Chill-Out Thread
A friend expressed to me that he was depressed and angry due to the news (and Twitter -- which he took off his phone, wisely), and I'm feeling that too, and I figured you guys are also feeling that.
So, here's a completely politics and bummer-free thread. No politics -- consider the post below a "live" thread for political chatter. It's only about 20 minutes old, anyway. If something breaks and you *have* to get it to my attention, email me. Or just say "I posted something in the thread below." Also, no shit-stirring. Leave ongoing arguments to another thread. Just say hello to each other, check in, and talk about cool stuff you're doing or reading.

Just spent $659.00 on a 4 wheel brake job. All pads & rotors replaced. 3 year, 36k miles warranty.
Not bad for 115k miles on factory brakes.

Blade Runner 2049: All of the weaknesses of the first without the shock of originality. Plot makes no sense and is essentially stolen from Total Recall (false memory implants to make someone hunt the person you want to find -- but if they had the memory implants in their possession, they could have just used them to find that person themselves!)
Game Night: Big disappointment. I had high hopes. Almost all of the good stuff was in the trailer. Stupid attempt at plot-twist that made no sense.
The Mummy: First 15 minutes were straight from Uncharted. Then it got bad, and stole liberally from An American Werewolf from London and the Brandon Frasier Mummy.
Where it didn't steal, it just was pointless and made no sense. I still do not understand the mummy's powers -- he seems to just be a vampire who steals life with a kiss (or inhalement of breath) instead of bite. The Dr. Jekyll cameo was terrible and unnecessary.
Also, as with Brandon Frasier mummy, this mummy almost immediately steals life and looks human instead of looking like a mummy. If you're going to make a mummy movie, why not acutally have, you know, a mummy in it? If you want to show the actor, just have her carrying a talisman that lets her appear human sometimes, but then reverts to mummy form when she attacks or tries to steal your breath.

Less than 100 of the Union-Reifgraber were made,
and I can only find 3 that have ever sold.
The broken one with no bluing left, no firing pin or trigger,
and no follower or spring in the magazine sold for $2K
3 years ago.
This one is complete, matching serials on every part,
and the original high polish blue. Got it for $450 from
a guy who didn't do his homework. "It belongs in a museum"

Are you playing the original game? or the recent variations?
I enjoyed this game as a kid, but when I recently looked to buy it, I couldn't find it in it's original incarnation. It seems now there are multiple versions: only set in the ETO or the Pacific but not both; different stages of the war ('42 vs '43). Heck, there's even a WWI version, I think.

He's unpacking after being forced to switch offices due to a reorganization. He started showing me his collection of fountain pens, fountain pen ink, etc. He has a really neat collection, and it turns out he knows a great deal about fountain pen mechanics. His exotic fountain pen ink collection is breathtaking!
My brief chocolate reward visit morphed into a 45 minute discussion of our favorite pens and mechanical pencils. I'm not quite the pen geek he is, but it was a lot of fun. The next time I bring in my Rotring 600 Trio multi-pen/pencil, he wants me to stop in with it.

If you look up "Everything that is wrong with Sherlock" on youtube, you'll see a lot of stuff, and if you are like me, you might find yourself agreeing with most of it.
I generally really enjoyed the first season--even the stuff he didn't like about Moriarty. But as the seasons go on, his invective becomes ever truer.
The finale should have been entitled "How about this..."

The crimes are usually not interesting but they'll have some interesting background they got from Wikipedia or something, like the landfill where the world's worst game is buried (a reference to the real burial of Atari's ET game) or the Cicadia 113 game or the "Lucifer" programming language and stuff like that.

True, but I had zero expectations, so I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't suck beyond belief.
At least it wasn't as bad as "Last Jedi," which I saw last month and was stunned to discover that it was worse than everyone said.
And I am an idiot Star Wars fan, and have the first six on DVD, even though the last three were, in retrospect, pretty bad.

