Does anyone else come across a phrase that becomes so clichè you just want to hit the next person that says it?
This is my review of 1912 Brewery Then I’ll See You in Helles:
What phrase am I talking about? The old saying used constantly associated with libertarians: “your right to swing a fist ends at the tip of my nose.” On the surface it sounds like a decent enough description of NAP coming from people ironically accusing libertarians of making nothing but easy nostrums about complex issues.
Taken literally, (shadow boxing aside) few are walking around swinging fists without the explicit intent of hitting a random passerby. Even figuratively with the example of dumping sewage in the river, the person doing it isn’t doing it because they want everyone downstream to drink their sewage. Thats where part of the dishonesty in the phrase stems from: the action taken is a conscious decision with a specific, intended result. My motive in doing said action is irrelevant, because the aggrieved already ascribed my motivation to do the action as malicious or out of sheer ignorance.
The issue is people that use this phrase are only using it as a convenient way to justify why I don’t have a right to _____. In effect, everything becomes a nose. People want to use a walkway on your property to get to a beach? Nose. Want to drive a hundred head on a public owned grassland that’s overgrown and otherwise not used? Nose. Want to use a toilet that actually works? Nose. Need to visit New York City anytime soon? Nose.
All of which makes perfect sense given that the most likely origin of the phrase was the 19th century temperance movement:
The only leading argument urged by the anti-prohibitionists in this campaign for keeping open the bar-rooms, is personal liberty. A great man has said, “your personal liberty to swing your arm ends where my nose begins”. A man’s personal liberty to drink whisky and support barrooms ends where the rights of the family and the community begin.
As it turns out there is another old saying people use regarding sticking your nose into something. Its a damn shame nobody remembers the other nasal idiom.
Another Helles? Yes. I’m glad to see summer beer style in my home state is gravitating away from the ubiquitous IPA. I found this to be a nice alternative to the Kölsch that tends to take up the non-IPA space in these parts. This one is simple, light, crisp, and as a bonus sums up my disposition should somebody decide something else of mine suddenly turns into their nose. 1912 Brewery Then I’ll See You in Helles: 3.2/5

I seem to recall several hurricanes while I’ve been at my current job.
Ii assume they are using first landfall to make them sound made rare.
Hurry, there’s a hurricane!
Unlike down your way, nothing here is built for hurricanes.
Not much here is built for hurricanes. Trust me, we have just as many morons here as anywhere else.
Built for blizzards should suffice for maybe a cat 1 hurricane.
I just want enough landfall here so as to facilitate faking my death. “l0b0t? Never heard of him; I’m Poonflang Dammarung, from Malaysia. Very pleased to meet you.”
Nice.
Preased to meet you. If you’re not even going to do an accent, what’s the point?
I thought he was quoting a Nugent song.
Its headed right for my area in Long Island but its barely a hurricane, more like a tropical storm that possibly turns to a category 1.
For some reason, I thought you were upstate. I’m in The Rockaways; please reach out if (G/d forbid) the storm is worse or you need anything.
Thanks.
UCS and Not Adahn are the Upstaters. I’m in the Catskills (which aren’t upstate).
All of which makes perfect sense given that the most likely origin of the phrase was the 19th century temperance movement:
Fuck. Why was I not surprised by that? Fuck the Temperance Movement.

There is a significant subset of these that believe “the root of most problems is [demon rum, drugs, immorality, private property, sexism, racism etc.] so if we ban that the world will become a much better place.”

I look forward to being locked in my rounded cornered, extra padded, BPA free, cage with everyone else. I’m certain it will come complete with a free Scare Screen that never shuts off. The only thing left to comfort me will be the guard’s occasional reassurances of how lucky I am with all of my privilege, freedom and safety.
I have heard a perverted form of that argument from some of the most obnoxious, emphatically outspoken lefties, the kind that are extremely lacking in self-awareness, and always rail against straw men, but generally make that argument in terms of how the bourgeousie are too comfortable etc. There’s a kernel of truth* to it, and that leads into us all glibsplaining to each other how it’s part of why China is taking over, not only because much of the West is becoming an immiserated, self-hating place choking on nihilistic post-modernist propaganda about how awful we are, but also because we got comfortable, and started taking things for granted. China is in fifth gear! Oi! Watching the West both cowed by it’s self-flagellation and comfortable in it’s opulence. Freedom ain’t free!

