So I’m across the street, kicking back and jawing with the neighbors when I look at my watch. “Holy crap, I’ve got 45 minutes to get the links done!” So you can be rest assured that tonight’s links will achieve the same lofty heights they have been known for in my mind.
Seriously, it’s time for the UN to become low rent housing.
Certainly this has nothing to do with DARPA secret squirrel shit.
For you frequent flying Glibs.
The little shit wouldn’t take a bath.
I’ve flown out a few patients in helicopters, and I don’t like them.
Maybe we can talk her into a life in porn?
I don’t like small planes, either.
Speaking of people falling out of the sky, a little Jim Croce tonight.

First two links are identical – intentional?
Gaah! Fixed.
Pssst, Spud. I don’t think the first two links should be the same.
I would be happy to send you a refund.
They just had to get to those low,low prices……
Glad Wendy is doing better, Yusef.
thank you, shes resting right now…
Glad to hear that. You’ve made it up there to see her?
oh yes, first thing this morning, the are doing a pericardial drain, so surgerery needed athis time, shes scared,
Aw – best wishes!
Glad to hear you made it there man. Give her a long hug for you, from me.
Prayers for the two of you, Yusef.
Glad you’re there. Thinking of you both.
Sent you a little extra something via PayPal, Yusef. Lemme know when you get it.
and I thank you sir! everything helps,
oh I did get it, Durrrrr
Nice work, Spud! Now get your ass back to the party!
I’ve flown a lot in small planes, but I’ll pass on the helicopters.
And airplane food.
A helicopter tour in the right place can be worth it – mine in Hawaii in 2014 was great (former Marine pilot) – got a little DVD souvenir with interior camera and microphone audio from all the passengers as well as exterior images ;p
We took that helicopter tour in Kauai about 20 years ago and it was great. So sad for everyone on this.
I hiked it (Kalaulau), drove it (Waimea Canyon/Kokee), and sailed it (Na Pali). Never got a chance to do the helicopter tour.
One of their politicians is itching to ban the flights.
The news said that the Governor was blaming lax regulations.
Needs moar government.
Really, is airplane food ever good?
Even the one time I flew first class (to another country), I could only get three pours since they thought I would sleep.
Yes.
It depends on the airline.
No party. I got a new cutting board for Christmas, so I took my old one over so they could give it to their son. It was still in good shape. I also gave him my old bbq and the patio table and chairs. His comment to his parents was, “I’ll take anything Spud offers. He gives away better stuff than I could afford to buy.”.
And that’s true signs that you’re old. Not just that you’re a friend with OMWC. 🙂
Ha! Srsly, that cutting board is at least 25 years old and can easily last that long, if not longer.
If only those damn kids would take care of it…
🙂
As long as they stay off of my lawn.
Helicopters can be fine, when flown for work purposes. The Osprey on the other hand is a scary fucker if you know anything about aviation. A human can not control it during transitional flight (engines changing from one direction to the other). If the computers fail, you crash. The Marines did that often, but now only on occasion.
They go fast, so were hard to shoot down in Iraq, but what good is that if you crash when you get there.
When they were developing the Osprey, I just scratched my head. “How is that going to work?” Apparently not very well. I’m glad they’re getting past the learning curve.
Ultimately, it’s an engineering problem; it’s just a shame so many good folks have to die to get all the kinks worked out.
What will fix this problem is AI. Then we get Transformers running Sky Net.
The Pentagon Working Group put together to find out why the Osprey crashed so often came to the conclusion that (IIRC) “When subject to failure, the aerodynamics are such that the aircraft wants to roll inverted, pitch noise downward, and fly at high speed into the earth.” I’ve seen them fly with my own eyes but I still don’t really believe they are doing so; must be movie magic or tricknology.
What are you, some kind of South American commie?
(From Spud):
What are you, some kind of rock star?
I’ve ridden in more helicopters than I can recall. Had a nice window view once off the coast of Oahu – crammed in with 70+ pounds of gear and my M-249. Crash landed in the Philippines in a twin engine Otter. I’ve only taken off in a Cessna but jumped out half-way before landing.
How bout them first two links? Mighty familiar, bubba.
What?!? What?!?
https://southpark.cc.com/clips/165193/what-what-in-the-butt
What? What?
“Seriously, it’s time for the UN to become low rent housing.”
It already is, really. But, yeah.
US withdraws any military personnel assigned to UN duties, US withdraws from all treaties with UN. US stops funding UN, including any “commitments” which they think they are owed, US stops recognizing UN passports, US stops credentialing UN personnel as diplomats, etc. Problem will take care of itself.
Oh, hell yes. Stopping funding to the worthless IPCC would pay off exponentially.
No no no. That will allow the UN to go even more insane with the blessing of international law.
1) skin suit it. Defund all of the staff. Shut down the orgs. Eject the non-member NGOs. Require staff and anyone working for the UN to obtain a US work visa. End tax free treatment of salaries. Force the UN to pay local taxes and fees
2) demand respect. Neuter the SG’s staff and make the position powerless.
3) let the empty suits make speeches in the general assembly with the microphones and cameras turned off and unplugged.
Chil Fil A continues the downward slide. Paper straws now. If I wanted to chew on cardboard I’d go to KFC.
Dear Oklahoma,
What. The. Fuck?
Sincerely
Everyone
That was a serious ass whoopin’. Washington did the same thing to Boise.
Vanderbilt was more competitive. Vanderbilt!
There’s still the second half, it’s true, but….
Why is Burrows still playing?
Orgeron will have to live the rest of his life under a false name in Patagonia if Burrow gets injured in the 2nd half.
Yep. He is way to valuable. I see a high first round draft pick.
Yeah, and out of the league in 3 years after the Bengals line gets him sacked 90 times in the first two.
As a Washington Redskins…fan?…I look forward to a lengthy off-season of local radio guys mentioning his name every ten minutes.
Jalen Hurts hasn’t looked this bad since the last time he faced an SEC defense in the College Football Playoff.
Still only 3Q
56-21. That’s some serious blinders wearing optimism. Good on you.
No… I mean it’s THIS bad and it’s only the 3rd quarter.
Lol! Time for Burrow to hit the sideline.
I took an alternate line, -16 1/2 LSU, and I was a little worried they wouldn’t cover. I should’ve bet the effin’ house on the riskiest line, which I believe was like -19 1/2. I have to keep reminding myself that OSU is not OU, and this doesn’t mean I should put my mortgage payment on Clemson to cover at whatever the nuttiest spread happens to be.
NB: If you have a link to a uh… sports broker… could you send it to my handle @ gee, mail? Thx.
Done.
Got it, thanks.
It’s impressive how the UN manages to be wrong on literally everything, decade after decade.
It’s a gift, really — they don’t like to talk about it.
Alright, new thread: I’m going to ask, prove to me wrong
Jamie Lee Curtis killed Kennedy, if you can.
FACTS: she was born the same year as LEE Harvey Oswald
she died the same year “LEE” supposedly (“SUPPOSEDLY”) was killed for killing Kennedy
SHE ADMITTED TO IT WHEN SHE STARRED IN TRUE LIES
True = truth
Lies = she lied about not killing Kennedy
JAMIE LEE OSWALD KILLED JOHN F KENNEDY PROVE ME WRONG
Hihn, is that you?
BULLY!
far too logical
Because those tits are way too nice for murder.
Did Hyperbole hack your account?
I’ve seen her naked and it almost killed me.
well, it is a consensus of Top Men, what do you expect? Results? that work? hahahahaha!
And it’s been hijacked by the low-life countries of the world.

