- From restaurants to funeral homes, robots lower labor costs.
- Not quite dogs playing poker on velvet. Or why CBD won't post this in Mid-Day Art Thread.
- To each their own.
- Huh? Can't hear you.
- Too cute for her own good. Or don't work for a former lesbian.
- Good-bye
WKRPNude Camp in Cincinnati
- The 3 R's and an anti-prostitute fence.
- Talk about some lucky cats.
- Texting, what can't you do?

- Quite the thank you.
- Disco sucks. So do your nails.
- Sex festival is a killer.
Feel free to talk about these stories or something else in this open thread. Management requests that you don't run with sharp objects and play nice with one another. Here's hoping you have a great weekend!!!

From Mashable: The 12 FOOT storm surge will be exacerbated by the sea level rise caused by climate change.
Yes, if you believe man has caused the Earth to warm 0.5 degrees in the past 100 years and that warming has lead to a 0.1in rise in sea levels, then I guess the folly of man has made what would otherwise be a 12 foot surge a 12.1 foot surge. Godspeed Jim in Galveston. Forgive us for we know not what we do.

We're over 100% debt to GDP now, so as they say: bad things happen slowly at first, then quickly. In your lifetime, you will never again be able to earn enough interest in a CD that can keep up with inflation and there is no safe harbor for it other than your mattress. Those retirement accounts will be nationalized, too, bet on it. if we make it 20 more years, I'll be shocked.

Now that little VIA has joined the Navy would he be allowed to use the slang that is in this sailor story, or is all of it non-pc?
Me and Willy were lollygagging by the scuttlebutt after being aloft to boy butter up the antennas and were just perched on a bollard eyeballing a couple of bilge rats and flangeheads using crescent hammers to pack monkey shit around a fitting on a handybilly. All of a sudden the dicksmith started hard-assing one of the deck apes for lifting his pogey bait. The pecker-checker was a sewer pipe sailor and the deckape was a gator.
Maybe being blackshoes on a bird farm surrounded by a gaggle of cans didn't set right with either of those gobs. The deck ape ran through the nearest hatch and dogged it tight because he knew the penis machinist was going to lay below, catch him between decks and punch him in the snot locker. He'd probably wind up on the binnacle list but Doc would find a way to gundeck the paper or give it the deep six to keep himself above board.
We heard the skivvywaver announce over the bitch box that the bread-burners had SOS ready on the mess decks so we cut and run to avoid the clusterfuck when the twidgets and cannon cockers knew chow was on.
We were balls to the wall for the barn and everyone was preparing to hit the beach as soon as we doubled-up and threw the brow over. I had a ditty bag full of fufu juice that I was gonna spread on thick for the bar hogs with those sweet bosnia's. Sure beats the hell out of brown bagging. Might even hit the acey-duecy club and try to hook up with a westpac widow. They were always leaving snail trails on the dance floor on amateur night.

Yesterday turned out to be pretty mild, but the rain showed up in force around 0200, and it's been somewhere between heavy and mostly heavy since then.
The good news is that ol 'Harv has not generated the winds forecasted earlier, so everything seems to be staying in place pretty well.
For those interested, Harris County Texas has a pretty neat "Flood Warning System" you can access online - the various rain gauges and stream heights are in real time.
I'm the only one up, anyway, as copious quantities of "hurricanes" were indulged overnight...

Unless you think the three Generals are part of the swamp then I don't think the swamp has taken over. They very well may be but I think they may fall into another category. I think it was the conflict with them that caused Bannon and Gorka to leave. I could be completely wrong but even though Gorka is on the Right I don't think he has an American mindset . It's the European Right mindset. Haven't decided if that's good or bad.

Pay close attention, as this is an old family recipe. My old family,
Clean the carp, and open into filets. Find a fresh pine board two inches bigger than the carp all the way around, and use brass pins to stake out the carp, skin and all, on the board. Then put into a brick smoker, fired with hardwood, for two full days. Keep that fire moistened.
After two days, open the smoker, throw away the carp, and eat the board.

