18 I have a photograph I took that vaguely resembles this painting. The trees are smaller and more varied with more understory (brush) and not so open and park like and it's more of a panorama roadside view with the road going off into the distance but other than that, exactly like this.

From my reading, the whole agriculture industry seems to be subsidies on top of subsidies on top of price floors and price ceilings on top of government guarantees and "insurance" on top of tariffs... and it seems to have been that way forever.

...yeah?

I wasn't aware that Pataki had any base of support either in or outside of NY.

Just checked wikipedia though, he was never incarcerated for corruption... so that's got to be a plus on his resume, considering he's been hanging out in NY politics for most of his life.

Yes, I think it's a total mess. Drove through Mississippi last year and cotton fields have turned into soybeans, rules have turned catfish ponds into something else, etc...It's artificially screwing with our food supply and it's mostly for stuff you don't want to eat. I think they need to get at it with a weed wacker, one subsidy at a time.

93 On the subject of stupid agri policies that reminds me of the time I was living out in the country next to a large farm. I had a huge field in the area behind my lot filled with feed corn. The owner told me I could pick all I wanted to eat while it was still green because humans could eat it then and it was pretty good.


He said it didn't matter because as soon as it was ripe the local gov agent would come by examine it and he would plow it all under. Then he would get a check from the government.

If she went to HR about this you need to start documenting any non-work stuff she might be doing.

Or maybe she got called to HR for poor performance and she scapegoated you?

Anytime HR is involved emplyees need to document the heck out of everything, imo.

112 Coulter's not always useful but she does get off some good zingers now and then. The excertped snark on Ramos vs. the rest of US media in the sidebar is pretty funny (as usual, in the dark way that much is really funny anymore).

From the Dump, VDH was making his occasional mistake, I think. He simply assumes the US will snap back from the idiocy of the last six years WRT foreign policy.

Uh uh. The Reagan example is completely misleading because the US is (duh) now a very different country. It's populace now marinates in idiocy on all topics, and has raised almost two generations on it, and the default majority worldview and character are completely different than the 1980s.

It's a country that whines like a British union parasite over the slightest difficulty in any war, that will abandon and squander sacrifices of blood and treasure in the blink of an eye, without a clue. Even most of the less beknighted sorts cling to a fanstasy world in which naive fancy footwork and water-cooler "strategy" BS can deliver results, pain-free (this would be "conservative" clueless whiners, well represented in these comment sections). And this leaves aside the state of military leadership. Which is not mostly a problem of the purges of the last six years, it's much worse and deeper.

You haven't seen anything until you've seen a bunch of guys in a machine shop use High Spot Bluing. It's like the stickiest grease you can imagine with blue dye. Comes in a tube.

And since so many things are greasy anyway, after a while you ignore the feeling.

One machine we had used a reticle with a shroud around it like a jeweler's eye loupe. That was always a good place to put it. Second best was on the phone's handset. Handles on machines were great too.

My trick was to swear retribution (which I rarely did) with a wicked grin. It'd drive guys nuts for days, looking and wiping and looking and wiping...

193 On the subject of stupid agri policies that reminds me of the time I was living out in the country next to a large farm. I had a huge field in the area behind my lot filled with feed corn. The owner told me I could pick all I wanted to eat while it was still green because humans could eat it then and it was pretty good.


He said it didn't matter because as soon as it was ripe the local gov agent would come by examine it and he would plow it all under. Then he would get a check from the government.


I wanted to puke.

197 The best prank I've seen was years ago - there was a woman in our office who constantly bemoaned the fact that if she weren't there so much would not get done (and it was true - she was the person who would fix stuff). A guy in IT who liked to tease her about this habit of hers took it to 11: one morning he set up the co. computer system to show a computer graphic upon logging in (this was the late 80's, so it was like an atari game) declaring it "We Love Lisa Day!." In addition to a big ol' banner above her desk, every time she walked by we all gave her a standing ovation. At lunchtime we had a parade through the office (w/balloons and hats) and presented her with a "We Love Lisa!!" cake.

Needless to say, Lisa was grudgingly happy about the attention, but going forward, a lot less whiny about how she did so much.

Not exactly an office prank, but when I played baseball in high school and college a common one was to put Atomic Balm (like Ben-Gay on steroids, causes intense burning sensation, used for sore arms) into another guy's jockstrap. The victim would spend an entire game squirming uncomfortably, as discreetly as possible, while everyone else pissed themselves laughing.

We had a perverted and retarded (due to inbreeding) guy in the fab shop who was known for jerking off in the men's room. He swept the floors when not jerking, and was universally loathed by all the women. He fancied himself a singer and musician though his talent was mostly in his own empty head.

On the lady's birthday I arranged for him to bring his guitar into her office and serenade her for a half hour or so. I never fessed up, but while the abomination was in progress, I noticed she was looking at me with murder in her lovely eyes.

214 My H.R. story happened about 15-16 years ago.

I walked into work one day on a super-hot day and exclaimed to the room "Boy, it's hot out there today!"

