As a parent, you come across instances when your kid demonstrates he’s smarter than you. This past summer was my youngest’s turn.
This is my review of Tombstone Brewing Hop Wrangler Triple Hopped Amber Ale:
It began shortly after the little league season ended and we all were briefly delighted in the unseasonably cool May and June, but all knew July was staring over our shoulders like the Undertaker meme. Which meant our kids would have to figure out what to do with their day since going outside wasn’t going to be pleasant.
Enter the classic Rubik’s Cube.
Originally called, The Magic Cube, the classic puzzle of a cube consisting of nine individual squares to be matched up by color on each face has confused the hell out of nearly everyone that’s tried to solve it. Including the inventor:
Sitting on the patio of his home in the hills of Budapest, Rubik, now 76, fiddled with a cube as he recalled its “discovery” and accidental success. (He prefers to use “discovered,” rather than “invented” — as if the existence of the object was somehow pre-ordained).
After creating the cube, he explained, he was faced with a second challenge: how to solve it. At the time, he had no idea if his cube could even be put back into place, let alone how fast — and it took him a full month to solve his own puzzle. It was fiendishly difficult “to find your way back, or to find your target — just to solve it as a combinatorical problem,” he said. “And I was without any background for that, because I was the first who tried.”
This is the perfect time suck device for a work from home parent and children around the house inevitably complaining they are bored. Screw you, kid do you like eating? Let me work damnit.
In his left hand is the Illuminati membership prism hidden inside the cube when you solve it.
This worked beautifully until he decided to ask me for help on the cube. Fun fact: I can’t solve these things. Another fun fact: there are thousands of places online that can teach you how to solve the Rubik’s Cube, assuming you have the disposition to learn the “algorithms” needed to solve it. So he did.
Now he’s trying to do it for time. Requesting absurdities called a, “speed cube” that has magnets internally that allow the Cuber to simply flick the side and not have to worry about overturning, thus improving speed to solve. He’s looking up locations for Speed Cuber conventions to see if his <:45 solve time is at all competitive. Yes, they call themselves, “Cubers”.
Need an indicator of the level of autism endemic in this community? For giggles I looked up “steel Rubik’s Cube” because why not? Turns out there are indeed people that will machine these out, but it still hasn’t occurred to them to try selling one.
For the life of me I can’t recall if I reviewed this one, but I was able to find it again so I can actually give you a decent review. If you like amber ales, reminiscing of a time when craft beer was supposed to about a more flavorful drink of higher quality, that suggested a sense of open mindedness in that you weren’t just going to have what everyone else is. If this is supposed to be a reminder of age before every craft brewer on Earth decided to make most bitter IPA to the point there was a genuine worldwide shortage of hops—this is not for you. This is what happens when brewers play god. Hey let’s take something normal and good, and then troll everyone by throwing in the one ingredient that has more of a Marmite Effect, than actual Marmite. I’m glad they did because this is actually really good. If your beef with amber ale is that its boring and malty, you won’t have this problem. Its fragrant, balanced, and perfect for backyard bbq. Its a combination that doesn’t seem that difficult to solve but for some reason must leave so many confused because you don’t see it often. Tombstone Brewing Hop Wrangler Triple Hopped Amber Ale: 3.9/5
Oh. I thought you were going to say he took the thing apart and reassembled it.
I think that’s certainly what most in my generation did. The trick was to keep it from being too loose on reassembly.
And damn you, MS for making me think of the god awful live action Transformers movies. The All Spark was such a stupid Macguffin in those.
Alternatively, we reglued the stickers. I’ve done both. I recall being disapointed that there wasn’t a center cube, just a weird joint.

I had a Rubik’s pyramid as a kid. It was much easier.
I’ve still got a Rubik’s Snake sitting in my living room to fiddle with. There’s a non-zero chance that my sister has our old copy of Rubik’s Race at her place.
Heh, I had forgotten about those.
My wealthier friends (i.e. almost all of them) always had cooler toys than me.
I got a junky hand-me-down Rubik’s cube way after everyone else already had the pyramid, the snake, the 4×4 cube, etc. etc.
We have the pyramid too. As well as 2×2, mirror, and “offset” cubes.
It’s like a rubik’s cube of logic
Fain on Thursday also told Automotive News the union would seek “a 32-hour workweek with 40 hours’ worth of pay,” elaborating on comments he made earlier in the week.
He said the truncated workweek could spur the Detroit 3 to hire more union workers.
“I think it will create more jobs, more opportunities for people to get their share in the economy,” he said.
You betcha.
“the Rubik’s cube of logic”
I think you misspelled “French economics”
Speaking as someone with French family in Normandy and Brittany (as well as a wayward female cousin in Paris), *not even the French would believe something so stupid*, with the exception of French Commies.
Those folks are straight-up bonkers.
But it’s KKKorporate greed that makes cars so expensive, you betcha.
It’s the damned Feds that do.
The states should nullify CAFE so you can buy a work truck for under $60k

