Saturday night links of Saturday night

This just never gets old.

 

So, it’s Saturday. Definitely been a week. We went up to the cabin, so that I could finally mow the two foot tall lawn. Yeah, the lawn mower committed seppuku about 10% into the job. Now I have to buy another one and hall it up there. I’m on a four day mowing cycle at home, and I got all the shrubs pruned for summer. The garden is all in and cruising along nicely.

As for the rock we call home? We could really benefit from Yellowstone going all Krakatoa right about now.

 

Something, something, birthdays, something.

Seriously, what could go wrong?

 

Online hookups? Totes okay.

I’m sure she’s just a lovely girl.

 

Head on the desk, Darwin moment. Seriously, you can’t trust the minibar in your hotel, but “hey, can you do something about these love handles?”.

 

A tune and off into the booze soaked evening.

    Well King Arthur has the Holy Hand Grenade so it makes sense the French have a Holy Helmet.

    About to enjoy spicy poke and a South Side for lunch.

    1. l0b0t

      I took some chopped jerk chicken and threw it, and some fresh mozzarella, on top of some leftover pizza and fired it until the cheese got all bubbly. Paired with a pleasantly malty Gulden Draak it’s better than I thought it was going to be.

      1. Spudalicious

        I like the Gulden Draak.

        I’m sitting at a bar with a plate of osso bucco ravioli in front of me.

      2. Playa Manhattan

        Draak is a sipping beer. Almost like eating ice cream.

    2. Lackadaisical

      “spicy poke”

      Is that when you bang a Latina?

      1. JaimeRoberto: Gentleman, Scholar, French Tickler

        And a South side is a left handed hand job.

    The DR tourism situation is in really bad shape. It looks like there are multiple employees at the hotels trying to poison guests.

    My guess: the people responsible are going to be on the receiving end of some extra-judicial punishment.

    1. mexican sharpshooter

      Extra judicial….?

      The judge punishes them extra?

      1. Playa Manhattan

        It means that the judge is extra fair.

    2. Spudalicious

      Good question. Do you parade them before the cameras and convict them before they disappear to show the government has control of the situation, or so you just make the problem go away?

      1. Playa Manhattan

        This is all pretty fresh news, so there’s no data on how much damage this has done to the tourism industry, but it’s going to be bad. Hundreds, if not thousands, will lose their jobs. They’re going to be pretty pissed.

        Poisoning people with pesticides because they don’t want to buy shitty timeshares??? That’s fucking crazy and evil. Break out the torches and pitchforks! They’ll be lucky if the police get to them first.

        1. AlmightyJB

          Yeah, that’s their entire economy. Do they want to be like like their neighbor?

      I used to know this couple that went there every year because it was cheap. He would say that you tip really well from day one and they would treat you like royalty. Guess some folks didn’t get the memo.

      1. creech

        Played golf at “Teeth of the Dog” some years ago. We were told the caddy (one for 4 of us!) got $5 per bag. He could have died when we each handed him $20 at the end of the round. Next day, we asked for him again. “His brother says he not come in, spent big bucks getting drunk last night.” Missed out on another $80 extra, but why try to climb out of poverty when you can be drunk and lazy?

          Dude. Not cool.

          That’s why the death penalty should never be removed from the table.

          1. Count Potato

            “Capital punishment is a long unused form of punishment in Brazil. Its last recorded use was in 1876. Although virtually abolished, it is still possible during wartime, according to the Article 5, XLVII, “a”, of the Federal Constitution. Brazil is the most populous country in the world that does not retain the death penalty in practice (Mexico is the most populous to have abolished it entirely).

            Brazil’s current president Jair Bolsonaro supports the revival of capital punishment for crimes such as murder and rape.”

            I’m against capital punishment primarily because courts are often wrong.

            Not so Almighty now, are you!

          3. Rhywun

            Looks like Campari bought them so look next to the Campari. Your liquor stores are way better than mine so I bet you could find it.

          4. AlmightyJB

            Yeah, no Campari. Aperol is the closest thing I can get.

          5. Rhywun

            Campari owns Aperol now too.

            Since Campari was the only one I’d heard of before I started my adventures in cocktailing a few months ago, I figured it was probably available everywhere. Oh well.

