Saturday evening, bringing the heat links

by | Jun 26, 2021 | Admin | 202 comments

…would smell as sweet.

 

Yep, heat advisory for the next week. We’ll be over 100* here. Over on the coast it’s really going to suck, just as hot, plus humidity. Shall we see what the links have in store?

 

Well, the Jews supposedly have space lasers…

 

I want a $60,000 tent.

 

The happiest 41 years of his life?

 

How tough can they be if a piece of cardboard can take down 30 of them?

 

Do we have any limey Glibs?

 

Tonight, lets bookend the career of Grace Slick with the best and the worst.

 

Just…dreck.

    Yep, heat advisory for the next week. We’ll be over 100* here.

    Heat advisory for the Great Land next week, too. Supposed to hit the mid-seventies. A real scorcher.

  2. Ask your doctor if BEAM is right for you

    It’s 90° Fahrenheit outside on my back deck at the moment. Forecast for next Wednesday/Thursday is 102° F.

    Bite me, everyone who says Edmonton never gets warm. At least we have whole-house A/C.

  3. Aloysious

    “We built this city…” has inspired many an argument at work.

    The people that hate that song hate it with the heat of a thousand suns.

    I’m indifferent towards it.

    • Ask your doctor if BEAM is right for you

      It’s a rock song. It ain’t deep.

    • Spudalicious

      “knee deep in the hoopla”?!?

      Heat. Of. A. Thousand. Suns.

      • Sensei

        Jefferson Airplane – Jefferson Starship – Starship – WTF?

        Much prefer White Rabbit, but indifferent to Starship.

      • The Bearded Hobbit

        Blows Against the Empire was the first 8-track that I bought and one of the first CDs. Magnificent album especially compared to the dreck that followed.

  4. Ask your doctor if BEAM is right for you

    I finally found a Canuck who uses the pronunciation “a-BOOT” for the word about! (Although I can’t tell if he’s doing it seriously/un-ironically, or if he’s trolling all the other Canucks…):

         http://www.smalldeadanimals.com/2021/06/26/the-big-three/

    “Canada has failed.”

    You can say that again.

    • Ted S.

      Isn’t the pronunciation closer to a-BOAT anyway?

  5. UnCivilServant

    I have arrived Dayton-adjacent. If another sockpuppet tries to pretend to be me and can’t provide the codephrase, release the information!

    • Rat on a train

      Is the code phrase “I have arrived Dayton-adjacent”?

      • UnCivilServant

        You think I’m going to confirm or deny that on an open platform?

      • Not Adahn

        This is UnCiv we’re talking about. The code phrase is “code phrase.”

      • Aloysious

        That’s beautiful, trashy.

      • hayeksplosives

        Not “guest”? Pam Poovey has a sad.

      • UnCivilServant

        I once set my guest password to ‘remember’ so that when the person I was annoyed with kept asking me what it was I could answer truthfully and they never figured it out.

        Newspaper? Where the hell am I going to find a newspaper?

    Last week’s ADVChina Podcast – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ikoZWcd7-o – a Chinese troll trying to get a Taiwanese youtuber banned gets fined by the CCP for using a VPN to access Youtube. Can’t make this stuff up.

  7. hayeksplosives

    Well, California is trying to fuck me over. Claims it overpaid me for my Family Medical Leave during April, because according to them, I was working.

    I was not. Now I get to try and figure out how to protest.

    The really annoying thing is that the state is going to no effort at all to collect wrongly issued payments for Covid fraud.

    But I’m not a registered Dem here, sooooo…

    • blackjack

      Yeah, they do that kind of stuff out here. Don’t let them win, it’ll only encourage more of it. Try owning a business out here. If I had a nickel for all the hours I spent fighting those bastards, they’d still try and take all the nickels from me.

      • blackjack

        My favorite was, I think, in ’09 when they said, ” based on the previous 5 years, we are imputing an income on you and taxing you at that rate.” I told them they should look and see if anything happened towards the end of that period that might have reduced it some.

    • Animal

      Well, California is trying to fuck me over.

      I should think that goes without saying.

  8. Not Adahn

    Need to clean the .22 for Steel Challenge tomorrow. The dog is asleep on my feet.

    /best problems

    • UnCivilServant

      Is the dog housebroken yet?

