A new era begins (hopefully).
What a crazy day of football. Especially for the AFC North teams who played, all of which managed to come from ahead and lose somehow. The Braves swept the floundering Mets and are a game away from the division. And it looks like Philly will also hang on and get the last NL Wild Card berth in the next day or two. Playoffs start this week, so the real drama is positioning for the wild card teams. Across the pond, Man City absolutely annihilated ManUre. And that’s it for sports.
Are they doxxing this woman so they can give her an award? Because I thought all migrants were welcome in the sanctuary state and everything she told them are things they proudly claim any time they’re asked about illegals who are in their cities. They almost sound like hypocrites to me.
Whatever it was, they probably did it.
Gee, who could have predicted this? Oh wait, anybody with an ounce of brains could have. Also, they can thank whoever (read: CIA) blew up the pipelines. But somehow I think they’ll blame someone else. And push us to the precipice of war when they start getting cold.
This term is gonna be wild. And they’re starting with a whopper that will reel in the feds regardless how Brown decides.
That’s not supposed to be there.
Something fishy is going on here. Just watch those guys flounder when confronted. It’s great.
This guy is not a marketing genius. Did he really expect it to get a better response? And is he expecting it to do better after accusing everybody who hasn’t seen it of being a homophobe? Somebody in the studio needs to explain things to him.
I know the answer: pay it off. I’d have hoped they’d have learned that when they were attending the classes for which they borrowed the damn money.
Hey, they finally got smart. But don’t worry. These people can still go shoot up in the bathrooms.
I think this will be fun to watch. It was a bizarre phenomenon, that’s for sure.
Let’s get a bit funky. That man was a genius. And his music was just infectious. Can’t help but feel better after you’ve listened to a couple songs. Enjoy them.
And enjoy this frigid fall morning, dear friends.

