Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (7/15/20)
Quote I
"[The bear was] just looking for food, and then I don't think he [was] planning on encountering me either … I think the message, if any, is just to stay aware, be cautious, you know, when you're coming into the wilderness,"Dave Chernosky
Quote II
“To make a real impact in the world, we need the whole industry to change. Just offering at Burger King is kind of like a drop in the ocean.”Fernando Machado, Burger King’s global chief marketing officer
Quote III
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity. Ulysses S. Grant
Quote IV
“Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wanted to make a million dollars, the best way to do it would be to start his own religion.”L. Ron Hubbard
Quote V
"[Slavery] is this institution that serves as the starting point for the building of the strong economic floor for white America, while attempting to keep Blacks subordinate forever to its progress," Asheville, NC Councilwoman Shaneika Smith
Quote VI
"There are a bunch of idiots who weren’t even born when I was in show business, who want to try to explain to me what’s funny, what I can say, what’s problematic, what I should say, what I need to apologize for. Why would I listen to those idiots?"Adam Carolla

Do you have a big heart and a bigger wallet? Airbnb might be the expenditure for you.
After the COVID-19 pandemic obliterated Airbnb revenues across the globe, the short-term-rental platform has begun asking guests to chip in by sending "kindness cards" that include cash donations to their former hosts — who have seen billions of dollars in revenue vanish in recent months as travel has ground to a halt because of the pandemic. The new tool appears to be another effort to assuage hosts' financial concerns, this time by soliciting contributions from former guests. An Airbnb spokesperson told Business Insider that 100% of the proceeds from the kindness cards would go to the hosts. "In the spirit of rekindling connections, we developed a new feature that allows guests to send virtual cards with messages of support and encouragement to hosts who provided excellent hospitality. If they wish, guests have the option to add a voluntary financial contribution," the spokesperson said.
Wow. Time flies. Remembering Original AC/DC Singer Bon Scott 40 Years After His Death
Talk to non-fans of AC/DC and you might hear that they’ve gotten away with playing essentially the same song for 40-plus years. Talk to fans like Pete Stone, who organized a convoy of bands covering AC/DC along Perth’s Canning Highway this past February, and you’ll hear a deep appreciation for their consistency: “AC/DC’s reach is actually phenomenal,” Stone told The Guardian. “They discovered this formula early on and they just stayed true to it. I think there’s something about that that resonates with people, it’s like a constant known in your life.” No matter what’s happening in the world, AC/DC will always sound the same. That’s quite an accomplishment for a band that suffered one of the greatest losses a rock and roll band can early in their career—the death of iconic singer and songwriter Bon Scott, who passed away after a night of heavy drinking and possible heroin use in 1980. The band had just released their massive Highway to Hell and were at work on their seventh album, the chart-breaking Back in Black. The two albums mark the dividing line between the band’s two “eras”—the Bon Scott years, only five in total, and the 36 years of recording and touring with Scott’s replacement, English singer Brian Johnson.
Oh my a day that ends in Y. A new outrage for the left.
Ivanka Trump helps Goya ‘buy-cott’ with message in Spanish; AOC and the left are up in arms First daughter Ivanka Trump has entered the Goya Foods tug of war, with the senior adviser to President Donald Trump featuring the company’s slogan in a tweet. “If it’s Goya, it has to be good,” the president’s daughter tweeted, along with a photo of herself holding up a can of Goya black beans in a Vanna White-like pose. And to be sure the message reached as far as it could, Ivanka repeated the slogan in Spanish: “Si es Goya, tiene que ser bueno.”

The self-titled "King of Instagram", Dan Bilzerian, now also appears to be the "King of Lighting Cash On Fire". That's because Bilzerian's new pot company, Ignite International, looks like it's about to go up in smoke. The company torched $50 million in cash last year after raising $19.9 million in convertible debt and $23.7 million from a short term promissory note. If the company winds up surviving, it may have to enter a toxic financing spiral that could decimate the company's shareholders further than they already have been.
Minnehopelis, is flush with cash.
MINNEAPOLIS — The taxpayers of Minneapolis will pay a $152,000 bill for security services given to three members of the City Council who received death threats following their calls to defund the police in the wake of George Floyd’s death. The three council members, Andrea Jenkins (WardI guess they get what they deserve.........., Phillipe Cunningham (Ward 4), and Alondra Cano (Ward 9), were granted a security detail shortly after Memorial Day, which cost the city about $4,500 a day and ended on June 29, according to KMSP. The private security detail was not known publicly, until the KMSP Investigators reported the details on June 26. At that point, the city said the cost was $63,000. However, city officials acknowledged the cost of the security details came to $152,400, which represents the total paid to two private security companies: Aegis and Belcom. The firms were reportedly hired because police officials were overwhelmed following Floyd’s custodial death with the demonstrations and riots that ensued for weeks after.
Son-Of-A-Bitch!! I didn't even have a chance to get a Kanye For Prez bumper sticker.
Less than two weeks after announcing his 2020 bid for office on July 4, Kanye West has reportedly ended his run for president. According to a Tuesday report from New York magazine, the billionaire rapper told election strategist Steve Kramer he has abandoned the campaign. “He’s out,” Kramer told New York after reps for the rapper reportedly went dark last week. Asked for an explanation for West’s swift exit from his short-lived, late-entry run, Kramer responded: “I’ll let you know what I know once I get all our stuff canceled.” Prior to West’s rumored exit from the race, the rapper was reportedly making headway, getting his name on ballots in various states and even reportedly polling at two percent in a recent presidential poll.