Good news! With one day left Live Nation agreed to refund my tickets after they sprung a vaccine requirement last week. I’m hoping a bunch of empty seats will send a message.
Good for you, any way we can push back against this madness is necessary. As of yesterday you need to show proof of a Vid vax to gain entry to indoor bars, restaurants and events here. For all the good it will do I plan on boycotting all such places until and if they rescind this bullshit requirement. I got the fucking thing, but that is one of my red lines, I am not sharing health info with a fucking bar. These days that is easier as I am married with three little kids, so I don’t often go to bars now, and since all of the Vid theatre with masks and whatnot make us reluctant to eat in restaurants. One positive aspect of the whole shitshow is that we have saved some more money this year from not eating out. It’s all going into the fund to get the hell out of here sooner rather than our original later plan.
The mass migrations to Texas and Florida is already in full swing. It’s fun watching my properties gain value so quickly, but it sucks to think about how i already know most of those people will act and vote.
The only long term chance is to change the culture, not easily done and it will take many years to even show up. Without that happening, individual liberty will not have a hope in hell in this country.
Last weekend we went to a concert in Chicago. Zero covid requirements not even masks. That one was sold out. Looks like tonight has plenty of seats.

I have the sneaking suspicion that republicans aren’t going to have a tough time in any elections these next couple of years…. I can’t really put my finger on it but…
I hate to say it but if anyone knows how the drop the ball it is the Republicans.
Yep.
I watched a little Fox News while at the gym in the cardio area. Bitching about the southern border and bitching about Afghanistan. Nothing about Lil Rona Panic restrictions, inflation, etc.
FBN for that.
Yeah, even in one of the most liberal towns in Oregon (Corvallis) my barber was bitching about the restrictions that gov. Brownshirt was reinstating. Easy pickup.
if anyone knows how the drop the ball it is the Republicans.
I’ve come around to the opinion that there’s no real screwing up happening on the right. One of two things is going on here. Either the GOP is wholly compromised from top to bottom and is controlled opposition or the progressive faction of the GOP is strong enough to keep the libertarian faction at bay.
I haven’t really decided which of the two I find more likely.
the GOP is wholly compromised from top to bottom and is controlled opposition
Ding ding ding!
Does/will MN have print-at-home ballots (any time soon)?
They have to investigate how to repair the party’s image? Jesus Christ. It never occurred to them to just do their fucking job?
I stuck my nose into a bit of NPR listening for the morning store run. They are straight up state propaganda concerning all things covid, but had less than glowing remarks for Biden’s exit from Afghanistan. NPR wants more war in third world shit holes as well as you to be jailed for not getting the Vax or muzzling your kid.

Update on my friend: Mr Mojeaux got hold of the daughter, who said friend is stable, out of isolation but still ventilated and in the ICU. Her vitals and sats are good, but now her body needs time to heal.
Glad to hear there’s improvement.
Yeah!
Thank goodness! Hope she continues to improve!
Good to hear.

That is good news. I am glad to hear that.
Oh good.
Improvement is good.

If she’s out of isolation, she has cleared her COVID. Excellent news.

Let me drop this 2,000 plus word salad from CNN. On kimchi.

