Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Monday Overnight Open Thread (11/11/19)If only our country was as grateful as that little girl. The ONT thanks each and every veteran. Quote I I claim that the Democratic party embraces within its filthy arms the worst elements in American society. I claim that every enemy that this Government has had for twenty years has been and is a Democrat . . . every State that has seceded from this Union was a Democratic State . . . The man that shot Lincoln was a Democrat. And every man that was glad of it was a Democrat. Robert Ingersoll, 1876H/T redc1c4 Quote II "We remember those who were called upon to give all a person can give, and we remember those who were prepared to make that sacrifice if it were demanded of them in the line of duty, though it never was. Most of all, we remember the devotion and gallantry with which all of them ennobled their nation as they became champions of a noble cause." Ronald Reagan Quote III "The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here." Abraham Lincoln Quote IV You people… love our way of life, love our milk and honey. At least you could pay a couple of bucks for poppies or something like that. These guys paid for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada. Don Cherry Quote V “Many of these crimes are still being prosecuted, we have a long way to go to decriminalize poverty and homelessness,” Chesa Boudin The University of Virginia is a hopeless cause. Obviously it is not administered by any adults with a spine and common sense. The University of Virginia is clamoring for more safe spaces, locations on campus where individuals and identity groups can “feel validated and…build community.” In an atmosphere like that, imagine how disturbing the thought of holding a Veterans Day observance must be. Especially one that involves gunfire. That could have caused some of UVA’s less hearty undergrads to run for the nearest cry closet. But don’t worry, Cavaliers, because this year’s 21-gun salute has been eliminated from the Veterans Day ceremony. Because gun violence. Of course it is. Internet access should be free because it is a human right or something. Free internet access must be considered as a human right, as people unable to get online -- particularly in developing countries -- lack meaningful ways to influence the global players shaping their everyday lives, according to a new study. As political engagement increasingly takes place online, basic freedoms that many take for granted including free expression, freedom of information and freedom of assembly are undermined if some citizens have access to the internet and others do not. New research reveals that the internet could be a key way of protecting other basic human rights such as life, liberty, and freedom from torture -- a means of enabling billions of people to lead 'minimally decent lives'. Quit using your child as a prop. You dumb b*tch. A mum's post has gone viral after she shared a photo of her son holding a sign saying "Men Have Periods Too" in order to promote inclusivity. Milly Bhaskara has amassed thousands of followers on Instagram through her posts that promote self-love, body acceptance and mental health awareness and her latest post features her son Eli. The sign held up by the four-year-old says: "Some men have periods to. If I can get it so can you." Milly, who lives in Hull, explains in her caption why she has made the post. She said: "Some men have periods.. Some non-binary people have periods. Some women have periods.Men don't have periods. PERIOD. Vaping has been under scrutiny the past couple of months. It looks like the manufacturers are not responsible for the lung ailments. surrounding vaping. All 29 samples of lung fluids tested from vaping device users with severe lung injuries contained the oily additive vitamin E acetate, according to data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday. “These new findings are significant,” Anne Schuchat, CDC principal deputy director, told reporters in a press conference. It is the first time that a potentially toxic substance has been found directly at the site of injury in the lungs of vaping device users. The severe lung injuries have puzzled health officials for months as a nationwide outbreak of the vaping-related illnesses erupted. Health officials now refer to the condition as EVALI, or “e-cigarette, or vaping, product use–associated lung injury.” Informal sources? Why not call a spade a spade? An 83-year-old retired engineer in Michigan underpaid his property taxes by $8.41. In response, Oakland County seized his property, auctioned it off to settle the debt, and pocketed nearly $24,500 in excess revenue from the sale. Under Michigan law, it was all legal. And hardly uncommon. Uri Rafaeli, who lost his property and all the equity associated with it, is just one of thousands of people to be victimized by Michigan's uniquely aggressive property tax statute. The law, passed in 1999 in an