Not as expansive as the colors in the northeast, but we do okay in the northwest.
As the days churn, as sure as and night becomes day, season follows season. It’s interesting around here because a “season” is relative. We’re only halfway through fall but waking up today, winter is on the march.

“U.S. Cyber Command’s campaign against the Trickbot botnet, an army of at least 1 million hijacked computers run by Russian-speaking criminals, is not expected to permanently dismantle the network, said four U.S. officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.”
So it might not have happened?
“Cyber criminals have used it to install ransomware, a particularly nasty form of malware that encrypts users’ data and for which the criminals then demand payment – usually in cryptocurrency – to unlock.”
So what does that have to do with the election?
The really bad ransomware is really well done. It gets installed, and starts doing encryption/decryption for the system. Then, after a period of time (usually months) is when it stops running decryption, to prevent people from being able to restore from backups. The crap ones encrypt your drive and immediately ask for a ransom to decrypt it.
Interesting, but still not seeing what that has to do with the election.
Well. If I were a foreign power, and I wanted to destabilize the US, I would have infiltrated the state governments’ networks with a ransomware worm sometime in the past 12 months. I would have as the trigger date for it to be right about the end of October. Enough time to get the cash from desperate governments, not enough time for them to dismantle everything in time for the election.
There have been successful attacks on local governments. You can reasonably assume, whether by chance or intention, this will hit some number of registrar of voters {or your local equivalent) if not addressed.
They are Russian-speaking, duh.
Sorry to go OT so early, but I just posted this on the dead thread just to discover there was a new post. And it took too much hunting and pecking on my phone for it to go unseen:
Iāve been really frustrated about the New England Journal of Medicine editorial about how terribly the US has handled the pandemic. Frustrated especially because, as someone who does a lot of formal peer review of scientific research journal submissions, that it is so blatantly political while ignoring some key questions that any researcher worth their salt should be asking:
1. Are other countriesā covid death totals just deaths attributal to covid, or do they also include huge numbers of ādeaths with covidā like the US numbers do?
2. Do other countriesā hospital reimbursements include financial incentives for covid cases? Because US Medicare does, and the vast majority of US covid deaths were in patients whose age means they were almost certainly covered by Medicare. Might this not inflate US totals?
3. Can the authors point to ANY reputable medical or political authority calling for a total lockdown of the country in March? Because 20/20 hindsight is meaningless. You canāt fault the government for not doing something 7 months ago that absolutely zero people were recommending at the time. Iād especially like to see any evidence of anyone recommending the Chinese approach of welding people into their apartments back in March; no, everyone in America who saw that was horrified seeing that at the time. Now we should have done that, since you say that China āgot it rightā?
4. Please provide an opinion on what the major press in this country would have said in March if Trump, whom they were constantly warning was an autocratic dictator waiting to pounce, would have advocated for a total national lockdown, especially as no medical experts were supporting this approach at the time?
These are just the easy questions. If I were given this editorial to peer review, and a couple of days to work on it, I could probably come up with multiple pages of shortcomings.
Then I’m reposting this:

You’re a psychiatrist. What kind of crazy ass drugs make someone think a dog is a projectile weapon?
I can’t quite make out her pupils, but they look like they might be dilated, which would suggest meth intoxication. If she was wired on meth on top of borderline personality disorder, that would be consistent with her behavior. But her poor judgment, hyperactivity and constantly overstepping the space boundaries between her and the guy filming, could also indicate an acute episode of mania. Give me a few minutes seeing her in the ER and we could probably sort it out.
I think someone on the video said “crack”, but she doesn’t look like a crackhead. So I was thinking it might have been acid.
You get a nice close-up ~ 52 seconds. Her pupils are absolutely pin-pricks. So, opioids?