Police violence is gun violence, or so says Shannon Watts and other gun control activists, but in Portland, Oregon, the dismantling of the police department’s Gun Violence Reduction Team has coincided with a spike in shootings across the city. KPTV in Portland is reporting that the number of shootings in July of this year is almost 400% higher than July of 2019, and the Portland Police Chief Chuck Lowell is hinting that that the elimination of the police unit may be contributing to the spike in crime. Last week, police say five people were killed in a span of 24 hours, including 18-year-old Shai-India Harris, who was shot near Southeast 84th and Flavel. Family members said the shooting occurred after Harris had an argument with her boyfriend.

Under a ‘regular’ schedule, running water should return to this area of Caracas sometime during Wednesday. As things have gotten worse, it can either be Thursday, Friday, or even at a later day. As soon as it starts to return here the word is rapidly spread through the community’s chat groups, the same is done when it gets cut so buildings can get ready and brace for the inevitable. These announcements are followed by a tense moment of intense anticipation, as we wait for the water to reach our building And then eventually… That’s the sound of bliss. When we begin to celebrate the return of something that shouldn’t have been gone in the first place—that’s when you realize how much they’ve broken us. There we are, with our metaphorical legs broken, celebrating that they’re letting us borrow a pair of broken clutches for a few hours/days.
We have all forgotten where we laid the keys. Somehow we haven't forgotten the crack pipe up our ass. The Genius Award Winner.
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — A woman told St. Lucie County sheriff’s deputies she forgot about a drug pipe that an X-ray apparently determined was in her anus, an affidavit states. The case of the 34-year-old lady with an apparent crack pipe sequestered in her hindquarters happened June 12 after 3 a.m. Investigators went to Orange Avenue and Rock Road west of Fort Pierce near the St. Lucie County Jail after a report of a possible impaired driver.

Washington Township officers were called for a k9 in distress. Akela, a boxer/mastiff mix had gotten loose and found herself stuck in mucky water in a local pond.

Someone should ask Burger King why their restaurants are dirty and why they have been crushed by the likes of Mcdonalds, Five Guys, and Chick Fil A. And I am not bashing just to bash, the place has serious issues. The Burger King employees I have interacted with are much less friendly than those from the previously mentioned restaurants.

In all honesty, my experience with Burger King has differed widely between individual franchises. There's one not far from my hometown that is a very pleasant place to eat at; they're pretty clean and there's a sweet old lady who still comes around offering mints. I know a lot of people who just go in to shoot the breeze and do some online work after they eat.
On the other hand, the Burger King in Savannah, TN (just across the river from the Shiloh battlefield) is a place you should avoid like the plague.

Love that quote from Ulysses S. Grant on friendship. Grant was a very wise man.
Posted by: Legally Sufficient at July 15, 2020 10:19 PM (WFcrO)
Grant was extremely loyal to his friends. He and Sherman had a bond that was unshakable. He was no saint though. If you were not part of his inner circle, he would not lift a finger for you. If I recall correctly, he did little to help Don Carlos Buell or George Thomas. That is not a shot at Grant, he was a great man. But he was a man and like all he had his imperfections.

In Mark Twain's autobiography he suggests that Grant was way too trusting of people in general and in, effect, too naïve. I have a hard time believing that, but there is something mid-western about his behavior that says something - a New Yorker would have been more circumspect about who that had as "friends." But then again, Mark Twain hated everyone except Grant, so there's that...

I get the impression that among his fellow generals, Grant was somebody you either loved or hated. He'd had the backstabbing political game played against him so well in the pre-war army (on account of his drinking), he knew exactly how to play it on anyone that crossed him during the war, and did.

Most of my peers (I'm 34, so the people I went to school with are at youngest maybe 30) are nuts about masking up. As in, they make social media posts about how non-maskers are inconsiderate science deniers, and want people to die, whereas they are clearly thinking of others since they wear masks even though they're less likely to be seriously ill.
The generations older than me seem split pretty evenly on masking, around here at least.

I'm all for them going broke, with their fellow corporate wokesters.
But we really are facing a problem here. There are just too many deserving targets, and that necessarily diffuses any anger.
Remember your Alinsky, your people should enjoy what you ask them to do, and you can't let it become a drag. We need to concentrate on very few - ideally one at a time - and kill it.
Personally, I cut Amazon over a year ago. I've been using DDG for about 2 years, maybe more. Since I'm moving next month, I'll kill Verizon then, and tell them why. (But it'd make no sense just now, because where I am the only option is Comcast. That'll change in Aug.)
But if we're to hurt these guys, someone needs to work out a winning strategy. Right now, they are sort of a human wave of woke companies. And we don't have economic machine guns. (Even better would be flamethrowers. I can dream, can't I?)

for sure RickZ. There was a time when i would have said the Whopper was better than the Big Mac by a long shot. The flame broiled thing was a real difference at one point. But where i live you see ten Mcdonalds for every BK and I am being conservative. If what they are selling is so desired, why are there so few of them?
Pizza Hut is another one of those restaurants that has seen better days. I guess people online have talking about how Pizza Hut was even just a couple of decades ago vs what they have become. Both Pizza Hut and BK are owned by restaurant conglomerates that have not impressed many people over the years. Saw what you will about Mcdonalds, but that company has prospered for ages and always comes back when people say they are out.

It's also fairly expensive for what you get, and also seems to take a long time. We can't even make decent junk food in this country anymore.

