That title sounded better in my head. Big thanks to all the Glibs who picked up the slack and ran with them so our resident Rainmen didn’t start keening at work/family gatherings last week. I have been walking around not reading much news and the world seems like a pretty good place, other than the free fake Christmas tree I had in the garage not working. Now I have to get a real one (I love you, honey!). Also, my kids and I do NOT need to be around each other all day for five days at a time.

I’m just going to be honest — I feel a little sour grapes about Bitcoin. My problem with not putting my 401(k) in Bitcoins at $2500 or $5000 or $9000 (or $250 back in the day) is that I have no sense of what a Bitcoin should be worth in dollars.
US home new sales have hit a 10 year high. Given my impeccable timing of the housing market, since I bought a house last year, we are almost certainly at a peak and headed for a crash.

OT: What’s your policy on your kids looking at porn? I don’t have kids, but I never really understood the big freakout that mothers have about boys looking at porn. I can’t imagine my rule being anything other than “don’t let your mother find it (because it upsets her), don’t let me find it (because that’s just weird) and if there’s any type of porn that is illegal, you’re banned from the computer (along with any other punishments I might see fit).“
As long a it isn’t illegal stuff, they seem an appropriate age, and the stupid little shits don’t infect the computer by going to dodgy sites, meh. Puberty sucks, let the little bastards get their rocks off without knocking some one up.

Rape accusation in 3…2…1
This is what I was talking about in the last article about how people obsessed with race, gender, etc, to this extent, will lose their ability to actually function in society and become deranged. That is weapons grade stupidity right there, this person should absolutely not be allowed to ‘care’ for other human beings, she shouldn’t even be allowed to care for the wolves she mentioned.
I replied (admittedly late) to your comment there. Here’s the thing I’ll point out – I don’t think these people are nearly as representative of our society as they like to think. A small segment of our society, the people who comment on WaPo, think that way. But, that’s an incredibly small portion of society. I’m willing to bet that, even in their little bubble, at least half of the neighborhood men roll their eyes at the husband and make jokes where he’s the punchline (either that or he’s having sex with the housewife down the block while elfspear is at work). I’m willing to bet that, when junior hits school, his feminism is going to go over like a lead balloon.
They have a big megaphone. The purveyors of popular culture like to pretend that this is the ideal. The truth is it’s only the ideal for their little circle jerk.
I had a great conversation with a friend of mine this weekend about what’s happening on university campuses. He’s a professor of architecture and he explained that it really is a vocal and loud minority. He has no idea what will happen to these students but the vast majority of the silent majority are definitely tired of the shtick and was told the same by his colleagues across the continent. He also told the story, as an example, of when there were eight of them at the table discussing a topic for work and the loud lefty was so over bearing they all went along with his plan they knew would fail. It’s how it is. It’s almost psychological where the real smart people in the room are too stunned nor do have the energy to put up a fight because they know the other side will double down and make it messier.
He also told me there are movements on campuses in Canada where the majority want to separate from parts of campuses where the left has taken over and acting like squatters – which is an interesting phenomena.
I think part of it is that the left and the right differ on their views of college and protests. Conservatives don’t see college as a way of advancing a particular cause, they mostly see it as a way to either increase their earning potential after graduation, or to engage in scholarly pursuits for the more intellectually minded. So for them, the most important thing is to keep their heads, down, study, and get their diplomas. While there are some Campus conservative groups and students for Jesus type groups, most of the members probably see the organizations as primarily social groups, with maybe a small minority looking to go into politics after graduation and using them as a networking tool.
I think it is similar to why the Tea Party has been fairly successful, yet you rarely see Tea Party marches with the same regularity as marches for various leftwing causes. It isn’t that the Tea Party supporters gave up, it is because most of the supporters realized that while it might have given them a temporary rush, marching around with signs did very little to advance their agenda, so they started organizing more on lobbying and knocking on doors. So now there is an army of people out there with a hell of a lot more political clout then all the pink pussy hat brigade.
It’s an important point. The unhinged, race-obsessed psychos on the left are as few, and as unrepresentative, as the race-obsessed psychos on the right. The ones on the left, however, are able to push their agendas on public policies, while the ones on the right have been effectively neutered over the past sixty years.
Sure, here’s the deal. Most of the people going along with this are only signalers. Signaling is easy, there is no commitment, zero effort required. But the large majority of the signalers are just not that into it. What they really care about is what everyone else cares about, their self, their families, and their closest friends. But while that’s true, the left are paying a very large share of attention to that small minority and Democrats are making it a very large portion of their platform. This can lead to that small screeching minority getting very over inflated portion of power, over the media and academia, which they already have, and of government. The amount of damage they could do to society is huge, just think of what great tragedy a small band of true blue socialist bleevers in the Bolshevik revolution and the National Socialist party in Germany inflicted upon the world. Do not underestimate these people, they are truly insane.
The amount of damage they could do to society is huge…Do not underestimate these people, they are truly insane.
I do agree with you. But, their whole agenda falls apart if the social signalers abandon them. That’s why they go to such lengths to enforce their ideological conformity. Using your examples of the Nazis and the Bolsheviks, what would have happened if the Germans in 1932 or the Russians in 1916 had come to see either as the pathetic losers they were? They need to maintain the illusion of dominance. If they lose that illusion,, then they’re revealed, not as some network of monsters who can destroy everything in their path, but as Trigglypoof, stomping her feet because Daddy didn’t love her enough.
And the way you do that is through ridicule. Let the world see the Trigglypoof that lies at the heart of the destroyer. Make the social signalers more afraid of being laughed at as pathetic than cursed at as “regressive”. Show that the black campus radicals aren’t the righteous voice of the oppressed, but cosplaying suburban kids. Laugh that this lady’s “enlightened stay-at-home husband” is probably fucking the housewife down the block that he knows from his Pilates class. That’s one thing that Donald Trump and the 4channers got that I’ll admit I missed.
I have learned to ignore anyone who uses the term “folks” as anything but a reference to their parents.

