Hopefully, by the time you read this, I will have A/C again. Or a plan for A/C. Otherwise, I’m going to be sitting in a kiddie pool full of ice wearing my Florida Man birthday suit, cooling my taint.

- I’d pick somewhere else than an arsenal to get shooty. But Alabama isn’t really known for its education system.
- State of California — active science denier. There is good evidence that glyphosate does not cause cancer. In fact, there appears to be active scientific fraud perpetuating the myth. But hey, fuck Monsanto, right? At least this ruling probably won’t sentence tens of thousands of the world’s poorest children to die horribly like DDT myths did.
I wore just the skirt today. Working from home means I make my own dress code.

in all seriousness, what the fuck.
Stories like that really fuck me up. One guy with a handgun would have saved that person’s arm. ONE.
If only he were better armed, he’d be better armed.
It is always about choices and tradeoffs.

Groovy.
Well now his wife is free to bang her coworker.
Yep he gets the girl. Gotta hand it to him
Because he sure can’t hand it to himself anymore.
Perfect for her. She doesn’t have to blow him because a handjob is so special for him now…
I’m a little afraid to ask how that is different than a regular “birthday suit”

Dude, really should include NSFW
You really should hover over those links first.
Or just never EVER click an HM link at work.
That is sound advice.
Or at home … or anywhere?
I dreamed about clicking an HM link, and when I woke up my pillow was gone.
Was it your waifu pillow?
And it wouldn’t bother me if “My Pillow” were gone. Those commercials are fucking annoying.
Why do you hate things Made in America, Ted?
It’s HM. NSFW is assumed.
It’s HM.
NSFWawesome is assumed.I’m finding it hard to believe that the human’s fingernail isn’t puncturing the fairy’s uterus. Also, that’s a pretty talented fairy to take penetration larger than her arm. It’s like super fisting.

http://music.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/06/23/label-drops-austin-band-dream-machine-over-comments-on-immigration-feminism/
Austin musical group has been dropped by its record label for making un-woke comments during an interview. Kick Austin out of Texas
I’m pretty sure they already have kicked Austin out of Texas.
I’m behind the times
That’s life in a southern town.
I just bought their album. Pretty groovy tunes.
I’ve only seen a couple of you-tubes but yeah, and the chick is a smoke-show.
Now I want to buy their album, but at the same time I don’t want to give money to a pantshitting virtue signalling SJW label, lest they donate that money to some refugee slush fund.
For our part we’re going to find a decent charity to donate our end of the profits from the record to, though something tells me this won’t exactly send it flying off the shelves.”
Phew! Good thing they got that social signal sent before their label was sacrificed to the PC god and they weren’t invited to the cool drum circles anymore.
Austin is so expensive! We should move to…Amsterdam.

Model……………….
http://www.barstoolsports.com/boston/barstool-local-smokeshow-of-the-day-kate-from-uri/
…………..or college girl. The results may surprise you
I wasn’t all that surprised that it was the model who suffers from anorexia nervosa.
College girl all the way. Model is too skinny.
As usual, college girl – although the Patriots stuff almost cost her my vote.
When you’re hitting it from behind and she looks over her shoulder and moans “34-28 in overtime!”
How can we be sure that is not actually his leg getting sawed off out of frame?
Well, yeah.
I’m a Falcons fan. That would get her ass spanked… In an extra mean way.
I didn’t know the Falcons had fans.
Easily your hardest one yet.
Model has big naturals, decent caboose, but icy face and too slender.
College girl probably ranks below the model in most categories, but also looks like she happily swallows and isn’t lacking in the curves department.
Final verdict: College girl
Wow. I was ready to say model but then I saw college girl. Very tough one, but I gotta say college girl
I’m not picky; I’ll take whichever one you guys don’t want.
Pic of chainsaw indicates it was a Stihl. At least the would be killer had some good taste in saws, it could have been a Poulan or some crap like that.
Electric Black and Decker
I like my Craftsman pole-saw.

Anyone up for tasteless parody lyrics of “YMCA”? Cause I’ve got ’em.

“Warning: This product actually kills weeds”
Just go pee on them instead.
Almost everything we sell has the CA cancer warning on it.
Cancer warnings are known to cause cancer by the State of California.
*The previous blog comment has caused cancer in laboratory animals*
I always wondered how much that phrase added to the cost of every product I bought outside of CA.
A taint angel… quite a visual.
t’aint nothin angelic about that
Negroni – a very belated ‘thank you’ for your Cleveland recommendations. I was able to make it out to the Slyman’s as well as Cozumel. I particularly liked the latter — that Saturday night I had a few hours to kill before the band started. I made my way there, sipped on some margaritas and downed some tacos on a wonderfully hot night.
Weird. This thread is long dead, but I’m pretty sure you owe those thanks to someone else. I’ve never been to Cleveland before and, god willing, I can continue that trend forever.
I, for one, have a beautiful taint. I’ve gotten some highly regarded reviews.
Family members don’t count.

