Finally.
Well, the WC final is now set after France dispatched of Morocco in what was a fun game of soccer. Shouldn’t he have made it “The Gr88 Chase?” Or would he have gotten accused of being a Hitler fan? He is Russian, after all. Dan Snyder is a dead man walking as an NFL owner. UCLA is pretty much officially headed to the Big Ten. And that’s pretty much it for sports as we wait for bowl season and NFL games each weekend.
Good lord, give it a freaking rest. This Chicken Little-ing of everything is going to backfire on you dumbasses. Please stop.
Can this man not just get a hot meal? Is that asking too much?
I wonder how many congress critters shorted the market early yesterday. My guess: a lot of them did.
What really happened?
Uh-huh. Sure he did. Just show us the security footage and police body cams, ok?
Wow, this guy must be a lot older than he looks. You know, since it ended 160 years ago.
Nah, it was just a happy coincidence. And that man behind the curtain? He’s not up to anything. Just ignore him.
Live look at Chicago residents.
“You see, people are like mushrooms,” the mayor said. “They should be kept in the dark and fed bullshit,” she continued (paraphrased for context).
This raises some real ethical as well as private property rights questions. Will landlords be able to continue the policies on their own? I have no idea how the cities could have required landlords to bring prospective tenant names to the police, which seems like an invasion of privacy. But now that that’s gone, will tenants be able to vet potential renters on their own? It’s a curious and retarded policy that should have never existed, but I’m curious what the fallout will be.
The problem isn’t really the cash component. The problem is that people are entitled to a speedy trial under the Sixth Amendment. And that right is being ignored by various state and federal courts.
Here’s a lovely song. There’s a debate over the intro, but I’m for it. And here’s another, albeit one with an unfortunate name. Methinks the singer could have used a history lesson before he decided to call it that. But I’ll give him a pass because it’s a solid tune. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely, yet chilly, Thursday.

Democrat Jake Auchincloss of Massachusetts asked Ray: “Do we have your commitment that . . . if you find any evidence of improper collusion between Mr. Bankman-Fried and any authorities, in the Bahamas and elsewhere, you make that known to us?”
“Absolutely,” said Ray, but honestly, how will he ever know? He has his hands full looking at the financials, such as they are, of the company. Figuring out why the arrest was timed to suit SBF’s defense counsel is not in his remit.
Pinkie swear.
From the dead thread.

