Wolf Blitzer…well known GOP operative.
And white supremacist. Of course.
I’ve never heard Wolf Blitzer officially condemn white supremacy.
And woman hating misogynist
She was floored by even the slightest pushback. This is what TMITE has become. “How Dare You?” Wolf fucking Blitzer. Maybe there is a ray of hope. She freaked out over Megyn Kelly’s line of questioning the day before.
That’s the thing that’s just baffling. That she got mad at someone for telling her there is a limit to how much lying the dnc operative with bylines class can keep doing for her team in an age where their credibility is already destroyed. She should have told him that he was already so deep into her ass that him suddenly developing a conscience is comical. Not accused him of being a team red shill. That just made her look ungrateful for all the water carrying.
Wolf’s takeaway on this scolding will be to suck donkey dick even harder, is my guess.
As mentioned above, some (very few) hard questions are starting to be asked. Do they sense which way the wind is blowing?
“Wouldn’t you say she looks tired?” (one can only hope…)

Because you can’t prevent infections and deaths, you can only delay them.
Until the magical vaccines and treatments show up.. just round the corner
They’ll be created by Cold Fusion and delivered by Flying Cars.
Science will save us!
And what better way to delay death than to be locked in your house for months right before it happens.
It really does seem fantastical to see people acting normally, no masks (which don’t work anyhow), and no arbitrary rules.
As mentioned in the dead thread, I wear my mask over my butthole to protect others, not myself. I’m doing God’s work here.
You cant trust the data from Sweden it is all propaganda they are dying by the thousands
Half of Minnesoda returns “home”
Can’t tell if serious…
this is what my buddy says. You can’t trust Sweden anymore than China when it comes to reporting data
Until we accept the only way to control this is herd immunity and to constantly have the at risk people watch themselves, we will have periodic flare ups as people get tired of playing Punxsutawney Phil and remain in hiding, and come out to see their shadows.
The only people that I see wearing the ribbon are little asshole Sqtr Boi types. Whoever thought that rebelling against the squares would become a popular mode of expression amongst the youthful cohort? These kids are young teens and tweens. Bring back Kiss Army!
Baseball birthdays today were mostly blah, except a little down the list was the unknown Joe Start.
He was a star of the National Association, the first major league, from its inception in 1871. He moved to the new National League (as did his team) in 1876. His numbers, either raw or in terms of WAR, dont add up to much, mostly because the NA was playing 30-50 game seasons. Even the NL was only playing 90 or so in the early days. The most games he played in a season was 101 in 1885, his team played 110. He retired after the 1886 season.
If you prorated him up to 154 or 162 games, he would have been about a 5 WAR per year kind of guy. A HoF discussion player, not a no-brainer by any means, but someone who should have consideration.
I know a bit too much about 19th century baseball, and he is a guy who has always stuck in my mind as one of the early greats.
Without looking I’m going to assume Joe Morgan’s dying was covered here. RIP, JM. Jon & Joe made a good team, and introduced me to baseball as a sport I enjoy(ed) watching and following.
I hadn’t seen it. I referenced it obliquely telling Death 2020 he had to stop.
I grew up a fan of the Big Red Machine. Morgan was obviously a huge part of that. And that is a understatement, as he was NL MVP in 1975 and 1976.

“We FEED them!”
Cookout at Nancy’s this weekend?
Sure. What does she feed them to?
“To Serve Humans” is a cookbook!
You didn’t dust off the cover properly. It reads “To Service Humans” and then the tentacles extrude…
Homophobe-in-Chief
Trump said he has become immune to COVID-19 and, for the second consecutive night, offered to kiss people in the audience to prove it.
“I’ll kiss every guy, man and woman, man and woman,” the president said Tuesday, pointing to an individual in the crowd. “Look at that guy, how handsome he is. I’ll kiss him. Not with a lot of enjoyment, but that’s okay.”
Maybe just sniff his hair, instead.
I wonder how many of the people whining about Trump’s inequitable level of health care would be tut-tutting about the ethics of using President Hillary as a lab rat for unproven unapproved treatments, under the identical circumstances.
“I’m gonna kiss the guys and the girls, but only the girls get the tongue”
*licks lips gratuitously *
I laughed (and I’m older than Trump)
using
PresidentHillary as a lab rat for unproven unapproved treatmentsI suspect that is the only reason she has yet to keel over.

Good morning. Wednesday morning.

So, normal for her, then.