CNN Resignations A Sign Of The High Stakes In Covering Trump’s Administration
Really? I thought it was more an indicator of how blatantly making shit up might actually… eventually… someday… get you fired from your job as a journalist.
Yeah, it’s actually the exact opposite, covering the Trump Administration while constantly lying has been so considerably low stakes that some journalists have managed to push too far and end up terminated for general incompetence.
It is so incredibly slow here at work – apparently no one wants to do anything before the fourth of July mini-vacation, and my boss is already on vacation are are two other employees.
*are are = as are
Half of my office is already on vacation.
My bosses are getting increasingly shrill and nonsensical claiming we’re not getting enough work done. Work is going to be open on July 4, but I sure as hell ain’t going in.
I work with Europeans a lot. I was canceling recurring meetings next week because no one from North America will be in the office and a bunch of the EU weenies were giving me a hard time.
I had to point out that no work ever gets done in August because no one in the EU (excepting Syrian refugee bombers) does anything at all. Or around Easter.
Fuck the EU doesn’t do much work at all.
It’s been said before, many times, by myself and others on this board but… screw these idiots using the CBO score as a reason to not support Trumpcare. There are plenty of good reasons to not support Trumpcare, but the CBO score is not one of them. “OMG 22 gazillion people will lose healthcare!!! What we gonna do?!?!?” If. you. stop. forcing. people. to. buy. it. SOME PEOPLE WON’T BUY IT. Stupidity or mendacity are the only two explanations.
I’m getting the impression the WaPo really really doesn’t like Trump.
A Time Magazine with Trump on the cover hangs in his golf clubs. It’s fake.
It’s actually brilliantly meta when you think about it.
After receiving all kinds of public subsidies for their new stadium, the Yankees made all kinds of promises of things they would do to revive the neighborhoods around the new stadium. What happened next will totally not shock you.
Did they burn the neighborhoods to the ground?

My grandma said that one a lot. Along with many other weird southernisms. My all time favorite though was “Colder than a well digger’s butt.” I’ve never heard that one anywhere else.
I got plenty since both my parents are “rural” Southerners of varying types.
Hotter than a half fucked fox in a forest fire.
Colder than a witch’s tit in a brass bra face down in the snow.
I appreciate the fine alliterative verse of the first one. It could be a line from a modern Beowulf.
“She looks like she was dipped in sin and beaten with misery” All these years later and I still have no idea what that one means.
It’s been a while since I’ve heard that one.

After finishing a Parliament session that did his popularity ratings no favours, PM Zoolander does what he does best: furiously preening.
Why would he need to have conversations with US officials about Canada’s own immigration policies(*).
(*)which are pretty fucking strict to Americans that want to move northward or just work on the other side for a while. Go fuck yourself Zoolander.
I can’t even take the family to Canada next week when were gonna be close without spending a fortune on passports. Go to hell Canadians, though I’m sure some of them are good people
That one is a joint US/Canada fuck you post-9/11.
But at the same time, Canadians have been very clear that we see immigration as a net positive…based on a points system that heavily incentivizes beneficial immigrants and makes our immigration more restrictive than the United States’.
You know, if he wasn’t a lying sack of shit.
To be fair, successive governments have been expanding
voter importingfamily reunification numbers for years.Yes but it’s still the reality of the Canadian immigration system being more restrictive that the U.S.’s while this idiot virtue signals about how wonderful we are. We have nothing like their lottery system.
Jesus Christ I’m going to have to be really not sober on the 1st.
This will probably be terrible, but fuck it. Found immigration %ages broken by year and category:
Category 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015
Economic 37.4 38.8 44.2 46.4 51.5 48.2 49.3 47.1 49.9 50.0
Sponsored 43.1 42.6 40.9 38.7 33.2 33.1 33.6 35.0 33.1 29.7