You're a lot closer to the truth than you think, smart-ass!
Ohio and Michigan were at war because the French, in their a-priori Cartesian innocence, assumed that the southern tips of lakes Erie and Michigan must be exactly straight across from each other, because, rational. This turned out not to be so, in practice, so the federals dispatched the Assistant Astronomer of the Military Academy to re-survey the boundary line. That guy's work has been double-checked by satellite shots, and he turns out to have been a damned good surveyor and astronomer, the man who ended the war between the states,

Ohio was first claimed by Virginia, then caught up in Jefferson's French-Science "Square States" scheme (Northwest Ordinance, the Second Constitution). It was the very model of what corrupt land deals can become under Pres. Washington, cut up six ways from Sunday and sold virtually at a loss by the desperate Eastern fund-raisers. Indian tribes were not the only ones cheated out of their ownership claims.
Ohio militia, called out on false alarms and dragooned into building Hull's Trace over several campaign seasons, didn't turn out for the Fort Meigs invasion. "It's a Columbus thing, you wouldn't understand." (Not really fair, Columbus wasn't the capdle yet, but disdain runs deep). Pennsylvanians held Fort Meigs. There is a keystone on the cemetery gate.
But, consistently, over the course of several wars, it was the Kentuckians who were willing to fight for northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan, and they died by the thousands doing it, too. Right by the courthouse in Monroe, near Mrs Custer's house, is a memorial to "Kentuckians of Michigan." Out at Willow Run there is a bluegrass club named that.
Properly viewed, most of Ohio is a county of old Kentucky.

As the Constitution is the basis for our laws, and our laws are pretty much what keeps law abiding citizens in check, they might want to rethink their position.

Now the TV is referring to them as the "Patriot Prayer" rally.
Theyre going to give a "press conference" in Alamo Square instead, which you probably know because it has an iconic view of dowtown San Francisco.

Indeed. The most "liberal" areas I've come across since moving here are quite a bit to the right of, say, the DC area...

Coming in at the middle (tail end?) of a conversation here, but I've generally come to believe that the vast majority of people who identify as left leaning (i.e. vote for Democrats) are quite incongruent between what they vote for and how they live.
In other words, the vote, and the constant ragging about about awful things Republicans do, that's the beginning and end of the identity. How they actually live... holding down decent jobs, paying mortgages, raising children, buying things, going on vacations, saving for retirement... it's really no different from how so-called conservatives (and Republican voting dimwits) live.
They just chatter about different things. That's pretty much it.

Years ago Jonah Goldberg (yeah, I know) said something like, "most liberals don't preach what they practice". I found that fascinating. They atone for the sin of being decent citizens by encouraging urban rot and moral depravity.

Ferries are down and the one road is blocked by debris so it's very sketchy. My condo building is ok-- now I know why it was built as a tall ugly bunker.
The USCG building next to it was 2/3 destroyed. USCG went to rescue crews of two tugs that sank in the channel nearby, but I haven't heard if they succeeded. Some folks didn't evacuate and no doubt are needing some help right now.

Yes, the feeling part, it is something they thirst for constantly, because their actual lives are not enough.
People call liberalism a mental illness, and I think that's not entirely untrue. There are personality disorders that fairly fully match this need. The emotionally dis-regulated, subject to the whims of the world, getting blown this way and that. The difference perhaps, between liberals (I don't like using that word here) and people with Borderline, histrionic and narcissistic (and yes, many "liberals" have these diagnoses) is that the liberals who appear to keep it together have this out. A mechanism that works to keep them regulated. Most of the time.

The Fort (Castillo de San Marcos)
The beaches- surfing, or fishing (surf casting).
The deep sea charter fishing.
Nearby (Crescent Beach)-
Fort Matanzas National Monument
Otherwise, bbq, shopping, barhopping.
