Last week I discovered people were having too much fun watching the LP debates, hosted on YouTube by John Stossel. Naturally I grabbed a beer and some headphones but tuned in fairly late around the time Vermin Supreme lit up a joint as his answer to the legalization question. I was disappointed in the lack of McAfee.
This is my review of The Shop Beer Co. Church Music IPA
Eventually, the LP picked Jo Jorgensen, who on the surface appears to be better than Bill Weld; such is the nature of being the tallest midget. I will not say they need to have one of those Project Runway style makeovers on her, but they really need to get a better file photo. A brief overview of her can be found at this link (TW: TOS).
What I thought was a bit humorous was one of her first acts as the LP nominee was to repurpose an old Twitter hashtag.
Which naturally got a certain group of people upset.
Then a thought occurs to me: did she just troll the left?
I suppose it is possible.
She does hold a PhD in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. This field of study focuses on individual and group behavior in the workplace, and how one might address organizational and performance issues from a psychological standpoint. In light of this, it stands to reason she might understand trolling on a conceptual level, since anybody spending any amount of time in the internet knows it is a virtual playground populated mostly by spastic ungulates willing to prove the fragility of their psyche the second something threatens their salt lick.
Going by Michael Malice’s definition of trolling she needed to have done it for sake of amusement, but this seems unlikely. I don’t know enough about her to throw my vote away just yet but in case anyone is interested she did do a podcast with Larry Sharpe, and another on Dave Smith’s podcast. She’s stuck to standard libertarian dogma up to this point, but if one of the first things she does is steal from Trump’s playbook to piss people off, she might at least be more entertaining than we think.
On a second thought, this could just be a fluke.
This is the one I drank during the debate. This is one of those part fruity, part skunky IPA that everyone either loves or hates. I am willing to admit I was drawn in by the 1980’s retro graphics on the can, but I am otherwise meh on this one. The Shop Beer Co. Church Music IPA: 2.8/5
I don’t know enough about her to throw my vote away just yet – that vote is junk anyway. de-clutter
Does the vote bring you joy?
I’ll spark joy with her:)
Joy is a dubious word.
Libertarian edition.
Would you like a mail in ballot, Pie?
I’m sure you can get one if you vote Democrat.
I love how the ’80s is now Retro….
When with the Hot Topic/Goth items from the aughts be retro:)
There won’t be malls for Hot Topic to be open by then.
But will Amazon carry the merch as retro? I’m hoping that happens when my granddaughter is in HS so I can laugh at her mom:)
I think I have a pair of jeans that I purchased in the 90’s. I’m pretty sure they are retro as well. Levi’s silver tab in black.
I have a pair of jeans from the 90’s = a Thai knock-off that perfectly matches the Levis fabric, cut, rivets and all details except the little red tag says “LEDOG”. I wish I would have bought a half-dozen of them.

