Damn, that is straight out of William and Mary by Roald Dahl.
That Roald was some twisted fuck. If he’d lived long enough I’ll bet his search history would put both HM and SugarFree to shame.
No. Chance.
So I keep getting these YouTube ads from “truth” about how tobacco companies are targeting the poor, because in our neighborhoods tobacco retailers are closer to elementary schools than in right neighborhoods. Every time I want to scream, no you dumb years, poorer neighborhoods are more likely to have convince stores in then then richer ones. Tobacco companies don’t have direct retailers (that I’ve ever seen).
They’re playing the shit out of the same ads on Comedy Central. They’re stupid, simplistic, and full of flat out lies. Why lie about something as harmful as smoking?
I know, right? I don’t disagree that smoking is bad, but don’t use charged falsehoods to push your agenda, it only makes your position weaker.
I don’t disagree either – and I am a smoker. But goddamn I am sick of the bullshit they peddle – like the fake, CGI amputee from a few years back. You’d think they could find something more constructive to spend those billions on.
The fact they still have billions to spend is the pisser. Who started this non profit? How is it legal?
Big government in collusion with big tobacco. Win/win for them.
They can’t help it once they get that government boner, all truth is off the table.
They have that obnoxious one about targeting the black community here where the argument seems to be “black people, you shouldn’t smoke, because Evil Tobacco is ‘profiling’ the black community as big smokers.” It doesn’t strike me as very persuasive — “don’t smoke to spite Big Tobacco!”
It will work on a small percentage of black people who are super conscious of the white man trying to get them.
99% of people will be unaffected.

Venezuela mobs kick, burn thieves in lynching epidemic
Congratulations Venezuela, you’ve now reached the ‘dysfunctional African half-failed state’ stage.
STEVE SMITH THINK MORE THAN HALF. NOT SEE PEOPLE BURNED ALIVE ON STREETS OF NAIROBI.
You’ve got to get out of the major cities.
And I wouldn’t even call Kenya ‘half-failed’, more ‘barely functional’.
Good lord, LiveLeak is necessary and informative but too much of that shit will corrode your soul.
Didn’t even need to click play on that to get the point.
Fuck that shit! I don’t click links unless it’s about boobies. Watching that shit gives me “ankle-tingles” and not in the good way. Like if you’re falling from a great height and you know that you’ll never walk again.
Yeah, I’m not clicking that.
And I thought Kenya was one of the sort-of functional countries in Africa.
OK, STEVE SMITH GET GLIB (HA!). REALIZE AREAS NEAR SOMALIA (!) NOT QUITE CIVILIZATION ANYMORE. MAYBE STEVE SMITH SHOULD PLAN SAFARI?
Considering they’ll use albino bones as curative remedies I don’t think you’d be too safe over there. Powdered sasquatch genitalia would likely command an astronomical price.
I think I need to call The Hague because I may have just committed a war crime on rural Africa.

That is in line with my comment below. What was the name of the professor who wrote papers stating this is the natural order of things? He was in Venezuela during the Chavez times. He now teaches in an American University. I can’t remember the assholes name.
There is some karmic payback to Titor’s video. It looks like the guy with the match managed to catch himself on fire real bad. Not as bad as the poor bastards on the ground, but still. He may not want to survive, as bad as his fire was looking when he ran around that corner away from the execution.
Africa wins again.
I do think that a lot of the guys talking about vigilante justice, haven’t thought their fantasies all the way through.

When everyone is impoverished, it’s not surprising that to have such a strong reaction to thieves. Especially when the government does nothing but stuff their impoverishment.
So, I had a pretty shitty week. Unexpectedly had to have my cat put down after she just got a clean bill of health from the vet a month ago, then 2 days later found out that that at 5’11, 155 pounds, lifting dumbbells 5 days a week since I was 15, and eating what I thought was a pretty average diet, I’ve got high cholesterol (thanks grandma). What’s everybody drinking this evening?
Kool-aid
Also, sorry to hear about your cat. My parents put down the family cat a while back, and explaining that he’s gone hasn’t sunk in on our two year old.
I’m one of those people who gets overly emotionally invested in their pets, so it sucked. I just had her in for a checkup a month before and despite early-stage kidney disease, all her values were good. So wasn’t expecting to have to deal with that for a while. That’s definitely my last pet for a while.
