Saturday Morning Coffee Break
Good morning. Here's another open thread you can opine away and/or bloviate. Just a couple of rules: No bitching about maple syrup on French toast, no running with sharp objects, no hand feeding the bears and be kind to one another.

I have to get the car serviced this week, leaving for Arizona on the 19th. Now, one thing people overlook is the cabin air filter, and I was guilty until a couple service trips ago. That thing looked horrible (I smoke). Imagine if you put one of those under a microscope.
Posted by: bill in arkansas at September 12, 2020 08:55 AM (C1Lsn)
--
A dirty cabin filter can restrict airflow so badly that it will make the air conditioner stop blowing.
Keep that sucker changed on schedule so you don't have to do it on a trip with the wife and kids complaining for an hour until you can get to a town and find a car parts store with one in stock.

The last time we went camping we made the egg in a basket style toast (a campfire staple for us) where you punch a hole out of a slice of bread and drop an egg into it to cook, and then made THAT into french toast.
It was fantastic. Also fun.

A/C to me is life support, as if I lived on a planet with a poisonous atmosphere (in more than one sense, I do) and had to wear a space suit outside my home. I have that filter replaced every year, two at the outside.
Why do the car makers insist on burying it deep within the dashboard? Some models, I understand, you reached from the grille at the base of he windshield, outside: lift a panel, pull out the old, pop in the new, close it up.

"I'm sorry for not updating you last night. When we got home, neighbors were stopping by with tons of casseroles, cookies and lots of other goodies. (The place is starting to look like Costco.) Had a good meal, collapsed into bed and got a full nine hours, which hasn't happened in years.
There is not a whole lot new to report. They decided against attempting to remove the breathing tube because he spiked a fever of 102 the night before. The doctors didn't seem overly concerned with that development, and it responded quickly to Tylenol. Yesterday, he was hovering around 100, which has been the norm for him since this started. The plan is to do the echocardiogram this morning, along with a chest X-ray and proceed from there.
Yesterday afternoon he received the Sacrament of the Sick. Not too many years ago, when it was called Extreme Unction or Last Rites, just the thought of that would have terrified me. Today I am immensely grateful for the gift. We remain very hopeful, and the doctors have explained that this will be a slow process; however, they are cautiously optimistic based on his progress so far.
Thanks for all the prayers and support. It means so much and I really appreciate it."

ALERT: So now we find out that the entire Mueller "hit squad" illegally wiped their phones clean just prior to the investigation of them, all using the same really dumb reason for this "accident", just like Crooked Hillary smashing her phones with a hammer, & DELETING HER EMAILS!
....It has now been determined that the Mueller Scam should never have been set up in the first place, there were no grounds. It was all an illegitimate Witch Hunt, & a big price must be paid. How different my life would have been if this fraud on America was never committed!!!
Was Andy McCabe ever forced to pay back the $700,000 illegally given to him and his wife, for his wife's political campaign, by Crooked Hillary Clinton while Hillary was under FBI investigation, and McCabe was the head of the FBI??? Just askin'?
NORTH CAROLINA: To make sure your Ballot COUNTS, sign & send it in EARLY. When Polls open, go to your Polling Place to see if it was COUNTED. IF NOT, VOTE! Your signed Ballot will not count because your vote has been posted. Don't let them illegally take your vote away from you!

This "Cuties" thing strikes me as profoundly gross and weird. As well as just plain wrong.
Promoting pedophilia now, Netflix? Really?
It seems the shape of a Biden Administration is becoming clearer.
"Idiocracy" is way too mild a word.
I'm thinking..
"Insanocracy" or "Pervertocracy"
works pretty well for a Sniffy Joe led gov't.
So, let's see here -
With a Biden Administration we get:
Endless Gov't Funded Burning, Murder, and Looting by Democrat approved Brown Shirts
a Destroyed economy thanks to the Nude Green Eel
any good paying jobs that remain get shipped over to China
Hunter Biden becomes a trillionaire! (Gotta look on the sunny side)
Endless marxist brainwashing in school, entertainment, sports, church, gov't
Endless promotion of trannies and surgical/hormonal mutilation of children
Legalized pedophilia - cuz they're really pushing this,right before the election
Endless racial conflict.
Anything I'm missing for Our New and Glorious Biden Insanocracy??

