Afternoon, Swiss! Here’s some local news that’s sure to sting certain folks:
https://twitter.com/LightfootForChi/status/1236017471066451971
Now I’m off to actually peruse what Swiss posted. 🙂
Her name sounds familiar, like it was associated with some scandal in the Obama Admin, but i can’t remember what.
Idk about that but apparently she’s been big on holding cops accountable. In Chicago I should think that feels a lot like pissing directly into a strong headwind.
Why would you peruse the links?
Endorsing Biden to “move us past a presidency that has sought to divide us based on what we look like, what we believe, or who we love”
Assumes facts not in evidence — who was that President who held the rainbow flag on stage again, appointed the first ever openly gay person to his cabinet, and has reached out to the black community on criminal justice reform and economic opportunity zones? But to those on the Left, they always just go back to the only arguments they can come up with, which is all Republicans are racist/sexist/anti-Muslim/homophobes. But, actually, the italicized part of the quote could instead practically be the Mission Statement of the Democratic Party.
I wonder if she really believes that shit or if it’s just what fires up the base.
Everyone she knows repeats it, so it must be true.

Some stupid bitch was going through express self-checkout today with about eight multi-packs of TP (so about 72 rolls total since I think they were all nine rolls to a pack). How long does it take to go through 72 rolls?
More infuriating was that she had a bunch of other stuff and was slow at ringing things up, so she was really holding up the self-checkout. Don’t people understand the meaning of the word “express”?
Did you make a comment along the lines of, “wow, you must have some filthy asses at home.”? And smiled gratuitously. That might’ve sped her up
I’m not the sort of person to create conflict like that.
So 8 items? What’s the item limit in Ted’S world for express lanes?
As for the question, depends whether norovirus is present in her house.
If their are the same product they only count as one item.
No, it was eight of these (not all the same brand since some of them had different shapes) and other stuff too.
The manned express lanes have a 14 item limit, so I’d place that as the limit for the self-checkout express.
Self-check abuse is one of my pet peeves.
I appreciate the stores that have two types of self checkout. One is the express kiosk, and the other is a traditional checkout line with conveyer.
The second type sounds like a non-starter for me. I love the self-check because of the single line serviced by 6-8 kiosks. Hugely reduces the chances of getting knackered by a single individual, but you still have to keep an eye on who’s ahead of you.
Yeah, I like it too since I usually shop after work and pick up a small number of items. We only have four kiosks, however.
It’s a nice way of segregating the express from the big orders. Only times I’ve ever used the conveyer ones were when there was no line.
I’ve learned to preview all the lines ahead of time. If I see warning signs like a little blue haired lady getting out her change purse, or some bubble head blabbing on their sell phone and just standing there with a cart full of groceries, I either find another line or go to full checkout.
I still remember 9/11. I left work and there was nowhere to get gas. Fortunately for me, I had a full tank and only had to drive a couple of miles. But I remember thinking ‘So if the world is ending, where exactly do you think you’re going with that tank of gas?’.
People are easier to panic than a herd of Wildebeest being pursued by a pride of lions. And just as likely to plunge headlong right off a cliff. I’m sure our media are very proud of themselves as usual.
During a trip to Costco last week the entire tp section was bare. Not a single piece of chicken, including their famous 5 buck rotisserie remained, and 80% of the rest of the meat was gone. Eggs as well were completely out. The tp is a bit mystifying to me. Are you really stocking up on 6 months of tp? If you can’t leave your house for that long, the tp is not on the top 100 of my concerns.
It’s absolutely baffling. I guess when you have absolutely no reasoning abilities, clinging to something, even tp, provides comfort.
Idiots.
It’s really not surprising. Around here if the Weather channel says there will be a quarter inch of snow, the shelves will be empty of bread and milk for a week.
And don’t forget the eggs! We call those panic buyers French Toast Zombies. (We also have an occasional ad hoc band by that name.)
Maaaaple….
My wife noticed the tp at Costco suddenly had a “limit 2” sign and thought it was bizarre. I figured it was coronavirus-related.
I would understand the run on tp if we were facing a norovirus pandemic, but I’m not following the logic for the coronavirus,
If you are quarantined/not going out, you don’t want to run out of TP?
I see what you’re saying, but one Costco-sized tp package should the last an average family a month, maybe more, unless if you’re going through multiple rolls a day. The quarantine is only 14 days.