attempt to accelerate the rehabilitation of abandoned properties, empowers county treasurers to act as debt collectors. In the process, it creates a perverse incentive by allowing treasurers' offices to retain excess revenue raised by seizing and selling properties with delinquent taxes—even when the amount owed is miniscule, and even when the homes aren't abandoned or blighted at all. There is a special place in Hell for the officials of Oakland County. Another brick and mortar venture for Amazon. Amazon on Monday said it plans to open its first new brand of grocery store in California next year, as it amps up its ambitious push to become a bigger name in food. "Amazon is opening a grocery store in Woodland Hills in 2020," an Amazon spokesperson confirmed to CNET on Monday morning, soon after the company published four new jobs postings for the location. Woodland Hills is a neighborhood in Los Angeles. The store will be different from Amazon-owned Whole Foods, the company said. It didn't say whether it will open more of these locations, what its selection or pricing will be, or what the brand name is. But in the jobs postings, the company described the Woodland Hills location as "Amazon's first grocery store," suggesting that it will have the Amazon brand name and that the company could expand to multiple sites. ‘But don’t you ever feel like a sucker for serving?” A fellow military veteran asked me this question a couple of years ago, when I was a senior at Yale. Like me, he had recently completed his service and was studying at a top university. He said he was mystified, observing that the predominantly working- and middle-class people in the military swear an oath to defend with their lives the U.S. Constitution, including the First and Second amendments. Meanwhile, affluent college students regularly trash the First and seek to dismantle the Second. Are veterans being duped, he questioned, into believing they are upholding American values while the richest kids in the world—the ones being groomed for success and power—try to undermine them? The American Flag Triggers “Professor” To Attack Flag Wavers Take a gander at this Oregon Live article Scuffle between woman and flag-waving right-wing demonstrators breaks out in Northeast Portland A scuffle between a woman and a group of right-wing demonstrators broke out on an Interstate 84 overpass in Northeast Portland on Sunday afternoon. While we are on the neighborhood topic: Don't you hate it when your neighbors install and activate porch cams? he first time Ganave Fairley got busted for stealing a neighbor’s Amazon package, she was just another porch thief unlucky to be caught on tape. In August 2016, a 30-something product marketing manager at Google, expecting some deliveries, got an iPhone ping from his porch surveillance camera as it recorded a black woman in a neon hoodie plucking some bundles off his San Francisco stoop. After arriving home that afternoon, the Googler got in his Subaru Impreza to hunt for any remnants strewn around the streets of his Potrero Hill neighborhood. Instead, he spotted Fairley herself, boarding a city bus, which he trailed while dialing 911. Minutes later, he watched responding police officers pull their cruiser in front of the bus and escort her off. The Googler, sitting nearby in his car, played the Nest Cam tape for them—Yep, it’s her—and the police pulled a $107.66 Apple Magic Keyboard from Fairley’s purse and black tar heroin from her coin pocket. The officers wrote Fairley a ticket with a court date a month later. “I thought it was just a ticket, and that was it,” Fairley said.Keep in mind folks it is not her fault. Fairley is now 38, with close-cropped hair styled in braids. Among the family members’ names tattooed on her neck, back, and arm are those of her parents, next to praying hands; Fairley said she has forgiven them for her chaotic early years in Potrero, when they were addicted to drugs and she witnessed abuse. (She told me she prefers not to talk about the painful particulars.) When Fairley was 5 years old, social workers whisked her and her siblings to a great-aunt’s, where she told me she had a sheltered childhood: therapy, church, road trips to Yosemite. In middle school, she started flourishing at basketball and earned a scholarship to a Catholic high school. But a knee injury shut down the tuition aid, she said, and a transfer to public school introduced her to a rough crowd. At 19, Fairley came out as gay and, more shocking to both her and her family, pregnant. Sometimes I do see the value of Sharia law. Until I started prepping tonight's ONT I had never heard of 22 year old Freddie Bentley. What a wasted space of cells. He gives the term "Special Snowflake" more meaning. Freddie Bentley is a British reality television celebrity who is mainly known for his appearance on the reality game show “The Circle” and for his Instagram feed. He has recently come under fire online after appearing on the TV show Good Morning Britain