Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (10/29/19)
Quote I
"People think it's the drug companies — of course, they were duplicitous in the whole thing, but it was an ideology. Whenever you have ideology grab people in a profession or a leadership position, this is the exact same thing that's happening with homelessness. The ideology is this is a housing crisis, period, end of story. It's income inequality, it is not, it's a mental health crisis and if you don't wake up from that theological fog, more people are going to die. Three people dying in the streets every day in Los Angeles County, three every day and people who get in the way of treating those people are murderers. They are and I'm sick of it." Dr. Drew Pinsky
Quote II
“I’m enough of a sort of traditionalist about our institutions that even at a time when there is a lot that our president does that I find disturbing, offensive, unconventional, I have a hard time with the idea of a crowd on a globally televised sporting event chanting ‘lock him up’ about our president,” Sen. Christopher Coons (D-DE)
Quote III
“If the commanding officer of the 75 (precinct) said, ‘move my kid to college,’ do you really think that wouldn’t kill his career? But because it’s the mayor, everyone just does it,” Former member of Mayor de Blasio NYPD security detail
Quote IV
"Don't get mad at 'em, don't hate on 'em,". "Man, it's not that serious. The First Amendment is first for a reason. Second Amendment is just in case the first one doesn't work out." Dave Chappelle
Quote V
“The City’s gun control sought to eviscerate the inviolate right of the residents of the Commonwealth to keep and bear arms and ensnare law-abiding citizens through a patchwork of laws. Today, Judge James made clear that Mayor Peduto and the Pittsburgh City Council are neither above the law nor a special class of citizens that may violate the law with impunity.” Attorney Joshua Prince
Quote VI
This man should be removed from the NSC yesterday. Where do his loyalties lie? Has he been communicating with the Ukrainian government against President Trump and his national security agenda for the United States? As a former military officer myself, I am ashamed of Vindman. Get him the Hell out of the government of my country. L Todd Wolf
The NCAA on its way to eliminating amateur status of athletes. Board of Governors starts process to enhance name, image and likeness opportunities Each NCAA division directed to immediately consider modernization of bylaws and policies
In the Association’s continuing efforts to support college athletes, the NCAA’s top governing board voted unanimously to permit students participating in athletics the opportunity to benefit from the use of their name, image and likeness in a manner consistent with the collegiate model. The Board of Governors’ action directs each of the NCAA’s three divisions to immediately consider updates to relevant bylaws and policies for the 21st century, said Michael V. Drake, chair of the board and president of The Ohio State University. “We must embrace change to provide the best possible experience for college athletes,” Drake said. “Additional flexibility in this area can and must continue to support college sports as a part of higher education. This modernization for the future is a natural extension of the numerous steps NCAA members have taken in recent years to improve support for student-athletes, including full cost of attendance and guaranteed scholarships.”
Hell, I didn't even know that I spoke the language.
Asynchronous Communication: The Real Reason Remote Workers Are More Productive
Async isn’t just for remote teams
When I visited UCLA’s Boelter Hall last Wednesday, I took the stairs to the third floor, looking for Room 3420. And then I walked right by it. From the hallway, it’s a pretty unassuming place. But something monumental happened there 50 years ago today. A graduate student named Charley Kline sat at an ITT Teletype terminal and sent the first digital data transmission to Bill Duvall, a scientist who was sitting at another computer at the Stanford Research Institute (now known as SRI International) on the other side of California. It was the beginning of ARPANET, the small network of academic computers that was the precursor to the internet.
A college student at Benedictine University asked a Holocaust survivor if he supports Israel’s alleged “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians earlier in October and walked out after he wouldn’t denounce the country. Scholar Harold Kasimow gave speeches Oct. 23 and Oct. 24 at the Illinois campus. He is a Holocaust survivor, and spoke about “Advancing Abrahamic Friendship: Modern Popes in Dialogue with Jews and Muslims” and “Bearing Witness: Memories of a Child Holocaust Survivor,” the school’s newsroom wrote.

