    First

  2. Pan Zagloba on February 13, 2018 at 6:07 pm

    Holy shit, it IS a Big Man Tyrone video?!?!

    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    • Swiss Servator on February 13, 2018 at 6:09 pm

      *grins*

      Sometimes I just bask in the Glorious Light that streams from my fellow Glibs.

      • Pan Zagloba on February 13, 2018 at 6:13 pm

        • Scruffy Nerfherder on February 13, 2018 at 6:16 pm

          Uhhh

        • Bobarian LMD on February 13, 2018 at 11:27 pm

          Makes me feel warm.

    • Heroic Mulatto on February 13, 2018 at 6:10 pm

      I should have told them to pay for the long laugh.

    • Gadfly on February 13, 2018 at 6:15 pm

      Wow, that guy is hilarious. “King of the Internet”, “President of Kekistan”, and owner of the “Happiest Channel on the Internet”. It is highly appropriate that Glibertarians ordered a video from him.

    • Yusef drives a Kia on February 13, 2018 at 6:25 pm

      Is this a Big Thing? it was pretty funny, Good Job HM!

      • Heroic Mulatto on February 13, 2018 at 6:30 pm

        We could have saved money just by using this one. It still works.

        • DEG on February 13, 2018 at 8:08 pm

          It does.

          Good idea ordering a video from him.

    • Count Potato on February 13, 2018 at 8:04 pm

      GREATEST THING EVER!!

  3. Gadfly on February 13, 2018 at 6:09 pm

    I was hesitant to click, since it’s HM posting and all, but the thumbnail looked innocuous so I chanced it. It was a decent video, for once, so now my brain will have to recalculate the risk calculus of clicking HM links.

    • Bobarian LMD on February 13, 2018 at 11:41 pm

      Probably the point.

      Fishermen call it ‘setting the hook’.

      • Chafed on February 13, 2018 at 11:48 pm

        Yup. I kept my eye bleach ready. Next time we’ll need twice the dose.

  4. Troy on February 13, 2018 at 6:10 pm

    Hey. How the fuck can two federal judges stop Trump from stopping DACA. My understanding of DACA is that is an executive order by Obama ordering, among other things, that the not enforcement if federal law. Assuming, arguendo, that I am correct, how the fuck can these judges tell Trump he can’t enforce the law? How the fuck is that not treason? Fuck these judges.

    • Pan Zagloba on February 13, 2018 at 6:13 pm

      Who’s gonna stop them? And how?

      “Should” (and for that matter, “allowed”) is very different from “can”.

      • But Enough About Me on February 13, 2018 at 7:59 pm

        I don’t understand the problem. When Canada’s Supreme Court rules that a Province (for example) has to do something that the provincial government doesn’t like, said Province just ignores the Supremes (cf. R. v. Chaoulli regarding Quebec’s shitty job of delivering timely socialized medicine to the residents of Quebec). I’m surprised that Trump doesn’t just say “Fuck you, we all know that the Supreme Court’s gonna overrule you anyways, so Imma gonna do what I just said I was gonna do.”

        • whahappan on February 13, 2018 at 10:59 pm

          Notwithstanding Clause, right?

      • DenverJ on February 13, 2018 at 8:28 pm

        How many divisions does the 9th Circuit have?

        • UnCivilServant on February 13, 2018 at 8:29 pm

          Are we counting leftist militias and hate mobs?

          • DenverJ on February 13, 2018 at 8:47 pm

            I wish I had a reply so that I could end it with a question mark?

          • DenverJ on February 13, 2018 at 8:50 pm

            Oh I just realized that’s from further down thread. I’ve violated the thread- time Continuum!

          • Number.6 on February 13, 2018 at 8:49 pm

            Can we count clerks and interns?

    • AlexinCT on February 13, 2018 at 6:15 pm

      Look at what kind of judges these are and how often they have their decisions overturned, and you will have your answer..

      • Troy on February 13, 2018 at 6:24 pm

        9th circuit?

    • Heroic Mulatto on February 13, 2018 at 6:16 pm

      The Constitution is very clear in defining treason not as the obstruction of the enforcement of laws, but as engaging in war against the U.S. or providing aid and succor to those who do.

      • Troy on February 13, 2018 at 6:23 pm

        Thanks for the education. Still. Fuck these judges.

      • Don Escaped Texas on February 13, 2018 at 6:27 pm

        Of course: you’re correct about treason.
        Words have meanings, but everyone has a modem, so we’re fucked.