In all honesty, my experience with Burger King has differed widely
between individual franchises. There's one not far from my hometown that
is a very pleasant place to eat at; they're pretty clean and there's a
sweet old lady who still comes around offering mints. I know a lot of
people who just go in to shoot the breeze and do some online work after
they eat.
On the other hand, the Burger King in Savannah, TN (just across the

I read at another site last night, it turns out that members of MLK's family are sending out the below advice to Dems/libs re how to deal with PDT supporters in real life, through the election season. Just wondering what y'all think...
1. Don't use his name. EVER. (45 will do.)
2. Remember, this is a regime and he's not acting alone.
3. Do not argue with those who support him -- it doesn't work.
4. Focus on his POLICIES, not his orange-ness and his mental state.
5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow.
6. No more helpless/hopeless talk.
7. Support artists and the arts.
8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Check it.
9. Take care of yourselves. And,
10. Resist!/i]

I can't breathe wearing the stupid things, either. I was in the local urgent care a few years back with a horrific sore throat (ended up testing negative for strep but remained miserable for a few more days), and I wore a mask as per "procedure." Felt like I was gonna throw up after about ten minutes. The air felt like it was too heavy, it was weird.

- I have continued my life as I would have prior to Covid in every way except for where I had to adjust for lack of product availability
- I also refuse to fill out their fucking Census. ACORN ended that little piece of fuckulation. And yes I know it is a Constitutional requirement. I will be happy to respond when a member of Congress shows up at my front door in order to enummerate me after he/she shows two forms of identification.
- I have yet to know of a single person in my friend/family network that has contracted COVID let alone has been hospitalized for it. COVID deaths are something that happens in NYC and other shitholes, in my experience.

I'm not convinced it's generational. My sister wanted to go to a department store with her daughter in law. Her DIL wouldn't go because "it's not safe". Some of my nieces and nephews are having groceries delivered because they think it is unsafe to go into a store. The liberals that I know are buying into the hysteria, the conservatives are not.

Anyhow, this particular Menard's said that he, his wife, and their 3-year-old had to have masks on at all times inside the store. Except the 3-year-old, being a 3-year-old, kept pulling down and fidgeting with the mask over and over. At which point an employee came up and informed them that if they didn't keep the mask on the kid's face, they would have to leave.
At which point, the guy looked the employee in the eye and said, "I am a contractor who gives this store about $80,000 worth of business a year. This kid is 3 years old, and there is no way that mask is going to stay on his face. If you want to make us leave, then fine; there is a Lowe's right up the street, and I'll be happy to do all my business there from now on."
They did not have to leave.

It's not wrong. The kind of paradigm altering breakthroughs in math and science and engineering are exceedingly hard to come by.
All the technology in your phone has been around for at least 50 years. It's been made better, and cheaper, and more efficient, but nothing completely different in kind than what has gone before.
There is precious little we know about physics now that we haven't known for quite some time. Every breakthrough and advancement we get takes serious study just to get the general idea of why it is important or significant.
We've got the physical universe mapped out pretty damn well at this point, and it would take something on the level of demonstrable access to a parallel universe, significant manipulation of gravity fields, or a practical engineering application of dark matter to really shock the world and kick of a new era of wonder at the universe.
The Age of Discovery is over, and we're left with a bunch of government funded boffins poking around the edges of What We Know.
The only "frontier" the youth of today have to face is inward....

At first I thought the ideological divide on the mask thing was because the Lefties thought Trump was fumbling the response and they could make hay of it. But, after he acquiesced to all of the measures the governors and mayors and CDC fraudsters put in place, they still kept on with the blind, panicky freakout, and even after COVID was on the wane.
I now think it's because the average Leftist shit-for-brains believes a viral outbreak will harm Trump in the elections. And they want him to lose badly that they actually WANT a killer plague to descend. And they want that to happen so much that they think they can will it to be by continuing to panic as though it were real.

This is what I had been doing, but the governor of Michigan has decided that if businesses and their employees don't enforce the mask wearing, the businesses will be fined and perhaps lose their business licenses. I don't for a minute believe that she will take Meijers or Walmart's businesses, but she will do it to smaller businesses. She's already done it to a barber. Businesses in smaller cities and towns are concerned about being put out of business by that dictator.

Years ago a woman at church had a ministry of having a group of people all pitch in and make a series of family meals. Everyone bought the same ingredients and then did an assembly line of making various meals. At the end of the night you went home with a bunch of prepared meals to toss in the freezer for later use.
Well, watching these people assemble the meals made me toss my meals when I got home. Some were picking their nose. Others would wipe their dirty hands under their arm pits, food drop on the floor and added to the meal. Not to mention coughing on the food and never washing their hands. I only went once.

Merv made the most $ off of the least amount of notes ever.

What I find interesting this time - and I can see it as clear as day - is that Trump is holding back *so* much right now. I don't know if it's because they haven't "named" Biden the nominee or if it's just to early based on what the media still has in their pocket.
At some point - at the "correct" point - I believe Trump is going to unleash a flood like you've never ever seen in your life. Best analogy right now is Ali-Foreman.
That's how it looks to me anyway.

He's not beating incumbent Trump any which way and certainly not by hiding away. I have been saying this week that what we are seeing from the Left is a form of mass psychosis. How they could be convinced they have a shot with Biden is beyond any level of rationality, Chinese Virus and Riots or no.

- I also refuse to fill out their fucking Census. ACORN ended that little piece of fuckulation. And yes I know it is a Constitutional requirement. I will be happy to respond when a member of Congress shows up at my front door in order to enummerate me after he/she shows two forms of identification.
- I have yet to know of a single person in my friend/family network that has contracted COVID let alone has been hospitalized for it. COVID deaths are something that happens in NYC and other shitholes, in my experience.
- I have yet to wear a mask. I will not do so.

