We’re going to enjoy our last few weeks of being able to go anywhere or do anything before the fucking politicians weld us inside our house.
Fun Thing #1
Tomorrow we are taking delivery of a brand new gas range! Woohoo! We’ve been putting up with an old-style coil burner electric range since we moved into this house. The cooktop is exactly as bad as you’d imagine, and the oven is a thousand times worse, especially for a baker like me.
The new range is very similar to one we loved in a previous home (of which there have been many since we’ve been together). This range has a continuous cooktop surface, the large oval center burner perfect for our cast iron griddle, burners sized with different BTU capabilities which is fabulous for canning or long-simmering, AND…double ovens, one of which is convection! I can’t wait to bake something tomorrow afternoon!!! We’ll be taking this one with us when we move to Montana (or Wyoming) in the next few years.
Fun Thing #2
We have reservations at our very favorite restaurant in the Phoenix area for Saturday night. We haven’t been since they started locking everything down back in March. The way things are looking, this might be the last time for a while.
Fun Thing #3
We are having a visiting out of town Glib over for dinner next Friday night! I just hope the Wonder Dog doesn’t leave her hair all over the guest. HAHAHAHAHA! She surely will. You’ve been warned, Visiting Glib!
Fun Thing #4
Then, as if this weren’t enough excitement to get us through to Thanksgiving, we’ve been invited to dine with some friends the next evening. These friends also have a Great Pyr, though he’s just a pup. We suspect the real reason they invited us this time, however, is that OMWC was telling the husband (also a chemist) about our fun experiments with spherification and reverse spherification. Yes, spherified cocktails, coming right up!
Whew! What a whirlwind of fun!
What? You didn’t come here to listen to the details of my personal life? You want links instead?
Well, OK, if you insist. But I’ll be hard-pressed to find anything half as exciting as my life.
- Damnit. “The MFO is tasked with overseeing the implementation of security provisions outlined in the 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty.” Implementation of something from 41 years ago?
- This one is for OMWC, who would love to own that if he knew it existed.
- Why aren’t any GLIBS getting in on this sweet, sweet “No shit, Sherlock” study money?
- From the I Guess It’s OK If a Half-Black Guy Says It Department. He added, “For millions of Americans spooked by a Black man in the White House, he promised an elixir for their racial anxiety.”
- Stay safe, Brett and the rest of you Florida Glibs.
- This is my shocked face.
Man, way to harsh my own mellow. I’m going to go take a walk with Wonder Dog and try to get back to my happy-go-lucky outlook!
Hope the rest of you have a terrific day!
(Don’t forget to send in your Thanksgiving recipes: sp @ this website.)
What if I told you that there was a conspiracy to keep me from Firsting? What if I said that this conspiracy, it went all the way to the very top? To higher echelons of TPTB than the ones who rigged our election? Would you take the red pill or the blue pill?
I am a man; it is the woman’s job to take the pill! I handle my birth control the old fashioned way, by saying things like this which guarantee I will not have to worry about it.
Like, “don’t worry, babe. I’m sure your period will be here soon” ???
No, more like saying, “Hey want to come back to my place and argue about whether Calvinism enhanced, or retarded, the developments that led to the enlightenment.” I was being self deprecating.
Yeah, that’ll work.
He’s describing abstinence. Clearly his method wouldn’t work on you.
You should just concede.
While not ranking high among the Obama’s list of crimes, perversions and general dick-shittery, the amount that they would race bait, being the most powerful family in the world, was and remains incredibly annoying to me personally. The gal of Michelle to then, at her DNC speach, pretend like she was reaching out to people who were upset about people using “White Privilege” as a crudule to hurt the poor-non-black, topped it off.
Kindly fuck off Obama.
Congratulations on being first.
Thanks! I don’t do it for the recognition, but it does feel good.
It’s at the top for me.
That behavior fostered an almost uncrossable political divide in America. Obama played into it, hard, while pretending to be above it all.
And the result is SP’s last link. Proud Marxists claiming to represent “their race”. We’re going to be years if not decades overcoming this shit.
We could cut that crap short if most people weren’t PC whipped into fetal position every time some race monger talks about white privilege or racism.
“spooked by a Black man”
So … no on the phrasing?
LOL. Rookie mistake. In politics, you make sure payment comes first, or you just got swindled.
They paid upfront, through ActBlue.
The frontline revolutionaries tend to draw their wages in lead. BLM and Antifa should be careful what they ask for.
And you don’t do it publicly. You go behind closed doors and get something in return for hiring the principal’s family members or donate to a charity that provides a salary/speaking fees to the principal or principal’s family.
You do it publicly when it’s a threat.
From the BLM article: “We want something for our vote”
Isn’t that, like, everybody that votes? If we participate in the process, we all want something.
Me, I want cake.
They all want Cake.
Fine, here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7aDstrDMf0
Excellent!

They laugh, they make money
Fashion Nugget is one of my favorite albums. That’s another gem.
Another good one. Large, Fuzzy Dice
They still hang proudly
I thought we all wanted to be left alone.
Not that we ever seem to get to vote for that (or get it).
Also wants to be left alone
While they’ve (somewhat) improved on this in recent years, I love classic movies’ phone convos, where – based on the pace of the person you hear – if you could hear the person on the other end of line they would be talking about like this guy.
Okay, I leave you.. Alone.

Ahem. Ichthyosaur != dinosaur.
Contemporaneous to dinosaurs, but not dinosaurs themselves, I believe.
This one is for OMWC, who would love to own that if he knew it existed.
Some shit lasts forever.
Fuck you Barry. Never once, not a single fucking time, did you raise a finger or open your mouth to object to the characterization of any and all political disagreements by the Republicans with your agenda as fundamentally racist in nature. The media harped on the racist Republican angle for the entirety of your tenure and you said nothing while your bitch wife actively encouraged it.
