My shopping list yesterday was short, but I needed to buy a can of pumpkin. Yes I’m a godless heretic for buying it in a can, deal with it. Turns out there was no pumpkin to be found, and I needed some pumpkin.
So I went to the Food City in my neighborhood. Food City is a local grocer owned by an Uncle Fester looking dude that once ran for governor that doesn’t sell chicken, they sell pollos….there was an entire end cap filled top to bottom with canned pumpkin. Apparently the Mexicans have no need for pumpkin during the third week of November.
Here’s some links!

The “far-right” is back in Chile, get the helicopters ready:
In a speech to supporters late Sunday, Kast doubled down on his far right rhetoric, framing the Dec. 19 runoff as a choice between “communism and liberty.” He blasted Boric as a puppet of Chile’s Communist Party — a member of the broad coalition supporting his candidacy — who would pardon “terrorists,” be soft on crime and promote instability in a country that has recently been wracked by protests laying bare deep social divisions.
I would like to know more about his stance on taxes before I endorse.

“My shopping list yesterday was short, but I needed to buy a can of pumpkin. Yes I’m a godless heretic for buying it in a can, deal with it. ”
I’m using a can I bought five years ago.
You have pedialyte and barf bags ready?
If the can is uncompromized and hasn’t developed botulism, it’ll be fine, just flavorless.
I don’t see why it would be flavorless.
Because it’s a can of mushy squash with some cinnamon added.
There is no cinnamon in canned pumpkin.
Yes, but the Pedialyte was purchased in 2013.

I sent to the butcher to buy steak and ended up stuck in a turkey line. Fortunately, I managed to get out of there with two hefty NY Strip steaks that aren’t the extra thin cuts the grocery store sells.
My fridge is overstuffed now. I don’t have any pumpkin though.
Oh, the only turkey I have is in the half a turkey sub.
Look at this guy, sending to the butcher for things. Must be nice to have servants.

There is a reason they chose Latin America. There was/is a lot of sympathy for that flavor of authoritarianism in that part of the world.

Trying to find actual pie pumpkins around here is a pain to begin with. After reading from some of the chefs, the extra time and work doesn’t seem worth it. Of course, there’s always the question of what kind of squash is in the can of pumpkin regardless. There’s a couple places around here (including Trader Joe’s) who do sell canned butternut squash and canned pumpkin.
Once you douse it in spice, it’ll be hard to tell which squash it started out as.
Kabocha pie.
Yep. There was a brewery that took this to the correct route, and produced a Nunkin pumpkin spiced beer. The Brulosophy home brewing blog did a blind taste test to see if people could tell the difference between that and a beer made with pumpkin.
I thought that was pretty common. The spice is what the “pumpkin” drinkers are after.
You’d think that… but it really isn’t (at least in my experience). At least one local brewery brags that they only use pumpkins from local farms, which is why they’re pumpkin ale is usually out later. Several homebrewing friends of mine after I sent them that article, were adamant that “they could tell the difference”, and continued to buy canned pumpkin to add to the mash every year.
You could also make sweet potato pie, if you didn’t want to use squash or anything canned.
I could. But I’m not planning on much in the way of cooking for the holidays this week. Put in a grocery store order yesterday afternoon (for pickup today) that was out of stock on an annoying amount of items. But tomorrow I’ll be roasting a chicken for dinner, then stripping the bones and such to drop into the instant pot to make stock overnight, and then making chicken soup on Thursday. If the girlfriend is still laid out tomorrow, then I may just skip the roasting the chicken, and make chicken soup tomorrow for the next couple of days.

A politician who delivers on his promises.
Let’s start with him.
in this case given the guy’s priors this was ridiculous. But excessive bail in many parts of the US is a real thing and I’m all for stopping it.

