Posted by: not a doomer nor a boomer
Sorry, wrong.
Federal law places responsibility for disaster response first with the individiual, who as an American is always responsible for his family first.
Then resposibility is with the town, then the city, then the county, then the state, then with the multi-state compacts that the law creates.
Then, and only then, is FEMA involved.
Posted by: Sharkman
Also, because a massive federal army of 1000000 people and 10000 trucks full of water, food, blankets and medicine has not arrived in Georgia FOUR FUCKING DAYS after a Cat 4 Hurricane nobody even knew about 8 days ago, does not mean that Georgians are considered "garbage people" to be left to rot by the Country.

So, Kangaroos in New Jersey. I can understand all of the states that just flat out say no Kangaroos. That's simple.
But there is a New Jersey Kangaroo Permit. They had to write regulations for that. There must be a department with the authority to grant Kangaroo Permits.
How? Are they stricter or more lenient than the Ohio Kangaroo Permitting Office?
Is there rivalry between and among the various Kangaroo Permitting Offices of Texas, Nevada, and Maine?

It's like instructions on windshield sunscreens not to drive with the sunscreen in place.
If I were Imperator Mundi, I'd replace those instructions with ones that suggested that if you think driving with the sunscreen in place is a good idea, you should do so while driving down a winding mountain road.

Yeah ... the courts are the real problem, here. Judges don't exercise any common sense and let juries go hog-wild (which juries will do if given the chance ... and juries just LOVE to give away other people's money, especially corporate or rich people's cash) and then those awards are held up in higher courts and the lawyers who brought the shit cases are never reprimanded. Hell, they make a mint!
The McDonald's coffee case, where the old bitty held a styrofoam cup of piping hot coffee in between her legs in a car while she took the cap off (smart ... it's amazing that chick made it that far through life) while her son was driving and ... surprise! ... it spilled on her lap. WHo woulda thunk it?? That sort of shit should get lawyers censured, disbarred .. whatever, and the judge who initially allowed that case to proceed and arrive at a ridiculous judgment should have been tossed off the bench.
But that's why we have this crap. The legislators are just getting in on the act but it's the courts - and juries, especially - that are really responsible for this bullshit.

Alberta uses the Township and Range system for land measurement, as do other Provinces, and many States, too. A township is six miles square. In Alberta, township roads run E-W, and are normally on a 2-mile spacing. Range roads run N-S, and are normally on a one-mile spacing.

I'm going to go off on a tangent and I apologize if it's not as noteworthy as the prevalence of Perrier in the Piedmont.
A few years ago the Navy was going to leave Johnston Atoll and a friend of mine in the Navy spook world asked for a thought experiment about what could and should be done with it.
I think it's Johnston, I'm talking about. If I'm mistaken then what I'm saying is quite true about another atoll.
I had to look it up, research its history. It turned out to have been a major source of guano.
Japan did the guano mining, but not the Japanese. They would go to Peru and nab a bunch of slaves then bring them out to the atoll to mine the guano.
Sometimes they brought the slaves back to Peru when they were done.
I never did come up with a good use for it.

I was going through the CA sample ballot last night.
Every proposition that began "Authorizes bonds ..." was right out. I don't care if it's authorizing bonds to give me $10 million dollars. No dice.
After that, frankly, I don't bother with candidates' statements or summaries of propositions. I look at the endorsements. Endorsed by the Sierra Club, Working Mothers for Peace, Justice, and Equality, etc.? Nein, danke.
I discount positive endorsements entirely (e.g., the rare "vote for X, he's a fiscal conservative"), because the endorser could be mistaken or suborned. I look for the negative (for me) endorsements, the logic being that the Reds in particular will have studied every candidate and issue in excruciating detail, and if this is their guy/gal, or their preferred policy, then I'm against it.
Saves a LOT of time.

Guano is fertilizer. Very rich in nitrates. You could also extract
the nitrates to make explosives. Before the processes to "fix" nitrogen
from the atmosphere were invented, natural sources of nitrates were of
great economic and strategic importance.

It is also a source of KNO3, aka saltpeter, used in saltpeter. It's was also reputed to be an anti-aphrodisiac. The Japanese may have overdone it on that one.

My father was in the Marine Corps' Test Unit (IIRC) in the mid-50s when they exploded small atomic bombs in Nevada in proximity to Marines - my father being one of them - in trenches, while trying to determine how best to integrate infantry with tactical nuclear weapons (IIRC).
My father had to have his thyroid removed a year later after he developed thyroid cancer. So you might not want to be too close to a detonation.
(He was also involved in Test Unit studies on the best use of helicopters in combat, where the concept of "vertical envelopment" was developed.)