Self inflicted by the green movement. And the funny thing is the green movement is doubling down on why they need more of this shit while the people are strangled. Europe is about to spend more than 5 years in serious fucking pain and with an economy near collapse (unless it actually does so). Things are gonna get scary.
Europe (Davos) is going to use this to blame the incoming (and unavoidable) sovereign debt crisis on the US. It’s the only way they’re going to be able to keep the German middle class in line. Germany just got ass-raped and they need a scapegoat.
That doesn’t mean I don’t think the US played a part, but there are a lot of dirty SOBs around with a variety of motives, including Poland and the UK. Turns out Anne Applebaum’s hubby (who thanked the US for the bombing) is an old college buddy of Boris Johnson and was a member of the Bullingdon Club at Oxford, which is like Yale’s Skull and Bones on steroids. He’s quite likely playing a role here for the Brits, who also wouldn’t mind seeing Germany (and Russia) take it in the ass while being able to blame it on somebody else.
The one thing you can absolutely say though is that it puts the lie to the claim that Western governments give a shit about climate change. It’s just a ruse to get the rubes to give up their economic power to them.
Seriously, this sounds like excuse making for the Germans sucking themselves over the hardest. As this whole debacle was playing out, these morons still went ahead and shut their nuclear power plants. And they did this after they were warned that becoming totally reliant on power controlled & delivered by Russia was about as idiotic as putting the fox in charge of the hen house, only to tut-tut the people pointing this out, but especially the guy warning them in his typical orange man bad way, for being a dunce. At that point any sympathy for these idiots should have not just evaporated, but sane people should have seen them for the fucking morons they are. The German leadership, the top men still stuck in green world, has a death cult mentality to rival Jim Jones. This is totally self inflicted stupid at this point. Blaming anyone but themselves is just a copout.
All I know is it’s a good thing Germans are, as a group, self-emasculated. Because a proud and determined people would be prepared to wage war to save their nation from collapse. The new Germany will roll over and beg for help. Which could actually save American lives.
Until the people imported into Germany for decades now become the majority, and then turn it into an Islamic state?
I actually think that when there is only so much food to go around, all those imports are going to find out that there is a limit to the largesse of the natives. It will get real ugly.
👆👆👆
If I were Muslim, I would not want to be in the eastern portion of Germany right now.
I wonder – were they imported to be the emergency food supply?
Dunno. Were the Ossies big on herrenwurst?
I don’t discount at all the role that the German Greens played in selling out their own country.
Russia wasn’t trying to fuck over the Germans. Spending billions just to not sell them gas isn’t a strategy. The Poles have vehemently opposed the project from the beginning. I suspect the Brits have too. There’s a whole range of motives here and we may be looking at a complete reorganization of European government. Everybody’s lying.
When the German central bank makes/drives all the big EU decisions, letting Germany do something as moronic as becoming Russia’s energy dependent bitch, simply is a problem that some countries that are not asleep at the wheel shouldn’t let happen.
I blame Germany for 95% of this shit. And Russia for 4.999% of it all.
The pipeline was destroyed in some most heavily patrolled and surveilled waters in the world. The USS Kearsarge was in the neighborhood a few days before.
Whoever actually “did it” did so while NATO purposely looked the other way.
The cameras were turned off again.
It was pointed out to me last week that the US, EU, and NATO are not monolithic entities. That there are groups vying for control within each.
To wit, the Brits signed a trilateral defense agreement with Poland and Ukraine earlier this year, yet we don’t hear that much about it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British–Polish–Ukrainian_trilateral_pact
Yet described elsewhere as a regional security pact. And notice what else is missing? A link to the actual text of this pact. Google results turn up a bare page of results with no actual text either. Wonder why that would be. Should be posted right on the foreign ministry’s webpage, right?…
It certainly played a part in Boris’s trip to Kiev in April. I’m beginning to think the Brits are playing Ukraine like they played Poland in 39.
If the Brits played Poland in ’39 they were bigger morons than I thought.
If you were looking to go to war with the Third Reich, the time to do it was when they went into Alsace and Lorraine at best, the Sudetenland at worst — before they pulled in the Czech armories and industries. If they’d moved initially, Germany would have folded like cheap paper — taking back Alsace and Lorraine was a pure bluff.
Waiting until Poland when their rearming wasn’t going that well and the Royal Navy especially had a lot of key refits (like, oh.. HMS Hood that probably would have survived Bismarck if she’d had the planned refit?) in the queue would just be unbelievably dumb. Maybe they thought France would hold (hell, they almost certainly thought they’d *hold* at least somewhat) and this was more of their “drain France using Germany” brilliance… but that’s about the only scenario where it would have made sense to play the Poles.
Even worse they kept telling the Poles not to mobilize or they wouldn’t honor their defense pact… Then they did jack shit anyway.
True – Turkey, Canada, and the southern European members probably had no knowledge of it. No way the U.S., Denmark, Germany, Poland, probably the UK and Norway, as well as Sweden were not in on it.
Except if it was caused by the most likely scenario, if you want to avoid all sorts of conspiracy theories, that poor Russian maintenance resulted in catastrophic failure. I would not be surprised to find out at some future date that what happened was that the Russians decided to shut down flow of gas off (a process they wanted to avoid because restarting the pipeline after that would then turn into a far more difficult process than just halting supplies while maintaining pressure) and fucked that up.
The LawDog discussion of hydrate plugs was indeed interesting:
https://thelawdogfiles.com/2022/10/nordstream-ii-electric-instapundit.html
“Cock-up over conspiracy. But don’t rule out conspiracy.”
So, Jeffery Epstein didn’t blow up the pipeline?
Nordstream had information that would lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton.
What’s the temperature at the epicenter of a 20 megaton nuclear blast? If warming up is the goal they just might get it.
“Something fishy is going on here. Just watch those guys flounder when confronted. It’s great.”
I am surprised shit like this isn’t more common these days..
Those weren’t weights. They were vibrating anal beads so the fish could play chess better.
It is the norm around here that the winners of fishing derbies have to pass a lie detector test before they can take their winnings home.
Cheating at a fishing contest isn’t all that rare.
Didn’t know that. The article mentions that these two failed a polygraph last year.
Polygraphs are bullshit.
We could have used a polygraph at our annual Canadian fishing trips. Some fish seemed a lot bigger when here were no witnesses.
It is strange that they would need a lie detector test when dealing with a group that is known for their honesty.
If you can’t trust an angler to tell the truth about their catches (or a guy about his 12″ dick) what kind of world are we living in?
I think I was just reminded of another Allamakee County story.
“This term is gonna be wild. And they’re starting with a whopper that will reel in the feds regardless how Brown decides.”
Prediction: team blue will claim the court is illegitimate. Just like they did for every election they lost between 2000 and 2020, before questioning an election with clear irregularities for a change – rather than pure partisan bullshit and lies to undermine whomever was in charge that was not their team – because the court is no longer reliably left leaning turdbuckets.
Wait, is Jackson an ecologist?
I bet the fact she is neither a biologist or an ecologist will stop her from inventing some trope to peddle more marxist green movement jackbootery.
The “Dissed” podcast has a breakdown of the case. It’s another shining example of government overreach.

Let me guess: picking winners & losers, because a free market isn’t something the top men can rely on to rob the productive?
Could be an element of that, but this is more government bureaucracies claiming jurisdiction over private lands using broad interpretation of vague environmental laws.

