Check Yer Oil
Pretty sad you have to do this for a new car. Especially some of the higher priced European ones. Nearly 1.5 million vehicles have higher than average oil consumption. Adventures in Dentistry I'm pretty sure it's never a good idea to hire a dentist via facebook and then have your procedure done at home. Fake dentist accused of pulling 5 teeth from woman on her couch. Airplane Airplane came out this week 35 years ago.

And even more interesting, about 100B euro of that bad Greek debt is on the ECB's balance sheet (ie monetized). That is more than the ECB's capital cushion, and according to ECB rules, it will be all the eurozone banks that must take the haircut on that as well.
You see, this reality that all those "assets" in the system that are not in fact assets but bags of dogshit is what all the lying and fraud has been about over the last few years. Maintain the fiction that bad debt is still good.
Reality is asserting.

I also just got a book on bastles (there is a new word for you), the fortified houses built along the Anglo-Scottish border during the 15th and 16th centuries. Neat stuff, and with the news being what it is I am tempted to try to persuade my parents to make some alterations to the house on - all we'd have to do is brick the windows and most of the doors, remove all staircases in favor of ladders, and put a stone veneer around the outside about four feet thick. Seems do-able.

Our Fed simply did a clever accounting trick to create a pretend asset to cover that excess if necessary. Guess what that asset is? A pretend "loan" by the US Treasury, which of course wouldn't be real Ts lawfully issued.
The US taxpayer would slowly eat that loss, but wouldn't see it immediately because of the clever accounting trick.
The ECB can't (or somehow won't) do such a little trick. They will need to force the banks in the system to cough up that "bad" currency.

My Mazda RX-8 burns a quart every 1500 miles or so, but that's because
it's a rotary engine. It uses so much oil it has an oil injection
system instead of an oil pan, and it's very important to use regular oil
as opposed to synthetic.>>>
The Wankel is also a great motor for getting bad gas mileage. It gets close to the same as a Suburban but in a sports car.

Grand Isle, Louisiana gets smacked whenever a hurricane hits the state. All the buildings down there are on stilts (stick with me, this actually ties into what you said).
One guy got creative after Katrina and Rita, and rebuilt his stilt house out of I-beams and poured concrete. Looked like it should have been called the Fuhrertreehouse. After Gustav, it was the only building there that wasn't trashed.

Mmm. The US has 12.7 billion debt, compared to over 300 billion in bailout money already sunk into Greece by the EU.
Puerto Rico on the other hand is considering bailing on 72 billion. The US would eat almost all of that, IIRC.
And still that's nothing considering the total size of the US bond market, which is something like $35 trillion.

When you hear talk of the Fed (or ECB, or BOJ, etc) "monetizing debt", they are taking the debt instruments of their governments and creating money against them, which then goes into the system. Most of the time, the assets on central bank(CB) balance sheets are promises to repay by their respective governments. That is, the treasury bills and bonds or whatever they call them (germans call them "bunds").
The problem is when those "assets" turn out to be worthless. That means the CB has created money with nothing to balance it, no real economic output to balance it. This is the equivalent of "raw printing" of money.

Things got very bad in the '70's and not just from Carter. And Reagan and the Congress aren't the heroes some try to make them out to be. They were just better than what went before them.
Now we've had almost 8 years of malice aforethought by a crypto muslim anti american Communist who's sole aim is to reduce America and those who still believe in American ideal to ruin. The appearance that he has succeeded is aided by the lack of much counter action by those who should be leading a counter attack. It's almost as if they see no reason to and agree with the results so far.
That does not bode well for any future attempts to correct the direction we're going in. And that is what is discouraging me. Not where we have been or where we are but where we are going unless a very large and directed effort is made to make some drastic changes. I think that even if those changes could be made it will do much good as doing so will alter the way we govern ourselves to such an extent that we will no longer be the same country.
So either way we're going to be changed. Whether we like it or not.

