Back from BGG CON and fantastic TX BBQ. By the time these links Post, I should be at the hospital getting my third and final cortisone shot for my worthless C7 disc crushed nerves. And then tomorrow I get to go from work to see Mom moved over from acute rehab care to longer term rehab/assisted living. I am so busy…waaaa!
Poor me – I have access to the best medicine in the world. 200 years ago, I would have been an angry laudanum addict or such instead. Mom and Dad have access to wonderful help and facilities, instead of sitting in a rocking chair and croaking. STOP FOOKIN’ WHINGIN’ YE GIT!
There, much better. Now that I am focused, on to Links!
- Maybe sudden wealth for some people is…not optimal. I know for a fact, everyone that reads this here site could easily handle that kind of money…right?
- Evidence of our corruption shows how well we are doing at stopping corruption!!! But seriously….how does a faith group go from ‘anywhere two believers gather is my house’ to having a police force, a Financial Information Authority (AIF), and a Secretariat of State? *Sigh*
- Wait….how dare (((they))) ask him to admit error! Shocking! Next up, American Jews might start realizing TEAM BLUE really are not their friends. Well, maybe not today. Or tomorrow. Or the next day.

Starting with a Hi-Wire Bed of Nails Brown 6.1 ABV. Tasty.
Founders Kentucky Bourbon Stout – 12.1% for me. Definitely feeling it. Will probably chase with a coke zero.
I’ve got some Canadian Breakfast Stout in my fridge…
Yeah, pleasantly not as bitter as some of their other stouts – just gotta drink it slow with dinner.
Bottled from the opposite side of the barrel.
I can guarantee you that I would not kill my kids or my wife.
Or buy date rape drugs.
Date rape, sheeeeyit. These days I’d use them to get a few hours of peace and quiet.
Date rape drugs for hookers though?
Just because he won the lottery doesn’t mean he can’t be frugal.
But who buys a hooker a drink? What hooker is going to fall for that? What’s her enforcer doing?
Why is this still in court?
Am I the only one entertaining the notion the wife framed him?
At least he didn’t stab himself in the back of the head multiple times, like a Clinton snitch.
Whoa! Look at Mr. Moral High Ground! What with his use of “or” in that statement. I’m totally willing – without hesitation – to say: “I would not kill my kids AND my wife”. I have to be honest. Changing that to an OR statement seems like a pretty big jump in commitment. Actually as I think about it, I’m more comfortable with: “I would not kill all my kids and my wife”?
But I’ll definitely stand behind that statement 100%
“But I’ll definitely stand behind that statement 100%”
Well, you’re the Pope, so we’ll see in a few years.
How many Popes are there, anyway?
I think I’ve got the only 100% way with it. No wife, no kids. Can’t kill what you don’t have…
Just have to stick with killing the prostitutes, hmm?
When they’re dead, they’re just hookers!
“Stokes — who had won more than $50,000 in the lottery — took his wife hostage, sparking a five-hour siege with police, the inquest was told.”
That’s hardly rich. You can spend more than that on a pick-up.
Or on hookers and blow! – (he at least had the hookers part)
Yeah, something tells me that guy had issues long before that modest winnings fell into his lap.
He won 50 grand. After taxes he had 25 grand. AND THEM RELATIVES TRIED TO TAKE IT FROM HIM!
The pickup Mrs. A and I would want is easily twice that.
King Ranch or GTFO!
Silly me – of course.
Is there not a Platinum King Ranch?
Every time I go in for a service I wander through the show room. Always get someone in a hurry to help me but I guess when they recognize me they walk away quickly so they aren’t wasting their time.
Because you never know when you may have pull a travel trailer and 4 door Wrangler behind it for when you want something small to go town from the campground.
Sudden wealth…
Christ, what an asshole.
And he won just $50,000.
Yeah, it makes maybe a touch more sense now…but still not the route I would go.
I have many, many times that amount in investments. $50 Large? I’d just have my 95-year-old front porch rebuilt.
Is this considered a humble-brag, or just a brag?
Well, in one of the pictures he is decked out in his spandex cycling togs, so…yeah.