Perhaps the most equitable thing to do then, in terms of universal healthcare provision, is to make everyone President.
Margaret Thatcher had a thing or two to say about “equal outcomes”, just sayin’.
Had another long talk with my covid lock-down buddy from the lands of the nether who is now convinced we can go on forever with one month out of every three in lock-down.
Dutch courage.
With quinine water.
Let me guess, he’s been working from home this entire time, and hasn’t missed a paycheck.
^^
Yes. But small businesses will just reopen whenever this is over. Or someone else will. After all the world is the most developed ever. A few years lockdown is not the end of the world (this is true ignoring unnecessary suffering). The alternative is 100 million dead. Or more. Soon the Netherlands will have 50000 cases a day…
I mean I do agree things always came back eventually… But that does not mean destroying shit for no reason.
/looks downthread at a 97 year old family owned restaurant that’s permanently closing due to the lockdown.
Things will come back. People will build new businesses, but there is going to be a large amount of small and family owned businesses that are going under and won’t be coming back. The same people clamoring for these lockdowns (at least here in the US) are also (usually) the same people who rail against chain restaurants and big box stores.
there is going to be a large amount of small and family owned businesses that are going under and won’t be coming back. – yes but others will take their place so it does not matter
Except it does.
By that logic, shouldn’t we just accept the logical conclusion that some people will die from the Kung Flu, but things will just go on?…
Well saving people from the cov is noble. Lives not property and all that
Sure. When classical civilization crashed into the Dark Age, it all came right back after 500 years or so.
The new fascist & communist “socialism will save us all” campaign has realized that the corrective measures movement that used work/death camps gave them a bad name after some 200 million bodies were racked up and close to 3 billion people were forced to live in absolute misery. Now they just destroy people’s ability to earn a living, which both silences them and allows the punishment to go for a lot longer. These people can thusly hide behind being caring fucks when they cry about even one live lost being too much, while ignoring the millions whose lives and livelihoods are ruined. After all, those are the people that don’t usually like big government picking winners and losers, so it is a good thing for their plans for the rest of us…
Some eggs must be broken to make an omelet….

A few years lockdown would, literally, be the end of the world. You think the riots are bad now?
I think this is more likely. Nature abhors a vacuum.
Tucker and Jason Whitlock did a great job of breaking down why nobody is watching the NBA. Mark Cuban is a groveling, greedy, moral coward.
Most everybody is a raging asshole, the rules are ignored in the hopes of encouraging hero ball, their attempts to emulate street ball were unprofessional and cheesy, and defense is optional?
No – that’s why I stopped watching in the early 90’s. I haven’t watched an entire game since Bird retired.
Basketball is the ultimate communist sport. Two guys out of 12 are responsible for 90% of the productivity.
Sure, on the shitty teams playing now.
Defense has never been better! But yes, you can have a gather step or 5… Also in the era of covid breathing on your opponent should be a foul
Oh yeah – you probably never got to watch while the commies were in charge. This what playoff basketball used to look like.

it is lacking dribbling the ball for 20 seconds so this means they did not have good handles like today.

Certainly no “What if they’re right?”

Iconic Cleveland Eatery Sokolowski’s Calls It Quits
Sokolowski’s University Inn is permanently closing now. They’ve been in business since 1923, and in the before times would have people lining up for weekend dinners for about an hour before the doors opened. For those who like pierogi, you may want to copy down their recipe from here before it goes away.
This is the weirdest depression… I guess because government is swinging its dick around so flagrantly, many companies are delaying and skipping what needs to be done to ensure continued operations until its too late. I just saw 2 major layoff announcements in the tech space over the last week or so. Layoffs that should’ve happened in April.
Small companies are shuttering, but big companies are being incentivized to push the negative consequences to late fall.
All we’ve managed to do is burn a few trillion in money supply with no associated increase in wealth/productivity.
The effects of this are going to be severe and drawn out. The idiots in Washington have no damned idea what they’re doing nor do they really care.
One of the companies I work with did a big buyout/layoff in the past couple of weeks.
The lefty independent rag here in Cleveland did a decent write-up about what’s going to be happening to restaurants over the next couple of months. The federal loans let quite a few places keep the doors open… until the money ran out. So instead of saving the businesses, all the loans did was push the closures out a couple of months.
That’s a shame. I used to live in the house right next door to Sokolowsi’s.
On the plus side, it sounds like they’ll be able to get a decent amount for the property, especially as the Towpath Trail extension has been built right alongside it.
This may shock people – Joe Biden told a fib. Joe Biden Did Meet with Son Hunter’s Ukraine Partners while he was VP and ferrying $billion checks to the Ukraine.

