Sunday Overnight Open Thread (10/13/19)
Quote I
“Don’t imagine that the child knows his or her future identity at age three, or ten, for that matter,” “Flash-freezing a child’s development through the introduction of drugs — pre-puberty, on and so on — seems to me, should be recognizably, not just wrong, but horrific.” Camille Paglia
Quote II
He’s got some responsibility, but not all. Right and wrong is wrong, that was wrong for that clerk to shoot my brother in the chest. Yes, he’s robbing them. Oh, well! Call the police, that’s what you’re supposed to do. You’re not supposed to take matters into your own hands.Sister of a Genius Award Winner. H/T Bitter Clinger
Quote III
“This is not decay. This is organized destruction. Secularists and their allies have marshaled all the forces of mass communication, popular culture, the entertainment industry, and academia in an unremitting assault on religion & traditional values.” Attorney General William Barr
Quote IV
This is why the NBA, in the person of its severely alien-looking head honcho Adam Silver—who looks like Jiminy Cricket had sex with an AIDS-infected bagel, and they had a baby—recently bowed and apologized to China. Taki's Magazine
Quote V
“I think a lot of Americans see the $50,000 a month Hunter Biden was making and it doesn’t pass the smell test. I think most people do think there is corruption involved with Hunter Biden. I hope we do get to the bottom of that.”Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)
It appears that social media will be around for quite some time. Parents and teachers ought to teach their youngsters participating on social media has consequences. Sometimes it is just best to keep your mouth shut and your fingers off a keyboard.
The girl who created a viral TikTok video exposing how Panera makes its mac and cheese is going viral again–this time for tweeting that she lost her job because of it. “I lost my job for this video,” Twitter user @BriiRamirezz, who goes by @briannaraelenee on TikTok, responded to @UberFacts tweet of the clip.
It looks like Face Time, Skype and Webinars are about to become very popular in Sweden.
FLIGHT-SHAMING CATCHING ON IN EUROPE
There are a number of things that climate activists don’t want the rest of us to do, like eating meat and flying on airplanes. They seem to have decided that discouraging flying is a better bet than compulsory vegetarianism, so several European countries are moving in that direction. In Sweden, the government “is considering making it mandatory for travel companies to declare the climate impact of their long-haul trips.” The companies should inform customers of the climate impact of long-haul trips when advertising or selling tickets, the government said on Friday.
professor at the University of Washington wrote an academic article denouncing SpongeBob Squarepants as “violent,” “racist,” and “insidious.” Yes, really. Professor Holly Barker’s tirade against the yellow cartoon character was published by an academic journal called The Contemporary Pacific: A Journal of Island Affairs. In it, Barker argues that the show’s fictional location of Bikini Bottom is unfair because it is based on the nonfictional Bikini Atoll, a coral reef in the Marshall Islands used by the U.S. military for nuclear testing during the Cold War. “The indigenous people of the area were relocated during the testing, which eventually rendered the area uninhabitable due to residual radiation,” writes Celine Ryan. “Barker finds it unjust that SpongeBob and his pals be allowed to “occupy” the area when the nonfictional indigenous people of the area do not have the option to return to their homeland.”
Taxpayers are employing this dingbat.
Cash money talks and digitizing walks straight into the court room.
In my world, the virtual hasn't quite taken over the physical. Tossing everything into a cloud doesn't necessarily engender quite the same sense of security and well-being as seeing, holding, and believing. Today's witness is Jemima Kelly. She's a writer for The Financial Times. Please don't let any personal thoughts about that get in the way of her story. You see, she just experienced a little technological nightmare. A cheery digital convert, she admits she often leaves the house without her wallet. But surely not without her iPhone. Apple Pay is, after all, a contemporary joy. It's right up there with Tinder in its ability to make your life easier. Kelly, indeed, hops on London buses and uses Apple Pay to tap her payment instead of buying a ticket the old-fashioned way. Which, as she cheerily described, is easy unless a ticket inspector wanders by. Just after your iPhone's battery has died. She couldn't prove that she'd paid, but gave her personal details and assumed there'd be a record of her probity on the transportation company's computers. But then she was charged with, well, not providing proof of payment. Charged as in would be forced to go to court and to plead guilty or not guilty within 21 days. A little draconian, you might think. Yes, the Brits look and act like nice people, but it's wise to remember that London seems to have more surveillance cameras than Amazon's Ring.
Should there be compulsory school attendance? The case against it.