For some unknown reason we could never figure out, my grandparents stockpiled tp and paper towels from the Price Club. They must have had at least 10 packages of each at all times.
For some unknown reason we could never figure out
I could see how one unfortunate “we’re all out” situation could lead one to irrationally stockpile such things. Never again!
Not quarantine. Lock down. What’s Hubei at? 2 months and more?
Why do you need 6 months worth of to when you have 1 month worth of food?
Barter.
You can eat paper! Wiping your ass with rice sucks
Seriously.
Even if you don’t leave your house, Amazon still delivers.
Costco is loving it. Their stock is up almost 10% on the month.
All those people buying a 6-month supply of TP aren’t going to be using any more than if they bought a 1-month supply 6 months in a row. All this does is cause a glut in TP supplies in a few months.
Sends note to Marketing – add ‘best by’ date to TP.
*Plants speculative health/science story with the media suggesting old TP can be a breeding ground for pathogens*
Even in the Soviet Union we always had toilet paper somehow. At home.
I went to Costco last weekend just for a few mundane items, and the fucking line went halfway back to the frozen food section. It was insane.
My wife went today and said it was like a war zone.
I’ll venture a guess that the people behind these panic buys haven’t considered more pressing issues with long term quarantine such as whether running water will still be available.
^^^ This. Do they have basic Food Storage to last 30 days? let alone 6 months?
:goes out and checks on 4×50 Gallon drums of water:
You know water goes bad unless you spike it with ethanol.
All water can be salvaged by heating it; soaking malt in it; boiling it; and adding yeast.
Yeah, that’s my point. What are the odds that most of the people who now have a 6 month supply of tp have even a 2 week supply of water?
If there’s no more running water, we’ve gone well past quarantine and pandemic and even plague and straight to end of the world. The water system is literally the easiest system to keep running, so it’s probably safe to rely on it still being there.
Flint enters the ring…
That just speaks to the incompetence of Flint.
Although I will add that easiest =/= cheapest, so any place that’s more interested in graft than maintenance will ruin their system.
I was just at my local Rite Aid and it was fully stocked with TP as usual, like the top shelf of an entire aisle stocked. So much I didn’t even bother buying any.
You are not panicking correctly.
Do better.
*counts blessing I don’t shop at Costco*
I haven’t seen anything out of the ordinary at any of my usual stores.
The only thing I’ve noticed is that all of the hand sanitizer is out of stock, everywhere.
Oh. I don’t buy that so I didn’t notice.
It’s even hard to find on Amazon. The few remaining brands there have tripled in price.
I’m fine on toilet paper. I’m going to go out this weekend and buy up all the cat litter.
Chilling effect
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is about to shake up how sexual assault and harassment charges are handled at every college campus and K-12 school.
This much is clear: If your child is a victim of sexual misconduct at school, or an accused offender, administrators must soon respond to their cases in major, untested ways. That could mean a courtroom-like hearing where lawyers would cross-examine youthful witnesses and challenge their credibility, a huge shift from traditional behind-the-scenes investigations of highly sensitive and damaging allegations.
The final Title IX rule, anticipated to arrive this month, will invite fury: DeVos has said every survivor must be taken seriously — but also that the accused can’t be presumed guilty. The Obama administration in 2011 laid out guidance pushing schools to resolve an epidemic of complaints of sexual assault and harassment. But DeVos scrapped the Obama-era policies, saying they were unfair to everyone involved, and she now wants to balance the scales of justice with clear, formal rules. “Our proposed rule recognizes that we can continue to combat sexual misconduct without abandoning due process,” she says.
Observers say they’re on edge, in the dark and anticipating multiple legal challenges as they await a final regulation that’s been years in the making and clashes head-on with the fervor of a global #MeToo movement. A draft of the proposed final rules governing sexual harassment and assault drew a staggering 124,000 public comments.
Brett Sokolow, an attorney and Title IX consultant, predicted “systemic failure” within a few years as both colleges and K-12 schools struggle to put in place the federal requirements.
“I think the system potentially collapses under the weight of the litigation that comes from this,” he said.
Oh, no. Without a presumption of guilt, how will Mopsie get Brett booted out of school for not spending enough on her on their prom date?
“I think the system potentially collapses under the weight of the litigation that comes from this,” he said.
Fingers crossed, they are.