      • Not Adahn

        No, and I despair that she will never be, since she’s going to be five months old soon. She seems to be unable to be awake for more than an hour without needing to pee. She’s the only puppy that’s peed in the obedience class. Although she performs the tricks better than anyone else.

        She may need to be a mainly outdoor dog.

    • Sean

      Pew pew pew.

      Good luck tomorrow.

      • Not Adahn

        I got some Browning bulk pack 38gr hollowpoint. We’ll see how they cycle.

        Made by Winchester.

      • Not Adahn

        I’ve been down to bullseye ammo (CCI subsonic) and have been getting inconsistent results. Hopefully this has more kick.

    Cute overload! There is a male California Quail that was sitting on my backyard fence while I floated in the pool. He was uncharacteristically I afraid of me, even when. I made noise and commotion getting out of the pool.

    Now he has hopped down and is leading his dozen baby quails in a line along my fence and up my terraced yard, with momma quail bringing up the rear, and presumably keeping tally of the babies.

    Those little guys are one of my favorite sights.

    Here’s a California Quail pic if you aren’t familiar with them:

  10. Mojeaux

    It is 80* here, 55% humidity and utterly lovely, as it has been for the last few days.

    Somehow we are in the middle of some sort of sweet little dip. I’m hoping the thunderstorms of the last couple of days will continue.

    • The Bearded Hobbit

      Forecast for Thompson Falls, MT for Wednesday: 106F

      Forecast for Jemez Springs NM for Wednesday: 65F

      Crazy world, ain’t it?

    • hayeksplosives

      Nice!

      It’s 84 and sunny here, humidity 43%. Not too shabby. Warm enough to swim, but not oppressive.

      I do miss thunderstorms though. If I do move again, I want to go somewhere with Thunderstorms.

      • Mojeaux

        Ozy mentioned that he will enjoy having thunderstorms again once he moves to KC.

        It’s something I apparently take for granted and should not.

      • blackjack

        The only thing I enjoyed about Pheonix was the monsoons. If I knew there’d be one, I go just to see it again. They only lasted less than an hour though.

      • Not Adahn

        Moving from Tulsa to Houston was a revelation that the entire planet wasn’t covered by a constant wind.

    • blackjack

      L.A. is low eighties with a decent little breeze. They say it’s gonna roast tomorrow. I’m taking the kid back to Mt. Baldy full pipe, so i hope it doesn’t get too crazy hot. We have to hike about a mile on a gentle uphill to avoid the 60 degree incline that almost killed me last time. It was only an eight of a mile, but it was like straight up and loose gravel. I need to figure out a less intensive walk out. After skating for a couple of hours, it’s super hard to exert my self just to get back to the car.

    • Gustave Lytton

      102F/26% at the airport/official NWS station. 93F outside, 73F/47% at the house.

        And the coast is 65F/77%.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Looked Portland home weather stations on Wunderground. Many weather stations at or above 107, some at 110. And tomorrow is supposed to be hotter.

      • zwak

        102* here, according to the weather gizmo on my ‘puter. 98* on the thermometer out the back window.

    Attempt numero uno at sous vide. The strip steaks from a local butcher have been in for an hour, another 15 minutes or so until they’re ready to sear. Potatoes are running about 15 minutes behind that (forgot to pull them out of the ground beforehand).

    Oh, and it’s 60 and rainy here.

    • westernsloper

      Dood, we had some grand thunderstorms roll through the last couple days but they have seemed to mellow today. A bit early for the monsoon season but I would take it other than it made work suck.

    • rhywun

      79 and 74% here. Nice enough to turn the AC off again.

      This morning was gross ~75 and 93%.

      • Hyperion

        Very humid here today. Mid 80s, I didn’t check the humidity, but I’m guessing it’s a least 65%. I have the patio doors open and the AC on. I’m a bad waster of energy and I want to kill Mama Gaia. But it’s nice to duck out there and check my grill, come back in here and sit down under in the AC.

      • kinnath

        My weather station says outside air temp is 72; dew point is 71; 96% relative humidity.

    24-hour staffing was “necessary so that someone doesn’t leave the site and go into the neighborhood and maybe establish their tent there.”

    Comparison Test: 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E vs. 2020 Tesla Model Y

    Interesting that C&D feels the handling is so completely different between the Model Y and Model 3.

