An actual photo of OMWC, WebDom and myself.
We’ve got a catering gig at the shop tonight. A bunch of people young enough that all will be carded on their way in the door. WebDom holding forth as the matriarch of the facility, OM and I will be wandering around with a disapproving eye.
Links?
Can we just get on with it already. You know it’s coming. We know it’s coming. The breathless headlines have gotten obnoxious.
I feel I may have missed my calling.
It would be awesome if the rest followed suit, but they won’t. And Google will eventually cave.
Okay, off to do some prep work and load the cooler with beer. Y’all have a great evening!
It’s not Thanksgiving, but this seems appropriate.
Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to war we go?
OM and I will be wandering around with a disapproving eye.
Does the disapproving eye shoot laser beams?
I believe Disapproving Eye turns the target into a pillar of salt.
Is “disapproving” a new euphemism for “pervvy”?
I will not deny there are a couple of young ladies that can easily turn an eye.
Pics?

Not to worry, if there’s anyone who can deescalate the situation, it’s…. Not Joe Biden.
Iranians are due for a serious scolding, maybe a letter in their permanent file.
At least we won’t have to worry about inflation, the war will be a job creator, just as Joe has promised.
And some people were laughing at the premise. Take that Donnie!
Added bonus: the US might be at war come November, and we all know that “you don’t change horses mid-stream.”
Stick with the tried-and-true leadership of Commander Joe!
Yo Joe!

It took a bit of searching before I could find a news article with a picture of the perp.
Undoubtedly one of those Swedes, or maybe a Finn. Rowdy lot, those.
I wonder why other news outlets haven’t run with the photo of the murderer?
Is it one of those mysterious situation where the stabby fellow is shouting about a Hawaiian snackbar? Yeah who know what the motive is… its a complete enigma.
Rugby fans?
He’s been named – Joel Cauchi.
The interwebs say that’s a Maltese last name, so wrong kinda swarthy.
Random nutter.
Any suggested motive?
Crazy person is crazy.

Well, I did have the benefit of running into a couple of former neighbors (although I actually had dinner with them just last night LOL)

I did my test drive for a time lapse road trip.
Of three videos, I got – Zero actual time lapses.
When you turn it on, it always defaults to standard video mode instead of your last mode. So I have several hours of 1:1 video of driving the backroads.
When you do switch to time lapse mode, the default is “Time Warp” which automatically throttles up and down the timing ratio. So all of the driving which was the point of the video whipped by at lightning speed while the start and end ran at realtime.
I have found where to tell it to just do a time lapse, but now I need a new test.
On the plus side, the video image is fantastic.
On my way back from Cleveland I was bored. And I learned the Challenger has a 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile, 0-60, timer.
Since Ive been driving the POS Envoy™ or the G-Wagen® (2000 Tracker) I have yet to try it out. But its back to the (216) early Monday….

