Overnight Open Thread (3-12-2015)

Quote of the Day I

Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady -- a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation -- is a congenital liar.

Drip by drip, like Whitewater torture, the case is being made that she is compelled to mislead, and to ensnare her subordinates and friends in a web of deceit.

-- Bill Safire in his 1996 essay on Hillary Clinton, Blizzard of Lies.

That Lindsey Graham Sure Loves to Joke About Being a Maximal Leader

When all your little 'jokes' seem to work the same ground, maybe you aren't really joking. Reason #19 Graham should never be allowed to have any executive power.

In brief audio obtained by BenSwann.com, Sen. Graham purportedly suggests he would use the military to restrict the movement of Congress until they complied:

.[A]nd here is the first thing I would do if I were President of the United States: I wouldn't let Congress leave town until we fix this. I would literally use the military to keep them in if I had to. We're not leaving town until we restore these defense cuts. We're not leaving town until we restore the intel cuts.

Asked for comment or clarification, Graham responded to the right-leaning website with this boilerplate: "Due to the large volume of mail I receive, I regret that I am only able to respond personally to inquiries from South Carolinians. [emphasis added]

ATTENTION MORONS: Japan Needs Male Pr0n Stars!

Though Shimiken's count of working male porn actors might seem low, other insiders have pegged the number as even lower, closer to 30. As for their female counterparts, a controversial Japanese article recently asserted that, statistically, 1 in 200 Japanese women had appeared in an AV film, with an industry churn of 6,000 new actresses a year, according to the author Atsuhiko Nakamura. Demand is high-Japan produces more than double the number of porn films as the U.S., though America has more than twice its population.

Later tonight, a NASA scientific mission is scheduled to launch at 10:44 pm EDT. An Atlas V will launch from Cape Canaveral and put four identical satellites in orbit. They will study Earth's magnetic field and how it interacts with solar flares and coronal mass ejections. It's called the Magnetic Multiscale (MMS) mission.

84 One other interesting thing about tonight's launch is that after the four satellites are deployed, the second stage will vent its remaining fuel. This will occur high over the Mediterranean, and might be visible along the East Coast.

It's supposed to happen 2 hours and 7 minutes after launch, so that would be about 12:51 am EDT if the launch is on schedule. Unfortunately, the stage will enter Earth's shadow right around that time, so I don't know if it will be visible.

These upper stage venting events are often responsible for UFO reports. For example, if the stage is tumbling, the vented fuel could look like a glowing spiral in the sky. I've never seen one. I don't know if I'll be able to stay up that late, though.

97 These upper stage venting events are often responsible for UFO reports. For example, if the stage is tumbling, the vented fuel could look like a glowing spiral in the sky. I've never seen one. I don't know if I'll be able to stay up that late, though.

Strangest thing I've seen, well, in that regard, were the barium rockets that NASA put up in the late 70's. I could the glow in the daylight sky all the way up in Marietta, Georgia.

Just checking, I see that they continue to do it.

It's amazing what they don't teach in nursing school. 10 percent is probably technical things. The other 90 is on the job training. I have always done home health and hospice so I go into homes where people feel very free to ask of me anything. My best story is the 95 yr old that begged me to "just lay with him".

I don't listen to many political podcasts myself. I've checked out the RedState youtube podcast/vodcast where they have like a dozen right-wingers from all the different right-wing websites. It's like C-team punditry.

Like this one:
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Friends: Hillary's #EmailGate, Iowa, ...: https://youtu.be/Mf6YMM0iwCE via @YouTube

Can be entertaining to put a face and voice behind a right-wing journalist type as they audition for a FoxNews guest spot.

193 140 Rarely anymore am I up for an ONT. But that vag thread has me uncomfortable. For 2 reasons. Vag steaming (as a nurse) makes me think of a moist environment for critters to grow. Not good. The vag knitting reminds me of I can't count how many times over my 20 plus years as a nurse that I have been asked by older ladies to trim their cooters. I have a feeling bad dreams are in my near future.

Some white people are very pale, but others have olive skin in varying shades.

All they did was state their position. That is not treason, it is free speech, and what we expect from politicians. It's in no way similar to negotiating or meeting privately with foreign leaders.

