Standing vs Sitting
I pretty much go with whatever is comfortable. Standing can also be bad for you, says scientist studying desk set-up. F-35 Backup Plan
Swatting a spider is not a good enough reason to let go of a steering wheel on a highway, as one 17-year-old girl in Kansas learned. Eleven people were taken to the hospital after her car crossed the center line and slammed into a Jeep head-on.
What's the strangest car crash cause you morons know of? Dude? I'm just gonna say that I wouldn't hang around this dude. American who survived Brussels, Paris and Boston terror attack says he's 'lucky'. No shit. Dogs vs Broccoli
Vapor wake dogs cost about $49,000 each and are licensed for a year, after which they are retrained to account for terrorists' changing tactics.Dog Video

They will never ever admit the thing doesn't actually work. Too many of Commiefornia's sacred cows would be slaughtered. There are political bigwigs in Sackamanura and technoligarchs in the Valley who have reputations and egoes on the line.
I will bet that instead it will discreetly sprout an "auxiliary" plant off to one side. Powered by fossil fuel. The "auxiliary" plant will account for the majority of the actual plant output.

Few places to site them. Expensive for either type (solar concentrator steam or solar celled)
Very expensive initial outlay. Solar cells are not cheap per kw. and concentrators have to have well made mirrors and aiming systems.
But it's mainly that the sun doesn't shine for half a day.
Solar would be and is good for space powering as they can be sited where they receive solar energy 24/7.
This is why demand type energy creation is more efficient.
When are we finally going to change the nuclear energy model, build smaller plants and put them all over.
I guess when someone finally realizes we're going to go extinct if we don't.

Yup... the problem with both solar, and wind, is that it is not a consistent power source... they only work part time.
So you still need regular power generation (coal, Nat gas, oil, nuc) for the time it does not function.
Thus, economically, the savings in fuel costs must be more than the cost to create the alternate energy, or its just for show... ie not economically smart.
Because you are greatly increasing your total Infrastructure costs.

The thing already burns copious amounts of natural gas every day to get the boilers up to temp. Thus, they can charge PGnE 3 times the going rate for their 'green' electricity when a good portion of the power produced is due to the use of a carbon based fuel.
And even with that cheater boost, they still can't produce enough to satisfy the contracted mount of power they promised.
In Spain, they were paying so well for green power that solar farms were running diesel generators at night to collect the luscious extra loot.
So just remember, we are the right wing Hatey McHaterperson kooks that want to kill Mother Gaia.

I will use frozen spinach to make creamed spinach, spinach-cheese casserole, lasagna, etc., but for fresh preparation such as you describe I prefer kale. Add red pepper flakes to the oil and garlic, and then saute. Drain off the liquid, and then re-top with olive oil and lemon juice. Excellent side dish. Goes with steak and potatoes, chicken, etc.

Some of the new aircraft carriers that are coming online over the next decade or so are built around the plane. If something were to happen to the F-35 program, then the aircraft carriers in question might have to undergo refitting.
The new British carriers are an example of this. Because the F-35 is delayed, and the first of the British carriers will be active before Britain's F-35s are delivered, the carrier's wing will initially be a USMC squadron.

Is cooking a whole fish as daunting as I've always assumed it is? I like to cook, but I'm always nervous with seafood. Being a Midwesterner probably has something to do with that. We would eat the fish my dad and brothers caught (scaled and cleaned by them), but most of the fish I ate as a kid was in filet form (usually batter fried) or in a can. I never saw whole fish at the supermarket when I was growing up.

Not at all. And fish, like all other meat, is better on the bone.
Cut some slits into the fish, almost but not quite down to the bone. Rub a bit of salt into the slits, and on the sides. Then pan-fry whole. Or go Chinese, and steam with scattered threads of fresh ginger and a small amount of chopped fermented dried black beans on top.
Either way, the cheeks are the best part.

Oh, yes. A tender and tasty bit of fish behind that armor plate next to the mouth.
On halibuts, they are so large that you will sometimes see "halibut cheeks" for sale on their own. They're good, but not so good as when they cook inside a whole fish.