Also, how to handle a ton of money all of a sudden is looking like it might become relevant for me given my preseason wager on the Ravens winning the Super Bowl, and by ton of money I mean $300 big, fat smackeroos!
Bill’s buying the beers!
“BARKEEP! ONE ROUND OF ONLY THE FINEST DOMESTIC DRAFTS FOR MY FRIENDS!”
Works for me:)
That’ll be a $300 fine and five years in the army.
They don’t want me, that I can guarantee.
Utopias for all!
Nothing pisses me as much as a bar that misuses the word domestic.
The ballparks here finally stopped putting craft beers under Import a couple years back. Back in the late 90’s, I asked them how the fuck Great Lakes Brewing was an “import” (the brewery is walking distance of
Progressive FieldThe Jake).I can break you with the finest domestic beers. Using the literal meaning of the word, of course.
And amusingly, Bud and Miller/Coors are as domestic as Honda and Toyota — made in USA but owned overseas.
Who cares where something is owned?
Donald Trump?
I think I can help her out with that.

Well, I did buy a couple Mega Millions tickets today…
I, for one, volunteer to find out if I can manage the sudden wealth.
Honestly, I might prefer to win 2nd prize.
$1MM makes things very nice, without changing my life.
But the rest of us want you to change your life!
You shitlords won’t be able to kick around Tech Dump in Minnesoda about being a hypocrite when it comes to reducing its carbon footprint!
Not sure exactly why they needed to rent a room at an event center, but sure. You are so cute and clever.
Sounds like they got the Dump part right.
This introvert’s dream is to bang a hot broad without making any effort or dealing with the aftermath.
But I guess watching an expensive infomercial from my home is a close second.
Got rage?
The parents of a murdered University of Utah track star said in a court filing Monday their daughter’s reports of abuse at the hands of an ex-boyfriend were treated “with deliberate indifference” and authorities minimized the threat “based on false and invidious gender stereotypes.”
The people Lauren McCluskey and her friends appealed to for help in dealing with Melvin Rowland “impermissibly relied on gender stereotypes when determining how to exercise their discretion in responding to reports of Lauren’s harassment,” the filing states.
Instead of taking steps to keep the 37-year-old sex offender away from McCluskey, they “relied on a laundry list of traditional, but false, notions about the nature of men and women and their proper role in society that derives from gender stereotypes.”
The document states that school officials “effectively ignored the situation.”
——-
The filing is part of a $56 million negligence lawsuit filed against the University of Utah and several individuals who work for the school by the victim’s parents, Jill and Matthew McCluskey.
Lawyers and bereaved parents can be an ugly thing. Did the school explicitly claim to immunize all students from any conceivable adverse outcome?
Maybe they think the school will settle. I find it hard to believe that “gender stereotype” argument is going to fare well in the jury room.
The University of Daycare
Maybe I’m just old-fashioned, but the traditional notion that college girls shouldn’t date 37-year-old sex offenders sounds like pretty solid advice.
OK Boomer
Did she receive adequate training about NOT dating 37-year-old sex offenders? From anyone? If not, that college is responsible.
If not,
that collegethe parents is responsible.FTFY.
Everyone she ever met failed to train her not to date this guy, so it’s obviously the college’s fault.
The parents *is* responsible??
Somewhere between
Two weeks after the young woman asked for help from university officials, Rowland killed her on Oct. 22, 2018.
and
Later, an independent review commissioned by the university found multiple missed warning signs before the shooting.
there’s a lot missing. I don’t know how there could be “multiple missed warning signs” in two weeks, especially from a non-student.
Why weren’t all these people going to the cops instead of the school?
Forget the cops! Why didn’t she purchase an effective life insurance policy?
She didn’t want to burden anyone with sudden wealth.
I almost did a spit take at the bar.
This is why I wholeheartedly support the 2nd amendment.
Sorry to go OT early, Swiss. In response to the recent election, a wave of counties in VA are considering Second Amendment Sanctuary resolutions. I believe about half of the counties in VA have either passed the resolution or have already scheduled a vote. The entire state is essentially solid red outside of 3 metropolitan
shitholesareas.We’ll see what this means for VA. Are 2nd Amendment Sanctuaries widespread in New Jersey, Maryland, NY, etc? VA is turning into a very divided state.
For VA Glibs (or anyone interested): Carroll, Charlotte, Campbell, Appomattox, Patrick, Dinwiddie, Lee, and Pittsylvania Counties have approved resolutions to become sanctuary cities.
Here is the list from VCDL of the dates for votes in other counties. There is another list of counties that haven’t scheduled yet.
Interesting. I know the Charles City Commonwealth’s Attorney. I’ll have to ask him about it.
NJ? Hah, red counties cheerfully throw the book at rednecks who cling to their guns for any infraction.
It plays well to the soccer moms.
I’m uncomfortable agreeing with anything Dinwiddie likes. Quite the conundrum for a Petersburg guy.
I don’t know if NY has any such thing but I would imagine they have been beat-down much longer than VA so I suspect not.
Hmm, if 2nd Amend Sanctuaries are absent in NJ and NY, I’m hopeful that the gun bans from Richmond may play out differently in VA. Especially if the majority of counties in the state sign on with noncompliance, which seems possible or even likely right now.
Thanks for the update. Definitely mirroring what WA did a couple years ago. No luck for Albemarle Co I guess – but I do live right next to Greene Co where (IIRC, there are many more guns than people), etc.
Can the counties be allowed to secede if they join West Virginia? It seems to be the simple solution.
Oh good. I’m so happy to see that the Minnesoda Amazon workers are back in the news. Their last strike went so well (a reported 15 workers joined the walkout most of which were the organizers).
If that is your starting point, what are you trying to negotiate to? If you are an actual worker, do you look at that statement and wonder how you are going to talk them into more dollars into your pocket? Do you realize at that point that the “spokespeople” for this nonsense could give a shit about you? All they want is to put Amazon out of business.
I can see wanting a safer working environment but the rest is just JSJW activism and won’t help the workers.
SJW I don’t know what the first J stands for.
Jack-off
I was thinking Juvenile.
Sorry. It was 20 workers who walked out last time. But of course that is only because The Man was ready to kill them.
“And it was cold out, besides!”
She forgot to add.
It isn’t in that story, but in another one on that strike, it actually said the protest was cut short due to weather.
You’d think dedication to saving lives from the horrors of Amazon Auschwitz would survive a bit of rain.
When I first moved up here, I worked at Amazon’s warehouse in Edina until I landed my full-time gig. I applied easily through their website. They hired me without an interview, and within a few weeks of applying I was working a part-time shift for them at a hair under $16 an hour. All they asked was for me to show up and be reasonably productive. Oh the humanity!

