Okay Glibs, the Audiobook of Lucid Blue has just gone live!
I like the link above very much because it feeds my capitalist instincts very much. Aside from any sales it might drive, anyone who signs up for an audbile membership through it nets me more money. Of course if you don’t need an audiobook copy, feel free to send the link to someone who might.

Does Steve Smith make an appearance in your works?
Not to date.
STEVE SMITH NO BELIEVE IN DATE. HIM ALWAYS SAY: “WHY BUY MILK WHEN CAN RAPE COW FOR FREE?”
I may be in the minority, but I think Edge is actually ok. On my PC at least, it runs faster than Firefox and Chrome. Fuck all three of them though. Opera FTW.
Any downsides to Opera?
Aside from being Opera?
The only one I can think of is that it’s just not as widely used, so plug-ins and extensions can be a little harder to find.
I find it runs faster, is more secure/private and also doesn’t carry all the woke, corporate SJW baggage that the others do.
Thanks, I’ll have to check it out then
I thought current version of Opera were based on Chromium and are inter-operable with Chrome plugins.
It is. You can install any Chrome extension in Opera, though you first need to install the extension that enables this.

Any idea why only Chrome shows the download links for the audio files at All-India Radio? In the “Listen News” section on the right, Chrome has an option to download if you don’t want to do streaming audio. Neither Firefox nor Opera does.
I didn’t know All India Radio existed.
Opera, Brave, Waterfox, Pale Moon…plenty to choose from that work great.
I’ve been happy with Brave.
I tried it a while back on recommendation from Glib users, but could never get it to import my bookmarks so I ditched it. I should give it another shot.
I hated brave when I tried it. Buggy as hell.
Yeah, near as I could tell from the community forum, it not importing my bookmarks was a known bug.
But there was nothing buggy about the requests to donate $$

What’s trending in The Atlantic, you ask? Why is college in America so expensive?

“Ultimately, college is expensive in the U.S. for the same reason MRIs are expensive: There is no central mechanism to control price increases. “Universities extract money from students because they can,” says Schleicher at the OECD. “It’s the inevitable outcome of an unregulated fee structure.””
There’s more, including…
” “These are both sectors where consumers are too poorly informed and societal costs and benefits too great to leave decision-making entirely in the hands of individuals,” as Isabel Sawhill at the Brookings Institution has written.”
Jesus, I hate these people so fucking much. They want nothing less than total control.

WORST. HAIKU. EVAR.
I know! It doesn’t even rhyme. 🙁
Price controls work!
“There is no central mechanism to control price increases.”
Um, there IS a central mechanism to control prices and THAT IS WHY it is expensive. The central mechanism is controlling SUPPLY and it is also goosing DEMAND.
The idea that there is no central mechanism is absurd.
LOL good one
No more govt subsidized student loans. Walla, problem solved!
I’ve stated this a bunch of times, but I figured what was driving prices up back when I was a freshman.
We had to fill out a financial aid form, and after that the college determined how much the family could pay, with the rest made up of grants/scholarships/loans. It very quickly occurred to me that if there were more money in financial aid available, the college would still be able to say we could afford to pay the same amount, and the new money would just be added on top of the aid we were already getting, resulting in higher prices.
I thought Florence was trending in the Atlantic?
The fear is that it stops trending.
Wait, aren’t MRI prices falling and have been falling because of independent labs offering the service without a cronyist certificate of need, aka competition?
Came here to say ^this.
Fuck you Atlantic, you communist shitheels.
Just a coincidence that college got real expensive right after the government started underwriting student loans – creating a bottomless pit of money to be harvested. And when America decided everyone should go to college – even the dummies who should have been learning a regular job.
There is no central mechanism to control price increases.

