Are You Ready For Some ONT?

Opening night of the NFL season tonight. Lions vs Chiefs. I like the Lions, mainly because I feel sorry for their fans. Not only do they have to live in Detroit, but they have the Lions to cheer for. That's insult to injury. If they're not playing the Ravens, I'll cheer for them. Why don't you grab a drink from the Coke machine...no, I said Coke...NOT THE PEPSI MACHINE!


Vending.jfif

Damn. I want a Pepsi machine like that.

So, if Obama is gay, do you care? I don't. I couldn't dislike him more, and it wouldn't make me like him more. But tonight's question is this: Do you think the former Commander in Thief was pitching, or catching?

Gee, Who Would Have Thought?


Chaos, Comedy, and ‘Crying Rooms’: Inside Jimmy Fallon’s ‘Tonight Show’


According to two current and 14 former employees, The Tonight Show has been a toxic workplace for years — far outside the boundaries of what’s considered normal in the high-pressure world of late-night TV. They say the ugly environment behind the scenes starts at the top with Fallon’s erratic behavior, and has trickled down to its ever-changing leadership teams — nine showrunners in the past nine years — who seemingly don’t know how to say no to Jimmy. Former employees describe The Tonight Show as a tense and “pretty glum atmosphere,” with some alleging they were belittled and intimidated by their bosses, including Fallon himself. Employees describe being afraid of Fallon’s “outbursts” and unexpected, inconsistent behavior. Many of these staffers voiced their concerns through HR complaints, but problems at The Tonight Show persisted. 

Seven former employees say their mental health was impacted by their alleged experiences working at The Tonight Show. These staffers say it was commonplace to hear people joking about “wanting to kill themselves,” and that they would refer to guests’ dressing rooms in the office as “crying rooms” because that’s where they would go to let out their emotions when they were upset with their alleged mistreatment. 

So Fallon is a drunken asshole. Or not, who knows, it's Rolling Stone. What comes across is how whiny the staff is. OK, so, your boss is an asshole. Either suck it up or get another job. I don't see any allegations that he physically attacked anyone or sexually abused anyone. Why do people find it so hard to decide “No, I won't be treated like this” and move on? Or they could listen to Jordan Peterson:

(Joke, BTW)

BTW, the clip embedded in the article with Ariana Grande impersonating Celine Dion singing the Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face.” is a stitch.


I Thought This Was America

Norfolk police pull over man with bull riding shotgun


“The officers received a call referencing a car driving into town that had a cow in it,”  said Police Captain Chad Reiman. “They thought that it was going to be a calf, something small or something that would actually fit inside the vehicle.”

And the vehicle was big enough… Well, technically. 

“As a result, the officers performed a traffic stop and addressed some traffic violations that were occurring with that particular situation,” Reiman said.

The occupant of the vehicle was identified as Lee Meyer of Neligh. The Watusi bull’s name was Howdy Doody. Lee was immediately pulled over by Norfolk Police as they performed a routine traffic stop. 

“The officer wrote him some warnings,” Reiman said. “There were some citable issues with that situation. The officer chose to write him a warning and ask him to take the animal back home and leave the city.”

I wonder what those issues were? In any event, that's a big bull. Charlie, the Charolais bull who sires all the sides of beef we buy to fill the freezer, is bigger. It's an experience standing next to him. He'll want nose scritches. I suggest you give them to him.

I Thought This Was America, Part II

Florida man arrested after trying to cross Atlantic in hamster wheel vessel

A Florida man was arrested after trying to "run to London" across the Atlantic Ocean in a homemade vessel resembling a hamster wheel.
The US Coast Guard intercepted Reza Baluchi about 70 miles (110km) off Tybee Island, Georgia on 26 August.
Officials said the 44-year-old marathon runner refused to leave the vessel for three days.
Mr Baluchi has tried three similar voyages before, all of which ended in Coast Guard intervention.
The makeshift contraption he was using is shaped as a wheel, with paddles that are designed to propel it forward as the wheel revolves.
"Based on the condition of the vessel - which was afloat as a result of wiring and buoys - [US Coast Guard] officers determined Baluchi was conducting a manifestly unsafe voyage," the criminal complaint says.