All Other Immigration 2.1 2.3 1.9 1.6 1.5 1.8 2.3 1.7 1.6 1.9
Basically point system accounted for more than 50% only in 2010, with honourable mention of 2015 where it was exactly 50%.
This is permanent residents only, so students, refugees who haven’t been resettled, and temp. workers aren’t included.
Yes indeedilly doodilly. I don’t understand how “wanting there to be some kind of standards on immigrants” gets conflated with “xenophobe!” so easily. Wait. I do understand. It’s red meat bromides for the weak minded.
If he goes to Europe with this crap….he’s a bigger fool than we all thought.
And like Trump gives a shit about what Trudeau thinks.
Meanwhile, Mark Steyn eviscerates PM Zoolander’s vacuity. Whether he scalped The Locks is unknown.
“The official explanation here is that he wished to celebrate both Rosh Hashanah and the Third Reich”
Makes just about as much sense.
Why did he wear Ramadan socks for the Pride Parade? It doesn’t make any sense.
If you click on the link, there’s a picture of the socks in question. My gaydar is stuck on “broken” so I can’t accurately rate their homosexuality quotient. They are striped and multicolored, at least…
Aren’t you European? That would explain your gaydar. ‘Gay or European?’ is an almost impossible game. At the higher levels it truly is impossible. Once in Stockholm I saw a dude wearing a black mesh shirt and a pink hat that said “boy” on it relentlessly hitting on a girl at a bar.
I used to be really fucking good at Gay or European and my gaydar is TERRIBLE. Back pockets on pants are always a little wrong in euro wear and they go for much thinner soled shoes than Americans generally do.
That’s the least of it. Shoe shopping in Europe is terrible because their shoes are, generally, terrible. Wing tips, wing tips everywhere!
I grew up in “there’s no gay folk ’round here parts, but be always on the lookout for them evil queers who are everywhere, but also if you know what they’re like you’re probably one of them” country. So anything less than two dudes making out doesn’t register.
Like, I saw that stupid 70s Village People movie on TV and never got a gay vibe from it. That’s how bad it is.
So obviously, when that guy offered you a blow job, you just assumed he was being polite. And who can be rude to such a polite guy?
Why do all these homosexuals keep sucking my cock?
If blow jobs are more common than kissing round your parts, I’d…
Oh wait, you’re Florida Man! Never mind, carry on.
Mad Scientist, that is truly a classic. I immediately thought of it as well.
Uh, I wouldn’t go around playing a game of ‘Gay or Serbian’ unless I wanted to lose some teeth.
Their interests are…darker.
Serbs are nuts.
That was way after my time, but I buy the explanation
Because sadly, the best films were a) made in 80s and b) probably incomprehensible to the outside world.
Although, maybe “a funeral home family who dig up old caskets and sell as new, ranging in age from 18 to 104 as a metaphor for communist society” isn’t so far-fetched…
I’m guessing satirical humour isn’t a craze in Serbia?
There’s a proud tradition of satirical humor all the way to Turkish times. And equally proud tradition of authorities trying to manage it in ham-handed way, falling flat on their faces, and looking stupid.
Say what you will about Balkans, but at least our tyrannies always lacked the effectiveness of German ones, or scope of Russians.
Schlamperei is not just for Austrians!
“The Balkans – At least we’re incompetent.”
Pan for Serbian Tourist Minister 2017.
“The Balkans: Yeah, we’ll hassle you over stupid shit, but $20 gets you out. Try that in Germany!”
How do you know she identified as a ‘girl’, Shitlord?
Rainbow Ramadan socks. Let’s just pause a minute and contemplate the wonders of capitalism that those exist at all first.
But basically he’s just showboating liberal cred at this point while failing to do enough substantive to energize his supporters.
Are they rainbowy, thought? There are only four colours, and not in spectrum order. A better, less lazy man than I would look up what , if anything, Purple-Yellow-Red stripes represent in Islam…
They evoke rainbowness. If you throw rainbow confetti or something people still know what you’re going for.

