Overnight Open Thread (28 Nov 2014)
Oil Price Effects
The big losers from falling oil prices include several countries that are not friends of the US and its allies, such as Venezuela, Iran, and Russia. These countries are heavily dependent on their oil revenue to support their governments’ spending – especially massive transfer programs. Even at $75 or $80 a barrel, these governments will have a difficult time financing the populist programs that they need to maintain public support.
h/t Star Wars So the new Star Wars teaser trailer debuted today (Ranking the teaser trailers for all seven Star Wars movies). Not too shabby but then again, it is just a teaser. At least there wasn't an overabundance of lens flares or Jar-Jar Binks. Here's a little video of Batman vs Darth Vader.
While referring to a separate incident from Brown's, he refers to another shooting in which a black man charged two cops and was shot as a result. "Why would you think it's a good idea to run up on two cops when they tell you to stop [and] put down whatever you got? I'm gonna keep coming at them, then they gonna shoot me. Now as black people, we supposed to be mad and Ohmygod, Ohmygod, we need to go out there and march! No we don't. No we don't. No we don't. Stop doin' crime."Dog Video
Comments
(Jump to bottom of comments)There are plenty of examples of many, many "genders" being available to identify as, and plenty of pronouns that go beyond masculine, feminine, and even neuter. There are people who not only believe that, but also believe that they can be more than one gender at a time.

I admit: a few months back when I won a bit of money playing poker, I splurged on a copy of Bond 50, so now I have 23 Bond movies to see. Would like to watch one each couple of weeks, all in order.
Looking forward to "Thunderball" especially as from what I've heard, it was the first *really good* Bond flick.

They gave Vader too much credit.
Batman has no midichlorians in his system ... how does the "force" work on something live that is not a "force" conductor?
The extended lightsaber duel ... this should have been a couple of swings, the Batman IMMEDIATELY knocks out Vader's life-support circuitry.
Then after knocking out Vader's life support circuitry, and pounding him with the energy gloves ... how does this not stop Vader for at least 5 minutes? Further, Batman does not use another 2 or 3 bat-weapons to immobilize Vader for at least half an hour ... what?
Finally, the Bat-spacemobile-save at the end ... seriously, the 'mobile has no shields, no follow-up shot is fired, and Batman is still inside?

You had almost a 60% chance of being born in India, China, Africa or the Middle East. You had a 5% chance of being born in America. Even when you fold in Europe and the British Commonwealth, that's just a 16% chance of being born somewhere prosperous, free and civilized.
That's like playing Russian Roulette in reverse. When we were conceived, a revolver with five loaded chambers was put to our heads, and the hammer dropped on the lone empty chamber.

I was completely ambivalent about the thing in Ferguson. Not at all on board with what the protesters were about until they started burning and looting. THEN I really started to sympathize with their problems. Sympathy oozing from every pore because, Hey, they're burning and looting so obviously this is super serial and I should feel awful about the fact that I am a white person. Now, after reading about protesters in Seattle terrorizing some children who just wanted to sing Christmas songs for the tree lighting ceremony, my goodness! I have even MORE sympathy for these poor souls who only want justice. Because burning, looting, and terrorizing children who never heard of the sainted criminal thug Mike Brown is just sooo damned inspiring. Yup, I now support these protesters completely.

One possibility is to "burn" this "waste" in yet another reactor (perhaps a slightly different design). The waste is radioactive, and gets hot when enough of it is brought together (just like in current reactors), so the heat could be used to boil water to make steam to turn turbines ... just like in current reactors.

Yucca Mtn: a real high percentage of "nuclear waste" is really mildly-exposed material like used handlers' suits, that could be more safely disposed by burning except for A Certain Agency. And used fuel rods can be re-charged, so to speak, in a kind of reactor whose name we aren't allowed to speak anymore.

