Lynx?
I have to slam these links together, because I am going to get an ultrasound on my remaining kidney. My insanely defensive doc wants a look. I think that guarantees I am fine.
Here are some fairly hasty links (and curse any of you who preempted me!)
- Service weapons were discharged.
- Bad news from all over.
- A Texas woman…
- At first I was glad to see the headline, but then I read the details.
I am sure all of you will have earned this…
All kidneying aside, I hope you’re OK, Swiss.
Nice to lead off with a joke there, old bean.
It takes some stones to do that.
Let he without sin…
Can’t we just get along, Brothers and Cyst-ers?

At which point a stone came from the crowd, striking the sinner quite dead.

I don’t have one of those. Wot’s it like?

All right, people. ‘Neph with the organ jokes. They’re all pretty offal.
Hopefully your kidney scan goes better than the voice hearing tumor lady from this morning’s discussion, Swiss. Be well.
Also — meta-comment… did anything come from the request for a non-Paypal option for donating to the Server Squirrel Feed Fund earlier? I cancelled Paypal after the TOS issue, and would rather not deal with them in any form. Hell, I’ll happily mail y’all a check if you give me an address to do it… but surely there are better options these days.
I second this emotion…
You’re not the only one….
Or is there a Zelle option?
Thirdly
I used Paypal and then took a shower.
Me too. And I made sure they didn’t keep my card info.
I only use PayPal when PayPal pays me.
Feel better Swiss. I hope everything is okay with your kidney.
“Valdez refused and sped off, running a traffic light and “nearly colliding with officers and other vehicles,” officials said.”
Criminal mastermind.
“Valdez is scheduled to be sentenced in January 2023, and faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted.”
That seems a bit harsh.

Apologies to JoCo, of course.
COP27 ended Sunday morning after a long night of negotiations with an agreement to create a global fund for “loss and damage” that will provide financial assistance to poor nations struck by climate disaster. While the fund was welcomed by countries of the Global South who suffer most from the effects of climate change, controversial decisions were left until next year, including who should pay into it.
In other words, no one’s going to pay for it.
The consensus among the well-connected is frighteningly in sync though. I was listening to an interview with Meghan O’Sullivan and Jason Bordoff, both of whom are fixtures in DC and the Ivies, and they are absolutely operating with absolute certainty that the IPCC is correct. Never mind that the IPCC has never been correct about a damn thing.
I couldn’t finish the interview. The near total ignorance of our complete reliance on fossil fuels for everything was mind-boggling. They truly think that we can just throw money, force, and bodies at the problem until it solves itself. And they made it clear that countries that don’t go along are a “global security risk.”

Not a single third world country really believes this stuff, but they’d be dumb to pass on a chance to get in on the graft.
As we’ve been told time and again, “Foreign aid is taking money from poor people in rich countries and giving it to rich people in poor countries.” Because even in shitholes, money and power will find each other.
And if you’re the head of an NGO that can skim 90% off the top with no accountability (other than kicking ten percent to the big guy), so much the better. Double bonus if you can signal your virtue while attending a conference in Cap d’Antibes.
‘Because even in shitholes, money and power will find each other.’
Even? I’d say especially there. In fact a shit hole can almost be defined by the extent to which power and money go together. That’s why DC being the richest area of the country for the first time ever is so troubling.

“USA soccer reporter Grant Wahl is REFUSED ENTRY to stadium in Qatar ahead of game against Wales for wearing rainbow t-shirt… with security guard insisting ‘it’s not allowed’ amid OneLove LGBT armband controversy”

