Sometimes you overdo it. You lifted too much, ran too far, chafed (drink!) your legs riding your bike, or rowed for an entire F1 race. You need some relief. That relief nearly always comes from some type of painkiller. I suppose you could drink until you don’t feel anything, but I can’t recommend that in GlibFit.
There are two main classes of over-the-counter pain medicines: acetaminophen (Tylenol) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Acetaminophen works by dulling pain receptors in the brain. NSAIDs lower the production of prostaglandins. These hormone-like chemicals irritate nerve endings, causing inflammation and pain. Common NSAIDs include aspirin, Advil, Motrin, and Aleve. NSAIDs are also available as creams, think Ben-Gay or Aspercreme.
Aspirin starts to work in about 15 minutes and brings meaningful relief in about 45 minutes. NSAIDs have a broader range of times before they take effect. Ibuprofen, for example will likely bring some relief in 15- 30 minutes (this does vary from person to person) but takes one to two hours to reach full effect.
Moving beyond sore muscles, you may want to pay attention to chronic inflammation. Many major diseases that plague us—including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression, and Alzheimer’s—have been linked to chronic inflammation. Needless to say, adhering to a diet that avoids inflammation has significant health benefits.
Foods that cause inflammation:
- refined carbohydrates, such as white bread and pastries (Mmm doughnuts)
- French fries and other fried foods
- soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages
- red meat (burgers, steaks) and processed meat (hot dogs, sausage)
- margarine, shortening, and lard
Anti-inflammatory foods include:
- tomatoes
- olive oil
- green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, kale, and collards
- nuts like almonds and walnuts
- fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, tuna, and sardines
- fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, cherries, and oranges

I’ve got a loaf of bread just about to go in the oven. I should have tuna sandwiches this week to counteract it then.
French fries and other fried foods

More shit.
I’ve been a bit inconsistent with the gym last week. The cold is gone. This week will be a bit rough for getting into the gym on a regular schedule.