I will repeat what I have said before, the only thing Korea and China can agree upon is hatred of Japan. After that they hate each other as much as they hate Japan.
There are more than a few reasons that America is the worst country…except for all of the others.
Just listened to the Scott Horton / Ayaan Hirsi Ali debate. Horton made mincemeat of Ali. She spoke in vague generalities and appeals to emotion, while he eviscerated American foreign policy.
Ali – “We just need to do better”
Horton – “We haven’t done better for decades, perhaps we should just stop killing millions of people until we figure it out.”
I’m willing to cut her a bit of slack due to her past which was traumatic to say the least but, yeah, she’s an interventionist and is best ignored on the foreign policy stuff.
She’s a useful idiot for the neocons and the people who claim they hate us for our freedoms.
They aren’t just claiming it, they absolutely do.
As Horton put it, the Ayatollah spent the eighties rallying behind the America is a decadent influence, but it was Bin Laden who managed to pull together actual fighters based on specific accusations of supporting corrupt regimes and maintaining bases in Saudi Arabia.
It’s one thing to use America as a propaganda point to rally votes, but wholly another to convince people to fly planes into buildings and die in the process. Killing over a million people in the region over the past twenty years certainly has given them more specific reasons to hate us that have nothing to do with our (dwindling) freedoms.
When Horton gets on a rant about the US’s idiocy in all things foreign policy wise and interventionism there is no denying it and he hits it out of the park every time. There is no good rebuttal to what he states. The one good thing that may occur about the meltdown that is now the Afghan withdrawal is that maybe a few more people will realize it would have always ended this way and it was stone cold stupid to ever go there in the first place or given the fact we did, to stay there for more than six months. Made a bunch of money for some people though. Hopefully they realize that too. We are steered by greedy fucks.

I can think of several ways to fold or insert a trifold page.
Just checked mine and it’s exactly as the video. 50-50 shot the ballot is inserted that way, but if it is, you can clearly tell if there’s a yes vote by shaking it slightly to the corner of the envelope. If they weren’t so obviously cheaters, it might be an oversight, but since there’s so much questionable ballot issues here, I have to assume it’s purposeful. They’ll either lose or DQ the yes voters as often as they can.
Why are there holes in the envelope…?
Drainage holes. Duh.
I think they are locating holes for the automated machines to process them. The hole that shows the yes votes is one of two on either side of the signature line. I suspect the camera for the signature uses the holes to stop the envelope as it passes through and photograph the sig.

They really need to get the army in the streets to shoot anyone seen outside their homes.
That’s not even hyperbole anymore. They’re literally shooting protesters (with rubber bullets). Not much of a leap to be made to start shooting lead instead of rubber.

I saw DEG’s link above and was looking for a source from Austria, which I figured would have more information.
Student lets Green Pass be tattooed on his/her arm?

Let or permit is one of the senses of “lassen”, but in this case it’s more “gets” or “has”. “Man läßt sich die Haare schneiden” is “One gets one’s hair cut”. It’s one of those verbs that has a lot of closely related senses.

It’s almost as if a co-ordinated effort to minimize treatment options has predictable consequences
Mississippi health officials are warning residents not to take an anti-parasitic drug — in most cases, a formulation purchased at livestock supply centers — to treat or prevent Covid-19.
The Mississippi State Department of Health issued an alert on Friday that the Mississippi Poison Control Center has received an increasing number of calls from people who have taken the drug known as ivermectin — and that at least 70% of such calls related to “ingestion of livestock or animal formulations of ivermectin purchased at livestock supply centers.”
While there are human uses for the drug, the US Food and Drug Administration has not approved ivermectin to treat or prevent Covid-19 in humans and the drug is not an anti-viral medication.
“There are approved uses for ivermectin in both people and animals. Patients should be advised to not take any medications intended to treat animals and should be instructed to only take ivermectin as prescribed by their physician,” the Mississippi State Department of Health alert said. “Animal drugs are highly concentrated for large animals and can be highly toxic in humans. Some of the symptoms associated with ivermectin toxicity include rash, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, neurologic disorders, and potentially severe hepatitis requiring hospitalization.”
According to the alert, 85% of the callers had mild symptoms, but one person was instructed to seek further evaluation due to the amount of ivermectin they told poison control they had taken.
The US Food & Drug Administration tweeted on Saturday: “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.”
Why focus on treatment when you can pretend “prevention” is a viable option?
I assume they all overdosed.
Working out the dose from that paste could be a problem for those who aren’t very good at math. People are probably taking horse doses sometimes.
I have a one hundred mg bottle of ivermectin in the fridge. I use it to treat my dogs against heart worms. I am not taking that shit. Those people are nuts.
I once joked to my vet that I wanted an extra dose of advantix so I could treat my dogs and myself. She was horrified because she thought I was serious. Some people have no sense of humor.
Known her long? She young? Are there many eejits in your parish?
She is a real knock-out beauty. She made a pass at me once or twice…If I weren’t married…
I ask only because it sounds as if vet schools are flooded with women lately. Locally it does seem to have become much less All Creatures Great and Small.
You wouldn’t want a humorless woman anyway.
In response to your lower point, DVM graduates are approx 80% female (and that stat was a few years ago). most gender imbalanced post grad degree in either direction, iirc.
Taking it as a prophylactic seems to be a bit much. I’d consider taking it if I actually got sick though.
I bought a bottle to put in the prepper cabinet. It’s only for SHTF.
It would be preferable if I could freely buy the pills for humans, but nope because FYTW.
I’m surprised the nutjobs haven’t moved on to Pepcid yet.
To be fair, I was taking glucosamine chondroitin via a vet’s RX for a couple years before it was approved for human use. Now it’s OTC.
“…US Food and Drug Administration has not approved ivermectin to treat or prevent Covid-19 in humans…”
Those fuckwits have also not approved the cootie bug vaccines.

