A lot going on these days between people that want to impose their will on others and well, the others. This will be sort of befuddled so bear with me.
This is my review of Boss Dog Millennial Hipster IPA:
Recently, a national chain restaurant received criticism for implementing new uniforms for their wait staff that were considered by some to be a bit….revealing.
SLD: I admit I might be in the target demographic, so naturally I didn’t find anything particularly wrong with the new uniforms. Its pretty much how swimsuits are cut these days, even one peice. So if Hooters wants to require their employees to do that they can. However, they shouldn’t be terribly surprised if they find there are a few employees that are not too happy with the change. The present shorts leave little to the imagination after all, and this change certainly will attract exactly the type of workers they are looking to attract: women that that do not quite hate themselves as much as Elizabeth Nolan Brown.
Does this necessarily mean I would want my daughter working there? Hell no. Culturally speaking, its probably 1962 in my house and I’d tell her she can make better money bartending. In the end, Hooters reversed their decision.
Given the difficulty these days in finding people that are even willing to work*, let alone for entry-level wages, this could be seen as a bit of a white pill. Namely in that workers now have greater leverage over their employers.
We’re seeing that with workers protesting vaccine mandates. This leaves employers stuck making difficult decisions, and some of those employers are subject to the ire of White Affluent Females (WAFs). I guess what I am getting at, is if you are in this situation, you might have a lot more power than you think.
Wait, how did I get something from Cleveland you ask? I had somebody smuggle it. This is absolute hipster juice, and quite frankly it should be obvious because it says so on the goddamn can. This is more the unfiltered, hazy type that combines elements of several hops varieties so its a bit grapefruity but not to the point where they can call it a “grapefruit IPA”. If you’re into it you’ll like it, just try not to ruin leg day by drinking one of these as a recovery drink. Boss Dog Millennial Hipster IPA: 2.4/5
*Seriously, only click this link if you want to hate millennials.
Personally I am more of a middle finger salute with a closed rest of hand but I can appreciate the classic bent rest of fingers look.
That beer sounds horrible. I do like the occasional IPA, but I dig more the Anchor Liberty understated style.
Hooters employees are much like porn stars. They flash and titillate, but really aren’t that attractive. I see more lovely servers at the local pancake house.
I used to go to the one in Saugus, MA. They had a few attractive women working there.
Which was surprising. It is Saugus.
I saw an absolutely knock-out at DB’s Golden Banana about *thinks* 31 years ago – the announcement was something like “From Playboy International, here’s X”, followed by a brief moment of silence from the crowd, followed by a huge roar.
I don’t think I ever went back so I can’t say whether Saugus/Peabody is some nexus of improbably good looking women.
It wasn’t a difficult decision for me at all.
Sure thing, I’m here to help.
I have been to Hooters. I definitely do not want to see those shorts on some of the waitresses.
It gives me some grim satisfaction to see stories about GE employees fighting back against vaccine mandates.
Its working. Twitters splash page is all about how Biden’s mandates are

To be fair, I already hate them.
Yes, but you hate everyone.
As much as I tuned out of ENB’s work a long time ago, I made the mistake of searching her name.
It wasn’t one of her pieces that I found, but one of those completely dishonest ‘hit pieces’ that finds an article (in this case by ENB), completely distorts and dishonestly represents what is actually said in that article, and banks on the fact that none of the readers will even bother reading the original article, or would even be capable of any objectivity in trying to understand it. It also accuses the article of being a “hit piece”, with no apparent sense of irony.
I may have a lot of objections to the Reasontarian gang but when the full-blown psychos go after them I still feel like they are, betimes, worth defending. Just very occasionally. They kind of bring it upon themselves, though, often. Their supposed magnanimity is met only with the contempt of sociopaths.
Long story short I saw she has babby now and I recall her manwife is also some sort of journalism but I forgot and I wondered who put babby in her
Wait, how did I get something from Cleveland you ask? I had somebody smuggle it.
Apropos.
women that that do not quite hate themselves as much as Elizabeth Nolan Brown.
Who really knocked ENB up?
*Seriously, only click this link if you want to hate millennials.

That’s further than I made it.

RE: Front page photo
When I joined the Air Force in 1971 we were issued the tan 1505 uniforms. I liked the blue ones that came a couple of years later better.
Still had the green fatigues when I got out, though.

