The thaw brings out lots of people
The week starts of belligerently, with Mercury and Mars dominating. Fortunately that wears off by Wednesday. On the 14th, things show go remarkably well, with only a few date ideas cautioned against. Specifically, avoid cruises, boat trips, and related activities. Yes, I know that the pirate/pegleg/hook thing might be a Valentine’s Day tradition for you, but this year the risk of splinters is just too high. That all changes on the 16th. When Venus moves into Aquarius, feel free to engage in water sports to your heart’s content.

Capricorn: 9 of Coins reversed – Basic bougie bitches behaving badly.
Bonus Super Bowl Prediction draw: 7 of Cups reversed – this actually doesn’t mention which team wins. What it means is the game will be decided by a misperception/illusion/seeing something that isn’t there. Either a terrible read by a QB, a shit call, or a real call getting reversed.

Well, I did start the chili this morning, and pretty sure it’ll bite back after it’s consumed. Bell, poblano, jalapeno, Fresno, Serrano, habanero, one of Sean’s super-hots (chocolate naga I believe), dried chipotle, dried aleppo, and smoked paprika.
Are you making chili or trying to start a fire?
Chili of course. A nicely balanced, very spicy chili.
Sounds too spicy for my taste.
Which I’m sure is a top concern for you.
I just finished shredding the ~half pound of smoked cheddar to top the chili. Whole batch goes into an earthenware pie pan, topped with the cheese, and then just gets parked in the oven at the host’s house long enough to melt the cheese. Works as a dip or to spoon into a bowl to eat it. The heat is there, and it shows up, but it doesn’t overstay its welcome. The fun of bringing this over the years is watching the kids reactions to it. They get warned that it’s spicy, and the bolder ones will try a little bit on a chip. One of my old acquaintance’s kids tried it, and came up to proudly say, “I tried the chili, and I didn’t cry or anything!”
Wait so THAT’S what Aleppo is?
I, too, just finished putting all the stuff in the chili pot: serrano, habanero, jalapeno, bell, poblano, chipotle, dried poblano (aka ancho), with short ribs
AND THREE KINDS OF BEANS, MOTHERFUCKERS
Dis is de wey.
And one banana pepper
Want me to send you a new CO alarm ?
No beans!
Onion, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, smoked pepper, fire roasted tomatoes, beef, Founder’s Porter, and masa.
Black beans, kidney beans, Goya “pink beans” (no idea what they are, but they have a thin, tender skin)
*stands next to Neph*
When I’ve got my New Mex purist hat on, no beans. Abuela Dean’s recipe had no beans, so that’s pretty much that.
It’s a big world, though. I’ve had chili with beans and enjoyed it more times than I can count.
You had me at Founders Porter.
Why are you making beans?
I mean, it isn’t chili, so…
😃
The girlfriend has already yelled at me for “trying to kill her”. She was unable to be in the kitchen at the beginning of the cooking process due to the pepper fumes. I managed to avoid injuring myself with superhots, which is always a victory.
Rubber gloves are your friend.
Once after chopping peppers for chili, I diligently washed my hands with Dawn and hot water thinking that would get rid of the oil.
Hours later, before bed, I washed my hands again when I took out my contacts.
It was like Id been maced.
Once I had harvested some ghost chili seeds to send someone, and thought I had washed my hands well enough to be safe. I was incorrect, and touching my eye taught me that. I was contemplating pouring a shot of milk in my eye to try to help, instead I just suffered for the 20-30 minutes while the girlfriend laughed at me (after I had made it clear that there was nothing that could be done).
I have a friend who once chopped up some habaneros, then later that night his girlfriend discovered that he hadn’t washed his fingers enough.

Are there any sports games on today?
There were some Hurling matches today.
I think the hurling comes later, if I’m reading some of the above comments right.
My next door neighbor, who is a soccer hooligan, said there was some West Ham match this morning
There was, but West Ham didn’t show up.
There was a team in West Ham colors on the pitch, they just weren’t playing any defense to speak of.

