If you are within 10 miles of the coast between Charleston and Norfolk, go buy a bunch of water, food that doesn’t need refrigeration, and fill your gas tank if you have less than half a tank. And do your neighbors a favor. Gas up early, not often. People say to keep your tank topped off — please don’t. Go buy a 5 gallon gas canister (or two) and fill that. That will get any car or truck another 50+ miles. If you have half a tank plus that, you can get far enough inland to get gas. It keeps the lines shorter, and lets the tanker fleet run a little more effectively than having everyone in town constantly buying the gallon or two they just burned.
In less depressing news, Florida Man got a chance to tangle with British sailors. Oh wait, the Brits just fought each other, because Florida Man is that scary. Or the Brits are just that polite. Pick your stereotype and run with it.
GOP Gubernatorial candidate resigns from Congress. He says because he’s not going to be in Washington much this fall and it wouldn’t be right to accept his salary. Brett says, “pull the other one.”
Donald Trump, suuuuuper-genius, appears to have saved Jeff Sessions from pointed questions about how Sessions’ testimony before Congress is a little different than what actually happened. Its not so much that he’s playing 8-D chess as that his opponents have only a single response to anything he does.

So that’s what 8-D chess looks like.
Or what it feels like?
People are working?
Seems like it, or they’ve all been washed away by days of rain.
Or prepping for the more rain that is to come
Trying to remember how to do a damn Excel Array Formula. It’s only been about a decade.

I think that’s what I’ll need to use but had to start all over because the Strategy super geniuses keep changing their minds.
Don’t remind me!
No, no. We’re all skipping work to attend anti-Trump rallies.
I am at work. While I am getting paid to do something, my tasks requires that others compete their own tasks. So yes, you might say what I am doing is called, “working.”
I’m at work. We’re cleaning up after the mess we made yesterday.
Turns out that after thirteen hours, you start to overlook details.

This community is full of 1) Mormons and 2) Crazy Anti-Government Types. How do we not have a wealth of SHTF advice already?
Here’s mine for today:
Get canned beans. If thinks are only a little bad, they are better than dried beans because you don’t need to use water to cook them. If things are bad enough that your options are “either drink bean juice or die,” well, it will be nice to have the option.
While you are there, buy a bunch of P-38’s or a new hand-crank can opener.
Here’s mine for long term:
The price on water containers is all over the fucking place. Look for a sale, and then get enough to last your family for two weeks without water service, and you’ll save a bucket of cash.
I like the bathtub bladders, myself. As with last year, there’s not rapid delivery option. I ordered mine 4 days before the storm hit and got it 2 weeks later. But now I have one. Bonus, if your water’s out and you have 100 gallons of water in the bathroom next to the shitter, you can always fill a pail and use the toilet.
Those would be good if you live in a city in an apartment with no storage space. The downfall I see is that you have to fill them up ahead of time. A life saver if you see the disaster coming.
I had one last year but it broke. I really should be preping, but I don’t feel like it.
I’ve got well water, and a generator that can run the pump long enough to fill up the water tank.
All you need now is powdered milk and your favorite cereal. (I’m thinking you like fruity pebbles)

You mean sell your virgin rear-end for two cups of rice?
Objection!
Assumes facts not in evidence.
Whatever you heard it’s not true, and even if it was you have no evidence, that I know of.
I have circumstantial evidence right here.
There’s the sack of rice…
But you have not proof that he was, in fact, virginal at the time.
That wasn’t an accusation. Just wanted to make sure I have enough rice.

That brings to mind something I read about the Holodomor:

Very bad news for Ted: we think a lot alike. Sorry bout that.
I told people this was my Y2K plan. More than a few believed me.
Canned beans are good.
Pinto? Good. Black? Good. Bush’s Steakhouse Grilling Beans? OUTSTANDING.
No love for the RSBs? You’re dead to me.
Ranch Style Beans are the only ones worth eating. It is known.
They require some aftermarket modifications, but I’ll allow it.
I pride myself on cooking from scratch. Bread? Check. Bacon? I a tub that just barely fits in my fridge for this. Home made bologna? You betcha. I even have a big-ass granite mortar like I’m some kind of spice-wizard.
But damn if those aren’t better than any baked beans I can make on my own.
I have people ask me for the recipe every single time.
Do you also have a golden retriever?
My mother has a kick-ass baked beans recipe. Also, my neighbor makes great calico beans.
You misspelled field peas with snaps, although I would have accepted butter beans or purple hull peas as alternates.
I have never seen them on the shelf.
Judging by ‘splosives’ pics, try the ethnic aisle.
I’m kind of surprised that I see them at Walmart locally. It’s the sort of thing I used to have to ship home myself.
Now if only someone would start stocking Nekot lemon creme wafers. Not a fan of the PB ones.
^This guy knows where it’s at.^
I once asked on Facederp for a good BBQ bean recipe, and literally everyone told me to buy canned. Even born-and-raised meat-eating Texans.
My Dad used to make a killer baked BBQ bean dish — even had the funny ol’ bean pot that went in the oven. The old horror never wrote down the recipe, and it went to the grave with him.
Look up Famous Dave’s “Wilbur Beans” recipe. I ripped it off and made it my own. Killer BBQ beans.
Only good thing on Famous Dave’s menu.
Yup.
I’ve eaten there one, and only once.
Lima beans are the debbil!
Really? Maybe I should use them more.
I am still perfecting our bugout bags, which involves bugging out to use them and see how we do.
I have wasted more money on cockamamie prepping schemes than I want to cop to because I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing. It’s easier to prep when you are prepping for, say, job loss. Further, bugging in during a hurricane is different from hunkering down for a tornado, where you know all your preps will be gone if you get hit.
Thing is, when I was reading ZH and SHTF blogs regularly, I lived in a constant state of fear and panic. My stomach was about to eat itself. So I dither over bugout bags.
Re beans: regular ol’ pork’n’beans.
If you move up here to Hoth, prepping is more about shelter in place. The real concern is keeping warm, and practice at that with your significant other is a lot less stressful than hiking in the woods and shitting in a hole in the ground.
We’ve given up on bugging out and instead opted the ‘circle the wagons’ approach. Our home has been affectionately referred to by friends as a compound, and they’re not far off. Long-term food supplies includes live animals on the hoof and a spring fed pond for water.
I think the only thing that would cause bug-out concern is a massive fire encroaching.
Bugging in is always preferable to bugging out, when possible.
I love P-38s!
But I’m not sure they will help much, food-wise.
I thought you meant the P-38 not the P-38.
First pistol I ever bought.
My favorite…I really like the story behind us hiding the technology from the Brits on the whole syncing of the propellers.
I was in Jacksonville fishing this past weekend and saw the carrier. I didn’t fight any limeys. Caught a few mullet, a ladyfish and a sheepshead. Not a bad weekend.
Do they actually have aircraft on that thing? Still using the Harrier or just helicopters?
I only saw it from across the bay, but I didn’t see any aircraft on deck.
From the linked article:
The carrier Queen Elizabeth, which left its home of Portsmouth, England, on Aug. 18, is next destined for Maryland, where two embarked U.S. F-35B Lightning II aircraft from Naval Air Station Patuxent River will make their first landings and takeoffs from the ship’s 280-meter deck.
That’s one hell of of euphemism.
Bowfishing?
Not this time.
Florida does have some excellent hairdos, indeed.
My favorite spot to fish in FL was Ponce de Leon park in Punta Gorda. It’s just where all the residential canals empty into Charlotte Harbor. Strong currents & lots of trees, but good fishing when the tides are rolling.
I haven’t fished down there. I was surf fishing. Tons of bait fish. I kept an eye out for bull sharks.
Never been surf fishing…how far out do you need to cast to be productive? Wouldn’t mind going out some day for the Red Drum
We usually catch reds inland on the salt marsh. For surf fishing you just wade out waist deep and cast out maybe 30-50 feet. You’ll need a wire leader, circle hook and a pyramid weight to resist the current. I like to use shrimp for bait.
You guys and your euphemisms. I just can’t keep up.
Didn’t even have to leave the bar.
I hope my beloved Charleston is spared any damage. The rest of ya yokels? Meh – whatevs.
I don’t think the Brits are planning to dock there. Oh wait, do you mean the hurricane?

