Day Two of my Bachelor Life. The house is a mess, dirty laundry is piled up, and sammiches are unmade. Oh, and I have an unrequited boner. By the time SP gets back, this place will look like Fred Sanford’s yard and my balls will be the color of a giraffe’s tongue.

The Most Libertarian President Ever says that he doesn’t want to put drug dealers in cages like his predecessors did. The crowd responds lovingly.
But on Saturday his call for executing drug dealers got some of the most enthusiastic cheers of the night. As Trump spoke about policies on the issue in China and Singapore, dozens of people nodded their heads in agreement. “We love Trump,” one man yelled. A woman shouted: “Pass it!”

Continuing yesterday’s man-pig theme, there’s this story out of Argentina.
The deformed animal was spotted next to its mother after she gave birth to eight piglets in the area of Santo Domingo in Santiago del Estero Province. But it died a few hours after birth when it had trouble breathing on March 7.
Its deformities are believed to be caused by pesticides and GM crops.
Q Joins The Marines. But here’s the bad news (emphasis mine):
The new website contains 267 of the images, which are too explicit to share, and appears to involve women from all branches of the military.
And as part of The Glibertarians’ commitment to public service, here’s News You Can Use.
Old Guy Music! And I’ll simply say that if more Country & Western music were like this, we’d be living in a far better world. This is raw, genuine, unadorned, and… real.

The headline says the piglet has a human like face. Uhhhh, what’s wrong with the gene pool in Argentina because that pig doesn’t look human.

“Deformities caused by GM crops”.
And they just let that sit there, completely untrue, for the easily-led and the zealots to embrace?
It says they’re believed to have been caused by GM crops.
It doesn’t tell you who they spoke to that believes that. Obviously, there are people – currently unidentified – that do.
“There are those who say…”
It’s the Daily Star, a tabloid, of course they just let it sit there.

I know I’m late to the party, but during the height of the Japanese boom in the late ’80s, I was serving with Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children in Okinawa. The huge scandal when I was there was that there were a bunch of tall blond WM’s (woman marines) that were making a ton of money as arm candy for Japanese businessmen.
The scandal blew up when they were trying to figure out why some Marines weren’t cashing their checks. Turns out that the $200 or so was such chump change to these gals that they didn’t even bother cashing them.
The ultra-upright Marines back in Washington freaked out. How could good American WM’s whore themselves out? During the investigation, it turned out that most of the gals didn’t even have to give up the goods. Just walking around with the 5′ tall Japanese businessman was enough.

Is this some kind of Little League deal?
Well seeing as the NBA is the most predictable thing this side of the WWF (sorry, animal lovers. I’m always gonna call it the WWF), this so-called “little league deal” is a million times better than watching that shit.
FFS, I saw an ESPN article yesterday where the Lakers were mad at the Nuggets guard because he dribbled in a circle around one of them in the final seconds. That was THE FUCKING LEDE. Bill Lambeer would roll over in his grave if he was dead.
The say the NBA has never been more popular. It’s never been more insufferable.
I really can’t stand listening to Lebron and Pop talk philosophy and lecturing about stuff they know jack shit about.
I can’t think of a major sport more boring than pro basketball.
So Katy Perry sold her soul and the Dark One does her bidding? That would explain a LOT.
I’d figure any Faustian deal would come with a better singing voice.
What I don’t get is this: who holds the actual deed to the land? There’s the ownership problem solved. A letter saying the nuns own it or that Rome does…vs a deed with the LA Archdiocese on it. Sorry, but the letter amounts that little more than an internal squabble. As far as the courts are concerned, ownership is established by who holds the deed.
Not as simple as you might think.
Ultimately I think it will be that simple. If the SC doesn’t treat this the same as any other property dispute, it’ll open the door to all kinds of suits from non-religions groups on equal protection grounds.
Either way, I was speaking about how it would work in a sane world where contracts were enforceable. Not in the US where they’re ignored at the leisure of the courts.
It’s a gorgeous piece of property in an amazing location. If I won the lottery, it would be in my top 3 places to buy. But if Katy really really wants it, she can keep it. I guess I’ll keep looking in the Palisades. Chautauqua Blvd, or Entrada Drive.