The thing that makes a used up nuclear fuel-rod "spent", is that the heat-producing nuclear decay also is changing the isotope from one form to another.....
.... and that other form is usually unstable in all kinds of nasty ways that will kill you, and umpteen thousands of your closest friends.
No, not a mushroom cloud fireball....but in ways that control rods and cooling systems just don't agree with.
A "breeder reactor" produces a useable by-product, but the anti nukes really hate that one, big time. (just Bing-search "breeder reactor", and you'll see.)

I have 'em all too. The Brosnan ones are well done, and "Goldeneye" is quite good, but he could have been given better stories.
If you want a good Brosnan spy movie, try "The November Man" which just came out on disc. He plays a retired CIA operative who comes out of retirement for one more mission. The wife and I enjoyed it a bunch.

You could provide a rhythm accompaniment to "Little Drummer Boy" by bonking protesters on the head with night sticks. Instead of the terribly twee pa-rum-pa-pa-pum, you could provide a "ba-donk-a conk-conk". Would make for a fine rendition.

While I don't know all the specific isotope numbers n' weights, and what they all do in physicsland, I do grok the concepts involved, as well as the hazards and benefits therein.
The scale falls heavily on the side of benefits, to anyone not swayed by Jane Fonda's tribute to scientific ignorance.

I decided to shake hands and be nice.

Star Wars and Empire imply a fictional landscape that expands faster than it is filled. Alec Guiness mentioning the Clone wars was more of a tease than a promise.
It's the reason that the guy that made Samurai Jack (each show had as much concept work as any sci-fi pilot) did so well with the material.
Star Trek Into Darkness took all the idioms of that show and turned them up to 11. The die-hard fans might enjoy Kirk being extra Kirky and Spock being extra Spocky, but a stranger to the series might know better.

This guy's hypothesis is that the media focused on these cases precisely because they knew damn well Zimmerman and Wilson acted in self defense and things would not go well for the pro-Martin and pro-Brown crowd. That's what they want. If Zimmerman and Wilson were as obviously guilty and racist as the black racists and left wing loons claim they are and were tried and convicted, well, that would prove America has changed since the 1950's and blacks can obtain justice. That's the last thing the media wants.
The Dems need 95% of the black vote. Even a loss of 10% would change the face of national elections. So the Dems have to keep the blacks on the plantation for at least the next few election cycles. After that the Hispanic vote will make up for it and they can kick the blacks to the curb. But until then, they've got to keep them riled up and angry and convinced that white AmeriKKKa is out to get them. And the media is the PR arm of the D party and so devotes itself to exploiting cases like this.
The media knows damn well Wilson acted in self defense. They're grubering their stupid base.

But Pioneers of TV is a documentary that looks back to the 50's for truly groundbreaking shows and performers. More recent stuff, post 70's has to bring something special to the table to get included, there's not that many. On this episode (comedy) the line up included... Johnathon Winters, Robin Williams, Dick Van Dyke, Cloris Leachman, Jimmie Walker, Jerry Seinfeld and Michael Richards (recent show) and ... Tina fucking Fey?

It was a 4 bedroom house. The parents and the girls had 2 of the bedrooms and the boys were in bunk beds in the other rooms. (Two bathrooms - which would be much more of a problem with 10 girls and 2 boys.) I remember one of the boys said when he moved out into an apartment of his own, he luxuriated in the privacy and quiet for a few days -and then he started freaking out. It was too quiet. He said he actually missed his brothers yelling and fighting.

And while we're on the subject, why is it that so many normally reasonable people cut football players so much slack? George Carlin was right about football vs. baseball. If a baseball player does something wrong, it's " Ban him for life! Expunge his records! Make him give back the money he earned! He's supposed to be a role model!What do I tell my kid?" If it's a football player it's, "The bitch deserved it! It's okay because it's part of his culture! How can the poor guy make a living? Get him out there on the field!! I have money on the game! Fuck yeah!!"

it's relatively new in Massachusetts. The deli counter had smoked
Gruyere cheese now that is my new favorite for cheeseburgers. I
went to Stop Shop Wednesday to buy some steaks that SS
had it. I bought half pound sliced thin. Man behind counter told me
smoked Gouda is even better.