          6. Nephilium

            Nope. It’s available. The Ohio liquor control board has a surprisingly useful site that lets you search for items nearby. The in stock notifications aren’t always the best, but at least you can see if it’s standard, special order, or hard to find.

  10. Rhywun

    Robby in the wild alert.

    To be sure, some good stuff – but I disagree with his conclusion. Nobody on the left is going to stay home rather than pull the lever for Biden or Harris. He makes the mistake of believing that they, like normal people, have principles.

    1. Sean

      “Zillennials”?

      *Starts loading AK mags*

    2. Contrarian P

      I actually partially agree with his analysis. Trump really didn’t do much better than Mitt Romney did. The difference that elected him was that Clinton just didn’t turn out voters. All the reporting prior to the election showed Hillary winning easily, so many disaffected democrats didn’t go to the polls as they were angry, justifiably, over the exclusion of Bernie Sanders.

      The difference this time around is that Trump isn’t going to sneak up on anyone. Democrats that last time would have stayed away in protest will cast a ballot for their candidate just to try to get Trump out of office.

      I think Trump is being underestimated again though. The democratic candidate will likely be bloodied in the primary. They likely will have to run far left to pick up the nomination in the hope they can tack to the center enough to capture swing votes. I don’t think it’ll work, especially if Trump continues to enjoy economic good times and hasn’t started any wars. It’s not like the public hasn’t noticed the crazy leftist swing of the democratic party. Further, I’m not sure the dems have any candidate that really will inspire people the way Bill Clinton or Obama did. Biden is about as milquetoast as they come. He’s looking good now running as Obama 2.0, but we will see what happens once the debates start.

      1. Playa Manhattan

        The debates might pull the nominee so far to the left that they’ll have trouble recovering in time for the general.

        1. Sean

          And the hard lefty shit will scare the normies. Which is why I’m not currently worried.

          See also, Fox’s high ratings.

          1. Count Potato

            Fox has been moving left though. They have a bunch of opinion shows that are preaching to the choir, but their regular news coverage isn’t decidedly pro Trump. While all the other networks are blatantly anti-Trump. Plus they aren’t going to give him all this free media like they did during primaries because they thought he was the Republican most likely to lose.

          2. Lackadaisical

            What’s his names kids took over and wanted them to change their coverage inn the U.S. to acquire some other group.

            They didn’t go full prog yet, but they will.

          3. Lackadaisical

            And the u.k.**

          4. I’d argue that they were never that conservative. They started as right leaning moderate. The other media outlets were just so in the bag for the left that it made them seem more conservative. I’d argue right now they are left leaning moderate, not including the editorial shows.

            Call me a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist, but I think Murdoch’s kids are taking it left. And they are taking it left as slowly as possible, hoping the rubes don’t notice. Then, in a few more years, we’ll be back to an all left-wing media like the good old days.

          5. Lackadaisical

            *Adjust tin foil*

            Actually, I don’t think that’s crazy at all. They’re going to try to make everyone like my dad a leftist. I think they’ll fail, I hope they do, because I don’t want to see a world where it’s all like new York.

          6. Gustave Lytton

            Fox New is in the skin it stage of left takeover. Even if Ailes was still alive, the knives were out to get rid of him.

      2. Grumbletarian

        I also suspect that many of the people who voted for Johnson in 2016 will revert to Trump because of the economy, no major new wars, and Neil Gorsuch, and to keep whichever Team Blue lunatic winds up with the nomination out of office.

        1. I didn’t vote last cycle, but I’m very tempted to vote for the clown I know over the lunatic I don’t know.

          1. AlmightyJB

            Well I don’t want to vote for Trump but the Democrats are doing everything they can to convince me to.

        2. Contrarian P

          I think there’s definitely a chance of that. I’d think the Libertarian party would seize an opportunity to capture both disaffected republicans and democrats, but that’s a fool’s dream. They had the perfect chance in 2016 and blew it in a spectacular manner. I don’t see any compelling candidate coming up in 2020 either.

          Trump will probably pull a lot of former libertarian voters and will probably gain a decent amount of voters who are repelled by the democrats and who like the status quo. I don’t see him losing, but there’s a lot of time left.

        3. MikeS

          the people who voted for Johnson in 2016 will revert to Trump

          This basically describes me.

