Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (9/1/20)
Quote I
It is the strange fate of man, that even in the greatest of evils the fear of the worst continues to haunt him. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Quote II
No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. C. S. Lewis
Quote III
Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike. Oscar Wilde
Go woke, go broke. Let it burn......Hard
Despite near-daily efforts to show America how woke they are, or, because of it, the NBA’s playoff ratings are still tanking. “Weekday afternoon games have certainly hurt, but the first weekend of the NBA Playoffs was no ratings bonanza either,” Sports Media Watch reported.

Most people seem to believe that wind and solar panels produce no waste and have no negative environmental impacts. Unfortunately, these people are wrong. In reality, everything that humans do has an environmental impact, whether it be mining, using a coal-fired power plant, or even tourism. When it comes to energy and environmental policy, the real question to ask is not “will there be an impact?” but rather, “can the impacts be minimized?” and “do the benefits outweigh the costs?” Because everything has an effect on the environment, it is important that everyone understands the impacts of all energy sources so we can make the best possible energy decisions. We are constantly making trade-offs in our lives whether we recognize it or not. A recent article in Grist warns of a looming onslaught of solar waste as solar panels in the United States begin to reach the end of their 25 year lifetimes. The article begins: “Solar panels are an increasingly important source of renewable power that will play an essential role in fighting climate change. They are also complex pieces of technology that become big, bulky sheets of electronic waste at the end of their lives — and right now, most of the world doesn’t have a plan for dealing with that.”Everything and everybody needs an environmental impact statement except for the Saint Do-Gooders.
The resumption of indoor dining in New York City hinges on a “huge step forward” — like the development of a coronavirus vaccine, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday. The mayor sounded less than optimistic that eatery owners and workers would be able to start earning a living again — and diners able to enjoy a meal inside an eatery — before the June 1, 2021, return date, set earlier this month. “We do expect — and pray for and expect — a vaccine in the spring that will allow us to get more back to normal,” he said at his daily press briefing, “but I will absolutely tell you, we’re going to keep looking for that situation where we can push down the virus enough where we would have more ability to address indoor dining.”

Outsiders are often left bewildered if asked to describe the complexities of what the Coast Guard does, at least without offering a gauche “guard the coast” quip. If anything, the service’s intricate mission now appears even more perplexing after a scene that unfolded last week aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Kimball. About 40 crew members were enjoying a swim break — replete with an inflatable unicorn named Charles — in the western Pacific when a shark, estimated to be between six to eight feet long, tried to join in the fun.
Elk 1 Hunter 0.
A wounded elk charged, gored, and killed a bowhunter during Oregon's opening weekend for archery.
According to the Oregon State Police, a Hillsboro, Oregon man was gored and killed by a wounded elk he had shot the night before. The incident occurred Sunday morning in Tillamook County. The man, 66-year-old Mark David, was said to have been hunting on private land Saturday night when he connected with an elk but could not recover the wounded ungulate.
David and the landowner attempted to locate the elk Sunday morning. When they found it, close to 9:15 a.m., David tried to shoot it again with his bow. The elk charged, goring David in the neck with its antler and fatally wounding him.

A motorist allegedly drove off after handing an alcoholic beverage to the deputy, who stopped to check on the man parked at the roadside. The 54-year-old Arlington man was charged with evading arrest or detention with a vehicle and driving while intoxicated with an open container, according to arrest reports.

Hopkins County Sheriff‘s Deputies Justin Wilkerson, Chris Baumann and Elijah Fite; and Sgt. Tanner Steward were dispatched at 10:45 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 26, on Interstate 30 east in the right lane at 135 mile marker, where a vehicle was reported to be stopped, possibly stalled, with flashers on. Wilkerson reported locating a Cadillac TBS parked on the shoulder of I-30 east near mile marker 140. Upon contact, Wilkerson alleged the driver was holding an open alcoholic beverage container. An alcohol odor emitted from the vehicle and the man reportedly spoke with slurred speech, as if intoxicated. The deputy asked him to hand over the suspected alcoholic beverage and step out of the vehicle. The man handed over the beverage as requested, but instead of stepping out of the vehicle, he began driving away in it, Wilkerson alleged in arrest reports.

You might recognize actor Gary Sinise from his incredible roles in Forrest Gump, The Green Mile, and of course CSI: NY. When Gary is not working in front of the camera, he is very passionate about honoring and helping military veterans and their families. In 2011, he started the Gary Sinise Foundation with a goal to “entertain, educate, inspire, strengthen, and build communities.” He started a program through his foundation called the Snowball Express which is specifically designed to provide free trips to children of fallen soldiers. The Snowball Express program went above and beyond and was able to give over 1,750 children and their legal guardians or surviving parent a free trip to Orlando Florida for a 5-night stay and the happiest place on Earth. Not only did they children receive a free trip, they also were able to take advantage of free mentoring, counseling services, education and entertainment.

