BELOVED CHILDREN’S BOOK
ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN LINK READING ONES. ZARDOZ IS SUBBING IN FOR THE BANJOED ONE, AS IT IS A BUSY TIME. THIS WILL ALLOW ZARDOZ TO GIVE THE GIFT OF THE LINK. THE LINK IS GOOD. IT SHOOTS INFORMATION, AND HELPS CLEANS THE INTERNET OF THE FILTH OF BRUTALS.
BEHOLD!
- MAYBE THE WOKE WILL FINALLY HATE CHINA… ISLAMOPHOBES!
- THIS COULD BUY A LOT OF THE GIFT OF THE
GUNAMMO. - ZARDOZ WONDERS…GOOD, YES.
- ZARDOZ BELIEVES THE CHOSEN ONES WOULD BE PLEASED IF THIS HAPPENED…
GO FORTH AND COMMENT!
ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
All the links are gone…and the sky is grey. Out there for awhile… on a winter’s day…
Am I beholding the missing links?
No, that’s STEVE SMITH.
Zardoz is shooting blanks.
?
Regarding link #3 – That’s crazy, I knew things would get bad, but didn’t expect so soon! Wow wow wow wow!
[golf clap]
That’s how I felt about the other links too.
?
I shaved my balls for this?
I hope not. but you do you bro.
LINK.
LINK
It is interesting how this will turn out but I can’t se anything good coming out of this
Como se dice?
Russian hackers stole the links!!111!1!
And that is the narrative we we will defend to the death! Until Zardoz is out of the links, then we’ll forget about it…
GO FORTH AND COMMENT!
Meh.

decolonize Jesus
I don’t think historical jews were bald at 33 on average…
Male pattern holiness.
Maybe Jesus shaved bald to appeal to teens. His tattoos were probably also impressive.
I thought he had the long hair to appeal to the hair metal fans.
That was a wig. He would sport that at the concerts.
His single ‘Loaves and Fishes’ rocked fucking hard core. Saw it live at The Dead Sea in ’86, fuckin epic.
I heard he’s working on a second comeback tour and it promises to the end all be all of tours.
People all over the world tend to imagine Jesus as looking like them. There are paintings from China of Chinese Jesus and from Ethiopia of Ethopian Jesus. Europe is no different.
Big whoop.
I thought Jesus was a Capricorn but it could be an ethnic thing.
Dec 25, yep Capricorn confirmed.

Colonial pipeline resumes operation. Eastern seaboard breathes sigh of relief.
I was confused why a pipeline was solely controlled by software in the first place. We had them before software was a thing, and they seemed to function.
I was wondering the same thing – unless they laid off everyone who knew how to go out and operate the valves manually.
You assume that the manual controls are still in place. I suspect that the iconic valve control wheels have been removed and large servo units installed to replace them. The only manual control is to shut off the power.
I’ve read it was on the accounting side that was hit. They could deliver gasoline but had no idea how much was contracted for, how much had been delivered and who had ordered it.
So, the it had nothing to do with the pipeline, but the distribution network, completely different story, good job journalists.
Me too.
Harris/Biden administration issues lame statement on Colonial pipeline. All the sycophantic progs on my social media are trumpeting this like he solved the problem.
Just what the pipeline needs — “We’re from the government and we’re here to help.” They’ll have it broken again in no time.
I thought progs hated fossil fuels.
They hate everything almost as much as they hate mirrors.
But they like everything powered by it.
Let me guess, he “solved” the problem by creating bureaucratic groups to study the problem.
My mom used to say, “if you don’t have anything nice to say…”
“… come sit here by me.”
…hold it in and turn it into festering resentment…
Are the brother I never had??
(s/b “Are you…”)
… say it loud and with feeling?
So we get to see how the sausage is made?
Mornin’!
No cleansing, no gift of the gun, no links…ZARDOZ’s track record is worse than Trump’s.
Careful…
Stand down, Soldier. Stinky was just making a funny. Yeesh.
Hey, you wanna piss off a giant floating stone head with Brtual Exterminators at his beck and call…?
Baseball birthdays:
Larry Gardner, Mystery Guy*, Barry Zito, John Roseboro, Wilson Contreras.
For those paying attention, mystery guy will be easy to guess, as I have asked this trivia question before. Who was the last player to play in MLB after receiving at least one HoF vote (exactly one, in his case) ?
If that is too hard, he was also the 1990 World Series MVP.
If he hadn’t been born with FRAGILE (he’s Italian?) stamped on his butt, he would have been an easy HoFer.
His name is something and he dances on the mound.
Rio?
include the semi-silent j and you have it right.
Man, nobody appreciates a Duran Duran joke around here.
Well, this made for an interesting week all the same.
The panic was spreading but fear no more. The pipeline is back online, but the hiccup is that it’ll take a week for the supply chain to return to normal.
That’s what they want you to think.
Keep hoarding gas in plastic bags!
I saw some examples of that. I don’t understand the thought process.
It’s plastic bags, all the way down.
Double bag
/Fauci
Presumably these are people who don’t have gas cans, which trends towards apartment dwellers and others who don’t have to cut grass. Also, I’m suessing that gas cans started disappearing off store shelves when this hit.
Either way they did not think through how they are supposed to get it into their cars, safety hazard notwithstanding.
I have a 2 gal for the mower and 1 gal for the trimmer. The trimmer one is empty and the mower one is getting there. Stupid me should have just filled them at the beginning of the season instead of thinking “I’ve got enough left over for a couple months of mowing”. I also picked up some 5 gal cans awhile back with the intention of getting a generator during a lull in the market between winter and hurricane season but I didn’t fill them. I should have filled them and put fuel stabilizer in them for storage. Couldn’t hurt to always have a bit of extra gas on hand, as I am sure many are discovering.
I’m suessing that gas cans started disappearing off store shelves when this hit.
Probably.
Of course they didn’t think it through.
I just hope no third parties suffer injury or property loss when that poorly-stored gasoline catches fire.
I have these types of discussions whenever the power goes out and people come in to rent/buy generators.
“You have to leave the generator outside the building in a well ventilated area.”
OMG. I can only imagine the discussion about how they’re going to connect it up, if it even gets that far.
Sorry to hear about your breakfast mishap.
“No, you cannot run your central air conditioning on a 6000 watt generator.”
Tonio: No, you cannot run your laser printer from your 1000W uninterruptable power supply.
Librarian: But it worked for a few minutes, then stopped.
You just plug it into an outlet, right? … What just happened to the guy working to fix the line running to the house?
What just happened to the guy working to fix the line running to the house?
Crispy or extra crispy?
Backfeeding the mains is a quite common occurrence as most people haven’t the slightest idea how electricity is generated and distributed.
Makes for quite the bang when they turn the power back on though.
There is also a run on gas cans
It is like the people that bought carts full of toilet paper.
How many of the people buying hundreds of gallons of storage capacity also bought stabil to keep it from going bad in 6 months?
You expect rational thought from panic buyers? How many of them will store the extra gas inside their residence or in a vehicle?
That’s bullshit. You just turn things off, then turn them back on again. We’ve been doing it for over a year now, we’ve got PRACTICE!
Yeah. Printing trillions of Dollars of worthless currency doesn’t produce stagflation, either. Yet here we are. So glad that our mortgage is locked in. Pepperidge farms remembers.
2 weeks to fix the pipeline?
*golf clap*
Wait, that’s not funny.
I’m just thankful that I don’t have to guarddog my fuel tanks this weekend.
GasBuddy shows a lot of empty gas stations in my area. No surprise. There is panic buying every time snow is forecast.
Greetings, Earthlings.
Our leaders suck ass. You really don’t want to meet them. Sorry man.
Did you just assume their gender?? Racist!
I mean transphobe!!
Whare muh linxs?
Are we shy one link? Or did we bring three too many?
And just like that, the links appeared.
Life is like a box of magic chocolates.
It’s a little elven magic!
Or, the draft function and the “schedule” button get done right…whatever.
Thank goodness, I was worried SS had kidnapped both WebDom and Banjos.
I almost had turn to reading some Vogon poetry.
If WebDom ever got kidnapped, it would be far, far worse than Ransom of Red Chief.
I don’t care for emotional delivery, but perhaps there is hope.
#Loudouncounty parents brought the FireFireFire at the school board meeting tonight.
This is a masterful takedown of #criticalracetheory
Ho ho. Twitter didn’t like that one.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will pardon anyone in the Sunshine State charged for not wearing masks or socially distancing — breaking the news live on air to a gym-owning couple who were facing jail time for defying coronavirus safety recommendations.
The Republican governor made the unexpected announcement on Fox News Wednesday as he decried county officials penalizing people.
“It’s a total overreach,” he told Laura Ingraham. “These things with health should be advisory, they should not be punitive,” he insisted.
Now extradite Foochy and Osterholm for fraud and extortion.
More good news?
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Co (TSMC), the world’s biggest chip foundry, has joined a new lobbying group dominated by top American chip developers and users, in a move that may make it harder for China to wean itself off a US-led global semiconductor supply chain.
The Semiconductors in America Coalition (SIAC), which includes 65 major players along the semiconductor value chain, announced its formation on Tuesday with the immediate purpose of pushing the American government to provide subsidies for chip manufacturing on US soil. …
According to the coalition’s website, its mission is “to help bolster America’s economy, critical infrastructure and national security by advancing semiconductor manufacturing and research in the US”. It called on US Congressional leaders to support US President Joe Biden’s CHIPS for America Act, which is aimed at bolstering America’s semiconductor industry by allocating a fund of US$50 billion.
“the immediate purpose of pushing the American government to provide subsidies”

