Saturday Overnight Open Thread (7/25/20)
Finally I got around to doing it while Julie was out shopping.
After finishing I left to take care of another matter before she returned.
She came home and prepared to take a shower.
Before getting in the shower she got undressed and then sat on the toilet.
As she tried to stand up she realized that the not-quite-dry epoxy paint had glued her to the toilet seat.
About that time I got home and realized her predicament.
We both pushed and pulled without any success whatsoever.
Finally in desperation I undid the toilet seat bolts.
Julie wrapped a sheet around herself and I drove her to the hospital emergency room.
The ER Doctor got her into a position where he could study how to free her (Try to get a mental picture of this.).
Julie tried to lighten the embarrassment of it all by saying, "Well, Doctor, I'll bet you've never seen anything like this before."
The Doctor replied, "Actually I've seen lots of them... I just never saw one mounted and framed."
H/T Hrothgar
Men used to take pride in fighting prowess. Being able to defend yourself and your loved ones was something to celebrate. It was part of your job as a man. Today, it’s a sign of toxic masculinity, something that we are supposed to want to give up. Competitiveness, stoicism, dominance, and aggression, are characteristics identified as “traditional masculinity” in recent guidelines released by the American Psychological Association, elements that are deemed, “on the whole, harmful.” The day these guidelines were released, I watched men compete with each other, choke each other out, physically and aggressively, then walk off the mat and hug each other. I saw men offer compassion, connection, kindness, to the men they’d just physically attacked and been attacked by. Brotherhood was born from the very components we are told to abandon.
Why Bigfoot and the 'Abominable Snowman' Loom Large in the Human Imagination
Bud Jenkins and his wife were living on far reaches of the small town of Fort Bragg, California, just on the edge of a vast coastal redwood forest, when it happened. On February 7, 1962, Jenkins’s wife’s brother Robert Hatfield, a Crescent City logger, had stepped outside the house around 5:30 in the evening when he heard the Jenkins’s dogs barking. Looking to see what was causing the commotion, Hatfield turned and saw a creature standing “chest and shoulders above a 6-foot-high fence” at the back of the property. “It was much, much bigger than a bear,” he later recalled. “It was covered with fur, with a flat, hairless face and perfectly round eyes.”

The new Bronco is a nice looking rig.
I just checked, it comes with the 2.3L or the 2.7L turbocharged Ecoboost engines, which are the latest and greatest from Ford for maximum mileage and power for much of their line up.
So the Vice nonsense is just that.
IMO, "Green" doesn't mean ecological any more. It means "anti-American". Their anger is usually directed at something only America does well, and to shut it down, "going green" hurts the country somehow, but brings none or very little actual benefit.

If you want to go green in automobiles, in my opinion, you should buy a used car. It's probably worse for the environment to buy a Tesla that is chock-full of brand new rare earth metals and tons of LiOn batteries than an old Subaru that has been around for twenty years, and has probably been less environmentally harmful during its entire useful life.

I can't recall a single Reagan reference in Trump's ads. I cannot recall Trump ever saying much about Reagan, except as a better Repub Prez than the Bushies.
Can anyone else?
Now, Trump likes to use images of the Flag, and so did Ronnie. Is that what they mean?

Thing had no power, had no features (but did have push button 4 wheel drive). Put some bigger wheels and tires on it. It was hit pretty good 3 times (totaled once), repaired each time to almost good as new. Was only 18 when I got it, have some of my best car related memories in that thing.
Badly want one of the new 4 doors. Maybe wait for the Bronco "Raptor" and really piss off Mother Earth.

Ask your home insurance firm for recommendations. I did when my roof was trashed by a big hailstorm.
USAA delivered, and my replacement roof gave me a discount on home insurance.

This is a link to a story by the Other Ace at Blind Gossip. Larry Hogan supposedly had two Trump cabinet secretaries try to talk him into running in the Republican primary against Trump.
If true, I'd say that Mike Esper and Gina Haspell spoke to him. I don't believe that, however.
The funny thing about the article, however, are the comments. This is a gossip site, for crying out loud, and the majority of the comments on it are pro-Trump.
This says something to me about the Silent Majority that is looking at Burn Loot Murder and making up their minds already about 2020.

