Regarding the Beavis and Butthead link above, I was reminded of this scene.
I am excited by a new Beavis and Butthead movie!
That’s a great scene.
I kinda like my ending better though. It’s the one where Lt. Stigler picks up a coffee mug, says, “Well, FML then,” and caves Honecker’s fucking skull in, and Honecker spends the next forty years needing someone to wipe his ass for him.
I’ve never been accused of being a forgiving sort.
OK, so, I don’t see any reference at all to CRT in the B&B trailer. Did they alter it?
Oh, I see, you have to follow the twitter link
Here you go.
That last line kills me
That’s a good scene.
Skull and Bones sounds like Sea of Thieves with more realistic graphics.

Full-grown orcas can be over 30 feet long and weigh over 7 tons, according to Whale and Dolphin Conservation. Orcas hunt in packs and eat a range of prey, including seals and dolphins, but also sharks and squids.
I would posit that as apex predators, they eat whatever they want and can manage to catch.
And whatever you do, don’t piss one off.
mmmCharlotte. (back in the day)
While fishing in the Gulf of Alaska we motored alongside a pod of 28 orcas for a while. It was both awesome and frightening at the same time. One of them came at us broadside before diving under the boat at the last second.
Were you targeting ling cod or salmon, or just fishing for the halibut?
All of the above, but we mostly got big ‘buts.
You like big ‘buts and you cannot lie.
I’ve had one take a 30+ pound salmon right off my line. I just said, “you’re welcome, MF”. And that was the last strike of the day. When the lion is around, all the gazelles head for the thick brush.
Earlier, we learned that Cleveland’s school board removed the names of three problematic men from school buildings. Will they get around to changing the name of the city itself? Apparently, founder Moses Cleveland plied some natives with whiskey and lied to them about the treaty status of the land he coveted. I wonder if any person could withstand a determined investigation by the easily offended?
Point of order. Moses’ name was Cleaveland, the city name is different due to the full last name not fitting on a newspaper masthead. So it’s already been changed!
When I found the capital of the new world post-First That Will change Everything, any abbreviation of my name and titles will be punishable by death.
I accept your terms, Bro.
Technically, the name of the newspaper which appears at the top of the first page, often in a large display typeface, is known as the “nameplate.”
Don’t tell the brewery. 🙂
I won’t. It’s a frequently-made mistake.
Chair appreciates the Point of Order correcting Chair’s typing mistake. Lots of cities and towns need name changes: Richmond KY and Richmond IN glorify the capital of the Slavocracy. Dallas TX is named after Polk’s vice president who advocated annexing all of Mexico. Jackson, MS. no comment needed. Jefferson City, MO, Washington, D.C.
And what about Harriet Tubman? She kept traveling in the slave states even after Top. Men. advised moral citizens to boycott the South.
If it makes you feel better, there have already been several attempts to try to force a rename of Columbus, Ohio.
Happy Friday, Riven!
And thanks for the lynx. The orca one is amazing.
Health freaks.
Love the B&B clip. I laugh my ass off every time Beavis says “we’re subverting existing paradigms”. I may actually have to watch the whole thing.

It’s a holiday weekend, rather then the normal constrained waiting room Zoom, I present to you.
The Holiday Weekend Zoom/Happy Hour/Cookout Decompress open meeting. I’ll do my best to drop in to make sure it’s at least still active at 20:00 Eastern all weekend, but make no promises. Other then that, it’ll be up as long as people remember not to click the End Meeting For All button if they’re the host.
It’s beer o’clock
Thanks, Neph.
Don’t make me host. Or Spud.
“No,Spud! No, don’t end the meeting! You’re hos…”
Good times.
If I’ve got this set up correctly, there shouldn’t need to be a host. Consider this a trial run for the end of the month.
OK, I’m in, solo. It doesn’t say I’m the host.
I love being the only one in the hot tub. I get to make the rules. NO SUITS!
Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

No suits sounds good until you realize there are no libertarian women.
I’m pretty sure that’s uncalled for.
I’m dying from the ‘vid, let me have my fun.
I went to the State Monopoly Liquor Store today and got some RC Cola at the gas station, so I shall be in fine fettle. Hopefully tomorrow I can have a fire (thunderstorm going through now and soaking everything)
Did you get Moon Pies to go with the RC?
I didn’t know you were a Montanan! (Kalispell here) Enjoy the Kettlhouse, looks like a fun show
Kettlehouse makes one of my all time fav beers, Cold Smoke. That stuff is awesome (and hard to find outside Montana).
I hope you take advantage of visiting one of the local hot springs for a soak. Lolo is commercial or just pass into Idaho and there are several great wild hot springs. The concert looks like it will be fun as well.