and arguing an unpopular opinion. In the piece on GMB, Bentley states that children should not have to learn about WW2. In his opinion, too much time is spent on the subject. He is concerned that the emphasis on the destruction and killing of war is too much for young minds. It is past time these individuals grow up. No more lawsuits, no more lawyers. In an interview with GearJunkie, Backcountry CEO Jonathan Nielsen reaffirmed the company made a mistake and is committed to meaningful action. In the wake of swirling controversy and a cooly received apology, Backcountry.com CEO Jonathan Nielsen outlined what the company has done to start the process of “bringing the outdoor community back together.” Nielsen told GearJunkie that Backcountry “severed ties” with IPLA Legal Advisors, the law firm that had been serving on behalf of Backcountry in its now-infamous trademark litigation against other brands’ use of the word “backcountry.” The ONT Is Always Looking Out For You TM OMG THESE THINGS CAN KILL YOU! Everyday plastic kitchen items like spoons, spatulas and whisks might be damaging your liver or thyroid, scientists have said. They say the plastic untensils produce harmful toxic byproducts that can get into food when they are used at high temperatures and may be poisonous. The toxic byproducts, known as oligomers, are formed unintentionally during plastic production and because they are so small, humans may be ingesting them without knowing. Scientists from the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) are warning people to keep contact with food as brief as possible when using plastic utensils in cooking – especially at temperatures above 70°C. The BfR, an independent group that advises the government on food, chemical and product safety, studied oligomers from two different molecules which are mainly used to make kitchen utensils, including PA 6 and PA 6,6. Taking information from a study conducted between 2016 and 2017, the scientists looked at how PA oligomers from spoons and spatulas get into food and what impact this has on health. On this day: 11 Nov 2004 On this day: 11 Nov 1973 Leaving your child with a babysitter fine. At a haunted house, alone? Genius Award Winner. An ex-con whose rap sheep overflows with felonies left his five-year-old daughter by herself at a Florida haunted house on Halloween night, according to cops who arrested him for child neglect. As detailed in a probable cause affidavit, Charles Shawntay Jones, 35, dropped the child off at a haunted house in Brevard County Thursday evening and “never attempted to go back to the aforementioned haunted house.” Police were summoned to the haunted house after the girl was found unsupervised there. The scared child, cops say, was cared for by a witness while others sought to locate adults responsible for her. Cops subsequently received a phone call from Jones, who agreed to meet with them at a local precinct. Investigators estimated that Jones left the girl “unattended, with no reasonable effort to provide for her care for a minimum of two-and-a-half hours.” A DAY TO BE PROUD OF RICK RESCORLA Yesterday President Trump awarded a posthumous Presidential Citizens Medal to Rick Rescorla. Rescorla’s beloved wife, Susan, and his two children were on hand. The White House tweeted out several notes on the event including a live stream of the 17-minute ceremony. I have embedded the C-SPAN video below. FOX News reports on the award and related White House ceremony here. Rescorla was preeminently a hero of 9/11. We recall him annually on 9/11 in “A day to be proud.” As President Trump noted in his remarks, however, Rescorla was also a hero of the Vietnam war. Indeed, it was the war that made Rescorla an American; he was a British native who emigrated to the United States to enlist in the Army and fight the Communists in Vietnam. In Vietnam, Rescorla served as an infantry platoon officer. He led his men in the harrowing combat recounted in Harold Moore and Joseph Galloway’s We Were Soldiers Once…And Young. Rescorla’s recollections contribute to key parts of the narrative. 1 [566 comments] 'garrett' [79.45 posts/day] 2 [452 comments] 'TheJamesMadison, Just All about the Billy Wilder movies' 3 [415 comments] 'Insomniac' 4 [382 comments] 'Commissar Hrothgar' 5 [377 comments] 'Mr. Peebles' 6 [344 comments] 'Yudhishthira's Dice' 7 [341 comments] 'Skip' 8 [335 comments] 'Mike Hammer, etc., etc.' 9 [323 comments] 'flounder, rebel, vulgarian, deplorable, winner' 10 [321 comments] 'Tom Servo' Top 10 sockpuppeteers: 1 [62 names] 'update +1' [8.70 unique names/day] 2 [53 names] 'Count de Monet' 3 [49 names] 'Axeman' 4 [46 names] 'Notorious BFD, double-naught Rooskie asset' 5 [42 names] 'Whistleblower Axeman, Who Reads Stuff on the Net (EDKH)' 6 [38 names] 'freaked' 7 [37 names] 'wth' 8 [35 names] 'Cicero (@cicero)' 9 [35 names] 'mindful webworker - glazed, with nuts' 10 [34 names] 'Mr. Peebles' Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by a Heartfelt Prayer.

