Annapolis Mall trended on Facebook after a loud fight in the food court was mistaken for a gunshot and chaos ensued for a bit until they figured it all out.

What do you have against AA County? 

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/26/upshot/where-are-the-hardest-places-to-live-in-the-us.html

It is listed as 180th best place in the USA to live in this article.

I mean, I get it, Howard County is number 9.  But 180 isnt so bad.  At least it is not PG County (860) or DC (in the 1200s).

Or Baltimore City in the 2400s.

I am quite surprised that DC is ranked that high.  I was figuring well into the five figures.

Nope sorry but I am not into pop crap that is so over polished and tweaked with protools that if we ever had to listen to the 'performer' actually sing our ears would probably bleed from the terrible sound.  Let alone that all they do is sing other peoples songs.  Just not into it at all.

I didn't ask if you liked Taylor Swift's music or were into it. I find it borderline unbelievable that you presumably have a TV and occasionally go shopping and am completely unaware of one of the biggest celebrities in America. It's like not knowing who Barack Obama is or what football is.

BTW which one is Swift?
Let's see: you've already been "informed" Taylor Swift is a pop singer. One person is holding a microphone and singing in the photos, and the other is in lingerie. Which do you think is Taylor Swift, if you had to guess?

Ah that one, what she does (while being passed off as country) has nothing at all to do with country music.  She is not alone in this realm though.  99% of what is being marketed and sold as these days county is nothing more than glammed up pop coated with a very thin coat of pseudo country (a la FGL, et al).

Home Alone was set in the early 90s.  The first Saw movie was set in the early 2000s.  Kevin would only be in his early twenties during the Saw movies.  Jigsaw was in his 60s.

Saw does not take place in the future.

I hope someone didn't get paid to write that crap.

what are peoples opinion about this whole dc pot congress override the popular vote of a place with no real representation, thing?  personally I do not care about the pot aspect of it, for this could be about anything that was voted yes on with over seventy percent of an actual vote.  the idea that people can vote on something, then have the government of the country you are voting in, say sorry, your vote does not count, really irks me.  and the core person involved in doing it is not even someone from dc.  and the guy says the other day, "if the people of dc dont like it, they can leave."  and the guy is heavily backed by pharmaceutical companies.  really? 

i see people want to do protests . . . but do protests really do anything in this country?  did occupy wall street, do anything?  i dont even think these race protests will do any real thing, to change a true mass adjustment of thoughts and attitudes.

so what does happen if this goes through one hundred percent and the vote of a district is canceled?  do the wheels just keep turning?

I think you skip the protests and go talk to the DC leaders.  Tell them this is a good place to take a stand against Congressional interference and all that needs to be done is to instruct the cops and local prosecutors to curb enforcement of possession charges for small amounts.  It can be done.  Brooklyn district attorney Kenneth Thompson recently announced he wasn't going to prosecute small possession cases any longer.

1) It is not always the popular vote that counts in this country - presidential elections are a prime example.

2) Protests, while most often justified, are quite often fabricated by the people with man agenda - The case in Missouri is a perfect example.  A man chooses to rob a store, he then chooses to refuse to leave the middle of the street when requested to do so by an officer, he then chooses to assault the officer, he then chooses to leaves the scene in an attempt to resist arrest, he then chooses to return in an attempt to assault the officer a second time, he then chooses to not comply with the officers order to get on teh ground.  Basically he chose to die.  In another case that is being hyped as a 'choke hold', the criminal there said "I can't Breathe", which is physically impossible to do if you can't breathe.  Bottom line is that that was NOT a choke hold.  The only similarity in these two cases is that the media created news based on non-facts in order to push their cause du jour happens to be.

3) Should this be the way it is in either instance?  In both cases my short answer is no.  I would prefer a simple majority rule most of the time.   I would also prefer if the supposed news outlets in this country would stop creating news and start actually reporting it.

THAT is the fact.

anymore facts you care to discuss?

the fact is that you would have been banned LONG ago if it wasn't for this convenient "fact"

I actually think you've been far more pleasant on this board since, I'm guessing, your health improved and you went on your cruise... much more chipper....which is nice.... keep it that way! resist the urge to join the dark side! stop talking about politics, race, or "personal responsibility" (code for FUCK OFF AND DIE) and you'll be fine.... oh wait a minute, that wouldn't leave you much other than sharing outback coupons! dang..

if you didn't know much about his partner, you prob. weren't too close, no? Maybe it was a small wedding? Maybe he didn't have a wedding?
From the looks of it, it was at the court house...so only close family...

Hey Ratbastard do you have anything disparaging to say about Tamir Rice? 

Was he a criminal that deserved to be gunned down in the streets for his crimes?

Or was he a little kid playing with a toy gun (like a lot of little kids do) and was killed by a trigger happy cop who did not even give Tamir a second to react to him and his partner?

well I don't know what the requirements are to officiate weddings but no.. i did not expect to be invited to the civil service much less officiate.. just maybe a "hey man we're getting married"...but the truth... is we're not very close friends i guess...although always friendly.. i saw him at the outer body llama show a few months back..we talked about the world cup....but i did go to his 40th birthday party and not many did....

maybe my expectations are just unrealistic.. maybe they eloped....doesn't really matter...happy for them... she kind of looks a little bit like mila kunis so he's done well for himself...

i'm thinking of sending a congratulatory card in the mail after the holidays.. ;D

The worst movie of the year, according to Rotten Tomatoes and it's 2% score, is Nicolas Cage's version of Left Behind.  I actually want to see this.  I love Cage and his overreactions, and this movie is guaranteed to have plenty of them. 

Trailer

He also made the list with Rage (14%).  I saw that one earlier this year on Netflix.  RT has it listed as being in (limited) theaters on July 11 and on DVD by August 12.

In the US they already waive surge pricing during emergencies  (http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com//2014/07/08/uber-reaches-agreement-with-n-y-on-surge-pricing-during-emergencies/)

I've taken UBER about 50 times in the last three years and I would say WITHOUT A DOUBT that the service is 100% better than DC and VA cabs, maybe even 500% better
the fares are fair if not cheaper, the drivers are much nicer, the vehicles are way better
and now thanks to GPS, people don't really need to know how to get places....that was the value of a veteran cabbie

I don't think UBER black sedan (if a real thing) has rolled out in Richmond yet. UberX (that's the larger vehicles, right?) just got here in the last month.

The VIP tickets to Fall Line Fest (our version of Hopscotch) came with free Uber for the weekend and it was worth the ticket upgrade alone. Never waited more than 3-5 minutes for a ride, very convenient if you were drinking, etc.

someone told me that they send you emails or texts or something with info on the car and drivers photo, so you know that the vehicle really is your uber?  i heard that in new York, people have been just getting into peoples cars thinking they were ubers.  i wonder if people already stereotype what they think uber drivers look like?
Title: Re: random . . . randomness
Post by: DeathFromAbove1979 on December 16, 2014, 12:36:39 pm
Uber gives you the drivers name, a picture, and their rating. I believe Uber also gets the person who orders it. Based on their rating the driver can choose to pick them up or not. I believe my rating is alright... My friend just became and Uber driver. I should ask her what my rating is.

One complaint is that a LOT of Uber drivers have no idea where they are going. I've jumped in an Uber plenty of times and when I talk to them they don't live in DC or even frequent it so they go by their GPS regardless of traffic. Multiple times I've given them directions or alternate routes.

People jump into random cars all over thinking they are Ubers. It's just because literally any car can be an UberX. Nissan, Honda, Scion, Chevy, whatever. The only way you can tell if it's an Uber is that it will have the "U" on one of the windows. I've seen it happen multiple times.

What specifically do you dislike about it? It's actually much more sensible layout-wise. We say $500 as "500 dollars." Doesn't it make sense to put the character that is shorthand for "dollars" after the number?

I think their date scheme is even worse.  DD-MM-YY is absurd.  When we speak of dates we say March 24th, not 24th March.  I agree though that $### is superior to ###$.   They also reverse the separators in their monetary values.  1.000,00 makes absolutely zero sense as opposed to 1,000.00.  It would get really wacky when we had dollars and cents.  2.045$,26¢.

the date format the makes the most sense is YYYY-MM-DD, with zeros in front of single digits (2014-02-09).  why?  dates are then sortable.  </nerd rant>

When we speak of dates we say March 24th, not 24th March. 

but we do say "24th of March". 

I agree though that $### is superior to ###$.   They also reverse the separators in their monetary values.  1.000,00 makes absolutely zero sense as opposed to 1,000.00. 

it makes zero sense to someone who does things differently.  in other words, your objection is purely subjective: "i'm not used to it, so it's inherently bad".   period/comma is not subjectively better or worse than comma/period.  they both accomplish the same function and neither is more efficient, elegant, etc than the other.

It would get really wacky when we had dollars and cents.  2.045$,26¢.

that reasoning is just asinine.  do we include both dollar and cent symbols today?  no, we write $2,045.26.  slamming something in there that isn't currently used to make a false point isn't helpful.

And speaking of Roman numerals and Serial, I work with serials a lot at work. Many have been using Roman numerals for volume numbers for decades, and many of them should stop that practice. Beyond XXXIX, a lot them muck it up.

WHat the fuck?  I never said I was better than anyone, due to age or any other factor.  I also do not think older music is crap.  I have always said my POV and experiences are different from someone who is old enough to remember Vietnam.  You guys listened to the Beatles when you were younger, I didn't.  I did not listen to music really until 1992, outside of whatever my parents would play.

I also did not say BETTER THAN anything in regards to the Beatles.  I said:

I don't like the Beatles, at all.  I like at least 1000, if not more, bands than them.

Considering I do not like the Beatles, I am going to assume, with the amount of artists I follow and have in my library, that I LIKE at least 1000 bands MORE THAN the Beatles.  It is not that hard to fathom. 

I also do not like AC/DC and tons of other older bands.  I DO like some older artists; the Zombies, CCR, Curtis Mayfield, Neil Diamond, America, Grateful Dead, and a few others.

No, not at all.  But you set yourself up for criticism if you say, think Foxygen is the bees knees but think the Rolling Stones are a bunch of morons.  Or if you say Dylan has no talent before you've tried to write a decent metaphor.  You can choose to not listen to the Beatles, but much of what you like was actually invented by them.

I never praised Foxygen.

I do not like the Rolling stones, the Beatles, or Dylan's music (with some exceptions, like Moonlight Mile).

Did I ever say they did not have talent (other than when I criticized Dylan's mumble mouth singing)? 

No.  I said, as I will always say, I DO NOT LIKE THEIR MUSIC.  Jeez how freaking hard is it to convince you guys that not everyone likes every band.   I did not criticize their talent OR their influence.  All I said is I don't like their music.

They have a date for Smackdown on Tuesday (and if you look at it, they are also doing house shows Monday AND Tuesday...), and I am pretty sure they tape Main Event at the same time as that.

Edit: whatever you think my intention was in my reply to DFA, you are wrong.

I was posting something to show him that this Monday night, at the Raw taping, they will not be taping Smackdown, and the one he went to that was like that, because Smackdown would have been on NYE that year.  Not sure why that would make me the douche of the year.  Especially since I do like DFA and was not trying to be douchey to him.

That makes sense! They recorded 2 weeks of Raw and Smackdown. They were weird episodes when I rewatched them. A lot of "backstage" segments when they aired. Still fun. Either way, 2nd row!

I heard Payback is going to be in Baltimore in May. It's right around my birthday so maybe I'll splurge and get some nice tickets... depending on the card.

NWA - Number 6 http://www.bet.com/music/photos/2011/09/50-most-influential-rappers.html#!091211-music-nwa

Dr Dre - Number 3 http://www.bet.com/music/photos/2011/09/50-most-influential-rappers.html#!060911-music-body-dre-big

Nobody knows who Dre is?  He sold tons of music.  Has influenced tons of rappers/producers.  Is one of the richest hip hop moguls etc.

really?  I still do not get why you (to you Julian, I moved this) think Dr Dre is not recognizable.

Influence has nothing to do with celebrity or identifiability. Nor does talent. My parents don't know who Dr Dre is; they do know who Taylor Swift is. Grandparents know who Taylor Swift is. 2nd graders know who Taylor Swift is.

Taylor Swift is everywhere in 2014. She's in every grocery store check out lane. She is in commercials. She's one of Barbara Walters most interesting people. She has maximum media saturation. Dr Dre does not. That's not to say Taylor is better than Dr Dre or anything like that, but it's just undeniable that someone whose image is proverbially everywhere is more recognizable than someone who is not.

I did not ever say Taylor was not easily identifiable.  I am saying Dr Dre is also easily identifiable.

Anyways, I think iTunes/Apple deleted my mp3 copy of NYC Cops by the Strokes (from their debut CD that I bought while living in South Korea in 2001 that had this song and the original artwork).  I was listening to some of their music the other day, and I noticed that the track was no longer in my library... Strange.

But he isn't. He hasn't put out a record in a decade. There are not commercials with Dr. Dre on TV. Dr Dre is not on tabloid covers. To the best of my knowledge, his picture is not on the packaging for his head phones.

If you showed 100 Americans at random a picture of Dr Dre, how many do you think can correctly identify him? Because my guess would be in the single digits.

However the song's other lyricist-composer, Paul McCartney, had a very different inspiration. He is quoted as saying: "The verse about the politician blowing his mind out in a car we wrote together. It has been attributed to Tara Browne, the Guinness heir, which I don?t believe is the case, certainly as we were writing it, I was not attributing it to Tara in my head. In John?s head it might have been. In my head I was imagining a politician bombed out on drugs who?d stopped at some traffic lights and didn?t notice that the lights had changed. The ?blew his mind? was purely a drugs reference, nothing to do with a car crash."

Nobody said it was.  I said he was both recognizable and influential.  And since you could not identify him, you obviously do not like Hip Hop at all, or you would probably be able to identify him.  He has sold millions and millions of records.   He has sold millions and millions of headphones.  He has a career that is entering it's THIRD decade.  Just because you dont like hip hop does NOT mean that only a handful of 100 people on the street would be able to identify him.  That is just showing your own ignorance on the subject the subject being hip hop, Dr Dre, and who can identify him.

That is not the point. 

The point is, DRE is also recognizable. And to deny that is to show ignorance of the genre of hip hop.  Nothing against Julian, I am just saying if he knew anything about that style of music, then he would be able to identify the good Doctor.

Keep not answering.

Because if you state some significantly high number -- which would be requisite for you to actually give me any real grief over this -- you're going to be immediately mocked because it's insane. But on the other hand, if you state a reasonable number, like in the single digits, your entire argument dissolves.

No.  Why would you think I was being dismembered?  Because Julie doesnt know who Dr Dre is? Bitch please. 

And I never had a meltdown.  Ever.  Here or elsewhere.  If you read/pay attention to my posts, you would know all of that was to amuse me.  Changing names, etc.  Not a meltdown.

i feel, something here reading this conversation . . . but i do not know what.  i am hungry, as well, i do know that.  dinner last night, for Christmas was awesome.  ham and turkey and like ten side dishes.  we went all out, and excellent wine and bill murray in scrooged playing on the television and singing and Christmas magic throughout the night.  what a nice holiday to experience, when it all comes together just right.  

baby jesus is watching you three, so kiss underneath the new year.

I am not saying for certain Julian is not a real person.  But, I was told he is not.  But who knows?  Sometimes I would think atomic was real, other times just someone's Alt.  And since I have only been here since 2007 or 2008 or whenever it was, I am not in on all of the inside stuff around this place; the jokes, allusions to the past, etc.   

I only think people are real if I have actually met them in person or if I interact with them on any other social media.

I've been going out for the past few years and it's gotten tiresome. Even if we hit a fun little dive bar. My friend is having a house party. So, we're gonna grab some dinner and some drinks then head back to his place. Then binge drink forever. Hopefully wake up in time for the Winter Classic.

Well, unlike any coach we've had since Moeller, he actually has a track record of producing a quality coaching tree.

I couldn't see him gone in 4 years unless he wins a National title, in which case, I don't care and we'll name a fucking building after him. I think he'll be there the entire 6-7 year contract and have a successor ready to go if he does want to jump back to the NFL (which I'm __really__ not sure he's going to do). He's not going to do his alma mater that way.

It wasn't intended as admonishing, it was a friendly point in the direction of the proper thread so we don't fill up the random thread unnecessarily with sports talk since there's a better thread for it (as a courtesy to the faction on the board who hates the mere thought that people on a music forum might want to discuss sports from time to time).

Also, as to my comments yesterday, we DO have a hockey thread, but NOT a college football one.

I must have missed the hockey thread, I remember the Caps one floating around but I didn't want to bump it.

Also, standing room tickets were at 197 yesterday on StubHub and today they jumped to 350. I was tempted at 200 for Standing Room...

I think you do not understand the word random.  Random draws from everything possible, however improbable.  

Like this list:  Mustard, Beets, 23481hjnnaov9, -901maschizno.

Even that's not quite random, but you get the idea.  If this were called "Miscellany - not otherwise categorized", then you would be correct in drawing our attention to a more relevant thread.

It's oddly named to play off the soccer thread's name; it's On The Eve of the New Season: North of the Border Edition.

That's too rich for my blood. Had I not already been to a Winter Classic and was a Caps or Hawks fan, then absolutely yes, you'll love it, but I'm not paying $350 for standing room only tickets to see two teams I'm indifferent about play outside in cold weather.

Fair enough. I have always looked at the "random" thread as a "everything not covered elsewhere" thread, although you are correct, that's not the actual meaning of random.

I still maintain a post on a subject that we have a long running thread covering will have the best chance of being seen by an audience who cares about it if posted in that thread instead of here, but everyone should make their own decisions on such.

Got a text message around 2am saying the show/party/rave at Echostage got shut down after a kid jumped off the balcony into the crowd. Originally I laughed. I've been to Echostage and would say the balcony is about 15 feet up for so? Figured the kid was trying to crowd surf or something. Jumped onto Facebook and saw some random pictures of a kid on the concrete with blood pouring out of his head. My friend said news vans were there and everyone was escorted out and the kid was in critical condition. From some people I know there, he did a front flip? Didn't go very well and hit the ground. Was trying to find an article online, but can't seem to find anything.

Anyone heard anything else on this?

No, but that's insane.

About a year ago at The Pixies at The National, a kid jumped from the balcony to the main level about 10 feet from me and I was openly stunned at how relatively uninjured he and the people he fell on were.

I don't think I've ever seen traffic this bad. At least it moves when it snows. Today is was a total stand still going BOTH directions. Usually if you're going against traffic it's not so bad. On top of that I only saw a handful of cars on the side of the road. In my hour+ commute I only saw 1 plow truck out. I'd imagine they were hitting the highways hard.

Anyway vs. anyways

Anyways is a colloquial variant of the adverb anyway. It has a casual tone and may be considered out of place in formal or serious writing. In such contexts, anyway is safer.

Although considered informal, anyways is not wrong. In fact, there is much precedent in English for the adverbial -s suffix, which was common in Old and Middle English and survives today in words such as towards, once, always, and unawares. But while these words survive from a period of English in which the adverbial -s was common, anyways is a modern construction (though it is now several centuries old).

Anyways is sometimes useful for creating an informal or colloquial tone, which may be what these writers have in mind:

    Anyways, it?s time to move on. [NY Times]

    Whatever. Home Improvement sucked anyways. [Bleacher Report]

But in writing that is not intended to have a colloquial tone, anyway works in its place?for example:

    Why is Google building a Google phone, anyway? [The Atlantic]

    It can be nearly impossible to see from publicly available data which banks are extending or restructuring loans they believe will one day fail anyway. [Wall Street Journal]

    Anyway, I think it?s pretty hard to make a bad Hurley episode. [Chicago Tribune]

Quote
Anyway vs. anyways

Anyways is a colloquial variant of the adverb anyway. It has a casual tone and may be considered out of place in formal or serious writing. In such contexts, anyway is safer.

Although considered informal, anyways is not wrong. In fact, there is much precedent in English for the adverbial -s suffix, which was common in Old and Middle English and survives today in words such as towards, once, always, and unawares. But while these words survive from a period of English in which the adverbial -s was common, anyways is a modern construction (though it is now several centuries old).

Anyways is sometimes useful for creating an informal or colloquial tone, which may be what these writers have in mind:

    Anyways, it?s time to move on. [NY Times]

    Whatever. Home Improvement sucked anyways. [Bleacher Report]

But in writing that is not intended to have a colloquial tone, anyway works in its place?for example:

    Why is Google building a Google phone, anyway? [The Atlantic]

    It can be nearly impossible to see from publicly available data which banks are extending or restructuring loans they believe will one day fail anyway. [Wall Street Journal]

    Anyway, I think it?s pretty hard to make a bad Hurley episode. [Chicago Tribune]

It is considered vulgar and it is not a real word.  I assume you comprehend the use of that term better than you previously demonstrated grammar skills (or lack thereof).  Carry on!

I am on the mailing list for JPJ Arena and got the presale info for (Broadway show) Sister Act.  I have no idea in hell if anyone here is into that sort of thing but if one were and they should happen to go to the ticket page right now, they could get in on the presale by using an offer code that is an article of clothing that nuns wear on their heads.  (I think Rush is perhaps the most horrible thing to ever come out of Canuckia.)

I am really disappointed RatBastard stopped mentioning bands as asides in every post. I thought it was such a fantastic tweaking of everyone. In fact, I sent him this PM which he never responded to, nor applied, which I submit now because I still think it's funny:

I'm not telling you how to post, but I love the "I'm mentioning a band in every post so no one can complain" thing, and I have a slight suggestion. Just once, do one of those posts where the first letter of every word or every line spell something out and have that be the musical message. Like:

Great times were
only

So great because
everyone agreed
embracing our values was important.

But libtard bastards

civility by

Better is subjective.  "I have seen" is correct.  "I seen" is not.  Actually I am surprised that the current generation actually thinks that is correct.  I figure it is all a result of social promotion and such.  It appears that in the current education system students get promoted each year unless they kill another student (unless the student in question has a pretty good excuse in which case he is merely a product of his environment and nothing is his fault).  There is so little emphasis on actually obtaining an education in the public school system any more that it is rather sad.

Incredible photography from 1964 Japan...rebellious youth in the wake of Beatlemania. To me the energy in these photos is totally punk rock. Amazing stuff.

I love Japan and the awesome people that live there.

I also like this kid, who may or may not be Japanese.

Walkonby headed to NY this spring:

(http://www.moma.org/images/dynamic_content/exhibition_page/109488.jpg?1405024068)

The Museum of Modern Art presents a retrospective of the multifaceted work of composer, musician, and artist Björk. The exhibition draws from more than 20 years of the artist?s daring and adventurous projects and her seven full-length albums?from Debut (1993) to Biophilia (2011)?to chronicle her career through sound, film, visuals, instruments, objects, costumes, and performance. The installation will present a narrative, both biographical and imaginatively fictitious, cowritten by Björk and the acclaimed Icelandic writer Sjón. Björk?s collaborations with video directors, photographers, fashion designers, and artists will be featured, and the exhibition culminates with a newly commissioned, immersive music and film experience conceived and realized with director Andrew Thomas Huang and 3-D design leader Autodesk.

I could do away with all the Spanish speaking content channels, all the endless list music channels, and all the movie channels.  Bottom line is that we really should be able to buy service with a set number of channels but not specific channels.  I may want a 50 channel package with my particular 50 channels while other might want 175 channels with very little crossover to those that I want to have.  Its kind of like going to the grocery store.  I don't want to have to buy 350 assorted canned good in order to get one  can each of chicken noodle soup, tomato paste, and black eye peas (see what I did there)...

Kosmo: adding to my Pivot related weirdness, Comcast responded via email to a request I put in thru their site about adding Pivot. (Again, I do not get it in SD or HD.) They said while they have no plans to add it in my part of the country at this time, they do have it elsewhere and have made PivotOD (in HD) available on all Comcast Xfinity OnDemand stations.

Which is weird but great. Maybe you can request FIOS add the HD versions to your FIOS OD?

I agree that the days of bundles are soon to coming to an end and people will be able to get channels a la carte but the "any 50 stations for $xx" model isn't going to happen. Not all channels are even price wise. ESPN =/= Fox Business News as far as carriage fees go.

Pivot HD was there all along, it was just in the next level up in packages... Which after all my moaning I ended getting when i re-upped my agreement, along with faster fios, etc, for about what I was paying before.  Had to add to Starz back, because in the words of Kosmette, there was no way she was going to miss her pirates (Black Sails) and men in kilts (Outlander).

My current beef is that i have to pay a  Regional Sports Networks fee for channels I will never watch but just happen to be in the package.  I find this explanation BS as it's basically oh look at us the poor "billionaires"  who own sports teams  and greedy universities are sticking it to us, so we get to pass along to consumers.

"This monthly fee helps to cover the rising cost of delivering regional collegiate and professional sports programming to subscribers. "

I find Frank Deford pretty useless these days on Morning Edition, but have to agree with his statement that our cable fees paid the EPSN, etc allow them to just go  buy content and then make money via advertising.  They produce little original content...

So much of this stuff you can figure other ways of getting... if you don't care about sports you really don't need cable...with the internet/netflix/DVDs you can live a happy life without cable...

Its sports where they get you.. and they know it...this is why the new service where people can get ESPN without cable is a big deal...

None of those people would have achieved their fame without the Les Paul!? Didn't Hendrix start off on a Strat?

Also, why the hell is Lenny Kravitz jammed in there?! And Sheryl Crow!? Doesn't she play like only acoustic guitars or something. Jimmy Page should have been the first name dropped in that article.

Regardless, very cool. That thing it going to go for millions. I was never a huge fan of Fender, but I've come to love Telecasters, but the Les Paul is THEE rock and roll guitar. At least to me. I just remember Jimmy Page, Bob Marley and Slash always using them. I still want one!

At close to 60 the effects of the chemical experimentation of the 70s has started kicking in pretty hard.  As a result I have no, wait what was I talking about?  Oh never mind.  :)  I am trying to recall who it was I had two conversations with, one recent the other a while ago.  Looking for the following two people to PM me please...

1) (Maybe hutch?) We discussed some older LP albums that i have that I'll give to you.

2) (No idea in hell who this one was!)  We had discussed the Motorhead t-shirt that Dave Grohl gave me at the FF show several years ago.

I'll be checking my mailbox to see if I get a response from either of you.

I am actually pretty skeptical that 11 year olds were aware -- on an All Star team, not a team that'd played together all year -- that some of the kids, who they may have met just a few weeks before this, lived on the other side of an imaginary dividing line the kids never knew about to begin with. I played Little League; I had no idea where the district boundaries were.

I mean, it should still 100% get stripped away from this team but I default to "the kids didn't know" until I see evidence otherwise. Occam's razor.

color me skeptical that the kids didn't know....

the kids didn't know where they lived? :)
I am actually pretty skeptical that 11 year olds were aware -- on an All Star team, not a team that'd played together all year -- that some of the kids, who they may have met just a few weeks before this, lived on the other side of an imaginary dividing line the kids never knew about to begin with. I played Little League; I had no idea where the district boundaries were.

I mean, it should still 100% get stripped away from this team but I default to "the kids didn't know" until I see evidence otherwise. Occam's razor.

It was NOT an all star team. That's the point.  It was a team built out of the all stars, played together all year, and then played in a playoff that was for non-stacked teams.

I was under the impression the time period that the all stars played together was significantly shorter than a year, but I am probably mistaken. I still maintain that virtually no 11 year olds know the Little League district boundary.

If one of the kids was getting shipped in from 3 hours away, then OK, but absent some smoking gun I do not believe the kids knew in some widespread way that the lineup was ginned up.

I live right next to a LL complex.  The coaches, staff, and players all know full well who is and is not eligible to play.  The sad part is that the typical LL dad in many areas is some washed up never was ball player who is trying to re-live his missed youth by forcing his kid to take a the games way too seriously.

Again this was NOT an all-star team.  (In essence it turned out to be one because of the illegal players.)  The LL WS is made up of teams that are regular teams that play together all season.  At the end of the season they are district, are, region, etc playoffs all the way up to the finals in Williamsport PA.  NONE of the teams are all=start teams.  What this team did was break that rule and created an all-star team by picking kids out of many regions (or whatever their term is for the bounded areas) and proceeded through the LL WS with that stacked team.

What does it have to do with it? He basically tells a story about being poor and posits that the same adults who were cheating are probably heroes to the kids.

Hey I do very well for having lysdexia!  I made it through four years at VCU graduating with honors, SA Business/Accounting and passed the CPA exam.  The thing I have most trouble with is rambling drawn out diatribe like the article being discussed.  I can read technical manuals, programming guides, and most anything that is structured so to speak.  When it comes to reading something where you have to keep track of the story being related, I get lost.  Back when I actually tried to rad for pleasure, I would ending basically reading the entire book 3-4 times.  As I read, after about 1 - 1½ pages or so I lose track of who did what to who, when, and why.  I end up going back not quite to the beginning of where I started up and re-reading.  My mind will add and delete words randomly as well, which can make reading a novel very difficult.  Last book I read for pleasure was the Lord Of The Rings back in the late 70's early 80's while I was on active duty in the Marine Corps.

Just got home from a quick overnight trip to Baltimore.  My buddy Jeff wanted to go to the casino and asked me to ride with him.  I grabbed $700 out of the bank and off we went.  When I got home I had $2300 (and had paid Jeff $300 I owed him). Hitting a straight flush at 200:1 on a $10 bet is a good thing!

They did an interview not too long after Alive 2007 and said they were already working on another tour and that the pyramid was retired. They said their new live show would be better. But ever since 2007 they haven't teased anything in the slightest.

I had a weird experience on Saturday when I was out for brunch that has kept me laughing for days and I decided I would share on here since I typed it all up for one of my favorite columns Behind Closed Ovens (http://kitchenette.jezebel.com/tag/behind-closed-ovens). I was seated at the bar and a few minutes later, a middle-aged gentleman was seated next to me.

The bartender/waitress asks the gentleman if she can get his drink order and he orders a mimosa, then quickly changes his mind and requests a gin and tonic. Obviously, my ears perked right up. The waitress asks if he had a gin preference and the gentleman said, "Tito's, please." Now, its important to establish for this story, the man pronounced this in the absolute oddest way possible. He would say TEEEEE-tohs, easily 25% louder than any other word in his sentences and with a look of pure, unadulterated joy on his face as though "Tito's" was the literal elixir of the Gods.

The waitress corrects the man, "Uh, Tito's is a vodka, actually," and the guy is absolutely incredulous. "Seriously? I've been ordering gin and tonics for years and always get Tito's, are you sure?" The waitress ensures him Tito's is definitely a vodka and asks if that's what he wants. He nods in approval.

The waitress starts pouring the vodka in a tumbler and the guy literally stands up and goes, "What are you doing!? I asked for Tito's! I knew you didn't know what you're talking about. Tito's gin!" The waitress looks confused (as do I) and shows him the bottle, pointing with one finger to where it clearly says "Tito's Handmade Vodka." Again, the guy looks completely stunned but instead of relenting he continues to increase his volume.

"I don't want Tito's vodka, I want the Tito's gin! Why would you put vodka in a gin and tonic!? How long have you been working in a bar, is this a joke?! Get me the Tito's!!" The waitress apologizes and tells him again, they do not have Tito's gin (she politely leaves out that such a thing does not exist) and asks if she could use a different gin. "What are you talking about! Do you have rocks in your head? Every bar in the world has Tito's gin, it's probably the most famous gin on Earth!" At this point he is openly gesticulating trying to include other customers in his mockery of this waitress' lack of knowledge of his imaginary gin.

The waitress' jaw just drops and he finally bellows, "It's right there! Just get the Tito's," and starts pointing at the liquor selection. She turns and tries to figure out which bottle he is indicating and he starts doing the whole "a little more to your left, up two" type thing.

When he said "with the red logo" I realized what he wanted about a second before the waitress did and held my breathe. I wanted so badly to have my belief confirmed and when her hand fell on the bottle and he went "YES! THE TITO'S!!" I was in a state of absolute comedic ecstasy. As she turned around revealing the bottle to the entire bar section, I couldn't hold back the laughter anymore and keeled over right in my seat.

"Sir, this is Tanqueray actually, is this what you want?"

He immediately sat back down on his bar stool and, without any sense of embarrassment, said at a normal volume, "We call that Tito's where I'm from."

tl; dr - Man calls Tanqueray "Tito's" repeatedly and acts like a buffoon.

That article has absolutely nothing to do with this cheating scandal at all. It's completely off topic and his point that baseball is expensive is so obvious it didn't need stating.

uh oh...we got one guy who won't read and one guy who can't read.

Sounds like a drunken loser dad that lives vicariously through his athlete children. He was probably jealous that the city kids crushed his son's shitty all-star team. I knew way too many idiots like this guy growing up.

Who run Bartertown? (http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/iljp/?pfm=HP_FeaturedProducts_7_iljp&cpg=cj&ref=&CJURL=&CJID=2617611)

Have you noticed your child likes to play with cars, but in a very violent and anarchistic way? Do they set up elaborate chases complete with explosions and insane vehicular stunts? Think your young child could be the next Max Rockatansky (commonly known as Mad Max)? Well, it's time to find out with these Power Wheels Desert Drifters!

Power Wheels Desert Drifters are the Power Wheels you coveted as a child, but all done up Mad Max-style - complete with spikes, spears, and other automatic weapons (of the foam dart variety). Your kids can pretend to be rogue gangs, by-the-book or disillusioned MFP officers, or just regular folks trying desperately to survive in a dystopian version of the future Land Down Under. These Power Wheels Desert Drifters have a top forward speed of 7.5 mph and can take quite a lot of hits (and driving) before needing a battery recharge. That's right, with Power Wheels Desert Drifters, your kids won't be fighting over gasoline - they'll be fighting over the extension cord. Just make sure they understand who runs Bartertown. YOU run Bartertown!

yep, but not really interested in hanging with a bunch of stinky trust fund hippies...let alone listen to the music
the only way that was bearable in the past was ingesting copious amounts of sunshine in a bag...and I've kinda outgrew that
(what's nice is Phish and Dead fans are not a protected class so I can endlessly make fun of them...although karma is a bitch  :o )

This is, admittedly, a weird distinction for me to make, but if I'm buying tickets to an event and a boardie asked me to get them one as well because they could not be online, I would not consider it any sort of big deal. But if someone asked me to buy them a ticket to an event I was not going to, I would consider it totally beyond all bounds of common decency. Which is ridiculous because its a totally inconsequential imposition to me either way. It just would FEEL different.

I should've been clear in my original post that I in no way, shape, or form would want you to assist me in this process as I wouldn't want to give you any of my personal information and unfortunately that would be a necessity in this engagement.

I'm a multiple browser type of person.... So on my Andriod I use Firefox primarily for this site and for most of my browsing I force the the forum into WAP mode so it's only text, by bookmarking this link

http://forum.930.com/index.php?board=1.0;wap2

But will often also view the forum with Firefox in regular mode, because of the pictures that get linked too...

you can reply, just can't quote...  and i sometimes have both wap2 mode and regular mode in separate tabs so i can  revisit a thread to see the pictures when i'm guessin' they are there.. plus you get the cool retro cellphone icon in your posts when replying in wap mode

http://forum.930.com/index.php?topic=470.msg404313#msg404313

the other downside to wap2 mode is when hutch and julian start frantically quoting each other it gets hard to follow the conversation.

Ok...I preface this with no endorsement or experience

But I was a little shocked to find that Bayer sold this in Sears Roebuck catalogs

(http://pzrservices.typepad.com/vintageadvertising/images/2007/06/23/bottle_of_heroin_2.jpg)
A heroin kit was available for around $1.50 and came with a syringe, two needles and a carrying case.  Children were given Cocaine Toothache Drops that sold for 15 cents a pack.  Asthma was thought to be cured by inhaling the smoke or vapor of opium.

ok.  I feel such an explanation, is adequate.  i wonder if in 50 years, will we look back at all the ads for every prescription drug to fix everything, in every magazine or television ad that attack us daily . . . in the same sheer levels of horror as we do at such things which are apart of our past, like heroin from sears, or cocaine for babies?

We don't have top wait 50 years.  A year or two seems adequate.  Have you not seen the myriad of commercials by the leeches of society, oops I mean lawyers, blaring "Did you or anyone you know take (fill in drug du jour here) and have suffer serious injury or death (as if we could experience death and still be listening to the ad), all 1-FUK-DRG-COMP?  The sad part is that while everyone 'just wants whats coming to them", they bitch with their very next breath about the cost of medical care and prescription drugs.  Makes you shake your head in amazement...

How random is this?

11,435 songs on my ipod, and a Saturday night drive home from a party resulted in two songs in a row being played from shuffle with direct reference to condoms:

1. Drive By Truckers "The Living Bubba"

I aint got no political agenda
Aint got no message for the youth of America
Except "Wear a rubber and be careful who you screw"
And come see me next Friday 'cause I got another show

2. Prince "Little Red Corvette"

I guess I must be dumb
'Cause you had a pocketful of horses
Trojan and some of them used
But it was Saturday night
 I guess that makes it alright
And you say what have I got to lose?
And honey I say...

So like I think sometimes it pays off to have kids.  On our cruise my son Steven hit a royal flush at the Ultimate Texas HoldEm table game.  Even with a minimum bet he won about $3000.00.  Tonight he booked another cruise for all of us with his winnings going to the Grand Caymans, Jamaica, Cozumel, and one other stop that I can't recall.  So next year in April y'all with have another week of peace and quiet with me here stirring up the rabble!  :)

"Depraved-heart murder, also known as depraved-indifference murder, is an American legal term for an action where a defendant acts with a "depraved indifference" to human life and where such act results in a death. In a depraved-heart murder a defendant commits an act even though he knows his act runs an unusually high risk of causing death or serious bodily harm to someone else. If the risk of death or bodily harm is great enough, ignoring it demonstrates a "depraved indifference" to human life and the resulting death is considered to have been committed with malice aforethought aka premeditation.[1] In most states, depraved-heart killings constitute second-degree murder.[2]" (da wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depraved-heart_murder))

"Depraved-heart murder, also known as depraved-indifference murder, is an American legal term for an action where a defendant acts with a "depraved indifference" to human life and where such act results in a death. In a depraved-heart murder a defendant commits an act even though he knows his act runs an unusually high risk of causing death or serious bodily harm to someone else. If the risk of death or bodily harm is great enough, ignoring it demonstrates a "depraved indifference" to human life and the resulting death is considered to have been committed with malice aforethought aka premeditation.[1] In most states, depraved-heart killings constitute second-degree murder.[2]" (da wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depraved-heart_murder))

you're welcome.


Thanks but I had already done that on my own.  I figured anyone else who was interested would have done the same! :)

BTW I have no knowledge of he actual facts in this case, but if the officers involved did handcuff and shackle this man, put him in the back of a van face down on the floor not secured, and then drove around with him back there (as rumors have it), they are probably in big trouble.

of course she's going to charge them...does she want to be reeected? can you imagine the pressure on her to do so? imagine if she hadn't.... Baltimore burning down anew...what i find strange is how little time it took her to make the decision..

1) factual in that they are reporting a known phenomenon and they interview credible witnesses, yes.  are you trying to be all edgy and point out that we can't trust anything written by a major news outlet?
2) wikipedia is not a solid source for analysis, opinions, etc.  but for descriptions of events, it is serviceable.  there is a Wiki article on boiling - are you going to question the existence of boiling liquids because someone offers up wikipedia as a source of explanation?

c'mon, RB.  you can do better than that.

Alleged incidents

Baltimore

In 1980, 58-year old John Wheatfall broke his neck and became paralyzed during a ride to Baltimore's Southwestern District. Wheatfall was seated on a bench with his hands cuffed behind his back, when he was thrown to the floor and hit his head against the wall. Baltimore police vans did not have seatbelts at the time. The officer driving stated he had swerved to avoid an oncoming car, and an investigation did not find evidence of negligence. Wheatfall sued for $3 million, and was awarded $20,000 for his injury.[1]

In 2004, Jeffrey Alston was awarded $39 million after becoming paralyzed from the neck down as a result of a ride in a Baltimore police van.[1][2][7]

In 2005, Dondi Johnson Sr., a plumber, was arrested in Baltimore for public urination. Apparently uninjured at the time of his arrest, Johnson emerged from the police van paralyzed with a broken neck, and died two weeks later from pneumonia resulting from his injuries. Johnson stated he had been thrown face-first into the interior of the van during a sharp turn. His family sued the Baltimore police and were awarded $7.4 million, which was reduced to $219,000 under a cap imposed by Maryland state law.[1][7]

In 2012, Christine Abbott, a 27-year-old assistant librarian at Johns Hopkins University, was arrested at a party she was hosting at her home in Baltimore's Hampden neighborhood. She was handcuffed and put into a police van. Abbott later sued the officers in federal court, describing her ride as "like a roller coaster", and accusing the officers of braking short and taking "wide, fast turns" which slammed her into the walls. Police acknowledged that Abbott was not buckled in during her ride.[1][2][7]

The "rough ride" practice has been suggested as a factor in the 2015 death of Freddie Gray.[1][7] Gray was arrested on April 12, and was conscious and able to speak before being placed into a police van.[1] Following a 30 minute ride, Gray was comatose and not breathing.[1] He was treated at the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center of the University of Maryland Hospital, where his spinal cord was found to be 80% severed, an injury typical of a serious car accident.[1][7] Gray died a week after his arrest.[1] Medical experts say Gray may have sustained a neck injury during his arrest which could have been exacerbated during his transport.[1][7] Police acknowledged that Gray was not buckled in, contrary to departmental policy.[1][2][7]

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

Broken glass everywhere
People pissin' on the stairs, you know they just don't care
I can't take the smell, can't take the noise
Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice
Rats in the front room, roaches in the back
Junkies in the alley with the baseball bat
I tried to get away but I couldn't get far
Cause a man with a tow truck repossessed my car

[Chorus]
Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

Standin' on the front stoop hangin' out the window
Watchin' all the cars go by, roarin' as the breezes blow
Crazy lady, livin' in a bag
Eatin' outta garbage pails, used to be a fag hag
Said she'll dance the tango, skip the light fandango
A Zircon princess seemed to lost her senses
Down at the peep show watchin' all the creeps
So she can tell her stories to the girls back home
She went to the city and got social security
She had to get a pimp, she couldn't make it on her own

[Chorus]

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

My brother's doin' bad, stole my mother's TV
Says she watches too much, it's just not healthy
All My Children in the daytime, Dallas at night
Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight
The bill collectors, they ring my phone
And scare my wife when I'm not home
Got a bum education, double-digit inflation
Can't take the train to the job, there's a strike at the station
Neon King Kong standin' on my back
Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac
A mid-range migraine, cancered membrane
Sometimes I think I'm goin' insane
I swear I might hijack a plane!