Which asshat in that bubble will actually be able to call the herd of lemmings back to reality? Hollywierds problem, like that for either team, is that they believe so much shit that is insanely wrong to be true, and nobody is willing to point out the emperor has no clothes. So instead, it MUST be that the problem is with the fucking derps not seeing the world the same way as the asshats in the bubble believe it is (incorrectly).
Nah, it’s just an effective tactic to preemptively excuse the failure of a crap product.
Feige did it with Ms. Ghostbusters, and Kennedy’s been doing it with every Star Wards product since Ep IX.
Effective to excuse it to whom? The viewing public isn’t fooled.
The people paying them/advancing them/supporting their career. Who else matters?
Andor is good. Mando is good. Boba Fett was good. They really only need to beg forgiveness for Ep 8, Ep 9, and Solo.
The Drinker did a video on this. There is a whole process to it. Before the movie comes out, they use fake social media accounts to drum up controversy. Then if/when the movie flops, they can blame it on racists/homophobes/misogynists, and they get to up their own social credit score. It happens over and over.
Another part of it, is that critics are now just social signaling. They dare not say they didn’t like this movie, for example. And so you see the huge disconnect on Rotten Tomatoes.
Eventually, the real power behind the throne will become annoyed with the constant monetary losses and toss the idiots out. I thought it would have happened a year ago. It may take much longer than that. The goal is to make money off of your investments. As losses go, that is far from historic. I think the audience that showed is about right for that kind of rom-com.
Speaking of, Hocus Pocus 2 came out. I saw small pieces of it last night. I will leave it to someone else to review.
“ told CNN that a woman named “Perla” offered him clothes, food and money in exchange to find other people who would go on a flight to Massachusetts.”
Densantis is justlike Dahmer.
They’re going to run this story down hard. If only they would do the same for the thousands of migrant children that the Biden administration is shuffling around the country, leaving in barely vetted households.
Desantis should’ve shipped them to Epstein’s island. The Dems would’ve been happy.
Only if they were all minors, though… Adults are not wanted for that sort of donkey fun..
There is nothing team blue hates more than having their own tactics used to fuck them over with. I think team red tends to not have any serious brutal tactics they use to have this turned on them, because team red statists tends to be of the “roll over and show my belly to the wolf” types.
I remember the alternative lyrics to that song. “I love you. You love me. Let’s engage in sodomy…”
Barney was the first purple groomer? Are we confusing that purple lizard with Franks?
Wasn’t one of the actors in the suit a pedo?
When I was young it was “I love you, you love me. Barney gave you HIV.”
We’ve all fallen for the “you wanna see my purple dinosaur” line.
Say Wut?
Some day in the future, then.
I remember “I hate you. You hate me. Let’s hang Barney from a tree.” I guess the documentary is about me.

Pipelines have their own will like guns.
Procedures were followed. Perps were deceded.
Exactly my thought. Tried and true method of deception.
NPR covered the Waukesha trial (with diverse and inclusive pronunciations of “Waukesha”) and they made an effort to refer to a “Christmas parade” every time. They still claimed it was a red car that drove into people, but did mention the name of the defendant, possibly looking to spin this as a mental health issue rather than racism.
Then later they had a DHS person talk abut pipeline security who interestingly enough did not hammer “Russia did it!” She did say that it would be difficult to secure foreign owned pipelines against “self-sabotage.”
They should just unify their coverage and talk about how it is likely red SUVs steered into the pipelines.
Apparently my ex’s meal preparation engaged in “self-sabotage”.
“the opening of more “Starbucks Pickup” locations, a concept the chain launched in 2019 that doesn’t offer any seating or public bathrooms”
Then how do you return the rental?
Getting drive-thru coffee (and the line is around the building every time I see it, not just in morning either) has to be peak self-indulgence.
The original business model was “hey, it’s a $4 cup of coffee, but it’s made by a barista (not just pushing a button) and there are comfy couches, good music, a fireplace. Come on in an read a book.” Fast forward and it’s “here’s a $5 cup from a machine. No, you can’t come inside and if you did you could sit on a plastic chair.”
There is a donut shop near me that has cars backed out into the street every morning.
The justices return to action after a tumultuous end to the court’s most recent term in which the conservative majority overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling that gave federal protection to abortion rights, leading some to question the court’s legitimacy.
The court’s conservative majority is skeptical of broad assertions of federal agency power, which could align with the arguments being made in Monday’s case. In the court’s term that ended in June, the justices issued a major ruling that limited the ability of the Environmental Protection Agency to tackle climate change by regulating carbon emissions under the Clean Air Act.
That couldn’t have been because carbon dioxide is not a pollutant, and “climate change” is not an officially defined mission of the agency, could it?
Hey, they finally got smart. But don’t worry. These people can still go shoot up in the bathrooms.
From the article:
“No, we’ve never made a policy targeting individuals experiencing homelessness,”
Nice euphemism.
They need to keep as many people as possible in the dark about the fact that homelessness, especially of the permanent type, is a choice.
For most, yes. If they were given homes free and clear they’d still be among the homeless.
It is a choice and we should all tip the hat to those dedicated people. They’ve decided that housing, food and hygiene all take a back seat to getting high. They have really stripped down their lives in order to focus on what is important.
You guys just hate them because they aren’t good little consumers keeping your kkkapitalist system humming.
So what are you Glibs experiencing?
Incels are experiencing sexlessness.
Are you an incel if you are currently not motivated enough to find yourself a sex partner because dealing with the ups & downs of a relationship involving women is so difficult? I used to admire lesbians, but these days feel sorry for lesbians. Can you imagine both partners coming at each other hard as wives do to their husbands in time? Ouch!
Makes explaining your uncleared search history easier.
Bitch set me up!
I was always jealous of gays, for the same reasons you grew to pity the lesbians. If only I liked cock, my life would be so simple.
Gay hookups are easier, gay relationships are not at all short on drama.
The end of my comment was surely a bit tongue in cheek (entendre not intended), grass is always greener and all that. Seems like stable relationships are hard for anyone, and maybe worse for homosexuals of any stripe. Particularly since that’s what I actually desire… Yeah. I will say that time of the month is a mean little trick of nature…
Yeah, small selection pool I know — but when I was working Wally World during the college years, the gay and lesbian contingent of the workers there were up for about 75% of the drama. (Including one guy that a lead cashier roped into marrying her just after my wife and I got married… then he came out two weeks later… oops.) A couple of the nicest guys I’ve ever met were included in that, but they could be definite drama as well as drag queens.
Just as random data points – of all the couples my wife and I are friends with, the only divorces have been the two lesbian couples we’re friendly with.
Everyone involved immediately jumped right back into serious, long-term relationships and two of the 4 ladies are engaged again.
I see where the “What does a lesbian bring on a second date?” joke comes from…
Unfun Fact, the highest levels of domestic violence are in Lesbian relationships.
A curious desire to visit Starbucks now that there aren’t so many reeking bums in there.

