Sorry about the confusion yesterday. I prefer to not get into details about what was said offline.
In other news I seem to have broken the push-pull valve stem to backwash my pool over the weekend. So about half of it is in the regular flow position about 18” into the pipes. So I am now stuck having to cut off the elbow and knock it out the top. My pool will likely turn green in the meantime, and that’s rather impressive during the winter.
Anyways…
AMLO tries to shake down team Brandon for concessions over migrants. WaPo thinks this will somehow backfire, so he will probably succeed.
AMLO is also seeking changes to electoral laws that incidentally appear to benefit left wing populists like himself.
Seriously NBC? If Nick Saban isn’t recruiting women, its just virtue signaling.
Evidently, Bitcoin didn’t fix this.
A majority voted to be poor, let them have it.
If US relations with Haiti—of all countries is at the point they’re shooting at diplomats, maybe its time to tone down the world police act.
I’ll get some shit for this…its just Creed without the sanctimonious bastard singing.

Once you have algae, you can add something that eats algae and build up a whole ecosystem. Like those bio balls or whatever they’re called.

Holy shit. How bad do you have to fuck up to be sent to the embassy in Haiti?
Haiti isn’t bad if you have money. Few Haitians do, but I assume an ambassador would.
If you make a middle class salary, you could probably have about 23 full time servants there.
My guess not fuck up, but rather actually adhere to your mission
So I didn’t have a condom with me. But then I figured, hey, when’s the next time I’m gonna be in Haiti?

For those viewing this in the 2020’s, you may not understand the Haiti reference. Back in 1990, Haiti was a sh!thole country in contrast to today.”
Peace Corps volunteers will always have Haiti, shared custody.
It’s cold outside, boys and girls. I was just outside dong a couple of fairly minor tasks (like pulling the battery out of the 914), and now my fingertips are in serious pain.
Honestly, it’s probably in the teens. I am not as resistant to cold as I used to be.
Yeah, it was 17 when I took the dog out yesterday. I was dressed like it was 30 below.
I may end up on the west side or even Utah. Complete pussy.
It takes a while to get your winter metabolism going. I needed a jacket and it was still 40 degrees! By March, 35 will be shorts weather.
NH is supposed to get snow overnight. I saw what I thought were a flurry or two as I drove home this afternoon.
Our forecast says rain, snow, freezing rain, then sleet.
I told my direct reports to use their judgement on whether to work from home.
You told government employees to use their judgment? That is the sort of judgment a government employee would… oh wait.
Would you rather I have them meddling? The question is “work” from home or “work” from the office.
Can’t they all just browse porn? I mean all in the broadest possible sense.
Not from our office.
outside dong?
You don’t want to freeze that. It likes warm.
He was trying not to cock up his minor tasks.
We’ve been spoiled with weeks of 60’s, then suddenly it’s in the 20’s and that hit hard. Not enjoying it either.
It’s 55* and sunny here, but we had the snow last week.
Our low is forecast to dip just below 60 over Thanksgiving; highs in the 78-84 range for the next couple of weeks, probably longer.
This is why we put up with the occasional hurricane.
Sorry about the confusion yesterday. I prefer to not get into details about what was said offline.
OK. Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut…
“In his first speech, Lula made it clear that the climate agenda will be central in his government,”
Fuck.
“We plan to increase the amount of slash an burn operations until we’ve brought the CO2 level in line with carboniferous period levels. We need the boost to our agricultural sector for the proles to work.”
Will his climate agenda consist of asking first world countries for money? That’s usually the case.
“Give us more cash or we unleash the cow farts!”
Essentially what Lula means is that Europe and the States can pay his selected cronies and NGOs boatloads of cash so he can make believe he is saving the Amazon, perhaps gain some international environmental awards (and the fancy receptions in a 5 star hotel in Geneva) and have less need to take part in national corruption schemes to pad his comfy retirement.
Well, someone knows how to play Tropico, El Presidente!

Sandals worn by Steve Jobs in the early days of Apple sold for $218,750 at an auction in New York City on Sunday.
The brown suede Birkenstock Arizonas were worn by Jobs in the 1970s and 1980s during “many pivotal moments in Apple’s history,” according to the auction house.
It’s the highest price ever paid for a pair of sandals at auction, Julien’s Auctions executive director Martin Nolan told NPR, and a record for footwear at the auction house.
Foot fetishist, or Mac fanboi?
gross
Really gross. He was known for not showering or using deodorant at that time.
Sandals at least are open air.
What, is he Jesus now? Are we going to save his holy Slurpee cup from his last dinner?

