Happy Fifth birthday to the youngest non-fetal child in the L household. Enjoy your last birthday as “the baby”, bud. We rented a bounce house with a water slide. It was a big hit with our kids, the neighbors, and a younger couple who is friends with my wife. Seriously, those two might have had the most fun. Although the neighbors’ four year old daughter was heard to declare as the thing was being set up, “this is going to be the best day of my life!” I hope it was. I know my two boys had a blast.
Florida Man tries to break into estranged wife’s new home with gun, gets planted by the new boyfriend.
I kind of wish American politics worked this way.
This guy really should have known better than to dip his fry in the company oil.
Projection? It seems both reasonable, and also like something that was tried 4 years ago.
Happy Birthday!
A birthday shared with Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. Good choice!
I read that as “non-feral child”
Happy Birthday, Brett Jr.
Florida Children are by definition all feral.
Don’t you have to start off domesticate dto go feral?
“The homeowner acted in self-defense when he killed Ronald Fleet, 55, in Land O’Lakes Saturday afternoon”
So it wasn’t assault and buttery?
“Fleet kicked in the door and then retreated when he fired his gun at the homeowner and the homeowner fired back, Nocco said.
Fleet was killed when he forced his way into the home a second time, the sheriff said.”
That’s just stupid.
That’s Darwin Award level dumb
Why would you invade a home carrying a .380? That’s not stupid, that’s mental.

Florida Man is not always known for his planning, foresight, or impulse control.
I thought it was Manchester, Alabama that had Impulse control problems.
Maybe he was just looking for a missing Indian maiden.
It would be just like those dirty corrupt Republicans to expose the Democrats’ dirty corruption right before the election.
“The desperation is palpable.”
I think I’ve read that here a lot lately.

“McDonald’s sued its former chief Steve Easterbrook over sexual relationships he had with three subordinates after it discovered “dozens of nude, partially nude, or sexually explicit” photos and videos in the ousted CEO’s corporate email account.”
That’s just stupid.
it amazes me when c-suite people think they can get away with this.
It’s not just c-suite. A manager at a previous place I worked was fishing off the company pier. And would talk to them about it on their desk phones… which he knew were recorded… because he was one of the people who had permission to pull the recordings (but not delete them).
He left “seeking other opportunities”.
“Opportunities”. Heh.
Let’s make lot’s of money
Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck!
Please…. it’s alright, actually.

She had a very Bettie Page charm about her. In my opinion, a definite WOULD.