There’s a couple mentions of flakka:
“Patients who use flakka present with symptoms such as excited delirium and agitation; violent and aggressive behavior; and paranoia and hallucinations. “
She was very far from excited delirium. Patients in that condition are screaming, kicking, completely incoherent, flailing. No one having a two-way conversation, no matter how unusual the dialogue, is in excited delirium.
And this was definitely an extreme example of female privilege. Any dude acting like that in the same circumstance would be getting his ass beat or shot in less than a minute.
Back at the peak of the crack cocaine days we had a patient with cocaine intoxication-driven excited delirium brought into the ER. It took six of our biggest staff to subdue him and physically restrain him with leather wrist and ankle restraints and a leather belt around his abdomen to a steel frame bed anchored in a concrete floor. The staff went to get meds; by the time they returned the guy had somehow uprooted the bed from the floor, and, still attached to the bed by the restraints, was slamming the bed frame, with its chunks of concrete on each leg, against the wall. That’s what I think of when I think about excited delirium.
“excited delirium” doesn’t sound as fun as I imagined.
“by the time they returned the guy had somehow uprooted the bed from the floor, and, still attached to the bed by the restraints, was slamming the bed frame, with its chunks of concrete on each leg, against the wall. ”
Woah.

“4.

Oh, that’s easy. They called him a racist just for trying to ban planes from China. So there is no way they wouldn’t have had a shrieking fit if he tried to restrict domestic travel.
When people start their spittle flecked yelling about how Trump is responsible for 200,000 deaths, I always lead with a question:
What is the appropriate amount of deaths?
Mistakes are made. Covid is not the only problem
Medical billing errors cost Americans $210,000,000,000 annually.
Roughly 12,000,000 Americans are misdiagnosed each year.
Medical errors cause an estimated 250,000 deaths in the United States annually.

The point of that piece was politics and using the perceived authority conferred by their titles and positions to sway people who wonāt bother to dig deeper. The truth and accuracy donāt even enter into it which is part of what makes it so damn bad.
Right on, again.
You typed all that on your phone???!?
I can’t manage more than a sentence before I start wanting to throw the thing against a wall.
The problem is that “science” has been co-opted by the Left and turned into a priesthood. It’s true because they say it’s true. Evidence is irrelevant, and asking questions is forbidden.

I doubt very many of those 40% are actually voting “for” Biden as much as they are voting for “Not Trump”.

The leaves are just starting to change here. I made it a point to drive through one of the parks today while running errands, it really helps.
Of course, right now we’re in a Spider Summer sitting in the mid-70’s.
It’s still beautiful here but we are about 10 days passed peak. The maple reds are gone, leaving the dark brown of the oak and the yellow from the birch and poplar. Leaves are falling now.
Past few days have been warm and sunny but the crisp autumn air is scheduled in a few days. Had the parlor stove going morning evening some days.
Maples in my yard are still green. Down the street from me, there’s a couple of trees that have gone to red and yellow, but it’s still just at the beginning. We’ve already had a couple of frosts, so the mid-70’s is nice.
huh, down here I’d say we are near peak color. I might have to go for a drive if it’s nice tomorrow pre Browns game.
I’m jealous you can build
I’m jealous you can build a fire. Here in Northern California it’s chilly and overcast, feels like rain but of course it won’t. Visibility is great, too, the smoke seems to have dissipated. It would be great to warm up by the fireplace; I’m looking at a cord of firewood and a pile of kindling and tinder right now that would make a toasty fire. But alas, it’s still a “spare the air” day, so fireplace fires are prohibited. If we build one and a neighbor narcs to the cops, it’s a $500 fine for the first offense. So we’ll have to warm by the tv instead.
Some cable and/or streaming service should make available the “virtual fireplace” you can usually find on some channel on Christmas Day.
There is probably one on youtube
Relaxing beach campfire with waves! 8 hours.
I don’t get the “I am in favor of vaccines but I don’t trust Trump” sentiment. It’s not like he is in the basement of the White House wearing a witch hat brewing up medicine:
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
A lock of Mike Pence’s hair,
Pair of soiled underwear.
One whole can of diet coke,
And a Big Mac, that’s no joke.
Nail clipped from Ivanka’s toe,
A Werther’s for Sleepy Joe.
For a charm of classy trouble,
Like a Trump-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Brewing, stewing, wait and see.
I will make the best vaccine . . . maybe ever.

