Good morning clowns! Where have I been you might ask? Florida! Too bad I won’t be able to take the RV down to service the Spring Training crowd this year, but luckily the Kentucky Derby is still on.
Until then…

Did anyone play SOTU bingo with a card full of mistakes and ramblings and find it easy to win?
I have done what I’ve done for every other such speech – I ignored it.
I was bad at ignoring it in prior years but I recently picked up Elden Ring and the means to play it. I don’t know if any glibs ever got into the dark souls type games but it’s probably my favorite game, ever. I defeated a big knight then got ambushed in a courtyard. I tried to run away down a hallway but my health was getting low and I got gnawed to death by some rodents of unusual size. Way better than the SotU.
Waiting for a new gaming rig to arrive…
Nice, might have to waste some more money. Probably should play all the other games I already have first though.
Yeah I have a backlog too. But I have such limited time for gaming I may as well play the thing I really want to play, yanno?
I’m still playing Arceus while waiting for Immortal Empires* to drop.
*Not the actual title. It’s the unofficial name for the ‘all factions from all three games for Total Warhammer III’
I been playing ‘7 Days to Die’ online with my cousin and step-dad. My nephew got us started in it, but he done R U N N O F T to the Marines last year.
They keep upgrading the game and dragging us back in.

I bet it was a shitshow, full of bullshit, ad was followed up by a bunch of sycophant asshats doing their best to convince people they had not just watched a train wreck in slow motion by people that are abusing an elderly man, albeit a scumbag and criminal one that has lost whatever wits heh had, to drag our entire country into the shitter.
I don’t recall the party in power ever giving rebuttals. That’s how much of a clusterfuck it was.
Even before the amyloid plaques kicked in Biden wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, now it’s just beyond sad.
This. He was outed as a plagiarizer back when I was still in College and got beat out by Dukakis.
I last watched one during Clinton’s first time.
Same.
I did read Vodkapunidt’s drunk blog after the SOTU was done. But, that’s about as much SOTU as I can take, from this or any president.
Besides, watching it results in my breaking my “no adult beverages on weeknights” rule.
“Does that mean you’re going to cut taxes, Gropey Joe?”
He intends to put price controls in place, because that shit has worked well every other time idiots tried it…
Literally, every single business cost we have has increased over the past year. Fuck that guy.
They want to convince the people impacted the hardest by their fucking destructive marxist green agenda, big government policies, those that actually have to work for a living, that the economic disaster they are experiencing isn’t happening, and that if it is, it is for their own good…
I don’t understand the push to price controls. These don’t work. These have never worked.
Because Real Price Controls have never been tried!
/snark
Look at how fast rent control flared up…
Depends on what you mean by “worked.” Compare Nixon’s presidential election performance in 1968 (pre-controls) to his performance in 1972 (post-controls). The easily fooled folks just lapped them up. Joe’s handlers and their media overlords will spin controls as patriotic (only racist, white supremacists will object) in order to save themselves in November.
“Compare Nixon’s presidential election performance in 1968 (pre-controls) to his performance in 1972 (post-controls)”
I don’t see how the voters in 1972 were motivated at all by price controls. Nixon was re-elected for a lot of reason. Price controls weren’t one of them.
Or, is my sarcasm meter broken?
I caught the last 5-10 minutes. Joe almost did the whisper thing again. He finished by angrily yelling about how this is going to be the greatest time ever.
What I saw was creepy. Joe screamed something about “ONE PEOPLE, ONE COUNTRY” etc. In a time of Nazis hiding behind every bush, it was a strange thing to shout.
Did he say anything about “ONE LEADER”?
The “USA!” chants were a nice touch.