I like it.
Pfffft. It’s been 30 years since my first grade teacher told me the rainforest was going to be obliterated by strip mining and greedy logging companies, and everyone my age and under is still hysterically panicked about global warming predictions from 2004. This shit will never end.
Did you tell her that logging companies plant as many or more trees than they cut? And that most economically viable trees are not from the rainforest?
Also, most land doesn’t have worthwhile mineral deposits for mining.
My comprehension of the issues at 6 years of age was not what it is today, but after we were shown grainy, scary, black-and-white footage of decimated forests that looked like Hiroshima after the bomb – which I would later learn was decades-old footage of clear cutting in North America and had nothing at all to do with rainforests – I was the only kid in class to raise my hand and ask “Can’t they just plant more trees?” Ms. Barker assured me that you can’t replant trees in the rainforest because the sacred and ancient ecology is destroyed.
So how did she think the rainforest got there in the first place?
The tears of Gaia over how the Europeans were treating Germany or something probably.
Well, it was a Christian school, so presuming she was a literalist I’d have probably been told that God made it that way and humans fucked it up, just like everything else.
The fall of the Iron Curtain should’ve taught all the environmentalists a huge lesson, it didn’t. Because for them this is religion.
“HOOMON BAD!”
There is nobility in killing people to save Gaia in these fuckwad’s minds…
It will. It just that you won’t live to see it.
The panic quietly disappears while a new panic slides in its place.
Remember the Ozone Hole crisis in the 70s and 80s?
Don’t forget the acid rain!
Yup, that was my thought too… with the various “artistic depictions” that were closer to pH 1 (full on sulfuric acid) than the typical pH 4 (lightly acidic)… you know, people going out and their clothes dissolving, flesh melting off, etc. Nothing like a little disaster porn to push The Message.
Here in the Great Lakes region, we also had the great Zebra Mussel scare.
Those bastards are still clogging things up. They love the grates on the nuke plant coolant pipes (It’s the warm water coming out)
On the other hand, they turned out to be great little pollution sponges, and cleaned up the lakes.
Any filter feeder would have done the same.
Just don’t eat them afterwards.
The larvae get into the systems and then grow into adults inside the tubes in the condensers. So, power plants install online cleaning systems, chemical treatments where possible, and proactive cleaning regimens during scheduled outages. Still a problem, but a handled one.
UCS:
One advantage of the Zebra Mussels was that they had no predators in the Great Lakes, so you didn’t have to worry about animals up the food chain getting the pollutants in them. I mean, there are reasons no one wants to eat a Lake Erie carp.
Nobody wants to eat Carp, period.
You must not know many people from Asia. I used to live on a lake that had an out of control carp problem. I happened to be telling a fishing story in the local Chinese restaurant and when the owner heard that I would just throw the carp away, he offered me money to bring them to him (live if possible). I pointed out these things weighed over 10lb usually which made him even more excited. When I pointed out his crappy aquarium would not hold the carp, he told me that they planned to cook and eat it. They just want it alive before they start that process cause it makes the taste better. I didn’t need the money but getting to eat free there made it worth it the over 2 dozen carps I brought em.
I got to taste it BTW, and it tasted like ass.
The Hmong in St.Paul would like a word with you.
Our Asians are from India.
Nobody wants to eat carp, but Tilapia is on the menu at every seafood restaurant…
Acid rain in the Eastern Bloc was real thing. It would strip the bark right off the trees.
But that’s because they were burning massive amounts of soft coal. Kind of like what they’re doing in Germany now that they’ve blown up Nordstream.
I got assigned acid rain as the topic of my science presentation in I think 4th grade. Undoubtedly reflective of the environment in which our teacher was inculcated, as I could barely even find anything on the topic in the library at the time.
You see, teachers are there to teach you how to be an outraged activist.
Because they’re so well informed on the topics.
So, I actually was one of those annoying little kids (no, really!) that did long-term studies as part of a multi-year Science Fair project.
On acid rain.
Yes, it was a real thing.
Fun fact, the most common composition of acid rain (sulfuric/nitric) resulted in increased plant growth up to a point because of the fertilizing effects of nitrate. Now since I only grew the pants for a few years, there wouldn’t have been any detrimental effects of long-term increased nutrient leaching but for the first couple of years it was really good for alfalfa and beans.
Alfalfa and beans fix nitrogen.
Oh they’re not done with the ozone hole yet. They’re making plans to come for your refrigerator and it’s Gaia-killing HFCs.
There definitely seems to be an ongoing scam to force refrigerant rotations every three years or so. Sell more “modern” appliances, jump up maintenance fees if people stick to the old stuff… Win, win!
It’s DuPont or whatever they go by now. They “discovered” the ozone hole right when the patent for auto R12 freon was expiring. Fortunately/coincidentally they had a solution- R134, complete with a shiny new patent. The R-134 phaseout, again coincidentally right when the R134 patent is expiring, is based on R-134 being 100 times worse than CO2 for global warming.
To be fair, there’s no reason to be using High Fructose Corn Syrup as a refrigerant.
Sweet….
Hopefully you don’t get any leaks after switching to butane.
They’re pushing propane right now.
Fun things about propane are that it is heavier than air and it becomes ignitable at 10% concentration.
We need to go back to anhydrous ammonia so that consumers can rediscover the glory days of having their mucous membranes burned out when the refrigerator leaks.
Nope, you can use that to make meth.
Well, that just injures people, which the Malthusians hate, so….
This meant evictions of entire families for conduct involving one tenant or even guests or estranged family members.
Next do asset forfeiture.
THAT’S DIFFERENT!!1!!!!!111111111!!!
Way different. The Popo get to stick their beaks into asset forfeits and a property owner retains their rights in the other.
“There is no evidence that basing a person’s freedom on their ability to pay would make us safer,” Rynders said. “So when we try to reform a system, so that bail decisions are made according to the law, it allows the decisions to be based on safety and not on this arbitrary factor of a person’s wealth.”
Bail is supposed to be about making sure someone shows up for trial.
“Safety” implies the person arrested is guilty. The legal system is supposed to assume innocence until guilt is proven.
But… we live in clown world.
Though I agree about speedy trials.
bail = risk of flight * severity of charge
Your clients weren’t jailed for being poor, they were jailed for committing felonies. If you can’t make your case honestly then fuck off and die.
I read that as the condition of being in jail so in a neutral context.
Exactly. This idiotic argument that holding criminals that can’t afford bail is idiotic. If the concern is government abuse of this power against innocent people, put in the ability for someone they knew was innocent to recover big damages from them (with people suing falsely being held financially and maybe even criminally accountable to prevent abuse).
I have very little regard for criminals that do things that hurt others physically or financially. Poor or rich. Get rid of the idiotic war on drugs while we are at it. People that want to do drugs until they end homeless or dead should be allowed to do that.
Wrong. They’re being jailed for being *suspected* of committing felonies. People are being forced to do serious jail time without ever being convicted. In some cases, the charges are later dropped, so the person served a substantial jail term for nothing at all.
Meanwhile, the personal savings rate fell to 2.3% last month, the lowest rate in nearly two decades, according to data from the Commerce Department.
Makes sense. Why bother to stash away funds when their value will just be inflated away?
You’d almost think the entire point of 2 decades of loose monetary policy was intended to stimulate consumption and punish savings or something.
Certainly the 0% interest rate even when inflation was down to 2-3% gives that impression. You were pretty much actively punished by not being a Good Consumer ™ or Investing In The Market (preferably in big mutual funds so they could redirect your money.
Not that I’m by any means proper with finances, I know… but if even a dummy like *me* can see it and all…
It was a real eye opener to me when I went back to the savings account I had been made to open as a kid (if memory serves, at a 5.75% savings account rate).
I was getting 4% on ordinary savings when I opened my first grown-up bank account 18 years ago. In less than 3 years that dropped in stages to 0.25%, whereupon I closed the account because it wasn’t worth maintaining the minimum balance for 8 cents a year in interest.
The manipulation of the interest rates by government so they could avid having to service the massive debt with practically all the collected taxes is criminal. But what is worse is that the fucks that want to tax everyone to death, knowing they would be kicked in the ass for that, chose to give us out of control inflation which is basically an unavoidable tax on all your money.
Not to mention rises in wages / salaries are always going to lag. So it would be harder to have any slack in the budget, and folks who were barely saving would not be and all.
Company I work for just had a town hall meeting yesterday, and quite a few questions were about wages, inflation, and (in some areas) losing workers to competitors who were paying more. I don’t think the presenters were expecting that line of inquiry.
Exactly! Wife and I are back to looking at houses and stopped caring if we spend most of our savings (other than IRA 401k). It won’t be worth much soon and at least we’ll have a roof over our heads.
Come and get it.
No, sir, you did not. So you can piss right off.
In a state that never allowed slavery. The Chinese have a better claim to reparations. Not that anybody owes them or is owed them.
The slave owners owe you. Go get it from them.
It’s only ‘fair’ that people who never owned slaves be forced to pay people who never were slaves based solely on their respective skin color. Because reasons.
Can they deduct passage from Africa and room and board?
I may as well try to sue some English lord for the work my ancestors were required to do for his ancestors as peasants.

