Sigh. Get a reservation for 10 rooms for the Kwik Trip that’s opening in a couple of days. Get all 10 set up, keys made, etc. Filled us up - turned away 4 guests looking for rooms.
Now just minutes before the deadline, they cancelled all 10 rooms.
Head meet desk 10 times please…
Even though our hotel explicitly states not just in any contracts with our sales dept but on all the third-party sites that our cancellation policy is 24 hrs notice to avoid paying a penalty, I still get people who will call in the middle of the night to cancel a reservation and ask if I’ll waive the penalty. HAHAHAHA!!!

The ones I like are the no-shows that our policy is to charge one full nights rent. They don’t show up, I charge them out (usually works though we have some CC’s that fail) and then about a week later or so when they realize the CC got charged they’re screaming at the GM. Too bad, so sad.

I remember a documentary about them probably about ten years ago, and when they went back to their original performing places, they had to do it when the club was closed because their old fans resented them for going corporate.

Green Day was punk? Actually, in retrospect, punk wasn’t really punk. So much of it was just stereotyped teenage angst put to a three chord melody and played at double speed.

Apparently it’s a somewhat common thing here for our GM to get calls from third-parties like Expedia or Booking that “one of our mutual guests” is disputing a charge and insists they never stayed at our hotel, so she has to go through the process of sending them not only a picture of the ID card we scanned but also the digital signature we require at check-in.

It’s the life cycle of music acts in America: Start out playing small-time venues to tiny crowds, finally start getting notice when you play as the warm-up act for some rising star band that finally “made it,” get all sorts of praise for finally getting mainstream attention..and then have all your old fans sit around bitching that they don’t like anything before you signed your contract because you “sold out.”

Or take the jam band route. Find a fun sound you’re comfortable playing around with for decades, put out an album here and there, learn about 500 covers, and play about 100 shows a year. If you’re good, you can make a million dollars. You have to be able to play a mean Johnny B. Goode.

In the mid to late 90s I listened to *so* much punk. I was in punk bands playing guitar. I even had a mohawk for a time. The Descendants, NOFX, The Exploited, Bad Religion, 7 Seconds, RKL, Dead Kennedys, Dead Milkmen, Pennywise, Bad Brains, Lagwagon, The Offspring, Sick Of It All, Blink-182 (the *really* early stuff), Voodoo Glow Skulls (now we’re getting into ska), Guttermouth. Just off the top of my head the punk I listened to at the time once upon a time.

The only thing people will care about is if govt shuts down, they’ll see that Democrats control: House, Senate, and WH.
That’s it. That’s the fucking point. The GOP - a minority party - will sabotage the government, because some idiotic archaic parliamentary procedure allows the minority to stop Senate business.
And they’ll be able to smear the Democrats going into the midterms, which is the strategy they’re doing because they don’t have any actual affirmative policies to run on.
They’re out there trying to kill as many people as possible with their covid spread policies - maximizing the body count and doing as much harm to the economy as they can - all to harm Biden.

…there shouldn’t be much of a mystery.
First, the Republican Party pretty much unanimously opposes any efforts to deal with national problems. They exist only to cut taxes for the rich and appoint reactionary judges who will look after the interests of the 1%, approve voter suppression, and deny fundamental rights to all marginalized people.
Unlike Democrats, who take government seriously and supported debt limit increases under Trump, Republicans are apparently deeply invested in various disaster capitalism stocks and would rather have an economic catastrophe than support
Second, a very small number of Democrats are into performative moderation, which is treated as a very serious thing by MSM because they use nice little catch phrases like “hit the pause button” and “bipartisan.” The rest of the Democratic party seems to realize we have big problems that require big solutions.
Third, MSM bothsiderism have given Republicans a pass on acting like a responsible governing party — leaving pretty much all the work of governing to Democrats.

Members of Congress have begun to say explicitly in the last couple days what I think has been clear for weeks and months. Kyrsten Sinema’s multiple trips to the White House yesterday just confirms it. She’s not negotiating about any of this in good faith.
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) emerged from her White House meeting yesterday without telling Biden what exactly she objects to in the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill for infrastructure, only that she still objects to it, according to Politico.
She reportedly won’t give specifics until after the bipartisan infrastructure bill has been passed.
Thanks to Natasha Sinema no bill will pass and the infrastructure will continue to crumble.