But seriously though, moobs is in the process of shovelling money at us to build a new fab next to this one.
Good for you, bad for us…
Sorry I had to duck out so suddenly last night. I was mixing a drink and a very good friend of mine called me to tell me his wife just blind sided him with the big D (no the other one.) She’d been planning it for 6 months and the kids knew about it a few months ago. She just never told him.
Poor bastard.
That’s so shitty.
He’s upset about the whole thing but what he’s super upset about is what she was doing to the kids, essentially cornering them to get commitments to her while telling them that they couldn’t tell their father about it. People are assholes.
Yeah, that’s a total betrayal. Hopefully the kids will someday realize how they were unfairly manipulated.
The level of conniving manipulation required to say to yourself “I’m done with this marriage, but I’m gonna stick around for 6 months pretending that everything’s okay in order take sure I get the best of this and he gets screwed” is simultaneously horrifying and particularly mundane.
What a miserable cunte. He’s well rid of her, but it sucks about the kids.
That’s about as shitty as it gets.
And the kids never told him either?
Ouch. Sorry about your friend. That is shitty.
That really is awful. Can I ask how old the kids are?
16 and 14. Boy and girl. Boy figured out what mom was doing and spilled the beans while they were arguing. Daughter is a full on koolaid drinker in the Seattle public school system and has all of the ridiculous stereotypical negatives associated with it. Father works 50-80 hrs a week. American dream kind of guy. Built his house with his own two hands kind of guy. Just shitty all of the way around. I think the son will be fine and the girl will eventually figure out how much she’s been living in the land of the crazies.
Damn
Fuck.
Parental Alienation Syndrome?
Perhaps we Glibs could help him find a lawyer; perhaps on the forum?
Scary
After Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., was ousted from House GOP leadership Wednesday, she expressed dismay about how her fellow Republicans who criticized former President Donald Trump after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol now embrace his “big lie” about the 2020 presidential election.
“It’s a scary thing,” Cheney said in an exclusive interview with NBC’s “TODAY” co-host Savannah Guthrie when asked how Republicans who chose not to remove the Wyoming Republican from leadership in February now supported taking that action.
“For reasons that I don’t understand, leaders in my party have decided to embrace the former president who launched that attack,” Cheney said. “And I think you’ve watched over the course of the last several months, the former president get more aggressive, more vocal, pushing the lie.”
Poor old attention whore doesn’t want to a normie. She’s better than you.
If more blood on her hands is “better than me” then yes.
Sure, there was nothing at all unusual about the election, nor about the people in power crushing any mention of anomalies and fighting like hell to avoid any real investigation.
The “big lie” refers to people that believe that Jan 6th was an insurrection right? The fact that the heiress to the war machine is being made to be a sympathetic person in the mainstream press is sickening.
Asked three times if she would consider running for president in 2024, Cheney dodged the question but did not rule out a White House bid.
“Right now I am very focused on making sure that our party becomes again a party that stands for truth and stands for fundamental principles that are conservative,” said Cheney, who said that Trump “must not ever again be anywhere close to the Oval Office.”
Cheney said Trump is clearly responsible for the Jan. 6 riot and said that the Department of Justice should include the former president in its investigation of what unfolded.
Bless her heart.
fundamental principles that are conservative
I.e. being ever so slightly to the right of the far left, I presume.
On her knees fluffing any warboner in sight.
Trump refused to get his warboner on and was brokering real peace in the Middle East. I suspect that’s her real beef with him.
I hope she does. She won’t even make it to Super Tuesday.
She will need something to do after 2022.
Get that sweet, sweet Lincon Project cash?
Well that does qualify her for at least Vice President.
Cheney said Trump is clearly responsible for the Jan. 6 riot
I guess this big lie isn’t the one she means.
“fundamental principles that are conservative”
Can she name any?
KILL! KILL! KILL!
Pro 2nd amendment, anti abortion, pro business…I mean I dig that you guys hate her, I don’t care much for her myself, but claiming she isn’t a traditional conservative right down the line is absurd.
“Meh”
Fair enough.
I guess what I’m getting at is the larger question of whether or not the modern beltway GOP is inherently conservative at all.
It isn’t. “We aren’t the Democrats” may be true, but it hardly is anything to get excited about.
“Socialism at the speed limit”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will pardon anyone in the Sunshine State charged for not wearing masks or socially distancing — breaking the news live on air to a gym-owning couple who were facing jail time for defying coronavirus safety recommendations.
“Nazi! Fascist! Autocrat! Science-denier!”///TheLeft
Glad he’s doing that. There are some serious law and order types that can’t wait to wreck your day in Florida. Even when I was on the ferry to Dry Tortugas I was told to watch out for the mask nazis.
I’m starting to think that you guys are leading me astray. All your anti-vaxxer bs.
How can I think otherwise when Minnesoda Public Radio is telling me that giving The Cure to Jr. High kids is totes cool?
You will be shocked to find that all the gung ho teens who were quoted were
drama queensteen age girls.Child abuse.
But what the fuck. We already load the poor kids up with dozens of other vaccines and unnecessary meds. No wonder they are so messed up.
You don’t understand Tundra, it’s a VACCINE. By definition, it prevents illness, it doesn’t cause it.
If it caused illness, it wouldn’t be called a VACCINE.
“It’s a vaccine and a breast enhancement”
I’m actually in the “Not too worried about the vaccine” camp. Wasn’t worried at all to get it myself.
What bugs me beyond belief is this idea that young people should get it. And the Top Men are completely abusing young people’s natural credulity to coerce them into getting a shot that has more downside than upside. Like you said Tundra (there’s a phrase I never expected to say) it is child abuse.
Of course if you look at the pic of one of those girls who is excited to get the vaccine, you think “maybe getting the vaccine is a good idea for her morbidly obese ass”, but that is another conversation.
So much this. That age group is statistically immune. If a kid has a comorbidity it’s a different discussion.
We have good friends where their one son is severely immunocompromised so the entire family is getting vaccinated. Makes sense to me.
That seems like a rational risk return trade-off,
Child abuse.
Yup. Children don’t need a vax for a respiratory illness (which functionally don’t exist anyway since such viruses mutate constantly…), they need exposure to develop an immune system response.
*nods*
Can you save me a seat at the re-education camp?
I’d like to see his work and specific numbers from this quack.
I ruffled some feathers at work yesterday by loudly saying that giving kids under 18 the vaccine was straight up child abuse. About 25% of the people privately told me that they agreed, but there were quite a few Loud and Proud Fauci Fans who were aghast that anyone wouldn’t support mandatory 100% vaccinations.
It’s a simple calculation: risk of covid vs risk of new, unapproved, experimental vaccine that, oh by the way, DOESN’T EVEN PREVENT INFECTION!
We’re fucked.
No vaccine “prevents infection.” Your immune system can’t work on things until they get inside your body.
You’re right. But we’re still fucked.
I got a three-point plan that’s gonna fix everything. #1: We got this guy Not Adahn. #2: He’s got a higher IQ than any man alive. And #3: He’s gonna fix EVERYTHING.
Idiocracy arrived a lot sooner than I thought it would.
I kno, rite?
My obscure point was that I wish more people understood basic scientific points like that.
Sheesh. Sorry, I meant ‘spread’.
Democrats, they’ve got what lampposts crave.
Hello there
“vaccine equity directorl
*facepalm*
VT and the City of Burlington are setting up “No Wypipo Allowed” vaccination sites. For equity.
So Tuskeegee was just an early equity effort?
What percentage of the US population even knows what happened at Tuskeegee? Less than one percent?
“I know, I know, I know” Raises hand excitedly while Teacher Tundra scans the classroom, pretending not to notice.
Whispers to the kid in front, “These black pilots got infected with some disease that caused patriotism”
One thing that I would love to read about but no journalist seems interested in finding out for some unknown reason, is what the rates of vaccine hesitancy are in black communities.
Obvious violation of the constitution, but nobody give a shit anymore. Funny how Democrats are still in favor of segregation.
Let’s do a controlled study on this. Half of the kids get covid vaccine. The other half get saline shots. They all get vaccine cards.. Then we’ll measure any difference in
Maybe, just maybe, the credential itself is all they need.
The seasonal flu is more dangerous to teenagers than Covid, yet we don’t aggressively push teens to get yearly flu vaccines. And with novel vaccines under an EUA with no knowledge of potential long term effects, especially for young people, there is more risk to them from the vaccine than from Covid.
???
Just wait. Mandatory flu vaccines will be next. Along with a bunch of other covid related stuff to permanently reduce influenza rates.
The EUAs will end and the FDA (likely) grant full approvals at some point. probably sooner than later.
“Some”
That’s epic data analysis. Thanks, scientist.
I don’t know your Holiness, all the cheerleaders at my high school wore Cure t-shirts.
No good will ever come of allying with the Greens.
Yeah, I don’t get that. I mean, I get why they have to do it if they want any say at all, but still… yuck.
It’s like the American two party system, except the coalition’s here are intra-party. Think unionized auto workers in the same party with Green fanatics who want to outlaw internal combustion engines.
Or libertarian-ish people in the same party as warmongering, militarized border, drug warrior, police state folks like Cheney.
Better to have some influence than suffer people in power who you don’t agree with on anything.
Greens, Socialists and Libertarians?
I think I know how the pie gets divided.
2/3rds for the Socialists, 4/9ths for the Greens, the Libertarians make up the rest.
The Libs get the rest, decided democratically