That’s tough one. Cats are awesome pets. Have a drink and remember.
I’m so sorry. I’m very attached to my cats. My specialest one also died of kidney disease and it was abrupt and unexpected 🙁
If the kitties get old enough, they almost all seem to get kidney disease eventually. Lost my first childhood cat to it at 19 years. This one was an adoptee, so not sure on the exact age, but she’d have been around 10 if the previous owner’s timeline was right. She was just getting the elevated kidney values, but they responded well to a change to the prescription food. Ended up being a pulmonary thing of some kind. She was breathing shallowly and hunching up like cats do when they’re in distress, so I knew something was up. Doctor said she sounded really wheezy on the stethoscope, then the x-ray turned up a nasty white mass that could have been a tumor or fluid and a small heart profile. Either way, the prognosis was really poor even with a couple thousand bucks worth of more advanced imaging 60 miles away at the emergency clinic, and we didn’t want to traumatize her any further. Picture-perfect purebred Persian, and they tend to have more health issues unfortunately.
Aw 10, that is so young 🙁
My two are about 12 and they seem healthy for now. Just slower 🙂
We had to rid ourselves of our 20 year-old Burmese in May. I cried like an eight year-old and I’m pretty stoic. I still expect her to be lounging on the bed when I enter the master bedroom. sigh.
Yeah, based on the kidney numbers I was expecting to get at least another year out of her. Came as a surprise at that age, but then the previous owner was a little hinky, so I’m not sure if that’s even the right number.
I have wept like a baby at the death of all my cats. Only time I’ve cried in public other than my dad’s death since I have living memories. Like I said, I’m one of those people that gets really invested in them.
Egg Yolks.
If it was the very who told you that you have high cholesterol, you might get a second opinion…
Vet, not very.
And sorry about your cat.
Heh, any given vet is probably better than at least 50% of the doctors where I live.
Oddly, Evan Williams.
Which is funny, because I can’t stand whiskeys (To quote the tour guide, “All Bourbon is Whiskey, not all Whiskey is Bourbon”)
Long story – while in Louisville, I toured the the Evan Williams Experience, and their salesmanship was indeed very top notch, as despite having a long history of not liking whiskeys, I still bought some on my way out, including a multipack of mini bottles of different flavors.
I figured I’d try some since I did shell out for it.
I actually have a bottle sitting under the counter as we speak. For bottom shelf, Evan Williams is pretty good.
My personal tasting session has concluded that it definately depends on the bottle. The green label Evan Williams still evokes a “Good God this is Awful” response from me (my experience with Whiskey for decades). Some of the other types I picked up in Kentucky from the same company do not cause that.
I get the black label and I think it beats a lot of more expensive beverages, but then I also enjoy Beam and can tolerate just about any variety of rotgut, so I wouldn’t take my opinion as any way authoritative.
The reason I still have the green label bottle is because I can’t drink it. But I was going “Hrmm, I didn’t retch at the three bourbons at the tasting, and this bottle I brought back is okay, maybe my tastes have changed… *tries a splash* Nope!”
Nah, Evan Williams is just crap.
This coming from someone who used to drink Everclear straight and down 40’s of steel reserve.
I want to argue with you because at least one of these bottles was not entirely disagreeable… but then I remember the green label and I have to cede the point.
Evan Williams small batch is good and a great value.
Stone Tangerine IPA. Finally, somebody made it good.
That is good.
Buffalo Trace.
Sorry about Kitty.
Thanks. How’s the Buffalo Trace? I’ve seen it before but never sprung for it.
Very nice, and affordable.
Might have to check it out next time I get to a real liquor store.
Drank like 6 blues, on my second big ol’ white Russian.
And I thought I couldn’t drink anymore. HA!
Also, because I can’t edit: My cat died last week, I raised her from when she was an abandoned kitten and I was 12.
🙁 Sorry to hear that.
I was strangely unphased.
It was honestly a long time in coming, though I can still remember feeding her formula from a dropper and curling up for a nap on the tip of my boot.
Damn….RIP, Kitty.
She was 18, that seems decent for a stray cat abandoned by her mom.
18 years definitely isn’t too shabby. Good on you for giving her a nice life.
Thanks. I wasn’t always the best considering I was a teenager for some of those 18 years. Not tryin’ to steal your thunder, just saying, I know how it is to lose a pet after a long time together.
