Emergency Order Updates
The Governor had his weekly press conference on March 25th.ย At the press conference, he announced he would extend the State of Emergencyย and mask order for 21 days.ย He also extended his travel restrictions.
The Legislature Displeases His Excellency the Governor of New Hampshire
On March 24th, news outlets started running stories that bills restricting the Governor’s emergency powers are part of the budget.
GraniteGrok also ran an op-ed from Andrew Manuse, chairman of ReopenNH, about the development.
This is interesting.ย New Hampshire budgets on a two year basis.ย Odd numbered years, like 2021, are budget years.ย The budget must be finished by June 30th in odd-numbered years.ย There are two budget bills, HB 1 and HB 2, to work around the state constitution’s prohibition in article 18-a on spending bills amending laws.ย At the time of this writing, the publicly available text of the bills does not include anything which rewrites the emergency powers laws.
New Hampshire governors do not have a line item veto for the budget.
I’ve heard both HB 1 and HB 2 must pass in order for the state to have a budget.ย I’m not sure how they are tied together.ย I ran a quick search for information on government shutdowns in New Hampshire, and I found nothing.
Week of Mar. 29th through Apr. 2nd
The Legislative Administration Committee will have an executive session, which will include a vote on HCR 2.ย I’ll write about that and whatever else happens next week.
Live free or die!
I eagerly await developments.
We will see what happens.
I’m not too worried about the House right now, even though the votes haven’t happened yet. It’s the Senate where we might get shanked.

Rat fuckers. Our union “negotiated” a fairly large pay cut for us, obstensibly to forgo furloughs. THan, the feds made up the difference anyway, lol. Meanwhile, the city is forcing supermarkets to give a huge pay BUMP to employees. They won’t even pay us what they committed to in our contract and we’ve been working right through this ( minus the three months they sent some of us home for). Fucking union can’t even make them pay us what they “negotiated” for.
I assume you’re forced against your will to be a member of said union?
Boom! Good Job Ted,
Man, I still make 100k a year and live in one of the best parts of town. A deal’s a deal. You can’t create an emergency and then not pay us, because there’s an emergency.
Really? looks like they did,
That’s ’cause our union is on their side.
Only the union leadership – they go to the cocktail parties after all.
Tell me. Last year, they tricked a bunch of us into astroturfing Kamala’s appearance at the airport. When I told people that they just used 4 hours of VC to be another purple shirt in her TV slot, they were pissed. Main focus was on trying to destroy Uber. Which failed, thankfully.
For reference, 4 hours is about 200.00 for most of us. Imagine being tricked out of 2 bills, and it had nothing to do with helping you or anyone you know.
Yes. Allegedly, there’s a mechanism to opt out of paying dues, but in practice it’s near impossible.
Janus?
Sorry to be naive.
B/G/valley area is vast…
Janus is a bust. The union says you have to opt out during a certain period ( of about a week) and then says later that it changed the particular week and you missed it again. The local courts are in the bag and give it to them. It takes some serious stick-to-it-ness to get past all of that. Once somebody makes it out, I probably will.
OK, about as well as I remember putting you on the spot last time.
In a just world, all of them, judges included, would be brought up on RICO charges
and I do remember your saying last time that opting out was impractical.
Sorry.
Do you and your buddies know where these “union” bosses live?
Turnabout would prolly be fair play.
The feds made up the difference…to the city. We got screwed.
I’m not saying you didn’t get screwed but the bullshit hero pay for supermarkets has screwed the workers in marginal markets. As I recall Ralph’s said they are permanently closing three markets because the pay increase makes them all unprofitable.
Yeah, I just point it out because both things happened the same week. They weaseled out of paying us per our contract Monday and by Wednesday they were forcing the supermarkets to give a huge pay increase. Way back on that same Monday, Long Beach CA lost about three supermarkets because of the same hare-brained scheme. Didn’t stop the ‘tards that run L.A.
Has anybody put together a kit gun?
Dad had the local news on TV at dinner, and Senator Moobs was asserting, without evidence, that such guns (which he erroneously called “ghost guns”) were easier to put together than Legos.
The TV news, of course, accepted this bullshit rather credulously.
I looked into it, but decided against it because it seemed a bit complicated and a mistake would easily ruin the whole thing.
Not answering that fed.
I have a 80% lower and a build kit for an AR-15. A few friends of mine and I are getting together in June for a build party. I’ll know then, but from what I understand if you have the tools it is not that hard.
Tried building my lower last month (milled with a buddy last year). Issues with the trigger. I’ll take it apart and try from scratch.
May look into a printer once I get my yard squared away – and a shed with some space. Might even buy one before I have space just for keeping on hand.
Supposedly, fairly easy. I never bothered previously cuz a factory assembled unit was cheaper than the kits.
I know someone who assembled one. He’s had issues with reliability.
I have a milling machine and a lathe. Unfortunately, I live in enemy territory. My buddy ( who also has a milling machine) did a few. He got paid in lowers and the jig. Never figured out if he finished his kit.
Oh, Moobs also said he wanted the individual components banned since they can’t be traced. Good luck banning screws and tubes.
It’s probably apples to mangoes but I put together a .54 caliber plains rifle. It was fairly simple, but it did have a serial number stamped onto the barrel assembly.
It depends on what you’re talking about.
Assembling a working AR lower from a stripped lower and parts is fairly easy. Easier than building a Lego kit? No. Moobs is a fucktard, but we already knew that.
Completing an 80% lower requires a vertical mill and some machining know-how. It’s not hard, but it’s precision work. Your typical whitebread suburbanite who takes his car to the shop to get the oil changed, isn’t going to have much success with an 80% lower.
I donโt know any LEGO sets that require tools.
Polymer Glock clones are the easiest, requiring some filing and drilling at minimum. There are 80 percent receivers for other pistols too but I donโt know much about them aside from being more complicated.
Aluminum AR lowers can be done without a milling machine, though obviously itโs a better option. Many people use a wood router with an end mill bit. Thatโs the next one I plan to try. Some do it with just a drill and filing, but OMG tedious.
TL;DR:
Grrr. TL;DR: Itโs if you have some skill and some decent, relatively inexpensive tools, but not lego easy.
Wood routers run much higher speeds than milling machines. You might remove the metal, but your finish is gonna suck and you’ll kill the endmill in the process. Plus, you have very little control of a router, which is fine on soft wood but not so much on hard steel.

