Being Necessary To The Security Of A Free ONT, The Right Of The People To Keep And Bear Memes Shall Not Be Infringed

Welcome to Friday night! Today's question: Are memes a modern version of pamphlets from colonial times, and are they an effective way to persuade people?

19 Regarding Pizza - I bought two large one topping pizzas today and went to pick them up. When I get there, there is a board up announcing a Manager's special - two large, two topping pizzas for $10.99 each. However, I was asked to pay $32.00 for my order as I didn't qualify for the Manager's Special (apparently regular price). I bitched about it but paid and left after getting no satisfaction from the cashier.

Am I out of line to expect to be given the special price?

28 With all this 25th Amendment talk I said hey you know instead of just talking about it on the internet not knowing anything at all why don't I read the dang thing and see what it's all about?

Well.

Let me just say that it would be a shit show.

It doesn't remove the President from office just takes his powers. But the President can say hey I am okay give them back. So the VP and Cabinet have 4 days to agree or not. If they agree he gets them back. If not they can say no, he's still not capable. Then it goes to Congress and 2/3 of BOTH houses have to agree that he's not capable. But he still remains in the office of President. Just the powers devolve to the VP as Acting President.

Or if they don't vote that way it goes back to the President.

42 Ole Bill Harrison died in less than a month, he never even really served as president. One of the best rated by historians I'm sure.

But it created a test of the new system, because nobody really anticipated it fully. Tyler, the VP, said he was President, not "acting" President. He didn't think he needed to swear an oath having already done so, but he was persuaded to do so. And then he moved into the White House and that kind of settled the issue. Sort of.

63 Memes are anti-intellectualism.

There is more Truth in a funny meme than in fifty thousand words of masturbatory dreck cribbed by a fake professor, full of footnoted references to Marcuse and Derrida that don't even have anything to do with the text, and hinging entirely (to the extent it is even coherent) upon some preposterous monstrosity like the Labor Theory of Value or the Bongwater Theory of Unicorn Farts.

If it's a "manager's special," ask to talk to the manager. The cashier may only need an IQ of 65 or so, but the manager should be of functional intelligence.

97 42 But it created a test of the new system, because nobody really anticipated it fully. Tyler, the VP, said he was President, not "acting" President. He didn't think he needed to swear an oath having already done so, but he was persuaded to do so. And then he moved into the White House and that kind of settled the issue. Sort of.

I don't know if this is a well-known bit of trivia in these parts, but Tyler was the only President/former President who did not receive a state funeral upon his death.

Getting elected to the Confederate Congress in the 1860's didn't sit well with some people.

-

We had a car show recently where a Tesla owner parked his car with a fancy sign talking about how it was the fastest sedan on earth and this that and the other.

Not one single person did much beyond laugh as they passed.

I decided that part of the problem is that you can't simultaneously insist that EVs are boring everyday commuters like a Honda Accord and everyone could drive one pain-free *and* they're something special to be admired like the slower but gorgeous and exhilarating Porsche GT3 parked next to it. Not to mention people who like car shows are usually interested in cars. Golf cars with funny cartoons painted on the back are slightly popular if the cartoon is clever enough, but that's about as far as it goes for golf carts unless they're 4x4 or something really unusual.

150 The VA was still paying widow's benefits to a couple civil war spouses till not all that long ago. The way it used to work, a soldier's pension was transferable. So a 99 year old war veteran would "marry" a 17 year old or somesuch.

Lew Rockwell published a neat story by somebody once, something something about the "Greek Order of Water Carriers" or something like that. This was basically a group that formed a kind of labor union about 1000 years ago. Nobody is carrying water down from the moutains any longer, but the inherited pension system of retirment benefits was still chugging along, somehow.

Have to go back and read but i think they have 21 days to decide. And it's 2/3 of both Houses which is a higher threshold than impeachment. And think of the lobbying and horse trading. Because it would have to be a bipartisan vote.

And suppose Harris - or any VP, really - did it and then the President took back power. That would make for some uncomfortable meetings.