We’ve known this for… months?… and the MSM is all ?
The MSM are political zealots and/or retards, every damn one of them. As you say, we’ve known about the need for zinc when using hydroxychloroquine for coronavirus for a while now.
At least the replies are sane.
and
Zinc does help shorten and lessen the effects of the common cold. I take zinc tablets “Zicam” at the first sign of a cold or itchy sore throat.
There’s a tablet form and a q-tip form. The Qtip is a Single-use plastic cylinder soaked in medicine on one end. Just twist the cap to break off the lid, and swab into your nose as far as you can stand.
If I thought I had Covid, I’d take the Zicam, both forms.
Thanks. I use oil of oregano but will get some of this.
The fiancee uses oregano oil. Judging by her reaction to it, I’d rather just get the plague.
Yeah it is nasty as hell lol.
I listened to a podcast a few years back where they interviewed a few people who suffered unusual side effects from Zicam. It included loss of taste but also a “false odor” syndrome. They could smell things that were not present, including rotting garbage.
Very rare, but “the more you know.”
Using the spray (and I’d suspect the swabs too) can fry your nose and your sense of smell and taste permanently from what I understand. Best to stick to the pills.
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/185738
And the pills will be cheaper.
For the guys, zinc is also good for prostate health.
I thought masturbation was good for prostate health!
Better safe than sorry!
You can’t beat off in a world without zinc.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1iCZpFMYd0
I just got the chewable gummie Zicam. They had a version of Zicam that said it was “zinc free” on the package. sounds like beer with no alcohol.
Homeopathy lol
Former Democratic presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar has now admitted her husband was treated with HCQ after he contracted coronavirus. After his rapid recovery, Senator Klobuchar said (through gritted teeth): ‘I believe he did briefly take that drug.’
Ha. Had a flashback to “…that woman..”
Briefly. . . so I guess it worked, huh?
The LP is a pathetic joke. I haven’t even considered voting for them in a decade.
I’m gonna hold my nose and vote Trump; more important vote is for Cory Gardner, who’s going to need all the help he can get. A Jackass Senate will anally ream us with judiciary picks.
Maybe if every libertarian joined, and they had 100,000 members instead of 15,000, the group would attract more outstanding leadership and more qualified candidates? Libertarian votes for Trump are wasted: votes are counted, not weighed. No one in Trump campaign is going to look at his umpteen million votes and say, “you know here’s a couple that hated your guts but are libertarians, so let’s toss them a bone.”
We should be focused on building the grass roots. What good would a Libertarian president be with a Dem/GOP Senate and House? As an outsider, Trump has had to fend off countless attempts to remove him, and he has at least had tepid support from half the GOP. There would be ZERO chance of a Libertarian getting anything done.
There is nothing happening at the local level, and if you aren’t going to be an activist helping to organize at this level, then a measly vote isn’t going to do anything. And that isn’t me grousing- I have no time to pound pavement either.
If anything, the place a libertarian should be trying is to either Primary a republican in a safe district, or to compete against a Republican in a safe district. Much like Socialist AOC got Communism back on the table for the Dems, a Libertarian surprising a Republican who took their district for granted could possibly make some news.
I’m in a swing state for the 2nd time during an election year in my life. I have never voted for a D or an R.
I am going to vote for Trump because imo the Dems are just too far gone. Another 4 years of Trump Fed judges vs the alternative might be enough to keep me semi free until I’m too old to care. Not to mention the Green New Deal and more wars and other atrocities.
Just ran seven miles along the ship canal in a torrential downpour/thunderstorm. Felt so damn good. I could have run seventy miles this morning.
Now I’m gonna pour some rue into this coffee, a little maple syrup, and some heavy cream. It’s gonna be a nice cozy day. Cheers to you glib people!
Epic, dude! I used to be able to do 8 miles back when I weighed 173, but then I decided to focus more on building muscle and got up to 250, so 5 miles is my upper limit nowadays.
Running in the rain is awesome. I’ve been doing my running after work (around 3 AM) so that I have the morning/afternoon to get shit done or go enjoy myself somewhere. It’s nice having the whole town to myself.
Running in the rain is awesome. Usually here in Seattle no runners wave to each other (as opposed to SoCal where all the runners gave a “hi”). This morning, though all the runners were big grins and waves.
250 and you can run 5 miles? Would you mind trying out for the Giants? Our LB unit has been a travesty for abut 10 years.
Akira is the new Lawrence Taylor.
Just got back from running errands. Had brunch at a local place, picked up three crowlers of beer (they had a special), the quarterly mead pick up from Crafted (one of them was called “Down with CCP”), and swung by a couple of gardening stores looking for live peppermint (lots of spearmint, no peppermint). Waiting for some storm clouds to blow over, then planning a ~15 mile (round trip) ride to a local place to grab a bite and a pint.
I wish I could go to a place and sit down and eat brunch. Maybe next weekend. 🙁
Have a good ride, dude.
The changes in sit down are mildly entertaining to me. The climate change crowd has been kicked to the curb by the Branch Covidians. No more bottles of condiments, people complaining about re-usable silverware/glasses/plates, no cloth napkins, and re-usable bags are right out. It’s all single use and disposable stuff now. Shows how critical the climate change issues are, doesn’t it?
“Branch Covidians”!

When they look into the arrestees’ backgrounds I don’t think they’re going to find many white nationalists.
Well i saw a whole tweeter thread about how antifa are actualy conservatives trying to make liberals look bad. We re depends on who is classified as a white nationalist
Fixed it for you.
White supremist cops are arresting white supremist instead of black people and then the far left is bailing out the arrested white supremist. Trump is orchastrating the whole thing.
RUSSIAN white supremacists! Putin has been doing this shit since the 60s.
If all the agitators/criminals are outsiders, should be no concerns about making arrests.
Antifa is the perfect organization, if you think about it. A bunch of privileged white kids who read to much Marx. They have exactly zero qualms about starting a revolution and burning cities to the ground. And if they are caught doing it, they are the right color to blame this all on White Supremacists.