Local proggie site has yet another infuriating anti-vaping story. All the heavy hitters from Minnesoda’s DFL are in there demanding action!
Trump is so evil and dumb for backing away from his vaping ban. And those e-cigarettes are killing everyone.
I guess the writer must have discounted the fake news peddled by those hacks at the CDC.
Those fucking liars at the CDC started this whole hysteria with their own campaign of misinformation. Juul and the rest should be suing their asses off.
Someone had to slow the tide of people giving up cigarettes. Cigarette taxes were dropping and this has the effect of the public crying for regulation of vape products so they can tax that too. Tax $ – more addictive than nicotine.

Brookline passes bylaw banning future use of oil, gas in new buildings
Here’s the thing…. here in MA, the grid is decreasingly stable. In fact, the ISO estiamtes that they will have huge blackouts should a big storm come through that interferes with solar and wind generation during times of high demand.
I’m sure that Rep Vitolo truly believes his angry imaginary sky-mommy will punish anyone who tries to stay warm when she’s chastising us with a storm; it’s like covering your butt during a spanking.
For the rest of us who don’t share his primitive, animist superstitions it’s not so good.
They’ll just import electricity from gas-fired plants elsewhere. And being a rich town, there won’t be many complaints. How wonderful for them to lead the way for the rest of us.
A rolling black-out during a major blizzard with nothing but electricity to rely on could make the carbon-neutral a lot quicker than they expect.
*theM carbon-neutral
I think this is terrific. It looks like NY and MA are working their way toward a fossil fuel free future. They can lead by example. Some of their neighbors, say NH and PA, are not going in that direction. In the next 10 to 20 years, let’s see how those states are performing and how satisfied the citizens are with grid reliability. I know who I’m betting on.
67% of electricity in Massachusetts comes from Natural Gas.
Canada too is leading that way despite the Economy being resource heavy and the bad winters but what do I know?
San Jose is doing the same. You have people sleeping and shitting in all the creek beds, and the geniuses on City Council come up with this crap to harass the normals.

I’m at an office in Fremont, CA this week. I just couldn’t hold it any more, and ended up taking a dump in the 3 rd floor Men’s room. This is the first time in maybe 20 years I’ve pinched a loaf in a public restroom. Ewww. I hate it.

Erm isn’t that what Quebec has always felt? And doesn’t Turdeau Jr. Himself call Canada a genocidal post-national state?
Canada being a piggybank has pretty much always been the point? Newfoundland joined Canada because they were bankrupt, the UK was bankrupt and Canada offered them Free Shit. Nova Scotia didn’t want to join Canada but free shit bought them off. PEI only joined Canada because they bankrupted themselves with railroads. Ontario only wanted Canada to free themselves of Quebec and to access the Indian lands in the West (Don’t tell the Indians that!). BC and Manitoba have similar stories, etc….
