I had flashbacks to when I got into political arguments on DerpBook.
I refused to engage on that platform for that reason.
I left that platform for that reason. IOW the people’s lack of reason, honesty, etc*.
*Told the story before here but in the midst of a debate with a former HS associate he had the audacity to say (after literally only “debating” in leftist platitudes and talking points while committing every logical fallacy in the book to the extent I told him I was going to start naming them as they appeared…) “If you are not going to come closer to me then why are we having this conversation?” Response: It’s a debate, motherfucker. We disagree. And you are a moron that can’t defend his stated positions. Have a nice day.
After that I quit fb. Account is still technically active, but I haven’t been on it in years.
I never joined, my granddaughters wanted to add me to their list of friends. I am not their friend, I really didn’t are about the size of the QBs ‘shoes’
I watched this two days ago.
*haughty sniff*
Same. *Adjusts glasses*
WTF, you guys have some special viewing privileges? Who is charge here? I want to register a complaint.
Thanks CPRM, but some dudes are looking over your shoulder
CPRM didn’t give you the secret password?
Awkward…
Dork
I can neither confirm nor deny that allegation.
Can confirm…oh, not me…you meant Mike S. …never mind.
Getting all literary and tryna figure the allegorical significance of the 80s space age background on The Hair

I even watched it at .25 speed to see if there was a frame during the transitions where the background was unobstructed. Negative.
Yo, CPRM – check your porch tomorrow. 😉
Hawt
Very.
*ahem
BY CHECK PORCH MEAN…
STEVE SMITH JOIN GIG ECONOMY. MAKE DELIVERY. BY MAKE DELIVERY, MEAN…
So, back porch then.
Ass Wednesday indeed.
Pooch checking time? Euphemisms, really obscure
Killer,
Thanks!
Inflation is a killer.
You can say that again.
Cost of assisted living for the parental unit has gone up. Again.
Bless Brandons heart.
If you don’t mind me asking, where are they at? Eve was in memory care with full services at The Cottages, and it was $5700 a month as of July.
@#$% my Mom is in skilled nursing/hospice for $11k/month!
Going in any major grocery chain around here is like the apocalypse has already happened. I mean at prime time, like on a Saturday afternoon. It’s not like empty shelves. There is plenty of stuff on the shelves, but there are no people to buy any of it. It’s freaking weird, like my wife and I seem like we are the only people in the store. Where is everyone? They have to be eating something. My wife asked me where is everyone and I said ‘I don’t know at the discount places?’. So she says ‘Where are the discount places?’. And I say ‘I don’t know, it used to be here’. What even in the hell is up with this? It’s been this way for more than a month now.
Moving out here was effectively a raise due to the lower cost of living, but we are feeling the pinch now, cutting back on some services, etc. Less dining out.
It’s ridiculous. The price of refilling our AC with Freon was simply shocking.
Anybody who was barely making ends meet before must really be struggling now.
I hope people are able to observe that this is the result of Biden policies and the relentless green agenda.
Refilling? Your system is crap if it leaks, and it does.
⬅. Episode.
The hair is boring. Time to bring back Space Hat. And like where is Bandon’s hat?
Lost trying to get out of a hat box?
I’m shopping for 6/2 wire. Menards has a 75′ roll of NM-B (indoor) for $217 (after rebate). Lowe’s has UF-B (outdoor) for $2.18/ft, so 75′ is $163. Am I being punked? Why would outdoor rated wire be so much cheaper? Just because it’s off a bulk spool? Am I missing something here?
“I’m shopping for 6/2 wire.”
No one else besides you even knows what that is, or have even been to a Menards. Nerd!
Go drink another Zima, Nancy.
No alcohol in 119 days as of today. Thanks for the offer, a beer sounds better though.
Atta boy!
Reminds me of that film, Waterworld, when on dry land he says “It’s too strange here. It doesn’t move right.”
But beer isn’t made with zecret ingredientz.
BS…everyone knows “You save big money, you save big money, when you shop Menard’s!”
I don’t think so. Probably difference between bulk and relatively small run, and higher demand for romex. /speculation
I found that as well, outdoor wire is cheaper, send counter intuitive, but I think it is lacking insulation, must not meet code?
One site of unknown provenance that I stumbled into said that UH has better/stronger insulation than NM (UH is rated to be buried without conduit) and therefore NEC approved for indoor wiring. The article kept saying things along the lines of “If you really want to pay extra for UH and use it inside, go for it, but you’re wasting money.”
It’s also more of a pain to strip. Extra time if you’re doing production.
And according to a couple DIY-type forums I’ve been on, the sheathing is (understandably) harder to cut/strip. I’m seeing other recent, confused posts about why it’s cheaper. Like Gustave speculates, they are also guessing less demand. One other downside of UH is it is apparently harder to pull through conduit. Not an issue for me.
No, it meets code. NEC 340.10 allows it be used as NM cable.
well that is good, because I definitely used it on one of my projects… I didn’t realize until I cut it open how annoying it was to strip, etc.
The saddest dang story I ever heard in my life.
Ass Wednesday.