Lost my oldest at age 20 last year, she was also one I’d had since I was little and had raised from a tiny kitten. She had a stroke. It was less hard than the one I lost from kidney disease just because she was so old, even though her health was great we knew she was getting near her time. My other one I’d only had for 5 years and I didn’t know how old he was, so it was a big shock when the vet was like, “surprise, old age kidney shutdown.” But it’s always hard regardless. We’d gotten a kitten after the last one died, and she’d gotten very attached to the old queen. She took it worse than any of us humans, even.
When my eldest cat died at 19 we had a younger one as well that had been raised with him from a kitten, and even though the younger one antagonized the older one mercilessly all their lives, he actually took it really hard too. We were kind of surprised. The younger one died a year later to the day at 13 🙁 Another Persian. Liver cancer in that one.
Vodka. Always.
My kitties are getting up there and I am not looking forward to that shit.
My boys are 11 and 10 respectively and male cats don’t generally live as long as females. Ah well, cry, wipe, repeat. That Burmese was some sort of super cat, should have bred her and kept ALL the kittens!
Mine that also lived to 20 was a Siamese mix. I know Siamese and Burmese are somewhat close genetically—those breeds must be long-lived!
The science of high cholesterol (let alone the public perception of it) is not as solid as most people believe. I found the discussion about cholesterol in this book by Gary Taubes pretty useful. A few years ago I was informed of high cholesterol as well, I’m 5’11, 160 pounds. I take fish oil, that helps with the kind of cholesterol that’s actually bad according to Taubes.
I might just check that out. My HDL is actually good. Triglycerides normal. Only LDL is elevated. It’s pretty high though – 160something, I think it was. Doc told me there’s some limited evidence for red rice yeast supplements as well.
Oh, please. You’re not 5’11”.
Should I send you a scan of my DL?
Losing a pet sucks. I am sorry for your loss. When I lost my last dog I was devastated for awhile.
As to the cholesterol. I am not a doctor, but fuck cholesterol. I have half a mind it means nothing. Anecdotal story, I know a dude who ate Egglands Best eggs every morning and his cholesterol went down. It didn’t make sense, but I believe the story.
I am drinking tequila, soda and lime, but my ice maker is on the fritz and it is pissing me off. It doesn’t like it when it is over 90 here.
Reusable plastic ice cubes FTW. I haven’t used real ice in a couple decades.
I don’t think a diet high in cholesterol has any effect on the cholesterol in your blood.
Just like you can eat fatty foods and not be fat.
I don’t think a diet high in cholesterol has any effect on the cholesterol in your blood.
There’s pretty definitive clinical evidence of that now too. They eased up the restrictions on eggs for people with high cholesterol as a result, IIRC. You still gotta watch the saturated fats though.
My grandmother was skinny as a rail, never owned a car, and walked a good 3 or 4 miles every day. Had high cholesterol all her life. She and my mom had a falling out when I was a kid, so I don’t keep up with her anymore. Last I heard she was completely losing her marbles, but still clocking a couple miles a day with high cholesterol at 80 years old.
I’m not even convinced about the saturated fat part honestly. It seems the evidence part of dietary ‘science’ is kind of lacking.
My wife would call someone who is 80 young, especially for a woman. /justnursinghomestuff
It seems the evidence part of dietary ‘science’ is kind of lacking.
Definitely, and to a remarkable extent considering the advancements in other areas of medicine.
I’m not really convinced medicine on the whole is that great on evidence. Kind of a travesty considering the stakes.
I work in engineering and not everything we do is figured out all the way, but at least we have real data to back us up. I feel sorry for the frontline docs.
This is true. I typically eat 6 eggs with breakfast every day (yolks and all). I also eat a lot of shrimp, beef, and lamb. By conventional wisdom, my cholesterol should be off the charts, but it’s actually below average.
6 eggs is a lot for any breakfast, but yeah, I should have massive cholesterol numbers based on the orthodoxy thought, but I have low everything and a really nice ratio of hdl/ldl.
6 eggs? “Yo Rock, ho’ws ya doin?”
Hell yes, I drink two raw ones every morning with pepper and Tabasco. Freaking yummy.
I discovered some old (cruzan) blackstrap rum while cleaning out a cabinet.
