Wednesday Will Make The ONT Great Again! [Weirddave]
Actually, probably not. The Maetenloch era was to ONTs as 19th century America was to liberty, and that level of freedom and growth ain't coming back. But this will be a great ONT!
Great Moment in History 202 years ago today, Frances Scott Key peered anxiously into the pre-dawn mist from the deck of HMS Tonnant. He had spent the previous night helplessly watching a furious British attack on Fort McHenry. As dawn broke, he strained his eyes to see the result. The fate of the battle, the war, and his young nation hung in the balance. As the sun crested the horizon, it illuminated the battered standard of the United States, still flying defiantly over the fort. A cheer burst from his lips, and, inspired, he turned and wrote a poem he called "The Defence of Fort M'Henry." Set to the tune of a popular drinking song, that poem would go on to become the National Anthem of the United States of America in 1931. If you ever get the chance to come to Baltimore and go to Ft. McHenry, jump at it. There is a short video presentation about the battle in a darkened room, and as it ends the notes of the anthem issue forth and the curtains covering the glass wall of the room retract, and there it is. Our flag. Still flying over the fort. Brings tears to my eyes. Every. Single. Time.
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Great Moment, Period

I'll say it again, we live in an age of miracles. Walking again is a Big Deal. That was one of the miracles that the Pharisees used against Jesus when they strove to get rid of him (See John 5). That seems to be a nice segue into..
Great Faith The brutal, powerful 9/11 stories of Catholic priests Fr. Mychal Judge was the Catholic priest assigned to minister to the FDNY. On 9/11 he was downtown when the planes hit, and he immediately rushed into the North Tower to render what aid he could. When the South Tower collapsed, it sprayed a lethal wave of debris into the mezzanine of the North Tower, sending Fr. Mychal home to God. Fr. Mychal Judge was later listed as Victim 0001 – the first death certificate processed on 9/11.
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. -John 15:13

If You're Still Wiping Your 12-Year-Old's Butt I'm Blaming You for the End of Western Civilization The story links another story cooing about how it's just fine for a parent to still be wiping their pre-teen's ass for them. No. No it is not. We could solve more than half the problems in this country if we'd just stop fetishizing the insane and condemning the normal. IMO Evan Sayet has the most cogent theory:
The bottom line is that the Modern Liberal is convinced that it is beliefs – not what those beliefs are but any belief at all – that are not only evil, but the font of all war, poverty, crime and injustice. They’re convinced that thinking is a hate crime – an act so heinous as to render one evil for simply engaging in it and an act that requires one to revile anyone who engages in it. The notion behind this hatred for thinking is that anything a person believes is going to have been so tainted by his personal bigotries – bigotries we all possess as simply part of the human experience, bigotries based on such things as the color of our skin, the nation of our ancestry, our height, weight, sex and so on – that the only way not to be an evil bigot is to never think at all.That's a long pull piece, but there's more, lots more, you should read it all, and follow the links to his speeches at Heritage. The part about being purposefully indiscriminate applies here too. Really, go read it. That plus r/K theory pretty much ties up the modern left in a nice, tight, logical, consistent package. Sayet quote comes from an interview here: KinderGarden Of Eden: How the Modern Liberal Thinks Great Weed, Dude
Not only does the Modern Liberal see faith and reason as hate crimes, but their product is and can only be, war, poverty, crime and injustice. The notion here is that, if nobody believed in anything then there’d be nothing for people to disagree about. If people didn’t disagree then surely they wouldn’t fight and, if they didn’t fight, then of course they’d never go to war. It only follows (at least as far as the Modern Liberal is concerned) that, without war there’d be no poverty, without poverty there’d be no crime and without crime there’d be no injustice. Mankind would return to Eden (or its secular version, the wonderful world of the kindergarten playground) if only all efforts to use one’s intellect ended, every “child” was declared “special” (but none more special than any other) and all people equally rewarded with each “child” getting a cookie but no child getting two.
The problem with this, however, is that, since in the real world, the better does exist, the Modern Liberal needs to “prove” that its existence is unjust. Otherwise the whole utopian scheme goes up in flames. Thus, he must argue that anything and everything society recognizes as the good and right – and all of the things that prove themselves to be the better by succeeding – are really the products of injustice. In other words, not only is the Modern Liberal bigoted, but his mindless prejudices are invariably against all that is good, right and successful.

