The good news is, I only had to shoot two very large ladies to get my Walmart Black Friday deals. Bad news is, both will recover because I was using a light load on a .25. Just enough to let them know I was serious. You don’t want too energetic a round, you’d hate to hit a random kid or dog some irresponsible Florida person has brought to the annual Black Friday Brawl with a through-and-through.
Here, have some links with your leftovers:
Nothing wrong with the London cops’ aim. Just like a criminal to bring a knife to a gun fight, eh?
This is sad, but hopefully they weren’t too overcooked. I wonder what giraffe taste like.
Is it any wonder she was teacher of the year?
Fatal herpes virus passed from monkey to human lab worker. No bites reported. Mmhmm.

I do feel bad for the workers. Even the most ornery of animals can grow on you.
That’s what Mrs. Animal says.
HI-YO
That motherfkin’ theme music……LET ‘ER RIP!
Is it any wonder she was teacher of the year?
Did drugs also fall out of her butt?
The kid got a B– but she didn’t give an F.
I assume that’s why he went to the police.
Too much tooth too little tongue.

Finally 28 days later is happening!
I got a pretty good deal on a TV through Newegg. Hopefully the TV will actually show up. ..
Your neighbors thank you…
…because they’re going to steal it?
Well, I was only going to imply it.
Things were rather calm and civilized at the store I went to.
Got myself a whole box of plastic sisters, and a hive tyrant.
Plastic sisters?
The second one has to be a dictator bee.
Plastic. Sisters. (of Battle)
What is even wrong with you primitives? Games are supposed to be played on computers, like God intended.
Games?
I assemble, and paint miniatures. I haven’t played in ages.
The I don’t even know what you’re going.
“Model trains”. See how easy that was UCS?
No, there are no trains.
I know, but people actually know what model trains are. Close enough.
Though I think I will name the Hive Tyrant “Dictator Bee”
Jesus,that’s an expressive hobby.
Well, an alternative name is “Plastic Crack”. This is why I paid my bills and made any charitable donations before I bought more.
charitable donations –
But…curmudgeon?!?
Wait, did I say that?
Ignore that remark.
Charity call them donations to set up her defense in court.
Nice, have fun painting, seriously have fun
Won’t have too many days where it’s suitable to basecoat them until spring.
Expensive, too.
YAY! I heard there were lots of problems with having that set in stock; I’m glad you got one. How do you like them? Is it true that they are significantly larger than the old metal Sisters, so as to require new purchases?
A: There were at least three non-pre order boxes at my regular store.
B: I have not assembled any yet, so I don’t know the final size or full appearance
C: I never bought the metal versions because I don’t like working with metal minis.
I think they’re less bulky than the metal ones, and for scale, it appears that the Canoness is the same height as real space marines (ie, non-primaris) models
🙁 This first box is all monopose minis… The same way the first Primaris box was. I suppose the individual unit boxes will have all the options.
I mean this box doesn’t even have meltaguns for the basic sisters.
No Meltaguns? For SoB?
Now I’m counting heads to see how many there are. There’s not enough helmets for all of them. There are seventeen armored sisters, and only eleven helmets.
I just assembled one of the Seraphim, and the models look fantastic. They are noticably taller than previous edition models. On tiptoe (due to the pose of the seraphim model) she is not quite as tall as a primaris librarian, and slightly taller than a real space marine. Might be bigger than the sisters of silence, or the same size, not sure, haven’t dug out one of those for comparison.
I played Warhammer Online for about 6 hours because a friend was a fan, that is the extent of my knowledge and exposure. I assume these are classes of a faction?
The Seraphim are the jump-pack equipped infantry of the Sister of Battle. Their jump packs are stylized to look like wings.
Three giraffes
Ok
three red river hogs
Alright
three bongos
ermmm
and a springbok
OK, now you’re just making shit up
Shouldn’t the last one have been a partridge in a pear tree?
No South African ruggers were injured in the making of this joke.
Rugger, please.
More bongos.
Is that like a maibock?
I went down a rabbit hole and found this:
The strongest ice-beer, Schorschbräu, is produced by a Franconian company; it has 57% ABV (alcohol by volume), which claims to be a world record for beer ABV.[4]
57 percent? Isn’t that just whiskey?
114 proof is a bit high even to be a tasty whiskey.
It’s not supposed to be tasty, it’s supposed to be the most alcoholic freeze-distilled product they can make.
No distillation, just freeze concentration to remove the water. Very big legal difference. I believe BrewDog was doing another batch of the End of History a while back.
“The last recorded case of herpes B in a human human was in 2008, and the last known fatality was in 1997 after researcher Elizabeth Griffin was splashed in the eye with monkey body fluids at Yerkes National Primate Research Centre.”

