Overnight Open Thread-The Friday Edition [Mis. Hum.]
You wanted CDR-M, after last night's Yokopalooza you might take Maetenloch, however tonight you will have to settle for me.
Run, run like the wind for moar content..........................................
We can't have a Friday night pass by without a doggeh picture. Amirite?
End Of An Era
Funai, the last remaining manufacturer of the VCR, will cease production of the players by the end of the month, according to Japanese newspaper The Nikkei (via Anime News Network). The company is citing a declining market and increasing difficulty in sourcing parts as the reasons behind the decision.The videocassette recorder (VCR) first came to prominence in the 1970s when pricing was lowered. Average consumers could purchase or rent the machines to watch the video home system (VHS) tapes developed by JVC. We won't even get into the Sony Beta product. Damn, and here I just figured out how to stop that clock from blinking 12:00. Women subject their men to torture. Here's a hint 'Ettes: Leave them home when you go shopping.
Self-Help Section Want to be more productive? Do you need a moral compass? Are you lacking creativity? Coffee could be the answer. Or is it love?
Do you lack motivation? Maybe the U.S. Marines can help you with that? I'm not sure if the perfect crime qualifies for self-help. Another City Off My Relocation List "Nobody gonna take my car, I'm gonna race it to the ground. Nobody gonna beat my car. it's gonna break the speed of sound." It looks like Deep Purple will not be moving to Helsinki, Finland. How Was Work Today? Hope he practices medicine as well as the pilot flies. They made millions but still have a bug up their ass.
Their day? They made a large audience happy. And finally, YOU DID WHAT? Does This Sound Like B.S. To You? The journal Addiction has a study which links alcohol to 7 forms of cancer. Stock prices in Valu-Rite hardest hit. Tonight's ONT brought to you by a misanthrope

Assuming you're not referring to lingerie, no frikkin' way.
I want a dress shirt, I go to where the dress shirts are, look for a mfg. I like, find size, pick.
I want a blouse for my wife, it's torture. They are all over the store. Literally. It a treasure hunt.
Pro tip: If there's 'woman' in the section title, it's where the plus sizes live. Do not suggest that perhaps your woman might find something over there.

I wish I knew. I'm an Alpha guy. I walk in, buy what I need, and leave. It always seemed like a big deal to her that I would not go shopping. I told her if she went buying like I did, I would be there. She just wanted to shop more. She lost, in several ways.

They don't ever have to go to the baseball game with me. If they don't like the first occasion, they never have to go again.
It becomes a "boys night out" -thing.
If they say that they don't like baseball, it isn't a "deal-breaker", but I won't drag them to a game.
I don't "shop". I get what I need when I go somewhere. Meandering and milling about amongst the masses is wholly meaningless to me.

It's easier.
The same thing explains why I drink beer when I prefer a mixed drink. I mean, I get home, go into the kitchen, get out a glass, open the freezer, grab the ice cube tray, shake it so an ice cube pops up, grab it, toss it into the glass, put the tray back in the freezer, get my bottle, pour some booze into the glass, get some juice or something to mix it with, pour it in, put it back in the fridge, get a spoon (but that attracts the cats who now want to be fed) ...
I could be on my second beer by then.

I was on another site where there was a loony leftist named Greg. Just because he was "a nice guy" people stupidly engaged him.
He never changed his mind on anything. He would argue the same thing over and over no matter how many times it was debunked. He always took the far left viewpoint. No moderation ever. "but he was polite". So what? A polite loon is still a loon.

My husband would prefer not to be there when I buy that because I have to go try it on and that takes time. The shopping he will tolerate is buying me the fancy purses. Or a belt or wallet. It's fast.
The sales tax in Hawaii is less than here so I like to buy purses there.

Sure. I love going to a grocery store because, almost every time, I am like the proverbial Soviet Man, released from his prison and presented with what's in a Safeway. I can't believe how much stuff is in there, and how much trouble everyone went to, to make it available to me. To run a cart down those aisles, and pick whatever I want, and I can actually afford it, I kind of can't believe it.
I guess they call that "child mind," but it works for me.

Okay, I just looked it up and it's close to what I actually thought but didn't say: YOU place them. That's right, there's another years-old game called Ingress in which everyone is on either a red or a blue team and if your enemies or allies are in the area you can virtually do battle and such. Ingress busily logged all these locations for years and now they are Pokemon sites.

"The pretty girl. You were looking."
"No I wasn't."
"Yes you were."
"No I wasn't."
(20 or so iterations later)
"Okay, if it'll make you happy, yes, I was looking. But just a glance."
"YOU'RE WITH ME! HOW COULD YOU LOOK!"

