Birthday searches are much safer, because you find people like the father of atomic theory; a guy who was not only a true piece of shit, he handed us an enduring legacy of putrid turds (at least normal pieces of shit get flushed away); a guy who empowered the Soongs using some paint; one of the better known gaseous pseudophilosopher-frauds; the Ezra Pound of rock; a woman who was the quintessence of failing upward (and was a good punch-line during the 2016 debates); the inspiration for The Hair; and a grandmaster whom I met and will never forget (in a good way!).
So much for the sugar, now the medicine.

What’s your story with Ben Finegold?
Probably would have been more of a fan of you than Bobby Fischer.
It’s a bit long to write out, but the very brief and less funny version was a visit I had with my chess-geek 12 year old son to the St. Louis chess club, where he met Finegold. He had been watching Finegold’s instructional videos and Finegold had become a hero of his. Ben was delightful, very encouraging and supportive, full of humor, unpretentious, and my kid was over the moon happy.
I had with my chess-geek 12 year old son – could not get him into a real sport like water polo?
He got into chess instead because it was better for attracting the ladies.
and how’s that working out for him? of age, I hope.
I was always a sucker for the smart boys. Especially the smart (((boys))).
a likely story. That is what all chicks say but then they only bang chads // redpill internet
For better or worse, the (((boys))) were not suckers for me. : (
Found a couple of smart goy boys, though…
I bet they were at least 6’2′
My goy boys? Nah – the first one was just about my height, maybe just barely taller. And balding. Our eventual parting had nothing to do with his height nor his hair (nor anyone else’s height or hair.)
(For the record, I’m 5’4″ish. Sorry, Pie – don’t know what that is in metric, but it’s pretty average chick height, AFAIK.)
and a grandmaster whom I met and will never forget (in a good way!).
I actually got to play a grandmaster in a tournament once (not a simul). Of course, it was a GM in correspondence chess and the tournament was an over-the-board rapid chess event, back when I was studying in St. Petersburg in 1992.
Needless to say, I lost nearly every game I played at the chess club. 🙂
When I was a post-doc, I shared an office with a grandmaster. Some years later, when he had become a professor, I visited him. His grad students talked about playing chess with him- they would all team up and spend a week analyzing each move before making it. The prof would walk by, glance at the board, make his move, then walk away. I asked the grad students, “Have you ever beaten him?” They laughed and said, “Once we made him look at the board and think for four seconds.”
I’ve met very few human beings who have ever beat me at chess.
Computer programs, unless dumbed down, beat me ever damn time.
Well, if you stop flipping the board every time you start losing, thatay change.
that may*

Everything is still stupid.
Mornin’
People stilled spooked to fly. Busiest day of the year to fly, and the airport is a ghost town. Gave the TSA plenty of time to thoroughly grope Mrs. Prolefeed and spend a full minute suspiciously squeezing my snack bag full of peanuts and whatnot – The Salty Nuts o’ Doom.
Or at least that’s what Mrs. P calls ’em. ?
Better than spending a full minute suspiciously squeezing your other nuts of doom.
The ONLY positive of this whole mess is empty airports and spotless planes.
Traveling during the ‘vid is awesome.
I agree with that. Flown several times and nothing but ease and room to spread out
Can confirm.
The Democrat’s embrace of McCain is mind boggling, the dude never met a problem he didn’t think we couldn’t bomb our way out of. He was a gracious loser though, they do seem to value Republicans like that.
Embracing McCain as an untouchable war hero for this brief moment advances The Narrative. The same people will piss on his grave if it switches and we suddenly have always been at war with EastAsia.
Which McCain bombed.
The lefty TV channel at my mother-in-law was breathlessly doing nonstop coverage of the anonymous alleged slur by Trump of The Heroes TM.
Tom Woods suggested (I forget details) that McCain wasn’t a war hero but actually a Tokyo Rose*.
*unfair to TR, probably: sounds as if she got a bad rap
DNC has also happily taken the mantle of the warmonger party of late, and welcomed a bunch of endorsements from Never Trump Republicans.
Um, dipshits… That’s why Trump got elected in the first fucking place.
Shhhhhh!
They have a winning strategy and the polls are in their favor. What could possibly go wrong?
?
Notice that Muslin terrorism seems to be down since McCain is no longer traveling the globe encouraging them?
I hated muslin terrorism. I always preferred percale terrorism.
Sheets??? White supremacists!!!
They’ve always liked McCain, because the guy spent most of his career attacking other Republicans. The only time they didn’t like him was during that unfortunate incident in 2008 where he became a senile racist Nazi literally Hitler warmonger for a few months. Once he conceded and ushered in a new era of hope(tm) and change(tm), he went back to being ‘one of the good ones’.
I think we might break the record today, as well.
I am rooting for you. you can do it.