At least it’s not pineapple.
The biggest surprise is that it was a woman in bed next to him. I always assumed he was gay and just hadn’t come out yet.
Also, everybody remember when “America’s Sweetheart” Lena Dunham admitted to sexually assault if him at a party and nobody on the left made a peep about it? Peppridge Farms remembers.
Well, if not wanting to fuck Lena Dunham is gay, I’m Liberace.
I just hope he’s learned to calm down after missing a season. He’s a great receiver. He just needs to stop acting like a jackass. Making Terrell Owens seem sane only hurts the team.
He’s overrated. People act like he’s the next Jerry Rice or Cris Carter when he’s done what, exactly?
Played in NY.
^ SO MUCH THIS ^
I’m gonna assume you meant to bring up the legendary Vikings receiver, not his sidekick.
His first three seasons he had 288/4122/35 statline.
Randy Moss: 226/4163/43
Jerry Rice: 200/3575/40
Yeah he’s not Jerry Rice and he’s not Randy Moss. But he had a better first 3 years than any other WR. Albeit in a pass happy NFL.
Shut your mouth!
Cris Carter had the best hands I ever saw in the NFL. He ran shit routes, but if you threw it at his feet or 10 feet out of bounds, he’d somehow glom onto the ball and tap two toes in bounds.
I miss CC so much.
Cris Carter was the best receiver in the history of the NFL.
And he was probably a better basketball player than his asshole brother. I once saw him jump up and place a quarter on the top of a backboard at Sunset Park in Middletown, OH. Dude could jump like nothing I ever saw before or after.

“Generation Identity: Far-right group sending UK recruits to military-style training camps in Europe
Footage shows white nationalists training in hand-to-hand combat amid warnings over rising extremism
“We want to bring a revival to our culture and our way of life,” she told The Independent. “Our biggest concern of course is becoming a minority in our own country.”
Ms McKenna claimed that “Islamisation” was under way in Britain and Ireland, adding: “Islam isn’t a religion in my opinion, it’s more of a political force.”
Asked about the volume of racist and antisemitic responses from supporters replying to the group’s online posts, the 38-year-old said anyone who “tries to bring up the Jewish question” is prevented from formally joining GI.
GI’s leaders reject the labels far-right or alt-right and claim they vet members for extremism, but analysts say the organisation is “pure in its white supremacy”.”

“Of the total 7,631 people referred to Prevent in the 2015/16 financial year, 65 per cent (4,997) were suspected of Islamist extremism and 10 per cent (759) of right-wing extremism.“
7,631 > 759…..But “Right wing extremism” is the bigger problem?! I must be taking crazy pills.
It’s weird to me that Lefties have such a soft spot for Islam and simultaneously act like America is just one pussy hair away from turning into The Handmaid’s Tale.
How can they think that and also believe that we should import tens of thousands of people from regions where an actual patriarchy is enforced with violence and many of the new arrivals don’t show any signs of disagreement with this cultural element?
The problems of the Islamic world are due solely to colonialism and imperialism and capitalism. Without those factors the ME and Africa would be thriving, prosperous, 22nd-century societies with fully-functioning democracies.

Trump said that allowing prosecutors to seek the death penalty for drug dealers — an idea he said he got from Chinese President Xi Jinping — is “a discussion we have to start thinking about. I don’t know if this country’s ready for it.”
“Do you think the drug dealers who kill thousands of people during their lifetime, do you think they care who’s on a blue-ribbon committee?” Trump asked. “The only way to solve the drug problem is through toughness. When you catch a drug dealer, you’ve got to put him away for a long time.”
Where’s Judge Smales when you need him?
Christ, Trump’s WoD stance is the absolute worst thing about his Presidency, IMO.
I don’t get it. It’s both a pragmatic and political failure. Stupid and popular? He’s a populist and that wins votes. Practical and unpopular? “You’ll see that I’m right after it works. Believe me.” But stupid and unpopular? That’s not 37d chess. That’s losing one-dimensional checkers.
The idiots at his rallies seem to be lapping it up.
The “opioid epidemic” has the drug warriors all up in arms. On my daily drive I switch back and forth between Hugh Hewitt and NPR. Hewitt is a rampant drug warrior and claims something like 64,000 people died from Opioid overdoses last year. I think that is a massaged number but still a bunch of people unintentionally kicked off due to fentanyl od’s. That shit aint good when folks don’t know the amount of it that is in whatever else it is mixed with like Xanax. And apparently the fentanyl that is coming in from China is off the charts deadly. It baffles me that the drug warriors, who are for the most part vocal capitalists in other areas, don’t see that the cure for this is to legalize it which would create a legit market. Legit businesses don’t kill off their clientele. That is bad for business. How many times do we have to do the “get tough on drugs” routine before we ask ourselves why it doesn’t work?