They are so provincial and so focused on how important VA is supposed to be that they don't even realize Trump doesn't need VA if he wins PA, FL and OH. The demographics of PA are very different than VA which is why Trump is making the play. When I heard his speech last night I knew he was targeting PA over VA.

Study 'proves alcohol causes cancer.' The problem? There wasn't a study
It's a comment piece. It doesn't contain any new research, nor does it contain statistical analysis of previous research. It's not a meta-analysis or a systematic review. It is a short essay in the 'For Debate' section of the journal in which one woman gives her opinion about whether correlation equals causation when it comes to the epidemiological evidence on alcohol and cancer.

In a similar vein, I had a subordinate who came from the USSR. I'd lived in Europe for many years, and when I finally returned was blown away by the choice in an American supermarket (72 - I counted 'em - 72 types of spaghetti sauce!).
I asked him for his reaction. He said the first time he and his wife entered an American supermarket they left again - overwhelmed by the choices available.
I understood. I'd felt that way too, to a lesser extent.

otho, yup. Supertramp was also notorious for having *no bass whatsoever* in their 1980s music.
Posted by: qdpsteve at July 23, 2016 12:30 AM
That trend, in my hazy recollection, was due to the influence of new romance/synth of the time and was somewhat a deliberate thing, rather than just "oh, that sounds nice and modern". It was post 70's and post punk. I remember a definite pervasive attitude that solid drum/bass presence (and even exciting sounding guitar) reeked of "cock rock" or "pub rock" and was tres gauche. Some established bands aped this so as to sound more "with it".

I've got a Dell T5500 -- 2 4-core Xeon processors, 12G RAM. I figured I'd trick it out into a Xen machine, using CentOS as Dom0....'cause, bein' all security-minded and all, having security policies built-in to the distro sounded kewl. Besides, CentOS' install actually has an option for "Virtual Host" where they leave out the fancy GUI, Office, and other overhead stuff. Since I have stacks of 2T drives, I thought I'd boot and run off a Solid State Disk (SSD) and use 4 2T drives to set up a RAID 5 array, since this has been built into Linux kernels since forever -- and this box actually has places to put all the drives.
It seemed an opportune time to do this, since the cover story for the June 2016 Linux Magazine was "Tuning SSDs", and the fiancee was going to be away all day.
I figured that I'd do a "dry-run" on a regular disk to see how much room I really needed for Dom0, since Xen wants separate partitions for /boot, /, swap, and LVM for virtual clients.....and I wanted to have /boot, /, swap, and cache for the RAID array on my SSD, with the LVM stuff stuck out on disks.
So, I connect up a random 2T drive as my experimental
I also read the SSD tuning article in more detail, and it says that the first thing you should do is bring the firmware current.....which, for my SSD, is a lovely little Windows utility. So I check the Windows box I used to do this years' taxes.....and it doesn't have a spare SATA line to connect the SSD to. So I look for the Win7 computer that was sitting at the end of the couch waiting for me to find a video adapter from DVI to VGA.....but I can't find where I moved it to when the cleaners came through on Monday.
I decide that my best selection of hardware drivers is likely to be Debian, so download a web-install ISO onto this system right here, but when I went to burn it to a DVD, it couldn't find any writable devices.
Then I hard-switched the T5500 off, changed disks, stuck an old Debian disk I had around into the DVD, booted.....and the monitor says, "no signal".
To sum up, I started the day with a plan that seemed eminently feasible and a bunch of things that seemed to be working in my favor.....and ended-up with a collection of dumpster fires where even unrelated crap (missing Win7 computer, nonworking DVD burner on this computer) joined the Clusterfark Collective.

Yeah, sorry. I guess I was lucky my whole life and never had to worry about any health issues. Now it seems to be coming at me from all sides. Two weeks ago I thought bourbon and the ONT would fix things.
Fortunately - I think - this chiropractor who sent me for the x-rays runs a sports medicine practice. I get the impression he's - ??? - more than just an old-fashioned chiropractor. He's certainly been diligent so far. He's got me scheduled for an MRI next week. So - I appreciate the feedback, and he'd be my source for an orthopedist/neurosurgeon referral, at least at this point.

of Ubuntu, I got up early (because I had been drinking the night before,
so rather grumpily), and I went to burn the newest ISO onto CD, but the
CD drive was busted and wouldn't open or close reliably, I had to use
the "paperclip method" which was unsatisfactory.. so I went to Walmart
early in the morning to get a new CD drive, installed it, only to
realize that the ISO was too big to burn onto the CDs that I had.....
Posted by: chemjeff at July 23, 2016 01:11 AM (uAvJJ)
Yup. Just gotta outlast the setbacks....I had to do the paperclip method myself a couple of times today, and -- of course -- my paperclip tool wasn't where it normally lives (in a certain mug on a "mug tree" adjacent to the kitchen [I used to have to use it regularly to clear obstructions in the drip caffeinator]....it had snuck into an adjacent mug [or the tree had been rotated]).

