| The ONT's Upon Us![]() Advent My Die Hard advent calendar. Every day when you pull a tab, Hans Gruber falls a little further down the Nakatomi Tower. ![]() Journalism Today
I can't decide which I would prefer. Redskins in the playoffs? That would be wild, but I think I like the idea of the Cowboys getting in at 6-10....and then making a run to the NFC championship game. That would probably force Jerry Jones to extend Jason Garrett's contract, and wouldn't that be a hell of a thing? Garrett was the Ravens' first choice for coach in 2008, but he decided to remain in Dallas. Talk about dodging a bullet! Oh Come All Ye Faithless Growing number of 'exvangelicals' and nonreligious millennials will have dire political consequences This actually highlights something I've been wondering about lately: Is a Western style democratic republic possible without a population that shares general “Judeo-Christian” values? I'm starting to believe that it is not. Yes, Rome had a republic for 500 years, but it wasn't really anything like what we have in the West other than in the general form of the government. Nobody else in history has done it, and as we in the West become more and more secular, we seem to be reverting to the human norm. Next stop, nobles and serfs, served with a hot piping cup of nasty, brutish and short. Hard Read Last night I posted a link to an article by Bobby Jenks, ex-MLB reliever, that detailed his incredible journey into addiction following an injury. If you missed it, I recommend you go back and read it, it's good. From the same site, here's one by Rich Hill that will leave you in tears. I Want to Talk About My Son Brooks In it Dodgers pitcher Rich Hill recounts the story of what happened following the birth of his second child, Brooks, who was born with a terminal illness. Speaking Of Babies We need more of them. Not enough children being born in US to replace population Maybe we should follow the lead of Europe: European nations offer incentives to have kids I don't really like the method they're using in the article, way too government-centric, but it's something to consider. Their might be a way to get the same results without the government just paying for it all, off the top of my head I'm thinking maybe something that encourages one parent to stay home with the kids while the other can support them with a full time job. I'd have to think on what form such a policy could take, however, I really have no idea. Related:
Musical Interlude Good News Trump releases rule forcing hospitals and insurers to disclose negotiated rates or face fines If you want to know how to reform health care to bring down costs, this is where you start, right here, with absolute price transparency. There's no reason that people can't shop for health care like they do anything else. This is a good start, but it doesn't go nearly far enough. Baby steps. Progressives Gonna Progressive Michael Bloomberg: Tax the Poor for Their Own Good Larry Elder on the clip I posted last week This Is Why Your Holiday Travel Is Awful This is a long article (10,000 words, almost as long as a joke I once posted) tracing the history of New York's failure to upgrade or replace Penn Station. Throughout it, the author simultaneously bemoans the inability of government to DO BIG THINGS for THE BENEFIT OF EVERYONE (plenty of kudos for Woodrow Wilson and the idea that “smart people” should run everything) while stating the necessity of maintaining the “progressive” idea that government has to “protect” every little person and interest group against EVIL BIG BUSINESS, RICH PEOPLE, AND (oddly enough)GOVERNMENT. Logically it's a dog's breakfast, but the history is good and you'll be rolling your eyes at the ineptitude of city hall by the end. Worth a read if you've got the time.

European nations offer incentives to have kids
France does it correctly - the amount of money the mother gets for maternity pay is a function of the mother's earnings. Professional women get more maternity pay than welfare recipients do.

Posted by: chavez the hugo at December 06, 2019 10:02 PM (KP5rU) There is going to be time between hospital and going home. Would you be able to surprise her in that interim by decorating wherever she is going to be spending most of her time, whether it's your bedroom or elsewhere in the house? I'm not sure where you live, but if you need a heater there are ones that also serve as fake fireplaces. Posted by: Vendette at December 06, 2019 10:08 PM (6ezlu) 99
Tonight's ONT brought to you by police brutality
It's true. A few years ago, a cop was shot near my house (fortunately not seriously), and the cops blocked off the main road in town to investigate, forcing all the traffic down a side street to a different road. Took me about forty minutes extra to get to work. A friend of mine, who is a gorgeous blond and lives near me, was just waved through by the cops onto the otherwise blocked road. I got the impression that this a fairly standard interaction with the police for her. Posted by: The ARC of History! at December 06, 2019 10:08 PM (I2/tG) 100

Time for the NFL to adopt a college rule. NCAA rules dictate that a team must have 6 victories to become eligible to appear in a bowl game, otherwise bowls would choose big name schools with inferior records to participate. I propose that an NFL team must win at least 8 games to become "playoff eligible." If a division winner doesn't win 8 games, another team from the conference that does have 8 wins will take their place.