[Chorus]

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

My son said, Daddy, I don't wanna go to school
Cause the teacher's a jerk, he must think I'm a fool
And all the kids smoke reefer, I think it'd be cheaper
If I just got a job, learned to be a street sweeper
Or dance to the beat, shuffle my feet
Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps
Cause it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny
You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey
They pushed that girl in front of the train
Took her to the doctor, sewed her arm on again
Stabbed that man right in his heart
Gave him a transplant for a brand new start
I can't walk through the park cause it's crazy after dark
Keep my hand on my gun cause they got me on the run
I feel like a outlaw, broke my last glass jaw
Hear them say "You want some more?"
Livin' on a see-saw

[Chorus]

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

A child is born with no state of mind
Blind to the ways of mankind
God is smilin' on you but he's frownin' too
Because only God knows what you'll go through
You'll grow in the ghetto livin' second-rate
And your eyes will sing a song called deep hate
The places you play and where you stay
Looks like one great big alleyway
You'll admire all the number-book takers
Thugs, pimps and pushers and the big money-makers
Drivin' big cars, spendin' twenties and tens
And you'll wanna grow up to be just like them, huh
Smugglers, scramblers, burglars, gamblers
Pickpocket peddlers, even panhandlers
You say I'm cool, huh, I'm no fool
But then you wind up droppin' outta high school
Now you're unemployed, all non-void
Walkin' round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd
Turned stick-up kid, but look what you done did
Got sent up for a eight-year bid
Now your manhood is took and you're a Maytag
Spend the next two years as a undercover fag
Bein' used and abused to serve like hell
Til one day, you was found hung dead in the cell
It was plain to see that your life was lost
You was cold and your body swung back and forth
But now your eyes sing the sad, sad song
Of how you lived so fast and died so young so

[Chorus]

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

Celebrating my birthday tonight by taking my daughter to Noodle&Company for dinner (using free birthday coupon). She's stoked.

Y'all are so rude: he announced his birthday and you go off on tangents, all you need to say is: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
Thanks!

The strip club was great. We had about 30 people on our party bus and I think more of the women got lap dances than the guys lol. Super fun.

I pity whoever had to wash down that mobile STD delivery bus after DFA and his fellow coked-up, shit-for-brains party bros and their anally-prolapsed skank dates got done with it for the night.

He's been trying to get a rise out of me for years. He bases me on our one intereaction at a Muse show about 8 years ago now. It's fine. He's a internet shit face who probably has no real friends. So. It's fine. You don't remember when he told people if they ever saw me in person that I should be shot, do you? Because he did that. Yeah. Real charmer.

Anyway. What the fuck, Caps? The Caps have lost on my ACTUAL birthday twice since 09. Or within a day or two more than double that. And now we're headed to the 3rd time in 6 years. Why do people even watch sports in this town...

I said, in an article filled with flowery language, that if you ever tried to cross the border into Julian's America, the guards on the tower should shoot you on sight. Seeing as (1) Julian's America isn't a real country, (2) as its not a real country there is no border for you to cross, and (3) not being a real country it doesn't have armed guards, it was pretty obvious to everyone with an IQ above 70 that it was poetic license. Its called painting a word picture. No sane person read that and actually thought I was advocating you being shot as you entered a fictional country. It's like if I called you a couch potato: I don't actually think you're a tuberous starch growing out of a loveseat.

Anyway. What the fuck, Caps? The Caps have lost on my ACTUAL birthday twice since 09. Or within a day or two more than double that. And now we're headed to the 3rd time in 6 years. Why do people even watch sports in this town...
They really have to blow this team up if they lose game 7, because they're clearly not going to ever hire a coach with any authority.

It was just "we're going to be at this show" him, miss p, and I? I think? I told her what I'd be wearing and she told me what she'd be wearing. We spotted each other. Said hi. Chatted for a couple minutes and went about our business. Ever since then he's said everything he says about me.

@ Julian: I don't remember the post, I just remember people messaing me saying they couldn't believe what you said and I generally avoid your threads because I don't find them funny. No offense. As for the Caps I think Trotz is the best/most well rounded coaching approach they've had. Nothing needs to be blown up. More time under his watch I think is nothing but good for this team. Either way it'll be extremely frustating to see them choke out of the playoffs yet again.

You may have went about your business, sir, but I assure you Miss P and myself spent the rest of the concert gagging and completely horrified by your body odor which we think may have constituted chemical warfare and therefore a violation of the Geneva Convention.

@ Julian: I don't remember the post, I just remember people messaing me saying they couldn't believe what you said and I generally avoid your threads because I don't find them funny.
So your version of events has shifted from "do you remember when Julian did this... because it happened" to "I didn't actually read it but somehow intuited it occurred from second-hand comments others made." Hey, Smackie, what do they call that in court? Oh, yeah, hearsay.

As for the Caps I think Trotz is the best/most well rounded coaching approach they've had. Nothing needs to be blown up. More time under his watch I think is nothing but good for this team. Either way it'll be extremely frustating to see them choke out of the playoffs yet again.
I think Trotz is somewhat overrated but I'll grant you he's better than the AHL rabble the Caps have tried to get away with before him. (How Bruce Boudreau has a job, I'll never know.)

The Caps sort of remind me of the early 90's Red Wings where its all about offense and no one really plays much defense and fans convince themselves of things like Mike Green being a good player despite the fact he's terrible at, you know, actually defending other people. And in Detroit, they didn't win anything until they got a coach to come in who was bigger than Yzerman and Federov and say, "look, this is not about winning MVPs and Art Rosses, you actually have to play fucking playoff hockey," and Bowman got through to them and I see no one getting through to OV and this core. I don't see any coach who could get through to them actually getting the job because Washington is one of those weird sports towns where if there's a coach/player dispute the fanbase will never, ever, ever side with the coach no matter how right they are. A Mike Babcock will never sign up for that circus. The Caps could never win a Stanley Cup and 39 year old OV could make insane demands about coaches and they'll get honored because "#8 Overchkin" will always resonate more with a huge % of the fanbase more than the Washington Capitals on the front.

Saying "I don't remember the post" doesn't mean "I didn't read it", because I did. But it was something dumb on a fucking message board almost a decade ago. So, yeah, I don't remember exactly what it said. I knew you would though.  Either way it's really stupid and I was just informing wml7.

I just don't understand how people can say no one has gotten through to Ovi or the core. All he's ever done is adapt his play [and stayed at the top of his game and this league for the better part of a decade] and never complained. Trotz not adjusting in this series has become maddening and last night he panicked and finally swithced up the lines. At the same time, their game got them up 3-1. Somehow they've always managed to get back into or stay in a series. Yesterday they pushed super hard for the 3rd period and it showed and they had the Rags on the ropes. I get it's hard to sustain that effort for the whole game, but the Caps are bigger, hit harder, and can keep up with that so called fast team. Maybe they're just in their head. Holtby stole games for them and in their 3 wins they had 5 goals. Holtby can't spin on his head every game. We'll see. It looks like both coaches are gonna go all out this last game. I mean... they have to.

She was on (cult favorite) Veronica Mars and (is still on) House Of Lies. She also did voice acting on Frozen and  Gossip Girl.

That said, she is not really an A-list actress, so to answer RatBastard's question, he gets a pass for not knowing this one too.

Caps were eliminated the second they signed Ovechkin, a player with perhaps the most pure talent of anyone in the league but one of the laziest, most one-way, no class, no respect for the game players ever to lace up the skates.  The Caps would be far better off trading him away to some team dumb enough to give them a boat load of hard working two-way grinders and a ton of draft picks.  Chances are that some tam would be foolish enough to go for it.

I'm not getting into no class, no respect for the game because that's the kind of ad homonym non-sequitur I loathe but OV is undeniably lazy defensively and a one-way player. I do think he'd work better in another market where he actually had to follow a veteran lineup that knew how to win.

The Caps would have to get a king's ransom but if Buffalo offers the #2 pick, Bogosian, a future 1st rounder and (Kane or Ennis or another 1st rounder), you have to at least have that conversation.

What part of it do you find to be so crazy?  He is no doubt a player with a lot of pure talent.  He does not use all of his abilities proven by his one-way play.  He is great as a cherry picker on the power play but has little else in his game at all.  Players like that are almost always a cancer to their teams because no one will man up and say what needs to be said, that being that pure talent in a lazy player does no team any good.  Washington would have a lot better hockey team if they built around a core group of solid players who skated hard at both ends of the ice every shift.  Not one guy with great talent and a history of using but a small fraction of his abilities when on the ice.

I still think he is a classless player, but agreed on the package trade deal being a smart move for Washington.  If the powers that be could broker a trade for a 2-4 solid two-way players and some draft picks, the Caps would be stupid not to go for it.

What does that taste like? I love Old Bay, but hate the Herr's Old Bay Crab Chips, as they have a strong vinegar taste... I prefer the Utz Crab Chips.  I would give the cheese curls a whirl as long as it is not like eating vinegar.

You know that commercial for hot sauce where the old lady says 'I put that shit on everything'?  I'm kinda like that with Old Bay.

The cheese straights are great.  The OB adheres to them much better than it does to the chips, which can give you a mouthful of salty OB at times.

Any personal views of anyone on the military, their role in the world today, armed conflict, or anything related, any time I hear some fucking reporter say that Memorial Day is to honor those who 'made the ultimate sacrifice' I want to punch them right in the fucking face.  Those men and women did not sacrifice anything.  They fucking DIED.  They gave their lives.  They had their head blown off, stepped on a land mine, got hit with a grenade, or caught a hunk of shrapnel just so the news creating asshats could sit in those comfy chairs and sugar coat the reality.  To hear someone use that term just so they can soften the fact that someone died, to use that term because it makes them feel better about someone else giving their life, fuck them.  Right, wrong, justified, or unjustified, they fucking died, they did not 'make the ultimate sacrifice'.  So to all those so called reporters out there fuck you and fuck you and fuck you.

Thanks I feel better now.

Not commenting on the subject matter but when I saw Walkie's post I thought to myself, "I wonder how long it will be before RatBastard shows up with a completely non-sequitur defense of a xenophobic anti-government loon?" What's amazing is that you were LITERALLY one second away from it being 12 hours on the dot. I mean, if we set the O/U at 12 hours, people who took the over just had the baddest beat in the history of bad beats.

Which is, admittedly, mildly interesting at best, but I just had to point it out. 1 second!

And I did not do as you said ever, let alone somewhere around the twelve hour mark.  So you are still waiting for that.  It will be a long wait.  IOW the overs would have won.   Had I replied within the content, it would have simply been to point out that this is standard practice (good or bad aside) for politicians in our system and is not limited to the particular politician in question.  Further I would not have said a thing to defend anyone.  So basically you are 100% wrong on all counts (except of course in your own
megalomaniacal mind).

If anyone needs employment in the Columbia, MD area...
http://www.myfoxdc.com/story/29343345/professional-cuddling
Quote
Rob Andrews, his wife Tiffany and a business partner plan to open a cuddle store called Tender Embrace in the Columbia area sometime this year.

The idea came to them because of difficult times spent apart when Rob was deployed while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps.

For as little as $40, you can cuddle with a stranger for a relaxing and stress free session.

The company lists Double Cuddles for $120 and an Overnight Cuddle session for $500.

There is Entertainment Cuddle that includes movies or video games with snacks or beverages.

The company says it's completely safe, platonic and therapeutic and their website has pictures and biographies of the three cuddlers who are already on staff.

Some of the rules include arriving for your session recently showered, without perfume or cologne and try to have fresh breath.

Under the Frequently Asked Questions section online, the company addresses what to do is a "natural reaction" occurs.

The cuddler may request a change in position to make sure the session stays platonic and safe.

If you are interested in becoming a cuddler - they are hiring!

Race relations in this country will always suck as long as there are powerful people who can only keep their power by ensuring that these issues are not resolved.  Those people do everything they can to divide society, disempower the very people they say they are fighting for, and keep those people thinking that they are week powerless victims who have no ability to better themselves.

interesting, hadn't thought of it that way.  so getting rid of the likes of the NAACP would move race relations forward?

Nice try at back stepping, you were the one who mentioned that organization in the current discussion.  However if you read my post again you will see that I was talking about people, not organizations.  Surely you are aware that many people who are in positions of power in this country do everything they can to maintain that power and control.  This is true across the political and societal spectrum.  A good number of them go to the lengths of making sure that the people they are supposedly saving, redeeming, or improving life for perpetually need them to fulfill those roles, and they do so with no concern for the well being of their constituents.  I am sure that if you really gave it some thought it would be quite obvious who in our society does this.  I'm moving on.  I'm not playing your silly games.

Your retort is not only laughable and absurd.  My post had noting to do with any given party or segment of society.  The problem I posted about exists across all social and political platforms.  Anyone who denies that people like I described exist are as much of the problem as those very people are.  You condescending stereotypes are as much bigotry and hatred as the as the racism that you are ranting about.  You just showed your true colors and it is not a very pretty picture.

HUTCH:  I found the albums.  Looks like somewhere between 60 and 80 all told.  Truth be told I can hardly believe that i actually owned some of these LPs.  Anyway they are almost all space fillers at best as far as being collectible goes, but you are absolutely 100% welcome to the lot if you want them.

I do think it's kind of both. "Sys" and "admin" are accepted abbreviations for "systems" and "administrator" obviously. "Sysadmin" is a recognized portmanteau of the two abbreviations, agreed. But "sys admin," non-combined is obviously still two valid abbreviations that make sense.

It's like arguing "sex expert" isn't a valid term because "sexpert" exists; they're both valid ways of expressing the same thing.

Solution:  Eliminate minimum wage laws so employers have to compete in a free market system to pay what employees are really worth rather than be able to pass it off as paying what the laws says they have to pay.  The minimum wage law is where your collusion lies.

people have been booked for less.  spitting on someone can get you charged with assault:

Quote
Battery: Act Requirement

The criminal act required for battery boils down to an offensive or harmful contact. This can range anywhere from the obvious battery where a physical attack such as a punch or kick is involved, to even minimal contact in some cases. Generally, a victim doesn't need to be injured or harmed for a battery to have occurred, so long as an offensive contact is involved. In a classic example, spitting on an individual doesn't physically injure them, but it nonetheless can constitute offensive contact sufficient for a battery. Whether a particular contact is considered offensive is usually evaluated from the perspective of the "ordinary person".

Fromt: http://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-charges/assault-and-battery-overview.html

while you might disagree, methinks that the ordinary person would perceive a pie to the face is offensive.

There is no such thing as a 'rebel' flag.  The flag you are speaking of is the Confederate battle flag.  The actual national flag of the Confederate States of America had several versions, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.  Of those the 1st had three variations containing differing numbers of stars as the Confederacy grew.  The 2nd and 3rd national CSA flags did incorporate a smaller version of the battle flag within their design.

Really don't understand what's wrong with wanting people to be healthy. Being a big fat shit is bad for your health. The country has unreal standards for women, and everyone should be proud of who they are as an individual and not some mindless zombie molded by corporations, but that doesn't mean you can roll around on a scooter just gaining insane amounts of weight because "you're happy" with who you are.

He's gained 14 pounds in 3 months, primarily by stopping his vegetarian diet and switching to a daily lunch that is grotesque in total calories, calories from fat, and sodium. The fact that he wanted to this indicates he's an idiot. These are the actions of an idiot. I put no stock in how an idiot "feels" about something.

Long term contracts for goalies are almost always terrible ideas, especially at 6+ million.

I will put $5 on Braden Holtby not being a starting goaltender in the NHL in 5 years. Not because of anything against Braden Holtby, that's just how it goes for goalies.

Nutritional info on Carnitas Burrito with what I'd assume are normal toppings (certainly nowhere close to everything or double anything)
(https://slimgur.com/images/2015/07/21/7754c02dd28acff8cf889e3d86e65ef2.jpg)

Hmm... considering for a person on a 2,000 calorie diet that's close to 70% of their daily calories, 1.5 times the amount of recommended saturated fat, and 125% of their recommended sodium intake, I'll go with "foe," actually.

But yes, it doesn't have any Monocalcium Phosphate and because of that, it is de facto healthy and a reasonable lunch choice. *eye roll*

Fabulous.

Hypothetical-average-2,000-calorie-diet person's "lunch" is now only slightly more than 50% of their daily caloric intake, 50% of their recommended daily saturated fat intake, and 25% more sodium than they're supposed to have in their entire day. Again, for lunch. Which is ostensibly one of the three meals (plus small snacks) nutritionists recommend people eat. How perfectly reasonable.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who's exercise regimen isn't standard deviations above mean. You can eat Chipotle every day for lunch because you're a long-distance runner. That's great. My point has always been that the effects of eating something like that daily for lunch for the 99% of the world who aren't professional athletes/log the amount daily calories burned through exercise you do is going to be an overwhelmingly net-negative for that person's weight and health.

The reality that something might work as part of an active NFL player's diet does not make that thing (absent the extremely abnormal circumstances inherent of being an active NFL player) "healthy" or "reasonable" for the general population.

To me that style actually looks like a massive pile of yellow post it notes randomly stuck on the screen with no concern for readability at all.  The flatness of it makes it horrid.  A little bit of texture (for lack of better term) would go a long way towards making it better.  The whole flat web design is really a poor design and highly unprofessional.

I do not think so.  The flat design is very much unreadable, wastes terrible amounts of web space, uses extremely limited real content, .  It could be that most flat designers just do not do a very good job of it.  We both know how some designers think that their job is to impress the web user community with all of the cool coding tricks they know rather than build a site that is easy to navigate and intuitive.

Many of the flat pages fall to a number of faults.  One is that they are often coded a single huge run-on page rather than logically segregated into pages of unique content so to speak.  I have seen some flat sites that are one continuous pages that scrolls on and on and just randomly changes from topic to topic.  Other waste so much screen space that content which (properly designed) would fit onto one or at the most two screens, scrolls on forever and ever (see http://www.cpanel.com a TERRIBLE design).  On that page everything is so big and bulky with so little real content (not a lot of useless self advertising) that I would never even consider using their products.  An even worse page is http://www.sprint.com, I would fire any web designer who even suggested a page a poorly designed as that one.  Not only does that page fall to much of the typical shortcomings of flat design, but the use of those horrid squares/tiles and the clashing colors make it difficult to look at let alone use.

Yes they are 'modern', 'new', and 'the rage', and the 'trend', but none of those mean they are good at all.  While a portion of the web community has started using handheld devices of some sort to browse the web, very few use those exclusively and a majority still use computers most of the time.  It really is very difficult to find the real content on these sites, especially sites such as the cpanel site I referenced above.  The amount of real content on that page could very easilly (and very cleanly as well) be fit on less than one screen, yet in that absolutely horrid design I have to scroll about six pages down to get to any amount of useful data.

I understand that to some scrolling may be easier than touching the screen.  That is not the issue.  The issue is in the implementation of the concept with a totally flat all run together layout.  If designers would do something to make the page more readable and fill it with more content and less fluff, it would be a lot better.  The way a lot of the one page sites are, there is no segregation of content what-so-ever and it literally looks like someone wrote information on a pile of sticky notes and then randomly threw them at the screen with no concern for what landed where.

Take for example a page that has a few flaws that make it damn near useless, Etsy.  Get rid of the big graphic at the top of the page (it adds nothing at all to the page and shoves the first real content almost all the way off of the opening screen, a MAJOR flaw to make users scroll to even get to the first real content), get rid of the "hand" graphic and related content (again it has no value at all and is mere space filler/fluff, more is not always better), and get rid of the "Satisfied Customers", "Passionate Sellers", "Secure Transactions" content (again it adds absolutely nothing to the page but is space filler fluff).

Make those changes and that site is 100% better.  I still do not like the flatness of the site but it would be vastly improved with the clutter and fluff gone.  Designers who code the new flat scheme generally seem to think that adding more content (whether it actually adds to the site or merely clutters it up with fluff) is a good thing.  A well designed page is one where a user can get in, find what he wants, and get on with his day.  Not one where he has to search for every little thing he is looking for such as is often the case with flat designs.  Bottom line is the way they are currently implements, flat design pages are not intuitive at all.

There used to be a guy at my place of employment who stopped to help a broken down motorist on the Beltway, and the guy ended up being hit by a third car, putting him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

And as far as free range goes, call me sexist, but I'd probably be more open to it if I had boys and lived in the country like my brother and I did growing up. But we don't and we don't.

I, personally, agree with the general concept.

To me, the thing that's weird about it is, a few decades ago, that was "parenting." It was the norm. Then people started going cuckoo bananas and we had to make up a term for those parents who went over the top and deviated from the norm ("helicopter parents" et al). There's something about calling it "free range parenting" that makes it seem as though this normal balance between security and not suffocating your kids is now a deviation from the norm, that it is the weird minority opinion. Which, if true, is sad. It's like people who use terms like "fat shaming" and "thin privilege" in an attempt to rebrand what is right as wrong and what's wrong as right.

Kids need to skin their knees, get dirty, play in an abandoned lots, climb tall trees

if a few die, just thinning the heard

For us, I don't think it's a case of helicoptoring vs. free range...I think it's a case of we are both full time working parents, and we want to spend the time we're not working with our kid. I would never turn down a playdate invitation for my kid, but at the same time why would I seek out opportunities to dump her on another parent, or send her off to play alone...when my time with her is already limited?

As far as her preferences, she'd spend 25 hours a day with her parents if she could. i'm sure that won't be the case when she hits teenhood, but for now I'm happy to oblige as much as possible...

I might go as low as 11 or 12. I think by fifth grade she'll be old enough to walk the few blocks home after school on her own . No need to walk t oa park, since she can play on the playground at her school.


At age 9, I think I can provide a better security system than her buddies.

I was definitely riding my bike around the neighborhood at the same age. Kids need to be able to go out and find out what's wrong and what is right. You can tell a kid a million times to be careful but that kid won't be careful until it finally falls down and scrapes its knee and learns for his or herself.

I think that's true for any adult who has yet to have kids. And then some of those thoughts change AGAIN when you actually become a parent, and look at it from the eyes of the adult responsible for the wellbeing of the child, rather than through the eyes of the child.

I call bullshi+ on that

I don't have any stats to back this up, but chicken bones, parents prescriptions, guns in the home, buckets of water, peanuts and bee-stings are much more likely ....but a large degree

Your...and I mean you SF, paranoia about sexual predators is unfounded in statistical reality
I would certainly keep an eye on your relatives more than random people showing up at a park
they are far more likely to sexually assault your kids...probably 50 times more likely

you are worse than nancy grace with all your anecdotal links on some random child abduction
the stats are not with you...just the non-stop news and nancy grace

trust me, the thought of my child being abducted or molested is heinous
but so is getting leukemia or getting hit by a drunk driver

if you are so worried about the .001% of the times something might happen....you really are missing out on living life
best protection you can give your kids is to have self confidence and be exposed to the reality that is outside the front door of the home

and they will not get that if you hover over them and don't let them make decisions

Have any of you checked out Windows 10 yet?  What do you think?  As far as speed it seems really great but the look and feel is pretty damn nasty.  They took away the ability to set the theme (I think that is the term du jour) to anything but fluffy and glitzy with terrible color choices.  The default task bar color is black with (get his) black text and there really is no way to change that without making the entire UI look very harsh and unappealing.  The main thing I do not like is the way they modified the start menu.  There is no way to pin an app to the actual start menu itself other than to add those horrible bulky tiles.  Then the 'all apps' section is sorted and differently and grouped by first letter.  The simple clean list of apps and folders was MUCH easier to use.  They really screwed up the entire start menu.  A big miss.

The UI of Windows 10 kind of looks like a bad Mac clone.  Not that this in and of itself is a bad thing, it just gives me that impression.  They did of course give the entire UI an entirely flat look and feel.  Which makes everything blend and run together.  The title bar (I am not sure if that is the correct term) where the min/max, restore, and close buttons are had been redesigned and is (IMHO) much worse.  First it takes up about three times the amount of space it did before.  Then the close button is this terrible glaring burnt orange color.

If you are into bells and whistles you will love Windows 10.  LOTS of those.  I personally find most of them totally useless.  Be aware, one of the things that is in the user agreement of Windows 10 is that you agree that MS can copy and save every document, image, media file, browsing history, web search, and location that you search form and do with it whatever they want at any time.  You can turn most of that off but it is very cumbersome and you cannot (afaik) disable it completely.

Windows 10 is basically Windows 8.2+.  It you loved Win8 you will adore Win10.  If not, stay with your old OS.

Don't like Edge at all.  It is chrome lite and I despise chrome.  I hate not having the menu at the top where it belongs.  I want to be able to click a menu item to get to my bookmarks, etc.  It is really hard to navigate to any web site without manually entering the URL in the address bar.  The "add a note to this page" feature is useless gee whiz fluff.  I opened up Edge and used it for about 3 minutes before closing it and moving back to FireFox.  The entire setup of all of Win10 has VERY little user configuration options at all.  Almost everything of real use is locked by MS to the way they think it best looks and works.  This has historically been the one thing I really do not like about MS products.

Azaghal doesn't believe in capitalism and has no need for paper money. 

So what is the proper etiquette on cancelling my attendance to a friend's wedding; that is less than a week away?  I had an AC issue when I got back from my vacation, and need to spend money on that before I do something like spend the weekend in Connecticut.  I was thinking I would just message him and say sorry but an emergency came up...

Send him a gift and apologize for not being able to make the wedding, seems simple enough.
AC is fixed (blown capacitor).  It was not that expensive.  I guess I have to still drive to Connecticut this weekend.

What 'movement'?  There is no 'movement'...  If someone is obese (and it is only logical to assume the person in the discussion in question is) then it is medically prudent for a doctor to ask if the patient has any issues related to that obesity.  In fact it would be unethical if not borderline malpractice for the doctor to not ask.  It has nothing to do with whatever the fuck 'shaming' is.  No one shamed anyone.  The person was asked a 100% legitimate question.  If that person is ashamed of their weight that is entire on them and has nothing to do with anyone else.  Maybe it is supposed to be a humorous story and I am just not getting it...

'Vaping' IS smoking.  In fact a lot of those e-cigs are extremely bad for humans.  Several of them use liquid nicotine which is a substance that requires the use of full hazmat gear when handled.  It is a known carcinogen.  While no one fully knows what the full effects of e-cigs are, saying that they are a 'safe' alternative to regular cigs is like saying snorting anthrax is a safe alternative to being hit by an atomic bomb.

I mean, I think it's safe to say it's not good for you. Nicotine is not great. I agree research is ongoing and we really don't "know", but I think it's probably fair to say it's not good for you albeit "less not good" than tobacco.

I do not think it is as simple as saying smoking ecigs is bad/good or safe/unsafe.  There is no control over them at all (whether there should be or not is yet another discussion) so if one device was to solely use 100% water based vapor (aka steam) it would seem that such a device would be harmless.  However once a manufacturer starts adding flavorings and whatever other chemicals to their products you might as well be drinking a glass full of those chemicals.  The example I gave of liquid nicotine is a good case in point.  When my dad was a research engineer for PM, the guys who handled the liquid nicotine were required to wear full hazmat suits even when they were carrying sealed containers of that crap.  Saying we don't know if smoking ecigs is dangerous when many of them use liquid nicotine is playing ostrich.  Even saying them are "less ungood" than smoking cigarettes is not grounded in logic, reason, or fact.
Title: Re: random . . . randomness
Post by: Julian, Forum COGNOSCENTI on August 13, 2015, 08:34:26 pm
To be clear, by saying they were "less ungood," I was in no way stating that as a fact. It was, simply, my impression as a lay person. It is based on no studies, etc, just simply my impression that few things are as deleterious to ones health as smoking tobacco.

I quite agree with you on the issue of e-cigs, RatBastard.
Title: Re: random . . . randomness

Here's a fact you can take to the bank:

When vaping liquid is vaporized, the particle size is much smaller than cigarette smoke.  It gets inhaled more deeply and coats the lungs without being metabolized.  Add in peach flavor and a bunch of carcinogens and it sounds like a recipe for disaster.

grafulyjaded makes a good point,  a new and the only compelling one I've heard here

So few things
1. 100% with out a doubt I'm certain that using a e-cig/vape pen to get your nicotine fix  is less toxic/caustic than burning vegetable matter that combusts in to tiny little particles that you lung really can't do anything with but let just sit there and collect with the billion other little combusted particles that  sit in the air sacs in your lungs...until they can take no more little particles that don't break down.

2. I'm not a doctor or a shill for the tobacco industry, but my understanding is that nicotine does not cause any type of cancer.  Its addictive and a stimulant, but it doesn't cause lung, lip, tongue esophageal and what ever other type of cancer you get from smoking cigarettes...it's pretty much all the other shit(and the repetition)

3. Cigarette smoke to someone who doesn't smoke is really nauseating, the ashtrays are stinky and the smell in your hair (unfortunately not talking about mine as I have so little) and clothes.  I remember I had this hoodie I'd wear to bedrock billiards.  One night after getting home stuffed it in luggage with other clothes. Two days later I opened it up and the smoke stench was noxious and all of it now smelled like it.


I agree there are no standards or long term studies...that is a big unknown to confidently trust one's health on
those unknowns should make you think hard about something that you do 50-100 times a day!
I think that's the biggest problem with smoking, the repetition. The shear quantity of the one thing you keep doing. If you poked your arm with your index finger in the same place, the same amount of times you took a puff, over the years, I think the likelihood of that one spot getting cancer or something fatal is high.


One outlier is the 3rd party vape...that might actually have some merit if it is proven it is even a little toxic to other people close by. (especially with Jaded's point)
It's one thing to kill yourselves with your vices, I think you are an ass when you take others with it.

As I was alluding to earlier, my dad was an engineer in R&D for PMUSA for many many years.  Nicotine in a  liquid state (which is used in several ecig products) is and extremely nasty substance.  I would highly doubt that any company would require its employees to wear full hazmat suits when handling a substance that does not come with some pretty serious health impacts.  Liquid nicotine is not something to be fucked with at all.

To whomever it is on here that is a web developer and codes (flat) sites designed towards handheld devices I have a question.  In making a graphic that will be a touch control, what would you suggest the minimum size to use in order to make it usable.  Also, in developing such a page, do you normally set a wrapper div with a specific width to hold all of the content?  If so is there a convention as to what size should be set?

Thanks!

2. I'm not a doctor or a shill for the tobacco industry, but my understanding is that nicotine does not cause any type of cancer.  Its addictive and a stimulant, but it doesn't cause lung, lip, tongue esophageal and what ever other type of cancer you get from smoking cigarettes...it's pretty much all the other shit(and the repetition)

As I was alluding to earlier, my dad was an engineer in R&D for PMUSA for many many years.  Nicotine in a  liquid state (which is used in several ecig products) is and extremely nasty substance.  I would highly doubt that any company would require its employees to wear full hazmat suits when handling a substance that does not come with some pretty serious health impacts.  Liquid nicotine is not something to be fucked with at all.
Vapes = mouth fedoras <- that has been my favorite insult on people. It's so dumb. My buddy said "It help me quit." and I said "You're probably melting your lungs anyway." and he argued back saying "It's JUST VAPOR how can that be bad for me?" to which I responded "Literally putting anything more than oxygen in your lungs is bad for your lungs." to which he just scoffed and rolled his eyes.

Personally, I prefer an e cig to a big stupid looking vape. I quit smoking about 2 years ago and rarely when I get drunk do I ask a friend for their e cig. I think they're just as nasty as cigarettes, but you know what they say, no one ever really "quits". Heh. Either way, I try to deter my friends from using vapes as alternatives because like everyone has said in here, we really don't know what they are doing to your body. WHEN the hell did vape snobbery become a thing. There are SO many vape stores now. It's insane how quickly it's taken off.

i don't know that we know vaping is bad for you.....we just don't know yet.... it can't be worse than cigs though...

frankly, i'm jealous..wish they'd existed when I was smoking more.....lots of benefits to them like not stinking up your clothes or place....

damn cigs are a tough addiction...this post is makin me want to have one and I've probably had a pack over the last year or two...


I do not think it is as simple as saying smoking ecigs is bad/good or safe/unsafe.  There is no control over them at all (whether there should be or not is yet another discussion) so if one device was to solely use 100% water based vapor (aka steam) it would seem that such a device would be harmless.  However once a manufacturer starts adding flavorings and whatever other chemicals to their products you might as well be drinking a glass full of those chemicals.  The example I gave of liquid nicotine is a good case in point.  When my dad was a research engineer for PM, the guys who handled the liquid nicotine were required to wear full hazmat suits even when they were carrying sealed containers of that crap.  Saying we don't know if smoking ecigs is dangerous when many of them use liquid nicotine is playing ostrich.  Even saying them are "less ungood" than smoking cigarettes is not grounded in logic, reason, or fact.
The NHS declares e-cigs 95% "safer" than traditional cigarettes. (http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/aug/19/public-health-england-e-cigarettes-safer-than-smoking?CMP=share_btn_tw)

It's a morbidly obese HAES enthusiast in her 40s who, to raise awareness of how healthy the obese are, is running an Ironman triathalon next year and a half-Ironman in October of this year. So far, her "training" updates have highlighted she is "getting used to" riding a bike and "swam in open water for the first time in her life." As someone who actually does endurance races, I thought you'd find her delusion hilarious.

Some researchers also emphasize that weight is not necessarily the most important measure of health. Metabolic health may be more important. Exercise improves metabolic health, and therefore there are health benefits to regular exercise even if it does not result in significant weight loss.

If it's acceptable to mock people with food addictions, is it also acceptable to mock people with other addictions...e.g. drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, religion?


Which form of the word addiction are you talking about, the one speaking about a (usually unhealthy) habit, or the disease?

man there is some fathatin' going on
I don't think it's fathatin' to point out that woman is clearly selling snake oil. She is not healthy. That she makes thousands of dollars flying to "Fat Acceptance" conferences to talk about how she's an "athlete" is absurd. That people are funding her Ironman trips on her assurance she will complete it is arguably fraud.

So one can be fat and be working towards being healthy
say you are 400lb, to do it the healthy way could take 5+ years

but in the end people are looking for ways to justify things they do to make them feel better.

It really is not easy to lose a lot of weight, especially if you are poor
but it can be done



Some researchers also emphasize that weight is not necessarily the most important measure of health. Metabolic health may be more important. Exercise improves metabolic health, and therefore there are health benefits to regular exercise even if it does not result in significant weight loss.

https://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/coca-cola-science/

I know someone who was using this study as an excuse to not deal with weight issues for a long time, though it really didn't explain why she was feeling like shit every day. Then she got changed her diet (kept exercising moderately) and lost 16 pounds, and will likely lose 20+ more. And she'll tell you she feels a whole lot healthier. I'm sure her next doctor's visit will confirm better health stats

It is pretty self explanatory.  But to give you one generic difference between the two, the former is caused by over use of some substance or indulgence, whereas the latter is not. The disease is a uncurable genetic defect that is manifested by over use.  IMHO one should not mock a person who has this disease any more than they should mock anyone with cancer or any other genetic abnormality.

I thought of putting this in the Books thread, but it's really not about the book, so I figured I'd say it here: I read a few months back this book called Chinaman: The Legend Of Pradeep Mathew (http://www.amazon.com/The-Legend-Pradeep-Mathew-Novel/dp/1555976115) which was a roman a clef about Sri Lankan society and politics told the tale of cricket players. And it was really heavy on cricket jargon to the point I had to wikipedia cricket terminology extensively. And then I turned up watching test cricket on ESPN3.com. And I keep watching it. I think I like cricket now. I never thought I'd be someone who like cricket. I totally didn't want to like cricket, but I think I do. I actually got up at 6am to watch cricket before work the other day.

I do not know what to do with this turn of events, honestly.

This is a non-story that is blown way out of proportion by wingnuts like Space who want to hate on a particular religion*. NEWS FLASH: there are dozens of such single-religion-only subsidized housing facilities in Toronto. But no one raises a stink when someone is rejected for not being a catholic or a Lutheran or a Jew... No, it's only newsworthy on the one occasion when the rejection is by Muslims. Because they aren't allowed doing what every other group does without being singled out.

Toronto man denied subsidized housing for not being Muslim

http://globalnews.ca/news/2185359/toronto-man-denied-subsidized-housing-for-not-being-muslim/?hootPostID=70a04a6fbe80db6edc1bbe9e3198eb02

This is a non-story that is blown way out of proportion by wingnuts like Space who want to hate on a particular religion*. NEWS FLASH: there are dozens of such single-religion-only subsidized housing facilities in Toronto. But no one raises a stink when someone is rejected for not being a catholic or a Lutheran or a Jew... No, it's only newsworthy on the one occasion when the rejection is by Muslims. Because they aren't allowed doing what every other group does without being singled out.

FYI, Global News subscribes to the "fair and balanced" approach to news. No surprise they're the ones carrying this story.

*like all other religions, there is plenty to hate about Islam... But for eff'a sake, come up with something legit will ya please?

I'm against any religion that does this. Of course, if i were posting a link that was critical of the CAthoic Church, you wouldn't even be objecting.

I got this link from a twitter post by Ali Rizvi, a liberal, atheist, ex-Muslim from Canada. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ali-a-rizvi/

And it was a link to Global News. Which you claim to be fair and balanced.

Please remind me how this makes me a "wingnut".  Me, someone who has voted for Jesse Jackson, Ralph Nader, Michael Dukakis, John Kerry, and Barack Obama (twice), and would consider voting for Bernie Sanders. I prefer the term "independent thinker" or perhaps "provocateur". As in someone who isn't a slave to liberal or conservative BS, but  instead wishes to provok party-line thinkers to think outside their  dumb little safe boxes.

This is probably a more interesting link.

I was just reading the other day about this new gym franchise that's booming called Planet Fitness. One just went in by my work. I looked into them because they have a 9.99/month price point which is low.

Turns out its basically a fake gym for fat people. If you work out too hard, you get your membership cancelled because other people might feel bad. You cannot wear workout clothes. There's free bagel and pizza days several times a month. I'm all for a gym where it's not lunkheads drinking out of milk-cartons filled with water, but that's ridiculous.

No, I'm dead serious. I have seen someone with what was literally a gallon jug of milk, with a milk label on it, filled with water and drinking it constantly. I'm not sure if they drank all the milk first and were just being environmentally-conscious or they poured all the milk out or what. But definitely a milk jug.

You all are missing the point. It doesn't matter if it's a gallon milk jug that has been emptied out and refilled with water or a proper gallon jug of water. If you're walking around at a gym with a gallon of water and crushing it after slamming your weights down on the ground -- something that is in no way unique to Richmond, VA -- then you're a total douchenozzle. And it would be nice if there was a gym that refused service to douchenozzles without going wildly the other way like Planet Fitness that (apparently) refuses service to people who want to do actual exercising.

No, my beef with tapes is totally different.

They sound like shit, are completely unreliable nor durable, and were only used because of their ability to be both portable and dub - two advantages we have far surpassed with modern technology.

Anyone who uses them now is just being ironic.  But I guess some one needs to cater to neanderthals.   Maybe they can do it in exchange for shaving off those stupid mustaches?

What? That's laughably terrible statistical analysis. You can't sum Thread Age in Years for sports and music and divide the total by that. You seriously are positing that we post only 98 posts about sports per year?
Title: Re: random . . . randomness
Post by: Julian, Forum COGNOSCENTI on September 09, 2015, 04:39:47 pm
Let me give you a simpler example to show why your method is inane. Let's say there are two threads that are each two years old, and one has 800 posts and the other 2. By my methodology, I would compute that those two threads are averaging as a group 401 posts per year. By your methodology, you'd say it's 200.5.

I'm not saying my methodology is perfect (for one thing, it's limited only to threads in the top two pages, it presumes all posts in a thread are on-topic, and it estimates years as integers) but yours is literally insane. You cannot count up a total number of posts and divide by the combined thread ages of all those threads, namely since the time of many overlaps. You can't divide 52070 by 41 years and think that number is at all relevant. The board is only 12 years old!

Let me make it simple for those who don't like statistics: RatBastard estimates we, as a group, post 98 posts (not threads, individual posts) about sports per year, about 1.6 per week. I estimate it at 1270, or about 4 sports related posts per day. Which seems more in line with what you've seen?

also, the JA thread...has surprisingly little content...but skews the results sooo much
you also left out the North of the border and eve of a new season and break up the nats threads
as well as playoff threads

Yes, you are wrong.  RatBastard's numbers say that we're getting 98 posts per thread per year, not 98 total.

that is demonstrably not how he's labeled it. it's also a meaningless number since there are more music threads. Had he taken the mean of each group of threads ages, he'd have something approaching usable. Since time is variable, you have to normalize it. His numbers are terrible.

Also 98 posts per sports thread works out to 490 per year. This number, again, is not backed up by any of the actual given post counts.

Ok, I have three questions for Sidehatch, but anybody is free to chime in.


1. When you see a random adult on the street wearing an official NFL team jersey, how many points do you deduct from your guess of his/her IQ score?

2. Same question as #1 but let's say the jersey in a Redskins jersey.

3. In an effort to establish some kind of bar to judge your answers to #1 and #2, let's say you see a random person on the street wearing neutral clothing but sporting a lip piercing. How many points do you deduct for that person?

Thanks for your time and response(s).

Random question for the random thread:

I've got 3 tickets for Reverend Horton Heat/The Adicts at The Howard Theatre on Monday. I'm unable to go and need to sell them. I've tried them on CL to no luck, and can't make it to the venue to sell the day of. Any other options (DC music forums, ticket exchanges, etc) I should look into?

So $29 each, not sold out, an upcoming slot at ShinDig and he plays in the area at least once a year
recipe for a tough sell

FYI..didn't see a CL ad?

I do love the Rev and haven't seen him since those raucous shows at the 930 in the 90's
but Mon is going to be a tough sell for me

The "younger people jersey" thing kind of goes out the window when you reach a certain age though. I refused to buy a Bryce Harper jersey until I realized that just about everyone on the team is also younger than me or the same age. Maybe I'll be more against buying a "rookie sensation" jersey. Getting old.