Sorry to hear that.
My roof would have been prorated based on age, but when I moved I asked the underwriters what Kansans claim the most. Hail damage was the answer. So I had a special codicil on roof repairs, with a much lower minimum that the rest of the house.

______-
We had a hail storm here 2 months ago. Didn't seem too bad compared to the ones we had in OK. Lot of roofers knocking on our door and a lot of neighbors getting new roofs. We asked our agent if he knew an honest roofer that he would trust and he gave us a contact. Guy came out and said roof had enough damage to replace, but if we wanted to we could patch and maybe get 4 more years out of it. We have a flat deductible so better to replace now. Roofer said they could do the job in October. We had a similar referral from our agent for roof work as well. We've had good agents with our insurance company.

Check your policy carefully. It will pronounce one of two types of coverage.
Actual Cash Value. Per your statement, this would reflect that, prorated for age.
How. Ev. Errrrrr.
If it says "Replacement Cost Value", then you have FULL COVERAGE on your roof, BUT, the initial payout will be the Actual Cash Value of the roof in it's present state. After the job is complete, you then turn in all the paperwork to be funded with what is called "Recoverable Depreciation."
Don't depend soley upon your Insurance Agent or their Adjuster to explore these languages for you. Ask your roofer, as they've seen 1,000s of these contracts, and they know stuff.
Much of which is often knowledge of insurance trickery, likely worth thousands of dollars to you.

It seems that there has to be something effective we could do. I wish I had Trump's juditsu (sp?) skills - - using an opponent's strength against him. I'm thinking the thing to do is to write the county commissioners and the city council and ask if we can declare independence.

The original Bronco was Ford's answer to the CJ series of Jeeps, and every bit as basic as them.
And Ford built actual Jeeps during WWII. MB was the Willys Jeep, and GPW was the Ford one. Parts were interchangeable.

Yes, they did. It was about a song that Kate Smith sang in a duet with Paul Robeson: "That's why Darkies were born". Paul Robeson was a black civil rights icon. He was also a unrepentant Stalinist. The song was NOT racist by any means but in fact mocked it. We live in stupid times.

They claim to have everything imaginable, just like Bezos' site, and shipping for most items is $2.99, but you can get their version of Amazon Prime, called Yangtze Choice, for free forever. All you have to do is agree to have a Huawei-made chip permanently installed in the back of your neck.
Also, while Amazon only has one Prime Day a year, Yangtze is claiming they're going to have one ever week, which they call Tiananmen Tuesdays. Said the official spokesperson for Yangtze, "Tiananmen Tuesday deals are so incredible, they could stop a tank!"

Second worst are the nose-heavy V8 Jeep CJ and Cherokees, followed by full size C5 Bla*ers and OJ Simpson vintage Broncos.
What works? Balanced for power & weight. Jeep's legendary 4 liter straight six. Ford's 300 cubic inch straight six.
The new Bronco has the right engine choices, and that 2.7 is amazing for it size.
I've read that Ford has had to put the Bronco assembly line on double shift now, just to keep up with demand.
I blame Trump for this, of course.

Also, while Amazon only has one Prime Day a year, Yangtze is claiming they're going to have one ever week, which they call Tiananmen Tuesdays. Said the official spokesperson for Yangtze, "Tiananmen Tuesday deals are so incredible, they could stop a tank!"

A few years back when I was doing my last real factory ammo buy (I think before a new idiotic CA law came into effect) I switched my 9mm self-defense ammo from Gold Dot (147g) to Federal HST, also 147g. I had always used Gold Dot, but before I did my last big specialty ammo buy for all 3 calibers (9, 45, 3
I looked around.
As I recall, Gold Dot 45ACP/230 grain performance was comparable to HST and all the others, so I stayed with it. The 9mm performance was noticeably better, so I switched to HST. Also for 38, although for that I also have some Hornady Critical Defense.
I think I used Lucky Gunner's ballistics data and analysis to switch to HST. Supplemented by other online research.
For shotgun, I've got Hornady law enforcement low-recoil buckshot, and Royal Somethingorother (Spanish manufacturer) low-recoil slugs.