          Not that it’ll matter. Trump will likely win North Dakota by 20+% again.

        4. Lackadaisical

          *raises hand*
          Not that my vote matters. .. I just want to see some more meme magic.

        5. Old Man With Candy

          Not me. Unless he does something amazing like withdrawing our troops from a dozen or so wars or disbanding Homeland Security, I can’t see why in the world I’d vote for him. If Team L gives me a Bob Barr choice like they did a few years back, I’ll just stay home. If they run someone even vaguely OK, I’ll vote L.

          Yes Gorsuch, but then Kavanaugh, who looks like every other Team Red appointee (cough, cough, Roberts, cough).

          1. Re: Justices: I understand why you feel that way, I really do. But, the left won’t nominate a Kavanaugh. They’ll nominate someone oven worse. Kavanaugh and Roberts don’t want to rock the boat too much either way. Left wing justices do, and they want to rock it further away from freedom.

            I don’t have a good answer to that, because I don’t want to reward republicans, but I have a much more immediate fear of what democrats will do right now.

          2. Lackadaisical

            Fuxking Roberts man. Maybe he’ll have another stroke and die.

      3. Lackadaisical

        By the end of his term he was popular, but Clinton only got like 40% of the vote first time atound, right?

        1. 43% in a three-way race. Bush got 38% and Perot 19%.

      4. Count Potato

        “It’s not like the public hasn’t noticed the crazy leftist swing of the democratic party.”

        Most of them haven’t because the MSM doesn’t report it.

      5. Clinton got about 60K fewer votes than Obama in 2012. Trump got about 2M more than Romney in 2012.

        1. Contrarian P

          I was speaking more based on percentage of the vote. Trump got more total votes than Romney, but Romney had a greater percentage of the total vote as there were about seven million more voters in 2016 than in 2012. Similarly, Clinton’s slightly smaller total vote number doesn’t look like much, but given the considerably larger total number of voters, she did very poorly.

    3. Count Potato

      Plenty of people stayed home and didn’t vote for Hillary. It’s not like Biden is exciting and new.

      1. Rhywun

        Fair enough. The left seems even more fired-up this time around, though.

        1. Count Potato

          They are, but the left doesn’t win elections, the middle does. Biden appeals more to the middle than the left. So it’s possible more of the left will stay home, and people who always vote but aren’t that into politics might be more likely to vote for him.

          Pulling numbers out of my ass, I’d say 20% are fired-up left, 20% are hail Trump, and the remaining 60% lean one way or another, but aren’t reliable.

          Things are way more polarized now than in 1984 when Reagan won 49 states, but the extreme ends don’t matter.

        2. Contrarian P

          The left is fired up, but they are so over the top that I think they’ll repel the average voter. Sure, die hard democrats are going to vote for whomever the party nominates, but the loudest voices in the democratic party are screeching such nonsense it’s going to be hard to win over the middle.

          Look, the House is now opening hearings on slavery reparations. I’m convinced this is a desperate attempt to secure strong black voter turnout in 2020 which they lost in 2016. Unfortunately for them, reparations are not a winning issue with the majority of the country. I’m not sure they’ll even win over black voters, either, because I’m pretty sure those voters are smart enough to realize they’re getting played. I believe this venture to be a very poor calculation on the part of the democrats, especially long term because they’re never going to get reparations passed.

          They hitched their wagon to the Russia conspiracy and that has failed to gain traction after the Mueller report ended up being a dud. The obstruction of justice charge isn’t going anywhere either. They’ve been screeching racism, sexism, and whatever else ever since prior to 2016 and it isn’t working. Trump’s polling popularity has been increasing despite all this noise. I don’t see any new strategy that won’t prove intolerable to their base.

    4. AlmightyJB

      Thing is, I have a hard time believing that the intersectional brown shirts represent the majority of that age group. They’re just the loud, obnoxious bullies of the group. Hopefully, the rest will be ready to fight back politically when the time comes.

      1. Lackadaisical

        Lots of psychos, but most people are actually normal.

        1. It’s also highly culturally and geographically dependent. Single 29 year old girl in LA? Likely an intersectional loon. Married 30 year old with 2 kids in Des Moines? Likely a proud boys sympathizer.

          1. Lackadaisical

            I would agree. I’m in a weird part of new York and it’s 50-50, but a lot puff people are afraid to say anything also.