The "Watchmen" movie had similar problems, where Nite Owl and Silk Spectre were concerned. Snyder seems to have cared more about them than his audience did, who just wanted moar Rorschach.

Yeah. Part of the whole appeal of Batman is that he's so down-to-earth human (at least as I recall), as opposed to Superman who, although also great, was born... super.
But if the thing's a hit, they'll give Spider-Man superpowers next. Sigh.

It's actually really easy to lift the cooked meat off of the bones with a serving fork. It just comes right off. Turn it over and repeat. You can do it in the kitchen, if your guests are squeamish.
Cheeks? I didn't think you did anything with the head except maybe save it to make fish stock.
In China, fish head in a clay pot is a common dish. There's a lot of really good stuff in there, but you do have to work for it. Lots of bones and plates of bone. But the cheeks are the best of all, and easily accessible.

I absolutely never serve refried beans "straight outta the can". Try this, and I think you'll like the results. (for std. 12 oz. can)
* 1 teaspoon bacon grease. (a true Moron always has a bacon-grease can for saved drippings, yes?)
* 6 shakes of Tobasco sauce.
* 6 shakes of juice from a bottle of Sport Peppers.
* 1 tsp. Chili Powder.
Get that all heated and mixed in the saucepan, then serve it up with whatever you're having. The beans won't be "hot", seasoning-wise, but they'll have flavor, first time and every time.
Want even better? Buy the BUSH'S refried BLACK BEANS. Dear Lord, they put the refried pinto beans to shame! Fix 'em the same way, as above.

Make a big aluminum foil pouch big enough to hold the fish, plus:
A couple of sliced lemons
A sliced large onion
Maybe some celery
A good sprinkle of S&P, garlic, herbs & whatever spice you like
Add pats of butter & some olive oil
Throw the sealed on a warm grill for (maybe) 20- 30 minutes.

Whole fish are not difficult. I love whole trout baked in a 350 oven for about 20-30 minutes (dot fish with butter and dust w salt and pepper). Whole salmon (sliced in half lengthwise and stuffed with sauteed fennel and onion) only takes about 40 minutes and always amazes guests.

This happened before. For his birthday, Little was having 2 friends sleepover, and one of them decides he wants to go, and calls his mom on his cell phone (why do 10-11 YO kids have a cell phone anyway?) to come get him, which she does. The other kid decides that he should leave too, and calls his dad to come get him. I knew none of this until they showed up at the door to pick up their kids. Little was crushed. He's asleep now, but I'm sure he'll be crushed tomorrow.
What the hell is wrong with people today? Pre-teens who can't be away from mommy for a night, and parents that enable that shit? I was gone all the time at that age, and so were my friends, I at their house, they at mine. Camping in backyards and woods. My dad would never have come to get me unless there was violence going on.
I want little to feel valued and have self esteem for what he actually does, but he's only 11, it's gotta be terribly upsetting when friends walk out on him, and I don't know how to make him realize that it's NOT his fault these special snowflakes are helpless little babies.

Tell him exactly that but nicer... tell him that his friends are apparently not mature enough to spend the night away from their parents and then, if you have a tent, let him "camp" in your back yard (or in your living room if you have no back yard).

About thirty years ago I had to do an analysis of auto accidents on this stretch of public highway over the previous ten years. So I pulled the state DoT records in single line format (each accident was condensed). There was sufficient coded information in the single line to extract date/time, location, direction, number of vehicles, property damage, injury, fatality, alcohol, and fewer characters that a tweet to summarize the accident...
The analysis involved looking at the data as a whole, hundreds of reported accident over ten years, and pull trends to see if there are any systemic problems with that stretch of highway... by the way, transportation engineering is the 'accounting' of the engineering world...
What appeared was that the vast majority of accidents were fender benders only. Of all accidents, 33.33% involved animal strikes, 25.00% left hand turns (I only remember those because they were, oddly, 1/3 and 1/4 to the forth decimal place), and
20 fatalities.
MADD was just getting going, so, how many alcohol related fatalities?
ONE alcohol related fatality - 5%.
Some moron got liquored up, backed into a mailbox, and somehow managed to kill themself. So, if you are three sheets to the wind and decide to drive out to the end of the driveway to get the mail, make sure you put the car in park before you try to retrieve the mail with your head hanging out the window or you might just rip it off between the car and mailbox when you step on the gas instead of the brake.

