Wildly insecure yet curiously narcissistic kinda says it all.
Narcissists, according to what I've read, do tend to be insecure. That's why they need to be the center of attention. That's why they have such a need to only be viewed in a positive light. Look at the multiple times that Biden has gone off on potential voters at his democrat events. It's usually because they disagree with him on an issue. He can't handle it. Saying "you don't know shit", and jabbing his finger at a young guy in an auto plant, saying "look, fat" to some voter, challenging some guy to push ups, this is not an emotionally secure person. This is the behavior of someone who, deep down, knows that he is incompetent. I once had a boss like that. Posted by: nerdygirl at August 13, 2020 10:10 PM (+lVUW) 27
That sandwich pic reminds me of a coworker who brought a watermelon cut in half crosswise, filled with fruit salad, to a work potluck. It laid there on its side, fruit spilling out, when the big boss walked in, took one look, and asked brightly, "Who brought the fruit salad?" You could tell she was thinking, "Note to self, do not promote this person."

No stupider than Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), which holds that a government can hugely increase government spending, simply by printing money, without serious consequences. You know, sort of like Germany in 1922. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez loves MMT, of course, since she thinks that she is going to fund the Green New Deal by printing money.

No, but until the government actually does something about it (they won't) that will be the natural born citizen requirement.

Since I answered honestly on the questionnaire that I have in fact used recreational drugs he entered the room and referred to me as a pothead, he then proceeded to disparage President Trump.

If only there were some kind of authority to enforce the Constitution as originated... I dunno... Congress... the DOJ. It will never happen. Congress and the DOJ will continue their scorched earth policy upon the good old USA. The elected grifters will continue their grift. It's been swell while it lasted.

I loved that sidebit on Logan's Run. The summer it came out was when my friends and I had our own money and way to get around, so we could finally go to Movies on our own without parents. And the movie houses were all big about double features, to keep you inside and buying popcorn, and it was Phoenix and it was 110 outside anyways. That summer it seems like I ended up seeing Logan's Run in the theater as the second half of a double feature 4 or 5 times. But Miss Aguttar made it worthwhile!

Things may get interesting in Portland - the Oregon State Police, who had been guarding the Federal courthouse, and providing backup to Portland cops generally, are leaving Portland in protest of the DA's refusal to prosecute any rioters. (Interesting that the governor is allowing the OSP to do this.)
Pretty blistering comment from OSP: "Last night was our last night in Portland," said the Oregon State Police spokesperson. OSP is removing troopers from protecting federal courthouse and returning "resources back to counties where prosecution of criminal conduct is still a priority." We already know that Portland cops have been ordered to not protect the courthouse, so I guess we're back to the Feds protecting it.

My brother and I saw Logan's Run at the drive-in. Well, adjacent to the drive-in (our house was in full-view of the scren). Dad told us, "do not sneak outside and watch this movie, because it is unwholesome."
We quickly learned which moments had Farrah Fawcett and Jenny Agutter. it ran for a week or two. when I actually watched the movie years later, I realized it was kind of a crappy movie. Posted by: Pug Mahon, of the Butte Mahons at August 13, 2020 10:43 PM (x8Wzq) 193

Someone is pushing all this. For some reason.
And I don't think it's just to get Trump out of office. It was in the works long before Trump got elected. Why is more important than who. Posted by: AlaBAMA at August 13, 2020 10:26 PM (WvQcX) For three generations now, the Grifters have build and refined the Graft Machine. Everyone gets to dip their beak, and also let in their favored friends and family, to dip their beak. Just don't rock the boat, and every one gets paid. Trump is his own man, not bought off like DC politicians, or the Deep State career Fed Gov workers, and is happy to tear the dishonest system down to the ground. The Grifters are pushing back. And being helped by their Grifter friends in the Corporate Press Machine. Leaks, lies, falsehoods, mis-direction, and censorship. And here we are.

151 92 46 I thought that to be President of this country a person had to not only be born here but also have parents who were either born here or be naturalized citizens.
Posted by: Floridachick at August 13, 2020 10:13 PM (hwKHA) Born in the US so natural born citizen regardless of parent's status. Anchor babies are a huge industry. Huge. Posted by: LeftCoast Dawg at August 13, 2020 10:36 PM (sy5kK) My understanding is that the bar for the Presidency is that the parents have to be citizens as well.