From the dead morning thread:
If you see this, OBE — why Cat5? If you’re going to bother with cable runs these days, shouldn’t it be Cat6 or 7 so you can run higher speed networks when you get around to it? Just curious (as I’m slowly migrating my home LAN piece by piece to 2.5/10GbE
I was curious about needing to trace those out. Unless you need to know the specific route, just tone it out.

He doesn’t want the kids to be able to download as much porn as Cat6 or Cat7 cable would enable them to.
Maybe he’s got a 500′ spool of Cat 5 in the basement and can’t get 100Mbps from his ISP so why bother with faster in the house?
More likely, I read that to mean he’s tracing existing Cat 5, not installing new.
And at work, not at home. Which means this was govt spec cabling in the first place.
That is an excellent and likely point. Thanks.
If this is supposed to be a reminder of age before every craft brewer on Earth decided to make most bitter IPA to the point there was a genuine worldwide shortage of hops—this is not for you.
Hint taken.
I don’t mind an IPA that’s ‘balanced’ but too many of them are jamming as much hops in as possible and it’s gross.
Also, I’m full after two of them and can’t drink any more.
How can you demonstrate to the world that you are a manly man if you don’t drink an abnormally bitter beer?
By not caring what petty people think about you.
You could always go for absurdly hot coffee.
Absurdly hot salsa?
Perhaps, but what goes around comes around with that, know what I mean?

In the morning links I touted a YouTube channel that the algorithm wanted me to watch, but forgot to paste the link

Skip to the part where the movie starts (there is a marker) to get to the crazy/hot matrix reveal. There is wearing your heart on your sleeve… And then there is whatever category this is. She is awesome.
Ha! Oddly enough, YT recommended I watch her react to the Firefly movie Serenity. I said fuck it and gave it a go. The woman went half crazy after Wash died. I mean, uncontrollably weeping for the rest of the video, even after the film finished…I laughed my ass off at first then just got annoyed and quit watching.
I wonder how she broke through the algorithm. I am pretty sure it is genuine,not a character. But it is such nerd bait. She loves sci-fi fantasy, is hyper emotional and kinda hot? It is like she is designed in a lab to attract simps to find her patreon page.
Wait. Wash DIED?
Too soon man.

The actor couldn’t sign a commitment to several future films (which never materialized anyway).
That rubik bit hits home…. My daughter just had to get an entire set of speed cubes… 2×2,3×3, 4×4 and pyramid. Had to be speed cubes. Her friend did that. So she was going to go for speed too.
To my knowledge, she has never solved the 3×3 puzzle. The obsession lasted about 2 days.
I bought the marble tower run things for my nephew and now my niece is old enough to use them so it was a good investment.
Was at the beer store recently and saw these two siting next to each other. Since Mexi reviewed a couple Drekker beers lately I thought I’d share. Notice the price difference. It’s not too often that superior quality costs less.
*superior quality and shipped across an ocean and half a continent.
Yep. Go with the Munchen.