I think that is common - used to live on a stretch off US131 and after a snow you see the tire tracks where they went of the right side, over corrected and went off the left side into a deep ditch.
DoT fixed that - they repaved and widened the paved shoulder to a couple of feet (used to be if you over the white line you were in gravel) - accidents stepped up because people thinker if it is a bigger/better road it is safer, so they drive even more carelessly. Fact is the safest road is a single lane once way dirt road.

Pretty much. Middle Eastern clerics and thinkers came up with some good stuff 2000 years ago. Knowledge, etc. Islam came along and destroyed all of that.
In Islam you cannot seek to obtain the knowledge that disproves Allah and so long as a rock falls off a ledge because Allah willed it believing in gravity is out.

"NEW ORLEANS (AP) Backlash against a plan to remove prominent Confederate monuments in New Orleans has been tinged by death threats, intimidation and even what may have been the torching of a contractor's Lamborghini.
For now, at least, things have gotten so nasty the city hasn't found a contractor willing to bear the risk of tearing down the monuments. The city doesn't have its own equipment to move them and is now in talks to find a company, even discussing doing the work at night to avoid further tumult. Further complicating the issue was a court ruling Friday that effectively put the removal on hold."

Now, my mother had given me a small hanging plant to take home. This plant had been hanging on her porch. Whimsically, I guess, I had hung it from the rear view mirror.
In the freaking dark, something lands on my chest with a 'thump'. I damn near ran off the road getting stopped. Must have looked pretty strange to anyone who was behind me.
It was a tree frog, which had taken up residence in the hanging basket, and had decided to bail... right on to me.

We are stationed in Germany. My hubby buys a jeep at another base several clicks away. I drive him in my car and then will follow him home as he drives new jeep.
Now he loves jeeps but he also loves big tires. So before we pick it up he upgrades the tires
We pick it up. Looks great. Tires are great. We get on the autobahn. I'm following. Cars are zipping past. After no more than 10 minutes I see a tire zipping down the autobahn by itself
It's his front left tire, passing him. Then that corner of his jeep drops and sparks and shit are flying out from underneath the jeep. He's struggling like hell to control it and pull over
All the while I'm looking in the rear view to make sure somebody doesn't crash into us from behind. When the put the new tires on they stripped the screws

Dad wasn't happy when Deputy Dawg drops me off at 2AM telling him I had gone downtown to a ymca dance. He knew. Later that morning I was up,at 6 performing manual labor for him for most of the day,

This happened before. For his birthday, Little was having 2 friends sleepover, and one of them decides he wants to go, and calls his mom on his cell phone (why do 10-11 YO kids have a cell phone anyway?) to come get him, which she does. The other kid decides that he should leave too, and calls his dad to come get him. I knew none of this until they showed up at the door to pick up their kids. Little was crushed. He's asleep now, but I'm sure he'll be crushed tomorrow.
What the hell is wrong with people today? Pre-teens who can't be away from mommy for a night, and parents that enable that shit? I was gone all the time at that age, and so were my friends, I at their house, they at mine. Camping in backyards and woods. My dad would never have come to get me unless there was violence going on.
I want little to feel valued and have self esteem for what he actually does, but he's only 11, it's gotta be terribly upsetting when friends walk out on him, and I don't know how to make him realize that it's NOT his fault these special snowflakes are helpless little babies.
Posted by: Weirddave at March 25, 2016 10:51 PM (N8hFs)
Have a sleepover with him yourself -- pitch a tent in the backyard. Tell him stories of how things were when you were 11 -- how proudly you raised him toward that sort of life. To stand tall, be self-reliant and bold; to hold his head up and embrace new experiences.....instead of, say, calling mom to be picked-up early.

Me neither. We had fun. Summers were great, beach all day. Or we would go to red rocks. There was always a party. They charged for the cup, girls got in for free.
We used to cruise the back roads of Santa ynez by the Devils church ( so we thought) and scare ourselves.
I think there's grapes there now. Good times.

