Uh…I’ve seen the Dr. Pepper beans. Never had ’em. Recipe actually make some sense when you think about it, other than the unholy chemicals in the drink which are probably present anyway in anything in your average grocery store and I’m just going to be quiet now.
Yesterday at my Normie-Job I heard an 80-something year old woman read aloud an article about how a cruise line would no longer offer stops in St. Petersberg, and would cost the Russian people there millions of dollars in lost revenue. She was almost gloating about the prospect of the impoverishment of those affected.
Short story. Last night I had a table – a woman wanted a Moscow Mule, but she said she didn’t want to call it that . You know, RUSSIA. I told her and her entire table that the Russian PEOPLE have done nothing wrong, and that the drink isn’t a Putin mule. that the poor Russians are trying to get out of their country if they can.
I would remind you it wasn’t Vladimir Putin who has been conducting a scorched-earth culture war upon our beliefs, history, and identity, and degraded our social fabric to the point we now have to fight against the normalization of transsexualism. It wasn’t the Russians who outsourced our productive capacity while sending us upon one misbegotten war after another and flooding the country with drugs. It wasn’t ‘Ivan’ who caused the biggest wealth transfer in human history with the Covid scandal, fomented riots across the country, or “fortified” the election. Most of the ills I’ve seen metastasize over the course of my life, with increasing speed over recent years, were not the result of some foreign plot, but were born right here. Rattle your sabers against foreigners on the other side of the planet if it makes you feel better, but don’t confuse that with bravery. It just makes you a mark. If you truly wish to show your quality, summon the courage to attack the very real patronage networks who guide our course. Bring your powers to bear against those who shape the opinions and policies by which we live and die.

Just finished up BBF for next week. Mrs. Pupster and Boy2 are in OH until Monday-ish, Boy1 and I are taking care of things here in The Queen City. Lovely day today, the birdies are singing and it’s partly cloudy but warm. I will either make a meatloaf or meatballs later, they both seem like too much work right now.
Meanwhile, while everyone is looking at Ukraine, this shit deal is happening in the shadows. Calling it a deal is too generous, it’s a giveaway, pure and simple

FB had a video where the caption was “When you put a ghost pepper in your lunch to find out who’s been stealing it.” Nurse in scrubs calmly sips a drink while someone in the background is coughing and making strangled, puking sounds.
Before my time at work, there was a lunch thief. Co-worker swapped Chiclets gum for Feen-a-mint.(a laxative in chewing gum form, do they still make that?). Thief missed two days of work from shitting himself, and it’s a wonder it didn’t kill him, he ate the whole box.
I had occasionally put food in the fridge at big box store, but was not happy about it because the young guys who worked there would open the fridge and…look around in it, the way you poke through the fridge at home. If you bring a lunch to work, at breaktime you open the fridge, get your bag out, and go sit down to eat. You do not SHOP. This was a tell. So I would mostly put salads in there, which to a young guy is like holy water to vampires.
I think young guys just hardly ever prepare their own food, and their money for takeout starts getting thin before the next payday. And they don’t care where the food comes from.
In contrast, females typically do not want to eat other people’s food from home. It’s yecchhy.
Happened to me at one of my old office jobs. I was furious and started bringing my food in a little insulated lunchbox and sticking it under my desk. Coworker in the next cubicle laughed at me about it, like I was making a big deal over nothing. Weeks later, it happened to him. You could see steam rising off him. And plotting revenge in the form of boobytrapped food, similar to Roamy’s coworker’s plan.
At work, we really look forward to our lunch, that’s just the way it is.
My thief took a liverwurst sandwich on homemade honey wheat bread. I hope he choked on it. Never Forget, hahahaaa.
It’s one thing if it’s every now and then, mmm, that smells good, can I have a taste? It’s another when it’s every day. Lunch by committee, death by a thousand bites.
Rather than bringing lunch I’d just buy oatmeal cups and granola-ish bars and make hot water for oatmeal and coffee. Every once in a while I’d risk the fridge down the hall with leftovers from home.

$4 a gallon everywhere this morning. I’m going to burn two 26 gallon tanks full between work & taking better half to Chemo this week.
Really wish there was a journalist with A ball, much less a pair, to ask the next time Psaki claims gas prices are not the fault of their policies, “did you eat paint chips when you were a child?”
Thursday, when I went to PT, gas was $3.95. This morning it is $4.21.
All the memes this morning only show me the left half, but fill the frame. Kinda like the picture at the top of BBF.

Chris, I typically can go a week on 1 tank full in my F150, this past week with med appointments for TBH I had to put another $50 in it to make it to my usual fill up on Saturday for the week.
That said, city chickens that like to talk down to us hicks in the sticks are clueless what their votes bought them when they typically drive maybe 100 miles every week. I watched gas prices rise 70 cents over 5 days, 20 of those cents overnight last night.
The only place democrats want to drill is in our wallets!
Rising gas prices have no effect on people who live in a big city and take the metro everywhere. We don’t even notice gas prices. Think how much easier that makes it not to care when political decisions make them go up.
I wrote that before I saw DNH make the same point.

