Honestly, there probably won’t be any cyclopean linkage today. I’m just bored of Wednesday as a concept.
- India and Pakistan say they’ve launched airstrikes against each other. *Checks to see if there’s a Wikipedia list for this (of course there is)* I’m sure this is fine, just fine.
- Oregon Set To Pass The First Statewide Rent Control Bill. “OK Google, set a reminder to compare Oregon rental costs in three years.”
- Oprah Winfrey loses $58 million on Weight Watchers investment as stock plunges. I can’t tell if USA Today is trying to be funny with their headline, but you know what, I’m rolling with it. These are not the losses you were hoping for.
- Tennessee man accused of dipping testicles in customer’s salsa before online delivery
- Scientists Discover New Mineral Icicles, Dead Mollusks, Plastic at the Bottom of the Great Blue Hole. I fucking love science and all, but I was really hoping this was some SugarFree Star Trek erotica.
It’s blue. It’s a hole. And it’s pretty darn great.
I guess I can be semi-on-topic with music from Norway or Sweden, ja?

>>Tennessee man accused of dipping testicles in customer’s salsa before online delivery
Some folks would pay extra for that service.
I hope he got sacked
No, he was nuts.
And tainted the salsa.
I hope it wasn’t one of those weird fruit salsas with perineum.
Naw, he thought it needed avocados.

If he had tried that with salsa from a real state, he’d be too busy hopping around screaming to make a delivery.

Only one of us is in the correct time continuum.
I’m posting from the one where Washington and Jefferson are regarded as too authoritarian, and the Mind Your Business Party controls 107 of 108 State Legislatures, both houses of Congress and the White House. Generally things are pretty smooth, although some argue that President Spooner’s 5th term went a bit far when he proposed and succeeded in passing, the 14th (and final) Amendment which rewrote the entire Constitution to read: Contracts will be enforced. Murder Rape,Theft, and violations of this Amendment are crimes, in all other Government shall have no authority. The 13th freed the slaves and compensated the former slaves, displaced Indian tribes, and controversially the former slave owners with land donated by Canada in exchange for admission to the Union as 9 States.
Things here are generally nice, although the hookers have been raising their rates, there is a shortage of vintage wine and single malt due to the average wage reaching a troy pound of gold a week, and some of us find the constant 72° weather boring.
Mind Your Business Party controls 107 of 108 State Legislatures
Only in coalition with the TANSTAAFL Party, the You’ve Gotta Mouse in your Pocket Party? and the [REDACTED] Slaver! Party.
It sounds like a patriarchy.
Probably because there’s no women in that sausage fest.
Ah, you buried the catch at the end. It’s unpleasantly hot all the time? I don’t know if I’d accept that tradeoff.

Quito, Ecuador is the place for you.
That…actually looks great.
Yeah, I’d take that in a heartbeat.
And they use the American dollar. Their currency is pegged to it. (And Ecuador answers the question: “Where did all those Sacagawea dollar coins end up?”)
And Quito will eventually be a boomtown… It’s the perfect place to build a space elevator.
Amazingly for the city that’s practically on the equator.
Looks like the provinces bordering Colombia are a little dicy, but overall pretty damn nice!

