Central bankers rejoice at the protests in El Salvador over Bitcoin adoption. President Bukele pissed and moaned about none of the tech giants adopting the “Chivo” digital wallet. Then when they made the app available, El Salvador had to unplug the app to connect more servers. Later Bukele YOLO on more BTC to bring El Salvador to a total of 700.

How do you determine a “fair” price for bitcoin? I have no idea what moves the bitcoin market.

Tucker Carlson interviewing Curtis Yarvin
I really enjoyed this interview. I really enjoy reading Curtis Yarvin. He’s such a dork. But he’s a dork with a healthy outlook on our current political situation. One that keeps me feeling sane.
It was solid. I watched it twice, and I don’t like long form YouTube. A comprehensive and compelling overview of Moldbug’s corner of NRx, and from the man himself.
“Brazilian authorities working to contain the arrival of these weapons at the two main harbors serving Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo are gravely under-resourced. And meanwhile, instead of helping curb the country’s influx of dangerous weapons, the U.S. has focused most of its efforts on pressuring Brazil to fight its illegal drug trade, forcing Brazilian authorities to relocate their meager resources to the war on drugs and leaving an open alley for gun-runners to infiltrate Brazil’s main commercial ports. “The U.S. government is worried about its domestic drug addiction issues, so it has put pressure on my country’s government to focus mostly on the drug trade instead of illegal weapons business,” an officer from the Secretaria Estadual de Policia Civil, Brazil’s civil police, explained.”

I never bought that; it seemed to go against all the stereotypes.
My oldest brother is an actual doctor-doctor; very smart guy. But I wouldn’t trust him to: build anything, make a smart financial decision, buy a sports car, work on an engine, etc etc etc
PhDs and Drs have one thing in common, they have always been told that they are really, really smart. And this leads to thinking that they know everything because they are really, really smart.
About the only thing that saved my dad was swinging a hammer in the eastern Washington winter between getting the Ph.D. and getting the tenure track professorship.
Sure, that’s true for a lot of PhDs and MDs. But it’s also true for a lot of schoolteachers, politicians, engineers, or whatever. There are plenty of people who think they know everything in all walks of life. It’s not peculiar to one or two professions.
If you want to know who is actually really, really smart, it’s the guy who has figured out that no matter how smart he might be or how much he might know, he’s capable of being stupid and as full of shit as the next guy.
I tell patients “I don’t know” a lot. It’s the truth. Many times I have no clue what is causing the vague pain they’ve had for the last few weeks, the rash on their arms, or whatever. I just don’t know enough to be right all the time, nor do I have the confidence that one day I will. I’m a hell of a lot less confident in my ability to fix your problem than the average voter is in their politician to fix the country’s troubles, I can tell you that.
They’ll give a PhD to anyone these days.
My dad got his Ph.D not long ago and the only thing it did was increase his tendency to ask aggravating questions and throw wrenches into the decision-making process. You’ll have to excuse me if I don’t give a shit what a bunch of credentialists think, even if we might agree.