So it looks like after a few weeks of depleting our national oil reserves to dangerously low levels – which will need to be refilled at double, if not triple the price per barrel that it had been filled up by the previous admin, by someone else, because these fucks will certainly not do it – to artificially drop the price of oil without doing anything that really helps long term, other than allow them to claim they were fixing something they broke in the first place, they have hit a wall, and are back to blaming evil big oil following the rules of supply & demand for the prices going back up.
Just in time for the mid terms. Oops!
They had to have meant it to continue for another 2 months… Guess they fucked up and deserve everything they hopefully receive in November. Economically things are really going to suck for the next 4 years. If we’re lucky.
The only way to really fix the US energy market is to deprive the ability of the executive to make capricious policy changes. Without guaranteed regulatory stability, the multi-decade investments we need will not make sense.
Someone is attacking our energy sector, our food sector, etc… But it is all internal and self-inflicted. The US gov’t is at war with the people.
“simply”
We’re saved! Oh wait… there’s no food or jobs.
We’re witnessing history in the making (or possibly unmaking).
What I found interesting was that the article was laying out that if they hit 90% storage (they’re apparently at 88%), they think they can squeeze through the winter.
Which immediately raised the question in my mind… ok, but what happens next? Don’t see any replacements coming on line, if leave industry shut down to start storing for the next winter, you’re still screwed….. maybe they think the “Russian Regime Change” will happen after the winter, but I sure wouldn’t count on that…
I was wondering about the North Sea — growing up, that was where UK oil extraction had moved to, I would have thought since they weren’t as into natgas at the time there’d be potential there.
https://taketonews.com/gas-extraction-in-the-north-sea-in-demand-again/ implies there’s some motion… but a lot of green whining that they shouldn’t ramp up. That was in June, so we’ll see how long the whining lasts when it gets cold. Don’t know how much is there or how easy it is to extract, but I’d be surprised if it wasn’t enough to offset Russia if they actually went full bore again.
What I’ve learned over the past two weeks is that mutually assured destruction was a stupid policy and that nuclear superpowers can fuck directly with each other militarily. Cross your fingers and hope Putin and Biden are right.
Don’t forget the bending over to kiss your own ass goodbye training, to complete your prep, straffinrun.

Yup… The past 79 years of policy was all wrong and stupid (despite apparently succeeding in not killing us all) luckily, we have new EXPERTS to listen to. What could go wrong?
Closed-door Fed meeting today after the barely-averted full-blown sovereign debt crisis in UK last week.
It seems that the inflection point may be upon us after decades of waiting. No matter which way the Fed goes, some groups of very powerful people are going to lose big. Let’s all hope they go for a stronger dollar because the alternative is almost unthinkable.
Watching the UK implode is my gilty pleasure.
Erm, “gilty”? Like in gold covered?
Don’t glibsplain my puns.

I can hear the press secretary now:

For UnCiv and any lurkers who might be in the Lake George/ADK region:
Nettle Meadow’s restaurant in Lake Luzerne is improving. They started an Octoberfest menu this month, and I was quite happy with the saurbraten. Two thick slices served on mashed potatoes with gurkensalat and vegetable (warning for the flavor limited: my vegetable was kale.).
Is this a comeback story, or an improvement on something that had been good before?
Their cheese has always been fantastic. The problem was that their restaurant’s original menu had to put their cheese in everything, regardless of whether or not it made sense, or they made the appropriate kind of cheese. So their “poutine” was fries covered in cheese sauce (since they did not sell cheese curds).
The hiking group eats there after Lake George hikes since they are dog-friendly.

