You have my apologies. I was supposed to cover the old man last Sunday. Saturday evening however, I snorted something Don Brett sent me via DHL that he specifically promised was NOT cocaine and I forgot about the whole thing.
My fault. But let’s hear it for Tonio! He’s the WD-40 that dissolves whatever that goop is that keeps gumming up the gears!

Don’t like vaccine mandates? Try this out:
The team was held for about seven hours in the village of Nahuila, in the province of Alta Verapaz, north of Guatemala City.
The villagers said they didn’t want the shots, and later blocked a road and let the air out of the nurses’ tires. A cooler and about 50 doses of vaccine were destroyed.

Afternoon, Mexi.
Hello
Nice first.
Afternoon, Ted.
Ain’t he more Tex-Mex?
I’m reminded of the Cuban rowing team jokes.
The Cuban swim team didn’t fare as well.
From what I gather about impoverished villagers in rural Guatemala, there’s a dearth of people who are (a) old, or (b) fat. Ergo, the vaccine is of limited utility to them.

About 12 armed and masked members of the group appeared in a video posted to social media on Sunday.
Another self-defense force has emerged in the northeast of Chiapas.
Three months after the “El Machete” force was created in Pantelhó, the Armed Force of Simojovel has appeared in the neighboring municipality.
About 12 armed and masked members of the group appeared in a video posted to social media on Sunday.
“Today we have formed the armed group of the people with the aim of demanding respect for human rights. Out of respect we haven’t entered the town … but we’ll soon take action if our demands aren’t met,” said a spokesman for the group.
In a message directed to the incoming mayor of Simojovel and “the groups he heads,” the spokesman demanded respect for “our indigenous brothers” and an end to the embezzlement of the town’s resources.
He also said the self-defense group won’t allow the presence of drug traffickers or the operation of cantinas. In addition, he called for an end to murders in the streets of Simojovel and for “decent medical care for the people.”
“Public security should be for the people, not for the criminals,” the spokesman declared. “If these demands aren’t met, we’ll act against the bad municipal government.”
The orator also said that the armed group is an independent force and not affiliated with any political party.
The publication of the video coincided with the departure of Simojovel priest Marcelo Pérez Pérez, who officiated at his final mass on Saturday after spending 10 years in the town, located 90 kilometers north of San Cristóbal de las Casas.
Pérez was the subject of death threats, according to two bishops from the diocese of San Cristóbal.
“With surprise the news of death threats against the priest Marcelo Pérez Pérez reached us,” Rodrigo Aguilar Martínez and Luis Manuel López Alfaro said in a statement last month without specifying where the threat came from./
“People or groups that make threats against him or any … [priest] are threatening the church of Jesus Christ and this diocese.”

“In Mexico, where the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said about 8,000 Haitians returned after fleeing the Del Rio encampment, it’s estimated that there are anywhere between 30,000 to 35,000 Haitian migrants. Many of them, U.S. officials believe, are either waiting to see how U.S. immigration policy will shake out before attempting to illegally cross, while others are hoping to win asylum in Mexico. The latter is a difficult achievement, given that most of the migrant left Haiti and its volatile politics years ago, making it difficult to claim fear of political persecution.”
So it was Trumps fault?
Obviously.