Also, there’s drama at the office about a handful of motherfucking web pages that used an unapproved template. Like, director-level phone calls and shit. It’s a motherfucking web page!!!
If it was a web page on a government site, there’s a pretty good chance nobody saw it.
“Hiii Kristen. We need to talk about your web templates.”
In this scenario, I’m more of the Lumberg. “Yeaaaahh, I’m going to have to go ahead and ask you to reconfigure those web pages before I publish them”.
Then my boss got involved. Because dog forbid we have a day without some fucking drama.
My favorite is the fights over coding standards and the people who argue that without standards the code is hard to maintain – the same people who insist on re-writing everything because we should be getting away from last year’s technology. They have no intention of maintaining the code in the first place – because they might have to maintain someone else’s code which means they’d actually have to spend time learning what the code does and why. Their “coding standards” are just a cover for putting new buzzwords on their resume.
Meanwhile, the portion of the code that actually DOES last and get maintained they want nothing to do with, they leave that to the few people that have product knowledge.
All I need is code with reasonably detailed comments, and I’m good to go. Some WP themes I’ve encountered are great “This section performs this function, in conjunction with this other section”. Love that shit.
My thoughts on coding standards:
1) Have some
2) Follow them
3) Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good enough
Its not fucking magic. Ideally each function or subroutine does one thing. If you find yourself writing the same thing twice, make a function or subroutine. If you, the original coder, have to think for more than 5 seconds about what a block of code does, write a comment. Self-documenting code is a myth.
Ah, you haven’t lived until you’ve had to dissect the logic of someone elses script into a visio diagram that would take an architectural plotter to print because there were no comments worth a darn anywhere in the thing, and it was written as though they wanted to apply object oriented principles to structured languages.
Yep. Been there, done that.
When I was writing Perl scripts for my own needs, I’d actually comment out the opening and close braces.
Dammit, you guys found my website?!!?!
(seriously spent 3 months getting all of the approvals required to roll out an intranet site, and people were still bitching about me barging through like a bull in a China shop)
So this “digital media specialist” (i.e. frustrated journalist) created all these web pages for an event tomorrow, in which he used all kinds of code of his own making to break the template, and now I have to wait up and check my email all evening, waiting for him to reconfigure the content into our normal template.
Non-web professionals who know enough CSS and JS to be dangerous are the fucking worst.
TL;DR – As the Post became more and more unpopular and less and less profitable, activist former Post “journalists” decided to start an online SJW clearing house.

ROADSMSSSZZZ
Letter to the editor: Libertarian candidate’s financial ideas don’t add up
Domino’s has the pot holes covered.
So the gubmint actually maintains the roads in Addison County, VT? Because here in MI, no matter how much money I give them to fix the roads, somehow there’s never money to fix the roads. We must have elected a libertarian state house, sentate, and governor without me realizing it. For 30 years running now.
Just imagine how much worse the roads would be if libertarians were running things!
Ah, ROADZ, the ‘checkmate’ to all our silly notions.
On page 10A, if a citizen has paid off their mortgage, then they should not be subject to future taxes on that real estate.
Umm, what?
You’re thinking maybe cut all the budgets just a “little” bit?
Nope. I’m thinking of completely eliminating entire departments and programs, definitely not including the ones that do useful shit like hiring people to fix the roads.
On page 10A, if a citizen has paid off their mortgage, then they should not be subject to future taxes on that real estate.
Umm, what?
I actually really like that idea. A mortgage tax sucks, but it’s better than property tax.
A mortgage tax can be gamed.
a single land tax is better than either of those.
A mortgage tax can be gamed.
Good!
RobC, if you can’t ever accurately determine objectively the value to be taxed, your tax is super easy for the taxing thugs to game.
True. But that is even more true for property tax.
Of course, I figured out how to objectively value it in my gedankenexperiment.
You were wrong, and it was almost as bad as deliberatly swapping between the economic definition of supply with the vernacular definition of supply in attempt to claim a lack of deadweight loss.
Umm…what?
The lack of deadweight loss is straight economic theory.
Last I checked, road maintenance was paid for via taxes on things like gasoline/diesel and via car registration fees. You know, by people that actually use the road.
Not really. Those don’t raise anywhere near enough money.
Sorry. Normally any substantive response to the “MUH ROADZ” argument results in confusion.
I was thinking “Tolls, but how do you prevent people from treating the revenue as a general piggy bank?”
A strong constitution.
While I don’t think it was the right thing to do, when KY built their parkway system, it was tolled, but the tolls were only to pay off the bonds for building the roads and then they were to go away.
And this part I do like: they followed thru. As each parkways bond got paid off, the tolls were removed. KY turnpike/I-65 was the first but the others followed over the following decades.
You have to have politicians who will stick to the promise. And voters who will hold them to it.
The alternative example is the New York Thruway, where the same promise was made, and excuses found to just keep collecting tolls to fund this that and the other thing. Hence my skeptecism on the reliability of such commitments.
I am with you on this, I was just pointing out the oddball example where it worked.
They have to be kidding, right? The old, tired “Muh Roadz!” canard? Really?