Well, the meetings are over, but now I’m waiting for my car inspection. Damn New York money grab.
I’ve got to get my car’s e-check done this year. It’s worse here in Ohio because now the state pays for it, so you have a bunch of
peopleidiots saying, “At least it’s free!”. And it’s only a small part of the state.I’m sure they pay a good rate for the machanics’ time, and the providers are overjoyed for the paperwork.
As am I. It’s annoying as hell, because you have to do it every other year.
New york’s only last a year. Registrations are two, and they recently upped the fees to renew that. obviously the fees are less than the tickets for not having either.
Same here in VA. It’s roughly $50 for inspection and exhaust, annually. Then registration is a couple hundred every 2 years. Then car tax is tied to car value. Roughly $350/car for late model domestic cars.
They really want us to move back to TX
(car tax is annual)
Split into two payments in my county.
They’re still doing that? What a waste of time and money.
Only in Cuyahoga county and the surrounding ones. So just the greater Cleveland area basically. It used to be the whole state, then (IIRC) just Cleveland area, Cincinnati area, and Columbus area. Then just Cincinnati and Cleveland, now just Cleveland area.
So very very very glad this went away down in Hamilton County.
Say what you will about Jesse Ventura, car shakedowns were one of the first things he killed in office. Along with ridiculous license tab fees.
Oh, and he sent us some of our money back.
But Wrestler Man Bad…
Many years ago Michigan was all poised to do car exhaust testing – a real negative for ahem car enthusiasts trying to get your modified engine to pass – and thankfully John Engler nixed the idea.
Favorite thing about Governor Jesse “the Body” Ventura was when at a townhall meeting, a woman stood up and said “I’m a single mom with 2 young kids. What are you going to do for ME?”
Jesse said “Lady, *I* didn’t get you pregnant.”
It was epic.
He was great, in my youthful naivete I had hopes he would become the libertarian Trump (yes I know it was before Trump was Trump) What a shame he went all tin foil hat.
Tuesday’s vote was split largely along partisan lines. Most Democrats favored the measure, saying it stands to protect renters from exploitation amid a housing crisis.
“This groundbreaking tenant protection bill will make a real difference for Oregon renters,” state House Speaker Tina Kotek said. “Today was one big step forward.”
It’ll make a difference, alright.
Stand by for anguished handwringing about the decline in “affordable housing”.
renters from exploitation amid a housing crisis.
Soon Renters will need to be protected from “SlumLords”
Then Renters will need to be protected from people who just abandon their property.
Renters need to be protected from busybody legislators messing in things they don’t understand.
Homeless people rejoice. More free housing, needs free electricity!
This groundbreaking tenant protection bill will make a real difference for Oregon renters
Yup. As homeless people, many of them won’t pay any rent at all. Yay?
I need to pay attention
India and Pakistan say they’ve launched airstrikes against each other. *Checks to see if there’s a Wikipedia list for this (of course there is)* I’m sure this is fine, just fine.
Wiki also has lists on wars involving India and wars involving Pakistan, and it does look like there has been one war between the two since they’ve both gone nuclear. That war (Kargil War, 1999) was of limited scope and ended in an Indian victory without the use of WMDs, so there is precedence for things going south without going totally out of control.
Oregon Set To Pass The First Statewide Rent Control Bill.
Man, this sounds bad, I’ll go and see…
7% plus inflation? Yeah, I don’t think anywhere outside Portland will be too affected.
You get that at 6% a year over four years. So…even if problem, not solved.
From a linked article;
You know, usually these kinds of laws attempt something and fail. Unless NPR fucked up, this is a law that literally says “you can’t raise rent far more than what market is currently bearing and you’re doing. Carry on”.
Yeah, that urban growth boundary – there wouldn’t be any secondary effects from that. No, none. Well, except maybe for an Iron Law or two.
I’m just puzzled by the 7% (plus inflation!). Up here in Zoolander’s California
There’s also a table of increases in previous years, and it was 4% last year.
Yes, we have shortage of rental spaces. No, I doubt lifting rent controls would fix an iota of the problem, since condos will still be more profitable, and zoning issues will remain in the effect. But at least this one looks like what I’d expect rent control to look like.
If this rent control scheme actually affects prices, the main impact will be to restrict the availability of rental properties.
Camel’s nose. Now that they have rent control on the books, its easy to lower that 7%.
Is it? It’s written into the law, so you have to change the law. And if you have the majority to set it at 4%, or 3% or whatever, why not just do it? Is there a particular segment of Democrats who don’t want it but can’t say no, and are expected to be replaced with more pliant ones?
From a long view, yes. Consider the income and social security taxes, both of which started quite low and were successively raised until they are now quite high. I’d imagine a similar process will be in store for these rate caps, being lowered little by little until they are quite extreme.
It normalizes it. Let’s go to six, it’s already at seven so what’s the harm? Then five, then etc.
This is why you follow the WA example (at least they’re decent with some things) and say that *any* tax-associated bill must be passed with statewide popular referendum. Ie. No income tax – and especially no income tax to pay for King County BS infrastructure.
Making a Murderer: Steven Avery wins right to appeal
Curious about what people here think about this case.
I’ve avoided watching it because I don’t want to get too pissed off. I watched American Vandal instead.
You need to get pissed off.
I’m already pissed off at cops, prosecutors, courts, etc. If you really want, I have a copy of the documentary Of Dogs and Men.
This is gonna be a nut punch, isn’t it? How many puppies die?
I would have to watch again and count. It’s an entire documentary about cops shooting dogs. It includes some dog friendly cops who rail about the improper training as well. Going to the About/Stories page, it focuses on 6 families who lost their dogs. (I watched it when it first came out, I’ll warn you that any room you watch it in will get very dusty).
Can’t do it.
I supported the kickstarter for that.
I will never watch it.
If someone will just swat John Wick, this problem could be ended.
American Vandal was fantastic. Doesn’t sound like there will be a Season 3 though.
I didn’t watch Making a Murder, but being in the area when it happened what I’ve seen from the documentary doesn’t ring true. Most of the ‘explosive revelations’; from it were discussed and gone over at the time and debated publicly in the area. I think there may have been some improper procedures by the government, but I also think he is guilty. His nephew’s story is where the real dirt is IMO, but again I think the nephew is guilty as well. And just the same, no ‘explosive revelations’ from the documentary there either, it was all over local media and discussed.
Thankfully the TV in the waiting room shut off. It was on a “news” channel covering the Cohen testimony. Their great big “gotcha now” excerpts, even if every word was 100% true, were great big nothingburgers. The way the anchors were reacting was threatening to cause my eyes to twist out of their sockets rolling so hard.
I would just watch and do a sit-com laugh every time they said something.
But I need the issue “explained”.
Well, it began wirh the Mhugal empire…
Or earlier.
Things really got rolling about a thousand years ago with the world’s worst holocaust.