I was working with my now wife when we met. But there wasn’t a supervisory issue or against company policy, nor did we use company resources. Well, not electronic resources. Use a burner phone and email, people!
Same here. It was so long ago, we didn’t have cell phones. E-mail was pretty minimal compared to now.
We actually, you know, talked to each other.
Must be something in that special sauce.
Almost as dumb as my coworker who was downloading kiddie porn onto his work desktop.
Yikes!
Shit… I would not want to be part of that IT department when that was identified.
It was the nineties. Filtering didn’t exist.
Had a coworker take his laptop to IT when the hard drive crashed. Unforunately for him they were able to recover all his data – including all the porn.
Supposedly, a former company’s crackdown on Internet use on company time started because of something similar.
“CEO’s corporate email account.”
How do these morons get to be CEOs?
Attorney General William Barr has promised the Justice Department will not take any action to influence the upcoming election. But Democrats and department veterans aren’t so sure about that.
In opinion pieces and letters, they warn that Barr might be preparing to spring an “October Surprise.” There’s one big reason for that: recent testimony from the attorney general himself.
“That’s what we’d do.”
They must be astounded that the GOP might dare to play by their rules.
Indiana closes highway exits in response to rioting.
This is going to be inconvenient for arms shipments.
It’s a good thing there’s no other way in or out of Indiana. ?
You’re assuming that the BLM/Antifatards are smart enough to leverage that.
Projection? It seems both reasonable, and also like something that was tried 4 years ago.
Barr/Durham/Trump are either really smart or really stupid. The smartest thing they could do is drop a massive report and indictments on October 10th. The dumbest thing they could do is “respect the electoral process” and stay silent until Biden pulls the plug in january.
IMO, they are stupid until proven smart.
We wouldn’t want voters to have relevant information prior to casting a ballot.
That would be election tampering.
Look, deplorable, the only fair thing is that democrats run a 4 year coup attempt, lock Americans in their homes and intentionally crash the economy, while republicans shut up and wait for their fate.
Oh, I forgot encouraging people to riot, loot, and burn everything.
I know there is/was a case against McCabe, but that guy so obviously needs to be in jail. He admitted to planning a coup on 60 min. Comey should obviously be prosecuted. There is so much there it beggars belief. The only reasonable belief is that Barr is a company man protecting the little bureaucrats.
The constant belief of Republicans is that “If we do Bad Thing X then the Democrats will do it to us later.” Which is absolutely true. But it’s also true that the Democrats will do it anyway.
No Republican President will ever be allowed to govern again. That’s very clear. They will trump up some bogus investigation and demand that some Nonpartisan Civil Servant handpicked by the Deep State be empowered to run a fishing expedition.
The constant belief of Republicans is that “If we do Bad Thing X then the Democrats will do it to us later.”
Constant belief of what Republicans? Not any that win national elections. They are happy to build up massive government programs then either ignore it or act surprised when those same programs get used against them. You’re not wrong that the current crop of Democrats will do bad things anyway, but nobody had to hold a gun to any elected Republican’s head to force him to create or expand the state apparatus that will later get used against him.
The only reasonable belief is that Barr is a company man protecting the little bureaucrats.
Make that “protecting the institutions”, and I agree.
He and Durham may or may not string up a few low, maybe mid, rankers. But their number 1 priority is protecting the FBI and DOJ, and they will see taking out the trash at Main Justice as harming the institutions.
Yep
The source added that Brennan has been told he is not a target of prosecutors.

“All CEOs should have sisters like these.
Goya Foods’ President Trump-loving CEO nearly lost his job last month as members of the family-owned business sought to inject new blood into the company through a partial sale to a private equity firm.
As The Post reported on July 19, Robert Unanue beat back efforts to sell a 25 percent stake in Goya to BDT Capital Partners in a deal that would have forced him to give up the CEO role after 18 months.
The Post has since learned, however, that Bob, 66, got his way only after his three sisters — Carol Freeborn, Mary Ellen Yorio and Lisa Unanue — threatened to never again speak to certain family members if they voted for the sale.
The alleged drama started on July 8 — the day before Bob’s controversial White House appearance — when 53 percent of the Spanish-food empire’s shares were voted in favor of the sale to BDT during a preliminary nonbinding vote, sources said.
On board with the sale were Bob’s two younger brothers: Peter Unanue, a Goya executive vice president, and Tom Unanue, who no longer works there, sources said.
The brothers voted for the sale against Bob’s wishes because they felt their big bro had broken his promise to add three nonfamily directors to Goya’s nine-member board, sources said.”

“The Transportation Security Administration screened more than 831,000 people Sunday, notching its highest count since mid-March when the outbreak of COVID-19 brought air travel to a near-standstill.
However, with air traffic nearing a five-month high, airport security is finding guns in passenger carry-on bags at three times the rate recorded before the pandemic.
What’s more, about 80% of the guns are loaded.”

I remember thinking when this happened to Switzer: thank doG it hasn’t happened to me.
Really, an honest mistake isn’t any reason to ruin a decent person’s life. As for me, I have two pistols that get carry duty or might make it into luggage or get left under a floor mat or whatever. My poka-yoke is the shadowbox approach: there are places they belong in the house at the end of the business day where it would be conspicuous if they are not there. They have homes and I see and carry them every day, and I know if, because of stupid local carry laws, they were ever not on my person for some occasion where them might be forgotten.

