Overnight Open Thread (5-2-2016)
-- from an amicus brief filed in a lawsuit over who owns the Klingon language
Quote of the Day II - Modern Academia Edition
The following article introduces the hobosexual as a concept in queer materialism. Mapped at the intersection of not-for-profit hobo sex and labor practices historically, the hobosexual collapses the apparent impasse between the material and the symbolic so prevalent in queer studies. The concept represents the redeployment of queer as anti-capitalist practice; highlighted are the non-normative hobo practices of nonproductive expenditure, but also the recognition that these abnormalities are organized by capitalist systems of normalization designed to engender profit. The article also considers the degree to which industrial capitalism affected both hobo mobility and hobo anti-capitalist practice in the 19th century. Generated out of hobo history and queer as anti-capitalist practice, the hobosexual represents resistance to capitalist systems of normalization and enables connections, not necessarily between identities, but between anti-capitalist practices generated out of difference.
-- from a paper by Professor Heather Tapley of the University of Victoria. Also reason #22 why snuffing hobos is both necessary and fun.
Because it's a liquid asset with a steady market.
Thieves and burglars are very aware of the markets for stolen goods-and what sells in those markets. Most thieves have a "mental loot list," the authors write, that they keep in mind as they approach stores or enter homes.Thieves may even steal to order. One thief volunteered that when an acquaintance requested a "Mark V Escort, soft top, in cream," he called him when he stumbled upon that exact car. Then he stole it and sold it to him.
Generally, though, thieves steal what is popular on the illicit market. The top of thieves' mental loot list features expensive electronics like Playstations, GPS systems, and DVD players. Thieves can sell items for around a third of their retail value, according to the report, or for roughly half their value if they sell them to second hand shops. For expensive electronics, that means some solid, quick cash.
But price is not the only consideration. The "prolific thieves" interviewed by law enforcement suggest that the ease of selling something outweighs its retail value.
...In fact, the consistent demand for products like soap on the illicit market can make it as good as stealing cash. Tide laundry detergent has widely been reported as a favorite target of drug gangs. In 2013, New York Magazine ran a story that described a Safeway store that lost $10,000 to $15,000 a month to thefts of Tide detergent.
CIA Director John Brennan Feels That the Missing 28 Pages of the 9/11 Report are "Inaccurate"
On the other hand there are reasons to suspect that Brennan may have been compromised and/or has ulterior motives for preventing their release.
Can Stating the Catholic Church's Position on Gender Get You Arrested at a Catholic University?
Answer: Yes.
It's uncommon at Jesuit universities these days for someone to openly share a traditional Catholic viewpoint.
When it happened at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, the school was so spooked it called the Los Angeles Police Department. Both the police and the university's Bias Incident Response Team are investigating the stated belief that only two genders exist, male and female, as a hate crime.
Is 'Yes Means Yes' Unstoppable?
Needless to say, skeptics are losing this fight. 'Yes means yes' is on the books at a majority of colleges, a growing number of states are formally codifying the standard for all institutions in their purview, and the legal academy is warming to it. It's only a matter of time before states start mandating "yes means yes" not only in college disciplinary procedures, but in the criminal codes as well. Given the pace of cultural change on sex-related political questions, it's not unimaginable that opposition to affirmative consent will in itself be an extreme and marginalized view 10 years from now.
In the future every normal human relationship will technically also be a 'rapey' one. And you'll remain free only so long as your partner (and the authorities) choose to not make an issue of it.
Taxpayers Start Eyeing the Ivory Tower
There seems to be no safe haven for America's wealthiest colleges these days. Congressional Republicans have been asking pointed to college presidents presiding over endowments in excess of $1 billion about how the funds are being spent; Connecticut legislators briefly pondered stripping the Yale endowment ($24 billion) of its tax-exempt status; and now, local taxpayers in Princeton, New Jersey, are trying to force their local university (endowment: $23 billion) to pay property taxes on its large swathes of real estate.
...But part of the impulse also stems from the failure of the elite higher education establishment, which seems to more and more Americans like an expensive luxury that primarily functions to perpetuate the privileges of the already-wealthy or the politically favored, all while reaping expensive tax subsidies from ordinary Americans who can never dream of an Ivy League education. Highly-endowed colleges, in other words, seem like an underperforming asset, whose wealth would better be put to use for other purposes.
It turns out, America has been stockpiling cheese and butter and has amassed more golden treats than any time in past thirty years. Why? Europeans, trade, and because cheese is delicious.
Good Samaritan Killed Attempting To Make Citizen's Arrest of Man Who Had Just Shot His Girlfriend
Shooting bad people aggressively does not come naturally to good people.This is a good thing for our culture, which is very non-violent, but is a bad thing when violence is the tool you need to solve the problem.
If someone pulls a firearm with the expectation that the presence of their gun will force compliance from a criminal, they have the wrong mindset, and they have probably already lost the fight. If the suspect has grown up around violence, there is a decent chance that seen numerous friends shot and survive. He is not afraid of your puny handgun and your half-hearted attempts to command him.
How the Muskogee County, OK Police Department Tried to Steal $53,000 From a Christian Band
Eh Wah is a refugee from Burma, a Texas resident, and a citizen for more than 10 years. He's a volunteer manager for a Christian rock band from Burma, Klo & Kweh Music Team.
Muskogee County, Oklahoma, police pulled him over for a broken tail light and found $53,000 in his car. That money was raised by the band, whose finances he managed. It was to be donated to a religious college in Burma, an orphanage in Thailand (money was "bundled in two or three dozen sealed envelopes with the orphanage's name written on them"), and some was just for the operating costs of the band itself.
Wah wasn't charged with a crime but the police took the money anyway as a 'civil asset forfeiture'. They only returned it after the story went viral.
The United States Air Force never really wanted GPS. The 621B program, the precursor to GPS, was underfunded. After it evolved into the GPS program in the early 1970s, the Air Force largely neglected it, to the point of disowning it and defunding it. A few times, it tried to kill its own creation, and GPS was kept alive by the Pentagon's largesse.
One reason the Air Force was slow to embrace GPS is the space-based projects were never seen as a priority. "The Air Force is not a big user of space," says Scott Page.."The Air Force gets to build for space, but the Marine Corps, Army, and Navy are much more reliant on actual space services than the Air Force itself is. The budget for space is in the Air Force, but in terms of the number of customers and users, they're all in the other services.
American and Coalition Special Forces Seen Operating in Syria

