Overnight Open Thread (4 Nov 2016)
U.S. military hackers have penetrated Russia's electric grid, telecommunications networks and the Kremlin's command systems, making them vulnerable to attack by secret American cyber weapons should the U.S. deem it necessary, according to a senior intelligence official and top-secret documents reviewed by NBC News.
So NBC News is looking at Top Secret docs and have no problems with that but seem put off by FBI leaks to Giuliani?

Remember those Propecia lawsuits? This was a anti-baldness drug. It lowered the production of DHT, the testosterone metabolite that messes up the hair follicles. The body then shunts the production of more estrogen....
They had men suing saying it made them turn into trannies. Growing breasts and wanting sex changes.

Right? I watched the last four games of the World Series this past week and was far more involved than I have been in any NFL game, including Super Bowls. Even during Vikings games, I had the TV on, but was always doing other stuff. But the World Series hooked me. I paid attention.

Technology has been at war with me all week. Haven't been able to keep up with the news, or follow much on Ace, posts or, especially, comments.
Naturally, this is while I'm struggling to get my latest video up prior to the election. Barely made it, got it posted this evening. Webworkshop #13 - Election 2016 Edition. Link in nic. Political satire and commentary, interrupted by three old political-ish songs (demonstrating why I don't do those anymore). Enjoy, spread the word to friends & enemies, embed, like, comment, and donate if you can so I can win the war against crumbling technology.
Now, off to read the no-doubt magnificent ONT post and find out what I've missed during the week. That is, if the computer doesn't fritz out on me again.

Horses with herpes at LA Equestrian Center.
The California Department of Food and Agriculture reported an outbreak of myeloencephalopathy, also known as equine herpes virus.
10-year-old saddlebred was also diagnosed, the CDFA stated.
Officials said two horses were at a show in Las Vegas on Oct. 27 and returned to the Los Angeles Equestrian Center on Sunday.
Apparently what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas.

From the severe conservative from the NR, Kevin D. Williamson:
Beyond that critical - irreplaceable - function, elections are a pretty dumb way to make decisions. Consider three controversial issues: the national debt, our anti-terrorism efforts in the Middle East, and climate change. To get a broad general understanding of the competing policy agendas touching any one of those issues requires a considerable amount of work; to gain a real command of any one of those issues at anything approaching real expertise requires a commitment of years of study and discipline; to truly master any one of those issues is not an avocation, but a career. Never mind that ordinary voters have neither the time nor in most cases the capacity to do that for one of those subjects, much less all three . . .

*blinks* fuck no. Hockey is one of the most brutally physical sports. Has a season nearly as long as baseball, and it's very fast-paced. But hockey players are wonderfully humble. Fucking love hockey.

Dealing with a family after an athlete dies is a huge pain in the ass because every member wants "something". Some family member would have gotten pissed that another family member got the ring, and another got the jacket and they got nothing.
I was with a minor league team when one of the players died. The team flew the family, plus extended family in from one of the most remote locations in Canada. Big $$$$ for the flights. Put them up in the nicest hotel in town for the weekend, on a weekend when a top10 college football team was hosting a game in town and NASCAR was holding a race an hour away, big $$$$ for those rooms. A van and a driver to take them wherever they wanted, and meals at the hotel and the nicest restaurant in town. We presented them with framed jerseys, and told them we would ship the jerseys to them.
The next week, we took the jerseys to UPS store for them to ship. They packaged them up real nice, and we paid a $150 to ship them. A couple of months later the family has contacted the local news bitching that we sent them the jerseys without paying shipping. I showed them our receipts and told them we paid for all the shipping and that is was a whole lot more than $50. Turns out the Canadian government charged them a tax on the framed jersey and that was our fault for not knowing what the Canadian tax authorities would do on something shipped.
Oh, and the family bitched that we only gave them 2 framed jerseys that each cost about $600 to produce.
So yeah, I can understand that the Hall doesn't want to deal with the families of deceased inductees.

