Thursday Night Overnight Open Thread (9/15/16) [Mis. Hum.]
Europe is being hit with a "terrorism tax".
Although Europe has suffered terrorism before, this time it's different. Instead of big and relatively infrequent terrorist attacks, these new attacks are small, numerous and geographically dispersed. This change is a big deal, because it makes it possible for terrorists to turn attacks into "a tax" that depresses economic activity by imposing new costs and changing economic behavior.
It seems that tourism has taken a nose dive. Europe was counting on tourism, terrorism frightens it away.
Will she make you a sammich? Will she bring you a cold one? Settled science? Really? Once again the science is not settled. When it comes to global warming, follow the money and the stupidity. Mighty tall corn fields there in urban America shading those 2+ floor tall buildings. Something tells the ONT that all of these professors and center directors haven't done jacksh!t in the private sector world. Call me old and cynical. I'm tired of politics and political parties. This is one political party I could get behind. I'm all in favor of economic growth. IYWIM. Earlier this summer our very own CBD addressed the "new" Panama Canal. Here's a time lapse journey through the canal. (NOTE: DO NOT COMMENT IN OLD THREADS)
The new Apple iPhone 7 is being released tomorrow.
As usual, Apple did not manufacture enough of them.
One of the big changes is no headphone jack. Is it a good development? Or a step backwards?
When we allow a company, or a cartel from an incumbent industry, to monopolize the things that can plug into products that we all use, to convert their commercial preferences to legal obligations, we shut down innovation, at the expense of all the people who stand to benefit from that innovation.
Samsung 7 has been in the news for it's recall. Samsung is now facing financial fallout.
The iPhone may or may not be advancing. However it appears that stem cell therapy is a making advances.
Kris Boesen was paralyzed from the neck down after an auto accident in March. After stem cell injections his recovery has been incredible.
Indeed, Kris can now do most everything with his hands and arms that someone without a spinal cord injury can do: brush his teeth, feed himself, write his name, text his girlfriend, and even lift weights, which is an important part of his physical therapy.
Paralympics underway in Brazil. Do you work with a psychopath? Spot the signs. Are you a psychopath? Are you ready to find out? We joke about "The Camps". Well, just in case you ever find yourself there, here are a few tips to help you adapt and get through. The top/bottom bunk issue is not addressed. And yes, this disappoints me as well. People who have faced death and lived to tell about it. They say the two best days in the life of a boat owner are the day you buy the boat and the day you sell the boat. You can avoid these days if you have a cool $17,000 lying about. You can purchase a drone instead of a boat. Typical homes around the world. Here are breakfasts around the world. Sorry, Kaboom isn't one of them. Will there be coffee to drink with your breakfast? For many of us, coffee is breakfast.
Since we are on a food tangent at the moment let's talk Spam.
He can give billions of dollars to Iran. But, he won't trust trucks over 68 MPH.
Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by introspection.
WARNING: This ONT may contain chemicals and opinions known to the Nanny State to cause cancer, birth defects, and toe nail fungus. So, you have been warned. As usual. All federal, state and local government agencies, as well as entities operating public water systems, are exempt.

Not just terrorism. Simply the more Islamification there is in a place, the less attractive for Western tourists.
Importing muslim slums into Belgium or Paris even without terrorism makes them less attractive places for tourism.
Tourism has been huge for Turkey but I have no doubt it will nosedive as Erdogan converts it into more of an Islamist country.

Here's a terrorism tax.
I read about a production of Hamlet in London starring Michael Sheen. I found a round-trip ticket LA/London for $300. I could have made the flight, holed up in a hostel near the theater for a night, and come back in three days. After taxes and fees in both LA and London, the flight was $1200, and I know why -- terrorism. Soooo, the theater, the restaurants, and the hostel or B&B I would have stayed in got one less customer.