Are we to believe that politicians are never allowed to state their position of foreign matters? This claim about "interfering with foreign policy" should have been laughed at on the news, instead of amplified.

How does the left warp reality so effectively that no one reports this as free, and expected speech.

I was just considering pitching Ace a post about podcasts d/l'd by the Horde...

Ricochet (main) - damn inconsistent but it usually has snippets of Lileks in full Screed mode.

Ricochet Radio Free Europe - Richard Delingpool, UK chap, hard right for a Brit, anti-green as they come

Mad dogs and Englishmen - Charles CCCCCCW Cooke and Kevin Williamson. Posting schedule = erratic.

Adam Carolla - Regular episodes, not always that interesting, but if you're ok with his rambling, ranting style, then adequate entertainment to get through chores whilst playing.

Hillsdale online course lectures - A bunch of good stuff, though they require a bit more concentration than the others above.

The History of Rome - some Moron (tm) mentioned this before. It's a series of lectures on ancient Rome (crazy, I know!) 179 casts in total averaging 20 minutes.

268 I have one pretty liberal friend left on FB, though thankfully we never talk politics.

I've noticed lately (last few weeks) that if I like some sharp-edged pro-GOP, pro-Cruz, etc stuff, he'll do the same. And if I post something nasty about the Dems (which I did earlier today), he starts posting stuff on other strings that's nasty about the GOP. But, he never challenges me directly, and I never challenge him.

Beginning to think this isn't a coincidence. Maybe I need to block him without unfriending him.

348 True. But these posts originated with race.

So?

Not my problem. So sick and tired of the PC crowd, and walking on eggshells.

I don't have any problem with people of other races, (in fact, I work with *many* --from various countries) and they don't have any problem with me. It's the differing standards -- and you know damn well what I mean!

The *problem* arises when a person cannot say, "hey, this guy's milking the system" or "hey, this gal's slacking off" --IF-- they also happen to belong to some *protected group*.
(Otherwise, oh --- fair game...)

350 We really have to stop making up reality to fit our beliefs and see what's really there before it's too late.

The inability to grasp and/or deal with reality is one of the typical symptoms of mental disease.

Liberalism is a mental disease and they've managed to pass it on to those who don't have it.

The question is which will happen first: the collapse of our country or a shock that forces us to see and acknowledge the reality of how things really are.

It's going to be a rude awakening for a lot of people either way.

Posted by: Stateless Infidel


From my meager experience with Korean expats and visiting for all of 2 days, Korea is a very conservative country.

2 of my friends one girl, one guy, and I stopped over on our way to some backpacking in SE asia. We read that the red-light district hotels were cheap, so we took a taxi to the area.

Found what looked like a medium-sized 'no-tell motel' and went in. The proprietor didn't speak the best of english but it sounded like he said, "No one room. No."

"So no rooms open?"

"MAN WOMAN, OK. MAN MAN, OK. NO, YOU YOU YOU"

So we rented two rooms.

361 310 tbodie, thanks for sharing that. That was funny.

But yep, I meant every word.

What's even more frustrating and bewildering is, women seem to like and respect men who never say anything nice to them, far more than they do the ones who give them respect.

I'm sure some people will disagree, but that's been my experience the last several years.


---

The thing about that is that everyone values (what they perceive as) sincerity. If you have reason to be suspicious of compliments or even of decent treatment (lots of people, men and women, who grew up in dysfunctional environments are suspicious of "nice" treatment because it has been used to manipulate in the past), then poor treatment comes across as simple honesty.

Yeah. It's frustrating and fucked up, because people are fucked up and frustrating.

Why thank you.

I think suspicion of flattery is especially a problem for women because, well, it kind of has to be. We get it pretty well drilled into our heads starting at puberty to be suspicious of guys being nice because they might have unsavory motives. And we do kind of need that, because some dudes do in fact do that. So a guy who isn't nice at all is the one guy you can be certain isn't using niceness to manipulate you. He may be using assholery to manipulate, though...

Argh. People.

432 As to my learning about racisim as a youth. It was walking into Indian and black bars. I never felt scared in walking into most bars as a young guy. Little towns all eyes are on you trying to figure out who in town you are related to. Racist bars they are figuring out if anybody cares if they beat the crap out of you.

