I'm not showing you that to brag, but maybe just a little gloating wouldn't kill me. Truth is, I honest to god can't understand why anyone lives in places where it so friggin' cold all winter. I was talking to a buddy of mine lives in the Upper Peninsula part of Michigan yesterday afternoon, and he said the outside temp there was about -5 below - without the wind chill. Just hearing that made my nuts shrivel. I just don't get it. Granted, I don't have kids and grandkids who need me, so, aside from that, what's the attraction?

A newly introduced bill in the New Jersey Senate would require law enforcement officers to reveal their faces and provide clear identification during most public interactions, a move sponsors say is intended to rebuild public trust and "prevent crimes committed by police impersonators." Ain't that a crock o'shit...
Senate Bill 4976, introduced Thursday by Senators Benjie E. Wimberly (D-Bergen, Passaic) and Andrew Zwicker (D-Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Somerset), establishes what is titled the “Law Enforcement Officer Protection Act.” Gimme a fuckin; break. What do Dimorats think they'd accomplish through inane bullshit like this?

Our Brit buddies are finally starting to wise up about all the stupid shit the liberal Labor Party has been doing for the last ten or so years. Farage will most definitely be their next PM. We'll see how Trump-like he can be...

Several provinces in the country halted imports of US booze and removed it from store shelves in March in response to President Donald Trump's tariffs. Now, at least four provinces are planning to sell the remaining inventory and donate proceeds to food banks.
Manitoba said it will sell its inventory through private retailers and restaurants, with the estimated $500,000 in net revenue going to food banks, holiday charities, children's organizations, and an advocacy group for First Nations. As for Nova Scotia, the province is making a $4 million upfront payment to groups that provide food access, and the money will be recouped when the $14 million worth of liquor is eventually sold.
This is do-goodie nonsense. They're still selling the shit they stopped selling in protest, so what the fuck do they gain besides some bullshit bragging rights?
For the record, Liquor store ownership in Canada is a mix of provincial government monopolies (like Ontario's LCBO, Quebec's SAQ) and private ownership, with Alberta being the only province with a fully privatized retail system. Other provinces like British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Nova Scotia use hybrid models, featuring government-run stores alongside private operators, grocery stores, or agencies, all regulated by provincial boards. Sounds kinda Commie-lite to me...

So much for cutting cords and cutting your costs. With recent price increases by Disney+ and Netflix, the average American household is spending about $70 a month on streaming services.And it’s only going to get worse. That's why having Amazon Prime is such a big deal for us. I pretty much only watch TV to fall asleep to, but Babs watches quite a bit. We have Prime anyway, and Samsung TV and TheTVApp add to our lineup, so who needs all that streaming bullshit? If you don't have Prime for your TV viewing, I say check it out, at least.
The cost of an Amazon Prime membership differs depending on how you want to pay. Since February 2022, it costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year, so with the annual rate, you save $40.

ReplyDelete... They are hoping to dox the cops and get them harassed or worse.
Regarding your comment about living in a cold environment.....I'm from Wisconsin and now live near grandchildren in Texas. Yeah Texas is great because of the lack of income tax but MAN THE SUMMER HEAT AND HUMIDITY!!!! Yeah, I hate it here. If my wife would say that we were moving back to Wisconsin tomorrow; I would be sleeping the truck tonight.
ReplyDeleteThere are other things also about Texas that are irritating. They have no sense of humor. The self-deprecating Wisconsin style of humor is lost on them. They have no ability to see that it's really a Germanic/Scandinavian way of self-censuring and keeping yourself humble. To Texans way of thinking you are p***ing on them. That lack of self-awareness is a reflection on their poor self-image. Man, those Texans are so verbose about how great Texas is; yet they have hollowed out small towns that no one has the gumption to fix up. And their roads; don't get me started on that topic.
Oh well, I guess the wifely unit is happy and warm; even though I hate it here.
Texans seem to think that the fact that no one bothered to divide up the place into four or five normal sized states that they are somehow bigger. Wrong, the fact that you have a surplus of worthless real estate either bone dry or swampily humid is not a selling point and neither is shortage of state lines.
DeleteThe Texas flag can fly at the same height as the US flag. No one else can. We were a Country. Some reading is in order
DeleteWal Mart is a half hour drive. I've had Prime for years and it's worth it just for the shipping. Free kindle books, movies and music are just bonuses.
ReplyDeleteAs to whether or not we northerners like the cold, you've got it backwards. It's that we can't stand the heat.
ReplyDeleteIf I am not mistaken, besides the $139 annual Amazon Prime fee, you now also have to pay a monthly fee to watch commercial free. And that's why I no longer watch prime.
ReplyDeleteEach commercial I watch lowers my IQ level, I can't afford to do that or I'll turn into a democrat.
Prime still ships for free, which is why I started.
ReplyDelete-40 keeps the riffraff out. I can't see my neighbors, can just barely hear them & firewood warms you 5 times. Like Malatrope said, can't stand the heat. I've lived in FL, SC, TX, NV & CA and did several trips to the sandbox back in the 90's. Anything over 60 is too hot.
ReplyDelete"No power on earth..."
ReplyDeleteI, sure as shootin', didn't consent to Congress taking ~50% of the money I'm supposed receive on my paycheck only to wind up either in their pockets or supporting some "unfortunate" Somali family
I view new shows/movies for free streaming on a extra laptop,cost.....,electricity.
ReplyDelete"You'll hopefully forgive me for not understanding what the Left's obsession with all of this Epstein shit is about."
ReplyDeleteI'm less understanding about what the right's obsession is with all this Epstein shit. The left has spun up the right to want all records released NOW, charges filed NOW, all guilty verdicts NOW, WE SAID EVERYTHING RELEASED NOW! And fair weather republicans repeatedly get led right into the circular firing squads. This shit takes time to tear down the walls of obfuscation, to investigate and to get charges that will actually stick. Makes me sick to watch it.
I live about 50 miles south of you in Hernando County. Weather is about the same.