Bet ya anything she's got a college degree.
--- She's actually mostly right. She's glossed over the fact that the only reason the money has any value is because we exchange it for all the stuff that matters to us. The only purpose of taxation at the federal level is to offset federal spending (because the government doesn't do anything of value, any deficit spending necessarily causes inflation to make up the difference). It's nuts, but as long as the currency isn't backed by anything real (and it doesn't have to be gold, or even one particular thing), that's the system we have.

Idiot me. I posted this in the dead thread below and then wondered why nobody responded. Duh.
866 My cousin called to wish me a belated happy birthday and we had a long chat on the phone. He is the only one in my family who is as conservative as I am and we had a great talk. He's an interesting character - a published author, musician, Orthodox priest and a very well-read man. Anyway, he and his wife live in Davenport, IA and he urged me to job hunt there. He loves living there and praised the low cost of living, the restaurants, the feel of the place. I have never been there. The first thing I think of when I think of living on the banks of the Mississippi - is floods. And I wasn't really considering moving to a city, although Davenport isn't a very big one. I was looking at moving to Northern Wisconsin, but I'm not finding a lot of jobs I can apply to. On the plus side, it sounds much saner than Milwaukee - and Wisconsin. I'd know my cousin and his wife and I'd rather talk to those two than my closer relatives these days. It's a 3 and a half hour drive from here so I could still make it back for holidays. Can anybody give me more info about Davenport? Posted by: Donna&&&&&&V at August 13, 2020 10:31 PM (HabA/) Farmer, do you know anything about Davenport?

131- Your doctor violated HIPPA regulations, mentioning something from your medical history to everyone in the waiting room. That's a bigger deal than bitching about DJT, it's a felony, and if you report it to the AMA they have to investigate and the fines start at $100 and go up to the millions. Remember, the process is the punishment.

Good for long stretches in The Office, because not on there much each episode:
Idris Elba and Kathy Bates Not so good because there too much: Will Ferrell and James Spader On The Office a lot but still funny: Amy Ryan Will Ferrell fizzled out as the Regional Manager, but when Dwight filled in the role for that one episode, it was hilarious. There's a real distinction between comedy done in movies or with live audiences, and done on TV without an audience or laugh track.

I just needed a routine pap done and so ended up with a new doctor on staff that I knew nothing about - but she could fit me in right away because she's still building a practice.

You laugh at that "the govt. funds the taxpayers so they can pay taxes" shit. But that is just a somewhat mixed-up, corrupted simplistic version of something dubbed Modern Monetary Theory. The idea is basically the govt can print/create all the money everyone needs and there will no negative consequences.

Could Flooring Every Car on the Planet Speed Up the Earth's Rotation?
------------ They could have saved some complex stuff by just assuming an average linear acceleration by the cars, rather than the very iffy numbers associated with assumed torque and multiplication. More to the point, typically reverse gear is lower than 1st gear, and thus it would be advantageous to point the cars east, and conduct the (theoretical) experiment with the cars in reverse. I am wondering where they came up with the torque multiplication number of 12.6.? I expect a typical 1st gear to run around 3:1...at any rate between 3:1 an 3.5:1. Typical differential gear ratio of ~3:1, many, I expect around 2.5:1 That gives a total drive ratio of ~9:1. But, more to the point, unless the cars are miraculously tethered to some fixed point off of the earth, then the torque at the wheels will result in acceleration of the mass of the vehicle, as well as to the earth's surface. I rate the article: Not Science. I have the feeling that I should have read upthread before writing this. Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at August 13, 2020 11:31 PM (GBHAb) 406

May Jews of recent times have failed to recognize the current locksteppers of the left utilizing much of the same tactics used in Nazi Germany, last Century. When will the Jews decide not to fall for the repetitive tricks of the Jews haters, Muslims or Nazis, or are they determined to never learn the harsh lessons life has tried to teach them?

I just read that the box set, Dire Straits Studio Albums 1978-1991, will be reissued on CD on October 9.
Not only that, the price at Amazon UK is less than 20 pounds, which I assume means it'll also be inexpensive in US dollars. Wanna pick it up! Posted by: qdpsteve at August 13, 2020 11:37 PM (L2ZTs) 419

406 A "divan" is also a sofa, but a "loveseat" is nearly impossible comfortably upon which to fuck.
That's assuming of course, that you're wife or girlfriend is there for the festivities. Otherwise, if yer ridin' solo, well, be sure to clean out the change from 'tween the cushions, first.

