Sunday Overnight Open Thread (4/2/17) I Mailed It In Edition
Quotes of The Day
Quote I
Better a witty fool than a foolish wit. William Shakespeare
Quote II
Before a man speaks it is always safe to assume that he is a fool. After he speaks, it is seldom necessary to assume it. H. L. Mencken
Quote III
I've searched all the parks in all the cities and found no statues of committees. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Quote D
It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt. Mark Twain
If you are in Sweden, you are free to roam about the country. No. Not really. Fake news.
Malmö, Sweden's third-largest city, houses over 300,000 people, as of 2017. Despite its modest size, the town has a crime rate equal to that of vastly larger cities. The local police are barely able to investigate murders. Less serious crimes often go unpunished. Malmö probably has the highest percentage of Muslim immigrants of any city in Scandinavia. The most Islamic city in Scandinavia also happens to be the most criminal and the most violent.
This poor Trans-Racial woman. Who would have thought that one mentally ill person out martyrs another mentally ill segment.
Rachel Dolezal, former African-American studies professor and NAACP branch president, thinks she faces more stigma against “racial fluidity” as a “transracial” person than transgender people do for gender fluidity. In an interview with Salon for her new book on racial identity, Dolezal, who was outed as a white woman presenting as black in 2015, compared her racial identity to Caitlyn Jenner, who publicly came out as trans shortly before Dolezal’s bust.
Camille Paglia scorches the politically correct. No apology from her regarding trans activists. Frank Zappa and Lithuania.
Frank Zappa never went to Lithuania and had absolutely no connection to the country. However, the youth of Lithuania had a connection to Zappa—he was the icon of their newfound freedoms. This is evidenced in the Frank Zappa memorial near Vilnius’ city center.Wonder if there are Huskies and yellow snow there?

Left wing fer shure.
He lives in the same neighborhood as Jerry Pournelle, who is certainly not left-wing. Jerry has mentioned a few times on his blog (Chaos Manner) that Ed is really a nice guy in person.
And there you go.
I am actually pretty certain that Ed is kind of an asshole, but he lives in the same neighborhood as Jerry and is probably pretty civil with him because of that.

I always wondered if Zappa's deepest thought on art was: you want music that you can hum? Listen to Mel Torme; I do art.
I don't like his art, It is jarring and giraffes filled with whipped cream make me uncomfortable, and anyways they clash with my drapes.

When I call Comcast, their solution is to send a "reset" signal to the modem/router.
It's our personal modem/router and it's a couple of years old.
Instead of buying a new modem/router, we decided to rent one from Comcast.
I reboot the modem myself about 15 times a night.
It's aggravating.

Politely, IMO you got Zappa wrong. He was a fresh, libertarian breath of fresh air in the 1960s. But perhaps you just did not grok where he was coming from. Yes, I ended a sentence with a preposition. My bad.
If you cannot listen to Hot Rats and not hear his genius.... well, that is sad.

I was at Vons getting some snacks, and I had purchased two items, bottled chopped garlic and pickled garlic (both Christopher Ranch). The checker said "ooo, lotta garlic today."
I decided to try and be funny, given that the National Guard Armory is nearby (this was in Los Alamitos). I said "yeah, the armory has me as part of a top-secret program. They want to see if how effectively they can weaponize my garlic breath."
It got a laugh. Then some wag behind me in line yelled out, "It's already working!!"

Call them and tell them that they have a line problem... tell them to actually send someone out to look at it...
Its not the modem....
Log into said modem, and there will be a log file of what its doing, when and how often its dropping out.... write it down.... and be the squeaky wheel...
It took ATT 5 service calls to get my internet straightened out... and they finally found Water in a Line 5 blocks away that was causing the issue....

That stuff about meds and grapefruit juice? I've been enjoying the "Citrus Cola" 1893 lately, which is made with "natural flavor" on the label (i.e., most likely a little bit of grapefruit juice).
Problem is, I'm already taking Simvastatin.
Guess I should quit the citrus 1893, which is too bad. It tastes good.