That is why Trump got elected, that and because the establishment GOP just sat back and took that criticism because they were too chickenshit to call you out on it.
When Obama was elected I hoped that it would end the notion that criticism of a black politician is racist, because all presidents get criticized. Boy, was I wrong.
Up until Obama was elected, I never once disagreed with any politician because we were all white, so it was all good. Then along came Obama and suddenly I had get some political opinions to disguise my racism.
I never particular cared for NPR, but I learned to hate them during Obama’s reign. Particularly Diane Rehm, who never failed to express her astonishment at how racist the Republicans were because they opposed Obama’s political objectives.
I have 2 daughters that are adopted that are both black. I didn’t vote for Obama but was hopeful he would be a good president and appreciated what it meant for my daughters to see him in the White House. Unfortunately I think he did much to worsen national race relations.
Let me be clear (to borrow Barry’s favorite phrase), my objections to Obama and his wife have absolutely nothing to do with his skin color. They are completely based on their politics, lies, and loathsome moral compasses. I am sorely disappointed that the first black President was a condescending, disingenuous ass, because it was an incredible opportunity for improvements in race relations that was wholly squandered.
My thoughts exactly.
The condescending, pseudo-intellectual mannequin which everyone dressed in their own vague, unimaginative projections of “hope” and “change”, not realizing how easily they were being bamboozled into buying the cynical narrative that would begin prying apart the country along so many lines. The lying, underachieving, smooth-talker; a perfect conduit for his speechwriters’ Goebbelsian spin on the cynical progressive agenda.
Nice
He was truly the master of saying nothing. It was pretty much a caricature of a politician, and watching the media fawn over him like he was the greatest orator of all time drove me toward madness.
My favorite among all of them was his first State of the Union address. In it, he said that the budget required us to take action. Like all families, when we don’t take in as much as we need we need to tighten our belt, but at the same time, we need to invest in the future.
In one sentence he implied that he was going to both cut spending and increase spending. And nobody said a word. I was flabbergasted.
The dude was in the national spotlight for 12 years, and the only tough question he ever got asked was asked by a plumber in a walk-up on the street.
He was truly the master of saying nothing.
C’mon man, banal platitudes about togetherness and wanting good things that are not bad things says it all.
I thought the question about what enchanted him the most was pretty tough.
The press vetted that plumber more than him.
To be fair, anyone who followed Bush was bound to sound like a great orator. Also, did Hillary sign over the rights to the birther movement to Trump or something? I thought she started that shit.
Trump won those rights fair and square along with the Presidency.
Fear Of Covid-19 Might Make Cancer Survivors Less Likely To Enroll In Clinical Trials
And not get checked for relapse.
First thing we do, let’s kill all the epidemiological computer modellers
A computer model using cellphone data to map the places people frequent every day in large cities may indicate that most COVID-19 infections occur at “superspreader” sites such as full-service restaurants, gyms and cafes.
The report, published Tuesday in the journal Nature, examined the data of 98 million Americans collected at 10 large U.S. cities, including San Francisco, for two months beginning in March. The data was then fed into an epidemiological model developed by a Stanford University-led team.
Jure Leskovec, the Stanford computer scientist who led the study, told Stanford News that the model analyzed how people of different demographic backgrounds and neighborhoods visited establishments that are more or less crowded.
“Based on all of this, we could predict the likelihood of new infections occurring at any given place or time,” he said.
——-
Various scenarios simulated by the model, including reopening some businesses but not others, showed that opening restaurants at full capacity resulted in the largest increase in infections. Gyms were second, followed by cafes and hotels/motels. According to one scenario, if capacity was limited to 20% at all venues, new infections would be reduced by more than 80%.
Based on how far your brain splatters when we drop you out of this helicopter, I can predict interest rates on the moon.
A computer model using cellphone data to map the places people frequent every day in large cities may indicate that most COVID-19 infections occur at “superspreader” sites such as full-service restaurants, gyms and cafes.
Then again, it might not.
We must do something! This is something!
Apropos
Also apropos
I think that would work better on a Q link.
Infectious Disease Expert: Superspreading Happens at Places We Don’t Give a Shit About and Events We Actively Despise
Yes its definitely cafes and totally not tens of thousands of folks in the streets, shoulder-to-shoulder , screaming for hours.
We should take a poll to find out how many people support the computer models.
Local news had a helpful piece to help you chose the most effective masks. Based entirely on “computer models”…
I know how to use a computer and I like playing with clay. I need to get in on this “computer modeling” cash cow.
I use a PC, a camera, and a gaggle of underfed, smack addicted, eastern european hotties (they would be hot if you fed em) in my flavor of “computer modeling”.
Don’t worry, I ran a model of such a poll and it came back showing that people overwhelmingly support my models.
No time to RTFA, but does it say how they obtained the data of 98 million Americans? I’m guessing something like Facebook location settings.
But who knows. I guess the gov might be giving it to “scientists” who align with their goals.
/adjusting tin foil cloche
A new gas range? Why do you hate the planet? Thankfully San Francisco has voted to ban gas in new construction. That’s sure to make housing more affordable.
Because CO2 and water are both greenhouse gases. It’s a good thing that electrical power comes out of holes in the walls.
/gas cooking is non-negotiable for me
I had an electric range one year in my life. Holy hell, I sympathize with SP. What a POS.
I had (possibly still to have; still in the process of moving) a fairly decent electric range. It’s only fairly decent in comparison with every other electric range I’ve ever used. It’s still far short of cooking on gas, but I can live with it. There’s no gas in this part of the world unless you go get a bottle of propane and propane accessories.
