Overnight Open Thread (9-8-2015)
If Germany had robust economic and demographic growth, it could absorb and assimilate the influx. It doesn't, so it can't. Growth has averaged 0.31% a year since 1991. The country has the world's lowest birthrate. Tolerant modern Germany now looks with justified disdain toward the petty nationalism, burden-shifting and fence-building of the populist Hungarian government of Viktor Orbán. But it would be foolish to think of Hungary as a political throwback rather than as a harbinger. There is no such thing as a lesson from the past that people won't ignore for the sake of the convenience of the present.
-- Bret Stephens
But not any more. Now assimilation is imperialist and racist and bad. Indeed, in Europe, which is several kilometer markers further down this road than we are, assimilation is actively discouraged. No, no, Mr. Refugee... You don't need to learn the language; you'll never be one of us anyway. You just sit there and let us feed you and keep you like a zoo animal to look at and remind ourselves that we don't feed you into ovens anymore like our parents did because we're so much better now.We'll see who cracks first, the guests or the hosts, but sooner or later, somebody's getting loaded into cattlecars, because that's how things go in Europe.

Not so fast, there, "Caitlyn."
Let Melissa Fabello Put You Some Knowledge on How To Do Interracial Dating Correctly
While interracial dynamics always add a layer of work to romance, it's important to note that I'm white. Because when you're a white person in an interracial relationship, there's this whole - ohhh, ya know - white supremacy thing hanging in the air. And that has to be acknowledged - and dealt with - constantly....As a feminist and a woman, I could never be in a relationship with someone who didn't feel comfortable talking about patriarchy.
...The same goes for race... While it's okay for conversations about white supremacy to make you uncomfortable (hey, we should be uncomfortable with that shit), being generally aware of how race plays out and feeling fairly well versed in racial justice issues is important.
...I'd love to be able to give you a formula - some kind of fool-proof ratio of number-of-white-to-POC partners - to help you determine if you're racist.
But such a thing simply doesn't exist.
I get the feeling that Ms. Fabello doesn't really see her non-white partners as actual people so much as just a way to entertain a racial other fetish and an opportunity to smug. But here's the kicker:
"she currently lives in Philadelphia, PA, with her cat."
A Cat of Color I'm sure.

Sweden and Germany Call For Refugee Sharing Among EU States

Denmark Sends Refugees Back to Germany
Refugees Now Biking Into Norway at Remote Arctic Border Crossing
Such Nice Refugees Who Will Surely Appreciate Europe's Culture and Charity
The head of a UNHCR camp called Syrian refugees "The most difficult refugees I've ever seen. In Bulgaria, they complained that there were no jobs. In Sweden, they took off their clothes to protest that it was too cold.In Italy, Muslim African "refugees" rejected pasta and demanded food from their own countries. But the cruel Europeans who "mistreat" migrants set up a kitchen in Calais with imported spices cooked by a Michelin chef determined to give them the stir-fried rabbit and lamb meatballs they're used to. There are also mobile phone charging stations so the destitute refugees can check on their Facebook accounts.
It had to be done because the refugees in Italy were throwing rocks at police while demanding free wifi.
Guy Sorman: The Unspeakable Comparison
Here Sorman plays the Godwin card and explicitly compares the Syrian refugees to the Jews in the 30s and the European countries to well European countries (and the US) in the 30s. But to complete his analogy would require acknowledging that ISIS are the new Nazis and he seems intellectually unable to do this. But he will imply that you're a Nazi-style bigot if you don't accept every refugee who wants in.
Report: Russia Directly Involved in Syria, Russian Troops Fighting Along Side Syrian Army
Russia will also gain brownie points among allies (and potential allies) in the region by stepping up to defend a client state. While the U.S. makes--and breaks--promises, Vladimir Putin looks like a man of his word, something that isn't lost on other countries looking for support against ISIS. So far, he hasn't committed enough forces to make a difference militarily, but the Russian leader understands the power of symbolism and its importance in the Middle East. Against the backdrop of a U.S. retreat in the region, even a token deployment by Moscow projects an image of power and strength.
On Slavery and the Never Ending Struggle
In the mid 19th century Islamic jihad against black Africans was in full force. The Muslims had invaded central Africa and were killing and enslaving Africans on a massive scale. They would march the newly minted African slaves out to the coast in chain gangs. These poor sick undernourished Africans were forced to march with elephant tusks on their heads. Many of the men were castrated out in the field.The Britisher who was most influential missionary in fighting Muslim depredations in Africa was a Scottish missionary named David Livingstone (19 March 1813 - 1 May 187). The primary mission of the early British missionaries to Africa was to protect the Africans from Islamic jihad. David Livingstone and the other missionaries fought Islamic jihad against Africans primarily through education both in England where the English were alerted to the tragedy which was unfolding in Africa and in Africa where the Africans received the education necessary to enable them to repel the Muslim invaders. It is ironic that leftists accuse missionaries of destroying traditional African society and to some extent they did however since Christian missionaries relied on education and persuasion to win converts rather than by force they ended up saving much of what is uniquely African from the impending destruction by Islamic jihad.
The name of the modern day Islamic jihadis in central Africa, Boko Harem (roughly translated - Western education is a fraud which is forbidden in Islam) is not a fluke. The Islamists know exactly what the missionaries hoped to accomplish by establishing schools and hospitals throughout Africa and they hate them because they stand as bulwark against their violent jihad.
Puerto Ricans: Please Take Us Back Spain
As Puerto Rico grapples with crippling debt and double-digit unemployment, a far-fetched idea to tackle the US territory's economic woes may be gaining modest traction - one that would see Puerto Rico break off from the United States to re-join Spain.
"By returning to Spain, we'll have autonomy," said José Nieves Seise, who in 2013 founded the group Reunification of Puerto Rico with Spain. "With autonomy Puerto Rico could have sufficient powers to boost the economy and attract foreign investment."