In this morning’s Bloomberg plague update, the Bloomberg chick surprisingly asked if the virus is mutating and becoming less dangerous. The “Johns Hopkins assistant professor of cosmetology” or whatever she was, started dancing around like that cat on the tin roof.
She finally settled on, “Well, we HAVE gotten a little better at treating patients.” You could have waterboarded her without getting a straight answer to that question.
The Hopkins school of public health is hopelessly political. Thanks in no small part to its namesake, Bloomberg, and its proximity to DC.
Although their director is against lockdowns.
I hadn’t seen that. I’m somewhat surprised.
As time goes on I meet more people who got the virus in March. Of the 8 I met, only 1 was “treated”, the other 7 were just told to stay home and call if the symptoms get worse. So essentially, no treatment whatsoever.
The one who was treated was put on a ventilator almost immediately. He was basically left to die until his wife was talking to a customer at her job – turns out this customer went to high school with the guy and was a nurse at the hospital the guy was at; she checked his data on the Epic system and called his wife back and told her who to talk to to get the guy off the ventilator as she didn’t think it was necessary. Two days later they got him off the ventilator and he recovered. He has some lingering effects which the doctor says is a result of the virus but I told her it was more likely a result of scarring from the ventilator.
So by “a little better at treating patients” is code for “we’re actually doing our jobs now but we still want you to feel guilty for making us do our jobs.”
I’m positive my entire family had it last December. Took the kids to the doc who said it wasn’t influenza and must be some other respiratory virus. Lots of dry coughing.
I think we all got z-packs and were recovered in a few days. It was significantly less worse for us than the flu.
I will fight any doctor that tries to put me on a death machine…errr…ventilator
I think in 5 years we are going to find out that the large deathrates at the beginning in the NE are most exclusively do to the ventilator usage, the nursing home issue will be the secondary. The ventilators were made a political issue from the beginning, the politics of the virus have killed far more people than the virus ever did. It’s disgusting.
Serious question from an Engineer who doesn’t know much about ventilators: What are the hazards that would make them contributors to the excess deaths?
Outside of infections (pneumonia), too high a pressure causes lung damage.
Internal damage done when they intubate and if left on one too long the body realizes it doesn’t need to perform the basic function of breathing.
At least what the doc’s told us when my dad went on one.
In the beginning, people that had no business being put on one were immediately being put on them.
I think there was a nurse that did a video where she breaks it down while she herself broke down.
That is my guess.
A lot of covid quackery has its origins as “well, this is what the Chinese are doing so let’s do that”.
Thx y’all.
Plus, there were a fair number of doctors using them, especially in the early spike in the NY area, who didn’t really know how. Used properly, they are a net benefit. Of course, they are (properly) used as a last resort, so being put on one and then dying doesn’t necessarily mean it was the ventilator what done it.
At my workplace, we’re touting all the ventilators we’ve provided. I think that will come to bite us in the ass and we’ll have to scrub any mentions of ventilators from our web site in a few years’ time
You expecting to be held liable for how the item was used/misused? Or just inoculating against the SJW crowd when they come for everyone?
Like Idle said – we’ll find out how deadly ventilators have been and how they’re probably the last treatment that should be used. Then all of our “look how many we provided!” marketing will look silly, at best. Malicious at worst.
That is a really loaded question. If the answer is “no” that’s a good indication that the virus is man-made. If the answer is “yes”, then why the fuck are we ruining or economy?
Those
antifaright-wing, trumpster terrorists had more targets.Members of anti-government paramilitary groups discussed kidnapping Virginia’s governor during a June meeting in Ohio, an FBI agent testified Tuesday during a court hearing in Michigan.
Special Agent Richard Trask was part of the investigation that led to six men being arrested and charged last week with plotting to kidnap Michigan’s Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Seven other men face state terrorism charges.
Trask did not name Virginia’s Democratic governor, Ralph Northam, during his testimony in a federal courtroom in Grand Rapids. He said members of anti-government groups from multiple states attended the meeting.
“They discussed possible targets, taking a sitting governor, specifically issues with the governor of Michigan and Virginia based on the lockdown orders,” Trask said. He said the people at the meeting were unhappy with the governors’ response to the coronavirus pandemic.
This would end up being a The Switch type of deal. Before you kidnap someone, make sure that someone wants them back.
Good news. Found out last night that my mom has apparently been driving without a license after an unreported MVA and has taken the car of a recently deceased friend/someone she was taking of because it was left to her. Allegedly.
*face palm*
Sorry that you have to deal with that.
Lucky you
I’m not looking forward to taking the keys from my father. It might get violent.
My cold dead hands…
Yikes!
Argh! We might need to do the same to Step-Son. Narcoleptic stoner.
Out of the blue, get an email from her later that she’s helping said family settle the estate and some other stuff. Nothing about the MVA or ending an ongoing battle with her condo management to clean up & fix exterior/common area stuff. My brother is going over this weekend to see what’s going on.
She’s always been off but mostly got by. Seems like the real decline is starting and it’s not going to be a easy one.
Sorry to hear that, man.
Sorry 🙁
re: “Things will come back.”
It doesn’t matter how much money you dump from the helicopters, if there’s nothing on the shelves to spend it on.
Or no food to eat.
We’re fucked. just wait ’til President Biden’s economic brain trust, starring the likes of Jason Furman and Neil Kashkari, puts a hard lockdown on the economy for six months, to defeat the plague once and for all.
Yes but after world war II things got back eventually.
In eastern Europe and most of Asia, eventually meant “after two more generations of communism.” Which was advantageous to the West since it took out half the competition, which the west still doesn’t understand.
well there were also disadvantages… the whole world would be a lot richer without communism including the west. Especially since communism was used to push lefty shit in the west in the 60s and 70s
It’s going to be bad in 4-5 months. I don’t think people are quite prepared for how bad not bread line shit but it will be bad.