Well, with the Kung Flu panic theatre coming to an end now that it is hurting team blue’s prospects in the 2022 midterms, they need some other agenda to keep the usual lemming douchers in panic mode. And the whole Gaia is roasting to death agenda, while priority one to follow up the Kung Flu junket, is turning out to be more difficult to peddle since so many people realized the bullshit peddled as something far worse to do the global reset.
I’ll pay attention to the SotU when it’s delivered as Washington (and every president up until that scumbag Wilson) delivered it.
Deliver it as a document with a crate full of props? Ensure the crate has holes to allow the kid to breath.
I’ve said it in previous years, but I want it to be the actual State of the Union. “Federal outlays were XXX . . . 372 new bills were passed increasing the federal register to 638546566 pages. We will now read those pages . . . Let’s look at the details of each federal agency now . . . Department of Homeland Security Spent XXXXX dollars on the Transportation Safety Administration. That money was spent on . . . . They hired xxxx new employees, xxx retired, xxx left for other opprotunites . . . x were let go for cause. . .etc, etc, etc”
It is also supposed to be “from time to time”, so if I was President I would do a 2 year gap, then deliver then weekly for 6 straight weeks, then skip another 18 months. Etc.
Keep congress on its toes never knowing when one is suddenly going to show up.
Also, I wouldnt tell anyone that the first one would be different than normal, so everyone shows up, tvs are there, then a courier walks in with a piece of paper and hands it to the Speaker.

And, of course, he would be required to wear the horns agaiin.

