Swiss is out this afternoon. I had this problem with people from OpenDoor asking to start up an HOA. I refused, and told them to get fucked. When they refused they left my property. This was a couple months ago.
So I get this letter saying they started one anyways and I owe $450 for upkeep of the side walks. What the fuck people? There aren’t any sidewalks worth maintaining in New Jersey! I gave Swiss a call, not because I need to sue OpenDoor to get their pants off, but we’re going to do it anyways!
Dark ships
, that turned off their tracking devices as required by maritime law. Of course.
Translation: they want more subsidies.
The least reported story of the weekend is quite the scandal. It has everything, foreign entanglements, Tom Brady, ties to the federal government, and a people losing a shitload of money because they can’t grasp why fractional reserve banking is bad. A few are connecting the dots but we won’t care because of ballot harvesting.
I’m all done, just waiting on Swiss to call me back.
OT: Jay Leno has apparently been seriously burned by a car fire in his garage. TMZ but other sites have it too.
That’s not enough info, man.
His prognosis? How much of the collection was destroyed/damaged?
No, I am not going to TMZ to see if they have the answers /lazy snob
Facial burns on left side of his face. Report says his eye is OK.
I’m guessing he was leaning over a carb and it backfired, but that’s my own speculation.
Reads like real injuries, but he should be able to recover from what is written so far.
It was probably one of the steam powered cars with the pump to pressurize the kerosene fuel line. He nearly blew his face off on film with a Stanley Steamer when he did a promo for the Stanley Hotel.
That’s what happens when you try to relive your high school glory days and bang Winston’s mom in the backseat of your classic car.
She lights up one for you too in the afterglow and you conk out and drop it….
Also OT, but one of the toll-free stories there:

I was hoping Winston’s Mom wood pop up today. I saw some Krugnuttery somewhere in the news this morning. It stimulated my bowels.
I don’t want to know how Winston’s Mom wood stimulated your bowels. That is a sight I never want to see.
Its really no secret, I just gave him Pepto Bismol. Of course, I administered it rectally.

“We have detected some dark ships, meaning vessels that were of a significant size, that were passing through that area of interest,” says Jerry Javornicky, the CEO and cofounder of SpaceKnow. “They had their beacons off, meaning there was no information about their movement, and they were trying to keep their location information and general information hidden from the world,” Javornicky adds.
ALIENZ!!!!
Why do I suspect that with satellites overhead, we can identify those ships even if they don’t have their beacons on?
It’s not as though we actually have 24/7 100% global photo coverage yet. Soon maybe but I’m pretty sure satellite time has its limits.

I think it’s pretty likely we had eyes on that region 24/7. What with the war, and all. That’s a highly trafficked area, especially by various navies including the Russians.
Anyone who thinks that our government doesn’t know exactly what the hull numbers are on those ships is delusional.
Look at the size of the ships from the article. Both were “approximately 95m-130m”. Hunh.
Who has multiple ships that run 300-500′ and would have the stones (or authority) to turn off their AIS in that area right before and after the pipelines blew up?
Certainly nobody with ship names that begin with HMS
Farmers need to turn their farming to windmills and solar power production. If they think they’re losing money now they’ll be surprised when energy production costs really go up
“The revolving door of government and corporate corruption has been exposed by the FTX meltdown.”
I was only somewhat aware of this until I started to follow Russell Brand. He’s very much into pointing this out, whether it’s former generals who become consultants for defense contractors and then go on CNN telling us we need to go to war with Russia; or former Pfizer execs who work for the CDC, etc. But the response to any exposure is that we need to shut people up and stop “disinformation”. The rot runs very, very deep.
And from what I’m reading, FTX is basically just a money-laundering operation for the DNC. Imagine that. 🙄
And then people wonder why every Dem candidate outspent their opponent five- or six-to-one.
More than just money-laundering. A massive fraud operation that the Dem Party profited from. Knowingly? Who knows.
So all I have to do is declare an HOA and I can force people to pay me dues?
Yes. Let us know how it works out for you.
Until you get chalked by a rival HOA.
They’re worse than the mafia, I swear.

The fact that the mob hasn’t already been the one running HOAs is actually kind of amazing when you think about it.
Unlike the current crop of government weasels — I think the mob has enough sense to not advertise when they’re the ones running things.
(AKA — and you know they’re not… how? 😉 )
I know they’re not behind my HOA because the mob doesn’t do enforcement with passive aggressive letters and mean looks from the Karens as they walk by with their yippy Pomeranians.
Maybe they’ve upped their game?
Hey, the mob daughters and Fredos have to have something to do other than banging cocktail waitresses two at a time….
The mob might have done something about the carpenter bees back when I had an HOA.