South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg (R) — who is facing an impeachment inquiry — said “he is reviewing concerns from state lawmakers over a meeting Gov. Kristi Noem (R) held last year that included both her daughter and a state employee who was overseeing her daughter’s application to become a certified real estate appraiser,” the Sioux Falls Argus Leader reports.
I will be suitably impressed if last year you had the South dakota manslaughtering Attorney General, the COVID-promoting Governor, the Governor’s slow witted daughter, and a real-estate test examiner on your bingo card.

Once again, no major religious group opposes vaccinations, not even the covid vaccination.
People are using “religious” exemptions as a way to say that they don’t believe that they should get vaccinated, which is a different thing.
It’s also wrong. There shouldn’t be religious exemptions for vaccinations. There should only be a medical exemption, which is how states like WV handle it.

my sincerely held religious belief is that you shouldn’t be vaccinated.

‘Consensus’ Among House GOPers Is To Let Both Bipartisan Bill And Reconciliation Fail, GOP Rep. Says
Rep. Peter Meijer (R-MI) told the New York Times that after speaking to his fellow House Republicans, a majority of his conference would prefer to kill both the reconciliation bill and bipartisan legislation because “President Biden saddling infrastructure with this $3.5 trillion albatross around its neck was a poison pill for those of us who wanted a bipartisan solution.”

WASHINGTON, Sept 29 (Reuters) - YouTube will block all anti-vaccine content, moving beyond COVID-19 to include content that alleges vaccines cause chronic health effects or contains misinformation on the substances in vaccines, it said in a blog post on Wednesday.
The online video company owned by Alphabet Inc (GOOGL.O) is also banning prominent anti-vaccine activists, taking down several channels, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing YouTube’s Vice President Of Global Trust and Safety Matt Halprin. These include Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Joseph Mercola, who have long been high-profile figures in the anti-vaccine movement.
The move comes as YouTube and other tech giants like Facebook Inc. (FB.O)and TwitterInc. (TWTR.N)have been criticized for not doing enough to stop the spread of false health information on their sites.
Even as YouTube takes a tougher stance on misinformation, it faces backlash around the world. On Tuesday, Russian state-backed broadcaster RT’s German-language channels were deleted from YouTube, as the company said the channels had breached its COVID-19 misinformation policy.
Russia on Wednesday called the move “unprecedented information aggression,” and threatened to block YouTube.

Many of our politicians have to because of 1) dipshit ‘moderates’ who haven’t learned the lessons of 2010 where actively bucking your party in an attempt to play to your constituency is the ass-backwards way to ensure you get caught in the undertow you helped cause, and 2) the media still treats Republicans as the default for governance and ‘American’-ness in general and forces Dems to justify their very existence against the GOP, who are treated as deserving to rule just by divine right, which is the root cause for the former point in many ways.

Sort of in a nutshell of why I got out of being a fraternity volunteer.
Acting responsible and voluntarily restraining oneself takes maturity. Taking a long view on things takes maturity. Looking at how a potential action might impact others and giving that impact serious consideration takes maturity.
And with groups it takes collective self-discipline and a willingness to police their own excesses. Otherwise, those who choose to constantly misbehave and abuse the rules get away with flaunting the conventions and the social contract. Others look at this and say “Well, why can’t I simply act how I want since there is no punishment for doing so?” And still others avoid leadership positions since they do not want the stress of trying to ride herd on a bunch of yahoos.*
The GOP has embraced their barn-burners and fire eaters. They get rewarded with constant media attention, sponsorships and donations, and treated as minor celebrities. The adults in the room will just get blamed.
* - Plus the fact that if there is an incident the people in the leadership slots are those who get hauled off to jail and/or directly hit by the legal repercussions that will follow.

The failed former President has made the same claim as this racist Missouri blogger did.
As noted already Dr. Shiva was not commissioned to look at signatures. Chain of custody was also not part of his audit. These are huge issues. Why were they excluded from the audit?
We know currently in Georgia the state is missing chain of custody documents on 350,000 ballots making them invalid per the law. We have no idea in Maricopa County how many of the 1.9 million EVB’s have chain of custody documentation. We have no information that any of the EVB ballots have chain of custody documentation.
When adding in the number of ballots missing chain of custody documentation in the County the number of invalid ballots likely increases into the 100,000’s much like Georgia.