A good friend is getting married, but she’s only sending invites to people who are vaxxed. Weirdly, I am not upset, just amused.
Does she know that you’re unvaxxxxxed or did she just put the requirement on the invitation?
She asked me if My Dude and I were vaxxed and if so, what was my new address?
She sounds nice.
No shit. So if this becomes a trend, if an unvaxxed person has a traditional role like Father of the Bride, does someone else walk her down the aisle and dance with her at the reception?
Is he still expected to pay for the wedding? I
I think it is becoming a trend.
A swing dance in the Boston area I used to go to will only allow you in if you can prove you are fully vaccinated. You also must wear a mask at all times for their indoor events.
Someone who used to be a friend runs D&D nights… but only if you are fully vaccinated.
Interestingly, the most Covid Crazy of my relatives invited me to her and her husband’s Halloween party. Strangely, they said nothing in the invitation about fully vaccinated only.
So… for fully vaccinated events: Does it matter anymore if you have nuclear-level flatulence? I could show up, peruse, start up a conversation with “You know, the great thing about everyone wearing masks is that I can fart all I want! Masks keep out viruses AND flatulence, right? Is it working?
Don’t get her a gift, whatever you do.
If she sends me an announcement, I will. She is a good friend, but I am disappointed and deeply dismayed in how she’s swallowing the COVID bullshit, which is why I’m not upset about the shunning. I just don’t need to be near people who are going to spout the party line like they’re smarter than everybody else.
The irony of their arrogance and intentional absolute lack of critical thinking is pretty insulting.
Yes, insulting. That’s the word I should have used. Also, I do feel superior to all these sycophants.
Jim Jones is alive and well.
I would have suggested getting the friend some sort of really inappropriate sex toy as a wedding gift.
Like a bread maker?
Do you want me to make a tasteless yeast joke?
Because this is how you get a tasteless yeast joke.
It’s like a proofing oven down there!

I disagree. Send a thoughtful gift like this shirt folding device.

“Can fold any size clothes (XS to XL)” English muthafucka! Do you speak it?!
A whole new world of etiquette has been opened…
Seating priorities:
1) fully vaxxed AND booster
2) fully vaxxed
3() one dose vaxxed
4) J&J ( no mRNA bits, no respect)
5) unvaxxed=SHUN
Send the invitations with a RSVP that includes a copy of your Vaxx card.
This could get ugly. Destination weddings FTW!!
Just remember to laugh hysterically if the reception turns out to be a super-spreader event.
Outbreaks and super-spreader events are only caused by the unvaxed.
(There apparently are people who believe such shit.)
Out of one side of their mouth they’ll tell you it’s worth it to “reduce the chances” and out of the other they’ll still claim that “covid zero” is a thing if we just try harder.

To be fair, this is NYC already and life goes on. I’m not going to become a test subject just to enter a fucking restaurant or bar.
I was listening to ÖRF this morning, and it sounded stricter than even what NYC is doing.
I have a friend in Vienna. She grew up under Communism in Bulgaria. She compares Vienna nowadays with Communism in Bulgaria. She’s considering going back to Bulgaria because there no one gives a shit about Covid or whatever restrictions the government tries to impose.
I’m going to a wedding in December. In Wisconsin. No Covid bullshit of any kind.
Where in Wisco?
Sheboygan.
Ah, sadly a bit too south for me to plan a trip without a couple days off. (working nights I’m only up during the day when I have multiple days off)
My attendance of the wedding is a joke. I’ve never met bride and groom.
Do they know you’re coming?
Yes. I was explicitly invited. My partner knows the groom’s parents. I’ve seen them too. His father even many times.
OK. That could have been awkward otherwise.
I hear Polka is really big in Sheboygan.
Time to go get a little work done in the yard. It’s a nice Fall day outside.

