We’re doing it again, Mexican Links! Let’s get this little guy out of the way…
Now that I have likely made the links page NSFW, lets get to the links!
While on his way to the G-20 summit, a member of Brazillian Trump’s entourage was detained in Spain for transporting 39 Kilos of cocaine–that’s 86 pounds for those of you with no conception of a kilo. No, Brett has nothing to do with this.
Brett is involved with this. An Italian Mafia boss escaped from a Uruguayan prison.
This is the “other” photo from the border igniting the latest round of outrage:

Members of the Islamic State were arrested in Nicaragua. They just apprehended them due to a DHS warning sent to their immigration agency.
There’s a saying regarding swimming with sharks, isn’t there? An idiom, or colloquialism of sorts?
In an effort to show how stupid ideas are an international phenomenon; fashion designer Carolina Hererra is being accused of cultural appropriation in Mexico. Mexico, as in the Mexican government, not just randos on the Mexican Internet. Yes, they have the internet there.

Damn it. Trust me it’s a funny pic
You would think even the greenest reporter would be curious why there are African immigrants in Mexico.
It’s outrageous and racist to call those countries shitholes, and we totally can’t expect anyone to actually live in those countries, because they’re such shitholes.
MS: Not everyone can be as entertaining discussing what he/she unintentionally found online (or in your case sometimes from reading The New York Times) in their “internet rabbit hole.” You also manage to work in a review of one or more ales or beers into your “beer reviews.” Exception: Apr 27, 2019 when the reviews of the beverages came almost without content that was not part of reviewing the beverages.
It would be dishonest to call it a “beer review” if no beer is reviewed, and even if it is only part of each article, you do deliver.

There’s a saying regarding swimming with sharks, isn’t there? An idiom, or colloquialism of sorts-
If you’ve ever swam in the ocean, you have swam with sharks, you just didn’t see them.
“Swim with the sharks, get yo ass bit.”
Word.
Meh, I have scuba dived and swam with sharks plenty and only was bit once…
Wait, I think I just actually validated this thing..
Damn!
Never mind.
That’s it? No, Jugsy or first wife story? I’m disappointed.
“she was ‘a devoted animal lover and climate change advocate'”
I’m pretty sure her family meant, she was an advocate for doing something to combat climate change. Yeah, they’re grieving but that phrase is becoming irritating.
I’m an advocate for global warming. If it gets hot enough, maybe all these Yankees will go home.
Nope. They’ll just complain more. “It’s SO HOT!! And HUMID!! I’m turning the thermostat down another two degrees. By the way, your power plants emit too much carbon”
Seen on a bumper sticker: Why do they call it “Tourist Season” if you can’t shoot them?
I hated the tourists in NYC too. Get the fuck out of the way Jethro. Yes the building is tall and there are many lights!

“you have swam with sharks, you just didn’t see them”
I had I biology professor once say, if you’ve been hiking at all in Utah, a cougar has seen you, you just never saw it.
In the case of sharks they will have smelled you. Their sight sucks, but they can pick up a trail miles away and follow it to a tasty tourist.

Someone here mentioned that they buy insurance when they travel out of the country. Seems sensible.
Through whom do you buy it?
Semi-shameless plug.
Thank you!
Is this your company?
maybe
Pronounced “Star racist”, I assume. :-p
Would this policy cover an Expert Sex Change?
You just wrote AT&T’s next “when good enough isn’t good enough” ad.
Wait, wut?
You mean there are people who don’t buy insurance when they’re traveling out-of-country?
That’s just nuts.
It would never cross my mind to buy insurance for traveling out of country, I’ve only done it twice and, as far as I know, never bought any. Both were package deals and maybe insurance was a built in cost.
Never even occurred to me. I have so fucking much insurance now, I didn’t realize there were policies I didn’t own.
The only insurance I ever bought was mandated by the govt or through my job. It would never occur to me to buy insurance otherwise
And anybody who buys insurance in blackjack is a pussy
And bad at math.
I was at this casino near Ocean City MD that redealt via one of those auto shufflers after every hand. Brutal.
Also if you are booking a package they offer insurance as well. That will cover you if you have issues with the air.
I’ve bought trip insurance before, but thought it was only for the flight.
It probably is. It won’t evacuate you in a medical emergency.
For international it is usually available.
Meaning medical
That was me. Its been awhile since I travelled out of the country (not including Canada or just over the border in Mexico), but I’ve used Global Rescue.
I’ve purchases medial insurance for one vacation in England and Ireland and other vacation in Singapore. All the international travel I did for the company made it clear that the company would responsible for us if he got sick or injured and not my personal medical insurance.
It’s been along time, but I am pretty sure those policies included repatriation.
GoFundMe is modern insurance.
I normally get my travel insurance through AMEX Canada.It’s awesome coverage, and surprisingly cheap to boot.I think the only thing they don’t cover is a direct hit by SMOD, on the assumption that you’ll have bigger things to worry about, I guess…
Never saw sharks while swimming but I did see a 6 foot Barracuda sizing me up from about 40 feet away once. I did have the weight advantage but as I was in ~20 feet of water at the time it was his home turf so I just slowly swam away while never taking my eyes off him

