Scene from my teen years.
Shit’s about to get real. Now in a very white, very Mormon, and very well-armed area like ours, I expect almost no ado, a paucity of donnybrooks, grim and bear it. And even downtown Mesa or Phoenix are so filled with the equivalent of rooftop Koreans, there’s unlikely to be much serious consciousness-raising going on. But San Francisco? Seattle? New York? Chicago? I predict “so ugly that you can make popcorn using the heat from the burning buildings.” So this could be it. If not, and everything stays more-or-less calm, I’ll spend my next Links pretending that I never made this prediction.
I won’t pretend about birthdays, however, because they include the William Henry Harrison of Tibet; the German who originated the idea of the Plate Job; a guy who was the opposite of an ignorant slut; a guy who inspired the most hilariously clumsy and awful movie in modern history with his hilariously clumsy and awful “song”; a guy whose life you couldn’t possibly make up; and what happens when Eraserhead writes country music.
Let’s see if there’s any hope to be had in the News.
This is an interesting experiment in achieving herd immunity.
Mitch shows he can troll pretty well himself.

Is this breathtakingly dishonest? Or breathtakingly stupid? You decide.
It’s like he’s doing shit at random.
Speaking in Flint, Michigan, Biden joked of Trump, “When you were in high school, wouldn’t you have liked to take a shot?” The Democrat then mocked the president as a “macho man” and called him “weak.”
Biden’s reference to “taking a shot” at Trump was reminiscent of remarks Biden made at least twice before indicating he’d fight the president if both were younger. Trump, too, on Saturday suggested he could beat up Biden if given the chance and suggested the former vice president wears sunglasses to cover up “surgery on the eyes.”
“Remember when he said he’d like to take me to the back of the barn?” Trump asked.
He then waved his hand, suggesting he could easily topple Biden.
“He’s not a big guy,” Trump said of his Democratic opponent. “A slight slap, you wouldn’t have to close your fist.”

Aren’t some of these authors the same ones who said that the Sturgis rallies caused 200K covid cases?
No, it’s not. Similar approach though: “Our method is based on a collection of regression models, one for each event, that capture the relationships between post-event outcomes and pre-event characteristics, including demographics and the trajectory of COVID-19 cases, in similar counties. We explore a total of 24 procedures for identifying sets of matched counties. For the vast majority of these variants, our estimate of the average treatment effect across the eighteen events implies that they increased subsequent confirmed cases of COVID-19 by more than 250 per 100,000 residents.”
Translation: we kept feeding shit into every model we could find until something gave us the result we wanted.
I kinda wonder if it’s the case that they would get a similar “effect” if they did the same thing with places that Joe visited.
The problem there is Joe only got around 10 people to attend his rallies.
I’ve been listening closely to the media and that sounds like potential “exponential spread” to me 😉
I knew that was Lyle Lovett before I even looked.
A fist fight for the presidency would be an entertaining addendum to the debates.

“won’t pretend about birthdays, however, because they include the William Henry Harrison of Tibet”
Did he kill a bunch of Indians in battle?
Extrapolating this figure to the entire sample, we conclude that these eighteen rallies ultimately resulted in more than 30,000 incremental confirmed cases of COVID-19. Applying county-specific post-event death rates, we conclude that the rallies likely led to more than 700 deaths (not necessarily among attendees).
According to our model, our model is correct.
^^^ you have to be careful about reporting on this since I saw it reported as “Trump rallies” lead to 700 deaths. No it’s all model masturbating.
The article is being published “pre-peer review” which is even worse, and academically fraudulent. True peer review will tear these claims and assumptions to shreds. But of course, actually contributing to the scientific literature wasn’t the point of this, it will probably never make a respectable journal, but only to get their absurd “findings” out publicly for one more thing for the correct thinkers in our world to cluck their tongues about.

