I read John Fogarty's autobio. It was interesting, & I enjoyed it, even though he's a leftist, of course.
Tried to get an injunction against Trump playing his songs at Trump rallies.
He's still alive, VERY old, & still sings in public on special occasions.
He must surely have more money than God at this point, I assume. He waged a 30-yr legal battle with his former business manager to re-gain control of his song catalog.

Generally the elements are the maximum weight, the best running gear, the best balance and the skill of the kid doing the whittling.
The legend was that one kid didn't use the nails provided, but used stiff wire that was a bit sprung, like the wheels of a Hotweels car. It was considered legal a the time since it used the required wheels, but it got broken before it could compete when the scout was playing around with it.
Personally I had no manual skills and didn't understand the need for the wheels to be all in the same exact direction. IIRC

*I* don't.... but my dad does and he's probably conked out in his chair after watching the National Geographic Channel, so I'm not calling him to ask. The two years that our Calvinette club (Christian version of Girl Scouts, now called GEMS) did a Powderpuff Derby with pinewood cars were a blast for him and me.

Assuming all other factors are equal, a heavier car will be faster than a lighter car. The. Pinewood Derby rules limit the weight of each car to 5 ounces.

Don't really need calculus. Potential energy = mgh
Height is set for all cars by the track ~3 ft?
gravity constant set the same by the big guy
That leaves mass. De' mo' de' betta'
There's plenty of other tweaks but all other stuff held constant, weight wins. I've seen this at the derbys when a kid forgets or a weight falls off/pops out.

Fogarty also did the most innovative job of expert witnessing on the stand that I've ever heard of.
He switched record companies, and his old record company claimed that he had reused one of his old tunes for a song for the new record company, and wanted to be paid.
Fogarty got on the stand (with acoustic guitar), and explained why the two tunes were actually quite different.
The jury found for Fogarty.

In the 1800s an Austro-Hungarian bureaucrat took a vacation to Egypt and bought a souvenir as one does. In his case he bought...a mummy and brought it home and put it in his house as a decoration.
Later other Austrians noticed the mummy's bandages had writing on them and eventually figure out the writing was in Etruscan. Etruscan was a language/civilization that lived north of Rome in Italy in the Royal/early Republican period and the writing is dated to around 200 BC. So...somehow a book from Italy wound up in Egypt and someone decided to use the linen of the book as mummy bandages for some reason.
Oh, but it gets weirder. The linen the writing it on isn't from around 200 BC when the writing was done. Its from around 400 BC. So...someone decided to write this book on ancient linen. Why? Who knows.
The book is called the Liber Linteus https://tinyurl.com/4evx2hcc

Well, Miley and I got my mother back home today. She's zonked out asleep in her recliner down here with us.
They've made a few medication changes which I'll have to get burned in my brain. Main thing is BP. After a stroke, or when there's high risk you want BP to be as low as you can without getting too low (more risk of falls, dizziness).
Then they added another one called "Memantine", at a low dose. That's a dementia drug, but it has uses for stroke patients.
Anyway, at the meeting we had with all the therapists, they were all amazed at how much she improved in just two weeks.

The same.
Prokofiev started writing film scores in the late '30s, since he thought that it was politically safer than writing symphonic music.
Interestingly, for some of Alexander Nevsky, Prokofiev wrote the music first, and then Eisenstein edited the scenes to fit the music.

For example, the speech therapist said she rated as "severe" on a clinical aphasia scale they use when she was first admitted. But that has now improved to "mild".
He right hand is working pretty well now too. She can sign her name. I noticed her signature has changed, but it's a proper, good signature.
And there's some cats that are happy to see here. Big Jake had to give her the cold shoulder at first ( I knew he would -- that's to let her know he didn't like her going away like that), but he warmed right up.

Last night, someone mentioned there is a nova expected to happen with the star (system) "T. Coronae Borealis" ( T Cor B for search in Stellarium).
Anyway, she's expected to light off sometime this year between March and Sept. Note this a "regular" recurring nova, not a supernova or something really big:
https://tinyurl.com/278jw4jf
It will go from about magnitude 10 to somewhere between 3.0 and 2.0. Thus a "new" (nova) star will appear in the sky. May last a few weeks or so.

Wallace's colon gave out in 1986. "The Reagan years weren't all daffodils for me," he says, as if that somehow explains why he needs to take an explosive shit in the can every 2:15. Wallace says they're multivitamins, but you're pretty sure they're edibles, because every time he takes one after lunch comes his "concentration time," when he zones out and stares at his monitor for an hour. Did I mention lunch? Wallace heats up fish head soup in the microwave every day. "So Charlie don't get wise to my location." No matter how miserable things are, Wallace always has a story about how this is no big deal. "Everyone under 65 seems trans to me. When I was six and working at the mine...."

The sound system needs to be turned all the way to 11, as Spinal Tap recommended. Meanwhile, large plasma screens should display a random collage of images - snippets from "Little House on the Prairie" paired up with Biden attempting to make speeches or just simply move in a proper direction, combined with eerily-slowed down bits from the classic "Hee-Haw" years. Once you've got the basics down, you can add to or subtract from the proposals above as you see fit. For example, you might want to inser a few bars from the theme song for "Pee-Wee's Playhouse," or if you're really loaded with the green stuff, a hologram of vintage Rod Serling informing them that they're doomed beyond all hope.

If global warming is real and going to turn the earth into an oven in 12 years (12 years from the 1980s) then you should be moving your butt to somewhere cold right now.