Ahem, the nomenclature in normal usage now is shithole. Show some respect.
One question… will Sir Digby be doing a late night post tonight? I may have to vent some shit this weekend, and would prefer it on an appropriate thread (late night shit posting).
I don’t see one scheduled. Wait a couple of hours and vent away here.
I looked and didn’t see one scheduled. I can keep drinking and wait for the girlfriend to go to bed regardless.
Why doesn’t anyone talk about the Obama administration pushing for that so called Russian Silicon Valley anymore? Remember that one?? Ya, that was a hell of a reset.
And nothing else happened.
(This is the first I’m hearing of this affair.)
(This is the first I’m hearing of this affair.)
Seriously? The reset with the big stupid red button? The love for Russia? It has been in the back of my head for years now. If Russia is now some great interwebs threat that can destroy democracy in America, well, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton helped them build this nefarious network. And now the UN is backing Russia as some honest player for some conference on cyber crime? It is hilarious.
I’m talking about the “Russian Silicon Valley” scheme.
I hadn’t heard of it either.
Hey, I just got a call from Lincoln Reilly. He needs some help. Who is with me!!!!
I have no idea who that is.
I tink e mioht be the fella married ta ol’ Dicey Reilly.
Lol
Sooo I’m mulling something over that the husband would disapprove of.
When we got married, my ring was a CZ. I did not feel a need to have a real diamond, but to Mr. Mojeaux it was important he give me a real diamond. So he bought one and I put the CZ away. Now, a) I know that diamonds are a racket, b) I know I wouldn’t get much for selling it, especially loose, and c) Mr. Mojeaux would hit the roof if he ever found out I’d sold the stone.
But all I can see when I look at my ring now is that I’m wearing a pretty nice rock that is worth at least something. Sell the stone and have the CZ put back or no?
You know the answer to that.
You can’t do a cost/benefit until you know what it’s worth. Get an appraisal.
Off the top of my head, if I bought my wife a diamond because it meant something to me and then she sold it without telling me, I’d be hurt. Unless you really need the money, I’d say leave it. This is kind of the flip side of a situation a friend and his ex-wife were in, where she decided she wanted a bigger rock and just went ahead and had the ring re-set on her own.
Well, we kinda do. I’m trying to think of the family’s needs.
If you want to kick him right in the balls, really hard, sell it.
^this
^^ this. If I found out my wife did this, my trust in her would go to zero really fast. If you’re interested in having a solid two years of petty marriage drama, do it.
Totally unrelated: message sent.
This sounds like an I Love Lucy plot.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RwG6FoOLB_g
Fun fact: Ricky is a bit of a role model for me.
Although, I might have slapped Lucy.
Then you’d have some ‘splainin to do.
In 1954?
I should explain this. I am not advocating men slapping their wife.
Lucille Ball however, needed to be slapped.
So I really really really hate I Love Lucy, but that clip was refreshing that she didn’t do something stupid and for once she was the straight man.
I just wanted to throw ‘splainin out there.
lolclassic
As a shitlord, I would say to discuss it with him. Worst case scenario, he doesn’t want you to sell it. Best case scenario, you agree and have something to bond about and joke about later.
This, with the caveat that you have to really sell that the CZ is THE wedding ring, not the diamond.
He gave you a handgun as a wedding ring?
Seriously, you’ve already gotten good advice. That’s not something to do behind his back.
This^^^
Do if if you think that you need to, but do it right in front of him.
The sad thing is (because diamonds are a racket) a used Ceska Zbrojovka pistol retains more of its value than a used diamond.
My wife sold her hair to buy me a watch chain. I sold my watch to get her a Brazilian cut. Awkward.
O. Straffy
Y’all just won the Internet
Srsly.
Wrote a riff on that story. No Brazilian cuts were harmed in the writing.
What story?
Stay.
I’d definitely add that to my cart if I didn’t have to explain why that’s on the CC bill.

