We need a Constitutionalist version of Soros. Some big Daddy Warbucks who would pay for normal people to go and protest, do petition drives, and otherwise advocate and agitate for a return to government based on our founding document.
Otherwise, they are winning. But once they win too much, things will get...unpleasant. As the aforementioned increase in firearm purchases would indicate.

That's the thing -- if you have good deals the will come no matter what day.
I think the only draw back is that the can move merchandise faster by selling earlier. But, I'm sure the drop in injuries and law suits may compensate. Plus, you can increase hours.

SAME story at a Barnes and Noble.
When looking for a book I knew they had, called ahead. Asked the clerk where it was. He pointed to a computer, said look it up.
I said, fvck you, you look it up and take me to it, the store is not paying you to direct customers to a computer.
He was not pleased, he did his job and took me to the book. At the check out I mentioned I would be buying all my books on Amazon from now on. I don't have to argue with the help on line.

They had one on earlier in the season where the piano playing guy made fun of a guy carrying a purse. The guy said no, it's a tote. The piano guy kept referring to it as a purse in kind of a mincy sounding voice.

The last time I bought a mattress and box spring I went to Sleep Experts and expected the hard up-sell. I wanted a base set, that's all, and was brutally up-front about it. Sales guy was totally cool and didn't do anything but show and sell me exactly what I wanted.
I sent a note to them later about how pleased and happy I was with the experience, but, I might well have gotten the sales associate in trouble with his uppers.

It is very organized. I bought a table from them. You go on line, they tell you if it's in stock and if it is give you the location in the warehouse.
You are on your own from then on. You have to find it in the warehouse, get it on a carrier, pay for it and put it in your truck or whatever.

For the most part, I buy dish towels and kitchens there. My wife buys glass containers for her florist business because they are cheaper than her wholesalers can provide.
On kitchens, I used IKEA cabinets when I built my son's house. Unless you are going with expensive custom built boxes, IKEA is the way to go. They are exact to the millimeter and have great interchangeability.
In this lake house, I had the choice of doing dark wood and stainless steel or going with white bead board and glass. With IKEA, I was able to do both, by buying another set of doors that can be changed out in a few hours.
Imagine being able to change the look of your kitchen in a morning.
I believe this is the future of cabinets.

Yes. That's about where I am. I haven't read the story, I doubt its veracity by default, but even if he did say something insulting, if he's a f*cking reporter, he probably deserved it. He was probably smugly thinking, "I'm disabled! I'm special! I can do evil things to people and they can't call me out because I'm in a PC class, and if they do I can accuse them of bigotry!"

Why are people still watching TV? I don't condemn you. To use Christian terminology, this issue is "adiaphora".
Some people must do this, like Vic. Just like in ancient Jewish culture it was accepted that, although touching diseased bodies made you unclean, doctors had to do this and special provisions were made for them.
But if watching TV makes you miserable more often than not, as I discovered a few decades ago, why continue watching it? Just chuck it out, and do netflix. Get what you like and exclude everything else.

Watco Teak oil -- amazing stuff. Looks like varnish, hard as nails, dries to a cross between semi-gloss and gloss. It seems the gloss is determined by the relative existing smoothness. Stain first, let dry thoroughly, then use. They claim you can just 'wipe on' but I used a fine brush.

Because they are produced by SJW and they believe this is the best way to turn the population's sympathies. The advertising is second. If you doubt this, or wonder about the money, just remember the Mozilla CEO who lost his job because he privately gave money to Prop.8 in Ca. years ago and it was brought to light before the gay marriage fatwah was being issued by the Supreme Court.
Most of these new age companies are totally run by SJW. They will use their company for their own purposes, first and foremost.

Sorry for the late response, Vic, I have a life. (Thank you for the morning news, by the way. You're reliable and do noble service.) Anyway, I call BS. We talk anecdotally about this stuff a lot, but when you get down to brass tacks, quote a rule that was violated and by whom. The GOPe or RNCe is not a person.
I have a lot of heartburn when, say, the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee or its House counterpart (less often) choose to endorse a candidate and contribute to his or her campaign before the primary. Usually it's for incumbent protection. But that is different from some nebulous "GOPe" or "RNCe" intervening in party presidential politics, and that alleged intervention being used to justify that the eventual candidate shouldn't have to get a majority of delegates at the convention to be nominated. That's just too much a stretch. Are you saying that the delegates should vote for a candidate who doesn't command a majority? Wouldn't that be worse? How exactly would that work, anyway?