We should always be leery of laws passed “for our own good,” as if the state knows better. The history of compulsory schooling statutes is rife with paternalism, triggered by anti-immigrant sentiments in the mid-nineteenth century and fueled by a desire to shape people into a standard mold. History books detailing the “common school movement” and the push for universal, compulsory schooling perpetuate the myths that Americans were illiterate prior to mass schooling, that there were limited education options available, and that mandating school attendance under a legal threat of force was the surest way toward equality.
BYOB if you are planning on attending the Schild und Schwert (Shield and Sword) Festival in the town of Ostritz, Saxony
Law enforcement officials and citizens united to empty a German town’s supply of beer ahead of a music festival planned for this past weekend, over concerns that alcohol could increase the risk of violence among neo-Nazi attendees expected to arrive. With the support of a court-imposed alcohol ban, police successfully confiscated over 1,162 gallons of beer. Around 600 people flocked to the Schild und Schwert (Shield and Sword) Festival in the town of Ostritz, Saxony, for the event that began on Friday, Newsweek reports. Locals, however, were prepared with a plan of their own.
Gullible much? Feds hit GirlsDoPorn owners with criminal sex trafficking charges
Federal prosecutors have charged three men and a woman with sex trafficking charges for operating the popular porn site GirlsDoPorn. At least 22 women featured on the site have sued the site's owners, charging that the pornographers used lies and coercion to gain their participation. The 22 women said they responded to ads for clothed modeling gigs. When they were asked to shoot porn instead, they initially resisted. But they went along with it after the company assured them that their videos would only be sold on DVD to customers outside the United States and would not be posted online. That turned out to be a lie, as their videos wound up on GirlsDoPorn, a website with plenty of American viewers.
"I was in a state of panic when I first found out," one of the alleged victims testified in court. "I couldn't believe it. I still can't believe it."
How easy is it for a middle aged white woman to buy fentanyl on the streets of San Francisco? Pretty damn easy, just ask Heather Macdonald.
Heather Mac Donald has written one of the most important essays on homelessness in recent memory for City Journal. In it, she argues that we’ve misunderstood the homelessness problem as a problem of poverty when it is, in reality, a problem of family breakdown and the erosion of social norms. While I don’t agree with all of what she’s written, I admire her fieldwork. She interviewed homeless people in San Francisco and even bought fentanyl, the synthetic opiate that resulted in over 17,000 drug overdose deaths in the United States last year, to investigate how easy it was. Such fieldwork is rarer than it should be among journalists and advocates alike. I thought her contribution to the growing debate over homelessness, particularly in California but nationally and globally as well, was so important, I requested a telephone interview for Quillette. It has been edited for length.
Any hope of working things out with the other side seem to fade further and further away.
A Democrat member of the Minnesota House of Representatives was among the far-left riffraff that harassed and intimidated Trump supporters as they left the Trump rally in Minneapolis Thursday night. Rep. Aisha Gomez (DFL) was seen consorting with a member of the antifa mob as he hurled profanities at Republicans as they drove by. Hundreds of leftists gathered outside of the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis to scream at Trump’s supporters and tell them to go home.Case II of things aren't going to turn out well.
Democrats like Hillary Clinton demonstrated this with her description of a good portion of Americans as “deplorables.” Soledad O’Brien, who used to work for CNN, Al Jazeera and who has a show for Hearst Television, has now picked up on that theme, encouraging a discussion of how not just that President Donald Trump is a “racist” but his supporters are also “trash.”
That's Mr. Trash to you, Bitch.
If you're a Californian, the days of travel-size shampoo, conditioner, and soap bottles seen in hotels are nearing an end. Come January 1, 2023, they'll be illegal. Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1162 on Wednesday, sunsetting the small toiletry containers that some say are a noxious waste of single-use plastics. Establishments with more than 50 rooms must comply by 2023, while those with less than 50 rooms have until January 1, 2024. A fine of $500 dollars will be assessed for the first violation and will increase to $2,000 for subsequent infractions. The law stipulates that a local agency may conduct inspections to ensure compliance.
How do 'well to do' white privileged kids save the environment? Pick up trash along the highway? No. Majoring in STEM do make a difference? No Crawling on the street? Sure, why not.
Victoria's Secret was always known for stunning models. Not so much anymore. At least Lena Dunham isn't modeling. Yet.
Victoria’s Secret has been desperately trying to cling to relevance in this era of mall closure around the world. It turns out that poorly-made, overpriced underwear isn’t all that attractive when it’s not next to the Orange Julius you’re going to stop at on your weekly shopping trip. One recent criticism of the brand is that all their models are attractive, which is bad now because we want inspiring stories about trans runway models with no legs protesting the war on drugs or whatever. So Victoria’s Secret has hired their first size 14 model, Ali Tate Carter.