I *do* have friends, a married couple, who had it. The woman landed in the hospital (co-morbidities). Both recovered.
I wore a mask once, at the very beginning. I had a planned trip to COSTCO, and there were things I wanted to have, since we didn't know how long or how bad it was going to be. Of course, it was before I realized it was a plandemic and a scam.
I thought I was going to pass out by time I got to the checkout.

the death rate is flat or at a much dramatically lower level, lower than its been in mid-March.
The mortality rate is currently .88% and higher for the elderly, but if you factor out people older than 65 the mortality rate drops to .24% and this is only when calculating KNOWN cases. If 80% has been asymptomatic, never tested or reported the rate is even lower.

during the late 1970s to 1980s, which consisted of 3 notes, exactly 3
and only 3, which had male baritone and tenor vocal only and they sung
"By Mennen" on the solfege syllables of so, do, do (the 2nd do was down
the octave).

three elements:

2) Like large studios, tech giants like spending money on what last worked well, so they ignore new stuff. Also, if you are big enough you tend to squash competition, maybe not on purpose, but maybe by sucking all the funding out of the market
3) public schooling: A) it is poor and doesn't teach needed skills, and b) there is an interesting study that tracks adoption of mandatory public schooling in the US and it is echoed state by state by falling levels of patents, at about 20 years lag
I think the big thing is B, the big money sucking funding out of the world making actual innovations harder to develop

I hear that. There's a certain "obviousness" to the fact that Trump isn't a one-term president that I can't explain. It was the same way it was obvious to me that Trump was going to win in 2016 despite the entire world being aligned against him - maybe in fact because of it.
Then again I was utterly convinced Romney was going to beat Obama and that it would be a good thing. Sounds like I'm an eternal optimist, *except* I was equally convinced until autumn of 2015 that Hillary was inevitable with her Mao Revolution, Fun Camps and other shite I couldn't imagine (like, I dunno, extended lockdowns?).
But that was all a while ago - I've learned a lot about politics, mass persuasion and my own perceptual limitations since then, so you can't lean too much on me for that. This is totally different. Trump wins. It will be obvious when it's over.

I had not, though it sounds as though if I had, it may have yielded promising results.
All that aside, it got my mind to wondering, has the concept of the "secret admirer" become antiquated and more pessimistically associated with stalkerish behavior?

I'm not trying to suggest "history is dead". That was a stupid thing that some idiot in the 90's believed.
What I'm saying is that the low hanging fruit is plucked and what's left is pretty high up in the tree.
The growth of science and technology has been basically exponential for a long time and exponential growth can not sustain. Eventually an exponential curve becomes a logistic curve that asymptotes to a certain level.
Computer technology is a perfect example. It is reaching the limits of what silicon can do.

Every word of that is true. I saw her in the early 70s touring with Little Feat to promote "Give it Up" (a great album) and "Dixie Chicken" after they expanded the band and kicked pervert Roy Estrada out. Great show by all but it was the only time I saw her. I probably saw Little Feat more than any other group except maybe the Allman Brothers Band and Richard Thompson (all of them toured a *lot*).

That's kind of a good example to the contrary, really... we've already broken the massive barrier of "Going somewhere else in the universe that isn't Earth."
Going to Mars is now just "Going somewhere a bit further out that also isn't Earth."
It isn't paradigm shifting, really (despite the fact that Mars is waaaaaaAAAAAAaaaaay farther away than the moon). It's just another place that isn't here. That curtain has already been pulled back, it's just a question of magnitude now.
Also, when humanity did go to the moon, we saw that there was nothing much of interest there, so we never bothered going back. Some neat drilling samples that led to much better understanding about the formation of our Earth and our Solar System... but not a whole lot else, really. So what are we gonna find on Mars? Some awesome stuff for scientists with enough understanding to get the significance, sure, but nothing on the level of "Hey, by the way, the Sun doesn't orbit the Earth, your entire perception of the Universe is wrong".
It's not even that we've lost the great horizons to peer over and wonder what's on the other side... it's that we can't even conceptualize where those horizons would even be.

Why should we colonize the Moon? Or Mars? Or Antarctica? Or even the bottom of the Ocean?
Just because there's space there, doesn't mean we have to live there. That's just some good old 'Murica-Fuck-Yeah Manifest Destiny collective consciousness leftovers.
Look at the Earth.... it's basically fucking empty. "Lebensraum" isn't an issue. Resources are, though, along with the engineering and technology to efficiently extract, utilize, and recycle them.

In some ways I understand. We need information to make wise choices and in this case there is no easy way to tell what information is trustworthy because it is all politicized. People just latch on to whatever makes sense to them and live accordingly. How can I expect my friends to resist the constant panic-mongering?
In my case, I've just gone with what matches my observations. One of my students tested positive, along with several of her family members. They are all fine. Another family friend, who was in his 80s, had advanced Parkinson's, and lived in a nursing home back east, passed away recently and was presumed positive for Covid. He didn't have much longer to live in any case.
My main fear is that when we come together in the fall after isolating ourselves all summer, we will have optimal conditions for a nasty flu season. We will not have had a chance to develop any resistance to each other's germs. And I think the Swamp wants that to happen so they can use it as a campaign issue against Trump.

Also true in CO. In mid-May doing about 3-4000 tests a day. Now doing 8-10,000 a day, with steadily declining percentage of positive tests and struggling to get a small rise in total positives. And a lot of the people being tested now (asymptomatic, patient-requested testing) would not have been tested in April or May. So once again comparing apples and oranges. It's a totally different curve they are touting.

That is an ENORMOUSLY misleading statement. If you're quoting someone else, they should be ashamed. If it's from you, well, aim closer.
Mayor Yarborough lost a lung to disease well over a decade ago. He has been a one-lunger, long before COVID.
He's stepping down out of an excess of caution, in that he doesn't believe he can perform City Hall functions, meetings or preside over the City Counsel, having no resperatory margin of error to spare.
Can't say as I blame him. I watched my Mom die of lung disease at age 54, and they took only one lung from her, but a part of another, too.