If you get a Roku streaming device, you can get the NHL Gamecenter app, and for $130 a year, you can stream out of market games. Quality is primo.
They also have a UFC app that you can stream their "channel" which includes all their PPV's, but you have to pay whatever the going rate for a PPV per month is.

UPS positively sucks for cross-border shipments into Canada. They charge a grossly-inflated "brokerage" fee for the simple task of collecting a 5 to 7 percent GST or HST (depending upon the destination Province). One tax, not two, and no Customs duty. Paperwork so easy, even I can do it. I had a truck cab headliner, worth about $300, shipped to me UPS, and the bandits dinged me $70 to collect the $21 GST due.
The Post Office charges "brokerage", too, but it's a $15 flat fee, regardless of the value of the product.
So, expecting a "gift", and having to pay UPS over a C-note to get it out of hock could tend to piss people off.

It wouldn't surprise me if that played a part, but I think there was more to it than that. When Ace was talking about rdbrewer's absence from the blog, he said he was getting complaints from the other cobs about rdbrewer posting pro Trump stuff in the sidebar. So, ace limited him to 1 Trump item per day.
That tells me that the other cobs who complained didn't want to be associated with a pro Trump blog.

Young got quite fond of the horse, they say, and would visit him all the time in the stables after the show was cancelled.
He was a trained movie horse. They initially made the horses mouth move by a using a wire (you know that annoyed the hell out of the horse), but they said he actually learned to move his mouth on his own on cue.
The horse trainer they had to make the horse do all the moves would sometimes get mad and yell at Bamboo. When that happened, he would go over and get close to Young. Young was always friendly to him.

I got a #NeverTrump vibe from Maet, but I could be wrong. He just seemed to be a bit more inclined to let the pro-Cruz / anti-Trump stuff go, but when it came to the opposite, he would delete stuff quickly.

All of my family members have learned to not talk politics at family functions...
We used to have some who pontificated on stupid shit... but a couple of years ago some of us had enough... and fired back...
Yes... it led to a couple of really uncomfortable family functions... BUT...
in the long run, it was a good thing because it was Mansplained to the original offenders just how THEY had started the shit... and now... they don't...

212 The class actions lawsuits are so sleezy. The worst kind of lawyers are attracted to pursuing them. I got a $10 check as part of a settlement by lawyers that sued a bank that I did business with. Lawyers got rich and I got $10.

I'm part of 2 class action lawsuits. One for my car, which doesn't affect me in any reimbursements but I guess extends the warranty even more.
The other is for my computer graphics cards. NVidia GTX970's advertised 2 GB of high speed memory or something but its actually 1.5 GB of high speed memory and 0.5 GB of less fast. If you file the claim you will get $30 back which they figured was about the cost for the difference. Which I'm fine with getting back $60 for items I'm actually happy with.

Some actual philosophical debates snuck into that CGI-fest, which were intriguing. It was definitely the most Buddhist film I'd seen in awhile. It promotes that there is a Natural Law, and it warns about outside forces offering immortality.

To this day we still have no resolution on the question and we have more and more Americans who fall into highly questionable status on the eligibility.
It's going to just end up like the Oath of Renunciation and Allegiance where the words have been rendered totally meaningless and naturalizing Americans' first act as Americans is to be allowed to take an oath in bad faith.
But I am amazed that people think that the fighting has been so much worse this year over Trump. There have always been fights on this blog over all sorts of things - and they have been as nasty, if not worse, than the fights this election cycle.

