Overnight Open Thread (27 Nov 2015)
"It is a big resource drain. Yes it is. Almost overwhelming," Coats said when asked about the demand placed on the FBI. "There will be a lot of people over the Thanksgiving weekend that will not be enjoying turkey with their family. They'll be out there providing security for the American people and the threat is particularly high during this holiday period."
So the FBI is strained as it is and the President wants to bring in more "refugees" and law enforcement won't even be able to ask about a person's religious affiliations or beliefs? That's a recipe for a disaster.
Weather Gal Dress
"Where's your wife?" an officer asked. "I don't have one," the man replied. "Where’s your girlfriend?" he pressed. "I don’t have one," he said. Police told the man neighbours had heard the screams, the threats to kill, the dull thud of flung furniture. "Come on mate, what have you done to her?" the officer asked. "It was a spider," the man replied sheepishly. "A really big one." "What about the woman screaming?" "Yeah sorry, that was me," he said. "I really, really hate spiders."Boots On The Ground So how's that no boots on the ground thingy going? How the U.S. campaign in Iraq has escalated with a new weapon: rocket artillery. If Every Store Was Honest About Black Friday Ads
I said, "Why don't you put a sign in your window, listing all the taxes they customers are paying on a gallon of gas?" He said, "That's illegal in Illinois. I would get fined and could lose my gas station!"Dog Video

Try the Water Method:
Saute pan, add number of bacon slices to fit pan, add enough water to barely cover bacon. High heat in this case, boil the water off.
When the water is almost gone, reduce heat to medium, cook until crispy done. You may have to flip or push the pieces around, so stay on the station.

They got a match from the Turkish port of Ceyhan. The authors make clear their statistical analysis is not proof, but it is consistent with what they predict you'd see if very cheap ISIS oil was making it out into the larger market through Ceyhan.
The port is operated and controlled by a Turkish state-run company. Erdogan and his Islamists are up to their eyeballs in running ISIS oil. The only ones they care to fight are the Kurds.
Attaturk is rolling over in his grave, with all the pains he took to keep the Islamists out of power.

I was writing a story about human infants being raised as litter mates with an apex predator, and I wanted it understood by the reader that the human infants had feed with the infant predator, and the infant predator had fed with the human mother, but I was thinking it was too extreme for the readers.
The goal was to have the human and the predator grow up as brother/sister.
Is that why my book won't sell? I went too far?

This year at Thanksgiving, we had
our faithful dog (m),
my sister's little "comfort" dog (f),
her son's medium-size dog (m),
and my son's medium dog and large dog (f's).
That's a new record for number of dogs at Mom's at once! Sister's little one and nephew's rescue fellow were allowed inside!! Special relaxed rules for Sister's side, I guess. Hmph. The little one even got up on Mom's chaise lounge with her. Really cute, actually.
My son & company went home last night, so just three dogs for the leftover feasting. We had to put ours and nephew's dogs in the garage because it's cold and rainy.
There was an occasional growlfest, but no violence or blood drawn.
Fortunately, the same can be said of all the relatives!

I remember driving past an occasion pro-life protestor holding up signs decrying Planned Parenthood on my way in. Peaceful folks who will now be smeared as ultra-violent psychopaths who need to have their guns taken away pronto. Not like those peace loving Muslims who are so cuddly and warm in their burkas.

Even better bake up all of your bacon into pre-cooked bacon and then just heat a serving for 45 seconds.
Broiler pans work good so the water and grease drain off and the bacon cooks. and even though its fatty bacon a bit of cooking oil spray on the pan and tray makes cleanup easier.

I'm out with another couple, enjoying a nice meal. To my side is another table occupied by "captain of industry" who I know quite well and have had business dealings with,
Somehow, at our table, we got around to talking about the current state of the union and how we seem to be careening from from social calamity to another. I made mention of the "works" of George Soros, his influence here in the US as well as around the world and that, in my opinion, he's a destabilizing influence where ever he's putting his money to work.
I share my meager knowledge of his past and his connections to elements antithetical to the interests of classical western thought. My companions were unaware of his "dealings". Our conversation moved on to more prosaic topics and the name of Soros never came up again.
The other table finished their meal and got up to leave. The Captain of Industry stopped at my chair to say he knew George Soros and played golf with his good friend Stan Druckenmiller. And that I was completely out of my depth regarding my depiction of Mr. Soros as well as his influence and regard for the USA.
There was the veiled / implied threat that I was or would be persona non grata in any future dealings within my community on a personal or professional level.
I'm normally circumspect in my pronouncements publicly. And here, in a moment of candor, in the company of friends I'm undone.
I'm kicking myself for being open in my opinions, and I'm pissed that I'm going to pay a potentially huge price for being right.
I fear for my wife's business and my kids beginning their careers, the guy is that powerful.
I hate myself for wanting to turn the clock back and have a clean slate.
Fuck...

Holy fucking shit I'm reading about Romanian communist leader Nicolae
Ceausescu (the guy they shot with his wife on Christmas day back in
1989) and there was a mining strike that really pissed him off. He met
with the strikers and later on got rid of the leaders by making them
undergo five minute chest x-rays so they'd get cancer and die.