The “vessel” looks like a Panjandrum without rockets. Point 1: He's an idiot. Point 2: He was 70 miles offshore when they pulled him over. Question: Why is this the Coast Guard's business? He's outside the territorial waters of the United States. He'll die, but that's his business, isn't it? This world would be a better, if slightly less amusing, place if we stopped rescuing idiots from themselves.


Stuck In The Mud

The delicious schadenfreude of Burning Man

In case you don't know what Burning Man is, every year tens of thousands of liberal douchbags with lots of money and no sense travel to the middle of the Nevada desert for a giant drug fueled orgy. There's music and some artsy shit, and the always build a giant pagan temple. Lighting the temple on fire is the highlight of the final day. Well, this year it rained, and 75K snowflakes started screaming for help on social media. See that part above about not saving idiots from themselves? Yeah, that includes mud. My wife's niece's been going for like 15 years. She's convinced that niece doesn't participate in the debauchery, she's there for the music and art. Maybe. And she's a good person, even if she is a Lib. She goes with her husband. But to me it smacks of someone who keeps going to orgies because "The Hors d'oeuvres are delicious". Sure

Oh No! Texas!

I moved my family from California to Austin, Texas, and regretted it. Here are 10 things to consider before making an expensive mistake.


Exhibit A was the dad (also at a kids' flag football league) wearing the "Don't move to Austin" T-shirt, a play on "Don't mess with Texas." Let me get this straight: I uprooted my family, moved across four states, and that's the welcome I get? And the worst part of it all is that it's not even funny. There's a bumper sticker in the West: "Montana sucks. Tell your friends!" Same message, but with some humor.

First of all, he didn't move to Texas, he moved to Austin. I have a plan for Austin. I want to build a ten foot wall all around it – and fill it with water. A Texas sized swimming pool! Thankfully, he went back to California. Good riddance.

Well, the main problem is Fallon is a known raging alcoholic.

I thought he was sweet and charming in some of his earlier films, especially Fever Pitch but over the years he's proven himself to be one of the worst talk show hosts imaginable and apparently a gigantic a**hole to boot.

I actually got a compliment for some work I did. I do contract work through an firm searching patents for their clients. I got a truly horrible request, in multiple parts and a very indefinite parameters. I sweated blood, pounded my fists on the table, procrastinated mightily and finally excreted a report.

Today I got an e-mail from the firm's project manager handling the request. The feedback from the client called it "first-class work" and in consequence they'd be sending more requests. Made my day, my week, and my month.

33 So, if Obama is gay, do you care?

Only in the sense that we retroactively get "the first gay president," so the alphabet mafia can't bring that up when they run Bootyjudge in 2032.

For similar reasons, it would be great if the current occupant had to go before his term was up, and we'd get "first woman president" and "first woman-of-color president" as a twofer. Hopefully only for a day or two.

Seems like a story that's tailor made for local television news: top tier state Democrat party leader carjacked at home in driveway with her children, multiple attackers with guns, neighbors held at gunpoint when they tried to intervene, bloody selfie, dramatic Facebook post saying they were almost 'murdered', etc.

Same week that the Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines Commission changed carjacking recommendations after prolonged public backlash.

Yet! Barely a peep from local media roughly 24 hours later? Nothing on early evening broadcasts? Maybe they'll say something at 10pm, but if not, then who knows what's going on.

I care. Stanley Kurtz of National Review was reporting on this over a decade ago. The media ignored and suppressed anything that would blemish their guy, like the fact that he's a homosexual.

It has also been reported that Obama's preferred kink was getting blown by middle-aged white men.

It is relevant to his character, or lack thereof. That's the reason he and his team wanted to hide it.

I was doing lots of that today. Fix four flat tires on an old Studebaker chassis that does nothing but hold an engine up off the ground. Aired one rear tire up, took the other off, found a hole in the inner tube, was patching it, when I heard an Earth-shattering Kaboom. The tire I had just aired up blew a big hole in its side wall. The tube was wrecked, too. As of an hour ago, all four tires still holding air.

81 Obama, not gay, gay, don't care. He's a criminal traitor like his politburo and the current puppet in chief. Damage they've done is hard to put in words.

