Look at this stud muffin.
The weather here in Manly Time is opposite of where the above beef cake is. But I’m not in northern Montana, where a friend reported the high next week is -11. Northern open prairie gets cold as fuck in the winter, who knew?
Links, anyone?
“Loved and respected by the world.”
They forgot the “intelligent” part.
I can think of better places I’d rather be stranded.
It’s friggin’ cold there too. They can have it.
Something I can easily give up in my life.
Dino Danelli, the drummer for The Rascals, passed away at 78 yesterday.
Same here. Brrrrrr
I could never live on the prairie. The wind is never not blowing.
Yeah. Plenty of otherwise beautiful days ruined by a constant 15+ mph wind. That can get to you. I’ve read that some early settlers were literally driven insane by the wind blowing for many days straight.
Another bad hair day!!!!!
Argh!!!!
I can believe it, we have no trees surrounding our property (yet). the wind can be constant. Much worse near Enid OK.
“…and then the wind stopped and all of the buildings in town fell over!”
+1 Lillian Gish
Late in her life Gish recorded an introduction for an airing on British TV.
15 is nothing here. When the Chinooks start blowing it’s 20-30. There are years where 45 steady state happens fairly often. Seen mid 50s already this year.
But the summers rock
I was merely giving a number where it starts to get annoying. We have 20-30 sustained winds on the regular. In fact, it’s been 20-30 for 3 days now. And no trees to stop it.
Here they are a mixed blessing. The Chinooks are warm and peel off the snow.
Seems to be one or the other. 30 mph winds and 45 degrees, or -15 and dead calm.
Yeah, the one good part is that usually when it gets below -10, it’s calm, or at least no more than 10mph winds (which is still bad at that temp). But boy, the times the wind is howling and the air temp is -10 or less…that’ll hurt a person right quick.
Somebody who moved to Medicine Hat, Alberta claimed he lived there 10 months before he realized that the flags weren’t made out of sheet metal.
Pffffft.
Wednesday’s forecasted low for Edmonchukskianovich is -27° Celsius (-17° Fahrenheit). A fine fall evening, if’n you ask me.
Jeebus. I’m sure your heating bill is way down thanks to Trudeau’s forced march to renewables.
We were at -19 (‘Merican degrees, not commie Celcius) this morning. But no wind, which makes it pretty tolerable if you’re dressed for it.
That’s the thing. Wind completely changes the equation.
Yup.
It’s amazing how much nicer the world is without the wind blowing all the time.
Wednesday is -23 F for the low in Belt MT.
-20 is where even Montanans start to say it’s cold.
“Loved and respected by the world.”
Doesn’t matter. News media has completely bought into being propagandists. /blackpilled
Over time, they are going to have to keep defending this stuff.
Defend to whom?
Maybe some other people are noticing that the republican party hated Trump as much as the Democrats.

Not sure what this portends for DeSantis.
Oh, the GOPe hated him more.
“if it is content with continuing to play the role of the “Party of No.”
Umm, have the Rs really voted a lot of No? There were a couple of the big bills, but has there been that much opposition? I haven’t really paid attention.
Further thought, if there has been opposition, I wonder if it will continue once they GOP has the house. They talk tough when they’re out of power.
This. Lost in all of the nonsense over stolen elections is the most obvious and blatant form of cheating that is legalized in many, many places. It doesn’t even taken a grand conspiracy, though there’s more going on in my opinion than ballot harvesting alone.
Yeah, there’s ballot harvesting, and then there’s 75 voters registered at a parking lot or whatnot.