For a class earlier this semester, I had my students write a paper evaluating the Vietnam War. One of the papers I got had among its sources a website that was pure New Left boilerplate, denouncing the war as imperialist colonizing, blah blah blah. But he also claimed that it was a total myth that soldiers had been treated badly by the hippies on their return--basically, "if veterans remember it that way, then fine, but the fact is there are no verified cases of anyone in the peace movement disrespecting soldiers." Or words to that effect.

Now that Boudin has made it clear that he has no intention of prosecuting nonviolent misdemeanors, expect things to skyrocket further.
It's amazing how many blue city liberals who cheer announcements that the DA will no longer jail people for "nonviolent" crimes can't figure out that that means that basically nothing will happen to people who steal their car, steal their expensive bike, or rob their house. And then they get all upset when these things happen. Posted by: The ARC of History! at November 11, 2019 10:32 PM (I2/tG) Posted by: chavez the hugo at November 11, 2019 10:33 PM (KP5rU) 79

Just catching up on the story about Don Cherry. Typical lib reaction. Kill the messenger without any mention of the valid point he makes. He comes from the same generation as my father who was in the RCAF who religiously wore the poppy well into his last years. Don may have said it a bit rough, but the greater outrage is that this deep sign of reverence likely his no meaning to these people.

I'm feeling good though. This job required me to provide the names of 3 former bosses as references. I contacted them to give them a head's up (one's retired) and they told me they would praise me to the skies. That makes me feel confident about my upcoming interview.

Had an awesome weekend with some of my former Paratrooper buddies, 5 of em and a couple hangers-on who have been friends with us for decades. Lots of camaraderie, lots of food, and especially lots of Oedipus' Very Special Bloody Marys, which start with "a slice of bacon, a chunk of medium-rare beef, shrimp, some smoked cheeses, pepperoncinis, olives, and whatever else you can fit on the skewer"...and then conclude with "oh, and make a really spicy bloody mary fit around this."
Great weekend, we used to get out and to an Appalachian Trail hike, but some of em are getting a little portlier than ole' Oedipus is, so, whatever...it's just about hanging with your brothers.

i was in for the First! Gulf War, and my unit should have gone, but the unit leadershit decided being deployed would be icky, and possibly even remotely dangers (we were an Evac Hospital, so it's not like we'd be on the front lines) and made the unit non-deployable.
how did they do that? we drilled the weekend after Desert Shield was announced. we all figured we were going, since we had just trained on, and received, the latest medical gear (DEPMEDS) but we were told, naw we ain't going anywhere. we all scratched our heads, because it didn't track with reality. the next month, it became clear what the plan was: each platoon of enlisted swine were moved over one: 1st, became 2nd, etc, and 7th became 1st. no one was MOSQ, and so the unit was no longer deployable. (LO: speel check wants to make that into deplorable) long story short, that unit was one of the very first here in #Failifornia to be eliminated in the great "peace dividend" draw down, and the swine who'd been featherbedding it there for years, and who pulled the above bullshit couldn't understand why they were cut.

The harder thing was explaining why the frogs running out of the bombed embassy were strafed.
Churchill had the right idea at Mers-el-Kebir in Algeria, two weeks after the French had surrendered in Metropolitan France. Most of the French battle fleet was there. Churchill was worried that the fleet would be taken over by the Germans, so a British battle fleet appeared, and the French were given three options: 1) scuttle the fleet, 2) sail the fleet to England, or 3) sail the fleet to a French colony in the Caribbean, where the United States would keep an eye on it. The French refused all three choices, and the British sank or damaged most of the fleet. Posted by: The ARC of History! at November 11, 2019 10:45 PM (I2/tG) 126

Doctor Sleep probably should have come out in 1985, while The Shining (both the movie and book) was still fresh in people's minds.

I knew people when I was in college who had not seen classics like The Shining, Blazing Saddles or Airplane! It was always fun to watch it again when it was the first time for people.

Well, Miley's cat encountered a possum. The cat did
nothing but stare. No hissing or anything. Another cat will get a hissy fit out of the her, but that's about it. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at November 11, 2019 10:38 PM (f1Vqw) Cats will fight other cats, but possums are another thing all together. They are big enough to be dangerous and generally they are just passive. I had a young one get ttrapped in the house and it lived under my sofa for a week or so until I finally figured out it was there *urgh* and shooed it out. Damned three cats didn't raise a fuss at all, but the big tom was kind of weirded out about it, in retrospect. Now, I have seen a young possum chase off a mostly adult racoon, so they can be pretty scary. Posted by: Kindltot at November 11, 2019 10:59 PM (1glZx) 170
138 Thanks for whoever said they hadn't been out in a couple days. I hadn't used my car since Friday and it has a lot of computerized gizmos. If I don't start it the battery will fail to start the car if it's cold. I went out and it was not starting. Jumped it. Nice not having to do it in the morning.
Posted by: dagny at November 11, 2019 10:49 PM (nRWPy) Had a similar problem with my 12 year old car. Apparently it has 30 different computers and all it takes is one faulty one to wake up the others. The battery would drain flat in a few days. Took a few weeks for the dealer to track down the issue because they had to isolate each one in turn and then give every other one time to go to sleep. Solved now but it was a head scratcher.