The gloves come off
But Fauci’s restraint appeared to have evaporated in a Washington Post interview that was published Saturday night, in which he called out the White House for allowing its strategy for fighting the virus to be shaped in part by a neuroradiologist with no training in the field of infectious disease and said he appreciated chief of staff Mark Meadows’ honesty when he admitted to CNN’s Jake Tapper during a recent interview that the administration has given up controlling the spread of the virus.
——-
Fauci did not mince words describing what he views as the untoward influence of Dr. Scott Atlas, a controversial figure who has become the President’s de facto Covid adviser. Atlas, a White House coronavirus task force member who took on more prominence as Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx receded from public view at the White House, has misrepresented the effectiveness of masks and discouraged testing of asymptomatic people, even though most medical experts believe it is a critical element of stopping the spread of the virus.
“I have real problems with that guy,” the Washington Post quoted Fauci as saying about Atlas. “He’s a smart guy who’s talking about things that I believe he doesn’t have any real insight or knowledge or experience in. He keeps talking about things that when you dissect it out and parse it out, it doesn’t make any sense.”
——-
“It’s unacceptable and breaking with all norms for Dr. Fauci, a senior member of the President’s Coronavirus Taskforce and someone who has praised President Trump’s actions throughout this pandemic, to choose three days before an election to play politics,” Deere said in the statement. “As a member of the Task Force, Dr. Fauci has a duty to express concerns or push for a change in strategy, but he’s not done that, instead choosing to criticize the President in the media and make his political leanings known by praising the President’s opponent— exactly what the American people have come to expect from The Swamp.”
It’s amazing how vicious academic turf wars can be. Foochy swings a mean purse. Don’t get too close to him.
Fauci is a diva who has been getting his fix by people praising him for being an authoritarian little shit.
^^This.
If people stop panicking about the virus, his 15 minutes is over.
One of the reasons Trump sucks is poor choice in advisors. Fauci and Trump were butting heads way back when Trump tried to limit flights from China. When Fauci grabbed the spotlight it was downhill for Trump. By that point he couldn’t fire Fauci, but he should have drowned out Fauci’s voice by forming a community saying we need to hear from multiple “experts” and “communities” blah blah. Boom. Fauci loses the spot light and the media makes a weak argument that this was a political move
I don’t understand how the man could take on the likes of Bolton and Sessions.
Forming a committee
Bruh. He’s been in office since 1984.
Drain the swamp? ?
I am aware Fauci has been a govt employee since the 80s. I think there were real options with minimal political damage to sideline Fauci in March without the huffy we aren’t having pressers anymore. Trump or an advisor couldn’t think of one? Like I said this seems to be a pattern of poor advisor choices and the inability (some of which is out of his control like the deep state) to maintain one voice.
Not just a government employee, he’s been in his present position (head of the NIH subcomponent National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) since 1984. Way too long for both him and the institute.
One of the big problems with infectious disease in public health, in my view, is that the recent experience is shaped by AIDS and epidemics/disease control in third world countries. I think both have shaped some very warped and unhealthy views.
I suspect Trump has little choice in the selection of advisers. My guess is the senior GOP leadership made it clear that they would provide X% of advisers or they would desert Trump. See the selection of Pence as veep.
If Trump wins a second-term, that dynamic might change. The GOP and Dems both play on the same swamp creature team, but I think/hope the Dems’ treatment of Kavanaugh shook many of the GOP.
“I don’t understand how the man could take on the likes of Bolton and Sessions.”
Both of whom are political appointees who serve at the pleasure of the President, and are in positions that are obviously political by the unwritten rules of Washington.
Even if Fauci was someone who served at the pleasure of the POTUS, he’s part of the supposedly apolitical US government workforce, and firing him would be seen as political silencing of MUH SCIENCE.
The reason we’re so doomed is that the “professional civil service” is now the 4th branch of government, it’s the most powerful branch of government, and it’s in the permanent hands of the socialists.
If they had kept the spoils system, every time the Presidency changed hands people would see Blue political hacks exchanged for Red political hacks, and no one would think of the government as anything but a pack of political hacks on the grift. But instead we now have a permanent ruling class of Blue political hacks pretending to be unbiased nonpartisan straight shooting professionals of whatever federal department or agency.
You see it whenever the media is running an anti-Trump piece with some Swamp critter as the forefront. “Mr. ________ who has served under both Republican and Democratic administrations says that Mr. Trump is……..” is portrayed as apolitical when he’s just a Democrat who spent the Bush years suborning and goldbricking and delaying and obfuscating conservative policy in between the Clinton and Obama years of eagerly working hard to accomplish those goals and is now back to obstruction now that Trump is in office.
Contact tracing doesn’t work with an endemic virus. It’s just wasted effort.
No it’s not a wasted effort. Show us your papers now, Scruffy!
You’re not kidding. Yikes. What’s the hilariously clumsy and awful movie?
This, I presume.
I saw it reported as “Trump rallies” lead to 700 deaths. No it’s all model masturbating.
He killed those people, just as surely as if he had cut the brake lines on a Biden bus and sent it over a 10.000 foot cliff.
Trumpsters don’t cut brake lines. They circle Biden’s bus – in a Lord Humongous approved move – in their super trucks trying to crash them so they can get the sweet ballot harvest inside.
It’s just like Easy Rider!!1!11!!!

As a brutal and I spoke about Zed she was convinced to watch your movie. Although she mainly seems to be moved by Zed’s chest hair and wardrobe choices

Unless it includes slaughtering every individual who has been in contact with disease, as they do with hoof and mouth disease. It works with cattle. Why not tax cattle?

Speaking of movies which may or may not be simultaneously hilarious and awful…
I watched this one last night. There were more than a few truly funny parts. And no movie featuring a delectable young Tuesday Weld could ever be completely awful.
Cinematography by Daniel Fapp, I see.
A good choice for filming a young Tuesday Weld.
“It’s like he’s doing shit at random.”
Peter Hitchens said something similar about Boris:
We are seeing the impotence and conceit of those who would claim the power to control the economy. They have no knowledge or plan and so fly flit from panic measure to panic measure. The best thing to do would be to note how powerless they are despite their claims of intelligence and then ignore them.
How the hell am I up this early making crazy jokes after Zoomin’ last night? Anyone want to explain again how this isn’t a cult? ?
We don’t have enough money and women for this to be a cult
I was going to point out the lack of young girls being sexually exploited as proof this isn’t a cult, but then I remembered who posted the linx this morning.
Well we can still say that no young girls are being sexually exploited by a charismatic leader
I blame the time change.
Trump once suggested that the virus had not been a serious problem for himself, first lady Melania Trump or his teenage son Barron, glossing over the fact that the first family receives the highest caliber of medical care in the country and had access to experimental treatments that are not available to most Americans.
Failing to acknowledge the grave risks of the virus to older Americans and those with pre-existing conditions, Trump falsely claimed Saturday that “because of our relentless efforts, the recovery rate right now on Covid, or China virus, or the China plague, is 99.7%,” using a racist term to describe the virus.
Not only is there not enough data yet to understand the long-term consequences on patients who have contracted the disease, but about 2.5% of people in the US who tested positive for Covid-19 have died from it, according to Johns Hopkins University.
Beat that tin drum, little wind-up monkey. Beat it good.
Trump is the one failing to acknowledge the risks to older Americans? It’s everybody else claiming it will kill people left and right regardless of age that are not properly acknowledging the risks.
English Trump is such a disappointment. They should sober up Farage and let him run the show.
Well damn, misthread…
But valid sentiment!
“China” is a racist term now?
Yeah, I got a good chuckle out of that. Fucking pathetic.
Yes. Also asking that question is racist. In fact, by my not immediately canceling you, now I’m racist. As is anybody who reads my comment without canceling me.
So this is a “racism superspreader” event?
It’s cancels all the way down.
I’m still baffled why “the Orient” is an offensive term now.
It means “the East”. No disparaging comment on the people or their culture.
Other than the fact that those yellow bastards can’t drive they’re just like the rest of us.
Because it keeps you on the defensive.
That’s approximately 95% of the SJW BS. Developing new vectors of taking offense to gain social power.
Huh. I thought Oriental referred to Uruguayans.
Implies that it’s not “the Center.”
Driving through N. Philly yesterday most of the small businesses are boarded up and I expect the larger chain ones to do so by Monday night. City Avenue (dividing line between the city and the Main Line) is starting to board up as well. I’ve read its the same scene in NYC, DC, Boston, etc. and as my neighbor said: “These businesses ain’t boarding up to prepare for a Trump loss”.
I hope for Philly’s sake these predictions are incorrect.
I bet there’s some rioting on Election Day regardless of outcome.
Then the Dems can lecture the rioters for intimidating voters on the way to the polls. It’s —-BWAHAHAHA! Like that would ever happen.