In the interest of your mental health, and from arousing any suspicion on those who notice the amount of bleach you must be going through, I recommend you take an axe to your radio.
All the same lessons of alcohol prohibition apply to prohibition of any other drug, but nobody heeds them.
Here’s something that occurred to me the other day when I was musing on the whole drug war problem: prohibitionists always bring up sob stories of drug addicts who ruined their lives. But there are tales of suffering from the other side, too – those who are living with chronic pain. These people are often unable to hold a job or enjoy any activities because they can’t get the pain meds they need (or their doctors won’t give them a sufficient supply out of fear of legal liability, or they’re stuck with substandard painkillers that don’t work). What we have now is basically one group (addicts) being prioritized over another group (pain sufferers). But shouldn’t it be the other way around? After all, drug addicts can stop their habit. It may not be easy, but it’s not impossible. On the other hand, pain sufferers have no way out. Their only hope of having a decent life is getting some meds that will allow them to focus on something other than their pain. It’s usually not their fault that they’re in this situation; it could be because of a hereditary disease or an accident. The fact that some people will make a choice to use drugs recreationally and fuck up their lives does not give the government the justification to, well, fuck up people’s lives.
Also, are they really helping drug addicts with prohibition? Imprisonment certainly doesn’t look good on a person’s resume. I’d actually like to revise my previous statement about how the drug war is prioritizing addicts over pain sufferers. What’s really going on is that this policy is fucking over both groups while pretending to be compassionate to drug addicts.
How many times do we have to do the “get tough on drugs” routine before we ask ourselves why it doesn’t work?

I just wonder why they didn’t put the full quote in the video, neither the WaPo video or the AP video that followed it showed him saying it or the crowds reaction. So here is his who meandering on drugs make of it what you will, it’s shit policy but his mention of death penalty doesn’t exactly come across the same in context to me. I think him saying he wants to go after drug companies for opioids is more worrisome.
It is a shit argument. How about we go after every liquor store that sold a bottle of booze to some asshole who drank it and then killed himself and others in a head on collision. And holy cow, I have not listened to one of his speeches in awhile. He is all over the map and it makes me chuckle. Like the Hair is telling him what to say next but he already has a thought in his head that he wants to say. Too funny and proof SF might really be onto something.

Lefties can gripe about Trump all they want (and in fact, my opinion of him just took a dive with his “death penalty for drug dealers” statement mentioned above) but I hate it when they whine that he’s “mean” and “uncivil”. What the fuck have they been saying about him ever since he became a serious candidate? They’ve made fun of his skin color, his original family name, and even joked (or not) about assassination.

Last night’s thread included a meeting of the Glib “them womenz can’t do nuffin” sub-group. This was followed by a discussion about dating woes.
Which thread was the womenz can’t do nuffin portion? I am not sure anyone thinks women can’t do nuffin. I assume you are talking about the disproportional representation in certain industry’s discussion? I think it is more womenz choose to do what they want to do just like the menz, but menz are told they are pigs because most womenz don’t choose to do what many menz do to make a living.
I’ve explained this to “wage gap” believers, but the responses I’ve gotten are either A) society stigmatizes women who pursue STEM or business careers, or B) the process of interviewing and hiring is sexist.
I’ve tried to explain to them that female brains are physicially different than male brains, and they don’t really argue with that, but they don’t acknowledge that this difference might result in behavioral trends that cause a difference in life circumstances for men and women. They just think that if you waved a magic wand and erased all discriminatory thought, every occupation would be split 50/50 between men and women.
Self-selection bias goes woefully unnoticed and unheeded.
And as far as the dating woes is concerned(I’m assuming she meant the ukulele girl) I’ll take dry penis skin all day, everyday over that high speed train wreck.