Yes, I'll wear a Howe or an Yzerman sweater to a Wings game. I'm not buying a Dekeyser.

Same thing with Michigan football, I wasn't getting a Denard Robinson #16, I'll buy a Woodson or Harmon throwback.

Craigslist ad is up again now. The previous listing expired a couple of days ago.

I know it's a tough sell, and I'm cool with losing some money. Let me know if you want them or know of someone who does.

I have an Adam Oates sweater, but I'm getting a Nicklas Backstrom sweater next and I'll justify that by saying he has more kids than me. Since I think I'm about 3 months older than him lol.

What? That's laughably terrible statistical analysis. You can't sum Thread Age in Years for sports and music and divide the total by that. You seriously are positing that we post only 98 posts about sports per year?

It is 100% valid.  You are looking at the average number of posts per year in the threads of the given type.  This is EXACTLY the number that is important.  The number you posted which is a sum of the averages means absolutely nothing and has no comparative value at all.  This is even more obvious when you note that one group has a larger sample size.  You obviously have no concept of statistics what so ever.  No need to discuss this any further.

Let me give you a simpler example to show why your method is inane. Let's say there are two threads that are each two years old, and one has 800 posts and the other 2. By my methodology, I would compute that those two threads are averaging as a group 401 posts per year. By your methodology, you'd say it's 200.5.

I'm not saying my methodology is perfect (for one thing, it's limited only to threads in the top two pages, it presumes all posts in a thread are on-topic, and it estimates years as integers) but yours is literally insane. You cannot count up a total number of posts and divide by the combined thread ages of all those threads, namely since the time of many overlaps. You can't divide 52070 by 41 years and think that number is at all relevant. The board is only 12 years old!

The total post divided by the total years is the only valid measure.

Post by: Julian, Forum COGNOSCENTI on September 10, 2015, 02:24:24 pm
Ratbastard, by your analysis, there should be 490 (98 posts per thread average x the 5 threads) in sports threads in all of 2015. 3/4ths of the way thru, by my quick count (seeing at what page the threads clicked over to 2015 posts, then counting number of pages to the end and multiplying by the number of posts the software puts per page, 15 by my settings) there have actually been 715 posts so far. I wouldn't exactly say your methodology is doing a very good job of estimating the 2015 post counts, or current traffic, in sports vs music threads which was what Sidehatch was asking about.

Its almost like, I don't know, your model doesn't normalize time as a variable to take into account that there might be a different number of active posters during different years on the board or something. *shrug*

They do have a "pro" version; but I think it just gives you better analytics.  I have not had any issues with any of my uploads with my free account.  They range from 30 minutes to 2 hours in length, and I have uploaded over 60 so far (I usually only do a mix every two weeks though).

How big the issue is related to others is 100% irrelevant.  It is an additional issue that can kill me.  By your reasoning, holding a lit match over a can of gasoline should be OK since it is less of a risk that someone detonating an atomic bomb right next to you.

nope, but I bet if his last name was Rodriguez, he probably would have had a hard time getting that job at that gas station and getting accepted to college and that would have changed everything

I don't have plan on how to fix it...so yes I'm part of the problem

My sister-in-law is named Rodriguez, and she had no problem getting into a good college (paying for it herself) and subsequently gaining employment. She now earns more than her white male husband, fwiw.

I have no idea what world you live in but with all the rules and laws that make it so that colleges and employers HAVE TO hire/enroll certain percentage of (pick whatever victim group you want) whether they are qualified for that hiring or enrollment, your statement is absurd at best.

wow, i wasn't expecting to hear from you until thursday...
I'm not turning on anything sports related until at least Thursday. I'm listening to classical music at work instead of Dan Patrick.

The only person I wish to apologize to was the Uber driver who saw my shirt and hat and innocently asked "Michigan, huh? How did you guys do today?" only to be told "Don't you fucking talk to me."

He is an absolute champion for not throwing me out of his vehicle right there. If uber would allow tipping via the app, I would send him $$ right now.

It's like the Daily Show: it's a show that basically consists of going "look at these people who think/believe/do _____, they so dumb!" Taking potshots at people is easy. They never actually propose anything different or any ideas themselves, it's just bland snark. It's the GGW of television.

At some point, most of us get an emotional maturity in excess of 15y.o. and stop thinking that pointing out how everyone "sucks" is awesome.

But I'll make an exception for shaming hambeasts.

Right, South Park's, however, is about everyone all the time. You wake up one morning and run across someone who "sucks," then you ran across someone who "sucks." You wake up every morning and run across people who suck, then you're the one who sucks.

I don't have a problem with someone saying _____ sucks. I find it tiring when saying "_____ sucks" about everything is that pony's only trick. The South Park-style cottage industrialization of pointing out who is stupid is what wears thin.

I love South Park, but it does get preachy. They do semi offer "solutions" to the "problems" they pose on the show, or at least shine a light on it, or point out the hypocrisy in certain situations. Earlier this season they went on about how Caitlyn Jenner isn't actually a hero, but it doesn't mean they think she's a bad person. And made a pretty scathing caricature of her lol.

It's long gone from the days of Satan vs Jesus in a boxing match, but it's still entertaining. Sometimes I wish it would go back to just being a funny show about foul mouthed 10 year olds and their quirky misadventures. I think their ability to turn around and write and produce a show within a week really hurts their overall product. If people look back in 20 years on the show they'll think "What the hell was going on in society then?"

I buy at Best Buy for the rewards points and because its the only merchant credit card I have (if you're going to give me 6-18 months interest free to pay for something, I'd be a fool to pay cash). Best Buy is also fairly liberal with price matching. I never buy anything at Best Buy I can purchase cheaper elsewhere.

Correct. Had you really wanted to be frugal, package that price matching with a 10% off coupon and pre-purchase the total price in Best Buy giftcards thru Cardpool at off-peak times at 92 cents on the dollar.

The other day, my wife was stopped at a red light, and there was an old woman driver in the right lane, blocking people from making a right hand turn.

Some guy behind the old woman started honking furiously for the woman to move so he could make his turn (of course, she couldn't, because the light was red, and she was going straight).

My wife rolled down her window and said to the guy "Calm down, what are you honking about?"

And he replied, "Stupid people shouldn't be allowed to drive."

And she replied "You've got a beard, you're a hippie, chill out."

He replied by giving her the finger and speeding off, as the light had gone green.

The end.

But the person taking credit for generating the list, who goes by ?Amped Attacks? on Twitter, told TechCrunch that he ?worked for nine days to gather and verify all the information that was gathered before its release,? all of which was allegedly stolen from KKK websites and databases. ?I went through many emails that was [sic] signed up with these sites and a few of the emails that sparked my interest was [sic] the ones of the politicians in question there would be no reason for them to be signed up on any KKK website unless they supported it or was involved in it.?

Amped Attack claimed not to belong to the Anonymous collective, but the group has timed its ?HoodsOff? offensive to coincide with the release of these names, and it claimed that many KKK-affiliated websites were successfully hacked and taken offline today.

nah, you were correct.  everyone, including those eventually found guilty, deserve the innocent-until-proven-guilty treatment.  there was always a chance he wouldn't turn out to be a sick fuck.  unfortunately that didn't happen.

Hahah! I work out but I don't think I'm there yet!

@Killsaly Yeah my buddy runs an open mic at Jackpot in Chinatown every Monday. They pressured me into it, so I wrote some jokes for a few weeks and promised I'd go in last night. They gave me about 5 minutes and I ran close to 8 I think.

@Julian Its funny, I've actually been heckled at comedy shows so much. Comedians seem to lock in on me for some reason. I've been a big fan of comedy for years and years and I never EVER thought of heckling comedians, but I've been heckled as an audience member and it's super fucking annoying. One time I was out at the Arlington draft house and the female comedian pointed me and my friend out and said something along the lines of I must be gay to be with a girl as attractive as her. I chuckled and she asked me and I responded to her question, then she kept coming back, and I jokingly retorted and she snapped "THIS IS MY STAGE I HAVE THE MIC SHUT UP, WHY DO YOU WANT ATTENTION" and I just thought holy hell what is wrong with people. Went to an open mic at Stetson's last year and the same thing happened where a guy pointed me out sitting a table with some lady friends and he said there's no way I was with any of them [one was my gf btw] and he proceeded to keep talking shit about me for the rest of his set until I said "This isn't funny anymore, you don't have any jokes and you're picking on an audience member who hasn't responded to your verbal abuse for almost your entire set" and he tried to fight me.... I just have a face that's easy to hate or heckle I guess. I just never really understood it. One of the comedians heckled a chick in the audience last night, but to be fair before the host even started she had to yell out "I don't give a shit about this show!" so she deserved it lol.

i'm not defending fatties per se.  i'm pointing out how hollow and weak the fat-shaming "arguments" are.

here's why i have such a visceral reaction: we have too much hate in the world.  hate does nothing but hurt and alienate.  we are social animals and we do better when we are connected.  nothing good has ever come from hate.  if you truly care about the obesity epidemic, do something constructive about it.  firing off hatred from behind a keyboard only makes the world a worse place.

edit: please listen to this political "hambeast" (http://listen to this political "hambeast").  his message of compassion applies.  i'm not a fan of the man but this stuff resonates.

and more time responding to my thoughtful queries about Montreal?!

yeah yeah, i'll get to it... right after i finish my fifth burrito ;D 

i haven't been back to MTL in a long, long time and i've never been to that festival so not sure how useful i'll be.

I have to say that while I do appreciate the advent of electric cars, they're really messing with my biking prowess. I've spent 30+ years learning to detect where cars are and what they're doing behind me based on the sounds of their engines. I'm kind of a can't-see-a-car whisperer in this way. But these new electric cars just glide along not making the normal sounds at all. It's an inconvenience. Do you agree? Sound off in the comments!

Sanford cop fired for singing about killing with death-metal band
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/sanford-cop-fired-for-singing-about-killing-with-death-metal-band/ar-BBne8Hk
Quote
Police officer Andrew Ricks ended his career in Sanford by taking the stage last week and singing "Let the Killing Begin" in full uniform while backed up by Vital Remains, a death metal band.

Ricks already had notified the city of his intention to resign effective Friday, but Police Chief Cecil B. Smith relieved him of his duties Wednesday morning, records show.

"An incident of this nature erodes the thin fibers of trust which already exist between the community and the police and it will not tolerated within the Sanford Police Department," Smith said in a statement released Thursday.

Ricks was on duty when he sang at the West End Trading Co., a venue on the shore of Lake Monroe in Sanford, according to police.

Someone in the audience sent a video of Ricks' performance to the police department late Tuesday. A YouTube video shows him hanging out with the band and throwing a "rock-on" hand gesture to the audience before singing.

Speaking of BMI, I had a really good idea for a new gadget that Apple should make.

The iBM. After a steamy grunt session on your throne, simply point the iBM at your leavings and be provided with a full breakdown of which meal has now passed on to the other side. Stuck in a quandary over whether this latest bio-pile is your lunchtime BLT or mid-afternoon danish break? Let the iBM solve this poopescent problem. No longer must you suffer thoughtless, anonymous flushes, never knowing the true nature of your excrement. The iBM puts the power -- and presence -- of your crap where it belongs: in your hands.

Plus the name is quite easy to remember.

possibly, and we can argue about different sources of motivation... however, the hate that you posted here won't motivate this person, since he will never read it.  so instead i must assume that the "strategy" here is to spread the hate far and wide, in hopes that someone makes a change?  really?

You don't think feeling bad about yourself and what you're doing doesn't serve as a motivator? Do you bring scotch to an intervention?

So you're helping the obese feel badly about themselves by shaming them, thus adding to their motivation to lose weight?

Student leaders have pulled the mat out from 60 University of Ottawa students, ending a free on-campus yoga class over fears the teachings could be seen as a form of "cultural appropriation."

Staff at the Centre for Students with Disabilities believe that "while yoga is a really great idea and accessible and great for students ... there are cultural issues of implication involved in the practice," according to an email from the centre.

The centre goes on to say, "Yoga has been under a lot of controversy lately due to how it is being practiced," and which cultures those practices "are being taken from."

The centre official argues since many of those cultures "have experienced oppression, cultural genocide and diasporas due to colonialism and western supremacy ... we need to be mindful of this and how we express ourselves while practising yoga."

I'm going to have to whole heartily disagree that is the way it should be
it actually makes me said that a lot of people actually feel that way.

I don't think we should all live on a hippy commune, but people should be connected  and look out for each other

The reason there is so much division in the US is people want to hole up and not get to know other people.

Everyone is so freaking scared of people.
Yes there are idiots (unfortunately a lot) but ultimately the majority of the people you meet will be nice and friendly.  So if the odds are so good that a person will be nice and normal, why is it most people are so unwelcoming to others?

I grew up on a dairy farm where I didn't have neighbors as far as the eye could see. And I can appreciate that kind of life. Sometimes I long for it as an adult. Perhaps that's the life you have?

But since I do live in a suburban neighborhood, I think it's important to make people feel welcome (my wife has baked cookies for all of our nearby neighbors at one time or another), and to at least be on a friendly basis with your neighbors so you know there's somebody there who will help you out in an emergency (I bougt both my my neighbors six packs when our dog escaped the backyard and they cared for him all day), and vice versa. Beyond that, I try to stay out of their business and hope they return the courtesy. If a spark or friendship develops beyond that with a neighbor, that's cool too.

I thought when i moved out of the city i was going to get some peace and quiet; I guess i was wrong.

IMHO I've always felt that it's a scam
odds are a little better than the lottery, but it's insurance on a very gray area
I don't know anyone who ever made a claim and got paid...so don't know how difficult that process is

But I think you could take that same money and put it monthly into some EFT's
in the long run you'd likely have a nice sum of money, rather than waiting for some health event to cash in ...or never get any of it back

"Better than insurance"
I don't think the purpose of insurance and the purpose of healthy living habits are congruent. Even if someone does everything you said, there is still a chance of getting cancer or being in a debilitating accident and the purpose of supplemental insurance is to assist with the financial complications of that. If someone wants to say "hey, you're better off investing that money and getting to the point where you have a sufficient safety net to cover a catastrophe," well, OK, that's a viable discussion. Both things are dealing with the financial ramifications of something bad happening.

The idea of "eat right and exercise and you won't get cancer" is not really a serious suggestion. Its sort of like saying "driving safely is better than having collision insurance." Yeah, people should drive safely, but it's not an either/or.

based on the black and white logic you present in your last sentence, i take it you have never dealt with addiction. 

Addiction is horrible.  It is pernicious and can be debilitating.  It makes you feel like you have no control.  Addicts benefit from intervention and therapy, and they would benefit from having insurance that covers those things too.

Addictions can deteriorate your health.  Some quickly, some slowly.  On a theoretical level, you'd be better off not being an addict than having to rely on insurance to restore your health.

Many addictions have a significant behavioral aspect.  Learning (or relearning!) that you are in control of your behaviors and that you make the choice to act in your own best interest is surprisingly difficult.  Nobody can do that for you; you have to do that yourself. 

Once you gain that level of self control and self awareness, the addiction can be more easily managed.  If you need cognitive behavioral therapy in order to make those gains, then you should probably make sure you get the right kind of coverage for that.  You can, essentially, do CBT on your own, but it takes determination and will.

FWIW, the word "Better" indicates a comparative or relative relationship, not a black-and-white one.
Title: Re: random . . . randomness
Post by: sweetcell on December 02, 2015, 02:41:15 pm
clearly you have an very solid understanding of addiction. folks who smoke cigarettes, or are addicted to any other substance, aren't making economically rational decisions.  if they were, they'd realize how much smoking costs and decide they'd be "better off" saving that money.

an addict who takes out extra health insurance makes sense, in a perverted way.  they know they're ruining their health, are/believe they are powerless do stop the behavior, so they're doing the next best thing: preparing for the inevitable.  not smoking and saving on insurance is ideal, but smoking + good insurance is better than smoking + little or no insurance, isn't it?

Leaked Documents Reveal Dothan Police Department Planted Drugs on Young Black Men For Years, District Attorney Doug Valeska Complicit

Quote
A group of up to a dozen police officers on a specialized narcotics team were found to have planted drugs and weapons on young black men for years. They were supervised at the time by Lt. Steve Parrish, current Dothan Police Chief, and Sgt. Andy Hughes, current Asst. Director of Homeland Security for the State of Alabama. All of the officers reportedly were members of a Neoconfederate organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center labels ?racial extremists.? The group has advocated for blacks to ?return? to Africa, published that the civil rights movement is really a Jewish conspiracy, and that blacks have lower IQ?s . Both Parrish and Hughes held leadership positions in the group and are pictured above holding a confederate battle flag at one of the club?s secret meetings.

The documents shared reveal that the internal affairs investigation was covered up to protect the aforementioned officers? law enforcement careers and keep them from being criminally prosecuted.

Quote
The officers believe that there are currently nearly a thousand wrongful convictions resulting in felonies from the 20th Judicial District that are tied to planted drugs and weapons and question whether a system that allows this can be allowed to continue to operate.

Not 100% where to put this....but some very good info on Will Call and getting tickets to someone else at the club
thanks eddie!

If the tickets were bought through Ticketfly and were always held at will call you can have a friend pick them up with the following items. 

-Copy of your ID
-Copy of the Credit Card used to purchase( all digits can be blacked out except for the last four)
-Confirmation number

Here is the other option.  If you bought your tickets through Ticketfly and they were always held at will-call you can come to our Box Office anytime we're open and pick them up.  That way you can just give them to your friend.

Just to show how out of touch we are with the rest of the country



we're really rich (https://www.arlnow.com/2015/12/11/arlington-ranks-no-6-richest-county-in-u-s/)

The top twenty localities on the list, by median income, are:
1.Falls Church, VA ($125,635)
2.Loudoun County, VA ($122,641)
3.Fairfax County, VA ($110,507)
4.Los Alamos County, NM ($108,477)
5.Douglas County, CO ($107,250)
6.Arlington County, VA ($107,143)
7.Howard County, MD ($106,871)
8.Hunterdon County, NJ ($103,876)
9.San Mateo County, CA ($100,806)
10.Morris County, NJ ($100,511)
11.Somerset County, NJ ($100,194)
12.Nassau County, NY ($98,312)
13.Williamson County, TN ($97,936)
14.Delaware County, OH ($97,802)
15.Montgomery County, MD ($97,279)
16.Santa Clara County, CA ($97,219)
17.Marin County, CA ($94,549)
18.Putnam County, NY ($94,334)
19.Fairfax city, VA ($94,067)
20.Stafford County, VA ($92,647)

Almost half!
I guess we should all say thank you to the rest of the US tax base for this lovely economy


now hutch will surely jump in with his cost of ground beef argument and yes, cost of living around here is just as high


yes yes I was excitedly going to jump in but was bummed to see you had me preemptively covered..

and sidehatch the ground beef argument.. man you must have missed my point... ground beef may actually be fairly standard... does the price of ground beef vary that much by area? if so this is a major arbitrage opportunity!

what varies a lot is housing...things for your kids (services)...restaurants...child care....a house in FC and north Arlington is pushing 1 million..$125 K (and it is a per household figure I believe)  may seem like a lot but with houses costing as much as they do its really not.. you're way better off making 80K and living in Texas, Florida, NC (like Chaz told us..) or any number of places...like where walkie lives with the squirrels.. I would move out but we are dependent on the Arlington schools for a number of services..

the ground beef argument was more about food inflation seemingly being lost in inflation numbers that keep telling us there is barely any inflation and yet people do have to eat (all over the nation) and how food inflation is really pushing a lot of people down the economic ladder..

but I must confess I got the sense from our conversation that you don't do the grocery shopping in your family

Totally agree with what you're saying.

I also wonder if part of the reason for the high median family income in this area (I checked and yes the wages listed is for family income, not individual income, though obviously some "families" are just one person) could be that there might be a higher percentage of two-earner families in this area relative to other parts of the country?  I'm talking about families where both mom and dad work rather than one parent staying home and not working. And in turn this has pushed the cost of living higher than other parts of the country.

This is definitely part of it. I saw some stat a few years back that said the average heterosexual couple/family in America makes like 45,000 and the average homosexual was low 6 figures. I might be slightly off on the numbers, but the disparity was shocking. There is certainly a huge difference economically in the parts of the country where most families are single-earners vs the parts where there's two.

DINKs

kids are expensive and typically one person has to exit the workforce a few times and greatly diminishes their future earning potential.  Also probably don't take big risks on job opportunities as they would rather have the security of a stead income

I remember the first time I heard the DINK thing. I was having dinner at the house of my boss and his partner and I could not believe how luxurious and richly appointed their Dupont Circle house was. How did you afford this, I asked. "DINKS!" they sang.

In our Cap Hill/Lincoln Park neighborhood, I'd say more of 'family' friends are husband-works-wife-home dynamics. This made sense when the kids were young, but now most of our kids are in school and I've noticed a marked increase in dad grumbling over "Yeah, I guess the hours between 9 and 3 are 'free time' for some people."

I'm not an economist, I just play one on the internet

But did find this site that claims avg price went down from 2012 to 2015
http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/pricebasket.html (http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/pricebasket.html)
this does include Gas ...which has gone historically low

but the trend since 2008 things have gone up 50%
you can get Frozen Pizza, Bag of Sugar, Bag of flour, green grapes and chicken soup for less than you could in 2008

Also...Wrangler jeans are still a pretty good value :)

inflation is at insane lows...but grocery bill's up 50%, housing up that much too, heath care rising at least that much and wages stagnant

not really sure how they come up with their numbers

Yes, I'm just giving you shit.  ;) I spent my first five years in Florida, and one year as an adult in North Carolina. I've actually spent the most years in New York State, though Virginia at some point will overtake NY.

I'd put Colorado, Oregon, and Washington on my short list of places I'd move to in a heartbeat. No Florida or Texas for me, either (though of those two I'd choose Florida by a mile).

This surprises me as I think the national percentage of families where the mom and dad both work, even though there are kids under 18, is somewhere above 70%. I would think it would be even higher in your hood given the price tag of houses in your neighborhood.

In fact, I have friends in your neighborhood. Two couples, both with kids under five (one of them with two kids under five), and all four of the adults both work full time.

This is exactly my story. Well, it was. My wife worked part time for six years, and then went back to work full time in an office. When she was home, she got to know a handful of SAHM in the neighborhood, and for awhile would complain that she wished she had never gone back to work, "look at all these other SAHM, why do I have to work? blah blah blah", as if that was somehow the norm in 2015. When in fact, it's not.

Anyway, don't know Bill and Amy, but I'm happy to meet them if you think we'd get along.  ;D

No, people's feelings do not constitute a "much bigger problem" than the obesity and diabetes epidemic, and anyone who'd argue contrary to the clear science behind that is literally killing people. The fat acceptance movement should be shouted down from the rooftops by anyone who cares about other human beings or who have any concern in the economic holocaust this is causing in rising insurance rates and increasing numbers of working-age adults being taken out of the workforce (contributing to society) and into disability.

We have a restaurant in my neighborhood that's won "Restuarant of the Year" and gotten 4-star reviews (from local publications, not Michelin/Zagats obviously) and they just opened a spin-off restaurant that is all "fancy" hot dogs. Its really quite bizarre. Aside from that (and the occasional holiday cookout), I have not seen an adult eat a hot dog in close to a decade.

How "large" is that army? Until you brought it to our attention, I never even knew there was one.

Is quitting smoking any harder than given up unhealthy eating habits, if you've gotten to the point of tobacco or food addiction?

I eat hot dogs quite often. 
yeah WTF....adults who don't eat hot dogs are not allowed on my property

I love hot dogs....although I really more of a Brat / merguez /  kiełbasa /  bangers / Italian sausages / chorizo /  andouille  and any other tube shaped meat

I just love all types of ground meat and spices in a casing....quite possibly one of my favorite foods

which is why he won't win.

a basic tenet of conservatism is that we are unsafe and under constant threat.  we need more guns, a bigger military machine, more preemptive strikes, and we can't trust anyone.  anyone who questions any of this is not a patriot and is therefore a threat.  unless Rand kowtows to that philosophical foundation, he won't get anywhere.

What I always find hypocritical is the constant 'you can't trust gov't to do anything right' that comes out of one side of their mouth. Then it's 'we need gov't to snoop on every single person in the world so Americans are safe' out the other side.   

So they don't trust the gov't to do healthcare, but snooping on us and invading our privacy ...they'll be great at that and we shouldn't worry

judaism = the old testament only (over-simplification, i know)
christianity = old + new. 

jesus said "i come not to destroy the old testament, but to complete it".  if you're a christian, you believe in the old testament as (also) being the word of god.  when christians talk about being gay is an abomination, that's straight outta the old testament.

The worst part is towards the end.  One of the white guys gives a mud jug to one of the only black guys there... And the some other black dude knocks it out of the first guy's hand, and shakes his head no.  And then the white "rapper" hands the gentleman, a black Mud Jug. 

And all of the comments are about Skoal and shit.

Threats of being obese: less likely to be seen as attractive to the opposite sex, shorter lifespan, less likely for males to sire offspring, less likely for females to carry offspring to full term or get pregnant in the first place, less likely to survive harsh environments, less likely to be at optimal health, less likely to be able to physically fight for your offspring and/or yourself against predators. . . Literally every reason why ANYTHING evolves, obesity fights against.

But no, obese people should feel no shame. None at all.  ::)

I clicked on it because I thought it was a portmanteau of "wince" and "-est" like cringe/wince-worthy things of the most superlative nature. It was, in reality, a portmanteau of "win" and "incest" and appears to be a community of people who fantasize about incest who photoshop incest related captions onto pornographic images.

Unfortunately, 4Chan has been doing this for years. Although on 4Chan it's all a mish mash in the "Random" section as opposed to the subreddits you can steer clear from. I never got into Reddit.

'gay acceptance' is a an all time high in this years
but the insults persist
It is also somewhat insulting to women too (not that particular slur)

But getting 'screwed' or  telling someone to 'suck my x$@*' is a put down
when it should be the opposite

But I will say that it freaks the f out of religious zelots when you say they like boys (which is sad since statistically it seems they actually do ;))

To put things in perspective until very recently, the mayor of DC owned a 1000 sq ft duplex.

Holy shit I feel dumber after watching a video by Alex Jones about Oregon (recommended by a liberal leaning site that I follow) .  I could not watch it all (10 minutes long).  I jumped around and watched enough (prob 5 minutes of it).  He seems to be thinking the Oregon "occupation" is a false flag by Obama to take our guns, I think?  Towards the end of it, he basically tells his followers to hold fast and not take the first shot, cause that is what Obama wants (to take our guns and start a race war, maybe?).  It is all a conspiracy.  The media is in on it.  The government.  And also, the Bundy clan?

He was behind it, but also they could see he was mustachioed. Is he 9' tall? Did he stick his head awkwardly out to the side of it keeping his fit body concealed until the big reveal?

Also, the Barbie girl ate pizza for 15 minutes while orgasm-noise-making. And then talked with the girl for a bit. But at the end of the story, fattie needs to finish her weight machine reps. HOW LONG IS SHE GOING TO MONOPOLIZE THAT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT!?

Because all skinny women are sluts who do not care for the needs of the handicapped and not feminists. Thin women also "do nothing all day" yet are in fantastic shape and only go to gyms to eat free pizza. You need to learn your fat acceptance talking points.

They literally pay for a membership just for pizza and bagels which they can eat unlimited amounts of because of their good "genetics" and lack of "condishuns."

I was reading it as she was eating multiple slices of pizza because all thin people can eat whatever they want without consequences because there is no connection between calories and weight.

It was probably my favorite movie of last year. I don't think the Best Picture needs to be a heavy, serious film. Fury Road, for me, was the best made and most fun movie of the year. If I were an academy member, I'd probably vote for it. Maybe Best Director instead, but I'm a populist.

Alas I have no vote nor fucks to give.

It's quite unsafe, actually. Used to be very popular at UofM football games (with a bowl stadium design you could go from bottom to true top) and a similar ban was placed in effect in late 70s.

To be fair that's because of how they've changed the rules. It went from 5 to 10 but then a few years ago it went to "up to 10." Films have to get a certain % of first-place votes to be a nominee. Oscar insiders say 8 films is going to start being the most common nominee amount just because of the voting system mathematically.

The whole Oscar voting protocols for Best Picture (http://www.goldderby.com/cms/view/209/) are bizarre and if more people knew how they decided on a winner, they'd think its nuts.

He appeals his 4 year sentence and lower court turns it into a death penalty!
 
tried in early 2014. He was sentenced to four years in prison and 800 lashes. On appeal a Saudi appeals court returned the case to the lower court where a new judge was assigned to the case. He sentenced Fayadh to death. He was accused of having promoted atheism in his 2008 book of poems Instructions Within

Sadly, in Middle East diplomacy post 1979, one is forced to choose between either Saudi Arabia or Iran.  Pick your poison or the lesser of two evils, and given Iranian actions post revolution, it wasn't a hard decision to make.  That line is blurring. Daily.

Saudi Arabia makes Iran look like Sesame Street...

I like what the President has done... he's given Saudi Arabia and Israel the middle finger....its very bold but its a very dangerous game to play and nobody knows how it will end up.. but for sure he's trying to realign the US away from its usual Israel/Saudi Arabia suckupage in trying to engage with Iran instead of buying into the Saudi/Israel "Iran is the devil" line...

But its a complex world and none of them are angels... the Saudis and their gulf allies, and Israel are ticked off as can be though....

Of course if the Republicans win we will fall back into old habits... if Hillary wins who knows...

I also wonder about falling oil prices.. I just don't buy that falling demand explains it adequately.. I think the Saudis are flooding the market to make Iran pay figuring Iran can't take it....it makes no sense to me how oil can be over 100$ a barrel a few years ago and now below $30....

I mean the price of oil right now might be the cheapest (adjusted for inflation) that it has ever been in my lifetime....sure I remember paying 87 cents a gallon but that was over 20 years ago....
the impact such a low price of oil is having/will have on these crazy nations is worrying..but I find it hard to think its a bad thing even though it could blow it all up..

No, it's not just demand, though that is decreasing as cars are becoming more fuel efficient.  It's supply as America is flooding its own market with oil produced in America.  Thus the Saudi's have to find new clients and OPEC no longer has the stranglehold on price.  If the Saudi's want to find a new buyer of their oil, they have to be competitive and lower their price in Asia, because the last thing the Saudi's want (which the rest of OPEC doesn't understand) is for America to remove it's oil export ban and start selling to Asia.

I mean, to be fair, the storm in question doesn't even hit the west coast until tomorrow, unless I'm mistaken. Asking people to accurately predict where a storm is going to hit north-to-south (with, literally, 10s of miles, because that's the variance in these predictions) before the storm has even made landfall ~2,500 miles away from us is kind of unreasonable. If the prediction they come up with mid-day or Thursday evening is drastically off, that's one thing but what do you expect them to do this far out?

Trying to plan a trip to SXSW with my buds but they are refusing all the places I've found to stay. I found a hotel that is 6 miles from ONE of the venues downtown and they said that's too far. I said we could rent/borrow bikes and they said no dice. Wtf?

Has anyone ever been before? My buddy goes "I've heard from people who have gone before that if you aren't downtown then it's not even worth going" which just has to be total crap. Aren't tons of streets shutdown and you have to walk a bunch of places anyway? I think they're just being lazy.

Was reading that there's a steady surcharge of 3x and up to 6x during peak hours during SXSW and traffic is usually a mess and that's before all the streets shutting down FOR sxsw. A 6 mile bike ride down 1 street doesn't really seem that bad at all to me. Plus there's stuff spread throughout the city that we can do. People can be frustrating sometimes.

You might want to get some from a town that is like 20 miles away

Was reading that there's a steady surcharge of 3x and up to 6x during peak hours during SXSW and traffic is usually a mess and that's before all the streets shutting down FOR sxsw. A 6 mile bike ride down 1 street doesn't really seem that bad at all to me. Plus there's stuff spread throughout the city that we can do. People can be frustrating sometimes.
The bike idea seems totally reasonable. You're going to fucking Austin, TX for God's sake. If you can't ride rental bikes in a hipster mecca, you need to get over yourself.
My friends are just bums. One of them was complaining when we were walking around RICHMOND. For all this effort they ended up bailing on the trip so now I'm headed down by myself! I have a couple friends down there who I can couch surf with or hop into someone's air bnb. Excited!

Don't think I'm buying a SXSW music wristband though. I know a lot of people doing free showcases not associated directly with the main SXSW fest. Seems weird, you spend almost 200 for a wristband and everything is first come first serve? Or sometimes you win a lottery for bigger shows? Seems frustrating. Unless I totally misread their site...

It seems to be a trend that more and more people are wearing pajama bottoms out in public.

Judge Long tells us that's fine, but there are some places pajamas shouldn't be worn and the courtroom is one of them.

We were thinking of heading to Ocelot tonight, as my wife may need a drink or five after teleworking all day with my daughter home.

 So 50, west of Fairfax County Parkway (not to mention Fairfax County Parkway, but the Parkway seems less busy at that time coming form our house that going to).

Here's my ironclad rule on nannies: get one that is at minimum 50 years old and pleasantly plump. Not speaking English also helps.

Having a hot nanny is the worst possible thing you could have in your house. I am *not* speaking from personal experience in this, but I have witnessed several marriages break up due to a hot nanny/au pair/whathaveyou. In one case, there wasn't even an affair going on. The nanny developed a crush on the dad, he resisted her advances, the nanny kept at it, the wife got suspicious and then assumed the husband was cheating. In other cases, the husband did diddle the help.

But there's always going to be a certain amount of tension if you have a hot nanny. What happens if you assume you're home alone and emerge from the shower or bathroom naked and HOLY CRAP there's your nanny standing in the hallway, and then HOLY CRAP there's your wife just walking in the front door. If you have pleasantly plump 52-year-old Rosa Maria, then everyone has a good awkward laugh and gets on with their lives. If you have smoking fuckbox 19-year-old Oksana, then you've got a sticky situation on your hands.

I just came back from a lecture on this!  Nothing pleases me more than seeing nerdy scientists all giddy over new stuff.

It would take me forever to fully explain it, and I'm not a scientist, but let me give it a brief shot.

Assume that matter causes gravity (the curvature of space known as Einsteins Theory of Relativity), and Einstein said gravity waves must be created from disturbances in this matter, but couldn't prove it.  For example, if two stars collide or a star disappears in a black hole - their combined gravitational pull becoming one creates new energy in the form or a gravity wave.

LIGO located in both Louisiana and Washington just measured the distance between two fixed points to prove that gravity waves exist.  The near simultaneous movements of those points at a certain distance was proof that they were moved by something only the energy that a gravitational wave could do.

I could never get into the spacetime continuum and things like that, but gravitational waves prove disruptions in that.  They prove the existence of black holes and other matter disruptions in space, and the ability to measure them means we can put time stamps on events and get closer to the big bang.

What I found most intriguing, was that Einstein knew his theory had holes, and this was one of them.  Physicists around the world are now on the hunt to prove many of Einsteins theories wrong, as Einstein predicted they would do if they found the existence of these waves.

There are going to be some kids born on the spectrum 9 months from now for sure!

an important take-away from today's LIGO announcement is that it gives us a whole new way of looking at the universe, a whole new set of information to analyze and investigate.  it's not just the inherent value to today's anouncement that is giving astro-dorks big boners, but also the doors this will open for future discoveries.

"While my predecessor inherited a $1 billion surplus when he became governor, I've been left with almost a $1 billion deficit for this year alone and a $2 billion deficit next year," Edwards said.

In addition, the state's revenue stream is strangled by tax credits, Edwards said.

"In fact, we're paying out more in credits and refunds to corporations this year than we are collecting from them in taxes," he said. "This is not sound financial policy."

He has some mental health issues. Kind of ironic that he's so pro-going against the grain but as soon as someone opposes him he thinks they're hindering him as an artist or human being. He's sincerely gone off the deep end.

Some of the best musical minds have had mental health issues: Lou Reed, Brian Wilson, Amy Winehouse, Syd Barett, Marvin Gaye. I recently read a bio on Aretha Franklin. You want to talk about artists that are fucked up in the head, she's a perfect example.

Brian Wilson is a perfect example of an artist having mental health issues but not having it entail being human garbage like Kanye.

Epiphany
In 1981, Jagger was part of a US congressional[23] delegation[24][25][26] stationed at a UN refugee camp in Honduras. At one point during her official visit, the entire staff saw about 40 captured refugees marched away at gunpoint towards El Salvador by a death squad.[23][24][26] Armed with nothing but cameras[25] to document the raid, Jagger and the delegation trailed the squad along a river towards the Honduran-Salvadoran border.[23] When both groups were within auditory range of each other, Jagger and the staff shouted[26] at the M16 rifle equipped raiders, "You will have to kill us all!"[23][26] The squad considered the situation, approached the group, relieved them of their cameras, and released the cache of captives.[25] A transformation had thus begun for Jagger.[24] In subsequent interviews,[23][24][26] Jagger has recounted this incident as "a turning point in my life."[23][25][26]

Activism

B. Jagger engaging for human rights in Tibet, Vienna 2012.
Bianca Jagger founded the Bianca Jagger Human Rights Foundation, which she chairs. She returned to Nicaragua to look for her parents after the 1972 Nicaragua earthquake, which destroyed Managua, the capital, leaving a toll of more than 10,000 deaths and tens of thousands homeless.

In early 1979, Jagger visited Nicaragua with an International Red Cross delegation and was shocked by the brutality and oppression that the Somoza regime carried out there. This persuaded her to commit herself to the issues of justice and human rights.

In the 1980s, she worked to oppose US government intervention in Nicaragua after the Sandinista revolution. She has also opposed the death penalty and defended the rights of women and of indigenous peoples in Latin America, notably the Yanomami tribe in Brazil against the invasion of gold miners. She spoke up for victims of the conflicts in Bosnia and Serbia. Her writings were published in several newspapers (including the New York Times and the Sunday Express). From the late 1970s, she collaborated with many humanitarian organisations including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.

She was also a member of the Twentieth Century Task Force to Apprehend War Criminals, and a trustee of the Amazon Charitable Trust. She gave a reading at the start of the memorial service in London's Westminster Cathedral, which was timed to coincide with the funeral in Brazil of Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes, who was shot eight times on a tube-train after being mistaken for a suicide bomber in London. In March 2007, she became involved with Sarah Teather and the campaign to close Guantanamo Bay.

In March 2002, Jagger travelled to Afghanistan with a delegation of fourteen women, organised by Global Exchange to support Afghan women's projects. On 16 December 2003, Jagger was nominated Council of Europe Goodwill Ambassador.[27]

From 2007 to 2009, she was Chair of the World Future Council. On 7 July 2007, Jagger presented at the German leg of Live Earth in Hamburg. In July 2008, she was a signatory to a petition to the Catholic bishops of England and Wales to allow the wider celebration of the traditional Latin Mass.[28] In January 2009, Jagger addressed some 12,000 people who rallied in Trafalgar Square in protest against an Israeli offensive in the Gaza several days earlier.[29]

She has served as IUCN's Global Ambassador for the Bonn Challenge a global effort to restore 150 million hectares of the world's degraded and deforested lands by 2020.

On 8 October 2010, she spoke at the Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas (ASPO) 2010 world conference on moving beyond petroleum and "Crimes against Present and Future Generations".[30]

In June 2012, Jagger, along with the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Airbus launched an online campaign called Plant a Pledge initiative, which aims to restore 150 million hectares of forest around the world by 2020.[31]

On 21 November 2013, Jagger delivered the prestigious 12th annual Longford Lecture titled "Ending Violence Against Women and Girls, and the Culture of Impunity: achieving the missing Millennium Development Goal target", chaired by Jon Snow.

Prior to the 2015 UK general election, she was one of several celebrities who endorsed the parliamentary candidacy of the Green Party's Caroline Lucas.[32]

The Cannonball Run (1981, as sheik's sister)
Miami Vice (1985) TV episode "Free Verse"
Street Hawk (1985) TV episode "The Unthinkable"
Hotel (1986) TV episode "Separation"
C.H.U.D. II: Bud the C.H.U.D. (1989)

In addition to her extensive charitable works, Jagger had a public reputation as a jet-setter and party-goer in the 1970s and early 1980s, being closely associated in the public mind with New York City's nightclub Studio 54

Did you at least get guac, or does your self-loathing know no bounds?

extra white rice
black beans
steak
green hot salsa
tomato salsa
lettuce
Assuming by extra white rice you mean a true double portion thereof, you're talking about 780 calories and 2025mg of sodium. Which, honestly, is probably one of the least egregious Chipotle meals I've ever come across.

I have had those and they're actually phenomenal. If you want to replicate scrambled eggs, that's spot on. (Everything by that brand is excellent aside from veganaise; they're the best vegan "cheese" by a mile.)

And to answer your question: very few vegetarians/vegans are such because they do not like the taste of meat. Some have a moral objection to the killing of animals and/or the ecological effects of farming. Others, such as myself, have stomach (or other health problems) that makes digestion of meat extremely painful. In both of those cases, meat/dairy substitutes provide a greater variety of meal choices for us.

It's based in Simple Machines Forum, which is run on BSD

I guess the question is...who is the technical admin
Is that Kosmo?

And who is in charge of technology at I.M.P.
and organization of that size has to have someone in charge of that stuff?
(if not...Seth I love my job, but would leave it if you want me to be that guy)

It's open source and probably not that hard to do some cool mods/tweeks to get more advanced look and features?
just need someone motivated and granted the access to do it
and I'm sure there is some Linux wiz would do the site for free in exchange to free entrance to 10 sold out shows a year

I hate the "If you want meat eat meat, don't be vegan and have meat substitutes" argument. I fucking love the way meat tastes, I just know eating meat at the rate we do is unsustainable, so I'm trying to do my small part by being vegan. Sorry I still like chicken, burgers, and eggs and still want to taste things like that. People get so offended by it.

According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, moderate alcohol consumption is defined as having up to 1 drink per day for women and up to 2 drinks per day for men. This definition is referring to the amount consumed on any single day and is not intended as an average over several days.

She does, but she "can't help it". She eats chips and chocolate candy almost all day. And says "I'm trying to be healthy" by eating an apple for lunch. She tries to give me tips on my workout routine and diet too. It's great. She tells me she usually has dinner and her snack before bed is 2 bowls of cereal.