Just finished hour two of Avatar 2. Had to pee so bad I could taste it. Another hour to ho.
How few sentences does it take to sum up the plot? just the number, not the summary.
It is, from the reports I read before release, a ridiculously dumb movie with a cardboard thin plot and horrible dialogue. Much like the original.
So, one short sentence I’m guessing would suffice.
Heard a few references to Moby Dick in space….ie. instead of unobtanium, the evil humans are now after literal alien whale oil.
You know, some people think I’m arrogant as a Firster.
James Cameron is a guy who just made a sequel to a movie that nobody cares about anymore that needs to make over $2 billion just to break even and start turning a profit. That mans ego could fuel stars, if it could ever be harvested. Maybe that should be the plot of Avatar 6.
“Anybody can be a father or a husband. There are only five people in the world who can do what I do, and I’m going for that.”
– What he told Linda Hamilton when he asked for a divorce
Never mind the fact that the last decent movie he made was T2 back in 1991. Avatar One was unwatchable; I walked out because I couldn’t stand how insultingly on-the-nose it was with its retarded greenie message as well as those G-d forsaken blue things which are smack dab in the middle of the uncanny valley.
His job isn’t making a good movie, it’s raking in gobs and gobs of dollars.
And he is very, very good at it.
True Lies and and a horny for Jamie Lee Curtis younger me would like a word.
Dude, Trading Places…just saying.
It’s… not terrible. So far. Silly? Yes. Great graphics? Yes. Overlong? Yes. I’d say an awful lot of money was spent to make an average film. Another point, I am in a big theater and only ten people are in here.
It is so far doing pretty well financially and expected to pass $400 million by Sunday.
But this was so expensive to make that it will need to do have really long legs to even break even.
I’ve heard one reviewer basically agree with you. It’s really really dumb. You can’t think about it much. But the competition from Hollywood at this point is so weak that it’s going to make money because people are starved for escapist entertainment that is family friendly. I mean, there probably aren’t any lesbian Nabi or whatever the fuck the blue people are called.
J’naii.
K’plah!
Lol
Yes, it’s like going on a three-hour virtual ride at Universal Studios. I just cannot see how it is going to ever break even. My final judgment is that I enjoyed it – like a ride. I would never buy a copy of this or go see it again. And that is the doom of this film. It can never make the money back.
And I am very tired of lame ass villains who are just stupid and evil for no reason other than that they are humans. Also the movie brought back from the dead the evil jarhead leader from the last movie. Yes. That stupid of an idea. And he was magically saved at the end of this sequel so he could be in another sequel.
You and Critical Drinker have similar thoughts.
I think they’re call jar jar binks.

The Red State article on the RNC misses the glaringly obvious reason the RNC chair is going to keep his position. He’s bringing in money. It doesn’t matter if it’s spent intelligently or if he’s winning elections. He’s lining the right pockets. I’m sure that point isn’t lost on the writer, but it needs to be stated explicitly.
Money in politics is grossly overrated in the first place. I’m not sure if politicians actually believe having the cash is important or if they just like having it because they can spread it around to friends and cronies. I’m guessing it’s probably like 10-90 split on what matters to them.
Money’s gonna matter a lot more going forward since our elections have become a joke such that whichever party can pay the most smurfs to “harvest” the most ballots will win. All those unemployable lowlife “harvesters” have gotta pay for their pot somehow.

So 9 “journalists” were suspended from Twitter for posting the real time location of Musks plane. Now they’re calling it a massacre, and it’s got its own Wikipedia page. 🙄
If only the media had responded so quickly to one of the nation’s oldest newspapers having a critical election story banned weeks before an election (you know, when they were doing actual journalism unlike posting useless location data on Musk and his family) maybe none of this would be happening.
The hypocrisy is even more breathtaking than usual.
It’s really broken out in the open. Anyone not living in an echo chamber sees it.
And people wonder why I don’t use Wikipedia for any serious research.

Flipping through the channels a while ago, I came across a news segment about the Heavy Metals in Dark Chocolate Panic.
Oddly enough, they actually got around to mentioning that the tests done by the noble public interest advocacy group were done using California’s (infinitesimal) exposure numbers, because there isn’t even a federal number.
You’d probably have to eat a forty pound dark chocolate Easter bunny every day for ten years to get detectable cadmium or lead poisoning.

I was part of the exploratory committee of Firsters who looked at Zoom at the start of the pandemic. I normally try to avoid such bureaucratic tasks given my notoriety as a Firster. I feel as though my opinion weighs too heavily on such decision making processes, and I am really all about the Firsting. Irregardless, I was highly skeptical of it as a vessel for Firsting, but one of my long-time co-Firsters talked me into chairing the panel. We confirmed what I suspected. Zoom is not a platform suitable for Firsting and our Asian counterparts were likely using it to spy on Western Firsting techniques in the attempt to test it. It was a bad idea from the start.

Not that I’m complaining, mind you.
The story on Russians in the arctic is mostly bitching about how the US doesn’t take climate change seriously enough.
The biggest thing for me in the whole thing is how we could have thought for decades that a robust icebreaker fleet wasn’t necessary.
Well, if you listen to that article, it won’t be necessary going forward either because all the ice will be gone by 2035 (ignore asking questions as they just told us it is supposedly losing 13% of its ice each year).
I highly doubt anything the Russians are doing is fueled by genuine concern or belief in climate change/global warming, though.
We were too busy pointlessly chasing illiterate goat herders in the sandbox to worry about actual near-peer adversaries.