It’s hard to pick a favorite. Maybe the palette jack guy…oh, wait the fork truck one near the end. That’s the one.
My favorite is one guy shoveling out of the truck while the other guy shovels into the truck.
Obviously a government shovel-ready infrastructure job.
The skid steer at the very end. Although they were all pretty cringy.
I could laugh at some of those, while others hit too close to home. Guess what happened when I tried to load my ZRX1100 on to a trailer once. It might have involved a new oil pan, 4 hours of repairs, and 3 quarts of oil.
As mentioned in the evening links last night, Ohio now has a good news/bad news situation going on.
Good News: All ‘vid related health mandates (with the exception of those covering nursing homes) will expire on June 2nd.
Bad News: DeWine (Party of Fiscal Responsibility – OH) is setting up a state wide lottery to push vaccination. Five lucky registered voters who have submitted their vaccination paperwork to the state will get $1,000,000; while five lucky 12-17 year olds who have gotten their vaccinations will win a full ride to a prestigious state college (their choice).
Restaurants, stores, and other locations will be free to keep distancing, mask requirements, and the like as they see fit. Current word from most bars is that the dividers at the bar seating will be the first to go, while the concert venues are going to proceed with the social distant shows they’ve already booked and sold tickets for. I have no issues with either of those decisions.
This has to be the fallout form the Newsom recall and his moves to end masking in mid-June.
For once, I can say “Thank you California”
I think it has more to do with the fact that the state legislature had already passed a law (over DeWine’s veto) that would allow them to strip all of the rules anyway that was going to take effect on June 23rd. Even the Democrat local papers published some paywalled editorials saying it was time for the restrictions to end. He is up for re-election next year after all.
so, I can stop by anytime in june now?
It’ll be up to private businesses after June 2nd.
Do you have much of a bead on how hotels are leaning?
Unfortunately I don’t. Nor do I know if some counties may try to enact their own mandates now that the state wide one is ending.
🙁
Good News: All ‘vid related health mandates (with the exception of those covering nursing homes) will expire on June 2nd.
Including face diapers?
/reads article
YES!
I like this.
I’d like to think the legislature strong-arming him played a part.
Wolf in PA said his Lil Rona orders, except for the face diaper mandate, will expire on May 31st. The face diaper mandate will expire whenever 70% of adult Pennsylvanians are fully vaccinated. Folks in PA: Vote on the 18th for the constitutional amendments to shut that asshole down.
“Es passiert jetzt!”
Let me guess- more masks, more lockdowns, more iron fisted authoritarianism
An independent panel said the COVID-19 pandemic was avoidable if world leaders acted appropriately, The Hill reported.
Former New Zealand prime minister Helen Clark and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, a former president of Liberia, were part of a panel called the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response, and they have criticized global leaders and demanded better actions in the future.
The Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response (IPPPR) is a team of experts assembled by the World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus last May to examine the pandemic.
The review from IPPR stated that efforts to stop the spread were inconsistent and underfunded. The report also chastises the alert system for being slow and subdued
The world did not panic hard enough.
Everybody at the WHO should be flayed alive and burned at the stake.
Complete fantasy.
The chance to “stop” it ended with those researchers in Wuhan.
better actions in the future
Let a virus that is a mild flu (if that…) for the average, relatively healthy individual burn through the population and take extra precautions to protect those known to be susceptible to the flu.
What do I win?
Definitely not a Presidential election.
“We like to say ‘peoplekind’.”
As Penn State News detailed, the Senate Committee on Curricular Affairs passed a resolution for the “Removal of Gendered & Binary Terms from Course and Program Descriptions.”
“The University, as with most all academic institutions world-wide, has grown out of a typically male-centered world,” reads the resolution’s introduction. “As such, many terms in our lexicon carry a strong, male-centric, binary character to them.”
The resolution asserts that “terms such as ‘freshmen’ are decidedly male-specific, while terms such as ‘upperclassmen’ can be interpreted as both sexist and classist.” Terms such as “junior” and “senior” are supposedly “parallel to western male father-son naming conventions, and much of our written documentation uses he/she pronouns.”
Don’t tell them about “master-cylinder” and “slave-cylinder”.
You mean leader-cylinder, follower-cylinder?
/I wish I was joking.
How about a Dear-leader-cylinder and a Comrade-cylinder?
Privileged cylinder / oppressed cylinder
ding! ding! ding! We have a winner!
It has always struck me as odd to routinely use the word “slave” to describe anything. Main cylinder versus secondary cylinder seems like a better rebranding.
At least in the context where I’ve seen it (computers), the naming made sense. The master controlled the behavior of the slaves. Could any number of other names be used for that relationship? Of course. Do I want to use those other names? No, mainly out of spite.
A few months back we got a style sheet for our work product to make sure we weren’t using “oppressive terms”. Master/slave is out. Leader/follower is in.
So fucking tedious.
I wonder what male and female connectors are called now.
I’m not terribly bothered by that.
I’m more bothered by the same wokeness in git where ‘master’ is now out too, but there is no ‘slave’, and ‘master’ has never had the slavery connotation. But it’s still TRIGGERING to somebody so perfectly good language has to go out the window.
I have heard complaints from “serious people” that master always invokes slavery even when applied to master craftsmen.
I wonder what male and female connectors are called now.
Dick and cunt. “Hey, could you pass me one of those 1/4″ TRS cunts?”

