plan for energy? WCPGW?
I don’t need to wonder if he hasn’t done the numbers on how polluted China would be if they ramped up production of solar panels to meet the demand this fool is talking about. Those panels aren’t going to just magically pop out of some box somewhere.
What woke-environmentalist gives a shit about how polluted China is? Oh hey, racist/xenophobe much?
Well, I did notice one of the names from that group of techno-gaia worshipers seemed to be of south Asian persuasion so it might just be that he does know how bad the outcome would be for China and he’s good with that.
Environmentally bad true, but China will make major economic bank on that, so not such a good trade-off.
They’re perfectly clean, just like every other developing nation. Same as their electric car runs on electricity, you know, from the wall? Not coal, nuclear, or natural gas.
There’s an incessant PSA now that goes something like “freedom… to wear hoodies… to breathe…” Over/under on how many days before race gets injected into this issue…?

I’m not saying we went through the prepper phase. (Imma throw Tom T under the bus for this one….but I kinda went along.) All I’ll say is that our TP stash sure came in handy a few weeks ago.
We aren’t really preppers but more like volume buyers ’cause we live away from the big box stores plus winter brings even more isolation. I like to think that’s it’s money in the bank, even with interest, as inflation ramps up.
American households could have great things: solar on every roof, powering heat pumps in every building, and EVs in every garage, all communicating and coordinating, bringing stability to the grid. Homes could be more comfortable, cities could be quieter, the air could be cleaner, power could be more reliable, energy costs could be lower, and front-line communities could be free of the burden of living next to and suffering disproportionately from fossil fuel infrastructure.
The US could be a more prosperous, healthier, and pleasant place to live.
“For so long we’ve been sold the lie that we have to choose between a livable planet and a thriving, equitable economy,” says Varshini Prakash, executive director of the Sunrise Movement. “The Rewiring America Plan puts that lie to rest once and for all. We can achieve a just transition to a better world out of the wreckage of this economic crisis.”
That’s the story that needs to be told about tackling climate change. Not a story of privation or giving things up. Not a story of economic decline or inexorable ecological doom. A story about a better electrified future that is already on the way.
We can muster the effort and investment over the next 10 to 15 years to accelerate it, to reach it in time to avert the worst of climate change. We can have clean air, clean energy, a prosperous economy, and a stable climate, all the things we want, if we’re just willing to do the work.

You’re not gonna believe this
Schools are reopening, amusement parks are welcoming back visitors, and outdoor dining is the new way to eat out. But despite the signs that life is returning back to normal, the coronavirus pandemic has gone nowhere.
That’s why a group of researchers at Duke University created a simple technique to analyze the effectiveness of various types of masks which have become a critical component in stopping the spread of the virus.
The quest began when a professor at Duke’s School of Medicine was assisting a local group buy masks in bulk to distribute to community members in need. The professor wanted to make sure the group purchased masks that were actually effective.
In the study published Friday, researchers with Duke’s physics department demonstrated the use of a simple method that uses a laser beam and cell phone to evaluate the efficiency of masks by studying the transmission of respiratory droplets during regular speech.
——-
Public health experts have spent months emphasizing that masks are one of the most effective tools to help fight the pandemic, and many US states have now introduced some kind of mask requirement.
But when testing their effectiveness, researchers discovered that some masks are quite literally useless.
No shit. Shirley?
It has nothing to do with “effectiveness”.
It’s an ostentatious declaration of fealty to the Greater Good. Proof of love for one’s fellow man.
Looks at the numbers in New York, disagrees.
Oh, they mean the PANIC.
The government opened a Pandora’s Box they will never be able to close. They traumatized people by locking down and putting them in masks. The problem with those idiotic strategies it tells and signals to people to be afraid and to rely on a vaccine. They’ve created a Stockholm Syndrome scenario and people won’t come out now. The government absolutely knew corona viruses never go away and they should have proceeded accordingly to prepare the population for that reality. You know, like Sweden did. Instead it was fear monger porn. Good luck getting them to adjust now unless you force them. I mean, you force stupid masks wearing so why not force them back into normalcy, right? idiots. Complete unwise and incompetent idiots rule over us.
Look at the mentality in Nova Scotia. Go read the Tweets. This is what you get and those people squawk the loudest. The rest of us are ready to just get on with it but good luck with the rest of the people who only look at this through the ‘number of cases’ without context.
The government is gonna have to come up with some ploy where they dangle some sort of treatment or faux-vaccine in their faces just to soother their fears and shut them up.
Never mind that HCQ and RFL-100 DO work as treatments significantly reducing deaths. The government should be out there singing and dancing saying how even if there are increases or ‘waves’ they can handle it.
But nope. Stay with the masks and be scared.
May they all rot in hell.
This is absolutely leading to forced vaccinations or whatever someone comes up with that they choose to call a vaccine. That’s when the real fun starts. Deblasio tried and failed to force measles vaccinations on the local Jews. This is gonna be a shit-show a million times more shit-showy.
I’m also going to say it won’t be forced. By the time it comes, there will be too much literature and data that point to coronavirus simply not being a virus to justify that. The truth and facts will eventually win the day.
I understand the conspiracy theories out there (and they may even be true to some degree) about Big Pharma wanting its payoff and Bill Gates and all that shit. But I think this virus is not cooperating and they know it. So if there’s some kind of force keeping this panic going, it can’t go on.
People have to now do their part. It’s NOW they have to start pushing back. They’ve been obedient so far but that’s enough.
I have to be positive.
The vaccine thing will be the tipping point for a lot of people, I think.
Thanks to Ozy’s Anthrax horror story, it will definitely be mine.

