With Spud here, the usual high consumption of wine steps up a couple notches. We used to be able to handle this. Now… it handles us. Nonetheless, as much as everyone is bitching and moaning about 2021, it was actually a pretty good year for us. And I hope for at least some of you. Yeah, the morons were morons, the mendacious were mendacious, the power-hungry clawed their way to more power. But as we’d say in Hebrew, “Ma nishtana hashana hazeh mikol ha shanim?” So we just keep our concern local.
Speaking of which, a point of light in the Proggie morass: A small group of people came into our shop for coffees. All fully masked, some with doubles and face shields. They began harassing WebDom about her lack of face diaper.
“Why aren’t you wearing a mask?”
“Because our policy is we don’t have to if vaccinated.”
“But you’re breathing around people’s food. You need to wear a mask so you don’t breathe on their food or drinks!”
*silence*
“No response, huh? That figures. You really need to keep your breath away from people. You should go put a mask on. People like you are why this pandemic is still raging on two years later.”
*silence and coffees made*
*morons look smug, but take their coffees and stalk upstairs to our sitting area*
Our Snowflake SJW was working FOH as well, and was FURIOUS. “How dare they come into a private business and tell you what to do! They could leave! They don’t have to come here!” WebDom nearly fainted with shock. Maybe our ethos is starting to sink in. Whatever, this made our hearts very happy. And what happened next was even more amazing.
Snowflake, while leaving, told WebDom that she (Snowflake) hopes this is the worst thing that happens to her (WebDom) today and how dare they come HERE where she make the rules and tell her what to do. If she wants to make them wear a mask, fine, because it’s her shop. She makes the rules. From WebDom: “We then talked about how the government and media has been lying to everyone for years. She said if I want to start a rebellion she’ll be my lieutenant.”
Holy fuck, 2021 has been great.
Birthdays are also great, hangovers or no, and today’s include a guy who didn’t get there in time for the first law; a Jew who went to London; a guy who certainly convinced me of constitutonalism; the author of the most over-rated trilogy in science fiction history; a guy whom everybody went to; the essential Chicago politician; well, except for maybe this guy; a guy who’s just as famous for whom he fucked as well as whom he fucked over; and the inspiration for the “schwing” neologism.

Something something the scales have fallen from her eyes.
Or Snowflake is, in fact, a Fed. See if she starts encouraging kidnapping your governor next.
She’s still an authoritarian, and she wants to be amongst the ones in power.
I’m not buying it as a feel good story.
That was my take as well. A true believer that isn’t giving up on the fundamental belief – just the particular application.
Meh. I’ve changed some beliefs that I once considered core.
Is she an authoritarian if the authority she recognizes is that of the private property owner? I choose to take it as a sign of hope.
It’s not a Road to Damascus moment and a total conversion, but it’s an incremental step in the right direction. It absolutely made us feel good.

Though I’m not 100% up to speed since I haven’t attempted a dine-out in a couple years.
My understanding is that businesses, which are being dragooned into enforcing this shit, either have to check vax status or require masks. It’s easy for businesses to require the latter, but WebDom, as one of the proprietors, can say easily enough that she’s vaxed and fulfills the requirement that way.
I’ve only been out to eat once since the start of all this shit, and that was Dad’s idea since he had a bunch of gift cards to fast casual places.

“I take full responsibility for the hurtful words I used to describe the individual who burglarized the vehicles at my home,” Odinet wrote in a New Year’s Eve resignation letter addressed to the chief justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court.
“I am sorry for the pain that I have caused my community and ask for your forgiveness, as my words did not foster the public’s confidence and integrity for the judiciary.”
Odinet said she decided to resign “in order to facilitate healing within the community.”
——-
On Monday, Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams ordered a civil rights review of all the cases Odinet prosecuted as an assistant district attorney, saying the “casual dehumanization displayed by Judge Odinet raises serious questions about her impartiality and the presence of bias and discrimination in her work on the bench and during her time as a prosecutor.”
Casual dehumanization? By a prosecutor?
Stop it. You’re killing me.
I’ve certainly never used hurtful words to describe people who have stolen from me. That would be uncouth.