In regards to the outcry over the Mexican National Guard stopping Central American migrants, I think we should just assist the migrants all the way to Canada. Any complaints should be met with derision for being heartless Canadians.
…and then the Canadians escort them to Greenland?
Alaska.
And then across to Russia.
Then we escort them over the north pole then back to the southern tip of Argentina.
That’s up to them. Maybe across the Arctic to Russia.
Seriously, why is the US obligated to take everyone?
IT’S TIME FOR CANADA TO STEP UP
How about all those empty cities in China?
Why do you think Canadians are against global warming? They want to hoard all that living space to themselves

I prefer it that way. Mexican music triggers a Pavlovian desire for chips and salsa, and good chips and salsa is not good for my waistline.

A little disappointed that the picture for these links is not the one with that cute brunette singing the Mexican national anthem. Such is life
I could do with some of those gorgeous Mexican weathergirls
That too. Mexico is a land of wonder. And brutal cartels that chop off the heads of anyone who stands in their way. But, also pretty ladies
Pretty ladies who don’t age well. Fine if you can swap them for fresh ones every 4 years or so.
I have never heard of a Mexican hooker demanding a long term contract. What part do you travel to for sex tourism?
I need travel no farther than reading HM’s links.
Mexi provides travel insurance in case the hooker you choose online has a picture that is more than four years old.
Absolutely true. Living near the border in Yuma, you could see the entire lifecycle of a Mexican girl’s attractiveness, from stunning young ladies to frumpy, tubby mommas with a bunch of rugrats within about 10 years.
Having 5 babies in 10 years would account for that.
Look at some pics of upper moneyed Mexican women and it will show that that phenomenon isn’t ethnic nor DNA.

“An Italian Mafia boss escaped from a Uruguayan prison.”
Despite what CNN believes, the Ndrangheta is not the Mafia. There are significant differences (least of which being their structure, the informal rules, and the times of criminal activities they engage in). Also, the Camorra is not like the Mafia and not every organized crime outfit is just like the Godfather. I was also disappointed to find out about this when I lived in Europe for a little while.
🙁
*types of criminal activities
I cannot write or spell or make sense.
From my brief understanding escaping Uruguayan prison is not a feat.
I’m sure it’s nothing like a Turkish prison. I hear that “UR-Gay” is a lovely place, though
Beautiful if you get out of Montevideo. Even the city has its nice parts, but the true beauty is in the country.
Have you ever been in a Turkish prison, Jimmy?
The Ndrangheta are a REAL family, right? As in, you have to be an actual blood relative of a member to join yourself?
If I recall, that’s more of the Camorra which is like loose clans. But, it’s probably true for the Ndrangheta too. Naples is like the slums of Italy is how it was explained to me and that’s why the Camorra holds sway. The cosa nostra is a rural phenomenon of Sicily that expanded into the cities after the war. More like an invisible government in a region where government authorities were arbitrary and distant. Whereas the Camorra is a purely urban phenomenon. More similar to street gangs.
All this shit is from the south of Italy, which validates all the nasty things my Parma-native great-grandfather said about southern Italians (I’m told he said, anyway).
I guess. The “mezzogiorno” has long been an unruly place because the Turks were indifferent to ruling over the area as were the Bourbons as was Rome, until Mussolini came along and virtually wiped out the mafia. Then the Americans came in saw all these mafiosi in jail, had no idea who they were, and assumed they were political prisoners. Then the Americans installed a lot of these mafiosi in government positions believing that they were anti-fascists since they hated the fascists. And so on and so on and so on.
Sicilian men are just like the movies, though. Quiet and always listening.