A 5-year-old boy in Pennsylvania is using his birthday wish to ask for thousands of toys that he can donate to the children's hospital that helped save him from cancer. Weston Newsanger was treated at Penn State Children’s Hospital for rhabdomyosarcoma after his diagnosis in 2016. Now marking two-years cancer-free, Weston decided to do something special for his birthday. "I want to get Play-Doh and dinosaurs for the children of the hospital," he told his mom, Amy. Over the past several weeks his family collected over 1,200 containers of Play-Doh, over 1,000 dinosaurs and hundreds of other toys for the children.

Good evening, Horde, and Thanks MiShum (however that's pronounced) for another stellar ONT.
The SW Ohio MoMe was a blast - it's always fun to meet The Morons IRL.
Thanks to Ben Had and Bluebell, we had some amazing swag to raffle off, raising almost $150 for the ACS Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk (next Saturday)(and wehich becomes more ironic now):

MIL Update: The good news is that she's scheduled for ankle surgery (both were broken in the accident, the maximum number available).
/sigh
So the Trauma NP comes in today and says "M, when you got here we noticed a wound on/in your chest that we initially thought was accident-related. But it's acting strangely for that, have you had it a while?"
MIL: Yes, about a year.
(Oy)
Trauma NP: Did you discuss this with your doc?
MIL: No, it just didn't seem very important.
(Me looking at mrs ibguy: what's the name of that river in Egypt?)
Trauma NP: Well, we got your records and you had a mammogram last year that came back fine, but we did an ultra-sound on this and there's a high suspicion that it's breast cancer.
MIL: Oh.
(Me to mrs ibguy: oh, *sh*t*).
So they're going to do a biopsy tomorrow to confirm, but we're not optimistic.
Also: T (boyfriend) appears to be sliding. Yesterday and today his family has waved us off when we stopped by (he's about 6 doors away in the ICU).
ALL prayers welcome for Marilyn and Tom.

Wall of text alert!
Searching through old texts got me to wanting to dig this one up. A good, collaborative effort from the horde. This is Buzzion's collection of the various posts from the mid morning thread the next day:
210 From the Don Lemon thread last night I compiled the posts of several morons and put it into one and put it on the ONT. But in case anyone missed it I present to you MORONS ON PARADE!
Now passing the reviewing stand, I don't know these people. Anyone in the booth? The program says "Ace of Spades HQ Blog Kazoo and Harmonica Marching Mand", but they don't seem to be marching, and it isn't much of a formation. Can't tell what they are playing but you have to admire their enthusiasm, especially the kazoo section. They are playing their hearts out.
Are they really in the parade? or have they infiltrated the event? Anyone know.
Wait, here comes security now. It looks like the band is forming up into a symbol.. wait... ok, no, we can't show you that on camera. Security is trying to get control off... there is fire! There is fire coming from the bagpipe sections, look out.... oh the humanity people are on fire!
What? Fire eaters? Spitting flaming vodka? Seriously? The flames have driven security back. Now the have unfurled a pirate flag. Who are these people?
Wait, they are getting out crossbows and longbows, and are starting to skuffle amongst themselves.
I heard one of them yell "Shit just got real."
Wait, I just heard another one yell:
IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE THINGS WERE ALREADY GETTING OUT OF HAND!
"Some of them seem to have donned Confederate uniforms, while others are wearing Union blue."
One of them just shouted 'Messenger Bags are gayer than Crocs' for some reason.
Another just yelled in response:
"I saw Messenger Bags open for the Green Crocs at the Pink Flamingo in 1986!"
'All the while there's a lone, naked, fat man sitting on a White Ottoman to the very left of the stage.
Is his inclusion symbolic?
Your guess is as good as mine, Bill.'
Wait, standing next to the man on the ottoman is another man... is he dressed as a dildo?! Orange, with jagged brown stripes across the front? What the f*ck is that!?!
I got nothing, Bill.
"Wait now someone is walking around passing out pudding cups. And they're all opening them, but I don't see any spoons. What are they...
Oh, God no. Cut to commercial! Cut to commercial!"
Now... they are setting fire to a skull (what did they cover it with?) and another is dressed like a robot and he is humping the air!
It's a complete madhouse down here. We need to get the national guard down here!