I find it interesting . . . that all of this started after he discovered you can touch and communicate with beings from other dimensions, through meditation.  I don't think those beings liked the fact that he did and turned his back on them, and this is what will happen when you do.

In essence, once you have contacted said beings, you must accept them into your consciousness and allow them to use you and your human mind, to control the world.

oops, did I say that out loud?

At first I thought I was torn about this one, but then I realized that it's perfect that someone who has a fetish for deadly weapons is a victim of those same weapons. And it sounds like she's a terrible parent, since her 4 year old A) had access to a loaded weapon, and B) wasn't in a car seat.

what were you torn about?  perhaps you were more generous of spirit that i am, and you didn't want to mock this person in her time of suffering? 

because for me, this was cut and dry as soon as i read the headline: eff that gun nut.  let see how safe she feels now.  there is no way for ammosexuals to sugar-coat this.  how many times has this person used her guns to actually defend herself?  vs. what real damage has it done to her?  the net result is that her life is worse for it, and she put her child at risk.

maybe it's that last part that gave you pause: the kid could very well have shot himself instead... which happens way, way too often in this country.

From a couple hundred pages back in the Rollcall thread, I am going to copy it instead of quoting it:

hey killsaly . . . i did not mean it as an attack on you.  you know, lets get off subject for a second, and discuss your name, this killsaly . . . who is saly and why do you want to kill her?  im sure im missing the true meaning, but i like mine, as well.  kill saly.

OK.  Here is the story of my moniker.

First off, I do not advocate violence against ANYONE, and especially not women. That being said, this name is one I have been using as my internet handle (and email and video games and message boards and whatever else) since 1996.  But what does it mean, and where does it come from? 

Well, it all came from a misunderstanding.  My cousin Micah used to have a stepfather, aka Steamboat Willy (that wasn?t his name but he was a captain on a barge on the Mississippi River).  He was extremely old to be Micah?s stepfather (Willy was about 30 years older than Micah?s mom) and was very much out of touch.

The 90?s, as I am sure a lot of you remember, was the time of MTV, magazines, and band fan clubs.  One such fan club was the one for Alice in Chains.  The Alice in Chains fan club used to do things like mail out postcards to the members for Christmas.  One Christmas Micah?s Christmas card was intercepted by Steamboat Willy. 

?You got something in the mail Micah,? Steamboat Willy said with a sneer, ?Something from Kill Sally or some shit.?

Micah took his postcard and stored this nugget in the back of his mind, until the next time we saw each other (which wasn?t too far in the future, we were best friends and thick as thieves at that point).   He recalled the story to me and we both had a good laugh. 

During this time I happened to be in my first band, and we were in the midst of picking a name.  I suggested the name, but the other members liked other names.  So I decided to use it as my internet name (Hackers was a big movie around that time and having a unique internet handle seemed like a good idea).  But I wanted something completely unique.  I decided to go with it as one word, all lowercase, and with only one L in Saly (the four L?s of Kill Sally were too much).  So Kill Sally became killsaly. 

I kept using it for everything.  Internet boards, email, and anything that needed a username all had killsaly as my username.  It was in 2004 that I started making electronic music by myself.  And I needed a name.  At that point I decided on two separate names; first, killsaly for the darker music (drum and bass mostly) and second, JJ Dynomite (based on a nickname I had received in the military) for happier music like house.  That lasted for a year or so, until I decided I should focus on one name, so JJ Dynomite went away, and only killsaly was left. 

Fast forward to now.  I still use it for my solo electronic music, but not for the darker music (my witch house stuff is released as Hexenjagd, or witch hunt in German, and I also have a few groups and projects in the pipeline as Campaign Trail 72, Surgeon Mary, Cassius Claymore, and Black Cat Hit Squad) and for remixes (http://killsaly.bandcamp.com/album/classics has a few of the tunes I have made over the years on it). I still use it for message boards and all that.  Basically if you google killsaly, you find me.  BUT, someone in Japan now uses it as well (http://www.killsaly.com/ ) after I let my registration of that site lapse (not thinking ANYONE would want to use it).  I have contacted this person to ask them WHY, but didn?t receive and answer.  And I let it slide, because who cares?

Anyways, that is the origin of the word.  If people ask me about it, I either give them the Steamboat Willy spiel, or just tell them it?s a modification of the Northern Irish word Kilsally (L?s are in a different order) http://www.collinsmaps.com/maps/United-Kingdom/Northern-Ireland/Cookstown/Kilsally/P1110773.00.aspx though i didnt know this place existed until many years later.

Or at least Ali McGraw

The whole attempt was shoddy
Just to put trash in my body


?from ?Steve McQueen? by Drive By Truckers

Anybody have a refrigerator recommendation? Looking to spend in the $1000-$1200 range. More important to get something reliable that's going to last than it is to get something with multiple bells and whistles (e.g. don't want an ice maker or water dispenser) that are bound to break.

We purchased one a mere 2.5 years ago and it's already dying. It was cheap.

And I'm still thinking a five year warranty for $300+ on a $1000 fridge is a ripoff (?)

I have no recommendation but I think a fridge is probably something you don't skimp out on to ensure you don't have to buy another one in three years.

Just go with a classic white GE with no bells and whistles. I'm pretty sure the one in my basement is about 40 years old, however, I'm sure it sucks enough electricity to pay for another fridge every few years.

I'm certain that is true, but if you don't open it a lot...probably not crazy bad
 older fridges can be very inefficient
unfortunately the  Refrigerator Retirement Savings Calculator (https://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?fuseaction=refrig.calculator) isn't working at the moment
so I can't give you an estimate

A 1986-era 18 c.f. fridge uses 1400 kWh a year, while a modern energy-efficient model uses only 350 kWh ? a whopping 75% reduction. At 15¢ kWh, trading in a pre-1986 fridge for a new efficient one would save about $158 a year in electricity costs. And some older fridges are even worse than the average.


So you could easily by a no frills one every 3 years, or a nice one every 5-6

So much world bass music. Peligrosa House. WOO! The place to be. Was standing right behind Kelela as she was going nuts to one of the DJ sets then she jumped on and started singing. So rad.

Shooting up a bar isn't that creative/crazy of an idea, is it?

totally.  i was into shooting up bars way before it went mainstream, man.

Welcome Statement

Georges Méliès, who made the 1902 science fiction movie A Trip to the Moon, was a magician before he was a filmmaker. A moving image is itself a kind of magic, a trick created by the mind when a series of still shots are set in motion in just the right way. Our social streams enact a similar illusion: as a whole, they play a bit like a movie made of individual pieces made to move by a swipe or a scroll, each isolated bit spun into a continuum as it travels the network from screen to screen.

Welcome to Museum of the Moving Image and to the sixth annual Theorizing the Web. Last year, we took up residence in a museum devoted to photography; this year, it?s moving images. In recognition of our hosts, we are paying particular attention to social video?how it is made, understood, and circulated. This year?s final keynote panel will be dedicated specifically to social videos and their relation to death. Indeed, this year?s theorizing of the Web is focused less on wires, circuits, and gadgets, and is more attune to the Web as something embodied, intimate, and visceral. We see the Web less a technical appendage, and more as an elemental substance of our social reality.

This more matured conceptualization of the role that digitality plays in our lives advances the premise on which Theorizing the Web was founded: to understand the Web as part of this one reality, rather than as a virtual addition to the natural. Businesses and gadgets will be discussed not as fetishized ends unto themselves, but as a means to talk about sociality in all of its complexity. The goal of Theorizing the Web is to encourage and provide space for a discourse about the Web that is as varied and nuanced as discourse about sociality in general. Our conversation about technology must be nothing less than that.

To that end, we?ve put together a two-day program that we?re proud and excited to share. The Friday and Saturday daytime sessions feature 17 panels created largely from the competitive submissions we received at the beginning of the year, while the evening sessions feature four keynote panels that take place in the Museum?s beautiful Redstone Theater. They examine topics such as programmable personality; screen-mediated intimacy; narrative and fiction; and the violent social video.

We?d like to thank everyone who?s attending this event.
As you?ve probably noticed over the years, Theorizing the Web has been and remains pretty DIY. All of the Organizing Committee?s effort in putting on this event is volunteer labor, and the registration fee is pay-what-you-want. We aren?t doing any of this out of any institutional obligation, and we hope you?re not here out of any obligation, either. Instead, this event happens because we all wake up thinking about these issues. The quality of discourse around technology both concerns and motivates us. Most importantly, this event happens because you all care enough to come. So, again, thank you for being part of TtW16.

Quote
?My name is John Hams and I?m a sex addict.?
And so begins Dr. Chuck Tingle?s first full length novel, Helicopter Man Pounds Dinosaur Billionaire Ass, a thrilling superhero origin story that will take you to the edge of gay erotic romance and stare bravely into the abyss. It is a story so powerful, so sensual, that it could change the very face of erotic literature forever. John Hams is a man who has lost it all, a nine-to-five nobody with an addiction to billionaire dinosaur bad boys. That is, until a freak accident at work imbues John with the ability to transform into an achingly handsome helicopter at will. Suddenly, things are looking up, as John uses his ability to woo the dashing stegosaurus from his addicts group who just happens to have a thing for rugged aircrafts. But it?s not long before John?s new helicopter identity starts to spin out of control, taking on a personality of its own as the wild and horny Chibs Pratt, chopper with abs.
Can John Hams become the hardcore gay hero that he is destined to be, or is this shifter bound to be nothing more than his own worst enemy?
The room itself is massive, as well, with another set of windows that fill the far wall from floor to ceiling and look out towards the distant Hollywood Hills. It?s a corner unit, providing two completely unique, but equally breathtaking, views. I slowly strut across the hardwood floors on my landing skids towards Yorb, enjoying the way that his yellow dinosaur eyes flicker and dance across my metallic body. At this point, he can?t help but stare. Seductively, I give my blades a quick flash of speed and hover up onto the bed, then crawl towards him, eventually positioning myself directly over his body. I take Yorb?s hands carefully with two blades and pull them above his head, controlling him completely as I make my way down his ripped chest and scaly abs with a series of sensual helicopter kisses.

What are thoughts on taking someone who is clearly not in the inner circle to this event?

Now that you have, I assure you, I won't keep the money for beer.

 As Dave Grohl would do, I'd like to do some good with your donations and give all the proceeds to Autism Speaks.

 If you only donated to help me meet Dave (or for beer money) and would like to keep your funds, then I have no problem with that. No one will think any less of you.

 Like I said, I'm surprised anyone donated.

 If you'd like to continue helping me get Dave's attention, while helping out Autism Speaks, then I thank you very much.

Where i live, there is a Walmart across the street from a Target. If you want a fascinating look at the differences between the human race . . . go into one for a bit, and then immediately go into the other.

The Walmart is dirty, people are miserable looking, including those that work there, and they usually have three to four lines open out of the 25 available.

The target is clean and cheerful, the people that work there are friendly and helpful, and they always call everyone to the front if more than two lines can't handle the amount of people.

But my favorite thing is, there's about 20 people shopping at the Target every time I go and about 5,000 people trying to shop at the Walmart when I go.

some zoos really treat animals poorly..others the animals seem to live like mac daddys while people schlep up mountains and walk miles just to catch a look at an animal sleeping...... I don't find zoos very exciting but my kids like going every once in a while...

Rush Limbaugh weighs in on apes and evolution:
Quote
Don?t doubt me on this. A lot of people think that all of us used to be gorillas, and they?re looking for the missing link out there. The evolution crowd. They think we were originally apes... If we were the original apes, then how come Harambe is still an ape, and how come he didn?t become one of us?

What?  It seems like he does not even have a junior high student's grasp on science...

Went to Busch Gardens yesterday for the first time in like 16 years. Had a ton of fun. BG definitely has awesome roller coasters. Temptesto is 8000000% fun and probably one of the best coasters I've ever been on. Verbolten is a super fun take on the semi haunted house vibe/all dark roller coasters and even throws a something I've never experienced on a roller coaster EVER [I won't spoil it if you ever decide to go]. What a great park.

Spoilers below:

The train departs the station and gently dips to the left into a leisurely winding S-curve. Exiting the S-curve, the train enters the first Linear Synchronous Motor (LSM) launch, which accelerates it into the event building. Inside the event building, the train crests an airtime hill and then dives into a series of high speed turns, followed by a helix that guides the train onto a brake run, while holographic leaves appear with critter sounds in the background. The train then dives into a curve and up a medium-sized hill onto a second brake run, while more holographic branches appear with rusting sounds. The train finally comes to a stop on a section of track, with blackness for a while, followed by various thematic elements (This segment of the ride changes depending on which theme the coaster is on), then the entire train drops 18 feet vertically. Once dropped, the train rolls forward and down a small dip onto the second LSM launch, which quickly accelerates it out of the event building, and through a series of curves up a hill. At the crest of the hill, is another brake run themed as a decaying bridge. The train then drops 88 ft off of the bridge into a hard left hand turn that follows the same path as the Big Bad Wolf. The train then enters a high speed S-curve, almost identical to path of the Big Bad Wolf and over a bunny hop into a turnaround onto the final brake run.[10]

their freedom fighter is our terrorist
Luke skywalker is a terrorist to the Empire and their families


one comment very unrelated to her commentary
this is the second clandestine CIA officer that I've seen (Wilson was the other)who worked in the middle east....and is a white woman

I really don't know how you could be clandestine in that environment where women are not really allowed to participate in the top ranks or even the lower ranks of these organizations, add to that being clearly very white and American!

obviously she wasn't infiltrating al qaeda.  i assume she had a cover that was plausible for a woman in the middle east like a secretary at the embassy, a business consultant, an academic researcher, etc.

I didn't suggest they eat nothing. Look, lets say the average person requires about 2000 calories a day to function and maintain a normal weight. If someone has a super-slow metabolism, "a thyroid," "a glandular problem," or "cundishuns" that might make that number lower for them. But that doesn't mean they should go out and still eat 2000 calories a day. They could eat, I dunno, 1200. If you truly have a medical condition that makes your body only require 1200 to function and maintain a healthy weight, then only eat 1200. If you eat more, you will put on weight. If you eat less, you will lose it. This isn't negotiable: it's fundamental physics.

Lets say you have a car that gets 20mpg and you need to fill it up with gas once a week. Then you go out and get a new car that gets 40mpg (i. e. develop a "glandular problem"). Would you still go to the gas station weekly and spill 15 gallons of gasoline on the ground because you've always went to the gas station weekly? Of course not. We'd label that decision insane. The police would be called because you're a threat to public safety. But if you're a fat person and does that, This American Life will dedicate an hour of programming to talk about how those mean people who say you shouldn't waste gasoline are jerks.

We have things called eating disorders -- anorexia or bulimia for example. We see people who have those and we understand they have an inappropriate relationship with food. And we acknowledge that as a society. We do not downplay the dangers of anoerxia because it might hurt someone's feelings.

But anorexia nad bulimia affect less than 1% of the population. Meanwhile, morbid obesity is the epidemic of our era. It's an eating disorder. The fat have an inappropriate relationship with food. They are mentally ill the same way a bulimic or a heroin addict is. But we can't say that because "feelings." We should push back against that. CPS should take the children of the morbidly obese away. Insurances should cover food-rehab treatments. But we've passed a weird tipping point where so many people are fat we can't call a spade a spade. Want to legalize heroin? Just get 30% of the population to do it. Ira Glass will show up and tell everyone you're Heroin-sexual.

morbidly obese is defined as over 40, not 25.

heroin addicts are allowed to vote.

we are not logical animals.  we make plenty of logic-defying decisions everyday.  using that as a barometer for taking away the vote would result in no one being able to voting.

But it is. This isn't a controversial opinion, it's science. If someone's TDEE is 1200 calories than eating 1200 calories will not cause weight fluctuation. Eating 1100 will cause them to lose weight; 1300 will cause them to gain weight.

The idea that someone has a medical problem that makes them unable to lower their weight by eating less is pure fiction. Its a fiction invented to remove responsibility from hambeasts.

See, that's what people tell me all the time since I'm a vegan [it's been 8 minutes, give me a break]. The problem is, 1 person CAN make a difference. I'm a firm believer in having to get a license or something to have a kid. Too many idiots are having kids and raising more stupid idiots to have more stupid idiot kids. This is leading to massive overpopulation and if we can try to help out fellow human beings and really the frickin planet we're living on, then why not?

   One of the problems with obesity is that we live in a country (I can only speak for this one) that fetishises
eating the fattiest, butteriest, richest dougnuttiest foodstuffs. We treat it like those are the only food pleasures and that lettuce and fruit and water is garbage.
We also woefully under educate people on what proper diet is (I get it it should be self explanatory).
Example: my co-worker is currently on a ketogenic diet (of which I am a proponent) and I had to explain multiple times as to what items he couldn't eat (mainly all the things he usually does).
On the other hand, we celebrate the thin and pretty so if you can't be one (thin & pretty), you might as well have the other (fat and ostensibly happy).
   Finally I think the health services industry also under-serves us in that we get so little time with our doctors (we can't all have on call concierge health professionals, some of us are lucky to get 15 minutes with a NP once a year) that the best (most) they can (are willing to) do is tell us "you're fat" and then it's "see you in 12 months". I don't think people even know what 1200 calories looks like.

I agree with virtually all of that. Your last sentence is also particularly on point. There's this British show called Secret Eaters (available on YouTube) that follows around obese people who claim to not be able to lose weight. One of the aspects of the show is they ask people to track how many calories they think they are consuming and then they compare it after a few days to the actual video record of what they ate. It's always -- every single episode -- thousands of calories underestimated. Several other research studies have shown the same thing: people with weight issues virtually always chronically underestimate their caloric intake. Someone is not obese on 2000 calories a day (conditions be damned); they're obese on 4000 calories a day that they self-report as 2000 calories a day.

The move to force restaurants to put up calorie readings is a good first step but we do need to do a better job as a society of teaching what 300 calories of meat/carrots/yogurt/almonds/etc looks like.

Also lets keep in mind that this is in Turkey....a country that has not come even close to being helpful in the fight against terrorism....lets not even talk about the Kurds.... the context in the Middle East is very complicated... Turkey has done some very unsavory things I'm sure... nobody's hands are entirely clean even if it may appear to be a simple case of "the evil muslims" or even "ISIS"...  you have the whole Sunni (Saudi etc) vs Shiite (Iran) playin' out... there are no "good guys" that we can just easily pick sides... the weapons you give to the "rebels" on your side , you think, one day.. end up in the hands of the terrorists the next..


now if it makes you feel good to say some muslims are killing innocent people then that's great but you're just kind of stating the obvious... if you want to extend it to "there is something wrong with the muslim faith"... well, I'm afraid you'd lose me there but I am willing to concede there are quite a few people who profess faith in Islam that seem to have it in for our way of life...... so what? that is like saying the sun comes up tomorrow.... what do you propose we actually DO? THAT is the real issue....

Another terrorist attack in Turkey, it appears.

I'm just waiting for for a Christian to blow up an abortion clinic. Because, you know, apologists like to reply that Christians carry out terrorist attacks too.

so you're just going to whine about how muslims hate us?

You know very well hundreds of millions... actually over a billion muslims are peaceful...

so in the end your point as is what??

A big complaint that some people refuse to say "muslims are the problem"??

You're just playing 8th grade semantics or something...

You want to declare war on 1.4 billion muslims because they believe in "Islam" and "Islam" is responsible for terrorism (your assertion)

These people are not muslims.. they are terrorists pieces of human excrement.... saying they believe in god and have faith is giving them something they don't deserve and by association including all Muslims in the same bag.. that doesn't mean we can't have a discussion about what Muslims can do as a community to help prevent terrorism, etc....

off the top of my head: entertainment industry backing isn't going to make this happen.  apple will roll it out, android will refuse to implement, concert-goers will revolt and switch to android.  all the Livenations and Universal Music Groups can't make Google incorporate this tech.  the big G is in the driver's seat on this one.

second thought: Google Play.  depending how much money they're making there, and the music biz's willingness to pull the plug there, perhaps they can muster enough leverage...

Sure, any list of the four greatest boardies of all time pretty much has to include me. My take? (No order) Kosmo, myself, Smackie, Rhett. I guess a case could be made for Markie (great career, no longevity) or Sweets (longevity, ton of posts, championships-light) but there's only room for 4.

Someone should spin this off to its own TAN thread.

Megyn Kelly says Ailes got her-assy on her too
way to wait until it was safe to come out
apparently Murdoch knew too


yikes...Ann Coulter and I agree
Coulter also took a jab at Kelly who, so far, has publicly been silent on the recent allegations from Carlson and a half dozen other women. Last fall, Kelly described Ailes as a ?mentor? who has been ?nothing but good to me, and he?s been very loyal and he?s had my back.?

?I guess she waited for him to be out before she spoke up,? Coulter said, adding that it was ?very brave of Megyn to wait until the last moment.?

The Crusades weren't violent  ::)

I guess the main argument would be those aren't "motivated by religion" as opposed to people of that religion who are just violent. But, all muslims who are violent must be radical, no?  ::)

what I don't like about Ford is he proposes no solution.. no approach.. its easy to see there is a problem... but like Trump Ford has nothing to offer... just divisive rhetoric...it would be great if we could have a serious debate on this topic but nobody seems to want to do it... on the one side you have people desperate to ignore the problem..and come up with ways to explain it away.. on the other side you have people like Ford and Trump who seems GIDDY.. you can feel the glee with which they bring every single attack/incident/massacre to our attention.. as if we didn't know it had happened.. but its more a  "YOU SEE!!??? I TOLD YOU!!!! I'M RIGHT!!" but what do you propose??? I have some ideas but without anybody to actually engage with on this topic I really don't see any point to throwing them out.. its not as if Ford asks for a solution.. he merely points to the problem.... as usual he behaves like a troll... its sad..

I will just say this.. the Democrats are making a HUGE mistake in wishing the problem go away.. they are ceding the issue to Trump and every time there is some attack be it organized terrorism or some muslim loony Trump will politically profit because many people will perceive him as "tough" merely for pointing out the problem and at least offering an approach no matter how insane it is.....Hillary should offer a 10 point plan while being careful not to make it look like Obama has done anything wrong... a "we are going to expand on Obama's blah blah...

Do I seem giddy? I'd say I'm way more sad than giddy.

I think the first step to coming up with a solution is recognizing the problem correctly. Some people want to blame it entirely on gun availability. Others want to blame it entirely on mental illness. Others want to blame it entirely on religion. Others want to blame it all entirely on colonial history. Blah blah blah. When it's really often a combination of all of those.

Believing in a "God" that has no scientific provable reality is probably a sign of mental illness. Some are more mentally ill than others.

Since this mental illness probably is not going to disappear anytime soon, how do we treat it? I think the moderate religion people must do something to reel in the more ill. I'm not sure how this should be done, but it's not my job. It's not Trumps job, and it's not Hillary's job. It's the job of the moderate religious leaders. Actually, in the case of the Muslims, it's the job of the liberal reformers, as outside of the US the "moderate Muslims" are still pretty damn conservative.

yes you do seem giddy.. every time there is an attack or incident you come on here before the ink is even dry to gloat with a very "I told you so" tone.

this is the dumbest thing I have ever read... "It's not my job"??? WTF??? of course its your "JOB".. you live in the US and its your "job" to make the country you live in a decent place to live in.. presumably that is what you want to do.

what kind of lame assed citizen are you? If you're concerned about Americans who are muslim becoming radicalized or committing terrorist attacks of course its your job to do something about it..  and not simply bitch about the muslims..

your post is just so stupid dude... obviously we need to adopt policies to protect ourselves as much as possible from having terrorism in our country.... to say that "its the job of the muslims themselves" is completely deflecting any responsibility and divides us between muslims and non-muslims.. we're all in this together.. all Americans.

I have to say- with all due respect- that I don't think you have the intellectual capability to discuss this....anybody who would argue "hey its not my problem, let the muslims take care of it" is living in la la land.. its a very complex issue.. it involves immigration for example.. government has a HUGE role to play.. hence, Hillary or Trump will have a big role to play... to think the solution is simply to say "hey its the muslims so let the muslim community police itself"..wow.

and the whole lets split the difference the Muslims radicals are wrong and the Liberal apologists are wrong is also incredibly stupid... its the traditional bothsiderism.... reductionist and useless.

where are all the right-wing apologists to make excuses for the inherent violence of christians?!?  what about asking fundamental questions about in inherent violence of christians (the bible promotes hate!!!) and putting these concerns front and center of each news cycle???

Are you saying those tragedies were all a result of someone being inspired by the Bible with the hope that they were increasing their rewards in heaven?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one. Two devout followers of Islam walk into a Catholic church in France and slit the throat and/or behead the priest and you're equating that with a random shooting in Laurel?

Do I seem giddy? I'd say I'm way more sad than giddy.

I think the first step to coming up with a solution is recognizing the problem correctly. Some people want to blame it entirely on gun availability. Others want to blame it entirely on mental illness. Others want to blame it entirely on religion. Others want to blame it all entirely on colonial history. Blah blah blah. When it's really often a combination of all of those.

Believing in a "God" that has no scientific provable reality is probably a sign of mental illness. Some are more mentally ill than others.

Since this mental illness probably is not going to disappear anytime soon, how do we treat it? I think the moderate religion people must do something to reel in the more ill. I'm not sure how this should be done, but it's not my job. It's not Trumps job, and it's not Hillary's job. It's the job of the moderate religious leaders. Actually, in the case of the Muslims, it's the job of the liberal reformers, as outside of the US the "moderate Muslims" are still pretty damn conservative.

yes you do seem giddy.. every time there is an attack or incident you come on here before the ink is even dry to gloat with a very "I told you so" tone.

this is the dumbest thing I have ever read... "It's not my job"??? WTF??? of course its your "JOB".. you live in the US and its your "job" to make the country you live in a decent place to live in.. presumably that is what you want to do.

what kind of lame assed citizen are you? If you're concerned about Americans who are muslim becoming radicalized or committing terrorist attacks of course its your job to do something about it..  and not simply bitch about the muslims..

your post is just so stupid dude... obviously we need to adopt policies to protect ourselves as much as possible from having terrorism in our country.... to say that "its the job of the muslims themselves" is completely deflecting any responsibility and divides us between muslims and non-muslims.. we're all in this together.. all Americans.

I have to say- with all due respect- that I don't think you have the intellectual capability to discuss this....anybody who would argue "hey its not my problem, let the muslims take care of it" is living in la la land.. its a very complex issue.. it involves immigration for example.. government has a HUGE role to play.. hence, Hillary or Trump will have a big role to play... to think the solution is simply to say "hey its the muslims so let the muslim community police itself"..wow.

and the whole lets split the difference the Muslims radicals are wrong and the Liberal apologists are wrong is also incredibly stupid... its the traditional bothsiderism.... reductionist and useless.




Is it also my job to reduce the rate of single parenthood in the African-American community?


"Job" was in quotes.. obviously its not your job in the traditional sense of the word job..

Nice job ignoring everything I wrote to you in response...

You're a troll.. nothing more nothing less...

I'm honestly stating my opinion, just like sweetcell. I'm not sure how that makes one of us a troll and one of us not.

I stand by my comment that it's mostly on the Muslim community to clean up their shit.

On a tangential note, it's also on the police community to clean up their shit. Are you going to say that it should be on the (mostly African-American) victims to clean up the issue of dirty racist cops?

no.. what makes you a troll is that you post something and then when someone responds at length.. thinking over what you said... you then respond with one line which basically has nothing to do with what they said but is designed to get them riled up again.. you have no interest in having a conversation about this.. your posts are basically meant to stir up shit... like "Bet his name was Muhammad" and then if someone actually takes the time to respond you'll more than likely simply post a link to some article and ignore what they post.. that makes you a troll and its highly annoying.. so I'm done responding to anything you have to say regarding  muslims... fool me once shame on you but fool me twice- and you have- shame on me.... good day.

I'm not saying this to be mean, but where the fuck do you get all that time at your job to type up long-winded paragraphs daily to a half dozen different forum topics on a daily basis? And I can only assume that you're spending more time on other websites, writing personal email, etc. Maybe you'e a typing wizard, but I'm not.

The reason my replies are twitter-length are because I have a job that I actually have to focus on, and don't have time to think about and write lengthy blog-worthy posts. Yes, I post a lot, but five 20 second posts a day is just more manageable (though of course less informative) than the paragraphs you produce. Then I go home and take care of my kid and get an hour alone with my wife if i'm lucky.  Where do you expect me to find the time to write insightful, well thought out paragraphs? If I'm going to do that, it's going to be in love notes to my wife like she wants, not internet discussions with strangers.

So what are your thoughts on the Ali Rizvi article? Now he's someone I will set aside 15 mins to read, as his commentary is better and more informative than anything i could possible write.

I can't believe I just spent 20-30 minutes writing this, I just lost my chance to read a bedtime story tonight and probably pissed my wife off in the process.

Woohoo! Yay for the religion of peace! There seems to be a "lone wolf" attacker every day now in Europe.

i did a quick news search and came up with the following non-muslim incidents... you probably haven't heard of most of these.  perhaps we're a little quick to highlight the islam-related occurrences, disproportionately?

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on the Ali Rizvi article I posted, as he probably has a lot more insight into the issues than either you or I do:

If he says anything you disagree with, does that make him a "troll" too?

I'm honestly stating my opinion, just like sweetcell. I'm not sure how that makes one of us a troll and one of us not.

I stand by my comment that it's mostly on the Muslim community to clean up their shit.

On a tangential note, it's also on the police community to clean up their shit. Are you going to say that it should be on the (mostly African-American) victims to clean up the issue of dirty racist cops?

no.. what makes you a troll is that you post something and then when someone responds at length.. thinking over what you said... you then respond with one line which basically has nothing to do with what they said but is designed to get them riled up again.. you have no interest in having a conversation about this.. your posts are basically meant to stir up shit... like "Bet his name was Muhammad" and then if someone actually takes the time to respond you'll more than likely simply post a link to some article and ignore what they post.. that makes you a troll and its highly annoying.. so I'm done responding to anything you have to say regarding  muslims... fool me once shame on you but fool me twice- and you have- shame on me.... good day.

I'm not saying this to be mean, but where the fuck do you get all that time at your job to type up long-winded paragraphs daily to a half dozen different forum topics on a daily basis? And I can only assume that you're spending more time on other websites, writing personal email, etc. Maybe you'e a typing wizard, but I'm not.

The reason my replies are twitter-length are because I have a job that I actually have to focus on, and don't have time to think about and write lengthy blog-worthy posts. Yes, I post a lot, but five 20 second posts a day is just more manageable (though of course less informative) than the paragraphs you produce. Then I go home and take care of my kid and get an hour alone with my wife if i'm lucky.  Where do you expect me to find the time to write insightful, well thought out paragraphs? If I'm going to do that, it's going to be in love notes to my wife like she wants, not internet discussions with strangers.

So what are your thoughts on the Ali Rizvi article? Now he's someone I will set aside 15 mins to read, as his commentary is better and more informative than anything i could possible write.

I can't believe I just spent 20-30 minutes writing this, I just lost my chance to read a bedtime story tonight and probably pissed my wife off in the process.

You're assuming they're selling all 60 this way, which they likely aren't. 

But you are correct that they are selling this allotment, actual # unknown, at a loss, but perhaps they made a mint on the others.

Yeah, I would think a rare wine would generally appreciate over time (and rarely, if ever, lose 50-60% of its market value in a year).

I sure would be pissed to be a person who spent 2-3k on a bottle of this through an exclusive sale only to have it offered to the general public a year later.

I very much enjoyed much of The Nightly Show and actually preferred his panel segments. I felt the skits to be too absurd, cliched and lazy. I enjoyed Larry's nerdcore dad-like delivery and take on the topics of the day. I vote to bring back Tough Crowd, though without Patrice. . . Maybe I'm just a sucker for panels.

This is what really turned me off about that show. They also had a lot more "funny" people and personalities vs actual intellectual people and whenever the panel had someone "intellectual" I felt like it boiled down to "Why should we care!?" about shit and it really turned me off.

She's an extremely overweight millennial who seems very self-absorbed and outspoken on social issues and who basically made a show where her character is an outsized, often-nude stereotype of herself which sends the sort of people who vote for Republicans into a fury of rage.

I've had multiple colonoscopies.  The procedure itself is benign, it's the prep that's a bitch.

My first two were with the liquid, which was just brutal after the first couple glasses, but now I just take pills and it's much easier so long as your legs don't fall asleep on the toilet.

I've had multiple colonoscopies.  The procedure itself is benign, it's the prep that's a bitch.

My first two were with the liquid, which was just brutal after the first couple glasses, but now I just take pills and it's much easier so long as your legs don't fall asleep on the toilet.

Same here.  Although after a while I had a hard time swallowing the giant pills.  I preferred the liquid.  And I'm due for one now.

We're renovating the bathroom in our basement, so the basement is a mess, but the contractor has a couple tools/machines down there that he has been using. One of them just randomly turned on at about 10pm and it scared the living shit out of me. I was down there watching the debate and it randomly just turned right on. I couldn't find any buttons on it or anything so I just unplugged it. Left me spooked.

This morning we also found a snake in the office.

I've had 3 pet snakes, but it was odd seeing one caught in a bug trap. I believe it was a gray rat snake. My coworker was convinced it was a baby copperhead. Was not at all the same color though. I'd be scared of a giant snake... mostly because they're just one giant muscle made to suffocate their prey.

I refuse to go into the tv thread, because I will not be spoiled about the damn walking dead, as I have, lasted, this long.

So we have not had cable or satellite for about 10 years and we love it! All you need in life anymore is Netflix and Amazon Prime. But we're way behind on all our shows because we try to watch so many shows. Last night we decided to give American Horror Story Hotel a chance.

OMG! Best of the series in my opinion from the first episode!  Yes, Gaga, yes!  Then we, watched the second episode.  Still good; not as good as the first episode.  But, uhmm . . . is it just me, or is this season the biggest, rip, of the shining of all time, just with vampires?

My wife refuses to pick up any dog poop. She told me "There's dog shit in the back yard, you need to go pick it up."

I went looking for it and promptly stepped in it with my brand new tiny grooved running shoes. Both shoes. First time I had stepped in dog shit in many years and it was my own damn dog. Must have been under some leaves.

Wasn't my wife in part to blame? I mean, if she saw a rusty nail in the yard, would she have left it there and told me to go find it?

A couple of days later the shoes were clean and aired out and I was teleworking so I went on a lunchtime run on my favorite trail. Stepped in dog shit again.

90% of Americans now live within ten miles of a Walmart. Nearly four out of five of them shopped at Walmart last year. That means its customers outnumber the voters in America?s presidential election in 2012 by almost two to one.

A question to the board:

I recently discovered that my credit card's reward program allows you to trade points for concert tickets.  There's a disclaimer that you're "purchasing" tickets with points through a reseller, and are "paying" more points than actual face value.  Most of the listed shows are not sold out, and I could pay actual face value money (plus fees) for actual tickets.  Is it better to trade virtual money for actual tickets that essentially cost me nothing but virtually cost me more than I would or should have to pay, or do I pay actual money (plus fees) and save my virtual points for I have no idea whatever else you can get for points?

I don't know the answer to that one. But I do know our family of three is going to Italy next summer with free airfare. And almost all of our airline miles were credit card rewards rather than actual flights. I guess it really depends on the person. For me, I've always done the airline miles route.

Is it better to trade virtual money for actual tickets that essentially cost me nothing but virtually cost me more than I would or should have to pay, or do I pay actual money (plus fees) and save my virtual points for I have no idea whatever else you can get for points?

Only if your miles are about to expire, otherwise best to get the most dollar value out of them.

A question to the board:

I recently discovered that my credit card's reward program allows you to trade points for concert tickets.  There's a disclaimer that you're "purchasing" tickets with points through a reseller, and are "paying" more points than actual face value.  Most of the listed shows are not sold out, and I could pay actual face value money (plus fees) for actual tickets.  Is it better to trade virtual money for actual tickets that essentially cost me nothing but virtually cost me more than I would or should have to pay, or do I pay actual money (plus fees) and save my virtual points for I have no idea whatever else you can get for points?

Assuming you can use the points for something else, this seems like a no brainer.

Sonos 5 = $499 retail or 101,000 points.  Each point is worth 1/2 a penny.
Clutch = $40 (incl fees) or 9,600 points. Each point is worth 4/10 of a penny.
Roger Waters = $175 (incl fees) or 35,000 points. Each point is worth 1/2 a penny.

I guess I'll pay cash for whatever I would buy if the points didn't exist, and use points for to "splurge" for whatever I wouldn't spend cash for.  Gmm.

my opinion is ...unless it's a company card and you are able to keep the points (or things you purchase are reimbursed)
Points/Rewards are a fools errand...you can ALWAYS find a better deal on your own


you should look for the card with the biggest cash back
I've got the Blue Cash Card from American Express
3% at U.S supermarkets on up to $6,000 per year in purchases (then 1%);
2% at U.S gas stations;
1% on other purchases

Only bummer is the $75 fee
but the supermarket one covers that fee in just 1 month


Citi double cash looks like it might be the best deal now


I haven't done a lot of comparison on the air miles
but my understanding is it same...very few times where your miles are better than cash back

correct me if I'm wrong

Pre kids, we flew Southwest multiple times a year... even with kids we still fly at least once, maybe twice a year. Anyway, long story short, I don't think I've purchased a Southwest flight for at least four or five years because of the ridiculous amounts of points we have from our credit card.  The last two years we've even had a companion pass which is where someone flies for free on every single flight.

So in this scenario, I feel like the points are better than $$$. I love the feeling of flying for the holidays for free vs. being like, "fuck, I just spent $1,500 to fly to the inlaws for four days."

Ya feel me sidehutch?
Title: Re: random . . . randomness
Post by: grateful on November 08, 2016, 04:50:42 pm
Yeah, I didn't seek out the points.  Its a no-fee low interest card, and I just noticed the points I'd apparently been accumulating over the years.

I tapped him on the shoulder and said" DFA? ..it's sidehatch"
I extended my hand and we shook ....then he did seal it with a hug

He told me he'd call me in the morning, but the digits he gave me turned out to be a suicide hotline

When I use voice to text, on my Samsung Galaxy phone, and I say a curse word, it posts asterisks instead of typing out the curse word. Don't blame me, blame the Holiness of Samsung.

I think it's neat, and I really don't give a f***, when I am too lazy to type out words and use voice to text. But the one thing I hate about voice to text, is half the time it doesn't even post the right f****** word that I'm saying.

If any of you were planning on using the bathroom between the WW2 Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial, I have a word of advice. Don't.

The homeless guy (guys?) has begun his annual residency there and it stinks like a motherfucker in there already.

Speaking of the WW2 Memorial, it looked like they were having some kind of thing commemorating Pearl Harbor today. I'm not sure if they trotted out Old Bob Dole for this one, but I did see him there a couple of years ago.

Imagine if you lived in a city where everyone still believed in Santa Claus. Not just the children, but grown, educated adults.

Imagine that they believed that Santa Claus was real, that he was watching us, making his list, checking it twice, with an army of elves to help him keep track of our actions and deeds. If Santa concluded that we were good, he would reward us. If he believed we were bad, we would be punished.

Imagine that these people believed strongly enough in Santa Claus to write to him regularly and ask him for things -- not just the children, but all the adults too. But no one had ever really seen him, or his elves, or his reindeer pulling his sleigh across the sky. They just had faith that he was there.

Imagine that whenever you asked one of them to prove Santa's existence, they responded with, "Well, you can't disprove it." And you knew they were right -- no one can ever really prove that Santa Claus DOESN'T exist.

Imagine that every time you tried to bring up how juvenile and delusional it is for grown, educated adults to believe in Santa and his elves, you were admonished and told to address their belief in Santa with "respect." You were told not to use words like "delusional" or "ridiculous" to describe this unwavering belief of grown adults -- in Santa Claus.

Imagine if a small group of these people were actually ready to kill you if you mocked or questioned the idea of Santa Claus -- or even Rudolph.

 Imagine that this belief was being taught in science classes. Or was being used to justify violence, harsh corporal punishments, and war against those who dared to question it -- or worse, against those who believed in the Tooth Fairy instead.

Imagine seeing all of this happen in your city every day. Imagine your Harvard-educated mayor asking for Santa's blessing after every public speech.

Imagine wanting to honestly and openly talk about how mind-blowingly ridiculous it is for a majority of grown adults around you (including many whom you love and otherwise respect) to really, genuinely believe in Santa -- but holding your tongue for fear of being accused of "bigotry" against Santa Claus believers.

Imagine, then, being forced to treat their beliefs with "respect" -- and always having to discuss them as if you're taking them seriously -- when deep inside, you despise these beliefs for their sheer, utter wickedness and stupidity.

THAT'S what it's like.

*NOTE: No, Walkie, this is not a gay porno.

This is a discussion that has occurred somewhat informally in our household. (the atheist celebrating Christmas thing...and ftr, I would call myself an agnostic). I think there are enough non-Christian elements and history involved that it's easy for a non-Christian to pick and choose and ultimately still celebrate Xmas in some way, without compromising their belief system.


Many popular customs associated with Christmas developed independently of the commemoration of Jesus' birth, with certain elements having origins in pre-Christian festivals that were celebrated around the winter solstice by pagan populations who were later converted to Christianity. These elements, including the Yule log from Yule and gift giving from Saturnalia, became syncretized into Christmas over the centuries. The prevailing atmosphere of Christmas has also continually evolved since the holiday's inception, ranging from a sometimes raucous, drunken, carnival-like state in the Middle Ages, to a tamer family-oriented and children-centered theme introduced in a 19th-century transformation. Additionally, the celebration of Christmas was banned on more than one occasion within certain Protestant groups, such as the Puritans, due to concerns that it was too pagan or unbiblical. Jehovah's Witnesses also reject the celebration of Christmas.

Me, I'm cool with a tree, a few lights on the house, exchanging a small gift or two the morning of 12/25, and having good food and a glass of Hardywood's Christmas Morning. I don't think that makes me a Christian.  ;)

what is worse . . . stereotyping black people, by calling them brothers, or that all of them have big cocks, or that if you go to jail, you will only be raped or fucked, by said big dick brothers, or some kid being retarded, or the fact that having gay sex at all, be it in prison, is in itself a bad thing.