Not bad.
I don’t know why I did it. I went to TOS. No. I’m really done now.
Thank you, CPRM for your fine work here!
I was just there. They’re getting all geared up and starting to crank out articles about the new bad orange man, even worse than Hitler, so they have an excuse to vote for democrats again.
I just wanted to see what kind of articles the commies have pinned to the rotting corpse of TOS recently. Not a single redeemable article on the home page. Might as well go read Jacobin.
What a shame. Reason was a part of my philosophical/political enlightenment while I was in college. Back then it seemed . . . reasonable. Oh well.
Me too. I discovered it when I lived in California. I had a friend who had a subscription. I read it whenever I visited his house. Such a loss.
I think it was 2007 first time I posted there.
I had a subscription for maybe 10 years but I weaned myself off quickly when the Glibs started.
I had one too for a while, and I still have one of their beanies. My wife found it somewhere a while back, I had forgot I even had that thing.
I have a nice collection of T-shirts and books from them. The magazine kept coming for a couple years after I stopped giving them money. 🤷🏻♂️
I was internet only, entered college in 2009. So never subscribed to the magazine. But commented there under a different handle for the most part, probably with many of you. Fun conversations at the time.
Huh, I haven’t read them all but at least half of them seem ‘redeemable’ – the one about the guy that got arrested for mocking cops, the jones act one, the student loan piece, the Biden lying about guns by Tucille, Halloween fentanyl. Maybe the devil is in the details but I wouldn’t say there’s nothing of value there.
I don’t go to the site much but I still subscribe to the mag. That tends to be mostly redeemable (occasional “huh?” pieces).
Yes, just looked and there’s some good stuff there.
I’m not diving into Hit ‘n’ Run or whatever they’re calling it now.
I agree, they are still OK on some things, especially the mag. But they do seem to be in the FMB (Florida Man Bad) camp. Of course, DeSantis is far from perfect.
“Of course, DeSantis is far from perfect.”
But that is a weird thing to be preoccupied with. Maybe wait until he actually runs for president.
Of course, he is on the opposite side of their three favorite issues, weed, ass sex(well, trannies), and mexicans. As if there aren’t bigger issues in America right now…
I rarely read the website, but their videos are mostly on point, good stuff on student loan debt, etc.
Which one of you is this?
That one is the real Tulpa. So, all of us.