This is different from real currency. Central banks create that. Suppose their is a panic, a run on the banks. This is just a panic, the assets are good, representing real economic activity. The panic can destroy the value of those assets as depositors demand real money to hold, forcing the banks to liquidate. They don't have enough real money to meet the demand.
Central bank comes to the rescue, "Monetizing" those assets and allows everyone to hold real money. Panic abates, people put their money back, banks repay CB and all is well.
That depends on the assets being really good. When you get to doing that with assets that are not good, but are in fact shit, you are printing money whoreishly and it goes to hell.
Real losses must be realized, a CB cannot print its way out.

It is more like taking a dollar from your right pocket, putting it into your left and saying, "Since I have that dollar and my left pocket owes my right pocket a dollar, I now have two dollars.
One real and one I owe myself.
What it really is amounts to sneaking money into the economy and pretending that it has the same value.
The money is slowly devalued as it does not pay for the same amount of goods and services it did just two, five, ten years ago.
Savings rates are devalued and even if you could get 3.5% interest from savings, that money is "lost" through inflation over as few as, (at this current rate), twelve years.
--Someone will be here to correct my inaccuracies, but this is the pretend monetary structure that The Fed has been playing with since Nixon.
We hadn't monetized any debt until GWB abandoned the Free Market System to "save it".

Bubble Wrap, the packaging material popular with shippers and toddlers alike, is losing its pop.
Sealed Air Corp. , the original seller of Bubble Wrap since 1960, is rolling out a revamped version of its signature product. Dubbed iBubble Wrap, the new packaging is sold in flat plastic sheets that the shipper fills with air using a custom-made pump. The inflated bubbles look much like traditional Bubble Wrap, with one key difference: They dont burst when pressure is applied.

Thanks so much. Economics and electronics are two things I always wanted to study but got pushed down in the batting order by chemistry and physics.
So if I understand your answer correctly, currency stands as a proxy to the real, underlying asset (i.e., something people actually want), and thus if no one actually wants the underlying "asset," the fiat money nominally issued as a proxy to it is in fact worthless.

Thanks so much. Economics and electronics are two things I always wanted to study but got pushed down in the batting order by chemistry and physics.
So if I understand your answer correctly, currency stands as a proxy to the real, underlying asset (i.e., something people actually want), and thus if no one actually wants the underlying "asset," the fiat money nominally issued as a proxy to it is in fact worthless.
Posted by: Jay Guevara at July 03, 2015 11:17 PM (oKE6c)
The Federal Reserve is only supposed to purchase "obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the United States" to inject money into the economy. Basically, Treasury obligations.
Treasury obligations are promises to tax current taxpayers for the interest and to tax the shit out of some future taxpayers for the principal.
Every dollar in circulation is supposed to be backed by that -- but in the 2008 meltdown, the Fed abandoned that -- take a look at the second chart here: http://www.marketwatch.com/story /the-feds-enormous-balance -sheet-in-seven-charts- 2014-04-18?page=1
That means that a serious chunk of the value of every greenback in your wallet or balance on your statement is ownership of Mortgage Backed Securities.

Yessir, Mr. Central Banker, I'm a-gonna get out there a build and build something huuuuuuuuuuge and really classy (said in Trump voice). Please create me some currency so's I can buy the shit I need to build it.
If Trump is good for it, all is well. If not, you just counterfeited the money. Now in practice, central banks don't monetize the promises of some random guy off the street. It's done collectively, sort of averaging out the promises of the whole system. A government is one big collective entity of those promises. The banking system itself is another.

parts 2 3.
Tonight, Milady and I are again watching the original part of the
greatest time-travel trilogy ever filmed. 'Merica! Elements of Style,
Strunk says, let every word tell. This movie wastes no time."
I saw it when it was released. At a theater in downtown Philly. After I saw it, I went and watched Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome which was out at the same time.
BTTF is good, but it has a bunch of plot holes in it. One of them is where Marty runs the distance from downtown to the shopping mall (at the end of the movie) in a few minutes. In the past, it takes him quite a while to walk that distance (from where he left the car after appearing on the tree farm where the mall is built later on) into downtown. It's nighttime when he appears on the farm, dawn when he stops the car and gets out, and full daylight when he arrives at the coffee shop.