Sufficiently shitty.
Tres Ver 2.0 got his taste of a 12 gauge today. We’ve mostly been shooting small caliber since its cheap, and he needs to work on his skills.
But I loaded the ol’ Mossberg 500 with some slugs. Boy was he surprised.
equal and opposite….all that.
He should try my 458 Win Mag. It’s not what you would call a plinker. Three shots and you have that special kind of headache only a gun like that can give you.
It spits 500 grain bullets at around 2100 fps.
Unless Im facing down a grizzly, or a Lyle Alzado filled with PCP and crank, I dont think I need that kind of firepower.
“But I loaded the ol’ Mossberg 500 with some slugs. Boy was he surprised.”
Nothing tightens up your form with a shotgun like shooting heavy loads. At one of my classes, we had a competitive shooter who was really good with light loads. When we started shooting 00, he learned some things about his stance. Slugs are where you squeeze out the last bit of slop in how you manage the gun.
And nurse your shoulder the next day.
I’ve run dozeens of slugs and hundreds of 00 over a few days, and if your form and stance is tight, you’ll be fine. You get beat up when you don’t seat the stock right and don’t lean into it right. It’s mostly repetition with heavy loads so you know what to expect.
Where can I learn this mystical form of shooting?
Boy was he surprised.
By the recoil, or the destruction?
The kick. And the noise.
Blood in the water
President Joe Biden’s allies on Sunday defended the commander in chief and blasted a special counsel report that questioned the president’s age and mental fitness as containing “gratuitous, unnecessary and inaccurate personal remarks.”
Mitch Landrieu, a senior adviser to Biden, told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that “this kind of sense that he’s not ready for this job is just a bucket of B.S. It’s so deep [that] your boots will get stuck under.”
Landrieu added that as a longtime adviser to Biden, he can testify to his mental acuity.
“I’ve been knowing him for 30 years. I have met with him personally. I’ve met with him with two people, five people, 10 people. I have been on trips with him, crisscrossing the country, rebuilding America based on this incredible infrastructure bill that was passed. And I’m telling you, this guy is tough. He’s smart. He’s on his game,” Landrieu said.
They’re behind him 1000%.
So not senile, then must be criminal; he knowingly took classified info he wasn’t legally authorized to take, mishandled storage of same, and then shared this classified information with a private citizen unauthorized to see it. Either narrative is devastating to Biden so they go for the one contradicted by what any citizen observed every time Biden talks in public?
They go for the narrative that shows they own anyone who parrots such obvious lies.
You ain’t free if someone can compel you to say bullshit you know ain’t true.
Having it both ways – he’s sharp as a tack but can’t be held responsible for how he handled classified docs ‘cuz you know, good ol’ Grandpa Joe – without a trace of cognitive dissonance.
So much this.
The law does not apply to the LEADERSHIP CLASS, and no Trump is not part of that club. Got it jack?
I wonder how long the MSM is going to play along.
They will keep playing until someone behind the scenes takes power. Right now it is a free for all; some want him gone, some want the cover of having him there.
When asked whether he or other members of the Cabinet have considered invoking the 25th Amendment, which would trigger a process for the Cabinet to remove and replace the president, Mayorkas said, “Not at all.”
“I don’t engage in politics. I’m responsible for governing and following the president’s agenda, which I scrupulously do,” he said.
“I’ve got troubles of my own.”
A political appointee running a cabinet department who “doesn’t engage in politics” isn’t doing his jobs.
But we already knew that.

