Overnight Open Thread (5-28-2015) - Slapdash But Legally an ONT Edition
Quote of the Day IV - Yesterday's Leftovers
Well with the help of commenters I was able to finally find it in Tuesday's Morning Jolt.
From an Interview with Gavin McInnes
TC: How do you find your obsession? Then, how do you turn it into a lucrative career?GM: Just watch less TV, I don't know. It's hard to tell people how to live their lives, but just work hard. Find your compulsion and do it, become consumed by it. Charles Bukowski was all about this; he said he didn't even like writing, but he couldn't not write. It's like these kids with Asperger syndrome. They become obsessed with one thing at a certain age. They're looking at dryers and that's it. The only thing they care about for the rest of their life is dryers. They end up working at Maytag or whoever makes dryers because they know everything about them and they love their job. I don't think it matters what your obsession is and it doesn't have to be an Asperger's level of obsession, but if there's enthusiasm, it will work out. Look at Nick Weidenfeld; he took over Comedy Central's Adult Swim because he went to interview the head of it, Mike Lazzo, and Lazzo could sense his enthusiasm. Nick had no experience with television or the entertainment industry, but he got the job because he was obsessed with it and he did well at it, too. Opportunities just come when you blindly tumble through life with your eyes open.
TC: So recklessly and passionately pursue your gut instincts and impulses.
GM: Yeah, and don't complain. I don't have any sympathy for complainers in the Western world in 2012. All this shit about the middle class. "they have no jobs," "they can't pay their bills." I have been creating my own jobs out of thin air for twenty years and I was providing shit to people for free. When I couldn't do that I was planting trees, or teaching English, or traveling the world and staying in squats.
TC: The appetite grows while eating.
GM: Exactly, "If you want something done, ask a busy person." If I email Jimmy Kimmel and ask him a question, there's an answer a few minutes later. Then you ask someone who is unemployed and five days later they say "Oh, sorry for the delay, man, I was very sick."
And here is Gavin in rare form live trolling/dropping truth bombs on Tamara Holder on Hannity:
Hillary Clinton: The Real Alinsky Candidate
As for domestic politics, Saul Alinsky, leftist agitator and author of Rules for Radicals, was Hillary Rodham's mentor. As her faculty adviser recalls, she "read all of Alinsky, and she was able to go and see him."It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Hillary was involved in bringing Alinsky to Wellesley to speak. She also interviewed him for her senior thesis, an analysis of Lyndon Johnson's Community Action Program. Known as CAP, this was an anti-poverty program based on the idea of the federal government circumventing local politicians to some extent, and empowering radical community activists (or community organizers, if you prefer).
Alinsky's thinking had inspired CAP. However, he was highly critical of the program because he thought it did not sufficiently empower the poor.
Hillary Rodham's thesis was under lock and key at Wellesley when Brock wrote his book and, to my knowledge, still is. However, in 1993, she told the Washington Post that "I basically argued that [Alinsky] was right. . . .You know, I've been on this kick for 25 years."
When Hillary Rodham graduated from college in 1969, Alinsky offered her a paid position as a trainee with a new institute he had founded to train activists. Alinsky died in 1972, but his institute would endure, helping to train generations of "community organizers."
Hillary turned down Alinsky's offer, opting instead for law school. In an interview with the Chicago Times, she said she agreed with Alinsky about the need to obtain political power with which to push for more radical change than the Great Society envisaged. However, she questioned whether fighting for such power from outside the system would work. As she put it, Alinsky's approach would not go over well with "the kind of people I grew up with in Park Ridge."
Bernie Sander's Dark Age Economics
Not to be confused with his Dark Age rape fantasies. But he knows why there are hungry children in America. And the reason is too many consumer choices.
Bernie Sanders, the Brooklyn socialist who represents Vermont in the Senate, generated a great deal of mirth on Tuesday when he wondered aloud how it is that a society with 23 kinds of deodorant and 18 kinds of sneakers has hungry children. Setting aside the fact that we must have hundreds of kinds of deodorant and thousands of choices of sneakers, Senator Sanders here communicates a double falsehood: The first falsehood is that the proliferation of choices in consumer goods is correlated with poverty, among children or anybody else, which is flatly at odds with practically all modern human experience. The reality is precisely the opposite: Poverty is worst where consumers have the fewest choices, e.g., in North Korea, the old Soviet Union, the socialist paradise that is modern Venezuela, etc. The second falsehood is that choice in consumer goods represents the loss of resources that might have gone to some other end - that if we had only one kind of sneaker, then there would be more food available for hungry children.
WFB: Mike Judge Isn't Here to Push Your Agenda