I enjoyed my first morning outside today since June. It was both quiet and cool. Plus not too humid.

I feel more sympathy for the fly I squished this morning than for that asshole.
Yeah I got a good chuckle out of that too.
Proves how rotten the FBI is if he was a long career considered a success.
Lol, right?
They really have a hard time finding sympathetic people. If the most relatable person you can find that trump has abused is a life long fbi agent scumbag hack guilty of several felonies, I may just have to vote trump.
Peter Strozk deserves everything happening to him right now. Karma’s a bitch, asshole.

No Don Garlits I take it.
Of course you are. The perpetual government worker class is very oppressed by the mean working class people in the country.
The Dems trotting out every person that they can to get you to focus on Trump allegedly saying something mean, rather than the perpetual riots by black lives matter.
Has anyone come out on the record? Even Bolton the Uberdouche, who was there, says it’s bullshit.
John Kelly was supposedly a target, or at least within earshot, and he has absolutely nothing to lose by confirming it. He hasn’t so far.
Yeah, but the American people are totally unaware that Trump is a guy who often runs his mouth and says negative things about people who attack him. If they ever figured that out, he’d be toast. It’s definitely not the ENTIRE REASON HE GOT VOTED IN
I think in this case, if someone stood up and said – yes, he said exactly that, there would be an impact. All anonymous – not so much; that just appeals to the people who believe Trump has a demon-tail stuffed down the back of one pant-leg.
“Being subjected to outrageous attacks up to and including by the president himself, which are full of lies and mischaracterizations and just crude and cruel, is horrible,” Strzok told The Associated Press in an interview. “There’s no way around it.”
A new book by Strzok traces his arc from veteran counterintelligence agent to the man who came to embody Trump’s public scorn of FBI and his characterization of its Russia investigation as a “witch hunt.” The texts cost Strzok his job and drew vitriol from Trump. But even among Trump critics, Strzok isn’t a hero. His anti-Trump texts on a government phone to an FBI lawyer gave Trump and his supporters a major opening to undercut the bureau’s credibility right as it was conducting one of the most consequential investigations in its history.
Speaking of credibility….
I agree it should have one of the most consequential investigations, but I don’t think the FBI will face any consequences.
Maybe my memory is just being selective but I can’t remember the FBI ever facing consequences for anything they ever did wrong. They could do a lethal headshot on a mother holding an infant and nobody in the FBI would suffer the slightest inconvenience for it.
The Church Commission had the chance to dismantle it and they should have. Progressive govt at it’s finest. TR wanted it and Congress wouldn’t appropriate the funds – so the AG just misdirected the funds to create the Bureau of Investigation (the forerunner of the FBI). With that history I guess we shouldn’t be surprised how corrupt it can be.
They could do a lethal headshot on a mother holding an infant and nobody in the FBI would suffer the slightest inconvenience for it.
Hypothetically, of course.
So is there anything vaguely resembling evidence that trump said mean things of the dead people? Or it is all based one one claim of an anonymous source? Because if the latter it is new depth of stupid.
It’s all bullshit.
It’s just based off of one anonymous source. The entire article is premised on a lie that Trump didn’t visit the cemetery because he didn’t want to, when flight records show that it was too dangerous to fly.
This is a transparently coordinated attack, meant to shift away from the riots.
It is transparent and is only convincing the already convinced.
Take it from Kobe, helicopter flights in bad weather are not the best idea.
Look, just because there was an TV ad ready to go 12 hours after the claim was reported, and the first question to Biden the next day was from a reporter from the same outlet asking what Biden thought about the allegations, and Biden actually had a mostly coherent answer prepared, and the story apparently coincides with the beginning of some military mail-in voting, and the outlet reporting this is owned by a billionaire Biden donor, doesn’t mean it’s all coordinated. That’s just like conspiracy talk, man.
There’s a stack of witnesses (including his enemies) who say it never happened, and one anonymous source who claims it did.
Well, I know who to believe. /brain dead biden voters
Hey now, this has been thoroughly fact-checked and multiple independent investigations have confirmed that an anonymous source claims Trump said mean things.
Plus, Trump says bad stuff all the time and lies all the time and why are you defending him anyways?
Re:Buttigieg, I love it when an opponent gives advice. Hey, remember when we could beat you? Yeah, you should be more like that!
Heh.
If you could go back to being incompetent, that would be great.
You know how many Republicans are completely ready to oblige them don’t you?
The GOP that loses elections to sleazy charlatans like Pete Buttigieg?
Seeing as he couldn’t beat a communist or a senile old coot… Pete needs less competitive opponents
Or more sleaze.
“If you’re Republican and you’ve always voted Republican and it’s hard for you to join the many Republicans who are walking away from this president, think about this—years later we’re going to look back on this moment and see that you could either be a John McCain Republican or a Donald Trump Republican. But you’ve got to choose. Think about what you’d rather be.”
Or you could join the prissy douchebag party.
Did the DNC get some kind of study that said “shaming voters totally works, step it up”!
Really what it feels kind of like is that the DNC was taken over by the Trotskyist neo-cons and that they are still throwing a fit over losing the GOP to Trump.
Makes the “Trump hates veterans” attack make more sense.