Rex Murphy continues to be one of Canada’s national treasures.
Rex Murphy: The contemptible concept of ‘white privilege’ is just ugly, angry racism
Maxime Bernier is right: Identity politics dissolves community, reduces a country to subsets of clans, and obscures the diversity of individual lives
White privilege is a racist concept on its face, with skin colour as the main determinant of value and truth. ….. She is, just as every other MP is, one of the most select and privileged members of Canadian society. There are 36 million plus Canadians, and only 338 at any one time are MPs. It’s an exclusive, privileged club. They make the laws for all the rest, for heaven’s sake ….. And within that privileged club, even as a rookie MP, Caesar-Chavannes is one-up on her fellows. She’s been parliamentary secretary to the prime minister himself for nearly two years, and elected from a majority white district. White privilege (or lack of it, whatever it is), hasn’t held her back.
Now, more specifically, if you do buy the white, male privilege cant, here’s a question: What one white male best illustrates the concept, more thoroughly than anyone else ever could, in the whole of the country?
Well, her boss, the prime minister.
He has a patrician name, an inherited status, is the offspring of a prime minister, has family friendships that give access to the world’s great and glorious, from the Khans to the Castros, a trust-fund income, and a network of political connections unexampled in modern Canadian politics. On the white male privilege scale he’s the very distillation and essence, the Platonic ideal.

It reminds me of Obama worshippers in the US. They can’t really name anything good that he actually did; they’ll just say “he talked about ending ____” or “he spoke out against _____”. They’ll also prattle off a list of superficial details like “he’s such an amazing speaker” or “his family is so nice”.
ObamaCare is the only actual answer I’ve ever gotten, and as someone who works in the paperwork sector of the healthcare industry, I will go on a fucking three hour lecture about why that law is a total shit sandwich.
“Amazing speaker.”
/looks for something to smash.
Soft bigotry of low expectations.
When I hear “amazing speaker,” I ask them for some great quotes from his memorable lines. The silence is hilarious.
Mildly surprised you didn’t get “you didn’t build that”.
When I hear “amazing speaker” I think Yamaha NS-1000.
This “great orator” myth also annoys me because it’s pretty well known that politicians usually do not write their own speeches. They’re constructed by marketing professionals who carefully select words to produce an emotional response in the audience. These people fawning over his speeches are just being manipulated like some rube watching commercials on TV.

You would think after Rotherham….again there the cops are more worried about who say mean things about Muslims on Twitter.
What the heck is going on in the UK?
It’s the difference between immigration and colonization.
Rotherham was characterized by the coalescence of the public outrage, a police department growing a pair, and proper journalism. What was happening there (and to a degree, still will be happening there, though far more subdued) is happening in many, many towns. Rochdale, Derby, Skipton, Bradford. All of them have had similar cases.
If you take Rotherham as a datum, communities where there certain ethnic concentrations are higher, don’t get coverage because all the white girls’ families who can have moved out. Where the concentrations are lower, these crimes are again, kept under wraps. Rotherham was a ‘sweet spot’ where these bastards excesses couldn’t be swept under the carpet and a few fearless people finally stepped up.
Let’s remember that the first reports of this kind of crime surfaced in the early 1990’s in the case of Rotherham, by a conservative estimate, many hundreds of kids were groomed and pimped out over a generation, and in the resulting prosecutions, a total of 24 convictions, which doesn’t sound like very many people for a conspiracy covering 25 years, especially when the victims were being pimped out in multiple locations all around the UK.
Incidentally, hindu, sikh and other minority kids get the D too. This isn’t about “selling white girls into slavery”, it’s about “selling young whores who by reason of their religion aren’t pure”.

Anyways, the most outspoken girl in the group has the most hair brained ideas for these screens. I imagine if you could look inside her mind it would look a lot like that picture of OMWCs house or worse. Not sure how she functions at work.

“Conservative Activists Martin Sellner and Brittany Pettibone Detained in UK for Political Beliefs
Austrian activist Martin Sellner of Génération Identitaire and his girlfriend, American author and YouTuber Brittany Pettibone, have been detained by airport police in England for nearly three days.
Journalist and researcher Nick Monroe spoke to Pettibone on Saturday afternoon when she called him from the detention center. She told him that she is expecting that they will be released on Sunday — 72 hours after their initial detention. She has not been permitted to speak to Sellner.
One of the reasons for the detention was that they were planning to interview former Rebel Media journalist Tommy Robinson.”

