Overnight Open Thread (30 Jan 2016)
I'll note that an integral part of Progressive mythology is the struggle. Despite being in charge for close to a century, Progressives still think of themselves as an insurgent minority at war with their oppressive overlords. Elizabeth Warren is worth millions, yet she spends her time in the Senate ranting about the one percent. Her neighbors in the one percent cheer her on. It's false consciousness.
Pay Gap
How about Hollywood and the White House lead by example on this pay gap BS. They won't. Just like they don't do things to lower their carbon footprint and have their bodyguards carry no guns. They just want you miserable while they live as they want. Outrun a T-Rex? Could you outrun a hungry Tyrannosaur? I don't know. If you believe Jurassic World, a woman in heels can outrun a T-Rex.

Meh. In Hollywood, people outrun cars, women outrun men, women can beat up most men, leading scientists and doctors are all blacks and women. If Hollywood were to be believed, the only use for white men is as straight men, criminals and idiots who, though stupid and unskilled, do nothing but thwart the great intentions and potential genius of the more powerful women and smarter urbanites.
Hollywood doesn't paint a picture of make-believe, Hollywood exists in the world of "impossible to believe".

A conservative believes in government that is as small as possible. That point is non-negotiable.
So when the author keeps ranting about the conservative establishment, who the hell is he talking about?!?
Does he think there's a majority of Republicans in D.C. eager to cut the government? If that were true, the bureaucracy would be half the size it is now. And as I said, if they don't believe that, then they aren't conservatives.
This seems to be a point of continual confusion among the alt-right: the inability to identify actual conservatives, as opposed to the many posers out there.
It's almost like the alt-right doesn't know anything about conservatism...

If governments refuse to protect their own citizens, then the citizens will have to fend for themselves and take matters into their own hands.
At some point they'll realize that the immigrants are only a symptom, and that the real problem is the people in government. That's when things will really get sporty.

I have a recipe for making pear muffins, and subbed out pumpkin puree and a quarter cup of buttermilk for the pears and milk.
It turned out very nice, but it heaped up in the middle, which I am told means I baked it too high.
Originally I had intended to make muffins, but I hate using the muffin tins. So I baked it in the 9" square cornbread pan. It is easier to clean, at least.

But Tucker is correct, why has no one else been able or willing to take on these big issues so boldly ... the Clinton's sex attacks, the criminal element of the illegals, the need to pause letting in unvetted Muslims (even Bill Maher agrees on that)?
Alleged conservatives are as herd like as the left at times. They have their own Bill Nye or Neil D' Tyson, who make them feel smart about not so conservative positions. And most of media and many blogs hate Trump and work to destroy him. The big issues are border control and trade, as those are swamping US and will change the country if not stopped (or it may be too late).

True, most stories have a protagonist who's an example to *emulate.* BUT... you can also tell a great satirical/comedy (or horror) story with a protagonist who's an example to *avoid at all costs.*
"Where's Poppa?" from 1970, written/directed by Carl Reiner, is another example. His #1 problem: a mindbendingly clingy, ruinous, crazy, unthinking Jewish mother.
How does the protag, played by George Segal, *finally* solve his problem? By finally giving in, crawling into her bed, and SLEEPING WITH HER at the very, very end of the film. Not kidding, check it out. Very dark.

Carlson's Trump article was mostly good ... though going public with the

it really was a sexist attack, not a term used of Ferraro's loss,
shortly after she died. It's a legit term.

I think that would fall under the category of Tragedy. No protags in tragedies.
And, opinion though it may be, tragedies are inferior to narratives with a plot. Tragedies are found in almost every culture, but a plotted narrative is one of the great parts of our western heritage.

Defence Minister Gen Nakatani issued the order, the Nikkei daily and Kyodo News reported, after reports of suspicious activity at Pyongyang's main satellite complex fuelled speculation a launch could come as early as next week.
A Japanese defence ministry spokeswoman declined to confirm the report when contacted by AFP, saying that "would reveal our strategy".
"But we are taking all possible measures to respond (to a missile launch) by collecting information and coordinating with countries concerned," she added.
North Korea is banned from using ballistic missile technology by UN Security Council resolutions, so any launch would further raise tensions among the international community only weeks after its latest nuclear test.
Two US defence officials confirmed to AFP on Friday there was ongoing activity at the North's Sohae satellite complex, which Pyongyang has been upgrading to handle larger, longer-range rockets since 2013.