“I deeply regret casually commenting about the things I observed in the headlines and behind the scenes, and I regret how effectively my words were weaponized to harm the Bureau and buttress absurd conspiracy theories about our vital work,” Strzok writes.

Your next leaders, America. Well, probably not from this school but you get the idea.
Wife is st urgent care. We think she has strep. But, of course, they are testing for covid first.
Hope it’s nothing serious and she feels better ASAP. Please keep us posted as you’re able.
what are the symptoms? Strep should be easy with antibiotics. Anyway best of luck with the recovery
I thought you’re supposed to have FEVER as a main symptom in order to get the test?
No, that just gets you more cowbell.
That is what I thought too. Plus quick strep test comes back in something like 20 minutes. Do it first.
Her temp was 98.7 before she left house.
Not strep. They think upper respiratory infection. They didnt do covid test.
They did entire process with her in car.
I hope she is feeling better soon.
The first thing they should do is look in her mouth.
Hopefully they don’t keep testing until she gets it. I am now convinced that is what the VA did to my dad.
A Q for Trump supporters: I get why you’re frustrated by riots, parts of the pandemic response, & illiberal left excesses. (I am too.)
Since all are happening during a Trump presidency, why would anyone expect giving him a 2nd term would make things better?
https://twitter.com/conor64/status/1302377187043979264
I find this poorly phrased. If you are worried illiberal left excess will go on under a second Trump term, you certainly don’t expect it to go away if you give them power.
also pandemic has nothing to do with whatever presidency so it is stupid to include.
Shorter version: “What will it take for our extortion methods to work?”
It is dumb. Hey we’re rioting now, so why do you want to give power to the guy who we’re rioting against? You should give it to us.
At least the comments are good.
They are terrible.
I saw quite a few who didn’t buy it. Only rummaged through a few.
The riots, covid tyranny, and constant drumbeat of blatant lies is all just an extortion attempt. Why would we give in to extortionists? Why would we choose them to preside over us? They will continue the exact same terror tactics only on a grander scale, since it worked last time.