    I’m super happy that this will put some pressure on Tesla to improve product and service. That said C&D is seriously downplaying the charging situation for non Tesla EVs. If you plan on traveling at all with an EV buy a Tesla. Other manufacturers rely on 3rd party chargers and full stop they suck. You have a reasonable shot at being unable to charge and/or dealing with non working chargers. I’d expect that to improve as more non Tesla EVs emerge, but that’s at least 2 years out.

    • hayeksplosives

      I will post to Forums a us govt report on EV sales that I receive monthly.

      However, I will forget before I get to my work email account.

      So please prod me to remember!

  25. Hyperion

    Anyone know there’s a great jalapeno conspiracy? Yeah, that’s right. So, for the last few months, all of the Jalapenos I can buy in stores, I mean every store, do not have any heat at all to them. They’re literally no more hot than a green bell pepper.

    So I resorted to buying those sliced ones you can buy in stores in cans or jars. So today, I planned to make salsa and guess what? They’re not a single fucking jar or can of jalapenos at either Fresh Market, or Shoppers (our version of the great unwashed masses store). WTF?

    Here’s the way I’m leaning on this right now. At the border, they are releasing all the Mexican immigrants, but the border patrol are first seizing all of the jalapenos! Jeebus, is there anything that Biden cannot fuck up?

    • blackjack

      I have heard that there’s a shortage of the cascabella peppers they give you at various restaurants like in-n-out and Zankou, but I’ve yet to be denied them.

    • KSuellington

      They’re not sending us their hottest peppers.

      Seriously though, you should move on up to serranos. Those are the fucking bomb.

      Right now I got some jerk chicken on the grill that I made using habaneros.

      • Sensei

        I see what you did there.

      • Hyperion

        Do those have any heat at all?

      • KSuellington

        I’d say serranos are generally hotter than jalapeños. The thing about jalapeños is that there is such huge variation in them. You can get some that you can eat raw and they don’t even burn and others where a little bit has your mouth on fire. Serranos are more consistent with the heat and they have similar flavor profile to jalapeños.

      • Hyperion

        “there is such huge variation in them”

        So much this. The ones I’ve been growing in containers the past few years are HOT. I mean so hot that I put one medium in a gallon of salsa and it is really hot. So hot I had to take the seeds out of half of one because my wife complained about how hot it is.

        Generally, I use 2-3 medium sized ones. The one’s I’ve gotten lately, you can put 3 in there and there’s no heat at all.

        They actually had the Serranos in cans, it’s the Goya ones, I’ll try those next time.

      • blackjack

        I gotta say that serranos are nowhere near as hot as most of the jalapenos around here. We do get the good stuff, though. They actually are sending us their best.

      • Hyperion

        The ones I’ve been growing in containers are crazy hot. I’m not sure if it’s the Miracle Grow potting soil of just the climate.

        The only other time I’ve seen any that hot was back in the 90s when my Mexican friend brought some to work, she has made nachos and chips. Seriously, I used to eat those things by the bushels. I ate few of those and I ran to the coke machine and got a coke and some ice and drank the whole thing, my mouth was on fire, lol.

      • KSuellington

        Really!? You may want to retry some serranos. They aren’t habaneros or scotch bonnets, but I usually find them hotter than an average jalapeño. They are small, but pack a pretty good punch. Pico de gallo with serranos is frigging delicious, I could put that on almost anything.

      • blackjack

        ‘Parently, by scoville units, you are mostly correct. I guess I’ve gotten some weak serranos and some powerful Jalapenos.

      • KSuellington

        I guess that’s the thing blackjack, the variation in heat between individual peppers of the same variety. Just finished a jerk chicken that I used seven habaneros in the marinade. It wasn’t even that hot. I did one with five habaneros a month back and it was tear dripping hot.

      • blackjack

        If peppers were psychoactive like pot, there’d be tens of thousands of people creating precise formulas for growing that resulted in perfectly exact outcomes. It’d be uniform in every instance.

      • Fourscore

        There are jalapenos and there is a look alike, bigger and mild. Seed catalogs will explain the difference, my wife likes hot stuff, I’m a bell person Minnesota sort of guy. I now only grow the true jalapenos and several other varieties that I can’t give away

      • KSuellington

        Jalapeños really take well to pickling. I love the Mexican style with carrots, and onions in,ccuded in the mix. Super tasty, your wife might enjoy it.