Is there a libertarian argument for waging catastrophic war with China in defense of Taiwan? Even that extreme aside, is there truly a great advantage to America in continuing to insert ourselves into the situation between China and Taiwan?
The Failure to Help Taiwan
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-failure-to-help-taiwan-1536707341
The WSJ has a continual warboner for militarily engaging China over Taiwan. I’m not seeing that Taiwan is worth starting WW3 over, but I’m also not well versed on the topic.
Bullying is its own reward, when you’re the bully. And in this case it’s two bullies pretending they aren’t colluding.
Selling Taiwan down the river to Red China would be a terrible thing to do. On the other hand, not selling Taiwan down the river to Red China would be a terrible thing to do if they got really insistent.
Is there a libertarian argument?
Only if you believe that an unfettered China will necessarily lead to a more catastrophic war in the future.
But you probably have to have a lot of un-libertarian beliefs to get there.
I have a feeling Taiwan is doomed. There is not a chance in hell we’re going to defend it when the day comes that China wants it back in the fold. The only question is when will that day come. I’m kind of surprised it hasn’t happened already.
Yea, the article also noted only 17 countries currently recognize Taiwan and several of those are wavering.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Taiwan starts throwing nukes. They really don’t want to be conquered by commies.
*shakes fist at Drake*
Based only on China’s actions, I am 100% convinced that Taiwan has a nuke. I don’t know when they got it, or where they got it from, or if they made it themselves, or what. But I think China knows they aren’t getting Taiwan without losing a major city.
Either We gave it to them, or Israel did, pick one
They are a high-tech country with 3 active plants. Why would they need to get them from anyone?
The Clinton Foundation might have sold them one?
Bob “the Bag Man” Mueller delivered it.
How do you say “Hello good sir, I am writing to you today to let you know that I am no longer associated with the KGB and that I have transitioned to an exciting new position with Broken Arrow Inc, because are all good capitalists now,” in Taiwanese?
Slim Pickens?
No idea, but that would explain China’s hesitation better than any fears of reprisals from the US or others that I think everyone knows isn’t coming.
Yes, I think so. I buy into Bastiat’s conception of the state, in which the state is justified in an action if the individual citizens of the state would be justified in an action. Here, we know that a single citizen Albert would be justified if they chose to defend Tim from a physical attack by Charlie. Therefore, we could say that the union of citizen in America would be justified if they chose to defend a citizen of Taiwan from a physical attack citizen of Charlie. (But that doesn’t extent to mean American can go shoot Chinese citizens who aren’t involved in the attack or the command structure that chose to initiate the attack.)
There is no *requirement* that the US defend the citizens of Taiwan, only that they would be justified if they did chose to do so (assuming they stay in their lane, which is a hard thing to do in war.)
Not likely. This sounds like a “yes you can, no you shouldn’t” type of deals.
I completely see it falling within the NAP justification for defending Taiwan, but I was thinking in terms of using American resources, both treasure and blood, to do so.
That depends on your theory of the state and the particulars of the intervention. Its hypothetically possible that an all-volunteer expeditionary force could take action as part of an agreement for full reimbursement.
Less likely than the first live birth of a spherical cow or winged pig, but hypothetically possible.
Its hypothetically possible that an all-volunteer expeditionary force could take action as part of an agreement for full reimbursement.
This is how I see our military being funded in an America 100% free of all taxes. Agree it’s an unlikely prospect.
But not without precedent!
I realize there are historical differences, but how likely is a Hong Kong type setup for Taiwan? I doubt its ideal, but being a bargaining chip between two world powers has a lot of downsides.
I think none at all. China wants to punish them bad – they’re still technically rebels, after all.
The Red Chinese are the rebels.
Depends on who won? The Reds got the Mainland, so I’m going with the Commies for legitimacy, sorry, They Won.
Good point. Still, China probably sees “unfinished business” there.
Oh yes, they do, and sooner than later, they will take it. I heard there is a segment of the Taiwanese population that Wants reunification.
That segment is either stupid or nuts or both.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan_Democratic_Self-Government_League
There is a segment of the US population that would like to be under communist rule, as well.
Also, the three political parties in ROC that have Communist in their name.
There was another article in the WSJ today about how Beijing is setting up a checkpoint in Hong Kong, stocked with mainland officials and police, that will be have the power to enforce mainland law in a 15 mile radius. I think Hong Kong will slowly revert back into mainland China.
Well, that sucks. On the bright side, it did take them 20 years to do it.
The one country two systems only extends until 2047 (in Hong Kong, 2049 for Macau) formally. Even if the Chicoms didn’t get a jump on things, it would still be reverting eventually.
We artel dear. Play we don’t artel it any fulther.
Not sure about a libertarian argument for it, but abandoning Taiwan would be another example of us being untrustworthy allies. See Egypt as another example.
Unlike most European countries, Taiwan’s conventional military is significant. There is a difference between “capable of taking” and “worth taking”