Don't know about anybody else, but I just can't listen to that record. Ever again. I was share housing with an individual who owned just one LP... Breakfast In America... and said individual played it all day... every day. It's not a bad LP... but, I got a lifetimes dose of it.

"Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said "Far out, - What a day, a year, a laugh it is!"
You know, - Well you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do
Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer;
So now you put your head in your hands, oh no!

Everything else: meh
But Breakfast in America does have outstanding cover art. It's among the framed album covers I use for wall art in the man cave. Everyone thinks I must love the album since I have the cover on the wall. I hate the album. Love the cover.

Well, the Linux Mint install on the desktop at my place in Arizona has been rock solid whenever I have used it. I have not had to fuss with it. My only issue was trying to install a printer driver I didn't need, because the printer driver I needed was native to the build.
I turn it on, it boots and it works. I have Pale Moon loaded, and I copied the bookmarks that I use here from my profile on this machine. So here I run Pale Moon on Win 7, and it looks like it looks. Go to AZ, fire up the Linux box, and it runs Pale Moon, and it looks the same. At my level of usership, Linux = Windows, as far as allowing me to use the box for my own purposes. It was not any kind of struggle, and I am not a Linux nerd by any stretch of the imagination.

That's why it's so jarring for me to see:
"But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Clinical, intellectual, cynical."
and
"Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
Acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!"
Excuse me, but isn't it a good thing to be sensible, logical, responsible, respectable, and practical? Isn't it profoundly silly to be "a stupid little dreamer"?

Windows/Apple is like having a workshop for doing auto repair. It's compact, you understand that things are going to be coming in with four wheels and gasoline engines. You can fiddle, but not much. And if someone shows up with an RX-7, you might have trouble dealing with its Wankel rotary engine.
Linux is like having a workshop that can fabricate anything from a cyclotron to a nuclear submarine. You can use it for auto repair....but all the ATMs you use -- Linux; your home router -- embedded Linux; the internet backbone -- Unix (might by Linux now); the banking system -- Linux; the self-checkout kiosks at your local grocery -- Windows....which is why they're always rebooting them.
Its capabilities draw people in to fussing with it. You can do so much more. But you don't have to.
I'm spending a lot of time fussing with it because I didn't understand how much internet security resembled wet tissue paper. When Ira tagged me, I said that I'd rebuild secure and it would take me at least a year. It's taken me a bit over a year so far and I've got a decent understanding of how bad things are.....and roadmaps forward. Once I've build my citadel, I don't intend to fiddle with it nearly as much

If you want to study the arrangements for Oingo Boingo so that you could learn to be as good.....there aren't any. They didn't publish sheet music. When he started doing soundtracks, Elfman said that he'd regretted everything he'd ever done and wouldn't participate in reunions. He walked away and burned it down behind him.
Didn't know that.... shame

