Posted by: Dr. T

Weird Al doesn't 'do' feuds. He thought Coolio was ok with the parody and went ahead with it because he tries to contact the artist or at least their management before doing them. Prince is the only one that turned him down.

The parody was based on Coolio's song 'Gansta Paradise,' that Al made into 'Amish Paradise.'

55 Seriously, Coolio and Weird Al were in a feud once?

Weird Al asks the original artists permission for his parody songs (although he isn't legally required to). He wrote Amish Paradise (parody of Coolio's Gangster's Paradise) and asked one of Coolio's agents who gave approval but the agent apparently didn't clear it with Coolio. Coolio was upset when he heard it on the radio (because he didn't give permission/didn't know his agent did, and also because GP meant something personally to him).

68 andycanuck, reading your auto-translated post from former Pres. Bolsonaro last thread, thought I saw a funny mistranslation ("Forro de SP"), which I was sure meant to refer to Folha de Sao Paulo, one of Brazil's oldest newspapers and sort of the equivalent of the Wall Street Journal (at least in the past).

Funny because "forro" (emphasis on the last syllable) is of course the northeast Brazilian close-dancing style. So I guess there's a sarcastic nickname for the Folha de SP now, and Bolsonaro was using it. There might be other meanings for "forro" or other word-plays at work, not sure - been a long time since I spent time there.

98 And "forro" is pronounced "fo-HO". Brazilian Portuguese has some weirdness, initial "r" and double "r" are pronounced as "h". Thus, Rio de Janeiro is "hee-U de zhe-NAY-ru" (oh, unstressed "o" goes to long "u" - another weirdness).

And even earlier, Australia - although Australia, Antarctica, and South America were all parts of a supercontinent at the time (think they call it Gondwana). It’s fun to remember that the possum is more closely related to a kangaroo than it is to anything else in North America.

She was right next to a pay charger yet plugged an extension cord into an outlet she found on the building.

Man, I could see a great Candid Camera stunt there. Set up an outdoor outlet on the wall of a building, so that EV users would be tempted to plug in with an extension cord and steal power. But have the outlet on a hinge, so a guy inside the building could hinge it in, unplug the cord, and then quickly tug in the whole extension cord, and close the hinge again.

113 Sure, except the melody is ripped from a Stevie Wonder song, IIRC.

from wiki:
"Coolio performed this song live at the 1995 Billboard Music Awards with L.V. and Wonder"
...
"Stevie Wonder received crediting for the composition and lyrics due to the interpolation of his song "Pastime Paradise" from his 1976 album Songs in the Key of Life."
...
"Due to the sampling of Wonder's music, "Gangsta's Paradise" is one of the few Coolio tracks that did not contain any profanity, as Wonder did not appreciate his song being paired with it. Coolio said, "I had a few vulgarities... and he (Wonder) wasn't with that. So I changed it. Once he heard it, he thought it was incredible"

Yes, Peter Sellers nailed that one. Terry Southern had Adlai in mind when he wrote the book, too, I've read.

Stevenson was universally perceived as an "egghead" professor type. He wasn't. He just looked & sounded as if he was.

Had a good sense of self-effacing humor. According to legend, when he was forced to wait in Paris while De Gaulle's motorcade passed by, Stevenson said, "I always seem to be getting in the way of national heroes."

I think in those days all the smart set were intrigued with a “technocracy” where the learned experts from Academe would lead us all to the greener pastures. McNamara as SecDef being a former Ford executive was a kind of continuation of the idea maybe.

Oh yeah. So why is 29.22 hurricane and 29.55 just a cloudy day? I never paid too much attention to barometric pressure, just the trend up or down. I figured a hurricane was 27 or 28 or something like that.

At the center when it's going full bore over water, it is. Milton was in the top 5 lowest in the Atlantic side, hitting 897 mbar, or 26.49" Hg.

Those pressures I quoted above are relative, converted to sea level (via the "standard atmosphere" barometric formula, the "altimeter setting"). Absolute pressures ("station pressure" is the official term, I think) was 28.33" low, and 29.62" for that.

The adjustment is 0.88" for this elevation.