” every person should get $350,000 in compensation to close the racial wealth gap and Black-owned businesses should receive $250,000, which would help them to flourish.”
I predict a flourishing market in giving seminars on how to start a Black-owned business.
Why is the racial wealth gap something I should care about?
Because otherwise you are an irredeemable racist.
Especially according to the middlemen in that racket that hope to make a pretty penny stealing from you to supposedly give a small chunk of that to someone else.
Yeah, but I’m already an irredeemable racist, what with the whole ‘being white’ thing. Will the wealthy white progs be my friends if I start pretending to care about their hobby horse?
Sir, you do not work so it is impossible for you to be owed for something you did not do.
There’s a nonzero chance he has already collected that much through various government assistance programs.

“‘we worked for free’ during slavery – at public hearing of California reparations committee”
Uh, wasnt California a “free state” ?
…guess I coulda read some of the comments
What, and break with tradition around here? 😉
Yes, but Southern California had Confederate sympathies.
Alleged Pelosi attacker also planned to go after Hunter Biden, Tom Hanks and Gavin Newsom
Then he was going to kidnap Gretchen Witmer.
Hell, throw in Jodie Foster again while you’re at it. Why not…
Well what do his FBI handlers have to say?
STOP RESISTING! most likely.
I watched this last night.
Very good. Will watch more episodes.
The best part- an honest recognition of the strength of American capitalism. Also, some good digs about FDR and the New Deal.
Thanks for the link, as a manufacturing engineer and WWII history buff I found it very interesting.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing. Like Necron, manufacturing and WWII are two of my kinks. Here is the full playlist for those interested.
Thanks. I’ll queue the series up for later viewing.
The rise of “Cultural Socialism”? A review of two reports
https://iea.org.uk/the-rise-of-cultural-socialism-a-review-of-two-reports/
Cultural Leftists are people who believe “that minorities must be protected from psychological harm arising from forms of dominant culture, and that a radical transformation of science, institutions, narratives and culture can redistribute power from dominant to subaltern groups.”
Cultural Liberals, on the other hand, “prioritise freedom of expression, equal treatment without regard to identity, the scientific method, freedom of conscience and the primacy of classical liberal traditions of law.”
And finally, Cultural Conservatives are people who “prioritise the defense of national, ethnic and religious traditions. The dominant form of cultural conservatism in Britain is cultural patriotism.”
Classical liberalism contained within it the seeds of what they’re describing as cultural leftism. What was the Enlightenment if not a “radical transformation of science, institutions, narratives and culture [to] redistribute power from dominant to subaltern groups?” I contend that the fathers of the American and French revolutions – the crowning achievements of the Enlightenment – would be on the radical fringes of the modern left if their lifespans had lasted from then until now.
Well, Paine would have been.
Not so sure about Patrick Henry though.
I do not think the Enlightenment had such a broad goad as modern left, radical change to all institutions/narratives etc… Just some religion dominated ones.
Look at in historical context. The “religion dominated” institutions/narratives were substantially the only ones in existence.
The radical left might produce whatever world salad they throw our way, replete with what they think are noble sounding bullshit, to appeal to people to cheer them on, but the end goal is to return to feudalism after the new hereditary credentialed technocratic aristocracy offs between 5 and 7 billion people.
I think one difference is that the Enlightenment did not begin with the intent of redistributing power.
There was a radical transformation, and one of its effects was redistribution of power. But I doubt that it began with specific purpose in mind.
It certainly did not make everything else subordinate to that goal.
It may not have begun with that intent, but it certainly adopted it to the point where it became pretty central to liberal philosophy. Without having demolished the foundations of religious authority and monarchy, there’d be little for historians to write about the Enlightenment.
And that has some interesting consequences that Bloom explores in The Closing of the American Mind. He makes a case for Rousseau and Nietschze’s critiques.
One interesting twist is how the Enlightenment and rationalism lead to the progressive case for rule by experts. It is a logical consequence.
Fennell added: ‘It’s a debt that’s owed, we worked for free,’ he said. ‘We’re not asking; we’re telling you.’
I believe room and board was provided. But you never worked for free and you were never a slave. So stfu and learn some history and context*.
*Slavery was the rule, not the exception, for everyone all over the planet through all of human history.
The fallout will be that landlords will be able to vet tenants, but the fact of doing so will be used against disfavored landlords and ignored for well-connected, politically correct landlords.

