The Quotes of The Day

Quote I
"Our good, fresh, cool air is getting less all the time, it seems like,"Brian Sackett, Michigan farmer

Quote II
“Although we cannot comment on any particular student, SUNY Geneseo respects every student’s right to freedom of speech and expression,” SUNY Geneseo spokeswoman

Really?

Quote III
“They want to say, ‘What about the surge?’ Well, first of all, just gut check, stop. Anyone who is using the term ‘surge’ around you consciously is trying to invoke a militaristic frame. And that’s a problem because these — this is not a surge, these are children, and they are not insurgents, and we are not being invaded. Which, by the way, is a white supremacist idea, philosophy. The idea that if an other is coming in the population, that this is like an invasion of who we are.”Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)

Once again she displays that her bra size is greater than her IQ.

Quote IV
"I'm convinced that if we act now, in 50 years people will look back and say: This was the moment that America won future." Resident of the White House, Vicious Dog Owner Joe Biden

Quote V
I am here in my office in Paris. And I can see the warehouse with a 360-degree view. I hear everything. I have a steering wheel. I have pedals. And I can drive the forklift.” Stéphanie Hervé, Geodis SA chief operation officer for Western Europe

Quote VI
"My father didn't raise a snitch or a rat." G. Gordon Liddy

Did you hear about the lawyer who said, "Double dawg dare you"?

Lawyer Who Said Disbarment Would Be “an Honor” Has Finally Been Honored
Question: How long do you think it would take to get disbarred if you not only agreed to that result, but actually requested and in fact rudely demanded that you be disbarred?
Your answer: Not long?
The right answer: Four years.
Well, I wouldn’t count on having four years if you’re planning to try this, but it took almost four years in this case.

We are not quite the sheep "they" believe us to be.

Demand for vaccines is already waning in some parts of the country
Some states are expanding vaccine eligibility partially because of a troubling reason: Not enough people want to get vaccinated.
What we're watching: Vaccine supplies are still limited, but they're already outpacing demand in some parts of the country, especially rural areas. And that could be a bad sign for the future.
Where it stands: 14 states have made all adults eligible to receive a coronavirus vaccine, and the vast majority have said they will do so by or before President Biden's May 1 goal.

Need a hobby? Ever think about taking up pottery? Be careful if you do.NSFW

Maybe Adriana Sierra needs to take up pottery.

A drunk mother got kicked out a nightclub – then attacked her boyfriend with a hairdryer after he refused to have sex with her, police say. Adriana Sierra allegedly bludgeoned her boyfriend in the early hours of Sunday after climbing on top of him and demanding sex, only to be told no.
She is said to have gone clubbing while her partner stayed at home to watch their kids, then came home in a drunken rage after being kicked out. Sierra’s partner said the noise she was making woke up their children, and that she picked up a hairdryer by its cord, striking him several times with the device.
The man, who wasn’t named, said Sierra then picked up their daughter and ran to the house next door. Police were called, with Sierra claiming she had suffered domestic violence at the hands of her partner, telling an officer ‘He just beat my ass.’

Both had injuries, but Sierra was arrested after shouting ‘Let me back around him and I’ll beat his ass again,’ while being questioned by police.

I would let them. The world needs fewer Geniuses. Russian officials plead with tourists to stop taking selfies next to an erupting volcano.

The Russian Emergencies Ministry was forced to issue a public warning about the mortal danger of getting to close to the crater of an erupting volcano, after photos and videos of daredevils right next to a lava filled volcano cone started showing up online.
Klyuchevskaya Sopka, an active volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula, in the Russian Far East, recently became a hotspot for adrenalin-seeking tourists, as the spectacular formation of a second volcano hole allowed them to get close enough to actually cook meat and sausages on the hot rock surrounding the erupting volcano. But while the trend may have started with funny pics and videos of sausages sizzling on a natural stove made of volcanic rock, it grew into something a lot more dangerous, with people getting close enough to the cone to film inside it, completely disregarding the lava bombs shooting out of it.

This is obviously not the Aunt Jemimah treatment. Genius Award Winners.

Two Joint Base Lewis-McChord soldiers were arrested Sunday in Olympia, Wash., after using handguns and a knife to rob a pizza delivery driver and force him into the backseat of a vehicle, according to local police.
Pfcs. Daniel Cano-Real, 19, and John Medina, 20, are charged with first-degree robbery and kidnapping and were listed Tuesday as inmates at Thurston County Jail with bond set at $150,000.
Officers with the Olympia Police Department pulled over a vehicle at about 12:45 a.m. Sunday for driving the wrong way on a one-way street in downtown Olympia and found the two soldiers and a 19-year-old man inside, said Lt. Paul Lower, a police spokesman. One soldier was driving with a Domino's pizza box sitting in the passenger seat. The other soldier was in the backseat with a man wearing a Domino's T-shirt.