I’ve been tagged twice for accidentally carrying ammunition in my carry-on. Apparently if you look sufficiently innocent, it’s not that big of a deal.
Probably a somewhat bigger deal if you get caught with an actual firearm.
Anyway, these days I have separate gun containers and not-gun containers. The gun containers never get used as carry-ons, and the not-gun containers never touch a gun.
I was going to say that based on your posts here I’d wager there aren’t many bags you don’t have ammo in. I wouldn’t be surprised if you had brass in your pockets most of the time.
Yup. Same with knives.

I still cannot believe that no one got the Tulsi’s tits eulogy post.
Tulsi’s tits eulogy post?
Yes. I asked if anyone did a eulogy for her assets because Tulsi lost her election, and her assets, a least a pair of them seemed to be such a popular topic around here back during the dem primaries. I believe a couple of people here even said they were voting for ‘them’, not really her.
I guess I ruined the joke.
Hey, she’s got a fine asset too.
What do you want?
“Glibs, Gliberinas, Vampires. I’ve come not to praise Tulsi’s tits, but to motorboat them.”
What did you offer her thrice upon the Lupercal?
This week, Fred Wertheimer of the left-leaning group Democracy 21 appealed to Durham directly in the form of an open letter on the blog Just Security. A public release of Durham’s findings, or indictments, will become a campaign issue with political consequences, he said.
“If your investigation is not complete, you should not complete it until after the election,” Wertheimer wrote in the Thursday letter. “If the report is complete, you should publicly oppose any release of your report before the election.”
Please don’t expose our crimes until it’s too late to make a difference.
I like the either way, don’t expose it request.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

President Donald Trump said Monday that his acceptance speech for the Republican presidential nomination will be held at either the White House or the Gettysburg battlefield.
“We have narrowed the Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speech, to be delivered on the final night of the Convention (Thursday), to two locations – The Great Battlefield of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and the White House, Washington, D.C.,” he tweeted.
He tweeted that a decision on the location of the Aug. 27 speech will be made soon.
Wait, isn’t McMuffin still in this thing?
So no conventions?
If he had gone on a diet four years ago and gotten himself in peak condition, he could have accepted the nomination from onboard a Dragon 2.
That’s what I plan to do if I’m elected President.
So would that be Space Force One?

Felony battery charge for an 8 year old.
I see some strong merit to the defund the police position. Not to replace with the community led policing or whatever. Just be done. Cut the laws to the 10 or so needed that actually involve harm to others and you could easily cut police departments by 90% without blinking.
I imagine that was missing from your quotes.
Why would you invade a home carrying a .380?

Could have been worse. Could have been a .25.

