This is just, I can’t even…this is just the exact opposite of the cable pr0n pics somebody posted not to long ago.
Maybe I should’ve posted photos from the Fiji job. The comms closets each had two or three server racks sitting at odd angles, hundreds of multi-color cables cascading down then up between the racks. One closet had 2 inches of standing water – with the obligatory dead cockroach floating in it. Oh, and all the equipment they had “certified” as installed and 100% functional? – still packed in boxes.

I hope there is a Bag ‘o Dicks booth so Jason can go choke on one.
Has there ever been a Holtz in Minnesoda who didn’t deserve a horse whipping? Jason and Lou both needed one for their crimes against Minnesoda.
Also, caulk guns send the wrong message.

But opioids also come in pills, so I guess all vitamins and Tylenol are next on the chopping block.
And fuck all these people – my dad 87 years old, just got a hairline fracture in his shoulder from a fall and is in incredible pain, so of course he’s only “allowed” by our overlords five days worth of pills at a time, and lord help you if you take them a little too close together because then you don’t get any more.
I hope all of these people end up in some single-payer dystopia in their old age where they lie on beds in the hall in terrible pain and the nurses can only pat their hands and say it’s against policy to give them any pain relief when they’re gonna die anyway.
One of my best friends was dying in great pain. The doctors had to deny him pain meds because he tested positive for marijuana- which he took to help his pain.

If that happened a little more often, do you think crime would go up or down?
As Instapundit is fond of saying, law enforcement isn’t to protect people from crooks – it’s to protect the crooks from summary mob justice.
As discussed in the last thread, with the given information I’d have a hard time voting to convict. That is entirely based on the emotions of a father of three young girls. I get the reasoning of the man fleeing no longer being an active threat and so it constitutes murder, but I have a hard time faulting the dad.
The other guys however… I’m less sympathetic too
Just because its understandable doesn’t mean its not criminal.
That’s how I feel. Pretty certain I could never convict the father The other guys….
Had a cop shot the fleeing suspect in the back while he was running away he’d been given a paid suspension for a few days, been the precinct hero and been the envious talk at the cop barbeque.

