Good afternoon Glibs! Not a lot to say today, so I’ll just cut to the chase…

Cancel Dia de los Muertos? Culturally, that’s is a really big deal in Mexico. Disney even made a movie about it. Let’s see what happens!
Mexican drug warrior arrested on charges of drug smuggling. In case you needed proof it was a government window breaking operation.
Cienfuegos, who served as defense secretary under then-President Enrique Peña Nieto from 2012 to 2018, was taken into custody Thursday at Los Angeles International Airport.
The H-2 cartel is described by prosecutors as having distributed thousands of pounds of heroin, cocaine, methamphetamines and marijuana.
“In Mexico, the H-2 Cartel trafficked in hundreds of lethal firearms and committed countless acts of horrific violence, including torture and murder, in order to protect against challenges from rival drug trafficking organizations, fight for territory and silence those who would cooperate with law enforcement,” stated prosecutors.
Looks like Don Brett is the only game in town.

I approve.
Yes
We’ll be back to the regular scheduled Mexican Fútbol fans next week.
She’s aliright. Ain’t nithing wrong with some curves.
I recall her (other than the AT&T spots) in this.
Disney even made a movie about it.
So did John Huston
Seconded. That is a great Huston flick there.
Say what you want about their Juntas and Dictators, at least they are honest with their party names in South America
That’s the one pro I have for Democrats. They tell you they want cradle to grave government and they meant it.
And by grave… they mean a ditch for some, and ovens for others.
In the case of abortion, they skip the cradle.
It’s just so much more efficient that way.
LOL right?
“national unity under his Movement Toward Socialism party.”
Yeah, at least honest. You’ll get unified, or else.
It depends how they count cases. Positive test? Positive test with symptoms?
I think some people in the U.S. were adding the number of positive virus tests and antibody tests together.
Don’t forget about presumed positive.
Thanks for the music link.

I never knew why “The world no longer looks up to America” was so important to people.
It’s like caring what the neighbors think about your car.
Because Hoo-Rah muffaguh! America is the world’s big brother with the cool car and our brave boys can’t let us lose that.
Whoopee
How does Bill feel about blatant political corruption and a foreign policy that was openly for sale?
Okay…and why feel the need to run out and publicize your vote?
And who says you know what, I was going to go for Trump but this guy, this guy right here fucks.
I never got that.
Because you’re campaigning for a new job.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
We have a winner!
I’ve been accused of having an outsized respect for America’s military. One of the reasons I’ve respected it as much as I do is that they had traditionally kept some semblance of being apolitical. Assholes like this guy diminish that.
Flag Officers are political animals. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t be Flag Officers.
They may well be. But, at least they can be expected to keep up the pretense of not being political.
To be honest, after the incident in Panama wherein a Vulcan squad in my Battery almost turned a bunch of SEALs into a fine red mist because they were in civilian clothes and responded with expletives rather than the proper password when challenged, I don’t believe a word any of those wannabe Marines has to say about anything. After Grenada, where SEALS drowned because they couldn’t swim, and Panama, where SEALS fucked up an airport takedown and almost got killed by Army Air Defense soldiers because they thought too highly of themselves, and Mesopotamia where that sniper guy was a self-aggrandizing asshole and other SEALS were so lazy and corrupt and they framed their commander rather than train, or Africa where SEALS murdered a Green Beret who discovered their smuggling operation, I don’t know why Navy special warfare still exists.
wannabe Marines
Stolen.
Unless I’m talking to an actual SEAL, of course.
Because it a massive, ginormous money hole that can hide all kinds of fiscal shenanigans.
I don’t know why Navy special warfare still exists
Also, if you need someone murdered, they’re pretty good at it. But that is just about it.
I did like the Dick Marcinko books. He really pushed the frontiers of profanity.
It’s not unusual in the Jack Reacher books for 6’5″ former Army MP Major Reacher to come across SEALs, whom he thinks of as ‘tough little guys’ who he of course can beat the crap out of, because they are so tiny compared to him.
Dude, Tom Cruise is like 5’4”
Cruise was so wrong to play Jack Reacher.
It was like having Mickey Rooney starring in The Wilt Chamberlain Story.
Not like there are a lot of 6’6″ talented actors out there.
Pater Dean tells a story about how his Marines got into a scrap with some SEALs at a bar on Catalina Island. He said the SEALs were all big guys (which was always my impression) ,but his “heroes did just fine.
He went out with the MPs to break it up, and the MPs stopped him from going in. He was an officer, and the MPs told him that if one the idiots in the bar accidentally hit him, they would have to court martial them.
Africa where SEALS murdered a Green Beret
The whycome we don’t has spECIAl oPeRATORs service was in on that too.
Bolivia appeared Monday to be shifting sharply away from the conservative policies of the U.S.-backed interim government that took power last year after leftist President Evo Morales resigned, with the self-exiled leader’s party claiming victory in a weekend presidential election.
The leading rival of Morales’s handpicked successor, Luis Arce, conceded defeat as did interim President Jeanine Áñez, a bitter foe of Morales.
Fuck.
But with the country exceeding 85,700 official deaths from the coronavirus pandemic this year, the bright, orange color has not been as prominent as Mexican authorities have said cemeteries will remain closed for the Nov. 2 celebration.

