EDITOR’S NOTE: I am recovering from vacation, fortunately The Hyperbole has stepped up…again!
As any creator knows there is nothing better than having the opportunity to revisit old works and possibly bring them to new audiences. Thus, it is with great joy that I use the 5 year anniversary of this seminal work to once again foist it upon you. Five years!? hard to believe seems like just yesterday we were all masking up and getting jabbed for the sake of the collective good. Anyway please enjoy Part the second.

Beautiful.
Why does she have a goatee?
I don’t get it.
You should stop doing that.

Another setback for the Peak Oil mob
BP (BP.L), opens new tab has made its largest global oil and gas discovery in 25 years in Brazil’s Santos basin, it said on Monday, in what may be a major boost for the British company’s strategic shift away from renewable energy to refocus on fossil fuels.
BP is seeking to bolster oil and gas in its portfolio to regain investor confidence and revive underperforming shares.
It said it planned to create a major new output hub at the Bumerangue discovery in Brazil, which a BP spokesperson said was probably the company’s biggest since Shah Deniz in 1999, a gas and condensate field in the Azeri part of the Caspian Sea.
Shah Deniz, with around 1 trillion cubic metres of gas and 2 billion barrels of condensate initially in place, produced 28 billion standard cubic metres of gas last year, according to BP.
The company gave no reserve estimate for the Brazilian block.
Gaia is doomed.
I am sure a Brazilian judge will say: “Hey buddy, quit doing that!”
Peak oil, end of oil, global freezing, global warming, doom, end of days blah blah blah. We have been 12 years away from the apocalypse for the last 100 years. Get on your knees and get out your wallet.
We ran out of oil in 2000, like all the doomsayers said in the 70s and 80s. At this point what does it matter? We’re all dead from tax cuts and the end of net neutrality anyway.
The Y2K bug destroyed all the oil.
I’m taking a shine to this strip.

Honest injun
In a letter to lawmakers who accused Delta of using AI to spy on customers’ personal data in order to “jack up” prices, Delta insisted that “there is no fare product Delta has ever used, is testing, or plans to use that targets customers with individualized prices based on personal data.”
Confusion arose after Delta Air Lines President Glen William Hauenstein discussed the AI pricing on a summer earnings call. Hauenstein hyped the AI pricing as working to propel revenue, confirming that about 3 percent of domestic flights were sold using the AI pricing system over the past six months and that Delta planned to expand that to 20 percent of tickets by the end of the year.
Critics demanded transparency, raising concerns that Delta’s AI pricing could lead to discriminatory pricing based on a customer’s search history or prior purchases. But Delta did not rush to clarify how its AI pricing actually works until lawmakers sent a letter probing Delta’s AI practices. Those lawmakers had just announced the Stop AI Price Gouging and Wage Fixing Act, with a press release that called out Delta among companies whose AI pricing models needed to be banned to prevent surveillance pricing that lawmakers fear will disproportionately disrupt fair pricing for the least wealthy.
Responding, Delta’s chief external affairs officer, Peter Carter, thanked lawmakers for their “thoughtful questions regarding Delta’s use of AI,” then cautioned them against making assumptions about Delta’s AI pricing.
We would never try to squeeze the last available nickel out of our customers. And besides, we haven’t perfected to process yet.
I have little doubt the airlines will try to use AI to get every last penny from us, but I don’t really want politicians to get involved.
Fuck off, commies.
Or… what every business has ever done in the history of ever.
Looks like I landed my data analysis gig for the FAA. Onto newer things I probably know nothing about…just messing, I have Grok now
congrats
Congratulations
Thanks.

I think there’s still a job opening at the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Heh, nice.
No instead ill be looking at 500 databases trying to do the same thing because there is no inefficiency in the Federal Government…
Now I know who to call when my plane is late (or early).

Thanks, OBE
I know exactly one helicopter pilot.
You can get a lot of commies in a Blackhawk.
pet donations wanted
Elmer and Gorilla are available.
It makes sense but it’s one of those things that are better left unsaid.

I was in a very odd shop today. That had Bigfoot poop and Jaws gummies.

Was it the Glibertarians.com online store?
STEVE SMITH NO LIKE POOP, HIM LIKE POOP CHUTE.
Dirty Sasquatch.
Cigar City brews a gummy shark IPA. It’s OK.
Also, there is an actual species called Gummy shark:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gummy_shark
***
This species is a slender shark with a darker grey top with white spots and a silvery-white underbelly.[4] The gummy shark gets its name from its flat, plate-like teeth which it uses to crush its shelled and non-shelled prey, giving its jaws the superficial appearance of toothlessness.