I think I may try to watch the game and Zoom at the same time. Gonna try using mobile data on one, and ElonNet on the other
I think I’ll sign in just before kickoff
I’m getting ready to have company over for the game.
Menu is:
BBQ ribs from Dreamland
Smoked sausage from same
Brunswick Stew (the pork butt and chicken are what’s in the smoker)
Cuban sandwich-style nachos
Cream cheese and chorizo-stuffed smoked jalapenos
Deviled eggs
King cake (a nod to Mardi Gras on Tuesday)
Yum!!!!
The Bourbon St webcam is gonna be lit after the game, methinks
(Note to self: remember to dangle some beads in front of KK if you get on the Super Bowl Zoom tonight)
For the Cuban sandwich nachos, we used this recipe, but with one important change.
Instead of combining Old El Paso taco seasoning and mustard for the rub, we put the pork butt in a ziploc and added mojo criollo, then put it in the sous vide at 165F for sixteen hours.
Between the bourbon, beer, and barbecue, a good time should be had by all.
Wait! Cubano nachos? Never heard of them, now I want.
*Homer drool*
That marinade will be tried! Thanks!
It’s easy to make your own — if you can’t find sour orange, you can use two parts orange juice to one part lime juice to make your own.
If you don’t feel like making your own, mojo is easily found online or in any Latin American grocery store.
I shoulda made deviled eggs.
Me too. 🤤
I have a working clock I wired and coded myself on a breadboard. I’ve only used 964 bytes of the 1kB storage, and I have three I/O pins remaining, so I can add the last two features – a seconds reset button and a switch to disable to time set buttons (one to get a more accurate time, and the other to avoid accidentally changing the time) That won’t take up all that much more space, since they’re additions to exisitng code blocks. Still, the current version has stayed just a few seconds off from my computer time.
Nice. Now get some Nixie tubes to wire up your clock display. That will change how you communicate with your display to show time. Will also be fun.
That’s later on in the future. (Time was one of the things my ill-defined nixie project was going to display)
First I want to solder this onto a protoboard.
Next up, researching bank vaults?
Nah, that was years ago.

Just made a beer run to Smith’s (They are closest). The deli counter and chicken fryer are just inside the front door, so you get a snootful of fried chicken as you enter. I thought I might as well see what they had in the way of cold chicken. I only like dark meat, so I don’t ordinarily bother looking because the packages seem to always be breast/wing/leg. Today, they had boxes of “leg quarters” which I don’t remember ever seeing before, anywhere. Leg and thigh together. Very tasty, indeed. I hope they are a regular thing. That could get me back more often.

They couldn’t find a more repugnant singer to sing America the Beautiful.
But Reba is cool
You can tell her voice is weak and that it is worn out.
Well she *is* 68 years old.
At least she knows enough to start the anthem at a low enough register that she will be able to handle the high notes.
You haven’t heard me sing.
No facial tattoos would already be an improvement.
I don’t have any tattoos at all.
Taylor Swift?
No. He was utterly repugnant.
I prefer his pre post malone works.
I didn’t notice. I was still swooning from the Black National Anthem.
My favorite version is by RUN-DMC
Roseanne Barr ?
It was a perfectly cromulent version of the song, other than fuck that jingoism shit, I’m not going to shit on the dude because he has face tats and a grille.
Will this be utterly intolerable?
Don’t worry. We’ll snark our way through it.
So far, yes.
Even the commentary has been what I expected.
Westwood One has too many Pfizer commercials.
Boner or myocarditis?
The latter.
Hard to tell… every time I flip over it’s a commercial.
Dq Fuq? I added code, how is it 150 bytes smaller?
Because it doesn’t work anymore.
So, If I reference an input pin that doesn’t have an interrupt enabled for it, the compiler/optimizer goes “Welp, that code is never going to execute” and omits it, even though that pin can have its state change extenrally – I just don’t want to trigger an event on that pin’s state change. It’s a switch to enable or disable setting the time. Maybe I just have to have its interrupt event do nothing.
Well, turning on interrupts for the pin the switch feeds got it past the compiler and now the buttons only change the time when the switch is on. Good.
But the bounce sensitivity has gone way up. Bad.
I still have some wiggle room to add some debouncing code. Meh.
We break things to learn how they work.
I’ve broken this clock code a lot.
🙁
All of the methods I’ve tried to debounce the inputs has resulted in them simply not working. I can see that it does run through the code since the delay causes a flicker in the output display, but the action from the button doesn’t execute.
W00T!
I fixed it. The output still flickers, but I get 1:1 updates of the time value per intentional button press, and it only registers button presses when the switch is on.
🥳
Cleared up the flicker, and the debouncing appears to be working correctly.
I think I’ve done it.
Cutting it close on the space though (I had to rework some of the existing code to get it back under the 1kB limit)
GO NINERS!!!11
There is only one team, The Golden Firsters. We stand against all seconds.
You would know this, but you are a fraud.
I’d like to see Purdy get the ring. It would be a real underdog story.
He plays for the favorite team, but I know what you mean about not being a big name at the beginning of the season.
He was literally the last guy drafted. To be the starting QB in the Super Bowl is damn impressive.
Seeing people talk about what he supposedly isn’t has pissed me off. I’ve seen this story before. It really does remind me of Brady. Does he go onto that career? Unlikely not. But the guy can play, and if he was a first round pick everyone would be fitting him for a golden jacket already.