Posted by: Northernlurker lurkier than ever at October 14, 2018 03:21 PM (eAMlh)
Well . . . Economic justice means that the state takes your money away because you don't deserve it. Social justice means they take away your right to speak or express yourself away because you can't be trusted to say the right things. Racial justice means that these same rights are taken away from you based on your skin color or religion because you will otherwise be a bigot and racist.
I suppose environmental justice means you have your property taken and you are prevented from ever visiting areas because you will harm it.

Every proposition that began "Authorizes bonds ..." was right out. I
don't care if it's authorizing bonds to give me $10 million dollars. No
dice.
After that, frankly, I don't bother with candidates' statements or
summaries of propositions. I look at the endorsements. Endorsed by the
Sierra Club, Working Mothers for Peace, Justice, and Equality, etc.?
Nein, danke.
I discount positive endorsements entirely (e.g., the rare "vote for
X, he's a fiscal conservative"), because the endorser could be mistaken
or suborned. I look for the negative (for me) endorsements, the logic
being that the Reds in particular will have studied every candidate and
issue in excruciating detail, and if this is their guy/gal, or their
preferred policy, then I'm against it.
Saves a LOT of time.

Really.
And none of those ads make sense, anyway. They're all for prescription drugs that you can't buy, to begin with, and that your doctor is supposed to know a hell of a lot more about than you and only prescribe them if needed. And the doctor's job is to warn you of side effects and to ask you what else you are taking and decide whether it's a problem.
I really can't understand why prescription drugs are allowed to advertise to non-doctors, at all (other than the boatloads of cash floating around in all that, of course). The public cannot, by law, buy any of these drugs and is assumed not to know jackshit about them - because they aren't doctors, who get paid the big bucks for that stuff.

Most useful lesson from Life or Brian for me: the scene where the man is being stoned for blasphemy. Cleese tells him to stop blaspheming because he's "only making it worse for himself" despite the fact he's already been sentenced to death.
This is like the cucks today who say, "we must compromise with the Democrats or we're only making it worse for ourselves if they ever retake the house, senate, presidency, etc. We must capitulate to leftists on a local level or we will only be setting a precedent by which they can discriminate against conservatives".
Of course this is just as nonsensical as Cleese's threat. The Left will always try its best destroy us and behave in the exact same manner, no matter how conservatives behave, so leftist reactions should never be a consideration.
Hence the condemned man's response. "Worse?! How could it get any worse?? Jehovah! Jehovah! Jehovah!"

Part of the problem is increasing specialization.

Yeah, Doctors only know about drugs from the pharma sales people. I mean, I'm sure some MD's spend their spare time reading up on all the new drugs in the country, but most of them are probably not in the mood to do drug research after a long days work.
So people come in and say "I saw this ad on TV, can I get that drug?" The doctor googles the drug, says "sure, sounds good."
Doesn't give you a lot of faith in the medical world, to be honest, but that is the reality of it as far as I can tell.

Clearly, but if certain drugs are considered so dangerous or powerful that they can only be bought by prescription then they shouldn't be allowed to advertise to the general public. We already have enough problems with idiots pressing doctors to give them antibiotics for viruses (and doctors acquiescing for whatever reason).

Apparently this is a thing in Olde Alexandria, which is known far and wide for really doing up Halloween right. The residents hesitantly complain that they are shelling out hundreds of dollars for candy for the visitors. When I hit the town one Hallows Eve I saw buses and vans unloading bratlings who were, uh, not from the neighborhood.
Granted, when I was a kid Mom drove us into the suburbs, but our home was at the end of a long country road with only a few houses (those were for silly-stringin' and t.p.ing, not candy-mooching).

This. I'm reflexively opposed to practically ANY bond issue, because I'm convinced the state will merely piss the money away. Building housing for the homeless (at $300 K a pop)? Sure, that'll keep the homeless from coming here.
And, to be clear, I'm not interested in establishing a college fund for sea lions or whatever other nonsense they in mind. (Joking, but the CA state tax form asks if you want to contribute to the sea lion fund. I sent them some sardines, because I'm a giver.)
But does any CA voter with a clue think their vote has an impact apart from possibly small local issues? Maybe the gas tax repeal passes.