Chipwooder – What radars did you work on? Also I have to rethink my thoughts on Pope Jimbo and the navaids thing, that is unsettling. I guess as long as it wasn’t ground radio.
Our PAR was the AN/TPN-22 and our ASR was the AN/TPS-73. Displays were the AN/UYQ-34. I’m assuming they’ve all finally been replaced by whatever new system they’ve been working on – when I got out in 2006 there was one called ASPARCS that we were told was imminently coming online, but friends who stayed in at the time said they never got that one to work properly so it was shitcanned and some other thing was being developed. My buddy who was sent to Pax River for a time as part of the test team said the entire program was idiotic. They were replacing two well-functioning, but old, systems with a new system that did both jobs but neither as well as the dedicated system it was replacing.
They were replacing two well-functioning, but old, systems with a new system that did both jobs but neither as well as the dedicated system it was replacing.
And after spending billions of dollars on it and other related projects, they no doubt were able to save tens, maybe even hundreds, of millions of dollars by doing that!
The Pentagon Wars was actually a documentary.
I used to work at United Defense. It was not a feeling of pride I got from seeing the logo during that documentary.
When our unit did a rotation at NTC Ft. Irwin, my squad leader and driver were both out on leave so I got stuck in a FAAR (AN/MPQ-49 Forward Area Alerting Radar) squad for the exercise. The squad leader was short-time so he and I were sent off to meet some fellows from Lockheed-Martin who gave us a fancy, (almost) man-portable radar system to test to see if Army might buy it. The TDAAR (Tactical Display Area Alerting Radar) was pretty cool – a big tripod that held a rotating antenna and a slaved display box. We broke the ever-loving shit out of it within the first week (it came unmoored in a windstorm and went tumbling down several hundred feet of mountainside). The Lockheed guys were furious, but, hey, we discovered it was not soldier-proof and could not be trusted in the field.
Only trained on the PAR, luckily didn’t have to maintain. I was stateside so I only worked GPN-20 and TPX-42 along with the NEXRAD. The downrange radars haven’t changed much, at least from what I hear from my buddies that stuck it out. My 6-year enlistment came up and I got the hell out in ’09. Too bad too because I was selected to be QA in Korea for the auto-track radars but I would have had to reup.
NAVAIDS RULE!!!!
Radar pogues are always the divas. Whatever our differences, I think we can all agree that the Comm techs were mouth breathing bottom feeders.
I’m trying to remember the one radar I qualified on school before they booted me. UPN-15? I was training on the AN/TPN-22 when they finally figured out that sending me back to radar school was stupid and let me out.
Okay, we can agree on that; shitty being in a Comm SQ wearing a maintainer badge, but we were awesome and they were poopy heads. Never touched electronics (except computers) until they threw me out to Biloxi but damn did I enjoy it and am good at it.

I still don’t understand why the government would need to protect its own right to bear arms, when the power to create an army and navy was already spelled out in the Constitution. Given that the implied powers doctrine applies in every other case, why did the power for the government to arm its legal military need to be spelled out?

Nancy P. is a little testy.
“You’re known as a master negotiator, but didn’t you mess this one up?” Wallace asked. “You knew that the president was threatening to take this executive action. I understand that you weren’t going to get everything you wanted and didn’t get everything you wanted, but should you have cut a deal?”
Pelosi, visibly upset by Wallace’s question, told Wallace he “clearly” did not “have an understanding of what is happening.” …
Pelosi also reacted to questions about the negotiations in an interview with PBS on Friday by accosting anchor Judy Woodruff for “playing devil’s advocate” when challenging Pelosi about the Democrats’ stance. In the interview, Pelosi accused Woodruff being an “advocate” of congressional Republicans after Woodruff suggested that the GOP demonstrated flexibility in the allocations of the bill and pointed out that money designated by Congress in the spring is still waiting to be spent.
“Democrats want more money, Republicans want a lot less,” Woodruff began. “They are saying they’re willing to show flexibility, and they’re also saying a lot of the money that was passed in the spring, Madam Speaker, has not even been spent yet.”
“Well, if you want to be an advocate for them, Judy, if you want to be an advocate for them, listen to what the facts are,” Pelosi snapped back.
“The point is, we have a bill that meets the needs of the American people. It’s called the HEROES Act. They [Republicans] don’t even want to do state and local, and when they do, it’s very meager and they want to revert money from before,” she added.
They [Republicans] don’t even want to do state and local
Why, it’s almost like we have a federal system of government! You know, the same federalism that Pelosi magically remembers exists whenever it’s convenient.

