Saturday Morning Coffee Break

rise-shine-20201210-1025 (1).jpg

***


This morning's deep thought: I want to be 14 again and ruin my life differently. I have new ideas.


Good morning Horde. Just a couple of rules here in this open thread.
Rules? Of course there are rules!

1A) No pulling the 'ettes hair.
1B) No you can't use the inkwells.
2) No running with sharp objects.
3) Chew with your mouths closed.
4) Be nice to one another.
5) Have a great weekend!

He knew his homies in the media and deep state would take care of it for him.

And they did.

Hunter is now out in California, living his best life as a "best-selling" author and painter! Life is good for millionaire crack-head grifters!

17 from last:

337 193 It is so sad to think that suburban TX residents now need generators."

My neighbor is younger and thinks he is all tech savvy. He had a generator, and he also had a new HVAC system with a "smart" thermostat. He hooked it all together, it was so smart that whenever the generator had run for 10 minutes, the "smart" thermostat turned it all off. He gave up and went to momma's house for the duration.

meanwhile, me with my dumb old space heaters that you light with a match stayed nice and warm throughout. So what if the room gets to be 90 degrees? I WANTED it to be 90 degrees! (I don't actually do that, but my wife sure does)

Don't get me started.......

Actually we went grocery shopping yesterday. Mrs. Mis. Hum. wore here Frito Bandito mask and I had mine on my neck. MI is draconian with their rules. However about 30% of the shoppers were either A) Not wearing masks or B) intentionally not wearing them properly.

"Never before has the leader of the free world been so cognitively compromised," Mr Bernardi said

--

Why, it's almost if there's some sort of plan by way of a growing call in the press for Congress to get rid of him in lieu of installing the much-despised Harris. Because we all knew of his cognitive impairment from the very start.

91 Alright, I need to up my coffee game. For the moment, I'm keeping my freshly cleaned, inside and out, 20 year old regular coffee maker. The method of making coffee is off the table for today. No french presses, etc.

For now, I'm looking at just buying satisfactory coffee. I'm a high volume addict/drinker and I have survived on truck stop vending machine coffee in the past. The kind in the paper cup with a hand of cards on the side for you connoisseurs. Lately it's been whatever is on sale, generally medium roast. Maxwell House, Folgers, Store Brand, etc. I splurged on some Starbucks last week and it was complete garbage. It didn't even smell like coffee in the bag or while brewing. Didn't taste awful. Didn't taste like anything at all.

So, what brand(s) should I be looking to try. What do you guys like for say, 10ish bucks a bag. If I genuinely like it, I'll spend a bit more. Whatdoyagot?

The most important thing is whole bean, grind it right before brewing. Make sure the expiration date on the bag is as far in the future as you can get it.

A big hidden truth of the modern area - business licensing and "regulations" exist primarily so that large, powerful companies with a lot of politicians on their payroll can use government to drive all of their smaller competitors out of business and keep them there.

That is to say hold the bureaucrats (who are really the ones writing the rules) to their own 'letter of the law, and make them address loopholes repeatedly. If they say "fabric covering" comply with the most ridiculous example of the word fabric (e.g. window screen materil, wire cloth). Every clamp down creates more loopholes.

146 "that the line 'they are a private company- they can do whatever they

None of "Corporate America" is a private company. They are "publicly traded" and allegedly have a lot of mandates placed on them. But the SEC and other agencies are fully corrupted, and these globalist entities don't serve shareholders, the same way DC Cartel does not serve We the People. --
I'm not sure how to describe the corrupt corporate world ... imo a few oligarchs have most control, but BigTech also made dirty deals with NSA (and others) which funded and supports much of their research, and helps control us. The masses just keep pouring their savings into "the markets", which funds corrupt globalism, instead of putting the money back into their own communities. This is especially irritating for government workers that tax money out of their community, and send it off to the global conglomerates to invest in ... China, so they can go retire in Florida, or Costa Rica.

178 A big hidden truth of the modern area - business licensing and "regulations" exist primarily so that large, powerful companies with a lot of politicians on their payroll can use government to drive all of their smaller competitors out of business and keep them there.

Look at the state licensing boards. OTs and PTs take a national test but each state has its own board for licensing. Just more cost to keep people from working (competing).

This is not the standard issue 15 yr old girl. She can lay down some awesome sarcasm that cuts to the bone and then finish with an epic eye roll that can be heard in Europe. She does not tolerate annoying shit, prefers to stay home, is ruining the grade curve for everybody in her class, loves Japanese animation and is a good artist. Oh and she does not give a tinkers damn if we fuck up her hair as long as it is "close enough". Hubbymayhem and I are the only people worried about how the end result of this haircut looks.