And BTW, I forgot. This is Greenville, SC are, upstate. A hurricane like that blowing through here is a very rare thing. So 29.21" relative is getting pretty low.

At Helen landfall, a smaller airport nearby hit 28.01" low, I think.

If you're getting high up in altitude, pressure gets lower and lower. At 10,000' standard pressure (for a standard atmosphere) is around 20.5".

Above that, it gets well below 20" absolute.

So I want to set the 0 mark to the barometric pressure as indicated by weather service apps, correct? I never understood pressure altitude, though I can understand it might vary from my exact location?

204 >> So I want to set the 0 mark to the barometric pressure as indicated by weather service apps, correct?

Yes. And I don't know nuttin' 'bout the details of altimeter settings, just the general principles. The altimeter gives you altitude by comparing measured pressured to the known sea level pressure.

The airport/NWS sends out the info, and you adjust your altimeter zero to that, as it does vary all the time.

The sky has been very clear here for the last few days. The other morning I had to leave at about 6 am for a meeting across the bay to the west just as the moon was setting. It was right in front of me as I drove over the bridge, huge, bright and orange. It lit up the bay with a weird and warm light.

207 When I was younger a good pocket altimeter by Thommen was probably a couple hundred bucks, now they aren’t worth much, as electronics (even smart phone devices) have all that, and more.

Pretty much anything important I want redundant backup, and devices that particularly do not require batteries or blue teeth to operate. But now I can get a good used Thommen altimeter for $10 probably.

For an example, here's the GSP observations page. This is an ASOS station, and gives readings hourly. This is for general weather info. The aviation readings are updated much more frequently, broadcast, and automated data links now:

https://tinyurl.com/26jc9v7x

Note pressure is given as "altimeter setting", which is the relative pressure we use. The "sea level pressure" is something else. The altimeter value uses the "standard atmosphere", which is a given sea level temperature and a standard lapse rate, or variation of temperature with altitude.

The sea level pressure, given in mbar and not "Hg, is based on a more sophisticated calculation which uses the actual observed temperature values.

So, "pressure altitude" is the result of the more simple value. It will be close, but not really the actual true height above sea level.

213 Right, the analog altimeter is of course also a barometer.

By a series of adjustments - setting the barometric pressure to a known accurate standard, the needle should correspond to the correct elevation, and vice versa:

Going back and forth the error rate has declined, it is accurate now, within maybe a couple hundred feet. But the error rate tends to be larger at the low and high ends of the scale.

216 Louis Farrakhan is one of those people who vaccilates between being a raving lunatic, and a man with a great deal of common sense who cannot abide a layabout ninja who won't work or take care of his family.

I suspect he also has strong opinions about a party who thinks gender is a choice, that men can get pregnant, and that boys should be in girls' locker rooms.

He is choosing the blue-eyed devil that may come from another planet ( I think he changed his mind on that one) but who has put his money where his mouth is and done tangible work to help the black community, over the actual devil who encourages fatherless households and aborting black babies by the literal hundreds of thousands, never mind all the dependence on ( a white) government and all the trans insanity.

"I really want to make Idaho number one for Bigfoot tourism. I think this is a creative way to have our rural communities and remote areas benefit more from tourism in such a great state,” says Republican candidate for State Representative Chandler Hadraba.

Hadraba’s proposal to make Bigfoot Idaho’s state animal — and even offer Bigfoot hunting tags — stands in contrast to more conventional campaign promises, but he argues that his ideas can bring more tourism revenue to rural areas in Idaho.

235 Wandered off to get caught up on the last three Cafe videos. Then I looked up and watched both Gangster and Amish Paradises videos, which caused me to look up Amish Paradise on Wikipedia, which mentioned the Gangster vid featured Michelle Pfeiffer, in connection with the movie Dangerous Minds, with Florence Henderson in Amish parodying Pfeiffer's bit in Gangster, and then looking up Dangerous Minds on W, I learned that there was a short-lived Dangerous Minds TV series, starring Annie Potts, the Ghostbusters secretary, and that's why I've been away so long.

And now it's past time for me to say so long.