Heaven forbid that a criminal matter be treated like a criminal matter.
And that’s not even the process that would be required. It should be, but it wouldn’t be.

I’m pretty comfortable putting this author in the category of “Evil”. You can’t write shit like this without having the most basic idea of what Obama’s policy was and how it was incredibly unjust. To advocate for it’s furtherance because “Sally Sue wilting flower” may have to endure questioning of her claims and she’s too fragile for that is obscene.
You mean the 150+ (and counting) court rulings against the current process?
Yeah, well, get it in writing because the next Dem president will undo all of it and add more punishment. Fun with executive overreach!
RE: Coronavirus TP problems.
I think we’ve all had to face this problem at some point in our lives. For me, it was peeling off stickers that had been plastered on the sides of the stall by miscreants. It was a rather sketchy dive bar that I normally wouldn’t even consider dropping a #2 in, however this was during my C. diff adventure and there was no option.
In the woods I have resorted to napkins, paper towels, and leaves.
And most of us have left hands as well.
Resorted to a White Castle bag a couple times.

Single use “silencers. How else are you going to get the stuff you really need?
And-
Colleges and schools would face stricter definitions of misconduct and new standards for launching investigations under the DeVos plan. Victims would have to navigate changed requirements to file complaints, and alleged perpetrators may have an opportunity to challenge their accusers, through lawyers or advisers.
Truly horrifying; the end of civilization.
Now can they please stop telling me which pronouns they prefer? I don’t care. If I need to talk to any of them, they’ll be known as “kid”.
If I need to talk to any of them, I’ll use second-person pronouns, not third-person. You don’t get to tell me how I talk about you to everybody else.

I think there’s going to be a splitting of cultures, whether that be peaceful or not.
No way that happens peacefully. There will be genocide within 50 years.
Not necessarily. This new progressivism could be the dawning of a new religion of sorts, irresistibly marching to dominance like those that came before. In which case the pendulum may not swing back for a thousand years.
Progressivim is a weak faith. It will not stand. The question is what supplants it. The left inviting Islam into its bosom has already spelled its doom. The question is whether Christianity is the new theocracy or Islam.

A takeover of the United Auto Workers union by the U.S. government to eliminate a “culture of corruption and greed” remains an option, according to federal officials.
U.S. Attorney Matthew Schneider said Thursday a civil racketeering case similar to one that led to a takeover and decades-long oversight of the Teamsters union is “one of the options” as federal prosecutors continue investigating corruption in the highest ranks of the UAW.
Aside from implications for the union, a case under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, could have political ramifications for the Trump administration. While the UAW has historically supported Democrats, President Donald Trump has touted the support of blue-collar workers in unions such as the UAW.
So- the Trump administration is making a good faith effort to end corruption in upper union management, and that is going to turn the rank and file against him? Sounds legit.
Couldn’t they just like disband the thing and divide the treasury among living members and pensioners?

What’s the over under that the Russians have dirt on Sanders still left over from his time in the Soviet Union?
If the Russians have any dirt on the two Democratic presidential candidates, then it’s on Biden. He was a U.S. Senator known for playing nice with the Soviets when Reagan was taking a tough line against the USSR.
also Ted Kennedy
oh, there’s gotta be stuff on them both. No way Bernie playing footsie with the Soviets and every other tinpot commie dictator in the last fifty years didn’t lead to him having a KGB file six inches thick. Whether there’s anything useful in there for oppo, I dunno, but that useful idiot was definitely measured for usefulness.
In 1979 Senator Biden visited Moscow. This is how one of the leaders of the Soviet Communist Party’s Central Committee’s International Department described the meeting.
I recall reading about it at least 10 years ago and nobody cared.
Sure, there should be a file on Sanders. But he was a small fish compared to Biden.