Darn shame I have well water.
excessive bail in many parts of the US is a real thing
Yup. Not sure about the solution, but there is this concept of a speedy trial written down somewhere which if adhered to might mitigate the problem. Spending a few days in the slammer waiting for trial isn’t great, but turning that few days into months and years is a very bad thing and happens far too frequently.
Plus in this case I read that “divert” as the same as “put into treatment”. He means that he is going to put someone in a substance abuse program who in turn kills somebody.
That isn’t what happened in here from my understanding. So it makes that one “kill” quote even more out of context.
– x number of insurrectionists.
One factor to use in bail calculation, does the accused have a history of skipping bail like Mr Party Crasher?
The constitution guarantees nonexcessive bail for all defendants. If you violate reasonable terms of bail, then the definition of nonexcessive might require more money.
Speedy trial is also important to justice.
Not fair for defendants when DAs can sit on indictments and investigations then give newly charged defendants 1 week to prepare a defense.
The criminal justice is so broken that it requires massive overhaul. Making it so only serious crimes of injury and theft are given prosecution priority and end all victimless crimes like drugs and vice crimes would be a good start.
The big problem is granting bail to someone who has recently skipped out on bail.
I can’t imagine an amount that would be excessive for a bail jumper.
So more than $1k?
Judge just set his bail at $5million cash. If somebody does pay that bail, that guy better have his head on a swivel – people might hunt him down.
^this. They used to use bail for bounty hunters to hunt down bail skippers dead or alive. For murder anyway.
The constitution is silent on what the courts can do to get return defendants to appear for trial.
People might want to look closer at that “overall approach”.
The process is the punishment.
Prosecutors overcharge defendants and use excessive bail to force plea bargains.
Bail reform is necessary.
The fuckup in this case does not change that.
“Prosecutors overcharge defendants and use excessive bail to force plea bargains.”
Forget reforming bail. Reform the prosecutors.
Embrace “and”.
There is a real interest in having plea bargains in the criminal justice system. How fucked up that system is pretty much requires all defendants to endure a speedy trial so prosecutors are forced to follow the constitution and drop charges for cases they cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt.

Yeah, Pinochet didn’t get them all. She was a communist like AOC is a communist. Except possibly even more privileged. The divorce was acrimonious, no children.

From the last post re kei trucks. Jalopnik posts the meeting attendees and doesn’t have a clue as to who is what. CA and OR have been hostile to kei trucks for years. OR has had the exact language up for several years now being used by the AAMVA as the grounds for their policy and used elsewhere. I don’t think it’s a coincidence. I think those two states in particular are pushing these bans.
They will ban classic cars as soon as the foundation is laid. If modern safety standards are the new standard for everything, no way could older cars let alone something like a Model A be allowed on the road.
There are a lot of rich people with car collections.
It will be interesting to see the politics at play that will allow them to keep their collections while the guy down the street with 1970 Nova has to send his to the crusher.
I predict an NFA-style tax stamp and pre-approval process that is beyond the reach of the average car owner.
Restricted registration/plates that only allow usage on public roads as part of an official parade/organized ride/or an educational nonprofit. That would cover the well off and well connected and screw over Joe Classicsixpack who wants to run errands on Saturday in his baby. Not to mention Johnny Dirtbag who wants to use his as a daily driver.
This is another reason flying cars were never subsidized by govt. once you leave the roads, govt has a harder time piling on personal vehicle/plane requirements. Only postal roads are mentioned in the constitution.

Finally got my hands on it. Double conformed it’s a Spanish M43. It has a Falangist crest engraved in the metal. Who knows if that was carved after the war in an attempt to add value or if it was really used in the war. Can’t find any info on the serial number.
I’m poking around on GunBoards and other gun boards. The crest is a yoke and crossed arrows? That’s the Falangist crest. It sounds like some people have confused the Civil Guard (sword and fasces) with the Falangist crest, like this one here.
Olson lists that as the Guardia Civil (The Spanish national police force, or at least, one of them) crest, so that’s consistent with the M43. Ones made for the Army had a stylized eagle crest with “Fabrique De Armas” around the top, “La Coruna” (the factory, I think) on the bottom, along with the year manufactured. Like this one.
Yes it is
Sorry yes it is the Civil Guard

‘You had some very bad people in that group,’ Trump said. ‘But you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides.’
Ugh the fine people hoax/edit too.
I think the worst part is that you can prove that Trump’s quote was taken out of context and it won’t change the minds of those who have a visceral hatred of him.
Even worse, me trying to point out what was actually said not long afterwards, to my three San Francisco lefty buddies I was having a beer with, resulted in them calling me a “Trump lover”.
With the TDS crowd, you couldn’t even try to barely correct misconceptions without being lumped in with the MAGA types.