This seems to be the universal strategy. We’re panicking harder than we did when it was a thousand deaths a day.
I’ve pretty much convinced myself that this is an inentionally manufactured panic intended to hurt Trump in November. The thing is I don’t think it’s going that way right now. So I ask myself what is the big GOTCHA they have planned for late October? Or is this all they have? Just draw out the lockdown and scream Orangemanbad! He let people die!
I know. It seems like we’re doubling down.
I told my wife there are three ways they will play how the masks will be interpreted:
-If the numbers go down. It won’t be ok. ‘Remove them’. It will be ‘great! Keep going!’.
-If the numbers stay steady it will be it’s ‘See? It’s working and keeping things stable!’
-if the numbers increase the narrative will be ‘It would be worse if we didn’t use them. So keep them on!’
Everything we’re doing is the opposite of what should be done and our perception is also inverted as a result.
If the numbers increase, to me, it would signify they don’t work. But honesty, I have no idea how they can possibly judge if they work or not. The science on their usage is already flawed to being with. And bureaucrats are arbitrarily setting rules at this point anyway. What a mess.
And people are complete idiots for going along with it. IDIOTS.
Hell, they keep talking about the total cases going up like it’s unexpected. FFS, if you keep adding new cases to the existing cases, the number can ONLY go up.

I’ve been putting one of mine back together after a long long story involving a shitty “specialist” and me having to put many things right, weld ‘er up and paint (I hate doing bodywork) and I just know from experience that any for sale advert will involve a deluge of messages from unscrupulous c*(&bags trying to browbeat me down to trash cash or just saying “WOTS BEST PRICE M8 WILL COME TODAY? [sic]”. Add to that there are two particular breakers widely known to anyone with these particular cars who are genuinely highly unpleasant people who tend to get what they want via intimidation, coming round with a gang of their compadres, who are pretty much guaranteed to try it on. I’m so over screwing about with cars. I think the only way I’d ever get back into it is if I had Ferrari money and a really decent home garage/workshop. I was, for some time, a “blight” on the neighborhood with cars on jackstands etc. #neveragain unless I lived out in the sticks in west Texas, where I think it would be weird not to, along with broken down warshers and refrigerators.