And then I get a new co-worker we'll call "Matt." There were only 3 candidates that applied for the job, he was hired to teach some other people a lesson, he had some kind of disability, he was in constant legal trouble either being sued or suing others which made him difficult to fire and he was one of the most miserable bastards I've ever met.
He couldn't understand things quickly, would raise his voice in frustration, got in a physical fight with someone in tech support, sounded really shitty with clients many times and sat right next to me. One time, he came back from lunch. Something happened in his car and a guy at a light got out of his car, grabbed a crowbar and smashed his back window.
I'm not a confrontational person, don't really raise my voice, but we would actually be in our cubicle at the back of the building hollering at each other. E-mails would be sent to our upper managers "They're yelling again." but they never did anything.
One day Matt sat facing his computer in the corner. I picked up a large pair of scissors, pointed them at the base of his neck and questioningly looked at my manager, most joking, for permission to finally get the guy out of our lives. She laughed but secretly wanted me to do it.
One day, he took a long lunch and moved everything out of his apartment - that's how he left his relatively pretty, heavy-set, kind of poor self esteem wife.
He was miserable in the job. After many heart to heart talks, he came up with the idea, (okay - I was a large part of this) to reconcile with his wife and use her credit for further technical training. I'm not entirely proud of that, okay a little, but she took him back.
Finally, one day, he didn't come in. No messages. Two days passed. And then three days which is job abandonment. He had reformatted his computer before he left and we never heard from him again.
Thanks for the therapy session. I'm going to check out the quizzes and see which of us may have been the psychopath.

Big truck going exceedingly slow is nothing more than a rolling roadblock. That nice 4-lane freeway? It's now only 3 lanes, and two of them go the other way.
And then you have the Yellow van body, going 54.787 mph, and the J.R. England china top pulls out to pass him, going 54.962 mph. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is the calculate how many miles you sit, twiddling your thumbs, for that little drama to play out.

-----------------------
I have seen people in cars deliberately block a semi from getting back into the travel lane. They go slow enough to make the truck driver think he can pass. As soon as they get him in the passing lane, they speed up. If the truck slows down they slow down. This can go on for miles while traffic backs up behind the truck.
Of course, everyone blames the truck driver.

leads the world in the percentage of freight we move by rail and water
instead of trucks. We use our roads to move people. The "advanced"
Europeans spend millions moving half-empty passenger trains around and
let their roads get pounded to gravel by trucks.
Really? I didn't know that. Hmm. About us using trains for hauling so much freight that is.
But just imagine if Amazon opened up a distribution center right next to a terminus of a high-speed rail line.... oh boy imagine the instant shipping possibilities

They dream down the road then when something changes their perception, a truck passing, they unconsciously act, accelerate, to regain their reality.

reason I can see for high-speed rail. It is stupid to ship so much stuff
such long distances with trucks. Engines are inefficient, competes with
passenger-car traffic, their gas tax does not pay for the entirety of
the damage that trucks cause to the road (not to mention that the gas
taxes are misspent to begin with), etc..
Posted by: chemjeff at September 15, 2016 10:49 PM (gXKl3)
How do you get from the railhead to the where the shipping is needed? What about cost of breaking loads and transshipping?
Trains are good and nice and controllable and good for bulk like ore and wheat, but they are also not flexible. If you tried to do "just in time" stocking with a rail schedule someone is going to have to warehouse it all at an intermediary site, and then you have no reason to do "just in time" (scare quotes because it is never just in time. It is always never-quite-in-time unless you stockpile ahead)
And for goodness sake never send nursery stock by train, it will get side-tracked and it will all die.
And to be honest, the roads were built for trucking, not driving.
The thing is there is a need for highway choke points like cities and bridges to be built to top level loads and they are not. The cities hate streets and roads and never fund them where they need to be. Socialist cities are the freaking worst, too.
Because trains are so much better and control people much better.