RE: The Bolt-on-mustache.
“The United States will not in any way cooperate with the International Criminal Court, national security adviser John Bolton announced in a speech to the Federalist Society on Monday, blasting the ICC as an unaccountable, bureaucratic body that runs counter to the U.S. Constitution and is ‘antithetical to our nation’s ideals.’”
I have an erection.
John Bolton’s Mustache knows his way around a man’s body.

In 1972, Bolton was a summer intern for Vice President Spiro Agnew.

I don’t think there’s a plan here. When life presents you with the opportunity to call someone a sexist and a racist, you have to act.
Of course, they’re being racists against Hispanics (Ramos) and Asians (Osaka).
I believe Ramos is Portugese. He doesn’t count.
And Osaka’s father is a black Haitian.
Well to be fair, what group is more advantaged than half-Haitian half-Japanese people?
With dual Japanese/American citizenship.
Although she is supposed to give up one or the other within the next year or so.

“tone deaf” and “defying” are mutually exclusive.
Wait, is this “Heph’s golden age” or “New management” playboy we’re talking about?
is it really an “era”?
If Trump’s 2 years so far are The Age of Trump, then it is most definitely an era for Metoo.
Clark Wolf, a restaurant and food business consultant based in New York and California, described the decision to reopen the club as “completely tone deaf” given the push for greater gender equality…. “There is a bitter fight going on right now for middle-aged douchey white men to regain power and control and that is going on at all levels of society,” Wolf said.
we go there to get away from fucking dipshits like you, Clark.
Speaking of “middle-aged douchey white men“. . . .
middle-aged douchey white men
Yeah, because we all know that non-whites, and people below middle age never go to strip clubs.
And my experience is that the people who rush to use terms like “douchey” are engaged in massive projection.

The Chicago Bears make me laugh.
Bears fans are idiots. The ownership has shit all over their fans for 50 years running and the fans keep coming back for more. At least when Bill Wirtz shit all over Blackhawks fans, the fans stayed away in droves.
They’ve had a few good teams over the years. They were so good one year, they made a music video about it.
Trubisky looks a lot better than anyone else whose thrown a ball for Chicago in more than 20 years.
Mack did the same thing he did for the Raiders… disappear in the 2nd half. But that happens to a lot of pass-rushers.

This nicely summarizes my feelings on the “tikkun olam” crowd. They commit idolatry to their narcissistic vision of “healing the world” and replace religious tradition with Left-wing politics.
“tikkun olam” is Hebrew for “Can’t someone else do it?”
I hadn’t even known it was Rosh Hashanah until someone made a happy holidays comment regarding it.

Jack Ryan Is a Patriotic Nightmare
“Watching this show feels like falling down a Fox News rabbit hole.”
Writer clearly didn’t watch the show. I just finished it and if anything it promotes left leaning agenda. In regards to the show. It was interesting plot filled with a lot of derp moments. Check your brain at the door if you watch it.
He fights on behalf of the US as opposed to against it.
Therefore: Right-wing, Nazi Faux News propaganda.
You forgot he’s a straight white male.
I thought they did a pretty good job of updating the Jack Ryan story for the post-cold-war, 21st century.
The hostage rescue scene threw me off. I was expecting something different.
On a big government/deep state dick slobbery scale of 1-10, I give it a “24”.
Well, that’s it, give her a raise for her bravery
HE DIDN’T FOLLOW ORDERS. Good shoot, she went home safe, once she figured out where she lived. Totality of the circs. If he didn’t want to be shot he shouldn’t have been in his own apartment in the dark at night.
If she didn’t realize she was in the wrong apartment why would she go check the address? “I better call this in, what’s my address again, I should go look.”
I’m hearing a rumor that there are pictures of them hanging out together, and that she shot him not because she thought he was an intruder but because she was angry at him for something.
Apparently untrue. Doesn’t change that she should be facing a murder charge though.
I’ve heard conspiracy theories (?) that they used to be a romantic item.
Extra sad part of this story:
If he had shot her, which he would absolutely have been justified in doing morally and legally, he would be currently getting railroaded on a Capital Murder charge.
No shit. Pretty much everyone without a flag defaced by a blue stripe realizes that. Different rules for the King’s Men (a Women).
So she’s being charged with murder now, right?
Hah hah right. Wait til she tries to use her
policingthuggery as an immunity defense at the civil trial.Strike tag should have been closed after “policing”
she shot a neighbor whose home she mistakenly entered last week after he ignored her “verbal commands.”
While interesting that she has upped her game a little, I’m still waiting to hear what their relationship was (there is a photo of that supposedly shows both of them at some gathering), how far it was from his apartment to hers, and how she got in to his apartment. Ignoring an off-duty cop’s verbal commands shouldn’t be sufficient justification for the cop to shoot you, unless you were a plausible threat to her safety.
Even if she only knew him as a neighbor – she should have recognized him as a such and maybe connected some dots when he open the door to his apartment. If somehow I got drunk and confused enough to try the wrong door – I’d still recognize any of my neighbors and not immediately murder them.
I don’t know my neighbors.
When I was in an apartment, it took me eight years to realize the Pakistani family I kept seeing lived in the same building. I moved out before we ever had cause to say word one to each other. And this was an apartment where I outlasted several building managers, maintenence crews and whole sets of neighbors whose annoying habits made me rue their existance.
It’s because you don’t know them that they don’t mind putting their garbage in your cans.
I don’t know I had a young coworker get into this exact same scenario earlier in the year. He was out with friends and got blitzed, got out of the Uber at his apartment building and got off the elevator on the wrong floor and tried to force his way into the wrong apartment. He got the shit kicked out of him in the process. Lost a few teeth and got evicted from his apartment and the only reason he avoided criminal charges is the other guy took pity on him and didn’t press them after causing all that damage to the kids face.
So I guess it happens, just not to cops carrying guns
So at what point are they going press charges for the firearm violation. My buddy got the book thrown at him for carrying in a FL bar……or are we to believe she was coming home from a BBQ that late at night?
Disregard, I found way down in the article she was coming home from a shift, I was assuming she was coming home shitfaced.
Both can be true, you know.
I thought of that, I’d be interested to know if they breathalyzer her or drew blood the night of the incident.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
That’s a good one, Bob.
It is now being reported that he didn’t open the door. She tried to put her key in, the door was slightly ajar, walked in, saw a black guy and shot him when he was confused by a white women with a gun screaming at him.
Was that in the initial statement, or a revised version?
How much time passed between the event and the taking of the statement?
Revised; a week.
The whole notion that cops can issue “commands” has always stuck in my craw as a plain 13th Amendment (“involuntary servitude”) violation. Never heard of this objection from anybody but little old me, though.