Oh, and there is an Ezell's, a local Seattle place with about a half dozen stores around the greater Seattle area. It became famous about 30 years ago, when Oprah announced on TV it was her favorite. Local black ownership had something to do with it, I'm sure.
I tried it, meh. But it cost more than the other brands. Posted by: LeftCoast Dawg at August 13, 2020 11:33 PM (sy5kK) I've had Ezell's (about 20 years or so ago, before Oprah). It was locally popular. I don't remember anything about the cost, but it had too much garlic in the batter. I only ever ate at the original restaurant. Although they opened a location in my former neighborhood (West Seattle/White Center/Burien), it didn't last long. First it was a Wendy's, then Ezell's, then a Peruvian (?!?) restaurant. Now a parking lot. Or maybe the apartment building next to the parking lot. Who knows. Time marches on. Posted by: HTL at August 13, 2020 11:41 PM (P473H) 428

As for watching sports, NFL and NBA totally gone. NHL and NASCAR still in, but partial. NOOSECAR's biggest problem now is the same 2 drivers winning most races and Chevys have as much chance as an Indy Lights car beating Scott Dixon. MLB has cut back the BLM presence in many stadia, except Fenway, where the Red Sox are a dumpster fire ha ha. Most annoying are CBS "8:46" Whitey Sucks PSAs by their announcers. You just can't watch anything live now. You watch those PSAs live and your 68 inch TV will receive a brick.

Google, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn (which is owned by Microsoft) are among tech and social media giants joining forces to fight misinformation, voter suppression, foreign interference and potential election manipulation. Axios reports Google, Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat are rolling out new features to prepare users to vote, in an effort to counter criticisms that they haven't done enough to fight voter manipulation and suppression in the past. In a joint statement, the tech companies say they're meeting regularly with U.S. government agencies to protect election integrity, including working to counter misinformation efforts ahead of the 2020 vote.

www.superdeluxeedition.com (scroll down a bit) They only list availability at Amazon UK and a few other foreign Amazon sites, but I recall that in the past, either they added a link to purchase from the USA site, or that if later on you search for it at Amazon USA, it pops up/becomes available.

480 I got a question for the horde, which I don't think has been brought up before. With all of this mask hysteria, will there be any demand for movies or TV shows with actors in masks? Or conversely, how will movies and TV be received if the actors aren't wearing masks? I mean they wouldn't be realistic in this current environment without wearing masks. But holy cow, if everyone is in a mask the show or movie will be unwatchable

If you remember, a couple of weeks ago, I was bitching one night about the latest Windows 10 version, 2004. I was getting BSODs and thought it was that. Well, it wasn't. It was a failing memory stick, near as I can figure. Or maybe a flaky stick, I should say. The problem got worse. I have two installs of windows on this machine, and I tried to do another clean install, and started getting crazy errors. Then disk corruption galore and all sorts of BSODs. Memory corruption would explain all of that, and I got into the BIOS and slowed the memory down a good bit. This mo/bo is OCing one and you get down in it and tweak and adjust just about everything. There are a couple of pages of nothing but memory timing parameters. I have no idea what 90% of it does, and wouldn't touch it. Anyway, that improved things. Not quite as unstable, but still BSODing and failing to do shit. This evening, I popped in some new memory sticks and everything is running fine.

From the 6 million dollar man thread: Northrup worked his entire life trying to make a flying wing aircraft work, and had some stunning designs. None of them worked. They could fly but were very unstable and extremely difficult to control.
It wasn't until fly by wire and computer assistance allowed the stealth jets to fly as a wing (which also made them designable for extreme radar cloaking) that his idea finally worked. Basically no human could make it fly. He crashed a lot of planes trying though. Well, pilots did.

