We’re having a bunch of work done on the house and the project has begun. Yesterday, I had a guy running a Smart car sized concrete cutter on the patio. Today, it was demolition of the stone facade on the front of the house, Monday will be an excavator removing the patio and so on, and so forth. And there’s an outhouse on my driveway.
Birthdays! Yep, they were had today.

How can something so subjective as sex appeal have anything scientific about it?
Besides BAC. That might be study-able.
Rohypnol didn’t develop itself.
Ask your Uncle about….Rofinex
You joke, but it’s happened to me.
Fortunately the bartender was suspicious of the “businessman” chatting me up in 1999 when I was on a work trip. So he called over the coworker who came in with me and was playing darts and alerted him. Coworker was a 6’5” former linebacker so he was able to get me out of there and safely ensconced in my hotel room, where I woke up the next morning fully clothed right on top of the bed covers.
Thank you, Mack.
One time I met a woman at a bar, got her home, and made both of us a drink. I took two sips, and then passed out….I gave her the wrong glass!

Well, I laughed (and stole it)
OK, I’ll repost this then.
“Gamergate Controversy Explained Easy Cartoon”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STl7-_f4_eA
Thank you—will watch later. I have wondered what the fuss was about but not enough to read a bunch of trash editorials to find out.
You won’t learn from that video.
Yes, she will, and it’s only about 8 minutes long.
I disagree. That video is too forgiving of the “journalists” and their side. Many of the ‘death threats’ were faked, and there was absolutely malice and ulterior motive on that side not merely failure to realize that the Gamergaters were a minority. They were a minority, they also were not wrong that SJW slime were deliberately trying to skinsuit their passtime.
Sure, and there is plenty more that could be added, but then it wouldn’t be short and to the point.
Trump and whoever the Dems nominate are going to spend the next 15 months trying to out-stupid each other and give the election to the other side.
The LP will take this huge chance, nominate an idiot, and end up with about 1.5% of the vote.
I’m gonna cry.
I’m sharing this Stossel video with anyone who sits still for it.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G5odA8Gsmzs&t=327s
Most excellent vid.
That’s a good one.
What slips by most people is pointed out in the video. It is common to every president.
“Trump did send congress budgets that included cuts but congress sent back increases and Trump signed them.”
Stop hanging spending on the president. The president doesn’t write budgets. Congress does. They try like hell to avoid any responsibility but ultimately it is theirs.

“Insulin costs $450 a month. An AR-15 costs $395 for a lifetime. It shouldn’t be more affordable to kill than to stay alive.”
https://twitter.com/BetoORourke/status/1162793524913430528
So you are saying we should kill all the diabetics?
Stop being a sedentary fat slob? I mean it really works, just try it. Get an AR-15 instead, it feels better.
Are you just collecting proof that idiots abound on all parts of the political spectrum?
Proof of that is ample and widespread.
*ponders AR15-of-the-month club*
I’m sorry, how much does good quality ammo cost? Not a good comparison.
I hope he never goes away – laughter is the best medicine.
Ok, dipshit, how many people actually pay, out of pocket, $450 a month for insulin? I’m guessing few to none.
Not being diabetic, but plain old insulin is cheap. However, it doesn’t work on everyone and there are a bunch of biologics that do. They are quite pricey.
However, I wouldn’t expect this guy to actually research anything. He should say “some diabetics pay $450 a month for medication….”
Yeah, I was on a “biologic” for asthma (thank you for curing me, San Diego), And that stuff is pricey.
However, I am was covered by a pharmaceutical-company paid benefit so I never paid a dime, even though my income is upper middle.
I guess they do that to get the new drug out there and ensconced in people’s lives so that they have to pay it when the subsidy goes away.
My father buys insulin out of pocket and it is nowhere close to that. Also, most people don’t realize that insulin is an over the counter product.
So once I buy the AR-15 for $395, I get free ammo for the rest of my life?
OOoo.. I’d like that deal.
You can kill with an overdose of insulin, which costs less than an AR-15.
You can also save a life with an AR, but commies will never drop the “You are spending your money wrong, things will be better if we just let the glorious leader spend it for you.” I mean how else are you gonna get gulags? Selfish bastards won’t pay for genocide voluntarily.
Reversal of Fortune flashback:
Jeremy Irons as Klaus Von Bulow says to Dershowitz: “You have no idea..”
Effing won him the Oscar with one line.
And then they added it to “Scar”’s dialog in the Lion King.
This is retarded on so many levels. Because the price of goods fits what we think is moral. And why pick insulin. Why not pick lifesaving Heart Surgery, or Chemotherapy?
Where is this AR-15 being sold at the moment?
Unfortunately, primary red does NOT make me more attractive – it doesn’t work with either my complexion or my formerly-natural-but-now-unnatural red hair. They don’t actually say whether black makes you seem more attractive, so I’d stick with my preferred blues & purples in the unlikely case of it ever becoming an issue for me again.
I wear black a much higher than random number of times per week.
I’m not on the dating scene but when I want to look good for a party or special dinner, I often end up in black or in something on the blue-green spectrum. Brings out the green eyes and the red hair.
I wear a lot of black and red. Both go with most of my other clothes and I like red. Black goes with everything except navy. I have one navy skirt. Why? Why did I buy a navy skirt?
I have a green and blue wrap dress that I don’t think is flattering, but I always get complimented. So that’s what I wear on dates.
Yeah, having the complexion of an Irishman who HAS been living under a rock most of his life, red makes me look like ass. Earth tones for the win.

If it’s worth it to you, it’s not overpaying, and if you can get it, it’s not overcharging. Marginal utility, bitchezz! (Not calling you one – you know what I mean, right?)
Yes, it’s all a question of what the market will bear! EBay is an excellent example.

