As the weekend winds to a close, and we get a preliminary detox before New Year’s, please remember all the stuff you’re not supposed to forget. Like, you know. Shit, did we really drink THAT much this year???
We don’t forget birthdays, though, and todays include the guy who gave Newton the clues; the guy whom Fauci styles himself as, but was the real deal; my favorite of the Warner Brothers players; Madeline Kahn’s spirit animal; my spirit animal; a sexy, sexy man; a guy who proved that ponderous and vacuous lyrics won’t hurt some great albums; a guy who proved that being a large, untalented, sloppy drunk is no impediment to a movie career; a pretty fucking excellent drummer; and a woman who proved that being vacuous and inarticulate is no impediment to a career in TV news.
So much for that. Now the annoying part.
I’m guessing he wasn’t a safety.
Just another way Florida wants to kill you.
Old Guy Music today is a three song set by… well, don’t let their name fool you, they came up with it well before 2016. And Billy Strings as a bonus. This is fucking great music.

Bacon is roasting, gonna make eggs and hashbrowns, sipping a mimosa and trying to figure out what meat to make for dinner. Should be a good Sunday.
Did Cornish hens for the fist time last night. Turned out pretty well.
Chili and eggs.
I prefer eggs and chili.
If I eat that many eggs, people around me start complaining.

Not that I would do this, but I gotta think if I was really trying to whack someone, I’d hurt them bad enough they wouldn’t be able to snap a picture of me as I walked away. Maybe something punchier than a .380, or even a machete. Also I’d not park directly in front of his house.
Ok, but she’s gotta say “Too beaucoup!” when I whip it out. Also, she is either lying about her age, or was a 17 year old nurse.
The best way I have for reading the ages of Asian women is their hands. I can usually guess within 3 to 5 years judging that way. Their faces and bodies often hold up too well to judge by those.
Ah, I observed that effect once but didn’t put 2 and 2 together. I remember thinking once “why does this ostensibly young and beautiful woman have hands which resemble the feet of a bird of prey?”
It’s a tough job, but some coomer’s gotta do it.

Everything for the state….
The puritanical bent is rather amusing given how many hookers there are in China.
20 bucks is 20 bucks, same as downtown. A girl’s gotta make a living, can’t all be making shirts for Walmart.
It’s almost as if people find a way to do and get what they want, even under a strict authoritarian govt.
We need to outlaw drugs and guns and other stuff, people don’t know what’s good for themselves. Fortunately prisons are available for the scofflaws.
It’s a tough job
Yeah I bet it is hard.
I guess I should have read the comments before making my comment on the same bit from the article.
The 5G paranoia is very strange indeed.
I don’t recall mass freakouts over 3G going to 4G or LTE.
Maybe the difference is that the public has now lost all faith in getting truth from government, journalists, and “experts.”
Once trust is gone, it’s a long road to getting it back, and sometimes it just can’t be done, like putting toothpaste back in the tube.

When you click on certain Trump tweets, Twitter makes you go through a landing page that has info like “voter fraud exceedingly rare, say experts”. I suspect millions of Trump supporters who see that are thinking “yeah, experts” while making a jerking off hand motion.
I hate that shit. It’s so transparent. Who the hell appointed Twitter and Facebook to be the arbiters of what’s true about Covid or the recent election? People are stupid, but they’re at least savvy enough to know that this particular technique is a con.
It’s so transparent.
Indeed. I have to think that the average person can identify a propaganda campaign.
Ron Bailey writes for Twitter now?
This should also cause some self-examination on the left about why normal people distrust academics, a position the left continuously and deliberately mischaracterizes as assaults on education and intellectuals. Not holding my breath.
I don’t think that’s how it works.
People trust people they identify with . . . with little evidence, without consistency, and in spite of principle.
It is well and good to point out crackpots in academia, but be sure that “normal people” are on the march and happily following other people who mis-characterize things all day, every day.
It would seem that overlooking mis-characterization is a chief ingredient in strong alignments both left and right.
OY!!! I can’t believe the AMOUNT of cognitive dissonance required to 9u34rsa?? Well, it’s on display front and center everywhere.
Nothing would please me more than a principled populace aligning thoughtfully and holding people accountable, but, as a wise man just wrote, Not holding my breath.
If there is anything I’ve learned from man-on-the-street interviews, it’s that 100 points as an average IQ might be an overestimate.
People can learn to think critically, but they can’t be made to try. Lead a horse to water etc.
I’ve led an ordinary life and have met thousands of ordinary people. A very small fraction of them are as dumb as the great majority of people in “man in the street” interviews.
The 5G stuff is truly weird. And yet, somehow it attracts adherents among normal people.
But then again, I used to tell people I was an RF and microwave engineer until I got tired of answering questions about kitchen appliances.