Get some good ginger beer, and some good falernum. Make Dark and Stormys and Corn & Oils. Buy more Blackstrap. Repeat all summer.
It’s got nothing to do with your diet. Just get the meds and eat what you want.
Doc doesn’t even want to put me on meds yet at this stage, but yeah, I’ve got it coming to me genetically, so dietary changes alone might not do it. I’m not a foodie or anything, and I’ve been wanting to make some healthier dietary choices anyway, so I figure I might as well see how that goes first. I hate having to take meds every day.
I’m on vacation in NOLA. Several assorted beers (mostly abita), and earlier I had some type of mixed frozen drink with orange juice and everclear.

Girlfriend whose texts urged suicide guilty of manslaughter
Crazy, evil bitch, but that isn’t manslaughter.
I could see some sort of incitement charge. They get people for other speech advocating violence, and I’m not necessarily against that.
That’s exactly what I thought. They over charged and got lucky that the Judge didn’t acquit.
You’re supposed to say I’m not a real libertarian for not defending free speech 100%. This place is really going downhill.
Fuck off slaver.
Is that better?
Now I feel welcome.

Guess who actually had a halfway decent op ed in the New York Times about it?
Holy fuck. He made the big time.
I’m not clever/sober enough to make a joke at his expense regarding his writing style.
I’m still waiting for someone who is smarter than me to make that Robby Soave Op-Ed Generator already. I mean, if you can make one for Thomas Friedman Robby would only be slightly easier.
To be sure.
To be sure, it is difficult to construct a clever rejoinder while inebriated.
Whats worse is this si the first time I’ve been (really) drunk in a long time. So I’m not handling it quite like I used to. Pretty sure I was more clever before >.>;
To be sure.
Fuck.
To be sure I was more clever before. Goddamn.
Easy one for him. Fits his template perfectly. “A is bad, but …”.
To be sure.
That is what make sit even more painful that I couldn’t come up with one. The shame.
What? I take it Robby still can’t change a tire. I suppose what he stated could happen, but there are a few steps missing there.
It is good to know a less than mediocre writer can make it to the NYT though. It will give hope to the other less than mediocre writers out there.
After reading Robby I seriously thought I too could be a writer.
I did win a city-wide contest once for my writing, but I’m pretty sure I’m terrible and they were already giving out consolation prizes back then.
This is how I picture Fruit Sushi learning to change a tire.
Moving up in the world, to be sure.
Comments will give you… well, it’s the NYT commentariat. ‘Nuff said.
Why did I look?
I’m really irritated about it so I’m going to post it again – WTF!
They better stomp some dicks for this one. Too many watchstanders had to screw up for this to happen.

I love the beer Edmund Fitzgerald.

STEVE SMITH LIKE NITE LINKS BEST. SLEEPING PEOPLE EASIER TO RAPE.
The other day I took Buzzfeed’s “How Privileged Are You?” Quiz. I think the creators of said quiz would probably demand a do-over if they saw my results:
I’m white, but I grew up in an 80% “minority” town. So all the questions about “Have you ever been the only person of your race in the room?” and so forth do apply to me, though I’m sure the quiz maker would shriek that they don’t. There were a lot of awkward moments in school and at work where I’d be the only white one in the room and people would make cracks. I still remember at my last job in that town when all my coworkers were Mexican but half of them were paler than me, and trying hard to bite my tongue to keep from telling them to look in the mirror when they’d make digs about “whitey over there.”
This quiz says basically all there is to know about identity politics.
Funny. I have a similar story, but with majority black neighborhood and school. I’m not going to give buzzfeed clicks to find out how their broken quiz rates this white conservative…
I’ve on several occasions in only the last couple of weeks, sat in a room where I’m the only member of my race. And I’m white. Right now I’m sitting in a room where I’m the only member of my race, considering that dumbshit progs consider anyone of European ancestry not living in the USA or parts of Western Europe be be ‘people of color’. A pox on these retards.
Wouldn’t “I have never been the only person of my race in a room” imply
that you’ve never been alone in a room? What’s the quorum here?
Ask me sometime about my friend who grew up as a white person on the indian reservation.
That’s some of the dumbest fucking shit I have ever seen.
Aye.
As someone who grew up in a city that was 2nd poorest int he country and- at least in public school – was majority black, I can relate strongly.