It was Canada charging some import tax.
Posted by: CaliGirl at November 04, 2016 11:22 PM (Q5Ymk)
There really is a tiny number of products remaining with actual import duties or quotas, coming into Canada. But all out of country purchases (same as in-country purchases, neither more nor less) are subject to GST or HST. GST is the Federal Goods and Services Tax, and is a sort of value-added tax. I have to charge it on my services for work. HST is "Harmonized Sales Tax", and for those Provinces which have/had their own Provincial Sales Tax, the HST enabled them to blend GST with their existing tax, one single fee to the consumer, and the two levels of government split the revenue based on the relative rates.
Point is, there is one charge by government, just one. Not many. So the act of collecting that tax, the so-called "brokerage" is totally trivial. Cash registers do it automatically. The Post Office (Canada Post Corporation) charges a flat $15 fee for "brokerage" and probably part of that is for the cost of having an employee look up the goods in question to ensure that they are not one of the few remaining items with quotas or import duties.
UPS charges a percentage rate on the value of the goods, and it is exceedingly high, for what little value they add. And of course, if you complain, they spin it as being caused by "the government".
Never, never use UPS for cross-border shipments, even gifts. Post office is the best choice.

What would be much more difficult for me to is to be nice to NeverTrumpers if Trump loses narrowly. Yes, I'll feel bitter and so will the NeverTrumpers who will say "if we had only nominated ______) I voted for Cruz in the primary but recognized that beating Hill was the most important thing. It will be very tough to forgive any conservative who thinks Trump is worse, knowing what we know about the FAB.

And the Christine O'Donnell thing wasn't even about anything real - just schoolgirl silliness. She certainly wasn't having any dinners of prepared sperm and blood with her friends. This is whole different universe we're in with Podesta and these mental cases.
Then again, I always thought the way the Vichy GOP was coming down on O'Donnell (more than anyone from the left, really) was the stupid part of the whole thing. But, Vichy GOPers are going to just be who they are.

It wasn't the tax, which is just a sales tax. It's the usurious charges claimed by UPS for collecting that tax, which can vastly exceed the value of the tax collected.
And they should have carried the jerseys home on the plane, because they likely could have brought them into Canada tax-free, because $300 basic personal exemption for 48-hour trip away.

The archive is organized by month and year so if you know the date for a particular event (like Michelle Fields' arm rape), theoretically you could go to the particular month's archive and search/eyeball through the post headlines (that might or not might reflect the topic being discussed) and see if you can find appropriate, related posts.

I don't know 'bout all that, but I know that the Colt Lightweight Commander in God's Own .45 ACP is the best pistol configuration under the sun.
And that there is no better revolver than the Smith & Wesson Model 27-2 (fancy) or Model 28-2 (plain), in.357 Magnum, in either the 3-1/2" bbl for the M-27, and the 4" bbl., for the M-28.
Or, if you're of an esoteric bent, find a vintage Model 27-2 in the rare 5" bbl., and walk with the legends.
And either ketchup or mustard packets work well as reactive targets when stapled to the cardboard backing. Would work on a hardwood backing too, I suppose.

It's by Harper Polling, which I've never heard of, but then again I don't pay a whole lot of attention to polls. There are a couple of links at the end for "toplines" and "crosstabs" which are interesting. The sampling was 49D/41R/10I. I don't know the breakdown of voter registration in PA, but given the results in recent years, it could be accurate.
I liked one question:
Q: Which of the following statements comes closest to your opinion about the remaining few days of the election? Complete torture, I avoid turning on the TV so I don't to see one more political ad. Train wreck, I don't like it, but I can't look away. This is the most exciting election in years, I'm part of a movement.

My 2cents, (an I'm an admitted Luddite in these matters)....but it seems like cyberwar is a MAD scenario. Because of nukes, AKA Old School MAD, if nothin else.
Completely wreckin a country's infrastructure electronically, would lead to millions of deaths..(albeit more slowly than Thermo style)...An an end to the targeted country/culture as we know it.....
Wouldn't the target retaliate Massively with whatever means available....if for nothing else, as a Fuck You?
An escalating scenario follows the logic of MAD (worst outcome)..
When applied to cyberwar IMO.....
Target Beijing's grid, they target D.C.....and so on....rampin it up until the missiles fly as a last resort.
I reckon that's why quantum computing and legit ballistic missile defense should be priority one.

