Overnight Open Thread (3-28-2016)
Those of long memory may recall that my bestest chicken ever was mille fleur (who, sadly, has joined the choir eternal), so this is a bit of a science experiment: seeing how much of Lucia's personality was mille fleur personality.There is something to this, you know. Different colors (and certainly different breeds) share personality characteristics. It's uncontroversial in livestock circles; you get into trouble when you apply it to people. Except gingers.

So I'm disinclined to get into a Who's Got The Biggest Swinging Islamophobic Dong? contest with you. In that Easter piece I said that Islam cannot abide the other and is incompatible with a pluralist society, and throughout last week I reiterated my call for an end to mass Muslim immigration. If that's insufficiently butch for you, if that's "hampering attempts to stop the Islamization of the west", then please bugger off and get on with stopping the Islamization of the west your own way. And then you wouldn't need to mischaracterize what I wrote and put your words in my mouth, would you?By the way, this campaign to "stop the Islamization of the west that I'm "hampering", where is it? Is it a club you've formed? Are you the chairman? Can anyone fill in a membership application? Or are you blackballing?
If I sound a little tetchier than usual, it's because Sebastian Faulks' farewell to The Independent put me in a wistful and somewhat elegiac mode, mourning my carefree younger self. So I hope you'll forgive me if a guy who lives with death threats, and "human rights" complaints for "flagrant Islamophobia" with attendant legal bills, and tedious expenses like having to switch hotels at the last minute for security reasons, and US State Department and British Foreign Office advisories warning their nationals it's unsafe to go anywhere near my events, and even crappy restaurants deciding it's too dangerous to honor dinner reservations resents being told he's not puilling his weight and is "hampering attempts to stop the Islamization of the west".
'It Was Like Locusts': Parents Trample Kids, Steal Eggs During Easter Egg Hunt
An Easter egg hunt in Connecticut turned into a shoving match on Saturday, March 26th and ended with broken baskets and children in tears. In this case, it was the adults who could have used a "time out."The field adjacent to the PEZ Visitor Center in Orange, Connecticut was the site of a holiday Easter egg hunt that was free and open to the public.
..."When it came time for like 10:30, the parents just bum-rushed that area," Nicole Welch said.
"So we started talking to folks and, 'hey, you know, this is supposed to start at a...directed time that we've posted. Let's wait. We'll give a whistle. We'll give the signal to start this.' And that lasted about a minute. And then folks just rushed the field and took everything," Shawn Peterson, PEZ general manager said.
"When my son left he had a broken basket and was hysterically crying," Welch said.
Peterson and his staff tried to regain control, but things quickly spiraled out of control.
"It was like locusts. Everybody just descended and then left," Peterson said.
CDR Salamander on an Unremarked Detail of the Brussels Attacks
Brussels, as the HQ of the EU and NATO is the premier target in Europe along with Paris and London, closely followed by Rome and Berlin. The backstory to the attack in question; this was an inside job. That is the nuance.The attackers were not part of wave of million+ military aged males from radicalized Islamic nations that crashed over the borders of Europe in the last two years. No, these were native born Belgians, the end result of decades of wrongheaded national policies that had no historical record of success. Just the opposite, all of written history showed where polities being supported in Belgium would lead, but history was ignored in the arrogance of the now.
...The next question is; will the Belgian people hold their government accountable? Can they? As we outlined during the 2007 Belgian crisis, the entire nation can be held up by less than 25% of the nation's voters - specifically in this area by the Walloon Parti Socialiste. This sub-plot in the general European disaggregation in the face of waxing Islamism will only get worse.
NYT Columnist: It's Just a Giant Mystery Why People Become Terrorists
"After all this funding and this flurry of publications, with each new terrorist incident we realize that we are no closer to answering our original question about what leads people to turn to political violence," Marc Sageman, a psychologist and a longtime government consultant, wrote in the journal Terrorism and Political Violence in 2014. "The same worn-out questions are raised over and over again, and we still have no compelling answers."