If anyone is interested, take a gander at the Fed's balance sheet, known in the parlance as "H.4.1" Put that in Google and you'll get to the Fed's page on it. Behold.
It took me years to be able to fully understand the meaning of it all.
WHat the Fed is "allowed" to do by law gets very complicated (and subject to CJ Roberts level of logical knot tying), but I agree that monetizing the MBS was illegal. But no one cared, the Fed needed to do what it needed to save the system from collapse. Me, I say collapse is guaranteed, they were just buying time and making it even worse in the end.

Even if the asset being monetized is not "worth anything" now, in a narrow sense, isn't it still worth something in a broader sense if you believe that it will be worth something later? By which I mean that other people will trade value for the right to have an ownership position in it, albeit in the future. If that be true, then it is worth something now, right?

You assume a few things. He likely walked to town in the past. And ran at full sprint in the present. And that where he hid the car was close to the mall when he hid it. But there is no reason to assume he did.

Supernatural is excellent IMHO. Idjits.
WEEDS is ok (kinda liberal claptrap but still not bad).
Orange is the New Black first 2 seasons are good (3rd season not so much).
Arrested Development is pretty good.
Peaky Blinders is terrible (and I tried to like it).
Revolution is a pretty good post apocolypse (Monroe Army ftw).
House of Cards (corrupt politicians, enough of that in real life).
Breaking Bad (first few seasons are good, gets old).
X-Files (the truth is out there)
Xena (tried watching it buts kind of dated, LL is hot though).
Spartacus (1st season is amazing).
Jack Taylor (Takes place in Ireland).
Lilyhammer is surprisingly good (Sopranos goes to Norway).
Longmire is really pretty awesome (3 seasons, takes place in Montana).
Sherlock is excellent. Really good TV.
American Horror Story (1st season is good, 2nd not bad, 3rd horrible).
Dexter (pretty solid, the finale bites).
Wallander (there is an Irish and British version, both are not bad).
Survivors (a British plague end of days type show, not bad).
Star Trek Generations.
Heroes (1st few season are awesome, last season is terrible).
MASH
Twin Peaks.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is pretty damn funny.
TURN is pretty well done and interseting.
Psych is a damn good show (silly but fun, the last season sucks though).

This is where you get the "audit the Fed" stuff.....what they have been willing to tell us about is -- as publius and I agree -- clearly illegal and clearly underwater mortgages are more shaky than the government's ability to tax.

I'd say (subject to correction from publius) that a closer analogy would be if your neighbor walks away from his mortgage, and then your other neighbors realize that they can walk away from theirs, too, and pretty soon your neighborhood is full of distressed properties that the banks offload to section 8 housing.

You may invest in it for that possible future value, but if it's on immediate sale for right now cash, then that is what one will get for it. Current value.
What has been missing in this whole "recovery" is that assets were not allowed to naturally hits their base current value, get purchased, and then gradually rise again. They were propped up in value because the Fed owned so very many of them that they could/wwould not let them settle, as they had to move them to make room for even more bad assets.
This cycle is ongoing. Grab a chair and hold on tight when Math finally makes this happen. Won't work out well.

You know, isn't fucking everything run by commies now? Our local station that broadcasts ballgames has an ad for AARP (that features 30 somethings), prompting me to admonish one of the young Guevaras that AARP is run by commies now. I heard that the bakers who burned the dykes on a "wedding" cake, and were fined $135,000 (sounds about right) could not be funded by GoFundMe because the commie fags running GoFundMe wouldn't have it.