That makes sense-to get to know them and then maybe they'll be a little more open to new ideas. I have to say that I am a believer in open communion. I think anyone who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ should be able to share in the Lord's Supper. I understand the rationale for people not accepting that, but it makes me sad too. I have been attending the Eastern Orthodox Church when I get a chance. I can't take it there either, but they have something I have never seen before. They place pieces of unconsecrated bread in a basket in the back of the line for communion, so that even if you can't partake you can still have the unconsecrated bread. I was very touched when several people in the congregation who know that I'm not Orthodox came and gave me some bread

Yes. Which is why I drive 70 far less than I do 80. We only take 80 to get to Utah to see our son. We only take 70 if we are going to Glenwood Springs, or Grand Junction. If we're not in hurry, we will take the mountain roads.
I loathe the freeways, actually. When we go to Denver, we take state highways, county roads and US 85. Almost as quick, and far less stressful.

Rails don't go to all the small towns, and as you'll note, there's not much in the way of FedEx or UPS rolling in the boxcars.
Rail is great for moving tens or hundreds of loads of product to various hubs, waypoints and distribution centers.
Three hundred gondolas of coal? Rail rules.
Van load of household furnishings and belongings going halfway across country? It'll get there faster by truck, point to point.
Every mode of transportation has it's strengths and weaknesses. Thing is, the USA has worked out those differences far better than just about anyplace else on earth. And that pisses off all the right people, which only adds shine to the apple.

And I've gotten a George V penny from the then-separate British colony of Newfoundland from 1943; 1947 Canadian penny; and 1943 Canadian dime. All three have the "ET IND. IMP." to go along with the "D.G. REX" as India was still a colony then.

I grew up Southern Baptist with a heavy reform streak and began mostly going to non-denominational churches around age 30. I have a bit of a charismatic streak, too.
Our church isn't huge but our pastor is a member of a well-known Christian music trio. I'm not a fan of the concert atmosphere during the musical portion of the service but the younger folks in my extended family love it. The preaching is solid so I can live with the music as long as my family is active in church.
I attended a charismatic Episcopal church in Dallas for about 5 years in the nineties. THAT was interesting

The LCMS church won't let you take communion? That sounds odd.
I attended two LCMS churches in Michigan and I would have been shocked if they'd denied you communion.
Those ELCA bastards however are another story.....

100 are clinical psychopaths. Of the male population in federal prison,
that number is about 25% they claim.
The top 10 professions where psychopaths gravitate are:
CEO -
Lawyers -
Media -
Salesmen -
Surgeon -
Journalists -
Police -
Clergy -
Chef -
Civil Servants -
That's what they say. Surgeons are interesting. Doctors tend to be
more empathetic, but the subset of surgeons tend to be more psycho. In fact,
a joke is the surgery gives a way for "it puts on the lotion" types to
make a productive use of their desires to cut people up.
Note
this is statistical and involves the fraction of psychopaths in that
line of work. It doesn't mean they all are, and in fact the absolute
ratio may be small, but just relatively greater than 1%.

And how do the winds and currents move in the Indian Ocean? Prevailing winds in the Northern Hemisphere are westerly. I'd expect them to be easterly in the Southern Hemisphere. And enough time has passed for floating debris to have drifted a thousand miles or more.
Not trying to pick a fight; just trying to point out that where floating debris washes ashore is not definitive as to where the debris first hit the ocean.

They don't abuse it
Never gonna lose it

Only made it out to Needles

Feels so good

times eleventy.
BUT.
There are times when I can literally sense the "click" of the switch, then all empathy dissipates, instantly.
The Machine kicks in.
Three times in my life, I've looked over the sights of a gun at a human being. One such, being my own brother. The other two were duty matters, inasmuch that I wore a badge in those days.
What I most remember about those circumstances, was the absolutely perfect, firm, fixed, non-wobbling sight picture I held on the subject, and the absolute clarity of mental processing as to whether they were obeying my verbal commands, or not.
Fortunately for them, they are did obey, and lived.
I far prefer being a whole, empathetic Human Being. But experience tells me I can go all Cyborg on some miscreant's ass too, in less than a moment's notice.
I'm okay with that.

Anti-social (psychopaths and sociopaths) fear getting caught and being revealed for what they truly are for everybody to see. They will stop at nothing and destroy theirown mothers and chldren to keep the mask up.
They have little to no fear in other areas because they see people as objects and as tools for their own personal use. Like toilet paper or a hammer.