        “The Constitution is very clear”
        Thanks for being one of the few who knows and cares what was “intended.”
        Of course: what the Constitution intended has not mattered in several decades.

        • Heroic Mulatto on February 13, 2018 at 6:43 pm

          The particular definition in the Constitution was written with intentionality. When I was living in Thailand, I learned that one could not criticize the ruling of a judge for a particular case. You see, judges are appointed by the monarch, so to criticize the judge is to critize the monarch, which is the crime of lèse-majesté.

          And I would point out that in this case, it has not mattered in 230 sem-odd years, with the passing of the Alien and Sedition Acts during the Adams administration.

          • Don Escaped Texas on February 13, 2018 at 7:15 pm

            I only realized when I was about 40 that there was no American exception:
            every government is legally interpreting and executing per their constitution;
            if you don’t believe me, just ask them.

            It’s all bullshit: what the military, police, or mobs decide is all that matters.

            I’m thrilled to live in the American South,
            but this can all go away in a heartbeat, in one good riot (election).

  5. UnCivilServant on February 13, 2018 at 6:15 pm

  8. hayeksplosives on February 13, 2018 at 6:33 pm

    Today I learned at a 3 hour off site professional “Women’s Networking Event” that the experience of Women of Color is different than the experience of white women, including among other things, capitalization.

    I postulate that among Women of Color, one could also find a variety, nay, a diversity of experiences, as presumeably one could also find among white women.

    But that is probably just crazy talk.

    (Note to self: Never ever again attend an event of 200 women in a room with echo-ey acoustics. It was like the loudest flock of birds you could imagine. With valley girl affectations at the end of each sentence.)

    • Yusef drives a Kia on February 13, 2018 at 6:36 pm

      Are you in Cali for this event?

      • hayeksplosives on February 13, 2018 at 6:44 pm

        No.

      • hayeksplosives on February 13, 2018 at 6:45 pm

        One need not live in the Valley to have the affected accent.

        I call it question mark voice, where every sentence ends turning up? Like I am asking a question? Or not confident?

        Girl, if you had them, I would kick you in your nuts.

        • Heroic Mulatto on February 13, 2018 at 6:47 pm

          I find myself having to (metaphorically) beat that verbal tic out of my daughter.

          • Heroic Mulatto on February 13, 2018 at 6:49 pm

            And don’t get me started on creaky voice/vocal fry.

          • Naptown Bill on February 13, 2018 at 7:02 pm

            THE VOCAL FRY! My wife is so titled by the fry it brings her damn near to the point of violence. If we’re somewhere someone’s doing it, she’ll do it back as hard as she can and look over at me to make sure I notice.

          • Naptown Bill on February 13, 2018 at 7:02 pm

            *Sorry, that should be “tilted”. I blame the cert.

          • Tres Cool on February 13, 2018 at 7:20 pm

            So, she’s like, a Val ?

          • hayeksplosives on February 13, 2018 at 7:40 pm

            As part of the Women’s Leadership Network at my current employer, I sought out a voice coach a few years ago to come educate about vocal fry and question mark voice.

            It was great. The feedback was terrific, and the effect was immediate.

            We’ve hired 300 young folks since. I think it’s time to get her back in here. Even the young dudes do it now.

          • Tres Cool on February 13, 2018 at 7:50 pm

            +1 tubular

          • Number.6 on February 13, 2018 at 8:08 pm

            What ev errr.

        • Yusef drives a Kia on February 13, 2018 at 6:48 pm

          I just figured since you may come this way they had you doing the network thing here,

          • hayeksplosives on February 13, 2018 at 7:18 pm

            Nah, these guys are so cool that I can’t imagine them forcing me to do something like that.

            I have never had a job interview with so many swear words uttered by the interviewers. And then we went out for lunch and they all ordered beers/cocktails, so I got a Long Island Tea, and then we went back to the plant, had a nice tour, and went to a conference room to do a few hours of real work. By lunch time, my main charmer who had recused himself from the interview got to rejoin us so it was all fun and games from there.

            Good times, good times.

        • trshmnstr on February 13, 2018 at 6:49 pm

          One of my law school profs went off on a girl for that. He tore into her for 5 minutes before stopping and saying “your answer was right, but you project zero confidence. You will get eaten alive in practice if you don’t fix your affectation.”