The gas logs in the fireplace haven't been installed yet (Wednesday).

The actual truth is a lot stranger, and has a lot for the cops to unravel.
The apparent chronology is:
1) Antifa-dude and his two friends leave the Antifa bar at closing (midnight), and walk a couple of minutes away from the bar.
2) Antifa-dude gets hit and seriously injured by an SUV.
3) The dude's two Antifa friends pull out handguns, and start blasting away at the SUV.
4) The SUV crashes into the adjacent building (Oregon Democratic Party headquarters, ironically). The driver flees.
5) The two friends toss Antifa-dude into the back of a car, and drive to a hospital. The cops briefly detain the two friends, and then release them. The guy dies soon after getting to the hospital.
Despite having the SUV, the cops haven't been able to find the driver, who is probably on his way to California or Mexico by now.
It is still unknown whether there was any interaction between the Antifa people and the SUV driver prior to the incident, and whether the Antifa people opened fire prior to or after the SUV hit the guy. I'm sure they had valid Oregon Concealed Handgun Licenses. /s
The two "friends" possibly contributed to the guy's death - probably out of a desire to avoid contact with the authorities, they didn't call for an ambulance, but used their car to get to the hospital. Moving severe trauma cases when you don't know what you are doing is a major no-no.

I think the Whistle Blower exists in the same way that Russians fed information to Christopher Steel.
The Steele Dossier was typed up by Sidney Blumenthal's using the same IBM Selectric typewriter that the TANG documents were typed up on.
And more than likely the Whistleblower complaint was concocted by the same group of people using elements of the CIA and Deep State.

Fun Facts: Steve's father, Malcom, was a professor in Beriut, Lebanon, where Steve was born in '65. When Steve was 18 and in college at ASU, his father, a professor teaching at American University in Beruit, and later became it's president, was murdered by Islamic Jihad. He said the incident was very traumatic.
Steve's grandfather Stanley was a former Baptist minister who relocated in Lebanon after serving to run a charity after WWI, to relocate people from the Armenian massacre. The Armenian massacre killed over 1.5 million people, mostly starved, shot or stabbed.
One would think that having been exposed to such lawlessness and slaughter of innocent people, Steve would have enough personal history and knowledge not to stand up for the Communist Chinese. Since 1949, the Chi-Comms have slaughtered around 70 million people, many just like Steve's dad who was shot in the back of the head by government killers.
One would be wrong.

I publicly thanked Howard Schultz last week for selling the Sonics and ridding Seattle of the NBA. The $7 billlion NBA is a tool of $40 billion NIKE. The NBA is a sales tool for NIKE, which answer to, and cover for, the Chi-Comms. Steve also openly attacked and slandered our current President, while in said Commieland.

Situs inversus
Complete situs inversus with dextrocardia; Kartagener syndrome
Fun Facts:
Not all people with situs inversus have Kartagener syndrome, but those who do often have chronic lung problems and (if male) infertility due to swimmers not having any propulsion. Both the lung disease and the infertility are due to immotile cilia. Cilia are the little hairlike structures that line your airways and "sweep" mucus and debris up and out of the lungs. These same hairlike structures give sperm the wiggling tail that propels them in search of an egg to fertilize.

