Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Sunday Overnight Open Thread (12/31/17) New Year's Eve Edition“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something. So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it. Make your mistakes, next year and forever.” ― Neil GaimanGuess the formatting errors will still be around. Quote II Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man. Benjamin FranklinQuote III The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective. Gilbert K. Chesterton Traveling on your mind? National Geographic bucket list.
A New Jersey surgeon has had his license yanked over allegations he inserted used catheters into the rectums of at least five patients, state authorities say. Dr. Sanjiv K. Patankar, who practices in East Brunswick, is accused of re-using catheters on multiple patients over the course of nearly a year because he ran out of catheters and replacement supplies were on backorder, the state's complaint says. That didn't take long to break that resolution. Do you have a best friend? Is that best friend someone you want to be fused to? I didn't think so, but 2 Detroit men Police are investigating the apparent electrocution of two people early Friday at a Detroit Public Lighting Authority building, Fox 2 reported on Saturday. A worker reportedly told Fox 2 he found the bodies just after 6:30 a.m. when he went to the substation to investigate a power outage. The pair are suspected of breaking in the front door of the substation, and, according to Fox 2, they were in the process of stealing copper wiring when they were electrocuted. Inside the office, police explained to Stanley and Smith that they were under arrest. Officers say Stanley was holding $2,520 in cash and when they asked if he had a gun, he said he had a Ruger 9 mm that may have been stolen, according to the police report. After officers retrieved the gun and handcuffed Stanley, they then searched the black book bag that he was wearing. Police say the following items were inside Stanley’s bag and were seized: An estimated 3,190 doses of heroin inside waxed paper bagsSeveral thoughts come to mind. Does this individual have a felony record? If he does how is he released on such a low bail? Will this guy show up for future court dates? NEW HARMONY, Utah -- A police officer punched his way through the ice of a frozen pond to pull an 8-year-old boy from under the water Monday. Lt. David Crouse of the Washington County Sheriff's Office said emergency crews responded to a report of a child who had fallen through the ice into a pond just after 5 p.m. in New Harmony, which is south of Cedar City in southern Utah. The pond is located near 3100 East and 2500 South. Crouse said an 8-year-old boy was chasing a dog and fell through the ice. Another boy who was watching this happen went and tried to help the child, but was unable to get him out of the water. Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by the Misanthropic Humanitarian.

Odd--it's been two days and still no tweet from Obama in support of Iran's young people.
Why, it's almost as if he supports the police state-regime instead of the people. Hey, CNN; instead of your Ahab-quest to capture a picture of the Great White Backswing, how 'bout camping out in front of your Boyfriend's house until he releases a statement in support of the Iran protestors?

FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. -- Investigators say a Florida man rigged the door to his home with devices designed to electrocute his pregnant estranged wife, reports CBS affiliate WKMG. Deputies say Michael Scott Wilson's father-in-law called police on Dec. 26, asking that they do a security check of Wilson's Palm Coast home after the 32-year-old allegedly made suspicious statements.
Deputies immediately noticed that the front door appeared to be barricaded, with burn marks near the handle. When a deputy kicked the door, there was a large spark and he realized it was outfitted with what he described as a "booby trap," the station reports. screen-shot-2017-12-29-at-2-41-39-pm.png Michael Scott Wilson CBS AFFILIATE WKMG Electrical devices had allegedly been hooked up to the door's lock and handle. Deputies said attempts to unlock or open the door could have caused severe injury or even death. The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports investigators later concluded that Wilson intended for his wife to use her house key, while grabbing the handle, completing a circuit that would have sent a shock through her arms, chest and heart. - Too complicated.

I'm not sayin' it looks cold in Times Square.
But I wouldn't be surprised if the ball didn't drop, but rather, shriveled and retracted. Oh, and BTW. Every entertainer on every network's New Year special, has thus far and without exception, been completely horrid, vapid, talentless dreck. Such is the "entertainment" of the sheeple.

These are of the "minimal to zero coverage" as they call them. There is a "3 string". And then a 2-string. I won't describe them any further. You can discover that wonder for yourself.