Area Company With $4 Billion In Debt And Annual Losses Of $3 Billion Would Like To Sell You A Credit Card

Vanity. Two For One goes wrong.
A beauty therapist’s mother says her daughter died after being told having two cosmetic procedures at the same time would be cheaper. Louise Harvey, 36, died on July 5, 2018, nearly three weeks after breast enlargement and tummy tuck surgeries. Her mother Linda, 53, told an inquest in Norwich yesterday that her daughter was sent home without blood thinners. She said that her daughter wanted a tummy tuck as ‘she felt she had some loose skin around her belly following the birth of her youngest son’.
A man was savaged in the leg by a crocodile after he accidentally stepped on it believing it was a log. Elston Lami Lami, 42, had a near escape as the animal then went for his groin, shredding his shorts but avoiding serious injury. He had been out hunting in murky water near Minjilang on Croker Island near Darwin, Australia, at 12.30pm on Saturday. At first, the reptile stayed still beneath his foot until it suddenly lunged upwards and bit his upper right leg.
No one is above the law. This old tired hag should know.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has announced the House will finally hold a vote on impeachment proceedings, an effort to silence Republican complaints about secrecy – and force witnesses to respond to subpoenas.
A resolution “that affirms the ongoing, existing investigation that is currently being conducted by our committees” will be introduced in the House later this week to “eliminate any doubt as to whether the Trump administration may withhold documents, prevent witness testimony, disregard duly authorized subpoenas, or continue obstructing the House of Representatives,” Pelosi said in a statement released on Monday.
The House of Representatives has lost its ever living collective mind.
Democrat legislators have drafted a bill to import at least 50,000 “climate refugees” per year. “America will continue to stand tall as a safe haven for immigrants,” declared Rep. Nydia Velázquez (D-NY), who was born in Puerto Rico and chairs the House Committee on Small Business. The new refugees would receive green cards. They would have a path to citizenship and word permits. The bill, the “Climate Displaced Persons Act [H.R.4732],” offers green cards to “climate-displaced persons … [who] are individuals who have been forcibly displaced by climate change or climate-induced disruptions, such as sea-level rise, glacial outburst floods, desertification or fires … there could be as many as 200 million CDPs [climate-displaced persons] by 2050 globally,” said a statement from Velázquez‘s office.
Lawmakers in Australia (like their counterparts in the United Kingdom) are looking for an effective way to limit kids' access to online pornography. Australia's Department of Home Affairs has a possible solution: face-recognition technology. "Home Affairs is developing a Face Verification Service which matches a person’s photo against images used on one of their evidence of identity documents to help verify their identity," the government agency wrote in a recent regulatory filing. "This could assist in age verification, for example by preventing a minor from using their parent’s driver license to circumvent age verification controls." Australia's government face-matching system has been years in the making. In 2016, the government announced that (in the words of CNET) "the first phase of its new biometric Face Verification Service (FVS) is up and running, giving a number of government departments and the Australian Federal Police the ability to share and match digital photos of faces."
Hillary Clinton still not POTUS and apparently nuttier than 2 fruit cakes.
Hillary Cinton isn’t done yet. That was the message Sunday from Dick Morris, a former longtime adviser, friend and political guru to former President Bill Clinton who sees Hillary trying to get back into the White House again. “At the moment, the issue is, will the ghost of Hillary Clinton come out and get into the election,” Morris told New York billionaire and radio show host John Catsimatidis on Sunday’s “The Cat’s Cradle” radio show. “My feeling is she wants to. She feels entitled to do it. She feels compelled to do it. She feels that God put her on the Earth to do it,” Morris said. But right now, Morris said, Clinton has two obstacles standing in her way: Former Vice President Joe Biden and the #MeToo movement’s gains — particularly among liberals.
Flying under the Orange Man DTS radar is a new federal rule which may touch millions of people. New federal rules to allow employers to '401(k)-ize' health benefits
Federal rule changes that take effect in January have the potential to alter traditional employer-provided healthcare coverage, doing for medical insurance what the 401(k) did for worker pensions four decades ago. A change to the Internal Revenue Service code, set to take effect Jan. 1, allows employers to stop providing insurance for employees -- and instead pay workers pretax funds to buy coverage themselves.
Tiny homes have made a big splash all over the world, both for their environmentally conscious designs and because they prove that it is possible to live with less. While some of these tiny homes are personal projects by their owners, a South African company based in Cape Town are creating ready-to-buy tiny homes called PanGoPods. Developed by the Biodiversity and Development Institute (BDI), the idea behind these on-the-go, off-the-grid homes is that the owners are not beholden to any space or reliant on any power grids. The house can be planted anywhere or moved around on a trailer. They run off of solar power, use water from rainwater harvesting tanks, and have a water-free composting toilet.
A great number of elites despise us in flyover country. On the bright side, at least it is economical.
A new analysis by real-estate listing website Zillow found that in the US, the median million-dollar, single-family home boasts around 2,200 square feet. The analysis looked at the median square footage of million-dollar, single-family homes in 100 of the largest US cities. The largest is El Paso, Texas, where a $1 million single-family home has a median of over 7,000 square feet of space. On the other end of the scale, the city with the smallest median square footage is San Francisco, where the median million-dollar, single-family home boasts just 1,150 square feet of space.