It’s all tweets and photo ops with that one.
My question is how long is it until she’s screaming “I’m out of order?! You’re out of order! This whole Congress is out of order!”
I expect her to passionately answer questions that were not asked, and then tweet the videos.
The Mesa, Arizona officer who shot and killed Daniel Shaver (you may remember him from such videos as him getting shot while on his hands and knees begging for his life) is going to get a $2500/month lifetime disability pension for the PTSD he suffered from having to kill that blatant threat to police safety. And he got to go home safely that night!
https://reason.com/2019/07/11/this-cop-is-getting-2500-a-month-because-killing-an-unarmed-man-in-a-hotel-hallway-gave-him-ptsd/
There’s a small part of humanity being restored on the Mesa PD’s Facederp page, on which every reply to whatever they post is either outrage about the shooting or links to Daniel Shaver’s widow’s GoFundMe.
The fact that that guy isn’t in prison right is proof that our justice system is broken when it comes to police misconduct. The guy’s a murderer, full stop.
They tried him for murder and manslaughter, and the jury acquitted him. Dunphy was an ass, but he was right about one thing – it’s hard to get juries to convict police officers for something they did on the job.
Is that the guy who was crawling while trying to comply with contradictory orders from an armed psychopath? That video was a real light-hearted romp.
That’s the one.
Arizona has a law for public employees where you need to apply for disability within one year of leaving your position. The murdering cop left after the shooting in early 2016 … but he was re-hired in mid 2018 FOR THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE OF IMMEDIATELY RESIGNING SO THE CLOCK WOULD RESTART.
I guess it’s a little much to hope for him to quietly tip-toe away after the state literally let him get away with murder.
Everyone involved in that re-hiring should be fired and pensions stripped.
You’d think there’d be some kind of private right of action here. Some kind of suit to prevent abuse of the taxpayer’s purse. Or, perhaps, abuse of office. I forget, are you an AZ lawyer?
One of the cops kept giving him contradictory orders, which resulted in the victim crawling forward on the floor like worm, begging for his life. While doing that he moved his hand slightly to keep his pants from sliding off, and the other cop shot him five times with a rifle.
And then they tried the shooting cop for murder and he was acquitted by a jury, even though there is a video showing the whole thing. Unbelievable.
*Brace for Winston-esque comment*
I thought living in Red States meant everyone is so liberty-friendly?
Cops are cops, regardless of the team in charge of the legislature.
From what I understand, the video was not “available” until after a verdict had been rendered.
Murdering coward got away with it, and is now being rewarded by the taxpayers of Mesa. And nothing else will happen.
It was available for the trial. The fight was over whether it should be released before the trial, and if so, how much of it.
Should say, released to the public and/or family members before the trial.
Motherfuckers. How could anyone see that video and NOT convict?
I used to have many cop friends and they would have all (privately) been completely disgusted. Well, a couple of them got out and would have been publicly more than disgusted.
Yeah, I posted this one late last night. It’s not enough that the sonofabitch got away with murder. No, he should get a pension for the rest of his life because he was so traumatized by….his own criminal act.
Just to punch you in the nuts with the other fist, that disability pension is tax exempt.
Well, that was so much fun, I think I’ll share.
I’m changing the power steering pump on my explorer.
*waves to westernsloper (?)*
Ford, in their infinite wisdom, decided it would be a better idea to sandwich the mount between the pump and the pulley, which means the pulley has to be removed in situ. Easier said than done. And did I mention the pulley is some sort of plasticky stuff bonded to a steel press-on hub.? After much fucking around, I ordered a new pulley from Amazon, and cut the fucking thing off. Six or eight radial cuts through the belt track, a hammer, a big
screwdriverchisel/prybar, and viola! Pieces on the floor, and a pump which will now pass through the bracket. That shit smells horrible when you cut it with the death wheel, too.If you have to take the pulley off to get to the mounts, how are you going to get to the mounts on the new pump?
Clicked too soon. My real regret is that I didn’t film it and put it on youtube like all the cool kids are doing these days.

My firearms license expires next month. I sent off my renewal application months ago.
Of course, the RCMP’s website where you can check on the status doesn’t work. So I call the phone number. The [nice lady] tells me that my renewal has been approved. However, there’s some problem with printing the cards, so they’re producing them with “limited capacity”. There’s no guarantee s to when I’ll get the card.
What happens if I don’t get the card before the current one expires? No problem if I don’t use it transport my firearms.
What happens if I don’t get the card before hunting session? Well, I’m taking the chance that any game warden I might encounter isn’t a dick about not carrying the card with me.

Is there a rural/urban divide with cops/rangers/RCMP in Canada when it comes to firearms? I was pulled over in way northern BC with several firearms and told the Mountie that I had my guns in locked, hard-sided cases and he shrugged and didn’t ask for the paperwork I had to fill out at the border. I don’t think the TPS or Montreal police would have been so indifferent about things.
Probably. Long guns are pretty common in rural areas and, IMO, the cops there usually don’t fuss about them until there’s a problem.
Problem is that the laws and regulations are written in Ottawa by people who are elected largely by urban voters.
Another problem is that the RCMP can administratively reclassify firearms as restricted or prohibited.

Future? They’re already saying that.
If you have to take the pulley off to get to the mounts, how are you going to get to the mounts on the new pump?
Pump comes with no pulley mounted. You install the pulley after you bolt the pump to the bracket, with the “special installation tool” (a 3/8 coarse bolt which screws into the pump shaft, and a nut on the bolt with which you force the pulley hub onto the shaft).
This is an Audi-level design flaw.
The engine didn’t have to come out so not even close.
To change the oil on the new Ford Ranger you have take off one of the front wheels.
That’s how you changed the battery in the old Chrysler 300.
Also required to replace the headlight in the PT Cruiser.
The whole unit, or even just to change the bulb?