Oh yeah
For what it’s worth, my wife’s grandfather ate nothing but red meat his entire life, mostly hamburgers, and lived to 99 (almost made 100) without dementia, diabetes, stroke, or heart attacks, and in excellent shape for his age. He liked bread, and especially loved those greasy rolls they have at buffet style restaurants. Anecdotal, sure. But most of the people I know who lived long healthy lives didn’t do anything out of the ordinary.
Also, he clearly didn’t have dirt on the Clintons.
?
Am I the only person that thinks inflammation is being over-hyped in the past few years? Seems to me that effect is being confused with cause.
Not sure if I’d say it’s over-hyped but given the huge number of overweight Americans walking around and the unwillingness of anyone to tell them to get healthy, I’d say it’s probably an issue with a pretty simple solution.
So much this.
So, you think we are in an Inflammationary Cycle?
Hate to deflate you, but you’re theory is all hot air.
Putin’s inflammation hikes!
“So, you think we are in an Inflammationary Cycle?”
Depends. Has Q posted any links yet?
Well, I probably did exactly the right amount of deadlifting this morning. Going from how I feel now, one more would have been too many. Topped out at 5 x 195. My form was breaking down, so I didn’t goo for the 2-handle. Maybe next week.
I am sore, and will be sore, but I don’t take painkillers. I’ll live.
I start my day with cookies and coffee. Is that wrong?
(Dark) Chocolate>Cookies>Pie>Doughnuts>Candy>Cake.
Fight me. Or slap me around a little, if you are binary-female.
So, I meant you’re good.
Gave up fried foods for lent. I rarely drink sugary beverages anymore. You can have my red/processed meats when you pry it from my cold, dead hand.
Phoenix used to be such a great track, and napcar just completely ruined it.
Green tea and turmeric are also anti-inflammatory. I like to do little experiments with supplements where I will take a particular one religiously for 30 days and note any effects and avoid any other dietary changes. For 30 days I drank only green tea instead of coffee every morning and one cup of turmeric tea every evening. Noticeable improvement in general aches and pains. I now incorporate both more regularly (though I have always consumed a lot of green tea).
I think Warty said it best: don’t eat fat fuck foods. I suspect most American health problems come from eating a bunch of shitty processed food.
Now excuse me while I finish my Five Guys burger.
so that’s why turmeric is suddenly everywhere. I had no idea what it was supposed to be doing for people, I just saw the supplement section awash in the stuff.
rowed for an entire F1 race.
Heh, _literally_ just finished rowing for an hour while watching Drive To Survive (~10k meters, ~ 750 kcals); gotta get back in form for the upcoming season.
I tend to avoid pain-killers unless I really need something and then it’s usually just aspirin. I haven’t taken acetaminophen in years – I, uh, like a drink and acetaminophen and alcohol do _not_ go together (unless you want a new liver).
My diet falls into “pretty good, could be better territory”; I mostly don’t eat the things on your first list, and mostly do eat the things on the second list. I want animal protein on my salad (the kale caesar with steak I get at the local places is just so, so good) and not a big fan of fruit.
I confess I also ate the fries that came with my steak the other night.
750 kcals!?! Congratulations on losing 20 pounds in one session.
???
I thought a lb. of fat was about equal to 3500 calories (or kcals if you want to be technical).
https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/kcal-vs-calories#differences
I stand corrected.
After adventures in ulcers, I won’t touch NSAIDs. Judicious use of Tylenol only, thanks. I apparently have a fairly high tolerance for pain (except that damned blood pressure cuff), so…
In the hospital when I was almost fully out of it, one thing I do remember was being given a pain pump so I could press the button and get some painkillers. I was told I could press it every 10 minutes. I remember pressing it about 3 times and then later someone said, “Well, you’re not using it, so I guess we’ll just take it away.”
I agree on avoiding NSAIDs in order to protect my stomach from gastritis.
My go-to used to be Tylenol but that is contraindicated for liver health.
CBD oil is amazing, but not allowed for federal contractors even though it doesn’t have THC.
So I just grin and bear it. Builds character I guess.
You should try targeted CBD gummies.
It ONLY CBD, and doesn’t contain any THC or other cannabis terpenes to trip a drug test.
They originally made it for parents who wanted a 0% TCH alternative to give to their children.
Sadly, it’s not just about passing the test. The way the regulations are written, we aren’t allowed to ingest/inhale ANYTHING derived from cannibis. Really silly rule.
Suppositories are ok then?

ah nuts….guess you need admin rights (or other tags ;p).
https://morbotron.com/video/S02E16/kHJ4_TRsT3mT18q_8Ypz5jwqg1Q=.gif
Lol. Not going to find out.
I did use a rub-in CBD cream on my back when I broke it in 2019. I don’t know if it absorbed enough to be detectable and I don’t plan to find out if it would meet the regulations.
As are injections, apparently.
Or transdermal patches.
You are a red head, right? I read somewhere that most red heads have higher pain tolerance.
I do not. I take a generic Aleve every morning to help with the arthritis. Just before I had my knees replaced, they made me stop that. It was a very painful 7 days.
Thanks to having some fucked-up shoulders and other assorted age-induced aches/pains. I take a full 1g of aspirin each night before I go to work (Bayer Back & Body).
Luckily, I’ve never had stomach issues. The downside is that if I so much as nick myself at work, let alone a decent laceration, it bleeds and bleeds and bleeds….
I know that routine, even if my aspirin is a 81mg. The slightest bump on the backs of my hands caused black skin for weeks. The heart seems to work OK, slow and steady.
Now try being on real blood thinners.
It was truly terrible. Someone could flick me, and I’d develop a bruise the size of a softball that lasted a month or more. They never hurt, but holy shit were they ugly.
The first time I shot a rifle on blood thinners, I had a massive bruise about the size of a volleyball on my arm, back. Turned everything color of the rainbow, and lasted nearly 6 weeks.
Man, fuck that stuff.
Yep. I’m on the rat poison for the rest of my life. Feckin’ Dutch ancestors.
I don’t know who to blame. No one in my family line had premature heart attacks, yet here I am, having had 2 heart attacks by the time I was 40.
Fortunately I’m only on baby aspirin, but I was on blood thinners for 18 months after each heart attack to allow time for stents to settle in.
I was advised by several different hospital-folk that ibuprofen helped wreck my colon so I’m on the acetaminophen train now too.
I’ll only take acetaminophen for a fever, since otherwise it makes me feel clammy, as if it’s lowering my body temp whether I need it to or not. No known stomach issues (::knocks wood::) so I take two ibuprofen right before bed to try to prevent my wonky right shoulder (my “old mime injury”) from pinching a nerve and sending sharp pain down my arm when I sleep on my side.
A mime in a terrible thing to waste.
Due to a neck injury, either hand will routinely go numb and/or get painful when I sleep. Ive learned that a slight neck position adjustment either way makes it go away almost immediately. Also explains why my sleep is rough at best.
Speaking of- I work tonight. Im going to bed.
I ended up with a small bowel obstruction, which, according to the gastroenterologist, was due to daily motrin and aspirin I was taking for the pain from my crushed spine from bone marrow cancer. Two abdominal surgeries later, it still flares up on occasion. So much for being good and trying to avoid addictive meds.
How did I miss this last year?
https://thefederalist.com/2021/04/16/vatican-invites-abortion-advocate-chelsea-clinton-to-talk-about-health-and-the-soul/
I mean, you can look at anyone on that list and say the same. What the fuck makes Chelsea Clinton qualified to talk as an expert on anything, though?
I imagine that she’s been instructed on how to thoroughly wipe things (like with a cloth), shred documents, and induce suicides by rounds to the back of the head.
Network security likely isnt in her wheelhouse.
She’s the child of not one but two mafia bosses.