Rand got rations of shit from the usual suspects when he proposed the same thing on one of the bills.
You know who wasn’t on the take? Trump. Rand Paul isn’t either. The rest of them? Not so sure.
My favorite Rand Paul gotcha was when he didn’t disclose that stock purchase he lost money on.
“You know who wasn’t on the take? Trump.”
That’s one reason why he had to go.

Another day, another Twat fired.
I only like it cause he is acting as if he is one of us who had control of a billion dollar company. Fire fucking everyone.
I wonder if these employees have some endgame in mind when they do this or if they’re just that reckless.
I’m assuming reckless — if you’re fired for cause (violations of company communications policy or whatnot) you wouldn’t get severance. One would think they’d want the package even if they already had another gig lined up.
But I’m more of the stay-in-one-spot, don’t badmouth the boss to his virtual face kind of guy, so what do I know…
I think they are that young, stupid, and inexperienced.
They all missed the joy of working shit jobs in high school and getting shit on by bosses and occasionally getting canned for insubordination.
So, they are learning these crucial lessons and adult professionals.
I really think they believe there are no consequences to “speaking truth to power”.
Probably closer than fiction on this one.

Good job of the opposition party capitalizing on this btw.
Gotta get the spending approved before the GOP takes over the House. Not that they’ll turn off the printing presses, but McCarthy did threaten to slow them down a little.

A majority voted to be poor, let them have it.
It took me a second to realize our in-house sniper was talking about Brazil and not the US.
I’m still wrapping my head around the Democrats’ winning message: “You’ll be poorer and less safe, but at least you can kill your offspring
and get your student loans forgiven.”Hey — at least Stacey Abram’s variant of: “You’ll be poorer unless you kill your offspring.” appears to have been too much even for the jackasses.
The excitement these “international leaders” have at the prospect of all the renewed grifting in Brazil practically leaps off the page in that story. These people are sick.
That absolutely applies to us.
Defector attempts to make the case that the NYT is not liberal because it dares to question puberty blockers: How Many Trans People Does The New York Times Believe There Should Be?

Comment: My son (AFAB) has dealt with the bone density issue since about six months after he started puberty blockers. The remedy? He ate more cheese. Seriously.
Fuck the New York Times, fuck their hysteric both-sidesism, and fuck Thomas Friedman and Maureen Dowd, just because that cannot be said enough.
The cure is apparently cheese.

Well they are right about Thomas Friedman and Maureen Dowd.
This is true.
‘the quest to be as mentally and physically healthy as we want is always going to be complex, taking us down unpredictable roads no matter what issue we’re dealing with.’
From the passages above that statement it kinda sounds like that quest is slowly killing you. Maybe take step back from the shots and hormone therapy for a while and see if you don’t feel better.
Yeah, just a shade ironic there.
Does that get to a point? I zoned out trying to find one.
That is one ignorant idiotic article.
Read the comments, if you dare.
I already hate too many people.
Hrm. Well. This deadline gone and the next in 71 hours…hrm. I made it and kinda had a lot of copy going in. I did make a few sloppy fuckups my boss had to catch. Pretty meh of a day? I never know.
Would be semi-ree, but county commissioners are having a 7pm meeting. One bit of it actually looks interesting. Looks like I’ll be driving up. Good in that it’s probably story material for the next edition. Bad in that it’s more to do, but that’s still (mostly) good. I don’t like driving at night, though. It’s supposed to stay above freezing, and that’s the real concern. Not current precip but it’s moist. Yep.
I gotta make it into an adventure. I wish I had a switch that’d do that. I can get close. Odd changes in mood about work/the day. I suppose this is what ‘normal’ people feel like most of the time. Fairly famously, I don’t ‘properly’ feel a few emotions. I still got ’em! But meh.
Still thinking how necessary this journey is. It had one bit that sounds quite interesting. Or could be. I talked to the dude who was in charge of it earlier today. Yeah. I probably should.
So, did you decide? Or are you asking our advice?
Won’t you shed a tear with me for brave boys in blue?
The po-po and the Floyd family must surely get together every year to celebrate their wonderful lives thanks to George.
You know, I think there might be another option out there. Like you take them off the streets AND you don’t pay them for their phoney-baloney injuries.

