Sunday Overnight Open Thread (1/13/19)
Quote I
"I don't want to see a declaration of national emergency. I think that's an action that would be taken in the most extreme circumstances, and, hopefully, we don't reach that." Sen. Mitt Romney (RINO-UT)
Quote II
“If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them … ‘Mr. and Mrs. America, turn ’em all in,’ I would have done it.” Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA)
Quote III
"There's a negative impact on the environment with these receipts and the inability to recycle them," Assemblyman Phil Ting, (D-San Francisco)
Germany is rolling out a ‘counselling service’ to combat the surge of Islamist indoctrination across the country. The taxpayer-funded service “will mainly target Turkish and Arabic-speaking families” where children may be “flirting with extremism,” German newspapers report. The programs comes at a time when Chancellor Angela Merkel is allocating huge sums of public money in hopes of preventing the country’s growing Muslim population from becoming more radicalized. According to the German state broadcaster MDR, the government spent nearly €100 million on Islamist ‘de-radicalization’ programs in 2018. “Nobody knows if the money is put to meaningful use,” the broadcaster noted.
Do you like being alone at times? Do you like driving off by yourself on occasion? Well so much for being by yourself in your car.
This week at CES, the international consumer electronics show in Las Vegas, a host of startup companies will demonstrate to global automakers how the sensor technology that watches and analyzes drivers, passengers and objects in cars will mean enhanced safety in the short-term, and revenue opportunities in the future. Whether by generating alerts about drowsiness, unfastened seat belts or wallets left in the backseat, the emerging technology aims not only to cut back on distracted driving and other undesirable behavior, but eventually help automakers and ride-hailing companies make money from data generated inside the vehicle
Well, well, well. This is a surprise. Southern Poverty Law Center is distancing itself from the Women's March. No pink pussy hats for them.
The Southern Poverty Law Center will not partner with the Women’s March this year, The Daily Beast has confirmed. Jen Fuson, a spokeswoman for the SPLC, said “other projects were a priority,” but added they would continue to be involved in marches at the local level in areas where they have offices.
She burnt bridges at Fox. Looks like NBC bridges are aflame to. Now that she is out at NBC where does Mygyn Kelly go?
Megyn Kelly is officially done with NBC after months of negotiating, the network announced Friday night. “The parties have resolved their differences, and Megyn Kelly is no longer an employee of NBC,” an NBC News statement said. Kelly was roughly halfway through a three-year deal for a whopping total of $69 million.
Another Democrat to run for POTUS. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) is expected to be the 197th candidate to run.
But she’s burnt some bridges too, like some of the other candidates. That’s 4 if you count Warren as officially in – Warren, Gillibrand, Castro and Gabbard. It’s going to be a lot before we’re through. Via Buzzfeed: New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand on Saturday signaled to group of about 20 influential women that she will run for president, according to a person familiar with the meeting. Gillibrand made her intentions clear, said the source, who asked not to be identified to speak about the event. Gillibrand said that she needed their help if they would offer it to her. The closed-door gathering was attended by the feminist Gloria Steinem, the source said. A second source reached by BuzzFeed News confirmed the meeting took place but would not elaborate on what was said.What will her campaign slogan be? I have a vagina vote for me?
Boo-hoo. Newly elected congress critters don't get plum committee positions.
‘Heartbreak’ on Capitol Hill: Ocasio- Cortez has been in Congress for one whole week… so of course she thought she was entitled to sit on a powerful committee where she could push her pipe dreams of free…everything! Because remember: facts don’t matter… when you’re morally right. Or something. And poor Rashida, who somehow confused having a big mouth with being an influential leader.
Author of "Dracula" Bram Stoker was quite the fan of Walt Whitman.
“How sweet a thing it is for a strong healthy man with a woman’s eye and a child’s wishes to feel that he can speak to a man who can be if he wishes father, and brother and wife to his soul.” A quarter century before his now-classic epistolary novel Dracula catapulted Abraham “Bram” Stoker (November 8, 1847–April 20, 1912) into literary celebrity, the twenty-four-year-old aspiring author used the epistolary form for a masterpiece of a different order. Still months away from his first published short story, he composed a stunning letter of admiration and adoration to his great literary idol: Walt Whitman (May 31, 1819–March 26, 1892).
Before going forward with that degree in chemistry. Take Cooking 101.
But can a lack of cooking knowledge and skills hinder development in other areas? A new experiment at the Imperial College London seems to suggest such is the case. The school has created a course, “Introduction to Culinary Practice,” and is requiring its first-year chemistry students to take it. Such a move is being made because instructors want their students learning to follow written instructions, be accurate and consistent, maintain a clean work environment, and receive “constructive criticism.” Summarizing these intentions, Guardian columnist Rhik Samadder notes: The idea behind this course is that the practical skills required by cooking will be invaluable to a new generation of scientists. And I believe that’s true. …

We got to the hospital while Mr. E was still in the emergency room, about 1330 Central. I took care of the paperwork, having gathered his meds and grabbed his wallet (with his insurance info). Not too long after that, the ER doc came in and questioned us about what had happened. He couldn't remember anything, and I didn't see it. They'd already taken X-rays and done a CAT scan of his head, finding nothing like blood clots or broken bones. But he was severely dehydrated to the point of confusion and being barely able to speak -- not very coherently, at that. BP was also up, since he hadn't taken (been able to take?) his morning meds. There was something I didn't understand about muscle deterioration from being in one position too long, as well. Also a possible infection and strain or sprain of his right arm.
So they're going to keep him in the hospital for at least two days, then a possibility of some time in rehab.
So not as bad as I feared when I first found him (was sure, with the incoherent speech and weakness, that it was a stroke). Not that the other problems aren't bad, but less bad than I'd feared.
This is the hospital where I spent last Christmas with dehydration and a UTI, so I'm confident he'll get good treatment from a truly excellent staff -- though the food there leaves a lot to be desired!

