Since when do schools close the day before Thanksgiving? The day after I get because everyone is lined up neatly at the local Best Buy waiting for the doors to open for the epic Black Friday sale. I miss the employees cheering for their customers when they opened up but they quickly turned into one of those places that only sold things if you couldn’t wait for Amazon to ship.
Anyways…¡enlaces!
Trump the Destroyer The Orange Man is back and ready to take down everything you love! He’s going all Oprah with tariffs: Mexico, Canada, China. Maybe Palau pissed him off and they got one too.
If enacted these will affect the prices of everything between avocados and Volkswagens.
We all know why…more migrants are on the way while the CBP One App is still working. Both Mexico and Canada have suggested they will take necessary actions to avoid the tariffs.

So you’re telling me gutting the government will result in better economic outcomes?
UN troops assault Fortress Barbecue! In the interest of the lols, Barbecue escaped.
Does it feel like a Doobie Brothers type of day? No? Too bad.
“Both Mexico and Canada have suggested they will take necessary actions to avoid the tariffs.”
I think tariffs are a bargaining chip. Albeit a pretty effective one.
The Mississippi canal? Finally connecting Canada and Mexico?! BRILLIANT!
Exactly.
Don’t fret over Trump’s game with these weaker countries.
Nobody wants to fuck up the existing trade framework.
BMW (Spartanburg, SC) and Mercedes-Benz (Huntsville, AL) no longer qualify as luxury brands? Or did Reuters get the basics wrong… again?

Luxury SUVs don’t count.
I think Volvo building something around here too. Not sure if it’ll be cars or trucks.
Or did Reuters get the basics wrong… again?
Probably

Brazil is so backwards. It took them two years to figure out how to conduct lawfare on Trump of the South?
We had charges working in two weeks.
Given the corruption of their Supreme Court, it won’t end well for Bolsonaro.
It’s my last day of work this week, same for half my team. Also a slow news day. It’s been a long time since I’ve been bored. Then again, I could worry about WW III.
I started making tacos for dinner, early. It’s too slow. And I don’t want to worry about WWIII.
I found this while buying other people gifts. It’s been amusing the cats.

Jesus tapdancing Christ.
Because Massachusetts thinks I’m an irresponsible child, I had to have my new pocketknife shipped to my MIL’s in CT.
So stupid.
Here’s a funny WWIII story. The Brits and Frogs want send a combined brigade of 5,000 of their troops to save the Ukes. It’s a collapsing front 1,000 kilometers long. Most of them would be in body bags in a week.

“The talks have also been revisited amid concerns that US support for Kyiv could be pulled by president-elect Donald Trump when he enters office on January 20, sources reportedly claimed.”
That’s an interesting way of saying “negotiating a cease fire”.
In a statement, police said their probe “found the existence of a criminal organisation that acted in a coordinated manner, in 2022, in an attempt to keep the then president of the republic in power”.
Sounds like a bunch of weasel words.
It’s the Jan 6th playbook.
“found the existence of a criminal organisation that acted in a coordinated manner, in 2022, in an attempt to keep the then president of the republic in power”.
Around here we call those “political parties”.
🙁
I’ve started doing some recording for the z80 assembly video, and I’ve already gone and embarassed myself twice on “shoulda checked that first” issues.
And I don’t know if either the video or audio is any good yet.
45 minutes of just soldering pin headers – this is going to be rivetting entertainment.
Editing is your friend. Also, the embarrassing takes should make a fun blooper “reel” over the closing credits. 🎬
I had stopped talking in anticipation of fast forwarding through the bulk of the work.
Instead of one supercut of all the pieces, I’m going to have to break up the assembly into multiple videos, one per board I guess. Maybe a few simple boards in the same video, though the voiceover is going to be talking about what the board does and trying to reverse engineer how it does it to some extent.
I was hoping for cabinet announcements for Bhattacharya, Patel, and Bongino, but the week isn’t over yet.
They can’t stop all of the: with baseless sexual assault allegations.
Haven’t read any details on the Mexico/Canada tariffs yet….but I thought we were still in NAFTA. Don’t recall if we tried hitting these countries last time or not.
I don’t know if there are any details, besides “imposing lots of tariffs”. I also don’t know how this would work with NAFTA.
The tariffs are all the idiot lefties on modular synth sites can talk about right now. While threads dedicated to it, with dozens of responses. Some idiots panic buying. Some “preparing” for economic destruction because “it’s so clear that’s what his policy will bring.”
Move to Europe or STFU.
Seriously. They’re economic situation is Grrrrrrrrreat!
Think as a treaty that supersedes tariff law, so no way Jose, eh.
Does it feel like a Doobie Brothers type of day?
Why yes! Yes it does!
Gracias!
You’re welcome
slum:
No, this one.
Ah, yes.
A lotta Pilgrim State jokes when we were growing up.
On the same trip me and my buddy from Massapequa checked out Jones Beach and a couple other places too. Little tour of sorts.
Jones Beach is one of the things I miss about Long Island.
Love the Doobie Brothers.
Saw them live when Tom Johnston came back. Cycles your. Good show.
I love Michael McDonald, but for the Doobies, prefer Mr. Johnston.
RIP Jim Abrahams. I just watched Top Secret! last week.
Earl Holliman died too.
The upside of getting the stomach flu before Thanksgiving is clearing space for all the food.
Ugh! Hope you feel better ASAP! 😟
Godfuckingdammit!!!!!
Dad got here today. Brought his fucking massive camper that he doesn’t really know how to drive. Normally they call me and tell me they’re almost here. I walk out and help him back in.
Today he neglects to call me, and instead parks the camper in the front grass (completely unnecessary since I live on a very not busy side street with virtually no traffic) and walks up to the front door to let me know he’s here. Immediately I knew what was to be….
He’s fucking stuck. We have had shit loads of rain in the last couple of days, and the ground is really soft. Took over an hour to get his camper out of the yard. During that process an antenna on his camper catches our internet line, now hanging in the road until tomorrow morning (fortunate the internet still works). In the meantime there are now massive ruts in my neighbors front grass area. A part of the edge of the road is all fucked up. What the fuck.
Ah, family.
Sorry, dude.
Uh… count your blessings?
Good luck with Thanksgiving!
Your holiday turned into a sitcom. Sorry bro.
Aren’t the airing of grievances a couple of weeks out yet?
Dammit, JI! Quit stealing my comments!
Yup. Dad, like all of us, doesn’t want admit he’s getting older and didn’t want to bother you.
Do your best!
Perfect.
Sorry dude.
Shitter’s full!
“Things like this make me worry about you, Dad…”
If there’s really nothing to worry about other than him being an inconsiderate jerk, maybe he’ll clean up his act a little. 😒
Haha: Man City’s “slump” continues.
😀
Lotta lopsided results there, sheesh.
PSG losing is also 😀
I understand completely. While I don’t know your Dad’s age the generational differences are apparent.
When my kids visit they are generally tolerant but I admit I’m not reluctant to see them leave. We don’t visit them
for reasons, all good. My grand kids rarely come and then only for a day. It’s understandable, they are starting
out in life and there isn’t a lot to do here. We don’t have a lot in common.
Getting old shouldn’t mean being a pain in the ass to one’s family. I can be a pain to Glibs instead.
In case the panties weren’t enough.

I watched the whole thing – the opposite of the usual nutpunch.
Well other than the initial tasering and prosecution.
Here’s a nutpunch.

Truly inspiring. Almost makes me sad that she won’t be our next president. Almost.
That’s what a 19 day bender looks like.
This, from the replies, is LOL.
