That’s all I got for today I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
Meh… I don’t think the Supremes would stand by while he dealt with Congress in such a manner, but it is a nice thought, Mr. Trump.
Morning all… morning Banjos.
I see what you did there…
Move the capital back to Philadelphia, it would serve both Philadelphia and congress right.
Make them all have to do the Rocky run every morning to go to work… would help take care of the “too old to be in Congress” problem mentioned below as well…
We already have more than our share of criminal scum.
“Top DOJ lawyer warns feds could face criminal civil rights charges for weaponization”
Forget the weaponization. Get them for the attempted coup. They really had an insurrection coup going, unlike that fake shit about J6.
It depends on what they can get to stick. Conspiracy is hard to prove, from what I’m hearing.
Wasn’t there rumblings when “his” report came out that he didn’t know most of what was in it and the staff actually wrote it?
We either need full on age caps (“Go enjoy retirement already!”) or at least cognitive / memory tests for all government roles above a certain age bracket. I’m as touchy about ageism as anyone (being in Tech, where >35 means you’re aging out after all…), but there are way too many desperately clinging to power (out of lust or just not wanting to be prosecuted probably) for the country to function. Outliers in the past have become the norm in our present… way past time for new blood.
“Wasn’t there rumblings when “his” report came out that he didn’t know most of what was in it and the staff actually wrote it?”
I am certain he was pricked – like Biden was – because he was mentally gone already, and someone else could then commit all the shenanigans and lay blame on either of them.
Da Fuq? I get that the youngins are full of drive, but generally dumber than a box of rocks and couldn’t troubleshoot or bugfix their way out of a wet paper bag. And there’s much lament that they can’t replace the skills and experience of the ossified old’uns because none of the young’uns wants to learn enough of the core systems to be able to build a replacement.
It fits with the lie about how everything is new and amazing in the latest generation of tech. When in reality, all the tech companies do is repackage old ideas with new buzz. That is the business, and the aging out is that we understand that (and thus need to get pushed out to pasture).
Didn’t say I agree with it — but you know full well that’s the industry hiring practices (older engineers expect benefits, don’t want to work 80+ hours at a startup and don’t have all the current buzzword bingo cards typically).
Company wants cheaper workers, more at 11.
Build a replacement?
Nah. They’re doing it Agile. I’m sure they’ll get the bugs worked out before the customers leave.
🙄
They couldn’t scrum their way into a good idea if they tried.
When he testified before Congress on it, he certainly gave the impression that he was doddering and decrepit. Now, maybe that was just an act for Congress, dunno.
That story reminded me of a person who runs into rehab before the cops can catch up to them.
I turn 56 on Friday so it worries me a bit.
That’s okay, we’re overdue for another war with Mexico anyway.
an undocumented war?
Couldn’t we just give them back California and call it a day?
No, we’re not supposed to lose wars with mexico, give them all the anti-american californians and the illegal border crossers, but keep the land.
Maybe in return they can stop sending millions of military-aged males north.
“Judge Cornelia Pillard, an Obama appointee, wrote in a dissent that the courts “cannot long endure if disappointed litigants defy court orders with impunity rather than legally challenge them.”
“Chief Judge Boasberg faced immense pressure to make a quick decision in a rapidly evolving, high stakes situation,” she wrote. “He performed that task calmly and with an even hand, bringing to bear his skill and wisdom as an experienced jurist.””
There is one in every crowd.
How dare you defy an illegal court order before it has been certified as illegal by the Supremes!
Now do Biden and student loans.
“Chief Judge Boasberg faced immense pressure to make a quick decision in a rapidly evolving, high stakes situation,” she wrote. “He performed that task calmly and with an even hand, bringing to bear his skill and wisdom as an experienced jurist.””
Which, of course, has nothing to do with the legality of the order or the administration’s interpretation of it.
Like Action Jackson, it ain’t the law that matters.