A good editorial about China’s COVID Zero. It mentions exactly the same things I’ve discussed with coworkers here with family back in China.
The People Stand Up Against the Chinese Communist Party
Fauci has a hard-on for this.
Fauci gets asexually aroused from his image talking stupid totalitarian nonsense in the mirror. What kind of “sexual” category is that? Fuckmyselfism?
If it strengthens the party even a bit it is worth it
Monstrous.
The CCP sure is playing with fire. I shudder to think of the carnage that’s coming.
I’m hoping the Chinese throw off the CCP and rediscover their history and culture.
Their history is having a boot on their necks by one entity or another….
and bloody rebellions against it.
There’s a cycle.
Or their boot on someone else’s neck.

Police help save officer in fentanyl overdose during traffic stop
https://www.kktv.com/2022/12/15/graphic-police-help-save-officer-fentanyl-overdose-during-traffic-stop/
Courtney Sullivan, with Tavares police, said the incident happened on Monday night with officer Courtney Bannick found drugs on a passenger during a traffic stop.
“She just barely opened it, saw that it was narcotics and closed it quickly,” Sullivan said.
Tavares police said Bannick is at home recovering. The officer said she believes the wind contributed to her overdose.
I have difficulty believing wind blew fentanyl which caused an overdose
I report I saw said she had gotten it on her hands.
According to Sullivan, Bannick was wearing gloves. – seems not
However, I do have no difficulty believing that workers’ compensation claim and short term disability claim will quickly be forthcoming.
This is not how drugs work. What she actually had was a panic attack. I’ll give fair odds on whether it was a real panic attack because she’s a neurotic weakling, or a fake panic attack because she wanted a few days off with pay…
Now if she’d gotten some on her fingers and mistook it for leftover doughnut sugar, I’d believe she could have ingested enough to get in trouble.
Also to charge the stopped person with some extra felonies I would assume
Yep, complete bullshit.
But it feeds The Narrative so nobody will question it.
Fentanyl is magical. If so much as a granule of it falls onto the fair skin of the king’s men they are at death’s door within seconds, and yet the toothless junkies they bust for it are unaffected.
They’ve all built up an immunity to iocane powder.
So the takeaway is that if you’re on the run from the police, just pull out a bag of fentanyl and toss it in their direction and down they go.
“Courtney Sullivan, with Tavares police, said the incident happened on Monday night with officer Courtney Bannick found drugs on a passenger during a traffic stop.”
Well, maybe stop doing that.
To be fair, the soviets (Russians?) managed to kill quite a few people playing with airborne fentanyl.
There are one too many Courtneys in this story.