Her milkshake don’t keep the boys in the yard.
“People ditch me once they get to know me. What’s wrong with them?”
Lets just assume she isn’t a hopeless case and this guy did her wrong, I’d really like to ask her if perhaps its an unfair assumption that traditionally masculine men who don’t ask for consent every five seconds cannot possibly be genuine caring people? And maybe is it possible that millennial, sensitive affirmative -consent seekers can be still be creeps?
Here’s a wild thought: maybe some of those traditionally masculine traits, such as behaving like a gentleman towards ladies, assuming the role of guardian, taking responsibility for the physical safety of people in your care, being a provider, make for men who are also caring, kind, and generous lovers. And maybe overgrown man-children who have been taught to regard women as guys with vaginas and have been raised to believe those aforementioned masculine traits are bad things wind up behaving like self-centered children. Just spitballin’ here.
Dave Ramsey’s saying comes to mind… “children just do what feels good at the time”

All browsers have sucked since Opera 12.17.

I’m sympathetic to this opinion.
I like Vivaldi, but the JavaScript execution is a little buggy. I use FF to browse and Chrome for dev.
I’ve been dabbling with Vivaldi too, though I haven’t acclimated myself to it enough to make it my daily driver yet. I like that their philosophy is to bake as much functionality in natively instead of relying on potentially sketchy third-party extensions. The old version of Opera that this is modeled after was the Swiss army knife of browsers, and I’ve missed it dearly since it was laid to rest.

Bastiat never used math. Worked out OK for him.

I saw that, but I knew better than to read it.
the powerline Boys made it short and not so painful to read,
There’s a partner at one of the law firms we regularly use, and he’s a very nice guy. Overexuberant would describe him, too. All sorts of all-caps and multiple exclamation points after every sentence, and in his world there is never a cloud in the sky. He’s very much the same in person.
I’ve always been amused by him, but now I get why others are annoyed by him. Even when the shit hits the fan, it’s still the best day ever for this guy. At some point, I’d like for him to just level with me and say “look, we screwed up and we won’t let it happen again. We realize that you’re paying many thousands of dollars for our services, and we take that quite seriously.”
$20 says he has bodies buried in his basement.
Just the parts he doesn’t eat.

I’m hoping with this Solar Storm we are engulfed in at the present for some Aurora tonight, look North people!
I saw them when I was 3 years old and the image is embedded in my Brain
I don’t remember how old I was but we had an aurora all the way down here in Louisiana
Early to mid 1970s
It was 1966, in Santa Ana Cali, maybe that one? But yes it’s rare but cool to get down as low as we are….
Look North!
Oh I dunno, maybe?
I just remember we all stood out in the cold and marveled at it
I didn’t realize what a big deal it was at the time
Me neither but Mom made me look, and it was amazing for a Toddler, I have few memories that far back, but that’s one
Early ’80s I was working in the yard one evening and noticed a bright red cloud low in the NW sky. News the next day said that it was a rare aurora. Only time I’ve ever seen it.
However, I want to change that next year when we go to Alaska. Northern glibs; when is a good time of year for aurora displays?
So nice of you to give STEVE SMITH a heads up regarding your travel plans to Alaska. He’s very busy with many appointments. And by appointments he means…