      We did the early, old people dinner. Primarily because I wasn’t interested in cooking after a day of yard work. I had an “Italian Mojito”, which has Limoncello in addition to lime juice.

      I’m in early on whiskey with a small splash of water.

          That whole adulting thing really cuts into drinking time.

            I usually do my mojitos with Sprite zero instead of simple syrup and soda. Works pretty good.

            We’re so lousy with Tulpas that I think we should send them all to the DR for a little vacay.

    So, the Lebrons gave away everyone but the equipment manager to land Davis. I guess they’re hoping to sign a bunch of desperate veterans on minimum deals. Or they’ll re-up last year’s desperate vets.

    Alex Jones offers $1M reward as FBI investigates child pornography planted on his Infowars server

    I’d ask for the money first before coughing up the information.

    1. Rhywun

      What a shitshow.

    2. Lackadaisical

      Probably someone at YouTube.

      1. Spudalicious

        We can only hope it’s someone associated with big tech.

        1. Lackadaisical

          Then they’ll ban anyone who talks about it.

          1. Count Potato

            This.

    3. Ownbestenemy

      Reading the article I am either concerned or unsure.

      Was the FBI crawling InfoWars emails and suspected the child porn or did InfoWars request the FBI to crawl its emails.

      If the previous, the FBI is digging through InfoWars email via backdoor?

      Ive haf too many beers

    I saw someone mention golden draak, this bar has the regular and the 9000, which is a quadruple, is either worth trying?

    1. Lackadaisical

      Damn, you guys are helpful.

      1. Spudalicious

        If you like Belgians, they’re both worth trying.

      Only had the “regular”. Was unaware there was another version.

    3. Lackadaisical

      I would give the regular 9/10, Werth.

  20. straffinrun

    Signed up on Gab just to throw a little support to an alternative to Twitter. Same for Bitchute. Wanna see alt tech at least make life a little more difficult for the censorship assholes in silicon valley. Oh, boy. Didn’t spend much time on it, but every post I looked at on Gab had at least one (((interesting))) comment. Bitchute was a bit better, but still more (((edgy))) than I prefer. I still wish these alt tech sites luck, but I felt dirty even simply looking at them. *Sigh*

    1. Lackadaisical

      Don’t be a (((pussy)))

      1. Heroic Mulatto

        Are you saying straff looks more like Mila Kunis or Natalie Portman?

          Mila Kunis (((would)))

      2. straffinrun

        If the anti-semites were funnier, I would at least enjoy wallowing in the mud.

        1. Heroic Mulatto

          If the anti-semites were funnier

          When your whole thing is hating the people who basically invented comedy, well….

          1. straffinrun

            And that is why they invented comedy in the first place? Circle of life.

          2. Heroic Mulatto

            Well the first youtube prank video was:

            God: “Kill your son”
            Abraham: “Err…ok”
            Issac: “What the fuck?”
            Abraham: “Sorry, son.”
            God: “It’s just a prank, bro!

          3. straffinrun

            God needs to be deplatformed.

        2. Lackadaisical

          But is there grass on the field? I would guess so in Japan.

        3. Spudalicious

          Wondering how many of the anti-semites are real people.

          1. straffinrun

            Yep. It would be so easy to discredit the site. Whaddayagonnado?

    2. Akira

      Yea, it’s a sad dilemma – nobody really has any reason to join Gab unless they’ve been banned from some other platform, and you’re liable to get a large portion of actual, no-shit Nazis (which only serves to further scare off normies).

      If all your friends are on Facebook, and you visit Gab and see nothing but anti-Semitism, you’re probably just going to go back to Facebook.

    3. The issue is that more normies need to sign up and crowd out the Nazis, but the presence of the Nazis makes it unappealing for normies. Quite the conundrum.

      1. Rhywun

        I’m comfortable with having neither in my life.

    I’ve had enough of these. I don’t need to see supermodels clipping their toenails, eating salad, or whatever.

    1. I’d be ok with “supermodels using their vibrator”.

    2. straffinrun

      I was with you until you tossed eating salad in there.

      And yet, I’ve never seen her at a Ren Faire.

      I call shenanigans!