Could be that Trump is waiting for China to collapse on it's own. It's probably fairly close, like their Three Gorges Dam. Admitting publicly that China unleashed a biowarfare agent on the world would demand a response. A response that would no doubt have a lot of fallout. Better to let them fall on their own then to put them in a sympathetic position.

Yeah, learned that one about a decade ago, drinking at a bar called the Unicorn in Seattle.
I was telling a story, and used the term "fisherman" a few times. Got lectured that women fish, too.
But a rule at the Unicorn is that nobody is allowed to be negative, even to old white guys like me. So I didn't press it, played half-dumb, and the evening went on.
The Unicorn, BTW, is located in the Nation Formerly Known As CHAZ/CHOP.

One down the street from me. Only went once and didn't like it.
Chicken+spaghetti+rice is a thing in Pinoy culture. I like them but not all together. Chicken was OK, maybe KFC or Popeye's quality. Didn't like the Pinoy spaghetti, the sauce is too sweet. Didn't try any other dishes as looking at the other patron's tables I didn't see anything appetizing. Looked like McD or BK level quality food.
However, my neck of the woods has an enormous Filipino population and our Jollibee does very well so maybe it's just me.

In case you see this....
Chemo is manageable. First don't be afraid to ask for more and better anti-nausea meds. When I finally called and asked if I could take more of the pills than the label prescribed...they said "Sure!" Wish they had been more forthcoming earlier on. There is a sublingual zofran that is the best--works almost instantly.
I found exercise the day after chemo really helped me...Recumbent bike.
And upthread someone mentioned that you might have food cravings. I sure did--sometimes for steak and sometimes for fresh fruit.
Lots of water helps too.
You will do great!

Nobel laureate biologist Levitt of Stanford has for some time, based on Stockholm, theorized that herd-immunity threshold (HIT) for this bug in many populations will be fairly low (20-30%). I think that every bit of data and analysis that has been trickling in since he stated this has tended to support the hypothesis.

Yes so true. The south after the Civil War was decimated for over a hundred years, truly. There were a few episodes of prosperity in a few places in the late 1800's and the 1920's, due to industrialization....not based at all on slavery.
The historical argument for this is garbage. As is the 1619 project "systemic racism" cant. Read yesterday that some group came up with a figure of $151MM PER PERSON reparations that should be paid to every black person in the country...equating to, get this, quadrillions.

For several months I have been predicting that the Inauguration will be the scene of (1) a bloody riot timed to coincide with the Inaugural Address so that the networks can show it on a split screen and (2) a terrorist incident of some type aimed at a soft target, likely either the parade or one of the balls.
That will be the culmination of a campaign of violence that has already started, but will increasingly feature assassinations and bombings as we get towatd election season and beyond. ICE and CBP will be particular targets, abetted and in some cases encouraged by prominent Democrats and others in the media (BIRM).

Related, Fauci apparently told some reporter that C19 might reach the level of the 1918 Spanish flu. Seriously. Well this bug better get moving, it's cookin' along at the level of moderately bad influenza season so far - and that Gompertz curve, unlike an illiterate, fearful, lazy, easily manipulated public, isn't very forgiving.

Caesar some of that situation in inner cities is already a de facto one -

the southern districts of Chicago/nearby suburbs were spared any
festivities in the recent celebration of free expression mostly by the
presence and warnings of gangs (int'ly linked, latino). "Street
Latinos", 2020's "roof Koreans".

I sure hope you're right about Inauguration Day -- that LE is doing the work that needs to be done to neutralize the really dangerous element that is at work. As for the gangs/militias, I see it getting a lot worse than what we've seen to date. Think Beirut. And you're right, there was only a veneer of a peaceful transfer of power in 2017, because the outgoing administration started to sabotage the incoming administration before it ever took office and continued to do so while nominally out of government. All that's needed is an official shadow cabinet.

Nope. America has very seldom been swayed by external problems.
We are an internal looking people. Hell, if people had a CLUE about the real world, and the Racism in other countries, they'd be on their knees thanking the US for what it is.
The Left will not ALLOW China to be seen as enough of a threat, to be Pro American ever again.

Try to remember that though we are given dominion over our animals, we are not given ownership. They belong to God, they always did, they were just on loan.

10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

Really? You don't see the destruction of Freedom, and the Constitution, as important?
wow.... just.... wow.
You do realize that you no longer have any rights at all? That a Mayor, due to a bad flu, can order you to destroy your own Property, shut down you business, and your CHURCH.
Stop you from seeing people, and force you to wear a Mask, that won't really help... at their whim?
If you don't see the problem with that scenario in a FREE country, with Sovereign Citizens, who have Natural Rights GUARENTEED them by a Constituion?
Wow.

guitar player that I was in a few bands with including the very first
one. He was the dude that begged me to join and fill in when they lost
their guitar player which started this whole frigging journey. Anyway,
we had to wear a frigging mask, and it was driving me nuts. I get up to
the casket and I notice somebody laid a guitar pick on the right side of
his chest, so I thought it was a cool idea and I should add one too, so I
dug into my pocket for a pick since I always have a few on me.
Meanwhile the mask is starting to ride up and starts screwing with my sight, and its compounded by my hair which is pretty long and is now tangled in the mask and getting into my eyes as I was trying to adjust it, and as I lay the pick
next to the other it frigging slides off and vanishes down in the
casket. I hear myself say "oh shit" under my breath. I grab another from
my pocket and carefully lay it in place and this one stays. At the end of the night I go back up and there was a quarter on his chest, and both picks are gone. The wife asked what I was looking at. I said I think somebody bought the picks.