Way way back when, I was driving down a rutted highway, rutted because we'd had a freezing rain/snowfall and the roads were unbelievably icy and noticed a slight shimmy of the front end of the car next to me so, I started pumping the brakes because I knew the guy was going to lose it. Sure enough, I got just back of him and biff! he spun a couple of times and into the snowbank he goes.
Had I not noticed, I'd have been clipped when the guy spun out. Pulled over, looked at the way the car was in the snow, told him to get back in and pushed him out and sent him on his way. So glad I don't live in MN any more. Although, CA sucks and I can't wait to move. Posted by: Blake at December 31, 2017 11:12 PM (WEBkv) 293

I'm confused by the first sign "white lies denial ignorance kills people" perhaps an Oxford comma would help?
Posted by: AmericanKestrel ________ The grammar does make it confusing. "White" refers to former Yankees outfielder Roy White. "Lies" means reclines, and in he lies in eternal repose. "Denial" is the refusal to accept that Roy White is dead, which is correct because he's still alive. "Ignorance kills people" is a combination of a logic puzzle and a joke. Ignorance does not kill people but some people don't know that. Pretty clever, really. Posted by: FireHorse at December 31, 2017 11:14 PM (y+SdL) 303

Powder flask, thank you. Excavation was for a church expansion down in low country SC.
I see. I was initially thinking in terms of archeological excavations. Powder flasks were pretty common in the 19th century, but still a neat find. I don't know much about them, since they only became common after the era that I am most interested in, but you are interested you might get an interlibrary loan of this book: https://tinyurl.com/ydehwtxu Might be able to figure out when your flask was made and used if you don't already know, and, you never know, it might be a rare variant or something....

Hadrian #250: Thank you to everyone who thought this was a good night to shoot off tons of fireworks. We and the dogs appreciate it.
Dear ol' Gimli (died Nov 3) hated loud noises. Neighbors' gun practice, fireworks, thunder, sirens, cats fighting, would send him running to me like a puppy, seeking reassurance. I have no doubt he would've taken on a tiger to protect us, so it was always kinda funny to see him cringe and run at noises. He got calmer about it as he got older; possibly hearing loss. But I spent many a thundering night, half-asleep, petting, petting, petting his nuzzling head, saying, it's all right, it's all right.

Dunkirk was quite disappointing. I get that there needs to be personal stories, but they did a piss poor job of conveying the scope of both the problem (350 - 400 thousand stranded soldiers) and the civilian effort. At most I saw maybe a thousand soldiers and a dozen civilian boats.
Oh, and Kenneth Branagh stood in the same spot for all of his scenes. The story lines they had tended to drag (best one being old man and two boys in the civilian boat). Dull movie about an interesting historical time Posted by: ghost of hallelujah at December 31, 2017 11:28 PM (oAY8z) 375

302 I'm confused by the first sign "white lies denial ignorance kills people" perhaps an Oxford comma would help?
Posted by: AmericanKestrel ________ The grammar does make it confusing. "White" refers to former Yankees outfielder Roy White. "Lies" means reclines, and in he lies in eternal repose. "Denial" is the refusal to accept that Roy White is dead, which is correct because he's still alive. "Ignorance kills people" is a combination of a logic puzzle and a joke. Ignorance does not kill people but some people don't know that. Pretty clever, really.

>> So, I am not familiar, how much is a dose?
You know, I have no idea for heroin in mg. There are tables online of "opioid equivalent doses" which will give you a basis of comparison for all legal opioids. Some of which are more powerful than heroin. Anyway, junkies can build up amazing tolerances, taking doses that would be lethal for a normal person. But none for heroin. I'm sure it's available, you'd just have to search in the right (or wrong) places. The trouble with street drugs is the purity and composition is really unknown, so you don't know really what you're getting. It's a dangerous game.

Odd--it's been two days and still no tweet from Obama in support of Iran's young people.
Why, it's almost as if he supports the police state-regime instead of the people. Posted by: The Gipper Lives at December 31, 2017 10:06 PM (Ndje9) Obama is just pissed that the Iranian people aren't cooperating with his plans to let Iran export terrorism and build nukes. A retired CIA guy said this morning on Fox News that Obama forbad the intelligence community from having any contact with the survivors of the Green Movement that fled Iran after the protests in 2009 were suppressed by imported Hezbollah goons.