      1. Festus

        Mating with that would be like trying to do a rabid, shaven ,leathery spider monkey that has the strength to tear you limb from limb if you displeased it (which you most certainly would).

  22. Crazy dragon girl is probably dynamite in the sack, assuming you survive the encounter.

    1. Lackadaisical

      I feel like that’s a bad assumption.

      1. Probably not worth finding out.

        Too big of a downside.

        1. Lackadaisical

          Not when there are so many spicy Latinas and curvy Indians one could bang instead, with only a small chance out death or dismemberment.

    2. Spudalicious

      Fangs. Count me out.

        Doggy style, Dude. The answer to that is Doggy style. Gives you a few steps head start if you live long enough.

  23. Playa Manhattan

    Wife’s last day of Vancomycin.

    Wine, cheese, and egg flower soup.

    I’m also having some supplemental meat.

      1. Playa Manhattan

        It’s hard to tell. She has to take a pill every 6 hours, even at night. And it makes you feel like shit for about… 6 hours.

        I’m optimistic. We’ll know for sure tomorrow.

        Yesterday was rough. She had a meeting in the Bay Area. Tried JetSuiteX for the first time. I warned her. So of course the flight home was cancelled, and she was stuck at the airport in Concord with just the pills and a bottle of water. Do NOT take on an empty stomach.

        1. That sucks she’s having a reaction to the Vanco. Vanco didn’t bother me at all whereas Metronidazole KO’ed me. I remember the every 6 hours thing now; having to set an alarm to get up and take it.

          Sucks, but hopefully she kicks it for good.

          What’s JetSuiteX?

          1. Gustave Lytton

            Scheduled FBO operator. Between private plane and airline.

          2. Gustave Lytton

            No TSA, better service.

          3. Playa Manhattan

            Semi private jet travel. It’s actually cheaper than Southwest for LA to Bay Area, and there’s no TSA. Show up 10 minutes before the flight and board.

            The problem is…. they’re not a common carrier. If they cancel your flight, you’re fucked. And they cancel all the time if the flights are only half full.

            They’re under no obligation to re-book you or put you on another airline. You get a refund for the cancelled flight, and then you have to go find a flight home somewhere else, paying the last minute fare.

          4. Festus

            Sorry to hear about Wifey, Friend. I had “beaver fever” (giardosis you cretins) when I was 22. Landed me in the hospital for a week.

          5. Sir Digby (PBUH)

            “Cretins”?! Why, I learned about it from Ren and St-Oh, right…

    1. A “game changer”.

      Writing a legendary memoir of her experiences hiding from Nazis was blasé; she wasn’t really interesting until we discovered that she happened to like both tacos and brats.

      1. Spudalicious

        Which is pretty astounding. Where would you find a taco in 1940s Germany?

        1. Too bad she didn’t like spätzle.

      2. Heroic Mulatto

        Well, a memoir is intended for others to read. Anne Frank wrote a diary that she probably never thought millions would gawk over, and in that spirit, I can understand why her dad didn’t want strangers to read the preliminary sexual thoughts of his late, barely pubescent daughter.

      3. Rhywun

        The guy touches on that a bit but the whole “I AM QUEER HEAR ME ROAR” schtick isn’t helping. “Queer” == “tedious annoying person I tune out”.

        1. You’re out of the club.

          1. Rhywun

            Meh, wouldn’t be the first time.

    2. It’s mid June, it’s 68* with not a cloud in the sky, and I’m on the back porch watching the bats decimate the mosquito population around my house. It’s gonna be hard to move back to TX if/when we decide to do so. Too bad most of the other living considerations say move.

      1. Why TX? Can’t you pretty much write your own ticket as a patent attorney?

        1. Heroic Mulatto

          Yes, but he specializes in patents for sex toys and other adult novelties. It’s a very regional market. The only RealDoll factory is in California.

          1. I’d look into Amsterdam.

          2. There are only so many places to go if I want to make people O

          3. Heroic Mulatto

            Of the surprisingly larger than you would think genre of vocaloid songs about Japan’s ambiguous relationship with its sex trade, I prefer the work of Masa who is both more poetic and artful when approaching the subject.

          4. straffinrun

            That one is depressing. She doesn’t like humans and wants to vomit at their touch. I suppose some people want a sex doll that hates them.

          5. Count Potato

            Japanese klezmer?