Went to the MGM Saturday night after the bar closed. That place is super nice. I lost $200 on roullete smh.

I also don't understand how the drink situation there works... All the restaurants and bars were closed, but the servers were still taking orders for alcohol, but you have to pay. So, I'm not sure if you get free drinks...

I vow my revenge on those tables. I sat at one table and it hit on red 8 times in a row and the times it didn't it hit on green. HOW!?!? Switched tables and the same thing happened but on black. Ridiculous.

I always attributed it to Orioles fans living in the area. It doesn't happen [much] at Nats games. Caps fans also yell the "RED!" in "red glare", which I think is a cool touch.

and that is the thing about George Michael.. I really think he largely squandered the gifts he had been given..

This letter from Frank Sinatra is dead on...spot on.. unfortunately.... and from that letter on how many albums did George Michael release? Three (one a very underwhelming covers album even I did not like and I tended to like just about everything he did...).. in 26 years.. his last studio album was in 2004

The article of course is complete bullshit..but the letter is not....


When Sinatra said he'd been there.. he'd been there... the period between leaving Columbia and Mitch Miller and signing with Capitol.....quite a few years.. where he was basically being supported by his mistress and then girlfriend Ava Gardner... complete wasted years.. and he knew it... he knew he'd wasted much of his prime feeling sorry for himself and drinking....and when he got a miraculous second chance spurred largely by his role as Maggio in From Here to Eternity.. well, he conquered the world and he never looked back... and he kept working and working and working..

Not to mention the soundtracks, man, the soundtracks!! Titanic, Rent, Wicked, Dirty Dancing!!

It's weird because you have all this college-girl-who-thinks-shes-artsy stuff like the soundtracks and the NSync and Backstreet Boys and John Mayer, then all of a sudden her life takes a weird turn to the jammy stuff.

But where the hell did the System of a Down, 3 Doors Down, Creed, and Counting Crows come from? Did she inherit the Beatles and Floyd or did a jam kid turn her on to them? Where does the Dashboard Confessional fit in!?

Hey guys, I met up with that girl -- who incidentally was both a ginger and was named Ginger -- last night to buy the Billy Joel CD. Sadly I was somewhat unsuccessful in getting to the root of her musical dilemma. I said, "that's some diverse taste you have in music, how did you get into all of those groups" as an ice-breaker and she laughed and said "college." I asked where she went to college and she said Appalachian State. I was then triggered by memories of the 2007 Appalachian State-Michigan football game and could not follow up with more questions.

I let the whole team down.

Post by: Yada on January 06, 2017, 11:30:06 am
interesting perspective from Mr. Brian Eno.

2016/2017
The consensus among most of my friends seems to be that 2016 was a terrible year, and the beginning of a long decline into something we don?t even want to imagine.

2016 was indeed a pretty rough year, but I wonder if it?s the end - not the beginning - of a long decline. Or at least the beginning of the end?.for I think we?ve been in decline for about 40 years, enduring a slow process of de-civilisation, but not really quite noticing it until now. I?m reminded of that thing about the frog placed in a pan of slowly heating water?

This decline includes the transition from secure employment to precarious employment, the destruction of unions and the shrinkage of workers? rights, zero hour contracts, the dismantling of local government, a health service falling apart, an underfunded education system ruled by meaningless exam results and league tables, the increasingly acceptable stigmatisation of immigrants, knee-jerk nationalism, and the concentration of prejudice enabled by social media and the internet.

This process of decivilisation grew out of an ideology which sneered at social generosity and championed a sort of righteous selfishness. (Thatcher: ?Poverty is a personality defect?. Ayn Rand: ?Altruism is evil?). The emphasis on unrestrained individualism has had two effects: the creation of a huge amount of wealth, and the funnelling of it into fewer and fewer hands. Right now the 62 richest people in the world are as wealthy as the bottom half of its population combined. The Thatcher/Reagan fantasy that all this wealth would ?trickle down? and enrich everybody else simply hasn?t transpired. In fact the reverse has happened: the real wages of most people have been in decline for at least two decades, while at the same time their prospects - and the prospects for their children - look dimmer and dimmer. No wonder people are angry, and turning away from business-as-usual government for solutions. When governments pay most attention to whoever has most money, the huge wealth inequalities we now see make a mockery of the idea of democracy. As George Monbiot said: ?The pen may be mightier than the sword, but the purse is mightier than the pen?.

Last year people started waking up to this. A lot of them, in their anger, grabbed the nearest Trump-like object and hit the Establishment over the head with it. But those were just the most conspicuous, media-tasty awakenings. Meanwhile there?s been a quieter but equally powerful stirring: people are rethinking what democracy means, what society means and what we need to do to make them work again. People are thinking hard, and, most importantly, thinking out loud, together. I think we underwent a mass disillusionment in 2016, and finally realised it?s time to jump out of the saucepan.

This is the start of something big. It will involve engagement: not just tweets and likes and swipes, but thoughtful and creative social and political action too. It will involve realising that some things we?ve taken for granted - some semblance of truth in reporting, for example - can no longer be expected for free. If we want good reporting and good analysis, we?ll have to pay for it. That means MONEY: direct financial support for the publications and websites struggling to tell the non-corporate, non-establishment side of the story. In the same way if we want happy and creative children we need to take charge of education, not leave it to ideologues and bottom-liners. If we want social generosity, then we must pay our taxes and get rid of our tax havens. And if we want thoughtful politicians, we should stop supporting merely charismatic ones.

Inequality eats away at the heart of a society, breeding disdain, resentment, envy, suspicion, bullying, arrogance and callousness. If we want any decent kind of future we have to push away from that, and I think we?re starting to.

There?s so much to do, so many possibilities. 2017 should be a surprising year.

Will any of you be celebrating on Friday?



Lee?Jackson Day is a holiday celebrated in the Commonwealth of Virginia in the U.S., for the birthdays of Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson.[1] The original holiday, created in 1889, celebrated Lee's birthday. Jackson's name was added to the holiday in 1904.

In 1983, the holiday was merged with the new Federal holiday, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, as Lee?Jackson?King Day in Virginia. This merger was reversed in 2000.

Lee?Jackson Day is currently observed on the Friday before Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, which is the third Monday in January. Typical events include a wreath-laying ceremony with military honors, a Civil War themed parade, symposia, and a gala ball.[2] State offices are closed for both holidays.[3]

Some localities such as Charlottesville, Richmond, Fairfax, Fredericksburg, Hampton, Lynchburg, and Norfolk, choose not to observe Lee?Jackson Day.[4]

observing history is one thing.. celebrating Lee and Jackson is another

but the whole Civil War is messed up and we just accept as gospel what we are told... ... if one really thinks about it who really was more at fault? The Union that refused to let the South secede even though that is what they wanted .. or the South who wanted to continue unethically practicing what they had practiced for hundreds of years and for about 70 years with the acquiescence of the North..a North that had benefitted from these practices...

to have such a bloody war to force people to stay in your country who wanted to leave because they want to keep doing what they were doing... doesn't strike me as being particularly virtuous....

of course we could say that my explanation is not entirely true and that the war was more about the expansion of slavery into the new states....the south saw it as necessary but more so as not to be vulnerable to the rest of the nation forcing it to end slavery

or we can say the war was not about slavery at all really and more about economic interests

but the fact remains.. the South wanted to leave the Union and the Union forced it to stay by destroying the South in the bloodiest of wars that the planet had ever witnessed....

we don't know that was George Michael.. I say just ignore the pictures...


even if it is him he was probably quite ill and taking lots of medications which probably would explain it.....I mean he nearly died a few years ago

it drives me crazy when people spread shit about dead people.. let the guy have the peace and quiet in death that he couldn't find in life.. is that too much to ask?

Fuckery?

It's super surreal. I listened to the speech this morning. It's kind of wonderful to hear/see what a state race relations were in back then and to see how far we had come... but also how sad some of those sentiments still ring true with race relations today and with movements like BLM. Crazy. 54 years later.

I don't know where else to put this, and can't really figure it out right now.

The grand finale of the shit show that was 2016 is that the father of a good friend died on New Year's Eve.  That makes 3 in my inner circle that lost a parent in the last 6 months, myself included.  The funeral is in NC on January 19th, and I intend to be there.

For Christmas, Mrs. excon bought me tickets to see Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt at Strathmore...also January 19th.  I don't know the exact location of the seats, but I vaguely recall them being excellent. (I'll check tonight.)

I'm hoping to sell at face value.  If anybody here is interested, PM me and I can provide more details.  Thanks...

Now back to your regular shenanigans.

yes but i want to hear what James Ford means... is it a terrorist attack if white people gun down people of muslim faith ..or only if people who claim to have muslim faith kill white people? or if people of muslim faith kill people of muslim faith?



i find the Sam Harris' and Fords' pretty much to have facilitated Trump's ban... they try to walk a fine line.. .they get too cute... they're like yes islam is a huge problem and the liberal apologists are the problem but at the same time "hey now, we don't want to be associated with this Trump thing.."

personally i think the muslim ban from certain countries is ridiculous on many levels (and i'm still unclear on how it affects greencard holders /permanent residents, and other key issues) but i also think vetting people in different ways coming from different countries is very doable.. we already do it...our Embassies and consulates do that every day...there is nothing to preclude a few extra checks here or there.. a different form there.. a longer waiting period ... higher fees.. we do that all the time... when the Argentina economy fell apart in 2000 and Argentine people started "visiting" the US and simply never leaving the US changed its policies and made it much much harder... you don't have to do it as a "muslim" thing.. you just do it on a country by country basis as the situation warrants it... I honestly think Trump has done it in this way ON PURPOSE.. yes, this messy way.. to send a signal to his base that "You see, I did what I said.. i'm a man of action.. now look at those whiny liberals"....He did not want to execute it in a well thought out reasoned manner on purpose... the ban as implemented makes zero sense.. what about Saudi Arabia? I mean geez..

but getting back to my point.. people like Ford and Harris cannot walk away from Trump cause they own this.. .they try to get cute and say they don't but they do... we've seen Ford make his bigoted statements on this board dozens and dozens of times.... he can't say that those statements have no relation to what is happening... sorry dude....doesn't work that way..

Terrorist attack: Type of: act of terrorism, terrorism, terrorist act. the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear. coup de main, surprise attack.


Also: I don't think publically criticizing the ideas of a religion constitutes bigotry, in fact it's important to do so in this day and age. Though I will acknowledge that having that religion be Islam and having the "public" be a message board filled with  liberals in a sense amounts to some fun trolling.  I have no doubt it would be equally fun to go on a message board filled with conservatives and lay out the idiocies of Christianity.  :D

I don't call out Muslims as a whole. I call out the religion, which is inherently steeped in violence, as is Christianity. Most Muslims are peaceful people. Most Christians are peaceful people. But they're peaceful precisely because they ignore the violent parts of their religious doctrine.

To ignore the violent elements of Islam or Christianity is a detraction from much needed theological reform. And by doing so, YOU are part of the problem, an enabler of radical Islam.

Mr. Bissonnette, 27, who was also charged with five counts of attempted murder, appeared at the Quebec City courthouse looking boyish in a white jumpsuit.
(...)
Mr. Bissonnette was well known to people who monitor far-right groups in Quebec, where he frequently commented on sites speaking about immigration and Islam. He was a particularly vocal supporter of Marine Le Pen, leader of France?s far right, when she visited the city last year."

No need to apologize.

 His rant was about the immigration, and he also posited the idea that the ignorant redneck base is not much different philosophically than Islamic terrorists.

You've got a flight out of DCA in the afternoon? Gotcha. But many of these people are rolling their suitcases around even though they're only going to work and right back home.

I was not fully aware of the rampant overdose problem that is going on in the states of west Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania.  In the last six months or so, in the upper Shenandoah Valley, mainly Winchester, all of a sudden there were all these overdose reports on various facebook fire and rescue related pages.  People were using #enoughisenough. 

Evidentially, in Ohio, there is a morgue back up problem due to all the deaths . . . and I heard one podcast entertainer compare it to the crack epidemic of the 80s, but not heavily talked about because it is coming from such rural locations.

fentanyl and heroin are both highly addictive opioids.  some of what is sold as heroin is in fact cut fentanyl.  nowadays where you have one, you almost always have the other.

Compared with women in the 18-to-24 age group, women in the 25-to-34 group were 83 percent less likely to groom, the study found. And women ages 55 to 64 were 96 percent less likely to groom compared with 18- to 24-year-old women.

I didn't a single woman under 24 (or maybe just one) in my second go around.  But you know what did do?  Date educated women:

"women who had gone to college were 3.4 times more likely to groom than those who did not have a high school degree. Income also played a role: Women who made more than $100,000 a year were 22 percent more likely to groom than those who made less than $50,000 a year."

does milo go away now?  does anything that he did matter?  was he too young for his own mouth?  I love when reality becomes television script material.  like miss lohan.  we love the wounded character that may reside in ourselves, in certain sections.  but I am tired of the press and the people talking about him, still.  ugh.  I am still talking about it . . . because crazy people who base their craziness off of levels of sanity, fascinate me.

He will find plenty of audiences that will pay to hear him speak, or at least spark a controversy with just an invitation.

But I wish he would just go away.

I work in a building with only six floors, but with at least 12 elavators spread out over two locations. It never takes more than five seconds to get an elevator once you press the call button, even during "rush hour".

I hate it when you get in an elevator and the door starts closing and some asshole is running down the hall but is still 20 feet away and starts yelling "Hold the elevator, hold the elevator!".

Then  you don't hold the elevator and the door closes before he gets to it and then you hear him start pounding on the elevator and cursing at you, because he's going to have to wait another five seconds to get another elevator. Actually, I don't hate this part. This part is actually quite amusing. Especially when I pretend that guy is Hutch.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/24/opinion/barring-the-white-house-press-corps-from-the-white-house.html



"They say that we can?t criticize their dishonest coverage because of the First Amendment, you know, they always bring up the First Amendment,? trump said. 

That First Amendment can be inconvenient for anyone longing for power without scrutiny. Mr. Trump might want to brush up on what it means, and get used to it.



in another article...

the Committee to Protect Journalists, which typically advocates press rights in countries with despotic regimes, issued an alarmed statement on Friday about Mr. Trump?s escalating language.
?It is not the job of political leaders to determine how journalists should conduct their work, and sets a terrible example for the rest of the world,? said the group?s executive director, Joel Simon. ?The U.S. should be promoting press freedom and access to information.?

It was a sloppy, ugly game, but it was also competitive right up until the end, and I'll take that over a blowout any day. I thought defensively it was pretty good. Too much ref interference though.

Followed by both teams utter inability to hit any free throws. Michigan's virtually all-white lineup weeps over those fundamentals.

The State of Michigan doesn't care about black people. The University of Michigan defended its right to use affirmative action in law school admissions in front of the Supreme Court numerous times (e.g. Grutter v. Bollinger).

That whole state law was a way for white trash who had no connection to the University of Michigan but were "outraged" over "libtards" to do an end-run around the school's autonomy with regards to admissions policies as upheld in the aforementioned case. UofM filed a friends of the court brief in opposition to the Constitutionality of Proposal 2.

My burgeoning Julian Mocking Me Detector is going off again...

The book has some interesting content as far as I can tell.. including a list of all bands to have headlined with the years they did  and even if those bands opened "on their way up"...

also, if you've gone to a lot of shows kind of fun to try and find yourself in the book.... the Bob Dylan shots were my a good opportunity for me but the picture does not go far back enough cause I was in the middle of the floor...

I was surprised to see how much the Toasters played there (over 80 times!)...and other ska bands.. I guess DC had a huge Ska scene of which very little remains...


I guess I better get started and copy paste this onto the Books thread..

it is amazing, how controlled I still am . . . by television.  ever since a small child, I cannot stop myself from allowing large chunks of hours to be dedicated towards it.  people tell me you could accomplish so much with that time wasted away on the couch, but will I learn as much as I do from that window into so many lives I vicariously exist through, as when I am simply out living in that basic world around me.

Because at 10am on a Thursday or Friday when tickets go on sale, my other option is not surfing the web or watching TV, it's working and getting paid. Your time has a value. The gasoline you put in your vehicle to get to a box office has a cost.

There are some shows where that collective cost is lower than the ticketing fees. For example, if I know a show at The National (which is less than two miles from my home) isn't going to sell out on the first day, I will often go to the box office. But if I want to see some band play the enormodome in Va Beach or DC and I'd like reasonably good seats (which will sell out early), the ticketing fee is a fraction of what it'd cost me to go to the box office and get them.

I will never understand people complaining about ticketing fees. It the worst collective idea this board shares.

Tickets went on sale at 10am on a Saturday. We don't have weekend jobs. We were buying three lawn tickets. Which you can get AT ANY TIME, as long as the show doesn't sell out. There was no way Wilco was going to be an instant sell out at Wolftrap. It still hasn't sold out, six weeks after going on sale. Ticket fees were $22.75.

We live 45 minutes round trip and about $3 in gas round trip away from the box office. Sometimes we are even over in that area for other things, and that would negate the time and gas costs.


I don't have a beef with ticket fees when there are options to avoiding them, as was this case.

Post by: hutch on June 01, 2017, 12:54:13 pm

I think you're grading harshly. It works both as a pure reference but its also a sly, self-aware joke about how a group of scooter riders cannot pass themselves off as a rough and tumble biker gang; the most menacing they can qualify for is a "social club". I think it's a solid B+ name.

batterie, from the verb battre, "to hit".  so batterie would be the noun generated from the verb to hit, in other words in french you are essentially calling drums "hit" or "hitter".  batterie is always singular, since it is a collective noun a la Borg.

That's where I was leaning...but Perriello got the nod from Sanders/Warren...so that made me want to investigate more

Ed G is going to be a tough challenger and Northam...well...has the personality of a doorknob
I do like that the NRA hates Northam, but this is a pretty gun friendly state

I do like Perriello's stance on the “right-to-work” (hate that phrase...should be "right-to-destroy-unions")

I do like that they are both in support of Free community college and I really like the plan that Northam proposed: Free financial aid to community college...in exchange for a year of public service.
What I like about that is: The student will actually have a real job to put on their resume and references in addition to their degree.  That's really a big deal on getting your career started

Perriello really can't hide from his track record in congress...supporting an unsuccessful amendment to the Affordable Care Act that would have limited coverage of abortion in private health plans, supporting the National Rifle Association and accepting its endorsement, and backing oil drilling off the Virginia coast.
of course now he's against the Petro Power

I do question northam a little in that he voted for GW twice...but I'm willing to forgive that transgression

I do question northam a little in that he voted for GW twice...but I'm willing to forgive that transgression


Wow didn't realize polling has them in a dead heat!

Despite the unfortunate posturing on offshore Drilling Perriello is better on the environment.  He's against the two fracking pipelines and is refusing Dominion Money.

He voted for George Washington???

the way I see it:


this VA primary is the election that will keep repeating itself until the bloodfest that will be the 2020 primary.... the Sanders candidate with very little experience but a lot of talking against the more seasoned guy backed by the democratic party establishment... the Sanders Faction has become our Tea Party..Northam is a guy who like Hillary has earned it... the one caveat is that Virginia is a pretty conservative state...but it also must be said that in today's topsy turvy world anything could happen in the fall...We really like our Representative Don Beyer and we got a robocall from him last night....of course backing Northam..as does the current Governor and Virginia's two national senators.. so its pretty clear.. the party and experience against the upstart being backed by the guys trying to overthrow the party.. Many do not know seem aware that Sanders only joined the Democratic Party a few months before running in the primaries..

People tell me I'm crazy but I really think Sanders will run in 2020.. and so will Biden..of course with two guys in their 70s and still three years away anything could happen...and I think Sanders will prevail and get the nomination..

a ton of people will run... probably between 15-20 democrats..you will have your pick..

I will vote for any democratic nominee in the general..some i will be excited to do so.. and some I will not... but in the primaries so far the only guy I would campaign for or donate money to - the only guy that I really would like to see be the nominee- would be Al Franken whom I adore... .I'm doubtful he will run but I sure hope so..

I don't think Michelle Obama has any interest at all in running and as much as i love her I just can't see her nomination being anything other than divisive...I also don't believe we will see a female president in my lifetime.. If Hillary couldn't do it- the most qualified candidate in our history- I don't see any other woman doing it.. there are a whole hell of a lot of Americans that need to die off before we see that...

well unlike Julian, I hope you live a long life and I don't think you are correct
she was qualified, but had major baggage and there was a large population that were brainwashed since the 90s to hate her even if the other candidate was Mephistopheles

for fucksakes, she won the popular vote by 3 million (wow trump finally stopped that stupid idea of the illegal votes...I never thought he'd let that drop)

I do think that there are 50 million that would be up for voting for the right woman candidate

I do think Michelle is an interesting pick, but I'm not really looking for a total novice like Donny "I'm new at this" Trump
and I kind of think that she doesn't want to be in the spot light.  I think she will be a player and kingmaker tho

I think Thin Lizzy from where there is a massive2shits will certainly make a run for it
I'm thinking she may have the power to pull a lot of the disaffected Trump voters who thought he would help lower middle class white people in the south and Midwest...when they realized they got bamboozled by a huckster

Hillary Clinton was unable to article why she wanted to be president or what she would do to help Americans.  She was too close to the banks and Wall Street Money.  She was incredibly timid and cautious.  She thought she could win simply by making it a critique of Trump and the crazy shit he said. 

I'm ready for the Sanders wing of the Democratic party.  I don't care if he was never a Democrat before the election.  I don't see party allegiance as a valuable thing (though I expect the party apparatus to close ranks around its own like it did with Hillary).  In fact, the problem right now is that the Republicans have entirely too much party allegiance. 

Perriello is exciting because he's willing to challenge money in VA politics and the absurd campaign contribution laws.  He's exciting because he helped found a dynamic organization like Avaaz.  Unfortunately, he was too cautious in the House and those votes are hurting him as he tries to express the progressive vision.

It is interesting to see how this plays out.  One there are a lot of old leaders in the democratic party, there is a need for some new blood in management
question is...will they go establishment suck up...or go straight to the voters A-la sanders
Sanders wing of the democratic party just sounds weird as he NEVER supported anyone in the democratic party
...could be an uprising if democrats actually vote in the primaries

In my gut, I feel Donny is horrible and there could be some massively horrendous changes that will take generations to undo
He has gotten people (on both sides) very interested in civics and politics in general...and that is the only silver lining on this turd
mostly because the press has to keep explaining that what Trump is doing is without precedent or borderline illegal and explain why trump can't wave his wand and create a Muslim ban (see we all learned about the balance of power in the 3 branches)

in the end, there is no doubt if more people vote...let's say 65% of eligible voters show up in 2020 (I know I'm dreaming) ...the next president will surely be democratic

hey in 1960 it was a smidgen below 63%

ah the sexist jokes.. .bring it on.. ignore her year's as First Lady if you wish.. she was involved in policy at different points you know..

First Lady of the United States
When Bill Clinton took office as President in January 1993, Hillary Rodham Clinton became the First Lady, and her press secretary reiterated that she would be using that form of her name.[c] She was the first inaugural First Lady to have earned a postgraduate degree and to have her own professional career up to the time of entering the White House.[142] She was also the first to have an office in the West Wing of the White House in addition to the usual first lady offices in the East Wing.[59][143] She was part of the innermost circle vetting appointments to the new administration and her choices filled at least eleven top-level positions and dozens more lower-level ones.[144] After Eleanor Roosevelt, Clinton was regarded as the most openly empowered presidential wife in American history.[145][146]
Some critics called it inappropriate for the first lady to play a central role in matters of public policy. Supporters pointed out that Clinton's role in policy was no different from that of other White House advisors and that voters had been well aware that she would play an active role in her husband's presidency.[147] Bill Clinton's campaign promise of "two for the price of one" led opponents to refer derisively to the Clintons as "co-presidents" or sometimes use the Arkansas label "Billary".[99][148][149] The pressures of conflicting ideas about the role of a first lady were enough to send Hillary Clinton into "imaginary discussions"[clarification needed] with the also-politically-active Eleanor Roosevelt.[f] From the time she came to Washington, Hillary also found refuge in a prayer group of the Fellowship that featured many wives of conservative Washington figures.[153][154] Triggered in part by the death of her father in April 1993, she publicly sought to find a synthesis of Methodist teachings, liberal religious political philosophy, and Tikkun editor Michael Lerner's "politics of meaning" to overcome what she saw as America's "sleeping sickness of the soul"; that would lead to a willingness "to remold society by redefining what it means to be a human being in the twentieth century, moving into a new millennium."[155][156]
Health care and other policy initiatives
See also: Clinton health care plan of 1993

Clinton at a presentation on her health care plan in September 1993
In January 1993, President Clinton named Hillary to chair a Task Force on National Health Care Reform, hoping to replicate the success she had in leading the effort for Arkansas education reform.[157] Unconvinced regarding the merits of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), she privately urged that passage of health care reform be given higher priority.[158][159] The recommendation of the task force became known as the Clinton health care plan, a comprehensive proposal that would require employers to provide health coverage to their employees through individual health maintenance organizations. Its opponents quickly derided the plan as "Hillarycare", and it faced opposition from even some Democrats in Congress.[160] Some protesters against the proposed plan became vitriolic, and during a July 1994 bus tour to rally support for the plan, Clinton wore a bulletproof vest at times.[160]
Failing to gather enough support for a floor vote in either the House or the Senate (although Democrats controlled both chambers), the proposal was abandoned in September 1994.[161] Clinton later acknowledged in her memoir that her political inexperience partly contributed to the defeat, but cited many other factors. The First Lady's approval ratings, which had generally been in the high-50s percent range during her first year, fell to 44 percent in April 1994 and 35 percent by September 1994.[162]
Republicans made the Clinton health care plan a major campaign issue of the 1994 midterm elections.[163] Republicans saw a net gain of fifty-three seats in the House election and seven in the Senate election, winning control of both; many analysts and pollsters found the plan to be a major factor in the Democrats' defeat, especially among independent voters.[164] The White House subsequently sought to downplay Clinton's role in shaping policy.[165] Opponents of universal health care would continue to use "Hillarycare" as a pejorative label for similar plans by others.[166]
Clinton reads a book to an African-American grade-schooler in Maryland during Read Across America Day in 1998
Clinton reads to a Maryland child during Read Across America Day, 1998
Along with Senators Ted Kennedy and Orrin Hatch, Clinton was a force behind the passage of the State Children's Health Insurance Program in 1997, a federal bill that gave state support to children whose parents could not provide them health coverage, and conducted outreach efforts on behalf of enrolling children in the program once it became law.[167] She promoted nationwide immunization against childhood diseases and encouraged older women to get a mammogram for breast cancer screening, with coverage provided by Medicare.[168] She successfully sought to increase research funding for prostate cancer and childhood asthma at the National Institutes of Health.[59] The First Lady worked to investigate reports of an illness that affected veterans of the Gulf War, which became known as the Gulf War syndrome.[59]
Enactment of welfare reform was a major goal of Bill Clinton's presidency, but when the first two bills on the issue came from a Republican-controlled Congress that lacked protections for people coming off welfare, Hillary urged him to veto the bills, which he did.[169][170] A third version came up during his 1996 general election campaign that restored some of the protections but cut the scope of benefits in other areas; critics, including her past mentor Edelman, urged her to get the president to veto it again.[169] But she decided to support the bill, which became the Welfare Reform Act of 1996, as the best political compromise available.[169][170] This caused a rift with Edelman that Hillary later called "sad and painful".[170]
Together with Attorney General Janet Reno, Clinton helped create the Office on Violence Against Women at the Department of Justice.[59] In 1997, she initiated and shepherded the Adoption and Safe Families Act, which she regarded as her greatest accomplishment as first lady.[59][171] In 1999, she was instrumental in the passage of the Foster Care Independence Act, which doubled federal monies for teenagers aging out of foster care.[171] As first lady, Clinton was the host for various White House conferences, including ones on Child Care (1997),[172] on Early Childhood Development and Learning (1997),[173] and on Children and Adolescents (2000).[174] She also hosted the first-ever White House Conference on Teenagers (2000)[175] and the first-ever White House Conference on Philanthropy (1999).[176]
Clinton traveled to 79 countries during this time,[177] breaking the mark for most-traveled first lady held by Pat Nixon.[178] She did not hold a security clearance or attend National Security Council meetings, but played a role in U.S. diplomacy attaining its objectives.[179] A March 1995 five-nation trip to South Asia, on behest of the U.S. State Department and without her husband, sought to improve relations with India and Pakistan.[180] Clinton was troubled by the plight of women she encountered, but found a warm response from the people of the countries she visited and gained a better relationship with the American press corps.[181] The trip was a transformative experience for her and presaged her eventual career in diplomacy.[182]
Clinton speaking at a podium with several onlookers. She is delivering her "human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights" speech in Beijing during September 1995.
Clinton delivering her "human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights" speech in Beijing in September 1995
In a September 1995 speech before the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, Clinton argued very forcefully against practices that abused women around the world and in the People's Republic of China itself,[183] declaring that "it is no longer acceptable to discuss women's rights as separate from human rights".[183] Delegates from over 180 countries heard her say: "If there is one message that echoes forth from this conference, let it be that human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights, once and for all."[184] In doing so, she resisted both internal administration and Chinese pressure to soften her remarks.[177][184] The speech became a key moment in the empowerment of women and years later women around the world would recite Clinton's key phrases.[185] She was one of the most prominent international figures during the late 1990s to speak out against the treatment of Afghan women by the Taliban.[186][187] She helped create Vital Voices, an international initiative sponsored by the U.S. to encourage the participation of women in the political processes of their countries.[188] It and Clinton's own visits encouraged women to make themselves heard in the Northern Ireland peace process.[189]

My bigger point on Clinton is that there was no enthusiasm for her.  I readily admit that I thought it was enough for her to win, but I was really nervous, I thought Hillary was going to win the election. More importantly though, as people get more hardened into political parties elections become more and more about turn out.  That's why I think that the move of the democratic Party to the left has real legs.  It energizes the base and there is more to gain by getting the base out than there is by trying to pander to the center or moderate Republicans who aren't going to vote for a Dem anyway. 



Sanders wing of the democratic party just sounds weird as he NEVER supported anyone in the democratic party
...could be an uprising if democrats actually vote in the primaries



Would it sound less weird if I called it the Ellison, Grijalva, Waters wing of the Democratic Party?  Raskin fits in there as well.  There are a bunch of House members who are as progressive, or maybe more, than Sanders is (though obviously with less profile).  I still think that Ellison losing just shows how afraid Dems are of Muslim backlash.

I think the bigger deal is that none of these "qualifications" matter if you don't believe that the candidate is going to represent you and your interests.  She was never able to connect with people on that level. I have no question that Hillary lost in part because of sexism (just like she lost in part because of the electoral college) but I don't think that is just sexism.  That was an election that a woman could have won, she just didn't.

umm she did get 3 million more votes gavroche with all due respect..

moreover, Comey coming out twice in the last week had a lot to do with it or how do you explain the shift? there was a shift the last week.. which is why all of a sudden Hillary went to Michigan etc... the polls shifted and the result shifted accordingly on the final election day poll

I find you to be parroting the prog wing line of the democratic party...the base of the democratic party are not socialists... as far as not energizing people .. I was energized.. I don't know...Nate Silver feels she actually energized more democrats and had more support in the democratic base than Sanders...

my personal opinion is that she was done in by two factors: Sanders who hung on for months tearing her apart and giving Trump all his talking points and then lukewarmly supported her.. this was not a Hilary endorsement of Obama.. he was basically talking at college campuses..not very helpful... and Comey...


we obviously disagree.. was everybody excited by Hillary.. no of course not... but hey I remember my parents being excited by another progressive candidate when they were young.. his name was Mcgovern... sorta forgotten.. look up how well he did..

I thought she ran a great campaign... its always the case that if you lose people say you ran a shitty campaign but the shitty campaign was Donald Trump or do you not remember? Every day it was a clownshow..lets look at some measures of a campaign

1. debates
2. fundraising
3. misteps (i can think of two... that hurt.. early on the comment about mining in WV.. and the comment about deplorables.. for a long campaign not exactly terrible)
4. the convention

by all measures Hillary shredded Trump in these areas.. now maybe they don't matter...which brings us to the final point

Instead of saying Hillary made the mistakes how about saying the American people made the mistake? Or don't you believe it is the American people who are accountable.. there is an often quoted phrase: "People have the governments they deserve" (I paraphrase).. generally this quote has been very applicable to other countries.. like say Argentina (my family is from there)... but now I think it applies to us.. or how else do we explain it?

is the problem the kid being bullied or the people wacking the kid?

There is no other way to put it: the American people made a historically poor choice which in any other democracy would have still resulted in Hillary winning..unfortunately in our fucked up system the candidate with 3 million more votes is the loser. Stop looking for reasons to blame Hillary or the democratic party. This one is on us as a people. We fucked up... and now we pay for it and wack wack wack her some more cause it sucks?

I find you to be parroting the prog wing line of the democratic party...the base of the democratic party are not socialists... as far as not energizing people .. I was energized.. I don't know...Nate Silver feels she actually energized more democrats and had more support in the democratic base than Sanders...

So admittedly, I work in the progressive left (though outside the Democratic Party). I fundamentally believe that the Democrats would be better if they ran progressive candidates, supporting labor above capital and just in general changing their relationship .  I think that picking lefty wing populism over Wall Street dollars would be a good move for Dems in the short term and definitely in the long term. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/01/opinion/democratic-party-rich-thomas-edsall.html?rref=collection%2Fcolumn%2Fthomas-b-edsall&action=click&contentCollection=opinion&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=2&pgtype=collection (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/01/opinion/democratic-party-rich-thomas-edsall.html?rref=collection%2Fcolumn%2Fthomas-b-edsall&action=click&contentCollection=opinion&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=2&pgtype=collection)   I also believe that Corbyn's success supports this. 


I thought she ran a great campaign...

I at least was completely uninspired by Hillary (as well as Obama 2).  Almost everyone I know in my orbit felt the same way. 

by all measures Hillary shredded Trump in these areas.. now maybe they don't matter...which brings us to the final point

This is why I'm arguing that those are not the measures that matter now.  That what matters now is enthusiasm, because the electorate has become so partisan. 

my personal opinion is that she was done in by two factors: Sanders who hung on for months tearing her apart

Sanders was far nicer to Clinton than any of the Republicans were to Trump (and than Hillary and the Dems were to him).  She was so fragile that you think that hurt her but you want to tell me she was a good candidate?  He didn't even go after the emails.  I actually think she would have been better served if he had gone after the emails and cleared it off the deck.

No question I think the American people made the wrong choice.  Still, the job of the Democratic Party is to win elections.  The Democratic party needs to win elections in the future.  That means we can't just say that this one is "on the people" and not look for things that the Democrats can do better in the future. There is too much at stake for that.

of course we can.. why can't we? it is on the people.. that doesn't mean that we can't do better in the future... but i find the post election autopsy facile.... we have no way of knowing how a socialist like Bernie Sanders would have done...we can't assume because she lost that the problem was that she wasn't Bernie or progressive enough... I happen to think Donald trump is a very skilled politician and bully... . to think that he wouldn't have picked Bernie apart and emasculated like he did with Rubio, Cruz, Jeb, and Hillary etc etc seems to me to not be necessarily supported by the evidence...Bernie might have done better in the rust belt.. sure.. but he might have done worse in other states...

and basically every post-mortem i have seen departs from a false premise: that Hillary was a terrible candidate.. I don't think the evidence bears that out I'm sorry to say...every post-mortem departs from the same conventional "wisdom" that Trump was such a terrible candidate that hillary to lose to him must have been even worse..just hugely flawed..otherwise how could she lose to Trump? But Trump wasn't a terrible candidate.. he just ran a terrible campaign..they are not necessarily the same thing...But Jeb lost to him, Cruz..Rubio and you can go on down the list.. the point is that Trump while a complete ass-hat was contrary to conventional stupidity an appealing candidate.. what does that say about the American people? We can't escape that thorny issue.. and how do we deal with it? By becoming demagogical?

I can tell you that the democratic party needs to change its stance on immigration for example..but the progressive wing of the party is even LESS likely to do so than Hillary, Biden or the establishment... why are we spending so much energy standing up for illegal immigrants?? My parents are legal immigrants and most legal immigrants I know have no sympathy for illegal immigrants.. I could go on... we don't need to be demagogical but we do need to be a little bit more realistic...

the point is the emerging conventional wisdom on what the democratic party needs to do is flawed.. and yes I think if we want to win elections having the democratic party being presided by a Muslim is a little bit of a reach.. I'm sorry..what else should I conclude??? and yet it is the Bernie progs that were so into Ellison...heck for me Hillary even having Huma Abedin around her all the time was a mistake (and she did arguably end up costing her the election.. with her husband happening to be the little weiner).

I'm tired of hearing democrats beat down Hillary.. .I don't like it.. I did everything I could for her.. maybe if other democrats hadn't been so busy posting shit like "oh no we don't want to pick between the lesser of two evils" or "hey there are just the same".. HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET!! THIS IS WHAT BERNIE PEOPLE WERE SAYING OR DO YOU FORGET GAVROCHE??? Fuck man I remember on twitter bernie people comparing Hillary to Hitler.. BERNIE PEOPLE MY FRIEND NOT REPUBLICANS

Bernie Sanders: How Democrats Can Stop Losing Elections (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/13/opinion/bernie-sanders-how-democrats-can-stop-losing-elections.html)

In 2016, the Democratic Party lost the presidency to possibly the least popular candidate in American history.  In recent years, Democrats have also lost the Senate and House to right-wing Republicans whose extremist agenda is far removed from where most Americans are politically.  Republicans now control almost two-thirds of governor’s offices and have gained about 1,000 seats in state legislatures in the past nine years.  In 24 states, Democrats have almost no political influence at all.  If these results are not a clear manifestation of a failed political strategy, I don’t know what is.  For the sake of our country and the world, the Democratic Party, in a very fundamental way, must change direction.

Anyone know Scalise's stance on the 2nd amendment?

A strong supporter of the Second Amendment, Scalise has sponsored and cosponsored legislation protecting citizens' right to keep and bear arms. In the 112th Congress, Scalise introduced H.R. 58, the Firearms Interstate Commerce Reform Act, which improves law-abiding citizens' ability to purchase firearms. The bills Scalise has recently cosponsored include H.R.645, a bill to restore Second Amendment rights in the District of Columbia and the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011, H.R.822, which would ensure national reciprocity for concealed carry permit holders. Congressman Scalise's pro-gun stance has earned him an A+ rating from the National Rifle Association. A member of the Congressional Second Amendment Task Force, Congressman Steve Scalise will continue fighting to protect every citizen's Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

horrible stuff... but then again the Argentine league is horrible.. Italy is horrible..anything in the western hemisphere is crap... Asia is all crap..Africa is all crap...


actually truth be told I've soured on the world's game..I've had to sit through too many plodding games the past few years.. the past two world cups have been HORRIBLE... I just think at certain levels its a thing of beauty and you have a good chance of seeing something great... but you have to focus on the Premier league (pains me to write that) which is entertaining (totally focused on attacking and the players don't foul much at all.... there is a rare idea in the premier league that acting, fouling, cheating sucks) and the Champions League...I mean when you see a game like say Barcelona against Bayern.. clashes between the top clubs who spend hundreds and hundreds of millions to get the game's best from all over the world.. well..it can be beautiful

the last few World Cups have been horrible.. and unless FIFA changes its approach it will be horrible next year too.. I mean the way it is right now a guy like Messi plays like 2-3 times a week during the year...because his team is so good it plays the local league, the champions league, the national tournament (equivalent of FA Cup) and on top of that qualifying for Argentina having to travel thousands of miles and playing in shitty stadiums all over South America (high altitude you name it).. then before the world cup they give him like a week off and then he meets his world cup teamates for a couple of days and the world cup starts! no wonder his body is totally shot and he can't perform.. he is DEAD tired..his muscles are dead...multiply that through all the best players an they are dead tired at the WC and they get injured and pull muscles left and right... they are simply overworked... then you have other countries whose players relatively suck so they are lucky to play 20% of the games that the world's best do.. they are fresh as a cucumber and they are able to negate the best players.. they need to have the season end way early..give them 2 months off..then a month to train with their teams so they actually can play together and well in the NATIONAL team.. then you would see some good stuff.. the way it is right now you just have to feel sorry for the world's elite players.. they are literally being playerd to death by FIFA, their national federations and their clubs.. and they don't even get paid for all the qualifying games or the World CUP! its a joke.. on top of that they play the World Cup in the middle of summer often times in places with crazy hot weather.. I mean the US in the summer in 1994 was brutal in some places... as was Brazil and they're going to play in Qatar??? I mean i don't care if the qataris can fuckin have servants running around on the pitch fanning the players while they play.its still going to suck... make the priority focusing on helping the players perform and the world cup will once again be fun.. the way they are doing it these days its just not happening

I enjoy watching Barcelona in Spain but in Spain you have like 4-5 decent teams and everybody else.. same in France... in Italy the problem is the stupid style (cattenacio)..incredibly defensive..makes it rather agonizing...


they need to fuckin change the rules...as players have got more fit they are pretty much able to cancel each other out (the physical has overtaken the technical).. its become so hard to score... then you got the refs fuckin'e verything up... they need to make the goals bigger or something.. also make the penalty area bigger...cut down the number of players to say 9 a side to create more space ..change the offside rule so that the striker can be a little ahead of the last defender.. at least err on the side of the striker.. right now the linesmen see a striker zip by the defender and look open and they put the flag up cause they're like "no way can the guy have gotten loose..."..well then you watch the replay and he did get free but the fuckin linesman fucked it up..another necessary change is to actually call shit.. like if a guy is holding someone's shirt then he's fuckin out of there...they do that shit all the time in the penalty box and nobody calls it.. also use more technology cause the refs and linesmen are constantly blowing calls... another necessary change which they'll never do is to stop thisbullshit of the clubs oWNING the player.. the player should own himself like players do in the US...also do something like basketball or hockey to penalize teams for fouling too much. .the way it is right now you can have a really great team playing against nobodies and scoring is like the hardest thing in the world.. i don't think a game where a team can't make their tactical and technical superiority count makes a lot of sense.. maybe alllow some subbing in and out and allow way more subs period.. if a team has a roster of 22 players and its really deep (and they had to leave 50 really good players off the team for lack of space) why shouldn't they be allowed to take advantage of that against a team that could only find 10 good players in the whole country (and maybe even had to nationalize a few Africans or Brazilians two weeks before the WC!)?

