Why hello there Glibbies.
Here’s your weekly roundup of wtf I’ve been reading.

Oberstgruppenführer Cuomo has decided that the 11pm curfew is lifted for fucking billiard halls in New York starting April 5th, but not bars and restaurants. He’s ignoring reality, again, as well as the fact that cue balls are fucking filthy.
On Tuesday the Israel Antiquities Authority announced portions of the Dead Sea Scrolls has been found; the first such discovery in 60 years.
A burger joint has renamed their menu items for expensing purposes. If you order a non-slip rubber mousepad you’ll really get a Mexican coke.
I’ve been following the drama with the Royal Family ever since Harry started dating Meghan. This last week has been better than a lot of scripted television. The Telegraph had a great line in a recent article about the grifter known as the Duchess of Sussex: “wokery insists on treating a subjective view as objective truth.” Paywall-free link here.
Charlie Hedbo is being criticised by the wokerati about their cartoon of the Queen kneeling on Meghan’s neck. I think the cartoon is in bad taste, but it’s Charlie Hedbo; that’s what they do. If you don’t like it, don’t read Charlie Hedbo. #FreeSpeechAndAll
Incidentally, if you need to bypass a paywall, I’ve found great success with the Archive.is Chrome Extension. And no, I don’t use Chrome, but I install it in Opera.
Some non-Americans share on Reddit the things they were surprised to discover are real. My favourites include:
“I always thought that the Olive Garden in The Simpsons was just code for ‘generic restaurant.'”
“You have those angry sinks that chop shit.”
Here’s why USPS trucks look so weird.
One of the strangest cookbooks ever published, 102 of Oliver Cromwell’s “family recipes” were paired with political propaganda. You can buy a copy for £6.99.
The genetics of eye colour are potentially more complicated than we thought.
Alabama’s bill regarding yoga in schools is being described as white supremacy in action.
Our One True God now has a sequin pillow made to celebrate his image.
Dead Sea Scrolls, Cool!
Right? I thought it was neat.
“The mountains quake because of Him, And the hills melt. The earth heaves before Him, The world and all that dwell therein. Who can stand before His wrath? Who can resist His fury? His anger pours out like fire, and rocks are shattered because of Him.”
Not. Good. At. All.
Are you sure you didn’t lift that quote from an article about OMB?
Well, Obama caused the oceans to recede and Trump incited an
erectioninsurrection.cue balls are fucking filthy
I’m sure they wash as much as anyone even if they don’t need to shampoo.
Gross but true,
“Why don’t you lick it?”
You’d be amazed how many conversations between the Spousal Unit and I that have nothing to do with sex involve this phrase.
“put your tongue on it, and see if it’s hot”

Lol
Heh, we test magnetos by bridging the contacts and rotating it with the other hand. If your elbow twitches, it’s hot. Lot’s of fun teaching the new guys that.
I work with a lot of DC motors. Its standard practice to megohm them once a month. 1000 volts a time or two will teach you to keep hands away from the motor case while you test it.
Harley magnetos make about 40k volts at full speed, but nowhere near that and barely any amps when spun by hand. They will contract the muscles in your forearm, though. In the bike, they spin up to around 3k rpms. At that speed, the output could cause some serious harm, although it is a wavelength, so it has very short duration.
We have a few 575 Volt machines, 50 hertz, bizarre shit, but very cool too,
/Chasing the Devils Tail..
I got trained to work on Chevy Bolts. For some procedures, you have to have a spotter with a giant fiberglass hook. They also have a triple glove setup with an extreme glove-checking deal every time they go on or off. I forgot most of it. I’m hoping to not be there when the Bolts start giving problems. Management still hasn’t gotten us the gloves or the giant hook.
Interesting.
At least from the Tesla repair procedures I’ve read about you only need the HV Gloves for just a few procedures and no spotter.
With the Model 3 and Y and I imagined the refreshed X and S they’ve done a lot to make servicing easier. Most of the HV components stay within the battery pack in a place called the penthouse under the rear seat.
Our training is as a government fleet operation. I’m sure they push as hard as they can to avoid liability. Plus, Chevy is probably more apt to complicate the hell out of an EV than that crazy Elon dude.
“Chevy is probably more apt to”
……..cancel this stupid shit any moment. FWIW, Ford sold the Gen11 T-bird at the same rate: less than 30k per year. When was the last time you saw a T-bird of any generation.
Just kidding: it won’t get cancelled because it’s not a car program; it’s an advertising expense.
/ still bitter from working on first gen hybrids
We have Chinese electric busses that lose most of their capacity when the temps drop to 50 degrees. The stupidity is not getting cancelled. It won’t likely sell a lot to normal people, but the government is doing it’s best to force them on us and tat means buying the fuck out of them, themselves.