          6. Heroic Mulatto

            If you like the musical genre, I recommend Masa’s more ero guro stuff. He weaves this Lovecraftian mythology throughout a number of his horror-genre songs like the on-going saga of a kitsune and jorogumo who were lovers (yokai yuri!) but the kitsune clan kidnapped the spider woman for some decadent samurai to get off in some snuff performance, so the spiderwoman curses the kitsune clan to reincarnate as flesh-eating demons over and over again into the modern era.

            There is also a four song cycle about a cult that operates in a thinly-disguised Dubai that drugs and seduces women to be used in erotic debasement before they are sacrificed to raise a demon, and Nazis and vampires are involved somehow. The song cycle finishes in the future where the cult has successfully formed an authoritarian world government, but is plunged into civil war over science versus mysticism.

          7. Heroic Mulatto

            @Count

            Nah. Nowhere maudlin enough to be klezmer-y. It would classify this as straight up swing.

          8. Count Potato

            Well, true, not emotionally, but the mix of Eastern European and Middle East scales.

            The rhythm is too straight for swing.

          9. Heroic Mulatto

            @Count

            Re-listening to the drums, you’re right.

            I was vacillating between swing and something like gypsy jazz because of the tonality. Japanese electro-big band-klezmer-horrorcore? Yeah, that’s Masa, the crazy bastard.

          10. Sensei

            Oddly the first time I heard the term “Dutch wife” was actually in Japanese.

            Naturally it was “dachii waifu” or some variation of katakana-go.

            Even some of Hatsune Miku’s “official cannon” is a bit bleak…

            https://youtu.be/3EbunA4IGgs

          11. Heroic Mulatto

            Some?

            If you get all the historical references in Senbonzakura, holy shit.

          12. Sensei

            That particular song turned me onto Wagakiband.

            https://youtu.be/K_xTet06SUo

          13. Heroic Mulatto

            Oh shit! How could I forget the song about child prostitution! Hold, Release; Rakshasa and Carcasses

          14. Sensei

            HM – I don’t think that one ever showed up on any of my playlists.

            That’s definitely bleak…

          15. Heroic Mulatto

            According to the composer, it’s about that uniquely Japanese form of bullying, ijime, as well as enjo kosai.

          16. straffinrun

            Of all the aspects of Japanese culture, you guys spend your time focusing on that one.  住人十色。

          17. straffinrun

            十人十色.

            Dammit.

          18. Heroic Mulatto

            Well, if you’re putting me in the mix, 十人十一 色.

        2. Wife has basically said the only way she’s moving (cross country) again is if we move back to TX, specifically Dallas or Austin.

          I’m also limited in options because I don’t want to go back to a law firm, and 60% of the available in-house jobs I’m qualified for are in silicon Valley. That’s a hard pass for me, 3 months out there was enough.

          1. Sir Digby (PBUH)

            Any preference on either city, trash?

          2. I’m not particularly interested in Austin. I had my chance to live there and should’ve taken it (law school), but I want to live as far northeast in Texas as possible. That means the northeast suburbs of Dallas (where we used to live) are the main competitor to staying in NoVa.

          3. Sir Digby (PBUH)

            Well, gitcha ass on up here, boy!

          4. At the very least, I’ll be out there for Thanksgiving, so we’ll have to do a DFW meet up.

          5. Sir Digby (PBUH)

            Ooohh….meet-space? I was told, specifically, that everyone is a tulpa, and there would be no need to interact with actual people.

            Olympics ruin everything.

          2. straffinrun

            SEIYU has been charging us ¥1 for our bags for about a year. The “My bag” movement has already taken a pretty firm hold, so this new law is only going to screw people who really needed a bag. I use a “My bag” but I mistakenly thought that would mean I get charged less and not that those who don’t would get charged more.

    So who’s knifing the Kennedys’ legacy? The recent Chappaquiddick movie and now Oxygen is running a Martha Mosley expose. Can’t believe it’s just a coincidence.

    1. They’re no longer valuable in the new woke era. JFK said horrible, alt-right stuff like not asking what your country can do for you (DUH they can give me free stuff). And he was a toxic white male who liked pussy.

      They must be unpersoned.

    2. Heroic Mulatto

      No one gives a shit about the Boomers’ sacred cattle anymore.