In the last week, you have posted some accurate information comparing the Chinese Cultural Revolution in 1966 to what is happening today.
It was really good. Lots of details.
So many things happening here are nearly the same actions going on then. Like a frigging playbook.
Did you do that off the top of your head, or do you have that somewhere you can paste it here?
It really stripped the masks off and IMO, was terribly accurate. Unfortunately.
Your message needs to see the light of day.

THE DAY THE POLICE WERE NO LONGER NEEDED
On August 19, 1966 - Chinese students launched a fight for social justice to fight for the rights of the oppressed in China. It was widely believed that the 'patriarchal system' in China had been created by the 1% and held down women, minorities, and the working class. The students cried out for a revolution and change, and consequentially launched the infamous Chinese Cultural Revolution.
Students put a red band around their arm to stand in solidarity with the oppressed and called for a change on old ideas that they called the FOUR OLDS. The Four Olds were: Old Customs, Old Culture, Old Habits, and Old Ideas.
The movement was supported by the Chinese media.
Mass demonstrations and looting by the students ensued.
Statues were torn down.
Chinese architecture was destroyed.
Classical literature and Chinese paintings were torn apart and burned.
Temples were desecrated.
The Cemetery of Confucius was attacked.
The corpse of the 76th-generation Duke Yansheng was removed from its grave and hung from a tree.
Wealthy homes were attacked and destroyed.
Many families' long-kept genealogy books were burned to ashes.
All of history, in short, was to be removed and replaced. This was the central meaning of Cultural Revolution: That China was going to destroy every trace of its bourgeois (privileged) past and replace it with a new culture built on the principles of Maoism and Marxism.
Communist leaders like President Liu Shaoqi were taken out of power and replaced with men Mao believed were not critical of his reign.
Public leaders who were considered to be oppressive were tried by angry mobs and vigilantes.
Three days later, August 22, 1966, a central directive was issued to stop police intervention. The police were disbanded in the city and the students formed a community solution called the RED GUARD. The RED GUARDS policed the communities and punished anyone who did not agree with their ideas. Even people that supported the movement, but had bad thoughts ("wrong think") could be punished.
Though many Christians supported the movement in the beginning, they quickly became the number one target of the RED GUARDS and public trials were held to condemn them to death.
Many of those that were on board with the cause of the rebellion, in the beginning, saw that it was not really what they had signed up for, but by then it was too late. The power that the Red Guard wanted had already been given.
More people died during the cultural revolution in China than any war, famine, or natural disaster in the history of man. An estimated 20 to 30 million people were killed.
Are you listening America?

OK, time to wax philosophical.
Life will suck. Its going to suck again, the one thing we can rely on, is that it will suck.
BUT. There are those perfect moments. Those perfect memories.
that perfect sunrise. That first Kiss. Holding a child or grandchild in your arms. Looking across that room and having instant chemistry.
That winning game. That perfect bon monte. That time when those who thought you were an idiot, admit you were right (a big one for moi).
You have to chase those perfect memories, those perfect times, to armor yourself against the times when life will just suck.
Because if you give into despair? Those perfect times, those perfect memories, will cease.
We all get down. Most people who know my real life story, wonder how in the hell I'm still around.
But it is to chase, those moments.

Lousagirl,
So one way to handle this is to break it down...the surgery is necessary, right? If yes, then think about how long you will be in hospital, and odds (low) of your contracting the virus there. And then odds (low) of your contracting a serious case even if you do get it.
And then odds (good) that you will feel better after the surgery. And odds (certain) that when you get home you'll be with your husband, right?
Hang in there. God is ALWAYS with you even when you are alone. Psalms have many chapters like that.
When are you due to go to hospital?

Even relatively major surgeries these days they try to get you out of the hospital and home as quickly as possible. Alternatively, you might be able to arrange for them to discharge you to a rehab place if they don't want to send you home immediately.
Perhaps make sure you have a decent CoVid blood test done the day before you go in and have the result in hand (if negative) when you go in so they don't lock you down in the hospital with a false positive test of their own. Unfortunately, any coronavirus can come up positive on a basic CoVid test kit, which means you might pop positive just from having had a cold this year, and not The Yellow Peril itself.
It might be worth it to spring for a "Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase (RT) - PCR Diagnostic Panel", and not just a finger prick blood test. Spendy, but it may give you comfort to go in knowing you are negative.
And obviously if that comes up positive talk to your doctor AND the hospital admin about what the hospital's policy is for people walking in with CoVid. That policy might not be as crazy as we are all worried about, but it pays to have more info, not less.
Just some thoughts.

not to get into it but i believe BTH upthread said he was not going to vote for a Repub that did not mandate masks. I should check up on that to be sure but that is what I think I read. AOP got into it with you, but that is what we read and thought, at least i did.
The op said something about not voting for Repubs, not something about "I want to wear a mask and you should respect me" So that is what a lot of people thought when you made your comments. I thought, that is not what the original post said.
Can't we all just get along? If someone wants to vote all mask all the time, they have a party that is all in for that at least until the election. It might go the way of the Iraq War like when it went to the back burner when Obama was elected.

Posted by: Braenyard at July 16, 2020 02:16 AM (SKXSf)
It's not wrong. The kind of paradigm altering breakthroughs in math and science and engineering are exceedingly hard to come by.
All the technology in your phone has been around for at least 50 years. It's been made better, and cheaper, and more efficient, but nothing completely different in kind than what has gone before.
There is precious little we know about physics now that we haven't known for quite some time. Every breakthrough and advancement we get takes serious study just to get the general idea of why it is important or significant.
We've got the physical universe mapped out pretty damn well at this point, and it would take something on the level of demonstrable access to a parallel universe, significant manipulation of gravity fields, or a practical engineering application of dark matter to really shock the world and kick of a new era of wonder at the universe.
The Age of Discovery is over, and we're left with a bunch of government funded boffins poking around the edges of What We Know.
The only "frontier" the youth of today have to face is inward....
and it ain't like we haven't spent the last few thousands of years plowing the same damn fields over and over there, either.

