Saturday Overnight Open Thread (3/27/21)
.jpg)
Is this you when you go out drinking?
Talk about embarrassing adventures..................
There are too many people moving to our area. If you want to move use this website for cities who want you.
Over the past several years, a handful of states and smaller cities have tried to get members of the remote workforce to give up their big-city lives (and rents) to move to their town—luring them in with everything from cash, to land, to bicycles. While those offers may have been tempting before, a lot of office-based workers didn’t have the option of relocating to a new city and keeping their job. But now, more than a year into companies realizing that their employees aren’t children who won’t get anything done unless the boss is in the room, the idea of packing up and starting over in Tulsa, Northwest Arkansas, or Vermont isn’t just appealing—for more people than ever, it’s a possibility. And now, shopping for a new hometown that’s vying for your residency has gotten easier, courtesy of a new website that puts all the information you need in one spot
Our friend Hrothgar regularly contributes to The ONT. The following was submitted by him. Good fare for a Saturday night. Meet the Boutique Southern Distilleries You Need to Know About
The South is home to some of the in the world, with legendary brands like Jack Daniels, Maker's Mark, and Jim Beam poured into glasses in nearly every bar in America and beyond. But lately, a new crop of booze makers are making a name for themselves. These micro-distilleries in every corner of the South are honoring the traditions of the past while blazing exciting new trails of their own. Sure, you’ll find plenty of great booze being made in Tennessee and , but you’ll also find incredible spirits crafted in places like Maryland, Florida, and Texas. Get ready to take a tour of the South’s best craft distilleries. We’ll explore plenty of the high-quality that put Southern spirits on the map, but also vodka, moonshine, , rum, non-alcoholic spirits, and even Vietnamese rice liquor. These are the boutique Southern distilleries you need to know about.
In July of 1945, Han van Meegeren picked up his badger-hair brush and began to paint his last forgery. Over a decade, the wiry Dutchman had surreptitiously become Europe’s premier conman -- a disgruntled artist-turned-forger who’d sold his works for tens of millions of dollars. Fueled by rejection from the art world, he had duped leading critics, wealthy collectors, and even a high-ranking Nazi official into believing his works were real. What’s more, he had chosen to do so by emulating the works of Jan Vermeer, a technically-immaculate master of the Dutch Golden Age. But post-World War II, a “Vermeer” painting sold to Nazi Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring was traced back to van Meegeren -- a painting of such high quality that experts agreed no one could have possibly fabricated it. Accused of plundering for the Germans, the artist was sentenced to death. In an odd twist, van Meegeren was given one last chance to prove his innocence: If he could produce a brilliant forgery before the eyes of court-appointed witnesses, he'd be spared. What ensued would make the man one of the most popular figures in the Netherlands. This is the story of Han Van Meegeren, the most dramatic forger of the 20th century.
I try to keep the Saturday ONT mainly a No Politics/Current Event Zone. But, I just love the following video. I've seen it numerous times. And it still makes me giggle like a 9 year old.
Not that I'm Romeo, but there has to be better ways to express one's love.

It's bad enough his girlfriend broke up with him. Now he has to bail you out. Now that is a Genius Award Winner.
KEARNS — Criminal charges were filed Thursday against a Murray man who police say was involved in a drive-by shooting targeting his friend's ex-girlfriend. Bradon Alex Quilter Watson, 20, is charged in 3rd District Court with possession of an explosive device, obstruction of justice, and shooting resulting in injury, all second-degree felonies; three counts of illegal shooting, a third-degree felony; plus criminal mischief and trespassing, class B misdemeanors. On March 16, Unified police officers at the Kearns precinct heard gunshots and squealing tires about 1:40 a.m. They quickly found a house near 5600 South and 4200 West that had a bullet hole in the front window and four shell casings on the ground outside, according to charging documents. A vehicle was also in the driveway with its tires slashed and part of a blade sticking out of one of them.

Tried to order some 3/4" to 1/8" audio plugs. Amazon has a good one in a two-pack for $8.99. Ordered it a few days ago.
First shipment yesterday: got an empty packet. Immediately put in for a Kohl's return. Amazon said they'd replace today.
Today's shipment: got ONE when I was promised two. Threw a tantrum. Tried to exchange again and was told online I could only return, and yes I have to return the one plug. Got even madder, then put in for the return.
Then I canceled the return and called Amazon customer service. Indian-sounding guy said keep the plug you got, we'll just send you a refund and do you want it on Amazon credit or your card? I said card. Meanwhile I ordered the same thing again, at eBay.
Grrrr! Jeffy is really letting his place go.