They are why you should wash your hands before taking a leak while playing pool at the bar.
There was a ban on Yoga in schools somewhere? Fer Fucks sake, I would have rather learned yoga than square dancing in 6th grade. JFC
peoplepoliticians are stupid.Be honest, you wouldn’t have wanted to learn yoga, just be in the class…its okay…
If they sold it right damn right I would have been there. My dad had me in wrestling programs when I was 7. Flexibility is a big part of that game. If they told me I got to sit and do nothing and stretch? Ya, I am taking that over square dancing.
You’re worried about your flexibility when there are yoga pants in the room?
They didn’t ban yoga.
They un-banned yoga, but with caveats such as saying position names in English.
Of course that means Alabama is practicing colonialism of SE Asia. In America.
For like…40 years or some shit.
Hey humungus – left you a note in the last thread before I remembered it was a dead thread.
Typical conversation with my kids goes like this:
Me: You on drugs? Smoking weed? Dropping molly?
Them: If we had molly or weed we would be selling it not doing it, we like money more.
I feel accomplished.
?
Kids these days are into hormone therapy.
KidsParents these days are into hormone therapy.Those are one set of squared-away Shitlord teens.
Bully, sir. Bully, I say!
This is literally me with my boys.
I had an 18 year old older brother when I was in middle school. I have never taken a did of tobacco in my life, but man did I make some money selling dip to kids in 7th grade.
Excellent.
You’ve done a good job.
I don’t get it. All I see is the Mexican Coke and other basics.
Damn. They were forced to change it. They had the regular section at the top, then if one scrolled down, there was a section with the same items but it was labeled #receats that had the alternate names.
AFL is back. First match in about 8 hours.
Will Collingwood survive the charges of systemic racism: https://lens.monash.edu/@politics-society/2021/02/09/1382820/collingwood-racism-report-and-the-shame-of-inaction
I love the subsection labeled “Racism roots run deep” in which… no evidence whatsoever is provided pertaining to the title of the article.
Anyhoo… looks like Yankee Fox and AFL still haven’t come up with a deal because as of now there is no scheduled game accessible to me.
I have Carlton at Richmond coming on at 4AM EDT on FS2.
Don’t know if that’s available where you are.
I have FS2 but the schedule is showing Brazilian soccer at that time.
…and my sat TV only gets FS1. (sad trombone). But I could still watch PBA bowling if I wanted to.
Crap! They changed it back. It was really cool.
Hard tap-out. I can’t wrap my brain around all the social-justicism.
Well, yoga instructors are upset cause the State is realizing that their ban in schools is flat out stupid and now it might be stepping on their money dicks cause parents won’t need to send them to their studios
Everything is white supremacy when you squint your eyes.
What you did there – I see it.
(Barely.)
To make it work properly, dig your thumbs into your eye-sockets, just enough so you see those white spots.
Then you’ll have achieved woke nirvana.
Someone said to me tonight that the Daughters of the American Revolution is the white supremacist fund raising arm of the GOP.

Isn’t someone going to say “Erin go braless”?
That phrase isn’t reserved for St. Patty’s in my house.
There were no women like that on my St. Patrick’s Day outings.