Jaime Weinman has a column up at MacLean's looking at the work of Mike Judge (Office Space, King of the Hill) with the headline "Does satire need to be progressive?" He was kind enough to ping me for my thoughts on Judge's political temperament;...This idea that (some!) leftists hold-that only obviously, pedantically leftwing satire is of value-never ceases to amuse me. As if the only humor of worth is that which defends your worldview-that which never makes you question whether or not your preferred priorities are obviously correct. I remember having a hearty laugh at a 2014 essay on Judge's brilliant, reactionary movie Idiocracy. Its title? "Idiocracy is a cruel movie and you should be ashamed for liking it." The nut graf:
We're frustrated by the world, believing that encouraging smarter people to breed would somehow fix our problems. But it simply isn't so. It's a distraction from the institutional problems of our society. The problem isn't that stupid people (again, read: poor) are having too many children. The problem is that we aren't living up to the ideals and promises we've given to each generation of Americans that have come before us. A livable wage, paid maternity leave, proper funding of scientific research - these are the things a functional, civilized society are built upon; the ways that we can improve our world. We don't build a better society by getting more smart people to fuck each other.*
Hear hear! As we all know, the founders jettisoned the Brits and the Greatest Generation stormed Normandy so we could have government-mandated paid maternity leave. This comedian's failure to properly impart that lesson is a real disgrace.
Or, you know, maybe not. Simply put: Mike Judge isn't here to push your agenda. He's here to cast a skeptical eye on your dogma. And I think that's why conservatives love him, even when he's ribbing them.
Citizens Exist Primarily as a Host For Government - Municipal Style
Drive through this working-class suburb filled with 1950s cottages and you will see many edged and weeded lawns. You'll also notice orange sticky notes on the doors - at least one or two per street in many parts of town.They are warnings the city gives to residents who violate local ordinances. And in this community of 3,304 residents, the list of what earns a ticket and fine is long.
Among the things that will be "closely monitored" through the spring and summer, according to a newsletter that recently went out to residents:
Pants worn too low or grass grown too high. Children riding bikes without helmets. Barbecue pits or toys in front yards. Basketball hoops in the streets.
There's no loitering - described in city code as "the concept of spending time idly" or "the colloquial expression 'hanging around.'" And, despite a citywide 20 mph speed limit, there's no playing or walking in the street.
Faye Millet, one of the aldermen who wrote the newsletter, said the ordinances are aimed at safety and quality of life. Pagedale is in the midst of a massive redevelopment effort, aimed at drawing businesses to its main corridors and restoring a population that has fallen off since the 1960s.
"Even I have a letter from the city saying I have to do certain things to my property," she said, pointing out that nobody wants to be surrounded by derelict homes.
But there's more to the story.
Pagedale handed out 2,255 citations for these types of offenses last year - or nearly two per household. That's a nearly 500 percent increase from five years ago, according to an analysis of state court data by the Post-Dispatch.
And yet none of the fines and fees from these offenses count under the Macks Creek Law. The law is the state's one tool for keeping cash-hungry municipalities from relying too much on court fines for revenue.
David French: Put Not Your Faith in Duggars, or Any Other Christian
Josh Duggar's sexual offenses weren't quite the incest they've been made out to be but they were still quite serious and disturbing - and not dealt with properly at all either then or now. By not disclosing them Josh smanaged to screw over both the TV network and the Family Research Council. Not exactly a shining example for anyone else to live by.
If the past 30 years of very public Christian scandals should teach us anything, it's that no one should put their trust in famous Christians. They often can't even get the basics right, much less serve as shining examples of faith lived the right way. In the case of the Duggar family, they hid sexual abuse from everyone but those they most trusted, delayed notifying the authorities for months (and then afterward telling only a close family friend), escaped prosecution only through the expiration of the statute of limitations, and then had the audacity - knowing full well that these events had occurred - to put themselves out to the public as a role-model family. The abuser himself decided to become a leader in the Christian pro-family movement, as the executive director of the Family Research Council.
NYPD Starts Cracking Down on Manspreading
Paper: Awe May Promote Altruistic Behavior
The researchers said they believe that awe induces a feeling of being diminished in the presence of something greater than oneself. It is this diminished sense of self that shifts focus away from an individual's need and toward the greater good, they wrote."When experiencing awe, you may not, egocentrically speaking, feel like you're at the center of the world anymore," Piff said. "By shifting attention toward larger entities and diminishing the emphasis on the individual self, we reasoned that awe would trigger tendencies to engage in pro-social behaviors that may be costly for you but that benefit and help others."
While the findings supported the researchers' initial hypothesis, the scientists were surprised at how consistently different types of awe and different elicitors of awe were able to promote cooperative behavior.