Can't scroll through the Hayward tweets (X won't let me) but I get the gist. I've been reading about that today at various places. It's a Brave New World out on the Left Coast.

87 >>But tonight's question is this: Do you think the former Commander in Thief was pitching, or catching?


Here is my anal-ysis:

I did not trust Sinclair when he said that he called the campaign to chastise them on the drug issue, and that he never brought up the sex. I suspect he was grifting and looking for a payoff. Letting them know he knew some things. Not claiming the sex since it would be unlikely the candidate had even made that public to his closest advisers. This is the only way I can resolve that odd behavior of calling to complain about their drug position.

This leads me to think Sinclair is being very careful, especially after the guy from the church was killed. He wants to let our some of the story for credibility, but not too much, and not all at once.

The other thing is, now I have no idea how gay sex works (what the f--- are those harnesses for?) but it seems no politician would prefer what they describe over just picking up a woman or pro. Not unless he was receiving.

When I send a search report off, I both don't want to think about it any more and live in fear of the client saying it's the worst job they've ever seen.

Mostly, I never hear any feedback at all. So hearing something not only so positive for myself but promising more work for the firm is especially gratifying.

114 Redfin had an interesting report - one in eight houses being sold in San Francisco Bay Area is being sold at a loss (a year ago it was one in twenty).

Granted, the average house seller is still making bank (up $600,000 on average), but it is interesting that there is a significant number of people now who are losing money.

Another tweet from a former local CBS reporter (Liz Collin) who went indie after folks grumbled post-Floyd about her marriage with the police union president: "MORE: Multiple sources confirm Sathanandan was unhappy w/ police responding in 5 min. to the scene. She complained to @MayorFrey that it took too long."

The call hit scanners at 19:44 and she was likely tied up with officers and questioning until dark. Days are getting shorter real quick up here. So either the photo was either taken within that narrow window, or before placing the call (!), and the selfie doesn't look like a quick one off without fussing with her hair for awhile.

159 Looked into that Danny Masterson conviction. Seems California basically has no statute of limitations on rape charges; if the allegations/charges involve force or drugging, or even inebriation, there is no SOL, and if accused, you are SOL.

There are supposedly SOLs but there are so many potential aggravating factors they essentially don't exist. So in California and a bunch of other states, you can have charges brought against you for rape/sexual assault, at any time, your entire life. Good to know, I guess.
Did not know Danny Masterson was married to Bijou Phillips.

160 Speaking of urban disorder, I was driving in my placid Portland suburb, and was following a beat-up Lexus with no license plates.

Portland, which has given up on traffic enforcement, is full of cars with no license plates - the first thing car thieves do is take the plates off, and lots of ner-do-wells drive cars with no license plates around Portland as a matter of policy.

First time I've seen one in my suburb, though.

I'm not sure if the miscreant knows that he crossed the line into a county with adequate policing, and that he will get pulled over the first time a sheriff's deputy notices his car.

There's a chance the photo was highly filtered through the Instagram/Facebook app, and blood was color shifted to look more like her lipstick, plus other automatic digital touchups.

Blood pouring from a wound right under her hairline down the side of her face, and nothing on the collar of her shirt.

Also little spots all over her nose and cheek, which is what happens when you're sprayed with blood from elsewhere, not what happens when you have a wound on your temple. The story didn't say anything about her clobbering one of her assailants.....

What would really be fun would be the hockey players going after the activists. Years ago in Muskegon, Michigan a brawl broke out where hockey players went into the stands to fight with attendees. As I recall, it started because a woman dumped her soda pop on a player who was in the penalty box. I'd love to see environmentalists interfere with a hockey game.

The Free Methodist Church is still around. There is one down the street from my parents' house in W.PA. My Mom grew up in one but that was the 40s-50s. She goes to a Bible Study at that local FMC. I went with her this summer when I visited. I like the pastor and the Bible Study actually involved the Bible, which is a good sign.

Plus had Tora! Tora! Tora! and the original Japanese Gojira movie play in the background, not simultaneously because that would be weird.

Yes. The torque converter housing of the C4 automatic is a lot bulkier than the clutch housing of the old 8BA flattie. But the tweaks to the floorboards really don't intrude into the area needed for the driver and passenger's feet. And the floorboards are rusted as it is, so it really means just a minor increase of the amount of floor repair needed to make it safe.