I agree with this diagram.
Indeed. Also, +1 “Libertarian Redhead”.
I feel like picking one hole in it, which is the “civic disruptions” being legitimate thing. Protest is one thing, but disrupting and obstructing the business and movements of private individuals and entities is entirely different. I see “civic disruption” as those things that are indiscriminate to some significant degree in who they inconvenience and therefore tortious on a large scale. Think of it like “Extinction Rebellion” shutting down traffic around airports, or major thoroughfares in cities. That’s not the kind of disruption and civil disobedience that I can support. It’s often rationalized or justified by a “but if you aren’t with us you’re against us”, or “well if you aren’t part of the solution, you’re part of the problem”. I don’t know if any of that is applicable to protests in this particular instance, but I’m speaking generally in response to the diagram, which otherwise is fairly accurate to my principles.
Okay cool that’s enough autistic typing for today. I’m going to carry on building the fucking table I wasted three hours on before deciding I was going in the wrong direction.
A fucking table? pic?
Just imagine any sort of table you like, groaning and creaking under the weight of two or more people engaged in passionate, sweaty, gropey, awkward, grunty sex.
I’m going with a picnic table. Mmmm, yeah.

Anything by Tom Jones?
It’s not old biddies’ panties, but this is by Tom Jones, and truly disturbing.
Please define “skunky”. If it means it smells like the blunt end of a skunk then, no thanks, and if you mean it smells like some hella dank marijuana weed drugs then, again, I strongly decline.

PBR is my goto backup beer that is usually stocked for parties that go long and BYOB has been depleated.
Yeah, it’s really not that bad. Better than Budweiser and Miller IMHO.
They are selling PBR coffee here. It’s like a Yoo-hoo.
I’ve seen it. If I want alcohol in my coffee, I’ll make myself an Irish coffee. It’s an attempt to figure out the next big 5-6% alcoholic beverage trend. Anyone remember everyone and their brother coming out with hard sodas? And watching everyone scramble to make a hard seltzer now?
I’m right there with you. My wife on the other hand is a big fan.
Go to Tesco. Grab a Brewdog IPA. Leave it behind the boiler for about…a week.
Sure would be nice if we could get a review of a good beer.
It would be nicer if Spud learned how to troll.
Really hope they can launch today. I need to reminded that humans can do awesome things
^^This^^
Its plain and its probably some quote in a movie or book but humans are such a remarkable species that it is equal in its great ability to destroy in spectacular fashion as it is to create wonderous achievements.
And weather is being a lil bitch again for it
What idiot thought that launching rockets from Florida was a good idea?!
Jules Verne. He recognized in, I think, From the Earth to the Moon that you needed to be closer to the equator to launch (he made the plot point south of 30 degrees North, IIRC). This mean that only Florida and Texas need apply. Since at the time there were too many cities in Texas that would be competing against each other for the launch site, he had the characters in the book select Tampa Town, which was supposedly the only town of size in Florida at the time he wrote.
Also rockets need to be launched to the east and to the east of Florida is the ocean so that means any launch failures and discarded rocket stages end up in the Atlantic and away from populated areas.
Just received alert on phone. Columbus police declaring emergency downtown and to stay away.
I’m surprised all the LARPers are able to roll out of bed this early.
Ugh. So far so good in Dayton, as far as I can tell from the big local news station’s site. Also a protest in Yellow Springs, of course, because they never met a prog virtue they didn’t feel compelled to signal.
I went to check out the Philly protest. It started at noon and was already broken up by the time I walked by about 1:30. I wish I knew how to put a pic from my phone on here. I took a pic of a deserted city hall and accidently caught 2 girls crossing the street with Black Lives matters posters hanging upside down at their sides.
Were they hot?
Roberts tanked the religious service restrictions. He has been the greatest gift to totalitarianism.
What a fucking sellout asshole and this is coming from a guy who hasn’t been inside a church for twenty years. Roberts is a damn disgrace.
The black community has all but lost faith in the institution of government and moves like this will begin to pull support of the institutions from the faithful.
It is not looking good at all for this nation.
When the SC’s interpretation of the constitution goes against the plain language of the constitution you can’t really blame people for losing faith. This decision is a sad joke.
The last 200+ years of jurisprudence has been about ignoring what the ink actually says in favor of predetermined outcomes. Worse so in the last 120 years.
Roberts the “conservative”. Fuck that guy
Yup. That claim has turned out to be unmitigated bullshit.
Roberts is an embarrassment. Heckuva job on that nomination, W!
I was about to say I can’t believe this, but thought better of it. What could possibly be the rationale?
Probably that public safety clause that nullifies the constitution and all of those penumbras and shit. Essentially it’s OK to nullify the 1st if there’s a disease going around (and there’s always a disease going around).
Have some hysterical fear-mongering from (where else?) the front page of the NY Post.