Cutter makes a lawn & garden spray, which is a 1 qt. bottle that attaches to your garden hose.
Buy three or four bottles.
Spray every square inch of your lawn, shrubs and other landscaping. Soak it heavily. Spray every square inch of your structure. Siding, porches, soffit, fascia, behind the HVAC unit, etc.
That area around the front door? Spray it when you begin, and then when you've done everything else, spray it again. Spray the door itself, too.
Mosquitos will land and sit out the heat of the day on the undersides of leaves in shrubbery. They'll do the same on the soffits, (the underside of the eaves of your house), and even on the bottom sides of the rockin' chairs on your porch.
Spray. Every. Thing.
Ortho's Lawn & Garden spray is a better product, but they've put it into a wimpy "sprinkler" type sprayer, with only about a 3 ft. reach on the spray.
The Cutter bottle, with good water pressure, will easily give a 12 ft. reach, maybe even 15 ft.
The good thing? Barring a torrential rain, this will give a good three to five week span of near-total mosquito relief.
Personally, I have mosquitos. Somewhere in my DNA, there is a red n' white checkerboard spiral, labeled: "Purina Mosquito Chow".
Damn mosquitos.

The PPT, plunge protection team. It exists but they are far to clever and sneaky to put it directly on the Fed's balance sheet. Buying stocks would be even more "clearly illegal" (but I'd bet you they could get away with it). Hell I think some central banks can actually do this. BOJ maybe, but I'm not sure.
What they do is this. They have their buddies in the financial system. There trillions of Ts and other things they do monetize floating out there. They buy them off these buddies of theirs with the understanding that their buddies will take the money and prop up the markets.
That's how the game is played, basically. All that monetizing. look at H.4.1 before the Crisis vs now. It's unbelievable how much money was "printed" (basically electrons in the Fed's computers and not physical FRNs, but those have increased appreciably as well).
That chunk of cash has basically been supporting the markets and keeping the US Treasury's interest rate from shooting up, allowing Congress to still keep spending like the Whore of Babylon. Well, in deflationary shocks, people flock to Ts anyway, so psychology helps keeps Uncle's borrowing costs down as well. But once that's gone, Uncle's interest rate explodes, with only printing to save it.

California refused to take them. Wanted real American greenbacks, not their own funny money.
Posted by: Fox2! at July 03, 2015 11:38 PM (XMCo0)"
I wonder if something like that could work if California did accept its own IOUs as payment for state taxes. That would give the things some inherent value. Yes, everybody would pay their taxes with IOUs that they probably bought at some kind of discount from state workers or welfare recipients or whoever else was being paid by the state but as long as the state paid out enough less than their entire tax load so that they got enough greenbacks to pay the interest on their loans, they would have essentially created a secondary currency that they could print. Actually, they would probably contract out to one of those commercial firms like De La Rue that prints currency for countries who don't print their own.
It seems like I must be overlooking something in this money perpetual motion machine scheme but I can't think of what it is.

Indeed we are. The country is quite deliberately being destroyed from within. This is end game time for the people who hate the American ethos, and a huge portion of conservatives act as if it's just another period of temporary political exile that can be turned around if we can just win the next election. A vast, multi-faceted, and aggressive organized effort among citizens who are traditionalist Constitutionalists has to be launched and maintained to relentlessly fight cultural Marxism, i.e. political correctness.

lots of physicist whiz kids being hired to do financial modelling (I'm

is economics is part "laws of physics" and part **psychologly**. Belief
and all that. That is the part that is utterly impossible to make
rational and scientific and thus predict.
Imagine if the laws of
gravity only worked if the planets "believed in them". Well it will go
inverse square until the planets freak out and decide to go inverse
cube. That's economics.

I'm always amused by assertions of a "rational market." If that were true, there would be no discontinuities; I presume that economists adopt a rational market perspective to impute continuity to markets, and thereby to provide them an intellectual fig leaf for using calculus. My own (ignorant) take: the market is like a poker game. Some math involved, and a shitload of psychology (i.e., ratlike emotion).

