Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Thursday's ONT is Shooting From The HipStraight linkfest tonight gang. I got home later than usual, I was wondering if I was even going to have time to write this at all. Basically this is the ONT equivalent of a sitcom clips show. Fringe on Fringe Fight! Why the Alt-Right Thinks Porn is a Jewish Conspiracy What happens when the far left takes aim at the alt-right? Fun for the whole family! I mean, White Supremacist "logic" is a dog's breakfast of contradiction and inferiority (example: The Juice! are using porn to sap the white man's Purity Of Essence because they want to bring down the superior race, yet if white men are unusually susceptible to this confounding copulation chicanery, wouldn't that make them evolutionarily inferior?), but the author of the article thinks that the problem with porn is that people aren't spending enough money on it. It's like a multi-vehicle pileup of clown cars

Here's a partial list of TBS advertisers and sponsors:
Many of the advertisers on TBS are owned by large conglomerates who own multiple brands and products marketed on TBS. So, wherever I could, I tried to put the parent company instead of the individual brand or product. That shortens the list, and you can also look them up to see which of their many, many brands and products you might like to boycott. I've excluded charitable foundations from this list: Kraft-Heinz Foods; Olive Garden; Otsuka Pharmaceutical; Warner Bros.; ApartmentList.com; Sol Cerveza; McDonald's; Red Robin; Nestle; TracFone Wireless; Whole Foods; Lowe's; PepsiCo; Progressive Insurance; Oscar Meyer; Tempur Sealy International; Philips Norelco; Hershey's; General Mills; Procter & Gamble; UTI.edu; Bridgestone; Cici's Pizza; MillerCoors; Dole Fruit, Nautilus/Bowflex; Dunkin Brands; Little Caesar's Pizza; Bacardi; Honda; Shire Pharmaceutical; Restaurant Brands International; Global Road Entertainment; Kimberley-Clark; Home Depot; TripAdvisor; Schick Razors; DriveTime.com; Ferrara Candy; Jose Cuervo; Navy Federal Credit Union; Office Depot; Indeed.com; Priceline; Mars; Subway; AtomTickets; Nectar Mattress; Pizza Hut; Vistaprint; Subaru; Unilever; Mini Cooper; Chattem; Sling; CreditRepair.com; Corona; Apartments.com; Coca-Cola; GEICO; Dine Brands Global; Jersey Mike's Subs; Church & Dwight Co.; AARP; Domino's; Apple; Tyson Foods; Actavis Generics; American Family Insurance; Frito Lay; MMISuccess.com; Yum!

Red,
Sometimes I awaken in the morning with sore knees. Has to do with sleeping on my side and pressure on my knees. I have hinky menisci and have to tread carefully when I squat and when I run downhill. I have found, believe it or not, that squats done according to Rippetoe (Ace and Insty talk about him a bunch) strengthens the surround muscles enough that my knee pain is much, much better. Here's hoping you improve rapidly! Posted by: LadyTheo, A harriette through and through. at May 31, 2018 10:02 PM (88mZw) Posted by: ibguy at May 31, 2018 10:02 PM (vUcdz) 39

For those Morons who are still on Facebook (possibly none), have you defriended anyone for being really obnoxious politically? I haven't (at least not just for that), but I'm getting close to it with one of my friends; I told her I was going to delete all her comments on my posts until she acknowledged her hypocrisy on the Roseanne/Samantha Bee thing. Which will never happen. I've been wondering if that was an extreme reaction on my part.

So the Starbucks policy of welcoming anyone to use their bathrooms and tables. It isn't just a matter of employees having to clean the filth up after homeless drug addicts and drunks leave. They're taking up space that customers need.
I don't go to Starbucks, but if I did I wouldn't want to wait for a table because some drunk derelict is sitting there. Also, I wouldn't want to use a seat afterwards, because drunks can be, um, incontinent. And don't get me started on the restrooms. And I wouldn't want to be an employee in a large city Starbucks, and have to clean the bathrooms. Posted by: nerdygirl at May 31, 2018 10:06 PM (+lVUW) 56