Any ideas for a type of carpet for stairs? So far, score is Christy 3 (one with Hobbit foot) and husband 1 (now icing big toe) from slipping down cheap pile carpet down effing stairs. Yes, thirty years living at sea level in Florida had its good points, like no stairs. Either there is a demon on the mid-stair, we are klutzy in higher altitude, (not drinking on any fall), stupid carpet gets like glass on edge as cheap, etc. If it is ripped up not solid hardwood. So think we will have to go carpet.
Right now would pay for the best pad (there is virtually none as, we think, they got cheapest carpet before sale) and carpet...and have read NOT to get Berber.

Evenin' Christy. We have a strip of high pile carpet on our wood steps (it's really old and ugly and we need to replace it) with a decent pad underneath so that your feet really sink in. I think that helps a lot. But if it's wearing bare, it's gonna get slick. We're lucky that ours isn't doing that, as it's 20 years old. I guess we both need to spend more than we want to get the good stuff!

Wow, so Bret Stephens really has transformed into an asshat. Heard (read?)him recently on Trump and it was just clueless outraged arrogant snivelling. And just that one excerpt suffices to conclude that he is as out of touch as he appeared. Poor ol' Bret cannot even imagine himself in a small country with a distinctive culture and sketchy finances to whom a real refugee - er, economic migrant - flood would be disastrous. That's one characteristic of almost all the ignorant bigots like Stephens and everyone else cheerleadingunwise, historically avoided, ill-considered mass migration - utterly innocent of reasonable, practical considerations.
Too bad. He used to be a decent columnist. Though I have not read columnists too much for decades, so few are worth even the small effort.
And without even reading the Sorman piece, WTF? Fellow apparently is not very familiar with any relevant topic (30s Jewry, refugees, Syria, or the Middle East).
Refugee matters are not rocket science, but there are some things to know (on all aspects). Refugee flows driven by neccessity do not show large proportions of unaccompanied able-bodied adult males. Ahemm.
The ignorant, bigoted, arrogant moral narcissism of the limitless mass migration fetishists has reached a new high. They are just as dangerous, and just as vile, as conventional race-baiters, and ought to be treated the same.

I have worked with a few... arrogance... and a few from other islands who pretend they are PR for some reason. Maybe a hispanic caste mindset.One guy, when asked about the PR plebiscite, basically, "Why would I fricken care, I haven't lived there for over twenty years. Do you care about politics in Wisconsin anymore?" But that was the only one (hispanic) who would not go at length about how much better it is where they don't live anymore.