regular person with the nation’s ear: what qualifies them to lecture me!?
PhD with 20 years’ experience: oh, another so-called expert…..wonder who he’s on the take from; aha: he worked at the UN after a decade at Johns Hopkins…total scam!
the only way to weigh anyone’s contribution is to weigh their contribution
I’d be happy to listen to the PhD.
I don’t feel obligated to take everything he says as the gospel truth.
good
it’s not like there’s a monolithic commitment to both responses; it’s more that there’s a lot of patience for both responses when they come up
I’m certainly not defending the Clintons; other than Lachowsky, I’ve probably known more about them longer than almost everyone here (can see Arkansas from porch)
Can you see Russia from your porch, too ?
What I find far more frustrating is that I can listen to the experts, look at their actual scientific findings, see that the actual studies and findings do not agree with the “consensus” or “conventional wisdom” or “what rational people believe” or whatever you want to call it, sometimes dramatically; and yet I can’t bring that up in polite conversation without being branded a conspiracy theorist or worse.
It’s like the mask thing, I’ve actually read the studies, with a focus on RCT’s which are the gold standard of scientific research, and they all conclude that masks don’t work for viruses, including COVID. But try to tell that to people that who aren’t anti-mask already, and you get noses in the air, and “I think I’ll trust what the experts say, thank you.”
Even those well educated people to include some in the medical fields.
I think you missed the bigger picture – who gives a fuck about whom the Vatican invites to talk? Personally, I think a Clinton is right up their alley.
What’s the common denominator? An elitist establishment with a coordinated agenda and an army of lackeys looking for the most effective person to put in front of the microphone to push the agenda. The act of appearing at the Vatican or on CNN or wherever is, in and of itself, discrediting. At the least, they’re unwitting, naive participants in the scam. All too often, they’re in on the whole thing.
Well, she was born to the people with the right beliefs, went to the right schools, so that makes her an expert on just about everything. And she is better than you by default.
The regular clown emoji will not suffice.
This needs to be standard.
They’ll even sell you a mask to wear in the store. Can’t be too safe, ya know.
Nice vintage web design.
Stand up for your rights
As many people return to more pre-pandemic behaviors, this can feel like an especially perilous moment for older people, those with weak immune systems and other health problems that make the virus especially dangerous. Parents of kids too young to get vaccinated are worried too. Many feel left behind and angry.
Golden is one of the many healthy people who aren’t necessarily at high risk but who nonetheless are also feeling out of sync with the world around them.
It can be tricky to adjust, experts agree, and hard to deal with the social pressure to shrug off COVID worries. Their advice is that it’s OK to hold on to your own sense of what’s safe and take your time coming out of the bunker.
Embrace your government-issue manufactured hypochondria and germophobia. Don’t let those terrorists buffalo you.
NPR knows its customer.
In my observation, old people were the FIRST to say “Fuck these masks.”
It’s the young, those under 25 or 30, who are still screaming “DANGER!”
It’s people who chose to swallow the government line, not people who are genuinely scared to unmask because Health.
I think I’ve mentioned my barber before, “Fritz”. He’s been cutting my hair since I was 5 or 6.
He’s 74 now, and when we had a “lockdown” he still ran his clandestine hair-cutting business when everyone else was closed.
His take is “Look, I took 1 shot so I could play on my golf league. But fuck hiding inside the house. There’s still too much out there to do.”
I heard my first mask shaming today. We were playing tennis and my daughter’s coach was on the next court with a couple of masked up girls (9 or so years old). After a few minutes, it was clear that the masks were an impediment to breathing, and she laid into the parents for forcing the kids to wear them outside on a windy day while physically exerting themselves. “It’s nice to see your beautiful faces now!” was her response when they took them off.
I signed daughter up for an additional month of lessons after that. Sane people get my business.
Masked up outside never make any fucking sense and anyone enforcing that now SHOULD be shamed.
That’s how Michelle Forman, 42, feels. “It does feel like a sort of like a weird in-between time,” she says. “It does feel strange. It feels uncomfortable, you know, being in a store and seeing people without masks.”
Forman, who lives in Kensington, Md., with her husband and two kids, says masks feel “a little bit like a like a security blanket.” Wearing them, “feels normal, and it feels reassuring,” she says.
So even though they’re all fully vaccinated and healthy too, they’ll keep masking around other people, to protect themselves, and others from COVID-19 and long COVID. And they still aren’t eating inside restaurants or going to the gym or movies.
And it’s high fives all around for the public health
expertsfart-sniffers.Who’s going to tell them that none of that works and “long covid” isn’t even a thing?
The poor kids.
It must be a helluva let down after 2 years of “playing by the rules” to find out it was for naught. Many, however, will never give up not believing it saved their life.
I can’t remind my friends though, I have so few left that I still take what I can get.
This.
Despite Omicron blowing shit mask theory out of the water, and shit vaccine theory to a lesser extent, they still hang on because they simply won’t believe that the last 2 years were complete bullshit.
Life is not worth living if I can’t have bratwurst and bacon-wrapped jalapeños. Also French fries, but those are easier to limit.
red meat (burgers, steaks) and processed meat (hot dogs, sausage)
According to whom?
I avoid all pain killers except tequila.
I eat pretty well, I like fresh veggies and fruit. The missus loves rice/noodles. We rarely eat potatoes and bread is mostly the colored with seeds and stuff in it.
An 81 mg aspirin daily for the last 35 years, seems to work for me. Since Mrs F grew up where pork and chicken were the dominant farm animals we eat a lot of that. I have to eat one deer a year by myself.
I need to go fishing this summer, I like both catching and eating. Need some help with the boat so if anyone wants a vacation in lake country I’ve got a place for you to stay and I’ll act as the fishing guide.
Seems I have the 1st week of June off and no plans. Ill get back to you.
That’ll work
I first read that as “pork and children” and did a double-take!
Common NSAIDs
I’m told these interfere with ACE inhibitors such as my blood pressure medication, but somehow I’m allowed to take a couple of Aleve on golf days; YMMV