I love the dare tweet about tagging in LE.
Brilliant!! Heh. I got banned from a liberal message board for basically the exact same thing over a decade ago. (Challenged a pro-Palestinian guy to travel to Israel (on my dime no less), where I would walk up and down in front of IDF HQ for an hour wearing a sandwich-board saying "God bless the PLO", he would do the same in Gaza except his board would say "God bless the IDF". He refused, I hounded him about his cowardice, and I got banned for "wishing death" on another poster. Which, I think, pretty much proved my point) Posted by: Weirddave at May 31, 2018 10:09 PM (vFKpB) 69
I completely agree that its crazy to claim that Porn is a Juice conspiracy against the white man. As I've mentioned before I personally known a girl who went into porn after college. SO I know more about it than your joe schmoe off the street. There are A LOT of horrible things and people in that industry that are worthy of disgust. But its not some Jewish conspiracy. Crazy talk.
That said - I also don't trust that MEL article one bit because the author proudly lists that his writing has appeared at The Atlantic, Vox and the Washington Post. With THAT on his resume its guaranteed his writing is poorly researched and riddled with intentional lies and negligent errors. Posted by: Nationalist Pikachu at May 31, 2018 10:09 PM (PTA8E) 70

Somebody (last name Hanson?, not the one you know) on the twatters already demonstrated the proper SBUX strategy. He brought in food from somewhere else (Chick-Fil-A), got on his laptop, and ordered Black Rifle Coffee beans using SBUX's wi-fi.
I would have hoped by now someone would have held a staff meeting, with Chick-Fil-A and McDonald's coffee, at a SBUX, taking up most of their space. Not spending a dime. And video'd it, of course.

70 Springers show was more varied. Whores, brothers sleeping with wife's sister, guy married to a tranny but didn't know it , etc. Lots of fights.
Posted by: Lancelot Link Secret Agent Chimp at May 31, 2018 10:09 PM (y1gYQ) I never watched Springer much, but I do distinctly remember one episode featuring trannies, where a guy was in a relationship with a tranny, but also had a side thing going with the tranny's cousin, who was....also a tranny. (I don't remember if he knew their status or not.) Anyway, the two "ladies" confronted each other and started going at it, and the crowd was chanting "fight like a man! Fight like a man!" All of which is to say....yeah, Springer's got some cajones making that statement. Posted by: T at May 31, 2018 10:16 PM (MmeCn) 107

Tell him his uncle arranged part of 2112 (bells and percussion) for a marching band street cadence in high school. Our director never had a clue. Lol"
Our drum section in marching band were pretty wild, but they were good drummers and they used to have this brilliant cadence they would break into whenever the band was going on and off the field, or whenever they had a chance to do some "traveling music" on any occasion. Everyone always thought it was just something they came up with on their own, and it was years later before I realized they had appropriated a chunk of Inna Gadda da Vida. And damn, it was good.

Here's a partial list of TBS advertisers and sponsors: Many of the advertisers on TBS are owned by large conglomerates who own multiple brands and products marketed on TBS. So, wherever I could, I tried to put the parent company instead of the individual brand or product. That shortens the list, and you can also look them up to see which of their many, many brands and products you might like to boycott. I've excluded charitable foundations from this list: Kraft-Heinz Foods; Olive Garden; Otsuka Pharmaceutical; Warner Bros.; ApartmentList.com; Sol Cerveza; McDonald's; Red Robin; Nestle; TracFone Wireless; Whole Foods; Lowe's; PepsiCo; Progressive Insurance; Oscar Meyer; Tempur Sealy International; Philips Norelco; Hershey's; General Mills; Procter Gamble; UTI.edu; Bridgestone; Cici's Pizza; MillerCoors; Dole Fruit, Nautilus/Bowflex; Dunkin Brands; Little Caesar's Pizza; Bacardi; Honda; Shire Pharmaceutical; Restaurant Brands International; Global Road Entertainment; Kimberley-Clark; Home Depot; TripAdvisor; Schick Razors; DriveTime.com; Ferrara Candy; Jose Cuervo; Navy Federal Credit Union; Office Depot; Indeed.com; Priceline; Mars; Subway; AtomTickets; Nectar Mattress; Pizza Hut; Vistaprint; Subaru; Unilever; Mini Cooper; Chattem; Sling; CreditRepair.com; Corona; Apartments.com; Coca-Cola; GEICO; Dine Brands Global; Jersey Mike's Subs; Church Dwight Co.; AARP; Domino's; Apple; Tyson Foods; Actavis Generics; American Family Insurance; Frito Lay; MMISuccess.com; Yum! Brands; Endurance Auto insurance; Hampton Inn; Dave Buster's; Clorox Chemical; Boost Mobile; Jiffy Lube; Crown Royal; Twisted Tea; Volkswagen; Verizon; CapitalOne; Sleep Number; Microsoft; Infiniti; Purple Mattress; Budweiser; Lexus; Blue Apron; Hormel Foods; Payless Shoes; RumChata; Purina; Simply Good Foods; Sun Detergents; Johnson Johnson; Best Western; Senior Helpers; BMW; State Farm Insurance; Capella University; University of Arizona; Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at May 31, 2018 10:00 PM (UiRxW) So it will be difficult to boycott all of them, but we should pick 3 of them and make a campaign out of it. I like the fact that Target and Kellogg's have been stuffed by conservatives and paid at the bottom line. AARP, State Farm Insurance, and Navy Federal Credit Union are my 3. All big corporations, not involved with franchisees/small business to get screwed, and there are competitors for all of them to switch your business if you are a customer now.

