Some snow, but ice too here.
But we have a nice fire going, school and co-op are canceled, fam is working from home, so all good.

I had a rough day and even rougher night last night, personal crap I'm working through. I apologize for sounding defeatist and things yesterday afternoon. You Morons help me more than you know.
Thanks everyone.

Now the wind's picked up and there's a lot of sleet in the snow, which makes for dicey conditions and coronary-bait shoveling. If it keeps up like this--and it looks like it will for some time yet--we're in for a real problem.

30 mph. This shit is ridiculous, unacceptable. And it's sleeting. You can't even use an umbrella, because it would be destroyed in a few seconds because of the wind. Someone needs to put a stop to this crap.

Thousands of kids going, "Damn, what a waste of a perfectly good snowstorm." And the rich-bitches are already at Disney World anyway.
Not really much of one, though. Maybe four inches (but, Lake Erie swampshore, so drifts to one foot). Perfectly normal March weather, which translates in Snowflake-Speak to "Level Two! We're all gonna die!"

I am drinking their "Just Black" blend...my first one from them. It's good, but I realize that I will have to grind beans from now on, since they don't offer a range of grinds.
I am irritated by Peets Coffee. They kept their progressive bullshit in check for years (I started drinking their coffee in the mid-1980s) and in return I sort of squinted and turned away and bought their coffee. But their recent behavior has pushed me to boycott.
Fvck 'em!

I'm looking out of my office window. There hasn't really been much in the way of accumulation, though I have no way of seeing whether the snow has already turned to sleet. But the wind is really howling now, so I think the brunt of the storm is about to hit.
I dislike winter, snow and cold immensely. What I really don't like is driving home, immediately having to run the snowblower before I can even get in my driveway, then having to do it all again before I go to sleep and then one more time at 3 the next morning before going to work.
First world problem, I know.

The story said Francis made the announcement July 6, 2015, in Guayaquil, Ecuador, during his first Mass at the start of a three-nation South American tour. It said Francis had revised the biblical teaching to cover children raised by same-sex parents and removed prohibitions on adultery. It said Francis had added new commandments to forbid genetic engineering and self-glorification and said the Vatican was having a new set of commandments etched into marble.
The pope did indeed celebrate his first Mass in Ecuador on July 6, 2015, but his homily focused on the Virgin Mary and the joy of families. At no time during the trip, or at any other point in his four-year pontificate, has Francis changed the Ten Commandments.

Speeding tickets are not law enforcement. They are the stupidest form of a police-enforced tax.
A retired California Highway Patrol chief admitted a few years back that speeding does not cause accidents proportionally to the degree that speeding vioaltions are enforced (Distracted driving is number one with a bullet. )
It is hard to determine actual wreck-causing violations of traffic codes such as swerving across lane lines, impeding traffic by driving too slowly, and junk-wagons spilling loads that are improperly tied down. Takes too much effort, too much chance the judge will be lenient and the payoff is minimal.
It is easy to write a speeding ticket. My Easy Bake Radar/laser shows you doing +20 mph. In school or work zone add 3-500 bucks.
Congrats. You just paid your city councilman for a day's work.

The Justice Department on Monday asked lawmakers for more time to gather evidence related to President Trump's claim that former President Obama ordered wiretaps on Trump Tower's phones during last year's presidential campaign.
The House Intelligence Committee said it would give the Justice Department until March 20 to comply.
Current and former administration officials have been unable to provide any evidence of the Obama administration wiretapping Trump Tower, yet the president's aides have been reluctant to publicly contradict their boss.
On "Fox & Friends" this morning, Judge Andrew Napolitano said that even if the Obama administration did spy on Trump, there may never be a way to prove it.
He explained that the statutes allow the president to order the surveillance of any person in the U.S., without suspicion, probable cause or a warrant, but that would leave "fingerprints."
In this case, the alleged surveillance was reportedly ordered in a way that left no record, he said.
"Three intelligence sources have informed Fox News that President Obama went outside the chain of command," Napolitano said. "He didn't use the NSA, he didn't use the CIA, he didn't use the FBI, and he didn't use the Department of Justice."
Instead, Napolitano said, Obama used GCHQ, a British intelligence and security organization that has 24-7 access to the NSA database.
"There's no American fingerprints on this," Napolitano said. "What happened to the guy who ordered this? Resigned three days after Donald Trump was inaugurated."