Trump Tries To Win Suburban Women By Starring In Series Of Romance Novels
Biden: ‘Parents Should Be Supportive Of An 8-Year-Old’s Choice To Stick A Fork In An Electrical Outlet’
Epping, NH restaurant closes rather than require staff to wear masks
“What happened to Live Free or Die,” is the question posed on the sign outside Roselynn Homemade Ice Cream.
The restaurant closed Sunday until further notice after owner Joseph Bodge refused to require that his handful of employees wear face masks.
A defiant Bodge hasn’t mandated masks or asked the public to wear them despite the state’s COVID-19 guidance requiring restaurant employees in direct contact with customers to wear face coverings.
Bodge said he got a call from the state Attorney General’s Office on Oct. 15 informing him that someone had complained the restaurant at 153 Exeter Road wasn’t requiring masks.
He was given until early this week to come up with a plan, but instead of adopting a mask mandate, Bodge decided to close.
“guidance requiring”
wut?
The Clown Prince’s “guidance” is really an edict. One of his emergency orders even goes so far as to say the enforcers (Board of Health, police, liquor commission cops, probably a few others) can even go into businesses without a warrant to enforce his orders.
I’m sure they meant to say, “a law requesting.”
Somebody ratted out the staff of my favorite bar, and the mask police made a visit. Fucking scum.
Someone ratted out one of the places in Nashua that I frequent that is ignoring the mask ordinance. I’m going to stop by tomorrow and give them some business. From what I’ve heard they plan to stay open as long as possible.
There is another place in Nashua that is ignoring the mask ordinance that I’m worried about. I don’t know if they’ve been cited yet. I also plan to stop in there tomorrow.
“What happened to Live Free or Die,”
People decided to close their businesses instead of remaining open and fighting to the death the thugs that would eventually come and try to shut them down?
“Ad agency founder ‘fires himself’ after saying Motel 6 commercial was ‘too black’ and wouldn’t resonate with the chain’s ‘significant white supremacist constituents'”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8860579/Ad-agency-founder-fires-saying-Motel-6-commercial-black.html
I wonder what percentage he considers significant?
Isn’t Motel 6 the “let’s rent a room and have a party?” chain.
Some of my poorer friends begged to sleep on our sofa or even the floor instead of going back to Motel 6. It was non-stop partying all night there.
Did you keep a light on for them?
I wish I had turned off the lights.
Depends where. Still no idea where they get the nazi thing.
non urban white = nazi.
Try to keep up.
A motel chain has constituents?
I suppose it could mean franchisees, if the business operates that way.
The progressive elites are so convinced the rest of America is racist and sexist because they are racist and sexist.
It’s all about progjection.
Of course the fact that he was labeling his client’s (presumably poor, white) customer base “white supremacists” based on nothing other than that they were poor whites didn’t even cross his team’s mind. Although I might venture that it caused him to lose business.
What a unbelievable fucking leftist liberal cunt. And he looks the part with the black mock turtleneck and round thick black rimmed glasses.
They deserve to lose every client they have over that, and rightly so.
“mock turtleneck”
Sad.
Otherwise known as a foreskin
Personally, I’d like to hear that the Head of Marketing for Motel 6 sent him an e-mail to the following effect, “Your little outburst not only insulted our customer base. It denigrated our company by associating it with your racism. If you wish to plead to keep our account, I’ll drop by your company office. I expect it to be a mandatory meeting for your entire staff. Where they will watch you grovel to keep our account. And when I say grovel, I’m not talking perfunctory apologies. If I insist you have to shine my shoes with your tongue, you’d better damned well do so. Otherwise the next contact you hear form our company will be from the legal department.”
From the article:
His comments sparked an immediate exodus of clients including Motel 6, H-E-B, Christian charity The Salvation Army, Home Depot, Keurig Dr Pepper, pest control firm Orkin and auto parts retailer Advance Auto Parts.
Oopsie
Meh, the dude is 87 years old, dementia or just old fashion out-of-touch-with-the-times-racism buys him a little forgiveness. What it really shows is why people ought to retire at 65ish.
It’s not even racism, as far as a can tell. “Too many black people for your white supremacist clientele” seems more like general assholery than actual racism.
He’s generalizing about Motel 6’s clients because he feels superior to them. He should feel free to do so of course, but not without repercussions from his clientele for being an unprofessional asshole
And that’s what I consider totally unacceptable here. I don’t think his comment was directed at black people, although there is some noticeable presumption toward them. He’s brushing off Motel 6’s clientele as a bunch of white supremacists because they’re poor whites. So, of course they must be ignorant racists. Because if they’re not, he’s not necessarily more enlightened than them and he’s not special.
I don’t blame any of the companies for dumping his ass. No way in hell they should take the misplaced heat over racism to satisfy his presumption of superiority at their customers’ expense.
He’s 87? He looks younger than Biden. And if he had the self awareness to fire himself, he’s obviously in a better state of mental health.
Manchester, NH mask ordinance up for a vote, minus a fine
A city-wide face mask ordinance was voted on by the Board of Mayor and Alderman on Monday. If it continues to move forward the ordinance would require face coverings in Manchester.
The ordinance would not come with any financial penalties and is deemed by some alderman to be unenforceable. With a vote of 3-2, Manchester’s Committee on Administration Information Systems voted to move a mask ordinance proposal to Tuesday’s meeting.
So why have it on the books then? We need to go back to a part time legislature across the board.
You can probably still be arrested and held in jail for a day or two.
As I understand it, the state law which sets out how municipal ordinances work (Dylan (sp?) rule state) says the penalty for violating a municipal ordinance defaults to a fine of $1,000 or less. The exact amount to be determined by a judge. Municipalities may specify a penalty in the ordinance, but that penalty may not exceed a penalty of $1,000.
So in theory, you won’t be arrested for violating a municipal ordinance. The officer just issues you a ticket. In theory.
And in theory the summons amounts to no enforceable measure…it will be used exactly how we know it will be used.

