I spotted the first Harris signs in the wild today – next to a “No on Prop 1” sign. Even in the lefty neighborhoods where people have heard of the proposition, they don’t want it.
We have one in my neighborhood. Never actually seen the people in a year either so can assume snowbirds who put out the sign and have migrated south a couple weeks ago.
I can go either way on NH. In my neck of the woods, there aren’t as many Harris/Walz signs out as there in 2024 were Biden/Harris and Obama/Biden (*) signs in 2020. There are more houses with Trump signs in 2024 than there were in 2020.
Trump, in polling/canvassing earlier in 2024, did poorly among independents in NH, but some of his recent moves might change that.
Since you’re in NH, we should get some folks together. I think I still have an e-mail for you. I’ll check. throby455 AT proton DOT me is one you can you use for me.
(*) My one neighbor didn’t have a Biden/Harris sign up in 2020. They had a Obama/Biden sign out. They weren’t the only ones I saw doing that.

It appears that the student’s vote can’t be nullified after the fact and will be counted.
Washtenaw County Clerk Lawrence Kestenbaum told CNN ballots can’t be retrieved once they have gone through the tabulator. Unlike vote-by-mail, ballots cast at in-person voting locations don’t contain any identifying information about the individual voter, making it impossible to determine which one belonged to the student, Kestenbaum said.
“There’s a box of ballots underneath the tabulator and all of the ballots — they all look the same … there’s no way to go back and undo it,” Kestenbaum said in an interview.
What do you mean? Do you think people have the impression that Vivek Ramaswamy works part time collecting garbage?
“We are not garbage. We are taking out the garbage.”

Every news organization and democrat operative just spent the last 48 hours loudly proclaiming that calling people garbage is the worst, most heinous thing there is. And no, you don’t get to say it was just some comedian or that it was a joke… everyone who associates with you is your responsibility.
And then the president calls Trump and all of his supporters garbage. And not a joke.
So Trump gets off his plane in Milwaukee and hops in a MAGA garbage truck.
That is as deft a move as I have seen in my lifetime.
You got “I knew John F Kennedy. He was a friend of mine. And you are not John F Kennedy”

Hell, even being parks director would be a step in the right direction.

Yep. Donald Trump is an eighties-to-nineties era Democrat, except for the free trade issue, which has been traditionally a part of the Democrat Party platform.
Pro-abortion, pro-union, pro-FedGov largesse…
Hillary Clinton was an ideologue, but Bill never really was. He was adaptable to the situation, and made “conservative” decisions while billing them as Democrat ideas.
“Abortions should be safe, legal, and rare.”
He passed NAFTA (which isn’t truly free trade, granted, but was billed as lowering obstacles to trade).
He signed a massive capital gains tax cut that I think was part of why the Internet revolution was so successful.

Thought we’d have a game. We did not. Just submitted a player who can walk through a level. 7 days for beginners, not easy. Kids and I are looking at other contests we can join though.
So, the other day I microwaved a pile of chocolate chips, spooned some peanut butter on it, microwaved the whole thing some more, worked the melted chocolate over the peanut butter, and put it in the fridge.
Tasty, but hard as a rock.
I was looking up recipes for something similar, and the closest I could find is a three ingredient recipe—chocolate chips, peanut butter, and confectioner’s sugar.
I don’t see the sugar as necessary.
What I want is something to keep the melted-then-refrigerated chocolate from breaking one’s teeth, and I haven’t taken a cooking class to know this sort of stuff.
Would adding butter to the chocolate do anything? It seems like it would keep the chocolate relatively soft, but for all I know it would make the chocolate inedible.
Maybe refined coconut oil?
Speaking of which, I used some to make pan-cooked popcorn earlier, and it was delicious.
You put one pot with water in it on the stove, put a metal bowl in that pot and let the steam off the water gently heat the chocolate.
Just use an oven mitt to hold the bowl and you’re golden. You can use the same bowl to mix in your peanut butter and have the same amount of cleanup as the microwave with better results.
This is what people are seeing. The benefit of the doubt is given to one group of folks and a full-on thermonuclear war against the other. I am calling it, it’s the rural uprising of 2024

The Los Angeles Dodgers are World Series champions after winning a thrilling Game 5 at Yankee Stadium.
After falling behind 5-0 early, the Dodgers took advantage of a miscue-filled fifth-inning by the New York Yankees to even the score before finally pulling ahead in the eighth inning.