It removed nearly all taxes and tariffs applied specifically to goods originating from outside a country withing NAFTA. There are a few classes of goods that may still have tariffs or outright bans on import.
I can tell you that right now, for example, there is a bullshit "anti-dumping tariff" applied to U.S. made sheetrock being imported into Western Canada. There's a huge demand right now, because of the rebuilding of the fire-damaged city of Ft. MacMurray. And the one sheetrock plant in Ontario is running flat-out, and can't meet demand. But greed is greed. And sleaxy fucking Liberals are sleazy fucking Liberals.
But for me as a consumer, GST applies equally to the made-in-Canada socks I buy as it does to made-in-USA socks that I buy. So, not discriminatory.

And now all coffee drinkers have to suffer with lukewarm coffee because some old bitty never learned not to open the lid of a styrofoam coffee cup stuck in between her 80 year old legs, in a car (probably moving).

Was reading "Pegasus Bridge" today, about the British glider troops capturing the bridges over the Caen canal and Orne river on D-Day. There's a hilarious bit about one of the platoon leaders, after crossing the bridge, stopping in the middle of the street and looking around. One of his Sergeant's asked him if he was OK and he replied "Yes, I'm fine but I can't find the bloody umpires!".
He was thinking it was another training exercise instead of the real thing.

George P. Bush sounds like he's closer to being a member of the Mexican ruling class than an American. Or perhaps he just wants to import the attitude and world view of the Mexican ruling class to America. It's all about family ties. Some people are just born to rule.
He must be stopped at all costs.

GST is Federal. Applies nation-wide. HST (harmonized sales tax) applies in those Provinces which had their own pre-existing sales tax, and chose to "blend" it with GST so that there is only one tax charged at the till. Some Provinces, notably B.C. refused for a long time to "harmonize", and therefore had two taxes at the till. B.C. has now gone "harmonized", I think. But I don't go there much any more, although I was born and raised there (in the same town where Alan Young, Wilbur of Mr. Ed fame, spent many of his childhood years). I don't know if there are any remaining holdouts.
I know Arizona, for one, has different sales tax rates in different towns, FFS. Canada's sales tax regime is really pretty damned simple.

• Some provinces have no sales tax so they just charge the federal GST (VAT-style tax) on certain items.
• Some provinces have a provincial sales tax of their own and charge it and then charge the federal GST separately.
• And some provinces that used to have a separate PST have done a deal with the feds where they combined the PST and the GST into a single tax charged on your bill; and they and the feds split it.
The mixed tax was to be called the Blended Sales Tax at first but they changed it when it was obvious that we peons calling it the BST or outright calling it the Bullshit Tax was going to be a political act. Ontario's is called the HST for Harmonized Sales Tax.

Yes, in some states municipalities set their own sales tax. Or like in the case of VA, counties set their own tobacco tax. Kind of ridiculous.

That might have been too large for the postal system. But UPS is far from being upfront about their usurious "brokerage" (i.e. ass-raping) charges.
How could you guys have known that in advance? And how could the recipients have known in advance?
If anyone needs to be ass-raped in a class-action lawsuit, UPS would be a fine target.

That's not true. They served their coffee at 180° - 185°. That is not so hot that someone has to put the coffee cup down. That is a good temperature for coffee, especially commercial coffee that most people are taking out and might not be drinking for a little bit.
(and when you're seated in a car that might well be right between your legs) at which point it spills and burns them damn near to the bone, then you have a case on merit.
But that is also not what happened. She put the coffee in between her legs - it was a styrofoam cup and anyone who has ever held a styrofoam cup knows that they are not the sturdiest of cups - and took the lid off to put sugar or cream or whatever in ...TOOK THE LID OFF. ANd the car was not parked but had just pulled out of the drive thru, so chances are 85% sure that it was moving, even though the old bitty and her grandson claimed that it wasn't ... sure ...