Fuck.
Now do Boba Fett’s ship.
“The situation we find ourselves in today could have been prevented. An outbreak of a new pathogen, Sars CoV-2 became a catastrophic pandemic that has now killed more than 3.25 million people, and continues to threaten lives and livelihoods all over the world,” Sirleaf said. “It is due to a myriad of failures, gaps and delays in preparedness and response. This was partly due to failure to learn from the past.”
Fuck off, you lying cunt.
that has now killed more than 3.25 million people
Show your work.
She’s correct about the “failure to learn from the past”, just not in the way she thinks that failure happened
My morning:
Wife: “The minivan is hesitating when accelerating from a stop.”
Me: “I haven’t noticed it but I’ll check.”
Me: *accelerates hard into turn and dumps full mug of breakfast smoothie onto the floorboards*
That’s rough. I can take the shitty things I know are coming at me… but those little things… those are the hardest.
From a stop =/= into a turn
Well it is when you’re at a stop sign turning left.
“Stop” sign
Just like all the people we have taken into protective custody.
It’s really something how evil the people running that place are. Like, Bond villain level.
And nothing else happened.
If we film a few more features there under their rules and buy more slave labor products, maybe they will change.
I think you just lit a signal.
Short of labels disclosing “this product was made by unpaid slave labor”, dunno how anyone would even know not to buy something made that way.
Nike?
five lucky 12-17 year olds who have gotten their vaccinations will win a full ride to a prestigious state college (their choice).
Oberlin.
Our leaders better pray every night that there are no long term effects from these treatments.
I think we’ve long since passed the point where the leaders will face any repercussions. The willingness of urban America to go along with the Covid lockdowns, curfews, and mandates disabused me of that notion. Dems and the eGOP are carefree in their strongholds.
The citizens who would hold the pols accountable don’t live in areas where the pols are pushing vaccines.
And I honestly don’t think they’d really care if the shots caused sterility or MS or autoimmunity… What we’ve seen in the past 3+ years is that they would gladly lay waste to the continent if it meant they got to rule the rubble. The subhumans that roam Deploraland are amusing to abuse but ultimately their existence is expendable.
They are non-essential.
That, and being up for reelection every two years, coupled with an electorate whose individual vote is wildly unlikely to be the deciding vote, incentivizes short term “one marshmallow” thinking.
Oberlin is a private school, not a state run school.
Ohio has a prestigious state college?
That’s the joke.

It’s all Bull.
*narrows gaze*
I’m no copsucker and Bob Kroll is a complete asshole but….
This seems like a very bad/vindictive idea from the Minneapolis City Council.
*That is literally the entire article
I’m less concerned about Kroll than I am about the bad precedent this sets. And I wonder how they think this will help them attract any decent reform minded people to work as a cop?
They don’t want decent reform minded people. They want to be standing as kings and queens over a pile of ashes and dead bodies.
Why should a city pay to defend someone sued in their capacity as leader of a private organization?
Good point.
I’d say that the expectation/tradition was that the City would help defend people who were working for them and doing what the city council had told them to do. That might be wrong, but that was definitely what everyone expected.
Caving and throwing a guy to the mob isn’t going to help your Indeed.com job listing get more applicants.
NYT headline- “Experts call for sweeping reforms…” which looks like more coverage of that WHO self-aggrandisement.
My list of “sweeping reforms” starts with defunding the CDC and putting every “public health expert” in America on chain gangs cutting brush.
But what to do with the brush, Brooks? They would need to either burn it, or something. If only there was some sort of equipment which could reduce a brush pile to smaller, manageable chunks.
Oh fine than we’d have CPSC with videos and proposed regulations to reduce the threat from stupid people using woodchippers just like safer gas cans.
“A lawsuit has been filed against President Joe Biden’s administration for prioritizing restaurants and bars owned by women and minorities in its COVID-19 relief package, arguing white men are being ‘pushed to the back of the line’ for aid for their eateries.
The lawsuit, which names U.S. Small Business Association Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman as the defendant, was filed by a conservative legal outfit on behalf of Antonio Vitolo, the owner of Jake’s Bar and Grill in Harriman, Tennessee.
The suit comes after the Biden administration’s American Rescue Plan Act established the $28.6 billion Restaurant Revitalization Fund – which the SBA said ‘would only process and fund priority group applications’ from May 3 to May 24.
Those ‘priority groups’ include businesses majority-owned by women, veterans, or those who are ‘socially and economically disadvantaged’ such as applicants ‘who have been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias,’ the SBA said.”