Federal Elections Commission (FEC) Commissioner Ellen Weintraub warned Monday that there’s a “substantial chance” results for the presidential and down-ballot races may not be known on election night, as voters will likely shift to more mail-in ballots amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“Let me just tell everybody, we’re all going to need to take a deep breath and be patient this year because there’s a substantial chance we are not going to know on election night what the results are,” Weintraub said on CNN’s “New Day.”
“Probably for the presidency, but maybe for many other races that are important to people, and that’s OK. If it takes a little bit longer to count all the votes accurately, that’s what we need to do in order to ensure that everyone’s vote counts,” she added.
Weintraub said mail-in and absentee voting will be a “preferred alternative” for many voters this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. She noted that there was an increase in absentee voting during the recent Kentucky primary compared to other years.
President Trump has repeatedly railed against mail-in voting, making unsubstantiated claims that it leads to voter fraud.
Eventually, the Oracle will emerge, and announce the results. Trust us, it’s all on the up and up.
They will keep finding boxes of ballots in trunks of cars until Democrats win.
The whole thing has become such a song-and-dance, and it didn’t start just this year, that it is little wonder lots of people don’t trust it.

It’s amazing how in touch white liberals believe they are with the black community. This may be anecdotal but most of the black folks I know from my social media pages are all pissed about the looting and rioting going on in their neighborhoods and downtown Chicago. But yet a lot my white liberal acquaintances are making excuses for the rioters and looters. Some of them mean well but what pisses me off is if anyone confronts them and tell them that looting and rioting hurts the black community more than it does the so called oppressors, they get offended really fast. You know…. despite not having to suffer the consequences of having your businesses destroyed and leave the community
I maintain that there are fewer sentiments in America more racist than “only white people worry about safe streets and good jobs”
Oh yeah. I even told some them about my parents and neighbors being scared shit less during the riots and they all basically said, “It’s sad that they are scared but this is the result of oppression…so whatever.”
Nobody likes having their faith questioned.
Your parents and neighbors lives, property, and emotional well being are just the eggs that the revolutionary vanguard must use to make the beautiful omelette of Biden winning the election.
Piermont NY is a very trendy little town about 15 minutes from me. Was walking around there with my wife yesterday, cuz there ain’t a lot to do hereabouts these days. Every single establishment (except maybe the local tapas joint) has “BLM!!!” displayed prominently somewhere near the entrance. I figure it’s a talisman to ward off any peaceful protesters who might happen by, because you’d be hard pressed to find an actual black person in that town. I think the locals there support Black Lives as long as they are kept at arm’s length.
In Chicago, when you take the Red Line towards the Dan Ryan stop, you won’t see one white person on the train after 55th and Garfield (that’s the stop for the Museum of Science and Industry and the University of Chicago) but yet they are always saying that people should shop at black businesses and eat at the restaurants.
Ed you made me flash back to the mid80’s when the only restaurant south of Hyde Park and east of Kedzie ever mentioned in Chicago Magazine was Phil Schmidt’s in Hammond. (Sadly gone)
I haven’t looked at that magazine in over 30 years but I’m certain nothing has changed. They might mention a place south of Hyde park when they do a street food issue but that is it.
Guilty as charged. I road the red line to that stop once. Once.
A number of places near me put up “Black Owned Business” signs during the June riots. Guess no-one told them the looting was the fault of white supremacists.
In my part of Brooklyn I’ve seen that in exactly one business, my pet store. We are not trendy or particularly liberal (for years we had the only GOP representation in NYC). Instead it’s mostly middle-class immigrants and remnants of the old Eyetalian community and a sprinkling of yuppies like myself who got tired of the rest of the city’s shit.
Lots of Orthodox Jews? That’s a growing community isn’t it?
Not so many near me – it is after all Little Cairo around here – but next door in Dyker Heights and Bensonhurst there are many.
Those people must have been the inspiration for Chris Rock’s teacher in “Everybody Hates Chris”.
I watched Tropic Thunder last night, assuming it will be cancelled even though it is making fun of Hollywood by casting a white Australian (Downey Jr) to play the only good African American role in the movie.
Despite Ben Stiller, I had a few laughs.
That is my favorite comedy of all time. I remember laughing out loud when seeing it for the first time in the theater. I was the only one :/
Really gonna buy the blu-ray soon. It’ll be OOP eventually.
If you have to explain your analogy in detail because your audience doesn’t understand it, maybe it’s not a good choice for an analogy.
No. The problem is the audience.
Dog-faced pony audience!
Apparently someone was shot outside the White House gates a few min ago.
Or was shooting.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-escorted-out-white-house-press-briefing
“President Trump on Monday was abruptly escorted away from the White House briefing room just a few minutes after taking the podium for a press briefing, but quickly returned to tell reporters, “There was a shooting outside of the White House.”
Describing what he knew about the situation, the president said it “seems” an armed person was shot by Secret Service and had been taken to the hospital. Trump said no one else was injured.
“It seems that the shooting was done by law enforcement,” he said.
Several minutes after initially taking the podium, someone – who appeared to be a Secret Service agent – told the president something before Trump stopped and walked out of the room.
“Excuse me?” the president said to the agent before exiting.
After returning to the podium, Trump said a shooting took place outside the premises of the White House near the fence. He said more information would be released later.”
Please let it be [redacted].
That sounds like a great birthday party. Happy Birthday to your kid!
Fleet kicked in the door and then retreated when he fired his gun at the homeowner and the homeowner fired back, Nocco said.
Fleet was killed when he forced his way into the home a second time, the sheriff said.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
McDonald’s sued its former chief Steve Easterbrook claiming he had sexual relationships with three subordinates after it discovered “dozens of nude, partially nude, or sexually explicit” photos and videos in the ousted CEO’s corporate email account.
What’s the point of being the king if you can’t enjoy it?
In opinion pieces and letters, they warn that Barr might be preparing to spring an “October Surprise.” There’s one big reason for that: recent testimony from the attorney general himself.
I’ll believe Barr has an October Surprise when I see it.
Breaking news: breathing hate and vitriol for months straight can lead to anxiety and hair loss. Anyone who used to like Alyssa Milano hardest hit.