Behold the glory of Minnesoda cuisine!!!!
This is what happens when you cancel the state fair and people start experimenting on their own with strange foods.
Would at least try.
You could always chuck the Oreos, and then you’d have delicious smoked bacon.
Me too. I don’t usually like sweet/savory combinations, but I like oreos and I like bacon both well enough that I would be intrigued to see how they pair. I bet poorly, but I’d still take the opportunity to be proven wrong.
With cheese in a hot dish. Use the bacon wrapped oreos to brighten up the tater tots. Honey Harvest potluck surprise!
I would try that once at th MN State fair
Needs to be deep-fried. Then you’d have something!
I think I just vomited in my mouth.
Better than a kidney stone.
Bacon complements many sweet foods.

“No. It does not.”
For a long time, even long after knowing who Steve Winwood was, whenever that song came on the radio I just assumed it was a black American soul singer.
Right up until today I assumed the same thing.
I didn’t assume that, but I had no idea that was Steve Winwood singing. I may remember him only from his 80s hits.
Never heard of Traffic?
So I have to say that I was very disappointed with the Alien Cookies strain o’ weed. It was a “generic” kind of high. No psychedelic effect; quick to ramp up and the same speed going back down. I suppose it would seem great back in the 80s or 90s, but it suffers in comparison to some of the better ones I’ve had. YMMV.
As announced to the early crowd, the latest version of Eyepiece has a Twitter seeking missile.

And miss out on the cuteness?
I like that youtube links are also now in red. Whose got time for video? I read about 25x faster than people can talk. I hate the new trend of doing everything on video. Lurn to rede, morans!
What you said, plus my internet connection has to stop and buffer three times for a 25 second clip. Hover over the link then pass.
I prefer written to video for sure unless I want to see a reference to what is written or a technique being done.
SHOCKED!!!
Public schools have truly fucked themselves.
I can only hope that all these new private school customers help push to free children from the public schools via vouchers. Since Minnesoda schools get paid based on asses in the seats, those whiny union teachers might have really shot themselves in the foot.
One of the very few bright points of COVID – the hopeful destruction of the public skool system.
I’m not entirely sure I want the feds involved in public school at all. But, given they are, I have to applaud Rand Paul’s proposed SCHOOL Act. Funding should follow the child not the building. And if parents want that to be spent on “educational pods” or private schools, I think that competition would only improve matters.
You wouldn’t be saying that if you had some phoney-baloney job as an administrator in a public school district. You let people start choosing and the next thing you know the knuckle draggers will start eliminating absolutely critical jobs like Director of Equity and Inclusion for Fourth Graders!
If my friend gets the job she applied for at the Smithsonian, she and I will live in the same area for the first time in 34 years!

