Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | 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 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. What's in your wallet? 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.
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. On this day: 29 Oct 1965 On this day: 29 Oct 2003 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.

Senator Coons quote is why people still vote for Dems even though it makes no sense policy-wise. Despite being lefties these Dem pols still try to talk like normies, and some voters get fooled. I think Coons is up for reelection next year, so of course he's going to portray self as not an extremist. It's like Tester in MT, or the makeover they gave Sinema in AZ so she looked like a suburban professional gal instead of a freak.

Asynch for the win! I work from home and have seen a real increase in productivity being away from a traditional office. Did not read the whole article, but it makes sense that you are more productive if you can chose to not be interrupted while doing "deep" work, and instead being able to respond to emails and routine inquiries when the more important tasks are done.

Avoiding the problem is not thinking outside of the box. Seattle Councilmember Kathy Lambert: Genius Award Winner.
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.

If old sit-coms are to be believed it was completely normal for middle class professionals to live in the inner 'burbs and drive into the city for their job AFTER getting the kids on the bus.
Posted by: 18-1 ---- And the entire family sat around the breakfast table every weekday, while it was light out, and while joking and good natured joshing with each other, lovingly poured each other a drink out of full, glass pitchers of milk and orange juice. 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. The dog barking and Dad yelling to get the lead out. Mom sitting there in her slip, smoking a cigarette and trying, and failing, to get a sip of hot coffee. Damn, I miss that. ![]() Posted by: Tonypete at October 29, 2019 10:43 PM (Y4EXg) 175

Posted by: Broseidon Czar of the Brocean at October 29, 2019 10:57 PM (KBywZ) 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.

No real dog in the WS, but I was sort of rooting for the Nats since they've never won a WS - until Trump was booed. Now I want the Astros to win just so all those DC assholes have the sadz.
But neither team seems to be able to win in their own ballpark. It's weird - "home field advantage" is a disadvantage in this WS. Posted by: Donna&&&&V. at October 29, 2019 11:03 PM (d6Ksn) Posted by: Drink Like Vikings at October 29, 2019 11:03 PM (7jIYV) 271

Jay, I'd agree if he was as far out of the baseline as he was when he had a foot in the grass. From the replay I saw it looked like he was on the baseline when the throw actually hit him.

It's like people who said Pettitte balked every time he made a pickoff play to first. Maybe by the letter of the law - but they never called that shit in the regular season and it wouldn't make sense to start calling it in the WS.
Posted by: Broseidon Czar of the Brocean at October 29, 2019 10:59 PM (KBywZ) 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.

Fielder doesn't have priority to thrown ball if runner is in base path. Otherwise, everytime a first baseman fields a ball and throws to second for force out he could just paste the runner in the back. Which would make an interesting game, but nevertheless runner has right to base path.

Israel has some serious internal political problems. Half the country hates Netanyahu.
Also ISIS is leaderless but its local cells and franchises are looking to do some revenge, and for a lot of jihadis that tends to focus on Joos. And if there's documentation linking ISIS to factions in the US government, that's ... bad. It's wise of Israel to hunker down for a few days.

Posted by: dartist --- 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. Posted by: Tonypete at October 29, 2019 11:25 PM (Y4EXg) 390

So here's the rule, I just looked up.
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. Posted by: Guy Mohawk at October 29, 2019 11:30 PM (r+sAi) 400

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. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at October 29, 2019 11:30 PM (NMAzL) 402

Supposedly ISIS has never attacked Israel.
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: boulder t'hobo at October 29, 2019 11:30 PM (ykYG2) 405
Soooooo..... why was he out???
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? 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. Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at October 29, 2019 11:31 PM (6JYGT) 406

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.

I get the court's judgement on the House being able to decide it's own rules on it's powers.
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.

On running to first base, you HAVE to run between the foul line and the line further into foul territory.
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. Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at October 29, 2019 11:39 PM (6JYGT) 447

In running the last half of the distance from home base to first base,
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. Posted by: Guy Mohawk at October 29, 2019 11:41 PM (r+sAi) 456

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. Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at October 29, 2019 11:39 PM (6JYGT) ^This^. My wife asked about the play and I said it was called an out because of where the ball was squibbed.