I would be more than happy to comfort Lauren in her time of need.
“As a child, I never sold Girl Scout cookies, I went around with a Jewish National Fund box collecting funds to plant trees in Israel.”
Translation: I hate Jews.
You have to understand how a progressive mind functions. When they say those sort of things, it’s a smokescreen.
I want to ask, “Was this before or after you were banging your way to success? Say, how’s Willie doing these days?”
It’s such transparent bullshit I can’t believe she can keep a straight face.
Jews have more money than Girl Scouts. Sweet sweet Jew money to help me get re-elected.
She’s disempowering girls. Why does she hate both women and children?
I like DST. Especially when summer rolls around, and it’s still light out at ten o’clock.
Me too. That hour of daylight in the morning before I wake up is useless. I want it in the evening when I’m out and about.
It’s not supposed to be light out at 10pm. Don’t they have electricity where you live? Bring on the night. DST sucks.
I want to ask, “Was this before or after you were banging your way to success? Say, how’s Willie doing these days?”
At the risk of being hateful and mean, maybe that’s where she learned not to just give it away.

Question for you stereo geeks: I have an Onkyo receiver I run my Mac mini and X box through hooked to a 54″ Samsung porn screen and surround sound speakers. Last night the receiver just shut down. It had done that once before, but turned back on no problemo. Now when I turn it on it just shuts off, and I had to move the HDMI direct to the TV. A search led me to a comment stating that the Onkyo will shut down into safe mode if there is a short and to unplug all the speaker wires and see if it stays on. Done, and it still shuts off. Is this thing fucked?
It’s an Onkyo, you were Fucked the day you bought it, seriously though, a Bad Transformer, a bad Transistor, a failed run cap, any of those things will create that condition
Is it worth taking it to a shop, or pitch it? The thing wasn’t cheap and it kind of pisses me off. It is probably four years old. Being a stereo knuckle head and knowing nothing, I was told Onkyo was the shnizzle.
Take it to a shop if you know of one close by, It may be something simple
Pitch it. Onkyo is the same as all of the other low end brands, even comes out of the same factory. Receivers are cheap and disposable.
This thing was not cheap. So buy cheapest and just pitch them? Where were you with this advice four years ago?
Two choices: buy cheap and assume it will need replacement. Or get something really well-built that will last forever (like Bryston) and cry yourself to sleep at what it cost.
Pro tip: second hand Bryston or Parasound gear on EBay is almost reasonable.
Also, maybe related, I was getting some odd crackling sounds out of the left rear speaker from time to time.
Sounds like it’s “Viking Funeral” time.
Unplug everything from the receiver. Does it still shut down? It sounds like it has some sort of power management software. Is there a way to reset it?
Everything unplugged and it still shuts down. There might be a way to reset it, I will have to do some research there.
It could also be a dead battery.
In the remote? I found the manual on line and did a reset.
Not the one in the remote. I would be surprised if there wasn’t a battery inside the receiver to hold memory when the power is off. A typical symptom of a dead battery is that it will light up then suddenly go off when you try to turn it on. Some are easily replaced, others are soldered to the board.
“54″ Samsung porn screen”
Typo, intentional, or Freudian slip?
Intentional. I am a firm believer in primary use designation of objects. I also have an 8″ stainless steel tortilla pan I occasionally cook eggs in, and an upright beer refrigerator that I keep some meats and veges in. It is also why I believe “assault rifle” is idiotic since the overwhelming majority of them have never been used in an assault.
You try this?
How to reset the unit:
1. While holding down [CBL/SAT] (or [VCR/DVR] for old models) on the main unit, press [ON/STANDBY] on the main unit.
2. “Clear” appears on the display and the unit returns to standby. Do not unplug the power cord until “Clear” disappears from the display.
Just did that. The manual says also to leave it unplugged for an hour. I think it is fooked. We shall see in an hour.
It’s an Onkyo, you were Fucked the day you bought it
I had an Onkyo receiver that lasted about 25 years before it finally pitched. Maybe they just made them better in the ’80s.
So buy cheapest and just pitch them?
Yes
Search for “t amp”. This is not exactly what I have, but they are dead simple and cheap and they make good sound. And when it goes tits up, you might not feel so bad.
I bought a 120 watt Pyle just for the power, and run it through various EQs and Mixers, sounds good and it was a 60$ amp, very disposable
Did you pay the $191 for the “Expert Setup”? LOL
“digital amplifier”?
Does it take lower-case “one zero zero one zero one one zero one” and make it into “ONE ZERO ZERO ONE ZERO ONE ONE ZERO ONE”
i’m no elictrifical engimaneer, but if the input is an analog jack, and the output is an analog jack, what’s the digital part?