433 423 I have a blind spot when it comes to criticizing Indians, so pardon me while I ignore you.

In a way, it's not really about criticizing Indians. It's about the sadness inherent in a defeated culture. We've never been closer to that ourselves than we are now, except for a brief period in the 30's.

Maybe. Or maybe people who are dicks are perceived as not being the seeker, but the seekee. Think about a job interview. If you're unemployed, you need that job, so you put on your best suit, laugh at all his stupid jokes, and generally act like Not You.

Now, if you've already got a good job, but have been sought out by this new company who promises you a massive salary increase, you'll still dress nice and act polite, but you're going to be a lot closer to the Real You because you just don't need them as much as they need you.

So, if you act like you don't care, people will assume you've already got it pretty good and don't need or even care about their approval.

Worked for me, but I'm confident to the point of delusion.

"So after we bombed the crap out of them (although not enough in Germany’s case to suit me), at least some survivors retained memories of their culture’s rational past, all the better to reconstruct or even surpass it."

Ever wonder about how the actors felt about portraying the Nazis as buffoons? It was easy..., the actors were Jewish.

Posted by: nerdygirl at March 12, 2015 11:43 PM (KzWjU) ]/i]


I'd put the strong case: they cannot grow up, because you grow up when you have to.



To pursue the logic further, a grownup learns how to handle money. Conversely, if you have to have patient instruction to do that, and yet still fail, you're not a grownup. If you're not a grownup, then you shouldn't be voting, because voting is soliciting the opinion of grownups on how the polity should be run.


Is there an error in that logic?

518 Smith wrote in essence that Mercantilism is inferior to systems that allow people to produce on their own terms

People are The Wealth of Nations.

Note that this doesn't excuse you from not reading the Cliff Notes/SparkNotes of the book.

Posted by: weft cut-loop at March 12, 2015 11:02 PM (XvsbD)


Mercantilism is definitely an inferior form of economic organization, but there is nothing in it that inherently prevents people from "producing on their own terms". Its primary focus has always been on a positive balance of trade, reinforced by national tariff and trade policies, not the micromanagement of individual economic tasking or productivity. Cronyism does probably layer inefficient "most favored industries" on top of natural economic activity, but that is a secondary effect; i.e. opportunists manipulating generally incompetent bureaucrats for their own gain in the name of "national economic policy". In my opinion, the most Mercantilist nation in the world today is China, and it's catching up with them fast.

Not so sure about this. I has some friends in CA whose families came over after the fall of Saigon, and I expected them to be very anti-Chinese, but they weren't. They watched Chinese drama with vietnamese subtitles, studied Chinese history, and generally saw things from a Chinese perspective. They were looking forward to the "chinese century" and saw the US, and the west as inferior.

It surprised me, considering they were US citizens and what China has done to their people for so long, but they tended to see that as an internal affair among Asians, and they were Asian first.

Posted by: CQD


Mercantilism relied on State-licensed trading companies for trade. Not sure how that isn't micro-management. Leaving aside domestic service industries, what's the difference if the goods are controlled by an extension of the State?

Cronyism does probably layer inefficient "most favored industries" on top of natural economic activity, but that is a secondary effect; i.e. opportunists manipulating generally incompetent bureaucrats for their own gain in the name of "national economic policy".

But that's the whole game; the power to set trading limits, licenses, prices, etc, - that's not free trade in any shape or form.

There was quite a bit of persecution of ethnic Chinese after 1975. All the Chinese schools were closed, businesses taken over by the government, although to be fair, the new government took a lot of things from a lot of people. The Chinese were treated as second class citizens. This has been documented and shown on television shows too. Maybe the former South Vietnamese people don't have that prejudice but the northerners sure did. My friend was married to a Vietnamese guy and her sister still is. It's funny, the younger ones only know how to speak Vietnamese. My friend and her older sister and brother all speak Vietnamese, Mandarin, and Cantonese. Their mother speaks all that plus a local dialect that was only spoken near the village of her ancestors.

592 Dack: the one-two punch of "Carrie" and the mid-1970s miniseries "Salem's Lot" did a TON to popularize King. And then King kept the ball rolling with "The Shining," release a literal shit-ton more novels, and getting even more directors to turn even his absolute worst dreck into more and more films.

