Getting closer to the championship
The Browns thumped the Bengals, the Titans brought the Rams back down to earth, the Cardinals used a bunch of backups to beat the 49ers, and the Jacksonville Jaguars stunned the Bills. Across the pond, Liverpool fell to West Ham and ManUre got shellacked by their crosstown rivals and that’s got to be the end of Ole. Â And lastly, Kyle Larson returned from a lengthy suspension for saying one stupid thing online to win NASCAR’s biggest championship while Max Verstappen increased his lead over Hamilton to 19 points with 4 races remaining in the Formula 1 World Championship. Â I hope he hangs on to win it.

Hold on though, because before I get into the real links I want to share the best twitter reply I’ve seen in some time. Enjoy.
This shit gets weirder by the minute. All I know is that there were several massive failures and the promoter and venue operator are going to be completely fucked when its all said and done.
And every single bit of the backlash is deserved. Selling propaganda to children is disgusting.
Let’s hope the other 39 were still working out the details of their suits. Because if this passes muster, there’s literally nothing the government can’t control through executive action.
Well, maybe not 39. There’s at least one that that’s gone completely insane with their authoritarianism. Unreal.

Here’s a (bonus!) link with a happy ending. Well done, old man. Of course the sad part of the story is that it’s damn near impossible for most people in that city to be in a position to protect themselves like this retired firefighter was.
At least he’s making progress. He could have shit himself again.
If you have any friends that say the government has nothing to do with gas prices, show them this. Because when the government can simply close a private business’s operations at will, then they have a direct impact on the price of whatever those companies are bringing to market.  Also, is this entire administration fucking insane?
Travel into the US is getting back to normal, sort of. Of course you could have simply walked in at any time if you can wade across the Rio Grande.
I hope it continues indefinitely. Or at least until the number of votes cast are released before a single vote is counted. For starters.
Good. I hope they win. And I hope Texas steps out of the dark ages and legalizes weed in general. Too much money is wasted “fighting” it.

“Romanian prince Vlad The Impaler, author Bram Stoker”
That seems like too much of a coincidence.
Indeed.
Big birthdays today include Romanian prince Vlad The Impaler – I doubt his day of birth is recorded. Where do you get this from?
Likely one of the many “on this day” sites on the internet that aren’t exactly known for thoroughly vetting the information they contain so that they may serve you advertisements.
Nobody remembers his actual birthdate, but we all know that he never was laid to rest, right Pie?
I think they opened what was widely accepted as his grave a while back.
It was empty.
Was Geraldo involved with that caper? I remember something like that….
He doesn’t invite you to his birthday parties?
In which case, happy un-birthday, Vlad!

As do I. That said this was a slick way for him to sell and make a point about unrealized gains. My belief is that he wanted to sell and figured this way he could avoid some of the pushback that comes when a founder sells.
That said the number of people he has thrown under the bus during his rise isn’t insignificant. He is a Steve Jobs level of asshole. I respect theck out of him, but I’m pretty sure I don’t like him.

One of my odder homeless encounters this morning. I was walking from our hotel (we’re in ABQ) to a nearby Circle K to get coffee. The neighborhood is a bit sketchy and we’re nowhere near sunrise. Passed a bus stop and there’s a homeless guy with the requisite garbage bags, bicycles, and mutt. He says, “Hey buddy, got a light?”
I replied, “No, I don’t sorry.” and kept walking.
He yelled, “Hey, buddy, you look like you’re headin’ into the Circle K. If I give you some money, will you get me a lighter?”
“Sure.” He hands me a fistful of coins.
I bought the lighter and my coffee using my credit card. Walked out, handed him the lighter and all of his coins back. “Dude, this was on me. You gave me a story, and that’s worth more than the three bucks.”
Interesting. I’m guessing they wouldn’t let him in the Circle K.
He might pee or shit in the elevator?
Elevator? What kind of multi-level convenience stores do they run in Connecticut, anyway?
Not a Circle K… Thought it was some kind of Hotel lobby store..
Strange things would then be afoot in said Circle K.
He had a dog. Not allowed in.
Did he then get into his beamer and drive off? There was this one homeless guy that hung on a corner in Hartford torturing people with what he believed was harmonica play that would then go over to his beamer and drive off at the end of the day that had a whole following of people that respected his grift…
Somebody should call for help. If only they hadn’t removed the phone booth outside the store.
That was weird. I was typing something different at the time.
That’s what she said..
We had a guy like that who panhandled at an intersection near a strip mall. He hid his nice car by parking it in the alley behind the building.
Very nice. And since you’re in ABQ, all I can say is that at least it wasn’t a box of one dozen starving, crazed weasels.

Regarding the dept of labor decision to allow woke investing:

I donât have a problem with this as long as I can still choose the real funds. Let woke people short themselves â it will be funny.”
Yeah, but you know progs, anything allowed is mandatory. Soon you’ll have no choice at your work but to invest in the wokest stocks available. We’re past helicopter stage which means the cancer has gone terminal.
You all are forgetting the amount of funds that are in defined benefit and public pensions.
This is intended to allow other states and private pensions the ability to do what CalPERS has done for decades.
“Also, is this entire administration fucking insane?”
That depends on your definition of insane. Totalitarian shitbirds are always and everywhere the same, right out of a cookie cutter. Marxism was specially concocted to accommodate totalitarianism.
Trump: lowest unemployment in history, lowered taxes, companies coming back to the US, energy independence.
One year into Biden: 100 million Americans not working, wants taxes over 50% in every state, companies leaving again, we have to beg the Saudi’s and Russians for oil.
I guess we are having a run of bad luck. Yeah, that is what it is.
The disruption of the supply chain and shortages are deliberate and calculated. I am even starting to hear people talk about rationing food. Goddamned commie shitbirds, always and everywhere the same. This lot is trying to recreate the USSR here in the US. Scoff if you want while you enjoy your gruel.
Congratulations to every dumbass that voted Biden because OMB.
Hint: No one gives a fuck what you think of Trump personally. Shit in one hand and put your feelings in the other. Which one carries more weight?
You don’t vote for people, you vote for policies.

