Saturday Morning Coffee Break

(H/T ibguy)

***

Whoever emptied the damn coffee pot better make the necessary refill. So what happened this past week that wasn't Kung Flu related? Let's take a look..........

Good to see a business booming.

Murphy's Law Chinese style.

Parts is parts?

Move over Florida couple.

Damn!

Is the hot dog a sammich?

If you're a regular you know the drill. If you aren't here it is: These topics are fair game or enjoy this open thread. Be nice to one another, don't pull the 'ettes pony tails and don't run with sharp objects.

Have a great weekend!

Sort of like Basque

Also, sui generis does not mean "generally made of pig" although it is.

30 from last thread:

"And before you look, is it just me or was anyone surprised when Trump said that HE was the one who wanted to OVER do the beds, and vents. He kept saying as he pointed to Birx and Fauci that they told him you're not going to need that many!
What was that about? All along we have all been thinking he was being pushed by those two which is why he sent The Comfort and the Mercy. Now we find out that he did that I guess out of extreme caution."

I think that matches up perfectly with Trump's personality, is not a surprise at all. When he built a hotel, he had to build the BIGGEST, best, YUGE Hotel that would put everything else to shame. Same for Casinos, and resorts. When he decides he has to do something, he does all he can to go over the top and do it in a bigger way than anyone else is thinking of, that's who he is.

31 I was categorized as Lawful Good.

BTW, I have always thought most great cuisines have their fajitas. The greatest fajita other than true fajitas* is Peking Duck. After Peking Duck comes falafel and schwarma. There are others out there but I can't think of them at this precise moment.

*true fajitas are skirt steak or flank, with salsa and maybe some sour cream. My biggest pet peeve is people at Chipotle who call the veggies "fajita". My second biggest pet peeve, but really my first, it chicken fajitas. See, fajita is an actual word that means something. It describes a part of the cow. The term fajita means "little belt" which is where skirt steak comes from.

Sorry for the rant. I feel better now. And if you like chicken in tortillas, no worries.

Lies, Western capitalist perfidy. Health care everywhere else in the world is free and grows on trees. Only Americans pay for health care, which is why America is the worst country there ever was. Also, racist.

I hear frantic running and kicking across my ceiling every day, all day. First thing in the morning and 15-30 minutes bouts throughout the day. No other explanation other than someone is holed up there completely out of their mind. Never heard any talking or music, just loud running that shakes my walls. Been like this for about a year, but for a 6 months it originally happened three years ago with a year gap. I know the unit is owned by a uy who owns several in the building and I wouldn't put it past him that he's stuck a mentally ill relative in the unit as a way to save on institutionalizing them. (I'm pretty sure its a female, by the gait.)

Certainly seems like she could work on the potholes now, maybe employ a few people out on the otherwise-empty roads.

But I'm sure she's working on lots of other important projects. We're so lucky to have her.

It's also insurance. We all know if their was one instance of a patient being denied a ventilator due to shortages or people having sever symptoms being turned away for lack of bed space, the dems and media would scream bloody murder.

had been around for thousands of years, and meat for millions, and this
clown was the first guy to come up with putting a piece of leftover
cooked meat between a couple slices of bread? Balderdash!

What
happened is he, when drunk, was the first Big Shot to do something at a
Big Shot Gathering that the lowly peasants had been doing for millennia.
And that made it OK among Big Shot Circles, so the chatterers got in on
the act.

It is like when people argue that others came to the New World before Columbus. Maybe that is so but it misses the point. It is not about who was first, but what happened as a result. This Sandwich guy had good press I guess.

Just got back from cleaning and dolling up the car, and then cleaning and dolling up myself. (The former is easy enough; the latter is almost impossible.) Need to go out later to Home Depot to find some thin rubber sheets, so I can repair the soles of my running shoes. And later tonight I will order fried shrimp po-boys -- "subs" or "hoagies," to those of you in saner climes -- from one o' my favorite neighborhood restaurants.

How say you?

Congratulations. We haven't gotten there yet; the lowest I've seen is an independent service station that also sells gas, $1.39/87 octane, and diesel for about the same as you quote. They say their gas is non-ethanol, too. I gassed up there last week and will stay with them for a while to see if my gas mileage improves.

79 "I only read this in the early stages and usually prefaced as news coming out of CHina" Posted by: CN

I got it from Martenson at Peak Prosperity youTube ... I think he did say it was from China, but I think I saw it another place. It makes sense to me though, that many are exposed and defeat the virus without going through the "develop antibody" phase.

I have no in depth acquaintance with how that works, but we are minimally exposed to a lot of things that get beaten by our system without us noticing. One NY doctor linked here said he was relieved, that most spread is from closer and/or prolonged contact. And the super spreaders seem to be at social events with closer contact ... church in S Korea, parties with many friends ... hugs and kisses I presume ...