The key difference is that was easy to become a Christian. It was harder to become a Roman citizen, but still doable.

some time ago a commenter objected to adding the "judeo" in jude-christian.
Was it me? Depending on what mood you catch me in, I sometimes argue for and against. So again I'll do both. As a religion, "Judaeo Christian" makes no sense. As a civilisation I'd say it makes all the sense. Western Christians have made a serious attempt to understand Judaism; and Western Jews have taken Christianity seriously as well. We don't have to accept each others' faith in order to work out how to live together. And "living together" is what civilisation means.

Christmas decorations in Japan are great. Part of the retail shopping culture-centric urban life, and also the Japanese default of very high quality verging on perfection for things like that.
Was there a year ago, and in earlier years just after Christmas, loved it. Of course New Year's is the biggie for them, so there's an easy "add-on" of a borrowed/oddly adopted furrin' thing like Christmas. Have a photo from last year, big Santa Claus cut-out sign in front of a KFC in Fukuoka - "Now taking Christmas reservations".

Somethings up....Allahpundit finally came out of his Hot Air VIP spidey hole, where he probably sits alone and drinks spiked eggnog in his underoos, and posted some snivel about Trump not cooperating with the impeachment effort and ruining everything.
Either the Salem media honchos forced him out to take his beatings from the few commenters left there, or the Hot Air VIP lounge is an empty echo chamber of 5 cuckservatives whining that World War Impeachment is a crashing bore that no one wants but the Dems and the Dispatch - so they needed someone had to go outside and check if any visitors were still left.

Right? I expected to click on the picture, expecting to see Trump had those gigantic wooden shaker and pepper mill like a boss, and they are smaller than a diner disposable salt and pepper set.
The guest ones are so ridiculous I would look at them and say to the guy next to me 'I thought this was a high class place?' Posted by: Aetius451AD Work Laptop at December 06, 2019 10:21 PM (2B9A/) ------------------------ Those little bitty guest salt n'peppers are designed for really fancy dinner parties where each guest gets their own salt n'pepper shaker at their place. I'm guessing there are the larger salt n'peppers that are part of the day to daily service, and the little bitty ones get brought out for extra guests. The useless reporters who spent actual time on this couldn't be bothered to examine whether there were multiple little bittys at each place setting.

My kids are married with children and don't live nearby, so I don't ask them for help. If I didn't have to put the tree up it would be okay. We have Christmas at my kids houses now.

My stepson and his wife like hand knit socks. I've done them before. I know how long it takes and plan out so I'm not stressed out. Last year, the stepson asked for socks for his wife at Thanksgiving. Threw things off but I got them done. This year,my husband asked for a cap for his nephew. And that meant I needed to do something quick for his wife. And the watchcap is 1by 1 rib on #0 needles. Knitters will recognize how insane this is.
Hat and shawlette are done for them. I should finish the socks for my stepson this weekend. Still need to knit socks for her and a pair for the baby. I call it "death march knitting" Posted by: Notsothoreau at December 06, 2019 10:37 PM (Lqy/e) 249

Amazing the things she could put together. She had extreme arts and crafts talent. She made everything and anything christmas. Wreaths, tree ornaments, christmas style stuffed animals, the works. I have all the stuff now, so I keep it alive for her. She had at least a dozen tubs of supplies on hand at any given time.

SMH, I don't feel much like celebrating this year either. I typically look forward to Christmas, believe it or not, but the back half of this year has just had its boot so hard on my neck that it's hard to get into any kind of joyous spirit, even if it is only seasonal.