Not that I can find. The only wiring I touched were the 2 power connections for the motor.
I suppose the start/capacitor could have failed, but that would be very coincidental.
I can’t tell which part is euphemisms.
Ndrangheta controls everything.
Extremely vicious and powerful and influential.
They make the cartels, Cosa Nosta, Camorra and other mafias look like pikers.

I like Scott Adams’ framing of the immigration issue. He say’s it’s a question of who decides who gets to enter the US. Does the US government decide who gets to come in? Or do other countries, and the immigrants themselves, decide who we let in?
It has been very obvious to me that the US government – the bureaucracy and the elites – have decided that they want to replace the current population with one that is more grateful for the crumbs they throw at them than the current flock of ingrates.
…Bertolt Brecht
It’s really just a slight-of-hand, global wealth redistribution effort. We have wealth. The immigrants do not. Lure the world’s poor to the US. Poor imigrant problem solved.

FaceBank won’t solve all problems for all people. BAN IT.
Libra solves only the less popular reasons people don’t have bank accounts. About a quarter of respondents said banks’ high and unexpected fees were at least part of why they didn’t have accounts; distance to a bank was a barrier for another 20 percent. So these people would seem to be Libra’s target audience.
There’s sort of a subtle hitch here, though: to use Libra, you have to buy Libra. I’m not the first to notice it; the Financial Times’ Brendan Greeley has written about the same issue. The papers themselves seem to be considering their end user to be someone like me, a lady with a bank account and a credit card. The process of converting to Libra is described pretty much how I would experience it: you log on and give them your credit card number or bank account number.
Problem is, people who do not have banks do not have bank account numbers and they may not have credit cards, either. They have cash. “There’s nothing about how Libra will lower fees to convert fiat cash into Libra money, which is both the essential challenge of consumer banking and an explicit part of Libra’s problem statement,” Greeley writes. “Check-cashing places charge hideous fees, but they’re willing, on demand, to turn physical checks into physical cash, and physical cash into transfers.”
Stupid whiny article. I never made it to the end. Maybe he goes all in on Liz Warren’s USPS bank. Because what could possibly go wrong?
Having a currency owned by a Corp is fundamentally opposed to the idea of bitcoin.
Who cares. Bitcoin failed the market test.
Blockchain-based distributed ledges, and other currencies that work off them, have had much better success.
Bitcoin can reside on the neckbeard of history alongside people that insist its called GNU/Linux and use Libreboot.
Whatever crypto u want, a big selling point is that it isn’t controlled by any government or corp
A big selling point for cryptocurrency has been the public’s strong and enduring ignorance of how it works.
All the utopian coins have failed, and the distributed ledgers that are actually in use are either completely private and thus completely controlled, or they are strongly managed by their founding organization that took them from private to ICO.
The exchange rate is usually not controlled by fiat, but there’s a lot more to control that that. And even then, in many cases, it could be because a group of coordinators could easily control 50.1% of the computing power in many networks.
I’ll bite then. Which cryptocurrency is being widely adopted in non speculative fashion, but as a medium of exchange.
“Bitcoin failed the market test.”
Current valuation would suggest otherwise.
I think one of the market tests for currency is adoption and use. BitCoin hasn’t done particularly well on that front.
Get back to me when people start using it for anything other than pure speculation.
I thought people were using it for money laundering and remittance payments too.
In that the conversion fees are less than using Western Union.
People are not only dumb enough to give Facebook vast amounts of personal information about themselves and those they know; they’re stupid enough to trust Mark Zuckerberg with their money and let him monitor how they spend it.
On the one hand, more forms of currency are great.
On the other hand, FaceBook deciding who is allowed to engage in commerce? OH HELL NO!
It’s kinda weird watching Mexican NG stopping people from leaving Mexico given it’s not a communist state.
Really messed up.
What a mess.
It’s like the have a wall…and the Mexicans are paying for it
Are those people automatically assumed to be wanting to gain illegal access into the USA?
As opposed to traveling from Guatemala for a picnic on the banks of the Rio Grande?
When Trump came out with that line, my kids asked me if Mexico was really going to pay for the wall. And I said no, but it does show an understanding that enforcing the border is going to require Mexico’s help. I dunno, maybe that’s giving Trump too much credit. Maybe it was just a throwaway campaign line. But it does seem to fit his modus operandi.
I figured he was just setting the anchor for future negotiations. He never really expected them to pay, but by setting the anchor so far out he was more likely to get what he wanted.
Yes, exactly.
Mexico is doing what the US asked and the Mexican people are demanding (according to polls). You can’t fault them for not enforcing their side of the border and then fault them for defending their side of the border. Mexico is in a tough spot here
I get that but people are free to emigrate no?
The people they are stopping are in Mexico illegally, too, and are subject to arrest for that reason, not for trying to leave.
Ah. That changes things.
Then I get why it’s being done.
Mexico is brutal in enforcing their own borders to the South.
Well then where are all these people coming from?
They’re getting overwhelmed. I may be wrong, but Mexico already has a tenuous hold on their southern regions, particularly in the Chiapas region where the Zapitista uprising happened in the 90’s. I may be completely wrong, though, as I often am.
You know who else had a tenuous hold on their southern regions?
My hold on my southern regions has always been firm, thank you very much.
Hell, according to that map that circulated recently, the Mexican government doesn’t really control much more than about 30% of the country.
the Mexican government doesn’t really control much more than about 30% of the country.
And when Mexico becomes a failed state and goes into a Venezuela-style collapse, how many Mexicans are going to head north? Venezuela has had more than 10% of its population flee. The comparable percentage for Mexico would be 13 million or more.
Its the one thing that gives me pause about living in Tucson. When that happens, Tucson is likely going to stop being a pleasant American city, and turn into something much less pleasant and much less American.
And deport more Central Americans the United States.