The song was named the 11th greatest song by Rolling Stone on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and 13th on VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Songs of Rock & Roll. It reached No. 2 in the UK, the Who's highest charting single in their home country but only No. 74 in America. via thisdayinmusic.com

Research in the US found that songs get stuck in our heads because they create a 'brain itch' that can only be scratched by repeating a tune over and over. Songs such as the Village People's 'YMCA' and the Baha Men's 'Who Let The Dogs Out' owe their success to their ability to create a 'cognitive itch', according to Professor James Kellaris, of the University of Cincinnati College of Business Administration. via thisdayinmusic.com
SEATTLE -- The issues of crime, intimidation, parking and an aging building have one King County Council member calling for an unusual move that hasn’t happened since King County was formed 167 years ago. Councilmember Kathy Lambert wants to move the county seat out of Seattle to another city or unincorporated area of the county. “I’m tired of the talking,” Lambert said. “We need to make some plans for changes."
Actor Gary Sinise has been a subject of Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day segment. He's back again.
Who doesn’t love celebrities who use their fame and wealth to help those in need? From hosting charitable events to building foundations — all of their good deeds deserve recognition. One of those people who dedicate an important part of their lives to help others is Gary Sinise. Sinise is both an actor and a musician you probably can recognize from movies such as Forest Gump, The Green Mile and Apollo 13. However, thousands of people also know Sinise for his philanthropical work.
Mr. Sinise, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Dr Drew can make sense, but when it comes to topics outside of his own, he can be a twatwaffle. Which I guess is true of everyone.
I still remember a podcast with him and Adam Carolla where he said: 'The Metric system is the ONLY way to do science.'

She's not a Seattle counci lmember, she's a King County council member. Very different.
She is trying to solve a real problem - two-thirds of King County resides outside of Seattle, and Seattle city government has allowed downtown Seattle to turn into a cesspool, where the county offices are located.
King County can't force Seattle city government to clean up downtown, so the correct alternative is to move King County government outside of Seattle, so the two-thirds of King County residents who don't live in Seattle don't have to set foot in Seattle when doing county business.

Understandable unless you know Seattle politics.
But I bet she backs everything the city did along the highway to hell
Actually, she's a Republican, representing the most rural part of King County (King County is about twice the size of Rhode Island). She does not like Seattle politicians.
The other reason to move the county offices east is a more easterly location would be considerably easier to get to than downtown Seattle for most county residents. And, if King County is like Portland's county, the old county buildings are facing huge bills for seismic upgrades, so replacing them with modern buildings in a suburb would be cost-effective.

Breakfast was two sunny side up eggs, toast and bacon as it should be cooked - two crisp pieces.
My house was Bedlam. Worse than Bedlam. A sister trying to wall herself off from everyone else with cereal boxes. Someone crying for God know what reason.

Mom did not smoke, though. And Dad was always the last up. Mom would shout "Honey! You're going to be late!" And yet he never was. he was focused on the bare minimum to become presentable to the public in the morning.
I take after me dear pop.

Located in scenic Ingham County Michigan, county seat: Mason MI. Mason is the county seat because Lansing is so far north it's almost in Clinton County, so they picked Mason, which is closer to the center. Just like the state capital was moved from Detroit because Lansing is more geographically central.

Superglue alone isn't going to work!
When Teh Spawn were young, I'd frequently repair their broken plastic toys with pins made from sections of paper clips: Heat the pins in a flame, sink them in opposite sides of the break, pull the pieces apart again, put superglue on the pins and set them back in place. It usually held, at least for a time, and could be done over again if necessary...

