Saturday Overnight Open Thread (12/5/20)
A young blonde woman from Brooklyn was so depressed that she decided to end her life by jumping into the ocean. She goes down to the docks, but just as she is about to jump in the water, a sailor sees her.
"Hey, what are you doing?" he calls out.
"I have nothing to live for. I’m jumping in."
"You’re young, you’re beautiful, you have everything to live for," the sailor says. "The boat that I’m on is sailing to France tomorrow. I can stow you away on it. I'll take care of you, I can bring you food every day, and when we get there, I’ll show you all around Paris."
The young blonde woman thinks it over. "What’s in it for you?"
"Well, if I’m going to hide you here, well, you have to ... satisfy my sexual needs during voyage."
With nothing to lose and the prospect of going to France, she accepts. The sailor brings her aboard and hides her in a small but comfortable compartment in the hold. From then on, every night he brings her three sandwiches and a bottle of red wine, and they make love until dawn.
Two weeks later, during a routine inspection, she is discovered by the captain. "What are you doing here?" asks the captain.
"I have an arrangement with one of your sailors," she replies. "He brings me food every day and I get a free trip to France. And in return . . . he’s screwing me."
"He sure is," the captain replies. "This is the Staten Island Ferry."

General Motors knows all too well that a fully electric future is coming. As a company, GM wants to have 30 EVs for sale by 2025 and Cadillac will reportedly be leading the Detroit automaker's electric charge in the United States. Recently, it was reported that GM told dealerships to invest in the future or get out of the way. Cadillac has 880 dealerships nationwide, and now, citing sources familiar with the matter, The Wall Street Journal reports that 150 of them have taken a $300,000 to $1,000,000 buyout to cease operations instead of investing $200,000 in charging infrastructure and other updates to their facilities to support the brand's electric future. This is a little more than one in six Cadillac dealerships nationwide, so in a nutshell, a fair amount of them will probably close. It's unclear if GM expected so many to take the buyout, however, a $200,000 investment is likely a lot to ask for many dealerships, especially during a pandemic. That being said, some of Cadillac's vehicles like the XT6 crossover have seen dramatic increases in sales over the past year, and it's betting on the new electric Lyriq SUV to further improve its fortunes.Instead of EV Cadillacs, maybe the newly retired Cadillac dealers can sell EV snow bikes.
Here on SHIFT, we’ve covered conversion kits that turn your regular bike into an ebike to help you power up hills. But what about when it starts to snow? Well, there are conversion kits for that too. Envo Drive, a Canadian company that specializes in making electric propulsion kits for bikes and kayaks, is taking pre-orders for its “electric snowbike kit.” In short, the kit is pretty simple. You take a bike, replace its rear wheel with the kit’s electrically-powered snow track, and replace the front wheel with a snowboard that attaches to the forks and allows the rider to steer. The battery is attached where a bottle cage would typically mount in the middle of the frame.
I suspect if the snow is 3" or deeper it will be a lot shorter ride.
Speaking of snow. Perhaps Ryan should wear a coat and cap............
You'll be able to catch this dazzling display on December 21, 2020 and because of its close proximity to the Christmas holiday, it's been also dubbed as the "Star of Bethlehem." So what causes the gorgeous cosmic phenomenon? An extremely rare alignment between Jupiter and Saturn. Rice University astronomer Patrick Hartigan dished out to Forbes what makes this visible star so significant. "Alignments between these two planets are rather rare, occurring once every 20 years or so, but this conjunction is exceptionally rare because of how close the planets will appear to be to one another. You’d have to go all the way back to just before dawn on March 4, 1226, to see a closer alignment between these objects visible in the night sky.Which brings us to this really upbeat Neil Young song.

Model claims sunbathing vagina for 2 hours a day boosted her libido Sunshine, lollipops and libidos. A Brazilian model claims that she increases her sex drive with a little afternoon d-light by way of sunning her vagina. “Nothing better than a morning sun…,” 23-year-old Letícia Martins, who goes by Lunna Leblanc, captioned a nude Instagram post of herself this week in which she displays her naked body, legs spread at the sun. “Did you know that exposing your private parts to the sun can provide you with more energy, increase your libido, improve circadian rhythm (which regulates the entire functioning of the human body) and still help you get a good night’s sleep?” the bikini influencer continued in Portuguese, ending the post with a question to her 14,400 followers. “What did you think of this experience
Mark my words. New Jersey officials are so stupid they'll lose money with their state sponsored pot.
TRENTON, N.J. - New Jersey lawmakers may include a so-called social equity tax in the legislation establishing a legal market for recreational marijuana, according to reports. Bills in the state Senate and Assembly would give cannabis regulators the authority to impose the "social equity excise fee," which would help fund programs aimed at reducing racial disparities caused by drug laws.
The black market pot will be cheaper and just as strong. Isn't that what pot purchasing is all about?
Hmmmm, I wonder why........ Taco Bell flopped in Mexico? You shouldn't be a rocket scientist to figure this out.
It may or may not come as a surprise that Mexico is not one of the 30 countries where Taco Bell has been able to pull off a successful expansion, but that is not for lack of effort. Taco Bell first attempted to open a location across the border in Mexico City in 1992. After that failed, they tried again with a different concept in 2007, but that, too, was unsuccessful. So, why have the minds behind some of America's favorite tacos had such a hard time infiltrating the birthplace of the very food they helped to popularize in the United States? We took a deep dive into the history of Taco Bell's attempts at expansion into Mexico to find out why their south of the border locations were destined to flop.
One morning in May 2019, a crowd of journalists gathered around the Biratenu bar in Jerusalem, snapping photos as a bartender poured golden, frothy beer into plastic cups. The story of the beer was both new and very old: The yeast that fermented it came from a 3,000-year-old jug found at a nearby archaeological site.
Settled science or Bull Shit?
It’s hard to listen to Katrina and the Waves's “Walking on Sunshine” without feeling a little like you’re actually walking on sunshine. And ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” is bound to turn you into one for roughly 3.5 minutes. According to Baltimore radio station Mix 106.5, this isn’t surprising—those tunes are two of the most uplifting songs ever to grace the airwaves. Several years ago, UK-based electronica band Alba surveyed an unknown number of English and Irish citizens to find out which songs make them especially happy. After compiling a list of the most popular answers, the band sent it to Dutch neuroscientist Jacob Jolij and asked him to figure out why those songs were such effective mood-boosters. Though Jolij explained on his website that each person’s musical taste is “highly personal and strongly depends on social context and personal associations”—and that the endeavor was “data crunching,” rather than “hardcore science”—there were enough quantifiable factors to draw certain conclusions. In studying the chosen songs, Jolij realized their average tempo was between 140 and 150 beats per minute, which is a couple dozen beats faster than the average pop song. And while a few songs were played in a minor key, the majority of them were in a major one. Jolij also identified trends in the lyrics. Most, he said, were either about “positive events” like parties or romantic experiences, or they simply “did not make sense at all.”
Now time for our Christmas tunes............