“We are reaching a moment on our planet in which the crisis that’s upon us may no longer be one that we will be able successfully fight back against. The climate crisis is here, and no, the science around this is not controversial. The science is clear. In fact, you know what scares me to death, is that every time we get more data and reanalyze the data what we discover is the problem’s even worse than we thought. We have even less time than we thought.” …
“So what has Donald Trump done for four years? He not only hasn’t made things better; he has actively made them worse. He withdraws from the Paris Climate Accord; he’s put a coal lobbyist in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency. What could possibly go wrong? He has opened up for offshore drilling, and he has said yes to the oil companies, they can drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Preserve. Donald Trump threatens the existence of human life, of all life, on this planet. And on November 3 we will hold Donald Trump accountable!”
And yet US emissions are down regardless of not being part of the redistribution to the world plans. Almost like efficiency is a good thing, and if viable energy alternatives exist, the market would/will look into them. But we know that doesn’t fit “Never met a jackboot that wouldn’t fit” Warren’s worldview…
Too bad pointing out that we actually cut our emissions more than what the Paris Accords called for doesn’t make the outraged people change their minds.
“we discover is the problem’s even worse than we thought. We have even less time than we thought”
See, I’ve found the same thing, but miraculously every four years our timeline gets extended.
Say, when does AOC’s deadline run out, anyway? Should be any day now, if it hasn’t already.
Wasn’t it 11 years to live 4 years ago?
I thought it was 12 years to live 20 years ago?
Doesn’t matter, it’s always almost too late, that’s all you need to know.
No it was “so many years until it would be ‘too late'”, ‘too late’ does not mean everyone dies right at that moment in time, in fact they never say everyone’s going to die under any time table just that the damage will be done and irreversible, humanity may well survive but the living will envy the dead.
If the data only trends in one direction, the data is suspect.
If the science is incontrovertible, why does the IPCC’s estimate for Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity for CO2 have the same error bars today as it did 20 years ago?
You’d think with all that evidence coming in, the error bars would be shrinking.
Doomsday cultists find evidence that the approach of the end times is accelerating. Never heard that one before.
If they really believed it, they’d pull a Heaven’s Gate.
Such stupidity rolled into one speech. Not only are things not worse than we thought, the worse case scenario of the climate doomers is eminently surviveable, both for the planet and the human species. The worse case that they bandy about is in reality just a return to normal for a planet that has been stuck in an ice age for hundreds of thousands of years. And even then, the idea that mankind is going to stop it, or that America in particular is going to stop it, is laughable on its face. The earth is warming (slowly), people are probably contributing (a little), and nothing can be done to stop either of these things, so we shouldn’t shoot ourselves in the foot trying. Adaptation should be the goal for people who are actually concerned about this.
No, no, no. You see, we should run everything off electricity, which we’ll generate using pixies and unicorn farts, but along the way we’ll have to build lots of batteries, solar panels, and brushless DC motors, all of which completely coincidentally rely on raw materials that can only be profitably sourced from China or through Chinese-owned businesses.
I’m going to wait ’til after the election before I invest in your company, the White House may be friendlier. I’ve heard of a guy that may have an inside track…
The worse case that they bandy about is in reality just a return to normal for a planet that has been stuck in an ice age for hundreds of thousands of years
Well, maybe that’s what the “science” says, but #SCIENCE says we only have a few more years before the planet burns to a cinder, so we better get moving on this whole Green New Deal thing right away.
“what scares me to death”
Gaia should be so lucky.

Yesterday our two dogs got in a serious snapping and biting tussle. Normally it’s a quick growl and a snap, but the Blue Lacy 50-something pounder managed to get two chunks of flesh out of the greyhound. To the vet the latter went with a $275 bill for stitches and (I presume local) anesthesia.
speaking of stitches…
L.E.S. Stitches – Wasted In You
Not good. Maybe its a pit thing, but once a dog starts fighting other dogs for real, they usually don’t stop. We had one that crossed the line, and never crossed back. Our female gets real snappy with our male, but she’s never drawn blood. If she ever does, they will never be together again.
Cancel Dia de los Muertos? Culturally, that’s is a really big deal in Mexico.