They're not conservatives, but they want very much to do what's right and, most importantly, to hear all sides. And they know the Left won't let them do that. So I steered them to people I think are wise and will impart some wisdom and they were happy for the suggestions. I think - hope - that many more younger people are like them. They've seen the nastiest of SJWs and their common sense rejects them - but they don't know where to go from there.

WHERE did you try shorting the system with a paper clip?
Start at the furnace. Does that fire it up? If so, the furnace is OK. If that works, short the system at the thermostat. Does that work? If so, the thermostat is the problem. If not, the wiring to the thermostat is the problem.

Before all this came out, the Antifa owner of the Antifa bar announced he hadn't seen Antifa-guy in the bar on Friday (he was a regular, of course), but that he had left the bar at 11, an hour before closing.
At the time, I thought: "My, it sure sounds as if the owner is trying to establish an alibi."
I wonder what else was going on that evening.
I bet having homicide deceives wandering around asking a lot of questions is not a happy time for Antifa-types.

Yep. You'd see them on the street - my nephew with long hair and skinny jeans and his girlfriend with the nosering - and think "Commies." And they're not -at all. They're not conservatives, but they want very much to do what's right and, most importantly, to hear all sides. And they know the Left won't let them do that. So I steered them to people I think are wise and will impart some wisdom and they were happy for the suggestions. I think - hope - that many more younger people are like them. They've seen the nastiest of SJWs and their common sense rejects them - but they don't know where to go from there.

Is the thermostat getting power? Usually they get fed 24 volts from a transformer located near the furnace. Sometimes, there is a switch to turn the furnace off, and that will kill power to the thermostat, too.
Check the breakers in your service panel, and make sure that none are in the "off" position that are not supposed to be.

You don't understand. All the thermostat does (usually) is complete the circuit to the furnace.* (Think light switch.) If you short the circuit AT THE FURNACE, it will fire up if the furnace is OK.
* You can realize this is you look at the wires going into the thermostat - they're usually tiny, which indicates that they carry minimal voltage.
The thought process:
1. Is there gas at the furnace? I.e., is the pilot light lit?
2. If you short out the leads at the furnace, does it fire up? I.e., is the furnace functional?
3. If yes, then short out the leads at the thermostat, i.e., is the thermostat functional? If yes, the furnace will fire up.
4. If the furnace fires up, it's the thermostat that's not working. Check the connections, any battery, etc. If no it's the wiring between the thermostat and the furnace. Probably best to call a pro, unless your husband is handy.

I've dealt with that scenario many a time. One key is early recognition of the problem. It can be diagnosed in utero by ultrasound, but only in skilled hands that know what they are looking for. After birth it becomes a race against time. If it's only the transposed arteries it can turn out well, but sometimes there are associated defects inside the heart as well.
We used "Big Blue Baby Boy" as a mnemonic. More common in boys than girls, Blue right from the moment of birth but without respiratory distress is transposition until proven otherwise.

Muldoon, just wondering something:
I was born in 59, two months ahead of schedule. I was 2 lbs. 8 oz when I was born. My twin, the first-born was slightly heavier, but she died 13 hours after birth. I don't know and was never told what she died of. I spent most of my first year in the hospital, but again, I was never told why. I had a body cast on for much of the time, but I don't think that's the reason why. Can you think of the reason why? Nobody never explained what the medical issues were - just that I was lucky to be alive.

In 1959 neonatology as a specialty was still in its infancy (heh). A 2-1/2 pound premature baby quite likely would have had immature lungs with surfactant deficiency (known at that time as hyaline membrane disease). The aggressive treatment of that with endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilator can cause substantial airway damage also known as bronchopulmonary dysplasia, which in the 50's to 70's often required prolonged hospitalization for respiratory care. I saw some babies in the early 80's celebrate 18 month birthdays in the hospital. That almost never happens these days.

I have never owned a thermostat with digital display, or any kind of day/night setting either. KISS principle applies. Anything so vitally important as a furnace (leastwise in a cold climate), should be made as simple as it can possibly be, to reduce the number of possible failure modes. The old Honeywell Round thermostats, with the mercury switches in them, last essentially forever.

