"We never suggested our ships would be Covid free”

but our fabulous Buffets
are to Die for.

How to aggravate your software engineers: Deny complete admin access to their development and test machines. That's a walk-out-the-door-immediately offense.

"An elderly woman has passed away
after dozens of people tested positive
for COVID on board a cruise ship."

well that's EZ:
Outlaw these
stupid Tests.

oh and why haven't "Republican" Goobernors
simpletonally Outlawed the stupid Vaccine*?
if there ever were a 'no-Brainer' that'd be It.

Speaking of Freedoms:

require Freedom! [Covax] Passports
to participate in America or
GTFO

*for evryone but Themselves
and their wealthy Backers

@3, as we have seen, proof of vaccination still won’t guarantee a COVID-free cruise.

Why would you ever sound 'outraged' when the US is prioritizing US citizens in an evacuation? I have volunteered to shuttle refugees, so I'm all for helping out. But US citizens have to be first in line,

That's a good one kristofarian! Wondering, did the cruise passenger die of COVID complications, or is the media just associating the two? (Could not open the article on NYT's)

when an overly-well-armed Mob breaks into your
Home (or the People's House) and you'd

"replacing the old Red Apple Market."

As someone who shopped at the Red Apple for years, I am still baffled by the Stranger's fetish for this store. It was a shitty store with bad service, and arguably the worst produce section in greater Seattle. It seemed like that store specialized in high fructose corn syrup.

11

Is anyone reminding Californians, especially gay and lesbian Californians, that Newsom issued marriage licenses to same sex couples while just about every other politician was saying to wait a while?

12

I just read on another news site that Charlie Watts died. A gentleman and a great drummer--and a great loss. RIP, Charlie.

14

@11 and Ed Murray was instrumental in having gay marriage legalized here in WA state. You can do good things and still be a shitty leader. It's a pretty sad state of affairs when the justification for keeping you in office is "the other guy is worse" rather than standing on your accomplishments and the good things you have done. Newsom deserves to be recalled. CA will be just fine.

17

@11, dunno, have you volunteered to do some text banking?

Prioritizing is not the same thing as refusing to help. Also, are any of our allied countries offering to help that people of Afghanistan or do they all just get a free pass?

19

@16,

Kinda light on the details there. What specific policy positions of Newsom do you deem to be crazy?

20

If I lived in CA I'd rather have Gavin than Larry or even Caitlyn (sorry hon).

21

She’s the first female governor in New York’s history, but she’s not quite progressive enough for the Stranger so apparently they don’t give a shit.

25

I find it ironic that a biking component manufacturer is complaining about the middle-man. I have worked in bike shops and the markup is absolutely insane. Not uncommon for a $100 crank to sell for $600, for example. Also ran into customer fraud a lot, people trying to sneak used parts into return boxes and shit like that. Spare me the tears.

And not sure if anyone remembers Mixer, but they had a way better community, far less toxic, less racist, and Microsoft were more proactive in protecting the community than Amazon and twitch. twitch is garbage.

26

Technically, when I traveled in the EU, it was by train and boat, so the only contribution I made to global warming there - other than by staying at low impact hostels and living like a European - was my flights to/from the continent.

So, I'm ok with that. I did the best I could.

27

If gavin does get recalled California should really consider making some changes to their recall process, which apparently can be used to replace a governor with one who less represents its voter base.

28

@24: And someone who once was wed to Kimberly Guilfoyle can't be all that bad.

32

It was a Samsung Galaxy that caught fire with the incident here, by the way

33

@32: Good to know.

35

and after Cali deregulated they gave around THREE BILLION Dollar$ to their Shareholders. nbd, except they COLLDDA USED THAT MOENY TO BURY some of THEIR POWERLINES. Lines which caused/burnt down what was it TENS OF BILLION$ in property?

so yeah a Great Investment for the Capitalists
but yet another Bad Burn for Ratepayers
Taxpayers and Global Warming.

don;t you 'republicans' ever tire of taking up the ass?
that's okay -- I don't really need to hear youi answer.

36

@35:
they = PG&E

37

@10 -- not to mention the
red apple's sky High Prices.

thank Gawd for the two Cos:
Costco and Winco.*

*Employee Owned!

38

@31: Consider that the health app on the Apple watch gave permission for the anti-masker to order curly fries.

40

@31
3rd paragraph FTW!

41

"It's a pretty sad state of affairs when the justification for keeping you in office is "the other guy is worse""

Every fucking election is like that. Grow up.

42

@1 & @4 kristofarian, @24 blip, and @31 Professor_Hiztory (especially the third paragraph--BINGO!): for the WIN, baybee!!!

@40 pat L: +1 Agreed and seconded.

43

@41 not even close and if that is how you vote you’re pretty sad too. I vote for the person who talks about what they can do not for the asshat who campaigns on how awful their opponent is. There is a big difference there. Maybe you can’t see it but if you pause and open your eyes it’s there.

Sorry for being late, but it you have plant ID questions, you can direct them to the helpful research librarians at UW's Miller Library Plant Answer Line. (https://depts.washington.edu/hortlib/resources-info/pal/)