“[L]et me just first be clear that it’s not an allegation being made by me or any other partisan that Russia is attempting to manipulate this election on behalf of President Trump,” Murphy advised. “That is the assessment of the intelligence community. That is the DNI’s assessment. … [T]hey have not, you know, put a lot of meat on those bones to try to protect sources and methods, I can confirm that their campaign of misinformation and propaganda and interference is bigger, broader and it’s more problematic than it was in 2016. In particular, because the Russians this time around have decided to cultivate U.S. citizens as assets. They are attempting to try to spread their propaganda in the mainstream media, rather than just relying on, you know, bots and Facebook posts as they largely were four years ago, and they’ve been successful. Rudy Giuliani is effectively a Russian asset at this point. I think, you know, made some significant ground above and beyond what they were doing four years ago.”
Didn’t the DNI say the exact opposite?
Yes, if you believe in an objective history.
These guys are more the Oceania has always been at war with EastAsia types and can switch from one belief to a contradictory one mid-sentence.
Yes. He not only said they had no such evidence, he said anyone claiming that they said so is lying, because they have never briefed anyone to that effect.
Excuse me. The DNI refers to the last legitimate DNI our country had… Yeah I ‘m talking about James Clapper.
You rubes think that just because he lost his job means that you don’t have to address him as Your Lordship DNI Clapper?
Someone should warn Mrs Murphy that her son is farting in public, and advise her to feed him Beano every morning before he goes out to play.
“Rudy Giuliani is effectively a Russian asset”
Allegations first, evidence later… if ever.
Cue the defamation suit. You wanna say shit like that, say it on the floor of the Senate where you’re immune.
Yep
I’m continually astounded at the lows they will stoop to in order to maintain the narrative. They appear to have a complete lack of personal dignity.
With the Covington kids the courts have essentially ruled that via sovereign immunity politicians can not be sued for anything that could be construed as establishing their position to their constituents
Really? In that case, we need to get started on a “Draft Sugar Free” movement to get him into public office. His defamation could use both sovereign immunity and a wider audience.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at this Russia horseshit. The laughing because it’s so patently stupid – the crying because half the country is going to pretend to believe it.
I truly hope they’re just pretending.
The DNI would seem to disagree.
My irritation with these totally corrupt lying asshats is starting to affect my mood.
Has Twitter and facebook banned mention of Russian interference since there is no proof?

Not the Bee!
Facebook is demonetizing the Christian, political satire page “The Babylon Bee” after they published an article satirizing Sen. Mazie Hirono’s comments during the Amy Coney Barrett hearings in a fictional depiction.
The Bee’s CEO Seth Dillon announced the demonetization on Tuesday in a tweet, claiming that the big tech company pulled down the article based on a “regurgitated joke from a Monty Python movie.”
The obviously satirical article incites violence, Washington Post confirms.
Zuckerborg has went too far.
I honestly think Zuck is not that involved in these decisions, but the middle management is hopelessly political and staffed with the 23 year old know-it-alls that ruin Thanksgiving dinner with their incessant moralizing.
is hopelessly political and staffed with the 23 year old know-it-alls that ruin Thanksgiving dinner with their incessant moralizing
It’s worse than that. It’s 33 year old blue hairs and soy boys who literally have no life beyond the company. In the before days, having a living space of your own was somewhat optional. You got 3 square meals per day, had all the entertainment options you could desire, and even had bunks to catch some shut eye without even leaving the campus.
In what universe does a fictional quote as part of an obvious joke constitute a genuine incitement to violence? How does context not come into play here? They’re asking us to edit the article and not speak publicly about internal content reviews. Oops, did I just tweet this? – The Bee.
Hit reply too quick. To answer the Bee…the universe the American people are about to vote into office.
Well, I’m feeling a little punchy now, but its more because of what Facebook did than anything the Bee has done.
OFFS!!
Funny has been cancelled. It was racist and stuff.
The Woke don’t do funny. Besides not knowing how it works it’s against their religion.