Why The Government is Fighting The Little Sisters of the Poor: Control and Domination
It has nothing to do with providing contraceptives as even the government admits.
One of the most telling moments of oral argument came during General Verrilli's final two minutes, when Justice Alito highlighted a key government concession-that because some of the petitioners, including the Little Sisters, have a self-insured church plan, the government actually lacks authority under ERISA to make their third-party administrator provide contraceptive coverage. "In that situation," Justice Alito asked, "will the Little Sisters still be subject to fines for failing to comply?" General Verrilli's response was astonishing: "No, we don't think so." In other words, the government said it has no plans to actually enforce the mandate against the Little Sisters-and, by extension, any of the roughly 500 other religious organizations that have self-insured church plans. And even if the government coerced these organizations to sign its form, this would not make contraceptives flow.This raises an obvious question: If the government has no plan to enforce the mandate against the Little Sisters, why has it been resisting their case for the last three years? Apparently, the government knows it would be senseless to fine the Little Sisters $70 million per year when the forced compliance would not make contraception coverage available anyway. Why did it wait until oral argument in the Supreme Court to make this crucial concession?
At a bare minimum, the concession establishes a complete lack of a compelling interest, or any interest at all, in forcing the petitioners with self-insured church plans to sign a form that will have no legal effect. More broadly, if Congress did not vest the agencies with authority to make the mandate work as to roughly 500 religious organizations, how compelling could its interest be with respect to the others?
Your Daily Hate Click: The Price of Union: The Undefeatable South
In order to become the richest and most powerful country in the world, the United States had to include the South, and its inclusion has always come at a price. The Constitution (with its three-fifths compromise and others) awkwardly registered the contradiction between its democratic rhetoric and the foundational presence of slavery in the thirteen original states. The 1803 Louisiana Purchase-by which the U.S. acquired more slaveholding territory in the name of national expansion-set off the dynamic that led to the Civil War. The United States has declined every opportunity to let the South go its own way; in return, the South has effectively awarded itself a big say in the nation's affairs.

The World's Most Prolific Twitter User Tweets Mostly About Nothing
As Twitter celebrates its 10th birthday today, @VENETHIS will send approximately his 37,771,000th tweet. He's by far the service's most prolific user, according to Twitter Counter, a statistics and analytics service powered by Twitter that tracks the accounts with the most tweets.
Many of the other top tweeters are bots or brands or both - a Venezuelan news curator, an astrological-data provider, a credit-card company pushing offers. @VENETHIS, though, appears to be a real person in Japan2 who today mainly uses the site to find partners and opponents for online games. He looks like any other tweeter, a member of an online subculture lacking in contextual clues for outsiders: He tweets a lot to his 43,000 followers about games such as Splatoon - things like seeking a tag-team match or crowing about a new weapon.
Apple Made Another 4-inch iPhone Because 'Some People Simply Love Smaller Phones'
At an even simpler level, there was still customer demand for a small phone, and Apple decided to respond to it. "Many, many customers have asked for this," Apple CEO Tim Cook says.
The iPhone has gone through quite a few size changes at this point, which has made things a bit awkward for Apple. The original 3.5-inch iPhone was the perfect size because your thumb could comfortably reach every spot on it. Then the 4-inch iPhone was the perfect size because, well, your thumb could still reach every point on it, even if it wasn't always comfortable. Then the 4.7-inch iPhone was - oh who even knows, Apple just announced a bigger phone and then an even bigger 5.5-inch one. There was no explaining it.
Count me in with these people. I've held on to my iPhone 5 because it fits nicely in my pocket and because I can text and reach any point on the screen one-handed, without having to adjust my grip. My wife's iPhone 6 is not nearly as ergonomic. So for me the new iPhone SE is the next model.