The US is a net exporter of food. We might not be able to get winter fruits, but there is no reason we should be talking rationing.
No we shouldnât but bear in mind that Ukraine was the breadbasket of Russia.
there is no reason they should have had a famine either.
It was the weather!
Walter Duranty won a Pulitzer for that drivel.
Yeah? Just wait…
If Newsome and the fuckheads writing regulations in California can negatively affect the supply chain with regard to the ports and transportation, and the Biden Admin. successfully closes pipelines thereby raising fuel prices, that will negatively affect over the road trucking. Hello fuel surcharges at the very least.
I’m not a doom and gloom type, I hope I’m not black pilled, but there is a lot of room for these … creatures… to foul things up.
That being said, forewarned is forearmed. We’ll keep each other alert.
I’ve been watching the Port of Miami webcam to see if there’s an uptick in cargo traffic. I wish places like Savannah and Charleston and Tampa also had webcams.
i think people are confused here that the supply chain is causing inflation when it’s mostly the other way around.
Mostly because it’s the Biden admin narrative.
People are buying so much stuff narrative is correct but misleading.
Nominal wages have increased meaning people *think* they can have more shit and purchase it. Productivity is the same or lower.
Inflation causes these kind of issues. Eventually prices for things will get high enough that this will solve itself. yay.
We’re already seeing a decrease in availability of fruits and veggies up here in the Great Land.
This post really hits hard. The contrast is so extreme that it feels like the current admin is fucking up on purpose. Maybe they really just are two distinct sets of policies where one works and the other does not.
We are apparently preparing for a surge of vaccinated foreign travellers, whatever that means.

It’s called Faith, dear Festus. And Like Law and Medicine, it takes “practice” to grow and learn in it.
Start with meditation if that’s a better way of conceiving of it. I mean that sincerely – start a daily meditation practice of 15 minutes.
Then spend a little time reading something completely foreign about Faith so that you’re not tricked by your Ego by words you’ve come to have a distaste for.
Highly recommend the Upanishads, or Eckhart Tolle, even. Just start a “practice” of Faith and see what happens.
Your mustard seed might grow.
Much love, Brother Festus.

“Antifa derails conservative group Super Happy Fun America’s protest against masks and vaccine mandates: Riot cops break up fights on Boston Common as scenes turn ugly
A right-wing group’s protest against COVID-19 mask and vaccine mandates turned into a nasty feud with Antifa counter-demonstrators whose rallying cry was to ‘tell the Capitol Rioters to Get Out of Boston.’
The high noon COVID protest at Boston Common on Sunday was organized by a group called Super Happy Fun America, which describes itself as ‘a right of center civil rights organization focusing on defending the Constitution, opposing gender madness and defeating cultural Marxism.’
However, anti-fascist demonstrators that included ‘Green Monster Antifa’ – a play on the famous left field wall at Fenway Park – and ‘Solidarity Against Hate – Boston,’ announced on Twitter they would be showing up to the event in order to ‘Tell the Capitol Rioters to Get Out of Boston.'”

Anarchists for more government.
Ahhh, so I see the fedgov’s brownshirts are out ensuring there’s no dissent.
Wonderful.
Because protesting involuntary medical procedures from the government is “anti-fascist”.
I’m so glad words don’t mean anything anymore.
Antifa simply wants to instigate violence. For some reason, they think that a total breakdown of civil norms will benefit them and bring on the commie utopia.
The reality is that most of them will end up face down in a ditch.
Yep — they don’t realize that they’d be the brownshirts in more ways than one if they succeed. No totalitarian regime wants mobs running around thinking *they’re* the enforcers.
Brownshirts? More like Redshirts.
TBH, I think most of them don’t really have an ideology at all. They’re thugs with no life who just want to fight or they’re unemployed failures who’ll do anything for a paycheck and Soros is happy to provide it.
But only in certain parts of the country. I’ve never heard of them showing up at anti-mandate rallies in NH or other similar activities.
Thereby removing any doubt about Antifa being the Dem’s paramilitary arm.
We fight fascism (cause we are marxist thug assholes)! Except when that fascism is real and perpetuated by the political party we believe will give us marxism someday!
/douches
“Super Happy Fun America” is pretty fucking funny, though.
Would be better if the were Superfuntime America. (The full name of my cartoon is ‘The Hat & The Hair Superfuntime Cartoon Show‘)
They don’t want you to sue them, so “legal” name change.
Notice how they don’t put “anti-fascist” in quotes. They really must be fighting the good fight against real fascism I guess.
Antifa has been defended as simply opposition to fascism, since that’s in their name. I think we can now definitively say that Antifa and anyone who supports them is diametrically opposed to a super, happy, fun, America.

“New York City woman whose parked car was rammed by another vehicle was shot in the leg during a gunfight between rival tow truck companies fighting to get her business.
Susy Delgado, 48, says she is thankful to be alive after getting shot through her thigh on Saturday night in Queens after two truck companies showed up looking to hook up her badly damaged car that was smashed into by a speeding Range Rover.
Delgado told the New York Daily News she called the police for help but the tow companies showed up first, probably by listening to police scanners.
Delgado says once the tow truck workers arrived they got into a heated argument over who would get to tow her car when one of them pulled out a gun and fired at his competitor, striking the 48-year-old instead.”

Too many cishet people I’ve dated only understand my queerness through the reductive definition of being attracted to multiple genders, rather than as a daily struggle for liberatory existence rooted in disrupting archaic norms, structures, and violence that is heteronormativity.
By queering relationships, I don’t just mean that I exist as a queer person in whatever partnership arrangement I’m in. I also mean that I am actively and intentionally resisting heteronormative expectations and dynamics that force me to suffocate in different boxes.
I don’t and can’t speak for every queer person but this is what being queer means to me. In partnerships, esp with cishet men, it’s challenging to queer relatiationships or to feel truly, wholly loved when the way I want/need to exist is experienced as an existential threat.
Living fully into my queerness inside a partnership requires conditions where I/we can continuously defy existing boundaries guided by heterosexism, homophobia, misogyny, etc., conditions that allow us to imagine and practice far more freeing, expansive, and radical ways to love.

Stop whining that we’re not paying you any attention.

Pie — as a general comment, you really should use the blockquote tag or something. There’s a hell of a mental lurch when I read some of your posts and then at the very very end realize you’re quoting lunacy (as opposed to your last prey being on LSD or something…).
As to what you’re quoting — I think most people really don’t care who or what you’re attracted to as long as it involves consenting adults. Stop pushing your psychological issues on everyone else.