And presumably outside of laboratory conditions the surface gets some dust or other non-really-really-white particulate on it and the effect drops off considerably.
That it will help with desert or other hot conditions and thus make it *easier* to cool buildings I will accept. That it will *eliminate* the need for air conditioning is something I really doubt. In part due to the fact that A/C and such does quite a bit more than simply reduce air temperature in a building.

Reading a China-related newsletter this morning, I have learned that China’s drive to reduce reliance on coal has collided with the rebound demand for Chinese goods which in turn has led to the need to ration power in 20 of China’s provinces.

And all this came immediately to my mind since the apartments here all have white siding. And much of this siding, especially on the north side of the buildings, has slowly accumulated a coat of dirt and algae. Which can be power-washed or otherwise cleaned off, but shows that outside surfaces over time are going to erode or accumulate materials since that is what the natural processes do.

It’s a balance between efficient heating (dark exterior materials to absorb sunlight, clear windows to pass light through) and efficient cooling (light exterior materials to reflect sunlight, darkly tinted and reflective windows to minimize incoming light). It all depends on which one costs more. Around here, heating is generally cheap and air conditioning is fairly expensive, and there’s more of a need for warmth due to the length of our winter and the bitter cold. So we benefit more from dark rooftops, clear windows, and less reflective building materials.

I am nearly speechless. This is a true OMGWTFBBQ. Just imagine this shiz going on at Christian “schools” across the country. So much wrong here.
Every week students would be randomly selected to be “Jews” they would be forced to wear yellow stars of David on their uniforms. These students could not sit with other students that werent “Jews” and we’re treated differently by staff and students. 2/?

sorryantivaxxer.com posts another victim—and it’s…you guessed it…another Pulpit Pimp!
Devorah Sklar, 60, Santa Maria, CA, Maurice Sklar Ministries, anti-vaxxer, dead from COVID.
She and her husband are pals with ol HUCK SINN HIMSELF!
According to social media posts written by Gov Mike Huckabee, Devorah Sklar has died of COVID. Devorah and her husband Maurice Sklar ran Maurice Sklar Ministries founded by Maurice Sklar which has about 10,000 followers online. Maurice is a Messianic Jew who frequently channels God. Devorah was as active an anti-vaxxer as you’ll see on this site.
Another religious leader added to my list of dead anti-vaxxers. I’m surprised its only seven so far, six from sorryantivaxxer.com. One is from a church in Lexington, KY, who didn’t really post anti-vaxx messages I know of, but did tell his congregation not to worry about Covid because God is in control.

An even better one, much better in fact. Note “fair use satire.”

Oh, sorry I forgot the attribution. This is by an sorryantivaxxer poster calling himself Eric Blair. It is the kind of thing I do once in a while but this is much better, especially getting Garrison’s actual face into it.

Yes, the people who are most vulnerable take it much more seriously than the contrarian imbeciles who endanger them and themselves.

re: #205 Dopamine Fish
It’s a balance between efficient heating (dark exterior materials to absorb sunlight, clear windows to pass light through) and efficient cooling (light exterior materials to reflect sunlight, darkly tinted and reflective windows to minimize incoming light). It all depends on which one costs more. Around here, heating is generally cheap and air conditioning is fairly expensive, and there’s more of a need for warmth due to the length of our winter and the bitter cold. So we benefit more from dark rooftops, clear windows, and less reflective building materials.
Or you have some method for adjusting the surface as the seasons change. For me when living in western PA I had a roughly southern facing mostly brick wall on one side of my house. Only one small window high up. (So the window is not much of a factor.)
What I did was hang some fencing down the wall that was attached to some bolts placed into the mortar. The fencing hung 2-4” off the wall and thus had an air gap behind them. And at the bottom I had a couple of flower beds. Lilies as ground cover and then planted a pile of morning glory seeds behind them. These grew up the wall during the spring and summer and eventually died back down once the weather got colder. Anecdotal evidence that it did help with cooling the house in the summer while allowing sun to help heat that wall in the winter.
Oh, I do have a picture of it from the first year showing two pieces of the fencing up. There were eventually four or five.