Last time I read a WSJ article was a few years ago, waiting room/dentist's office. Wife was there. Headline about (?) antibiotic-resistant TB/something rising in the US. Lead-in/color case was a nurse who volunteered in Africa every year, brought it back. I said "oh this will be fun, let's see how far in before they mention the real issue".
Sure enough, jump page, I dunno paragraph 25 or something. Something about most of the US cases being found in southwest border areas. That was it. Not even an allusion to the obvious reason for this pattern/geography!
Of course the editorial board is coco-bananas stupid and racist about mass illegal migration without assimilation (MIMWA). And, most entertainingly, for the "Wall Street Journal", economically illiterate.

See, the natural liberal tendency toward anti-colonialism causes them to view interracial relationships from the viewpoint that the man conquers the woman. A black man "conquering" a white woman is merely evening the score, while a white man "conquering" a black woman is perpetuating the oppression.
Black women have great difficulty with dating these days, because they tend to be better educated and better paid than black men but it's frowned upon by both blacks and liberal whites for them to date white men, who tend to be on more equal footing with them.
Liberals prefer it this way, in large part because single women are easier to keep on the Democrat plantation.

Met a guy whose parents were exiled White Russians living in Harbin in the 30s when he was a little kid. He recalled in great detail all the Russian/expat families being notified (door to door) by Japanese military that they were expected to attend the procession of Pu Yi in his car (one of those Buicks?), in their Sunday best.

Sure there are cultural differences, but being romantically involved with someone should not be a project, regardless of race. Or else, you're doing it wrong. The other person is just another human being. But I guess even saying that nowadays is racist.
And apparently white supremacy just attaches itself to white people, no matter what. Jeez. Anyway, clearly, this chick feels deep down inside that she is superior to non whites and feels guilty or feigns feeling guilty about it.
We nonwhite people are humans too, you daft dummy.

U.S.. Much like with the Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana
islands, and the minor outlaying islands, citizenship at birth is due to
statute.
American Samoa, for example does not have this and they are American Nationals, but not citizens.

Mostly because no conservative party has dared to describe a moral basis for metered immigration.
Our Betters in every country have failed miserably to annuciate the morality and the basic humanity in borders.
Have you ever heard a reason to oppose open borders outside of the much-decryed 'nationalist' spiel?
Reagan admitted he got rolled on the '86 amnesty, but the GOP did absolutely nothing to rectify that error.
Nothing to the point of passing the '96 error. Or the multiple flops thereafter.
C'est la vie.

I'll just say this (and hope it doesn't drag out again):
If that little piece of wire was hot enough to heat your tile floor upstairs, it's already on fire.
The timer switch your electrician should want to install simply replaces the on/off switch the tenant uses now to turn on the heat lamp.
It'll only stay on for 15 max at a time. (Think of the dial switch in hotel bathrooms).
Good luck, and let us know what comes of it.

and to work with the Benghazi Committee, asking that her hearing be public so that the American people can hear their questions and her answers.
LOL. The balls on that Cankled Cow ... she refused to attend the first Benghazi hearings claiming that she was jetting around somewhere as SoS, not doing much of anything that anyone could figure out, and just couldn't be available to testify to the committee.
Of course, she only got away with that because of the traitorous, collaborating sacks of shit in the Vichy GOP who let her skip the hearing. And they also let Petraeus off the hook, too, for the same hearings because Barky's junta had just filed charges against him for being a counter-revolutionary, which meant that he could never testify again to Congress by things he had done when he was part of the revolutionary junta ...
Funny that Shrillary is bringing this stuff up again ... not that any of these nutless, treasonous halfwit GOPers are going to do anything about any of it.

The (darkly) hilarious accounts of insufferable, demanding "refugees" do not denote some unique character flaws of those migrating from the MidEast (really), but they *do* confirm that most of these people are economic migrants, *not* refugees (which has a definition, both in international law and of course in US statutes).
Only ungrateful benficiaries of US aid I can recall were - get this - Russians. Many were great (friend had an amazing story about bringing aid to an elderly WWII Soviet veteran in Moscow). But the russkis started getting picky and then reverted to their usual suspicious nature.
You see they were completely unaware of anything like "best by (date)" markings on food or pharmaceuticals. Thanks to generous donation programs with Big Pharma, a lot of the pharma used in aid programs was "late dated" - but always in the meaningless sense of the concept (as most pharma and non-fresh food actually is). Once someone on the Russian side learned what "expiration dates" were *supposed* to signify, they got indignant - "you're giving us yourtrash!!!". Nothing of the sort, of course. But, Russians (recent ex-Soviet Russians, that is).
We ended up specifying no expiration dates on the food commodities when procuring them. This was all non-perishable stuff and was going to be used very quickly, but ...... And I had an interesting inside look at the whole process of expiration dates and what they mean/don't mean, working with USDA on the issue.