You fairer better than me.
We followed someone we knew to go to a party (McDs or Taco Bell parking lot was the jumping off point). Followed them for about 3/4 of a mile.....next thing.... Shotgun to my right side, two pistols in front of me, about 12 cop cars surrounding us.
Knew we were following delinquents but damn, give me a heads up.

A city bus driver had stepped out of his bus to take a smoke and had not set the parking brake. The bus rolled down a hill and into the guy's living room... right where the Hi Fi was sitting.
The insurance company wanted an estimate in order to settle the claim.
I still remember the complaint as listed on the service papers, "Struck by bus".

Pro-tip here. Do what's said above, as regards the "fast walk" test.
If you think it's not good DO go to your closest Fire Station, and have their EMT give you a look over.
If EMT transports you to the E.R., at least in Texas, you're under a different law than if you'd walked in under your own power.
The walk in only has to be "stabilized", and can then be pushed out the door.
The EMT transport has to be treated to the fullest measure, including being admitted, surgery, etc.
Plus, if the EMT's having hooked you up to an EKG proves that you're OK, then you've got a free "peace of mind" check, with no E.R. bills to contend with.
Go to the firehouse amigo!

Maybe not crack but he was a small time dealer. Also grand theft. That's why they were following him.
Funny part of the night is I had 3 guns pointed at me, but when I got searched he found smokes...yes officer, I know I'm under 18. Like that was what they were looking for.

1--a persistent pain in the chest is probably not a good thing. But no matter!
2 - Hillary Clinton would be the worst thing. Worse than anyone else. Worse than Trump, worse than Sanders. Worse than the Devil. But go ahead and say you'll vote for her over Trump. It makes you feel good, and that is the ultimate aim. To feel good.
3. I'm pretty sure this chest pain aint good, and aint good in the "feel good" section, but I refuse to care. There are things that are worth it, and things that are not.
4. PS Don't worry.
5. There is No Fifth thing!

My dad was driving home on the freeway in the SF Valley when he started having chest pains. He drove himself to Kaiser and went in. If you have never experienced Kaiser, they stick you in a room and have random people walk in and do random things to you in no particular order for a couple of hours. Some gal will wander in and weigh you. Five minutes later, some guy will come in and take your blood pressure. Five minutes after that, someone will measure how tall you are.....after a couple of hours, a doctor comes in and says, "Mr. Cthulhu -- I want you to think back to when your alarm went off this morning and tell me about what was going on each time you had a cup of coffee."
So, my dad starts with......"I got up and brewed a pot. I had a cup then took my shower. I had another cup while I checked the traffic on TV, then poured another and brewed another pot for my Thermos....."
By the time he drove himself to the Kaiser ER, there were 23 total cups. The doctor earnestly looks at him and says, "Mr. Cthulhu -- don't drink that much coffee" -- then turns around and leaves.

I remember driving my '65 Ford Econoline van, with the twice-twice doors, and the 4-speed on the tree, and for some inexplicable reason, drove off the road between Penticton and Keremeos, BC. It's high desert country, not unlike the area west of Spokane, WA.
Went up a 3-foot embankment, through a barbed-wire fence, and bounced over numerous basketball-size rocks that littered the field. Back through the fence, down the embankment, and rolled to a stop on the shoulder. Poor old Econoline was wounded; chips out of the kidney-bean mags, bellhousing cracked through, and driveshaft buckled from coming down hard on a rock.
I drove a sheet metal screw into the crease on the drive shaft, and pulled out the worst of the buckle with a claw hammer. Cut some patches of sheet aluminum, and pop-riveted them over the cracks in the aluminum bellhousing. Drove the darn thing home to Vancouver. About 200 miles. Ran fine.
The engine cover had a dent in the top where my elbow had smashed into it.

I didn't get my drivers license until I was 17; parents, in their wisdom, figured I wasn't ready. But I passed the tests OK at 17, drove Dad's '56 Ranchwagon a bit, got the hankering for a a car of my own, and bought a '51 Studebaker Champion from the next-door neighbors for the princely sum of $25. It was a much better car than I deserved, and I wound up selling it less than year later for $100, and thinking I was Joe Capitalist. Dumb fuck, I was.

