I’ve bene running around like a headless chicken these last few weeks, so these links are going to be sparse, and mostly memes.
It’s been three years since Tony Bourdain died. He’s the one celebrity death that has ever bothered me. I never knew him, but I felt like I lost a friend, and that was his gift. That sentiment is being echoed by a lot of people, apparently.
Here’s what Bourdain and Doctor Strange have in common.
The NY Post asks: was mask wearing pointless?
Square waves are neat. “According to the European Space Agency, cross seas are also thought to have caused a large number of shipwrecks over the years, with waves that can reach nearly 10 feet high.”
Very, very cool paintings of animals and with plants. (Way cooler than it sounds)
I was disappointed to discover that working myself to the bone pulling weeds in my garden does not, in fact, count as exercise minutes on the Apple Watch. Here’s what does.
Until its closure a decade ago, this prison housed men convicted of drug offenses. Now it will grow weed?
I’m competing against delta thirders around here. A bunch of slack jawed delta thirders.
Only Deltas worry about firsts, we Alphas just laugh and make comments,

The hate map seems pretty accurate.
Indeed. Florida fits, although I’m not sure of why SC hates Ohio. Too many space memes?
I think in the last decade or so SC displaced Fla as the go-to state for old Ohioans to retire to.
I believe it’s an error in the map. It was supposed to be NORTH Carolina hates Ohio. It’s due to the “First in Flight” vs “Birthplace of Aviation” claims.
I think so.
Was mask-wearing pointless after all?
Of course it was. Virus gonna virus, after all.
But the simpletons needed a symbol that they were “doing their part” to control the uncontrollable, and politicians needed to be seen as “doing something” (insert Yes, Minister clip here), so we got mask mandates.
Whenever I was asked “Where’s your mask?,” I just reached into my pocket and showed my interrogator my nifty COVID-repelling rock.
We knew this from the beginning, add social distancing, quarantines, rate of deaths, etc. Even now some are still adding Covid deaths as an addition to the normal rate of death and get pretty much the same figures as a ‘normal’ year.
It’s sad that some many old people in nursing homes died but that’s why they are there. It’s not a spa, it’s an elephant grave yard, a one way trip.
Oh hell, we have known masks don’t do anything since the Spanish Flu. But, when push came to shove, people needed to show that they were doing something. At least some of them did.
When push comes to shove,

Speaking of masks, my prediction of Gov Kunt putting the screws to the small players came true. Again.
$8900 fine from OrOSHA for Country Bakery over on Peoria Rd for failing to require customers to wear masks and failing to display a covid hazards poster. It’s a fucking bakery out of a lady’s house. I think maybe she’s had a family member help out from time to time but it’s mostly just her. And OrOSHA is stepping in to protect her from the evil owner (herself)? Effing ridiculous.
I know that place, this is just fucking ridiculus. I hope they sue Brownshirt to the wall, what with it coming out that the masks do nothing in Fauci’s emails, but I think we are too far down the path.
This is a job for IJ.
I was wrong. They are going after bigger fish