No, it isn't. You're supposed to run the last 45 feet in foul territory, between the foul line and the line further into foul territory. If you're running in fair territory in the last 45 feet, you're interfering with the play.

It rarely gets called because it rarely comes up, since most throws are coming from the left side of the infield, or maybe from the second baseman. It usually only comes up on a nubber fielded by the catcher.
There's a reason why they have the chalk lines on the field. They're not decorative. If a batter hits a ball that bounces up and hits him, and he's in the batter's box, it's a dead ball. If he's OUT of the batter's box, he's out. Same principle.

Judgment call. You have to step toward first on at least a 45 degree angle. LHPs - I was one - practice stepping at a 44 degree angle, and continuing to move after throwing, so the angle is just not that clear.
This is another story. If you run the last 45 feet to first in fair territory, you're at risk of an interference call.

It's just aggravating af to see it called in the Series when they never call it during the regular season.
I'd feel the same if it was the 'stros, it's not because I am pulling for the Nats.

Whoa. So much to unpack. The runner has a right to the base if the fielder doesn't have the ball. Otherwise, not. If the ball hits the runner, then the ball is still in play. If a BATTED ball hits the runner, the ball is dead, the runner is out and the batter is credited with a hit.

Am I taking this too literally? Because in this case, neither the pitcher nor the first basemen had the ball. Or do you mean until such time as the first fielder (pitcher in this case) makes contact with it?

Not true. If the fielder is making a play on the ball, HE has right of way, not the runner.

Sure. Notice how the corn stalks, the ones that have been harvested, are placed. Gathered together in a 'shock'. You can only do that by hand. What most corn farmers do is harvest by a combine with a corn head on the front of it. The corn head cuts the stalk off at the ground and feeds in into the harvester. The harvester strips the ear of corn off of the stalk, strips the corn kernels off of the ear and deposits the kernels into a holding bin (on the machine). The stalks are cut up and ejected out the rear of the machine. There are other methods but that is most common these days.

If a thrown ball hits a runner while running the bases, the runner is not out unless the umpire judges that the runner
intentionally interfered, obstructed, hindered or confused the defense
attempting to make a play. There can be interference with a play or
without a play.
So the operative word is intentionally. Which I did not see, but apparently this ump did, somehow, with a ball thrown behind a runner.
The funny part is your not allowed to confuse the defense. So just get a bunch of AOC clones and you can win every game.

Corn heads don't really cut off the stalks. The have feed rollers that grab the stalk and yank it down fast. The ears hit a stripper plate, which pops them off, and the ears are then fed into the combine for threshing.
Years ago, way before I was my born, my father actually tried to cut corn with a regular grain head. Needless to say, he bought a corn head. The combine couldn't handle all that material.
Now, they've made row-crop soybean headers that are similar to corn head, except they do cut the stalks off. They are much more expensive, but don't waste as much due to beans shattering out at the cutterbar.

Qaeda didn't either. Qaeda's focus was America.
ISIS - from its first stage as "Al Qaeda In Iraq" - focused on the Shia, which is the main reason Bin Laden kicked them out of Qaeda. Bin Laden didn't want the Muslims to be divided against their main goal, which is us.
Neither Qaeda nor ISIS bothered with Israel much except as a carrot to dangle to stupid Muslims. It's Iran which has the boner for Israel.
At least, so I gathered from McCants' "ISIS Apocalypse" and Spencer's "Complete Infidel's Guide To ISIS". Between the two they sketched out a plausible portrait of jihadist internal politics.

Posted by: Trump'ette at October 29, 2019 11:16 PM (dl8pX)
OK, let's do this by the numbers.
A fielder cannot block access to a base if he doesn't have the ball. Waiting to catch the ball doesn't count, because he doesn't have it yet.
A runner cannot impede a fielder from making a play. For example, a runner cannot run into a fielder fielding a grounder or popup. If he does, he's out.
If a throw hits a runner, and the runner is not out of the baseline, the ball is live and in play.
This last is why batters sometimes run to first in fair territory: to impede a throw by a catcher or pitcher to the first baseman. This obvious possibility is why the last 45 feet to first base features another line, in foul territory. The runner is supposed to run between the foul line and that line against that possibility. Turner was clearly on the fair side of that line, and as the play was not made, he was correctly called out.