There was also the matter of the Etruscans conquering and occupying vast swathes of Roman population centers, creating a situation when the Romans finally said enough was enough, and took arms to (successfully) drive the Etruscans almost entirely outside the Italian peninsula.
They did a host of legacies we now associate with the Romans - the famous toga, for example, and the fasces as a symbol f authority.

We always have a cold snap around Easter. Early or late, cold snap.
My cuz, the re-tard meteorologist 'splained to me, like Benny Shapiro with facts and logic how that's just confirmation bias at work. The "last frost" date is a matter of a probability distribution. The 50% mark for last frost is around my birfday, April 22.
When you look at the probabilities of the dates of Easter vs this see, you see there's a good chance it's gonna be cold around then.
And, you notice it. The more rare events when it ain't cold around Easter, you don't pay any attention, nor do you pay attention, when it gets cold much later than an early Easter.

I agree. The dementia's just enhancing Joe's rude, arrogant, racist and mean personality that was already there, with plenty of video evidence to support that statement. Just watch. Soon or once dead, they'll blame his 'bad' personality on the dementia, overlooking (as usual, the lie of omission) his rancid past.
The most racist administration in US History is the Obama/Biden Administration. In their case, it proved that old adage that politics makes strange bedfellows, a whitey-hating president and a black-hating vice-president.
Hate has no home in the Democrat Party. Well, maybe just a little, especially towards that Orange Man Bad guy who just won't quit. 'Look what he's making us do to him!', as is said in many a typical abuse story.

Put let's consider that. So all the companies, even ones that didn't have supply chain issues, raised prices because of COVID and now their real prices are back down. Other companies will come in and offer lower prices to win market share and still make a smaller, but real profit.
Ah, but wait, its because they are ALL part of various monopolies/cartels. And of course...all of them are? And all these cartels did the same thing at the same time? Fine fine. Let's go with that. The federal government has had anti-trust power for around 100 years. If this is what is happening the only reason Biden's government isn't "busting trusts" is because he doesn't want to.
So, the argument that the bidenflation isn't bidenflation ultimately argues that Biden is causing the price increases anyway.

The FDA is also going to remove all this shit about "you shouldn't use ivermectin to treat Covid-19", and further that ivermectin is not "horse medicine", but actual, good people medicine.
Further they admit that they, the FDA are not "a doctor, or licensed to practice medicine" in the USA. Therefore, they shouldn't be telling actual doctors who are so licensed to practice medicine what the fuck they should be prescribing.

Another sigh for the subway looking decent in that video. Bedford Ave in Brooklyn is not a nice neighborhood (think extreme diversity minus one color) though the station then belied that. Makes me sad, to be honest. In just a few short Biden years, which seem far longer than dog years, how far this city has fallen. Right along with San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles and the rest of the usual Democrat-run urban suspects. It really is bad. Our great cities have been progressively transformed into readily visible third-world shithole status, deliberately so.

Well, the expanded character set does have its legitimate uses, but how many of those are required on the average blog (as opposed to, say, a journal on Anglo-Saxon literature) is... questionable.
BTW, glad to hear your MIL is doing better. Would she be at all interested in listening to audiobooks, both for general entertainment and to help with the aphasia?

Indeed. Well, I just joke. I kid, I kid. For most shit, 7-bit ASCII is all you need.
As an experiment, I copied and pasted that text into Notepad++, my favorite text editor. It recognized it as UTF-8 (what code page, though, well, I'm not sure). Mostly it rendered it even more normal looking that Pixy's did. Except for the last what was supposed to look like "actually". It balked with a "[]" on the first 'l' looking character there.
There are still glitches in all this....

Windows 10 (and 11) have this UTF-8 "code page" you can enable. It's experimental. This is a loose meaning of "code page". I'll bet if I enabled that, that spammer text would display just like it did in Chrome with Pixy's rendering.
Microsoft is realizing that UTF-8 has won out, and is creating this "code page" to make UTF-8 encoding look like it's supposed to as it does across the web.
But I'm not gonna enable it, because it's not ready for prime time.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at March 23, 2024 03:15 AM (w6EFb)
When I was a kid, learning computers and shit, I had ASCII (ANSI) and the early concept of code page pretty much down pat. Then things got more complicated, and I let the world past me by.
Now, I'm learning a bit more, trying to get up to speed as close as a 29 yr old can. I realized that Microsoft had messed me up. They insisted on called UTF-16 encoding "Unicode", which made me associate Unicode with a paricular encoding scheme. That's wrong.
I've got it down pat, at least with the encoding schemes. UTF-8 is the way it's going.

Ken Thompson (pbuh, UNIX Founding Father) created UTF-8 while still at Bell Labs. He and buddy worked it out at a New Jersey diner back in the day, sketching it out on the proverbial napkins.
To paraphrase Fritz Hollings, that man knew what he was talkin' about. UTF-8 is the best encoding. He made it look like 7-bit ASCII for all such lower characters. Then he created a scheme for multi-byte encoding of the higher code points (requiring more than 7 bits) where you would know which byte was which.
Thus, if, due to errors or what have you, you suddenly jumped in the middle of a stream, you could easily align back with the "next character".

The story of how Ken Thompson created UTF-8 "right before my eyes" as told by Rob Pike:
https://tinyurl.com/2jwovn8p
IBM asked Thompson and Pike to "consult" on UTF encoding. Thompson and Pike realize they had opportunity, if they did it quick, to "do it right" and get that engrained in a standard that would take over. But they had to do it fast.