I wish ~~Grand View~~ Last View Hospital in Ironwood, MI had known of this invention. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

High School Senior Invents Color-Changing Sutures That Detect Infection

A senior at Iowa City West High School in Iowa has invented medical stitches that change color to let patients know if a wound is infected.
17-year-old Dasia Taylor was named one of 40 finalists in the Regeneron Science Talent Search, the nation's most prestigious science and math competition for high school seniors.
Dasia's sutures work by changing color if the patients pH level alters, indicating an infection.
PH is one of the most prevalent parts of wound healing, Dasia said. It changes very quickly, so it’s one of the fastest ways to identify infection.
So, she started experimenting with root vegetables.

90 Brian Sackett is full of crap. Michigan has had two days of 65 plus degrees in March. Right now it's 35 degrees and it will barely be in the 40s tomorrow, with lows of 21.

Welcome to the new age of farming. It's different than when you were a kid and your family had a 30 x 40 shed with maybe a ton of potatos in it. To compete with the big farms and not have a bunch of rotten potatos from freezing, you need to control the temp in your storehouse. Which means you need to spend the money to install that system. Which means you most likely got a grant for your thermal system, including a grant from the electric company to put it in, and a major tax write off.

I'm pro farmer, but good lord they whine and moan about everything and the biggest complaint is the weather. It's too hot, too cold, too windy, too dry , too muddy, too humid. It is never adequate or tolerable. This one thinks Michigan never has fresh cool air. Well, dummy, step outside right now in a t-shirt and you'll have your fill of fresh cool air.

91 Thanks for the link to Dasia Taylor, the Iowa teen who invented the sutures that change color to indicate infection. She did some terrific research: She investigated a variety of organic dyes, and found that beet juice is the perfect dye for the sutures, since it changes color at the right pH to suggest infection.

However, I was bummed to see that she wants to become a lawyer. A *lawyer*! What a bloody waste of a good mind.

110 “Both for practical reasons and for mathematically verifiable moral reasons, authority and responsibility must be equal - else a balancing takes place as surely as current flows between points of unequal potential. To permit irresponsible authority is to sow disaster; to hold a man responsible for anything he does not control is to behave with blind idiocy. The unlimited democracies were unstable because their citizens were not responsible for the fashion in which they exerted their sovereign authority... other than through the tragic logic of history... No attempt was made to determine whether a voter was socially responsible to the extent of his literally unlimited authority. If he voted the impossible, the disastrous possible happened instead - and responsibility was then forced on him willy-nilly and destroyed both him and his foundationless temple.”

115 Some people have their entire lives wrapped up in their work - some people don't. My dad was a pharmacist, and he was happy to retire. After a year or so my mom got sick of him hanging around the house during the day, and suggested that maybe he should go back to work some. He told her "you know if we really need money that bad, I think I'd rather go pick up aluminum cans on the side of the road."

He did develop some hobbies he enjoyed a great deal and which made Mom quite happy as well.

There was a short film (17 minutes, according to IMDB) made in 2017 called Bangarang. Basically it's supposed to be Rufio's origin story. For a kickstarter funded movie, it wasn't too bad.

My favorite rendition of Peter Pan was Peter Pan and The Pirates. It has one of my favorite opening theme songs, and Tim Curry as Hook.

I remember another version of Peter Pan from when I was young. It looked more or less like a recorded play. It had a song about Captain Hook that I still remember to this day, despite the fact that I can no longer find the show.

138 I have a "world is getting stupid" story.

A fellow bought a property down the block from us. It had several dilapidated structures on it. He bought it for the lot. He wants to build his house on it.

There is a squatter in one of those structures. "Squatter" as in she does not pay any rent. The structure she lives in needs to be torn down so the owner can build his house. He has served her an eviction notice.

The squatter took the owner to court to stay in the structure (manufactured home, I believe). The judge ruled that the owner can't evict her because she has nowhere else to live. She does not have to pay rent and the owner is required to pay for her utilities. He cannot have them turned off. Meanwhile, she has invited another squatter onto the property who is vandalizing the Bobcat used to clear debris on the property.

I wish there was something I could do to help. So far, I just shared with him the story of a landlord friend of ours with a non-paying tenant who removed the front door "for repairs." It worked for our landlord friend.

He should. The lawyer will be able to explain what is going on, legally here. Tenant rights may have attached if the person has been there long enough or had permission from the old homeowner or something, in which case he has to follow the states eviction laws. Which shouldn't be that hard, but, depending on the state, take some time.

