Happy Friday, everyone. I’m taking apart a dryer. Hooray. Just what I wanted to do after four grueling weeks of work. But seriously, if its a $7 thermostat, I’m going to count it a win, and if it isn’t, I’ll throw all the pieces in the drum and have the whole damn thing carted off. Congratulations to the Red Sox. Its easy to see how they won 106 games. Keep on with the circus catches against the NL, please.
Listen, if you win the lottery tonight, please send us $50.

Men, its your fault women get fat.

This has been in my head all week, now you can have it.
Friday of Females with Fantastic Fronts!

I think 15, 21 and 25 will be sufficient.
With all of the catcalls and micro-aggressions these women must experience, they will turn fat faster than you can say “Mamma Cass”
The one time a ham sandwich should have been indicted…
I LOL’ed
I used to be totally ripped, but then all the female gaze made me so self concious that i coudn’t work out. Thats why i’m a thin 97 lb weakling. Yeah thats right.
And without the pipes as a backup.
John and Mitchy were gettin’ kind of itchy
Just to leave the folk music behind
Zal and Denny workin’ for a penny
Tryin’ to get a fish on the line
In a coffee house Sebastian sat
And after every number they’d pass the hat
McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin’ higher
In L.A., you know where that’s at
And no one’s gettin’ fat except Mama Cass
If you’re ever in Charlotte Amalie, St Thomas, you can stroll down Creque Alley, which this song us named after. The Mamas and Papas were hippies singing for beer money in the Virgin Islands before they hit th he big time, several of their songs reference this time in their lives.
If Mama Cass had just shared her sandwich with Karen Carpenter, they’d both still be alive.
That’s real food for thought.
A theory you can sink your teeth into.

I have always wanted to fight a three front war.
so the dryer completely stopped working?
Nah, just wasn’t heating. I took the element out and you can see where a coil snapped. Good continuity on the thermostat and thermal fuse. Also, thank goodness for Youtube. The official Whirlpool site had you disassembling the back and the drum. Then some other guy was like “pull these 2 screws out of the bottom front panel and these two inside and the whole thing just comes out without moving the dryer! (But I did unplug it. Safety First!)
gotta love old appliances. i’ve replaced parts inside my Kenmore three times now: drum rollers, fuse, and blower wheel. so easy and the parts are so cheap.
When one is not hearing, it’s usually one of three things.
The vent is stopped up so that the airflow switch isn’t seeing flow and allowing the heating to come on.
The airflow switch is bad
The heating coil is open
Knowing that will get you through 90% of dryer problems.
How about when it won’t shut off? The timer never runs down on ours.
Thays probably your timer switch.
Probably buy a new dryer for what one of those cost.

$45 heating element! I can get a brand new one overnighted for $68. Trying to convince my wife that I should get the $430 difference between new heating element and new dryer.
Honey, turns out the heating element is going to be $498, and for some reason I need to pick it up at something called an “NFA registered dealer.”
Saving that for next time.
And spend it on hookers and blow… or just lottery tickets?
Good luck. My wive didn’t go for it when I replaced the MAF sensor in her VW. $200 more + labor if she went to the dealer.
It’s a VW. You’ll probably have to replace the MAF again in a few months anyway.

The alt right it pointing out how their political opponent transmit ideas in bite-sized chunks, and those chunks get used an reused in online slap fights, which have a short life span and are not particularly responsive to actual arguments or communication.
In other words alt-right is making an argument that using memes = stupid.
“In other words alt-right is making an argument that using memes = stupid.”
Are they Making that argument or just demonstrating the case study of it…

The version I’ve read is that many leftists instantly pivot from one position to another depending on what the hive-mind tells them to promote, such as going from painting McCain as the next Hitler to sainted bipartisan statesman.
Naturally, because they believe what they are told to believe, they struggle to articulate why they think the way they do when they are cornered into a debate.
And this makes them appear like puppets who can’t think for themselves. Which, in a role playing game is basically a Non Player Character controlled by the dungeon master (or NPC for short) .
Of course, they project this onto libertarians and conservatives. They actually think ‘group think’ is rampant in *our* ranks.
Lol.
I was gonna say the same thing until you said it, but now i feel the desire to disagree with you…. /Much more realistic Libertarian.