I’m starting to come around to Bill Whittle’s idea that it becomes mandatory that we take everyone at the age of 15 or 16 and leave them in the woods for a couple days to survive on their own. Just to get this whiny motherfuckers to shut the hell up. Maybe make it required every ten years until age 50, because old people are going to complain anyway.
Hell, they might even go shoot people if they don’t get enough free stuff.
I honestly think race relations are worse now than 30 years ago when I was in HS. I had a similar experience, majority black school but everyone got along and it was NO BIG DEAL. Now it’s all “intersectionality” and “appropriation” oh god fuck that shit
I feel like yesterday’s Thicc Thursday was the height of race relations.
/miscegenist (/making up words?)
Them boys is misceginated! They ain’t even old timey!
Hot damn, its them soggy bottom boys!
[I saw that movie for the first time this year. It is really good. Also I love me some Greek mythology. And bluegrass.]
That’s the point. Race relations aren’t supposed to get better. It fucks up the moolah train.
Way worse than the 80’s.
Yes. Can you imagine a leading Democrat politician doing a Sister Souljah today?
41. Same not privileged, thanks to usual childhood teasing and paying my own way out of high school. Laughable.
Also got 41. White. Male. But I didn’t have a trust fund and I’ve got normal human insecurities. Seriously, those questions…
I felt macroaggressed by the assumptions about sexuality, religion, personal finance, and that bartender, waiter, barista, or salesperson are least privileged jobs. They need to check themselves.
Heh. 19! Super-duper privileged!
I have it on good authority that libertarians are only rich white kids, so this can’t be true.
53! Woo-hooo!
Side-link on the Towering Inferno story. Never let it be said the Daily Mail doesn’t offer something for the rest of us OH GOD IT’S JONAH HILL wtf throws up
“Daily Fail”
Yeah, clearly they farmed that out to one of their SheMail writers who hasn’t a clue what an attractive man might look like.
ROFL.
I’m not even gay, but come on, Jonah Hill? Jesus guys.
OK, he’s not the bloated mess he was a few years ago but the flowery prose doesn’t match the pictures that is for sure.
I always imagine him from his Superbad days.
You can re-hydrate with beer, right?
Me reading this coment: … mmm, okay… sounds promising… maybe I should go see who this is, some rugby player I don’t know maybe? … OH MY GOD WHAT?
I don’t care if that dude had a face, body, and personality transplant. Those words are still lies.
I just realized your name means Manhattan beach /lurker.
Isn’t that what professor what’s his face was arguing that is what Venezuela needed? That was one of the most righteous things going on in the early Chavista times he said? What was that asshats name? He wrote a glowing Eulogy for Castro, or Chavez, or some other communist asshole.
that doesn’t narrow it down a whole lot in terms of professors…
I am drawing a big blank on the dude and it is pissing me off. He made it into the news some months ago. About a eulogy or a Trump statement? About? I can’t remember. There where discussions about the fuck, and it turned out he was a professor in Caracas during the Chavista times and his old papers were dug up. He is a total shitbag teaching in a prominent university in the states now. Gilmore, or Suthen would remember the fuckers name. I blame my lack of memory on white wine, tequila, and lack of ice. And climate change for causing the lack of ice.
All this stuff about Venezuela reminds me of a woman I knew on a sire called Nationstates (I figure some of you may know it?) She gtfo of Venezuela a few years before anyone on the outside could tell shit was gonna hit the fan. She wasn’t particularly right-wing either.
Super hottie too, newscaster or something, iirc.
It narrows it down to one of two Prime Ministers that share a surname.
Speaking of sasquatch – I suppose Jesse and co might be into this one – Bigfoot vs. D.B. Cooper.
Ok. I have several quick takes from that, admittedly did not watch the entire video.
1. These dudes do not have girl friends, wives, or other forms of female significant others.
2. I didn’t see bigfoot.
3. I didn’t see any black cougars.
LAME!
1. These dudes do not have girl friends, wives, or other forms of female significant others.
Don’t you talk shit about Jessi.
It’s true that there really is someone for everyone. I have to say that my idea of a significant other is not someone who laughs at fart videos, but that’s all covered in the NAP, right?
Rich Evans said it best.
He definitely has a point there. About the only way today that you cannot get laid, is to decide to be a SJW. And then your only fun becomes trying to punish everyone else, who are getting laid.