Isn't this what every Democrat does all the time, regardless of the question or the venue? Make the media cover our side by talking about nothing else. And tell any member unwilling to participate that they won't get a red cent for their re-election campaign. It's called hardball and the Democrats are masters at it.

Poor Disney -- just another Mom and Pop trying to keep its nose clean in the rough neighborhood of American culture. That's how Lloyd Greif, a Los Angeles-based investor sees the multi-billion-dollar entertainment conglomerate. Writing in The Washington Post, he claimed that Disney, in spite of recent events, wants to and should stay out of the "culture war" to avoid alienating its audience. "Choosing sides - Democrat or Republican - is a lose-lose since we're talking about alienating potentially half of the viewership," Greif wrote.

This price run-up probably can't be sustained, though, so it might get rough in the middle. Rising interest rates are gonna be a bitch. Most people buy a payment, so if your payment is fixed and the interest rate goes up, the principal is gonna have to go down. Won't happen yet, but 6% is probably gonna be a wake-up call.

Seems I remember a somewhat recent post, or a slug of comments in a post, about Ben Shapiro being, well, Ben Shapiro.
Scrolling through the May archives I can't find a headline that says "This is it." If anyone remembers it and could give me just one ping only to point the way I'd appreciate it.

Not to be wet-blanket-ish about it, but bear in mind that your property tax will go up accordingly. That year-over-year cost must be subtracted from the sale (when it occurs) in reckoning net gain. That can be substantial. In our case, we have paid probably $80,000 in taxes over the period of ownership.
More to the point, whatever Redfin says, things are only worth what someone will actually pay for it. Redfin says that our house is worth $200K more than my estimate. Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at May 31, 2018 11:38 PM (FJXGr) 355

Drop me an email. Last week, I purchased an 8" bench grinder from an absolute tool maniac, who has all the Bridgeport mill and South Bend lathe goodies, as well as every woodworking tool known to man. (a two car garage and a six car garage, all swept clean and sanitary, with all the tools in Smithsonian condition.) He has the patent on a device to shave the saddle under the neck, to VERY precise dimensions, to allow an under-neck pickup to be installed with PERFECT fit and zero tolerances. I've got his card here, and will be happy to send you the info thereon. Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at May 31, 2018 11:48 PM (QzJWU) 373
ibguy, please prioritize Alex because he was here first but I have a southern Ohio question for you.
Many years ago, I was driving back out west and came into Ohio from West Virginia. I drove through a small city that was the most idyllic and picturesque small/midsize American town I have ever seen. I always intended to look into further because it was a real gem but I forgot the name of it in the hustle-and-bustle of the drive back. If I recall correctly, it was anchored by an insurance company or a finance firm of some kind. Any chance you might know the town I'm talking about? I know this is the very definition of "vague" but perhaps your local expertise can help. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at May 31, 2018 11:48 PM (UkTzC) 374

How old was Queen Esther when she was brought to King Artaxerxes? She was described as exceedingly beautiful but would we see her as beautiful today? I wonder about things like that. ------------------ Probably a bit plumper than our usual standards of beauty these days (a little bit of cushion means more fertile). And no tan. Tans are for peasants that have to spend all day outdoors. On the other hand, there's reason to believe that some of our standards of beauty are based on inherited biological markers. So we'd probably still think she was attractive, albeit perhaps not to the same degree as Artaxerxes. Posted by: junior at June 01, 2018 12:29 AM (i1ynK) 442

@514 I just learned at FB, that Susan Rice's son, is a leader of the College Republicans at Stanford University.
---------------- Read an article about him a day or two ago. IIRC, he got his start when his Dad occasionally listened to Rush in the car... and the son decided that Rush's arguments made more sense than his Dad's. Publicly, Mom says that she fully supports her son, and is glad that he's able to think for himself. It's pretty clear that quite a few progs over at Stanford don't like him.