My company attemped this when i work at corporat hq in Bethesda, MD. They handed them out to is at a big brouhaha and said it was a trial to help the workforce get healthy. Track your steps, get discounts on you co-pay, do a survey of dietary habits for a $50 restaurant voucher.
All of us sheeple participated. Lets be good citizens, right, this is for us.
The battery on mine died about 90 days after i got it.
Two weeks layer, the company medical director calls me up on a speakerphone with the facility campus nurse for my campus in Crystal City.
Bif, we're worried about you, your steps just went to zero two weeks ago. And your time card showed that you were taking acrued leave. Is everything alright?
Bottom line, they were using those devices to track how healthy we all were so they cooukd get quotes from insurance providers for the entire corporation, (we were abkut 100k heads large, then).
The offered me, i accepted, a new device. I never even opened the box, threw it in the trash when it arrived.
#twoweeks later, another call. Did i get the new device? Oh, yes! Yes i did. I've been too busy to set it up, ya know travel, red irad programs to bail out, etc. I'll get right on that.
My vp comes in my office the next day. Bif why arent you logging your steps? Dude used to run the f22 probram for the air farce, retired two-button.
I looked him in the eye, told him it was being used as a tracking device for how healthy i was and refused to wear it anymore. He asked for proof. I told him to take it off, and see what happens.
The program was canceled about three weeks later.
Phucking George Orwell shit right there.

But I cannot entirely disagree with Lewis. When a loved one passes, I feel a very dark, bitter moment of fear and despair. It's only after prayer and reflection that I can surmount that moment.
Sometimes that moment lasts longer than it should.

I have started reading his book, Grateful American: A Journey from Self to Service.
He grew up in Chicago, moved around the city a lot. But it was so enjoyable reading him tell stories about his childhood and teen years in Chicago. Sent me back to my days growing up in Chicago.
He had quite a path from troublemaker to eventually finding the arts and acting, which basically saved his life. And then he started up an acting house in Chicago that is still there today.
Just truly amazing life.

Some trips can live forever in your memory - out of many great ones, the one that impacted me the most was when I was 6 years old, we had moved to Phoenix, but my Mom wanted to take us all back for a visit with her folks in Wisconsin that summer. Train service was already dying out, but it wasn't gone yet, and we were booked on a big Santa Fe Train (Just like the one in Silver Streak!) from Phoenix to St. Louis to Chicago to Milwaukee. 2 1/2 days, and for the entire time I was able to camp out in that big glass topped observation car and watch the entire country roll by. Even after all these years, I remember it like it was yesterday.

Grief can be like fear, in a way.
Fear of never seeing them again.
Fear of not having that person to share your day with.
Fear of not having that rock solid, steady presence you have known all your life and can turn to for comfort or advice.
Fear of dying alone. Of all your friends and family having passed before you.

And this happens because the United States is NOT, in any way, shape, form or fashion, a serious country.
A good way to stop this is to...well, insist and demand that everyone who enters the country do so at a port of entry, and that everyone who goes through a port of entry present a passport to a CBP official, and those who do not face very harsh penalties.
But to many (waaaay too many) Americans, sex trafficking, even with children involved, is not nearly as deeply, intensely upsetting as the idea that yes, you HAVE to present a passport to a CBP official at a port of entry in order to enter the country, and that IT MIGHT EVEN HAVE TO HAVE A VISA.

Grief can be like fear, in a way.
Posted by: Aetius451AD Work Laptop at September 01, 2020 10:36 PM
And not just grief from death.
Think of the grief one feels after something simple as a breakup. Or the grief one feels after losing a good friend.
I remember my grief after my breakup with my first ever girlfriend back in college and then also the grief I felt after my breakup with my last long-term relationship 15 years ago.
There was grief, but it was also fear.
Fear of my future. Fear of being alone forever. Fear of never finding anyone ever gain.
And that heightened the grief even more.
Grief and fear seem to blend together, feed off each other and strengthen the other, making each worse to endure.
When they spiral out of control, it results in depression.

They didn't try another effort like that one until o'barky care. I smelled it oit for what it was and warned all my junior wngineers not to even set up their accounts. Sure as the sky is blue. They got caught at it again.
All my gen x engineers are suspicious little shits to begin with, once i opened their eyes to this kind of stuff, they have done me proud. Most of them now have junior and entry level mentees and they're passing this kind of thinking along for what to watch put for.