They opened an American style Chinese restaurant in China a decade or so ago. It got a lot of publicity and people went there for the novelty. There also expected a lot of expats to go. I think it went bust in the end, but a lot of restaurants of all stripes come to that fate.

I think it was KFC, but maybe it was Mcdonalds. Either way, a fast food joint opened a drive thru in China but the locales had problems with it. They went through the drive thru, got their food, and then went into the restaurant to sit down and eat. They had to be taught that they were supposed to drive away and not be heard from again.

I don't think so. It wasn't a chain. As I recall it was a stand alone restaurant, and not particularly cheap. It was a sit down place but they had American style dishes like Kung Pao Chicken, General Tso's and fortune cookies. There is probably some stuff about in on the net. I recall there was some hubub about the place.
The idea was not terrible. There are lots of expats alone in some of these major cities. I know in DC they used to have some very foreign restaurants way back when that catered almost exclusively to the diplomat community.

It is every other single super movie movie that the hero always won over the villian. Infinity war, the heroes truely lost. Plus, it was the only major comic book movie that superbly developed the villian.
Looking back over the four Avengers movies, this is the one most developed and with the most deadly stakes (Endgame was important, but you knew it would unwrap Infinity War's Snap).
I am drinking, but I have to say this was the greatest movie over the past two decades. Some movies were more emotional, but this is the only movie that Thor almost died and then muthafucka slammed into Wakanda. "Bring Me Thanos!"

On May 29, 7 B.C., there occurred an extraordinary conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in the constellation of Pisces. And it is a remarkable astronomic fact that similar conjunctions occurred on September 29 and December 5 of the same year.
That's from the 1955 Urantia Book. I've lost the link to the guy that used computers to roll back the stars and got the same dates, except I think one day off on the last one of those.
But never mind that. Here's a comic about the wise guys' real story.

Not sure. They have different selections, and I think BritBox's is more extensive. It's slightly more expensive at $7.99, I think. Acorn is $1 less.
I would suggest checking out their selections and seeing which one has more of what you like.

Today Covid became the leading cause of the death in the US this year.
Wrong - three times as many people have died from heart disease, and three times as many people have died from cancer.
Today's second fun imaginary fact from Portland Reddit:
This year has demonstrated how f*cking stupid specifically Americans are. Every other country save a few has gotten their damn heads on straight regarding handling the pandemic. Americans are literally just too selfish and self-destructive to do anything that doesn't subscribe to our nebulous concept of "freedom".
Leftists like to subscribe to this fantasy that every other country has beaten COVID, save for the ignorant yahoo United States.

Not only does the battery lose capacity in the cold, but the vehicle takes more power to move in the cold. Lubricants in the drive gears and axles will be more congealed, tires are stiffer, brakes may drag more, and snow on the road really adds drag.
And then you have a heater and defroster to run, and no waste heat from the engine to use for "free".

As I told the President this morning, I've publicly called for a signature audit three times (11/20, 11/24, 12/3) to restore confidence in our election process and to ensure that only legal votes are counted in Georgia.
then the reply...

But you never got the signature verification! Your people are refusing to do what you ask. What are they hiding? At least immediately ask for a Special Session of the Legislature. That you can easily, and immediately, do.

All in all, Lucy enjoys a good quality of life and apart from some age-related ailments, she had been rated as 'three' on the NHS Clinical Frailty Scale (one is 'very fit' and nine is 'terminally ill').
Despite all this, the morning after the nurse's unannounced visit to conduct a 'frailty review', an envelope was delivered to Lucy's flat containing an A4-size notice with a stark red border.
Designed to be displayed in her home, it was a "Do Not Attempt To Resuscitate Order" and it stated that Lucy should not be resuscitated by doctors, nurses, or emergency paramedics if her heart stopped. It was signed by the frailty nursing practitioner.
"I was shocked the NHS won't save me. If I collapse, they are refusing to put me together again," Lucy told the Mail.