Well, Pup, on rare occasions, I’ve had to suspect some of the pictures involved someone with Photoshop visiting a Holstein cow farm with a camera in tow…not by any means calling large breasted woman cows, but your if you’re 20ish & never squeezed out a rug rat, chances lean toward manufactured boobs.
Love the memes. Good job. My rant for the day:Weiner dog races are having to be inclusive and allow any dog under 25# to compete. Including the Der Wienerschnitzel races.

Over $4 here. Diesel was $4.99 at the cheap station a few hours ago.
Comment by Dave's not here on March 5, 2022 5:38 pm
Regarding my birch I pitched about gas prices, the oil contracts that supplied gas today were settled 2 -4 months ago. Today’s gas prices should either be based on those contract prices, or if gas is currently based on futures when the futures collapse gas should collapse just as quickly, not a penny or two per week. Don’t lie to me about no money to be made. You either made it coming in or are making it leaving. Oligarchs aren’t limited to being a Russians, they exist here too.
I saw diesel listed at $4.99 today, which truck driver do city chickens think should eat that price increase for them?
Sobek, rising fuel prices make the price of everything else go up too, of course. I suspect the reason people in DC don’t notice their restaurant meals have nearly doubled in cost is because they can afford it anyway. And if they are lefties they have lots of scapegoats already lined up.

Yeah, the high dollar restaurants exist because of expense accounts, not because of family dining. If you’re not paying the tab then who cares if prices go up? On the contrary, actually, if you’re not paying the tab then there’s a part of you that wants everyone else to know you’re eating expensive food.

Didn’t we hit peak oil about 18 years ago, according to science, but the planet miraculously continues to hit new peaks with every options contract since?
Also, shouldn’t ships be able to sail across the arctic trouble free now?
Science! It’s teh shit!
Some of my former coworkers were rabid lefties who bitched about the oil industry. Yeah, let’s see how hospitals operate without single-use or single-client plastics. IV tubing and bags, disposable syringes, NG tubes, catheters, bedpans, water pitchers, urinal bottles, not to mention all the structural plastic in the equipment and hospital itself, and the car you drive to work, and the fabric in the scrubs you wear to work.
The Peak Oil doomers were half right. “Cheap” oil ran out!!!! What they didn’t tell you was that “fairly cheap oil” is something like 1000x more abundant, and “cheap” in this context is the difficulty of extraction.
“Peak Oil” was dreamt up before frakking got good. It’s been overcome by events.

Comment by Dave's not here on March 5, 2022 7:50 pm
Disagree. The “cheap” oil is still there, its just priced based on what you’ve been willing to pay in the past & what regulators want to impose as a tax upon it. Saudis haven’t been coming up short, Russians are just discovering, Canadians have plenty, lots under the Gulf of Mexico. Face it. Oil is a natural byproduct of magma, its the lubricant that fuels plate tectonics, not a byproduct of decaying dinosaurs, as we’ve been lead to believe.

I give it 4-6 weeks before even the die hard urban libs turn on Brandon. When door dash drivers start demanding a fuel surcharge for deliveries the shit hits the fan.
I’m definitely open to the idea of abiotic oil formation. That doesn’t exactly make it limitless, but we’re far from out of it, and the CO2 level in the modern atmosphere is barely above that needed to sustain plant life. PUMP IT ALL. BURN IT ALL.
I got the J & J one dose so I could keep my job. No intention of getting the booster. Of all the countries I fly to, Israel is the only country that requires it. Hopefully that will drop off soon.
I’m waiting (probably in vain) for it ALL to drop off.
I was heartened when I saw that NY state dropped the booster requirement for HC workers. But then I realized they are still keeping the requirement for the original vaccine.
UMMM. Hello. Why? For what reason were you requiring the booster? Because the vaccine stops working in 4 months, that’s why. So if you are dropping the booster on vaccinated persons even though they are functionally unvaccinated after 4 months, then why require initial vaccination at all? And why can’t I just give a titer to prove I’m immune already and bypass all of it, most sensibly?
I was going to take J&J too, I thought at one time. The J&J one-dose that has recently been taken off the market because it’s got so many serious adverse effects even the CDC couldn’t hide it.
I need to stop being angry and start counting my blessings and love my life just the way it is.
The airplane I fly does mainly China/Asia. When those open back up I will be interested to see what restrictions are in place.
United has already said anal swab testing upon arrival in China is a non-starter. though some of our more flamboyant flight attendants are lobbying for it.
Roscosmos made a “comic” video about breaking up ISS. I was wrong, I thought it was the European astronaut who had the Soyuz ride, it was Mark Vande Hei.

Yesterday at my Normie-Job I heard an 80-something year old woman read aloud an article about how a cruise line would no longer offer stops in St. Petersberg, and would cost the Russian people there millions of dollars in lost revenue. She was almost gloating about the prospect of the impoverishment of those affected.
Short story. Last night I had a table – a woman wanted a Moscow Mule, but she said she didn’t want to call it that . You know, RUSSIA. I told her and her entire table that the Russian PEOPLE have done nothing wrong, and that the drink isn’t a Putin mule. that the poor Russians are trying to get out of their country if they can.