Great Points By David Brooks of all people. Blind pigs and acorns. Making Modern Toughness. Also, How Learning To Give People A Break Changed My Life Forever. There's a flip side to this coin. Simple courtesy makes everybody's life more pleasant, even your own. I call people “Sir” and “Ma'am”. I hold doors for people. I gesture “you first” to strangers. Of course this doesn't mean I allow myself to be abused-once I walked into a building with an inward opening heavy glass door. I paused to hold it for the woman coming in behind me and she started to lecture me about the patriarchy in her best SJW tone of voice. I let the door go and went about my business. Hey, she called the tune- but approaching the world on a friendly basis makes life much pleasanter than the opposite.

That's great guys, you're Sears now. Cutting-edge business model there. Other banners coming soon to your friendly local JCP store:
"We now sell marijuana!"
"We now sell sex toys and pron!!"
"We now sell EVERYTHING IN THE STORE 'cuz we're going outta business in a week!!!!!!!"

I looked in the rearview mirror, and there was the rather attractive older woman (50- 55 or so, maybe older) who had a sucker in her mouth, and was really working it.
She had pinched cheeks and high cheekbones, and I really could not keep from watching her and laughing in the rear view mirror.
It was really pretty erotic.

Trump released his donor and supporter information to the RNC and state parties back in August and according to a state party regional person the volunteers were coming out of the woodwork asking to help out. They have also hired door to door workers who are targeting to hit 400 homes per day per worker.
The Repubs have set up the database of potential swing voters and volunteers go door to door focusing on the swing vote. The volunteers load an app on their phone and each neighborhood shows up with the houses to canvass. Very simple to use. I was told the Democrats are still using the paper method and are running behind (not as efficient).
The state party guy said that they have tons of information in the database that they are constantly analyzing it. My opinion is that the Repubs may be slightly ahead of the Dems in capability.
Finally, one thing that is left out of the discussion is Trump's rallies. He is doing 7 or 8 a week with thousands showing up at what really is moments notice. That's not even counting Pence's rallies. I think this is having the effect of training people to show up, maybe people that wouldn't show up normally. I say this because I was at the rally in Asheville Monday and the Repubs were out in force registering people at the rally. If a person is going to stand in line for hours to see the Donald, it seems that the much less time consuming task of voting for him will occur too.
I saw numbers of 1.2 million total people have showed up at the various rallies over the months, most of those are in swing states.

I have an idea for a Sunday Gum Thread.
A "Postal Match", but sans the U.S. Postal Service.
Just simply a good .JPG image of the agreed upon target, and your results thereon, emailed to whoever would be the host of that Sunday's thread.
My first suggestion is an easy one.
B-27 target, seven yards, fifty rounds. Any gun or caliber, but iron sights ONLY. Send in a pic of the shot-up target, and a pic of the gun.
Winner gets a year's Platinum Membership, with Ampersands.

It's also had a lot of pieces cut out of it, given as gifts by the family that owned it before it was donated to the Smithsonian.
The thing I really found mind-blowing about it, though... it had 15 stars. The very next star would be for Indiana, the state where I was born. That weird little detail is what really made me feel like I was looking at history, man.
Oh, yeah, speaking of Indiana, and it being today and all... happy wedding anniversary to Heather Radish!

How many people do you know, that you are pretty sure are gonna vote for Trump, but are not gonna tell anybody about it? Where I live, to have a bumper sticker or a yard sight or a t-shirt or a cap would be dangerous, and invite major vandalism or worse. I'm thinking at least 85% of my middle class, mostly white, but rather diverse neighborhood for the suburbs is gonna vote Trump, and not a yard sign or bumper sticker to be seen.
I have seen but one Hillary! Bumper sticker, on a co-worker's car, but we all know she's an idiot, so that's positive advertising for Trump ...

Love love love that Star Spangled Banner.

The red haired guy is satire and he is hilarious. Look for his videos on how to become a vegan and how to become gluten free.
I love when people hold the door open for me. I always flash them a big smile and a thank you. I can't imagine anyone being so rude as to blow off someone trying to do a kindness. We've taught our boys to do the same - my son will get yo the car door before me to open it for me.
I'm grateful for every kindness people show me and I try to show kindness to others as often as I can. And I can say that if you're feeling crappy, go run your errands and smile and talk to the checkout people, or whomever you meet. You'll feel much better.