Pretty much what tarran said, only I think the NPC reference is to video game NPCs. Your interactions with them are always the same within a narrow range, as NPCs are basically placeholders/useful idiots.
I think its pretty clever, actually. It captures the shallowness and unthinking/programmed babble that SJWs and misc. proggies emit, and the total lack of recall or awareness that today’s babble is inconsistent to contradictory of yesterday’s babble.

In the recent hex thread, along the lines of “responding in kind”, I had the idea for an amazon compute based auto-hexing system, easily scale-able to the terahex range, sufficient to hex the world’s population 10 times per second. Applied to a single person, the results would be (theologically) devastating.
That’s basically how a reflection-based DDOS works.
Damn now I want to play Mage again.

Everyone does it.
I’d agree that everyone is capable of resorting to it. I think it’s a little less common among conservatives and, particularly, libertarians. Progressives can skate through life without having to seriously engage another opinion or outlook relatively easily. All of pop culture gives them a support infrastructure for their beliefs and principles. And all of pop culture gives them a social support system to alter their views as demanded by the circumstances of the day. Feel uncomfortable criticizing conservatives for doing something you were lauding liberals for doing just a short time ago? Don’t worry. Turn on Maddow and she’ll explain to you why they’re totally different situations. Turn on Colbert or Fallon or Oliver will make you laugh at just how awful those righties really are.
It’s been shown that conservatives and libertarians understand liberal arguments better than vice versa. There’s a reason for that. They’re inundated with the same pop culture as progressives. They’re explained the other side of the story ad nausuem. It’s relatively easy for them to go out and meet progressives. We have a broader view of the world.
Digital motor controllers. Welcome to the world of the variable frequency drive, or VFD for short.
Hey Lach, thanks for the explanation in the other article!
So it’s a “digital” motor because the VFD sends a square wave to the motor and uses the duty cycle to adjust speed?
VFD *controller
” variable frequency drive VFD for short”
Pretty sure i saw that those drives were debunked as breaking the laws of thermodynamics.
Varying the duty cycle uses less power than a resistive element.
This basically answers the entire line of questioning I had planned. Thanks Potato!
Pretty much. The motor gets simulated A/C voltage in the form of a square wave. For a standard 3 phase 480 volt electric motor the DC in the VFD is about 650 volts. The length of time the positive and negative pulses stay on determines the RMS voltage seen at the motor and the frequency of the pulses determines the speed of the motor. Higher frequency means higher speed. Lower frequency is lower speed.
One neat thing about this technology is that it can output zero frequency, or DC. When DC is applied to an AC motor, torque is generated but not speed. 100% torque at 0 speed is a brake.
The length of time the positive and negative pulses stay on determines the RMS voltage seen at the motor and the frequency of the pulses determines the speed of the motor.

“What are NPCs, the popular new far-right meme?”
Why is everything far-right? As far as I can tell, it was largely started and perpetuated by centrists.
It’s to the left of Marx, so it’s far right.

Excellent. As I mentioned when all that was going down, I don’t think there’s an explanation of their behavior that doesn’t violate ethics. They either suborned perjury, and/or they misrepresented what their client said, and/or they were not representing their client’s interest at all, but someone else.
“I don’t really understand this. NPCs? Non-player Characters? What?”
Gamers have pointed out leftists are like your usual NPCs in video games . If you interact with them they are limited to what they were programmed to do. Get outside those boundaries and the NPC simply can’t interact and might even act like a fool or attack you. Since leftists break down mentally and emotionally when anyone forces them outside their usual leftist programming, calling them NPC is actually not a bad analogy.
For all those who miss debate and are worried we are an echo chamber, I give you, in a command performance, everything Tulpa wrote in TOS Morning Links. (Please note, all instances of “Fuck off, Hihn” are to the commenter “Robert” who is not Hihn or Hinh-like in any way. All references to crying and sex with children are to the commenter “Cathy L”)
Leave the lepers in the leper camp! We don’t need their disease migrating over here!
(in seriousness, what a fucking tool tulpa is.)
Yeah, I don’t believe that is the real Tulpa. The real Tulpa could troll a lot better than that.
The real Tulpa is probably both ‘Robert’ and ‘Cathy L’.
And all of you, of course.
Tulpa would say that.
I made a clean break from that site.
Whatever happens over there happens. Do not try to tempt me with nostalgia.
Fuck off Tulpa.
So did you send him a personal invitation to come here or will copying his highlights become a regular feature?
It is tempting fate. But SP will smite him hardily.
Yep. Really missing out on the erudite conversation there.
This is like the worst collection of fortune cookie fortunes I’ve ever seen.