A well-equipped body & fender shop will have "heat welder" for plastic. Basically a very narrow beam of very hot air, aimed the plastic.
The operator feeds it plastic "welding rod", with nearly the same technique as gas-welding metals.
Shops that do motorcycle repairs work with this stuff all the time, to mend broken fairings and seat pedestals.
Try that route before you give up on it.
Plan "C"? Find it's equivalent in a junkyard or e-Bay. If it's the wrong color, again, a body shop can spray it with Urethane paint that'll match, and will stick, too.

However, I heard trolls say that the Senate cannot interfere by subpoenaing the House's witnesses themselves. That would be exactly the opposite of the opinion. The Senate has not lost their power of oversight just because the House says Impeachment is in process.
Also, the House can rule whatever it wants, but if the policy of the DOJ is to only respect those subpoenas issued from the Judiciary committee, then that also does not affect the House's ability to call their processes what they will.
The DOJ is also not required to comply with whatever the House decides.
Seems to me, that if your arguing that the House can determine what independent parties must do, you're infringing on the independence of Houses or separation of powers.

Let me be clear, as Obongo used to say. I mean you have to run in the provided lane when there's a relevant play on you at first.
If you hit the ball to the shortstop, no one cares if you run to first via the pitcher's mound, or the first base dugout.

while the ball is being fielded to first base, he runs outside (to the
right of) the three-foot line, or inside (to the left of) the foul line,
and in the umpire's judgment in so doing interferes with the fielder
taking the throw at first base, in which case the ball is dead; except
that he may run outside (to the right of) the three foot line or inside
(to the left of) the foul line to avoid a fielder attempting to field a
batted ball;
Rule 6.05(k) Comment: The lines marking the three-foot lane are a part
of that lane and a batter- runner is required to have both feet within
the three-foot lane or on the lines marking the lane. The batter-runner
is permitted to exit the three-foot lane by means of a step, stride,
reach or slide in the immediate vicinity of first base for the sole
purpose of touching first base.
Sorry if this bugging people, I find it interesting. Anyway the last line, the runner in situation we are in is at the base. Nevertheless, to me the fielder could not make the catch without interfering with the runner, in this case.

"Stripper" headers for wheat are somewhat similar in that they leave the stalk (straw in the case of wheat) and pull the heads. Around here "Shelbourne" is a header brand/style that's becoming more common.

Catchers and middle infielders used traditionally to get freight-trained from time to time. The rule was changed - quite rightly, IMO - to eliminate that. The rule now is that the catcher HAS to provide the runner with a place to slide or avoid the tag, and that the middle infielder has to actually touch 2B (no more "in the vicinity" shit), but the runner has to slide directly into the base.
I think both rule changes are definitely in the right direction.

The back panel of your car seat is unlikely to be HDPE. More like styrene, or ABS, possibly "sheet-molded compound". If you remove the part, there should be a recycle symbol, and a logo to indicate exactly what plastic it is. I think that has been Federal law for some time. In any case, there are some adhesives sold for that sort of use that can be found at auto supply stores, likely under ten bucks.
Or, if the car is old enough, get a used part at a Pick and Pull wrecking yard. And you can buy spray paint to match interior colors, too. This is easy stuff to do.

to be a catcher. You're not only in an extremely uncomfortable
position (does any mlb catcher escape total knee replacement surgery
when he gets old?), you're getting bats slammed into your head, balls in
the dirt hitting you in the balls and idiot pitchers shaking you off.
Plus, you have to be alert and active for every pitch and then you have
to bat as well. You can't stand in the outfield bored because no balls
are being hit out of the infield. And, psychologically, it must also
mean overcoming the natural instinct to flinch because the damn ball is
coming right at you at 95 mph.

For love of the game. And the $.
As a former pitcher, I cannot fully extend my throwing arm. Nurses attempting to draw blood don't get it: that's as far as I can extend my arm. That's it. It's very common - essentially ubiquitous - among former pitchers. Can you touch your shoulder with your hand on the same side? I can. On one side. Not on the other.

You know what I love about it? It selects for normal-sized guys. Yeah, there are behemoths, but then there are midgets. In what other major sport do you find stars who are less than six feet tall?
If a basketball or football team walks through a hotel lobby, people gawk. If a baseball team walks through, no one bats an eyelash.
The average MLB player is something like 6'1", 205 lbs. Not a wimp, but not jaw-droppingly huge, either. Just a typical guy, a bit larger than most. That's it.