From Marxists.org
The Communist movement was still on its ultra-left binge (the so-called Third Period) when the Nazi movement began to snowball. To the Stalinists, every capitalist party was automatically "fascist". Even more catastrophic than this disorienting of the workers was Stalin's famous dictum that, rather than being opposites, fascism and social democracy were "twins". The socialists were thereupon dubbed "social fascists" and regarded as the main enemy. Of course, there could be no united front with social-fascist organizations, and those who, like Trotsky, urged such united fronts, were also labeled social fascists and treated accordingly.
How divorced from reality the Stalinist line was may be illustrated be recalling its translation into American terms. In the 1932 elections, American Stalinists denounced Franklin Roosevelt as the fascist candidate and Norman Thomas as the social-fascist candidate. What was ludicrous as applied to US politics was tragic in Germany and Austria.

AndyNgo, Portland's mayoral history is disturbing.
@tedwheeler may not be the worst. Mayor Sam Adams had a homosexual romantic relationship with an underage boy that was overlooked because he was an out gay man. Mayor Goldschmidt raped his 14-year-old babysitter.
The city of Portland is a total wackjob. They keep voting these people in; That's who they are.

It is an article of faith among the Left in Portland that if five people are setting a fire in a building, and 295 people are screening the arsonists from the cops, then the 295 people are "peaceful protestors" who the cops are not allowed to disturb.
No, all 300 of you are rioters and are subject to arrest.
The Portland cops have apparently been given permission to arrest people mouthing off at the cops (anyone present after a riot has been declared is subject to arrest, of course).
Even if the rioters won't be charged, the cops still seem happier.

Yep, I hear ya.
After my college breakup, I got the blessing of a lifetime when I landed an internship from Jan-Aug of 1998 in Kansas City, MO with TWA at their plane overhaul base. She broke up with me the week of my interview for that internship. I had to get on a flight to KC from Purdue in Indiana the next day. I didn't sleep that night. Flight was 6am and I literally sleep-walked through the interview I was so distraught and tired. But I impressed my eventual boss so much with talking about the Jeep Cherokee I owned, that he hired me.
Best experience of my life. Helped to turn my life around.
The next long-term relationship breakup I also used as motivation to get back to doing things for me. Buried myself in work and exercise and going out rollerblading.
Sadly, a few months later I had someone betray me beyond my comprehension and I still have not recovered from that. And that's why my last relationship was 15 years ago and I have not dated since.
Grief of that betrayal stays with me and the fear of it happening again prevents me from ever allowing myself to get close to anyone.
I am persevering in life, but relationships are a thing of the past.

I told my friends it was terrorism, we are going to war and tried to go back to sleep. They shouted that a plane had hit the second tower and I said I told you so. I was in Afghanistan a few month later. Not prescient or anything of the sort, they just caught me when I was drowsy and my mind was clear.

Portland did have a conservative Democratic mayor, Frank Ivancie, from 1980-1984.
Great quote from Wikipedia:
Ivancie opposed the development of the popular Pioneer Courthouse Square on the grounds that the square would become a gathering place for transients.
The very idea! Frank was wrong - Pioneer Courthouse Square did not become a gathering place for transients.
All of downtown Portland became a gathering place for transients.

And the panels themselves are pretty benign waste. Thin sheets of nearly pure silicon, doped with other metals in the ppm range, meh. Some lead-based solder in the interconnect wiring, no doubt, but there is lead-based solder in damned near everything electrical.
The biggest knock against solar panels is that they constitute a vast waste of money and human capital, putting them up in a vain effort to provide reliable grid power.

That's an extremely difficult pattern to break, especially if it's been there for a long time. Doesn't mean you can't break it, but it's a shit-ton of work.

I've tried watching the Videogame docuseries "High Score" and even this has to take a radical left slant.
In one episode they spent more time focusing on the player who won a videogame tournament becoming a transvestite, than they did on the whole 1990 Nintendo Tournament.
In another episode on RPGs they spent 1/4th the episode on a fringe gay rpg who's goal is to beat up preachers and Pat Buchanan, as well as adding fan fiction animation about Pat becoming gay. In the same episode they talked about Ultima's creator finding inspiration, and when they showed a church they blasted ominous music over it, because god forbid someone believe in going to a Christian church.
A series that could have been interesting and informative for those who like early videogames, still had to pile on the leftist trash because to them everything needs to be political and polarized.