BLUE LIVES MATTER
“192 move over violations”
Is it wrong to applaud those?
Oh, Sean..
My bad. I thought it was for people failing to move right when not passing. Fucking slow ass left lane campers…
Not in the great state of New York! Here we are all about showing proper respect for authority.
Fuck that noise.
Proper respect is to organize a woodchipper parade.
We’ve got the same law here in Ohio, it passed a couple years back.
See? No problem with all the billionaires moving to Florida.
The phony crowd noises on the empty stadia are distracting and stupid. Lifted from The Spectator (apologies for the long quote):
“The graph of new cases in the UK roughly leveled off throughout July — but it has not plateaued at zero. The PM gives every indication that only zero will do. Thus as long as the coronavirus persists, the fearful prophylactic measures will continue. In trade for this valiant vigilance on our behalf, we merely have to sacrifice: our friends. Any new friends. All live performance — music, plays. Restaurants. All occasions, like proper weddings, funerals, birthdays and extended-family celebrations. Travel. Colleagues. Any search for love. Any moving communal experience, like festivals. Dentistry. A functional National Health Service. Oh, and the economy — and in case you need translation, that means the country, full stop[…]Boris’s ‘nuclear option’ of another total national lockdown remains on the table. Why on earth? The one constructive conclusion to draw from this debacle is that long, indiscriminate national lockdowns to suppress infectious disease are a catastrophe. Yet the most horrifying consequence of COVID-19 could be that lockdown — which once applied only to prisons — becomes officialdom’s established knee-jerk response to any new contagion.”
We’re well into lunatic territory now. Even if you get the cases to zero, which I think is impossible. How are you going to prevent to reintroduction of the virus without collapsing the economy? Foreign tourism is going to go to zero. International business travel, zero…
They’re going to set us back 150 years on global travel.
That’s frightening. But not going to happen. Even sheep have a breaking point.
“Even sheep have a breaking point”
I’m beginning to doubt this. The past 6 months have confirmed to me that a large majority of people really do prefer a comfortable prison to messy freedom.
I’M TRYING TO REMAIN POSITIVE.

“In trade for this valiant vigilance on our behalf, we merely have to sacrifice…”
And if you continue to go along with this you will be trading anything and everything of value until they have you living in a multi-family shared hovel, bland food packets rationed daily with the 1.28 gallons of potable water (the amount determined necessary by your government), and your daily 72 minute daily power surge to charge the devices you are allowed.
Merely sacrifice?
HAVE THEY SEEN THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE LOCKDOWNS? The horrific outcomes are criminal.
Does anyone in the government KNOW this? It makes no sense by now they haven’t been briefed or aware of the destruction under way due to this spectacularly incompetent line of thinking.
It’s malice. Pure psychopathic malice if they mean it.
I think the “merely” was sarc.
I’m pretty sure the average politician believes the economy can be stopped and started like their car. No big deal if you park it in the driveway for a couple days (weeks? months?). It will start up as good as new whenever you need to.
Even if they stopped this game right now and told everybody to go back to normal – wear a mask if you want to – and businesses could try to start up again I doubt we would have a reasonable assessment of how fcuked we are as soon as 6 months from now. Huge swaths of the economy will be stuck and unable to function – some industries won’t be functional because some previously innocuous material or part hasn’t been produced for 7 months and we’ve gone through all there was in stock.
This is really gonna suck.
I tried to explain that to friend who supports lockdowns. He’s all happy we’re back at work and in masks. It wouldn’t compute in his mind that this is a lagging indicator of sorts. We’re only going to see the fall outs in 2021 and beyond. THAT’S where the real fun begins.
To them the economy is ‘just money’. Think about that for a second. They think we can just make it back at the snap of a finger.
How do you digest over 50 million North American without work? That fact has yet to manifest itself.
And the debt incurred for this?
The tourist industry is essentially dead at this point, service industry is barely holding on, and it’s the asshole white collar workers who haven’t missed a paycheck saying we need to keep doing this. I can understand if there’s a class war that comes up in the next four years.
I was watching Pittsburgh soccer last night – no fake crowd noise – their coach is notorious for the often obscenity-laden screaming at his players for ninety minutes straight. I’d rather hear that than the stupid laugh track.