If Doctor Sleep had come out in 1985, Danny would have been what. Twelve years old? That's not how King wrote that character, who needed to have some decades of hard road behind him.
It might have been a Shining sequel but it wouldn't have been Doctor Sleep. I suppose at least they'd have got Nicholson, Duvall and - whoever Holloran was, I forgot - to replay their parts. Posted by: boulder t'hobo at November 11, 2019 11:03 PM (ykYG2) 182

This vaping shit is driving me crazy, I don't vape, I don't smoke, never have, never will, I firmly believe that at the heart of the creation of ecigs was the altruistic desire to offer an alternative to cigs and to develop a reliable mechanism for weening people off of Tabasco products and onto something safer and hopefully off all together, but human nature such as it is cannot stop finding ways of fucking up a good thing.
You have people inhaling non-water soluable oils directly into their lungs for fucks sake so the damage that takes normal cigs decades to develop can be done in a handful of weeks.

Ladyl. Two months ago, I made a trip up to the Boston area. Dined at Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse, on Dallas St., among other notable excursions. Expensive? Of course! But worth it. OMG, so very worth it.
But while lodging at Hyannis, on Cape Cod, drove the day trip out to Provincetown, at the very end of the Cape. Dear God, it was the gayest place on the planet. The Boiling Pot is the traditional lobster restaurant there. Dined, accordingly. Got an ice cream cone at another local vendor. Then got the hell out of there, with the promptness lever dialed up to "11". You know how it is known that a local Muslim population becomes aggressive at 10%, and on the attack at 20%? Well, the gays there in Provincetown are at something around 50% or more, and they're at the Sodom and Gomorrah level of "we WILL 'know' you." It is only that they love tourist dollars ONLY a bit more than the consumption of their own lusts, that allows one such as myself to escape there, unscathed. I've joked about using NYC or D.C. for unscheduled nuclear tests. Of Provincetown, I am most assuredly, not joking. Nuke it from Orbit. It is the only way to be sure.

Lady L, I don't mind possums much, they do have endearing points, but the millions of teeth and the attitude when bothered is not endearing.
The one that was trapped in my house was tempted in by cat kibble and ate sparingly. It also only pooped and peed in one spot which was a relief when I found it. One fall at night I kept hearing the dry grass rustle and I went and looked and saw a possum dragging of a bundle of grass wrapped in its tail, I suspect it was making a winter burrow in my blackberry thicket.

When the AIDS epidemic started, the New York department of public health was surprised that AIDS wasn't spreading faster in New York. After all, they knew how infectious AIDS was, had estimates of how many homosexuals there were in New York, and models that predicted infectious spread, given that data. It turned out that they were dramatically overestimating the number of active homosexuals in New York. If the survey question was : "Have you engaged in a homosexual act in the last month?", you would get much, much lower estimates of homosexuality.

Thanks to Mark1971, who spends a lot more time on cruise ship swinger forums than I think is strictly necessary.
Ace, getting slightly mcJudgeyfaced. lol. Funny shit. I'm glad to see the investigators are closing in on the real vape problem. Most nicotine vape products use glycerin as the carrier, and it is water soluble/miscible. And it has been used for decades in cigarettes to make them self-extinguish when unpuffed on. Glycerin makes a terrible carrier for THC, which is oil soluble. This is why you can test positive for THC weeks or months after chronic use; a portion of it dissolves in your body's fat, and is slowly released into your bloodstream from there, even after you stop using it. Now enters vitamin E acetate, an oil, which will dissolve and carry THC in vaping products. And destroy your lungs when inhaled as vapor, apparently.

The only thing I have noticed with regular vape juice (I always give the side eye to the idiotic boutique products): Vaping is a lot like smoking normal cigarettes from what I have found.
I always noticed when I smoked, my own brand- that I was used to- would seems smooth as hell. You bum a cigarette off a buddy because you ran out or whatever that was a different brand- that shit was harsh as hell. Maybe not to the same extent, but I find a similar case with certain flavors in E-juice. Posted by: Aetius451AD Work Laptop at November 11, 2019 11:29 PM (2B9A/) 266

The breakdown is probably about 15% genuinely mentally ill, 45% pervs who want access to women's restrooms and locker rooms, and 40% scammers who want to (e.g.) play women's sports, get a "minority" hiring preference, or are just milking it for publicity (I think Bruce Jenner falls into the latter group).