What got me that the idiot Mom kept saying she pd for the brides' dress. Well she didn't spend too much on her Walmart "mother of the groom's outfit".
When we md my Mom couldn't find any material she wanted to use in Rockford so she went to Chicago buy some blue material to have a dress made for her.
Asking the 'ettes is this normal behavior? For context she was 45 at the time. Weird to me, and poor Dad tolerated this.

Comrade, after the recommended course of electroshock therapy, you will barely remember any of the atrocities of the Japanese in WW II. In fact, you probably won't be able to find information on WW II other that the anti-Japanese bias of the US government on December 7 1941!!

So nice to walk into a Walmart or an Albertson's without a face diaper.
admittedly the Albertson's was 90% masks, but nobody said boo to the few of us rebels. Walmart was more like 50%.
When I drove through Wyoming, it was more like 5% masks, everywhere I stopped. Really gotta get Mrs. Mahon to agree to move up here.

You're very kind. Just a lousy day, that's all. Mad at myself and where I am in life.
How about a picture of a pretty girl? This is Colleen Moore, a star of the 1920s and author of a wonderful memoir, Silent Star. Later in life, she became an investor and ended up immensely wealthy. She wrote a book for women who wanted to invest in the market, and was also famous for an intricate dollhouse which she worked on for many years.

Single malt Whiskey is to be drunk neat. Maybe one drop of water to release flavour. No ice, cola, tab, mixers ever you utter philistines. As for blended whiskeys like Johnny Walker, etc you are to use it to wash car or bike parts. Bourbon is to be used to wash the brush that washes the car or bike parts. That is all, carry on.

Somehow they freed the belly buttons.

It always puzzles me why people would pay for storage of things they should get rid of instead, and if you need that stuff again, buy new. If you're spending $75/month on storage, over a years time that's $900.
Plus if it's in storage that means that you don't really need it.

While Van Meegeren has an amazing story as a forger, I'm thinking he's not even close to creating a forgery that changed the course of history.
From reading E. R. Chamberlin's The Bad Popes, I'm beginning to think that honor belongs to the Donation of Constantine. That one gave Rome and the Western Part of the Roman Empire to the papacy.

Alcohol or drugs alter us ... there may be times it frees us from inhibition that comes from "social justice" oppression. I mean, sometimes our inhibitions keep us from "acting out" against those SJWs, when the proper response really is .. to Act OUT.

Interestingly enough, I recently learned that Cage's composition had a further dimension than simply silence. While the work was composed in an anechoic chamber, it was first performed in a concert hall in Woodstock NY. During that first performance, the audience heard birds singing, the winds blowing, even the noises from the seated attendees. It was never really silent, which was the point of the piece.

Agreed. The person who explained that to me was a summer intern last year at our company; he was a chemistry major but a music minor in college (?!). I said to him that I have very little interest in art that doesn't register beauty with me at a visceral level. Because of that I had a hard time with abstract art, and an even harder time with abstract music. On an intellectual level I can grok what Cage was getting at, but to me that's not a musical experience, but an experiment; the opposite of art.

Okay, the Fed has now moved from reserve requirement to an "ample reserves regime". If you're interested in the details of that, you can look it up.
Here's the short version. They printed so much fucking money, created so much M0, which has to be parked as reserves in banks, that it has just royally screwed up the normal regime of things.
This ample reserves stuff is just some new thing they've come up with to deal with the batshit crazy conditions they've created.

How the banking system works is sort of complex -- far too much to go into here, and if I tried, I'd screw things up.
But you've got to appreciate "what money is". In a fractional reserve system, banks create money themselves. But this not base money, currency, (a large component of which now is also digital, not physical). It's "checking account money".
To illustrate this, I'll contrive a very simple example, which I'll break up into another post 'cause Pixy.

Suppose Mr. Gotrocks has $100 in cash. He goes to a new bank that just opened, no money, no accounts (this would never be the real case, this is a simple example).
Now, he puts his physical cash money in the bank. It goes in the vault. The bank credits him with $100 in his checking account. There is now $100 of "deposit money" backed by $100 of reserves (real currency).
Now, the bank makes a loan to Mr. Hopeful, a $50 loan. They create an account for him, with $50 of deposit money in it.
There is now $150 total of deposit money, backed by only $100 of real money.