Junkies can reach unbelievable levels of tolerance (they get in a coffin corner), but 3190 is a quite a few doses still, even for someone at that level.
Posted by: publius, the Persistent Poperin Pear at December 31, 2017 11:26 PM (8O3HH) It sounds like a lot but ... for something that you have to take daily (maybe twice a day) a couple with a tolerance of no more than 4 times a regular dose would only have a little over one year's supply with that.

"308 Looking at the Trumps at NYE. I can't believe how tall Barron is.
Which led me to look up President Trump's height." I was with my nephews and grandnephews on Thanksgiving in Phoenix, there are a lot of tall people in the family, I'm 6'2", brother is taller, and so the kids I was with are his grandkids. ages 7, 5, and 3. The oldest won looks like he's going to be tall, 5 year old, not so much - and then the 3 year old is some kind of genetic mutant. He's very sweet, and kinda goofy, and at 3 he only weighs 6 pounds less than the 7 year old, is almost as tall, and has shoulders twice as wide. His mom calls him her Giant Baby, we're all betting on him ending up at about 6'7" and 240 (at least!). No one who meets him believes his age.

On a more philosophical, or perhaps literary bent, this from Halprin's 'Winter's Tale'.
The scene is a club where a New Year's party is being held, turn of the 19th century NYC: "Then she turned about in her seat and faced a set of French doors against which the cold wind was pushing a shower of winter stars. Without warning, they burst open. Then, inexplicably, the next set of doors flew open too, and so on and so forthright down the line, until the twenty one sets of doors at Mounquin's had all opened in a machine-gun like percussion that that stopped the orchestra and the dancers. The fresh air stoked the fire and turned it from a purring cat into an enraged Bessemer furnace, and the icicle-covered trees outside began to tinkle like a thousand sleigh bells. Then the hands of the clock began to race like the tortoise and the hare, and both reached midnight at the same time. The clock struck along with every clock in New York, and the church bells, fireworks, and ship whistles all sounded at once, turning the entire city into a giant hurdy-gurdy. It soon got so cold that the men rushed to close the doors. When they had shut them and the room was again silent, they saw that several women had begun to cry. The women said that it was because of the numbing cold that had washed over their bare shoulders, but even strangers embraced sadly as they coasted into the new year and felt its strength commencing. They cried because of the magic and the contradictions; because time had passed and time was left; because they saw themselves as if they were in a photograph that had winked fast enough to contradict their mortality; because the city around them had conspired to break a hundred thousand hearts; and because they and and everyone else had to float upon this sea of troubles, watertight. Sometimes there were islands, and when they found them they held fast, but never could they hold fast enough not to be moved and once again overwhelmed." ------------- Hold tight to your islands, Horde Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at January 01, 2018 12:01 AM (nBBdT) 563

Back atcha! Doesn't seem as cold here in my basement office as it did last night. I don't have the electric heater on yet. About -25C outside, meaning sub-zero F. The snow squeaks when I walk on it.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at January 01, 2018 12:04 AM (d6iST) That makes me shiver involuntarily just reading that. I was out on the ranch wearing boots, shorts and a t shirt and baseball hat at 10am. I also saw a pair of beautiful golden eagles drinking from a water trough.

We here "Auld Lang Syne" every time this ball of rock completes one more circuit around the Sun, but very few, I think, know it's true, deep meaning. Look it up. It means "Old Long Since" directly translated. A better translation of meaning would be "old times gone by". When you raise your glass, remember old times gone by, those who are no longer with you. Recall the memories. The things they did, they things they said. Where are they? THey are preserved in your memory. Recall them, and salute them.

But junkies are not exactly the sort of practical people who will plan ahead and stock up a year's supply of their dope. Guy carrying that much is probably a supplier to the street dealers.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at January 01, 2018 12:07 AM Would say so, yes. Also, even if you planned to stock up on that much, the lure of making $$$ off the stock would probably be too great. It'd get sold. Plus, having a lot of stuff in hand is not really a good idea. Apart from inevitably cranking up your use, the best idea is NOT have a large stash, but to keep it turning over and maintain your needs over a relatively short period of time. You have a large stash? That's a huge bust risk (there goes all your $$$ and dope), or even a hit by unscrupulous people to rip you off (like a bust but you might end up dead). It brings heat you don't want and can be mostly avoided by turnover. Posted by: otho at January 01, 2018 12:25 AM (qGuLD) 678

Where did he go? I like him. Posted by: CaliGirl ------------ One night he said that he had not been feeling well, and that was the last that we heard. Probably a year and a half ago. He was not *old* as his father was still living, I believe. Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at January 01, 2018 12:28 AM (nBBdT) I recall that, I post sporadically so I thought someone had been in touch. I also recall someone posting obituaries, trying to guess if that was RK, I think the person posting that info was asked to stop. I may be mistaken.