The world is flat. Conceptually, I know what a mountain is. There is a
definition, a word, sometimes in my dreams even an image. But it is
like the memory of a painting: cold, distant, an imperfect
representation of an artist's mad dream. I have forgotten
what a mountain truly is. Smithers has gone half-mad as we progressed,
day after day, through the undulating grass. barely rolling hills
break the monotony, but they are not enough.
We found ourselves lost as we entered a part of the plains where the
hills rose above the surrounding countryside. There, amidst small
gullies and draws, we were turned around and lost. We spent nearly half
a day retracing out steps before we found the right
path.
The village nestled next to the river is a strange place. We approached
at dark, and were greeted with the lights of fires and the occasional
villager. The locals worship some strange demonic god that they call
the Jayhawk. I've only heard rumors of such
a religion. Despite my apprehension, a part of me longs to observe
their rituals, only read about in books long hidden away in the back of
libraries. It is said that their warriors engage in ritualistic combat
in honor of their gods, and if victorious the
natives fill the streets in drunken revelry. Couches are reportedly
sacrificed to the holy pyres.
Tomorrow I begin the final leg of my journey. I will leave Smithers
behind; I fear that his fragile mind would not handle the horrors to
come. I will venture west into the lands referred to by the locals as
Ri'leigh, "The Place of Dispair". The suffered
wails of the damned can be heard even this far out. I've met a young
warrior preparing his journey into that desolate place. He was drinking
a local spirit, and muttering a prayer against his cursed fate. The
language was unknown, but it sounded like two
words, "Airborne Qualified".
I go with God.

There was some sort of problem with the fuel/oxygen mixture in the first stage, and the engine shut down 5.4 seconds early when it ran out of liquid oxygen. This meant that the much smaller second stage engine had to burn about 80 seconds longer than planned to make up for the performance shortfall.
The second stage shut down, the spacecraft separated, and a little while later the second stage reignited for an 11 second deorbit burn. It lasted only 3 seconds before running out of fuel. It did deorbit, but came down outside the target area.
This means it was running on fumes when it shut down the first time to put Cygnus into orbit. It has been calculated that if the first stage had shut down one second before it did, the second stage would have been unable to achieve orbit.

So ... he's saying that the journal he published in is totally useless. Is that about it? Well, given that people who are too dumb to understand how a belligerent, aggressive, violent political ideology that worships terrorism can get people to become terrorists writes in it I think it goes without saying that the value of that journal is absolutely nil.

The SF Bay Area is absolutely full of that shit, with prog-parents giving the boys Barbie dolls and the girls Tonka bulldozers.
The kids quietly swap toys as soon as they can when their parents are away.
Sometimes when the parents keep giving them the toys they don't want, the toys get repurposed in politically incorrect ways. Barbie takes on COBRA in the hands of the boys, mowing down the evil hordes in fusillades of bullets. While the girls have the Tonka bulldozer busy excavating the foundations for her Dream House.
I don't want for a minute to discourage this. I foresee a bunch of these kids turning conservative at college just to annoy the parents who did so much to try to meddle with their childhoods.

Assuming he started with Twitter, that's 3.7 million tweets per year, which is more than 10,000 tweets per day. Assuming this nebbish never sleeps that's more than 7 tweets every single minute. The guy farts out a tweet every 8 seconds.

A few years ago my SIL was really negative about iphones. When I got mine she asked me in a disgusted way, why I wanted one. Then my brother, her husband, got one, and shortly after that she did. You should see the two of them sitting there playing with all the apps.
Until you have one, you don't realize how handy they are. I use the flashlight, the timer, games while waiting in line anywhere, looking up addresses while driving around, gps, finding movie times. It just goes on and on.

The Multi-Culti Cult is not interested in the efficacy of its purported ideals as anything other than a vessel to obliterate the targeted nation.
It is not as if the Romans were brilliant in teaching the eventual leaders of the Goths and Visigoths their methods and military theory.
Further the Romans demanded that the Barbarians who would eventually unass them purport and comport themselves as Roman subjects for generations, until they got too lazy after 250 years or so to demand it.

Oh no, they want the free shit.
Years ago while working for a radio station, we were at some event giving away some product samples. People were running up grabbing them out of our hands before we could hand them to them. Parents were yelling at their kids to grab as much as they could, and they had no idea what it was we were giving away, they just knew "free shit".
Worst part? 15 feet away from where we were set up, they would just drop the samples on the ground when they saw what it was.
So, not only did we not give it out to as many different people as possible, about half would just drop the samples and then we had to go clean it up.
Oh yeah, a few of the assholes decided that dropping it on the ground wasn't enough, they started throwing them back at the people handing them out.

The Federal government is now about trying to justify as obtaining as much power as they can grab.
The State governments are about trying to limit the Federal Governments power so that they can justify obtaining as much power as they can grab.
The local municipal government is about trying to fend off the Feds and State governments attempts to grab as much power so that they can justify obtaining as much power as they can grab.
In short, the citizens get fucked because all levels of government now see themselves as needing as much power as they can get to "help the people".