No info for the US. I feel cheated.
Gah. I had driven the neighbor from my head, but now she’s back in there living rent-free. At least I have a plan of sorts on how to proceed now after waking up pissed.
Evict the neighbor again, open the bottle.
It’s aggravating that this popped up on a Friday afternoon. I know what I want to do but I need to speak to an attorney to get it done (and for advice on the appropriateness of it).
Basically, I’m going to have my attorney return her various things (back-up car keys, house key copy and a tablet we had set up for her medical communications which she doesn’t know how to use), but on the safe combination issue (I don’t have the original, but I have a photo) she can pound a little sand. If she wants it, I’m going to demand my attorney be present for the opening and a legal waiver of sorts going forward. She obviously doesn’t have the combo right now and she appears to be either too afraid to or too cheap to hire someone to open it, so it’s my only leverage. I don’t like playing while on my heels, if she wants it, she’s got to give my family something in return, which is a guarantee to be left alone. Get picked clean by your friend, but leave us out of it.
Of course, the attorney may shit all over the idea, but I’m not required to return a digital photo of a combination that was provided to me by her, particularly one that was taken before all of this went to shit. A rational person would have had the safe opened already and the valuables moved because you can’t unshare information like that. And it’s impossible to prove that I don’t have it since I and my wife were the ones who opened it for her.
Now where’s my bottle?
And I appreciate everyone putting up with my tantrum here. The anonymity has offered me some freedom to flesh out the ideas in my head before I talk to the attorney.
Compulsive masturbation? Oh, wait that was already your plan for the day, wasn’t it.
Send your neighbor a brand new beehive. Just shake up the box before delivery.
https://mountainsweethoney.com/bees/
That’s what I would send to her vulture friend, who’s the one driving all of this. The neighbor couldn’t find and contact an attorney if her life depended on it.
And now it does.
Nice day out in Vegas. Gotta go to a ‘memorial service…really it’s an excuse to eat good food and drink good wine. It’s at a Beer and Wine store. Widow is a client of my wife’s and the one who gave use the tiki bar. Husband was ex special forces and apparently a master parachuter and local wine critic.
one of those street corner guys, eh?
What is on tap. They have an awesome selection. I started with the ‘back to the Fewture”

IPA… Sour… IPA… Sour…
*throws up a little*
Good grief. There are maybe 3 beers on that board that I would order.
I get that IPAs and Sours are popular, and they’ll make a lot of people happy with that beer list, but I wonder how many sales they lose due to that beer list.
It’s a bit of a hipster joint….so…not a lot loss in sales.
I’m sticking to the stouts, browns and I’ll try the Oltoberfest
Fair point. Know your clientele. I’m probably not their clientele.
Yes, I drink A LOT of beer. But everytime I go to these brewpubs there is nothing I want to drink. I could probably keep one in business all by myself if I liked anything they had on offer, but sadly they cater to people who drink fewer than 2 beers a day.
Some of those beers look interesting.
As an employer, I’m loathing having to hire in the spring. My 5 year contract rate definitely didn’t account for COVID or this ridiculous job market or inflation of this caliber.
So, I’ll cut some corners, probably be ok. But fuck me does it suck.
Other departments at work, who we oversee, got raises. They are now paid more than us. And management is confused why we are short staffed.
So XX signed her job offer with FedEx. Still have to do drug testing, but she got it!
Or so you assume.
Congrats to XX!
That’s great!
I imagine she’ll be quite busy in the upcoming season.
She’s starting off at an ungodly amount of money for an 18yo, but it’s a hot job market for that labor, she’s a female in a male-dominated industry, and most importantly, she likes throwing freight. A lot.
She could still go railroading if she wanted to right now. Especially if she can pass a drug test.
I gave up trying to steer her in that direction. I can’t make her responsible for my regrets and what-ifs.
It’s definitely not what it used to be and it’s not really going in a good direction. That being said, knowing people who have gone through the FEDEX grinder, at a young age, I’d take railroad in a heart beat.
Really though, if she’s looking for growth and wealth later down the line, I’d focus on a tech company. Going operations or transportation is a grind. Holidays are shit, schedules are shit and most of it’s just becoming more and more automated. The workers are seen as a necessary evil that’ll be replaced eventually. With tech, not so much.
That’s something she’s going to have to learn for herself. For the most part, she was happy at Walmart except they “never found time” to teach her how to drive the forklift, so she’s salty about that. She worked in the dairy case, though because she loves the cold while she was working. Can’t imagine what she’s going to do when it gets hot and nasty
The workers are seen as a necessary evil that’ll be replaced eventually. With tech, not so much.
I wish. Workers are seen as just extraneous. Now where’s our ML and AI and automation to bypass those pukes and turn our broken processes up to 11?
She’s starting off at an ungodly amount of money for an 18yo . . .
Meh. More power to her.
Yep. I’m thrilled for her.
Might even have to forgo bathroom breaks! Strike!
Yay!