Seconded. Classy.
Basically it means “I’m in favor of Vaccines, but i don’t want them to get here before we get a full effect of pain and suffering so we can kick Trump out of the WH”

DiMezzo ā the lone Republican candidate for Cheshire County sheriff in Septemberās primary ā believes most voters blindly checked the box next to her name. She only registered as a Republican at the last second, after concluding her bid to get on the ballot as a Libertarian ā her preferred party ā would have required gathering signatures amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Lots of NH libertarians have had success registering as Republicans in order to get ballot access.
I like this cover of “Changes”.
There are thousands of races nationwide where only one party has entered a candidate, so this tactic could work well for Libertarians. Of course, there are solid reasons why only one party entered a candidate.
So even the party of “Muh DEMOCRACY” (see the atendant freakout over what Mike Lee said) admits that in our country you only get “one shot” before you are ruled more.
Thereās never been a court appointment once an election has begun.
This is a lie. The constitution requires the president to fill the vacancy with the advice and consent of the senate. I.e the president is required to nominate someone but the senate does not have to confirm. And it has happened many times during an election year.

Good evening Spud.
My sprinkler blowout service technician is prepping for another ‘snowmaggedon’ similar to 2017. He’s not the only one to mention that to me.
Maybe they’re full of nonsense, but I’m going to buy a new snow shovel.
He’s been reading the Old Farmer’s Almanac. He’s a man of science.
Your post made me recall some book I read as a kid, perhaps it was one of the “Little House” Laura Ingalls Wilder books, where Dad said the Farmer’s Almanac was always right, but this year’s edition said it would snow on the 4th of July. And they all laughed because that would never happen, but sure enough, that year it snowed on Independence Day. Does anyone remember such a tale?
That’s what I’ve been hearing too. The way it’s been since spring, I wouldn’t be surprised.
Bummer. Just tried to order from one of my favorite local pizza places. They shut down. *sigh*

My skirt steak is just finishing up a ferment in liquid Koji and oak barrel aged fish sauce.
One more hour until I throw it on the coals.
“oak barrel aged fish sauce”
Fancy.
That’s what the recipe called for. Links to Amazon and everything.
How long has said ferment been? I have never used Koji but fish sauce is some stinky stuff. A little goes a long way.
Minimum overnight, maximum 48 hours.
The recipe also calls for bleu cheese, but I omitted.
The idea is that when it’s done fermenting, rinsed off, and ready to cook, it should be very similar to 28 day dry aged beef.

Fess up, Gates. Your solution involves welding people into their apartments and homes, but the government can mitigate the sorrow by first providing everyone with a new Windows computer?
The whole concept of ‘we’ in this context is offensive. Do what you feel you have to, in consultation with whomever you trust to give medical advice, and leave me out of it.
It’s a Leftist technocratic belief that everything has to be a “system” – e.g. a top-down regime run by government-appointed “experts”.
Fuck off, Billy.
This would have probably fit better on the beer post, but a breakdown on some causes for the aluminum can shortages in the US.
If I had got to that point, instead of flaming out early, I was going with 16 oz cans.
4 packs of 16 oz >> 6 packs of 12 oz.
There’s a preference in the retail and bar sales (at least in my area) for 12 oz cans over 16 oz cans. If I had to guess, it’s probably somewhat related to the death of the bomber as well.
It was a big deal when some of the older breweries here shifted over to canning from having a bottling line.
Thanks. I was talking with our Coke guy this morning, here, the bottler has shut down several lines so some flavors are unavailable right now. I’m hording Canada Dry Bold.
Why would your coke guy know about soda?
I’ve got Sweeties close enough that if I want rare/hard to find pop, I can find it. I’m just happy that my local grocery stores carry Jamaica’s Finest Hot Hot Hot ginger ale. I’ve thankfully shifted away from pop to beer for drinking my calories.
Stores around me sell beer almost exclusively in bottles. The only cans I see are imports – like the Guinness I bought yesterday. So I’m not surprised it’s stupid seltzers and junk causing this problem.
Whoever invented “hard seltzer” was a financial genius.
We’ll see. You could have said the same thing about the hard pop trend from a couple years back (although I have seen a new hard root beer on the shelves again). I have called out my sister for being a basic bitch for having White Claw in her fridge.
“You have vodka, you have seltzer. How is this hard?”
The hard pops and hard ciders have tons of carbs. The hard seltzers are almost carb free.
That’s why people want them. Get drunk for cheap while staying skinny.