Watching Lularich on Amazon, about Lularoe. I guess each generation has to learn about MLMs for itself. I was 16 the first time I ran up against one. Herbalife. It didn’t make sense to me then. And I am blessed with an innate resistance to the hard sell. I never understood people who thought this would work.
Ugh. Herbalife. My first wife bought into that. We were young with her child at aged 3 and one on the way. I was working at an engineering firm as office bitch trying to break into drafting for them and I came home to find out she took our meager savings of about $500 bucks and bought into it. That should have been the major first red flag (ignoring her having a kid at aged 17…different strokes). Those businesses are absolutely predatory, more so than dollar-loan centers or whatever. Fuck those places and business models.
I respect payday loan places and I don’t particularly think they’re predatory. They are up front. You know you pay $X for 2 weeks of a loan. Cheaper than a bounced check, for sure. When you’re poor and need to pay for an unexpected car repair so you can get to work, you don’t give a shit about the interest rate.
Yeah, I phrased that wrong. I meant to say how politicians make pay-day loan places out to be the devil and yet MLM are gifts from God that are not to be touched.
I have used pay-day loan and title loans…cause when you are broke and you have to feed two hungry mouths…you calculate the costs.
I got what you were saying. I was trying to expound. ?
It was a good show – I watched it last week. There are still loyalists out there, I guess.
My wife uh…I think had it going on, but I guess you could ‘opt’ out as long as you went onto the account and said not this month. Yeah…first month she forgot after her business took off it was cancel away!
I’m resistant to
a) hard sell
b) groups
c) authoritarian/hierarchical structures
d) motivational-type bullshit
I would do so poorly at MLMs and cults (but I repeat myself)
Watkins, Amway and Shaklee are the three I’m most familiar with, and all three of ’em had members who, at one time or another, tried to reel me in.
The thing about having both economics and finance degrees (as well as a 30-year-long amateur interest in the psychology of persuasion) is you tend to quantitatively analyze sales pitches in real time, which takes all the fun out of falling for something hook, line and sinker.
I’m going to eat some crow. I WAS, when I was 18, susceptible to one particular charismatic personality and that was not a beneficial relationship. My eyes were open, but I was not seeing. Until I did. But I always thought there was something wrong with ME, until Intalked to someone else with the same experience.
No, it WAS a beneficial relationship. I learned what narcissists were, and their tricks.
Oh, man. I watched that a few weeks ago, and I was curious to see what comments you might have about that, Mojeaux.
If you don’t mind my asking, is there something about that culture that makes it seemingly fertile ground for the MLM thing?
I honestly don’t know, but I have a few hypotheses:
A friend of mine told me once (with regard to the scrapbooking fad) that “Mormons can turn straw into gold.” That is true for some. Mormons are, I think, amongst devout religious practitioners, disproportionately wealthy. It seems. So there’s that. We have a culture of wealth.
Next is, I think, is an overlying naivete with regard to how the world works amongst Mormons. They are trusting and expect everyone else to be trustworthy, too, which makes them easy marks.
Then there are assholes and conmen who see churchmembers as a field of milk and honey and don’t hesitate to use church connections to reap the crop.
Many women in the church would like to be stay-at-home moms and many of them have no marketable skills anyway. It doesn’t pay to work retail if all your money is going to childcare. Few women can see their worth as homemakers. They know they are too dependent on their husbands and it eats away, and it’s worse if there’s not enough money coming in. So they look for ways to earn money and often that’s where an MLM will enter the picture. Seems like so ething in her wheelhouse. She can make some money and help support the family and at the same time, have something that is HERS, that she is Firstname Lastname, and not “my kids’ mom”.
Lastly, they are already in a culture that stresses conformity and heterogeneity, so making the switch to the rah rah sis boom ba MLM is easy, only the MLM conventions are so much more entertaining than church. There, they feel actually appreciated and known, singled out for their accomplishments, or else with the hope of becoming known and singled out. They have the hope of getting at an MLM convention what they can’t get at church or at home.
Sigh… I worked for a coke-addled, classically trained chef who was running his (much better) chef wife’s restaurant into the ground. He would pay overtime rates to stay up all night with him and address envelopes to hundreds upon hundreds of marks to “build his downline.”
He also said the self-defense group won’t allow the presence of drug traffickers or the operation of cantinas. In addition, he called for an end to murders in the streets of Simojovel and for “decent medical care for the people.”
No cantinas? I don’t know.

A new currency with six fewer zeros debuted Friday in Venezuela, whose currency has been made nearly worthless by years of the world’s worst inflation.
But the new bills were nowhere to be found in the capital, where consumers’ fears that prices will continue to spiral upward proved to be right.
Huh. It’s already going wrong.
Cuban officials called the players’ actions during the World Cup for athletes under the age of 23 “vile abandonments”, state media report.
And those officials are hunting the players’ families down.
The White House said the talks would “build on discussions in previous months on protecting our people, preventing transborder crime, and pursuing criminal networks, while promoting human rights and the rule of law.”
You’ve been doing such a wonderful job thus far.
So the border is confused? Not sure if it is Mexican or American? Maybe it should get a special interest group to advocate for it and have protected privledges.