No. Though that one is bad.

“Trump raised baseless concerns about election fraud”
Well it’s settled then. The AP can’t possibly be wrong.
Everything’s baseless if you refuse to look into it.
This is the strategy alright.
Just like the California ballots are labeled that all Californian voters will receive a ballot in the mail.
But how do we know a particular person is eligible to vote so we can send a ballot? Easy! If a person has a ballot, he/she is a voter by definition, so he/she is eligible to receive a ballot.
We actually has more ToT’ers than last year and not a single one was wearing a mask (neither were the parents).

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced a new rule Saturday that will require people coming to New York to test negative for COVID-19 at least three days before arrival.
Once they reach the state, travelers must quarantine for three days and then retest on the fourth to ensure they are coronavirus-free, Cuomo added.
“There’ll be no quarantine list, there’ll be no metrics,” Cuomo said during a press conference.
So… inchoate, impotent shouting at passing clouds. Fatuous do-something-ism seems to be Cuomo’s virtuoso skill.
Is he going to put a checkpoint on I95?
I95, I96… whatever it takes
travelers must quarantine
There’ll be no quarantine list
Oh, FFS.
Shit, my son had been driving back and forth from Philly to Brooklyn for the last six months. First going to see his girlfriend on the weekends and then moving to the city.

I hope so. The helicopter shots of traffic backed up to Maryland will be amusing as all get-out.
Worked out so well politically for Chris Christie.
He came out basically untouched, although we all know he knew.
They only managed to get two underlings.
Uffda. Even Portland isn’t woke enough for a poor benighted brown woman from England.
Nobody gives a shit about your mixed race marriage. Everybody wears their paranoia as a badge of honor these days.
I think – based on the pics – that most people are staring because they are trying to figure out if she is a really bad drag queen or an ugly woman
I think it’s because he rolls his jeans up like he’s pretending to be Huckleberry Finn.
Protip: If you run around shouting about how scared you are because of being a mixed-race marriage, eventually people are going to notice that you are in a mixed-race marriage.
It’s sort of like running around saying “I really want to date but I’m afraid to because my dick is the size of a miniature golf pencil!” and then professing to be surprised that someone somewhere is talking about your dick.
“armed vigilantes set up “checkpoints” in small towns – claiming they were worried about “antifa looting”.”
I actually don’t care. If cops won’t stop antifa then people have every right to protect their streets from roaming barbarians.
Personally, if private citizens attempted to stop, detain and question me when I’m randomly in or going through a town things could get ugly really quick. I wouldn’t put up with that shit no matter the reason short of open war…Of course, I don’t necessarily believe this person either.
Once I cool off, I agree. Someone stopping me with a gun is fixing for a bad time.
I think I get heated up by the constant gaslighting from the left that ignores the arson and barbarism from antifa like it’s fake and then get upset about people reacting to it like it’s death squads patrolling the streets.
To clarify, the checkpoints were in neighborhoods and run by the residents. They let residents in and kept out outsiders. These patriots saw what has been happening in other neighborhoods and decided to take a stand.
It also worked very well. There’s videos out there of Antifa complaining about the checkpoints, particularly the unfairness of the residents defending their neighborhoods being armed.
Seems like we might be heading towards the burbclaves in Snow Crash.
It’ll be something like that, mixed in with a nice helping of Brazilian favelas.
‘They let residents in and kept out outsiders.’
If I’m peacefully using public property or on a public road I have a big frigging problem with that. No citizen has the right to pull that shit on public property, even in it’s “your community”. It’s not yours, you own a piece of land in an area with other people, that’s it. If a group of neighbors decided to try to ask me who I was, what I was doing there, then tried to expell from a public area despite me bothering nobody’s person or property then I’d tell them “None of your business”, “None of your business”, and “Be ready to hurt or kill me, fuck you.”. Those kind of neighbors are just as bad as the Antifa jackoffs.
When the police are ordered to stand down and not provide assistance to residents from Antifa, these guys did damn well to step up and take that responsibility on themselves. Real men and women who stand up like Rittenhouse did.
Equating residents defending their property in the absence of law enforcement with Antifa who is trying to destroy their property is one hell of a false equivalency.
I can’t imagine anything more stupid than stopping your vehicle for a group of armed men not in uniform. That’s how you end up dead in a ditch somewhere.
‘Equating residents defending their property in the absence of law enforcement with Antifa who is trying to destroy their property is one hell of a false equivalency.’
And I’d content that authoritarian vigilantes harassing people in public areas is a hell of a false equivalency with defending your personal property.
Agree to disagree, I guess.
in public areas
Let’s be clear that public areas refers to streets that lead to the residents’ homes. Not anything for anyone’s use but those residents.
And this wasn’t some sort of vague theoretical scenario. There were mobs of Antifa streaming towards those homes. The residents chose to stop them at a bottleneck rather then let barbarians in through the gates.
To which Antifa similarly complained about that their right to march on those houses was being obstructed.
SSP: I understand the context. I guess where we part ways on our way of thinking is that while I get the tactical approach used was probably the most effective, I still disagree with it in principle. I think I draw the line at stoping the Antifa shitheads with force until they actually break the law.
Keep armed to the teeth, openly. Shadow them, openly. Keep in radio communication with your neighbors ahead and behind you, and most likely they’ll be too chickenshit to do nothing more than squawk for a bit then retreat. Anything more than that and your delving into that Portland Free Zone or whatever it is nonsense where anyone wearing anything pro american was harassed or assaulted.
Again, agree to disagree.
Again, agree to disagree.
Or, we could view citizens stepping up to preserve public order when government fails as the core purpose of the unorganized militia.
We rail against police, we rail against roving mobs unhindered by police, we rail against the militia serving its core purpose.
What’s left? New Soviet Man, who would never be so unmutual as to need policing, rove in mobs, or obstruct the public way?
I’m confused by what seems to be commingling of responding to violence with obstructing public ways.
It’s one thing to respond to violence; it’s another to impede free passage on a public way.
One of the great confusions inferred by the masses from the discord and inconsistency is this idea that un-permitted demonstrations should trump something akin to a first principle: that public ways shall not be obstructed. Get a permit or go to jail is so simple, but kids aren’t learning it by example. I would go further: deliberate obstruction is per se assault.
The inconsistencies of jurisdictions stem from the large budgets and bureaucracies. Small and simple leads to unambiguous priorities. Large and messy leads to constant political weighing because clarity is buried under layers of a blue-green miasma to perverse deliverables.
Large government means large messes: in fact, it’s the very recipe.
Yeah the former Seattle police chief lives in a suburb. Antifa was all tooled up to go “peacefully protest” at her house. Her neighbors formed a little roadblock at the entrance to the suburb. The indignant antifa asshole said “We’re peacefully protesting and you’re holding a gun” to which the deplorable redneck said “That’s why you’re peaceful.”
There is no such thing as “peacefully protesting” at someone’s home. That is an intimidation tactic, pure and simple.
Yes, the roving militias hellbent on keeping “your kind” out our town has always been a myth, cheap hollywood horror tripe. But I think many on the left subconsciously want people in rural areas to behave that way, especially now. If for no other reason than to alleviate some of their own guilt over supporting overtly anti-social and destructive behavior amongst their political allies for months now.
“See?! Those hicks are just as violent and authoritarian as us!”