Fair share! Fair share!
Musk was awarded options in 2012 as part of a compensation plan. Because he doesnât take a salary or cash bonus, his wealth comes from stock awards and the gains in Teslaâs share price. The 2012 award was for 22.8 million shares at a strike price of $6.24 per share. Tesla shares closed at $1,222.09 on Friday, meaning his gain on the shares totals just under $28 billion.
The company has also recently disclosed that Musk has taken out loans using his shares as collateral, and with the sales, Musk may want to repay some of those loan obligations.
As Tesla noted in its third-quarter Securities and Exchange Commission 10-Q filing this year: âIf the price of our common stock were to decline substantially, Mr. Musk may be forced by one or more of the banking institutions to sell shares of Tesla common stock to satisfy his loan obligations if he could not do so through other means. Any such sales could cause the price of our common stock to decline further.â
The options expire in August of next year. Yet in order to exercise them, Musk has to pay the income tax on the gain. Since the options are taxed as an employee benefit or compensation, they will be taxed at top ordinary-income levels, or 37% plus the 3.8% net investment tax. He will also have to pay the 13.3% top tax rate in California since the options were granted and mostly earned while he was a California tax resident.
Combined, the state and federal tax rate will be 54.1%. So the total tax bill on his options, at the current price, would be $15 billion.
If he sells a chunk of stock that large, the price might go down. It’s a ploy to deprive the government of its rightful share!
The words “Fair share”, to me, are like the invocation by child molesters when they ask “Hey little [put your preferred freak here], want some candy?”: it reeks of some kind of nasty shit following for the idiot that falls for the trigger.

Because he doesnât take a salary or cash bonus, his wealth comes from stock awards and the gains in Teslaâs share price.
JFC that is shitty reporting. One thing is income, another thing is wealth; it is painful how this was munged together.
The munging is by design. Confused people will go along with the crime syndicates call of making people that were successful pay their “fair share” in wealth as well (by pretending it is income). They are hard at work justifying taxing people on unrealized gains and getting access to any and all transactions you make so they can maximize their ability to take money you think is yours but they are sure belongs to them, for a reason…
I really don’t like people that insist on anti-thinking.
Pimp’n ain’t easy, but it’s necessary…
If you needed to know how much they hate us and want to replace us with people that will let them do whatever evil shit they want, this is a big chunk of providing that proof.
Emerald Robinson went and looked up Moderna’s vaccine patent then reported on the ingredients.
This got her suspended from Newsmax, and they immediately announced a vaccine mandate for all their employees. She must have really touched a third-rail for a pretend conservative outfit to so thoroughly expose themselves.
At least one Newsmax host is refusing to participate in the mandate bs.
Wasn’t supposed to be a reply…
Didn’t they reverse it or was that just trotting out an exec. that could show a resistance?
Oh no they are against/for it..
Newsmax has no vaccine mandate nor do we require it for employment.
We have informed our staff of the upcoming federal rule.
At the same time we have notified staff we will create an easy opt-out for any employee who does not want to be vaccinated.
You are complying with a portion of the rule, which….yeah

In anticipation of the new rules, the studio last month started encouraging its regular customers to submit their vaccine cards online so they donât have to show them at the start of every class. Gross and Stone said it would be heartbreaking to turn away anyone.
âYou know, the City Council decided, the mayor signed it, and we we have no choice but to comply with the law,â Gross said, adding that the possibility of being punished for violating the law âwould be hugely detrimentalâ to a yoga business that is barely surviving after being shut down for the bulk of the pandemic.
Show me the way, Great White Father. I am your humble obedient servant.
“we have no choice but to comply with the law”
Sure you do. You can flout the law until they shut you down and/or start conducting underground classes. Alternatively, you can close your business, move to a free state and start over; much like some of (((us))) did when the Nazis started shutting down businesses in the ’30s.
Nope. You’re not going to fight the madness? I’m not giving you any business.
I’m told there are shortages of various things in stores. Fortunately not for important things.
Bugatti Created A $170 Heated Razor With Gillette
Narrator: Try using this to shave your girlfriend’s bush as foreplay.
I grew up in the 80s. I prefer bush, so long as its not a boston fern-esque topiary.

I don’t care if they come up with a razor that tickles my prostate and whispers in my ear, they can kiss my ass.

The smooth election in New Jersey. Smoothly reelected an unpopular governor with a middle-of-the-night vote dump in Bergen County.
Fortified.
Have they managed to fuck the truck driver out of his new career yet?
They are doing their best to find more votes as well as comb through everything the poor guy said on social media.
So – not yet – but they are trying.
Have they considered recycling the Russia Collusion racket yet? The guy looks like he was recruited by the KGB and likes to pay hookers to piss on beds prominent Jersey pols banged hookers and little kids in!
After the 2020 fortification efforts, I would have thought team red would have realized that the old strategy of just hoping they had enough votes to avoid the margin of error that triggered cheating by team blue, was out the window. To win you have to fucking trounce them so ugly that they can’t pretend the late votes they always find are anything but cheating (see Virginia).
I assume Team Red is in on it. Not all of Team Red, but I imagine the state GOP in deep blue states is just as much a part of Team Blue as any of the state-level Democrats.
Or at least controlled enough in these areas that Team Red knows to keep their mouth shut or else the graft spigots will shut off.
You are talking about the Philly GOP, no doubt about it.
You can flout the law until they shut you down and/or start conducting underground classes. Alternatively, you can close your business, move to a free state and start over; much like some of (((us))) did when the Nazis started shutting down businesses in the â30s.

Big Bird’s seemingly innocuous â and obviously fictional â announcement Saturday that he has been vaccinated against Covid-19 caused a stir online, as Republicans like Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas accused the yellow anthropomorphic bird of tweeting “government propaganda.”
It’s just conservative superstition. No need to worry about the fact that kids do no need to be subject to a fake vaccine for an illness that they are not susceptible to.
Just as long as we focus on what’s truly important
The case for Brainard: Sheâs an actual economist and actual Democrat, and is more aligned with Biden on a range of fiscal, monetary and regulatory issues.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has called Powell â to his face â a âdangerous man.â Itâs unclear if the White House wants to go to war with her over the Fed.
Brainard has advocated for the Fed to do more about climate change and has hinted that big changes are coming.
Democratic presidents deserve to pick their Fed chairs, and shouldnât be bullied to keep a Republican holdover. Just because Presidents Clinton and Obama reappointed Republicans doesnât mean Biden must do the same.
While current Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was the first woman to serve as Fed chair, and Brainard wouldn’t be a “first,” the White House still puts a big premium on gender diversity.
Let the motherfucker burn, just as long as we have a female fire chief.
I’m becoming a trifle concerned about President Poopypants’ obsession with valuing gender over competence.
Aren’t they running out of heat?
Interest rates can’t go much lower, and at this point will printing more money help?
I know with this crowd we know this, but shouldn’t it be getting obvious to those who don’t really pay attention?
Democratic presidents deserve to pick their Fed chairs
And it must be someone palatable to the requisite legislative body to confirm. It’s almost like the government has separate branches with separate authority or something.
I find a lot of comfort that the morons that just got their asses handed to them because of their stupid woke cult’s efforts to drive us over the cliff of the last years resulting in a political shellacking of epic proportions, always respond by thinking that the problem was they didn’t fucking go even dumber/crazier than they originally had. Of course, the problem is that everyone that disagrees with their stupid shit is an evil fucker. Not that they are evils stupid people doing evil stupid shit, and people are realizing that despite the efforts to obfuscate that reality…
Because if this passes muster, thereâs literally nothing the government canât control through executive action.
You peasants just need to do what you are told.
Proof of vax required as strict mandate takes effect in LA
Starting Monday, anyone going to a shopping mall, theater, gym or nail salon in Los Angeles must verify they are vaccinated
Eventually people need to learn that this all goes away if you simply do not comply.
I wonder if we are capable of learning this. There are people who are still going all in on blaming all current issues with the unvaccinated. Crazy, I know.
It’s Monday and the last remaining cold symptom is a splitting sinus headache. I feel cursed. At least the only NFL I watched yesterday was the last quarter of the Eagles-Chargers game. Watching the birds lose is great. I feel blessed.