My problem with COVID is that we had an excellent, early data point - the cruise ship - and ignored it. Very rarely do we have an isolated population of significant numbers in a range of demographic cohorts.
Things that we learned that need fixing:
1. The media are duplicitous idiots
2. American science education is deeply flawed
3. American stats education is poor
4. We need medical surveillance outside of China
5. Fuck China
6. HQC with magnesium, Vit D, and selenium needs to be an OTC medicine
7. Airflow in nursing homes needs to fixed
8. Respiratory infection protocols in nursing homes and hospitals need fixing
9. Gov of NY and NJ need to be hanged
10. Releasing raw data to the public, so the media can hype panic is a mistake, an analog would be having the weatherman read metar reports and atmospheric sounding data

1. I find it extremely difficult to wade through these stories that insist on using the person's "preferred pronouns." I have to keep going "Who is this "they'"? You know what? MY preferred promouns are "we" and "you (plural0" Have fun with that.
2. This one actually blames her parents' "lies and racist jokes" on her pretending to be, at various times, "Latinx," African American, North African or whichever of the 50 Shades of Whey she chose to "be" at any given moment.
Read the article and it's very clear her family had nothing to do with this deception. The person who outed "they" even states this firmly. But this twisted freak actually blamed her...their...I freakin' give up... lying, racist parents for pretending to be PoC.

Now I do think this creates a huge market for the rollout of some placebo solution that they will call a vaccine - placebo or worse. That's why my wife and I will never subject ourselves to taking anything of that kind, ever. If you insist, I can probably come up with some forged paperwork saying I did it, just like every illegal alien in the country will have 2 days after it becomes a requirement - but I an't gonna actually do it.
The Medical community and Big Pharma, such as it is, has totally forfeited any trust I have in them or in anything they're selling. If they work very hard at being honest and aboveboard for the next 20 or 30 years, well I guess they can get my grandchildren to believe them. But I'm done.

All I know about Lake of the Ozarks, I learned from "Ozark".
I guess what I want to know is, will there be a chance for us to get-
involved in a high-stakes drug war and make a few million dollars while the MoMe is going on?
Cuz I like money.
Seriously though, aside from general lake-stuff (boating, fishing, water-skiing, drug smuggling) -
what else is there to do at LotO?

True Romance - the Sicilian Scene:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3yon2GyoiM
Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper, at the top of their games.
if you've never seen the film, in this scene Hopper knows that Walken is about to murder him, so he insults and angers him so much that Walken kills him fast, before he can force Hopper to give up any information.

Agree, if it was possible to create a vaccine of corona viruses they would have done so with other corona viruses, especially the ones that cause the "common cold."
Viruses constantly mutate and change which is why there are no vaccines for common viruses, even the flu virus vaccine is reformulated every year and has a less than 40 pct efficacy, per CDC it's 39pct.

Btw - changing planes in NY last week before Grand Canyon - the flight out of NY was full - coming back? 25 people on the whole plane. Might have been the date (09/11) but it seemed like everyone wanted out of NYC - and no one wants to go back. And, frankly now that I am here I understand. The city is in a dreadful state; as bad, and, in some ways, worse, than I remember it in the 70's. This may be my last trip here.
Oh - got all my absentee ballot stuff set for the presidential election. Will crawl over broken glass, swim the Pacific and/or even kiss Trigglypuff (!) to make sure I can cast a ballot for Trump. Oh - FYI - in Arizona - which I drover over extensively this past week - maybe two dozen Trump signs spotted- only two Biden signs and one of those was on the county Democrat election headquarters office we sped by on our journey. I know it's just an observation. However, it certainly points to a higher level of enthusiasm among Trump voters there, FWIW.

If it's the all you can eat thing that's driving you, by all means go to Flounders. But if you want outstanding sea food, try the Grand Marlin located right at the toll booth. Or, if you want to make the drive to Pensacola, give the Fish House on Main Street a try.

1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
COMBINE: first 3 ingredients in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 5 minutes or until mixture is bubbly. Pour syrup mixture evenly into a lightly greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Arrange bread slices over syrup.
COMBINE: eggs and next 3 ingredients, stir well. Gradually pour mixture over bread slices. Cover and chill at least 8 hours (I chill overnight)
COMBINE: 3 Tablespoons sugar and cinnamon (or more!); stir well. Sprinkle evenly over soaked bread. Drizzle 1/4 cup melted butter or margarin over bread. Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Serve immediately.
(I'm sure you could use any bread you prefer but I've only done it with french bread. Maybe I'll try something new this year.)

