LAST TIME…WHAT PART OF “GO FORTH AND KILL” DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?
ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. ZARDOZ IN NOT PLEASED. THE COVID CLEANSINGS HAVE ALL BUT ENDED. AND WHAT DOES THE COLLECTION OF FOOLS, COMMONLY CALLED ZARDOZ’S STAFF, COME UP WITH? KILLER RACCOONS. DOES ZARDOZ HAVE TO CLEANSE HIS ENTIRE ORGANIZATION?
ZARDOZ WILL LOOK TO THE REST OF THE WORLD TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY COMFORT:
- NOT HERE. WHAT HAPPENED TO TANKS RUNNING OVER BRUTALS?! DO BETTER, CCP.
- INVESTIGATE?! ZARDOZ HAZ A SAD. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO “THIS MEANS WAR!”
- AS IF AMMUNITION FOR THE GIFT OF THE GUN WAS NOT ALREADY SCARCE!
ZARDOZ GUESSES NOT.
ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
A series of explosions have rocked a military munitions factory in central Serbia, forcing the evacuation of nearby residents.
Shit. It’s military ammunition, but I can see a ripple effect.
Damn, if they supply the Prvi Partisan stuff my surprisingly reliable gun store local ammo connection is going to dry up.
Putting this up here because can’t at the end. Sidebar has the bottom section of comments seriously borked on mobile.
Police blocked off a Hong Kong park to prevent people gathering to commemorate the anniversary of China’s 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown on Friday and arrested the planned vigil’s organiser.
Urgh.
Jossie Chavez, who is stationed at Fort Carson, captured video of the scene that unfolded when a raccoon invaded an armored vehicle known as a Bradley Fighting Vehicle.
Terrorists are getting creative.
a raccoon in a human armored vehicle is a lot less fun than a raccoon in a raccoon-sized one, I’m disappointed.
So one of these things then? Also, no wonder they were crushed in North Africa:

Pretty sure they did dolphins back in WW2.
Chad has blamed the CAR army for the attack, and says five of the soldiers were abducted then executed in the incident on Sunday, which it labelled a “war crime” that would “not go unpunished”.
Was Agent ‘Sloper involved?
Do you mean Dick Slashballs?
“Chad and CAR”
Man, the money I’d give for a nice Toyota LandCruiser pickup with a Soviet era SAW mounted on the roof. I mean, we have Netflix and constitutional rights and all but there’s definitely something to be said for living in Equatorial Africa.
Nods knowingly while thinking about the PKM parts kit in my basement.
Now drinking.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO “THIS MEANS WAR!”
Toyota Hi-Lux shortage.
You can’t kill them, as Top Gear found out.
Truck of choice for gardeners here in L.A. most have 300-400k miles and are dented all the way around.
De veras.

I had a mid-eighties Land Crusher wagon for a while. I wanted to paint it white and put U N logos on it, but I never got around to it.
Lol. That would be epic.
Those things are worth a ridiculous amount of money now, especially if you live in horse country. The early 50s equestrian ladies just love them for some reason.
Buddy has a early 70’s LC. Awesome in the way Jeeps used to be.
My truck’s up around 12-15k. It’s a 1962 Chevy C10 shortbed fleetside with a big back window. It don’t much matter to me, because if I sold it, I’d have to pay that for another.
Ugh. Don’t say that. I sold my 63 GMC short fleetside in 2008 for $2800.
Cool sidebar, bro.

No kidding. I can’t believe what those first gen Land Cruiser wagons can fetch.
The thing was a tin can. The door clanked like a jail cell when you closed it. But it was RUGGED.

Let the cleansing begin at the laundromat. I am unpleased with undesirable future grain slaves using the occasion of my rare appearance at said establishment to engage in a sordid familial squabbling. Nine am is too early for that shit.
Nine AM? Y’all squabbling from Stockholm or something?

The predicted (by me, anyway) “second wave” of resignations following the May 20 resignations has begun at work.
The head of Talent Acquisitions, a great guy, military veteran with a passion for helping other veterans get jobs and transition to post-military life, hung it up today.
He used to take me to veteran outreach events because I always could get the guys enthusiastic about technology and working in the defense sector.
I can’t blame him for leaving. He, like me, was hired to come make changes and be bold and hire, hire, hire!
But he got nothing but roadblocks from the dinosaurs.
We exchanged personal contact into. He loves my protonmail email name 🙂
I missed the original story? What precipitated the first resignations?
I thought they were layoffs of engineers and techs, but no sales or other useless types.
Yeah, I meant to type May 20 layoffs.
Sorry—my bad.
So your company can sell a bunch of promises it can no longer follow through on?
Pretty much, yeah.
Eventually they will destroy the reputation of the company.
It’s frustrating on a professional level and heartbreaking on personal level.
Let’s see,
freeze hiring
incentivize early retirement
eradicate all overtime
have the feds give you more money than you’d have made otherwise
bitch about things not getting done.
That’s some seriously well thought out response, right there. Put more of these kinds of people in charge.