This one pisses me off a lot. My ex's idiot dad was famous for this. Every time he had a cold, he went to the emergency clinic and wouldn't live until they have him antibiotics.
I explained to him like 10 times that antibiotics will do absolutely nothing if what he has is viral, which it most likely was since he didn't test positive for anything bacterial, AND overusing antibiotics in general shortens the life span of those drugs because bacteria can evolve to be resistance to anti biotics over time.
So we really should use them judiciously as a society and, you know, as individuals.
But I always wonder why the doctors keep giving him antibiotics... like why not just say "no, they'll be ineffective. Go drink some water and lay in bed for a day or two, you'll be fine."

I live in Texas now, pretty sure I can get fuse here with no issues. We used to buy it in 100 foot lengths.

Everything you say is correct, but I refuse to accept the notion of a nanny-state being better than any of the alternatives.

That's how it's been here for 20 years. We are the first neighborhood as you get to town. Vans, cars creeping through the neighborhood as kids go door-to-door.
The city used to shut the neighborhood off to traffic, for a time, years ago. It was much better then.

When I lived in a city a few years back, that was the deal. Parents would drive in kids from the poorer areas to my area.
I didn't really mind, to be honest. At least the parents are spending time with their kids.
And the more candy the kids take, the less left over candy I have to eat.

Just checked, you can order it on Amazon. $7.00 for 20 foot.

That's frankly how we're leaning too, especially with the idiocy growing apace in CA. Rent control, repeal (either legislative or effective) of Prop. 13, things like that will kick the value of real estate in the balls.
OTOH, there is a certain emotional attachment (in my case, as a California boy), and I'm working hard to accept severing all connection whatever to my beloved California.
We're still hoping against hope for a road to Damascus conversion by the electorate here. (Yeah, I know.) Miracles can happen, though. Two years ago we were resigned to Hillarhoid putting paid to the American dream, and yet here we are.
But California is not America. It's only part of America in a purely geographic sense.

What I never understood was how a drug company could be sued (and lose) for a drug that passed everything the FDA required of it. The whole point of having the FDA make such stringent requirements for drugs before they are approved is to take away the company's power and responsibility for those issues.
But that goes back to the issue of frivolous suits, inept judges, and award-happy juries. This was the case with all the tobacco cases. People have known about all they risks of tobacco for CENTURIES, but, all of a sudden, a few idiots found that they could steal a hundred million here and there over an issue that NO ONE had any right to claim they were ever ignorant about - and if they were then it was their parents' fault, not the cigarette companies'.

go to Ace's Amazon link, search for "cannon fuse"
you're welcome.

thermite, anyone?

I really can't understand why prescription drugs are allowed to advertise to non-doctors, at all (other than the boatloads of cash floating around in all that, of course). The public cannot, by law, buy any of these drugs and is assumed not to know jackshit about them - because they aren't doctors, who get paid the big bucks for that stuff.

If I was ever elected Literally Hitler, the first thing I'd do is ban all ads for Pharmaceuticals AND ads for lawyers and legal services. "You may be entitled to compensation...."
Both types have wreaked havoc on our civic culture. You feel sick? Go to the doctors. You need a lawyer? Call one.

Did you see the $289 million award to a guy who's dying of some cancer (I've forgotten what) after using Roundup?
Now looking at the structure of Roundup, I don't see anything that looks like a carcinogen. But, nothing daunted, the ambulance chasers sue away.
At a local city council meeting a gal stood up and advocated banning Roundup, citing as her qualifications that she'd "worked in a lab." Oh. She neglected to mention in what capacity she had done so. Washing glassware or making up buffer solutions doesn't count.

Back in the day, we invented and developed a drug-eluting stent to prevent restenosis. The top brass nixed it when the silicone breast implant nonsense started, and the word came down: no implants. Not of anything, not cardiac stents, nothing.
Btw, this is also why until recently early drug trials were preferably conducted on men. Pace the feminists, who viewed this as a nefarious male plot (isn't everything, in their view?), the reason was that if a woman had the drug, then later gave birth to a child with a problem, she'd be howling about how the drug had caused the problem. (See, e.g., Jenny McCarthy.) The jury would be blubbing along with her, and adding zeroes to the award.
THAT'S why pharma was reluctant to include women in trials.

However I am beginning to wonder if the FNM is slanting polls to keep the sweet sweet money for ads against the idiot proposal flowing. Tons of ads against it, with vote no statements from lots of Dem party folks. I'd think by now everyone would have been well convinced how stupid the proposal is but the ads are still running full force.