One of our waste sump pumps has blown, along with the secondary and tertiary backups, AND half of the control panel.
Fun.
What kind of lovely stuff goes into a chip foundry sump?
This particular one is aqueous non-fluoride containing waste. I don’t have a count as to the number of different waste systems we (this site) have, but we (this particular lab) has three. Fortunately our fluoride-containing aqueous waste sump is functioning since that the one we are most in need of.
And the tornado vacs are throwing breakers. Who signed off on the electrical in this lab?
Still suffering through myself. Glad you are doing better. I lost a whole weekend to stupid illness.

Former Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said on Sunday the U.S. is “close” to the final phase of the coronavirus pandemic.
âI think that we’re close to the end of the pandemic phase of this virus, and we’re going to enter a more endemic phase and as things improve, cases may pick up,â Gottlieb said during âFace the Nationâ on CBS.
The former FDA official said that while COVID-19 cases may start to trend upward again âthat doesn’t mean that we’re entering into another wave of infection.â
He told âFace the Nationâ host Margaret Brennan that he believed the spike in causes caused by the delta variant was the final wave, pointing to two key factors necessary in order to shift from a pandemic to an endemic, where Americans learn how to live with the virus, like the flu.
âWe’ve always said that two of the events that would demarcate the end of this pandemic was being able to vaccinate our children. We’re now able to do that down to age five,â Gottlieb said.
âAnd also having a widely available or orally accessible drug that could treat coronavirus at home to prevent people from being hospitalized or dying. And we now have two of those potential pills, one from Pfizer and one from Merck, and there will be more behind that,â he continued.
I’m pretty sure the overwhelming majority of those “infected” already do not require hospitalization, and do not die.
Iâm glad dignity and class have been restored the White House and no one will have to suffer the agony and literal violence of mean Tweets.
The grownups are in charge!
Metro to continue operating without most of its fleet until December
They just want to simulate back to normal by running crowded trains.
I hope it continues through March, because my lefty friend is visiting with her family and is terrified of COVID. She said they plan on using Metro for downtown trips (they’re staying at Courthouse). I already warned her they’re running trains every 20 minutes during rush hour and she FREAKED THE FUCK OUT.

Bowles Bemused by Biden Bowels Blast
I had no idea you wrote for the Daily Mail.
I have met a couple of Mail writers over the years. They didn’t speak highly of their employer. It sounded pretty boring to me, but then I’d be happy to churn out copy for most of their sections, as long as they didn’t require me to post any particularly onerous “journalisms”, especially with a byline, because when the Mail lays a turd, it usually lays a big one.

Wait until people wake up that the jab is not a vaccine – not under any reasonable definition of the term – and it simply imitates the harm (the LF) of one portion of a virus that was never actually sequenced.
I suspect that when they talk about all of these ‘infections’ in ‘the vaccinated’ there may well be some portion of people considered “infected” who are simply showing all of the signs and symptoms of the virus because they’ve been injected with a biologic that mimics the harm-causing portion of the virus. I don’t think this shot “helps” the immune system. These shots are an attempted (and failed) “bio-hack” that “logically” should work, but as Holmes once trenchantly observed about the Law, “the Life of the law has been experience, not Logic.” I suspect that is even more true of the biological sciences.
I think the pharmas and their regulators decided to take a calculated risk on this technology with Fauci’s exuberant support. They had to know it was a gamble, but they are unwilling to accept the cost of failure so they’re fighting tooth and nail to remove the control groups.
It truly is crony capitalism in its worst form.