I'm not certain, but I'm recalling last year in my mind, and I'm thinking that something around the scale of +15,000 rounds went downrange by around 5 p.m.
And then the food and bourbon were served, and it was Glorious.

I can only give you my honest opinion, that is pretty much all I have. To me it seemed like you were defending the guy calling out Repubs who did not enforce mask mandates. I learned very early that it is best to quote what you are responding to just to be clear.
It shows we really don't have a full answer here. I know what i do but it is not a prescription for others. I have a kerchief I only wear in stores that mandate it or I pull it up in a closed area if others are wearing masks. I do that out of respect for them, or simply as to no alarm them. Any other time, i wear no mask. It has been what four months now? I see kids that look like astronauts. This is not healthy for a society. Maybe it is the right thing to do, but I have my doubts. Anyway, To each his own.

Let's see if you survive the Bourbon Hospitality, there.
--------------
Thanks for the invite, Jim. I'm thinking about it, although finances stand in the way.
That is NOT a no, mind you. Just an extra level of creativity is needed. And a wee bit of luck to have a couple of things break my way.
But no, probably won't survive the Bourbon Hospitality, but I've never let it stop me yet.
Is the town Corsicana?

I was defending BTH from being called names.
I thought it was inflammatory and unnecessary.
I agree that BTH is taking an aggressive position on wearing masks but he has been here a long time in good sted and I think he deserves so slack for that reason.

Her voice isn't special, but her guitar work is solid, and the band is tight. I'll be checking out more of her tunes.

You know, just out of scientific curiosity, I made chili a few nights ago with ground beef, canned spaghetti sauce, and "5-bean medley", and added two big spoonfuls of chunky peanut butter. I mean, there's a hot peanut sauce in Thai cuisine, right?
End result: the chili tasted OK. I have made better, but it was not awful. I don't think I will do it again, simply because it really didn't add anything.

understood, and I am no arbiter. I need to look it up but i think the thing that grated was calling out Repubs. I don't claim to be an old salt here. I always said I was passing through on my way to Australia. But this is a pretty Repub/conserve sight. A comment like that is going to get a brush back.
I think you both said your piece on it. We all have had different experiences. I will let you in on something. I am mostly alone. My point with that is I can only go with my experiences and those that I speak with. I have a serious suspicion I had this thing back in February, sans the fever, I never get fevers.
I get that people have differing views and they can be very personal. My only suggestion, and it is just a suggestion, is that you said your piece on it, no reason to burn bridges. AOP seems to have let it go. I am not taking sides other than the idea that the GOP are wrong if they don't keep up the protocols. And what happened to social distancing? I see people with no masks doing that all the time and i believe that is considered to be the number one advisement.

The Thai peanut butter sauce thing never appealed to me. I am sure it makes sense in their culture and cuisine. It is likely about getting protein and making use of what you have.

The Brionna Taylor case . . .
WTF does that have to do with BLM?
That's an instance of police fuckery and asshattery, plain and simple, but what is the racial angle, other than the coincidental makeup of police and victim?
So far, it looks like justice is being meted out properly to the Officers Cock Knuckles and Dicklock, but am I a moron for failing to see the raciss implications???

I bought a pillow from TJ Maxx or some such place made with bamboo fibers or whatever. It is just a good really, it is in the rota with My Pillow.
The pillow purchase I regret was that tv pillow from the Orient made with buckwheat husks. Man, that thing was a joke really. I loved there commercial though, it was very clever. They dropped a lead weight on a tube filled with down to prove down offered no support. Then they dropped the weight on a tube of buckwheat husks and the weight was stopped. They could have dropped the weight on concrete or a tube foll of dime washers and you would have had the same effect. It was clever marketing though.

You would see permanent signs on the reg supporting Trump. I am not talking cardboard campaign signs, i am talking permanent hard wood signs that people put up like they would build a fence.

I gave up on the gloves thing in the first week because it did not fit my lifestyle or make any sense to me. I can see it if you are working a cash register and are interacting with many people daily and you are stationary.
But if you are a "man about town" gloves make no sense at all. If I go into store A with gloves, then what do I do? I get in my truck and do I discard them or spread the wuflu all around? I guess I could spray the gloves with sanitizer but it is going to make one hell of a mess. I tried to use logic the first week and I was throwing out three pairs of gloves on a normal shopping trip.
in the end, I dropped the gloves idea as it made no sense to me. I do used the spray in my truck after leaving a store, but that is pretty much the extent of it, My mask is no mask at all. It is a military headband like you see in Vietnam flicks. It is the triangular bandage designed to set a sling or tourniquet. I can vouch for their longevity as I have had this one for three decades and I have probably washed it 15 times since the wuflu.
I don't worry about if it works, it works for me. I don't worry about if I have it on backwards or when I last washed it. I like that I can pull it up so high that the absurdity of all of this is apparent to some. I ran into a guy in line at the store recently with the same "mask". I was already in a conversation with the checker but I would have liked to have spoken with that guy. I doubt too many are wearing a cravat, muslin, triangular, bandage.

the guy who duct-taped a plastic bag over the head of an 8-year-old girl
and threw her in a bayou, are now attempting to stop the execution of a
guy who raped, murdered, and dismembered a 16-year-old girl with a
chainsaw, then dumped her in a sewage lagoon. A few weeks later, he beat
an 80-year-old woman to death.