Fekkin Hell.
That Maserati I drove was a ragged-out hunk of shit. So disappointed.
But you know what wasn’t disappointing? The 650i x-drive with the M-Sport package. It was the opposite of disappointing.
The Bimmer doesn’t have it’s own song.
Repair wise, if you can afford a new BMW you can’t afford an old BMW.
The last Bimmer was relatively trouble-free. Figured I’d double down.
Besides, it’s honestly probably the cheapest car to work on that I own. Which would terrify me if I had any sense.
I can totally appreciate enthusiasm for 445 HP, but the internet says you’re wrong. This Bimmer is claimed to be less than reliable. I had a coworker who had a 335i. His turbos both went out and the only game in town was the dealer. 7k to fix it.
Ah, you can’t believe the internet. Full of Q-anon and FB trolls.
You’re right. I’m on it, so there it is.
American Airlines failed to deliver Jugsy. Evidently she’s trapped in NYC.

What is so difficult about fixing a 67 Ford?
Anyway, could you please turn off the side bar?
It was a busted ass hunk of shit that I’m having restored for my dad.
Turning sidebar off.
Thank you, sir! Gentleman and a scholar.
Thanks for the sidebar 🙂
I’m not so good with body work. Well, I’m fine with the hammering, filling, and sanding, but I don’t have the experience needed to paint well.
The mechanical shit on that car is easy.
Lessee. The Camaro had a tragic hydrolocking incident, which required me to pull the motor, Replace one piston/rod/rings/bearings assembly and reinstall it. Then, it killed the power steering pump. That’s about it in 120k miles.
The Saab-rolet killed it’s motor at 97k
The little Saturn sky needed a water pump and brakes, so far and it’s at 116k. Of course I also gave it a tune and some upgrades. I drive it 55 miles everyday.
The ’62 killed it’s motor while I still had my shop, so I paid an asshole to put in a bigger/better motor. He fucked it up and killed that motor too. I now have a newer motor in it. But it’s ( the truck) older than me and I’m old.
A Saturn Sky?
Man, those still look fresh. The Pontiac Solstice too. I’ve got no idea why GM abandoned them so quickly.
That’s not snark either. They’re both great looking roadsters.
It’s a cool car. With the tune, it has about 300 HP, weighs about 2900lbs and rides like a go kart. I just got it to save money on gas, but I’m pretty impressed by it. It needs the seats modified. They sag a bit, but it’s a fun car and it gets around 24 mpg with me driving. The TBSS got about 9.
Good Lord.
Imma stop whining about my VWs, and Ford. And my (not so) distant Volvo memories.
Oddly enough, my Triumph is far and away the cheapest of my cars to maintain.
I’m vaguely eyeing a Macan S as the next ride once the Honda shuffles off this mortal coil. Although at current rates of driving that’ll be another 8 years…
Mine has the Cobb Stage 1 setup and AWE Tuning exhaust, so it’s running about 470HP on 93 octane gas. It had a Bilstein PSS10 suspension system installed before I got it, and it’s sitting on 21″ wheels.
It’s an absolute rocket ship and I can’t drive it often enough.
Having said that, my drive home today in the Bimmer gave me the same tingles when I accelerated hard. It just kept going faster and faster. I mean, I’m sure at some point it stops making you feel like you’re on the first downhill on a roller coaster, but I let off the gas before I reached that point every time I gunned it. It goes from 60 to 90 in a couple of heartbeats.
*drools*
She’s pretty aggressive looking.
It looks really good on those 21s.
It really does. It’s as pretty as it is fun to drive. Especially when the exhaust lets out a sonic boom on shifts. It’s like driving a cartoon.
Banjos shook her head when I brought it home. Now she’s in love with the sound.
“AWE tuning”
They’re local to me. Todd installed an X chipped ecu on my S4 at an Audi meet up at the mall some 20 odd years ago.
Bam Margera was there.

Save AOC’s Abuela’s Home
On June 2nd, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reported to Twitter that her dear abuela has fallen ill and continues to live in squalid conditions since her home was ravaged by Hurricane María.
One cannot be certain of the cost to repair grandma’s house, but surely most of the work could be completed for the price of AOC’s shiny Tesla Model 3.
As AOC pointed out to us, we “don’t even have a concept for the role that [incredibly successful children of two American citizens…] play in their families,” but clearly caring for their own grandparent isn’t part of it.
Says the congresswoman, “…instead of only caring for [my own grandmother] & letting others suffer, I’m calling attention to the systemic injustices…”
No, seriously. She really said that.
Sadly, virtue-signaling isn’t going to fix abuela’s roof. So we are.
Heh. I’m afraid that Matt is trying to shame the shameless…
He is but that’s some good trolling.
AOC strikes me as the kind of person who develops Leftist views on wealth, then becomes wealthy but fails to realize that they have done so. I have a relative who is currently in that conundrum.
All hail ZARDOZ! It’s been quite a week. I’m ready to cleanse a good number of brutal.
Chad would like to speak to CAR’s manager.
I’ve mostly found myself with nothing to say this week.
Fuck this subthread.
Addendum: This isn’t a condemnation in regards to the commentariat, I just mean I’ve been particularly dimwitted this week and have had nothing to contribute.
So when I say “Fuck this subthread”, keep in mind that this isn’t a fishing attempt for attention. I just had a random brain fart, posted for whatever silly damn reason, and now feel I like an asshole for posting anything in the first place…