Gigachad Mosin-Nagant
Watched it earlier this week. It was fun.
Pros: It shoots bullets.
Cons: Everything else.
*sob*
Oooohh, that was very smooth, how he forgot that the Mosin-Nagant uses the sear as the bolt stop and accidentally field-stripped the rifle while testing the trigger. Very, very smooth.
The instructor at the NRA RSO class brought his Moisin-Nagant to teach us how to clear it. He was insistent that it wasn’t loaded from the top — you were supposed to open the magazine floor plate and load it from underneats.
I am so unimpressed with that class.
How do you confuse a Mosin with a RSC?
The vast majority of NRA instructors would be better served turning tricks at interstate truck stops, than trying to teach people how to shoot.
Chafed!
I won’t take any anti-inflammatories any more. I do enough liver abuse as it is!
Great topic. Reducing inflammation should be the number one GlibFit goal. It truly is the root of all ill-health.
Red meat is not inflammatory, though. That’s propaganda.
As usual, the answer is food, movement and sleep.
I had another mediocre week this week. Not sure wtf is going on, but I’ve had no appetite, my workouts have been shit and my sleep garbage. However, I just got back from a nice 6 mile hike so I’ve decided that this bullshit ends today.
Have a great week, Glibfitters!
Oh, and GREAT song choice this week!
I thought it would tickle your fancy.
I’ve never had any real trouble falling asleep and staying asleep until the Vid Panic. I’ve experimented around a bit and found that while 3-5 mg of melatonin does a good job of putting me out, I noticed being a bit groggier in the morning and needed more caffeine to get going. Lately I have been taking magnesium and ashwagandha an hour before bed and it seems to be helping me to get back to sleep easier when I wake up in the middle of the night. I’m going to keep going with it as both of those have other beneficial effects and they are pretty cheap supplements. It may work for you.
I don’t often have much trouble sleeping, and I do a ton of bad stuff in the hours before bed. Sometimes I wonder how much better it could be if I cut that shit out.
If you’re falling asleep easily and staying asleep I’d say you probably don’t even need to mess with it too much.
I think what I need is more sleep. I drag in the morning more than I would like.
Thanks! I supplement with magnesium, but melatonin is ineffective for me.
I’ve not used ashwagandha before – I’ll check it out!