        • SP on February 13, 2018 at 6:52 pm

          “Uptalking? And uptalking some more? And then even more?

          And then …. dropping to a vocal fry.”

          God, I hate that.

        • Don Escaped Texas on February 13, 2018 at 7:05 pm

          Uptalk = soccer voice

          Girl is told she can do anything,
          told to do whatever she wants,
          but she doesn’t know what she wants,
          or doesn’t insist on what she wants,
          so the parents talk her into soccer
          because soccer is safe and organized and
          because boys play soccer so equality.

          Girl is told she can do anything,
          told to believe whatever she wants,
          but she doesn’t know why she believes (feels) what she does,
          and she’s not a boy who will be praised for bullshitting his way through,
          so, when she doesn’t know how to answer when asked something important
          she uptalks: I’m not asserting this answer because I don’t know,
          but I’m seeking approval for trying
          and hope not to be over-assertive.
          Please like me for being likable
          since I don’t have an answer you will truly respect.

    *sigh*

    So, apparently, my girlfriend will be ruining Valentine’s day. I don’t blame her. I blame those little disease vectors she works with (children). It’s not the flue, but still a nasty cold. She’s so ill, her doctor excused her from work the rest of the week. ? Sad face for the lack of naked time I can expect this week.

    • Brett L on February 13, 2018 at 7:11 pm

    • Heroic Mulatto on February 13, 2018 at 7:12 pm

      If this guy can have sex with a girl while she’s dying of a drug overdose, you can have flu sex.

      • Sean on February 13, 2018 at 7:21 pm

    Resident Florida Residents – how bizarre are basements in your low-lying state?

    • UnCivilServant on February 13, 2018 at 7:44 pm

      Not in “how much oddity is in the basements, but how odd is it to have a basement.

      • Tres Cool on February 13, 2018 at 7:47 pm

        The mean elevation for the entire state is 100′ above sea level, so some people can have basements.

      • trshmnstr on February 13, 2018 at 7:47 pm

        Not FL, but in TX it was unheard of. The ground shifted too much due to the hot and dry summers.

        • Don Escaped Texas on February 13, 2018 at 7:53 pm

          Texas is many different places.

          They’re common in west Texas hills (Big Bend, Davis Mountains)
          and very possible in north Texas (Fort Worth to Palo Pinto)

          but yup: east and coastal (Dallas to Houston): forget about it.

          • UnCivilServant on February 13, 2018 at 7:55 pm

            Good to know. I’ll file that away with all of the little tidbits that might come in handy in the future. (Not sarc)

            Artistic license. As I recall from one of the James Bond movies the villain had a huge underground lair in…New Orleans.

    • Florida Man on February 13, 2018 at 8:15 pm

      I’ve never seen a basement in 37 years in Florida.

      • UnCivilServant on February 13, 2018 at 8:18 pm

        Thanks. Is that because of geologic unsuitability, or the risk of flooding?

        also, where’s this supervillain supposed to hide his secret lab?

        • Tres Cool on February 13, 2018 at 8:20 pm

          In a lair, stashed in the many underwater caves and tunnels that perforate coastal florida?

        • Caput Lupinum on February 13, 2018 at 8:22 pm

          It’s Florida, so a bombed out trailer that looks like a meth lab. Or someplace that requires an airboat to reach. Preferably both.

          • Tres Cool on February 13, 2018 at 8:24 pm

            Note to self- build 1X-wide on airboat hull, send adrift in swamp, profit

        • Florida Man on February 13, 2018 at 8:24 pm

          I think it’s because the water table and flooding. Also, I’m not sure if you can build a basement in sand. I know next to nothing on basements. If your story was in south Florida, I know some people had bomb shelters there.

          • Number.6 on February 13, 2018 at 8:26 pm

            You can build a basement in just about anything if you have the money. The bigger issue is whether there’s any point. If the water table comes high enough or surface drainage is bad, it gets very difficult, very quickly to maintain a dry basement

          • UnCivilServant on February 13, 2018 at 8:28 pm

            Ah, well, I haven’t written more than the start of a planning scene regarding the raid on the location, so I can redesign it readily enough. (but the city’s location is already established in published material, so I can’t move it)

          • Florida Man on February 13, 2018 at 8:30 pm

            You could still use a bomb shelter or instead of being underground a hardened panic room.