Well, I finally got the notice from the county that my mortgage is finished. It’s done with.
Why does the house still not feel like home?
Bake some cookies.
Excellent idea! I have a recipe I can recommend! 😉
I was looking at the jar of honey from Fourscore’s bees and wondering if I could replace some other sweeteners with it.
Maybe molasses?
Put up some pictures, maybe a few throw pillows.
Alternatively, you can get drunk and wake up in the tub. That christens a house nicely. Just don’t pull a Keith Moon.
Hang a few pictures or one of those “Live, Laugh, Love” signs.
A little something to jazz up the bedroom
Yeah, there you go
It is wonderful that you rescued a dog, but you still shouldn’t let him sleep on the bed.
I read that as “jizz up the bedroom”. I was not disappointed.
The only problem with a sign like that, is you better deliver.
No wife or children?
I never owned a home or had a mortgage but I have spent a few years living in one place several times. It’s always just been “my place” never home. Without someone to go home to it just feels like a small, empty building were I happen to sleep and keep my junk.
I live alone. Have since starting at the state.
I’ve spent most of my adult life living alone as well. I’ve played house a few times but nothing serious or long lasting. Just saying maybe the reason it doesn’t feel like home is because there’s nobody to share it with.
I certainly prefer to live alone too but I can’t deny it feels rather empty at times. Maybe that’s why despite now fully owing the property it doesn’t feel like home. I don’t know, man. I’m just talking out of my ass.
I feel like there is a sitcom in this with you two moving in together. The Glib Couple.
I get the sense he likes to keep a neat and orderly place. I’m far from neat and orderly. Plus the smoking wouldn’t go over very well at all. He’d be lunging for his strangling gloves within a week.
Playing the part of Oscar Madison we have Trigger Hippie. And introducing UnCivil Servant as Felix Ungar.
I have knickknacks and art that are dear to me.
THAT SAID, no place I have ever lived after my childhood home has felt like “home” to me. It just approximates it.
After a bunch of moves and a housefire, there’s not a lot of my childhood left as physical objects.
Of the stuff I do have, the stuff I’m emotionally attached to seems to be things I’ve made with my own hands (like my miniatures).
I didn’t say they were childhood knickknacks or art (I have those in a box downstairs). They’re things I’ve gathered along the path of life.
Many of them are things I have made.
I didn’t say you had, I was reflecting on my possessions, and noticed.
Objectively, most of what I own is replaceable, and my reactions would be related to the difficulty in replacing it.
Very few things have sentimental value. I’m unsure why that saddens me in of itself.
Are you generally unsentimental? Or have you done/experienced very little over which to be sentimental about?
I like pretty things. When something is especially pretty, I feel close to it and put it on my knickknack shelf. Or, say, souvenirs from family moments. Things my kids made for me. My old motorcycle license plate. Two shell casings from when I went shooting with a friend. Stuff like that.
I was without a town I considered “home” from 1993 to 2005. Then I moved in with a wonderful woman and Austin became my home. This town didn’t become “home” until I had my house built.
When the roof is totally yours you’ll know it’s home.
That’s half paid off already and on track to go away by January.