The two-part long documentary film about them, which I saw just last year, was really, really good. I thought it captured a good bit of their time and place, especially how they and Ronstadt and Jackson Browne had that Southern California sound thing down. Even though both Frey and Henley weren't from the Left Coast (Michigan and Texas, I think).
I second (or third or whatever) the kudos to Al Stewart's border song. I also think his Year of the Cat will forever and always sound great.

Trump came out here earlier in the year and addressed a gathering at an airport hotel just south of the SFO airport.
It's in an unusual geographically bottlenecked location and the local loony left absolutely packed the front way in and thought that Trump had no chance of passing.
Instead, the Trump motorcade stopped short on the freeway that ran past the hotel, and Trump adroitly made his way out of the limo, up over the side barriers of the freeway, along a berm, down a loose surface of concrete rubble, through the parking lot, and into the back door of the hotel.
LIVE ON TELEVISION from a local newshound chopper.

Middle of the second day of 'captivity,' somebody pissed off the commandant, so he put all of us together in the courtyard and yelled at us. Fifty-something people, crowded together, had us lock arms (and legs). Told us we sucked, all Americans sucked. Said he had been to America years before, for some school. Was shocked to see military people, even officers, run inside before colors because they didn't want to stand at attention during the anthem. Said we didn't deserve to be a world power if that's how we felt. Brought out a flag, set it on fire, told us we weren't worthy to look at it. Look at the ground! Look down! Whole group was pissed but nobody was in a position to do anything. So we all looked at the ground ....
Then the anthem started, and the flag - the real one, was going up. SERE was over, and we were back in the real world in California, and all the guards were Sailors again.
That lesson stuck. I've been to the wrong side of the world several times - WestPac, Arabian Gulf/HOA/Med on a boat, AFG three times. I got about 8 months left in the Navy now. I make a point to be outside for colors as often as I can. I'm going to miss it.

I heard on the Breitbart Sirius/XM show today (FWIW, I think that's really good radio, almost all the time) the guy who's leading the Trumpocrats PAC, talking about Western PA and nearby parts of Ohio and West Virginia. I've also read a good many stories from those parts and other parts of Ohio and PA. And have read stories about the possible hidden "monster" turnout that might be happening on November 8, of people who've never voted, haven't voted recently, and in a huge number of cases in the Rust Belt, never voted for a non-Democrat in their lives ... All pledging to vote Trump. There's definitely something going on ....
Read tonight about a poll in South Carolina where Trump appears to be pulling 25% of the Black vote, and mid-teens (I think it was) of Hispanics. If he polls like that elsewhere, then we're looking at a YUUUUGE sea-change in USA politics and life and hope and all the rest, perhaps especially culture.

Without Google, can anyone name Eddie Grant's other "hit"? I'm not sure if it actually ever got into the Top 40, but it did get airplay. Hint: It's the theme to a movie, but it isn't actually used in said movie - it's on the soundtrack, though.
2nd hint: It's a relatively well known movie that did well enough in the box office to get a (very mediocre) sequel.

How many people do you know, that you are pretty sure are gonna vote for
Trump, but are not gonna tell anybody about it? Where I live, to have a
bumper sticker or a yard sight or a t-shirt or a cap would be
dangerous, and invite major vandalism or worse. I'm thinking at least
85% of my middle class, mostly white, but rather diverse neighborhood
for the suburbs is gonna vote Trump, and not a yard sign or bumper
sticker to be seen.
I have seen but one Hillary! Bumper sticker, on a co-worker's car,
but we all know she's an idiot, so that's positive advertising for Trump
...

So they know they can't get anyone to vote for Sick Hillary by direct endorsement who isn't already voting for her; but they figure enough people are going to vote for Trump that trying to get them voting for their Johnson is a better bet.

He probably agrees with me on Cajun food being awesome, too. I don't like the fact that Louis Farrakhan is on my side in this election, either, but again... freedom! He gets to have his opinion, too."
Something like that. Liberals go into blue-screen-of-death mode when you point out that Farrakhan likes Trump, because he's supposed to be one of the good guys to them.

You know when the checkout guy asks "How are YOU?" Try telling him you are great and then inquiring about him for a change.
The Carrs store near me hires the mentally handicapped to run the checkout (high functioning) and bag groceries (lower functioning). One lovely Down's girl who bags is named Diane. I once said "Thank you, dear," and she responded "My name is Diane!" Fabulous in every respect, and I always remember. I've never had a bad checkout experience, and it always makes me smile.
You try standing on your feet all day dealing with grumpy-ass Ma and Pa Kettle and then maybe you will be nicer to the folks who really do give you service. Gratitude is a lovely thing to indulge upon.