In an exchange with Sen. Feinstein about the Heller case, Amy Coney Barrett indicated that her approach to considering gun cases would rely on historical interpretations of the 2A—not public safety—which is the same extreme, unsuccessful legal framework the NRA has tried to use.
https://twitter.com/Everytown/status/1316016206491467776
And here I thought it should be on whether it is constitutional… How would that work judges randomly interpreting laws based on what they believe is public safety ignoring the written text of the law?
Interesting that you should ask. I think I have a reference to a case study around here somewhere…
Public safety is for schmucks.
From the comments:
“In my opinion gun grabbers should only use communication technology that was available in 1791”
“*Me loading a cannon with grapeshot while my warship waits in the bay* poor choice of words”
“In my opinion physically removing a man’s torso with a blunderbuss is less humane than a modern gunshot wound”
The people that see an armed population as a dangerous obstructionary agent to the plans they have to create the new Soviet Union, will never admit they know damned well that the @A was added specifically to make sure the populous could protect themselves from people like these evil power hungry neo-marxist/fascist crowd’s ambition to deny the people their guaranteed rights.
When rights are issued by government, they can and will be revoked by government whenever it becomes convenient. When rights are natural, especially those to protect the individual from government, we give them up at our own peril…
which is the same extreme, unsuccessful legal framework the NRA has tried to use.
No. It is literally the only acceptable framework.

https://twitter.com/Lkatzenberg/status/1316097802989121536
No detailed explanation for the decision is offered, but one can only guess that it has something to do with a diminishing number of things to write about these past few years. The most satisfying part of it all are the RESISTards crying real tears over the demise of their precious war porn.
Maybe Trump ending our involvement in all these wars of yore has made it harder for these reporters to go into war zones without protection…
Oh, Katie.

I watched this show last night, called “How Britain worked” (I think), with Guy Martin, who is kind of an interesting person. I have seen some of his other stuff. He’s apparently, among other things, a self-taught historian of British industry and invention, or something along those lines.
Anyway, this particular show was about restoring an old water powered wood working mill. Very cool.
BUT- at one point in the proceedings, as they talked about the displacement of water power by steam engines, they went off on this tangent about how all the poor tenant farmers were put out of work by mechanical innovation, as if no longer being required to plow with horses, or go out in the fields in large platoons to harvest crops was somehow a tragedy. I’ll bet most of the people whose jobs were “stolen” by steam tractors did not waste a single tear lamenting the fact.
And factory workers were exploited by evil kkkapitalist profiteers.
Yeah, GM is an interesting person. He’s a truck mechanic by trade and last I heard he was still working as such, alongside his TV career, because he likes doing it. I haven’t seen the program in question but the collectivist “old left” ideology is absolutely ingrained into the culture of northern*, industrial towns, so regardless of any individual or particular views or interpretations he has, it’s a possibility that it does inform his perspective to a certain degree.