I both read the transcript and watched the video of that chaotic press event. It’s crystal clear to anyone who is not totally deranged by Trump hatred what he means. He even foresees that the next targets will be Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln.
Also, the Founders tore into one another in the media of the day. Using their language of the day, the Founders were much more “mean” against their detractors than Trump ever was against his opponents on Twatter.

When you vote you are voting for policies, not people. Leftists do. not understand that because they have a propensity for cults of personality. I find that very creepy.
If pointing out Lefties are liars who refuse to actually accept corrected quotes of Trump makes me a Trump lover. then Im a Trump lover.
Why you people bend over backwards for Lefty lunatics, I will never understand.
Just remind Lefties that call you such things, that Trump is the best President in US History. watch the Lefties wish you into a concentration camp.

He can’t do that. But then, half the shit he’s tried to do, he has no authority to do. But I seem to recall there are Supreme Court findings defining interstate travel as a constitutionally guaranteed right.
Isnt that also like the ‘sovereign citizens’ with no valid license pull the “Im not driving this car for commerce, Im travelling, and you can impede that” when they get pulled over and a cop has a gun to their head ?
I think US land border means Mexico and Canada, not interstate, hence the nonresident stipulation.
Oh. Duh. Yeah, he may have the authority to do that. Too bad he isn’t applying that restriction on the Rio Grande.
Is he referring to “international borders”? I can’t make head or tails of that.
He’s probably referring to the Illinois/Wisconsin border. I’ve heard there’s a lot of illegal crossings there.

To be fair, any shot a kid gets is a comparable experience.

You have a point I suppose, that applies more to adults.
I had to get my 6 year old kid a covid test once because he had a cold.
You would’ve thought the nasal swab was the worst conceivable human torture. He still talks about it.
Heheh. I have a six year old as well. When we went to Mexico this summer we had to get Vid tests before they left us back in the land of the free. He flipped out when he figured out where we were going on the way to get tested. He bolted into the parking lot and hid behind a dumpster. I had to hold him down as he yelled and wriggled. The Mexican pharmacy guy barely touched his nose with the swab. You woulda thought he was being tortured. We took them out for pancakes after and the six year old wouldn’t eat a thing. He just sat there with a stuck out bottom lip and gave us the mean eye all breakfast as his brothers lapped up their pancakes.
Gross.

Thanks to the comments here, we are spreading out my little one’s routine vaccinations just to monitor reactions with each shot and reduce the overall impact.
You’d think we’d had ducks on our heads when we explained that we aren’t opposing routine vaccinations, we just don’t want them all at once. When the time came to consent to the initial shot, my wife crossed out the COVID option on the paper and wrote a big NO next to it. They weren’t recommending it, but just in case…
Wife is awesome.
Most pediatricians really don’t like it when the parents exert their rights.
They just expect you to follow their recommendations, most of which they’ve never really given any actual thought to, they’re just following the recommendations of the system.
I gave up listening to a lot of it because I’ve witnessed multiple doctors at different locations just googling shit and coming back into the room right after and giving me a canned response. I used to think it was just because they were crummy military docs but I suspect it’s more widespread than I want to believe.
Quite widespread.
I’ve had my run ins with docs over my kids. I’ve since learned to preface any discussion with a very detailed genetic profile of a specific condition my eldest has. Once they realize you’re well informed and researched, their attitude tends to change.
I think it may have been your comments that drove the decision to spread the shots out, but I can’t recall the exact logic behind it. Do you mind reiterating it?
If you get your kid 16 vaccines at once and there is a severe reaction, you cannot hope to prove any causation.
In the military, I got a whole bunch of overseas precautionary vaccines Americans dont really get anymore and got sick as a dog for 3 days. It included temp over 103F and hives. Who knows which one did it to me or maybe it was the overload to my immune system.
Just think that a lot of doctors in the military were private docs wanting to avoid malpractice. Probably a wives tale though

