Welcome to still yet another Olympics edition of Hunky Hump Day. I’m stupid happy that I have classic WordPress to poat this. Let’s do some more medal winners this week, but first, the song. It’d be an 80’s Mystery Click if this were the mothership.
Now for the hunks.
Kevin McDowell, mixed relay triathlon.
Kyle Dake, wrassling.
Nic Fink, swimming.
Caeleb Dressel making a repeat appearance in a cool photo.
Yeah, I like the swimmers.
Last, but not least, Zach Apple.
Thanks to Pirate’s Cove for the linky love every week, and y’all have a good day.

I get to play in the lab today.
wakey wakey
SQUEEee!!
That is so freaking cute, pupster.
*sings*
Baby budgie, baby budgie. Riding sideways on a puppy, baby budgie…
No lab for me, but I might work through a udemy class.
Baby finches are yet to officially fledge and dove eggs are yet to hatch. It’s got to be any day for both.
Maybe Australia will now stop the commie freak tactics…

Can American docs do that yet or are we stuck buying it in Apple Flavor and measuring the dose after taring the cracker on the kitchen scale?
Ok, this is funny – mostly the first line. Politico article:
“BERLIN — Until Sunday, Europe thought Joe Biden was an expert on foreign policy.
Now, the American president’s decision to allow Afghanistan to collapse into the arms of the Taliban has European officials worried he has unwittingly accelerated what his predecessor Donald Trump started: the degradation of the Western alliance and everything it is supposed to stand for in the world.
Across Europe, officials have reacted with a mix of disbelief and a sense of betrayal. Even those who cheered Biden’s election and believed he could ease the recent tensions in the transatlantic relationship said they regarded the withdrawal from Afghanistan as nothing short of a mistake of historic magnitude.”
I don’t like this.

At least Rocketboy and DIL got the J&J shot, not the Pfizer.
Leon, depends on where you’re at. I think Osita said it was verboten in NM. I think I could get it here with a sympathetic doctor (not my GP, though, sadly) or through an online doc.
Where’s Sobek been?
I have a song where the singer uses one word for bunches of notes. Weren’t we talking about that before?
The Israeli data is what leads me to believe it’s possible that “delta” is the vaccines themselves. 80% of their pop is mRNA’d now, and yet, here we are.
Work is asking me to declare my vaccination status, with the usual bilge about how the info will be kept confidential. I have the option to declare “I am not getting the vaccine” or “I decline to answer”. Antibodies from having the chyna flu is not an option, it’s the shot or nothing. I can’t decide which one to go with but figure I will delay answering at all in the meantime, especially since they are pushing booster shots after eight months.

Watching the road crew out front putting the lane marking on the road. They’re basically iron on patches for asphalt. It’s actually kinda cool to watch.

MJ, they are already that way for Downs Syndrome babies.
Holy shit.
I just realized the 20th anniversary of 9/11 is coming up and the Tallybahn is back in charge of Afghanistan.
I hear the fireworks show in Kabul is going to be lit.
I know…
It’s infuriating to listen to people (asshole father in law) say ‘they should have been aborted’.
I can’t understand that soullessness.
aww poor teachers union doesn’t have power in iowa
this is law here they can’t mandate masks in school. crt is out too. reynolds and the gop legislature have done a great job there.
Here’s to all you liberal believersABBOTT AND COSTELLO’S ‘WHO’S BEEN VACCINATED?’ 😆😆😆
Bud: ‘You can’t come in here!’
Lou: ‘Why not?’
Bud: ‘Well because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But I’m not sick.’
Bud: ‘It doesn’t matter.’
Lou: ‘Well, why does that guy get to go in?’
Bud: ‘Because he’s vaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But he’s sick!’
Bud: ‘It’s alright. Everyone in here is vaccinated.’
Lou: ‘Wait a minute. Are you saying everyone in there is vaccinated?’
Bud: ‘Yes.’
Lou: ‘So then why can’t I go in there if everyone is vaccinated?’
Bud: ‘Because you’ll make them sick.’
Lou: ‘How will I make them sick if I’m NOT sick and they’re vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But they’re vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘But they can still get sick.’
Lou: ‘So what the heck does the vaccine do?’
Bud: ‘It vaccinates.’
Lou: ‘So vaccinated people can’t spread covid?’
Bud: ‘Oh no. They can spread covid just as easily as an unvaccinated person.’
Lou: ‘I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore. Look. I’m not sick.
Bud: ‘Ok.’
Lou: ‘And the guy you let in IS sick.’
Bud: ‘That’s right.’
Lou: ‘And everybody in there can still get sick even though they’re vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘Certainly.’
Lou: ‘So why can’t I go in again?’
Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘I’m not asking who’s vaccinated or not!’
Bud: ‘I’m just telling you how it is.’
Lou: ‘Nevermind. I’ll just put on my mask.’
Bud: ‘That’s fine.’
Lou: ‘Now I can go in?’
Bud: ‘Absolutely not?’
Lou: ‘But I have a mask!’
Bud: ‘Doesn’t matter.’
Lou: ‘I was able to come in here yesterday with a mask.’
Bud: ‘I know.’
Lou: So why can’t I come in here today with a mask? ….If you say ‘because I’m unvaccinated’ again, I’ll break your arm.’
Bud: ‘Take it easy buddy.’
Lou: ‘So the mask is no good anymore.’
Bud: ‘No, it’s still good.’
Lou: ‘But I can’t come in?’
Bud: ‘Correct.’
Lou: ‘Why not?’
Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But the mask prevents the germs from getting out.’
Bud: ‘Yes, but people can still catch your germs.’
Lou: ‘But they’re all vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘Yes, but they can still get sick.’
Lou: ‘But I’m not sick!!’
Bud: ‘You can still get them sick.’
Lou: ‘So then masks don’t work!’
Bud: ‘Masks work quite well.’
Lou: ‘So how in the heck can I get vaccinated people sick if I’m not sick and masks work?’
Bud: ‘Third base.’