Dinners done. Thanks for the post WebD!
Day two putting my name in for the great Newegg Shuffle. Inventory for GPUs is so limited that they’re raffling opportunities to buy cards at MSRP. And it’s probably not going to improve much this year. Le sigh.
But Nvidia is going to intentionally slow via firmware crypto mining on certain latest generation cards.
That’s gonna increase supply… not. Just another way Team Green shows its love to its customers.
/s still trying to by a new card at list price too.
It’s selling mining cards and pretending that’s going to help gamers that pisses me off. All it means is that when the bottom falls out for crypto mining there’ll be a ton of cards without display ports that are useless for both miners and gamers.
I don’t get it. Who still uses GPUs in a first world to mine for cryptocurrency? It’s utterly impossible to mine for Bitcoin or ethereum with them these days and make any money. Has been for over a decade. GPU rigs sound like an airplane landing 24 hours a day, they cost thousands of dollars, they suck immense power, and they cannot possibly be used the mine any non fly-by-night cryptocurrency.
Who the fuck in the United States is buying 3080s or 3090s to mine for some shitty cryptocurrency no one’s ever heard of?
I’ll tell you who. Nobody. It’s an entirely media invented cause of the shortage.
Ethereum is still GPU dependent, and there’s some watershed moment at which point it’s no longer mined by GPU, (something about stakes?) and Ethereum is still years away from that point. That’s what I gather, I don’t know shit.
I guess this is what they’re shooting for. They no longer need to actually mine, they have demonstrated their mining capability and so are awarded a stake based on their input So we’re in the midst of the Ethereum rush and someday maybe means GPUs are realistically priced again.
“I’ve been following the drama with the Royal Family ever since Harry started dating Meghan. This last week has been better than a lot of scripted television.”
I’ve been following this more than I want to admit but it seems as though being in the royal family is a sort of tough gig. Saying that though, she had to go in knowing that she would have to give up her former life and be scrutinized for everything she said and did. Her sudden surprise at how difficult the responsibilities were and how brutal the British press are is a little underwhelming.
But respect to the Queen though. The Sussex’s wanted it both ways. They wanted to keep all the privileges and money that came with being a part of the royal family while not fulfilling the obligations and the Queen was like…fuck that, you’re either in or you’re out.
As I have stated before: Everyone wants to be a Princess until it is time to do Princess shit.
I don’t.
I am under no illusions that I am not princess material.
Princesses don’t get to wear gloves.
+1 plot element from Frozen
Man, they all have those elbow high silky looking gloves on. I’m calling BS on this.
Opera gloves.
Reminds me of something a fat lady once said.
Sorey, I meant Princesses don’t get to wear the right kind of gloves!
What kind of princess shit are we talking about here?
*starts shopping for gowns*
That sounds like something they tell you when you get to prison.
Not just princesses. Same as being a CEO or really any glamorous sort of position.
I know that my CEO works way more than I do. Approximately 100% of his waking hours, as far as I can tell, including weekends.
He started the company but became CEO much later, after being chief scientist for a long time – I suspect there are times when he’d love to go back to being chief scientist.
Pretty much exactly my thoughts.
#metoo
And once again, the queen is pretty much the only one who comes out of this with any dignity. As opposed to her rotten progeny. Is there any one of them worth a damn?
William might be.
If I remember correctly, her youngest son went into business and runs his own business.
Yeah, it would have to be someone who keeps his mug mostly out of the news.
Heh. I can see him telling his Neri, “I don’t want anything to happen to Harry while Grandmother is alive.”