My son (Aspergers) got heavily into Rubiks cubes as a teenager. It made gift buying easy, but all the best ones now come from China, of course, so order early if you want one in time for Christmas.
He’s got dozens of them, up to and including the 7×7 models.
How did the organ performance competition go? Or has it not yet happened? (I’ve been awol)
He placed third out of five. If he had performed up to his normal level, I think he would have taken second, but he was a bit off. He gets nervous in competitions and he doesn’t sleep well in hotels.
First place was a kid from Curtis who’s on entirely another level and second was from Juilliard.
To be frank, I didn’t enjoy the first place finisher simply because at that level they tend to play music which only other organists appreciate. It’s like really esoteric jazz.
I get what you’re saying. There’s a Liszt piece (Rondo Fantastique) that is technically difficult to play but it has no passion. Apparently, he was young when he wrote it and thought the piano ought to be played like the percussion instrument that it is, not because he was trying to make a statement, but because he didn’t understand or feel what other composers were doing. At least, that’s what I took it to mean.
When I was a teenager, “Clair de Lune” was my go-to competition and recital piece. While I was practicing, my mom kept yelling at me, “That’s NOT how you play that!” I’m like, what. The notes are RIGHT THERE. I’m doing it right. Dafuq. “It’s not RIGHT! Can’t you HEAR it?!” Hear what? It’s all put together. Dafuq. Years later, I heard it come on the radio and it totally hit me. Oh, THAT’S how you play that.
I love that piece, and Debussy in general.
And yeah, I can’t get past hitting the right key and maybe my fingers aren’t tripping over each other to get anywhere near the stage where shit sounds perfessional.
Debussy
lol Isn’t that the Jack Horkheimer theme music?
A different arrangement is one of the signature themes for Jennie in Portrait of Jennie (starting around 10:20, but the whole movie is worth watching).
You would think of pervy Jack Horkheimer, wouldn’t you? 🙂
And yes, it is ththat theme music.
lol I’m reminded of a Looney Tunes with the crazy unplayable sheet music and I think it was Bugs all wore out at the end of it.
Rhapsody Rabbit? https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7z65zq
That’s thee wahn!
/Bugs doing Jacque Blacque accent
Ah, that’s too bad, in multiple ways.
I agree wholeheartedly on the esoteric “by organists for organists” stuff. There’s way too much of it. William Bolcomb has a multitude of pieces to atone for; he’s far from alone. Something similar could be said about Jazz, but it’s rather more to be expected there, given what Jazz is.
I’m a great admirer of the piece you said he would be playing. But then, “ah, Bach!” 😉
Somewhat apropos Mojeaux’s comments on Liszt, a couple of his large organ works are terrific, but only on the right instrument with the right performer. The Ad Nos…, and Weinen, Klagen…, are amongst my favorites. I have more recordings of them that are at best adequate than those that live up to the music. Sigh.
“Organ performance competition”?
OK, groomer.
*Clutches pearls*
The special counsel overseeing a Donald Trump indictment has sought an emergency protective order just hours after the ex-president made a social media post viewed as threatening to witnesses.
Jack Smith entered Trump’s post – saying ‘IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU’ – into evidence on Friday night, shortly after it was posted. …
Smith warned the post indicated Trump was determined to attack his critics by any means necessary.
‘If the defendant were to begin issuing public posts using details – or, for example, grand jury transcripts – obtained in discovery here, it could have a harmful chilling effect on witnesses or adversely affect the fair administration of justice in this case,’ Smith wrote.
Because the government is the victim here.
Any means, including offering a defense in the case. Geez, just send his family the bill for the execution bullet already.
Did the prosecutor also enter into evidence the preceding post threatening Trump (quoted below)?
This cunte is still talking.
“No, and I’ll tell you what I never expected is that basically the Democrats would be the pro-military party, and that they would almost be the more hawkish party than Republicans are and that’s what’s happened, it’s been this weird switch.”
Uh…they have been the war party for more than a century. Bushism was an exception.
Everything is politicized, except the military, and he is doing his best to do it. People like him, people like Josh Hawley that go out and they tweet these ads about how great the Russian army is because they have like these manly ads. The Russian army is getting crushed on the battlefield.
I see we are still going with this false narrative.
Saying the Russians are getting crushed is overstating it. But… this war is way off from Russian plans and nearly universal predictions. Ukraine should have folded long ago. It’s pretty remarkable they have made this more costly than Russia’s adventure in Afghanistan.
That is due to western/NATO interference that never should have been.
Obviously Bad Orange Baby is terrified.
“To see the president of the United States be arraigned, it was interesting to hear Mr. Dunn talk about how it felt for him in the courtroom. I wasn’t in the courtroom, of course but when I saw his coming out of his car and this or that, I saw a scared puppy. He looked very, very, very concerned about his fate. I didn’t see any bravado or confidence or anything like that. He knows. He knows the truth, that he lost the election, and now he has to face the music.”
Because standard operating procedure in free countries is to persecute your political opposition because they dared to question the outcome of an election. You people are not acting like you won legitimately.
This (alleged) pedophile is still talking.
We’re coming after you, @realDonaldTrump. We’re going to break you, humiliate you, defeat you at the ballot box, shatter your movement. You’ll spend your sorry last years weeping in a lonely prison cell, your hideous legacy a warning to future generations, your shame eternal.
You can’t stop the signal.