Back when we were still pretending to be a free country, that’s the kind of bar I would go to every weekend. Thanks.
“to work around the state constitutionโs prohibition”
This right here is the problem. Too many people think that’s ok.
That ship sailed.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is Exhibit A of the destruction of our Republic. Not only do they not care, they actively do not care. Your rights are roadblock to their “perfect society”. And at this point in time, they are winning.
Note in this instance it is the people trying to put a stop to the governor’s trampling on people’s rights.
Another thing to note: In NH, the legislature is the policy making body. Usually much of the second budget bill (HB 2) is the Legislature telling the Executive how to spend the money because they can’t do that in the actual bill with the spending (HB 1).
This is some thread:
“15 years ago, I co-led a team trying to give 100% free Internet access to all of San Francisco starting with the poorest neighborhoods first. The network would be anonymous, with no ads, no cookies, etc. Approximately a $20-25 million gift. The result? We were chased out of town.”
https://twitter.com/sacca/status/1375962440303661057
Poor people are really good at developing workarounds. That’s pretty much most of what they do. Money eases things so much, the rich forget how to make things work.
LOL. I doubt his kind exists in the SF city government any more.
WOW! What an incredible development! It’s not like there’s something in the web browser settings that you can change to just magically turn cookies off.
And that’s the way that assertion crumbles.
The best tortilla chips are freshly fried. I now have to scoop some shredded chicken and beans and rice with some of those. YOU PEOPLE have a great night.
Enjoy your Mexican food, we have to suffer through My Mexican food here, the best in the county,
/A low bar indeed,
We ate out at a Mexican restaurant on our weekend escape. Very strange – the taco and chile relleno were good, but in a first (and I mean, first of my entire life) – the beans and rice were terrible. How do you f’up refried beans and rice???
By being refried beans and rice?
*blech*
truly a New Yawker, I guess,
stick to Pizza, we got this…
It’s actually really good when somebody’s Mexican mom makes it. NYC restaurants? I understand your reticence. Even the commercial stuff is not bad around here. Imma have some tonight with chicken enchiladas.
I’ve had it at “authentic” Mexican restaurants. We do have them, you know. I like Mexican food – except I don’t like beans in general.
And turning them into something with the texture and appearance of food that has been run back and forth through a digestive tract a couple times doesn’t help.
I’ve been to “authentic” Mexican restaurants back east. I stick with my position, personal preferences notwithstanding.
I’ve been spoiled by New Mexican food for so long that I don’t even consider “mexican food” outside of the four corners states edible.
We were waiting for clearance to go to Canada in the small Montana town of Eureka. Enchiladas and burritos were on the menu but we figured that Montana was far away for any decent Mexican fare. After our order I read the back of the menu where it was pointed out that the wife of the owner was from Chama, NM. We missed out on having a great home-style meal in the Great White North!
Think of a jar of Chef Boy R Dee and overcooked pasta and someone serving that as authentic Italian.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/scranton-firefighters-rescue-cat-from-tree/ar-BB1eVODj
I’m glad the cat is OK, but, it pretty much always was. It just didn’t want to come down. My wife does the same dance about twice a week. Pretends she’s saving a cat. I keep telling her that the cats are saving her. Cats can literally jump from maybe 25 feet up and land on their legs and saunter off like nothing happened. That cat was relaxing up there.
You’re killing my buzz, man.
Yeah, I don’t know where this trope came from that cats trap themselves in trees. Cartoons?
They’re perfectly fine up there. I know nature plays some cruel tricks but giving cats the ability to easily climb a tree but have no way to get down is not one of them.
Cat’s probably laughing it up with cat buddies, “yeah, I took the elevator down, lol!”
As somebody here once said long, long ago… when was the last time you saw a cat skeleton in a tree?
Might have been me? Heard that when I was describing how my sister shattered her elbow and chipped a bone in her ankle trying to “rescue” one of her cats from the rafters of the garage. Pull your truck back into the garage and let the cat jump down onto the roof. That’s how it got up there in the first place!
Heh exactly.
These motherfuckers know no chill.
My dad usually let the cats come down by themselves no matter how much they complained. The one time he did was when this one cat climbed a 32 foot ladder onto the roof of a house with slate tiles. Cat was scared because her claws couldn’t dig into the slate so she was slipping a lot. She still move enough it was hard for him to reach her when he climbed the ladder to get her.
Well, another charming and endearing myth busted, thanks, guys, you’re the best!
If it’s any consolation, that myth had at least nine lives.
Has anybody put together a kit gun?
I have assembled 1911s from readily available commercial parts. I have not yet built an 80% frame.
My guess is a if Schumer built a gun, the safest place to be would be standing in front of the target.
Biden administration working on vaccine credentials
The Biden administration and private companies are working to develop a standard way of handling credentials โ often referred to as โvaccine passportsโ โ that would allow Americans to prove they have been vaccinated against the novel coronavirus as businesses try to reopen.
The effort has gained momentum amid President Bidenโs pledge that the nation will start to regain normalcy this summer and with a growing number of companies โ from cruise lines to sports teams โ saying they will require proof of vaccination before opening their doors again.
The administrationโs initiative has been driven largely by arms of the Department of Health and Human Services, including an office devoted to health information technology, said five officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the effort. The White House this month took on a bigger role coordinating government agencies involved in the work, led by coronavirus coordinator Jeff Zients, with a goal of announcing updates in coming days, said one official.
Mark of the Beast, baby! Pure fucking evil.
dude, my thoughts exactly, I’m serial, et tu?
My shop follows the main shops rules, from California, it makes no sense but what can you do. They are adamant about the vaccine, i fear it is the Mark, and won’t take it, lock me up, or Cattleize me, no way, no how,
Imma get mine down at Macarthur park, where all good IDs come from.
Preparation for it, certainly. The technology is here.
The mark is mandated by the false prophet, as a sign that the recipient worships the Antichrist. This occurs after the Antichrist enters the rebuilt Jewish temple and declares himself to be god.
Prior to the implementation, an angel flies across the sky, warning everyone not to take the mark.
So, until there is a rebuilt Jewish temple, and chatty angels flitting through the air, the real mark of the beast can’t happen, according to the Book of Revelation.
So, trust in the plan?