Rufus (grinning): Am I?
I’d be looking for all sorts of past recoded laugh tracks from sitcoms if I were the sound guy.
Anyway. How anyone can watch sports these days is beyond me. It’s so fricken depressing. Those card board cut outs remind me of that serial killer in the movie ‘Maniac’.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maniac_(1980_film)
Even the lower leagues are saturated with woke shit now. I’ve just about had enough.
The government is gonna have to come up with some ploy where they dangle some sort of treatment or faux-vaccine in their faces just to soother their fears and shut them up.
Government certified Faith Healers; that’s what we need.
Heaven forfend the media might report “350 million people did not die yesterday, and neither did you. Go out there and have a great day!”
I think they’re called “contact tracers”.
Those panels aren’t going to just magically pop out of some box somewhere.
It’s a hat, I tell you. They pull those solar panels (and everything else which miraculously appears on “store shelves”) out of a magic hat.

Gravitas
To be sure, there is good reason for Biden — and all Americans — to be leery of the debates. As former White House Press Secretary Joe Lockhart wrote, “It’s a fool’s errand to enter the ring with someone who can’t follow the rules or the truth.”
Given Trump’s track record with presidential debates, each encounter will likely turn into some mashup of professional wrestling, reality television and presidential politics. Biden will likely conduct himself in the way that candidates have since John F. Kennedy met Richard Nixon in 1960 — and attempt to outline key policy positions while embodying the gravitas of a president. But his efforts will inevitably be overshadowed by the chaos standing 6 feet or more away from him.
Yup.
To be sure, that’s some quality derp.
That’s pretty funny about Kennedy-Nixon, since those who listened to the debate on radio clearly saw it as a win for Nixon. It was Kennedy’s appearance on TV that made it a win for him.
So the man has the wherewithal to have the top job in the world, go toe to toe to negotiate with other world leaders, rally the country in times of national tragedy, and convince Congress to get on board with his vision, but can’t handle an hour with Orangemanbad?
GT, don’t worry about foxes and cats. There was always some scaredy Karens spreading stories about foxes tearing children to pieces etc but the only ones who ever got snarly and bitey were the ones said Karens/there husbands cornered with a broom. With regards to cats, I lived in a neighbourhod with many foxes, and many cats, and there was never a single instance of anything. My old girl (RIP, little lady) would just sit and watch them keenly as they gave her a wide berth, never taking their eyes off her. She was the fiercest cat on the block, though. Totally owned the place. They just used to stay out of each others’ way. Any time I’d here a cat growl or scream it was an inter-cat dispute, and mostly just for show without it coming to blows. One time my girl snuck up on nextdoor’s cat while she was sleeping in the flowers, and batted her on the head before springing back to a safe distance. Nextdoor’s cat woke up and I don’t think she immediately realised what happened. Cats definitely have a sense of humor. I’m off on cat stories now. I used to love watching her chase squirrels.
Blimey, a Limey
My neighbors are always telling me my cat (who refuses to be an indoor cat) is gonna get killed by the numerous neighborhood bobcats. My wife is rooting for that I think. It’s been 5 years. One time I went outside and saw both my cat and a bobcat relaxing not too far apart.
I think the bobcat will just stick to rabbits.
Why not? It’s easier food.
Yeah, zactly. Why try eating something that will claw your face off when there are hoppy bunnies to gobble up? I like bobcats.
Coyotes routinely get cats and small dogs around here. It’s a bad idea to have them out at night.
Yes, coyotes/wolves are different.
The greatest threat to an outdoor cat where we are is the busy main street just a couple of houses up from us. Happily, Official Cat shows no interest in going outside, even when we walk past him to put food out on the porch for his (girl?)friend. I think he may have been there/done that before landing at the Humane Society, so he’s not about to subject himself to that again.
We were training our kittens to the cat door when we had a coyote sighting. They’re both angry about being suddenly indoors-only cats.
Oh and that’s because they have no front claws.
Sterling Snot MurderMouth RazorFingers [insert GT’s/TT’s surname] has a full set of well-honed claws. We are thrilled that he actually uses the scratching pad. Not that he won’t also sink his blades into the leg of my yoga pants when he wants me to pick him up.
“Sterling Snot”?
We love cats but we don’t love torn-up furniture and curtains.
They’ve done a number on our blinds and nothing says “white trash” like broken blinds.
“Sterling” was the name the Humane Society bestowed upon him. “Snot” was the name Tom T. hung on him because when we first met the cat, he had two little bare (white) spots on either side of his nose. Those are long gone, but in Self-Fulfilling Prophecies, the feline can sneeze and propel prodigious amount of mucus.
At the very least the kitteh is cute when sleeping.
Good thing cats lounge a lot.
He (the cat) routinely gets up in my face first thing in the morning and does his level best to prevent me from getting out of bed. Fortunately, I tend to sleep on my side, but he’s still between me and the edge of the bed, and he pulls the passive resistance thing in a manner that would’ve made Gandhi proud.
Please don’t let them outside! They can’t defend themselves.
We don’t. That’s what I’m saying.
After a coyote sighting, we closed off the cat door.
Good. But it’s not just coyotes; I’m thinking about other cats.
/recalls the vicious feral cat fights that took place in my back yard every night at my previous residence
Smart kitty. IMHO the outdoors largely sucks for them. Yeah, once in a while they want out but it’s hard to beat free food and safety.
Many thanks for the reassurance. So far the only critters observed this lovely morning here at Tranquility Base have been birds and squirrels.
True. In one of his past lives, Tom T had a cat who would dangle a paw off the side of the bed to bait their otnay-ootay-ightbray Yorkie. When little Artie would come up to sniff the kitty’s paw, the cat would send him flying across the room.