Oof. Cathy L.

Now that is one heck of a discussion…
Wat… there’s an actual “Tulpa” again?? Hard pass.
Maybe real, maybe not. Who knows? It’s a carnival of delights.
The little bit I’ve seen of it over there, he seems more like the old Mike (of BLOCK YOMAMMA fame).
He sounds…familiar.
Exactly what I was thinking.
A coworker just walked by my office and decided to start bitching about his day. I gave him ~20 seconds grace period followed by “I’m not bitching about my day to you, am I?”. He shuffled off pretty fast.
old news but kind of interesting.. turns out the ABA didn’t change it’s “qualified” rating of Kavanaugh. it was just the President of the ABA acting lone wolf.
https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2018/09/28/wow-it-turns-out-the-american-bar-association-story-on-brett-kavanaugh-was-fake-news/
“The correspondence by Robert Carlson, President of the American Bar Association…was not received by the American Bar Association’s Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary prior to its issuance…The ABA’s rating for Judge Kavanaugh is not affected by Mr. Carlson’s letter.”
… so they’re going to censure him, right?
Oh wait! This is the left. They’ll give him a medal.
Love the callback to the last post in the front page picture, as I believe that is a Springfield M-14 leaning against the wall.
OT: I think I’m finally losing the drive to debate proggies on social media. Reality is subjective to them, and after having been “proved” wrong about how unemployment is critical to the federal deficit (trust me, I lost brain cells reading the “proof”, and more when I was told how I was proved wrong), I just don’t think I have the mental reserves to keep it up.
Their goalposts will always move, and they are masters at using emotions to try to make it look as if they are in the right. Only argue with them if you are into masochism.
“Reality is subjective to them, and after having been “proved” wrong about how unemployment is critical to the federal deficit”
I’m confused. Were you arguing that or they?
Its brain-dead stupid, so I’m going with “them”.
Thanks for the vote of confidence!
One of them was. I had dropped a parenthetical aside about how unemployment was dropping, and then Proggy #1 went off on that tangent. I tried to rein it back in, by asking how unemployment was germane to the federal deficit, at which point I was accused of changing the subject. Just for fun, here’s the “proof”:
NOTE: I didn’t “use [job numbers] to justify the tax cuts”. I noted that unemployment was lower, and mentioned an article (that I probably saw linked here) about large numbers of open jobs, all of which occurred after said cuts. Again, all of this in the context of the rising federal deficit (and I was gauche enough to mention that SS, Medicare, and Medicaid were the biggest chunks of the budget).
“justify further filtering money toward the wealthy”
Not taking is giving.
I hate it when they try to make up some pseudo-intellectual bullshit. Just be honest and say “I think people should be free to sit on their asses and collect money from the government and the people who still work should be forced to pay for it”.
Although I suppose it could be said that it’s not pseudo-intellectual, in the sense that it’s just rehashed Marxism. But it’s usually dumber than Marxism, which is impressive because Marx didn’t set that high of a bar.
If I wanted to be lectured at by some smug prick, I’d go back to TOS.
My grandmother was a sociopathic gaslighter extraordinaire.
I know better than to argue with progs. The ones who aren’t sociopathic gaslighter extraordinaires serve as the mouthpieces.
I want to write an article called “The Gaslighting of America” that goes into the timeline behind the “Russia Coluzun” Conspiracy.
The worst part is *some* of the ones I end up crossing words with are people that I used to work with, and (at least in the domain of work) were pretty sharp. How their brains can shut off completely when dealing with government truly blows my mind.
It’s because they always start at their conclusions and work backwards. To your ‘friend’ above it’s obvious that he/she/xe has a deep antipathy to whoever they consider the “rich” to be and will go through whatever mental gymnastics are necessary to arrive back at their conclusion. Churchill’s quote about “the gospel of envy” could not be more spot on; that mindset is more analogous to religion than to anything resembling reason.
SP noted I don’t tweet much (especially compared to how much I was tweeting before Trump). I was running with writers and readers mostly, and I just can’t stand what people I liked, respected, sometimes loved have become. They are mindlessly hateful and will turn on someone in a hot second, no matter their history with that person, if said person doesn’t toe the prog line.
It was always a little tough for me, but since I put my politics in my books, everybody made room for me to be my libertarian self and disagree politely. Now I just don’t like seeing how far people I enjoyed once have devolved into prog banshees.
Ahem…
towthe prog lion
FIFY
I wondered who’d be first…
On a serious note I think political poo-flinging and group beat-downs on social media have been building all along and Trump just gave it the bump it needed for a crescendo. it’s the perfect forum for a sustained mob mentality.
IMO the term ‘social media’ is akin to phrases like “ministry of truth.” It’s the exact opposite and on the whole is degrading our interactions
Glibs excepted of course. The general civility and thoughtfullness here is truly an intertubz outlier.
