By contrast in Germany , left-wing violence is so widespread that your rent agreement can be torn up if you fail to declare that you are in the AfD meaning you haven't told the owner that the house you are renting is a target for left-wing violence.

I've said it before, but every Service Dog story reminds me of a classic Will Eisner strip. I think it would make a superb graphic novel.

Larry David hosted Saturday Night Live last night. In his opening monologue, he observed that most of the sexual predators in the news were Jews and wondered if he'd been sent to a concentration camp, would he still hit on women there? Naturally, that set the PC klaxons to shrieking:

http://www.nme.com/news/tv/larry-david- ... ue-2156582

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... pener.html



The good news is that the real-time tweets are solidly supportive of David. This looks like manufactroversy collapsing before it can begin.

https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&ver ... ry%20david

The other good thing about the show is this promo that aired during the week. It's a skit where David will not get into an elevator with Miley Cyrus ("I like a private ride"). If Miley had been stinking drunk or sported day-glo hair, I would've fainted from proximity to perfection.

I hope the Skeeve was watching.

Eeps. I hadn't considered NBC would block non-Americans. Thanks for fixing that up.

So it's the Amtsgericht in Göttingen, not "Germany", and he still has at least one appeal- possibly two- to go.

looks like the great antifa uprising was a wet fart.

Wonder if they will play it off... " We were just trolling" ...

In a lot of the pictures I have seen, it is old hippies who are unlikely to be the Antifa super-soldiers were were all looking forward to seeing.

They can get a hundreds to go to a protest in a specific location, but trying to organize a national event was bound to leave them spread thin. I don't think it's clear from all this that they are actually losing support.
Yeah, I don't know if it's any indication of the state of their support. But, it sure stands in stark contrast to the Women's March, an event with similarly spontaneous beginnings.
Come to think of it, their social media activity seems to have been dire yesterday.

I find that transmissions to me have been greatly reduced since I put tinfoil in my shoes. I can still hear some of them, some of the time though. Thinking about getting my fillings taken out.

Transmission??!?! now i'm all triggered! Right now i'm working on a real titty twister of a problem.

Girlfriend 's 2011 Dosge Journey gets an MIL light ( engine light), code reads to be a cylinder 1 misfire code.
Well this turns out this thing has a 3.6 Penestar engine, which means you have to remove the upper intake manifold just to get to the plugs. sigh. It has 92k on the odometer so i figure, might as well give it a full tune up since i have the manifold off. Six plugs, one coil pack,air filter and a much needed oil change later, engine is purring like a kitten. Mil light clears, test drive goes perfect. Job well done.
Next day, about six miles up the turnpike she gets the MIL light again.

fuck

Next morning I put on the OBD2 reader, 1st cylinder misfire...serious diagnosis time. Off comes the intake manifold again,voltage to the coil pack, ck. test light flashes on /off on the negative side of connector, ck.
Power to fuel injector, ck. test light flashes on neg. side of connector,ck. Elec. side seems to be good, OK, mech side.
i can hear injector clicking.
Clogged or partially clogged injector? hmmmm, bleed down the fuel rail, remove the 1,3,5 side rail. remove the injector. rig up a 9v. batt. with some aligator clips and a button to actuate the injector. JB weld the straw from a can of carb cleaner to the business end of a dosage syringe.remove the plunger and shove the injector in. Spray cleaner into syringe while actuating the injector. Do all six since i have it apart. Re assemble the whole mess.
Fire up the engine.... shit.. misfire code.
Go over all the diagnostic tests again.
Maybe i pinched a gasket? vacuum at idle checks out.

Engine seems to run fine when starting cold and in Open loop. short and long term fuel trims are normal.
Once the engine is warmed up and in closed loop, PCM shuts down cly.1... making daignosis more difficult than it should be. could be a bad cat... but that would effect the whole bank, not just cylinder 1
At this point i'm stymied.

I had the same problem with a '92 Chevy Wimble. You need to discombomulate the two rotating nancy springs within each cylinder's McGilligan's bracket. Flush the wimple lines with 80% ethanol/20% Gilbert's squinkle oil, reattach all sprogs using 3/19th inch Chimple nuts, and you should be good to go.

Put in a can of STP ("The Racer's Edge!™), take it out on the highway, crank it to about 85 mph for about 20 minutes in 3rd gear.

