I have preview duty tonight….and it is quite easy. Why? We don’t have a lot of material in the pipeline. *hint, hint* I’d sure like to have more stuff to edit…
However, we do have a couple of things lined up:
Monday, Animal writes of…animals. He really has been a stalwart these past few months. *sets out large tub of berry jam for our author-bear to scarf down*
Tuesday, MLW continues to slog through the new, woke Charmed for us. Trust me, this next one is a doozy. She really is doing rough duty watching that dreck, and distilling it down for us.
Wednesday, We expect SugarFree will torment haunt twist regale us with more adventures of The Hat and The Hair (and tha’ Hat). I have managed to get over my disappointment at the intrepid pair not finding Gerry Ford’s Gold.
Thursday, EMPTY. If nobody steps up, you will probably get stuck with me updating Catalonia and Afghanistan events. An nobody wants to settle for that.
Friday, EMPTY. I shan’t be stepping up to do anything on Good Friday….so consider this an additional plea for your submissions.
Weekend – We have been VERY lucky to have Not Adahn, OMWC and Mexican Sharpshooter carrying the load. Occasional contributions from our cryptid … friends too.
I leave the comments for you to bounce ideas around and OT the living daylights out of this.

Of course.
Oh, and feel free to hit your m f’in theme music. I did not provide any music links.
HIT THAT ISH !
I’ve got some thoughts, and am planning to put together a post for the Spring BIF (to try to keep it a bit more organized). But I won’t be around for most of this week or next, Wednesday I fly out to Vegas. If any of you guys who live out there want to meet up, I’ll be at the Orleans and you can hit me up at my handle at the gmail.
Grand! Thank you.
I’ll also see about how many pictures I can get at Viva, and may be asking some of the foreigners who come in what draws them to such an old American traditional scene. Viva draws people from Germany, UK, Australia, Japan, and others.
Somewhat related, for those who want to plan for Viva Las Vegas next year, the rooms at the Orleans are going on sale on 4/16 at 01:00 Pacific time. They will probably be sold out by 05:00 Pacific.
Journalism!
So you’ll want me to save the receipts for the bar bill so I can expense them, right?
Sure, send them to SP…
I just submitted something today.
Euphemism?
No, not drinking, yet.
I am.
Someone has to. I’ll help you make up for CPRM’s slacking.
Im 8 beers in
My second day at Three Rivers. Saw 3 does stroll by this morning while drinking my coffee and then spent all day cruising lake Kahweah on a “patio” boat. It was only slightly slower than an attached patio. Lotta beers this weekend. I’ll be here ’til tuesday.
So the new Star Wars trailer.
That title sounds like the sort of overly literal stuff that Abrams and Hollywood today likes to use. I have read some rumors that force users will end up being known as “Skywalkers” so yeah. Rey is a Skywalker even if she isn’t actually related to Luke…
Also Palpatine is back, somehow in some fashion. Er really? Will Boba Fett escape from the Sarlacc?
I remember when female cosplayers, including a friend of mine who was a fashion model, dressed as Boba Fett because it wasn’t yet canon that he was male.
I thought there were no lady Star Wars fans until Kathleen Kennedy made it her mission.
Um, Boba Fett had a man’s voice…not to say that someone who has a man’s voice can’t be a woman.
Or have a dick, apparently.
EXCUSE ME, IT’S MA’AM!
Now I’m going to have nightmares.
Oh, look what you did, Rhywun! You went and upset Chafed…
I’ll not have a nightmare-addled Chafed in these comments!
Funny, I don’t remember him talking.
“He’s no good to me dead.”
La,la,la la Lola.
Leia used a voice modulator when attempting to rescue Han.
Still sounded like a little bitch……..
I’m kidding!
Sorta.
Palpatine back because of Darth Plagius or something. Disney took a sure fire billion dollar franchise that endured the prequels and mouse fucked it to death.
However Marvel is still going strong.
I suspect that Kathleen Kennedy is a major factor here. She started her career working for Spielberg and I don’t think she was making the creative decisions on those films. Now that she has to make creative decisions on Star Wars she is fumbling about and betting all in on Abrams, Johnson and now Abrams again.
Very well.
Explain to us why you’re trying to do our job that we refuse to do.
“a plan to bus migrants to sanctuary cities”
Bus? Bus? Give ’em a plane ticket. Treat them with dignity, they came a long way walking and are ready to live the high life.
Well, it ain’t the high life, but when they get there, they’ll be showered with all kinds of benefits. This angers Pelosi and Nadler for some reason I can’t figure out.