I’m still shocked at how easy it is to actually get some women.
At closing time my brother-in-law was hawking me like an old couch on clearance and I still had a few takers.
Shit, dude, If you live in a metro area… I mean when I moved to the Baltimore/DC area and started the internet dating thing, I was like blown away by the opportunities. I literally could not believe that I had so many opportunities with so many not at all bad women. Then I wound up marrying someone from another country who I met by total accident on a web site that had nothing to do with dating. Life is a strange journey.
Another reason forced marriage? How many is that now? 3? 4?
I do, although some people in NYC think we have cows in the city here.
Heh. My wife is a foreigner too.
And super anti-illegal immigrant/fundy muslim (despite her best friend being a Muslim), and libertarian-ish just for icing on the cake.
Shes the ultimate in shitlords.
“And super anti-illegal immigrant/fundy muslim (despite her best friend being a Muslim), and libertarian-ish just for icing on the cake.”
So that’s more common that I thought. My wife has lost most of her FB friends because of her new political views. I told her ‘when you lose FB friends, that’s how you know you’re dong it right’.
She was recently called a ‘white apologist’ by some shit head on FB, so she is well on her way. (I think it was something about cultural appropriation, which is apparently spreading to the wealthy people in third world countries).
No real loss there. I know lots of 1st and 2nd gen people who are not terminally retarded.
AND WHOLE TIME WONDERING WHAT HIKER NEED PARACHUTE FOR. NOT HINDERANCE MIND YOU
So here I am up late again on the EC. Last nite was waiting up on wifey to return from her trip. I can’t sleep when she’s flying, I just get too preoccupied with checking on her. Can’t sleep when I’m flying either. Now just chillin with some more top shelf rum wifey brought me back. She’s sleeping, I’m bored, but happy and comfortably numb.
Afraid of a crash or a Mile High Club incident?
You really don’t have anyone close who flies a lot? Or maybe I’m just too paranoid, I don’t know. I do know quite a few people who fly thousands of miles more than the wife and I do each year and they seem completely immune from any worries about it. Might just be me, but I always worry about loved ones when they fly.
But it is so safe, per statistics. You should probably be more worried when she is driving. Not sure that really helps, but I think it is true.
Well, I am. Especially since we live near Baltimore. Driving here is extremely dangerous on the beltway and interstates. Difference is, is that if anything happens at 30,000 feet and 600 miles an hour, it’s a death sentence. Whereas a car accident, which of course happen more often, with a newer safe vehicle, you are much less likely to even get seriously injured.
Yeah, but there are just so many fewer incidences for aircraft it is still safer.
I live in a pretty chill area (and this is from someone who has been to about 47 different states) yet there are still so many idiot drivers, it is a fucking disaster out there on the roads and I’m sure it is worse in most of the bigger cities.
She’ll be fine.:)
Well, she is fine, she’s sleeping on the sofa right now. Doesn’t keep me from worrying when she’s flying. Or anyone else in the family.
Yeah, I know how you feel. I do the same thing as you with respect to airplane turbulence. I’m not religious, but I often cross myself when flying. It is just completely irrational is all.
Or it could be 500 feet, and some asshole with an RPG decides to pop one at you…
*shudders*
Don’t fly over Ukraine might be a good idea.
Middle of the night over the north atlantic – “I know it’s aerodynamic forces holding the plane up, but it just seems so surreal as if nothing is holding the plane up and we shouldn’t be here. How did this become an everyday event*?”
*(not for me, for flights between Heathrow and JFK)
I have a love/hate thing with flying. Intellectually I know it’s safe but then I hit turbulence and that thinking goes out the window.
Yes, it’s this for me too. I always set as close to the front of the plane as I can, not being able to afford first class all of the time like some people can, to avoid that as much as possible. But I have been in some severe turbulence before. One time I was flying, I can’t remember where now, but we were somewhere close to over Memphis TN. I was in the restroom and for about 10 minutes, I could not even stand up to leave and was holding on to the handicapped bars to keep from getting thrown against the wall or ceiling. Then there was one time flying to Brazil when the attendants actually told us to strap in because it’s not their fault if we hit the ceiling. WTF? Also had a very rough landing in Indy one time after a pretty calm flight that literally scared the fucking shit out of everyone because of the severe turbulence. I mean people were screaming and crying.