Good for Trump not taking Kemp's excuses. I have pointed that particular thing out three times this week to Kemp's staff when they keep saying the Governor has no power. F that. The Governor has the power to NOT sign the letter of assurance that has to go with certification. The Governor has the power to call a special session of the GA. The Governor has the power to ORDER an investigation into fraud and the swift arrest of individuals guilty of fraud.

ok. well if you fly into Dulles you can see the some of the Air and Space Museum right there. A lot of people fly into Baltimore because SW flies there.
If it is your first time, there is so much to see it would be pretty hard to go wrong. What I don't know is what is open and what is not. The city itself is pretty hard core on lock down but I don't know if they control the Smithsonians, I don't think they do.
Mt Vernon and Old Town Alexandria are good ideas as well. Of course Alexandria is controlled by the uber left now and I know of more monuments, plaques, and commemoratives that have been removed than I know about ones still around. It is still worth visiting the area by the water on the weekends though.
I suggest getting a good guide book like Frommers or Lonely Planet and read up. You can find the stuff that interests you. A lot of the stuff we used to be able to do and see simply are not available these days. For example, I would visit the Capitol Building, but I don't know if you can anymore. You used to be able to go to the top of the Washington Monument, but I again, don't know if that is still a possibility.
I am not trying to discourage you. There are plenty of great sites and monuments. You have the Vietnam Memorial (once the most visited memorial in DC), WW2, Korea, and so much more. My suggestion is to check a guide book and also online to be sure what is open for visitors.

A lot of black women also have zero interest in dating outside their race.
I read an article years ago in, I think, Ebony magazine, where they were saying all the eligible black men were dating white women, and that as a result, a number of black women were becoming lesbians rather than date outside their race.
I don't know about the light skinned woman thing. A lot of the white guys I have seen with black women have been with quite dark skinned women.

Why does the Netherlands allow for legalized murder, er, euthanasia?
Maclean's in Canada published a series of articles around 2014 that had me convinced they were out to sell people on the virtues of euthanasia. It's easier, I guess, to murder people than to tell then to get, and then pay for, their own damn doctor.
A certain category of citizens were more or less free to leave East Germany and in fact were dumped unceremoniously in West Berlin from time to time: the useless eaters, I mean, elderly. Care to guess why?

Also, before the January 5th Senate vote, DNI Ratcliff's report on foreign interference and cyber security will have been out in accordance to EO 13848. It's due on later than 45 days after Nov. 3rd. If you have been watching team trump's congressional hearings, their main cyber witness makes it clear we are at war fighting irregular warfare and the election rigging is one of the main components.

I live in a wintry place and I see a ton of EVs around. Even with
diminished range in winter for the vast majority of people the range is
more than enough to commute to work and back every day on a nightly
charge. I mean how often do you need 200 miles of range on one charge?
For most people never. And if you go ona trip every interstate has
charging stations every 50 miles or so.
The range argument is really not valid anymore.

Noise canceling by playing similar sounds 180 degrees out of phase. Works in headphones. Doubt you could noise-cancel your whole house. Move a few inches, and the phase relationship changes, because the length of the sound waves is small.

The problem is you're talking about a $40K subcompact that requires another $7K-$10K to install a fast charger in your garage, and that $40K subcompact is worth $13K in three years. Go look for Nissan Leafs on your local craigslist if you're unfamilar.
I can go spend that $7000 on a Toyota Camry and use that $40K to drive it anywhere I want for the next ten years and sell the car to someone else for $2000.

No they charge at night in their garage. Or at work as many employers now provide that as a perk for employees at the office. And with super fast charging it takes as little as 15 mins. Not significantly different than gassing up.

You might want to check those numbers... My commute to work was 22 miles. Going home from May through August it was over 100F. You're burning juice to stay cool in stop and go traffic. So there will have to be charge stations for *every* car at your jobsites.
And one of my Tesla friends said their were 20 cars in line waiting to get super fast charging station when he went to Calif last time.

The Amish around here point and laugh at EV. I can and do drive close to or over 200 miles in a day because I want, too. I've never seen a charging station, let alone one every 50 miles. I was born a free man, so anyone telling me what I should drive can f*ck off. The range argument remains extremely valid. Not everyone has the cash to just add a charging station at home, or wants too.

I won't change my mind. EV cars are only possible because they are a tiny part of the market and because they are subsidized. Even with subsidization, they are far more expensive than comparably sized gas vehicles. That does not even touch on the idiocy of Cali saying they are going all electric when they will not allow electrical production capacity to increase. Hint: EVs cannot be charged in a black out.

Ha, that's a great comparison.
Imagine a friend buying a pickup truck and then insisting that everyone needs a pickup truck, and everyone should buy a pickup truck, and in 10 years everyone is going to be driving a pickup truck because pickup trucks are going to change the world as soon as people experience pickup trucks.
That's how 99% of the country feels when the 1% of actual consumers (not businesses or government agency buyers) talk about how awesome electric cars are.

Sorry... math.
Its a simple math problem to convert all the energy used for Personal transportation to electricity.
There are so many Kilowatt hours in a barrel of oil.
To turn our personal Transportation to Electric vehicles, you would have to increase electricity production by 130%.
That's MORE THAN DOUBLE what we currently produce.
Now add in that you would have to add in Transmission Lines?
Basic Physics and Math, are not in favor of electric vehicles.

That makes sense in the abstract, but isn't up to real life standard. As our power grid decays due to the Watermelons 'greening of America' continues, the ability of the grid to charge the number of cars you envision drops precipitously.
For some people an EV is perfect. But that isn't what the watermelons want.
Oh, and the lithium needed for those batteries comes mostly from China. That might be a tad bit of a problem going forward.