Cultural bias?
This racist shit is really getting under my skin.
I assume there is a business opportunity here for enterprising “women, veterans, or those who are ‘socially and economically disadvantaged”. Start some kind of investment corp where you take 51% ownership of business on paper and get some percentage of the filthy gov lucre as compensation. The contract could be written so the true owner makes all decisions, collects all profits, and can buy back all ownership shares at any time for a buck. Maybe that’s not possible (not a lawyer) but something like that to keep ownership a shell.
Small, minority prime with large subcontractor exists in government contracting to take advantage of restricted contracts or for bonus points on unrestricted contracts.
There is an entire industry of those types of corporations.
And based on my interactions at least half of them are fully incompetent.
+1 Willie Wilson.
Uh, see it all the time with the wife as the head of the company and the husband actually runs the business. If you’re running a business together already and you’re in an industry where that’s an advantage, it’s a no brainer.
Too bad the constitution has been rendered meaningless.
The what?
It’s still there, but the FYTW amendment has gained priority over all the rest.
We used to have these laws against discrimination, but somehow it’s being practiced right out in the open today.
“Women and minority owned businesses” have been getting preferential treatment for decades.
Next case.
Oberlin is a private school, not a state run school.
But it’s so PRESTIGIOUS.
I read that as “in the state” not necessarily “state-owned”. Whatever, killjoy.
Fuck Keith Oberlin, am I right?
The only thing I have related to Oberlin is my Gibson’s hat that I got during their lawsuit.
Oberlin should pay their judgement then go out of business.
As a local (within 50 miles) of Green Bay who had access to season tickets within the family until a year ago (even now, I could get them but it would be tougher) I’ll put in my 2 cents on the Rogers thing.
1. the story that created all this buzz was one from Adam Schefter, and he admitted in several interviews, he didn’t have a source for the story, it was his conjecture based on what has happened earlier.
2. Brett Favre. This is something that needs to be addressed. Yes, Brett Favre was a pain in the ass of the organization. They were ready to move on, and he wasn’t…Or was he? There were 3 or four years where Favre kept waffling on if he was going to retire, including his final year in Green Bay when he actually did retire and the team moved on to Rogers, only for Brett to come out of retirement during training camp, when the Packers traded him to the Jets.
Afterwards it came out that the final waffle was the Packers forcing him out, and that’s why he came back with a vengeance. But I have heard no comments on the waffling the previous years, which leads me to believe it was Favre actually waffling.
3. Jordon Love. I get it was bad optics. As soon as they MOVED UP to pick a quarterback in the first round. BUT, people are still treating first round pick like the old days, the Sam Darnold days, when you had to pay first round pick BANK. That isn’t the world the NFL lives in anymore, a first round pick is barely more of an investment than a second round pick, cap wise. And one of the spots that hurt the Packers in the 3 years before? Not having a back-up quarterback that could be worth a shit. They brought in a decrepit Vince Young one of the years Rogers was injured for fuck sake. And that hits on a lesser point why the Rogers draft pick was so crazy, Favre had NEVER missed a game. Rogers has missed the majority of several seasons.
4. The GM. Really, Rogers waited his whole career with Ted Thompson, who famously never signed free agents (except Charles Woodson and Julius Peppers at the end of their careers) but gets pissed that the new GM doesn’t bring in talent? In 2019 he brought in Za’Darius Smith and Preston Smith In 2020 he signed Devin Funchess who opted out due to Covid. And during the season signed Tavon Austin to try to bolster the leagues leading offence.
5. Contract. Some have speculated that this is all about the contract, and that Rogers doesn’t want more money, but he wants long term commitment form the team that he is their guy. The only problem with this is…Rogers doesn’t seem to want to renegotiate his contract to allow the team more more money (the NFL works under a salary cap, which does make it a fixed pie) to allow the team to sign other players. He seems to want the commitment of time AND money, and then confused why the team can’t sign other talent.
Ok, now I can stop being bitchey, thanks whoever has more power than me.
I think it was because you included more than 2 links.
I know why on technical level, but I can still be upset for us all that we don’t get an adjudicator when their are trusted folks online who could do such things. Whatever. I’ve been drinking for the last 15hrs…
#3 “Rogers has missed the majority of several seasons.’
He’s missed 16 games in 13 seasons. So he’s played 92.2% of games during his run as a starter in Green Bay.
#4 – The last offensive skill first-round pick prior to Love was Rodgers himself in 2005. Jordy Nelson was a 2nd round pick in 2008. Tavon Austin? He’s never had more than 58 receptions in a season. His best yardage output was 509 yards. He hadn’t played a full season since 2016. He doesn’t move the needle.
(Full disclosure: I am a Denver Broncos fan who goes online to fight arguments about them not bringing in a ‘diva’ like Rodgers. He’s a fucking Top 5 QB.)
Our leaders better pray every night that there are no long term effects from these treatments.

No. They will demand these people lose their rank and privileges and go to jail for the rest of their life because of their seditious actions.
I didn’t like when those snakes did similar with Trump and it’s not good with Biden either. If they have up close and personal knowledge fine but this is secondhand conjecture at this point. The politicization of the military in either direction is dangerous.

Yeah, 6 years ago I might have voted for him if he ran for office, now I’m more likely to beat him to death if I were to meet him.
Yep, his descent into towing the prog fascist lion has been obvious and sad.
On this he is correct and Musk is being the prog idiot. Tesla has 1.5 Billion of it’s reserves in BTC. Tesla just started accepting payment in BTC in March. Nothing has changed since then in how BTC (or Doge for that matter) come about. Shitting on BTC is not smart.

New limits are being placed on the number of free sauces Chick-fil-A customers can get with each order due to supply chain issues.
According to an email obtained by WTRF, the new restrictions limit customers to one sauce per entrée, two sauces per meal and three sauces per 30-count nuggets.
A Chick-fil-A spokesperson told TODAY Food that the change is due to supply chain disruptions, which have led to shortages of goods, ranging from refrigerators to pepperoni, during the coronavirus pandemic. A similar statement was also posted on the Chick-fil-A website.
“Due to industry wide supply chain disruptions, some Chick-fil-A restaurants are experiencing a shortage of select items, like sauces,” said the spokesperson via email. “We are actively working to make adjustments to solve this issue quickly and apologize to our Guests for any inconvenience.”
The one time I ate at Chic-Filet I did not have Chic-Filet sauce. But the chicken sandwich as dry and bland, just above a microwave chicken sandwich.
The breakfast biscuits are where it’s at. The sandwiches are just meh to me as you say.
Exactly backwards. I hate to say it, because I love CFA, but McDonalds makes a better chicken biscuit. CFA’s is too dry. There chicken sandwich though…CPRM needed to get a refund, dry and bland is not a description of any I have ever had.
Interesting. They recently started to sell their sauces in grocery stores in what look to be ~15 oz size.
Hey, panic buyers. You better get your sauces while you can.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will pardon anyone in the Sunshine State charged for not wearing masks or socially distancing — breaking the news live on air to a gym-owning couple who were facing jail time for defying coronavirus safety recommendations.
Excellent.
DeSantis has come around on Lil Rona. I think he actually has had a Road to Damascus conversion. He locked down Florida, then admitted it was a mistake, and has been working to roll back all the Lil Rona Panic Bullshit.
Excellent.
A politician capable of admitting they were wrong about something? Jeez, we oughta put him in a museum…
Well good on DeSantis, definitely in my top five of tolerably OK politicians.