For some reason they can't leave well enough alone. They feel some overwhelming quasi-religious duty to contaminate everything with their pet causes.

I've read a complaint about the movie Casion, which I love, comes off too much like a documentary. I never understood what that meant until I watched Narcos. Long before it ended, I got the feeling that even with the documentary-like narrative exposition, the series lacked drama and felt padded.
If you have a series that makes taking down the most enormously successful and insanely brutal drug kingpin in history trite and boring - you have failed. This first season should either have been half as long in the narration style, or twice as long in a dramatic style, but as is it is the worst of both worlds.
I loved Blow and Cocaine Cowboys, and I wanted to like this - just didn't - at all. I am glad you did though. Honestly, it is a fascinating subject.
Didja like FBI informant paperwork on Ronald Reagan that didn't tie into anything in the series? Boy howdy, that was a treat!

There are specs on various fixtures, such as recessed lighting (and similiar types of things). They need so much air space, and there are wattage limits. You can take a perfectly fine fixture and install it wrong, say with insulation packed up too close and have it get too hot.

If I reboot to WinXP in my old hard drive, everything runs tickety-boo.

When we first bought this house, I changed out a bunch of light fixtures -- and many of them said in the installation instructions, "existing wiring must be capable of XXX, YYY" -- which lead me into this big research thing. Turns out, in the Bad Old Days, lighting wiring was supposed to be ROBUST, so they didn't specify bupkis on the fixture -- but in Modern Times, it is assumed that your fly-by-night condo-builder wired your lights with 18-gauge aluminum speaker wire and the insurance companies made all the light fixture makers load up on warnings.

My prob is def. Comcast. I switched for better speed. While I did get 3 times the speed for the same price The connectivity was an issue from the start. I used to use the vpn only for banking and when on wi-fi at home and especially out-and-about.
It looked like a problem with the Comcast DNS servers but even after pointing my router to OpenDns and Google DNS servers it still happens.
I realized it never happens when connecting via vpn. That's the good part. The bad part is if I complain to my lames-ass ISP now there will be NO telling them it's their fault. They're idiots enough as it is. Not raising hell right off the bat was a strategic error on my part.

OK ThunderB, shame on me but since you're here and responsive, another jag question.
Of course I know that the political/geopolitical/media aspects of the Abu Ghraib case were hallucinogenically absurd from the outset. Never found an Iraqi who could understand what the big deal was supposed to be. And all in all, Iraqis remained baffled (and even suspicious, pretty hilarious but understandable) by the hullabaloo and court martial.
But from a jag perspective, was there any misconduct from the authority's side? Seemed like the sentences were extreme. But I welcome being corrected on that.

There were various flavors (or flavours, for those keeping up), including "California Style Red", which I bought. It's 6.3 liters of kit but makes 23 liters of wine. I anticipate that I'll put this batch of plonk up sometime next week -- it won't surprise me if it's closer to pruno than Husch Pinot Noir 2009 when it's done, but it should be interesting.

The one thing I haven't heard anyone notice about the donald is his appeal to people who wish to be allowed to be proud of and defensive of our own country again. Simple concept. He is called a master marketer. I'm not endorsing him here, just enjoying the show, but imagine living in a trailer with a pickup, beer and hounddog and you might be screaming, "Hell yeah!"

A high school kid was hiding his teacher and Caviezel's character in his apartment, and the boy said he had been doing his reading. They showed the book, and it was the Count of Monte Cristo! They showed Caviezel's face after that and I imagined he was trying not to laugh or roll his eyes. Was a fun moment.

I haven't watched PoI but has anyone on the show accused Caviezel's character of having a messiah complex?
I always do like those sorts of things. Castle is full of Firefly references. And there was that show Las Vegas where James Caan is an ex-CIA guy that runs a Casino. One of the episodes he goes to Europe and uses the fake name of "Traherne." The last name of his character "Mississippi" from El Dorado.

I've seen a lot of property owners get stuck with utility bills that were supposed to be paid by the tenant.
Some landlords have started to get the water/gas/electric bills sent straight to them, and then they get the money from the tenant so that they don't get a big surprise from the utility company when the tenant moves out.