      • Shpip

        Set grill to high heat.
        Put jalapenos over direct heat, 90-120 seconds per side. You’re just looking for a decent amount of char.
        Put cooked peppers in a small paper bag for 15 minutes. They’ll continue to steam themselves and loosen their skins.
        Peel the charred skin off the peppers.
        Pickle the way you would any other fruit or vegetable.

    • Sean

      Jalapenos… Get some real peppers.

      I’ve seen the same thing over time. Store bought can be hit or miss, but homegrown have always been much hotter. This is the first year I haven’t even bothered with jalapenos.

      True this. I can’t wait for the million cyclists pile up.

    • Rat on a train

      They weren’t maintaining the 3 foot separation required when passing a cyclist.

      • Hyperion

        Not possible. You know why? Because although they given the cyclist a 15″ wide dedicated bike trail on the side of the road, they ride right down the middle of the fucking road. I have seen a bicycle on that bike lane maybe 2-3 times in 5 years.

        They openly want to make people like Dr. Chet suffer debilitating pain and be unable to lead a normal life.

        Maybe some enterprising group could import them from Mexico

      • blackjack

        Problem is, the “imported” stuff if of varying quality. Sometimes too much is actually way too much with that. The big pharma stuff if exact and much safer because of it.

      So people with chronic, painful conditions who play by the rules either a) can’t get their prescriptions, or b) get their prices jacked up due to artificially reduced supply.

      Meanwhile, junkies can continue to get their fix from the cartels — maybe even with the bonus fentanyl ride (admittedly, a self-correcting problem).

      Guess which ones are the chumps?

        OT: Bimart of all places, is still enforcing masks at entry. I’m kind of surprised because most of their employees have been wearing those face shields for entire time and not masks of any sort.

      • zwak

        Surprised that BiMart is requiring them. The people who tend to shop there are the mask sort.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Yeah, I was too. Was the one in JC too. They had all new signs masks still required. Went in anyway, but that damn swing door buzzer got me.

        Home improvement store down the road has replaced their non compliant signs with “Gov Kunt requires us to ask the vaccination status of anyone entering maskless”. No one asked and more people maskless inside than ever.

        I’m hoping this heatwave pushes some people over the edge.

      • zwak

        Not. Not the mask sort.

        Sheesh.

        I’ve only seen one face shield in the wild; some woman of indeterminate age wrapped up head-to-toe (not a burka, which is common around here) and with one or more masks plus the shield. I’ve seen her multiple times in my neighborhood, and again this morning as I was walking to the grocery store to do my first diaper-free shopping in 14 months.

        Rabbits of color got jacked again!

        At work, there’s been an abundance of cottontails running around. Not sure why, but they are all over out there.

    The temps have returned to seasonal but the drought continues. Normally we’d be at about 1/2 way through the honey production season but with no wildflowers the hives look like Mother Hubbard’s cupboard. Lots of bees in the hives but they aren’t flying out much, nothing to gather. In any event the Honey Harvest will proceed as usual but with less work for the production crew.

    Don’t be surprised if the price of honey goes up disproportionately at your local gourmet shop.

    Speaking of visceral hardwired fear and loathing-

    I was outside enjoying the evening sun, and I noticed a tick on the sleeve of my t shirt.

    I hate those fucking things.

    I’m sure this must’ve warranted a link this week, but in case it was missed this is a hilarious story about Hunter Biden getting ripped off by a Russian hooker and Dementia Joe (and us taxpayers!) likely picking up the tab.

    “ Yanna goes to the cottage. He smokes crack, they drink vodka, have sex, make porn. He balances a line of M&Ms on his erect penis and takes photographs of it.”

      I like how he’s all pissed off that he got kicked out for doing drugs, only because everyone else there is doing drugs also.

      • KSuellington

        Hunter: “Drug use???? You have to be f–king kidding me. I was banned for drug use at the Chateau Marmont. You have to be f–king me … Well that’s a f–king first in the Hotel’s history I guess. Should I take it as a badge of honor? I really mean it, that literally must be a first at the Chateau.”