A Canadian energy company is continuing to operate a pipeline through Michigan despite Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D) order to shut down.
Whitmer on Tuesday ordered Enbridge Energy to stand down its oil and gas pipeline, Line 5, by May 12, saying that the pipeline in the underwater section of Line 5 is too risky to keep operating.
“These oil pipelines in the Straits of Mackinac are a ticking timebomb, and their continued presence violates the public trust and poses a grave threat to Michigan’s environment and economy,” Whitmer’s office said at the time.
But the pipeline still continued operating, according to The Detroit Free Press.
Michael Barnes, a spokesperson for Enbridge, told The Hill in a statement that the company is “operating lawfully.”
“We are operating the pipeline lawfully and following the guidance of our federal regulator, [the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration], which says Line 5 is fit for service,” Barnes said.
Whitmer should be removed from office and forcibly institutionalized, as a danger to herself and others.

Yesterday I took the youngest member of the TOK family to an open house for next year’s vocational class. She has surprisingly chosen building trades. She’s one of only three girls in the program. There are tons of opportunities, including summer work in construction for $15+ per hour, and a fast track into the carpenter’s union. I would love it if she liked it and went straight to making good money after high school instead of running up a bunch of college debt and working at Starbucks. At the very least, she will be able to build and fix stuff around the house.
Cool! Congrats.
Wish I could have done similar. Sadly, lacked both aptitude and strength.
There was nothing like this when I was in high school. The whole program is geared toward getting kids skills and certifications so they can go right into the workforce. For example, a kid could take EMT training and be employable the day after they graduate.
Dang…that is…really smart.
Sounds great. I’m guessing this will be up my son’s alley. Though he’s plenty smart, he hates school and I don’t think he’ll have any interest in college when the time comes in five years. He’s said for several years that he wants to be a mechanic.
My oldest girl did that. She got Advanced EMT as joint-enrollment in HS (homeschool). Had to wait till she turned 18, then immediately got hired as an AEMT in a neighboring county. 18 and driving an F350 ambulance with lights and sirens, and rolling up on a mix of boring and horrible. Fixing to start fire school. Plans to do it a few years and then decide about next steps.
That is fabulous. Mine has little ambition, but I was thinking about that and I have had ambitions in my life that I have not been able to achieve, so I wonder if it’s better to have none and go where life takes you or have some and be forced to go where life takes you, all the while thinking bitter thoughts.
I don’t remember your ever mentioning the what-you-call-the Mormon ministry trip abroad, so I assume that’s moot. But I still recommend travel, wherever’s safe, amenable and affordable.
A mission.
That’s not in the cards for either of my kids for reasons and besides, they each have one foot out the church door already. Both my brothers and their wives have left the church and I’m the only one in my immediate family left in the church, along with my husband.
My affection for the culture and my appreciation of the doctrine did not translate well. Plus, I was having a crisis of faith when they were small children and I was working out my own shit. I wasn’t passing that along.
Are my cheeks red. I just switched to Sanka. 😉
I kinda gathered you all weren’t too devout.
A little leisure travel, little being quite a subjective term.
No apologies! If you don’t ask, how do you find out?
My husband and I are reasonably devout, my books notwithstanding. Husband doesn’t want to go back to church until we’re maskless and at full capacity.
In our high school the biggie was to get your life saving certificate so you could scoop up a job as a life guard on one of the public beaches.
I never did it because I had multiple friends who said that while it was a good job to have when you were hung over in the morning, there was way too much hassle dealing with brats and uptight moms.
The only fun they had was ogling women and telling the little kids that it really was a rule that they couldn’t climb down the ladder from the diving tower. They had to jump.
That’s great, Kevin!
Good job on kid raising, TOK, opportunities abound for those non-traditional jobs
In the industry where I work (spray foam insulation), there’s a desperate shortage of applicators. If you want to go into business for yourself, $50k will get you started and you’ll be overwhelmed by work. License to print money.
If you want to work for someone else, $25/hr is the starting rate for the inexperienced, and it goes up to plumbing/electrician rates pretty quickly.
Question about one part foam sealant. How much will UV light affect it through a basement window? Which UV (A or B) causes breakdown or doesn’t it matter?
It’s not good against any UV. Gets brown and brittle. Moisture-cured polymeric TDI, mostly.
Thanks.
Sounds like a good program. Nice work!
Excellent! I am so happy for her!
Excellent.
Even that is freaking awesome, and the career opportunity is even better.
It is inarguable that Green fantasies are only tenable by outsourcing the environmental destruction of producing the products fundamental to a Green economy. This isn’t globally sustainable of course. Now which lie do they have to give up?
Exactly. But they obdurately cling to their fictions of “emission free” cars and non polluting wind and solar power. It’s impossible to get them to look behind the curtain.
Like a puppy that has soiled the carpet, you simply have to rub their noses in it. They won’t learn otherwise, and they have to learn.
(please don’t do this ⬆️, nor alpha rolls)
Ironically, I don’t correct a dog that way, I was just using it for the metaphor. However, in the case of humans that refuse to accept reality, vigorously rubbing their noses in it does pass muster with me.
Oh good. Please pardon.
“Do one fucking thing” because thousands of existing laws and regulations across the country apparently are not enough.
Samantha Bee, host of the TBS show “Full Frontal,” is once again devoting one of her shows to bloviating about the need for gun control, as she does on a regular basis, but this time the basic cable comedian is sure to make a difference, because she’s enlisting some of her Hollywood pals to help.
Oh, and you know she’s super serious because she’s dropping f-bombs.
“It’s gotten to the point that when a shooting does happen you can’t even call it ‘the shooting’ because there are three other shootings that happened that day. And I want to talk about it on this show. I want to talk about why the f*ck we aren’t doing anything to change things,” Bee grumbles in a new promo for Wednesday night’s show.
Like comedians do…
It’s because you’re an idiot, Samantha. That’s why.
“Change” has a different meaning than “fix”. You can change a nonworking watch with a sledgehammer. Fixing it requires understanding how all the parts work together, correctly diagnosing the problem, and undoing only the thing(s) making it inoperable. Mrs Bee is 0-3 on the latter.
“understanding how all the parts work together, correctly diagnosing the problem,”
That’s an awful lot of systemic racism in one sentence, mister.
They even make you show ID to buy a gun, which I’ve heard is the most oppressive thing ever and essentially stops minorities from doing it at all.
They can’t even get on a plane.
Just spent an hour of valuable drinking time trying to comply with H.R. yet again on their stupid phone app. Can we clear the building with a shotgun next month? Please? They’re telling us to drink water when it gets hot out. Who the fuck hires these people and what do they do all day?
Tell you take a full 30 minutes for lunch, so now we clock 35 minutes later, idiots
“Who the fuck hires these people and what do they do all day?”

Apparently these are people that couldn’t get government jobs.
Similar stupid shit. And it’s largely driven by OSHA mandates and ass covering here.
“Rebekah Jones is the reason you’ve been told by the terminally gullible that Florida is “fudging” its COVID numbers. The problem? The story isn’t true. She’s a fabulist who has been dismissed and charged with crimes almost everywhere she has gone….