Throwing something at a fellow human that just gave you something for free really shows you how depraved some people's minds are, and exactly what the entitlement mindset really looks like.
Saw what little respect they had for others' property when some teenage kid tried to set fire to the remote broadcast unit one night WHILE WE WERE BROADCASTING IN IT. When I knocked the lighter out of his hand and put my hands on his shoulder and arm and escorted him off the unit, he got pissed at me and started mouthing off to me. Should have just dropped his fat little ass.

The islamic peoples believe implicitly in the Q'uaran and the Hadith, both of wish strictly enjoin muslims to not rest until all of mankind is brought under the yoke of islam at the point of a sword if necessary. Death to unbelievers is one of their most sacred precepts and jihad is central to all of their beliefs and efforts. It is not hard to know why muslim terrorists do what they do---they tell us clearly over and over and over again. The only mystery is which muslim on which day is going to decide to do what his/her religion commands them to do.

A few things that I'm very honest with myself about. I have an addictive personality. Something's fun/enjoyable, let's keep rocking that train. That's how I ended up chewing/dipping for over a decade. I quit back in Aug. 246 days and I still would shoot you in the face for a pinch of skoal.
My mother's side of the family was rampantly alcoholic. Spent weeks in hospital going through DT's, alcoholic. My father's side is more...functional. I'm gonna have my one to two drinks max each night. I'm not going to go overboard and I'm perfectly capable of going about my life, but I'm gonna be mighty pissed off if I don't get my one to two drinks.
So occasionally I go without for a while, a week, two weeks, a month. Just to make sure I haven't crossed any lines and have a more serious issue than drinking cheap booze. So, I'll be ready for a drink on Friday.

(and as an aside, a couple days after this event a medi-copter went down in AL with all 4 aboard killed)
So they did the drop, kids WERE present (mom told me they wouldn't be), shit got blown all over the place, kids got scared, it was a fucking minor disaster. City officials say they won't be doing that one again.

use the stolen words which they overhear when they listen, and peep, and
wait up above in the branches. Their way is not our way. They are without
leaders. They have no remembrance. They boast and chatter and pretend that
they are a great people about to do great affairs in the jungle, but the
falling of a nut turns their minds to laughter and all is forgotten. We of
the jungle have no dealings with them. We do not drink where the monkeys
drink; we do not go where the monkeys go; we do not hunt where they hunt;
we do not die where they die.

I think a lot of what passes for "science" these days is junk.

Doesn't really matter. Free will still reigns. You have to take that first drink. And the next. And the next. And the next. And you have to refuse to see yourself and realize there's a problem. Genetics didn't do that. You did.

Does he use the extra "l" in the word? Fustercluck is a cleaner version of the two words, with their front end consonants switched. So... Fuster is not fuster, it's cluster, and cluck is not cluck (you'll get it).
I can use the word in mixed company, and those who get it can't say anything because they get it, and those who don't are the ones I'm trying not to offend.

Once upon a time in my alcohol-centered younger days, I stopped in at one of my local haunts (this, by the way was a nightly activity) and ordered a beer from the bar tender. We knew each other by this time, in a barfly/bartender way. She put the beer down in front of me, and I looked at it for a second, and said "You know, I'm drinking this beer for the wrong reason...". She picked it back up, looked me in the eye and said, "Then don't drink it."
I went home and thought about it. A lot.
Alcohol can and does ruin lives. Anyone who has had an alcoholic in their family knows.
This doesn't mean that I quit drinking, I just quit drinking compulsively.

There is really no such thing as an "addictive personality." We are humans, which means we are subject to addiction. All of us.
Those who aren't addicted to something merely haven't fully encountered and embraced the substance or behavior that would otherwise bring them to their knees.

Yeah, people who have been there, know and understand.
The one thing I would hope anyone would also understand, those who struggle with addictions are not necessarily weaker than those who don't. Maybe (probably) they made some bad choices, but I know many many remarkable people who struggle with (and sometimes lose to) their addictions because they are strong, not weak.