Amy’s got a gun.
No doubt Democrats reached for the smelling salts when Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham asked the 7th U.S. Circuit judge and nominee to the Supreme Court if she owns a gun.
Stand back.
“When it comes to your personal views about this topic, do you own a gun?”
“We do own a gun.”
I would have preferred “You remember that scene in the Matrix? It’s like that.” as a reply.
“I do not own A gun. I do not own several guns. I own enough guns to fillibuster a small third world nation and still arm the local militia back home. I plan to liberate california from its communist regime.”
Now that’s how you do it…
*points to avatar*
I saw a tweet that just said “ACB owns a gun”. I wasn’t sure if it was supposed to be in her favor or if they thought that was somehow disqualifying.
“I’m a Sig Sauer fan girl.” would also have been an acceptable answer.
I think that’d be enough to get me to vote against her. SIG ergonomics are BS.
HERETIC!
My p-320 is DA BESTEST!
I can never get past SIG’s insistence on maximizing the distance between the bore axis and my forearm axis. Also, the grip angle is not right for me on most SIGs. Haven’t tried the P-320, but from the pictures, the bore axis will continue to be an issue for me.

Her husband owns a gun.. How will you keep that good woman barefoot & pregnant, working in the kitchen, if she has access to a firearm?
/proggy idiot
I’ve never been asked that question by anybody who had unbiased opinions about the answer – most of them negative opinions – so I generally answer that I do not own “a gun.” I say it is an honest answer as I do not own one, single gun but several in just about any category you could come up with. Handguns, shotguns, rifles, registered machineguns, muzzleloaders, – it is difficult for me to parse it to come up with the answer that I only own “a gun”.
I once was asked by a cousin “how many guns do you own?” in a tone of either fascination or like they were interviewing a member of an indigenous tribe from the depths of the rainforest. I paused, not really knowing how to answer. I didn’t want to be rude (even though I felt the question, in context, to be rude), so I wasn’t going to say “none of your business.
So I said, “enough.”
Same question and fascination, but from an immigrant coworker.
I went the opposite route, responding “not enough”
So I said, “not enough.”
Well, she and her husband didn’t know that I wasn’t referring to my inventory, simply stating I was done talking with them about it.
Well played.
I once answered with something like “I’m pretty sure it’s a double-digit number” and got the wide-eyed “you really have more than 10???”
And I was like “yeah, but that’s not how I meant that…”
I actually have a problem in that I have tried to create an Excel spreadsheet to keep track. But usually in the day or so following I remember that Hi-Power I left with a Marine buddy, or those AK kits & receivers I haven’t finished, and a half-dozen AR lowers with a couple boxes of assorted parts that could build 2 or 3 complete guns, or that safe deposit box in AZ… a fixed quantity gets a bit hard to define.
I keep good track of all of mine, but especially the NFA stuff.
The real correct answer would have been, “Yes, we did own a firearm, but it was recently lost in an unfortunate boating accident.”

SJWednesday: Gotta Keep ‘Em Separated
Why does this new woke movement look & feel so much like the worst fantasies in lib minds of how old Jim Crow’s south worked?
Because it shares the same philosophical underpinnings as the eugenics era, just inverted on race.

Sounds racist af.

I enjoy the ballet and the symphony. Hard pass on the typical opera.
Same, and I’m a girl.
Someone once told me the secret to enjoying ballet and opera is to know the story beforehand. Ballet, sure. Opera…no. No can do screechy screechy.
Sure, an opera may about the murder of a king instead of who’s taking the cute boy to the sock hop, but it’s still a damn musical.
I thought you stopped trying to pass upthread? Ballet is for wasps.

The violin allows you to stare at the tits while pretending to be looking at the instrument.

Public safety is for schmucks.
I am so sick and tired of people who say safety is the single most important thing in life. It makes me angry.
The part I like is that they have absolutely no concept of comparative risk. The safety crowd support:
1. Shuttering the economy to fight a disease
2. Banning private ownership of firearms
3. Banning fossil fuels and nuclear power to protect the environment
Ok, I see the risks they are worried about, and they do exist, BUT
Poverty* has killed more humans historically than any other cause and proposals 1 and 3 will create massive poverty.
Tyranny has caused, and continues to cause, enormous suffering, and private ownership of firearms is the best defense against tyranny.
*Poverty does not mean having an Obamaphone or living in a food desert. Poverty means starvation.

No kidding.
You ever notice that the people most concerned about their ‘safety’, also tend to be the people with very little in their lives beyond television and social media?