Cornered rat
Outgoing White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci said Wednesday that he “doesn’t have a clue” what Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hopes to accomplish by calling for a state grand jury investigation into alleged “crimes” related to COVID-19 vaccines.
“I don’t have a clue … what he’s asking for. I mean, we have a vaccine that, unequivocally, is highly effective and safe and has saved literally millions of lives,” Fauci, who is also the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), told CNN’s Kate Bolduc.
DeSantis on Tuesday announced his office had petitioned for a grand jury investigation into alleged “crimes and wrongdoing” against Floridians “related to the development, promotion and distribution” of the COVID-19 vaccines.
The governor also shared plans to establish Public Health Integrity Committee due to distrust of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), saying “anything they put out, you just assume, at this point, that it’s not worth the paper that it’s printed on.”
Fauci on CNN cited recently released research by the Commonwealth Fund, which found that COVID-19 vaccines from biotech companies Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson collectively saved over 3.2 million American lives and averted more than 18.5 million hospitalizations in two years of the pandemic.
I hope they washed those numbers off after they pulled them out of their asses.
a vaccine that, unequivocally, is highly effective and safe
He asserted, in the face of ample contradictory evidence.
People keep hoping that the opposition will admit their crimes.
It’s not going to happen. They will have to be hounded to the ends of the earth.
Even when indisputable proof is delivered they will continue to proclaim their innocens and to say that the thing worked fine.
“Oregon 6th graders are handed woke government survey with TWELVE gender and sexuality options – including ‘two spirited’, ‘demiboy’ and ‘demigirl’ and ‘agender'”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11539917/Oregon-6th-graders-handed-woke-government-survey-TWELVE-gender-sexuality-options.html

If they don’t get a butplug as a souvenir with the survey what is even the point
And an adult man dressed like a woman eager to show them how to properly use the plugs too. Don’t forget that’s part of the kink being peddled.
Buttplugs don’t have a point. That would be dangerous.
Because getting an idea of what sixth graders want to fuck helps you teach them.
Oh you know they have to find the oppression score to grant extra credit to offset not being the vilified category.
I choose to believe that they just want to know what the sixth graders want to fuck.
Meh, they don’t care what the 6th graders want to fuck. They want to make the 6th graders horny and willing to let THEM fuck the 6th graders…
What about deerkin, elfsexual, and genderfuck?
“It has been politicized and it has been politicized in a way that has actually cost lives,” Fauci added of the vaccine, calling the COVID-19 virus the “common enemy” that Americans should unite around regardless of party, and in spite of mis- and disinformation.
“We’re all in this together. We’re all human beings and we’re all susceptible to disease that can kill us. … When people’s lives are being lost about this, maybe that’ll shake people up enough to realize that we’ve got to start pulling together and not against each other,” Fauci said.
You should be on your hands and knees kissing my feet
“It has been politicized and it has been politicized in a way that has actually cost lives,”
Well, that’s true, just not in the way that he means.

Nah, that would be weird, he just wants to watch his wife screw her sister’s husband.
With the stuff being pushed these days, I wouldn’t put anything past one of these rags.
I don’t get it I really don’t. It is absolutely natural to want to fuck the younger sister. But the cuck thing? Why
How likely is this wall of cuck him kinda saying he wants the brother-in-law to fuck him?
You post these cuck links often.

Budweiser Budvar’s head brewer, Adam Brož, says the popular Czech lager will never be brewed outside of its hometown.
“There is no way we could brew elsewhere in the world and still be considered authentically Czech,” says Mr Brož who is only the 10th person to be in charge of brewing at Budvar since it launched 127 years ago.
But unless you are a beer snob, does this blurred provenance actually matter?
Fuck yea. Czech brand Staropramen brewed in Romania is not as good as the original
Well, it depends on where the alternate location is.
With modern chemistry, not really. Quite a few breweries use reverse osmosis water to purify it, and then add in the salts and minerals they want for a specific beer profile. Even some home brewers are going that route. I was happy making good beer with my tap water.
How much did that reverse osmosis system cost before you abandoned it?
I never used one. Several of the people in the forums would purchase it by the gallon from local grocery stores and the like (one thing every homebrewer has is buckets and carboys a plenty). From memory, most were usually talking about $1-$2 a gallon for the water, which in a 5 gallon batch may add $10 to the batch price (there’s loss and boil off that needs to be accounted for). So a little more then a fresh batch of liquid yeast.
Or what Neph said.
Staropramen’s dark lager is delicious.
As for where a beer is brewed, depends on the beer. Some don’t travel or age well. Those are best to get close to the source.
PETER HITCHENS: Britain is slowly turning into a version of the mad old East Germany, with equality and diversity the new Marxism… even worse, it’s happening under the Tories

good thing in the US the Republicans are true Conservatives
There are no conservatives in office.
Sure there are. The term is inherently relative. You can only be conservative or liberal relative to some standard. Republicans are conservative relative to whatever Democrats were doing 10 years ago, and Democrats are liberal relative to whatever Democrats were doing 10 minutes ago.
Relatvism is a load of horseshit.
I agree. But, while I was being a wiseass, those terms are, if not “relative”, then certainly “comparative”. In and of themselves they mean nothing in particular. You can see that even in the divergent definitions of modern American vs. European “conservatism” and “liberalism”.
We’re already there, so I suspect Britain is way past us.