Moar stimulus; the answer is always moar stimulus
The Trump Administration and Congress should come together to pass an immediate $1 trillion conditional emergency stimulus to combat the coronavirus.
Why $1 trillion? Because it’s a number likely big enough to instill confidence in the public and in markets, showing government stands ready to put a floor under the economy. At 5% of a year’s GDP it’s several times greater than the worst possible losses estimated by the most pessimistic economists.
The money could be used to extend unemployment insurance benefits, provide a back-up to small business that could experience severe disruption from the virus and provide extra funds throughout the health care system, to pay for additional testing and hospital visits for the uninsured, overtime for health care workers and buttress overextended hospitals, especially in rural areas.
——-
Reasonable people can argue about the amount, about how to target it in a way that helps the neediest and has the most efficient economic effects. But I believe there’s a very good case to be made for a large government stimulus program that is at the ready for worst-case outcomes, that shifts the focus from monetary policy to fiscal policy and that takes advantage of historically low interest rates.
Just sprinkle
moneyfairy dust liberally on any problem, and watch it disappear!The problem, in this instance, being a stuttering economy.
Stimulus will definitely get people back on cruise ships and airplanes.
At 5% of a year’s GDP it’s several times greater than the worst possible losses estimated by the most pessimistic economists.
Yes, taking 5% out of the economy and then putting it back in will surely boost it. Great idea.

I liked cow’s tongue, too.
I’ll be honest. I’m a fan of offal in general. Although someone once explained to me that that probably means what I like is the taste of blood.
I see nothing wrong with this.
A hot pastrami and tongue sandwich on rye with mustard and a Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray soda is just about equivalent in pleasure to a blowjob.

When I lived in Eastern Europe, the only warehouse in the country that carried TP burned down. Thanks to protectionist tariffs and general bureaucratic inefficiency, they couldn’t import TP. If I hand’t been living next to a napkin factory, I would have been in deep doo doo.
Job question: I just saw a company I interned with post a job that I’m pretty close to qualifying for (a little light on years of experience, but it’s the same job I currently have). I really enjoyed the work I did at that company, and it’s on my shortlist of companies that I’d like to work for if/when I leave my current company (which I don’t like as much, but I don’t hate it).
The complicating factor is that my current job has kickass student loan repayment and parental leave that is top of class. I’d really like to use up those benefits before I leave.
Should I apply to thr job opening to show my interest, knowing that it’d take more than they’d likely offer to get me out of my current position, or would that possibly burn a bridge?
Don’t apply unless you’re serious. That said, make it clear what you would need to switch.
To be clear, I would take it without hesitation if they gave me the right number, but with my wife pissing on a stick each morning, the parental leave looms large.
If this job opening popped up 3 weeks from now, I’d have enough info to make a decision, but it sounds like I shouldn’t be too speculative without all info available.
I don’t know how it works in your industry, but having done a gazillion hirings in mine, that would burn a bridge. There’s a story I wish I could tell.
Hmm, somebody applied at your school but the only reason they did so was to leverage a pay increase where they were?
I worked with a guy who got let go for trying to do that. Fair enough.
Harder in academia if the person has tenure.
No, not quite. It was a staff position. All I’m going to say is how the campus President retaliated was some Games of Throne shit.
The Dean slept with his sister to retaliate against a staffer?
I don’t see an issue with telling them basically what you told us :
“I really liked working here. If really like to work here again. This is what it’s going to take.”
I don’t see that burning any bridges if you play it like that.
Does the application have a “desired salary” question? If you’re honest at the beginning that you would require a certain amount of money to leave your current employer, that’s not atypical for where I’ve worked.
If you don’t hate it and you’re attracted to the bennies, stay.
Unless your applying for a new job elsewhere gets back to your current employer, I don’t see how you could burn a bridge.
What they did there. It was noticed. By me.

Who orders a shot on the rocks?
Women who are on a date that isn’t going well and are feeling unsafe (or even just little weird) and would like the bar staff to call a ride for them?
If a woman in a bar announces she feels unsafe with her date, the date will have his ass kicked in seconds. Men hate rapists more than women do.
How DARE you assume xes gender(s)!
If they actually had a reason to call the police, couldn’t they do it themselves?
Slip out the back Jack.
The bar staff are just hoping to get laid.
Hmm, only in the “women’s” bathrooms. What should the rest of the genders do if we feel unsafe or pressured into sex on a date? Or what about being pressured into buying drinks?
Man up and stop acting like a pussy?
Pussies are actually remarkably resilient.