This is clearly aimed at businesses starting to let things slide. Fucking dead enders in the state bureaucracy.
I think it’s hilarious that people are buying this “evolving” knowledge thing. Just no. We have studied masks and their effectiveness for respiratory viruses ad nauseum. We knew exactly how good they would work ( not very, if at all) and how to use them (not the way we were forced to.) Anybody who doubts this is so fucking dumb, there’s just no getting trough to them. In fact, it’s looking like the vaccine was pretty close to ready even before the virus started to spread.
but but but there were some peer reviewed scientific studies published in late spring/early summer last year that showed masks were effective, right? There must have been. They wouldn’t have just changed the narrative for no reason.
My local is a Dogfish Head brewpub. They have an interview with Anthony Bourdain (in which he mentions Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA) framed over the urinal in the men’s room, so taking a leak always gets me a little weepy.
Bourdain always seemed to have an interesting life over and above the vapid narcissism of ‘celebrity’. I miss him for that alone.
Dogfish Head SeaQuench, Love it, or I will kill you!
/JK
You ever had the Dogfish Head Perfect Disguise? It’s so fucking good…
No, I will find it, thanks!
The Dogfish Head brewery tour was interesting. They also have a distillery. I picked up some good stuff from the gift shop at the brewery.
Ayo, the distillery is worth the trip. I get a bottle of Solar Archaeology every year, and it’s usually gone too soon…
Nice.
Weird ass map, I can’t tell how we are hated, something about holes? we have a lot,
I’ve bene running…
Bene Gesserit one would presume.
Did we ever need masks?
No.
There also were people who were ticketed and publicly humiliated for not wearing a mask; businesses that didn’t enforce mask-wearing faced fines.
The people who didn’t wear masks and the businesses that didn’t enforce mask wearing did the right thing.
We still adhere to the stupid policy at work, and even there people are giving it up, like fuck this, and it’s the only place I wear one, fucking sad,
Social Distancing was a lie
Masks were a lie
Vaccinated + mask was a lie
The bat was a lie
People who got the virus still need to be vaccinated was a lie
Lesson is don’t trust any science coming from the left or government.
I’ll minimally comply, I like my job, and they put up with me,
Yeah, there are places I have to comply in order to support myself.
Lesson is don’t trust any science coming from the left or government.
Quite frankly, this episode casts doubt on the entire public health/infectious disease industry. In fact, it calls into question a lot of the methods we use to do science in this country.
My problem isn’t with science, it’s with “Science!”
Even the actual science used in furtherance of “Science!” deserves a hard look. There was a study to support just about everything. It felt a lot like the nutrition industry. “Eggs are good!” “No, eggs are bad!” “No, eggs are only good if you remove half the yolk and hard boil them!”
What % of doctors that you work with are all in on the Covid / mask stuff?
I’ve been disappointed in my sister who’s a doctor regarding this issue. She’s a hard core mask person, but thankfully she doesn’t try to preach it to others. She just has some strict rules to be around her and her family.
Since our group is mostly ER docs, many of whom saw a lot of covid deaths, they have been understandably sensitive and not making any waves. Tbh I haven’t really tried to find out privately what most other docs think. I know our Chief Medical Officer was publicly disdainful about Hydroxychloroquine, I have wondered what he thinks now that more supportive data have come out. I do have some good friend colleagues who have told me on the down low how ridiculous they thought all the lockdowns and mask nazism has been, especially the school closures, but they keep their heads down. Because we’ve all seen the public condemnation of any doc who questions things out loud.
Thanks. I haven’t asked her, but I wonder if some of her outward talk and precautions are based on not making waves. In fairness to her, the hospital she works at had a lot of covid cases last year.
At least the cake was true.
That hate maps is off.
Far more people than Massholes hate New York.
And we really don’t care about New Jersey, we just pick on them.
Yeah, they missed the major in state one we have. The bay area hates L.A. L.A. doesn’t really care one way or the other, though. Similarly, in city, the westside hates the valley, and the valley could care less.
I think the map can be summed up as “smaller media markets hate bigger media markets”.
The map is strongly aligned with traditional college football rivalries.
No doubt, esp. in the Midwest.
Same here. People in TX don’t hate Oklahoma. Oklahoma is that neighbor down the street with a mullet and all his windows covered up with duct tape. Texans pity Oklahoma. Texas hates California right now.
The OK/TX border is the South bank of the Red River, because TX lost a war. With OK.
Truth yawns, scratches its balls, pulls on its pants, and ties its shoelaces, all in a leisurely manner. Meanwhile, the lie has done several laps around the world.