Jeebus. I had no idea. I assume that information is reliable?
More or less. India has been densely populated for a long time. The Muslim invasions were an absolute bloodbath.
You know, I had wondered once or twice over the years how it is that Islam managed to leap across India* to take over much of the rest of SE Asia. That the current state is the result of hundreds of years of bloodbath sounds about right.

It’s interesting. This smacks of a CEO reading an article in a business magazine and deciding to put their unique mark on the company.

Loki was gay. But Odin? ::ponders on the Tree of Gay::
I thought Loki was trans and ophidiophilic.
You think he got off on the venom in his eyes?
No, sorry, you’re right. Angrboda was an ogress that gave birth to a snake. I thought he fucked a snake.
Loki was a teratophiliac. And had sex with a male horse while presenting as a post-op transgender transhorse.
I thought she gave birth to Fenrir? (I am not playing gotcha, both my posts here are actual questions. It has been many many moons since I read the myths)
She gave birth to Hel, Fenrir, and Jörmungandr, all Loki’s children. (I’m doing a quick refresher on Norse mythology and falling into a wikihole.)
Loki was gay.
Really? Now I don’t know I feel about naming my cat that. He has. . .tendencies. Just kidding. He is all over the gf. He literally climbs on her tits and gets in her face to cuddle and get attention.

Only because the Bohemian Grove members drugged him.
On further thought I could have been T.H.E.Y. (The Hierarchy Enslaving You)
Nah, I’ve always thought he was crazy. Way before anyone knew who he was, there was a section about him in the book Them about conspiracy theorist types. He was just a local radio host then. In the chapter, the author, Jon Ronson, describes sneaking into Bohemian Grove with Jones, who was VERY excited about how he was going to expose the whole thing. He came off as very earnest and very nuts.