If you have to ask any question based off how something makes no sense, the answer always is “Because Justin Trudeau is a moron.”
I swear, if the Tories hadn’t been so corrupt at the end of it they probably could have won the election by reading quotes from his book to a giggling audience.
I’m hearing more and more people who aren’t exactly political in my circle say stuff like, ‘cut this shit out and go govern’.
Even people who are highly tolerant of this crap are getting tired of it.
I am exact opposite. The more he preens and postures, the less damage he does.
I’d love nothing more than 8-month Zoolander World Tour during which no government decisions are made.
Yep. He’s got the Obama Benefit, i.e. he’s largely incompetent so he’s actually far less likely to fuck the country up too much in the long run. I just wish I lived in a riding where voting Tory would actually matter.
I knew my sample size was waaayyyy too small and probably wasn’t close to reality.
Men who wear novelty socks with business wear should be beheaded.
Well I guess you’re not getting nyancat socks for this year’s gift exchange.
He’d only wear those in bedroom, so you can put them back on the list.
Interesting. What is your take on men who color match their socks to their tie? I believe they deserve to be shot for such anal retentiveness.
Ah, I believe you match your socks and pocket square. With your tie being accented by both.
//scribbles Brett L onto list with purple crayon.
God, I hate matchy-matchy.
Socks should blend into your trousers. That’s it. There really is nothing more to it.
There is no sensible matching anyway. It’s all random rules made up by the same people who think they can taste the difference between expensive wines. This is blue and that is blue, but apparently it’s the wrong kind of blue and actually if you want to match wear this, uh, green thing. Whatever. Just wear what’s comfortable.
If you’re talking in general, sure. But for business, dressing for comfort isn’t the prime objective. Even in Silicon Valley, dressing like a piss-drenched hobo is more actually about signaling status then comfort.
My sister works at Gallo; she can taste the difference. She has all sorts of certifications including one that required just that.
Ah, but the fact that you need a certification and training sort of proves the point.
It’s all random rules
No. it’s a failure to move on from Beau Brummel’s early attempts to peacock.
What’s even worse is that it was still better than the historical alternatives… although with my well defined calves I’d look smashing in 15h century continental men’s fashion.
I would rock the fuck out of doublet and hose. Stupid pants…
I’ve been dithering for years on getting a decent kilt. A friend of mine pulled the trigger and it’s making it harder to resist.
It really irks me that chicks can wear tights any time they like, and dudes can’t except when we’re being athletic. Tights and shorts is a really practical combination (and not just for running and biking.)
Can’t? Or won’t?
meanwhile I’m over here wondering where you buy socks that aren’t white.
Treat yourself to a pair of Pantherellas.
The links says ‘mens socks’ but I don’t see anything on that page a real man would put on his own feet.
John Steed got more pussy that all of us combined.
I can get black gym socks at Sam’s Club.
Wal-Mart? Those socks were white but then dyed black.
Men who wear flip flops nowhere near a beach and for casual existence should be drawn and quartered.
Fuck off Slaver /looks at sandals
I have some fun and get some mileage from my colorful and sometimes novelty socks, and I’m one of a handful of people who wears a long sleeve shirt and tie Every. Single. Work. Day.
Don’t other my sock antiheteronormarivity, bro.
Damn Steyn makes me laugh.
If you like his style, I recommend the UK Spectator Magazine. He used to write there, and there are a few people who write in similar (but not identical) style. It’s also genuinely diverse in political opinions of its contributors, to a degree I’ve not seen in US or Canada.
On the downside, they’ve begun demanding registration even for baseline content. Sigh…
When I look at how it has become damn near impossible to wipe out weeds in my grass I will always think, ‘California’.
I’m having a laugh over this McEnroe thing. He’s 1000% right of course.
I like Serena’s reply tweet:
“I’ve never played anyone ranked “there” nor do I have time. Respect me and my privacy as I’m trying to have a baby. Good day sir”

Oh, the grunting has gotten worse since Seles’ day.
And by worse, you mean better.

Island appears off the coast of NC overnight. No, the Chinese did not build it.
http://www.cnn.com/travel/article/new-island-north-carolina/index.html
Jesus, CNN.
That’s a sand drift.
The really news there is CNN reporting on something other than Russia.
“Quick, news division, find something that’s not Russia! We need to counter this Project Veritas video!”
“but, boss — all you wanted was Trump/Putin Fanfic!”
“GET ME SOMETHING NOT RUSSIA TO RUN!!”
…
“erm, sir, I have a photo of a sand drift…?”
“Perfect. Run it. Call it a new island and blame global warming!”
this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal
The story linked at the bottom is far more interesting:
Zannone: Italy’s forbidden ‘orgy island’
The villa itself sits on the grounds of a ruined medieval monastery adorned with terracotta frescoed statues and housing a tiny chapel.It’s a curious mix of the sacred and blasphemous.
“The villa was an illegal construction,” says Peci. “How can you allow to build on an archaeological site? Zannone went from being a place of meditation, silence and prayer to one of transgression and scandals.”
God’s name was invoked quite often in both instances.
Transgressions and sandals, eh?
As soon as I own my own island…
Any time you hear about an orgy, it’s not as cool as it sounds.
Maybe when Guam capsized, it drifted over there?

