Okay, I lived in California for way too many years. Four major earthquakes off the top of my head. They can be scary. But dear lord. The North East melted the fuck down for a full six hours yesterday over a 20 second 4.8 earthquake. Turn in your man card NYC.
Links?
Oh, Vger will be making contact.
This has been in the works for some time. Evil fuckers.
If this is another Epstein disappoint, I will be pissed.
That’s what caused you to put the dress on in the first place.
Seriously, what the fuck happened to Scotland? Did centuries of shitty weather finally rot their brains? Too much peat in the scotch? I dunno, but the Scottish Enlightenment is now in the distant past.
Too bad the forecast is solid cloud cover.
Oh, on another note. OMWC is a whiny bitch. We had one bottle of wine last night, and he crawled out the door at 2100. It’s sad to watch them fade away in old age.
I am an omega level Firster.
Peerless without rival. Fighter against the second. A swearer of the blood oath to carry The First to term and unleash the raw energy that shall transform the world. The bearer of the Third Eye that allows me to traverse First and space.
You’re a delta minus.
Omega – last. Perfect Bro, just perfect.

Hmmmmm. I checked most of the boxes

Love how they want to “fix” them.
What if I dont know what my status is? what if I dont care? What if I think social hierarchies are bullshit designed to make herd animals feel like they ‘have a place’ in the herd?
bottomless drag brunches are the new norm.
Ewwwww.
… That is gross.
I think I don’t want to know what that is.
But yeah… drag and drugs and booze. Huh, coulda fooled me.
Good gravy. Those poor dipsomaniac drag queens.
The trans über alles thing has broken nice, white liberal brains exactly as it was intended to.
I read somewhere that drag, and trans, hit the single women who never had children in the mothering aspect something fierce, and that is why they both work so well as cultural hot points right now.
Forecasts are made to fail.
Unlike every other opinion I have seen here, I hope the weather is good and people enjoy it. Why is everybody so fucking down all the time?
We had a 90% eclipse here a few months ago, so if we don’t get 15 seconds or so of totality this time due to the projected cloudiness … NBD.
Why is everybody so fucking down all the time?
I call it the Black Pill Diet. Would not recommend.
I’m going to have a good time regardless. I do feel sorry for those that spent a chunk and will just get five minutes of dark and cold though. It’s still cool.
“Unlike every other opinion I have seen here, I hope the weather is good and people enjoy it.”
Yeah, that’s been kind of mystifying for me, too. Why wouldn’t I want people to see it and have a good time?
Hey…You popped on the Zoom for about 5 seconds, COME BACK!
In a bit, maybe. Just making sure it worked. SpaceX is launching from Vandenburg tonight in a few minutes (maybe probably) and I want to see if I can see it from Paulden AZ.
I haven’t seen anyone here ‘root’ for bad weather. Locally, mostly traffic concerns. Indiana is perfectly located for the eclipse and Gov. Holcomb declared a State of Emergency. Kids have the day off school, so no work!
I’ll likely watch from our balcony. We live pretty much ON the Monon Trail, but I imagine any spot to watch on it will be flooded with folk. Groceries were preemptively taken care of. I’m quite excited in my own way.
I refuse to be down all the time. I refuse the black pill.
Vibe Shift Coming.
Why is everybody so fucking down all the time?
Kneejerk contrariness.
From the dead thread … Bud Heavy has been a nickname for at least two decades now. Had a functioning alcoholic acquaintance who regularly called it that back then.
Even though I once found drag to be entertaining silliness, I binged RuPaul’s Drag Race while sewing a dress, and all I could see and feel was despair and depression. These people were not having fun and most of them didn’t seem to like themselves very much.
People pretending to be something they’re not usually aren’t happy.
Quotable.
You make them sound like strippers.
Well, I mean …
If the false eyelashes fit…
Then maybe the size 14 six inch pump will too!
Listen here, you people.
Neph graced us with his presence last night for some reason. In doing so he reminded us that 3 days ago was the 4 year anusversary of our lockdown Zoom Zoom Room.
Like, holy shit.
So, I hope y’all regulars, infrequenters, and n00bs will join us this evening for some drinking (or not) and whatever else may come.
N00bs are incredibly welcome, but you must expect to receive the standard hazing and accusations of being a Fed. It’s all in good fun, so don’t take it personally. It’s the Zoom version of “Fuck off, Tulpa!”. If your Zoom name is different than your Glibs name, expect the first thing out of someone’s mouth to be “who are you on Glibs?”
For the infrequenters, hope to see you to raise a toast!
For the regulars, I’ll see you tonight, assholes.

(I wonder when Tonio will do another cold open for us?)
I would much like to join. Especially this weekend! As I currently live at home with my parents, it’s been tricky to find manageable times to do such. This bothers me somewhat, but I’ll persevere. I’d quite enjoy to see and speak to y’all.
RC Dean made it all of 10 seconds
I made it longer! Gotta get my camera fixed. I feel so unsatisfied for y’all…
From the dead thread … Bud Heavy has been a nickname for at least two decades now.
We started calling regular Coors “Coors Heavy” shortly after Coors Light was released.
These people were not having fun and most of them didn’t seem to like themselves very much.
There was a comment here recently about someone who is “transitioning” and suddenly all I could think of was, “That’s a lot of hate.” For her/himself, and the people around him/her.
Remind me to stay away from St. Louis.
Two idiots in one trip! Something’s in the air today…
Yikes.
I like how the first idiot also knocks down the street lamp and it topples after the other action is over. Just the cherry on top.
Speaking of St Louis, it’s I Do Cars night. I think he’s going to tear down the VW motor he blew up Wednesday on the lift for demonstration purposes. There is no way any sensible person could have known there was something badly wrong with that car. Except for the horrendous racket it was making, maybe.
“It was running fine, and then it just shut off.”
I’ll be watching at some point as I do most of his stuff.
I think I’m coming amounds er around to her points er point of view.
Dutch police aren’t joking? How many times has she been arrested with no real consequences to follow? It’s all theater.
With apologies to UCS, someone else who knows how to use AI
Put it to the end of the graduate and we’ve got something