Let’s see, numerous arrests for looting plus even more that weren’t arrested… I’d say those locals were right.
Hilarious how worried she is and how she knows how racist Oregon history is. There’s only one way she got it, by drinking straight koolaid of the grievance mongering leftist media. Stop reading Willamette Week and those blogs. No one gives a shit in rural Oregon what color you are. It’s even more hilarious because the overall percentages kind of gloss over the large concentrations of Hispanics in many areas or Asians in Washington County. Hell, i bet a quarter of the OTR drivers I see in truck stops are Indian (dot not feather).
And boo hoo that you found out that the ER isn’t for sniffles. Call you pediatrician’s office or go to urgent care. Why would you badger the ER doc for pricing? In a sane world, they would know it but that’s not how medical pricing works here.
Indians have pretty much cornered the short-haul LTL/FTL trucking industry on the west coast, at least outside of logging trucks. Russians are taking over a lot of the innercity courier business.
And one of the piss-poor things about socialized medicine, in England at least, is the assumption that you go straight to the doctor for every. single. thing. And that leads to the ER in the US. A friend of mine would go to the doc in England when he had a hangover. I mean, it’s free!
Faster than light trucking?
Full Trailer Load.
as opposed to Lighter than Light trucking?
Before the copays rationalized, I had a coworker whose family (well, the crazy wife) would basically use the ER as their doctor’s office for all sorts of minor ailments that would be better served by urgent care (or managing chronic conditions).
How many deaths and/or assaults have the Proud Boys been implicated in?
And the fascist slur is obviously old and busted now, neo-fascist is the new hotness.
That is the dumbest thing. There are huge Latin communities throughout the Willamette (the rural area south of Portland) and on the east side of the state. I live in semi-rural Oregon, drive through semi-rural Oregon and I see plenty of people of color, at least as much as in any other area of the country. And an f-ton more than you see in rural England or Ireland.
oh shush you….
Your going to ruin her triumphant return to Limeyland, scarred and broken from interacting with the savage tribes of America.
She’s clearly surrounded herself by hobgoblins of her own making in a close in neighborhood of Portland and doing everything she can to isolate herself (not due to covid or recently, either).
“When our daughter started daycare, she came home and said she didn’t like her brown skin; she wanted to be white like the other kids. She was three.”
Assuming this happened, which I seriously doubt but I’ll be generous in assuming you’re not a liar, the only way a kid that age even has the self-awareness to understand the concept of skin color is if you beat it into her head every day. That kid is going to be completely fucked up when she gets older.
So the kid is transracial. Why is mom transphobic?
No no no, gender is a social construct, but race is …wait, what I mean….uh, you see…your mom’s a whore.
They are making a pilot episode of a Tuttle Twins tv show. They wantz your moneez. Animation is expensive.
Good luck to the Tuttle Twins; anything to serve real history and civics up to kids.