A highly anticipated announcement Monday from the companies Pfizer and BioNTech revealed that their lower-dose Covid-19 vaccine was found to be safe and generated a “robust” antibody response in children ages 5 to 11, based on data from a Phase 2/3 trial.
Many parents now are waiting for the time when their young children can sign up to receive a Covid-19 vaccine. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told MSNBC on Monday there’s a “reasonably good chance” the shot will be available by the end of October.
“I think there’s a really good chance it will be before Halloween,” he said.
It’s the government hiding vaccines in your child’s candy.
OFFS. Maybe 1 in a 100 of them – teacher’s pets and the like – are clamoring to get pricked. The rest will be dragged kicking and screaming.
Heh – when I was a little tyke, I would kick the nurses in the shins every time I had to get a shot.
Or the time my mom tried to spank me… I curled up my first with the middle knuckle out just as her hand went out. Bruised her wrist.
something something True Libertarian ™
fist (not first)
Brochetta sock-puppet confirmed.
If you vaccinate your kids with this shit, you are fucking clinically insane.
The basis of Pfizer’s own study doesn’t even begin to justify it. They’re measuring antibody response and not protection against illness.
The injury rate rate from the vaccine is guaranteed to exceed the COVID injuries by an order of magnitude, and God only knows what long-term effects there will be.
If you vaccinate your kids with this shit, you are fucking clinically insane.
^^^. I recently read a parent on another site bragging about “doing their part” by getting his 2 year old enrolled in one of the trials. Glibs is an oasis of sanity.
This country is done. The divisions are too deep.
^^^^
I don’t understand why more people aren’t taking the idea of a national divorce seriously. What possible outcome could be better than that? Wouldn’t they be overjoyed to be rid of the hoi polloi?
How do you make it happen, though, with no neat geographic divide? I like the idea of turning major cities into independent city-states, myself, but you never see much advocacy of that.
How do you make it happen?
Walls around NYC, LA and select other locations.
There are never perfectly neat geographic divides. Even in the case of the secession that led to the US Civil War things were not as neatly divided as often imagined (see the county level results for the 1860 presidential election for an illustration of this).
Abusive partners are often reluctant to let their victims leave.
Without the hoi polloi to abuse and feel superior to, Our Master’s lives will have no meaning.
There will be no peaceful divorce. There will be no devolution of power from DC to the states. This ends in blood or a totalitarian police state that would make the Stasi blush.
Sorry to go all black pill on you, but that’s how I see it. Today, at least.
I’m actually 100% with RC Dean on this one, despite it sounding like I’m hopeful. In millions of cases, you have examples of political division, within a single household. New scale it up to streets, then cities. Now metro areas. Finally, to states. There’s no feasible way whatsoever to make it work. But I can dream….
Civil war 1.0 was also brother vs brother. The revolutionary war only had <5% of the colonists fight. Civil war 1.0 had a higher percentage fight but it want over 50%.
Civil war 2.0 will have bloodletting and mass migration of the democrats when they surrender. Their only hope is to flee to communist china, cuba, or north korea.
There is just no way for American patriots to tolerate commie democrats trying to destroy america from the inside out and use government to enslave america. Democrats just refuse to play by constitutional rules. There is no middle ground anymore.
But Abe said no.
“But the bell rang!”
Take one industry you know very well and then try to divide it cleanly, knowing everything you know about human nature. I also think a national divorce is the least-offensive action, but it would still be an unmitigated disaster.
With the way the economy is being run into the ground at the moment, an unmitigated disaster is inevitable. We’re not going to get to just live as comfortably as we have been. It’s all been built on debt and false promises and there’s no way we’re being steered out of it by an increasingly power mad but hopelessly incompetent technocracy. Hopefully enough people can realize it early enough to see that a national divorce and whatever mess comes of it, is probably the least messy option.

The interruptions to the supply chains are vastly underestimated and take a while to manifest in the markets. And it’s destabilizing the credit markets.
They also take a long time to correct.
Surely they aren’t so dumb as to not notice the hoi polloi are largely responsible for the food they eat?
Narrator: They Are.
Actually, they believe all that BS about solar and roof-top gardens, veganism and bicycles. They really, really do.
They are utiopists. They really think that all that is holding the world back from being a paradise is that people don’t believe hard enough. That and overpopulation.
Just like the democrats formed the Confederate states of america to separate from the USA, they then shot at US troops at fort Sumter.
Democrats cant and wont separate from the USA and leave for commie china. Unfortunately, civil war 2.0 has to be resolved. The bloodletting will come.
Lefties overplayed their hand and thought America would embrace communism. They were wrong and are now trying to burn America to the ground in a desperate “if we democrats cant have america then nobody can” plan.
Civil war 1.0 also didnt have the shooting start immediately. Both civil wars really got going with a national election though.
I took the J&J shot when work mandated it. I felt dirty doing it, but I need my job.
This? Fuck no. No one’s conducting a science experiment on my children.
99.95% of COVID deaths are people 18 and older. 80.5% of COVID deaths are people 65 and older. It is prima fascia absurd to be putting so much effort into vaccinating kids and masking kids and focusing on vaccinating young adults. If the CDC was following the science, they’d be putting out targeted advice to retirement homes and other places with large numbers of elderly folks giving them different (more stringent) advice than they issued to daycares. What did they actually do? Offered the same toolkit (masks, vaccines, social distancing, testing, contact tracing, etc.) and included a disclaimer of “it’s really important you do this for at-risk populations”.
honk, honk.
Enough older people DGAF that it wasn’t as effective for controlling people to focus on them. They briefly tried scaremongering about younger “healthy” people but that wore thin quickly when they all turned out to be like 500 pounds with rare genetic disorders or some shit. So now they’ve moved on to kids. The stories I hear from coworkers and friends make it clear that it is 100% theater. But like the TSA, the theater has a purpose (and a massive budget).
Maybe science follow them.
That would make us look like the Nordic countries we loved before 2020 but said we’re icky after 2020.
“So now I understand why Sweden is to be pilloried in the press for ‘not going with the consensus’, as opposed to being watched, to see if we can learn something from the Swedish experience. Modern science is ‘the consensus’ — and whether it is true or not doesn’t seem to matter anymore.”
That is from the comments on this article https://unherd.com/thepost/elites-have-lost-faith-in-enlightenment-rationality/?mc_cid=c95408da8d
It’s just fear-mongering coupled with ignorance. As Scruffy put it above, ain’t nothing dumber than a Dr outside their field.
A highly anticipated announcement Monday from the companies Pfizer and BioNTech revealed that their lower-dose Covid-19 vaccine was found to be safe and generated a “robust” antibody response in children ages 5 to 11, based on data from a Phase 2/3 trial.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but haven’t the COVID vaccine manufacturers been given legal immunity for any issues that may arise from the vaccines? If this is correct, then what cause has anyone to trust such a statement? It’s easy to make claims when you know you won’t be held accountable for them.
It’s really safe for them – less so for you and your children.