Well, allrightythen! I knew it was a little iffy, but I didn’t think it was THAT huge.
But MikeS was right. I knew the answer. Now, knowing how strongly you all feel about it, it puts my mind at ease.
Yeah, it was your first sentence. Dead giveaway.
Sounds like a bad idea.
There’s your answer right there.
And what RC said.
To add on to this. I spent a year tracking down one of my favorite single origin coffees again. I roasted it and specified to the girlfriend that if she wanted any, I would strongly prefer she drink it with no cream or sugar (as it should be). She then grabbed a cup of the first pot I made of it, and told me how she added sugar and syrup to it.
In general agreement with the others. But I have to ask: Have you sold the CZ yet?
Oh: have a discussion before you do.
Let me clarify: a cubic zirconia, not a gun.
Thanks a lot, now you’ve got me daydreaming about some alternate reality where guns are given as wedding mementos.
It could happen.
I gave Mrs. Dean a Sig for her wedding present.
I figured. It’s hard to fire a gun with your ring finger.
I am adequately chastened.
You didn’t do it. Life has enough guilt without feeling bad about just considering doing something, that isn’t even something evil of itself, just something that would have hurt someone if you had done it.
Supporting this right now. I’ve got enough guilt floating around me right now for things that have been done.
Go on…
If you can’t run iffy ideas past the people here without fear of judgment or shame, then the terrorists have already won.
Since Hype seems unwilling to do his contrarian thing, I’ll say that we don’t know the inner workings of your relationship. I wouldn’t want my wife to do it, but if you think it would be OK… Many husbands would get upset. Maybe yours wouldn’t.
Maybe keep the diamond for sentimental reasons, but have it reset as a necklace pendant?
I think it would hurt his feelings more than the money you’d get back from selling the diamond will be worth.
Go with moissanite. It’s silicon carbide and second only to diamond in hardness.
I have a ring with one, and I’ve fooled a few jewelers with it for several minutes as they adjusted the prongs or whatever.
Re the drone story. Why no pics of all these drones?
Just starting my nutrient-dense miso soup for the evening.
In addition to the bonito-based stock, I’m throwing in 1 lb of chicken feet. I should be able to get some decent meat jello out of it.
One of my favorite things is the couple days after Thanksgiving. When the turkey gravy has set into meat jello.
Now that I’m older, headcheese sounds more appetizing than it did to me before.
A local restaurant with a known chief does all sorts of farm to table food. One thing that’s on the menu for limited quantities is a hogs head.
I have managed to get people to try the various pig bits at Michael Symon’s place though (tails, ears, and cracklins).
I would love to eat at Michael Symon’s restaurant.
I’ve been – it’s excellent.
I believe the closest to you is in Vegas (at the Palms). I’ll be in the area in April. If you’d prefer to avoid the travel, I’m willing to make the attempt to ship meat to you during the winter months.
That might be a possibility. Traveling isn’t a great option these days.
Understood Spud. My e-mail’s my handle at Google’s mail. Here’s where you can see the menu. The Pork Belly is amazingly delicious and fatty.
Pickled pigs’ feet is about the only part of a pig I’m leery to eat any more. Hell, if the stories are right even the asshole is edible.
Just ask HM.
We had a pig’s knee in a very overpriced restaurant in Florence (that specialized in unusual food) some years ago. Wouldn’t order it again.
The tails were delicious. However, they were also full of fat and juiciness. Ears are chewy and delicious, but full of gristle. Cracklings are awesome and I’ll smack anyone who says otherwise.
I was at a Vietnamese wedding where they served pig’s ear salad. They sliced it very thinly to make it chewable.
Pickled pigs’ feet was something my dad got in his stocking every year. That, and pickled herring. He served an LDS mission in Holland and liked all sorts of disgusting things. He also loved and missed the plethora of Indonesian food.
Ammonium nitrate licorice?
He never mentioned that, but he loved licorice.
?
Chicken feet should only be used to carry a chicken across the road and voodoo ceremonies.
If you buy chicken stock at the grocery store, which part of the chicken do you think it comes from? The good parts?
I don’t buy chicken stock. I make it from a whole chicken as god intended. Sans the feet.
Tundra posted an F-14 (RIP) article today. Here’s an article about it’s even more badass brother, the F-15, possibly getting a new lease on life.
It looks like the vertical stabilizers are slightly cambered in the new version.
Yep. Part of reducing it’s radar signature
That makes a lot of sense.
You know, unlike the fucking F-35…
The crash was probably weather related. They’re under a lot of pressure to avoid cancellations. If they had to call off the search because of weather, it probably wasn’t a good idea to fly in the first place.
I did one of the tours a few years ago out of Maui. The volcano was rained in, so they flew us to Molokai instead. You can’t do that on Kauai. Should have cancelled.
I was on a tour of San Francisco b in, I think 1978. It was a bubble cab helo, and I remember it way falling apart. The jump seats in the back which we sat on were lose and every tilt or direction change, they would pull up on the loose bolts (like almost an inch!). I looked at the sights, but not much, I was ready to kiss the ground when we alit.
I wonder how many rooftop landing sites they have for emergencies.
I’m seeing more and more windsocks on buildings in LA.
I thought that whole landing pad on buildings thing came about as a result of the movie “Towering Inferno?”
It rattled me so bad, it still makes me leave in a bunch of typos.