It’s kinda weird watching Mexican NG stopping people from leaving Mexico given it’s not a communist state.
I assume they will figure out its much easier to stop them at their southern border.
And that there will be far fewer of them when the NGOs who are facilitating this are shut down.
Bingo. What Trump has done is create an incentive for Mexico to put those groups out of business within their borders and enforce their own southern border.
NGOs are menacing. The Italian government has had enough of them (particularly a German NGO who pick up migrants in North Africa and dump them off on Italian shores despite being warned to stop doing it). Salvini cut them off.
Those people are repulsive. They don’t give a wet shit about any of the people crossing the border – they know how dangerous and unpleasant it is, but they’ll keep pushing people to try to cross because it suits their political aims. The would-be migrants themselves are nothing more than pawns to them.
Weaponized pawns. They’re (NGO’s) seeking to destroy the countries they are delivering them to.
^This, if accurate. I am curious that nobody is looking into the logistics behind tens of thousands of migrants crossing Mexico every month.
I am curious that nobody is looking into the logistics behind tens of thousands of migrants crossing Mexico every month.
In Mexico, because they were making money on the migrants.
In the US, because the FBI and DOJ don’t give a shit about illegal immigration, and the Border Patrol doesn’t have the tools to go after them, especially their international activities. Good sized chunks of the administrative state are on board with the migrants; if anything it gives them a reason for empire building.
Such news on the subject as I have seen assumes the throngs of migrants are fed with Manna dropped on them at night by God. This Manna is a miraculous nutrient that is 100% digestible, so the Creator doesn’t even have to bother with Portapotties or other means of sanitation.
Shine a bright bright spotlight onto the NGOs and their backers. Of course the MSM will ignore it and still pretend it’s all spontaneous.

My wife became a Yankees fan back in the 1990s. She began watching it when I left for Europe and got hooked with the dream team. 22 years later, we took in a Yankees game and she bee-lined to the shop to buy a cap. Nice one too. Black with the pink logo.
IOW, your wife is a ridiculous front-runner. Let me guess, she became a Lakers fan too at that point?
(j/k)
Meh. Coming on 25 years liking the Yankees. She just liked them. While she’s no hardcore sports fanatic, she’s pretty loyal to her team. So no. The whole thing was fairly organic.
I was born into the life. The earliest memory of my entire life is my dad going apeshit with rage when George Brett hit what turned out to be the game winning homer to complete the Royals’ sweep of the 1980 ALCS.