Posted by: Donna&&&&V. at October 29, 2019 11:34 PM (d6Ksn) 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. Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at October 29, 2019 11:45 PM (6JYGT) 476

Honestly, I don't know why any baseball player wants 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.

Posted by: eleven at October 29, 2019 11:09 PM (tH5fk) 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.

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.

Posted by: Drink Like Vikings at October 30, 2019 12:20 AM (7jIYV) 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 just read the NR article. The author is not in favor it, just pointing that after the reasoning of the gay-marriage decision, there's nothing but a very thin line to to allow the state to continue to reject polygamy.
------ Same as it ever was. "We don't approve of the world our global left wing bankrollers created. We promise. We don't approve of it all. Swearsies. But... it's their world, and we have no legal or political right to oppose the forward march of their radical agenda. All the right kinds of sophisticated, Constitionalist sooper-dooper Crying Eagle Conservatives know we need to meekly accept whatever new iteration of social corrosion is in vogue on the Dem cocktail circuit. Dirty Republican voters just aren't nuanced enough to get it." Their routine is far past its sell-by date. Boring. Sad. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at October 30, 2019 12:32 AM (e/H31) 635

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.

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.

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.

Eleven, then enjoy it as long as you can tolerate fixing it and can manage the odd stranding (or else proactively repair it). Every major repair-free month is a car payment. And as long as it runs, it's worth about 1000. I got 900 for a Saturn with 225 on the clock and hail damage, in need of some things. That's just understood after a certain point.

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.

You can buy the Studeamino kit. I think the front end and fender overlays are all fiberglass. Nary a real Studebaker part in the whole thing. They look pretty good, because the rake of the windshield in the Chevelle-based El Camino is not that different from that of the bullet-nose Studebakers.
The big drawback to them? They are a car, not a truck, and they have very little inside, secure storage space. Pretty, but not practical. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at October 30, 2019 01:48 AM (/sgva) 729

Question for the Horde: Does anyone know any details behind Drudge Report entity or management and control? Asking because I'm seriously wondering if the person Matt Drudge has sold some or all his management and control over the Drudge Report to someone else.
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....

Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at October 30, 2019 02:02 AM (9Om/r) 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.

======== 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. Posted by: RichardWindsor at October 30, 2019 02:10 AM (DRgs8) 739

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.

Posted by: Skip at October 30, 2019 02:13 AM (ZCEU2) 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.

740...People are strange. Indeed. Matt Drudge and the Drudge Report have always interested me. I've visited that site daily for at least the last 17 years.
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. Posted by: RichardWindsor at October 30, 2019 02:22 AM (DRgs8) 748

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.

California is a frigging disaster. Their government actually chooses to fail, at the detriment of their own citizens. The result of one-party rule for so many years.

I get to deal with tech support this morning. Technology is great until it doesn't work. Card readers at work were down randomly yesterday. The normal reboot didn't work. 2 hours on phone with the home company (to go through all the steps required) before an order is put through for someone to actually fix the problem was annoying. So today, I get to deal with it before I open. Yay, me.

FFS, Flynn has suffered mightily and there doesn't seem to be any end in sight. Posted by: CrotchetyOldJarhead at October 30, 2019 05:38 AM (rM6Mf) 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).

The auto parts reader will generally return with a list of things they stock. Getting the codes to your cell phone, so you can search for your self and then watch a video about the problem/fix is preferable. I buy a BT reader for every car, that and a modern jump box - almost more important than a toolkit.

The term is "word thinking" and I am beginning to believe it is how liberals navigate through life.
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.

It's absurd that manufacturers don't just display what the codes means on the dash. It would take less than $10 worth of electronics and could either be in a little LCD display or on the giant tuchscreens they put in cars nowadays. A code like P0012 means nothing to the driver.

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.
