Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Overnight Open Thread (12 Dec 2015)OPM Breach I still know people who haven't been notified yet. OPM took 5 months to notify victims of data breach. And people still want government to run healthcare and every other facet of their lives? Obamacare Eff you Harry Reid and your unions. You wanted this POS so enjoy. Reid seeks parting gift for unions in tax deal. How about we just do away with Obamacare and get "relief" for the millions of Americans who have been negatively impacted by this horrible piece of legislation instead of just focusing on your union cronies Harry? Christmas Music This is a fantastic medley from Two Steps From Hell. Starts out a little slow but damn does it get epic.Nobody is making conscious decisions about who is wanted and who is not, about how much immigration to accept and what kind to prioritize-not even for the portion of U.S. migration conducted according to law, much less for the larger portion that is not. Nor is there much understanding of what has happened after it has happened. A simple question like, "How many immigrants are in prison?" turns out to be extraordinarily hard to answer. Poor information invites excessive fears, which are then answered with false assurances and angry accusations. Is it too much to ask to at least do some basic analysis and due diligence and not be labeled racist or something? Super Bug Well this does not sound good.

Aloha and mahalo nui loa for the Overnight thread. Coming up on the tenth anniversary of my heart attack and quad bypass surgery at age 44, went in 11 hours after the mild attack had (getting the mail if you can believe it). I actually said the words I'm not having a heart attack to my wife. Went in three days before Christmas, so there was no one to do the surgery. Went home on New Years Eve and spent the next three years in deep depression out of work. Still in depression, fired three years ago because of my medical problems, waiting to see if my appeals to SSDI will ever be processed, next June is the best bet my lawyer says. Moral of the story is get your ass to the ER, you will go to the head of the line. Seek mental rehab as well as physical. PTSD is a sneaky, viscious bastard and will lie to you.

America's immigration challenge: policymakers seldom ask whether their arrival would benefit the United States.
Further, no one ever answers the question of the cost of the open border / amnesty plans. I've found that asking an interlocutor if he can honestly describe the cost to a proposal, you will quickly discover those who are interested in actual policy debates and those who only want to railroad through costly and damaging plans for personal gain. The open borders RINOs like Hewitt will never admit there is a cost. Ever. Posted by: weft cut-loop at December 12, 2015 10:41 PM (9YDUz) 99

So my new computer is coming in a week or so. What's the hordes consensus on anti-virus, browser, ad blockers, system tools (registry, etc)? I've been using Chrome on my old laptop and Avast but Avast has been pissing me off lately. I'm thinking of going the pay route with Webroot for anti-virus. I use Glary Utilities as well.
Posted by: CDR M Dual boot: Linux flavor for websurfing and then you really only have to worry about securing the browser. And Windont for your legacy programs. I use a flavor of Chrome called SRWareIron which purports to have locked down all of Google spying. YMMV. If you have to go Windont only: check out AVComparitives.org for the latest ratings on Anti virus products. I also run occasional scan via free online like Eset and Panda. I'd also load up Malwarebytes once a month. Make a boot disk with utilities. AVs I'd avoid: Kaspersky (almost certain they are FSB ) and any Chinese AVs like Baidu.

I've got the free versions of Malwarebytes and Avira on mine along with the cache-clearing freeware, CCleaner. The Avira has one minor corner popup whenever you boot up asking you to 'upgrade' to the pay version but once you've Xed it out, it doesn't appear again for the rest of the session; and Malwarebytes doesn't have anything even that unobtrusive.
My dad's 8.1 p.c. just has the AVG freeware on it. I also use NoScript 2.7 and Adblock Latitude 3.0.3.1 on my Pale Moon browser that's my main browser. And the tech guy my family uses was just over today for something else and I had him put the Adblock on my 8.1 netbook for using the Internet Explorer that I use on it. He said there wasn't' a version of NoScript available for IE when he looked for it at my request if IE is your preferred browser. Posted by: andycanuck at December 12, 2015 10:55 PM (QSnYu) 135

Do you know the way to San Jose?
---------- Well, first you take I-25 North until you get to Ft. Collins. Take the exit for Co 14 and go west until you get 287 North. Take 287 North all the way to Laramie, then jump on I 80 West. Stay on I-80 until you go over Donner Pass. Once you make to Colfax at the bottom of the pass turn around and go back. You didn't lose anything in California, and all they want is all your money. One other thing. If you decide not to take my advice and you wind up in San Francisco, don't drop your wallet.

Posted by: Old Blue at December 12, 2015 11:30 PM (9iR5/) There's an old story about a guy who dropped his wallet in San Francisco and, as you suggested, kicked it from Chinatown to his hotel, into the elevator (which was full of people), up to the seventh floor, down the hall to his room, and into the room. He then shut the door behind him and bent over to pick up the wallet, only to bump into the doorknob. They figured this all out from the "locked-room mystery" they were presented with after they scraped him off the sidewalk. It explained all the wear and contamination on the wallet's outer surface, his observed behavior, and the ballistics calculations that showed he must've been sprinting at top speed when he went out the window.