When I drove to texas for the MoMe my car was getting 35-36 mpg. It was over 500 miles on a tank. Normally on road trips we would get out and stretch our legs at gas stops, but at 500 miles we're talking way too long with your ass stuck to the seat. Had I pushed it we would have only had to stop 3 times for gas, but we stopped every 300 miles or so when I was showing just under half tank. With the 5 or 6 stops , and screwing around eating and stretching our legs we still made it in 24-25 hours from jersey. Yeah, not doing that in an EV. When I hit the road I want to burn up the miles.

the WeberAuto channel on youtube posted a look at the innards of the Chevy Bolt today. he starts out by laying out the drive train (motor, reduction gears, and driveshafts) and remarking about how small and light it is compared to an internal combustion drivetrain.
but then he brings out the inverter, charging circuit, and one other box that escapes me. not so small now, is it?
but ^then^ he shows us the battery...
the channel also has deep dives into the prius and some continuosly variable transmissions. cool stuff.

There is no rationale for them, apart from niche consumer/cool/whatever preference (= tiny expensive niche market).
Even stipulating the absurd "environmental" basis, they make no sense/difference (as "damaging" in the make-believe framework as ICE vehicles, if not more so).
They require theft (subsidies) and and authoritarianism (mandates) to expand beyond a niche curiosity.
The Volt was said to have an "external combustion engine" - a very good line, probably the main cultural contribution of EVs so far.

Simple fact is, he has some very valid grievences.

He did NOT do the Antifa stuff due to one conversation we had.

It's a toss up for me on the golf carts. One advantage of the gas is you probably won't get stuck in the middle of the course because they gave you a cart that wasn't fueled up. The speed from the line goes to the electric cart though.

Then, since environuts are never happy - we had to recycle the plastic bags - which is a horrible endeavor.
Of course then they shipped them to China since China doesn't give a shit about the environment.
But China realized there is no money in recycling how quality plastic so they just dumped it in the ocean.
And then we had to ban plastic bags because China was throwing them in the ocean.
Until the 'rona showed up. Apparently pollution doesn't matter for lefties when they think touching a re-usable bag will give them China-cooties.

There aren't any ethanol wells, either. You've gotta distill it, which introduces losses.
For true baseload power we've got:
1) Oil
2) Coal
3) Nuclear
4) Hydro
That's about it. Solar is better than it was, thanks to the billions invested, but it's still got the problem that it only works when the sun is shining. Hydro has mostly been fully exploited. We aren't going to get much more of that.
So that leaves oil, coal, and nuclear.

So that's why you're seeing incoherent spasms coming from the Ga Gov and the senate candidates Perdue and ROFLOL (what ever the frick her name is), along with other usually smarmy GOP politicians in other states. First they say no - they saw no fraud - then yes, why yes they did - then no, oh no they didn't - they're becoming Fox news essentially. They desperately want to have the MSM pet their heads, but they are beginning to sense that their usual grift victims are about to hand them those very same heads....on a platter.

1) Did you ever get a chance to ask your Aussie partner if he saw BOC on their (1 and only) Aussie tour about 2012 or so?
2) You ever hear of a shooting/murder at the Dorchester Yacht Club around 1992? I started law school at BU that year and ended up as a juror on the trial in 1994. My 3rd year, my apartment was on Beacon around the corner from Fenway. I went to Sox games to study for finals. Also saw Clemens pitch and the team grab 5 errors, 2 by Mo Vaugh.

Most people in prison for Marijuana aren't there for pot, they were charged and sentenced for pot, but they also tend to have other charges that would give them harsher sentences dismissed, and they plead to the drug charge instead. If you want to lower charges/ decriminalize pot, that's fine by me, but the same people will just end up with a 15 year weapons charge instead.
As for the crack/ cocaine sentencing, it's because one drug is vastly worse. You don't really hear of anyone killing a grandma or shooting a bodega clerk for cocaine, but it's constant for crack heads. They may technically be the same drug, but they affect people differently so they are charged differently.
This also ignores how Meth gets a much higher base sentence for possession, and is mostly a white people drug.

It is valid if consumers say it is valid.
I drive 400 miles a couple of times each way a month across Montana. I can do that at 85mph on one tank of gas. 5 and a half hours. Charging an ev once or twice would add how many hours? Not to mention occasional snow and below zero temps. We have charging stations available but the ev is strictly and urban affectation.

Get an old enough one, and they all run without electrics. The only use of electricity is to run the starter motor, and the car's lights and accessories. The fuel cutoff valve is worked by an electric solenoid, but that can be manually bypassed.
There's nothing inherent to the Diesel combustion cycle that requires electrics, unlike the electric spark required for ignition in a gasoline engine.

Posted by: Asshoes at December 05, 2020 11:35 PM
The way you respond to every EV critical comment with what I can only describe as electric vehicle fanboyism makes you look defensive on the subject and is the sort of action that drives a lot of the hatred. If you are so confident that electric transportation is the way of the future, then time is on your side. We'll all just have to wait and see.
My EV story is this: The "8-bit Guy" (YouTube channel) drove his Tesla to Houston and took the opportunity to get a charge about halfway here because there was one of those rapid charging stations on the way. He figured that he had enough range to get to his hotel in Houston, but some extra charge is a precaution. It took him a half an hour to get a partial charge.
The little Corolla that I drive ("it doesn't so much blend into the backround as it constitutes the background of cars on the road") can get from where I live in Houston to the Metroplex and about halfway back before needing refuelling, and I can go from dry tank to full in about 10 minutes.
The thing that you have to understand is that fuels are cheap. That's kind of like their primary characteristic because people don't burn things that are expensive, unless required by law. When I look at my main expenses in operating my vehicle, back before I was relegated to my dining room/library full time, I was spending about twice as much on financing and insurance than I was on gasoline and other maintenance, and this was a car that I bought primarily so I could drive it by myself about 50 miles a day to and from work.
Nowadays it's about eight times as much for gasoline than it is for insurance and financing, although in March that will drop to three times because my note will be paid off. Yay me.