Well, things have slowed down for a bit and I've had time to mull things over, and I've got some ruminations about "Malware and Faust".
I was joking with my neighbor about what I've been going through, and he came up with an odd point that got me thinking -- y'know, you hear about all these things all the time -- but they don't happen nearly as often as you would think. I mean, anybody can google "malware", page down 5000 pages to where the results end with ".ru", and find a "prank your friends" website that has step-by-step instructions (in English) of how to set up and spring a trap.
And while I was considering that, and thinking of the quote, "Gentlemen don't read each other's mail", he laughed and said -- "well, whatever crap he slapped on your machine, he's got to have downloaded ten times worse on his." -- which is, of course, the way everything makes sense.
I was talking with some friends about some of the seedier corners of the internet and what might be found there, and one went -- "I'll check!" I immediately recoiled and said, "not with your own computer -- use the library's or something. There are places on the internet where it's not safe to touch ANYTHING." It's an easy bet that googling "malware", paging down 5000 pages, and finding sites ending with ".ru" written in English, is a very efficient way to get to one.

There's an old nursery rhyme that goes:
"Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.
And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on,
While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on."
Of course, someone writing a keylogger would infest the hell out of the controlling end -- it's a twofer! He gets somebody else to do all his work, risk all the law enforcement and civil costs -- he doesn't have to pay all the international telephone charges or try to sound like an American. He doesn't have to wait on hold 40 minutes, page through listings of financial institutions, or any of these sorts of things.
Because someone else will work for him, for hours and hours, days and days, without pay. And there's a word for someone who will do that, and that word is "slave".

First the PRC declared pretty much the entire South China Sea to be an "inland waterway" of mainland China.
Second, after the United States essentially did nothing in response to this provocation, the pragmatic Chinese have moved to the next step.
Picking tiny atolls, energetically dredging and pouring concrete to make them actual islands with harbors, fortifying the living shit out of them with powerful radar and dangerous missiles, and declaring there to be air/sea exclusion zones surrounding same.

MisHum,
Yeah, we survived but it seemed like we've had rain every day this month. I can't remember the last day it didn't rain.
Went to Blanco today and saw how high the water came up. The river is in flood stage at 10ft and they had a 30ft surge. Up the banks and over the road which is 100-150ft away. I could see all the debris hanging on the wire fence on the other side of the road but I couldn't see how much farther the water went up from the road. It looked like the contents of someone's house was caught in the fence and trees at one point. Today was the first day my friend could get out of her neighborhood because of the low water crossing. It was still about 6-8 inches over the bridge. I could get through in my Tahoe but the car in front of me wouldn't risk it, I had to go around it.

My suspicion is that those construction projects serve two purposes:
1) Provide training. Hundreds of thousands of workers and engineers to construct massive engineering projects would be useful if you need to do things like quickly establish lines of communication west into Central Asia over the mountains, or north into Siberia.
2) Provide areas to move their population to in the event of a war. IIRC, many of the massive ghost cities are inland, protecting them from US attack. Shift your industry there, combined with agreements for key resources out of the Caspian Sea and Central Asian countries, and the Chinese could probably sit back and trade blows with the US for at least a couple of years. Long enough to hold out until the American public gets tired of war.

-Don't tell everyone that "you're gonna do things my way", or act like a General Dick. *coughMikey/Tonycough*
-Don't be afraid to post your opinion and never be afraid to change it or be proven wrong.
-Use socks if your balls haven't dropped. (It took me months to use a "regular nic" and I'm opinionated, but not that bright.)

-Compliment Maet because he really kicks ass on these. And if you find yourself under his microscope there's always a reason.
-You don't need to stay "on topic", but reading the ONT after a good "Social-Dip" is a good idea. It is packed with stuff you missed from various corners of the internet.
-NEVER read before posting. Only noobs and suck-ups do that.*

went -- "I'll check!" I immediately recoiled and said, "not with your
own computer -- use the library's or something. There are places on the
internet where it's not safe to touch ANYTHING." It's an easy bet that
googling "malware", paging down 5000 pages, and finding sites ending

Obviously, if one is doing that sort of "research", the method of choice would be to buy or scrounge a used computer, load with Linux, and search to your heart's content. If you have no personal stuff on that machine, as in zero, zilch, nada, all you risk is the time it takes to format the hard drive and reinstall Linux.