I just want to throw a boot thru the tv. Trump is praising Carter as he didn’t let in millions of illegals including criminals and people from mental institutions… is the Mariel Boatlift memory holed already?

“After reviewing the Qualified Voter File (QVF) of votes actually cast as of yesterday, Oct 29, 2024, the database identifies 114,545 Michigan voters who have cast 279,113 ballots from multiple addresses across the state. This results in 164,568 excess ballots as of 10/29/2024. Below is one Voter ID”
And this is but one example. IMO the Harris campaign didn’t pull ads from Michigan because it was a lost cause; they pulled ads because it is in the bag.
Well, thanks! Yesterday I relearned how to print expense checks at work during Reliable Coworker’s absence. That will come in handy today when I have to print a small (<$30) check to the IRS as a penaltax for the times our employer 401(k) contributions were late because our payroll processor and our retirement investment company couldn't settle on the method of transmitting the money. 🙄
I overslept, and I’m getting exasperated with one of my direct reports. He can’t seem to get his head around the concept of writing a document for someone else. No, your scatterbained notes do not help other teams or new hires understand what’s going on.
More seriously, one of my guys wrote too much and I had to ask him to trim that document down, the other wrote too little andI had to ask him to expand upon what was on the page.
I expected nothing less and by the looks of it, neither did those businesses as they boarded up in the event *checks notes* LA wins so it means we must loot?

Trump already smashed the Republican Party in 2016. In 2024, he’s smashing the Democratic Party.
We are seeing ‘the parties switched’ in real-time.
We really are. The working class seems to be flipping, or have flipped. And “common knowledge” about racial voting blocks is changing, too. It’s interesting times. In four years I fully expect the stupid party to completely fuck it up and everything reverts back to “normal”.
Yep. Donald Trump is an eighties-to-nineties era Democrat, except for the free trade issue, which has been traditionally a part of the Democrat Party platform.
Pro-abortion, pro-union, pro-FedGov largesse…
Hillary Clinton was an ideologue, but Bill never really was. He was adaptable to the situation, and made “conservative” decisions while billing them as Democrat ideas.
“Abortions should be safe, legal, and rare.”
He passed NAFTA (which isn’t truly free trade, granted, but was billed as lowering obstacles to trade).
He signed a massive capital gains tax cut that I think was part of why the Internet revolution was so successful.
The only party switch I’ve seen is the Republicans become the Democrats from the 90s and the Democrats tack farther left.
“Take it over from inside the establishment”
That’s what Trump is trying to do to the Republicans. The rank-and-file pols like McConnell are fighting him all the way, to the point that they’re starving less swampy (R) candidates like Cruz of funds just so they can remain in charge of the Loser Party.
When Gary Johnson polled high enough to get into the debates they switched it to you had to poll that in THE RIGHT polls. They gatekeep the shit out of 3rd parties.
You know that Fortnite map that Kamala endorsed? Not guns. She is terrible at this and yes..her campaign is ran by 20 year old children.