          • Number.6 on February 13, 2018 at 8:40 pm

            If I wanted to do that, I’d drop 3 shipping containers down there, weld up the doors, cut thru’ between them as doors and have a walkway up into the building. pour concrete around the containers.

            Should be good for 30-50 years.

          • Florida Man on February 13, 2018 at 8:48 pm

            That’s the thing, if it’s a villains lair, it doesn’t have to make sense.

          • Florida Man on February 13, 2018 at 8:36 pm

            If it’s near Mariana, there is a cave system there.

          • Number.6 on February 13, 2018 at 8:38 pm

            There are a couple of opportunities that present themselves. While a basement qua basement that is the same size as the building would be rare, consider other underground structures which are waterproof. If the building over the required basement is in a commercial/relatively old district you have storm drains, culverts.

            The bedrock under a significant proportion of Florida (the Florida Platform) is limestone and is riddled with subsurface structures, some dry, some water-filled and some seasonal. Overlaying this is softer, modern sediments of varying permeability that could be excavated for a basement, but as noted, would be costly to keep dry. I guess if the prior owner of the house was wealthy and had a good reason to do it, there might be a basement there.

          • UnCivilServant on February 13, 2018 at 8:50 pm

            To both #6 and FM – What I know about the Geography as stated so far.

            Bilgewater and Sandy Shore are twin cities separated by a county line along “lighthouse road” which ends at a spit with a lighthouse on it. Fenris Hill used to be a third, smaller city that shared the county with Bilgewater until it got annexed. It was named for the rise it sat on that got to a lofty 200 feet above sea level. The Building in question, however, is in the Sandy shore area. Sandy Shore is the wealthy, tourist-friendly area, and Bilgewater is the shithole. (both have neighborhoods of varying quality, but the average is as described)

            Whether or not there are caves under the area is unknown, but they sit on the coast, as Bilgewater once had a fishing industry (Another story ends in a defunct cannery), and Sandy Shore has tourist beaches.

            I may end up using “Found a cave and modified it to suit their purposes”

          • Number.6 on February 13, 2018 at 8:56 pm

            Well, the whole of the Florida peninsula will have the capability of having subsurface cave systems – possibly extensive. Drive out the Deep Ones, selectively seal inlets and outlets, and start excavating to create the shape you want.

            It’s hard to defeat the water table though, although obviously, the more shallow the cave system, the drier its going to be.

          • Florida Man on February 13, 2018 at 9:01 pm

            I find that plausible.
            https://inhabitat.com/6-awesome-caves-to-call-home/

          • Number.6 on February 13, 2018 at 9:07 pm

            Florida is a somewhat special case. Limestone has some really specific subsurface characteristics. A lot of the research was done in the Karst region of Slovenia(?) but the general characteristics are shared by deposits in all sorts of places like the Yorkshire Dales and Florida. In Florida’s case, almost all of the geology is subsurface, but in essence, while the rock is pretty porous, tracing subsurface water flow can be very complex. You can put red dye in an underground lake, and it doesn’t appear again for 30 miles, having traversed other underground structures.

            /lecture mode off.

          • Number.6 on February 13, 2018 at 9:08 pm

            Oops – so the point is that you can find subsurface structures which are somewhat dry, surrounded by flooded structures that are nearer the surface.

          • UnCivilServant on February 13, 2018 at 9:09 pm

            I have read way too much on Karst Topography. (A character in another yarn has the Appellation ‘von Karststadt’) What I didn’t know what that the underground substrate of Florida was essentually a buried karstland.

          • Number.6 on February 13, 2018 at 9:12 pm

            OK, so, now you know!

      • Gilmore on February 14, 2018 at 12:22 am

        He’s the same dude – if i recall – who wrote the original “gangs of new york”

          Yes, and that was an interesting book as well.

      • Gilmore on February 14, 2018 at 12:27 am

        my argument about New Orleans is basically this –

        There’s “America” – basically, the colonies, and everything else that happened in the country since the revolution thru ‘mid 19th century’

        and then there’s new orleans – which was for all intents and purposes, a separate country since the 17th century.

        and that new orleans has always been a separate country, sort of like what texans imagine themselves as – you can’t kill or dilute the shit that makes new orleans their own thing.

        its not something that ‘integration’ or the civil war or any sort of development in the rest of america has ever changed.

        its always been this weird little bubble world where the shit that happens there follows nothing but its own rules. and that’s why the music that comes out of there is like nothing else on the planet.