And there’s no Hank Hill in that part of the world, so…
Old school flat coil sorts of electric ranges I will agree are absolutely atrocious
Not all electric ranges are created equal though. We have a glass top range with the smaller coils that rapidly heat up and I’ve been more than satisfied with it.
Controlling the heat is no problem and it cleans up real easy.
Only real problem I have with it is your cookware needs to have perfectly flat bottoms
An odd thing about where I live is that everyone in town has natural gas in their homes, but they all use electric ranges.
That is odd.
My parents new house has natural gas and gigabit internet. I’m not jealous though…
“Florida Parents expire in mysterious suffocation/internet accident. Florida Son Inconsolable.”

Lol
“A search of their recent Netflix history showed they had worked their way through through the entire filmographies of David Carradine and Robin Williams within in the last week.”
Ok, so, I didn’t look any of the terms up, but I switched from suffocation to asphyxiation because I thought suffocating involved an external object (pillow/hand/belt etc), while asphyxiation just involved the inability to obtain oxygen, from atmospheric displacement or physiological problems.
Point is, I was implying he murdered his parents using a devious combination of the natgas and gigabit internet he so envied. So they would have had to watch something that convinced them to sleep in the basement or something like that…natgas is heavier than air, right? Bomb shelter shows, something like that.
I get it; I was just riffing. The implication being that it wasn’t *they* that ran that particular Netflix marathon, necessarily.
Cuomo Develops Vaccine That Makes People Immune To Trump’s Vaccine
Twitter Fact-Checks Harry Potter’s Claim That Voldemort Has Returned
The fun things look good.
The Covid-19 pandemic has halted or delayed scientific research to a great extent. In the United States, it has also resulted in a drastic decrease in enrollment in National Cancer Institute-sponsored cancer clinical trials, particularly in areas most affected by Covid-19.
Many cancer clinical trials’ sites have temporarily paused enrollment because of several restrictions enforced by institutions to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Yet, it remains unclear if cancer survivors would be willing to participate in clinical research as they did before the outbreak of the virus — particularly when Covid-19 transmission is taking place among communities.
Fuck the fear mongers.
Obama writes that Trump used the “birther” conspiracy theory — which falsely claimed that the first Black president was born in Kenya and therefore not a natural born US citizen and ineligible for the presidency — to offer millions of white Americans an “elixir for their racial anxiety.”
Obama, Go fuck yourself.
Funny that the original person who falsely claimed that he was born in Kenya was Obama himself.
Hillary was second in.
But it was Trump who came along much later who did the real damage…..
Because then it was a WHITE. MAN. saying it. Anything he says is racist.

A Stay-at-Home Advisory for Chicago will go into effect on Monday, November 16th at 6:00am.
This advisory calls on all Chicagoans to do the following:
– Stay home unless for essential reasons
– Stop having guests over—including family members you do not live with
– Avoid non-essential travel
– Cancel traditional Thanksgiving plans
This ought to be ignored.
There goes hockey practice. /sad trombone
The thing that really is starting to get to me is how all this is now becoming a tautological loop of derp:
“You claim that this isn’t the DEDLYEST VYRUS EVAH and we shouldn’t have been locked down, but how do you explain the need for more lockdowns now, hmmm…?”
But what about the Biden celebrations and BLM protests? Essential, I suppose?
including family members you do not live with
The ones you live with aren’t any safer. Kick those fuckers out if you want to live.
“Get bent” is the only response I have for these power hungry leeches.
No time to RTFA, but does it say how they obtained the data of 98 million Americans? I’m guessing something like Facebook location settings.
“Anonymized” (wink wink, nudge nudge) cellphone location data.
lol, like those “anonymous” surveys in the corporate world looking for unbiased feedback.
You know, the ones that have you list your demographics, office location, number of people on your team, and how long you’ve been with the company.
reverse spherification is just crushing them?
Yes, but you do it barefoot.
OMWC and SP actually invert the sphere through the 4th dimension and create a Klein bottle that eats you.
. . . a Klein bottle that eats you.
Can I at least tell it where to start?
it’s a Kevin Klein bottle, so no, it just eats you whole, one gulp.
I . . . didn’t know he had that reputation with the ladies.
A proper Klein bottle eats everything.
MIL COVID Update (please let me know if this is getting annoying)
MIL is telling us she’s feeling well and things are going fine. SIL says things are not going fine. It seems the hospital staff is trying to minimize time in the room and isn’t telling MIL anything about her condition. They are still fighting to keep her oxygen levels from falling when she exerts herself. They stopped Remdesivir early because it was causing liver issues. However her heart and kidneys look good.
I have known a few people who got COVID and recovered quickly. This is the first time I’ve known anyone with severe complications so it’s been a learning experience.
Sorry. I hope she pulls through.
Good luck to your MIL with all of this, TOK. Everyone here (at least I suppose) understand that the ‘VID isn’t anything to scoff at or be messed with. For me, I am just sick of the panic mongering that has been constantly present. Our Gov is ramping up the fear and need to “do something,” and he can go pound sand.
I wouldn’t want my MIL to catch it, as she is immunocompromised, so I hope that you MIL recovers quickly.
I said back around the beginning of March on another forum that perhaps this coronavirus is worse than the flu, AND perhaps we shouldn’t be panicking anyway. One of the panic-mongers responded that Italy didn’t panic, and look where it got them.
I’m pretty sure the response from Italy is the epitome of panic. Not that the panic-mongers will relent on that. I think it is safe to say that it is worse than the flu if you have comorbidities and make Fourscore look like a young buck.

Pretty much. ?♂️ It only happens when I have Monocle running, for some reason. It’ll probably happen with this response too…

Thanks. My original thoughts about COVID are being reinforced. Mainly, that it’s very dangerous to older and sicker people, but not very dangerous to anyone who is young and relatively healthy. That we keep wasting efforts on locking down everyone, and not concentrating everything we have on the people who are really at risk, is frustrating to say the least.