It appears XY has eaten all the Spam out of our 72-hour kits, so the extent of my prepping will be to refresh those and stock some water since he drank all of that too. I learned my lesson during the Great Mojo Prepper Panic of 2008 when I spent money in a panic and scattershot without knowing WTF I was doing or should do. Talk about information overload. I have a camping locker with basic stuff, but actually using it all may prove beyond our capabilities. I’m used to a full-size shovel and ax. This little fold-up do-hickey is … questionable.
Mmm… spam.
Hawaiians tell me it goes well with pineapple.
No accounting for taste.
Ooo… spam, pineapple, and sweet pepper sauce on… starch of some sort.
don’t forget the Seaweed wrap
Deep-dish pizza crust?
I was thinking fried rice.
Egg noodles.
I have egg noodles.
I also have leftover takeout rice.
I might even have canned pineapple…
I don’t have any spam.
I don’t have any spam – what is your email?
The last time I had Spam I was a teenager on a canoe trip with my dad.
I don’t mind it but it’s not my first choice. Actually, I’d rather have a high-calorie emergency bar.
And the only way I’ll eat rice is with sugar and milk, and even then only as a last resort. Rice does bad things to my insides.
I admit, it doesn’t taste as good as it used to since they reduced the amount of salt in the formula.
It seems science ignores those of us who run salt-deficient.
Snap, crackle, pop.
Snap crackle pop isn’t worth eating unless it’s with marshmallows and butter,
I got into a Rice Krispies treats jag one winter for something to put into the kids’ lunches when I didn’t feel like making proper cookies. I got those huge bags and marshmallows. One day, a lady behind me in the grocery line said, “Kids’ school lunches?” I don’t usually like people commenting on my groceries, bit that made me laugh. “And I feed them pumpkin pie for breakfast.”
“It seems science ignores those of us who run salt-deficient.”
And actually the nutrition nonsense about “too much salt” is pretty much science-deficient.
See: all of nutrition “science”.
Yes! Hawaiin fried rice! Ham, pineapple, bell pepper. Sauce with soy, Sriracha and sesame oil. Top with spring onions.
No, not soy.
No soy.
No eres lo que?
I don’t understand what you just said, but soy sauce tastes awful.
Hawaiians… any cuisine which historically featured long pork due to a relative lack of other protein sources is something to be avoided. Example; Filipino cuisine.
So, no Aztec revival cuisine either?
No, no. Aztecs only ate human flesh as part of their rituals and religion. And only from certain sacrificed individuals. They had plenty of other options (as well as a set of vegetarian sources that were almost a perfect amino acid mix) but chose to eat humans (well, certain parts of them) for non-nutritional reasons.
I admit there were too many hops for that joke to work (there was no indicator that it was meant to be riffing on the folks who suggested human sacrifices was there to fill a protein deficiency)
Besides, modern hawaiian cuisine rarely ever uses long pork. And you just need to select the right Philipino if you want to avoid the stringy meat and gamey flavor.
That’s the problem with Filipino food. They’ve adapted to enjoy the stringy meat and gamey flavor.
Long pork comes from long pigs.