Where something like this is concerned...I get to call the shots. So I exercise a little caution. I don't let things get too far out of hand. Set limits. And make sure it hasn't become a crutch I can't do without.

Nailed it. And that's why I don't believe in treating addiction like a disease. It's a choice. You didn't choose to infect yourself with a flu virus, or any other condition. But you do choose to put something down the hatch, light up, or whatever else you might do. That choice has consequences. You can also choose not to, and that choice might also have consequences. I'd know.
I'm an ex-smoker, and I used to justify my smoking with fatalism - that nobody in my family lives long enough for it to matter, and with depression - my life was pretty miserable and I didn't particularly want to live to see 80. And then my life changed, 80 didn't sound so bad, and I wanted to stick around. No more smokes and I'll try to defy genetics.
I'm also a reformed alcoholic. I went through the binge drinking early twenties, to teetotal, to usually but not always having one cider after work. It's a choice, every time. That choice, either way, will have consequences. But the important part is that it's a choice. Addiction isn't something that just happens, and treating it like it is denies agency and responsibility.

I was in pretty good shape at the time and I had to crank on them pretty good to get one open.
So as I'm heading up the steps I glance over my shoulder and see a female classmate a few steps behind me. I open the door, step to the side, and wave her through. "After you, ma'am." *with a smile*
Walks right up to me, looks me in the eye, "I can get the door myself." and storms through.

My parents hardly ever went to the movies. When "Memphis Belle" was showing, because my dad worked on airplanes during WWII, I bought them gift certificates to the movies.

oh I don't know. I think that is overly cynical. I don't like the disease-ification of everything either, but there are some really severe cases of addiction where the addict is just doing everything for the sake of getting high/drunk/stoned once again. you really ought to watch the show Intervention some time. there are some people there who are just entitled hipster types who get in over their heads, sure, but there are also some people there who are trying to cover up some unbearable pain in their past. so their choices are either: (1) confront the awful abuse/torture/grief from their past, or (2) continue down the spiral towards eventual death from drugs. it's not pretty either way.

There has been scant whispers of the American Chief Executive planning to meet with Erdogan at the Islamic facility, such as the April 20, 2015 report by Fox News. However, it was noted at the time that Obama had agreed to attend with Erdogan "in principle." It was also cited "If Obama's schedule allows at the time of the opening, he will accompany Erdogan."

Now it's pretty easy to go from bird to isopod -- birds crap all over the place, including where isopods feed.....so eggs in the bird crap are easy-peasy. But how to get the larvae from the isopods into the birds?
Turns out, infected isopods lose their fear of wandering around without cover, and of being in the light. The only evolutionary glosses left to be added to this would be a back rash in the shape of concentric circles, and some auditory emissions tweeting "bird food, bird food, bird food" from the isopod -- but evolution hasn't gotten that far......yet.
But the poor little isopods probably say, "I have my lifestyle totally under control -- I can choose where to put my foot and where 23 others will follow, and I choose to investigate grazing opportunities in the middle of the sidewalk." Even though, y'know -- larvae ate their brains.

This was right after that one hit he had was getting play. Everyone is acting pretty normal as the two warmup acts go through their sets, and while Gotye performed a couple of his other songs....
As soon has he launches into the hit song, every asshole in the building, i.e. about ten thousand of the fifteen or so thousand in attendance, whips out their phone and starts video recording-in most cases after migrating as close to the stage as possible. As soon as the song is over, off go the phones, out of the arena goes half the crowd. Gotye does the rest of his set, which was pretty extensive, and the encores-which were also pretty lengthy, to a mostly empty arena. Only in Connecticut....

Some guy took a dislike to me for no reason I knew. Started tailgating, pulling up beside me to make threatening gestures, pulling in front of me and slowing down. Serious hassling and I couldn't shake him.
I had the family in the car and so it was concerning.
I finally pulled off onto the shoulder and stopped. He stopped a ways in front of me. He got out of the car and started walking back.
Instead of getting out and bumping chests, at the last possible moment, I just pulled our car back onto the road and took off at a good clip. I took the first exit and drove the back way home. Clean getaway.
Like I said, I have no idea what the guy's provocation was, but a) I'm glad he didn't have any kind of weapon, and b) that kind of thing really leaves a bad taste in the mouth for the rest of the day.
I try to be sympathetic to folks with anger issues - got enough of my own - and errors of perception/negative interpretation of events - I've had lots of experience with that, too, mine and others' - but it's not all that easy to be forgiving when the fam is threatened!