Assuming it is a front-wheel drive car, which means nearly all of them now, sounds like a CV joint. The CV joint is a ball-and-race style of universal joint that transmits torque from the front drive axle to the wheel hub.

The preferred repair these days is to replace the entire half-axle, which has both the inner CV (which rarely fails) and the outer CV, which frequently fails. The good news is that such parts are not unduly expensive, since there is a thriving aftermarket.

No one is being virtuous. I don’t care what someone does. I’m just pointing out that the NFL is the worst offender by far so it makes no sense to boycott anything if you’re not going to boycott the NFL. That is if you’re boycotting based on a set of standards instead of what does or doesn’t effect you.

I was not referring to priests and nuns. I'm not following the reasoning in your question. An understanding of the working of creation does not create an obligation. A woman who wants to have sex with another woman can choose not to have sex as there is no reason to do so. Nor does she have an obligation to have sex with a man to procreate.

If you have the parts in hand, it should not be too hard to find a person to do the work. Realistically, you need an air impact to rattle off the big nut that holds the splined end of the CV axles in the hub, and a tool to separate the ball joint from the steering knuckle so you can swing the strut and hub away and withdraw the splined end from the hub. If you have those tools, it's a do-it-yourself job. Lacking those tools, it is a real PITA.

Man jailed for raping masked intruder in home

Canberra Times - August 28, 2023

A Melbourne man who overpowered and raped an intruder will spend at least four years in prison.

Klay Holland, 32, faced the Supreme Court of Victoria on Tuesday when he was sentenced to eight years' imprisonment, with a non-parole period of four years and 10 months.

Holland's victim, Shane Cox, had broken into a unit in Melton in Melbourne's west in March 2021 armed with a knife and wearing a mask.

He had asked for money and drugs, and was allegedly linked to others who had gone to the home to stand over a resident.

Mr Cox, 36, who was high on methylamphetamine, was overpowered by Holland who was a guest at the home.

Mr Cox was beaten with a baseball bat and was incapacitated on the floor, where Holland then raped him.

His body was found at the scene under a pile of blankets a day later by police, who arrived at the property on an unrelated matter.

He was hogtied, his mouth was duct taped and his pants were pulled down to his upper thighs.

Oh, fuck off. I'm not "above it all", I'm actually true to the principals we're supposed to be supporting. I don't give a shit who he fucks, as long as it isn't a child and is consensual. What I care about is what an individual actually does, and their sex life doesn't effect you, me or anyone else, until people try to make it a defining chiastic and respond not to the individual's actions, but to whatever group they want to put him in. "Smashmouth politics"? Bullshit. All you're doing is allowing the left to define the playing field, and thinking you can beat them at their own game.

Any individual's sex life is the least interesting thing about them.

Freedom has many very hard issues. There's a difference between "sodomy is okay by me" and "keep it to yourself, it has no place in the larger community". People can sin in their homes all they want, God will take care of that. That's not the same as parading the sin into the world at large and saying "celebrate me!".

383 Well, to comment on the... discussion... about homosexuality, societal laws have to be enforceable. That is, like the rule in the military, 'Don't give orders you know won't be obeyed'. Homosexuality has always existed and likely always will. Trying to eradicate it is impossible. The most oppressive totalitarians, the most intrusive theocracies, have not managed to eradicate it. Ergo, it is not possible.
So whatever the social answer is, it's not trying to totally eliminate occurrence in society completely, as that has proven over and over to be impossible. What the answer is, I dunno. The Old Ways (not the Pagan ones!) consisted of when discovered, the practitioner is barred, totally, from certain social positions and roles. Other than that, options become more and more ugly; and whether those are appropriate in a nominally Pluralist society...

384 Sounds like you yearn for more of a...middle eastern type society. Good luck with that.

You're delusional. Homosexuality was a criminal offense in many US jurisdictions into the late 90s, until a 5-4 supreme court majority said otherwise. The state you live in still has that offense on the books, refusing to repeal it even after the supreme court made it unenforceable. No one but the most radical progressives were lassez faire about homosexuality until the last quarter century or so. If you can't be arsed to defend traditional sexual mores, what exactly are you for conserving, the proper capital gains tax structure?

