530 - Politics, Particulates, And Phones That Make Us See Red

[9:06 AM] 
Sounds like congratulations are in order to congress on the historic Disaster Bill they got through last night.
Sorry.  Typo.  "Budget" bill.
[9:06 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I didn't notice
I find US politics kinda uninteresting compared to the rest of the world
[9:08 AM] 
They got funding for a whole year taken care of and it'll only add 1.3 trillion extra dollars
The fiscal-responsibility balanced-budget austerity party really went above and beyond on this one.
[9:11 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I saw that Rand Paul was decrying budget imbalance and the hypocrisy of Republicans even though he voted for the bill and the cut
[9:12 AM] 
As i was walking away, Rand Paul was saying something that was coming off like "WTF is wrong with you idiots?  If this happened when Obama..." but I was too far away to hear more.
[9:12 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
The GOP is no longer fiscally conservative
I mean i guess they're more fiscally conservative than the Dems but
They're not really in favor of smaller government or "states rights" either
any more
[9:18 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
So i have not followed any of that stuff
All i know is there was big tax cuts to business
Did they make their paychecks bigger again too?
[9:36 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Probably
The issue is their budget doesn't balance the budget
Even though the GOP always harp on balancing the budget when the Dems are in charge and claim they're the party of "fiscal responsibility"
[9:46 AM] 
Which is a joke since they wreck the economy every time they are in charge of the government.
At least since I started understanding the process back with Reagan
The rich sure seem to have a lot more money and the non-rich a lot less by the time the non-rich kick the Republicans out though
[9:48 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
The biggest issue is not who is in the president's chair
You can put an idiot there if you control the rest
[9:48 AM] 
Not really – he has to sign or refuse any budget he's given
And he is supposed to be getting everyone working together and recommend agendas.
So you have...say...a Democrat president – "Let's take care of people, fix things, get the money back in circulation and working, and try to get along with everybody" 
Or a Republican president – "Tax cut!  War!  Defense defense defense!  Deregulate!  Screw the social support systems...they don't work despite overwhelming evidence!  Reduce government except us! Jesus waves the flag! OIL!  COAL!"
Sometimes all that's in the way is a quality -- or a trash -- president
Pretty sick, really
[9:53 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Republicans haven't been about small government lately either
Or 'liberty', since they don't like states deciding gay marriage or marijuana legislation
(unless those states are against both)
[9:54 AM] 
I've never seen that they ever were.
[9:55 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Maybe not
[9:55 AM] 
All their stated positions seem to be lies.
Their only true goal is suck money to their interests and collect it.
[9:55 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Eisenhower started some pretty massive federal projects
Arguably socialist ones
[9:55 AM] 
Ike... wasn't these people...
[9:55 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
No
He wasn't really "conservative"
Fiscally at least
[9:56 AM] 
Their public campaigns are just spouting all the ignorant nonsense their base wants to hear and their secret campaigns are voter manipulation. Their only goal is to trick enough fools to outvote what should be the majority opposition so they can keep going.
[9:56 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I dunno what Ike's social policies were. I assume everyone in the 50s was "conservative" by today's standards
[1950s campaign speech] "I believe that the negroid and mongoloid races - while brutish and uncivilized - have every right to live as the valiant caucasoid."
"This guy's way too progressive for me."
[9:56 AM] 
LOL
I think Ike was a general and knew how to win a "war"
Capture territory...move forces...requisition R&D...protect supply lines...mobilize troops...maximize assets...and accomplish objectives.
(Ike playing RISK) "I put all my armies in the Western US."
"But nothing is threatening there.  Why?"
(points at stars)
[10:01 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I recall the interstate system was his idea and it was modeled after the German Autobahn, which allowed the Nazis to move troops quickly across their country as needed.
Moving materiel in large trucks across the US at the time could take weeks or possibly even months depending on conditions
[10:09 AM] 
Nod
Even before WWI, Germany did the same with preparing the rail system.  WAY more efficient than anywhere else for mobilization.



[9:44 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
"gastronomy" is a weird term
It is not a very appetizing word
[9:45 AM] 
Gourmand sounds nicer than it is.
[9:46 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
yes
[9:46 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
The gastronomy influx of particulation saturation is out of dynamic quasi literation.
[9:46 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Gastronomy sounds like the medical study of the stomach/intestines
[9:46 AM] 
yes
Evil Mr. Brown...making me define what that sentence means
[9:47 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
haha
[9:47 AM] 
...got it...
"The current laboratory-cooking experiments in particalized ingredient infusion by chefs arose from the faddish pondering of non-chefs proposing it could be done."
[9:51 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
haha
[9:51 AM] 
Which...
...is not untrue.
"What flavor is it?"
"Micronized Strawberry."
"So...strawberry." 
"No."
"So you didn't just mix in strawberry?"
"No.  We took strawberry and reduced it to a paste, made a tincture of it, jetted it as a mist into a chamber of near liquid nitrogen and collected the resulting microbeads.  These were introduced to the batter.  So it's more like chocolate chips in a cookie...they melt, but stay in situ."
"Couldn't you just chop up strawberries?"
"..."
"And mix them in?"
"..."
Wouldn't that be the s-"
"OUT! Get out of my kitchen!"
[9:59 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Essence of strawberry
[9:59 AM] 
"Yes! You GET it. Try one!"
[10:00 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Man, somebody allergic to strawberry could be killed with that in such a way that nobody would know
[10:03 AM] 
I think on review in the hospital (or the autopsy) they'd probably figure it out
[10:03 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
But if it was broken down to molecule level then introduced, they would have to look into it pretty far
[10:04 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
There's no "strawberry molecule”
[10:05 AM]  
Well there should be
Perhaps it's on the Periodic Table of "And Natural Flavors"
[10:06 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
Strawbarium
[10:06 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
and down and to the right is avacadonic...deadly poison
[10:07 AM] 
I'm a bluebarium man, more
Avacadonic is safe enough if mixed with other elements like Limeine
[10:09 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Cherryllium
[10:11 AM] 
Cherryllium...I like
[10:12 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Orangenese
[10:13 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
[10:13 AM] 
Knew that would be coming...hehe



[9:20 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Jesus Christ
This guy has a hearing aid that requires an app to adjust volume, etc.
[9:20 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
yeesh
Probably one of those tiny ones
[9:22 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
A Venn diagram of people that need hearing aids and people that can operate apps on smartphones would not overlap
[9:22 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Later down the road it will
[9:22 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
When WE need them, yeah
[9:22 AM]
Sorry. By then they'll laugh at us and our use of apps.
[9:23 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
hehe
[9:26 AM] 
Hearing aids for the young and hip...
[9:26 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
The ultimate in hipster fashion
[9:27 AM] 
(last night...dinner with Mom and my sister) "I don't get those cell phones and all the stuff people do on them.  I can't figure out the things.  How do you figure them out?"
(me) "By using them."
(sis, getting close to 60) "We're young and hip and it just happens automatically, mom."
(me) "Oh...yeah, that was it."
(sis) "Why do you even have it, Mom?"
"Well...I take it when I'm driving in case something happens."
(sis) "Well that makes sense."
(me) "Well, it would if you would learn to dial it, anyway."
[9:33 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
HAHA
Sitting in the broken down car
beep beep “shit”
beep beep beep “shit!”
Well, I guess i'm walking.”



[10:11 AM] 
Client - Dlugopolski 
"Ok, let's try hitting update, Mr. ... Dlugoplogelobobog...ski."
[10:11 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Ahh… Must be Irish
[10:11 AM] 
LOL