Chinese news anchor wears Ukrainian flag colors while reporting NATO is responsible for Russian invasion
“Stop making me hit you.” But in a certain sense she is not wrong if the stated position(s) of Russia are taken seriously.
I wonder if Xi is realizing that the problem the Russians are facing is that their military is still modeled on the old Soviet system. A requirement when you worry that a military that is too competent poses a threat to your dictatorship. Despite some moves to supposedly change their military to a more modern one (they are still using conscripts and have no NCO schools relying on officers to do everything), the system produces a military force that remains incompetent and ineffective, and at best, outside of tactics that involved massive artillery barrages to destroy everything followed on by hordes of rapists to deal with the survivors – like Zhukov did in WWII – can be used to frighten people that are more focused on old accomplishments vs. doing anything now. I hope the ineffectiveness of this Russian modern force, which is invading a neighbor using superior numbers and technology, and is still failing miserably, gives Xi pause that if he sends his military into Taiwan, a naval operation which is orders of magnitude more difficult than crossing ground troops into a neighboring state, might result in a disaster for him and his ambitions (Taiwan might not have the numbers China has, but its military is far more professional).
Note that our current government is hard at work and doing its best to destroy and our professional military forces with wokeness and a focus on fighting AGW and not a near peer enemy, and I am suspecting that a lot of it has to do with fear of a quasi efficient military both making the civilian sector look bad because it’s ineffectiveness and posing a risk to it’s corruption and abuse of power.
I was speculating that the Ukraine situation might make China not go after Taiwan. If they break their teeth on an invasion, the intimidation factor towards their other neighbors goes away, and they lose both influence and face. Better to keep saber rattling and make-believe.
Modern China, if anything, seems to have restraint when actually using force. Whether this is real restraint or paper tiger stuff remains to be seen. Perhaps it will never be seen. But after Ukraine I’m not inclined to say never.
The Russians are methodically cutting off the important cities and are succeeding. Then they’ll use the threat of actually capturing the cities to try to secure a favorable deal and will only try to secure them if getting a deal fails. The Chinese vis a vis Taiwan are another story entirely and their bellicose saber rattling is for domestic consumption only. Unless they’re straight up nuts, and maybe they are, they know they can’t take Taiwan.
The problem with this analysis about the effectiveness of the Russian forces, is that it flies in the face of the obvious belief on the part of Putin that this would be a quick operation, something they needed to make sure the west’s reaction would remain minimal and ineffective, as the west would be forced to accept the new status quo. For one, the Russian military clearly, beyond the ineffectiveness of the training of its troops, also has both equipment reliability/readiness and ordinance issues. As I mentioned, the effectiveness of their tactics in western minds are still based on Zhukov’s WWII tactics, which involved blistering artillery attacks that leveled everything followed up with hoards of angry rapists. That shit don’t work when you lack the will & hardware to do the first thing in that equation. Worse yet, I bet Putin’s plan expected Zelensky to run to the west or to be captured/killed in the early moments of the invasion, while Ukrainian resistance would be minimal if non-existent (I wouldn’t be surprised that like our leaders thinking about Iraq, they expected the Ukrainians to greet them as liberators), allowing them to score a quick win.
The shit isn’t playing out as expected. Worse for them, for once, the west has actually quickly imposed consequences. Coupled with the fact Zelensky remains a thorn in their side and Ukraine remains defiant, while the Russian troops remain not just ineffective, but seem to not want to be there doing the fighting, this bodes ill. maybe they think they can encircle the Ukrainian cities and bleed them, but I suspect Putin will be dealt with by his own people long before that tactic can be made to work now that Russia’s rich and powerful are suffering the economic consequences of this invasion.
As for China, Xi is also a tyrant running a police state, and while most of the Taiwan shit is sabre rattling, he too is an ambitious prick with delusions of grandeur. I would not put it past him to want to capture Taiwan and reunify the country, no matter the cost, as part of his legacy. Especially since the CCP believes the greatest show of strength for their new world order ambitions will be a unified China. The Russian economy simply couldn’t produce enough effective military hardware, keep them reliably employable, and have enough ordinance for a prolonged campaign, because the Russian economy is about as big as that of Italy or NY state. That’s not the case with the Chinese economy, where western elites selling out their own people to enrich themselves for close to 3 decades now, managed to give China the ability to lie about how fast its economy was growing and steal western IP (and especially military IP), to help it build a more modern and deep military.
China’s problem still remains the ineffectiveness of their military training and doctrine, despite China taking bigger steps towards modernizing it’s military training, but that gap is quickly closing as the US leadership is hard at work eroding whatever competency our military had left. My hope is that the Chinese leadership realizes the cost of going after Taiwan, especially if things go bad, is too high to contemplate any time soon. But if we in the west don’t change direction and start treating China like a near peer adversary and do our best to box them in, like we did to keep the USSR from going to far, we will be forced to fight sooner than later.
obvious belief on the part of Putin that this would be a quick operation
Not obvious to me. Why would they need to hurry? Their supply lines are very short and they have complete air superiority. What would be the rush, particularly if their goal is a negotiated settlement, not a prolonged occupation? Nobody is coming to the Ukrainians’ aid in any meaningful way and the sanctions on oil and grain hurt the west more than Russia given their partnership with China.
Tucker had Magregor on last night, basically what he said.
The SWIFT sanctions could also backfire. The Russians and Chinese are going to financially partner now. And they are going to have a very good selling point to make when trying to get other countries to work in their currencies versus the dollar, given DC’s obvious willingness to use the banking system as a weapon.
If he was planning a leisurely campaign, why the failed airmobile assault? Why the piecemeal feeding of uncoordinated units across the border? Why the logistical FUBAR?