Drunk people in the ER can either be fun (or at least amusing), quiet, or belligerent assholes. Guess which variant decided to grace my hospital last night? Pro tip: when you’re visiting another city and go out to party, don’t get so obliterated that you can’t remember the name of your hotel, the phone numbers of any of your friends, or the location of your wallet/cell phone. Or if you do, it’s not anybody else’s fault that you get to sit in an uncomfortable hospital bed in the hallway until you sober up enough to walk. Bearing that in mind, if you decide to start swinging at the staff on account of your predicament, don’t be shocked if you wake up from your post-sedation haze several more hours later with some uncomfortable bruises.
If your friends won’t sharpie contact numbers on your face (under the penis, natch) you need better friends.
Happy New Year, CP! Good to see you!
So which is more fun in the ER – New Year’s Eve or Fourth of July? (Yes, I’m assuming you’re American. If not, I stand corrected and humbly beg pardon.)

If it doesn’t rain a fixed amount, like clockwork…
The rare December blaze that tore through Boulder County, Colorado, at frightening speed this week may not be that unusual in the future, wildfire experts are warning, as climate change sets the stage for more.
Wildfires do not historically happen during the winter, particularly in areas like Boulder County, where the ground is normally moist from snow.
But in recent months, Colorado has experienced a severe drought. From July 1 through Dec. 29, 2021, Denver recorded its lowest amount of precipitation by over an inch, with snowfall at record low levels, too. Meanwhile, Boulder, which typically sees about 30 inches of snow between September and December, received just one inch in that period leading up to the day of the fire.
“Climate” should be as predictable as a lawn sprinkler system on a timer. Otherwise it’s the harbinger of DOOOOM.
Isn’t Tundra in that area now? Paging Tundra! Tundra to the white courtesy phone, please! ?
He’s vacationing a long distance from there right now. Though he’s quite close, the fires stayed away.
Thank you!
I thought WesternSloper or someone else was also in the area?
Or, you know, doesn’t.
Once again, weather that doesn’t fit the political narrative isn’t climate at all, and how dare you suggest that; but weather that does fit the narrative absolutely is climate.
Technically speaking wasn’t this last year another El Nino event or is that 2022?
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/nijhuis/pipe-dreams-the-forgotten-project-that-could-have-saved-amer
this could have been prevented!
The control of nature isn’t given, it is won.
In addition to the time of year during which it occurred, Colorado’s fire stood out for another reason, said Philip Higuera, a professor of fire ecology at the University of Montana. Very few burn as many structures as this one did.
“Unfortunately, this illustrates one of the worst-case scenarios,” he said of the fact that the blaze burned through densely populated neighborhoods. “These are these high-wind events under these extremely dry conditions and you’re basically crossing your fingers and hoping there isn’t a human-caused ignition in the wrong place.”
Obviously, those people should never have been allowed to just build houses anywhere they pleased.
And all replacement dwellings should be built to new government fire resistance and aesthetic codes.
Well who wouldn’t want to live there?
Can hangovers be fatal? I think I’m going to lay off drinking for a month or so. Lord have mercy…
No the danger from alcohol poisoning has already passed. The only danger left is from killing yourself to make the misery stop. Happy New Year.
Pedialyte is your friend.
Hey all! Just thought I’d leave an update. I started getting pretty black-pilled so I needed a break form even the sane take on current event I get here.
I have yet to be injected with anything, be forcibly tested ( much less forcibly billed for said testing) or be fired. I’ve had most of the people who quit or retired tell me they wish they’d have stuck it out like me. True to form, the city hired the most crooked and inept firm they could find to administer the mandatory tests. They had a barely navigable enrollment process, which I had to have IT help me get through. As I created my passwords (two of them) I wrote them down verbatim. Two weeks later, the day of the first mandated test, I could not log in no matter what I tried. So I went to the testing location and told the guy. He said he gets that all the time and he’d get me in. He worked on it for about 15 minutes before giving up. He then noted that I had tried and told me that IT would contact me about fixing the whole thing. This was around Thanksgiving. They still haven’t contacted me. I have no desire to chase them down and remind them to punish me, so I just keep going to work and nothing happens. I strongly suspect someone from the city will be getting investigated over hiring this firm. It belong to the brother of a county supervisor (or something like that) and he has no capacity to deal with any of this. the same firm is tasked with determining whether our exemptions are granted and none have been either granted or denied yet.
Anyways, I missed you guys and this place. I’ll be spending some time around here again. Happy death of last year.
Welcome back! And congrats on standing your ground.
cool; good luck