Speaking of sub-machine guns, the Reising on display at the museum where I volunteer may be an odd duck. It has the wire stock (M55) intended for paratroops and armor crews, but the serial number, bluing, and other features (number of fins on barrel etc.) indicate "commercial" model. Though, apparently, this distinction was an after-market one, not one made by the manufacturer.
Also, I read a post from some CA guy who said he's getting a "papasha" (PPSh-41) - a semi-auto CA-legal version with a barrel extension. OK. To each their own. Having a real one sounds like fun, but a mutilated version?

Heat can be internal, a problem with the switch itself, or loose connections. There are some jack-leg idiots who can't seem to tighten things properly no matter what. Tell them to tighten them, and the end wringing off the screws. Loose, or overtorque, no in between. Idiots are everywhere. Anyone with any sense anymore thinks they're too good for any kind of manual labor or whatever they consider beneath them, leaving only the idiots who at best should be supervised at all times to do all the "grunt work".
I've replaced most of those old mercury quiet switches in my parents' house because of the exact same problem. And tip, as of late, the "residential grade" electrical devices are becomming utter el-cheapo crap. It's a shame. I only use the good industrial grade stuff. Even the "commercial grade" can be fairly cheap nowadays.

I agree that Hungary should have the right to let in who they want and keep out who they don't want. But the "nationalism" problems date back to before the recent refugee problems. iirc, the national Hungarian elections in the last few years have been in a decidedly darker direction. Given that some of Hungary's "nationalism" problems are connected to a region that changed hands with Romania a few times during the Twentieth Century, Hungarian nationalism bears a bit more careful watching than, say, Danish "nationalism".
Hopefully their entirely legitimate and legal concerns about the refugees don't spill over into non-refugee areas.

SMFH, I hesitate to say anything at all, but I have made similar comments here.

Mercury, being a metal, is a good conductor of electric current, but it's not a great conductor. Conductivity is a little less than 2% that of copper, so it's not surprising that mercury switches could get warm.

junior, I just don't think any "darkness" in internal Hungarian politics is relevant to the topic of mass illegal migration without assimilation. Hungary certainly has had recent dark chapters (though such things were the dominant teen-craze, so to speak, in central Europe at that time, ahemm). But if the country is showing an icky side, then all the better that the saintly migrants, er, refugees be spared the abuse they'd get there, right? I mean even Bret Stephens should be glad of it.
Besides that - based solely on that small excerpt Maet posted - Bret seems to need some updates on Germany itself. Assimilation is already a problem for earlier waves of immigrants. And no, Bret - even in Germany (Germany!) - assimilation is part of succesful immigration. Not a curiosity or a crime.
Besides which, Germany under the ridiculous asshat Schroeder bears a very heavy burden of responsibility for lots of evil, and lots of interference with those trying to limit/stop evil, in the MidEast. Leaving aside the 20th Century matters altogether, considering only recent issues withIraq and Iran, Germany has much to be ashamed of and little to be proud of. Ill-advised acceptance of mass migration does nothing to clean up that disgraceful record.

It's all a game of temperature. The lowest common denominator for electrical devices is 60C (in some apps, that is 75C, but for the branch circuit stuff like light fixtures and receptacles, it's 60C -- although you will see light fixtures and such that demand a minimum of 75C conductors). And most insulation is all at least 90C now. Hell, the last roll of THHN I had had 105C class stamped on it, I think.
60C is 140F, 75 is 167F.
So, as a rough rule of thumb, if something that ain't supposed to be a heat soruce, like wall switches and receptacle, is getting hotter than 140F, then it needs to be seen about.

And that's a pretty solid point. The globalists always try to make nationalism into something villainous, and tried to blame Hitler's nationalism for the evils of the Nazi regime. Totally not the socialism. Even though it got the exact same results as Soviet Socialism, Maoist Socialism, Cuban Socialism, Bolivarian Socialism, Khmer Socialism... and the list goes on and on. *eye roll*

I still own a space heater -- i.e. a small electric heater -- that I once fished out of a dumpster in college.
I was an interesting design: a circle of metal coils in the center with high resistance and which therefore get red-hot -- and behind them, a hemisphere of some shiny metal (Steel? Tin?) in a perfect parabolic curve. When you plug it in (no on/off switch) the coils heat up and BAM that parabolic mirror literally shoots the heat out across the room. You can have it 15 feet away from you and it will keep you warm to the point of too warm.
The plug wire is very old-school -- black fabric wrapped.
So anyway, a while ago I retired it and put it in the garage, and when I did I finally noticed writing stamped under the base.
Year of manufacture?
1912.
And it still works. Flawlessly, like the day it was made.
Unreal.