I don’t consider blogs (particularly ones used more as forums) to be social media.
But yes, I enjoy you all very much and feel my time here is not wasted.
How their brains can shut off completely when dealing with government truly blows my mind.
It’s almost as if, on the subject of politics, they act like non-player characters from video games.
I know “progressives” who are pretty smart in many other areas of life. I think there are a number of possibilities:
– They stand to gain something from “progressivism”, either more money for themselves (employees of government, solar/wind firms, leftist advocacy groups, etc.)
– They want to appear caring and compassionate to others, so they loudly express support for the causes
– They become over-emotional when it comes to subjects like poverty or racism, and it the rational part of their brain is crowded out by the emotions
None of these are necessarily incompatible with intelligence.
Nobody changes their mind. It’s just pointless.
I have rarely found the arguments to be productive. The first problem is that you’re basically speaking two different languages. Beyond having totally different definitions of “freedom” and “right”, you’ll have totally different definitions of “poor”, “wealth”, “responsibility”, “society”, “banking”, “corporation”, etc. The next problem you’ll generally run into is that your cynicism is nihilistic but their cynicism is pragmatic. Then you’ll run into the problem that any group you don’t heap lavish praise on is a group you are hateful and bigoted against, while any group they criticize, caricature, ridicule, or otherwise don’t respect deserves it and more. If you’re still left after that point, you’ll be called a heartless idiot who secretly yearns to live in Somalia, because the only choices are communism or failed communism, apparently.
That having been said, this only characterizes arguments with certain people. There are lots of honest lefties, you just generally have to find them IRL rather than online.
I posted this the other day when a thread was near dead. Reposting as I thought it was interesting and might spark entertaining commentary.
I’ve been reading up on the short lived Bavarian Soviet Republic. It’s a hidden gem in history. For 6 days the republic was led by Ernst Toller. So much of what he did reminds me of modern day socialists. His police president was a former burglar. His transportation minister was a railroad tracks worker. Best of all his foreign minister Franz Lipp was literally insane. He declared war on Württemberg and Switzerland because they refused to allow him to borrow 60 locomotives. In a telegram to the Pope and Lenin proclaiming victory over the previous Bavarain socialist leader Johannes Hoffman, Lipp went off on a tangent complaining that Hoffman stole the key to the ministry bathroom when he fled.
” Dear Colleague ! I have just declared war on Wurtemberg and Switzerland , for these dogs had refused to lend me sixty locomotives. I am sure we will win. Moreover, in view of our victory, I will ask the Pope’s blessing – I am on good terms with him. ”
“Proletariat of Upper Bavaria united in joy. Social democrats, independent socialists and communists gathered like a hammer, Peasants League with them. Liberal bourgeoisie, valet of Prussia, completely disarmed. Hoffmann (de) fleeing to Bamberg, where he took away the bathroom key of my ministry. Prussian politics, of which Hoffmann is the lackey, is trying to cut us off from the Berlin-Leipzig-Nuremberg area, Frankfurt and Essen coal. At the same time, they try to discredit us with the Entente as bloodthirsty dogs and looters. Meanwhile, Noske’s hairy gorilla hands are dripping with blood. We receive coal, and we receive a great deal of food from Switzerland and Italy. We want perpetual peace.Emmanuel Kant , Towards perpetual peace , 1795, theses 2-5. Prussia considers the armistice only in view of war of revenge. “
I read it. Stealing the Bathroom Key is pretty classic.
Aglie Cyborg’s original human form?
I could have sworn I read in the Wikipedia article that Hitler was (tangentially?) involved, but it wasn’t mentioned when I went back to check. That would have been my contribution.
Rudolf Hess was in the Freikorps, who came in killed all the Commies ending the Soviet era.
From wiki: [Anton Graf von Arco auf Valley, the assassin Kurt Eisner, head of the preceding People’s State of Bavaria] served his sentence at Landsberg Prison in cell 7, and in 1923 he was evicted from his cell to make way for Adolf Hitler
Eisner was the original soy boy prototype. He wanted to rule with kindness. Everyone knows socialism can’t be enforced kindly, you need an authoritarian.
His police president was a former burglar
Eugène François Vidocq
As a former lawbreaker, he was head and shoulders above the career cops?
and apparently his two russian commie replacements were known for their public orgies?
what a wild time to be alive, 1919
Communist orgies. Does that mean you have to wait in line for a week to get your meager ration of action?
And take who they give you.
Yes. And it also means that you have to spend at least a couple of hours with Big Bertha because it’s not right that all of the men want to bed the hot chick.
Damn, I hope The Great War channel does a special on him, even though he’s technically outside their purview.
On one hand, they could keep going through signing of Versailles Treaty. On the other, they started the WW2 channel a year ahead of what would be reasonable schedule so I think they’ll wrap up The Great War by the end of the year.
I’ve gotten hooked on the Great War channel recently. I watch it as I do chores, get ready for work, etc.