He's a symphony fan, tries to organize a Union and strike, enjoys his organic food and won't eat burger, and is always contentious towards the other characters.

Ha! Well, not exactly - my baby pictures are of a pretty pathetic looking baby in an incubator and one leg up in the air. I look like "WTF is this?"
Good thing I remember nothing from that time! The person I really feel bad for is my mom. My sister (5 years older) said my mom went to the hospital every single day to visit me. And she had two older children and had to take them on the bus with her because we had only one family car and my dad took it to work. I think of my mom walking to the bus stop everyday with two little kids in tow to visit me - and, God almighty, thank you, Mom.
I never thought to thank her for that or imagine how awful it must have been for her - and now she's long dead, it's too late to thank her and I feel sad about that.

Posted by: Ladyl

Whoa, hello, dear! Late to the thread, but I have a thermostat problem, too.
Mine was flashing like insanity and I couldn't turn the heat up. I took a little video of it, posted it on Twitter and tagged Honeywell, and they saw me (they have people monitoring their social media accounts 24/7) and they walked me, well, through the same routine I'd found online and failed on. We finally concluded that I need a new thermostat.
So I got one at Home Depot today. Only reason it's not installed is that I got it home and it turns out I need AAA batteries, which I'll get tomorrow.
I'll post my results tomorrow.

Survived my sojourn in the belly of the beast last night (concert at Slim's, in San Francisco). The somewhat inebriated older dude next to me, sitting on the wrought iron railing, with a 10 foot drop down to the stairs behind him, kept me on my toes, lest I had to prevent disaster. Fortunately, the dude kept his feet wrapped around the balusters and remained vertical.
An older lady was not so lucky: she was right in front of the stage, and had some medical emergency which required that she be dragged, unconscious, out of the venue during the encore. When we left she was propped up on a bench and being watched over by the Slim's staff, still unconscious but breathing, at least. I presume medical help was summoned. Hope she's OK.
A young lass with a blue mullet (not as bad as you might think) was wearing a T-shirt that said "Ignore Unsolicited Advice". I wasn't quite sure what to do with that advice.

In some older HVAC systems, the 24 volt thermostat powers a small heater relay. When the metal disk in the relay pops from hot to cold status, it activates the 120 volt and 240 volt systems, such as furnace and air handler fans. Your problem may be the relays.

________
Have you ever watched Speedy Gonzales through a world-historic lens?
Faceless corporation has all the cheese. The means of production and distribution for society are, of course, in the imperialist United States.
The corporation hires an animal, invariably a cat, as security. The cat is from the proletariat but is selling his services to the ruling class.
Our hero, clad in a partisan red neckerchief, faces the danger of the cat to re-appropriate the cheese to his fellow mice in Mexico. It's not stealing, you see, as the pre-Revolutionary owners of the factory currently control the cheese which they themselves acquired through theft -- the theft of the labor of the working class which they oppress.
Notice how the heroic mouse doesn't seek to harm the cat but instead tries first to reason with him.
The story could be set anywhere, but the creators chose Mexico as a tribute to Leon Trotsky.

My check is for$913. I make quarterly estimated payments to avoid the failure to pay penalty. Under $1000 liabilty no penalty (simplified explanation). Interest rate is minimal.

Ok, I did wonder about the quarterly estimated taxes. Not certain how filing late would save any money though. We file quarterly estimates. If I recall correctly, you have to be within 10% as if I know what the market will do.
Posted by: Evasiveboat42 at October 14, 2019 12:16 AM (f9A2A)
It's based in part on your previous years tax liabilty. Keep the tax owed under $1000 will generally avoid the failure to pay penalty which is the one that hurts. I dont file my taxes at the last moment to save money. I file them in October because I'm a procrastinator and an accountant in recovery

Yes ,estimated based on previous year. We had a previous tax person that filed for extension. We were nailed hard for penalties. The tax firm paid them, wrote a letter to the IRS, a few years later the IRS refunded the penalty to us, we did the right thing and gave the money to the tax firm since they had already reimbursed us. Yes, we use someone else now. The Trump tax cuts have also hit us hard.