I was talking with some friends about some of the
seedier corners of the internet and what might be found there, and one
went -- "I'll check!" I immediately recoiled and said, "not with your
own computer -- use the library's or something. There are places on the
internet where it's not safe to touch ANYTHING." It's an easy bet that
googling "malware", paging down 5000 pages, and finding sites ending
with ".ru" written in English, is a very efficient way to get to one.

Obviously,
if one is doing that sort of "research", the method of choice would be
to buy or scrounge a used computer, load with Linux, and search to your
heart's content. If you have no personal stuff on that machine, as in
zero, zilch, nada, all you risk is the time it takes to format the hard
drive and reinstall Linux.

The secure VM is launched from an image by a stripped down secure, read-only OS. The network connections are not shared but are mapped directly to each Virtual Machine.
Running VMs is a hard road, just buy a tablet w/o any mount read/write media. Lock down the OS - no updates, changes, etc..

Yea, except he's completely wrong about that. Anyone says that, well, it's pretty obvious that they aren't capable of deep analysis, they're just repeating surface memes to make themselves feel smart.
The flaw in Bush's foreign policy was that it was dependent on Bush having a successor who would continue to act in America's interest. If McCain had been elected in 2008 (or if any of the previous 42 presidents had followed Bush, including Carter), we would have negotiated a SOF agreement with Iraq. A couple tens of thousands of troops would be stationed there. The country would likely be corrupt but stable. The US would have supported the Green Revolution in Iran, and Iran would either have a pro-western government now or the mullahs would be too busy with internal unrest following the complete collapse of their economy because sanctions wouldn't have been lifted to be focusing on nucs. "Isis" would be a CBS Saturday morning rip off of Wonder Woman.
Now, you can criticize Bush for committing to a strategy that relied upon the actions of other beyond his control after he was out of power (and I have. REPEATEDLY), but the ONLY reason that Bush could be considered one of the two worst foreign policy presidents, the only reason, is because of the actions of Obama.
So spare me the revisionism and lets keep the blame squarely where it belongs. The geo-political situation in 2015 is the responsibility of one man, and one man only, and we all know who that is.

The real problem with China is that as much as this is supposed to be some kind of Centrally Controlled Leviathan, nobody is really sure who is really in charge.
The military of China (PLA) does want to pick a fight with the US. The other Party types, finance people, industrial types, think that's crazy. China has come a very long way in 35 years. They don't want to flush it all away.
Wars have a way of going haywire, just when you think it's all going according to plan. China is arming, in sort of a half assed way (buying some Russian junk and old designs).
They have a tremendous industrial base now, but they can't quite commandeer it all to server the military, without the financial house of cards collapsing due to loss of export revenue.
And a handful of fast attack subs from the US could wreck the exports and imports (oil) that they need to keep the country going. They are much more vulnerable than you might think.

Launders sock. Yeah, you could boot a machine with no HD off the DVD. But, in the end, does it matter? If your machine is purpose-built to surf the darker corners of the Internet, the main thing is for it to be "disposable". Wipe and boot off the DVD doesn't take much longer than simply booting off the DVD.

You're thinking of this rationally. The thing is that they aren't. It's like Hitler attacking at the Battle of the Bulge in WW2. The allies weren't worried about it because it wasn't the rational thing to do, so they didn't do their homework and actively ignored the warning signs that did occur, and didn't prepare hardly any defense. What they forgot was that they weren't dealing with a rational opponent.

I am careful in how I use the Internet.
I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see git://git.gnu.org/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it (using konqueror, which won't fetch from other sites in such a situation).
I occasionally also browse using IceCat via Tor. I think that is enough to prevent my browsing from being connected with me, since I don't identify myself to the sites I visit.
I never pay for anything on the Web. Anything on the net that requires payment, I don't do. (I made an exception for the fees for the stallman.org domain, since that is connected with me anyway.)
I would not mind paying for a copy of an e-book or music recording on the Internet if I could do so anonymously, and it were ethical in other ways (no DRM or EULA). But that option almost never exists. I keep looking for ways to make it happen.

That sounds very close to exactly what I'm thinking.....but let me better describe the bunker in Casa de Cthulhu. All major computers are offline and cold; one machine out at forensics; router has been replaced twice. 2/3 of switches offline; this particular computer runs off a 5e cable down the hallway and is an $80 beater from Weird Stuff Warehouse. Every computer ever "friends" with a known compromised computer is scheduled for evaluation once the forensic report comes back.....and, on the soft side, 3 email addresses on one domain shuttered; 1 address on owned domain nuked; one entirely synthetic personality on public domain pressed to end of resets....
So, hold that thought -- it sounds really good for the rebuild.