Ironic, given that back in the '60's and '70's, "black" was the new, politically-correct self-chosen descriptor for afro-Americans, intended to replace the oh-so-rayciss "Negro". Huey Newton is now a rayciss for advocating for "Black Power"? How quaint.

I had quite a few Ikea pieces when I was in my 20's. That's sort of the prime age group for Ikea - people who have moved out on their own and need furniture. You can't yet afford really nice stuff but you're past college-age milk cartons and boards and bricks and taped posters on the walls decorating. Ikea's stuff is cute and cheap so you don't have to depend on Goodwill for your furniture. When you can finally afford to replace it with something of better quality (much of my "good" furniture consists of great finds at estate sales) you can put the Ikea stuff out on the curb without feeling guilty.
Ikea stuff can look stylish, but often putting it together was baffling. Their instructions are minimal and I remember there was always something off. Too many screws or bolts left out, edges weren't exactly flush, the end tables wobbled - and even boyfriends who were far more handy than I was couldn't get things just right because the furniture wasn't well made. At least I knew not to buy a bed from them - do that and you're stuck buying only their sheets and bedding for as long as you have the bed because their beds are euro sizes and American sized sheets won't fit them.

This is what is called CYA. Especially with banks worried, rightfully so, about the new Financial board accusing them of racism. See Ally Bank settlement on trumped up charges.

I've never had Ikea faux-wood stuff that didn't fit together, and I've almost never had missing fasteners, but you have to prep all the parts - make sure the holes you put the dowels in are clear, etc - and if you want it to be solid (i.e. not able to be taken apart) you have to plan on gluing and sometimes adding extra fasteners.
The metal stuff is often junk but there's a few gems.
The kitchen cabinets are surprisingly good if you take your time assembling them (of course if you're paying a contractor to assemble them you're not saving anything), very good doors and hardware, cheap boxes. The hardboard backs are crap, and ideally you want to run off some 3/16 or 1/4 ply to replace them.

Did that last year, and never regretted it. I do miss a couple of cable channels, but not that much. Like the endless selection of old movies on Youtube..

(Thank you for the morning news, by the way. You're reliable and do
noble service.) Anyway, I call BS. We talk anecdotally about this stuff a
lot, but when you get down to brass tacks, quote a rule that was
violated and by whom. The GOPe or RNCe is not a person.
I
have a lot of heartburn when, say, the Republican Senatorial Campaign
Committee or its House counterpart (less often) choose to endorse a
candidate and contribute to his or her campaign before the primary.
Usually it's for incumbent protection. But that is different from some
nebulous "GOPe" or "RNCe" intervening in party presidential politics,
and that alleged intervention being used to justify that the eventual
candidate shouldn't have to get a majority of delegates at the
convention to be nominated. That's just too much a stretch. Are you
saying that the delegates should vote for a candidate who doesn't
command a majority? Wouldn't that be worse? How exactly would that work,
anyway?
Posted by: Caesar North of the Rubicon at November 27, 2015 10:53 AM (5f5bM)
The specific rule I was referring to is this:
RULE NO. 11
Candidate Support
(a) The Republican National Committee shall not, without the prior written and filed approval of all members of the Republican National Committee from the state involved, contribute money or in- kind aid to any candidate for any public or party office of that state except the nominee of the Republican Party or a candidate who is unopposed in the Republican primary after the filing deadline for that office. In those states where state law establishes a non-partisan primary in which Republican candidates could participate, but in which the general election may not include a Republican candidate, the candidate endorsed by a convention held under the authority of the state Republican Party shall be recognized by the Republican National Committee as the Republican nominee.
Specific instances that are the most egregious are Mookow in AK and Thad Cockcran in Mississippi. Those come immediately to mind. I am sure with a little research we can find a lot more.

Hell, about half of my furniture is Ikea. But I stuck with the solid wood stuff. Even then, it's still kind of light, sometimes you have to glue things to give it some extra oomph. If I had kids, I'd avoid the Ikea furniture, they'd tear it apart.
But lots of the accessories are nice. My pots/pans are all Ikea and I'm extremely happy with them.
Best thing is that last weekend I bought one of their smaller kitchen islands and I'm getting that set up as my reloading bench. The construction appears to be sturdy enough to handle my Lyman turret press with no problem. Not bad for $60.