“Ex-Clinton adviser: Hillary setting up 2024 presidential bid with ‘open borders’ critique of Biden
Hillary Clinton is “dusting off” her husband’s playbook by criticizing the Biden administration’s “open borders” to put herself in place to mount a 2024 presidential run, veteran political consultant Dick Morris said in a new interview.
Morris, a former aide to President Bill Clinton, said Hillary is setting herself up to enter the race as a “moderate” choice for Democrats in two years for what would be her third shot at the White House.”
https://nypost.com/2022/10/02/hillary-setting-up-2024-presidential-bid-with-open-borders-critique-of-biden/
No.
This bitch feels entitled to being the one with her boots on the world’s collective necks out of spite for people rejecting her for being an evil cunte…
Meh, Dick Morris. He could just be saying shit because he hasn’t been getting much attention lately.
Quite possible, although it seems like Hillary wanted the presidency badly for a long time and may be reacting to the weakness of her potential primary opponents.
She’s like an aging QB. “I am a shadow of my former self, but holy shi-ite, I am still so much better than these guys. Andy Dalton and Zappe are starting and you are going to tell me to hit the showers for good?”
Her downfall – like Favre’s – will be that dick pick she sent to the reporter.
You mean Huma ?
But it’s HER turn !
Could you imagine Wednesdays if she decides to run? *Shudders*
She will seek the presidency until she dies.
What will the Jawboner-in-Chief say?
Oil prices jumped Monday as OPEC+ considers reducing output by more than 1 million barrels per day (bpd) to buttress prices with what would be its biggest cut since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Brent crude futures rebounded $3.26, or 3.8%, to $88.40 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was up 4.2%, or $3.33, at $82.82 per barrel.
Oil prices have tumbled for four straight months since June, as Covid-19 lockdowns in top energy consumer China hurt demand while rising interest rates and a surging U.S. dollar weighed on global financial markets.
To support prices, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, known collectively as OPEC+, is considering an output cut of more than 1 million bpd ahead of Wednesday’s meeting, OPEC+ sources told Reuters.

Based on the man’s explanation and witness statements, investigators determined the shooting was
accidentalnegligent.Even I know that’s the correct way to put it.
This one sounds more like a ‘don’t point the gun at anything you don’t want to put a bullet in’ deal, with a side of ‘clear the gun before you start fingerbanging it.’

A vast array of topics to start this Monday morning. Looks like the world didn’t shut down over the week end. I’m thinking the Fed meeting will be quiet, everyone looking around the room, waiting for someone to speak about how a new and innovative strategy will solve all the problems.
I think the Fed meeting may be a full-blown shouting match. They know the problem, they know there is no soft landing, now they have to decide who loses.
Us, it’s always us.
I’m not so sure. Turns out Powell is an eighth generation American whose family came over on the Mayflower and was involved in the revolution.
And he told LaGarde that he doesn’t give a shit about ESG to her face this year, in not so many words but she got the point. He may actually give the euro and the pound the fucking that they deserve.
What good choice do they have as long as spending is out of control?
It’s definitely a lesser of two evils situation, but Powell is on record telling Congress to get its shit together. He’s been more blunt than other Fed chairs and that makes me think he may be serious about saving the dollar.
The Turks show us how it’s done:
Turkey’s inflation hits 83% as Erdogan vows to keep cutting interest rates
I’m picturing something closer to this.
And bonus, this slaps.
Perfect!

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11273427/Former-CIA-director-warns-destroy-Russias-troops-Putin-uses-nuclear-weapons.html
Did he keep his hands above the table?
If I had a sister I wouldn’t want her sitting between Petraeus and Bill Clinton…
1. Putin never threatened to use nukes, he just restated Russian defense policy.
2. Patraeus is a pockmarked failed general and human being from whom I wouldn’t take advice on how to manage a McDonalds, much less a situation like this.
He ought to be rotting in prison.
Yep. He only restated what both sides policy has been for decades. Even Dave Smith got that one wrong.
Smith still wants a peace deal though and didn’t double down on a move that would end in global nuclear annihilation. What P is advocating for just proves the man is a mental midget. A ten year old with a decent head on their shoulders would know that’s a dreadful idea.
Dave did well on Rogan as usual. That part just stuck out to me. 2.5 hour recorded conversation between me and Joe would be filled with missteps.
would DESTROY Russia’s troops in Ukraine and sink its Black Sea fleet if Putin uses nuclear weapons
Stupid is as stupid does. This war is none of our business. We are already too involved.
radiation could drift into NATO countries
I thought fallout was to the northeast.
If we use Chernobyl’s fallout as a baseline, Looks like baltics, balkins and central europe get hammered.
Alright, right wing Carl Sagan overperformed forcing a runoff:

Maybe Brazil won’t go off the cliff after all.
Plenty of time for the socialists to fortify things before October 30th.
I have very little faith in the Brazilian government. Also, the world media has come against Bolsonaro just as hard as they have Trump; even if he were perfect, he’d never get a fair shake.
Powell is on record telling Congress to get its shit together.
How long tyil Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders hit the teevee circuit agitating for Powell’s removal due to his ties to Trumpian MAGA-fascism and racist inequity?
I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody offs him. The amount of money at play and the national interests involved are staggering.
It was interesting watching Truss get slapped into pulling back on her promised tax cuts. I have a feeling taxes are going up everywhere in the west to cover shortfalls.
It was almost as if it was designed to make free-market reforms look bad.
All I see are psy-ops anymore.
You people seem happy about old Pie freezing. Look if I freeze in Europe I will come to america randomly crash at your place and sleep on your couch while drinking your whisky. Is that what you want?
I can Amazon you a scarf.
I have an old storage shed and a cot you can crash on. If it makes you feel more at home I can paint it up like a Roma wagon.
Sure. But I have to warn you, I don’t have any Whisky, and my couch is kinda cluttered, so you’d have to clear it off.
I’m used to cold pie. 23 years married.
Yeah, that’s when I had enough of being married and decided to call my ex’s bluff and go free, straffinrun… Hope you have better luck.
The couch isn’t mine but you are welcome to finish off the bottle of whisky I’ve had for 20 years.
My place is even smaller than your place, plus it’s in the Northeast.
You’re gonna wanna hit up one of the Texas Glibs.
Although my fieldstone foundation does make the basement rather crypt-like…
They’ll just put you on a bus to DC.🚌
Just checked – looks like you’d be right at home here, temperature-wise. We’re quite a bit rainier, though (about 3x).
We just thought the undead don’t care about central heating and all, Pie.
More seriously — sure I care, and I hope Romania is more sane than Germany here. There’s just little I can do but hope for a return of sanity, be that via reality hitting the EuroGreens in the face enough or an uprising when the populace gets sick of their crap. I frankly root for the latter in my heart if it could be done peacefully (but these things almost never go down that way) since it would bolster the return of sanity over the insane energy-suicide policies of the Davos set, but at this distance and with PPP screwing things up over here, there’s not really much else we can be doing. If you do care to emigrate, happy to pitch in for finding you housing or whatnot since I would assume you’d be East Coast, Mid-west at best on entry. But you love Romania from what you’ve posted, so not really expecting that either. Stay safe, do your best as we all will.
I wouldn’t mind. I’ve got room. Do you have any hot Romanian cousins who you could bring with you?
Do you have any hot Romanian cousins who you could bring with you – I do not.
Then all offers are gone, man…
If he had hot cousins, he could stay warm all winter and wouldn’t need to come here.
Don’t threaten us with a good time.
Pie, if Europe is too cold for you, my door in Minnesoda is open to you. Come spend a balmy January here. We can go out ice fishing when things get too warm inside.
Depends how much rent you can afford. Might be cheaper than your gas/electric bill.
The German Green Party federal election platform from 1987 opposed ISDN, digitalization of employee information, broadband, the digitalization of the telephone network, and demanded a ban on cable and satellite television.
https://twitter.com/AndrewHammel1/status/1576496797648048134
sensible policies all things considered
Yes. Back then the Germans and many western Euros actively disliked American culture and politics. They had their own opinions and did things their way.
All gone. Now the European media and politicians all spew the same nonsense as mainstream American outlets.
I think this has a lot more to do with edicts and action from Brussels than anything from the US, and that while the people in these countries are still just as pissed about this shit as they used to be, they have far fewer recourses. Now, that doesn’t mean they eventually will not say “Enough is enough”, like Hungary, Poland, Brexit, and now Italy, have dne, but to get there they really must be desperate.
Brussels is overrated as opposed to the local assholes. look at britain. They left and their politicians are like Brussels on steroids
Yeah, your Europol class seems to be comprised of fucking evil lizard people in the west.

Truck warfare
Ford decisively answered the Ram 1500 TRX with its F-150 Raptor R trim level. This 2022 truck features Ford’s own supercharged V8 (an evolution of the engine in the GT500 Mustang). It also one-ups the TRX with 37-inch tires and a taller lift.
——-
Instead of a supercharged TRX-killer, General Motors is fixing its flagship supertruck hopes on electric vehicles. The revived GMC Hummer is a limited-edition electric supertruck that can go toe-to-toe with the F-150 Raptor R and the Ram 1500 TRX.
General Motors is choosing not to focus any of its energy on a supercharged powerplant. But it actually makes some of the world’s most powerful V8s without the use of superchargers. The latest Corvette ZR1 is powered by bespoke V8 which uses a Ferrari-like flat-plane crankshaft configuration to make over 600 horsepower, making it the most powerful naturally-aspirated production V8 in history. Chevrolet also holds the record for most powerful non-production naturally-aspirated V8 with its 10-liter, 1,000 horsepower ZZ 632.
Perhaps, before the future goes fully electric, we’ll see one of these two powerplants in a Silverado or Sierra shake up the supertruck war.
I don’t get it. A truck is a tool.
Also-
Unless my ears were playing tricks on me yesterday, I heard an ad for Chevy(?) bragging about a 2.7 liter turbo V6 in one of their trucks. The Hellcat makes sense, compared to that.
supercharged V8 – how can you make such a gas guzzling engine at a time like this? Boycott!!!
Pffft, try some heavy towing with an electric truck/SUV. Hope you don’t have to go further than a coupla dozen miles.
I linked to a youtuber over the weekend that tried towing a light-medium load with the new Ford electric pickup. The pickup got one third the normal mileage when towing the relatively light load.
EVs are useless for towing.
https://youtu.be/QsO-7ENKGP4
Uh-oh, a goatee. He’s definitely a bad guy.
When I was a kid, pickups were a cheap second car that people used to actually get work done. They were cheap because they had limited seating and no frills. They had tie down points and holes for stakes along the bed.
I bet the majority of the SUV’s around here are driven by suburban women who commute to their job in them. They need the SUV because of the one or two times it snows hard during a commute. They absolutely need the 4WD to get home safely.
It would be interesting to know how many times those trucks and SUVs were even taken on gravel.
Our going-to-Home-Depot-and-picking-things-up-off-Craigslist Ram is a 2000 and has 365,000 miles on it. The dashboard is caved in. The leather seats are torn to shreds. What floor mats? It does have a crew cab. But yet…it still gets our jobs done.
We’ll be in the market for an F-350 in the next year or so, for towing and camping duty. We’ll probably buy a fairly new one if not an outright new one (depends on the used truck market) as I plan to have it last the rest of my life.
As Swiss says, it will be my Death Truck.
My buddy waited over a year for his Super Duty. The thing was 99% done, but it sat forever waiting for the final parts.
Not sure if things have improved much, so maybe an order wouldn’t be a dumb idea.
Friends bought a new Ram 3500 crew cab diesel to pull their heavy-assed travel trailer.
That’s a really nice truck. He’s got a cap on it and got this slide-out storage system:
https://decked.com/products/decked-ram-2500-3500
for his golf clubs, etc. Really great setup.
I love those diesels. Good mileage when you need it, great towing too. Beats a gas V8 in my book.
So, let me get this straight. The headline states, quite clearly mind you, that the Bro was 4th(!) , AND gay?
Who would have thought…

