ONT 5/5/2016: Everybody knows, ONTin' ain't Easy edition. [krakatoa]
First off, I'd like wish Maetenloch Godspeed on his trip, and I hope he finds much joy and success in balancing work, family & fun while in Japan.
Caring for our parents as they age is the duty of all children, but it is also a privilege in many ways. I am in the planning stages to turn my own basement into an apartment dwelling for my mother, and while there will be hurdles, I am looking forward to her being able to spend some quality time with her granddaughter. While Maet is off attending to his life outside of the HQ, the graveyard shift is once more stuck with the usual young guns from the bullpen(1) who have so competently and admirably filled in for him in the past few years. You get me to kick it off though.For those of you who didn't have to stamina to read Ace's entire liveblog review of Star Wars, Episode VII, please allow me to condense it for you in 3 words: "Lena Dunham's snootch."
You may be our only hope to prevent the next epidemic that the ubiquitous use of antibiotics & the overuse of antibacterials is leading us towards ... ...or maybe it will just be good old scientific nano-tech. Which sounds promising but, being the paranoid tin-foil hat aficionado I am, I can't help but wonder what they are going to do about that last tenth of a percent.
Angel Falls from Indonesian Sky!
The government pretty much obeys one law at all times: That of unintended consequences. Here is why your gas cans, damn near literally, suck.
For any of the horde thinking there's a future in identifying as a quadriplegic streetfighter, just know you will have doubters and bullies at every turn. FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS. BE WHO YOU ARE. And most importantly, do not stop filming. Stay gold, centaurboy.
This ONT brought to you by the Common Clay of a New America.
** Especially that one!

I've been looking back through my notes - and I run upon a key piece of knowledge from Tom T Hall ...
... faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, and more money.
YMMV ... but if it does, your a dumb ass.

Works for me.
Just tried to buy one of the old metal kerosene cans because one of my halfway decent plastic gas cans split along the top seam, thank goodness it didn't fail on the bottom seam!
My trick is to drill a hole in the top handle and use a brass screw as the non-vent fix! At one time, you could buy oil drain pans with a vent that you could carefully pry off and re-use for other venting purposes.

Oh, the green slip ring one must twist to unlock them is a bit of bother, and the end caps aren't tethered and tend to get lost unless one ties a string to them.
Mine flow fine and stop when the tank is full, which is nice feature. I always thought the air vents on these things were inside the nozzle itself. This would explain why they stop pouring when one's topped off...

Well here in NoVA, I take the DC Metro into work or as I call it, Ole Smokey! I got stuck at Arlington Cem. Station because ANOTHER station had "smoke" problems (Eastern Market I think). In order to get into work, I walked from AC to near McPhereson Sq (about 3 miles). I figured I get there faster as I have been through Metro dysfunction before.

Possibly an option for small motors, since they do this in the filbert orchard during pruning season:
Buy a pressurized hand sprayer. Use it for your gas or your two-stroke mix.
Try to get the one with the buna rings for the more pervasive chemicals.
Even better than that is no-one will steal a half full sprayer. You have no idea what poison is in that.

Couple reasons.
1. They no longer have a super majority, a couple Reds having been popped for various felonies. (For example, Leland Yee, gun control advocate, for selling RPGs to Muslim terrorists.)
2. Prop. 13, although desperately hated by the Reds (including Jerry Brown, back in the day), is kind of a third rail politically. Think of it as a conservative version of Social Security. Repealing it - it's a constitutional amendment, IIRC - would bring down a firestorm on the Reds who voted for it.
So while they detest it ... they live with it. For now, at least.

That question has been the third rail in California politics.
The smart ones know that severly limited property taxes are the only thing keeping many businesses in state, and many people in their homes. Considering California has both very high sales taxes and very, very high income taxes, low property taxes are a must.

Hill Country Fare Chili. I prefer mine with the beans. Drop grated sharp cheddar on it, and use Nacho Cheese Doritos for the scoop.
Can feel heart cells dying with every bite, I telllya.
Kidding aside, AtC may just be right about that "outside is trying to killya" thing.
Got a spider bite on top of my right foot, I think it's trying to acid-etch a hole straight through the foot and onward down to China.
Hospital visit in the morning, methinks. Not that they can do much besides debride the necrotic flesh, but at least there'll be pain pills.
There'd damn well better be pain pills.
Last few months, I've been bent, folded, stapled and mutilated. I'm a living, walking, talking IBM warning label, or something of the sort.
Damn glad I'm not a horse. I'd be glue by now.