Yeah. He's going to be there too. To try to talk less lucrative client into working with him. I've been a good girl and said NOTHING about that whole thing, which is hard.
Not going to enjoy finally meeting him, and then pretending I'm as charming as Grace Kelly. Although to be honest, the last time I had to chat with him via phone for business, he literally could not form complete sentences and was practically whispering into the phone.

That, and certain types of modern retail have gotten it through their heads that they need to dehumanize their employees as much as possible. I worked one of those jobs while I put myself through a late run through college, and a good bit after thanks to the Obama Economy.
People forget that the guy who came up with the slogan "the customer is always right" died in poverty, and that it probably wasn't unrelated. Only one man ever was always right, and half the world worships him as the Son of God.

Okay, I just read a column in the WSJ by William Galston about the death of coal and the longstanding hillbilly culture in Kentucky and West Virginia, where health and education are of poor quality. Unemployment rates are ridiculously high and it seems there's a slackass white culture that blames its problems on gubmint. It looks real to me.

At my big office campus, I've made it a point to be the guy who greets the janitors and the others whom others don't even seem to acknowledge are human beings. One lady, I just see her beaming when she sees me. Just because I make eye contact, say hi, and wish her well.
I had to learn to be like this, almost ashamed how many years went by without being so. The commenter last night, I think it was, who goes to church but was really depressed. I couldn't comment, but I'd have suggested he might just do these little kindnesses to others along the way as he lives each day. I'm pretty sure he'd feel much better.
As a man of Christian faith myself, doing these things, I get the joy of living what I believe, summed up in the Golden Rule.

Karl Shwarzschild was serving in the German Army in WWI, and while doing it, he came up with the first exact solution of the Einstein Field Equations, which Einstein had just came out with in 1915, something Einstein himself wasn't sure could be done (The equations are quite complicated).
But he solved it, while in a damn war. And he died a year later, in 1916 or some blistering disease.

It's always nice to have someone who is genuinely friendly waiting on you. The worst is when you have someone who is clearly faking politeness like a waitress that uses an exaggerated "happy" voice. I have had so many crappy jobs that were customer service type jobs so I appreciate how trying that kind of work is. I generally hate making small talk in check out lines and stuff but it's always nice when you get the treat of dealing with someone who is naturally friendly and pleasant.
The last, most memorable time like this I walked into a liquor store, and I was the only in the place. When I walked in the two guys behind the counter started shouting and cheering "Woo Hoo!!! Yay!!" It actually scared me and I was startled and jumped a little. They told me that they saw me coming in and said let's celebrate like she is our millionth customer or something. I was so taken by surprise that I shouted back at them a little rudely "You scared the hell out of me!!" Then I laughed at the stunt and they both did too. That was fun.
Worst job: I did secretarial work for a married couple that sold insurance in their own business. They had a bad marriage and the wife frequently came to work in tears crying to me about their latest fight. They used to have nasty fights in front of me all the time. I wound spending half my work day spying on the husband for the wife bc she was convinced he was cheating on her.

When in reality, the SJWs north of our border don't have a defense worthy of Dudley Do-Right. They're relying on Uncle Sam to protect them, just like most of Europe. Yet their citizens (many of them, anyway) love to look down on us and act like they are superior beings.
Don't get me started on them. They got poisoned long ago kowtowing to Parti Quebecois, and it's been downhill since then. They'd have been better off letting the Quebeckers go independent, and kept their balls attached and their backbones worthy of the name.

No decent surgeon would do any kind of sinus surgery without CT head and neck scans. Perforating a sinus is not in the patient's best interest. Looking for polyps, tumors, cysts and the like would be another reason to look at xrays first before any kind of invasive surgery.
Not buying the brain damage rationale for doing a CT scan prior to sinus surgery.

I used to wait tables and my manager regularly gave out cash bonuses to the person working his shift that sold the most desserts or appetizers so maybe they do that for these in store fundraisers. The most effective one that I have a hard time saying No to if it's some lefty compromised charity is when they ask you to round up your purchase and donate the difference.