I'm quite familiar with that area. It's filled with Italian social climbers from West Haven and Fair Haven (that's a neighborhood in New Haven) and East Haven.
They combine the aggressive anti social attitude of the 2nd generation immigrant with the sense of responsibility of petty criminals especially about anything concerning their children.
They have a very protective attitude to the point of being dangerous. And Orange county (used to be countryside) is filled with them because of all the new construction that was going on there in the '70's, 80's and probably the '90's. All the families that finally made it that were living in Italian enclaves around and in New Haven (and some from NYC) moved to Orange once they got some money.
I have nothing against Italians per se. I just know a lot of them from there and they most all have some nasty attitudes.

Had a near-miss Sunday, near Silver Star, MT. Headed north on the 2-lane, here comes a cluster of vehicles southbound. Camper truck, followed by an older Mercedes sedan, followed a little gray jelly-bean car. Jelly bean pulls out to pass Mercedes; doesn't see my vehicle, because curve. Well abreast of the Mercedes as I approach the cluster. I saw it happening, and went off on my shoulder as far as I could, Mercedes driver did likewise, and jelly bean went up the middle. Had I been snoozing, could have been ugly.

I don't know about that, E -- the usual school-year cutoff is typically later in the year, Q4. I ended up being 5 months young for Kindergarten and first grade, then skipping second grade.
As far as being uncomfortable socializing ahead of grade, I think that there's the same "uncanny valley" as with robotics. There was a freshman in some of the computer science courses I was taking who was, I think, 12. He was "one of the gang" in a way that someone battling teen angst could not have been.

Strangely, though you can't convince liberals of this, concealed gun carriers for the most part are far and above the most law abiding and patient of any people you will meet in your daily life.
They have so much more to lose and they have the potential to wield life or death and they are aware of it at all times.
Some don't and get blase about it and they should have their carry licenses suspended (not taken away).
I say if they want to use a driver's license as an analogy for carrying a gun, then they should make it real easy and only fine those who violate the rules without injuring or killing anyone and they should make it easier to get your rights back.
But then that would be too logical. Something liberals are intrinsically unable to do.

I don't hope anymore though. Hope is a killer. Hope makes you think things will get better and then it destroys you when it doesn't.

452 Gushka!!!! How nice to see you!!! What's Grim doing
these days? How are Uncle and Niece Horse? Do you even let Niece Horse
see her stuffed toy these days -- hoping to keep her quest for total
world domination in check?
Posted by: cthulhu at March 29, 2016 02:31 AM (EzgxV)
i think Uncle Horse is destined for the Moron Pet Thread, and Niece Horse does get to see her toy if she promises not to sneeze on it. Uncle Horse has a new trainer right now and is away from home at school with his new friend Floyd. I hear they have been rolling in mud in their ample spare time, and was sent photos as proof. I have been tempted to sent them to you. He was really caked. One of his Kitties has taken to sleeping in the Tack room and has a bad abscess on her face from a fight with a skunk. I am hoping she will let me take her to the vet. If she gets in the carrier that will be the last of her Kitten littering ways, and i will get her fixed as well.
wish me luck tomorrow, with getting her in the cat carrier!

Uncle Horse should definitely hit the pet thread....as a commenter. With pics of him with his kittehs. Niece Horse should absolutely be held to best behavior with her toy. Otherwise, she'll be rigging elections and engaging in sabotage.

Her name is Lulu. shes the sweetest little tabby calico, who was so shy i fed her for years but never touched her, until Sissys wedding. When i got back from being up north, she jumped in my lap and purred and purred and let me pet her all over. you could practically hear her telling me "Dont EVER leave me again!"
Grimmy got a new Job working as a Lab Tech, for the same scratch as the last welding gig. His boss is an old friend of both mine and his and we are thrilled to death for this (upwardly mobile) opportunity. He just made me pick what state we will move to if the california nonsense gets out of hand, and Mom is no longer a factor. Dad says Florida or Texas is fine with him! ok then, taking dad with us to Texas. Hope mom is incorrect about her health troubles. She insists she will be fine one minute and the next admits she is being treated for esophageal cancer and has a mass in her pancreas. Ugh. Growing old sucks. Stay tuned, we will learn more on that in May. Docs are watching her and they are the best.
Oh and my new stallion might get Married to Niece Horse. I really want to see a baby out of them, if not Lulu.

