I honestly thought that Rebel Yell white coffee was a joke, so I followed the link to the Minuteman Coffee Company. Nope, not a joke. Also, Norton seems to think the website may be a scam. And finally, dear God they need a copy editor. 100% Arbica beans? Columbian dark roast? Yeesh guys, the least you can do is pretend that this is a real business.

King County shoulda jumped all over that Boeing sale and turned it into a live-in shelter. I looked through the auction items, place had a full kitchen with commercial equipment and everything.

It's also the required air conditioning in addition to the CPU consumption that drives up energy to create bitcoin. They can hook up solar panels, but I suspect that isn't near enough.

Once vaccines are available to all (which is no more than a few months off), a covid vaccine passport won't cause inequality any more than the measles vaccine requirement does.

And if the anti-vaxxers secede, that is a feature, not a bug.

6

Is there really much of an overlap between Loren Culp voters and people who pay $18 for a pound of coffee?

9

Dumb move on Gaetz's part asking for a pardon. No way Trump would get involved with someone sex trafficking girls that old.

@3 We could also use those same solar panels to do stuff people need, Phoebes.

Or just to displace coal-fired power plants. We're a long way from replacing fossil fuels with renewables, even without aggressively anti-conservationist follies like Electric Crimebux.

11

Loren Culp coffee - weak, bitter, and taken with lots of milk to make it as white as possible.

12

@6 The republican base are mostly petit bourgeois, not working class. They're enthusiastic consumers of any legal stimulant marketed at them, and they spend a ton of money on fashion and lifestyle and luxury goods, it's just all got different logos on it.

@12: Also describes wealthy libs to a T.

15

'Vax' Passports? nah

FREEDOM Passports bitches
let's call a spade a Spade.

16

@12: Yeah, but that just means they'll pay $75k for a pick-up truck. Not $18 for coffee. Priorities.

17

Lol take that all you commuters parking your cars for over three days at a time, oh wait those people don't exist... Also, is it really wise to encourage riding transit when buses are still at reduced capacity and routes? I don't even care tbh but Jenny is just a moron with that excuse.

19

Thankfully, I have my own driveway, otherwise I'd get ticketed/towed. The pandemic is still going on, and I only drive about once a week for a grocery run. I haven't driven more than 500 miles in the last year (compared to roughly 10k miles on a typical non-pandemic year).

Durkan is totally jumping the gun on the 72-hr parking rule. There's still lots of people out here who are more-or-less housebound, people still working from home, still a month or two away from being fully vaccinated, who aren't driving much, and likely leave their cars unmoving for days or even weeks at a time. So either a lot of pandemic-bound people are going to get swept up in this stupidity, or it's going to be selectively enforced against homeless people. Selective enforcement is always discriminatory. She's a former prosecutor. She should know better.

@19: Love Jenny for doing this. I guess you don't live on a street where a neighbors have multiple vehicles including big trucks, plus their guests, plus need for service and delivery, etc.

No excuse for not moving a vehicle in this town for more than 72 hours.

21

Personally, I find it refreshing that this Culp fellow and other failed and loser Republican public figures have a ready-made fall back career and money making opportunity available to them once they're exposed as frauds. I've no doubt in a few months we'll all be able to purchase a Matt Gaetz backed line of plant fertilizer or sewing machine thread that's branded in such a way to demonstrate that purchasing it owns the libs. Good for him too!

25

@14 Not quite. If you're only talking about the right wing of the Democratic party, then sure, fair enough I guess, but the idea that the typical core Democratic voter is a New York hedge fund manager riding around in a town car is a Fox News fever dream.

@16 I get where you're coming from there, but think about it. A republican is damn well going to have his coffee in the morning, and the idea of drinking poor-person coffee isn't going to sit well with him, least not when he can drink the good stuff and trigger the libs with stars-and-bars-and-ARs packaging. The grift is just so damned easy with these guys...

27

Fuck China. If it were any other country imprisoning a minority group and forcing them into slave labor, we would boycott their asses in a millisecond. Boycott their propaganda spectacle.

re toasy servers: have they not yet tried
underground lakes cum heat pumps?
seems like a no-brainerd to me

31

no no
Toasty servers
dammit

32

@25: Don't you also think these plausible stereotypes include right-wing republicans praising the down home simplicity of Dunkin Donuts coffee?

34

@28,

I don't have any real problem with it, but also gotta figure forging something of that nature wouldn't be especially difficult. Seems like it'll be a challenge to both implement and enforce and that's even before all the Don't Tread on Me mouth breathers start carrying on about our nation descending into a Stalinist hellscape.