There are some problems with 2004, and MS hasn't fixed them all yet. They've put a hold on machines with known configurations that trigger the known bugs, at least for Windows Update. If your machine offers it via Windows Update, you're not on the problem list. Microsoft's testing process is pretty much broken. There have been several incidents of late where they failed to detect some pretty bad bugs (one which would delete user data files!). They've got this "Insider Program" where many people try out the betas and preview releases, yet with all that, they miss it. In most of the cases, they received bug reports of the above bad bugs, but failed to act on them.

and so is the entire Anglican priesthood. Is this not right?
The pope is a mess, but Anglicans vary significantly. It used to be, and may still be, unofficial policy of churches to be sent alternating more radical and more conservative clergy. In the Anglican Church, its very top-down, they don't choose their minister. When one goes, then the church rulers choose the replacement. There's still good clergy in the church, but fewer every year as the entire denomination moves more and more away from Christ and toward the world and its ruler. Outside England, however, the Anglican church can be very strongly Biblical, oddly enough especially in places like Africa. I can't speak much about Roman Catholics except that the pope really does appear to be a nominal Christian and hard left radical idiot.

I'm not southern, the closest I come is my dad was born in a little town called Brookfield Missouri. But the Dixie does not refer to the Confederacy or slavery, its a geographical designation, like Mississippi Valley or Florida Peninsula. Dixie is south of the Mason/Dixon line, its not a cultural or historical designation from any specific time period.

Most of the distinctive flavor of season salt comes from the celery salt in it. The other stuff adds to it, but that's what gives season salt its particular zing. Its great stuff but a little goes a long ways and you can tire of it pretty fast if its overused.

I'm not an overclocker, I just have a OCer mo/bo. Everything runs stock speeds. DDR4 has these XMP profiles, and I wasn't even using that, just the stock JDEC settings. The new memory, 2 x 16GB Corsair has an XMP profile of 3200MHz, but I'm running at the stock speed of 2100MHz at first. I'll bump it up to the XMP settings once I get everything shaken out and all the repairs I need to do done.

Much of the horde remains irrationally and ignorantly Twitter-averse - i.e., not realizing you don't have to sign up or participate to read some of the best info and analysis around/links to same, on many important issues.
A few of the prominent C19 independent commentators and observers (with various backgrounds, I think including virologists/epidemiologists, but haven't checked thoroughly, and list is growing) have teamed up to do a website - rationalground.com. Haven't even looked at it yet. Hope it will aggregate best/newest info, for now once must check the trap-line with the various people, follow their links, etc. Anyway.

Donna this is a website, not the twatters of the various contributors. AFAIK, none have so far been banned.
Don't know if Levitt will join up with them. Nobel Prize biologist who (summarized) based on Stockholm and Diamond Princess thinks herd immunity threshold for C19 quite low, possible 20% or less. But the most interesting thing he's said (to me), so far (others have also hypothesized low HIT, with lots of evidence), was in an interview (I think on unherd.com - another site worth checking). He said that, typical for a real scientist, he had put his calculations and hypothesis out for colleagues/others to evaluate, attack, challenge, correct, etc. First responses he got, from prominent people? "You shouldn't say that". He was stunned and appalled. Rightly - as this was a pristinely un-scientific response. Prof. Levitt - meet your lysenkoized scientific community. Enjoy!

Well, I took my busted air brake valve into the heavy-duty truck shop today. It was indeed a "quick-release valve", and they had a suitable replacement, made by Bendix. Only difference is that the outlet ports were one size larger. A pair of 3/8 - 1/4 pipe thread reducing bushings takes care of that.
Valve and stop light switch together cost about $60. And I measured up the two old air tanks, and they came in at about 5.5 gallons each. I happen to have an old tank for a roll-around portable compressor, and it measured up to be exactly 11.2 gallons (probably closer to 12, because I neglected the volume of the domed ends). There is room in the left rear corner of the engine room to mount this tank in a vertical position, out of the weather, and away from road splash from the rear wheel, so that's what I will do. It needs one more bung welded into it, so when I cut the hole for that, I will look inside with my little video bore scope, and if it is rusty inside, I will discard it in favor of a new tank. Outside, it looks simply perfect, no rust at all. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at August 14, 2020 01:43 AM (29jSH) 610

The problem was the compressor started cycling off for extended periods when it got hot, the problem was the air gap between the pressure plate and magnet was too large (which as I later found out is a common Subaru problem). The fix was to remove the pressure plate and take out shims until the gap was less than 0.45mm. Now the problem is it is always on, even when the switch is off. It works fine otherwise, and I'd rather have it on when I don't want it than off when I do so I'm good with it. I also changed a fill valve in one of the toilets, it was making a high pitched squealing noise. So that's two things. And now I think I deserve a beer or three.