My son has apparently taken it upon himself to play Doom (2016) by hitting everything with the butt of the shotgun.

I finally played Doom Eternal last week, and I’m disappointed. I don’t think I get the gameplay loop. It felt constrained and unfun compared to 2016.
Incredibly annoying video, but good recipe for ramen.
3 Dollar Homemade Ramen | But Cheaper
Too much ginger for my taste. I’ve now made it twice and cut the ginger by 2/3rds otherwise you won’t taste anything else. Chili oil should be required. You don’t need much, but the kick really helps. Same with the dashi.
There are five basic elements to ramen: noodles, tare, broth, topping, and aroma oil
Essentially if you don’t use the dashi and chili oil you omit the tare and aroma oil.
The real problem is the soy-face expression.

Twins, Basil, twins.
Guinness World Records has certified two Japanese sisters as the world’s oldest living identical twins at 107, in an announcement Monday coinciding with Respect for the Aged Day, a national holiday in Japan.
Umeno Sumiyama and Koume Kodama were born the third and fourth of 11 siblings on Shodoshima island in western Japan on Nov. 5, 1913.
They were separated after elementary school, when Kodama was sent to work as a maid in Oita on Japan’s southern main island of Kyushu. She later married there, while Sumiyama remained on the island where they grew up and had her own family.
The sisters later recalled their difficult younger days. Growing up, they said they were bullied because of prejudice against children of multiple births in Japan.
Busy with their own lives for decades, the sisters rarely met until they turned 70, when they started making pilgrimages together to some of the 88 Shikoku temples and enjoyed being reconnected.
That’s a weird one.

Hundreds of birds migrating through New York City this week died after crashing into the city’s glass towers, a mass casualty event spotlighted by a New York City Audubon volunteer’s tweets showing the World Trade Center littered with bird carcasses.
This week’s avian death toll was particularly high, but bird strikes on Manhattan skyscrapers are a persistent problem that NYC Audubon has documented for years, said Kaitlyn Parkins, the group’s associate director of conservation and science.
Stormy weather Monday night into Tuesday contributed to the deaths, she said.
“We had a big storm and sort of weird weather and lots of birds, and that’s sort of the perfect combination that can lead to bird-window collisions,” Parkins said.
“It seems that the storm might have brought the birds in lower than they would have otherwise have been, or just disoriented them,” Parkins added. “The effects of nocturnal light on birds is also quite strong, especially when it’s a cloudy night.”
Hell, we used to have a bird or two do a kamikaze run into our sliding glass doors. My wife started putting seasonal decals on the doors for exactly that reason.
Why I am afraid to clean, or have cleaned, my windows.

Has there been any discussion of how the Haitians are getting to Mexico?
From what I’ve read, these are people who have been in South America for a while, not recent arrivals. Now, why a bunch of Haitians who have been living in Peru, Honduras, etc are suddenly making a run for the Rio Grande en masse…..I don’t know the answer to that one.
I heard that many had jobs in South American countries, but the recent economy killed many of the jobs. Also supposedly they heard that Joe Biden was letting people into America.
How would they get that idea?
It’s a mystery.
Better call the Scooby Doo gang because I bet it involves an old man in a mask.