Now, a bonus question: why do the Reds want to jack up property taxes?
It's not just because it raises money for them to fund programs to help the gay polar bears stop smoking, although that's part of it.
It's because it selectively targets property owners, i.e., the bourgeoisie, whom the Reds hate, and provides the Reds with funds with which to buy votes from the underclass.

Aaargh! Toxic demon mercury!
Today I tore down the second engine from that pair of little Honda MX bikes I scored at the dump last week. Tming chain had jumped, and really messed up the cam sprocket, and filled the whole shebang with filings. Strangely enough, the crank sprocket seems almost untouched.
So I picked the right engine to work on the first go-round. This one is now all apart in a box, dripping with solvent. But clean. I may see if I can score some cheap parts on eBay. And, the exhaust valve got whacked. Piston, cylinder, and bottom end seem to be OK.

Liquid on Earth has this amazing property that when heat is applied in a judicious manner, it not only cooks the surrounding contents, it evaporates.
Amazingly enough if you apply enough heat you might be able to remove absolutely all liquid in a matter of minutes. Some might even moderate the amount of heat to the point of retaining a moderate amount of lubricity and avoid turning a delicious meal into a carbonized product.

You add the beer to help the falvors combine. Nothing more offputting than a chilie with big chunks of ingrediants. You add the refried beans and corn tortilla chips to thicken it up. Cooking over a long period of time will drive out the moisture and further thicken it up.

My late husband and my late fiance, both VN Vets, often said they would wait in line to pour their quart of urine on her grave. Sadly, she outlived them. If she dies before I do and her grave is not hidden as I expect it to be, I might take a quart and pour it in their name. If she is smart, she has a will stating that she is to be cremated and her ashes scattered because her grave will float.

So he will be like a lot of other heavily altered transvestites--prancing around in women's clothes, with breasts, a shaved adams apple, and a penis that can be tucked away. Without his Olympic background and the Kardashians, he is just another sad old mess in a dress.

called "Cinnabar Hills", with a golf-course and planned community. It is

LOL. Is it near "Silicone Valley?"
Posted by: Jay Guevara at May 05, 2016 11:49 PM (oKE6c)
It is pretty close to the southern end of Silicon Valley -- beyond is agricultural land and Gilroy, the garlic capital of the US.
But, seriously, the San Jose area's "natural environment" is almost as contaminated as its superfund sites. There's a hill in the middle of the city that is thoroughly contaminated with naturally-occurring asbestos, and the almaden quicksilver mines have rocks that leach mercury. People knew and understood this back in the day of the Spanish occupation, but put-up with it because of the resources and opportunities found here.....partially because of the geology.

Who are these "U.S. officials"?
>>Some of Hillary Clinton's closest aides, including her longtime adviser Huma Abedin, have provided interviews to federal investigators, as the FBI probe into the security of her private email server nears completion, U.S. officials briefed on the investigation tell CNN. The investigation is still ongoing, but so far investigators haven't found evidence to prove that Clinton willfully violated the law the U.S. officials say.
The story at CNN says the FBI and DOJ declined to comment.
So who are these "U.S. officials" who were briefed?

Which reminds me, I see that Obama is proposing that the limit on eagle kills by wind turbines is being raised to 4,200/year, four times the current limit:
---
"Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe said the proposal will "provide a path forward" for maintaining eagle populations while also spurring development of a pollution-free energy source that's intended to ease global warming, a cornerstone of President Barack Obama's energy plan.
Ashe said the 162-page proposal would protect eagles and at the same time "help the country reduce its reliance on fossil fuels" such as coal and oil that contribute to global warming. "

Yeah, if you didn't use the proper safety gear for that environment.

Saving the eagles by allowing four times as many to be killed. Sounds like a plan.
They should put giant Trigglypuff statues on all wind turbines. Sort of like they use plastic owls to scare away crows. Ought to keep the eagles away.
And wind turbines also kill bats, which are more important to our well-being by reason of their eating insects which carry diseases.

CC Revisited is doing a show in a nearby town, and their publicist arranged the interview. We talked about how the new band got their start, what he does on his downtime, etc. I threw a couple of goofy questions at him like "What do you like on your hot dog?" (Always mustard, never ketchup) and "What cartoon character are you most like?" (Bart Simpson).
I purposely stayed away from anything that would mention John Fogerty. Still bad blood between him and the rest of the band.