I think this is just the full flowering of the way the Rockefeller Republicans have evolved and reacted to Trump/Populism.
The odd thing about it was they had a choice when the populist movement (or rather Trump) started up, they chose complete denial and so embraced the liberal parts of their version of conservatism while at the same time loudly proclaiming that they are the only true conservatives.
The sad part is, if they had just done what the fuck they said they were going to do, they would still be looked on with a certain amount of favor and also, Trump would never have arisen. The reaction to the movement is kind of indicative of why the movement began in the first place.
People are stupid. People are vain. They cannot stop being either.

I was just looking. A typical cell tower has a power requirement of 1 - 8 kW depending. Many of them do have generator backup. It's usually a UPS thing. Batteries keep it going and uninterrupted long enough for the generator to crank up and come online.
There's one about 2 miles from the house here, and it has a generator.

For many of us, it's now our only phone. Like me. And how do you call 911 to report your neighbor's house on fire if the cell network is down? There has to be at least a skeleton network of towers kept running, at all costs.
I don't know the power consumption of a single cell tower, but I doubt it's very much. Maybe they could have employees each "adopt" a tower, and be assigned to go there with a vehicle, and plug in an inverter, and run the tower off their vehicle's alternator for a shift.

You need the whole network, especially during an emergency. Otherwise the working cells will be overloaded.

Both of those fall into the 10+ years age range that the self-serve wreckers cater to. Pick and Pull, Pick a Part, You Pull It, those guys. Plastic interior trim? Probably under thirty bucks. In and out of the yard in ten minutes. And many of them are on-line now, and can tell you if they have a "donor" car of your type in the yard. But probably cannot tell you if the part is already sold off it, as in my experience, they do not keep a record of which parts sold off which wreck.

The real shocker to me was selling my old car, a 2001 Monte Carlo, on Craig's List. I asked for $1000 because it had 145,000 miles on it, there are lots of little things wrong with it and some rust, although I've taken good care of it - and I got contacted 30 seconds after I posted it. Got 8 offers and sold it for $900 2 hours after I posted it - to a mechanic looking for a car for his teenaged daughter. He said he could take care of all the little things himself.
I had no idea it would sell so fast.

I was just looking at this. Many sites do have backup generators. 48 hr run-time without refueling seems to be something they shoot for.
There doesn't seem to a be a rule setting any hard minimum. The FCC tried to set a 8 hr minimum backup power run-time, but they opposed it, and I don't know if it ever went through.
About 4 hr minimum runtime seems to be what battery only sites have.
Not all sites can take generators. Roof top installations in urban areas are an example. The roof can't handle a generator and there may not be anywhere nearby they can put one easily. And local laws may prevent it. NIMBY shit.

His 17 year old daughter is driving a 29 year old car, and it is in decent shape, other than the paint falling off it. When I was 17, I drove a 16 year old Studebaker Champion that I bought for $25.

Propane, because it is stable in storage for decades, and needs no fuel pump for vapor draw-off. Diesel would be acceptable, but that would require rotating the fuel stock, plus the gensets themselves would be more expensive.

Sketch out if you will, the perfect blend of "modern tech" with all of it's long-life reliability in the powertrain arena, vs. the classic "Iron Era" cars n' trucks of the Studebaker Era.
And that's not a slight, as I think that Stuedebaker had the most advanced engineering of it's time, before the marketing giants of the Big Three crushed the smaller makers like so many bugs.

Studeamino. A kit car you can buy, based on a Chevy El Camino. They look OK, but they aren't really a truck. I knew a guy from Billings, MT who put a Studebaker pickup cab on a Dodge one-ton dually with Cummins Diesel. Had a sleeper cab on it, too.

That is a "Shut Up and Take My Money" example, if I ever saw one.
I think that if Studebaker had survived to the Modern Era, they would be OUT of the manufacturing industry.
But would've become the premier mechanical engineering automotive consultative firm, ever.
Ford might not have ever had an SVT, and Mercedes may well have not bought AMT.
If only Studebaker had survived.