One night when I lived there my buddy wanted to buy blow there to impress the chick he was trying to bang. So I drove everyone to the favela. When we got to the house I got freaked out as there were military police everywhere. At least three cars with their lights blazing. I thought the place was getting busted. No, no said the Italian guy directing us, they are the security. So, under the watchful eye of the heavily armed police a cocaine drive through was happening. Maybe, just maybe, the dealers would somehow, someway be able to buy some guns even if the US banned them all tomorrow. What high school level intellect writes this bullshit?

(Nut @ et you OR thim.)
“could face prison for up to six months or a fine of up to $4,000.”
Seriously. It’s time to awaken the ghost of Patrick Henry.
Dog’s surgery went well. They were able to save the tooth (yay) and when they were doing the second biopsy on her foot, they were able to remove most of the thing – not quite a cyst. So, that’s good and she doesn’t need a toe amputated. The look she gave me when I left her at the vet, though, is haunting me. Abandoned and betrayed. I hope she forgives me.
Doggo will forget as soon as he sees you, Good Master, taking care of your loved ones!
She, sorry
I hope she forgives me.
They always do. That’s what’s so amazing about dogs.
I’m glad the surgery went well.
She will still love you. I promise.
One of these might not hurt, though! 😉
Get the Peanut Butter flavour!
GET THE PEANUT BUTTER FLAVOUR!!!
PEANUT.
BUTTER.
/ceases channeling my pup
Were or are these for sale in Canada? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vnit_xL1hE
Yep, they were, Back In The Day.
I have no idea if they still are; we feed our pup ridonkulously expensive treats which she (thankfully) loves.
Aw.
Dogs is spensive.
My dog’s middle initial is “C”.
My vet asked me what the “C” stands for.
I said “Costly.”
Yes they are. I have pet insurance, but still.
Dogs are dear, cats are a bit cheaper.
At least you get a solid return on your money, right?
This year, yep. The cat has no health problems.
I suspect Tundra meant something like this: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f8/64/3f/f8643fff731014419d0d65f28a4712ac.jpg
ISTR Snoopy looking surprised in that first 60s or 70s iteration…
Ah, Katzenscheisserbuchse.
Yes, exactly.
I’m sure some steak will go a long way on her forgiving you.
It’s good the surgery went well.
Missed this post last week – my buddy sky diving into the Gourmeltz parking lot during their 9/11 remembrance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRSQCndrUeo
God. Damn.
How does that dude even walk, with balls that size?
(When’s the next Gourmeltz meetup?)
I should be good any weekend in Oct.
Yeah, he jumped in 2019 too – vid on his page. I’ve missed both of them because Matt can’t plan anything properly ;p
The jump was awesome.
I’m passing through Virginia in October to go to and from the Tom Woods 200th show party.
I need to work out some details, but it looks like I’ll be passing through Virginia mid-week.
I have a friend from college in northern Virginia. Meeting him will take priority over meeting Glibs, but, I think once I settle on a few more details we can all work something out.
I would love to stop in at Gourmeltz. I’d stop in even if I’m by myself.
A couple of us are close enough we could possibly make a mid-week meetup.
I’m on evening duty in Oct, so can’t make it, but it’s a great place to stop by any time.
Not this weekend. I’m going to the state fair.
No no no no no.
No.
(Cool, though)

