HERO KID SHOOTS HOME INTRUDER: “He started crying like a little baby.”
LIMEYS FINALLY HAD ENOUGH: Motorists pull Insulate Britain activists off highway they were blocking. IB suspends ‘civil resistance’ campaign. And who is Insulate Britain, you ask? Far-right, nationalist group? Pro-vax group calling for New Zealand-style isolation? No, ‘climate activists,’ who are an affiliate of those zanies at Extinction Rebellion.
INCENTIVES, HOW DO THEY WORK: City of San Francisco decriminalizes shoplifting, surprised when retailers close up shop.
FLORIDA MAN: Shoots down law enforcement drone. Can’t say we really blame him given this.
“No, ‘climate activists,’ who are an affiliate of those zanies at Extinction Rebellion.”
Still a great name though.

Ouch. Gotta lower my thermostat to 69, I guess. Doing my bit for the planet.
I looked at the thermometer in the living room at noon, 69, it felt cold but Mrs F had a sweater on and was busy working. I like it a little warmer. I’m gonna start a fire in the little basement stove, warm up my office/living room.
I have a wood-burning fireplace which does a great job heating the air above the chimney. Other than being pretty it is otherwise useless.
#metoo
Retrofit a wood stove, and your heating woes will be over. Since you have a chimney, you’ve got the hard/expensive part. Probably need a new pad for the woodstove, and they may need to run a stainless flue up the chimney. So, its not cheap, but its very doable.
Thanks, RC. I need to figure out if it will be worth it, since I plan to leave within 5 years.
A Buck Stove insert works wonders and blends right into the fireplace. Had one in back when I was a bachelor living with other young officers.

WASHINGTON, Oct 14 (Reuters) – U.S. Senator Kyrsten Sinema, a key moderate, told fellow Democrats in the House of Representatives this week that she will not vote for a multitrillion-dollar package that is a top priority for President Joe Biden before Congress approves a $1 trillion infrastructure bill, according to a source briefed on the meeting.

“Wow. I have never had to think before.”
Campus Reform reporter Ophelie Jacobson talked to students at the University of Florida on game day about diversity quotas. She first asked students if they support diversity quotas in hiring decisions and in college admissions processes. Most of the students said yes. …
Jacobson then showed students what the Florida Gators’ offensive lineup would look like if the team implemented diversity quotas based on student population demographics. Students didn’t think it would be fair to implement the quota for the team.
“THAT’S DIFFERENT!”
Well, it’s certainly made clear that FAMU/FSU has hotter student bodies and better tailgating.
“Liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor says court changed rules so justices speak one at a time because the women were interrupted at twice the rate of the men
‘Most of the time women say things and they are not heard in the same way as men who might say the identical thing,’ Sotomayor said during a talk with the New York University school of law on diversity and inclusion.
Sotomayor said that the rules were changed permanently after data from one study which found that during arguments for the 2015 term, females were interrupted during oral arguments 141 times while males, only 73. Females interrupted others during oral arguments 37 times, while males interrupted others 177 times.”

There’s a strong argument to be made for spirited debate, at least in my world of conducting and participating in management meetings. The most important prerequisite to such is that there’s a high level of trust in the group – trust that there are no hard feelings afterward, you’re respected in spite of differing opinions…
Trying to think about what this means for SC Justices, and what this would mean if a member of my staff requested such a meeting rule. I think that member would be laughed out of the room, and I’d consider firing it. It’s actually part of our review process to critique management on their assertiveness and courage to speak up.
That study is meaningless unless they also measured speaking time. Long-winded people deserve to be interrupted. Brevity is the soul of wit.
Blah, blah, blah. Try saying something worth listening to, honey.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/14/fda-panel-unanimously-recommends-moderna-covid-booster-shots-for-at-risk-adults.html
A key Food and Drug Administration advisory committee unanimously recommended Thursday giving booster shots of Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine to people age 65 and older and other vulnerable Americans, a crucial step before the U.S. can start administering third shots to some of the more than 69 million people who originally received that vaccine.
The nonbinding decision by the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee would bring guidelines for Moderna in line with third shots of Pfizer and BioNTech’s vaccine. Those shots were authorized less than a month ago to a wide array of Americans, including the elderly, adults with underlying medical conditions and those who work or live in high-risk settings like health and grocery workers.
Will need to deal with this next spring.
And this is the evidence the FDA used to authorize the Moderna booster.
YouTube is assho. Change my mind.
YouTube suspended Steven Crowder’s channel for one week on Wednesday, claiming the conservative pundit and comedian violated the platform’s rules against hate speech.
YouTube’s counsel sent an email to Crowder’s attorney, William Richmond, informing him of the strike against Crowder’s account and explaining that a September 30 video uploaded to Crowder’s channel “targets the transgender community in an offensive manner,” according to a copy of the email. YouTube has blocked Crowder from posting videos to his main and auxiliary accounts for one week.