Hmm. Well, I believe it twice.
“she didn’t realize she was in the wrong apartment until after she shot 26-year-old Botham Jean and went into the hallway to check the address.”
Is is too much to ask for her to do things in the opposite order?
But then she wouldn’t have a plausible deniability claim.
Alright, I get that the floor plan was probably the same. What I don’t believe is that the apartment was identical to hers in every detail – furnishings, layout, wall color, art, etc., so that she had to go out and check the door number to discover it wasn’t her apartment.
She’s in a bit of a bind here on another count: if the apartment was within a few door of hers, its more plausible she went to it by mistake, but less plausible that she didn’t know the victim at all (as has been claimed). The converse is also true.
I have yet to see evidence she was even living in the same complex.
It’s been 15 years since I’ve lived in an apartment building, but,
I knew exactly how many steps down the hallway my front door was. Even when I was fucking wasted. Didn’t even have to look up.
There’s zero chance, and I mean zero chance, that I’d ever accidentally enter a neighbors apartment.
But let’s say that somehow I did. I would know IMMEDIATELY. The door knob would feel different. The door would creak differently. There would be different tables, couches, furniture, and window treatments WITHIN VIEW of the hallway.
It’s 100% bullshit.
I commented a bit above this but I do know a guy who essentially had the same thing happen to him earlier this year so it can happen. Course he was completely wasted and got his ass kicked for his foolishness. The other difference is my friend never actually made it more than one or two steps into the apartment as his key did not open the door and he woke the occupant trying to force his way in so he was met at the door by a pissed off neighbor.
In this cops case it sounds like she actually went into the apartment and wasn’t drunk, even with the lights off she should have noticed immediately that it wasn’t her place.
The only possible explanation that I give any credence to is that she got off on the wrong floor. I can see getting in an elevator hitting 4 instead of 6, or maybe someone on 5 called for the elevator but took the stairs? either way when you get to “your floor’ and the doors open ,you don’t check the that the floor is right, you get out and walk down the identical hallway to the door that should be yours. Where all that falls apart is why doesn’t my key work and why is someone inside and etc etc,
Back when my family lived in a townhouse, a neighbor with Alzheimer’s walked into our house which had exactly the same layout as ours (I guess we didn’t lock the slider). My wife came home – asked the cops and firefighters what was going on – then went inside and found the guy watching TV on our couch. She managed to fetch the cops in to retrieve him without any gun-play.
My mom apparently did that once when she and Dad were visiting my sister down in Texas — well, actually she showed up multiple times on the doorstep next door.
In maybe 2nd grade, we had recess on a day that the temperature was maybe 15 F.
I had my ski mask pulled down to max coverage. When the bell rung to let us back in, I immediately made a bee-line for the bathroom. I pushed thru the door and stutter stepped…”Why is it pink in here?” And then the screaming started.
I about-faced and ran out into the crowd, sure I’d be paddled and sent a note home from school. Because everyone else was bundled up as much as me, I escaped without harm, other than personal mortification.
Same thing happened to me in 7th grade when I got my first wall locker in school. I got home safely, nonetheless
Didn’t wall lockers have, you know, locks? Wouldn’t the fact that your combination didn’t work clue you in?
That’s what made me suspicious and check the number, I was confronted with all this new stuff in junior high, changing classes and all. A lot of pressure for a 12 year old, moving into junior high.
She needed to go into the hallway to check the address? Because she wouldn’t recognize her own home?
More recent update, answering some of the questions above. They are *totally* setting this up for her to be let off.
He supposedly was a rising star at PWC – I don’t think they can sweep this away quite that easily.
I’m sure they’ll find that he once had a speeding ticket and that he got detention in 10th grade for not doing his homework, thus justifying the shooting.
Umm, whose fist action upon arriving home is anything but turning on the light? If there’s not a wall switch, the absense of your favoriate front lamp is going to be a dead giveaway.
Actually, it’s to check the floor for that little matchstick scrap that would indicate the door had been opened.
*adjusts tri-corner tinfoil hat
The affidavit says Guyger was on the phone with 911 reporting the shooting when she turned on the apartment lights and discovered she was in the wrong apartment.
Officer Amber Guyger said she didn’t realize she was in the wrong apartment until after she shot 26-year-old Botham Jean and went into the hallway to check the address.
Which is it? Because it can’t be both.
One detail I don’t think I’ve caught (or retained): What time was it?
Can a cop give commands while in commission of a crime? I don’t understand why the commands are relevant to the case. I understand that they are trying to sway perception, but does that actually hold any legal weight?
If somebody pushes open my front door and starts yelling at me at gunpoint, my first thought isnt cop.
Do you even Balko, dude?
Can a cop give commands while in commission of a crime?
Sure. They do it all the time. You are correct that this is a red herring, though. The commands are irrelevant to the questions of whether a reasonable person would have been in fear of death or serious bodily harm. The scenario being constructed/described gives her a decent shot at getting off, if they can get around the pesky question of why she went to his apartment in the first place, and (now) her apparently inconsistent statements about when she realized she was in the wrong apartment (when she checked the number outside, or when she turned on the lights.
I find it somewhat implausible that she didn’t turn on the lights immediately, BTW.
Jean had good reason to fear for his life.
Huh. So now she’s admitting she didn’t positively id her target when firing? Why am I not surprised.
https://freebeacon.com/politics/trump-keeps-campaign-promise-scale-back-size-epa/
Back in February, the administration fought to reduce the overall budget of the agency by 25 percent. The current budget is currently around $8 million.
$8M? uh, no that’s not correct. sadly, the budget is $8B.
In January, an agency administrator told the Washington Examiner, “We’re happy to be at Reagan-level employment numbers and the future retirements shows a preview of how low we could get during this administration. It would be fair to say anywhere from 25 to 47 percent of EPA could retire during this administration.”
and as soon as there’s a Dem POTUS, those “vacancies” will be filled by young true believers who will be in those jobs their whole lives.
“The current budget is currently around $8 million”
If only…
Give the people what they want.
Just rename the agency as ICE and then close it down.
Rinse and repeat. Education, Commerce, IRS…
^^^Bobarian for President!
That’s the problem with any attempts to shrink the beast. With the baffling exception of Trump and Obama, any subsequent administration can undo the actions of the prior. If a government agency shrinks though executive action or inaction, like simply not filling vacancies, the next administration will simply staff it back up and then some with some excuse like needing to complete the backlog of tremendously important work (eg reregulating industries out of profitability) which lay fallow under that evil job cutting admin.
The only way to seriously trim the fat long term is via a Constitutional amendment of some sort. Maybe a limitation on the total federal non-postal civilian workforce to no greater than 0.5% of the number of US Citizens, whether living in the country or somewhere abroad. At 330m (which is probably high), that would limit it to 1.65m, about 12% smaller than it was in 2004. How many people think we didn’t have enough federal workers in 2004?
*Notices the word ‘civilian’*
*shelves joke about ‘3rd Postal Army’*
“Maybe a limitation on the total federal non-postal civilian workforce to no greater than 0.5% of the number of US Citizens”
Wouldn’t matter. There are statutory (not constitutional, but still) limitations on the size of the IC workforce and they just stack up with contractors instead.
Workforce = employees plus contractors.