It's still a bit of a journey for me.
I probably lean pro-life across the board, but I've recently had a change of heart about that.
First, one of the things we do when we declare our fealty to the state is to trust that they will take care of adjudication and punishment for us. Take that away, and we're left with our own personal tribes meting justice. I don't want to live in a society of Hatfields and McCoys duking it out, forever.
Second, in many ways the state has frittered away its trust that it can even handle the first part correctly. Yes, we have many people who are incarcerated by mistake, and there have probably been a nonzero number of people who've even been executed by mistake. On the other hand, you now have guilty people who've committed heinous crimes that supposedly get '40 years to life' or somesuch sentence, but get out in a fraction of that time. In sensational cases, all you hear about is the sentencing, but the release often happens in obscurity.
I understand good behavior and all, and redemption and rehabilitation, but if a sentence isn't even really the sentence, what good is it all?
In addition, when Jesus was on the cross with the two criminals along side Him, while He promised that he would see one of them in paradise, He never said that either was executed unjustly. Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and all that, I suppose.
It's a muddle for me right now.

....one other thing that protected me Insomniac is always going into any kind of relationship with a girl with the mindset that she's already going to leave.

For those that don't know before Bud Clark was mayor there was a poster of him standing in front of a female statue wearing trench coat with the front open towards the statue. The poster said Expose yourself to Art.
Bud Clark defeated Ivancie, and wasn't a bad mayor, although much farther to the left than Ivancie.
Years later, I sat next to Clark at the annual dinner of a civil association and chatted with him. Interesting guy.

Mike Rosen, a talk radio guy in Denver back in the day, used to say something along the lines of, Nobody can offend you unless you allow it.
in other words, you're the one who decides to be offended or not.

Kennedy's approval ratings were not high when he was killed - he made the trip to Texas to shore up support there. The assassination changed everything. That's when the horseshit myth of "Camelot"was born.
Since older boomers were at an impressionable age and the assassination was such a shock, to this day, they can't think clearly about it. (Including some Republican boomers.) The myth overrode everything.
Of course, the media covered for JFK when he was alive and nobody knew about the women he was banging. What gets me is everyone knows now what a dirtbag family they are - and yet they still cling to the goddamn myth.

I don't have any special hate-on for the Kennedys. No more than any other liberals (I realize Joe, Sr. was not one of those).
Posted by: mnw
My disdain for the Kennedys still on this side of the sod stems from my sense that those running for office have all it takes merely because they are "of the family". Talk of Chel-Z getting into politics equally irritates ne.

Have Tamiya 1/35 M1A1 I need to build. Replicating my USMC company marks and weathering. Get to bust out a new airbrush on it. Motivated, but I know I'll be frustrated 10 minutes into the build.

Tamiya can be a bit frustrating. They are so detailed and sometimes it's overwhelming.
I got halfway through a Ferrari LaFerrari build and boxed it up. I'll come back to it but the complicated build did me in.

It's a great hobby. Teaches patience and attention to detail. Plus, you move from slap hazard to trying to replicate reality, which is cool. Weathering and wear. Oil steaks and exhaust stains.

That's because they are rich, have "style" and are considered (by some) to be "cute." For the record, I never understood why JFK was considered handsome. I look at the Kennedys and I expect them all to whinny for a bucket of oats.
But that's not the real reason. Melania has as much style as Jackie and the Trumps are rich too. And he didn't make his pile bootlegging. The real reason the Kennedys are idolized - because they're libs.

Dad's sister was divorced by her creepy husband. I prayed like never before my folks would stay together.
My folks divorced. Thanks, God.
Mom married my creepy uncle - talk about awkward. Scandal! Mom moved us down to Oil City, away from everything I ever knew, in Smallville.
Then Dad died.
All in the space of three and a half years.
Somewhere in there I met my great love, and we had a great relationship.
Then the Voice of Evil (I thought he was a friend) persuaded me that I was too young to go steady and needed to play the field. So I broke up with my first love.
When I recovered my sanity, she would not take me back. I've always thought that was good, for her anyway.
Those and subsequent years took a toll. Until Milady and I got together, I could never say I love you. And that took a while.
It was all fifty years and more ago. No reason it should still affect my psyche.
None whatsoever.

But it would be nice if he got a significant chunk of the vote (MA was, I believe, one of the only states where Trump didn't win one county.)
MA saddens me because I have been reading a lot about the Revolution, in which those old Puritan Yankees played such a pivotal role. How can you live in a state with so much American history and hate America?

I think of you often; I have a few conditions nowhere near like yours, but I completely understand how it begins to wear you down. When I can't walk much, I daydream. Sounds childish, but it helps me. Not sure it would work for a man as well, but at the very least I make sure I find several things a day to appreciate, and I say it right out loud.