For anyone who cares, on Saturday, the wife’s Corolla had a bad alternator.
Pissed me off because I installed that one 3 1/2 years ago.
It had a lifetime warranty and AutoZone gave me a replacement with no hassles once they tested it.
Took about and hour and a half to pull it out and put the new one on.
That’s awesome Ron. I always love hearing good auto repair news.
Bad it failed so soon, good you got good customer service and were able to get some brownie points
I’ve never had an alternator last beyond 2 or 3 years. To me, it’s just a regular, expected repair.
Really? This is the first time I’ve had to do a repeat.
Every other alternator I’ve installed has lasted until I got rid of the vehicle and I keep cars forever.
I’ve never done one. And I’ve had a lot of cars.
I’ve done a few, but I usually buy cars with around 100K on the meter.
Only exception was the wife’s ’09 corolla, bought that new and it now has 260K.
It’s sheer luck. I’ve bought many with high miles – and fixed a LOT of shit – just never the alternator.
Watch, now I’ll have one puke this week.
Probably.
I had the stock original alternator fail on my ’86 Monte Carlo SS. It was actually “half working”; producing half-the needed voltage.
Rebuilt replacement was something like $50. Oh I miss the 90s đ
I always liked those cars. Especially the black with red trim.
Mine, sadly, was white with the red stripes.
I pulled out the original 180hp 305 and put in a 370hp 355 with a roller cam. Transmission was replaced with a 2500 stall.
And redid the entire interior with new seats, molding, etc.
One of those cars I wish I had kept but we moved to a better neighborhood with a much smaller garage.
I’ve done quite a few.
Side mounted Toyotas are a bit of a pain in the ass.
They should blame climate change and refuse the replacement.
Get in the zone!
Biden is considering shutting down ANOTHER oil pipeline despite soaring energy prices: Republicans demand Michiganâs Line 5 be kept open to avoid a further rise in energy bills this winter
I saw something about this yesterday, but strangely enough, they neglected to provide any reason for shutting it down.
IIRC the argument is over safety standards. At least, that’s what the left is claiming it’s about.
Look into what company is making a killing transporting that oil using trains, which is likely less safe, and you will understand what the real fucking reason for this shit is.
*spins the Wheel O’ Policy*
Because its racist.
Unlike the 2020 presidential election, there were no claims of widespread fraud, ballots emerging mysteriously in the dark of night or compromised voting machines changing results.
NJ says “hi”. And I suspect VA was too much of a landslide to fortify.
Election experts say even a smooth election cycle this year is unlikely to curb the distrust that has built up over the last year within a segment of the public.
It might have something to do with the lack of interest in investigating people’s concerns while calling them terrorist/insurrectionist/etc for expressing concern in the election process.
And I suspect VA was too much of a landslide to fortify.
Nah. They outsourced printing the fake ballots to a shop in China. The ballots are sitting on a ship in California.
Look, we allowed you plebes to have a quasi-fair election this time, and now we don’t expect to ever hear a peep from you again!
I’ve been playing Fallout 4 – for the very first time – since it was available for a low, low price of $5. That and my PC can barely handle anything new. A game like Planetfall 2 is so laggy with all the players on line that, even with the lowest graphics settings, it’s like playing with PTSD.
Anyhoo, Fallout 4 has much better playing mechanics than the old Skyrim but boy does the story line kind of suck. To the point where I was skipping over a lot of the dialogue.
I joined the Minutemen, destroyed the Institution, and… uh now I’m wandering around doing small side missions.
Get some mods and make it RPG Sims. Yeah story line wasn’t strong
But there’s rumblings of a New Vegas 2 being in development! The potential for another good Fallout game exists!
Have you played that fan based mod for it? Based in Portland I think? Pretty well done
I have not. But I’ll also stand by that Fallout 2 was the best game of the series (at least once they patched out the game breaking bugs).
I got as far as killing the molerat king, had to blow up a wall to get out, planted dynamite, wondered if I set the fuse, wandered back just in time to find out, that I had, discovered my last save was just outside Arroyo, decided the village died because the Chosen One was a dumbass who blew himself up in a molerat tunnel.
Never played early Fallouts. However, one thing Bethesda does is allow mods to make their games better than their top paid coders could. Glad they open their API up for that.
They have to, the modders fix their bugs.
The first New Vegas is one of my favorite games. It’s been years, but I still think about it whenever I hear a Dean Martin song.
Got it last year for $15 (GOTY edition).
Most bang for my money ever.
Love it. Still haven’t finished off the institute.
Did you find the secret room in the bottom of Fallon’s?
Watch Skooledzone videos on cool tricks for settlement building.
So pissed off. Fallout 4 is my worst RPG experience since the original Morrowind (which was a great game but had insanely awful memory crash bugs for a while).
I loaded the GOTY on my XBone – and put about 26 hours in – when I started getting hard crash bugs every 5 minutes.
Removed ALL the extra content, fully uninstalled – restarted – put about 20+ hrs in with some different quest directions – hard crash bugs every 5 minutes.
Probably never gonna finish this game unless I get a decent PC in the next couple of years. Very disappointing.
I joined the Minutemen, destroyed the Institution, and⌠uh now Iâm wandering around doing small side missions.
Dealing with the Institute is the finale of the game, so you’ve only got side missions left. But if everything is on sale, I’d recommend picking up the Far Harbor DLC. As I recall (although it’s been a while) it had a good story-line.
No man left behind.
The Biden regime announced last week they stranded THOUSANDS of Americans in Afghanistan when they departed the country based on their arbitrary timeline. The US turned the country over to the Taliban terrorists and armed with billions of dollars of US weapons.
Of course, the Biden regime lied for weeks saying only 100 Americans were left stranded in the country when they withdrew troops and closed all US offices in the country. They knew this was a lie at the time. They did it anyway.
Now the Biden regime is warning Americans in Ethiopia they are on their own if the civil war escalates.
I’m just glad the adults are back in charge.

“Wtf is up with immigrants who come to silicon valley, get rich, and suddenly decide that America needs less taxes, education, and social support?

https://twitter.com/MJB_SF/status/1457403198289809410
No one should ever advocate improvements to the system. And I am sure the US welfare state was integral in people making money in silicon valley
Well, when they came here, taxes may well have been lower. I have no doubt welfare payments were lower. As to “less education”, is anybody actually pushing for that?
If you do not support forever increase in the money the state spends on education you hate education. Bastiat made that point 100 years ago, read a book.
This always amazes me. They come to the US, benefit the US and often the world..
But this is apparently problematic.
OTH, these same folk have no issues with immigrants who come here collect government checks and use social services.
An American Titana McGrath?
Probably the same thing that’s up with leftists who flee California and Washington State because of unbearable taxation and stifling authoritarianism, and go to states like Texas, Florida and Idaho. Then they decide those free states need more taxes, more thorough indoctrination, and greater entitlements.
It sucks when it’s your oxen getting gored, doesn’t it? We think you’re bullshit. Go home.
‘If any employees have ANY of the billion symptoms of Covid they must stay home’
Headache? Stay home. Known allergies? Stay home. Small tummy ache? Stay home. The fear my agency pushes is absolutely insane.
I work in the private sector, they expect results. I have all these symptoms, can’t stay home. Also, I’m completely fine.
I have allergies and if I stayed home every time my nose was a little runny Iâd be out literally a third of the time. Not doableâŚ
And it wouldn’t just be a day with us…it would be 10 days…paid. I hear tales from the underground of massive abuse of that….
In Dutchland they are having a who knows what number wave of the covid despite almost 90% vaccination rate and I wonder how long this can be blamed on the unvaccinated. Now they too are talking 3d shot but since most vaccinations are barely 6 months old, having a booster shot every 6 months of a vaccine is insane. Even yearly for me, like the flu, is yeah… no.

SARS-CoV-2 vaccine protection and deaths among US veterans during 2021
Not being a health sciences guy I was like WTF is a Cox proportional hazard model? Yet another quick Google and I learn it is a linear regression. Oh, the fun I’ve had with saying anything I damn well wanted with multiple regression models. At this point I don’t trust the anti-vaccine science any more than I trust the pro vaccine science.
Oops amazing what happens when you look at something in the morning instead of late last night.
At this point I donât trust the anti-vaccine science any more than I trust the pro vaccine science.
You can expand this to pretty much everything covid related at this point. No one is interested in determining if their opinion beliefs are correct or not, but proving themselves right. Koolaid all around.
The Two Questions* apply to everything.
*(1) Who wants me to believe this?
(2) Why do they want me to believe it?
I think it’s important to avoid false equivalency between the groups. The burden of proof on efficacy and safety falls squarely on those introducing a new vaccine.
The default position for any pharmaceutical is that it’s not safe or effective until proven otherwise.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
This point has been completely obfuscated and destroyed.
That’s what happens when the FDA is owned by pharma, however. Completely turned the founding principle of the agency on its head.
It’s important to point out that this is a worse situation than the FDA never existing in the first place. In an unregulated market, caveat emptor rules the day. People are conditioned to scrutinize because there is no safety process in place. In the current situation, people are like lambs being led to the slaughter. They believe there is a safety process in place and make their health decisions based on that belief. The actual safety process is irreparably compromised and doesn’t actually improve the safety of the products on the market. As a result, there is a strong potential for massive harm to people caught unaware, even more harm than if the FDA had vaporized last October and the vaccines were brought to market without any regulatory oversight.
100% agree, trashy. I’d rather the three letter agencies all fucking died tomorrow – the entirety – and I mean, the entirety, of the nanny-state apparatus.
They’ve turned me into an AnCap, those fuckers. Born to a long-line of old-school Team Blue types, I grew up, joined the military and became a Republican, met the anthrax vax bullshit, slowly began my journey to libertarianism, and now I’m firmly in the “burn it all to the fucking ground” camp. Fuck it.