Here’s an NYT article bemoaning empty storefronts because rents are too high.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/09/06/nyregion/nyc-storefront-vacancy.html?action=click&module=Editors%20Picks&pgtype=Homepage
Of course, the commie rag manages to get through the entire article without mentioning building permits and the cost of them, the taxes, the cost of business licenses, etc. Nor does it ever mention directly (it only alludes to) the fact of retail life: a new or completely rebuilt/remodeled store will usually kick the ass of old ones. A few people may say they like the “grit” of the old stuff, but that’s strictly for their own personal nostalgia trips – even those people will frequent the new stores because it’s human nature.
A nearby small-town grocer had recently changed hands, and the local rag ran a fluff piece hyping the new owners. After reading the article about how amazing this place is, I decided to give it a try. The place was a dilapidated piece of shit. The produce was old and shriveled. The meat was poorly cut and of unlabeled grade (so I’m guessing Select). I immediately left and headed to Kroger which seemed like a paradise by comparison.
The local grocery store is surrounded by small farmers producing both produce and meat. I must have passed 4 farmers selling inexpensive, fresh picked produce out of their trucks. I would have thought the owners could have used the local niche thing to their advantage by working out a deal with any of the 1,000 farmers in a 20 mile radius. Apparently, they prefer having their merchandise reflect their building.
zoning also not mentioned, I would guess.
These ideas are all crap.

