I was gaming out the scenario with a friend and we came to the conclusion that he should say no. Not that I thought it was a bad idea, but the timing sucks politically, and you can always say yes later*, and the rule of never taking a first offer in a negotiation. Then, Hard Rock came back with 200mil in sweeteners for the NBA mansion, and I thought, this is vindication for saying no the first time, he'll look like a negotiating genius if he says yes now. But he didn't and now I'm a little confused, other than Iowa political considerations. *Say no to building or bonding for anything, and those in favor won't relent.

There's a bar downtown that's usually pretty quiet, the bartender is friendly, and he has some pretty good recommendations for what to drink. Then I can wander over to the cigar bar, smoke inside and have another cocktail. Only downside is that the cigar bar is full of hipster bartenders and female servers with more tattoos and piercings than a carnival freak.

It was pretty disappointing and I'm pretty easy-going with my escapist viewing, limited as it is. The entire Danny Pink thing just felt forced and it lasted the entire damn season.

"U.S. Americans should be saving as much daylight as they can. It makes things grow and stuff."
Typical right-winger advocating people saving their own daylight. It's just fine the way it is, with the government saving the daylight for us. (In fact, daylight-rich states should contribute their fair share for the benefit of daylight-challenged states.) Posted by: FireHorse at March 07, 2015 10:36 PM (ldFt4) 100

There somewhere is a great story about why ID stays off DST. The diary farmers milk their cows every morning at same time and the rail road picked up the old 10 Gal cans. Changing the time messed up the railroad schedule so that was the reason for the push back.
My grandfather had a dairy farm, and I helped him carry those darn cans to the road to be picked up. Old is ugly. Posted by: Nip Sip at March 07, 2015 10:37 PM (0FSuD) 103

Stateless infidel, I liked the "Death in Heaven" finale. Danny's last speech is a good table thumper cribbing shamelessly from Shakespeare and Orwell, and flung joyfully right back in the Doctor's face. I wouldn't have expected it from Moffat after Dr. Who's traditional anti-military stance.
And Moffat seems to love messing with his audience's heads. When he reverses the credits following Clara's big opening revelation, that was just a lovely touch. Posted by: Richard McEnroe at March 07, 2015 10:45 PM (XO6WW) 125

In the northern latitudes, in the winter months, people go to work in the dark (those who work), and return home in the dark. No daylight is saved.
In the summer months, after the clocks are adjusted forward, people go to work in the dark, and after work it stays daylight until midnight. People don't get any sleep and are tired and cranky all summer. No daylight is saved during the summer months either. In fact, everyone consumes as much daylight as possible, to the point of exhaustion, and daylight is wasted. Of course, in the winter months, everyone is drunk and cranky. Posted by: G.

I don't think King was really a Republican. I hear this a lot. But there's also a lot of evidence he was sympathetic to communism. All in all, I don't very much like King as a man. Posted by: Soothsayer at March 07, 2015 10:49 PM (m7WCP) Portraying the Republican Party -- a party actually formed to end slavery and that pursued equal rights for a century thereafter until finally defeating Democrat resistance and passing the civil rights legislation of the 1960s -- as racist; while portraying the Democrats -- who used the KKK as shock troops and had an Exalted Cyclops of the KKK as Senator until 2010, as well as being the party of Bull Connor -- as champions of black advancement....is the most telling indication that the media and academia are total lying shitweasels. As for the man, it's harder to say -- I was at the MLK memorial on the mall over last year's Labor Day holiday.....and the words projected on the walls were good ones. They filled me with disquiet, however, because they have so frequently been used as a club by shitstains like Holder, Sharpton, Jackson, and Obama to call for the exact opposite of their literal, plain meaning.

