STEVE SMITH LIKE CHERRY!
CHERRY FOR STEVE SMITH
I was honestly expecting this.
Cherry 2000 is a good movie. I need to add it to my home library.
“He added that crop insurance hasn’t caught up with the realities of climate change, since it is based on a five-year average of harvested fruit tonnage.”
Realities?
Can I get a policy covering the year 2100 yet? I want to lock in rates.
If you pay premiums all the way to 2100 and the crop fails, they’ll pay you the estimated value of the crop in 1900, not inflation adjusted.
Umm, if you get insured for the trailing 5 year average, and Klimate Kaos is wrecking your crops, wouldn’t that mean that “crop insurance catching up with the realities of climate change” means your payouts will be going down?
Mostly peaceful.
They either think people are completely stupid and unable to see the Summer of Love 2 attempt, or they have nothing but more of this shit. In either case, after the Kung Flu shit, the vast majority of people simply are not sympathetic to this government sponsored shit. Especially now that we KNOW it is always our tax dollars, stolen by the deep state and democrat party, paying for this criminal shit. I bet people will be cheering on hard police responses against this sht.
Despite being generally down on cops (SLD), I’m know I’m rooting hard.
These people aren’t there for humanitarian reasons, or r whatever other bullshit they want to claim. They’re there to force the government to cede to their demand that they be allowed to break the law with impunity.
Fuck off. Roving gangs of people flying Mexican flags while burning down cities and causing general chaos is exactly why we don’t want illegals here. Get the fuck out. On this issue I’m in the “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” camp.
Has anyone said, “Fiery but mostly peaceful” yet?
I remember when I first saw that during the summer of love, I thought it was a parody.
I will leave this here..
Close enough, they are beyond parity.
Ron’s right, you can’t even Sartre-ize this.
I am confused. Are the protest peaceful or has Donald Trump caused violence?
“I didnt do it!”
“Ok, I did it but it is your fault. You made me do it!”
Yeah. Invoke the insurrection act. It, unlike the jan6 false flag, is an actual insurrection coordinated by govt actors. A coup, if you will.
Are the protest peaceful or has Donald Trump caused violence?
YES
If I recall correctly, in Japan riot police spray protesters with an indelible ink that is nigh impossible to wash off. We should start doing this and then arresting those covered in that shit after the fact.
TIL one of the original “Rooftop Koreans” is on TwiX.
https://x.com/RoofKorean7
Sometimes I love that site.
Good timing with Sean’s link…
“We have a division within the Roof Koreans called Round Eye Brigade,
if that fits you, sign up.”
👍
I like that guy.
Work in shifts, cellular or (better) amateur radio comms. Good advice.
Nothing to see here.
Shoot to kill..
That ends this shit fast.
I probably shouldn’t have that instinct — but that’s my current instinct, yeah. Want to act like an armed insurrection against the state? Get treated like one. Using deadly force (rocks / molotovs) against cops? They have every right to shoot you in self defense if nothing else — though I think the preservation of property would apply as well.
Not necessary. The NGO that is coordinating, planning and paying for this got their money from the US gov., apparently a DHS grant under Biden. Who signed off on that and who runs this NGO?
The riots will stop within the hour if you get those people by the balls.
More from the state of California than from the feds Suthen.
I probably shouldn’t have that instinct — but that’s my current instinct, yeah.