One that's supposedly not that great, but has great camp value, is John Carpenter's "Christine." I still remember the crush I had in my senior year, Lisa Gaona (who of course also hated my guts) reading the hardcover in class when she had a bit of spare time.

624 Mercantilism relied on State-licensed trading companies for trade. Not sure how that isn't micro-management. Leaving aside domestic service industries, what's the difference if the goods are controlled by an extension of the State?

Cronyism does probably layer inefficient "most favored industries" on top of natural economic activity, but that is a secondary effect; i.e. opportunists manipulating generally incompetent bureaucrats for their own gain in the name of "national economic policy".

But that's the whole game; the power to set trading limits, licenses, prices, etc, - that's not free trade in any shape or form.

Posted by: weft cut-loop at March 13, 2015 12:03 AM (XvsbD)


There is a difference between free trade and "allowing people to produce on their own terms". Free trade generally refers to import and export industries, where the other refers to what everyone does and isn't necessarily affected by Mercantilism. The vast majority of economic activity still went unregulated and unmanaged, which allowed most people to continue producing on their own terms. Only the import/export industries and government monopolies were directly controlled; the rest were just indirectly affected by trade and tariff policies, most often not even intentionally.

I agree that it was (and remains) an inefficient economic strategy, however.

Verizon uses a radio scheme called CDMA -- Code-Division Multiple Access -- that essentially nobody else uses. Thus, to change from Verizon to any other carrier, you have to change the radio....which is essentially changing the cellphone.

That means that Verizon is the blue in this graph -- http://tinyurl.com/o6xh3d7 -- and competes only with itself in that blue.

The red, however, is GSM (Global System for Mobile [Communications]), which is used by 80% of the world. It allows you to use a South Korean cellphone in Istanbul, or a Taiwanese handset in NYC. There are a lot of competitors, and the competition is cut-throat over features, calling plans, data rates, etc.

There is a good reason why that but for WWII there has been no third or fourth presidential administrations - no one could truly keep up with the enthusiasm or energy needed to defend a presidential administration.

It is almost like that five stages of grief; a two-term presidency goes through: enthusiasm, energy, determination, bewilderment, meh.

You have to see the shit I'm dealing with when it comes to bands. Ok I'm old school. I'm used to doing things like, oh I don't know, LIVE FUCKING PRACTICES. The younger dudes? Forget it, they turned being a musician into a fucking IT/Iphone/PC exercise. This one band that I started playing with that needed serious help with their songs has members fairly younger than me. The dude send me an idea for a song, its on some frigging tab software, which has tabs and written music, and it plays by itself so you can hear it. Cool stuff for learning a tune, but for writing? I go to play it and it sounds like music from a first gen Nintendo game. The dude texts me...texts, forget calling, and asks me what I thought. How about using regular recording software? Nooo, we gotta use all these fucking weird app shit things. I had to download different software just to hear the damn thing because my tab software didn't recognize the shit he sent. I want to play, not work a frigging PC. They don't even call, they just text. Shit man, fuck this planet.

So, the fiancee has been watching "love it or list it", and -- since I don't watch TV, but wander through the room every so often -- it took me the longest time to figure out that the show is filmed in Canada. 'Cause, like, everything looks mostly like the US.

But both the show's regulars and the clients kept saying things like, "you'll really love the next hoose." The first dozen times, I thought I'd just misheard it -- and, like I said, I was just passing through.

My thoughts were, of course: "You want to live here with three kids and no servants? Do you even understand why all of those 19th Century households worked so well? It was hot-and-cold running servants, you dip! This house isn't set for anything but that; if you got kids and if you can - flee!"

Well, they seem to do a bunch of "loves" and a bunch of "lists" -- but I could easily imagine that they were pre-destined on one track or the other.

As far as renovation costs, they vary from region to region across the US -- especially in areas with substantial unionization. So far as I know, however, there isn't a jurisdiction anywhere in which a homeowner can't pick up a brush and slap some paint on a wall. Or dig a hole and plant a shrub.

831 I recall that about six years ago they did one of those extreme house make over things near where I live.* Disrupted traffic and everything. The house ended up looking nice, like nothing around it, of course.

*Lansing, MI; the south end - I rent in townhouses, I don't own here. The house made over, last time I passed by** had an atv/snowmobile trailer in the front yard. Classy.