Miley, vivi, I am in awe of you two. I don't know how I'd function if I lost Mr. D. I can't even fathom it. You (and the rest of the Horde who have lost loved ones) are in my prayers. I'm not really good with these kinds of things, but I need to let you know that your strength is humbling.
Posted by: DangerGirl and her 1.21 Gigawatt SanityProd (tm) at January 01, 2018 12:25 AM (/o9Qk) I used to try to imagine losing him - I'd shudder and stop thinking about it. When it happened, I didn't want to live for a long time. The Horde saw me through. I'll never get over it, but it's getting better. I held his granddaughter on my knee 4 days ago, for the first time. I'd dreaded that, for fear I'd break down. I didn't, and I'm very grateful for that.

I took jam to RK, but that was a couple of years ago. We kept in touch a bit afterwards, but after his dad went south and he had to devote the majority of his time to him, we lost touch. He is good people, I sincerely hope he is ok.

Now that 2017 is gone, it's time to address the pressing issues of the new year.
And by "pressing issues" I mean watching 12 straight hours of bowl games tomorrow. I'm pulling for the local team, the UCF Ka-nigits against the Auburn Tiggers @ 12:30 in the Peach Pit Bowl. There's some other game across town here, LSU and some other team, sometime. Then the Georgia Bulldawgs play Ooooooo-klahoma. Then My Beloved Crimson Tide play Clemson for the third time in three years. ROLL TIDE!!

Mike, besides meeting RK in person and speaking to him briefly about his dad, I know nothing more than you. He was (is?) a young man, probably mid-forties. I really hope he is ok, but I have no knowledge either way. He hasn't responded to any emails or texts I have sent in the past year. I know he stopped by briefly, maybe in the spring, to confirm he was ok but busy, but nothing since then.

Neighborhood firewooks - yep, here in east texas I live close enough to the northeast (mexican) quadrant of town, sounds like the gulf war just broke out.

Funny, isn't it? I blame Ace. Not entirely. But mostly. If he had any clue what he was going to create...!!!
I hope he considers this place a very pleasant surprise. I sure do. You know, except for the Morons who've met in meatspace, we wouldn't know anyone else if we were to pass them on the street. But there's a bond amongst the Horde that's difficult to describe to the rest of the world. I still think Ace should gather all the Morons together and make a conservative think tank out of this place. For a slight phenomenal fee, of course. I could sure use the money. And the level of expertise that's evident here is something else I've found nowhere else on that Intarwebz thingy. Posted by: BackwardsBoy at January 01, 2018 01:07 AM (tRaq7) 800

Posted by: westminsterdogshow........GNAMM ette at January 01, 2018 01:00 AM (mMeIQ) Thanks, people say moving is as difficult as divorce. I would imagine that's not true but it's still difficult. We have trucks, we help friends move and I'm getting too old for that. Moving sucks. My friend that has rich parents had movers move and pack everything out of their lake house for renovations. The movers bubble wrapped toothpaste and toiletries individually. You'd think movers would make it easier but unpacking everything was a nightmare.

Moving is a complete pain in the butt, and worth trying to forget as soon as possible, but, as much as I hate it, I know it is not as difficult as divorce. Never done it myself, but all the people I've known who did that were crazy for two years. You could set your watch by it.

One more bit of Old Long Since, this one performed by the bagpipes, Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to1xT93IlUI You either like pipes, or you don't. The rational part of my mind says this is all nonsense. But their is Scots blood that runs in my veins. Both sides from way back. They said when I was a little kid, the first time I heard bagpipes I was transfixed. I love them, and hearing them just puts me in a state of mind I can't describe with words. So, there may be some "Old Long Since" somehow flowing in my blood from a long time ago indeed.