I live 45 min from DPG, we should have met up. There’s a good brewery in Tooele. Oh well.
I know the Bonneville Brewery well. And Zach the Bartender knows me!
Do you live in Tooele?!?
Yup! Bonneville Brewery is fantastic.
Holy cow, we will definitely be meeting up then. I have been spending at least one week per month out there.
Dugway is one of the places i take “Don’t touch the stuff” very seriously…
I was at the track in Tooele a couple months ago for a race. I had no idea there was a decent brewery nearby. But I have to ask if this is one of those places where you order “orange juice” and then have to drink it upstairs.
Hahah, the Bar is actually upstairs, but It a nice loft/Balcony with a view of the Salt Lake.
Do you work at DPG, Leon?
I agree that Bonneville Brewery’s upstairs bar is a good spot. Bonus: no kids. Zach sees me come in and immediately makes a gin and tonic with 1.5 oz gin (max allowable there) and a side of repesado for me.
No, but i go out once or twice a year for shoots with the guard.
Don’t forget today is International G&T Day!
You should have brought your own booze with you.
On the Army base, the bar serves real booze, and sometimes we just bring our own and drink in a suite.

“Leftist Rosie O’Donnell said she wanted the U.S. military to “get” President Donald Trump during an MSNBC panel discussion on Thursday, saying that Trump was “evil” and “dark.”
“What I wrote on Twitter was we should impose martial law until we make sure the Russians weren’t involved in the final tally of the votes,” O’Donnell continued. “People were like, ‘martial law, what’s wrong with you? You are a lunatic …’ I want to send the military to the White House to get him.”
MSNBC analyst Eugene Robinson laughed and said that O’Donnell’s wish was a “pretty good idea.””

Not this shit again.
was a “pretty good idea.”
If by pretty good, you mean treasonous, sure.
To be fair, it’s not treason if you win.
Sure. The Army and Marine combat arms are full of New York liberals – that’s who joins up and volunteers for the Infantry.
That’s what always gets me. Their heads are so far up their asses with contempt for the average solider that they view them as mindless automatons that will follow the orders of their “betters” without question. I mean, how could they not? They’re the ones not “smart” enough to go to college. They know their place, of course. Of course your average infantryman is going to follow your orders to confiscate all the guns from the yokels (i.e., their dads, uncles, and cousins).
Cops, on the other hand, would gleefully do so, and then eat out Rosie O’Donnell in gratitude.
“Of course your average infantryman is going to follow your orders to confiscate all the guns from the yokels (i.e., their dads, uncles, and cousins).”