I’ve been cleaning up the backyard since yesterday. Hot. Rabbits and lizards are unhappy with the brush removal. Beer sounds like just the thing to have now.
It was raining yesterday, so I cut the grass today. I ran out of weed trimmer line with three feet of edge left.
Good luck and stay hydrated.
Yard and garage done. Kitchen clean. Family making nesses behind me. Ugh. I got some Shiner Prickly Pear Seasonal beer. Very refreshing .

If Firsts were a shape, if you could ever try to reduce a First into such a concept, they would be both cubical and spherical at once. I have seen it with my Third Eye, but it would literally explode the minds of lesser Firsters let alone seconders such as yourselves.
They are also a deep indigo color and taste like Haskap berries. Delicious and good for you.
TBH this sounds like some of the higher order math I was exposed to.
I’m now thinking of Gleaming the Cube.
Argh.
You people are not acting like you won legitimately.
Exactly. If everything had been legitimate, there would be no reason to say anything but, “You want to verify the votes? Have at it.” They didn’t do that, they went straight into coverup mode.
How did that go again from Watergate.. it’s not the crime, it’s the coverup?
I think the modern iteration is:
“Shut up, racist!”
Yeah, Watergate got a president to resign. This one’s just shoved in our faces with a nanny-nanny-boo-boo.
So, GL, any thoughts on how the Pac-4 is going to shape up?
Sheesh, as one of my Irish friends might say, “that went tits up quickly.”
Yeah, like going broke. I doubt the rump has enough heft to form a conference. Probably fragment into Mountain West or beg into others. Stupid dipshit Larry Scott.
And just to rub your nose in it, they published an article in Time explaining exactly how went down.
Mostly favorable
Anheuser-Busch InBev on Thursday reported a steep drop in profits amid the ongoing boycott against Bud Light, but the company insists U.S. consumers still have a generally favorable view of the beer brand.
The company announced that its U.S. revenue dropped 10.5% in the second quarter, while its earnings before taxes, interest and depreciation fell 28.2%.
The second quarter covered April through the end of June and offers the first look at the damage caused by the Bud Light boycott, which began in April after the brewer partnered with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
Their customers have disappointed them.
Their CEO thinks so. I don’t see any hope for the brand recovering unless the CEO resigns or is ousted by the board.
every craft brewer on Earth decided to make most bitter IPA – I wish I could get these here because most craft IPAs in Romania are while hoppy excessively sweet especially in the aftertaste. then again for beer any sweet is excessive.
Hops are a terrible ingredient and should be minimized or eliminated.
That’s like throwing the baby out with the bath water. But here you go.
The more I think about it, you don’t even need that list. There are dozens of varieties of beer that have very minimal to no discernable hop presence.
If your baby smells like hops, contact a pediatrician immediately.
I’m not sharing my hops baby.
I gotta say, “Triple Hopped” would probably put me off at the beer store, even though I love ambers.
Also from the morning links, was nice to hear a Tulip mention.
Seconded.
Yup. It’s been quite some time since I have seen her post here.
Yeah, she’s moved on. For some reason, hanging with a bunch of troglodyte curmudgeons didn’t appeal to her.
Don’t forget all the misogynists.
I thought those were included in troglodyte curmudgeons.
Just spent and hour that would have preferred not to have spent installing:
Idlestopper™ v2 Full Plug and Play