That is all sorts of cool. I well understand the Fogerty thing -- I'd probably have focused on the zeitgeist of the audiences in CCR's prime years. Congrats on the great score!!!

IIRC, there are some microscopic critters that do propellers -- but the metabolic efforts creating the support structures are not terribly more efficient than just using the metabolism to wiggle-waggle.

393 There are some pretty sound physical reasons for why mechanized means of
propulsion usually involve things what go round and round, as opposed
to things that flap or waggle or step.
True.
One wonders why Darwin's victors never selected the propeller.
Posted by: you dumb motherfuckers had 500 million years ... at May 06, 2016 12:32 AM (6bOpb)
Bacteria kinda did.
Living things build off of what is already there. Flapping a wing is pretty much just specialized arm motion. Muscle action was very old reliable tech for living things.

Still, I would have PAID to be on the jury for the Zantz suit, where Saul Zantz was suing Fogerty for sounding like CCR. From what I understand, he did a Masters' class on creating a rock tune that -- followed per instructions -- would create an infinity of CCR classics.

Way back when, I had heard that you could tell the guys who played with fluorine by the missing parts of their digits....but, then, you hear about what happens when you just get a little in the blood -- it opportunistically attacks the bones.
You expose a finger to a fluorine gas leak, you have a divot in that finger or are missing the end; you have a drop of weak hydrofluoric acid on your skin....and your bones are on fire as soon as the lightest and seventh lightest atoms can slip through your flesh.

For my next number, in honor of an obscure Mexicanish holiday, here's a sad little risqué romantic ballad, with an island-Samba beat, which I wrote 'way back in the late 1970s. Being as the band is too drunk to play, I'll speak it a capella, and you can imagine the tune.

Two margaritas and a piña colada,
Sounds like the beginning of a song!

Maet good wishes for your trip if you ever check in and see this, which I hope you won't as you will have too much to do in Japan.
We took care of the wife's folks tonight. Took them out for her Dad's 85th and Mother's Day to a steakhouse of their choice. Yikes, for special occasions they do like expensive places, biggest dinner bill I've paid in my life.
Starts out w/ we pick them up at the asst living place, I'm driving. As we approach a speed bump to get out of the place they both start shouting SLOW DOWN THERE'S A SPEED BUMP!
Now we've been riding w/ her driving in their van for 4 days over the same speed bump, they know we've left every day over the same speed bumps, but because she wasn't in control they had to go nuts!
I slow down as I planned and pass over just fine, but really, is this normal? Well they told friends about it and the woman driving went over it at full parking lot speed and injured her husband who was in a cast or something. Whatever, this is BS.
GRRR, great start to the big meal. Get there and drop them off at the front door. Arrowhead Grill, great food if you are in the Peoria/Glendale AZ area, but very expensive.
We had a great meal, good time. They know how to do things right, but you better know how to order. Side of Yukon Gold potatoes, 12.99, I'll pass.
The steaks were some of the best I've ever had. And we had plenty of leftovers for another meal. As we should after I paid the bill which was $325 w/ tip. Special occasion I guess.
So J was going to drive home, as I'd would have a few drinks and she doesn't drink lately. Actually I'd only had 3 beers, but I knew I didn't want to listen to the grief I'd got driving there.
She drove, got all kinds of hell for not turning at the right place. We got there just fine w/ little detours.
They have to be in by 8 to get in the front door, keep in mind her Dad is blind and her Mom has this walker that needs to be drug in and out of the truck. There timely, they are actually a bit pleasantly buzzed...locked out of the front door at 5 to 8.
I'm thinking F... this place they are paying big money to live in. We would have to load them back in, and then walked and go to a back entrance where they have a key.
FIL, blind as he is, said there's a key entrance nearby, I ran and found it. I let them in and we had a happy ending!
All in all a good time. Can't wait for tomorrow w/ them. If we lived in the same town I think I'd die an early death, LOL.

She described herself as a voter as a "provisional Trump" and a "never Hillary," referring to the leading Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton.
Pressed on Thursday about why she switched political parties, Ms. Matalin told Bloomberg Politics that she was a Republican in the "Jeffersonian, Madisonian sense."
"I'm not a Republican for a party or a person," she continued. "The Libertarian Party represents those constitutional principles that I agree with."

