Whenever there's a hard dip in the oil price, I always wonder if it's because someone somewhere has finally substantiated Tommy Gold's wild old theory of abiotic oil origins, and shown conclusively that the stuff never will run out for any practical purposes.
I have grave demurrals from Gold's ideas, but just assuming for purposes of argument that they or something like them were true, imagine the total shit hemorrhage the ecoholic left would have.
A big part of their schtick about "renewable energy" is the line about how, well, y'know, the oil's running out quickly anyway, so we don't have much to lose by going green right away.
I suspect it would come down to OMG CO2.
To wit: well, y'know, the oil never will run out, but we dare not actually extract and burn it, because we court Thermageddon by doing so.

Depressing: In last Sunday's KidsPost, which is part of WaPo's comics section, there was an "interview" with 6th-graders from an area school. One of the questions was what they thought is biggest global problem today and what can be done about it. The answer was global warming and the solutions are about what you'd expect.

No flu here. Fingers crossed.
Did not get immunized this year. Which might be okay. I understand that CDC missed, and the most prevalent strain showing up is not one of the ones in this year's shot.
A family member away at college is apparently hammered flat with flu of whatever strain, with final exams on the way. What a joy that will be.

The way those work is that they get a baseline, then up the CPAP pressure and see if it improves, then up the CPAP pressure and see if it improves, then up the pressure.....and so on. With me, they topped out the test machine while still getting improvement, so I needed to get a machine with more pressure available then their tester.

The machine-gun range out West, where they handed a tiny little girl an Uzi and she promptly managed to shoot the instructor next to her in the head, to fatal effect, scared the crap out of me.
I've had more than enough dopes muzzle me on conventional ranges. Sometimes with safeties off and fingers inside guards. If I'm going to be around automatic weapons, I want to be reasonably sure that the people around me know WTF they're doing, and a tourist-trap civilian range ain't that.

"None of us can take a break from not being white. You, white person, with all your supposed good intentions, will never let us. Either because you're actively racist, racist but with too delicate an ego to ever do anything about your racism except cry about the mean PoC, or willing to remain silent and let us carry on without support.
You've already won. You won centuries ago when you left Europe and decided to crush the rest of the world. Conquer, colonise, crush. Centuries this has gone on. You have centuries of victory and triumph.
You've won again. You've succeeded in driving PoC from the scene. You succeeded in driving me and others from the internet. You've wrenched open schisms between PoC which will take years of hard work to heal, if they heal at all. We're diverse, we're not monolith. We're divided, and you will always ensure that remains so."
and
"As a WoC I feel cheap.
Not worth as much to you, white person, as your fellow white people.
I'm learning about hate because I am coming to hate you, white person. You have all the control, all the power, all the privilege, and there is nothing holding you accountable. I hate the double standards and hypocrisy you display, the rank dishonesty of your conduct. I hate that you can harm us, when we cannot harm you. I hate that you have actually impacted on careers, multiple and not even directly, with your hypocrisy. I hate that you're so dominant in the publishing industry there's very few venues I'd consider safe to even submit to now. I hate what you have done to PoC I don't know. I hate what you have done to PoC I do know. I hate what you have done to me, and I was not involved."

I've had something weird for the past week. It started out as post-nasal drip and went straight to my lungs. I've had an uncontrollable hacking cough, and a few nights ago I woke up and felt like I was drowning in mucus.
Apart from that, I've had no symptoms at all. I don't even feel "under the weather". It's the strangest cold I've ever had. I think the worst is over, but I've still got the sniffles and the lung congestion.

Gets turned into the Game Commission.
Returns to land he trespassed on and smashed out all the windows on the owner's vehicle. Really bad choice.

I always liked his response to the telemarketer for a carpet cleaner.

I've had something weird for the past week. It started out as post-nasal drip and went straight to my lungs. I've had an uncontrollable hacking cough, and a few nights ago I woke up and felt like I was drowning in mucus.
Apart from that, I've had no symptoms at all. I don't even feel "under the weather". It's the strangest cold I've ever had. I think the worst is over, but I've still got the sniffles and the lung congestion
I had the same thing this week- now wifey has it. But the congestion went away after a day of drippy runny nose symptoms that seemed to respond to antihistamine.

Kroger has a deal where you earn points by buying groceries in their store, and gift cards are double points. They let you "cash in" up to a 1000 points per gasoline transactions, and that 1000 points will get you $1.00 per gallon off. Their current price is $2.05 a gallon, and I figure it will be under $2 by the New Year and I can't wait to pay under a $1 for a gallon.

