The Gilpin County ballot count might be delayed. Clerk's house is being guarded by four Moose. Ah, Colorado.
That's great. Gilpin IS showing as "post-election reporting in progess," with the last update on on 11/8 at 10:26 pm.
They have SOME flexibility. SoS office put out a press release a few days ago reminding people "December 5 – Deadline for the Secretary of State’s Office to compile results and for the Secretary of State to certify the election, or to order mandatory recounts as appropriate."
Gilpin is small enough that the final count should be simple. The moose were standing, so hopefully they move on.
Probably the moose were there just to cure their ballots. Or maybe the Clerk had some extra tasty garden leftovers.
They are Bull Moose Republicans!
What could go wrong with this idea?
Foolish humans think they understand and can control the natural world.

A better idea would be to attach solid rocket boosters to each windmill and set them off at the same time. By increasing the rotational speed of the earth the sun would have less time to heat the surface.
Thank you, I’m accepting nominations for the Nobel Prize for Kookiest stupid human idea.

Next time post a link with everything following and including the ? mark deleted.

What national holiday is it today?
You might want to take it to heart: World Vasectomy Day.
I don't know if you can accept nominations for something you would be in contention for, and possibly win.
Neal Stephenson wrote a book about this idea: Termination Shock.
The sunscreen trick may be the only card we can play politically. But I favor a huge shift in farm policy to grow perennials that restore carbon to the soil on land now irrigated by the dying aquifers. The Farm Lobby will buy it if the checks are big enough. Save our soil, save our climate.
Since you object to uncontrolled experiments, maybe we should quit the one we're running now. You know, the one where we double atmospheric CO2 just to see what happens.

I got my red cup yesterday. Little did I know, it gave me a 10-cent discount on each fillup. Will my good fortune never cease?

Thank you, climate KOOKS.
Did you read the article? They place the blame mostly on COVID shutdowns; we didn't use as much power over the last two years, so extraction and generation were both scaled back, and it takes time and planning to restart. The rebound is straining the system just like every other supply chain stress.
Pear is just demonstrating his case of chronic dingbat-itis.
PP, Maybe you should read the article. It's pretty clearly a product of unfettered capitalism.
Alas, the Pear is a fetters only guy when it comes to subsidies for business.

I thought Biden called Saudi a pariah. Joe, the bone saw activist.
I’ve made it a rule not to reply to you (because you’re a despicable troll). But making an exception here – this is awful. How can we hold ourselves out as an ideal to the world when we do this?
I mean, it's not like the article didn't spell out the reasoning with the majority of its words. We don't prosecute national leaders, just like we don't assassinate them.
Maybe because politicians say things they don’t believe just to get your vote so they can do whatever the hell they want.
How did that work out for you when you ran for Congress, Roger?
Roger? Hmmmm
OMG. He's that Roger?!
Yep. Roger the Fartful Dodger in the flesh.
Stay upwind, my friends.
a; Biden has said he is SCRUPULOUSLY hands off when it comes to legal matters. Until there is some indication that Biden broke his practice, any flak on this goes to DoJ (and in this case, the State Dept. legal team) for making the call, not Biden.
b. Precedent is clear — we do not use US courts to go after other nation’s heads of state … if we did, there would be a LONG list of suits against against any number of heads of state. Virtually anyone claiming asylum for having a “well-founded fear of persecution” could add on a civil suit saying the head of state was the decision maker for the policies that forced them out.
c. And for what it is worth, we use that stance to say that foreign courts have no jurisdiction over OUR head of state, so there is no meaningful court action charging our President or Congressional leaders, and if that were to change, there would be LOONNNNGGGGGGGGG lines of people claiming compensation from the US leaders.
There should be limits. Maybe this isn't one but still, it feels awful.
Twitter is Going Where no Software Company has Gone Before
Plenty of software companies have ground themselves to dust. Musk is just showing his talent for efficiency.
I know lots of software companies where their product slowly became obsolete. Others where a new version sucked and they never recovered from that.
But can you name one where they eliminated the teams needed to keep it running, much less add functionality? One that had a giant installed base?
But is it boldly going where no software company has gone before?
How to easily become a billionaire… h/t Joey Politano
1 – Create your own cryptocurrency
2 – Issue 1 billion coins to yourself
3 – Trade one coin to a sockpuppet account fro $1
Mark-to-market… you are now a billionaire.
I guess Elmo Mush is showing us a reverse underwear gnomes business plan.
BREAKING NEWS
Adam Frisch has conceded in CD3. Boebert claims victory.
https://www.9news.com/article/news/politics/elections/adam-frisch-update-lauren-boebert-colorado-house-race/73-b7323b9c-8e4c-4b10-beaf-4a5d31434931
Superb effort by Frisch. Bobo gets credit as well for turning what could have been a comfortable GOP win into a 550-vote nailbiter that took 10 days to decide.
And filed paperwork to run again in two years.
Good! Maybe "the pundits" won't be so quick to write CD3 off next time around. Letting people know there is chance to unchain themselves from the Unhingled One will encourage better turn out. (being a Presidential year will help with that too)
In the meantime, let us remember which party she represents. I don't know a single Democrat who is embarrassed by her. She will, over the course of the next session, do nothing except showboat, evangelize, rage and spit…to no effect.
I believe her greatest achievement will be to help facilitate the dismemberment of the Republican caucus…I'm OK with that.

Anyone who develops software knows how crazy this is. How on earth can you know who to layoff if you don’t know the tech stack? This is blithering idiot level of stupidity.