Who said you could do that?
SpaceX’s satellite-based internet business, Starlink, now has approval from the US government to expand its service to planes, ships, automobiles, RVs and other mobile vehicles.
——-
The regulatory approval, handed down from the Federal Communications Commission on Thursday, also grants SpaceX the ability to expand its service to trains, ships, and other vehicles, opening up a broad swath of potential corporate customers. The company has also already been advertising its services for RV drivers.
Praise the government. Without them we’d be lost.
“Thank you for your blessing sire!”

My Grandma used to use the word “wee” for that. I always thought it was quaint.
Driving across Montana. Man, I love that part of the country…maybe next summer land-hunting….have fun.
Dean – saw your comment late – this chili recipe includes cumin (never realized that was what I was smelling in taco meat till now), coriander, chili powder, paprika and cocoa powder.
That sounds like a good, solid chili blend.
Guess the most interesting thing about this recipe is that I only added the kidney beans (light and dark) about 2 minutes before I finished – just enough to mix them in and let them heat up – guess it keeps them from getting soggy – esp on a 5 hour stew. But I’ve always done it in a 20min or so stovetop thing before…about to give it a shot.
cue all the chili people screaming “no beans!”…
Not I. Chili full of beans and peppers and onions is good.
beans, meat, tomatoes, celery, onion.
And a shit ton of cumin, paprika, chili powder, and fresh and dried hot peppers.
Ok, thankfully that turned out VERY well. At least since I have rice to soak some up, and beer. Just the right amount of spice – not too much and definitely not too little.
Unfortunately I was definitely light on the salt – “salt/pepper to taste” is always difficult for me trying to adjust with dipping spoons in to test periodically.
Should be able to adjust that easier in some of the leftovers though.
Good job!
Getting salt level right takes practice – I’m still not great.
Keep up good work!
British Chili. I enjoy SORTEDfood, but…
Oops, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b2b2hbmquZU
I have a chili recipe my Dad got from a local San Francisco restaurant that he and his fellow submariners frequented when he lived there. Lots of cumin.
Cumin rocks, and is a large component of Mexican, Latin American, Spanish, Portuguese and Indian cuisine.
And the cocoa powder in a good chili is a classic move.
Two thumbs up.
I know exactly how you feel. I like to cumin everything I can. Even many things that the close minded people around here wouldn’t dare. Italian, Chinese, Japanese, North African, South African. I’ll even bring them all together and cumin them all at once. You might say I’ll cumin the whole melting pot.
“I like to cumin everything I can.”
phrasing?
Don’t encourage him
Why did I just have a flashback to college?
Does the word “dumpster” excite you?
Not any more.
Avatar checks out.
*applause*
Yeah, cumin is weird. I just think “meat” even when I taste it by itself.
And it’s even better when it’s roasted and smoked. 😋
Try throwing whole cumin in a hot pan, remove the pan from heat, then grind it.
Plenty of vegetarian food has cumin.
I have two uses for it in rice and it tastes entirely different in each. Maybe a 1/2 tsp in a rice steamer with jasmine rice for a Thai style, or with the rest of the fixings (chicken stock, sauteed rice & onion, tomato sauce and peas) for Mexican arroz amarillo.
There is also a spice called “black cumin” or kala jeera that isn’t related to cumin but can be used in its place if you’re not a fan of regular cumin.
I use lots of Indian (dot) spices in my chili, which makes it quite different from Tex-Mex chili but has won a few cookoffs. And an Egyptian guy I worked with even wanted the recipe!
Recipe? For Chili?
Add ingredients that might be in there until you look and go “Yeah that looks like enough”. Cook low and slow.
I know! I told him there wasn’t a recipe, per se, but I did provide an ingredient list and a few techniques like at what stage of the process I add certain things.
One of my oddballs is to add pickled green peppercorns. I love them in my “Asian” inspired chili!