Morales party claims win as Bolivia seems to shift back left
I’m confused. I guess I missed the part where they shifted right.
Hey, who better to deal with a commie virus than a bunch of commies?
Morales may have made the threat that if the vid doesn’t get gone, all viruses must get a Morales haircut, dress like a stooge, and pretend to be Inca royalty.
See, now thats a real threat.
More of a joke or headfake to the right before cutting back left.
Gay people are as stupid as everybody else. My partner and I stayed not married to each other for more than 15 years.
we did 2 years of that. But since we were already old, we decided to not risk running out of not married.
Barret is going to put on a cape of no colors and zoom around the planet stopping gay weddings on site.
What do they think ACB is going to do?
Obviously, she is going to outlaw homosexuality, and re-institute the patriarchy.
I was under the impression that since the patriarchy is in charge of everything and rule with an iron hand of oppression, that they are still around.
(1) Put the black folk in chains.
(2) Put the wimmin folk in red capes and white hoods, and back in the kitchen.
(3) Put the gay folk in camps.
I keep forgetting that the court makes the laws now.
Overturn the ruling that said states can’t decide not to allow SSM? Then all you rednecks in your redneck sates will outlaw SSM, it’s a nifty dodge, “I’m not against SSM, I just want states to be able to outlaw it.”
So if the SC ruled that states could ban SSM, would any of them actually do it?
My guess is that if the law changed, none of the states would ban SSM. Same with abortion. I don’t think any states would outright ban abortion. There might be new restrictions on late term abortions put in place, but I don’t see laws being passed to ban it.
All the redneck states would in a fetus’s heartbeat, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina…No abortion, no SSM, and everyone will be required to own a ‘Merican-made pickup truck, chew tobacco and fly the stars and bars. Marrying one’s first cousin will be encouraged but optional.
The SC is not going to reverse SSM. It would cause way too much legal chaos.
Legitimate LOL
Huh. Since marriage is association and the constitution outlaws infringement of free association I think ACB would be compelled to rule in favor of SSM.
I dunno, maybe its just me seeing it that way.
Now let’s do the cootie bug lockdowns.
Amy Coney Barrett has criticized the Obergefell decision because it was a horrendously wrong decision…
“What the opinion was about was who gets to decide whether we have same-sex marriage or not, with the majority saying that it was a right guaranteed by the Constitution so therefore states were not free … that states weren’t free to say that marriage had to be between a man and a woman,” …” But the dissent’s view was that it wasn’t for the Court to decide, that the Constitution didn’t speak to the question and so that it was a change that should occur through the legislative process…”
Compelled or not she seems willing to make the wrong decision.
I support same sex marriage, polygamy, contract term marriage, and any other way in which consenting adults choose to structure their marital relationships, but the Constitution does not define marriage and authority to do so is not granted in Article I, so under any principled analysis that makes it a question for States to decide. The only issue that had any business in the Federal Courts was whether States that do not allow SSM would have to honor marriages performed in other States and I think the answer precedent gives there is yes they do. If entering a free state didn’t make a slave free, then entering a no gay marriage State doesn’t make a married person single.
Human coronaviruses ‘inactivated’ by mouthwash, oral rinses: study
Good news we no longer need masks! Now we just need everyone to walk around with Listerine in their mouth.
No wonder all the hobos are surviving it.
here ya go
How about Listerine gum? I always chew gum when I wear a mask so don’t have to breathe bad breath. To the point that my mask smells like mint.
I’ve been away a couple of nights and forgot to bring my toothbrush. I had to excuse myself to de-mask this morning.
Today I needed to scrub some stuff I’m putting away for the winter and went down to the basement deep sink to get the old toothbrush I use for that. Toothbrush was gone. Asked my wife if she had seen it.
“Yes, I threw it away.”
Why?
“Because I was worried that someone would use it by accident”
Sigh. Anyone who pulled a grubby disgusting toothbrush off the side of a dirty deep sink and tries to use it almost deserves whatever happens to them.
The most insulting thing about this is that it is just the two of us here this week. So she thinks I might be that moron?
I would assume the answer to your question is yes.
To be fair, we *all* think he’s a moron. :-p
Yes? I mean…
The most insulting thing about this is that it is just the two of us here this week. So she thinks I might be that moron?
I legit LOL’d at that.
Hawt.
I’m so happy I still get to work outside, only the short minutes I’m in the office do I have to wear one, Pure Moron, as they say about Whitmer,
Cunte!
Sorry, but this reeks of a “study” published by some guy who shares a cube at the CDC with someone with monster halitosis.
The same guy also shared another study with the hot coworker that said random sex with guys named Bob that you work with is also effective in the fight against the Rona.
LOLOL
“a 1% solution of baby shampoo”
???
Shampoo made from babies.
Only the best babies though
The classiest!
“The baby shampoo solution, “which is often used by head and neck doctors to rinse the sinuses,” the researchers noted in a news release regarding the findings, was particularly effective; the solution inactivated “greater than 99.9% of human coronavirus after a two-minute contact time,” they said.”
Huh. You would figure they would have their own stuff.
I wonder if sinus rinse in general is a good hack for passing the test. Because if it’s true the pcr test picks up inactive debris and claims it’s positive, then rinsing it out might be all you need to do to avoid being pinged (assuming no true active infection).
Good point.
I use the NeilMed sinus rinse occasionally. Might come in handy if I have to take a test.
I just use salt water.
“his team evaluated the salutations at longer contact times”
So a bit more than “Hey, what’s up?”
Now we just need everyone to walk around with Listerine in their mouth.
“Mr. Clean?”
“No, Listerine, silly! It kills the germs that cause bad breath!”
“What do germs have to do with bad breath?
“Silly, germs have bad breath!”
/old George Carlin phony commercial
So, an easy to use gun for a first time clueless gun owner… glock 9mm for around $400? Any other suggestions? A female friend recently got a glock for about $350 and said putting in the magazine was harder than it looks on TV.
That is like when my boys started shooting trap and then hunting. “Man hitting things is a lot harder in real life than it is playing Call of Duty!”
Heh. Literally everything having to do with guns, is harder than it looks. And that’s fine. It just means that you need to put in some practice time. No one ever popped out of their mom’s twat as a master gunfighter.
Dammit man, now I’ve got a mental image of Yosemite Sam half hanging out of my mother’s coochie and firing both revolvers at random.
S&W EZ series
+1 on the EZ
The S&W EZ is a really good choice if you have trouble with grip strength. It’s designed to be very easy to cycle the slide, etc.
Perfectly reasonable choice. S&W M&P full size or compact would also be a solid choice (no safety/no lock).
Thanks guys. Semi over revolver?
They’re going to have an easier time aiming with a striker pistol than a double action revolver.
Of course, right now a lot of it will depend on what you can get your hands on.
A local place that I’ve been looking at online for about a year had a huge supply of handguns listed on line a year ago, and now there is barely anything. About 10 models and all over $1000.