That sounds really good. I thought I was the only person in America who didn't like mac and cheese - not even as a child. Turned out that when it's made with real cheese I like it just fine.

Throw away mysterious flavor packet.
Cook mac. Drain.
Milk, smoked gouda, white cheddar, and smidge of sour cream in pan. Heat till smooff.
Add cheese to mac with crumbled baconz. In oven with seasoned bread crumbs on top. 5 - 7 min.
Let cool. Stuff face.

She is now on number 4, who incidentally is the guy who first introduced us, and she is happy...and I'm happy for her, cause she's leaving me the fuck alone. Funny thing, she married him about the same time I married Laura (number 2 for me), which was the worst thing I ever did to her.

The ones I love are the deep sea ones. There's so many freaky weird things that live in the ocean - and because they live in the ocean I don't have to worry about 10 foot long albino worms and crap like that when I'm walking in the woods. I love going to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago - they have great exhibits, although their admission fee is expensive.

The quality of a pepper grinder is based on how predictable and uniform the results are. If you grind pepper into a bowl, you'll see some particles as small as dust and some good-sized chunks (particularly when grinding a Peppercorn Medley, because all the peppers are different sized going in).
I should also note that the grinders I use most often are not my best ones.

When you get to the part where you refill it, be careful not to get the Mexican oregano -- which, if labeled in Spanish, will say "entero". If you notice that looks an awful lot like "entire", that is correct -- Mexican oregano has bits of stems and flowers in it. You want "oregano leaf" -- otherwise you'll think your 'za just got back from a hike when you eat it.

I'm tempted to ask them at the end of the interview, "I've seen you both before and I think you remember me. What holes am I leaving in my qualifications that's caused you to have second thoughts about me in the past? Maybe there's more I should tell you about myself so that you'll get a fuller picture of how well-qualified I am."

I did not see them. I was studying the layout and appliances. I
noticed that your microwave was at oven-height. I thought about that for
a while, and that may be the best location: no counterspace used, no
upper cabinet space used, and the lower cabinet is a small one anyway
... and you have a microwave.

Actually, my oven is at oven-height, and my microwave is crammed under the countertop like ovens are normally crammed under cooktops in ranges. That particular microwave -- while not terribly expensive -- was a real find for that application. It is actually deeper than it is wide, and the entire front face is the door.

Hate to sound paranoid but I *do* believe that old employers may also very well be badmouthing me, and am giving serious thought to hiring a screening service that will call them for me and find out what information they're giving out. Who knows, it might be quite the eye-opener.

I wonder if they're interviewing you just to fill some sort of internal quota? In other words, they have no intention of hiring you, they're just going through the motions just to check off a box on a report they have to file with HR.

I've hired a whole bunch of people over the years, mainly in the field of accounting, and there is actually a real dynamic that can come into play. You start out with one conception of the job and gradually come around to another. It's like one place I was working where we kept hiring receptionists -- we started out with "attractive, friendly, outgoing, happy"....and kept ending up with "spends all her time chatting with the vendors -- who are flirting with her in our entry hall instead of making the goddamned parts we need to keep the place running" and "comes in late every other day looking rumpled after clubbing" and "ok, which engineer is she dating now?"
And somehow that "attractive, friendly, outgoing, happy" turns into "can reliably get their ugly-ass in to unlock the doors at 8 am". Even though it's the same job.

However, they're all pretty good fun if you just want some yucks, some action and whatnot. If there's one thing I give the "new reboot" Bond movies and Daniel Craig credit for... it's making me reevaluate the Moore years. I know think "jeez, you know what? those weren't so bad after all."

Oddly, there are no reviews. The 7.1" size has plenty of reviews:

That's the one I first bought, then found that it didn't quite fit on the shelf where I wanted to keep it, so I exchanged it for the 4.7" version.
Zassenhaus makes four different sizes. There are also 9.4" and 11.8" models. They all have the same grinding mechanism; the only difference is the storage capacity for peppercorns. The smallest size is perfectly adequate for home use. If you own a restaurant, you'll want one of the larger ones.