Even then my ability to make a reasonable living hinges on a mix of skills/knowledge of which an ability in Asian languages and being effective in Asian business practices are key. Not sure how that would play from Albuquerque/Tucson/etc.

“From the beginning [of the pandemic], I had received so much resistance from the county hierarchy that I felt in a lot of ways I wasn’t supported,” she told Montana Free Press.
First, she said, it was local law enforcement asking for addresses of all positive cases so they could take special precautions during interactions. Van Duynhoven balked at that idea, knowing that when a highly transmissible disease is present in a community, it’s best to treat everyone as if they have the disease, rather than just selective populations. She eventually decided to give law enforcement a daily list of active cases and take back the previous list each day so recovered patients wouldn’t continue to be seen in the county’s small communities as having “cooties.”
——-
Public health officials know the disease is spread by close contact between an infected person and others, which is why masks are required. Large gatherings have the potential to spark larger outbreaks, which is why there are limits on gathering size. Once an outbreak takes hold in a community, it’s difficult to prevent the disease from spreading through schools, nursing homes, and other locations where people are gathered in close quarters.
But public health responses to the pandemic, from mask requirements to limits on large gatherings, are becoming increasingly politicized, public health officials told Montana Free Press.
The politicization of the pandemic has created strife for health officials across Montana. In addition to Van Duynhoven’s dismissal, public health officials in Powell, Carter and Ravalli counties have resigned after receiving political pushback. In Big Horn County, the health officer’s mask requirement was challenged by the county attorney, Jay Harris. In Cascade County, a judge criticized county officials for a “cavalier” attitude toward the virus that led to a large outbreak at the jail in Great Falls.
——-
Drenda Niemann, Lewis and Clark County Health Officer and chair of AMPHO, said Bullock’s delegation of decision-making creates a challenge for county health officials. Niemann said local control can be beneficial, but a lack of cohesive direction from the state and federal governments makes it difficult to know whether recommendations are based on public health best practices or political calculation.
“It makes it hard on a local public health department,” Niemann said. “Public opinion is not how we make decisions. We make decisions based on good public health processes and science.”
This job would be a lot more fun if we had SWAT teams. Then those hicks would respect us and do what we tell them.
And-
it’s best to treat everyone as if they have the disease, rather than just selective populations.
Seriously? Let’s treat all “public health officials” as if they are criminally insane, and forcibly institutionalize them. You can’t be too careful.
What the fuck happened to HIPAA? You’re gonna report my condition to the fucking cops? Really?
HIPAA has sizable loopholes that allow Big Bro to look at your records. Including a blanket “required by law” exception.
Public health officials have pissed me off more than anyone. They’ve helped to create this politicization. Look at Fauci. And the masks was the vessel to that.
“Public opinion is not how we make decisions. We make decisions based on good public health processes and science.”
Does that include the idiot social justice doctors? The ones who thought shutting air travel from China was racist and ‘social justice before social distance’?
Masks are PSEUDO-SCIENCE.
Health officials aren’t following the science. They’re simply pushing a hard precautionary principle. If they followed the science, they’d pivot and pull back a little. Instead, you still hear them push two measures that NEVER were rooted in science: Lockdowns and masks.
I have little trust in them.
‘Public health’ is incompatible with freedom.

I’m pleasantly surprised. Duluth Trading kept saying my order (just a few sale/clearance items) with free shipping would be delivered today via UPS SmartPost, wherein Brown Santa hands it off to uniformed agents of the US government. I thought, “Yeah, right. I’ll get it Tuesday. No big.” Yet I’ve received the text from the USPS itself that my package is indeed out for delivery today. I
standlounge corrected.The Post Office is just trying to get my sympathy so I’ll vote against Orange Man Bad, aren’t they?