Those guys will go to their own houses and confiscate their own guns if so ordered.
Eh, the trick is to criminalize it first, so that the people are now dangerous felons. See use of the NG for Counter Drug Support.
Thats a REALLY good point. Has there ever been a legal challenge to Counter-Drugs’ legality under Posse Commetatus?
I’d say that’s fair, And the amount of Cops in the Guard also gives some members a predisposition to say FYTW
I’m in the the Guard and many of the LEO’s (in their full time job) talk in hushed and serious tones about the grave threat to peace posed by Sovereign Citizens. They like having dragons to slay.
I believe the wiggle room for the NG is because they aren’t federalized at the time, it’s state resources being used.
I think it’s a matter of framing. Mobilize the military to go house to house for seizures- push back. Support law enforcement conducting lawful raids backed by warrants against dangerous marginalized people with illegal weapons (ie Waco, among others)- not so much.
The ATF arrests any number of people for NFA or other firearms violations today. Local law enforcement does the same for felon in possession and other unconstitutional laws. There’s no uprising so far, because they’re seen as legitimate. Besides, uncollected felonies is just something else that the cops and prosecutors can hold over someone on a related or unrelated matter.
GL- I agree. I’ve always maintained that we’ll lose our guns incrementally, just as you purpose, over the course of a generation or two. A mass confiscation would be much harder and less effective than criminalization followed by slow, methodical confiscation. Smart frogs get this, fortunately there are plenty of dumb ones advocating confiscation and keeping gun owners vigilant.
Yep, totally agree. If you can’t use it legally, you’re fucked for self-defense, you can’t fire it openly, you can’t train the next generation with it. The grandkids call the cops to take the scary item they found in grandpa’s house after he died.
“…eat out Rosie O’Donnell in gratitude.”
Whelp. There went my appetite for supper.
I mean, how could they not? They’re the ones not “smart” enough to go to college. They know their place, of course.
Quite a number of college grads in my basic training company. Later in the guard, even more either going to school or with graduate degrees. And that was besides the ones with a military focused diploma mill degree. Some very interesting conversations in the back of a deuce & a half. Sometimes I almost miss it.
Stop messing with the narrative!
“and then eat out Rosie O’Donnell in gratitude.”
OK, I’m pro censorship now.
Considering Trump won the military vote and has filled his staff with multiple respected generals, I don’t think this would go the way O’Donnell is envisioning. It would probably have the same result as when the French sent their army to stop Napoleon from returning to Paris after his escape from Elba.
Yes – those enlisted Marines going to follow Colonel Gender Studies instead of The Mad Dog?
All Mattis has to do is say that safety briefs prior to release are hereby eliminated along with annual kumbaya refresher training, and he’d be carried across the Rubicon.
“What I wrote on Twitter was we should impose martial law until we make sure the Russians weren’t involved in the final tally of the votes,”
So it’s no longer Facebook ads, it’s actual tampering with voting machines? That’s a mighty big pivot.
It’s Motte and Baily stuff. Make outrageous claims and then when someone calls you out on them, say “We never said that, we said X”. For example in this case they could argue “We didn’t say they messed with the Voting machines, just that they changed the tallies, their Advertising mislead and misinformed voters,
and since we know dumb tend to vote democrat this helped swing votes away from democrats to republicans.“They want to remove all impediments to
mob rule“democracy” but they think the average voter is blithering idiot.I don’t get it.
How else can you explain Herself’s loss to Trump? And you’re treating it like some run of the mill conspiracy theory.
It doesn’t mean anything. The goal is the ouster of Trump. The integrity of the election process is just a fig leaf justification.
Yeah, there’s a name for this, and it’s not “martial law”, it’s coup. Might want to look into how well that has worked out, on net, through history.
The Praetorians made a killing at it.

Huh, never took her for a fan of God-Emperor Mathis. I guess you can never tell where Ecclesiarchs come from…
Just finished scrubbing down all the bowls, pots and pans from yesterdays’ pretzel rolls.
Forgot two utensils. ._.
I’m not sure I like where this euphemism is heading.
No euphemism. I’m just bitching because I’m lazy and letting dough dry on dishes makes it annoying to clean. (I could have soaked them, but I need them now)
Oh yeah. I left out the best part. I am cleaning them special because I’m doing it all over again. So after today I’ll have to wash the whole set one more time. I’d better not let any of it dry this time…
Well, the rolls are in the oven, and I was smart enough to wash implements as I went, so I’m mellow.
It turned cold here the last couple days. I’m thinking I’ll make some low carb muffins tomorrow. Maple walnut sounds good.
*BLEEEEEEP*!!!!!!
The whole batch just fell on the floor.
5 second rule!
Passive voice… “The officer’s gun discharged.”
You mean you dropped them.
Still sucks, sorry dude.
No. I set them on an improper surface, and when the lid popped (I overfilled the container) it fell.
I was in the other room at the time,
They looked great. Did you do a soda bath?
yes. It’s a key step of the process.
So now I’m on batch #3.