I would still would Milano. With prejudice. Just need a wig.
You, or her?
It’s to stuff in her mouth.
But you wouldn’t be first!
Underrated comment right here^^^
I’m running out of relevant Alyssa Milano music videos to link to. Her bench isn’t very deep.
Here you go:
https://youtu.be/HqPiSin-3rg?t=1438
That’s what I mean. I used it yesterday in reply to the mention of that video.
Well, you’ll have a new reboot to watch soon.
I forgot she was on that. I was not a regular viewer because that show was terrible.
In fact until recently I’d have to say the only thing I saw her in was when she played an alien-possessed sex maniac on The Outer Limits.
I remember Embrace of the Vampire.
That episode was great.
Eeeeeeeewwwwwwww!
Well this sure isn’t a good time to look into this story about Ilhan Omar’s father and his death being a day before the primary.
The gist of it is that after her father died, all sorts of social media posts were created to call him a great guy and let everyone know he would be missed. Unfortunately all his friends keep referring to him as Nur Said Elmi and not Nur Omar Mohamed.
The two problems with that are that a) he was let in as a refugee (along with his daughter) under the name Nur Omar Mohamed so it would seem fraudulent if everyone else knew him by another name and b) If that is his real name, it really makes it look like her second husband Ahmed Nur Said Elmi is really her brother.

The list of assholes.
Please note that your neighbor is one of just a handful with no link to a campaign site. What a putz.
Of course the odds are zero that this would lead to her citizenship getting revoked for fraud and being deported back to Somalia where she would be much happier at not being oppressed. Like what was done to Italian mafiosos in the last century.
It’s starting to feel like the 1970s all over again. When do we get Bernie Goetz, Part II: The Reckoning?