@26 Graphics cards aren't used for bitcoin today, they haven't been cost-effective for like a decade now. Custom chips dedicated to bitcoin's hash algo are in like their fourth or fifth generation, far outstripping general-purpose GPUs. And their thermals are even worse.

Graphics cards are still used for this kind of nonsense, but they're used for even more useless nonsense-- specifically, for the sub-sewer of cryptocurrencies below the bitcoin sewer. The graphics card shortages today are driven by the likes of EtherHuffingCoin and FrogeCoin and DickPicCoin and oh god who can even. There's a bottomless septic tank of these things, and of addicts gambling with them, too.

29: No, it's definitely not a Ponzi scheme.

Bitcoin and blockchain is a technology based on trust, where no middleman (like a bank) is needed to verify value -- as all mined blockchain nodes must provide a proof of work to validate that all other nodes in the chain are accounted for.

Several good videos on YouTube explaining it.

38

29: But I totally agree with you on the envirnonmental.

39

"Several good videos on YouTube explaining it" might be the most damning words in the English language.

@36 -- power's so Cheap
in Chelan Co. a relly of mine's
living room floor is uninsulated and

vents -- on each side. and it gets Chilly there
as well as Toasty af. all that Gov't Socialism just
Wasted on right-wing Freeloaders. as per fawking Usual.

gotta Doubt that Cheep Power's
gonna be there for Ever.

42

40: IRL is now. Visa cards now accept bitcoin transactions and offer bitcoin rewards.

@25:

Your typical GOP rank-and-filer doesn't drink that "fancy city coffee" - that's for those "latte libruls" - it's canned Maxwell House, usually boiled in the ole' percolator to the consistency and flavor of river mud, or run through the hasn't-been-cleaned-in-20-years Mr. Coffee (often filtered through a paper towel, because buying actual coffee filters never occurs to them) at half-strength, so it comes out more like how I imagine damp, unwashed gym socks would taste. At least that's how the RWNJ's in MY family serve it.

@47:

Fnarf departed these hallowed halls of electronic discourse/ignorant spleen-venting many, many moons ago. He's still online, but only those of us "in the know" can track him these days.

$18 for a pound of lousy coffee? I'm surprised Culp hasn't come up with a MAGA Rube Blend at that price. Hey Loony Loren-y--offer 'em a buy one, get one at triple price deal! Your fan base will never know.

@11 NoSpin: Yep. Nailed it. :)

@13 kristofarian: I love you, kris! Don't ever stop! :)

@27 Morty: From what is currently being signed into law, it looks like the biden- Harris Administration to working wondering to bring us back ahead of China, financially and economically.

@41 kristofarian: What? Your relatives in Eastern Washington haven't learned anything from deregulated Texas yet? B-b-but winters east of the Cascades are COLD!........

@43 COMTE: I'm surprised Zombie ex-Cop, Loony Loren-y isn't trying to make a dishonest fortune by digging up bags of dirt in his back yard and passing that off as his lousy coffee.

@45 Mr.X: Well said! Agreed and seconded. Bravo and Kudos. No further questions, Your Honor. :)

@51 2CV: I agree with you that Loren Culp and Matt Gaetz are both pathetic slimeball asseroles. What hating re Loony Loren-y, though? I'm still laughing my ass off while rolling my eyes and shaking my head over the following:

1.) Loren Culp, a self-aggrandizing RepubliKKKan Zombie Cop from the tiny Eastern Washington town of Republic, whose sole platform for Governor was to Keep Washington State Unmasked, Dammit!, is still mad because he lost to thrice legitimately-elected Governor Jay Inslee,
2.) Refusing to concede the fair and just election, claiming "Nope--something's fishy", Culp tried to sue Secretary of State Kim Wyman for nonexistent election fraud and was told in court that without any evidence to prove that the 2020 Gubernatorial Election was rigged to dismiss his ridiculous charges, stop wasting taxpayer money, and go home already--it's OVER.
3.) Butt-spanked sore loser Loony Loren-y, tucking his tail between his widdle legs, finally returned home to his one-horse unmasked MAGA hide-y-hole of Republic to find out that the Town Council had defunded its local police force, and that Ferry County deputies covering for Culp during his gubernatorial campaigning "vacation time" cost him his job as sole police officer.

Idiotic spotlight-seeking Trump-copycats like Loren Culp make playing Whack-a-Troll all too easy (See comments such as @45). I'm surprised Loren Culp isn't peddling his lousy coffee at $1,000 a pound.

53

@52: ARRRGGGHH! Correction, to my comment to Morty @27:
"....it looks like the Biden-Harris Administration is working wonders to bring us back ahead of China, financially and economically."
So many glaring typos and no red wine yet today.