The Jeep absolutely takes out that fire hydrant. Why is there no geyser?
Dude. It’s Detroit and it’s been 90 degrees for two days. Every other hydrant in the city is probably open for swimming.
I can’t load the video thanks to my garbage ass internet, but I *think* that hydrants can be shut off where they tap into the water main so there’s no water in them. That’s my understanding for cold weather places.
That only happens in movies. I hit a hydrant back in the 70’s knocking it off of it’s mount. They have some sort of mechanism that shuts off the water when that happens.
All fire hydrants in my area (and I assume many other places as well) are installed with a valve on the line leading to the hydrant. There is no water in the hydrant until the valve (which is flush with the ground and so cannot be unintentionally damaged) is turned to the “on” position.
That’s a dry barrel hydrant. The valve is located below the frost line. On the west coast, they’re be a 40′ geyser of water, and from personal experience, the shutoff valve would be right where the geyser hits the street.
I’m sure we’ll also find out the body cam malfunctioned in the accident. Thank goodness those people had a cam on their porch.
And they apparently still haven’t given back the dude’s drivers license and phone.
It’s a good thing there was surveillance video from a third party, because you known damn well the dash cam on the police car wouldn’t have seen the light of day.
The driver they caused an accident with is lucky they didn’t jump out guns blazing.
It does appear the other guy could be speeding, and with reaction time that slow he could never live in deer country.
It still amazes me how people don’t see them. I learned it when driving in Indiana, because if you don’t see them, you will soon have a smashed up car. I can’t even count the times I’ll see them at night when my wife and I are out and about and she’ll be like ‘what are you stopping for?’ and then I’ll point to the 3 deer standing right in the middle of the road. I’ve known people who have hit them multiple times and I’m thinking ‘What, are you blind or just stupid?’.
Yes.
I have a friend who hit a cow at 65 mph. It was a little rainy, though, so visibility factored in.
Sneaky bastards, those cows
I did that. Though I didn’t hit at that speed due to braking.
Dark cow, dark two lane highway and cow was angled so it blended into the same color pavement and didn’t break up the lines. By the time my headlights illuminated it, there wasn’t enough braking distance left.
I nearly hit one driving from Birmingham down to Auburn. Only thing that saved me was the trucks going in the opposite direction flashing their lights at me. I thought there was a cop, but rounded a corner to see a big freaking bull standing in the middle of the road. Locked up the brakes and skidded to a halt inches from that thing – it’s head was over my hood. It just stood there staring at me.
Drove up to the next gas station and called it in:
“911, what’s your emergency?”
“There’s a cow standing in the middle of 280. It’s going to cause a nasty accident.”
“Can you describe it?”
“…. It’s a ****ing cow standing in the middle of the ****ing road. I think that’s enough of a description.”
Oh, forgot the best part. There were 911 calls and dispatch logs for loose cows on the highway prior to my accident.
And the cow’s owner tried to recover damages because he met the minimal duty standard for livestock (something like making sure they have sufficient food and water, nothing about fencing and this wasn’t in an open range area)
Big bull head over my hood or cow in the road.
Dude you confused them with your description.
Reminds me of an event from my misspent youth that involved a 1970 Mustang convertible, a big maple tree, a really, really cute girl, a halter top, and an old billy-goat.
I should probably save that for an Allamakee County Chronicles post.
So long as you don’t describe the billy goat as “really, really cute.”
I had a deer run up to my car from an angle behind me and hit it. Good damage, but drivable. Deer died. It wasn’t a huge one.
That sounds more like dog behavior.
There were 2, the first one I saw, but it peeled away from the path of my car, the second it was too late — I had nowhere to go and it had committed to the path.
Deer totaled two of my cars when I lived in very rural Finger Lakes area and worked nights. Both came barreling at full speed down forested hills and across the road as I was coming into a curve that blocked the road ahead.
Pulled many people out of deer vs car MVAs there as well over the years. Almost all were in spots that made it unavoidable.
I guess curvy, hilly roads aren’t such a problem in Indiana. ?
Yikes!
Btw, I saw your answer to my EMT question late. Thanks for the info.
Worst one was a guy who just hit the deer completely wrong. Total freak occurrence. It bounced up and through his windshield, impaling him in the chest with the antlers as the deer’s neck broke. I suspect the driver never even knew what hit him…so to speak.
When it’s your time, it’s your time.
Only in Southern Indiana, but that doesn’t really count.
When my wife hit a deer, it was in one of the more visible straight areas around here. However, the deer hit her rather than vice versa, the drivers side fender. I’m gonna end up nailing one eventually. Way too many blind curves and way too many deer.
Appear? that guy was hauling ass. I’m no expert but can you T-bone helicopter a SUV at 35.
So yesterday I found out that City of Vancouver practices Georgianism.