Hardly surprising — even a non-commie, non-cartel puppet President of Mexico would be unlikely to welcome US forces crossing the border. I just don’t trust their current administration to make it unnecessary either…. but we shall see what we shall see. Keep the pressure on self-deporting (to cut down money flowing back “home”), keep the border more locked down to cut down trafficking and maybe drug imports… see if we can cut a leg out from the cartel’s table of operations and make it a moot point.
Drug imports will cease, when there is no demand on this side of the border.
Or if we rebuild our domestic industries… Make Walter White Great Again!
Make America Green by planting forests of coca trees in the Rockies?
Or when there’s no large profit margins due to there being a regular market instead of just an underground one.
I mean, they’ll be tried in DC. Even if charged, the acquittal is a mere formality.
Who decides where it is tried?
The DOJ can bring charges where the crime occurred. Now, with allegations of a wide ranging conspiracy, they will have their pick of districts. I think, for example, the raid at Mar a Lago means they could bring Russiangate charges in Florida.
The trial is held in the jurisdiction where the crime was committed, so for most of these that would be the US District Court for the District of Columbia. So, the jury would be heavily weighted with federal employees, federal contractors (often former feds themselves), and DC’s urban poor.
I believe a conspiracy can be tried in any jurisdiction where acts in furtherance of the conspiracy occurred.
But I am not a federal criminal lawyer (technically, I am not a lawyer at all any more), so . . . .
“Appeals Court Rips Obama-Appointed Judge’s Legal Abuse Against Trump Admin”
As if this will stop them. These people are busy saving our democracy, you fools!
And by democracy I mean the criminal enterprise by Obama that weaponized our unelected and unaccountable government bureaucracy that sided with democrats to sell the country out to the globalist marxist agenda.
Hmm, appoint an investigator who is respected across the aisle, but who is suffering a serious cognitive decline, stack his staff with partisan hacks you can count on to write the report with as much bias as possible, and the best you can manage is to insert a few barbed comments basically saying “Although we found no wrongdoing, that doesn’t conclusively prove there was no wrongdoing.”
It will be interesting to see how motivated CA voters are to fulfill the Dem power-broker wet dreams.
Is it even possible to squeeze more blue blood out of a stone?
Only with Fracking, and that’s been banned in Blue states.
I look forward to the district with most of the Northern California interior and Oakland or whatnot.
Like Massachusetts, I suppose the dancing monkeys must perform… California already was keeping the mail in counting going until they flipped most of the seats… they could have just gone for all without the overt redistricting.
Wonder if Tom McClintock will move to Arizona or something…
It will be funny if they find they can’t even push out one or two Republicans let alone all of them.
What would be even funnier is if their efforts resulted in a net increase in Republicans.
Fuck California.
“Several sources told NBC News that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was temporarily going to be leading the IRS.”
At least it isn’t another job for Rubio.
I’ll celebrate when there are real treatments and real results… this is what.. the 8th or 9th “breakthrough” just in my memory? And they always seem to be walked back or silently disappear… so keep sciencing researchers — but I’m not holding my breath.
a new factor that could contribute
If the news isn’t pushing doom, it’s pushing hope. Anything that gets your attention.
Dementia is caused by dozens of different issues. So it all depends on whether your particular brand of Alzheimer’s/Dementia is diagnosed and treated correctly.
A combination of environmental and genetic factors certainly but if you’ve made it to diagnosis the treatments don’t do much good.
The UK is going for internet censorship in a big way.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/aug/09/uk-online-safety-act-internet-censorship-world-following-suit
So is Australia.
I’m sure I’m not the only one noticing that all of these laws (and the payment processors getting fidgety about what ‘damages their brand’) all happened at once. (There is a US version of this bill in the works.. and several states have suddenly passed internet ID “for the children”)… my assumption is now we know what they decided to do to regroup after November lost their “pressure the internet from the intelligence agencies” option in the US. Or Vance really cheesed them off so they decided to show him what’s what…
Bleah.
Oh Hades, Drake… you made me click through to a f’ing Taylor Lorenz article… blech.
It will be all right.
Have some cake
That’s worse than a Rickroll.