Obama got Covid.
Hahahahaha!
Sophisticated, vaccinated…
Me: 27 months of no symptoms of cold, flu or rona. Unjabbed, obviously.
If only it were Ebola
Huh. Same here.
The last significant infection (read: one I could actually detect by having any symptoms whatsoever) was in October of 2019 in (wait for it) northern Italy; weirdest “cold” I ever had, and now I’m wondering if it was in fact COVID, since northern Italy was one of the first places it showed up outside of China.
I had a cold that lasted longer than normal at Christmas 2019. No idea if it was covid.
I think I got the ‘cron around Xmas because they said it was so infectious and I hadn’t been sick in years. Survived, obviously.
I was certainly exposed to omicron cause my partner tested positive in early January. He had a cold for a few days; we didn’t try to isolate from each other. By the time he started feeling better he received a positive test result.

Touché
Last weekend I did a 100K ride up in the great state of Jefferson. About 40 degrees, windy and a little snow on the ground. The longer course had some current and former pros who blew by me like I was standing still. A beautiful ride, but harder than some of the hundred milers I’ve done.
I’m not a cyclist, so how long does that take?
Those of you who choose to take acetaminophen (Tylenol), might want to consider supplementing with NAC (N-Acetylcysteine).
Even those who don’t should take it.
Tundra! I think you were the one last week who recommended the mouth-taping technique to prevent snoring. My wife thanks you.
Awesome!
It really is magic. I’m glad momma won’t murder you.
For snoring, anyway!
Now she wishes she could tape your mouth shut the rest of the day, amirite? :-p
Mouth taping? Sounds a lot cheaper than roofies!
Because NAC can also help with viral illnesses, some people were recommending it as a way to reduce Covid symptoms/severity. So, of course it was treated like Ivermectin, with Amazon and others removing it from being purchased. I got mine at Swanson, who continues to offer it.
Sprouts has it, too.

Sunday Night Football programmers heave a huge sigh of relief in not having to think of alternate teams to program in that space.

That, unfortunately, is a distinct possibility.

In this context…I think some observations on Russia can be used for China (ie. low level of NCO involvement, lack of practical exp, not sure about skill at firefighting/damage control on ships, ability to improvise/flex) – but in a Air/Naval conflict the numbers there are still a major issue given the geography and they have a LOT of very good anti-ship missiles.

I don’t follow that game but if it means “shoulda stayed retired” I wholeheartedly agree.
I’m not a superfan of football and I’m already sick of that mug.
Brady’s life has been defined by his career do so long, I imagine that realizing it was over was something like post-partum depression or grieving the loss of a dear friend. He’s in the denial phase now, trying to “undo” the sense of loss.
Probably should have quit after his latest Super Bowl win, gone out on top.
That was his first season with a new team though right? Probably needed more on the contract.
He had a great year this past season and came in second for league MVP. He came up short of the Super Bowl because of his team’s defense, not because of his play. It’s not like he stayed a year too long, yet anyway.