Met up with a girl for lunch, she tried to get me to go to church with her. Didn’t even try to get to know me at all, just kept talking about how much I needed Jesus in my life.

San Francisco’s national reputation has plunged since the pandemic began, and many residents say they are frustrated by how their beloved city is being viewed.
I can’t imagine why people see SF that way. I have to go there later this year for business. I hope to have my CCW by then.
Most cities, including NYC, don’t have the worst of the decay butting right up against City Hall and the Financial District and major shopping in nearly the same way that SF does.
Put simply, you cannot live there and avoid it. Because in almost every direction, except North, you have to travel through the shittiest of shitty neighborhoods.

I thought it creative.
It stayed positive, did not discuss his policies, stayed high-action and tied him to his heritage as a Kennedy. Whoever put it together had a talented group.
There. Moj gets a lifeline.
Yup. One score game and I believe KC gets the ball after halftime.
Kennedy for Prez ad is far and away the best thus far. It looks like they pirated one of his uncle’s ads from 1960.
They did, that was a great idea.
I didn’t get it. Unless the entire point was ‘hey I’m related to those old Kennedys that you people used to like’
And I’d assume any probable voter already knew that, seemed kinda useless to me.
It was fun, friendly, not angry, and reminds people of better times.
It was a great commercial.
I guess I’ll have to give it another viewing, I’m working as I watch so it didn’t have my full attention.

Similar to Biden’s intellectual capacity. It’s also got a few less potato chips in the bag.
You sir, win the Internet today
These two things can’t be true at the same time.
Unless you’re not measuring food prices in your inflation index—oh, wait.
The media also dishonestly implies that if the rate of inflation is falling (but still above zero), prices should be falling, with the further implication that it’s the fault of the people charging the prices for not having falling prices.
Yep, Australia and New Zealand both have “independent” watchdogs investigating grocery chains for price-gouging.
not to bolster Biden, but I think they mean it this way
suppose:
inflation for year 1 = 10%
inflation for year 2 = 10%
inflation for year 3 = 0%
then you could say with a straight face that inflation is at a three-year low even while prices are up 21%
something something lies, damn lies, and….something
we could talk about price level to be clear, but everyone has a different reference point, so it doesn’t tell the kids anything if we say a buck today is worth $1.82 in 2000 dollar
for my money (pardon the pun), none of the political arm-wrestling means anything: fiat money gonna depreciate, and large government is stupid, so there are no points for either party or any president to make; if anything, Republicans look dumber to me pretending Sleepy Joe is the original monster when Democrats have never proven any grasp of economics: Republicans are just as bad at paper-printing, but they know better
Why come the prices don’t come down? Tis a mystery. They know exactly what they mean and are being intentionally misleading. That’s why the lead paragraph cites corporate greed.
Some prices have, huevos para ejemplo. and from what I can tell many other prices have stabilized at about 15-20% over what they were pre covid.

I expect a bunch of bad officiating in the 2nd half giving the advantage to KC.
Between Mahomes being “just black enough” and the Kelce/Swift media draw (and him being pissy in the 1st half), media has already decided KC will win.
Kinda like the NCAA and ‘Bama.
Meh, it’s not my kind of music but it didn’t suck. Nice production had what I assumed were some surprise guest performers, better than the football game so far, anyway.
The surprise guest was the streaker.

Pluto TV has had two ads now. Go Pluto!
Their previous logo was better.
Agreed.
They are awesome.
‘Walker Texas Ranger’ doesn’t belong on the Western TV channel, other than that Pluto is great.
They have a Baywatch channel and two Star Trek channels. They are gods among men.
‘Walker, Texas Ranger’ is not a western television show, it is a crime drama, it belongs on the same channel as ‘Murder, She Wrote’, not with ‘Have Gun Will Travel’