The best part about being Russian Orthodox is being able to shop the post-Christmas sales while still being on time for your own Christmas.
Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at December 06, 2019 10:40 PM (Juxur) My birthday is in that time period, sucked as a kid. People were partied out. On the other hand, my wife and I used to do our gifts New Year's Eve because we were to busy with each other's families on Christmas, gave this guy an extra week to find something. Now we do not do gifts. Well, I get her something because I'm not stupid, and she gets me slippers. Posted by: Evasiveboat42 at December 06, 2019 10:46 PM (Rz2Nc) 284

The growing secular portion of American society definitely poses a couple of problems.
First, an atheistic society governed only by situational ethics is the type if society that can set up own sacred cows, for instance Alphabet People, and it's own demons, for instance heterosexual, white Christians. The other concerning thing is that all of those people will be cast into a lake of fire to burn in eternal torment for their rejection of the Lord.

It was ATampersandT's choice to accept Adam Schiff's demand to see Devin Nunes and reporter John Solomon's phone records.
Think about that for a while. A corporation helping one side spy on the other party's members, and their reporters. They could have at least faked it for a while. But no, Democrat Schiff asks, and the Corporate Whore jumps. And ATampersandT wireless is owned by ATampersandT Corporate, that also has owned CNN since 2018. T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint all have deals to switch, if you want to make a statement. Whoever in ATT made this decision should be in prison for a long, long time.

Out of curiosity, when will it be time? (not trolling, really don't know the ruling on the field on this one)
Posted by: Vanya at December 06, 2019 11:25 PM (U7voe) I hope that didn't come across as glib or overly terse. It's a point of minor contention - most authorities say it's something that will be done in the Messianic era and should not be rushed, with some minorities trying to kick it off right now. Most Jews think that attitude is precipitous and presumptive. So - and this is just my understanding - the consensus is "when it's time, you'll know it".

Sadder than all of that + Panama, Grenada, Desert Storm, OIF I, II Afgan....which we are still in all because...

Hey, pretty sure alcoholism is
demonic possession. I can go days without it, but then it whispers...You had a hard week, you had to deal with those people, come on, it feels great! Go ahead, no one will ever know! It always feels good when you are sloshing it down, always. It's only the next morning when you think, "Ow, everything hurts, that was a bad idea." But then the night comes, and you think, "I deserve this," which is the demon saying I need this from you. When you refrain, it feels great that night, and the next morning. But then the demon whispers, Oh, come on, you can quit any time you want to, just indulge me this one time! The screaming never stops.

When you consider that the Jews cannot really practice their religion, what with not having a Temple for almost 2,000 years
The Jews will tell you that they worshipped G-d for centuries before they built a Temple. The whole Torah is set before and immediately after Moses' death, which death occurred on the wrong side of the Jordan. The Temple was important but G-d is more important.

Hey, pretty sure alcoholism is
demonic possession. I can go days without it, but then it whispers...You had a hard week, you had to deal with those people, come on, it feels great! Go ahead, no one will ever know! It always feels good when you are sloshing it down, always. It's only the next morning when you think, "Ow, everything hurts, that was a bad idea." But then the night comes, and you think, "I deserve this," which is the demon saying I need this from you. When you refrain, it feels great that night, and the next morning. But then the demon whispers, Oh, come on, you can quit any time you want to, just indulge me this one time! The screaming never stops. Posted by: BeckoningChasm at December 06, 2019 11:49 PM (l9m7l) Wow, not certain what to say, but if that's the way it is with alcohol and you, do your best to refrain.

Already been answered hours ago but, NO, a society like ours is not possible without the Judeo-Christian ethic. If your rights do not come from God, they must come from men and men will at some point try to relieve you of them, either by fraud or by force. That we made it this far before the attempt was really being made is surprising, but we are up against it now.

Email them asking for an update since I had pre-ordered it. Get reply back that no the item is not in stock yet. But it has landed in the US.

651 So is it a bad sign when you don't care about pushing your rocky marriage harder into the rocks? Asking for a friend...
Posted by: Drink Like Vikings at December 07, 2019 12:09 AM (zWyMt) If you're walking on thin ice, you might as well dance! Seriously, if there is hope for the marriage, do all you can to preserve it, especially if there are children involved.