There are degree to everything, doesn’t change the fact that defacing someone else’s property is wrong.
Of course.
Unless the owner thinks it’s hilarious (likely).
A wag more enterprising than I could counter this beef by releasing a package of refrigerator magnets instead, for the conscientious objector.
Would that mess up the computer and dick up the charge?
A thin fridge magnet wouldn’t be enough to affect the computer or the card reader.
The ease of removal doesn’t change the fact that someone will have to expend some amount of time and energy to do so. (assuming the owner wants doesn’t want them on his pump)
Maybe the owner could take his or her complaints up to the supplier. And the supplier up to the gas company. And the gas company up to the Big Guy.
I’ve seen them on cardlock pumps too.
Speaking of Glibfit, I submitted my permit application to climb Mount Whitney this summer. It is the tallest peak in the lower 48. It’s a non technical climb in the summer, about 22 miles to summit and back. It can be done in about 14 hours. It’s 14,505 feet tall and the elevation gain is 6200 from the trailhead. We are hoping to get an overnight permit and camp out one night at 11k feet at Consultation Lake. For any Glib that might want to do it get on it today or tomorrow as the permit lottery ends tomorrow. It’s 6 bucks to apply for a permit. Hoping we get it this year as last year I didn’t win one.

Sweet!
I’m gonna do a couple 14ers this summer, too. Is Whitney very technical, or just brutal?
I’ve never done it before and am stoked to get a chance to try. It’s a non technical climb once the snow melts if you take the Mt Whitney trail. There are technical climbing routes, but the trail is just arduous I have been told. I absolutely love that part of the Sierras, very stark beauty. Close by are some of the oldest (if not oldest) trees in the world.
I tried many years ago to climb Mount Shasta which is just a bit lower. That you need cramp-ons and ice axe to do, even in the summer. We failed due to some bad planning but got pretty high up. If we win the permit I’m going to get to the top. Happy hiking Tundra!
You too, brother!
Sounds amazing.
Neither. It is actually a cakewalk, and there is a back door to it from the east side (Whitney Portal). I did it as a boy scout 35-40 years ago when there was no permitting. Things have changed since then. I friend of mine did it a couple years ago, and said the worst thing was piles of shit. Literally.
What the fuck? Do people not understand burying shit?
Well, some people can give a shit, but not take it.
I do know that in the ultralight backpacking scene, toilet paper is frowned upon, so they use smooth rocks.
I can’t even.
Hard pass.
Well, that is kinda the idea.

This is just one of the many ways that hyperlighters are weird.
I know on Shasta they gave you a gallon ziploc with a shit target to pack out your waste. Of course people have to fuck it up.
The trail up Whitney can be brutal coming down. You are tired and have to do thousands of vertical feet and the fronts of your thighs will know it. The nice thing is you pass close to Mt Muir and can take a quick detour and bag a second 14er.
There is a non-technical route up the East Face called the “Mountaineers Route” which John Muir did the first ascent. Until late in the summer an ice ax and maybe at least instep crampons are a good idea. I got my high school aged kids up and back in a day. The day included headlamps at both ends but it was a day. Much more scenic and less people, and shit. In the 1990s you didn’t need to get a permit for that way as long as you weren’t going to establish a camp.
Sounds like a great time!
Ugh.
Dems are pushing for Nevada to become “first in the nation” by scheduling it’s presidential primary before Iowa’s caucus.
I do not look forward to the boost in political activity here.
I hate that whole system. There’s something wrong about it that I can’t quite put my finger on, but it seems like there has to be a better way. Maybe one primary day nationwide? I dunno.
I suspect this is something the forefathers didn’t anticipate, so therefore it became a shit-show.
‘I hate that whole system. There’s something wrong about it that I can’t quite put my finger on’
For one: Staggered primary/caucus results influence the more herd minded portions of our voting citizens to bandwagon/follow the perceived political winds. Let them all happen at once. Don’t allow the wealthy and politically connected the flexibility to manipulate further election results. Force them into a out all their eggs into one narrative and let’s see what happens.
Just my two pennies for the ferryman.
No state involvement in primaries what-so-ever. Let the parties choses their candidates in what ever manner they see fit (and fund it themselves), the state should only be involved in general elections.
Works for me.
Oh, and the rules for getting on that general election ballot need to be identical for everyone, none of this automatically putting on the R’s and D’s or what ever party might have met some past criteria. Every election you all start from zero, If first timer and unaffiliated Joe Blow has to get X number of signatures in X percentage of the precincts then so does your Trump’s Clinton’s Biden’s Bush’s etc…
It’s a cynical cash grab via political donations. First in line for the slush fund.
I’m feeling really unappreciated around here. I need to be told I’m loved. You people owe me.
Thank you.
Get ya some.

