There’s been a bit of kerfuffle in the LP in the last week or so. Apparently, Tom Woods was accused of grooming his wife. This was really just a smear but given his history of being as milquetoast a child predator can possibly be, it warranted a response. So I’ll let Dave speak for himself.
TL/DR: the LP is full of petty assholes.
¡Here’s a few enlaces!
A gunman kills a family of 8 in a town north of Mexico City. Which is welcome news since oral arguments to sue US gun manufacturers is scheduled for this week.
Gov. Abbott implements measures to search in response to Team Brandon lifting Title 42 over the weekend. Truckers crossing the border forced to slow down considerably as a result, leading to Mexican truckers to block the crossing going south.
“We oppose any state-level action that results in an inspection process that duplicates the inspections already performed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection,” Britton Mullen said in her statement.
So does that mean the Feds are still searching the trucks? Can anybody do anything without stepping on their own dicks?
El Presidente Dude Bro spitting HOT FIRE.
What a fucking nightmare, never give up your guns.
I never thought I’d read a story about an Argentine that fled to Israel, but here we are.
Here’s a good tune. Have a great Tuesday!
“Apparently, Tom Woods was accused of grooming his wife.”
That doesn’t even make sense.
Combed and braided her hair?
Also, where’s the link to what Dave Smith said?
I think it’s the image on the right.
Obligatory
She was 19 when they got married. He knew her family when she was a teenager and he was in his twenties.
Totally the same as teaching kindergartners about what weirdo adults like to do with their junk and encouraging self-mutilation through hormones and surgery.
This is the Loser Brigade of the LP lashing out because they’re about to get their asses handed to them in Reno.
He knew her family when she was a teenager and he was in his twenties.
According to Reddit, that’s basically rape. Of course, Reddit…
One of my bucket list items is to bang a girl who’s younger than one of my children. Ideally when I’m in my 80s…
I have noticed a generation gap in the divide. Younger folks are going straight to grooming.
They want to be in relationships with people they can emotionally identify with.
Probably some truth to this…
It’s not enough to not have sex with children. You must not have sex with anyone who ever has been a child.
So, masturbation is a crime?
Father O’Malley was right all along!
When it’s done right…

I’d never thought to interpret this that way. It is fair to point out that Zeppelin and many other bands of this time were serial pedophiles. Almost Famous acknowledges this and then brushes it aside. It’s not just famous musicians either. Rich pedophile worship is a corner stone of boomer culture.
“”The border is porous,” he said. “People – it could even be old women and men – walk or drive across the border on a daily basis and can amass a stockpile that would rival any Texas gun show. It’s easy to get a gun or rifle in Mexico.””
Wouldn’t that be the fault of the Mexican government?
“Mexico is home to exactly one gun shop, a fortress-like structure in a Mexico City military complex that requires buyers to provide mountains of paperwork and submit to exhaustive background checks that can take months.
Extremely restrictive gun laws require guns to be registered with the federal government and limits their type and calibre”
How is that working out for you?
“But north of the border, getting a gun is far easier. Mexican officials believe that a large portion of southern-bound weapons are bought legally by ‘straw buyers’, who then unlawfully pass them to criminals.”
Which is already illegal.
One place is almost impossible to get a gun legally, the other is incredibly easy (by modern standards in the rest of the world. One is a peaceful and prosperous first world example to the rest of the world, one is a third world perpetual warzone. Guess which ones are which and then tell me about the effectiveness of gun control.
Because we’re funneling guns to them real fast and furious?
“And the vast quantity of firearms already in Mexico may mean that little can be done to stem the violence, said Alejandro Hope, a former Mexican intelligence official.
“There are already maybe 15 million small arms in private hands in Mexico,” he said. “Even if tomorrow we completely stopped the flow of arms, there’s already enough guns around to maintain a high level of violence.”
“I’m very sceptical that this can be controlled on the supply side,” Mr Hope said. “I doubt there would be any short-term impact.”
But, at least, he said, “it shows the cost that weapons trafficking has on Mexico”.”
No, it shows the cost that drug prohibition has on Mexico. You don’t see Modelo and Dos Equis shooting each other.
It should be easy. It is in the Mexican constitution.
Zwak, a funny, funny man. Give him a big hand, folks. He’s here all week. Try your server, tip the veal.
Heh
Article 10
The inhabitants of the United Mexican States have the right to keep arms at home,
for their protection and legitimate defense, with the exception of those prohibited
by the Federal Law and those reserved for the exclusive use of the Army, Navy, Air
Force and National Guard. Federal Law will state the cases, conditions, requirements
and places where inhabitants can be authorized to carry weapons.
“Right.”

My neighbor has gone hunting in Mexico and says they get pulled over by the Federales all the time and searched. It ain’t Abuelita dealing weapons from the US. Maybe they ought to see what weapons the Mexican Army is selling to the cartels first.
Sergio Uribarri was sentenced to eight years in prison for acts committed while he was governor of Entre Ríos province from 2007 to 2015, though he can remain free pending a series of possible appeals.
Uribarri, who apparently still was in Israel, said on Twitter that the verdict “is a clear example of arbitrariness, injustice and abuse of the state of law.”
Remaining free, being in Israel, I suspect he will never see in the inside of a Argentinian jail.

