It’s been a hell of a week.
It’s been a week full of shenanigans. Something tells me next week won’t be much different.
Links?
Uh oh. Pooty Poot let his monster get away.
And the monster responded favorably to a cookie.
In the “where are they now” category.
It’s like you don’t even need the article.
The intersectionality of nuclear war.
Okay, it’s another gloious day here in Manly Time. I’m off to enjoy it.
This listener request goes out to the Wagner Group.
You’ve gotta be careful when you let folks have a private army.
This is one of the reasons I don’t think anarchocapitalism is practicable, despite it being my personal preference as utopian schemes go.
David Friedman had the same problem. He recognized it and really didn’t come up with a good answer.
Guess who will be the first wave of suicide…er, assault troops from now on?

I’m not aware of Excel storing old revisions of data. Last I recall the “Undo” command wouldn’t work on a saved file. I’d love to no more about what they analyzed.
If that was an online version such as via sharepoint, you get version control. Also, if it were on a network share, most also provide version control. So, older versions of your excel sheets are not uncommon to dig up via user-friendly tools.
Good point. Thanks!
Article argues world must apply ‘queer theory’ to nuclear weapons policy
The writers argued that this perspective ‘prioritizes the rights and well-being of people over the abstract idea of national security’
Clown World
The word “queer” has officially completed its journey to meaninglessness.
I still employ it by way of the idiom “queer the pitch” or “queer the deal”
Do you do so gayly?
Fabulously, even.
So much this.
Commercial space travel shares plenty of similarities with deep sea tourism: wealthy customers, tight spaces, far-flung destinations and waivers that clearly warn people they’re risking death by embarking on unregulated vehicles.
Since killing your customers tends to have a deleterious effect on business, firms seem to have an incentive to not do that, “regulated vehicles” or not.
BTW, NASA has killed more astronauts than any space tourism company.
There is a reason my private pilot friends enjoy and have many good things to say about experimental airplanes. There is also a reason most commercial aircraft carrying paying passengers are certificated.
That said I don’t disagree with your points either.
Hey Mexican Sharpshooter- I posted a response to your catalytic converter woes on the ded-thread. Read it and follow it and you won’t be disappointed. The light may come on again, but probably after you’ve gotten your sticker.
Readiness monitors are a royal PITA. In my Jeep JK it took quite a few drive cycles to set enough of them to clear NJ inspection.
My wife’s Ford was much easier to set.
There’s a somewhat basic formula they all follow and once you figure it out, they get pretty easy. The half a tank of gas is central to that, too much or too little and it won’t test for Evap or catalyst. If it won’t test for catalyst, you won’t pass O2 sensors. I had one recently that hadn’t set the cat or O2 monitor in over 18k miles of his driving because he never went on the freeway. 8 minutes at 55mph fixed him up.
I’ll definitely keep the 1/2 tank criteria in mind. I knew that for evap, but didn’t know it it applied on the catalyst too.
That was money. Thanks, Doc!
Or you could move to Montana.
First this I did when we got here was to remove the stupid MA stickers.
Forget the first sentence – apart from no stickers MT pretty much sucks.
After Alaska, western Montana (or northern Idaho) would be my get-outta-Dodge state.
Just doing my bit to keep people away.
All Glibs are welcome, of course.
How’d Heidi Fleiss end up behind bars for longer on tax evasion than pandering charges? I read in a recent unrelated case that tax evasion usually receives no time. Throw a weapon in and they usually just drop that charge as well as long as you pinky swear to not do it again.
Because she’s not Hunter Biden.
Meanwhile as I surf local new here in NJ
N.J. restaurant owner admits pocketing $500K he collected in sales tax
A 75 year old guy is facing three years for skimming at his restaurant over 7 years.
That’s a lot of loot. I’m untroubled by him being prosecuted.
Me neither.
Just noting it involves less money than Hunter with no firearm issues and is much more severe.
BTW, her house is in Pahrump.
We used to see her macaws flying out and about sometimes.
It would appear Putin hightailed it out of Moscow too.
Putin’s plane reportedly departs from Moscow to Valdai, disappears from radars – media
Hiya Spud!
I was in the mountains today and for a blessed few hours didn’t think about Clown World.
But, now that I’m back:
Spike Cohen with a novel pitch.
Nah, too unbelievable.
Huh. She was considering leaving Pahrump as of last year after somebody shot one of her birds, with another one having been stolen.
I’m not surprised one was stolen. She let them freely fly around town.
I doubt she will leave for Missouri.
Yeah, I think I remember reading another article some time back where she was cited by animal control for something relating to that.
She was also supposed to be opening a male brothel out here years ago, but it seems that never materialized. Too bad, too. I was thinking I might launch a very niche career catering to the sort of women who like to do the deed and then discuss political economy, open source software, and digital privacy after.
You’re going to need a bigger market.
Heh,
Niche?
It seems that wood have broad appeal.
I’m pretty sure Tres Cool would make a fortune given his preferences. He might also die of exertion.
We’re gonna need a bigger submarine.
I love that photshop. Someone deserves a beer.
I already drank it.
I hope you didn’t feel any pressure to do so.
I can’t even fathom why you’d make such a joke.
He’s really plumbing the depths of punnery.