Hey fellers, I’ll be in the TC on Mar 21st. I have to make an airport drop at about 2 PM and have some time if you and Tundra and any the rest of the wanna drink a little coffee.
Tundra snubbed us, so good luck.
Sometimes you just get lucky…
and sometimes you have to steal a bike?
Tundra showed up with bells on when 4Score showed up last fall.
Of course, 4Score brought honey along to sweeten the deal. So I guess it is true about catching more with honey than with a large dog that has no real sense of boundaries.
That honey was fucking awesome.
So was the dog.
This has the start of a XXX-rated SF approved video where there is a big todo at Tundra’s palatial estate that ends up in a some crazy Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups situation involving a strange accidental combination of honey and Wonder Dog.
The final scene is of Mrs Tundra with the world’s biggest smile.
So wait, Mrs. Tundra is Winston’s mom? It’s all beginning to make sense.
Have to agree with Tundra. My wife is considerably fonder of Fourscore than she is of me because of his looks, industriousness, and honey (mostly the honey I think).
She’s been raving about the honey since Fourscore was nice enough to give us some.
I had the 22nd on my schedule, but I’m in town. Same spot 2:30?
Would work for me
I’m in too. Whether you like it or not
So a 3 way, at a minimum
Easy there, big fella. Remember Jimbo’s ticker.
Given that there is a yoga studio right next door and we’re meeting in Spring, I’d say you are settling for far too little Fourscore.
Fight for Fifteen!!!!
I love those outdoor classes.
I penciled it in on my busy social calendar
Srsly, who among us hasn’t dipped their balls in salsa?
I got cinnamon oil on my balls once.
Never get cinnamon oil on your balls.
something… something… Cinnamon Girl
Ghost Pepper Flavored edible lube never really caught on
I was 7 or 8 and cinnamon-flavored toothpicks were all the rage and my parents just weren’t buying me enough of them. So I figured I would just make some with regular toothpicks and cinnamon oil I swiped from the baking cupboard.
Being 7 or 8, there was only one place I could get the privacy my experiment required, the bathroom while pretending to take a shower. And because I might have had to jump in the shower to further the pretense, I didn’t have any clothes on.
I filled a little jar with toothpicks and then cinnamon oil, and I got the oil all over the damn place. I cleaned it up, the bathroom reeking of cinnamon, like Father Christmas himself had just took a giant shit in there, and then idly scratched my balls.
Searing, burning, awful fucking pain. I jumped in the shower and it got a little better and soap finally stopped it. I get out and check for damage, and there are two giant welts on my tiny hairless nutsack. Of course, I didn’t tell my parents so as to not get in trouble and it hurt like a motherfucker walking around with a seared scrotum until about a week later two fingerprint-sized scabs peeled off my balls.
Even your reminiscences of childhood are disurbing.
A lot of weird, awful shit has happened to me. I thought everyone’s life was like that until I grew up.
I ended up with Tabasco in my eyes after a ‘food fight’ at boy scout camp once, which was quite lame, but not nearly as awkward as yours.
That still sucks though. I’ve done the classic “wipe my face while cutting peppers” more than a few times.
Yeah, when I slice hot peppers, I wear latex gloves, because one time I didn’t wash my hands quite thoroughly enough before touching an eye.
I went from “maybe I’ll try some of those nitrile gloves I see people using on TV” to “I can’t possibly cook without those gloves” surprisingly quickly.
Cooking gloves? Welcome to the club.
I use these for both wrenching and peppers. No dexterity issues.
I went slightly cheaper, though I’ve looked at the Venom gloves.
On the plus side, I’m all set for Firefly cosplay.
From this story, at least, it sounds like at least some of that weird, awful shit was self-inflicted. It explains a lot.
Never accuse SF of not writing what he knows.
OMG.
Laughing my ass off and scaring the others. Thanks.
I remember not being able to purchase cinnamon oil because reasons and how, when we were able to score some, foil wrapped toothpicks became quite a valuable contraband.
Innocent times.
JFC.
Priceless.
… there was only one place I could get the privacy my experiment required, the bathroom while pretending to take a shower. And because I might have had to jump in the shower to further the pretense, I didn’t have any clothes on.