It’s remarkable that Trump will not have to worry about the old age issue for the second presidential campaign in a row. He will be the oldest US President inaugurated next January. But his Democratic opponents are either noticeably older then him (Biden or Sanders) or almost as old and in poor health (Clinton).

https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/guess-which-caliber-is-seeing-the-biggest-sales-jump-as-americans-stock-up-for-covid-19/
Huh. That’s a bit of a surprise.
“When it comes to actual sales, Ammo.com’s increase varied among calibers and brands. Calibers that saw the largest increase include:
40 cal (S&W) ammo: 410%
223 ammo: 194%
7.62×39 ammo: 114%
9mm ammo: 101%
12 gauge shotgun shells: 95%
5.56×45 ammo: 69%
380 ACP (Auto) ammo: 43%
45 Auto (ACP) ammo: 35%
308 Winchester ammo: 32%
22 Long Rifle (LR) ammo: 29%”
Don’t forget those are percentages.
One box to five boxes in a 400% increase.
Five million boxes to six million is a 20% increase.
It’s easy for .40 to go up more because no one uses it.
I use it, but I’m already pretty stocked up.
I use it.
Mostly I’m shitposting scare stories, because some people aren’t panicking properly.
*Side eyes Rhywun*
You have to admit it’s got nowhere near the market penetration of the .22lr.
I’ve actually heard people justify buying a .40 on the basis of “if there’s another ammo shortage, 9mm will be depleted before .40”
I bought a .40 because the local police department switched from .40 to 9mm and the prices on used .40’s dropped like a rock. I almost felt like I was stealing it.
I do miss it since the boating accident.
I buy .40 pistols cuz they’re great deals. Especially police turn ins…
I was gifted my 40. I don’t love it, but the price was right.
I have three .40s. Love ’em all. But I have plenty of ammo. (<100 rounds, for the NSA)
I got a .40 because I was persuaded by the ballistics. That said, I enjoy my .45’s and 9’s so so much more. Maybe it’s just the fact that I have more easily paired my pistols to carbines in those calibers or the fact that I have better balanced and tuned weapons in those calibers, or the fact that I can refresh my ammo depot more easily when the SHTF, but it is what it is.
I realize there’s a prepper/gun owner overlap but buying ammo because of this virus doesn’t make much sense.

CDNN sports had some HK style BUIS for cheap, so I tried buying them. They won’t ship “AR parts” to NY.
Now that’s messed up. Though, in their defense, NYS is fucking crazy. Aren’t they still trying to sue the NRA?
…that doesn’t sound familiar to me. I know Cuomo had the NRA’s concealed carry insurance made illegal, but I don’t know if there was any legal challenge to that. Probably not knowing the NRA.
Only another seven months until SCOTUS rules on NYSRPA v. NYC.
I don’t want to hear the realistic answer that it’ll be so narrowly taylored a ruling as to be useless. I still want to delude myself that they’ll throw out the whole licensing requirement and all carry restrictions as being blatant violations of the constitution.
Wes says: “your poop smells bad.”
Wes is my friends son that I’m watching, he asked what I was reading and told me to post that.
Wes thinks his poop don’t stink?
Wes replied, “Your anus”
He tells his mother everything, so I’m probably getting in trouble for letting him read some of the comments on this web site.

You tell him I said this:

Hell yes! Red flag the Moobz. I love it!
More important question: when the judge inevitably dismisses this as “meritless” and “obviously a joke”, can it be used as legal precedent to fight other unconstitutional, bullshit red flag orders?
Of course not? You think the judicial system is about logic or justice?
I sincerely hope that is part of the goal.

Pretty much a normal Friday. TP section was depleted, but still plenty left.
A really disturbing shortage of hot Indian women, though. I hope this is not a trend.

But still, where are my lovely Indian women?!?