Was just reading a link about it being caused largely by pilots riding the jet stream to save gas. Thanks, I guess.
Um…no
FDA, you want to elaborate on that? Thanks.
There is no airline pilot in the world that will tolerate turbulence to save gas. They get into it, they immediately attempt to find smoother air, if able.
Nobody stays in turbulence if they can avoid it. Not that it’s particularly dangerous, it’s just uncomfortable.
It doesn’t happen in the jet stream, but when the enter/exit it.
Oh, ok, I understand. Not sure that’s what you were saying, but it makes perfect sense. I was flying from Balmer to Miami one time and we actually flew a hundred miles or so off the coast to avoid the really bad turbulence we were in. and the pilot was constantly updating the passengers about it. The severe turbulence I’ve experienced several times is of types I understand are not so avoidable and in no way was I blaming the pilots for any of it. The one time I was flying to Brazil, they said the plane just suddenly fell like 50 or 100 ft in altitude and this was in completely clear weather conditions. I forget what they called it, but that shit was terrifying.
Clear Air Turbulence (CAT)
Sometimes. Not always. But there are tons of reasons for turbulence. It’s usually weather.
Ruh roh! From wiki:
Ha! I just read that too. Of course, that’s where I stopped reading.
They can’t tell me the weather for tomorrow but doubling CO2 is going to cause a 149% increase in severe CAT over the Atlantic. Not 148. Not 150. But 149%.
SCIENCE!
And while you’re teeth are being rattled by all that climate change turbulence, your pilot will be busy trying to dodge flying boulders that could bring your plane down. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.
Of course!
Something something about non-round numbers seem more believable and accurate-ey.
Your* teeth, dammit. Why you no edit button glibertarians?
I’ve only flown twice, but it was definitely a kind of surreal feeling the first time.
I don’t worry about the flight itself. Now, TSA groping them… At our age, I’m way more worried about odd spots on the skin and lumps.
Is it wrong to enjoy the groping? I like to think I’m enjoying it to spite them, but then I also get erections when I go to the doctor’s office.
You’re in luck. New protocol is with extra groping.
Grope me? Knock yourself out. Grope my wife or daughter? Not gonna do anything violent right then (can’t help if I’m in jail), but I will get my payback.
Yeah, I have a problem there as well, but I don’t think I have the balls or skills to really do something about it.
TSA called my wife aside one time because the metal snaps on the corset like thing she was wearing under her clothes set off the detector. I told her not to wear it, but she didn’t listen. So one of the fembot TSA tards called her aside to take a look. She told me that she just took her shirt off, unbuttoned and said ‘here, you want see more?’, LOL, I guess that satiated lesbo perv enough and she let her get dressed and rejoin us.
My wife wears a bangle she can’t take off w/o lubrication- on our last international trip we had some EU safety people ask to cut it off… because they couldn’t tell it isn’t a bomb?? I don’t even fucking know man,
Security theater is the saddest thing I think I’ve seen the state do. It is so transparent once you think about it.
Airport security is an incredible waste of peoples time and of taxpayer dollars. You want to protect Americans? You know the fuck who you’re looking for, do your damn job and stop trying to feel people up, you sick fucking perv losers.
Tell them your wife is a xer and requires another xer to grope her. And then say you are a xe and feel violated and they will be hearing form your lawyer.
I like the idea that I’m forcing a government lackey to grab my junk. Probably a straight one.

I’ve never had an issue with TSA. However, the immigration pricks I hate. ‘Why did you go there?’ Fuck you cunts, because FYTW. I fight with them every time I come back TO MY OWN FUCKING COUNTRY unless I’m with someone else.
The TSA are generally just normal people getting a bad paycheck. However, I was in a line in LAX terminal 4 and the guy doing the, “take your laptops out of your bag, put it in the tray, remove everything from your pockets……….” was so dramatic about it it was like he was practicing for a read for a movie script or some stupidity. I have never wanted to shoot someone in the face more, and I have stood face to face with people who said they were going to kill me. There where ways out of a face to face death threat. There are no ways out of a TSA line with an asshole who thinks he has an acting career beyond the TSA.
I think I know that guy. At least, I’ve been in his line.
Just for you straffinrun. Heard it today on the radio and started laughing. It’s still the 16th is ‘murica.
I have no idea why that’s for me, unless you’re referring to my Vanilla Ice fetish.