Plumbing problems, thy name is Chez Mojo.
Plumbing problems with your plumbing or with the facility you reside in? The later sucks and is expensive… The first sucks even more and can be even more expensive…
The facility that I reside in. We have perpetual plumbing problems and have for the last 15 years. We haven’t had one for a year. It was nice. Now…who knows.
I feel your pain. I live in the boonies and have a well. My water was so acidic that I was spending close to $2K a month for the first 3 months repairing copper pipes that had thinned out from the acid water. I finally broke down and added a water treatment system and replaced practically all copper plumbing that could be easily got to with plastic. I had to replace the well foot pump thrice in the last 20 years because the water corroded the piece in record time. And it was costly because the idiots that drilled my well put the head 6 feet under ground (I had to dig it up to get to the well. The first time I dug that thing by hand myself because I refused to pay an extra $3K for the people to bring a backhoe. I learned my lesson about that because digging a 6 foot deep, 10 foot across hole, with a shovel, sucked ass. But I had something to prove to the ex. Anyway, this last time I paid extra to add a sleeve to the hole and finally get the well head above ground so the next time I (or whomever lives here) have to replace that thing, it is less painful.
Plumbing problems suck balzz.
What happened now?
Leak under XY’s and master bathrooms, over XX’s bathroom. Don’t know if it’s ours or XY’s.
That’s not good. Hope it isn’t anything major.
You and me both. We just found a wet spot in the closet behind the shower. Running pipes through a slab in north TX is criminal.
why is north TX unusual in the ways of plumbing?
Expansive soils cause a lot of foundation damage in that area.
^^ this.
It’s a constant battle to keep the foundation planar. You have to water your foundation to reduce the magnitude of the expansion cycle here. Most older houses are pier and beam so that it doesn’t cost a year’s salary every decade to fix the foundation. Most newer houses are slab because the builders are assholes. Plumbing leaks within the slab are common here.
Weird place to build houses then… There out to be regulations about it
what, and kill the multibillion dollar foundation repair industry?
Until you’ve seen it in person, it’s hard to describe how dramatic the expansion is. Ft. Worth is particularly bad.
When I was in West Texas, we had a big physician office and ambulatory surgery center. It had a long hallway, with the typical acoustic ceiling tiles. You could look down that hallway and see how much the foundation had shifted, because the rails holding the ceiling tiles were warped. A lot.
Seems to me a piered crawl space would be okay to do in N TX.
Yep. We have piered crawlspace and post-hoc piered slabs around here. IMO, piered crawlspace is the gold standard and piered slab is bare minimum.
You can fix piered crawlspace foundations with a bottle jack and a piece of wood (and plenty of bug spray).
Also, we’ve had to pull up our share of concrete in our basement, so slab or not, pipes still get buried.
I (as somebody who is a DIYer, at best… grain of salt and all) think that’s a rather inexcusable design. The ceiling of the basement is there for a reason. Maybe a couple pass-throughs through the concrete for water/waste mains, but why would anybody run anything through a permanently unaccessible medium when they have another option?
If you have sinks, laundry, a bathroom, etc. in the basement, you will have plumbing under the basement floor.
Or, yeah, what RCDean said.
From sad experience, I will tell you why.
In a basement, the ceilings are typically not quite 8 feet. The joist wells are barely 1 foot deep. The pipes have to flow on a DOWNWARD slope and the distance from, say, a sink or washing machine pipe to the stack may well be 20 feet. Sloping that downward on a ten-foot run may not be possible in 12 inches of space without cutting into the ceiling height.
If you add that the joists MAY be running perpendicular to the pipes, it would mean you’re putting holes in the joists, possibly quite big ones, which is not optimal.
Now, say you were to put in a wooden floor with access to the pipes a la network cabling, you’d reduce your ceiling height even more and still have the slope problem unless the floor was laid with a good slope to begin with.
So, there are lots of problems with not running pipes through concrete. IMO, it’s the least bad option.
Mr. Mojeaux found the leak. A copper joint needs to be re-done, and here’s hoping our local handyman can do that.
The main problem is accessibility. There is no ceiling access possible to it (i.e., getting out the Sawzall) and it’s in a very awkward place.
Because of course it is.
Heh.
Oh man, that is priceless!
WTF? I just watched ACB answer Feinstein that it is congress’ responsibility to make laws, not hers to make them up but to enforce them as long as they were constitutional, and Feinstein’s response was to aske the her to – again – tell her how she would legislate from the bench. These team blue idiots truly believe that the courts are just another extension of the legislative arm instead of a separate entity created to make sure the legislative body (congress) doesn’t abuse the constitution in the exercise of its power. Worse yet is after the she tried desperately to trip ACB and fell flat, that she acted all nice and complimented her on her family…
Feinstein was trying to get ACB to make an unforced error that would then require her recusal on upcoming cases.
ACB wasn’t having any of it.