I just looked at Privacy Policy of the Drudge Report and it says this: "A reference to "Drudge Report" "we" or "our" means The Drudge Report (drudgereport.com)." I'm a lawyer, and I'll tell you this is out of the ordinary. Usually, everyone, everywhere creates an entity to conduct business, and that's exactly what you see on (guessing) 95% or more when you look at legal docs applicable to any major website. But the "Drudge Report," as we know it, is something else.
In any event, the Drudge Report is fabulously valuable. But, the man Matt Drudge is getting older, and perhaps tired, of doing his schtick. He's a private enterprise and could privately, say, sell his ownership interests in whatever it is he owns, and/or take in new cash-out partners/investors. We'd only know about it if someone talked about it.
But it's really quite strange how much the Drudge Report has quickly changed, in tone, emphasis and link choices. Really noticed it in last few days with an abnormally large amount of links to articles on MSN.com. THAT made me start wondering about above....

We called them vent windows. I didn't miss them too much until I got another old muscle car. Now I hate that the new car don't have them. The old cars had great vent systems in general. Open the vents on that sucker and you get hurricane winds inside. The new car has squat for vents.

Yeah, in general it seems like air flow is not as good or controllable on new cars. The climate control on the new car always wants to just use a gentle fan setting aimed at my feet for heat and 1 MPH breeze towards my face for AC. You can still change it, but you have to go manual.

Sort of obliges you to have air conditioning. And the wingless side windows often create a nasty buffeting effect when partly rolled down at highway speeds. You get pressure pulsations at a few Hz that are very tiring. There's this thing in physics, called a Helmholtz resonator, and the practical example is like blowing across the top of a jug, to get low musical note. A car, with the side window rolled partly down, is such a jug, and you are in it.

Don't know. Just asking out loud. In a former life, I was an M&A attorney and there quite a few deals related to valuable trademarks (like the "Drudge Report), and a part of the deal was obligation to keep silent to and to maintain appearances of normalcy for purposes of preserving the value of the brand.
I think the Drudge Report falls squarely in that box. IF you were going to buy control of the Drudge Report, you'd pay hundreds of millions of dollars for the rights. If you paid that, you'd would lock Matt Drudge into a management role for the next 2-5 years, under an NDA, and would obligate everyone involved to keep it all confidential.
So, it makes me wonder. There's definitely been changes at Drudge Report in last 6 months. Not with how it looks, not even that it's been clearly anti-Trump for some time now. It's how fast it changed from one direction to another, almost like someone else took over the editorial role.

The "quarter glass" vents stayed on trucks for a while. My '92 F-150 has em.
Believe it or not, EPA/fuel economy was the main excuse for getting rid of them. Believe it or not, it's more efficient to run the A/C that run with the windows open, and the side vents alone were worse than a regular window down.
Of course, fuck that. If I want to run with a breeze, then I want to do it, and there was nothing like the side vents to get a breeze blowing on you.

If running A/C costs a little mileage, as it assuredly does, so does driving with the side windows open, and enduring the buffeting. My habit is: warm weather, windows all the way down at traffic speeds, or for a short blast on the freeway. Long road trip, windows up, but fan turned on to circulate fresh outside air in. Very hot weather, A/C on, if I have it. Cool or cold weather, windows up, heater on, maybe roll a window down for a minute or so if it gets stuffy inside.

He's one guy, who is basically like the head editor at a major old-school newspaper. He reads all of the news stories of the day, organizes the good ones roughly 70/30, for real news stories and interesting headlines, respectively, and always has a headline. Keeps the same format since the beginning (thank GOD).
And the rest is history. One guy owns one of the biggest trafficked website on the web, has minimal ad space available, and no doubt charges a good wage for advertisements. But he's been living on income since the beginning, and I'm sure he's plenty wealthy on that. But the REAL value of the Drudge Report is the asset itself. A big liquidation event is mighty attractive, especially if you're getting tired of the grind.
(Of course, I don't know much about how Drudge operates these days. I'd be surprised if he doesn't have 50-100 (more?) employees. These same changes could alternatively be explained by Matt Drudge taking a less active role, and the in-charge editor has had more control of late. But, then again,I would think Matt would stop that if he didn't agree with the direction.

I was just looking this windows down vs A/C on. It's controversial.
It varies greatly with the aerodynamic shape of the vehicle. There is a break even speed, below which windows-down is better and above which A/C is better. That speed can vary greatly, and for big boxy designs, it can be 75MPH or greater.
For very aerodynamic shapes it can be as low as 45 MPH.
So, a rule is windows down for town, A/C on the highway for cars, and windows down for trucks.