I once had the pleasure of watching a lazy cow leave her cart behind someone's car, 7 feet from the corral.
As she got in her car (directly next spot), it rolled behind hers.
She backed up over it, tearing up the undercarriage of her crapwagon.
Girls at the grocery store later told me that she had to pay for the shopping cart, too. We all had a great laugh.

That's another thing that I now make a point of doing. I look around the parking lot as I am leaving, and if I see any elderly person taking out a cart of groceries, I wait until they are lifting out the last bit of stuff and walk by as if I am headed into the store, and ask if I may return the cart for them. The elderly ladies always smile and say 'Oh, thank you'.

Well, how about Mr.Jen and I bought a new office phone for him at Best Buy and got the full interrogation about joining the rewards club. When we got to the part of signing up for a Best Buy Credit Card, we said no, just forget it. All the clerk ever had was Mr.Jen's driver's license to sign up for the rewards program.
A week later, Mr.Jen gets notified by Lifelock wanting to know if he had signed up for a new Visa. No, and when he discussed with Lifelock, it was determined that the credit card was opened at ...Best Buy. They had his SS # also.
It was closed with Lifelocks' help, but we ended up having to contact credit bureaus to put a stop order on our credit and filed a police report.
Best Buy won't see us again. No one seems to be able to tell us how they got his SS #.

The familiar shopping carts stayed in the store. When you checked out, the bag boy would bag them and load on the carry-out cart, we could call it.
I can't remember when they stopped doing that, and started expecting you to just use the inside cart to carry your bags outside. Some stores, Publix, are big on offering to push the cart out for you, but at this point, I prefer to do it myself.
Even with this damnable arthritis, I'm not going to let a young girl carry my bags for me. I couldn't look at myself in the mirror and call myself a man to let some 18 yr old girl carry my bags.

I had been brought up by my wise elders to do just that, but at that time, every aisle in the parking lot had a cart corral at each end, and often a corral at the midpoint.
Now, at least in this part of Commiefornia, yuuuuge parking lots will have two or three corrals. I can't be arsed to walk an 800 foot roundtrip to drop the damn thing. I'll leave the cart where it's unlikely to roll into someone's vehicle.

Smaller, locally owned stores still do that, especially the IGA type stores.
I also will always let someone go ahead of me in line who has one or two items in their hand, while I stand with a cart full of stuff. I'm always a bit taken aback at how shocked people are(especially men) who can't believe someone would let someone go in line in front of them.

The first was the well known Schwarzschild solution, which he called a "massenpunkt" point mass (which is the famous Scwharzschild black hole). Every spherical mass has this "exterior" -- it's sort of the Einstein GR equivalent of the Newtonian inverse square point mass notion.
But the interior is about the interior field of a spherically symmetric mass distribution (you've probably seen Newtonian solutions for the inside of a spherical mass -- this is the much more complicated GR equivalent of that).
He did that while in the war too.
There's an interesting "9/8th" result. Imagine compressing a mass down further and further making a little sphere of increasing density as close as you get to the Schwarzschild radius for that mass.
It turns out there is no stable (spherical) configuration less than 9/8th of the Schwarzschild radius.
Einstein gravity has an interesting "feature". It depends on pressure as well as mass (believe me, this is surprising to a lot of people, I can't really explain it, but there are some tutorials out there that explain why this must be so).
So as the gravity increases, the pressure inside the sphere must increase as well to maintain equilibrium. But that makes more gravity, which makes more pressure.
That process runs away and blows up when you get down to 9/8th, and it must collapse. The pressure goes to infinity at 9/8th radius.

I also will always let someone go ahead of me in line who has one or two items in their hand, while I stand with a cart full of stuff. I'm always a bit taken aback at how shocked people are(especially men) who can't believe someone would let someone go in line in front of them.

IMO, she didn't have pneumonia. That entire story was made up and sold to the public and the media because the media will lap it up, it's a rather benign diagnosis hard to argue about because 1. People do contract pneumonia, 2. People with pneumonia cough 3. bacterial pneumonia responds to anitbiotics, 4. most people survive pneumonia and recover well.
What the media won't ask is why an obvious cough that the candidate has suffered with in public for almost three months was JUST diagnosed as pneumonia. She has been coughing and hacking for weeks and it suddenly turned into pneumonia two days before she went to a public event held outdoors. That she suffered a seizure episode at and was never taken to the hospital, and was seen two hours later dancing on the sidewalk, NO coughing, malaise, or any of the normal signs of pneumonia.
Oh, and she was wearing deep blue ugly sunglasses that are recognized as antiseizure glasses.
Has she done any events recently that involved strobe lights? Strobe or blinking light can often trigger seizures in epileptics....