“Rebekah Jones, the COVID Whistleblower Who Wasn’t
This is a story about Rebekah Jones, a former dashboard manager at the Florida Department of Health (FDOH), who has single-handedly managed to convince millions of Americans that Governor Ron DeSantis has been fudging the state’s COVID-19 data.
When I write “single-handedly,” I mean it, for Jones is not one of the people who have advanced this conspiracy theory but rather is the person who has advanced this conspiracy theory. It has been repeated by others, sure: by partisans across the Internet, by unscrupulous Florida Democrats such as Nikki Fried and Charlie Crist, and on television, by MSNBC in particular. But it flows from a single place: Rebekah Jones. To understand that is to understand the whole game. This is about Jones, and Jones alone. If she falls, it falls.
And boy does it deserve to fall…”
https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/05/rebekah-jones-the-covid-whistleblower-who-wasnt/
There appears to be very good money in telling the leftist media what they want to hear these days.
I ❤️ CCWC.
“For a year now, pretty much everyone who has criticized Jones has met the same fate as did Salemi. It doesn’t matter who they are, or what they have been arguing, the play is always the same. First, they are called a sexist or a racist or a member of the “alt-right.” Next, it is implied that they are working with Ron DeSantis or with Vladimir Putin—or, sometimes, with both. Then they are told that they hate “science”—or, if they disagree with her or expose a given lie or confirm that she does not have the qualifications or experience she claims, that they have sold out. And, finally, they are added to Jones’s “enemies” list (she really has one, and used to publish it online), and an attempt begins to get them kicked off Twitter or Substack or whatever portion of the Internet they are using to explain the ruse. Because a good number of the people Jones has targeted are not journalists or public figures, but scientists and public servants, such attacks work pretty well. If your career is in epidemiology, and your employer is a public university, there is little to be gained by attracting scandal.”

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky defended the agency’s Covid-19 mask guidance policies amid widespread criticism from lawmakers and health officials.
“These issues are complex, the science is evolving, the science is moving, and we are following the science each and every day and our guidance is evolving as the science evolves,” said Walensky during a Wednesday interview on CNBC’s “The News with Shepard Smith.”
Walensky pointed to the nation’s declining Covid cases and increasing vaccine rates. The U.S. positivity rate dropped to 3.1%, the lowest of the pandemic, according to Johns Hopkins University. Nearly 59% of adults have received at least one vaccine, according to the CDC.
The CDC chief also signaled to host Shepard Smith that guidelines will be changing soon, following the agency’s endorsement of administering Pfizer and BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine to adolescents aged 12 to 15.
“Today we have vaccines available, now for 12 to 15-year olds, [the agency’s guidelines are] going to have to evolve again, and I’m really enthusiastic about updating them very soon,” Walensky said.
Smith also asked Walensky why, if everyone in his office was vaccinated, they still had to wear masks indoors. She explained that the CDC wants to ensure that the vaccines are working against all of the variants circulating in the U.S., and that “you’re not an asymptomatic carrier if you’re vaccinated” before completely doing away with masks in indoor settings.
Nice doublespeak, hon.
Which specific mask policies, you ask? Shut up.
Still waiting for the science that shows masks do anything.
They do something. They make it hard to breathe and they make people look stupid.
Also fog up your fucking glasses.
No shit. Was pointing that out to my wife yesterday. Getting ready to walk in a store, dons mask, then I have to take off my sunglasses and get blasted in the eyes by this big fireball in the sky.
Oddly, my sister-in-law got sudden news that her state beurocracy job will return to in person work starting in june. #science!
Can they say science enough in a sentence. That is how someone who is steeped in their religion normally speaks.
I actually can replace the words and I would think it came from my grandmother when I was young.

– An urge to punish the unbelievers and heretics

Why everyone from Elon Musk to Janet Yellen is worried about bitcoin’s energy usage
This is their backdoor to outlawing crypto.
They keep the price of Nvidia GPUs too high. That’s for sure.
Nvidia does that all by themselves. #AMD4LIFE
I’ll stick with Nvidia anyway.
I’ll buy what’s best. Currently AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU.
But Nvidia has seriously pissed me off with the shortage with what they CAN control, If they really do make yet another SKU they are going to really piss consumers off.
NVIDIA has officially lost its mind…
Uggh AMD driver support is awful. I’ll stick with Nvidia. Although Intel has a GPU coming up…
Yes Driver support for AMD has been poor, because the industry favored Nvidia. But since now it’s not a big deal, because the industry realized #AMDLIVESMATTER
Has AMD decided to support Linux yet?
I can resale my 1060 for probably more than what I bought it for cause that is the goto for mining. Go figure.
I have a 1080ti. Waiting for a 3080 hoping to offload the 1080 for a good chunk of change.
Same! Will not pay over $1k for a 3000 series.
Newegg shuffle has mostly mrsp pricing, but they are also doing a lot of bundles now where you have to buy some other crap (power supply, mobo, memory, monitor, etc.) you don’t need to get the card.
I looked the other day and all I saw was slim pickings.
It’s different everyday. Decent amount today, but no 3080’s.
Thx. I’ll keep checking.
Looking forward to getting to get some piece of hardware that has awful reviews. My favorite was the power supply that had 100s of one and two star reviews and liked to destroy your equipment.
Yeah, I’m sticking with my 1080ti for now. Does then job and the new cards are just too expensive. Waiting for the next big Bitcoin crash I suppose.
ETH, you need ETH to crash.
And all this time, I thought the ether was just pseudo science.
They don’t though. No one’s used GPUs to mine bitcoin in like a decade. It’s totally not profitable.
That’s not true. They were using them at least a couple of years ago when I bought my current GPU. It was almost impossible to buy a new one at that time.
I believe Ethereum and not BitCoin is driving Nvidia usage.
Bitcoin is pretty much ASIC only. It’s not profitable to mine BTC w/ a gpu and hasn’t been for a while. The game is mining ETH or another altcoin and turning that into BTC if that is what you are after. NiceHash effectively does this for you.
They all look alike to me. I was surprised that the government has not shut them all down yet. Then I figured out they’re just going to take over one of them to use in their universal ID program and shut down all the rest.
Bitcoin is not even profitable to mine with an ASIC these days.
You can mine shittier currencies with a GPU rig, but bitcoin is not the culprit. And wasn’t a few years ago either.
You can’t mine Ethereum w/ GPU rigs either.
I suspect the whole “crytocurrency is to blame for our GPU shortage” is mostly an exaggerated narrative anyway. You notice no hard evidence is ever given that it’s the cause?
BTC you can make a couple of bux a day w/ an asic that you can stand to have somewhere in your house and doesn’t require 240v, so it’s true that it’s mostly commercial scale.
ETH was profitable on gpus at $2k. It’s nutz at $4k.

How does bitcoin compare to the military?
No one knows if that’s true anyway. The calculations are super nebulous.
A web comic (now defunct) that I used to read, switched from ads to people volunteering to mine a crypocurrency to pay for the site.
Someone complained about the energy wastage, and the site owner did the calculation and per $ collected, the crypto mining used less energy than the ad serving.