What a shithole.
Asshole.
Your stupid fucking shirt isn’t going to convert the minds of an entire country to your views. Some might even take unkindly to your patronizing smugness.
It’s not about getting Qatar to change, it’s about making himself the story.
Patronizing smugness is Wahl’s stock in trade.
Trying to become the next Keith?
What, he’s known for wahling and gnashing of teeth or something?
Well, his wahling is white.
And it is an Ahab nation.
it’ll get him killed.
Did anyone not know the fundamental Islamic worlds’ positions on this stuff? I mean, if you’re going to throw a little crying hissy fit over not being able to virtue signal with stuff they (claim to) find abhorrent… then you should have just boycotted the venue in the first place and stayed home, jackasses. If no teams want to go — their bribing the organization (which is what I think happened… can’t be arsed to care) wouldn’t matter.
They’re going to be lucky if Qatar doesn’t decide to enforce some local laws on their asses ala Russia and that WNBA idiot. So sorry… no sympathy here.
These international sports committees think they can sway a country by giving them the opportunity to host.
I think they used migrant labor at like $200/month to build the stadiums too.
Qatar rightly as a nation said fuck off
Probably the dirtiest WC ever.
We heard all kinds of stuff about the corruption of the Russia WC. I doubt we’ll hear a thing about this one.
Eh, they’re entitled to their own views and all, but let’s not stray from the fact that this is a government that is suppressing free speech.
Now, yes, they all should have boycotted instead of trying to have their cake and eat it too. Since it’s so important to these folks, instead a threat of a yellow card and all the rainbows are put away. Ridiculous.
I find I have plenty of contempt for all involved. The thuggish theocrats, the preening virtue-signalling “journalist” (or whatever he is supposed to be), FIFA, all of them. What a putrescent pile of fail they all are.
^^^ This. ^^^
Yep.
It doesn’t actually *say* anything. It’s just a soccer ball with concentric rainbow colors around the ball. Are they going to tell everyone to close their eyes if a real rainbow appears?
I have no idea who Grant Wahl is, but I don’t think he is the asshole here.
Frankly, I’m more upset that they cancelled beer sales at the last minute, except for one area. I’m sure that InBev (or whoever paid for sponsorship) was really happy about that one.
This whole thing is just more proof–as if any were needed–that FIFA is an anachronism, corrupt to the core, and the sooner it dies the better.
I envision lots of Brits flying a long way only to find all of the beer tents empty.
Truly a recipe for peace in the public square.
Oh, it’s assholes all the way down.

I am going to get an ultrasound on my remaining kidney.
Swiss, best wishes.
The latest wave is testing China’s resolve to stick to adjustments it has made to its zero-COVID policy, which calls for cities to be more targeted in their clampdown measures and steer away from widespread lockdowns and testing that have strangled the economy and frustrated residents.
They can’t lose face, so Zero Covid must continue. Plus, it’s nice cover for getting rid of dissidents which I’m certain they’re doing.
I am going to get an ultrasound on my remaining kidney.
I hope it’s a boy.
I can’t believe Swiss is following the CCP’s One Kidney program.
The only thing I am certain about with that place is that the CCP is lying. Doesn’t matter what the question is.
“I have to slam these links together, because I am going to get an ultrasound on my remaining kidney. ”
Stay healthy brother. Good luck on the tests.
Tell them to turn the dial up to 11.
Hope all goes well.
“Ya see… most clinics, they just have ultrasounds and they just go up to 10, yeah? But this one… this one is HYPER-SONIC… it goes all the way to 11!”
I’m just wondering if (based on the picture text) Swiss is one of the last holdouts with https://lynx.browser.org/

I still fire up Links now and then.
Just pointed it at this site – it does a decent job.

Sweet…
I use links as (among other things) an html to text conversion
tool. I have a need to store email in a database, and a
text version where none is supplied is useful for feeding into
the full text search engine.
I also use it as an html mime type reader for email so I can read the
html crap people mistakenly think is email.
So, not exactly in daily use, but still a regular part of my toolset.
I used to use Lynx all the time when I was on site at a client with nothing to do. You can read the news and it looks like you are working is someeone walks by.
W00t party like it’s 2002!

I’M A VICTIM OF TRICKNOLOGY!!!
Long piece on how Somalis are being “victimized” by racists who force them to buy houses using a contract for deed because their faith doesn’t allow them to use loans with interest.
There are a lot of “But in Somalia they don’t read contracts, they just trust people to tell them what is in it” type of rationalizations, but it comes down to people biting off way more than they can chew.
I’m sure the end game is to add a ton more regulations to contract for deeds.
Ummm…how is a downpayment plus monthly installments different than a loan with interest?
If you mark it up so the interest is built in, it doesn’t count somehow?
This sounds like a loan with interest and no pre-payment allowed.
Yes, apparently if you’re paying someone else a fixed and promised amount that just so happens to be at or above the amortized cost of the mortgage, it is just a payment plan of a fixed price, no interest between those parties.
Considering some of the stuff the Catholic Church finagled itself into saying was right in the Middle Ages, that’s pretty small potatoes.
I’m sure several (((folks))) here can point out similar “Do you really think that fools God?” techniques (like… automated oven timers for cooking on the Sabbath… *you* aren’t cooking… the machine you set up just happens to be cooking, right).
*shabbos goy waves hi*
In medieval times they used to get around it by the lender holding (part of) the lendee’s land as collateral, and siphoning off all the income from the land until the loan was repaid. You see, having profitable use of property doesn’t count as interest! And I’m sure that Islamic law has similar workarounds; maybe the contract for deed is a standard tactic to avoid running afoul of usury laws.
Also, frankly, I don’t believe that Somalis are stupid enough to not read contracts.
I think that might be a problem.
Sounds like we need to create a vast new Federal Bureau tasked with
making up shitdrafting regulations to oversee these transactionsIts all sematics, or in this case, Somaltics.
Don’t forget to send taxpayer money to NGOs to give financial advice to Somalis.
I think we got that covered already. The NGO’s named in just this story:
•Isuroon, a nonprofit that advocates for Somali women
•Central Minnesota Community Empowerment Organization, a nonprofit serving the Somali community in St. Cloud
•Sakan Community Resource, a nonprofit that provides financial counseling and homebuying classes to the Muslim immigrant community
•Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid
•Legal Services Advocacy Project, the policy advocacy arm of Legal Aid in Minnesota
•Amherst H. Wilder Foundation, a nonprofit community organization in St. Paul
Wow. We need to start a Glib R. Tarian Foundation to get on the gravy train.

Let’s see… I was homeless for a long time… Had to work four jobs at one point… Destroyed my arches parking cars for money, lost all my belongings repeatedly, and just now at the age of 50-56, I have a short window of stability. You want that, Jesse? I still have stomach issues from starvation twenty years later.
Shut up whitey, you’re still more privileged than Obama and Lebron.
I wouldn’t switch places with pretty much anybody, to tell you the truth. Its taken a long time, but my ass finally wore a groove into my couch that fits just right.

That’s been obvious for a very long time.
I have trouble getting too worked up by this one. I mean, a woman willing to shell out five or ten grand to get insulted and dressed down over dinner is probably an entitled white girl who deserves to shell out five or ten grand to get insulted and dressed down over dinner. The only problem I can see is that they vote. And are willing to shell out my money to get me insulted and dressed down.

I think I am witnessing the beginning of the end of civilization. My wife were in Walgreens tonight, standing in line to pick up a couple of scripts. By the time we got to the counter, it had already been 30 minutes. By that time, the line was to the front door and people were getting angry. A lady yelling at them because she was in line for 90 minutes for a script the website told her was ready for pickup. We never even go down unless something is ready. We were there 1 hour and 15 minutes. This is not a one time thing. It has been like this and getting worse for months.
What is happening is that the left have broken the system in every way with the lockdowns and destruction of the economy. We are closing in fast on complete chaos and a state of total dysfunction. It is going to get very ugly. And you cannot even vote them out now, they just count the mail-in ballots until they win. We are so totally fucked.
Yes, our current best hope is a bug-eyed autistic guy who markets self-igniting automobiles and wants to put a chip in your brain. Things ain’t looking great.
The latest mail in ballot change here is to permanently accept ballots that were postmarked on Election Day but not received up to XX days later. Oh, and if the postal mailing indicator is damage or missing, it has to be accepted as if mailed on time too. 🤦♂️
Some people are really going to miss convenience, a functioning labor market, and goods being available for purchase. They’ll twist their minds until they rationalize it away.

They’ve already got their best boogiemen in line. We’re getting another special prosecutor for Trump in the never ending investigation and then there is Russia.