So I may have found the killer game on the Nintendo Switch. Tetris 99. It’s an online-only battle royale style Tetris game with you against 98 other players. Each player selects who they’re sending their garbage lines to (either specifically, random, attackers, those with the most badges, or those closest to losing). No chat, no communication, and the speed ramps up as players get eliminated.

Okay so if “debt and deficits” are not a concern of Trump and Democrats then how how can that concern be a “centrist” position?
And are “nativism” and the “Green New Deal” really inherently contradictory positions?
And will “middle ground” between two such positions really a good idea let alone a libertarian one?
Compromise = half way between two bad ideas…
I’ll see if I can throw something together this week.
#metoo
#me3 – work has not been cooperating for the past several weeks.
I just finished my taxes, E filed through TurboTax.
Holy crap: the final PDF of Federal, Minnesota, and California together, with worksheets, was 89 pages.
Painful. I’d have owed Federal (did owe both states) if I hadn’t gotten to take the Tesla rebate.
The new standard deduction saved our bacon.
I am going to follow the advice of others and up my withholdings a titch to distribute the pain over the year.
Ba careful not to overdo it after a partial year. I did exactly that last year, and ended up owing 2600 this year.
This was such an odd year with the move (home sale and home buy) and salary change along with some one time bonuses (which seem to have been properly withheld, tax wise).
But I can’t begin to guess what a “normal” year in CA will bring.
The financial equivalent of anal rape. Moving to Idaho from California was an instant 6% raise.
I was all “yay” until I saw that the personal deductions went away. Best I can say is that it wound up a push.
My taxes got real weird last year because I retired. I had working income, social security, pension and 401(k) cashouts. I waaay underestimated our tax burden when retired and had to make up a bunch. So now I’m suffering for the bucks I had to make up for last year plus the new numbers for this year. Hopefully next year will settle out.
We managed to almost net zero taxes owed, zero taxes refunded. Fuck April 15
No doubt. I have never seen such a large “federal taxes withheld” box in my W2s.
Unfreaking believable. Thank goodness I can rest assured knowing that sum, on which a family could have modestly lived in the US, will be efficiently and wisely spent by our betters.
Minimize your withholding. It’s just an interest free loan. Thinking a big refund is better is just backwards thinking.
Yep. Your best situation is to owe zero taxes and zero return.
I know the interest free loan thing is a bad gig, but Mr Splosives lacks discipline to leave our savings alone so it’s actually easier for me to have it never hit the accounts.
I usually balance it out, owe on the Federal, get a refund from the state (which is usually enough to cover the federal taxes).
It’s only gonna get worse…
Slayed again here as usual. I just wish the IRS would send me pictures of the over fed welfare recipients I’m forced to feed every year.
Yeah, it would be like the Compassion International pics of the kids you sponsor. Except that You’d write them letters, and they’d txt back: “yo, what have you done for me lately?”
I’m embarrassed to admit that 2 of them are in my family. You don’t want to see the pictures, I don’t have a wide angle lens on my camera.
A comment (not mine) on the video:

So he just throws in a Sierpinski triangle while talking about quantum mechanics?
That representation got explained in the previous episode. Apparently it’s a decent diagram for anti-de Sitter space.
Anyway, I find the entire notion of a finite universe absurd. Either there is one infinite universe, or infinite multiple universes. Based on what he says in that video, our entire “universe” could be in the “volume” of a black hole in the galaxy in some other universe, and so on.
None of that can be true, because toxic masculinity.