I presume this is illegal/legal immigrants bringing over family once they move here, and women tend to outlive men...

Traditionally the Saudis liked conservatives because they feared Iran and the Soviets and a strong America was a good counterweight.
In the early 00s though Bush 43 was putting pressure on them to liberalize their politics and culture, the Soviets were gone, and Iran wasn't quite an overarching threat.
And suddenly you saw a bunch of State Dept old hands now working for Saudi funded think tanks...and people in the Department who planned on that career path when they retired sabotaging the president....and the press thought it was great.

So many think that they will get to 51 Senators, win the House, and then Trump will be Impeached and removed. It's as simple as that.
When I remind them that they need 60 votes to remove, they say that the Dems will get the 60 Senators in 18 not realizing that they will be defending twice as many seats as the GOP and there is no way that they will get 60 Senate seats in 18.
Of course, these are the same people think that the Brexit vote to leave should have a 60% vote threshold like the US has for Constitutional Amendments. (Con Amends actually 2/3rds but libs are dim) These are the people that do bitch about the Constitution all the time as one person I know called it "that God D@mned Constitution".

And that they'll be able to frame Trump for something to impeach him ... and that then they'll get to appoint Hillary.

"In 1990, under the invitation of president Vaclav Havel, Zappa was invited for a meeting in Prague, to which he was, indeed, greeted like rock star. Engineer, Dave Dondorf, recalls the moments:
"Frank was shocked at the adulation, if you will. It was well over the top. It wasn't subtle, it wasn't blase, it wasn't cool. I mean these people went nuts. It was like the 'King of Freedom' had showed up. It was pretty strange."
Vaclav Havel was, himself, a lifelong fan of Zappa's music himself. Havel felt that "Frank Zappa was one of the gods of the Czech underground." "I thought of him as a friend," said Havel, "Whenever I feel like escaping from the world of the Presidency, I think of him." In a move to show his true appreciation, Havel appointed Zappa as the Special Ambassador to the West on Trade, Culture and Tourism, to which he accepted.
Following their first meeting, Zappa met again to discuss ideas about increasing tourism within the country, introducing credit cards and television shopping networks with Havel, his Finance ministers, and the Ministry of Culture and Trade. Havel was hoping that Zappa could help Czechoslovakia get western goods and services within the country.
Just as Zappa was embracing his new position as special ambassador, his previous political past caught up with him. U.S. Secretary of State, James Baker, intervened, advising Havel he could either do business with the United States and receive continued economic aid, or continue his association with Frank Zappa."
Baker's wife was on the PMRC. Assholes.

I believe the pattern in 2014 was that the Republicans won 9 of the 11 competitive Senate races.
If that pattern holds for the 17 competitive elections in 2018, you'd expect the Republicans to win *14* seats leaving them with...63. Even 50/50 would have them up to 57...

After Nixon/Agnew won in 1972, Nixon and Agnew both managed separate actions that would end up getting them in trouble. Both resigned to save being removed from office...and you STILL didn't get a Democrat president.

well, if we are unable to stop people from smuggling drugs, or even people into the country, what is the likelihood we would be able to stop them from smuggling guns into the country. not like we are the only ones making guns.

I had a '67 Plymouth Fury III. Two door, same thing.
Big car. Eventually just rusted out. Still had a great engine, the 383 "Commando" V8. But it had a shitty two barrel carburetor; I should have put in a four barrel Holley.

I had a lovely Dodge Dart in the seventies. That thing rusted all to hell. So I took it to a body shop to see if they could do anything about the rust. Fortunately the guy was honest. He told me that I would spend a bunch of money and within months it would start showing rust again. But he said "that slant six engine will go forever."