I recently saw a teenaged patient who lacked energy, got out of breath easily and had almost passed out a couple of times. Mom proudly pronounced her a lifelong vegetarian. Turns out she was severely anemic (normal Hgb ~15, hers ~5). Mother had read (on the internet) that iron was bad so was giving her only a partial dose and told the girl (in my presence) that she should eat more kale. I suggested that she eat more red meat and liver, a suggestion that was met with great suspicion. My superpowers are limited.

Can't say today has been a great one. I had to make a trip to the ER due to chest pain and out of control blood pressure and glucose (Yes, I've been taking my meds and exercising). Thankfully, my heart is still looking good. Not sure what's causing it, though, so I'll bring it up on my next visit to the cardiologist.
Just before that, one of the employees decided to come tell me -- while I'm on the air -- that they have no confidence in me as a program director, and told me all the artists and songs they won't play because they just don't like them.
Tomorrow will be a hoot.

Magpies are smart, too. But ravens are very long-lived, compared to other birds. So they can accumulate wisdom. It's interesting to walk in the woods where there are ravens, and hear their vocalizations. It's not hard to believe they have a language of some sort.

There are only two sexes which identifies whether a person is man or woman. Using the word gender is a Trojan horse and ceding the argument. This is language corrupting thought.

How the Muskogee County, OK Police Department Tried to Steal $53,000 From a Christian Band
1. Don't we all know that this kind of "civil forfeiture" of large amounts of cash is a widespread problem? Alas, dear old Oklahoma is (obviously) not immune to the syndrome.
2. Would never have made the news if it wasn't the "church fundraising" angle; seems t'me they're actually kinda lucky it was cops got their big bag of cash, and not some genuine thieves where there would be no use complaining or hope of recovery.
3. My Blog Heap o'Links page noted that the cops had agreed to return the cash, 'way, 'way back on April 25, and, as the linked article notes, I commented "Folks whose stories didn't go viral, not so lucky."
4. However, as Heap o'Linked Apr 28, Oklahomans whose assets are unjustly seized through the civil asset forfeiture process can recover their attorney fees under a new state law. Gov. Mary Fallin ...signed legislation ...that allows for the recovery of attorney fees in forfeiture cases... - not a complete repudiation of the guilty-until-proven-innocent practice, but encouragement to sue for recovery is a step.