Worse case scenario is if there's some kind of adverse possession situation going on, but that seems unlikely based on what you said.

But again, I'd recommend that your buddy find a lawyer who handles landlord / tenant law in CO, and have him tell the lawyer everything that has happened, and the lawyer will know where to go from there.

Every vaccine created is fraudulent. All experimental. No research, no history , nothing.

it's amazing. So many people bitch and moan about how the FDA won't approve this drug or that drug for years while people are dying. Then Trump comes along with the opportunity to move the foot dragging regulatory apparatus into the current century and suddenly, the public is horrified and demanding that the vaccines take a decade to develop or they couldn't possible be safe or effective. No matter what the evidence shows.

I've heard rumors of people planting weed plants in the curtilage in plain view of the front walk, then anonymously reporting to the cops that the person was dealing drugs, and that there were neglected children in the house. Cops show up, see the "manufacturing of marijuana plants" in plain view, and whatever other crimes the person was committing (now that they have probable cause to arrest the person.)

Not that I would recommend any of that, but if someone's in jail, that does tend to solve a lot of those kinds of problems.

Tip for would-be property purchasers - if you don't want a tenant to stay, demand that the current owner get rid of them BEFORE you ever close on the deal. If it's a piece of property that's semi-abandoned with no active owner you can find, stay far far away from it, no matter how good a deal it looks like. This is why some apparently interesting properties sit year after year and rot with nobody daring to touch them. it's easy to buy your way into a whole lot of trouble.

Posted by: Emmie, chopped gizzard at March 31, 2021 10:16 PM (ofYez)

Doesn't really matter what's in the contract. Well, he could always try to undo the sale, but if he wants to keep the place...
Basically, if I own an apartment building, and sell it to you, you take possession with whatever leases currently exist (whether oral, written, or by law (squatter, in this case)).
Same is likely true in the situation you described.
Now WORST CASE scenario, the old owner of the property did not know the person was living there, and had not given permission, and depending on your state laws about adverse possession, they might actually own title to that land, not the old owner, in which case the sale to your new neighbor is probably void (it's a whole thing, you really don't want to get in to this scenario). Don't even mention this scenario to your friend, since it's not likely, and you don't want to freak him out. But it's important for him to hire a lawyer ASAP to figure out their options.

260 Tip for would-be property purchasers - if you don't want a tenant to stay, demand that the current owner get rid of them BEFORE you ever close on the deal. If it's a piece of property that's semi-abandoned with no active owner you can find, stay far far away from it, no matter how good a deal it looks like. This is why some apparently interesting properties sit year after year and rot with nobody daring to touch them. it's easy to buy your way into a whole lot of trouble.
Posted by: Tom Servo at March 31, 2021 10:19 PM (bxPTJ)

Definitely true. Ran in to it with a client who owned a place in FL. She inherited the property, but there was some previous fuck up in the transfer of title from when the previous owner had bought it (half the description of the property was missing), plus the neighbor had a pretty solid adverse possession claim on a big chunk of the property ... total mess.

Luckily, not my problem, I just referred her to a FL real estate attorney. As far as I know, it's still unresolved and it's been over a year.

Posted by: Commissar Hrothgar -Your Rulers Have, and Deserve, Different Rules! - at March 31, 2021 10:17 PM (hOUT3)

I believe we have had MD's on here who have tried to explain how the mRna vaccines work. They do not edit genes. They actually are a simpler vaccine than traditional vaccines , in that a cell doesn't need to convert the DNA of a vaccine into RNA first.
The medical community has been working on mRNA vaccines for 30 plus years. It's not a new concept. It's not untested.
If you want to become educated on the mRNA vaccine, this link takes you to an article by Harvard Medical that explains the history and current vaccine use of mRNA technology. Again, I am not trying to coerce anyone into getting vaccinated. But the amount of bullshit that gets posted here about the vaccines, and especially from this particular troll upthread is infuriating.

I've lived in plenty of places that are well known for tornados. Never had one hit me but if there are tornados in the area you will probably get hail damage. It's the damage from hail that mostly caused me problems.

The biggest one I saw was the one that went east of Wichita through Andover in '91. Looked like a giant grey wall. And I wouldn't have known it was a tornado if it weren't for the spotters and the news. When you looked real close you could see movement in the wall, tiny grey and white streams running parallel to the ground, looked like hairpin vortices. I think I heard it too but the sirens were loud and I'm not sure.

Here's something from the weather channel about the most common places for tornados:

Which is odd, cause the govt is calling for continued masks and distancing anyway so the shot won't let them do that. Wonder how that will play with most people. Granted I know someone who I suspect wants to never leave her house until Covid 19 is like Polio, so she's a lost cause.