I felt like a fool for moving her out of a city where she would have been surrounded by people who look like her.
If a white woman wrote that (about moving to, say, Atlanta), the woke mob would erupt in an “anti-racist” feeding frenzy.
And the white child may have more issues in school than just feeling a little different. They may encounter actual no shit racism in the predominantly black school.
+ Old white men spoken of in derision, for being old white men.
Can confirm. Went to a high school that had a mix of suburban middle-class neighborhoods and inner city ghettos. Racism only went one direction.
I also was a substitute teacher at some very bad, very rough inner city schools. The other subs (all older black adults) would look at my 23 year old white ass and laugh hysterically in the lobby while wishing me luck. Racism was rampant, never corrected, and again only went in one direction.
I remember standing outside the classroom door in between classes and the white permanent teacher next to me said “Mr. X, please tuck your shirt tail in” to a student. The student yelled back “Shut up you stupid white nigga”. The teacher looked at me and just shrugged.
“They may encounter actual no shit racism in the predominantly black school.”
I was known in my middle school of 600 as Fat White Boy, because I was the only student who met that description, and that was about the mildest thing I got called on a given day.
My MIL works at an inner city Philly high school. The unadulterated purely racist behavior (by students) towards non-blacks is everywhere. And they’re particularly hard on black kids who try to academically succeed.
“The unadulterated purely racist behavior (by students) towards non-blacks is everywhere.”
Jewish friend transferred to a private school after she was cornered in the bathroom by a group of girls who scratched her and spit on her for killing Jesus.
My Japanese teacher got called a chink and had paper balls thrown at her in the halls.
20% of the students would call me cracker, fishbelly, honky, etc with absolutely no hesitation or compunction.
Year after I graduated a white teacher got beaten and sexually assaulted by a group of five or six boys in her classroom, while the other 20 kids cheered and hollered.
“And they’re particularly hard on black kids who try to academically succeed.”
Friend of mine who ended up going to the gifted HS with me got called all kinds of shit. Coon, Uncle Tom, Oreo, sell out, house nigga, etc etc.
Depressing.
The alarming thing is how it was encouraged or overlooked by so many of the black educators, and how stark the divide by age was.
The black teachers who would actually crackdown on that behavior, who would try to encourage the smart kids, or the studious kids were all older. They’d try to get them to ignore the trash, tell them don’t stop doing well in school, that’s your ticket out. But they were all over 50. My principal the first two years was an actual civil rights leader, she was marching and organizing at great personal risk in the Deep South in the early 60s, then went on to a 40+ year career as a teacher and principal. She wouldn’t tolerate that shit. But she retired after 2002.
The younger black teachers just shrugged and said nothing. They let the thugs and the ratchet hos shit all over the kids who liked computers or liked reading or who got good grades. They’d let the kid who slouched and chewed gum or toothpicks cuss in class and grab his nuts and all that hood shit, and say nothing.
It’s OK to be racist now, so long as you’re not white, because only white people can be racist.
Imagine how foolish we feel for letting you in.
She plays the grievance game like a native. Who says America no longer assimilates?
SCIENCE!!
The Senate should convene a hearing with the heads of social media and TV companies. Lock them in a room and tell them that there can be only one (For the good of the country).
I’m for it as long as the Senators are locked in with them. I think that if we sold tickets to a death match between Zuckerberg and Moobs Schumer, we could probably make a big dent in the national debt.
The cost of the jello to fill the Senate floor for your death match would preclude any chance of making a profit. Especially since Moobs would require a tanker ship full of oil to grease up before the match. And Dorsey’s beard wax isn’t cheap either.
Oil and jello are relatively cheap, even in those quantities.
And pleases only listen to TV. Preferably MSNBC or CNN.
Have Zuckerberg sitting on Jack Dorseys shoulders screaming “ME MASTER, HE BLASTER!!!!”
Yes, this is true, But, you have to scroll social media, watch TV AND smoke a shit load of pot to get this effect.
Back to this:
Trump once suggested that the virus had not been a serious problem for himself, first lady Melania Trump or his teenage son Barron, glossing over the fact that the first family receives the highest caliber of medical care in the country and had access to experimental treatments that are not available to most Americans.
They have no problem whatsoever with dredging up the most apocalyptic outliers they can find, when it buttresses their claims that this is the most contagious and lethal virus ever, but for Trump to say he and his family got over it with relative ease, just as an unknown number of other Americans have done, is an outrageous thing to say.
had access to experimental treatments – which most likely didn’t do shit. vit d and zinc are probably better than all the remdesivir and regeneron or however the fuck you spell those
I just put my winter tires in the car to avoid bigger lines later on… although there was not much winter last winter. no idea how this winter will turn out. Also I still am not sure if it is worth paying extra to fill the tires with nitrogen instead of basic air.
I did that once (new tires so I did not pay extra)–no discernable difference. When you consider that basic air is 78% nitrogen anyway, it’s not surprising.
Imo, it’s a gimmick and would not pay extra.
I got Midas to shave some $ off my last two sets of tires too. Never hurts to ask.
In Minnesoda we put snow tires on our car. I’m sure your plan to put them in your car would add enough weight that you will get some better traction, but I don’t think it would help much here.
oh haha
I always used Michelin all-weather tires in Minnesoda. Even on my big old Ford Expedition. Never needed snow tires.
Michelin FTW!
I probably should have gone all weather myself… I dont drive much in winter.
It’s a complete gimmick for a street car. Filling tires with nitrogen reduces the amount of moisture in the tire, which reduces the range of pressure change as the tires gets hot. On a race track, you need to carefully control pressures in tires that are going to get very hot, so you use nitrogen. On a street car, the tires never get hot enough to for the moisture to make any difference. It’s a complete and total waste of time and money.
Even the cows in Australia are bad ass
Damn.
I still am not sure if it is worth paying extra to fill the tires with nitrogen instead of basic air.
The point of using nitrogen, as far as I can tell, is to eliminate moisture, which affects the rate of temperature-induced pressure fluctuations. Unless you are driving an F1 car, you’re unlikely to notice he difference.
It sure as Hell will make a difference! Where else can the tire shop chisel a few extra bucks out of you on the sale as well as have some hope that you will come back to check the pressure since they usually use “special” valves for tires with nitrogen?
Oh, a functional difference? Yeah, see above.
Also- I think most shops have air dryers on their compressed air systems, these days. It helps the air tools to last longer.
…and reduces the amount of water condensing in the tank, settling at the bottom, and rusting it from the inside.
…and makes for a nice stain below the drain on the concrete in my garage under my compressor.
Reminds me – I gotta drain mine.
I usually work on big systems in factories, so 100HP wouldn’t be odd.
But there’s a ton of things that can be done in a small system that avoid the expense, space claim, and maintenance of a dryer.
Most systems have an FRL: filter regulator lubricator kit in the line set. The typical problem with those is maintenance (the same guy who is not going to replace the filter and manage the oil level there isn’t going to take care of a dryer either). There’s usually some moisture in compressed air; it’s the oil that’s saves you, not its being purely dry.
The other big problem is piping design. For example, the lateral runs should be big enough that velocity lets some of the water fall out; then it needs to be sloped away from the compressor to a drain point. Drops for power should have neckovers to prevent standing water in the lateral line from merely running down to the load. Again: if you don’t blow out the drip legs regularly, the entire drain system is going to fill up until air is literally bubbling through standing water and blasting over the drip legs.
My two cents is every system requires a balance of design, investment, and maintenance, and almost all the problems (equipment failure, production downtime, distracted effort) can be attributed to some argument about not having the resources to do it right and maintain it in the first place. It’s a timeless, circular pour-mouthing technique: the kingdom lost for want of a nail.
I have automatic drains on every one of my drip legs, and a timer actuated drain on the compressor tank. It makes a HUGE difference.
Do you have any recommendations on passive drying? I’m about to install a CNC machine and I’d like to get most of the remaining moisture out of the line without having to install a cooling system.
I need to read up on how absorptionand regenerative systems work.