Fuck you Georgism too.
‘Properties are taxed not on their existing use, but based on “highest and best use,”’
Imminent Domain.
Are all community art spaces taxed as though a hedge fund were there instead?
That sounds like cronyism to me. IOW, those grifters are squatting on the land of some of the King’s men.
You people have some strange ideas about how Canadian property laws work.
Hint – it’s all Queen’s land.
Wouldn’t it be Crown Land?
Yes, that’d be the correct term but doesn’t have symmetry with ‘land of King’s men’.
Man, I’m glad I moved away from that shithole.
Alexandria has something similar
So I’m riding the 5-bus home from work a couple of days ago and this woman gets on who says she only has a ten dollar bill and asks if anyone has change, so she can pay the fare ($2.50) This is a common ghetto ploy, the hope being that no one will have change and the driver will just let them ride anyway. Well of course no one had change, but someone had a transfer and gave it to her, which she used to pay the fare. Well the bus drive told her that no, she still hadn’t paid her fare and this woman started yelling at the driver that yes, she’d paid. They argued for several block and after a while some guy sided with her and he began arguing with he driver too. She got off a few blocks later. How fucked up do you have to be to be willing to go through that much fucking drama just to scam the bus company out of $2.50? What a fucking bitch.
/rant
“How fucked up do you have to be”
About as fucked up as the guy I walk past every day on lunch break when I’m at my city office, and asks ‘can you spare a dime’. Really, a fucking dime? You could probably just look on the sidewalk and scrounge up more lost change than that in a few minutes, but I guess that is too much work.
Can of malt liquor > bus ticket.
The need for exact change is a drawback of using buses. Before Boston introduced the Charlie Card I was routinely unable to take a bus even when I was in a hurry and a bus was going to my destination.
In NYC the bus drivers don’t even bother – I bet they are instructed not to. What’s a couple hundred million dollars lost revenue to them?
Isn’t it also official policy to ignore turnstile jumpers on the subway?
Sorry, unofficial policy.
Sometimes there’ll be a cop down there watching, but otherwise there’s nobody to stop you.
Penny wise and pound foolish, but without the penny wise part.
Properties are taxed not on their existing use, but based on “highest and best use,” meaning some local businesses have recently had property taxes double or triple in just a few years.
If those people cannot maximize the return on their property, the state should give it to someone who can. That’s just good sense.