The difference is, when they are “close” to being tried, one is a spectacular success (like Hong Kong pre-1997) and the other a spectacular failure, like, Venezuela, Cuba, Soviet Union, etc, etc, etc.

Socialism maximizes choice and freedom for citizens through sustainable power and wealth distributions.
Capitalism sells fake freedom, mostly on manufactured wedge issues, while the top <1% of capital interests control all the choices.

Today is German Unity Day. Celebrating 32 years as a reunified country.
So of course today – Poland’s foreign minister has signed an official note to Germany requesting some $1.3 trillion in reparations for the damage incurred by occupying Nazi Germans during World War I.
Because why not? The world seems to be spiraling into economic collapse and conflicts based on ancient grudges.
Given how much German land is now in Poland, I’d say the reparations were paid decades ago.
Is any german land in poland, or was that originally polish land?
And what do I mean by originally anyway?
Define Poland. And german.
If they’re talking about war reparations, I’d go from land as owned prior to the world wars.
Yeah, large chunks of Prussia were ceded to Poland and Russia.
Of course, that land has been squabbled over for centuries but pre-WWII it was “German”.
After WWII, Stalin moved the borders of Poland west a couple hundred miles.
And Königsberg.
An important part of that is that they pushed all the borders west.
They should be submitting a similar bill to the Russians. Losing a quarter of your population over the course of 6 years because both your neighbors are assholes would make me more than a little upset.
Today is German Unity Day. – know. Every fucker in Germany I need to talk to is out of office
They’re all out chopping firewood.
Gathering dung to dry.
Had to check the article to make sure you left off an “I” there in your summary. Otherwise, there were either some time traveling Nazis who really should have used the tech better or the Poles are really, really confused about who was fighting in the Great War and all. 😉
So I was heating something in the microwave and was debating between 17 secs and 19 secs.
And it made me wonder, does anyone else generally use prime numbers when warming things up, or is that just me?
It’s just you.
I use multiples of 5.
I don’t think I ever warmed up anything under 30 seconds
certain bread/pastry items need way less than 30 seconds.
And 29 and 31 are both convenient when you want to use 30 (unless I just hit the start button which just does 30 automatically).
I never warm bread / pastry to be fair
between 17 secs and 19 secs.
That would be 18 and not prime.
Technically correct, best kind, etc., etc.
I don’t like where this is going.
It will get the undivided attention of a certain member
On the other hand, I was ticked off at church yesterday because there are 19 fall decoration wreath things hanging up, and my brain couldn’t group them into any pattern.
I usually use prime numbers for the volume of my headphones, laptop speakers, and the TV.
Using them for the microwave is just weird.
Everyone knows microwaves should be set using the Fibonacci series.
Primes are for condom sizes.
Fun Fact, Jimbo is not allowed to use the microwave since he cooks everything for 11 minutes 23 seconds
2,3,5,13,89 are both primes and fibonacci.
Ive got a +30s button, so everything is done in multiples of 30s. If its something that melts readily, such as cheese, I’ll just pull it when it looks like it needs to be pulled
Exactly correct.
Well, unless something needs a lot of time. Anything over 2.5 minutes a
I told the time in because it is not efficient, even accounting for having to press ‘start’.