Same thing. Ha.
From the previous thread:
My family went to DisneyWorld today.
Yes they whine about the mask thing constantly but other than that it’s ok.
The park is less crowded. The lines are socially distanced which is pointless but pleasant.
The secret to the mask thing is always carry a drink in your hand. If someone says something say “oh yeah I was gonna take a drink” and then do so. This works basically everywhere.
But did you scream on the roller coasters?
People did that and everything else as normal.
We are not allowed. Although we actually aren’t even allowed to go to the parks yet. Hence the recall.
Yeah they’re not gonna be able to enforce that. I’m sure Florida thought they could stop that too.
I screamed vigorously during the un-scary part at the beginning to embarrass my kids.
What are you talking about? The line is terrifying!
I screamed vigorously during xxxxxxx to embarrass my kids.
This is the way.
You’re not allowed to yell “higher!” on a crowded roller coaster?
The bigger problem is that by the end of the month, temps will be approaching 90 everyday, and by May they’ll be well in to the 90s everyday.
And fuck a mask in that kind of heat and humidity.
It was like that today and did indeed suck in that aspect. Smaller lines was a nice perk though.
I’m from Florida. Been to Disney more times than I can reasonably estimate. My wife worked for Disney in one capacity or another for over 10 years, even after we moved to KY.
You can have all of those things. Short lines, etc. But you have to know when to go.
You just bring someone who’s dying and in a wheelchair. We even got comped a suite at the Disneyland hotel.
I remember, decades ago, going to Disneyland with a friend whose son was in a wheelchair. We bypassed the regular line. Some people hired handicapped “guides” so they could skip lines. Disney caught on. Now you schedule a ride time instead of waiting, but can only have one ride scheduled at a time.
So does telling them to Fuck Off, work, yes, everywhere else, Fuck You,
Well they will kick you out of the park. And off the airplane on your way there. But I admire the enthusiasm.
I only drive, and Disc is my amusement park, i feel for ya,
I wanted to both drive and not go to Disneyworld but was ultimately overruled. In central Florida for a soccer tournament and the wife and kids wanted to do some other stuff first. It’s also our spring break.
Hmm, I was talking to my wife earlier this week about a Disneyland visit, and we were trying to figure out if the park would be empty because everyone is still afraid of cooties or packed because everyone has missed being at Disneyland for the last year.
Wow, NYR score 7?!?!?
Huh. I gave up hockey weeks ago. This season doesn’t even count.
LOL 9:0 wtf
But it’s against the Flyers who are in the midst of their “let’s forget about getting in the playoffs” swoon.
So are the Rangers.
I wonder why the usual head coach is not present. And can that happen regularly now?
And now the Alberta derby. WTF Alberta, canned audience? Even MSG has a few high-paying fans now.
Neat trick.
Daniwah!
There are a bunch of links I will go through later.
I like archive.is. Many times using it to get around paywalls works.
Round Two of St. Patrick’s Day is done. The food and beer were good. I went to a local bottle shop and caved on their masking rules. They’re under the gun of a municipal ordinance which is quite strict. The bar that owns the bottle shop decided to convert the bottle shop into an ax throwing space. To get rid of the beer in the bottle shop, the bar announced the beer would be sold at cost. I spent $100. Four bottles of Brother Thelonius, four bottles of Old Rasputin, two bottles of Bourbon County 2020, a bunch of bottles of Founder’s barrel aged beers (can’t remember which), three bottles of Spencer’s Trappist beer, and some other beers. It was worth masking up.
Have some music.
I was reading that thinking you were drinking all of that at a bar. I was gonna say, don’t drive home, man!
I’ve ridden home with people who drank 250 worth of Remy Martin. He was running every stop sign and light. Finally, I got the chance to ask him why and he told me that he was too drunk to stop, as long as he had some speed he was OK. No idea if he’s still alive or not.
Wow. That dude went too far.
Yeah, about 20 bucks a shot and maybe a twenty for a tip, he was hammered.
I went to the ‘Class XI’ store on my way home from work yesterday.
They had lots of good stuff, so I got a six pack of Bigfoot barleywine, a 4 pack of KBS, and big bottle of Chimay Grande Reserve Trappist ale.
Founder’s has apparently started producing KBS regularly, so the price is significantly lower (still expensive).
My favorite irish drinking and singing song.
Excellent.
The Pogues came up a few times at St. Patrick’s Day Stop Number Two’s stereo. Not so much on Stop Number One’s.
The Class Eleven store?
Fuck! drinking and typing, Class VI (potables and sundries).
Class XI was proposed as electronics/PCs/IT equipment.
Ha ha. Figured that was what you meant.
The Class XI in the Azores was well-known as “The Liquor Store of the Atlantic”. My drink of choice used to be Jim Beam and I could buy a quart for $2.25.
And smokes were $0.25 a pack. The “good old days”
If you gotta wear the damn thing, I don’t blame you. I completely missed St. Paddy’s day for some reason.
“One of the strangest cookbooks ever published, 102 of Oliver Cromwell’s “family recipes” were paired with political propaganda. You can buy a copy for £6.99.”
The good news is that it’s an anti-Cromwell book, perfect for a St. Patrick’s Day gift.
The bad news (for hard-core Irish types) is it’s being sold by the Cromwell Museum.
Nice, Brother Ali is a Minnesoda/Sconnie boy with a little bit of an antigovernment streak.
Hip hop is not my thing, nor is religion, but I’ll listen to anybody dissing the government.
I thought most, if not all the Dead Sea Scrolls have been debunked as texts written hundreds and hundreds of years after the era of Christ.