Also, posted late in the last thread. Bring back the mercury dime.
AMEN, Brother!
I thought the same as I posted my FDR rant. I have a few Mercury dimes and they are lovely! Nothing political about them.
On the other hand, all that old fashioned coinage with Greek symbolism is awfully Western and we can’t admit that the US is a Western civilization
It wasn’t all Greek statues and lady liberty – we also had Indian-head pennies and nickels. I believe the 1909 Lincoln-head was the first with a real person, and it’s been all down-hill since then.
I still like the wheat on the reverse of pennies.
Indian heads definitely aren’t going to fly. Also like those.
I like the nature scenes on Canadian coins. Yeah, I said it.
I thought the dime was silver before the current composition.
It was.
Was it ever made of quicksilver?
Amalgam. You know, like fillings.
I had to scroll up and find the capitalization error Ted is commenting on. I guessed that was what was happening.
My gf found a bunch of silver coins while cleaning out DeadAunt’s house. The oldest was an 1888 Morgan dollar. There was more than a few Mercury dimes.
Seconded.

Hmmm…. Why not? Not enough screaming chicks, as far as I’m concerned.

To be fair, I’m not convinced she was a chick. You don’t want her at a rally.

Thanks for the Philly and WIldwood link. Having gone to school in Philly and growing up at the southern NJ seashore I can absolutely relate.

Super busy with work, but still (marginally) alive on Twitter.
Also writing up a storm, from the looks of her blog.
Yep.
Nice to hear, SP, she’s being missed, if you want her to know.
I second this. If messages are being passed.
I’m shocked shocked that porn sites are doing tracking. I expect they’re also trying to load malware or running exploit scans against users as well.

More than 9 in 10 pornography websites send user data to at least one third party, a new study has found.
Google tracks users on nearly 75% of the porn sites studied by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania.
Shit.
In another study, people tended to check out a romantic prospect’s head and chest—while they focused on the legs and feet of someone in the friend zone.
Dammit. I thought she was checking out my crotch.
Not much to see there, is there?

On the last thread someone linked to Snopes saying they did research showing people think satire is real. If that is their lame attempt at defending debunking satire they think we’re dumber than i thought they did. All it takes to debunk satire is to say: This is Satire. The fact that they think they need to explain anything is retarded.
Snopes has debunked something like 40 articles from the babylonbee.
If you go to the BB homepage, their tagline is literally, “fake news you can trust.”
Maybe the research only involved Snopes readers. I could believe that.
The problem isn’t the satire fooling people into thinking it is real, it is the other way around. I don’t see that mentioned.
This is not satire. That really is the problem.
They really should just delete the site and slink away before they embarrass themselves any further. But no, they’ll dial it up to 11.
It makes me think that Snopes is run by progressive autists.
It is, or at least used to be back when I hung out on their boards. They had some people I really felt sorry for. There was one woman so deep into feminism as faith that she would have tearful apologies because she was hetero and sexually submissive. She struggled to keep the faith, but occasionally her libido drove her into the arms of an evil man. There was a woman deep into PETA, to the point that she called pet owners slavers, and advocated for post natal abortion of ‘defectives’. I got driven off the board for using the word hysterical in an argument about whether a man who asked a woman’s father for permission to marry should immediately be dumped for doing so.
I’m going to start calling pet owners slavers just to fuck with them.
Say it ain’t so!!
I think they saw their influence and popularity soar and then went mad with power.
Or started collecting paychecks from the DNC
The founders left and the site was taken over by progressives.
“Dammit. I thought she was checking out my crutch”.
Of yeah, she was…
“No, no, I’m all right, I don’t need any help”