I quit watching the Cleveland Browns four years ago. This will be, sadly, my fifth year of abstinence and scorn.
I lived and loved the Browns since I was five, (1976).
I watched every game and football, (in general), got me pumped until about six years ago.
At age forty-five, I'm just okay to say that I no longer see football as a priority.... as I once did.
Being a numbers guy, I don't even play Fantasy Football anymore. I made some silly-money playing that game, (averaging $75.00/yr), but I could not stomach it any longer.

There are two types of Military Chaplains. First, are the lazy careerists, and they only go through the motions. About as alive as Hitlery's withered heart, and with about the same integrity, withal.
Then, there are the really on fire, born-again in Christ believers. And the truly religious Rabbis. Others, I'm sure.
Those are the ones who minister to the troops under fire, sometimes at the cost of their own lives.
Those are the CHAPLAINS.

I'm a Tribe guy, so I just basically chuckle at the Browns foibles. I don't care enough about football to care that we suck - but we suck in such amusing ways that there's entertainment to be had from it.
I'm sure timing was part of it. I was born in 1987, so I just missed being cognizant for the last great Browns teams. Meanwhile, Tribe fever was in full effect starting in 1994 with the building of the Jake, and the Cavs were usually at least a playoff team.
I also just love baseball, though.

Actually, to be totally fair, it was a great move for them to make that trade to get Sanchez.
For starters: No risk. They gave up a "conditional" seventh-round pick for him. If he doesn't make the team, they owe nothing to the Iggles. He didn't make the team in the end, so the Iggles get nothing. Not a big deal for them, either, because they'd have probably cut him, themselves.
Secondly... this is less obvious, but I think Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch both looked at this situation and said, "This guy is my competition for the starting job? Hell, yeah! I can do better and take that starting job if I just really apply myself." I think Siemian and Lynch both really applied themslves and worked their asses off to improve just because the Butt-Fumbler was the guy to beat for the starting job.
In retrospect, it really was a great move by the Broncos.

Again, take anything I say about the NFL with a grain of salt, but I think QB play is going to be less essential going forward. The Broncos basically showed that with the right personnel, you can win it all with a plug and play QB, whether it was Ostweiler or Lazarus Manning. Not that this is a novel concept - the Ravens did a similar thing for their 1st SB win.
Plus, I'm just not sure about the next generation of QBs. Manning is gone, Brady and Brees are getting up there. Who will carry the torch?

I think the clever business model is that the majority of fans coming to each home game in Vegas will be tourists rooting for the VISITING team!
It'll be like, the Packers with be playing an away game at Vegas against the Rat Pack, and half the people in Wisconsin will go "Woo-hoo! An excuse to take a vacation in Las Vegas -- to watch the Packers play!" And so the stands will be filled with mostly Packers fans. Repeat every other week for a different visiting team from a different city. No one will give a shit about the home team.
Those people at the Las Vegas Tourist and Convention Bureau are GENIUSES!

Unfortunately, I think "Little Snitch" is a Mac-only application.
But there are plenty of other similar programs for Windows, Linux, etc.
Here's a list of a whole bunch of Windows ones:
http://download.cnet.com/s/security-privacy/windows/?tag=bc
You're looking for something that detects and stops any "calls home" from Web sites without your permission. Every time you visit a Web page, especially a mainstream site filled with sneaky widgets and ads and spyware and stuff, without your knowledge the site is sending reports back "home" to the developers and/or Webmasters about your surfing behavior. They then put your data in the database and use the info to "target" you (with marketing), and/or sell your data to some other nefarious characters to target you.
This is happening all the time right now already without your knowledge. These programs can alert you to every attempted instance.
However, beware that it makes surfing the Internet more tedious and bothersome, because you will frequently have to click on a bunch of extra warning windows to visit every new site. AND you have decide to "Approve" or "Deny" each "call home," which requires some thought and discernment.
Also note that some browsers have built-in extensions that do the same thing. I am no expert on which ones, however.