So the latest SF hallucinations are not new or recent?.
“It all started innocently, back when I was about 7 or 8”
I think I’ve told this story before, but here it is again.
My father used to have a buddy who lived out in the country. His buddy had a big tom cat named Spike who grew up with dogs and thought he was one. Super friendly cat. In the summer he liked to lay out back in a shady spot to see if he could get a few birds that came to a feeder. The only problem was that his spot was in the middle of some poison ivy. It never bothered Spike but the oil would be on his fur when he came back in and if you weren’t paying attention you could get it on you when he jumped in your lap to get petted.
So one day, my father and his buddy had their planned fishing trip canceled due to windy weather and they sat around his buddy’s house drinking. Late in the evening, I got a call saying that Dad needed a ride home. So I go out there and shoot the shit with them for a while. Both are deep in their cups.
Spike comes walking in and jumps in Dad’s lap. He starts petting him and everyone laughs and tells Dad that he better kick Spike off his lap because he’s been in the poison ivy. “Don’t worry, I’m immune to poison ivy. Never bothered me at all.” says Dad. Famous last words indeed. You’d have to go back to Custer’s “There’s only a couple fucking indians down there” before you found a statement that turned out to be more wrong.
The next day, not only were my father’s hands covered in a rash, his pecker and balls were also inflamed from when he went in to take a leak while his hands were full of poison ivy.
To say the least, his misfortune was a source of amusement and merriment for everyone. To this day, the phrase “I’ve heard some people are immune to poison ivy” makes everyone – except Dad – laugh out loud.
Oh, that is bad. The itching. Did he fill a tub with calamine lotion?
There was a camp legend that a kid wiped his ass with poison ivy, but no clue if it was true.
My brother and cousin went ice fishing a couple of decades ago. The went around the edge of the lake and gathered up some downed branches and vines to use for building a fire. Lucky them, a good percentage of the vines they gathered were Poison Oak. Now it was winter so they were using gloves and such when gathering the wood so they didn’t notice what it was and they then proceeded to sit in the smoke from that fire for a fair bit of time before they realized the problem and got out of there.
The next morning my brother looked roughly like Arnold did in Total Recall when he was knocked out of the environment dome
There was some (ok a lot) of calamine lotion. However, there is some truth to his claim that he is immune to poison ivy. He wasn’t immune, but he is pretty resistant to it. (For that matter, I tend to be less affected by poison ivy and oak than most people too).
So he healed up pretty quickly. The lasting damage was to his ego.

Children shouldn’t be left watching YouTube, full stop. There isn’t really a wall between kid’s content and adult’s content and there are bad actors who intentionally tune their videos of adult content to be algorithmically chosen following kid’s programming. If you’re going to let your kids watch it, make sure you’ve set up the playlist instead of letting YouTube do it, but other than that none of this is a big deal.
Oh, I agree with that. We don’t let the kids take their tablets upstairs to their rooms. They have to use them with one of us around, or on the TV (Xfinity lets you access YT through the cable box). They don’t watch it that much anyway, mostly just my son watching Minecraft or Fortnite videos occasionally.

This is how you raise a future SF with cinnamon smelling scars on their balls.
Color me skeptical.
They just made the connection, now to be repeated several million times.
So, I’d say Oregon just passed a “landlords will increase rent by 10% per year” law.
When I had rental property, I pretty much never raised rent on a renewing tenant.
A months vacancy, plus sprucing the place up, plus advertising the place, and time
interviewing tenants wasn’t worth the extra money for the next year.
But if there was a law restricting the increase, I’d increase it by the maximum
every year, just in case. If need be, I’d offer some sort of rebate to bring
the actual price down to market price.
I have a friend in Chicago that is renting a place where the landlord won’t raise the rent. The landlord lives in horror of being forced to rent to a shitbird with government connections. My friend pays more than the landlord asks.
I’d offer some sort of rebate to bring the actual price down
I’d be surprised if that isn’t illegal because it’s “anti-competitive” or discriminatory.
If need be, I’d offer some sort of rebate to bring the actual price down to market price.
Offering to sleep with the tenants in a reverse Annette Benning in the Grifters deal probably will lead to more trouble than simply raising the rent to over market levels. I’m sure you and the tenants valuation on your sexual services would be widely divergent.