The thesis of the lecturer was that the resulting hyperinflation wiped out savings, and that, coupled with the Weimar Republic's firing of bureaucrats (be still my savage heart!) led to a large group of formerly middle class who'd been impoverished by Weimar's policies, who blamed France inter alia, and were receptive to the Nazis' message.

I didn't know that, but I presumed it from the lay of the land. To use calculus one needs to presume continuity; to me the "rational market" hypothesis seemed like wishful thinking so that economists could use calculus, i.e., presume that every scintilla of information immediately got out and moved the market in a predictable and reproducible way, much like a reversible adiabatic or isothermal process in thermodynamics.
If that's NOT true, calculus goes out the window, and the economists are pretty much just jerking off, to use another technical term.

Starving people in the cities actually went on rampages out the country, attacking livestock like wolves for the meat.
And yes, older people had their entire life savings wiped out. All their life's work was worth zero. The committed suicide en masse.
There was even some psychological disorder of bankers and accountants they called "cipher"-something, cipher-madness.

392: The federal constitution prevents the state's from making their own
"money". The money power belongs exclusively to the feds. Now the
argument is "what is money" and what is something that might be used
like money but a court would decide isn't really money.
So, no
state can make its own currency. Well, script privately maybe...but no
one, no one including private citizens can "coin money".
Posted by: publius (not Breitbart publius) at July 04, 2015 12:25 AM (dvuhZ)"
Well, the other question is "What is this Constitution of which you speak, earthman?"
I suppose that they could print on the California Currency some sort of disclaimer like "This is not money." They could also make the argument that as long as they don't make any coins they are cool. How about if they never produce any physical artifacts? What if they got banks to create an entirely separate accounting system for state workers, welfare weasels and state contractors. The only thing that ever happens is that electrons get moved around.
I seem to recall that in the 19th century bank notes were really notes from particular banks and were backed by each bank's deposits of gold and federal greenbacks. That apparently did not violate the Constitution, although I assume that there are now laws against it since it is no longer done.

They are issuing drivers licenses to whomever shows up at the DMV with cash. These persons receive California drivers licenses that say, right on the front, in capital letter, helvetica font "NOT VERIFIED".
So, the State of California is officially in the business of counterfeiting identity cards, which can be used for welfare benefits and even to register to vote, of course.

The way the US govt intends to pay its debt when TSHTF is the same as Greece is doing just now, raiding deposits. And when that isn't enough, they will come after assets. All they have to do is create a wealth tax, it will be high enough most can't pay and your assets are seized. The wealth will be transferred to those in power.

There's not enough. I'm serious, there's not enough money in the US economy to pay down that debt. And unlike Greece, we don't really owe anyone else; I mean yeah China, but mostly its just fake money printed up to pay for idiot leftist schemes. Its money they government owes the economy to make it have real value. When that comes finally due, there's nobody to pay it just becomes worth less and less and less to balance out its true value.

All that requires is ... utterly uncoupling all brakes and steering from mechanical connections, and making them all electronic.

As things are, I occasionally see politicians put forth the idea of taxing the money in Roths. Keep in mind that the money in a Roth is taxed as regular income *before* it's put into the Roth account (as opposed to a regular 401(k), where the money isn't taxed until it's withdrawn). The rationale is that Roths are just "rich people" retirement accounts, since they don't have the maximum annual contribution rules that 401(k)s do.

Yeah. Color me "unimpressed" by the "push to start" feature on new cars. 1954 Studebakers had push-button start, if you had an automatic transmission. You still had to insert the key and turn on the ignition, but there was a dedicated chrome button for the starter. That was because the manual-shift cars had the starter button under the clutch pedal, activated by depressing the clutch to the floor.
The hot-rod marketplace is selling electric power steering as a stand-alone. No reason it should be any more problematic than hydraulic power steering.
Did you know that Studebaker actually developed fully-mechanical power steering? Driven by a belt off the front of the engine, it contained a mess of gears and clutches. It got written up in the service manual, and a few 1953 cars were sold with it. All got recalled, and replaced with Saginaw hydraulic power steering. It was never fully explained why, but I'm guessing some person had the mechanical system unexpectedly go to full lock all on its own, and panicked, and the company decided there was a risk of a company-killing lawsuit.

