And we still haven’t found SugarFree.

Tonio is down for the count, so the Spudmeister has stepped in to spin a tale. Or post some links, or something.

 

Dumber, and dumber.

 

Everybody knows to avoid windows if you have heart problems.

 

Dude’s just working his side hustle.What’s the problem?

 

Just put a pillow case over it’s head.

“If a person lingers too long, LoDoMus Prime or Dave will start a countdown: “Five, four, three, two, one.” Then the robots call their human security backup.”

 

Wait for it! He wants to be a gym teacher.

 

Okay, that’s good for today. Peace out, Glibbies!

    Those robots remind me of the Daleks.

      “Then the robots call their human security backup.”
      How long until this changes to “deploy a taser” or worse?

    • bacon-magic

      EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

  2. The Other Kevin

    “If a person lingers too long, LoDoMus Prime or Dave will start a countdown: “Five, four, three, two, one.” Then the robots call their human security backup.”

    They should have been named KAREN-1 and KAREN-2.

    • Brochettaward

      Robots that just violently shriek at their targets.

    Wait for it! He wants to be a gym teacher.

    Shut it down. We won’t top that derp this week.

    • Tres Cool

      Meh. No different from every nutty broad (and person) going after a psychology degree.
      “I can learn to fix myself!”

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        Yep, it’s all about doing mesearch. There’s nothing better for depression than spending four years on a mostly useless degree.

    • Rat on a train

      Gym teachers need a degree?

      • Zwak says the real is not governable, but self-governing.

        Gotta learn to use the slide projector somewhere.

    “In recent days, we learned of specific conduct by Dr. Gow that has subjected the university to significant reputational harm. His actions were abhorrent,” UW president Jay Rothman said in a statement.

    If it had been tranny sex, he’d be untouchable.

    • Fourscore

      …”has subjected the university to significant reputational harm”…

      Ask a liberal arts degreed kid with 40K student loan debt what caused the most harm.

  5. Sean

    Also in 2017, people who objected to a security robot in the San Francisco SPCA complex — an animal welfare center — snuck up behind a Knightscope machine and tossed a tarp over it and rubbed barbecue sauce on its sensors. They believed the robot was deployed to intimidate homeless people in the area.

    Heh.

  6. The Late P Brooks

    UW system regent president Karen Walsh accused Gow, 63, of showing a “reckless disregard for the role he was entrusted with.”

    “We are alarmed, and disgusted, by his actions, which were wholly and undeniably inconsistent with his role as chancellor,” Walsh added.

    Okay, Karen.

    • R C Dean

      “As a tenured faculty member who has served as chancellor since 2007, Gow will be placed on paid administrative leave as he transitions into his faculty role.”

      The important thing is, he won’t miss a paycheck and still has a job cashing government checks for life.

  7. Brochettaward

    I thought being fat was a prerequisite to being a gym teacher in the first place.

    • Tres Cool

      1980s Kelly LeBrock would disagree.

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        Or Kim Cattrall (Lassie) in Porky’s.

      • bacon-magic

        Ow…wooooooooo.

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        Now you’ve got me all worked up. I’m going to go stick my dick through a wall.

    ‘Nikki Haley on Thursday acknowledged the Civil War was “about slavery,” after facing swift criticism for making no mention of it when asked about the cause of the conflict at a town hall.

    “Of course the Civil War was about slavery. We know that. That’s the easy part of it,”’

    Too blind to see the obviously loaded question by an obvious plant…elect this woman!

    • Zwak says the real is not governable, but self-governing.

      I am kinda mystified by the whole thing. Of course it’s a plant, but, why? Haley ain’t gonna win the primaries, those are all sewn up by Trump. So, why would you waste time on this shit? Do you thing she is gonna come in as VP, and that this will sink her? VP is gonna be someone from a blue state anyway, so this won’t matter. Do they think all the BS with Trump legally is gonna keep him out? I think even the left is resigned to him being on the ballot, and this wont fortify anything.

      So, why? Just too count coup? Big nothing burger to me.

  9. The Late P Brooks

    “What was the cause of the United States Civil War?” the man asked Haley.

    The bombardment of Fort Sumter. Next question.

    • Drake

      Northern aggression.

      • Don escaped Texas

        1) Michigan secedes from Union
        2) everything goes right along as before

    • The Last American Hero

      Nikki was just courting the mint julep and debutant ball crowd, but realized it is a small demographic.

    • Rat on a train

      They fought over whether states could secede.

  10. Drake

    Be a shame if some of our deep state operators were defenestrated regularly.

    • Don escaped Texas

      just vote for the right guy and he’ll Drain The Swamp!!!1!!

      I promise!!!1!!!!

  11. The Late P Brooks

    “I think the cause of the Civil War was basically how government was going to run, the freedoms and what people could and couldn’t do,” Haley said.

    “I think it always comes down to the role of government and what the rights of the people are,” Haley added. “And I will always stand by the fact that I think government was intended to secure the rights and freedoms of the people. It was never meant to be all things to all people. Government doesn’t need to tell you how to live your life. They don’t need to tell you what you can and can’t do. They don’t need to be a part of your life.”

    Just what a stooge of the Kochtopus would say.

    • R C Dean

      Jeebus. Give her a curveball question, and you trigger the bullet point bot. What an empty vessel.

  12. UnCivilServant

    I got a camera hooked up to the print controller Pi and pointed at the build plate.

    Running a test print to watch it from the other room and see if I need to adjust it’s position.