Many lawyers are libs. And government employees, it goes without saying. Doctors used to be pretty conservative, but no longer. I remember seeing a poll a few years back showing the political breakdown by specialties - shrinks and pediatricians are the most liberal and anesthesiologists and radiologists tend to be conservative. Having worked with and known a lot of physicians over the years, that struck me as accurate, although the most conservative one I know is a nephrologist. Younger physicians do tend to buy into the lefty stuff much more than the older ones. My gyn retired and I made an appointment with a young one because I could get in to see her much more quickly. She came walking in the exam room with a BLM button on her white coat. I'll find another gyn next time I need to go to one.

We were told one of our family was a positive test result a few months ago and I'm sure the other three of us were counted as positive since we were quarantined. The kids loved it. Swam in the pool every day, grilled hot dogs, made snow cones and homemade ice cream, set up the tent and camped in the backyard, made smores, and did all kinds of great stuff since we were just hanging out at the house. I painted the bathrooms and built a new bookshelf for the youngest.
Someone had the sniffles briefly but we decided it was the mustard.

Pretty sure it's already a done deal. Just waiting for the right timing.
The new Gulf Cooperation Council is dominated by the Saudis. They tend to move as a block and the Saudis have already given Israel the right to unrestricted air travel over SA.
The first foreign trip Trump took was to SA to help kick off the new GCC and then over to Israel. The Saudis are reforming, slowly but it's happening, and they owe Trump bigly for putting Iran back in a box, Khashoggi and other things.

LOL, check this out :
"Joke-telling in Arabic is a much more drawn-out process than in English, hinging on details rather than timing... At times, the buildup to a punch line is closer to storytelling.
Even within stand-up, much of Arab humor remains regional; referring to well-manicured Lebanese men as "the most beautiful Arab women," or poking fun at Saudis' "disappointment" at the grand opening of the Virgin Megastore in Jeddah."

In pop lingo, we have the far left and the far right. And of course everyone uses those as weapons with which to sting their opponents.
So my question is, what do we do with the nutjob libertarians and anarchists? They're neither "far left" nor "far right." What are they? Far center? Far up? Far down? Far nowhere?
These people are getting louder, and I think there's a lot of people who are young, got indoctrinated by the left, and when they stopped accepting that garbage, decided they would NOT go to the right. So they settled for Ayn Rand and all those other goofs as their political mentors. I keep hearing them say the names, in whispered, reverent tones.
They seem to put everything in political terms, like idiot lefties do, but when election time comes up, they're going to NOT vote for either major party. And talk about the rest of us like we're damn fools.
Next time... next election, they'll be a force to be reckoned with. Just you wait and see. And if you have any doubt, just ask them.

I disagree with you greatly on this one! This entire deal has been the brainchild of Crown Prince Salman of Saudi, and Bibi Neteyehu, in response to Obama tilting US policy in favor of the Iranians. When Trump took office, he sent Jared Kushner over and offered incentives to accelerate the timetable and the cooperation between all of them.
What I believe has been happening is that Saudi Arabia has gotten all of its junior partners to join first, and then it will join a week or two before the November Election, because they're not dumb about our politics. They know Democrats are a threat and an ally of their true enemy, iran.
Kosovo and Serbia getting in on it was all Trump, a brilliant move. And consider this - Bahain is very closely tied to the Saudis, and just two weeks ago said they would only join if the Saudi's gave them their approval. Clearly, that approval was given.
This is going to be one of Trump's October Surprises - well, a surprise to people who haven't been paying attention.

A remarkable number of members of the Royal Family are under house arrest, or have died in mysterious helicopter crashes, since Crown Prince Salman started running things. Weak kings let a whole lot of shit happen while they're snoozing. Strong rulers don't. Oh, but Prince Bandar is a big meanie since he had Kashoggi killed. Yeah, that's what men who know how to hold onto power in that part of the world do.

OBL & al Queda would've likely rather murdered the SA royal family than 3000 Americans. Certainly it would've been a tough choice for them.
Blaming the Saudi govt for 9/11 makes about as much sense as blaming "the Unites States" for Antifa. I mean, Antifa terrorists are American, right? So Trump must be behind it.

Woody Allen used a lot of his career, especially in movies like Hannah and her Sisters, working on that thought.