Iranian guy shouts "Allah Ackbar" and shoots 10 people to death in a major European city -- and yet the media somehow manages to act like it didn't happen!
My internet connection is a bit wonky so for the first time in months I turned on the TV to see the 10 O'Clock News to see what had happened in Munich.
Instead, the first news story, for 8 solid minutes, is about Hillary's VP pick.
Then a two-minute story about the Trump-Cruz feud.
Ad break.
Then a 6-minute story about a grass fire in Vacaville.
Then the weather report.
The a story about Drayvon Green (basketball player?).
Ad break.
FINALLY, a story about what happened in Munich.
Except...
Except...
...except the story was a rebroadcast of some international network story (reporter had British accent) that said, in essence:
-- Shooting happened in Munich, 10 dead;
-- Motive unknown.
-- Someone heard the shooter say anti-immigrant sentiments.
-- This is the five-year anniversary of the Anders Breveik shooting in Norway, so now let's segue in a 3-minute description of THAT shooting five years ago.
-- Wrap-up, concluding with something about "racist violence" being "on the rise."
And that was it.
No mention of him being Iranian.
No mention that he said "Allah Ackbar!".
So that if you had gotten your news solely from this broadcast, you would have come away 100% convinced that it was a White Supremacist shooting.
So this inspired me to look into this claim about the shooter saying something anti-immigrant.
Luckily, my internet connection had started working a little better.
And lo and behold, I found the source of the claim -- this video posted to Twitter:
https://twitter.com/OnlineMagazin/status/756539012551176194/video/1
it purports to show a bystander on a balcony arguing with the shooter.
But it's in German, and hard to understand even if you know German, so someone (don't know who) posted this English-language purported translation to Pastebin:
http://pastebin.com/QE9RviaS
Here's the crucial section:'
"Balcony Man: "You fucking Asshole you..."
Shooter: "Because of you I [unintelligible]..."
Balcony Man: "You cunt you. you're a cunt"
Shooter: "...and now I have to buy a gun to shoot you"
Balcony Man: "a gun fuck off your head isn't on right"
Shooter and Balcony man shouting at each other
Balcony Man apparently to people filming: "He's got a gun here the guy has one"
Shooter: "Shit/Fucking Turks!"
Balcony Man: "Shit/Fucking Kanacken" (foreigners basically)"
HOWEVER-- and this is the whole point of my comment -- although I don't really know German, I can sort of follow along the video with the transcription, and the part that supposedly goes "Shooter: "Shit/Fucking Turks!" " is just about inaudible, and it's not clear at all what the guy is saying, or even if it's him speaking.
So I believe the person who provided the translation just INSERTED what he WANTED the shooter to say, for political reasons.
And yet based on this one extremely dubious source, the entire MSM has spun this incident as NOT being Islamic terror, but right-wing hate violence.
And furthermore, since the gunman is Iranian, it's not actually surprising that he WOULD say (if in fact he did say) "Fucking Turks!", because Iranians do actually hate Turks, and vice-versa. Nothing to do with religion -- just an ancestral regional rivalry hatred dating back centuries, a rivalry they bring with them wherever they go.
If anything, it is the guy on the balcony who says "Fucking foreigners!" who is expressing the anti-immigrant sentiment. If the shooter was also anti-immigrant, then what are they arguing about? Makes no sense.
Anyway then I move to the next level of thinking -- about how to break the left's control of the media narrative. Because that's the real problem here, even more than Muslim terrorists: traitors and quislings have seized control of the national megaphone, and control the narrative 24 hours a day, and inevitably twist it to their advantage.
I have no easy answers. But shit like this makes me so angry that I quadruple my motivation and efforts to break the leftist/traitor stranglehold on the media.

There was one interview in particular -- it's on YouTube. Leading into it was (a) he found that he had suffered some permanent hearing damage, and (b) IIRC, he got a gf that looked at his prior career as "slumming it". So after Halloween 1995, he totally hung it up. Finito.

(I got into Justified and Deadwood from the comments section here!)
I'm "lucky", my metabolism has kept me pretty much at the "elfin" (short- thin) status I "achieved" at 18!
I yam what I yam.
If I need to put on muscle to hump S.C.U.B.A tanks my body just DOES it.
(Only If I MAKE it, do so.)
If I etoilate, spending 18 hours per day doing customer service on the phone, that's OK too.
Apparently, I can work through the unaccustomed pain of flogging slack unused muscles for a paycheck or two.
I guess, I just, fundamentally, DO NOT UNDERSTAND wanting to "lose" weight.
If my muscles are going to ache, I want to know that it's for a project!
Just CANNOT exercise for the sake of it.

As an example of the sort of thing you can do with Linux but not with Windows.....y'know how you can go to Starbucks and see available Wi-fi networks to log into? And maybe join the one for the pizza place next door if it's got more bars?
Well, remember that both the Starbucks and the pizza place's wi-fi routers are running Linux. With a Linux PC, you can do the same thing in reverse.....and get a listing of all the users logged into the routers....and all the wannabe users not logged in yet. Wouldn't it be handy to know if there were 3 people logged into the pizza place and 20 logged into the Starbucks? Or, if you were sitting in the pizza place, you might be able to figure out which 3 people were online. You could do the exact same trick on two different antennas -- a directional and a directionless -- and get a bearing on everyone logged into a wi-fi router....and if that bearing pointed to your neighbor across the street, you'd know why your data limits were always maxxed out.
None of that is easy under Windows, but it's straightforward under Linux -- which is why people fiddle with Linux more.

Germanium transistors were amazingly sensitive, and could run at very low voltages. But they cannot handle too much heat. Germanium power transistors in early hybrid and solid-state car radios were notorious for frying. Silicon is much more thermally stable.