"Demonstrations in San Francisco's Union Square escalated Friday evening as several hundred protesters marched on Market Street and some smashed businesses' windows or set off fireworks along the way....
Several hundred protesters tried to enter the square and join the demonstration when police herded them down Market Street.
Protesters could be heard yelling, "Missouri, Palestine, justice now," and "No justice, no peace."
At one point, the window at Crate and Barrel was smashed, along with windows at Grace Jewelry, located at 121 O'Farrell St. An employee at Grace Jewelry said he saw a young man use a sledgehammer to smash the window.
"It's hard to imagine someone being so violent," the employee said.
The Apple store locked their doors and wouldn't let people in or out. ...
At one point, protesters threw a brick through a police car's window. An officer was also hit in the head with a brick. That officer is expected to be OK.
Some people set off fireworks and chanted, "SFPD, how do you spell murder?" as drivers in cars honked their horns in support."
Insert sarcastic comment here. Though nor are even necessary at this point, the leftists having long since become self-parodies who are their own worst enemies -- a walking public-relations disaster.

Hiring/Firing is an intensely fucked-up process from both sides.....and, as government gets increasingly involved, it's getting worse. The fiancee actually was a manager of tech support at Resumix, and the cat-and-mouse games of "buzzword bingo" are just insane. I don't know of any hiring manager who isn't pissed-off at HR for filtering all the qualified people out of resumes submitted, while pushing dubious candidates who utterly collapse during interviews. And then, if you do hire someone they give you -- after all, you've got a crying need if you put yourself through the process at all -- any employee problem that ever arises afterwards is entirely your fault. It's like they want you to filter out the crazies and let them filter out the qualifications, when it really should be the other way around.

The only thing that's become annoying is the BBC-style Multi-Culti Disease; forcing ethnic characters into the mythos is so transparently obvious it's just annoying.
They could have just inserted the most obvious twist; instead of Bond going 'rogue' in Der Schweitzer Alpen, just have him wandering around in Bombay - err, excuse me, Mumbai.
No pandering, no affectation. Just a straight, hard as nails spy story with realistic cross-cultural awkwardness and eventual heroism.
They could have done a half dozen episodes of Bond in former colonies to satisfy all that zealous multi-culti fantasy shit.
ABER NEIN!

Each of the Moore flicks have something to offer, but none are what I'd call classic (but, what makes a "classic" Bond flick is highly subjective). "Live and Let Die" is probably Moore's best Bond portrayal, it's his first and he he kind of makes it work. Dumb flick, though, but it has it's moments. "For Your Eyes Only" is arguably his best one, overall. "A View to a Kill" is woeful, but dammit, it has Christopher Walken and Grace Jones chewing scenery as baddies, so there's that. "Moonraker" is excrement. 'Nuff said."Octopussy" is pretty trite, also.
I rate "Goldeneye" highly. An actual classic. The last great Bond flick. Maybe even the last good one. The Daniel Craig Bond flicks are not Bond. They're charmless actioners that just go through the motions and are not even very well made. "Casion Royale" is decent enough, if you ignore Craig as Bond. "Skyfall"... oh my God. Worst. Bond. Ever.

The Connery films were edgy and disturbing. In Goldfinger, everyone at Fort Knox could actually be dead. Bond was occasionally brutal -- in Dr. No, there's this little exchange:

Yeah, that's a good description. They had an edge and were disturbing. But, not all the Connery flicks were so inclined (overall). After "Goldfinger", they got a bit... dunno, lighter? Even Goldfinger was a big departure from No and FRWL. However they still carried weight. I've come to really dig "You only Live Twice" over the years and I think it has displaced FRWL as the best Connery Bond film. Dunno why... it just works better and has a grand quality that the earlier ones lacked. Yes, it's often silly, but dammit, it's Bond, James Bond.