I'm sorry, but I gotta share this from Quora. I think people here will enjoy...
What was the craziest thing you've seen in a restaurant? Mike Neville, Worked in a few, ran a small cafe with my wife. Updated 11h ago I worked in a 24 hrs steak house in Montreal for a while. I worked the night shift. We were right next door to a popular gay bar and across the street from a major hotel. We received customers from both those establishments. The hookers came from the hotel and the transvestites came from the club. These two groups didn't get along well. One night one of the hookers was slipping the sugar packs from the table into her purse. One of the transvestites saw this and passed over the sugar bowl from her table. Along with a comment something like "I see you must have had a bad night dearie, I did much better let me help you out." Next thing you know the air is full of flying high heels and purses. The ladies are all screaming, pulling hair and rolling in the aisles. Full scale gang war, trannies vs hookers. Our manager, a recent arrival from India and a very reserved gentleman was stunned. He just leaned against the bar wide eyed, mouth agape, unable to react at all. The bartender, an old salt who had seen it all, signaled to me and the other staff and we started sorting it all out. Hookers out the front, trannies out the back, they can settle it in the alley if they want to continue. A normal late night in downtown Montreal.

Screen savers were specifically designed to combat screen burn-in, and had their hey-day long before plasma became wide spread. There was fear of burn-in even with the older monitors. Although if it ever happened, I didn't hear about it.
Posted by: junior ------------ The issue was the 'aging' of the phosphors of CRT's. This was the case for all CRT's, whether TV, oscilloscopes, whatever. It only became a significant issue with CRT monitors for computers because of the likelihood of a fixed pattern being displayed repeatedly, and for an extended period of time. So far as screen blanking goes these days, I believe that it is strictly a matter of power saving. The screen consumes probably 20%-30% of the power while the computer is idle.

You know what I've noticed? 90% (it's an estimate based on skipping around on i-heart radio) talk radio stations that broadcast conservative shows, feature network news from ABC. CBS, NBC every 30 minutes. The radio newscasts make their TV counterparts look absolutely objective.
So, the owners of these stations are like: "Yeah, Rush brings me the money, but, he's the entertainment for the rubes. I'll do my civic duty and correct them with "objective news." As I write this, ABC Radio News is on KTSE CROWING about Trey Gowdy's exoneration of the FBI regarding the Obama/Clinton spy op on Trump's campaign. There's duplicity in the radio biz for money and then there's Trey Gowdy--the purest and most loathsome example of duplicity. I wonder how many people are in prison on shaky grounds thanks to this bastard. Posted by: Dion at June 01, 2018 02:58 AM (joP9E) 599

>>>The Juice! are using porn to sap the white man's Purity Of Essence because they want to bring down the superior race, yet if white men are unusually susceptible to this confounding copulation chicanery, wouldn't that make them evolutionarily inferior?
You can show empirically Jews aren't the main drivers behind pr0n (Hef, Flynt, Guccione, etc. none are Jewish). But the assertion that the inferior can never defeat something superior is obviously untrue. i) Let's say ebola wipes out an entire village. Are those viruses really more complex, sophisticated, able to perform a wider range of functions, etc.? ii) Or a thug pretends to be in distress and some compassionate granny helps him out and he assaults and robs her. He has leveraged her superiority against her. He wins because he is *inferior*. iii) Or a leftist pulling hoaxes to gain sympathy, or browbeating compassionate people over the head with arguments like "support my bill, or else you don't care about the chilluns or the planet". Again using people's virtues against them. iv) Or the seemingly inevitable victory of Islam over much of Europe and Canada. /rant off Posted by: Steve and Cold Bear at June 01, 2018 05:11 AM (/qEW2) 619

Posted by: Skip at June 01, 2018 05:02 AM (aC6Sd) A splash of white vinegar in the water helps with the peeling of the shell after boiling. The vinegar has no effect on the taste of the boiled eggs. A trick I learned from my Mom (and her deviled eggs) well over 40 years ago. My technique is to put the eggs in cold water/vinegar, bring to a boil in a pot with a lid. Once at a boil turn off heat and let sit anywhere from 8 to 11 minutes, depending on how hard you want that yolk to be. Me? I push closer to 8 minutes than 11; I like runny boiled eggs.