These people are hopeless. And what they think they know is so wrong, it boggles the mind. Shaneika dear, please provide proof of such incendiary statements that whites constantly attempt to subordinate blacks. Blacks are everywhere, in all jobs, in all capacities, no limits to achievement if they so choose. No holdbacks. No barring. In fact, blacks get unlimited preferential treatment. It's what they do with that unfair preferential treatment, and so many bad life choices, that determines their outcomes. But you don't want to go there, do you, Shaneika? So stuff it up your backside. And since Repubs passed Civil Rights legislation in the 60s, no thanks to Democrats, you don't have much of a leg to stand on. But keep on bitching, as you sit on your so-subordinated perch on the City Council of a well-known American city.

"[Slavery] is the institution that serves as the starting point for the building of the strong economic floor for white America, while attempting to keep Blacks subordinate forever to its progress," Asheville, NC Councilwoman Shaneika Smith
This makes sense to you? Who broke you?

Whites shunned work because it suggested the double debasement of slavery and blackness.
In the North men hungered for wealth and worked passionately to get it; in the South people were drawn to the pleasures of the hunt, bottle, and bed.
Inevitably, Tocqueville predicted, the North would accumulate the nations wealth, leaving the South burdened with problems of slavery and race for which no happy solutions existed.

If (and it is a very big "if") Trump makes it to a second term, that asshole needs to be marched under guard into the Oval Office, busted down to private and booted out of the service.
Who knew that by showering, shaving and looking for decent clothes I was engaging in white supremacy?

"Si es Goya, tiene que ser bueno." I'm not sure that is idiomatic Spanish. My training in the language is long ago, but I wonder if "deber" -- "ought" or "must" -- should be the verb instead of "tener," which means to have or hold. "Has" in Ivanka's tweet would not mean "to hold," but more like "must."
Good to see Goya praising Trump, and Ivanka acknowledging it, though.

It is? Well, I guess they'd know the proper wording.
On the other hand, remember that ad slogans in English aren't always grammatical. "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should." No, it should be "as a cigarette should."

It really is. And yet, if the "black community" (to use a catchall term) can't be bothered to protest the slap, I really don't see why I should GAF.
In many ways, American blacks seem hellbound to live up to the worst stereotypes of the Klan.

Then talk about sportsball and stadiums and the excuse to keep them closed is "we can't guarantee their safety".
So we have moved from:
'rona is not a problem, go to Chinatown and hug a Chinaman.
then we went to OMG! OMG! OMG! We are all going to die close absolutely everything flatten the curve, then it went to prevent deaths then to reduce the number of hospitalizations then moved to too many "cases" and now we are at OMG! FEAR! as a form of heckler's veto, and the official we can't guarantee your safety. With no definition of what "safety" means.
This will never end.

Kramer probably pulled a Lloyd Braun, taking Elaine's advice, and suggested everyone wear name tags.
Elaine: Wow! You know what I would do if I was running for mayor. One of my campaign themes would be that everybody should wear name tags all the time to make the city friendlier.
Elaine: Well, everybody would know everybody. It would be like a small town.

"tiene que" is literally the same as our "He/She/It has to"
Tener has the same double meaning as our have.

I would go with your first inclination. Spanish is loaded with idioms. I took a couple of years of Spanish in college and idioms threw me too. Even Se habla Espanol made little sense to a English speaking collegian with a couple of years under his belt. It is on pretty much a million signs in this country. I thought it should be Nosotros hablamos Espanol. Our language has a lot of idioms too, but we don't notice them as they seem natural to us.

So I have been studying genetics and the implications from the One Thousand Genome Project (1KGP). Short version: we are all more closely related (within a dozen generations) than we are taught to believe.
I am convinced that when we hear "black", "white", "Hispanic" we have departed from rational, scientifc discussion and are purely in the world of Alice In Wonderland politics. "black", "white", "asian", "Hispanic" are not demographic terms, they are political terms and should be rightly considered as that.
Rather than saying "the black community" which is nonsense because there are many dark people groups - darker even than those in the "black community", and considering that a nuclear family of five in a suburban community where they are involved in church and community is not the same sub-culture as ghetto rat, I would like to think that there must be a better way to categorize (if necessary) the various sub-cultures (clusters of ethics and behaviors) than using purely political terms.

I doubt I missed it, but just in case, did they ever show the unedited video from the 4 different police body cams in Minneapolis? You know, the cameras the media was demanding last time.

Judge: George Floyd Bodycam Videos Can Be Viewed By Public, Except Media Can't Publish Them
https://bit.ly/2ZwUI4Y
Minneapolis, MN - A judge ruled that bodycam footage submitted to the court by an attorney for one of the officers charged in the death of 46-year-old George Floyd as he was being arrested by the Minneapolis police can be viewed by media and the public by appointment on Wednesday but may not be publicly shared.
A media coalition asked Judge Peter Cahill to allow the media to copy the videos and publish them, the Associated Press reported.
The coalition has complained that the judge's order not to publish the videos is akin to keeping the material under seal.

Posted by: qdpsteve at July 15, 2020 10:40 PM
Do they mean the Trump Administration policies that had led to the lowest Black and "people of color" unemployment in history? Or the policies about prison reform?
Focusing on Trump Administration policies is the best way to convince people to re-elect him.

But, what about this? what if you composed a catchier title?
I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added a
headline to possibly grab people's attention? I mean Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (7/15/20) is kinda boring.
You should look at Yahoo's front page and note how they create
news headlines to get people to open the links. You might try adding a
video or a pic or two to grab people excited about what you've got to say.
In my opinion, it might make your blog a little livelier.