I should have mentioned it was stolen from a friend who put it on Signal in a small chat circle we have among a few like minded people. I’m sure he stole it from somewhere else
The TLA that I contract for sent me a replacement laptop for the network I never use so I can take mandatory training to maintain access to the network I do use.

Thanks. I don’t need it, I had the bug back before it was cool (i.e. back when Nancy was telling people to go to Chinatown), was mostly asking about legality.
Day 2. Biden still president.
I really don’t think this will have any negative consequences for him, long term.
The laptop thing is now officially Twilight Zone.
It thinks I’m someone else with the same first and last name.
Let it burn.
I love free learning. Guys, check out edx.org for free coursework, if you’re interested. There’s some fun scientific cooking content on there that I did a couple times, years ago and thoroughly enjoyed.
I intend to fully retreat from the news cycle which will soon be filled with images of Americans being beheaded and burned alive and everything else you can imagine, by the thousands. They are certainly being found and captured as we sit here, and it’s going to be hideous.
The other guy has a Teams meeting in 5 min.
I should go. Could be fun.
Go in, talk shit, tell them how to fix all their problems, and then log outl.
Could be a fun way to change jobs.
“Leon, you’re fired. Also, the other team wants to hire you.”
scientific cooking? *perk
He is theoretically in that meeting now with Garland’s people. I decided to skip it, because fuck meetings.
IT were finally convinced of the fuckup and are sending me another laptop. I currently have the old one and the new one that isn’t mine and have to wait for the new one that is mine so I have a box and a packing label to send back the new one that isn’t mine.
So, you know, when you think about the IC potentially targeting the good guys, don’t make the mistake of overestimating them.
MJ, the dem plan was to leave Afghanistan on September 11. The idiots thought those optics would be good. No.
only gained a pound this weekend, eating mom’s food since friday. Win!
Oh hey!
Booster shots for everyone after 8 months!
FFS, this is a total joke.
yeah, because the islamists hate anniversary attacks.
Good thing Hillary and Obama caught that, otherwise the media might not have been able to blockade news of Benghazi, and Obama might not have been reelected.
But after all this dominion stuff, i wonder if he ever was.
wife’s company just reinstated office mask mandates. They are based in NY so that’s why.
I think I told you guys this…
Mask mandates at school because cases were bad in India. School has Indian teachers.
Said with a straight face.
You can’t win against that kind of thinking.
mask mandate back in Oakland county – which is the one to the south of me.
People just want to feel in control.
The truth is, you might get covid. And you’ll probably be ok. But there’s a very, very small chance you won’t.
But the magic thing, whether its a rock or essential oil or a mask makes people feel like they aren’t helpless.
We’re all masked up in Vegas too – in the office (but not in our cubicles) and stores. Screw you Steve Sisolak. No end in site to this nonsense.
I’m starting to feel the same way I do when I get behind in a training program or when I never used to do my homework in school.
Everyone is going to be on their 9th covid shot or 200th or whatever and I’ll still be working on number 1.