Sociopaths and pyschopaths share a lot of traits. The differences are this. Socios are easily agitated, prone to fits of rage and all that. It's very hard for them to hold down a job.
Psychopaths are cold and calculating.
When sociopaths commit crimes, they will be haphazard and spontaneous.
Psychopaths will meticulously plan and execute their crimes.
For example, a sociopath might kill a girl in a spontaneous fit of rage because she said something that triggered him, or reminded him of his mother or something. He'll do it on the spot and won't be good at concealing evidence.
A psychopath will carefully plot the murder, be very careful to plan it to avoid being caught, and will execute it with cold precision.
Bundy was most likely a pyschopath, not a sociopath.

Castle is the candidate for the Constitution Party (their Nevada affiliate is the Independent American Party, who literally have their own armed militia).
Of note, neither McMullin or Stein will be on the Nevada ballot, and no write-ins allowed.
Aside from Hillary and Trump, the two minor parties with guarunteed ballot access are the Libertarians and the IAP, so Johnson and Castle will be on the ballot. Also on the Nevada ballot is "Rocky" de la Fuente, who ran in a bunch of Dem primaries, and of course "None of these candidates".

Rails don't go to all the small towns, and as you'll note, there's not much in the way of FedEx or UPS rolling in the boxcars.
Rail is great for moving tens or hundreds of loads of product to various hubs, waypoints and distribution centers.
Three hundred gondolas of coal? Rail rules.
Van load of household furnishings and belongings going halfway across country? It'll get there faster by truck, point to point.
Every mode of transportation has it's strengths and weaknesses. Thing is, the USA has worked out those differences far better than just about anyplace else on earth. And that pisses off all the right people, which only adds shine to the apple.

One exception. That asshole Buffett has learned how to rent politicians and is using his Democrat Party buddies to block oil pipelines from the Bakken fields. Therefore the oil has to travel in HIS BNSF oil tanker cars. Which makes millions for Buffett, but screws the grain farmers and elevators as they cannot move their products. And the cities are all complaining about thousands of tanker cars carrying flammable oil rolling through the center of their cities 24/7.
Buffett loves it, the progressive politicians he rents have made him millions.
Oil should be shipped in pipelines not by train

If you scroll down on the results page, they also tell you what themes "matter" to you most. Mine were:
"Small Government vs Big Government
94% Small
You side extremely towards “Small Government”, meaning you very strongly believe the government is overly bureaucratic, inefficient, and wasteful.
Collectivism vs Individualism
80% for Individualism
You side strongly towards “Individualism”, meaning you strongly support free market policies that create opportunity for personal liberty and success.
Laissez-faire vs Keynesian
72% for Laissez-faire
You side strongly towards “Laissez-faire”, meaning you strongly believe government intervention in economic markets leads to long term negative results."

He's the Constitution Party candidate (appearing on the Nevada ballot under the name of the Constitution Party's Nevada affiliate, the Independent American Party).
Interesting enough, he's on the Nevada ballot because the IAP is, along with the LP, one of two minor parties with guaranteed ballot access.
Stein is not on the Nevada ballot according to the Secretary of State, and Nevada does not allow write-in candidates.

It had some interesting comments on 16 different areas at the bottom. Some of them seemed pretty accurate but more than a few were off a bit, I would say. Not wildly incorrect, just off a bit.

Long comment follows. Just go on to the next comment. Ignore the drunk babbling and drooling on the bar.
People who have faced death and lived to tell about it.