Woke up with a cold yesterday. Seemed to zero right in on my lungs. Zero sleep last night because if I lie down, I can’t breathe too well and start coughing. Got in about a half day of work, and then went to sleep after taking some Robitussin. This really sucks, hope I don’t haven bronchitis.
That used to happen to me every fall. Turns out it was a ragweed allergy triggering asthma, which would let congestion hang around in my lungs until I got bronchitis. The doctors didn’t figure it out until I went to the emergency room convulsively coughing up blood with low blood oxygen. They said “How long have you had asthma?” and I was like “Asthma? WTF?” Inhalable steriods in the fall have really help me out. Haven’t had bronchitis since.
I have severe seasonal allergies, so you might be right. It could actually be ashtma, so maybe it is that and not a cold. It sucks whatever it is, the shortness of breath is very uncomfortable. I guess maybe it’s time to go back to the doctor. I hate doctors. I want to live in a world where I just plug myself into my home med system and it fixes shit and doesn’t talk to me.

I think she actually looks like that.

Just because the way she looks conforms to old, racist caricatures doesn’t mean that this is a racist caricature.
Then again, I don’t think it would have mattered either way. He could have drawn her to look like Naomi Campbell and people would still be calling him a racist. That’s what happens when you water the word down to meaninglessness.
I certainly agree it’s been watered down by overuse. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist though.
It is kind of racist to depict Naomi Osaka as a skinny blonde white bitch, when she is clearly Blackanese.
The straight hair was a bit on the nose.
Political cartooning is the pedophilia of art.
Lol.
Mentioned this earlier, but Osaka was on Japanese TV and apologizing to the fans for the unfortunate way the match ended. You heard that right, Osaka apologized. *SMDH
Japanese politeness gone too FAR. DH
Dangit, SMDH twice now.
“US actor Gene Wilder, remembered by many for his lead role in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, has died at the age of 83, his family has confirmed.
The comic actor also starred in classic films such as The Producers, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.
Wilder frequently collaborated with writer and director Mel Brooks as well as stand-up comedian Richard Pryor.
The actor died on Sunday in Stamford, Connecticut, due to complications from Alzheimer’s disease, his family said.”

DAMN! I loved his acting, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein tonight!
RIP
People just keep dying. I’m starting to see how this ends. I find myself the only non-woke alive in a woke world.
We’re all dying Hype, just at different rates,
I refuse to go gentle into that good night. Government is going to fork over all the medical care and SS they got left. I’ll drain them bitches.
I’m gonna be a Toaster, so I won’t need the SS for too long….
How old is that?
Didn’t he die a year ago?
[checks a movie blog that should have the info]
Cripes! It’s been two years! 🙁
Article from 2016.
The guy was a true golden comic.
Thankfully, we still have Lou Reed.
Didn’t he die a couple of years ago?
**HEAVY SIGH**
Always refresh first. ALWAYS refresh first.
At least you beat Spud to the punch.
Barely. Barely.
Holy necro link! That was September 2016.

lol. the comments.
“I haven’t heard someone talk so eloquent for 2 years” if that doesn’t light a Ted signal I don’t know what will, where did these people get their edumacation from?
You don’t think the posting of a two-year old article lit the Ted Signal?
“talk so eloquent” C’mon Ted, that’s horrid language
I started watching. But I just can’t.
I tried.