A couple of print lightweight V-neck short-sleeved tees, a print long-sleeved (also lightweight, IIRC) V-neck tee, and a pair of black skinny-leg jeans. I’ve bought a bunch of their stuff in the past. Not cheap unless you catch a good sale/discount, but good quality. Especially like their flannel shirts.
Those four items came to $51.56 before tax. Caught the deal for free shipping on a $50 order. I think it’s usually $75.
Their unmentionables for mens are nice. Good quality but a bit on the pricey side. You do pay for a good product.
Most likely they do it for that sweet, sweet overtime.
I was surprised that on the day they were laying down slurry on the street, post office didnt deliver but next day we recieved our mail first thing in the AM. Shocked I was.

David Graeber’s Judaism of the 99%.
https://twitter.com/jacobinmag/status/1302432581921644544
As the first world is awash with surplus capital that the bourgeoisie does not want to spend on welfare and development, a “bullshit job” — one that serves literally no purpose — buys off a certain section of the salaried masses: a kind of right-wing, white-collar Keynesianism. This is an argument I think socialists would do well to engage with, with far-reaching consequences for both organizing and educating.
But it’s not Graeber’s long, formal works of anthropology that impacted me most. Rather, it was a short piece he wrote on antisemitism at the height of the Labour Party’s campaign to smear its own leader Jeremy Corbyn as an antisemite.
Rather than simply refute the absurd claims, as most supporters of Corbyn had up to this point, Graeber pointed out that such false claims are themselves a form of antisemitism. Not only do such claims make “my safety a political chess piece” by “crying wolf when there are real wolves at the door,” blinding us to antisemitism during an upsurge of far-right violence. They also activate long-standing antisemitic ideas that Jews are shadowy elites, an enemy of democracy.
Radical sociologist Oliver Cromwell Cox argued that racial antagonism was an essential tool for maintaining capitalist power.

I blame the people previously mentioned
It’s the capitalists fault the socialists hate the Jews?
I thought the Jews were the socialists? I need a scorecard.
Compare and contrast Reinoehl and Rittenhouse.
As I recall, in his interview before his death Reinoehl claimed he had no choice but shoot to stop a vehicular homicide. Funny since his victim was walking and not even riding in let alone driving a vehicle.
The man was insane, or lying to himself to justify his monstrosity.
And there are pictures of Reinoehl setting up the ambush.
He was photographed all night walking around with his hand on his gun. He couldn’t wait to shoot a “nazi”
I highly advise that everyone watch the podcast interview of the livestreamer. Justin Dunlap. He says that the cars were all riot supporters and they stopped right in front the shooting. Almost everyone on that block was aware that the attack was coming, and contributed to it happening.
Took my 3 year old fishing yesterday for the first time. She only got a practice hook yesterday so that she could practice casting. We caught a bluegill and she was so excited that she forgot that she’s terrified of fish.
I was gonna take her back out this morning and actually give her a real baited hook, but as of right now she has overslept her “alarm” (a “ready to wake” clock that turns green at 7:45) by an hour. 3 going on 15, I guess.
Awesome! Snoopy pole?
Frozen… everything has to be Frozen with this one.
I wonder if my dad still has my snoopy pole….
Hah! I should have guessed!
I have a wonderful picture of my son – now 20 – with a Northern he caught on a Snoopy pole!
It’s a great thing to get the kids into. A few weeks ago I went trout fishing with him in the mountains. Watching your kids get better than you is awesome.
Excellent!
Teach a kid to fish/hunt and they will be your friend and partner forever. Later teach them how beer drinking works in the same game, after the wild life is cleaned up.
I thought OMWC was the one who gave out pedo advice…
I finally found the perfect mask.
It got rave reviews last night when we went out for dinner.
“Why I doubt this number:
“Protests” included gatherings with as few as 3 people
Researchers used media stories & select twitter accounts (?) to determine if violence occured
If researchers thought not ALL of a protest was violent, they counted 2 protests: 1 peaceful, 1 violent”
https://twitter.com/TheLaurenChen/status/1302573616471707648
And they still couldn’t get the number higher than 93%
This site is acting weird.
I blame Lauren Chen
LACIST!!!
Bold strategy
Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris strongly rebuked President Donald Trump and Attorney General William Barr for denying there’s systemic racism in the US justice system, saying they are “spending full time in a different reality.”
“We do have two systems of justice” for Black and White Americans, Harris said.
——-
“I don’t think that most reasonable people who are paying attention to the facts would dispute that there are racial disparities and a system that has engaged in racism in terms of how the laws have been enforced,” said Harris, a California senator and former state attorney general. “It does us no good to deny that. Let’s just deal with it. Let’s be honest. These might be difficult conversations for some, but they’re not difficult conversations for leaders, not for real leaders.”
If anybody knows, she does.
Speaking as an enforcer of that systemic racism…
We should listen to her. Just as Hitler and Pol Pot would know a thing or two about genocide Kamala would know the most about how the law in the US is applied unequally.
Great. Chuck Todd and the gang are on the voter suppression beat.