If I might be forward -- make sure that both of you remember that he's a giant heartache because you love him so. My uncle did OK with Lithium (though he was older); there are many indications that SSRI's are too dangerous to use for patients under 25 years unless in an inpatient facility. I well understand the stress, confusion, and exhaustion that can quickly build-up in such times -- each malady reinforcing the others. I hope you can find calm, clarity, and comfort to resolutely meet the challenges ahead.

Seems this quilting thing is pretty big ... national shows and all. An
old friend of mine has done it for a long time up in Lisbon Falls ME,
long arm machine, whatever that is. I like that it is something still
done mostly by small shops, afaik. Or maybe the Chinese are taking over
quilting too, idk.

The fiancee has been going to PIQF since forever, since it's local. She'd been to the Houston show once -- but it was before she was all that into quilting. And she just went to the "Road to California" quilt show in Ontario, California and was all jazzed about it. There's another huge one in Paducah, KY, coming up. So, yeah -- it can be a big deal.

Saw a very nice white TR6, 56000 miles, that sold for $12000. Nicer car than mine by far, but it did need a few things fixed. What it did tell me is that I could spend quite a bundle on mine, and still not be in it for more than it is worth. Saw not one, but two '63 Avantis, both nice, but nowhere near 400-point cars. Might have seen Alice Cooper, or at least a guy who looks like him.

I hate to tell you this, but there are several Rosie's quilt stores. Which one are you talking about?
And, BTW, you want big -- Mary Jo's Cloth Store in Gastonia, NC. For a little background, you have to realize that there was a lot of industrial production in the mill towns of the south -- but they weren't making iron and steel, they were making furniture and cloth. A lot of the production has moved on; but a lot of the trading posts remain.

At different times, I owned both. 1966 and 1978. I found the cockpit design and convertible top preferable on the latter. The former was not notably faster or more maneuverable, in my experience. But 1978 was the last "good" year for the design, as 1979 and 1980 had serious QC issues, coming from labor disputes, I believe.
Realized as you asked about the MGB that I left one car off my list. Sunbeam Tiger, not particular about the year. Or Alpine, 1964-1967. I owned an Alpine and enjoyed it greatly, and the Tiger was a car that I worshiped from afar.

That's a good swap because they just did a big cover album of Bob Wills songs and collaborated with alot of artists.
Unfortunately, one of them was Shooter Jennings, who just did NOT get his daddy's voice.

I disagree that Grunge was bad or killed other non-marginal bands. There was a lot of musical diversity at that time and it was great. You had NIN or Ministry. You hade Depeche Mode or The Cure (for example). Slayer and Sepultura exploded as did Metallica and Megadeth.
They did destroy those faggy hairbands, which to this day make me want to put a bullet thru whatever device sh*ts out their music.

Two people can be a band. If they rely too much on the "tech" to make themselves sound like a 6-piece band, then they will never be able to perform live, will they?
About the only CDs I buy anymore are the ones the band sells on break between sets. If I like the band live, I will buy their CD.

I remember "Queens" being brought up in the comments at the time, and I'd heard of them where I hadn't heard of "Eagles", so it stuck in what passes for my head

There's one Dig song that I have on my main playlist. And I have one Dink song, too, that I found by mistake - fat finger while looking for "dig" and I ended up liking the song I downloaded. But, other than those single songs, there's nothing else from either band that I found worth keeping.

Agreed. It's a matter of taste. Not saying they are bad people; they seem nice. Glad to hear they got a band together and went on tour. I hope they do well. I think working that mode is a lot more likely to win them fans than making precious little videos that annoy old farts like me.

Well, since the press has been reporting that all the "immigrants" are
children, despite most of them being military-aged men, I have to give
them credit for being consistently propagandistic.
Every sentient being in the world knows they are lying about every
aspect of the "immigrant" "crisis", so when they report that "children"
were beaten, I'm sure most Swedes know exactly who got pounded and have
no problem with it.
Posted by: Sharkman at January 31, 2016 01:25 AM (V5YnQ)
It's all lies, all the way down -- they're not refugees, they're invaders; they're not women + children, they're fighting-age males; they're not from war zones, they're from barbaric lands; they aren't seeking relief; they're seeking conquest; they're not without papers, they discarded them along the way; they don't seek to join a productive society, they wish to rule it; they're not the best and brightest from Syria, they're the insane, infirm, incarcerated, and oppressed from every 3rd-world shithole with transit to Europe.
When 95%+ of the rapes in Sweden belong to these thugs; when people admitted as "14-year-old children" wouldn't be carded to buy liquor in the US; when aidworkers are knifed to bleed out in shelters....it should be noticed.
And the lies should all be reversed. As I noticed in a previous thread -- every "immigrant" should have a chance to be dropped off on a random streetcorner in Aleppo. If he'd rather be flown to Karachi, Baghdad, or Cairo, he needs to testify against the lies. Otherwise, he gets four hours of instruction with 100 practice rounds on a 1911 and 300 rounds in boxes before being dropped-off.