If I could slip in a prayer request for Slapweasel, please. He's going through some tough times. Even the prayer warrior himself needs some Divine assistance.
Most definitively. Prayers up for Slappy. And for anyone else who needs them. Good wishes abound on this other special night when life is again renewed and reflected upon. I really mean that. It says in the Bible that what you reap, so shall you sow. That's another way of saying "what goes around, comes back around to you." May we plant the seeds of goodness, not for ourselves directly, but for those who are in need of things of goodness at a rough point in their lives. Which would be pretty much all of us. May God Bless us, each and every one. Posted by: BackwardsBoy at January 01, 2018 01:17 AM (tRaq7) 833

What's really, really amusing is that the Fake News and the Deep State revealed their political "COLLUSION" by attempting to divert attention from the fake Russian Dossier being used to acquire FISA warrants for the illegal and unethical and treasonsous wire tapping and surveillance of a Political campaign by a sitting President and his annointed successor.
Our country has always prided itself on the non violent and generally polite and above board means of the succession of power compared to the means used in other countries. Of course the left can't be bothered to uphold that tradition. And they were outed within HOURS by the citizenry. We now can certify to the satisfaction of even the most punctilious of doubters that: The press acts as a partisan purveyor of propaganda for the Left and the Democrat Party That the Left holds nothing sacred and will violate any law or ethic or tradition to acquire and/or maintain political power. That ALL who claim membership in the Democrat Party are as complicitous as those at the top and thus must share the blame and the punishment. It is likely that one could hold the opinion that the Democrat party is an enemy of the United States of America and it's citizens and that they would not hesitate to join forces with any of the US's enemies if it meant they would be in control. They are not worth playing fair with. Any Republican that does should be immediately suspect of being: A: in cahoots with them OR B: a complete and utter fool or imbecile.

New Year's always feels melancholy or bittersweet to me. I try to be jaunty in the comments, but I don't really feel jaunty.
It's like that every year, but losing Kira, who was truly my best friend, plus the cancer diagnosis, makes this one more morose than usual. Posted by: rickl at January 01, 2018 01:26 AM (sdi6R) New Year's is the Lucy football of holidays, rickl - it's why I always stay home. I'm sorry you lost your sweet kitty.

.22 shells that have shot in them similar to shotgun shells. A friend of mine has been using them to take out rats. Posted by: Misanthropic Humanitarian at January 01, 2018 01:39 AM (3/sUh) 891

Posted by: Miley, the Duchess at January 01, 2018 01:09 AM (cu8/f) My friend moved over a year ago, she still hasn't unpacked everything. I've helped her move 3 times.

Posted by: Serious Cat at January 01, 2018 01:39 AM (GtG/j) 892
What is a shot shell?
They're little miniature shotgun shells. Relatively wide spread, good for close range for varmints like snakes. Lots of folks will load them in increasingly potency: 2 rat shots, 2 normal bullets, then something a bit more high-powered, like Hornets. And hope you never get towards the more HP loads. And good on you for your restraint, not knowing what's beyond your target and all. Posted by: BackwardsBoy at January 01, 2018 01:39 AM (tRaq7) 893

Just what it sounds like: .22 long rifle shells loaded with very fine birdshot. Good for offing pigeons in steel-clad pole barns, because the tiny lead shot won't pierce the steel.
Posted by: Bro' Country at January 01, 2018 01:36 AM (d6iST) I will have to ask my gun guy friend to get me some of those. They use those for rattlesnakes too I think. This squirrel is tunneling under my pool deck and under an old rose bush. I'd still have to get close and he runs into the tunnel. I need the guy that works here to put those gopher steel mouse trap things in the tunnels and flood him out. Then he kills them with a shovel.

Another thing that is going to piss lefties and the Salon Hot 25 off: Trump's new DC Hotel made $2M profit for the year (I think it's the year). It was projected to lose that much. Luxury hotels usually lose money for the first few years. Long game or something. Posted by: publius, the Persistent Poperin Pear at January 01, 2018 01:42 AM (8O3HH) 897
Quarter to one local. It's 2018.
I skipped the party. I've never been fond of being on the road come New Year's. Plus bar, cold, etc. Even so, even with just my computer and a Top Gear countdown on in the background, this was a leaps and bounds better December 31 than last year. Thank you, all of you, just for being there and being the Horde. I can't even discuss with my offline friends some of the things I can discuss here. Y'all are the family I may never see in person, and I'm pleased as punch to have you (and that you'll still have my sorry self through it all!) Should auld acquaintance... Happy 2018, Horde!