181 I pay too much for delivery pizza. It sort of pencils out if you squint, because I restrict calories otherwise. It is tough to make it pencil out in an inflationary environment, so I watch for 1/2 off sale coupons. Then, I can still give a tip to the driver. There are a lot of costs associated with retail stuff, but the customer only sees one number.

I don't know if anyone cares, but Pres. Milei of Argentina is accusing Pres. Arce of Bolivia of staging a fake coup to garner support for Arce's re-election in 2025. This point of view is attributed to declarations by the General who led the coup, and the ex-president of Bolivia, Evo Morales.

It was noted years ago that the communists have an inability to create memes, and the hatred they have for them. It's not an incorrect observation. I assume it's because of lack of joy.

Don't forget, it wasn't too long ago that a White Nationalist Christian Separatist Isolationist was jailed for creating or sharing a meme.

287 Flipped over to CNN about five minutes ago to see the post-interview wake. And it was that, combined with a bit of whistling past the graveyard. Not surprising, obviously, but there was one thing that caught my attention.

When they went to commercial, the first one was hyping Dr. Sanjay Gupta's upcoming special on dementia, cognitive decline, and Alzheimer's. The next up was promoting medications to help with memory loss.

I think that may be the clearest indicator of where CNN is at as the Biden drama unfurls.

One is a Dixon ZTR, similar to the one I have with bad engine. It starts and runs, but will need some servicing to be a reliable mower. The other is a small John Deere, that's in pieces. For parts.

I decked the trailer at his place, and continued on in to Calgary to do some shopping that had to be done/ Stampeded is on, and, of course, many streets are torn up because the water system is crippled, due to lack of proper maintenance by a series of dumbass muslim mayors. Current one is a woman named Coyote Bulldyke, or something close to that.

But I persevered, and got my shopping done, headed back out, picked up the trailer, and made it home.

You want to use Morell, not Fiesta brand for the flavor, but no. I even have trouble with crisco, and it was made for pie crusts.
Once in a while it turns out OK, but I have to be extra careful with it, not make it when it is 90 out, I find if I use white rum instead of a dash of cold water for the final addition to it, I have slightly better luck.
I even was using pastry flour for the crust, and it still was little better than the ones I used to make with corn oil.

It's near the beginning, and Susan tries to comfort Lucy by saying, "The war won't last forever." And she's saying this as a Brit, the country that was one of two main belligerents of the Hundred Years War. It was jarring, but I'll forgive one historical misstep in an otherwise great movie. There are actually some things that the movie does better than the book, which I know is heresy to say as an English Major, but it's still true.

Good day, for sure. But the Suburban gave me some grief. I started out with the transmission in tow/haul mode, and it was shifting up and down wildly for some reason. Put it back in normal mode, and all was well. And the cruise control was erratic, too. I think the cause is a weak return spring on the brake pedal, allowing the pedal to droop a little, kicking out the cruise. Might be the root of the transmission issue, too.

Slice of cold pizza and a few other things were in the exercise.

I had a girlfriend who refused to buy beef steaks because she felt she never cooked them well, and there were cheaper cuts of meat to cook poorly. I secretly laughed at her, since the secret to getting good is learning from the mistakes, not refusing to make them.

And yet here I am trying to explain to myself that I don't make butter pastry because I am no good at it, and I don't want to waste the money . . . I should thank you Jordan for making me look at myself. I am sorry it is hard for me to do so with graciousness your service to me deserves.

351 It used to be you wanted anti-freeze for your car, it was easy. Buy the green stuff. Now? Fuck, they have eleventy gazillion different kinds. Good luck!

You wanted oil? Easy. 10w30. Headlamps? They were all round, and fit different makes.

Pizza was kind of the same way. You want Pepperoni, or maybe Sausage? They didn't have fifty thousand choices, extra this or extra that, that I remember too much. We just ordered a couple extra large and they were pretty good sized.