There's not enough penicillin in the world if you "get" Justin Bieber.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at January 31, 2016 02:48 AM (Z8fuk)
I myself set up something similar a while back to shut up the neighbor's dog -- and it worked!
My device was simultaneously less sophisticated than his while also being partly more sophisticated.
First thing I did was research the loudest "anti-bark ultrasonic beeper" device available on the market. These devices emit an extremely loud and extremely annoying noise -- that only dogs can hear! (Because it is too high for the human ear to detect, thus "ultrasonic.")
They make these with noise detectors to set them beeping, but they're only ever designed for "in-home use" and can't detect a dog that's barking too far away.
Furthermore, they sometimes respond to extraneous noises, which ruins the effect because they exist to train the dog not to bark. If the ultrasonic beep goes off randomly, the dog won't be trained, because the annoying sound won't be caused by its barking.
So what I did was sneaky and clever:
I rigged it so that the beeper was activated by a remote control -- this was actually the hardest part, but I ended up buying a second dog-beeper that had a remote control function, yet had a quieter useless beep, but then took it apart and connected the remote-control part to the louder beeper of the first device. They were both all open with their guts out, but that didn't matter because...
I housed the combo remote-contolled loud beeper inside a birdhouse and hung it up in a tree near the neighbor's fence, with the "hole" of the birdhouse (behind which was the speaker of the beeper) pointed straight at the dog's usual barking spot.
So now I had a nice loud beeper pointed at the dog, which I could control remotely. But in so doing I had disabled the autodetect activation feature.
But that's not a problem, because I, me, became the detector.
I put the remote control next to the window facing toward the birdhouse, and every time I heard the neighbor's dog bark, I pressed the remote control button, which activated the ultrasonic beep. I couldn't hear it, but you could see the dog flinch!
At first he only barked louder at it, but I just kept beeping him more, until eventually after several days the dog felt defeated (not to mention deafened), and retreated inside.
All of this was inaudible to the human ear, and completely invisible, so the dog's owners never had the slightest clue what was happening.
The dog stopped barking completely for a while, but eventually it did start up again -- but only either inside the house (where it was muffled and not so bad) or on the front side of the neighbor's house away from my window (also not nearly as bad). But not since then has the dog had the nerve to come out back and bark in my direction!
So -- success! I didn't silence the dog completely, but enough to be satisfactory.

Listening to Bowie's album 1. OUTSIDE. What a fantastic album. Totally off my radar until lately. Shame that it often takes death to spark an interest in an artist's back catalogue.
1. OUTSIDE is a sprawling, challenging yet mostly quite accessible work. Brilliant stuff. One of his most Prog-Rock albums ever. Love this one a lot.

Congrats. I'm happy for you. Nothing like a repair going well. I think non-car people are looking at your post and thinking it is no big deal. There simply is no explaining the feeling when you work on it, and fix it yourself.
I recently rebuilt some disc brake calipers, which I had never done before.
Considering I am now using them and they work to keep me alive, I get a bit of a warm fuzzy off of it.

There seems to be a rash of this in SF. Could it be that they are really selling them on the black market?

Long arm, I can see. Upright mount on the passenger side or trunk. Sidearm and badge? Don't know. They would be on you at all times one would think.

They carry them into bars in LA. And why leave your badge?

That must be why you saw all those conservatives spring up to defend Boehner when he was ousted.
Oh no, wait...that never actually happened.

I had this problem. Most infuriating. Your keyboard imagines you're a delicate flower girl ballerina. You must tell it you are actually gorilla.
Apple symbol far upper left, Systems preferences, keyboard. Play around up there with changes.
I was just now thinking how satisfying each keystroke feels, exactly as it should, like a typewriter that tells my fingers the right thing is typed. And recalled that precise same difficulty last week that came with re-install, and that too is brilliant. I must say, credit where it is due, they made things easy as possible.