He’s not doing the other four things either.
Before the adjustment, the highest denomination was a 1 million bolivar bill that was worth a little less than a quarter as of Thursday. The new currency tops out at 100 bolivars, a little less than $25 — until inflation starts to eat away at that as well.
But inflation is a myth.

Oh I am joyously rubbing this in the noses of my proggie friends: so this is how you go after the 1% huh?
$600 might be the official threshold, but I’m sure they will quickly encourage reporters to pass on lesser amounts that are “suspicious” or possibly attempted structuring.
Or they already have illegitimate access to the transactions and this is about legalizing it so it can be used officially without the bother of parallel reconstruction.
I hated that I had to hold my nose and vote for Trump in 2020, but I’m starting to not regret that decision at all. Trump wasn’t a libertarian by any means but holy fuck, he’s ten times better than these authoritarian fucks. This is going to do squat lower the deficit and pay for their wish list and they fucking know it.
The least bad candidate with an actual chance to win is almost always an acceptable compromise.
Trump is the best president in US History. Even the greatest presidents (washington, jefferson) never had to deal with the number of traitors that Trump was forced to keep in govt.
Trump exposed the Democrats for being the commies that they are. Without Trump being president, democrats would have been winning thru incrementalism. Lefties went full commie and its pushing more and more Americans against democrats.

From the last thread. Windows 11 upgrade completed with (so far) minimal fuss.
So, as is typical, change for change sake. More applications are updated to the new UI, but quite a few original Win32 interfaces remain.
Plus- on a widescreen monitor having the taskbar icons centers works better. Will take a bit to get used to using as well as switching back to Win 10.
Minus- fonts and colors. As usual all of the under 30 UI engineers uses bad color choices for contrast and made the default fonts even smaller. I can’t wait for those fuckers to experience age related presbyopia. Hopefully in their early 40s. Fuck you all.
I don’t have TPM2, they’re not in stock anywhere, and for some reason “just so I can upgrade to Windows 11” is not a very compelling reason to get one.
You can force an upgrade, but MSFT says it can withdraw support for such systems at anytime. Doesn’t seem to make much sense to do that for me.
Are you sure you don’t have TPM2? Most of the reason that MSFT won’t support older chipsets is because of the lack of TPM2. I had thought all the supported chipsets supported TPM2.
For example, I had to dig into my X470 Bios and enable the onboard TPM2. I’ve got a header for a TPM module as well, but Win 11 was OK with the onboard.
Are you sure you don’t have TPM2?
I thought I was sure. I definitely don’t have the motherboard module. But apparently there’s something called fTPM and once I turned that on in the EFI setup it now says I can install Windows 11.
Good luck! Worked for me, but you know MSFT and all…
The irony in all this is that the TPM2 chip isn’t for _your_ benefit.
I tried to find some place on the Internet where somebody who didn’t just learn about what a computer is 5 minutes before learning how to write would explain why Windows 11 needs TPM but Google helpfully led me to believe no such people exist anymore.
So what exactly does that technology do for microsoft that they’re so insistant on it?
TPMs handle quiet in-the-background features, primarily related to disk encryption and Windows Hello authentication. If your TPM is working properly, you’ll never notice it at all. For example, if you use BitLocker to encrypt your hard drive in a PC, you will need to provide a key to “unlock” your disk every time you boot your PC. You can type this key in manually every time, or you can store the key on a USB stick that you insert every time you boot, but neither option is convenient. A TPM is an internal component that can provide that key automatically without exposing it to theft.
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/10/windows-11-the-ars-technica-review/2/#h3
I believe TPM allows running some security functions like drive encryption outside OS space.
I don’t want microsoft encrypting my drives against me