No one would say taunting a wolf with a piece of meat is a good or safe idea. But again, these people are too stupid to realize the stupidity of their arguments.
These are the same people that in the same breath say a) The police are a corrupt, racist institution that blindly guns down minorities, and b) The police are the only people that should own guns. Logical consistency is not their forte.

Comcast hints at plan for paid fast lanes after net neutrality repeal
“While the company still says it won’t block or throttle Internet content, it has dropped its promise about not instituting paid prioritization.
Instead, Comcast now vaguely says that it won’t “discriminate against lawful content” or impose “anti-competitive paid prioritization.” The change in wording suggests that Comcast may offer paid fast lanes to websites or other online services, such as video streaming providers, after Pai’s FCC eliminates the net neutrality rules next month.”
What a click bait fear mongering piece of shit article. How dare Comcast offer options to customers! The comments section is full of derp.
Um… if I could get a gamer/streamer package that offers 500 mbps on certain ports and 10mbps on html for the same or less than I am paying now I would jump on it. I know this sounds hypocritical coming from me but lets see what they offer before completely freaking out.
Wait, so Comcast says it might allocate more bandwidth to companies that pay for it?
TO THE BARRICADES, COMRADES!!!
A “progressive” I know has assured me that this whole situation is Comcast’s fault because “they’re too cheap to build out their network to accommodate more bandwidth, so we’re stuck with slow Internet, unlike other countries”.
Where is the fucking money to build out capability coming from? Investors won’t invest unless they can make a profit. maybe that is why the morons insist government should do this and own the Internets, because they think that way rich assholes will be robbed at gunpoint to pay for crappy service. When said service not only sucks but allows government o filter content, oh, like say the Chinese do, they will be living in paradise, because only woke news/content will magically happen.

NYT is on the gentrification beat
Tay Anderson, a 19-year-old who had recently run for a seat on the Denver school board, organized a rally and a boycott of the cafe. On Saturday, the sidewalk outside the shop was crowded with protesters, clustering in the autumn sun, some with small children perched on their shoulders. Men and women carried posters: “Gentrification = Urban Colonialism” “Black Lives Matter. White Coffee Doesn’t.” “Eat the Rich.”
David Griego, 40, a tow-truck driver, said he used to have his own place, but he had to give it up and move into his mother’s basement after the rent more than doubled. He held up a placard depicting a crying child with the words, “Gentrification is no joke.”
“This is not about a sign,” Lisa Calderón, co-chairwoman of the Colorado Latino Forum, told the crowd. “This is not about the ignorant owners. The sign is symbolic of what is going on with our neighborhood.”
Denver coffee shop puts up flippant sign, world spins out of orbit.
*previously noted, but- Gentrification = Urban Colonialism ? come on.
LA Times had something equally as stupid. It’s almost like they’re in cahoots. Almost.
I never thought I would see the day when people would protest in favor of continuing to live in a slum.
Blanket opposition to gentrification is nonsensical ‘feelz’. But, most gentrification is created by government policy. In Chicago, for instance, the City financially underwrites the building of ‘artist’ lofts (if your lifestyle is subsidized by government than you are not an artist- you are a propagandist) in poor communities in order to encourage white kids to move in. That seems like government choosing winners and losers.
Ignoring that high earning residents (disproportionately white people) will initially be run out of town by absurd, punitive tax structures and regulations (see: Detroit).
Welfare for rich people is even more egregious than welfare for poor people
Agreed. If only there were a way for the government to not get involved in the first place…. silly me, they can’t not get involved!