Holy shit glibs, what an afternoon. We have a big rotary shear here at work. 500hp motor driving 3 blades through a 2 stage gear box. The gearbox has a lubrication system that consists of two tanks, and two sets of pumps. The primary tank has pumps that pump gear lube into the top of the gearbox and sprays all the gears. The secondary tank catches the lube as it runs out of the bottom of the gearbox and then pumps it back up into the primary tank to be recirculated through the system. To manage heat, the primary tank has a separate pump that circulates the oil in its reservoir through a liquid cooled heat exchanger.
If, you are still following, here is where it gets fun.
One of the heat exchangers sprung an internal leak. This allowed the cooling water to get into the oil side of the heat exchanger. This introduced water to the system. That’s bad on its own, but it also began adding volume to the system.
Ince the secondary tank, primary tank, and gearbox were all full of liquid, the water/oil mixture had to find the weakest point in the system to escape. That weakest point was a decissant breather on the top of the main tank. When it was blown off by the pressure of the water/oil mixture, a spray of said mixture shot 60 feet in the air and continued to do so for several minutes before we could safely shut down the system.
Another problem, directly where the water was spraying, is the hot rails that provide electricity for the overhead cranes. 4 2000amp 480 volt exposed conductor got a bath and promptly exploded. Good times.
Anywho, it all back together now, but I’m ready to go home and drink some beer or something.
Wow. No one hurt?
That sounds like an expensive and nasty break. It also sounds like it could ave been a lot worse.
Any idea what the profit margin is on that place? It is expensive to staff and y’all suck up a huge amount of electricity. I bet insurance is nothing to sneeze at either.
I really don’t what their margin is, but it has to be pretty good. I know during hard times, my mill and our 2 sisters in Michigan prop up the rest of the company. I also know that during really hard times, we run at full capacity by takes orders away from the Michigan plants because we do it cheaper.
As far as the expense of the above incident. Had to replace a several hundred dollar heat exchanger, a few thousand dollars worth of hot rail and replace 150 gallons 80/90 gear lube. Probably a thousand or so there. We were able to work around the non-functuoning shear, so o ly about 10 minutes of lost production.
To these guys, that’s not a big expense. The big expense is down time. We sell our finished product for around 7-8hundred a ton and some for quite a bit more than that, depending on the grade and finished qualities. We make 90tons an hour. Not running is way more expensive than the coat of pieces and parts.
Ok. Sounds like you are in the black. I assumed the rotary shear was for dicing pigs that are still too hot to use a saw on…so how in hell would you cut that otherwise?
Now I am wondering if a saw would be more expensive or the shear? I think you sent a photo once of your product but I don’t remember anything for scale in there. I got the notion they are rods around 12 to 24 inches diameter. I could be just making that up in my memory.
“The problem with getting old is not forgetting what happened. The problem is remembering what didn’t happen.” – Mark Twain
We use a rotary shear because the bar that is being sheared is moving. The shear cuts the bar as it exits the rough rolling mill stands and before it enters the precision rolling mill stands. It will be moving at 100 to 250 feet per minute, depending on what size we are making.
We tune the rpm shear motor to run at the correct speed depending on the FPM of the bar so that the cutting heads are traveling at exactly the same speed as the bar being rolled. It also has to ramp up, come to full speed, and then go to full stop in 2 seconds or less.
Pretty neat, really.
When I worked for Acerinox, due to the infighting between all the different mills and the managers trying to maintain their fiefdoms, I was amazed that scrap went in 1 end, product cam out the other, and they managed to make money.
On the other hand, the few times it happened, seeing a mill at capacity continuously melt, pour, roll, and finish 600 tonnes/hr was something to behold.
Did the desiccant breather achieve orbit? Did you actually find it?
I didnt even look. It may have been incinerated in the arc blast on the hot rails for all I known.
Not quite relevant, but Shake Hands With Danger
Three finger Joe. Gotta warm em up right?
Whoa. I am 28 seconds in and saying “No no no. Fuck that. Cut the engine. Lower every articulated implement. And fire that dumbass that crawled up on the implement with the engine running. The driver is going to sneeze and bump a lever by accident.
The ones that I see most often that make my skin crawl are people with small to medium farm tractors who get off of the thing with the engine going, adjust an implement then walk back and stand inches in front of the rear tire and reach up into the drivers space to test their adjustment.
Safety advice I was given once “Professionals get hurt the most because they have lost their fear because they think they know what they are doing.”
There is a definite accident curve at almost anything. Newbies are scared and follow the directions, very experienced people have seen enough bad stuff to be cautious, it’s the middle where you are experienced enough to take things for granted but not the old timer who has seen arms caught in the machinery and learned respect (read fear).
When I worked for Ford in Cleveland at their foundry, they’d get a fatality around every 7 years. They said thats how long it took someone to get complacent around a furnace.
This is a very well-documented statistical fact in naval aviation.
“There are old pilots; there are bold pilots. But there are *no* old, bold pilots.”
Guys who have about 1000 – 1500 hours in type are the ones who are the most likely to crash.
Just good enough to be arrogant and still not feared of dying.
First rule of safety, if it looks sketchy, talk someone else into doing it.
Damn.
Industrial accidents can go very far south, very quickly.
Man, staff safe, Lach.
So you’re back in operation already?
10 minutes of lost production, because we work better than IT could ever dream.
Was there another shear to shift to? Because putting that one back together sounds like it would take more than 10 minutes, but switching to a backup sounds feasible.
Open up the throat on the first finishing stand rolls past the shear to accommodate a rougher non cut bar being put in it.
Tighten up the rolls further down the line to compensate. Use three paths on the runout instead of two to give the final saw operator down the line before the cooling bed time to cut up longer bars. Throw the third spare saw online.
The pace was designed with failures in mind and there are ways to work around a lot of different situations that may arise.
I see.
(and freely admit I know nothing about the layout/processes on site)
Pretty damn similar to what we do.

If you think I will not give you that same compliment when I am not drunk and horny, you are so wrong. You’re beautiful girl. That is it.
Speaking of “drunk”, Thank Zod for low-carb beer.
Yeah, I can’t quite believe I wrote it, either. But, “when in Rome”…
Well, I came to my senses – i.e. I sobered up. I’m not going to see bad idea guy.
It’s probably good, if you have to be drunk to meet someone, you’ll have liver trouble before too long.
I wouldn’t need to be drunk to meet him, just to think it’s a good idea
I still want to, it is just stupid to repeat past mistakes
Well, when it comes to my relationship advice, remember this – I live alone.
I have a colleague/friend at work who is much younger than me. We are always in and out of each others offices, we go wine shopping at lunch. Lately, she’s talking about how her husband wants a new, bigger house and to start a family. I’ve told her, I’m happy to listen, but I have no advice.
Pretty sure she’s feeling you out to see if you’d be comfortable joining them.
Eww, no

I missed why he was “Bad Idea” guy, but i’m sure you made the right decision.

I thought it was his friends?
Would have to agree. If you want a relationship you have to trust the other person.
If you want a fling not so much, but it reads like it took you a while to convince yourself.
Yeah, from what you were describing last night, it sounded as if it would be – at best – a waste of your time if you’re looking for long-term. Might have been some fun and maybe flattering, but probably fleeting. You might have hated yourself in the morning.
He’s smart and we have a very similar sense of humor. But, he’s also irresponsible and chaotic. Been there, done that, don’t need it in my life now.
I’m a sucker for smart and funny. I’ve married two guys who were broke when we started our relationships. One didn’t work out, one has for 23+ years. Irresponsible, though, is a whole ‘nother kettle of fish.
Woohoo! Staying employed is good!
This isn’t going to generate any good stories for us. I demand you start drinking so you can go back to making poor decisions.
And then write articles.
“women were most attracted to men whose level of interest in them was ambiguous”