I don’t see the point of that.
Interesting to see how the ratings shake out
I mean, we do already have our first reality TV president.
Trump will have higher ratings, but I’m sure the questions will be ridiculous.
“After Trump declined to participate, the Biden campaign announced it would participate in a town hall with undecided voters hosted by ABC News. ”
“undecided”
“voters”
“by”
They can’t decide if they want to go to the trouble of voting for Biden 2 times or 3.
I imagine if Trump told his people to wear MAGA Hats to the polls, that would be attacked as voter suppression
CO seniors protest outside their nursing home: “Rather die from COVID than loneliness”
Residents of a rehab facility and nursing home in Colorado protested outside their building Thursday, saying they do not want to be restricted from visiting with or getting a hug from loved ones.
Many of the residents of Fairacres Manor in Greeley, Colorado, stood or sat in wheelchairs outside the facility holding signs that read, “Prisoners in our own home,” “Give us freedom,” and “Rather die from COVID than loneliness.”
That is so disrespectful to the thousands of people who have died of COVID
Don’t they know we have to protect the most vulnerable? STFU and get back in your cage.
My grandmother who was basically locked into her nursing home said this. Inhumane.
I have friends in their 70s and some in their 80s who are fed up with lockdowns, and have (since June or July) been out and about. We meet for breakfast at a local restaurant once a week with a group ranging in age from 30s through 80s. We get between 10 and 20 people every week. Only one guys in his 80s has refused to come out, I think because his wife has respiratory issues, and he’s afraid of carrying something back to her.
The rest are determined not to live in fear. It’s a group of pilots, so not exactly strangers to risk.
One of my friends is done with the lockdowns, his wife on the other hand…
She seems to slowly be coming around that this is not smallpox, or the black plague.
This is exactly how it should have worked from day one. Vulnerable folks pull back from social commitments, otherwise healthy folks continue business as usual
Elizabeth Warren on How to Honor RBG’s Legacy — and the Dangers of Confirming Amy Coney Barrett

Boys are more likely to have very high or very low IQs. A broader range.
IQ “intelligence” is, of course, really just a moderate predictor of academic proficiency. I suspect that men are more naturally specialized than women because they typically had more varied roles in most of evolutionary history and that this will start to go away over a few more thousand years.

The infamous essential worker. They alone can forge ahead, protected by government decree and label, allowing you all to hunker down in your homes for your own sakes.
As our great forefathers said in 2020, if you want to work, get an essential job. It is that simple.

CRE is a looming disaster of epic proportions.
The article I linked upthread about the shakedown in restaurants mentioned that those who owned their buildings outright were in a much stronger position, even with landlords willing to work with the places regarding rents.
Not even offices either, look towards all the strip malls and stand alone retail places. Then look at what’s going to happen to city/state property taxes. Shit’s going to get real by the end of 2021.
strip malls – American decadence. Good riddance. People in communist Romania did not have malls and the sex was better (according to that one NYT writer at least)

When do Democratic states lose like 20 seats? Looking forward to this shit storm.
2022.
Current estimate, I am seeing:
However, the new estimates allow for a pretty good projection of where things will end up. For the 2nd consecutive decade, Texas (+3 seats) and Florida (+2 seats) look to be the big winners. They were also the only two states to gain more than one seat in 2010. Arizona, Colorado, Montana, North Carolina and Oregon are projected to gain one seat. As the number of districts is fixed, these 10 seats must come from somewhere else. One seat is expected to be lost by each of Alabama, California, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia. 33 states will see no change.
However, if the “not counting illegal immigrants” change happens, CA loses 2 instead of 1, Texas only gains 2, and Florida only gains 1. Alabama, Minnesota, and Ohio would stay the same instead of losing 1 each.
Millions of uncounted minorities, according to the MSM.

“Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad
Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company, according to emails obtained by The Post.
The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month.
“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email reads.
An earlier email from May 2014 also shows Pozharskyi, reportedly Burisma’s No. 3 exec, asking Hunter for “advice on how you could use your influence” on the company’s behalf.
The blockbuster correspondence — which flies in the face of Joe Biden’s claim that he’s “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings” — is contained in a massive trove of data recovered from a laptop computer.”