Which model is that? Is that cocobolo?
Looks like it.
Nah, dymandwood.
65-4
The grips were a gift. I’m not sure the specifics on them, other than they are comfy.
A .357 magnum with a 4″ barrel doesn’t sound that comfy, then again, I think .357 magnum has the worst internal ballistics of any round.
I’m drunk, but I’m sure someone will be around to correct you – because you are wrong.
Word games. We went through this a couple of weeks ago. “Internal” ballistics. It will still kill you mightily dead.
That’s terminal ballistics.
1. internal ballistics — what happens before the bullet leaves the gun
2. external ballistics — what happens between the muzzle and the target
3. terminal ballistics — what happens after it hits the target
For target shooting #3 is irrelevant. For self-defense shooting with a handgun #2 is largely irrelevant
#1 is always relevant in any situation that matters.
They’re terminal, all right.
.357 ain’t no .44 magnum, but you can still tell it’s a magnum. Btw, it’s certainly enough, whatever that means.
They’re a dyed wood laminate. Brand names include Dymondwood and Pakkawood.
OK, Saul Goodman has a sad.
Yeah, the patterns seem too regular for cocobolo. It’s a beautiful wood for ‘natural’ finish guitars & basses (as an image search for ‘cocobolo’ will tell you, but the striations aren’t so regular)
Is that a security six?
Sorry that is a Smith.

Of course they do, because they’re commies, just like her. Maybe I should say IT, because there’s nothing feminine going on there.

Heh
She’s not a commie, she’s an Islamist. But she has teamed up with the Communist Karla Marx.
You mean like ‘progessives’, ‘feminists’, like that?
An Islamist is someone in favor of Sharia and a global Theocracy based on Islam. As opposed to your run of the mill Muslim who just wants to live their life and be left alone.
The problem with that is when the Muslim population percentages rises fewer “moderate” Muslims are brave enough to remain neutral.
They must join the crowd or risk death themselves.
Or they just stay silent while atrocities occur.
Islamofacsist. Same diff.
Yes, but not a Communist. Sharia is the doctrine of the day.
I tell ya I never get tired of being lectured on how shitty the US is by a fucking REFUGEE. Y’know, someone fleeing the armpit of the world who won a fucking golden ticket to join in our great experiment.
If the US sucks so bad, go the fuck back to Somalia bitch.
There should have been a Kid Rock song playing behind that comment.
Oh…and I mean that as supportive.
Let me help.

And that fucken smirk.
To be fair, it’s not like she had any choice in the matter. Maybe she really WOULD prefer to go back.

This. THIS. THIS.
Getting real tired of assholes saying, “This country is so much freer than the shithole that I left, let’s take away freedoms until it’s just as bad.”
Don’t say ignorant, stupid shit then.
What’s irritating is people think them ‘stirring up shit’ is a good thing and very American.
i don’t see how they’re helping to advance anything.
They just want to have a ‘conversation’.
So she and her underlings spent the last two days scouring LexisNexis looking for a Republican who “downplayed” 911 and Bush’s quote was the best they could come up with? Fail.

This country was founded on the ideas of justice, of liberty, of the pursuit of happiness. But these core beliefs are under threat. Each and every day. We are under threat by an administration that would rather cage children than pass comprehensive immigration reform.
Where’s the House Democrat’s immigration reform bill? At least acknowledge that Trump is showing considerable compassion by proposing to release those caged illegals into the cities where they will be welcomed with open arms.
There isn’t one, because they have no more interest in producing one than the Republicans do. Which is zero interest.
This. Over and over it is this.
I just looked up this whole controversy about releasing illegal immigrants into sanctuary cities… The response is, um… Wow.
After all the Democrats’ caterwauling about how there’s no negative element to illegal immigration whatsoever, they’re now portraying this move as a “punishment”. How the fuck is it a punishment if you implied that you welcome it by designating yourself as a sanctuary city?
Liars gonna lie. Is she truly believed life, liberty, and justice, she would actually defend everyones ability to call her out on the stupid shit she says.
Fine then, just start building a wall, and in the mean time, have the Border Patrol physically turn back anyone who attempts to enter outside of the designated ports of entry.
I don’t really like the idea of the wall for the reason that gigantic federal projects always suck, but I get the feeling that the Left is doing their best to invite people to come here illegally so that they can 1) buy their votes with welfare benefits, and 2) carry out some political theater over the treatment of illegals who are taken into custody.

“The bad-faith attacks against Omar … are predicated on the notion that Omar is already presumed guilty. She isn’t afforded the presumption that she would find the 9/11 attacks just as abhorrent as anyone else ― all because she’s Muslim.”
I mean I did. And honestly I still do. What she said was a piss poor choice of words. But saying that Trump was calling for violence is dishonest.
I would prefer Trump hadn’t stuck his mushroom into this one – the libs were perfectly capable of pwning themselves – but he can’t help himself.
The only saving grace is that they will push harder now that his mushroom is in the game.
I really should have thought to invest in popcorn futures.