Muhammad cartoons: freedom of expression has its limits, according to Justin Trudeau
https://thecanadian.news/2020/10/30/muhammad-cartoons-freedom-of-expression-has-its-limits-according-to-justin-trudeau/
Asked again on Friday on this subject, Mr. Trudeau first argued that he would “always defend freedom of expression”. “But freedom of expression is not without limits,” added the Prime Minister. We don’t have the right, for example, to cry “fire” in a crowded cinema; there are always limits. In a pluralistic, diverse and respectful society like ours, we must be aware of the impact of our words, of our actions on others, particularly these communities and populations who still experience enormous discrimination. ”
It is a strange thing that the world finds Trumpy embarrassing but this complete turd not so much… There is something very wrong when such a pathetic non entity like Trudeau is generally well seen.
“In a pluralistic, diverse and respectful society like ours, we must be aware of the impact of our words, of our actions on others, particularly these communities and populations who still experience enormous discrimination.”
As long as you cut people’s heads off, we’ll limit everyone else’s rights to suit your desires
Just out of curiosity, what happens is there is actually a fire in a crowded cinema? Does the cryer go to jail?
I’m guessing this is why there haven’t been any recent animated H&H episodes
Cheese-n-ator is a dumb name for a cheese car, it’s more fitting a name for a cheese gun or a ray guy that turns things into cheese.
Now you’ve got me thinking of the Ray gun from the Tick (animated), which turned everyone who was shot with it into a guy named Ray.
If trick-or-treating worked like capitalism:
1 kid gets all the candy
He gives a few kids 1 M&M each and is called a generous philanthropist
Other kids ask why they’re candy-less & are called lazy
He retires from Halloween & writes laws to ensure he gets unlimited candy for life
https://twitter.com/DanPriceSeattle/status/1322765168972075009
So clever.
At least he’s a socialist who put his money where his mouth was.
Dan Price is a retard.
That’s not capitalism – that’s public sector unions.
If trick-or-treating worked like socialism:
1 kid goes door to door to gather all the candy while the rest “supervise” at home playing video games
The 1 kid is forced to share his candy with all the others who didn’t work to get the candy
The 1 kid objects and is thrown in a gulag for being a Kulak
Next Halloween all the kids bemoan their bad luck that they don’t have any candy after no one went out to gather it
False. In capitalism, one kid doesn’t “get” anything, as in the beginning of the analogy. That one kid earns candy and then invests it to suit his will.
Most socialist arguments involve sleight of hang in which money is injected into the system from “outside.”
What is the fount of all those candy blessings? The government printing press? Punitive taxes on the rich?
Socialists can’t imagine that more wealth will be created if allowed. To them, the pie is finite.
Doesn’t it start when a kid makes candy?
“Most socialist arguments involve sleight of hang in which money is injected into the system from “outside.”
AOC admits as much when she says the US is “rich enough to afford socialism”
Yeah, Honey, for now.
But are we rich enough now?
I would even go farther than that. How does the kid “earn” the candy in the first place? Only by providing something that improves another’s life and so they make a fair and free exchange of candy for it.
he did not earn it hid dad drove him around the neighborhood so he got an advantage on other kids. all wealth is inherited wealth.no new wealth exists
If he doesn’t invest in some new candy earners, I fear his family’s wealth will be short lived.
I’m sure that this has already been covered here, but I think I can cover it again because of the drugs falling out of an ass loophole.
Crack crack?
Butt blow.
So Fox did a poll which found a majority trust Biden more than Trump on the virus. A smaller majority think the virus is “out of control.” If Biden wins he’s likely to go full New Zealand.
The question is does he announce his plans before he’s inaugurated? If he does, there’s likely to be some epic shopping in the next few months.
Opus One 2017 is available at discount today for 1750 lei. You greedy american capitalists and your overpriced wines.
I asked the liquor store guy yesterday if they had any Romanian wines in stock. He said yes and pointed me to where they were. It was a red blend and a white blend. Did not buy. ?
why not?
Romanian Taylor Lake Country?
there is some weird color on that wine
I know nothing about Romanian wines, but I was looking for the words “Feteasca Neagra” based on previous comments here.
Are you saying I should try the blends?
as in all countries depends on the blend. There are plenty good blends. There is nothing inherently superior in a varietal. And there are varietal wines besides Feteasca in Romania which are good.
there is also, off course, bad Feteasca Neagra
?
UGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
“The U.S. continued to set new highs for infections this week, with Friday marking a record 99,321 daily new cases, bringing the seven-day average of daily new cases to a new high at 78,738, a CNBC analysis of data from Johns Hopkins University showed. ”
Well how many were tested, asshoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I looked up my ballot online, which I didn’t know you could do until someone mentioned it on here yesterday, and I’m surprised to see only 3 Pres candidates. No Green party? Have the Dems done something sneaky here?
Yet there is a Green Party candidate for PA Auditor, Treasurer and AG (the Libertarians are also up for those 3)
As much as the DNC hates Trump, they hate Jill Stein even more.
I honestly think they would have her killed if she tried to run again.
There has been a near total media blackout on the Green Party this election cycle.
Mine had something like 5 pres candidates listed.
We had:
Republican
Democrat
Unaffiliated
Green
Bread and Roses
Maryland threw out the LP and put the Bread and Roses party in. So now we have 3 commie parties choices. I had to re-register because I was registered as LP and so re-registered as unaffiliated because Maryland also hates the word independent, not commie enough sounding.
“The U.S. continued to set new highs for infections this week”
While deaths remain flatlined for the las 6 weeks.
Our great country started thriving in 1975 and peaked in 2006.
It was a fun ride while it lasted.
Owwwww, that hurt…..
I talking about the first link
God, I went to high school with one of those jackasses.
Absolute legends and I say that without irony.
“EXCLUSIVE: National security nightmare of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop containing phone numbers for the Clintons, Secret Service officers and most of the Obama cabinet plus his sex and drug addictions – all secured by the password Hunter02”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8901193/National-security-nightmare-Hunter-Bidens-laptop.html
I guess “podesta” didn’t have a capital or a number in it.
It must not have been encrypted either. It seems like he would have had enough graftmoney to spring for the Windows 10 Pro upgrade.
Ah, it’s a Mac, I withdraw my comment.
Having phone numbers is a national security nightmare?
The real risk was this could have been used as blackmail if Biden won. That is exactly what the FBI planned to do with it.
The threat of 2am calls for “is your refrigerator running?”
I always laugh at TV shows or movies where they crack somebody’s password in 2 or 3 attempts simply by guessing. I may have to rethink that.
I’ve done it twice in the past month. For real.