Yes. The hagiography of Harvey Milk has been an extremely successful propaganda campaign.

Jesse Kelly contends that we are going to lose a major war. Shit like this makes me think he might be right.
This is nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Purging the military of wrongthinkers is the real concern. And it seems like that’s going full-steam ahead.
Maybe, our two most likely nearpeer adversaries donât play this nonsense, thatâs for sure.
We might well have lost WWII if not for George C. Marshall. He culled the senior officer ranks at the outset of the war – cleared out a bunch of dead wood. You take Marshall out of being Chief of Staff of the Army, and we might well have repeated Kasserine Pass over and over – right back to how Lincoln bitched about the Union generals.
What did he do exactly that warrants naming a military ship after him? The SS Bull Halsey must have been taken already.
He outed a few other politically inconvenient gays and got killed by a former staffer for it?
Snitches shouldnât get ships named after them.
How about former naval officers with other than honorable discharges?

Unlike what the movie suggests, he probably wasn’t gay. Just pissed off that he was politically betrayed but that asshole Milk.
What did he do exactly that warrants naming a military ship after him?
An enthusiastic practioner of the naval tradition “rum, sodomy, and the lash”?
– the rum and lash
Assumes facts not in evidence.
OK so it should’ve been posed as a question.
Great Churchill quote and great album.
Raped a minor, I guess.
Not sure what that has to do with fighting, but there you go.
Heh.
Fast Oiler, not warship…but yes, I guarantee the ribbing will be fabulous. (In the old days it’d be over the Bridge to Bridge between ships…these days that’ll probably get you relieved immediately), but still plenty on the ships.

Oh just put the damn chips in already
What do you think the vaccines are?
lol
I’ll re-post from upthread for you.
https://emeralddb3.substack.com/p/what-is-luciferase
yeah cov vaccines are not chips. They may want to do some specialized molecules in the future but I doubt they are ready. and still I would not call those microchips. Some sort of chemical tags sure. But not chips, at least in my concept. Also quoting the Bible makes me lose interest in such articles. Which is a shame really.
“That’s a no for me, dawg.”

The jab got rid of one nuisance.
Gavin Newsom took his booster shot 11 days ago. He has since canceled all of his scheduled appearances and has not been seen in public since then.
It’s going to keep happening, too. I wonder how many leftist public figures will have to drop dead from some clot-shot related problem before we’ll see some movement?
I wonder how many threats are going on behind the scenes.
There has to be some extreme pressure bearing down on the troops to keep them in line.
My guess is very few. While I object wholeheartedly to it being mandated, It’s probably not all that dangerous either.
Urthona, I believe you are incorrect about that. I won’t post here so I don’t ruin an article I have pending on this subject, but you might want to look at this site tracking the VAERS data for the clot-shots – as compared to all other vaccines in the 30 years of tracking VAERS data.
I mean. Sorry, but while it may not be worth it for you, overall scores of politicians, actors, athletes, media are not all going to start dropping dead tomorrow. In fact they already would have if they were going to.
Ahh. So the media hasn’t reported enough deaths for it to matter yet. Got it.
You didn’t actually read those numbers on that site.
Myocarditis has a 5 year mortality rate of 50%. It’s 20% in the first year.
I hope you’re wrong and a massive die-off of the vaccinated is around the corner. There’s nothing else to hope for.
Pretty much all my family and friends are “vaccinated”, with most now boostered I’d guess, and if not now, soon. I can’t get behind this hoping it all goes terribly wrong just to prove a point. The stakes are too high. I don’t want things to get darker.
My wife is considering boostering, but she listens to why I won’t.
Me, my wife, my parents, my siblings, my daughter. All had reasons to get the vaccine last spring. Thanks for wishing us well.
i find myself in the group of people who are against vaccine mandates but think that more than half of America probably isn’t gonna die soon.
I am adamantly opposed to the mandate.
Gee thanks.
We’ve gone through this with grrizzly before….sigh
Starting from today the US no longer admits unvaccinated foreign travelers. It’s spun as opening up the US after almost 2 years of the pandemic but I see it as depriving people from international travel unless they subject themselves to an experimental medical procedure. Many other countries in the world have already introduced similar restrictions on travel. Others will probably follow suit. Do you think this regime will ever end unless it becomes obvious that the vaccines are a horrible risk?
Millions of Americans are in the process of losing their jobs and abandoning their decade-long careers because they refuse to get vaccinated. It is absolutely immoral. Where are the vaccinated Americans defending the rights of the unvaxxed? Posting comments in obscure internet corners?
Also unlike the rest of the public vaccinated Glibs cannot claim they they didn’t know about the vaccine risks.
I got vaccinated in January, when the risks (and efficacy) were still largely unknown. Which is on me, of course. Because of the way the vaccines were rushed, most of the people who got vaccinated did so before there was any data on risks and efficacy.
Most people who got vaccinated did so before June, and took on an unknown risk, which is not the same as knowing about the vaccine risks. Knowing what I know now, would I have sacrificed my job to avoid the jab? I don’t know, but it would have been a closer call at minimum.
I would have to go back in the internet time machine but I recall the vaccines being sold as a “get the jab, return to normal”.
I thought, like many others, it would be something like an old school Measles vaxx, giving immunity from the disease. I knew it was an mRNA type but didn’t know what that meant other than “new technology”.
And then the first reports of heart issues – J&J came out – and I decided against getting “vaxxed” since, given my health, the risk was low enough.
I’m just glad that I’m working for myself now and don’t have HR breathing down my neck asking for my vaccination status; since I was the sort of guy who refused to get the company “health check ups” or participate in their “healthy living” programs (which consisted of eating shit loads of sugar via fruit).
So you’re saying you got the Trump vaccine, so you trusted it, but now that it has changed to the Biden vaccine you no longer trust it?
Racist!
My views: I have a <5% chance of contracting it, a <.1% of being hospitalized and a <1% chance of being severely ill.
Why would I inject myself with something that has a potential to induce a side effect because there are so many unknowns or purposefully hidden unknowns?
I don't really know my chance of contracting it, but I have adjusted my life to minimize anyway without wholly changing my life.
Sorry but we can’t be so lucky.
He’s absolutely fine.
He will pop up like Kim Jong-un.
I’m at the point of cynicism where I assume most of the elite are unvaxxed and just got a saline injection. Maybe the really dumb ones got the actual vaccine – or they gave him a real one by mistake.
Something fishy like that is going on. I don’t believe for a second that the 100% of elites who claim they got the stab are being honest.
Just like we find it hard to believe that the elites got vaxxed, the progs couldn’t believe that Trump took a course of hydroxy/zinc last year. They knew that the side effects of HCQ were awful and it was ineffective against covid. It was one of the few moments when I got a feeling that they felt bad for Trump.
I vaguely recall someone pointing out that Fauci was photographed getting the vax in one arm, and a few days later pointed at the other arm to say it was just a little sore, or somesuch. Didn’t bother to verify.
U saw it, my wife had told me and I said it might have been a cell phone, sometimes the image is reversed, but then she showed me and it was on a news show, he patted the wrong arm.
Found it!
I saw it, not U
that would be hilarious
PSA: Case of 9mm for $339.95.
Also, case of 9mm for $328.
I believe Norma is the civilian side of RUAG, which makes ammo for the Swiss military.
I’ve looked at their site before. Feels sketchy.
Anyone here order from them before?
Me. I’ve bought their RUAG green-tip 5.56, and their Norma “white box” 9mm. All good.
đ
I have received several thousand rounds of 9mm and 5.56 from them.
The only issue is that the system computes wildly different shipping charges every time I go there. Although, I think it got better.
I’ve never had to pay shipping on high-volume orders. And are there any other kind?
Ammo Shop Online was charging Fed Ex ground when I was buying last spring to early summer. They were shipping out of S Carolina or somwhere on the southeast coast. So shipping was much higher than SG AMMO out of NE or MO or wherever they are.
I was buying 1 or 2 cases at a time. Is that “high volume”?
I didn’t realize the price had gotten so bad that you had to buy individual cartridge cases.
Good enough for Don Knotts.
A case is high volume in my book.
SG Ammo is in Oklahoma, I believe. Snagged 1500 rounds of German mil surplus 5.56 from them a couple weeks ago (Front Sight and some other ranges don’t allow green-tip).
Neither of those will ship to NY đ
Harder time finding ‘bulk’ (for some value of the word bulk 30-06). Now that my friend with the boat has 2 rifles in 30-06, I^H^H^H he should replenish his stock so he can get some range time and still have enough in reserve.
Maybe there is hope: Mask Karenâs are annoying af. Donât be a mask Karen.