I can’t decide if SBF is gonna be Epsteined or just kept under wraps until the chaos dies down. Probably the former. I can’t say I care much either way.
Not listening to traditional radio has a lot of positives. Particularly that songs like Maggie May are a nice change and not an eye roll. And I kind of like the intro. Thanks!
Ovi has been great to watch. It is fun seeing these records being broken. Unfortunately I went to be before he scored his 800th while playing against my team. But the Chicago fans were good to him.

I watched some show about Heineken, a long time ago, and the thing which stuck with me was the part about how much time and money and effort they spend on the water they use.
Sounds like a lot of work to turn out a product that’s consistently skunked.
Blame the green bottles, you can get it in cans or on tap that will not be “light struck” (proper term for skunked beer).
It is still a bad beer. I have had it on tap, 2 blocks from the brewery, and it was mediocre at best.
Dutch beer is awful.
Does it still have a slightly sulpherous taste or is that the skunk? I love Peroni out of the green bottle and I’ve never run into that.
Note. At no point did I say it was good, just that cans or taps will avoid the light struck flavor. Heineken has branched out and purchased several breweries, the one most well known is probably Lagunitas.
You had the wrong Dutch beer.
The point being it tastes “skunked” straight off the bottling line, no matter what vessel it’s stored in.
The Real Reason You Can’t Buy Dasani Water In The UK
Coca Cola had the idea that you take the purified water you use for your various sodas and add back an appropriate amount of minerals so that it tastes like proper tap or mineral water and distribute it with the rest of your beverages. Good idea until you completely screw up the execution.
This has been a thing for a long time, going all the way back to when breweries realized that different locations could make better tasting beer (with the same recipe). One of the first mineral additions that was released (that I’m aware of) is Burton salts.
Houston/Harris County – I never pay speeding tickets outright, I fight every damned one. When I lived in Houston, it was easy/possible to drag the procedure out over a year due to lackadaisical scheduling by the courts. This was a benefit if one was on probation and needes to resolve something outside the probation window, but yeah, no such thing as a speedy trial in Houston. Also, had a lawyer tell me to specifically request a speedy trial in plea requests – that way when they ignored it, you had an out on appeal.

“They” can still call you faggots. You haven’t quite succeeded at abolishing the first amendment just yet. That’s not the reason they call you groomers and pedophiles. The reason they call you groomers and pedophiles is because of your obsession with sharing your sexual proclivities with prepubescent schoolchildren, not because you like cock.
What color are these assholes going to appropriate for themselves when they force their way onto the flag that represents the community they’ve also appropriated?
No, we are calling you groomers and pedos because of the things you do that make it obvious you are trying to normalize pedophilia. If you were straight and doing this we would still call you a fucking pedo/groomer, BTW.
Just replace “drag” with “burlesque” and all this goes away.
There is quite a bit of overlap there. Except I think most places still require 21+ fro burlesque shows. Big one at Viva (NSFW) last year had a drag queen and John Waters co-hosting.
Libertarian paradise?
Context matters when we say it does
In fact, what the “Twitter Files” reveal is what we already knew about social media governance from the “Facebook Files”: Social media corporations spend a large amount of time and resources discussing how to bend the rules so that politicians and celebrity influencers don’t get suspended. To pretend that the “Twitter Files” illustrates internal political bias on behalf of the old regime is to ignore the reality that Musk’s new regime is much more politically motivated.
Ultimately, both social media releases are attempts at shaping the mainstream media narratives about the purpose and practice of content moderation on massively large open platforms. But while the “Facebook Files” took months to contextualize and fact-check, Musk is baiting mainstream media companies to cover a manufactured scandal about something that happened years ago and it is still not yielding returns. So far, the media largely isn’t taking the bait, showing that news coverage doesn’t just happen simply because a billionaire tries to engineer it. Silence is still the editor’s best kept weapon in the content wars.
It doesn’t exist if the legit media ignore it.
But that thing at the Capitol was a total slaughterhouse. The Capitol Police force was decimated.

That’s because you are dragging kids into it.
Nobody cared about it until it got tacked on to “transgender rights” and pushed it in schools. In fact they even had drag shows in my little conservative town, and nobody had a problem with it.
Absolutely. Have drag shows all you want. Do not invite minors to it though. Especially if you are in a bar.
Shit. There were several of us on a bar crawl Saturday that were irritated that one location had rented half their space to a private party that brought kids. So instead of lumbering around not caring, we had to look below waist level to avoid knocking over some little kid (the parents at least realized pretty quickly that they should keep their kids on the private party side of the area).