Is it really a Rickroll if you tell us you’re linking to the song? My understanding is that the term implies deception.
I’m mean and cruel, but not THAT mean and cruel.
Assumes facts not in evidence….
Maybe some variety just to play with the format.
When the peasants won’t just shut the fuck up and let their betters decide their fate….
Not clicking a Guardian link but I wonder if they are against it or enthusiastically supporting it.
That all depends on who/whom.
Yep.
With the situation in Britain and the EU slowly going into the ditch they need measures that’ll let them intimidate, financially control, and jail an unruly populace when needed but it’s for the children you know. Too many idiots are suckers for that justification.
“While preventing kids from allegedly harmful content online sounds like a great idea, these laws set the stage for authoritarian censorship, violate young people’s core civil liberties, forcibly expose users to significant privacy risks and utterly fail at their goal of “protecting kids”.
Many people mistakenly believe that only children will have to verify their identities online under such laws, but that is false. In order to determine who is a child, all users, no matter who they are, will be forced to turn over vast troves of valuable biometric data and for ever link their offline identity to their online behaviour. The data collected could then be weaponised by the government or bad actors, and put internet users at significantly higher risk of crimes such as identity theft and fraud.”
Crazy lady is right.
“”I’ve had it with white people that triple Trumped, that have the nerve and the audacity to walk into a Mexican restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, an Indian restaurant, [or] go to a gay hairdresser.
I don’t think you should be able to enjoy anything but Cracker Barrel.
If you want to triple Trump. If you want to brow beat DEI, if you want to brow beat gay people, you want to brow beat black people as you have been doing for hundreds of years, and you want to browbeat this generation of immigrants that come over here and open up businesses and earnestly pay their taxes…
If you want to demonize them and call them rapists and felons and all this shit, [you are doing so] when the felon is the teeny-weeny, mushroom-cock, piece-of-shit ‘cankles McTaco tits’ at the top of the ticket.””
https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2025/08/10/actress-jennifer-welch-says-ban-trump-voters-from-mexican-chinese-restaurants-get-your-fat-asses-over-to-cracker-barrel/
She seems nice.
What a racist ass to assume that these restaurant operators are all here illegally.
Or that black or brown restaurant owners are all pro-Team Woke.
I know of a Mexican restaurant near me whose owner is a Mexican immigrant. She is either a citizen or a permanent resident. Her husband is whitebread American. I know both are Republicans. The restaurant often hosts local Republican events.
In general people from south/central America that own businesses that are not mobile will be residents or US citizens, and thus legal immigrants. These sorts of businesses have to deal with government, and even in blue states, that becomes problematic without residency and citizenship to navigate that miasma. The staff of these enterprises might be illegals however, even if the owners in general will not be. And business owners will be republicans. Nothing pisses you off more than being a small business dealing with government. There is a reason that it is the big monopolistic companies run by billionaires that love big government (they use that to keep competition out).
Who?
Oh, Bravo star you say. Sorry, I don’t watch the Karen channel.
I thought is was the gay channel?
Bravo channel? I don’t even see them in the TV ratings. I am going to have to look for their rank now. Any bets? Not even top 50? 100?
the gay channel
So the old queens can watch and say “can you believe that bitch”?
Audience share of 432,000. Ranked at #22, but these rankings do not include a number of OTA channels, including MeTV, which is about to pass CNN (MeTV stubbornly refuses to become a “network” channel. Good for them.)
https://nationalmediaspots.com/stats-us-cable-broadcast-tv-network-rankings/
Ha! MeTV passed CNN.
https://ustvdb.com/networks/metv/
CNN is 523,000 share. MeTV is still around 600K, even after the quarantine bump went away.
CNN and MeTV are direct competitors. Both channels air nothing but repeats.
Who?
And Cracker Barrel? Come one, that’s not even a good roast. You’ve got to go Golden Corral/Old Country Buffet to really aim at the MAGA voters you dumb bint. And what about my Polish delis, German restaurants, Irish restaurants, Italian restaurants, Hungarian restaurants, and the like?