The lawsuit, filed in the St. Louis-based 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, argues that the authority to compel vaccinations rests with the states, not the federal government.
Yeah, I get it, that’s constitutional, but I don’t see how it is any better. Compelling vaccination is wrong, full stop.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who tested positive for the coronavirus last week while attending the United Nations climate change conference in Scotland, said the mandate will encourage more people to get shots and make businesses safer for employees and customers.
Go fuck yourself.
An elderly man with a concealed carry license shot and killed a robber in Chicago on Saturday afternoon, police said.
Good.
What Gaia needs is a la mayor jetting halfway across the world to save her.
Jesus H. There’s no mask left to pull off.
Why I asked yesterday cause I know that is what some states will pivot to.
Constitutional under Jacobsen, which itself is a shitshow of a FYTW ruling of unlimited state power. And the justification for Buck v. Bell.
Three generations of imbecilic judges and constitutional scholars is enough.
Jacobson has two roles in the Big Lie: First, they intentionally keep calling these experimental biologics “vaccines,” which they are not. That was intentional word-twisting meant get the public’s mind into the “Jacobson” rubric. So many judges and lawyers have already fallen for it. These shots are NOT vaccines and Jacobson leaned heavily on the “accepted science” of (real) vaccines… in 1905. The word vaccine itself comes from the word for cow (vacca) because of the inventor’s use of cowpox as a prophylactic stimulus of the immune system. I’m pretty certain the Supreme Court in 1905 didn’t anticipate mRNA shots that alter your DNA by mimicking the lethal factor in a genetically modified virus that mutates constantly. That’s Big Lie No.1 using “vaccine” for the clot-shots over and over and over and over. Big Lie (pt. deux) is claiming that Jacobson is still good law in light of everything that has happened subsequently, including the Nuremburg Doctor’s trials and the codification of informed consent into US law. Jacobson’s “revival” has been another part of the Big Lie that’s been accepted by repetition with zero legal history or analysis to support it.
Jacobsen wasn’t good law on the day the opinion was issued.

I don’t call them “Profa” for nothing.
Fighting erupted at the Boston Common between far-left/antifa & anti-vaccine mandate protesters. Antifa called for comrades to shut down the rally, saying opposition to government Covid-19 mandates is fascist & white supremacist.
Clown. World.
Anything to move the cause forward
RS – I adopted your term awhile back because I had the same reaction. Imagine a group dedicated to being “anti-fascist” that is wholly in lockstep with the most authoritarian actions of the existing government.
“Thees werd… I don’t think eet means what…”
Profa beats the Plausibly Deniable Neolib Shocktroop Organization at least.
Those descriptive trademarks never hold up. đ
Reminds me of Elbridge Gerry’s quip about Federalists – they had stolen the term and really should have been called Ratifiers (of the Constitution); then those who were opposed to replacing the AoC would’ve been anti-rats.
And every single bit of the backlash is deserved. Selling propaganda to children is disgusting.
At least it provided some material for the Bee: Oscar The Grouch Refuses The Vaccine, Stocks Up On Ivermectin.

I had probably the best meal of my life there, so do consider it.