Posted by: Miley, the Duchess at January 01, 2018 02:40 AM (cu8/f) Yes. Have you tried that? It works pretty good. I think it's better than nicotine gum or patches. I still just plain like smoking, though. Posted by: rickl at January 01, 2018 02:44 AM (sdi6R) 990
>> Are e-cigs the same as vaping?
Not exactly, but the usage is not too standard, I don't think. Vaping tends to refer to the larger devices, while e-cigs are the smaller things that look like cigarettes. Well, I think that's it. I think these are the most successful method of quitting smoking. Posted by: publius, the Persistent Poperin Pear at January 01, 2018 02:44 AM (8O3HH) 991

Miley, a hot mess is where you are still high and whining and crying and sobbing about getting straight and still f***king up left and right.
Or just acting like it. So, no. Don't be a hot mess. That's just annoying and high decibel. Let's just leave our glasses out and let the remaining cheese slices glue themselves to the plate and the coffee table. You can leave your butts out.

kindletot, I don't know about co-authoring with McMasters. he was the solo author of the book I listened to, in my truck, on the CD player.
his first instruction: don't quit smoking YET. smoke more than ever before. suck deeper, and chain smoke until you're finished with this book.... that was exactly what i wanted to hear! Posted by: booknlass at January 01, 2018 02:49 AM (CXrpl) 999
There is something about smoking more than the nicotine hit. They've done studies on this. You can give a person the same nicotine hit IV as they get from smoking a cigarette, and they don't get the same satisfaction. There is something else about the delivery via tobacco smoke that enhances the nicotine hit, and I don't think they've figured it out fully yet. It's why nicotine replacement stuff like gum, patches, lozenges, etc. just isn't as good. Vaping is the closest, but it's still not quite the same thing.

Webster's defines "hot mess" as something that is a state of extreme disorder or disarray or a person who is such, being disorganized, disheveled, or self-destructive.
And it also can mean a person who is also attractive and sexy at the same time. This latter definition is sort of the connotation that the term brings to mind to me. If I hear a gal is a hot mess, well, she's a mess, but hot as hell. Posted by: publius, the Persistent Poperin Pear at January 01, 2018 03:01 AM (8O3HH) 1020

Vaping is the closest, but it's still not quite the same thing.
Posted by: publius, the Persistent Poperin Pear at January 01, 2018 02:51 AM (8O3HH) Not quite, but yeah, much closer than anything else. If you spring for one of the pens from an actual shop, instead of the gas station e-cigs, a decent shop will also let you try different fluid ratios (they mix it right there) so in addition to the nicotine level and flavorings, you can pick a level of... glycerine, I think? which determines how much "volume" you feel when you pull. It really does almost feel like the real thing. It's worth trying the real kits and skipping the gas station cigs IMO. Most decent shops will get you out the door with a refillable rechargeable pen about the size of a Sharpie and maybe 5-10ml of your custom-mixed fluid in a starter package for about $25 which is what, three packs on my home planet? God only knows how much 3 packs costs in NY or CA. Posted by: hogmartin at January 01, 2018 03:10 AM (y87Qq) 1037

Both my PC and my cardiologist are good with me vaping. As my cardiologist told me: "It's not the nicotine that kills you. It's all the other crap in cigarettes that kills you." Also, I've ratcheted down to 1.5mg nicotine in my juice, having started at 12mg a little over two years ago. I should be nicotine free in 3-4 months. Then I'll vape at 0mg nic for a few months, then quit altogether. Posted by: Country Singer at January 01, 2018 03:26 AM (yzxic) 1055

There are some beneficial effects of nicotine as well. It's sort of verbotten to speak of them, because they think it promotes tobacco use. Nicotine can act as a brain stimulant, and there's some evidence it helps prevent Alzheimer's. Smoking would always help my thinking/concentration I thought. At it likely does.