…and that’s just a sample…
I think the one point they have is that, when it comes to people who have ably demonstrated in the past that they would bury you in a shallow grave were it in their interest to do so, when they say “trust me,” you are under no obligation to do so.
That we’re quickly descending into a “low trust” society (a very, very bad thing) sure as hell ain’t the fault of the general populace.
Yep.
I don’t have time to do my own investigation of everything; no one does. So we have to trust others to do some investigating and sum it up for us.
But who then do we trust? Best we can do is read a variety of sources and make our own judgment.
Even people I know well and would trust with most things ( my brother, a trusted colleague) are wrong about some issues.
We must preserve independent media. But how? Most non-left media are actively right-leaning as compensation. Is there a reliably neutral/fair news source?

Our only salvation is to have the slowest phone service. Like in the good ol days with rotary phones. Cell towers already killed all the bees. Why do you hate the bees?
I see the media outlets are full-on blaming Trump for “denying” struggling Americans their stimulus checks.
Not even one sentence worth of speculation as to why people need a financial bailout.
Couldn’t be because Blue state governors, mayors, and bureaucrats actively worked to destroy the economy or anything.
And of course no mention of the massive, wasteful, pork larded into the bill.
Graft, not pork.
If I were a politician, I’d be pointing out that the $900B that was the alleged amount of the compromise comes out to a little over $2600 for every man, woman, and child in the US. The fact that the bill as presented only has a $600 credit is evidence that the politicians actively want the graft that makes up the rest of the bill, and keep hammering that point.
Of course, the Stupid Party wants the graft too, which is why they won’t do this.
Because there was noting else in that bill other than convid relief…
Because Congress would really like to neutralize COVID-19 so that they could restore our basic human freedoms to us.
Just thought I’d share with you all the work of a reporter named Hanna Liubakova from Belarus. Apparently the country is going through a good bit of political upheaval lately. I guess she’s kind of a Belorussian Andy Ngo posting videos of the events. I don’t know what the larger significance of that would be.

Lukashenko engaged in TEAM BLUE-style election fraud.
So the school wouldn’t say how the football player died. Must have been something embarrassing, pills + booze, or autoerotic asphyxiation.
Isn’t he the one who accidentally shot himself?
Yes.
A lot of times when a young seemingly healthy athlete drops dead, it later emerges that there was an unknown heart defect or other abnormality that only shows up when the body is physically pushed.
For patient privacy reasons, I imagine they (schools, medical pros) are hush-hush about it.
And of course no mention of the massive, wasteful, pork larded into the bill.
Don’t mention