Yesterday was our day to host the grandkids. While we filled their wading pool for their afternoon splash, our weather was cloudy and the water did not warm up much. It's kind of sad to think that true summer weather is probably over.
This was to have been the summer that we'd pay for and take gSon to swimming lessons, but ...
Next year we'll simply do both gSon and gDaughter, I guess.

Not just the conservatives.
There's a Portland city commissioner with a GED who got elected because she hates landlords and ran a quirky bookstore.
She is running against a more moderate black guy with a PhD, with extensive administrative experience, who (gasp!) has taken a contribution from the police union.
The Left is trying to destroy him - concerns about "whiteness" and "white privilege" go out the window when political power is at stake.

Ngo doesn't actually attend the protests - he would be immediately targeted and assaulted if he tried, as has happened on several occasions.
He primarily uses video from pro-Antifa "journalists", who bitterly complain that Ngo uses their stuff, when they would happily film Ngo being beaten if he tried to attend.

it is blue now. Not deep blue because they have to pull it out at the end in Arlington or Fairfax, but it is blue. The only purple thing about the place is they pick a Repub governor from time to time and then try to ruin him and his agenda. They never go for a Republican Senator.
It is not just immigration if you mean from abroad. It is equally a result of migration from other states that the migrants didn't like so much for some reason. They kept their politics because, changing that would be just too much. It is also that the Left took over the schools and they churn out lefties like any other factory churns out their given product.
Virginia went down because their prosperity was just too enticing. Throw in The Swamp and you get the whole picture. There are still a lot of normals but this thing is a tally and there are more of the non normals and unless you cheat, there is little that can be done.

It is absolutely true that most men way over spray.
The idea (to me) is that one occasionally gets a hint of someting delicious. Something that makes you want to get a little closer, see if it is in fact you that smells so good.
I am fine if guys don't wear cologne; Thor never has and I am very fond of the way he smells! Years back, I did try and dab some Drakkar Noir on him, but he never got interested enough to keep wearing it.

Most state senates used to be like the US Senate - apportioned by county, not population. The idea was the the urban interests would be represented in the state house, and the rural interests would be represented in the state senate.
The US supreme court held that state senates also had to be apportioned by population - that it was illegal to mimic the US congress in the state legislature.

"Basement smells a little funny. What could it be?"
"Oh, there's an old deep freeze there. Maybe it's gotten musty inside."
Lift lid on deep freeze. Big, big mistake. The seal on the lid was very, very good. How good was it? Good enough to hold back almost all the smell of a hundred pounds of rotting squid, in a freezer that had been unplugged for two months, in Calgary, in July.

In 2012, I lost a cousin, Anton Butler, to what we believe was police misconduct. I loved Anton. I helped raise Anton. I look at his picture every day. He entered the world with as much promise as any human being I've ever known. I'm haunted by his death and some of the choices he made in his life. He was a good person.
I don't believe his name should be honored on the back of NFL helmets. Being a victim is not an accomplishment. It's a tragedy. Furthermore, we need to acknowledge that not all victims are innocent. Some people repeatedly place themselves in harm's way.

that is a great sentence. Probably some stories there. As for Fluff, Tiger dumped him when he got too big. He dropped his coach Bruce Harmon for the same reason. I am not anti Tiger, I root for the guy to this day. He seems to be a better man now and he appreciates the golf world more. But no doubt there was a time when if you got too big, you left Tiger's orbit.

Just to be clear its not a bad series, but they just seen to add in this awful crap hour no reason what so ever, at the detriment of everything else. Like in the RPG episode they spent 10 minutes on that Gay bash the Christians game, and maybe 2 minutes on the guy who created the amazing art for the final fantasy games and maybe 30 seconds on D&D.
I've found some great documentaries on older games on Amazon, there's probably around a dozen total, with 6 or 7 being better than vlogish crap.
Also, for those into it, on Netflix there's an anime called High Score Girl that's actually revolves around early 90s arcade games and will make you feel nostalgic of you were fans of them (also the show is pretty entertaining at times and funny)

I can only think of one worse story than that. A couple decades ago, there was a fad of raising emu's on some farm land - the meat was supposed to be valuable, I never really understood it, must have had a real good salesman. Anyway, some farms started raising them, and there was this big refrigeration plant that used to store Schlitz in Longview, Texas. They went into the long term meat storage business, for all these farmers who had this emu meat that nobody actually wanted to buy but they kept thinking someone would want.
They got up to having 50,000 pounds of frozen emu meat stored in that place. They ran out of money, they couldn't pay the electric bill for all those freezer units. Power got shut off on a hot summers day in Texas. The owners took off for parts unknown - leaving a building with 50,000 pounds of hot, rotting, stinking poultry inside it.
People I knew said that you could literally smell it from a mile away.