Pandemic of frauds
“Keith Berman, 70, of Westlake Village, California, pleaded guilty last December to securities fraud totaling around $28 million.
The Justice Department said that from February through December 2020, Berman falsely claimed his Decision Diagnostics company had developed a 15-second test to detect COVID-19 in a finger prick sample of blood when, in reality, no such test existed.
Berman defrauded investors to profit from the pandemic,” Nicole Argentieri, head of the Justice Department’s criminal division, said in a statement.
Too bad everybody who lied to profit from the plague isn’t headed for the slammer.
Pandemic of frauds
The, uh, preferred nomenclature is “scamdemic”. The Chinaman Scamdemic, it really pulled the room together.
Rug pissers, Dude
What the mother fucken fuck. Only that bullshit test gets flagged?
It’s your basic securities fraud. The $28m came from investors.
https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/biotech-ceo-pleads-guilty-covid-19-securities-fraud-scheme
Could have been any diagnostic “holy grail” COVID was just an easy one.
This sounds like Theranos all over again. Read the newspaper people!
I have found where to tell it to just do a time lapse, but now I need a new test.
Is there a way to specify “frames per second” or does it just have a single Speedy Gonzales mode.
I did find where to set the image frequency, it’s hidden on the real time lapse mode rather than the default time warp garbage.
I had a stick on windshield camera that recorded in real time, it swiveled so in the event of a traffic stop one could turn it to the window and record the transaction. I used on the trip to Canada, then used anything with moose/bear as add-ons to the fishing video Recorded the cockpit audio at the same time.
The instructions said if a person was involved in an alleged at fault incident probably not to mention it to your insurance company . It was fun to play with, I discreetly recorded the immigration people on the Canadian side.
Conviction for what? I’m not even sure what this one is about. Is this the hush money thing? Which isn’t illegal?
It was illegal when NY made it illegal for one man
I guess I’ll add “devastating” to my list of words that no longer have meaning.
“Devastating” is the “mansplaining” equivalent of software devs conveying their process to managers/coworkers.
Example: “Don’t devastate HTTP requests to me, I understand network protocols just fine TYVM.”
And it’s as if this is going to move the needle on anything. Who is the population of otherwise undecides that are hinging their vote on if Trump paying of some hooker to keep her trap shut is some sort of campaign finance violation?
Conviction for being Trump.
I did find where to set the image frequency, it’s hidden on the real time lapse mode rather than the default time warp garbage.
Good. you can play with it to find a speed you like.
Two situations (three if you include the PRC’s desigins on Taiwan and/or the Spratley’s that have a chance to escalate into global conflicts…. but hey no mean tweets.
(I know there is a chance that any of this still pops off but, IMO, the odds go down when a recalcitrant orange dickhead is weilding the big stick.)
“There’s no telling what Trump will do! We haven’t bribed him, so we should probably just keep our heads down.”
Spud, if you get caught oogling a young woman, just say that you were doing a safety inspection.
Or blame OM.
Or, even better, give her your best STEVE SMITH impersonation. It’ll be a hoot.
Just give them an ocular pat down.

There goes my night.
I dont think Ive had enough to drink. Started watching, appreciated the nostalgia, then had to walk out.
/clicked off
Hey! Save that walkout for this Thursday.
My Firestick went tits up today. 😲
Back up installed. Made it half way through Fallout episode 2 before my trapped out. 😞
So both are dead?
Is your TV killing them?
Definitely. Check the power plug you are using. If you have another 5V USB plug, use that. If you have been using your TV, be aware it may not be able to supply enough current so over time you get a fail. This Is The Way.
My gf is feeling better 😋. The Fire stick will be retired.
I think based on this evenings activities, we can confirm one thing. The ayatollahs read Glibertarians.com. As for the action, Iran was treading lightly.

Wowza!
Iran used to be our ally, I think. Iran and Israel used to have a good relationship.
When 9/11 happened, while Palestinians were dancing for joy in the streets, the people of Iran were holding candlelight vigils.
The US FedGov has ruined everything in the world. At least, it’s intelligence services have.
Iran used to be our ally – under the Shah.
Then the Ayatollahs took over and they’ve been chanting “Death to America” since. No Iranian Regime since 1979 has been friendly to us.
As for the view of the average Iranian, I don’t have enough data.
With 1979 likely being 2 generations behind them, I doubt the average Iranian knows any different.
The U.S. severed relations with Iran in 1979 after the embassy raid and hostages.
Prior to that the U.S. and CIA propped up the shah under the guise of stability.
So citation needed for the vigil please.
Jimmy Carter, in spite of his bad record, I think had the balls to immediately kick out of the country all Iranian students, tourists, and business people on visas for w/e.
And I think our bureau of immigration rounded most of them up and shipped them out.
Now we’d put them up in a hotel and give them a prepaid debit card.
Speaking of getting kicked out

I know that many of you paranoid weirdoes wont click through to Twitter – It’s some bloodied MMA fighter ranting after his victory- “If you care about your fucking country, read Ludwig von Mises and the six lessons of the Austrian economic school, motherfuckers.”