It went into my wife’s new Acura MDX. It wasn’t a bad install, but I spent 20 minutes wrestling with the power lead. It draws power off a 12V accessory port and you have pull a connector from the back of it in a very confined space. It was the worst part of the install. The other thing is pulling the HVAC panel and shifter trim out. It wasn’t too hard, but you have to really yank and isn’t thrilling to be pulling hard on plastic trim in a brand new car. It sounds awful as the fasteners release. Also did I mention how much I despise piano black trim. Fortunately it looks like that trend is peaking. It’s not used on any of the touchpoints thank goodness.
$90. Thank you EPA! An only one small scratch on my left hand.
All it is is an electronic switch that automatically that either pulls up or pulls down the stupid toggle that already exists on the center console about 5 seconds after you start the car and the device receives power. It’s designed to fail safe. If the device is unpowered the car works as normal with “auto stall” the default start up behavior.
I don’t understand the why the car shutting off at any hint of idling is a good thing. I don’t have it on my cars (too old), but every time I’m at a light and I hear a car start up again, it irritates me.
It gives the fractionally better CAFE mileage numbers if you run an EPA drive cycle.
In the real world with lots of city driving you can get about 5% better mileage with increased wear on starter and battery. The starter has been beefed up and actually seems reliable. However they eat batteries. They usually require AGN batteries as well which are over 2x the cost too.
AGM!
I swear I will allow my 2006 Sonata to nickel-and-dime me to death before I get anything with that or a touch screen instead of buttons and knobs.
Automatic start/stop is in my Mustang. I have to turn it off every time I start up the car. Same with auto-braking.
I haven’t looked to see if there is a hack or switch or something out there to permanently turn both off.
https://www.autostopeliminator.com/collections/ford
Didn’t see the Mustang listed. You can look around.
Installed these on my Jeeps. Fairly easy install. They don’t make one for my ’23 Grand Cherokee yet.
I’ve got a button on the Highlander that does that. No idea if I have to push it every time I start. I’ll have to check.
The button to turn off the hellspawn lane assist is one and done, so I’ve got that going for me.
The C-Max will shut down the ICE engine on long idle, but it has the electric to start moving before starting the ICE back up. I can’t turn the behavior off, and it annoys me when I think the car has randomly stalled out at a long red light.
Around 10 years ago you could select the default.
However, the EPA didn’t like that and mandated mileage configuration must be the default start up. So if there is a sport setting on transmission behavior with lower mileage it will deactivate with a key cycle as an example.
That explains why “Normal” and “Eco” persist, but “Sport” mode doesn’t.
It’s their way of death by a thousand cuts for ICE vehicles.
I have to brag on XX.
She applied for a position as supervisor when one came open, knowing she wasn’t going to get it. That’s fine. Her boss already knows she wants to make a career at FedEx, so he’s given her mentoring assignments at which she has exceeded expectations. Anyway, her boss took her aside and told her he was really impressed that she took the initiative to apply, and though he didn’t select her, he was going to help her with mock interviews so she would know how to do that. Further, she’s taking a trial run at morning shift now, which I think is preparatory for her getting to a full-time position, and “grooming” her to be able to confidently stake her future on FedEx.
She loves it there so much. It’s so wonderful seeing her so happy and confident. That place has just brought out the best in her and she has blossomed into this magnificent young woman.
Finally! The GOOD kind of “grooming”! 😃👏🏼
Yes. How it USED to be used! I hate using that word now.
I mentioned this a few days ago, but she should check out Season 1, Episode 2 of the History Channel’s Mega-Brands That Built America, “The World Delivered.” FedEx’s origin story is particularly wild!
Oh, I don’t remember seeing that. I’ll pass it along.
If you remember this, you’re old. I ‘member.