If that doesn't do the trick, revert to SOP: ignore all warning lights.

I think there was a recall for that problem that involved Chrysler replacing the cylinder heads.

Service Dog wrote:"Nasty Gal" was an online retailer, with a bunch of you-go-girl hype about the charismatic founder & office culture. Then it gained a reputation as toxic workplace, with multiple women & a man allegedly fired for daring to get pregnant & seek maternity/paternity leave & benefits. The company went bankrupt. Buzzfeed & Jezebel turned on Nasty Gal.

Would you pay for life-advice from this person? Would you identify with the story of her life?

The founder wrote a memior, titled #Girlboss, which became a Netflix teevee series-- panned for faux-feminism & an unsympathetic lead character.

Now there are "Girlboss Rallies", with General Admission $450/ VIP $700, and you-go-girl inspirational business vagina empowerment speakers & panels.

THey... heh... sorry... I"m... They have... excuse me, I'm tearing-up with laughter... They Have Hired Me. To work their rally event.

Link with speaker list & panel titles, such as "Cultivating Confidence in a World That Stomps Daisies"

https://www.girlboss.com/



The thing that's really blowing my mind... is the Netflix series starts with a fictionalized version of the chick's first high-dollar eBay sale, fabricating a story about item she found at cheap at a thrift store... a rare silver leather jacket made by "East-West Musical Instruments Company"-- 1960's San Francisco hippie-rock makers of custom mandolins & ukeleles... who made a few one-of-a-kind leather items, as gifts for people like Grace Slick, Alice Cooper, Meatloaf.

https://www.themarysue.com/wp-content/u ... jacket.jpg

The legend of the jackets wasn't widely known, until a vintage proprietor of a store called Resurrection researched the jackets, compiled a color-photocopy dossier of everything he could find about them, interviewed the hippie who made them... etc. The few surviving jackets he found... he lent for magazine fashion shoots of celebrities, like Julia Roberts... to raise awareness of the brand. Then he sold his jackets for astronomical amounts in LA & Tokyo.


The proprietor left his dossier on the counter of his boutique, one day in the late 90's or early 2000s. I picked it up, absorbed the information...

& thought-back to the day a flash of silver caught my eye, in trash by the curb, on St. Mark's Place... I found a leather jacket & my girlfriend used to wear it. It realized it was a genuine East-West. I sold it to the vintage guy for $900.

The made-up Netflix story is a real event from my real life.


This gig is gonna be high-larious.

He does use magic in The Two Towers, but he uses it against his allies. When Aragorn and company encounter him in the woods, and they think he's Saruman, he blinds them with light and heats their weapons so they're forced to drop them. I would've been like, "WHY THE FUCK HAVEN'T YOU BEEN DOING THAT TO ORCS THIS WHOLE TIME!"

Next morning I put on the OBD2 reader, 1st cylinder misfire...serious diagnosis time. Off comes the intake manifold again,voltage to the coil pack, ck. test light flashes on /off on the negative side of connector, ck.
Power to fuel injector, ck. test light flashes on neg. side of connector,ck. Elec. side seems to be good, OK, mech side.
i can hear injector clicking.
Clogged or partially clogged injector? hmmmm, bleed down the fuel rail, remove the 1,3,5 side rail. remove the injector. rig up a 9v. batt. with some aligator clips and a button to actuate the injector. JB weld the straw from a can of carb cleaner to the business end of a dosage syringe.remove the plunger and shove the injector in. Spray cleaner into syringe while actuating the injector. Do all six since i have it apart. Re assemble the whole mess.
Fire up the engine.... shit.. misfire code.
Go over all the diagnostic tests again.
Maybe i pinched a gasket? vacuum at idle checks out.

Engine seems to run fine when starting cold and in Open loop. short and long term fuel trims are normal.
Once the engine is warmed up and in closed loop, PCM shuts down cly.1... making daignosis more difficult than it should be. could be a bad cat... but that would effect the whole bank, not just cylinder 1
At this point i'm stymied.
Can't you return it to the OEM plant on Proxima Centauri for an overhaul?