*I don’t think I ever heard this version before.
The word “queer” has officially completed its journey to meaninglessness.
Maybe it has come full circle. That is certainly a queer notion.
Hey Mexican Sharpshooter- I posted a response to your catalytic converter woes on the ded-thread. Read it and follow it and you won’t be disappointed. The light may come on again, but probably after you’ve gotten your sticker.
Acetone in the fuel?
War Pigs.
Perfect choice.
Great song choice and video, Spud. All 4 were in relatively good health and playing well. Not a weak link in the band. Every member added something.
He seems nice.
I would love to hear what he thinks they “stand for”. Also, which meds he’s clearly not taking.
They stand for potluck Friday nights. That man hates potlucks!
I kept walking by this disturbing awesomeness a couple weeks ago and wondering WTF it was. Turns out it was, of course, a Masonic Temple. I hope somebody figures out something to do with it.
Knowing Masonic architecture, from the design it’s obvious that the building is a former lodge.
My lodge’s old building looks a little different, but not that much (if you know what to look for).
Oh I think I see one thing to look for around the corner on Cayuga St. (the front entrance).
Dayton’s is pretty magnificent (and apparently allegedly haunted.) It’s right across the street from the art museum, and both overlook the river and downtown. A jazz drummer of my former acquaintance said the Masonic Temple had the best acoustics for live musical performance in town.
Wow no kidding! That building is surveying everything in its purview.
One of my (several) escape routes from highway road construction traffic jams (which I’m taking pretty regularly these days) on my way home from work takes me right past the front of the Temple and the art museum. A rather scenic detour, at least at that point.
Very stately. There’s a rather nice one in Spokane. One of my dad’s uncles or something was supposed to be some kind of bigwig in the Spokane Freemasons from what I understand.
Wow! Found another shot of what I take to be the side of the Temple. It’s freakin’ huge!
Oh yeah, it’s quite the building. Occupies most of the city block on which it sits. Here’s the street view. The beautiful Cathedral of Our Lady of Lourdes is right across the street as well.
I remember the view of the George Washington Masonic National Memorial from the train station in Alexandria VA.
Zoom? Are “u ppl” jonesing for your zoom? Veins throbbing? Just one more zoom then you’ll get clean, you swear?
Here it is, it’s clean, I swear. You won’t get hooked.

That was Ted’S level hate.
Quiet, you. Zoom was awesome.
OMG. It’s like I hardly know you, man. I hated that show.
I apologize for any trauma I may have caused with that comment.