Besides Italian, all those are very rare or non-existent in LA.

“the teeny-weeny, mushroom-cock, piece-of-shit ‘cankles McTaco tits’ at the top of the ticket”
There’s a fine line between a good stream of consciousness insult and insanity and I think she’s gone over it.
Yeah, “cankles” kinda crossed the streams.
I hear all these people refer to Cracker Barrell (and frequently Walmart) customers as if it’s only white people that eat/shop at those establishments. Both the Cracker Barrell and Walmart by me are probably over represented by black consumers compared to the general population around here. You can tell the ignorance of the writer by such statements.
If you want Waffle House food but don’t want to risk a brawl Cracker Barrel is solid.
The funny part is that minorities voting for Trump this time was what helped him win big.
“A pair of Texas friends died less than three months apart after ingesting pills laced with a dangerous new synthetic opioid, and now their mothers are begging US officials to sound the alarm on the little-known drug up to 43 times more lethal than fentanyl.
The young men both died this year after swallowing different pills secretly tainted with the deadly, often Narcan-resistant opioids known as nitazenes, which have begun seeping into the US at an alarming rate.
Lucci Reyes-McCallister, 22, died January 26 near Houston, Texas, after taking a pill labeled as Xanax that was actually laced with N-Pyrrolidino Protonitazene, an emerging form of nitazene.”
https://nypost.com/2025/08/11/us-news/little-known-synthetic-opioid-nitazene-is-up-to-43-times-more-deadly-than-fentanyl-resistant-to-narcan-and-killing-young-americans/
What could possibly solve this problem?
… times more lethal than …
Is such a stupid formulation. If it kills you, it kills you. The fact that it takes a smaller amount of thing x to kill you than thing y, especially when in both cases the amount is a fraction of a gram, does not make x scarier than, worse than, or magically more in need of restriction than y. Every drug, hell every substance of whatever kind, has a lethal dosage. That is a reason for caution and attention to detail, not another utterly ineffective, expensive law.
labeled as Xanax
Uh huh, but obviously not actually something prescribed and filled at a pharmacy.
Hate to sound like I don’t care, but if you want to gamble with drugs, sometimes you will lose.
It’s all so pointless. Every day I see multiple “raise the alarm about X” or “raise consciousness of Y” things. It’s all background noise at this point – a staticky blah-blah blur.
Legalization would be the most effective harm reduction measure wouldn’t it?
It would solve a massive amount of problems.
For example, you could buy Xanax that was actually Xanax.
“What could possibly solve this problem?”
Not swallowing stuff that might kill you is a good start.