This is something I’ve struggled with for a few years, especially in light of my faith. Where does mercy end and justice begin? It’s easy enough to justify ending an imminent threat, but when the threat is a violent mob, can I only shoot the individual who threatens my life when they threaten it? Does the answer change if it’s not me, but the state doing it?
trshmnstr:
I’d say when it’s a mob charging you (or those you’re obligated to protect), I’d say free fire is permitted. The time for moral quandaries is long before the knife is at the throat, or the molotov is in the air, at that point, survival is what’s going to win out.
Read them the riot act, give them 3 warnings to disperse, then shoot them. The next “organic” protest will go home at step one. The one after that won’t happen.
“can I only shoot the individual who threatens my life when they threaten it?”
I would say the mob itself is the imminent threat. I know there are plenty of Glibs who think collectives are just a social construct that don’t exist in reality, just atomized individuals, but I disagree. We are pack animals, and there is absolutely a mob mentality. If you are there in the mob, you have chosen to join the mob, and actions have consequences.
@RC Dean
That’s the way I’ve resolved it, too. Mobs and rioting are a breakdown of civilization in a similar manner to war. I’m not gonna sit there and quibble over self-defense in a war zone, and I’m not going to do so in a riot. If you’re wearing the enemy’s uniform (literally or figuratively), you’re a threat, regardless of whether you’re the exact one who launched the latest salvo.
We are pack animals, and there is absolutely a mob mentality.
Anyone who doesn’t believe that has never read The True Believer.
Arson is up there with rape and murder as a capital crime. People died in fires in the last round of riots. Shooting arsonists isn’t controversial.
So much this that it was pointed out in the concealed carry course that Arson was on the short list of crimes that leathal force was permissable to use to prevent – In New York.
And for the idiots that think this somehow will hurt Trump/conservatives with hispanics: there is this. I am not surprised that the people directly impacted by the policy of importing criminal gang members into their communities are gung ho about these criminals being rounded up and sent somewhere else.
The girlfriend has an aunt who lives in LA, per her, she just sees fires outside her windows.
Is the Aunt sufficiently armed?
UCS:
Doubt it. She does have plans to get out of California though. Unfortunately… it’s here to CLE.
Obama, Obama why hast thou forsaken us? [TW: Atlantic via Yahoo]
He is too busy smoking crack and sucking dick with his new boyfriend.
My guess is he wants to lay low since it is obvious the coupe against the first Trump admin and the 4 years under Biden were all his shit.
Now we know why it was an auto-pen.
You’re really gonna try that shtick here?
He has a tough time shifting gears.
Besides, everyone knows it was a brougham against Trump, not a coupe.
I am still confused by this idea of Obama the mastermind. The man was pretty good at reading lines someone else wrote for him off a teleprompter. When he tried to think on his feet he shifted 3 standard deviations left in IQ.
Obama was the Democratic answer to George W. Bush – an empty suit onto which whatever you wanted could be projected.
*laughing too hard to get any further*
I tapped out here:
I would guess it just got more disingenuous from there.
The author thinks that makes Obama more relatable. It’s pretty incredible.
Random protests.
If you are wondering if these things are organic or more of the deep state/democrat paid for shit, wonder no more..
I wanna see mass arrests this week.
The problem is CA has such reasonable prosecutors.
I’m past that level of mercy. If they surrender, they can be taken in for trial.
If they insist on being violent, shoot to kill.