I noticed an increase is unwanted calls from questionable callers after I had a car accident. I was going to a lot of medical offices and filling out a lot of paperwork. I thought these papers were supposed to be confidential but I suppose someone along the line somewhere must have been selling my phone number because the calls started around that time.
Now when I have to fill out paperwork or give a phone number to a store or something, they get my Google Voice number. Only friends and family get my personal cell number.
If you don't like Google, you can also download one of those free call blocking apps for your cell.
Many new landline phone models also come with call blocking features.

No, my mother is always out in left field, but now my wife has decided to do the same.
I told them I wanted a specific jersey, in red. My wife wrote that down. Handed it to my mom. My mom then, a couple days later, texted me and asked what color. I said again, "Red".
Now my wife is telling me that my mom is freaking out because I told her I wanted the white one and it showed up red and what was she going to do. And my wife is going right along with this insanity and insisting I said I wanted the white one.
AND she's not even sure of the story. "Well, maybe your mom said she ordered red and it showed up white. I'm not sure."

Problem is, I don't know whether the jersey is actually white or red. And apparently my mom tried to get on the phone to return/reorder and they told her they couldn't guarantee delivery in time for Christmas.
So I'm getting a jersey with the receipt pinned to it on Christmas morning.

That may not have been all that they were selling.
The back rooms of medical practices are a major, major, major tap root for identity theft.
Big fat files full of personally identifying information, being handled by potentially sketchy people who aren't vetted before hiring, and who aren't paid much. What could go wrong?
Where I can, I try to pay in cash for this stuff and not provide things like my SSN. I'd actually like for my medical file to identify me as Throatwarbler Mangrove or some similar untraceable nonexploitable pseudonym, but that makes prescriptions a nonstarter.

When I was 10 I really wanted the board game Risk. Made sure my mom knew I wanted. Under the tree was a board game shaped box that rattled when I shook it. Come Christmas morning the box is opened, only to discover that it was some cheesy "shoot a marble at some bumper cushion" game. I was really pissed at my Mom.
P.S. I got over it by the time I was 11. You should do the same.

Oh boy, do they ever. Internet spammers, too.
I have serious disquiet that sooner or later, one of the older members of our extended family is going to get taken by an e-mail phishing scheme.
There are concepts they simply don't get, and will not get, regarding the fundamental insecurity of the Internet as presently constituted. And many of these campaigns are clearly aimed at them.
"OFFICIAL U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WARNING: YOUR MEDICARE BENEFITS WILL BE PERMANENTLY CUT OFF WITHIN 24 HOURS IF YOU DO NOT LOG IN TO OUR WEB SITE TO RESPOND AT ONCE".
With a link ostensibly to some medicare.gov site, but which is really to xmb597.gfh12.cn.
I've told them each at least a dozen times to never respond to any such thing without checking with me first off. I am not confident they will reliably do so.
I may have to actually set up a scheme to filter and forward every single bit of their inbound mail. It's that bad. And then of course I will have to keep that hidden from them, because (a) they "don't want to be a burden", and (b) they still think at some level that I'm a kid barely out of diapers and THEY are the responsible adults.

Once you've piled up enough goodies for them to charge you a pretty penny (I think the minimum is $250), they offer 4-, 8- and even 12-month payment plans. And they apparently don't check credit as they've even approved *me* twice. (Thankfully I came through on the payments both times.)
I believe if you're in the lower 48, they offer free shipping too.
*And,* the last item I bought (some M-Audio speakers), I was able to find them for something like $150 less at Amazon. I wrote to them via email, and they counteroffered me a deal for the same speakers, new, for just under what Amazon was charging, and *still* allowed me to use the 4-payment option. Good customer service IMHO.

Yeah, watch their email for this stuff. I had an email scam attempt for my credit card. The email looked exactly like actual emails from my credit card company. They claimed that they were doing some security deal, and needed me to fill out certain info on an attached form. They asked for my card number, the security numbers, the expiration date, and get this, my mother's maiden name and the password for my email account.
Of course I just reported it to the company. They said that this one is pretty common.

That's a pretty common one, I usually get a call like that every few months.
They claim to be from Microsoft and tell you that you have a virus. Then they have to go online and check the registry, and they declare a perfectly innocent entry as a virus.
After that one of two things happens. They tell you to buy some software (as a discount of course) and install it... and by "software" I means a virus, worm, or other such nasty. Alternately, they will have you download some software (again, completely innocent software) that allows them to view your desktop and control your curser... and then they run some nefarious commands.

