I’m going on vacation this week. So I am now writing this while waiting on 15 eggs to boil. Packing seed oil free snacks is how I plan to avoid a wicked deuce when I arrive home and finally eat a meal not made with shelf stable ingredients.
I might have fallen into serious paranoia, but my power clean is higher now than I was able to do in high school. Its freaking awesome.

“Finally Mexico gets it. We wanted something resembling accountability, we always did. That’s all this is about.
Meanwhile, Mexico City decides to celebrate corruption, and degeneracy. What will be gained from allowing a pride march in the middle of the city? The sad part its not just Mexico, its all of Latin America suffering under the weight of intolerance for their own Christian roots. And that’s the memo.”

Have a great vacation!

The good news, interview tomorrow for the KY job.
The bad news, and this is a not so subtle brag, this place will have a real struggle when I leave.
No we won’t.
Zing!
Bravo, Ted’s.
Probably gonna be me with this hubris after I leave here and Kentucky doesn’t pan out.
Good luck!
And fuck them!
In all seriousness, good luck with the job interview.
There is no greater satisfaction than giving your 2 week notice to the dunderheads that have been making your life miserable. It is especially good if they start to scramble to convince you to change your mind.
Can concur.
On the other hand, when you give notice and they just shrug, you have to wait until things fall to shit.
I had one place that I left where the system I had built for them just kept plodding ahead. They couldn’t add new features, but they didn’t have a catastrophic disaster. It made me kind of sad.
You should have made a buggier system, that would have shown them.
😛
I have experienced this. I come back years later. Same process is in place, no changes or updates. Just plodding along. A testament to enduring process improvement? Or to the laziness of business owners?
I hope you have the correct social lubrication to land the KY job.
That was a pretty slick comment.

“Allowing additional bank consolidation would be a dereliction of your responsibilities, hurting American consumers and small businesses, betraying President Biden’s commitment to promoting competition in the economy, and threatening the stability of the financial system and the economy,” Warren wrote.
Warren’s rebuke revealed a major new rift with top Biden administration officials over economic policy, in what will likely be just the beginning of a push by her to curtail mergers involving large banks.
——-
“We certainly don’t want overconcentration and we’re pro-competition, but that doesn’t mean no” mergers, Yellen said in a Wall Street Journal interview published Friday. “We have more banks, relatively speaking, in the United States than almost any country of which I’m aware.”
In Warren’s view, “This would represent exactly the wrong approach.”
What we really need is more unenforced regulation.
“We have more banks, relatively speaking, in the United States than almost any country of which I’m aware.”
Good? Wish these people would all learn to leave everyone alone.
Warren is completely full of shit. She’d happily see consolidation as a net benefit while she “protested” it.
No they do enforce the regulation.
The regulation is aimed a prior crises and almost never to the current issue.
Everybody’s DEI plans and climate change remediation was, however, perfectly in place.
Special K must be thinking about running again? That is what I think after seeing her take on abortions.

Any Glibs know anything about water softeners? I have the absolute worst well water, it’s brown and very rusty. I have a filter and a big Kinetico softener, which usually work, but this week the water tastes metallic even after I changed the filter and ran the softener cycle 6 or 8 times. Once I had this problem and the dealer replaced the resin beads to the tune of about $1k. Today I found there are softener cleaners that you just put into your tank. Anyone know if those cleaners work?
I’ve done it.
We have city water, so not that bad, our system sat for two years and water came out rust colored when I finally started it up again. Works fine now after just running the softener cycle. I cleaned with plain bleach, but have also used the bottles of commercial cleaner with no noticable impact, but I wasn’t having a specific problem, just trying to maintain.
When was the resin replacement? Well water, even with a filter, plays hell with the resin.
Maybe 3 or 4 years ago.
Not long enough. I would try the cleaner first and get a nice RO for drinking water.
I found a nice rust remover one, but the manufacturer said they don’t recommend using it if you use rust removing salt, which I do. Wonder why not?
Probably a toxic chemical reaction.
Too much of the rust removing chemicals?
Shoot them an email. Maybe they have another option.
Here’s a good video I saved awhile back regarding replacing the resin, but I seriously doubt it’s time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y65tFikOP0
I emailed them, they just said wait until the salt levels are low before treating and then switch to plain salt.
A thousand bucks seems ridiculous. Can’t you just buy the resin beads and replace them yourself?
You could. But it’s probably better to try $18 cleaner first.
Get your water tested by a lab. I bet it’s slightly acidic.
(Testing your well water regularly isn’t a bad idea period. ~$100 to make sure it’s not contaminated from fertilizer runoff or fecal bacteria plume).
I have similarly metallic tasting water. The solution is bottled water. Or treatment to adjust the pH. Which hardens the water and requires a softener to adjust that…
Brownish water is probably from clay particles which is also giving it a metallic taste.
Thanks for clearing that up
Jeffrey Epstein was left alone in his jail cell with a surplus of bed linens the night he killed himself. Nearly all the surveillance cameras on his unit didn’t record. One worker was on duty for 24 hours straight. And, despite his high profile and a suicide attempt two weeks earlier, he wasn’t checked on regularly as required.
The Justice Department’s watchdog said Tuesday that a “combination of negligence, misconduct and outright job performance failures” by the federal Bureau of Prisons and workers at the New York City jail enabled the wealthy financier to take his own life in August 2019, finding no evidence of foul play.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz blamed numerous factors for Epstein’s death, including the jail’s failure to assign him a cellmate and overworked guards who lied on logs after failing to make regular checks. Had the guards done so, Horowitz said, they would’ve found Epstein had excess linens, which he used in his suicide.
We all make mistakes now and then.
You see people failing at their jobs, I see a father’s love.
Not passive enough.
“Mistakes were made”.
“The victim was strangled by excess sheets and transported to the morgue for medical treatment.”
It was a perfect symphony of errors. Definitely not orchestrated.
Like a poorly written movie that requires specific things to take place at specific moments in time for a specific plot to occur. Yep, totally all just happenstance.