Mississippi is a weird place. I was down there doing some work last September. I was conducting inventory verifications at some used car lots. Every car lot had at least one vehicle that was riddled with bullet holes. One car I selected still had blood and matter all over the driver side dash, door, roof, steering wheel. It was gross.
My boss loved the report I wrote.

Remember how four months ago timber prices were at an all-time high and omg the cost of construction was spiraling out of control and Joe Biden should put price controls on timber and we’re all going to die?
Neither do I. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-08-20/tumbling-lumber-prices-force-canadian-mill-to-curb-production
I’m confused (not really) why they’re pinning this on the lumber prices returning to normal rather than the mentioned increase in log prices. Sounds like the latter is the issue and the former is just an excuse.
“ plunging lumber prices and soaring log costs.”
The writer is maybe embellishing. I’m not seeing soaring log costs. Log costs track with timber costs on a monthly basis. When a mill buys a log, it pays for the rectangular solid that is quantifiable by the scaler (the guy who determines “how much wood is in a log”). Trees are conical however, so the mill makes its profit from the extra pieces that can be produced outside of that rectangular solid.
Raw log prices and dimensional lumber prices per thousand board feet track very closely.
Maybe those mills bought logs as part of a futures contract? Bad business then.
Quite a bit of the rise in lumber prices was due to logistics, not supply.
And Biden doubled the tariffs on Canadian lumber which is not mentioned of course.
They have been cutting like crazy around here. I can see 5000 acres cut within five minutes of my house. The highways are covered with log -trucks.
I didn’t touch any of mine. If I can pay taxes with hunting leases, which I am, I will never cut another stick of it. My brother agrees with me on that.

Part of the reason I passed was the price was high. Y’all need to flood us with cheap sub $200 quality rifles. I’d buy three.

Quick question for any SciFi movies fans.
Which movie had the army kids logging in to remote robots? In the scene some kid runs a robot out of a container and it gets shot and he just logs into another robot in the container while his sergeant is yelling at him?
It specifically called it a ‘peace keeping mission.’ It was just a side clip too, it wasn’t apart of the main film.
Can you give an approximate year?
I’m thinking it’s an opening scene from Ready player One. But I can’t really confirm it with my current internet restrictions.
Ready Player One doesn’t have a military element, so I’m not sure where a Sargent would come into play.
Enders Game has remote control fighting by kids, but I don’t think there are robots.
It was an intro scene or clip. It didn’t have anything to do with the plot line. I’m thinking it was ready player one but by no means am I sure about it. I’ll have to step out and check my phablet.
Surrogates?

Not a lot of info to go on there.
To elaborate, the topic came up between a couple of co workers and I while discussing the latest Elon Musk “idea.”

So now we’re gonna have robots running into traffic?
Sounds like Surrogates, starring Bruce Willis.

