Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

It’s a doggy dog world.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

If West Virginia and San Francisco had a love child.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

    Little shack towns used to grow out on the ice every year, and some weekends 1/4 of the town would be out there instead. There were guys who would fish and other guys who would skid their cars around.

    @ JGC: yeah, your soup looked delicious. And your day sounded great too.
    It was 47 and partly sunny here, so I was able to finish planting all the rest of my daffodil bulbs, plus the remaining squill bulbs I hope naturalize in the lawn. It’s been so cold or rainy I was starting to worry I would never get them in before the ground got too frozen. And it’s raining lightly now, which is perfect.

    When I was a kid it was a snowsuit, worms on a jig, peering down an ice hole and jigging just enough.

    Last winter, I saw a guy in a pop up hut. He was rocking a Honda generator, DVD player and big ass flatscreen. He had a radiant heater, an electric jigger, and a down hole camera + fishfinder, toggled up on an inset box on the big screen.

    Yep.

    $400 seems awfully high for a chromebook.

    It’s 100 bucks off list price and about $70 off the usual Amazon price. Compared to the ridiculously priced Pixelbook, it has a good blend of features for what I’m looking for.

    Also too, does it include an optical drive (for DVDs and such). Many do not.

    Don’t need a DVD drive for a secondary machine. I am not sure that most people need a DVD drive anymore as a primary component.

    What I liked about a past Chromebook I had was that it fired up quickly and did not need the laborious updates that you need for a Windows PC.

    @Major Major Major Major:
    At least that’s what I think. Other times I don’t care what people don’t think of me. I think it has to do with whether I wronged another person or not. If someone acted like a jerk to me, I wouldn’t care what they thought of me. But if I said something that offended them, and I liked them (and they weren’t an asshole), then I’d feel really bad. It’s worse online because what we say can be misinterpreted and you don’t get the same feedback you’d get face-to-face. I also tend to need closure. If I made a mistake, and I apologized, I need the confirmation that all is forgiven. I’ll get over it if I don’t get it, but it will still sting in the meantime. You don’t get that all the time over the intertubes.

    Does that sound about right, based on my comments here?

    Goddamn! I love that little machine. I used to carry around a “dev” laptop (Lenovo T460p) but since I got this puppy, I just use it. Does what it says on the box: decent lappie, tablet, flip mode is a treat at the gym on the recumbent bike. Android apps work fine fine fine (at least the ones I’ve tried). 6-7hr battery life (of the 9 advertised). I don’t bother carrying a charger when I take it around town.

    And $400. Nice! I paid $500 when it came out and am well satisfied.

    Took a look. It’s a solid (if pedestrian in terms of built-in memory) unit. No optical drive, and has only a meager two USB ports.

    Purely personal*, I’m no fan of either touch screens or touchpads, so please do factor that bias into anything I might say.

    *Whatever bizarre oils my fingertips exude eventually, and rather quickly, cause damage. Heck, the most used keys on my PC’s keyboard have the printed letters either partially or fully long gone; touchpad on my old, no longer used laptop has a meteor crater shaped depression in it. Am very careful to always use a stylus when using the tablet.

    @Suzanne:

    Technically, there’s no such thing as a “gluten intolerance.” Most likely she has an issue with one or more FODMAP foods, of which wheat is a very common one.

    Google “monash university fodmap” and you should be able to pull up all of the most current information from the university in Australia that’s doing the top research on IBS and FODMAPs.

    The good news is that being reactive to FODMAP foods is not an allergy, so it’s not life-threatening, but the gas, constipation, and diarrhea that go along with a FODMAP reaction are all uncomfortable and sometimes painful, so it’s worth figuring out what she’s sensitive to.

    @Suzanne: The allergy shots help. You’re not supposed to get them when you’re sick but I’d lie so I could get them anyway because they made me feel so much better. IMO a lot of the times I’m “sick” it’s allergies and that’s probably why it helps.

    @Brachiator:

    I have the 10.1″ Asus Flip as a portable computer and I’m pretty happy with it. I have small hands, so I don’t mind the smaller keyboard. I don’t really use it as a tablet because I have a plastic cover on it that prevents it from folding all the way back. I really just use it for writing text documents in Google Docs and light web surfing, so I don’t need much on-board memory.

    @Fair Economist: I was doing the drops for a while but holy crap are they expensive. Shots were expensive, too. However, I have changed jobs/insurance so perhaps they are now more reasonable.

    @Mnemosyne: Thanks for the info. I like a slightly bigger device, for the keyboard and screen. I also often keep a lot of tabs open while I work, which uses a bit of memory. But I will look at a few more models before making a final decision.

    ETA. Also, I like a backlit keyboard.

    @Chetan Murthy: Ah-ha. (I’m at at the stage where I no longer keep up, let alone pay attention to details.)

    I was on the light rail into the city today, and I saw a girl with a cartoon on her carrier bag: Donald Trump getting smote upside the head by Batman. The Dark Knight’s word balloon: “STOP TWEETING”

    @Amir Khalid:

    I have to disagree. By his tweets shall ye know him. We get to have a direct look into his “thinking.”

    He seems to be getting more unhinged every day. Future historians are going to have a ball. They will try to determine the exact day and time when he totally lost it and everyone around him had to attempt to head off some calamity.

    @Kayla Rudbek: Hilarious! I have to believe that happens more often than we hear about.