Now, you see how the bank created money in a manner of speaking. But this is not real money, this is deposit money. The notion of M1 captures this. M0 is the real money.
The reserve ratio requirement put a cap on how much deposit money can be created out of a given amount of reserves, real money. When it's zero, the banks could theoretically create an infinite amount of deposit money.

Best explanation I've seen is that because of many centuries of adaptation, many northern Europeans (and it goes without sayin, Scotsmen) have developed an ability for their livers to rapidly pump out enzymes which very quickly neutralize alcohol and other sedatives, converting them to sugars or other byproducts. As many of us know, this propensity can also be brought out by many nights of training your liver to do exactly that.

Asset: $100 reserves Liability: $100 deposit
Note that deposits are a liability to a bank. Something they owe.
Now, when it makes the loan, it considers that an asset. So after the loan, it's balance sheet looks like this:
Assets: $100 reserves, $50 Loan; Liability $150 deposits.
You see how that works? The balance sheet still balances, and there is still just $100 of real cash in the system.

true story, I lived 1.5 miles from a SAC base, with B-52s. In 4th grade we had a Nuc drill, that was different, Teachers were FREAKING OUT.
Turns out a b-52, on alert, loaded with nucs, had crashed at the airbase 1.5 miles away.
Did not know the real story until I was an adult.

the big bucks guys were able to leverage up to 300:1 in LTCM, but I am not quite clear on your example. The little borrower is not given cash, he has his loan backed by whatever he is buying. For a house (for example), the bank puts the money up, but holds the lien. ... The high leverage the Big Players get is by other means, methinks .. but me is not so certain on the details ...
But yes, banks "create money" out of nothing ... Freddie and Fannie were leveraged 25:1, Franklin Raines testified they were save even at 50:1 ... while he (and Jamie Gorelick) collected huge bonuses on the scam, and We the People then bailed out the (not really) 2Big2Fail/Jail criminals.

Good explanation as far as it goes, but there hasn't been any "real money" in going on a hundred years. It's all bookkeeping entries (or now, ones and zeros sitting on a hard drive).
Money is worth whatever the powers that be decide that it's worth, and its value will be manipulated by them at will, always to their benefit.

There are some permits available, but typically to registered 'wranglers'. A golf course I regularly play has had a number of gators over the years; when they get to around 7 feet or so they hire a guy to 'remove' it. There is currently a 7 footer there, due to be removed soon I'm sure.
I'd say it is mostly farm raised stuff though, on the food market.

The slightly jaded and cynical Soviet populace made the portmanteau "grob" out of this (pronounced like "grope").
"Grob" = coffin
Part of the not entirely unjustified brouhaha about Soviet strategic nuclear strategery and capabilities in the 80s was their nominally extensive investment in civil defense ("grob"). Especially their urban evacuation plans. Which included large % of the population *walking* out of town (not a whole lot of transportation capacity in the USSR, and few cars).
It was pointed out that on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, with zero govt. involvement, the greatest person/mile event on Earth occurred in the US. By a large margin. It was further pointed out that Soviet urban evacuation materially dependent on people walking might be interesting in ..... winter. The "urban evacuation gap" ceased being a persuasive point.

That simple example is to show how deposit money is created, and how it can exceed the total of real base money in the system.
In reality, the borrower would have (on paper at least) have to have some sort of collateral, something worth $50 that he could put up. The bank creates $50 dollars of deposit money for his loan, and has the loan, backed by the collateral, on it's asset side against the $50.

Don't need a fusion thus far, just a bi-lateral laminectomy and discectomy (L5-S1).
From what I read, I may be more likely to have a fusion after a laminectomy in the future.

The Fed creates base money, "dollars", and the brunt of it is indeed digital, ones and zeros in their computers (which hold reserve accounts for the banks). But there is physical cash, close to $2T now circulating.
One small exception. FRNs, federal reserve notes, paper money, and their digital equivalent is what the Fed creates and destroys. Coins, pennies, quarters, dimes, etc are direct Treasury currency. The Fed doesn't control the creation of that. That total is a small amount relative to the total monetary base, but coin is very different than FRNs.

OK ... in the BigPlayer game, they not only fabricate $50 against the asset, they can "rehypothecate" multiple times against the same asset. iirc, they changed rules, but that still happens for some odd reason, only out of the Bank of England. ... that is why there is still "infinite" leverage. ... but I lost track of how they count M1, M2, M3 ... or your term, new to me .. M0 ... it is why they (banksters?) have nearly infinite assets to destroy U.S. ... outcome uncertain, but forecast is bleak.