Even coffee. I remember Folger's wasn't the best coffee in the world, but it was pretty strong if you made it that way. You could get Regular and Drip grind.

Now they have about 25 or 35 different kinds, with fancy names, and they all taste like shit to me. I think we're being scammed here. McDonald's use to sell burgers, fries, and shakes. Nothing else. Core competencies have to be met, before going off into la-la land the way I see it.

I get the sentiment, but in reality it's not so bad regarding coolant.

Theres three kinds.
Most all modern cars use some sort of OAT. Yeah the different manufacturers have different colors, but they're all more or less the same makeup.

Except Dodge. They use HOAT. Because Mooar.

Fhen there's IAT, which is what everyone with a classic ar is used to. The green stuff.

There is a universal fluid available that you can mix with fhe others and not gel everything up.

I maintain a family fleet of 1984 to 2014 year GM, Mopar, FoMoCo, and a BMW. For fluid flush I'll use what the manual says to use, For top-offs I buy the yellow universal stuff that mixes with all the others.

This'll be our 3rd half steer and first half pig.
The beef is grass-fed by a local farmer we have gotten to know.Good man.
The pork is from a family we found who has been raising pork for decades. We're hoping the pork will be as good as the beef.
Nothing like it.

I'm going to look into if the butcher (for the beef) will process chicken for us. We just dont have the bandwidth (yet) to raise AND slaughter them.

Today was a scorcher. I hit the highest yet, 98.4F with my station. We're in "moderate drought" (D1 level) now. We had a little thundershower this afternoon, hitting a little after 6PM, and I got 0.28" out of it.

Looking, GSP airport set a daily record, 100.9F, beating the old July 5th record of 99F. That's a relatively low high for July records. Most of the other days are 100 - 103F level, so this puts the 5th record in line with that.

July 1, 2012 was also the all-time high for GSP, 107F. I remember that one.

We're also flirting with highest lows are well for these dates, but won't quite make it.

This pretty oddball, when the daily lows occur in the late afternoon, not early morning. That early morning low was just a smidge lower than the highest low record for the 5th, but dropping it down after the shower pushed the daily low well below for me.

It's actually a graphic there, too. But it's cool, innit?

And Mark Halperin has declared Harris to be the candidate. I wonder what a Trump/Kamala debate will be like.

428 Sending up a prayer for you and Mama, Miklos. So sorry for what you and she are facing.

Yeah, you click on that and it comes up as a graphic. You can't drag over the text and paste it into this place.

And I'm so sorry to the morons who are struggling with health issues or who have loved ones in that situation. I say, take advantage of this time to get closer to everyone. One of the silver linings of these times is that it tightens the bonds between those who are grieving.

They're talking about Kamala. Uh-oh, she and Willie Brown flew together on Trump's private jet.

They also say she's a terrible organizer and people don't like her.

Hmmmm. This "in all good conscience" clause of the DNC delegate pledging rules is interesting.

They could invoke that, saying that in all their good conscience, they just can't vote for Biden knowing what they now know. So, the pledging thing is not absolute.

Hey, Tonypete.

I’m gettin’ tired out sayin’ “Hi” to everybody.

You should have said, "The rest of you can just consider yourselves Hied."
Then AutoCucumber would have magically made it Hired.

And now all of us Morons, paying attention, would be expecting a paycheck!!

Intriguing, isn't it?

God, whenever I have a bad day at work or something makes me feel like a failure, I think of people like Biden in this situation. The eyes of the entire world on him, angry or betrayed or vindicated or full of salacious curiosity, waiting for him to implode or apologize. He can't make a single false step. He knows that everyone with whom he comes into immediate contact knows what a mess he's in. He screwed it up, he's taking down his family, his party, the country, the WORLD.

447 Looks as if this will be an all-nighter, thus far sleep is elusive. It's a real pain the next day, can't even force myself to do anything but take 15 minute naps that do no good in terms of actual rest. But OTOH that's a 1st world problem.

and it seems NOT to be one of those chemicals with terrible-nasty side effects.
