Can I get the gift of the gun? the last two I had to buy myself were expensive.
How can you still talk about guns after the awful Graz shooting ? You Americans popularized school shooting and bear all the blame.
The kids need to be better armed to defend themselves.
Yeah, if I want to get into CO I’ll need to buy a second gun+optic. I’d rather not drop the $2k to do that.
I just bought myself a huge 16oz. OC fogger from Fox Labs, to keep in the car.
Contemplating a 9mm PDW of some kind, but there are storage and deployment considerations that make this kind of thing difficult. Also, I don’t really want a Flux Raider because of the drop safety concerns…
Then don’t drop it.
Presumably this?

Thanks New Jerseyans. 1/3 of you Dems decided to select Mikie (in a six way primary race) to run (and presumably win) as Governor in November. Now I have to watch another five months of her ads about how she going to kick Trump’s and Musk’s asses, while passing out unicorns and rainbows to everyone while cutting taxes, protecting social security, and being an all round progressive pinko. She’s in office only because she “drove out” a RINO congressman in 2018. Sometimes – at least here on the East Coast – we have to suffer a RINO in order to prevent something even worse.
Tolerating RINOs is how NJ became the solid blue state that it now is.
Pretty much where I am, Sensei. RINOs demoralize the non-lefty constituencies and pave the way for lefties to take power.
Frankly, if a Republican majority isn’t going to do anything I want, I see no reason to vote for them. Now, that doesn’t rule out voting against leftists, but I’m close to done with the whole uniparty kayfabe.
I’ve never been to NJ, but in my mind it is shitty California politics with shittier weather and more proximity to NYC.
Basically NYC without the cultural cache and it smells worse.
I live there and that’s what I’ve always described as being. It thinks it is CA, but without the beautiful scenery and weather.
The coast is beautiful and I grew up there, but the season only lasts from June to September and mid summer is hot. There are mountains and woods in the northwest, but not nearly in size or scale of CA or other places in the US.
One day soon, with global warming, NJ will be under water.
That’s a good summary.
And Newark.
You get Stockton.

Those who govern us are characterised above all by their intellectual thinness.
The speech was at its heart about ‘progressive realism’, a daft idea that Labour’s head honchos have got into their heads by way of something they call ‘foreign policy’. The essence of the concept is, more or less, cakeism. It involves aligning a hard-nosed focus on the national interest with progressive goals, the idea being that Britain can somehow (try not to laugh) lead the world to a better future by demonstrating that all of the ‘current things’ Establishment figures believe in (Net Zero, open borders, AI running the show, etc.) are not just achievable outcomes but are actually better than any other alternative. The UK will become a progressive utopia and will demonstrate to other countries how wonderful life could be if they became progressive utopias too. And this will achieve the UK’s interests, because we are interested in sunshine, rainbows and lollipops, and a world in which every country is a progressive utopia will be one of sunshine, rainbows and lollipops in abundance.
But in any case the Cabinet seems to have committed themselves to it, and Lord Hermer’s speech was about the legal aspects of the concept. In short:
British leadership to strengthen and reform the international rules-based system is both the right thing to do and the only truly realistic choice.
Progressive realism, you see: Britain will become the best-in-class at abiding by the strictures of international law. And in so doing it will ‘lead’ other countries into doing the same thing, and thereby make the world a better and safer place. Aligning progressive ideals with the national interest, you see – sounds great, doesn’t it? Get Vladimir Putin on the blower.
The snag is that there are some annoying people getting in the way of the realisation of this ambition – knuckle-dragging recalcitrants who don’t believe in the ‘international rules-based system’