      That’s all.

      It’s also time to admit that Woodstock was the Fyre Festival before Fyre Festival was a thing.

      1. I’m not so sure. Look at the freakout over Trump’s comparing Melania to Jackie O.

        1. Heroic Mulatto

          The freakout from which age cohort? I’m guessing the same age cohort of most editors-in-chief in the MSM.

          1. The Twitter freakout, which I assume isn’t all old farts.

            There’s also a fair amount of pop culture nostalgia set in the Boomer era, with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel being the latest example.

            Having said that, I’ll be thrilled to see the back if the Boomers.

          Well, she seems to be leaving a wake of corpses in a similar quantity.

    4. Spudalicious

      Destroying the past in order to create a new future doesn’t just mean conservatives. In the new world order, the “Liberal Lion” needs to be diminished. Same reason we found out last week that MLK was a serial philanderer and may have watched a rape happen. Rabid leftist ideology doesn’t have political boundaries.

      1. straffinrun

        The way you put it, it doesn’t sound like a bad idea until you think about what new sacred cows they’ll erect.

        1. You said erect.

        1. RegicidalManiac

          “Hey, it’s just like destroying Confederate statues! We could really learn something from that guy, who is he?”
          -Millenial SJWs

      2. CPRM

        MLK … watched a rape happen.

        I thought he was a preacher, not a priest.

        1. Trigger Hippie

          If he was a priest he would have been the one doing the raping.

          1. CPRM

            So you’re saying rapists usually don’t watch what they are doing? Sounds dangerous. We should regulate that.

      3. Rhywun

        we found out last week that MLK was a serial philanderer

        I thought that was already widely known.

        1. Tejicano

          The woke generation has the ability to be always learning something “new”, which was already widely understood, without really learning anything whatsoever.

        2. AlmightyJB

          Yes, but before that was only his and his wife’s business, now he must be judged and punished by the sjw brown shirts.

        3. Spudalicious

          I don’t think the 40+ number was known, but then again, this is all unverified and suspiciously timed.

    1/2 oz lemon juice

    1/4 oz simple syrup

    Champagne (brut)

    Mix ingredients over ice, and then strain into a tall glass full of ice. Full with Champagne (~2 1/2 ounces) and garnish with a twist of lemon peel.

    Turned out delicious. And very strong.

        1. CPRM

      So, the easy part. My job is always the “scramble fixing bugs” part.

      1. Nephilium

        Easy. But tedious waiting for a whole bunch of other stuff to get done, just so I can power up machines and make sure they come up stable.

    2. Sir Digby (PBUH)

      Oh…claiming our labor, are you?

      1. Nephilium

        Labor? Nope, just hoping you can help me pass the time while I wait. I’ve powered down the machines I need to (which to this day still makes me nervous that they won’t come back up). Now I’m just on a WebEx waiting.

        1. Sir Digby (PBUH)

          Well, I understood about half of that post. So, I’m improving.

        2. Gustave Lytton

          Turn on the webcam, pretend you’re not aware it’s on and procede to ever more damning acts.

          1. Nephilium

            I do like getting a paycheck, so I’ll probably pass on this.

          2. Chafed

            In the modern age that’s how you get a paycheck.

    3. Chafed

      Now would be a good time to break out those Babylon 5 DVDs you ripped for just such an occasion.

      1. Nephilium

        Ripped? I’ve got downloads sitting on my external hard drive for some of the rarer shows from back in the day. There was an old site that was dedicated to rescuing shows that weren’t likely to get a DVD release (and if one was released on DVD, they pulled down the links to the shows). But, conference call, so not really able to watch a show or listen to music. Too big of a chance of a missed mute button.

        And in case you didn’t see it, there’s even more writing going on about B5:

        Babylon 5 Is the Greatest, Most Terrible SF Series

    1. straffinrun

      That story has been floating around the tubez for a while. I just whistled past it because it’s too depressing.

    2. Heroic Mulatto

      To be fair, if the newspaper’s picture is accurate, the kid does look like an asshole.

      1. straffinrun

        Is that you, Reza?

      2. Rhywun

        ^That’s how you glib.

        1. RegicidalManiac

          To be honest, HM’s horrible, glib comment improved my evening after Mrs. RM asked what I was so shocked by and then had a full blown panic attack when I (foolishly) told her.