There was a movie called She's the One about an Irish Catholic family and the father was admonishing one of the sons, saying something he was doing was "against Church rules."
When one of the sons pointed out, "But dad, you don't even believe in God!", the father shot back, "That doesn't mean I'm not a good Catholic!"

libertarians and anarchists? They're neither "far left" nor "far
right." What are they? Far center? Far up? Far down? Far nowhere?
[ . . . ]
Posted by: BurtTC at September 12, 2020 11:03 AM (hku12)
It is not a two pole left/right system, it is a three point system that looks at points of principal importance: Limits, outcomes and individual rights for conservatives, liberals and libertarians.
Libertarians look like they are between the other two poles, but when your view of the world is 2 dimensional that is exactly what the third point of a triangle looks like.
(there are other explanations for this, having to do with psych profiles, but I won't go there)
no one (sane) has a hard centering on any of these points, but a continuum that can take in all three positions.
As for the rest, the drive in the 60s was for the libertarians to ally with the left over the warfare state, and the 50's with what was left of the classic liberals. 80's of course were nothing and went no where.
At the moment there is a schism in the LP between the sort that thought Weld as a good candidate, and the newer gropu called the Mises caucus which is more anarcho-capitalist than Rothbard's hard property rights stance.
the Antifa anarchists are hard socialists, and do go back to the idea of syndicalism as a form of expressing socialism. The anarcho-capitalists are focused on voluntary exchange and go back to Austrian economic school - from Menger who proposed the theory of marginalism, and through von Mises, and Hans Herman-Hoppe.

Yep. One of those big changes was making MB scum like Khashoggi disappear.
The larger Middle Eastern countries are modernizing and looking at economies that aren't dominated by oil. The UAE and the Saudis are the biggest movers in all of this and modernizing means adapting to the modern world. They know they have to have relationships beyond their borders built on trade and normalized relations.
The old ways are dying. It's a mistake to judge what will happen solely on what has happened. Times change.

IIRC, one of the first things MBS did was mass arrest of all of the Saudi family members who have been funding terror, including the vile Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. He's the one who gave Giuliani a check for millions right after 9/11. Probably also included a lot of the ones who had been giving money to the Clintons (remember the prince who bragged Saudis accounted for 20% of Hillary's 2016 campaign and then retracted a few days later?). Think MBS confiscated their millions/billions, too.

It was a suggestion that you look at the article, but knowing that you won't since somebody else has already said about suggestions, "It won't do any good." People repeatedly offer suggestions on here and have for years, because they're caring people who think you're a smart, talented amusing person. The first one I've heard you take is Tami's, I believe, which is a good thing
Jesus asks a question in one of the Gospels "Do you want to be healed?" Some people simply don't want to be, because there are plenty of people on here who deal with or have dealt with depression and, yes, they can actually get help.
1. Therapy or hypontherapy
2. Medications
3. Going out an talking to people. You're a musician- you could do something for others-aside from your kids-by playing music at a nursing home
4. Get a dog and walk it everyday
5. Go to the TXMeet up-I think you are doing that, Thank Goodness.
6. A spiritual approach to life but since you're pissed off at God right now that probably won't work.
7. Forgiveness and moving on.
8. Go to the bar and chat up some person sitting next to you.
9. See if you can get together with Backwards Boy for dinner. He seems like a nice guy who appreciates you.
Nobody here is a your enemy and some people including me praying for your healing everyday..
I have to go now so i won't be able to fully appreciate your complaints towards me.

It's a matter of faith among a lot of people that the Saudi government was deep into sponsoring terrorism. It's not true.
Read the 9/11 report. Listen to what bin Laden himself said. A certain Iranian terror leader who no longer walks the earth was one of the biggest facilitators of 9/11. Iran sheltered and gave safe passage to al Qaeda into Afghanistan.

I am not sure why, but I suspect it is because the ex-old school lefties are trying to recreate the left, and the ex-righties are moving on

Nah. Rothbard may have considered himself to be intellectually pure, Freidman too. Most of the others are pragmatists who are saying, "this doesn't work, let's try something else" Even Rand was full on board with comporting with reality, at least theoretically. That is what Objectivism IS.
The major thinkers in this area made a career saying "what we are doing is not working and this is why we think it doesn't work"
the important thing is, they are trying something different. And they want to be free to do so.
It was one of the LP candidates for the down ticket this year, I misremember, maybe Maine, who said, "You cans stand on the highest mountain and proclaim your self ownership in opposition to the state, but that really doesn't keep someone from robbing your house while you are doing it; you should keep on with your life no matter what your politics are"