So that's useful information.

Mormon bishop (I think he's a bishop, anyways) two houses over got a Covid vaccine. So apparently some pharmaceuticals are OK.

438 Kurt Schlichter linked to an article comparing the woke-cancelism to how the East German state operated starting in the 70s--they wanted international recognition so torture was replaced by day-to-day mindf__ing with dissidents, to wear them down and bring them into line. They'd let air out of bicycle tires, spread rumors, do little things to inconvenience people, with of course a substantial population of spies and informants.

I remember the technology of the Fax machine was held up as one of the instruments used to spread truth in totalitarian states prior to the fall of the Soviet blocs. It's ironic that technology is now being used to reinforce the apparatus of the state.

Yeah, there is no reward for getting vaccinated.

The other thing is that as of right now, we are nearing 20 pct of the US being fully vaccinated, those vaccinated are universally adults, which would mean roughly 50 pct or more of the country is either vaccinated and or in a cohort that has had the virus and recovered or in an age group that is largely immune, ie young adults and children.

Or alternatively..

This is all fucking bullshit.

I remember when my governor declared a shelter at home order. It made driving to stores and shopping better from much fewer people. And I went to the office till the big boss all but exiled me "for my own health" and discovered I can get a good deal of work done remotely and now have plans to go back to the office maybe once a week, so I don't have to deal with the office Covid crap or my other co-workers that I largely now have no respect for.

Dad traveled a lot in the 60's and 70's. We lived in SoCal. When mom would drive on the freeway somewhere (family car was a bench seat 55 chev") she would bring the wooden spoon. If we acted up, she would just put her right hand behind the seat and start swinging that spoon.

I had a younger brother and sister, and we all remember when things got too raucous (about 30 minutes into a 2 week vacation, usually) she would just reach back and try to slap all 3 of us at the same time. My brother is still kinda pissed that I got to where I could see it coming, so I would put my hand on back of his head and push his face up front and center when it came.

532 Navy, I think you might have misunderstood.

I think you said you took the vax, because you believe what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

And I think C5 said "Have fun with gay sex" not implying that your a queer, but rather that if gay sex doesn't kill you, you must make you stronger.

And so he wasn't really calling you a queer, just kinda poking fun at the idea that rationalizing doing something because it doesn't kill you isn't exactly always the best justification for doing it.

I have spent a lot of time posting over the decades about the absolute worst case scenarios possible, that there are limits to how far reasonable citizens can be expected to endure and how the United States government is not immortal and will have a span.

Never intended ANY of that as "I want this!"

I want as many Americans as humanly possible to be as prosperous as their labor and professional skills allow, I want all us treated the same by the powers that be, and I want a tomorrow where when we all look at one another we see what we do for each other and how we treat each other not how we look.

If you are using it "to back up more safely" then recordability is a bonus not a primary.

I'd go for pixel desnity and a screen you like, if your vehicle already has a bluetooth capable screen you may be able to get away with just the camera and not a monitor.

I may well lose my job over this mess, no branch of the service can define what extremism is but by omission I know it is not Antifa (so SOME antigovernment is ok it seems) and I know it is not BLM (so oddly some racial supremacy is a okay)

Honestly I am not even sure if I walked in tomorrow and they said, "Sven it is over thanks for your hard work goodbye" I would not feel relief.

I am probably going to get my chauffer's license as a first step to my CDL and learn some wrecking with my best friend down here. I promised the wife her retirement phase is HER reward and I am there to make sure she enjoys it. Tow truck driving would be a pretty nifty portable skill to have and if I am really able to gear jam for hours on end without pain I think I may want to get my CDL.

Cactus came through the winter with some growth. Wondering if I should break off and transplant the buds.

Planted a section of heat tolerant (i hope) milk weed and lavender between us and the eastern house neighbor. She loves lavender. Dug in mucho mulch. The ground was baked. Been empty ever since we moved in. Late planting, so I hope they survive.

Had some gaillardia and salvia overwinter so fingers crossed, the rootball can handle the summer.

If history is any guide their antics mean our society is about to implode.

Gender confusion and dysmorphia was a leading indicator in Egypt, Han China, Rome, and North America.

American civilization is sick and is dedicated to things that are nonsensical and actively counter productive to its competitiveness on a primal human survival scale.

I asked my cousin the retired meteorologist about the "last cold snap at Easter" thing that seems to hold, no matter if it's early or late Easter. The definition of Easter is purely astronomical, and unless the first Sunday after the first full moon following the Spring equinox could somehow correlate with weather, it wouldn't make sense.

He confirmed that's been a common belief around here going way back and that's not just us locally, but the whole Southeast, provided you don't get too far down into Florida.