Can you spot one real difference between the policy of Obama and the Democrats, and the Fascist Manifesto:
Politically, the Manifesto calls for: Universal suffrage with a lowered voting age to 18 years, and voting and electoral office eligibility for all age 25 and up; Proportional representation on a regional basis; Voting for women (which was opposed by most other European nations); Representation at government level of newly created national councils by economic sector; The abolition of the Italian Senate (at the time, the Senate, as the upper house of parliament, was by process elected by the wealthier citizens, but were in reality direct appointments by the king. It has been described as a sort of extended council of the crown); The formation of a national council of experts for labor, for industry, for transportation, for the public health, for communications, etc. Selections to be made of professionals or of tradesmen with legislative powers, and elected directly to a general commission with ministerial powers. In labor and social policy, the Manifesto calls for: The quick enactment of a law of the state that sanctions an eight-hour workday for all workers; A minimum wage; The participation of workers' representatives in the functions of industry commissions; To show the same confidence in the labor unions (that prove to be technically and morally worthy) as is given to industry executives or public servants; Reorganization of the railways and the transport sector; Revision of the draft law on invalidity insurance; Reduction of the retirement age from 65 to 55. In military affairs, the Manifesto advocates: Creation of a short-service national militia with specifically defensive responsibilities; Armaments factories are to be nationalized; A peaceful but competitive foreign policy. In finance, the Manifesto advocates: A strong progressive tax on capital (envisaging a “partial expropriation” of concentrated wealth); The seizure of all the possessions of the religious congregations and the abolition of all the bishoprics, which constitute an enormous liability on the Nation and on the privileges of the poor; Revision of all contracts for military provisions; The revision of all military contracts and the seizure of 85 percent of the profits therein. http://tinyurl.com/ltdh5u3 Posted by: The Anti-Fascist Hat at March 07, 2015 11:46 PM (0Ew3K) 291

Holy hell. I bought some absinthe, out of curiosity - this was the shit that was banned in the US and France because the authorities thought it made people nuts. (The artists who drank it, like Van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec, were nuts already.) Tammy and a few other morons said they enjoyed this.
I thought it was just a mild liqueur. Shit, it's 138 proof. I've drunk nothing but wine and beer for at least 12 years. I'm half way through my second one (diluted with water) and shit, it's kicking my ass! It's fun to make one - staining water through a sugar cube on a special spoon (kindly provided by the absinthe maker), watching it cloud up. But man,this shit is not for pussies.

Ambi here. Is it too late to participate in this fragment of the convo? Write with my right hand, but with everything else, it's ambi or lefty. Think maybe it was training . . . I remember hearing my dad tell my little bros, when they were little, "It's a right-handed world." Re. Asians, don't know about any of the other flavors, but when training in asian sword techniques, I was told by Japanese-trained teachers that there were no left-handed samurai. Which is funny. Left-handed fencers have a natural advantage of their dexter counterparts, and more than 1/7th of fencing champs are sinister.

If you don't like licorice you wont like absinthe. The first taste I had, well, I thought "Crap, I just spent $65 on one bottle, and I don't like it!" I was very disappointed. Then I downed half the drink and I thought, hey it's not bad really. By the end of the first one, I wanted another. And now I'm halfway through the second and I'm really glad I don't have to drive anywhere tonight. A third would give me the hangover of my life, I'm sure! But I can see why writers like Oscar Wilde thought it gave them a "lucid drunkenness." I'm kinda shit-faced, but I know enough to correct my typos. I'm not so loaded I can't write sentences or recognize misspelling. It's fascinating really - I've misspelled at least 20 words in this post - but I noticed that I did and went back and corrected them. This stuff puts you in a very odd state of mind.

I was working for a national CPA firm that was having an IT-related convo in Denver, at the Brown Palace. I was a 26-year-old computer-consultant hired as a Staff Auditor repurposed as an IT asset to do accounting training for computer installations in the 80s. So I'm sitting at a spot at this MASSIVE table, with maybe 110 other peeps sitting around....and I'm probably the youngest and least IT-ish.....and they gavel this mess to order and start the presentation. And the far door opens, and this guy comes in with a little cart -- that, inevitably, has a squeaky wheel. And he comes in, looks around, and while the speaker is trying to keep his presentation together, the cart guy goes "squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak....." Until he pulls up next to me. Whereupon he pours me tea and asks "sugar?" "one lump" "lemon?" "yes, please." Then he goes squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak back to the door he came in.