Done with taxes. Writing a check to both the feds and state. Thanks fully my company’s POS HR department was delayed in implementing the new tables so kept it under the penalty threshold. $5k less in earning than the previous year but $5k less in taxes, so the Trump cuts worked out perfectly for me.

The thread. Lol.
i’ve told this story before but since you people don’t work….here goes again.
Years ago we took our daughter to Ben & Jerry’s in Vermont….because whatever. During the tour (I had been before and was just going though the motions for you know….the kid) we sat and watched a video on the history of the company eventually getting to the part where they got bought out by the conglomerate Unilever (the last time I was there B/J was still independent). I let out a spontaneous giggle loud enough for people to hear.
I guess people didn’t get the humor and irony in champagne socialists selling out to greedy, capitalist corporatists.
You know what they say. Before you go woke, make sure you ka-ching!
So that wokeness is Unilever talking and not the original B&J? Crazy.
I know eh!?
Unilever bought B&J twenty years ago. The social justice posturing is something they’ve allowed for a long time.
Or maybe allowed isn’t the right word. They were ok with acquiring B&J without gaining control of the company.
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/23/business/how-ben-jerrys-social-mission-survived-being-gobbled-up.html
Thank goodness that’s paywalled because I don’t think I could stomach an entire article of that much smug.
Bring your barf bag
It’s all just cynical signaling. If they didn’t think all the posturing sold more ice cream, they wouldn’t give a shit.
Which makes me want to push back. People say these choices don’t matter, but the companies sure act as if they do. In that light, why would I NOT pass on Ben and Jerries when Haagen Dazs makes a perfectly serviceable Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough that’s sitting right next to it in the freezer aisle?
@Rhywun:
Agreed. By purchasing Ben & Jerry’s, you’re effectively making a donation to the Bernie Sanders campaign and various other leftist groups that make huge donations to the Democrat Party.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There is so much fucking money across the board invested in advertising to promote the “correct” image and in lobbying for the “correct” policies and the vast majority of people – myself included – pay almost no attention to any of it.
OK, y’all have ruined my dessert – B&J Karlma Sutra.
But,
It’s really good.
Our little market has a lousy ice cream selection.

Yep. Columbus up 3-0.
Yeh but the way Tampa are playing – hint like pussies – CBJ could finish them off in 4.
Ah, n/m – didn’t realize game 3 had ended already.
128 point team no less.
Know what teams hit those numbers? The Habs dynasties in the 70s and Red Wings in the 90s. Difference is those teams WON and dominated in the playoffs.
It often seems in the NHL that teams who dominated the regular season are then spent when they get to the playoffs. I’m painfully remembering my Chicago Blackhawks as a one seed a few years ago getting swept in the first round by Nashville.
I wonder if a better approach is to play in the regular season well enough to make the playoffs, but arrive there with some saved energy to burn.

Modern streaming is so bad. No local buffering. No one except netflix and youtube has full dynamic resolution anymore. Not even to mention the streaming services that have ads where the show does have dynamic resolution, but the ads don’t. So you are watching the show just fine at 480p, then a 1080p ad plays and it just freezes. This is why high speed internet is a human right! So the companies don’t have to work so hard. It’s not cronyism, it’s a HUMAN RIGHT?!
I pine for the days when there were three channels. The rabbit ears didn’t buffer!
When I was ten years old and my city got its fifth channel it was like Christmas, my birthday, and Easter rolled into one.
growing up in East Bumblefuck, Wisconsin we still only had three channels when I was a kid, we got cable in about 87 with 14 channels, it went up to 22 in 88. MTV finally got added after I graduated HS in 2001.
This was 1979. We got glorious cable with 30 channels around 1982, but because I spent 98% of my time in my room with a revolving cast of ancient hand-me-down TV’s and no cable, I watched the shit out of that independent channel throughout HS.
Living in Indonesia, there was 1 channel (gov’t) that had a handful of US or UK shows with subtitles every week. Then they got a 2nd (private channel) early 90s? – with another handful of shows….I think they’re up to 8-10 channels total now (not counting satellite).
I would like more Charmed episode summaries.