It’s a good last quarter only because it’s close, the rest of the game blew.
“Box containing seventy nine mail-in touchdowns discovered post-game, Joe Biden has won the SuperBowl.”
As it is not invested in either team this is the best possible outcome. If there the Bears were playing I would want an extremely boring reenactment of their last win.
Why watch the game? I get play by play from the happiest people anywhere!
Cheers!
Where’s everybody on the zooms?
Can’t join the zooms til after the Superb Owl
My squares came in 9 and 9. But I’m not sure what the plan is for overtime or do we just split the pot as normal and whatever the score at the end of the game doesn’t matter.
Every board I’ve ever been on is the last score is the final score even if it goers to OT. no ties , if you had 9/9 you’re fucked.
That could be for the final jackpot but we had a smaller amount for the quarters. We’ll have to talk it over tomorrow. This was with work people.
I’m pretty sure this game isn’t a psyop.
WHAT A 180 YEAR OLD MARTIN GUITAR SOUNDS LIKE
For a moment I read that as “Martian” guitar.
Now that’s cool.
To take a break from the clock project, I poked around the random assorted bits I’d collected, and found an Optocoupler in one of the boxes. I’d never heard of them before, so I figured I’d look into it.
I ran into the problem that Transistors make no goddamn sense.
Kelce is gross.
Welp. There goes the high-quality fireworks in my neighborhood!
Glad you survived your heart stress test.
GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY!!!!111!
Congrats to Chiefs. Wish Andy had stayed in Philly.
I was rooting for fewer commercials from those players all next year. Oh well.
I was rooting for the 49ers, but… dumb penalties and mental mistakes.
Why were there so many ads for movies I will never see? Has it always been thus?
Yessir. It has.
Anheuser Busch ads were weak.
Done with booking hotels for my trip to Japan in March. I’ll stay in Sapporo, Tokyo, Kanazawa, Kyoto, Tokyo and Yokohama.

Any ryokan?
RFKJr weighs in on his SuperBowl ad.
So what was actually in the ad that he’d need to disown it?
Nothing, I thought. It was a very nice, classy ad.
People need to stop apologizing over nothing. It was a great ad, probably the best I’d seen from any presidential candidate this cycle. His family is making him feel guilty about it to get the ad pulled because it would otherwise be very effective against Biden.
Shpip’s party was fun. His wife is nice and a good cook. Also, I learned the amusing story behind his glib username. His friends were pleasant as well. He also gave me a tip on a place nearby where I can hunt wild hogs. I’d prefer to use a spear and a knife, but I can use my lever action if I must.

If I bag a hog, I will donate the meat to Shpip and submit a post about my experience.
It’s great you guys got to meet.
Sounds like he put on a good feast.
Happy Monday morning!

Good morning, Sean, rhy, Ted’S., U, and Lack!
I think I actually slept through the night last night, although I still got to bed rather later than I should have. Still, I don’t remember waking, looking at my alarm clock and saying, “Seriously? It’s only X:XX a.m.??” I count that as a win!
😴
U! Wake up! Time to eat your cheese curds!
*blinks*… but I’m at my desk, I don’t have to be alert enough to drive anymore…
As soon as you’ve had your breakfast, you can go back to sleep.
Technically, today’s a holiday, but they went and made it a floating holiday.
🙁
Super Bowl Monday??
Lincoln’s Birthday.
Oh, OK. Do you have next Monday, too? That’s the Fed holiday.
Yes. The state offices are closed for that.
That’s why Lilcon’s Birthday is inevitably one of the floating holidays every year. They tend to always be the same ones (Lincoln, Election day, etc) but since it’s a contract memorandum rather than legislation, the determination has to be officially made each and every year.

On the bright side, the snow seems to be moving a bit south.
The amount being forecast for me has already halved since last night.
Have to go into the office…
Be back after the commute.
Well, I’m back, with cheese. 🧀
Well, cheese curds. But that’s still cheese.
I bought more than average amount of cheese this weekend. All different types.
Is there any left?
I’m only halfway through my breakfast – why am I full?
All the anger and hate that you’ve swallowed?

I’ve had their stuff. (the local butcher sells it). The price to flavor ratio isn’t that favorable. (they’re expensive for what you get). It’s okay, and would be great at a slightly lower price point.

Sup Tres.
Nothing is afoot here in the PAC NW. no sign even of Steve Smith. Presumably he’s working in his presidential campaign.
