New “proof of vaccination” rules starting soon in the Twin Cities. I don’t do anything that’s on the list so it won’t affect me much, but then I’ve been basically shut-in for the last 20 months.
Diners in Minneapolis and St. Paul will soon have to show proof of COVID vaccination or a recent negative COVID test in order to eat at the cities’ food and drink establishments.
This rule does not apply solely to restaurants. Erik Hansen, director of economic policy and development for the City of Minneapolis, said any establishment that serves food or drink indoors will be subject to the proof of vaccination or negative test mandate.
That includes:
Indoor restaurants
Coffee shops
Cafes
Bars
Sports venues (such as Target Center, Xcel Energy Center)
Theaters
Bowling alleys
Convention centers
Catering hallsOther spaces will be exempt, such as retail or grocery settings, schools, hospitals, congregate care facilities, or public areas not connected to a restaurant or bar but where people happen to be eating or drinking (such as the skyway systems).
The requirements also will not apply to takeout orders.

Well, here in CenTex, we have Lake Buchanan (BUCK-an-un), Manchaca Road (Manchack) and when I lived in New Orleans, there was a street in the French Quarter pronounced Bur-GUN-dy and another spelled Chartres and pronounced Charters. What they did to the nine Muse Street’s pronunciations west of the Quarter intersecting St. Charles Avenue doesn’t bear repeating.
re: #39 austin_blue
Well, here in CenTex, we have Lake Buchanan (Buck-an-un),.
Buchanan County, Virginia is pronounced “buh-Can-on’ almost “buh-cannon”. I was most emphatically corrected by a Buchanan County native about that.
As they say “You’re not from around here, are you?”
Another local county that occasionally gets a giggle is Fauquier County, Va.
In New Orleans Robert E Lee Blvd is pronounced Allen Toussaint.

Some of you may remember COVID SuperSpreader Sean Feucht, who used to be part of the Bethel Redding cult, but has now spun out on his own in southern California.
Yesterday he complained the megapublisher HarperCollins cancelled a book he was supposed to publish with them:

— Dee Holmes (@mmmirele) January 12, 2022
There’s no evidence to suggest that Sean Feucht had a signed contract. I did some searching and no announcement of a new book coming, no indication of a date of publication. I think ole Sean the SuperSpreader is not being quite honest.
— Dee Holmes (@mmmirele) January 12, 2022
And as it turns out, he wasn’t being honest (link goes to Christian Post christianpost.com). It appears from Twitter that there MIGHT have been a memo of understanding or something similar.
And if you didn’t think this guy was bad news, there’s this:
@sunny_in_MN and in today’s Sean Feucht news, he’s all upset that his child is being taught the use of “they” as a gender neutral pronoun. pic.twitter.com/BBiaJmxXvn

(Feucht has me blocked, but apparently he’s unaware of the “incognito” function in Twitter, to say nothing of my backup account that only follows religious fanatics.)
Just to rant for a sec, I’ve used “they” for YEARS to refer to a single person. When I write incident reports, I am not allowed to use names or pronouns that might actually identify the person who may have not followed (for example) the specified reboot sequence after patching. So “they” it is. I have got to stop rolling my eyes, they’re eventually going to get stuck in the “up” position.

And that Guada-loop pronunciation isn’t limited to Arizona. The main drag in front of the west entrance to UT Austin is Guadalupe St., also often pronounced Guada-loop, but also pronounced as in Mexican Spanish.

I’ve mentioned this before but years ago, I abandoned the use of “he/him” or the awkward “he or she” when speaking of a generic person (and not a specific individual). For example, I will say “when a doctor examines a patient, they should ….” Yes, in many cases, a sentence could be restructured to use plurals instead and avoid the issue entirely, but I don’t care what generations of English teachers have taught us, the traditional rules are sexist.

Consider Chantix. It worked exquisitely for me where the patch/gum/etc never did.

