Fall LC thread

There’s very little news that actually elicits an emotional reaction out of me but this makes me so fucking happy.

I suspect our boy Romney is going to try to sneak in after tonight’s urgent meeting, but I’ve got this chambered if he’s deeply troubled enough to do something.

So Todd Phillips is a turd. Bleh.

Life is tough.

Hangover II and III - HILARIOUS

I’d really like this douche to name one concrete example. I bet Louis CK comes out first.

You could never make Hangover or Old School in today’s climate. Oh wait - sure you could. Easily. Maybe you’re just out of ideas and full of excuses.

The reality is that he just wants to be taken seriously. That other Hangover guy did Chernobyl, and he wants some of that.

Still can’t believe the guy wanted to do a GG Allin documentary. Let’s just say a guy who gets his career off to a start like that is not going to be a really cool guy.

That’s, like, not even close to the right Morpheous image to go with the quote.

I’m aware.

Going to go ahead and surmise that his book “What It Takes” contains no discussion of what it REALLY takes.

… Yeah the fact that they’ve propped up Asians as the victims of affirmative action rather than as the victims of substandard legacy kids from super wealthy families is utterly ridiculous. Yes they reacted to affirmative action by robbing Asians to give slots to black/latino kids. That’s because they absolutely refuse to cut slots from rich white kids. Or they could just add enough slots to not screw anyone. They’ve got the money.

How long before the countertop ban?

Not as long as regulations requiring adequate air filtration at those factories.

A lot of this work is done by small, independent operations. The “factory” is often little more than a cheap metal building or even just an open yard. I’ve seen several who do the sink cutouts and final polishing right on site.

A year later, the incoming Trump administration ended the safety agency’s national emphasis program for silica. That program would have allowed OSHA to target the countertop fabrication industry for special inspections, says Michaels.

Of course.

I used to work for a granite and marble countertop manufacturer and it was indeed a small operation. One 5k sq ft warehouse with a few machines to cut the stone and other machines to do whatever they did afterwards. All the guys who worked there were in their early to mid 20s and looked 50.

Which should still be providing safe working conditions for their employees…