Later that afternoon, I was called to H.R. and told that a black special snowflake had complained that I had called him "boy."

I spent the next half hour patiently explaining to the H.R. scrunt that "boy" is an expression and that I had said that phrase to a room of about 50 people, of various races, without looking at anyone in particular.

I ended up promising to never use the word "boy" again on workplace grounds.

Turned out the black special snowflake was laying down a pre-defense over something fireable he had done. So he could play the race card. And he didn't care if an innocent whitey had to go down in order for him to do it.

I grew up on a 300 acre farm. My brother and I also created a vibrant imaginary world on it. One of the old barns was a "prison camp" where were held by alien invaders.

260 Have had a good laugh at all the HR stories of pranking coworkers.

All of this took place in an America long ago and far away.

Every single one of these stories today would get you fired immediately. And possibly a police record and lawsuit. Virtually every company with any person who has HR on their title has become the most uptight, intolerant, female victim driven hellhole you can imagine. Complete with cameras 24/7 and investigators brought in to determine who might be guilty so they can be definitely punished.

We (allegedly) still prank each other pretty regularly in my office.

But, uh, mostly men. Mostly in their 20s and 30s.

And the closest HR rep is a 14 hour drive away at the corporate HQ.

268 Worst thing I ever did to a cube-mate (we had 2-person cubes at the
time) was switch the "m" and "n" keys on her computer while she was on
vacation.




MS Word exposes its objects (?), so it's easy to reprogram a keyboard through use of Visual Basic for Applications. The most fiendish thing is to remap keys on a time-dependent basis, e.g., to switch "m" and "n" only on even numbered minutes, or to change the repeat time for a given key (e.g., to make touching the "r" key produce "rrrrrrrr," or to conversely to make a key dead for a while, so that the victim pounds repeatedly on the keyboard before finally producing "ss," say).

An auger is a tool sort of like a drill used to make a hole in something. If an airplane augers in that means that it hits the ground so hard that it is embedded in the earth and the recovery team will have to dig to get out the instruments and the pilot's body.

Mike,

Amazingly similar accident in the OV-1 for a friend named Jack Crow, a National Guard pilot from Atlanta. His was a 2nd Officer flying B-727's for Eastern, and went to summer camp at Ft. Huachuc, AZ for currency training. He and another EAL pilot went to the O club the night before and consumed a large amount of alcohol.

On first flight departing Huachuc, the left engine failed at approximately 300' and the "widow maker" rolled hard left. Jack continued the roll but realized it was impossible and ejected upside down at approximately 50-80'. Both men were killed upon impact leaving widows and children.

He was a good friend and great guy, but violated one of the basics of aerial flight. His wife had Kate tits, and our mutual friend consoled both her and her tits.

468 If you actually dissect what Sanders says, it's simply marrying something (in his mind) bad, with something warm and fuzzy, feeding children.

There's no connection there. Quite the opposite.

The only way it connects in any way is if money for feeding kids was taken away and sunk into deodorant production, which is moronic, even 180-degrees wrong. Production of items is value.

And it's wage-earning. Kids are fed entirely BECAUSE we have selections and choices in the marketplace, by people who produce the choices, who sell the choices, who distribute the choices.

But he takes what is, to a reactionary mind, a 'sin,' a sign of affluence, and ties it to an 'ill,' ie, hungry children. It's a completely false choice between two completely unconnected things.

In both cases, I expect the men were hesitant to bail. Maybe Anna can put us to some knowledge here, but I don't think the OV-1 had zero/zero seats, so bailing out below some minimum altitude was a death jump. Requires verification.

Should your keyboard situation escalate (hopefully short of MAD) I highly recommend an original IBM PC XT keyboard. The mechanical flappers (designed to sound like an electro-mechanical Selectric) will guarantee quick madness and commitment to an asylum of any annoying person.
If you get one with bad springs it makes a nice twang sound that complements the flapper clatter.
Note: do not attempt to disassemble then reassemble keyboard. It will then drive user mad by keys not workig at radom or eeeeeeenteri g multipleeee caracteeeeers.

512 The folks who pilot Navy ships in and out of most ports are civilians working for the Port.

When they are on board, they "have the Con". (control of maneuvering the ship)

The communicate with tug(s) to aid in the guidance and control of the vessel as most ocean going ships are not nimble enough nor designed for close quarters maneuvers under their own power. (rudders and engine controls make it difficult)

I'm not sure but the Capt of the vessel's career MAY not be at hazard depending on the outcome of the investigation. Although as Captain, he is of course responsible for the operation of the ship, the SOP says he surrenders control to the pilot during entering and exiting a port.

Possible miscommunication with the tug boat caused a too long backing down (ships have NO BRAKES and lots and lots of inertia) or an equipment failure on the tug. Possible wind or tide current may have been a factor.

Given the ships parameters and traffic, there's not as much room to maneuver there as it may appear.