I came home a lil cranky from work, to find these cool shot glasses in my mailbox.
Made my day. Thanks CPRM!
Makes me want to start drinking. Nice
Those are awesome.
I smell bullshit.
Nurses from across Virginia delivered a desperate plea to the public on Tuesday as some warn the state is on the verge of a “patient care disaster.”
During a virtual press conference, the Virginia Nurses Association said worsening staff shortages are putting health systems at risk of collapse.
Meanwhile, the state is reporting its highest COVID-19 hospitalization rate since mid-February, according to data analysts. A recent report also noted that the more than 2,000 patients currently hospitalized with coronavirus statewide represent a nearly 10-fold increase from the number recorded in mid-July.
“The vaccine isn’t working so you have to get the vaccine.”
Various VNA members described feelings of frustration and fatigue on Tuesday. They detailed moments of devastation as they comforted family members and held patient’s hands overnight so “they wouldn’t die alone.”
“On Monday, I had a 40 -something year old man, a big man, hold my hand and squeeze it so hard that it hurt and tell me how afraid he was.” said Aliese Harrison, an RN focused on critical care at Johnston Memorial Hospital.
Fascinating.
Maybe give him some Ivermectin?
The hospital won’t do it because the NIH hasn’t approved it and by staying within NIH recommendations they’re immune from liability.
It doesn’t matter if he dies or not.
Yeah, we’re getting the same “Our health care system is only moments away from TOTAL COLLAPSE!” crap here in Alberta.
If it’s really true, people will not draw the correct conclusion, which is that our single-payer system is an expensive piece of shit that can’t even handle 300 COVID ICU patients in a province of 4.4 million people. Our Chief Medical Officer of Health should be hanging her head in shame, and our Minister of Health should resign in ignominy.
And everyone of them had 18 months to prepare for such a surge.
Who knew that would be a consequence of mandatory vaccinations for healthcare workers??? I mean, that’s so shocking.
Typical hysterical bullshit.
Apparently the airlines no longer let you travel with a pet unless it fits under the seat in front of you. 🙁
Now I’ve either got to board her or spend four days of each trip to see my aged parents with her in the car.
?
More details. Maybe we can help.
I try to see my parents once or twice a year. Now I have a pup. I was just going to bring her with me figuring that a few hours of being stuck in a kennel, while sucky was better than leaving her behind. There are some great boarders here, but they ain’t cheap. $80/night seems to be the puppy rate.
My dogs love the puppy resort. Board her, fly and enjoy yourself.
That’s over $100 CDN/night!
Holy moly.
On another note, we always used to factor the cost of boarding into the total cost of a trip. Just part of the bill.
Yes, just part of the cost of a trip. The dog walker takes my dog home with her when I travel and she gets so spoiled. Her grandchildren all want to come play with her and fight over who gets to have her sleep on their bed. I’m always amazed she comes home.
^Yep. We rarely as a family travel with an overnight but hire a trusted house sitter when we do. Just part of the cost.
I pay ~$100/day for someone to drink our beer, watch tv, eat pizza, and let the dogs in/out (plus water the livestock). It’s a good gig for a retired uncle or college kid. Much cheaper than boarding for 3 GSDs and easier being away knowing the house is being watched. Plus the dogs can’t be boarded anyway because we give them their vaccines instead of a vet.
I paid a neighbor’s kid to watch the cats when we were gone for a month. He also mowed the lawn. We’ve cared for pets when neighbors were away.
My neighbors usually take care of the cat (neighbor is only person other than me that the cat likes) if it’s just a day or two. Longer time I pay someone. I take care of their cat on occasion or bring in mail etc. Best way. I bring back a gift as well.
That restriction was always the case in Canada.
Our dog would juuuuuust fit under the seat, but we wouldn’t do that to her. We board her with friends who love her. Or at least, we did back in The Before Times, when we were allowed to travel and I wasn’t being discriminated against as a filthy unvaxxed in a system of legalized segregation.
C’mon, SMOD!
They used to transport them kenneled in a climate-controlled baggage area. And for the small ones, as long as they were cute, they didn’t care if they were on your lap.
And for the small ones, as long as they were cute, they didn’t care if they were on your lap.
I’m glad that part got nixed. Not that I’ll be flying anytime soon, but I had a bad experience on a flight next to a girl with a Yorkie devil in her lap.
I would guess not, but maybe the restriction is only for baggage handling, and they might let you gate check a crate, like the strollers?
sorry, all I can think of.
Ship her Fed-ex.
“When your package absolutely, positively has to get there before your dog dies of terror, thirst, hunger or oxygen deprivation.”
They supposedly don’t ship beer either but that never stopped a Glib before. What FedEx doesn’t know won’t hurt them. immobilize Lily (plaster of paris will work just stick straws up her nose first) and make sure to pay for the overnight delivery.
Please, don’t ever get a pet. Please.
How soon, NA?
FedEx does, however, ship reptiles and spiders. Very effectively, too.
I would drive anyway. Fuck flying in this day and age.
Yep, a lot more fun, Bella and I would stop and explore, Doggos love a new scent!
Yes. One a car trip shortly after I got my dog, the first toll booth gave her a treat. At every toll booth she would stick her head out the window and beg.

Interesting that the ultramontainist Ahmari is has the anti-clockdown stance while David French is a lockdowner .
Mmmm… Poutine and Pie.
Good dinner.

Gee I wonder theblockdiwns have made air travel so difficult?