I agree.
Going further, gender is a function of language, and exists to describe things based on apparent biological sex (where observable), or lack thereof (for non-living or unknown things). There's nothing spiritual or mystical about it, and the idea that a soul of one sex can be born into the wrong body is an inherently religious idea since it pertains to souls. Making laws based on their cult dogmas is a clear and flagrant violation of the separation of church and state.

"Despite global aspirations, Tran has always been a local boy. Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, his family moved to Santa Ana when he was 7, and he graduated from Saddleback High School. Now 33, Tran lives in Irvine with his wife and two young kids. As a devout Christian, he devotes much of his free time to Operation Christmas Child, preparing and packing shoeboxes with toys, school supplies and personal items to send to children in developing nations. He says it is one of his family's most important priorities. "We put together 600 boxes last year, and this year, we're going to try to double that," Tran says proudly."

That joke is partially based on a real incident.
My dad and some co-workers were listening to a bug they had installed in a suspect's home. One of the LE agents was a Native American. He kept referring to one of the suspects as a sailor.
Finally, they asked him why he kept calling the guy a sailor. Dead serious he replied- because he keeps saying Yo Ho.
After the laughing stopped he was educated on the slang term.

"Broken Taillight" to them finding the money? The article leaves out all
the in-between steps.
Most likely they asked to search the car, and like a dumbshit, he said "Yes". Never, ever do that.
It doesn't really matter. If you say no, they'll bring in a drug sniffing dog, which they have the right to do before releasing you. The dog will "alert" on command and they've got "probable cause". It happens all the time. Really, what else do you expect when the agency that receives a significant portion of it's funding from civil asset forfeiture is also in charge of seizing the assets in the first place?

Can't say today has been a great one. I had to make a trip to the ER due to chest pain and out of control blood pressure and glucose (Yes, I've been taking my meds and exercising). Thankfully, my heart is still looking good. Not sure what's causing it, though, so I'll bring it up on my next visit to the cardiologist.
Just before that, one of the employees decided to come tell me -- while I'm on the air -- that they have no confidence in me as a program director, and told me all the artists and songs they won't play because they just don't like them.
Tomorrow will be a hoot.

So I put the refurbed Honda engine into the XR80 frame that had wheels on it. Got the rear brake unstuck, and the chain tension set. Made a mag cover for the engine by welding thin sheet steel to metal tubes for the attaching bolts to pass through. It's not airtight, but will keep splash and most dust out of it. Made a clutch handle. Welded up the busted shift lever. Freed up the front brake, and put a proper 12 mm bolt in as an axle, and made a required spacer for opposite the brake. Cleaned up a carb. Mounted the coil and hooked up the (minimal) wiring. Mounted an old garden tractor seat, lacking the right kind of seat. It works, sorta. Bolted a lawnmower fuel tank to the back edge of the seat, resting upon the rear fender.
Put fuel and oil in it. After a couple of false tries (bad spark plug, and air filter soggy with gasoline), I got it started, and set the idle. Hopped on, and did a few orbits of the yard. No front brake, because no brake handle, but rear brake works. Clutch works poorly, because wrong handle is stiff-acting. I will snag a pair of handles at a bike shop tomorrow. But it really runs quite well, and lugs me around, no problem. I am very happy with it.

There is a classic rock station, KCDX, Florence-Phoenix, that I listen to when in Arizona. They have a pretty long playlist, that changes periodically, and do a lot of B-sides and album cuts, and alternate takes the commercial oldies stations never touch. Also, no ads, none at all, and next to no spoken word stuff, save for their own promo every quarter-hour or so. They don't even read back the titles of songs played. You can get that off their website, and they also stream their audio. And, from time to time, they go off the air for hours or days at a time, and then pop back up. I don't know how they are funded. Beats me.
And Midnight Special? Look up the original by Leadbelly. He wrote it. And a lot of other standards, too.