Or did he just die of a meth overdose? It was 68 degrees that day. Granted he should have just been driven straight to the hospital given his OD symptoms, but heat stroke in the back of a car? No.
the 68-degree day
Fuck off, he died of an OD. Go after his dealer you fucking ghouls.
Is there video? Maybe it was a knee to the neck.
How is it the dealer’s fault? He wanted to buy meth, and the dealer wanted to sell it.
Agreed. His death was his own fault from OD’ing on the drugs. Nobody else’s. Blaming the dealer would be the same as blaming a liquor store for a drunk driver.
The cop was negligent in waiting so long to call an ambulance.

“”Thousands of people marched in the Sicilian city of Messina on Saturday to protest a government plan to build a bridge that would connect the Italian mainland with Sicily in a massive $15.5 billion infrastructure project.
Protesters staunchly oppose the Strait of Messina Bridge project over its scale, earthquake threats, environmental impact and the specter of mafia interference….
The proposed bridge would span nearly 2.2 miles with a suspended section of more than 2 miles. It would surpass Turkey’s Canakkale Bridge by 4,189 feet to become the longest suspension bridge in the world.”
https://nypost.com/2025/08/10/world-news/protests-erupt-in-italy-over-planned-bridge-from-sicily-to-mainland/
Huge.
I thought the whole point of the project was to buy off the Mafia to keep them from messing with some other initiative
Why are there Pali and commie flags at a protest against a bridge to Sicily…?!
International Socialist Solidarity Tovarisch!
Protesters have become more and more retarded over time.
It just speaks volumes to me about current year. Protesting is just something fun to do and the causes du jour are “Palestine” and communism.
You get what you pay for.
Weird. The other day I was listening to a podcast on the Punic Wars and I was wondering how wide those straits were and whether it was remotely realistic for the Romans to build a bridge.
I watched some video about why there’s no bridge (this was a few months ago, so not sure if this new bridge plan had been made public yet) but it said that the mafia has interests in a lot of the shipping companies that move goods to and from Sicily, so they don’t want a bridge. Even if a bridge were going to be built, they would get their own favored contractors in there and construct it as slowly as possible to squeeze out more money. It’s a big reason that the infrastructure in southern Italy is generally very poor.
Good morning!
Reading through the weekend’s comments, I only have this to add re: the proper fat for frying potatoes in.
Duck fat is the best I’ve tried. Especially smoked duck fat. Every time I go to Montreal I bring home some magret de canard fumee and use the fat left over after cooking to make the best hash browns in existence.
I have been told but I do not know personally that horse fat is even better than duck. If I ever go to France I’ll seek out a frite shop that uses it.
Duck fat > Tallow > Lard > Clarified butter > just don’t even bother
I have had some delicious 1/8″ shoestring-style potatoes fried in olive oil.
There is is/was a Greek place where I went to college that would use their gyro drippings.
Delicious shoestring potatos is a contradiction in terms. It’s a waste of good potato.
What a schmaltzy comment.
I don’t think I’m that adventurous.
Catherine the Great says don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.
Mr. Hands has a second opinion though…
I wonder how goose fat fries would taste?
Hateful
Those first few stories are encouraging, especially with so the Trump admin just starting.
It’s rich that California is so concerned about what other states are doing, when they get so butt hurt about other states criticizing their batshit crazy policies.
With so many Congressers squatting in their seats for decades on end, it has to be really frustrating for the state reps. The state-to-national pipeline has been clogged, and they’re just trying to open it up.
Of course, term limits would also work, but that might mean they can’t pull up the ladder after they get on board, so . . . .
I’ve said this 1000 times, but “campaign finance reform” was one of the worst things they could have done. It was the foxes building their own gate to the hen house.
Increase the size of Congress.
But leave the overall salary and staffing budgets the same.
“No member of congress shall be paid more than the median net individual income nationwide minus $1. No member of congress is permitted an outside income. All assets of any member of congress and their household members must be put into a blind trust when they enter congress and may not be accessed while they are in office.”
UCS, I ran for some office as a Libertarian once and said I’d turn everything over to undisclosed administration by a CPA firm – including incoming campaign contributions so I wouldn’t know who was trying to “influence” me. I was promptly notified that it was illegal to do so.
That is completely backwards.
When your goal is total power you have to look at the big picture. Local politics only interests them as far as it influences their goal of enslaving the entire world…this nation is key to that.

It’s a perfectly cromulent way of getting your power factor up.