I saw Monkey Body Fluids at Coachella a couple of years ago. They were alright, nothing to die for.
Plastic Sisters of Battle were the opening act.
“At the time of her death, Beth was a research assistant at Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. At Yerkes, Beth was engaged in behavioral research on hormonal influences in Rhesus macaques, and was in the process of applying to graduate schools to continue her pursuit of studies and research in the biological/psychological sciences.
Beth’s unfortunate and needless death not only robbed her family and friends of her vibrant presence, but deprived the larger world of medicine of her untold potential in the field of animal research. Beth’s incident and death exposed vulnerable areas in institutional policies and practices which potentially sabotage biosafety, biosecurity, and effective emergency response to biological exposures. As a result, Beth’s family established The Elizabeth R. Griffin Research Foundation – now the Elizabeth R. Griffin Program at Georgetown University’s Center for Global Health Science and Security – with the fervent desire that the scientific community and the general public could continue to learn the larger lessons and insights her case can provide from a life that had so much to offer the world.”

“Randi Chaverria, a 36-year-old family and consumer science teacher at Round Rock High School, was arrested Tuesday after a student told police she had performed oral on him twice in October, according to an affidavit obtained by KVUE.”
Is that what they call “home economics”?
Probably. If I could have chosen a teacher to ruin my life it would have been our HS’s home ec teacher.
She’s better looking than any of my teachers past 5th grade.
Easy to understand why all the grade school teachers identified as Miss.
I need more pictures before I can make that determination.
She was just showing how to ensure no pregnancy occurs, that’s a vital

A man was shot dead by an armed officer near London Bridge.
I hope he then cut his head off and put it on a pike. The only reasonable response for this crime.
I feel like a fake suicide vest is as stupid as a fake gun/unloaded gun.
You have to tar it first. Otherwise it doesn’t last long enough to encourage civility.
A man armed with a knife and wearing what turned out to be a phony suicide explosives vest was shot dead by an armed officer near London Bridge on Friday after being wrestled to the ground by passersby in what the police said was a terror-related incident.
Commonsense knife control isn’t working. Britain will have to add “commonsense phony suicide explosives vest” control to the mix.
Three giraffes, three red river hogs, three bongos and a springbok were killed in the blaze, the park’s co-owner told the Record-Courier.
Ouch.
Randi Chaverria, a 36-year-old family and consumer science teacher at Round Rock High School, was arrested Tuesday after a student told police she had performed oral on him twice in October, according to an affidavit obtained by KVUE.
He told the cops or did his parents tell the cops?
Herpes B is common in monkeys, with over half of rhesus Macaques, for example, thought to be carriers of the virus.
The B virus was identified in 1932. It’s rare in humans but in the 31 recorded cases of infection 21 of them have been fatal.,/em>

The Flathead Valley, Montana crime update.
At least there was no serious crime like teenager smoking or a drive off at the gas station when the customer went home to get his wallet. Flathead Valley sounds crime ridden, what with someone over staying their welcome. Did the police recommend paying the ‘guest’ so she’d leave?
Hmm, low crime, some of the most beautiful country on Earth, sounds ideal. How hard can it possibly be to get through 10 foot snowdrifts?
You just have to drive faster.
The Jeremy Clarkson solution.
I have a refrigerator full of leftovers, 80% of a fifth of Bulleit Rye, a full bottle of Elijah Craig, and a full bottle of Glenmorangie Lasanta, and no plans except to reduce my stock. Life is good.

I don’t know, I think you’d better drink them up to make sure!
Could have a small Glib meet up with that inventory.

The food was great, and we had a great conversation.