Back before the megacorps took over most of radio, there were songs you'd hear almost everywhere, but each station would also have songs that were regional hits that would get played, though a little less often.
I know through one person that works for one of the big radio groups that's not the case anymore, really. Playlists made at the station he worked at had to go through his program director, then get approved by a regional, then a national PD. Too much centralized controls sucks for radio just as badly as government...although, with radio, you can always turn it off...

In like situations, I've used regular "copy" because I could prioritize the types of data I wanted to snag. For instance -- half the shit in your /windows/programs is obsolete crap, anyway, so if your disk is about to fail, that's the last thing you should try to snag. Far better to snag your email box, your documents and pictures, any specific data files.....and, yes, I've had a disk progressively fail as I did this and finally stepped away and hit the buzzer -- "I got enough that I'd rather walk away from the stuff still there than attempt more recovery."

If you've not listened to Shine Down's song "Second Chance", you should. Dude's got pipes, and sounds a lot like Gary Puckett from the '60s band, Union Gap.
Given that they outsold the Beatles in the U.S., in (I think '6
, that's not a bad sound.
But of course, he's all face tatted and has enough rivets in his head to pull in Single Sideband frequencies....but, the dude can sing.
Also, give a listen to the band Disturbed, their cover of the Art Garfunkel classic Sound of Silence is just insanely good.
No, it's frankly, great.
And the wee lass who is the lead singer for Paramour? Chick has lungs that go down to her toes. Think Alanis Morrisette but with better actual vocal range, power and skill.
Classic Rock stations just keep playing the same ol' loop of what.... 50 songs? Pity.
Find me a station that'll play Traffic's "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys", the whole LP side, without interruptions.
Until we get radio stations that get back to the early 1970s ethos of the music-freak DJ with his own box of cool vinyl, inside-industry knowledge and connections, we'll be doomed to suffer the homogenous dreck proffered by coiffed corporate courtiers who pass themselves off as movers and shakers in the field of music radio.

There's college campus stations, but all are either entirely taken over by professionals (such as CSULB's KKJZ and USC's KUSC), or prety much only available on the web (Long Beach City College's KLBC, CSULB's KSUL, and UC Irvine's KUCI).
On top of that, too many of the students are all trying to one-up each other on the hipster scale by playing lots of weird genre shit that no one else has ever heard of.

This is especially sad for me, because one of the things my grandfather frequently did was Chief Engineer for radio or TV stations. He did one in Parkersburg, WV, one in Santa Maria, CA, a college station in SD (they gave him an honorary degree for it -- he'd done it for decades with, officially, an eighth-grade education).....doing a "radio" station without the radio is eliminating my grandad's contribution.

Shine Down is pretty good. Their songs are generally about power and life. Not Christian or anything but they're not on about drugs or shit.

More like 400.
"Second Chance" is a great song. I've sung that at karaoke. Paramour is good, too.
There's also a band called Fitz And The Tantrums that I'm a big fan of. Their album, "Picking Up The Pieces", is almost like a lost soul album from the late 60s/early 70s, with contemporary twists.
As far as radio stations go...it IS still a business, and you have to give the people what they want. I've discovered after thirty years in the business that most people just want to hear their favorite songs and aren't that big on music discovery. And the bigger the city the station is in, the tougher the competition, and the less incentive there is to play songs that aren't deemed "safe", hence the small music libraries.
I'd like to think there's room for more adventurous stations along with the usual mass-appeal formats, but they just don't make the money, and I like to get paid so I can keep the electricity on and blather here at the HQ.

Enjoy the streaming audio, it's better quality than their broadcast.
But, yeah, it's the only station in the Valley of the Sunstroke where you can hear Donovan followed by Molly Hatchet with a chaser of the Turtles.

Used to have one. WTAO in Carbondale/Murphysboro. (SIU) 3 times, in one night, they played "Sufficiently Breathless" (Captain Beyond). This was in the early 80's. IIRC, they also did that full side of "Low Spark.."
I knew then, that I had found my station.