It takes about 20 minutes and a simple formula and a stove top to convert cocaine into free base (crack).
Just add baking soda and cook.
Similarly, it doesn't take much effort to convert opium into heroin.

Seen, or more precisely, heard them on many drilling rigs. They make an unearthly racket.
Niftiest starter I saw on a Diesel was on a Field Marshall tractor. It had a huge flywheel on the side, with a flip-out knob to hand-crank it. The flywheel also had a spiral groove in the broad rim, about six turns worth. You picked up a little lever, with a small wheel on the end, and set the wheel into the groove nearest you. That was the compression release. Then you grabbed the turn knob on the flywheel and heaved on it mightily. For six turns, gaining a little speed each revolution. And then the little wheel ran off the end of the groove, and the engine had compression. And the flywheel had enough momentum to run the piston up on compression and fire the engine. Usually. Worked for me when I tried it.

So, three categories right there.
Ironically there are those that marginally meet the first category who believe they meet the second category. And those in all categories that believe them.

They did this with the streetcar. They went had paid off city officials wherever there were streetcars and told them to pitch to their citizens that Diesel buses were safer and cheaper and blah blah. And so it happened. A most efficient and already paid for city wide transportation was ripped out of all the cities that had them costing millions and then at a cost of some more millions they bought black smoke belching, noisy and inefficient diesel buses because GM wanted to sell diesel buses. Didn't matter that in the long run diesels were bad for the city and the country.
Now they're doing it again. You hear anyone rallying about getting an electric vehicle? No. You do hear people saying it's inevitable so they're going to get in at the start.
It's all a scam and another way for the UN and other globalists to get their way. Having the citizens have their own private means of travel is not good for a dictatorship.

Late addition here, but the severe logistical problems with an EV mandate for about 1/3 of the land area of the lower 48 would result in certain war. The heat issue has already been mentioned, but being able to double your range capacity by buying $100 worth of gas cans that last forever is also a big deal.
Punitive ICE vehicle taxes, bans on their sale/parts/repair, deliberate disruption or prohibition of gasoline - any of those things, war. And I don't mean go out and break a few windows war, I mean biblical, salt-the-earth-and-kill-em-all war.
Moonbats throwing fits about their dogma of the week is one thing. Taking the ability to keep the lights on from the people that actually keep the lights on is another thing entirely.
Electric vehicles are cool and in most ways a lot more reliable than their gas and diesel counterparts, but it's not time yet and won't be for a while.

Hand crank, IIRC. Possibly also electric start. The beauty of the pup motor is that it was plumbed into the big Diesel's cooling system, so the heat thrown off by the pup motor could warm up the Diesel a bit before you engaged the clutch to crank it over.

I figure they will drive up the price of fuel to encourage the transition, and then once demand is down they will cut production, just not sure where the price will settle. Really just wondering how that will impact applications that cannot switch to electric. Not boats specifically, that just seemed like a good example.

If they drive up fuel prices simply to get people to switch, people will (and should) burn the entire motherfucker down.
The single clear indicator that it's time to go EV is when people are doing it anyways because its the smart choice on its own. Sandbagging one end of the scales to force it not only screws those that can't or won't switch, it's also fucking the people switching over to something that's only relatively more efficient due to government fuckery. And you'd also suck up a bunch of the incentive for EV's to fix their shit and make themselves a better choice.
That would be a command economy fuckup for the history books.
When it's time to switch and they meet my needs, I'll be right there waiting, after the last couple of decades fixing all kinds of ridiculous mechanical bullshit in remote places. But I am convinced that the main attraction of this tech for the self-annointed ruling class is the opportunity it offers to screw with us and control behavior (that should sound pretty familiar lately)

As I say, most of the speech was a rehash of his pre election stump, as well as his "we won, it was stolen, we can't let them get away with it" stuff he said in the call in to the PA and AZ hearings. That, plus his tacked on statements of support for the GA Senators and the need to vote. That was it.
Except for two things.
Both were off hand remarks, one of those obviously not on the teleprompter. He said he had expected to win on election night and then take a couple days off. But instead he's worked harder than ever since then.
The other was when he said he's gotten to know so many representatives and senators during all this, and he wasn't talking about federal. He then mentioned one and then commented on how young he looked, as though this person he's gotten to know was someone he'd never seen before.
Putting the two together: Trump has been working the phones like crazy talking to state house members. He's not just leaving this to the lawyers.
It reminds me of Lincoln working over the federal reps to ensure enough votes to pass the 13th Ammendment.

Craft services is the service that provides food for movie studios cast and crew. The business owner couldn't serve food cause it was "unsafe" to do so but the Whoreywood services set up the same "unsafe" food arrangement 25 feet from her setup but are A-OK to serve.
Literally a "Some animals are more equal than others" situation.

Simple.
Run 1,000 ft. of 3/4" triple-braid dock line around the entire setup. Zip tie the line about 4 ft. up the support legs.
Hook it all up to an F-350 Diesel Dually, and haul onward about 500 ft.
Unhitch the line, and drive away.
The Restaurant Owner might not be allowed to take in and serve the Production.
But neither will the bastards who thought they WOULD, either.