Children’s movies don’t have intergalactic trade agreement censure votes and murder of entire tribes of sandpeople. If anyone still, in 2021, hasn’t seen the Plinkett reviews (or somehow missed those really obvious, easy points).
Yes, yes, children’s programing can’t have any adult elements, Bugs Bunny never made a sideways comment and the Republic serials of the 40’s didn’t have any political subtext or icky love scenes. Star Wars is all about spaceships and ray guns and aliens and robots and magic, the boring scenes where “plot” is developed is only there so the kids can take a bathroom break or buy more Jujyfruits and another half gallon of soda.
plot? what plot?
Star Wars (Muppets in Space) is just a crow hopping from one shiny object to the next.
There’s nothing wrong with canned pumpkin, as long as it’s Libby’s.
They use a particular variety of sweet pumpkin. The Sugar Bear variety is close in taste, but it’s only available for a short time in the fall.

Really?? I think Libby’s is one of the worst. Pictsweet and Trader Joe’s are better.
Okay – Hormel vs. Mary Kitchen Corned (or Roast) Beef Hash?
Mary Kitchen.
Yes.
We have consensus.
Corned beef hash (my regular Sundee treat) >>Sausage hash>>Roast beef hash
Hormel is local to MN so it is all I know. Mary don’t know shit.
Libby’s is also local to MN. +1 large con cob over the Rochester skyline. One of my grandpas (the one who got his hand caught in a corn picker and chopped it off with an axe) worked there so he could continue to work the farm. We used to steal peas and corn from the neighbor who grew for Libby’s.
corn cob (not con cob)
I went to a middle school right next to an orange grove. I got lots of ‘free’ citrus until one day, a spider jumped on me from a tree. Thing looked about the size of a tarantula.
I’ll admit a bias against Hormel, since they discontinued their Tamales. Now, I have to get La Preferida tamales. At least I have them available.
What up yo?
Regarding the afternoon universe conversation I missed – and the possibility of different areas of the finite universe acting in different ways, I’ve always been a big fan of Vernor Vinge and his “zones of thought” spatial design for the galaxy.
It’s just turtles all the way down.
Fairly obvious.
Wasn’t familiar with him, that looks intriguing.
You’re missing out. Those are great books.
Tomorrow is going to hit 43, I can’t believe we haven’t had weather yet, I’ll take it and play whilst I can,
70 yesterday and 68 today. WTF?
Right? like the weather changes, or maybe the Climate does things, hmmm
Five here at the moment. Hey, we got above zero!
That’s what keeps the riff-raff out, amirite?
not -5, but our temps make it hard for the riff raff to get by, see ya!
Unless you’re growing your own sugar pumkins, harvesting them two weeks before you make your pie, so they have time to cure, it’s not going to really taste any different than canned pumpkin. And even then, it won’t be a massive difference.
By the time I’ve added nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, ginger, and Eaglebrand condensed milk, it’s going to be tasty anyway.
i remember Eagle, the best…
Exactly.
That gif.
Dios mio.
I like the way she leans into the smack! Hypnotic.
For you.
Thanks!
That was from a hamburger add?
I’m 200+ comments late cause of the gif
Careful. Tendonitis is a killer.
I started baking again, got a silicone muffin pan and tried out cheesecake pucks, a tasty but horrible failure, I’ll try something different. Next is Sea salt Turtle brownies with Coconut fudge topping, decadent..
Remember when they swore the vaccine is safe for pregnant women?
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/11/23/they-said-vaccines-were-safe-for-pregnant-women-now-this-happens/
Devil’s advocate…there’s nothing there that says it’s related to the vaccines, not that I’d expect them to say so, but it’s also possible that it is from COVID itself. There’s literally zero data in the original BBC article. Without any data, there’s a huge range of possibilities.
The vaccines are neither safe nor effective…for anyone.
At this point they have lied and jimmied the numbers so badly that nothing they or anyone says can be believed.
I refused and pay the consequenses, the the Glibs keep me alive,
The EU released their numbers for vax deaths and injuries.
50k deaths and 1M injuries.
While these numbers are surely skewed because causation can be tough to prove, governments have lied about CoVID deaths for 18 months.