I understand that suicide is the last act of a desperately ill person, but I was pretty pissed when Bourdain left his daughter behind.
Never heard of this and google led me to…
Ariane is 12 years old. She has long brown hair and blue eyes, is 4ft 11ins (1.25m) tall and weighs around 70lbs (32kgs). Her vital statistics are 29-24-30, and she wears shoes size four. Her father Anthony’s net worth was over $16 million at the time of his death, from which she will eventually benefit.
Creepy As Fuck, but OMWC might want to look into it.
eew
Vital statistics on a 12 year old? Holy fuck.
One of the rumors is that a payoff to an accuser of his girlfriend for statutory rape is what pushed him over the edge.
“Asia Argento on Tuesday issued a statement, denying she ever had an inappropriate sexual relationship with former child co-star Jimmy Bennett but explaining her late boyfriend Anthony Bourdain, afraid of “negative publicity,” personally paid out $380,000 to this “dangerous” person to make him leave them alone.”
It wasn’t just the payoff, it was Argento publicly stepping out on him that allegedly pushed him over the edge.
Still, with a 12 year old, it’s an incredibly selfish act.
Yeah, I’m not against suicide in principle but I think it’s wildy irresponsible and selfish to burden your still developing child with such an action.
Bourdain was a troubled dude and, while I liked his work, leaving his daughter like deeply tarnishes my memory of him. He kills himself over a woman, leaving his tween daughter behind. Just horrible, horrible judgement – if anything is bigger than yourself, it has to be your children.
The childless guy gets it.
Shit, I’d worry about my dog too much to top myself…
Also – you’re in your 50’s and you’re killing yourself over a girlfriend like a love-sick teenager? WTF, man (though I do wonder what prescription drugs he was on).
He hung himself, right?
When people hang themselves, I just assume they were jackin’ it.
That theory has also been brought up.

The Missouri vs Kansas hate always tickles me. I understand why it exists due to the Missouri Compromise/Civil War/Quantrill. However, it’s been over 150 years since then and our state schools are no longer in the same conference…culturally speaking, people outside the area couldn’t accurately separate us with a gun to their heads. Let it go, you silly pricks.
From previous dead thread:
It isn’t that Indy was a pedo and Gawker ruins things. it’s this transcript of a story meeting:
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2017/11/04/stop-youre-read-lucas-spielberg-discuss-indiana-jones-sleeping-11-year-old-557532/
Lucas advocates making Marion an 11 or 12 year old and Indy 25 when they had an affair that she initiated.
I’m just going to come out and say it.
I don’t care for that movie. I mean, I’ve watched portions of it here and there over the years with others but it’s not something I’m going to spool up and watch myself.
Wake me up when Deckard is a pedo and I’ll give a shit.
Rachel was under 4.
Touché 🙂
Deckard was probably under 4 years old, too.
That would make no narrative sense. Either from a storytelling or in-universe perspective. The story immediatly loses all weight and meaning if he is not human.
Blade Runner was lousy sci-fi.
Also, Phillip K. Dick never wrote anything better than mediocre.
I seem to recall really enjoying the book where the people are all hooked on playing with
dollsaction figures (the Perky Pat Playsets).Ubik and VALIS are two of the greatest post-war novels, SF or not.
I haven’t read a lot of Dick but Ubik is one I did, and I remember enjoying it & wanting to read it again.

Meh, not like it was the Capitals again. Or the hated Habs.
I hate Tampa. Am I supposed to root for the Islanders now? At least I’ll have free time every other day. I had to apply for a new Amex card after the second period to cheer myself up.
Last 5 years of exits: 1st round, 2nd round, finals, Game 7, 2nd round, 2nd round
It’s been a bit rough.
New York fans being the very worst (yes, yes you are – way to celebrate a player getting seriously injured), I can’t actually root for the Islanders.
I remember when Jets fans actually cheered about their own QB being injured in a game.