The first glimpse of the photo literally took my breath away
I couldn’t believe it was real
Scary stuff
Legible Tablet typing!
I watched a lot of Cable back then, so yea, that was scary to see. Camille in ’69 was the first image I ever saw from space, and we lived in Tallahassee for that one, a big storm.
I looked for the image I can’t find it
It was shot from street level
The size of the the storm was unbelievable
It was like seeing a nuclear blast approaching
You could plainly see it was going to be total destruction and nothing you could do
I was working for the state then
Had to arm up and go to charity in NO and get their medical records

I was driving through New Orleans about two years ago, and noticed one of the buildings still had search markings (as did many buildings) from one of my National Guard battalion’s sister battalion. Eerie to see that.
I remember driving into New Orleans about five years ago with my wife and brother-in-law. We’d already driven through the ‘Bama about a week after the tornadoes, which was pretty spooky, but heading into New Orleans and seeing the damage that was still there outside the fancier parts of the city was sobering.
Yeah, that one was probably either in the Lower Ninth or Bywater. Was coming back from Chalmette Battlefield and stopped to pay my respects at this place.
That’s brutal. Barely push onshore and then spend the next day riding the coast line down to SC, before going inland.

This person thinks that there is anything a single person can do to influence natural disasters one way or the other. Basically, Trump is a warlock. Or maybe and old, white, male version of Storm from X-Men. I sure do hope they take part in our electoral process!
There must be hundreds, maybe thousands, of other people with the ability to control the weather, and we only know about this one because the media is scrutinizing him so much! WHAT ARE THOSE OTHER WEATHER CONTROLLING ASSHOLES UP TO?!?!?!111
Let me get this straight. The Paris accords would have reduced the increase in temperature by something like 0.1 degree Celsius 100 years from now if everyone did their part. So assuming that the reduction is linear and adjusting for the US share of emissions, the temperature is something like 0.0003 degrees higher than they would be if we had stayed in the Paris accord. And that’s what is causing the hurricane. And Trump is the crazy one.
It would not have done that
All it did was transfer US taxpayer dollars to banana republic dictators
I agree. I was just trying to science the shit out of it.
Not to mention aren’t we already well below our CO2 emissions targets due to fracking, while a lot of the euros are worse of because nukes = bad.

Like I said, I hope this guy never shuts up. He may as well be a deep cover Republican mole.