That's unfortunate, but have faith in the power of truth. Soros is evil $#!+ from everything we know.
Too bad you couldn't stand up and reply, "You, sir, might strive to inform yourself and vet your golfing companions more closely."
It can be scary to be frank in public, online or off.
Twenty years ago, I'd written a couple of fairly mild (IMO) letters to the editor of the local rag. My son was arrested (on bogus charges of beating me up!), his lawyer overheard the D.A. ask if his Dad (me) was the person who wrote those angry (or something like that) letters to the newspaper?
Small town, and we'd just recently moved back with our family, were trying to start a business. I've never written the paper since.

Here's the thing -- there are many, many, many more people out there who think Soros is a danger to our Republic than people who personally know Soros and play golf with Stan Druckenmiller. I wouldn't be surprised if the ratio were something like 20 million to 200. And the last thing that those 200 people want is for that 20 million to grow to 30 million. If they can intimidate you with veiled threats, they might certainly do so -- but making a bigger deal out of it is contrary to his interests.

That is true but it is not all on the coach. The QB is erratic and prone to throwing bad passes. It's hard to win any game when the QB throws 4 INT's. Plus the refs had a couple of questionable calls to be honest that went against NEB.

There are several taxed taxes. Sales tax is computed after excise taxes are added on gasoline, for instance. And in California, the sales tax is levied on the beverage container deposit (and not refunded when you turn in the cans or bottles).

Of course, if you really want to go Breitbart on it -- write a letter to the Captain of Industry asking if he would ask his buddy Soros about a certain small list of well-documented facts, including links to source documents. Y'know, stuff like donating at least $3.5M to the Tides Foundation (a "donor-advised fund" that supported "Occupy Wall Street", among other things). Perhaps he should advise his buddy Soros that lying down with dogs generally results in association with fleas.

If someone has SSDI or other government monthly check that now comes on a card they can spend it as they wish. And around here there are "coats for colorado, donate to energy assistance, food banks as well as the SNAP, low income housing etc " so the average EBT person probably has more "disposable" income than hard working folks what have to pay for all their necessities after taxes.

The first challenge was blind trust, kinda of trite at this point, but why did our protagonist just blindly accept a 'retreat with the most fabu tech guy in dah world?'
Second, stupidity of mankind. He wasn't very rational interviewing the subjects, was he. ... Now this may not be the best example, but I'm not a fan of plots that are pushed forward by the stupidity of the 'protagonist.' And by 'not a fan,' I mean loath.

And... your 'first challenge' holds water, but ask yourself: let's imagine Mark Zuckerberg held a contest for one "lucky* Facebook employee to spend a week with him on a new "secret project." Do you have any doubt that about 95% of FB's drones would enter the contest? I don't. :-)

I would also advise you document every meeting you have with clients. Begin a journal, if you don't already have one, date it, write down their names, and jot down conversations with clients as soon as you finish the meeting and they leave. You may even want to send an email to said clients with a run down of what was discussed, in order to maintain a paper trail.
If CoI decides to screw with you, by claiming you don't do your job, or you do things that are inappropriate, you have a written record of your dealings with clients that can refute that, and perhaps help you in litigation, if it comes to that.
I used to work for the government. I got burned pretty badly (was told to abort my baby if I wanted to keep my career, by my female boss. It got ugly.) I learned that the only way to keep jackals such as these at bay is to document them to hell and back.
And then, don't worry about it. Live your life. Love your wife and kids, and don't waste a precious moment of your time with them on those jerks. They aren't worth it.

Army's "Attack'em" is a wondrous weapon, maybe even a Wonder Weapon.
But what it's not, is, Rocket Artillery. It's a rocket.
Rocket artillery would involve a fired shell that then ignited a propellant.
I think several powers played with rockets that fired from the barrel, but it eroded the barrel pretty fast. Rocket fuels are some harsh shit.
I haven't heard much in the highly-filtered combat front news of the smart artillery shells. Last I heard, they were scary accurate, had good range, and cost $50K a shot. I'd been hoping for some Wal-Martization on those.

I'm just sayin' -- I spent a lot of time dealing with attorneys back in the corporate world, and there is one technique that can be remarkably effective because it runs contrary to most people's impulses: when faced with a dispute that has the potential to cause you significant discomfort, make it bigger. Rope in more parties and make the consequences worse for everyone.
That way, instead of A and B yelling and snarling at each other, you also have C, D, E, and F going "simmer down! I never asked to have anything to do with this!"
Hell, flip it on its head -- write to Soros and tell him that CoI's thuggish tactics are making all the conspiracy theories more plausible. Y'know -- Penthouse Letters style: "I've heard so many wild-assed theories about your being behind every Socialist bad idea of the last three decades, and maintained a certain amount of skepticism because they seemed so outlandish -- but a recent encounter with the closet Totalitarian CoI has me reconsidering my position. Are you really funding every anti-American wackjob in the world?"