SLD, but allowing masked open carry sounds like a bad idea.
They have the right to wear a mask, and the right to carry a gun. So do counter protesters. This whole “protecting drag shows” schtick is getting tiresome. It’s more about promotion than protection.
It’s about destabilization.
They (Antifa) want the social strife.
True. Many of them should already have been arrested and left in jail for terroristic threats and actual violence. I have bit yet researched if the ANTIFA here are people who fled the west coast or if they are native to Texas. That is relevant to how such people stay out of jail.
Masking in public is a symptom of a sick society. The “open carry” thing is meaningless.. they could just as easily be armed with concealed handguns.
People living in healthy societies don’t wear masks in public. That especially includes police officers. I’m not saying it should be illegal, but it’s not a good development.
It’s more about promotion than protection.
Maybe, but that’s still useful to these groups. Consider that one of the greatest factors in winning a violent fight is being prepared to commit violence or having done it before. I think Solzhenitsyn remarked upon this when talking about the average citizen just not being psychologically prepared to violently resist arrest. Most everyone in developed nations have lost that edge over the past hundred, couple hundreds years. A lot of the LARPing we see is just the psyching teams up that gradually pushes everyone closer to that edge. I think the psychological prep has been the main point of Antifa’s riots.
“The “open carry” thing is meaningless.. they could just as easily be armed with concealed handguns.”
There is a big difference between rifles and handguns, and between concealed carry and political brandishing.
The Black Panthers open carried long guns, but they also showed who they were. That’s a huge difference.
The Black Panthers open carried long guns, but they also showed who they were. That’s a huge difference.
That’s my point. The issue is the wearing of face masks by pseudo paramilitary organizations (whether actual or wannabe LEOs, actual militia groups, LARPer groups, etc), not the having of firearms.
Asia would beg to differ.
In pre COVID Japan masks are worn in spring for pollen reduction and by people that are sick. Regardless of efficacy the idea was that if you were sick you were less likely to infect others if masked. It’s actually courteous. It’s also voluntary.
However, for the US where no such custom existed (excluding the Asian immigrants here) I agree it is not a healthy sign.
I don’t think the medical masking in Asia, combined with the extreme deference to authority and homogenous groupthink, is a sign of healthy society either. But that’s a whole different topic. I should have clarified, but I’m specifically talking about ski masks worn for the intention of remaining anonymous and not medical masks.
The countries that come to mind as a parallel are more like Mexico, Columbia, Nicaragua, etc.
At least masks can be removed, unlike visible tattoos and other bodily mutilations.
“They have the right to wear a mask, and the right to carry a gun.”
IDK, being both armed and anonymous seems contrary to peaceable assembly.
Kidfuckers protecting kidfuckers and the parents who enable them who really ought to know better.
As an internet researcher, it is my job to monitor, measure and analyze trends in technology. I listened to several Twitter Spaces involving Musk and he is reveling in the attention from conservative media, even as he is chagrined at the lack of mainstream media uptake.
If the “Facebook Files” were about the public interest, the “Twitter Files” are all about public relations. Like the brand management of Tesla, Musk is building a sycophantic legion of true believers bent on believing the platform can influence elections and change the culture (which all could very well be true in a limited way). As we watch leading journalists and researchers, like Jelani Cobb of the New Yorker and Kate Starbird of the University of Washington, leave the platform, I can’t help but think that everyday Musk is in charge, Twitter is being drained of the very thing that made it influential and informative in the first place. That exodus may be the one thing the “Twitter Files” are accomplishing.
tl;dr-

“California school board head resigns after inviting minors to booze-infused gay adult party featuring ‘Dirty Santa’
“Mr. Llanusa invited the high school choir group into his private adult party in his home,” parent Sabrina Ho said, saying further that students were “offered alcohol by party guests among inappropriately dressed adult entertainers….
In social media posts, Llanusa is seen posing with various high-profile Democrats, including Vice President Kamala Harris and Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Llanusa was also seen posting in December of 2020 about a Drag Queen Bingo event, held by the UCLA Lambda Alumni Association, and in June of 2020 posting about attending the “All Black Lives Matter march” in West Hollywood.”