All you bringatrailer guys, check out this local auction I’m watching.
Bigger than your average Tokyo apartment, but where would you park it?
Fourscore’s compound! I’d be the bomb at the next Honey Harvest
‘leading some to question the court’s legitimacy.’
… And then they were arrested by the FBI for treason, and barred from running for office, right?
Good morning, Sloop!
Question: how did you get involved in auctioneering?
Something fishy is going on here. Just watch those guys flounder when confronted. It’s great.
I saw that yesterday. And promptly went down a rabbit hole of pro fishing scandals. I came away with the profound determination to never mistake my hobbies for my career.
Wise man. I turned a beloved hobby into a business once. I’m still bitter.
I worked at an auction house as a the pit boss. After a certain number of auctions I was qualified to be the auctioneer. I actually did take the podium once when my boss was running late.
An introvert does not an auctioneer make.
It was a fun place to work though, hustling the customers.
Muh soshul contract
Why are people stealing these days? That’s a tough one. To some degree it’s a reflection of our times. Simply put, America’s social contract is straining. Until recently we’ve been able to lay out goods—often in mammoth, big box stores with only a handful of employees. When our social contract is strong—i.e people are getting a fair shake—it’s a model that works. Now it seems more people are stealing instead. (BTW, our stressed social contract may be capping how far we can push this people-light, technology-heavy model. Last month Wegman’s ended its scan-and-go shopping app. Why? Shrinkage of course.)
I think wealth inequality has everything to do with all this. Think back to the so-called Public Enemies era in the 1930s, when bank robbers ran rampant across the land. That also coincided with the Great Depression. Less money in the hands of poor people and more stealing. Seems like cause and effect to me.
Making up excuses for thievery has no corrosive effect on the social contract.
Once we attain our goal of utopian fascism everyone will have a job and a place to live. Cash will be outlawed and all commerce will be monitored.
No it isn’t.
When have they not stolen. There’s a whole industry built around people stealing things.
Hobbes wasn’t right about humanity, but he wasn’t all wrong either.
I don’t think government is really an “industry.”
Hm. A whole industry built around PREVENTING people from stealing.
Taxation is theft.
When they want something and they don’t want to pay for it?
Although he did touch on the lynchpin of the problem. Everything is downstream form the banking system. If the banking system is corrupt and amoral, society will be as well.
I’d even venture that the political system is less important than the banking system in this regard.
Self-bragging:
Great match at Watervilet on Saturday. I tend to shoot better there, I imagine it’s because I’m not a member and unknown there so they never ask me to RO.
Two milestones:
I shot my first full-speed completely clean stage. 24As.
I shot a classifier fast enough to get into the next class (B) had I shot it perfectly. (13-06 “Too Close for Comfort” 6A 4C in 8.79 seconds).
Excellent!

Classic misdirection and strawman.
If you don’t it seems most of them just end up gay with no regrets, at least no permanently disfiguring regrets anyway.
There’s money to be made in cutting off tits.
Honestly, I think in 20 years this drive will be looked back on like lobotomies are today. There are going to be a lot of rightly pissed off former kids with the wrong junk being very vocal about it.
Well, if we don’t, they’re not sterilized, they’re less prone to suicide, and they have a good chance of being normal, healthy adults.
If we do, they’re permanatly sterilized, and have a 50% probability that they will at least try to off themselves – waaaay higher than if left well enough alone.
Not even close to a choice, keep those groomers and doctors away from the kid.
It’s not the child that’s scary. It’s the adults that did that to them.

Did he really expect it to get a better response? And is he expecting it to do better after accusing everybody who hasn’t seen it of being a homophobe?
The fandom menace strikes again.
Why isn’t he complaining about the jillion gay folks that must exist in America (seems like 25% of the population must be gay) who failed to show up and shell out 15 bucks to see his movie?
The upper bound for gays is no more than 3%.
You gotta be wrong. The most prevalent portrayal in the shows and advertising seems to be gay inter-racial couples.

Barney docuseries traces the unexpected hatred for TV’s best-known dinosaur
In the 80-second trailer, Bob West, a Barney performer who put on the 70-pound puffy purple costume, said death threats were made against his family.
So we are not going to get together and be family?
Seriously, is there a Big Death Threat industry that sits in numerous Mom’s basement and churns out “death threats?” It appears that almost any activity, no matter how innocuous, attracts death threats. Every member of Congress gets them, every tv personality, every restaurant, every advertiser. [Granted, some may be deserved, but so much is made of
idle threats while actual depraved individuals roam the streets and are seldom collared and punished.]
So you are saying that we did it.

A rom-com about gay dudes having a weak opening, what a shock. Who is the market for this movie? Rom-coms mostly appeal to women, who want to imagine themselves in the place of the female star who falls in love with the male co-star. They don’t want to see a rom-com about men falling in love with men. And most men only watch rom-coms because their girlfriends or wives wanted to, and dragged them along.
There’s an audience for the written form, which is largely women, according to Moj, who is our resident expert on that. But I don’t know how many want to indulge in it in a public venue.
Indded. Lots of straight women fluve them some m/m romance novels. I have been told why but it still makes no sense to me.
What is the alleged reason?
1. No sexual politics
2. No power imbalances
3. Can concentrate on the romance itself instead of nitpicking a het couple’s issues.
In my opinion, there’s a good dose of self-loathing thrown in. When you’re a woman who shies away from any mention of icky girl parts, you’ve got issues with your body.
The same reason men like seeing hot woman-on-woman action?
I’ll confess I quite like Four Weddings and A Funeral. Not sure if that will cost me my man card.
Don’t worry, It’s already gone.

‘Rom-coms mostly appeal to women, who want to imagine themselves in the place of the female star who falls in love with the male co-star.’
My parents used to watch these and being an impressionable youth I never understood why such handsome, successful men would debase themselves seeking stupid, unworthy women. It makes much more sense now.