Yup. It’s part of human nature, which is why I was fine with the initial round of “mask up in public areas” a year ago. I didn’t think it would do much of anything, but hoped that it would be enough to make people feel like they had some control and go back to living life.
When people feel like they have absolutely no control, that’s when they panic and start doing stupid shit. It’s also why the most important element of leadership is to make a decision and start a course of action. It doesn’t matter if it’s right or wrong, just that once you get people moving and doing something, a good leader can adjust the rest on the fly.

I just read an op-ed by Mike Pence (yeah, “that” Pence) who detailed how Biden pretty much ditched the agreement formed between the US and the Taliban. It upends the WH talking point that their hands were tied because of an agreement signed by his predecessor. That notion requires the rubes to believe that Presidentish Biden hasn’t reversed all of Trump’s successful policies except that single one
Everyone is going to be on their 9th covid shot or 200th or whatever and I’ll still be working on number 1.

A few older women dropped out of crossfit because of COVID. One woman didn’t want to , but her best friend was more concerned because she had a husband who wasn’t in the best of health.
So, it’s been a year and a half and they haven’t been back. The couple with the husband not well went on a trip to Mexico where he dropped dead in the hotel room. Cardiac or something – but there was obviously no hospital, ambulance, etc to take him
So, completely change your life (they were 5 times a week crossfitters) and you lose who you were trying to protect.
Of course, I feel bad or her. But this is what we’ve come to.
This was a good read.I used to to bleach my brain after reading stupid shit on facebook.
Ain’t no “let”, it’s completely ablaze now. Still too many folks thinking all the smoke means nothing.
Fuck ’em. Too late now, say I.
We don’t need no water, let the motherfucker BURN…
Biden administration is set to recommend booster shot at 8 months mark.

As long as we’re mandating vaccines, why not mandate getting healthy.

How dare we shame overweight people and tell them to change their diets, exercise, and take charge of their health! Instead we should shame people who refuse to take an experimental injection every eight months for the rest of their lives.

Let’s talk about this pain.
We’re recommending masks for everyone again. Even the vaccinated. Not mandated. Not required. How many managers do you think will screw this up and piss people off? We have a mask Nazi that rats out anyone working with their masks wrong. One CoW cut the lining out of his mask, MN reported him to manager. I’m already tired of being yelled at for not having masks in stock. We clearanced them out in May when no one was buying masks anymore.
So I haven’t used grocery curbside pick-up since IN dropped its mask bullshittery. I got an email offering me a discount on the next year’s worth of orders if I renew. I don’t need it at all unless the mandarins try to pull mask bullshit again.
For the good of all Hoosiers, I’m renewing, ensuring that it won’t be needed. They will never even know that I have saved them, but it’s okay, I don’t need accolades or a parade. I make this sacrifice knowing it is for the good, even if none shall see.

Point being, J’ames (and I know you know this) – why are we pretending that younger fit people are really in danger from covid? Add in the treatments that the government wants to ignore, this entire thing is so effen overblown it is scary.
How in the FF do we leave the biometric database for the Taliban to use against locals?
Of ALL things to destroy or take wouldn’t that be at the top of anyone’s list??
WTF?
Jay, you’re not fat anymore and neither am I.
If they do start masks again, I’m just going to dress like I’m in the Taliban, grow my beard out, and shave my mustache.
Pivot back to covid.
Astan is old news. Asked and answered.
Mask up faggots.
And not trying to be dick here, but literally everything you read says MASKS WORK!
Are there any studies showing this? I keep asking…
There are actually studies they don’t even help with surgical infections.
Drywall dust. Sawdust. Hay. Paint. That’s it.
I don’t like the social effects of mask wearing. Seriously.
Opera gloves would have been a better public health measure.
And no one is wearing the right mask or wearing it the right way!
Which of course, I don’t care.
Let’s just infect each other (spoiler: we already have) and get on with our lives. Vaccines are creating variants like overuse or incorrect use of antibiotics do to bacteria.
So it’s vaccinated people creating the new problem. Had to be said.