Exactly this.
Sorry to hear that.
Not annoying at all. I hope and pray MIL pulls through just fine.
Sorry, hope she gets well soon.
Good luck, bud.
Sorry, dude.
Have they tried any other therapies besides the Remdesivir?
Man, way to harsh my own mellow. I’m going to go take a walk with Wonder Dog and try to get back to my happy-go-lucky outlook!
Ya. I have been away from the news for a week and I see it still sucks. That pic of Wonder Dog made me smile though. That is a happy dog.
Wonder Dog is a GOOD DOG!
I didn’t think Hasbro made the Easy-Bake Oven in a gas model — OMWC must be deferring those van repairs….
FML. I think my last cable company is trying to screw me until I give up.
Mailed in my modem/router when I canceled my service in May. Confirmed receipt.
3 months later – August, I get billed for it.
Call up and talk to someone who tells me I can either dispute with my bank or wait 60 days for a check. Decide to wait (bad decision in retrospect).
60 days later – no sign of refund. Call up again. They say they’re processing it – at the time it still showed as a credit to my account which was useless.
11/2 – no sign of refund. Call up again (it still shows as an autocredit in my account per the automated answering service). I’m told that it will be expedited for processing on 11/3 or 11/4.
11/12 – no sign of refund. Call up again – someone says it looks like the last person forwarded it to their manager where it got stuck.
Guess I’ll wait till next Friday to try again. Not sure what the normal process is for asking to talk to someone’s manager or if there’s any other way to fix this. BBB complaint? It’s more than $100 and less than $125.
Drive to the location. Bring a baseball bat.
“You don’t take the law into your own hands — you take them to court. The People’s Court!”
Personally, I hate dealing with pencil pushers over crap like this enough that as long as they didn’t charge me *again*, I’d write it off as not worth the time and stress to keep screwing around with it.
Yeah, yeah — companies love saps like me, I know. But I get enough crap with my day job to worry about. ;P
I’ve seen the UPS guy at the customer counter advise people to hold on to their receipt when mailing cable boxes etc. back. Apparently it’s a known scam to pretend not to have received them.

Those are shitbirds. Repubs are the fucking turkeys.
We have a group of about 20 roaming our neighborhood. Someone needs to start hunting them.
A Biden COVID-19 advisor called for a national lockdown lasting up to 6 weeks. The US had a ‘big pool of money’ to pay for any lost wages, he said.
“We could pay for a package right now to cover all of the wages, lost wages for individual workers, for losses to small companies, to medium-sized companies or city, state, county governments,” he said. “We could do all of that. If we did that, then we could lock down for four to six weeks.”
Well we’re screwed if this guy takes office.
And then drugs fell out of his ass.
I’m not broke — I still haven’t hit my credit card limit / still have checks in the book!

This is the economic equivent of Bugs Bunny pulling himself out of a hole in the ground by his own ears.
Nice.
Agreed, and I am stealing that.
I posited this question earlier today and will do so again with slightly changed parameters.
At what point does Biden/the DoJ (totally above board and not motivated by Biden) start indicting Trump and/or other cabinet level officials (e.g AG Barr) once he takes power?
A. first 100 days
b. By Midterms
c. After Midterms
d. Never
I think it happens in A or B. And i don’t think “d” is a possiblity. Trump et.al are different animals than the establishment is used to playing with and they want to make sure that it ends with him.
D. Never. Only if Trump starts dumping intel on Hildog does he have anything to worry about.
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if The Donald went all Snowden?
I mean, like sneaking shit out of the White House hidden under The Hat and calling up Glenn Greenwald? Let The Hair do the Deep Throat routine?
B. They’ll want to do it in the first 100 days, but Biden might struggle to get a few Cabinet level appointments approved, so they be occupied with that as a first priority.
they want to make sure that it ends with him
Yes. This can never happen again. We’re all in the Matrix. Or is it Brazil?
He had 70 million people vote for him. If they imprison him in the first 100 days I see a red tide in the midterms. Then hopefully a Biden impeachment. Actually. I hope they put Trump in prison. Sets the precedent that presidents aren’t above the law and removes Joe. Maximum lulz.
What does the voting matter? If they can change/delete/add votes at will, there will be no red tide. 2018 was a warmup, 2020 is a test run in selected cities, 2022 will be the Superbowl. Driving around in caravans and attending speeches will mean nothing. We will have to fully engage in the process. I predict that if we do, there will be extensive state sponsored violence to discourage it. I’m betting that those two fecal stains on humanity have been told outright they are not in charge.
I don’t know that it’s possible to cover up national fraud. Cheating in a few large cities is very different than cheating in 50 states.
I’m going with d. Mostly because while Trump is a swamp outsider, he’s also a deal-maker. There will be a deal of some sort made with him, and he’ll negotiate but end up agreeing to something that avoids anything more than verbal nastiness.
D. With the caveat that that is only regarding the DOJ, I can see some states going after him tooth and claw for shit unrelated to his presidency.
Your probably right.
But I wouldn’t be shocked if an obstructing if Justice charge is explored
Yep, the DoJ probably won’t sully their hands. But there’s a number of state AGs champing at the bit.
NY probably had the paperwork ready six months ago. I give it 5 minutes after inauguration.
NY wasn’t already pursuing legal action from before the presidency, along with new legal action since his election, as well as already filing the stuff you mentioned ahead of time?
You can count on it.
I just love when I put on movies from 30yrs ago and people are like “…Trump?! Ugh…” Kevin McAllister passing Trump in his hotel. The 911 Operator in Die Hard 3 remarking about marrying Trump.
Each reference is just that much richer now.
He was one of the few people outside of the pigeon lady who actually helped Kevin.
e. New York goes after him to provide the feds with cover and I give it a couple of weeks.