In which our author descends into an abyss of delusional hysteria
Most of America likely is not surprised by President Donald Trump’s post-election descent into ever deeper chaos, negligence and callous self-absorption. But that won’t make it any easier to get through the next three weeks and change.
Even though deliverance is close, the anxiety of bracing for what will happen next is ever-present. When it does happen, it is always a blow. It is always a shock, still, and it’s not because we haven’t been paying attention. We have, all too much. And frankly it’s a relief that so many of us continue to be so shocked.
It should never be shrugged off when a commander in chief offers pardons and clemency to convicted war criminals and white collar criminals, cronies and allies and crooks with friends in high places. Especially when so many people are in prison due to old laws and requirements that have been overtaken by advances in brain science or new thinking on drug offenses, and that in some cases have been changed by states but not made retroactive. Especially when so many of those in prison are people of color.
It should never be shrugged off when a president flies to his luxury Florida golf club to hit the links after single-handedly upending months of painful negotiations for COVID relief. Marie Antoinette had nothing on Trump. Don’t be fooled by his post-game insistence on $2,000 checks in every pot. He had months to make that demand and persuade Republicans it was non-negotiable. Instead he made his move in a video three days before Christmas and two days after Congress finally agreed on a deal. This holiday season is now a time of fear and desperation for millions who are facing hunger, eviction and the end of unemployment benefits.
It should never be shrugged off when the leader of a great nation abandons his people in a pandemic, leaving them to disease and death and turning his brilliant, wealthy country into a global role model for failure. From testing, contact tracing and identifying mutations of the coronavirus, to shortages of personal protective equipment and inadequate, belated and sometimes non-existent economic aid, the U.S. COVID response has been a rolling tragedy of mistakes, inaction, confusion, false starts, false information, propaganda, lies, and disrespect for science.
The view from up her own ass inot pretty.
Help me, Uncle Joe Kenobi. You’re my only hope.
She is going to be in a bad mental state when Trump is sworn in again in January.

Three people are shot dead after gunman opens fire at Shooters Bar & Grill in Illinois bowling alley
Someone took the name too seriously.
Good morning, kids.
Thanks for all the kind words about my poem which was re-run this year.
Spent a lovely holiday with some relatives. But nearly all of the relatives were die-hard lefties. I’m a terrible arguer so I can’t really mount much of a counterpoint when my niece argues that the whole country should have been shut down early on, then we could be more back to normal like some other countries are. I pointed out that this is America, where we shouldn’t be able to just force businesses to close and people to stay home, but I might as well have been talking to a wall.
The upshot is, although things seem to be moving toward the nation being sick and tired of lockdowns and mandates and ready to go back to normal, there still plenty of diehards who will absolutely fight to keep it from happening.
You could have pointed out that those countries have instituted second (or in the case of Israel, a third) lockdown.
Argue that every single government-sector worker needs to go into lockdown without pay.
Them, and the media, who have only been parroting government propaganda and fomenting panic. Lock them down and shut off the transmitters. And when they complain, ask why they don’t want to do their part.
“Argue that every single person except government-sector workers needs to go into lockdown without pay.”
FIFY
There’s a lot of good info to use as rebuttal, but I’d start with Tom Woods. He has some great charts and data links for those that think logically and he has a couple good talks on the immorality of it all for those that are more emotional.
Since we are having a surge while lockdowns were in effect that is worse than the surge when there were fewer/less strict lockdowns, what makes you think they work?
I always point out the BLM riots. If someone truly believed that a national lockdown was necessary, make them admit that other things, at least from their point of view, are even more important, and then work back from that.

Culture of Fear
The authorization of two Covid-19 vaccines earlier in December offered some hope of a light at the end of the tunnel — but experts continue to warn that while the end is in sight, the pandemic is not over and another surge stemming from Christmas travel and gatherings could be on its way.
More than 616,000 people were screened at TSA checkpoints across the country on Christmas Day alone, and hundreds of thousands more traveled in the days leading up to the holiday. Numbers are expected to climb again this weekend.
“The individuals who are traveling, they probably are not going camping in the wilderness. Probably they are going to see loved ones and having dinner without wearing masks, crowded indoors for prolonged periods of time,” emergency physician Dr. Leana Wen told CNN. “There are many people who may have Covid-19 and not know it and then spread it to their loved ones, and then they’re going to go back to their home communities and then infect others unknowingly.”
“What I worry about is those same individuals are then going to be in the hospitals, in the ICUs in two to three weeks’ time,” she added. “I just really worry about this surge that we’re going to see and how quickly we’re going to surpass that 400,000 deaths number.”
What we have most to fear is complacency and a misguided longing for normal life.
KEEP FEAR ALIVE.