This is the deal. The SE weather patterns usually put the normal "last really cold snap" in the first ten days or so of April.

Now, the distribution of Easter dates is such that a good majority of them lie in the same range. And that is the source of the perceived connection. Any outliers with cold snaps around a late Easter are coincidental and serve to reinforce that belief.

We don't notice a warm late Easter.

Walked out just a little bit ago, and some small ghostly critter startles and runs away from the water dish. Probably a possum, but to me just a white flash, scurrying off. I exercised my Male Privilege and then ~~ran~~ sauntered back inside.

...and that is how you end up with chicks like AOC.

Just at Midnight, we pulled up to the business property we'd purchased, before heading to our hotel. As I unlocked the door, immediately, local constables drove up, to see what was up. Good cops. I was so excited to realize we had re-entered America, after a decade and a half.

Eh, I'm not the official arbiter but she's not even close to my type. In so many ways, up to and including the crazy eyes.

It's pretty easy to be cute if you're female, 20, smiling, dancing and not fugly.

I would say, document that shit as much as you can for a future book. Don’t know how much of a career a journalistic conversion story is, but I’d guess a few people would read it. If you’ve been in journalism for two decades or more, you might have a few interesting stories to tell.

731 ..There was a new Mr. Ballen story about a woman who got trapped in a giant autoclave and got steamed alive. I didn't know they made them that big.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner's fuselage and wings go through a vacuum-bagged baking process in the giant autoclave at the manufacturing plant. Separately, of course. It is a composite fuselage with (mostly) composite wings, and the autoclave process "sets" the various resins and epoxies.

Fuselage for the 787-10is 224 ft. long. Fuselage height is 19'6". So the autoclave chamber has to be a bit longer, and a bit wider. BIG autoclave, there.

I despise these lowlives. It's nothing more than brainwashing. After all, there is no scientific report that proves this, only unconnected data points that never provide a conclusion.

Weimar was big on the gender bending, androgynous shit too, it was German doctors back then who did the first "work" on Franken-genitalia. Also general degeneracy and debauchery, economic collapse and finally hyperinflation.

Doc told me he was not allowed to prescribe oxycodone for ear infection pain (it was REALLY bad) but he could prescribe Tramadol. So I tried one of my husband's when I got home. It may have helped a little by distracting me with wooziness and throwing up.

After that lovely episode, I went back to some old oxycodone. Two pills total saw me through (one each night for two nights) and then the infection subsided enough that I didn't need it to sleep anymore.

Some "borrowed" their friends. But why the fuck did a dentist need to give a 16 year old 30 OxyContin's for a wisdom teeth extraction?!)

Not so much the actual work or even the coworkers, but the general annoying petty, greedy, irrational, selfimportant behavior of managers. I have been employed for better than 40 years and I have had about two or three managers that weren't giant turds. Seems like the goal of most managers is to make it very clear THEY are the manager and YOU are a peon, and I have never had any interest in the brownnosing required to get in the manager club. I never get bored under my own power, and if I did there are plenty of opportunities to do good things out there that just don't happen to pay anything.

I have asked multiple doctors and pharmacologists how exactly opiates attaching to opiate receptors has any positive influence on pain, and have yet to get a good answer. A MD I used to date was like "yeah, I'm kind of sold. I don't think they work at all, but they spent a lot of time talking about amazing and non-addictive they were when we were in medical school"

Well, and it's hard to prove illegality here. Think about it: they were trained in medical school to prescribe these drugs. There's been a bit push in the medical establishment that pain is subjective, and insurance and medicare / medicaid rank hospitals based on surveys of patients, one item of which is how much pain they left the hospital in.

So I mean.. the doctors have a pretty good defense. "Person came in with back problems, nothing showed up in MRI or XRay, but they were clearly in excruciating pain, so over time we adjusted the medication until they could function."

My motorcycle wrecks, broken bones, road rashes and surgeries beg to differ. Opiates do what is claimed. Block the pain receptors for MOST people. I'm one of the most. And I'm one of the few that can RELIABLY ramp down the Vicodin intake in keeping with reduced pain input as things heal.

When the pain is done with me, I'm (nearly) done with the pills. But I do appreciate keeping a small stock of (20ish?) on hand. As it happens, a Texas Blue Norther can bring back the pain where the screws were installed, just as when they were new. Here's my bargain. I won't go through more than ONE bottle of 20 per YEAR, and the .gov won't interfere with my ability to obtain such, easily.

And if it helps you, I don't begrudge you for taking them.

But the medical establishment believes / believed, despite hundreds of years of evidence to the contrary, that all of a sudden opiates weren't incredibly addictive, an one of the hardest addictions to break for a very large percentage of the population. And so they decided to hand them out like candy to anyone who claimed to be in any kind of pain.