Couldn't get through two episodes of Daredevil, was forced to sit through Jessica Jones which was a pile of steaming I don't know what and I didn't try the others.
Posted by: bicentennialguy at March 14, 2017 09:56 AM (vg8iE)
I enjoyed Daredevil. Jessica Jones was... bleh but not the worst thing I've watched out of boredom. I could not make it through Luke Cage. Setting aside the overall tone of trying to take blaxploitation seriously and trying to be edgy by saying the N word constantly, the writing was possibly the worst I've seen in anything I've ever watched. The acting was even worse (which is disappointing since I like most of the actors in other stuff they've done). Plodding and repetitive is an understatement. If they cut it down to 3 episodes, they still wouldn't have had enough of a story. Paper thin stereotypes of an excuse for characters. Poor attempts to be "artsy" and "urban" (and suck up time for lack of story and plot) by constantly cramming in awkward and really talentless, awful music bits that were cut like in like a three year old did it with a chain saw.
Honestly, I can't say enough bad things about it. Friends and I used to get together and rent the worst B movies we could find and found it endlessly entertaining. Luke Cage is unwatchable. I kept forcing myself to watch the next one, hoping that the last was just a sad fluke but finally gave up because I got tired of being so bored during and annoyed after that I was screaming at the TV for playing such shit.
I seem to be in the minority though. All the reviews praise it. That probably means I'm racist and a nazi or something.

Couldn't get through two episodes of Daredevil, was forced to sit through Jessica Jones which was a pile of steaming I don't know what and I didn't try the others.
Posted by: bicentennialguy at March 14, 2017 09:56 AM (vg8iE)
I enjoyed Daredevil. Jessica Jones was... bleh but not the worst thing I've watched out of boredom. I could not make it through Luke Cage. Setting aside the overall tone of trying to take blaxploitation seriously and trying to be edgy by saying the N word constantly, the writing was possibly the worst I've seen in anything I've ever watched. The acting was even worse (which is disappointing since I like most of the actors in other stuff they've done). Plodding and repetitive is an understatement. If they cut it down to 3 episodes, they still wouldn't have had enough of a story. Paper thin stereotypes of an excuse for characters. Poor attempts to be "artsy" and "urban" (and suck up time for lack of story and plot) by constantly cramming in awkward and really talentless, awful music bits that were cut like in like a three year old did it with a chain saw.
Honestly, I can't say enough bad things about it. Friends and I used to get together and rent the worst B movies we could find and found it endlessly entertaining. Luke Cage is unwatchable. I kept forcing myself to watch the next one, hoping that the last was just a sad fluke but finally gave up because I got tired of being so bored during and annoyed after that I was screaming at the TV for playing such shit.
I seem to be in the minority though. All the reviews praise it. That probably means I'm racist and a nazi or something.

Trump's claim relies on copious media reports of investigation and
surveliance as summarized by Mark Levin and others which was the basis
of all of the Russia talk vis-a-vis the Trump campaign.
To resolve this all it would take is an EO instructing all IC and
LEO to release any and all investigation material, warrant request and
warrants pertaining to Trump and Trump associates.
And you got to love the tough language eminating from congress towards the DOJ.
The GOP is a useless pack of cuntrags.
.
.
.Exactly. This all disproves every single article written by the msm citing "unnamed sources in the Intelligence Community"saying the Russians helped Trump . Either Trump's campaign was wiretapped like all of those stories claimed or it wasn't.
There were tons of articles using off the record sources written saying the IC had transcripts of conversations. Either they were lying out of their ass or Trump really was wiretapped, you can't have it both ways.

I blame AOL for his continued insistence that internet access/ email/ home pages are inextricably linked. What's worse is he moved outside of the area of his cable provider, switched to something, then tried to keep using his old cable provider email through some convoluted log in method he'd set up on AOL because "that's how it works".

What a terrible cop you managed to find - my son found one of those bastards a couple of years ago who had him bailed up on the side of the motorway for an hour inspecting my son's motorbike
My son was not speeding but this bastard copper pinged him for a number of defects all of which were out of order because my son hadn't modified a thing on the bike - it was as new from the factory
It took some time to get things corrected but my son was still out of pocket for work time lost - going to the Motor Registry to get the bike re registered etc
Then after all this the bike was pinched from his apartment building underground garage - cameras, gates etc as it's also a resort

What happens when they set a March 20 deadline and are not satisfied that it fully explains one Trump tweet? I presume McCain and the Uniparty will move directly to impeach.
Trump can just site the NY Times and their claim of wiretap, or the Napolitano sources. It seems the internal war is ongoing, and RINOs like Ryan are being exposed. The DC Cartel will not go down without a fight.