Appropos of the cover photo, and since I have access to raw milk from local Amish dairies, I’m thinking of learning cheese-making as a retirement hobby. Particularly since I can’t buy reblochon, I want to learn how to make it (or at least a halfway decent facsimile).

Question for you Smart people, could you use a Clorox Disinfecting wipe as an emergency water filter?
taste is irrelevant,
No.
Adding on here. Disinfecting wipes aren’t chlorine bleach, they’re usually quat sanitizer.
I wouldn’t think so. But you can disinfect water with 8 drops of bleach per gallon. (not scented or color safe or any of that other shit, just bleach)
It kinda tastes like pool water, in case you were wondering.
Mmm . . . pool water, now with extra urine!
But enough about your semen, what does the water taste like?
Semen.
Iodine tablets are reliable *and* they make the water taste funky.
Boil it.
I hear all this talk about Coronavirus panic, but I see no sign of it around here. No empty shelves, no overcrowded stores, none of that.
The only thing I’ve experienced is that a client told me to just work at home for a couple of days because I was sneezing. That was Monday morning. Seriously.
I was like ‘Are you fucking kidding me?’.
Client: Do you have a cold?
Me: Yeah.
Client: Just go work form home. Did you see the memo!?
Me: No.
Me: OK. I can work from home everyday, I don’t have a problem with that.
I went home and my wife was like ‘What happened?’. I told her and we both laughed.
My workplace has put stickers on all the door handles that are supposed to self-sterilize. I can’t believe that I couldn’t talk the SEM EDX guy into finding out if they were actually anything other than stickers.
In my office they put up new signs on the bathroom doors reminding people to wash their hands.
That’ll stop Wuhan.
Not that the disgusting bastards who skip that step will pay attention to the signs.
You should demand that all the office keyboards be autoclaved.
Why do you hate NN Taleb?
Hopefully “working from home” becomes the new normal when a lot of businesses realize it works for most of their staff.

I had no problem getting a seat on the train this morning. Never happens on Saturdays at this time. The streets are half empty. Corona is a trick the devil is playing so we don’t notice the rapture already happened.

Retard fight! Seriously, as sad as this is, if the dem establishment lets the two of them on a debate stage, the angry commie is going to mop the floor with old senile Joe. He’s about to the point where he’ll just stare at the camera and drool.
My reaction to scrolling through that dumpster wreck.
But enough about Bloomberg, he already dropped out!
Also, the Democrats really are a hive mind. It’s unreal how quickly their constituents are told that they will vote for the chosen Biden and they obeyed right on cue.
Should the Bernie Bros hate them? Yes, also they are retards for supporting a commie. If they want to actually get their revolution, they’ll have to get Bernie to run as independent or form their own Socialist party. If they have the courage to do that, I’ll respect them more, even though they’ll still be idiots.
It occurs to me that St. Greta is being inexcusably selfish. She can see carbon dioxide after all, and coronaviruses are much easier to see than that. She really should be leading teams of disinfectors around outbreak hotspots.

Noted and that was news to me. Regardless, people who are confident in their ideas don’t hire teenagers to be their spokesmen.
There are many good reasons why younger people are taken less seriously.
It seems like all children these days are being told by their parents that they are special and they’re going to be stars. Most of them are going to be seriously disappointed. The difference with Gretel is that she’s going be many times more disappointed when she realizes that she’s just a homely teen with no super talents like she was led to believe by her apparently well connected parents.
It’s child abuse in my opinion. But at least her woke glory seeking parents haven’t made her undergo a sex change operation, yet.

Y’know, I’m trying *really* hard to muster up some sympathy for a group of people that, by-and-large, support every other plank of the platform they voted for except for this. If, in general, they’re too stupid to engage in basic consequential thinking like that, they shouldn’t be voting.
People vote for all of this woke legislation and then change their mind when it gets implemented and affects them. It wasn’t supposed to affect them, it was only for the bad people!
A lot of the people effected by it didn’t vote for it even if many did. I even hear rumors that there are a few libertarians and conservatives left in Cali but that might not be true. The journalists though, I can’t muster much sympathy for them.
Nobody directly voted for it at all. Enough people, of whom I am not one, voted for the charming Lorena Gonzalez.