But the Ford case is an issue of introducing complexity in the guise of simplicity. The "engine off" switch is a function of the body control module, and has software associated with it. Fewer parts in total, and easier for the robots/factory monkeys to assemble, but it becomes impossible to troubleshoot the engine kill function independently of all the other functions of the body control module.
I recently purchased an electric power steering unit of the type used in Saturn Ion cars. It requires a speed signal from the ECM to control how much boost is provided, max at near-zero speed, minimum at higher speed. But there is an eBay vendor from Portugal who sells, quite cheap, a pulser that replaces that ECM signal, and allows the user to dial in as much assist as desired. No ECM required.
If the electric assist fails, manual steering is retained; it's not steer-by-wire.

As things are, I occasionally see politicians put forth the idea of taxing the money in Roths. Keep in mind that the money in a Roth is taxed as regular income *before* it's put into the Roth account (as opposed to a regular 401(k), where the money isn't taxed until it's withdrawn). The rationale is that Roths are just "rich people" retirement accounts, since they don't have the maximum annual contribution rules that 401(k)s do.

693 Such a pulsar completely defeats the point of variable-assist power steering. That's a really obvious and super-lame modification.
Having the same rate of assist for high and low speeds is not only foolish and wasteful, I can see why it might be extraordinarily dangerous.

Well, I don't know how much credence to put into that story, but for my own part, I wouldn't be adding anything that uses software. Now, that Saturn Ion steering assist might have some firmware on board to take the pulses from the ECM and translate that into a signal to control the assist level. But if it can be "fooled" by pulses from an outboard pulse generator, it's probably just some PWM-type circuits. And as long as the device can't communicate with the Internet, or other devices in the car, it can't readily be hacked.
And the vehicle it's intended for doesn't have any on-board electronics, not even spark plugs.

I seem to recall that early (mid-70's) electronic fuel injection systems could be crashed by truckers with linear amps attached to their CB radios.
From what I've seen, modern systems are reasonably well shielded, but a steering system might be just be vulnerable to EM pulses ... maybe a high-powered ignition, maybe a weird path to ground for something else, ...

716 It's PWM signal based on the ecm's translations of the speed of change read by the steering angle sensor.

Having the same rate of assist for high and low speeds is not only foolish and wasteful, I can see why it might be extraordinarily dangerous.
Posted by: MAx at July 04, 2015 02:17 AM (YJeFl)
Well, it's a work-around. But the classic hydraulic power steering is not speed-sensitive, is it? Now that may have been added with the advent of ECM's, but back in the '60's and '70's, whatever boost you got was what you got.
Anyway, my plan to implement this is to buy one of the pulsers, and see what makes it tick. The boost control is nothing but a potentiometer. It would be dead-nuts easy to have several potentiometers (or fixed resistors), switched by the transmission. Maximum boost in low gear and reverse, 70% in second, 50% in third, maybe 10% in sixth (overdrive).

724 First thing we need to be clear on is whether we're talking about vehicle speed or speed of steering wheel movement. The system you're proposing is based on vehicle speed which may not be the way you want to go-

Yeah. Remember, this unit I'm talking about is an assist. The solid mechanical link between the steering wheel and the steering box is still there. A strong person could probably overpower the assist unit if it were to "fail to max", but I will probably put a kill switch in the circuit. Just cut off power to the electric motor, and you have manual steering once more.