They will find a way to defend the cause and defend those that should go broke. The Ditzy Chicks lost there entire fan base but they were held up by country music hating leftists for at least a few years. Dicks sporting goods turned on their customers, but somehow found a way to make it and even prosper for a few years. That is the thing about the Left. They will rally the wagons and if they think we are against a company, they will defend it. It might be time for some reverse psychology, but it will have to be some serious stuff. The Left for the most part knows what normals want and they will do anything to defeat it.

I have been there, Romeo, stay strong. One thing I have learned in this life is no matter how bad you have it, someone else has it worse. It is not a contest, but a reality. I felt the same way taking care of my parents. Neither of them made it to 80. Sure there were relatives and friends that took an intermittent interest when it was convenient for them. . But any caretaker knows convenience is not the rule of they day. You have to be there whether it is convenient or not, a day you wish to be involved or not.
My suggestion is there is a point relying on certain people to change loses its value. If you want to be around more people, and you want more people involved with you, find better people. You can't make people care or understand. They either do or they do not.

I hope that wasn't about me. I don't think it was but I hope it wasn't. I took a few shots at marijuana only to question it. On one hand adherents usually say it is non addictive and safe. On the other hand, they tend to defend it as a way of life.
I am all for freedom and doing what you want if it harms no one else. I think the verdict on legal marijuana is far from coming in. I bet if you asked people in CA, CO, DC etc, they would not call it a roaring success. I could be wrong about that, but you don't hear much about how great it has turned out.
My issue with marijuana is we were taught it was horrible by society. Now society says it is just fine, we were wrong I guess. But you rarely see a drinker, much less an alcoholic, complaining that people criticize booze.
Again, I am for freedom here. I have nothing against your choices. Hell, I like to chat with you and find it amusing there is a San Francisco Goth hordian. Originality alone should give you some cred!
btw, I hate text too, it is a very poor way to communicate. I don't count this as test as Horde members have an innate ability to understand each other. Sometimes it goes haywire but that is rare in my experience.

Good advice, right up until the covid hit.
Now, there is no social life. Hell, even relatives are not welcome in the house, due to pure fear (not mine, but others).
which truthfully is part of my frustration. Life COULD be much better. Mom COULD see her friends. Mom Could go to church. Relatives COULD allow her to see her Great Grand Child.
And Hell, I could be dating.... or at least get a damn drink in a bar somewhere.
But... the combination of circumstances is really tough.
And I say this as someone who helped pick up bodies after the Beirut Marine Barracks Bombing in 83.

This is definitely not a cake-walk.
In my case I think the rest of my family is grateful it's me and not them. I also think they don't know how to help. In some ways I guess that's my fault because I don't ask. But it's disappointing. And I have to keep telling myself that it's not that they don't care about mom/grandma, but see I'm handling it okay. I also have my oldest son doing a large chunk of time "grandma-sitting," so I do at least have that.

Too bad we don't have to choice to decide how to prefer to experience loved ones.

experience with marijuana and just parrot what they've been told, or
told themselves, and then they sound like the average Biden supporter
who thinks Joe fucking Biden got more votes than anyone else in history.
Humans are a complex combination of brain architecture, internal
wiring, and neurotransmitter and related chemical levels. What works for
one person doesn't work for another. If I had to choose between
marijuana and alcohol, no question I'd choose the former. Imagine you
get to watch your favorite movies but with the color saturation turned
down to 50% of normal. That's normally me. Marijuana turns my color
saturation to 100%. That really makes art/music/literature all the more
enjoyable, truly. So that's my shpiel.

I know Joe Rogan is on your side, and so are a lot of people. If you asked me a decade ago, for sure I would say it should be legalized. I would have said it is a plant and no one should ban a plant. I also would have said to government should stay out of it, people should be able to grow their own plants and do with them as they wish as long as they hut nobody else. Yes, I had a libertarian-right streak. Trump helped move me less libertarian. I am not easily convinced but some realities show themselves so much you have to take notice.
My problem with SOME pot smokers is quality of life. If you life on a farm or even the 'burbs, it should never be an issue. But if you live in and apartment in the city, do you have to smell that stank all the time? What do you tell your kids when you are using the and elevator that reeks of pot?
To me it comes down to respecting others. I get some live in the bush and others live on top of each other in cities. It is not fair, but the city dwellers DO affect each other. Even playing music loudly affects the quality of life of the next door neighbor.
I say legalize weed but also enforce every law and ordinance that protects quality of life. The other option is for people to respect each other much more than they do.

Always read the package when buying shredded cheese. They put in an additive to keep the cheese from sticking/clumping. Often it's either potato flour or cornstarch. But sometimes it's cellulose (wood pulp).
Personally, I'm not a fan of buying shredded cheese because the additives can cause it to melt funky or taste funny.

yes. Shredded cheese is almost never the right call. i did get some recently to spread on chili but my thought was the starch added would help thicken the chili. But in general you are so right, skip shredded cheese, buy a block and a cheese grater.

But then, the times I've pitched in, I was not asked, I volunteered.
So I find myself, disappointed.

Congratulations on making the soup. So glad you liked it. It's now a go-to keeper for me as it's a relatively quick soup to make. And your Mom has good taste, asking for seconds.
I hope you used fresh ginger. I find grating it a bit of a pain but worth it considering the end product.
And as I said, you can make it in the summer and serve it chilled (with that dollop of sour cream). Very refreshing on a hot day.
I've thought of making a main course out of it by adding curry powder to the basic recipe and cooking some fresh shelled shrimp in it at the end.
That soup has lots of possibilities.

what they should do is offer to spell you for a week or two once a year. It is not so much them caring for the parent, as it is giving you a break. They know you can do it, but caregivers need a break now and then. There are even some government or charitable orgs that try to do this.