So, over on my Giants board, a discussion of the baby girl whose idiot grandfather put her on a railing in front of an open window from the 11th deck of a cruise ship and accidentally dropped her…….and here is the kind of idiocy I’m dealing with when I and a few other sensible souls comment how the responsibility for the tragedy is entirely on the grandfather:
to which I reply
which draws this reply
I FEEL LIKE I’M TAKING CRAZY PILLS!
I can’t stand hotels with their windows bolted shut now. I imagine I would feel the same way about a cruise ship.
Those windows are in a semi-enclosed area near the pool area. We went on cruise on a very similar Royal Carribean ship last summer. It’s shaded, but it can get pretty damned hot anyway. That’s why the windows are there, so you can get a nice breeze sitting at your table. Because of dipshits like this, they’ll close the windows permanently and make people sweat.
FYI. You are taking crazy pills.
But that guy is a moron.
He is also a strong argument for the return of true patriarchal standards, under which he would have been drummed out of society for being a massive pussy.
I FEEL LIKE I’M TAKING CRAZY PILLS!
Well, you’re a Giants fan, so naturally.
Nah, that’s not crazy – been shitty lately but I’ve seen them play in five Super Bowls and win four of them.
The fact that I still bother with the Knicks, now THAT’S crazy.
I greatly enjoyed their Super Bowl against the Ravens.
So a “reasonably safe environment” means putting in place safeguards for those who don’t know windows that open to high places might subject one to the dangers of gravity? This guy needs to live in a nursing home; the world is much too chaotic and unsafe for him.
I thought the issue was that they were goofing around in the room, the grandpa tripped and fell into the window, causing the toddler to crash through and fall 11 stories.
Thats a horrible situation, but a situation where grandpa is the negligent one AND one of the victims. I HATE the hunt for the biggest pockets that happens every time there’s a tragedy.
There is a strong presumption that the deepest pockets should pay in American culture now. I find it disgusting.
I’m sorry. I was talking with my brother the other day about the rental fees his city is levying to “improve rental housing quality”. He replied that the worst part is the city is just pocketing the money instead of hiring enforcement officials or educating tenants about their rights. I just sort of dropped it at that point.
Here, a toddler died, the grampa wasn’t try to kill the kid, so, I don’t think the level of safety was adequate.
“Accommodations must be accident-proof!”
Sheesh, what an idiot.
Huh.
Whilst driving back from the Toyota dealership (I needed a new front windshield for the RAV4), I got behind a baby blue 1968 Type 54 Lotus Europa.
That’s something you don’t see every day. It seemed incongruous to my mind that the guy was pulling into a Home Depot.
That is a weird looking car.
I certainly did a double-take. Amazingly low to the ground, too.
Thicc.
A Lotus Europa, you say. Nice. There’s no way I could contort myself into (or out of) one, these days. They sure are cute, though.

He’s screwed: Too male, too white, and too old to be taken seriously for a national Dem nomination. Also, I’m fairly certain he must have had a mild stroke or something similar in the past.
That’s a disaster.
I’m with Stinky; I think he’s got a neurological problem. He looks and sounds absolutely terrible.

A good (and long) article on the Mueller report and the Russia nonsense by an actual principled leftist (Aaron Mate). For anyone who isn’t sick of the story it’s a must read:

Let’s see then do that at 40 at that weight.
Spent some time on the phone with the IRS today. They sent me a notice that I had made a mistake on my taxes. I figured out what I was doing wrong but there was still a discrepancy between what they claimed for my AGI and my records. I finally had the lady walk through my return line by line. Imagine my embarrassment when I discovered that I had transposed some numbers when copying from my spreadsheet to the paper form. The first was a legitimate mistake on my part for understanding the tax code. The second was simply a bonehead mistake.
Before everyone says “electronic filing”, electronic would cost me money for the software and I hate to pay to be robbed.
Which costs more, the penalty or the software?
It’s free from several places. They hope you will pay them to e-file state taxes, but you don’t have to. The federal return is free. FREE
My state has an online system that has no cost. The free filing software for Federal is for a simple return, 1040 only. I have to file Schedule E and (up until last year) Schedules C and A. You have to pay for those.
Yeah, I had to pay last year because I got a 1099.
‘The federal return is free.’
An especially good deal if you live in FL or NH, or any other state with no state income tax
Which costs more, the penalty or the software?
The extra money paid would have been required either way. My penalty cost $5.17. Software is $50 or so. Plus, this is the first time in, well, forever that I’ve made this bonehead mistake. Software would have cost me $50 or so for every year in the past so I’m still well ahead.
Yep, then you’re ahead. I don’t chance it with my complicated business structures.
I spend very large sums on tax compliance every year. Part of owning a business.
To be clear, I’m incapable and unwilling to do it anymore. I pay someone else for the insurance.
My CPA is very reasonable only a couple hundred a year, but all the time consuming shit is annoying. I spend a couple hours every Sunday on bullshit paperwork, Receipts and mileage and checks in and out, photocopy this, print out that…. all I want to do is make sawdust and drink beer, is that too much to ask?
Yes, yes it is
No great loss here.