You may be one of the lucky ones who won't get addicted, I don't know. But in the 1700 / 1800's, opium smoking became a real problem in England and much of the west (less so in the US), and addiction was rampant. Then the "Opium Wars" in China was a big problem when something like 3/4 of Chinese men got addicted to smoking opium. So it was phased out, with much societal upheaval, in most of the world.

Then came morphine, which was supposed to be less addictive. Same problems. Then came heroin, the miracle drug invented by Pfizer (IIRC). Same problems. Then we went a few generations with almost no opiates (just morphine during surgery), because it was seen as so addictive. Then in the '90s, we concentrate opium even more and put it in a pill, and ... here are.

Yeah, in New England, at least, about 90% of the active ingredients in the "heroin" on the streets was fentanyl, about 5% carfentanil (an opiate used on elephants during surgeries), and about 5% was heroin. And of course, all kinds of fun gross fillers mixed in by various dealers "stepping on it" as it moves down the chain.

We arrested one dealer with 6 bags, and the level of opiates in each bag was so wildly different that a user could shoot half a bag of one, with barely any results, and shoot 1/8 of a bag of another and would have likely died. Which is ... horrifying.

Posted by: Teresa in Fort Worth, Texas - Sexy Texas Neanderthal at April 01, 2021 01:28 AM (SRRAx)

906 >> why it would have much abuse potential.

The effects of drugs vary wildly with the population. But in general, statistically, a given drug will do X, Y, and Z in sort of bell curve fashion, with side effects A, B, C and so forth. There are outliers.

The reason opioids have such addiction potential is because they hit the "euphoria" receptors in the brain. They make most people feel really, really good. But, like about anything, one builds up tolerance to that. It takes more and more of the drug to get the same effect.

Now opioids have other effects slow down the gut and *depress respiration* among many others. You tolerance to the euphoria increase faster than your tolerance to the latter.

So at some point, and addict will tend to OD. Another mode of ODing is they go for a while without the drug, go crazy in withdrawal, and then score some more. They assume they can still take the same high dose, which is no lethal because they've lost much of their tolerance.

But basically came in to NJ, went to NYC, was then distributed out to New England and throughout the greater NY area, and eventually made its way west.

Jailing pushers just removes competition for those that escape capture, and gives them an excuse to jack up prices, so that addicts are more likely to victimize us in crimes to support their habit.

The reason fentanyl is so deadly is because of its extreme potency. It's about 100x more potent that morphine. The normal dose levels for fentanyl are measured in 100s of ug, while that for the others is in the mg to 10s of mg range.

2 -3 mg of the stuff would be a lethal dose for most people (without tolerance). Oxycodone lethal dose is in the range 40 - 80 mg. Someone with crazy high tolerance could stand a single dose in that range.

930 Ah yes, that method of centering clay does look rather compromising. I didn't notice until I talked my mom into joining my pottery class and she pointed it out.

While nsfw looking, it is a heck of a lot easier than just slapping a lump of clay on the wheel and trying to center it without pulling up and pushing down, which is how I learned to center in my first class. I wonder if that instructor knew people would make the visual connection and throw a fit/be crude about it.

Yes, they do. I am not a fan of hanging for a first offense, though. Too many opportunities for crooked cops and/or prosecutors.

I figure, four strikes. One year in jail; two years; four years; and then the bullet. And if a user goes a long time, say ten years, after any jail term, with no new charges, then rest the strike count to zero.

932 Look up the twitter page for the SFPD tenderloin station. They photo all the drugs they catch. Lots of black bindles (heroin) and white ones (meth mostly, though i spose some coke too). It's openly sold a block from the federal court building and 3 blocks from the PD station.

936 Also, buprenorphine (suboxone), a methadone alternative (and a kitteh painkiller) is sold on the street to addicts who simply don't want to be using; they just want relief. Subox is no panacea but it's certainly better than using. Subox doesn't actually have any "fun" but it's harder to kick than funopiates because it binds to opiate receptors better - it makes using pointless.

938 In college ('86), i had all 4 wisdumb teeth removed. I got darvocet. I traded it for beer it was so useless (though i was not in pain). Opiates have given me relief twice: 1) when i found out the hives way i'm allergic to obnoxiouscilin (strep throat); and 2) slight fever after my hernia repair. That pain sucked but not being able to sleep was worse. 5mg somethingodone helped. Didn't finish it as constipation sucks after groin hernia surgery.

939 Hmmm, the instant glue finally set. I can't readily peel it off, but it has immobilized the cactus spine so I don't get a twinge every time I touch the affected spot on my hand. So, kudos to garrett for an effective remedy.