That’s exactly what he made.
Never had one like that before.
It looks so easy and delicious.
ron73440:
They’re really easy to make. Another option with fresh cherries (or ones you didn’t get to) would be to make them into a sauce and serve them over Dutch babies.
Don’t underestimated Team Red’s ability to ignore this until it’s a complete surprise.

Let them pour in billions – they can’t buy results with their “messaging”.
“A lawsuit against Michigan State University concerning a professor who was called a racist by school trustees for using the word “mob” to describe chaos at a public meeting has advanced in court.
A Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) release stated that “professor Jack Lipton scored a victory for free speech last week after a federal court allowed his lawsuit to move forward against two Michigan State University trustees who he claims not only urged students to call him racist, but told them how to phrase it.”
https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/lawsuit-professor-called-racist-saying-mob-moves-forward
Still no idea how “mob” is racist.
It’s anti-Italian-American.
Because everything is stupid.

Everything is racist, too.
So true.

Isn’t that what the left wants?
Turns out there are Democrats that aren’t THAT left after all.
They want people to feel the pain but don’t want the blame. Maybe blame Congress.
They won’t call for a repeal though.
The Jones Act is one of those things that is so blatantly nonsensical that its only line of defense is that most people don’t know about it, and when they hear about it, they don’t really make a connection for how this negatively affects them.
And Gavin still doesn’t have an answer.
Gavin’s answer.
I am gonna bet his answer involves stealing oodles of cash and doing nothing about the real issue.
Lol. It’s true.
I used to live near the Arco refinery. My neighbors worked there. The refinery is gone and I’m long gone from CA.
Yeah but you moved from CA to NJ?
From LA to Las Vegas, to NJ, then to SC.
“Let me be clear: I think Combs’s admitted behavior is absolutely despicable. He’s a confessed woman-beater who’s engaged in abusive, degrading acts that should offend and disgust any reasonable person with a moral compass.
But—and this is critical—he is not on trial for being disgusting or even offensive. The jurors will not be asked whether he is a pervert or even guilty of Intimate Partner Violence (IVP).
Combs is being tried on charges of racketeering (RICO), sex trafficking, and the transportation of individuals for prostitution, to which he’s pleaded not guilty. And so far, I believe the prosecution has failed to effectively prove the elements of those crimes beyond a reasonable doubt.”

More on what I linked yesterday.
This is all Rand Paul and Thomas Massie’s fault.
The USAID debacle was the unmasking. This is the catalyst.
The NGO-FedGov axis needs to be burned to the ground. Not just nipped and pruned, obliterated. Every undotted i and uncrossed t should result in fraud charges, and RICO investigations should be opened writ large.
Against those in the govt that signed the authorizations for the checks to be cut.
This. The NGO thing started out reasonable enough but it has grown into a true Frankenstein’s monster and is being used against the American people. Quite a few people need to go to prison.
NGO means no funding from the govt. That should be a very bright line.
Good morning all. Appropriate that we have STEVE SMITH this morning. I’m still doing my colonoscopy prep and at 3am it felt like I got a visit from him.
😣😵
Colonoscopy prep was easy for me after 3 days of a clear liquid diet.
That’s not a bad idea.
Meow.
To be fair, it *is* Pride Month, and Ron is showing off his pride in being able to take it in the ass with stoicism.
The surgery center called and they said I could come in early. But I just took another dose of miralax, which apparently wasn’t really necessary. 🙁
So now you’re just doing it for fun?
Just for sh1ts and grins!
Oh, you two!
Hope everything comes out good.
Squints suspiciously
You have my sympathy. I did it earlier this year. FWIW, the procedure was easy.
Just feeding their families.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
I am shocked to find looting at such an organic peaceful protest.
I called Summer of Love II months ago.
This is just the beginning.
Not likely to happen here. After the one day last year, instead of rooftop Koreans, it was Eastern Europeans who had fled communism standing in front of their shops.
The best way to quell any sort of looting is to shoot looters on sight or at the very least prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.
When you refuse to use lethal force to stop private property violations, you incentivize low lives like the ones in the video to start tearing up shit and looting.
My wife was watching some reporting on the situation and some lady was saying “The worst thing you could do is to have the police have a strong presence beacuase that would escalate the situation.
Am I crazy? I could have sworn the police did nothing at the start of the Rodney King riots and the summer of love and all of those escalated out of control rather quickly.
Can we debunk that particular theory of riot control already?
Well that’s what she learned in Urban Gender Women’s Studies so it must be true.
“Can we debunk that particular theory of riot control already?”
All you have to do is pay attention to how the people in charge that tell you to let the looting and rioting happen when the mob comes for them directly. Suddenly having the police give a beatdown, arrest, or even kill the mob is the way to stop that…
They are basically telling you they don’t care about us and our shit, but don’t fuck with them and their shit.
The traditional Israeli way of dealing with riots is to identify the riot cell leaders, and pick them off with a silenced .22LR rifle round through the lung at moderately long range. Very unlikely to kill, but it will absolutely for certain put them in the hospital where they can be help for later interrogation and prosecution.
That’s why LA needs far more rooftop Koreans.
“Escalating the situation” is exactly what the left wants.
Indeed, Rhy. And as we are seeing, they don’t need an excuse to escalate.
Ron, hope you are doing better.
It’s not a theory of riot control, it’s either pure propaganda or seething ignorance, possibly both.
Much better, no bleeding since they cauterized it, so I am back to normal food today.
Went to work and feel fine, but the walk from the parking lot winded me.
Of course… Summer of Love 2.0 indeed. Maybe they can burn down Minneapolis and Portland next.
I probably picked an apt time to get some night-shooting practice in with the old AR…
Is there anyone that isn’t trying to get in on the global warming grift?
These cherry farmers…I am not going to read the whole thing. How much do they want?
Our higher education. This is Jesuit – so I am assuming it is still “private”.
The course is a graduation requirement, so I re-enrolled with Mr. Wei, who is new to the school. I requested the same accommodation that Ms. Watson said “Muslim women students” had received: to complete the course remotely. Mr. Wei instead scheduled a Zoom meeting with me. He promised a professional tone and said sexual disclosure wouldn’t be required.