goddamnit we never get any good riots in Bucharest.
Also that Michael Malice character tweets a lot… seems to have a lot of time on his hands
On the other hand, Romanians shot their commie dictator. Not happening around here.
meh I see that as more of a coup d’état than anything else

This is one of those part fruity, part skunky IPA that everyone either loves or hates.

I made the mistake of trying to watch it on CNN – was it just them were the actual ignition & launch were somehow skipped or was that across the board?
Lol, just them.
Anyone else watching the launch? Looks like 1 hour and counting now. Wifey and I are watching, and some drankin.
I think so. It’s starting to thunder outside. Maybe not the best time to be swinging a metal weed eater around?
It’s freaking gorgeous outside here. 81F 47% Humidity, total sun, barely a breeze. We have the grill ready to go, but for now we’re not going to miss the launch.
The seats rotating was very cool,
Hope for the Weather, I have waited all my life to watch this,
Green across the board….whoop!
Yep, it’s a go! Whoohoo!
I’ll flip over around 3:20.

Naval aviators?

Q philosophical question for you:
there were two magic buttons and you had to press one.
button one all breasts in the world would go to a b cup
button two all actual communists in the world drop dead.
Now. You love boobs and hate commies. But mass killing commies is sort of immoral, I think. Which button do you press?
All the girls I’ve known have only had one magic button.
Barely there?

No question.
Button 1 would do away with variety in boobs, so bad.

Anybody else afraid to leave their seat in case they miss anything about the launch?
Yes…yes….yes….i haven’t been so excited for Space in a long time.
Ditto. The simultaneous booster landings were awesome, but this is going to unlock next level stuff.
Me too! I used to get up early for shuttle launches when those first started. Had the Space Shuttle Adventure Kit from Cheerios

The president of SpaceX is a looker.
Best coverage.
I’m watching as well. I’m very excited.
Mission control has too few short sleeve white button downs. Why is no one smoking?
I have watched a ton of his videos. Just a guy who loves space and rockets talking about his passion.
I’m on the NASA official site.
They have a bit more eye candy now than Apollo missions did.
The prez is a looker
You can say that again!
Amazing how cheap great cameras are now. The SpaceX hardware is bristling with cameras.
The capsule camera either had anti-shake or that is one hell of a smooth ride
My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by.
GO! GO! GO!
Should we be worried?
Next week’s headline. “Monkeys Develop Cure For CV-19”.
After the launch Elon Musk should, as an influential african american, work to solve racism once and for all.