Everything you need to know
Modern Monetary Theory (AKA MMT) is the latest incarnation of a long-running current in economic thought, once called Chartalism, which has gained prominence in recent years as an alternative to austerity economics, whose dictates have immiserated millions, destabilized world politics, and threaten the extinction of the human race thanks to climate inaction in the guise of “fiscal restraint.”
Sounds legit.
I read things like this and my thoughts turn to dreams of helicopters.
And even when governments do spend money into existence to buy things the private sector is using, it needn’t be inflationary. The most prominent example of massive, non-inflationary public spending is WWII, when governments procured a huge amount of things the private sector was using (including labor and materials) but despite all that spending, states were able to control inflation by selling war bonds, which sequestered away the new capital so it wasn’t available to chase the things the state needed to tool up for war.
And they did it all without mandating rationed goods for the proles or anything!! MAGIC!
MMT is the finance equivalent of believing that renewables can meet our energy needs. Magical thinking at its finest.
Mises Institute on Chartalism: https://mises.org/wire/ludwig-von-mises-and-nature-money
“Knapp’s views were not well received at first,12 but did find early support from prominent bankers13 and eventually won many converts to the state theory of money. His chartalist theory did, after all, perfectly complement the statist convictions already prevalent among German economic professors. As Mises later observed:
‘The statist school of German economics has probably reached its high point in Georg Friedrich Knapp’s State Theory of Money. It is not per se remarkable that this theory has been formulated; after all, its tenets have been championed for centuries in the writings of canonists, jurists, romantics, and certain socialists. What was remarkable was rather the success of the book”
Knapp’s fundamental error was in failing to see that government orders can only be relevant in the context of presently existing contracts involving deferred payments. Ex post, governments can determine what should be counted as “money” and, hence, what should be counted as payment. But it does not have the power to impose on market participants the future use of any means of exchange”
Charlatanism indeed.
*re-reads* huh, they misspelled it.
MMT’s core precept is that governments first spend money into existence and then tax it out of existence (contrast this with the standard account that says that governments must tax citizens to pay for programs, which raises the question, “How did the citizens get the money to pay for their taxes unless the government first spent that money into existence, given that governments are the sole source of currency?”).
tl;dr- I HAVE NOT THE FAINTEST CLUE HOW WEALTH IS CREATED.
Alternate:
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT VALUE IS
To be fair, I have a hard time wrapping my mind around fiat currency. I don’t think it is very intuitive. My understanding is banks create most money through fractional lending, based on deposits. But where did the very first dollar come from? IDK, same place as the Big Bang I guess.
The first dollar came from a dictator expropriating somebody else’s wealth.
Banks create money by being given permission by the Fed to loan money they do not have. Fractional reserve rules are simply the ‘formula’ the Fed expresses that permission in terms of. It is all smoke and mirrors. The intuitive difficulty people have in understanding it is because people are sane and have difficulty believing in ‘dollars’ that have no physical existence whatsoever. It’s all notations in a ledger. The Fed tells your lender they can ‘loan’ you $200k that the lender does not have in any real sense. The lender sends a message to the title company (a wire) saying basically “we will guarantee that when you send messages or notes (wires and checks) to other people/companies, we’ll be responsible for them”. The title company sends a message to the Seller’s lender that says Seller no longer owes you money, here’s Buyer’s lender’s guarantee. You get a house, Seller no longer owes money, now you owe it to someone new, and behind the scenes Seller’s lender changes a notation from we hold this note worth x, to a notation that says we have x ‘dollars’.
I think there was a “peace” attack in the Netherlands too.

A French legislative committee opened a wider debate on Monday over whether to ban Black Friday.
——-
Black Friday sales contribute to waste and overconsumption, a group of French lawmakers have said, arguing that the annual retail extravaganza should be banned.
The U.S. tradition of shopping the day after the Thanksgiving holiday has become one of the most important dates for retailers in countries all over the world. Brands try to attract customers with what’s described as more attractive pricing.
However, some French lawmakers have voiced their opposition against Black Friday due to the environmental impacts, as well as its focus on large online retailers at the expense of smaller businesses.
Elisabeth Borne, France’s minister for environmental transition, told a French radio station Thursday that she is conscious that it’s important for many French citizens take advantage of promotions and that she’s delighted if Black Friday helps small businesses. “But the truth is that it is first and foremost an enormous commercial operation by big online retailers,” she said according to CNBC translation.
Consumerism will be the death of Planet Earth. Ban kkkapitalism.
“Minister for environmental transition”, eh?
I think there’s still room for more austerity.
Yeah, they probably have a dozen other ministers whose job is to wreck the economy.
Isn’t that all of them?
Gosh Damnit. I wrote a fake article about this this morning. and i was beaten to it by the frogs
“But the truth is that it is first and foremost an enormous commercial operation by big online retailers
There was no black friday before the Internet.
Because consumers are too stupid to decide for themselves if the pricing is more attractive.
look at Mr. I-Passed-Kindergarten-Math over here, fuckin bigshot.
Ahh. SIL is gone and so is my vodka supply but it was a pretty uneventful visit.
Drunk sister in law? I’ve seen that film.