", the Queen is descended from Mohammed."
Except that according to the article she is descended from Zaida who converted to Catholicism and took the name of Isabella. The queen descends from someone who left islam and forswear the so-called 'prophet', who was an apostate in other words, and a woman to boot. The message here is for muslims to leave islam and convert to Christianity, in particular, to Catholicism. Can't believe they would be happy about that. Perhaps someone should spell it out to them.

Hard boiled eggs, Hah!
The last batch I did, the water was a low boil. I didn't think it was important. They were impossible to peel. Threw them away in frustration. Put the eggs in cold water, heat water to boiling (tablespoon of vinegar in the water), roiling boil for 8-9 minutes. Then dump into colander under cold water; water so cold it hurts your hands. The shells almost fall off when you get that cold water under the shell. Then the eggs going into vinegar to pickle for three or four days if they last that long.

I usually, immediately after boiling, run eggs in colander under running water to take the temp down quickly to around fifty degrees, then into separate bowl filled with ice and water. Let sit maybe five minutes. Never a problem with getting shells off with this method. Posted by: Forgot My Nic at June 01, 2018 06:23 AM (LOgQ4) 633

Posted by: Colin I got the Ryobi. It auto feeds the line every time you turn it off, and advances it about a quarter inch. So you lose some of it you start and stop it a lot. We don't have that much to do, so I don't mind replacing the line maybe once a year. Posted by: Bruce at June 01, 2018 06:55 AM (8ikIW) 648

Posted by: CrotchetyOldJarhead I had a 2 stroke that developed some problems. However, it would cut thru a rock if you didn't keep it moving.

Posted by: Colin at June 01, 2018 06:48 AM Not only do they last, they're getting more powerful every year. I recently bought a chain saw, pole trimmer, and leaf blower that run off the same 40 volt lithium battery. Went to Lowes recently and noticed they now sell a 60 volt battery. I was surprised the chain saw really did a decent job, especially on some good hardwood. No more gas/oil mixtures or repeated pull starts for me. It's actually a little safer as the chain spins down to a stop much quicker then gas powered. Posted by: Forgot My Nic at June 01, 2018 06:58 AM (LOgQ4) 650

Posted by: Darrell at June 01, 2018 02:05 AM (oLhbH) No, she's about 65,000 tons. Our newest ones are about 100,000. That does mean she's the first real carrier they've built since the old Ark Royal, rather than a light carrier. It's kind of sad, really. They invented the aircraft carrier, but in the 1930s fell behind not just us, but the Japanese too. It didn't help that the planes and pilots mostly belonged to the RAF, not the RN, until just before WWII. Posted by: George LeS at June 01, 2018 08:30 AM (59GGI) 656

I really hate the 'the alt-right thinks' pieces. Anyone who has issues with the cuck right is alt to the mainstream right. It is diverse. You probably couldn't get the entirety of the alt right to agree on any point other than that the mainstream right sucks donkey dicks.
Alt right label means of the right, not of the mainstream right. It means nothing about what they affirmatively believe. It is as dumb as talking about the religious beliefs of non-hindus (with Hindus standing in for mainstream). They don't agree. On anything. It would encompass everything from Communist Atheists to Paki-Islamo terrorists to the pope and the as of yet uncontacted tribes of the amazon. Its just dumb to talk about the religious beliefs of the non-Hindus, or the political beliefs of the alt right. Especially since so many self described alt rights aren't even on the right at all in my humble opinion....there are ethnic socialists in the supposed alt right, and no proper definition of 'right' includes marxists who aren't sufficiently marxist for the commies who control our language. The whole 'Nazis are on the right' is a function of the Stalinists and Stalinist sympathizers being ever so slightly further left than the radically left German National Socialist Workers Party.

My youth was spent working bumping elbows and socializing with stoners. yes, Marijuana makes you stupid and this is the best example I've seen. I've read where the number of stoned drivers in accidents is fast over taking DUI with alcohol. I believe it, one fellow I worked with framing houses managed to get stoned and run into a train at a crossing that was sitting parked on the tracks. His excuse was, "What train?" and "OH THAT TRAIN, I didn't see it maaaan!" The boy stoned at work somehow managed to shoot a 3 1/2 inch nail from a nail gun through his hand and nailed it to a rafter, then managed to plant one in his thigh putting in windbraces.