Howdy, early work day up here, how’s the World?
/Covfefe!
Morning!
Time to make the donuts.
Good morning, Sean & Yu!
Heh. I watched that last night, too.
(Just kidding. I actually dozed off through most of it. #postDSTdisorder)
My internal clock hasn’t adjusted to the stupid clock change.
It wasn’t until shortly before I went to bed last night that I finally got my external clock adjusted to the stupid clock change by syncing up with the Atomic Clock in CO.
I’m trying to use the excessive after hours time to ask for today off, but haven’t heard back from anyone who has to approve it. So I’m connected remotely, and checking email. No non-recurring meetings today.
Did you at least get the work done in a reasonable amount of time Saturday?
6 hours
There’s more to be done (on different systems) tuesday and wednesday this week
I’m off today because Dad has a doctor’s appointment in Poughkeepsie he’s not allowed to drive himself home from.
Dad hasn’t updated the Garmin in a few years, and it was giving hilariously bad directions.
Poughkeepsie? I’m sorry.
I’m in a dump of a diner right now, but the service was very quick.
Oh, and the sidewalks have barely been cleared.
Is he picking his feet?
Good luck, hope your dad is OK.
Needless to say, I’m at a diner because the facility’s covid theater won’t let non-patients inside except to sign out patients.
The bullshit will never end, will it?
Nice. I like the display – took me a while to find those big blue digits myself. I had to set the time manually, though.
I love the display, too. but the design is a bit too sleek and high-tech. The various buttons on tip are lined up flush with each other, so I had to stick a piece of Velcro on the snooze button to differentiate it from the others. And getting it set to the correct time zone may require a STEM degree.
The buttons and switches on my alarm are neatly separated so the half-asleep user is able to find the correct one by touch.
I wish I’d thought about that when I was shopping, but I got suckered in by the big, pretty blue numbers. ?

Thank you coronapanickers for tucking up the supply chains.

Gross.
Just because it can be made doesn’t mean it should be made.
Mornin’, reprobates. Hope this coating of snow I am looking at is the last one of the winter. Brrr.
Good morning, ‘patzie (and Stinky and Sheldon)! We got that snow Friday, and it was bitterly cold Saturday, but it’s warmed up considerably already, and predicted to get to upper 60s/70ish this week, so…yay!
*looks at forecast*
50s all week oh my ?
60s all week and 66 on friday?
It’s going from snowstorm to sweltering in days?
🙁
It’s called Climate Change. Formerly known as “March”.
66 is sweltering?
Yes.
And good morning to you (and you, and you!)
I don’t quite know why I’m up this early, but I’m not complaining…
Good morning! I am still in Florida. I awoke to the twittering of birds and revving of bro-dozers. Freedom is everywhere! And raccoons. Raccoons are everywhere too.
Thanks, PRC. First a virus, now this?

“Job failed due to no records for hour 2 on Sunday”.
Oopsie. Someone forgot to handle a known condition. C’est la vie.
As always, UTC is the best time zone.
UTC is useless if you don’t live near the prime meridian.

Heard the first robin shrieking last week. Poor thing, it’s still winter up here in the holler. How is he supposed to find worms and grubs when the ground is frozen?
Sunday shift was bloody awful. Maybe I should stop drinking so much. Naaah.