Warning about the latest Windows 10 version, "2004". I installed it on my newest custom build machine, and it's been nothing but trouble. I'm getting a BSOD at least once every 12 hours. It's driver problems, near as I can figure.
I installed on an HP laptop, and that has been running fine. But on the other one, it's a dog. I'm getting enough of the BSODs -- had some hard drive corruption due to it, and I'll revert back to 1809 if they don't get this fixed.
So beware of 2004 if you're thinking about playing with it.

Same here.
Every Republican Congressional candidate here (FL-19) is falling over him- or herself running toward Trump.
In fact they can't run fast enough toward him.
Going by the yard signs and boat flags in the city, what's been most interesting to observe is the enormity of the level of Trump support, which seems to be even more intense than 2016.
One of the African-American families up the street has a flag in their yard: "Trump 2020 - No More Bulls**t"

Driving through Seal Beach, I caught a few young (and yes, white) young adults (they looked a bit older than teens) trying to have what I guess what was a mini-protest, and waving around "BLM" signs. They also had their masks on, of course.
But when I drove by *again* about 15 minutes later? There was an older (mid-40s) woman, either hispanic or white, NOT in a mask, who looked like she was arguing with and shaming the BLM girls. And the BLM girls looked, frankly, kind of cowed and at a loss for words.
I hope that the narrative I perceived is what really happened, but who knows. Still, I found it interesting (and entertaining) on a Saturday here in SoCal.

Lucky Gunner's results are what I was looking at just now. I've always used Hornady 115 FTX Critical Defense for 9mm based on their expansion results and others' (and availability). I hadn't settled on a .45 load yet, but I have some Critical Duty +P on the way so I'll see how that feeds. Looks like the Winchester Ranger T-Series is hen's teeth lately.

But I do think, that if things go as I currently expect in November, the margins of defeat in CO, OR, WA, and even CA will be much, much smaller than last time - even fairly close in some of those places. With possible effects down-ticket.
The totalitarian-ish atmosphere that's been growing for years, and spiked in the last few months during the national racism and civic culture immolation festival, surely has made the "shy Tory" effect much greater. Thus the voting results should paint quite a contrast with "polling", even more than last time.

I looked that up -- the two navels. Young Mariette was quite the hottie.
Gene Rodenberry loved to slut 'em up. A man after my own heart. His wardrobe philosophy was to adorn the babes with something impossible looking. The idea was to make you think it was going to fall off at any second and keep your eyes glued.
And they did have wardrobe malfunctions on set. There's a famous still of Kirk, Spock, and Bones all with shit-eating grins on their phases. Such a malfunction had just happened, and some boobs popped out. Nimoy went out of character.

Covid statistics are garbage. Way, way overstated. And now, local news reporters are actually doing their jobs.
Palm Beach County, Fl.
Of the 581 deaths on the spreadsheet, only 169 deaths are listed as COVID without any contributing factors.
https://tinyurl.com/y2ouxnwy
From their website:
The CBS12 News I-Team uncovered several examples in Medical Examiner reports of people counted as a COVID death who did not die of COVID.
We requested a list of all COVID-19 deaths in Palm Beach County from the Medical Examiner's office and received a spread sheet of 581 cases.
Each person on the spreadsheet is someone who tested positive for COVID-19.
In each case line, the person's cause of death and contributing causes of death are listed, if there are any.
The I-Team found eight cases in which a person was counted as a COVID death, but did not have COVID listed as a cause of contributing cause of death.
"I think it is completely misleading," said Rachel Eade, a Palm Beach County resident who has been researching the same issue.
"We need to remove those cases that are not COVID exclusive, and we need to be giving people that information," said Eade, who is one of the plaintiffs suing Palm Beach County for its mask mandate.
She said of the 581 deaths on the spreadsheet, only 169 deaths are listed as COVID without any contributing factors.