Only if he starts being inconvenient.
I’m not sure it will happen at all but if it does…
B. By the midterms Trump will be barnstorming a bunch of races team blue will inevitably be defending. Can’t have this guy rallying the base.
Biden will, in the spirit of unity and healing, grant Trump a blanket pardon for all of the various federal crimes he committed while President, thus negating the need for any investigations which might disprove that Trump is, in fact, guilty of those crimes.
State AGs (especially NY) will hound him for the rest of his life with whatever petty bullshit they can come up with.
I bet my wife $20 that he would be kicked off Twitter and indicted (probably by NY) by tax day

Just wait 4 hours, then call a doctor.
“Everything” as in the actual web pages, or as in the UI? If the latter, then prolly something in settings, whether the browser or OS. If the former, than CTRL+0 (zero) usually resets the view to default zoom. Or as Trolleric mentioned, CTRL+ScrollWheel
Definitely the web pages. Not sure about the rest of the UI (title bar and such)

According to Facebook, there is no evidence of election fraud. And according to Samantha Bee, Trump lost and he should make a concession speech.
So I guess that’s settled.
How does Samantha Bee have any voice in anything? She is about the most screechy, annoying, unfunny person on TV today. I largely avoid TBS anymore because her commercials are like nails on a chalkboard to me.
#metoo
It’s almost but not quite as bad as all the Daily Show commercials on Comedy Central from that sanctimonious prick whatever his name is.
Canadians need to stop interfering in our elections.
That unfunny shrill harpy bitch still has a show or is she twatting?
Her ratings keep dropping, but they keep giving her awards.
I accidentally left daytime tv on once and she is painful. I’m not even a Republican and my balls retreated into my body after 6 seconds.
I agree that there is a 0% chance Trump stays, but disagree with the concession. Fight it out every step of the way.
And Samantha Bee fucking sucks. Not nearly as funny as her brother Babylon.
Legit lol.
Legit lol.
I don’t understand why there are so many smarmy foreigners with political TV shows: Oliver, Bee, Noah. It can’t be because being a smarmy asshole is a job Americans won’t do. Just look at Colbert. I don’t get it.
Huh, I didn’t know Bee was Canadian. You’d think she’d want to go back, what with Dreamy McCastropants being in charge.
Why would she do that when she can act smug in front of a much larger audience down here and for a much larger paycheck?
Colbert isn’t British?
From one of the Carolinas, I believe.
Wasn’t his sister in the legislature for South Carolina? I think that was it.
Wasn’t his sister in the legislature for South Carolina? I think that was it.
Not sure, to be honest.
From Wikipedia, apparently she ran for a district in SC, but lost to Mark Sanford. Also, this: [Elizabeth] Colbert Busch supported background checks as part of a gun control bill that was defeated by the U.S. Senate.
Surprise surprise there, that a leftist shill’s sister is a leftist shill.
Sad thing is, I also liked the early Colbert Report when all he did was parrot Bill O’Reilly and mess with congress critters…then like far too many comics, he began to take himself seriously and started acting like a douchebag.
He started out fine and then immediately began sniffing his own farts.
Late night shows appear to have died with Leno’s retirement.
I liked his GM Mr. Goodwrench commercials.
He’s French obviously.
No, but he pronounces his last name as if it were French, like that other douchebag Don Lemon (pro-tip: French for “lemon” is citron, asshole…).
Sideshow Bob: “It doesn’t say ‘Die Bart, Die.’ It’s German for ‘The Bart, The.'”
WHOOOOOOOOSH Y’all.
My sister is a huge Colbert fan. She was showing me videos of him way before he became famouns. She thought he was hilarious;; I just wanted to punch him.
I liked him in Stranger With Candy.
I never watched that show, but did hear good things about it. Didn’t realize he was in it.
I think he played the principlal…and it will really smoke your salmon to know he was the voice for Wilford Brimley’s famous speech about retards and cake.
The black guy was the principal, Principal Blackman.
Colbert was just one of the teachers. History i think, I dunno, Generic Academics maybe. His boyfriend, Mr. Jellyneck was the Art Teacher.
Ah, now I remember. Been awhile since I’ve watched that show. Thanks.
Came out 20yrs ago…god.
Fun fact: nobody has to concede anything. The election ends when Congress counts the electoral votes and announces the winner. Whether Trump concedes or not is irrelevant; if Biden gets 270 or more votes, Trump has lost. The concession is a pleasant formality not required by law or the Constitution.
But you’ll upset Norm!
Try pointing that out to people other than here. They don’t think that. They think one has to concede. Its convention! Its what all the other candidates do! Breaking norms!
I pointed out to a group of people about the whole “Trump is firing the SecDef so he can attempt a coup” rational. Reminded them that if the electoral votes are <=270 for Biden, then come January 20, 2021, Trump has no authority. Even tied to the Resolute Desk, he is just a normal citizen, that holds no office. The whole "he isn't going to leave office!" that the Right did with Obama and now the Left is doing with Trump is all just partisan rhetoric.
That is when I learned that this particular group believes Trump will have a force behind him and instigate a military coup.
And before the Right did it with Obama, the Left did it with Bush. That’s what makes it easy to disregard their fears.
I also think they really, really want to watch him concede. There’s a perverse gratification they get out of it. So, coup fantasies aside, it’s mostly just about domination.
Hey Western…hows the no smoking going?
Almost picked up a crushed butt I saw on the shop floor from when I was working on the pos weeks and weeks ago but I refrained. I remain cig free as of the typing of this comment.
Awesome brother! Glad to hear that.
Was that a thicc butt?
Baby got hack.
I never got the “birther” thing. Even if the asshole was born in Nigeria his mom was an American thus making him a “natural born citizen”. Funny how they never went with that defense.