One of the things I used to love about going to the flagship Macy's on 34th St was the perfume/cologne girls on the first floor near the entrance. Getting a dab of some stuff on your wrist then walking around the store and seeing (?!) how it smells over time is a great way to know if something works on you or not without having to pay a fortune; they also had little glass tube samples which were good for a tryout, too. Some stuff smelled great in the bottle but horrible on me. But if it smelled horrible in the bottle, I wasn't touching it at all (read: Polo by Ralph Lauren, the 'ralph' part being very appropriate as that stuff was gag-worthy).

Video of Malig-Nancy Pelosi in the beauty parlor was shown on the San Francisco (local) evening news tonight, along with critical comments from a salon owner.
Apparently, 54% of storefront businesses in SF are closed and unlikely/never to re-open, due to the lock-down.
We saw, yesterday, the lines to rent U-Hauls in SF, to escape SF.
I think the political winds in (Northern) California are changing.
I very much want to see Pelosi defeated in November.

If you wear it enough days in a row eventually your brain learns to tune it out. It really does. Unless you're doused in it or it's really cloying. It's really odd. I don't smell mine anymore except for the few seconds when I put it on.

I find it completely implausible that there will be any meaningful political damage to the one-party racist-totalitarian Dem stranglehold on northern CA (and all of CA).
There has been no GOP, or a GOP that offers any actual alternative, for a political generation, at least (it's like the national GOP, just much worse).
The state got to its present condition for a reason - its voters. Possible some House seats will be de-harvested. Who knows, maybe there are assembly or senate seats that might change, though I doubt more than one or two. But that's it.

I agree, a stroke of genius, or as Bad Fingerbang Joey recently said, Trump is stroking violence in US cities. His few remaining brain cells are arguing over which one gets the last dab of paste.
Really I'd like to know who came up with the deputizing plan, but I suppose it is best if antifa/blm doesn't know cuz you know they'd be headhunted, probably literally.
And hey, if your town doesn't have the manpower for a riot, deputize some citizens.

Take note:
..A warm, moonlit night on the water, under sail on a long, beam reach. Fresh breeze, gentle waves and nothing but horizon on the bow.
Music, just barely loud enough to be heard, yet, not interrupting the mood.
Rounding up into the wind, the anchor is dropped and the boat swings 'round as the hook is set. Hurrying slowly (yes), the galley is opened and put to use.
Shortly, a modest feast comes forth, served abovedecks upon the cockpit table. A brass, hurricane lantern competes with the moon, and loses, but is content in it's defeat to shine gently o'er the fare.
Succulent, greedily consumed by hungry lips, hot, spicy and flavorful. Dinner ignites other, deeper hungers, soon to be explored.
The wine flows freely, but not to besot. Fuel for the fires though, and the sweeter for it.
Moments are savored as time is lost. Talk of lives, loves, losses even, open further the souls, and make ready the hearts.
Now then, the dance is begun, the cabin grows warm and close. Waves smile upon the boat, taking the rocking they find, as compliments to their toils.
Dawn comes unbeknownst, yet, the morning is sweet and the sun is soft. And welcomed.

it might be the only way to wake some people up. Are Califorinos still unable to get a hair cut? Pelosi is a denizen of the Swamp. Most Swamp folk live in Virginia if they have a clue. I don't know where she lives nor do i care. But she spends a lot of time in the DC area and she could certainly get a haircut in the region legally. Was this in CA? Does she think it will help?

I've never really put much stock in wearing a fragrance as a means to attract women. Growing up as a kid it was both grandparents, father and uncles that wore the stuff as primarily good personal hygiene. Of course you got the basic "you always smell good" or the occasional "thats my favorite cologne on a guy". Always a good doorway to conversation when you catch a compliment from an attractive woman. I'd say the majority of the colognes I wear are for nostalgic reasons. I have colognes that remind me of an old Halloween candle that I accidentally left on a heater register and it melted into the vent. As a kid and I'd smell that candle every time I entered my bedroom until I moved out. I grew up on the outskirts of Reno NV and every time it rained there was nothing like the smell of the dirt, juniper and sage mixed in the air. Springtime was Lilac, Sage and Cottonwood when it bloomed. The yellow Remington or Pro Shot cloths that you did the final wiping with before you put away your rifle or shotgun. Olfactory senses are tied heavily to memory and its amazing how powerful that is.