Modern conservatives think they can sip just a little penis. They seem not to have noticed that the same perverts who pushed for normalization of homosexuality are the very seem people who are always going on about trannies now, with a special focus on children in particular. Twenty years from now, conservatives will patiently be explaining to troglodytes like me how there's nothing wrong with transsexualism and that children are sexual beings from a very young age.

385 TECH THREAD NOOD

386 Two things re: Fallon (aside from the fact that he's a bad interviewer, fake-laughs and ruins his guests bits by trying to be a part of everything).

1. Iirc, his pall Horation Sanz (sp?) was allegedly grooming some girl, and Fallon was somehow connected. I don't know what ever became of that story.

2. F**k his staff, seriously. When Norm MacDonald was scheduled to be on the Tonight Show, the staff threw crying fits because Norm stood up a bit for Louis CK, Roseanne Barr etc. for their being cancelled. Norm's appearance was cancelled. Babies.

387 I know what I just said, too, and "So, because people kill each other we should just legalize THAT TOO!?"

No, there are penalties for killing people in the wrong way. Murderers used to be/still are, executed, but then too, not always. Homosexuals are like any other socially deviant/minority behavior that cannot be eliminated except by draconian measures and even then it's proven impossible to eliminate. Did all the laws against 'sodomy' keep it from happening? No, they did not. Ever. Whatever the solution to the current wild perversion, it does not lie in a shot at eradication, as that has been proven over, and over, and over again to not be successful and personally, I like projects that are successful and don't end in Sysiphian Tasks that produce little or no result.

388 You'd think conservatives would be aware of legal and cultural history from as short a time ago as the 90s, but you'd be wrong. They're know-nothings by and large and have no idea what they're for or why. Most are just unconsciously trying to defend the liberal order of the Clinton era at this point: don't ask, don't tell. Not out of any principal, but just as what an aging demographic is more comfortable with, and they seem genuinely surprised that their onion-belt conservatism appeals to no one.

And as for the middle east, in the end, if normal people are put to a choice between Weimar Germany and Islam, my money is on Islam.

Posted by: bear with asymmetrical balls at September 08, 2023 04:10 AM (KFhLj)

389 Eh, Islam has had serious phases of Sufi Mystical inroads that resulted in Ottoman Shamanism and widespread homosexuality. Even now, Muslim societies wouldn't be executing homosexuals if there weren't any and nobody did it.
Wiemar Germany isn't really a good example, it's an occurrence of a society in collapse, and a society that also already had a culture of at least transvestitism, it wasn't 'new', and it resulted in a reaction (kind of, I know the voting percentages) that resulted in Nazism that, also, totally failed to eradicate homosexuality.

390 Eradication isn't the goal of opposing homosexuality on moral grounds any more than is the case with adultery. You oppose evils, which are ever with us, to contain the damage and provide the conditions necessary for human flourishing. It's guardrails. A largely healthy society can have a number of weirdos and degenerates orbiting on the periphery. You can't shrug at widespread perversion and its acceptance and expect things to turn out well. As Tocqueville put it, families are the little platoons of democracy. Cabining human sexuality into constructive channels is necessary for those little platoons to thrive.

Oh! Phew! Had me worried there for a minute!

392 I realize this is a parallel lines discussion: they don't meet. For a variety of reasons (I am a tiny religious minority in America, for one!) I don't like the majority theocracy that's implied by the uses of the terms Good and Evil; a Plural society focuses on more what works and what doesn't in a practical sense and builds consensus on that foundation. It's obvious uncontrolled homosexuality Does. Not. Work. Widespread adultery and promiscuity Does. Not. Work. If the goal is to sustain at least population numbers, these two examples of Things That Do Not Work are quite illustrative.
Anyway, a lot to think about and I will.

393 You may not believe in good and evil, but good and evil believe in you. Your adversaries on the left, including the LGBT+ mafia, see you, and family values, as evil. The left says so all the time. You should believe them. In the end, someone is getting put on the trains. That's what time it is. Ironically, the right's insistence on tolerance in the face of intolerant ideologies has allowed those ideologies to metastasize, resulting in an existential cultural struggle. Either fight for your values now, or see them, and much else, die.