**To the liquor store that is open later than the closer liquor store. Meh.

The thing is, here in Silicon Valley it comes on just about the time that the fiancee settles in and has dinner -- so she puts it on in the living room. Well, that happens to be the hub of the house.

On the flip side, I'm always eager to steal home improvement ideas from whatever source.....and there are serious, major gaps in my knowledge of construction (see: "freezing; ice; snow load; heating oil").

853 Took my wife's grandson to the Denver University Chamberlin Observatory tonight. The Denver Astronomical Society had a nice seminar tonight, but the skies were too cloudy to use their 20" refractor telescope.
We went down early, wandered around the DU campus and found a place that serves pretty good Philly cheese steak sandwiches.
He's a good kid from a badly broken home and he has some issues. I gave him a nice amateur telescope for Christmas and he's having a good time with it. Somehow, I've become his new best friend. He doesn't socialize much, and can be sullen at times. He doesn't have any friends, but he has pie in the sky ambitions that aren't going to lead him anywhere, at least from my perspective. He's started texting me a lot, so much so that he ran me out of text stuff last month.
I don't have any children of my own, so I'm not sure how or where this is going. I really wish him luck, and I'm quite fond of him and Mrs. Old Blue thinks this is wonderful. He's interacting with someone.
There's more, but I'll leave it at that for right now.

My staff setup a Server 2008 R2 with Exchange and Outlook Web Access. Sure we used encryption and a Goddady certificate. Just to be on the safe side we also used secure IMAP4.

Some Republicans are angry with my deleting of the majority of my emails. So what?

I regard some Republicans as my friends of mine. But, some of them are lazy, crooked and fault finders. Don't listen to them.

Look, I did it all legal. I had Bill hire Sandy Burger who hired a staff of lawyers to skim key words from my emails. The majority were clean - the others we deleted. There is not reason to look at my Server 2008 R2 with Exchange!

Besides the NSA vacuum up all emails like Bill's nostrils to lines of coke. You can just ask the NSA for all of my emails - they must have them.

Posted by: Gentlemen, This is democracy manifest at March 13, 2015 05:59 AM (LWu6U)

1034 I've probably told this story before, but we'll see if it improves with practice.




There was a New Age record label, Windham Hill, that was trying to promote itself.....so they made some compilation videos that featured nature-oriented sights synchronized to their artists' compositions. These had names like "Water's Path", "Western Light", and "Autumn Portrait".



There was much to like about these videos -- the production quality was very good, the music was exceptional, they flowed nicely between the various artists and scenes.



But then we got godkids....and we discovered these vids were magical. We could rev the kids up to a fever pitch and run 'em full tilt all day, then put 'em in front of one of these videos for half-an-hour and they'd all be snoring. Total decompression.



So, we'd have a little game. We referred to them as "the boring movies." We'd fake like we had to run out of the room once we put them on, lest we wake up on the floor next to the kids' bed. We'd give them nicknames, like "water dripping", "sun on rocks", and "leaves falling". Having a little fun with 'em, with just a bit of a nod to their being a quality product.



So, one night, we're up in Sacramento goofing off with the godkid's parents and their next-door neighbor, and we say something about "it'd be great if we could put the kids to bed with some boring movies".




.....and it turns out that the neighbor is a former Vice President of Windham Hill Records, and has some unresolved issues about those damned video compilations going over budget.....




Hey, how about them Dodgers?

Well the cops did raid that house up on that hill, so they must have SOME reason to think the shots came from that area; probably reports of muzzle flash or even video.It was a crowded area of 70 cops all stacked together....still, two hits out of 3-4 shots fired from that distance sure seems unlikely. The rounds were reported to be handgun rounds by the chief of police.Bottom line, I don't know but I have an open mind about it.

1043 Actually, I should back up a bit.



If you have occasional kids (younger than 13, they don't live with you), I can wholeheartedly recommend Windham Hill video compilations for "settling in". You put it on, and tell them to brush their teeth, and they'll hurry back to settle in. They are beautifully shot and the music is first-rate. The visuals are swooping and floating and peering and zooming, in a relaxing and soothing way.

1084 Hiya! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless
I'd figured I'd ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links
or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa?