I went to the local pirogi place today when grocery shopping to grab breakfast for tomorrow. They were all out of their egg based pirogies (and were looking pretty picked over from the holidays). I was at least able to find a potato, cheese, and bacon pirogi pack for breakfast.
One thing I really appreciate about everybody but ESPN is how they don’t make the teams do stupid stuff for the intros, outros, and promos. Every time I see the teams doing stupid scripted shit in the corner graphics, I want to throw something at the screen.
The big thing in the PAC 12 was “inclusion and diversity”. Every commercial break had a PSA from select players on both teams.
I’m guessing that in both situations, it’s virtue signaling with no downside. Who’s gonna turn off the game just because of a stupid commercial/promo?
I don’t watch college ball, but do they have those annoying videos like the NFL?
“Jamaritus Breckinpaw, St Mary’s Elementary (flex)”
“Shawandon Mixolepizicus, THE Cleveland Public School System (head nod)”
All the channels have the little motion graphics, but this is more flagrant. It’s stuff like the whole offensive starting lineup in superhero poses together.
The Bundesliga pre-matches have started superimposing the team on a live view of the stadium, like the players are 50 feet tall now.

Italian > French. Just saying.
Northern or Southern?
Yes.
Gonna have to disagree. Italian and French are two different animals. Northern and Southern Italian are two different animals. French just takes longer to prepare.
straff is correct, Italian Beef is better than French Dip as far as sammiches go and what’s more important than sammiches?
Pisses me off. Taste of Chicago just closed down after a couple of decades and they had a badassed italian beef sandwich. Now it’s gonna be some “prime” pizza joint. Dammit!

Fucking Winter Classic in in Dallas.
That’s just silly.
What? The entire point is to play an outdoor game in the cold. Fuck southern hockey teams. Especially the South Stars.
I have no problem with southern hockey teams. Actually, I’m totally bored with the Winter Classic. It was fun for awhile, but it’s really kind of lame.
Every now and then UW Madison plays a hockey game at Lambeau, I think that’s pretty neat.
Yeah, outdoor games can be really fun, but I think the NYD games are getting a little forced.
I just saw that and had the exact same reaction.
Are you watching the dog show, too? 🙂
I was tempted but no, Rangers.

Hello, friends
fun fact: about half of UN resolutions are about Israel
today I learned: that time they tried to steal George Washington’s skull
***
In 1830, an attempt was made to steal the skull from the remains of George Washington, which resided in a tomb at Mount Vernon. Instead, the thief mistakenly removed the skull from the remains of one of Judge Bushrod Washington’s in-laws. The desecration of the Washington family crypt prompted a new, more secure, burial vault to be constructed.
***
Washington’s epitaph:
***
Looking into the portals of eternity teaches that
The brotherhood of man is inspired by God’s word;
Then all prejudice of race vanishes away.
***
Clearly the words of a fucking white male…
Good thing Indiana Jones traveled back in time to stop them.

Geronimo was also careless with his.
The Germans were forced to give back this skull:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_Mkwawa
Chief Mkwawa lined the path to his hut with the skulls of his enemies.
***
The skull’s return was stipulated in the 1919 Treaty of Versailles:
ARTICLE 246. Within six months from the coming into force of the present Treaty, … Germany will hand over to His Britannic Majesty’s Government the skull of the Sultan Mkwawa which was removed from the Protectorate of German East Africa and taken to Germany.
***
Did you go by Geronimo’s grave when you were at Ft. Sill?
Yeah. We went past it on our last road march. A bit after graduation, I visited it. Supposedly, G-dawg starved himself so he could slip past the bars of his cell. That’s how he escaped one time.

You know, there was a time where journalists had at least a modicum of pride and self respect. I mean, “The Enquirer” would publish all manner of crap, but real news organizations would at least attempt to do some actual reporting.
This “space worms” link is just over-the-top stupid. It was stupid the first time this story was reported a year or two ago. But now? All you have to do is one quick google search to get the answer. And it isn’t like solar balloons are that arbitrarily obscure. You can actually buy them online with overnight shipping, for crying out loud.
Come on people, have a little pride. It isn’t like this is political reporting where you are saving the world by reprinting the DNC propaganda sheet for the day.
Hasn’t the Enquirer actually broken some real news, done some good investigative reporting?

To people like Stelter that is like saying that X had lunch with Hitler, with both of them being x and both of them being Hitler. It is like Hitler squared. To anyone sane it is about as shocking as Maddow having lunch with Hillary.
It’s hard to even figure out what his point is. Usually you can kind of guess, but, as you say, this is meaningless.
Or as shocking as whoever the Clinton’s have had lunch with showing up dead at some point.
“Maddow having lunch with Hillary”
ewwwwww
Even though it’s not funny, SNL at least got the concept right.
START THE FUCKING GAME ALREADY, ESPN, YOU GREEDY AD MONEY-CHASING MOTHERFUCKERS!!!
They lost 50% of their ad revenue in the last game when everyone turned it off at halftime.
It’s ESPN, gotta do 10 different intro graphics and 4 human interest stories before kickoff.
At the end of the Penn State/ Memphis game they launched into an IMPORTANT story about Penn State’s head coach defending one of his staff against some online meanie who criticized the guy for wearing dreads. It so was neccessary to get those clips in showing Penn State’s HC having a fucking press conference of all things over it that they spliced it in during game play. Much brave. So inclusion.
Part of my dreams the other night was my sister was trying to help out some black girl who wanted to be a hairdresser, so I went and got a hair cut from her. She put in those short dreads. Then some how I ended up going to jail, and since I was a white guy ‘appropriating’ a black hairstyle, all the big mean black inmates were threatening to beat the shit out of me. Then I guess I woke up. Politics is fucking with ma dreams now! I blame Trump!
I would suggest laying off the mescaline.
I always thought if you’re going to go with dreads, go all out. That cut just looks like someone used cheetos for extensions then dyed them black.
TBH, I like that look better than “all out”.
I have frequent dreams where I have the long, floppy hair I always wanted but wasn’t possible. Then I wake up and run a hand across my buzz cut.
I’m don’t ever really care about my hair, but that one time when I was working the studio board for an on site DJ and he said on the air, “My producer was probably pulling out what is left of his hair, but he made the broadcast work” that kind of stung. But it is a good backhanded compliment, so I let it go.
The really annoying part is I still have all my hair. It’s just thick and wavy, and if I grow it I sweat real bad. Even more so now that it’s all gray.
Let’s hope it’s a better game than the last one.
Lets just hope the damn thing starts soon, 8pm my ass.
It’s all part of the build up. I hear they have some killer twists planned, but only after Half-Time
Well, I’m a couple of pints in. Should I just walk up to my local to watch the game?
I would.
Alright. It’s a mile walk to the better local bars. Even if I’m not an OSU fan, I can still cheer for the local team.
I think I’ve convinced the girlfriend that we should walk up to the non-regular local pub to watch the game.