They may as well. We have a couple of them around and no one that I am aware of, knows what they do. And no one cares, it’s best to just never hear anything from them and let them whack off all they want on Zoom.
So I watched that K-pop Sugarfree theme music video from yesterday’s post. Did that cause anyone else to have a seizure?
I choked on my tongue a little.
Korean pop-tarts?
Depends on your definition of “seizure”
Is compulsive masturbation the same thing as a stroke? If not, then no.
Loosening their grip?
Consensus is growing among experts that given the encouraging data, the U.S. is approaching the right time to lift indoor mask restrictions in most public settings.
“For somebody who’s already been fully vaccinated, they can wear the mask out of solidarity or in a symbolic sense, but their wearing a mask indoors is not benefiting anyone else,” explained Vinay Prasad, an epidemiologist and biostatistician at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).
“There’s an infinitesimally low probability of even having an infection that can be detected on a PCR test, let alone being able to spread it to someone,” he added.
Public health authorities were cautious about the vaccines’ ability to stop transmission back when they were first rolled out in December, because the clinical trials they went through were only designed to test their efficacy against symptomatic disease.
But accumulating data from the real world has shown that — as many immunologists had expected — the vaccines are extremely effective at preventing asymptomatic infection, said Monica Gandhi, an infectious disease physician and professor also at UCSF.

It WORKED!
Kneel before SCIENCE!
I need to hustle up and make those fake vaccination cards for me and the missus!
I hope you can edit the one Swissy has provided. Mine was given to me with my personal information blank. I was thinking to post it here but as the details which were filled in showed a US Army facility in Japan it might be problematic for most people trying to explain how that happened.
問題ない!
でも、自分のカードがある。
Wheres your rock, Houston?
I’m out. Have a happy!
Always have a happy. My happys have happy

Too Local News Lazy Edition: JR Hoell editorial on Solicitor General Daniel Will’s nomination to the NH Superior Court.
On May 6, a hearing was held on the nomination of Solicitor General Daniel Will to a position on the N.H. Superior Court bench. Last year, Will was the leading architect of a dangerous theory adopted by some New Hampshire courts; namely, that constitutional rights can be “suspended” during a state of emergency.
On April 9 of this year, a bipartisan majority of the New Hampshire House called Will’s theory “disturbing” and approved a bill to rule it out under state law.
Last week, Will had a chance to explain or repudiate this view. Instead, Will brushed off the controversy and acted like he had no idea what the House was even talking about. “I’ve never argued that the constitution can be suspended,” he told Councilor Joe Kenney. Later, he again told Kenney, “It’s never been about suspending the constitution. I have never made that argument.”
When Councilor Dave Wheeler questioned Will on the same topic, he doubled down. “What was argued was not to suspend the constitution. We never made that argument.” He continued to repeat this lie again and again throughout the recorded hearing.
So, where did the idea of suspending the constitution come from? Have groups like ReopenNH just made up the claim? The simple answer is “no.” The public record here clearly contradicts Will’s denials.

Rather hilarious coming from a magazine titled “Elle”
Girl-child is done with school. Done done done, unless you count commencement.
Now what?
Don’t have the foggiest and neither does she. I asked her what she was going to do today (her day off work) and she said, “Not. One. Thing.”
Sounds like she’s properly adulting. 🙂
Was going to post this
https://youtu.be/rp5Ad5KeSZ8
but then I saw it’s her day off and she’s already got one. So already covered.
Yep. Passed her 1-year mark at Walmart a couple of months ago.
Excellent.
Mazel tov!
Also – so sorry about your wreck, but glad you’re OK. (Still wouldn’t hurt to get checked, at least for whiplash. BT, DT.) What’s the latest re: whether the insurance company wants to total your car?
Don’t know yet. Body shop is working with the insurance company because—this is the kicker—I was already on my way to the body shop to get a door handle repaired when I got hit. So I just drove it there. It’s totally driveable; you just can’t open the doors on the passenger side. Since it’s missing a door handle on the back driver’s side too, the only door that works now is the driver door.
So since it was already headed for the body shop, I went there and left it. They’re doing the needful.
Hopefully the car can be fixed and the insurance company doesn’t get in the way too much.
Yesterday I got a 20-minute texting friendship out of witnessing a (superficial) parking lot mishap.
Me too! I love that car!
Sympathies from another teenaged-car owner.
Congratulations! ? ?

I only wish we had a pool. But no in any case. It’s been unseasonably cool this month, which I am totally okay with.
They’re way overrated IMO. Better to borrow one and bring a nice hostess gift.
As long as the instrument panel isn’t lit up or beeping at you. Can you keep it as salvage?
“Now what?”
Prepare your basement for a 40 year old child?
Oh HELL no!
Start charging room and board?
Sure, she sounds tough now, but in 20 years we’ll see how it plays out. ‘Mom, did you pay the cable bill?’.
Not quite yet. Gonna wait till she’s 18 and can work full-time.
To not be sexist I’ll ask you the same thing I asked Tundra when his daughter graduated, How much?
She’s an eight-cow wife.
That synopsis doesn’t make it clear, are we talking birthing cows, milk cows?
“Why is the Facebook Oversight Panel any less legitimate of a court than a Supreme Court where a third of its members were appointed by an unelected president and confirmed by a bloc of senators representing less than half of the country?”

I usually call these people idiots but as more and more from both sides of the aisle think this way to closer to a split we get.
Biden hasn’t appointed any Supreme Court justices.
Heh. And people also (seem to?) forget that Trump had nothing to do with Merrick Garland.
He’s just waiting for that packing thing and then he’ll appoint 20 all at one time. All of them fugly obese blue and pink haired non-binaries. It will be like a Joemala episode on steroids.
At least he doesn’t seem to have an agenda…
“How a Republican Supreme Court is Reshaping America”
Huh, how did I miss all of that?
They are reshaping by not allowing a reshaping.
Damned retaining wall! How dare it do its job.
by an unelected president
‘Muh-Russia’ is still going strong.
bloc of senators representing less than half of the country
Someone doesn’t understand the point and purpose of the Senate.
I thought calling a president “unelected” triggered Twitter’s banhammer? Was I wrong?
You’re not wrong, but Drumpf!# was never President, as he didn’t win a a majority of the popular vote. – Twitter Leagal
The stupid runs right down to the bone marrow in that one.
So much derp packed into one sentence. Impressive.
You just don’t understand how good a technocracy of unelected technocrats can be, because we haven’t tried it yet. Anything would surely be better than this capitalism invented by old white guys who owned slaves.
One has to wonder if they’re really that bone-crushingly stupid or if they’re just trying to generate traffic.
I hope mostly the latter.
I think it’s not so much that they’re that bone-crushingly stupid as that they know their target audience is that bone-crushingly stupid.
How did they manage to overlook the ROOSHUN KOLUSHUN???
Finally got the stuff we need to finish a remediation project I’d been lead on for a while.
In acknowledgement email [Upper Manager] tells [person from other team] to get it moving.
Is it irrational to feel slighted? To suddenly want to sabotage my project?
Yes?
I think my annoyance really stems from this particular manager’s tendency to favor his circle of cronies.
Recognition around here is fucked up. No notice of things that take actual hard work and are of vital importance, and a congratulations ceremony for efforts in a project that hadn’t even started yet. Finalizing the RFP doesn’t count.
Your pride in your work shouldn’t be contingent on what others think. But, then again, that’s why I can’t market myself, because I know I’m more awesome than everyoneone else, and talking about how good I am just seems petty because I’m so awesome.
That only really works when the work being done is worth doing.
I manage peoplesoft HR and e-learning environments for state employees.
My job shouldn’t exist because there shouldn’t be enough state employees to need it.
And after years and years of not getting thanks for the hard stuff and only recognized for the stuff that either wasn’t started or was half a second’s effort, it gets to me a little.