This should be the title of your news letter. And I want to sign up btw.
Gin and diet tonic here. Not the cheapest, but still skinny compatible.
Vodka is cheaper.

Asher’s chocolate has sugar free candy, and so does Lily’s.
Look for Love Goodfats bars. Wal-Mart carries them.
They have orange and black sprinkles. I love marshmallow rice crispy treats due to my deprived childhood when we never got stuff like that. I have issues.
Gin or vodka with diet tonic has been my wife’s summer drink for years. She’s always pissed when a bar or restaurant only has regular tonic ” What’s the big deal?” they always respond. Oh, only about 25 grams of carbs/sugar per drink, dude.
Speaking of low carb, I’m enjoying a plate with a variety of cheeses right now. One of the best parts of living low carb is all the cheese you want. Have they invented a low carb cracker for cheeses yet? That would make this just perfect.
I’m doing well too but tomorrow is a game and I’m like … MUST. BUY. TREATS.

Cans have taken over bottles here locally. Especially with the bars shut down, there’s mobile canning lines, but there’s no such thing (that I’m aware of) for mobile bottling lines. There’s some stuff on the shelves at local stores from breweries that previously did just some small keg distribution to bars that have taken up canning to be able to keep up some cash flow.
Personally, I prefer cans, they keep out light and oxygen better, are lighter, and easier to stack in the fridge. The bonus to the breweries is they’re lighter and have less breakage. In the before times, the operating costs were cheaper to can, but the setup costs were higher then bottling. With the shortages, I’m not sure what the costs are now.
Me too. Easier to lug around. Easier to toss in the recycling bag that hangs on my kitchen wall.
Me as well. Exceptions exist (Guinness), but by and large, I go for cans when I can.

I helped my wife fill out her voter registration today. There were some questions you have to check the box for being true. I remember at least a few of them:
You are a United States Citizen.
You are not a convicted felon.
You are at least 16 years old.
So, WTF? I can vote here if I’m 16? No wonder this state is so fucked up. I do not remember that question when I first registered to vote here, or when I had to re-register because they kicked libertarians out of the club. Seriously, the choices. There are at least 4 parties on there I have never fucking heard of, but they kicked out libertarians? No wonder this state is so fucked up. Did I way that before?
God help my spelling, lord knows I can’t.
Technically, 16 year olds can register, but not vote in Maryland. Technically. I’m sure that there is a rigorous process in place to prevent registered people under the legal federal voting age from casting ballots. I’m certain. Trust the state.
“Technically, 16 year olds can register, but not vote in Maryland.”

āIndigenous Peoplesā Day celebrates the resilience of our tribal communities and promotes reconciliation, healing, and continued friendship with Virginiaās Indian tribes,ā Northam said. āIn making this proclamation, we pay tribute to the culture, history, and many contributions of Virginia Indians and recommit to cultivating strong government-to-government partnerships that are grounded in mutual trust and respect.ā

I was with my son and daughter in law once in DC, we had been doing a tour of the Smithsonians down on the mall and we were walking back to get the Metro and these young ladies just sort of popped out from behind some bushes and ambushed us. I mean, they didn’t actually pop out of bushes and ambush us, but it seemed that way if you know what I mean.
One of them, apparently the leader says to me ‘Hi, where are you guys from?’. They had some folders and some sort of flyers or something in their hands and I’m thinking ‘oh boy, who is this, the DC chapter of some cult’. My wife said hi, but I didn’t answer. And she says ‘We’re with planned parenthood, where are you guys from?’, again. And so I said ‘we’re from Maryland and those 2 are from Brazil. And she says ‘Oh, Brazilian, we love the Brazilians!’. And I’m thinking ‘OK, Brazilians, hide your unborn’. And she asked me about donations and at the same time ‘I’m trying to explain to my SIL who they are’. And I said ‘No’, not rudely, but in a tone that should have made her know ‘we don’t approve of you’ and motioned to the rest of the entourage to come on.
Back in NoVa, we’d get the occasional early-20s single girl walking up and down the street (rural-ish neighborhood) hawking the latest leftist cause. They’d always ask for Mrs trshmnstr by name, and I’d always ask whether they’d really like me to interrupt my wife from whatever childcare activity she was in the middle of.
A couple were stupid enough to say yes.
Heh.
“these young ladies just sort of popped out from behind some bushes and ambushed us.”
Chuggers = “charity muggers” (thanks Brits!).
They’re endemic around here, for a wide variety of causes.
Most of them don’t really give a shit (though the Planned Parenthood ones might), as they’re just paid via commission.
Yes…. Yes…. Let the social justice flow thru you.
Yo! Count Potato – I posted an answer on the dead thread but I figured that as you are still around I would post here too –
I guess it’s just a historical figure that few people outside Texas are aware of but Stephen F. Austin was known as the Father of Texas – he was one of the leading figures in Texas leading up to and through their war for independence.
/Graduate of Stephen F. Austin high school
People don’t know who Austin was? The Texas Revolution fascinated me as a young boy.
People don’t know who Washington was.