Posted by: Blanco Basura at December 13, 2015 12:12 AM (YJmuy) I like that she's watching them -- and (despite their being phony as all get-out) she watches them critically, against the experience of living here for 18 years. Since we bought the house, we've entirely painted the outside, entirely painted the inside, removed 1/3 of the ugly off-white wall-to-wall carpeting, cut a door into a wall and took over a section of hallway with a walk-in closet expansion (contractor), put a door from one bedroom into the garage (contractor), put a pull-down stair into the attic (contractor), removed all the blown-in crap insulation in the attic, had asbestos abatement remove all asbestos insulation from attic, installed batted fiberglass throughout attic, installed a 3/4" plywood deck everywhere in the attic taller than 18", used fencing material to cordon-off all of the attic under 18" tall, painted all of the attic cross-braces white so I'd stop banging my head on them, replaced the large 1950s sliding glass door with a double-paned double-french with sidelights, replaced the dining-room crank-out window with a bay window (contractor), had the brick hearth and brick fireplace face and bay window bottom faced with granite slab (contractor), replaced the concrete-slab back patio with pavers (contractor), replaced our wooden fence from the street (contractor), replaced our wooden fence with the neighbor (contractor), upgraded the wiring to modern code (grounding, ground-fault) (contractor), installed hot-and-cold running cat 5 and coax throughout (contractor), moved the furnace to the attic and upgraded to AC (contractor), moved the hot water heater from an internal closet to the garage (contractor), completely rebuilt the kitchen (permitted, no contractor, >$80K, nearly killed me)..... And so, every time someone on the show says, "dated fixtures" -- she snorts. Every time someone complains about the color of one wall, she mutters, "whiner." Every time someone goes, "oh, but the basement isn't finished", she does a facepalm. Posted by: cthulhu at December 13, 2015 12:35 AM (EzgxV) 316

I think I'm going to start e-mailing my Congress critters and start demanding that CO2 be reduced to 100 ppm. The former head of Greenpeace, a biologist and an AGW skeptic, stated that below 150 ppm CO2, all plants on land and in the ocean would cease growing. Of course I'll leave that part out.

Or the climate, or the environment. It's entirely a project to gather all power possible.

Posted by: ManWithNoParty at December 13, 2015 01:16 AM (uM1T1) One of us is being very upfront about using a manipulative literary technique to cause one of several desired reactions -- the other has used terms like "dickish", and had a post @355 that used "you" or "your" quite a bit. When you initially @317 requested that I "paragrapherate", my initial impulse was to explain the joke. [Note to self: Never, never, never, NEVER explain the joke.] Your initial impulse was to make it personal. For me, it's not personal. I intentionally used a literary technique that should drive most sane people to eventually bail out on a paragraph, but had just enough information that someone really interested might read to the end and go, "kewl!" That's all it is. And, BTW, once I get out of this neo-Socialist hellhole, and am living much closer to you (but more than a hundred miles away), I would be very interested in having a discussion about your vehicle business program -- to the point where I may want to franchise the model.

Posted by: irright at December 13, 2015 01:39 AM (DtNNC) Getting banned is a pain-in-the-ass. There are very few I might wish it on -- and fewer still who should get it for slapfights or umbrages (although some who were banned for slapfights or umbrages absolutely needed to be banned -- and banned permanently -- because they were dropping malware on people.....ahem). MWNP and I often rub each other the wrong way -- he's a long-time sales-dude and I'm a long-time accountant -- and we've had lots of opportunities to irritate other accountants and sales-dudes, respectively, over the years. But we can also respect each others' appreciation of family -- MWNP with his daughter, me with our godkids -- and principled positions. Doesn't mean we won't get crossways.

She's had this love-hate beaten-spouse relationship with her job during the same years. The question is whether she'll break up with her abusive job or the bottom will fall out of the economy and trash the value of our house and our investments first. When I initially evaluated the issue, there was a decent safety margin......now, not so much. Still hopeful. I admire your deal because it clearly adds value to the economy.

"Decorating the Christmas tree" basically means putting ornaments on until everyone gets sick of doing that and wanders away. I went to watch "Fred Claus" and fell asleep and am now wondering if I should slog on or just tinsel and call it.
I think I need to cull ornaments, but I'm too sentimental. What do people do with old ornaments? Knowing me, I will probably give them to the local Goodwill and then buy them back in a fit of nostalgia five years from now. That sounds about right.

Posted by: SMFH at December 13, 2015 02:20 AM (zyIlW) Did you catch this news? Also from Missouri. http://preview.tinyurl.com/grrlzg8 WAYNESVILLE, Mo. (AP) _ Pulaski County authorities say a deer hunter found a cache of explosives along a trail in the Mark Twain National Forest. Sheriff Ron Long says in a news release the hunter found the explosives Saturday on a jeep trail where he normally camps and called 911. A bomb disposal unit from Fort Leonard Wood responded to the scene along with sheriff's deputies and Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers. Long says the explosives were detonated at the site because they were too volatile to move. A small fire after the detonation was extinguished without further damage. Police described the explosives as something that could not be bought for recreational use. I agree: Many are soon about to find out real terror is all about. I can foresee malls at peak Christmas shopping season being hit, and schools (like the schools the dead SB jihadi scoped out while doing his health inspecting gig.

Some of the scenes trying to "humanize" Tom Noonan dragged on a bit too long. But yes, Cox was excellent, though he didn't get to wear that cool facemask Hopkins wore.
Posted by: Bruce Boehner William Peterson was in it too. Played the main character. He has been a pretty solid actor. Maybe underrated.

I'm not a fan of all yogurt flavors, SMFH, and I really hate that thick, goopy 'Greek' yogurt that seems to be all the rage. I only like Dannon yogurt, and I like the coffee flavor year 'round. I like the lemon in the heat of summer. I will occasionally pick up a vanilla or blueberry one for variety. Better for my waistline than munching on chocolate, which I inhale (thanks Ma for that oversized sweet-tooth you created with your wonderful pies, cakes, cookies, fudge -- chocolate or butterscotch with or without walnuts -- brownies, et.al.; I tell people all the time I grew up in a 24/7 bakery except I didn't have to order anything, just open the fridge).