Hi WM!
Thanks for, ahem, filling in.
How the hell does this make sense? What the fuck kinds of emissions result from shipping peaches from China?
So incredibly frustrating.
You can grow peaches in New York?
Maybe he should have tried growing herb instead.
China is “officially” a developing country. Their emissions don’t count.
I’d expect the Chinese government to enforce and report on emissions just as much as they do with worker protection. In other words, zero.
Farmers all over New York and New Jersey say they are being pushed to those limits by President Biden’s attack on energy, Gov. Hochul’s labor betrayal, foreign competition and other woes. Here, five of them describe their challenges.
I can’t figure out the connection here.
uh, close tag.
Just hit me — bonus points for going back to tariffs instead of subsidies… repeal the 16th, fund the Fed only through tariffs again!
Yeah… that would happen… 😉
And you’d think that NYC, with all its teeming millions of people, and wealth that Croesus would envy, could keep places like this open via a demand for “locally sourced” produce.
They sort of mentioned that in the article — lots of advertising by grocery chains for “locally sourced”, some laws about it… and apparently the laws have big enough loopholes that anything at least in the lower 48 is “local”. Which was doubtless intentional on the lobbyists *cough* lawmakers part.
Food could be so much better across the country. The USDA and FDA fuckery is astonishing.
Massie has been trying to get his PRIME act even considered for years. Locally produced and harvested food could happen damn near everywhere. Why we ship animals hundreds of miles to feed lots for slaughter is straight up retarded (not to mention cruel).
Locally produced and harvested food could happen damn near everywhere. Why we ship animals hundreds of miles to feed lots for slaughter is straight up retarded (not to mention cruel).
If you’re not familiar with Joel Salatin and Polyface Farms in the Shenandoah, I recommend checking him out. The FDA or USDA (can’t remember which) initially wouldn’t approve his application for an outdoor “slaughterhouse”. Joel ended up paying for tests that showed his outdoor slaughter area had significantly lower microbial contamination than the typical indoor slaughterhouse… I think by several magnitudes. Only then was it grudgingly approved.
I’d say Joel started, or at least was a founding member, of the whole permaculture movement without even realizing it. Things like moveable chicken tractors for both meat and eggs, pastured pork, etc. where the animals live good happy lives until slaughter and the meat tastes better. We try to replicate his model as much as possible on a much smaller scale. They also intentionally do not slaughter everyday so the act doesn’t become routine and, for lack of a better word, soulless. Which is interesting. There are many guys around me counting the days until deer hunting opens, but they can’t bring themselves put down livestock. It’s different for some difficult to explain reason.
Never name your calves or lambs…
‘Easter’, ‘Thanksgiving’, ‘Christmas’, and ‘Spare.’
Dad named our calf “Supper”.
Some friends when I was growing up named the cow Hamburger.
Thanks for the tip about Polyface. I live in Richmond and can probably find someplace here that distributes their products.
Yes, very familiar with him. I think his is a model that could work in a lot of places.
Robb Wolf and Diana Rodgers did a fantastic book and documentary called Sacred Cow. https://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Cow-Nick-Offerman/dp/B08PDSRSBL
In it, they discuss a carbon lifecycle study that compared a burger from White Oak Pastures (similar to Polyface) to one of the fake meat companies. Turns out the real burger from a regenerative farm is a net carbon sink. Fascinating stuff.
We try to replicate his model as much as possible on a much smaller scale.
As a city boy I’m really jealous. Still, there are a lot of sources out here for similar operations. A horse ranch nearby also keeps chickens, so I’ve been buying eggs from them. $5/dozen and truly pastured!
I understand the people who hate factory farming. I wish there was more understanding that there is a better way.
And there’s a whole network of farmers markets, and community supported agriculture. But there are also loopholes there for out of area produce, etc.
What the fuck kinds of emissions result from shipping peaches from China?
Bottom line, I saw a study that showed mass market imports from NZ on vegetables actually resulted in lower emissions per unit than locally sourced veggies in California.
Lots of small shipments vice one big container ship.
The cost of loading and unloading containers from a ship is the big cost driver, not slowly moving those containers around the world.
Which is why the Jones Act fucks over Hawaii.
… Which are then shipped out on lots of small shipments?
I don’t get why farm to warehouse, to ship, to port, to warehouse to store would be any better than skipping the ship and port.