Transgender man gives birth to non-binary partner’s baby with female sperm donor
Who exactly is the target audience for this shit? Either you’re in the “men can have babies” camp, or you’re in the “that’s not really a man” camp.
There’s no room left for “OMFG that’s amazing!!!”, but that seems to be the tone they’re going for. A headline so sensational that it appeals to nobody.

Google translate never disappoints when attempting Japanese.
Right? He’s got some balls, doesn’t he?
I can’t ever get this shit straight. Was this a man who went transgender, or are they trying to make a woman feel better about transgendering by calling her a man? This fucking doublespeak shit has got to stop, dammit.
It was a woman who transitioned to masculine, then did the most feminine thing by having a baby.
The “female sperm donor” used to be a boy.
Is a boy, unless medical science has advanced further than I thought.
And, it’s woman pretending to be a man who gave birth, also. I just wish they’d frame these labels in a sensible way. Lying ain’t changing my mind, I’ll tell you that.
There is a large chunk of society that actually gets a little thrill out of pretending something is something else that it isn’t. Some dead white English dude wrote a book about it, I think.
They are just rebelling against that dead white Greek dude with his A=A oppression.

I once replicated an experiment of his. I used to eat total cereal. He claimed that it was full of actual iron and you could extract it with a magnet. I threw some in a plastic bag, added water and mushed it up good. Then, I hit the bag with a magnet and sure enough, many tiny bits of iron stuck to it.
It was around ’92 or so.
Magneto did the same trick in The Uncanny X-Men “Brunchageddon” series.

I was gifted a cappicola but I don’t have a deli slicer. I can shave off wisps at a time with a Chinese cleaver. It’s pretty freaking delicious but I need a solution on how to slice it. Maybe a mandolin would work?
How finely is your mandolin adjustable? Mine has stupid notches and never seems to have one at the blade position I want. So it lives in the “stuff I spent money on and am not throwing out but never use” drawer.
Really? My cheap ass one came with four inserts that are all double sided. I can go scary thin, or shred items quickly in it.
Use the guard though (thankfully my nail grew back).
It’s the angling adjustment not the inserts. At least with mine.
I had to change my fingerprints at work. I had it set to 1/16″, and it was so sharp that my finger went through twice before I felt it.
I learned the hard way that the best one is also one of the cheapest.
If you can fit it in the mandolin, it’ll work.
Maybe, but be careful, it might get clogged.
If it’s big enough and you got enough lube, anything is possible.
Depends on the angle of the blade on the mandolin. You want it to slice, not chop or shear.

Private homeownership interferes with fight against climate change, professor argues
https://www.thecollegefix.com/private-homeownership-interferes-with-fight-against-climate-change-professor-argues/
***
If you’ve heard that Green New Deal supporters want to increase government control over all facets of life more than they want to protect the environment, well, here’s more evidence of that.
An assistant professor of urban planning at UCLA argues in the far-left magazine The Nation that California is doomed as long as people keep owning homes.
“If we want to keep cities safe in the face of climate change, we need to seriously question the ideal of private homeownership,” says Kian Goh, who researches urban ecological design, “spatial politics” and social mobilization “in the context of climate change and global urbanization.”

Sometimes all it takes to change momentum is a fucking horrible targeting call.
who got ejected?
K. So i just watched it and it looks pretty bad to me. Targeting seemed fair.
The qb lowers his head as the guy is coming to hit him cleanly. What’s he supposed to do?
That doesn’t seem right at all. That would’ve been an awesome sack throughout the first 14 decades of college football. Stupid rule or ruling. Either way, puts a stink on this game.
#metoo
https://twitter.com/espn/status/1211115074351329280?s=21
Wade was on a trajectory to be below the helmet. Lawrence turns into the hit.
Hmmm. So your argument was that Lawrence intentionally threw his head in to get fucked up? I’ve watched the play over and over and it looks like Lawrence was trying to maintain balance in preparation for being tackled.
The Rules on targeting:
Wade lowered the head before attacking and initiated forcible contact with the crown of his helmet. YOu can thing the rule is bullshit and should be reformed, but as it stands it seems like it was Targeting to me.
Sloopy’s argument is that the rules shouldn’t apply to tOSU, and that any time the rules are applied it’s because some shady cabal is out to get tOSU.
Yep. Shitty call, but it’s been happening all year.
Yeah, that’s a fan’s take. That was at least the 3rd targeting of the game that wasn’t called. They finally went to replay.
In your defense, they’ve been very inconsistent about that call this year. The last three years it was automatic and at least half of the calls I saw were ones you are trying to claim that one was – where a guy goes in for a tackle around the waist or chest and the offensive guy falls or ducks into the contact.
But that one was absolutely clear. crown of the helmet to the face should be automatic.