So requiring a certificate would require healthy people to get really sick, same for marginally healthy people, until the is a GatesApproved, GatesOwned vaccine. But minimal social distancing may be enough to stop it, and if the HCQ (or other) treatment is effective, we must get back to work now.

There is another agenda at work ... they want to cure the "Christianity Virus" and the "FreeMind Virus". heh

The food writer Josh Ozersky had a book on the history of the hamburger and made the point that a hamburger between two slices of toast (as made at Louis Lunch in New Haven, claimant birthplace of the 'burger) is not a true hamburger, because only a bun has the tensile strength to stand up in one hand, absorb the juices of the meat and also any condiments you put on it.

And now I wish a had a hamburger.

I'm not even in captivity, I work at a hospital, but between the 'rona and my department being outsourced, I've kinda let my diet go.

I was pretty vigilant all this week, but last night I had bourbon and a half a bag of kettle cooked tater chips for dinner. It was delicious.

170 The food writer Josh Ozersky had a book on the
history of the hamburger and made the point that a hamburger between two
slices of toast (as made at Louis Lunch in New Haven, claimant
birthplace of the 'burger) is not a true hamburger, because only a bun
has the tensile strength to stand up in one hand, absorb the juices of
the meat and also any condiments you put on it.

And now I wish a had a hamburger.

The scenes from Chernobyl involving the coal miners come to mind now. Recall how they were issued masks that they "must wear at all times" when they first arrived on the scene. Then their leader meets with the head Commie and head scientist to discuss what is to be done and why. At the end of the discussion, the head miner contemptuously tossed his mask on the table and stated, "If these were really any good, you'd be wearing them yourselves -- but you are not."

In all the press briefings that are being televised, how many masks do you see being worn?

Exactly.

My favorite South Loozyanna Po-Boy was a fried soft-shell crab po-boy in New Iberia once. It looked like some kind of giant bug sandwich, with multiple legs hanging off each side. But it tasted great!!!

and it fits in with the idea that the nastier something looks, the more a cajun wants to eat it.

229 Yes, I have a tendency to be careful with my money. Until recently, my income was quite a bit lower than it is now. What I've noticed now, with the panic, is that -- gas prices excepted -- nearly every trip to purchase something costs more than it did. The inexpensive house brands and the individual items, like Walmart's single roll of Scott toilet paper, are gone by the time I get there, or perhaps are not being provided at all. So I end up having to spend more.

Dollar Tree is still good, though, and their TP and paper towel shortage seems to be over.

Interesting story why it was made. It is based on the Thunderball novel which is the only Bond book to which Ian Fleming did not own clear copyright. Kevin McClory gave the story to Fleming; Fleming wrote the novel based on the screen treatment. McClory spent years in legal wrangling to obtain rights to make his own inferior movie.

In Houston, after six months or so, about half of the repaired potholes are little better than the original pothole.

My biggest complaint is about the repairs made to separations at changes between road sections. The crews heap-up the asphalt, expecting traffic will soon compress it to road-level (I assume). But those always seem to remain a raised strip, becoming an unplanned speed-bump. I can navigate around most potholes, but a lane-wide speed-bump is hard to avoid on a busy street.

But you might have a sashimi platter with tuna, salmon, clam and other raw seafoods.

Or you have a lump of rice with raw tuna or some other fish on it, which I believe would be Nigiri.

i am not expert or even amateur. But my understanding is the word sushi refers to the preparation of the rice with rice wine etc. Then it is topped with whatever. It is common to top the rice with raw fish as the Japanese are fond of raw fish. But you can put cooked crab or egg on sushi too.

Americans think of sushi as raw fish but the real term for that is Sashimi. Anyway, the net can tell you more about it that can I .

291 Depending on your age V Mom...and I'm not asking any woman her age, it could be repetitive motion stress.

I'm not a doctor, but have been in construction for 40 years or so. I have moderately severe carpal tunnel in both wrists/ hands from repetitive stress, as well as upper ulnur neuropathy. I have a prescription for a strong anti-inflammatory, but mostly just deal with it

292 In Houston, after six months or so, about half of the repaired potholes are little better than the original pothole.

My biggest complaint is about the repairs made to separations at changes between road sections. The crews heap-up the asphalt, expecting traffic will soon compress it to road-level (I assume). But those always seem to remain a raised strip, becoming an unplanned speed-bump. I can navigate around most potholes, but a lane-wide speed-bump is hard to avoid on a busy street.

I don't know if Houston falls in this category but large parts of Texas have very expansive clay soils. Expansive clays and water act about the same as alternate freeze/thaw in the north. Just beats the crap out of pavements and if you are not careful building foundations.

is it the start of arthritis? is it just repetitive stress?

Posted by: vmom 2020 at April 11, 2020 09:48 AM (G546f)

Could be arthritis. That's a common area for it to occur.

Weirdly, the newest surgical treatment involves removal of that bone and your thumb is left to "float" attached to nearby bone by a cable.

Trapeziectomy without joint replacement.