I generally think pranks suck, but at least that one was non-destructive. And funny.
Firsters are natural pranksters, but this isn’t a prank. A prank is something that subverts the expectation of the prankee. It’s not just about surprising someone with something or doing something stupid to annoy someone else.
All that. And I admire their commitment to the gag. They went all the way.
Yeah, that’s an absurd amount of effort.
NFL stopping the game because fans are throwing snowballs on the field.
I remember the good old days when fans threw things like batteries at players as they exited the field. The country was made of tougher stuff back then.
Minne wins.
That story highlights everything I hate about journalism, particularly sports journalism. There is a strong tendency of lefty sports journalists to speak in harsh moral tones about violent sports, most obviously football. It permeates every article written at that shithole Deadspin. It’s why you saw so many journalists pile on when – shockingly – it was shown that suffering repeated head trauma over years could impact you later in life. How dare the NFL hide this critical ijnfo from their players who would probably have been flipping burgers or stocking shelves for a living with the sport…
The progs and lefties still watch football, to some extent. But they hate watch. They’re the ones who cheer on the complete ruining of the game supposedly in the name of player safety and tell you in hushed tones how they super seriously considered stopping their support of the sport…but haven’t.
There’s a reason we pay you the big bucks. It’s not to buy mansions now. It’s to pay for your healthcare later.
I just found everything about the concussion scandal to be ridiculous. Like, anyone who had ever watched an old boxer try to talk knew that there were consequences to concussions and repetitive head trauma.
And hearing most people talk about CTE makes me cringe. People will attribute any dumb shit an athlete does to CTE. It became a very convenient scapegoat to explain why some famous athletes imploded later in life. You can’t explain what actually caused someone like Junior Seau to do what he did. I’m pretty sure plenty of players having lost their fame and their means of earning a living experience depression. They’ve found brain scarring in 20 year old female soccer players. There are always stories about how they find the scarring, little discussion of whether those people actually experienced any symptoms while alive.
And when you look at the numbers with regards to things CTE supposedly increases the risk of, like depression and suicide, there is no real elevated risk to NFL players or athletes in general.
It’s junk science that fits the preferred media narrative, allows them to go after people they already want to go after and lecture people about shit they already wanted to lecture them about.
And it allowed the NFL to create a shit ton of rules in the name of player safety that allowed them to boost scoring while not addressing anything. My favorite was when the league touted how concussions were down…after they had trended up for years immediately following the implementation of their new rules. And it couldn’t possibly have been the result of NFL players simply learning how to game the system and get cleared to play.
Same.

Darkest day in Vikings history is one of those 70’s Super Bowls or when Gary Anderson choked.
The ref didn’t even die.
Good question.
Vikes have accumulated quit a few dark days.
Not today, though!
Gary Anderson wrongly gets the blame for that game. It all lays at the feet (RIP) of Denny Green. The most prolific offense in history, and Denny Fucking Green has them take a knee to end the half and at the end to go to OT. He should have bought Gary a new car every Christmas for the rest of his life for taking the heat off him for losing that game.
It was idiotic, mean spirited, and dangerous then. It’s the same now.
I didn’t catch any stoppage but FFS they’re lobbing softballs in celebration towards the Bills.

One of the big news stories up here is how at least 50% of the cigarette trade has been captured by the “black market”. Dude, you gave up control when you let the “Nations” oversee production.

It is a mystery.
Totally unrelated… a pack is about $15 here now.

Holly shit. That is nuts. They are around $7 here…which is too enough. Glad I quit. Wish the wife would.
That’s even planning for the expected “white tax”. It costs a native on reserve $50 for a carton. I pay $80 and feel good about it. In some places it’s $175. Of course, like all shady deals it will eventually dry up. Remember the days when there was was no weed to be had?
What the fuck is that coverage. 4 guys in the back and no one near the receiver.
Not a great way to start the half.

I have Josh Allen on my fantasy squad so I am cool with a total boatrace of a game with no snow.

Chimichurri is one of my favorite condiments. I make a large batch a couple times a month and vary the recipe for some differing versions. Some are all parsley and some mix in up to 50% cilantro. Also like to play with adding red onion or shallot, and how much red pepper flakes and cumin to add, or how much lemon/red wine vinegar to olive oil. I just found out it is great added to meatballs, mucho flavor increase.