This was the October surprise. A semi-ethical news media would hav excoriated Biden for all the shit that has come out over the last 2 weeks.
-At a minimum, he was a knowing accomplice in the Russia coup since September 2016
-He was selling influence in Ukraine and had the president impeached when the DOJ got too close to the truth
If our media was in the same ballpark as reasonableness, Biden would be crashing and burning right now. He, alone, makes Nixon look like a piker, and he’s at best the 3rd most corrupt in Obama’s admin.

She seems nice.
Cleopatra was white.
Although Cleopatra was also famously ugly. I don’t think Gal Gadot can pull that off.
I can think of something she could pull off.
I first saw her in Wonder Woman. She’s so damn hot she makes every male (and some of the females) in the audience lose at least 20 IQ points.
Yes. When she smiles it makes me feel funny.
Keeping Up With the Joneses was a pretty lame movie, but it did have a scene with Gal Gadot wearing lingerie, so it wasn’t a total loss.
“Although Cleopatra was also famously ugly.”
Curious how they know that.
Because she was famously deformed due to inbreeding and it was widely written about.
Coins contemporary to her era that had her profile on them
Curious how they know that. – most greek chicks are kinda ugg
Another way they know is because her face was printed on coins that survive. Also, by today’s standards, Marc Antony would not remotely be considered good-looking either. So maybe they were made for one another.
I would rather stereotype than look at coins, thankyouverymuch
Hollywood tells me she was beautiful as fuck, though, so I choose to go with that.
Elizabeth Taylor was a smokeshow.
Cleopatra (I presume this is about the Cleopatra kerfuffle) wasn’t Middle Eastern either. She was of Greek/Macedonian ancestry.
I’m just curious what planet these people are on where Egypt and Israel aren’t right next to each other.

I’m going to guess the bloodlines are pretty mingled at this point, so my answer would be both, and Slavic, Teutonic, Krim Tartar, and maybe even a touch of the Dacian as well.
I remember the study where they did genetic testing on Israeli Jews and the cultures living right next to them who want them to be destroyed, and found that they were overall indistinguishable.
We need Nassim Taleb to start screaming how Cleopatra was neither white nor middle eastern but Eastern Mediterranean (the bestest of races). Although he would have a point.
I’m a person of (half) Eastern Mediterranean decent, and I’m fairly certain Eastern Mediterranean is just called white.
white is not about race but about purity or some shit / Taleb

Something went wrong…
Did Twatter hide that tweet because it made fun of team blue?
I always have to click twice on Twitter links per browser session. Something in their API does that.
Does this work?

Astra Taylor: Ah, yes. This phrase, “We are a republic, not a democracy.” I heard this phrase frequently, but always from a certain class of person. Always from a white man. I did quite a few interviews—what in the documentary film world we call “streeters”—where I would set up on a corner and talk to passersby. Often people were quite reluctant. I said, “I’m talking about democracy. Would you like to sit and discuss with me?” And I’d have to persuade people. They felt maybe a bit intimidated or they felt they lacked expertise. And often those interviews would be really interesting. People would actually be quite wise or have reasons for being politically disengaged or politically cynical that were actually pretty credible.
Then there were these guys who were really eager. “Yeah, of course you shall interview me about democracy!” And after a question or two, they’d go flat and say, “Well, we’re a republic, not a democracy.” That is a phrase that is uttered by people who, looking back on the sweep of American history, see themselves as safely at the center of the narrative, and typically they see their present privileges under threat. And so, they want to shore up the privileges that they possess, and they’re looking for a sort of historic hook.
Why in God’s name would we want to resist the whims of the mob?
Don’t know who Astra Taylor is. Don’t care, either.
Ah, she’s a fan of Angela Davis and Zizek.
In other words, she would be more than happy to shuttle the wrong-thinkers off to the gulags.
^^^. I support civil rights, as long as they don’t apply to nast Class Traitors and Enemies of the Revolution.
Angela Davis will get her desserts, in this life or the next.
How dare Mike Lee profane one of the most sacred tenents of Modern Establishment Government. Democracy is the most imporatant thing. It is the end.
Protecting the rights of the minority from the fervor of the majority? Sounds racist as hell.
So what is the practical effect of the census ending early?
Widespread death and impoverishment.
Nah, Net Neutrality and the Tax Cuts already kilt everyone ded!
You don’t come between Sconnies and our Beer!
Ronaldo is flaunting quarantine rules. Good for him by using every leverage he has. The less respect for this silliness, the better.
Did they test him again? Because he has no symptoms. I mean. False positives are very common.
Meant “flouting.”

What could possibly go wrong?
At least I have no plans to go downtown Friday, and I’ll be heading out further west for the only plans I do have.
Get the hell out of here with that.