In fact, fuck the History Channel. It became unwatchable at least a decade ago.
“Let’s ruin everything we do by sandwiching it between manufactured drama and shitty editing.”
Forged in Fire is the only program they have left standing that’s even remotely tolerable.
…I liked Vikings.
I liked “Vikings” too at first, but it went downhill. Season three? Or two? I can’t remember. It’s been a while since I watched it.
To be honest, I kinda stopped watching after the season they invaded Paris the second time(I think) but were thwarted by Rollo.
Perfect summary. They pretend like they have all this obscure knowledge like they didn’t just google it 5 minutes before. (Uh, so completely different from glibs?)
‘…so completely different from glibs?’
Don’t harsh my comment history, man.
*hits bowl*
Imagine Cliff Claven was the only person with internet access.
I imagine if that were the case his barmates would have drawn and quartered him after season three.
Pretty sure that describes the bible too. It’s not like it was a breaking news scenario or something. And, it was subject to many edits and revisions.
“debunked”
Woah woah: I’ve got the REAL Bible right here recorded in Middle English as Moses and Jesus spaketh.
The Book of Eli?
Do we all get a Mila Kunis lookalike disciple?
I walked into a KJV only church once. My wife was the only one not wearing a full length dress and the pastor made a joke about dancing being sinful that I wasn’t sure was really a joke.
Hard. Pass.
In basic training, (Fort Leonard Wood) I went to some church that came and took us off post. Don’t remember what kind it was, but there was dancing and singing and snakes. Fucking snakes. I was Ok with it though, because it was off-post, and there was cookies and women serving juice.
But I did not go back.
I have had it with these motherfucking snake in this motherfucking church!!!!

Hey Neph, many thanks for your cocktail series. I got some lime juice and some gin and have been dipping my toe in the water with gimlets this week. The hope is to expand the liquor cabinet faster than we drink it, but I’m not sure that’s feasible.

Our One True God now has a sequin pillow made to celebrate his image.

Re the monarchy in the UK and its commonwealth – they’ve watered down the monarchy’s power so much they may as well be republics. Now it’s just a matter of paying some sketchy family to play dress-up and act as decoration for state occasions. One side-effect – or side benefit – is that the public can get occupied by the soap-opera lives of many in the family. In America we have Hollywood for that. In fact, we have all sorts of celebrities nowadays in all countries – I only need look at, say, the Daily Mail to discover some scantily-clad celebrities in some kind of scandal or photo shoot. If the subsidized soap opera was ever cost-efficient (and lord forbid I concede that it ever was), it isn’t so now.
I may be completely off base here, but as I understood it prior to the Commie Cough the tourism cash generated to see their antiquated bullshit exceeded the costs to the U.K.’s public funding for the institution. Despite being completely ineffectual at this point, the Monarchy still had an intrinsic value.
Now? Not so sure.
Good point, I hadn’t thought of the tourists.

Greenwald, intent of turning me gay with the constant stream of erections he’s been giving me.

But figuratively speaking, probably.
It’s a bit sad for me to see Reason, a once beacon of liberty (in general), having succumbed to TDS, and now being out libertarian-ed by what most would call a progressive.
I used to buy the paper version when that’s all there was. I used to fold them and shove them in my shirt to ride home on my motorcycle and read the whole thing, cover to cover. Now, I only go there for LOLs when directed by someone from here ( which is almost never.) R.I.P.
I’m hoping that with TDS in their rear view and Dalmia on the skids that maybe some good will return. The Reason Foundation and the wonky sides of that organization are still doing God’s work.

I gave Timmy an honest effort for several months more than a year ago. Maybe two.
He comes so close to waking up to the bullshit that saturates his ideology but can’t quite make the leap to denounce it entirely. Kinda like Jimmy Dore.
I like Jimmy more. He’s far more snarky/funny.
Meant Robert, but Tim works for that as well.
Heh, I’m an idiot.
Which reminds me, Leonard Piekoff used to have a radio show in L.A. back around 1990 or so. It was pretty good. He had a book called ” The ominous parallels” about the American left and it’s similarity to Nazi Germany, in the 1980’s!!! People should have listened to him back then.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Yeah.
Too bad he’s been unpersoned. He has his own following in his own little corner of the web, but too few are exposed to him and his writing to make much difference.
On a side note, I bet his “link and screenshot repository” is fucking massive.
I’m happy he doesn’t have giant reach. His motivation is to rehabilitate the media and get them to act like journalists. The more bullshit they pump out the better. Journocollapsitarianism.
Journalists: “C’mon Glenn, whadda ya want us to do, actually read the thing?”
Greenwald, intent of turning me gay with the constant stream of erections he’s been giving me.
He’s bringing the heat, but have you seen Glenn? If that’s who’s turning you gay, you didn’t have that far to turn. (no homo/NTTISATWWT).
Less tongue in cheek (“are we not doing ‘phrasing’ anymore?”), I admit to a certain thrill when seeing a lefty start properly calling out his own side, like Greenwald or Taibbi, but never forget that they’re still of the left – they don’t generally object to an overbearing state, they just thing it’s currently being done incorrectly.
_maybe_ Glenn is on a journey away from statism, but I’m not sure about that.
Lol
He’s not what most would call attractive (including me).
But ain’t smart, with a willingness to completely bash government and it’s lapdog media partners, the new sexy?
He’s not a looker. So what.
I know nothing about him but I bet he’s got a nice side-piece.