It's nice and all that Robert Ingersoll was against Democrats.
I am surprised that no one recognized him as "The Great Atheist." In his day, one end of the Republican spectrum was all "free thinkers," and the Dems were the party of traditional faith. Remember the line given to William Jennings Bryan in the script of "Inherit The Wind," about being more concerned with the Rock of Ages than with the ages of rocks? That is the kind of dialogue people used to engage in on the subject. Only lesson I'm beating on here, is, you can't choose your broad philosophical allegiances based on those on-line quotation sites. At least that's what Abe Lincoln said about Hitler.

In fields like academics, if you are a white male, and claim to be homosexual, that is a huge advantage in getting hired. If you claim to be transsexual, that is an enormous advantage in getting hired. My college had a presidential vacancy, and the head of the search committee expressed extreme embarrassment that all prior presidents in the college's long history had been white, male, and (assumedly) heterosexual. He made it clear that that wouldn't happen again. I posted a comment saying that if a white male applied for the job, the least he could do would be to feign homosexuality. That got censored. The college ended up hiring a white lesbian. Posted by: The ARC of History! at November 11, 2019 11:41 PM (I2/tG) 290

Up until about 1969-70, documentaries about Provincetown still used certain euphemisms about "Unique individuals" and those who "dared to be different." We didn't have the term "lifestyle" back then.
So when my buddy and I were out discovering the East after high school, we figured the Cape was worth checking out. I will admit, Greenwich Village in those days was what a straight guy would call disappointing, too. At any rate, Provincetown didn't become majority-ghey in just the last few seasons. It was very obviously "that way" 50 years ago. Somehow I managed to avoid a voyage of discovery to Fire Island. Posted by: Stringer Davis at November 11, 2019 11:48 PM (oRpiG) 310

We stopped afterwards to get a bite to eat at a local restaurant and a couple of veterans came in and sat down. Before I could do it, a guy at the next table bought them each a drink.On our way out, we put a twenty on their table to help pay for their meal and thanked them for their service. I hope many veterans were treated to random acts of kindness today.

Islamic Jihad, at the behest of Iran, has been occasionally firing rockets into Israel.
So, Israel just killed an Islamic Jihad leader, and Islamic Jihad is now volleying rockets into Israel. One detail: Senior military officials says they managed to target the specific room where Baha Abu al-Ata, a senior Islamic Jihad leader was sleeping, and did not destroy the entire building, Israel radio reports. Why, the Israelis are just like the Nazis! /s Posted by: The ARC of History! at November 11, 2019 11:55 PM (I2/tG) Posted by: qdpsteve at November 11, 2019 11:55 PM (L2ZTs) Posted by: Chi-Town Jerry at November 11, 2019 11:55 PM (438dO) 335

..And you need your eyes examined.
Posted by: SMH at November 11, 2019 11:57 PM (RU4sa) I'm still shooting 16" diameter steel pistol targets at 130 yards. Standing, double action revolver. Those "clangs" you hear aren't the results of shooting by braille. That said, the 500 yd. 10" steel targets at Weasel's rifle clinic proved elusive. That's what I get for trying to shoot with someone else's rifle, with a MilDot scope. My own gear arrives for next year, with Nightforce MOA glass mounted atop, therewith. No promises. But one does tend to shoot better when behind a familiar rifle and scope. Back to the primary topic though. SMH. My eyes are fine. As are my appreciations.

Posted by: westminsterdogshow at November 12, 2019 12:12 AM (/UQ/R) A little frustrating. I don't want a female officiant, because apparently I'm sexist. They just don't feel "real."

It's going to be a small gathering - fewer than 3 dozen, I would think. Maybe 2 dozen. Anyway, I'm thinking maybe we should wait until the house is built, then I'll have more control.

Very cool experience if you ever get to attend one. Free Jameson for all in attendance and as a plus I got a phone number from a hot Hungarian chick that I was tending with. Lots of women showing their womanly wares. Two thumbs up as far as I'm concerned. Posted by: Bitter Clinger at November 12, 2019 12:20 AM (X3ewZ) 412

..Hey Miley girl! How's the wedding plans going?
Posted by: westminsterdogshow at November 12, 2019 12:12 AM (/UQ/R) A little frustrating. I don't want a female officiant, because apparently I'm sexist. They just don't feel "real." But the ones I've found online "locally" are all women.I want something relaxed and more on the informal side, so standard wedding venues aren't right. It's going to be a small gathering - fewer than 3 dozen, I would think. Maybe 2 dozen. Anyway, I'm thinking maybe we should wait until the house is built, then I'll have more control. But we don't even have a contractor yet. Posted by: Miley, the Duchess at November 12, 2019 12:18 AM (NMAzL) Last time I got married, it was by a Judge.