So it goes.
Life lessons.
The fucking fix is in. From the missed PI call to the bullshit targeting on Wade.
The fix is in.
Forcible contact to the helmet. Its the rules buddy.
It shouldn’t be when the QB lowers his head into range.
Look I agree that the rules ought to be more lenient. But they aren’t, and this is consistent with how the rules have been applied all year.
And there’s been a lot of shitty calls all year. I really don’t care who the team is, if you’re not allowed to play football, why play football. Stupid rules are stupid rules and stupid calls are stupid calls.
And not to white knight for Sloop, but I don’t recall him ever defending that rule in the past. It’s a stupid rule regardless of the situation.
Its the rules buddy.
War on drugs. Same thinking.
No its not, and you know that. No one goes to prison and has their life ruined over the rule book in a football game.
Just giving you some shit. I don’t care about that game at all. Still think it’s a dumb call.
Especially that, when you play the game you agree to play by the rules…
It’s a terribly written rule and because of that you get situations exactly like this. Let them play. You can’t blame someone for getting pissed off when a poorly written rule that shouldn’t exist in the first place screws over their team.
I can agree that the rule is poorly written, and disruptive. I agree that it is frustrating when your team gets screwed over for the call. But i don’t think it is necessarily a bad call, when it’s consistent with how the rule has been enforced throughout the season.
Think of the flip side. If wade hadn’t been ejected there would be plenty of Clemson fans talking about how the Refs were in for OSU because they didn’t enforce the Targeting call.
So yeah its a shitty rule. But at the same time i don’t see it being egregiously enforced in a way that isn’t consistent with how the rule was written and has been enforced in the past.
That why I mentioned the drug war. Just saying that getting screwed by rules that shouldn’t exist, sucks.
Finally. I’ll Concede that it’s super shitty when a shitty rule screws your teams momentum and fucks up the game for you. Especially one that looks to be pretty subjective.
So i’m not arguing that sloopy is wrong for being frustrated over the call.
Well, games are dictated by rules, life is limited by them, not quite a great comparison.
Check out the “no fumble” call below. What a joke.
Well they are suspended for one game, which may result in missing their opportunity to impress NFL scouts, resulting in their draft status dropping, resulting in being drafted by the Browns. Prison sounds not so bad after that. Actually,the higher your draft stock is the more likely you are going to be drafted by the Browns so maybe targeting benefits some players.
FTFY
Also none of this matters. LSU is fucking insane good. They are gonna beat whi ever wins this game.
Fuck tosu, and Fuck all the fans who think that the rules shouldn’t apply to tosu.
Your shilling is so obnoxious that I’m almost to the point that tosu could wind up like Marshall and I wouldn’t care.
SHOTS FIRED
Yeah, we shouldn’t expect it to be called properly.
Fuck off.
To add fuel to the fire, I thought the rule was hit the kicking leg and it’s running into the kicker, hit the plant leg and it’s roughing.
That’s the rule, but he went through both legs. That was a good call.

Anna Kendrick is everywhere. Not that I’m complaining. Totally crushing on that.
I know her only from the Cups song, which is more than enough. She’s delectable but any more of her would ruin it.
Dunno what it is but ever since seeing her one of those hotel commercials I find her less attractive than before.
Well send her my way then. Any other adorable babes as well.
Isn’t she the one in all those Hilton commercials?
But yeah, she’s hot.
I think it’s Hilton. There’s one where she is sitting at the edge of a pool. Maybe it’s something with the lighting but she looks different and it’s not a good different. Now every time I see her I can’t get that image out of my head.
I’ve mentioned that The Accountant is a guilty pleasure, and she’s a big part of it.
I saw that very recently and I very much liked it.
Anna Kendrick is adorable. There is something about her face that is unique and pretty, in a Jennifer-Grey’s-nose kind of way. She does not look like every other actress.
My favorite little moment is when the thugs come to the farm to kill him and the accountant pulls his belt off as he’s about to get into it with one of the thugs
He just casually flicks the guy in the face with the end of the belt before getting set – the “what the fuck did I get into?” reaction from the bad guy is hilarious and a great little piece of acting.
I LOLd at that.
I really liked that the girl was not a) stupid and in fact was very smart, b) not a love interest, and c) seemed to just try to get on with her life and pick up the mess.
I also did not see the epilogue coming, when his cohort is revealed, which I thought was very sweet.

Here’s the rule:
https://twitter.com/barstoolsports/status/1211137151846535168?s=21
I mean joking aside…. I’m impressed.
That might be the worst call I’ve ever seen. And the fact that it’s an overturn with the benefit of replay, is truly shocking.
The non-touchdown call against the Pats a couple weeks ago was more egregious but, yes, that was a bad call.
Yeah that was a fucking fumble. That’s bullshit. And to take back a touchdown. That’s just stupid.
I’m not gonna base a reaction on a slow mo vid. Slow mo has ruined sports.
But the slow mo is what they used to overturn the call on the field.
Then, a bad call. IT MUST MEAN TRUMP IS TRYING TO CONTROL THE GAME!
You’re something else.
Or Someone Else!
The commentators claimed otherwise. *shrug*
Huh?
I heard them jawing that the reviewers were looking at it in actual speed. Maybe it was just that they “should be” and “didn’t know”. That’s always possible.
Ah, I see. Well, if they are doing video reviews at full speed, I’m not sure what the point of it all is.
To piss off spectators who see it at slow motion?
Well, sure. There’s that.
At full speed, it does look like it possibly could have been incomplete. But why have a replay at slow motion if you can’t then say: yeah the guy had control of the ball.
Either way OSU got their score… eventually
I have zero attachment to either team and I call fumble.
I hate Ohio State and I call that a fumble.
It’s a goddamn fumble. Not even debatable.
I won’t pay for ESPN, so I only get ‘ESPNUHD’ – whatever the fuck that is. Jesus, they are trying to make football as hard as possible to watch. It’s split into 3 screens – 2 tiny ones on the left, and a larger one on the right. There are two idiots giving vapid commentary (or they were, before mute button) on the lower left, and the other screens are switching back and forth between live action and endless replays, running back wards and forwards.
If you were deliberately trying to make watching a football game as annoying as hell, congrats, ESPN! You’ve achieved your goal. I’m probably going to go back to watching The Hobbit on TBS, which was a movie that sucked.
I get that one, plus the regular channel, plus “Skycast” which is kind of neat because you hear the stadium dude instead of the morons calling the game from the booth.
Cool. Sorry you have to pay for it, Rhy.
How do you get ESPN-anything without paying for it…?
But yeah I want to cut the cord some day. ESPN+ is actually pretty good for 5 bucks a month.
Note: I do actually pay for satellite ‘cable’.
I think some of the ‘premium’ channels go free for certain events. My penny wise/pound foolish philosophy won’t allow me to spend anything so I could actually watch soccer for anything other than the Mexican League on the local Spanish channels. (Along with occasional showings on NBC and TBS.)
Every few years they revisit that rule trying to make it ‘less subjective’. Somehow every revision seems to make it worse. Let’s go back to two feet (or other body parts if he is falling) in control like the sideline rule in the nfl. It’s always going to be subjective but at least that version had a clear definition of the how long you had to control it and generally it’s clear when someone is bobbling the ball.
Did Equis basically copied that old Budweiser I love you man commercial.

