58 Regarding the "I'm So Old That" list. I threw away the cassette tapes that I recorded myself, but I kept the purchased cassette tapes because I have a Sony Cassette player as part of my stereo component system. If I'm honest, the turntable is the only part of the stereo system that I usually use, and that's because I have a pretty good record collection. And the turntable is a smooth, lovely item that my brother found for me second hand.

99 Here in Wisconsin our beloved governor Dick Eater Tony Evers wants to give illegals driver's licenses. The fine for fishing without a license? $100.00. Sounds like a farce.

Well, of course. Having driver's licenses to use as ID makes it easier for the illegals to vote.

Really, they only need one form of ID: a large metallic tattoo that says either Illegal or Criminal. It probably should be magnetic, so it can be detected through hair or on X-rays.

I have listened to radios that didn't have transistors but tubes (called valves), cost of yearly car license depended on tire size or on engine capacity.

Most engines are always a little short of the purported capacity. Thus a 2000cc engine is probably 1996cc. If it was 2001cc then the next tariff up applied.

161 Two very encouraging polls from PA today.

AARP/ Fabrizio Anzalone has Trump +4 in the H2H, & +5 in the 5-way.

Muhlenberg College has Trump +3 in the H2H.

These are both registered voters (RVs) polls, too, which is excellent, because Trump polls better when "all adults" are polled, and RVs vote in much greater proportion than "all adults" do.

Many of Trump's AA & Hispanic supporters are very iffy about actually voting.

The conventional wisdom is that Trump has a BETTER chance in MI than PA, so again... very encouraging. Possible indication that the show trial isn't producing the predicted effect of hurting Trump, too.

And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier!"

--Rudyard Kipling.

"And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!"

When the oldest colours have faded, and the youngest critic has died,
We shall rest, and faith, we shall need it - lie down for an aeon or two,
Till the Master of All Good Workmen Shall put us to work anew.

And those that were good shall be happy: they shall sit in a golden chair;
They shall splash at a ten-league canvas with brushes of comet's hair.
They shall find real saints to draw from - Magdalene, Peter, and Paul;
They shall work for an age at a sitting and never be tired at all!

And only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame;
And no one will work for the money, and no one will work for the fame,
But each for the joy of the working, and each, in his separate star,
Shall draw the Thing as he sees It for the God of Things as They are!

Might be true for Ontario, and maybe Manitoba, but out West we got Seattle channels in British Columbia, and Spokane in Alberta.

UHF was channels 14 through 83, and the tuner didn't "click" between channels, it rotated smoothly like a radio tuner. I don't recall there being any UHF stations in B.C. or Alberta. By the time there was a "need" for extra channels, cable was so entrenched that they simply began offering a large number of "cable-only" channels. Cablw TV grew big in Canada before it did down South, because Canada typically had only two networks, and viewers were clamoring for the USA channels. I remember getting cable from a neighborhood provider in 1963. A guy a couple of blocks up the hill from us had a very tall tower with antennas that could reliably get the Bellingham and Seattle stations, and he had amplifiers, and sold the signal around the neighborhood, quite cheaply.

Illegals have had driver's licenses in Calif since ~2016 maybe....I noticed the traffic on the freeways became significantly worse around then....now they get free medi-cal too.

Hitler doesn't really deserve credit for designing the VW Beetle. He expressed a desire to see a "peoples' car" built and sold, and issued a list of price and performance criteria it had to meet. Only Ferdinand Porsche's design came anywhere close to matching Der Fuhrer's wish list.

Well, the car got built, but few, if any, got delivered to retail buyers. German workers were encouraged to put money aside in special savings accounts in the Postal Savings Banks to buy VW's, and none of them ever saw a car or a dime of that money. And the factory was shifted over to production of Kubelwagens for the war effort. Anna Puma is Horde authority on the saga of VW, by the way.

And I think the soviets also scammed their workers in the same way, stealing savings for cars that never were delivered.

Thanks for the translation, Matthew! I was having trouble with the lyrics - like why isn't he saying das Geld and why not das Schloss when that's clearly the sense and meaning he's trying to convey. But seeing that it was Bairisch makes it clear. (Or at least as clear as Bairisch can be - it gives you a headache if Hochdeutsch is your preferred Sprachen.)

Fun little addendum - some of the proverbial references in the song remind me of an over-the-top German curse. The closest English rendering is "May he die from a lightning strike while he takes a shit." Werner Herzog actually used that one at a commencement address and the crowd loved it. Deutschland is a unique place.

Essentially the Soviets did that thing through until glasnost.
It wasn't so much putting investments aside in the bank for consumer goods, it was more along the lines of having nothing available to buy, so the money went into the state bank funds.
the USSR had massive inflation hidden by shortages. Once there was access to foreign goods was allowed the money came out of the bank, into the market and the inflation took off like a rocket. That more than anything destroyed the USSR.