What is Canada to you, chopped muktuk?
So, he’s voting for Biden?
An interesting stream from Michael Malice:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e18nN6D9-E0
He’s pro riots as a means of change it seems although I suspect his viewpoint would change if it was his business being burned down. Still, it’s an interesting take.
Well his name is malice…
revolution rarely if ever leads to good change. the people who come on top at the end are not the people you want in power.
The kind of person who is willing to use violence to gain power is usually willing to use violence to stay in power…
As America learned during the Whisky Rebellion.
It is spelled Whiskey, you Limey
I spelled it one way for my pirate novel (1780) and the other way for my Prohibition novel (1929).
The Scots, Canucks and Japs spell it properly. Your prohibition booze was most likely Canadian, hence ‘whisky’.
It was McCormick and Remus.
Oh yeah, I forgot.
Still misspelled! 😉
When it’s dominated by looters and antifa clowns, nothing is going to “change”.
Well it lead to change just not the sort of change you want…
*it will lead to change*
It wasn’t strictly because of our riots, but that era really knocked some sense into our cops. They got more organized in their corruption instead of just engaging in random wanton violence.
I can’t be pro mob violence. Rewarding it will lead to more.
Also, demanding “action now” is no help because it would be reactionary and emotional. The laws and justice system need to be allowed to work.
Policing reform takes longer to implement and see benefits, so it doesn’t appeal to the rioters. Yet this is a real issue in need of a real solution.
is burning down stores an example of socially liberal urban cosmopolitanism?
No.
HERE WE GO!
Woo-hoo! Another step toward not having to beg Russia or China for a ride to space!
So fucking awesome!
This one doesn’t have any of my company’s toys onboard, but we have hitched a SpaceX ride in the past and will do so in the future.
Go SpaceX! Keep on proving that private industry can create and build.
Privateers FTW!
Didn’t realize that this was the first American manned orbital spaceflight since the Shuttle. So that’s why…
… There’s not going to be anyone there to raise their kids, if they did?
Well, I hear its cold as hell.
I keep laughing every time they mention that the astronauts are named Bob & Doug.
Is their last name McKenzie?
William Lyon?
Extra funny when you consider their tag line was ” Take off, eh!”
I purposely hadn’t mentioned the astronaut’s names to my husband – he caught it today – anticipating a lot of “eh’s” and “hoser’s” during dinner.
They definitely made sure the capsule looked as futuristic as possible inside.
The outside and the rocket itself still looks like a Estes rocket kit.
I’m cracking a Molson Ice to celebrate!
Take off you hoser.
Tombstone – great movie or the greatest movie?
The government is trying to distract us by faking another space flight!
Elon did it, not Nasa, and cheaper than anyone else.
What exactly is NASA’s involvement in this? I mean, their name was all over the launch.
Nasa astronauts, the rest is Space X
NASA also paid SpaceX a good chunk of change for this, so they get their name on it.
What about the facilities, and the staff?
My understanding is that it’s SpaceX ground staff until docking, SpaceX equipment on the launch pad, but its obviously a nasa launch pad.
“SpaceX equipment on the launch pad, but its obviously a nasa launch pad.”
Umm, yeah. It’s the Cape Canaveral launch pad of NASA, I guess the original site of the Apollo missions.
But it’s SpaceX equipment and ballz.
NASA couldn’t get back into space in a million fucking years, let alone out of low Earth orbit. They’re a pussified bureaucracy and incompetent clusterfuck.
Next for SpaceX, back to the moon, and they’ll get it done shortly.
I was more “moved” by the launch than I expected. What’s wrong with me?!
“What’s wrong with me?!”
Umm, you like technology and real human progress?
Good movie.
The covid/riot/election crapwave has completely washed away all awareness that the American people ever had for the plight of Hong Kong.*

It was really Republican tricknology after Hayes “stole” the election, even though the NY Democratic won the popular vote.

In shocking news — a politician may have lied!!!!
I’m sure most people here will need emotional support after this shocking news.
Saw one of the Fox chicks reporting near the launch and of course Antifa was shitting all over it behind her.
O good grief. Protesting at a US rocket launch?
There are people born and raised here in the US who have had to work very hard at NOT feeling American. They get told they are victims and that the deck is stacked against them.
So they don’t go “Awesome!” When they see the launch; they say “Where’s OUR rocket?!?”
Nah they were shouting “I still can’t breathe!” over and over.
That was in front of the Whitehouse I think.
Oh. That makes more sense.
There were civil rights protesters at NASA during the Apollo 11 landing.
***
On the eve of the Apollo 11 launch, hundreds of demonstrators arrived at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center to make just that point. Members of the Poor People’s Campaign, the same group that had marched on Washington in 1968 led by Martin Luther King, Jr., arrived with a pair of mule-drawn carts. Their leader, Ralph Abernathy, asked to meet with NASA administrator Thomas Paine, who agreed to talk to him on July 15, the day before launch.
“[Abernathy said he believed that] a great nation ought to be able to take care of those who are less fortunate as well as undertake space exploration,” Roger Launius, former historian at NASA, told Space.com. “He says, ‘I think it’s misplaced priorities.’ He had a really good point there.”
Abernathy explained that while he was proud of the Apollo accomplishments, he wanted to draw attention to the 20% of Americans who couldn’t afford to meet basic needs like food, clothing or housing. He asked Paine to let some of the protestors watch the launch, and asked that NASA provide support and technical aid to combat poverty.
Paine agreed to all three requests, according to a memo he dictated after the meeting, which Launius found when reading through the administrator’s papers. “I stated that if we could solve the problems of poverty in the United States by not pushing the button to launch men to the moon tomorrow, then we would not push that button,” Paine wrote.