I’ve got the apartment to myself for 4 hours while my wife is getting her hair done.
I’m going to crank up the Vox, plug in the Les Paul and rock n roll. Sorry neighbors.

New info re the Zoom happy hour discussion last night about interesting balls.
Around here cabbage rolls are a thing. I’ve been pondering finding a way to recreate that taste in meat ball form.
Would. I am kicking my breakfast burrito habit by wrapping my morning eggs in a cabbage leaf. After reheating pre made breakfast cabbage rolls there is a bit more juice so they are hard to eat while driving without making a mess of oneself. I am thinking I am now going to go the frittata route and skip the cabbage.
I’m torn. they look yummy, but I’m opposed to eating octopus for the same reason I disregard porpoise and whale.
Because they you’d rather have sex with them?
I wont eat them either. They are smarter than most people I have met, but then so are pigs.
What to do, what to do? *wanders off rending garments*
I am not sure those “balls” look yummy, but I do know octopus is yummy. All animals are smarter than the people that would run our lives atm.
There was a Zoom happy hour discussion last night?
Yes. It was in depth and we solved all the worlds problems but we were all too drunk or stoned to remember what the solution was. Tonio was taking notes but he fell asleep because it was his birthday.
Grocery report:
Ruralish chain grocery. I’d say 1/4 or more of customers are unmasked. Nothing from the staff and no one cares one way or another.
Whole Foods wannabe grocery. Sole nonmasker. Got one dirty look from another customer. Overheard two guys discussing the masks, one was firmly in the masks don’t work, this is theater bullshit. I almost interrupted to say he doesn’t have to wear it just like I’m doing right now.
Unfortunately I don’t see any signs of pushback or resistance. Smaller rural areas will be left alone and ignored until they can’t be and then the regulatory agencies will put the boot on them.
It’s going to take mass disobedience in the Portland Metro area to make a difference and leaving aside the percentage of True Believers, it’s not going to happen. Orchestrated leftist riots and violence sure, principled freedom and petitioning government, that’s right wing nonsense.
‘Right wing extremist’. You need to work on your nomenclature.
Oh, and no one here is wearing a mask. I went to the grocery a couple of days ago. I saw one mask.

Wow.
Amazing how fast the morons that got Biden elected have turned their noses up on that disaster.
Congratulations motherfuckers.
Did Anderson’s head explode?
She didn’t even show her tits, how does she expect to make it in this business? -EXEC
Dammit. I overcaffeinated this morning and now my ears are ringing.
I over caffeined yesterday. By that I mean I asked for Root Beer at Taco Bell and they served me Dr. Pepper. My limbs started not working right and I started getting short of breath. Took some lorazapam and went to bed way too early, hence why I’m awake too late today. My ears ring reguardless.
The cure for ringing ears is tequila.
Duly noted.
Apparently, I drank so much yesterday, on autopilot I made coffee to go to work with today. My wife found a nearly full pot of cold coffee this morning.
Ihre Papieren, bitte
Anyone who wants to eat, drink or exercise indoors in San Francisco will be required to show they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, when one of the nation’s most stringent restrictions on unvaccinated people takes effect.
Restaurant and bar owners said they’ve contacted people who reserved tables to remind them of the new rule that begins Friday, and plan to have extra staff at the front door to verify people’s proof of vaccination, making sure it matches their identity cards.
“There’s definitely some anxiety around how it’s all going to work,” said Pete Sittnick, a managing partner of Waterbar and EPIC Steak restaurants on the city’s waterfront.
He anticipates a slowdown in checking in guests, possible pushback from diners who disagree with the requirement and awkward scenarios where someone shows up without proper documentation.
“Awkward”
At least we were spared from the creeping authoritarianism of Trump’s America.
Trump let this whole thing start. I hold him responsible as well. They’re all a bag o dix.
“But we’ll good-naturedly soldier through the awkwardness until the New Normal becomes second nature.”
Pay no attention to the graveyard of dead small businesses behind the curtain.
People gonna get stabbed.
Just ban all knives, problem solved!
So simple.
Let’s do it, for the children.
Long as it’s simple.
Good thing there are plenty of workers available for the extra staff to check documents.
I’m pretty sure you don’t need to be vaccinated to take a shit on the mayor’s house,
Ugh. A double boiler? Really?
1 two cup glass measuring cup. 1/2 stick of butter. Put it in the microwave on high for 20 seconds. If not melted (slightly more than body temp) put back in for five second increments until it is. To separate an egg simply crack it into your hand and let the white slip between your fingers. Plop two yolks into the melted butter. Add in one and one half tablespoons of lemon juice, a dash of salt and a pinch of allspice.
Get a whisk and start whisking. Whisk, whisk, whisk. It might look like the sauce is broken but don’t give up. Keep whisking. Like magic it will suddenly become a perfect Hollandaise. It takes less than 4 minutes. Oh, put that Worchestershire back in the cabinet. Stabbing at the plastic seal is very cringe-worthy.