...given the chain of relationships, this sorta crap reflects badly on the Left, which is increasingly being linked to the 'rats.
Just imagine someone like Warren being put on the spot about such behavior... IMO, she'd reflexively defend their 'acting up'.
The democrats were clever about this, they'd publicly turn their backs on these scumbags... but they can't... because they are the 'rats most reliable foot-soldiers.

The first Bond I saw in a theater was View To A Kill. First time I heard Duran Duran for that matter.
Yes, Moore's a hammy, animated manikin who just slinks through scenes without any kind of traction to the plot.
It was a spectacle in the original sense. Just excess, over-the-top cinema.

It's really, really good. Well filmed, great pacing, killer theme, arguably the best opening setup scene of all, Sean Bean as villain, Joe Don Baker and Robbie Coltrane are great, Brosnan actually makes a stellar Bond... and it has the perfect blend for what plays out like a classic mid 60's Connery fun fest. Classic.

The Connery films were edgy and disturbing. In Goldfinger, everyone at
Fort Knox could actually be dead. Bond was occasionally brutal -- in Dr.
No, there's this little exchange:[Professor Dent tries to kill Bond,
but his gun is out of bullets]James Bond: That's a Smith Wesson, and
you've had your six.[shoots Dent twice]
Posted by: cthulhu at November 29, 2014 02:44 AM
Yeah, that's a good description. They had an edge and were
disturbing. But, not all the Connery flicks were so inclined (overall).
After "Goldfinger", they got a bit... dunno, lighter? Even Goldfinger
was a big departure from No and FRWL. However they still carried weight.
I've come to really dig "You only Live Twice" over the years and I
think it has displaced FRWL as the best Connery Bond film. Dunno why...
it just works better and has a grand quality that the earlier ones
lacked. Yes, it's often silly, but dammit, it's Bond, James Bond. Even
the mostly laughable "Diamonds are Forever" works due to Connery!

Just a taste: "This "Bond film" was not part of the franchise produced by MGM and Danjaq. Kevin McClory, who was producer and co-writer of Thunderball (1965), won a legal battle against Ian Fleming to make his own Bond movie. The settlement stipulated that it had to effectively be a remake of Thunderball."

Yes, you had the gadgets, the grand scheme of a (non-SPECTER) villain, and a globe-spanning plot, but that film, the varied women in the film stood in the first rank of the film's crafting.
With YOLT, the was an equal number of women, but the plot drove the film, first and foremost. It too is in my 'top 5' Bond flicks...

It's a bit unusual for cinema to get two bites of the apple....with the same lead.
Favorite bit from Thunderball -- in spa, walks briskly down corridor.... without breaking stride, elbow shoots out and hits fire alarm. Favorite bit from NSNA -- in spa, after lab fight, finding out the source for "pepper spray".

YOLT has far better toys and settings than FRWL, and is much further removed from the book. FRWL is perhaps the best embodiment of the original novel (save Thunderball -- where the novel was more like a novelization with a collaborator).

As a way of understanding my POV concerning Bond films; this was a film franchise that I literally grew up with... for me, Thunderball was one of the classics (Bond-wise). Granted, I was on the young side when it was released, so that might be a factor in my affection for it (Yes, I saw it in a theater... not a TV screen), but it had everything that made a Bond flick a 'Bond film'.
NSNA, by my viewpoint, was a fun, but ultimately pointless remake of a classic Bond film... I viewed it as merely eye candy and an unseemly attempt by a studio to rake in box-office $'s... sorta like Octopussy.
...it added nothing else to the progression of the Bond character.

The second job I ever had after leaving high school was for a computer maker. The boxes they were shipped in had those egg-crate foam inserts, and truckloads of the stuff would be delivered. Those of us that worked in the stockroom would pile them up in the corner of the warehouse in a manner that allowed for creation of a hidden passage that led to a cubby hole the middle of the foam pile, and we put a couple of beanbags in there, so that whoever needed or wanted to take a nap could do so without fear of being caught by the brass. The only people not allowed to use it were those known to snore loudly.