I’m beginning to think these kids are wearing out their welcome. I guess arrogant ignorance can only get you so far.
As long as you signal correctly and tick off a few victimhood boxes, it’s all good.
While I don’t hope that they come to any harm, I’d like to think that they overplay their hands so massively that they spend the rest of their lives realizing that they were instrumental in making 20% of the current ‘undecideds’ into pro-2A territory.
making? pushing.
I can’t imagine that happening.
OK IDK let’s try that again.
There might be a way to reset it, I will have to do some research there.
Maybe there’s a fuse, or a circuit breaker in there, someplace.

“Nationwide Injunctions Are a Threat to Our Constitutional Order
By Jeff Sessions
Under our Constitution, Congress writes our laws, the executive branch carries out our laws, and the judiciary applies those laws to cases and controversies.
These branches are coequal. The courts are not superior. On matters of policy, the branches that are directly accountable to the people must be given proper respect. That’s why it’s so alarming that judges are increasingly issuing nationwide injunctions — orders that block the entire federal government from enforcing an executive-branch policy or executing a statute. These injunctions block the government from carrying out a law — not just in one district or to one person, but anywhere in America.
Scholars have not found a single example of any judge issuing that type of extreme remedy in the first 175 years of the Republic. In just over one year in office, President Trump has been hit with 22, more than any other president in our history. And they’re happening on issues that voters care about, like DACA, the travel order, sanctuary cities, and the service of transgender people in the military. Shutting down our elected officials from carrying out our laws effectively silences the people who voted for them.
Nationwide injunctions mean that each of the more than 600 federal district judges in the United States can freeze a law or regulation throughout the country — regardless of whether the other 599 disagree. That’s a threat to the proper functioning of the federal government for a number of reasons.
First of all, nationwide injunctions encourage forum shopping. There is a reason why so many lawsuits have been filed against the Trump administration in California and Hawaii, and why others were filed against the Obama administration in Texas. Lawyers are looking for the most favorable forum in which to advance their goal of imposing a policy outcome on the country without winning at the ballot box or in the legislature.
Second, nationwide injunctions cut off discussion among the lower courts — a key feature of our legal system that leads to smarter, better decisions.
Third, when a single district judge issues a nationwide injunction while similar cases are pending elsewhere, that overrides the rulings of other judges. For example, a federal judge in Maryland held that the wind-down of the DACA policy was lawful. So even though the plaintiffs in that Maryland case lost, it was as if they won, because judges in San Francisco and New York issued injunctions that stopped the federal government nationwide.
Nationwide injunctions create an absurd situation in which a plaintiff only needs to win once to stop the government from acting — but the government needs to win every time to carry out its policies. That makes governing all but impossible.”
https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/03/nationwide-injunctions-stop-elected-branches-enforcing-law/
That makes governing all but impossible.
Feature, not bug.
Unless governing involves changing bad policies, of course.
“Under our Constitution, Congress writes our laws, the executive branch carries out our laws, and the judiciary applies those laws to cases and controversies.”
If only people also understood what laws Congress are allowed to write under that constitution. Pretty much everyone I’ve talked to about this comes up with some variation of “any law they want as long as it isn’t prohibited by the Bill of Rights (as interpreted by my personal likes and dislikes.)

FUCK CLOCK SHIFTING.
It’s just one among many reminders of pointless and arbitrary government power for NO BENEFIT WHATSOEVER. There is no reason for this. At all. None. And nobody likes it. Public opinion polls show (conservatively) that 2/3 of responses hate the clock changing. People wanna blow a load about having more daylight in the afternoon; fine, go on permanent DST. I don’t give a shit. Just don’t fucking change it.

I love it. I want daylight savings ALL FUCKING YEAR.
As stated, I don’t care. That’s fine. Just stop shifting shit around. FUCKING POINTLESS.

Figuratively, not literally, right?
I say next time we change, change it 30 minutes and never change again. Isn’t there a Canadian Province that did this?
If one did, it had to be Newfoundland.
The clock in the garage is hard to reach so I don’t bother changing it. Right now it’s the only one that’s correct.

Completely OT:
When I talk to Lefties about the activities of the Democrat Party, I like to eschew the terms “campaigning” and “fundraising” and instead use “advertising/marketing” and “profits”. It just irks them because they see commerce as the lowest, dirtiest, most ignoble of all human activities, and they don’t like to be reminded that the Democrat Party is just as greedy as (or even greedier than) the corporations they hate so much.
That is all.