I lasted all of 10 seconds before the vocal fry and the constant reading from the phone got me.
I’ve never done Hollandaise, but I’m pretty simple with my egg prep. Every morning, I do a sausage patty (currently working through a new batch of homemade patties courtesy of Spud’s recipe) and two over medium eggs. Salt, pepper, hot sauce, accompany with coffee, and eat.
The last time I made Hollandaise was in Jr. High Home Ec. From what I understand, it’s a a dead trend from 70s, like Jello and mayo fruit salad.
What in tarnation is mayo fruit salad?
An abomination of American cuisine better left in the past.
*looks up recipe*
*nods in fervent agreement*
The closest I’ve had to such a horrid thing was fruit salad with yogurt, which isn’t bad. Mayo (and sour cream, which was also in the recipe I found) is a major step down.
I dunno, I wasn’t alive in 70s, but it sounds like something they would have done in those demented times.
Ambrosia and or any number of gelatin concoctions; q.v. but you might regret it.
“I’m afraid we’re all out of Waldorfs…”
Damn the bad luck.

Seems too young to me, but what do I know?
Back in my day, we didn’t tell newspapers every time we did something. I mean, you never saw the headline ’25 Year Old Man Finally Sees Every Episode of Voltron’, because that isn’t news.
Do you feel slighted ?
Driving in my neighborhood today I saw yard signs for a new real estate broker: Steve Smith Team. I’m no longer safe in the suburbs.
“STEVE SMITH sell your home! By sell your home mean…Rape you, your family and all people who want buy!’
“STEVE SMITH very interested in the day’s mortgage rapes!”
Try NOT to Hear it. Rape Ape.
“STEVE SMITH give good points during financing. By financing, mean rape!”
New meaning for open house?
STEVE SMITH BROKER OF THE YEAR WITH FIVE BROWN STARS AWARDED!
Ahem, Cinnamon Stars. STEVE’s a classy kind of rapesquatch, ya know.
STEVE SMITH SELL YOUR HOME OR STEVE SMITH GIVE YOU 1%. BY GIVE YOU 1%…

Good. You fuckers have been sailing through this scot free. Take a taste of your own medicine.
“They should come to my place of work, where they’d never get close to me, I’d be able to ignore them, and sic my hired goon on them for pretextural reasons.”
You know what really insulting to them? Being a totalitarian Nazi enacting authoritarian policies in the Land of the Free. And those people you disdain? They’re your bosses. You work for them. You’re the hired help, shitstain.
This X1000.
They are the hired help. This cannot be overstated.
I’ve shamelessly stolen it repeatedly. You might not need the hunting leases if you collected royalties.
It is more complicated than that. I keep telling people to stop dropping anvils on their feet but it just doesn’t sink in.
Also note that the overwhelming majority of the authoritarians featured in the article are women. I think one of the greatest lies over the past 100 years is that the sexes are equal, not just in application of the law, but in temperament and judgement.
Love how every couple paragraphs they keep trying to tie these people to death stats and casedemic and racist. Just so we don’t forget how awful these people are.
Garbage “journalism”.