Hate speech is not allowed on YouTube, and in some cases, we remove content or issue other penalties–such as a strike–when a creator repeatedly targets, insults and abuses a protected group based on attributes such as sexual orientation or gender identity and expression across multiple uploads.”

Well that was one of the nastiest colds I’ve ever had: it took four days of exhaustion before the main symptoms hit: a throat that felt like broken glass and snot. It was a total of 9 or 10 days before I got enough strength back to workout and do the other things I need to do.
I never had a fever, reduction of breath volume (which is awesome thanks to my fitness), or a loss of taste.
I blame COVID – not the disease – but the social distancing aspect which probably made my immune system weaker.
Glad you feel better. Interesting to hear about your experience. Seems everyone has a different one.
Glad you’re feeling better. Spot on about social distancing, there are a lot of nasty bugs circulating now. Extinction Rebellion is happy, I am sure.
I’m glad you are feeling better. You hammering the zinc, D3/K2 and all the other immunity things?
So we had another datapoint and that was a hockey game. Same damn thing, 4-5 days after the event: groggy, head fog type feeling, mild ‘cold symptoms’ for half a day and then fine.
Seriously blame the whole social distancing factor and not being constantly exposed to various pathogens on a weekly/monthly basis for that.
We’ve been taking multivites plus C/D/Zinc during our road trip for that reason. Didn’t want to come down with something halfway through the trip because our immune systems were out of practice. I’m the kind of person who gets a cold (or allergies that morph into a cold) most every time I travel, but not this trip! *knocks on wood for the last 2 days*

Once we get this camel in the tent, they’ll never want it to leave
Progressive House Democrats have put down their marker in the debate over how to cut costs from President Joe Biden’s sprawling economic plan.
Top Congressional Progressive Caucus members on Wednesday urged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to keep all of the proposed programs in the package intact. Instead, they proposed cutting the duration of the programs in order to reduce spending. Top Democrats are deciding whether to make policies last for fewer years or scrap programs entirely in order to slash the plan’s price tag to appease centrists.
——-
The representatives added that they believe setting up temporary programs will “establish a track record of success that will pave the way for a longterm extension of benefits.”
“Track record of success”
Umm hmmm.
Like all those other great programs that lifted millions of people out of poverty. ::eye roll::
Poverty in this country is pretty good (for now) compared to poverty in many other nations.
We use a “relative poverty” metric meaning it will never really go down in any significant way unless things are very very bad.
In terms of absolute poverty. we have little to none. Unless voluntary.
The value of welfare alone here is much higher than what workers in most countries make.
We’ve been fighting the Wars on Poverty and Drugs for over 50 years. Victory is just around the corner.
Damn the torpedos, full speed ahead.
Actually, we won long ago. There’s no one surviving on a dollar a day or subsistence farming in this country. Problem is, the poverty level is a moving target, so no matter how good it gets, they’ll set an arbitrary spot on the bell curve, and anyone below that is “impoverished”.
There’s too many government-funded occupations that rely on plenty of folks being “in poverty” for poverty to ever go away.
“Track record of success”
Well it would have succeeded if not for the wreckers, Kulaks, and saboteurs.
We just need more money.
HASSAN! CHOP!

Oh, FFS. Could there be a more stupidly transparent ploy.
“Look, it doesn’t cost $5.5TT over 10 years, it costs only $2.75TT over 5 years!”
Yeah, and then it will all disappear and not be re-upped.
Are they also promising to sunset the tax increases in 5 years?
I didn’t think so.
While Democrats have not agreed to a final price tag, it could end up at around $2 trillion or less, down from $3.5 trillion. Party leaders aim to win over centrist Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., who could sink the proposal on their own as Democrats try to pass it without Republican votes.
Austerity. Crumbs. A pittance.
If I had that much spending available I would have monuments to my glory that would make the Pharaohs blush.