I also hate to say that Germany is the team that plays the way you should play these days.. and nobody else is close.. they have found a way to balance technique with brute force/power....everybody else is either too much one one side or the other...

geez..i sound like Julian..glad he won't see these words..

https://twitter.com/hashtag/fartrape?lang=en

https://thewaterpipe.wordpress.com/2013/12/22/can-a-fart-be-misogynist/

Top feminist academics that have respectable diverse doctorates from medieval art, 6th century English to Women’s Studies gathered at the University of Toronto meeting center to discuss if human flatulence could be sexist.

Ashleigh Ingle a proud feminist and an anarchist argued that because of patriarchal gender norms women were not allowed to release gas in public because of men’s unreal expectations of women to be clean and feminine. Furthermore she articulated that if a woman was to fart in the presence of a man and the man responded by farting louder than the woman, than that would be rape.

“By farting louder the man is using passive aggressive violence to position himself as dominant, this intimidates the woman to subconsciously not release as much flatulence and thus the woman fearing for her safety doesn’t fart as loud as a sign of submissiveness, this in turn contributes to rape culture and women being oppressed.”

The discussion boiled down to women’s bodies once again being controlled by society and women being told what to do.
Local activist Steph Guthrie a feminist advocate and community organizer who specialises in social media and interactive events proposed an online campaign to tackle this misogyny that “keeps women down and trapped in their own bodies. I just find it horrific that the patriarchy has been controlling women’s flatulence this whole time and we have just realised this now, it is time for feminist worldwide to re-educate women on how they are being discriminated against.

Guthrie’s twitter hash tag #FartRape has started to trend as women are taking control of their own bodies by naming and shaming men guilty of fart rape. Guthrie hopes the guilty men will be identified and then their workplace will be called up and their employer will be notified the type of person they are harboring in the workplace.

(https://thewaterpipe.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/capture.png)

But Ingle argues that it simply isn’t enough, “Don’t tell women to fart louder tell men not to fart so loud” This is clear victim blaming and government should pass laws to make male farts above a certain decibel illegal to make human flatulence equal and not discriminate against women.

Science advocates have argued that because of sexual dimorphism men are larger, need a higher protein intake and thus can relieve more flatulence, but the speakers at the conference were adamant that it was a socially constructed gender norm that oppressed women to the point that they physically do not release equal amounts of gas as men.

The Library of Congress has an ongoing series of blog posts of pictures in their collection that they can't identify. Over time, many have been identified by others. Some seem maddeningly familiar.

it's happening on all devices, so must be a network thing (i've even checked on the other network we have here, same ISP).  weird.  maybe next time i'm really, really bored i'll contact the ISP's help desk and ask them wtf.

to further the weirdness: originally this first image (rudolf & "deviation from the norm...") wasn't showing up, but now it is.  so one pbs.twimg.com is showing up, but the other isn't.  for the second one that still isn't, it's no longer a time-out... it's just loading a black screen in Chrome, and a small black "x" symbol in Edge.  an early taste of a non-neutral net?!?

i come to the 930 for technical support.

So my 10 year old had her first day of FLE (aka sex ed) on Friday. Immediately after school, she and I head to the grocery store for the weekly haul. As usual, she goes her own way to explore the store, too cool to hang out with Space.

After a while, she find me and asks "Space, did you know that they make a condom with the same name as the ice cream bar?"

Taken aback by this question, I try to make a joke out of it. "I bet I can guess which one tastes better."

And her reply, "Used or unused?"

At that point, Space was left speechless. Yikes.

She actually did start calling me by my real first name maybe a year ago. I'm not sure why. She calls her mother "Ma." I'm not really much of an authority figure, perhaps that's part of it...

Also, the other grown men in her life are her martial arts instructors, and she calls them all by first name..."Mr. John", "Mr. Scott," etc. But I don't see her ever calling me "Mr. Space", just "Space."

It will probably give you hives to learn I just replaced two of my Blu-Ray players with 4K UHD Blu-Ray players.

Look, you still find value in TiVo, so nothing about your media viewing consumption surprises me.  It's probably TiVo's limitation in 4K that caused you to buy a UHD player in the first place.

Converting all of your VHS -> DVD -> Blu-Ray -> UHD movies is exactly what the industry wants and needs to hold off innovation.  Did the UHD player come with a red hat that said #maga on it?

?? TiVo's current model is 4k enabled. It's called the Bolt!

They do play regular Blu Ray disks. Have not went out and gotten a UHD Blu Ray yet to test out the quality. I mostly bought them because I'm Julian and they were there.

I'm aware that the Bolt plays 4K content, but it's implementation must be limited if you need to purchase a second device AND tangible media to make up for whatever you can't get from the Bolt.  That's all I was saying.

But this one takes the cake…just now a young black guy comes in with his vacuuming equipment, loudly belches a five second burp, starts letting out exasperated sighs and moans,  loudly plops down his equipment, says “damn” and “shit” aloud to I don’t know who…

Right before that, I was in line at Roti and this black guy was talking to his female friend basically going on about how all white people suck. In what world do all the members of one ethnicity suck?

As far as what does skin color have to do with the story....my wife told me I should have reported his behavior to his supervisor, but as a white person, I'm a little more hesitant to do something like that when the person is black..

i've thought about that a lot in my listening life and i think the answer is no, sadly.
offshoots, extensions and genre mashups maybe, but i can't imagine anything entirely and completely new.
newer things mostly remind me of older original things that i'd rather listen to, but there are exceptions.
i would be happy to stand corrected, of course.

I flew cross country yesterday. I was dreading it because a last minute booking had landed me a middle seat. I usually prefer aisle because I have to pee so much.

I get to my seat, and the aisle seat and part of my seat are occupied by this fat middle aged white woman. What a piece of work she was. I put down the armrest to claim my full seat, and she stops ladyspreading enough so that I actually can claim my entire seat. Woohoo! But then she puts her arm on the armrest. Dude, don't you know the rule that the middle seat dweller gets the armrests?

Thirty seconds later, she pulls out a case with wipes and offers me one.
"No, I'm good." I reply.
"They're for washing the seatback trays. They don't wash them you know."
"No thanks, I'm still good." I reply.

Then she says to her friend "I'm so full. I don't know if I'll need that salad." Actually lady, it's exactly the salad that you *do* need. Within the hour, she pulls out an Almond Joy Snack Pack and gets a Sprite (at 10:15am) from the beverage cart. I guess she wasn't full after all. The fact that she offered me a wipe and not a handful of Almond Joy Snack Pack mix, well that was a bit of a tearjerker in and of itself.

But I luck out and the window dweller doesn't show, so I move over to the window. I've never flown across the whole country in the winter time, and damn, what a beautiful view of snow covered Mt. Rainier then the snow covered Rockies.

She soon pulls down the middle seat tray (and without washing it), sets up her ipad on it to watch tv. Then she plugs her phone into the middle seat jack, and plops down her water and other belongings into the middle seat (technically MY seat, mind you.) And then proceeds to fall asleep, snoring loudly for two hours. Well she would have slept more but at that point I had to pee so badly that I awoke her from her slumber. I purposely did not drink a drop of liquid for the entire five hour flight but at the three hour mark my old man bladder had had enough.

I also snickered mightily when the person in the middle seat in front of us adjusted his seat and her unattended ipad went flying to the ground.

After getting off  the plane at DCA and (of course) stopping to pee again, I passed her as she slowly lumbered down the hall, loudly complaining to her friend about this and that.

Oh, as it turns out she did need the salad, wolfing it down after I had awakened her.

I was in a great little Vietnamese place in Portland called Luc Lac, enjoying my vermicelli, and was surprised that they were playing hip hop that was actually quite good.

Of course I didn't know what it was and turned to my neighbors to ask them if they knew what the music was. (This was the kind of place where you order first and they bring you the food, so you only see the server that once.) And lo and behold, my neighbors were a cute, young, hip BLACK couple (in Portland, how crazy is that?) and the girl was actually singing along to the music (that accompanied the guy rapping.)

But then I felt shy about asking, so I guess I'm never going to know who the artist was.

Didn't we all say Hispanic voters were going to come out en masse against Trump in 2016 and then they had relatively low turnout and over a third of them voted for Trump anyway?

Democrats lose as often as they do because they build their base around minority groups (ethnic, social, and otherwise) that do not show up to vote in high percentages, or vote against their own interests.

Of course that is somewhat true but Puerto Rican’s are a swing voting block kind of like the Cubans in Florida...I don’t see them forgetting their relatives in PR still without power or Trump’s paper towel roll throwing but yes Hispanics as a whole tend to not vote...still Puerto Rican’s are a bit different as they are Americans at birth...and the huge recent migration which actually preceded the hurricanes could change the electoral dynamics in that key state...

Just a heads up to those venturing to the land of the R&R Hotel.  I had an uncomfortable situation this week when I returned to my car parked a few blocks from the club on H street.   It was a really tight space with cars parked extremely closely both in front and in back.  It took me a few minutes to inch around and finally leave the space.  As I was about to depart, I heard a voice emanating from outside the rear passenger-side door repeatedly saying "you hit my car".  I rolled down the front passenger window and asked if the car was ok.  He said yes but continued to state that I hit "his car" which I don't think I did. A little freaked, I split. The next day I spoke to a friend who told me that this is a common ploy to get you out of your car and rob you.  An act of a brazen thief who doesn't even own a car?!  Has anyone heard of anything like this?  Please be careful.

Given the amount of damage, I'm going to guess the cigarette was lit and then he sprayed, thus turning the can into a grenade of sorts.  Otherwise, he must have sprayed a crap ton of body spray....

"Crap ton" is the recommended dose, of course. Plus in such an enclosed space, the atomized alcohol had nowhere to go. He pretty much created and experienced what it's like inside the combustion stroke of a piston.

never been to either (but have always wanted to)...but since it wasn't posted in the beer thread...I'm assuming that's not a big factor
Title: Re: random . . . randomness
Post by: sweetcell on March 16, 2018, 12:36:43 pm
indeed, both are awesome beer towns but i don't think that's a big factor for gigidub.  if you want to do wine tourism, i believe that portland is the slightly better option since quality of wineries close to the city are better.

objectively, i might choose portland.  it's (relatively) more exciting, "up and coming", edgy, etc.  seattle is a little more settled, staid.  that being said, seattle is bigger and will have more to offer in the way of arts, culture, sports, and other urban trappings.  both are beautiful cities in beautiful settings.

subjectively, i would choose seattle because then you could come visit us.  lots of great hiking right out our front door.  fly fishing in the backyard.  plenty of guest rooms.  this is a real offer.

Have been to both multiple times and agree with everything you say. Take away the beer factor (which favors Portland last time I checked) and it's a tossup for me. There's also lot of great hiking east of Portland in the Columbia River Valley.

James Lilja was the drummer in the punk band the Offspring. Then he quit to become an obstetrician gynecologist. Now he is being sued for malpractice. One of the prospective jurors at his trial this week collapsed, hit his head and was unresponsive. Dr. Lilja and his assistant administered CPR and shocked the man with an automated external defibrillator. When paramedics arrived, the man remained unconscious but had a pulse.

Also, what kind of popsicle?

I don't really remember the answer to the first question. I get the same email once every couple of weeks. And by "same email" I mean a long rant with a picture of a minor mess.

 My daughter leaves her popsicle stick somewhere in the house every time she has one. I should get *some* credit, I did throw *her* popsicle stick away last night.

And by "popsicle" I am referring to Outshine fruit bars.

9:05 — “Hey, you guys like killer guitar riffs?” Joe Walsh asks. “Inspired lyrics? Go fuck yourselves, we’re the Eagles!”
Nah, jk, Walsh introduces the band by saying, “How you doing? Great to be back here.”

9:18 — That moment is neutered from my memory by a guitar solo with all the excitement of a pair of pleated khaki pants. (Hutch...he gets you!)

I think I've lamented the music played at my gym in the past here. Lately, it seems as if the gym radio has become the ACDC station. I know that would thrill some of you, but it does nothing for me.

On another note, I always enjoy shopping at my local Giant because of the music they play. Off the top of my head, in the  past couple of months I've heard Dr. Dog, the Replacements, the Clash, Spoon, the Pretenders, the Ramones, the Band, Elvis Costello, and a host of others I'm forgetting.

I'm the opposite. I never wear headphones when I'm at the gym. For one thing, I can't be messing with wires and ear buds and having to carry my phone around when I'm lifting weights. Also, it's a gym exclusively for the company I work at, so people are always chatting and I don't want to always be messing with turning music on and off.

Alternatively, if I don't have music blaring in my ears when I'm on a run or an exercise bikeride, then I spend the entire time agonizing over the various stress points in my life, so I need the jarring cacophony of screaming Asian teenagers to drown out the voices in my head.

What's with the habit of otherwise articulate young women dropping their t's? "Important" becomes "impor-int" with the stress on the second syllable. "Certain" becomes "sur-ihn", etc... It makes them all sound like they are from Trenton ("Trehn-uhn"), NJ.

I don't see a problem with that if they are just pissing. Sure, they touched their dick but their dick was probably cleaner than their hands. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to wash your hands before pissing.

How shitting, that's another story.

A lot of the people on my floor are from a certain foreign country. It's definitely them who are on the cell phones. I wonder if it's them who are consistently missing the urinal as well...or maybe it's just some old limp dicked white guy.

Luna November 7 at 2:54 PM ·

Lee Wall is selling his early 1960’s Gretsch drum kit:

14x22 bass drum
16x16 floor tom
9x13 rack tom
5x14 wood snare

Excellent condition. Round badges. Rare Starlight Sparkle finish was offered from about 1959-1962.
The 6 ply Jasper shells, silver interiors and absence of paper tags most likely date the drums to 1961.

Floor tom legs, bass drum spurs and three new padded gig bags for the kick and toms included. No other hardware, cases or cymbals shown in the photos included.

Email LWGretschDrums@gmail.com for more information.

It's even better when the door motion is reversed (pull in, push out). Best I've seen was at a crab house: separate push in and push out doors and hands-free everything (because you really want to wash your hands before you handle yourself, as well as after).

Nice technique...I'll have to use this one
“So, I asked him who he’d arranged this with. Was it with Prince himself?” Baqir says, working with a memory that still brings a smile to her face. “He said `Well, I psychically arranged this with Prince. I’ve been communicating with him psychically. And he told me to come to this concert, and that my name would be on his guest list.’
well not for a prince concert...maybe it will work with Mick Jagger?

is this the modern version of  'don't eat the brown acid'

how'd they figure out that the vape pen had Fentanyl in it?
that would be next to impossible at the venue...unless they arrested someone and he confessed...and even then

I'm not saying I support this, kind of insane that someone would pass that around with out warning

Peter Back in Studio with Portland's Eyelids
Hey this is Peter. I’m in the studio with one of my favorite bands, Eyelids. As you might remember I produced their last record, “Or.” This recording is a super exciting experience because the lyricist is Larry Beckett who is not only a published poet but co-writer of many of Tim Buckley’s greatest songs. He’s written a bunch of new lyrics for Eyelids and it’s a tremendous record. I’m really excited to be involved.
You can catch Eyelids on the road this February—including the last show of the tour which will be at the 40 Watt Club with our favorite home town pals Drive-By Truckers.
As for myself, I’m going to go into the wild for a while. I’ll be writing and preparing for a bunch of stuff you’ll hear about next year.

that is Larry Beckett (poet and lyricist for Tim Buckley) and you are correct on spotting Peter Buck

THE CROW SCRIPTS AND CORRESPONDENCE. To include copy of letter written to Rob Gretton asking if the band would like to be involved with the soundtrack for the film, an original draft copy of the film script dated January 4 1993 plus an original proof copy of the graphic novel by J.O'Barr.
"The asked for our involvement. Such a shame we did not do it. Some great groups appeared on the soundtrack. I loved it the script and had read the comic. We were asked to re-record 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' and' Dead Souls' as New Order for the film but Barney said, "Why would anyone want New Order to play a Joy Division song?" and that was the end of that!. Nine inch Nails jumped at the chance."

The character in yellow tights is Pierre, who's fickle and lacks patience and the one in orange is Jonathan, who is meticulous and never loses his cool.


While looking for more info...came across this ...

Kodokushi (孤独死) or lonely death refers to a Japanese phenomenon of people dying alone and remaining undiscovered for a long period of time.

easy.  because dinosaur, fucking rules . . . RULES.  And, that album is the best . . . the, BEST.  destroys.  mellow guitar fuzz in your face, with pedals all flying around the stage trying to keep up.  no matter, what azag says.

plus, if you listen to that song, its touches on topics of getting older alone, other people getting the girl, while you yourself lose everything . . . so it resonates with a culture that I believe is having a problem of population, due to an aging crisis.

Actually,  the most creative thing a band has done in a long time. It duped multiple people and if it wasn't for the internet,  it would've worked flawlessly.

Always thought this kid was a smug dickhead....even after all the 'other angles' and additional video was released...he is not trying to diffuse the situation.  Maybe he didn't know how to react, but that smile says it all....


but this takes the cake...
Ted and Julie Sandmann filed the suit on their son's behalf, seeking $250 million in damages — the same amount Amazon founder Jeff Bezos paid to purchase the Post in 2013. Of that amount, the lawsuit is seeking $50 million in compensation for the alleged damage done, while the remaining $200 million in punitive damages would be aimed at punishing the newspaper company.

In their complaint, the Sandmanns say they are asking a federal district court in Kentucky to help them "teach the Post a lesson it will never forget."



I mean isn't this foolish as the WAPO has a team of lawyers and the sandmanns will have to probably spend in the order of $100k to actually take this case to the finish line.
Gotta be some conservative law team that's doing this pro-bono for the press

I see even the idiot @1600 penn weighed in

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

“The Washington Post ignored basic journalistic standards because it wanted to advance its well-known and easily documented biased agenda against President Donald J. Trump.” Covington student suing WAPO. Go get them Nick. Fake News!"

So is the story about the lawsuit the fake news?

I don't see a problem with that if they are just pissing. Sure, they touched their dick but their dick was probably cleaner than their hands. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to wash your hands before pissing.

How shitting, that's another story.

A lot of the people on my floor are from a certain foreign country. It's definitely them who are on the cell phones. I wonder if it's them who are consistently missing the urinal as well...or maybe it's just some old limp dicked white guy.

I have always agreed with this.  Unless I piss on my hands I don't really get the whole washing your hands after you piss.  It's just skin.

I think I’ve shared this anteceote before but I was at Red Wings/Hurricanes game about a decade ago and in the rest room which, like all sports arenas men’s room are, was a line of urinals. Wings fans were outnumbering Canes fans by a large margin and the team was running it up and dude in a Wings sweater gets done and goes to wander out after peeing. Old bearded dude in a Canes sweater goes, “Yankee, here in Canes country they teach us to wash our hands.”

Wings dude doesn’t miss a step, turn around or anything. Just keeps walking out and as he hit the turn goes “in Detroit, they teach us not to piss on ourselves.”

Somewhere between then and now, the lesson was lost as the Wings are clearly best summarized by a dude peeing down his own leg as he falls off a bridge.

I'm curious...what about people who are Actually sick...and they don't wash there hands regularly?
That is far worse, as it's spreading actual germs

Or touching any surface in the Metro

While I have a strong desire to not come in second hand contact with someones junk unknowingly...I know from experience, one can effectively urinate in a urinal with out even touching ones privates with a little hip shake at the end

I have yet to hear of someone even remotely getting sick because someone else didn't wash their hands after peeing
Please cite a study that counters that stance

Exceptions...if you get piss on your hands ...ya gotta wash

You guys.

The best way to prevent the spread of disease - to yourself and others - is to wash your hands frequently.

Peeing doesn't expose you to germs, generally speaking. But since you're in the bathroom already, and since you're there 3-6 times per day, it turns out to be a convenient time to wash your hands.

If you otherwise wash your hands separate from when you gotta go, fine. But I'm guessing that if you refuse to wash your hands after using the bathroom, you're probably not gonna do it any other time either.

And you're a disease vector.

Can you please just wash your hands?

so . . . how long does food stay good in a refrigerator during a power outage?  power went out at 430 pm at the house, and back on at 330 am.  never opened it once.  and due to the amount of rain we've had out here, the ground was saturated, meaning my large sump pump chamber was filling up quick.  Luckily I caught it in time, before a flooded basement occurred, but I literally had to manually haul water with a bucket from the sump pump to the back yard, from 8 pm to 330 am.  Then my light died on me as I was trying to move a workbench, that shattered my chalet basement window in the process.  The big one, not the two smaller ones . . .  but the big one.

fuck me. 

no really, fuck me; I need it.

heya walkies - if you kept your fridge closed for those 11 hours, everything inside should be just fine.  ok, maybe something that was on the edge of going bad did so quicker, but 99% of your food should be fine.

now i'm not squeamish about these things, but if you're more on the paranoid side, the kind of guy who throws out milk on the expiry date regardless of how is smells or tastes, then you might want to be "safe" (very large air-quotes there) and toss stuff.  i certainly wouldn't.

i can't help you with the fucking, for several reasons, but i can suggest a few good websites...

we kinda need a 'only in Florida' thread

The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp will celebrate “Florida Man Night” on July 26.

JACKSONVILLE, FL (Gray News) - Florida is home to sunny days, orange trees, more than 1,000 miles of beautiful beaches, natural wonders, an absurd number of toll roads and some of the most bizarre headlines.
The Sunshine State gave us the case of the armless man accused of stabbing a tourist, the woman who was shot after performing a sex act for Pringles and $5, the man who was jailed after giving his girlfriend a wet willy and the woman who chased her parents with a knife when they refused to take her to Outback.
It’s unclear how these stories make residents feel, but a minor league baseball team in Jacksonville is fully embracing the weird trouble Floridians often find themselves in.
The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp will celebrate “Florida Man Night” on July 26.  The Double-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins has been pretty tight lipped about the promotion. But they did promise Jacksonville will break a weird Florida law in every single inning.

God help us if the game is tied after nine innings.

“There will be a lawyer in the house,” the team said on Twitter.

The majority if not all people I saw were beautiful and so happy all the time.   They recycle everything, they ride bicycles everywhere, they walk everywhere else, and nobody is fat.  And they don't shoot each other.

The two months I lived on a boat in the canals of Amsterdam were probably the greatest two months of my life.  And to put this into perspective, I was loaned out to an NGO who was working on creating the largest online database of tax and fiscal documents in the world, so the work SUCKED.  But the Netherlands was easily the best open society I've ever lived in and would go back in heart beat.

love, love, love the daatch.

i've lost count of how many times i've been to the netherlands - 40? 50?  for several years i worked internationally and i flew almost exclusively KLM, so my typical commute was JFK --> AMS --> wherever the hell the gig was (coincidentally, often in some version of hell).  dunno if it's still the case, but back in the day KLM was really good about allowing stop-overs for no extra cost.  i met an amazing group of dutch friends through music so between gigs i'd go hang out in the outskirts of a'dam.  drinking a fresh witbier by a canal as the sun goes down over the jordaan... *sigh*.

Really...the right and its reverse-discrimination bull shit

A group of Boston men is planning a "Straight Pride Parade" as a way of mocking "the identity politics of the left."


What a bunch of dicks, I say drone glitter bombing should be in order
This guy said it well
James Fell
It's official. Boston is going to have a "Straight Pride Parade."

I'm straight. I like being straight. A big reason why I like being straight is that I've never once experienced bigotry for my sexuality. I didn't have to fight for my right to marry the person of my choosing. I didn't have to concern myself with being beaten or killed because others didn't accept who I wanted to sleep with. I didn't have to stay closeted out of fear, or worry about the reaction of my family, friends, or colleagues by coming out.

I never got called a slur for being straight. No one told me I'm going to burn in hell for being straight. There aren't any programs where I could be sent to be tortured into no longer being straight. There aren't any countries where you can be put to death simply for being straight.

There is nothing I ever had to fight for, or struggle against, because I'm straight. And therefore, there isn't any reason to take pride in it. Grateful for the privileges I get? Sure. But pride? I don't see it.

What I do see is that this parade is misnamed. It's not a "Straight Pride Parade."
It should be called a "I'm a homophobic piece of shit" parade.

it's soo hard, but I do agree
the amount of free press they got over this helped their cause more than hurt it

I blame Trump for letting all these factions feel like they need to say "I bigoted, ignorant and proud of that" want to come out in public
and to some degree, I do think the rest of the public and the media should call them out on their hateful displays of backwards thinking

Young people are growing horns from cellphone use

“We hypothesize EEOP [enlarged external occipital protuberance] may be linked to sustained aberrant postures associated with the emergence and extensive use of hand-held contemporary technologies, such as smartphones and tablets.”

That's an exact quote from the abstract from the researchers at the University of the Sunshine Coast.

hy·poth·e·sis
/hīˈpäTHəsəs/
 
noun

a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.


So with absolutely no study actually involving cellphones, journo's come up with this headline.  Mind boggling.

Why do you assume they are his wife's ;)
do you think he has the 930 forum up on his screen
Why is he using a note pad (which has nothing on it) when he has a computer in front of him
Was this a photo on the internet, or did pollstar have him pose for this?

Does anyone else here have a spouse who emails you at work declaring that there is a new house rule that you have to put the lid down after you shit? (failing to put the seat down after you piss is already punishable with verbal abuse) Does anyone here already have this as a house rule?

I see that the internet says it's a good idea to put the lid down *before* you flush. Does that mean you should wait until it's done flushing and lift the lid back up to check if it all went down, then put the lid down a second time?

Please help!

Kelli Dunaway, single mother of 2 wanted her kids to walk away from her swearing-in with an empowering message. So instead of placing her hand on a Bible to take her oath of office, Kelli chose “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!” by Dr. Seuss.

per da wikeez (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Trebek), the diagnosis was announced publicly in March of this year.  the actual discovery was probably some weeks, maybe even months, before... but Trebek hasn't survived his first year yet.  so let's not get too excited (or be too big of a downer) just yet.

My dad died from pancreatic cancer. It's a rough one. We'll see how long RBG lasts. :( And I'll care more about her than Mr. Un-woke Alex:

"You know, when the #MeToo movement started, I had discussions with the staff during production meetings," he said. "I said, 'My gosh, this has got to be a scary time for men.'"




There is at least a bit of hope if the tumor is only limited to the pancreas itself.

When the tumor is only in the pancreas and doesn’t spread, the five-year survival rate is 37 percent, according to Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, or PanCAN.

I was out for a run around the lake this morning and out of the corner of my eye I saw a baby squirrel in the middle of the trail, unusually close to me. It startled me and made me jump. It was startled too, and ran…right under where I was about to land. I tried to freeze myself and change direction in mid-air….but it all happened too quickly. I landed on him. He started struggling to run but couldn’t really go anywhere. He appeared to have an injured leg, pain and fear was in his eyes and blood was pouring out of his mouth. I made a quick decision to put him out of his misery. Tears came to my eyes. I can only imagine how bad my brother, who had to put down his dog earlier in the week, must feel. And F those hunters who shoot animals for sport.

This is my favorite data analysis of the week. Interesting that in the South “pussy” is on the high end, and “cunt” is on the low end. I’m betting it’s rednecks calling people they don’t like “pussy” rather than rednecks referring to their favorite culinary experience.

I'm really not sure where this should go...but KW really fits in with Trump

"This shows you that God is hilarious. ... God has got a sense of humor. Liberals love art, right, and now, I am unquestionably, undoubtedly the greatest human artist of all time. It's just not even a question anymore at this point. It's just a fact, right?" West told Apple Music's Zane Lowe on Beats 1 in an interview released Thursday.

"So, for the greatest artist in human existence to put a red hat on was God's practical joke on all liberals like, 'Nooooo not Kanye,'" he continued. He used himself as an example of someone saying something that "culturally they're not supposed to say."

West during the two-hour Apple interview also claimed "there will be a time when I will be the president of the U.S.," without elaborating, according to Newsweek.

This is deplorable and misogynistic and I absolutely do not want to take attention away from that fact by revealing I currently have tears running down from face from laughing at the quote, "Look, Doc, she don’t ride no horses, she don’t ride no bike, she don’t play no sports. Just check the hymen, please, and give me back my results expeditiously."

Sorry, I don't live in the same part of the county as you. My kid would be making more in two report cards than I make for an annual performance bonus.

I remember getting small cash rewards for good report cards...it really wasn't a motivating factor in how much effort I put in though.

An edgelord is someone on an internet forum who deliberately talks about controversial, offensive, taboo, or nihilistic subjects in order to shock other users in an effort to appear cool, or edgy.

Didn't Juli...I mean Brian Wallace invent edgelord?

Is Bearman, an actual bear?  A larger, furry, hot, gay, ready to pounce, man?

My inquiring, head, would like to know.

I'm going to give myself some credit here.

In the early days of the board, his name was "bunnyman", presumably because he liked that band.

He mentioned being a gay bear, so I suggested he change his name to "bearman", which he did.

Having met him since then, "bearman" is much more appropriate. And he's a really good guy to boot.


Bonus info for Walky only: My wife and I refer to each other as "bunny" and "bear." I'll let you figure out who is who.

space is not what i would consider a bear.  he's lean (he bellyaches that he's fat, but he's not).  he's not particularly hairy, and he doesn't look particularly cuddly to me.  he's much more of a twink (despite being what... 50?).

bearman, on the other hand, does conform to the bear moniker in many ways.  very high bear-hug/cuddle factor.  hairy with beard, at least the last time i saw him.  and as others have pointed out, he's a class act.  just the nicest and most interesting guy.  i've only chatted with him 3 or 4 times, but he's one of my top ten IRL boardies.

You see, "suck," is actually short/slang for suck penis, or "fellatio," Space. So saying something or someone sucks ... oh nevermind.

The point is do your share and don't consider any housework to be "beneath" you.

Okay. On his questions:

1. You can definitely get the sink clear of dishes whilst teleworking, but no deep cleaning, windows, toilets or vacuuming.  Also, dinner can be ready when the non-teleworker gets home.
2. Straight men don't suck, but some think housework is beneath them, not Space, not you, not me, but some, and it pisses their women off.

Since signing off for the day, I have helped my daughter with her math homework for a good hour, walked the dog for 45 mins, went grocery shopping (Valentine roses for her, teddy bear for my daughter), prepared dinner, and maybe now i'll go take my first shower of the day. Most days, I have to plunge the toilet because my daughter takes a shit so big it won't go down, because she insists on eating only garbage food that her mother buys for her.

But I'll still get bitched at for not doing laundry or "straightening up" while teleworking in spite of the monumental orgasm i gave her this morning. :(

So my wife has a friend. She is a woman with four kids, who has had extensive plastic surgery. She has an Ivy league law degree but is a stay at home mom. She decided she wanted to fuck married men other than her husband. So she started meeting married men from reddit and carrying on multiple affairs. Eventually, her husband found out. After initially deciding to work on things, she continued to fuck other married men, he found out and now they are divorcing. They are splitting custody, and he is buying her a separate house, so she will have a place to live when she has the four kids.

Apparently, she has been posting on inline forums in the past couple of days, and her problems are twofold.

1. Now that her married boyfriend's wife is teleworking full time because of the Virus, her boyfriend can't pretend to be teleworking and instead be fucking her because he has to be at home with the wife and kids.
2. Her married boyfriend is complaining that her surgically enhanced boobs are not big enough and she is fretting online about it.

Additionally, she also sent my wife a desperate message last night, not about anything Corona related, but saying that "I'm only sexually attracted to men who treat me like shit."

Does anybody have any advice for this lovely woman?

So my wife has a friend. She is a woman with four kids, who has had extensive plastic surgery. She has an Ivy league law degree but is a stay at home mom. She decided she wanted to fuck married men other than her husband. So she started meeting married men from reddit and carrying on multiple affairs. Eventually, her husband found out. After initially deciding to work on things, she continued to fuck other married men, he found out and now they are divorcing. They are splitting custody, and he is buying her a separate house, so she will have a place to live when she has the four kids.

Apparently, she has been posting on inline forums in the past couple of days, and her problems are twofold.

She’s found reddit and the hivemind will straighten her right up. Aside from that, forward her contact info to Relaxer.

Funny you say this. I saw Walkie's post last night and was going to share but didn't and now you've directly referenced Velveeta and I feel I must.

Velveeta mac and cheese is probably the trashest food I eat. I literally didn't have it until I was close to 30. We NEVER had Velveeta as a kid growing up. We had garbage mac and cheese but it was always the Kraft style, with like powder and add milk and butter. I remember seeing commercials for Velveeta and asking my parents why we never had it and they both trashed it. "It isn't real cheese." "It doesn't even taste like cheese!"

As a kid, I had such as idea that it was going to taste plasticky. I could literally make myself feel ill at like 9 years old imagining what I presumed Velveeta tasted like. I literally got out of going to school once by making myself throw up imagining Velveeta.

Skip ahead like 20 years and I was dating this girl and went over her house to watch a movie and she decided to make Mac and Cheese. She brought it out and I casually asked "oh, this looks different than when I make it -- what brand is this?" She said Velveeta and I immediately started to panic. I decided to suck it up and just eat a little to play cool about the whole thing.

Two bites in and my mind was blown. Like, what the fuck is this liquid trash gold? This tastes NOTHING like I imagined. I have been loyal to Velveeta for my, IDK, five times a year at home Mac and Cheese needs ever since. If I ever want to slum it food wise and just ingest total shit, Velveeta is the shit for me.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I, don't know about you . . . but in my line of work, we are rocking it.  Overwhelming it.  People are not slowing down during these times, in my beautiful piece of rural awesomeness.  If you know anyone, such as yourself or your friends, who are looking to move out to greener acres with Zsa Zsa, then send them my way.  My team will show them the true meaning of living off the grid of overcrowding.  I am noticing people from the city are moving our ways due to the covid.  Woodstock / Luray / Marshall / Hume / Stephens City / Front Royal / Purcellville / Harrisonburg are the new hot spots for escape housing.  You should see the new construction.  I've never seen such a market craze like this in a long long while.

While in certain cases I can understand it rioting and looting is never acceptable


I hate to see so many of my friends on the left defending it..justifying it and almost delighting in it

I may understand it but I will never defend it or even justify it

There are real people who pay the price..


I remember after Hurricane Andrew my parents where living in Miami and there were people looting neighborhoods and running around with shotguns..terrifying

And when you riot and burn down a neighborhood does anything good result?

It took U Street like 30 years to come back from the riots...Baltimore has spiraled out of control since their riots

At the risk of blowing Sidehatch's mind by commenting on a legal matter despite not being a member of the bar, they said (and it was pretty clearly the case even from the Netflix show) that Exotic "gave" the park to his mother and wrestling dude in an apparent attempt to avoid it getting seized to pay for Baskin's judgment against him/his bankruptcy. If the court is about to seize something from someone, they can't just sign it over to someone else for $5 to avoid it getting seized.

But yeah that’s a known fact

I remember in the 80s joining those clubs where you got 12 tapes for a cent

I was actually all about cassettes until 1991 or so..a late adopter..the CDs were expensive..and I was still sometimes buying tapes until 1995...I remember getting wowed zowee on tape...

And of course mix tapes..I was listening to tapes until at least 1998..you would trade for say unreleased belle and Sebastian...I remember that’s how I first got tigermilk

bah, as a former resident of brooklyn, i would have LOVED a crash space in the city.  subway can take forever especially late at night, bridges are always jammed, sometimes you've just had enough of the city and you wanna get home.

hell, as a former resident of maryland, i would have loved an apartment downtown.  i don't have anywhere near that kind of money, but if i did i could think of worse places to park a few G's than an urban pied-a-terre.

A grenade-wielding gunman held 13 people hostage on a bus in the city of Lutsk, Ukraine, for more than 12 hours on Tuesday. The man agreed to surrender only after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy met a bizarre demand: Post a video on Facebook that endorsed a 2005 film, Earthlings, starring Joaquin Phoenix. Afterward, Ukraine's interior minister Arsen Avakov said the movie "is good" and "you don't have to be so fucked up" to like it, according to Russia's Pravda newspaper.

Nuttiest post by a Facebook friend today goes to this one:


The government might be preparing for a cashless society, but it was predated by the Bible. Already designed! If put into place, it just means our time is getting closer. Not worried about what is going to happen...just looking up and getting ready. Maybe worry about your friends and family who aren't ready instead of COVID and what is already designed to happen that you will not be stopping. While the devil is preparing people for the Anti-Christ, God is preparing people for the Rapture. I don’t know when the rapture will take place, but I do believe it could be soon. I also believe this is a time that God is giving us a chance to repent. We need to get the Gospel message out!!! Until the Good Lord calls me away from this world to go home, I want to make it clear that I believe in Jesus Christ as the True Lord and Savior. Despite the fact that I am human, and I fail a lot, I believe that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins and that He rose from the dead on the third day. He loves us all dearly (far more than we deserve) and forgives our sins when we repent.
His Word says:
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
This is the best challenge I have seen on Facebook; so, if the Holy Spirit moves you and you’re not ashamed, just copy, and make this as your status update.
Can I get an Amen for being a believer in our Lord Jesus Christ ♥️🙏
Amen 🙌🏽🙌🏽

After the frogs swallowed the beetles, 90% of the insects were excreted within six hours of being eaten "and, surprisingly, were still alive," said Sugiura, an associate professor in the department of agrobioscience at Kobe University in Japan, in the study.

Title: Re: random . . . randomness

i'm not an explosives expert, but i've watched other firework depots and factories explode (vids on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=fireworks+explosion+factory)) and none of them looked like that.  main difference: no massive shock-wave.  fireworks don't pack enough high-density explosive power to create one.  homes were damaged 10 km (6 miles) away (https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/04/middleeast/beirut-explosion-port-intl/index.html).  fireworks just can't do that.


lots of chatter about the fireworks being a cover for missiles and/or bombs.  israel has been conducting air strikes recently in Syria (not that most americans have heard of them - news search (https://www.google.com/search?q=israel+air+strikes&sxsrf=ALeKk00UK5Hv2cv6d2gYPUUj3rE2Q_pxlQ:1596562369089&source=lnms&tbm=nws&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjM2fumioLrAhWVrZ4KHTLuA_EQ_AUoAXoECA0QAw&biw=2048&bih=1051)), it's not that far-fetched to think that they would also be conducting operations again Hezbollah in lebanon.  if the IDF has intelligence of a big bomb and/or missile cache hidden under a fireworks depot, i'd expect them to go in and destroy it.

The death toll is only at 50 now, which is just shocking when you see the photos

per CNN (https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/05/middleeast/beirut-port-explosion-ammonium-nitrate-intl-hnk/index.html):
- Lebanon's Prime Minister Hassan Diab said that 2,750 metric tons of ammonium nitrate, which is typically used as an agricultural fertilizer, had been stored for six years at a port warehouse without safety measures
- Initial reports in state media blamed the blast on a major fire at a firecrackers warehouse near the port
- at least 100 people have been killed, 4,000 wounded, those numbers will rise
- four hospitals are out of service because of damage from the explosion
- the United States Embassy in Beirut urged those in the area to "stay indoors and wear masks if available" due to reports of toxic gases released from the blast.
- Anthony May, a retired ATF explosives investigator for the US government, said that the bright or dark red cloud seen in videos of the blast "is not consistent with ammonium nitrate." The telltale sign of the compound would be a yellow smoke cloud, he said. "I'm not saying that ammonium nitrate was not involved in this, it may have been but it appears that there were other items in there as well," May said.
- The amount of explosives and the shockwaves created by the blast, May said, "is typical of what would be equivalent to a kiloton nuclear bomb going off as far as the explosive weight is concerned. There was no nuclear material that we know of involved in this, but the shock wave generated, the blast wave generated is at equivalent to a small nuclear device," May said.
- Blast registered as a 3.3 magnitude earthquake

Lebanon was already experiencing a major economic crisis, on the verge of collapsing into a failed state a la Somalia or Yemen.  add the pandemic and now this... you have to wonder how this country is going to survive.

I saw the words, "The Dead Milkmen" . . . and I came, here, to comment on it.  Their new bass player, is the weirdest replacement bassist because he is so weird and so fucking awesome at the same time.  I love him.   Like brother love.  Like hardcore DM love.  Listening to this song as I type this, then replaying it, and yes I can say that I really am liking it and now I am being transporting back in time to a place when all I listened to was a heavy replay of all things DM.

Thanks to the mighty Kosmo, who I follow your posts on twitter, for this!!!  I remember the good ole days when NKOTB, I think, and I would talk about Dead Milkmen and side projects and send obscure music to each other that we came across.  Now, I am just lazy.  And work all the time.

I totally agree. I'm more saddened than anything. It's gotta be tough be a nostalgia act in the hip hop genre.
Not a lot of hazy daze, remember when, glory days kind of tours that I've heard of for the early hip-hoppers ala Styx/Journey double headers. There was no Run's House or crossover opportunities for a DJ whose skillset may have become passe.
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to make ends meet, or maintain a lifestyle. Shout outs, like exposure don't pay bills.

y'all are kidding yourselves if you think it'll be up to you as to when you can get the vaccine.  front-line workers and at-risk populations are going to be first in line, and the rich and/or connected will jump to the front, hotspots will get it before areas that have it under control, certain insurance providers and healthcare systems will have access to the vaccine before others, etc. 

it'll be months before the average jane-on-the-street will be able to choose when she gets the vaccine.

the CDC is explicit in saying they have no guarantee that there will be a vaccine, but late Oct/early Nov is the earliest one could emerge if all goes perfectly (and/or the white house gets involved and provides regulatory waivers).  better to get a plan in place now on the small chance it actually happens, as opposed to being caught with your pants down (with your sleeve up?).

personally, i think this is a pure political stunt.  i doubt we'll even have the manufacturing infrastructure in place to produce millions of doses of a vaccine.  we don't even have enough vials (https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/07/13/coronavirus-vaccine-corning-glass/) to package a vaccine in.

 in the documentary, I saw on this...https://imlegend.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline

patients start to experience rabies like symptoms which made them go berserk and bite anyone within reach which caused the infection to spread, shortly after the virus went airborne with a new strain that had a 90% mortality rate, 1% remained the same but the remaining 9% became strong killing machines that fed on the 1% of remaining humans. .