Can confirm.
Don’t use the questionable all-in-one do-hickey. They make a system of handles with interchangeable heads.
Ooooh, thank you! Linky?
Inteletool makes the original, but they are very expensive. They are a bunch of them out there. Some of them are cheap crap. You might want to read reviews and shop around a bit.

No shit?
What’s the survival rate for that demographic again?
And if I were a dean and saw one of professors engaging in this shit I’d see that as them being incompetent morons and fire them.
Out!
So I skimmed through the jow rogan podcast with the two guys from the innocence project and at some moment one of them says something about trumps america, though all this shit has been going on long before, end for some reason I find it strange people cannot get past partisanship to get a message they care about to as many people. I am not American and random trump mention irked me. Dude stay on message.
Welcome to America
We’ve lost our minds
Especially pathetic considering that Trump has actually done a few positive things for criminal justice reform as opposed to, well, pretty much everyone else.
Well Joe Biden has a long record in politics. I can assume he has fought for criminal justice reform his entire career.
It’s beyond the Bizarro and Twilight Zone now. Same thing in Canada now.
I mean, if you think the pandemic result is ‘100% Trump’s fault’ there’s literally nothing to help you along.
Let’s compromise. The Democrats want three trillion, the Republicans want one trillion; let’s do five trillion and really juice the economy!

Huh, other people tried and it didn’t work at all, even with a link shortener.
They had flat out banned them but they revised it. Supposedly it was due to spam or some such and was resolved but who knows. When it comes to Twitter I just assume the worst motivations possible regardless of the reasons given.

The Big Sky appears to have joined other Division I conferences by canceling contests this fall due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Big Sky Conference Presidents’ Council decided Thursday to call off conference football games, according to multiple reports. The Big Sky had not yet officially announced the news Thursday evening at presstime, so plans for other sports or possible postponements to the spring had not yet been publicized.
The effects of this decision would leave a substantial impact on Montana State and its athletic department.
No kidding.

