ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. IT IS APPROACHING THE BRUTAL HOLIDAY OF CHRISTMAS – THERFORE, ZARDOZ WILL GO OVER SOME BASIC PRINCIPLES. NO, NOT REGARDING THE BELIEF THAT CHRISTMAS WAS THE FULFILLMENT OF THE PROMISE OF THE ALMIGHTY TO SEND HIS SON TO REDEEM THE WORLD. ZARDOZ’S AIMS ARE NOT SO… LOFTY. ZARDOZ WOULD BRING YOU BACK TO HIS BASELINE ASSUMPTIONS:
- THE GUN IS GOOD.
- THE PENIS IS EVIL.
- YOU, THE CHOSEN ONES, MUST GO FORTH AND SNARK AT THE INTERNET AND SOCIAL MEDIA BRUTALS.
ONCE YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THAT, ZARDOZ WILL FEEL THE WARM HOLIDAY SPIRIT.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, CHOSEN ONES.
ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
With nearly two months still to go in 2020, sales of firearms have hit a new high in the U.S., already topping the prior record set in 2016, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation.
FUCK YEAH!
I just received 1,000 rounds of .303 British surplus today.
Nice! Get a good deal on Enfields or perhaps a Bren.

Volume of fire is important too!

Meh. Win some, lose some.
Though as a machine gunner in a past life, I do agree with the volume of fire. But snark is too fun!
Snark! Here at this fine establishment. Why, I never!
One well placed shot is preferred, but volume against multiple targets is hard to beat because it usually at least gives you time to get the hey out of dodge.

Zoom ain’t zooming. I’m stuck on “Connecting…”
Saw that you tried to join a couple times, are you connecting via computer or mobile? Have you upgraded to the latest client, or are you using a web plugin?
PC (ubuntu), latest client.
Looks like you may be running into a Zoom client/Ubuntu issue. Still see you stuck at Joining. Any firewalls/filtering going on that may be blocking the packets?
Nothing that has changed since the last time I joined a Zoom meeting (which was a while ago).
Link to Zoom?
Same link as always when I host it.

Hollywood celebrities are leading the fundraising effort for Georgia Democrats, with the latest contribution coming from the cast of the long-running USA Network series Suits, which is holding a fundraiser to help flip the state and the U.S. Senate blue.
Actor Patrick J. Adams announced the virtual fundraiser, which is set for December 27, encouraging fans to help put an end to the “GOP’s chokehold on Congress.” On Suits, Adams plays the fake lawyer Mike Ross. The actor joked that his character could “still win any case against Trump’s legal team.”
Pols play characters in public. You and Rudy (or that thicc blonde) in a courtroom would not end well for you.
Democrats outraised several Republicans this year and still lost. Just scamming their sheep.

SUPREME CUCKOLDRY: A RANT
I’ve stockpiled AR10 bolts, upper receivers and a spare. 308 barrel. I have plenty of AR-15 upper parts and recently picked up a few 80% receivers.
For the more exotic, I got a 7.62 NATO BREN L4 barrel and I am working on getting a BREN L4A3 parts kit. Unfortunately the supplier won’t ship to WA, so I going to have a friend in Idaho buy it.
I’m planning on buying a CNC mill for work this year and that will free me from buying more 80% receivers.
I read that as you stocking up on A-10s. I was very jealous.
I should have acquired a M61A1 aircraft cannon when we took them off the B52s
That would have been awesome.

Santa or Zardoz gave me the gift of the nailing gun today. From this place:
https://youtu.be/IE0-I0T7Xhc
Got a palm nailer too. Bunch of NOS in there, with a good layer of dust. Unfortunately the nailing gun wasn’t one of them. Too much turnover so it’s a Metabo not Hitachi.
How the heck did this end up here? Sorry Yusef, wasn’t supposed to be a reply.
I never get anything in the right place anymore
Teenage me
That’s what she said.
1/4 crown or GTFO, Nail guns rule!
I already have the little guys. Today was a full-size framing nailer so I don’t have to drive nails when putting together something.
I’d think nailing your palm would be painful.
You would, we build here,
Jesus Christ would like to concur.
A failure where the bolt went through the top did occur to me.
Once, we had a Christmas party. My friend’s husband was passing around a picture of his x-ray with the nail he shot into it with his nailgun. My wife came into the room, and knowing she’s a lawyer, my friend asked her if he could sue. She went into a rant about, ” Sue for what, being a retard? What kind of idiot shoots himself in the fucking knee with a damn nailgun? Fucking ‘tard! He wouldn’t have a leg to stand on, because he blew it off with his fucking nailgun!” Then, I pointed to him and told her he’s the guy. The whole crowd just erupted in laughter. Good times!
Huzzah!