people are finally waking up to the fact that the NFL is show business. It is not any different than the play down the street or a monster truck rally. Poeple pay them to watch them play a sport well, that is it. Yes, it was a big deal in many cities because they earned that following. It was not long ago when the NFL was nothing, it was certainly nothing outside of certain Northern cities. They earned that following and it became part of the culture. They are now at risk of becoming nothing more than any other street festival.
There is a reason in the South College and High School ball predominates. The NFL risks its stature by its own choice. They could just keep playing ball and bring everyone together. But they don't want to do that, they are so scared they are going to go to the squeakiest wheel. Sorry, I am not going to learn my history from a line backer.
My guess is half the league doesn't want this shite. These guys worked long and hard and a few dummies like Goodell are going to ruin it for them. That is seriously messed up. To go that far, to accomplish that much, and have someone say it is now less than what you believed. Goodell has always been hated by fans. I guess there are a few that he thinks he needs to placate. His tenure will always be looked down on as he is no leader. It is hard to screw up the NFL, you really have to try to do that. I guess Ace was right when he writ it off years ago.

There was, as we made the tack into the leeward, the boat did lift and surge. The race was on with cannon shot and we lifted a 180 jib and flayed out the main to starboard and gunned it under the Golden Gate with bunches of boats to our left and right. Thus was a typical start of the Farallones Race back in the day. A brutal beat out with crew hanging on the rail for 4 hours until we rounded the island...then Bloopers out...full main to starboard again and skimming down following swells trying not to round up all the way back ....good times

I didn't see the story you are referring to. But dont' be too hard on the hunter, a lot of the time these guys are novices. I won't go into details but my dad was once in a military command where anything that happened in that service wen through him. He had to decide who to contact, right up to lets just say the top. Anyway, I remember one night we go a call and some military man was hunting for the first time and got his lungs punctured by a deer.
This guy didn't know how to hunt and didn't know the rules. You shoot a deer and you wait a good thirty minutes after it is down. This guy ran up on a deer he shot and it got up and put his horns in the guys chest.
It was sad all around. But no way should we not care about the hunter. Shite happens and in the end, we need to treat each other with sympathy and respect. JMO.

Bow hunters consider themselves kind of "a little more pure," because of their chosen technique. They have to get "closer" in order to have a good shot...thus they think their hunting abilities are superior in a way.

People often talk about "the good old days", but if they are talking about deer hunting, they have it all wrong. There are more deer in Texas today than in the entire country a hundred years ago. Only hunters making their harvests and paying for licenses have made America full of deer. In 1930, if you shot a buck, it would be on the front page of the newspaper. There are a hundred times as many deer as there were a hundred years ago. And i am careful when i put out numbers, that has always been true about me. I am dead on positive about this one.

i think states make exceptions. You can only kill a wounded animal in bow season with a bow? I just doubt that as it doesn't make sense. There is a reason most guides carry even in bow season. And if you have a ccw, they can't stop you from carrying in bow season. This was a mercy kill. The guy made a mistake. Of course i feel for him, a family lost someone.

most American hunters are not driven by primal hunger. They hunt as a
way of life, they pass the tradition to their kids. Hunters do more for
wildlife than any other group bar none. Hunters keep herds in check and
reduce starvation and the spread of Lyme disease.

Why he did not rifle the wounded buck is beyond me.

PA is very strict but wrong in this case. I have hunted in PA back when the limit was 1 deer and they closed school for opening day. The deer population is so high today that the 1 buck limit would seem laughable or at least archaic. But it is dumb to ask someone to finish off a wounded animal with a bow shot. I know for a fact that you CAN carry during bow season in other states. If you have a ccw, they can't take away your rights because it is bow season. maybe in PA they can, it would not surprise me.

the left is crazy. They really don't care at this point as it keeps them in good graces with their nutty base. But I doubt the DC Council can do a damn think about federal monuments. For sure they should be called out and the country will punish them I hope. But as to actual removal, I doubt they have any authority at all.
The worst thing that ever happened to monuments was that Charlottesville fiasco. I still don't think any of them cared a whit about monuments. If they did, they would have known that in 2017 it was impossible to bring down a monument legally. All they did is hurt the cause of historic preservation. No city regardless of any vote could bring down a monument in Virginia by law. It was not until the Demos took over the entire government in 2019 that they could change the law and start bringing down monuments.
Now I don't know a thing about who went to Charlottesville. From my understanding, they were not my type of guys. I don't doubt some went to defend historical monuments, but not even conservatives stand up for the group. Either way, if they did care about monuments, all they did was damage the cause and hasten their removal. We needed normals who care about history though that might be a shrinking group.
The point is there was no risk of any monument going down legally in 2017. Once the nihilist left took over in 2019, yeah, they can do that and will. But there has been a lot of water under the bridge. And the people who are normals and adults could have stepped forward. I won't forget they they did not. I know historians that had good arguments to make and could have taught people something, but they chose to hunker down when their time came.
Today i doubt many monuments to the CSA will stand for long as no one is giving historical context. There was an argument to make but it seems so long ago now.
I think people have a right to remove a monument in a city if they don't want it and vote for it. But no one is learning a thing about history here, they are cancelling a subject they find to hard imo.