M0 = base money, monetary base. This is the sum of FRNs, digi-FRNs, and coin the system. M1 is defined as the part of M0 outside the banks in circulation, plus all the deposit money. It will always be greater than M0.
M0 is "real money", high powered money. It is no more real than anything else, really, because it's just paper and digits created by the Fed.
Fed creates base money, banks create deposit money.

It's because at our core we still believe in abiding the laws. Even in the era of '3 felonies a day', where no American can truly obey all the laws on the books, we believe in the rule of law, not men.
But it is changing, and rather quickly, when we see those with privileges continuing to skate while the rest get slammed.
What cannot continue, won't. And the backlash will get ugly imho.

There is a metric fuckton of "snowbirds" who come from northern climes to southern and central Arizona for the winter. Many from Canada, but many more from Snowbelt States like Minnesota, NoDak, Montana, Idaho, and Washington. I am one of those.
I have been lucky to make friends among local Zonies, as well as with folks from Minnesota, NoDak, and Washington. I bought a run-down old trailer with add-ons in 2014, and have been engaged in rehabbing it. And taking days off to go on Jeep trips in the desert, or car shows, and whatnot.

I have taken Red Cross First Aid courses numerous times, because worked in oil patch. IIRC, third degree burns mean the skin in the burned area is completely gone, and the underlying flesh is burned. But I think they are moving away from the "degree" nomenclature to something that does take burned extent into account. I have had "third degree" burns many times from being hit by a droplet of welding slag. Right through 3 layers of skin, and into the meat. No big deal, and not even very painful, because tiny in extent, less than 1/8" diameter. Scarcely worth a bandaid.

Thanks! Really, the severity of the burn has to be some function of both depth and extent. A pinpoint third-degree burn, like I described is a minor annoyance. A bad sunburn on 30% of your body can fuck you right up, even though the skin is never broken.

That's what I've always thought. Plus, three degrees of burn severity makes sense, whereas using only 3 degrees to describe the area of injury from less than 1% to 100% of one's skin surface doesn't make much sense.

Howdy, AOP! I'm looking forward to expanding our garden soon, so just pray that I'll have the dexterity and stamina to sally forth with such an endeavor.
I'm feeling better and able to sit for much longer after getting the ol' abdomen drained, so I feel pretty darned good!
Dad and Mom are goofy, but that's just the daily box of chocolates, so-to-speak. It has been quite peaceful, recently.

Totes agree. That's where I probably got my misunderstanding -- Someone burned over 80% of their skin coverage, regardless of the depth, is in a lot more trouble than some with a small area of deep damage.
The skin is the largest organ on or in the human body. Extensive damage is 'Bad'.

Hub's mobility has been pretty good, mostly, although he had a fall couple of weeks ago while I slept. Another round of diuretic and he can walk okay with a walker or cane...
Ankles and calves are still a bit swollen, but the chemicals mess up his kidneys, so am just trying to keep his daily sodium and fluid intake down while avoiding the diuretic as much as possible.
Have the sinking feeling I'll eventually lose my jerb. Can't stay on personal leave forever.

I am on the diuretics, as well. I also have full kidney function, so I can drink coffee instead, sometimes. I also flush myself with bottled water with an occasional Gatorade-type drink if my sodium is low enough for the day.

They'll get to help, which distracts them from becoming jerks to one-another. I can always send one off in another direction. Like dealing with a Five Year-Old and an Eight Year-Old, as has been my nickname for them for three years, now. *HAH!*

Mine has not been that severe, but I did max-out at twelve liters at my second draining. This, most recent one, has only been my fourth in three years, so I'm doing something correctly, I guess.

Nice! Also, I got stuck in the bathtub, once. Well... not "stuck", but the legs weren't there. (or else I would have showered.) I had to have the Five Year-Old throw me some shorts and both he and the Eight Year-Old helped me out of the tub.
...a little embarrassing.

I know and understand the "cloudiness" of thought processes because it is more than a "brain-fart". So far, they have been minor inconveniences.

Anyway, good morning, fellow insomniacs and early risers.

Good morning.
Usually I am in bed (going on 0400 here). Awake and fretting about stuff. But, in bed with the lights off. Thought I'd try to mix things up a bit.

Early awakening on a day that promises nothing but rain. Perhaps it is time to tackle the accumulation of items not put away and those no longer needed in our basement. Weeded one of our garden beds yesterday after assisting with two scouts' Eagle leadership projects.