1978, south of Paris, Texas, lost on some lonely two-lane in the middle of a February night. I was asleep in the shotgun seat. Just before I dozed off, I thought I should crawl in the back seat (listen to your inner voice, folks!), but I didn't want to leave the driver alone. (As if a groggy person in the front seat is any help staying awake!)
I woke up with broken glass and blood all over me, cold wind blowing. I groggily ask the driver what happened. "We hit a horse." I think we went through that several times before I stayed conscious. He said a couple of horses crossed the road and he had enough time to think, "that was close!" when another one ran out. (He got a tiny cut on one arm.)
A check on the rest of my body suggested no vital organs damaged, but I thought I had lost several of my front lower teeth. Hit the dash, I think, in that age before shoulder belts. I didn't think I was going to die, but loosing front teeth p'd me off. However, after prying my lower lip off of them, all my teeth were all still there, save for a tiny chip on one tooth. So, I was pretty good at that point, feeling lucky.
I remember the cold wind, the ambulance guys cutting my shirt off (I remember the shirt, a nice one I'd had since high school), the ride to the hospital. "Watch out, guys," I told them, "there's horses on the road tonight." Less amusing than I thought I was, no doubt. I must've been pretty delirious from blood loss and adrenaline. And surviving.
I remember the surgeon remarking that I was pretty messed up. I mumbled, oh, it's not that bad is it? He said my face looked like "hamburger." Ew! So I shut up and let him get right to work. Eighty stitches, in various places around my head. See my cool scar on my jaw? It was from a broken beer bottle in a bar fight, really. Naw.
That post between the windshield from the side vent (IH Traveler) saved my life - it was folded all the way down. Horse was caught on that and decapitated. A half-second difference, it would have been me.
Angels insisted I had to live so I could be a dad. Thanks!

Early 1990s, Chicago, getting home late and inebriated, walking down Argyle ("Little VietNam") from the El stop, I feel a poke in my back and a guy says, "Step down this alley." Milady asks me, what do we do? I said, just keep walking. Guy gives up on the uncooperative, besotted couple.
A few steps beyond, and Milady says, "Did you see a gun?" and I am suddenly highly cognizant of the size and shape of what had been poked in my back. Duh! Wow!
Guy was obviously not a killer, just a lame-ass crook neighbor who decided not to press the issue. But, I mean, f' it. If you're going to shoot me, you're going to have to do it out here under the lights where they can find the body, not back in some alley where I might not be found 'til I rot and stink.
Called a couple of old acquaintances in the middle of the night, just to say, hi, I'm alive! Adrenaline is a heckuva drug.
♥
Various cars spinning out of control, and other adventures. Burst appendix at nine years old. An illness a couple of years ago that felt like it could be fatal. Begging God, either take me or heal me, don't leave me like this! Surviving is nice.
I am not a risk-taker, really - life is risky enough.
And I've never wanted a tattoo - life has tattooed me aplenty.
I can tell you, every day God lets me have is a greatly appreciated gift. Feel like I've died and been reborn several times already. Sorta feel like that every time I wake up from sleep, no matter what shape I'm in. When the Big Jump comes, I figure it won't be as hard as some I've already experienced. But I'll gladly wait a long time.

It was a wink and nudge from the national GOPe. Nothing overt.
Outside money to media outlets was at full flow. Sources of that money, in the few cases we could trace, went to Democratic front groups.
IMHO, the Dems are masters of stealing power. We have a real life evil mastermind in Soros. With a core of committed apparatchiks aiding him.
And we have no defense as a nation. To me that is the most disheartening thing. We can roll up the network. Stop the demonstrable evil. We can protect self-goverend citizens. Alas.

Or, that she is going to expand her credit card thefts and just auto-charge every card in America for $25 on the presumption the owners would really want to give if they were asked, so lets skip to the next step and save everyone some time.

When pollsters first started polling Trump vs. hillary showing Trump in the lead they told me that you can't trust National polls and the only polls that counted were the State Battleground polls which showed hillary crushing Trump at that time.
Next it was Trump will never break 30% and hillary will have it in the bag by Labor Day with a double digit lead over Trump. Then it was he will never break 40%. Now that he has done that in a few polls, they have motorized the goalposts and said he can't get to 50%.
Soon it was you can't trust random adult polls because those showed Trump in the lead, you could only trust polls of Registered Voters. That morphed into you can only trust polls of Likely Voters because hillary was losing ground yet again.
Now that almost every poll using Likely voters shows Trump in the lead or within the MOE and crushing hillary in key battleground States they are telling me you can't trust any poll except the one that happens election day.
I am beginning to think that the #NeverTrump people aren't really against Trump, they are in the bag for hillary and have always have been.