You see, the issue is that people who are attracted to children seek out professions which give them easy access to children, so the number of them in education is higher than the proportion in the general population.
Fingers were pointed
Survivors of the Club Q mass shooting directly tied Republicans’ rhetoric to the massacre at the Colorado LGBTQ nightclub and detailed their experiences on the night of the shooting, in prepared testimony read before the House Oversight and Reform committee Wednesday.
“To the politicians and activists who accuse LGBTQ people of grooming children and being abusers: shame on you,” said Michael Anderson, who survived the shooting. “As leaders of our country, it is your obligation to represent all of us, not just the ones you happen to agree with. Hate speech turns into hate action, and actions based on hate almost took my life from me, at 25 years old.”
Survivor James Slaugh gave emotional testimony, describing getting shot and watching his loved ones bleed. He also placed direct blame on lawmakers’ hateful rhetoric, saying it was “the direct cause” of the Club Q massacre. He also warned of the damage caused by hateful rhetoric that does not explicitly call for violence, including rhetoric on which bathrooms LGBTQ people can use and whether they can join certain sports teams.
Congress is nothing more than a venue for an endless succession of Two Minutes’Hate events.
If you call them out on their reprehensible behavior and their advocacy for said behavior you’re guilty of stochastic terrorism.
“Ransacking”.
Dozens of civil rights and government watchdog groups have signed letters urging Schumer and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to pass the law this year.
The bill is one of the most substantial legislative reactions to the ransacking of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Citing ambiguities in the Electoral Count Act of 1887, some of Trump’s backers argued that objections to the electoral vote count that day would have allowed Vice President Mike Pence to set aside some states’ results. Trump seized on those theories, urging backers to rally in Washington the morning of the count. They then stormed the Capitol.
The legislation would clarify that the vice president’s role in counting electoral votes is purely ceremonial, and that he does not have the discretion to set aside any state’s properly certified votes. It would also raise the threshold to hear objections to a state’s electors from just one member in each chamber to 20 percent of Congress.
What we clearly need is fewer checks on the federal government.
The legislation would clarify that the vice president’s role in counting electoral votes is purely ceremonial, and that he does not have the discretion to set aside any state’s properly certified votes.
Isn’t that the case now? What we need is an effective method of identifying and resolving questions of votes’ (and voters’) legitimacy.

Could JK Rowling’s latest venture be the final nail in the coffin for her reputation?
https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/jk-rowling-trans-sexual-abuse-victims-women-b2244829.html
I think Rowling’s latest venture more or less solidifies her heel turn: Beira’s Place, a women-only service for victims of sexual abuse that will be located in Edinburgh. The service is described as being “set up by women, for women”. Its website reads: “There are a number of services in Lothian, and indeed across Scotland, that provide support to male survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. However, there are few, if any, that are strictly women only.”
Early reports had indicated that the service may still be open to trans people despite suggestions to the contrary, but that no longer seems to be the case.

Maloney told the survivors that “Their testimony will serve as a tremendous public service for their community and for our nation. Thank you. Let us honor them by recommitting to the bold action necessary to ensure that every person in the United States can experience to live authentically and safely regardless of who they love or how they identify.”

The House passed a bill Wednesday that would remove from public display at the U.S. Capitol a statue of Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Taney, who wrote the 1857 Dred Scott decision, which defended slavery and denied the citizenship of Black Americans.
The legislation, which the House passed by voice vote, declares that Taney’s authorship of the decision “renders a bust of his likeness unsuitable for the honor of display to the many visitors to the Capitol.”
“While the removal of Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney’s bust from the Capitol does not relieve the Congress of the historical wrongs it committed to protect the institution of slavery, it expresses Congress’s recognition of one of the most notorious wrongs to have ever taken place in one of its 19 rooms,” the bill states.
Maybe they’ll replace him with a bust of Clarence Thomas.
Surely, you jest.

If you passed on getting the COVID vaccine, you might be a lot more likely to get into a car crash.
Or at least those are the findings of a new study published this month in The American Journal of Medicine. During the summer of 2021, Canadian researchers examined the encrypted government-held records of more than 11 million adults, 16% of whom hadn’t received the COVID vaccine.
They found that the unvaccinated people were 72% more likely to be involved in a severe traffic crash—in which at least one person was transported to the hospital—than those who were vaccinated. That’s similar to the increased risk of car crashes for people with sleep apnea, though only about half that of people who abuse alcohol, researchers found.
The excess risk of car crash posed by unvaccinated drivers “exceeds the safety gains from modern automobile engineering advances and also imposes risks on other road users,” the authors wrote. …
The findings are significant enough that primary care doctors should consider counseling unvaccinated patients on traffic safety—and insurance companies might base changes to insurance policies on vaccination data, the authors suggest.
First responders may also consider taking precautions to protect themselves from COVID when responding to traffic crashes, the authors added, as it’s more likely that a driver is unvaccinated than vaccinated.
The unclean made their choice. Leave them to die.
I wonder if they took into account that vaxxed people were far more likely to still be hiding indoors and severely limiting their travel.
I don’t really care enough to read the article; it just seems obvious that some prior variable is causing both.
Ridiculous! The obvious conclusion is that the vaccine prevents car accidents! Why do you hate science?
Is it because the Covidians were hiding in the homes instead of driving around?
Hmmm.
Could it be because they live in more remote areas and therefore drive more?