Happy New year to you and your family Blackjack. I was thinking about you just yesterday and hoping your absence voluntary and short lived. Nice to see you sir.
Welcome back! Love the description of your enrollment process. Hearing yet another tale of gross incompetence on the part of the authorities is a good antidote to some of the depressing things; with morons like that in charge there is always hope.
Yeah, but happens whenever there is a true crisis?
Shocking revelation
Reviewing hundreds of Chinese bidding documents, contracts and company filings, the Post reported that China’s public opinion analysis software — used to detect politically sensitive information online — was also being used to collect information on foreign targets through U.S. companies like Twitter and Facebook.
Not only is China using its pre-existing software to gather data, it is also investing in more sophisticated programs to further its ambitions, the Post reported. One $320,000 Chinese state media software program reportedly mines through Twitter and Facebook to create a database of foreign journalists and academics.
Other programs have reportedly been developed to observe Western and foreign language in Hong Kong and Xinjiang, two places where the international community has condemned China for its alleged human rights violations. The Post reported that these operations have been in the works since the beginning of 2020.
Like it requires some sort of ultra sophisticated artificial intelligence bot to “follow” American politicians and journalists on twatter and facebook.
I’m shocked. ?
How can you gain ‘intelligence’ off of all of that stupidity?
I’ve laughed more than once that devoutly studying our military plans/acquisitions must drive foreign intelligence analysts insane. “Why are they doing that, it makes no sense? This must be an elaborate disinformation effort – that would make sense.”
It’s a shame that China does these things. Now where the hell is that fucking salad spinner I ordered?
‘There is an investigation going on so please don’t ask for details. (His wife) had nothing to do with this so please respect her as she too is concerned with (his) recovery.

2022 goals:
Buy more guns. I need more revolvers.
Buy more ammo. I’ve never ordered a pallet before.
Buy more steaks. Because I can.
I’ve already started on the first part. My Staccato C2 DUO should arrive Thursday or Friday. 😀
My 2022 goals:
– Dry fire for 15-20 minutes, 6 days a week. (Sub-goal: incorporate movement into my dry fire routine.)
– Do 50 live fire practices (with the pistol) between March and November. Matches don’t count, classes and open practice sessions do.
– Load enough handgun ammo to support the above, before March 1. (50 sessions * ~300 rounds per session = 15,000 rounds of 9mm. Time to get cracking!)
– Get my reloading system set up to do 5.56mm rifle ammo.
– Shoot at least five majors. Nationals is a question mark right now, but we’ll see.

First snow of the Winter…purdy.
Good morning and happy new year, you insurgent scum.
Here in SW OH it’s raining and 58 degrees. Tomorrow is when the temp takes a nosedive, so we may get some “snow showers” then.
Happy New Year to you, too!
Up here we’ve got a heavy fog and upper 40’s that’s supposed to switch over to rain and snow through tomorrow. The worst of all worlds.
The forecast said KC would get anywhere from two to six inches but so far it’s barely more than a dusting. Just enough to cover the ground. Hope it stays mild when it hits you as well.
Here in VA too. 60s and rain. Should be the same tomorrow too. Warmer than average but we tend to get the snow/storms in Jan/Feb either way.
We are still unseasonably warm here – waiting for winter’s hammer to fall in the next couple of months.
Here too, -26, waiting for the Hammer of Winter
We’ve not had a day under 0C let alone 0F.
Or should I say, you’re used to being hit with a much bigger hammer?
About 4-5 years ago we had what I called an “old fashion winter”. Lots of snow, lots of cold. Looks like this is the start of an old fashion winter. I used to ice fish any day when the temps were 10 degrees and warmer, if the wind was mild. Now I’m pretty much stuck inside. I don’t mind the snow but my snow blower is playing hooky and won’t start. I know the problem but I’m not able to do the fix myself.
4 degrees and first significant snow of the year. Extremely unusual (unprecedented?) for it to be this late in the year. This has been a bizarre late fall/early winter, the most bizarre in the 16 years I’ve been living here. Mostly sunny and 60s punctuated with really high winds (like 100 mph gusts).
Oh well, happy that the snow is here.