It does. Which spells gloom and doom for us all, somehow.
It’s stupid bordering on deliberate auto-lobotomy that people still don’t understand a fundamental truth about market economies: we all take for granted infrastructure and technology that five years ago was accessible only to the wealthy. You want the sort of fast-lane internet that you think should be universal? Well, bucko, you’d better hope firms are willing to invest in them and customers are willing to pay for them.

Also- from that NYT article:
A thousand families a month are moving to Denver these days, and the exploding demand for housing has pushed up rents and property values. The median price of a single-family home has doubled in the last five years, to about $450,000. That price is beyond the reach of about half the city’s residents, according to researchers at Harvard University.
Just wait ’til Amazon invades.
This is just a crazy thought, but… how about building more homes?
I was there about a month ago. It looks like they were building a huge amount of new apartments and condos by the train station.
Do not want.
That’s why I was able to sell my house for such a great profit when I moved to the Springs. No complaints.
When I sold my house in the Springs it was to CA=>Denver transplants that offered above the listing price. This is normal for them.
The only thing that comes to mind when I hear about home prices outside of NYC or SF is “how affordable.”

That is (among other things) what this Nelson character doesn’t seem to grasp. He seems to believe that one carries a firearm to go looking for trouble.
I was once asked by a NPS Law enforcement ranger who didn’t like my carrying a firearm in his national park “why are you carrying that, do you feel unsafe”
My answer, which seemed to puzzle him was “If I felt this place was unsafe, I wouldn’t be here”
Incidentally Mr NPS Law Enforcement Officer was grossly misinformed about the laws in Wyoming. He tried to tell me that you needed a permit to OC.
I was just listening to the local FM Sports Talk radio station on the way home from work and Santana Moss was on talking about the 10th anniversary of Sean Taylor’s murder. Santana made the point that he felt that one of the reasons Sean was killed was because the media painted a picture of Taylor as a thug and bully, so when he had a dispute with some people who stole from him, he had his gun rights taken away, and as such, was unable to defend himself when criminals invaded his home to rob him. Santana specifically stated that he carried guns to protect his property and his life. I was almost cheering in the car, because the regular host was on vacation and 2 lefty journos were sitting in his stead and I could tell they were cringing.

Last night, multiple posters suggested I submit an article here. How exactly does the formatting for submissions work?
Normally when I write a post for my blog, I write it in more or less raw HTML for the bold, links, and whatnot, saved as a .txt file, but I have no idea what would be easiest for the Glibs editors to work with if I do submit something and they deign to use it. I’m on Linux, so if you want something other then .txt it would have to be Open Office.
That’s would work out fine, Ted. And any images would like to include should be sent as separate files with clear indications of where they go in the text.
The Editors can work with pretty much any format you want to submit. Hit the Leads/Submissions button at the top of the page and give them a summary of your proposed article. They will get back to you with details!

Every time I am informed (ie bleated at) about the “strength” of white nationalist movment in America, all I can think about is how sad and weak they are and how little clout they actually wield in American society.
Take Charlotesville for example: all of that money spent to fly in neo-nazi morons from all over the country and they can’t break 500 people at the march? Frankly it’s not scarey, it’s laughable.
500 nutjobs < 330 million US residents? Yeah, hardly living in the Weimar Republic lol
You must be a Nazi.
Yeah, I have been experiencing some serious not-buyer’s remorse too. But I figure that any bitcoins I would have bought would have wound up stolen anyway.
Keep them on a thumb drive.
Can you do that? Do they work like that?
So despite being Asian, my technology competence is ranked slightly lower than “grandma“. As such, I don’t understand Bitcoins or any of these digital currencies.
What IS the unit of currency? If you showed me a Bitcoin, what would it look like?
Who or what generates these units, and how is it determined how many of them will be produced?
How do people come into possession of these units, and what does the producing entity get in exchange?
Is it conceivable that someone could counterfeit these currencies?
How about an Article?
Some one knows about it, I’d Like to know more as well
What IS the unit of currency? If you showed me a Bitcoin, what would it look like?
The unit is a “Bitcoin”. It looks like most currency these days – it is digital, not in a tangible form.
Who or what generates these units, and how is it determined how many of them will be produced?
Not sure, but there is a cap on the number of Bitcoins that can be generated.
How do people come into possession of these units, and what does the producing entity get in exchange?
You buy them with other currencies, and the entity you buy them from gets the money. Much like any currency, the entity you buy them from is not the producer.
Is it conceivable that someone could counterfeit these currencies?
Bitcoin is (much?) harder to counterfeit than paper currency.
Bitcoin is (much?) harder to counterfeit than paper currency.
At least until somebody breaks SHA-256, which probably won’t happen in the next couple of decades, or unless some malicious actor manages to modify the code of at least 50% of Bitcoin users.
“You buy them with other currencies, and the entity you buy them from gets the money. Much like any currency, the entity you buy them from is not the producer.”
You can also mine them. From what I’ve heard, that is becoming more difficult all of the time and requires more computing power as many people have attempted to build their self a super duper mining rig and hit the jackpot.
Bitcoin is also not as stable as risk as money in the bank as large quantities have been known to just vanish and you will have virtually zero recourse to get it back if that happens to you. Banks and governments also hate it of course, so there is even more risk in that regard.
It appears Rand will vote yes.