I don't remember the specifics, but the jury did find that the coffee McDonalds served was x degrees hotter than "normal".
185 actually sounds right. IIRC, 160 is the standard.

That's why I posted the temperatures for my water use at home. 160° for coffee is not hot enough to serve, commercially. Especially not for coffee that people are taking out. For coffee that comes in an open cup to be drank at the table 170° is a good temperature but for take out coffee 180° is where it should be. The people who like lukewarm coffee can always let theirs cool. The people who like hot coffee don't have that option.

There was a case, here, years ago of the same exact thing. I think it involved a sperm bank, though, and a doctor there.

I guess it's just because I'm a youngin -- the oldest car I've ever owned / driven was a '99. And it had cupholders, albeit little shitty Japanese style cupholders. Not like my '09, which has cup holders big enough to hold a 40 oz.

We had one here where a guy was out on his riding lawnmower and backed up and ran over a little boy that his wife was looking after at her non-licensed daycare center.
Family of little boy sued the man and wife, the riding mower manufacturer and Lowes. The riding mower had originally been sold at Lowes, but the guy bought it used from someone who had modified it. Their argument was that the mower blades should have disengaged automatically when he backed up. One problem, that feature didn't exist when it was built.
Goes to trial, the jury goes to deliberate, the family decides at this point to drop the husband and wife as defendants, leaving just the manufacturer and Lowes as the defendants. Jury decides the family deserves something, so they award the $6M to them.
So lucky for us business owners that this area has some of the most generous juries in the state.

It only had two cupholders, a double spring-loaded ring that pulled out underneath the front ashtray. So if you were the driver or the front passenger, you could either smoke or drink, but not both at the same time. There were no cupholders for the backseat passengers. But they could smoke, at least.
My current car, a 2014 Mazda 5, seats six and has six permanent cupholders, but no ashtrays at all. I don't exactly consider that progress. It's like the pendulum swung all the way in one direction.

Because Disgust is used by so many sites, Disgust also has stalkers. I know about Disgust stalkers, I had one for a short while, going so far as to make my commenting history 'private'. The stalker then got bored because it couldn't follow me around and, when I reset my comment history to 'public', the stalker was no longer there.
I hate Disgust for the way the comments are embedded. A comment is made, then there can be hundreds of comments on that 'conversation' which I don't care to follow, forcing me to hit 'load more comments' 10 or 15 times just to get past it.
I also have been banned at sites (looking at you Gateway Pundit) because of my Disgust avatar.
I like linear comment threads, like here, not the embedded crap. I've tried to read some Reddit pages linked here but they're just hot, unreadable messes.

That 11am whichever day this week didn't really materialize, so I'm skeptical. Also, anyone posting or viewing a Clinton bangs a 13 year video is committing a felony, which makes it highly unlikely that anyone in law enforcement would leak the tape as claimed.
I expect *something* tomorrow, but I think it's probably going to be more noise to the din. Which helps insofar as it turns off Hillary voters, I guess.

But the ergonomics are all wrong. I have to take my eyes off the road to use it, which was never the case with the old built-in ashtrays (which were lighted).

For a long time in Ohio you could get cited for reckless operation for drinking anything while in the driver's seat. Police claimed many accidents were caused by people choking and losing control. This caused cup-holders to catch on slowly.

Back in the day, when dashboards were metal, the inside of bottom-hinged glove compartment doors had little embossed circles that looked like they were supposed to be cupholders. In practice, they didn't even stabilize a milk-shake when you wre parked at the drive-in.

If they really have those tapes on Clinton sexcapades and worse coming out (as many seem very sure of) ... it will be Trump in a landslide, unless they completely rig the vote numbers. Wikileaks hasn't let us down yet, though they are not the ones doing the direct talking ... just mentioning "phase 3".
Assange said something about "they won't let him win", but they may have been in the context of why they were pushing through this "phase 3".