“The man who started the problems today is Dominique Alexander, activist for “Next Generation Action Network”. His fellow “NGAN” activist Michelle Bullard said a #WalkAway person pushed a child. Obviously, a LIE.

The Back the Blue people fail to understand that the cops are agents of the state and do the bidding of the politicians.
You are reminding me of the problem of police violence, which for this whole summer, has completely disappeared as a major concern, you know since someone way worse showed up on the scene.
The thing to remember about cops: eventually somebody worse than the cops always shows up.
People who believe in media effects theory are so touching. Presumably they also believe watching porn produces sex offenders (it doesn’t) and playing video games produces school shooters (they don’t).

They just played Trump’s “everybody vote twice!” quote.
Basically, he said, “If the system actually works as they say it does, a second vote won’t be counted.”
But the idiots are huffing and puffing.
“What’s your nightmare scenario?”
“Trump wins.”
He got into chess instead because it was better for attracting the ladies.
Hmm, that was not the case for young patzer. I was born too early, it seems.

I’m not sure what you’re saying.
Wasn’t there a time when anonymous sources used eventually turned into named sources once the story was out and confirmed?
I guess it shows my “Get off my lawn” cred that I keep waiting for this source to get named.

Happy wife, happy life. She just purchased a new truck for her business. Electric Blue 2017 Toyota Tacoma. Man is she happy and proud.
Good for her! Is hers the mobile dog washing/grooming biz, or am I thinking of someone else?
The color sounds gorgeous.
Yeah the mobile grooming. We need this heat to break though because she is only able to groom up to about 1pm. Other than that she keeps a months worth of booked clients on a consistent basis.
That’s fantastic. I really love hearing good news from fellow Glibs; it helps me keep the national monkeyshines in perspective.
She is turning away clients, which is a good thing because she is desired widely to do the job.
Her favorite story right now is the 95 year old that survived the lil’rona. She said “I had a cough, couldn’t taste anything for a couple of weeks, but thats it”.
Excellent choice. Those are nice trucks.
That is FANTASTIC!
I do not know her. I am super proud of her.
Sweet!
I hate that fucking Blue Tacoma song.
You missed spelled ” the whole modern country music scene”
Oh, no, rejected ballots!
We should just count them all. Especially the ones from urban Democratic strongholds. We should probably count those twice, just to be sure democracy prevails.