What is, I wonder, today's "Slant-Six" in the world of modern, computer controlled, EFI engines?
I think it'd have to be a proven, quarter-million mile performer. The old "100,000" mile benchmark, is really just a warm up these days. People keep cars far, far longer, than ever before.
Modern rustproofing helps, but the drivetrains have some incredible service lifespans, now.
Subaru's boxer motor might be such an example.
Which other powerplants are in serious nomination?

Those engines were hard to kill, and even if their is a disaster they still could get you home. I had a friend who threw a rod through the side of the engine block on his slant 6 Duster around 20 miles from home. He stopped at a gas station, grabbed a quart of oil, poured it into the big hole in the side of engine, and made it home.

Have to give props to the 3.2 Acura engine. My last one had 260K on it, and it ran like the day I bought it when I sold it. I sold it to a friend, he got 275K on it and it don't burn a drop of oil. I did kept up on the oil changes every 3K and did the timing belts, etc, so that helped. It only needed 1 coil pack in the entire 260K miles. My other had 145K on it when I sold it. That car was insane, the only thing that car needed in 145K was one battery and a radiator.

VW's TDI is supposed to last a long time.
My wife has a 94 Mitsubishi Eclipse with 150K miles on it. The thing runs like a top, and she only has to add about a quart of oil between oil changes.
My FIL who was an auto dealer service manager for decades said that the engine is actually a Hyundai engine, and that Hyundai makes a really good engine these days.

There are marine conversion kits for them. Wet exhaust elbows, heat exchangers, etc.
Same for Cummins inline 6 cyl. diesels, 7.3 Powerstrokes, and certain varieties of Isuzu and Kubota diesels.

My DH just signed up with the Men for Life group at the Cathedral here to guard the Church overnight for adoration hours. Very cool. They provide escorts from the parking lot into the church and then guard the church proper from 8:00 p.m. Friday until 8:00 a.m. Saturday, so the rest of us can do an hour or so of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
Plus, they do Mass and then rosary marches at PP. Very cool indeed. That abortuary won't stand a chance.

copy of "Only The Beginning" again. (It's Chicago's 2-CD compilation of
greatest hits.)
One of the things that was great about early Chicago was the little
mini-suites they would do before some of their songs, like "Make Me
Smile" and "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?"
And with that, I have to say goodnight myself. Hope everyone had a great weekend, thanks for the chat, see you soon.

I saw Chicago in May of '72, I think it was, in Boston. I think I still have that ticket stub in my old scrap scrapbook. I'll have to look it up. My favorite group at the time. I also had that big poster of the old Carnegie Hall photo on my bedroom wall.

"We must fight on
not in the hopes of winning,
But, rather, of keeping something alive,
That when we meet our end,
It may be said of us
That we tackled, whenever we could,
And though (insert "if") defeated,
Not without honor, fought."
(apology and homage to Henry Reed, A Map of Verona)

Election fatigue was definitely a factor for me. There were a lot of times when I didn't even want to turn the computer on, because it was everywhere, but I felt like I had to anyway. Hopefully this place will get back to its old self.

In many respects it has returned to some semblance of normality, or as much normal as we are going to get around here.
Some ONTs are raucus, some are slow and languid...like this one. But the whole day was like that, so I am not surprised.

Anybody care to diagram that mishmash of a sentence? I need more coffee, and a cigarette, and I don't even smoke.
Anyway, good morning horde. Damn, this ipad just suggested the word horde after the phrase good morning. We ARE being watched!

Q: How many feminists does it take to change a light bulb?

By September my phone knew by the time I typed the letters 'Hi' to suggest Hillary, then Clinton.
Weird though, not so much for Trump. It would eventually suggest trump but without a capital 'T'. I suspect no Samsung/South Korea love.

From the first photo it appears the local HOA hasn't gotten around to setting rules for manditory uniform appearance of mailboxes.
Don't worry, they will.

My favorite (insert any leftist group here) lightbulb joke works for just about any of them.
How many (x) does it take to change a lightbulb? Nobody knows, they just sit in the dark and complain about privilege.