''For instance, every local newscast in LA starts with "Breaking News!!" whether there's really any or not to report. ''
Breaking News really doesn't mean much in our world of 24-7 news coverage. Now back in the day when a program was interrupted for a breaking story it was usually worth it. Now 1/2 inch of snowfall qualifies as breaking news and requires at least 2 reporters live on the scene.

Nope. Formaldehyde is an aldehyde and methylene glycol is a diol. The only real thing they have in common is a single carbon atom. They're about as different as ethanol (booze) and acetic acid (vinegar), both with two carbons, or propane and isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, both with three.

I am proud to say that my father served in the South Pacific during WW II aboard a resupply ship, the Alkab (an Arab name for a particular star). The father's of most of the other kids were vets. One of our neighbors was a very junior naval officer during D-Day and much of the follow up. Starting in the late '50s, our spiffy little development began filling up with young families escaping Philadelphia and Camden. The guys took advantage of the G.I. Bill and were the first in their families to move out to the suburbs. It was a simple matter-of-fact that our fathers and uncles were either WW II vets or Korean vets.

I am of an age -- 29, to be exact -- that many of my friends have had to deal with older relatives suffering from the disease.
I've told my kids to just shoot me if I get to that point, then tell the nice officer they didn't realize the gun was loaded and they have no idea how I got a hold of it. Failing that, just stand me up in the driveway and run over me a couple of times, then tell the nice officer they thought I was safe in the house, got out, and must have managed to get into their blind spot. I've seen dementia up close and personal, and I don't want to put myself or my kids through it.

I just want to thank the Horde for being so supportive. I posted here last week after a particularly trying day with Mr. Schultz and I was Debby Downer for sure. So many of you responded with kind words, prayers and some wonderful advice, especially SockMonkey and MyLifeisInsanity. I think one of the reasons I was so down was because I became very impatient with him. I need to remind myself once in a while that if this situation was reversed, I believe with all my heart that he would be taking the best care of me with his trademark humor and kindness.

Formaldehyde in make-up -for that well-preserved cadaver look.
Posted by: VM's phone at November 11, 2019 11:56 PM (G546f) I think QDPSteve is wrong about the formaldehyde. It's an aldehyde, not an alcohol. Methyl glycol: C3H8O2 Formaldehyde, also known as methylene glycol: H2CO Now the former is used in cosmetics, nail polish for one. Formaldehyde is not (other than it keeps RBG daisy fresh).

Jay Guevara is the Horde go-to guy for chemical names, but I believe the term "methylene" is not considered to be good practice in an academic lab. The "ene" suffix is used for hydrocarbons that have one or more double bonds between carbons in the chain. Since methyl compounds have but one carbon, they cannot have a double bond between carbons.
But "methylene" is commonly used in industry. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 12, 2019 01:41 AM (/sgva) 545

So, I took apart a dead Samsung LCD TV this evening. It had 3 LED strips for its back lighting. Got the strips out of the cabinet, and hooked them up to a variable-voltage power supply. Two of the strips, once I cranked the voltage up to about 21 volts, had about half the LED's come up bright. The third strip was totally dead. I connected probes to the power supply leads, and fed about ten volts to each LED in turn. Most of them would blink once, and short, and the current meter on the power supply would peg out. Two of them lit brilliantly, and one was open circuit.
I guess I will try to salvage the good LED's, and make some sort of lamp out of them. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 12, 2019 02:02 AM (/sgva) 563