I've had problems with water in two basements. With one the water rose up from the footers whenever there was a hard rain. That required jackhammering the inside perimeter of the basement to install waterproofing drainage stuff that led to a sump pump. I had two sump pumps put in, 1 standard type that plugged into an outlet, and a 2nd submersible pump that was on a battery backup. One fine day the standard pump burned out and if not for the backup pump it would have been bad.
The 2nd basement just had water come in and drain down the wall from one spot when it occasionally rained really hard. I had dirt dumped on the ground outside that spot to try to raise its level and cause rain to drain away from the house.
At my current house, my wonderful sweet boyfriend has spent weeks digging trenches, laying pipe, installing drains, and connecting in the drain pipes so that when rain pools on the driveway or hits the drain pipes it gets carried out and discharged away from the house.
I recommend you try to figure out where the water is coming in from. If it's coming in through the walls or up through the footers, you need a drainage system with a sump pump so that it's evicted from the foundation as quickly as possible. Do you have any wet spots on the walls or mold? That can be a tip off.. If the water is running down the wall because of an issue with water pooling outside, then you can look at fixing the drainage in that spot. Drain pipes can be a big culprit if they discharge too close to the house. Ground that has settled and created a low spot where rain puddles form is another source of leaks that can be fixed outside.
Good luck. Water is pernicious, and it can do a lot of damage....

One thing that bugs me about these and so many other detective/crime shows these days is that they feel the need to give the protagonist a mental illness every time. Holmes is a sociopath or on the autism spectrum. Poirot in the recent remake of Murder on the Orient Express is painfully OCD.
What was once an interesting idea (e.g. Monk) has really turned into a cheap gimmick. Why can't these people just be eccentric instead of having to have a clinical diagnosis?

If you want something that plays pretty close to the classic 1980's version, then A&A 1942 won't be too far off. It has a few changes and new pieces though, so if you really want classic (and there is NOTHING wrong with that) ebay is your friend where you can find it for cheap if you are at all patient.
I am almost embarrassed at how many versions there are and I own. Current versions only include 1914 (WW1), 1941 (fast version, fewer options/pieces), 1942 2nd Edition ("core" version), and the big boys : A&A Pacific 1940 2nd Edition and A&A Europe 1940 2nd Edition, which when combined make a true monster of a game with many rules and such that don't exist in simpler versions.
Then for now at least you can also pick up a copy of A&A Anniversary Edition, which many feel hit the sweet spot between fun and complexity. When the last printing ran out back in 2008 it went up to about $1,000 a copy on ebay. You can find it now for a bit over $60 on Amazon.

I see that they're backing off the SJW virtue signalling in the new Jurassic World. There will no longer be a lesbo reveal scene. They claim it's due to time restraints but I'm calling bullshit. They don't want to go far, far the way of Soylo.

I think it is their way of having the character have struggles. If you are brilliant and solve every case, what's the motivation as a character.
When you think about it, Magnum in Magnum PI was a Mary Sue living the perfect life.

OMG, Murder on the Orient Express was TERRRRRIBLE.
And yeah, they ripped off OTHER detectives to give him Monk's OCD, which itself was derived from Sherlock's assholery and single-minded focus.
It all goes back to Sherlock, the idea that someone with a profound gift must have some kind of limitation to balance it. I don't mind that schtick, given that it's a classic, but I do mind it when they give Hercule Poirot Monk's affliction.
Hercule Poirot's affliction was simply that he was a comical figure and vain -- that's it. He wasn't dysfunctional.

And I continue to knit scarves for the St. Vincent de Paul Society. I want them to sell them in their tiny food bank, just for a couple of dollars, cheap enough for people to buy them for Christmas presents or for themselves, but not free because that encourages bad behavior.
I've started Stephen King's latest (I know) and I fear it's going to be quite reminiscent of "It." And then I'm going to read a true crime my sister told me about because it freaked her out and we have drastically different taste when it comes to books. It's called "A Death in White Bear Lake."

Are you packing a gun? We were up in Glacier NP year before last. 2 Forest Service guys went out mt. biking the day before we got to East Glacier; one came back. The brownies are for real. I recommend a short barrel shot gun, w/alternating loads of slugs and shot.
We did the hike up to Grinell Glacier, and it was interesting to see an NPS Park Ranger w/his bear spray out of the carrier. This was in broad daylight, above tree line, on a fairly crowded trail.