Cycles. Hope it gets better. Mindfulness can be very helpful. I have a technique that is like mindfulness but better. But mindfulness itself is very calming. The problem with it is that it feels very stupid for the first 30 seconds and you have to stick with it. Then you feel better and it's mindblowing. Again, my technique is actually better but it's a long description and I won't bother if you're not interested.
OTOH, mindfulness just involves concentrating as much as you can on what is happening in the current moment. What sounds you hear, what you can feel on your skin, what the air feels like as you breathe. You keep noticing and concentrating on these things. It's very easy to do, but like I said the hallmark of it is that you feel incredibly stupid doing it and then suddenly - and surprisingly quickly - you feel better. If it doesn't feel stupid at first you are not doing it right!

what people don't realize is that most people who die of "natural causes" die of the common cold. The rhinovirus will kill you if you are too old to have a fully functional immune system. This year covid-19 is going around doing all of the dirty work. People with compromised immune systems (hereditary, cancer treatments, HIV) have always had to be extra cautious to avoid getting a cold.

The Leftist fix is in.
In Seattle, there is a big riot, er, "demonstration" essentially where CHOP is this afternoon.
It was peaceful early in the day.
Then, about 3pm, the demonstrators turned into rioters. Once again smashing some windows, and throwing things at cops. At least 3 cops were injured. And a construction site in the area, completely surrounded by heavy chainlink fencing, had been set afire and there were 3 portable offices and storage sheds were on fire, blazing. The partially build multi-story building was starting to catch fire.
The only surprising thing was that Seattle cops actually fought back.
Watching this after 5pm on the local news. and there was an "expert" man that apparently has been an ongoing consultant for them, some police background, but judging by his words, no friend of any police department.
The expert was mostly concerned that Federal agents were somewhere, and these agents were the big problem. No Federal agents could be seen.
And he kept going on about the peaceful protesters, blah, blah, blah, as the construction site blazed along. The "expert" never mentioned the fire, but those dang hidden Federal agents were the cause of the problems, he claimed.
This was the NBC affiliate's 5pm broadcast.
Nope, not voting our way out of this. That was pure false propaganda.

There are virtually no stores in my area who will let you enter without a mask now. I was happily mask-free until a week and a half ago. Now I park, roll my eyes, put on the mask which has been sitting on the passenger seat of my car for 5 months and think "OK, now it's time for mask theater. I don't think this damn thing protects me or anybody else - but people feel sooooo good and safe when they see I have it on!!"

As with many things, the level of reporting on this varies by jurisdiction (that is, the detail reported to the public, not to CDC/HHS). But anywhere there *is* a detailed breakout ..... it tends to show pre-existing medical problems in 90%+ of the fatalities.
A few days ago, San Diego County's stats showed 95% of C19 dead had prior medical conditions.
The main "so what" of all this? The infection fatality rate (IFR), what is really meant by how "deadly" any disease is ...... looks like it will fall below that of average influenza. Numerator (deaths) over denominator ("cases"). Of course there's a whole separate collection of problems with "cases", too.
Just the latest - this week it has been concluded that people can test positive up to *3 months* after being infected. Since most never develop symptoms, this means many many "positives" now reflect asymptomatic infection as far back as early May.
And on, and on. Lags, double/triple counting, test accuracy, dates of onset or of deaths*, definition of "case", problem of death "from" vs. death "with".
* one twitterer breaks out daily FL death totals - lately less than 10% of the deaths actually occurred on the day of the "daily" report

My reply to you in that thread was in the Willow'd of late replies.
But I've thought more of our brief exchange as to re-purposing "water bombers" for riot control purposes.
All of those airframes are far too large for urban purposes.
I have thus refined the perfect airframe for the job. Which to the rest of you, is using a "water bomber" to air-drop a load of 100% pure Capscasin Oil on the heads of rioters, below.
That plane shall be a DeHaviland "Otter", fitted with suitable tanks, ducts and delivery outlets.
The mission is hereby named the: "Otter Surprise".