Making the world a better place
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on Thursday tore into President Biden’s move to re-enter the U.N. Human Rights Council – which has been dogged by controversy over the human rights abusers among its members, and which Haley branded a “cesspool.”
“If President Biden truly cared about human rights, he would keep us far away from the cesspool that is the UN Human Rights Council,” Haley said in a statement to Fox News.
——-
Biden had promised that the U.S. would rejoin the Council if he was elected to the White House, and that his administration would “work to ensure that body truly lives up to its values.”

GAH!
Don’t give a damn what the Atlantic has to say.
That was a pretty good interview. Mann handled it with grace and ease.
Heh.
I’ve been looking at the Wikipedia page for Pahrump, my new “town”.
I heard about some bizarre murders there recently, Blowtorches, blind folds and walking off a cliff, by force, Pack some heat,
Everyone there packs heat. Besides…that particular murder was to the North East of Vegas and nowhere near Pahrump.
Sounds justified to me.
Misinformation! they said Pahrump, TMITE?
Nope I found the other Cathedral Canyon in Nevada…apparently we have two It was on the outskirts just out of town and over the hump.
You sir, are correct.
“Pack some heat.”
Roger, Wilco.
Probably have to get a NV driver’s license first though. They don’t want to get stung by some California undercover anti-ammo operation.
Reading what happened…sounds like meth was certainly involved and a woman that for whatever reason fingered that dude as someon who hurt her kid. Rednecks united and did what meth heads will do.
I’m planning to activate the home security system when I get there.
I think the best plan is to be open and meet the neighbors to establish myself as “OK” so that they have my back.
Shouldn’t be too hard.
I just called the local Enterprise Car Rental in Pahrump to get wheels for my spouse until he buys a car (his Ford finally rusted through last week), and I heard a rooster crowing in the background.
I have a feeling that I’m gonna love this little non-town. 🙂
I have two techs that live out there. They absolutely love it.

Unless “allow” means something different in Kraut, I don’t see the problem.
Of course you don’t.
You see no issue at all with that?
That the state is allowing businesses to make their own policies? Other than this isn’t just considered the norm and they have to make an official announcement about it, no. I see no issue.
Article 26a
The natural basis of human life is under protection by the state and the municipalities.
Except for this one…this one instance, we are leaving it up to the companies to determine if you need to just die. Don’t look at us! It was that business that did it!
Article 27
The social and economical order is based on the recognition of the dignity and the personality of man.
Well…only some that we have decided are not worthy of that recognition.
I may be misunderstanding your position so forgive me if I’m wrong, but you seem to be saying that if the state doesn’t force people to do business with the unvaxxed than no one will willingly do so, thus the state must force businesses to cater to the unvaxxed. Isn’t that getting into “bake the cake” territory?
It’s true..where do we find the balance? However, missing out on a pretty picture with your dream cake isn’t the same as I can’t go buy food.
Once again, I see your point and agree, but Rhywun (blow) also has a point I was struggling to articulate.
below*
(although the typo made me snicker)
The balance is found when we* let each business do as they want. Markets, individual choice, greed, etc will do the balancing, I use to think this was libertarianism/free market economics 101, but maybe it is I whom is wrong.
*the royal ‘we’ the editorial ‘we’
I will depart here. You aren’t taking into account that this is NOT a free market.
Additionally all these supposed “free market” businesses take govt bailouts and other taxpayer monies to avoid moral hazard.
They also full support accommodation laws..this denial of service is different because reasons…
Just to be clear, you’re cool with citizens using fake vaxports to bypass the restrictions, right?
If you can fool the business owner, sure. I mean, I personally would feel dirty resorting to such extremes just to eat lunch at a place that really would rather not serve me, but everyone gets to do their own moral calculations and act accordingly.
Seems to me that the state is using backdoor shenanigans to get their preferred policy installed universally because they know that the majority of customers will demand it and no store will consider not implementing it.
Bullshit, their are stores that cater to all kinds of tiny sub cultures, if not expressly forbidden by the state, someone is going to sell food to the unwashed morans that wont accept the science.
That’s how you sell your argument!
Its fascism. Businesses would never implement customer restrictions on their own because its a stupid business decision to lose customers for sniffles. The govt cant get Americans to accept a nation vax mandates, so they are muscling businesses to do the dirty work.
If businesses can deny customers access for no vax, then customers can sue the business any adverse medical effects they get from being forced to get the vax just to buy groceries.
Georgia has a state law that removes any business liability with regard to catching CoVID.
So georgia businesses dont require masks nor the genomtherapy.
More context.
Yeah, here I go again…I think I’m with Hype here. Don’t we all believe that businesses have the right to make these decisions?
Don’t we all believe that businesses have the right to make these decisions?
Yes.
But we don’t live in that world.
We live in a world of public accommodation.
A legitimate solution is for the store to ask for vaccination documents or scan for temperature. Excluding people that are sick is fine.
Many of these stores have pharmacies and small clinics. You literally go there when you are sick. Excluding sick people is retarded if that is part of your business.
Everyone on earth needs to be exposed to COVID. Its just one of those biological weapons that is defeated by exposure and surviving it.
The government forces the businesses to pick either one form of restrictions (3G, see above) or the other form (2G). If a business does neither then I believe stricter social distancing measures have to be imposed in a store. So, perhaps, there are 3 ways of proceeding. All are restrictive and imposed by the government. And then libertarians praise the right of business owners to “make” a decision. They are fucking blackmailed.
Sure. As Mo’ notes above, this is not a truly free market. It’s bad faith to argue they are making a decision of their own when in reality they are allowed to make one of three decisions.
And what does Kassel have to say about that?
In other words, what is the Kassel doctrine?
I remember when hessians were cool.
All Germany needed to get back to its Nazi roots was time.
The unvaxxed will have to wear yellow stars and are only allowed one piece of luggage when they are resettled in the East.