One thing that bugs me about these and so many other detective/crime shows these days is that they feel the need to give the protagonist a mental illness every time. Holmes is a sociopath or on the autism spectrum. ...
Why can't these people just be eccentric instead of having to have a clinical diagnosis?
Posted by: Ersatz at June 20, 2018 06:27 PM (44PTs)
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had Sherlock Holmes struggle with cocaine addition after it was discovered to be dangerous. (Yes, in late Victorian Europe, the Peruvian marching powder was initially thought to be a "harmless" stimulant). Holmes has some unpleasant personality traits and I heard an interesting talk by a professional actor a while back about why actors playing Sherlock Holmes grow to dislike the character: they don't have Dr. Watson to act as a filter, unlike the audience/reader.

Also pecans are high in fat because very oily, and work great for fiber and cleaning you out to make you regular.
The pecan is an underatted nut.

I was watching something on that too, and wondered the same thing. The historian said if you caught the King's eye, you pretty much had no say in the matter. You did not want to tick him off, not only bcz he'd be mad at you, but at your family too, and could make everyone miserable. Supposedly he was very charming.
Then there's the whole "being queen" and you'll be the wife that sticks...that'll change him. Also, you are the one that can deliver him his son, then you'll be safe.
Different historians have different theories. One thing is for sure, they all seem to disagree about Anne, in one way or another.

I'm working on my first novel. Draft 1 is finished -- that was a big hurdle, because I proved to myself I could do it. Working on Draft 2 now and my Internal Critic will. Not. Shut. Up. You know, "you SUCK. Your story SUCKS. Your writing SUCKS. You should GIVE UP." Etc., ad infinitum.
I managed to ignore him enough to finish Draft 1, but now that I'm trying to read my own work with a critical eye in order to fix it and polish it up for presentation, he's slowing me down.
Any of you writers here have any advice? Tricks? Edifying reading or anything?

I was helping mom in her garden a few years ago and a hummingbird buzzed my head and slowed down for an instant right next to my ear. I caught the shimmer out of the corner of my eye and felt/heard the wingbeats.
My brain put its hand on my shoulder and said "son, I classify this as the world's largest wasp. It has decided that today, you die. I'll take over from here" and launched me headfirst at about warp five into a pile of pulled weeds. Awkward!

Once I was out walking and got dive-bombed by a butterfly. It must have hit a funny air current or something because all of a sudden it was heading straight towards my face. I instinctively ducked.

I enjoyed the first Downey Sherlock Holmes, the second, not so much. The interplay between the two men, Holmes and Watson, was pretty good. Downey didn't follow my mental picture of Holmes but Jude Law (?) did a nice job with his Dr. Watson. The "real" Watson was a combat veteran and an amateur athlete, and definitely not a buffoon.

Hmmm...that sounds like it could be coming up from the footer the way it did with my first house, but you should be seeing it more often unless this was a truly historic rainfall. In my first house, every darn time it rained hard there were puddles on the floor.
You might want to just check around outside and see if there's anything with how the ground slopes or the drainage pipes discharge that could be improved. I'd hold off on trenching the basement and putting in a sump pump until you see if this happens again. That's a really expensive fix that might not be justified.
If you're worried the puddle would spread and harm something down there if it happens again, you could look into creating a small dam with a line of sandbags or one of those flexible absorbent tubes of stuff they use to absorb or "fence" off hazmat spills. You could probably make your own if you had to with clumping cat litter in fabric tubes. That way while you're watchfully waiting to see if the problem reappears, you've also got a fallback to protect if it does.
That's a frustrating situation. Hang in there and best of luck!

Technically, heart attack. But I got to ride in two ambulances which was way cool and it seemed like half my town showed up to see me off on the first one. Which was very nice of them.
And I got to watch them stick a stent in one of my heart arteries which was pretty freaky. And I'm pretty sure one of my nurses had a crush on me. Or me on her. One of the two.
All in all it was a busy couple days.

Buddy of mine had a wife that got a lot of headaches when he was in the mood to play. This went on for a while. One night he decided to be proactive and rather than seek her affection he took her 3 aspirin. She gives him a puzzled look and asked what he was doing. He explained they were for her headache. She got a little huffy and said she didn't have a headache.
It worked, but only one time.

Pro Tip, don't link your bank account to your cell phone nor install the online banking app.
Probably means I'll have to call someone and try to convince them that I am the owner of the account even though I can't remember the passwords, security questions and my father's middle name.

Guns with stories are the best. I have a beautiful 1950 vintage Tula Armory SKS. It has 5 X's punched in the stock, and the Cyrillic serial augmented with a Latin-alphabet serial, done by hand. Some nasty little Korean bastard got five Americans with that thing, and then some marine gave him his comeuppance.