Got a question.
Assume a stock where one entity holds a large portion of the outstanding shares, but there’s a decent number circulating among other investors. There’s a rumor that one of the larger brokerages plans to short the stock. Copycat investors jump on a shorting bandwagon. Holding entity immediately starts loaning its shares to the short-sellers, then turns around and starts buying all the shares it can get ahold of on the market, causing the prise to rise, and leaving the short sellers with insufficient options to buy the shares from to return the loan than the large player, meaning they get both the higher price and the ‘rental fees’ from loaning shares to the shorters, as well as the shares in the end.
Did the large player violate any securities laws?
I dunno but my eyes glazed over just trying to read that.
/not a money whiz
No idea, what does the SEC say? A lot of it comes down to that.
Actually, my buddy is a forensic accountant for the SEC – I can ask him, if you like.
It’s up to you. It’s mostly an odd thought I had.
I’ve asked, we’ll see.
Isn’t that similar to what happened with Gamestop?
AFAIK, the short-squeeze (not enough shares to cover the shorts) was initiated by the apes on /r/wallstreetbets – only after that did institutional investors jump on that bandwagon.
As I think about it, in UnCiv’s example it will only become an issue with naked shorts – more shares are shorted than actually exist – but that’s (now) illegal. Otherwise every short position must have a corresponding share associated with it – in theory. In practice it still happends
That is what kicked off the GME frenzy – an analysis that pointed to more short sales than existing shares. It’s all still a bit murky.
I did ask:
As I thought, unless there are shenanigans, there shouldn’t be a position where “there are no shares available” – there will always be shares to cover, albeit maybe not at a price you’d like.
In your scenario my first thought is that the large player initiated to rumors. I dont know what the law is regarding that but it looks like upside-down insider trading.
“Socialism is antisemitism for intellectuals.” Theodore Dalrymple
Thought this for awhile, never heard it put that succinctly. Whenever I hear kneejerk anticapitalists inveigh against employers or landlords or bankers or investors or whatever, what I hear in my head is “JOOOOOOS.” Simplistic, one-size-fits-all, convenient excuse, and you know what, I bet a good lot of them do, in fact, despise Jewish people. It’s just gauche to hate on Jews directly, so they disguise it in what they imagine is a more studied sort of derision.
Did a Zoom actually happen? I tried the links I could find, but no dice.
Here’s mine. It’s free, so I think it’ll kick people off after an hour, but perhaps it’s better than nothing.

That sucks. We’re having a shitty week at work this week too. Our commercial folks can’t get their heads out of their asses, but they keep finding promotions up there, so…misaligned incentives, I guess.
“ supply chain conversations”

Yep. I can’t find straight legged aluminum I-beams anywhere. And steel prices, especially high strength steel, are just ridiculous.
Who would have thunk that shutting down society for a year would have poor consequences?
Did we ever need masks?
It’s a touchy, complex question. People may not want to learn that millions of us covered our faces for 15 months for no good reason after all. But asking the questions is exactly what we must do
It’s not complicated at all.
Superstitious mumbo jumbo. Talismans. Fairy stories.

I mean, I absolutely loathe this fucker, so maybe that is coloring my opinion here. But this is some outrageous shit to say. I don’t know how you hear this clown say shit like this and hold anything but utter contempt for him. He is a master at bureaucracy I will give him that, but this can’t be a good look, even to those that put him on a pedestal.
“Attacks on me, quite frankly, are attacks on science,” Fauci told MSNBC’s Chuck Todd. “If you are trying to, you know, get at me as a public health official and a scientist, you’re really attacking not only Dr. Anthony Fauci, you’re attacking science, and anybody that looks at what is going on clearly sees that. You have to be asleep not to see that.”

It’s so infuriating I need to focus on other things. Well, time to read the kids a bedtime story for a while. How about that race on Sunday? Another good one. This is a good piece on what happened to Hamilton at the end.

That was a great race – shocked nobody went out on 15 after all the excitement during qualy.
I gave an out loud “oh no!” when Max blew that tire and then a minor cackle when Lewis screwed up – not that I hate him, he’s just the world’s most boring champion.
I read that article earlier – straight-up screw up by Hamilton.
Yeah, I don’t hate him either, he irks me more than anything and it gets boring to watch him win all time. He is one of the all time best drivers, he just very very rarely makes much of a mistake. And on those times he can usually recover. Hope he keeps it close for the top spot this season, I think he may ultimately come out on top, hard to bet against Mercedes. He drives like Floyd Mayweather fights.
He drives like Floyd Mayweather fights.
Very well put. You have to respect the skill, but it doesn’t make for an exciting race.
That’s why I’m partial to Verstappen, he takes those risks. There has been some great races so far, excited as to how the season plays out.