I’m starting to think I might not be worthy of all these gifts he’s bestowed upon us since the election.
That’s hilarious. I love that CNN decided to also re-post all his tweets mocking Warren for being a fake Indian, as if that is going to hurt Trump and help Warren.
The following sentence came from a straight news article, not an opinion piece:
“Trump has routinely given his political opponents nicknames, but the slight against Warren is one of his most culturally insensitive.”
Lieawatha big heap triggered.
Orange man speak em with forked tongue.
But Lizzy’s bullshit claim of being Cherokee isn’t culturally insensitive?
“Sanders then targeted Warren, saying that “the most offensive thing” was Warren claiming to be Native American.
“I think Sen. Warren was very offensive when she lied about something specifically to advance her career, and I don’t understand why no one is asking about that question and why that isn’t constantly covered,” Sanders said.”
Bingo.
“Conservatives have previously criticized Warren for claiming that she is part Native American, and the senator’s heritage became an issue during her Senate campaigns.”
Anyone with a Shaggy level IQ should have criticized it regardless of ideology.
“I am very proud of my heritage,” Warren told NPR in 2012. “These are my family stories. This is what my brothers and I were told by my mom and my dad, my mammaw and my pappaw. This is our lives. And I’m very proud of it.”
She’s soooo full of shith!
I don’t even like to read stories about anything involving Bitcoin. Procrastination is the only reason I don’t own a million dollar Bitcoin right now. Stupid Archie, real stupid

Hey now, lets keep it to respectable levels of decorum, Senator.
“This is Hillary’s problem right now: She doesn’t have anything to do.”
GOOD. Hillary’s problem is my non-problem.
Too bad John doesn’t have than same problem.
No, no. She should be gearing up for another presidential run! Really getting herself out there, maybe trying to reinvent her image with all those inbred racist hick morons in flyover country. Hilary for presidential candidate, 2020!
I’m just going to be honest — I feel a little sour grapes about Bitcoin.
Same here. Out of curiosity, I bought some several(?) years ago for about $200 each, on average. I sold all but two when they hit $1,000. Imagine my surprise when I checked in over the weekend and the two I still have are worth nearly $20K.
Back when I bought them, I was still leery of the capital markets and had about $20K cash that didn’t really have a home. I thought briefly about just putting it into bitcoins, but like you I couldn’t quite make the case for it. Its foolish, but hard not to do the math – that $20K would be nearly $1mm today.
And that’s not even the best investment opportunity I have passed on.
Hindsight is 20/20. You also passed on investment opportunities where you would have lost your shirt.
I bought both Ford and GM on the dead cat bounce day. The 1.70 Ford shares netted about $7K for me, and the GM cost me about $300.
People continued to buy GM for months after it was destroyed, so I only lost about half of what I put in.
Wish I’d had more to gamble with at the time.
You also passed on investment opportunities where you would have lost your shirt.
Pretty sure I haven’t, actually.
Hindsight is 20/20.
I know. That’s why doing the math on things you didn’t buy or sold “too soon” is foolish. Irresistible, but foolish.
A friend of Pater Dean who knows people who know people in oil & gas gave us the chance to invest in a new well that the geologists, etc. were pretty high on. We debated whether to get in but we passed, and he went ahead and bought the unit that was offered to us (in addition to one of his own). The well hit. The oil was so clean you could put it straight into a diesel engine. It was paying at about 4x the purchase price per year, probably down to only 2.5x the purchase price per year now. Income after taxes on my share of the unit would be almost what I make before taxes at my job.
Sorry, Jesse, looks like Harry is now off the market for a while. You’ll have to find a new ginger-crush.

Army. Flew Apaches in Afghanistan.
I thought he flew rescue choppers.. Apaches are attack birds unless the Brits f-ed that up by not having ammo…
According to this, he flew attack helos.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2963393/Harry-grounded-Prince-stay-Army-never-fly-combat-helicopters-again.html
He once described his role as an Apache pilot fighting the Taliban as ‘the best experience ever’.
But Prince Harry has now decided never to fly a combat helicopter again.
The Prince, who spent five months in the cockpit of a gunship in Afghanistan, has opted to hang up his flying goggles, even though the Army is short of pilots.
His brother flew rescue choppers. Harry flew attack.
Wikipedia says he was Cav.
He was at first, then he became a pilot.
Way to take my joke and fuck it all up with facts, guys.
We have no sense of humor. Duh.
I don’t think we lack a sense of humor. All the services have a significant level of gay, not just the Navy. We simply didn’t notice it.