If you EVER get the chance, you gotta see an episode of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour where Darren McGavin has his car stolen just after he's killed his wife and stuffed her body in the trunk... and the guy who runs the car-theft chop-shop is Telly Savalas, and he takes the car back to McGavin, who then tries to get the thieves to steal it again.

I heard quoted a survey of traffic fatalities and injuries post-adoption of the car airbags.
The upshot was that airbags did decrease injuries and fatalities for drivers and passengers, but this is linked to an increase of injuries of fatalities for pedestrians and other people outside of the car.
On review the explanation was that the feeling of safety by all this preventative muck causes people to drive a bit more carelessly.
"Imagine." as the explanation went, "that you have this one foot spike sticking out of the middle of your steering wheel ready to spit you if you hit anyone. Will you drive more or less carefully with that in your face?"

From a poll at BigLeaguePolitics.com
Now, it also said that black women only support him at 7%.
I believe that Trump got overall about 8% of the black vote in 2016.
But 32% of black men is a big swing to reelecting him.
As the article concludes: no wonder why they are doing everything to destroy him!

Speaking of Hitchcock, tonight is the hilarious episode where this somewhat prudish, prim and proper Englishwoman goes on holiday in France. She decides to take a bath in her hotel, which in a separate bath room on the hall with her room.
She gets out and goes back to her room. The knob falls off in her hand as she closes the door, and then she realizes she's stepped into the wrong room, noticing a man sleeping the bed.
She's mortified and afraid of scandal. He hides in the closet, then under the bed. She then discovers the man is dead, and that makes the situation even more frantic.

I'll do half now and the other half in the spring. Doing it that way so I can move tractors and such around without turning new grass into a mud pit.
Finished up the first 8000 sq ft this morning (plowed, disked, raked, seeded, buried, rolled, top covered, fertilized, and watered) in the back yard. That's a little under a quarter of the whole shebang. Next is one of the side yards and a bit more in back by the patio and spa. Less tractor and more hand tools for that.

On of the updates here on my latest machine turned the "Fast Shutdown" option on without my knowing it. This is another name for a "hybrid shutdown". Userland shuts down and the kernel gets into a state before the userland has been started. It then hibernates.
It does not flush the hard disk write buffers, letting the disks get into an inbetween state. If you boot any other OS or even another instance of Windows, it will cause disk corruption.
It did that with me, and corrupted 3 or 4 partitions.

Windows is getting so damned complex, running on so many different types of systems with countless different configurations that testing for every possible combination is impossible.
The fast shutdown thing wouldn't be a problem if one had only the one install of Windows and wasn't multibooting. You'd think they would put something in to catch that, but MS has never been one to try to place nice with other OSes. Of course, here, it's not even playing nice with itself in other installs.
This resetting of sundry settings seems to happen randomly. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't, depending on countless factors.

Then there was the infamous 1809 update, Fall of 2018. The latest is 1903, and there's another one coming about right now.
Anyway, there was a bug in the 1809 upgrade install that would *delete* user data files in the home directory. It had something to do with some OneDrive setting and affected way less than 1%.
Now, during the beta testing, the Windows INsider preview program as they call it now, that bug was encountered and reported. Multiple times.
Somehow, those bug reports were ignored. They released and it started hitting users big time. They had to pull the upgrade until they got it fixed.