If the compressor runs continuously, the evaporator coils may ice up.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at August 14, 2020 01:58 AM (29jSH) It doesn't, the system works normally, compressor cycles on and off and everything (the problem before, with the clutch, was the air gap was too large when everything heated up for the magnet to catch the pressure plate, so when the compressor cycled the clutch wouldn't re-engage). The problem now is that somewhere (I think in the control panel) there is a switch shorted that tells the AC system to always be on, even when the switches are off. Other than that, it works great. If it gets to bothering me overly much I'll pull the dash apart and see if it turns off when I unplug the control panel, if not I know to look into the wiring harness instead.

Cutting onions.
One of my dad's best friends decided to become a foster parent. It lasted a day. He came home to find 1 kid screaming out the newly broken front window, the kid's brother trying to kick in a bedroom closet door, and his own twin girls beaten and bruised and holding the closet door closed from inside. The man was a school guidance counselor, an avid outdoorsman, and just about the nicest guy you ever met. The foster kids went back that day, because nether the man nor his wife wanted their girls killed. The agency knew his background and gave him totally broken kids from a nightmare home. If he had known about that, he probably could have prepared for it and helped heal them. The agency was afraid he wouldn't say yes, so they just let it be a surprise. Frank talk about the deal in the teachers' lounge got eavesdropped on, and then blown up into juicy gossip around town that the foster agency was sending out monsters that not even the best trained school employees could handle. It basically shut down fostering in the town for a decade. Posted by: Downcast at August 14, 2020 02:05 AM (qLzyL) 630

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at August 14, 2020 02:07 AM (29jSH) Yep, this one does, too. So it's either the defrost switch or the AC switch, I'm suspecting the defrost switch because turning the fan all the way to off is also supposed to cut the power and it doesn't. The AC switch light goes out, but the system stays on. I have swapped relays so I know it's not a stuck relay (plus the aux radiator fan stays on). If it isn't the control panel it might be the computer (not sure if it runs through there on an 03 Subaru Baja), if that's the case the damn thing will stay broke and I'll pull the relay if I absolutely have to have it off.

Foster care
Its no picnic, even in a top notch private church-run agency. Many foster parents adopted their charges, just to keep them away from their birth mothers, the 'mostly peaceful' junkies [yes. if the foo shits, wear it.] visiting Rikers Island for a spell. the 'usual suspects' came roaring in, screaming ....wait for it,,,,RACIALISTS! This new foster parent was given an infant who is an hermaphrodite. She spent years taking the child to chromosome therapy and other medical care. The stipend barely kept the child in nappies. The screamers demanded she take the child on parental visits to her non compos mentis mother in Rikers. The 'usual suspects' were gobsmacked to find themselves on the receiving end of the SCREAMING.

How Biden holds the phone is the least of his concerns; depending on the quality and placement of the speakers, sometimes one has to hold a smart phone at a particular angle to hear speech clearly.
The real problem is that the whole bit is so contrived it stinks. It's obviously staged. I'd go so far as to speculate that they consciously tried to make it sound much better than it actually was. You think political leadership would have learned from candidates like Felonia Von Pantsuit, who never under any circumstances came off as natural, to the point where attempts to make her seem like everybody else were such failures. You'd think they'd be looking for folks who are genuine to head their tickets. But you'd be wrong. Instead, campaign strategists simply settle for trying to make a silk purse from a sow's ear. I wasn't paying much attention when the SCOAMF burst on to the scene, but after hearing so many rave about what a polished speaker he was, I was flabbergasted to find out he was nothing of the kind, even when he had practiced his speech extensively. To my mind, he wasn't even convincing as a reader of words off a teleprompter. And when he had to speak off the cuff, he was a disaster.

Posted by: Vic at August 14, 2020 04:04 AM (mpXpK) Let me know when the subway/bus fare will be based upon actual cost and not the subsidized current $2.75. The real price of a ride is somewhere around $10.00, if not more, what with operating costs (including new equipment), maintenance costs, payroll and pensions. But no NY politician has the balls to make the fare commensurate with the actual cost. Why should any other state/citizen pay for the subsidizing of NYC's bus and subway system?