A set fit for a dump truck.
I won’t begrudge the spudknockers their holiday, though being rather fond of snakes, I’ll celebrate the feast day of St. Gertrude of Nivelles instead.

Woke looks to be reaching its shelf life relatively soon. Wonder what insanity the collectivists will cook up to replace it. They aren’t gonna just give up.
God I hope so. It’s so out-of-control.
Woke looks to be reaching its shelf life relatively soon.
I’m not seeing it.
Me neither. What makes you think so Straff?
Remember “When they go out into the Real World” and “Get Woke, Go Broke”?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Everything comes to an end eventually. The pushback to woke has solidified at a hard 30% and another soft 20~30% on top of that. All the low hanging fruit has been gathered by the wokesters and the are not going to gain converts among the remaining people. Once that happens, the facade of inevitability crumbles and many will become former wokesters.
Or you’ll all wind up shot against a wall.
It’s the last part that concerns me. I’ll believe the wokesters lost when the upper middle class vocally pushes back.
It’s clearly an effort to bring Asians back into the fold behind all this standing on the dead bodies in Atlanta.
Nothing funnier than that con artist Kendi pretending he’s Very Concerned about anti-Asian racism.
There will always be some version of “wokesters” and always will be. Maybe they win this time. Maybe they don’t. They need to have rapid revolutions to fully take over. The incrementalism is what’s gonna undo them this time. Instead, we’ll probably see a simmering level of tribal warfare until the economic bubbles pop. Then what happens?
And BTW, I’m just guessing and what fun would life be if I knew what was coming?
Really hope it gets shelved soon. It’s pissing me the fuck off almost daily.
I ❤️ my angry sink that chops things.
That is an endearing phrase. Until now, I don’t think I’d never anthropomorphized a disposal unit.
Thanks, WebDom!
That was the best part.
When we built our new kitchen I made sure to get the most angry sink possible. It had pork and beef bone icons on the sides of the box indicating what they would consume.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to explain to my wife that, just because it can, doesn’t mean you should. She likes to shovel heaps of stuff into the damn thing. I’m the one that has to snake it out when it inevitably clogs. Same with hair in the sink. Just don’t let it go down the drain, and I won’t have to snake the fucking thing, dammit!
^^^
A couple years after I bought this place, I replaced the POS contractor special (which had rusted-out) with this Insinkerator – it’s been kicking ass for a decade.
I have septic and can’t have an angry sink.
You can, depending on the specifics. It limits what and how much you can put down there, though.
Well I can’t under code, here.
Big Brother.
Until it refuses to chop things. Then it is pistoffnick’s responsibility to fix the chopper mechanisms. It is usually a plastic spoon or a green scrubbie that is the culprit. The last time involved hammers and chisels (the cheap chisels) to remove green plastic.
Angry sink of doom.
We have angry sinks that chop shit, but not weepy toilets that wash shit off our bums. Maybe there’s room for a cultural exchange.
One of the funniest bits of standup I’ve seen is Craig Ferguson going on about the otherworldly toilet he used in a swank Japanese hotel.
I think it’s in his Netflix special “tickle fight” so I can’t link a clip of it.
Yes!

Good.
Very interesting. This could be a reason for the Supremes to limit presidential discretion.
The US is becoming an international laughingstock Pt. XVIII.
Pro-tip, Joe: The only countries that take this nonsense seriously are the ones that are joining us as we circle down the drain. I.e. the parts of Europe and the Commonwealth countries that you are so eager to play lap-dog to. Nobody in Asia, Africa, or South America is going to sacrifice their desire to git rich just to satisfy your commie fantasies.