We think of suicide as a single act at a single time--the act of swallowing the pills, or jumping off the bridge, or what have you. This is not always the form suicide takes. In fact, there are suicides that go unrecognized, disguised as deaths from heart disease, or complications of diabetes, or other such.
These are the slow-motion suicides. Sometimes folks just start losing interest in the things that keep them going. They stop looking after themselves, believing it isn't worthwhile. They stop seeing to their personal affairs, thinking it's pointless. Bit by bit, the basics of life fall away, until eventually they die of this or that, often on the streets or in some shelter.
Make no mistake, these are every bit the suicides the folk who hang or shoot themselves are. These people gave up on life, but for whatever reason couldn't take the single act, so they dragged it out. It's likely they never realized that's what they were doing. It's a damned subtle way to end yourself.
I should know. When my treatment for depression started last year, one of the realizations that hit like a truck was that I had been doing exactly this to myself for God only knows how long. I still am, though I struggle to overcome it. I fear I will eventually lose this battle; either the damage done already will take its toll, or one day I will simply give up entirely, the weight of previous choices becoming so hard to overcome that my already-weak spirit will simply collapse entirely.
This may be the hardest form to counteract, even if you recognize it. Stopping a simple act is one thing, but how do you counteract the way a person lives their entire life? How do you get a person who believes they aren't worthwhile to start living as if they were? I have no answers. I probably never will, at least while I draw breath. If I had those answers I would not be the miserable wretch that I am.
Just...understand. This is what some of us do. It's a lot less about you than you may think. It's not your fault. If we were healthy we wouldn't do this. We are sick, mentally and spiritually, and science has fewer answers than it would admit.
That's all I've got. Sorry it's not more or happier. But I don't really do "happy" these days.

With his finger ON the trigger, the adrenaline dump of seeing a person in the "open door" welfare check house, coupled with the muscle tensing act of yelling commands, created just enough muscular contraction throughout his whole body, that the already "fight or flight" grip he had on the gun, transmitted to the trigger finger, and BANG, happened before he even realized it.
Failure to comply with procedure. Failure to exercise proper trigger discipline. Unintended discharge due to failure to manage and control his own actions and reactions.
Manslaughter, straight up. Felony Murder if the jury is so inclined, but not Pre-Meditated Homicide.
If the cop wants the minimally injurious outcome to his life and future, he'll use my explanation in his own words, OWN his mistakes, turn in his badge and gun and resign his commission.
Only this might sway a jury to show mercy, I think.
So many cops did this with revolvers that could be "cocked" into Single Action mode, resulting in a "hair trigger", that many departments ordered "Double Action Only variants thereof.
Having watched that video, the cop did not INTEND to shoot, at all. It's the shouted commands, the chest wall tightening, and resultant overall muscle contractions, that overcame the pistol's mere few pounds of trigger resistance, till it could resist no more.
"bang".
Keep your booger hook offa the bang switch, Horde.
You know when it's Shooty / Non Shooty time. And what to do, accordingly.

I've stayed in quite a few motels over the years, though mostly in the South. I can recall exactly ONE place that had a dispenser mounted in the shower; the rest used the small bottles.
And that brings me to my main point -- I bet Gavin has a buddy in the dispenser selling/filling business, and ole Gav probably is getting a cut of profits.
Let's see here, if my calcs are right there about 3 million hotel/motel rooms in the US, though I couldn't find an exact stat on that. Meh. Close enough.
That's a lotta dispensers, boys and girls.

The sanitation companies such as San-Tex who did the urinal mints, rubber screens and such, were all bought out by giants in the Rental Uniform Industry, mostly in the '90s, early '00s.
ARAMARK is the giant, and buys a shit-ton of Made in China garments for their uniform rental side of the house.
CINTAS is next, but a more Patriotic, Cincinnati based giant.
UniFirst and G&K constantly vie for 3rd.
Can't speak to G&K, but UniFirst has nothing BUT U.S. and U.S. territory manufactured uniforms. (NYSE: UNF)
The Uniform Giants are the MASTERS of the Route Sales delivery business mode. It was childs play for them to subsume all off the "sanitation" companies into their route sales models.
So?
Watch for the Uniform Giants to step into he market for "refilling" those in-bath dispenser systems.
And. Follow. The. MONEY.

Did you notice that the distaff side could use "female logic", which was not Aristotelian logic?
Now we have the Democrats using "female logic" constantly. Trump is an Aristotelian. But he is not as tolerant as Donny or Sonny. But being POTUS is not being the male star of a comedy, variety show either.

The recidivism rate for people convicted of pedophilia runs between 10 and 50 percent. The rate varies so much because which ever ax grinding group who does the study does it differently. It is probably MUCH higher than 50%

Good morning. Reading about the shampoo crisis in California. I know
some folks who have a motel. They got rid of the individual soaps and
shampoos for dispensers, and it didn't take a law. About once a week
some fool would throw an empty pack or bottle in the toilet. They only
flush so far, and then cause stoppage.