“Is Cuba socialist? (Comment why)”
The comments are retarded.
Australia, New Zealand, and Great Britain confiscate private guns. Same three countries repeatedly lock down entire population.
Biden website promises to confiscate private guns via death by a thousand cuts.
And then nothing else happens.
And Trump is the fascist.
Democrats are commies and commies have a very long history of calling their opponents, fascists. Look what they are already saying in regards of how they will deal with ‘fascists’ like Hungary and Poland if they win this month.
“Is this breathtakingly dishonest? Or breathtakingly stupid? You decide.”
Both. Notice they don’t do BLM.
“If you have been Tokyo, New York City or Rodeo Drive in Southern California, you have probably seen a pedestrian scramble. Phoenix will now have two of them.”

The smell of fresh bread fills the air—I set the bread machine on timer last night.

Nice. I always use the machine to make bread when my wife is making homemade soup. The aroma is amazing.

It’s snowing in Lambeau Field!
Fake Fox Newz! I’m 45 miles WNW and clear skies, snow stopped here at like 3am!
Biden commercial, on Meet the Press, is all about how desperately we need a National Mask Mandate! and various other beltway Public Health Industrial Complex top down one size fits all anti-plague edicts.
Is that really going to get people to vote for him? I can’t help thinking it’s going to rouse the “Fuck Off Slaver” voters who are sick to death of this dog and Foochy show.
I had assumed that if Biden won, the media and the lefty governors would gradually ease up on the panic and get back to normal in a few months. Now they are too committed to medical dictatorship and may never let up l.
Not exactly.
Here is what will happen:
The commie cooties will rage all around us in exponential ways and we will get hard locked down as soon as Capn Senile gets sworn in, just to punish the deplorables who caused all of this. This will include travel bans with check points. This will last approx 6 months until the dems realize they are going to crash the economy and get blamed for it. Then they will lift all the lockdowns and proclaim victory over the virus.
I would like to think that no one is that mendacious, but they are.
“This will last approx 6 months until the dems realize they are going to crash the economy and get blamed for it.”
I can’t imagine the economy can stand much more of this.
You left out the trillions of NuBux they will print to try and paper over the economic damage.
And the most irresponsible places that strangled their economies with lockdowns and unchecked rioting will be bailed out in spades with our money. If he wins it’s going to be catastrophic.
Yep, all part of the plan. That’s why places like Portland and Seattle stood by and watch their cities burn. They’re trying to see how much bailout bucks they can wrack up before other people’s money is all gone.
It’s just those non-essential businesses that are failing now. I mean, it’s obvious that they weren’t needed, they had non-essential right in the description of their classification.
Yes they are and they’ll do something very similar to what you said. It’ll be Karenism with the force of law (well really an edict but you know what I mean).
The most troubling outcome is they get the Senate too.
The only relief in site to that, is that they would lose both chambers in the midterm because their overreach would be so extreme. But we will all suffer under tyrannical lock downs and other invasions of privacy until then and the constitution what is left of it, will be shredded beyond recognition.
If they don’t get the senate I feel we can muster through.
Biden/Harris would be a complete clusterfuck of historic proportions from minute one. The left always fuck up because they always think their moment is at hand and they’ve won. It didn’t use to be that way. They fought the long game for many, many decades. Then they lost patience and so are very prone to stepping on rakes and minefields.
Of course any rights restricting legislation they pass in the mean time will become irrevocable.
That’s what worries me is full control. and with no filibuster.
I actually think Trump did a solid job unwinding a lot of what Obama did over 8 years. And did an excellent job on the courts (not just supreme court).
a democratic presidency should be a survivable thing right now.
but that senate worries me.
They’ll absolutely ease up. They’ll start slowing down the testing, which will lead to a drop in cases, they’ll quietly repeal the “cash for a COVID diagnosis” part of the CARES act, and then Kindly Uncle Joe will declare victory in time for the March Madness tournament.
If the media wasn’t covering the pandemic, no one would know about it. All they need to do is stop covering it, and it will be gone before next spring.
Hah! he won’t make it to March if he wins. Kamala is the next Presidente! You can’t have Open Gropin Fuhrer Biden there, that’s like Nazi shit, man!
Have to crush the economy so that the only way to “save” it is with the Green New Deal, Build Back Better, and the Great Reset.
“is all about how desperately we need a National Mask Mandate!”
Anyone who votes for that deserves the gulags, idiots.
Yes, but I don’t.
For decades most of the country has been and still is, pretty apolitical. Most people are just going about their lives, trying to keep up with bills, keep food on the table for their families, and going about normal people activities.
But we have had a small, but very politically active population who live politics and spend every minute of their existence and energy on political goals. Those are leftists.
That’s how we got here, with lefties controlling the media, academia, and entertainment. And now the corporate sector is falling in line under their control.
See my comment at #42 above.
Apparently Biden’s going to easily win according to 538 and looks stronger than Hillary did.
I think the correct way to state it is “Trumps projected to loose” because I don’t really see any enthusiasm for Biden.
there sure as shit is palpable democratic enthusiasm but it may be fair to say it’s enthusiasm for hating trump.
Nate Silver recently tweeted that he ignored a poll because it showed Trump’s black support as too high. Meanwhile, he accepted a recent poll that showed Biden plus 17 in Wisconsin (which has 0 chance of happening).
Silver also tweeted that the only way Trump could win is if the polls are more broken than in 2016 (which he says they correct for) or if Trump cheats.
Silver is in pure propaganda mode. Not saying Trump will win, but 538 has been completely skin suited.
I think the election comes down to Biden’s rep as “moderate blue collar Democrat” and how that plays in the Midwest. Are voters in PA, OH, WI, MI, MN going to fall for that bullshit. Do they think Biden:
A. Actually is a moderate
and
B. Will actually be calling the shots?
I agree. I will say OH is gone. OH, FL and GA are all safe Trump and I would be very surprised if he losses AZ or NC. Its those other states WI, MN, MI and PA. Will enough moderates come out for Biden to offset his losses in other areas?
I stand by my prediction that all those states will be very close and are the only states that matter in this election.
They’ve been posting Biden’s platform to social media today and it’s terrifying. I didn’t realize he was that far left.
Yeah the problem is that the low info voter still trusts their perception and believes what they hear from the candidate and the TV. Biden comes off as a moderate. Hes old, white, male, he does the whole shtick where hes from Scranton and hes not a socialist come on man. He’s only raising taxes on the rich. No one’s gonna take your guns. Come on man I’m from Scranton. I’m 78 years old, I’m not a socialist come on man that’s crazy talk man.
But his platform is very leftwing, and that’s if you believe that the hidden platform isn’t more leftwing. The Green New Deal by itself would destroy the American economy, and if he gets elected, it will happen.
The media is also 150% in for Joe. They have outright censored bad stories about him, they are running as pure a propaganda effort as they ever have. Big Tech has been locking Trump accounts and groups for the past couple weeks, crippling the organizing ability of the Right.
I think the whole thing they started today of actually sharing his platform to everyone on social media may backfire. Man is it ever terrible.
Hardly anybody is voting for Biden, regardless of the propaganda. The decision to keep him from campaigning was actually very smart.
The vote is anti-Trump v a mix of pro-Trump and anti-left.
“The decision to keep him from campaigning was actually very smart.”
Maybe. We’ll see. I still think there’s a good chunk of voters who actually do want the President to actually be capable of doing things.
The Left understands that Biden is a front man, a guy who will sign the things that Pelosi and Schumer pass. But I still think there’s a decent number of American moderate voters who actually do think “Hey how come Trump got COVID and bounced right up and kept on Presidentin’ but Biden can’t come out of his basement?”
But we will see. If Joe Biden wins the election despite his platform and his video outbursts demonstrating his obvious mental decline because hes got the media persona of a nice and moderate Democrat, then that kind of says where we are as a country, doesn’t it?
How the mighty have fallen. *sigh*