It doesn't plug into any specific browser -- it is integrated to the MacOS itself. Works in the background with ANY and ALL programs/applications/processes on any Mac. Even internal processes! You get a warning for every attempted network communication of any kind the first time it happens. You can "Deny just this once," or "Deny always," or "Approve just this once" or "Approve always." And each time you make a choice, it creates a "rule" -- adds a connection and a port to a whitelist or blacklist. The first month of using Little Snitch is extremely annoying, because you have to Approve Always all sorts of day-to-day crap, but over time it's fantastic, because you can freeze out anything and everything unwanted. It even works to suppress many ads, which are placed on pages because of dynamic "calls home" by the underlying code -- which you "Deny" the shit out of.
At this stage, I can't imagine using a computer without it.
Also, to be frank, I use it for semi-"unethical" purposes -- to "Deny" reminders from shareware programs to please donate. And to stop any and all "auto-updates." My absolute favorite aspect is that I have clicked "Deny Always" for EVERY Adobe address to EVERY port -- so no Adobe programs can call home from my computer -- which they attempt CONSTANTLY. I was unaware of this until I installed Little Snitch. After couple weeks of Denying anything and everything Adobe-related, I eventually had blacklisted the entire company. So now I am free! Free, I tell you!

When I first joined the navy there were some salty dogs still around, some WWII and Korean War vets. They would say, "Boot, when I first signed up Moby Dick was a minnow and the Dead Sea was only sick." "I mess cranked on Noah's Ark." "I been in seas so rough, the toilets were white-cappin' and the sharks were applying for shore duty." What the career counselor chief once actually told me, "If you don't stay in the navy until you fucking die, you're just a big pussy." I recall hearing, "Your wife wasn't part of your ditty bag issue, so don't tell me your personal problems"
Some slang, and some nautical terms:
Liberty Turns (snipes adding a few turns or shaft RPMs above what was ordered on the engine order telegraph, or lee helm, in order to enter port a few minutes early. As a QM I actually DR'd to the approach point to port to arrive 5 to 10 minutes earlier than scheduled on a regular basis. Sue me; it worked.
Neap and Spring tides. Lower/ higher than average tides based on the moon/ sun being in alignment vs sun/ moon acting in opposite to each other.
Flood Ebb currents. All you landlubbers get tides and currents confused.
Set an Drift. Any forces (wind, current, etc) which effect your ordered course and speed (ordered vs true course and speed).
Target Angle: Imagine you're on the other ship and looking at your own ship, what would be your own ship's relative bearing?
CBDR: Constant bearing, decreasing range. Ships are on a collision course.
Scope head CPA. Look it up
Contacts, skunks, targets, friendlies.
Lower low water/ higher high water: Sounding datum/ bridge heights on the charts are based on these averages.
Fancywork: Decorative displays of lanyard or rope-work (yes, the navy does have ropes and not just "lines") usually wrapped around voice tubes or other bright work (bright work = brass that needs shined; hello Never Dull)
Animals that live on the forecastle (foc'sle): Monkey fist, elephant feet, penguin (something)... I can't remember any others (there are about
.Union Jack flying from the port yardarm: someone's in trouble.
Orders to the helm: Steer by seaman's eye (e.g., "following the stern of the Enterprise). Meet her (as opposed to "steady as she goes"). Mark your magnetic head (these are little known ones I recall, besides the usual "right full rudder, steady on course 140").
Flinder's bar. Magnetic healing. Navigator's balls. Compass rose. Degaussing is off. Degausing station is open, Delta flag is displayed.
Can Dead Men Vote Twice/ Timid Virgins Make Dull Companions (ditty to recall how to calculate magnetic vs true)... deviation vs variation...
Go Rub Your Balls With Grease (green, red, yellow, blue, white, green... colors of the spacing markers on a phone and distance line to indicate the distance between ships that are conducting underway replenishment)
Romeo closed up (R flag raised to indicate tanker or supply ship is ready for the other ships approach alongside)
Admiral breaks his flag IN USS Bunker Hill (a flag officer is not ON or aboard a ship)
Captain's night orders. Captain's standing orders. Mid-watch deck log entry: The ship is steaming at lat 32 degrees 45 minutes north, long 164 degrees 14 minutes west, speed 12 knots, course 273 degrees true, 289 magnetic. OOD is LT Frank, 2A and 2B boilers online, #1 main condenser is OOC, seas are from NNW at 8 to 10 feet, skies are overcast, SIT is 64, air temp is 75, steaming in company with USS Turner Joy and USS Fletcher, darken ship is set, condition Zebra set, etc., etc.
Pranks: mail buoy watch, fetch me a BT punch from engineering, get me some new sound-powered phone batteries, and a million more.
After every morning's weather report reported by the QM or BM over the 1MC, always include, "It's a fine, haze gray, navy day."
I'll strike below now.