It is very entertaining to read Tulsi Gabbard’s Twitter feed. It is a rollercoaster of agreeing with and disagreeing with her tweets. Half the time the agreement/disagreement changes midway through the tweet.
Yeah, and the sad thing is, she’s probably the sanest of the Dems right now.
We should have a glib poll on Trump vs Gabbard. There would actually be a lot of pro and anti liberty positions from both candidates.
Neither of them are for liberty. But Gabbard is stronger on scaling back the WoD and reducing foreign military involvement. Moot point, she’s going nowhere, far too sane for Team Blue.

I haven’t used a charcoal grill in years. But I won one in a chili contest a few years ago and set it up last weekend. Tonight’s bounty was grilled asparagus, Beyond Sausage spicy Italian style, and caramelized peppers and onions. It’s a mild pain in the ass compared to propane, but I may never go back.
I’ve never used anything but a charcoal grill. But then again I use a grill for it’s intended purpose of cooking meat, no idea what a
fagvegetarian would us it for.Making delicious, delicious food. For my wife. Who is a female.
But, you won’t give her the meat. Now all those those texts she’s sent me make sense…
She’s accustomed to kosher salami.
Just because you don’t let her have sour Cream doesn’t mean she won’t get it somewhere else. Supply and demand.
Someone’s being salty tonight! OK, more than one person is being “salty”…
SP and OMWC are the only glibs I’ve met, so we have some inside jokes, even if they don’t know it, I’m making it a thing!
Oh, I do that, too.
The shit you and I never got into, yet I still laugh about? Pure gold.
I do like the flavor from charcoal, but yes, the prep work is a bit of a pain.
I’ve thought about just making a circle out of bricks and sticking a few grates in there. The metal on my charcoal grills always rusts out really fast, probably due to above-average use and being left out in the rain (since I don’t feel comfortable putting the cover on it when there’s still fire inside).
The grill I have my dad got circa 1996. I take shit care of it, I’m just now thinking of getting new grates. Then again, I’m not a nancy who worries about rust, it puts iron in your blood.
My gripe with rust is that it causes the grill to physically fall apart 😉
Vegetable oil
That is all
Well, looky at ol’ Akira, here! Can’t handle a little structural failure!
This-for the same reason(s).
Had propane, and it was OK. But wasn’t content, and just had to get charcoal, because taste.
Now, have a charcoal grill that I’ve used maybe 5-10 times in 3 years, as it’s too much prep work for no real improvement in taste.
I’m always intrigued by the “too much prep work” argument against charcoal.
1) fill chimney with wood chunks
2) adjust vents
3) light papers under chimney
4) go do something for 15 minutes
5) dump chimney into grill
Also, if you use lump charcoal instead of reconstituted sawdust nuggets, the flavor difference is very noticeable.
Compared to propane: Turn on gas, press igniter. Cook.
So, who here already knew that Comedy Central and Jim Jeffries were a bunch of pussies?
I think there is enough context in the early part of the video, but if not, I may be able to shed a little light about this.
I’m not sure if the video you linked is what you intended. So far it’s a woman sitting in a room and she said ‘do journalism’, yeah.
A) She’s a furriner–kinda
B) She’s, most likely, a millennial
c) Doesn’t change the facts of the case.
But, since you’re gonna shit-lord my link, try the man’s perspective
Oh, so that was the video you meant to share? Well why not just point out that Jim Jeffries got famous in the US by making fun of cripples and let the SJW mob take him down?
‘Cause I dislike Jeffries enough to avoid most of his work. Especially that.
Not clicking. No-sir-ee
I don’t like his stand-up, don’t know him for anything but that and the show, but I like the show.