Well, somebody certainly sounds like a violent, racist psychopath.
Yup. One day she will act on her impulses and be amazed when she is knocked on her ass.
Innate behavioral traits can evolve in just 500 years? That’s a pretty groundbreaking discovery. I’m surprised the good doctor didn’t include the treasure trove of evidence that there must be for such a claim.
Evidence is white tricknology.

“America’s most Innsmouth-ian politician”
almost.
And do check out the final paragraph.
Rather routine until the last paragraph. That is a winner.
I was referring to just the “America’s most Innsmouth-ian politician” crack as well as the final paragraph. The middle isn’t nearly as biting.
Well, I liked the whole thing. ?
I had to look up the reference in the last sentence. That’s fantastic.
Almost as in ‘not’.

Thanks for the puma video last weekend. I cried a little.
I’m reliving my distant youth of 40 years ago.
Watching “The Last Unicorn” animated flick that I saw when I was 7 years old.
Not the best animation ever (Disney animation quality was still in deep decline before Don Bluth gave them a good run for the money with “Secret if NIMH” but I digress) , but fun and nostalgic . Alan Arkin, Mia Farrow, Jeff Bridges, Angela Lansbury, Tammy Grimes, Christopher Lee. Music by America, of all things!
Those of you with young kids might enjoy. Free steaming on Amazon.
I have no idea why this is a reply and not a new comment .
Technology is hard…
“I would tell you, mum, but I be what I be, and I be a cat, and no cat ever gave a straight answer.”
Wow. I don’t think I’ve seen since about that age too.
1982, baby!
I watched the credits this time. All Japanese animation, which shows. I liked the differences from the usual fairy tale formula: the heroine in her natural state has some flaws such as pride and lack of empathy; she begins to lose her memory ; the prince has to be the one to push the reluctant heroine into fighting,
And no environmental or woke preaching!

CPI has completely lost the plot and is trying to figure out how to make graft more efficient. Neither they nor anyone else, including the taxpayers funding this abortion, will look at that top number and immediately realize correctly that it’s a complete fraud.
This is where the “stolen election” tinfoil hat crowd loses me.
If the left needs to bring in low skill Hispanic immigrants to win the demographic vote advantage, then why would they also need to stuff the ballot box with false votes?
Who is benefiting financially from hauling in large numbers of unskilled immigrants?
Chamber of Commerce.
Less than 30% of Americans identify as leftists…last I heard. If they didn’t cheat they wouldn’t win.
A guy who campaigned on seizing guns, seizing your income, stamping on our civil rights…he won this election fair and square.
And I am a flying reindeer.
I apologize if that came across as harsh, I did not mean for it to.
I am thinking back to 2016 when Clinton was sneering and telling voters ‘You suck’ and then was surprised when she lost. This time we have that gibbering moron Biden doing the same only worse and he won? The guy is so crooked that when he finally dies we won’t have to dig a grave, we can just screw him into the ground.
You might say I am a tad bit skeptical over the election.
Because that particular skillset has been honed over generations. LBJ anyone?

Good morning, U. I think there may be some sort of rule to the effect that you MUST forget something. Better to forget to take something than to leave it behind when you return.
I’m typically very good about not leaving things behind on the road. I do sweeps of my hotel rooms before checkout to be certain I got everything I brought with me.
It’s making sure I packed what I expect I’ll want to have before I leave the house where I have issues.
Back up gun ✅
Phone charger ✅
Emergency vodka ✅
*sigh*
I miss vodka. Unfortunately, my gastrointestinal tract can no longer handle liquor of any sort without causing me stomach issues, hemorrhoid flare ups and the squirts. Haven’t drank anything stronger than 8% ABV since New Year’s Eve.
? That sucks.
Hawt.
Once when I was a kid and my family was on our way to DC, we accidentally left behind all our clothes on hangers at a motel en route. I’ve been wary about hanging clothes in hotel closets ever since. And I, too, do the thorough room check before checking out, almost to the point of obsession.
I do not unpack my luggage until I’m home.
I bring a ‘clean’ suitcase and a ‘dirty’ suitcase. ‘dirty’ starts empty but worn clothes go in it after use. It keeps everything separated.
I love these things: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B014VBI3HK
Travel organizers.
I never lose a car key, yet I always give a spare to my gf as a backup when we go away.
Paranoid or prepared?
I had a valet lose my key before. My spare meant I was still able to drive away and the hotel eventually found it behind the valet desk and mailed it back to me. I’ve never used valet parking since.
Spare keys are not paranoid, even if you don’t plan on letting anyone else handle the car.
Yes.
You’ll remember when it’s too late to turn back.