Quote: "U.S. Postal Service to award $6.3B contract for new mail truck this year. See the finalists" $3.6B to design a vehicle that already exists and that the big three already make. Chevy makes a van. Ford makes a van. Chrysler makes a van. I'm fairly certain every one of them already makes a sh*tload of different small SUVs, and at least one of them makes a work vehicle that has been readily adopted FOR THIS EXACT ROLE by small business owners all around the nation (Ford Transit). But f*ck it, let's spend $3.6B and make a different Ford Transit. I wonder how long $3.6B would last in buying and maintaining a fleet of Transits for the Post Office?

Amazon should operate its own fleet and trucks and deliver their own damn packages. Posted by: vivi at August 14, 2020 06:46 AM They do. At least in my area (SE Michigan). Though I imagine they do that all over the country. Probably not for every single package. I know I have had Amazon packages delivered by USPS, UPS, FedEx and Amazon. But Amazon does have a fleet of trucks and makes a lot of deliveries. Pretty nice too, because they also have a tracking service where you can see where your package is on a map and then after they deliver the package to your door, they take a picture of the package on your doorstep to send you confirmation that the package has been delivered.

Supposed to do our homework and practice our music. Help mom make dinner. Posted by: Bruce at August 14, 2020 07:26 AM (vd8XM) 847

The Post Office is actually making money on Amazon deliveries according to a UBS Analysis.

Yikes! We lost power for about a second. My nieces that live in Chicago lost it for about 2 days. Luckily not a lot of food in the fridge.
Posted by: Bruce I had just cooked a weeks worth of meals that morning and had to toss them all. But that's okay! We have so many trees, I was just very grateful we didn't have more damage. And when the power came back on, it was like a miracle..LOL. That's such a great feeling, esp out here where the well pump runs on electricity.

844 - That land transfer thing is the urban equivalent of taking over White farmer's land in South Africa.
I've wondered why those farmers don't leave their farms they way they found them. No cattle. No equipment. No wells. No buildings. And a touch of salt in the fields. So no boiler, no water, no plumbing, no cabinets, no fridge, no A/C, no electricity. no cabinets no windows, no roofs.... Posted by: vivi at August 14, 2020 07:29 AM (11H2y) 853

Posted by: Bruce Agreed. I'm the oldest of eight - both parents worked midnights. They worked their asses off all the time. All of us kids did what we were capable of, and expected to do, to help keep things running smoothly. It was great training for adulthood. Posted by: Tonypete at August 14, 2020 07:30 AM (Rvt88) 855

Posted by: lizabth That'll teach you to ration. We are on a well also. When we see a storm approaching, it's time to grab a shower because you may not get one that night. Since it's only the 2 of us, we each have a designated bathroom. You can flush, but you may have to walk a half block to the lake and get a 5 gallon bucket of water Posted by: Bruce at August 14, 2020 07:30 AM (vd8XM) 856

Correct. It's coming. But it's really about transfer of sovereignty, in every respect. Posted by: Ordinary American at August 14, 2020 07:31 AM (H8QX8) 858

Breaking News -
Barr notes that just this Monday Durham reviewed the first scope memo for the Mueller Special Council so they now know what the SC claimed to be investigating. It took so long to obtain because none of the scope memos have ever been publicly released. So, until now, nobody really knew what the were investigating in the first place.

The coming together of Israel and Arab states builds on the efforts of multiple administrations to foster a broader Arab-Israeli opening, including the efforts of the Obama-Biden administration to build on the Arab Peace Initiative, he added.
Funny, I seem to remember the collateral damage of the two previous administrations is in getting involved in expensive and endless wars with the Middle East nations, without any plan, any definition of what winning looks like, or an exit plan. Just occupy and keep a level of distrust and chaos continuing. Some of the highlights of the previous administrations include: Al Qaeda, ISIS, Benghazi, the fall of Libya, Egyptian Civil War, Syria, Yemen going up in flames, Iran kidnapping American soldiers, dropping off billions of unmarked cash to terrorist nations, daily Palestinian terror, massive expansion in the human trafficking and drug cultivation and trade...