I’ve told this story before, but my mom did Chantix at the beginning of 2018 (or was it 2019?). She was doing super well on it, her smoking was going down, but then a tipping point (that’s the best way I can describe it) was reached and she had to stop the Chantix because it was aggravating her pre-existing serious mental health issues.
MXFXazczRlVleXVxSWc5S1l3U0NScHpHUElKVGg4WDExa1lqOFNYVTRWeHdKMkd6RzdNVlN1Z056Zk9QOFFCbTo6MetP4qrCZ0/nvlAbQi9ktA==
So she went off the Chantix and to say I was disappointed would have been an understatement. But Mom found something within herself, and she told my brother to go down to the CVS and get patches. She was going to quit. So she got herself weaned off cigarettes, but not before she smoked every single cigarette in the house down to the filter. But she quit.
That said, she still tells my brother occasionally that she craves cigs. And yeah, I completely get it (says the woman who can’t quite quit the Diet Coke). But in this pandemic season, at least we don’t have to worry about Mom smoking.

My opinion since its worked for me on several occasions.
I quit drinking (I’m alcoholic) in 93’. I quit smoking several months afterward because I was bottomed out there as well.
My way was to cold turkey it. I did the 1st 3 day at the same time, then day at a time after that.
A few prayers to remind myself I wasn’t in charge.
Coffee stir sticks for the oral obsession. This is a major deal here. always keep something available for your hands and mouth.
When I felt the pang of want, I got busy and then realized that desire had gone away replaces by the task at hand.
And then the desire went away. not all at once, but is subsided and eventually left. Wash everything including the walls (Diluted TSP). I became grateful I didn’t stink of tobacco smoke anymore and started to avoid those places that did….
It worked for me.
The patches keep you addicted and the addiction is kicker that needs to be dealt with more than the fixation.
Good luck. Grab it by the throat and kick it in the balls. Keep kicking until it lets go of you.

With what leverage? Here in VA, governors cannot serve consecutive terms, so the traditional leverage of threatening not to support an incumbent governor for reelection or to sponsor a challenger for the nomination mean little. Which is why they generally feel little pressure to listen to the voters, as McDonnell showed when he kept doggedly pursuing abortion restrictions despite them being wildly unpopular.

I’d rather we field candidates who have the broadest appeal, rather than just grabbing whoever’s the least offensive and then depending upon brand loyalty.

My closest Safeway is a fairly small one and it not infrequently has empty shelves. This is not new. It was true before the pandemic. I think they stock it last, if they have anything extra from the larger stores.
They also rearranged it recently and upped the amounts of convenience and frozen foods while cutting back on actual ingredients. Sigh.
Personally, I remember reading about and seeing the local Wal-Mart with bare shelves before the pandemic, though in those days it was mostly presented as a sign that the company was squeezing every last cent out of their workforce by cutting numbers to bare bones and then trying to use automation to cover the gap. Hence the long line of registers that only ever have perhaps 2-3 open at any given hour because they’re bracketed at both ends by self-checkout areas.
re: #168 Belafon
That was the previous governor, who cannot run in consecutive elections. The biggest charge against McAuliffe is that he didn’t have a good answer to parents being able to review what their kids are learning. But it was mostly Democratic voters doing the lazy thing again.
Let’s not forget that Virginia was the home of the Confederacy and it’s still infested with white supremacists who were supportive of the neo-Nazis in Charlottesville. If Democrats fail to come out to vote once, they may discover that they will soon no longer be able to vote thanks to GOP voter suppression throughout the state.
Even the “good” Republicans, Cheney and Kinzinger, voted against voting rights. Remember that they are good with stealing elections as long as its done by suppressing the votes of minorities rather than by illegal postelection coups.

re: #176 No Malarkey!
It doesn’t. Saving American democracy depends on making the majority understand its in peril and giving a shit about it. That is a hard enough job as it is. I’m just hoping the upcoming reversal of Roe v. Wade wakes enough voters to prevent the GOP from taking complete control of Congress, because apparently their psychopathic push to get their own voters to commit suicide still isn’t enough.
They still blame immigrants from south of the border for spreading COVID, not the unvaccinated among us. Every one of them would have been Sieg Heiling Hitler in the 1930’s, at least at the beginning of his reign.
I would almost be okay with losing BBB so long as we get the voting rights bills passed.