Well, it’s not like he wasn’t already trolling.

“Anarchy: What It Is and Why Pop Culture Loves It
It’s a complicated philosophy that’s more than just a punk rock phrase.”
https://www.teenvogue.com/story/anarchy-explained-what-it-is-why-pop-culture-loves-it
Let’s get back to the anal sex plz.
I’m guessing what’s-him-name took it all to Out magazine, where it totally wasn’t before.
Anarchy is a cool idea for the younger generation, because they don’t have to deal with it’s consequences. It’s all cool to be a rebel while you’re living in your parents basement. That’s all cool to do that why you are protected by entities that would not exist if there was real anarchy. In which, instead of starting a punk band and acting all revolution, you would probably shortly die a brutal death.
Glad to know how Anarchism intersects perfectly with anything but capitalism.
Anarcho-communism is the bestest
By bestest I mean “most unlikely to result in anything other than mass graves”
Don’t have to worry about any laws, government, or the gritty details if you’re the only one left standing in the community.
They’re all big government socialist. They don’t have a clue.
Well, thankfully everyone (but 1 person) managed to make it home safely.
“As an officer was attempting to remove him from the vehicle, the officer fired his weapon, striking Gregory in the right shoulder – the bullet entering his chest.”
Oopsie.
“Weirich said that an officer charged with using deadly force “does not need to prove that he or she was justified in using such force, but instead the prosecution would have to prove that the deadly force was not justified.”
Seems backwards.
No, that seems right. I’m sure in a self-defense shooting you’d be afforded the same shall we say extravagant benefit of the doubt.
According the story they are telling, they would have been justified in shooting him, but still managed to fuck it up and have an accidental discharge. Its a miracle they didn’t shoot the passenger instead.
And that presumption that a cop is justified in shooting someone does seem a little odd. Not the same standard that is applied to us serfs, who have to prove up self-defense.
Negligent, not accidental.
Translation: People are all irredeemably bigoted and racist.

I actually think this dovetails nicely into Leap’s article at midday. It also shows why individual liberty and free markets are the best remedy for any kind of intrastate strife.
I don’t see what’s so complicated.
Even Canada seems to be burning up for Maxime Bernier. Bernier is an independent/conservative who considers himself libertarian.
Read that carefully: There’s potential Canada has a libertarian either as leader of a major party or…PRIME MINISTER before America does.
God has some sense of humour, EH?!
Wait, what? I thought Canada was our 51st state.
Isn’t it 58th?
Obama said there were 57. And we all know he’s never wrong.
Well, I just told Mrs. trshmnstr about y’alls affinity for squats, and she promised that GlibFit 3.0 will include a legs day to make Warty proud.
Wait a minute… what even in the fuck?
CT man arrested for firing weapon in own home
“Christain Devaux, 25, is due in court on Sept. 11 on five counts, including the illegal discharge of a firearm”
Is CT still in the US? Are you telling me that you cannot even fire your own weapon inside your own home if you think you see an intruder? Or are ghosts a protected species in CT?
Depends on which of the charges they pile on actually stick.
How the hell is it even illegal to fire your weapon inside your own home? I mean it sounds like ‘illegal discharge of a firearm’, you can own a firearm as long as you don’t use it?
…you can own a firearm as long as you don’t use it?
Sounds like the ideal Canadian compromise, actually. :-/
It just says “illegal discharge” – maybe discharge is legal under certain circumstances? I dunno – just seeing multiple ways to read that.
I thought I saw an intruder and so I took a shot, in my own home? Granted, the shooter is a moron who thinks he was shooting a ghost. I fail to see how that matters. I am way too damn close to the New England. New Commiefuckistan is more like it.
Literal LOL
Er….isn’t that a helmet infraction on Stafford?
Not sure. Don’t the Jets have a new millennial QB rookie who is totes woke? If so, then no, not a penalty. I mean, I’m not sure if the rumor is true, since the Lions cannot get their offence off the field. Now if the Lions would have kneel’d harder, then they may have gotten a few woke points. In the near future, no matter what the final score, the actual victor will be determined by woke points. I can’t wait to see that, NOT.