The average age of cars and trucks in the U.S. just hit 11.8 years, according to an Associated Press story via Autoblog, and it makes a lot of sense if you’ve got a vehicle from around 2007 in the garage (or in the driveway, or parked on the street). That nearly 12-year average is a new record, the story said, and it’s up from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s numbers showing an average 9.3 of years in 2009 and 10.5 years in 2017.
————
IHS Markit said one of the reasons people are fine with older and older cars is because they’re built better than cars considered “old” 12 years ago would have been, allowing owners to feel more comfortable about keeping them on the road longer. Another reason is one that we’re all familiar with: Original owners are keeping their cars longer and maintaining them better, because those terribly long financing periods require it.
Huh. People with underwater car loans don’t/can’t trade them in on a new ride larded up with stupid unnecessary shit every three years?
I never saw that coming.
Vehicles have gotten prohibitively expensive to boot.
That said, I’m approaching the point where my vehicles are becoming a problem and will have to upgrade before long.
When we bought our Tahoe, it had been fifteen years since I had bought a vehicle. That was a pretty stunning revelation when it comes to sticker shock and technology.
It’s insane. The fact that you can’t find many reliable cars in the $5k price range is 100% a legacy of Obama. Thanks asshole, now the used dependable car market starts around $7k now.
I got mine for under $5k. But it was $2k more than I payed for a comparable car just 2yrs ago (of course, that one died in two years, so maybe the extra 2k is worth it?).
At least 1k of that is inflation.
And ever since the mind-boggling stupid Cash for Clunkers, the prices on used cars have been high too, so yeah, I’m driving my shitty beater until the wheels fall off.
I think prices were sticky and we were undervaluing used cars, and I think cash4clunkers was an exogenous shock that un-stuck them. It was a decade ago. At some point, we can’t blame higher used car prices on it any more…
The average transaction price of a new car is something like $36K. That’s completely fucked.
Also, cars are appliances now that, treated properly, can easily go 200K miles.
If I were a new car dealer, I’d be nervous.
My dealer has started calling me every couple of months to remind me what a great deal I can get by trading in my 4 year old SUV and buying a new one.
Last time they called, I said I was never going to trade in my Xterra now that they stopped making them.
My daughter is still driving the 17yo Xterra I bought new in the summer 2002.
I get contacted all the time from the dealer wanting our 2015. I politely told him NFW. I also have a 2005 and a 2007 that have a lot of life left.
The price difference between a luxury brand and what used to be mass market brands has compressed as well, although there’s a bit of variability depending on which segment you’re looking at. But it’s possible to drive off in a BMW SUV for less than a F150.
True, but you’ll be able to drive off a lot more often in the F150.
If only the government would step in and do something about all those clunkers.
My truck will be 10 years old in October. It runs fine. Why would I waste money on a new vehicle? Also the gen 2 Tacoma is superior to the gen 1 & gen 3. Prove me wrong.
I’d say in general cars 10-20 years old are better made than the current crop. Or rather, they don’t have as much electronics and extra crap whether for features or unnecessary government requirements to fail.
Cars are way, WAY more reliable now than ever before. Every time some new feature fails, it sticks out. But the utter lack of over-heated breakdowns, catastrophic tire failures, etc never get noticed.
*Sad
pepeBastiat face*This is correct.
But it’s also fair to say that today’s cars aren’t meaningful better than they were ten years ago: we’ve been measuring initial quality and warranty in parts per million for two decades.
The routine of four hours’ mechanical to prep a new car for sale is a historical rumor. The quarterly carb tweaks, the valve jobs are gone; many people don’t know that spark plugs might be changed.
Most people buy a car and drive it 100k with nothing more than oil changes, and that has been true for about a decade.
My 2008 Rav4 was in beautiful shape till I was rear ended in 2015. Multiple moves, cross country drives, etc. My 2012 preowned Rav4 (current) is a joy and I hope to drive it till it dies. Granted I’m slightly paranoid and only take it to the dealer to get the scheduled maintenance stamps every 5k miles, etc – but all I’ve really had to do since I bought it was get new tires and a new battery.
My wife has a 2012 RAV4 and it has been flawless. Not even a serious recall. Great vehicle.
I forget where I heard it, but there was a comment about how reliable cars were nowadays by commenting on the fact that very few people get called anymore to go pick someone up because their car died. And that was back before cell phones, so you had to remember your friend’s numbers, walk to a pay phone, have quarters to feed it, and hope someone was willing to pick you up so you could get home.
Btdt, or knock on a strangers door and ask to use their phone. No pay phones out in the country.
Yes, they have the internet there.
I’m more surprised about this than the retarded accusation of cultural appropriation*.

I’m sitting in a Florida Bar meeting where an executive committee (of which I’m a part) just rejected the formation of a cannabis law committee because pot bad.
I was sure this would work, since the motion for the vote was made at 4:20.
Now they’re badmouthing the Janus (mandatory union dues) case because the (mandatory) bar gives soooo many benefits. Which it does, which is why it should be able to stand on its own feet.
They’re lawyers. What did you expect?
No offense to our resident legal eagles.