I don’t think the Russians are stupid enough to plan an invasion that doesn’t go as fast as it can. Time is not the invader’s friend.
We are seeing an underperforming army. Will still win any big battles, but every day it drags on, every city shelled into submission, is a step toward Russia losing the peace.
Given the fog of war and conflicting reports, and obvious propaganda bs, only time will tell what’s is really happening.
My guess is Putin was had by some Ukrainian chatturbate site floozy, and now he wants revenge.. The reason this is dragging on is that all the Russian troops are hunting for that Ukrainian floozy without understanding why she is on the first 51 cards of the deck, in various sexy poses, with Zelensky being the one on #52.
Drake speaks wisdom. We are trying to separate information from a tsunami of propaganda.
In this respect, some credit to Putin is due in keeping the world confused. Nobody knows what he’s doing, what he expected. There’s much speculation but nothing more. He appears both incompetent and strategic at once.
I don’t know what his end game is, and I don’t see any outcome in his favor, long-term. But I’ve been wrong about this thing from the start.
^This. They tried a quick decapitation, but there’s nothing to support it was expected to succeed. The ridiculously low civilian death count up until two days shows how little firepower and effort was put into that.
Now the real war effort is beginning. I’ve seen nothing but anecdotal clips of Ukraine “winning” against a few soldiers or a handful of empty vehicles. Where are the videos of the actual firefights? We got more live streaming in the Canada protests. I’m thinking most of these are staged as propaganda to give exactly the false impression that Russia is stalled and Ukraine has the upper hand.
Ukraine has a fraction of the forces, minimal training, and inferior equipment. I wish them the best of luck in defending their country, but there is no realistic scenario that Russia doesn’t obliterate them without boots on the ground intervention from NATO. There is no reason Russia can’t spend the time to level each city until Ukraine caves.
“Now the real war effort is beginning. I’ve seen nothing but anecdotal clips of Ukraine “winning” against a few soldiers or a handful of empty vehicles.”
Anyone believing Ukraine is winning, is not paying attention to anything but propaganda. But the Russians sure as hell don’t look like they are being effective, let alone trying to win. And while Ukraine might not be able to fight to win, the Russians losing still is a possibility based on what I am seeing right now. Especially on the economic side.
Without the impression that Ukraine can fight, how would Ukraine get material support?
Propaganda, fog of war, it’s all lies. We’re seeing what wants to be seen.
I’m not convinced that the Russians are as incompetent as being portrayed, but I can certainly imagine that the troops have pitiful morale. How has their war-lust been stoked for this? If it is conscripts I can imagine this being Viet Nam level (pace American troops).
But the Russians sure as hell don’t look like they are being effective, let alone trying to win.
Russia just started their real offensive on Monday. There is a 40 mile long column of Russian armored vehicles heading towards Kyiv as of yesterday afternoon. This hasn’t even begun to get real for Ukraine yet.
There have been skirmishes and maneuvering, but the Russian hammer has not yet fallen on Ukraine’s cities. Once that happens, we’ll be able to judge the effectiveness of Russia’s military.
I saw reports that several units in that convoy ran out of fuel..
That’s a serious problem of basic logistics. It reenforces the same thing I saw with their airborne troops being dropped and then running out of supplies. All this tells me that they didn’t expect this to be this difficult or take this long. that or they seriously are inept.
You can read that 40 mile long convoy two ways:
(1) It shows that Russia has the material superiority to crush Kiev any time it wants.
(2) It shows that Russia can’t move an invasion force 60 whole miles from its own territory without having to stop for days.
I keep coming back to – why would any invader move at anything less than their best speed? Every day of delay benefits the defenders, in multiple ways.
Also, Putin had a plausible way to win the peace if the decapitation strike worked and resistance collapsed. What are his victory conditions now? How does he win the peace now? Especially if he has to go old school and flatten the cities? Sure, the Rissians can go olde schoole and bombard the crap out of everything, the old “make a desert and call it peace” route, but that leaves Russia worse off in the long run – its military has been shown to be a relic, albeit one with lots of artillery, its economy is reeling, the Western alliance is revitalized. Hell, Xi is probably eyeing those Siberian oil fields and cooking up an “historical claim” to them.
I still think they had a weak Plan A, and Plan B is proving to be even worse. The effectiveness of a military is utlimately measured at the negotiating table. Russia’s army is not setting it up to do well on that front. So far, anyway – its been barely a week, after all.
RC, a delay by Putin gives the Ukrainians time to get the women and children out, which may be what Putin is waiting for.
I take it al back. Ukraine to be canceled for not being tranny supportive enough. Now Russia will win by default.
Klinger was a they ahead of xer time.
Saw an interesting rumor in 4chan, supposedly via Telegram: Russian forces weren’t given much advanced notice of the move into the Ukraine, and unfortunately many of their officers had sold what they thought was excess fuel on the black market, leaving them short.
Just a rumor, but plausible to me.
Typical non military armchair generals who know nothing and cant see th8ngs for what they are.
Notice all the trucks Russia is sending into Ukraine as an attack force? Notice that most of the vehicles in that 40 miles convoy are trucks and not tanks. You dont drive tanks hundreds of miles outside of combat areas because treads have short drive lives and tanks are maint intensive.
If you dont know the difference between trucks making an assault run, tanks assaulting or lightly armored vehicles assaulting, you are not qualified to give anything but an opinion about how things are going in Ukraine.
Ukrainian military and militia have defeated some of the best units Russia has to offer. Russian airborne units are paraded as elite units.
“…they have complete air superiority.”
I’m hearing conflicting reports about this. I read a Reuters article (yeah, I know) where many Western observers were surprised how light Russia’s use of air power has been, and that Ukraine jets are still able to attack ground forces.
They could take Kinmen County, which is an island, smaller than Hong Kong, surrounded on 3 sides by the PRC, with a ~2 mile wide moat called the Weitou Bay being the only real deterrence. I would be surprised if they didn’t try this at some point, and they’d probably stop there (for a while). Slap Taiwan and the U.S. around a bit without risking a real offensive commitment.