Excellent! I would copy that into a text doc for future use if I thought for a second I could ever remember where, or even that I had, saved it.
Yeah, I know where I’d be putting my money.
I hope so. Maybe we can get a Big Ten officiating crew in next week and the game will end with everyone being ejected.
We got fucked.
That fucking sucks.
Even though it was a poorly officiated game, OSU lost it by going 0 TDs for 4 tries in the red zone. Can’t play like that and win against a top tier team.
For sure. I was just saying it sucks to go out on an interception.
We’d have been taking a knee if they got that goddamn PI in the end zone call right, hadn’t called that bill shot targeting, and called a catch and fumble when the guy took six fucking steps with the ball.
Fuck this shit. We got fucked over.
Yeah the fumble was shit.
Small consolation, but at least your team made it to the playoffs.
For my money the fumble was the most egregious call. The PI was bad, too. Like I say, I was pulling for Clemson and I couldn’t excuse those two. I think the targeting call was debatable, but in the current environment with concussions and so forth they’re going to err on the side of caution, especially when the QB might have sold it a little bit.
I think the targeting call was defensible, but that fumble review call was stunningly wrong. As in, how do you get it so completely wrong without getting paid off?
And it always sucks to lose a game on a blown call.

If I were a tattoo guy, I’d get that in my forearm.
However, I really want that tattooed on a bunch of other people I know.
I’m not a tattoo guy, but if I was I might get one of my favorite sayings:
memento mori (remember that you will die)
-or-
there is no point in tip-toeing through life just to arrive safely at death
Speaking of tattoos- I saw a guy with throat tatts and full sleeves. And wearing a yarmulke.
Oy.
That’s not how that works.
Could have converted or returned to religion after.
Redemption is out of style these days.
I started to write about that – what is the position on tattoos before conversation? Jewish burial still no-go?
I would be surprised at any Jewish cemetery refusing to bury someone who got tattoos before they converted, just like Holocaust survivors who got tattoos against their will are still buried in the grounds.
My siblings worked in a Jewish retirement home a while back. One thing to know intellectually about those tattoos, another to see one on an otherwise apparently normal old person.

27 You must not cut off the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard. 28 You must not make any cuts in your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.

Whenever I see someone with a bible verse tattoo, I have to wonder if they know what’s in there.
I’d be curious to see that passage explained, as in, what then-current cultural practice was actually being condemned?
Looking like half the metro guys in any city in the western world circa the now. It was prophetic, I suppose. The Angel of Death is coming back to purge the cities of manscaping and GQ subscriptions.
That’s a shit poem. It doesn’t Rhyme a lick.
To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else – means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.

I’m just yankin chains tonight. I liked both the poems.

Anyone want to take odds that in ten years it will be the same or worse?
It the options are same and worse, I know which one I’m choosing.
About the same odds that California will have a functioning high speed train.
Despite one questionable call, that was a hell of a football game. LSU and Clemson should be a good finish.
Any lines set yet? I’m guessing LSU is heavily favored
My money is on LSU.
I’m seeing LSU laying 4 1/2 at -113. That…that might be the best value you’ll see on that line. I have a feeling LSU is going to break Clemson.
LSU -4.5
Despite
one questionable callbeing college, that wasa hell ofa football game.a story to inspire us all:

“Facial injuries are the worst because as humans, we speak to each other by looking at each other’s faces,” Redman said. “Anytime you have a facial disfigurement it causes people to do a double-take.”
“Coming back from one of my surgeries in Chicago, I had a lot of people looking at me and it frustrated me,” he continued. “So, I went home on the computer and I went to a make-your-own-T-shirt website and made a shirt with an American flag on the back, and I called it ‘Wounded Wear.’ On the front, it said, ‘Stop staring. I got shot by a machine gun. It would have killed you.’ And, that was the very first Wounded Wear shirt that we ever made.”

whelp……I hope someone is there to check on Sloop.
Im going to bed, pissed @ 3 really bad calls.
I’m non “NotAdahn” but I told jugsy a month ago, “the NCAA wants a pure SEC championship, and they still have a boner over OSU from that Treschel mess. There’s no way OSU will be in the playoffs.”
Right or wrong, I was still right.
I’m pissed because Not Adahn is responsible for me buying a pistol tonight that I really didn’t want.
I dunno about the NCAA, but ESPN definitely wants an all SEC playoff. Maybe toss in a west coast school just to bring in the audience.
All month it has been “Ohio State has been tested by all these tough games and Clemson hasn’t”. Well, Penn State turns out to be on par with a mid major – thanks for letting us know that, Memphis.
I will say that I was quite impressed with Clemson’s ability to get away with leaving receivers totally uncovered in the flat all night. Instead of throwing downfield, they should have kept taking the 7-12 yard gains they were offering up for free. Strangest defensive alignment I’ve ever seen.
Well, Clemson’s in the ACC, but it does kind of feel like an SEC team.