My father-in-law had asked me for help finding a *used* truck last year. I couldn’t believe how high the prices were.
Truck prices are absolutely nuts. You can’t find a pickup for less than 30 grand. Even used trucks…..my dad has a 15 year old Tacoma and he could probably get 15-20 grand for it.
Got a used 2016 Pilot with 38K for about $14k less than a new one and it will have to disintegrate whilst driving before I buy another new car.
Dear Bill de Blasio:
The commie stuff may work elsewhere, but quoting Che Guevara in Miami is *not* a good idea.
https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/bill-de-blasio-quotes-che-guevara-in-miami-11206431
Wow. That quote should be preserved.
I hear the Bolivian army were happy to kill the fucker.
And yes, both Guevara and deBlasio are assholes. Is it too much to hope that deBlasio and his illegal thug detail get overwhelmed and curb stomped in someplace where they don’t belong?
LOL! What a dumbass.

Sharks are dangerous wild animals. If you want to see a real bear, tiger, shark, whatever in person, you either go to an aquarium/zoo/whatever or you take proper precautions.

Another photo of a parent and child near the river that divides the United States and Mexico has sparked an outcry — online and in halls of power.
I am sure there is no more context to the image. (which isn’t particularly bad in the first place.)
Well, I think the Mexicans only stopped part of the family. The rest got across. I don’t see any mention of them coming back, either. Which is . . . interesting priorities, if you ask me.
They’re trying to turn it into the new version of the dead kid on the beach in Italy or wherever that was.
Not totally OT: I represent kids in juvenile cases whose parents -or at least one – are across the border.
Not sure who got deported, when , or why. But it doesn’t matter, because now the kiddo – who got here legally at some point – is busy committing crimes but under 17 so it’s in juvie court. So the issue sometimes has been: send the kid back to Mexico?
Heh, heh. The Brazilian coke story reminds me of a nite years ago when I was living there. My buddy and I owned a VW Bug together and he was trying to bang some hot chick. She wanted some blow so he asked one of his Italian buddies. The Italian said we had to make a little drive. So all four of us hop in the Bug and I proceed to drive us to a favela up the side of a hill. The Bug barely made it to the top, I thought I’d have to have them get out it was so steep.
At the top we drive through the favela and we come to a house with a field next to it. “Drive in there” the Italian tells me. As I pull in I see there are five or six Military Police lounging next to their patrol car smoking. One has a pretty nifty automatic rifle out. “Jesus, lets get the fuck out of here!” I say. “No, relax man, those guys are protecting the operation.” So we go through the drive through behind a couple other cars and they get their product and we head off into the night.
My buddy ended up not getting laid and I laughed my ass off at him later.
The Italian got the girl?
My buddy was Eye-talian as well, so that night no Italians got lucky. I got piss drunk and laughed at them all tho.

Don – OT question. I was curious as I got into my car today with a cabin temperature of 104F. When I set the cabin to 70F how do you deal with the hysteresis with the fan speed. You obviously don’t want to run it a 100% until the temp hits 70F. It will both be noisy as hell and overshoot. OTH, if the cabin was only 80F I’d imagine the fan curve profile would be completely different. No need for 100% initially.
Thanks!
OSA (outside air) full fan until inside is cooler than OSA, then flip to recirc. Overshooting is trivial, but yes there’s a Newton Rapsom damping at the end. When inside hit a setpoint, back to OSA. If you have variable compressor, you modulate there off evap pressure.
Thanks!

The point is to look at better alternatives. The SCS was a losing proposition from day 1 given the current geopolitics.
To be honest I’m not too familiar with the options but if seasteading ever becomes a viable libertarian (or whatever political philosophy) alternative to being under a government’s thumb I could see it being put to a stop pretty quickly. It’s an interesting concept though.
Ugh. No offense, but taking stuff like seasteading seriously gives libertarians a bad name.
Hypothetically, unless the seastead is in the Arctic, Antarctic, off the coast of the United States of America, or within three miles of HM Fort Roughs (the Principality of Sealand), it is going to be within somebody’s “exclusive economic zone” or “territorial waters.” Hypothetically, it will be invaded unless the seasteader can deter it (Chinese military, WMDs, etc.) or they make a deal (as was attempted vis-à-vis French Polynesia). Hypothetically, said deal would involve a land-based nation getting paid. Hypothetically, if buying Sealand meant saving much in taxes on profits made on land and/or taxes on spending done on land, wouldn’t it have been bought by now? Hypothetically, an Antarctic seastead would have to include someone engaged in an activity intended for academic publication, but that could be feminist intersectionality of pre-Industrial Revolution art. AFAIK, the United States government never ratified the treaty that recognizes “exclusive economic zones.” AFAIK, Trump Administration policy is not to recognize other nation’s “exclusive economic zones.” So whether or not the US or other countries would recognize a seastead as intruding on the US’ national sovereignty is an unanswered question. IIRC, there are negotiations underway that are predicted to lead to comprehensive reform of the legal situation in the Arctic, lead to nothing except some language about climate change that the US will not sign off on, or something less than comprehensive.
As a concept? Interesting in an academic sense.
As something to spend real resources pursuing? A waste. Won’t happen. You’d need a Navy (and probably nukes) to keep it from being taken out by the nation-states.