“The SF proggies might be OK with evil retail outlets closing due to theft, they’re getting everything from Amazon anyway. I wonder if they’ll be OK when their online purchases are no longer arriving because there are no more stores left to rob.”
I deal with this all the time. Just yesterday thieves crowbarred open a front door to a building to steal packages. The proggie tenant that was my contact there couldn’t understand the link between the non enforcement of theft and more theft. “Well this sort of thing is happening all over the country, she said. “Yes ma’am it is. But we here in SF are leading the country in property crimes. It’s not a mystery why. Incentives matter.” “Well, I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.”
Btw, our DA was endorsed by the Libertarian Party.
So she said you have to agree to disagree without actually having a hypothesis of why?
“Agree to disagree” has transformed from “live and let live/ you do you” into “I can’t win with logic so I will stop the conversation before my brain hurts.”
So much this,
I am going to have to say we need to agree to disagree on this.
Does that count as “ begging the question”?
The conversation was more than that and I could see that my logical interjections were causing some discomfort with proggie dogma so I was happy to agree to that and not mention anything more
The conversation was more than that and I could see that my logical interjections were causing her some discomfort with proggie dogma so I was happy to agree to that and not mention anything more and just repair the door.
“Agree to disagree” = “I don’t understand what you said.”
I’ve done a fair bit of researching on crime and at the beginning of the lockdowns I made the prediction that we would see vastly increased crime in this country. The last year was the highest recorded single year increase in violent crime. Tearing up the social fabric tends to do that. I mentioned that to her earlier in the conversation and she didn’t like that. So when I also mentioned the DA and how we have incentivized crime here she really didn’t want to hear any more from me. I happily finished the door in silence.
TBF, I don’t think anybody likes having their worldview challenged. Well, I don’t anyway. It takes a lot of time and a lot of repetition of events to get me to change my mind because at some point I’ve subsumed my intellectual reasons into feelings and can no longer articulate my rationale for believing a thing.
For instance, if some time in the future, it is shown that the vax was prescient and good and wonderful and all that (just for argument’s sake!) I would have a hard time letting go of my current thoughts and feelings about it.
Any polite way of saying “drop the subject” is A-OK n my book.
Absolutely Mo, yes most people are like that. I personally am not as I really love debate. But it is crucial like NA said to pick up on when to exit such a conversation as many people don’t really want their beliefs questioned.
Lefties still want taxpayers to cover their idiot life choices that never work.
Btw, our DA was endorsed by the Libertarian Party

By putting a “(D)” after his name?
I didn’t know the LP had endorsed that commie asshat Boudin.
That’s a new low.
Yup it is Boudin. He won by getting more second and third place votes (we have ranked choice and he didn’t win the most first votes). I was still an LP member and so received their endorsements at that time. After that and the GayJo/Weld fiasco I dropped the LP and registered independent.
And I will add that Boudin just narrowly missed a recall election that was funded by conservatives (yes they exist here). He is now facing a recall by progressives. Even they have realized that it aínt cool to just let criminals have open season. I think this next one may succeed. I stand to lose business if so, but I very much want his ass gone.
The skinsuit is pretty well rotten at this point.
It beggars belief.
The LP is run by disgruntled Democrats, anarchists, Commies in hiding, LINOs, and wackadoos. The average person who advocates libertarian principles tend to be good folks.
Same with the GOP being run by RINO, exdemocrats, commies in hiding, neocons, and spineless politicians. The average Republican tends to good people.