975 I know a lot of y'all have signed off, but I just wanted to say thank you for all the encouragement. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

If I do get canned, I will be okay, financial-wise, in the short/medium term. I have no debts and own everything in my life. Nobody would confuse me with a rich person, but I have enough money socked away to weather some rough patches.

I just can't quite digest the unreality of it all. I might lose my livelihood for something that wasn't a big deal ten years ago. Twenty years ago, it wasn't even on most people's radar screens. Go back further, and, well...I cannot begin to imagine how I'd explain my current predicament to either of my grandfathers, who both lived through the Great Depression. When I was a kid I heard horror stories about the way things were in the Soviet Union. Now I feel like I'm living in a McDonald's Happy Meal version of it.

I don't know, man. I'm almost 46; no kids; an ailing wife; maybe about to be unemployed for a silly offense that didn't exist for most of my life. It just feels like a big cosmic joke. Anger and bitterness seem wasted on such absurdities.

I believe some people can't eat a ton of processed foods and an absurd amount of carbs. There are so many other thing going on, that it is weak sauce to give people generic diet advice. The carb thing is real, there is no doubt there. But the idea that if you eat carbs you will get fat makes no sense. Asia might want to have a say about this.

1020 my understanding is if anyone gives up carbs, they will lose ten pounds or so of water weight for whatever reason. And for sure it is better to eat whole foods, and not processed crap. But the idea of giving up carbs writ large makes no sense to me. The people that came before were much more fit, and they never even dreamed of such an idea. My guess is the real problem lies elsewhere, and we have not found it yet.

Don't mistake my point, I think the low carb thing works. But is that something people can do for life? My diet is to try to eat shit as less as possible. I will still eat beans, fruit, etc. I balloon when I eat a large pizza and some crappy wings. I still don't know the science, but it is for real.

Posted by: Quint at April 01, 2021 05:07 AM (Ebl4S)

1021 I have lost about 40 pounds from my all time high of recent years. There has been some intermittent fasting, some lower carb meals etc. But really it is not eating so much. If I went super low carb for a few days, then I would want them. That is really no way to live. For me, the real result was just being mindful about what you eat, and eating various foods, not just crap all the time.

nothing against CCR, we all go our own way. I will vouch for the red wine, because I prefer it. At least back in the day, many proffered the Mediteranean diet. But the science was not about the entire region, but really about the Island of Crete. They had wine at every meal, at olive oil all the time. But they also used meats as a garnish, and ate two to three times as many vegetables as the average American. There was also the sedate way of life. You can't replicate that in a diet plan.

I know the low carb thing works, as well as intermittent fasting. What I wonder about is if we have this whole thing figured out. There are people that eat a crap load more carbs than we do and are still slim and live to an old age. There is more of the science to be figured out.

1026 when I eat real garbage, my weight can balloon five pounds or more. I have seen that over and over, so for sure I realize there is something off with processed crap.

I doubt I will ever do Keto and become an acolyte. I doubt I will ever test to see if I am in ketosis. I don't doubt that is works, but I wonder if that is something someone can do for life. There are many videos about getting off ketosis. If it is a normal thing, why would someone want to get off it?

1046 the Left won when they took over teacher's unions and school boards. I am a bit surprised when others are surprised.

I think it has more to do with seeing the world only through your own culturally adapted eyes, and a morally flexible value system.

The simple "I would/wouldn't do _____ so no one else does ____" or replace "no one else" with "no one I know".

So if you are not a person that would indoctrinate children to hate their country, family, God and self, then its near impossible to think that someone who is at ease with that sentiment would be that close to you.

Another factor I commonly see is one of sinking to the lowest level that your environment allows. Government only holds other people accountable, not themselves - the wheels come off when the accountability disappears.

There are effective ways to encourage a good society. But out leaders have turned them mostly to off.

No intact marriages with fathers, plenty of empty people without churches and Christianity in their lives, and a lack of self-governed citizens. Barbarians from CentralAmerica and the Middle East are fleeing very violent societies to come here, and are not assemilating.

The reality is their followers are even more radical than than are. They are all leftists, but their angry followers are in charge. Most of the Leftist leaders simply want to be in charge.

I have said this many times, and I am going to say it again. Most kids need to sue their teachers and look side eyed at their parents. This type of dystopian reality can't just happen out of thin air. And it was not only the liberals. Someone had to ignore it to make this our reality.

1066 Interesting story about the kid developing the sutures that change color. Another AA was half responsible for sterile sutures. During the civil war, a Southern surgeon was out of surgical silk. As was the custom, he had brought one of his household slaves with him. The slave mentioned his mother had used horse hair from the tail as thread. The surgeon noted it wasn't flexible, and the slave said his mother boiled it. It worked as sutures, and the surgeon noticed a huge drop in post amputation infection. He then put two and two together. Sterile silk was the way to go.