Not this one though.
Mweeeehahaha!
I had no idea he launched his Eurostardom from Germany but yeah that makes sense.
Raised in Chicago and DC, moved to Germany for no apparent reason mentioned in the wikipedia article. Could do worse.
He had a heck of a career. And made an immortal song.
Yup. I’ve danced to it in clubs and laughed with it on SNL.
This has been bugging me since I was 7 years old and that song was fresh on the charts: To my ears, he clearly – CLEARLY! – enunciates the chorus as “Lady don’t hurt me,” with a distinctive L sound, not “Baby don’t hurt me.” And yet the official published lyrics and every website in existence disagrees with me.
Step away from the dance floor, Pat.
LOL I’ve never paid the slightest attention to the words.
Now, you will forever hear this:

I see this as an absolute win.
Nope. I’m watching Buckaroo Banzai on Pluto.
Some Columbo now, USA v Jamaica soccer coming up later.
So the soccer is just one more thing?
Not just one more thing – it’s rare to catch them on an English-language cable channel anymore.
Oh, and them hiring Berhalter back after Claudio Reyna threw him under the bus is kind of delicious.
Going to get awkward with that punk Reyna Jr. who started this whole thing but oh wellz.

Yikes.
I hadn’t realized that OceanGate is located right here in Everett. I’ll have to remember to check resumes for that if they apply at my current company. We make pressure vessels too, so somebody might try it.
I wouldn’t write them off out of hand. They likely have a keen awareness of what not to do now.
Regarding carbon fiber, they might be aware that strings work well when you pull them, not so well when you push on them.

What now?
Ugh I hope I don’t need to do same soon.
Guess we’re not doing “decent intervals “anymore. The jokes started before we knew the pressure had been equalized.
There was some blue check on Twitter wondering why come the sub got crushed, but the Titanic wasn’t.
Eight bucks.

If there’s any Bay Area Glibs- HMU. Ill be working there for an undetermined amount of time.
Sleep well Nosferatu.
I have a Lyft scheduled to the airport (Sea-tac, which I hate) at 2:45 AM.
I happen to be a little tired now so I’m gonna let myself nap before I get up and pack.
Where are you working in the Bay? You staying in Ess Eff or nearby? Hit me up if you’re around for a while
No luck finding the distribution box today. Back out tomorrow and if strike out then, pay the septic boys on Monday.

An interesting cover.
The best cover.
I still gets bumped that War Pigs rhymes ‘masses’ with, uh ‘masses’ to start the song.
re: your second link: This song kicks ass. That is all.

Yes. Yes it does.
Not for nothing, but you’re freakin’ right its the best cover. By a country mile.

Firsting is definitely coded in masculine terms. The most masculine for it is the most masculine thing one can do.
Eat steak. Fuck bitches. First more. The SBF model does not accept or lend itself to analysis through queer theory.
The US dropping a game to Jamaica is just hilarious.
My smack-talking helped, it seems.
But would not have been at all surprising.
No, it would not have been.
New Star Wars show will feature a trannie in a prominent role.
The Force is apparently no longer female.
For those who don’t know, The Acolyte is a CW quality Star Wars show for Disney+ that has an all female cast. Because Disney is determined to double down and completely destroy the properties they’ve invested so much in for the sake of progressing the message.
For all that we admire Bud Light’s ability to destroy brand value, Disney remains the undisputed champion of doing so.
That’s remarkable, even for Disney. It’s as if Robert Iger doesn’t care about the value of his options.
This is blue-check-mark-on-Twitter type of stupid bullshit right here. I clicked it, hoping there would be some factual reporting. Instead I got retarded propaganda saying that there wasn’t some massive bill for using the US Airforce and Coast Guards and Navy in the search for the missing sub because…they wouldn’t issue a bill for their services. Forget the man hours spent – those guys don’t get paid apparently And those ships and boats run on unicorn farts and not massive amounts of fuel and expensive technology.
Standard procedure. The Kennedy family didn’t get a bill when John-John decided he was instrument-rated, and Maersk didn’t get charged when the SEALS popped the noggins off those Somali pirates.
Everyone involved knew that SAR for the submersible was a fruitless exercise, but it’s a good excuse for a drill — breaks up the monotony for the enlisted personnel, and you can just chalk up the expense involved to the training budget.

Mornin’ GT, Sean and Rhy,
Nice overcast with a promise of rain later, humid and mosquitoes.

Good morning, 4(20) and rhy (wherever you are!) This afternoon I need to get out and weed-whack in the back before WE get rain. Got the front done, but the battery on the whacker crapped out. (So did the one on the string trimmer. 😉)