They’re importing people who are antithetically opposed to the same shit they espouse.
We need a far, far better class of top men if we are going to go down the utopian fascist route.
On the global warming front (again I blame you fuckers) Bucharest had one o dem one every 100 years rainstorms (last one was in 2019) and I can say damn… that was some rain…
It has rained every weekend here (save one) since November. This Saturday it’s scheduled to rain again.
I can’t believe it’s not raining now. Seems like we’ve been under a “flood watch” for weeks.
It is supposed to be around 72* around here all month.
Damn Globo Warning.
On the global hipster nonsense front (and here I absolutely blame America you spread this shit), we had a gay pride parade here in Bucharest. The talent (aka the cis-tits on display) was weak, but there were plenty of Palestinian flags cause off course there were.
I thought we killed USAID funding for that garbage.
well the rot has started. It will find a way.
“Pride parades” have been infested with leftism for a couple decades here. Therefore it is another required stop on the Democrat circuit.
I’m not taking the blame for your rain. But, yeah, this one is on us.
Have you tried spray painting them?
The big college down the road had selected a new president. He came from a flagship State U. up north, had the right credentials, and was the unanimous choice of the search committee and the university’s Board of Trustees. All that was needed was the rubber-stamp approval of the state college Board of Governors.
Then people took a deeper look at the guy.
Gators aren’t known for being particularly agile, but they managed to dodge a bullet here.
Better still it appears he didn’t give enough notice to his prior institution of higher “learning” to be guaranteed a return to a tenured full professorship.
The Gator board was all in however.
Ono, that was almost quite unfortunate.
Yoko joke about it, but it can happen anywhere.

The problem here is not the illegal immigration or the crime committed by the illegal immigrants. The problem is their lack of “status”.

How a shoplifting arrest in upstate NY summoned ICE and separated a family
https://gothamist.com/news/how-a-shoplifting-arrest-in-upstate-ny-summoned-ice-and-separated-a-family
What is the line? Don’t break the law asshole?
I mean, you’re here illegally. Watch your P’s and Q’s. It’s not complicated shit. They probably could have afforded the shit they’re buying if they’re anything like the illegals who steal down here.
This is the dividing line on illegal immigrants. Behave lawfully while you are here and I’m glad to look the other way. Steal some stuff and you can go back where you came from.
The fire and brimstone speech they gave Mrs. Holiness and I about keeping our noses clean while her application for a green card was being processed was pretty impressive.
And we were married and going through the process legally.
If Mrs. Holiness (or even I) had been convicted of shop lifting while that application was being processed, I doubt she would have been given her green card.
Chafed:
I’d add, “Don’t get on the govt dole” as well as “Don’t commit crimes” to the conditions where I’d look the other way.
I’m over it. I don’t care if you keep your nose clean. If you’re here illegally, do the right thing and go home.
If you’re not a blight on our society, we won’t punish you when we find you, but you will be deported in accordance with your immigration status. If you’ve been up to no good, you will be charges with immigration crimes, serve your punishment, and then be deported.
OMG, someplace that actually does qualify as Upstate New York.
Just curious Ted, where do you draw the dividing line?
Anything north of Westchester County, right?
At the very least, I-84.
Albany TV news basically covers almost nothing south of the 518, although we’re also largely ignored by the NYC TV stations. Most of the cable systems in Ulster County had the NYC channels but not necessarily the Albany channels.
So, we’re all talking the same general area.
I know opinion varies, I’ve changed my mind on where to draw the line a time or two.
When I was in college, there was an Upstate NY Usenet group. It was founded by people from Western NY who didn’t fit in on the Great Lakes group, but considered themselves not Upstaters. Western NY is a thing.
Isn’t the soda/pop line somewhere around Rochester?
I think so.
People Rochester and west talk funny.
So… they broke another law and are surprised there’s consequences?

One of my favourite facts came up in conversation last night. First class men were more likely to die on the Titanic than third class women or children
https://x.com/edwest/status/1932738253733462423
The men forced women to get on those lifeboats because they assumed they were too weak and delicate to handle treading water in the freezing Atlantic waters for a few hours, so really, it’s yet another instance of men oppressing women.
The insurance company (and broker, of course) is always your best friend until you put in the claim.
AerCap can recover over $1 bln, UK court rules in case over jets ‘lost’ in Russia
That meant the lessors could recover from their “war risks insurers”, rather than under a broader all risks clause, as the cause of the loss was “an act or order of the Russian government”, Butcher said.
The fact that this litigated tells you all you need to know.