SCOTUS issues only one opinion. No ruling on the mandates as they enter into effect.
The longer they take their time, the harder it’ll be for companies to go revert to pre-mandate.
SCOTUS releases just one opinion today: an 8-1 decision on an arcane question of pension payments for “dual-status military technicians.” The court rules in favor of the government’s statutory interpretation and against the technicians. Barrett has the opinion; Gorsuch dissents.

And why is it that the Capitol wasn’t protected enough and so easy to break into. And other ridiculous bullshit. He was supposed to talk about why he won’t cooperate with the 1/6 committee, because it’s not needed or necessary, while he uses the rest of his time to lie.
Also too, the RNC is not allowing any of their Presidential candidates to participate in debates.
Here is the most pathetic thing about Kevin McCarthy: he will never ever be obsequious enough to earn Trump’s love. Once the GOP re-takes the House Trump will install someone who never once blamed him for January 6 as Speaker.

The thing with the kosher bodega though is that it has always had random shortage of random products and this has been going on for years. Z says that if he buys a snack that he likes there is a 100% chance that it will no longer be stocked at that store.

my grocery stores have some empty shelves, but it’s clearly logistics related rather than some massive panic wave of buying. I mean, my Ingles has got one entire shelf of cat food wiped out. There’s still cat food available, it’s just whatever truck is carrying that particular shelf of food is somewhere else. Has been for a couple of weeks at least. But hey, I go to Publix, and there’s all the cat food I could want.
just came back from local publix 1 of 3 we frequent
most everything is at least partially stocked
some shelves it’s clear that stock is moved to the front and the backs arent full
gatorade sections has been empty for 2 months
publix pasta had a sale so it’s all gone - the other pasta brands are all there
the rest of the store i’d say sporadic specific outages - not whole brands.
ie lots of bob’s red mill, but only 1 bag of steel cut oats, which i snagged

That trick doesn’t fully bypass the filibuster, as far as I can understand it. Both houses have to pass some version of the bill, and then final passage of the reconciled bill can bypass the filibuster if they go back and forth enough times. I think that’s my understanding.

If I understand correctly, the parliamentary trick (“messages between the houses”) is to overcome the filibuster on even bringing the bill to the floor for debate.
Actually passing the thing will require a whole separate carve-out of the filibuster at the very least.
And I wish anyone in the top-shelf media was even mentioning that li’l fact.

As I understand it they would take a bill that is completely unrelated that has already passed both houses and had some negotiation back and forth. The House dems would just remove the language of the existing bill and insert the language of the voting rights act and pass it back to the senate. That would allow the senate to open debate which is one step further than they currently are, but the republicans could still filibuster closing the debate and going to a vote.

But look at how failure to pass BBB went. Look at the reaction to bills that did, in fact, go to a vote and were shot down.

Queen Elizabeth II just (royally) pimp-slapped Prince Andrew:
Prince Andrew was today stripped of his military titles and royal patronages by the Queen, who said he will have to face his sexual assault lawsuit as a ‘private citizen’.
The Duke of York will also be banned from using the styling ‘HRH’ in any capacity, according to a royal source, signalling his mother’s attempt to distance the Royal Family from the ninth in line to the throne as he faces a humiliating trial in the US.
The move to shred Andrew’s ties with the military is likely to be particularly painful for the Royal Navy veteran, who served with distinction as a helicopter pilot during the Falklands War.
It comes after a day after a US judge unequivocally rejected the prince’s bid to have his sex abuse case thrown out, leaving him facing the prospect of being cross-examined for seven hours on camera with embarrassing questions on everything from his sex life and ‘private parts’.