Not a huge fan of curry, but the shrimp would be interesting. Maybe with a mexican spice? Can't go too spicy with mom, but that is remedied with separating some out for her before adding extra spice for me.

SoCal is the home of In-n-Out Burger, which i LURVE, as any good native does.
i contacted their corporate after my FPIES hit.
they got back to me and: i can' have the bun, the cheese, the spread (which wasn't a fave of mine), or a chocolate shake.
AND i have to tell them my issues, so they can stop everything, clean the griddles, the utensils, and everything else, then cook my lonely Double Double, sans bun, and then get back to preparing everyone else's food.
if you aren't familiar with the chain, i've never seen a location w/o a line of walk up customers, and two lines of cars, waiting to either order or pick up their food.
Lost Angels is full of self-absorbed assholes who would have no problem making all those people wait whilst they got their one burger, but i ain't one of them,.

A few days ago, an AZ judge ordered 100 mail in ballots be analyzed, and they were 3% altered for Joe.
So Robert Barnes tonight texted the next step:
A court ordered statistically significant sample of Arizona's mail in ballots found 11% of the accepted ballots did NOT match according to the Democrats' own expert. That is thirty times more illegal ballots than the margin of victory. Georgia, Pennsylvania & Nevada likely worse.

We just have to grind it out. The corruption is there, and those who would look the other way are getting exposed. After tonight's GA Trump rally, he is still in it to win it. The state legislatures need to be continued to be pressured. Courts need to step up and do what the laws and Constitution says.
I remember an old TV series in BlackandWhite as a kid, "Profiles in Courage", the TV adaptation of JFK's book.
We need legislators and judges to be today's examples of Profiles in Courage.
That's how it gets done. This local AZ judge who is taking small steps is another worthy official.

We have quite a few writers at the HQ, and we even have a Limerick Genius. So I thought I'd throw this bit of poetry out there. I enjoy poetry, but poetry that follows rules, not the Maya Angelou 'I know why the caged bird sings' crap (because the bird is singing a funeral dirge due to the pain your poetry is causing the poor creature, Maya). Rhyme schemes, meter, stanza length, sonnets, etc. To me, the best poetry is poetry that follows some rule or two, but those rules don't stick out like a sore thumb in the finished product, that is, the poem flows within the rules. I also enjoy poetry that has humor or a game in it, within some sort of rule.
Here's my favorite Ogden Nash poem. Nash is famous for his humorous poetry but this is a serious one he wrote in 1938. I was visiting a friend's parents in Connecticut and perused a bookshelf in the bedroom in which I was staying and found a book of poetry with this one in it; I had never read it nor heard of it before.
The Japanese
How courteous is the Japanese;
He always says, "Excuse it, please."
He climbs into his neighbor's garden,
And smiles, and says, "I beg your pardon";
He bows and grins a friendly grin,
And calls his hungry family in;
He grins, and bows a friendly bow;
"So sorry, this my garden now."
-------
The following one is my own, probably my best effort. (I have lots of balled up sheets of paper disintegrating in landfills across the country as I'm a harsh critic.) With this one, every line should be centered, but I'm not going to try to do that here. Screw you, Barrel!
A Primer
A brisk chill does evoke fanciful games,
Hidden in January's keen light.
Many nuances often play quietly, rapidly,
Sluiced through undercurrents,--veering wistful,
Examining yesterday's zeal.
---------
Like I said I like rules -- and games -- in poems.
Now back to your regularly scheduled ONT.

For the shrimp version, replace the ginger with ground cumin and add fresh chopped cilantro sprinkled on top. Why not? Like I said, the soup is extremely versatile. You could even add some crumbled Mexican cotija cheese at the end; it's a Mexican version of feta as it doesn't really melt.

Mlii if it means anything to you, my father had dementia and I was one of the only of my six brothers and sisters that he remembered toward the end, and I felt blessed to go visit him and give him comfort. He died September last year and I am so glad he did not have to go through the Wuhan scam.

Yeah, mom has no clue about current events. I guess that is something to be thankful for except she doesnt understand why we dont go out much.
As for recognizing people, she knows me but not always that I'm her daughter. Somedays sister, somedays mom, somedays just the one who does all the stuff. Same as my siblings, she knows they are somehow people in her life, just not her children
Broke my heart last week when she had all her rings laying on the nitestand. Including her wedding and engagement rings. Said they werent hers.

recogniztion is a strange subject when it comes to dementia. It is a tricky subject and I am no authority. I do know one of the most painful moments with my dad was when he asked me about kids I never had. That was long before the end. It gets worse, but for me it got better in that it didn't involve such a stark example of what they recognize, see, or understand.
One thing that killed me was my own mother regularly lamented that my dad recognized me more than he did her. But the reality I knew even then was that that was not true and it could never be true. My parents had an old school bond, it was a marriage from the old days and there was zero chance my dad would recognize me over my mom.
What was the case was she was no longer mobile. She could not get close to him without a lot of effort and help from others. My dad knew me as the guy who brought him food, held his hand, and spoke to him gently. Sure he knew me, but as what I will never know.
That is the horrible thing about Alzheimers. We simply can not know what is going through the afflicted's mind. I still think it is a bigger test of the care givers than it is on the afflicted. But even in that I am not sure. What I do know is the caregivers often keep trying to square a circle. They will argue details with someone who has no ability to understand those details. I get why they do that, it is the world they live in, a world where up means up and down means down. But only the people around the sufferer keep falling for it. There is no debate to be won, no point to be made. The only thing you can do is give the person as much peace as possible. That is my experience and I hope none of you have to go through it. But if you do, I hope even a tiny bit of what I type here offers some help in dealing with it.