Hey look, a bunch of dudes on a music forum . . . know everything.

CDC tells states to prepare for distribution of COVID-19 vaccine by Nov. 1 http://news.yahoo.com/cdc-tells-states-prepare-distribution-231945460.html?soc_src=community&soc_trk=ma

Mass release of the vaccine. Mass.  As in mass.  You know, mass.  2 days before the election, mass.  Now, that's mass.
You do understand 100 million doses in the first 3 months would definitely constitute "mass" and yet it would leave like 230 million people not vaccinated, right?

I heard they are mass producing the vaccines now, before we even know if they're effective, just in case.

The state with the lowest discprepancy-New Jersey- is #1 for teacher salary.

Space is right according to that link...although it's only starting pay (which is an indicator, but by no means the only one)

although DC is not a state ....

The highest pay in the nation for new teachers is in Washington, D.C. In this area, the average salary is $55,209. New Jersey isn’t far behind with an average salary of $51,443. T

well he screwed up when he put discprepancy in there

New Jersey is #1 state for teacher starting salary.

Discrepency is a weird thing as the teachers could make 100k, but the people they are measured against in their stater are making $250, but the person in AL might make $25k and those they are measured against only make $40k

According to a document obtained by the Post, Eilish was vetoed because she’s “not a Trump supporter” and also because she is “
destroying our country and everything we care about
.” (Duh.) The administration also refused to allow musicians like Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, and Justin Timberlake to participate, using the rationale that all of them are liberals who support Obama or gay rights. None of them were singled out for destroying the country, though.

Per the Post:

The administration ultimately approved only 10 celebrities to participate in a PSA program: actor Dennis Quaid; gospel singer CeCe Winans; singer Marc Anthony; Hasidic singer Shulem Lemmer; Mehmet Oz, known as the television doctor Dr. Oz; country singers Billy Ray Cyrus, Miranda Lambert and Garth Brooks; former basketball player Dwyane Wade; and singer Enrique Iglesias.

What is a hole? (https://kottke.org/20/11/q-what-is-a-hole-a-were-not-sure)

How many holes does a donut have? That’s pretty easy: one. What about a straw? Two (one at each end) or just one? (Isn’t a straw just an elongated donut?) Does a coffee mug have one hole or two? Does a bowl have a hole? If no, then what about a hole in the ground or a hole in a wall that doesn’t pass all the way through? Does a basketball have a hole? A Reddit user asked 1600 people how many holes were in various objects and the results (https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/jiaqsu/oc_i_asked_16k_people_how_many_holes_certain/) are fantastically all over the place.

oh and because all some do is complain and have to be in constant enraged mode, first it was Harry Styles wearing a dress on a magazine cover... and I like Tim Booth pointed that all of James were wearing dresses on the cover of their biggest album "Laid"

and today in moaning, BBC1 has decided to play an alternate "censored" version the classic "Fairytale of New York"  where the key line is replaced with "you're cheap and you're haggard" and word slut silenced.   needless to say some are losing their minds because of this  ::)

“This trench was supposed to last us the whole year,” Thompson says, looking over the mass grave. “Instead it was full within two months.”

Through the end of October, 2,009 New Yorkers have been buried on Hart Island in 2020, more than double last year’s total of 846. The bodies are buried over 131 acres of rolling meadows. The only signs of the dead are 3-ft. white posts stuck in the ground every 25 yd. or so. Each marker signifies 150 bodies below, and they are every-where on the island.

Hart Island is a uniquely New York phenomenon. In other cities, the indigent are cremated or buried at a traditional cemetery. Here, they’re buried together on an island inaccessible to most city residents. Although most New Yorkers are oblivious to its existence, Hart Island is a necessary by-product of a sprawling metropolis—not everyone can afford a formal funeral. And to people who oversee the graveyard, burial is a more sensible option than cremation. “What if someone is sent by mistake?” says Captain Martin Thompson, 59, of the city’s DOC, who has overseen operations on Hart Island for 15 years. “You can’t reverse a cremation.”

Sex Pistols star Johnny Rotten bitten by a flea after rescuing squirrels

https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/entertainment/sex-pistols-star-johnny-rotten-bitten-flea-his-penis-after-rescuing-squirrels



He said: "I looked down there this morning at my willy and there's a f****** flea bite on it. And there's another one on the inside of my leg."

John, 64, endured his flea bites after he befriended a bunch of squirrels at his Venice Beach home in Los Angeles, and has said he's taken to smothering himself in Vaseline to ease his discomfort, because he doesn't want to "blame the poor squirrels".

He added: "The bites, wow, last night was murder because of it. The itching too. It's such a poxy thing to get caught out on. The only way around it, because I'm not going to blame the poor little squirrels, is to Vaseline my legs.

In my area, there are huge signs in front of every store I go, sometimes as large as me, that scream out in all caps that you are not allowed to be in the store without a face mask, No exceptions.

And in every one of those stores I walk through, there are countless people without masks and not a single damn employee says a word to them because in my area if they do, you will get punched or shot.

this already bonkers story about the ex-cop in texas who assaulted an air conditioner repairman who he falsely thought was carrying 750,000 fraudulent ballots in his truck, gets even more bonkers as he was reportedly paid $266,400 for it by a group calling themselves

Liberty Center for God and Country

clearly i'm in the wrong line of work  ;)  but wow would I ever IRL avoid any group calling themselves that..  oh and they post all kinds of warm and fuzzy FB stuff

Well my sugar addicted daughter who doesn't exercise (even in virtual PE class) and hasn't taken a shit in four days kept repeatedly dumping syrup on whatever she was eating for breakfast (she does this with whipped cream too.) And when i (gently, not condescendingly) questioned her need for so much syrup on her meal, her mother instantly started yelling at me that "there's no place for a father to call in question what his daughter is eating, that's the mother's job." And off it went from there. She started ragging on my daughter for eating too much candy, and I said "Well you're the who buys her all the candy." And that didn't go over too well.

The rebuff of affection actually took place several hours later. The objection was that she was in the middle of work, and I didn't knock/ask if I could come in.

Anyway, I've moved in. Had a great Bissell Brothers DIPA with Mexican takeout from dinner. Time to watch the Queen's Gambit finale.

Anyway, I've moved in. Had a great Bissell Brothers DIPA with Mexican takeout from dinner. Time to watch the Queen's Gambit finale.

So much to unpack here.
I’ve said this before but as someone relatively recently married compared to the baseline of this community (3 years this week) the tales from Space about his relationship keep me up at night.

Things are better this morning. And my kid took a shit. Two of them.

yeah, kids can put down crap, as long as they are active and hydrated, shouldn't be a problem into their 20's
it's the habits and relationship with food/cooking that can impact a child later in life

Since then I have driven to the eastern shore many times but I find the trip a pain in the ass and can’t imagine doing it just to look at sea...with a few notable exceptions say the bay bridge it’s a pretty unscenic ugly drive..

At least have lunch somewhere!

This was my line of thought, too. She said "You drive all the way to Shenandoah to hike." But that's like half the distance and the drive is much prettier.

I have definitely driven to the ocean just to look at it for a hot minute and go back so I won’t say there’s anything jerky about the idea. But I also didn’t insist other people do it. But I also, also think that there’s nothing wrong with asking your partner to do this and a refusal can definitely be really much more jerky than the request.

So yeah, “can it be both”? Try therapy.

Wow, did I mention 1995 somewhere or is that a guess? More like 1995-2016. Traded her in on a used CX-5 right around Xmas 2016. Got $100 or $200 for her.

It should be noted that Brennser also had a Saturn.

Great little car for what it was. It basically had pieces falling off as I drove it, but never any major repair costs. Probably helped that I only drove it about 1000 miles per year.

Of course, mine had some rear spoilers, so a bit fancier than the one in the pic.

I wake up before sunrise and get out of the house just to drive at least once a month, sometimes more.  I rarely have a destination, sometimes don't even know if I'm going north or south, but almost always drive the coast.  The midway point is nearly always me stopping on a beach, hanging out for about 15-20 minutes and heading home.  I usually try to bring something home - a loaf of bread, bottle of wine, something.

The Brand has no interest in coming with me and that is perfectly fine by me.  She prefers her sleep and I think she knows I prefer to drive alone (or at least to control the soundtrack).  She's always welcome of course, and I bought a dash cam to share some of the best parts of the drive with her when I return. 

I also buy cars with this in mind - will it perform well on PCH?  I was on the verge of buying an old 911 when we met, so the Macan was a temporary compromise just in case we had a child.  So I guess that old 911 is little longer off - when she was first born though, I would take her with me, feed her on the beach and she would sleep in the car seat most of the way there and back.

So no - you don't have to feel badly about not going to the same extent that she shouldn't feel crazy about driving a long way just to see the ocean.  She should find some fun, different roads though just to make it interesting.  And a good soundtrack.

If driving the PCH to Rehoboth was an option, this wouldn't be a question. I'm all about scenic drives. Or if it were two hours round trip instead of six.

My wife has a fear of driving over bridges and doesn't want to drive the whole six hours on her own. So doing it without me (but with my daughter) is not an option for her.

And the idea of it has been mutually killed.

And I drive a CX-5, which she hates because is smaller and less powerful than the Rav-4 that she chooses to drive.

The end, thanks for your advice y'all.

umm don't drive south this weekend

3 or 4 years ago my folks moved to the Central Coast of CA and I have been chomping at the bit to make the drive down there via 1 (with the family in the car we take 101).  PCH has been a revolving door of open and close since then because of fires, landslides and now this cliff giving way.  I was crushed to see it closed again and it looks like it will be for a while.  Again.

However, on my weekend drives south I rarely go past Santa Cruz, let alone Monterey so this won't impact that much.

Just a stroke of luck that my friend's wedding in SB was that month. Visited Fremont, my birthplace, afterwards. First time back after having moved to Maryland in 1977. Yes, 42 years away. Hell of a mind trip. Visited Sunol, then watched nervously last year as one of the biggest fires nearly took it out (came within a mile).

Even visited a bowling alley of my youth, Cloverleaf Bowl. It had been around since the early 1960s. The land owners wanted to kick them out and sell the land for housing but they fought back. Then COVID hit and forced their hand.

Also, we on this board are a very small subset of concertgoers...the average concertgoer sees two shows a year... if that...

Many people have seen their finances turned upside down and am not so sure their priority will be rock concerts

indeed they were, and were doing all that they could given the supply/demand curve in effect that that time.

post-covid, that curve will shift - there will be more supply (every musician is going to want to gig), but there is even more demand.  hundreds of bands want to tour, millions of punters want to listen/dance/party/etc.

It’s just not that simple

There may be enforced capacity constraints which could drive up prices


But People may feel unsure about being in small indoor crowded spaces (even vaccined)...covid may never fully go away or stop circulating.. this may discourage some people particularly at the beginning

There are also a limited number of venues and you will have more acts competing for those slots so acts may accept lower guarantee offers

And , again, most people go to one or two shows a year

Lastly, I realize a lot of boardies are highly successful Mr Moneybags but many Americans have been and continue to struggle... young people - often typical concertgoers particularly for club shows- are getting shellacked and am not sure how much higher ticket prices can go before they are priced out

It’s not necessarily so simple as “everyone is going to want to party!!”

Another example of the brilliance of “we have no taxes!” Texas. This is the Texas/Arkansas border. Our state leaders laughed at them when they bought snowplows. So, on the left is the Texas side of the highway, on the right, the Arkansas side.

The way I read this is Trump took a big wack at Iran on way out the door..took out a bigwig or two...really unprecedented and way out of line


Iran didn’t respond/retaliate knowing if they did Trump would use it to start a war (for political advantage) and he is loco

Once Biden takes over after a few week grace period they exercised a token response..was in the news last week

Biden then slapped them on the wrist back..wink wink..while also signaling the days of the US just leaving the whole area to Russia are over


That’s my reading of it

umm don't drive south this weekend

Does anyone else have a partner who, if you accidentally leave a mess somewhere in the house, emails you a picture of the mess with the email subject "Unacceptable!"?

The difference being that when you're both home teleworking they can follow up the email by screaming at you in person, whereas when you're at the office they can only call your office and start screaming at you over the phone.

As I said, i wasn't aware there was a mess until i got back from the store where i was picking up food to make the family dinner and was screamed at upon my arrival.

I know better than to call her out for any messes, but when i humbly, quietly do, I get screamed at because "you make way more messes than i do, and i do more work, so you have no right to criticize me about anything."

She is convinced that she is the one who has been "disrespected. Grown adults don't leave messes like that for other adults to clean up."

After apologizing, I tried to explain that i didn't know that i had left the mess and she insisted that i need to slow down so that i know when i make messes.

I also suggested the perhaps a more constructive course would have been to leave the mess until i got home from the store, show it to me, and kindly but firmly ask me to be more careful and to clean it up.

My "lecturing" was not appreciated.

I appreciate you guys and the rest of the 9:30 internet putting up with my blathering. I used to have these kinds of talks with my best friend who died a few years ago, we both had marital issues we often talked each other through....don't really have that kind of in-person friend right now. It's also hard to find confidants when you share friends as a couple. Seems like a professional is the way to go, rather than burdening friends, acquaintances, or strangers.

I have been in long term relationships with men and women.  The difference, is mind blowing and staggeringly different.

Sorry straight people, but homosexual relationships blow yours out of the water.  We relate better, we get along better, we have better sex, we fight less, we have a like minded cause toward oppression and hatred from others that builds our bonds of togetherness stronger.

That's why straight people hate gay people and can't stand gay relationships . . . We do it better!

If your partner has a bush and you're getting hair in your teeth, you're not licking in the right place. Plus, shaving your bush doesn't make you more "clean", taking a shower does.

God . . . I'm glad that I fuck men

How is a relationship between two men any different than one between a man and a woman?

My guess is Walky's partner keeps his genitalia and anus sleek and clean.

Montgomery County Challenges Residents to Start Plogging—


An Initiative to Encourage Picking Up Trash While Jogging or Walking
To celebrate the start of Earth Month, Montgomery County is kicking off a spring #PloggingChallenge from April 1 through June 30. The initiative, led by the Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in partnership with Montgomery Parks and the Montgomery County Department of Transportation, challenges everyone to “plog”—pick up trash while they jog or walk.

The plogging concept asks people who regularly jog or a walk to take a trash bag and a grabber and pick up trash while they are on their route.

Plogging is a worldwide trend that started in Sweden and is now a part of Montgomery County’s effort to reduce litter. It also is a great way to get in extra exercise. As a workout, plogging adds bending, squatting and stretching to the main actions of jogging or walking, all while cleaning up our community.

Residents can join the #PloggingChallenge by taking a photo of themselves plogging in Montgomery County and tagging the DEP Instagram account @mygreenmc or using the hashtag #MontgomeryPlogs on Instagram. Participants also can submit photos via email to DEP.contests@montgomerycountymd.gov.

Anyone who joins the #PloggingChallenge can get a free “Plog-A-Long" pack by signing up on the DEP website https://mygreenmontgomery.org/2021/greenfest-plogging-challenge/

Each Plog-A-Long pack contains trash and recycling bags, gloves, a one litter grabber and hand sanitizer. Those who sign up to receive a Plog-A-Long pack are committing to picking up trash, disposing of trash properly and reporting the number of bags of trash that are picked up.

Students will be eligible to earn one Student Service Learning hour per day, per bag of trash picked up. Prizes and other plogging events are planned throughout the campaign.

All Plog-Along Packs must be picked up in person at a designated location. See the website for further details.

“The Plogging Challenge is a fun and engaging way to raise awareness about stormwater pollution,” said DEP Director Adam Ortiz. “All of the trash that we see on the sides of the roads, on curbs, in streams, and in stormwater ponds eventually ends up in our rives and waterways. Plogging is a simple act that can really have an impact. Imagine how much trash we can collect if everyone were to plog even a little bit every day.”

More campaign details can be found here:   https://mygreenmontgomery.org/2021/greenfest-plogging-challenge/ .

i didn't grow up with much of that, but the missus had a state-mandated curriculum called Postponing Sexual Involvement forced upon her in school - so all the kids had to go through it, not just the offspring of the religiously repressed (then again, one could argue that everyone in that state was the offspring of the religiously repressed...).  sounds like what she went through with PSI is about the same as these religious folks: social pressure to conform, mixed messaging wrt mainstream media, public shaming, poor preparation for what your body was going to experience, etc.  sounds awful.

in order to break the cycle of us eating the same dozen dishes, we recently bought a pair of international cookbooks.  a few weeks ago i picked out empanadas.  mistake.  those things take forever to make when you aren't good at it.  i started two and a half hours before dinner time, and was only a little more than half way through my stuffings by the time dinner rolled around.  i munched on a few, then got back to rolling out dough and folding while the rest of the fam finished their meal.  they were tasty but don't think i'll be doing that again (at least not until next year's national empanada day...)

Empanadas are really an overnight project thing!!


And I have yet to make my own dough

Although the shells one can buy here aren’t quite big enough for my taste..more like appetizer empanadas

My mother always made the best empanadas.. homemade dough cause you couldn’t find shells in those days wherever we happened to be

The other key thing to remember is that there are dozens of different empanadas depending on the country and type...just in Argentina you have dozens that have little in common with dozens in Chile or wherever... it’s really just a stuffed turnover

I know nothing about empanada dough, but is there a reason it takes so long to make?

The life partner and I have really gotten into pasta making over the pandemic and really perfected a few recipes... Additionally, have done pizza dough that I'm assuming is somewhat similar to empanada dough?

Does anyone want to make a cooking thread?
Title: Re: random . . . randomness

I would definitely consider starting a cooking thread but my life partner does all the cooking and I just sit and watch. It makes a perfect relationship, for me. And then I have to clean the entire kitchen and all dishes. Which makes it a perfect relationship, for my life partner.

No slur intended. When the shit hits the fan at my house, which it often does, that song pops into my head. Just the song title mind you. I'm not a drunk  like the guy in the song. Just a guy who occasionally doesn't spread the wash cloth back out on the rack properly, or who cleans the table after dinner but occasionally misses a crumb or two.

In reality, the song would be more aptly entitled "The Lugan is on the Warpath Again."

Arlington considering IS tearing down Inner Ear studios and turning the area an "arts district" (https://www.arlnow.com/2021/04/16/county-eyes-shirlington-property-for-future-arts-and-industry-district/)

Zientara has been recording for more than 30 years in his basement and the Shirlington location. The long list of those who have recorded at the hole-in-the-wall studio includes the Foo Fighters, Fugazi and Minor Threat.

“I’m sorry to see it go, but that’s the way that it is,” Zientara said. “So I’m OK with it — it’s just the natural evolution of things. You can’t stop progress. I hope what they do have is something that can complement the arts in the county.”

It’s just so much more money with the Super League


Like just for participation you get $350 million up front per team....four times what the WINNER of the Champions gets!!! You are talking about tens of billions of dollars more over a few years...

My initial reaction is that the Super League is a very bad idea.. but I can see the temptation for the big clubs

I just don’t know enough about it

On the other hand the Champions League is currently the absolute pinnacle of high quality soccer.. the world’s top competition.. gutting that seems crazy

But if it means I no longer have to hear the Champions League theme song I might support the Super League

While living in CA, when filing taxes or voting (can't remember) but there was something about Armenian's and the genocide...and I was puzzled, had never heard word one about this
Worked with a young Armenian a few years back and their hatred of the Turks was legendary

Biden will declare on Saturday that the Ottoman Empire's killing of 1.5 million Armenians was an act of genocide, becoming the first sitting president to do so.
Title: Re: random . . . randomness
Post by: hutch on April 21, 2021, 08:16:11 pm
Many Armenians migrated to Argentina and you see graffiti everywhere with the phrase “Turcos asesinos”

I am glad Biden is doing this...can’t imagine the Turkish government is thrilled ...maybe part of an overall realignment of US foreign policy which must happen and which Obama also tried..away from Israel/Saudi Arabia and maybe now Turkey..I would hope away from Pakistan too...


The biography of Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun went into length about this because his father was Turkish ambassador to the US (here in DC obviously) and in exchange for I guess Turkey not joining the Axis he got the US government to quash Hollywood movies which were going to cast a bad light on what the Turks had done to the Armenians...anyways Ahmet - his whole life- denied the Armenian holocaust... rather a black mark on such a beloved man and such an institution in music...the book kind of glossed this over because it was kind of an authorized bio (collaboration from Ahmet’s widow)

Caitlyn Jenner officially announces challenge to Newsom in California recall

It's not really a "challenge" as the recall process is two step.

First question:  Do you want to recall Gavin Newsom?

Second question: Regardless of how you voted in the first question, who would you like to replace Gavin Newsom if he were to be recalled?

There will be a number of Republicans on the ticket to choose from, including Caitlyn Jenner.  No Democrat has added their name to the list.

This is the 56th time a recall has been attempted on the Governor since we added it as an option in the early 20th century (basically every Governor), and it has only been successful once.  That successful attempt gave CA Arnold Schwarzenegger, so I don't rule anything out, but this Governor's poll ratings are improving.

Well this is a bummer
https://www.mediaite.com/politics/jen-psaki-reveals-she-plans-to-step-down-as-biden-press-secretary-next-year/
still a while away, but my fav WH Spokesperson by far



Jen Psaki rocks
It’s hard to remember every White House spokesperson since I started paying attention but she is on track to be my favorite
There is something disarming but at the same time tough about her...


Guess you got your fill

I just ignore all these press conferences
Just so sick of politics
I have had my fill for a while
man, every time I listen to Jen Psaki, it's just so comforting to listen to someone who is competent at what they do and are not condescending

Doesn't seem like a big ask, but after the last 4 years of press briefings, it is a breath of fresh air

Human garbage


Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene aggressively confronted Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday and falsely accused her of supporting “terrorists,” leading the New York congresswoman’s office to call on leadership to ensure that Congress remains “a safe, civil place for all Members and staff.”

Two Washington Post reporters witnessed Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) exit the House chamber late Wednesday afternoon ahead of Greene (Ga.), who shouted “Hey Alexandria” twice in an effort to get her attention. When Ocasio-Cortez did not stop walking, Greene picked up her pace and began shouting at her and asking why she supports antifa, a loosely knit group of far-left activists, and Black Lives Matter, falsely labeling them “terrorist” groups. Greene also shouted that Ocasio-Cortez was failing to defend her “radical socialist” beliefs by declining to publicly debate the freshman from Georgia.

“You don’t care about the American people,” Greene shouted. “Why do you support terrorists and antifa?”

yeah, i feel ya.  every now and then, in a moment of emotional fragility, i look at my dog and get sad that i'm going to outlive her.  but we're all here only for a moment, some moments are shorter than others, and while corny i do believe in "it's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all."  for corny ol' me, the good times outweigh the eventual big bad one.  it's a good exercise in living here and now, not in the future.

That non-sequitur aside, its just kind of crazy to me that they apparently were this gung ho about it to put it on their website. 1999-2000 is not 1987 -- this was established science by then. No one I know in 2000 would've bought into this. I was never a big Foo Fighters fan but I feel like if this had gotten better publicized back then, it would've blown up in their face big time.

Its looking like Grohl is implicated too, supporting an organization that promoted the idea that vaccines cause autism (https://www.metafilter.com/191501/AIDS-denialism-in-the-Rock-and-Roll-Hall-of-Fame#8106024):

Dave Grohl, frontman for the multiple Grammy award-winning band Foo Fighters – and who headlined the Autism Speaks "Blue Jean Ball" in 2013 – returns to headline the organization's "Into the Blue" gala on October 4, 2018 (PRNewswire, Sep 27, 2018)

Wiki entry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism_Speaks): "Autism Speaks has been the focus of controversy; over 60 disability rights organizations have condemned the organization for failing to represent autistic people, and for exploitative practices." The organization was anti-vaxx until this 2017 change to its "What Causes Autism" info page.

I choose not to get involved with autism advocacy.. I don’t even have a autism ribbon or puzzle piece sticker on my car

And maybe autism speaks is and was terribly misguided and wrong on many issues..but i think people need to be nuanced in how they look at people and organizations..this idea that we must cancel everything that falls or FELL short of our beliefs that day is insanity

The fact is Autism Speaks has done a ton of work promoting awareness of autism -which is huge cause the earlier you are aware there might be something going on the better - AND advocating for autistic people and their families

Really when my first kid was diagnosed they were the only player in town even pretending to give a shit

I have noticed HUGE resistance to them within the autism community..now the autism community is pretty divided... you got genius people that function great, artsy people like Anthony Hopkins or David Byrne, and people that can’t speak and really really struggle..I am talking about your worst nightmare..kids that scream all night.. kids like Nick Hornby’s son that they eventually realized they just had to institutionalize him...(Hornby has done good work on a micro level)..it’s a really broad spectrum...they say if you know one person on the autism spectrum you know one person on the autism spectrum

Like I said I am not involved and can’t speak to these polemics but I was comforted knowing at least somebody was lobbying Congress etc but I get it some people think they are satan

Without knowing how Mendel feels about this issue today I wouldn’t cancel him


I mean one time 25 years ago I gave $5 to a Larouche table in Georgetown

They called me and tried to “convert” me hardcore over many months ..this dude met with me to chat..I guess cause I was working at the world bank..I was bored what can I say?

Eventually I said take a hike..not my nature as I like to argue about shit til the cows come home

My wife. Her professional job, not being married to me. Though maybe the latter is not a picnic in the park either.

I'm more interested in ruling on that diacritic on the e in elite. Now that is prime hypocrisy in an article attempting to shame someone for not being a common person -- indicating you're using the French word instead of the cognate that's fully been adapted into English for a century. PICK A LANE.

I know! Just not sure I buy it but if private equity is pumping billions into real estate to invest excess cash or excess liquidity  that might partly explain why prices are so high...

After all if a person buys a new house presumably they have to sell their old house so that quite doesn’t explain increase in demand..even if you tell me well it’s younger people coming in- first time homebuyers- that can’t entirely explain it...and don’t people dying leave houses to be sold?

But if you have equity firms looking to diversify and convert cheap cash , whose value they are worried might get inflated away , into bricks - well- that could help explain what is going on with real estate better than “it’s new buyers!”  Or “people upgrading!”

the housing market in the seattle area is just stupid, apparently third-worse behind austin and san diego.  we have some good friends here looking to buy their first house, they're both young professionals earning good salaries, and after being at it for 6+ months they're clinically depressed.  if you're not offering at least $100k over asking, all cash, with no conditions, you ain't getting squat.

The market . . . here . . . is cooling, since the end of May.  We, all, are seeing it.  Buyers who bought in 2020 / early 2021, are going to fucking hate themselves in late 2021 / 2022.  So many coming soon properties / so many listings sitting for 2 weeks, when before their neighbor's homes stayed on the market for 2 to 4 days.

The expectation that covid is over and we are going back to the way it was, has settled in.  God I am not looking forward to the buyers coming on in full force with a list of "fuck off demands" and "you are not getting anywhere near list price any longer."  I am seeing that on my last listing, already.

this seems like an awesome deal...wish I was young and had no responsibilities as I would totally do this


Amtrack-
Get your USA Rail Pass for only $299—valid for up to 10 segments over 30 days of travel. That’s less than $30 a segment. Act fast, this offer is only valid through June 22.

I did the Eurrail Pass for a month the summer after i graduated from college. I later looked at the passes again, and it seemed like unlike when i did it, you now have the additional cost of reserving seats, which was totally unnecessary when i had the pass. Anyway, fun times. Wish I had the time to do something like that again. Maybe when i retire.

You guys want to hear a fucked up story? I feel like this should go in a Space thread (if he had one), because it's a downer.

So yesterday our nearly 11 year old dog had his annual teeth cleaning... Two months ago when this was scheduled, I had a face to face meeting with the vet to discuss a strange growth that's been on his neck for years (approximately the size of a raspberry). We agreed they would remove it when he was under anesthesia to limit his exposure to anesthesia, etc... He's old.

Anyway, two weeks ago we had a confirmation that this would be done, additionally filled out forms two days ago with confirmation on the surgery, discussed it again at intake yesterday at 7am.

I receive a call yesterday at 11am... "Hey Mr. Yada, wanted to know your dog is out of surgery and doing well. His incision on his leg is quite large and will need at least three weeks to heal."

I immediately flip the fuck out... They performed fucking surgery on the wrong part of his body and removed a benign golf size tumor that's been on his leg for probably four years. It's not visible to the eye or can you even tell it's there unless your his owner or a damn vet.

I've contacted a few malpractice type lawyers, if anyone has any recs, please send them my way! This is for a large brand name in Bethesda.

right, because you've just involved a third party: the pharmacy.

if a doctor told you to take a medication, and he sold the pills to you directly, then later called to say "woops, i accidentally looked at someone else's chart, you don't need that medicine" - wouldn't you be having a chat with that doctor about getting your money back for the unneeded meds he sold you?  i certainly would.

This somewhat goes in line with your #fatFuck observations from the beach... but I spent a handful of days in western, pa this past week and holy shit... Half the people there at the local fair looked like someone legitimately bathed them in mud, let it harden, and then let them loose into the wild. Additionally, the BMI must've been nearly 50% on nearly 75% of the population while the opiate addiction rates are probably similar.

Trump flags in basically every yard in town (where every house is essentially dilapidated) and trump 2024 banners all over the place. #sad

One highlight was the polish food stand that had epic amounts of kielbasa and pierogis while in the background a pretty killer GnR cover band called Yinz and Roses played.

I noticed this too, house is falling apart (maybe because they rent and have been protected by the eviction freeze), but they spent $$ on some giant trump banners

I wonder what happens to these voters when Trump isn't on the ticket or around, I just don't see them warming up to the GOP...I just see them not voting

i'm pinning my hope that the orange tub of cheese-fat will have a heart attack, or some other medical issue, between now and then.  trump himself said that he would run in 2024 as long as his health permitted it.  even he recognizes that a life of KFC and hamburgers can pose certainly limitations at a certain age...

Uh dude his parents lived to be 93 and 88! He is what 74?! Actually just turned 75

Trust me he couldn’t care less how his poor health affects the country


He will run forever because it’s a grift  operation… a scam…he doesn’t have to win to funnel hundreds of millions of dollars to himself… and contrary to popular opinion he is not a billionaire

Sure if he is incapacitated by a heart attack or stroke he won’t run but is that really going to happen?

The only thing that might stop him- realistically- is if loses the support of his base but we know that’s very unlikely

Or if he ends up in jail which I see as unlikely… even in that case he would tell people to vote for Jr

Our only hope is Biden is an effective president and is lucky but Trump isn’t going anywhere

they also weren't as unhealthy as donald is.  fred trump was stick-thin.  trump is a walking orange-hued lump of bacon fat.
 
Trust me he couldn’t care less how his poor health affects the country
 
correct, he only cares about himself.  but if himself isn't going to look good because of his health, or would otherwise spend his time differently should his health decline, then a run for 1600 could be out...
 
He will run forever because it’s a grift  operation… a scam…he doesn’t have to win to funnel hundreds of millions of dollars to himself… and contrary to popular opinion he is not a billionaire
 
i think that opinion is only popular among his followers.  the rest of the country knows damn well is isn't nearly as rich as he pretends to be (another trick of his: he counts only assets and not the associated debt.)
 
Sure if he is incapacitated by a heart attack or stroke he won’t run but is that really going to happen?
 
if you look up the actuarial tables for risk of medical incidents for a morbidly obese, non-exercising 75 year old then yeah, there is a very good chance it could happen.
 
The only thing that might stop him- realistically- is if loses the support of his base but we know that’s very unlikely
 
agreed
 
Or if he ends up in jail which I see as unlikely… even in that case he would tell people to vote for Jr
 
here's the crazy thing: he can run for president from jail.  there is nothing in the constitution about convicts not being able to run.  his followers are stupid enough to vote for him even if he's in jail.  but practically, it would ruin his chances: his 30-35% base of support would vote for him, but very very few other people also would.  he wouldn't break 40% of the popular vote.

I feel like you guys aren’t seeing the big picture. You are trying to analyze the situation as if Trump is operating within our democratic process and therefore needs to “win”…as if there are rules… and implicitly assuming military or police force will control the mob and maintain order. They may just look the other way…

I am increasingly worried.

If his base is with him - and they will vote for whoever Trump tells them to- Trump or his stand-in don’t even have to win. These are authoritarians…violent, angry, and armed with little to lose - not people who respect the constitution- and just because the coup failed doesn’t mean they won’t try again. In fact I think they are emboldened…nothing much has really happened in the wake of January 6. They are chomping at the bit to try again. I bet you they are organizing right now.

And this has nothing to do with the GOP. There is no GOP left. There is a Trump popular movement that has completely co-opted and taken over the GOP.

Biden must be very successful and lucky.

No way.  The 1964 Aston Martin DB5 is an icon and even though I've seen one a hundred times, I spend more time staring at that car than any other at car shows featuring brand new cars I've never even seen before.

If you had to go cheap you'll appreciate driving the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window way more than that Jag, but I see the attraction to the Jag too.  The split window was just so cool though.

i haven't been to an Arby's in probably two decades, but i do remember the French Dip being the go to choice...  that and curly fries..

on a recent episode of Good Girls one the characters asked the waitress what kind of fries they had and three types were rattled off, for which the answer for the choice was all three..  and i'm like wow hadn't never thought of making that choice before.   and pipe down i watch a lot of TV, seeing as i'm dead

I think it's even worse that the original 9:30 is now a J. Crew.

Which reminds me: we should petition the city to put a historical marker at 930 F St NW. Perhaps target the 45th anniversary (for 45 RPM).

first off verizon chat agents are useless...

but where it stands right now is they finally got my dvr service added back which was $12 and the monthly bill went up $121... math is apparently not verizon's strong suit

But whatever you do in a few months your bill will be higher than when you started!!

The only thing really worth doing, in my experience is buying your own modem.
You can find resellers of OEM Fios "Gig Speed" modems on ebay.
If I recall, we spent ~$70.00 about five years ago. It's likely the smallest part of your recurring bill, but it's a psychological win and we've never had any troubles with the unit that we bought.

If your OTA reception sucks try Locast.org. All local OTA channels and subchannels, free for the first few hours but then "donation" nag ads interrupt your viewing. $5.50/month makes those go away. Watch on the website or smartphone and TV device apps.

If they ever release an Apple Watch app then we could truly have TV on our wrists.

We went to nothing but FIOS maybe three years ago? We use a digital antenna/prime/Netflix/Hulu(spotify combo).

We pay under $100 a month for all three with a gigabit line.

I have had absolutely zero issues with Verizon FIOS tv and internet and my interactions with their billing and service departments have been exceptional. Then again, I am a person utterly content to spend $185/month for gigabit + every channel in HD + HBO + Showtime + Starz + Epix + every sports station in existence including the 24/7 Cricket HD channel.

Sorry, I should not have just used the word router (though one could argue that at least one of the mesh devices serves as a router, the others are just access points).  Yes, buy a modem and router or if your place is large, a wifi mesh system.

agreed that it's inefficient, but such is my current life as a consultant:
now you may say "this could all be done in one system" or "why don't you integrate".  answer to #1 is "we are separate companies, hence separate systems", and answer to #2 is "it's not worth the investment."  and overall, my company needs the flexibility to serve all sorts of clients - this modular approach allow us to tailor timekeeping and billing to anyone.  or so i'm told.  i dunno, i just work here.  sometimes.

186 cukes?!?  jeebus.  better start pickling.

we're limited what we can grow here due to the wildlife.  anything left accessible to animals will be decimated overnight.  despite this, we're managing: asparagus, several kinds of tomatoes, salad greens, snow peas, green beans, garlic, carrots, rhubarb, kale, and potatoes.  we don't bother counting/weighing our agricultural output...  we have a raspberry patch but have given up on defending it so we don't get anything.  we are surrounded by more wild blackberries than we know what to do with.  i have two sour cherry trees that are limping along for a third year now, they're clearly not happy here and i'm afraid they may never produce.

So I watched this show on NatGeo that featured an appearance of The Suffers, which turned out to be a soft sell for Texas Tourism.  I'm was thinking Texas sure  does have some interesting places to visit, but it with Florida are currently on the top of my list of places I have no desire ever to set foot in.  And it's not just the absolute bungling of the COVID response either... I feel no need to spend dollars in any state where the QOP is loosening gun laws, stomping on voter rights, lather rinse repeat..

I'm with you on Texas and Florida. I would visit Montana, Utah, or Wyoming.

We are at 186 cucumbers, 23 zucchini, 3 eggplant, many hundreds of cherry tomatoes, many dozens of slicing tomatoes, and a handful of snowpeas. total of 125 pounds of produce so far this farming season. Anyone else growing veggies?

186 cukes?!?  jeebus.  better start pickling.

we're limited what we can grow here due to the wildlife.  anything left accessible to animals will be decimated overnight.  despite this, we're managing: asparagus, several kinds of tomatoes, salad greens, snow peas, green beans, garlic, carrots, rhubarb, kale, and potatoes.  we don't bother counting/weighing our agricultural output...  we have a raspberry patch but have given up on defending it so we don't get anything.  we are surrounded by more wild blackberries than we know what to do with.  i have two sour cherry trees that are limping along for a third year now, they're clearly not happy here and i'm afraid they may never produce.

We are now at 205 cuckes, and 132 pounds of produce in total.
I have pickled around 150 or so of them.
We have made better friends with the neighbors who we force to take our produce.
We have gotten blackberries in trade, and the some tasty indian food as well.
Weighing the produce is a bit we are doing to see how much the cheap vegetables are costing us. Our costs of set up are around $1100. So, we are or so $$/pound for vegetables we could have bought for SO Much less.

Invest in a fence.

well he'll have to go on tour with Lynyrd Skynyrd and Blackberry Smoke.  Both bands had to cancel dates at the last minute due to positive Covid test results for band members

and little wonder why Jason Isbell is pushing so hard for venues to ensure people are vaxxed, etc...

also, apparently i've been to the USVI with my (at the time future-) wife's family, in 2007 and 2009, but i swear i've only ever been there once with them.  in my defence, it could be my subconsciousness suppressing those memories so i feel i have more of an excuse there.

On a similar note, I wondered recently if today's youngins know what Apple's "Mac" is short for. I asked a couple of the college students I work with, a 30ish grad and 19-year-old undergrad. Both said Macintosh but neither were sure. The undergrad had seen it used deep in the weeds of Mac settings.

tell me about it.   But seems like this is actually fake news and they went on lockdown when there was actually no shooter or shooting

ended up canceling school ?!

There was a real shooting in Arlington, Texas about an hour after this posting.

think we might need a "Sh!t happening in <insert State Name here>" thread

the story out of Missouri where a local newspaper discovers a flaw in the HTML code of a public state gov site that exposed the SSNs of teachers and holds off on publishing the story about it, as they informed the state and allows it to be fixed.

but of course because there is a republican governor involved, he wants the reporter who discovered the flaw investigated and charged with hacking.. because the reporter did more than a "right click" to discover three SSNs...

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) on Sunday night told fellow conservatives they must stop liberals from attacking masculinity and creating a nation of “idle men” who watch pornography and play video games instead of working and raising families.

Hawley delivered the speech on the “future of the American man” at the National Conservatism Conference in Orlando, calling for a return to traditional gender roles. He said liberals’ “attempt to give us a world beyond men” was part of their larger effort to “deconstruct America,” an endeavor that, according to the senator, includes critical race theory, economic socialism and doing away with the concept of gender altogether.

“The Left want to define traditional masculinity as toxic. They want to define the traditional masculine virtues — things like courage and independence and assertiveness — as a danger to society,” Hawley said.

russia invading ukraine is an absolute disaster.  it'll fuck up luhansk and donets, it'll fuck up ukraine, it'll fuck up europe, and it'll further fuck up the global economy... all because one small, greedy man wants to relive a past glory that never existed.

Weren’t the two areas Russian troops went into already effectively Russian controlled dating back to 2014?

no.  the russians were supporting the mercenaries in eastern ukraine, but it was all back-channel and undern the table.  the russians themselves weren't there, certainly not in the overwhelming numbers they will be now.  putin didn't have direct control.  the territory was still ukraine's.  now putin is stealing it, just like he did crimea.

I find it hard to get excited here….

how well have wars in europe turned out for the world?  this won't remain a local, isolated conflict.  have you read anything about the global impacts this is going to have?  there is also that thing about the rule of law.  i don't want to live in a chaotic world where rules mean nothing and breaking them has no consequences.

Sanctions are weak

we're about to find out.  one thing that is interesting is that the previous sanctions imposed on russia were cooked up on the fly - no one expected putin to invade crimea so the west scrambled to come up with punishments.  this time we had a heads-up, so more time to plan.  if russia gets cut off from the global banking system, which has been threatened, it'll piss off russian elites something terrible.  will be interesting to see how that plays out.

thanks to twitter i'm definitely never setting foot in texas unless it involves a plane change...

today in conservative  white men in charge we get a Executive Order that  Family Protection office is to investigate any Trans Kid and charge their parents with child abuse...

also, i saw there is a conservative group down there seeking to replace people who supported the abortion law with the bounties, with ones who will support a law that will create a death penalty for any women taking an abortion pill.

I haven't been to Pittsburgh in 20+ years (hoping to finagle a work trip there this year), but I'd move to Pittsburgh over Texas in a heartbeat.*

* I've never been to Texas, except to the time the Houston airport was flooded and our transfer flight got diverted to McAllen, where we had to stay for two or three nights,.

Anybody on here talking about the potential trucker blockade thing coming to the DC area? They just called out the National Guard today.
On Wednesday evening, he told Fox News he was 30 miles from the capital in "bumper-to-bumper" traffic. He earlier promised to caused gridlock and disruptions on the Capital Beltway as well as delays.

Love it, comes to dc to cause gridlock….and it was there before he arrived

i suspect that 90%+ of those accounts have less than 3 logins.  comm goes out, rando gets inspired and creates an account, sees what sort of inside-baseball weirdos hang out here, realize that more than half of JA - the only useful part of the board - is banter, and never come back.

another group of one-timers: folks needing to buy or sell a ticket, only.  might not even visit General Discussion.

d'oh, looked at the list of people who died on stage...3rd for the 20th century was a great entry

1912: Theodore Ronald Brailey, Roger Marie Bricoux, John Frederick Preston Clarke, Wallace Hartley, John Law Hume, Georges Alexandre Krins, Percy Cornelius Taylor, and John Wesley Woodward were the eight musicians hired to entertain on board the RMS Titanic. The band reportedly continued playing music until the sinking ship's last moments in an effort to calm the passengers.