Well shit, works for me. Supposed to be Tony! Toni! Toné!’s Anniversary.
Ah. Thanks.
For all my woman-hating glibs: I’d Rather Fuck You
So Jeronimo Yanez should at least have been convicted of some kind of reckless endangerment or reckless indifference or “shithead shouldn’t ever have bee a LEO. But in classic DA form, over-charge and you get no conviction. I’m glad I am not currently in a band because I could have been playing a show at The Turf Club in St. Paul tonight. And I would never get back to Minneapolis because protesters are blocking 94 and 35W.
Is it just me, or are a disproportionate number of the people involved in these high-profile shootings of black people hispanic?
Lackadaisical, I started writing a bunch of shit, but the fact is I’m old and tired and drunk and safely ensconced in my tiny apartment in south Minneapolis. We can visit this later? Right.
Sure. I’m just making an asinine observation based on limited numbers of media spotlights, but I’m always willing to hear people out.
Unless they like Evan Williams. Fuck those people.

Just for that I’m going to go buy a handle of Old Crow and then post on here drunk.

I realize that most of the commentariat is younger than meself but what is up with the rap and huge asses? The music is terrible and the chicks are freakish.
That rap is almost as old as I am. It is practically classical music.

You should switch your picture to the Homer version of ’90’s cool. Cross your arms knowingly, nod your head and some sutchwatch. The peons eat that shit for breakfast.
The only Homer I know about sang the Illiad bra.

Couple lies to newspaper, newspaper prints it.
Not even an expert interview to say “This is impossible; don’t try to do this,” or a joke at their expense or something.
I’m not even mad. The more the merrier.
I’m hoping this means we don’t need to fund food stamps or w/e they’re calling it now.
Hey NY Post, I’ve got a bridge to sell you…

Now I’m getting triggered.
No worries, Son. They’ll be the first ones up against the wall.
I keep telling myself that, but it isn’t completely comforting. Damned individualist ethos.
Real socialism. Don’t judge it by what it aspires to be, but by the real world results associated with attempting to implement it. Good read.
” Don’t judge it by what it aspires to be, but by the real world results associated with attempting to implement it”
Kind of obvious I thought, but based on the number of ‘state capitalism’ posts regarding Venezuela, maybe not obvious.

The battle between those who want to take away liberty and those who want to keep it will never end. We just have to find new ways of saying, “Fuck off, slaver.”
LAND OF LINCOLN FINANCES STINKIN’
I may not understand everything fully, but I don’t think that even bankruptcy would help the state. The largest part of their financial problem is due to pensions, and they are constitutionally obligated to pay them in full (no matter how badly the unions and Madigan colluded to fuck over the taxpayers).
The only thing I see happening from this is contractors not getting paid, while the retiree bureaucrats still live rich off of the suckers (oops, citizenry).
I have a friend from Chicago, who since has moved out west, but is worried because Illinois has thought about introducing a “Retroactive Tax” for people who have lived in Illinois because they owe the state for all the help they gave them. Of course, this is an overreach, so I doubt it will happen.
Sounds kind of double-jeopardy-ish to me.
I doubt it would stand up to any constitutional scrutiny.
Several states tax nonresidents who work for instate companies regardless of their actual location: NY, PA, DE, NJ, NE. Unfortunately the SC has declined to hear challenges and lower courts have upheld them.
The bullshit NY rationale is that it’s for the convenience of the employee and there’s no business necessity for the work to be performed out of state. The obvious if I were forced to relocate to NY, I’d quit first so it is a business necessity for me to be employed where I am obviously is not accepted. Neither are the ‘go fuck yourselves’ and ‘you want the money?, molon labe assholes’ responses.
Many years ago, my sister worked a summer job up here in the Catskills doing clerical work for a summer camp run by one of the NYC Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs, the sort of camp that sent underprivileged children up north to get some fresh air for a couple of weeks in the summer. They consistently tried to take New York City income tax out of the paycheck, even though the job was two hours away from the city and my sister never stepped foot in the city.
What is everyone’s opinion on amaretto?
I rather enjoy it. Reminds me of Christmas when mother would deign to share her marzipan with us kiddos.
Drank it once when I was already shit-faced and 16 years old. Thumbs up, I guess?
As a mixer, it has its uses.