That was stupid. Then I saw the media cling to an equally dumb hoax that Trump said white supremacists were good people. This went on for years.
Why give a guy who was colluding with the Russians the benefit of the doubt though?
WELL AKSHUALLY
There are residency requirements. Here are the current rules which may differ from those in effect in the 1960s. And HI got statehood about 2 years before Obama was born, which added fuel to the fire.
Obama’s mother didn’t satisfy the residency requirement for transmitting the US citizenship at birth to her child born abroad because she was too young: only 18 yo.
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/us-citizenship/Acquisition-US-Citizenship-Child-Born-Abroad.html
the media assures me this is a hoax.
Well, you could also argue that he was born out of wedlock since Obama Sr. was already married when he married Dunham, which is illegal in all 50 U.S. states, in which case only the 1-year residency requirement applied.
But, of course, BHO wasn’t born abroad so none of this matters, except as “interesting” counterfactuals.
If Obama had been born abroad, his eligibility and even citizenship would have been a complete legal shitshow that even the MSM would have been unable to cover up. Too bad there’s no evidence whatsoever that he was born anywhere but in Honolulu.
At this point, I don’t think there’s anything the MSM can’t cover up, ignore, or effectively deflect from.
If I’m remembering my Birtherism correctly there was some questions about how long his mom had been living outside the states, and also a lot of Jus sanguinis vs jus soli discussion and how the founders were following English Common Law which followed the father’s blood line, also the earth is the center of the universe and it’s only 6000 years old.
*4134 years since God signed off on the job and flipped the switch. 4135 years since completion of all major works pending inspection. 4132 years since Adam and Eve rode off into arid exile on the back of their late model brontosaurus, cursed to be forever more on the unhappy side of the Eden border wall. Rule of law!
Blah blah blah………did the IRS still lay claim to a percentage of any money she may have made abroad? If so, then said person is an American. And the earth is flat. I saw a you tube video.
Did anyone ever ask to see passport control records or, not being computerized, they no longer existed by 2008? If someone had turned up a
“Mrs. Obama and baby” arrival record from, say 1964, the legal shit would have really hit the fan.
Hiya SP!
We have the range with the double ovens as well.
Life changing. Really.
I think I’m just gonna focus on the happy stuff in your post, like the range and the doggies!
Speaking of doggies, our newest pack member is setting in nicely. She’s just so damn cute!
Enjoy your happy upcoming events. Our best friends are in town, so we will be seeing them this weekend. Walz can kiss my ass. I need my people!
Cute doggies.
I like the dogs.
Enjoy the time with your friends!
DOGZ ROOL!
Still so happy you found her. That is a pup that is content with he new living arrangements.
She is really a sweetheart. And so affectionate that she has shamed my sheepdog into being less of an aloof asshole! I walked in tonight and he beat her to the door! Usually he just lifts his head for a second and resumes full relaxation position.
I see your dogs love the Natuzzis too.
That stuff is so old! Beat to hell, but still, it’s really nice. I keep saying I’ll replace it when the kids and dogs are gone, but the dogs just keep showing up!
We laugh because back many years ago, as we were getting our first dog as a married couple, we were gonna be hardasses about the dogs on the furniture.
I’ll bet we didn’t last a week!
Is the new range a GE or something more pricey? We had a GE gas range with a nice continous cooktop and double oven and loved it! When we designed our major kitchen reno, we went with a 36″ GE Cafe cooktop and the GE cafe electric double oven with convection /quartz microwave on top. Can’t wait to start cooking in that kitchen!
LG.
I used to work for the company that owns Wolf and several other pro brands and the fuckers wouldn’t give me an employee discount.
We looked at Wolf and the other high end brands but really couldn’t justify the cost for the benefit. We already have a huge investment in the renovation. Honestly, I love cooking but I can’t see putting $70k into appliances. Not enough marginal improvement, I wager.
Double oven – 36 or 48 inches?
Mrs. Dean used to work for Wolf. She’s not crazy about their quality (same with Sub-Zero), or at least doesn’t think its worth the premium.
We’re rocking a Dacor cooktop, on account of a Dacor being best range we ever had, by a mile. Left it behind on a move. I swear it was carved out of a chunk of solid stainless steel. The gas/quartz broiler was frighteningly hot. Drawing a blank on the wall oven; all I can think of is it has these cool french doors on it. I think it might be a Wolf, though – our guy gives us the contractor price without a markup. Which he can damn well afford to do, considering what we pay for labor.
I think 36- the space for the stove is limited and since we’re renting, we can’t knock out any cabinets to make more room.
For ultimate heat, we still have our wok stand and pizza oven.
Why? Can’t you get ultimate heat with a solar oven? Or just a piece of sidewalk in the sun?
Surprisingly, the sidewalk only gets to 450 or so. Enough to melt shoes, but you don’t get that nice char on the bottoms of pizza or the wok hei in stir-fried dishes.
We are doing a kitchen remodel and moving from electric to gas (finally!)
Kitchen Aid 36″ range
Kitchen Aid counter-depth fridge. My wife is a stickler for having the water dispense on the outside.
Sharp drawer microwave (NOTE: Sharp makes every drawer microwave for every other manufacturer — don’t spend the extra $$$ to have another logo on the front) Also, the Sharp has tilt-out controls so you needn’t bend down to see what buttons you are pressing
Kitchen AId dishwasher
Fridgidaire No-Name Range Hood. (I’m not spending and extra $500 to have a matching name on a hunk of metal above the range) It works the same exact way as all the others and has no badging on it at all.