Daily Ray of Sunshine
In the previous thread someone was asking about wraps for a car. I had the roof wrapped on my car over 5 years ago and it still looks great. My car was struck by a UFO while driving to work one day. The object struck about two inches back from where the windshield meets the roof line and left a gouge about 3 inches long and 1/4 wide down to bare metal. It soon began to rust. I attempted to fix it with touch up paint where I was successfull in making it look 10x worse. I blame the white platinum tri-coat metal flake paint which is damn near impossible to match with a touch-up paint kit. I took the car to 3 different body shops for estimates, the cheapest which was $1400. They all told me that the entire roof would need to be repainted. Screw that. This led me to a place that does auto wraps and I was quoted a price of $285 to have the roof wrapped in 3M gloss black vinyl. The car looks better with the wrap.
Thanks.
I imagine they treated the rust so it’s not eating the metal behind the wrap?
I almost went with a wrap when I got my truck repainted, but I didn’t want to have to redo it every few years.
“… My car was struck by a UFO while driving to work one day. ”
PK would apologize but he passed on. I was just in the passenger seat, I apologize on his behalf. We had many, many drink specials that day.
I’ll bet the giant Glibs logo looks great.
“ I attempted to fix it with touch up paint where I was successfull in making it look 10x worse.”
I see we have had the same experience on that front.

If David Hogg ruined you as a leader, you were never a leader.
Imagine being a grown man intimidated by David fucking Hogg.
Dude is fucking choking up. He’s obviously the right guy to lead the Dems into the future. Keep him around!
The living embodiment of why Dems lost young men.
Dude was the OG of fake Nazi salutes
He ran the MN GOP out of business. I’m glad he’s not doing well for the national Dems.
Now Trump has done it. He’s forced the Boy Mayor of Minneapolis to take responsibility for police reform himself!
After the Floyd Fiasco, the Biden DOJ came in and found systemic racism all through the cop shops in Mpls. They came up with a consent decree and tried to force it through the courts during the last days of Biden’s administration. It failed to get judicial approval though.
It is interesting that the City of Minnepolis which has been run by uber proggies for decades needs the Feds to “force” them to do more progressive stuff. You’d think that they would be able to reform the cops any which way they wanted.
It’s only important to reform your police force if it angers Trump. Otherwise, it’s fine to let the shit show continue.
To be fair, Mayor Frey does need to move on.
If Frey was a normal man, he would have gone full MAGA and started taking scalps after being forced to do a walk of shame by protesters after he said Defund the Police was stupid.
Also, if Frey were an adult he would have worn adult clothes when speaking to the crowd.
Consent decrees can bypass democratic processes. They get what they want but can shift blame.
Well, good, then. Sounds like there’s no reason for the feds to be involved, then.
TOK, saw you had not been able to complete your colonoscopy.
Even with the extra dose you took for shits and giggles?
The first attempt went all the way? Or were they able to ascertain it wouldn’t work beforehand?
Anyways sorry to hear that, no fun at all.
The sequence was this: 4pm, 2 Dulcolax; 6pm, Miralax; 9pm, 2 Dulcolax; 7am, Miralax.
It didn’t do much until 3am, that was pretty bad. Then again at 9:00am, also pretty bad. But it never became “clear” like they wanted. They put me under, tried the scope, and realized they weren’t able to see anything. I actually liked being put under, that was quick and I remember nothing.