It would be great if one of his hands had a mind of its own.
Jeff Tucker, laying down some truth. He has been on his game in the last year with the Vid reaction. AIER has been a voice of dissent from the orthodoxy of the wisdom of Science! since this started.
“Lockdowns shattered the social contract at the expense of the working class and the poor, all to the wild celebration of the mainstream media and people who mostly identify as politically left wing (and this was likely for political reasons).
This is the true story of lockdowns. We must deal with it, and allow our understanding of ideological categories to adapt in light of it. The champions of the lockdowns, who are still with us, are not friends of the poor, minorities, or the working class but elite intellectuals and professional-class elites who tagged others to be their sandbags to protect themselves against the floods of pathogenic exposure which the ruling class neither wanted nor believed that they deserved.”
That last part sounds like a good description of my brother.
The biggest supporters of lockdowns were certainly the class that could afford it.
Yep..architect, so no impact to him there. Secondary job was the only thing that was affected and that is a professor.
A year ago while we were drinking and getting at each others’ throats like we usually do, his solution was that the military should be used to enforce a two-week nationwide stay at home order. Odd coming from someone who told me Trump was a dictator.
That is excellent. Phil Magness has written some great pieces at AIER too.
Hello late night Glibbies. In for the long haul pushing software so people don’t put two planes in the same place at the same time.
As former, and hopefully future, frequent flyer thanks for doing it.
Watching and listening to a tracon is really boring until a pilot doesn’t do what was asked of them or a controller doesn’t pay attention. Over the past 10 years I have seen what happens and what doesn’t get reported in the news and sometimes even though it is little software generated graphics on a screen that represent planes I cringe at some of the missteps people do.
Automation of course makes it better, in and out of an aircraft.
I think worst, beside an accident, was a controller that put a departing 737 through the jump zone for parachuting just outside of Vegas. Luckily no one was hit but still…crazy.
I’m picturing the worst case scenario. Yuck.
Have you considered that not putting two planes in the same place at the same time may be a sign of white supremacy? Or at the very least a symptom of whiteness.
Do better.
it’s certainly Biplanophobic!
Here, I made a new flag.

oh damn it. This one:

When I attempted this software maintenance last week it took me 3 hours to get a quarter of the system done and I had to fallback to previous versions. Today, reattempting it I am done with half the system in 2 hours. What the hell man….now I gotta milk out the last half of the system since I am scheduled through the night.
Just spend time pontificating on sundry topics here on Glibs. That should pad it out nicely!
I could spend my time in worse ways.
I got up at the ass crack of dawn today (4:30 PDT) to finish up a presentation I have to give tomorrow to a DOD customer. I should have had it complete by yesterday but the problem with being back in person at work is that it’s a non-stop parade through my door.
The folks dropping by aren’t looking to waste time and shoot the breeze (for the most part); they want my opinion on technical and non technical issues. So of course I want to help even though I don’t have a charge code for staff psychologist.
My long- held belief that men and women don’t necessarily have inherently different thinking / brain processes has been shattered by the reality of managing teams of male engineers. Some of these guys really do need a social/ emotional interpreter.
Three of them that report to me now have openly told me that they will quit if they get assigned to a manager other than me. It will be interesting to see what the genius senior leadership team rolls out for a restructuring….if they put me into the Specialty Engineering pool and take away my direct reports, a lot of talent will potentially walk out the door.
May wiser heads prevail…
Since we are basically down to one technician per group in our building, any time someone sees that I am in my office, it becomes a moth to a flame. Like you, most are relevant conversations but I get the feeling that people are just glad to see someone other than their spouse.
Well, at least my application for a detail promotion was accepted and I am on a referral list. Next up, stupid phone interviews. I have been on both sides of those in the agency and they are terrible.