Has anyone else ever tried those Asian instant coffees? They come in individual serving packages, usually like long rectangular pouches. Just add hot water and serve. I quite like them. They usually come with milk and sugar added, but there's one I got that also had *durian* added as well. I've never had real fresh durian, though I know all about how bad it smells, but this was quite a nice additional flavour.

My last ground beef purchase was at Aldi's at over five pounds. I carefully decide where 1/5th was. So that's about one pound. Cut that carefully in half, then once again in half. So you end up with very close to 1/4 pound sections. No weighing required.

A one pound hunk of ground beef for meat loaf takes too long to defrost. I'd rather defrost (4) 1/4# sections.

Look at the very evil regimes of the Soviets, The Chicomms, Pol Pot, and Chaves. The poor were lead down paths that lead to bad times, poverty, and hunger. At those time then the educated, the city dweller, the Kulak (poor land owners) were blamed.
Notice how many times people gathering for work, for worship, or for family take the blame for the Covid Red Deaths.
And also note that the certain workers (healthcare) are praised for working through while others (teacher, government) are praised for NOT working.
Same goes for lockdowns are praised while Open states are lambasted.

You really do learn something new every day here. Whether it's something useful or even something you wanted to know is a different question.

I checked out Auction Ninja and then did some searching. It was totally not what I was expecting. Skaggs's Mandocaster was an actual Tele body and had eight strings so it must have been custom made. The one on auction looks rough but looks complete and apparently has good provenance. Probably not a bad buy for someone into that kind of stuff.

=========================
Wind is ridiculous. Even when functioning correctly, 70+% of the power gets lost at the source through step down transformers. (Notice: when you are driving past a wind farm, there are massive transformers at the base of those things.)
Maintenance on those is constant/expensive
Their full of haz. waste. Those things are going to be a bitch to dispose at end of life.
Chynah is already experiencing "wind shadow", that is, taking too much energy out of the atmosphere.

I was doing some genealogy research recently and came across something interesting about one particular troop ship. In the aftermath of WWII it transported refugees from war ruined eastern Europe to Australia. About 1,000 per trip for three plus years. The fourth year it brought refugees to the USA from those countries plus some who escaped Poland.

Including one two year old Polish girl and her parents. I dated that girl when she was in her teens and she never once mentioned her background.

Anyway, I imagine those refugees who ended up in Australia became some really proud liberty loving folks.

These images are from an internal whistleblower:

i looked at those images. one slide from the presentation says to be less white is to be:
be less certain, less arrogant, more open minded, more humble, listen, believe. all things you could say, being a good Christian.

The last line is the clincher though: break with white solidarity.
Would love to hear the definition of white solidarity. these race baiters have convinced the US was under apartheid and we are all being deprogrammed from slave owning south africans into humble less white drones.

Today is Moving Day. I get to move all my work and personal shit into the new industrial space I just leased this week. Feels good to finally be able to work comfortably, without tiptoeing around my brother's garage.

This is the THIRD time I've had to move either my workplace or myself in a year. But by far, this is the happiest move in a long time. My dad and one of my uncles came out yesterday to build shelving while I patched screw holes in the drywall to prep for painting in a few days. My brother, mom and her husband are all helping move boxes from storage today. Real family effort, and it feels good.

426 The 1964 Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination against whites as well as blacks, jews as well as christians, and against different "creeds" and - even - get this - against republicans.

What America needs is a fucking Rainbow Coalition to put together, and start lynching these motherfuckers forthwith.

In a truly multi-racial, polyethnic, respect your pronouns sort of way, of course.

Rinse, Lather, Repeat.

427 Rich Lowry is the biggest waste of space in the history of Punditry. He's been editor of NR for 20 years, and I can't remember one memorable phrase or interesting position from him. He's the lamest of the lame. The tritest of the trite. the Dullest of the dull. The perfect liberal/left punching bag, made for Meet the Press roundtables.

White solidarity means disagreeing with the left about anything on anything.

By their definition I am a white supremacist and am down with white solidarity.

New definitions comrades.

440 It is curious that somewhere along the way, official and unofficial policy with respect to government and corporate policy morphed from "Equality" and "Treat Everyone Equally" to "Whitey Needs To Be Killed."

Was there an arbitrary cutoff date in time where this was immediately apparent to people paying attention? Because I must have missed that in my required "Diversity" training.

Is it a given that "Diversity" must necessarily by definition ever and always be exclusive of any White people?

Taken to its logical conclusion therefore, and it pains me to say this, America owes Bull Connor and all those guys a huge apology. Correct? They weren't wrong, then. Segregation was completely justified. That's what leftists are proving, then, whether that is their intent or not. Do they realize this?

446 About masks: first time conversation waiting on line in store with a fellow anti masker. She was wearing a mask made of lace! What a great idea, since masks do not work, wear one made of lace. We both opined that everyone in CT has been brainwashed and mask compliance is over 95%. We parted telling each other "keep up the fight."