Now. Equip the plane with Vietnam Era airborne loudspeakers, to play a very loud PPPPHHHBBBBTTT !!! sound as the fluids are deployed.

Posted by: Cicero (@cicero) at July 26, 2020 01:04 AM (wPVhA)
My brain ain't bringing it, but I'll do the research.
But my teacher was Miss Clark, and she drove a new '68 Camaro R/S convertible. Yellow, black top and stripes.
She was not as hot as her car.
P.S. Our "classroom" for the year, was the school's auditorium stage, behind a closed curtain. If the Band or such needed the stage that evening, we had to "secure everything" so the Janitorial Staff could shuffle our desks, the teacher's desk and all the various cabinets and stuff off to "Stage Left" or such.
First school fight I ever got into there, too. School's biggest bully had targeted me, and I rehearsed and rehearsed my moves in response.
I did not kick his ass. I did embarrass him beyond his ability to overcome, though. I wasn't bothered there ever again, but I was only there for that one school year, anyway.

1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Signs for it were still there as of a few years ago. Didn't go to the park so I can't say if it's still in operation or not.

Second Grade. Gilbert Elementary School.
We lived in apartments at the intersection of Western Ave & Knotts Blvd.
I watched 'em build the replica of Independence Hall, across from the rowing pond. Even at my young age then, I could rent a heavy wooden rowboat, no PFDs, and chase the ducks in that boat to my heart's content and the exhaustion of my then skinny arms.
Knotts did not yet have a fence in those days.
Mom, Dad, Brother and me, would saunter over to Knotts to take in some sights, and on Special Occasions, partake in a Cherry Pie, or if such as a Birthday or such, a Fried Chicken Dinner in the Knott's Restaurant.
The Knotts family still ran the place then, and they were ancient to me in my youth, them being in their forties or such.
It was a far more magic time than today.

Everyone knows Marineland and Corky the pilot whale.
San Pedro has Fisherman's Wharf, I think they call it. Original name, right? It has some restaurants and shops. I went there a few times with my parents.
There were two coastline amusement parks -- The Pike in Long Beach, a grimy Coney Island sort of place, and the much nicer Pacific Ocean Park in much nicer Santa Monica. POP closed ages ago, I remember going when I was about five.

Do you remember the guy at the alligator place with the arm missing below the elbow?
Tammy, Marineland, oh yes. And once, on the way back, I remember the Nike SAM site with missiles (or practice rounds, who knows) on the rails, above ground, launch position, along the road just south of Marineland. Could swear I read online a few years back that a group had restored the air defense site for visiting, including having the disappearing launchers restored and working, but now I can't find anything about it.
And Varno - all of Nara is a "deer park", they wander around everywhere, there are vendors selling food to feed them - most people find it all obnoxious. I think, like the monkeys in that Thai town, they have been starving during the lockdowns/no tourism.

If you hold out the deer cookie and bow, you can usually get the deer to bow back.
Deer muggings are common as some of the deer are bigger than little kids holding the deer food.

My late, besainted Mom was enraptured of that place. We could afford to go, exactly twice.
And yes. The deer muzzles were greedy, wet velvet on the palm, eagerly seeking out only that sweet feed corn, and your cupped gai-jin palm be damned in the quest.
For the deer, it was all about the corn, and only the corn.
I suppose the breaking point for that park was when Masturbating Pete poured a gallon of that corn down his pants and looked forward to the blissful conclusion?

I dimly remember the Pike. What I remember most was that the entire area was kinda seedy. If this stood out to a 4 year old, I imagine it was pretty bad! One of my aunt's lived downtown, and we visited once. She was there one day when some guy got decapitated on the roller coaster. (And I was at Knotts the night when someone committed suicide by jumping off the ride that used to take you up in a little metal bucket thingee)
They did a great job cleaning the downtown Long Beach area up. I worked at The World Trade Center there for many years.