Democrats’ ‘Anti-Lynching’ Law Makes a Mockery of Real Lynching Victims
When most Americans think of lynching, they summon images of the horrific murders of American blacks, particularly in the years of the Jim Crow South. To describe such murders as “bias-motivated acts of terror,” as Cory Booker has, would certainly be accurate. “This bill,” Booker says, “will not undo the damage,” but it “will acknowledge the wrongs in our history. It will honor the memories of those brutally killed.”
So, when Senate Democrats offered their proposed new law, the Justice for Victims of Lynching Act of 2018, I had assumed that it would be a symbolic congressional action to recognize these injustices that took place and to honor the victims. Considering that the act passed the Senate unanimously, that’s likely what most senators also believed.
But that’s not what the act is, and that’s certainly not its intent. The real purpose of the act appears to be the legal redefining of the word “lynching” to include a include a much broader scope of lesser crimes, and to grow the federal government’s power to prosecute these lesser crimes that it includes in its new definition.
A bill that does something different than what is perceived/purported? *faints*
Here’s something interesting to consider. The alleged attack against Jussie Smollett would certainly not, in the commonly understood definition throughout history, be considered a “lynching.” But it would fit the definition of a “lynching” in the Democrats’ newly proposed law.
The act appropriates for the federal government the right to completely remove the most basic requirements for a crime to be defined as a “lynching,” now declaring that a “lynching” is any act where “2 or more persons willfully cause bodily injury to any other person, because of the actual or perceived race, color, religion, or national origin of any person.” According to this definition, a Hasidic Jew being punched by two black guys is now to be defined by the same word we’ve used for decades to describe a mob of racist whites hanging an innocent black man.
The language of the act then becomes very careful. It continues with a separate clause defining lynching to include attacks based upon the “gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability of any person.” That language mirrors, verbatim, that used in the Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009. The only difference is that one or more people committing to such an attack is a “hate crime,” according to the previous legislation’s description of the crime. Now, when two or more people do the same thing, it’s a “lynching.”
I am sure that would all be equally applied.
It’s meant to federalize even more crimes so that grandstanding US Attorneys have even more opportunities to grandstand.
Isn’t this. like, already on the books under ‘murder’?
Fake lynching will get you 2 years in the slammer.
I can’t keep up with the loons in the DNC anymore.

“Neurosexism: the myth that men and women have different brains
The hunt for male and female distinctions inside the skull is a lesson in bad research practice, writes Lise Eliot.
Yet, as The Gendered Brain reveals, conclusive findings about sex-linked brain differences have failed to materialize. Beyond the “missing five ounces” of female brain — gloated about since the nineteenth century — modern neuroscientists have identified no decisive, category-defining differences between the brains of men and women.”

Oh, joy – the estimate for the hound’s CT scan tomorrow has arrived.
She is turning into the most expensive “rescue” dog ever.
For background: TPLO #2 is healing nicely but the lump they biopsied while she was under turned out to be a subcutaneous mast-cell tumor. CT scan will hardly be the last bill…
Ugh. Bummer.
If it makes you feel any better from a misery-loves-company perspective, three years ago my dog ran up a $12K vet bill.
Not there yet, but that’s well within the range of possibility. We’ll see.
Health care is a canine right.
Mast cell tumors suck. The boxer boy in my profile pic got them a lot. Only thing to really do is stay on top of lumps and bumps and have them biopsied as soon as you notice them.
The fact it’s subcutaneous is why we didn’t biopsy it months ago – our main vet figured it was a cartilage growth (it’s right near the end of one of her ribs). The vet who was doing her TPLO figured to biopsy it while she was already under anesthesia, but he was also surprised it wasn’t just some benign growth.
On the plus side, there was no change in size after the initial growth, so I’m a bit optimistic it can be removed and that will be that. Fingers crossed.