Flynn already pleaded guilty. I'm not sure what Powell's strategy is but I wouldn't be surprised that the Judge is losing his patience and that might ultimately harm Flynn. Remember, the prosecution recommended Flynn get zero days in prison as a sentence but the Judge was determined to give him time. It was at that point that Flynn choose to delay sentencing and ended up with his new lawyer. (People say even a few days in prison will wreck his ability to get consulting work as an ex-con).

Thanks to Ben Had, Tami, Wyatt Earp, and any others I've left out. I looked at some of the threads and the earliest expression of concern I found was from Oct. 25. My internet searching abilities are poor, so I may have missed something from earlier. But I had already been discharged from the hospital and admitted to the rehab/nursing home on Oct. 19, so I don't know how I would have been found if people didn't know which hospital I had been in.

This is a big reason why so many of us are annoyed with the snails pace of the investigations into the palace coup attempt. And why we keep feeling it's going to wind up being a "people acted inappropriately but no charges will be filed" situation. And then get told that McCabe and Comey being fired was good enough. Just like how Lois Lerner retiring was a major victory for us.

Liberals don't use structured language like Normals do.
They communicate in trigger words that are supposed to engage emotions.
Liberals don't engage in the act of communicating facts or truth, everything is manipulation, posing or virtual signaling.
When you hear them say "Constitutional" or "duly authorized subpoenas" or "obstruction". They don't mean any of those things. They don't even know what is "constitutional" or "duly authorized". They do know that those words have been associated to positive emotions about government and authority and what they want to do is get you to have warm fuzzy emotions on good government and authority while they jam their criminal and self-serving agenda down America's throats.
Their words are like rat poison. They use language to get your emotions working one way, while they poison you with what they really want.

We have mandatory annual inspections here. If your check engine light is on you most likely will not pass the inspection. I have heard that some places don't care, but around me, if that light stays on you don't pass.

Texas tried the chassis dyno run the car up to 50 type thing. It was a second inspection required in the 5 biggest counties. NO ONE WENT! On the required day the beautiful new centers opened and no one drove in. ha!
Texas was forced to pay the owners millions.

The same with the code readers. I suppose most people wouldn't have a clue what a TPS or WSS is even if you told them.

I know that coveting and stealing are violations of the Ten Commandments.
So the government is now going to fulfill their Constitutional Duty by "pursing happiness" through the government policy of schadenfreude?
That saddens me that this country's culture has embraced Lord of the Flies.

I love baseball, and would normally be watching G7 tonight, but really I've come to the point that I dislike both of these teams so much I'm just rooting for casualties right now.

VA solved that by requiring an inspection before you can get or renew license plates!

raising taxes on the wealthy could deliver something meaningful that millions of Americans would feel rather quickly: happiness.

Well the trillions we've already "redistributed" have done wonders for the overall "happiness" level of the country, right?
These people are evil. I was going to be insane but they know exactly what they're doing and why.

Bhussein said the same thing. Taxes are not about funding government but about controlling people.

Texas was forced to pay the owners millions.
I don't remember the dyno thing, just that those inspection stations were performing emission testing.
Rather than replacing license plates each year, the state provided annual registration stickers that were placed on the corner of the plate. if your sticker had a line underneath the year, then you were condemned to have the new emission test.
Up until then, those who were living in those five designated counties just went to the nearest county and had their inspections performed there.
For those too lazy to do that, there were plenty of inspection centers, particularly in the Latino communities that would "pass" your inspection even if you had to push your car into the engine bay while the engine is on fire.

Don't forget, taxes also contribute, directly and indirectly, to the graft!

Trump gives out candy on Halloweeen. What did Barky give the kids? Kale bars?

I'm guessing Mooch is the type that gives out apple slices, which is always a big hit with the kids.

Ahh, so that "Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness" thing in the Declaration of Independence was really a mission statement intended for the exclusive enjoyment of the Ruling Class.
Because they sure seem to be happy bullying and looting We The People.

It's their reason for living. If you can't control, coerce and assert your moral superiority via State power, what's the meaning of life?

Of course, why do you think you hear so much about "Civil War 2.0" ?
That right there is a reliable metric for measuring general public happiness.

That is because most MIL lights are not as simple a diagnosis as a wheel speed sensor.