Sorry for the OT, CPRM. Some fodder for your tin foil chapeau construction, however.
The new Italian Prime Minister who everyone is losing their minds over in synchronicity? Maybe that’s not a coincidence.
Maybe it has something to do with what Malone just published on his substack.
It’s an English translation of an Italian article by a professor of philosophy at Trieste University, Dr. Renato Cristin. Here’s a spicy snippet:
So she questions the medical tyranny complex. Obviously she must be destroyed.
Probably my favorite Youtube video since the CNN election coverage on the day after Hillary lost the election, is when Rand Paul had Fauci shitting his britches over conflict of interest on vaccines. I think I have replayed that video now even more times than the Hillary election loss coverage. There is absolute no doubt about how scared Fauci was, there is no faking that.
I wish her luck. Italy is just slightly ahead of America in being run by an entrenched administrative state. Unless she has the power to fire people at will she will drown in a tar pit, as all other politicians who wish to investigate the corruption.
No MSM here are reporting anything about it – just that she’s a fascist – but it’s been a central message of her campaign.
I’m fascinated by what it could mean if she has the wasta to do it. More from this professor’s letter –
5 years in asbestos litigation…I knew “epidemiology” was corrupted since the early 1990s.
Dow Corning waves hello.
I was sort of anticipating finding out more about her when I found out that she has bought fully into the US media’s Ukraine narrative. Just what they need, a female version of Lindsey Graham.
Yeah, on my issue, she’s great. That she’s shit on Ukraine isn’t great, but if I’m ordering my priorities, her getting a commission to investigate what happened with Covid and vaccine mandates will help some of my present and future cases, and to my mind, anyway, is the bigger “civil liberty” issue than the money laundering in Ukraine (though the potential for that to turn into something larger has now become a very real thing with NS1 and NS2, IMO).
“money laundering in Ukraine (though the potential for that to turn into something larger”
Yeah, like when Brandon blunders his way into nuclear war.
Russia’s doctrine on the matter has been pretty clear. That said, never underestimate the ability of Bumbling Brandon to fuck things up.
Yeah, on my issue, she’s great. That she’s shit on Ukraine isn’t great
Take the good with the bad and order the importance of the issues accordingly. That’s how I approach(ed) Trump, after all.
Hey, whatever else can be said about Trump, imagine what the Supreme court would have looked like under Her Hillariness, First of Her Name, Vanquisher of the Deplorables, Ruler of the Clinton Foundation-Federation. And imagine how far down the road we’d already be without 4 years of the Uniparty having to fight der Trumpenfuhrer.
People here can find a million reasons to piss on him (many of them justifiable) because he’s no libertarian by any stretch – he was a Clinton “blue-dog” NY democrat for most of his life. But whenever I think of how bad he is, I also remind myself (a) who he beat, and (b) and what SCOTUS and the federal judiciary would have looked like instead.
Having denied Hillary the Presidency is a virtue all by itself.
Garland would be on the bench and would have found the secret language in the Constitution that allows Hillary to jail Americans indefinitely? Granted, it seems we found that even without Garland…
True. I think with Shillary we would have seen no shit federal mandates enforced for vaccinations.
I’m starting to warm up to her.

A new fallacy, the No Doubt Fallacy
“People say there have been hurricanes for millennia. well that is true but sometimes we get ones that are so much more damaging and so much more intense.”
We have. And there are more people and structures near the coasts than ever before (therefor subject to damage…). And the last few hurricane seasons have been below average in number and strength. Storms are a fact of life that we have to deal with.
But really I’d have to write an entire dissertation to address everything they present in just a few sentences.
…and every property is worth 5-10x more than during a lot of the historic storms.
It is almost like if there are 10x more people and properties valued at 10x their previous worth that damages might rise.
OBE, how’s your toothache?
Okay for now, still gotta schedule the work. Its a wisdom tooth so gonna get them all yanked.
Story is cool and their work is cool, but Red State hypes up “the Strongest Storm I’ve Ever Been In” remark…dude has been on the team for 6 years.
They literally fly through cat. 5’s…a status which this storm did not reach…
Wife has Handmaiden Tale on. Kill me now.

Well, yes.

Best Son-in-law just showed up with his carpenter buddy to cut the stringers and hard bits for our new deck and stairs. I doubled the carpenter’s rate for working in the dark but how I can adequately thank son-in-law remains to be seen. “Shut up, you’re family!” doesn’t quite cut it. Ideas?
I don’t know, what does he like?
For tomorrow: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=breathing+lower+blood+pressure&t=h_&iax=images&ia=images#
Beer, cigars, flowers for his wife, sincere thank you.
Tell him he can have sex with your daughter.
A solid reward, usually…
Dangnammit – missed another few great discussions.
Ok…for Sugarfree and others – you can definitely do a tight storyline featuring all female astronauts – if you’re Frank “Monkeyboy” Cho. (admittedly, it’s more graphic than narrative, but it covers all my bases).
Looks hot.
Also, How old is Seveneves? That was an interesting story… though not as ‘feminist’ as the dogmatics might like, since it is actually interesting with complex characters, and some of the women are even bad.
Interesting.

As the kid’s say – “it’s a banger”. By Charles CW Cooke of course.
Lots of good links in the actual article too.
https://imgflip.com/i/6v2z9o
Oddly enough, Charles Cooke has a free newsletter.
I’m wondering how a “federal bureau of investigation” can be anything other than what the FBI actually is.
It could, in theory, actually be a neutral aid to local law enforcement that doesn’t conduct its own bank robberies, entice people to commit crimes, or engage in political persecution.
Gee, I wonder why

And nothing will happen.
The most infuriating part, to me, is his outside gig as an editor while working for the government.
It’s all infuriating. The base pay, the outside gigs, the honorarium, the royalties. Shit that wouldn’t fly in a private company.
I have little doubt that once he’s gone, the stories will start creeping out about mismanagement under his tenure, or he’s a predator or thin skinned control freak or whatever. And everyone knew about it but were too scared to come forward.