Go here.
Seriously. Good shop and not far from you.
Thanks
Why choose?

9mm & revolver.
Revolvers, especially small revolvers, are quite hard to shoot well.
And although most revolvers are very reliable these days, when they break, they break bad. As in, “We’ll need tools and a vise to fix this thing…”
Got it. Thanks.
There are guns available in your town?
found a place a short bike ride away that also has a range. Hoping I can take class or something.
A Glock is a good choice for a new shooter, but maybe not a great one?
High points – Glocks are very reliable, and they’re extremely common. You’ll never have trouble finding magazines, holsters, or spare parts.
Low points – I find Glocks to be somewhat harder to shoot than the competition. I also don’t think that they’re as safe as some of the competition. Put it this way – I’ve been shooting competitively and carrying a concealed pistol for more than fifteen years. I still prefer to have either a thumb safety, or an external hammer that I can block with my thumb.
If you like the Glock and shoot it well, that’s cool. I’d also look at the S&W M&P2.0 line, the Beretta Px4, maybe the CZ P-07/P-09 series. There are lots of other good choices.
Seconded – never liked the feel or triggers on Glocks. We have similar taste in blasters.
If you want a sriker-fired alternative to Glock, try the CZ P-10.
https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2020/08/17/beretta-92x-compact-in-depth-review/
You could go all metal framed. Get the G version.
The only reason I didn’t mention the Beretta 92 series, is that they might be a little expensive for a new shooter. They are accurate, reliable, and super-easy to shoot.
Thanks guys
They were on Gunbroker under $500 when I got mine.
Biden’s poll numbers are crashing. Are the pollsters adjusting their methods to avoid being humiliated in November?
Or maybe people are a) not happy to find out that his son is a proven grifter who has been kicking back to Joe and b) really mad that the MSM is blatantly trying to hide that fact?
They’re doomed now anyway, they done lost fitty cent!

He’s window shopping for a President
I thought you didn’t believe polls.
I heard somewhere today that the NYT will stop doing any more polls. That right there told me all I need to know.
Nah. Its just like 2016
First week of October: “Trump is bad. He’s orange. He’s an asshole. Why would anybody vote for a bad, orange asshole?
Following week: “Oh right…,the Democrats are openly corrupt and will never be questioned by their handlers in the media. This is so hard for my wee head to process.”