Black licorice, though, if you eat too much can kill you or something.
I usually go to Ouzo if I want that licorice taste. I can drink that straight over ice. Absinthe is nasty straight. It has to be diluted. Also, I think what they are selling now is the original stuff. Wormwood was suspected as bringing the crazy but modern science has proven that to be incorrect. Or, so my drink expert buddy tells me who may be wrong on this matter. Posted by: L, Elle at March 08, 2015 12:34 AM (kWQPe) 364

Again, YOU CAN GET TO EXACTLY THE SAME PLACE IF YOU CHANGE OPERATING HOURS.....so, why change the time? It's because changing the hour means it's easier to change the pound (weight); changing the pound makes it easier to change the dollar; changing the dollar makes it easier to change the gallon; changing the gallon makes it easier to change the calorie.

The traditional answer is that the buttons on women's clothing is designed with a right-handed dressing assistant in mind. This, of course, was only a concern for a certain wealth level and above but as mass production and the middle-class rose in market power, it became an appeal to vanity to let women who dressed themselves put on the appearance of being able to have a maid assist them.

It's more a matter of practicality than a rule. The idea was that you wear the watch on the wrist of the hand you do fewer things with and are thus less likely to damage the watch accidentally or get it snagged on something. Some industrial safety films advise against wearing watches at all while operating machinery. I'm an odd case in that I write left handed but throw right handed. Though I can throw better than most left handed if I want to surprise someone. My preference in watches leaned toward the practical rather than decorative, so I'd wear it on the left out of reflex conformity more than anything else. Fortunately, those Casio calculator and phone bank watches were plenty tough. Went through about a dozen starting in the late 70s until I gave up wearing watches as redundant alongside my phone. Now the device makers are trying to convince me I should have a watch in conjunction with my phone. They'll need at least a week of run time on a charge before I'll give it the time of day, so to speak. Posted by: Epobirs at March 08, 2015 02:19 AM (IdCqF) 464

Daylight Savings Time has never lived up to the promise. There is no energy savings, it has no beneficial effect on anything, and it has a measurable negative economic impact - as well as annoys millions upon millions of people.
It's the perfect example for why laws need to be carefully considered before being made mandatory for everyone. Posted by: Cato the Rebel Without a Party at March 08, 2015 04:53 AM (3HxZe) 493

6 AM and still dark outside. DST seems to be working!
Posted by: Benjamin Netanfranklin at March 08, 2015 05:02 AM (cIoI4) 496
I want time to reflect natural time as closely as possible. The Sun should be at its highest at noon, not 1 p.m. Yes, I know that there is some natural variation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analemma Before the 19th century, each town kept its own time, setting its clocks to local noon. When the railroads arrived bringing high-speed travel, that made schedule-keeping difficult bordering on impossible, so "time zones" were invented. This was a good and necessary innovation, and I have no problem with dividing the Earth into 24 time zones. There is no reason why we can't keep Standard Time year round. Businesses and schools can voluntarily change their hours as they see fit. Posted by: rickl at March 08, 2015 05:08 AM (sdi6R) 497
Since saving one hour is such a good thing, here's a better proposal.
In April, we'll spring forward once again. And a month after that, again. By mid-summer, we'll have saved so much daylight. Then we pay it back by falling back in August, September, and October. Or, even better, keep our daylight saving by never falling back. Just spring forward more every year. Which all makes as much sense as the current system. Posted by: mindful webworker - save the daylight at March 08, 2015 05:08 AM (439Zu) 498
Personally, I like having more hours of daylight during the day. I heard once that when DST was tried all year round, more children died in the morning in car accidents, since they were going to school and it was dark out. So we must do it for the children. Only other solution would be having school in summer rather than winter, but then kids couldn't help on the farm. There is no perfect solution, but don't blame DST.