OK, then.
Let’s look at all your previous dire predictions to see how accurate they were.
We still have to always trust our experts, or else.
It will not surprise me if we are required to get the vaccine in order to work, shop, travel—you know, to do commerce.
And here’s how they will track and check it:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/spectrum.ieee.org/the-human-os/biomedical/imaging/quantum-dots-encode-vaccine-history-in-skin.amp.html
That article was from 2019. I didn’t care for the idea then either, but at least it seemed far off and theoretical.
“It will not surprise me if we are required to get the vaccine in order to work, shop, travel—you know, to do commerce.”
If we’re ever going to get to utopia, we have to start somewhere.
I see the IEEE is continuing its tradition of ignoring the implications of technology.
I wonder if those are what’s causing the allergic reactions.
So does the aluminum eventually get absorbed into the body? Aluminum is toxic and in the case of people with the MHTFR defect, it cannot be easily expelled, which is why vaccines are already a problem for that portion of the population as all vaccines contain an adjuvant in the form of aluminum or thimerosal (mercury).
Large numbers of Americans will not comply with that.
It will be… interesting watching this unfold.
This will trigger plenty of Number of the Beast allusions.

The UK is getting its ass handed to it by a storm named Bella.
100mph gusts, over 100,000 w/o power.

Unpossible, Bella was with Yusuf on the Zoom last night.
I have a limited understanding of the electricity distribution business in the UK, but I think that the power company is legally obligated to provide you with backup power within a certain time frame and until power is restored.
100,000 out is a huge number there for that reason alone.
This is the type of unit they would drop off at your residence to provide you with emergency power. https://anacorp.com/products-grid-GTG-3060.php
Well, the UK works on 230VAC at 50hz, yeah that is what they would probably provide.

Hey gun glibs,
I’m looking for a front sight for a remington 700. I have found several online, but none of them specify what caliber they are for.
Do any if you know if there is a difference for different caliber rifles on the 700 platform?
The sights won’t vary by caliber, but will vary on barrel size and probably height. I own a early 80s vintage 700 classic with iron sights. They are pretty typical in appearance.
Probably need to look at the front sight I have and maybe be able to match it to the corresponding rear…

Some good news from overseas
Austria’s Constitutional Court ruled Wednesday that two government measures to fight the spread of coronavirus in schools, compulsory mask-wearing and splitting classes into two halves to be taught in alternate shifts, were illegal.
The split classes system meant that some pupils had lessons on Mondays and Tuesdays and others on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
At all other times they were to stay at home.
“In addition, it was decided that all persons present in school buildings, apart from during teaching time, had to wear a mask over their mouth and nose,” a statement from the court said.
“In its decision published today, the Constitutional Court ruled that the measures in question were illegal,” the statement went on.
You know what other Austrian wanted to fight?

Killing the golden goose?
“As we move into the 2021, 2022 timeframe, where governments are going to have less money and start to question their priorities on public spending, that’s where the danger zone lies,” said Richard Anderson, co-director of Imperial College London’s Transport Strategy Centre.
Public transportation is rarely profitable but is essential to the success of major cities, Anderson said, comparing slashing government transport spending to “killing the golden goose.”
Top Men.
These people were not beaten severely enough as children when they exhibited such ass backward “reasoning”.
Or, you know, they could stop subsidizing it and let the fares reflect reality.
If it were run like any other business, instead of like a charity, it would be profitable.
While ridership remains low, transportation experts have urged policymakers to look beyond raw passenger numbers when making funding decisions.
Won’t somebody think of the trolley drivers’ union?

I’m watching a History Channel show about the Lewis and Clark expedition. What an absolute badass Sacajawea was.
That only one man, Sgt. Floyd, died (and that from a burst appendix) was miraculous. One of the great adventures of all time.
They shot class IV rapids in homemade canoes. Truly amazing what they accomplished and Sacajawea was there, while nursing a baby, and acting as translator. She was critical.
The thing with her brother is incredible.
I was reading an article the other day about her, there is controversery over spelling her name…Shoshone use the j, the tribe that kidnapped her and sold her to her husband use the g.
Ckark spelled it something like 13 different ways in his journal.
I am on team j.
I’ve seen it as “Sakakawea” too. Isn’t there a big dammed lake on the Missouri with that name?
Good God. I tried reading over the comments. I dont know if I can stomach the horseshit going on in the country right now. I am a non-violent person. Most of what I say regarding it is hyperbole but if every democrat, democrat shill, never Trumper republican and Biden voter were to be hunted down and strung up I wouldn’t even blink.