It turned out that knowing the principle behind how barometers works almost ruined my life.

Dollars to donuts, zombie, that fabric-wrapped cord is insulated with death-dealing asbestos. Really no hazard at all, since it will be long-fiber asbestos, not the short-fiber stuff, which, if airborne fibers are inhaled might cause lung cancer, but of course, the State of California "knows" better. So keep it on the QT.
I have a grilled-cheese sammich maker that uses an asbestos-wrapped cord. That was the standard back in the day for any heating appliance, kettle, toaster, iron, heater, grill, etc.

While I concede that it was extremely well-made -- and a brilliantly simple design concept -- the reason I retired it is that in practice the heater could be extremely dangerous. Not only did it give me first-degree burns more than once, even though I was on the other side of the room from it, but under certain conditions I'm quite sure it could ignite some easily ignitable material in the household. The damn thing was like a flame-thrower of heat. And yet it only drew a small amount of electricity to achieve this. Genius and terrible at the same time.

What you describe is called a "bowl heater". They used to be commonplace. Does yours have the heater element hard-wired in, or is the heating element a porcelain cone wrapped in coily wire, with an Edison screw base like a standard light bulb?

Hat, Mosin Nagants. Oldest one I have is 1925. Amazing to think what was going on when that was produced (Izhevsk arsenal). Of course, simpler/different than a broomhandle.
Talk about built to last.
The rule is don't ever prop up your Mosin rifle. It might fall. No worries about damaging it- it's what it mightdestroy during its fall that's the issue.

It's hard-wired in. No removable or moving parts at all, and no on/off switch either. Just a coil of wire around a central porcelain "core," in front of a parabolic mirror.

Hint: NEVER upgrade your thermostat in CA. They will try to install a "smart" thermostat which allows the govt to not only monitor your heater use, but also allows them to shut it off if they deem you're using it too much!
Heater guy says such thermostats are now required by law in Calif. I kicked him out of my house and kept my old Honeywell circular one.

It's extremely unlikely your problem is due to any recent updates. The number of machines that would be affected would make for headlines on the tech sites and even some mainstream news outlets. It's vanishingly rare for an update to break something without a LOT of people being affected.
Look into the driver for the NIC and see if that has changed any time recently.
Also, do you have any other devices connecting to the same router? The problem could be there and having more than one item trying to use the connection offers a means of troubleshooting. This time of year especially, the router could be overheating. Make sure it isn't stacked on other gear or under any other gear. If you have a second device, when the connection fails again, check and see if you can log into the router's firmware. If not, that's a strong indicator. If so, check the client table to see if it still thinks the other machine is connected.

I already have a replacement lined up, should I need one. I used the same strategy I use to still access standard incandescent lightblubs at any wattage of my desire, for 99 cents per four-pack, despite being banned and illegal:
Chinatown, baby!
If you know where to go, you can also get illegal thermostats in Chinatown.
Nobody ever bothers to inspect those stores (funky Chinatown general gadget shops, where nobody speaks a lick of English). They can and do sell whatever they want, completely ignoring any US or Calif regulations. I just love it!

Not so much a spoof as a rushed to market knock-off intended to sucker people into buying or renting because they can't quite remember the title.
It's worse in much of Asia. There you can make a sequel to somebody else movie without their permission. The copyright protection for titles is nearly non-existent. When Chow Yun Fat starred in the hit movie 'God of Gamblers,' there were no fewer then six 'God of Gamblers 2' released within a year, including the actual sequel with Chow Yun Fat. Those are just the ones I know of. There could have been many more.

For a barrel of laughs, look for all the fake sequels made to "Enter the Dragon" starring "Bruce Li," or "Bruce Le," or "Ace Lee," and so on. There must be about 20 of them at least. And most of them are just atrocious, filmed in Thailand or the Philippines and dubbed in Cantonese later. Half the guys don't even know fake movie-fu, much less actual kung fu.
Another series with numerous fraudulent "sequels" is the "Drunken Master" concept. My God, I never saw such blatant profiteering! "Return of Drunken Master, starring Jacie Chang!"