The pre-election crackdown continues: Twitter Will Put Warning Labels On Rule-Breaking Trump Tweets
The tech companies are begging to get smacked down now, it’s quite a sight to see.
Safeguard?
Safe from what?
Four more years of Orangegutan.
It must be absolutely galling for them to know that they helped get Trump elected, and that they can’t risk banning him from Twitter now. But they’ll do what they can for the cause.
I mean, I don’t think they can legally ban him, now that his Twitter account has been elevated to Petitioning The Government.
But, he won by a hair last time, and big tech may have figured out where they fucked up.
“Twitter will slap WARNING LABELS on ‘abusive’ tweets from politicians and limit how many people see them in new policy rolled out just one day after Trump accused platform of censoring him”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7189223/Twitter-slap-WARNING-LABELS-abusive-Trump-tweets-considers-abusive-limit-reach.html
“Our highest priority is to protect the health of the public conversation on Twitter, and an important part of that is ensuring our rules and how we enforce them are easy to understand. In the past, we’ve allowed certain Tweets that violated our rules to remain on Twitter because they were in the public’s interest, but it wasn’t clear when and how we made those determinations. To fix that, we’re introducing a new notice that will provide additional clarity in these situations, and sharing more on when and why we’ll use it.
Serving the public conversation includes providing the ability for anyone to talk about what matters to them; this can be especially important when engaging with government officials and political figures. By nature of their positions these leaders have outsized influence and sometimes say things that could be considered controversial or invite debate and discussion. A critical function of our service is providing a place where people can openly and publicly respond to their leaders and hold them accountable.
With this in mind, there are certain cases where it may be in the public’s interest to have access to certain Tweets, even if they would otherwise be in violation of our rules. On the rare occasions when this happens, we’ll place a notice – a screen you have to click or tap through before you see the Tweet – to provide additional context and clarity. We’ll also take steps to make sure the Tweet is not algorithmically elevated on our service, to strike the right balance between enabling free expression, fostering accountability, and reducing the potential harm caused by these Tweets.”

“Serving the public”
Yup. Cookbook. Etc.
Sure, Jan ?
Technically, he does. Almost anything can violate their rules. In addition to all those who have been banned, it’s had a chilling effect on those who remain. I know plenty of accounts that used to be very active that only post retweets or links to their videos because they’re scared they might say something that gets them kicked off.
Jack Dorsey is a rat punk.
He came off as such when he did his rounds on the internet.
Idea: President Donald J. Trump uses this as an excuse to close his Twitter account and open an account at Gab.com.
It will do for Gab even more than what Alex Jones did for BitChute!
Gresham’s Law — bad money chases out good. Why spend good money, when you cacan let it appreciate. Spend your zimbabwe bucks first.

Never quite understood Gresham. During Am Rev. continental money was next to worthless; merchants wanted British or Spanish or Dutch coinage. During War for Southern Independence, Confederate dollars were worthless next to Yankee dollars and/or gold. Absent government coercion, doesn’t good money drive out bad?