Alright, to all the Canuckistanis in the audience: we’ve had several articles/comments on Zoolander being a brainless, ur-socialist twat. What I want to know is, does his being Pierre’s son mean he can’t be criticized? I see these parallels with Obama in him and one of Obama’s chief advantages was his skin color being a get out of jail free card for anything and everything. Does Zoolander have anything like that going for him?
Zoolander’s got his diehard followers and cultists, to be sure, but he’s nowhere near immune from criticism. Your locale probably matters a lot. Up here around Sudbury, i.e. rural and backwoods as all hell, people tend to regularly recognize that he’s an idiot. If you were working as a bureaucrat and lived in Ottawa suburbia where everyone leans some degree of Liberal or NDP it might cause some discomfort (although I’ve also known long standing Liberals who openly admit he’s an idiot, but they’re ok with him because at least he’s a popular idiot, or so they think).
You live in Sudbury? No shit. I worked on SNOLAB for a while. Beautiful country up there.
Sometimes I wish it were less beautiful, because we’re starting to get Florida style urban retirees problem up here. Except they don’t fuck off in the summer.
I’m up to my asshole in California refugees so I know how it goes.

I’ll put up with his bullshit virtue signalling if he presents it as his views. The problem is that he doesn’t and constantly pretends to be the ‘voice of Canadians’. I can’t believe he praised Castro ‘on behalf of all Canadians’. That was fucking disgusting.
That was the final straw for me and forever lost me.
Seriously, I don’t consider him my PM. I have to respect the office until the term is over but fuck him.
Nope. He’s more of a polarizing Bill Clinton-type, with a whole range of acceptable thought, from “empty-headed pretty boy” to “dynamic young genius”.
We all agree, however, the The Locks are above reproach.
I kind of thought he looked better with the beard, sort of a throwback to early French Canada look. Or maybe I was just hoping he was Mirror Universe Zoolander.
Now the raving left is going after….. wait for it…..
David ‘Milquetoast’ Brooks, Trump Lover Extraordinaire
http://www.gq.com/story/david-brooks-trump-whitewater
GQ? They’re a leftist hack shelter, too?* I don’t really know why a fashion magazine (or whatever the hell GQ is) needs a politics columnist anyway, but it’s all so predictable.
*Not meant as a defense of David Brooks. No. Not even a little.
To be fair, he doesn’t seem to be much of a columnist. I didn’t (couldn’t) read the whole thing, but it read like a half-drunken frat boy spewing out shit he thinks makes him look tough and will get him laid.
Look, I found SugarFree’s car!

I don’t see any pubes or crushed dreams.
They’re in the trunk, with Warty’s other leavings.
I was thinking more along the lines of this.
Why the left are deranged and illogical:
Yashar Ali ✔@yashar
WATCH: John McEnroe apparently thinks Serena Williams is a hysterical woman who may fall apart because of his comments and go into labor
Not what he said or meant.
AT ALL.
You want some real controversy? Would she be ranked at all on the men’s tour? Answer: no.
McEnroe was being KIND when he said 700.
I’m serious.
Men and women excel at different things. It has absolutely nothing to do with individuals’ value as human beings. Because a woman cannot beat up Manny Pacquiao says nothing about whether she is valued and lovable and all that shit. Why can’t the Left accept that?
This actually makes a pretty cogent argument.
Exactly. The interviewer asked along the lines of ‘why did you have to classify (or was it qualify) it by saying she was a women? Why not just say the best player?’
Er, because that would imply and implicate the men. She asked him to be a disingenuous cuck like the left are accustomed to.
Progthought goes something like:
‘Why can’t you just go with the narrative and why do you hate black pregnant tennis players?’
And once again most of the people making the most noise probably don’t even know how to hold a racket.
CNN takes it on the chin!
https://theintercept.com/2017/06/27/cnn-journalists-resign-latest-example-of-media-recklessness-on-the-russia-threat/
“That there is now a fundamental problem with reporting on Russia appears to be a fact accepted even by CNN executives. In the wake of this latest debacle, a CNN editor issued a memo, leaked to BuzzFeed, imposing new editorial safeguards on “any content involving Russia.” That is a rather remarkable indictment on media behavior when it comes to Moscow.
The importance of this journalistic malfeasance when it comes to Russia, a nuclear-armed power, cannot be overstated. This is the story that has dominated U.S. politics for more than a year. Ratcheting up tensions between these two historically hostile powers is incredibly inflammatory and dangerous. All kinds of claims, no matter how little evidence there is to support them, have flooded U.S. political discourse and have been treated as proven fact.
And that’s all independent of how journalistic recklessness fuels, and gives credence to, the Trump administration’s campaign to discredit journalism generally. The president wasted no time exploiting this latest failure to attack the media:
Wow, CNN had to retract big story on “Russia,” with 3 employees forced to resign. What about all the other phony stories they do? FAKE NEWS!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 27, 2017
Given the stakes, reporting on these matters should be done with the greatest care. As this long line of embarrassments, retractions, and falsehoods demonstrates, the exact opposite mentality has driven media behavior over the last year.”
What’s probably MOST remarkable about this is that being 100% incorrect over and over again has not dissuaded any of these organizations in the slightest.
Greenwald does a good job here pointing out the obvious = its not a matter of these orgs making ‘honest mistakes’. They do it because its both good for their TEAM-narrative, and it provides healthy ratings.
if there’s any change to the pattern in the near future (e.g. CNN’s recent leaked internal policy that ‘anything to do with Russia’ now gets an added layer of review) its not because there’s any self criticism going on, its because they simply want to insure themselves against killing the cash-cow.
Dead Racoon Intended For Use As Crab Bait Confused For Dead Dog Which Prompted Redneck Roadside Justice
Or, as they say in Florida: “Tuesday”. This was not in florida.
Why the hell would anyone shoot someone for dragging a dead dog?
(makes “dude, you’re asking the wrong guy” gesture)
Yokels gonna yokel
True, there is probably no good answer to that question.
I cannot adequately formulate judgement on this story as I do not know the race/ethnicity of every single individual involved.
Piss-poor reporting.
What kind of crabs do you catch dragging a dead animal behind a car, anyways?
Hopefully not coconut crabs.
Don’t pretend that you don’t know.
If you actually don’t know, YOU KNOW SOMEBODY WHO DOES.
I can’t quite come up with the right Cajun joke here.
“You heard ’bout Boudreaux gettin’ dragged to death? Some guy was draggin’ a roadkill behind his truck and ol’ Boudreaux got caught like a fish on a hook. Thibodeaux was so busy flaggin’ traffic, he didn’ even notice.”
Pronounced “Thib-uh-day-ox.”
Tib-ah-doh
The kind of crabs that result in nobody in FL having pubic hair.
Holy shit!