The mark of the Beast?
I’m not a hard-core Christian but I see the parallels.

I knew what that was without clicking!
I think we all did.
It certainly is in Beijing
Linking that is doing doG’s work.
No.
???
Maybe a year ago I was thinking that I couldn’t wait for the vaccine and some kind of paperwork to prove I had a and would be allowed to live a normal life again. But if they’re going to try to make it mandatory just Eff that. I’ll get by over here without it. If I am back to the US I’ll have some random, official looking piece of paper in Japanese which I will brandish, pretending it’s a Japanese vaccine proof passport.
You could have fun with that, especially if you know a little Photoshop. Put an official seal on top, have the text say “Tejicano likes Sapporo beer”, “Tejicano never got a vaccine” and “he wants you to lick his asshole”. If you could get it the Japanese equivalent of notarized, that’d be the cherry on the cake.
All he has to do is stamp it with his own hanko and 99.9% of the people would never know the difference.
A friend of mine lived for a decade in S. Korea. Then he moved to Austria. The Austrian officials gave him all sorts of troubles because his various Korean documents had personal seals instead of signatures.
But requiring IDs to vote is impossible.
If you care about Grandma, you’ll do what it takes to comply.
OMG.the BBCA Top Gear episode with Trump is great. How is it I never heard about that shit for four years?