        He’s not wrong.

        ugh. This reminds me of all the ~shock and dismay going on over Tucker’s rather mild insults for Gen Milley. Amazing how none of them showed the least amount of respect for Flynn or any other military officer under Trump (to say nothing of Trump himself, obviously), but now — omg it’s a war crime to call the CJC a ‘pig’.

        The Democrats really can’t wait to put photos of the Dear Leader on their walls and get people arrested for saying mean things about him.

    Where’s the link to the Zoom?

    Gah! Just had a Chinky food delivery and the fully-masked girl (20 or so) hopped back from me and Festus when I opened the door. I know I’m ugly but not hideously so. What the fuck have they done to the children?

      Festus the Cat is as handsome as all get out.

    The Bayfront Bratfest
    has made a tactical mistake.
    I am a bratwurst connoisseur. I make at least 60 pounds of bratwurst a year for my personal consumption. I make at least 6 different kinds.

    I also like hard cider. I have made my own hard cider.

    $60 to experience several different bratwurst and ciders, is a bridge too far.

    • Festus

      $60 for a DUI? I can get that for $20 downtown, just like Winston’s Mom.

    • rhywun

      It’s not a tactical mistake if it’s catering to the rest of us who value our time differently than you do.

    His most important appointee will be his police commissioner, whom he said would be a woman.

    I can’t believe all the hope people are placing in this clown. It reminds me of a certain president-elect.

        I live a long ways from NYC (and far enough from NYC with palm trees, AKA Miami), but it appears that the primary selected the least-crazy Democrat of the bunch.

        It’s not like this guy’s going to be another Giuliani, but there’s hope that he won’t be another Dinkins.

        And him making his police commish a twofer is just what SJW-run cities do these days.

      • rhywun

        I’m just hoping he’s not gonna be another Deblasio.

      A failure by Adams could usher in the end of the Dems’ dominance in urban America.

      Democratic leaders in these cities could literally be caught on camera murdering a black baby and eating the corpse and still win the next election. They aren’t losing any of their control in urban America.

      Nor is there any actual chance that a Democrat will succeed in cleaning up a city or fixing the issue of police violence. Democratic policies are a complete mess of priorities and more about putting lip stick on a pig to hide from the problems they created in the first place. He’ll appoint a black female commissioner because it checks a box. It’s someone he can trot out there to look good when shit hits the fan. It has nothing to do with effectiveness. There will be a revolving door for violent criminals but the screws will be put down on people for selling loosies to evade the city’s ridiculous taxes. And the root causes of crime? Like, say, the broken black family unit? Yea, Dems aren’t touching that. They’re just about keeping the welfare money flowing and the black votes coming in.

      • Hyperion

        People are fleeing these cities, yet they will need to generate even more revenue for all their new proggy programs, with less of a tax base. It’s going to be a fucking disaster. It’s already a disaster, but running off your tax base and promising new and even more generous give aways will be the death of these cities.

    • Hyperion

      “His most important appointee will be his police commissioner, whom he said would be a woman.”

      My most important choice, and I’m going to decide that not based on merit, but sex, race, or whatever. Fucking brilliant. These assholes will be the end of the USA as we’ve known it.

      • rhywun

        The Post has been pumping this guy up for weeks and this is the first time they’ve mentioned anything about his sexist pick for commish.

        Man, are they gonna have egg on their face. I mean, if they had any shame.

      • LCDR_Fish

        Well all this was only the Primary – may be they’ll start pushing the R candidate now that “crazy as a loon” is off the table.

    Well, the College World Series finals will be an all SEC affair again.

    While I think NC State got jobbed (forfeited by the NCAA due to COVID hysteria), the Mississippi State walk-off was kinda exciting.

        Since Jugsy is reluctant to venture out into the concrete jungle of NYC alone, Ive been encouraging her co-worker to drag her to the Carnegie Deli for a Ruben.
        Fun fact- Ive seen co-worker during out video chats, and she’s a thicc broad from Montenegro. Absolute smokeshow.
        I dont think I scored any points when I told Jugsy, “bring that home with you”.

        “The Bidens” is a sandwich the owner of Lori’s Oy Vey Cafe! put together in honor of the president and first lady.”

        I wonder if Lori has a 2nd home on the beach like Joe & Jill. Or realizes that he & his pals would happily put her place out of business w/o a thought.