So divine.
Thanks.
Although, it would have been more cool if he had bionic parts like Gƶtz von Berlichingen.
And as a follow on thought – In the 1820’s and 1830’s it wasn’t uncommon to find an abandoned cabin in Appalachia or the south in general with the letters “GTT” carved on the door. “Gone To Texas”
If we were a more well-read society I wonder if we would be seeing “GTT” carved onto doors in current day L.A.
Wow $EC refs. This was reversed and called a forward pass.

“Wife material or batsht crazy?”

Yes.
Do you want her practicing that in your house?
Wife material or batshit crazy?
Or bad link?
Look more carefully.
::compares two tabs. Comments appear on one but not the other:: You’re freakin’ me out here, dude.
Why not both?
She can cook, and has nice hip movement, I’ll say wife.
As long as she doesn’t burn your house down.
That’s one of those videos where, if you’ve worked a lot in Asia, you see it and go “that would totally not surprise me at all to see it on the street”, and your family just won’t believe you.
That’s some real Kung Pow.
“These mating rituals are really getting elaborate. I guess that ‘one child policy’ is really driving the women to do something extra to stand out.”
Poor Joe.

Look, look, here’s the deal, man, I just want to put my you know in the thing.
What a boob.
Did he say that in Cleavage Ohio?
I actually feel sorry for Joe. I have seen so many of my friends/classmates and acquaintances go through the Big A. We have to remember that it isn’t his fault but allowing him to proceed falls upon his wife, family, the DNC. They are the ones that are responsible for allowing him to believe he is presidential caliber. They should be ashamed for allowing Joe to humiliate himself.
Is it really humiliating when half the country doesn’t see it…? I would say “yes” but these are interesting times.
See what? What are you talking about? The Emperor’s wardrobe really is quite elegant! I don’t know what you’re complaining about.
If Joe was to get elected and he might, it would make the US political scene a laughing stock. Mencken (and others) would be laughing from their graves . I keep asking “Are these the 2 best candidates we could field?”
“Hand me a phone book.”
“Which one?”
“Doesn’t matter”
I agree (while mocking the whole sordid affair). Sometimes in Joe I see my 94-year-old father in the year before he died.
Biden’s speech patterns remind me exactly of how my father was talking about 2 or 3 years before dying of Parkinson’s.
Hey Nephilium, were the peppers hot enough for ya?
The girlfriend’s been around, so I haven’t had a chance to work with them yet. They’ve been popped up in the freezer to keep them somewhat fresh.

Hiya Spud!
Here’s my contribution.
Such a wonderful time of the year!
Wonderful, like your musical selection. Gives me goosebumps.
Figured out why there was water in the bottom of the dishwasher last night. Rinseaid dispenser was filled with dish soap instead of rinseaid. Cleaned out the sump sensor container and reinstalled the dishwasher. Now just need to disassemble the door and clean out the dispenser.
The wife’s fault? š
I blame Dawn for making a soap refill identical on color to Finish.
Probably one of the subconscious reason why I continue to buy powdered detergent for the dishwasher.
It’s obvious Gustave isn’t beating her enough.
Good show, GL.
My wife informed me tonight that the dishwasher is in decline. 28 years is a long time. She said it is still working fine so I’m not sure what the problem is. The microwave clock is slowly losing some parts of the graphics. Works fine but we have to punch in the time accurately because we are never sure what the numbers are.
It’s time to trade some of that honey for some new appliances.
Wow!
I don’t have a dishwashin’ machine but the microwave is half that age and starting to exhibit a few quirks too. And the TV, after only 8 years.
I have a microwave from the 80’s that still works.
You cheap bastards.
“Rinseaid dispenser was filled with dish soap”
Mistakes were made. Things occurred.
One time back in college someone put laundry detergent in my dishwasher.
Protip: don’t do that.
JFP gained the nick-name “Bubbles” and everyone laughed and laughed.
This post’s autumn theme got the song “Corner of the Sky” from “Pippin” running in my head:
Everything has its season
Everything has its time
Show me a reason
And I’ll soon show you a rhyme
Rain comes after thunder
Winter comes after fall
Sometimes I think I’m not after
Anything at all……..