Good grief, I understand Journolist 2.0 declared Warren Was the Winner, but did it have to seep into Canada?
If the Democrats have any spine, they’ll nominate Elizabeth Warren to take on Trump
Norm MacDonald’s lesser brother, of course.
And, for the record, I will re-iterate I consider Democrat candidate to have a slight advantage, and fuck “muh economee”. Yes, even a socialist. I just think it will be Joe instead. If there’s good odds against Trump, I might bet for the first time.
This guy sure has his finger on the pulse of America. If it’s one thing we’re craving, it’s “smash the system”.
And change it she would, into a quasi fascist oppressive helltopia. They’re all bad but she might be literally the worst one.
I think she is easily the worst one, and it’s not even close.
I’m trying to disprove this but I got nothing
I suppose someone could make a case for Deblasio but one of his better qualities is his legendary laziness. Warren combines his instinctual desire for communist principles with a frightening zeal to achieving them.
After three and a half years of PM Zoolander,let me praise the fringe benefits of the reign of a lazy, narcissist blowhard!
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”
― C.S. Lewis
I don’t know if she is easily the worst. It’s picking the tallest midget, regardless.
She is the only legit true believer on the stage. She is a reincarnation of woody Wilson, and would cause a similar course change in American fortunes.
What about de Blasio? He’s been a commie his whole adult life.
Bernie is worse. He’s a true lifelong commie. Warren is just an opportunist. She’d call for executing immigrants if it played to her base
He doesn’t strike me as particularly “vigorous”, though. I think he’d as soon take a catnap as directly oversee the nation’s economy. But yeah, in principle, he’s thoroughly awful.
If Bernie won I couldn’t handle it. An actual true blue commie with no SJW cred to excuse the victory. It would be game over.
He was CBC’s American correspondent for years, I think he knows better!
That’s what blows my mind.
I want a refund. And then a defund.
I think it depends on what system you’re talking about smashing.
The CBC? How is this not foreign interference in our democracy? Time to finally invade Canada.
That’s a pretty a good question.
Not really, Open, honest (in so far as they admit what they are doing) foreign news reporting of our political situation is far from foreign governments trying to influence our political landscape with subversive propaganda and misinformation campaigns.
A) CBC is a government organization
B) I don’t see any meaningful difference between the intent of their misinformation and Russia’s
Its the ‘subversive’ part, CBC, BBC, even RT all are quite open about the fact that they are foreign news outlets putting their spin on the American political scene. When Russia (or whomever) goes under the radar and tries to influence the political process of other countries, well that’s espionage, and yes we do it, they do it, and the birds and the bees do it, but just because its S.O.B. doesn’t mean we (the royal ‘We’, AKA US Govt) shouldn’t’ be concerned with its possible effects on our political process.
As long as they stop their broadcast waves from crossing the border, I have no problem with it.
That article was full of propaganda and misinformation, but I guess it was intended for a Canadian audience.
So invade Israel then?
Meh. At least Russia doesn’t pretend they’re doing it for our own good.
“Time to finally invade Canada.”
Why waste blood and treasure on that shit? It’s too cold.
They can pay us tribute in maple syrup, ice wine, smoked meat, and Montreal whores.
And devalue our own Ice Wine reserves?
Not sure if they still do it, but at least one of the vineyards would accept volunteers to go and help with the harvest after the first freeze. In return you would either get a bottle of last year’s vintage, or be able to come back next year and get a bottle that you helped pick the grapes for.

Ugh. Shark girl is a horrible story. Sounds like they ripped her apart pretty badly. I can’t help but think there is an element of stupidity involved.
A couple of years ago I found a guy with his two small children fishing on my property…fishing in a bayou that is chock full of alligators. Most of them are in the 1-5 foot range but there are a couple of them in the 10 foot range. He balked at me when I pointed out the danger. Oh, alligators don’t fool with people blah blah blah he said.
“Dude. It’s a giant meat-eating lizard. Your kids are made of meat. This aint rocket science. Get off of my land.”
I wouldn’t have run him off if he hadn’t been such a dumbass.
Were they splashing around at the water’s edge? That’s like a dinner bell to those things.
Yep. One kid looked to be about 5, the other less than 10 years old. Recipe for disaster.
It’s not really a recipe unless it has other ingredients. I would have sprinkled those kids with a bit of cayenne and lemon zest.
Just dump a couple of boil bags in the pond.
Re-enactment: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QhtBDNE8qYY
You threw Duck Bill Sam off your property?
You let people use your property for fishing if they aren’t dumbasses? Back in the day, we’d find “secret” fishing holes and normally the owner wouldn’t care. Once in a while we’d be greeted with shotgun wielding psycho. Ah, the 70’s.
I don’t give anyone grief for fishing. They aren’t hurting anything. I won’t give permission (in La if you are committing a crime such as trespassing you cant sue if you get injured) but I. don’t say anything if I see someone just fishing or crossing the property.
That’s government for you. Get screwed for doing the right thing.
My father had to run the local Mexican workers off his property because they would fish out the ponds completely.

Trump is kind of right. Joe looks off. I’d say it’s more to do with him looking terrible. He’s about to become chalice man when he realizes he chose poorly.
Joe looks like he’s in his late ’70s, trying to think quick on his feet. He has reached average life expectancy.
Joe is low energy.