Restaurants and pricing is an interesting topic
i agree with the author that ‘lack of transparency’ leaves you with an aftertaste of ‘ripoff’, even if its possible you’re getting great value-for-money: you simply can’t tell. Which is one of the problems with pricing-on-menus and the way it affects the way you order. People, regardless of how rich or pretend-price-unconscious they are, will always be more attentive to the quality of items they order which they instinctively feel are ‘overpriced’. The psychological effect is enormous; cook someone a good steak for $15, they’ll be happy. Sell the same thing to them for $30, and they’ll feel they were robbed. Everyone has mental ‘averages’ they benchmark food items against, and it becomes impossible to separate one’s view of the food w/o mentally keeping those prices in mind.
Which is why i’ve always been a fan of the trattoria/osteria concept, and truly believe that someone in America should try some versions of these, because they offer customers a different experience, one which just *feels* better, both from a value-per-$ point of view, and liberation from the tyranny of the menu
the implementation can vary, but the rough idea is this: take options away from the customer. You sit down? you’re paying X amount. You can eat, or you can not-eat, but it still costs the same thing. You want red or white? fine. but what they bring you is their call. you’re not paying per-glass; its in the bill. You want fish or fowl? that’s fine, they have both, but it doesn’t matter, because its in the bill. they will bring you shit that you didn’t order. Because you don’t really ‘order’ at all. You sit down, and they bring you stuff. Eat it, or don’t. You don’t have to worry about what it costs because its in the bill already.
I’ve only experienced a few places like this, but i loved them all, and felt that it was worth every penny even tho there was zero itemization and no way to really tell what exactly i was paying for. Peter Lugars is not quite like this, but it is nice to simply sit down and go, “steak for [how many people are there+1 for extra hungry], and all the sides”. I like the idea that ‘asking to see the menu’ is lame.
of course there can be variations; itemize booze, but not food; itemize desserts, etc. But the core idea is to simply price-fix per customer and feed them until they’re happy.
I’m not seeing the appeal of this.
You could always try the buffet at sizzler
Me-ow!
Golden Corral, you philistine!
I always thought those were strip clubs.
**i think there was some strip club outside nashville called ‘golden ranch’ or something like that, and every time i saw Golden Corral, i imagined very very very low-budget, overweight strippers in a fast-food restaruant.
Golden Corral patrons often show more skin than desired.
is that any good?
I like it actually, great value.
Uh huh.
Seriously, though, why would people want to be served things at random? I’m assuming there’s a reason why prix fixe is comparatively rare in the US.
not providing a “all things to all people”-menu isn’t exactly ‘random’. in fact, i even suggested that there was still plenty of opportunity for choice involved. just that your choices of what to eat, and what to skip, had no connection to how you were billed, which is more or less a fixed price per person
most trattoria style places posted a list of what they served every day. and you could choose between the meat-dish, the pasta, the fish, or have any combination. the difference is that you go there to eat what they’re making, not to have them prepare something on-demand for you.
Back when I was wasting my parents money and pretending to study architecture, there was a small restaurant that charged a flat rate (discounted for us college kids) but you got whatever she was making that day. It was packed every time I went there.
Racoon ragu it is!
short funny story:
i used to speak at industry conferences as a side-gig; it was $10-20K to the company to rent an analyst for 1hr, and while i almost never saw any of that $ myself, the gigs usually involved 2 all-expensed days at some ritzy resort-hotel in not unpleasant-places.
so, one time it was at the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel . Nice place. I was told the brunch buffet was the bomb, so i called my friend in LA and he came down and met me for the morning. We stuffed our faces . The waiter comes by with a cart with juices on it. He mentions, “just so you know, we charge separately for the juice”. I think the buffet was like $50 or something (can’t remember), so out of curiosity i’m like, “really? how much extra could it be” $20. For juice. PER GLASS. (maybe it was different, but that’s my vague memory)…
…anyway, i’m laughing my ass off at the very idea of it, and the waiter is sort of shrugging and laughing to. He gets that its sort of absurd. We’re like, “each orange is picked by an albino virgin high in the mountains of the andes, and cradled by nuns until it secretes its juice voluntarily”
Anyway, i’m having such a good time, i’m like, “Fuck it, Jose: let’s have the juice too. But it better be the best goddamn juice i’ve ever had in my entire life”
I had the grapefruit. It was the best goddamn juice i’ve ever had in my entire life. It really, really was. I had 2. I can still taste it.
Oh! You mean Omakase! Why didn’t you just say so?
Never heard that specific term before. I knew some nicer sushi joints had an option to just “feed me what the chef decides”, which i think i did once. But yeah, its basically a similar idea, but the rural italian-trattoria is closer to my imagined business-model.
Really craving corned beef and cabbage.