Orange Man Bad
President Donald Trump was hit with a spray of shouted questions on Wednesday evening in Vietnam, including one about his former fixer Michael Cohen’s salacious testimony, as North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un sat alongside him, chuckling and looking bemused at the media outburst.
Minutes later, the White House barred four American journalists from covering their next event.
The decision to clamp down on media coverage of the historic summit sparked outrage among the White House press corps and prompted immediate accusations that the White House was punishing journalists for asking the president uncomfortable questions.
“This summit provides an opportunity for the American presidency to display its strength by facing vigorous questioning from a free and independent news media, not telegraph weakness by retreating behind arbitrary last-minute restrictions on coverage,” White House Correspondents’ Association President Olivier Knox said in a statement, adding that the group “strenuously objects to the capricious decision.”
Oh, no, the big bully won’t hold still so we can whack him with this stick. Whycome him no want to be in our Punch and Judy show?
And regardless if you like him, think he is literal Hitler or just want him out of office; is a peace summit trying to denuclearize a regime you were scarred two years ago was going to nuke you really the place to ask questions about such things?
That was my thought as well. I remember when the press was all about norms and decorum.
It’s why they can’t bring him down: they’ve sunk so low, Trump has the high ground.
Reagan: “Mr. Gorbechev, tear down this wall!”
CROWD CHEERS
Reporter: Mr. President! Mr. President! What about Oliver North?
No, more like “When’s Nancy’s next session with her astrologer?”
the White House was punishing journalists for asking the president uncomfortable questions.
Uncomfortable? Try irrelevant and possibly damaging to the summit.
Were they even having a Q&A session? If not any shouted questions would be uncalled for whether uncomfortable, irrelevant, damaging, etc…, if they were having one then it’s on them, pretty dumb to open up a Q&A during an important summit meeting.
The sometime misery of homeownership.
My main floor is partially below grade which means my ground floor is a slab. It was also built in about 1975.
Not long ago I noticed a sink-like smell coming out of my floor vents after washing some dishes. Run a cheapo endoscope camera through the floor vent and sure enough there is water from my kitchen sink.
Call a dude out to try and send a good quality camera down the drain and he tells me that the kitchen branch of my sewer pipe used to be cast iron and now its just chunks of rust and filled with mud so its probably been this way a while and we never noticed cause of a lack of symptoms.
Fortunately only the kitchen branch seems to be rusted out and I can pretty much avoid using it in the short term if I move the dishwasher to the laundry room temporarily.
The next closest branch is for a toilet and bath sink and they appear to be not be collapsed. At least I can’t imagine they would be collapsed since TP/crap would likely be getting stuck and cause a blockage right quick.
I’ve been contemplating who to call now.
Demo crew and a plumber to cut through my slab (which would require removing a lot of hardwood flooring, and a couple cabinets)
Or one of those fancy modern pipe relining/pipe bursting companies to fix up the busted line and re-line the rest of the house since its only a matter of time before it goes bad too.
Either way I just can’t see myself getting out of this one without writing a painfully large check.
Been there. Sorry bud, my story would not reassure you. It involves months of contracting and a pneumatic fecal matter cannon directed at my ceilings.
But I can offer some guidance on both procedures. Remind me tomorrow when I’m at the office and not on my phone

That sucks. There’s been three vans and a trailer from an HVAC company sitting in our neighbors driveway for two days.
There is a law firm down here in FL that advertises a class action suit against home insurance companies for this exact thing. It’s something along the lines of “if you have a house older than 30 years old and have cast iron pipes, home insurance companies are trying to change your policy to exclude this.” Our house ticks all the boxes for inclusion in this, but we’re good so far – we’ve had all our lines scoped with no evidence of collapse (or potential collapse). That and I just couldn’t stand giving Morgan and Morgan any business…
When I sold my last house, I had to shell out $9k to have all the black ABS drain pipes replaced.