He got into two separate dustups with other commenters in a relatively short period of time on the ONT. And, in both case, the mods asked him to drop it, but he kept going. That was the thing: ignoring the mods when he was asked to drop the issue. After the first one, Ace even put up a post during the day about how he wouldn't accept the mods being ignored.

Anyway, it has the side windows. We sold (at my my father's insistence) the other one, an '86 F-150 to another local guy who was always borrowing it. His idiot son burned the thing up a few weeks ago. That boy has always been destructive. How he did it we don't know, but we're all sure he did something stupid. And his father thinks he the greatest thing ever.
That really pissed me off because I'd done a lot of work on that truck and had it running like a top.

In theory, you're right. But if you and I start going at it, each of us saying mean things to each other, neither willing to back down, and both of us getting more insulting in our comments, well, pretty soon it gets unpleasant for the other commenters who are just trying to kick back and shoot the shit. So, in that case, a mod would probably tell both of us to knock it off. And, if either or both of us decides that our little spat is too important to drop, the mod in question is going to take the next step.

As I noted earlier today when someone else brought her up, I was pretty astonished at Y-not's diligence in pursuing a Chechen-like vendetta following the primary to support allies/punish opponents of a certain elected official from TX. It was just moving from cringe-worthy to unwittingly funny and self-parodic when she stopped.
My negative assessment of our prospects rests mostly on other things, but one thing that reinforces it is to see how fundamentally unserious even generally right-thinking and very engaged people are - as evidenced by much flouncing and drama here over You Know Who.
We didn't get where we are solely because of Ayres ampersand Co., the Dems, and compliant morally narcissistic uninformed NPR sheep. If Tuesday goes a certain way, above all it will confirm the fundamental unseriousness of the USA today, to include most of its vestigial American (mindset) population.

Only one company had a really good passive ventilation system, with cowl vents and an exhaust vent in the tail light, so that air would flow with the fans off. I wonder if anyone here would know what company that might have been.
Once GM started the business of having a fan on "low" when you had it turned to "off," the writing was on the wall for vent windows and vent doors.

And they still can't get the dimmer switch right! My '97 Suburban has it so you pull the lever towards you to switch beams. Pull for bright, pull again for dim. The '08, you have to push for bright, pull for dim, but if you pull back too far, it flashes the brights (supposedly a passing warning signal). The pull, pull style is easier to get used to.
One problem with floor-mounted dimmer switches is that they tended to die early from corrosion induced by salt-laden slush dripped on them by the driver's foot in winter conditions.
I had a '56 Cadillac once that had a wonderbar (automatic tuning) radio with a toe switch of the floorboard that would make the tuner seek a new station. You could really get people going with that. Say loudly "change", and tap the toe button stealthily. Your passenger tries it, no worky. "You didn't hold your mouth right." Great fun.

I later found out that Packard and Buick had this feature many years before. And in the same way that some people would "ride" a clutch pedal, and even today will lightly ride the brake on an automatic, there were drivers who would diddle one finger on that shifter and use up the clutch lining in no time.

That was commonplace in the '60's. Ford Mustang and Mercury Cougar had them, and a wiper switch was incorporated into the pedal, too.
And a simple rubber-bulb gadget, feeding windshield washers from a vinyl water bag was a very-popular accessory until built-in washers became the norm.

VW's "Automatic Stickshift" was much the same deal, with a vacuum clutch controlled by a microswitch in the shift stick, plus a torque converter (!) and a three-speed, not four-speed transmission. VW fans tend to hate the thing, but my late uncle Leo, who had had his left knee fused because of arthritis, could not drive a standard shift, and bought a '68 VW with the Automatic Stickshift the year it came out. Traded in his '52 Chev Powerglide, he did. And he loved that car.

I'm still a believer: when approaching an engine that has not turned over in a while, I'll pull the plugs and squirt a little in there. And then, I often have to pull the plugs again and clean them after it fires, but hey. It's like giving a horse a sugar cube before you mount up. For engines that may actually have rust in the bores, or stuck rings, ATF is often recommended for this. It does not smell as good.