It's a pride thing. They are proud of their alleged prognostication abilities, and have been absolutely 100% wrong about Trump all along. They refuse to admit it, so they double down and move to even more ludicrous positions.

Some friend.
Call the nickelfucker out. "Am I a racist, misogynistic bigot? Yes or no?"
And then unfollow, defriend or cut off all communication with extreme prejudice. You should not have to put up with that kind of crap from anyone, least of all someone who feels free to slander you while sailing under the false flag of "friend."

@614. There are some powerful people pulling strings in the republican
party. They are fine with both Obama and Hillary. Why? It's got to be
money.
Posted by: Case, Mors Semper Tyrannis at September 16, 2016 07:22 AM (SXa8W)
They've learned to monetize failure. The PACmen, party committee types, and consultant-industrial complex rake in the money when campaigns are lost, as they then start promising to "fight" and saying that they need money to do so.
Then they roll over and wave the white flag at the first opportunity, and start passing around the hat for even more money to "oppose" the issue.

Exactly. It has ceased to be about issues, and become a means of keeping themselves wealthy and famous. They care about nothing else, and losing is a guaranteed money maker with no responsibility. After all, people don't expect much of a minority party (which they still act like, even when they are congressional majorities).

We need a new party and a new brand. The new brand thing is important, since the conservative brand has been tarnished by their actions. A lot of the fraudulent surrender monkeys, of course, claim to be virtuous conservatives.
I'd say that since globalism and anti-americanism are now the status quo, and we have no interest in maintaining that, that we are no longer conservatives. We are now the radicals. Let's start acting like it.

As an ex-Floridian I'm pleased Trump is now solidly in the lead there.
He cannot win without Florida, so I hope he can hold on to it.
Posted by: MTF at September 16, 2016 07:31 AM (/m8T6)
Trump is within striking distance in both Michigan and Pennsylvania. If he takes both of those states, he might be able to win without Florida.
A lot would still have to go exactly right, but it might not be as essential as we think it is.
I'm hoping he takes all 3, and we never have to find out.

It is just SO HARD for people to admit that Conservatives might not want to vote for a liberal with almost no conservative ideals.
When Trump wins (he will) the only solace will be the double schadenfreude - first from Democrats, who will (briefly) lose their minds, and then from Trump voters when they realize what he's going to do in office and how he's changed the party (this will last much longer).

One more reason why I refuse to call myself a millenial, no matter what the idiots who come up with the official definitions say (I turned 18 before the millenium rolled over, too!). I still remember the sense of awe and hope I had when the Berlin Wall fell, thought I'd be growing up in a world where the Free World meant the whole world.

That's only the start of it. A megalomaniac with absolute power can never long resist the urge to implement a "final solution". Even if they dress it up with names like "Happiness Centers", or "Re-Education", as a fig leaf to cover up the reality of what it is.
And these people are megalomaniacs.

You are thinking of "projection".
Listen to the left. EVERYTHING that they claim the "right" will do, is secretly what THEY want to do.
They want to do something, so they think naturally everyone else wants to also.
Remember, Hitler wasn't the only lefty to put people in camps.

He's not going to destroy the party as an organization. The guys like McConnell specialize in holding power - ideals don't enter into it. He's a master at go-along-to-get-along, which is the problem. He'll adjust to Trump and Trump will be perfectly happy to work with him, just like he'll happily work with Pelosi and Reid. What will be pushed even further to the fringes is any kind of actual Conservatism.
Rush pretty much declared small-government Conservatism dead this week, and he's correct.

It's not like any of the "virtuous conservatives" in the NeverTrump camp ever produced any victories for conservative ideals, so what's the difference between their dominance and a Trump presidency in that regard?

It's been dead for years. Murdered by the party establishment. Stabbed in the back more times than Julius Caesar.
He's just admitting that we've gotten to this point. The ideal of a small, representative government instead of a centralized monster that rules them will never die...
But "conservatism" as it is today has nothing to do with that anymore. If it's to experience a rebirth, we have to admit this, divorce ourselves from the false conservatives, and start again.