This is really freaky and weird.
I just watched a Dutch thriller film called "App" from 2013 about an evil iPhone app that takes over some chick's phone and starts ruining her life and the life of everyone around her: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2536436/?ref_=tt_urv Turns out the app is a rogue AI program that reached self-awareness and was able to seize control not only of her phone but of any electronics nearby, causing them to go haywire and/or kill humans, etc. etc. Pretty decent thriller actually. But that's not the freaky part. In the final scene, after all the action is over and she has destroyed all the phones that had the app/virus/AI on them, and you think the world is safe from the evil software, our heroine gets on an airplane to go on a much-needed vacation, and in the final moment of the film the camera pans over the cockpit door and shows clearly the words "Boeing 737" and then it zooms in on the pilot's control module -- and the evil app appears on it! And you realize then that the out-of-control software is going to seize control of the Boeing 737 and make it crash. This movie, let me remind you, came out in 2013 -- six years BEFORE this EXACT thing happened in real real with the Boeing 737 Max. I have never seen a move that was so specifically, precisely prophetic. Incredible. Because the movie is not that well-known, no one has ever noticed this amazing "coincidence." Until now, that is! Spooky! How could the filmmakers have "guessed" that six years in the future Boeing 737s would crash due to new software taking control of the plane? Amazing.

Rush Limbaugh says the Kavanaugh mode hearings will be the Communist Party strategy in the House this week. An endless parade of lying assholes brought forward. We already know their star witness is big time liar and Obama crony from way back. But when you have the MFM in your back pocket none of this comes out. Other liars are coming out of the woodwork now too. The big question is when will the Republicans start fighting back on this shit? When you have a lying asshole testifying you need to call it out and DEMAND that they be prosecuted for perjury.

Vic I don't think Republicans play that way. The Senate could be doing investigating but seem to be sitting on their hands.
Radio guy Rich Zeoli was saying the other day many Republicans would be all in on this impeachment crap if the Republican voting base turned on President Trump. As long as that doesn't happen, and has no sign it will I wonder at best they are sitting on the sidelines seeing how it pans out. Posted by: Skip at November 12, 2019 03:32 AM (ZCEU2) 592

The RNCe hates Trump. He is not an "establishment Republican" so they do not support him at all. He has to fight all the Democrats, the bureaucrats, and the RNCe at the same time and the MFM hates him too.

The closest station is about 70 minutes away, but there is a nice gun store on the way. So I will probably get a 5 gallon can plus a full tank for the car.

Free internet access must be considered as a human right, as people unable to get online -- particularly in developing countries -- lack meaningful ways to influence the global players shaping their everyday lives, according to a new study.
As political engagement increasingly takes place online, basic freedoms that many take for granted including free expression, freedom of information and freedom of assembly are undermined if some citizens have access to the internet and others do not. People are confusing the USA with the communism they so want. Only in the USA do you have those freedoms. Damn sure not in any commie country.

Was just reading an article in my morning paper saying 5G cell networks will foster a widespread China-style surveillance culture in our country, created for commercial purposes by private companies. The sensor/camera combos allowed by this tech mean citizens will be tracked everywhere they go, by car and walking. Lovely.

One day, with only coordination on conservative blogs, and with PDJT's emails to supporters - have everyone wear a read MAGA hat. And other ideas. I was thinking about coordination to Senators. Talk to them on, oh, say, loyalty to the Constitution, and drop off a letter at their public support office. We need to tell Senators to be loyal to America and Americans.

Sorry, VIA. There tend to be "unorthodox" men who do "rent an officiant too" You can get ordained online for some fee. I just don't understand why if want a completely non religious ceremony why they don't get their brother or sister ordained and they can have a service where they talk about their shared love of animals and "we'll be together as long as our love lasts" without any scripture and writing their own vows, and it will someone who knows them.

Trump! is awake this AM
Why is such a focus put on 2nd and 3rd hand witnesses, many of whom are Never Trumpers, or whose lawyers are Never Trumpers, when all you have to do is read the phone call (transcript) with the Ukrainian President and see first hand? He and others also stated that there was.........."no pressure" put on him to investigate Sleepy Joe Biden even though, as President, I have an "obligation" to look into corruption, and Biden's actions, on tape, about firing the prosecutor, and his son's taking millions of dollars, with no knowledge or talent, from a........Ukrainian energy company, and more millions taken from China, and now reports of other companies and countries also giving him big money, are certainly looking very corrupt (to put it mildly!) to me.

Yeah, that's not going anywhere either. Five different transcriptions were made by professional shorthand note takers, and they compare notes amongst themselves afterwards.

The GOP was fully onboard with the efforts to take out the President in both the house and Senate for the first two years, once they lost the house, knowing that the effort to take out the President was largely illegitimate and unfounded, they calculated that their political fortunes would benefit if they eased up on taking out the President. They are still doing nothing in the Senate, you do have Lindsey Graham flapping his gums about this or that but they are not doing anything to truly defend the President and exact revenge for what the Democrats have done.