So what do the do…. just pickaxe each other to death? That is even more grizzly if you want to play this reality metaphor out…..
No clue but out of *checks notes* 200 million players which 60% are American and ~25% are of voting aged….not good. 400 players? Shit, I may get that on my game where its just walking around.
Why does spell-check or whatever ‘corrects’ spelling constantly misspell ‘grisly’ as ‘grizzly’? I have seen it so many times all over the internet it’s become completely unbearable.
unbearable
What you did there was seen.
Thought we’d have a game. We did not. Just submitted a player who can walk through a level. 7 days for beginners, not easy. Kids and I are looking at other contests we can join though.
Good luck. We’re all (still) counting on you.
I agree…. there is a huge political realignment underway. And it is global.
The establishment has become so entrenched at feeding from the public trough, they are detached from the people.
But they have all the power. Every institution is fully captured.
They are ever so close to closing the door on us and making Big Brother a reality.
I don’t know if it is too late. But if Harris wins, it is definitely too late.
So, the other day I microwaved a pile of chocolate chips, spooned some peanut butter on it, microwaved the whole thing some more, worked the melted chocolate over the peanut butter, and put it in the fridge.
Tasty, but hard as a rock.
I was looking up recipes for something similar, and the closest I could find is a three ingredient recipe—chocolate chips, peanut butter, and confectioner’s sugar.
I don’t see the sugar as necessary.
What I want is something to keep the melted-then-refrigerated chocolate from breaking one’s teeth, and I haven’t taken a cooking class to know this sort of stuff.
Would adding butter to the chocolate do anything? It seems like it would keep the chocolate relatively soft, but for all I know it would make the chocolate inedible.
Maybe refined coconut oil?
Speaking of which, I used some to make pan-cooked popcorn earlier, and it was delicious.
Chocolate seizes up as it comes back to room temp. What are you trying to do?
Mimic Reese’s PB cups, without the cups.
I usually just get a spoonful of peanut butter and dump chocolate chips on top of it.
I might just melt the chips and plop some peanut butter on it, but not refrigerate it.
Are you attempting to make a paste of the chocolate to mix with peanut butter?
Also: semi-sweet or milk chocolate?
Peanut butter balls
How this inst a SP reference I will never know.
That sound delicious, and exhausting.
I don’t want a double-pan (or whatever it’s called.
That’s too much work, plus more clean-up.
I’m being lazy.
Microwave some choco-chips, toss in some PB. Profit.
It’s a double boiler.
You put one pot with water in it on the stove, put a metal bowl in that pot and let the steam off the water gently heat the chocolate.
Just use an oven mitt to hold the bowl and you’re golden. You can use the same bowl to mix in your peanut butter and have the same amount of cleanup as the microwave with better results.
^^^^
Try heavy cream. Beat vigorously.
😐
Post video and profit!
+1 food pron.
Scientific fact: chocolate tastes better when it’s melted.
Economic fact, chocolate is tied to coffee/tea on the open market.
OK, I see all these high tech solutions. Now I am going to tell you the secret. The redneck way.
You get a spoon
A jar of peanut butter.
A bottle of Hershey syrup
A banana
Put on a good show. Peel the banana
Dig a half spoon of peanut butter. Fill the other half with chocolate. Enjoy a couple of delicate mouthfuls
Get a fresh spoon of peanut butter. Load the end of the banana. Yum
Now you have a scoop shaped end of the banana where you bit it. Fill with chocolate.
Continue as your palate demands. Pure peanut butter. Pure chocolate. It’s all good.
You don’t have to live in a trailer park to enjoy the finer things in life.
*hard salute*
Harris squares up Ahhhnold.
Trump squares up Buzz Aldrin
I mean, the choice is clear!
So he’s sewn up the votes from the Moon and Mars now?
If it mean we get three-titted ladies..Go Aldrinschnegger!
Fuck both the Yankees and the Dodgers.
But mostly the Yankees.
I will enjoy the tears of their shitty fans if they lose the series at home.
#metoo
This is what people are seeing. The benefit of the doubt is given to one group of folks and a full-on thermonuclear war against the other. I am calling it, it’s the rural uprising of 2024
Partial Breach of Election Machine Passwords in Colorado Poses No Risk, State Says\
You know what kinda trouble I’d be in if I kept passwords for the system I maintain on a hidden tab in Excel?
Cherry on top? Same lady who made the bold move and unilaterally removed Trump from the primary ballots.
First…why do you have over 600 BIOS passwords. Second…BIOS passwords would only lead to bricking the system, not lead to much more.
You could tell it to boot from alternate source, then use said alternate source to do anything to the main system.
GOP putting that foot down
She is the walking embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
She is also the quintessential childless cat lady/White slut demo.
Ass Wednesday After Dark is not garbage, though it does have junk in the trunk.