Speaking of winter tires- I have these on all four corners of the Honda. I am quite pleased with them. Very good on slick hardpack. I just leave them on year round, and they are a fantastic rain tire and quite grippy on dry pavement.
I got cheap ones. riken snowtime
I run the BFGoodrich KO2 on my truck and they have worked very well.
I have all season Michelin tires with only 5k miles on them, but I’ve never driven my SUV in the snow or ice yet. But I guess I will this winter when the vid single handedly makes global warming worse, which means a cold snowy winter to punish the covid non-bleevers.
I’ve never had separate winter tires, and the biggest car, except the minivan I drove for a bit between cars, I’ve ever had is the malibu sedan I drive now, and I never had a problem in Wisconsin winters unless I parked on snow that packed into ice while it sat.
Snow tires and summer roads in the northeast make for squirmy tires.
Nothing unsafe, but they aren’t fun to drive on and you notice the reduced grip.
“It was a wonderful birthday present for Hillary Clinton to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court Monday night on her birthday,” McConnell told supporters on Wednesday during a campaign stop in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, according to the New York Post. “Oh, I’m sure she was so grateful, so grateful.”

“As the fifth largest and fastest growing city in the nation, the installation of two pedestrian scrambles downtown is just one example of how Phoenix is constantly improving our infrastructure through innovation and data,” said Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego.
Nashville has them too.
For the vast majority of these variants, our estimate of the average treatment effect across the eighteen events implies that they increased subsequent confirmed cases of COVID-19 by more than 250 per 100,000 residents. Extrapolating this figure to the entire sample, we conclude that these eighteen rallies ultimately resulted in more than 30,000 incremental confirmed cases of COVID-19. Applying county-specific post-event death rates, we conclude that the rallies likely led to more than 700 deaths (not necessarily among attendees).
Why do I smell bullshit?
Last week, Cuomo said the coronavirus outbreaks sweeping the United States ahead of the holiday season have grown so severe that even neighboring states Connecticut and New Jersey, which were able to suppress the virus after spring peaks, were reporting spikes that would land them on the list. In recent weeks, New York has been responding to its own increase in coronavirus cases in “red zones” that have reported higher positivity rates.
Connecticut and New Jersey? Aren’t they states that have mask mandates and lots of restrictions? How is this possible that their cases are spiking?
Calling Joe Biden his “brother,” Barack Obama on Saturday accused Donald Trump of failing to take the coronavirus pandemic and the presidency seriously as Democrats leaned on America’s first Black president to energize Black voters in battleground Michigan on the final weekend of the 2020 campaign.

If trick-or-treating worked like capitalism:

And they all lived happily ever after.

Then kommie kid comes along and calls him a racist, and convinces all of his friends, teachers, and parents to do it too, until kapitalist kid is kicked out of school and no one will ever hire him.