I listen to Omar’s speech where she said that and it’s clear to me she’s saying that Muslims in the US after 9/11 felt they were being collectively blamed. That isn’t true, however, Fox is full of shit by claiming she was downplaying 9/11. She deserves being raked over the coals for whinging about “muh stereotypes!” when she and AOC and Tlaib have built their entire political careers on collectivized guilt.
/Rant off
I agree. She wasn’t trying to downplay it, just shorthand, vernacular stuff. She still sucks
I got the impression, by where she put that line in her speech, that she WAS downplaying. I think it’s overboard to keep harping on it (Fox, or anyone else–it’s just not that newsworthy), but, if that is what she did*, it’ll be an albatross around her for some time to come.
*I’m open to the probability that I misunderstand her use of the phrase. I’m of the opinion that she’s Islamist enough to say it that way, but I could be wrong.
Think about it this way, if someone tells me I owe reparations to descendants of slaves, I’m going to ask why someone somewhere did something I have no relation to makes me guilty. Wordy, but you get my point. Omar is a POS and we can easily agree on that.
But then you ignore her (ignorant? or truth bending?) next sentence, where she says CAIR was formed in retaliation to the response from 9/11, even though it was formed in the mid-90s.
If her point was to bring light to the wrongs done by the Patriot Act, she got the order of causality wrong.
Yes, with your example, I do see it differently.
I’m not going to defend any iota of that speech. Just that the line they are seizing on was meant to emphasize her “victim” status more than saying 9/11 wasn’t so bad. To me, that’s just as bad as downplaying 9/11 because it springs from the same line of thinking.
I haven’t seen anything about this other than the clip, I ignore most news, unless I have to write a cartoon.
C, I find that to be one of the most brilliant and funny sentences I’ve seen in a long time. As THaTH takes off, you should think about making this the quote of your public self.
Yeah, I don’t have a horse in the game, so her words are as disgusting to me as people who say because people died on 9/11 we need to wage endless war against everyone in the middle east,
^Bingo!

Wait, does Cher hate Trans people?!
I don’t understand native English speakers who capitalize almost every single word in non-headline sentences. I know German capitalizes every single noun whether it’s a proper noun or not, but I can’t comprehend how a native English speaker would get the idea that that’s necessary.
It Does Look Better In Print. That’s Why It Is Used In Headlines And Adds.
There was commenter at TOS named Monte Crisco (I liked the guy) who would end most of his comments with !!!. Checked the other day and he got memory holed. People underestimate the power of understating.
I kinda remember him/her/xir… Got holed, and probably didn’t get the courtesy of a reach-around.
Fucked up because I have a bunch of responses to him that now make me look like (even more of) a loonatic.
That is…weird.
Googled him on reason because it seemed kind of familiar also. I guess some are still there. One I clicked on was from 9 years ago. Top of the comments, J sub D (RIP). And a bunch of others with familiar names that either faded away or didn’t make the leap.
Icing on the cake? Article was by fruit sushi. How long has that guy been there?
Also noticed that the comments are marked closed. I remember when you could corpse fuck years dead thread. Some of them were interesting, like the salty tears one until they got Viking Moose.
She just seems illiterate to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have a “You bitch, you bought it” philosophy re; politics. Anytime anyone complains that government should “do something” that involves taking care of people (food, shelter, medical…you get the picture), I say, ‘If you bitch, you bought it’. If you’re going to complain about people going without–especially if you know of such situations actually going on–you should do something about it, instead of just foisting it on our temporary (heh) nobility.
So, if Cher knows that LA has 50,000 people in need of some thing(s) being paid for on their behalf, she should get off her aging hippy ass and pay for it. I have no interest at all in telling people how to spend their resources. Unless they start trying to make demands of me and others. At that point, all bets are off.
And, she can go screw.
For Sir Digs,

Heh. Heheheheheheheheh.
/I actually vaguely remember seeing that somewhere (I don’t twatter, either). Gee, I wonder how it went for her….
Shit, I somehow cutt off the first quote:
Remember ‘the day without immigrants‘? If you don’t then you’re not rich enough to be a democrat.
Zing!
She’s just a gypsie tramp thief. Move along.
Completely agree. It’s always pass the buck. Someone else should do it and someone else should pay for. If it’s so important then you do it, organize it, pay for it, and/or lead the fundraising.
Ok, good knight glibs.

YouTube gives a Super Jockey clip with that in the up next column. Would really like to understand the recommendation algorithm.
What if I identify as a “k’nigit”?
I mean, I am silly, and I speak English…
If that’s your name then you play pro football.
Well, I am a big guy. Just not Football big. Or, a sportsball fan.
Can someone tell me how many intersectionality points this earns? I lost my score card.

How does a male only college not get sued out of existence these days?
Either the people prone to sue think it’s better for it to be around to protect a ‘marginalized community’, or, they don’t actually want to attend that particular uni.
/why not both?