Success! Me being the lunatic I am, I've been playing around with getting dynamic routing working on my little network. The other day, I stumbled across a little Ubiquit EdgeRouter box. It's a little box that's a pretty full featured router. It has a fiber SFP interface and I'm gonna use that when I build the new house. Anyway, I was just playing with it. The idea with real routers is to set up dynamic routing. Your consumer grade wireless routers aren't really "real routers". Just very simple little devices to interface to an ISP connection. I've got one of those, a Linksys WRT 3200. You can run custom firmware which opens you up to use real router features. It's basically a Linux system specialized for routing. So, I was playing with getting the Linksys running OpenWRT and the new Edge box talking properly via dynamic routing. It's one hell of a complicated thing. But I finally got it working. I was stumped, and it turned out to be some simple little minor timer configuration that has to be the same on all routers on a given interface.

with children and don't live nearby, so I don't ask them for help. If I didn't have to put the tree up it would be okay. We have Christmas at my kids houses now.

Posted by: Ladyl at December 06, 2019 10:36 PM (TdMsT) LadyL, get the tree and the tree skirt up, put the decorations on a table, bring the ladies in early for brunch and have them decorate it for you.

In a nutshell, dynamic routing allows to add and subtract subnets from the whole network. The routers then, via talking to each other, then become aware of such changes and know how to forward packets to get from point A to B on the network. Without it, when you make such a change, you'd have to manually figure out the paths and manually change the routing tables. With dynamic, it happens automatically. I've got it working with IP4, now for IPv6.... Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at December 07, 2019 12:36 AM (NMAzL) 715

>> Lemme know if you want the dhcpv6-pd sections outta my config (email in nick).
Thanks. I've got that figured out. I think. My main Linkys router on my home network, running OpenWRT is the one connected to the cable modem. By default it was just requesting a /64 prefix, and thus could just serve one subnet on the LAN side. I changed it to request a /60, and I got it (I think they'll give you up to a /56, but all I needed was 4 bits, 16 subnets gracious plenty). The new EdgeRouter is just plugged into the main switch on the LAN segment, and I'm just playing with it, creating dummy subnets on it. I got dhcp-pd set up on it, and working. It requests a /64 from the Linksys, and gets one from the pool of 16. It took me a while to get that set up right, but I got it. I haven't yet looked at how much routing info gets exchanged based on that yet. That's what I'll be doing when I get the IPv6 OSPF set up.

I just read at Hot Air that Harry Reid has pancreatic cancer.
There's a lot of things I could post about what I'd like to see the cancer do to him, but I'm much too classy for that, so I'll just stop typing here. ;-) Posted by: qdpsteve at December 06, 2019 11:28 PM (L2ZTs) An interesting buncha information: I have a coworker who has family on the other side of the border, and she mentioned that there is a big market in the Mexican border towns among the desperately poor to sell infants' blood, for a fair price a draining (for Mexico), for some undisclosed use. She doubts it is good for the kids and probably debilitating for them, but money is money for utterly broke parents. I doubt it is for research, because you don't need a lot of blood for research, and researchers actually want controlled sources for the bio stuff they are using. It is that whole FDA and Ethics element I suppose. I do know the first stem cell type therapy was giving infant blood to terminal cancer patients to see if it did them any good (and it might have but they all died from the terminal cancer anyways) but I could see the ultra rich who wanted to stay young taking infant blood infusions. Illegal or unethical, the chance that it might make you live longer would be a powerful draw. However, I know from a friend of the family who had cutting edge stem cell therapy on his knees, that it was strongly suggested not to get fetal or infant stem cells since those therapies were strongly correlated with getting cancers, often multiple unrelated cancers in various organs. Using cultured stem cells from your own skin was considered far safer. I would let pass that yet another powerful and rich lefty has come down with a nasty cancer as coincidence, but those previous ideas keep me looking at it oddly. Nothing more than causality, but it makes me go "hmmm" Posted by: Kindltot at December 07, 2019 01:28 AM (1glZx) 790

There's something wrong with that particular machine's network. I'd guess the card. If the ethernet controller is built in on the mo/bo, then you can't just swap it out, but if you got a spare slot you could add an el-cheapo gigabit ethernet card.

It could be some of the hardware is getting flaky and can't handle the higher data rates. There's these various auto-negotiation link speed protocols, where both ends try to agree on the highest mutually supported speed. The card could be doing that, setting it to gigabit or 100Mbps, then failing because of the problem. Then you set the card to 10Mbps, and it can handle that without screwing up. It could also be a bad cable or jack in the link between the card and the switch/router port, too, which would cause the same behavior.