*squeeeeee* You know me so well!
Frank Lloyd Wright with some upgrades, I see. And a SWIMMING POOL!!!! Wouldn’t live in it because who wants a bed on an outside brick wall in Illinois in the winter?
That hit the (g)spot.
Those slate floors are phenomenal.
I’m just disappointed the pool is so… ordinary. At least be kidney-shaped.
Gorgeous
There is not a rectangular room in that house… *twitches*
I love everything about it, except the Illinois part.
Too many windows – it looks like all of the rooms are outside areas.
No square angles – drives my OCD crazy
Indoor brick
I have very few windows to outdoors. As such I enjoy the concept pf bringing outside in.
Windows make me uncomfortable. The space immediately feels public, and under observation.
I don’t like the idea other people can see me. I can’t actually relax if I think I’m being watched.
Call me paranoid if you like.
You can thank me later.
6 acres. The house is surrounded by woods. The attack dogs will keep snoopers away.
I like windows, one of the requirements when I built my house was that every room had to have a window, even in the basement. No one here to see in, only me looking out.
“No square angles – drives my OCD crazy”
So I guess the Hundertwasserhaus is out of the question.
Lol, there’s a joiner who goes by “Adam the Tablemaker.” One of his signature pieces is a level coffee table composed of wood cut in straight lines, with no two of them parallel.
I would almost make the Illinois exception for that!
Except the swimming pool. Fuck that.
Right?! Too modern. Needs to be converted to a big concrete kidney-shaped pool with a low diving board at the deep end.
Hah, should have refreshed before my comment.
Kidney-shaped FTW!
It also needs a little mid-century pool-house, echoing the design of the main structure.
Indeed.
A giant glass atrium, for the cold winters.
Kidney-shaped have to be fiberglass drop-ins in Illinois due to the freeze/thaw cycle. Not sure how big they come, but not big enough for us (we had kids with friends and I wanted to do laps) Not impossible, but if you want a steel wall pool (which is what I have), you have to go pretty rectangular.
Fantastic place. Hey I enjoyed the Lemon Jelly you recommended as well slum Good stuff.
‘Make Things Right’ is such a great jam. And I love how Spacewalk just builds.
Love Thievery, btw – aside from Kruder and Dorfmeister, they’re the ones who really got me into downtempo. Oy, but their politics…
I dig “The Staunton Lick”. Yup, Thievery is a continued fav or mine, I’m sure their politics suck as much as their music is awesome. Putting Subcomandante Marcos on an album cover for example.
A bit of a tell, that.
Do you mean Thievery Corporation?
If you DIDN’T, let me introduce you.
I did indeed mean them.
I think of this as the ur Thievery Corp tune
That is a very nice groove. Booty dancing in my chair.
Their debut album, ‘Sounds From The Thievery Hi-Fi’ is kick-ass. Can recommend.
Along with their second album, “The Mirror Conspiracy” – includes gems like this.
Also en français
So this reminds me of “Easy Muffin” by Amon Tobin, which is banned everywhere on YouTube, likely because it was used in the Matthew McConaugheeeeeey Lincoln commercial.
Amon Tobin is dope.
More straight D’n’B but this track is awesome
I might be listening to a band named S.P.O.C.K. with a song entitled “Never Trust a Klingon.”
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5OL1kk-vEOo
Gothy dance music.
That one, I am not a fan of.
Now for something a little different.
That’s a great track, Mojeaux.
“When listening to Koops music it’s somehow easy to believe that it’s played by a small orchestra, but in fact the music is based on samples. Thousands of small clips from records puzzled together into new songs. All the drums, strings, horn sections and choires are actually sampled! ”
It’s really well done.
Yeup. 😀 Glad you liked it!
If you dig Thievery Mo, and you don’t already know Kruder and Dorfmeister (and their side project Tosca) you should check them out. You’ll probably like. Here’s a nice album from them.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2JWTHJNvOzY
I practically wore out my Sessions CDs.
Mojeaux, a whole double-album of remixes: https://www.amazon.com/K-D-Sessions-KRUDER-DORFMEISTER/dp/B00000G257
Maybe my favorite, if just for the long, slow build.
Yeah, love the Sessions album. I got introduced to them through that album by a Dutch buddy when I was living in the Dam. We played a ton of it. Takes me back to the early 2000’s. Such a fun time and place.
I am of the opinion that all the musicians I like have shit politics. Same as actors. I think it comes down to being part of what seems a lottery system; there are so many good ones that it is really just luck they make it at all. They discount all the shitty people, or people who didn’t have a feel for what is going on.
I’d be happy with the barn.
Maybe its just the wide angle lens, but holy crap those ceilings look low to me. I feel like I’d be constantly ducking my head.
I haven’t had a house with ceilings less than 10 feet for 15 years, and I really like higher ceilings.
We are debating when to buy in this crazy market and world. Just looking at listings in our target area and came across this.

That is … not my style.
So…
Im sitting in my annual hazardous waste training class and the thought just occured to me.
Doesn’t being required to report to the state any time you have a hazardous waste release violate your 5th amendment right against self incrimination?
Assuming the penalties for failure to report are civil damages, . . . then no (but, don’t trust the engineer for legal issues).
Nope. You the private citizen are not required to report. You the employee of [Company] are reporting on behalf of [Company] which has no such right.
I do not have that “nesting gene” everyone else seems to have. I have been in my new “home” (mine- paid cash) for coming up on six months. No pictures on the walls, hardly even any furniture. A bed,a desk (sort of), a chair, and a teevee. What bothers me more than anything is I don’t have my shop set up. There are some extenuating circumstances, but mostly it’s just me.
It’s not like I’m expecting company.
I was right. Leno was working on a steam car. Compressing kerosene with a hand pump is not a great concept for safety.