Ehh. It could be worse. It's slicker looking, obviously. Looks like the remake of Hawaii Five-0.
I haven't watched that one either except for a clip or two maybe. Same look though.
I wasn't a huge fan of the original Magnum largely because I was a teenager and wasn't around much when it originally aired. Still though I've seen plenty of episodes and it is a classic show. The humor balanced with some pretty dark material occasionally worked really well. The episodes with Ivan and when they go back to Vietnam are extraordinarily well done, very dark, and they stay with you after you watch them.
I preferred Magnum's television ancestor Jim Rockford. Magnum was essentially The Rockford Files in Hawaii.
Selleck even did a couple of Rockford episodes where he played a goody two shoes private dick named Lance White. They're memorable because they're hilarious.

It also showed a lot of the common culture of people who never stepped foot on a planet which was pretty neat. Plus Miller was way more interesting than Holden.

I imagine I could request the police report, but that would be from the 1970's, so maybe not so easy. But his military records including muster rolls are available online, which is a hoot. He often got busted to bread and water for drinking on guard duty. He didn't get in trouble in action, however, and was highly decorated in WWI. He never talked about any of it, however, and we didn't know the whole mess until we researched it.

I did get an Asus router that was really easy to flash and put ddwrt on and it quickly became my new favorite. Time will tell, though.

Just got back from cemetery putting new flowers on my son's grave. Kind of puts things in perspective for me. (Unfortunately.)

That was me a couple weeks ago. I wear the same dozen pairs of socks, yet I had at least a couple hundred floating around. Where they all came from, I dunno.

It's really not that bad. I enjoyed Tampa quite a bit.
But it was funny when I was there that it was much harder to get tickets to the Yankees spring training games than to the Devil Rays regular season games. I think on the whole more of the transplants tend to come from the midwest while east coaster tend to go to the Miami, Ft Lauderdale area.
If I was going to move to FL the Tampa area would definitely be at the top of the list. Fun place with lots to do.

Five years ago this August, we moved from Connecticut back to our home state of Missouri. I don't regret one second. Ok, there's the MIL who can be a PITA but other than that....saved tons o'money.

Me: Go outside. It's coming out.
Kid 1: No, like, it needs to be closer.
Kid 2: We need a giantest ladder ever!
Kid 1: let's go draw a picture so Mommy knows what it looks like and then she can buy it on Amazon.
Kid 2: it needs to be pink!
Kid 1: moon ladders aren't pink! They're white, like the moon!
... and they are still trying to draw a picture of a ladder, but have agreed it should be rainbow colored...

On permanent vacation (retired), so life is always wunnerful.
My current pastime is searching out and capturing the titles of books that were reviewed in the old Common Reader catalogue - how I miss it! If only James Mustich would launch a monthly review magazine, every reading person in America would subscribe.
I hope you have a wonderful evening!

Very late to the party, but I just got a copy of Two Kinds and glad to know it's good.
Violated my no TV rule and started watching "Bosch" on Amazon, pretty well done, but the guy doesn't look like Bosch to me!

Thanks for sharing that story...kids are the best. You are probably gone but I was sorta wondering if one was a boy and one was a girl bcz of the pink ladder.
They sound adorable. It was nice not to break it to them that there is not a ladder that will reach the moon...not even on Amazon.

Mildly pissed today, I went over to the shop to grab the Toy there is a small green puddle under the front of the engine.
Appears to be a bad water pump. Wanted to show it this weekend, I WILL if I can find a pump for it.

I don't watch soccer. If I wanted to watch somebody struggle to score for 90 minutes, I'd take my friends out to the bar.

As for parts... I don't know yet. I suspect there will be a lot of eBay, some Home Depot and some local metal shop sourcing. My partner in this endeavor can weld, which should help keep costs down.
Small routers are easy. Routers big enough for plywood and good accuracy are not cheap.

My only news is waiting for first grandbaby to be arrive (to train to be my mini-me to irritate his parents)...and one of my pierced ears keeps closing up, which is weird.
Other than that exciting news, busy with gardening, etc. and recovering from a yuge baby shower tea I hosted a week ago. Who knew you could kill your feets cooking French pastries on hardwood floor. I am gettin' olde. xoxo