Oh, no. President Cartoon Villain will claim victory on election night, if the vote goes in his favor. Misinformation!
Also Trump killed tens of millions of black folks by personally injecting them with the plague.
Yeah its quite the tell when you say if we just wait a few weeks until the mail in ballots come in we will win. Its as if you know their is an ace up your sleeve.
Today’s paper announced the county had received 3 times as many requests for mail ballots from registered Dems as from GOPers.
Registration totals are just about 50/50. Looks like many Dems have made up their minds already and are too scared to vote in person.
It will be interesting to see the final election day totals on mail in ballots; I’m betting the “official results” will show 5 or 6 to one in Biden’s favor.
From Trump’s perspective he needs to win by millions or else it’s gonna be non-stop shit-show until January.
Ha! It’ll be a nonstop shitshow for the next 4 years no matter what.
Oh, of course. Just referring specifically to the vote-counting aspect of it.
There’s no way around having a national shitshow around this election. Stacy Abrams laid a pretty good foundation, Covid gave us the “need” for bogus mail in ballots and the dems already built the prototype in California during 2018. The mark is in place and the scam will go on, just like in the movie, the Sting. They also have the groundwork lain for the whole ” he won’t go quietly if he loses”
admissionaccusations.Vote early.
Vote often.
What this country needs is some massive election riots.
Driving back this morning from a stroll in Downtown Chandler, I had NPR on. They were running a breathless Gun Owners In The Mist piece about the increase in blacks buying firearms. Complete with an interview of a clearly mentally ill woman who wants to defend her “community of color” from the white supremacists descending on it, but hey, I’m delighted that she’s exercising her 2A rights.
The very best part was their dire warning before the piece: “A warning to our listeners, the following segment includes the sound of gunshots.”
Well, that IS triggering.
Clap…clap,clap, applause!
I love the memes and posts that feature black firearms enthusiasts but are meant as some sort of GOTCHA! against 2nd Amndt. supporters. Why would I give a shit about the melanin content of new entrants into a beloved (and possibly life-saving) hobby?
Because owning a gun makes you racist, duh.
Because in their heads it’s still 1955 Alabama.
Which is kinda funny as my favorite 2A activist was advocating, and practicing, armed self and community defense in 1955
AlabamaMississippi. https://www.amazon.com/Negroes-Guns-Robert-F-Williams/dp/1773230522Heard it too. If NPR was any sort of credible news source the would follow up with Maj Toure. Especially loved the story about violent protests of white supremacists across the country………………
I’d love to introduce these NPR shipdits (trying to come up with a proper descriptor) to Colion Noir.
I would love to see the blank stare/drool response from these people I would see if/when I explain how many Marines like me had a PMI (Primary Marksmanship Instructor) in boot camp who was a “dark green” Marine.
I watched the first film yesterday and it was so great, I’m gonna go for the whole trilogy today. When life sucks, go watch Walter Matthau as Coach Morris Buttermaker; <a href="https://youtu.be/sF6De-XP7x4" title="The Bad News Bears ” target=”_blank” >The Bad News Bears will take away the pain.

There some whores in this house.
Poverty is quite literally a concept that only exists under capitalist societies. Poverty did not exist in hunter/gatherer days, because money didn’t exist. Human trade and cooperation don’t have to come at the cost of capitalism. Illnesses can be cured, but shouldn’t cost money.
https://twitter.com/bwofwof/status/1302611043156291584
yes when everyone was dirt poor poverty had no meaning. very insightful.
Just 5 chickens and your eldest daughter, right? I mean if we’re going back to the barter days.
I’d rather have the mid daughter
If we’re time machining back to the days of barter I’ll take whichever one doesn’t have rickets or lice.
“Princeton University group studies 3 months of Black Lives Matter protests. Intent is to show they are ‘overwhelmingly peaceful.’ But report reveals nearly 570 violent demonstrations–riots–in nearly 220 locations spread all across country.”

“BOISE, Idaho (AP) — U.S. officials have for the first time approved a design for a small commercial nuclear reactor, and a Utah energy cooperative wants to build 12 of them in Idaho.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission on Friday approved Portland-based NuScale Power’s application for the small modular reactor that Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems plans to build at a U.S. Department of Energy site in eastern Idaho.
The small reactors can produce about 60 megawatts of energy, or enough to power more than 50,000 homes. The proposed project includes 12 small modular reactors. The first would be built in 2029, with the rest in 2030.”
https://apnews.com/910766c07afd96fbe2bd875e16087464
Uh… It’s only 2020 right now.
Regular nuke plants take, what, a generation to build? This is considered “progress”.
That’s 10 years away, by then we’ll have Fusion! (forever 10 years away)
The small reactors can produce about 60 megawatts of energy, – i though the approval was for the 50 MW model
Hello ya’ll
OMWC I liked the links this morning. A great mix of scientists bdays and the world line we live in.
I’m planning in celebrating my pre labor day festivities with a series of sacrificial rituals.
These include an hour of hard labor.
I’ll be pushing a symbol of the machines of progress. This will be done in a regimental grid across a field which will be brought low by the machine in a smoky noisy display.
I will then blow and collect those cut down by the machine via the winds of change.
After replenishing my essence then it’s time to cleanse myself prior to the final acts of the day.
I will sacrifice several fowls upon my burning hearth while consuming the water of life and listening to the ceremonial songs of my people.