Who the hell spends $4000 on an inflatable colon?
Where do you think the tuition money goes?
Though that one may have come from the government arts grants.

The first time you buy a cheap inflatable colon, you’ll never make that mistake again.
I know nothing.
There are people with a balloon fetish.
There are people with a giantess fetish.
There are people who like anal sex.

I was gonna say, at least in Calvinball everyone gets to make up the rules, but he goes over that in the article
This may or may not be a setup, but…
Liberal protestor starts screaming at 9/11 widow, says something about “sodomizing immigrants with their bully sticks” (wha?) and that her husband is hopefully rotting in his grave.
Then her son shows up, and hilarity ensues (in that the guy turns tail and runs for his life)

The NYPD has a reputation for shoving things up people’s asses.
True, but that has nothing to do with her or her late husband.
Shh. You’ll never own the cons by pointing that out.
I would have liked to have seen that little pussy get his face stomped in.
The cowed look on his face almost makes it feel like justice. I’m willing to bet he thinks a little harder next time before he runs his suck. Then again, next time he’s probably just make sure he has more black-bandana buddies around and a smaller group of MAGA opponents. Then he’ll be SUPER brave.
Canada legalizing recreational marijuana…capitalism springs into action.
That is HILARIOUS.
But you know what? Cops never really busted people for smoking up here. They did front time to time but more often than not it was a stern warning from what I gather.
SERIOUS mischief
Lachowsky-
Sorry, the propane guy showed up and distracted me.
The motor on the little lathe is a Dayton AC-DC series motor, 10,000 rpm, 1/5 hp (model 2m139). That’s what’s on the sticker.
The drive to the lathe head is a belt reduction setup. at least a 10:1 reduction.
All you need is an adjustable voltage AC or DC power supply that can handle a load of 3 amps.
Running power through an appropriately sized potentioneter would work. If you want something purpose built- google “universal motor speed controller” and you will find everything from panel mount knob controlled variable resistors to full blown programmable PWM drives.
Let me know what kinda money you want to spend and I can point you to something that will work.
Or an Arduino and some power transistors and a steady voltage power supply maybe? Use the PWM on the ‘duino to gate the transistors from PS to motor, right? I’m not an expert on this, but ISTR that that sort of thing is doable.

There is such a thing as a conservative street artist?
Beyond Sabo. I don’t see or hear of much. But, he does make up for the lack of others.
He got mugged once.

Well, there’s Bansky, whose art tends to lean the other way, politically.
He’s done some fairly funny stuff. These posters outside a Socialist Artists for Bernie Sanders exhibit are delightful.

What I like best about this situation is that it’s not an October surprise, it’s not some op staged by James O’Keefe, it’s not an overspiced dish served up by the Reagan Battalion, it was an entirely unnecessary political blunder by the woman herself. She put the thing out thinking she’d leaped from the trench and gone charging, when in fact she instantly tripped and broke both arms. Sad trombone.
LEEEEEEERRRRROOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYY JENKINS!
I think I understand her strategery here:
Trump is going to bring it up anyway, so let’s take care of it now so it will be old news when I’m the nominee. I think mostly what its done is reminded people about one of the things about her that is dislikable, confirm that her claim is bullshit (it actually disproves what she was claiming, and leaves behind the 1/1024th joke) and also brought some additional players saying “Sure, she totally did it to get the job.”
Her attempt to turn it on Trump by saying “Nyeah, now you gots to pay your bet!” also fell flat on its face. Naturally, the Bubble applauded her, but that changes nothing in the current landscape.
When your fellow Senators are laughing at you, you know you’ve screwed the pooch.
LOL