How in the FF do we leave the biometric database for the Taliban to use against locals?
Of ALL things to destroy or take wouldn’t that be at the top of anyone’s list??
WTF?
The biometrics databases are scattered all over the country, because you have to install them onto the devices used to collect biometrics. You have mobile systems used to collect biometrics and compare them against local databases, and get updated from stationary systems (usually a laptop and peripherals) which receive regular updates from databases elsewhere, either through the internet or via thumb-drive updates.
The thing is, I’m not sure how much help those are going to be, since the policy was to basically enroll everyone. All having your biometrics in the system says is that you at some point came into contact with coalition or Afghan forces.
I read from some SEALS that the database consisted of those who helped in any way with Americans. And regardless of being all over the city all should be accounted for and a system for destruction or removal upon notice.
Agree, Mitch. Him and that idiot Lloyd should resign in shame.
Ass kissers.
If they didn’t wipe out their databases before pulling out, that’s on them. It takes two seconds to wipe a database from the handheld devices, literally pushing two buttons. And, IIRC, the devices lock down if you enter the wrong password two many times.
If the Taliban want to find out who helped the US, there are easier ways than trying to use these systems. And in terms of sensitive items, they’re low on the priority list.
Masks don’t stop drywall dust. That’s why Home Depot sell N-95 masks.
There have been many studies that show they don’t work.
All ignored because WE MUST DO SOMETHING!
You knuckle-dragging troglodytes just don’t unnerstan The Mask: it’s not to filter virus particles but rather they stop virus-laden Droplets from spewing out of your filthy, unvaxed pie-holes. It’s a Science™.
Social distancing is the same.
It’s aerosolized, droplets are just what flies out of Fauxzi when he insists that he is Science and may not be argued with.

North Dakota had a mask mandate and social distanced.
South Dakota did nothing.
Way back in a simpler era I used to get a pack of N-95 masks from Amazon Subscribe And Save every 6 months. It didn’t last long, maybe 2 or 3 cycles before Covid hit. We’d use them for random deep cleaning the house with stinky cleaners and every now and then when mowing the lawn (my old neighbor with bad allergies gave me that idea). Covid ended that PDQ and banning Parler put Amazon on my shit list. They’re getting about 90% less business from me.
Amazon’s loss, Walmart’s gain
just don’t unnerstan The Mask

It’s simply a visible submission to the state
From WSJ:
1. Afghan military members fled the country in a U.S.-supplied aircraft. At least 46 planes and helicopters carried hundreds of Afghan service members across the border into Uzbekistan and Tajikistan since last weekend, according to U.S. officials. The U.S. provided the aircraft and other arms to the Afghan National Security Forces to enable them to defend the country, according to White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan.

This is how Covid is going to play out:
Vax’d people are going to discover that it gave them minimal protection with diminishing returns. They still carried the virus, and infected others and most likely lead to the variants.
Non-vax’d people took the risk – if they were young and healthy, they were probably fine. If they were older and healthy – again probably also fine. Yes, vulnerable people died, but perhaps THEY should have gotten the Jab.
Covid recovered patients – pretty good immunity, far superior to vax. They are they key to resuming normal life, since they actually DO offer “herd” immunity.
Team Sundowner was awol. HRC was meeting with foreign leaders. If you consider Justin Castro as a foreign entity.
Got a call from the Geico Gekko the other day;
It’s about time for your auto and homeowners renewal. You are going to be surprised, if you have not been paying attention to your state politics. The Washington state insurance commissioner has been pressured by several racial grievance groups to forbid us from using credit score to rate risk in our insured.
He has caved to them. You will now get an increase in rates due to them being bad risks.
To be clear, this is not my fault. I thought I should call and warn you so you don’t get pissed and come kick my ass.
So rating people who can not manage to live within their means is not an approved way of assessing the risk of insuring them?
Our rates went up close to 50%. Thanks insurance commishioner!
That is called justice.

There are 49 people on vents in Iowa, 893 available. Hospitalizations, ICUs, and vents all rising.
deaths are not rising
Admitted. We are having a higher spike right now than we had earlier in the year. Most of the cases are with younger people. However most in the hospital are older.
Correct, Death’s are still near zero. But we must still all panic.
there are 103 covid patients in ICU in Iowa, up from 93 yesterday. there are 3 million people in Iowa.
and hydroxy and ivermectin are taboo

“We have about 600 ICU beds,” Reynolds said. “And then there are some that are not adult beds that we could potentially utilize as well.”
The governor said that overall, the state has approximately 12,000 hospital beds, but hospitals currently only have enough to staff to cover about 9,000 of them.
That was from November 2020

“UPDATE: Also, at one point Stephanopoulos starts to ask about the hundreds of Afghans packed into transport planes and photographed falling off of airplanes, and Biden interrupts, saying “That was four days ago, five days ago!”
It was a revealing moment, first because in fact, it was day before yesterday. And second, because the point is completely irrelevant. The airport fiasco will be evidence of Biden’s inept conduct of the withdrawal for many years to come. Two days or four, what is the difference? The brief exchange shows how sensitive Biden is to the video and photographic evidence that his management of the withdrawal has been a disaster.”

Wait, check that, we actually got most of our people out of Vietnam.

My new favorite conspiracy theory is that the botched withdrawal was a deliberate plot to create a reason for another invasion/occupation.