I'm planning on using the EdgeRouter as the main WAN facing router in the new house. I'll use the SFP port for a fiber link to the old house place (via an undeground fiber optic line -- it will be a maybe 500 yards or so). Lots of stuff there with the folks I don't want to move. Now, the Edgerouter doesn't have a wifi access point built in, so I'll use something else for that. Maybe a dedicated wireless acccess point -- Ubiquiti makes some of those that are pretty sophisticated. As it is now, I'm just playing, trying to learn what I'm doing. What I love about this Edgerouter is how damned configurable it is. It has 5 RJ-45 gigabit ports plus an SFP port. You can logically configure those in any way you like. It has a virtual switch (only one with this class, you can't create more than one virtual switch), to which you can assign any number of ports. And it can do VLANs as well. I don't need that yet. My main switch here, a Lingkys LGS308 will do VLANs as well, and I haven't played with that yet. Anyway, when I get everything built and set up, one port of the Edge will be the WAN from the cable modem, the SFP will do the fiber link, and the other ports will connect everything else, with the Edge routing between them all.

Another bit of complexity with the Edge as a WAN interface is you have to set up IP4 masquerading manually. Much more configurable that way of course, but more learning curve for me. OpenWRT exposes that as well, but out of the box, the default configuration is set up for you. Edge's OS has some "wizards" that can do that, but only for some standard scenarios.

So, I installed the window lights at mu folks house.. but unfortunately I had to go into the attic to for one of the windows and the freaking fiberglass insulation is irritating my skin. Amazing! Only stepped in for 30 seconds to screw in a new bulb but the stuff somehow got though my jacket and long sleeve shirt. (I live a hard life).

Now, the Edgerouter doesn't have a wifi access point built in, so I'll use something else for that. Maybe a dedicated wireless acccess point -- Ubiquiti makes some of those that are pretty sophisticated.
As it is now, I'm just playing, trying to learn what I'm doing. What I love about this Edgerouter is how damned configurable it is. It has 5 RJ-45 gigabit ports plus an SFP port.

It's amazing what eats all the bandwidth. Dropbox, for example, is an absolute pig. As for the AP, see if the Linksys supports AP-only mode. That's what I have my Netgear doing, it's just a dumb access point with the EdgeRouter's hand up its ass making it talk. Posted by: hogmartin at December 07, 2019 02:25 AM (t+qrx) 823

>> As for the AP, see if the Linksys supports AP-only mode.
Easily. As it is, the wireless wlans are bridged to the LAN and it's automatically an access point. You just have to make sure the WAN side, DHCP and DNS and all that is turned off or otherwise configured not to collide with what you're using for the WAN connection. With OpenWRT you have a lot of options that the stock firmware might not expose.

here is how you solve the kid problem -- have a percentage of your SSI tax go directly to your parents. split it between the two parents and pro-rate it so deadbeats don't get anything. Parents on the dole get half or so.
1. It gives people an incentive to have kids, since 20 years later that kid is cash money. 2. It gives parents incentive to take care of their kids since Doctors make more than crack whores. 3. It gives fathers an incentive to take care of their kids and for parents to stay together since that is good for the kid, and necessary for it to pay off.

One of the neat thing about OpenWRT is how it exposes a lot of details about the underlying router hardware that the stock firmware doesn't. This is a Linksys WRT 3200ACM. 500MB RAM, 500MB flash, twin-core ARM CPU. Now, the ethernet ports, including the WAN port, are all one internal physical switch. VLANs are used to separate them. THe stock firmware exposes none of that, but you can change that with OpenWRT. By screwing around the VLANs, you can make a stock router a 2-WAN port configuration and all that if you wanted. It's running DNSMasq, a lightweight DNS server too, and I've got a full featured DNS server for the network. Full name resolution, IP4 and 6.

So you know how in recent years the SJWs tried it infect gaming and SciFi fiction? Apparently something similar happened in romance writing with authors feeling the need to write gay/lesbian romances fiction. When the vast majority of those books didn't sell well, cuz that's not why women read romance fiction, things reverted to normal after a while (Or so I've been told. I stopped reading romances decades ago.)
Well now the SJWs are trying to ruin Hallmark Christmas movies. And Hallmark says it's considering gay leads in a Christmas movie after being criticized for lack of diversity. Does Hallmark not know who their audience is? Posted by: biancaneve at December 07, 2019 04:27 AM (hkMx0) 846