Taking a stand for TRUTH
On a call with reporters on Tuesday, Nick Clegg, president of global affairs at Facebook parent company Meta, described the industry’s efforts to curb the reach of Russian state media as “exceptional measures” taken in response to “a highly exceptional and tragic state of affairs.”
He also characterized the decisions as “a difficult balancing trick.” Ordinary Russians are using Meta’s services, which also include WhatsApp, to get information, organize protests, speak out against the war and communicate with friends and family, he said.
That’s why Meta disagrees with calls from Ukraine’s government to cut off its services inside Russia, he said.
“In the long run, the thing that really undermines propaganda is counter speech,” he said.
Wheeeeeeee!
Now do China, you sanctimonious hypocrite.
I believe Facebook is still banned in China.
I stand corrected. WhatsApp too.

If he wins, the arseholes who voted for him will deserve what they get. Everyone else, not so much so.
“If he wins, the arseholes who voted for him will deserve what they get. Everyone else, not so much so.”
Correct, that’s what I meant, but important to express properly.

The Russia narrative is starting to look like it’s a lot less about bashing Trump than it is about deflecting attention away from the cesspool that is American politicians’ involvement in Eastern European affairs.
They did try to interfere, just halfheartedely and ineffectively and it was more sowing chaos than picking a side. That being said, all of the major nations try like hell to influence elections in other countries. Nothing unique there.
Ass Wednesday has a story: Once upon a time there were hot callipygian girls.

I didn’t say it was a good story.
You didn’t say how long ago that time was, either.
The short answer: forever. There’s always been some hot women with fat asses. And some guys who are into that.
Venus Callipygian was supposedly ~300 BC.
The Chechens are in the house.
Chechen Muslims fighting for Russia north of Kiev
What’s with the duct tape?
Also, those guys aren’t wearing masks, they’ll be dead in a week.
That particular brand of duct tape makes a nice, shiny target.
That sounds…farfetched.
Oh…not chechnyans
I hear the Ukrainians have bullets coated in pig’s fat specifically to deal with them Chechens…
Saw something about that. The writer thought it bad to offend muslims in such a way. Because of course.
Shades of the Sepoy rebellion.
That story has done the rounds in previous conflicts. Who knows?
Are they fighting elements of the Belarus army?
Ukraine would have the best democracy in the world if they had a system of Chechens and Balarusans.
So, now I’m really appalled at our SJW class. Thems have all the opportunity in the world to go forth and punch totalitarians, and here they sit on thems’ asses.

Both of those things HAVE to be against the Geneva convention. if not, then we should get rid of the damned thing.
Gun control buzzword bingo.
During Tuesday’s State of the Union Address (SOTU), President Joe Biden called for a ban on “assault weapons” with “high-capacity magazines that hold up to 100 rounds.”
He followed this demand by asking, “Do you think the deer are wearing Kevlar vests?”
Biden also mentioned his push to “crack down” on guns that can be built from gun kits. He referred to such firearms as “ghost guns,” a moniker commonly used by office-holding Democrats seeking to secure more gun control.
Pwnd.
I should probably build another AR before June. It looks like the ATF is coming down on 80% lowers.
I know it’s been mentioned before, but do you just need a drill press to finish them out?
You can use a palm router for some of them.