Poverty did not exist in hunter/gatherer days, because money didn’t exist.
Wheeee!
And avg life expectancy was 35.
Also, never brush your teeth or wear prescription glasses. And and and….
People are willfully stupid.
I had that argument with my brother. He’s a paleo diet advocate. Says that they had no cancer or heart disease back then, due to diet and excersize. I reminded him that they only lived a few short decades and that might be why.
While there is simply no data to decide, there is some evidence of lack of chronic disease in current older hunter gatherers.
That is not to say it is necessarily good, but it lets you avoid moderns ultra-processed crap which is always good. just don’t take it to far.
Also a lot of the average life expectancy is children mortality so if you made it to 20 you probably lived longer than 35
An interesting article on lifespan in Rome. If you made it out of childhood it wasn’t unusual to make it to seventy or more:

Otzi the Iceman! My father did the Y DNA test (passed father-to-son with changes occurring only due to mutation) and found that his Y dna came from the exact subclade as Otzi the Iceman.
There is a good documentary on otzi, including autopsy, on Nova, most of which are on Amazon Prime.

100% serious coca cola with cocaine tastes great. Way better than putting it in any drink I ever tried. Everything else tastes like cocaine and whatever its in. Coca cola masks it almost entirely and it tastes like a totally different beverage.
https://twitter.com/iiiWilde/status/1302405909730283521
It wasn’t actually cocaine. They brewed coca leaves.
I believe they still use an extract, and are the only company allowed to legally import the leaves.
That’s just wasteful.
Mostly peaceful BLM protest in a lily-white NYC suburban community (because blocking the main street is peaceful as long as there is no looting or property damage).

She’s still around?
Yep, everyone who doesn’t want to separate people by skin color are the real Nazis.
Her political spectrum needs to be redefined if that is what she thinks far right and far left mean.
If she insists on staying 1 dimensional, then the endpoints should be Totalitarianism and Freedom.
Of course she’d match up “icky” words like Totalitarian to “right” and “nice” words like Freedom to “left.”
And then she’d adjust her state-mandated face mask.
The tweet that prompted that is an exercise in false equivalence precisely because of people like that little noddy. The centre right might suggest that the far right aren’t very prevalent; they don’t claim that they are actually good people.
A leftie would instantly respond with Trump’s alleged “good people on both sides” comment. But even if that weren’t a selective quote, it would still be a single example from a few years ago.
There is no modern equivalent to WaPo columnists comparing antifa to the troops at D-Day.
High taxes vs. concentration camps and war? Leftist idol FDR gave us all three!

It is an AMAZINGLY LOVELY 72° here at the beach. I just finished my coffee out on the porch, took a microdose of mushrooms, and now I’m off to the brewery for some beer and tacos (1 beef brisket, 1 pulled pork, 1 grilled chicken, and 1 shrimp should do it). Y’all have an absolutely fabulous day.
You do likewise!
Leave me out of this.
My hard labor plans were to get the garage sale set up this weekend, then hold it next weekend.
But the furnace-like conditions (I’m in the foothills, away from the beach) combined with the smell of a wildfire are limiting the duration of each burst of activity.
Got 4 antique radios, 2 old but functional audio systems, one very nice Pioneer a/v receiver that I’m only getting rid of because I replaced it with a model that has WiFi. Those items plus a Specialized bike I will list in the ad. The rest is typical garage sale stuff, although to my eclectic taste, so at least it’s interesting.
If you have a spare Weather Dominator or a working HAARP array, I’ll take them off your hands.
Sorry, HAARP was with my previous employer.
And it’s way more mundane than people think. It’s fun to let them imagine X-files level shit though.