You, you tempt me. Always timed near my break. Lucky I’m going in now…
Somebody buy my Atlas Nemesis .40S&W please.
Why do you want to offload it?
The point of buying a 40 is buying lightly used LEO turn ins at great prices.
Not something silly priced.
Because I’m only shooting 9mm in Carry Optics, Limited Optics, and PCSL Standard for the foreseeable future. And I really don’t want to cut up a top-shelf .40 Limited Irons gun to convert it into a 9mm Limited Optics gun – I have some beater 2011s for that. I’d rather sell the package to someone who wants to shoot Limited.
There’s nothing silly about the price I’ll let this gun go for. You’ll never see an Atlas for this kind of money…
“Are you sure this gun is worth a Billion dollars?”
You don’t want to be the US L10 champion?
Atlases are a lot cheaper here than in your neck of the woods apparently. I wonder if it’s purely a matter of proximity.
“The FBI, headed by Trump acolyte Kash Patel, has reassigned the jobs of thousands of agents and eviscerated parts of the bureau tasked with investigating rightwing extremists that are considered the most dangerous domestic security threat facing the US today. Those same types, which includes a locus of fascist street-fighting gangs known as active clubs and accelerationist neo-Nazis, increasingly view Trump as an enemy, but are freer than ever to organize – almost entirely due to changes instituted in his latest presidency.
“His alliance with Israel and Netanyahu is obviously problematic for antisemites, and there have always been questions about how dedicated Trump is to the cause of a white America,” said Heidi Beirich, co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, referring to American rightwing extremists’ view of the president. “Frankly, white supremacists have never had it so good as they do now under Trump.”
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/11/trump-far-right-fbi
“But it was a recent American Eagle ad featuring the actor Sydney Sweeney – one alluding to her jeans as a reference to physical, genetic genes – that has enraged the online hordes of the far right. One called it Maga’s blatant attempt to win back their support through “white coded media” in service of a broader agenda.”
These people are still living in 2024.
Oh no, the white prison gang and all 17 actual nazis in the US are now anti-Trump, and no longer have 37 FBI guys assigned apiece. Whatever shall we do?
I see the Guardian is using ‘AI’ to write their articles.
Must be: even accepting the moronic premise that the Sweeney ad was Nazi adjacent or whatever the fuck it is they’re trying to say, why would that enrage the “far right hordes”? Engaged maybe but not enraged.
Also, what hordes?
I would say the right-wing hordes were more engorged than enraged.
“and eviscerated parts of the bureau tasked with investigating rightwing extremists that are considered the most dangerous domestic security threat facing the US today.”
Of course the crooks making these policies still see anyone opposing their marxist globalist agenda as the greatest security threat. Think about our democracy! Meaning the power centers the unelected and unaccountable bureaucratic machine had weaponized by Obama, to attack political enemies of democrats and straddle us with a corrupt perpetual one party shithole.
“Divorce him already, Usha
JD Vance and his wife really seem to loathe each other
Vance was trying to square Trump’s hostility to non-white immigrants with the fact that Vance himself is married to the daughter of Indian immigrants. He argued, “when we allow newcomers into our American family, we allow them on our terms.” He then proceeded to spell out his terms by talking about how he proposed marriage by talking up how his “cemetery plot in Eastern Kentucky is near my family’s ancestral home” — and how she and her kids would be buried there with “seven generations just in that small mountain cemetery plot.” The implication wasn’t subtle: Usha Vance is expected to subsume her South Asian identity to his family’s whiteness, as well as her husband’s blood-and-soil idea of what makes someone an American.”

Kind of a weird proposal line I guess but the inferences they draw there are just stupid but, hey, it’s Salon.
I’m pretty sure Indian immigrants like her parents are among those who support the immigration crackdown because they’ve gone through the long and involved legal process and didn’t skip the line.

“At 81-years-old, Mueller has been in public service since he joined the Marines in 1968 and retired as special counsel in 2019, but signs of his alleged cognitive decline — most recently reported by Real Clear Investigations journalist Paul Sperry — were reportedly noticed during the creation of his report on the 2016 presidential election.”
I guess installing aging, cognitively compromised hacks to control works until it doesn’t (see: Biden, Joe).
That was a feature. Find someone you could pretend was legitimate, skinsuit the fucker, then have the real scary crooks run them like marionettes.
Mueller really did seem “sharp as a tack” most of the time before the results of his nothingburger investigation were released. Then as soon as he started getting tough questions (like “when did you know that there was no evidence of collusion”) he switched to the confused old man act… “Uhh, I didn’t hear you, I don’t remember, I don’t recall, what did you say young man?? I can’t hear you…”
“On Monday, a judge denied a request to unseal transcripts from the grand jury trial that indicted Ghislaine Maxwell. This comes as the case with Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein has been a main focus in the national discourse over the past several months.
According to the AP, the New York judge denied a request from the DOJ to unseal the transcripts. Judge Paul A. Engelmayer wrote in the decision that the release of the materials in a “casually or promiscuously” fashion could risk “unraveling the foundations of secrecy upon which the grand jury is premised.”