Wow. That’s art.
Well, it is in Black and White!
The early aughts web cartoon Homestar Runner is an inspiration of mine, and they still do a Halloween cartoon some years later after the creators moved onto other projects. They knocked it out of the park this year.

My internet is down. Does anyone have the score for the Dodger game?
The Los Angeles Dodgers are World Series champions after winning a thrilling Game 5 at Yankee Stadium.
After falling behind 5-0 early, the Dodgers took advantage of a miscue-filled fifth-inning by the New York Yankees to even the score before finally pulling ahead in the eighth inning.
https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/41942826/2024-world-series-game-5-los-angeles-dodgers-new-york-yankees-updates-analysis-takeaways
Dodgers: 7
Yankees: 6
The score is fuck the Dodgers.
15 nil love
Who cares about a garbage team?
The Dodgers are my team-in-law.
Husband brought them to the marriage.
So, I have been noticing for weeks that every post about Trump, every post by Elon is immediately hit with a community note that turns out to be partisan nonsense. I figured it was coordinated.
And they may have exposed it here
https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1851799196447244567?s=19
Harris campaign using a discord server to coordinate attacks on X using community notes.
How can they manipulate what Trump said like that!? My word!
I just want to throw a boot thru the tv. Trump is praising Carter as he didn’t let in millions of illegals including criminals and people from mental institutions… is the Mariel Boatlift memory holed already? How TF did there get to be millions of illegals in this country for Reagan and the Congress to give amnesty to?
Overton window bro, the Republican party is now the party of Carter. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looking for the Overton horseshoe.
I have a new bottle of Stagg Jr to make it through the elections. Liking this very much.
Sounds like an S Club Party!
Ain’t no party like an S Tagg party.
78 year old climbing up into the cab of the garbage truck for the first time? Not bad at all.
Can we fucking shoot the race car drivers and bull riders already?
Bull riding is my favorite sport to watch. Those animals are majestic, and the cowboys are crazy.
This will be the cleanest election ever. NOT
Text from the twitter post:
“After reviewing the Qualified Voter File (QVF) of votes actually cast as of yesterday, Oct 29, 2024, the database identifies 114,545 Michigan voters who have cast 279,113 ballots from multiple addresses across the state. This results in 164,568 excess ballots as of 10/29/2024. Below is one Voter ID”
https://x.com/mdeperno/status/1851652442288464365
And this is but one example. IMO the Harris campaign didn’t pull ads from Michigan because it was a lost cause; they pulled ads because it is in the bag.
It was an error in how the report was built. Trump team investigated and is satisfied test no extra votes exist
That is reassuring.
Mornin Glibberati!

Are we there yet?

No, we keep turning around because people keep asking.

Mornin’
Good morning, Sean, U, Teh Hype, and DEG!
Salutations!
And good morning to you, too, cyto! How are you today?
Morning? How goes?
Well, thanks! Yesterday I relearned how to print expense checks at work during Reliable Coworker’s absence. That will come in handy today when I have to print a small (<$30) check to the IRS as a penaltax for the times our employer 401(k) contributions were late because our payroll processor and our retirement investment company couldn't settle on the method of transmitting the money. 🙄
How are you?
I overslept, and I’m getting exasperated with one of my direct reports. He can’t seem to get his head around the concept of writing a document for someone else. No, your scatterbained notes do not help other teams or new hires understand what’s going on.
I’d say fire him, but he’s GovSec.
Ugh. Where do you send a state employee for remedial written communication training?
Is this a riddle, GT? My answer is: the Corrections Department.
DOCCS is hiring Corrections Officer Trainees.
More seriously, one of my guys wrote too much and I had to ask him to trim that document down, the other wrote too little andI had to ask him to expand upon what was on the page.
As of yet undetermined.
Such a great tune. 🎶
I expected nothing less and by the looks of it, neither did those businesses as they boarded up in the event *checks notes* LA wins so it means we must loot?