Does Japan even encourage foreign investment? I always thought they wanted to keep foreign owners out.
They pay it lip service, but in practice actively try to prevent it.
Typical OBE sibling after-dinner conversation (add slurring speech where needed) “Screw you older brother, you have done nothing except live in your academic bubble!” “Yeah will little brother, you have worked for the government that you hate for 15+ years” “Im a self made woman, single mom that worked my ass off to get my degree and the job I have”….I love you bro, I love you too — hey sis, what do you have for food around here?
I don’t talk to my sisters anymore.
I don’t think the drama is worth it.
If you notice, she is actually the sane, normal one in the story that is just doing what she needs to regardless of the politics around her. Kinda my hero.
I couldn’t tell who was saying what in the story. I can’t even tell how many people are speaking. I’m glad you still talk to your family.
My Sister is the reason i live in MI, one of my greatest friends, I’m glad to have her,
Oh to add a twist to the Norway story…dude was a Muslim convert and looks like Private Pyle.

Surprise, surprise, surprise.
HEH,
“Back Home in Indianaaaaaaa”
Now he is in a world of shit.
If Sanjay actually believed that, he should have said it to refute Rogan or at least challenge him. I am smelling a sweet deal for his book sales.
CNN’s @DonLemon
: “It is not a lie to say that [Ivermectin] is used as a horse de-wormer. I think that’s important. And it is not approved for Covid.”
@drsanjaygupta
: “Correct … If you look at the data, there is no evidence that it really works [against Covid].”
It’s not a lie, but it’s extremely misleading in this context. What an asshole.
It is a lie. There are many studies that show it works, i.e., lessens mortality, etc.
COVID has kill zero people. The SAS-COVID virus can cause complication maladies that kill people.
Ivermectin treats some of those complication maladies.
Isn’t this just like saying AIDS has killed zero people?
Ooh… Toy Galaxy gives a nice history of Choose-Your-Own-Adventure – https://youtu.be/B-f5YelgmMs
Woo! I will have to watch that.
I thought I’d seen all the Norm Macdonald on Letterman bits, but this was new to me.

Oh Norm. You are a legend.
Brilliant… “The Statler Brothers were here!”
“That’s the beauty of it; I can.”
Lol
“Nothing….they’re all muttering criminally insane things to each other.”
ALOL
Poor hosts can never keep up.
Thanks! I’d never seen that either.

Finales are kinda hard, a lot of elements need resolution, but you need to stay coherent, I suck at this,
You got this. Maybe step away for a few days and come back, re-read everything. You can’t force focus.
It was all a dream.
When I took a short story writing class a couple of years ago, we were expressly, specifically forbidden from using that as a plot resolution.
Even if you set it up on page 1 that the main character was asleep and the real problem being that they can’t wake up?
Dammit! Now I wish I’d written a story with that plot, just to see if I could get away with it.
I guess I’ll have to take the class again.
What about snowglobe-inspired autistic ruminations?
Inception
I’m pretty sure at least one of the writers for American Horror Story lurks here. Another plot element ripped from Glibs.
What was the plot element?
Horrors happening in the White House tunnels was the second. The first was who can get pregnant.
A sentient talking hat?
Astrids perky boobs…..
They’re real, and they’re magnificent.
Society isn’t collapsing, you just fail to see the grand vision being realized right before your eyes.
Also, I love that DSA types are trying to dunk on capitalism by pointing out the manifest, manifold failures of government interventions into markets. I mean, they could make a point about woke CEOs betraying their employees and investors by pushing unpopular tropes in their advertising and product lines, that’s a much more salient complaint about modern capitalism… but somehow I doubt they will.
If there is no moral hazard, then its not capitalism.
My storied future is dark, but it’s from Ozy’s tale we will arise!
Goalie kitty.
All our gmo efforts going into boosting plant productivity… when we should be engineering sports playing animals. smdh
Wrong.
A wee bit of cat DNA.