They need to release something.
Is that normal for grand jury transcripts?
They are normally sealed, yes.
A new grand jury to investigate Epstein-related shenanigans will have access to all grand jury materials on Epstein-related shenanigans.
You know what I’m not seeing? All the people squawking for release of the FBI files on Epstein complaining about the judge blocking release of grand jury materials on Epstein. Why, its almost like people only want their version of the files released.
Jennifer Welch. I had to look her up

My first thought: “That’s a man baby!”
That’s an AI-generated picture created with the prompt, ‘Portrait picture of editor of snooty, $30/copy New England interior design magazine’.
https://collegepill.com/jennifer-welch-bikini-pics/
AI generated web page?
Ah, the vanishingly rare reverse rickroll.
That is absolutely AI generated. I dont think the three photos are the same person. The last one certainly is not. I think the center photo is an actual photo of a person but it is not the woman I found when searching her name.
Look at the hips and facial structure of the image I posted. That’s a dude.
As for AI generation I hear some in the AI industry saying over half of the internet content is AI created and before the year is out not only will that number be higher but it will be virtually impossible for a human to tell the difference.
We are entering a post-truth world where nothing you see in the electronic world can be trusted.

True.

Why are designers obsessed with stairs without risers? Do they not understand that you have to go up a staircase as well as down, and the opening is guaranteed to trip someone eventually?
Because they’re “Artistic” and “Modern” and the architect never has to climb them.
Stairs like that freak me out, I’m not great with heights.
I came very close to breaking an ankle, and possibly worse because I was helping a friend lug an old cast iron inline water heater up open faced stairs and my foot slipped a bit too far forward. I have hated them ever since.
A lot of “modern” architecture is just made to look good on a magazine cover at the expense of durability, maintainability, cost efficiency, and actually creating a space you would want to live in.
Like those artsy-fartsy houses that look like a bunch of cubes mashed together with little to no roof overhangs. This is just one example. Better hope there’s enough sun hitting all those walls at some point, or else you’ll be squeegee’ing the moss off the siding every few months.
“Old fashioned” architectural features like pitched roofs and overhangs may not be the hottest new trend, but there’s a reason they’ve been used pretty much all over the world for thousands of years – they help structures last a long time.
“NYPD on MANHUNT for WNBA sex-toy throwing suspect in Beavis and Butthead shirt”
https://thepostmillennial.com/nypd-on-manhunt-for-wnba-sex-toy-throwing-suspect-in-beavis-and-butthead-shirt
Priorities.
“Police in Phoenix last week arrested 18-year-old Kaden Lopez on charges of disorderly conduct, assault, and public display of explicit sexual material after a similar incident at a Mercury game. A cryptocurrency group promoting a token called “Green Dildo Coin” has claimed responsibility for encouraging these disruptions.”
Assault? That seems a bit much.
That depends – did the thrown object hit somebody?
did the thrown object hit somebody?
That would be battery
I haven’t seen any claims that it hit someone.
Gotta say, I’m a little uneasy about the charge for “public display of explicit sexual material”, too.
It’s almost like the real charge is “embarrassing the WNBA.”
They should instead be grateful for the attention.
*chef’s kiss*
They need to unleash the Dildozer to rehabilitate all the misogynists for mockery!
They need to make the WNBA be dodgeball, but with dildos. That league would immediately become profitable.
It’s a shame this didn’t happen during the Biden admin. We would have the full force of the FBI and even the CIA going after these white supremacist domestic terrorists, and the perps would be thrown in a gulag never to be seen again.
“What are ya in for?”
“I threw a dildo on the court of a basketball game.”
/And they all moved away from me on the Group W bench.
That’s why you have to tell them you also created a nuisance.
Apparently my permission slip arrives in the mail today. I will use it to pick up a Colt Agent which I procured purely because it was $250 and usable in BUG revolver matches.
In today’s lesson of the economies of scale, I went to targetsportsusa.com to buy ammo for it. Cowboy loaded .38 is even more expensive than defensive .38, which is twice the price of 9×19.
At the store, it seemed to be in fine working order, I’ll just need to figure out how to use gutter sights.
How did you find out the paperwork would be arriving today?
USPS sends me an email with a picture of my incoming paper mail.
Really?
I did not know they would do that.
Of course, I wouldn’t give them my email address – they already have my physical address.
Yes.
Eh, I have plenty of email addresses.
I still have a mailbox at the end of my driveway*, but for people who have those communal mailboxes way at the end of their housing development, I’m sure it’s nice to not have to check it when it’s empty.
*My street only has mailboxes on one side of it. Fortunately my house is on that side. My across the street neighbors literally have to cross a stroad to get/check their mail.
My mailbox is part of my house, like the urban neighbors. Poor mailman has to walk the route and can’t just fill boxes while sitting in the mailcat.
The past two houses I’ve owned have those communal mailboxes. Easier for the mailman, but more of a pain to go check regularly.
I’ve had to dodge rattlesnakes on my way to my mailbox at the end of the driveway.
Granted, it was twice in 12 years, but still.
Those drivebys with rattling guns are a real menace.
I cracked a joke and now I’m sitting here working out the engineering of firing snakes from a gatling gun.
Well, I think step 1 the snakes are chilled to make them lethargic, then enclosed in a three part sabot with a shot cup cap on the back end that is loaded in a plastic tube to keep it together. The plastic tube has some sort of rim or flange to keeo it in place when compressed air ejects the sabot and snake towards the target. After that, the handling of the tubes would be like any other comically oversized ammunition.
You need heated barrels so the snakes are active on target.
Might be easier to fling them from an auto-feed trebuchet.
RJ, that wouldn’t be a Rattling Gun then.
9×38 *should* be twice the price of 9×19.
I think most of the CAS handload.
At this price, that makes sense.
When I got into shooting, it would take ~50k rounds of 9mm loaded to break even with the setup costs. Therefore I’ve never bothered to get into it.