What I used the first time is a “router speed control” I got from Harbor Freight. I was trying to use it the other day, and as soon as I try to take a cut on my piece, a steel sleeve, it just about stops the motor. I’m guessing it has something to do with the potentiometer.
I’ve got a (hopefully) bigger better one on the way from Amazon.
The stock motor and speed controller are a proprietary Sherline arrangement, which has been superseded by a DC motor and controller. A new replacement would “bolt right on” but I’m a cheap bastard, so I’m looking for a workaround.
*goes back, re-reads*

Hopefully this new one will be better, but I might need to go even bigger.
“Conrad Black: Nothing Faith Goldy has done warrants this assault on her campaign
In the same measure that a civilized society must not tolerate racial discrimination, nor can it tolerate the false and wilful imputation of repulsive attitudes to someone who does not hold them
The portrayal of mayoral candidate Faith Goldy as a white supremacist, and use of that unfounded characterization to blackball her from candidates’ debates, and ban her advertisements from CTV is outrageous. I happened to encounter Mayor John Tory this week, and while he said he considers the Goldy campaign distasteful, fair-minded man as he is, he heard out my contemptuous views of the attempts to silence it and did not object. I understand he now says he was emphatic that she was a white supremacist and does not agree with my position, but that is not my recollection. He is an old friend and I wish him well in Monday’s election.”

“Pineapple on pizza? One quarter of Canadians deem it ‘blasphemy,’ survey finds
The pizza may have been invented by a Canadian, but that doesn’t mean we don’t hate it like everybody else
Despite the Hawaiian pizza’s proud Ontario origins, one quarter of Canadians continue to deem it “blasphemy” to put pineapple on pizza, according to a new survey by Abacus Data.
A further 28 per cent said it is “tough” to be friends with a Hawaiian pizza enthusiast, and some even deemed it a friendship “dealbreaker.” Eight per cent of Canadian women surveyed, for instance, said they could not be friends with an eater of Hawaiian pizzas.
The Hawaiian pizza is generally agreed to have been invented in 1962 by Chatham, Ont. pizzeria owner Sam Panopoulos, who died just last year at age 82.”

“Beware of Greeks bearing pizza.”
We may not agree if deep dish pizza is pizza or a pizza casserole but we must agree that Hawaiian pizzas are the Devil’s work.
Pineapple on thin crust with green chile. Some things just work.
SMDH
Something like that.
Demon waiter: Hors d’oeuvres?
Jason: Oh, whattaya got?
Waiter: Soul food from Maine, bagels from Arkansas, Hawaiian pizza of course. And egg salad from a hospital vending machine in Azerbaijan.
Well, the egg salad might give you helpful brain parasites, at least.
Jason Mendoza could certainly use them.
I think Adam Corolla addressed this recently, saying something along the lines of “I admit that I like the taste, but don’t call it pizza.”
“Beware of Greeks bearing pizza.”
When I lived in Boston, most of the good pizza joints were run by Greeks.
Yeah, well, Canadians. You can’t expect them to appreciate the sublime taste of pineapple, bacon, tomatoes, and cheese.
Nine hour day building rebar cages for the pour next week. Don’t none of you say I don’t done nothing today.

That’s what I was going for. Next week he might need to turn to joints for some stress relief. If the pressure gets to him though, he might come back & post a screed.

Naw, one of the things I’ve contemplated was ways to move into a new lifstyle without raising suspicion. I came up with a plan, which I decline to share in case I need it.
Does it involve a sudden increase in literary output now that you don’t have to work any more? Because that might be noticeable.
That might be a side-effect, but the delay before the change would be enough for people to forget.
All I know is if you win, you’re buying lunch next year.

Oh, no, the boating accident was a few years ago.

Awesome.
I got a bottle of Hendrick’s Gin, and I’m gonna shake up a few martinis after I go jogging and eat dinner.
That stuff sounds interesting, how is it in a gin and tonic (I’m not too big on martinis)?
Have you tried a Negroni?
*googles*
I haven’t and that sounds like something I need to give a try.
Also, sounds kinda racist.
Haven’t had any yet. I’ll report back when I have!
I like Hendrick’s, but Boodles is better (and cheaper)
I’ve been working Citadelle lately.
Prost, Sean. I’m having a PB Porter from a local brewery, with a sipper of a wonderful rye from a local distillery.
Life is good.