I know! Expand WIC to everyone!
They have already started providing free school lunches to all children to erase the stigma for poor kids at the register.
It went further and we ignored it, but they gave out debit cards to my teens, without our knowledge, cause of school year 2020 ‘covid’ lockdowns and the inability to get free lunches.
I wonder if part of the reason is that no one is buying the whole grain 600 calorie meals. That’s a lot of contracts and greased palms that would suddenly be empty and unnecessary if no kids took any meals.
I remember my high school cafeteria offered pizza and fries or nachos and fries as meal options every day. It wasn’t the best… but how good do nachos or pizza and fries have to be for teenagers. Regular price was only 95 cents, although at least half my school got free meals.
I had a bran muffin with peanut butter chips and a cup of black coffee from the high school cafeteria most days.
NYC schools give free breakfasts and lunches to all students so as to eliminate the stigmatism. The Board of Ed. also provides free bagged breakfasts and lunches all summer long to any student who shows up to a schoolhouse and asks. As far as wasteful ends to which tax dollars are put, this is pretty far down the list for me. YMMV.
Already there.

“You can’t have a cannon.!”
In doing some genealogy research I found this advertisement for the ship that carried one of my ancestors from Europe in 1742.
“The Ship Francis and Elizabeth, 350 Tons, mounted with Eight Guns.”
This seems to have been viewed as a point in the ship’s favor.

Netflix is responsible for a Swedish film being released in cinemas in the UK?
Not seeing the issue. All adults? All willing? Cool lets see what their sex-lives are like.
Also it’s fiction.
Does Netflix own part of some Porn sites and want to promote some premium packages?
I have no idea, and if so what does that have to do with this movie that Netflix didn’t produce and isn’t streaming.
I read the article several times and I’m still not clear what point they are trying to make. I’ll go back to getting humiliated at the UNO table by my card-sharp son.
Nothing. It has nothing to do with Netflix. RIF.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10711913/Family-bakery-nearly-destroyed-Oberlin-Colleges-lies-boycotted-students.html
I dunno about “ruin” – the bakery is due a $33MM payout from the school.
I’m not sure if that was set aside pending the latest appeal.
So they very well may still be struggling.
AFAIK, the school just lost an appeal but are refusing to pay while they “consider their options” – those being, the state supreme court & then the supremes themselves.
Probably trying to get the bakery to settle for a pittance so as to not drag it out any longer.
I’d love to see what in NJ would be the County Sheriff walking into the bursar’s office during business hours and empty out any cash from tills and safes.
After that they just stay and keep collecting cash from the business.
In many non-woke counties in Penna. the sheriff would come on campus, slap confiscation stickers on $33 million worth of real estate and then hold a sheriff’s sale.
At first glance, “Indiana university” looked like “Indiana University”. But it’s Anderson University.

BILD: Zelensky refuses to welcome the German President because the latter used to favor economic cooperation with Russia, was friendly with the Russian foreign minister and until recently favored Nord Stream 2.
I have no idea why the actor in Kiev feels that he can behave like this wrt important friendly countries.
WTF is the President of Germany? Time to head to Wiki
Ahh, useless bureaucrat.
This guy used to be a German foreign minister from SPD. Also, when it took a long time to form a ruling coalition in Germany in 2017-18, he was engaged in diplomacy by visiting foreign countries and meeting the likes of Putin.
You know which other German president was a useless bureaucrat while the chancellor was running things?
At the time there were tremendous rumblings in Prussia.
Although that may have had something to do with the sausages.
Probably the spooks whispering in the ear of president t shirt.

I was a little busy today trying to understand all the contradictions in our HOA’s Bylaws and Restrictive Covenant, and how they related to various sections of Alberta’s Societies Act and its associated Regulations. We’re experiencing the joy of a Board member who believes it’s his duty to force people to only do what he wants them to do, ignoring the obvious intent of our Bylaws as well as the intentions of the Act. Took me 6 hours of reading and writing a missive to the Prez of the HOA.
I have no idea how it’ll go. Fucking up Quordle would’ve been far preferable.

We got approval to cut down a cherry tree in our front yard from the HOA manager a year ago, but it didn’t get done until last week. I wonder if his bitch ass called them squalling about it.