“I’d like to say very bluntly: our mission is to redistribute wealth.”
Not for very long however.
Save enough to pay the bridge toll and head on out
At least he’s honest about it. Bit mystifying that he and his ilk keep getting elected, though. Until you look at the figures and realize that the folks on the dole outnumber the rest of us. ?♂️
He’s so good it’s now redistributing itself right out of state.
Except he’s waiting on his billion bailout from the feds, which’ll be taken from everywhere else in the US, even the future, right back into New York.
No doubt you are right. That will be a temporary patch. NYC has serious structural debt problems. I’m expecting a repeat of 1973.
Sadly, there will be no “Biden to City: Drop Dead!”
I know you are right. It still may get interesting. NYC was a national embarrassment when it went belly up. No one wanted to follow that path. Chicago has the same problems. I believe a few cities in NJ are just behind them. I suspect even Biden at some point realizes these municipalities are going to have to choke down some reforms.
I fear we’re past embarrassment – too many people see “the government” as all-powerful who can “fix” anything it choses to.
I take your point but notice how much difficulty the proggies are having trying to get what they want out of the Biden administration. There is a substantial part of the Dems that left of center; not crazy. When the bill estimates start to leak out there is going to be trouble. Atlanta isn’t interested in paying for NYC. Houston doesn’t want to pay for Chicago. Unless the Treasury Secretary subscribes to Modern Monetary Theory, there will be a real political cost to bailing out profligate cities.
I would be pleasantly surprised if you are correct – my gut says that “just print more money” will be the argument far up the food chain. Again, I’d love to be wrong.

NHL announces tentative deal for new season:
https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-season-to-start-january-13-play-56-games/c-319839598
I literally have no idea what normal seasons are any more. Is there supposed to be hockey right now? I don’t know.
Yeah, should have started in October.
Fuck. Another season*.
I don’t get it. Europa-soccer completed more or less normally earlier this year and is running more or less normally again in the new season.
But every sport I follow in the US has had an asterisk season and looks like another one is coming. NFL is giving it a good try but I have serious doubts that this season will complete as expected. ‘Merica-soccer was an absolute clusterfuck at every level. I completely ignored it.
Aussie Rules… well. I will chalk that up to Australia losing its fucking mind.
Apparently the two things Europe can do during a pandemic is send their kids to school and play professional soccer.
College football would be more tolerable without the commercials the colleges put out. We get it – you want to smash the system. Try not to out-commie each other for five freaking minutes, sheesh.

You’ll note the lack of social distancing because as we all know you can’t catch the commie cough while protesting.

Evening Yusef
Eh, people can do more than one thing. No worse than the Discord site. There aren’t that may people on Zoom, just a quiet night.
I usually forget about Discord. And when I do remember, I can’t figure out all the different threads.
Unpossible.
OT: How much snow did you get?
13″ – 14″.
Fortunately not too heavy so shoveling out was NBD.
Neighbors bought a NH lake house earlier this year – “we’re only expected to get 2-3 inches!”.
Smash cut to their texted videos of the 3+ feet they got.
I admit the one thing I miss about the area are snowy winter nights. The whole are looked beautiful.
When I was at Tufts, a group of us would go Snurfing late at night when there was fresh snowfall. On a good run we would head down the hill and right out into the street. There was no way to steer and no way to stop. We just trusted there was enough snow that no one would be driving around. We were mostly right. *Thanks d-G for bailing my ass out when we were wrong*
Nice – which hill? Nathan Tufts Park or by the school?
At the school. I looked at Google Maps to try to figure out where we started and ended. I think there are some structures on campus that weren’t there in the mid 80s. We definitely rode down to Boston Avenue. I think we started up a hill at or near where there is now a parking garage.
Construction is something of a constant on all the campuses. I barely recognize Northeastern.
Yeah, it was just a regular snowstorm. Nothing seems like a big deal if I don’t have to wake up at dawn to shovel it myself.

Which will come first? Metastasized favelas or 9th Circus rules that the cities must provide 2500sqft homes, furnished, with all amenities to remove the stigma of the unhoused?
I can’t believe I’m saying this but the 9th isn’t as crazy as it used to be due to Trump. I’ll bet on metastasized favelas. I’ll also bet they end at the LA City line.
I hope it sticks. The idea that cities owe housing to bums nor can they enforce camping bans is just downright insanity and it’s allowing decent cities to be overrun.

Mornin’ Tundra!
Very well, thanks! Just a bit uncertain as to what to do about Christmas. My big gift for one of my sisters is a goody basket from my favorite not-for-profit, ordered right after Thanksgiving. Trouble is, this not-for-profit was featured in a gift guide in the NY Times and got slammed with orders. They keep sending out apologetic “we’re trying!” e-mails, but my order hasn’t shipped from Denver yet. We usually host Christmas for my two sisters & BIL, and I’m not sure whether to suggest we postpone our get-together a few days. Truly a first world problem to have. I’ve been thinking about how lucky I’ve been.
Super-spreader! She has red hair! Burn the witch!
Tres Sr. is a TrueBeliever™ about the ‘vid, and at age 81 I suppose I cant blame him. Im tempted to get a test to demonstrate im SARS (-) just so I can spend christmas eve with him. However, I question the accuracy and precision of the test to the point that I dont want a false positive.
GF has had 5 tests so far. At some point the law of averages is gonna give her a false positive, I assume.
I’ve got a test scheduled Monday for travel. A false positive would be really inconvenient.

I got a lot of driving to do today. Still haven’t started packing either.
Mornin’ UCS. Sore from all the shoveling?
Of course I am. I’m not used to regular moving cubic yards of solid water.
depending on density (wet, angry, snow? Or happy, fluffy, snow) per volume the snow should weigh less than actual water
It weighs the same amount; the snow just takes up more volume.
That was my point.