I would have guessed for it to happen by now. It will happen though.
Isn’t Curtis Sliwa like 80 by now?
That’s a name I haven’t heard in a month of Sundays.
A month of Sundays.
4 minutes of Sundays.
Sunday’s Best.
Sunday will never be the same.
Sometimes on Sunday…
Naked Sunday
I’m blue every Monday
Thinking only of Sunday…
My choice.
I can’t wait for the bombings.
I realize it was 1981 but… I left the Nanuet Mall about half an hour before the Brinks robbery. That scared my white suburban ass. It really brought home the idea that “revolutionary” violence could happen anywhere. It would not surprise me if some new fangled Marxist group uses one or more bombs.
Huh. I had no idea that took place in Nanuet. I would not have been able to place that event East or West of the Mississippi.
It’s as incestuous as Hollywood. Four generations of Marxist imbeciles from the Boudin family is enough.

Oh, is that all?
Anyone get in on apple before the upcoming 1 for 4 split – 22 aug? I bought 3 shares a week ago – hope I have enough leftover cash in my account to buy one more share after the split.

Have a smoke, Rob.
The defeat of Confederate forces was a victory for white supremacists?
The Democrats were beaten pretty thoroughly in that battle.
Well yeah… the Union was led by a Republican.

I’d appreciate Trump giving him the finger.
Let’s see, National Military Park, so federal control? Do it. Let there be cannons too.

“I am, however, rattled by the rush. Bitch.”
Pavement? Try some Sidewalk.

I expect there will be an immediate psychiatric assessment that Trump is psychopathic because of that.
Our local state Rep linked to an article about a rape suspect who was released into the community because COVID! and then promptly murdered the witness in his case.
Some asshat immediately commented that she only brought attention to the case because she hates brown people.
I hate people.
My hate does not discriminate!
Except me, right?
Don’t worry, I’ll let you live so you can see me set off the nukes.

Pro Tip: An old refrigerator can store your popcorn and provide you with nuclear blast protection.
Only when properly lined with tin foil.
I have plenty of hats.

It’s particularly dumb because the murderer was some kind of Middle Eastern Muslim who murdered a Venezuelan immigrant.

A pox on both their houses
The vipers begin to bite one another. (The worse-than-worthless DA is affiliated with Lightfoot’s rival in the mayoral race – if she’s starting to finally feel the heat, she’ll be only too happy to shift the blame to Foxx.)

It’s not similar.
Those IP attorneys at Apple have to justify their existence in these days of declining revenue.

It’s a fucking Pear.

Pear, not walrus.
Not at all similar. One is a stylized pear outline. The other is a filled in Apple with a bite taken.
They aren’t even in the same sector. Doesn’t that matter to the infringement thing?

Something has be at least marginally illegal about that disastrous pun.
Bill Gates is falling deeply into delusions of grandeur. He really does seem to think that he is uniquely placed as a rich ubersmart elite to heal the world from covid.
He wants to implement a New World Order over all human behaviors.
This is one of many things wrong with non-free-market trading. Bill really thinks Microsoft is a superior product, and if he made that, he can fix anything. And he’s never actually had to please the customer or even stop to ask how they like the software.
Piss on him.
I am currently pissy about 2 things they removed from Word that I use regularly.
Eh he made billions. Now he can sit around and try to fix shit. And he’ll mostly be ignored.
Piss on him
Not even if he is dying of thirst, or on fire.
He’s all in on this. Fuck him. Fuck the WHO. Fuck the UN.
The Arizona gym reopening saga continues as the Governor was required to submit guidelines for re-opening by tomorrow. He submitted said guidelines at 3:30pm this afternoon, and the guidelines are such that no one can reopen yet. Even when the first guidelines are met, the gyms would re-open under conditions that would make them completely unfunctional in any real way. In short, he doesn’t want the gyms to open and since he’s Governor he gets to do whatever he wants.
So no, no one is being given an opportunity to apply to reopen by tomorrow. So I suspect we’re heading back to court. I’m absolutely livid
No one is posting on the next page until Brochetta gets to 20, right? Or is it 50?
Plymouth, NH just passed their mask mandate ordinance.
We’re in hell
At least they passed an ordinance, self governance for the win! If the people in Plymouth want to live that way that’s their choice.