Hm, thanks for sharing that.
Do their kits really have everything you need?
Yes
Ah, sold out of those. 🙁
As we all know, a wise and prudent government should hold all the guns, and then when the country is invaded, hand them out like candy to every untrained LARPer who shows up.
This is just smart policy.
Biden just might be dim enough to believe that hunters are still a significant driver of gun culture.
So, now I’m really appalled at our SJW class. Thems have all the opportunity in the world to go forth and punch totalitarians, and here they sit on thems’ asses. These folks have been inculcated with pacifism for two, three generations, and yet they’re still willing to fight and not even a battalion of our glorious youth have volunteered.
They will be on the front lines of the NGO “aid” army.
Lets brew Wednesday – Boddington Bitter
http://barclayperkins.blogspot.com/2022/03/lets-brew-wednesday-1913-boddington-ip.html
Just a touch under 5%, 32 IBU, 32:52 IBU:OB ratio.
Basically a nice pale ale, no punch in the face from the hops, but they are there. Fuggles and Goldings, that would be nice. And Cluster for bittering, to make it historical and all.
On the ratio, for those who don’t brew, for an IPA I generally aim for just over 1. For a pale ale, about .8. This is about .6.
What makes something a bitter then?
Because a brewery calls it that?
Its a type of pale ale. Often the same beer would be called a pale ale if bottled, and a bitter if draft.
This is something Ron Pattinson, the beer historian who writes the barclayperkings blog, stresses. Names on historic british beers don’t necessary fall into easy-to-define categories.
Some of the modern beers aren’t that easy to categorize either, but people keep trying.
True that. Thanks for the explanations all.
The bitter is on a separate tap at the other end of the bar, usually unlabeled.
It took me far too long to figure that out. Once I did, pub visits were even more enjoyable.
what is the OB in that ratio?
Original Bravity, apparently.
OG, not OB. I got a B in high school typing.
Thanks
That was my guess. But I wasn’t sure.
I would guess a typo for Original Gravity.

Feud?
The feud between President Joe Biden and Tesla CEO Elon Musk doesn’t seem to be cooling anytime soon.
Musk said no one was watching Biden after the president did not mention Tesla during his hourlong State of the Union address on Tuesday.
“Nobody is watching the State of the Union,” Musk said in an email to CNBC. Biden touted the combined $18 billion investments by Ford and GM to build electric vehicles. Tesla, an electric automaker giant, wasn’t mentioned in Biden’s speech to the nation. Musk did not immediately return CNBC’s follow-up requests for comment.
Musk later tweeted directly to Biden saying “Tesla has created over 50,000 US jobs building electric vehicles & is investing more than double GM + Ford combined.”
The lack of a mention by Biden leading into Musk’s latest comments comes after CNBC reported on the ongoing battle between a billionaire and a commander in chief. Musk, who also runs space exploration company SpaceX, has an estimated net worth of over $235 billion, according to Forbes.
He puts profits over unions.
Musk is the only one who can make their green energy bullshit “work” and they hate him for it. Yet more evidence than the real goal is immiseration for the plebians and empowerment for the connect patricians.
Musk is PROFITING from the Holy Cause and that is unforgiveable.
Even worse, he doesn’t give 10% to the big guy. That is his greatest sin. No amount of taxpaying, donations to charities he (not they) choose, nor even sales of his filthy stock-lucre, will atone for it. Only his obedience will suffice.
Exactly. Musk is a horrible steward of the tax subsidies that Tesla gets. He uses too much of them to actually build cars.
A better steward of taxpayer money – Solyndra – would have cut down on their costs so more money can be kicked back to the “right people”.
I think they are far more angry at him for calling them out for being idiots for believing the stupid shit they do…
^ this is the real, real goal
It explains pretty much everything Biden does
Daily Ray of Sunshine
Thank you!
Biden’s advisors have privately pushed back against inviting Musk to future industry events, as they are concerned the outspoken executive will say something that could embarrass the president or the administration, according to a person familiar with the discussions.
“Put some clothes on, old man.”
The IOC has decided that Russian athletes can compete in the Paralympics starting Friday, but they are considered “neutral” and have to cover up the RPC logos on their uniforms. Facebook erupts with people saying this was a weak response. I think I’m ok with this, it’s not the athletes’ fault what their leaders do.
I wonder if they can find a way to strip Russia of its veto in the UNSC. There’s probably a crack team of undergraduates farmed out from some think tank working on the problem through Twitter (they left Tumblr when it got rid of porn, naturally) as we speak.
Seriously, is there any international organization which isn’t just a province of Western hegemony?
I wonder if they can find a way to strip Russia of its veto in the UNSC.
The Charter lists the USSR as a permanent member of the Security Council, not Russia. Russia could easily be removed altogether.
All it takes is the rest of the UN going along with it. See Taiwan losing its seat and recognition.
Yeah I’m fine not doing any of this bullshit.
Usually things like this only hurt the little guy, not the people in power. I get that this is supposed to pressure people to hold their leaders accountable, but here in the “land of the free” our leaders aren’t even accountable.
Yeah this kind of thing seems both unjust and ineffective to me.
Is the Russian National Team actually participating or it’s a semi official group like they did for the Olympics due to the doping sanctions?
Semi official, they are playing under “RPC”, Russian Paralympic Committee.
@ kinntah, robc, Neph, anyone else with kegerator experience (Hyperbole?)…
I posted in the forum asking for advice on doing basically a two-part kegerator build; short-term and long-term. I’d appreciate it if you’d come school me. (no homo)
You mentioned that you will have two kegs at your party.
Short term solution — build a jockey box (there will be lots of youtube videos out there). You will need a 5lb or 10lb CO2 tank; a regulator; two sankey couplers; a splitter for the gas line; two faucets; a small, cheap cooler; some gas line; a lot of beer line. Most of this can be repurposed for a kegerator later on.
Long term solution — get real, you’re not going to get rid of the jockey box after you built it. You will continue to use if for outdoor parties and picnics. So, buy a nice kegerator. Install it in your house.
I’ll take a look at jockey boxes.
Replied in the forum with some basic advise.
Thanks, Neph. I’ll take a look