“I didn’t forget my mask. It’s right here in my back pocket. It is just as effective there as it is on my face. Ask the CDC.”
Expertisms
The US is ringing in the new year amid a Covid-19 surge that experts warn is exploding at unprecedented speed and could alter daily life for many Americans during the first month of 2022.
“Omicron is truly everywhere,” Dr. Megan Ranney, a professor of emergency medicine at Brown University’s School of Public Health, told CNN on Friday night. “What I am so worried about over the next month or so is that our economy is going to shut down, not because of policies from the federal government or from the state governments, but rather because so many of us are ill.”
——-
“Get ready. We have to remember, in the next few weeks, there’s going to be an unprecedented number of social disruptions,” Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of Baylor University’s National School of Tropical Medicine, told CNN.
Those include flight disruptions as well, he said, because of TSA agent and air crew absences.
Thousands of flights have already been canceled or delayed throughout the holiday season as staff and crew called out sick. On Friday, the Federal Aviation Administration said an “increased number” of its employees were testing positive for the virus, and that “to maintain safety, traffic volume at some facilities could be reduced, which might result in delays during busy periods.”
Don’t blame the government, you insurrectionist crackpots.
Also, I love how they pretend the TSA provides a necessary service which we could never afford to go without.
“Omicron is truly everywhere”
IDGAF, why lose your damn mind over something that’s relatively mild?
You could have been saying this for the past 18 months and not been wrong.
We’ve known since at least May 2020 that a small slice of the population is at serious risk with everyone else experiencing a bad case of the flu at worst.
True but it’s doubly so for this one. Hell, I actually want to catch it, the protection should be better than the shot.
It’s no bargain, at least in my case, but I’ll take it over the unknown risks of the vaccine. Once I’m recovered I intend to get an antibody test. Wife’s cousin went through this a few months ago and wound up with what his doc described as “incredibly robust immunity”.
Do you know what variant you have? Did they type it somehow?
No typing, just “positive”. Whatever it is, it is lingering.
Well that sucks. Hope you feel better.
Thanks, Stinky. If/when you get this you will likely be much better off. I’m in the “vulnerable” cohort (over 65, smoker, COPD, sleep apnea…) so probably worse off than most. Seems like I’ll survive, however. Not happy about my ruined vacation, though.
Ex and the kids returned from Florida yesterday morning. They were meant to be on a 6am flight from Ft Lauderdale to JFK. That flight was cancelled so (after arriving at the airport at 4 something), ended up on a 9am flight to LaGuardia.

https://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/2021/12/31/mural-veterans-salem-business/9055098002/
Not really less inflammatory – the over-reach is still a crock of shit and the city and art-farts should be told to pound fucking sand. It’s a sign is it? What is the legal definition of a sign? Stinking asshole bureaucrat.
But if it’s on private property, it can’t, by definition, be public art. And if it is not conveying clear articulable, unambiguous message related to the business or its environs, it is not a sign. The bastinado for all the apparatchiks involved.
I wonder how many other murals there are that haven’t been specifically approved, etc. that the city says nothing about because the commies approve of the message.

These always make me smile. Thanks, Uncle Bob.
Freezing rain over night, snow later today. I wish this had happened LAST week. Now that Christmas is over, I’d rather it be rainy and 58F all the way through to spring.
We have more on the way? Well crap. I was hoping what I saw this morning was all of it.
IIRC from the forecast yesterday afternoon, yes. I’m hoping no more.
Happy New Year everybody.

Hopefully heading West in a few months. The thought of leaving my kids is just crippling me though.
It has been snowing intermittently here (Blackfoot, Idaho) since before Christmas. Cumulative snowfall? ~ 6 or 8″ maybe. The sun made an appearance yesterday, and we’re supposed to get a two or three day break from dreary clouds and snow flurries.
I have no idea how this comports with historical patterns. I definitely don’t mind it when “gusty” means mid-twenty mph winds and not not mid-sixty.