In one-hit-wonder history, Phil Seymour is a footnote that few know about. As a twenty-something yoot, he teamed up with fellow Tulsan Dwight Twilley and found immediate success with “I’m on Fire,” which reached #16 in 1975. Later, he worked as a session drummer and guitarist, and sang backup on Tom Petty’s first album.
Seymour later gave a solo career a try, and his debut single Precious to Me reached its chart apex at #22 on this date in 1981.
A few years later, he was touring with a new band when he noticed lumps in his neck. He died of lymphoma in 1993 at the age of 41.

So tonight I’m chatting with my friend in Japan who is essentially technically illiterate. I’m explaining to her that many of us here in the US watch Netflix on our regular TVs with either a built in “smart TV” or with an attached device like a Roku, Apple TV or an Android TV device.
A combination of my less than stellar technical Japanese and her lack of knowledge leaves me stymied until I decide to quickly show her an example. I present to you the Japanese version of “Chromecast with Google TV”.
Hearing the voice over say “”Chromecast with Google TV” multiple times with a Japanese accent just cracks me up!
ๆฐใใ Chromecast with Google TV ใฎใ็ดนไป
Maybe your Japanese friend isn’t quite as technically illiterate as she’s letting on, Officer NHK.
No, she pays the TV tax! The problem with having technical conversations with my friend even when I know the correct Japanese English terms she doesn’t know them!
OTH, one of my other Japanese friends who actually uses PCs for a living and I have had rather long conversations about using Excel in Japanese. That conversation would likely have sounded hysterical to an English speaker as many of the terms are directly from English, but use Japanese pronunciation. That’s the kind of stuff I can’t learn in my classroom or from TV or reading fiction.

Well, unless you try out all the potential sleeping spots, you won’t know which one is the best, now will you?
Collect them all!
Both of mine liked to hide under the stove before they got too fat to do so.
So sweet. They probably liked the warmth.
It was more they were terrified of me. Within a day of coming to live with me they had found the one spot in a tiny studio apartment where I couldn’t reach them. They put up with me eventually but in the beginning they were making me pull my hair out with worry. IIRC they both hid under there for about three full days.
Wow. When we adopted our first two from the shelter they ran through our apartment like little horses and then hid. One came out after a few hours. The other took about a day. After a couple of days of food, water, and fresh litter they warmed right up.

Mornin’, Sean. Good tune, haven’t heard it in a while. Now that I am socially distanced in my own space, I can listen to tunes while working.
See, I said something positive about this effed up situation.
It’s 30 degrees F and clear here. That probably means frost on my windshield. And our magnolia tree – the last one left in the front yard – had been getting ready to bloom. I hope the cold/frost doesn’t wreck the buds. ๐
Good Morning, Glibred! Our cherry trees have already bloomed out and losing their petals already. We had to turn on the AC early again. I hope the weather stays nice for our upcoming staycation. I still expect the usual April cold snap.
23, and a touch of frost, clear skies, youll be fine
36, clear and windy.
The windy part is a problem since I’m trying to dispose of styrafoam by the mthod that is not “have it littered all over the neighborhood”. That method was “place it in a clar plastic bag next to the trash”. But after the wind decided it didn’t like that placement, I had to wedge the bag between the trash can and the telephone pole. Hopefully the wind won’t dislodge it before the garbagemen come by and take it away.
Are you having better luck keeping your neighbors from “donating” to your trash can?
So far, the lock has been doing its job.
Trash can was on it’s side this morning. Fortunately, trash was not ejected.

Thanks! I don’t recall seeing that, but I’m glad you believe that’s the case. I think Tundra is most cheerful of all, and you’re not half bad yourself. ๐
Sorry about yourses phone woes. I understand.
I think our local Dr Who might be the most sanguine. Avatar checks out.
(and aw, a belated sororal hug.)
That’s just cause he gets the most action. ?
Ugh, he is a braggart.
Mornin’ Folks! Guess who who keeps turning up on my Youtube feeds? https://youtu.be/GcHgCk9H39w?list=PLWOQ9uTA74Nld_puQZ_go-I2MR4EkUlK3 She must like me from afar or something.

Enh. I’m an old dog running in his sleep after those rabbits. Still think it’s funny that I watched one or two and next thing I knew they pop up all of the time. No complaints.
Coworker was telling me about his boating accessory purchasing over the weekend. He told me where he went. I asked how busy they were. New hire #1 chimed in that they’re always busy. He’s going to fit in here very well.
^your avatar. Hard to find the like-minded nowadays.
I’ve found myself giving double thumbs up IRL a couple times recently. Mildly disconcerting.
#metoo. It’s the masks. I’m The Fonz, lately. Extra crinkling of our eyes to show a smile is going to prematurely age us. I want to see and read faces again.