"Located in the flyspeck village of St. Vith, 87 miles southeast of Brussels, the library houses the world’s most extensive collection of sourdough starters, those bubbling beige globs of bacteria and wild yeast — known as “mothers” — that bakers mix into dough to produce flavorful loaves with interestingly shaped holes. If a mother isn’t regularly divided and kneaded and fed with flour and water, she will eventually go dormant or die. “A starter has its own heart, almost its own will,” Mr. De Smedt said. “Treat a starter nice and it will reward you tremendously, like a good friend.”

Society at large constantly talks about the Jews like they're this huge block of people or a religion on the same footing with Christianity writ-large or Buddhism or Muslims, but they aren't even close size-wise. There are more LDS members than Jews worldwide.

I think this is a by-product of America acting like WWII is the greatest accomplishment in our national history and the super complimentary (to America) one-sentence version of what that war is about is "saving the Jews" and so they play and outsized role in people's heads.

This is politically a blessing before the election. 

Masks on flights is a losing topic for dems, and half the Dem House asked Biden to overrule the CDC.  This put him in a shit spot, because the other half said no.  Now he can fight the ruling, but not ask for an injunction.  This gives science a chance to study the data, blame Florida if it goes as predicted, and the new variant is highly contagious but hospitalizations are nearly non-existent. 

And yes, Darwin will handle those in flight.

When investigators got a search warrant for his digital devices, they said they found a video of Sharp urinating into a milkshake mix. Sharp “confessed” he did that at least twice “for sexual gratification,” officials said.

So I cancelled and Airbnb rental today online. It asked me for a reason, and I simply typed "We decided the stay somewhere else."

But I had to contact Airbnb, because the refund is scheduled to go to a credit card we no longer have. When on the phone with "J" from Airbnb, she referenced the recept, which I myself brought up at the same time.

Turns out I mistyped. Instead of typing "stay" I typed "shat".


And in case anyone cares:
To get the refuund on teh new card with the new number, you have to work it out with your bank. Airbnb can only refund to the original card number.

Also, if you have parital remaning payments on other Airbnb bookings, you can't manually change the payment card until you get a payment link email three days before the due date.

I guess taking a page from Drunk History...we now have
Drunk Shakespeare
The Sage Theatre / Drafthouse Comedy Theater - Washington, DC
(this is new? any one heard of this venue before? hard to find deets but apparently associated with Arl Cin Draft house?  I feel like I have seen people queueing up in front of this venue in the past and was curious)

You are cordially invited to a meeting of The Drunk Shakespeare Society. In a hidden speakeasy, five classically-trained actors assemble for their sacred ritual. One actor takes five shots of whiskey and then attempts to perform a major role in a Shakespeare play. Hilarity and mayhem ensue as the remaining sober actors attempt to keep the play on track. Every night is different depending on who’s drinking … and what they’re drinking! Drunk Shakespeare is a New York Times’ Critics Pick and “the best thing to ever happen to the theater” according to Slate Magazine. Craft cocktails are served throughout the show.



ok now I'm even more confused as it closed in 2020?

something similar to this toured through my town recently called "The Dope Show (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-dope-show-at-the-north-bend-theater-tickets-303036288697)".  comedians perform one set, and then attempt a second one once they've been hauled outside and made to light up.  apparently they don't go easy on them, they hit them with the strong stuff.  i didn't make it but i could see this being very hit or miss: some folks are probably hilarious while stoned, while others become boring/paranoid/introverted/sleepy/etc...i'm lucky that i live in one of the limited number of states where they can (semi-)legally do this.

I call Carlin a comedian but in many ways he was so much more…It’s kind of revolting to give him the same job title as say Ron White. I had the honor of seeing and hearing Carlin once just around the same time this clip is from… I was volunteer ushering at the Warner Theatre and once you helped seat everyone you could see the show… Anyways it was the only time I saw him - I don’t really do comedy shows-and I wasn’t that familiar with him other than him being a cranky old man in Dogma and also I think in the 90s he had some sitcom on TV…. In any case saw him about 2005 and he was so sharp, incisive and impressive…(I think him and Gore Vidal are my favorite observers of this at times infuriating country. Miss them both.. I think they would have seen the Trump years as the crystallization of their lifetime of social and cultural observation. I don’t think it would have made Carlin happy but Gore probably would have felt vindicated and….happy.)

A couple of years after seein Carlin at the Warner I swear to god he ran by me on the street in a tracksuit around 15th and N NW about a block from where I lived about four in the afternoon. I think it was a few months before he died of yet another heart attack… my theory was he was staying at a hotel nearby while performing his last shows at the Warner but I never researched any of this so maybe I made it all up. I know I already wrote this on this board but am writing it again as a way to remember it.

I think Carlin saw and understood the US as it really is as opposed to how we are socialized, conditioned and, frankly, brainwashed into seeing it…as opposed to how we want - no - need to see it to not go insane….because this place is a little crazy. We want to believe we matter and our life has purpose and hope

Here's a bunch of ideas. None really resonate, though I do like the idea of the glass top coffee table (or possibly the lamp). The slightly disorganized display makes it seem a bit like a treasure hunt, while the "front and faced" look of a poster has less visual interest.

This is an honest question.  I've been lucky enough to have health insurance through my employers, and even when I was self employed.  I understand not everyone has that ability.  I agree the cost of medical procedures and medicines are ridiculous in this country. But isn't Obamacare available for people who need medical coverage and it is available at a fairly affordable fee?  Is there still a huge deductible that needs to be paid?  Just wondering how people get stuck with these high medical expenses.

obamacare is good if you are under 50K a year in income, but the plans you get are not great
while it covers stuff, there are tons of things they don't cover
and the plans do have a high deductible and typically only offer % of the medical procedure

so even with it...you may not have a $100k bill, but still could be on the hook for $20k after something like major surgery/hospital stay

Plus you still have to sign up for it...there are millions who don't even do that

I've got decent insurance and dental...having a tooth extracted, post and new crown...going to cost me close to $6k out of pocket!

I can't believe we allowed the GQP to convince Americans that universal/single payer health care would be the death of society
instead we got a system that still is a giant windfall for Insurance companies and pharma...but most Americans are getting crushed by heathcare costs

I don't quite understand the calls to boycott groceries as wouldn't the only way that would be effective is for the stores banding together and stop stocking that item?  Because presumably by the time it hits the shelves the company would have been paid and they only entity one is hurting by not buying a product would be the store.  But, I'm no armchair expert on consumer goods, so I'm probably talking out my ass on this one...

old racist goes to a plantation called Monticello and gets told there were slaves there, goes on Faux News to complain of 'wokeism' on the part of the staff of Monticello... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

wait until he visits Mount Vernon...

and i feel sorry for the Monticello social media team, having to deal with well more racists...

Those are the prices I am hearing as well.  I've seen him probably close to 100 times since 1980.  The last tour I saw him was probably some of the best shows I've seen.  I don't think he'll top those shows.  I usually went through the hassle of getting pit tickets (standing in line for wristband/number; waiting hours for them to pull number from hat to see if you make it in pit, than waiting hours in pit for show to start). Those tickets were about $150.  That is my limit. If the Space method works as we get to showtime, then I'll grab a ticket, but not for $300+ for mediocre-decent seats.

There are way too many good shows for $30 out there to see.

not sure I agree
is your argument that people like bruce used to make boatloads of $$ from album sales and raido airplay and they are replacing that revenue stream with crazy high ticket prices?
Other than the big superstars (which bruce is somewhat a member, but I don't think he's really sold any albums since the early 90s) don't bands make most money off tours?

I have to imagine the payday for these shows is gotta be way more than it used to be
when every ticket in the venue of 40k was $40 conceivably the artist could make $250-500k for a stadium sell out
Now they must easily make 1 million per show at these prices....or are most artist now plaing to 2/3rd full arenas, but still taking home $750k a show?
So I think a 30 date US tour probably dwarfs what they were making in album sales and radio royalties 

lets be clear, part of this is because the secondary market showed artist that most of their fans would pay $200+ for mediocre seats
so lets cut out the middle man
They would not charge these prices if people were not paying them (although I'm still a little shocked about Roxy music, I see that getting anthem'ed as I can't imagen more than 4k people wanting to see that show)

I have no actualy data to back this up...

It’s rare that an act prices me out but I feel that just happened with Pavement …it’s not that I can’t afford it but that it begins to seem obscene… when I am used to paying x and you want 4X for a similar or worse experience I just can’t do it

I think it’s a lame move by Bruce and his minions … salaries are not keeping up with inflation so when you double prices it’s pretty tone deaf

I get the argument that he doesn’t play arenas that often anymore and there will be a second N. America leg that will hit stadiums

And also Bruce ain’t getting any younger but the guy just sold his music rights for like $500 million so it’s not as if he is hurting for money

It’s just jarring cause of all the BS bs about him being a man of the people etc

Strides in Psychedelic Science
We are proud to announce a new clinical trial at the CPCR for individuals with Post-Treatment Lyme Disease (PTLD). PTLD is a condition in which the symptoms of Lyme Disease remain for more than 6 months after treatment, and our study will test whether psilocybin is safe and helpful for improving fatigue, pain, mood, and quality of life in people with PTLD. This study is led by Dr. Albert Garcia-Romeu of the CPCR, in collaboration with Drs. John Aucott and Mark Soloski at the Johns Hopkins Lyme Disease Research Center. Stay tuned for more on this.

This might be the biggest pile of horseshit ever…

I just got a speeding ticket in the mail…from Germany. Apparently, I was caught going 56 in a 50. Which is the equivalent of going 34.8 mph in a 31.1 mph zone.

I can either pay it with a bank transfer, cash in Euros in the mail, or credit card (but I have to mail them my credit card number and security code, there is no online payment.)

The address to mail it to is in a city named “Bad Tolz.”

thankfully we don't have a royal family thread.

But I did find this kind of facinating

“It is little known by the British people that the blood of Mohammed flows in the veins of the queen."

So reads a letter - https://www.upi.com/.../MOSLEMS-IN.../4199529300800/ - written by genealogist Harold B. Brooks-Baker to Margaret Thatcher in 1986. Brooks-Baker was the publishing director of Burke's Peerage, Britain's leading genealogical guide to the Royal Family, who claimed—very plausibly—that the Queen was a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad by way of his daughter Fatima and her son, Hasan ibn Ali. This graphic (courtesy of The Times and The Sunday Times) details the lineage. The link was Zaida of Seville, a Muslim princess who converted to Christianity and became the concubine (and later the wife, possibly) of King Alfonso VI of Castile.

Eleven schools in Buenos Aires capital district shut down today by students with demands. This is what allowing politics into schools can end up in.

You figure out the connection….

I can only think of one good reason for student walkouts to protest: school safety. Do we want kids in red states walking out of schools to protest integrated classes? Where does it end? It’s ok to walk out when I agree with what you are protesting but not ok when I don’t? What about the kids who don’t walk out? Do they lose a day of school cause those walking out will invariably have to be taught what they missed? Do teachers have to adjust the planned lessons? If kids want to make a difference in politics there are ways to do this outside the classroom.

Schools and students  need to focus on learning not politics.

My issue is the approval of the school and sending out a 'opt in' email.  So the school is saying they approve.  Somewhat different than the Argentine situation (I put on google translate and felt I wasn't understanding what the problem was) as it appears this is student led?

I 100% think kids (and adults) should feel free to protest (and suffer the consequences of protesting ...which isn't a big deal in the US, unlike other parts of the world where you might just disappear. I really hope it stays like that in the US)
I think the school sanctioning it...mostly because the admin is aligned with the intent, but not in line with the governor (I still can't believe dems could only come up with Terry macNcheese)
but I'm sure in Grundy VA, the local police force was brought in to beat down the sissy sycophants

and yes, if there was a student walkout that demanded that the school have a morning prayer or separate drinking fountains for the POC students....and the school administration was like "sure, go for it and you won't get in trouble for cutting class"
I would be losing it

Hence why I pointed it out.


But I do think Koz is off, as hutch didn't say that students shouldn't have opinions
well I guess I disagree with his last line, students can learn, but also have opinions AND political stances

Basically that isn’t at all what I said. Of course they can have opinions but walking out of school is not the way to express them. Volunteer for a political cause or campaign, attend a political rally outside of school hours, put up a lemonade stand to raise money for candidates that agree with your position, get your parents to political canvass with you, etc. By the way all much more useful and difficult than simply walking out of school.

and i'm sure the find something new to complain about every day crowd is losing their minds over this event taking place and LOC were clearly anticipating backlash by mentioning this

" For those concerned about the flute: Music Division curators made sure it could be played without damage. This sort of thing is not all that unusual, in fact. Some of the Library's priceless instruments were donated with the stipulation that they remain functional & be played."

yeah, read that the curator was impressed a lizzo actually knew quite a bit about different flutes and how to flaut them
although no comment on that outfit she wore

I can only hope I get such positive feedback when I post video of me playing my trombone in my underwear on Facebook.

This should go into the $pace thread (is there one)... but does anyone recall a website where you can put in your departure City and the output will be multiple different options based on your criteria...

For example, you could put in a 5 day trip, only domestic/international, non stop flights, blah blah... and it will give you multiple options?

I remember using this site pre pandemic but can't track it down.

No... this is a search engine for if you don't know where you want to go or you're open to suggestions.

For example, my partner and I pre covid when we were supposed to go to Portugul put in a search such as this.

*Only non stop flights
*6 hours or less from any DC airport
*Certain weather
*etc

This then spit out a handful of cities/locations that met that criteria from your departure destination.

A wave of telemedicine startups hit TikTok and Instagram with advertisements suggesting that people should look into ADHD medication if they felt distracted.
Some startups diagnosed people with ADHD and prescribed stimulants after 30-minute video calls — entirely remotely, and much faster than a typical diagnosis from an in-person psychiatrist, the Wall Street Journal reports.

I play all my CDs with a USB drive through my MacBook and Steinberg UR22 interface that doubles as a DAC. Works and sounds great.

depends on how much that bedtime-until-3am sleep is worth to you.  can your family pull an all-nighter?  if you don't have a hotel, would hanging out in restaurants/bars/parks all night work for you?

if i doesn't, perhaps make a compromise and get the cheapest room you can find near the airport.  being nearby would buy you a little extra sleep in the morning...


if i was on my own, i'd absolutely consider skipping the hotel and spending the money on a night on the town, and then plan to sleep in-flight (i fall asleep very easily on planes).  my circadian rhythm is going to be messed up when i get home anyways, why not throw it for a proper loop? ;D

if i have my (younger) kids with me, a hotel and a few hours of quality sleep are the only option.  otherwise we'd be that family with those kids on the flight.

Is jetlag a thing when you're flying from Europe to America?

If we stay up, we'll be without a bed to sleep in for about 38 hours until we are home, depending on how late we sleep the previous morning. Unless you count the second, longer flight as a bed to sleep in. My wife can fall asleep anywhere anytime, me and the kid not so much. But we fly back on a Friday, so have the whole weekend to recover.

Many of those wearing masks recently had COVID, and while no longer testing positive, are still within the 10-day window of the CDC guidance.

Some are people with high risk factors or simply people who are COVID-averse.

The others are lizard people who are trying to hide their true identities. If you spot any of these, you should rip their mask off and run away cackling about how you've exposed their infiltration of the planet, and how they'll never succeed.

In fact, Apple basically “improves” every new model by adding another camera to the back. Much like razor companies release a new razor by adding a new blade."


yeah, try firing up an iPhone 1 and see how far you get nowadays.  it can't even run the operating system anymore due to lack of EVERYTHING (computational power, chips, hardware features, screen size, etc etc etc).  the iphone 6 can't run the latest version of iOS.  early iphones didn't have airdrop, gps, applepay, photo editing, etc... but do go on about how they're the same except for an extra camera ;D

the author's "culture is stuck" shtick only makes sense if you limit your view to what little he's thrown in his hand-picked tech salad.  for every "this hasn't changed since 2002" technology, one could counter with 10 techs that didn't exist then that we are dependent on now.  even the techs they point out have radically changed to the point that they are almost different technologies (see example above).

canada: just like the nordic countries, there's something about 6 months of snow and cold that bring out the doom and gloom.

australia: i got nothing... maybe it's the oppression of knowing melanoma is never more than a few minutes away?  constant fear of those super-muscly kangaroos?

Is that Iceland next to Greenland?

affirmative. 

also what are those red islands above Norway!

Svalbard is a Norwegian archipelago between mainland Norway and the North Pole. One of the world’s northernmost inhabited areas, it's known for its rugged, remote terrain of glaciers and frozen tundra sheltering polar bears, Svalbard reindeer and Arctic foxes.

since it's part of norway, where death metal reigns supreme, i think Svalbard gets lumped in with the rest of the country.  no idea if it keeps pace with the southern part of norway in terms of metal band output.

in high school i was in with the skater/punk/music scene.  seems like everyone was in a band.  most popular styles were rock/blues and attempts at grunge/"alternative", but there certainly were a few metal band banging away in garages... so it makes me wonder what the criteria was for that map.  does the band need a contract with a major label?  must have sold X number of album? or is more "do they self-identify as a metal band, even if their peak was playing to 14 people in a community center"?

for your consideration, a partial list of canadian metal bands that you might have heard of:
- Anvil
- Helix
- Kick Axe
- Killer Dwarfs
- Priestess
- Steppenwolf (partially canuck)

and a band you probably haven't heard of, but should: Raggadeath (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnZ7j_VHfTY), which "fused heavy metal with dancehall reggae-style rhythms and vocals."  some of their stuff sounded like RATM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yoiNCPhwl0).

the disco ball drum set from their video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeknS5efTJI) for "follow your heart" was SO kickass.  left an impression on me.

Evangelical Leaders Announce J.K. Rowling Finally Bigoted Enough That It’s Okay For Kids To Read About Witchcraft

https://www.theonion.com/evangelical-leaders-announce-j-k-rowling-finally-bigot-1850129128

“While I always appreciated Ms. Rowling making the greedy banker goblins a thinly veiled stand-in for the Jews, it is only with her assertions that trans women aren’t women that I’ve finally come around to allowing children to read her books,” said evangelist and Focus on the Family president Jim Daly, explaining that while he still did not approve of the satanic imagery embedded throughout the Harry Potter series, Rowling’s consistent dehumanization of people who are different from her had prompted him to reconsider.

I'm trying to figure out who sent it to me. Probably not Julian, he sends porn.

Best bets are my mom (who would have seriously sent it to me), or my brother (who would have sent it as a joke.)

Does this have anything to do with the Jesus Super Bowl ads? In that case, it's probably my brother.

I went to a show about a month ago at Runaway.
Two floors, but the music doesn't really reach upstairs, so kind of reverse Velvet Lounge.
They're trying to be a brunch/coffee spot along with a bar, so here's hoping that works for them.
I watched a friend's band from the stairwell, and from there the vocals were a little washed out.
Nice vibe though and there's a back patio so that's quaint. 
Easy access on that evening (a Saturday night) with lots of parking and from where I live, about a 20 min. drive.
Probably going to see another friend towards the end of the month, a Thursday, so we'll see what the neighborhood is like then.

Five out of the seven *women* who are 40+ have kids.

I can find almost any large-ish city enjoyable for a weekend. I have extolled the praises of Oklahoma City, Boise, even Cleveland. But Charlotte is possibly the worst “city” I’ve ever been to. There’s nothing there. It’s the anti-Asheville. Asheville is all personality and fun and Charlotte is the kind of place where they find avocados exotic still.

When I was a kid in the 70's, I used to go visit my grandparents, who lived in a trailer on the side of the mountain in Candler, outside of Asheville. I'm not sure if we ever even went into Asheville. Maybe a flea market or something. They later moved their trailer to Greer, SC, outside of Greenville, SC (home of Bob Jones University.) We would go into Greenville. Cute downtown, but filled with easily identifiable conservative Christians. Then we would drive up to Asheville, and it was a dump (then) filled with freaks. Of course, it's no longer the dump it once was.

Once did a drive through of downtown Charlotte, and saw no reason to get out of the car.

Court documents show that Fazi would post messages on Facebook pages dedicated to reptiles, offering turtles for sale. He would respond dismissively when others told him that what he was doing was illegal.

“I know all about the laws and would be stupid to not research first,” he wrote in one post.

Oh shit, they're going Coke Freestyle...

The new sauces follow another Heinz release, the Heinz Remix, a customizable sauce dispenser.

The Heinz Remix lets you choose from 200 sauce combinations to make a custom sauce creation. Users can select from a touch screen a range of sauce “bases,” such as Heinz Ketchup, Heinz 57, Ranch and BBQ sauces. They then add specially developed sauce “enhancers” such as jalapeño, smoky chipotle, buffalo, and mango – at low, medium, or high settings – to further personalize their sauce.

The company's goal is to begin deploying Heinz Remix machines in test markets later this year and early 2024 with movie theaters, baseball stadiums, and restaurants among target locations.


If only Heinz would reformulate their mustard. It sucks but it's often the only choice in places that have their ketchup.

Pokemon cards help tie suspect to series of explosions in Md. neighborhood (https://wtop.com/maryland/2023/06/pokemon-cards-help-tie-suspect-to-series-of-explosions-in-md-neighborhood/)

Authorities in Maryland have charged a man following a series of explosions over the last several weeks in Aberdeen — and they say his collection of Pokemon cards helped connect him to the blasts.

Jeremiah E. Burnette, 34, of Aberdeen, faces charges of possessing and using explosive devices, following a joint investigation by the Office of the Maryland State Fire Marshal, Aberdeen Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.



If you're gonna be playing with explosives, Aberdeen is a pretty good place to do it.

If you do it with any regularity, you know the windows to go and you're fine 98% of the time.

Very excited to see if the HOV expansion that opens tomorrow for those 10 additional miles down to Fredericksburg changes the game. I wish it was to south Fredericksburg vs North (MM126 vs 133) but I'll take it.

I hate that stretch of road between Springfield and Stafford.  Can't tell you how many times I got caught in a random mid-day or mid-weekend traffic jam

I occasionally had to drive down to Stafford from Arlington in the mornings...which was great as there was no traffic
but I'd look on the northbound and the traffic the other way was easily 25 miles long and not moving at 9AM, I just don't know how people can live like that


I often will just take Rt 1 even if it's longer because I hate sitting on 95 that much

If you do it with any regularity, you know the windows to go and you're fine 98% of the time.

I mean, anything I share isn't going to help you who would ostensibly be going to the other direction from what I am. The HOV schedule facilitates people going northbound in the morning and southbound in the afternoon/evening. You're in the opposite scenario from me?

Oh yeah I use HOV every time. Money is always the solution.

The trick going southbound if the traffic looks backed up around where the HOV lets off around stafford is take the last local exit and take your second left onto Mine Road and follow that for ten minutes to where it lets you get back on around 136.

Of course with the expansion opening tomorrow that equation will change. Will be interesting to see if it lets off on the thru lanes of 95 or local or if we have an option and what the play is because 133 to 126 can be a mess historically so figuring the code of how best to traverse those 7 miles in rush hour is the move. I don’t think it’ll be route 1 with the bridge in Fredericksburg and all the lights thru downtown.

I don’t even get the joke.

I will say this and only this: I get the whole need to simplify things and say IMP is bad for taking a cut from merch while supposedly-now- Live Nation doesn’t….but you have to look at the totality of the picture. From a patron perspective there just isn’t any doubt IMP is better…things like not allowing dynamic pricing, giving back to our community in numerous ways, Friends with benefits, and on and on.

From a musical act perspective I really can’t speak but as a concertgoer I have talked to plenty of musical acts who swear by the way the 930 and IMP treats them… I have never heard an act do the same for Live Nation. Acts love to play the 930. From GBV to the Dandy Warhols to Tweedy they look at playing the 930 and IMP venues as something to be proud of and they will tell you that. They look forward to it.

Of course IMP can’t get complacent but in my experience of 30 years going to concerts in DC there is just no comparison. It’s way too facile to say otherwise. And frankly it’s a bit lame to come on here and see all these posts taking the piss. Doesn’t make me want to hang out here.

I don’t even get the joke.
gonna be honest...it's the internet meme du jour and I don't get it either

Edit...two internet memes as a ref to Brook's airport lunch too

I'm just having fun with an inside baseball joke here

also, I'm going on record that I don't think it's insane that they take a cut
maybe it could be less, but people are drinking less, so there is a source of income that is drying up
maybe a sliding scale for smaller bands (they are already paying them a lot less than the bigger acts)

I think Live Nation is taking their pound of flesh from merch too, but not sure.
that $1500 stipend thing is just crap and everyone knows it

I mean, $1,500 for say 200 shows per year is $300K. That's not chump change, but I'd also hope that wouldn't bankrupt a venue either...

but the folly is that's not coming from the bottom line, I'm sure the band will lose revenue in other places and the customers will pick up the fees

all they do is need to add a $1 per ticket line item "for bands food and travel costs" most people wouldn't care a bit
LN is not taking this money out of their profits...

i was going to post something about this in the ukraine/russia/WW3 thread, asking if we needed to add israel/palestine to the thread title...

the news of the massacre at the music festival hit very close to home for me given that it was a psytrance festival.  i've been into the psytrance scene for over 25 years, i've attended parties/festivals all over the world including israel.  i'm aware that this is going to sound trite/hokey/etc., but i can't imagine a happier, more peaceful place than a psytrance festie.  to think that it was transformed into a hellscape of rape and torture is just devastating for me.  i'm still connected to the NYC psytrance scene, and there was a huge panic when news of the massacre broke.  appears that no one that i know was killed or kidnapped.  yay.

I had company all weekend, so my mind was on other things. The world is so fucked up that I just want to go to beer festivals and hikes in the woods and not thing about how fucked up it is. We did watch Bill Maher, and I thought the show did a good job of discussing it.

I don't pretend to understand anything about the Middle East, but my heart goes out to the people of Israel. Also, religions suck. Especially the ones that inspire hatred.

Also, I guess this means my daughter will probably stop asking me when are we going to take a vacation to Israel. At least for now.

If this has happened anywhere else in the world pretty sure I would have seen some posts. People expressing sorrow…concern…anything

But I didn’t post anything either…

On a per capita basis what happened to Israel is the equivalent of if on September 11th the United States had lost 370,000 people. Maybe people can’t process the scope.

But it’s odd that when the Paris attacks happened there was quite a reaction around these parts and here….nothing.

On the other hand maybe it’s because the scale is so much bigger here we are shocked and just don’t know what to say.

Maybe we expect terrorism in Israel?

It’s weird…even in my own house I don’t talk about it much with Tiffiny. I have a much more pro Israel position than her so we find it better not to talk about it. I wouldn’t say she is not pro Israel just that she is a lot more concerned about the Palestinians. I think the Palestinians in Gaza have the government they want. I don’t believe Hamas are dictators ruling Gaza against the will of the people.

Well, I do think this is more complicated
Hamas was given tons of money from Iran, so they could do things like run the gov't, build schools/hospitals and feed the people...how could you not support a regime that was helping like that? 

I think most are just trying to get by without dying

If Hamas didn't get so much external funding, I think things would be different

What I don't think should be done is turn Gaza into a pile of rubble

It probably wasn't mentioned...

1. as it's pretty much on par for that part of the world to have attacks, bombings, deaths, etc. (think school shootings in the US)
2. It's a sensitive topic that I'm assuming jews on this board could easily be offended by potential opinions
3. No matter how fucked up the terrorist attack was on Israel, there is no way in hell a Gaza (population approximately two million people, with 50% basically kids) should be erradicated from the map. To me, this is no different than being anti war during Afghanistan or Iraq. Why does Israel have the right to ruin an entire country due to a terrorist attack?
4. Do you not have a heart for dozens of videos of babes and children limbless, blown to bits, etc!!! Once again, not anti Israel or saying what happened to israel last week wasn't completely fucked up.

Well I wasn’t against targeting al qaeda in Afghanistan. I was against the “war”. I was against war in the case of Iraq.

It’s above my pay grade to say Israel should do this or that….. But I believe their number one job -and by that I mean the job of their government- is to keep their people safe.

There are no easy answers unfortunately.

Israel is surrounded by people who hate them, wish to destroy them and present an existential threat to their survival, talk up the plight of the Palestinians but do nothing for them AND as if that wasn’t enough carry the legacy of the Holocaust where millions of Jews - sometimes thought of as having been too passive- where killed while almost the entirety of the world at best looked away and at worse knowingly acquiesced. You better believe all of that is going to impact their decision making. And you better believe the calculus is going to be a bit different than that of the US with respect to a terrorist act originated thousands of miles away.

Am not sure why you would say this to me? If I was ill tempered I might say it’s very rude of you.

I was standing up for the rights of the Palestinians when you were probably just out of diapers….I have always supported the Palestinians but that does not extend to terrorists and I also believe one has to ask why they always resort to terrorism and focus so little on making the best of their opportunities. I cannot say the Palestinians are completely without responsibility for their political representatives being terrorists be it the PLO, Hamas or whoever.

I would be very wary of citing statistics…. You should cite your source and define what age range you are using to define children. Otherwise as far as I am concerned it’s just propaganda.

It’s always striking how Israel must play by the rules but the Palestinians do not. It’s just too simplistic to say Hamas is separate from the Palestinians.

Yeah, my outlook evolved as my experience grew. If you don’t learn you die.

I think two events, combined with personal issues, began to change my outlook.

1. The failed Palestinian-Israel peace talks in 2000. I still can’t believe the Palestinians turned down the agreement. It made me think their leadership isn’t interested in peace or a two state solution.

2. 9-11.

As far as personal, my father (RIP) was an anti-Semite who married a Jewish woman who converted to Catholicism. My mother being from a Jewish family was never really mentioned.  It took a while to form my own personal opinions about the conflict and surely as I grew to know more about the side of my family made up of Lithuanian and polish Jews it had an impact on me.

Still I wouldn’t say I ever stopped supporting the idea of a Palestinian state.

I doubt there is a fact you could teach me. You are way out of your depth here…no matter how many videos you watch.

I'm going to be the stats geek here and say that the US population in 2001 was 280 million, which is about 30 times the current Israel population. I heard that 1400 Israeils died in the Multiply that by 30, and you get 42,000. Not 370,000. I'm not trying to diminish the gravity of what you're saying, just getting the numbers right.

speaking of propaganda: the "OMG israel bombed a gazan hospital and killed over 500 people!!!" narrative has fallen apart.  instead of an israeli 1000-pound bomb hitting the hospital lobby, turns out it was a hamas homemade missile that misfired and hit the parking lot.  some poor bystanders were killed, but no where near 500.  a number of folks and news agencies seized on this supposed israeli war crime and made all sorts of righteous claims, demanded ICC warrants, etc... turns out they fell for fake news.

I'm not doubting what you are saying but can you please link to the news reports that set the rect straight?

As far as surge pricing on beer….
I notice beer lines on third floor at Anthem can be much shorter than on Floor or second floor. I wonder if fluctuating beer prices would help more evenly spread out demand.


It’s probably too convoluted and not worth it.

It’s not about making more money -in this case- but helping people by balancing beer lines. We try to encourage people to go up to 3 but it’s not easy….

Wait times to buy anything in an entertainment venue are expected. Unpredictable pricing is not. People want to know ahead of time how much they're going to shell out. Surge pricing doesn't allow that.

They should have screens posted around with line length at the bars, like they do in parking lots.
However if on the first floor and see there is no line on 3rd floor, by the time you get there, there could be a long line

You can’t really tear down an arena of that size and rebuild a new one in a 3 month off season. Arena projects are generally multi-year constructions.

BIG EDIT TO STORY

Following news of the announcement, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser released details Tuesday night of the city’s “best and final offer” to keep the Wizards and Capitals in Capital One Arena in Chinatown. Bowser and D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson unveiled legislation that would put $500 million in city funding toward the renovation and modernization of Capital One Arena.

Personally, I think the taxpayers should say fuck that shit
why should we fiund 500 million for someone else to make the profits

To bring jobs and tax revenue… will it come close to 500m in 10-20 years?
I’m sure there’s some tax deal they got to

these big stadiums are  such a big boondoggle for cities with all the history shit deals. Why would cities would even do it with that knowledge

(although as I say that the Virginia taxpayers are considering taking this deal on, so I will be opposed to that too, make the Marilyn tax base pay for it)

That’s one way of looking at it…..

I think Abe Pollin moving the Capitals and Wizards to DC worked out in DC’s favor…..

Now you may say that’s cause he shouldered the financial load but can you put a price on what that move meant to DC? I mean let’s say what if Pollin had asked for money….I think it’s pretty clear it would have been worth it (forget that DC was broke then)

And you may say that DC should not invest a dime in keeping the teams….but do you know where that dime goes? Are you assuming if DC “saves” this money it does something worthwhile with it? Cause I got news for you: DC government is a black hole of waste.

More, I always found the deal between DC and Major League Baseball egregious but do you remember what that area used to be like? Have you been there recently?

I think it’s a lot more complicated than oh the evil billionaire team owners just take the poor peoples money…fuck the rich

That’s a lot to unpack

But since ‘most of’ doesn’t kill you in a short period of time and it’s hard to show a direct line to things that do end up causing your body real harm …

 it is really hard to regulate the snake oil industry that includes both the vitamin AND things like homeopathy (and all the other alternative health industrial complex)

Thing is that some of the supplements/vitamins and ‘alternative’ treatments actually DO work, the issue is that there is no one size fits all and so many complex factors that goes into the health of a human…
The problem lies in that people want to remove all the environmental and mental parts that are such a critical factor in health and just pop a pill and be done with it

You want to be healthy, but the thought of taking the effort to actually lead a healthy lifestyle is the issue….

That people with disposable income are healthier is no surprise

We give trillions to any other country on the planet . . . but 10 years after lead poisoning, Flint Michigan residents still haven't seen a penny from $626.25 Million legal settlement.

Gee, I wonder why that is?

According to Google:

"Israel has received hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. foreign aid in the post–World War II era"

"the United States obligated nearly $78.3 billion to Pakistan between 1948 and 2016"

"U.S. Congress have directed about $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine"

My question was, if we have the funds for other countries, why haven't we paid to help the residents of Flint Hill in our country? Is that a difficult question for you?

I don't know. But you said trillions to individual countries, and it's obviously billions. And in the cases you mentioned, less than 100 billion, which is 10% of or less than 10% of your original claim.

I'm not an expert on the case but it appears that the lawsuit wasn't filed against the Federal Government, so why would we expect the federal government to pay the settlement?

Do you think Trump will ever pay the 400 billion penalty her was just levied?


On November 10, 2021, Judge Judith E. Levy of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan granted final approval of a landmark $626.25 million settlement resulting from the class action and individual lawsuits brought on behalf of more than 90,000 Flint residents and businesses against multiple governmental defendants, including the State of Michigan, Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), and individual defendants, including former Governor Rick Snyder, for their roles in re-directing toxic levels of contaminated water from the Flint River into the City’s drinking water in an effort to save money and their subsequent efforts to try to cover up the crisis.

Who needs to be paying the Flint settlement money and why aren't they paying?

The final settlement wasn't determined until 2023, and it's the State of Michigan that owes the money, not the US government. Facts matter.

i'm with space on this one.

numbers: if you're going to exaggerate in the name of sensationalism, don't complain when you're called out for sensationalism and exaggeration. if you want others to focus on your main point, don't hide it under false and distracting embellishments.

as space pointed out, it's apples and oranges.  funding for foreign countries has nothing to do with the flint settlement, since the latter isn't against the federal government.  smells of false outrage.

more generally, we can in fact walk and chew gum.  money for infrastructure and foreign support comes from different and unrelated budgets.  cutting a dollar from from aid to <insert country here> will not result in an additional dollar for cleaning up flint, so why make the false association?  politically expediency, methinks: everyone can get behind opposing the injustice in flint.  if you are an anti-globalist/america first/etc, why not latch your wagon to this be damned the lack of actual association?

and finally, those in need of help (and their advocates) shouldn't be kicking others in need of help.  why does one never hear, as part of a "hey what about keeping that money here at home" argument, the idea of taxing corporations that don't pay any tax?  or the billionaires who pay a lower tax rate than teachers?  what about cutting the salary of politicians and use those funds on their constituents?

lol what? literally everyone is always saying this. we just dont' have any politicians that care to do anything about it.

But BMJ's sensationalism aside, we should not be paying Israel to do a genocide, or fund a proxy war in Ukraine, or hell, pay our own military to do war crimes and buy military grade weaponry for cops to murder black and brown citizens, but we should just fix Flint and every other city's poison water supply and house and fed everyone instead.

I do believe we can walk (do good) and chew gum (stop doing evil) at the same time.

agree with all of the above with the exception of the "proxy" war in ukraine - which it isn't.  if you don't care about the fate of a democracy and the rape/torture/murder of its 44M people, please spare a thought for the US soldiers that will be sent to defend NATO allies when the russians turn their attention to the baltics and/or poland.  the choice is funding ukraine to do the fighting for us; or do nothing now and later do both the funding and the fighting.

The Ukraine taking on Russia -even with our help- is not realistic. They cannot win. And we cannot full on engage Russia.

Let’s be realistic. The best one can hope for is to stiffen Ukraine’s position and then negotiate.

Kissinger called this a few weeks after war broke out.

The idea that if Russia gets the eastern part of Ukraine they will then invade the baltics or Poland is just supposition by those that want to argue that either we stand up in the Ukraine or Russia will take over Europe. And the usual warmongers and military industrial complex of course.

Ukraine cannot win and ignoring its in Russia’s sphere of influence, its history, the Russian speaking population in Ukraine etc does nobody any favors.


Also, the war can go on but when a Republican is elected not necessarily now , they will back out of helping Ukraine so the best option is to improve Ukraine’s position and negotiate quickly. It’s inevitable

Let’s be realistic. The best one can hope for is to stiffen Ukraine’s position and then negotiate.

as one who follows the war on a daily basis, i do not share this assessment.  things aren't going ukraine's way, currently, due to lack of weapons.  once that gets sorted out, we'll be back to where the ukrainians are on an approximately even footing.  ukraine has attempted three large-scale offensives and the first two were successful (kharkiv and kherson).  the third one yielded meager results and then sputtered out.  but based on one of three we're saying they can't win?

neither russia's full-on psyops to reduce western interest in the ukraine war, nor the inevitable fatigue with something that has dragged on for over 2 years, changes what is actually possible.

Kissinger called this a few weeks after war broke out.

kissinger called for negotiations that included russians retreating to its pre-invasion lines, and negotiations on crimea that should lead to some sort of "third status", shared authority, international monitors, etc.  that's entirely different than the "negotiations" (AKA surrender) being called for by some today, so invoking some geriatric warmonger's past opinion isn't holding much weight here, IMO. 

The idea that if Russia gets the eastern part of Ukraine they will then invade the baltics or Poland is just supposition by those that want to argue that either we stand up in the Ukraine or Russia will take over Europe.

actually, it's what the russians are saying themselves (russians aren't very good at not saying the quiet part out loud).  to be fair, russia is pulling a russia on this by saying both things to muddy the waters: putin has officially declared "no more invasions" (just like he said "we will not invade ukraine" in early Feb'22), while statements from many other political & military leaders and leaked documents attest to their real desire to seize the baltics and poland.  there are long-standing strategic reasons why russia needs to plugs the gaps that are those two regions, i'll spare you here but lemme know if you want links to read more about it.

but what about NATO?  russia is bankxing on the fact that article 5 won't be respected/enforced, something that the west has given russia plenty of reason to believe would be true.  if trump is re-elected in november, you can be assured that putin will be given the green light.

Ukraine cannot win and ignoring its in Russia’s sphere of influence, its history, the Russian speaking population in Ukraine etc does nobody any favors.

that is the defeatist attitude of someone with the luxury of being on the sidelines.  "hey, you're being raped, might as well not fight and limit the damage.  if you play your cards right, maybe you can keep your purse.  also, please stop screaming, it's hurting my ears".

the reason why there are so many russian-speakers in ukraine is because the ukrainian speakers were deported en masse to siberia under the soviets, and ethnics russians were imported by the millions and given the resources of the deported ukrainians.  this was done massively in the east (AKA donbas) due to the industrial and mineral wealth in the area.  those areas aren't natively russian - they were systematically stolen.  same with crimea, millions of tatars were deported and replaced with russians.  their so-called historic claim to those areas are null and void.

to bring it home to you, hutch: it's like saying the malvinas falklands are populated by english speakers, and the british have been there for a really long time, so argentina really should just stop whining and give up its claim to those meaningless islands.  kind of a shitty take, huh?

It’s inevitable
except that it's not.

final point:
The best one can hope for is to stiffen Ukraine’s position and then negotiate.

except that a negotiated settlement is not the best one can hope for.  part of the "logic" of negotiating is a misperceived calculus: "many ukrainians are dying, so if they negotiate a truce/surrender, it will save lives" - except it won't.

1) when russians move into a newly conquered territory, the first order of business is to purge.  anyone who served at any level of government or administration?  tortured for information then executed.  anyone who serves in the ukrainian armed forces?  executed, unless willing to switch allegiances to russia and will be immediately assigned to a meat-wave brigade (i.e., executed).  anyone who has publicly professed allegiance to ukraine, has "pro-ukrainian" tattoos, or even owns a ukrainian flag?  minimum is a torture session, at worse execution.  any thought leaders that aren't 100% pro-kremlin?  buh-bye.  artists and other free-thinkers?  you guessed it.  anyone not caught up in the purge can expect to suffer as they are categorized as second-class citizens and will have their possessions redistributed to the ethnic russians that are brought in to dilute/replace the (former) ukrainian population.  women should fear being gang raped.  parents should expect to have their children taken away and never seen again.  don't believe me?  ask the citizens of bucha, izyum, sloviansk, irpin, sumy, kherson, mariupol, melitopol, energodar... literally any other place the russians surged into.  mo' russians = mo' death.  so, might as well fight. 

2) any "peace" will be temporary.  russia will use any peace time to re-arm, ramp up conscription, and otherwise strengthen its military to go back on the offensive.  ask the chechens how that peace treaty worked out for them.  putin respects treaties as long and only as long as it is advantageous for him, so he isn't a good faith negotiator.