If you want an even more challenging version, try Absurdle. Instead of starting with a fixed word, it changes the target word each time you make a guess, using whatever’s left in its dictionary that doesn’t use letters you’ve already guessed. The goal is to winnow down its remaining options until you back it into a corner where only one word still fits.
Best I’ve done on it so far is an occasional 6 (you get unlimited guesses, and worst I’ve done so far is 11.)

Wise County GOP Censures Gov. Greg Abbott Over Pandemic Orders, Lack of Legislative Vaccine Mandate Ban
These are their complaints:
Abbott’s refusal to call another special legislative session to legislatively ban vaccine mandates
The lack of a ban on chemical castration and gender-changing surgeries on the special session calls
“Fail[ure] to adequately protect the southern border of Texas from foreign invasion”
The “extremism training” for Texas’ military forces mandated by the federal government
“Creating law via executive order”
His role in closing beaches and localities closing churches
Enrolling the state in a $295 million contact tracing program
Mask mandates, limitations of gatherings, business closures, and essential versus nonessential designations

Now it’s called Cobb Parkway, at least the part in Cobb County. Marietta is pronounced Mary-Etta now, on the news, most of the folks around here pronounce it that way. Even the family who owned the land around and including my house at one time, back to before the civil war pronounced it that way. I think I’ve only heard it pronounced May-retta once in the 30 yrs I’ve lived in GA. That was a teacher of my son’s who came here from Macon to teach.

I have a 4, a 5, and a 6. The 6 was because I wasted two guesses with letters that I already knew were in the wrong positions.
Thermometer found. Temperature is 97.9, which is above my usual temperature of 96.5. So I am going to assume for the moment that I’m sick and contagious. My brother is bringing me a bag of fresh oranges just picked off the tree. I was going to stop by there and get them myself after work today, but I am now isolating myself. He will also tell our mother that “something came up” and I’m not coming over this evening. Blergh.

Wise County is the howling wilderness just west of Denton County. The latter is the home of a couple of notoriously liberal educational institutions, the University of North Texas (well known music school and therefore overrun with weirdos), and Texas Woman’s University, a whole college full of women who are not there to find husbands, and therefore highly suspect. The Wise Countyians are traditionally a paranoid lot, lest hippies and communists come pouring over from Denton to pollute their bodily essences and corrupt their youth.

I suspect this is due to Virginia Giuffre getting a ruling allowing her New York State civil suit against Andrew to proceed. Oh, and she does not want money, she wants more.
I also noticed that Kyrsten Sinema is against filibuster reform, so I called her office in DC and left a message telling her to support filibuster reform, Build Back Better and ungutting the Voting Rights Act, rounding it out with ‘She needs to get her act together!’ Tired of her.

Dumbass has been chasing his fate for a long time.
“First” they came for the Oath Keepers… and I was like… about damned fucking time these insurrectionist domestic terrorists were charged and arrested for their role in 1/6.
I’d have to check the indictments to see who else they communicated with inside Trumpworld or who might be identified as someone in Trumpworld who they conspired with… and I’m thinking that Roger Stone is probably in the hot seat once again.

That’s great news. It’s clear now that the DOJ’s strategy has been to give the rank and file a bit of a scare, with plea bargains and light sentencing, to get information to roll up on the guys at the top with the big heavy charges. Shit’s getting real now, yo.

Stewart Rhodes:
“All of the people that are being unlawfully detained or denied bail, they’re being abandoned by Trump. He’s done nothing for them. You know, he could donate money, he hasn’t even done that. He didn’t pardon anybody while he was still in office, and then when he left, he hasn’t raised money,” Rhodes said. “… I think he has abandoned his base, because he has abandoned the people who were there to protect his other supporters. So yes, I do feel abandoned by him.”