Not me. My friends joke that a guy has to hit me with a clue by four before I get it. I actually dated my hairdresser for a while. Straight guys in the salon business are huge flirts. You’re always beautiful when you leave. But, I once complained to friends about how cheesy he was. I’d call and Ask if he had time for me and he always said ‘i always have time for you’. They stared at me and said, he never says that to us. I still didn’t get it. It wasn’t until I was talking about moving and he offered to help, that I realized he was hitting on me. I said, I’ve got movers, but we should have a drink sometime. He called me the next day and we dated for three years. It could be disconcerting to have him squint at me over morning coffee and say ‘you need a brow wax, stop by at lunch and I’ll take care of it. ‘coz
Yeah, the ‘hairdresser/stylist” thing is…odd. Fun, but, odd.
Wait, there are straight guys working in salons? I call bs.
There are. They tend to very busy/popular because, again huge, HUGE flirts. I think most are in it for the women.
That salon always offered wine, and on Saturday mornings, mimosas
I just recalled Abe Vigoda as the tribal chief in Joe v Volcano where he asks Meg Ryan, “You wanna marry him?” “Yes” then turns to Tom Hanks “you wanna marry her?” “Yes”
“Good, you’re married”
Straight and to the point.

I don’t know. First I heard of it. I’ll be looking for sure. Cool stuff.
Yes it’s already streaming. I started last night.
I just couldn’t get into that show
I liked the history of it. The origin of profiling and VICAP. I agree it could be better but it’s an interesting tale.
I enjoy the show, and I try not to think about what an enormous waste of taxpayer money it all is.

Anyone have experience with this one?
I’ve not owned any Century Arms. I have a Sig 716 I bought from a friend. It’s sweet.
Given how Century butchers surplus rifles with their import marks and some of the problems I read about with Century’s FALs, I’d stay away from anything from Century.
I’d go for a longer barrel.
Does an older compressor in an AC unit draw more power during its startup surge when it kicks in than it did when new?
My mind is reeling fro the possibilities of where this question will lead, given the circumstances.
Of course I can’t help you with that. But, here’s hoping someone can answer it.
Starter capacitors are used in single phase induction motors because a capacitor will delay voltage by 90 degrees so that it’s like you have 2 opposing phases briefly for that critical starting moment.
It’s pretty common for them to crap out after years, and they’re very easy and cheep to replace if you DIY
The starter cap, that is. Replace it.
I’m not sure where I’d find it.
Chilton’s manual is your friend.
I read that as, “Clinton’s manual is your friend.”
I almost couldn’t even.
I’m a dumb fuck. I thought he was talking about a vehicle, not an AC.
Wait—this is in real life??
Shit, I thought you had something cooking for a book.
Yes, real life. I’m trying to diagnose issues around the house.
Is this the real life, is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide no escape from HVAC
Open your eyes look it up on the web and see
It’s just a start cap, with specificity
Because it’s easy come, easy go
Leakage high, voltage low
Anyway the fan blows
So it doesn’t really matter to me
::reads Count’s prose::
……………How the hell did you do that?
He checked the thermostat obviously
Search the part number.
You can also get a hard start kit, which is another cap wired in parallel(?) with the first one.
Which goes with the question…. yes, they get harder to start. Hence the existence of a hard start kit.
I’m a year plus into my hard start kit. Hoping to sell the house before I have to replace the unit.
Google says yes.

Not much of a candy eater, but when I do my go to is Butterfinger. Had one today to find out they changed the recipe and it tastes like crap. Apparently the twittersphere has been raking them over coals ever since they changed the recipe.

I don’t really have a sweet tooth but I like Paydays. It’s the salt.
Snickers or STFU.
Fight me.
(alternatively, Whatchamacallit and Twix can be substitutions)
3 Musketeers.
Reese’s Cups.
Hershey’s Special Dark.
Reese’s *eggs*
Ho Lee Shit, YES!!
Peanut Butter M&Ms > Reese’s Cups> Milky Way Midnight > 3 Musketeers > Snickers
I do love the Snickers and Twix Ice Cream bars!
I like Snickers but if it was a bag of Snickers vs a Bag of chips with french onion chip dip. I’d take the chips and dip. Salt and fat yum.
You had me at “bag of chips”.
100 Grand or GTFO.
That’s my mother’s favorite, are you my mother?
Candy Corn and Peeps
I kid Twizzlers but only the black ones.
You relish being wrong about everything don’t you.
I don’t eat candy any more but damn I liked Whatchamacallit.
Snickers?
I see what you did there but instead I’ll point out I always hated Snickers, and any candy with nuts in it. Gross.
Bring back Summits, Dammit!!