Thoughts…both legal and ethical question. Obvious contractor isn’t coming back. Left 3 shovels, a tamper, angle grinder and cooler.
Gonna move them into the garage for now but just take ownership? Either they blocked my number or ignoring it….
Ethical: Did you pay in full up front? They didn’t finish so I’d say you’re due some compensation
Legal: There must be a time limit of some kind where after the items become “abandoned”, I’d think?
If he’s licensed, be wary of a mechanic’s lien. Including for remainder of the work. I’ve heard these can be difficult to fight, even with the evidence on your side.
Not too worried about that. I paid for labor done it was the last of what we asked to complete and they probably just abandoned the rest. Bench, firepit and debris
How long has it been? and what makes it obvious that he’s not coming back? It isn’t good business, and one should return calls promptly, but the reality is that shit happens and sometimes people get put off for a few days. I never do it, but lotsa people do and in this market where just getting someone to show up its much more common than it once was.
No show for 4 days and no calls back. We aren’t stealing the shit but cleaning up and securing their tools so to speak. He swings by he can have them
Sounds about right, don’t be surprised if he doesn’t show up in a few days with an excuse (lame, or sob story, or completely believable) and finishes the job. It’s odd to me too, but it seems to be the new normal. I’ll call a sub for a quote or to look at a job and they’ll take two/three weeks to get back, if I call to see what’s going on they act like I’m putting them out. Problem is it’s hard to even get someone to look at the job these day, so you take what you can. Which is why I’m moving more and more into jobs that I can do entirely by myself or I don’t even bother with them.
Take pictures before moving them, after moving them, and then tell him you’re cleaning up your yard and you expect him to pick up his property within X days after which it will be considered abandoned and you’ll dispose of it. X is probably 15 days or whatever might be appropriate in your state.

Totally irrelevant, but a great story (that I’ve probably told before – sorry):
I met Louie at MSP as my daughter and I were getting on a plane to fly to a gymnastics tournament. He was standing behind us in line and I turned around and said “Hi Louie!”
He, of course, smiled and asked our names. When he heard my little girl was off to compete he asked her if she was nervous. She shyly said yes. He then proceeded to share with her that no matter how many times he got up in front of an audience or went on TV, he was always nervous. But then he told her that the nervousness meant that you cared enough to always give your very best. That it was fuel for excellence. The jetway was slow and we chatted the whole time while waiting to board.
I’ll never forget the way he talked to her and how unbelievably kind and generous he was. Not every celebrity is a douchebag.
Similar experience, also on a jetway but waiting for bags. He took pictures with people and chatted with them, even invited the flight crew backstage at the venue he was performing at. Super nice guy and had a one of those supermarket reusuable bags as one of his carryons.
Awesome. The poor guy had all sorts of issues, but spent his life making people happy.

If I need too I will make one, but I would prefer one finished in oxide of some sort.
McMaster doesn’t have it?!?
McMaster-Carr
McMaster’s or Fastenal usually have any bolt you need.
Maybe Grainger or TSC as a second option?
Try boltdepot.com
I use them for some metric machine screws. There’s also metricscrew.us
So, McMaster doesn’t have one long enough, every metric specialist I found on the internet doesn’t list it, Brownell’s doesn’t seem to carry small metric screws.
Looks like I am going to have to pull out some taps and drill rod.
In that case, you might try: https://military-fasteners.com/
R/C cars and planes use odd ball stuff, I own a .9mm allen wrench because of it.
try Hobby King.com
If you’re looking for some exotic screw, I think you need to try Craigslist.
*snigger*
Try https://mcfadaz.com/
So, checking Euro sources, and this thread is not even common there. And of course I don’t have a die, because no one does. So, it looks like I need to set my lathe up for metric.
Son of a bitch.
Maybe it’s a difference between pipe and machine thread?
M0.9 is teeny tiny. M0.9×10 has to be highly unusual. What’s this for?
Lol.
Someone finally asks the best question.
How’s the Spit, MS?
Ugly. And wonderful. Now that I’ve refreshed the mechanical bits, it’s almost time to starting thinking about her paint.
Cool!
I’ve gotten a few texts from the dude I sold mine to. He has been having a blast with it.
I can’t remember if I shared, but he is also in the middle of a restoration. He and his wife wanted one to drive until his is ready. She was actually the one who found my ad.
I love car people.
So now he has two? Awesome! They guy I bought mine from had three. And I helped him pick up another after I bought mine. Car people, and airplane people, have their priorities right.
A friend gave me a Spitfire supercharger he’s had sitting in his shed for 20 years. I’m going to build up a spare engine, rebuild the supercharger, and install it in the car. Should bring it up from 60 horses to a whopping 75!

Well, those were some, umm, interesting Champions’ League games this afternoon.
I’ll care after the Liverpool match tomorrow that I am not able to watch.
Isn’t it on CBS broadcast (Channel 2 in NYC)? I did a search in the b0x guide yesterday for the CL matches, and that was the surprising result I got.
Huh. My source has CBS buried on a second page. The main page mentions a bunch of channels I’ve never heard of.
LOL. How did you get the Nigerian version of the site?
A work meeting? It’s on CBS.
Yeah, there is also work.
I guess I can pop over to the living room once in a while.
HIPSTER JUICE!!!… errr, wait, that was me swilling the hipster juice, never mind…
You’re drinking hipster juice?!?11?!?!?

You know what really keeps me up at night? Worrying about tobacco and whores, I mean I just really cannot sleep because of this.
Folk still around? I don’t want to pollute the Desk Pt 2. post with thoughts there. That is rude and immoral. I have some updates that are clear to talk about.