I’ve learned the right lessons from past and current ‘protestors’ blocking traffic, which is don’t stop. Make them move.
Please post your video.
No dashcam.
If Spud posts a story about someone making road pizza out of protestors in the Boise/Nampa area, might be me.
To be honest, I truly hope that never happens. If it does, that means that there are more retards around here than I think there are.
All right, well. I was forced to upgrade my Win10 to the latest version, which I haven’t done in years because Windows breaks my shit. However, *I* broke my shit and thus, I was hoisted on my own petard. (Yes, yes, the evidence I was hoisted on a petard is out there driving and working and earning money and being young adults.)
Right now I’m scheduling backups for Macrium and setting restore points, which I also failed to do. I would be living in my little enclosed garden if I hadn’t decided to delete all the non-Roman fonts FROM THE REGISTRY. Look, I have never had a registry accident before. What could a few missing fonts possibly do??? A lot. The answer is, a lot.
I’m probably going to have to figure out how to turn off Windows nagging me to upgrade to 11. *sigh*
I feel your pain. A year or so ago, something was updated on my Win10 box and now anytime it boots (or comes out of deep sleep) it hangs with an error about not being able to find a TPM device. No shit, my laptop is old and doesn’t have a TPM chip.
I’ve been living with it because it is a dual boot machine and I normally boot into linux which isn’t constantly rebooting. Now that I’m retired and have extra time, I was foolish enough to contact Dell support for help in figuring out what is going on.
Ugh. I got lectured by a guy who used works like “descripted” (meant encrypted) and “reeving” (receiving I think) because I wouldn’t encrypt my entire hard drive with bitlocker (it is already installed!!! narrator: not on old Dells).
I too am thinking of doing a factory restore to see if that brings back my laptop.
The last PC laptop I liked was the Sony Vaio. Last apple laptop was the 17″ macbook pro.
I also have a tablet with a bad factory image on it, so when I did a factory restore on it, I basically bricked it. I’m going to have to find a way to side load a new image on it.
I hate having too much time on my hands. Too many bullshit things like this that I used to be able to ignore.
Something I learned recently – it is apparently possible to use the port the TPM chip connects to to access a fully functional ISA bus.

Some of you seem a bit tense because of the outage yesterday.

When I tried to access the site and got the database error message, I just assumed that the last decrepit remains of the Internet had finally toppled over due to the repeal of Net Neutrality all those years ago.
When the site was down, I considered switching over to being a crack addict.
At least when their dealer gets arrested and taken away, there are plenty of other dealers out there to provide me with my fix.
When the site was down yesterday, I had to try to get my fix by digging into Powerline and Instapundit. Uffda.
Finally got myself some culture and toured the gardens of the Caserta Palace today. (I’ll do indoors another time). Lots of pics, should make a good article – soon.
So this hit my news feed. What is interesting is that nobody is talking about what country the vast majority of these foreigners are from.

My in-laws had a lot of fun blaming me for eating too much rice. Despite the fact that I barely ate any. I don’t hate rice, but I also don’t love it like they do. I had a niece who loved just eating plain white rice and that is it. To her, it was the best thing in the world.
Your niece is sick and needs help.

One of my favorite long form youtube channels.
I’m ethnically half Japanese, and I actually like brown rice better. What I’ve picked up on is that I’m maybe one of twelve people on Earth who feel this way, and everyone else can barely choke the stuff down. My Dad attempted to eat brown rice on the advice of his doctor to get more fiber and whole grains, but the best he could ever do was mixing some brown rice into his white rice.
Akira:
I’m full round eyes, but I prefer brown rice to white (and enjoy wild rice as well). I’m also apparently one of the few guys in the world who likes sweet potatoes as well.
Who are you talking to who doesn’t?
Akira,
Mrs. Holiness will switch over to brown rice on her occasional health kicks. I don’t hate it.
I am just much more of a bread guy. My Japanese family was appalled by my desire for just bread and cheese. Not some crappy cheese sandwich, but good cheese with hunks of good bread.
Guess what you can’t find in Japan? Good cheese and good bread. (OK, you can find it if you really, really look).
Oh sweet potatoes are da bomb. I never personally cared for the whole “marshmallows and brown sugar” treatment that they usually get, but I put them in a lot of stews and occasionally eat one baked. Good stuff.
There are all kinds of methods that YouTube food scientists do to make actual crispy sweet potato fries (since they don’t lend themselves to getting crispy) but I haven’t gotten around to trying them yet.
All they really need is butter.
Darnit. Now I have a sad because they’re another carby food I’m not allowed.
one of the few guys in the world who likes sweet potatoes as well.
Wut?? People don’t like sweet potatoes? Let’s talk in the fall, it’s looking like a bumper crop this year, and as much as we like sweet potatoes, we just finished eating last year’s crop.
I eat sweet potatoes with bacon and eggs (and New Mex red sauce) every morning. I dice them and roast them until they start to get a little bit of char.