I have not really read this whole story, but the take-away I’ve chosen is, “We Can’t Entirely Limit The Child-Molesting In Kids Gymnastics: Its Part of The Sport“
Well, why else does anyone become a gymnastics coach?
It’s less creepy than measuring the girls for their uniforms.
From what I understand.
Policies? Fucking Policies?
Were gymnasts molested or not? If so, were the offenders prosecuted?
We talkin bout policies. /Allen Iverson

Well, it could have been cocaine so we needed to keep him locked up for the children.
WHAT IF KIDS START SNORTING DRYWALL?? EVER THINK OF THAT??
All the coke addicts I know leave a coating of it on their car seat and in the foot well. It’s not like the stuff is expensive or anything.
I can’t believe “Karlos Cashe” isn’t some politician’s alias.
Once I get into elected office and start sexting my secretary’s 15 year old daughter, I’ll be sure to use that one.
So, no harm no foul, right? I’m sure his employer was waiting for him with a job and the state compensated him for his lawyer and back wages?
I read the delayed orgasm article from the morning links (https://aeon.co/essays/delayed-orgasm-the-sexual-technique-thats-better-than-sex). Who has the time for 8 hour orgasms? With that much time, I could have an orgasm and a day hike. And another orgasm when I got back. Maybe my worldview is just too narrow.
Isn’t that the “tantric sex” thing that Sting (singer, not wrestler) was talking about like 20 years ago?
Sting was actually describing his cocaine problem, and how long it took him to nut. SOOO TANTRIC
An 8 hour orgasm probably causes Alzheimer’s or something.
Dallas DA conveniently waits until just after the statute of limitations has expired to determine that cops committed a crime
Aw, shucks.
Can the DA be charged with obstructing justice?
So statute of limitations of murder is 3 years in Dallas? I have food in my house older than that.
I would say ew…but I am going to assume you have several years worth of vegetable omelet MRE.
Cans…. lots of cans.
“The National Endowment for the Arts is spending $20,000 for a musical about a lesbian illegal immigrant who is in love with an ICE agent.

Wouldn’t Sharia law only restrict female mimes? So that’s no solution.

Maybe Cthulhu can put us out of our misery. I’ll consult the Necronomicon tonight.