Before "Woke" the strange kid would get ad hoc kinetic correction on the playground to return to community standards of conduct and outlook. Many years later they might come "out of the closet" when the fear of receiving a beat-down for deviance was gone.

We know this works, because the perverts are delivering the beat-downs now for not accepting their deviance and depravity.

Years ago the Enemedia was scolding the Miami area Asian restaurant owner and staffers for failing to provide adequate service to "blacks" because that demographic is stereotyped as being poor tippers and demanding customers.

Most of the K-8 teachers around here are women.

And the women that my wife know that are still teaching do NOT like men teachers and will bitch about everything they do.
Same with my SIL that works at a hospital as a NA. A man is hired for the position and the women will go out of their way to get him out of there.

1104 This entire hating Asians thing seems like the biggest hoax in ages. You are telling me that white guys are going after Asians because of the Wuflu? The shocking part is people believe this shit. And if some guy does attack an Asian American, then they are jagoffs and deserve any punishment they earned.

But I am having a serious issue with believing this. Maybe it is so, but at this point the media made a point of making themselves untrustworthy. I will take it as a flat out lie, or an example of left wing hate until i see some actual proof. Like I said, if someone on the so called right attacks an Asian American because of this pandemic, then they are jagoffs and deserve to be incarcerated like any other random thug.

I unfortunately have to participate in numerous interviews to bring on new candidates. I have been in the industry for decades and have sat on both sides of the table. We are willing to offer serious green to the right candidate.

One thing I am noticing these days is that even the candidates don't exhibit a desire for the job. There is this faint correlation between work and reward, but for many, the work part of the relationship has faded completely away with the expectation that there is always a safety net and thus never a time of hunger and real need.

I think the word is "Entitlement".

1117 This is interesting because it shows they are not just lazy, entitled bitches (the guys and gals) but also malicious little bitches.

Someone commented earlier that the claim that they are giving "personal instruction" to illegal aliens is overstated that some Woke sponsor delivers a van full of a lattes and other coffee in exchange for teachers virtue signaling their love over an "oppressed community". They work an hour, then spend the next three talking about what heroes and nobles they are.

I think it is the latent racism and their need to pretend that they are superior to another group that feeds their contempt for their paying clients and faux compassion for those obviously not in the same economic / social level.

But I also agree the armed forces are attracting a great, great many grifters these days.

"Patriotism" is a trigger word to them. They actually hate what true Patriotism represents because it doesn't demand blind loyalty and fealty to The Party.

Their own members either hate the word or have no idea what it means, so clearly when the usurper included the word in his crass attempt of manipulation, it was directed at people who are far more honorable and respectable than the illegitimate junta that has conquered and destroyed that to which Patriotism would have honored.

He was making demands on a people who no longer have a country.

1130 Our daily bread

Give to us each day our daily bread (Luke 11:3)

Dear God, what is this bread? It is not only the physical sustenance that in your providence you give us for the necessities of life, but it as also the nourishment of truth that you give daily to our souls. That kind of bread nourishes us to eternal life. It makes our souls grow and become robust when our faith is tested. Every day, you renew this bread. Both inwardly and outwardly, you give our souls precisely what we need to to continue in our life of faith and self denial. All I have to do is eat this bread, and in a spirit of sacrifice receive all the things that come my way-both in inward matters and in the depths of my heart.

Indeed, what happens to me in the course of each day is my daily bread-provided I do not refuse to take it from your hand and feed on it.

I am bemused as to why his sign is still up. I live in Maskachusetts and would have expected it to have been trashed by his tolerant neighbors months ago.

Perhaps the fact that he is a yuge, scary man works in his favor.

1145 this should probably go in the food thread. But my favorite food of the modern era, my favorite food that is new to me (and that is not an easy thing to do) is the Samyang Buldak noodle.

I know it is hot as hell, but some of that has been overstated. I got a full package of the Buldak "light" variation and it is supposes to be be 40 percent less hot. I don't doubt this is true, but many Koreans say it tastes the same. Either way, I tried the full strength stuff and it was flat out good. On the net, they make it out to be the worst thing ever. I question that. I am not hot sauce king, but these are good noodles. Now one pro tip, it helps to add in some butter, cream, and American cheese. And before that sounds weird and not Asian, the Koreans love all those things and put them on everything. They also put in Mozzarella cheese. There is something about Koreans and cheese.

Also, probably the most popular version of Yamang Buldak is their carbonara version. The Koreans can be weird, but why not like an Italian take on Ramen or Ramyun.