There is no router. Connected directly by ethernet cable to district wireless modem. Never any issues if I run PC with WinXP on other hard drive.
According to Windoze, I have the latest and greatest driver for the network adapter already installed.

There has to be a router somewhere up the line. I'm not sure what you mean by 'district wireless modem.' Is this a metropolitan wireless connection, shared with cell phone traffic? If so, that is almost certainly the router and DHCP server handing out the addresses to your machine, or it is passing through traffic to another server that is performing the job.
When Windows says it's the latest driver, they mean it's the most recent one submitted to the Window Hardware Quality Labs. Only WHQL drivers will be offered by Windows Update but they are by no means the latest. There is cost and time involved in getting a driver through WHQL, so a lot of companies only do it for what they think is a milestone or especially stable. A lot of big corporate IT shops won't let anything else on their machines for a number of reasons, including liability.
If you look in the Device Manager, you should be able to determine the actual manufacturer of the networking hardware and they may have a newer driver on their site that corrects the issues. Likewise, an older drive may also be the fix. It may be lacking some newer features or have some bugs that were since fixed but the bugs won't necessarily matter to your circumstance.

The sequel had a couple of my favorite moments in HK movies. First, when gangster commandos attack his palatial estate, GoG and his visiting friend God of Guns, fight them off. At one point Guns is out but Gambler has a pair of magazine tucked in his belt. Guns leap up and across the room while Gambler throws the magazines like daggers into the waiting receptacles on Gun's guns, whereupon he starts killing the enemy at a ferocious pace.
It's like the movie was defying the audience to disbelieve.
A short while later, Gambler and Guns are interrogating the captured leader of the attackers, generally kicking the crap out of him and then shouting, "Are you still hungry?"
We were baffled for a moment and then turned and said in unison, "Have you had enough?"

Here are the four things you need to know about Hillary Clinton's email use during her time at the State Department.
Hillary takes responsibility for her decision to use a personal account, and the challenges it has created.
Her use of a private email account was allowed under State Department rules.
Nothing she sent or received was marked classified.
"She provided all of her work-related emails to the State Department ..." except the ones that Sidney Blumenthal provided to Congress.

Was the corrosion and leakage? But the phone was still working and I'd never seen anything like this. It was brown and had no discernible odor I'd associate with battery innards, nor did there appear to be any point of origin on the battery itself. I grabbed a tissue and found it wiped right off. Then I realized, it was chocolate. Despite her protestations, I can recall several occasions when she dropped the phone, causing the cover to pop and the pieces brought to me for reassembly. My guess is she had something melting in her hands during such an incident but got the cover back on by herself for once.
This is why I don't feel I've missed out from not having children.
Posted by: Epobirs at September 09, 2015 05:06 AM (IdCqF)
Heh. Moms.
I tried to tell mine to text me for non-essential stuff sometimes, but "my phone plan doesn't have text. My phone won't do that. I don't want to pay money for that. I don't even know how."
After a few days, I convince her to call her provider.
They sent her a new (flip)phone for free, lowered her plan by $10 per month, increased her phone minutes, and told her to come see me to teach her how to text.
Now, instead of calling once or twice a day, she calls once or twice a day & texts me 3 times per day.
Gotta love it. I do, actually. I cherish every day I have with her.

They are not what they seem
One might try to put A hex on you
Sisterly mysteries
Or just tattoos and jewelry
How they do it is nothing new
By and by
A stitch in time
Waitin' for the night to come
Living their whole lives just making love and having fun
A wise man and A fool
Who should serve
And who should rule
Everything happens as it should
So Take a look around
And ask yourself
Do I see nothing good
All you worldly wizards
In Your ragged finery
Never having nothing to say
What will you do
What will become of you
When your magic fades away
Getting by by staying high
And Waiting for the light to come
To save us from damnation God sent his only son
A wise man and A fool
Who should serve
And who should rule
Everything happens as it should
So Take a look around
And ask yourself
Do I see nothing good

I'm a woman of wealth and station
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's donation
And I was 'round when Lewinsky
Had her moment of public shame
Made damn sure that my husband
Got off scott-free and secured fate
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Bowed to Putin and his ministers
The reset button was in vain
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a woman of wealth and spite
And I laid traps for Ambassadors
Who get killed when they reached Benghazi
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