Posted by: publius, the Persistent Poperin Pear at January 01, 2018 03:19 AM (8O3HH) It's not emotional. Follow the money. There are three major entities that are opposing vaping: 1. Governments, who make money from tobacco taxes 2. Tobacco companies, who make money from selling cigarettes 3. The pharmaceutical industry, who makes money from selling nicotine gum and patches This combination, with the help of their paid whores in Congress, is aiming to either put the independent e-cig companies out of business or buy them out and take them over. The "tobacco settlement" some years ago ended up with the big companies taking over the small ones, and massive increases in taxes for the government. "Banking reform" in 2008/2009 led to big banks swallowing up small ones. The same phenomenon is playing out here. Posted by: rickl at January 01, 2018 03:33 AM (sdi6R) 1059

Posted by: Miley, the Duchess at January 01, 2018 03:21 AM (cu8/f) If you smoke a pack a day at $8 a pack jersey prices that's about $250 per month. it costs maybe $30 a month rolling your own. That's $220 saved. New York is like $11 a pack, that's like $330 per month, so that's $300 saved. That's if you smoke 1 pack a day, and I see people buying 2 packs a day like they free, and if you were doing that in nyc at 11 bucks a pop you're pissing away 660 a month, so you would save 600 month. Ok, you're not going to buy a Ferrari , but you can easily buy something pretty damn nice with savings like that. Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Divison at January 01, 2018 03:33 AM (aMlLZ) 1060

Posted by: publius, the Persistent Poperin Pear at January 01, 2018 03:30 AM (8O3HH) That's all true. It's curious that tobacco is being discouraged at the same time marijuana is being encouraged, isn't it? I wonder who benefits from a stoned populace, as opposed to clear-thinking people? Argh. I better go to bed. I'm starting to get pissed off. Posted by: rickl at January 01, 2018 03:43 AM (sdi6R) 1063

One night he said that he had not been feeling well, and that was the last that we heard. Probably a year and a half ago. He was not *old* as his father was still living, I believe.

Our son, the insurance guy, says that tech is making drivers completely, lazily reliant upon it and they think it excuses their lack of common sense. As in looking for yourself. He says that back-up camera screens should be behind drivers so that they have to...well, you know. Posted by: OldDominionMom at January 01, 2018 05:46 AM (GzDYP) 1084

Posted by: OldDominionMom at January 01, 2018 05:46 AM (GzDYP) Yeah, that's where they belong and they're really dangerous. My wife has become reliant on the thing. I told her she's actually breaking the law and they're only there as a final assist. She wasn't even turning around at all. It's an absolutely unreliable means of backing up. I tried backing into our garage with the thing. I was going almost sideways into the garage. It sure looked straight on the screen. Then I turned around in horror. The car was against the center support pole. Fortunately I was creeping very very slowly in. Posted by: Acme Trucking Enterprises, White Truck Division at January 01, 2018 05:54 AM (2FqvZ) 1086

Posted by: OldDominionMom at January 01, 2018 06:02 AM (GzDYP) Will do. The glove compartment of this vehicle is filled with about five manuals. The fattest one is over 800 pages long. There's a manual just for the video display panel. In my field of view while looking down there is so much information it's an absolute overload. Time, temperature, gasoline, mileage, trip odometer, gear in, tune playing, track #, duration, cruise control setting, lane assist, outside temperature warning, backup camera display, bluetooth stuff, text message received... I could go on. All tools for a quick glance by an alert driver. But in the hands of a fool the tools can be a weapon of distraction. A four thousand pound weapon.

Posted by: OldDominionMom at January 01, 2018 06:29 AM (GzDYP) On the steering wheel -- whole 'nother story. At least ten buttons. Volume up/down, track change forward/backward, display stroll, media change choice AM/FM, flash drive, satellite, bluetooth... then there's the windshield wipers forward and back, cruise control setting, manual and automatic headlight control. I'm sure I'm forgetting half of the stuff. These vehicles are built for people with genius level IQ's. I'm not sure letting people with less than that number behind the wheel is a good idea.

Think what a pilot or a F-1 driver has to do, ever since my USAF days in late 70's thought heads up displays might be a good idea for cars. Vital information would be shown onto your windshield so you can see it but never take your eyes off whats in front.