Seriously OT: Anybody out there know where I could source 50,000 metric tons of petroleum coke? Like pretty soon?
Don’t you live near half the refineries in the country? Just stop by each one with a measuring cup in your hand and ask if you can borrow 10,000 tons.
You would think it was that easy. But no.
If we were all still Koch stooges, you could have asked for your monthly payment in coke.
Dude, you are jonesing hard.
How come you have never shared with us the video of your first date with Banjos? And why did I have to hack your account to find it? I thought we were bros.
Seems legit.
You should have seen what I found in OMWC’s drive.
That was one of the riskiest clicks ever.
I’m really , really, REALLY afraid to click that…
Especially after the one above.
Unfortunately Glenn Frey and David Crosby are both unavailable.
Yes. But I don’t like you, and therefore, I’m foregoing the 7 figure commission.
Funny you should ask. Earlier this month I received an email from a Chinese gentleman seeking to partner with my for all sorts petroleum industry transactions.
*my firm…
Those little yellow bastards are the problem. They’re buying it all up.
Well duh, since they bought most of Vancouver, now they need a steady supply of power, or something.
Hmm… I’ve been in touch with a Nigerian prince who could maybe help out, once the check clears.
From the University of Michigan.
50,000 tons is 50,000,000 kilos of coke. What’s the street value on that?
Did I ever tell you about the time I saw Chevron unload new coke drums from a ship and drive it overland a few towns because there was no other way to get it to the refinery?
They should have just stuck with the old recipe and the real sugar.
Since we’re trying to trade in industrial chemicals here, does anybody have a need for 50-100lbs of Antimony Trioxide. Also, I have a 55 gallon drum of Methylene Chloride. Come on over, Quincy is ready to deal.