Germanium transistors were amazingly sensitive, and could run at
very low voltages. But they cannot handle too much heat. Germanium power
transistors in early hybrid and solid-state car radios were notorious
for frying. Silicon is much more thermally stable.

I was in this band at the time and we found ourselves at the same bar as The Donnas after we had both played gigs in different venues that night. The Donnas had just been on SNL and were at the height of their fame, such as it was.
They were really fantastic young ladies. Three of them anyways, the bass player was sick and left early. But the rest of them partied with us all night. We exchanged merch (I bet they tossed our CD without listening to it!) and they treated us to trays of Goldschlager shots.
They kept getting asked to take pics and sign autographs. It was a fun night.

Germanium is currently priced at 1800 dollars per kilogram. When you consider that you could probably make at least 100 transistors from a gram of the stuff, that's only a few pennies per.
When it comes to semiconductors, it's not so much the scarcity of the raw materials, but the degree of purification, and subsequent doping that makes the wafers costly. Germanium was/is obtained from the flue gases of lead and zinc smelters.

Based on that chart, the crustal abundance of germanium is similar to that of tungsten and molybdenum, both of which are mined and produced in large quantities. But germanium-bearing minerals, which do exist, are scarce, so obtaining it as a byproduct of zinc smelting is the only source.

was released first and was technically superior to VHS. But Sony's
decision to not go into movies killed it.

They have joined by RCA video disk player and movies which is on the top shelf of my upstairs office closet.

This is why the abundance of what is known as an "anacritical" or "anti-critical" element. In contrast to critical elements, which are those in current high demand and/or low availability, "anti-critical" elements are those often obtained as co-products from mining and other processes that are underutilized, resulting in an oversupply of these elements. This oversupply and the cost to process and store these "anti-critical" elements impacts the supply and cost of the critical co-product, and makes much of the mining inefficient and wasteful from a utilitarian point of view.

I knew of her but the only song I really knew was 'Call Me Names' live from the Secret Policeman's Third Ball CD I'd bought. I recall a video of another song 'Drop the Pilot' was getting play for a while in the days when I still occasionally looked for stuff on MTV. My guess is her success was mainly in the UK and didn't ever blossom in the US as she didn't fit into any slot the machine was prepared to fit her into.
This version, more like the studio track AFAIK, is very different from the version on the CD I mentioned:

As I recall, this was in the Bullocks department store in what was then called Fashion Square, at the south end of Sherman Oaks. People who've gone by on the freeway are more likely to remember the odd looking Sunkist building nearby. (It's been in a lot of TV and film, the last time I spotted it was in an episode of 'House.') Bullocks then was very upscale with some very elaborate interiors, like the escalator that passed you through a mirrored tube as if you might be going on a far greater journey than just up or down a floor. Although by the time I was old enough to be driving myself around I tended to ignore Fashion Square for its severe lack of tech stores to check for good markdowns.

Hi, Deety. Nothing good I'm afraid. All too often these days, if I don't have something I'm obligated to do in the morning, not just something I SHOULD do, I feel everything is utterly hopeless. Or even if the world is generally alright, I'm a failed bit of it that will soon be swept aside.
Employment prospects for anything I've ever studied or trained for is severely lacking. I'm either way short of the level of know-how needed or there just isn't much happening in the area. The people I've worked for on and off for many years are probably never going to get their shit together. This includes one of my closest friends, which makes it very hard to say I cannot be part of this anymore, especially when there isn't any place else to go. But this sort-of job has, I suspect, made it easier for me to avoid reality and taking whatever reliable work I could get in hopes of at least not being a dependent until I'm too old to do anything of value to anyone. I'm expecting a lot of people in my generation, especially those who are childless, are going to be declared excess to needs by a world where entire classes of employment are eliminated by automation.
I just cannot see how the next few decades play out without something globally disastrous, leaving the body count of WWII far behind, coming about.
But that's just me.

The lot this K-mart was on was awful. The store was essentially on top of a small hill, which meant the driveways were very steep and nearly the whole parking lot was at a very noticeable slope. That store was among the first to be closed many years ago, possibly when I still lived in Thousand Oaks (I moved away in 1996) and nothing has ever been done with the site since. The parking lot is in ruin and I wouldn't be surprised to hear the building was too far gone to ever put back in use. They'd have to demolish it and cart off the material just to start from scratch. So anything that might be done is starting with a severe cost handicap.

it was "chinatown, my chinatown", a neat tin pan alley ditty from 1906 done by just about everyone.