What a bunch of sad, pathetic losers.
Ugh…
A massive collection of insecure, vindictive, social climbing assholes.
Would you look at that? Twitter is still cancer.
So my wife who is a children’s librarian is well aware of how these jackals will descend on anyone who writes the “wrong” thing. When we were driving to Michigan for a vacation, she told me that a coworker who was recently published has a (well founded) fear that these same jackals will come after her if she writes something they don’t like and has to worry about checking all the correct boxes and making sure she doesn’t offend anyone. The issue is these assholes do lasting damage to a lot of decent up and coming authors and what makes it worst is when the accused authors try to grovel and apologize.
At some point someone have to tell these folks to go eat shit and die in a fire.
I bailed out of Romancelandia because of that very same thing. The end result is a lot of milquetoast writing.
Some people cannot handle any sort of power.
I know I’ve said this before but while I was for the 2nd Amendment it wasn’t on my list of things to vigorously defend. But as I’ve seen the explosion of authoritarian assholes on social media who have targeted wrong thinkers and set out to destroy their lives, having a means to defend yourself when these assholes eventually turn to violence is the best thing for this country since internet porn.
Dude, the 2A is the one I actually care about. Everything else depends on that one. If troops want to quarter in my home I’m going to have a better time referring them to the Days Inn down the road if I’m armed with a carbine than with stern looks and colorful language.
All the other amendments are meaningless if you don’t have the 2nd to protect you from those encroachments. Granted a lot of our liberties have been eroded slowly but imagine if we didn’t have the right to bear arms.

The freshman lawmaker and self-described democratic socialist told Rolling Stone that “a lot of Republicans” know they should speak out against President Trump, but don’t.
“In the Republican Party, there’s a hostage situation going on,” she told the magazine. “There are a lot of Republicans that know what the right thing to do is — not just on impeachment but on a wide range of issues — and they refuse to speak up.”
Ocasio-Cortez called it “an unacceptable position” for GOP figures not to stand up to the president.
“We’re not in the realm of politics anymore,” she said. “These are not questions of politics. These are questions of society. These are questions of equal treatment. These are questions of civil rights.”
Any body who won’t do what we want should be shot and dumped in a mass grave. That’s how democracy works.

CINCINNATI (AP) — A federal appeals court has rejected an Ohio woman’s defamation lawsuit against actor James Woods over Twitter posts during the 2016 presidential campaign.
The Cincinnati-based 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Wednesday a lower court ruling dismissing the lawsuit by Portia Boulger of Chillicothe (chihl-ih-KAHTH’-ee), an activist for Democrat Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign.
In March 2016, a Twitter account mistakenly identified Boulger as a woman who appeared to give a Nazi salute at a rally for then-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Woods’ account retweeted the photos, asking: “So-called #Trump ‘Nazi’ is a #BernieSanders agitator/operative?”
Multiple outlets reported the photo was of another woman, and Woods eventually corrected his tweet.
The appellate judges found Woods’ tweet “could reasonably be read to have an innocent meaning” as merely asking a question.”

Glibs,
Can someone tell me how to install Monocle in Firefox? I tried searching addons but it didn’t show up
Sorry, I don’t use it, but maybe you could ask trshmnster?
Here
Do yourself a favor and also download Tophat. See the thread under comment #21
Thanks!
I recommend eyepiece and tophat. I stopped doing development on monocle a while back. Tophat will eventually get folded into eyepiece whenever I feel like messing with it.
I thought eyepiece was mobile only…?
Nope, it’s mobile friendly, but it works on desktop too. I just updated it to not nuke SP’s sidebar buttons and I’m working on getting tophat integrated into it right now.
Ah, OK. I’m still on Monocle 2.00.
…
Installed Eyepiece. My, this is different. I’ll comment later if I have any questions, thanks 🙂
I have no idea how 2.0 looks anymore. Eyepiece was a near-complete rewrite using JQuery natively instead of refactoring it into some of the Monocle code. I should really write a quick article pointing out the different available scripts.
I thought you had mentioned an upgrade in Tuesday’s links.
At any rate, thanks! It seems to be working.
I hate disk crashes. Lost bookmarks, settings, firefox passwords and all my Outlook info. It will take weeks to get back together.