Yes, yes it is.
Risk losing accreditation by not endorsing the nonsense and teaching it as dogma?
I read that over the weekend. It’s infuriating. I hope the school loses a substantial lawsuit.
I missed last night’s “What are we reading” post, but I’ll add a late contribution. I’m on my local library’s waitlist for Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green, which was recommended to me by my regular Thursday barmaid at a local microbrewery.
I’m a little leery of the blurb “Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it.” — like it’s my fault that some cannibal in the Congo is getting short-dicked by a treatable bacteria just because I’m living well here in the states.
I’m also skeptical of the book’s title, since it presumes to answer the 400 year-old question “TB or not TB?”
Why am I waiting on the library instead of merely buying a copy of Everything is Tuberculosis? Probably because I want to avoid the consumption tax.
Obligatory
You really played that one close to the chest.
You have to pick your spots.
“[The tuberculosis book] presumes to answer the 400 year-old question “TB or not TB?”’
*Chef’s kiss*
Doesn’t sound like something fit for general Consumption.
Don’t lung to a conclusion, Shpip.
““Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos. In addition to the recent ICE raids in Southern California and across our nation, it is part of the Trump Administration’s cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division,” Harris said in a statement on Sunday.
Harris encouraged the rioters.
“Protest is a powerful tool — essential in the fight for justice. And as the LAPD, Mayor and Governor have noted, demonstrations in defense of our immigrant neighbors have been overwhelmingly peaceful,” she said.
“I continue to support the million of Americans who are standing up to protect our most fundamental rights and freedoms,” Harris said.”

2/3 of people support deportations. Same number when they polled Hispanics. I’m expecting that number to go up.
I have never seen political suicide on this scale.
I’m willing to bet by the end of this, 80% of people will support deportation of Democrat politicians.
I think it’s a tough call for the midterms. It’s basically a choice between the Democrats’ support for criminal illegals and violence in the streets on the one hand, and the Republicans’ support for a fabulously corrupt, wasteful, and inept status quo on the other.
RC Dean:
TEAM Blue wants a fabulously corrupt, wasteful, and inept status quo too.
Well, sure, but it’s not their signature issue just now. It seems to be what the Republicans plan to run on next year.
Is it really suicide though?
Sure, they can’t get elected outside of CA, but inside of it they’re golden, and by virtue of being huge wield power.
But don’t you dare protest unscientific lock downs, mask mandates, or vaccine requirements!
That was different!!!
The amount of bootlicking I witnessed during the Canadian Protest against the covid mandates was appalling.
Yeah, yeah, look what you made me do. I have heard it before.
She is never going to be president. More of this and she won’t even be the mayor of LA.

In fairness, you probably don’t want to see them.
You might think you do, but you will immediately regret that decision.
naked Trantifa protest
TRIGGLY PUFF SMASH STEVE SMITH!