Carin, the people in your comment sound like idiots.
The CDC reports that no known deaths from Omicron have been reported.
*cough*
The truth is leaking out.
A Swedish study has found that the Pfizer vaccine goes into the liver and is converted into DNA.
Odd that a non-scientist like me, along with all the other conspiracy theorists, thought that would happen.
The CDC said that the mRNA sequence would NOT change into DNA. They called it a myth and you were spreading misinformation.
More, from Lauraw’s link
I would remind you it wasn’t Vladimir Putin who has been conducting a scorched-earth culture war upon our beliefs, history, and identity, and degraded our social fabric to the point we now have to fight against the normalization of transsexualism. It wasn’t the Russians who outsourced our productive capacity while sending us upon one misbegotten war after another and flooding the country with drugs. It wasn’t ‘Ivan’ who caused the biggest wealth transfer in human history with the Covid scandal, fomented riots across the country, or “fortified” the election. Most of the ills I’ve seen metastasize over the course of my life, with increasing speed over recent years, were not the result of some foreign plot, but were born right here. Rattle your sabers against foreigners on the other side of the planet if it makes you feel better, but don’t confuse that with bravery. It just makes you a mark. If you truly wish to show your quality, summon the courage to attack the very real patronage networks who guide our course. Bring your powers to bear against those who shape the opinions and policies by which we live and die.
It’s a great piece.

She probably gets away with it because most people are polite and don’t want to tell her she’s being really intrusive.

Retards need jobs too, Lumps.
But do we really need to give them jobs where they’re in charge?
^ I’m sorry, lord. Feed me to the pygmies…
yeah fracking broke peak oil
LOL. Steampunks. If we could only go back to the 19th century, with it’s clean coal!
Ozzy and Sharon are leaving California to move back to England to avoid high taxes.
Disagree. The “cheap” oil is still there, its just priced based on what you’ve been willing to pay in the past & what regulators want to impose as a tax upon it. Saudis haven’t been coming up short, Russians are just discovering, Canadians have plenty, lots under the Gulf of Mexico. Face it. Oil is a natural byproduct of magma, its the lubricant that fuels plate tectonics, not a byproduct of decaying dinosaurs, as we’ve been lead to believe.
I give it 4-6 weeks before even the die hard urban libs turn on Brandon. When door dash drivers start demanding a fuel surcharge for deliveries the shit hits the fan.
I’m definitely open to the idea of abiotic oil formation. That doesn’t exactly make it limitless, but we’re far from out of it, and the CO2 level in the modern atmosphere is barely above that needed to sustain plant life. PUMP IT ALL. BURN IT ALL.
Just finished the 2nd of 3 check rides in the 787. Have 6 more sims before I’m done.
These 4 am simulators are killing me. Setting the alarm at 2:45 every am makes me feel like I work at a donut shop.

So happy for Deb. Met her briefly in the hotel at the St. Louis meetup hosted by Rosetta. She’s done such tremendous work since then.
I’ve always loved Deb.
I got the J & J one dose so I could keep my job. No intention of getting the booster. Of all the countries I fly to, Israel is the only country that requires it. Hopefully that will drop off soon.
I’m waiting (probably in vain) for it ALL to drop off.
I was heartened when I saw that NY state dropped the booster requirement for HC workers. But then I realized they are still keeping the requirement for the original vaccine.
UMMM. Hello. Why? For what reason were you requiring the booster? Because the vaccine stops working in 4 months, that’s why. So if you are dropping the booster on vaccinated persons even though they are functionally unvaccinated after 4 months, then why require initial vaccination at all? And why can’t I just give a titer to prove I’m immune already and bypass all of it, most sensibly?
*slams head repeatedly on desk*
I was going to take J&J too, I thought at one time. The J&J one-dose that has recently been taken off the market because it’s got so many serious adverse effects even the CDC couldn’t hide it.
I need to stop being angry and start counting my blessings and love my life just the way it is.
Yep.
The airplane I fly does mainly China/Asia. When those open back up I will be interested to see what restrictions are in place.
United has already said anal swab testing upon arrival in China is a non-starter. though some of our more flamboyant flight attendants are lobbying for it.
Ok, that was a joke, I have zero insight on what resumed travel to China will look like,
…pretty sure ass pain will be involved, though.

“Anybody else have trouble with the memes or boobs?”
Nope.
I like boobs.
And the memes are teh funneh.
I’ve become semi addicted to watching tenkara fishing on u tub.
Do any of you Asian anal assaulters have experience with tenkara?
Roscosmos made a “comic” video about breaking up ISS. I was wrong, I thought it was the European astronaut who had the Soyuz ride, it was Mark Vande Hei.
This shit’s not funny.
Video here, if you don’t feel like following the above thread.