Not a big break, but a few people freaked out and flounced over it. Mostly, people here said "Get it, don't get it, it's your choice, none of my business what you do."

I think that was during one of my sanity periods.

I renounced US citizenship a while back when the debt was getting out of control and government agencies became weaponized. I wanted to write conservative books and didn't want the Joe the Plumber treatment.

I talked about that decision here. I just wanted paperwork to protect me from an out of control US bureaucracy. You know this is a place where people would openly tell me to fuck off.

Everyone saw what was coming. I'm still solidly with all of you. Always will be. I just needed paperwork to protect me.

What we all learned from the Covid debacle was that the "experts" are bought and paid for, and cannot be trusted. There were extravagant claims on both sides of the debate, and I think at least part of that is that the vaxxes which were pushed were inconsistent in quality and potency, to say the least. I am pretty certain the politicos and celebrities who took the vaxx got saline solution, since none of them ever seemed to develop the side effects reported by the plebes, but many of them did get Covid, and got over it.

Tinyurl is trying to turn itself into a paid subscription service, and it is not going well. What they should do is ask users to view an ad, not an ad video, just a "flat" page, and "rate" the ad by checking a box, before being directed to the shortener page. Like this:

[ ] The ad was inoffensive, and actually offered something I might use.

[ ] I endured viewing the ad, but I'm simply not in the market for that class of product/service.

[ ] The ad sucked syphilitic donkey dick, and the vendors should be hung, drawn, and quartered.

Such ratings might actually be useful to the advertisers, and if giving them is fun for the user, then the ads get read, and nobody suffers.

I retired last summer and it took me a while to get used to it.
One of the biggest changes was that while I was working, I always tried to not worry about work stuff on weekends, however, Sunday night I would mentally prepare for going back on Monday morning. Thinking about meetings I had scheduled, left over problems from the previous week I needed to deal with, project status, read email to see what had blown up over the weekend, that kind of thing.
After retiring, I still found myself on Sunday nights starting to think about preping for work the next morning. Took a couple of months to break that habit.

Well, I really meant "prominent" politicians; the ones who are in the news on a near-daily basis.

From Monty Python, of course:

Well now, the result of last week's competition when we asked you to find a derogatory term for the Belgians. Well, the response was enormous and we took quite a long time sorting out the winners. There were some very clever entries. Mrs. Hatred of Leicester Said 'let's not call them anything, let's just ignore them' ... (applause starts vigorously, but he holds his hands up for silence) ... and a Mr. St John of Hurtfingdou said he couldn't think of anything more derogatory than Belgians. (cheers and applause; a girl in showgirl costume comes on and holds up placards through next bit) But in the end we settled on three choices: number three ... the Sprouts (placard 'The Sprouts'), sent in by Mrs. Vicious of Hastings... very nice ; number two..... the Phlegms (placard) ... from Mrs. Childmolester of Worthing; but the winner was undoubtedly from Mrs. No-Supper-For-You from Norwood in Lancashire ... Miserable Fat Belgian Bastards. (placard; roar of applause) Very good - thank you, Carol.

460 448 Why else would the official story be "the vaxx doesn't absolutely prevent you from getting Covid, it just lessens the severity"? That is absolutely unprovable, but it means that one can have the vaxx, and still get the Coof. Makes it possible administer placebos willy-nilly, with no way of being caught out.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at May 08, 2024 12:56 AM (8zz6B)

The polio vax doesn't prevent you from getting polio, it just lessens the severity. So only one leg is paralyzed, just from the knee down, so you walk funny for a while instead of being crippled for life.

No. That's not how real vaccines work. Real vaccines are 95%+ effective at preventing the targeted disease, and have a vanishing small rate of harmful side effects.

The China virus vaxes were ineffective, and to the extent they had any preventative effect, the effect was short-lived, hence the need for frequent boosters, and worst of all, had serious side effects that are only now being revealed.

The vax companies saw an opportunity to make several butt-loads of money and the politicians saw an opportunity to impose more control over the populace. Greed and incompetence at work.

I retired last summer and it took me a while to get used to it.
One of the biggest changes was that while I was working, I always tried to not worry about work stuff on weekends, however, Sunday night I would mentally prepare for going back on Monday morning. Thinking about meetings I had scheduled, left over problems from the previous week I needed to deal with, project status, read email to see what had blown up over the weekend, that kind of thing.
After retiring, I still found myself on Sunday nights starting to think about preping for work the next morning. Took a couple of months to break that habit.