That is spot on, Quint.
Hard lesson to learn and accept. Mom is in her own bubble, much like a little kid who thinks the world revolves around them. In the moment is where I have learned I need to be with her.
The hard part is I have to continue living my life as a wife and mom and employee whole honoring my commitment to my mom and my promise to my dad. Balancing it is a challenge. Recognizing it is part of the battle, I guess.

it should result in you thinking of your own mortality.

some said my dad fell from a great height. I get the point, as he was a leader of men. But disease is disease. I take pride in that he lasted 12 years with the disease. We had to look back to realize when it started as you are in denial at first and sometimes it seems like simple forgetfulness. Ronald Reagan lasted 12 years and he had the best care anyone could have had. My dad was in great physical shape going into this thing but nothing could have stopped it. His mother died of dementia too.
We tried everything. He did not just sit around and he was regularly tested and engaged mentally. But the progression of the disease happened over time and it was what it was. I don't regret a minute of it to be honest. In fact, I wish I had just one more day with both of them.

I hear ya clutch. I don' know your situation or anyone's situation but my own. But Alzheirmers is a deadly disease and it is not based simply on old age. Sure there are senior moments, but they are not Alzheimers. I can tell you many family members called me wondering if they had it too. They even went in for testing. I don't claim to be an authority of anything but my own experience. But I can tell Alzheimer's a mile away. There are certain things that give it away immediately. Senior moments are not Alzheimers
but you went through it Clutch. I am saying this to people who might be wondering about relatives or even themselves. Sure age is a factor, but looking back, my dad was highly educated, in peak physical health, and a leader of men. But he was in his 60s when dementia took hold.
Then I see guys on Wall Street in their 90s who are way more lucid than I. I guess it is luck of the draw in many ways.

you are not kidding MLII! It is the real conundrum there and I am not making light of it. In general a parent wants their kid to prosper, build her own life, and care for her own kids. No one wants this situation. Then again, someone has to care for them, and that care giver deserves all the praise we can offer. I get what you are saying. I didn't have the same issues, but we all know what the parent wants in general. But they also want to be cared for in their time of need. I wish I had an answer to that one.
I can say I ran into an old church friend and he told me he lost his daughter. I mention that as life will throw some real curve balls sometimes. We do the best we can I guess. I respect what you are dealing with MLII.

Scott Adams says about if vote was stolen, remember, the Bullies chased out the witnesses to the vote count in the key cities. Everything past that doesn't matter. All that matters is that it was non-transparent by force.

sometime this week for the memorial service. It was expected. She was
101. You can't live forever, though she certainly tried. My sister and I
talked to her last Sunday. She was annoyed the Steelers game was
postponed. Heh! She was born in 1919. She was married to my grandfather
for 72 years. He died in 2012. I think the story I heard that stands out
about them was from my mom. They were at some outing and my
grandparents were sitting together. They were both in there mid 80s.
Some young lady who had a string of bad relationships saw them together.
My mom told her about them and this gal sighed "I want that". My
grandparents were unique and wonderful and I'll miss them.
Posted by: Puddleglum at December 05, 2020 10:29 PM
sorry for your loss Puddleglum. She had a life well lived. I used to hate the Steelers as I am a Cowboys fan from a yute. But I have spent a fair bit of time in PA and in general, I like Steelers fans.

BIG WIN FOR HONEST ELECTIONS.
Antrim County Judge in Michigan orders forensic examination of 22 Dominion voting machines.
This is where the untrustworthy Dominion machine flipped 6000 votes from Trump to Biden.
Spiking of votes by Dominion happened all over the state.
4:12 PM Dec 4, 2020 from Washington, DC
... CDMedia is told a Trump cyber forensics team is wheels-up in a jet enroute to examine the devices.
Michigan counties were forced to buy these high-cost machines (approximately $7,500 each) and sign grant agreements restricting county election officials from examining the equipment.
A Zuckerberg-funded entity provided the equipment for free once local officials agreed to not ask any questions. We understand the contracts for these backroom deals will be released shortly.
CDMedia will be releasing more as we get it...

what is going to happen to the price of the gas that you put into that
boat? There is no way that the big twin or triple engine boat you take
100 miles off shore will ever be electric, so what is it going to cost
to put 300 gallons of premium into it?

Trump's lead counsel in Georgia, Ray Smith broke down how tens of thousands of illegal votes were cast.
2,506 felons illegally voted
66,248 under 18 registered to vote
2,423 weren't registered at all
1,043 used a PO Box
4,926 voted past the registration date
10,315 died before the election
395 voted in two states
15,700 moved out of state before the election
40,279 changed county and didn't re-register to vote
Joe Biden is ahead of President Trump in Georgia by about 12,000 votes after the last rigged recount.
Matt Braynard's investigation supplied these stats and has joined the Trump team in their lawsuit. All names were verified, and are 500 pages of names, addresses, birth dates, as attached evidence in the lawsuit. This is their breakdown.

In the EMT Skip posted a link:
https://www.heritage.org/voterfraud
You can look at each state for voter fraud charges from previous elections. People were charged and fined for things like you have listed above.
This has to be the case with the 2020 election. Every state needs to be investigated. I'm hoping the WI legislature's announcement will lead to seeing a breakdown of what happened here.