Test 4: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Trusted_Platform_Module
Test 5: https://wiki.debian.org/SecureBoot
Utest 5?
Ok, WordPress appears to have blacklisted the link I want to post. Anyway, the last link (preceded by “Test 5”) provides some technical details about Secure Boot, which is also required for Windows 11 and needs TPM to work. It controls what software can be loaded at boot time by the firmware. Basically, it gives Microsoft control end-to-end over what you can and cannot run on the computer, though how fully they will exercise that control remains to be seen. The link I wanted to paste, which you can to get from the second link I could paste (key word “rodsbooks”) tells you how to actually take control of your TPM. Apparently anything too technical is forbidden by WordPress.
UEFI Secure Boot is used by some Linux distros. It is intended to ensure whatever is booted is not compromised whether that is a boot loader or a kernel.
it gives Microsoft control end-to-end over what you can and cannot run on the computer,
That’s the key bit.
There are indeed lots of useful-to-you things the TPM2 module can do.
But the primary impetus by Microsoft is control, DRM in particular. They can store encryption keys that you, the machine owner, can in no way access. Movies, games, whatever – you can only use it when it’s decrypted by a key in can’t possibly access*
You don’t really own anything, you’re just renting it, unless they decide you can’t have it anymore.

…if you’re paying for any time spent on those activities directly rather than just by being taxed.
TBF, those Canadian corporations _aren’t_ paying taxes towards US policing.
In Dallas awhile back, the cops stopped responding to petty theft, disorderly conduct, etc. in residential neighborhoods.
BUT, your neighborhood watch could hire an “off-duty” officer to keep an eye on things. In a patrol car.
The question is did the Canucki company pay with Canadian dollars or good old American?
Beaver pelts
Oil. The original Black Gold.
They aren’t rubes anymore. They used good Canadian Tire money.
Hey, don’t knock that stuff. You can buy all kinds of crap with it. It may also be harder to counterfeit than actual Canadian money, at least up until the Feds went for the Australian-style plastic money.
How to get killed in One Easy Lesson Old WWII film…good stuffs.
Better acting than the Army training videos from the 90s.
Hey now! I was actually in one of those in the ’90s, and…
Yeah, you’re right. My acting was terrible. ?
The anti-fraternization videos were the best. I believe the actors for the 90s videos were soldiers who couldn’t hide when not working. Every soldier knows to keep busy or hide or get tagged for some shit detail.
Got any links for us civilians to see?

FF to 2:00 for the first scenario.
I don’t get it. Who’s Brandon?
Race car driver. A reporter was interviewing him and the crowd was chanting “fuck Joe Biden”. She claimed they were saying ” Let’s go Brandon “
I was just thinking about that; she either:
– genuinely though it was “Let’s Go Brandon” – implying that she was totally unaware of the “Fuck Joe Biden” chants that have been breaking out
or
– thought she needed to do damage control for el presidente
Either explanation makes her horrible at her job.
Maybe she was just covering for the network. Are over the air broadcast cursing fines still a thing?
I think the race was on cable.
It was on either NBC or their sports network. Draw your own conclusions
I wonder if she had an earpiece with a producer in her ear helping her out. I haven’t looked for any shots of her to see if she had an earpiece or not.
Earpieces are standard issue in that role these days.
She knew what they were chanting, and she knew we knew what they were chanting, I saw it as less gaslighting and more how you might handle that one cousin at thanksgiving that says totally inappropriate things, you acknowledge him with a bit of a wink but allow everyone to move on as if he wasn’t telling the “Aristocrat” joke to the kids table.
That’s an odd way of viewing state-run propaganda. Though I’ll admit I found it amusing when Bagdad Bob did that handling trick on TV while American tanks were in the background.
It would have been most appropriate to ignore it and focus on the interviewee.
I thought the same. She was trying to make it G-rated for the kiddies at home. Not every single silly thing that happens is part of a nefarious plot by the MSM to gaslight us.
That’s my take. It was his first win. They kinda had to stick with the interview, and you could definitely hear the crowd. I wasn’t paying close enough attention to tell exactly what they were chanting.
Mojeaux had it right, though – ignore it, don’t call attention to it with an awkward lie.
Then why is the commie media covering up “fuck biden” chants at college games? Few kids watch those games.
Its deny deny deny,
According to commie MSM- Every American is excited to get the vax, loves democrats and el commendante biden, and loves communism.
Someone should ask her how it feels to found a meme.
“What’s a meem”?
That’s probably the least irritating answer.
It could be, “MAGA supporters are deplorable. I can’t wait until they get sent to the re-education centers and we can redistribute their white privilege.”
Shouting profanity around children to own the Libs.
‘t ain’t nothin’ the kids ain’t said the’selves
That’s a lame excuse for behaving like an uncouth redneck (but I repeat myself). Have some goddamned self respect people.
“Some folk’ll never eat a skunk,
But then again, some folk’ll….”
“Hey Ma, Get off the dang roof!”
Who’s Brandon?