Nope. She was on good behavior this time. Because of the wife’s situation, the sister is back in the dominant position, which makes her less insecure.
I refuse to marry any woman who won’t walk down the aisle to this.

The irony is that Xi Jinping’s father’s claim to fame is that he was able to deftly negotiate a peaceful solution to Xinjiang and Tibetan irredentism shortly after the founding of the PRC.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
and thank you from the bottom of my heart for the chance to say that.
I expected this and was not disappointed.
It is brilliantly made. It is woke, and yet, it vividly depicts the consequences of police brutality against the non-woke. It is deeply cynical.
I watched the first episode, found myself routing for the Whiteys to kill the masked cops. Decided it was unhealthy and haven’t watched since.
I have started watching “The Boys” on Amazon. It’s about superheroes, how most of them are complete dicks, and the guys who try to kill them
The Boys is great. It shifts into high gear with episode 4 and ramps up hard from there.
The Umbrella Academy is another interesting teen superhero series.
The masked cops aren’t the good guys. There are no good guys.
The show assumes that “woke” won. It doesn’t actually celebrate this.
Victims of Brexit
UK auto production is already plummeting and Brexit could make things even worse, limiting annual output to just 1 million cars, about half what the industry was planning to make in 2020 just a few years ago.
The number of vehicles produced in Britain slumped 4% in October, according to data published Thursday by the UK Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. Car production has now declined for 16 of the past 17 months.
“Yet another month of falling car production makes these extremely worrying times for the sector,” SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes said in a statement. “Our global competitiveness is under threat.”
I’m surprised they managed to resist the temptation to spin this as good news.
My wife bought a British made car last year. I kind of shuddered when I opened the door a saw where it was assembled.
Let me guess, the steering wheel was in the wrong place.
In the “boot”, yeah.

Ok Boomer……The 10 most desired tech gifts of the 1970s, year by year
Oof. I looked at the top toys of the ’70s and I owned most of them.
Made 726 miles in 11 hours and 23 minutes, good time for losing 30-40 minutes due to a wreck. Saw one political bumber stiker and two Billboards, the former was for Mayor Pete (on a Subaru) the later were both for Tulsi, in SC. So that’s where the pulse of the nation is at.
Also, I was late for the WAWR post and no one reads old threads and this is important so I’m putting it here. ‘Gone to Texas’ does not have the ‘Endeavor to persevere’ speech, none the less, it and the the sequel “The Vengeance Trail Of Josey Wales” are very enjoyable reads. Why they didn’t make a movie out of the second book is a mystery to me, it would make almost as good a flick as the original.

Yep,
Jarflax’sI mean whomever’s generosity inspired me to throw in a triffling even though you’ve reach the goal, get a couple extra tall cans, Yuse, or hell splurge and get some good beer, like Strohs.I got some Natty Ice, 8$ a 15 pack, good enough, I’m not rich,
yet
My friend, go for the Milwaukee’s Diet Beast.
Here in Ohio, $13.99/30
TALL CANS!
Sometimes in the near future, the 3 of us need to get together and drink tall cans. I’ll bring Natty Bo, Baltimore’s finest.
I mean, real beer. Natty Bo is about 4.5% ABV, so real beer.
Nice!
Now get the fuck out of CA. ?
Yes Sir! ASAP, within a week
Yeah, before we have to build a wall around it to stop them from escaping.
Eh, extra money won’t hurt. Good luck!
So just cracked Hoppin’ Frog’s Black Friday release Q.O.R.I.S. the Quasher. A quadruple imperial oatmeal stout, per the bottle, is clocks in at 15.4% ABV. It’s a damn big roasty beer with the alcohol popping through to remind you that it’s there. I also picked up some Devil’s Strip and Vanilla BA B.O.R.I.S. as well.
Drinking the world’s best beer, Heineken of course. Also picked of a 12 of Yuengling Golden Pilsner. When this is gone, I’m taking a break from beer for a while, I have about 10 unwanted lbs I need to get rid of, again.
My wife bought the biggest white mushrooms I’ve ever seen yesterday. Things are monstrosities. She baked them stuffed with spinach, garlic, and something else I don’t know, but they are fucking delicious.
I’ve still got about 25 pounds to drop by April based on my goal, and the past couple of months, I should be able to hit that. I have the feeling that next weekend will be the worse one for weight, going to a board game convention in Philly. I’ve still got some of my niece’s Sangria to work through as well as two kegs of homebrew that are on tap in my basement.
I had no idea this existed.