Steve Wozniak, Apple's co-founder, and Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, have listed their names in support of a presidential pardon for the whistleblower, joining the likes of George Soros, as well as actors like Daniel Radcliffe and Susan Sarandon.
They are all thinking he was a patriot for revealing unauthorized spying on US citizens. That's all well and good but he also revealed a LOT of other information that will aid our enemies. And not only that, he has been hiding out in Russia and we have no idea how much really bad shit he has given them. I say he should receive the death sentence in absentia.

It has been revealed in court that she went out seeking men to come in and rape her and that was ongoing before she finally killed her. One wonders if her defense is the "insanity plea" because this woman is bat-shit crazy AND lethal.

The number of poor fell during the year as the nation continued to climb out of the economic crater left by the economy's financial implosion in 2008 and 2009. But still, one out of seven of us were officially deemed poor. Could that be right?
Of course that is not right, but we have NOT climbed out of that "economic crater" that started in 2009. So you can not blame all of these lies on that.

There are 'kits' that can be purchased to make an inground vinyl liner pool for around five grand, DIY. They'll have either steel or fiberglass walls, tiebacks, fittings, etc. But you still need to dig a hole about 16 x 32, be able to work with regular cement and especially vermiculite cement, and a host of other pretty difficult and arduous tasks.
Certainly not impossible, and if if you manage to pull it off you've saved yourself many tens of thousands of dollars.

And BTW, the last time my liner was changed for my 32 x 16 pool was $4K for the liner alone. That was about 10 or 15 years ago.

He has crushed hillary's lead. At one point she was up Nationally by 15 points and now they are within the MOE. The more the public sees of hillary the less they like her.
I am certainly no Trump fan, Walker was my guy and I predicted like everyone else that he was just in the Primary to have some fun and would drop out after he lost a State or Two, but at this point I have come to think that he is the only one who could have beat hillary.
Certainly no one else would be bringing up the emails, hillarys corruption and bills bimbo troubles.

I didn't watch the video. BTW, my pool w/o the fence I had put up around it cost $13,000 in 1985 time frame. I had the liner replaced once and the main recirc pump replaced once. When I finally decided to abandon it around 2007 it needed another recirc pump and the main drain was leaking beneath the pool. And the liner probably would need to be replaced again. It cost me $3,000 to have it demolished and covered up.

That was one thing about the pool that surprised me. When I had it installed I went down to the insurance company and told them I was having one installed and I had planned on putting a 6ft board fence around it. (Lawyer had informed me if you had a fence case history showed that if kid was big enough to climb a 6ft fence he was big enough to know better). Anyway insurance people said no impact on rates. They said pools and dogs got one liability claim and that was it; cutoff.

The biggest expense I had was electricity. I had to run my pump 24/7 due to a lot of pine trees in the area causing a skim of oily residue on the top.
I had a separate meter base for the pool when I initially put it in. It cost me about $110/month with fairly cheap electricity here in SC.

I never hired a "pool guy" even though they were available here. One of the options I got with my pool was the polaris cleaning system. That thing was great for the first 10 years until the little crawler wore out. It was also fun to watch when you were vegging on the side of the pool drinking beer. The replacement crawler was 4 or 5 hundred dollars. I started vacuuming myself after that.

The Facebook post of hers was basically saying "we will not let him USE us, we will EDUCATE HIM"
But it was not more specific, and Trump got the soundbite out, about "now the water is dirty here and cares are made in Mexico" ... and said he'd put a 35% tariff on cars from Mexico, where they put people out of work here and moved.
I've called it the Liberty Tariff. The products US consumers buy have additional cost that (allegedly) ensure low pollution, workers treated fairly, good health care and child care, and money for defense to ensure liberty, maintain roads ... So of course producers that leave can skip the pollution rules and can treat people like slaves and contribute nothing to our defense. We do we allow that in our imported products? It is like allowing lead paint, except it is a hidden "poison".
China (and others) definitely protect their market, and the "free trade" myth has been exposed as a boondoggle enriching the oligarchs. The "theory" is fine, if the world was fair, and all the children were holding hands and singing "we are the world", but jihadists and foreign spies, and Clinton pay to play is reality.