Haven't watched it yet, however. I *do* want to hold for myself a weekly series of epics, though. I also have Lawrence of Arabia, Ben-Hur, Once Upon a Time in the West, Once Upon a Time in America (the longest movie I own: Sergio Leone's director's cut, which runs *251* freakin' minutes), and Heaven's Gate.

Dear’s age has been reported to as both 57 and 59, but public records indicate that he is 57. His family is from South Carolina, according to public records and his father’s obituary.
According to court records, Dear has an arrest record in both North and South Carolina. He has been convicted of several traffic offenses, but has been arrested several times on more serious charges.
His convictions include seat belt violations, driver’s license violations, operating a vehicle in an unsafe mechanical condition and driving a non-registered vehicle.
Dear was charged in Colleton, South Carolina, with two counts of cruelty to animals in 2002, but was found not guilty in a bench trial.
He was also charged in 2002 in Colleton with charges of “peeping Tom” and eavesdropping. Those charges were dismissed."
Hmmmmm. Seems like a garden-variety criminal so far.

I do know Sergio Leone went on a personal jihad against Clint Eastwood when he was on the 1985 promotional junket for "Once Upon a Time in America," saying all this stuff about how while Clint poses, DeNiro acts, etc etc etc. Apparently they had a big falling out when Leone wanted Clint for "Once Upon a Time in the West" in 1968, and Eastwood refused.

I'm 55 and I'd never seen "Bullet" all the way through from beginning to end (always just saw bit n pieces of it). AMC had it on a few days ago uncut and with no commercials. I got to the last bloody minute of the film, and the wife called from the kitchen and asked that I come fix something that she needed and it couldn't wait, so I missed the last scene. Oh well. Better luck next time.

Currently it's a separate account (although AT&T tried to convince me ...) and I don't want to lose it.

Delta rings, delta rings... OH YEAH, that's what you have if you don't have free-float tubes, right?
Yeah, there is a tool for that, but always a pain.
I have a new tube I need to install, I'm actually nervous about how fine the threads on the tube itself are. I feel like it's gonna cross-thread if I look at it funny. But no delta rings!
Well, I say new, I got it a year ago. Some things I don't get to as quick as others.

That's hardly unexpected where our day-to-day pressures to render that AGW BS less existential. But public support is by no means the only element that might lead to a climate deal that's whatever - tough, fake, practical, bullshit ... whatever. All elites and leaders need to get to 'whatever' is sufficient ROOM to do what THEIR consensus tells them is simultaneously required & politically possible.
What I think we're seeing over time, as we alive all get older and the live die out at a rate that's less than the new people entering life, is a pattern of distinctly higher TOLERANCE for what elites and leaders do with the intention, illusory or real doesn't matter, positive vs negative likewise, divined in their perceived consensus. That's not the same as greater SUPPORT for what any such consensus occasions government bureaucracies into seeking to enforce.
How can that be different? Well, one avenue would be in the lack of any strong correlation between that trend - which may not last very long, in the sense that nothing much in the way of fashion lasts all that long - and strongly, broadly based populist movement against that perceived consensus or the resulting policies, laws and regulations. That's what I think - for what it's worth; it's just one reader's opinion, after all - is actually going on: more and more in our population have in essence given up on their opposition to a consensus among political leaders in government and social elites to doing ... whatever.
There may actually be short run political consequences to what that consensus leads to, but whatever happens in the long run is going to be a function of whether the apparent CONSEQUENCES of just carrying on and doing nothing become more existentially alarming - thereby leading to an effective DOWN-grading of this as an issue that movements coalesce against, or indeed for.
My own view is that ASSUMING we as people quasi-organized into countries - after all, just politically organized social units - end up doing anything major (which I think is inevitable) AND ALSO effective as seriously ameliorating the growing crisis, at least to the point where SOME decent percentage of our species survives this century we're in now (I think that a survival rate of 10 percent of the current population is sufficient to at least allow for the possibility of longer term prospects for humans, but also that any percentage beyond 50 is fanciful), that would be surprising.
Those of us who are most likely to expire over the next 20 years will, in cosmic terms, be entitled to count ourselves, in the net result, quite fortunate. I sure as hell don't want to be there to see the worst of what's about to happen, and I don't envy the youth of my children and grandchildren that's likely to qualify as least some of them for that 'privilege'.

Yes it is. It's called "Dry Loop" or "Naked" DSL. I believe that they are required to let you get this without having phone service.

I thought so, but I've been out of the DSL sector for many years, so I was not sure.
The $9.95/month Vonnage deal beats the AT&T $42.00+/month ripoff, so Monday I make the change.

Phone = "Unshielded Twisted Pair" from a "Central Office". In our case, the CO was a cabinet about 2'x4'x4' about three blocks away for a long while -- but, now, I expect it to be a module hanging off a telephone pole about 9"x9"x20", that connects to the rest of AT+T's plant using fiber. The UTP cable used to be CAT2, but is now likely to be CAT5 (capable of running Gigabit Ethernet).
Yeah, AT+T stuff connects via the telephone line.....but it's not the same telephone line as granny used.