Good afternoon Glibs! I’m finally done for the week, enjoying a pineapple milkshake…IP

How’s the motel?
Room sucks, atmosphere excellent
Here I was hoping for an actual pineapple milkshake. When my parents were snowbirds, my mom and I used to get a date shake once a year. It was awesome, but once a year was enough. I had pineapple ice cream on Oahu once and it was fantastic.
It tasted just like that, except beer, that’s why I tried it, pretty good
Wow! Want!
I have spent the better part of the week reviewing interview packages and resumes. People just cannot write to the job they want or write in general.
I need a beer
Lol, I totes get what you mean dude.
We move from technical to analytical to management. People get stuck writing their technical skills for the analytical position and don’t actually convey how they are qualified.
Thats great you are awesome at your job, but the job you want isnt technical. Beers are helping

The 1963 AH 3000 we were admiring the other day sold today.
$62K!
Great back and forth bidding until one dude blinked. I love auctions!
Buddy of mine had a 74 AH for a minute, till he blew up the engine. It was a pretty cool car, and I seriously doubt that it wasn’t hot.
mikey is restoring a 3000 tri-carb. It’s insanely beautiful.
74 had tubular frame. Cassette player. Rack and pinion steering. All very advanced for the day. Oh, and positive ground.
74 with a tube frame was a replica. I think they were built in NoDAk
The favored local bar of LH and I (we could stagger home if we had to) was unexpectedly closed about 10 days ago. . . because the owner stopped paying rent to the building owners. Sigh. Which has lead us to branch out, which is OK, except I am out of my comfort zone! Baby steps, I know, baby steps.
Hang in there, kid.
It’s gonna be alright.
An afternoon Winston’s Mom article? What are we, French*?
*or some other European stereotype I don’t really understand
So: my team lead tells me I have a job offer. They’re putting together a packet and I’ll see it next week. It’s full time and he mentioned salary (???) but I don’t know whether he meant the word generically. I’ve never been on salary. But he said benefits, and he hopes to keep me on for a long time. Well, shine me on all you like as long as there’s a paycheck every other Thursday. Tonight I’m buying myself the most expensive bottle of scotch Smith’s sells in a plastic container, and I’m going to celebrate the only way I know how: with tremendous regret tomorrow morning.
Congrats!
Thanks!
Woohoo!
Good dealio!
How The Call of the Wild begins.
I’ve never read it. I read the companion piece, White Fang, because it came free with an ebook app. That was fun.
One of the few books that I still remember even though it has been decades since I read it.
Nice, congrats!!
Way to go man. Go get laid.
Make sure you pick out your lucky partner though before you finish that plastic bottle of scotch.

I only skimmed but I got to the part where he called Buttigieg a gay Uncle Tom. This person sounds like a terrible person. The whole part where he brings up a grudge he’s held for years is telling of his chars
Thanks. That was entertaining.

Also enjoying how folks are focused on “suki” in Japanese which means “to like” or “to love”. One of the key characteristics of Japanese and especially this word and concept IS the ambiguous meaning of this word.

I find it disgusting that 好きmeans you love little girls.
Does that translate to “OMWC”?
女 means “woman”. 子 means “child”. Put them together and it means “like”. So, yes.
Put three women together and you get 姦.

Um. I’ve seen those videos too, but I figured the lesbian seduction was consensual.