Note the large Japanese tire company sponsorship just off his face.
Alice’s Restaurant has to be one of the worst songs ever.
It’s not so much a song as shaggy dog story set to crappy folk acoustic guitar. There are many worse songs, see the entire catalog of The Grateful Dead, Jimmy Buffet, Bob Marley, and The Beach Boys (Natch)
No love for the Beach Boys? The long time president of their fan club was (still is?) a libertarian activist, Alice Lillie.
Oh, there are many songs that are much worse. And you do realize you’ve just lit the Ted’S. signal, right?
“Alice’s Restaurant” as a song is really just a framing device of sorts for the story.
And they all moved away from him on the group W bench…..
Ok, Jaimee.
I’ve temporarily suspended my bottom shelf liquor bottles for one a row or three up. Old Forester single barrel is grand. Especially with ice or water.
Gun Glibz:
I’ve got the itch for a good old fashioned wood stock bolt action. I wanna get a high velocity varminter mostly cause I just like shooting high velocity stuff and it’s good for prairie dogs. I really want a 220 Swift but they are harder to find than a nun on OnlyFans (as in, probably not impossible but really difficult). The 22-250 is the obvious alternative, but for some reason I can’t get excited about it.
Thoughts?

Nothing wrong with the Swifties. Some are even Taylor made.
I’ve absolutely no practical use for one, but I’ve been thinking the same thing. I’m looking at a .204 Ruger, simply because I saw a few YouTube videos of the cartridge turning prairie dogs into pink mist.
204 River flies like a laser until about 300 yards before dropping off a table. Will jack a coyote up at that distance too.

WHO WANTS CHILIEN SEA BASS
I fondled several chicken butts today.
I might be a pervert.
Several of my new hens had developed the dreaded “pasty butt”, their cloaca had been so covered in poop that they had a hard time delivering eggs. The solution was to soak them in warm water, fondle their bottoms, and then dry them in a towel.
I will check results tomorrow.
Results: Pistoffnick develops Salmonella.
I don’t need to hear these things.

The shirts, the masks, the faux Palestinian garb, the chant in support of Irangarbage,
Can’t be real…. can it?
Those are real people who are very good at doing what they’re told. So head activist told them all what to chant, and they did so without much thought otherwise.
A short looped video without any context., other than the text?

https://twitter.com/Olivia_Reingold/status/17792851673k13400246?s=19
This was their immediate reaction to the news of a large scale attack on Israel by Iran, coordinated across several proxy groups and from Iran proper. This is an eyewitness account.
Plus, respirator chick.
“Dear Penthouse, I was in the room with far-left organizers…”
Yout link. It is broken.

Olivia Reingold is the writer.
I am getting the old “page does not exist” error. Regardless of browser. Maybe because I am not a member?
I don’t have any reason to doubt this. It’d be a rather strange thing to fake. You’d have to quickly gather a group of people together, plaster them in left wing slogans and they’d have to look like every trope of left wing activist you can think of, and then have them chant this?
The odds are higher it’s the real deal. This isn’t confirmation bias. Just an objective reading of the situation.
I was more remarking on all of reality, I think. Every day, it gets more implausible.
With the death of OJ, it’s a time to remind people that not only were a large chunk of black folks hoping he’d get off, they celebrated when that verdict was announced;
Hands off Iran is relatively tame. They could have just cheered and called for death to the Jews.
The OJ trial was perhaps the greatest educational moment of my life. Until I watched my friends completely believe the unbelievable, and then switch belief just a few months later, I never understood Nazis or Jim Crow era juries or any such group beliefs that seemed impossible.
Until that moment, I assumed that racist juries knew full well what they were doing, and there was just a wink and a nod.
But the OJ trial showed me that people will believe absolutely anything they have to believe. Tribal instincts are extremely strong, and it seems that survival demands that we believe what our tribe needs us to believe, without any question…. absolutely.
Suddenly things made a lot more sense, even as they became more complicated. We are not the rational beings I had always believed us to be.

That’s a shame. I liked him.
So I’m seeing on the X that the question is being asked something like Israel or Iran, where do you stand?
I’m pretty sure it doesn’t matter where anyone stands, we’ll end up paying for both sides with our tax dollars.
If we aren’t already.
We freed up quite a bit of money for Iran for no good reason. It just happened to precede the attack on Israel. The press didn’t see fit to ask any questions about that.
And, oh yea, there was the billions paid to get our hostages back.
Then there’s the direct aid we provide to Hamas. Purely humanitarian, of course, just like that money we sent to Iran for the hostages. Money isn’t at all fungible or anything.
And yet so many in Israel want to pay that price.
Somehow I don’t think it will be acceptable to blame them after the *next* round of hostage taking.