Posted by: MAx at July 04, 2015 02:32 AM (YJeFl)
Well the old hydraulic systems typically had a tiny torsion bar in the valve body section of the steering box, and cranking on the wheel would twist that bar, and you had valve spools linked to each end of that torsion bar, and radial displacement of one relative to the other would let hydraulic pressure pass to the power piston.
At low speeds, say when parking, it takes a lot of effort to turn the front wheels, so it was easy to get a large deflection on the torsion bar, and hence a lot of pressure to the piston. At road speed, the front wheels aren't experiencing static friction, so less effort from the steering box is needed. Hence the torsion bar doesn't deflect as much, and less boost is provided. All you have to do is drive a car with manual steering to understand what I mean there. It's not so much that the boost is speed-sensitive as it is that the required steering effort diminishes with speed, and boost is controlled by by the delta between required effort and actual operator input.

Yeah, I don't see a "fail to max" in an electric steering assist as being very likely, either. Much more likely, it just quits altogether, or becomes intermittent. I could do without steering assist altogether at speeds over about 20 mph. I mean the vehicle in question, a motor coach, has none now, and that's the way it was built. My main goal in adding the electric assist would be to make it easier to maneuver in parking situations.

I was cut from the HS soccer team because they were #1 in the State of Ohio and I was just a noob. I should have gone out for goalie, because ours sucked.
That happened in my Sophomore, Junior and Senior years. I never gave up because Fuck Them.
You were required to run the mile in under six minutes to continue to practice with the team.
I did it for three years in-a-row, with my best time in my Senior year at 5:45.
By the time I was 31? I was a smoker and a drinker, (duh), so I'll bet my time would have been north of 9:00. ...and then I would have collapsed, dead.

I guess they figure that most people won't notice that their shitty system has to be turned off and turned on every single night. What sort of company (other than a cable company) could get away with such ridiculously shitty service?
I had a guy who worked at comcast who used to live next door and I asked him why they would be rebooting every single night. He said, "updates" to which I laughed. I asked him how retarded they had to be to have updates every single day (not that anything ever looks better after the forced reboot).
I had assumed that only comcast was this bad ...
And don't even get my started on their piece of shit dvr ... I have my own dvr and record stuff to my own hard drive, which is the only way to do it, really.

Heh. yeah .... that's another beauty. And I love the screen from 1973 and the way they hike the volume for it.
Frankly, there's no need or reason for any "Emergency Broadcast System". The channels can just choose to carry emergency bulletins, themselves and they'd do a much better job than the shit forced by the government.
I also like how it's supposed to be a monthly test but it seems to pop up much more frequently than that ... usually right when something important is happening in the movie or a big play is going on for a sporting event

I usually catch uverses on Fridays around noon. And theirs is a pop up on the bottom of the screen that. You can exit before it finishes.

I'm pretty close to getting rid of cable (anything for tv). I haven't watched any broadcast TV in over a decade and I stopped watching news on cable years ago when Fox and Fox business just irritated me too much. All I use cable for are pay channels and they mostly blow. On demand rarely has anything great and trying to navigate the retarded interface is too much of a hassle to bother with it if I don't know what I want to start with.
Just a broadband connection is all I really need, anymore.

If I weren't a sports junkie, I'd have ditched this shit long ago.
It is costing me as much as I used to pay for All of The Movie Channels with sports and food, essentially.
Two-Hundred bucks a month. For internet and MLB and NFL "extras".

I'm lucky. I only watch tennis and golf regularly (for sports) and those are pretty cheap channels. A lot of those can be streamed free. I can also live pretty well without them, anyway. Golf and tennis, being individual sports, means that I'm just watching the same people play each other over and over.

I like Wimbledon. I have not seen enough to see any early-round upsets, but I've watched some nice rallies on the Men's side. I've also seen some ugly women.
Don't get me wrong. The womens' game is more competitive and a better all-around "Rally" game.
I just see underwear that I'd rather not see again.

That is because the state would not accept it to pay taxes. If they did, the stuff would have some value. It would be discounted from real money and worthless outside California but value nonetheless. When people had to pay state taxes, they would look for this stuff to pay them with.