477 "Murder Under Glass" - a Columbo episode wherein he is wined and dined by the best chefs in town as he works to solve the murder of one of their beloved group.
Posted by: Miley, okravangelist

A fun one that was, and it taught two important lessons: never trust Louis Jourdan, and examine corkscrews carefully before using them.

It's weird how Peter Falk always claimed Columbo wasn't smart, that he was only someone with an eye for detail and dogged perseverance. The writing of the episodes never seemed to indicate that, though. Columbo was incredibly observant and unstoppable, but he also had a keen understanding of human psychology and could size people up instantly. His ruse of playing a clueless oaf was something he adapted to fit a particular person and their unique quirks. To me, he was someone who didn't suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect, and that always gave him an advantage over the perps, who always did have that problem.

The very last episode of Columbo is "Columbo loves the night life", 2003, I think. It's a bit different in that the murder is depicted as a real one would be, messy and not going exactly as the murderer intended. The victim fought back and died hard.

Anyway, Peter Falk wanted to make one more episode of Columbo, but dementia got him. They said there at the last he didn't even remember who Columbo was.

The next to last episode of Columbo, "Murder with Too Many Notes", 2001, and directed by Patrick McGoohan, explained the origin of the "This Old Man" theme.

Turned out that was what Mrs. Columbo hummed when she was doing the housework. At the end of the episode, Columbo asks one of the main characters, a musician, to teach him to play that on the piano. He wants to play it for Mrs. Columbo's upcoming birthday, or some other occasion.

581 I retired last summer and it took me a while to get used to it.
One of the biggest changes was that while I was working, I always tried to not worry about work stuff on weekends, however, Sunday night I would mentally prepare for going back on Monday morning. Thinking about meetings I had scheduled, left over problems from the previous week I needed to deal with, project status, read email to see what had blown up over the weekend, that kind of thing.
After retiring, I still found myself on Sunday nights starting to think about preping for work the next morning. Took a couple of months to break that habit.

I don't mind mentioning the names because long since gone.

Dr. Arthur L. Welden had the cigars in a large humidor at Tulane.

Funds went to support bird watching and conservation in the name of Dr. Bradburn.

607 In other nooz, I went to America's Best yesterday evening, had another eye exam, found that I still do not really need eyeglasses, but bought a pair of reading glasses anyway. I'll be ditching my work medical insurance shortly now that I've bought a Medicare supplement plan, but I didn't get vision coverage at this point. So better to use the vision part while I still have it. (Not much of a discount, though.)

My choice was a pair of gold-rimmed aviator-style glasses, much like the shades I keep in the car. Aside from shades I have never worn glasses; my reading and distance vision are both still excellent. It'll take some getting used to. Maybe the new lenses will make print a bit sharper.

Yeah, that's it. They have an Uptown branch, but it's hard to get to without beating up my car, and impossible to park near. The suburban store is much better.

When I go to Indiana later this summer, I plan to stop off at The Briary near Birmingham. Wonderful shop, housed in a modest bungalow, with shaded parking and a strong emphasis on pipes as well as some cigars. In '21 I bought one of my favorite pipes, a vintage straight Mastercraft: $35. You don't have to spend $$$ to get a good pipe.

617 Wolfus, re: vision insurance...

(Disclaimer: I don't know what coverage is available to you, or which company you may choose)

When I had "vision coverage" at work-- the coverage was barely adequate. IIRC, was 200 frames and 75 lenses, the rest was out-of-pocket for me.

You guessed it! I need multi-focal. $$$$$

*All* the frames were around 200, except thick black 'birth-control' styles.

Coatings? (anti-glare, anti-reflective, photo-gray) "not covered"

Bottom line-- nearly 400 'after insurance' every time. Meh!!! Barely worth it, if at all.

When my father-in-law left the Air Force, he settled down in Las Vegas for a bit. He was able to parlay the avionics expertise he learned in the USAF into general electronic support for the casinos. (And after talking with him, you'd quickly learn how the odds favor the House in any casino way, way, way more than it's normally thought to be the case.) On one job, his boss wrangled a way for the two of them to meet some of the celebs, and he met Sammy Davis Jr. What impressed him was that Sammy was a huge gun collector - my father-in-law said that he had a virtual armory in his dressing room.

For a long time, went without because $$$ I couldn't afford... heh, lucky I never wrecked my car... but finally got priorities straightened out.

Anyway, many 'vision plans' are just crap. Add up the premiums, and there's your exam & half the cost of frames. (they only pay for frames every 2 or 3 years, so triple that sunk cost of premiums)

Out of pocket all the way, and you can use the coupons that some eyewear outfits issue-- "not good with any insurance" and come out $$$ ahead.

I've often had leg cramps. Heard that potassium, magnesium and calcium deficiency can all be the cause. My Mom was actually paralyzed in her 40s by very low potassium.