One of my last speeding tickets was in CT. On the way to Boston for a Red Sox game!
The asshole state trooper wrote the ticket, then leaned in the window and asked how many people were in the car. It's a big SUV and every seat can be seen from the driver's window.
Since discretion is the better part of valor, I answered the question instead of saying what I was thinking, which was, "When does kindergarten start for you so you can learn to count?"

On the other hand, I managed to not trip until after I put the stuff I'd spent an hour organizing into the overnight envelope and the envelope was sealed so that was surprising.

Frankly even if you did the personal server route like Hillzebub did the tools to administer it have gotten a lot user friendlier over the years, though you'd have to worry about power and connection reliability and keeping the machine in a place with proper environment (NOT a bathroom!).
I can see a future where a built-in house server is as standard an appliance as a water heater or heat pump. But Big Data hates that, and the Deep State loathes it, so it doesn't happen.

I got stopped for speeding in upstate NY in the dead of winter , 10 or 15 degrees with snow flurries. I had rolled my window down just enough to satisfy him. The cop as usual started off as an asshole and then asked for my registration. Because of his attitude I slowly opened my glove compartment and pulled out a pile of paper work . In semi slow motion I inspected each piece of paper , front and back to signify that I was searching for the registration. As the cop was getting colder and colder outside he was also getting hotter and hotter as I continued my faux search . He finally gave up and just quickly wrote me a ticket for speeding and hopped back in his warm car. It was somewhat satisfying toying with him.

Yes he is rich as shit. Most of the 10-15K units are air cooled, which means they won't last more than 24-48 hrs without over heating. I thought of getting one on a condo I own, but really not worth the investment.

Basically, Five Eyes is a cooperative intelligence sharing agreement where the allies not only share intelligence but according to documents released by Snowden it allows countries to get around domestic spying laws by having the allies do the spying for them.
The Five Eyes alliance was used to spy on the UN and foreign leaders like Merkel which we know happened. Not a real stretch to think they may have been listening to Trump.

A water-cooled generator doesn't need a constant supply of water. Just means it has a radiator with coolant in it like an automobile. And water-cooled engines, as a rule, are much quieter than air-cooled, which is a big consideration for a standby genset.

I read that a while ago! I really liked the front end of the book, but I thought Bushkin got too hostile and heavy in the last few chapters. Behavior that Carson showed to others was almost celebrated by Bushkin, but when Bushkin became the target it was all of a sudden a character flaw.

Blame the studios/ distributors for that. It's the goofy ass licensing agreements. I guess they figure if you have to wait a few days, you might pay them directly at a zillion times e price instead.
Not defending Netflix however. They used to be way better about updating content and getting new and hit stuff online when they were building their customer base. Now it's mostly crappy TV shows that I didn't care about when I dropped cable and 1,001 Netflix original things, a lot of which pretty much sucks.
I wish they'd cut back and be more more selective and discerning about the original stuff and go back to the simple business model of letting me watch a decent movie without getting ripped off by iTunes or driving to a Redbox.

No way that thing needs to be serviced every three months, if it isn't getting constant use. I'd say, run it for 30 minutes, once every three months, and change the oil and filter once a year, or whenever the engine hours indicate an oil change, whichever comes first.
If it's natural gas powered, you don't have problems with fuel gelling or going stale. Only long-term issue might be humidity causing rust to delicate parts in the gas "carburetor". A small heater in the engine enclosure to keep temps a few degress above ambient would probably prevent that.

Formal agreements date from around end of WWII which cover signals intelligence (eg. NSA, GCHQ), general intelligence (eg. CIA, SIS) and counter-intelligence (eg. FBI, CSIS).
A good overview through 1980 is:

As with the "don't offer extra info to cops" advice, Trump is surely running any other comments on this through the lawyers. I figure even that first "wiretap" tweet was not just off the cuff. After MSM/Dems flipped the narrative after his excellent speech, he wanted to flip the focus back on THEIR secrets, instead of the false narrative of him and the Russkies.
It seems some in the IC are also helping Trump return fire on these false narratives, as with the three sources Napolitano mentioned, and others. Hopefully there are only a few Obama loyalists to be cleaned out of the CIA et al. But that may be wishful thinking.