One of Shandling's best jokes was about the difference between men and women. A guy picks up a girl at a bar and takes her home. They're undressed and making out and the girl thinks,
"Oh my ... I can't believe I'm doing this. I don't even know this guy ..."
while the guy is thinking,
"Oh MY! I can't believe I'm doing this. I don't even know this girl!!"

I was a call center pharm tech and the person next to me got a call from a person asking if chest pains was a side effect of a particular medication. The pharmacist who was called over repeatedly urged them to call 911 or go to the ER. Chest pains was not a side effect for those wondering.
A co-worker's severely alcoholic boyfriend had a heart attack at 30. My friend's mother in law's son died at 25 from a massive heart attack after being to the ER over chest pains.
My advice is to acquaint yourself with heart attack symptoms and do not be afraid to call 911 or get to the ER.

I should also add that you could come back and crowdfund your visit afterward (assuming you survive). You'd have to settle on a number with the ER first (so they wouldn't be measuring your internet friends' pockets) -- but with all the people worried for you, things could get cleared up pretty rapidly.
And, not to put too fine a point on it, but if you're actually feeling like leaving this world.....wouldn't you want to do so owing a truly fantastic amount of money? "Yeah, I ran all my credit cards up to the limit on hookers and blow -- what were they going to do, repossess?"

Apparently NOT, so why should anybody believe you can be loyal to over 300 million.

Crump and Truz are both good people, both are light-years ahead of Hillaroid and Commie Bernie in terms of morality and political philosophy. Both are hated by the Donks, and both are hated by the GOPe. Who benefits from a mud-slinging battle between the two? Not Crump, not Truz. The Donks and the GOPe, that's who benefits.
So how 'bout we adopt a higher degree of civility in here? If you support one or the other, why not, instead of trashing the other, you simply say "my guy beats your guy on this one issue, and here's why". Don't go calling the other guy's supporters poopyheads because they fail to cleave to your version of wisdom. Or whizzdumb, as the case may be.

We had a similar situation when the fiancee got The Bends in Hawaii. There are a shitload of possible symptoms, all of which could well be something else -- and most of which are unfamiliar. Because we were members of DAN, we contacted their dive emergency line and did some in-the-hotel testing.....which then moved to in-a-clinic testing under the supervision of DAN experts, which then lead to a helicopter medevac to the Kuakini Medical Center on Oahu, which lead to her personal treatment by Dr. Bob Overlock -- possibly the world's top expert in DCS at the time (he's since retired).
All along the way, you're thinking "WTF?" We had the resources and connections to get information and help and escalate rapidly in the best possible direction. But it's bewildering and you can't think straight when you feel bad.

I think the midday two hour hate is cathartic...
Given Cruz is 1/10th as a constitutional conservative as his supporters believe he is, they and Trump's should agree that putting Cruz in a black dress and on the bench for the next thirty years would have greater benefit than 4 years of Trump (or Cruz, or fricken zombie Reagan) as POTUS.
As if that scenario gels,