LOL I just saw a commercial for what’s-his-name Murphy in NJ. They’re still campaigning against Trump. And apparently his Republican opponent was lying when he said “children are not vulnerable to this virus”. MASK UP, NEW JERSEY! AND REMAIN TERRIFIED.
I’ve been getting political ads from Maine on YouTube for some reason.
Well, they said we could never forget The Maine.
*feels sudden urge to invade Havana*
Well, It’s been 80 years of Hitler, we do need a new bugaboo.
I saw a Murphy commercial on the TV in the breakfast area of the hotel I stayed in on the way back from Florida.
“What would New Jerseyians do if they were governor?” “Make the rich pay their fair share”, “remove abortion restrictions”, “give more money to schools”, blah blah blah blah blah.
Then Murphy comes on and says, “But I’ve done all those things!”
NJ legislature ads are airing here. One of the streaming services fucked up.
CPRM – was it you who mention the Onion Autistic Reporter?
Because the one where he visits prison? 100% DED. “Can you stack your family?” Fuckin-a.

I’m surprised they’re still available in the current environment.
My son, who is Aspergers, absolutely loves that guy and can do a dead-on impression of him.
The trains bit is particularly hilarious.
Like all great comedy, it’s funny because of the truth. When I was a kid Aspergers wasn’t a thing, but when I was about 15 my mom was working as an aid in elementary school at got paired with an Aspie. We then realized of this kind of diagnosis, yeah that explains a lot. But, I’ve noticed those kids who got the extra treatment for the condition, like this kid an later my niece, weren’t really helped by the diagnosis and ‘help’, but hindered. So I’m kind of thankful it wasn’t a thing during my time.
The autistic reporter is me, exaggerated 100x…I love it so much!
I’m glad I was just allowed to be the “weird kid” and not shoved into some kind of box.

Too hot…even though I plan to live in SD temporarily, I have a feeling I’ll wind up in WY.
Now we’re in the classic aspie stand-off. I’d run for governor if I had people who supported me, but people who support me won’t move here unless I become governor. Same thing happened with a cartoon I wanted to make in college. My animator (this was before I bit the bullet and just did it myself) didn’t want to start production unless the cartoon was already green-lit by the college TV station, the college TV station didn’t want to green-light it until I had already produced it.
I filled in the likely mouse access point with steel wool and spray foam. Judging by how far in I was able to push the steel wool with the probe, I am more confident that it was their point of entry.
Don’t know how many others there may be, but the more routes get cut, the better.
I’ve had them chew through steel wool before. They are a bitch to deal with. With my house having a dirt basement and a boiler system, they always find a way in with the piping. I can smell a dead one in my living room right now, but I can’t find it. Such lovely smell *vomits*
The upside of a dense neighborhood and concrete basement is that deterrance will drive them to someone else’s house. I just have to make my place as uninviting as possible. Right now all it offers is shelter and death, not food or water.
Steel wool, dipped in Bitrex.
In the field we always used an oakum rope soaked in cyanide and then filled over the top of that with an inch of quickrete. It worked like a charm.
I’m not sure I could get the cyanide without a visit from various government agencies. Darn irrational city folk.
And the hole is in wood structure, though I suppose filling it with concrete is still feasible.
I just went down an internet rabbit hole trying to find the stuff. Apparently the Railroad must have it on special order, maybe through Grainger. You could always just buy the oakum and add a bunch of long lasting rat poison to it too.
I’ll keep that in mind.
I’m into the “monitor the current effort” stage.
Pretty sure hooters and all of the ’employees’ complaining about the new uniform got exactly what they all wanted. Win win!

The amount of vitriol launched at Komuro is shocking to anyone outside of Japan. “The hate Komuro campaign stems from the sexism of a patriarchal order,” professor Jeff Kingston at Temple University, author of the seminal modern history text Contemporary Japan, told The Daily Beast. “They can’t tolerate women making their own choices and standing up to male authority. The shameless attack on his looks is not journalism. It’s institutionalized bullying with a green light from powers that be.”