[...]Cuba follows the guiding theory of a
system for the elimination of private property and total control of
the means of production, although in recent years there has been
an attempt to bring about reforms. What is certain is that the few
economic measures that have been allowed have resulted in the
bettering of living standards of more than eleven million people.
It is common to read or hear, by the
defenders of Cuban Communism, that the country is commended by
international organizations for the elimination of illiteracy and
is considered to have a good health system.
What they forget is that, lamentably,
the Cubans do not have liberty.
And this is not a minor detail.
Without the possibility of creating or
studying as one wishes, what is the benefit of learning to read or
write? If one cannot criticize the government, can one be proud of
literacy rates?
It is a barbarity that during the
celebration of the International Day of Human Rights the dictatorship
of the Castros arrested various members of the group "Damas de
Blanco" [Dec 10 2014]. It was simply a real world
demonstration of how a revolution begun in 1959 continues, using the
inhabitants of the island as guinea pigs
What began as an adventure to depose an
authoritarian government turned into a political and economic
nightmare. Even today Cubans attempt to escape in
large numbers from the dictatorship by sea, risking their lives to
find a country truly free or at least looking for better working
conditions for their families.
In this light, it is pointless
argument to defend the existence of the last dictatorship in Latin
America.
[and it goes on from there to a few closing remarks, and addressing the socialist governments of Venezuela and Bolivia]

At the shop, we constantly get calls trying to sell access to "business capital", credit card processing or "our records show your Google listing needs to be updated". I'm generally rude.

Heh. In my dark past, I had two partners in a software company. We produced software for tracking sales leads. Periodically we would receive cellophane wrapped card decks in the mail. The card decks were bundles of prepaid post cards which were each from different companies that had *something* to sell.
One of my partners came up with a brilliant marketing scheme..., OK..., devious marketing scheme.
We had a sticky label printed up that said something like "How are you tracking the leads produced by theses cards? Call us at xxx.xxx.xxxxx to inquire about our industry leading software". Slapped the labels on the (postage paid!) post cards, dropped 'em in the mail.
People went ballistic. Weren't so happy that we were using their dime to mail them advertisement.

Yeah, the originals had their problems. Single coil pick ups could be tricky when driving the mesa hard... and they would get really hot. But so did fender bassmans. However, back then, there was nothing that sounded like it when it clicked. Best not to drive it too hard. The 60w even needed to bejimmied down to 30 for best effect. Will look into the mk 5.

The Pentagon lists cyber-attacks as an "Act of War" yet POTUS and Congress let Sony twist in the wind BY THEMSELVES.
Maybe if our government had let Sony know they had their backs, Sony wouldn't have pulled the movie.
Can you imagine if NK had actually bombed some theatres? Sony would have blood on its hands. PR nightmare. Ruined ticket sales for ALL other movies playing right now.
Since when do we expect little private companies to stand up to BOMB threats by foreign governments?
What if AQ had threatened United Airlines a few days before 9/11, should UAL have still flown that day just so "terrorists wouldn't win"? No, they would've grounded flights and the government would've fought AQ. UAL is not required to fight AQ, that's what the government is for.
Sorry for the rant. I'm just sick of this.

*******
Your post is mixed as hell. You blame Sony for not standing up to the Norks, but give our Gov a pass. Then, you invert it and blame our Gov for lack of a response, and cite Sony for acting sensibly. Pick a position and stay with it please.

Hello?
Hello Mr. _____, we talked with you earlier this year about having your heating system serviced and cleaned, and I'm calling to remind you...
Excuse me, I never talked with anyone about servicing our system.
Well I have a record here...
No you don't. I installed our furnace and service it myself.
But...
I don't think it's a very good business practice to try and win new customers by starting off with a lie.
Well I'm just...
Thank you, bye.

Ah, I have no idea how that happened.
We can process your debt via credit card right now, over the phone.
Gee, all mine are cut up. How about a check? Who shall I make it out to?
Well, we're not really set up to process checks.
Oh, how about cash? By all means, come right over. Let's settle this up right now. I live at 2801 Baseball Bat Drive.

Please read my post again, I never blame Sony, not once. I blame the gov only. In fact, I said that Sony stood firm while only they were threatened and didn't pull the movie until the lives of movie-goers were on the line. Meanwhile the gov turns a blind eye.

stereo speak. One time I tried it, I put the phone down next to the
stereo speaker and blasted some metal. 4 or 5 minutes later the lady was
still on the phone going "Hello? Hello?"
Yeah not quite what I expected.

The telephone network limits the strength of the signal going to the earpiece, regardless of how loud a noise is fed into the mouthpiece. You could set off a stick of dynamite on your end, and all the other party will hear is bang! I mean, look at the damn phone: the earpiece is less than 2 inches in diameter, and its diaphragm is constrained to move no more than maybe 1/16". It probably can't put out more than a quarter watt of audio.