This actually happened to me:
When I was 8 years old, my elder sister was attending an awful junior high school populated almost entirely with juvenile delinquents. Naturally she fell in with a "bad crowd" and quickly became a juvenile delinquent herself.
One day the school called our house to report that my sister had misbehaved somehow and was in detention and that a parent had to come pick her up from school.
So my father, who was home alone with me at the time, put me in the car and drove to the school and went to get her. He parked on the street near the school, and left me in the car (this would be considered totally taboo nowadays, but back then it seemed fairly commonplace to leave a kid in the car while you went and did an errand). He didn't want me to witness my sister being punished, so he told me to wait in the car.
Anyway, the spot we parked in was at the top of a long sloping downhill residential block, with no other parked cars anywhere close to us on the downhill side.
As I sat there, school was letting out for the day, and terrifying (to me) tweenage juvenile delinquents were streaming past. Two of them noticed me sitting all alone in the car in the passenger seat -- and my dad had left the driver's side window partly open.
Wordlessly, with blank evil eyes, one of the pair of delinquents leaned in the window, released the emergency brake and then fiddled with one of the handles near the steering wheel (it was only many years later that I realized he was wrestling the gearshift into "drive" or whatever).
Then they stood back and laughed as the car started rolling, slowly at first, rolling rolling gaining speed, rolling rolling rolling down the hill as I screamed in terror. Eventually the car was going probably about 30 or 35 mph when I crashed into a parked car at the bottom of the hill.
Luckily my dad's car was a heavy old clunker so it just obliterated the flimsy little car it smashed into and also pushed it along quite a distance, so the impact wasn't as abrupt or as fatal as it might at first seem from my description.
The delinquents hooped and hollered and laughed and scattered in all directions.
Bleeding from my forehead, but mostly just afraid of how angry my father was going to be at me for wrecking the car, I climbed out of the broken front windshield and over the hood and walked back up to the school, where I met my father coming out of the principal's office with my sister.
My father was already in a very foul mood, and furious at my sister, so when he deciphered my hysterical babbling about the car being wrecked, he transferred all that anger and more toward me. Boy, did I get a yelling-at.
Needless to say, he didn't believe a word of my tale about the boys reaching in the window, and instead he was convinced that I had been goofing around in the car myself and released the brake on my own, and that I was therefore 100% responsible for what happened.
Anyway, I guess this counts as one of the strangest "car accidents" ever, because neither car involved was even running at the time, and neither car had anyone in the driver's seat!

As a Canuck, I'm not a voter. I'd be delighted to see a President Cruz. Or a President Trump. I'd be turning cartwheels to see a President Trump with VP Cruz. Assassination deterrent and impeachment deterrent all in one. Doublemint FTW! Plus, when The Donald has done his two terms, Cruz has a shot at two for himself. With eight years of accumulated gravitas.
Cruz into the Supreme Court is boner-inducing, too.
I don't see a Cruz/Trump ticket as remotely possible. Ego of the latter aside, the age difference between the two means Cruz can afford to wait a cycle or two, Trump cannot.
Aside to the Snipster: snip if you will. I'm trying to be analytical here, and not boorishly partisan. My interest is in trying to reconcile the two solitudes that have developed here.

I have had instances of cars rolling away downhill, with mild to embarassing consequences. It's not that uncommon, except negligence, not malice is the usual proximate cause. When it happens to you, and it is your fault, it qualifies as a genuine, "Oh Shit!" moment. BTDT

Problem is, this wasn't a "reasonable context" -- there is an extra historical layer to the story which I did not (and cannot) reveal which makes the whole incident much more sinister than even what I recounted above. In modern terminology, what happened would now be deemed a "hate crime," as the boys were actually trying to kill me for (trying to be euphemistic here) political reasons.

Without getting into specifics, would this have been about racism or anti-leftism? I would guess that it was racism, as a strapping young black man could be perceived as a threat even when only 8 years old. *ahem*
But, yeah, I could see that as attempted murder. It's a horrible, horrible thing to find yourself the target of at 8-years-old. You truly have my sympathy, though this was 20-some years ago.
Posted by: cthulhu at March 26, 2016 03:04 AM (EzgxV)
Unfortunately, for about six different reasons, I just can't get any more specific. Age/ethnicity/location/gender would be compromised, plus also if the true specifics of this tale (and ancillary incidents) were ever disclosed openly, it would probably ignite Armageddon and society would collapse. Yeah, it's that bad. The reality of what happened to/with my sister that day is in some ways even more horrifying. If the world knew....

It's been three hours -- he could be asleep, or he could be on the floor of his living room choking out his last breaths. According to him, we'll have another 45 hours to wonder.

The Honda was totaled as designed and the woman driving had a bloody nose from the air bag. We were completely unharmed and able to drive away once the police were done.
The weird thing was the front license plate of the Explorer. It was impaled on the trailer hitch of the Escalade and hanging off after being torn from the front of the Explorer as the vehicles bounced back from the impact. If I'd seen in a movie I would have assumed it was a joke and a bit over the top. But that is how it actually ended up. I wish I'd had a better phone then to get a picture.