There are pro-Sinema mailers around Arizona comparing her to John McCain. McCain talked to reporters all the time and was forthcoming about his policy views, popular or not.
Now do Biden! Politics is so fucking weird.
And they go straight to the recycle can along with my subscription to Sports Illustrated.
Its like an excited kid that quite hasn’t figured out how to express the thoughts in their head. Or someone who is addled and can’t quite express the thoughts in their head.

Circling back to Pie’s farmers market post. I may have to check this out sometime

Do they have Psaki Fruit? It’s a combo of Jack Fruit in a UTI brine.
Which reminds me, has anyone eaten Jack Fruit? They actually have cans of it at Whole Foods. ?
Look Jack, fruit and railroads don’t get to Whole Foods by being friendly to strawberries.
I’ll look for it when I go ?
Yes. I love it, but it is work to get the edible seed covering out.
I’ve never tried the caned stuff.
Cool, but canned in syrup does not sound all that great.
Normally we have to go to an international market to find Jack Fruit. It has shown up in Publix a couple times. My wife will buy a half or quarter fruit. It takes awhile to remove all the seed pods and remove the seeds before you can eat the flesh. The scent is interesting, but not bad like durian. The texture is similar to string cheese. The taste is something like a cross of mango and banana.
but not bad like durian
That’s interesting. The wife had our vegetarian daughter bring home one from her favorite Asian market which is pretty far away, so we don’t go. I guess the one she bought was already going bad, because my wife ended up throwing it out a week later. It was giving the cat’s litter box a run for it’s money. I’ve heard it tastes like mango and banana, which sounds good. I’ve also read that some of the canned stuff tastes like artichokes, which I would also like. I’m guessing cutting open a rotten one has soured my wife from asking for another one.
I don’t know how to tell the correct ripeness. My wife grew up with it so she selects. Ripe jack fruit has a pleasant, tropical aroma.
Well okay then, Moldy basketball is what i detected from the outset. It got worse from there.
Are you sure she didn’t get durian. They look similar with the exterior of durian having sharper points.
No, I did some internet searches. It was like a big, rough, but not spiky watermelon. And heavy too.
That Facebook ‘whistleblower’ sounds awfully like a political operative. But hey, what do I know! Oh look, beer.
Yeah, I watched the 60 Minutes interview the other night. Lot’s of stuff about hateful rhetoric and planning the Capitol ‘insurrection’ on Facebook, and the need for more censorship. Not a peep about six months of rioting, looting, etc. last year being planned on the same platform.
^I started reading the WSJ’s investigation pieces and quickly gave up when it became clear she was whistleblowing on Facebook for not shutting down all speech from those right of Mao.
Facebook itself is irrelevant. This is going to be used towards restricting speech across platforms and not just social media. This particular effort may not be successful, but it’s just another push towards that goal.
They’re making their objectives very clear.
Though Facebook may no longer be the platform of choice for the relevant parties, I am fairly certain that coordination of the summer 2020 riots would be among the tamer things to be found were one to actually get to see *everything* going on.
Her handler is Bill Burton.