Obama needs a charity, or a hobby, or something.
He just did the Mr. Smith (not Mr. SMITH) goes to Washington thing and returned to his old job… community organizing.
If he was humble, he would have followed Bush’s lead and disappeared into private life.
If he was smart, he would have followed (Bill) Clinton’s lead and worked the speaking circuit for easy money.
If he was cunning, he would have run for governor of a large blue state or mayor of a large blue city.
But…
It would seem that the science is settled .
Well, Olive Garden was voted the best Italian Restaurant, so it only follows.
I’mma just leave this here.
White Castle!
Ever notice that gun mags always have lots of ads for whatever company’s products they are reviewing?
Payola, it’s not just for Radio……….
Car and motorcycle mags do the same thing. I guess I don’t mind the product placement if the review is fair.
Didn’t they win the Fast Food Wars in some movie?
/Derp
Some movie? SOME MOVIE!?
This is a movie that asks important questions: “We’re police officers! We’re not trained to handle this kind of violence!”
Also, this:
“You got that right. See, according to Cocteau’s plan, I’m the enemy. Cause I like to think, I like to read. I’m into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I’m the kind if guy who wants to sit in a greasy spoon and think, “Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?” I want high cholesterol. I want to eat bacon, butter and buckets of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in a non-smoking section. I wanna run through the streets naked with green Jello all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to. Okay, pal? I’ve seen the future, you know what it is? It’s a 47-year-old virgin sittin’ around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake singing “I’m an Oscar-Meyer Wiener”. You wanna live on top, you gotta live Cocteau’s way. What he wants, when he wants, how he wants. Your other choice: come down here, maybe starve to death.”
AAAnd , you lost me… when Denis Leary started spouting off his typical, cynical ramble, He destroyed an otherwise Good, fun Role, and I love Denis,
just Say’n
OK, fine, then how about this one?
Lenina Huxley: Ah, smoking is not good for you, and it’s been deemed that anything not good for you is bad; hence, illegal. Alcohol, caffeine, contact sports, meat…
John Spartan: Are you shitting me?
Moral Statute Machine: John Spartan, you are fined one credit for a violation of the Verbal Morality Statute.
John Spartan: What the hell is that?
Moral Statute Machine: John Spartan, you are fined one credit for a violation of the Verbal Morality Statute.
Lenina Huxley: Bad language, chocolate, gasoline, uneducational toys and anything spicy. Abortion is also illegal, but then again so is pregnancy if you don’t have a licence.
much better, I love the movie, but it’s not the place for Leary’s standup shtick, timeline didn’t add up, and he was already in a good role, why waste perfection?
Also i just noticed,
LENIN(a)
Huxley
Sets the tone for the whole movie, did I miss that all these years?
FloridaMan® and FloridaWoman® out for some fresh air .
In their defense, they don’t look like they have a lot of “inside” to go do that in.
Seems there is someone for everyone. They make a sweet couple.
Think of the Christmas photo cards they must send out.
14 arrests between them THIS YEAR
Holy crap
Guessing they’re homeless. And enjoy beverages.
The ‘long walks on the beach’ finally got tiresome, I suppose.
So they like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain?
They definitely weren’t making love at midnight.
If you thought “Heathers” was rough, now its the Nicholes .
Dude, she gave you the wrong number on purpose.
He was wearing a jean vest with metal buttons FFS.
Nicole said she plans on meeting for coffee with Carlos, but just as friends.
Friend-zoned already!
Was it his formal evening wear jean vest with metal buttons or his office casual jean vest with metal buttons?
This is Canada we’re talking about, so I feel inclined to ask.
Judge for yourself.
What a dumbass
Girls don’t give wrong numbers on accident
Lol, yup. Some guy called my work recently looking for a Stephanie who have him our #.
My sister used to give guys the number of an exterminator who always answered the phone “University Pest Control.”
“Nevada professor allegedly shot himself to protest Trump: report
A College of Southern Nevada (CSN) sociology professor allegedly shot himself while on campus last month to protest President Trump, police said.
Mark Bird, a professor emeritus at CSN in Las Vegas, was found suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on the morning of August 28, Richard Lake, a CSN spokesman, told Fox News. He was treated for the injury to his arm and was arrested, Lake said.
Bird was charged with carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, discharging a gun within a prohibited structure and possessing a dangerous weapon on school property, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
In their report, police said Bird told them he shot himself near a campus bathroom to protest Trump, according to the Review-Journal. A $100 bill was also taped inside the bathroom with a note indicating it was “for the janitor,” the report said.”

How was that supposed to work?
The same way all the other shit in his head works. Magic!
Sounds good
How can we encourage more of this type of protest?
I’m thinking he shot himself by accident, then made up the Trump excuse.
By golly, that’ll really show him !
Those seem like some pretty solid charges. Oh how I hope his judge is wearing a MAGA hat.
I was gonna make a bad joke like could of had a .45, but seriously, if you are that worked up over who is president, please seek help.

But instead of Ed McMahon, you get John Kasich standing in your front yard with a giant cardboard check.
I think I see the problem.

Trump had 0 to do with the 6 year growth trend we are currently enjoying.
Ooh, so close. The correct answer is, “the President, regardless of party, does not run the economy.”
Yeah, well then why do we elect a President then Mr. Smart-guy?! The glorious leader is responsible for EVERYTHING.
LMFAO
What is that even about?
” Did U know artificial sweeteners also never leave your liver & soda does not hydrate the body?! Please find an alternative.”
No Wonder my liver weighs 25 pounds!
/Idiot
Artificial sweeteners break down in the beverage if left on the shelf for too long, they certainly don’t live in your body forever.