Wife brought home takeout from the Korean market. I forget t how spicy real Korean is.
As longa s you haven’t forgotten the taste of a real First.
My first was so long ago, I could be your daddy.
I was an immaculate Firstception. Even my birth was a First unlike the rest of you losers.
You could have asked Pope Jimbo.
My wife is slowly becoming a real Midwesterner. Took a long time. Now she eats very little spicy food (really spicy) though we have a refrig full of hot peppers. She told me not to plant anymore this year, she has a couple plants started of her own, says that’ll be enough fresh ones.
When she says it’s hot I believe her.
My father in law was stationed in Seoul during Vietnam, he was a A/P mech. Brought home a love of Korean food which my wife definitely shares.
Funny enough, they were both born in Detroit.
Young’s Market?
What a beautiful “prove me wrong” grift. They collect a paycheck without ever proving they are doing anything other than just making shit up.
I cannot believe I was not invited to the event of the season today. Hmph.
Meh, he’s past his prime.
…and unemployed…
Probably on Unemployment Insurance, food stamps and all the other benefits.
Is he eligible for WIC?
Someone, somewhere is not sick of dealing with his shit.
Today at Tactical Medicine we covered airway management, more heavy bleeding, triage, wound closure, and triage. After attempting to suture on one of the practice foam thingies (who knew there was such a thing?), I learned my decision to go to law school rather than medical school was the correct one. I’m quite sure I was the worst in the class. Maybe the worst ever. I might buy a stapler, which I doubt I’ll ever use because I’m scenarios in my future where I will be more than a day from professionals showing up (which is kind of the gating issue for whether you should suture/staple a wound in in the field). .
Tomorrow: Gear loadouts, mindset, and closing with three scenarios with moulaged role players.
My shopping list for a proper medium-weight trauma bag is getting pretty long. Now that I know how to use a nasopharygeal tube, an Igel airway, a chest seal bandage, etc. etc., I’m not going to stand by the side of the road and say “Welp, if I had spent the $40 I wouldn’t have to watch them die”.
Is it a red Swingline?
“Welp, if I had spent the $40 I wouldn’t have to watch them die”
Don’t vacation in Reno without a deluxe bag then.
If one of them bleeds out in training, will it be moulage red?
Moulage rouge?
That would be all the rage.
Oh, and punching large gauge needles into people’s chests for pneumothorax.
Like that scene in Pulp Fiction when he slams the syringe into her chest?
I’m quite sure I was the worst in the class
You know what they the guy who graduated last from medical

Doc Dean!
Diddy’s former bodyguard claims that he has tapes from his “freak out” sessions that include politicians and princes.
Fed honeypot take becomes more and more likely if you ask me.

Not yet, he didn’t kill himself.

Did I ever introduce you to <A HREFThe Darkness?
NOPE
Well it seemed like such a good idea at the time
Such a very, very good idea at the time
I suppose you’re free to if I’m the only one here…
I am unsure if I should be tempting you. I am not UNtempting you.
Have you heard of the doom slayer?

I’m much too drunk to do html shit.
I have heard of them. They have at least one song that I quite enjoy for what it’s going for. He has an interesting voice, in a good way.
I’m kidding, It’s all about the darkness.
Alright, Well, since you insist on being adult about it
a wise man once said ‘I’m much too drunk to do html shit.’

Anyway so here’s some more Camera Obscura

Some more
Gonna first some more in this fine AM.
Got back from the race today in one piece. The winds were high and the seas were angry my friends.
We did surprisingly well by winning our class and finishing 4th overall. We even had a gear failure (outhaul cable parting mid race) which we found a jury rig and did an in-race repair (using a reefing line as the outhaul). I was lifted off the deck by a halyard when we took a gust as I was setting a sail. The helmsman quickly adjusted course and put me back on deck so I could finish the hoist.
Now my shoulders are sore and I have a bruise forming on my inner thigh when I have no idea what I hit. We had a visiting sailor on board from the SF area and she was pleasantly surprised by the strength of the Trades and how warm the water is.
Just another fun day on the water.
Many words in there I don’t have working knowledge of. Poppee took my older bro fishing but not me. I’m not sure why. I am hilariously unable to tie knots. I CAN tie my shoes, and the one knot I CAN knot, I can double-knot. I’m very impressive. It’s pretty remarkable my handwriting is somehow better than Dad’s. I have pretty good gross motor skills, but virtually no fine ability.
I DID do a proper workout for the first time in a very long while. With free weights, I did 2.5 reps of 135 by myself. I’m quite happy with that, especially as it matches my body weight. I should make that a hobby like back in my powerlifting days. I’ll be QUITE sore tomorrow. The best was a machine that worked my inner groin. Rare, those muse muscles getting a workout. No euphemisms necessary!
Quick translation: A piece that helps hold the big sail in place broke, so we used a nearby rope that does a similar job as the replacement and fixed the boat while staying in the race.-AND- While I was pulling up the big bra shaped sail the wind shifted so the sail started to fill early lifting me (holding onto the rope) off the top of the boat and 3-4 feet into the sky. The driver steered slightly different to ease wind pressure and I returned to the top of the boat and finished pulling the sail up.
Good for you doing a proper workout.
Mornin’ all you probate and reprobates. Fine people on both sides!
To all those on either side of me.
To all those people….
Wakey, wakey!