““REPORT: DOMINION DELETED 2.7 MILLION TRUMP VOTES NATIONWIDE. DATA ANALYSIS FINDS 221,000 PENNSYLVANIA VOTES SWITCHED FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BIDEN. 941,000 TRUMP VOTES DELETED. STATES USING DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS SWITCHED 435,000 VOTES FROM TRUMP TO BIDEN.” ”
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1326926226888544256
Let’s say that’s true, the data analysis is correct, is that enough to go to court? Then if the court throws out PA, doesn’t Biden still win?
IF provable, I think that throws the whole election into disarray even more. I am guessing at this point the SCOTUS is going to step in and say move on.
Can you computer boffins explain how this could be proven? Would one have to recount all the paper ballots, using a new system or what? With secret ballots, you can’t pull a sample and go around asking voters “did you really vote for Trump or Biden because your vote was recorded for…………?”
If its the counting machines that did the fraud, then the physical count would be off. This scheme (as far as I understand what they’re saying happened) occurs purely after the physical ballot has been cast. The computer would adjust the counts on the fly, eliminating or switching the vote count for some received ballots.
Aren’t there still paper ballots somewhere? Can’t they count manually the paper ballots and compare with the machines’ count?
Basically that or forensically identify source code that shows where the ‘flipping’ happened and then replicate it by forcing a sample of say 1 million known ballots through it to see the outcome.
Good answer. So if one ran, say 1,000 sample ballots marked for Trump and 1,000 marked for Biden, and the machine spit out a count of 1,010 for Biden and 990 for Trump that would prove code was not giving accurate numbers?
I think that is the simple answer they are claiming – but I thought I read somewhere they were claiming weighted ballots based on a number of factors that were part of the “flip”. Or I dreamed that last night and making stuff up.
Also, based on what I’ve read, either election officials or outside hackers can change the numbers at several points.
Without any knowledge I could think of a possible way to siphon off #s that work in-line with past voting norms.
Dems typically get what? 85-100% of the vote of black people? So a dominon machine in a heavily black district will ensure 88% of the votes go to Dems. Regardless of the votes cast.
So Trump making inroads among blacks and thinks he can break the 20% mark of support, cannot in those areas where the machine is processing ballots and giving the preferred outcome of 88% ballots go to Biden. Knowing that no one is ever going to want to match physical ballots and/or receipts to actual vote tallies, it works.
How is that for tin-foil time.
It’s not quite that simple. It is worth reading the series on “fraction magic” at blackboxvoting.org to understand what may be being alleged.
For instance, it’s not necessarily in the “source code” of the voting machine, it’s in the central counting software, and it interfaces with an external database that weights individual ballots.
So…Office Space?
Yeah, pretty much that or Superman III
So they have networked voting machines talking to a central database, over the internet?
Who the fuck is that stupid?
I believe that was pointed out yesterday.
But really Superman III.
The database is external to the counting software, but probably resides on the same hardware. They claim it was developed to support some special elections in California that require weighted ballots by law, but that it is the default setting for all elections to allow fractional weighting of ballots, so that someone knowledgeable of this could inject weights into a race that isn’t supposed to have them.
I’m ok if it talks to a server just to report stuff but the machine itself needs to hold the data so it too can be audited.
Well that just makes you wonder…why would an election ever need to be weighed? Its either yes or no, or candidate A or B (nth).
I think (based just on a vague knowledge that this is a thing, so please do not take this as gospel) that in some western states you have weighted voting in some water rights/water commissioner votes.
Every single db transaction should have logging data with up addresses, timestamps, etc. The whole damn system would have to exist on a private firewalled network and very tightly controlled. The incentives to screw with a system like that are massive.
Oh, and the databases are based on Microsoft Access, and can be interacted with via VBA (at least could be in 2016, when the expose was written).
The United States.
Access? VB Script?
What
The
Fuck
I recommend watching the “fraction magic” video at blackboxvoting. It has horrible production values, is badly edited, and the sound is crap, but the information is interesting. Not complete, but interesting. I don’t know why they haven’t posted any new articles since 2016.
I know, it sounds implausible that people could be that dumb with data, but who knows?
When Government sets out to buy any large item, including computer equipment the process can take more than a decade, and the product being bought needs to be identified at the beginning of the process. Changing the order generally starts the process over. So even if the people buying on our behalf and the people selling to our representatives are competant and honest (they aren’t) there is no chance of ending up with anything remotely close to up to date and suited for the purpose.
“So they have networked voting machines talking to a central database, over the internet?
Who the fuck is that stupid?”
The government.
But it’s more stupid than that. There is an “official” and an “unofficial” database with no firewall.
“I’m ok if it talks to a server just to report stuff but the machine itself needs to hold the data so it too can be audited.”
Afaik, it doesn’t.
Effectively, my Gmail account is more secure than the US voting system.
“Effectively, my Gmail account is more secure than the US voting system.”
Yes, and way fewer people want to hack your email.
I’m not sure if I should be insulted or not.
Well, it’s not like you have trillions of other people’s money to throw around.
How do we know this whole thing wasn’t hacked by some defense contractor?
<—Drinking, and just typing.
I’m about 99% sure this is complete nonsense but I do at least hope it’s true.

You’d need details that are likely protected by NDA to make any serious examination and conclusions. Though, given all of this, some people may be reverse engineering those details anyway.
If the “BREAKING!” “HUGE!” headlines actually have weight behind them, apparently some Dominion engineers are speaking up? I don’t know. That seems like a rabbit hole that I would gladly go down if I could smoke some pot or eat some shrooms.
what headlines? i don’t even see conservative sites mentioning this one.
Guiliani is the one who spouted it I believe.
https://thebl.com/us-news/dominion-whistleblowers-have-come-forward-rudy-giuliani-says-they-have-evidence-of-voter-fraud.html
Disclaimer…I have no idea what thebl.com is.
Like I said, it could all just be bluster and shit throwing to see what sticks.