Not aimed at you, Rhy.
Aaaand, obviously not for you, considering your last comment.
I lied. Sometimes (like, once or twice a year) I’ll pick up a Ritter Sport marzipan or Lindt’s with mint filling. They taste the same as they did decades ago and it’s totally worth it.
Ritter marzipam, it goes great with scotch.
My dude!
Zero
Reese’s Cups
Kitt Katt
Snickers or Salted Nut Roll. If you disagree you are either stupid or evil or libertarian. But I repeat myself.
Good and Plenty, Jujyfruits, jelly beans, dark chocolates.
Mental Floss had the “George Costanza Candy Identification Quiz” which made you identify unwrapped candy bars on plates. I kicked ass. Unfortunately it appears to be lost into the intertoobz graveyard.
, Milky Way Dark, Payday bars and frozen Reeses PB Cups. But Good N Plenty are my go to long airplane flight candy.
Duh. They’re all Twix.
NNNNOOOOOO!!!!!
We’ve got a fire pit next to the river at our cabin. S’mores has been a decades long tradition.
Well, we hadn’t had any in a few years and the wife wanted some when we were up there last year. Bought all the stuff, through a couple together, and neither one of us could eat it. Graham Crackers no longer taste like Graham Crackers and Jet Puff marshmallows no longer taste like Jet Puff marshmallows. Totally bummed.
That is a common refrain. Everything is being made cheaper now to make people think inflation isn’t a thing or something.
The Nabisco plain graham crackers aren’t too bad.
Why in fuck would they do that?
See my comment about making it with cheaper ingredients.
It’s more naturally and peanut buttery.
I tried one of the new ones once. And bitched about it here several times. And found a couple of the Nestle ones at a store that hadn’t sold them off yet.
Rip.
More natural, huh? Freshly plucked by expert gardeners from their ancient grove of butterfinger trees?
Instead of petrochemical sludge, they use rehydrated soy byproduct.
GMO is a beautiful thing!
Heh…
https://www.foodandwine.com/news/butterfinger-new-recipe-taste-test
I miss the paper wrappers that butterfinger, m&ms, and other had. And the foil wrappers on kitkats and Hershey bars.
Everything you just wrote is correct, Gustave.
Hmph. I haven’t had a Butterfinger in a decade or so so I can’t comment on that.
But I am very skeptical about the “better ingredients” claim – assuming same price. Because that would be like the opposite of every other American food maker.
I am too. Although it’s quite possible that they use less of the “quality” ingredients or less overall by minimizing the ingredients. Or Italians are different.
I don’t understand the desire to change an existing product. Just introduce a new one and leave the old one as is.
The options are not often so black and white, It may be that the old product just isn’t selling anymore but still has recognizable branding. So your options are start from scratch and shitcan a ‘known’ entity or try a restart, building off the name recognition of the old non-selling product. both have risks but I can understand a company trying to play off past success even if they may piss off die-hard loyalists.
Stop harshing my hating with facts and logic!
It’s more naturally and peanut buttery.
Well, that’s a relief. Especially since I eat Butterfingers for my health.
I had Butterfingers in my candy rotation, but have dropped it since they changed the recipe.
Baby Ruth, Milky Way caramel, Heath bar, Almond Joy, and Mounds are currently in my starting rotation, $100grand in relief.

Girding up for a party at next door neighbors.
They are nice, but last time we went, I ended up in Urgent Care when the host skewered my hand on a wicker chair by clumsily staggering into me.
Wish me luck. Lately, I could use it.
Good luck. Steer clear of the host!
Poor dude has advanced cancer and has eschewed conventional meds when it kept spreading and then got on pot.
So he is high pretty much all the time. I don’t mind the staggering though it did leave a scar.
Bring a sword.
She has waaaaay better toys than a sword:)
No kidding. Why would you bring a sword to a railgun fight?
Because Tau are terrible in Melee.
UCS gets it.
/still liked playing Fire Warrior
There are toys more powerful than a sword, toys more modern than a sword, toys with more range than a sword, but I don’t agree that they are better toys. There is just something magical about a well made sword.
Well, that sorta explains Highlander.

I was expecting some Zelda gameplay.
Ha! I almost posted the same thing.
I read somewhere that Indiana was originally supposed to have an elaborate fight scene there. Harrison Ford said that it made no sense for the character, Indy would just shoot the guy. And so it was done.
The producers threw the guy a bone after having spent so much time learning the choreography and gave him a few seconds of camera time running through it before getting shot.
I heard a similar one but the spin was Ford was Iill and suggested it.
He was decent at improv
And, to round it all out; the story I heard was that Ford was on the fence about whether the fight scene made sense or not. On the day of the shoot, he wasn’t feeling well and he ad libed the scene that made it into the movie.
He had the shits and a fever, so he shot him instead of fighting him.
“Nice, but dangerous”—great if you’re dating a spy. Sucky, if it’s a tipsy neighbor.
Have as much fun as possible!
Good luck!

Avoid the fish.
Avoiding Phish is always a good idea.
Given the quality of your music links, I would have thought you were a Phish aficionado.
Damn, Spud, that’s pretty harsh.
Ted’s tough. He can take it.
Still, “Phish aficionado” is pretty rough.
Actually, I prefer classical music.
Why do I not believe you.
Phish is pretty “classic”, Ted. That doesn’t have to be a positive.
Mozart is classical. Phish is no longer current. There is a difference.
Phew!! I made it hone’!

Finally home and drinking a beer. I’m playing risk on the xbox with wife and feeding baby a banana. Very nice.
Ukraine is weak!
Risk, a strategy game where starting with Europe, Asia, or North America makes winning just about impossible, but S. America and Africa are powerhouses.
Risk is fun. Only played board game though .
You forgot Fortress Australia.
Australia is just a way to lose last. It’s just too hard to expand out. You are in a fortress, but your expansion path is into the landmass of asia.
Which is only a problem if there’s too few other players on the board.
That’s where I am right now with a sizable army in the middle east threatening the two different warring factions in africa.
*flips over xbox*
LOL
Bueno. Did you share details about the day with the wife or do those sorts of stories freak her out?
Nah, she has enough worries without hearing about shit like that.
I thought that might be the case. Probably for the best.
Plus, it’s such a manly story, next thing you know, you’d be worrying about having another child on the way 😀
Oh, for the love of fucking shit, I am so drunk. Not that I don’t tell the truth when I’m drunk. I tell more of the truth. I need shut up, but I won’t.
Hey guys let’s ask Hyp personal and financial questions!
As long as he doesn’t start ranting about (((them)))
I’m not doing anything more risky than telling Hayek that she’s gorgeous. Now I have to already let wifey sit on my face and that’s really terrible punishment. I can’t take any more. Why do you guys hate me?
So…your punishment for complimenting a rather fetching female glib, who we all know is a deepfake due to there being no female libertarians, is to eat pussy?
You are livin’ THE life, Hyp.
Well, I mean if those pics are fake, she’s good at it, I totally want those tits in my face…. I mean.. well… and Brazilian pussy, it’s, a hard life, Yep. It’s a hard life, bro. At least the first few decades of it was, then it got better.
Gawd bless thread archiving.
I believe Hyp has mentioned he’s a tad neuro atypical and prone to what other people would consider over sharing, even when he’s not drunk
i.e., this is par for the course.
I think it’s hilarious.
TIL Hyp is getting a Brazilian tonight.
“I believe Hyp has mentioned he’s a tad neuro atypical and prone to what other people would consider over sharing, even when he’s not drunk”