    • UnCivilServant

      It’s working!

      Still not sure if I want to adjust the camera angle.

      • Tres Cool

        Perhaps contact former Chancellor Joe Gow for some pointers ?

      • UnCivilServant

        I have no idea what you’re referencing.

        I did manage to get a decent focus despite the crappy focus adjustment on the camera.

      • UnCivilServant

        He has brought shame to the school and should be expelled. All the staff and faculty who abetted the fraud should be executed.

        I mean, it’s not even a sports school, just lose with class.

      • Not Adahn

        It’s a great excuse to tell the fundraisers to fuck off when they ask for donation next time.

      • rhywun

        Still don’t get why more women aren’t calling out this BS. It doesn’t end otherwise.

      • UnCivilServant

        It’s RIT, there aren’t any.

        To take their “We’re so diverse, Yay!” photograph of my Computer Foresnics class, they had to import the diverse people because the class was all nerdy dudes.

    Shocking vandalism

    A set of 1,400-year-old Buddha statues in southwest China were damaged by villagers who painted them with bright colors to “redeem a wish to the god,” officials said.

    Located in rural Nanjiang County in the province of Sichuan, the Shifeihe Buddha statues were carved in the late Northern Wei era (386-534) during the Northern and Southern Dynasties and have great academic value in the field of Buddhist culture and arts research, according to Chinese experts.

    They are the only statues in Sichuan to be carved on the surface of natural stone, researchers from the Bazhong City Cultural Relics Bureau and other organizations said.

    Though the incident took place last month, a video about it posted last week has been trending on WeChat, a popular Chinese social media platform.

    “Why are there no measures to preserve such ancient artifacts in advance? It also gives people the opportunity to paint,” one comment read.

    What if this is a traditional celebratory act of respect and gratitude?

    Fucking zookeepers.

    • rhywun

      Or what if they were originally painted (hopefully better than this 🤨) and the paint faded away?

    • The Other Kevin

      In every problem lies an opportunity. Do they sell Bud Light in Brazil?

    Speaking of primitive ritual sacrifice

    Thursday’s demolition – taking place during winter break – was expected to last several days, the University of Idaho said in a news release this month. But it could be finished within a day, university spokesperson Jodi Walker told CNN.

    “It is the grim reminder of the heinous act that took place there,” University of Idaho President Scott Green said in a news release. “While we appreciate the emotional connection some family members of the victims may have to this house, it is time for its removal and to allow the collective healing of our community to continue.”

    Level it, before it kills again.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      It’s just silly…scrub it out, change the locks, and let someone else rent it. We’ve become such wusses.

      • The Last American Hero

        It’s absurd. Whatever happened to moving on? Perhaps Kent State should have burned the entire campus to the ground after the shootings.

    Treasury Drops a Hydrogen Bomb

    The renewables lobby says hydrogen producers should be able to claim the tax credit even if their electrolyzers run on grid power generated in part by fossil fuels. Hydrogen producers would then offset those fossil-fuel emissions by buying what are effectively indulgences from solar and wind generators.

        If only we had cool names like that.

        “Preparations for the military strike, dubbed Operation Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication Storm, are already underway.”

    A former patient is suing an Eden Prairie dentist for “work performed negligently,” including allegations that the dentist attempted to provide eight crowns, four root canals, and 20 restorations in a single visit, while also providing “anesthesia well in excess of the recommended dosage,” court documents allege.

    • Don escaped Texas

      Republicans regain control of the House of Representatives and immediately demonstrate their qualifications to govern the nation by taking five days and 15 ballots to elect a speaker, which is like a Formula One driver spending the first 20 minutes of a race changing his oil

      running for office and holding office require very different skill sets

    • westernsloper

      Thanks. Bookmarked.

      In other entertainment news, the Writers Guild reaches a tentative agreement with the entertainment industry under which from now on there will be only one streaming service, which viewers can access by means of a single remote control with clearly labeled buttons that even an older adult can understand, and you get the whole shebang for one reasonable monthly charge that is clearly stated and easy to cancel.

      Ha ha! We are of course joking. The entertainment industry will not rest until the number of streaming services exceeds the U.S. population. Also there will come a day when you cannot flush your toilet without “two-factor authentication.”

    Haley acknowledges Civil War ‘about slavery’ after facing backlash

    The wurst thing about this presidential season, is that warmongering money grubbing war machine dick sucking bitch showed back up. Speaking of warmongering war machine dick sucking bitches……Micheal Malice interviewed Meagan McCain and asks: ‘is the view just a psyop to get the 19th amendment repealed?”………LMAO…….Apparently they are friends. I have had some asshole friends too, so whatever, but that shit is funny.

    For male periods.

    Replaces all instances of the words or variations of the words feminine hygiene products and sanitary napkins with the words menstrual products or pads, respectively, or a variation thereof

    Naturally Hochul signed this.

    • R C Dean

      What broke brained justification is there for this? Are they saying that tampons are used by men, and men can’t be feminine, so this is addressing some kind of whackadoodle discrimination against men? I thought the whole point was that anyone who identifies as a woman may need tampons, whether they were assigned male or female at birth. Are they saying that not who identifies as a woman can be feminine, because some of them were assigned male at birth? Seems pretty anti-trans to me. Or are they saying nobody who identifies as a woman can be feminine? Seems anti-woman to me.

      I wonder what’s next? Prohibiting identifying shoes as “men’s” and “women’s”?