In this case, I suspect that “there are naked people and we are going to show them to you” would be more lame.
not gonna link the story, but here is a headline over a Salon
Trump’s war with California will test MAGA’s limits
This is just the beginning. Anyone who lives in a blue American city should get ready
Sure. Trump’s base is going to turn on him for being too mean to California.
I’m not even part of Trump’s base and I find that laughable.
People with rocks attack people with guns, because they know the people with guns have been ordered to not shoot.
My first thought was thinking the amount of restraint shown is pretty damn high.
The left claims it’s fascism. Fascism would be people mowed down in the streets, with many others more simply disappeared.
I’m going to guess that most of ‘MAGA’ is more or less where I am on the subject of anti-American riots in our cities. And I am wholeheartedly in favor of lethal force.
Arsonists get shot. Looters get shot. I’m not ready to shoot everyone on the street. Yet.
kinnath:
I’m at the point those throwing rocks and water bottles (frozen or not) deserve to get shot too.
Yes, Neph, you can add people throwing lethal objects to that list.
You warn them to disperse first, but once looting, throwing incendiaries and rocks at the police, and burning cars start happening it’s not a peaceful assembly anymore. If you stay after that starts you have joined the riot. Letting riots continue for days effectively guarantees that innocent bystanders will suffer.
“If you stay after that starts you have joined the riot.”
Indeed.
It’s probably a good thing that members of the American military would not machine gun or use flamethrowers on a crowd.
Probably.
Foreign flag wavers- shot.
“Get ready” for what? More rioting and looting?
Trump is escalating by trying to stop the violence.
This is going to also test California’s limit. Had Biden/Harris won, I was expecting a Texas secession. Now, with Trump in office and all this happening, I’m beginning to hope for a California secession. Maybe that’s part of the long game.
How long can CA survive without handouts from the feds?
They claim to be net payers and not payees, but I’m pretty sure that’s bullshit. I mean, they were begging fedgov for more money to cover the bills they paid out to illegals.
Muzzled Woodchipper:
Here is how California Gov. Gavin Newsom plans to address a $12 billion budget shortfall
$12 BILLION, and AP News, so that should defuse any “right wing sources” from those types.
Ugh, when the only legal training approved for DEI credits is an 8 hour live presentation on employment discrimination law. The state bar sucks.
On the other hand, I hear peeping from the eggs sitting on my table, and there are some cracks in the shells, so I may have a bunch of baby chicks later today. It’ll be a good day.
🐣
Adding chicks to a party always makes things better and more sandwiches
Mmm… Chicken Sandwiches.
How many do you need for a meal?
less than one – provided proper husbandry beforehand.
We’ll find out….the roosters are on the menu once we figure out which ones they are.
We bought a straight run batch in late February, and 5 of 9 are roosters, so they’ll be sent off to freezer camp soon.
When you get smart about it, you’ll not hatch and raise the chicks yourself, but give the eggs to broody hen to do all if the work for you.
We have a broody hen, but we don’t have a great setup for her to sit on the eggs. I’m half tempted to go shove a couple chicks under her and see what she does.
If you are wondering what the agenda/goal of the progressive marxist globalist movement is and what evil they are behind, wonder no more….

Evan McMuffin?
Won’t someone think of the children?
Long story short: the usual suspects in tony Naples, Florida applied for a permit to have their Pride festival in a city park.
The local council said “Okay… but your show featuring bawdy cross-dressing dudes has to be indoors and adults-only.”
Which (after two years of complying) prompted a federal lawsuit in front of (naturally) a superannuated Clinton appointee, who found that restricting childrens’ exposure to drag was a clear violation of the United States Constitution.
And all the flamboyant queers rejoiced… until the Eleventh Circuit stepped in.
Alarming
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said on All Things Considered on Sunday that coordination with federalized National Guard troops is “collaborative, at this point” but she was critical of Trump’s decision to deploy them.
“I believe that these raids and now the federalization of troops to come into Los Angeles is an intentional effort to sow chaos,” Bass said. She called the city a “tinderbox” and said, “I do not want to see civil unrest take place in this city and I think bringing the National Guard in is provocative.”
Newsom said on social media that he formally asked Trump to rescind the “unlawful” deployment Sunday.
“We didn’t have a problem until Trump got involved,” Newsom wrote. “This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed.”
The Democratic Governors Association issued a statement calling Trump’s National Guard deployment “an alarming abuse of power.”
Everything was hunky dory before Trump stole that election.
Apparently she isn’t talking to her police chief.
Bass is and always was a solid commie and civil unrest is exactly what she wants. I think this is some spasm of the deep state, an attempt to create a situation that will unseat Trump. It is probably is going to get worse unless the architects are rooted out and held responsible. This would not be hard to do.
She will finally demand federal involvement & arrests when citizens are forced to take protecting their property and their lives in their own hand. She will want all of THOSE people arrested.
Of course Alex, those are the privileged ones.
Besides, they have insurance.
I would assume the city a “tinderbox” should be a problem that was dealt with in due course a while ago.
What fires?
Yeah, that’s exceptionally tone deaf coming from her.
I think we need another J.D. Vance, “Do you hear yourself?” for this. ‘Inflaming tensions?’ Gavin, they’re looting stores and torching cop cars in the street. How much more inflamed do the tensions need to get?
Trump should pull out, give Newsome and Bass their state sovereignity, and let chips fall where they may. Californians (or a good majority of them) voted for this nonsense so let “democracy” prevail. When the rioters start in on Bel Air and Beverly Hills and Knob Hill, then we will see what happens. Of course, those now calling Trump a Hitler will turn and accuse him of being Nero.
Nope. No sanctuary states. Get those foreign invaders the fuck out.
“ABC 7 in Los Angeles is gaslighting its viewers, too. Anchor Marc Brown had the audacity to blame law enforcement for escalating the situation when it was just a bunch of people having fun, watching cars burn.
I’m not joking. He literally said the situation “could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement in there in the wrong way, and turn what is just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation and altercation between officers and demonstrators.”