Thank goodness. No damn clowns.
I miss the Clown Panic of ’16. Another good thing Trump had to go and ruin.
Jeepers, I forgot about that already. In Trumps America, clowns are free to terrorize the citizens because the right-wing controlled media won’t report on it!!!11!!!
I know, right?
ASSHOLE!
But…LOL.
I’ve got more clown pictures.
I don’t get the clown hate in our society. I don’t mind clowns and I don’t fins them creepy. I think that’s just made up in most peoples head. (Excluding clowns that a repurposefully creepy, but even then, it doesn’t do much for me).
Never had a problem with clowns, but fuck puppets! (not in the sexual way, but as in I hate them)
Ok, speaking as someone old enough to remember Gacy please don’t use clowns and fuck puppets in the same sentence.
Marionette, or, more muppet-ish? Or, both?

Two reasons:
1. Hiding your face behind a mask
2. The fake happiness. I loathe people who force happiness.
Bonus 3rd reason: Clowns are stupid.
You’re losin’ me, bruh! They aren’t so bad.

Oh, Chafed…not you, too?
He’s a classy guy. High IQ. Good people…the best, really.
Started playing Technomancer again. It was pretty bad when it was first released, but it seems a lot better now. Seems they fixed the camera and it’s now the typical 3rd party RPG and you just have to learn how to exploit the game play. Don’t get trapped into close quarters on this one, keep distance, learn all the skills, win.
Or maybe you just have to be very drunk.
No, it’s not that. It might be that they fixed it, or I have a lot better monitor and GPU, but I’m actually enjoying it. I think I will probably give Greedfall a try.
Speaking of signs; an oldy (and fakey) but a goody.
Where’s that confounded bridge?
Got the bill for the kid’s surgery (and night in ICU). $95k. $2k after insurance.
My mother tried to tell me that’s why she supported Medicare for all. I had to respond that with Medicare for all she wouldn’t have gotten nearly the level of treatment she got. We’d be ready for the surgery in 3-4 years if we were lucky.
Shit. I paid $2K out of pocket for an MRI…
How’s the kid doing?
Well, we’d blown past our deductible already thanks to the ER visit and multiple cardiologist visits for this beforehand.
Kid’s about fully recovered. Back at school, returning to full activity as of 4 weeks post-surgery (this coming Thursday).
Which is the only thing that matters.
I’m old, so I can’t remember – what grade?
5th
Good to hear your kid’s recovery has gone well.
Glad to hear she’s fully recovered JB. I know this has to have been really difficult on you all. Hopefully this will be a distant memory for her soon.
I’ll second that. Glad to hear she’s doing well.
Tres hombre, right here. Here’s hoping she’s all done with this.
Ahh the old “valuable thing is too expensive, let’s get the Government to provide it so it will be ‘free” argument. Yes, State Store bread was amazingly cheap in the USSR, and yet somehow there was a major black market in bread. How can this be?
Here’s what puzzles me: most Leftists deny being outright communists. They’ll claim to believe in a free market for some things, but they insist that other things are best left to the government. Healthcare is one of the most common things that they want nationalized. But if the government can provide something as complicated as healthcare with no injury to supply or quality, why wouldn’t you be a full-on communist? Why wouldn’t you want the government to also take over production of cars, houses, coffee mugs, pencils, smart phones, and TV shows? If the free market is just an immoral vehicle by which evil capitalists rip off consumers and workers, why leave anything to the free market at all?
They’re either logically inconsistent or dishonest (I guess they could easily be both).
God bless you bro, I hope you have good news about the kid soon. I paid the max out of pocket the last 2 years, which is about 4-5x the amount I would have paid before the ACA, but at least we don’t live in Europe and pay 60% of our income for shitty healthcare.
Healthcare is obviously valuable when you are ill, but I don’t think it is remotely worth the percentage of income Single Payer demands, even if there weren’t the loss of quality. You die faster without food, water, and shelter, and suffer more than without health care.
Not to mention Medicaid, Medicare and insurance simply shift and obscure the cost, causing increased inflation. But never mind reality, saying someone else should pay always makes people feel like they’re getting a deal. Glad the kid is OK.
Socialized medicine is a eugenics program. It’s not like they thought this shit up yesterday. It’s all about culling the herd.
In my weaker moments, I almost support medicare for all. The current fascist/crony/ quasisocialist system is so incredibly fucked up that I almost think a NHS would be better since we are not able to get even close to a free market system.
Then I shake my head and remember how much i hate the state.
I do not want people like those I work with running healthcare. Especially if I’m the patient.
60% of your income for shitty rationed healthcare. OK.
It’s beyond corrupted now. The liberals scalped the medical profession and wear the body as a skin suit. I’ve mentioned before how the MCAT now has an entire social fucking justice section equivalent in weight to physics or biology. Now, the WSJ just released an article that medical schools are moving towards implementing climate change into the curriculum.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/medical-schools-are-pushed-to-train-doctors-for-climate-change-11565170205
Pre-med itself is a joke. We should have tech schools that focus exclusively on medicine.
Medical Tech Schools should be a thing.
We are so fucking doomed as a species.
If I ever hear that noise coming from any doctor of mine, it’ll be time to play “Kick the doc in the cock”.
Yes, I presumed both gender AND sex.
Children’s Hospital and The Ronald McDonald house are things we should try to emulate for the poor, everyone else should just deal with the cost, we’d be a lot better off for it.
Arthur Childrens created one hell of a hospital.
https://youtu.be/nkPBuz5DU8A
“Got the bill for the kid’s surgery (and night in ICU). $95k. $2k after insurance.”
Trust me, insurance didn’t pay $93k. That’s the dirty secret of health care costs. Medicare reimbursement rates are the basis of all insurance reimbursement negotiations. Medicare cuts back, cost of care goes up.
A friend of mine needed a $600 CT scan before a knee replacement. He was denied twice by insurance. After showing the imaging clinic two denial letters, they settled for a $160 cash payment.
One night I was laying down. I heard momma ‘n poppa talkin’. I heard poppa tell momma, “let that boy boogie-woogie. It’s in’m, an it got to come out.”
Gotta love some down home blues!
Are you guys still awake? I am so drunk, lol. Wifey went to bed. I’m still drinking…
I’m awake, sober, and annoyed that I’ve gotten one paragraph written all day.
A paragraph what? What are you writing?
“On Unknown Shores”, the sequel to “Beyond the Edge of the Map”
Are you publishing that? Or do you want to share here first? I’m sure I’m not the only one here who would like to read it?
I’m awake and drunk and need to be up in five hours. I’m trying, honest I am.
Three hours and just a little buzz. I need to try harder.
Oh for fuck sake, up in 5 hours? In 5 hours, a nuclear explosion would not wake me up
Up too early after only 5 hours of sleep. Flying 12 time zones is a major mind fuck on body internal clock. (But it does make it easy to tell what time it is at home.)