I’m really hoping I hear someone (cop, crook, or bystander) say “hey buddy, stop doing that!” As it is, here is my arrest bingo card:
Am I being detained?
I dindu nuffin!
Don’t touch me!
I wanna speak with you supervisor
Ow!
No!
You’re hurting me!
I can’t breathe!

My ID’s at home.

I think you are still too far South. I am in Panama City Beach today, playing cards.
Otherwise I would drive by and tell you to stop doing that.
I drive near him during my weekly commute. I’ll drop in Friday.
Would it be good grammar to say, “All y’all stop doing that.”

The tourniquet has saved many thousands of lives and limbs in war zones around the world, but misuse of the device is causing huge numbers of excess amputations and deaths in Ukraine, say top military surgeons.
Captain Rom A Stevens, a retired senior US medical navy officer who has served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and East Africa, estimates that of the roughly 100,000 amputations performed on Ukrainian soldiers since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, as many as 75,000 were caused by improper use of tourniquets.

It’s a worse rate than the War of Northern Aggression:
***
Although the exact number is not known, approximately 60,000 surgeries, about three quarters of all of the operations performed during the war, were amputations. Although seemingly drastic, the operation was intended to prevent deadly complications such as gangrene. Sometimes undertaken without anesthesia, and in some cases leaving the patient with painful sensations in the severed nerves, the removal of a limb was widely feared by soldiers.

“Sometimes undertaken without anesthesia, and in some cases leaving the patient with painful sensations in the severed nerves…”
Ya know. With an amputation, I predict the patient *always* has painful sensations in the severed nerves. Ya, know. The more ya know. Chopping off a nerve *hurts*. Whoddathunkit.

That’s too high.
My wife came back from her weekly volunteer day at the church thrift shop. She was sitting near two women who were doing the staffing schedule for next month. One noted that Monday, Sept. 1st was Labor Day so they wouldn’t be open. The other said “Yes, we will. Trump is cancelling Labor Day because he hates workers.” These were two college educated upper middle class women. How can TDS be so powerful as to scramble brains this badly?
Theirs came prescrambled.
college educated upper middle class women. How can TDS be so powerful as to scramble brains this badly?
Answer to the second part is in the first part.
This is what I get for reflex posting before reading the replies.
“These were two college educated upper middle class women. How can TDS be so powerful as to scramble brains this badly?”
You answer your own question.
Sometimes I wonder if the left is just punking the rest of us but then I realize they are nowhere near clever enough.
College educated doesn’t mean shit beyond that you stuck it out for four years of bullshit and were granted gold stars for paying your tuition.

“There is no understating the magnitude of both the climate crisis and the plastic crisis,” Dr. Philip Landrigan, a pediatrician and epidemiologist at Boston College, said in a statement. “They are both causing disease, death and disability today in tens of thousands of people, and these harms will become more severe in the years ahead as the planet continues to warm and plastic production continues to increase.”
Landrigan and the report’s other authors called for greater public awareness of the issue – as well as policy to prevent continued worsening of the plastic pollution crisis.
Their findings were released in the British medical journal The Lancet ahead of United Nations talks in Switzerland this week, which aim to finalize the world’s first plastic pollution treaty following previous failed attempts.
“Plastics are made from fossil fuels, contaminate food and water, are tied to many human illnesses, and impose steep costs for medical care and environmental damage,” Landrigan, the report’s lead author, said.
How many people have been helped by plastics in food processing and storage alone? None. There are no practical benefits from plastic or fossil fuels. Only costs and dangers.
Cows like that should be denied the use of all plastic and petroleum products.
NO MORE GREEN DILDOS FOR YOU!
I thought we’re putting our money on blue now?
They are going after water next. We are running out of water.
Ya’ know someone is aiming at morons when they start invoking angry gods and shivering puppies.
The other said “Yes, we will. Trump is cancelling Labor Day because he hates workers.”
That sounds like something any of us would say. Wait- she wasn’t serious was she?
Both are known progs so, yes, serious.

Excellent!
Baby soup!
Fantastic!
Now pull my finger, I’ll make some bubbles.
Nice wood.
Nice area. Decent food in Wellsboro. Also some good Amish baked goods.
That’s odd. We had an injun tribe here and a town named after them. The Tioga.
Suspiciously close to my neck of the woods. 🤨
You’re not my type. Way too old. 🤣😂
What’s that, sonny?!
I’m listening to the recent Tom Woods Show episode with Michael Malice, and Malice just said “I don’t like the glibness with which some libertarians think that everything produced by the market is good”.
Is he one of us?? I know “glibertarian” is a term that exists outside of this site, but I get paranoid every time I hear those two words in the same sentence.