Honey has never been around men much, so I'll be taking her down to the pen to exercise (leash-broken, thank God) and giving her treats and dinner. We had her loose in the house; she relaxed and slept on a cushion on the floor.
Thanks to the National Borzoi Rescue Foundation for bringing this sweetie to our attention and for giving us the opportunity to give Honey her forever home.

This morning I was in Evanston, near the Northwestern University campus. It would have been a great day to shoot Christmas card pictures because the sun was out, there was fresh snow everywhere and lots of elegant brick buildings, landscaping, etc. covered with it. Some houses still had Christmas wreaths and other decorations up. I know that area is really pricey and very much a liberal college town but on a day like today I could see why people want to live there....

Craig Ferguson had a great bit about massages and happy endings. Basically,
"Every guy going for a massage knows it's not going to happen.... but it *might*
He gets in there knowing it's not going to happen.... but it *might*........."
He continues in this vein for a while, and ends with
"that's why guys always look a little disappointed after a massage.."
I think the special this is from is on Netflix.

Once, in industry, I had a bunch of my direct reports - who were making > $100 K/ yr - bitching to high heaven that their Christmas bonuses were going to be paid two weeks late. Even at that salary, they were living hand-to-mouth, and were counting on their bonuses.*
*Never mind that if you're depending on getting a "bonus," it isn't really a bonus.

Yeah, it's one of those phrases (not just words, like 'literally') that has generally come to mean something exactly the opposite of the phrase as written. It's basically the equivalent of "While you may be stuffed to the earlobes with ordure, I am far too cultured to notice".
Perhaps there's a word for this that can show up in next weekend's book thread, which I generally read but never have time on which to comment.

While I'm no admirer of FDR, it has been reported that he would listen thoughtfully to the sundry people passing through his office, nodding his head as they spoke.

Progressive California and Oregon have already banned asking a job applicant's salary history (the theory apparently is that women and minorities are worse at negotiating salary than evil white males, so you can level the playing field by suppressing all salary history data).
And, of course, you shouldn't ask about criminal history unless it is "relevant to the job" (hint: the fact that the job applicant was convicted for strangling his girlfriend is not "relevant", unless he did it at work).
But there is a new frontier - you are no longer supposed to ask the applicant for their educational background. (The blogger does admit that if you are hiring a lawyer or other regulated professional, you might ask for evidence of a law or other appropriate professional degree - but otherwise, no.) Evaluating people, in part, on their educational background, is bad and discriminatory, and should be banned.
I think the theory is that people should be hired purely on the basis of how many intersectionality points they have (straight white males at the end of the line, of course). The more information you can suppress about job candidates, the easier it is to simply rely on skin color, gender, sexual orientation, etc., to determine who gets hired.

With the New Year, Oregon now has a "pay parity" law, where you can't discriminate in pay against about a dozen protected classes. You need to do a "pay equity analysis" to demonstrate this "equity" at least once every three years, or you can get sued for punitive damages.
There is **no lower limit** to this law - if your firm hires two people, you are subject to it.
The local paper cheerily noted that since governmental agencies and the local electric utility can comply with the new law, it obviously won't be a problem for smaller firms.
Meanwhile, Portland millennials whine that local firms only want to temporarily hire contractors and consultants - they don't want to hire new permanent employees.
I wonder why.

The Brits have a thousand of such expressions, which naive Americans take at face value until they wise up. A friend was exhorted by a Brit, "Oh, X, do feel free to use [some facility he'd already used]."
I had to explain to him that the point of that statement wasn't its superficial meaning, but rather that someone considered his use of the facility to be worthy of comment, an observation that he should ponder, namely, that they were pissed off that he'd used it.
It's very much like dealing with the Japanese in that respect.

Merkely's campaign may be stillborn - his Senate term is expiring in 2020, and Oregon law prohibits him from running for the Presidency and the Senate simultaneously.
He sniffed around the state legislature to see if he could get the law changed, and they said "no dice".
Not even Merkley is delusional enough to give up his Senate seat to go for the Presidency.

we have had hulu forever but never use it. we have the $5.99 monthly service. decided to sign up for their free live tv offer to see if it is any good. to get the trial offer they require me to change to their $7.99 monthly service, which is the same as the service we have but commercial free. should I cancel the trial we have to keep the higher rate.
so, rather than let me try the new service for free, which every non-hulu person in the universe could do they decided to screw me over and remind me that we do not use what we are already getting billed for.
fuck hulu, canceled them.

Nothing to be ashamed of in that loss. When the QB puts the ball right between both hands of the receiver he's paid big bucks to hold onto it. Look at the extremes New Orleans had to go to to get back in the game; multiple 4th down plays, fake punt, etc.

Of course, if I had the app, then the car would break down. Although, some may argue that having the app means the car won't break down.

Not just go away, but absolutely no reporting. It's interesting that she probably received death threats -- because it seems everyone gets death threats in this day and age -- but there's no reports of her going into hiding or any death threats.
A good question is why?
Perhaps they don't want to discourage in any way the next person from inventing some memories and grabbing the national stage and derailing a Supreme Court nomination.

Me 262 A1-a/U3 FE4012. Named "Pick II" by its Watson's Whizzers pilot. The Flying Heritage Collection has bought it from Planes of Fame and is restoring it to flight worthy status with plans to use the original Jumo 004B engines.
Good luck with that. Tendency to overheat and catch fire on the ground. Slow throttle response. Maybe 25 hours per engine. And only the port engine has a hydraulic pump.