Seems like it is more of a “what if” article than an actual shortage based on monopolization. We did have record demand for bullets. And at the same time, factories in some states shut down. True that if you have one giant factory, this could be an issue, but for the most part I think the giant demand drove this. Curious what others think.
Cartelization is nothing new. It seems more likely explained by increased demand, regulatory burdens, and supply chain issues. Plus even gun friendly areas will play the NIMBY game when dealing with raw lead.
But that demand has kept up, so if there is a dollar to be made, somebody will find a way to increase supply.
Palmetto state is setting up shop in the US to make steel cased commie calibers.

I read the LA Times article on the Baldwin shooting. The language they are using to describe the incident is an amazing exercise in crafting language to avoid implying fault on Baldwin’spart. It’s like the gun jumped up and loaded itself after “Cold Gun” was called, climbed into Baldwin’s holster, and waited for him to draw it to do its evil deed. Some examples (note the difference in wording about how a stunt double “accidentally fired two rounds,” but the cinematographer was “killed by the prop gun fired by Baldwin.”
Baldwin wrote:
That seems like the kind of thing you write about an accident that you had no part in, not one in which you are the prime mover.
Baldwin removed the gun from its holster once without incident, but the second time he did so,
he cocked the hammer and squeezed the trigger and
ammunition flew toward the trio around the monitor.
The LA Times can pay me for an hour’s worth of editing.

I’m probably just being over-paranoid again but…..I was doing some prep in my crawlspace (putting down a 4 month pest thingy and adding some weatherstripping to the entrance) and I noticed what appears to be a wet spot in the wood overhead. Didn’t feel wet at the time but looks darker than surrounding wood and evidence of possible drippage on the floor. – I *don’t think* it’s “legacy” because I probably would have noticed earlier in the year….but maybe not.
That section is directly underneath my washing machine. Now, when I got back inside, I checked my washer – it sits on the floor, inside a flat little plastic tub/bin (a couple inches high) and I’ve never yet seen water around it or had a wet floor. HOWEVER…the “drain” hose goes down a space in the wall between the garage inner wall and my house inner wall – and I have no way to get visibility on that hose or the connections – absent maybe a flexible scope and light (is that a cheap option that would be advised?). If I do find a disconnection in there though….I have no idea how I would access it to adjust/repair without ripping out the wall – although presumably someone was able to do it when they hooked up the washer drain the first time….
Suggestions?
You can get cheap USB borescope cameras on Amazon that would help you inspect that drain pipe.
Ignore it!
?
Is it paint over drywall? Open up the wall cavity or bore a hole and stick an endoscope in there. I see them for not that much on Amazon that attach to your smartphone.
The washing machine hose “should” be resting in the drain pipe and not a watertight connection. Should also be a p trap between the pipe and drain line.
How does the water drain outside then? I was looking for “scope lights” on lowes.com without luck. Forgot some of the terminology.
I’ll definitely try that.
There is a “plastic fitting” in the wall with the hot/cold water connections and a small hole next to those with the drain hose feeding down to….the drain?
Your washing machine drains to the outside? Where do you live, West Virginia?
Ours did in California, when I was a wee boy.
Betcha there’s some lint in the trap, it happens over time, snake it out and then run a load,
The way they’re doing laundry drains these days is to install a unit like this, that has spots for drain piping as well as the hot and cold water supply lines. You might consider installing one of these in the wall if you have to replace the drain anyway.