        • Akira on February 14, 2018 at 1:00 am

        Hey Yusef, I’d like to pick your brain if it’s cool. I may build a Brew Shed this spring and am thinking of having a climate controlled closet for lagering. It would be about 18″ deep 30″ wide and 60″ tall with perhaps two zones (stacked). That could hold temps within a degree or two in a range from the 50’s to just above freezing. Is that something I could build from scratch or would I be better off modifying a chest freezer (which seems the common route for home brewers)?

            Ah, thanks, that’s a little pricey for my DIY project. Probably why the chest freezers are the go to solution I am finding on the brewer sites.

      Has Old Style gotten above 5 bucks for a 12 pack yet?

    I guess this was worth the wait. I just wish there was some kind of scam joke written.

    Very excited. M-Flo has finally reunited the Tripod. Sadly just a single for initial release…but a great sound.

    On a similar note, Band-Maid just released their “Domination” album – just not on US itunes yet (and I don’t feel like paying import prices right now)…hopefully soon.

      That Band-Maid is pleasing both to the ears and the eyes.

        However, if I’m not going to understand what a hot woman is singing about I’d prefer it is more metal.

        • Chafed on February 14, 2018 at 12:17 am

          Good band. She scares me.

          • CPRM on February 14, 2018 at 12:20 am

            I wouldn’t want to hang out with her, but if I met her while I was drunk, I’d go to bed with her if she’d have me.

          • Chafed on February 14, 2018 at 12:22 am

            I get it… but I think she is or was possessed.

          • CPRM on February 14, 2018 at 12:23 am

            Just makes the sex into a threesome, I’m not here to judge.

          • Chafed on February 14, 2018 at 12:26 am

            You are braver than me.

    • Chafed on February 14, 2018 at 12:15 am

      I thought they were going to be another Baby Metal. I’m glad to be wrong.

    OT: Just ate some epic beef stew.

    It started when I made the broth: I filled my crock pot with large beef bones, onion tops, leafy celery stalks, a few small cloves of garlic, and some whole peppercorns. I’m pretty sure I had food dreams all night because my house smelled like the richest, most delicious broth in the morning. After I cooled it, there was a lovely disk of fat on top about 1/4 inch thick. I used this fat to saute some mirepoix and garlic, which went back into the strained broth in the crock pot. I then browned 1.5 pounds of stew beef and tossed that in as well. This simmered all day while I was at work, and I just mixed up some matzo balls using some of the beef fat. It was quite an amazing hearty stew. The matzo balls were a bit more delicate than I like them (probably because I put too much fat in there) but they were still delicious.

    What did you late night Glibs cook for dinner?

    • CPRM on February 14, 2018 at 12:11 am

      I had taco bell chalupas for dinner. I had to work in the evening, and only cook when I have other people to eat with.

      • C. Anacreon on February 14, 2018 at 12:27 am

        I still don’t know what a chalupa is, but every time I hear the word I remember the old Taco Bell commercial where the cops tell a guy at gunpoint, “Sir, drop the chalupa.” And then that annoying Chihuahua they used to have was there hoping to lap up spilled food, and backed the cops: “yes, drop the chalupa.”

        • CPRM on February 14, 2018 at 12:30 am

          It’s an Indian Taco shaped like a hard shell taco, if you know what an Indian Taco is

          • C. Anacreon on February 14, 2018 at 12:34 am

            Anything like an Indian Burn?

          • CPRM on February 14, 2018 at 12:41 am

            Indian tacos are pretty much a taco salad on top of fry bread, which is a flat unsweetened doughnut, and a chalupa forms the fry bread into a taco shell shape. Except the tomatoes, I don’t believe any of the ingredients are actually indigenous to AmerIndians.

    • Chafed on February 14, 2018 at 12:19 am

      Big sald with some leftover pasta.

      • Chafed on February 14, 2018 at 12:20 am

        Sald=salad

        • CPRM on February 14, 2018 at 12:22 am

          I got it, us late nighters aren’t big on the whole ‘spelling’ thing.

      Peanut Butter and Jelly Sammich

    I’m having chocolate covered pretzels now, cuz it’s fat Tuesday…and I’m fat

    • Chafed on February 14, 2018 at 12:28 am

      It’s like a sekf fulfilling prophecy.

      • Chafed on February 14, 2018 at 12:29 am

        And I can no longer type. Good night everyone.

    We truly are not worthy.
