    The shaking episodes – all while standing at ceremonies – have unnerved many Germans, who look to Angela Merkel as a rock in an unstable world

    Huh. I didn’t think Germans were that stupid.

      “I look after my health,” she said on Thursday

      The proof is in the pudding ass.

      1. BakedPenguin

        Yeah, it looks like Europe is having it’s own issues with obesity.

        Tresiba reps – I think there’s a new market for you to look at.

    2. Well they do drive BMWs – argh, a car that I loved to drive but hated to get repaired.

        Where rod bearings are a “wear item”?

        https://e39source.com/archives/2538

        1. DenverJ

          They can wear faster if you use the wrong oil, beat on the engine while the oil is cold, lug the engine at low RPMs, or drive the hell out of the car on a daily basis, over a long period of time.

          Soooo… if you don’t drive it, any bigblock will last forever?

          1. DenverJ

            Huh. Forgot the little “/” thingy.

    3. Gustave Lytton

      I still say the Merkelbot just needs a firmware fix.

  2. straffinrun

    One fellow gangmember who knew him well told MailOnline: ‘He smoked weed constantly and was a complete psycho. I feel so sorry for the man he killed and his son’.

    Thoughts and prayers from the fellow gangmember.

    1. DenverJ

      Right? What a POS.

    1. Tulip

      Why are you still here? Go play golf!

    I don’t know if this had been mentioned before but which one of you was this.

    Oklahoma man driving stolen vehicle caught with rattlesnake, uranium, whiskey and firearm

    1. Spudalicious

      Hey! Did you guys read about the guy who shot himself in the nuts and then dope fell out of his ass?

      1. Sean

        Gah!

      2. Dr. Fronkensteen

        Answers the question if this had been mentioned before. Sorry I missed it. Work thing and all.

        1. Spudalicious

          I just appreciate you giving me the opening.

          Someone needs to make sure the drunk uranium story makes it into the morning comments. I’ll still be asleep.

          1. Sensei

            So like a depleted uranium story?

          2. DenverJ

            Can I get a narrowed gaze over here?

          3. *narrows gaze at DenverJ*

          4. DenverJ

            Um… thanks?

      3. MikeS

        Has this really been linked that many times? It’s the first I’ve seen it.

    2. Sean

      At least he didn’t shoot himself in the nuts.

      1. That guy’s nuts! Grab’em!

    3. Scruffy Nerfherder

      I keep all my uranium in my ass. You’d have to shoot me in the nuts to get to it.

    4. The one who forgot what a question mark is used for?

    5. Jennings, of Logan County, told officers that he had the uranium because he recently purchased a Geiger counter to test metals, and the chemical element came with the purchase. He joked with officers that he was trying to create a “super snake,” Gibbs added.

      Damn, he actually thought that through.

      1. DenverJ

        Jinx! You owe me a beer!

    6. DenverJ

      Jennings, of Logan County, told officers that he had the uranium because he recently purchased a Geiger counter to test metals, and the chemical element came with the purchase. He joked with officers that he was trying to create a “super snake,” Gibbs added.
      It did not appear that Jennings or Rivera were under the influence of the alcohol.

      I like these people.

    7. leon

      Did ya’ll hear about the Guy in Washington who’s family told him Trump had been Impeached so he could die happily?

  4. BakedPenguin

    Despite his violent tendencies and mental health problems he was deemed to have been ‘no concerns of risk to himself or others’ during his final appointment on … the day before the train murder.

    Good job there, doc. I guess this psycho asshole will get another four year sentence. I mean, it’s not like he was talking about Muslim rape gangs or teaching his small dog to do a Nazi salute.

    I thought for sure this was going to point to the The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife.

    1. DenverJ

      Really? I just thought it was cool. Maybe it’s been too long since I read Lovecraft. Spiders, though… omg spiders will seriously freak me out. And hieghts. And deep water (so I guess I wouldn’t even be on the boat).

    2. DenverJ

      That link is pretty cra cra

      1. Sensei

        That was essentially the porn of its day in Japan.

        Now it’s viewed as art.

        1. Such is the value of time. Houses built in our neighborhood when I was a kid were just “houses”. Now they’re called “Mid-Century” and worth a lot more as a result.

  6. Well, finally got off my ass and bought my first gun today. Way overdue I know. Tried out a P220 and a new S&W Shield .45 at Colonial Shooting Academy Richmond. Loved the 220. Picked up a consignment 220 (made in Germany) that came with 2 mags, a complete shooting bag(!) and a few other extras for $600 – very nice. Shot a few rounds through it before heading home.

    It handles great, but it’s probably a little large for concealed carry – I do plan on trying some courses with CSA – but I will probably wind up buying something like one of the Springfield XD45s (small size version) for something like that.

    Now I need to look up a manual online for it for cleaning purposes – don’t have nearly as much familiarity/comfort with disassembling/cleaning pistols as I do with the old M4/M16s, etc.

    1. Sensei

      I can’t tell you how many times I confirm my Glock is empty before I close the slide and pull the trigger to be able disassemble it.

      I positively hate that aspect of the pistol. Hopefully the SIG doesn’t require that. No other firearm I own requires it be a “fired” state before disassembly.

      1. Grummun

        Hopefully the SIG doesn’t require that.

        Nope. Lock the slide back, rotate the takedown pin 90 deg., grasp the slide firmly and thumb the slide release, the whole top end slides off.

    2. Sean

      Nice choice. The P220 is a fantastic pistol. Especially the German made. I have a KF stamped version purchased NIB. Use grease on the rails.

    3. Tejicano

      Congratulations on the beginning of your journey, LT. P-220 (45ACP?) and XD45 are excellent choices. That’s a screaming deal on the SiG.

    4. Grummun

      My first handgun was a Ruger semi-auto in .45, don’t recall the model number. Kind of a blocky stainless piece with grey plastic grips. The day I bought a P220, I discovered I was a better shot than I had previously thought. $600 would have been a deal for just the Sig, I think.

      1. CPRM

        Ruger semi-auto

        did it go FULL semi-auto?

        1. Only if you get the automatic rounds with magazine clips and that shoulder thing that goes up

        2. Grummun

          did it go FULL semi-auto?

          No, but I once managed to damage a 1911 during disassembly such that it would occasionally cook off two or three in a row. Many lessons were learned as a result. Not least of which was “a competent riflesmith does not necessarily know anything about handguns.” Or shotguns, that’s a different lesson.

      2. Sensei

        P90DC?

        Durable thing, but awful trigger. Much prefer the Glock. I also shoot better with it.

    5. Aus

      Congrats!

      P229 was my first handgun!

      Obviously I would recommend youtube for cleaning instructions, but I generally prefer video over reading for this type of learning.

        Someone who grew up where The Hamptons is a regular reference, I guess? I wouldn’t know about that except for Seinfeld, but I’ve also never owned a hamster, but I did have a hamper, so who tf knows. What a shit show, if true.

        I’m going into a job where a great deal of my time involves making corrections to documents based on the judgments of people objectively smarter than I am, given that they’re engineers and I’m just a modeler. My little bit of creativity is in formatting the documents in a way that looks readable and satisfying. The idea of crying over corrections to my work is wholly alien.

      2. Sensei

        Right? Although in a large company they normally they document the heck out of these things and slow roll it.

      3. Tundra

        Yes. And then I would find out where her mother was employed and have that twit fired too.

        That IS excellent.

  7. New workers of the world

    What an astonishing, disquieting time to be a working person. In much of the world, young people from poor families are easily outearning their parents. Yet the pressures of globalization and automation have also left many manual and service workers struggling to secure safe, supportive conditions and to feel that their toil has lasting value. “This period is like the Industrial Revolution, it’s like Dickens’s London, for the amount of convulsion and change, and we only recently have begun to think about it that way,” says Mark Muro, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

    All the stories are distinct, but they also reflect common experiences of the great convulsion Muro describes. Decent jobs are flowing to big cities, with millions of workers leaving their ancestral towns in anxious pursuit, often slipping past national borders to do so. The internet is exposing people not only to opportunities that were once out of reach, but also to the unsettling knowledge that other people have many more. And the stories confirm that to be working class is, by and large, an insecure state. Superiors view labor as replaceable. Speaking publicly about one’s job can invite reprisal from an employer—or a government.

    These 10 people felt they had stories worth telling, despite their often vulnerable positions.

    1. kbolino

      Their U.S. example is a “social media influencer”. Meanwhile, in the rest of the world, everyone is actually working. The reason why people in the U.S. aren’t talking like it’s Dickensian London may just be because… it’s not, at least not here.

      I’d really hate to think of what he’s like if you aren’t.

  9. What? A woman out of prime child bearing age has less sex? Shocking.

    Sex less likely and less satisfying as women hit older age

    The number of women who have sex regularly falls off with age as does the number who report enjoyable sex after menopause, a new study shows.

    In a survey of nearly 4,500 women over age 50, researchers found that less than a quarter were sexually active, according to the report published in Menopause. While the primary reason for lack of sexual activity was want of a partner, most often due to widowhood, other reasons included a partner’s sexual dysfunction and the woman’s own physical and/or mental health problems.

    “The central message from our study is that health is an important factor for continued sexual activity and satisfaction in older age, but lack of communication – between healthcare professionals and women and their partners – hinders appropriate support for those who need it,” said the study’s lead author, Helena Harder, a research fellow at Brighton and Sussex Medical School at the University of Sussex in the UK.

    1. straffinrun

      “published in Menopause”. People are getting carried away with these new fonts.

      1. Sensei

        OK, I admit I chuckled.

            Oh come one! Not a single narrowed gaze or nuthin?

          9. Akira

            It’s truly a miscarriage of justice.

          10. Tejicano

    1. Curl the fingers of the non-knifing hand under and rest the knuckles against the flat of the blade while you hold the object being cut still with the fingertips. It minimizes the possibility of cutting yourself when slicing vegetables.

    Stroganoff is the worst dish ever made. I used to hate it growing up, I made myself a meal of it with spaghetti squash, and unless bland boring old potatoes make the difference, stroganoff is the worst dish ever made.

    1. CPRM

      I don’t think you know what strogonoff is. Squash has no place in there. Neither do potatoes.

    2. I mean, am I wrong or is stroganoff just a meat or meat stand-in with gravy over egg noodles? I love all of the components, but I also used to eat TV dinners all the time growing up.

      1. CPRM

        Gravy usually doesn’t have sour cream in it, but I guess it kind of is ‘a’ gravy. What difference, at this point, does it make?

        1. Well, I say gravy, but really something more like a jus with vegetables thickened with corn starch and sour cream. But then again the only stroganoffs I’ve ever eaten involved either a bag or a box with most of the ingredients inside, so my frame of reference might be off.

          1. CPRM

            I grew up poor, but here, from you and Rhy, is the only time I ever heard of boxed strogonoff. Maybe it’s an east coast thing.

          2. Rhywun

            I make real stroganoff now.

            Beef, mushrooms, onions, garlic, beef stock, sherry or other alcohol, sour cream. Easy peasy and soooo delicious.

          3. Spudalicious

            And quality egg noodles.

          4. Rhywun

            Correct. None of that “no-yolk” crap.

          5. Rhywun

            Oh and I left out, a bit of Worcestershire and Dijon mustard.

            I made it with everything but the sherry, because who keeps sherry around? I’ve never seen sherry, I’ve never drank sherry. It’s a myth.

            And the recipe still sucks. So unless sherry is pulling over its weight, stroganoff sucks.

          7. DEG

            Beef, mushrooms, onions, garlic, beef stock, sherry or other alcohol, sour cream. Easy peasy and soooo delicious.

            Yes.

          8. CPRM

            We never had a stroganoff one round here.

          9. Sir Digby (PBUH)

            I see it lots, but don’t want stroganoff.

          11. Spudalicious

            Biscuits and gravy with pasta instead of biscuits, and steak, instead of sausage.

          12. CPRM

            Biscuits and gravy is always that bland flour gravy, in no way comparable to a sour cream sauce.

        Yeah fuck the squash. Get a recipe from one of those old lady cook books and don’t fuck around with it. And use good meat. You will enjoy it.

    3. Spudalicious

      Beef Strokin’ Off is a dish of tight tolerances. Do it right, it’s tummy filling, satisfying, cold weather fare. Stray too far and you have a gloppy mess. And if you’re doing it with spaghetti squash…I can’t even.

    4. RegicidalManiac

      Spaghetti squash? You have really strayed from the true seam, Tulpa.

      Repent your culinary sins and make stroganoff as it should be made, and you too may come to know the truth that is more valuable than small amounts of gold.

      …I’ve got Terry Pratchett’s dwarves on my mind, apparently.

    5. Grummun

      Spaghetti squash is a fucking lie. It’s not spaghetti and it’s a horrible squash. Disgusting.

      The wife spiralizes zucchini and uses that as a low(er) carb pasta substitute. it’s not great, but I can choke it down with a decent sauce around it. Still orders of magnitude better than spaghetti squash.

      1. Sean

        Spaghetti squash almost works in a heavy cheesey sauce, but it’s a lot of effort for an underwhelming result. While zoodles are easy peasy and hold up well to a meaty pasta sauce.

    Beer report: Flying Dog’s Thunderpeel Hazy IPA, 6.2%. A typical example of what seems like a popular trend, a middleweight IPA with a citrusy cast. I find it adequate, not overly hopped, a little sweeter than Brew Dog’s Elvis Juice, which I rather enjoy. I’ll finish the sixer I bought and not regret it, but probably will not make an effort to buy it again.

    But on Thursday evening the actress, who just turned 50, was spotted hugging and kissing a mystery man after dinner with pals.

            And yet, in that same speech he name-drops the odious “Bionic Mosquito”.

  26. Lachowsky

    But this theory of our government is wholly different from the practical fact. The fact is that the government, like a highwayman, says to a man: Your money, or your life. And many, if not most, taxes are paid under the compulsion of that threat.

    The government does not, indeed, waylay a man in a lonely place, spring upon him from the road side, and, holding a pistol to his head, proceed to rifle his pockets. But the robbery is none the less a robbery on that account; and it is far more dastardly and shameful.

    The highwayman takes solely upon himself the responsibility, danger, and crime of his own act. He does not pretend that he has any rightful claim to your money, or that he intends to use it for your own benefit. He does not pretend to be anything but a robber. He has not acquired impudence enough to profess to be merely a “protector,” and that he takes men’s money against their will, merely to enable him to “protect” those infatuated travellers, who feel perfectly able to protect themselves, or do not appreciate his peculiar system of protection. He is too sensible a man to make such professions as these. Furthermore, having taken your money, he leaves you, as you wish him to do. He does not persist in following you on the road, against your will; assuming to be your rightful “sovereign,” on account of the “protection” he affords you. He does not keep “protecting” you, by commanding you to bow down and serve him; by requiring you to do this, and forbidding you to do that; by robbing you of more money as often as he finds it for his interest or pleasure to do so; and by branding you as a rebel, a traitor, and an enemy to your country, and shooting you down without mercy, if you dispute his authority, or resist his demands. He is too much of a gentleman to be guilty of such impostures, and insults, and villanies as these. In short, he does not, in addition to robbing you, attempt to make you either his dupe or his slave.