I made it to work on time despite the dude laying face down in the middle of the interstate. 4 lanes blocked, couldn’t tell what happened. So, doing better than some I’d say.

My commute is a 2 lane highway, with almost no traffic, some days I’m the only car on the road for 20 miles, pretty cool compared to Cali.
That is pretty cool. The most I can make is about 5 miles, and that’s at 4:15 in morning. I sometimes imagine I’m in an episode of Life After People.

And WRT the upside-down table saw guy from the previous article- I shared the link with a wood-working friend of mine. He remarked “there could be some genius to his idiocy. Depending on the blade length/depth, he could be cutting 6-7 boards at once. Of course that efficiency is offset by the time spent in the ER.”
File this under things that seem like a good idea until you lose a hand. Points for ingenuity though.
IIRC, one of Tom T’s friends was cutting his grass once when he thought he’d pick up the mower to trim one of his bushes. I think he may have made a mess of a fingertip or two, which is especially bad for a bass player.

It’s a 10″ jobsite Dewalt table saw cuts just over 3 1/4″ a full depth, a standard 7 1/4″ circular saw will cut almost 2 1/2″ at best he’s cutting one or two extra sheets, also if that was the plan he could just by a 10″ circular saw. My guess is someone forgot /broke the company circular saw and this was improvisation. Always have a back up circular saw.

Shrugs. He found a way. Reminds me of me.
Agreed, I’m just saying it was most likely more necessity than inspiration.
I clamped boards to the patio and ran 30 degree offset on 8 foot 2×4 when I built daughters green house. I had been drinking but it worked. That greenhouse frame still stands today, even after a move to another Daughter’s property. Sharp blade is the key.

How goes it?
Howdy
Morning.
4:00 AM and it’s getting light out. I love this time of year.
I came to work when the sun was setting and now I will be here when it rises. I am beat.
Sorry, Friend.
It’s OK. You’re like us.
We live by night.
Blah. I can’t sleep in daylight.
No siesta for you?
On the plus side, I’ve never been snuck up on by an army either.
present and accounted for….ignore my BAC
No drivin’, time for thrivin’!
Yes, yes it is.
This one time I was driving home and got pulled-over by a dyslexic cop.
He tried to give me an IUD.
Was it safe?
So one of the idler wheels for the belt on beloved Tacoma is whinging. I looked up a few ways to try diagnosing which one was problematic. Everyone of them was stupid and dangerous. Attach a cut off gallon jug to your longest screwdriver and start poking about while the engine is running. Tomorrow I am going to cut a piece of heavy garden hose, stuff one of my funnels into it and listen to each one in turn, Ear horn. This way, I don’t get a 20″ screwdriver through the skull and the worst that will happen is maybe a welt across the face or I need to cut another length of hose. Sometimes those “self-help” videos aren’t helpful…
Can you live stream it?
They’ve been begging me to do “Night Of The Janitor” for quite some time.
All you gotta do is get a spray can of lube like wd40 and, using the tube, spray a squirt right at the bearings of each pulley. It’ll shut right up with a spritz. Personally, I’d change the idler and the tensioner and the belt all at once. They’re not crazy expensive and the labor is almost the same.
Aww, I sorta liked when the truck sounded turbo-charged… I’ve no interest in changing that all out because physical limitations. I’ve got something going on nerve-wise.
I’ll do that today. Thanks, Friend!

It’s a good thing they can sue the manufacturer if they get messed up by it, right?

“Can I get it put back together?” is a serious question.
I’m fit as a fiddle but sometimes my legs stop working. Especially when I tire or drink too much. It’s troubling.
If I drink too much everything stops working.
*You are suffering from neuropathy. You need to see a doc and find out the cause of it. There are lots of causes and many of them are treatable.
I’m off to a good start.