Funny story: when I was a (poor) DJ on Long Beach City College's student station KLBC, which could only broadcast on-campus, the program director, a guy named Greg Spillane who really knew his stuff, was just dying for the opportunity to work at KNAC.
Well, he finally got hired... then *two weeks later,* KNAC switched over to an all-HEAVY METAL format. I could picture his head exploding, he *hated* metal and thought bands like Plimsouls and The Smiths were fantastic.
Of course, tastes and times change and I found out a few years later that he learned to love metal. But oh man, that had to be heartbreaking for him at first.

No need for an Alt Rock station to be playing the latest cut from the Vienna Symphony Orchestra doing their twenty-ninth rendition of Beethoven's Fifth, right?
The rest of the shift could be standard and safe formatting, for financial reasons, as you said.
But if our intrepid D.J. were to put something on the air that caught on, went viral, became a hit....how much might that redound to the station's credit, in the long run?
And especially if they find such a tune every year or so. The artists would be beating down the door to get just a *chance* at some airplay.
I miss the old FM stations from San Diego, CA in the early to mid '70s. At least as far as the listener was concerned, those were indeed, good times.

Although it's funny: When we'd go south to the San Diego/Riverside area for camping in the early 1980s, we both enjoyed listening to KOLA, which was (at leat then obviously) 100% automated.
And then their was the Mexican radio station, The Mighty 690, which would actually *speed up* every song so they could cram in more music (and commercials).

Any particular "station" is just a computer system running the feed to the tower that is actually broadcasting the signal, which is "up in the mountains". Both radio and TV. That end of it, the actual EM radio signal transmission is its own world. The guys that run that don't know anything about the content. There's a feed of the content that is to be modulated on that broadcast carrier signal and that's all they need to know.
In that complex, they all share studios. The local talk guys get most of the studio time, 'cause that's what the content there is. For the music station, the content is being generated by that computer system, with the occasional need for the "DJ" to run his mouth, which requires a studio for a little bit.

It's not so much that I dislike the streaming or the wider selection -- I don't think I'd mind at all if they didn't have radio callsigns and call themselves "stations". But to be "radio" or "broadcast" without radio or broadcasting, without mixers and amps and towers in the boonies, oscilloscopes and modulators and frequency standards for maintenance....it's replacing neighbors with pod-people.

Finished watching season 2 of Agent Carter tonight.
They do a pretty good job of bringing the post-WW2 era to life - but, in one of the episodes, they have a character saying, "This is my surprised face." I'd wager that phrase didn't get into the language until some time this century.
Where's the etymology of phrases website?

He was very good, and totally local, until he was "discovered" at some point (probably NFL broadcasts). Then he became the "Famous San Diego Chicken" or something like that.
He had quite the hilarious act at the minor league hockey games (original Gulls), a more intimate setting where he could be seen by the whole place. Especially when showing disapproval of unfavorable calls by the ref (there was only one back then).

On one memorable occasion, we were travelling in an area where a major water pipeline had been laid, and a large saddle had been carved out between two hills.....then there was a graded area between.....and, off-in-the-distance, there was another saddle between two other hills.
Late, as usual, to the party, I fought my way up to the first saddle, only to spy everyone else already scaling the second saddle. I should also point out that I was pushing four diopters of astigmatism correction, but didn't use eyeglasses while riding to keep them from being embedded in my skull.
So I floored it across the graded area to catch up. About halfway across, the graders had decided to put in a drainage ditch -- this involved putting a three-foot hump on the side I was coming from, and a three-foot dip on the other side. Having vespertilian eyesight, this meant that I became aware of this feature only when I could see into the dip -- about 20 feet away. With response time, this meant that I hit the berm at about 65 mph with only an instant (if that) for braking. I was airborne with a peak height of about 7 feet with at least 40 feet of travel.
I landed it, stayed upright, braked to a stop, got of the bike, and sat down to get my bearings. And my cousin came back from the other saddle to skid to a stop next to me.
And said, "bitchin' jump, Cooth!!!"