Heh, Galoob. There’s a flashback.
It sounds normal at .75 speed.
Dedicated and motivated employees are hard to find, so making sure they’re set up to succeed in your organization is an easy way to keep them around.
Now, her trial run at mornings pertains to us in that she will have to be at work at 3:30 a.m. on Monday mornings.
What happens on Sunday afternoons and Sunday evenings? Football. My husband’s spot in front of his TV is 10 feet away from her bedroom, so she’s asked us to keep it down when a football game is on, so she can sleep. He’s not going to watch football on a smaller TV not at his spot, and she’s not going to be able to sleep. There’s going to have to be some compromising on both parts. I’ve told her we will be quiet, but she’s going to have to get some kind of ear protection. ‘Splosives had mentioned a headband type thing with speakers at the ears, so I told her to get one of those and put on white noise.
Wow. That is so morning it’s dang near graveyard shift.
Good for her! I love hearing about “kids” doing well in the real world.
I only know 3:30 a.m. from the back side.

How about wireless headphones for dad? My Sennheisers were great, lasted a long time.
And a ball-gag for his reactions?
If they’re into that.
My thought exactly, right down to the Sennheisers. After, I dunno, ten years, I replaced them (with the same model, which has actually been upgraded) because the ear pads were wearing out. I wear them almost every night, since Mrs. Dean goes to be about an hour before I do. It would never occur to me to tell somebody to suck it up and deal because I want to watch TV after they go to bed.
Decent speakers and background noise should do a good job. I had that problem years ago and I used a white noise generator and a fan. Once I got used to it, it would induce sleep almost immediately.
Good mommy
That’s awesome. Congratulations to XX.

That is such good news. And logistics is a business that will never go away, so it’s a great line of work to get into.
Any of you have useless dogs like this?

Mine would at least bark first…and then let the drunk/high stranger give her lots of love.
100% how my dog would handle it.
Also… 2 homeless guys stole my wife and daughter’s bikes a couple of months back. Full grown man stole a 12 year old girls bike. Douche.
They had old beat up kids bikes. Left them for me.
I did until last December. I’m certain if someone broke in the only thing he would do is delay them by demanding to be pet.
The Dean Beasts bow to no dog when it comes to raw uselessness.
Now, I’m pretty sure my Newfie from way back wouldn’t just kill the thief, he’d also dispose of the body.
you have to really yank and isn’t thrilling to be pulling hard on plastic trim in a brand new car.
At least that new plastic trim isn’t as brittle as it will be in a few years.
In the real world with lots of city driving you can get about 5% better mileage with increased wear on starter and battery. The starter has been beefed up and actually seems reliable. However they eat batteries. They usually require AGN batteries as well which are over 2x the cost too.
I wonder how that plays out on the Mercedes combo starter/alternator (just like a Model T!) inside the bellhousing. A few thousand here, a few thousand there…
I’d trust the Japanese over the Germans. They have also been doing it longer.

Fargo, ND sues over state preemption law
The state’s biggest city has an ordinance that bans people from selling guns and ammunition out of their homes. The Republican-controlled Legislature passed a law this year that limits cities and counties from regulating guns and ammunition. The law, which took effect Tuesday, also voids existing, related ordinances.
The city’s lawsuit says the “stakes are much higher” and gets at whether the Legislature can “strip away” Fargo’s home rule powers. Fargo voters approved a home rule charter in 1970 that gave the city commission certain powers, including the power to zone public and private property.
“As it relates to this present action, the North Dakota legislative assembly is upset that the City of Fargo has exercised its home rule powers to prohibit the residents of the City of Fargo – and no one else – from the home occupation of selling firearms and ammunition and the production of ammunition for sale,” the lawsuit states. “Effectively, the City of Fargo does not want its residents to utilize their homes in residential areas as gun stores.”
Dismissed with prejudice. You’re a city, you answer to the state.
<blockquote“As it relates to this present action, the North Dakota legislative assembly is upset that the City of Fargo has exercised its home rule powers to prohibit the residents of the City of Fargo – and no one else – from the home occupation of selling firearms and ammunition and the production of ammunition for sale,” the lawsuit states. “Effectively, the City of Fargo does not want its residents to utilize their homes in residential areas as gun stores.”
Lying liars like lying. This is about FFL’s acting as the legally required middlemen for online sales. None of them have gun stores in their homes. Simple zoning regulations would take care of that.
The gun-grabbers on the council refused to revoke the ordinance, even though there has never been one single issue of any kind. So the legislature stepped in and told them to get bent.
Federal judge rejects challenge to CT assault weapons ban
A federal judge on Thursday rejected a gun rights group’s challenge to an assault weapons ban the state of Connecticut adopted after a gunman in 2012 killed 20 children and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
The National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) filed a lawsuit in September, arguing the 2013 ban violated the right to bear arms under the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment, citing a major U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year that expanded gun rights.
“NAGR, please.” – Lying cunte judge
This is the cunte that cited text/history/tradition to conclude the opposite of text/history/tradition.
“expanded gun rights”
Fuck off. Unless you’re one of those *spit* legal positivists, it did no such thing.
Oh goody. More laws
This week, Gov. Chris Sununu signed 54 bills into law with one criticized and two immediately praised by Democrats.
Sununu also vetoed two bills, one relative to the obligation of collective bargaining units to negotiate in good faith and the other establishing a safety program for off-highway recreational vehicles.
And one signing Wednesday was witnessed by a bunch of red deer, HB 119, at a Plymouth farm relative to homestead food operation licensure and making provisions for the sale of meat from uninspected bison, elk, or red deer.
What a loser.