‘My air is conditioned! (But damn it takes a long time to cool down a house)’
Next year, a day or so before the forecast calls for AC to be necessary, close off all of the vents on the highest/upper floor with cardboard and duct tape. Then place one bucket of ice in front of a box fan(as pictured in a morning/evening link I’m too lazy to dig up) on your home’s lowest level and another at your home’s highest level. Between the cool air descending from the top and the cool air that has slowly accumulated and forced the warmer air upwards, you should be able to reduce the thermostat’s workload required to meet your ideal home temp substantially.
*’the cool air that has slowly accumulated and forced the warmer air upwards,…’
*from the lowest level
Hi. I’m not sure if you’re aware of a place called “Florida”, but the A/C never really goes off.
We usually have that one day in February. I assume that’s what he’s talking about.
What’s A/C?
It’s a 1st world thing. Don’t worry about it.
And you will blow up your entire system due to excess static air pressure, don’t give out bad advise like that, it could cost Thousands of dollars, seriously,
Fuck/ Shakes head
I’ve been doing that off and on for 15 years, including my current house, and have never ruined any heating or cooling system in any way whatsoever.
Not sure what your ranting about.
Don’t listen to him. He just does it for a living.
Just asking why he thought that was a bad idea. Not trying to be belligerent.
Sorry if it came across that way.
If he finds my response below unsatisfactory, I more than welcome him to explain why. Maybe I’ve just been lucky or moved before the consequences of my actions took hold.
*shrugs*
I assumed that you were running the blower while the vents were taped off. If not, it’s fine.
But…. If you’re using ice that was made inside the conditioned space in your house, you’re not coming out ahead. Timeshifting?maybe….
Does four bags of ice you bought at the gas station nearby your home for $5 count? Or would that price not only exceed the cost required to fill up your ice trays enough times to meet the same volume, but also be less cost effective than just holding out for as long as possible then making the AC work overtime to reach its thermostat requirement?
I’d be lying if I said I ever worked on an algorithm to figure that outside of casual monthly heating and cooling bill statements.
I’m just going by thermodynamics. If you’re using ice from a freezer that’s inside your house, it’s a losing proposition. In aggregate, the process heats your house more than it cools it.
If you bought the ice at the gas station, the heat was created somewhere else. Go for it. I don’t know if it’s “cost effective”, but at least it cools the house down.
‘I’m just going by thermodynamics.’
Always a safe default position to take highly probable.
*runs hands over razor shaved head that hides a Vlad Dracul Widow’s Peak, inspects chin hair that is now almost 25% grey, and suddenly realizes that I have tattoos older than a few of my subordinates*
Yeah, entropy is a bitch.
If you meant when a person keeps blocking the vents while you run the AC, yes, you’re correct. But I was saying use that technique a good 6-12 hours before removing the fans, usually overnight, then turning on the AC.
And to the response above about Florida’s temp/humidity, fair enough.
Never been there and assumed you had around two months before AC was required.
I’m going to assume you are sitting in the freezer section at Walmart with the freezer doors open, sitting in a lawn chair, in your tighty whities and a wife beater, drinking natty lite out of a can.
So, have a diet/food question. I’m on board with the idea that one of the main causes of overweight, diabetes, etc. is the consumption of large amounts of carbohydrate. And, following from that, that meat, cheese, etc. are not the evils that we’ve been led to believe. I’ve been working hard to cut back on my carb intake which means dumping bread, potatoes, pasta, fruit in large quantities, etc.
However, I’ve also been recently reading about the idea the acid/alkaline balance and the alkaline diet. From a brief review, it would appear that the number of foods that fit the acid-alkaline diet and also fit the low-carb diet is pretty small.
Do Glibs have any thoughts on this, particularly, the alkaline-acid idea?
*Standard disclaimer they everyone is different in the way their body processes food.
Do Glibs have any thoughts on this, particularly, the alkaline-acid idea
It’s silly.
Yep.
If you disagree, I have some alkaline water I’d like to sell you at a steep markup.
Just go keto. Get rid of the sugars and most of the carbs.
It requires some commitment. Although it becomes much easier over time.
Meat, cheese, (most) vegetables, and nuts are all your friends. Grains are not.
Plus bourbon is keto approved…how can you argue with that?
All 80 proof liquor is roughly similar. It’s distilled. Water, ethanol, and flavor.
True, I just happen to be a fan of bourbon.
Gin, vodka, scotch, tequila, etc. are all good to go.
Dry red wine too. Almost no sugars.
Yup. Dry red wine with dinner, then bourbon after dinner.
^^^THIS GUY GETS IT^^^
SugarFree left us with Rowan’s Creek and Basil Hayden’s. So yeah, bourbon after dinner tonight.
Seconded. Been keto for 9 months, not really for weight loss purposes but I did lose some weight. I started it mainly just to try it out and absolutely love it. I have more energy, I’m more satiated and, it may be placebo, but I feel mentally sharper. The acid-alkaline thing sounds like voodoo; keto has got decades of research backing it. Give it a shot, you’ll feel like crap for 3-4 days and then you’ll be on your way.
PS: Buy the keto strips. They only cost 10 bucks at Walgreens.
Fruit is OK. It’s the grains and starches.
I eat like an absolute pig. No regrets. But I basically eat just meat, green vegetables, and fruits. I don’t do it purposefully, it’s just what I like. A ribeye, broccoli, and asparagus is a perfect dinner to me. If I ate like a pig AND I liked carbs, I’d be in a bit of trouble.
If you want to get tubby, eat the appetizer bread and order pasta for an entree.
Depends how sensitive the individual is. Some fruit can be very high sugar. Berries are usually ok to include into a keto lifestyle.
Do Glibs have any thoughts on this, particularly, the alkaline-acid idea?
Given that the stomach is filled with concentrated acid, worrying about the pH of your food is like worrying about causing coastal flooding by pissing in the ocean.
Also, breathing/carbonic acid.
I have a better way of getting rid of CO2, but it’s… flavored.
Hey, thanks all. Yeah, I skimmed some stuff on the acid-alkaline thing and it seemed off. My warning bells go off whenever a diet claims to be able to stop most disease including cancer. Interestingly, the gym I’m using over the summer is promoting it.
I started eliminating carbs about a month ago, dropping bread, pasta, fries, etc. Hardest one has been not ordering hash browns with breakfast. The rule of thumb I saw on vegetables is that if it grows above ground it’s good, below ground probably not.
PM: thanks for the comment on fruit. Since I’ve just started, I’ve cut almost all fruit although I figure if I can make some headway I can add it back in in small quantities.
On the alcohol front, fortunately my tastes run to Irish Whiskey and single malts* so I’m good there.
*And fine sake when we do sushi.
Thanks again, everyone.
Potatoes get a bad rap. They are a very nutritious food and can be very filling and satisfying.
But do not prepare them with fats. Carb & Fat combos just make you want to eat more. Bake or boil and go easy on the salt.
Or don’t eat them if that is easier, whatever works.
Going back to that McMansion Hell blog….I had never heard of it before, so I’ve been checking it out. It is mostly very funny, but there is something about it that rubs me the wrong way. Hard to say exactly what, maybe the generally smug tone? Or perhaps her constant harping on “that’s too much space!” I have a 1300 sf house – trust me, I would LOVE to have too much space rather than being shoehorned into this house.
She’s very into sustainable bullshit and complaining about “affordable living”.
Some of the stuff is very funny, i.e. columns that “skipped leg day”, but other times, she tries too hard and fails.
How does she feel about Soviet era public housing?
Based off this quote….probably a big fan:
I must say, it will make it a bit harder to take her critiques seriously after reading about her love for hideous Brutalism.
It’s kind of the reverse of the gushing over Tiny Houses. Look, people, I had an 800 sqft house up until last year; it’s not that great.
When I moved from an 800 sq ft house to 1700, I kept a room empty and would just go lay down in the open space.
It was amazing.