The one thing to watch out for is, when installing an SSD of lower capacity than the original drive and if you're reproducing factory restore partitions, the automatic settings will often reduce them to the minimum needed to contain the data but this will make many OSes very unhappy and the user will get alerts about it. If you expect to change OS after the upgrade, say from Win7 to Win10 (which has far better SSD support), you can lose the restore partitions, since they'd be for the old OS anyway. Once the machine is established as a Win10 upgrade, you can do a clean install and it should activate automatically as well as producing its own updated restore partitions. If the original hard drive isn't needed for anything (especially likely in a laptop where there is no place for a secondary drive, the best thing to do is store it properly in an anti-static container and have it in case of failure of the SSD within the warranty period. It will let you quickly make the machine usable while waiting for the replacement.
In cases where it doesn't matter, laptop drives that unwanted after an SSD upgrade are handy for using in a PS3 or 4 as a capacity upgrade. Support for external drives makes changing the internal of less interest on Microsoft consoles. Nintendo supports externals for the few who care. Many are reluctant to buy much digital content from Nintendo due to their lousy account portability.

My grandfather, in between glaucoma, had a wandering axis of astigmatism. This is almost undocumented, but is quite simple to think of -- if the surrounding muscles change the shape of the eyeball, the axis of astigmatism in the lens can be chased around to just about anywhere.

80 Year-Old Granny Goes Badass On Home Intruder
...
"Then he stabbed my stepdad with a big knife, six inches long and two inches wide, 'cause he wanted the car keys," the woman's son told the Times. "My mom hears what's going on, comes out and sees the guy standing over my stepdad, and there's blood all over the floor and his guts are coming out."
The 80-year woman grabbed her gun and shot it four times at the intruder, who was struck by the gunfire and died. The 75-year-old man is currently in serious condition at the Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, WA.
"My mother doesn't feel bad, and neither do I," the woman's son said. "He almost killed my stepdad. He got what he had coming."...

ESPN Erases Curt Schilling From Baseball History
..."When a live event runs long," said the statement. "It's standard procedure to shorten a taped program that follows."
To judge that statement one should consider what ESPN edited out. For ESPN did not leave out just any game---it cut out the "Bloody Sock" game, one of the most heroic performances in recent baseball history, if not in the three-century history of the game...
...And ESPN left this game out of a documentary, "Four Days in October," which purports to chronicle that comeback?

For all intents and purposes, the word "Conservstive" has become a meaningless word and is mostly a pejorative now.
If you ask John Boehner, Paul Ryan, Bob Coker and Kelly Ayotte I'm sure they'll tell you they are Conservstive.
I've been referring to myself as a constituitonalist, classical liberal for a while now when people enquire.
The GOP needs to be destroyed and rebuilt along those lines.

The principles behind conservatism are timeless: smaller government, freer markets, robust defense, respect for traditional values. Whatever the GOP does, or does not, do, these principles remain.
The policies are what individuals propose in order to implement such principles. Such as welfare reform in the 90's as you point out.
The strategies and tactics are the political minutiae that politicians try to put in place in order to get said policies written into law.
I think it's important to clearly delineate between these three. When I call myself a conservative, it is because I find myself most in agreement with conservative *principles*, regardless of the specific policies or the particular tactics employed on any particular issue.
It seems as though most of your complaints are directed against the GOP's choices of policies and strategies. Fair enough, they have earned a great deal of criticism there. But it isn't really fair to say that because the GOP has failed on some strategic level, that *conservative principles* have failed.

And here's the thing, it's not my fault that the non-Trump fucktards let him get to their "right" and then wasted months attacking him for not being "Conservstive" all the while espousing views that were being rejected by a plurality of GOP voters. In effect telling the voters and me to go fuck ourselves.
I don't know about you but when someone tells me to go fuck myself I don't usually get the warm fuzzies for that person.

What you call consevatism isn't what everyone else calls conservatism. Ask anybody on the street, and you'll get a dozen different definitions, most of them bad, outright wrong, or just different than your own.
So why not call your version of it something else, and avoid all of the negative connotations associated with those other kinds? Any corporation with such a damaged brand would have trucked out a new name and logo a long time ago.
The principles aren't wrong. Those who have claimed to hold them, and didn't, and have given them a bad name are what's wrong. Let them hold the name and take your principles with you under a new one.

They rebranded themselves as "progressives"