10 porn sites out there? When did this happen? I may be in a rut.
What pr0n sites? Wife and I watch it all of the time. Amateur stuff is the best. Does anyone still watch so called ‘professional’ pr0n? Stop, it sucks. And not in a good way.
Hey, don’t kink-shame! Some people just prefer the more polished aspects of professional sluttery.
Apparently there’s not much of a market in non-tatted up porn stars.
My research leads me to a different conclusion. In that, I have ‘heard’ that there are plenty of tats on women that I’m not sure qualify as ‘tatted up’.
Ok, ink free then.
Yeah, that’s pretty much true. So I have been told.
I don’t get it.
Tattoos are ugly, and there should be less demand for anything with inked performers.
Apparently porn disagrees with us.
“Tattoos are ugly,”
Very ugly. WIfe and I have been over this, What is worse is clit piercing., Ewww, fucking disgusting. You have a pretty pussy? Don’t fucking ruin it.

Funny thing is, wife had never played risk before in her life before a month ago when I insisted she play with me. She was bitter as duck the first few times before she understood the game. Now we are probably 50/50 the past week playing a round after I get home every night.
I can’t even imagine wife and I playing a game. I play first/3rd person RPGs, and she plays that farm thing on her tablet. WTF? I’ve asked her several times to play Elder Scrolls Online with me and she won’t do it. Sex it is, that works, only that.

“Old growth and the occasion(al) critter”
I do hope you are referring to the outdoors.
Yeah, it’s old growth forest. I want to move even further out of the city. I used to live right at the edge of the Patapsco forest, I think it’s the oldest national forest in the US. The forest is so dense down there if you walk through it in the middle of the day in the summer, it’s like a constant twilight. 400-500 year old trees. You really have to see it to believe it.
Also: “not even wet”. https://youtu.be/_asNhzXq72w

/no idea what you two are talking about
What can I say; I support my faves. I even wrote 2 articles about it.
I probably read them.
This must be better than whatever it is you’re talking about. (NSFW)
You are just harsh tonight, bro!
I don’t know what that is, but I suspect you 2 are some sort of perverts.
Really? With Q posting Q links right below us?
Q is all about wholesome goodness and family friendly fun. Perv!
Well, they did call me Perv Griffin in high school…
You’re dead, you’re dead, you’re dead, and out of this world.
Did you know there was life before 1990? Crazy, I know. Fucking lunatics back then.
I kinda like this
It came up after the song. It’s good. I like it.
I was doing my erotic dance for my friends, and they were enjoying it!
Deacon was the fucking best.