So… pre-Vatican II, Catholics were not supposed to eat meat on Fridays, fish was acceptable. This lead to a joke about a traveling priest who meets a protestant who wants to convert. The Catholic priest asks the man to kneel down, and puts his hands on the protestant’s head and says, “You are no longer a protestant, you are now a Catholic. You are no longer a protestant, you are now a Catholic.You are no longer a protestant, you are now a Catholic.” The protestant gets up and says, “That’s it?” The priest says, “Yes my son. You are now a Catholic.”
Several months later, the priest is traveling through the area again and decides to stop at the convert’s house. It happened to be a Friday, and the convert was making dinner which happened to be a big pot of beef stew. The priest in a shocked tone says, “My son! You cannot eat that today, it’s Friday, you can’t eat meat, only fish!” So the convert puts his hands over the stew and says, “You are no longer beef, you are now fish. You are no longer beef, you are now fish. You are no longer beef, you are now fish.”
I still remember Fish Fridays from the 70s and 80s. Even for school lunch.
Good little boys and girls only, please; or else
As they struggle to salvage some semblance of a campus experience this fall, U.S. colleges are requiring promises from students to help contain the coronavirus — no keg parties, no long road trips and no outside guests on campus.
No kidding. Administrators warn that failure to wear masks, practice social distancing and avoid mass gatherings could bring serious consequences, including getting booted from school.
Critics question whether it’s realistic to demand that college students not act like typical college students. But the push illustrates the high stakes for universities planning to welcome at least some students back. Wide-scale COVID-19 testing, quarantines and plexiglass barriers in classrooms won’t work if too many students misbehave.
“I think that the majority of students are going to be really respectful and wear their masks, social distance, keep gatherings small,” said incoming Tulane University senior Sanjali De Silva. “But I fear that there will be a distinct group of students that will decide not to do that. And it’ll be a big bummer.”
Tulane students have already received a stark warning from the school in New Orleans, an early pandemic hot spot. After a summer weekend of large gatherings, Dean of Students Erica Woodley wrote to students, stressing her key point in bold, capital letters.
“DO NOT HOST PARTIES OR GATHERINGS WITH MORE THAN 15 PEOPLE, INCLUDING THE HOST. IF YOU DO, YOU WILL FACE SUSPENSION OR EXPULSION FROM THE UNIVERSITY,” Woodley wrote, signing off with, “Do you really want to be the reason that Tulane and New Orleans have to shut down again?”
The emphasis on student behavior is part of a broader effort to create safe bubbles on campus even if the virus surges elsewhere. The University of Texas at Austin is not allowing parties either on or off campus. In Massachusetts, Amherst College is prohibiting students from traveling off campus except in certain cases, such as medical appointments and family emergencies.
We teach OBEDIENCE.
The university of delicate little flowers?
From my experience keg parties with about 15 people were the best parties. I kind of remember one or two but I could be wrong.
Shorter line for refills.
yeah i was just thinking 15 people is a decent number.

“I think that people will really keep each other in check. I know I will,” said Suhail Kumar, an incoming Syracuse sophomore. “If I see my roommates unmasked or not following protocol, I’m definitely going to let them know because I don’t want to jeopardize anything for myself.”

I like today’s Old Guy Music.
Trump moved to continue paying a supplemental federal unemployment benefit for millions of Americans out of work during the outbreak. However, his order called for up to $400 payments each week, one-third less than the $600 people had been receiving. How many people would receive the benefit and how long it might take to arrive were open questions.
So he wants the Lil Rona panic to continue? Federal money, not just unemployment but also the Federal disaster money, is subsidizing this panic.
Ryan Whitaker opened the door holding a gun in his right hand which is legal in Arizona but it made the cops fear for their lives.
However, the cops never gave him a chance to put the gun down which he appeared to be trying to do when one cop shot him in the back three times.
I had a dunphy flashback. Fuck him. Fuck those cops.
The debate around Biden’s propensity for these kinds of slip-ups is a complicated one.
I’m surprised anyone is covering a Democrat candidate’s slip-ups.
Of those nearly 100 murders this year, a quarter come from domestic violence incidents.
They’ll all be marked Lil Rona deaths.
I’m 100% certain the executive orders are all about making his political opponants own attempting to kill the giveaways.
Shot in the back, feared for their lives. .. Okay.
I’m amazed it’s only 25%. Imagine that some of these people are married to Karens.

Speaking of Sweden, here is a doctor’s view from Stockholm of how the Vid played out there. Unsurprisingly, not the view that you get if you pay attention to corporate media.

Last time I went to church was the week before bans on crowds 50+. It was. Ack in March, so we were already sitting in little clusters of families with plenty of space (they opened overflow seating).
It was important because we’ve gone to a few churches out here and are still learning and observing. COVID put an unnecessary halt to that.
So we are trying an outdoor service today. We shall see…
I’m fascinated by the concept of “overflow seating” in a church. Well, not fascinated, but do they really keep some extra seating in reserve for really special occasions or something, like Mount Davis at the Oakland Coliseum?

I don’t even know the death count in New York State – about twice the population of Sweden – but I’m pretty sure it’s a fuck-ton more than 12,000.
*googles*
They’re claiming around 24,000 – includes 4,600 they pulled out of their ass with no testing.
Oops, that’s New York City – with a smaller population than Sweden. Holy fuck.
No; 25K is the number for the whole state. I added up the five boroughs and got a little over 16K:
