Mom: /points at black plastic tray on the floor
Doesn’t that need to be picked up?SP: No, it’s Wonder Dog’s ice cube tray. That’s where we put her ice cubes when she asks for them.
Mom: Why is it on the floor?
SP: Because Wonder Dog is on the floor.
Mom: /points at black plastic tray on the floor

Birthdays today are a particularly auspicious group, starting with the guy who helped lay the foundations of libertarian philosophy; a guy whose legacy far outweighs his talent; arguably the finest stand-up bass player to ever walk the Earth; unarguably the finest pianist of the 20th century; an asshole with an amazing songwriting talent; the girl whom I taught oral sex; the King of Cringe Comedy; and the finest wide receiver I ever saw.
OK, news, or what’s left of it.

Maybe she can hold her breath ’til she turns blue, stomp on the floor a few times. Then, “world leaders” will listen to her and the rest of the kids.
If she drives down the cost of business class tickets, it’s all good.

The thing to consider is is the extra cost worth it

Wasnt there a movie about her doing that?

Hey, Tres (if you’re still around) – didja hear the Crack Central Kroger is closing?
Sorry Im late- just got home
Yeah, I did see that. I wonder what they’re gonna due with the space.
Also, I wonder if there’s gonna be an outcry by the NAACP about leaving N. Dayton in a food dessert like when Aldi closed. Then again, given the demographic of that area…..naw.

Good morning, OMWC! LOVE “Mr. Spaceman!” We used to do a medley/mashup of that and another goofy spaceman song. Good times!
I loved the Bonzos. They need to be featured on an Old Guy Music…
I was once woken up by a cop banging on my door at 3 am because my garage door was open. She was not happy when I told her to mind her own business and to leave immediately. I worded it as politely as I could. I think she had been chasing some neighborhood kids and wanted me to let her look through my garage.
I guess I should count myself lucky she didn’t fear for her life and shoot me.
It doesn’t help that you were in your own house…you really were risking your life.
At 3 AM its a little dangerous to bang on doors or answer the banging of the door. Also a little too late (or too early) for banging…
“Danger Bang”….has potential
A friend of mine used to be the Trainmaster at a little town in South Carolina, he brags that he was responsible for a little local baby boom account of him moving the locals switcher’s time up from 0600 to 0500. When the local had to pull out of town they were always hard on the whistle, we were and in most cases still are, required to whistle at whistle boards and certain crossings. Apparently 9 months after he bumped the on duty time up, the town had a big spike in child births.
And if you suggested you were in fear of your life so shot her, the cops would be going nuts.
At least she banged on the door. That guy was just creeping around quietly looking for somebody to shoot.
Was it the back door?
*snicker*
I hope the neighbor feels responsible. I know I’m inundated in this, but I really can’t think of calling the cops as anything but borderline malicious. As such it should only be done when in active danger.
He does.
[H/T to Mojeaux, who linked to this a few posts back.]
Now I kinda feel bad. He’s got more anguish over it than the guy who pulled the trigger.
I don’t. I saw a tweet that said, “Why didn’t you go check on her yourself if you were that concerned?”
Yeah. Yeah. why didn’t you?
I thought about that too. I just assumed that he didn’t feel bad at all.
Most people don’t realize the peril they are raining down when they call the cops in to handle a welfare type situation. Too bad the guy’s ignorance cost his neighbor her life. Hopefully it motivates him to do something impactful about it.
“Most people don’t realize the peril they are raining down when they call the cops”
My wife and I talked about this, because I have zero respect for cops. I try to keep my opinions tempered when talking to my young kids, but I never ever ever tell them that cops are their friends
Yeah, it’s tough. I don’t want them scared of cops, but I don’t want them not scared, either.
I’ve tried to emphasize that cops are people doing a job, not your friends, and that job is not to “protect and serve,” any more than “quality is job one” for Ford. That police see people as a threat, particularly (but not limited to) young men.
I don’t see my neighbors for months, unless its at a party of some sort. No news is good news.
My son is a “free-range” kid, meaning I give him almost as much freedom as kids in the 80s had. He goes on his bike everywhere and if he has money, he’ll go farther afield. He has to be home by dark. If it’s scorching hot, I make him take water.
So one day it’s scorching hot and he’s zipping along and gets stopped by a cop. He just wanted to make sure my kid was okay in the heat, if he had water, if his parents knew where he was, and offered to bring him home in an AC car.
He said, “I can’t. My mom will freak out that I’m in a cop car.”
Not sure whether to be proud of him or what. Cop did a nice thing. Cops do lots of nice things.
But I myself was brought up to loathe and fear cops*, so I try not to let that rub off too much. Then shit like this happens and keeps happening and I get to where I don’t believe my lyin’ eyes when they do do something nice.
*My dad worked as a city investigator for KCMO. Oftentimes he had to write up reports against cops. He always feared retaliation, such as putting drugs in our cars and then pulling him over.
He also would say that in the 70s and 80s, KCMO administered a psych test for cop appliacants. Okay, so what? Everybody does that. KCMO deliberately selected for the most psychopathic ones.
What I mean to say is that my personal experience with cops is at odds with what I was taught and what I see on the news.
It’s a very loud cognitive dissonance.
Even when I have been stopped for speeding, I haven’t had a cop be an asshole to me. Always calm and polite. Of course, the tears help.
So you haven’t trained him to say, “Am I being detained?”
No. The thing with my kid is that if you suggest he say calmly, “Am I being detained?” he will take that as a command to be an absolute asshole, running his mouth, and getting himself into further trouble.
Attagirl! : D
There are plenty of decent cops and there is need for them. There are also plenty of aspects of the war on drugs, police unions, and militarized policing that lead to bad outcomes. There are also some bad cops. It would be nice if people could do nuance, but we tend to be bad at that as a species.
I’m not hot enough to use my looks. IMO, tears work better anyway.
I… I’m split on this. I have quite a few friends who are cops. They are nice people to me. But when they tell their cop stories, it drives me insane because there are plenty of things that are plainly unconstitutional despite what the courts say. Also if cops were decent then they would actually make an effort to root out the bad cops rather than constantly try to provide cover for them.
For example just look in this article. The cops have already searched an noted that the girl had a firearm in her appartment (though they don’t know if she was near it at the time? how do they not know that? they do know that, they just are trying to provide a good story for their murderer friend).
So yeah i have a hard time saying there are any decent cops.
And as for necessary, sure there is a need for the service, but one i could easily see being privatized and put on the open market for competition.
A reporter wrote the article. It’s not known to the reporter if she was near the gun at the time the cop shot her in her own house. The cops know perfectly well how near she was to it.
“Police released photographs of a gun they said that they found in a bedroom at the house. They did not say whether Jefferson was holding the weapon when the officer shot her.”
I mean, was she in the bedroom where the gun was found when she was shot? Doesn’t seem like she was, right?
I suppose when she was shot the gun may have been launched from her hand into the bedroom… yeah, that’s the ticket.
WTF is it about the Midwest and garage doors. I had this exact experience in IL, but a male cop.

SodaStream changed our lives.
The Bubbles of Oppression.
Same. I actually use the smaller bottle. It’s easy to make more and it will retain more carbonation.
If there was a soda distributor with bulk CO2 close I’d get one of the rigs that let’s you refill the SodaStream bottles. Sadly there isn’t, so expensive refills for us!
Yeah… we’re right on the cusp of having to just break down and install a soda gun. Wifey and the kids drink seltzer almost exclusively and I’m knee deep in This AWESOME book.
Agree, the book is the awesome.
I use bulk CO2 to run my airbrush so already have the tanks, a 60lb refill is around $30, but I have no way to hook the tanks up to the water.
They make an adapter that refill the the SodaStream bottle from a bulk tank.
Only issue is that some tanks may or may not have a tube inside so you may have to invert the tank. I believe it needs to be gaseous and not liquid and many tanks pick up from the bottom.
They claim the CO2 is identical at a commercial gas supply company, but I’d prefer to get it from somebody that sells “food grade”.
You could just get a keg and hook the CO2 tank up to that.
I thought that was on the boycott list?
True. I suppose we should write (((SodaStream))).
Do the economics really work out on that? I heard it was pricey from the C02 refills or something.
We get the refills at Bed, Bath, Beyond and take advantage of their wonderful coupon policy. With the amount of fizzy water our family consumes, it is significantly less expensive than bottled seltzer.
Your BB&B coupons don’t exclude everything they have in stock?? Lucky duck!
Huh. Maybe I’ll investigate again.
I always toss the BB&B coupons because I find Amazon still undercutting them.
I haven’t used mine in a long time. Replacement bottles are expensive, and when I did do the refill I didn’t think it lasted as long as a new purchase bottle. I did not get all scientific and do math or anything, but my Safeway started selling their store brand seltzer water for $3 for a twelve pack of cans. Seemed to be cheaper in my mind.

The goddamn MRI results only come out Friday. Stupid MRI
How did that go? It was on your shoulder, right? Mr. GT had one of those done on his head after a TIA (“mini-stroke”) and said it was the weirdest, creepiest experience of his life. And he did a lot of drugs back in the day.
MRIs are creepy because you’re in such a close space. I keep thinking of the buried-alive scene in Kill Bill. But you’re given headphones to listen to the music of your Kind-of choice to drown out the noise. I just keep my eyes closed. I had one tech tell me she had never seen a patient who could keep as still as I did for as long.
Fuck a duck. Tag fail. Again.
Too much blood in your caffeine stream?
That’s it.
So she was telling you you’re as creepy as the MRI? :-p
i don’t mind the closed space staying perfectly still for 25 minutes is more difficult
Pie, as a friendly, fellow* glib, I should remind you of the various vampire made around here.
*it’s early for me, and “kiss ass” seemed excessive
I’ve slept thru a couple of them. Not so bad.
yes, my shoulder. It went like an MRI mildly unpleasant because of the not moving and the noise but nothing extreme. I think it is only an issue when you have claustrophobia or metal things in your body
Rotator cuff? Two torn ones for me. One I have had repaired and it’s really not much better, but I also left it too long before having it repaired.
no subacromial impingement. last MRI a year ago showed 0 damage to the rotator cuff
No impingement is good. So what’s the working theory now? A nerve thing? Lingering overuse injury?
well i fucked it up two years ago doing a stupid exercise a trainer recommended in the gym, which I knew was not that good but did it anyway. I aggravated it a month ago either swimming or body surfing a large wave in the sea.
Ah. I mentioned overuse because I had what I would have sworn on a stack of bibles was a torn labrum from doing military presses, until it switched shoulders. For me it was a combo of not having adequate strength in support muscles for the weight I was using, leading to sloppy form, and then not resting enough because I think I’m still 20.
I wonder what percentage of musculoskeletal injuries are caused by dumbass trainers and/or poorly maintained/calibrated equipment in gyms and health clubs.
caused by dumbass trainers and/or poorly maintained/calibrated equipment in gyms and health clubs
Mrs trshmnstr says “lots”
She’s of the opinion that the machines are only useful in a small subset of cases, and that dumbbells/barbells are superior for general fitness. She’s also a stickler for form and for not overdoing the weight.
i am angry at myself because i usually did not listen to trainers… but this time I said I’d try it.
The exercise was a giant set:
incline dumbbell chest press superset with incline dumbbell flyes superset with flat dumbbell press superset with flat dumbbell flyes. And I was tired and I lost form at the last set of flies… Especially with the trainer doing the bullshit Arnold advice of going real low with the flyes …
I don’t mind the MRI too much myself. It’s like trying to take a nap at a club. Which I’ve done.
They have MRI’s in Eastern Europe? You guys are really moving up in the world!

It warms the cockles of my cold heart that there are hipster doofuses who think their bespoke milk service is “saving the planet” or something. What a world.
“It’s more expensive & worth it!”
hahhahahahahahahhaha
Me too. It’s funny to me that because it’s more expensive they equate it with better for the environment, when the huristic really ought to go the other way.
Someone will have to glibsplain why millennials (aside from do the opposite of what millennials do of course) are turning to milk bottles are bad.
I think it might be that the process to use glass over plastic will be environmentally more expensive. It’s a seen vs unseen thing. Electric cars are clean because I don’t see that im putting in coal into it to run it.
I’m not up on the latest nontroversy, but I’d imagine that hand delivering milk separately is much less eco friendly than tossing a plastic jug in the car with all your other groceries.
Well, the greens seem to forget that disposable plastic containers became ubiquitous because they solve a lot of problems. They’re lighter, making them cheaper to transport. They’re cheap, so throwing them away and making another is viable. Unlike reusable containers, you don’t have to use water, soap, power, and labor to clean and sanitize them.
And have many alternative uses. Watch a water filled gallon jug explode when hit with a 30-30 round. That will give you an idea what happens to a deer
under the same circumstances.

I don’t know if you remember the cop in Utah who got fired for arresting a nurse for refusing to take a blood sample from an unconscious man, after a cops high-speed Chase led to a deadly accident. Well he got fired and is now suing for wrongful termination.
I remember that case, but don’t remember whether it would have been illegal or just unethical for the nurse to draw the sample without the unconscious man’s consent.
What drivez me mad is that it was clearly a ploy to try to pin the ultimate death on that guy, when the cops had violated policy by engaging in a high speed chase in downtown SLC
The hospital’s lawyers told the cops she couldn’t and they wouldn’t allow her to do it, but the cops arrested her anyway.
Without a warrant, it is illegal for a nurse to draw blood without consent for non-medical purposes.
I have had that exact conversation with cops who were bullying an ED nurse. I told them she was acting under my direction, so if anyone was obstructing justice, it was me. They declined to arrest the general counsel of the largest hospital in town, and didn’t arrest the nurse either.
Bonus: they had to hire on call phlebotomists to draw blood in those cases at the jail, so some of our people picked up sweet moonlighting contracts.
Good. I hope he’s laughed out of court.
I doubt he will loose. The Unions have got some sweet deals, and I’ve never seen a Cop in Salt Lake get fired who and then loose his wrongful termination suit.

Feds hit GirlsDoPorn owners with criminal sex trafficking charges
Sex trafficking…?
I’m just gonna say, with a name like “girlsdoporn” it sounds like they were being forthcoming.
Ya, I am not getting the “trafficking”. Appears there is a good shot at a few rape charges though. wtf?
The article described an instance where they were told they couldn’t leave until they performed a certain act they didn’t want to, which I suppose would quality. But I think we’ve seen this a lot in law enforcement lately. Anything involving sex is being called “trafficking,” even though it isn’t.
How is this anything but a civil case? The lies and coercion are that the producers told the women the film would not have a domestic release, then posted it on the website. That is a not particularly unusual contract claim, not a crime.
OK, read the whole article before posting next time. Yeah, possibly some rape charges, maybe even a wrongful imprisonment case. Still calling BS on the trafficking.
All criminals are either traffickers or terrorist or victims of oppression.

Trying to watch the football game but Chris Wallace is on with his panelists whining about how American boys need to die more and more in the quagmire that is the middle East.
Is Chris Wallace talking about how Turkey cucked America?
I don’t know. Last night on the local news they showed Kurdish protesters. I truly feel bad for the Kurds, but i prickle at the whole thing becasue the last few years have shown me that the Media is completely biased and especially in areas of Foreign Policy they are of one mind. So When they start calling into question turkeys claims of killing terrorists, i get upset because the media refuse to acknowledge the PKK as a reality. And then i might hop onto facebook and get inundated with the flood of NPC’s on there, mindlessly spouting the “truth” they learned on CNN/NBC/ABC.
The Kurds are being used to attack Trump from every angle.
There’s nothing especially unusual about the role they’re playing in the ME and with any other president nobody would even be talking about them.
I feel bad for them but they aren’t worth a single drop of American blood as far as I’m concerned. What are we supposed to do, go to war with Turkey so they can establish a successionist Maoist state on Turkey’s border?
If Trump had stayed, or put more troops into the war zone, then right now the same people would be talking about “dangerous escalation” and pointing out that the Kurds are not a nation state, and that Turkey is an allied nation state.
There’s a reason Orange Man Bad is a meme, and its because at this point its blatantly obvious that these people just oppose everything Trump does, whether or not its a good idea or a bad idea or if it conforms with their supposed ideological stances.
Opposition is their ideological stance.