Re: the farmers — more subsidies or get the government to back off. Part of it was NJ minimum wage complaints relative to Georgia (I assume the state, not the country). Maybe that was “make them all pay the same rate” but that would be stupid because: a) importing could just switch to foreign countries that are really outside our labor laws and b) Illegal immigration (remember the whole GA and AL ‘citizens won’t do this at what we want to pay’ waaaah-mbulance a few years back?).
I expected more about fertilizer costs — they at least mentioned diesel in passing…
And this is one of those things that I don’t claim to have the right answers (much less the big or small-L libertarian answers…), but food, energy and arms are things I think it is worth keeping domestic industries alive. That may require tariffs to go back old school (which seems better to me than direct subsidies), but something needs to keep things reasonably self-sufficient and not allow slave labor (*cough* China *cough*) markets to dominate the world. But what do I know… I don’t even know why Twitter is slow on Android or anything offhand…
Back when we had a national government that cared about such things, food production was considered strategic and closely protected. I don’t like subsidies but could we not make farming more difficult? And use tariffs to protect against foreign subsidies. Seems to be part of our elites’ disturbing pattern of attacking food production.
The older I get — the more convinced I get that most of the Progressive Era changes just introduced fatal flaws in what was a very well balanced system.
That FTX story is wild. Almost like it was done deliberately to provide a justification to regulate the crypto market.
Isn’t that amazing. The people that seemed to be deliberately profiting off of the scheme before it collapsed will be the ones that get to “regulate” and “investigate” it. So strange….
I’m not really sure what “regulate the crypto market” even means, frankly.
What regulations are we proposing here?
I could see them not being allowed to use their own crypto product as collateral for debt financing.
This wasn’t even a big US fiasco really. Looks like the product was more popular in Asia.
10% for the Big Guy – which is what FTX was probably doing already.
Regulated as a Fed currency….
Would that have made a difference in that case?
Probably not
regulations wouldn’t have stopped FTX. what they did was already illegal.
What interests me is whether this was genuinely missed by regulatory agencies, or if they all chose to look the other way. Not that I think there’s a snowball’s chance in hell that we’ll ever get an honest answer to that question. The list of family and friends this guy had connections to in the regulatory agencies is already coming to light. The more people a scandal implicates, the less likely anyone is to actually get punished. He’ll get the Ghislaine treatment. He’ll become the sole fall guy that gets a show trial while his vast network of rich and powerful co-conspirators get spared by a hand selected judge that permanently seals any information about who they are or what they did.

Turns out they went and replaced the first gold cart trail between my st and the route I take to get beer. We’ll see of they’re still there when I walk home in a bit.

“The market has failed us. We need the subsidies to be increased.”

That’s crazy talk.
I’ve mentioned before that I’m well behind in my podcast listening, so it was only a couple of months back that I listened to an episode of BBC’s Assignment first aired just before the pandemic about the housing crunch in Ireland.
The woman who produced it didn’t actually interview anybody who built houses, instead interviewing a bunch of people who would stereotypically be in the social bubble of a government-funded broadcast media journalist, including a fellow journalist who didn’t bother to find a place to live before returning from the UK; the head of the Union of Students; and a woman who makes furniture from recycled wood, and said woman’s business partner, an immigrant from someplace in Africa who has an all-woman cooperative back in her home country producing the upholstery.
Because that’s the sort of people you think of when you think everyday Irish people.
Journalists definitely have a bias toward and against certain political parties, but they also have an equally pernicious “bias by rolodex”, for lack of a better term, in which certain viewpoints remain silent simply because the journalist wouldn’t know whom to talk to to get that point of view even if they wanted it aired or knew it existed.
You’re assuming a builder would even speak to them.

“Maricopa election officials launched PAC in 2021 to stop MAGA candidates
The PAC called Pro Democracy Republicans of Arizona claims on their website that they are “fighting to keep our democratic institutions alive.”
It has been revealed that embattled Arizona’s Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer and Supervisor Chairman Bill Gates in 2021 started a political action committee to stop MAGA candidates.
On November 17, 2021, Meg Cunningham from the Kansas City Beacon tweeted that Richer, “the Maricopa County recorder, is launching a PAC to support Rs running for non-federal AZ offices who ‘acknowledge the validity of the 2020 election and condemn the events of Jan. 6, 2021, as a terrible result of the lies told about the November election.’
Richer retweeted her saying, “Thanks to a few generous donors this is now launching. Join me if you care about traditional Republican ‘stuff’ (free people, free markets, rule of law), but also don’t believe in conspiracies about the 2020 election or that Jan 6 was a tourist event.””