Ignore the unprofessional and childish writing, but how long before an arrest warrant for theft is issued?
Well, they “flashed an OK symbol” so totes racists.

Sources familiar with making shit up said….
Even if it’s true, so what? Trump is a showman thinking up a stunt? It’s what he’s done for the past forty years.
So both him and Cam Newton got covid?
“People familiar with the matter” Becky said that Ashley gave Steve a blow-job under the bleachers… It wasn’t a blow-job or even a handy but she did let Steve touch her breasts over her sweater for a brief moment before stating “I need to go study!” and hurrying off, books clutched to her budding bosom.
This should have been the 241st post in the thread. Instead you made it 240.
Now the Superman logo is “infamous”? Do these so-called journalists even understand what the words they’re using mean?
“Fuck off,” he remarked.
“Get Bent,” he explained.
“Truth, justice, and the American way” are racist slogans of Nazi fascists
Trump body-slammed Vince McMahon. I can totally see him pulling a stunt like that. Dude has no kill switch. He’s a less bawdy McCaffee with the nuclear codes.
No. They got participation trophies.

Note the mentions of which president nominated each judge. I don’t remember that before current year.
“Those ones have McConnell Cooties!”
Saw a thing about GOP being worried about the bottom falling out and red states in play (this is from The HIll). I think it is interesting because i also see things about Blue States being in play, and just think its crazy that there isn’t any good reliable information about this election out there.
It gives me some measure of hope that TMITE have already started doing the happy dance over the grave of Donald and the Republicans. Mind you, America didn’t let up on Japan until the bitter end. Sometimes overkill is a legitimate strategy. Sucks to be the one scraping all of that shit off of the wall, win or lose.
They need to install Judge Barrett and retain control of the Senate. 2024 run S.D. Governor for Pres.
I like the way you think, Fes. You’re alright for a Canadian! ; )
I’m a side winding linear thinker. Thanks, Ma’am! Salutations to you as well.
Yup.
The targeted ad bots that know I am a woman are doing everything they can to make me fear that abortions will be banned and gay marriage criminalized.
Never mind the fact that NOONE is planning to do those things.the Left can only stoke fears; they have no ideals.
I want handmaidens now just because I was promised them by Trumpence! Heaven knows what I would do with them but it seems all the rage, lately. A man can only eat so many sandwiches.
A man can only eat so many sandwiches.
What madness is this??
But how many tacos can he eat?
It’s total projection. Even though they have publicly exclaimed that they intend to ban many things which are supported by the right (confiscating firearms, for example), when pressed during a debate they crawfish and claim their opponents are deranged for making crazy claims about them.
So of course they expect their opponents are doing the same things.
This. I’ve been in arguments before wherein you fall into the trap of having your own points used against you. It’s a stupid gambit and easily taken advantage of.
That being said, how desperately do you need to win and who is the opponent? I usually just say “Yes, dear”.
Yes, if the Rs can hold the Senate, the country should survive regardless of who wins the presidency. But if the Ds control all we may be truly fucked for the foreseeable future. Citizenship for 20 million illegals who will always vote gratefully for their benefactor party. A public health insurance option that’s the gateway to making private insurance go away forever. Elimination of oil and gas drilling, eventually leading to rationed electricity. And virtually everything you’re used to being a free market turned to a “fair” centrally planned system, because it isn’t fair that you eat well with your choice of meals, everyone should get the same foods. And of course, no more livestock, they cause global warming. How to pay for it all? Why, it’s not fair that you have a 401k, that will be confiscated so that everyone over 65 can live on social security, but ss recipients will receive 10% more than now to make ends meet, so you’ll get by. If you have a single family home, that’s extravagant when everyone should be fine in an apartment, but don’t worry, you can stay, you’ll just have some other families coming to share it with you.
If you think I’m sounding batshit crazy, you might want to read the DNC platform.
I’m not “comfortable” by most measures but robbing my neighbors seems beyond the pale. Even if the Commies win this time I envision enormous pushback and it won’t be senior citizens playing dress-up and waving placards.
I don’t see it all happening so demonstrably that people will recognize it and protest; more of the slow frog boiling approach. But anyone who does protest will quickly be denounced in the media as far-right white supremacists, just as they’ve done with any group protesting the lockdowns.
“The Million Boat March” “Handguns Across America” š
I hope so. Your optimism is reassuring.
There’s a pretty high bar for me to say “the DNC would never do that”.
Pretty much every position of theirs right now is something that, just a year ago, they would have called a crazy “slippery slope” conspiracy theory. Now it’s just reality. And they show no signs whatsoever of slowing down or doing any introspection about where they’re headed.
Yea, that bar is in the stratosphere for me.
This is all so pathetically true. They donāt even have to pretend to be centrist now.
Yet average voters are duped into thinking Joe is slow and āconservativeā.
Fuck microfiber