Re: Is Russia Incompetent at war? Whycomes they haven’t defeated Ukraine yet?
I believe (and yes, it’s just my opinion) that Vlad doesn’t want to destroy Ukraine or kill “too many” Ukrainians, but that he wants to take it over as intact as possible.
He is way deep into the Kievsn Rus mythology about the Russian ethnic and cultural history.
Even Vlad gave the orders to obliterate them – how well would the Russian army carry them out?
Best I can figure – Putin is hoping an overwhelming show of force – the big convoy, etc., will make the Ukrainians surrender.
I suspect, as I think about it, that maybe the big convoy north of Kiev is there as an “army in being” – the real action is to the south, and they are hoping to cut up the Ukraine using those forces, with the northern and western forces mainly being blocking forces. That is a strategy that makes sense to me.
If the Ukrainians decline his invitation to surrender, and dig in to the west and in the cities, the Russians are likely to get cut up pretty bad. They’ll likely still “win” on the battlefield, but will have demonstrated that a Pyrrhic victory is still a thing. Hell, Georgia bloodied their noses, until they ran out of ammo. If the Western allies continue to feed support to Ukrainians holding in the West, this thing could drag out. If the Russians bombard the cities, it will be harder for the Western alliance not to direcly intervene.
What a fucking mess.

41% of polled Democrats liked the speech which is pretty devastating.
For real, wow…

Not enough? I wondered why Joe just didn’t come out in a Santa suit.