I work till 4:30. Hustled over to the closest barber after work one day, after waiting a week so the long lines and wait times had died down. Got there at 4:45. I wear my hair in a short fade. Number 3 up top, number 1 at the bottom, skim the middle, shape up the back. Done. Any barber worth his clippers can do it in 10-12 minutes.
The barber said "Nope,can't do it. Can't risk getting caught with someone in here after 5. I don't take anyone after 4:30."
I offered him an extra tenner. He shook his head and sent me on my way. This guy's shop is tucked into a dead-end corner at the back, off-the-road side of a square plaza. What, the 'rona cops are gonna go back there, bust in and arrest him for having someone in the shop 5 minutes after closing, in the process of finishing up a cut?
Fuck him. This is why I no longer bother trying to help out the mom-n-pops. This shit keeps happening. They don't want my help, they won't get it.

Regardless, Brave has their's at the bottom, too. I wouldn't be surprised if the industry was trying to move users towards that for whatever reason. That said, you can probably go into settings and move the navigation bar back to the top by unchecking an option.

Much of it has to do with the frequency of reporting. It isn't like the moment someone flat-lines that a call is made to all of the data collecting agencies. A stack of death certificates has to be processed by the facility that first noted the death, through county offices, then state offices, then eventually picked up by JHU, CDC, HHS who then makes periodic changes to their public facing records.
I have to process that, and I am downstream of the main aggregators. Lets put it this way: the data are very noisy and requires predictive smoothing algorithms before being presentable.
Day to day comparisons on raw data makes for truly bad analysis and anyone doing it doesn't know what they are doing and has a blind faith in the purity of a long chain of custody and handling of CCP virus data.

Did you scream and throw things? It's not an official meltdown unless at least one item is broken.

Nope just curled up in bed. My wife accused me of stealing her money and I thought my daughter was accusing me of sex abuse.

Speaking of this walking contradiction that we call Groot... did anyone see her press conference when the reporter asked her about being out of town and if it’s fair that she gets to leave town in light of the pandemic, looting and police being forced to work 12 on and 12 off with no days off????
This fucking bitch answered that question with" I'm here now" with a smug look on her face

wearing the mask
I was thinking of a counter propaganda program and the idea of adding a Covid-19 feature to those stupid apps that mine for high resolution faces.
You know, the apps that after associating various high resolutions images of your face with most of your mobile data will go ahead and allow you to add makeup, facial hair, glasses or "age" your image.
Make a Covid-19 overlay that shows what your face will look like after a year of wearing the mask and the skin beneath the diaper looks sunburned and twenty years older than the rest of your face.
Let people see that and there will be a riot at every court and state house to ban masks forever.

Well someone needs to cruise around town in her uparmored Escalade and her security group to yell at the exhausted cops that have the audacity to be leaning on their cars.

Wouldn't it make more sense to do this. If you think a mask helps you at all, by all means wear a mask. If you think I need to wear a mask, then YOU need to wear two masks.

So as part of my job advising the NGA (who provides the analysis behind policy decisions for things such as this), I have read hundreds of papers covering anything and everything concerning spread, Non Pharmaceutical Intervention (NPI), even the phylogeny of the virus as it spreads across the globe over time.
Nothing dated prior to 2020 in context of epidemiology mentions ANYTHING about masks to control spread in populations. The focus on NPI before and after H5N1 (back in 200
was about "social distancing" and basic sanitation.
And the "social distancing" at that time was defined as self-quarantine of the infected, nothing about this two meter distancing while in public. Particularly in papers that were coauthored by the asshole Nigel Ferguson of Imperial College shame that recommended these draconian and utterly worthless measures.
This is all new bullshit. We moved from just power and control to outright sadism and cruelty.
This only makes sense when you apply the template that our government is actually a hostile occupying enemy force and they delight in your torment.
psychopaths all.
Oh.. and good morning everyone.

I have finally hit the breaking point... all my old Detroit sports gear is going in the burn barrel with the junk mail and empty food containers.
I haven't actually watched sports much in years but hung on to the shirts and caps to show a little pride in the good side of my hometown. Now that even hockey has taken a bite out of the racist segregationist apple I am done.
Sad, bigly sad.