I’m all for antifa members all being boarded onto the next heavy lift rocket and being shot into the Sun.
Firing them out of a cannon into a brick wall would be cheaper.
But the humane thing to do is let them have Portland, NYC, etc so the rest of the country can live in peace.

Dave is really blowing up. PotP is rapidly becoming my favorite podcast.
Dave is a comedian, who otherwise has no ability to work at the moment. PotP is about the only way he gets paid.
Just for fun, I wanted to see if I could calculate orbital velocity from the formula for circular motion with constant acceleration.
a = v^2/r
a = 9.81 m/s^2 (acceleration from gravity)
r = 6378000 m (radius of earth) + 409000 m (altitude of space station) = 6787000 m
v = sqrt(a*r) = sqrt(9.81 m/s^2 * 6787000 m) = 8159 m/s
8159 m/s * 3600 s/h * 1 km / 1000 m = 29,375 km/h
correct within an order of magnitude – actual velocity is 27,000 km/h
Acceleration from gravity changes with elevation, so that probably accounts for the difference. The period of the pendulum on a clock changes enough with elevation that the pendulum needs to be adjusted for correct time keeping.
Let’s see if I can fix that error – acceleration will be proportional to 1/r^2, so the ratio of a at sea level to a in orbit will be 6400^2/6787^2 = 0.88
0.89*9.81 = 8.72
v = sqrt(8.72*678700) = 7694 m/s = 27690 km/h
Still a little off, but very close.
I do very little math these days, so I like to practice once in a while.
Well looky here: from the ISS stats page- orbital velocity: 7.66 km/s (27,600 km/h; 17,100 mph)
I guess Bob and Doug will need to accelerate a bit more to dock. I stopped watching the feed when their speed held at 27000 km/h
2nd boost burn in 20 minutes, then one more later,
When they raise their speed it will raise their orbit. It is a three part tango at high speeds t dock two spacecraft. Back in the day that was Buzz’s specialty and one of the reasons he was placed on the Apollo 11 crew.
Autodock, they just need to get oriented, the ship does the rest,