No, Elon. The correct thing to do is end the subsidies. For everything.
Gas, solar, the whole lot. Let the market and genuine worthiness decide.
That means YOUR subsidies end too, Elon.
Posted by: Epobirs at May 06, 2016 05:17 AM (IdCqF)
I did a study on the so-called subsidies that the oil companies get. There are none. The thing the liberals call a "subsidy" is the so-called "oil depletion allowance". This is a tax deduction against the cost of oil exploration and the depreciation of the worth of a capitol asset. It is a tax deduction much like tax deductions for all other cost of doing buisness and long term asset depreciation, therefore it is most definitely not a subsidy.
However those green crap energy companies do in fact not only get huge tax deductions, but actual cash payments as well. I linked to a story about another well known solar rip-off company that went tits up after the cash payouts ended. They had managed to milk the tax payers out of $2.5M cash payouts through Obama crony corruption.
Why is it that the MFM never exclaims about the fraud and abuse going on there?

More than 80,000 people have emptied Fort McMurray in the heart of Canada's oil sands, authorities said.

There is one clear behavioral indicator whose existence we might be able to exploit, as we fight this continuing score of violent people using inanimate objects to commit violence.
Mandatory NRA membership.....
The number of NRA members who commit violent crimes using firearms is exceedingly low.
So just like the theory of giving poor people homes for free, or below market will cause them to become upright and solid homeowners...
If we make everyone an NRA member, the violence will decrease,
Right?

I implore everybody to support his challenger, Paul Nehlan.

I'm sure it was a surprise. After all the Pentagon has more important things to do like PC-ing up the military to really pay attention to what's going on in combat zones.

Paul Ryan is saying DT has to play ball with them. Nothing more.
He thinks you're dumb enough to fall for the "conservative" thing, because hey, it's worked for much of his career up to this point.

We've heard politicians repeat 'conservative' like a mantra, then do anything but.
That deception has become clear, and it's one reason this election season hasn't gone the way they'd expected.

I posted that story over a week ago. You should have seen that then. But if you haven't bought any loose unpackaged fruits or vegetables you should be OK.
Also more evidence that all stuff like this purchased from a grocery store should be washed before use.

Nah, not that funny. It's like the used car guy calling his lot Honest John's Reliable Bargains.
Then puts balloons around the place. And smiles when you walk in.
It's all fake, meant to get your business, as he's trying to screw you over.

Ryan says DT has to show he is conservative enough. Glad Paul is finally coming around.
Dear Paul Ryan:
You first.
Posted by: rickb223
Ryan is a RINO that has given Obama and the Democrats everything they wanted in the budget agreements and more. I hope he gets primaried out by the businessman running against him.

Love the constitution?
At constitution dot org you can put "the laws of nations" in the search box and scroll down to section 212 for a definition.
Then you can go to wiki (which I'm pretty sure you can confirm else where if you must) and read about Ben Franklin's receipt of three copies of that same book and his thank you reply.
That's in case you want to try to use a certain cob's weak argument from some time back.
And if you want to say "But judges have decided..."
I give you-
Marbury vs Madison
Dred Scott
Wickard vs Filburn
Roe vs Wade
The Affordable freaking Care Act
Chances this gets willowed?
Extremely high
Chances it gets looked at?

You would think these guys are desperate to have Trump there, so they don't have to look like such worthless douches.
Because honestly, does anyone think they would roll over for Trump the way they do Obama?
So... if they are actively working AGAINST Trump, what are we to think? They WANT Hillory. A President they can work with.

I must have missed it at the time.
We normally don't buy produce there, because for the most part it's all organic - which translates to scrawny.
We do buy the olives out of the olive bar, which is open. From the closed cases we get the spanakopita and zucchini fritters.
I'll be back there on Saturday. It will be interesting to see how this has affected sales and traffic.

Went to see the granddaughter in "The Little Mermaid, Jr." last night. It was really, really good, not your usual middle school musical beating. (although "Willy Wonka, Jr." suffers from the unsingable Anthony Newley songs, so not its fault...)
G-daughter was a mer-princess and the best one, of course. Her dancing reminded me so much of her mother, back in drill team, that it got a little misty.
Have a good day, everyone.

=============================================
I don't believe he will. They guy seems to be not quite who he claims. He's only voted in 3 of the last 20 elections here in Wisconsin. (We've had a lot of important ones in the last few years.) The Tea Party here in SE Wisconsin says he didn't even bother to vote in Walker's recall election. I mean, everybody voted in that election. Seriously. The Tea Party says he's a fraud. I haven't seen much in the way of political advertising for him. Take it for what it's worth.

Privilege?
No. It's a burden you get stuck with because your parents meased up their lives, and you're clearly delusional.
Stop smoking crack before you make more stupid claims.