‘Constant shelling’ as Russian forces lay siege to key Ukrainian cities
Russian forces in Ukraine moved on Wednesday to tighten their siege of key cities, including the capital, Kyiv, and the southern port of Mariupol, as one mayor told residents he had been given an ultimatum to surrender or the city would be razed by shelling.
At an outdoor meeting, Artem Semenikhin, the mayor of Konotop, in the eastern Sumy region, told residents: “They have given us an ultimatum. If we start resisting, they’ll wipe out the town using artillery.”
Ukrainians also said they were fighting on in the Black Sea port of Kherson – the first sizeable city Russia claimed to have seized, which has also come under fierce attack.
With shortages of food already biting and mounting concerns over the ability of hospitals to function in besieged areas, some western officials privately began raising fears that Russian forces would use the same tactics as those used against civilian populations during the Chechen and Syria wars, which involved scorched-earth tactics.
“Privately” raised fears with the press?
So even if Putin succeeds in splitting Ukraine, the western end becomes more likely to seek EU/NATO security. Does that count as an own-goal?
Depends on what the purpose of the invasion was.
My guess is the primary purpose was getting permanent Black Sea ports. If so, why does Putin care about Western Ukraine?
Because Western Ukraine under the control of the Ukrainian government means an unending low-level war? It could turn into the Spanish Civil War 2.0.
I don’t know how much shipping goes outside the Black Sea, through the Mediterranean, but Black Sea ports may be less valuable if the straits to the Mediterranean are closed to Russian shipping.
Looks like the Ukrainians really dropped the ball by not having anti-ship missiles on their Black Sea coast, BTW.
Russia took Crimea to get access to the Black Sea. It must be important to them.
Ukraine under the influence of EU/NATO was always going to be a problem for Russia. Moving the border westward moves the problem farther from Moscow.
Overall, it seems like a very high risk invasion. It will be years before it resolves and proves to be worth it or not.
Somebody should ask “western officials” how many people were killed in the bombings of Serbia and Iraq.
Mmmm. Framke Janssen.
And so it begins.
Fuckity fuck.
“Democrats Decried Dark Money. Then They Won With It in 2020.
A New York Times analysis reveals how the left outdid the right at raising and spending millions from undisclosed donors to defeat Donald Trump and win power in Washington.
For much of the last decade, Democrats complained — with a mix of indignation, frustration and envy — that Republicans and their allies were spending hundreds of millions of difficult-to-trace dollars to influence politics.
“Dark money” became a dirty word, as the left warned of the threat of corruption posed by corporations and billionaires that were spending unlimited sums through loosely regulated nonprofits, which did not disclose their donors’ identities.
Then came the 2020 election.
Spurred by opposition to then-President Trump, donors and operatives allied with the Democratic Party embraced dark money with fresh zeal, pulling even with and, by some measures, surpassing Republicans in 2020 spending, according to a New York Times analysis of tax filings and other data.
The analysis shows that 15 of the most politically active nonprofit organizations that generally align with the Democratic Party spent more than $1.5 billion in 2020 — compared to roughly $900 million spent by a comparable sample of 15 of the most politically active groups aligned with the G.O.P…..”

Police end NZ anti-mandate protest
The area around Parliament has been the scenes of a full-day ordeal of violence as police removed protesters whose behaviour prompted the Prime Minister to say there were “words I cannot use in this environment for what I saw”.
Early this morning, police launched an operation at Parliament and the surrounding areas “to restore order and access to the area”. Before the sun rose, police could be seen getting in formation, holding shields.
As the sun set at the end of the day, about 150 protesters were peacefully facing police with riot shields on Featherston Street near the Railway Station – although other officers were clearing away signs of the earlier violence – bricks and bottles that had been thrown at them.
The afternoon saw fires lit, explosions, weapons used against police, injuries to officers and arrests at the anti-vaccine mandates protest.
About 5pm, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern addressed media and laid out just how she felt about the actions of the protesters.
Ardern said she was angry and deeply saddened to see Parliament desecrated in the way seen today, including the children’s playground being set alight.
It demonstrated why the government refused to engage with the group, she said.
“It was an illegal occupation, they engaged in hostile, violent and aggressive behaviour throughout the occupation, and today that has culminated in the desecration of this Parliament’s grounds. I am absolutely committed we will restore those grounds and we will not be defined by one act by a small group of people.”
I will shed no tears for any of the current global ruling class who wind up decorating lampposts. Sadly, I think it will be few to none.
I’m going to assume every word out of her mouth is a lie until proven otherwise.
If the police were really into restoring order, they’d have cleared out the inside of the parliment and burned it to the ground.
But enough about the MPs and PM.