So what’s the consensus on here as to where Bitcoin could go from here? Is it remote possibility that it could increase over the next 10-15 years at the rate that it has over the last 5-10?
I remember reading a story in its early days where a guy spent hundreds of Bitcoin on a pizza, I bet he feels good about that now.

Grrizz! Went to three wineries in Temecula and they all hilariously had reislings and gewürztraminer which I found shocking before remembering Chafed saying that they get heavy runs on bachelorette parties. Sweet white wine is probably REQUIRED. The first place we went had some decent Italian wines, and were sold out on their one explicitly Spanish wine (a tempranillo). The third place we went was heavy on Spanish and Portuguese wines. I had never heard of verdhelo but would be interested in trying others.
Thanks, jesse! Sounds like you enjoyed the visit. I actually don’t think of Riesling as a sweet wine: I guess I always go for “Trocken” Riesling.
It was fun. I could’ve done without the BF’s family breaking out to exceptionally funky cheeses in the limo ride over, and was on somewhat surer footing when he and I went to a bunch of breweries in the Miramar area the next day with some college friends.

Oh the optimism
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch. I’m going to open a pricey bottle of scotch to celebrate the day that harridan finally croaks.
In 2008, I bought a bottle of what my 20-year old self thought was fancy Scotch. I declared it to be for the day that Obama left office, and I did in fact keep it sealed until that day.
(it was Johnnie Walker Black, for the record)
I’m thinking something along the lines of a midrange Laphroaig.
That’s a good choice. I didn’t realize Laphoaig also distilled really high-end stuff. We saw a bottle of some Laphroaig variation for $400 the other day. Granted, CO western slope which would have added about $50 but, still, had no idea.

“The societal belief in the adult as the norm, the ideal – the goal – is called adultism. Put another way: adultism is the power and privileging of adulthood over youth.”
https://everydayfeminism.com/2017/04/adultism-shows-up-youth-nonprofits/
I once again maintain that Everyday Feminism is the greatest satire site of all time.
Hon, 24 is not “youth”.
I was going to say the same thing. “Youth” stops at 17. Once you’re 18 you’re an adult.
It kind of ruins their whole argument (whatever it is – I didn’t read it).
I’m actually going to cut them some slack on this one. It’s Everyday Feminism. For the average reader or writer over there, this probably does make some sense. They consistently take on the mentality and agency of a semi-retarded six year old. Why would it make sense to assign them some degree of intelligence, thoughtfulness, responsibility or authority to them and not to an actual semi-retarded six year old?
The societal belief in the adult as the norm, the ideal – the goal
Being an adult is the norm – way more than 50% of the people alive in society are adults.
Its also the goal – you do want your kids to live past the age of 18, don’t you?
The author may want their kids to live past 18, but I have to admit, I’m hoping for a late term abortion in their case.