Me too. I used to walk for hours, often in the freezing cold, in a town forest near my home in MA. The small Downy and Hairy woodpeckers were common, but larger species, were rarer, and more shy. Whenever I saw a larger one, it was always a fleeting glimpse-but I always imagined it was the not so long extinct Ivory Billed.

I don't remember it, though. And I should, we visited the area a lot when I was a kid. Perhaps the adult females in my Southern family had better sense than to pay cash money to look at gators?!

Got himself arrested, skipped bail, decided to stop in to visit my Aunt Chloe on his way back home, and got there just in time for Hurricane Betsy and damn near got arrested again in the aftermath when the Red Cross started charging people 5 bucks for a cup of coffee and a doughnut.
Mama still goes pale when anyone mentions 1965.....

Picture if you will, every Active Duty Sailor and Marine in that station, with a Loaded and Chambered Garand leaning against their desks.
While they were still dialing (yes, really) the phones, chasing down prospects and leads to "volunteer" for the Navy, before the Draft Boards randomed up their numbers.
They deployed out of the Watts Station precisely ONCE, and took position behind stacked sandbag barricades.
Riots evolved more than 1/2 block away, thereafter.

Public education is only the way it is because parents/the rest of us *allow* it to get that way.
It *wasn't* always this way - not by a long, long, long shot.
So "the parents" are how much likelier, on average, to do a better job than many public schools do now?

Sounds like a Southerner to me. His mama and daddy (or grandparents maybe) probably got run out of their ancestral home for some sort of clash with the law, or maybe just pure cussedness.

My late and great friend who was a USMC/Guadalcanal/WWII vet talked about how large sections of LA were off-limits due to the Zoot Suit Riots, which occurred when he was back from Canal, at El Toro, before heading out with another squadron (ordnance, master sergeant ..... at 20 .... he got his haircut at MCRD in November 1941 - timing is everything).

We read of the zoot-suit riots when I was but in the 4th grade.
I've studied it much more, later.
Its far more complicated than the texts provide. Best I can make of it, the suits were Hispanic Libertines, chafing under all of the prohibition-type restrictions of their time.
They pulled the cork from their situational bottle.
The State hammered that cork back in, with a vengeance.
Pity was/is. That "Libertine" vibe, also tends to be a pretty hardcore lawbreaking vibe. And that's what muddies the historical waters.

Unfortunately a few of the organizers of my favorite handgun match have them, and now allow people to shoot those as 2nd guns in the match. So now, a squad of 14 takes as much time as a squad of 18 to shoot a stage. Plus - why TF would you use any PCC in a handgun match?

Hmmm, (excluding state and local spending) (and including higher education), I just turned up a number for annual federal education spending of $4.71 trillion.
I (again including higher education) find 57 million students.
That comes to $82,631 per student.
Point of reference. The median household income in the US is about $61,000.
Someone check my numbers. The math is right.

Jim, no need for shame obviously. These matches use total time, no splits (and I haven't looked at my score in years).
But between the stages becoming boring (no Rube Goldberg moving/interconnected targets), and the round count going down, and not much steel .... AND the damn PCCs, the matches have been kind of ruined for me. Used to be great.

And like other TX hospitals if they want they can send patients to other parts of the state, where there's plenty of capacity (everywhere, actually, outside the RGV).
But this kind of idiotic distortion is, in fact, the sort in which many Americans marinate, 24/7.
Tragically for the ignorant racist totalitarians like our commenter here, virus gonna virus, it's fading, will fade, nothing can stop that, and once the populace is to HIT, which is probably 25% or even lower, done. A few areas may still have to go through their curves, but they will, and, done.
And continuing efforts to destroy the economy and punish the population in general, as they continue in select areas as the virus fades, will likely boost MAGA even more - though no boost is needed for a big victory as it is.

I keep thinking of a line from some hard-boiled detective novel/story where our hero is asked, 'How many men have you killed?' His reply, 'None. They were all commies.'