Yeah. I have had cars with vacuum wipers. They were pretty well universal on most North American cars until the early '50's, and persisted on some cheaper lines into the '60's. Electric wipers were a luxury feature, optional at extra cost.
And since they ran on engine vacuum, which drops to near-zero when the engine is working hard, your wipers would usually quit, or slow to to a pitiful crawl when ascending a steep hill. So the manufacturers adopted vacuum reservoirs, and vacuum booster fuel pumps, and even electric vacuum booster pumps to remedy that flaw, despite the fact that a simple electric motor on the wipers themselves was the obvious solution. Rube Goldberg would be proud...

The "beauty" of the vacuum "motors" was that there was one on each arm. Electric motors being expensive, there were these awful linkages. And of course it was assumed that it would ever be thus. And everything electrical was assumed to be relatively short-lived and unreliable, unlike this World of The Future we're in now, heh. Funny thing, just about the time everybody dropped vacuum wipers, they lost the bowden-cables for heaters and vents and used vacuum to control that. And the hoses got old and leaked, and you couldn't get to them anymore, and then...
We had air-powered wipers on several trucks, and liked them. Naturally, they were only there because you were already pumping and storing air, for the brakes. Best setup is on the army truck, which has air motors on the swing-away windshield frame, and a little handle on the back of each one just in case. Combat redundant.

Yep. The Flxible coach has air wipers, and they work fine. Air or vacuum, or hydraulics are well-suited for making reciprocating motion. Problem with vacuum is it's a "by-product" of engine operation, and is not constantly on tap.

Though I did note Maet's (unintentionally?) hilarious response to someone during an ONT when that someone pointed out that CJ wasn't making any sense and was just relentlessly pushing Teh Stupid.

wipers, powered off the steering pump, as well as the Hydra-boost for
the brakes?
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 05, 2016 02:09 AM (CUYn5)
I know the mid 80's diesel GM cars (Olds and Buick) had the hydra-boost brakes. Not sure about their trucks but it would make sense that they did.

I've been having an adventure with replacing a refrig evaporator motor. I ordered a knockoff part for the exact part called for by Kitchenaid, based on model # etc., and it is the same dimensions as the OEM part they specified. $70 vs $16 delivered.
So I pull the old part, and the two ain't the same. Even if I had paid ~5X for the OEM part it still wouldn't have fit properly. Sigh. So I cleaned up the old part and put it back in. It is failing (noisy), but not dead yet. I was being proactive for once. The part is over 20 years old, and has run almost continuously for that whole time. Not bad, really. But the rotor is showing its years.
So now on Monday I get the pleasure of getting on the phone with Kitchenaid to find out why they recommend the wrong freakin' part. And trying to return the part I ordered.

I don't think the state can do anything about the vote, itself. All they have in their power, so far as I know, is to try and punish the elector afterwards.
This is my understanding, at least.

I've always had problems with Disqus hanging, on multiple sites. Disqus just sucks. Compared to minx, it has some nice concepts, but what good is it if it only works 50% of the time?
Just stay here, where minx works as designed.

Then you don't get it at all. Venial, stupid and without a thought of anyone but themselves as "real" humans with rights, feelings or boundaries. In a nutshell, your average liberal idiot.
Simple, yes, right on down to stupid, but not bizarre in the least.

We have a chance to turn around the culture. Reverse a number of policies that are not sustainable (to use a word they've wore out).
The best work we can do as conservative / libertarians, will get more thoughtless acquiescence then ever gratitude. But hey thanks does not drive us.

Supposed to be a great day here in No. Ill. Some yard work to do and some beer to be drunk (drinked? dranked?) for the Cubs victory. I had DVR'd the repeat of the game on MLB. I missed some of it that night.

This is a first for me.
So of course I had to go get some Grolsch in the flip top bottles, so I have something to put the beer in.
I sort of feel like Flounder in Animal House.
Could go good.