I’ll pass that along to Mrs. Dean. When she heard about it, she immediately said “I bet he was messing with a carburetor”.
Increasingly?
I would have said vanishingly. Still, I’m glad he’s ok. Besides, burns from your cars add character.
The article says there are five known White steamers in the world. I’m guessing that number is not on the move.
We had about 4-5 inches of fresh snow yesterday/today. I got my yard cleaned up , tomorrow the driveways. My snow blower was in the repair shop all summer, got it out last Thursday. Runs great and all the controls do what they are supposed to do.

Fetterman is making brain damage (non-toxically) masculine again! The NFL can be watched by wokists!
FETTERLUMP SMASH!!!
I did have an uncomfortable moment last week: in-laws and others were talking about how obviously unqualified Walker was due to his obvious brain damage. I noted that Fetterlump also is impaired due to brain injury – either that’s disqualifying in both cases or it’s fine in both cases.
They quickly moved onto “that’s different!”. Because “reasons”, I guess?
That dude is about as far from blue collar as you can ger.
Exactly – but good performance art is good performance art, even if it is political!
I am dumber for having read even that excerpt.
She has an entire book – imagine the brain damage you could do with that!
I couldn’t possibly tolerate that much patronizing condescension.
“This is what those morons want”
“…Fetterman offers a sense of stoic decency and empathy.”
Yes. A stoic, decent kind of empathy. Like when he wanted to “take it outside” with Nick Gillespie…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peOtufHAejo
I do have a great amount of sympathy for anyone who has suffered a stroke, but I’m not sure being silenced by cognitive impairment rises to “stoic.”
Didn’t he also assault someone with a shotgun?
ah yes all that potent empathetic masculinity of hiding the candidate in the basement for a couple months. It’s certainly not a ‘vision’ of anything other than compliant media.
Far-left platitudes fed by your parents’ cash while running a small town into the ground are the model for the New Masculinity™️.
I read most of it, God help me.
It’s Rednecks In The Mist yet again.
Perhaps they could just stop shitting on the middle class by taxing, regulating, inflating, and telling their kids they’re not actually what they were born.
“It’s time for Democrats to stop ceding it (masculinity) to the far right and offer their own compelling version.”
They always have Beta O’rourke.
This amused the hell out of me.

And Taibbi is up to his usual brilliant self…
However, here’s the real meat for me. He is quoting Miller speaking about The Crucible:
The only mistake is offending the powers that be. People can get very creative when it comes to sucking up.

Please don’t give the RNC any more candidate ideas.
Hell, that should be a post!
Huh. This is my first foray into the genre.
Rule 34
I will pass on that.
This seems kind of important. Maybe intentional, maybe not. Maybe the start of WWIII, maybe not.
Upon pondering this for a minute, I think the attention is meant to scuttle any talk of negotiations regardless of how or why it happened.
Killing two innocent farmers in the hinterlands is what the US would call a very slow day in the Middle East/Central Asia/Somalia.
Let’s ask the Yemenis.
Russia intentionally bombed a militarily useless target because nobody would believe they’d do something so stupid.
Or
Russia accidentally bombed Poland and will say Ukraine did it as a false flag.
Or
Ukraine did it to try to get the West even more deeply involved in the conflict.
Or
A rogue band of Ukrainian forces did it to drag the West in more deeply.
Or
The CIA or some other Western intelligence agency did it.
Or
The ghost of Kiev
Or
IDGAF because the lies on both sides have been so egregious and the motives of all these bastards are driving us towards WW3.
I am of a mind that the explosive was not intentionally dropped on a useless target in poland. It went off course and whoever initially fired it did not intend to bomb a farm field. It doesn’t matter who’s shot missed, everyone will blame everyone else.
The still haven’t conclusively figured out who shot down that commercial airliner over Ukraine years ago, so I can’t imagine you’re wrong.
I believe it was an intentional act to drag more actors into the war.
“And what happened, then? Well, at Glibertarians they say – that R.J.’s tinfoil hat grew three sizes that day.”

What is the point of this, I often defend remakes and think that the whole ‘Hollywood has ran out of ideas’ is a lame argument, but Jebus this does nothing that the original didn’t do. I understand wanting to pay tribute to your heroes but a bad karaoke performance ain’t it. Now this is a quality remake, it gives new life to a song many people never heard of and even those that did will appreciate the new take on the old song. /Rant