Fourscore doesn’t have to worry about this. He’s using an all-natural couch he’s had since 1972.
Triggered. Lost a friend to a couch fire and another was horribly burned. The third guy escaped without injury.
Sorry Festus.
Seems like there used to be more of those type of fires. And beds too. Less smoking and less drunken smoking, I guess.
Sorry.
Big difference between how long they applied the external fire source though. They left it on the natural couch for 1 minute and had it on the synthetic for 2 minutes. just say’n.
Denver shooter was contract security for tv news crew
https://www.denverpost.com/2020/10/10/denver-protests-saturday-civic-center-park/
This story isn’t much of a story. Person shot with no explanation why.
Press conference with police is even more lacking
https://youtu.be/ngk7lvyNj-k
A verbal altercation occurred, but doesn’t know what it was about or who the people involved are.
Dead guy is already a victim and shooter arrested, but haven’t decided what charges might apply. How the fuck can you arrest someone if you don’t have an idea of what crime they committed?
Doesn’t know if the second person taken into custody is still in custody and makes vague insinuations that other charges may be brought against them. Tv station ids the second man as their news producer.
Claims that cellphone footage of a potential murder can only be obtained voluntarily and are working to get access to it. Can’t obtain a warrant or subpoena in a murder investigation??
Last week a couple whose kids went to elementary school with ours had their gas grill explode. The wife was apparently blasted twenty feet back and has burns on her arms. The husband is still hospitalized with burns over his torso, arms and neck, he’s reportedly getting graft surgery. Scary shit. Keep your drip pan clean, that was apparently the cause.
Yikes. I hope they heal up soon.
I’d bet they’re (the police) are trying to figure out which party is the more Woke group to sort out who gets charged with what.
SORRY!!!
This was supposed to go under the Denver shooting story above. I hit the wrong icon on my phone.
…interesting, must have spread to the canister though if it exploded, right?

ATF is going after arm braces on AR pistols as SBRs now. For an arm brace that has a ATF approval letter for the OEM.
This was inevitable. Braces blur the line on the list of “Evil NFA items” which the BATFE has to hold the line on. The mythical evilness of rifles with barrels shorter than 16 inches is immutable law just like gravity. They were forced by a federal judge to go along with this a few years ago but, knowing how they always operate, I knew they were only biding their time, waiting to rein this in when things had cooled off.
Damn, the 1930’s were really a dark time for this country.
Does this just mean you have to pay $200 to the ATF?
Depending on the outcome – then it depends if the state where you live will allow you to file the paperwork. At this point it sounds like the BATFE is allowing some braces to remain legal while others will be banned.

It’s marvellous when that happens. You feel like you’ve cheated karma and science in one go.

Im way more refined. For breakfast it would usually be scotch, or a high-octane bloody Mary.
I once ordered a bloody Mary for breakfast and got literally just tomato juice with a shot of vodka in it.