New year, new bottle – perfectly reasonable.
It needs to be one that goes well with ham and black-eyed peas.
We had one final container in the freezer from last year’s batch. It will be consumed today, along with some spare ribs and cornbread.

Allow me to correct you @cjsnowdon
. By not implementing a Strategic Lockdown (as seen in China, New Zealand, Australia) you are doing nothing. Since March 2020, this government has done next to nothing. Never locked down properly, never quarantined, never closed borders and more.

Because they aren’t even as good as standard potato chips which are inferior to kettle-fried.

Good Gravy, the British are terrible at making French fried potatoes.
They make chips instead.

Happy New Years Glibs. Already have a pot roast going in the dutch oven, so off to a good start this year.
Last night was low key but fun. The kids had a dance party and watched fail army videos. The oldest daughter and I managed to catch Tremors on it’s final day on Netflix and watched that until sometime after midnight. It was good to hear the neighbors setting off fireworks and carrying on the celebration.
I hope everyone had a fun evening.

Great googlymoogly, talk about the ideal female form…
Food prep and food service is one of those places that should have been wearing facemasks or sneezeguards all along. At least those workers mostly wash their hands, unlike doctors or other healthcare “professionals”.
New Year’s meals:
My family had a traditional one, and it combined with my Filipino roommate’s version to include ALL the magic symbols.
At one point it started having all the foods, but then it slimmed down to:
Ham = prosperity
Black-eyed peas = luck
Cornbread = gold
Cabbage = dolla dolla bills y’all
Noodles = longevity
Lately I’ve just been slicing the cabbage into noodles and stir-frying that w/the ham.
No collard greens?
So standard except for noodles? Filipino’s get to add one thing?
She picked much more of the Lunar New Year’s menu.
I just looked out the window. Blue sky and sunshine. Yay!

“If Republicans are mad they can’t date me they can just say that instead of projecting their sexual frustrations onto my boyfriend’s feet.
Ya creepy weirdos
It’s starting to get old ignoring the very obvious, strange, and deranged sexual frustrations that underpin the Republican fixation on me, women,& LGBT+ people in general.
These people clearly need therapy, won’t do it, and use politics as their outlet instead. It’s really weird”

Deep Thoughts with AOC
She’s a thot leader.
*applause*
LOL
Is she a congresswoman or the mean cheerleader at the eighth grade lunch table? That’s just pathetic.
Progjection
Does she call out her own name during sex?
She just lies there like a dead fish, since she’s not going to enact someone else’s labor.
The adoption of farming may have led to less labour relative to hunting and gathering, says new study

Re: my fridge saga.
Took the Lowes GC from the warranty place. Found a nice *large* fridge in stock at local Lowes – scheduled for delivery Tuesday. (and removal of the current one). I’d love to keep my current one in the garage – even if it’s not really made for that – but I don’t have enough outlets to put it where it would be useful – and otherwise, not really enough space at the moment.
Gonna clean the floor again before I slide the new one in – and keep it further from the back wall just in case – will probably wait till later in the year to evaluate the floor from below again – unless I get any other indicators.
Was it leaking water?
The ice (from the icemaker rusted through the back panel of the fridge) was melting against the back wall and leaking down. I posted photos on twitter a while back. I’ve cleaned with bleach as recommended here and scrubbed quite a bit – it’s had a lot of air drying and dehumidifying since then. I’m not exactly sure what is layered between the floor boards and the compressed wood layer I see from the crawlspace – but I think the entire thing should be pretty dry at this point.
Not going to freak out about it at this point, but may come up if/when I move out.
Et tu, NASDAQ?
Leads me to wonder why we decided to list on NYSE when we went public this past summer. NASDAQ’s diversity rules seem like a perfect fit with our stated corporate objectives. Maybe the makeup of the board doesn’t jive with the rhetoric?
Disgusting.
Another reason I’m glad my company went back private.
“On Joe Rogan, Dr Robert Malone suggests we are living through a mass formation psychosis.
He explains how and why this could happen, and its effects.
He draws analogy to 1920s/30s Germany “they had a highly intelligent, highly educated population, and they went barking mad””