If anyone has not played Greedfall, I’d highly recommend it. The story and characters in the game are the best I’ve seen in a game. Spiders took a huge step up with this. There are some problems with balance in the game, such as some battles are way too easy and others are brutal. Also, the way you gain levels with skills and attributes is a little fucked up.
I’m in a battle right now, I had to pause it to let my mouse hand rest, that has been going on for about 20 minutes. This vulture/crow looking beast. I’ve shot that thing probably 60 times, one of my party has probably put about another 30 rounds in it, while my other party member has been hacking on it with a sword and the beast just will not die.
Also, I really cannot believe people saying they finished this thing in 25 hours. I have 145 hours in and I stopped doing anything but the main quest around 50 hours ago. People on the internet are sometimes, often, completely full of shit.
Fuck it, I give it up for tonight. I need to reach science level 2 so I can craft bullets. Looks like about 150 rounds will drop it.
I see. So when sober you play Greedfall, and when drunk switch to RDR2?
Something like that.
R2D2 can be pretty rough sometimes when your partners get you ambushed. I guess that’s what it’s like when you hang with a bunch of scoundrels. I still can’t forget the bar fight my bud got us in where I got thrown through the front window and beaten half to death in the mud outside in the street.
RDR2. It’s almost like I’m going that on purpose.

I’ve been eating Greedfall and Sekiro can’t decide which to get.
Eying* damn it autocorrect
Whichever one doesn’t cause digestive problems.
Depending on what you want. From what I gather, Sekiro is an action game and Greedfall is an action RPG. Greedfall is well worth it, never played Sekiro since I’m not really into non-RPG games.
I’ve got Greedfall on my list, but I’ve got a backlog that provides enough shame. Cyberpunk is on my radar, as are Greedfall, Outward, and the Outer Worlds. Paranoia is something I’m interested in as is FarCry 5. I’m at the point now that I generally wait until a game falls under $15 for me to pick it up.
“Cyberpunk is on my radar”
Of course it is.
I’m not really sure about Outer Worlds. Far Cry 5 is insanely fun. If you like driving in games, there’s no equal to it, not even GTA5.
Outward is great, but there is no fast travel, at least not when I last played it, and the difficulty level is brutal.

Does a bear shit in an SUV?
If a space safe loving hipster is protecting said SUV, then I guess, yes.
Look at the skinny jean wearing wokester hero. I mean at least he wouldn’t vote for a Nazi, amirite?
Wow, dude’s lucky that bear didn’t come after him.
“Come at me,
BroBear.”I thought we were suppose to have a cure for viruses by now.
There has been progress.
We can’t allow that. Because you shitlords have more cargo. just remember, health is not a goal, health ‘equity’ is the goal. Get equally sick, you deplorable.
I’m trying for happy drunk tonight, sounds like you are going the other way. I did that last week.
As long as you’re equally happy. Happiness Equity is the goal. Otherwise, be equally miserable. Did I say that I hate people?
I’m drinking tomorrow for The Game. Can’t wait.
Glad its not only me.
I expect Sloopy is already passed-out.
We were almost there, but then we got woke and decided that health equity is the most important thing. I mean it’s OK if a virus kills you, as long as it kills everyone else equally.
So I am thinking of pulling the trigger and buying a new gaming PC, any of you more knowledgeable Glibs have an opinion on how valuable the upgrade to the RTX 2070 is from the 2060?
This is what I am looking at, assuming I can get drunk enough to convince myself that spending that much money is worthwhile.
Odd, the link works from the email.
Trying again.
Just saying. I upgraded my CPU to an i9 with 10 cores and with the 1080ti, there isn’t any games I can’t play on maxed out graphics settings. I crank it down on RDR2 if I’m getting in a gun battle so that I can get 80-90 FPS.
I’d like to have a 2080ti, but it’s just not worth it right now.
You mean a 2060 RTX to a 2070?
Just my opinion, but I honestly would not bother right now. The prices are insane. Get a 1080ti, unless you can’t do without ray tracing.
And there’s no way I would even invest in a 2080ti with only 11G of ram. I’ll wait until the 24G ones are released. Or maybe they already are, but I am sure as fuck not paying $1400 for a 2080ti with 11G of ram.
So, the most important thing is your GPU. But a card with 60 or 70 for the last digits are not really serious gaming cards. Get the best 80 series you can buy. I had 2 1070s in SLI and my 1080ti just blew them out of the water.