This should be interesting. Teacher in a neighboring town attempts to teach history with predictable consequences.
https://www.nj.com/education/2022/09/nj-teacher-suspended-for-lessons-on-hitler-swastikas-sues-school-district.html
““The subject class included instruction on the rise of Adolph Hitler and Nazism, and a lesson on totalitarian governments in general, including how such movements gain power,” states the suit, filed Sept. 21 in Superior Court of Bergen County.”
So what’s the problem?
“The suit states district administrators began seeing Welsh in an unfavorable light in 2021 when he tried to establish a Christian club for students and again that fall when he expressed his displeasure with state-enacted curriculum requirements, including sex education and LGBTQ issues.”
Ah, now I get it.

Good morning, Sean, U, ‘patzie, and RoaT!

Good Morning Sean
Good morning, ‘bodru! How’s the sheepies?
Ugh, i was dreading this….
Last week i lost two. one was I thought “old age”, but the other was a 8 month lamb.
Sunday i had another that was suspicious, took her to the vet at 9 AM Sunday.
ended up the flock had coccidosis and worms.
Cocci is very bad for birds, did not know about sheep.
Flock seems better now. Just a hard lesson, and we still need rain.
Oh, I’m so sorry! 😟
Are the worms gone too?
Most of them.
Flock tends to fight me on it.
Also i need some rain to move some of the electric fencing so they can have fresh pasture.
Cocci is what was killing them.
Sorry, Robo. That sucks.
We’re about to lose our bull, who is very sweet even with the small kids. He got barbed wire wrapped deep into his leg that we didn’t realize until it was too late. Vet said the wire severed the tendons and he’ll collapse if the wire is removed. Advised letting him live until he can’t walk anymore and then putting him down.
Since he’s otherwise healthy, we’re going to try to find someone willing to field butcher and fill the freezer. He’s older and a bull so will probably use to feed the dogs given how much the cost of dog food has skyrocketed and we have 5 large ones. Just trying to salvage something out of this mess. Would much rather have him out happy out in the fields than the meat (young steers are for that).
Sorry to SSD & RD. That sucks.
Thank you.
Its tough for sure. I am sorry about your bull. I understand the pain.
i did not take the skins. I have never done that, and i don’t want to traumatize my wife.
Yeah, I get that. I won’t keep his hide because of that. I’ve heard that there are some people who will come and field butcher just for the hide. Not able to find any though.
Then again my daughter asked if she could put the skull in her room (which she won’t get). She’s a tough one and wants to see how the muscles and everything work.
What Sean said. Hope the remaining sheep stay healthy. Will you be getting a replacement bull, SSD?
We fortunately have a second bull already. The hurt one’s son, who we waited too long to turn to a steer and then ended up keeping.
He’s a good bull too and will let the kids touch him. But he’s not quite as friendly. More like he tolerates being handled while the hurt one seeks out people to be petted. Very rare traits in a bull.

2 days in a row of seeing 7am and no links. If I cannot get banned, there should be links. This is a crisis, forget about this global warming that makes big swirly things in the gulf of Murica.
Look, man, there’s a schedule. The schedule has the links at 8am eastern. It’s got nothing to do with you.
You and your schedules. Schedules are racist things of the patriarchy and white supremacy.
So you admit that they have a proven track record of working.
Now you’re defining racism and white supremacy as working.
Get back to work you lazy corpse.

This cut on my finger is insignificant as far as cuts go, and so long as I don’t touch it, it’s fine. Problem is it’s on the side of the pad of my index finger, so a lot of actions on autopilot result in poking it or putting pressure on it. 🙁 Since these are everyday tasks I have to waste brainpower remembering to use a different finger.
I’m glad that’s high on my list of problems, means there’s less big stuff.
Put some cyanoacrylate on it.
I can’t find it!
I know I have some that I’ve used for similar roles in the past, but it’s gone walkabout, and since it’s back to school season the stores around here are out of glues.

Good morning everyone. Even though it is National Coffee Day, WebDom took me to a cider mill in our quaint town where we procured many gallons to serve at the café (hot cider with caramel and cinnamon). I’ve discovered that hot cider, with the addition of Bourbon or rye whiskey, is absolutely delicious. Also, we’re getting a stove today! No more cooking with just a toaster oven and microwave.