Oddly, it was released in the same year as Octopussy, IIRC. It was billed as a "battle of the Bonds" between Roger Moore and Sean Connery, but could well have been a battle of the Ian Fleming version of Bond (based on Thunderball, a project he had something to do with) and the Hollywood version of Bond (where Octopussy is a short story that has nothing to do with the film other than its title).

There isn't much contest between Octopussy and NSNA. The Connery one wins. I've never actually watched Thunderball and NSNA back to back. I should. I think my memory has been tainted by the fact that Thunderball doesn't fare as well on the small screen compared to the big screen. NSNA translates to TV better... or so I recall. Dunno.

Sean Connery's selection as James Bond owed a lot to Dana Broccoli, wife of Cubby Broccoli, who is reputed to have been instrumental in persuading Cubby that Sean Connery was the right man. James Bond's creator, Ian Fleming, originally doubted Connery's casting, saying, "He's not what I envisioned of James Bond looks" and "I'm looking for Commander Bond and not an overgrown stunt-man," adding that Connery (muscular, 6' 2", and a Scot) was unrefined. Fleming's girlfriend told him Connery had the requisite sexual charisma. Fleming changed his mind after the successful Dr. No premiere; he was so impressed, he created a half-Scottish, half-Swiss heritage for the literary James Bond in the later novels. -- http://tinyurl.com/ng58486

I kinda doubt it. Niven played many roles, but 'manly with his fists' was never high on the list.
Many of his characters were 'thoughtful', and 'clever'; hell, Robert Shaw would have been a better fit... or a younger version of Cary Grant.
If not Connery, then I haven't a clue... my knowledge of English actors from that time period is somewhat lacking.
Frankly, I can't imagine anybody else stepping into the role...

Beats me why it would be considered bad. It's a great flick and very well put together. It's got a bit of everything in it and it's told really well. Lazenby was adequate as Bond. Nothing special, but he certainly is convincing in the physical scenes. A middle tier Bond. It's the one I always go back to as the best overall film. If Connery was in it how could anyone rail against it? Lazenby did Ok. I thought Savalas made a great Blofeld. Sinister and intimidating.

We have basic cable, so odor is not included.

Same thing with Kanye West (Bush hates black people) and Lena Dunham (your first time), among others.

Yeah he had a certain... something. If the films had continued in the 60's tradition, he could have really served as a good replacement for Connery. Poor bastard had to follow Connery. But with the direction it took in the 70's it was probably just as well he did just the one. I'm not sure he could have suited the more comedic Bond flicks of the 70's. Connery almost struggled in Diamonds.

My guess on the burger -- Turkey with swiss, topped by baked apples, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.

Like a turd that won't stay flushed, that sammich picture keeps bobbing to the top...
Will no new thread be posted to rid us of that accursed sammich?

I had not encountered dressing being added to a submarine sammich until I came to Delaware, where it is a Big Gastronomical Thing. I saw them first at a working luncheon with subs procured from a local shop. To my "Da fuq", I was assured that this was really, really good. To which my response was, "I take my dressing on the side, with gravy. No, thanks."

779 Krebs planning on doing some blacksmithing?
Posted by: freaked at November 29, 2014 06:55 AM (JdEZJ)
Silversmithing and copper smithing, actually, with perhaps other precious metals down the road after having developed some experience with the craft.

Hello from Way Down Here (hello fellow Sydneysider otho)
Holidays and the place is all quiet....and that food thing looks so awful -vomit in a bun - but as in quite a few disgusting looking food things, it probably tastes wonderful!

I know what it intends, just not what the words mean. So, yeah, I guess, on-the-mark is the general idea. Still sounds... poufy.
I'm no French-style language purist, but I think we ought to be cautious on importing Britishisms, before we're overrun with egregious 'u's and sticky wickets.

Of course it's equally disconcerting to read British articles and spot all the Americanisms that have been adopted, especially the Yiddish ones (yes I feel they are ours - OUR Joos control the global media, MWAha!).