It seems we finally know the real reason why UK Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallow was forced to resign. It was not because he touched a female journalist's knee fifteen years ago. It wasn't even because he made a lewd remark to Andrea Leadsom six years ago. It is far worse. It has now emerged that fourteen years ago he had "lunged" at another female journalist and attempted to kiss her on the lips. The scoundrel.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... harassment

Am I alone in thinking that this is still not the real real reason they made him to quit? I mean, it is still pretty tame stuff.

To me, the most surprising thing about this ongoing deluge of accusations against MPs is that nobody has yet come forward with dirt on Boris Johnson. If there is anyone you'd suspect of acting inappropriately it would be the serial liar and current Secretary of State BoJo. I have to be honest, and admit that his fall from grace would give me intense pleasure.

They can get a hundreds to go to a protest in a specific location, but trying to organize a national event was bound to leave them spread thin. I don't think it's clear from all this that they are actually losing support.
Yeah, I don't know if it's any indication of the state of their support. But, it sure stands in stark contrast to the Women's March, an event with similarly spontaneous beginnings.
Speculation: It's probable to me that Antifa protests require a certain critical mass for the members to feel safe in their bullying. When word starts going around that tomorrow's demonstration might be sparsely attended, maybe even just that they expect the numbers to be even with counter-protestors, some of them might drop out and lower the attendance even further.

The way you gather Antifa supporters is you call an Alt-Right rally.

They're not motivated by solidarity with each other, just an opposition to the other side.

So the only thing we need to get rid of them is to make each side believe that the other is gathering in some remote, isolated place, and when they get there, ready to fight, make sure no innocent third party is involved, monitor the area and when they start hitting each other sweep in and arrest them all. /cynicism

Church shooting in Texas. At least 20 shots fired. You know what time it is. Time to play everyone's favorite game....

Will the mainstream media provide details or will they push for gun control?!?!

Depends on if it was a black church with a white shooter, white church with black shooter (story buried shortly) or black church with black shooter...you know, if they were shooting down, shooting up...where do the oppression axis fall?

Clues are starting to trickle in. Looks like most of these worried friends and family members are white.
Here are the county's demographics:
81.19% White, 1.21% Black or African American, 0.58% Native American, 0.30% Asian, 0.04% Pacific Islander, 14.25% from other races, and 2.43% from two or more races. 36.52% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.

Latino isn't considered a race in the US, but an ethnicity. There are white latinos, black latinos, etc.

I was going to suggest locking them in and letting the problem sort itself out, but as I understand it that's how we ended up with Australia.

1. Main Stream Media will provide details after a sufficient amount of time has passed. The speed of which may depend on how forthcoming the local police are. Early details (less than 24 hours old) tend to be shit anyway due to early confusion.
2. The media always pushes for gun control.

Well that is weird. How did they swing that one?

I call bullshit. But I will step back.
According to the Pew Center, 54 percent of Hispanics identify as white, while only 1.5 percent identify as black. A full 40 percent do not identify with any race.
I see I am not alone in my confusion.

Latino is a bullshit ethnicity. All other ethnicities have some kind of geographical root (Asian, African, whatever). A Latino isn't someone from Spain, they are someone from somewhere populated by people who came from Spain before that.

Screwtape,

thank you! Yes Chrysler (FCA)extended the warranty on the 2,4,6 cylinder head to 100k. Unfortunately my issue is with the 1,3,5 head.

Visited Horrible Freight ,i picked up a compression tester and a fuel pressure tester, if only to eliminate any issues there.

everyone else thank you for the in depth technical advice! I may have to re calibrate the Kramden/Norton balancing spindle.

It's OK to be white. Not according to Caine.
Oooh, be proud of your ancestors! Okay, I am. Funny how my pride amounts to “you stupid Indians, shut up! Pipelines are good!” and the like. That’s the problem with white pride, it excludes everyone else. Of course, exclusion is what white colonial pride is all about: “white people masters, everyone else, lay down to be trodden on.” This little campaign is hardly different from all the other shite supremacy, so it’s not a shock, it’s not even a surprise. White people being suuuuuper assholes simply has zero shock value.

Caine is now 100% Injin. I picture the process like those computer graphics in The Thing. Blood cells in feather headdress stretching out tendrils to paleface cells, turning them red, and then the process repeats until you find yourself dangling by the nipples from a totem pole.

The geographic root of latinos is Latin America. So Spanish people are included in the term "hispanic" but not in the term "latino". I have to admit I have no idea what the difference between a race and ethnicity is, though.