I live about a mile from this place. I ate a bootleg meal from there. They are approaching hero status.
Adam Carolla was ranting about their closure yesterday.
Been going to church since May of last year, in person, with maybe 1 in 100 people putting ill-fitting scraps of loose weave t-shirt material on people’s faces.
People congregate and fellowship afterwards
Needless to say our lack of abiding by the ‘official recommendations’ has had no ill effects.
The notion that this guy is a public health menace is absurd

I finally broke into the “peated whiskey” the wife bought me from a local distillery.
The bottle of Lagavulin I have sitting next to it has nought to fear regarding its peaty crown.
On the plus side, she also grabbed some of their pommeau, which is so frickin’ good.

He’s back and he brought his A game.
Praise baby Jesus.
one and done
Q is back and the world gets a little more normal. Congrats on the new one
I would topple Empires for a shot at #4.
I can’t believe WebDom said Q’s balls are filthy. What? Cue balls? Nevermind.
She may be on to something.
A newborn / pandemic is no excuse to neglect your personal hygiene. Wash them nizzuts.
Mac: “I’ve never seen you brush your teeth.”
Charlie: “Yeah? Well you’ve never seen me wash my balls but that doesn’t mean I don’t do it every Friday night.”
Eew. Funny, but eew.
Only your wife knows for sure. How is the missus and Q-ette?

ha, I just looked at the One True God link, and…
I have that thing in my house! my kid was given it as a joke by one of his friends a couple years ago (I guess these sequin pillows with “hidden” images was a big a couple years ago? Idk) . The pillow is a little bit creepy in real life.
OK, I immediately LOLed at the top post in that Reddit thread.
Followed by this which doesn’t seem all that odd to me.
I am too late for this evening’s Glib chatter.
I worked from home today but it was from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, lots of telecons and documents to get through. Adding in laundry, dishes, litter box, dealing with the visiting phlebotomist. dealing with the plumber who is fixing the hit water in one bath, and I was tired.
Then I made scallops and Parmesan risotto. By the time that was done, i was tired.
At 7 PM I took the next syringe of medication from the fridge to let to reach room temp before infusion into the hubs’ arm.
Then I went “to lie down.” At 10:00, the hubs woke me up to do the infusion.
So “lying down” turned into a 3 hour nap. And you know what, I don’t feel guilty.
I just hope I can get that soundly asleep again. Tomorrow is trash day, so I have to get up and wheel out the bins. There is a real possibility I will forget in the next 7 hours…
It’s Thursday, let’s try to finish the week in style my Glib friends,
Hallooo
…or as I like to think of it, Friday Eve!
Good morning, Bob!
Don’t call me Bob.
Oh, wait, you were talking to our resident frisbee golfer in chief.
I will NOT ask your preferred pronouns, but I will happily greet you however you prefer to be addressed.
Until requested otherwise, I’ll gladly say, good morning, UCS!
Good morning to both of youze guys!
Its Disc, not the F word, legalese, for ealsies
Are you still keeping vigil over your initializing disks?
63% 🙁
Then you’re in the home stretch!
A very, very long home stretch… :-/
At least I can connect to work.
And none of my writing depends on the RAID array.
I sent a bit of a verbose reply email.
Finest kind. Got it. Thanks!

That’s some bad luck.
Probably a hit. Maybe he shouldn’t have used that cell phone to tell his “buddies” he was being sprung.
Funny how close they were to the prison but no security cameras…

Tsk, tsk, tsk…shoulda used a revolver fellas.
“California Bill Proposes Removing Cops Who Express Religious Or Conservative Beliefs”
https://thefederalist.com/2021/03/16/california-bill-proposes-removing-cops-who-express-religious-or-conservative-beliefs/
Standard disclaimer: Loosen up the self-defense and firearms laws and stop with the state funded police. Now that that was said, this seems like political and religious repression and of course it’s being couched as “hate groups.”
That headline is meh…but that language in the bill is dubious at best so I guess it works. Especially since they have signaled that ‘extremist are in the ranks” 2 months ago
LOL that’s not straight out of the commie playbook or anything.
Lemme guess… fervent Buddhists have nothing to worry about.
Aaaaaand there’s reportedly an accident on the interstate right at the point where I get on. 🙁
Better leave a little extra time for my commute.
🙁
Call out.

Transparent administrations are so 2009.
I saw a snippet wherein Jen of the rack was trying to field some tough-ish questions. She was like a deer in the headlights. More Ums and Errs than The Hair That Walks As A Man.
The sty has been successfully lanced. It’s kinda weird, wielding a needle so close to your own eyeball. It was not very big, maybe 2 mm but it had to go.
Wheeeee.
Keen! Blonde girl is HM approved Thicc.