          So you’re right – that is indeed how you glib.

      3. All kids look like are assholes.

      STEVE SMITH RAPE MIGRANTS DEBATE. THEN DISCOVER MIGRANTS DEBATE ABSTRACT CONCEPT. NOT SO MUCH FUN RAPING AS RAPING CAMPERS.

      1. Sir Digby (PBUH)

        Speaking of STEVE SMITH (oh, God…), he has apparently made his way into mattress commercials—go figure.

        https://www.ispot.tv/ad/dfKu/purple-mattress-human-egg-drop-test-free-sheets

        Going down the rabbit hole of purple mattress commercials with a certain, hairy rapist, leads to even weirder commercials that sorta explain that other one.

    I think I hate places with a dedicated parts counter where you can’t look up the stuff yourself and pull it off the shelf. It’s always a crapshoot if they can do their fucking jobs with a modicum of competence. And of course, they’re closed until a Monday now

        1. Sir Digby (PBUH)

          Competitive condom sheathing? Doubt it.
          Rents wanted their children taught this without having to be the ones to do so-generally speaking. So, they farm it out to the government, not realizing those people wouldn’t be teaching SE the way the parents were thinking.

          Troubling hilarity ensued.

      2. Count Potato

        If your ten-your-old needs to know how to put on a condom, you’re doing it wrong.

        1. Count Potato

          Why would Planned Parenthood want to cut down on unwanted pregnancies?

          1. Rhywun

            I was being cynical. I’m not certain they do.

            Either that or I’m drunk.

            Why not both?

          3. Nephilium

            There is beer waiting for me in the fridge, some beers I have never had before. They sit there taunting me as I wait to finish this change.

          4. MikeS

            Hey, Neph. Sorry about your shitty night working. On the bright side, I have a good buzz going.

          5. Rhywun

            You’re pulling an all-nighter sober? What the hell is wrong with you?

          6. Nephilium

            It wouldn’t be so bad, if it wasn’t just sitting and waiting. I’m now up to almost 150 minutes of just sitting on a conference call. I’ve spent about 15 minutes of that actually doing something, and have about 15 minutes of work once everything is done.

            Hopefully it’ll be over soon.

          7. Nephilium

            Rhywun: If I have work to do, I’ll refrain from drinking until the work is done. Sounds like we’ve got about another half hour before this is done tonight.

          8. Rhywun

            I’m just joshing. I won’t lie though – I’ve had a couple tipsy all-nighters.

          9. Sir Digby (PBUH)

            Saturday night’s all right for fighting—just not having a refreshing beer while sitting in on a barely-productive phone call.

          10. Nephilium

            Rhywun: Emergency issues are another situation. There’s a story that was told for a while about the time me and my coworkers stopped at a bar after work, and we got an outage call. I went out to my car, grabbed my laptop, hopped onto the bar’s wireless network, and restarted the service that was causing the issue.

    All of Door County’s coffee have so far been top notch. That particular link in to the flavor I just got today (and, am enjoying now).
    I buy through Amazon, but, my try direct, depending on costs/availability.

    If you don’t care for flavored coffee, you’ll kindly disregard this post. Otherwise, take a look and see what you think. Remember, a coffee company that makes a German Chocolate cake flavor cannot be evil.

    1. Sir Digby (PBUH)

      Yes—“S” for super…

      1. Festus

        I was an inveterate coffee-holic for about thirty years and then switched to tea. Now I can barely stand my one cup constitutional in the morning. Getting my teeth yanked ruined my sense of taste and smell. I used to enjoy cooking and even did it professionally for a few years but those days are done.

            Come for the stories, stay for the involuntary commitment! Not really. I used to run on the fringes of various scenes and wore a shit-load of hats in my younger years. Some of it was pretty hard-core but most was just either me or someone I knew fucking up in unexpected ways. I have the curse of not forgetting anything that happens. It’s not like I went to war or anything like that.

            I was more annoyed I had to quite a Battletech mission (in Iron Man mode) in order to join the call. I was hoping to be able to complete the mission, but reinforcements came in, which prolonged the mission past where I was feeling secure about being done before the call started.

            One of my best friends used to say that the only thing she had to worry about (when she was in a match) was jamming her cock up against the rail.