As I have pointed out before, proprietary, closed source software in election machines is the dumbest fucking thing ever.
Unless, of course, you are the deep state and want to swing elections.
Or give out contracts to your buddies or family members on the boards of such software companies.
Meh. The state government could and should apply rigorous testing and QA to any software it uses, whether it be closed source or open. The “million eyes” theory of open source never really panned out. It’s great for transparency’s sake and for helping people to find problems faster, but it’s no panacea.
I trust the “million eyes” over just about any government purchasing quality controls.
it’s not about finding problems though. The million eyes is so we can all watch for cheating.
I’m not discounting that open source is preferable, only that it doesn’t do all that much on its own. Software does what it’s told; it’s people that make the important judgment calls.
It would at least makes public the specifications that the software is built to, which would immediately cause every autiste in the country to provide commentary on how they could hack it.
The public has largely been kept away from how these systems work and therefore have misplaced trust in their reliability and security. We need to leverage 4chan.
In other countries, “color” revolutions were triggered by less explosive accusations. Why aren’t Trump supporters on the streets? Or it only happens when Soros pays for it?
Trump supporters are essential workers? I dunno man. Looks like he and/or supporters are ramping up large rallies (that the Big Tech are squashing promotion via online).
They have jobs to go to.
The Carnation (Portugal) and Velvet (Czechoslovakia) Revolutions worked out a lot better than many of the color revolutions, so apparently flowers and fabrics are better to rally around.
So no ORANGE Revolution?
I guess it’s the CLASSY REVOLUTION then.
We’re not quite miserable and impoverished enough yet. Give it another four years.
Still going to recount Ga, WI, and MI. All three are going be big fights and I wouldn’t be surprised if they all swing to Trump. What happened in Detroit isn’t going withstand any examination. That’s why they are so desperate for Trump to concede.
I would be. Very. None of them will.
And why the shutdowns are coming back around.
Georgia and Wisconsin were close and some sort of succesful ballot challenges against mail ins that were counted outside the rules combined with recounts could conceivably flip one or both. Pennsylvania is around a 50k vote difference and Trump needs a big swath of ballots thrown out. Michigan is a matter of 150,000 votes, unless Trump’s lawyers have very conclusive proof of fraud on a grand scale that is vanishingly unlikely to be reversed. Trump needs quite a lot of court intervention to win this and that means proof of fraud, not statistical analysis, or hypothetical capacities in the software. I’d love to see him pull it off, but I am expecting President Biden.
yes. this.
a recount is gonna net him like 15 votes. it isn’t gonna do shit.
Good chance all Detroit precincts get thrown out because their ballot counts will be way below vote counts.
I’ll have to see more details before I jump on that one.
“White Women’s Support for Trump Remains High in 2020 Election
White women have to answer for backing the Republican nominee yet again.
Exit polls conducted by Edison Research found that while a reported 57% of women overall voted for Joe Biden this year, 55% of white women voted for Trump — representing at least a two-point increase for this demographic since 2016.
I’ve always loved to collect my “I voted!” sticker following any election, presidential or otherwise. I’ve never taken my constitutional right to vote for granted, and as a white woman, there’s an inherent privilege in doing so. Depressingly enough, this is a privilege an apparent majority of white women seem to have wielded like a weapon for the second election in a row.”
https://www.teenvogue.com/story/white-women-support-trump
let’s make all the white women answer!!
So it was the white women, not the Libertarians , who swung the election. Everyone knows there aren’t any Libertarian women.
It’s almost like white women have white husbands, white fathers, white brothers and white sons whom they think shouldn’t be demonized.
Shirley, some of them are into the big black cock? Those ones absolutely shoulda voted for Biden, else they gotta return those dicks to the plantation.
as a white woman, there’s an inherent privilege in doing so
The level of sexism and racism in this statement is off the charts.
That’s all they know, all they traffic in.
Outside of identity politics, they don’t have two neurons to rub together.
Herpity derpity doo.
‘…as a white woman, there’s an inherent privilege in doing so’
That inherent right to vote that all white women throughout history and locale have always enjoyed…it’s inherent.
“Republican legislators request a full audit of the Michigan 2020 election”
https://www.theblaze.com/republican-legislators-request-a-full-audit-of-the-michigan-2020-election
excellent
Doesn’t mean it’s going to happen.
The Trump campaign won an enormous loophole in court today.
And if, as I believe has been reported, certain large counties neglected to segregate late ballots as ordered by the Supreme Court, what then?
Either:
(a) they count those ballots regardless because they aren’t segregated and the PA decision doesn’t prohibit it or
(b) they can’t count any ballots unless they can show that they weren’t subject to the orders to (i) segregate and (ii) not be counted.
The suspense is killing me.
yeah but that’s like a total of 50 votes.
oh nm. I see what you’re saying.
because they failed to segregate the votes, the court may order them all thrown out? seems unlikely but i can see them trying.
And even if all late votes were deducted from the totals, Biden wins that state easily.
Do we know how many late votes there were? Biden got a massive percentage of the votes that were counted after Election night in PA, if Trump gets anything lose to 100k thrown out that might be enough.
The late arrived votes are estimated to be around 10,000.
Even if you throw those out, Trump is not even sniffing a win in PA.
Republicans will have to make some sort of argument that more mail ins should be thrown out. And that is a very tough battle with very bad odds.
I think that is the crux of the argument is it not? Since mail-in ballots were sent out with bulk-mail, do they get postmarked? If they do, then the argument is nothing and you have your 10k ballots that can be tossed. If they are not, how do you distinguish or even determine they were late and not just delivered and dumped into a box of ‘to be counted’ pile?
But the margin is too small to matter. You must first show this and then segue into other legal arguments.
And if you succeed in that (and you won’t) then you only have two more states to go.
If they throw them all out, how would PA be able to assign electors?