She absolutely is a political operative trying to gin up support to “force” Facebook et al into censoring non-DNC approved speech.
(political_consultant)Shitbag
I hate spellcheck fails.
I’ll oversee it for myself, thanks.
Ooh, a bolshevik to go with the Maoists and Trotskyites. At least they’re mixing it up a bit now.
“The best in humanity.”
Well, that’s no fun!
I’m pretty sure female Matt Gaetz is a plant.
This.
Well, she STEVE SMITHED Facebook in her testimony today, saying they were willing accomplices to ChiCom spying.
If that’s in service of getting Facebook to crack down every more on irredeemables, its some 5D chess.
Linky
Red meat for the conservatives. Nothing will be done about their coziness to those shithole regimes and nor is that her goal. Her goal is for Facebook to be more open to abuse by our own shithole regime.
Yes. Saying Facebook is cozy with China won’t even get a shrug from Congress or the President.
Whether by design or not this gives some meat on the bone for the Republicans and the Democrats. A worst case scenario is an agreement for a crackdown on “hate speech” in return for a crackdown on the CCP. If they start talking about reaching across the aisle in response to this we’re screwed.
?
This is the social media version of campaign finance reform.
Evidently the Commifornia unions are investing heavily in commie china.
There seems to be a budding rift between Western elites and PRC elites. I don’t know why it’s happening and it’s only just begun if so, but the honeymoon period seems to be ending. Perhaps it’s just a useful rhetorical trick; they can get away with more if they can sell it as “democratically accountable” against the detestable Xi’s “authoritarian and autocratic” actions that are otherwise identical. It’s vaguely reminiscent of the souring of Western intellectuals on Stalin that happened in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
We need faster souring.
I’d rather deport them than let them act like chameleons, personally.
Well, Xi is cracking down in the private sector. May not bail out the big real estate companies that are defaulting. Our Masters may see that as a threat to their ChiCom rice bowl.
Xi Jinping succeeds Hu Jintao as leader of the CCP: crowd of NPC faces is blank and emotionless, CNN reports it like the weather

Xi says no girly men on the TV: NPCs download china.exe from MSM and get angry
It’s an open question in my mind of how far the agencies want to go with the domestic terrorism angle before switching to an external threat like China. They’ll get the GOP back on board with their agenda in full and continue to boil the rest of us frogs in the process.
“$600 transaction reporting will help uncover the Chinese intelligence network in this country.”
Exactly
“How do we get Joe Sixpack to support the means of his own destruction?”
If that gets enacted I’m going to consider emigrating to Sweden. At least I could get efficient administration with my insanely high taxes.
“Bjork Bjork Bjork”
The China evil thing is always a back burner to build Navy ships all of which we have now could destroy the Chinese Navy. I am more afraid of everyone who does not relent to the fake vaccine becoming a domestic terrorist angle. This shit is out of hand. It is established science that the vaxed spread the virus. (and probably at a higher rate than the unvaxxed) It is established science that those with immunity don’t. But they will not accept proof of immunity as an excuse to not get vaccinated. We are in territory not even Orwell could have imagined. Upside down shit that has gone sideways off the rails and over a cliff.
Why cant America be attacked from multiple angles?
Real chinese military threat to USA (nuclear, intel, state sponsored hacking)
Real military threat to allies like Taiwan
Commies in America undermining the USA
Propaganda
Democrat govt sponsored tyranny
Commies pushing to divide America to make the USA weaker while divided

I love RFOs with “came clear while investigating”.

The First That Will Change Everything gestates. It grows in size and strength everyday, sapping my own energy to do other things. It feeds off me like a parasite, and it is from my own matter that it will be birthed into the world. From my loins to your eyes.
Sounds like you might need a CAT scan with contrast.
Probably surgery to remove the cyst.

Dude, that’s clearly a NAP violation.
I never saw NAP Violation in the list of channels on pornhub.
Damn.
I searched for “NAP Violation” for pornhub and got nothing.
You’re right.
It might be divided among other fetishes.
Sorry to tell you, but that’s not a First, that’s a xenomorph.