Thicc. I love it.
Yuuuup!
Way better than all of them.
I like your style.
Your jib sir, is cut in a way I like.
Best of the group.
Alright, I no longer need be polite now that I’m home from the neighborhood party.
So what’s on our minds, Glibs??
I heard Straff has a crush on you.
Oh, now you’re just rabble-rousin’…
Sure. Why not?
Hyperion
Ok. I need some sleep. I completely muffed that one.
LOL @ all of this
Well, that answers my question…
Lucky your husband’s last name is Splosives. What’s your maiden name? Hayek Smith?
Don’t fall for it, Hayeks—that’s most definitely a trap
I warned all of you before that this little diva is going to take us all down. Best let me take care of it. I’ll protect ya’ll. you know, cause I love you, bros.
Wait—if it’s just a little peril, I can handle it. I promise.
I… have no idea what to say.
I am flattered abs embarrassed at the same time.
Maybe slightly alarmed
“So what’s on our minds, Glibs??”
Do you really have to ask that?
Pure energy?
Apparently, naked chicks – if the last few posts are any indication.
/bored now
Just embiggen my avatar—maybe it’s more exciting than this mishegoss.
Way ahead of you
LOL! Excellent…..
That IT background is paying off.
Don’t be sad, bruh.
NSFW
/oh BTW
Look at you doing Rhywun a solid.
“Solid”
I knew what I wrote.
Also, how’s it going, Chafed?
Good. Gotta go to bed. I’m flying child one to DC tomorrow to move her into school. How are you my 48 year old night owl?
Pretty excellent, all things considered. Got my Superunknown, Youthanasia, and Hysteria tees today, so I will be rocking it old skool.
Safe traveling for you and yours!
And, no more picking up illness at the airport. That’s for duty-free and flight attendants.
Let us know when you get your Sabbath Bloody Sabbath tee. Then MikeS and I can give you ?
Now those are some tees I could get
behindintoHmmm…I could go for a Neon Knights tee, if I can find one.
Also, no love for the Youthanasia tee? That should rate some horns
????
??
You are right SD. That’s my oversight. Rock on! ???
I thought you were gonna hit the sack. Go get yer sleep!
I’ll have a bit of what you’re having.
Hippies.
He’s a good dude. I figured I’d throw him a bone(r)
It’ll mean more when we have teledildonics.
You mean, we don’t???
We’ll truly just be savages until we have that and flying cars.
Until we have that IN flying cars…
When I see people walking their dogs, they stop to pick up the shit and put it in plastic bags. So what do they do with it when they get home? Do they separate it to recycle the plastic bag and put the turd in the garden, or do they most likely throw both items in the trash? This seems to be the worst of all worlds when the Earth is dying.
After thinking about this topic for 14 hours at work today, I’ve come the the conclusion that the Federal government needs to offer several competing grants to study this topic and come up with a more sustainable alternative to recycle these precious resources.
I’m thinking about ankle biter football. I mean, really, am I the only one who has ever thought about this? Kicking those little yapping shits between some uprights? Is there something wrong with that? Is that wrong? Oh, and all you pretty girls with bubble butts and great tits, I , I mean just ignore that, I didn’t really mean it.
Every time I go to the dog park I think the same thing.
I think it, too. But not at the dog park. Unless those sort of pretty girls are there.
Pomeranians should be worth more points, especially the ones that never stop barking.
I learned from Bullsh!t that you could set up 4 different boxes for the varying levels of recyclability within a dog turd and people would comply by carefully separating them out.
That…um…
So who is better trained? The dogs or the sheeple?
If there was a law or ordinance for shit separation, the “environmentally conscious” would gladly do it and brag to their friends about being socially responsible.
Why are pretzel broechen so GD addicting? Monday is going to be a hell of a day at work with this 12 hour time shift. Then just about when my body is on German time I fly back to Hawaii for an interisland race (Maui to Oahu). Luckily for the rest of the crew I can helm a bunch of the night while we sail to Lanai since my body will say it is noon.
What is up with you?
One of the more humane aspects of NYC is I can buy a convincing Brezel on many street corners.
If it means you get to eat at the Lanai Hotel, it’s all worth it.
Antifa and Proud boys may have let us down but UFC 241 sure didn’t. Great fight between DC and Miocic. No spoilers. Damn though, unbelievable.
antifa I’d heard of, but wtf is proud boys .. pretty lame name, boys.
you need a cleverer one, that means the opposite of what you really are, like antifa.
Bill Kristol is the stupidest man alive.

Someone let me know if Hyp goes downtown on wife. I’m going to sleep.
There seems to be no barrier for “over-sharing” that Glibs won’t break. I love this site.
Will do, Boss!
::starts watching Hyp for downtown action::
“He’s not a naked intruder, just a devotee!”
It’s the preferred nomenclature.
See, this is why I giggle at work sometimes for no apparent reason. I’ll be chugging along on-task and then my brain flashes back to something I read or saw on here. You guys slay me.
I can’t tell if it’s a pack of coyotes behind the house or a pack of drunk teenagers messing around on the golf course. Maybe drunk teenage coyotes?
One and the same, SP. One and the same…
That explains it.
Oof. I hate that taunting hyena like cry the coyotes make after narfing somebody’s Cat or dog.
Hate
Narfing
It’s the same sound that drunken teenaged lugins make after they bust a beer bottle over their own head or jump the bonfire. It is an ugly sound.
“Lugins”? That’s a new one for me, Festus.
“What tha Fuck you Lugin’ at?!”
Ahh…the “soft K”. Got it.
/nice try, but no way you were gonna get me to write ‘hard G’…dammit!
OK, we’ll go with drunk teenagers, then. It happens pretty regularly for a predominantly LDS neighborhood.
The Preacher’s daughter is the dirty girl, this is known.
Oh, yeah, all the PKs I grew up with were the wildings.
According to Mojeaux’s latest book, this is correct.

For a couple of years I was a Park Ranger. We had a couple of programs for school kids. One of the things I would do while taking them along a desert trail was to pick up dried scat (coyote, owl, bobcat or mountain lion) and break it apart and let the kids try and identify what was the source of the food. (Don’t let anybody fool you, dried scat is a GREAT teaching tool for kids since they are fascinated.) The bones, seeds etc got the most “must be cool” school boys involved as well. Every so often I’d break it apart and there would be the claws and bones of a housecat. That always got a huge reaction.
Nature’s lesson? Don’t get too attached to outdoors cats (or small dogs) if you live in a desert.
Need to do a quick update, kids. Hopefully, back soon!
And we’re back. Sorry for the brief interruption. We now return you to your regularly scheduled snark.
It’s not snark if you really, really believe in it! We’ve got some kind of up-side down Peter Pan universe happening here except with thicc fairies and Peter isn’t a pedophile this go ’round.
Wait. Peter Pan was a pedophile?
Who else sneaks through the bedroom window at night and spirits your children away with promises of bliss?
Michael Jackson?
Kurt Cobain?
Shit, it’s too early for me. Wrong band.
I meant James Hetfield?
I don’t think Hetfield was promising bliss. Quite the opposite actually.
Benny Mardones?