I hand that on both wrists a little under 10 years ago. Complete recovery. Pinch strength (thumb against side of index finger measured by a gauge) was "crazy strong" per surgeon.

He split a tendon about six inches up my forearm and pulled the slit down into the empty space where the trapezium bone used to be. Knotted it all up and then the void fills with scar tissue.

I had osteoarthritis in that spot in both wrists. Very, very helpful procedure. No pain since. Full function restored.

One thing "NSNA" made crystal clear was-

how much the music and typical musical themes of a James Bond movie-

make it a James Bond movie.

Austin Powers felt more like a Bond movie due to the mimicry of Bondian music.

Thanks for reminding me. Checked on that nursing home in Texas City where the doc is treating some who are infected. Per an NPR hit piece:

"It's actually going well. People are getting better," Armstrong told NPR, adding that after just a handful of days, some of the 39 patients on the medication are showing signs of improvement.

The article mentions one death but other articles stated the woman was 89 and had alzheimer and had not been treated with the medication.

I've been on keto since mid Jan (surgery prep). Stuck with it. Lost over 30 lbs so far. Went from a very snug 38" to loose 36" waist. Don't count calories, just carbs.

I mostly replaced bread with low-carb tortillas. Also some low carb bread from Aldi. I do have days where I break from that, but don't overdo it. Couple inches of a baguette with a fondue. Stuff like that. Infrequent.

Beer intake way down. Bourbon is up.

Youngest daughter decided as the lockdown was tightening its screws here that she wanted a sewing machine, managed to get one while the store was still doing curbside pickup. Now all the stores are closed & not doing any pickups. Hate to give Bezos any more money, but the new machine is very nice, easy to use, has lots of built in stitches & features, and has a user manual and online videos.

Maybe where you are located you can still do curbside pickup?

430 Older Singers and Brothers run between 30 and 60 bucks at thrift shops. They don't have all the bells and whistles, but they do sew and are repairable, mostly.

My GF wanted a replacement for the Viking she got in the 90s that died when the power system shorted out and the replacement part cost was too high for her. The new high tech ones we looked at are run by a sort of smart phone looking screen, and I suspect they would brick if you miss an update.
She got a used Brothers from a thrift shop, and I have been using it to turn out pillows and do-rags recently. She also got herself a serger so she is ready to start sewing projects as soon as she gets an area cleared to work in.

I prefer a machine that allows me to manually change the stitch length, so I like my Singer, but I admit that the Brothers' approach to "everything is preset from a dial" is attractive because I don't have to fiddle to get it right.

DC is weird, but as far as I know making a criminal complaint is not a required condition for filing a civil suit against someone for battery and whatever else might go with a sexual assault case - intentional infliction of emotional distress, maybe. However, the incident was in 1993, so there is likely to be a statute of limitations problem in both the criminal and civil realms. Some states have laws that extend the statute of limitations on sex abuse, but that typically applies to minors.

laypeople sometimes think Statutes of Limitations are "get out of jail free" cards, but - as much as I hate to defend someone like Biden - they are a very important part of our system of justice. The reason is because, after a certain amount of time has passed, it becomes *impossible* for the accused to defend himself against the charges. Suppose, for example, that YOU were suddenly accused by someone who barely know of assaulting you 25 years ago? How could you defend yourself, what could you say except "nuh uh! Nuh Uh!!!"

The Founders of this country were well aware of this, because one of the favorite tricks the British Crown used to go after political enemies was to produce some witness who would swear to some terrible crime having been committed by the target 20 or 30 years earlier, and then demanding that he prove his innocence. it's a key tool of any oppressive political system, and that's why we don't allow it in this country. never have.

I believe there is an EU commission that is working on those standards as we speak. Once they get those specs hammered out, I am sure they will be adopted world wide as "Best Practices" as they will become the basis for allowing or refusing access to the lucrative EU marketplace.

Because a Black doctor pointing out that Blacks and Latinos are getting WuFlu in disproportionate numbers and a quite a few people in those communities have the key pre-existing conditions (like high blood pressure and Type 2 Diabetes) so it's a good idea to make some lifestyle changes like eating better, stopping taking drugs, and quitting drinking.

projects is to find the parts to convert it back to treadle-power.

You most likely just need a belt if the wheel is still in place. My wife's treadle machine is a White from 1910. Also helps if the treadle foot pad is still there.

treadles. I have a Necchi Supernova that is a nice machine but the cams
won't work. You could check Facebook marketplace, if the thrifts are
shut down. I haven't checked Goodwill online, but they have pickup in
some areas, if you win the auction.

I have a Necchi that my mom got when she was a kid. Its from the early 1950's. I don;t know what they call it, but it has free standing cabinet it tucks away in, not a table top. I know absolute squat about it.

Chili con carne? Carne (or 'car' for short) is, of course, Spanish for meat.

If you're meat's past it's prime, you're going for chili con car-rot.