That was also a deleted scene from the movie.
DeSantis should invite some orcas to start patrolling the waters off the Florida coast for common-sense shark control.
Aren’t orcas black and white…same as the swastika emblem? See. See.
So did the predator give up because it was sleepy?
That sounds like bullshit. Can any of you ocean peeps confirm?
I’ve heard that as well. If a shark is already attacking me, I’ll try it. However, I think I would much rather not be within arm’s reach of a shark in the wild, nor put in a position where my survival requires me to accurate punch it in an area directly above lots and lots of teeth.
Stay close to home and you’ll be fine.

When I have been diving around a bunch of great whites the divemaster carried a bang stick claiming that a pop to the nose would take care of any aggression so must be true. Of course all of the resulting blood in the water would probably make the situation much worse so I am very happy to have never seen it in action.
Let me check with my buddy, Lefty.

Huh. I expected ugly with blue hair.
I strongly suspect she’s only “bisexual” because it’s fashionable. She’d go non-binary or tranny, but she still wants to doll herself up all purty.

I used to laugh at people who said that the schools, media, etc were hell-bent on turning kids against their parents. It isn’t so funny anymore.
Not sure if L0b0t will be linking to it again in the forum, but looks like Vinegar Syndrome has another classic russkie film up for preorder (ships July 26). Directed by Ptushko just like Ilya Muromets – just preordered it myself. Looks great.
https://vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/deaf-crocodile/products/sampo-deaf-crocodile
Really hope they also do Sadko eventually (only a lousy quality Russian DVD available to date) – this director really has an eye for spectacle and it’s great seeing practical and in-camera effects from the other side of the iron curtain.
Looks like they literally just posted the restored trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvDsfaaykEw – forgot to note that it was a Russo-Finnish co-production.
A few years ago there was a study of the great whites off the coast of Cali that discovered when orcas were within miles, the great white population – all of them tagged by this group of researchers– booked it out of the area, some going thousands of miles, and didn’t come back for months. This behavior was recorded even when the pod was just passing through.
I don’t remember if it was the same study, but there was a report that a specific pod had learned to turn sharks onto their backs, which causes the shark to go into torpor and the orcas can eat them at their leisure. Which would be terrifying, so I can definitely understand why a shark would want to gtfo.
Yep, that’s a pretty awful way to go.
Orcas are the shit. Marauding gangs that just do whatever shit they want.
Kind of like living in Philly
And they’re in black & white livery, like another roving gang of thugs we’re familiar with!

Some very nice federalism comments by Charlie CW Cooke in the 4th of July Editors podcast – https://www.nationalreview.com/podcasts/the-editors/episode-447-o-say-can-you-see/

Speaking of NR, just read that Andrew McCarthy – whom I had thought of as a respectable writer – slobbered all over that chick who lied to the show trial the other day. Oops.

Lotsa zeros in the NCS column today, I mean forget the Tundra Line Split we split the Chump/No Chump line today. The rest of the numbers aren’t even worth mentioning.
This Week in Quordle and Tourney news – Not Adahn may be humanities last hope, he edged out Quordlebot for the top player of the week honors 19.57 to 20.29, now he faces the diabolical binary demon in the Tourney finals, Good Luck We’re all counting on you. TARD is pulled what will henceforth be known as the TARDis he got both the best (15) and the worst (213) scores of the week.
As always here are the weeks stats for those of you keeping track at home.
Finally got my S&W Ladysmith and Ruger LCP ii today. Comes with 10 free days at the range, so I’ll give that range a try. There are several in town so I’ll probably try out a few and then choose one to join on an annual subscription.
The Ruger is so tiny and lightweight! I like that it has a real, honest-to-goodness safety latch.
Anybody have advice on ammo for the two guns? I haven’t bought .22 pistol ammo before, just rifle. And my other 38 is NOT +p so that will be a new foray as well. I’m not obsessed with velocity, just accuracy and good mechanical fit.
Congrats!
You’re gonna have some fun! Planning to carry the S&W?
Also, a booze thread just dropped. You should move this over there!
Thanks!