*You people* (should Glibs have their own set of brackets? Like ({(We Glibs)})? have poked me, I have to post this video by Dr. David Martin.
Just watch the first 5 minutes if you want to go down the rabbit hole. This was all planned.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/tRrJ3gzmvMt8/
A PhD calling himself doctor loses 10 credibility points before he even opens his mouth. A Business Admin PhD talking about science and conspiracies gets shut the fuck down immediately.
Well, there you have it, JI. Ignore everything he says. #logic
Faith isn’t one of my strongpoints.
Is there documentation to all of his charges?
https://www.davidmartin.world/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/The_Fauci_COVID-19_Dossier.pdf
Also, not convinced by bombastic speaking style. That one I’ll cop to as a tic.
Not ready to go down that rabbit hole just yet. Are humans capable of intentional malevolence? Absolutely. They are also very good at recognizing patterns and imposing order on systems that are not ordered in any meaningful sense. My sense is COVID-19 was generated an leaked from the the lab. Fauci and large swaths of our government are responsible for it and profiting handsomely off the vaccine scam. Many levels of Karen are taking advantage of the opportunity to fly their latent – and not so latent – authoritarian flag. Many levels of petty bureaucratic authoritarians are taking advantage of the opportunity for fly their authoritarian and grifter flag. All of that banality and malevolence can seem organized when seen through the lens of human pattern recognition. But planned from the beginning? To me, highly unlikely. Mistakes and intentional grifting going back years, creation of institutions to foster and facilitate grifting that can now be taken advantage of? Certainly, I think that’s the reality. Some Dr. Schwab^H^H^H Evil cat stroking plot from the beginning, I don’t think so.
That said, if strong consistent evidence mounts/accumulates/comes to light, I’m absolutely believe that those who fancy themselves the elite are capable of wanting to do that, so….
You know who else was accused of intentional malevolence…
I saw it myself at least as far back as 1999. The problem I believe is in treating this with an excluded middle – like the only two possibilities are “Incidental Opportunism” vs. “Planned Bond Villain Malevolence.” You do appreciate that it might be better conceived of as a spectrum, rather than binary choices, yes? Now add in that Fauci has been at the same government job in infectious diseases for over 30 years. So it’s not possible that one guy highly placed in a bureaucracy and his friends are doing something that is shitty and intentionally shitty because it benefits them? No – that’s simply too much to believe??
I don’t have time right now to lay it all out, but check upthread for the document that I put there in reply to JI. Then read the timeline of significant events related to SARS research in that document. Couple that with my own experiences with the DoD’s “Joint Biologic Project 2020” (back in 1999) an you think that this is “just” coming up now? Bro, Covid-19 is the fruit from a tree that was planted back in the Gulf War, back when the FDA used to actually fight the DoD and work against its interests. No longer.
Bioterrorism got launched under Clinton and it is an absolute statist-corporatist wet fucking dream. Nope. Sorry – none of this is “coincidence.” Finding long-term patterns is hard for most people on any subject because very few things hold our interests for decades to be able to have the historical understanding and watch the manipulation of events over time. It’s not like this is our “job”… but it is for Anthony Fauci and the people in his circle, like Peter Daszak.
To clarify – I absolutely believe Fauci and Daszak and many others at NIH/CDS revolving door to pharma, have been doing shitty things intentionally for many years. There’s no doubt about that. They’ve been pursuing GoF research and intentionally lying about it. There’s potentially even a, known to them, bio-weapons aspect to it. But it can/is? be driven by the egomaniacal personality of the self styled elites like Fauci; he has a complex and has wanted his whole life to be the guy who saved humanity or had some huge impact. And I think that, coupled with a sense of how smart they are that nothing bad could ever happen, has likely driven a lot of his and his colleagues behavior. My only objection is that Fauci has been sitting around for 20 years thinking “I need to fund GoF research so that we can develop a ‘deadly’ disease and release it on humanity and thereby implement all these authoritarian practices an implement the Great Reset”. Will people, including him, take advantage of the situation and do just that? Yes. Was it planned? I don’t think so. He and his colleagues have been pursuing their own meglomania, hubris, and greed and it’s bitten them in the ass and they moved frantically to cover up their part in it.
I will read the linked document. After writing some code so I can pretend I did something useful today….
EF and I had two nights of kiddo-free time. Which meant that we went out to eat on Friday, drank too much, toked too much, and then woke up the next day hungover.
Only to drive to Lansing to go thrifting. And then we celebrated a neighbor’s birthday by… surprise! – drinking too much whiskey and smoking weed. And played some great Euchre.
So I woke up really hung over, worked out, and, in the afternoon, had a friend over to listen to some records.
I fucking love Euchre. I got addicted to that game one summer in high school by my three (((friends))). 16 year old me was so into it that I evidently ruined it for them because it’s all I wanted to play.
So much fun w/ good players.
Euchre was our mainstay on mids at the radar site. I love love it.
In arty it was always Spades.
Spades and Hearts made it in rotation from time to time. Also a variation of Slap Jack/War but anyone walking by can slap in on a pair. Made for long stretches of games
There is an app called “Trickster Euchre” that lets you play online with friends.
During the lockdowns, we would zoom with our (lefty) neighbors and play euchre, making sure that our partners were not our spouses. It was great fun.
making sure that our partners were not our spouses
They should just rename that app to Key Party.
Just don’t go with family
Well if you were the same room – wacka chicka wah – then it would be easier to cheat đ
ahem.
Euchre is one of the few card games that I get better at, the more I drink.
More COVID truth that nobody cares about.
Isn’t that what you would expect? In August people in the South are chilling inside – where the infections occur. Weather cools off, people go back outside.
Why aren’t Kyles lawyers objecting to all this speculation and hearsay? On the plus side, DerpTube’s CC keeps writing Gaige Grosskreutz as “Gaige Gross Crotch.”
COVID almost killed me, because I’m a fat fuck!
The only protection we have is the vaccine. Or…it’s the only one they are allowing us to have…you decide.
That whole article hurt my brain.
But at least the sinner has repented.
WTF would you get a “vaccine” for a disease you just recovered from?
Because we are still being lied to that it is a vaccine and not a glorified therapeutic? Just gotta adjust the definition of what a vaccine is and isn’t and presto!
I’ll bet his Vitamin D levels were undetectable. How long are we gonna pretend that “healthy” people succumb to this?

Why didn’t they tell me Covid could lead to asbestosis? I would have rushed out for the jab had I known.
Sounds like he got zero treatment until they put his fat ass on the vent.
So…a normal covid patient tossed into a hospital. Me thinks there is an issue with the immediate venting…
“Travel into the US is getting back to normal, sort of.”
This morning a local news channel told me that there are exemptions from needing to be vaccinated to enter the U.S., including coming from a country with limited access to the vaccine. Because, you know, science and deadly pandemic and stuff.
What would the US be without our luxurious lanes of exemptions we can drive through?
Covid is a rich man’s disease.

Something something FIERCE URGENCY.
Move-in cleanup continues apace at Chez Mojeaux. Hired trash haulers to come take away a YUUUUUUGE pile of trash and junk including a nonworking fridge (a failed flip). We can park a car in our garage now, albeit not two. However, the stuff around the perimeter of the garage needs sorted, so after that we can bring back the stuff in our storage unit.
I will say, I have never been so happy about my nonhoarding tendencies as I have been with this move. Lots of stuff, but also manageable.
I’m still missing my embroidery bag. I think that’s gone forever. ?

Nope. Haven’t heard from them yet today.