It’s not even proper Law & Order. It started life as Sex Crimes, but NBC was afraid it wouldn’t attract enough viewers, so they slapped the L&O brand onto it. The first episode is fabulous, it’s shot differently than the later ones and is, on the whole, far more salacious and seedy than the remainder of the series.
Best toaster oven? I know Tulip is fond of hers (which model, Tulip?)
Just cleared off some counter space. I have a regular toaster, but those things are, as Alton Brown says, unitaskers.

Toaster oven, or countertop oven?
Black & Decker, but I’ll have to look for exact model. Mine is big enough for a 13x9x2 pan and is a convection oven. It’s like having a second oven. I looove it.
Was looking at this one – I generally love Cuisinart products, especially on the cost/quality ratio.

*anguished moan*
President Donald Trump issued a reply of sorts after former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said he would consider running for president again even if Trump seeks the GOP nomination in 2024.
The former Republican governor told radio host Hugh Hewitt on Monday that he would not eliminate the possibility of running for president once again in 2024–even if Trump decides to run for re-election in four years. Christie highlighted several campaign errors from Trump which led to his defeat by President-elect Joe Biden and he urged the president to attend Biden’s inauguration on January 20 despite being disappointed in his loss.
——-
Trump has vacillated between suggestions that he will run for re-election in 2024 right alongside remarks that he doesn’t plan on leaving the White House next month, citing baseless “election fraud” claims.
“If President Trump decides to run in 2024 are you ruling out running against him?” Hewitt asked Christie during the conversation.
“I would not, No,” Christie replied, before clarifying, “I would not rule it out, Hugh.”
Neither of those two idiots should run. Is there a Republican governor who isn’t a total skin job?
Is there a Pol that isn’t a total skin job?
Remember that if those people were worth the water it takes to keep them alive they would be in the private sector doing something useful.

That’s Dennis Green-level decision-making
I hate, hate, hate passivity at the end of the game. Unless you’re able to kneel out to the end of the game, you should be aggressively trying to score. Maybe dial down the risk taking, but you don’t leave points on the field. Modern kickers have a non-zero chance of hitting from anywhere on the happy side of midfield and modern QBs are able to launch it into the end zone from 60 yards, bare minimum.
We lost playoffs because we weren’t aggressive enough at the end. That was in the Alex Smith years. Since Mahomes, they’ve gotten a lot more aggressive. Here, Smith was always known as a game manager. It wasn’t a compliment.
When Denny Green allowed the clock to run out and go to OT ON THIRD DOWN, I knew we were doomed.
Do the goddamn play and see if you can get it into the endzone or FG range, at least.
It wasn’t Gary Anderson’s fault.
Eccent? Vat are you talking abut?
When I lived in Montana I visited numerous sites mentioned in Lewis and Clark’s journals. Even today many of the sites look very similar as they did during the Corps of Discovery passage. You can drive to Lemhi Pass (dirt road 2wd accessible) and the view to the west is still stunning. It is easy to imagine the gut punch they had. You were expecting an easy trip down to the Pacific, but all you can see is range after range of mountains. If you like the CoD story, spend some time in Montana and Idaho along their path. It is fascinating.
I elk hunt near the mouth of the Columbia River in Washington and the CoD path through there is well marked. You can walk the ground of their campsites. My hunt is in November when they passed through and the days are often wet and miserable. A couple of times I visited a site on the exact anniversary from the journals. Spending those days in buckskin clothes and trying to start a fire in the middle of a seven to ten day rainstorm? My hat is off to them. Just across the river on the Oregon side is Ft Clatsop where they overwintered. I have visited three times and have never seen anything weather there but drizzle.
Before I entered the Army I lived in Lander, Wyoming. Sacajawea is such a bad ass she has multiple graves. One of them is near Lander just outside of Ft Washakie on the Shoshone Reservation. The tribe keeps it well tended.
The expedition went through MN and ND. in MN it passes near my mom’s house
I think half the municipalities in the country have a school named Lewis & Clark.
I went to their college in Oregon where they apparently traded jn their boots and moccasins for penny loafers.