There was a place in Piermont New York (I think- it was a long, long time ago) which did this. You went in, sat down, and ate what they brought to the table. I never ate there. It was prohibitively expensive, and you had to make reservations about a year in advance. Everybody said it was good.
Isn’t this “prix fixe”? I thought it was pretty common? Maybe not as much as it used to be but I hear the term fairly often.
-sort of, but the way Prix-fixe is typically implemented is usually during lunch… basically, a higher-end restaurant will offer a special deal to lunch customers + early-diners, where they get soup/salad, and a limited range of options which might be vaguely-related to things on their normal menu.
have you ever done ‘restaurant week‘ in NY? I worked in the madison square/23rd-28th st area for years, and it was sort of a big deal in that immediate zone. A bunch of fancy joints in the vicinity would basically change their menu to offer prix-fixe options for a few days, and attract lots of new-customers. Lots of companies use the occasion to bring clients out.
Some very high-end restaurants (e.g. michelin starred, etc) often have some version of a “chef’s tasting-menu”… basically, where the chef prepares small portions of ‘little bit of everything they make’. They send the waiters out like an assembly line and they’re constantly throwing plates in front of you and serving 1/4-glasses of wine to match whichever ‘5 bites’ of each dish.
they can be absurdly-expensive. i’ve only ever done it in a place my buddy owned, where i basically ate free (paid for booze).
the concept doesn’t *have* to be super-expensive and high-end. The trattoria-concept is actually normally associated with rustic, peasant-food. whats ‘on the menu’ is really just determined by the day of the week
from the wiki entry:
i went to a few places like this in italy in the 1990s. i liked the fact that i, whose italian was basically shit-to-nonexistent, never had to deal with the menu, and could just sit down, eat, and pay, and end up pleasantly surprised by the bill at the end.
*speaking of which, there is this stretch of indian-food restaurants in the east village… like between 1st and A on… 4th street? somewhere around there. one of a few “little indias” in NYC (the other being around lex and 28th)… the places are so unbelievably competitive for walk-in street business that they all have some guy who stands outside on the doorway and invites people in. They can be sort of aggressive at times, which is cute in its own way – sort of a throwback to what i suppose its like if you were actually in some underdeveloped country. The cheaper joints are also covered in christmas lights, which is nice because i usually want to these places baked off my gourd.
Anyway, one of these places – Rupali – has a special deal to attract customers: “Everything is half off”. All the time.
It makes no sense. The menu has normal prices on it. You order, you eat, and when the bill comes? its half what you expected it to be.
I would go there with 4 people and gorge ourselves. the bill was ~$20-25. it never failed to amaze people.
the places are so unbelievably competitive for walk-in street business that they all have some guy who stands outside on the doorway and invites people in.
Last time I was there, this was also true in Brighton Beach.
indian food? i haven’t been out that way since i was like 4. I assumed it was all russian-mobsters.
Here is a picture of the guys on 6th street (not 4th). Sometimes if we were drunk and walking by, we’d fake as though we were heading into one of the places, and they’d all jump into action, then we’d reverse course. It was cruel and i regret it.
No, Russian seafood restaurants. We chose one to eat at after we walked past the hawker and when he saw my daughter in her stroller and the weather had turned windy, he still ran into his place to retrieve a blanket for her.
We were seated in the back and the rest of the place was booked for what was obviously the 3rd birthday of a Mafiya boss’s daughter. It was awesome.
ah, yeah, that sounds exactly what i’d have imagined. I assume the door-guys also serve some double-duty. restaurants are like the corporate offices of criminal enterprises.
It was true in Eastern Promises, so I just assume it’s true in real life as well.
6th Street
I saw a lot of street barkers in Japan advertising for small restaurants and shops that were inconveniently located for street traffic. Totally on the level but amusing going down an alley and up a flight of stairs for a quiet little tavern.

There’s no neighborhood to gentrify, just a lot of trees and snow.
It’s just like field of dreams: put in a sauna and in a few days those trees will all be hip cafes, impossibly pretentious art galleries, and gay bars filled with nothing but quality cocaine and young men–who use depilatory products not yet legal in any developed nation–in tank tops dancing until the wee hours of the morning and then going out for brunch at a French place you cannot pronounce or afford.

Theology prof writes book connecting Christianity to racism
https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=10196
***
Fordham University recently highlighted a theology professor’s new book claiming that “white Christians” are responsible “for racist policies and structural discrimination in America.”
….
Hill Fletcher argues that while today’s Christians may be well-intentioned, they often do not recognize their own responsibility, through religious association, for social injustices.
“I know a lot of white Christians who are upset by what’s happening at Standing Rock, and upset by our segregated communities,” she noted. ”But they don’t necessarily see how our Christian patterns over the last several hundred years have created the conditions for those things, so they don’t feel responsible for them.”
She also asserts that the belief that Jesus is the savior of all people is discriminatory to those who do not share the Christian faith.

the belief that Jesus is the savior of all people is discriminatory to those who do not share the Christian faith.
Well, that’s true. But I thought that was kind of the whole point of believing in a religion, that the other ones are mistaken.
Shut up, Bahá’í and Universal Unitarians, no one is talking to you two.
I had the idea of making a religion -themed version of Monopoly. Instead of buying properties, you’d buy dogmas with disciple tokens. The player markers would include a cross, crescent, star of David, 3HO, Buddha, and a flying saucer.
Chance and Community Chest would be replaced with Schism and Holy War.
dogmas would include: reincarnation, apocalypse, hell, etc
Same basic game- try to gain the disciples of the other players without losing your own. Shrines and temples would replace houses and hotels.
Sounds a bit like Cults and Daggers.

Owner of Sada al-Balad Media Group Mohamed Abu al-Enein has suspended one of its TV hosts Rasha Magdi and referred her to an internal investigation over inappropriate comments she made on air regarding Friday’s terrorist attack on the al-Rawda mosque in North Sinai.
Magdi went off script during her show on the privately-owned Sada al-Balad TV channel on Friday, describing terrorist attacks against the army and police as “mutual violence,” while suggesting that attacks against Christians are more understandable than attacks against Muslims.
“We saw attacks by terrorists on the police and army, and we said this is mutual violence. These extremist groups have attacked churches and we said that they think it is a [different] religion, not Islam, and it is hostile to them, and then we said it is okay, but how [can these groups attack] Muslims?,” Magdi said.
When Magdi worked for the state television network, several legal cases were filed against her for inciting hatred against Egypt’s Copic Christians, particularly regarding the killing by the Egyptian army of more than 25 Christians during what has become known as the Maspero massacre….