STAY SCARED!!1!!!!!1111!!!!1
From the linked article:
Melissa Resch has helped coronavirus patients FaceTime their family members to say goodbye, then sat with them as they died.
David Eggman has listened to COVID-19 patients say their last words, including “that they didn’t realize it was as bad as it was.”
And Mallory Giese has had to disinfect the rooms of those patients after their deaths.
They all work at Aspirus Wausau Hospital, one of the many health care facilities in Wisconsin that have been overwhelmed by the state’s coronavirus surge.
As of Friday, a record 1,101 people were hospitalized with the coronavirus in Wisconsin, including 274 people in intensive care units.
At the beginning of the pandemic, Aspirus, which has 10 hospitals in its system, planned for up to 25 beds for coronavirus patients.
“We have been adding a lot of beds. We have about 98 beds throughout the system that are COVID-designated and we only have about 18 left, so that means we have about 80 people in COVID right now that are pretty sick,” said Matthew Heywood, CEO and president at Aspirus.
Huh. 80% of COVID designated beds are full means the system is overwhelmed? Go fuck yourselves.
Bonus: Typical reddit sewer comments.
“ 80 people in COVID right now that are pretty sick,”
Uhh nope. The system just has 80 people that required admission for something, but tested positive for the vid at admission. When I glanced at admission reasons on our covid units at the hospital there were falls, sickle cell crisis, MVCs along with the expected symptoms like shortness of breath
Can we just keep talking about Toobin? It’s the feel-good story of the year!
I think you mean the “feel-wood” story.
It’s the “ball-peen” story of the year!
Do you really want to zoom in on that one?
It looks like sand dunes in Iraq!
I’m used to hearing “Grace, can you put yourself on mute.” Now it’ll be “ARV, can you put your dick away.” “But that HR girl is so hot in her PJs!”
It was feeling pretty good to him.
Gavin Newsom strangles Mickey Mouse
LOL at the amount of signaling in that message.
Look man, if you go to Disney I’m going to die.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer couple.
As of so far, Corporate America appears to be 100% on board with all of this. I guess they figure they’d be tilting at windmills, or maybe they’ve calculated that when all of this annihilates all but the largest businesses backed by the most capital they’ll be in the catbird seat. But man you’ve got to think that some of this has to make them a touch nervous. If The Mouse suddenly discovers that playing along with everything this year has earned them nothing from Team Blue, you wonder how they’ll react.
And yet WDW has been open for months. But muh SCIENCE!!!
My niece took the hit and was laid off because of this. She isn’t doing well with it. She has Turner Syndrome and that was the best place for her to work as she can be a 30 year old 15 year old making kids smile.

Enthusiasm.
That was quite the diverse collection of individuals.
Wait I thought only white folks liked Trump. It seems I have been led a stray.
According to Biden, yes.
Strangely enough, it seems more and more diverse minorities thought to be ‘traditional Dems’ are going Trump, while white preening neverTrumper Republicans boast that they’re going for Biden.
Yup.
Yesterday someone linked to a photo of a Biden rally where a whopping ten people showed up.

“The failed presidential candidate is still, seemingly, perplexed by the outcome of the 2016 election, telling the Atlantic in an interview this month that “we still don’t know what really happened.”
You openly expressed contempt for the country and the electorate? Your platform was destructive to the country?

$300K already wasted on what should have been laughed out the room in sight.
In the photo, is that a bridge across the river?
Yes. The obsolete one that I think $200M or more has been spent on replacement. Mainly got derailed because the proponent state DOT wants light rail but the bridge needs to be high enough for shipping traffic which makes the angle top steep.
There’s also another freeway bridge slightly upriver to the east.
“We deserve to connect to our riverways.”
Could you connect to technical English prose and not, you know, poetical nonsense?
Pikers. Uncle Bill De Blasio magicked a ferry system out of thin air, priced it the same as a bus fare, and pretended it’s for poor folks who live on the coasts – and keeps throwing money at it despite surveys which show that only tourists and rich people use it.
There is a stop a few loooong blocks from me but it’s not as convenient or fast as, you know, the subway that is much closer to me.
Well, this is just plain unfortunate. I always had a fondness for that band.

Yard sign update: I traveled to Muncy, PA on business last week. Saw a bunch of yard signs, more Trump than Biden, but plenty of Biden signs.
Also, the best so far:
Winner!
I’m injecting ladypart yeast infection meds into my dog’s ears. I figure it’ll work the same as going to the vet a few times a year when the ears flare up. And be a fuckton cheaper.
That should ;be effective.
My biggest dog had problems with a recurring yeast infection in his ears. Turns out he has an allergy to beef (really? what kind of cruel joke is that?) and he would get a mild fever. The increased body temp would cause the natural yeast to accelerate its growth. We cut the beef out of his diet and that did the trick.
I’ve been thinking he may have allergies, because the vet said his lungs were clear and he’s been sneezy & wheezy and the last course of antibiotics did nothing to alleviate that. I may try different things with his diet based on your anecdote…
Aw poor thing 🙁
I wouldn’t wish that allergy on any creature.
Dafuq? How did you figure that out?
Candida,
We could make it together