Both the cop and victim did porn?
I can’t tell what they’re trying to get at there.
Yeah, that’s getting a big “Um, so?” from me.
Imagine being this asshole.
Imagine not even being surprised at this nonsense.
I’ll make sure and share that with my Laotian neighbor. He’ll love it!
I thought opposing ‘Nam and the CIA was not supposed to turn people into racists…
The author of that tweet is obviously a nutbar.
Well the anti-war and anti-CIA movement never have any of those…
60’s black supremacist movements, like the Nation of Islam, opposed both.
That theory is awesome and so I choose to believe it.
It could be bullshit, but from what I can tell George Floyd, or someone going by the name Floyd who looked like him, did do porn.
No idea about the cop.
A young kitty cat has started making an appearance in our backyard in the evenings.
I do not want another cat. Spouse claims he doesn’t want another cat. Spouse is caught calling and cooing to stray cat.
Hmm.
Seen it a hundred times.
Did you feed it? If so, it’s yours now.
Yup. Tom T. decided we didn’t need a second cat when Current Cat turned out to be much more mischievous than Dearly Departed Cat. He has, however, been putting food out on the front porch for a couple of semi-strays who wander around our end of the neighborhood. Unfortunately, last night he caught a raccoon eating that pricey Science Diet kitty kibble.
Does it have testicles? Can you catch / trap it to take it to a vet to check for a chip?
(PS. Thanks for your own small subsidy of today’s launch.)
I didn’t get a good look at what the cat was packing. If it’s an unneutered male, I will try trapping and getting it fixed.
I’m convinced that these “strays” are just somebody’s cat who likes to check out the neighborhood buffet
Yeah, he didn’t look like he was destitute.
Our neighbors said they were feeding a stray. Turns out it was our cat. She was a pickey eater and we didn’t see how see got by on what little kibble she ate. Figured she was feeding on chipmonks. She was getting smoked salmon from the neighbors.
Stopping at a little crappy bar for dinner and some pints. Not a mask in sight, people even going back to smoking at the bar. When people realize one order (that effects them) is idiotic, they may start wondering about the others.
Where’d you end up? Hoopples? https://yelp.to/qTKq/AlzhYH23U6
Nah. Brew Garden. They were watching bowling and horse racing on the TV. I just sat at the patio bar and chatted with the staff and the guy sitting next to me.
There’s a white cat with green eyes named Joker that is missing in my neighborhood. The flyers are up on telephone poles. Just trying to get the word out.
Apparently , check in your shed or garage because Joker likes to hide in those places.
Email my handle @ g mail if you see him and I’ll connect you with the owner.
Is there a monetary award?
No. Just the satisfaction of being a friendly neighbor.
Personally, I think Joker split the scene. Maybe hopped a train North to Vancouver.
It ain’t easy being a gangster of love…
I thought “Green Eyed Joker” would be a good album title for The Byrds circa 1971.
Instead of (Untitled) it should have been Green Eyed Joker https://youtu.be/oDJfushJbck
And damn I want that 12 string Rickenbacker that Roger is playing. Hey! I’ve been saving money, and I got my Trumpbux this week. Think I’m gonna go buy a 67 Rick 12 string. Fuck . Yeah
Guitars, like motorcycles and guns, are better than money.
music link. You are welcome.
Well, I thought I was linking to the beginning of that.
They are burning cars in Philly now to protest the murdering cops in Minneapolis. Some Philly cops have their own problems with excessive force too.
Maybe the “protesters” should be marching on Democrat headquarters – that’s who can actually change the police rules of engagement in American big cities.
I’m hearing there are protests/riots planned in a lot of cities today. Not sure how you plan a riot.
That’s easy. Plan a protest and then have Soros drop off a pallet of bricks early that day.
interesting – riot started out as an old French word for quarrel, then it became a word for debate, then a word for wanton living. From there, it took on its modern meaning.
Like this?

Well, the car fires are right in front of city hall.

So, let’s see, last I saw the Dragon is crawling along at 27,000 KM per hour? So first off all, drop this commie measurement system. No one benefits from that. So how long does it take them to catch up with the ISP? Last I saw was 18 hours? I guess it’s traveling in the same direction, but not quite as fast?
There are 2 kinds of countries in the world – ones that use the metric system and one that put a man on the moon.
LOL, damn right, bro! And about to do it again!
I had professors in college who insisted that a question posed in moon landing units be worked and answered in those units. People who converted everything to metric and then the answer back to foot-pound-gallon-fahrenheit lost points.

The primary cause of this discrepancy was that one piece of ground software supplied by Lockheed Martin produced results in a United States customary unit, contrary to its Software Interface Specification (SIS), while a second system, supplied by NASA, expected those results to be in SI units, in accordance with the SIS. Specifically, software that calculated the total impulse produced by thruster firings produced results in pound-force seconds. The trajectory calculation software then used these results – expected to be in newton seconds (incorrect by a factor of 4.45)

speech given by last astronaut to walk on moon
***
As Cernan prepared to climb the ladder for the final time, he spoke these words, currently the last spoken by a human being standing on the lunar surface:
Bob, this is Gene, and I’m on the surface; and, as I take man’s last step from the surface, back home for some time to come – but we believe not too long into the future – I’d like to just (say) what I believe history will record: that America’s challenge of today has forged man’s destiny of tomorrow. And, as we leave the Moon at Taurus–Littrow, we leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind. Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17.

SpaceX is live for the entire mission til docking, going to do a burn…. now!
they are docking about 6 am My time, I’ll be there, Live
10 minute circularizing burn right now,
Well that was a speech.

I went kayaking today and saw many turtles. I like turtles. They made me think of Tarteel:
***
Tarteel (Arabic: ترتيل) is the Arabic word for hymnody. The term is commonly translated in reference to the Qur’an as recitation, “in proper order” and “with no haste.”
This word is used in chapter 73 named سورة المزمل, verse 4 of the Qur’an:
“and recite the Qur’an in slow measured rhythmic tones.”

It can be very relaxing to listen to.