Remodel maybe, but repair? nah…
Ok…maybe I’m missing something – or we’re talking past each other. I already have something like the upper link. But there is a flexible hose for the drain water going down a hole next to those 2 colored connectors – my question is maybe there’s a leak in that plastic hose somewhere before it connects to something else….
I’ll order a scope to take a look.
That box should be connected to a hard piped drain–if there’s a leak it’s either in the drain piping or as someone else suggested, the drain is partially blocked and it’s filling up and overflowing, possibly inside the wall. If the drain pipe isn’t fitted into that box anymore, you might not notice any leakage at all, and it may be a very small amount, so that it runs down the outside of the pipe and then under the flooring.
I bet if you scope the drain pipe, you’ll find a blockage, or, somewhat less likely, the drain pipe is cracked or not glued properly, or it may be that if the house has old plumbing, that someone just jammed a new drain pipe into the old fitting and it slowly has been leaking for years and you just noticed it.
If the plastic hose is leaking it would only be a problem before it goes into the drain, that should be drain pipe from there on.
like so
That hole is the drain pipe. Your machine machine hose should just be resting inside of it, without a mechanical connection. Like so
https://cdn-cjfng.nitrocdn.com/DEnkdlmsaJlUXtOOJMZwGKblUPDWTiMO/assets/static/optimized/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/d5f173462a770ac6de29186d3806fbc0.Washing-machine-diagram-1.png
It may not be leaking from the drain pipe either. Depending on the age and water quality, the moisture could be coming from your supply lines, either a leak somewhere or perhaps condescending. Or the moisture is from something else, particularly if it’s on an exterior wall.
House is only about 8 or 9 years old. I’m second owner.
I ordered a scope. I’ll look this week and report back.
Thanks for the tips.
I would run a quick washing machine cycle and after some water is in the washin* tub, start a spin cycle. Hold the drain hose, that is resting in the drain, above the drain to make sure water drains normally during spin cycle.
If yes, make sure drain hose is well seated in drain between red and blue valves.
Next check for water back up in that drain between red and blue valves. Check for water stains etc. You can dump some water down that drain to make sure it doesnt backup.
Check that overflow protector the washer is sitting in for damage. Some washers vibrate roughly during spin cycles and the washer legs will damage what they rest on.
Next dump some draino in that washer drain between red and blue valves to remove any gray water (lint/hair) blockages in that drain. If you get massive foaming action or smell, the draino is breaking some organic blockage.
Next camera that drain pipe or cut the wall to inspect drain pipe.
A water leak can get very expensive very quickly.
Hope this helps.
Also check that when washer is operating, water is not sloshing out of washer tub onto washer overflow and going over onto floor. Some washers cant handle full loads of laundry and the water level is too much for the washer tub, which then leaks onto the floor through the washing machine.
“or perhaps condescending.”
Damned uppity Condensation!
Will Fauci be sacrificed to try to boost Gropey’s approval rating?
They’re sharpening their knives. I linked an article yesterday from some “political consultant”about how Biden can get away with throwing the “polarizing” Foochy under the bus.
You can get cheap USB borescope cameras on Amazon that would help you inspect that drain pipe.
Harbor Freight, too, I think.
Looks like a fun toy. My suggestion also, if you can disconnect the line, is to try and pour some bleach down. You may have debris causing a plug which then led to a leak. If the fluids don’t go down quickly you have a situation. The bleach might clean it out.
I didn’t post the link. I is asshoe.

Do a few loads of laundry .and go back to the crawlspace and see if that spot is wet/dripping.
So, Penn State shits the bed and proves their ranking – like Iowa’s – was a fraud. Next week, off to Columbus where tOSU can once again destroy Coach Franklin’s game “plan.”
Why are ties a bad thing?
*shrug*
I prefer ties be an option.
Fucks up the sports books.
As much as it pains me to admit, Strawberry Shortcut Is better than Baghdad Bob at her job.
That’s only because you don’t see a family of illegals running behind her.
Yusef, not sure if you’re a fan of Dream Theater, but you may like the first song off their new album. It’s called “The Alien”
I like DT plenty, but them’s some derivitave lyrics right there, I know, I have written hundreds of songs, and some are pretty bad.
Hell Yes! this is Badass! typical DT!

While cycling the last couple days I’ve noticed a correlation between bad driving and wearing a mask in the car.
You mean idiots? Right?
Did anyone catch this week? The school board knew a month before the board president publicly lied about knowing. I’ve been at a conference in Vegas.
(Any Vegas Glibs around for the next few days wanna grab a beer some evening?)

I read about it yesterday or maybe two days ago. The superintendent flat out lied. His supporters now get to choose between his job and the narrative.
When and where Ozy
The meme has legs like Secretariat.
Hooters: I’ve been to one twice in 20 years. I would have gone to check this (them) out… once. Their food sucks. Thanks for canceling this and not wasting my time.
Breastaurants (Asstaurants) are stupid.
I’m at the Excalibur until Wednesday for a conference. I caught the Knights v. Oilers game last night across the street. McDavid is really that good in person, too.
I don’t know Vegas that well, but let’s talk offline. Shoot me a forum message and I’ll get back with you later today.

@Ozy, you haz mail from me.
I know you’re at a conference. Just wanted to make sure you got it.