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has advised the youths not to fall into ‘traps related to Islam set up by Israeli spy agency Mossad’ on the internet.
He was speaking at an anti-militancy rally of Olama and Mashayekh or Islamic scholars in Shariatpur on Sunday.
“Many young Bangladeshis were trapped by Mossad abroad,” the minister said.
“We’ve seen that these youths are highly educated and they know English well. They are doing these misdeeds after getting education abroad.
“Now they are creating confusion over our religion in different places, websites on the internet,” he said.
Many of the speakers at the rally blamed Mossad for ‘misleading’ Bangladeshi youths.
Without naming Israel directly, Kamal said, “We have information that Mossad, the intelligence agency of the country, the name of which you’ve mentioned many times, is active enough in its efforts to mislead us.”…

When in doubt, blame Israel.

Feminism site Medusa Magazine shuts down after founder admits it was pure satire
http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/11/27/feminism-site-medusa-magazine-shuts-down-after-founder-admits-it-was-pure-satire.html

What appeared to be a far-left feminism magazine has shut down after its creator revealed that the entire project was a joke filled with over-the-top satire packaged as liberal talking points designed to mock legitimate feminists and their supporters.
Medusa Magazine has been cited by several major sources but, “It has always been and will always be satire,” the site’s anonymous creator posted in a blog explaining why the site would shut down.
Medusa’s unnamed creator continued: “We are shutting down our rather hilarious project because we can no longer compete with our competition. We have come to realize that our competition is not other satirical websites, but rather the people we are trying to satirize.”
The creator wrote, “I don’t blame anyone for thinking” the site was legitimate and wanted to “keep our readers in constant doubt” and even posted a Facebook message from last May to prove the entire thing was a joke. It was dubbed “the ultimate Social Experiment” and Facebook followers were told it was to see how long actual feminists would take to realize it was a joke.
A recent series of high-profile allegations of sexual harassment resulted in the site publishing a spoof article headlined, “Why we should believe women who accuse right wingers of rape more than those who accuse liberals.”
The site’s creator called the story a “total caricature intended to be as ridiculous as possible” but quickly realized mainstream news organizations, such as the Washington Post, published stories utilizing the same rationale as the mock column.

Columbia Sportswear may close Portland office over death threats, public defecation by homeless people

Columbia Sportswear may be the next business to flee downtown Portland after a series of frightening encounters with the city’s homeless population, including car break-ins, human waste dumped by the office’s front door and threats to its employees.
In an op-ed piece published earlier this month by The Oregonian, Columbia Sportswear President and CEO Tim Boyle said he is concerned he made a mistake when he opened a headquarters for the company’s Sorel footwear brand downtown, calling the situation “outrageous and unacceptable.”
“In fact, I am so concerned about the safety of our employees at the Sorel headquarters that we are taking the next 90 days to re-evaluate our location decision,” Boyle wrote.
Since moving the 50 employees downtown, workers immediately reported being harassed and threatened by homeless individuals near the new offices.

“A few days ago, one of our employees had to run into traffic when a stranger outside our office followed her and threatened to kill her,” he wrote. “On other occasions our employees have arrived at work only to be menaced by individuals camping in the doorway.”
Besides face-to-face encounters, employees have also been the target of so many car break-ins the company has started to refer to parking downtown as its “laptop donor program,” according to Boyle.

The only solution is to raise taxes, increase real estate prices through restrictive land management policies, and be more hostile to free enterprise. They not woke enough.
You’d think an actual issue of public health (as opposed to the fake public health issues the busybodies that run places like that usually go on about) would trump the wokeness of letting the homeless shit all the place. Guess not.
Ugh thread fail. That was supposed to be in response to the Portland story above.
It’s OK. We all PBrooks from time to time.
What?
Um, that’s ok thanks though.
Sorry, I gave at the office.

Stewed all weekend about my employment, and heard nary a peep today. Stewing continues…
I do have the airplane show live from Manchester on Wednesday to look forward to. Crazy shit happens every time the lads go to MAN. Last time, in October, was an emergency divert of a Lufthansa A380.
The dog either arthritic or dysplastic, so he has troubled getting on the sofa, even with mini stairs. If I help him up, then get up to go to the kitchen myself, he’ll jump down and follow me, then spend 10 minutes borfing at me to help him up again. Little fucker.
He looks happy there, Cute Doggie!