I’m stunned by such stunning bravery.

Big Balls grandfather was a spy.
“Valery Martynov was a double agent working as a Soviet KGB officer as well as an intelligence asset for the US. While serving as a Lieutenant Colonel in the KGB, he was stationed in 1980 at the Soviet official offices in Washington, D.C. By 1982, he had become a double agent and was passing intelligence to the CIA and FBI under the code name “Gentile”. He was executed in Moscow on May 28, 1987, at the age of 41.”

Big Balls’ grandfather was a Russian intelligence officer who was also an American spy. The article deliberately conflates the two terms, in order to give the impression that Martynov was spying on the US on behalf of the Russians, and not the reverse.
“Pamela Anderson has launched her own brand of pickles — and fans are already saying what a big dill it is.
The 58-year-old actor released her latest product, Pamela’s Pickles, Sunday, in collaboration with Los Angeles’ Flamingo Estate. The recipe for the pickles was passed down to Anderson by her great-aunt Vie, whom the actor called “an award-winning pickler and canner.”
So, how do you get your hands on Anderon’s spicy and floral pickles? The product is sold on Flamingo Estate’s website and retails for $38 per jar.”
https://www.the-independent.com/life-style/pamela-anderson-pickles-recipe-sale-b2805510.html
No.
How are those pickles, erm, pickled?
#FAIL
Even minor differences in flavor can make me dislike a pickle. My current standard is the quite cheap Mt Olive kosher dill spears.
I’m not paying over 10x as much because some celebrity’s name is on the jar.
Silicon and Botox sound like nasty flavors.
1. Buy some kind of glass container with a tightly-fitting lid (Mason jars work just fine)
2. Put in diced cucumbers, or even carrots, cauliflower, peppers, etc.
3. Pour in a mixture of white distilled vinegar, water, salt, and a garlic clove if you want
4. Let sit in the fridge at least over night
There. Pickles. After the cost of the container, it probably comes out to less than a dollar per jar, especially because you can do this with vegetables that would otherwise end up in the trash (e.g. those that are a bit past their prime for eating raw but not actually rotten yet).
You forgot the dill. How could you forget the dill? What are you, some kind of bread-and-butter half-sour degenerate?