My reading is SCOTUS said state legislatures are not immune from the state judiciary reviewing their work.
So even though the constitution gives that authority to the legislatures, and not the courts, the courts can usurp that authority for themselves and substitute their judgment at will. Because reasons.
Sure, seems legit.
That was the real problem with what the NCSC did – they put their own map in place. Make the legislature redraw it, even multiple times; but you are not a supra-legislature.
This is correct.
No they do enforce the regulation.
The story on SVB seemed to be that it was being run more like a private equity fund than a bank. I defer to your actual expertise.
I’m not aware of any actual rule breaking. Material deficiencies were identified as well, but you are permitted to both find and remedy those.
I’m not regulated by the Fed so I don’t know what the reporting procedure on the above.
I’ve got a different set of federal and state financial regulators.
Arms for the poor
The Biden administration announced Tuesday that it is sending up to $500 million in military aid to Ukraine, including more than 50 heavily armored vehicles and an infusion of missiles for air defense systems, as Ukrainian and Western leaders try to sort out the impact of the brief weekend insurrection in Russia.
The aid is aimed at bolstering Ukraine’s counteroffensive, which has been moving slowly in its early stages.
It’s the 41st time since the Russian invasion into Ukraine in February 2022 that the U.S. has provided military weapons and equipment through presidential drawdown authority. The program allows the Pentagon to quickly take items from its own stocks and deliver them to Ukraine.
We wouldn’t want the flickering beacon of democracy to run out of ammo.

Should have known.
Uncle Harry had some good advice.
My thought…if you are at the resort for a week, that is 3 per day, which is totally doable.
Drinking brandy and beer “throughout the morning” as a prelude to a 21-cocktail binge probably isn’t helpful.
You don’t have to drink them all in the same day.
Jeez no. Five a day paced over vacation would work without death. I still wouldn’t do that. I like to enjoy other things on vacation besides alcohol.

One hectare equals 2.47 acres. As a forester I read papers which are typically in metric, unless you find some old ones from the US. The nice thing is that if you remember one inch is about 2.5 centimeters as well, you can deal with length and area pretty easily.

The White House on Monday divvied up $42 billion among the nation’s 50 states and U.S. territories to make access to high-speed broadband universal by 2030, as it launched a new publicity campaign for President Joe Biden’s economic policies.
The funding under the Broadband Equity Access and Deployment Program was authorized by the $1 trillion 2021 infrastructure law Biden championed. The spending will be based on a newly released Federal Communications Commission coverage map that details gaps in access.
Thanks, Uncle Santa!
The local proggie rag was just gloating about the “windfall” of $651,839,368.20 that Uncle Sugar “gave” to us.
Interesting that they mentioned “wired broadband” in their goals. I wonder if that is to keep Elon and his dirty Starlink from getting any of that business?
I also think that extra twenty cents is what will put us over the top. Finally the govt fully funds an initiative!
Good. Second best to no handouts period, is no handouts to Starlink dipshittery or other bandaids.
Last time when it was tried, it was the most shitty program ever. Something like $150,000 per person per year for service. Just pay a private supplier to do it!
According to the article, this will cover 8.5 million “locations”. Not sure what counts as a location. But by my calculation they could pay full cost for over 3 years on Starlink for that amount of money, and that assumes Starlink wouldn’t give a discount.