It’s quite insane how they will sit in front of actual video of the rioting, burning, looting, etc. and claim it’s a peaceful protest. Like they expect you to not believe what you are actually seeing. Do even their followers believe their insane bullshit?
Look, that anchor was perfectly safe inside the studio, just like the mayor and governor (with their personal guards).
The True Believers do. I’ve seen Progressive friends leave their compacity to have any sort of logic behind when whatever stories or event confirms their stupid worldview.
They parrot the bullshit, whether they believe it is immaterial.
These were the same people cheerleading Canadian truckers having their bank accounts frozen for having bounce houses set up in Ottawa.
Professionalism
Moran’s post went out just after midnight on Sunday. In it, he wrote that Miller is “one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy,” and operates not on “brains” but on “bile.”
“Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred,” Moran wrote. “He’s a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate.”
The post, in which a veteran anchor veered into opinion rather than reportage or analysis of facts, is still seen as a breach of standards by many news organizations, despite the proliferation of opinion-led programs on cable networks such as MSNBC or Fox News Channel. Moran has been called in the past to report on politics, and secured a coveted interview with President Donald Trump in April that won plaudits. His commentary on Miller could be seen as undermining ABC News’ objectivity in coverage of White House matters.
He hasn’t revealed anything we didn’t already know. Leave him on the job.
ABC News’ objectivity in coverage of White House
Is anyone stupid enough to actually believe this?

The Optiq-V shares its dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup with the larger Lyriq-V, though the Optiq’s smaller battery means it spits out 519 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque in comparison with the Lyriq’s 615 horsepower. According to Cadillac, the updated powertrain is capable of a 3.5-second sprint to 60 mph. Range is down from the non-V—an unfortunate side effect of adding 219 ponies to the equation. According to Cadillac, the 85.0-kWh battery pack is good for an estimated 275 miles of range, or 25 fewer than the standard model.
Though certainly quick in a straight line, Cadillac says it doesn’t just have a one-trick pony on its hands. During a video call with media, Alex Doss, the Optiq-V’s lead engineer, told reporters that GM developed the performance model to be a canyon carver. That means six-piston Brembo front brakes, quicker steering, a retuned suspension, and Continental Sport Contact 6 summer tires.
Are there really people out there clamoring for this nonsense?
No one needs 615 horsepower on the street.
I dont believe a single word of the range claims on any of the electric cars. Whatever they are claiming I am guessing real world driving would give you about 1/3 of that. Granted I have not tried any of them.
Yep. Gas cars use perfect world tests for mileage and so do electric. Real world range is 100% different.
Also, horsepower. Very few people understand what that means and the sellers count on that.
If you are going compare gas/electric cars there is also the element of battery life. From the tools I have used battery life declines rapidly. So you say your car gets 275 miles per charge, what about when it is two years old and has 65K miles on it? How much is a new battery?
Because nothing says “canyon carver” like a 5500-pound CUV with limited range.
“5500-pound”
I blame the government.
MAKE AUTOMOBILES DANGEROUS AGAIN!
Relevant to the interests of some of the console peasants here:

I have found that I can do both PC and Console.
But this offering does not elicit any interest from me.