The reason there are so many power plants burning natural gas is that gas is the standby fuel. There is a lot of CAPACITY but not so much production from gas. Gas plants are started and stopped daily as your consumption changes.
That used to be an iron rule but now that gas is so much cheaper more actual PRODUCTION is shifting to gas.
Big coal plants and nukes are "base load" plants. They like to run 100%, day and night. They make a lot more production relative to capacity than gas plants have historically.

It makes me wonder if there's a backstory, like were the rioting parents activists, like for BLM or illegals?
The MSM so often misleads by omitting information, that when I see a weird story like this, my default assumption is that a key detail is being omitted for ideological reasons. Maybe their libtardedness is just inducing paranoia in me.

Good thoughts for Lulu -- lotsa stuff would collapse to a less anxious state once she's in a crate.
Only specific parts of Florida or Texas are acceptable on my matrix. NC, TN, AZ, and GA have acceptable parts, as well -- but some are kind-of squeezy.
Good news for Grim. He's the sort of guy who wouldn't put up with the "insect" label above.

As someone who moved to Texas from Florida, I have to recommend Texas. South Florida has become a Leftist social experiment, Central Florida has a rampant and toxic drug problem that's responsible for most of the "Florida Man" news stories. While I was there, both areas had a problem where all of the job postings were fake, consisting of an employer wanting 5+ years of experience or certifications that can only be acquired on the job as preconditions for getting the job. This was an excuse to be able to go "see, we can't find Americans to do the job, we have to import more labor!"
My mom and brother say it's not as bad as it used to be, but I have no desire to find out. I'm doing better than I ever have in Texas.

I am sorry for being so unworthy of your threads in the past. - And the same goes for ace. I'm sorry for being a total jackass.
I just finished watching the film _Sling Blade_. And it really touched me again.
I guess I just need some kind of release. Something something something.
I saw the film when it came out in the late 90's. I was at UVa. I saw it on the Downtown Mall at the Jefferson - which I think is closed now.
It was a very powerful film for me then.
But somehow it means even more to me now.
It's one of the few perfect films in the world. I can't say.
Anyway, it was really good, and I just wish Mr. Thornton (or someone else) would make another movie that good - or even close to that good. (Not a sequel, of course.)
I don't know how end credit music could be that powerful, but somehow it is.

One thing that was kind of a drag was realizing the three boxes full of vintage porn from the 70s and 80s had nowhere to go. I kept the half dozen Playboys with signed centerfolds but was at a loss to think who might want the rest. I was almost tempted to see if I could sneak into my long ago junior high and leave them in a place that was a sort of secret hangout for those ditching class but not leaving campus. It probably wouldn't get much appreciation from kids who've grown up with broadband. The more literate stuff, like the Playboys and Penthouses would make for an interesting history lesson, nekkid pictures aside.

Shorted switch or wire. Since it was abrupt, I'd say a switch somewhere (another safety switch perhaps) has shorted to ground.
That doesn't happen often, they usually short out open but they can under certain conditions short out to ground. Or a motor winding or timer switch has shorted out.
Got a volt ohmmeter? you can most likely trace the circuit. Start by removing wires to isolate the fuse so you can find out what branch of wiring is connected to the short. then find out what is grounded or shorted in the case of motor windings.
You still may have to call a tech in to fix it but you can eliminate a lot of time by tracing it yourself.
Good luck.

Philip K. Dick wrote a story in reaction to Roe v. Wade called 'The Pre-persons' in which abortion was legal up to the age where a child was considered fully sentient. This was regarded as the point at which basic algebra could be mastered, typically around the age of twelve years. This, of course, meant low IQ offspring were fair game until they were no longer minors. (I don't recall the story delving into whether they were more likely to receive capital punishment as adults.)