I remember when that guy got disqualified from Coney Island for some reason I couldn’t be bothered to figure out but man he still wanted to be in front of a camera.
Racism, it’s always racism.
I seem to remember that was one suggested explanation.
It always is.
I don’t give a shit about college football, but the way Sloopy reacted, I’m sure the best team won. I wrote a script, even asked another actual human for thoughts. He says it’s good. Which means it’s shit. But that is what you’re gonna get.
Watching Roadhouse with the wife and smoking weed. I’ve seen this movie a few times over the years and have always thought it was interesting that there was little police action, but tonite I am noticing that there is absolutely zero public law enforcement in the entire movie. Explosions, arson, murder, entire car dealerships getting crushed by a monster truck. Not a single police officer.
Next thing you know, you’re watching Tiger Warsaw. It’s a slippery slope, that’s why the government should choose what you get to see.
You’re stronger than me. That was a pretty bad movie.
It’s one of those it’s-so-bad-it’s-awesome movies.
Yeah, sort of. I get the fun of rewatching it knowing how bad it is. But it’s got a crappy plot and Swayze’s supposed death blow is such transparent bullshit.
Don’t you DARE criticize the throat rip, young man!!
It also has the giant redneck character ‘Tinker’ (John Young) who, when being questioned as to whether he saw vigilante justice applied to his villainous boss, uttered his big line – “Polar bear fell on me.”
Richard Widmark is good in it.

Anyone watch college football tonight?
Why? Real football is on tomorrow.
(gives what ever secret sign there is for Packers fans that is equivalent to the racist OK sign)
I watched my first college football games ever this weekend in order to see what all the fuss was about. Also, I was bored.
But yeah I concluded that it’s hard to get invested unless you have some connection to one of the good schools and where I grew up that was never going to happen.
So much this Rhywun. I couldn’t care less about these games.

real chest bursters – parasitic larvae burst from caterpillar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMG-LWyNcAs
ugh nature is disgusting
The caterpillar survives somehow and uses its own silk to cover the larvae. Then it protects them until it starves to death.
♫ It’s the circle of life!
At least it’s not that snail with the parasitic larvae pulsing up and down its eyestalks that circulated a couple years ago.
There’s a whole class of parasites that eat sex organs.
***
Sacculina is a genus of barnacles that is a parasitic castrator of crabs.
…
When a female Sacculina is implanted in a male crab it interferes with the crab’s hormonal balance. This sterilizes it and changes the bodily layout of the crab to resemble that of a female crab by widening and flattening its abdomen, among other things. The female Sacculina then forces the crab’s body to release hormones, causing it to act like a female crab, even to the point of performing female mating dances. If the parasite is removed from the host, female crabs will normally regenerate new ovarian tissue, while males usually develops complete or partial ovaries instead of testes.

This is infuriating.
The fact that it’s not national news is outrageous. I learned of it through the Facebook CA Republican group.

The cops involved should be arrested for attempted murder, burglary, and every other charge that applies.
No tears would be shed if a fatal B&E event happened to them.
Here’s (another) thing I don’t get about these stories.
Why is an innocent person expected to believe some apes invading their home when they say they’re the police? Do they ever pause and consider that maybe that’s a tactic that a criminal might also use…?
I can confirm it made it to one of three places: The Blaze, Hot Air, or, Instapundit…I saw it last week listed on one of those places.
OK, it’s possible that one of our Discord glibs posted a link to it, but I don’t think that’s where I read about it (no ‘social media’, in the common parlance, for me).
See if you can spot the line that makes you say WTF?

I think this LePetomane wannabe ought to be putting that money into ballistic vests and whatnot–he doesn’t seem to realize that he’s not going to just be going up against Virginians with his bullshit.
while this can be said of many issues, I can easily see this becoming a no-joke shooting war very easily.
I am hoping that this goes in a new vector where LEO’s decline enforcement of the unconstitutional laws and force the state to take action against the local LEO’s which ends up in higher court where cooler heads see where this is going and strike down the laws.
So Wifey went to horse-sit for a few days but before she left she cooked about three weeks of meals for me. I don’t know whether to feel grateful or just a little insulted. When she left she handed me 40 bucks cash for gas and asked me to keep an eye on the fish tanks. Has the time arrow reversed? I’m 16 again.
Hey–40 bucks; double what you find downtown….so I’ve been told.
Also, party @ Festus’ place!
Festus keeps a machete beside the front door. Boots off or else!

“Boots”, he says… I may be in Texas, but I’m no C&W feller.
Have you ever tried to clean up after 300 drunken Canadian kids wearing moon-boots and the like? Didn’t think so…

That’s what she said.
Oh, to hope so!
Some drunken asshole took down one of those galvanized light standards not far from home. I saw it laying in the snowbank today on my way to work. Internet was actually out for awhile and again just now. How the fuck do you cleave one of those things off? I’d venture that you would have to hit it juuuuust right.
Nevermind. Was at a lake party when I was 16 and some guy that I knew broad-sided the security gate. It pierced the driver’s door, killing him pretty much instantly and pinned in the passenger. The teen-aged screams were something to behold. Lucky for me and Wes, we were just about peaking on two tabs each of acid. Fun times. I don’t remember how we got home that night. Whether age or PTSD I’ll never know.
Whoa. Haven’t remembered that one for awhile. There are more.
I would have guessed tOSU fans whining about the refs.
This really stuck in your craw, huh?
Was it the death, acid or teen-aged screams that clued you in?
I don’t see Ted doing acid. That much.
Nope, just wine and vodka for me.