Iraq's corruption would force America to siphon ever more funds over that way just to keep it alive. And the Bush / McCain Republicans would make more deals at home in order to keep that money flowing overseas.

Disagree. Every country in the Middle East is corrupt. (actually, every country (every government)in the world is corrupt, including ours. That's humanity for you.). We can work with corrupt governments for generations. Hell, we do, it's called "diplomacy". If the Green Revolution checkmates Iran out of the picture, then Iraq corruption has no outside driving force focused on destabilizing the country, and we're just dealing with "normal" corruption.

VMWare Server is a free program, that you load first on a computer....
Its built as an underlying system that other window programs run on top of, allowing you to 'host' multiple virtual computers, on a single set of hardware.
You still have to have the licenses for the OS's (windows usually)... which run on top of VM Ware.... but you can start or kill a Virtual Machine very quickly...
There are other VM ware products out there that cost north of $4K.... but we still use VMware server in production environments (even though it is no longer 'supported')...

He has allegedly agreed to jail time in exchange for his underlying misconduct not being recited in the indictment
The person Hastert was paying has known Hastert all the persons life. The person is from the same town Hastert taught in.
The payments were initiated at around the time the Sandusky story was all over the news
Also note, Hastert took some flak in the Mark Foley case. If you recall, Foley was soliciting interns for sex via inappropriate texts. It was alleged Hastert knew Rep Mark Foley was hitting on pages and interns and did not immediately remove him from his position on the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children.

Pakistan is a client state of China, and a useful dog to keep India in line. If India and China went to war, the Pakistanis would threaten India's flank. Far better to sit out any conflict.
Russia won't get involved because the Chinese could easily put an army in Siberia and the Russians would be hard-pressed to force their way across and retake it.
The Chinese have been spending billions developing their interests in Central Asia, to the point where they have enormous influence as well as access to the minerals and natural reserves there.
In essence, their north, south, west, and northeastern borders are secure. All that they have to worry about is facing the US in the ocean. That might be a gamble that they're willing to take.

Proposal. All politicians must serve 2 months jail time for every year served in Congressafter 10 years of "service"or when they leave office. Whichever comes first. This time served in jail can go towards "time served" in whatever crimes they wind up being found guilty of committing, because you know that they are.

clone your current hard drive to it. Cloning software is free all over and recognized error free.
Disconnect new hard drive.
Enjoy.
if Fatal event occurs then shut off machine, reconnect newly cloned hard drive (must reclone periodically to remain current and use a backup software to store partition backups with increments) switch cables so new drive is main drive.
Reboot. You now are running a clean copy (you did make sure you cleaned your original HD before cloning didn't you?) of your entire operating setup including your clean boot sector (where a lot of bad stuff will try to change so as to take control during boot up).
Then you proceed to clone your currently clean HD to the original HD using said cloning software, thus wiping any bad stuff off.
Redo as necessary.
Virtual machines can still be a problem as your system could be vulnerable whereas a cloned HD that is not connected and running is impossible to infect.

Notice that there will be two militia groups providing security in addition to the "bikers". I wonder if anyone in the militia is named John Parker*? That's not an uncommon name. It should be easy to find a John Parker.
*John Parker was the leader of the colonial militia at Lexington. His famous for the quote "Stand your ground. Don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here." I think that is an Appropriate sentiment for a free speech rally outside an American mosque in 2015, don't you?

Remember how WWI and the aftermath nicely set up the board for WWII. That's what we've done with ME and the whole damned world. And this time, lots of players got nukes. Thermonukes. And the MAD premise that no side is crazy enough to start that Doomsday cascade doesn't apply. ISIS is certainly crazy enough. Iran is too.
And here domestically we are destroying our own fucking culture. There's going to have be a lot of dying and destroying to clean up this fucking mess we've made. And this LIV millennial generation ain't up to WWII generation standards. By a long shot.
We are fucked. The shit storm that is coming is going to be Biblical in proportion. I am going to see another nuke go off in anger, of that I'm sure. And maybe lots more than one.
Hope this helps....

I used to smoke it all the time and what they say is true. It absolutely saps motivation and promotes laziness.
I save whatever 'bud' I get for another three-day weekend when I have NO obligations.
Sometimes, it lasts me until the next year and people are fucking amazed.
"You gave this to me last year.", is always followed by, "NO WAY!"
I never smoked during school and I've always been disciplined with it because I HATE lazy people. Not procrastinators, per se, but the perpetually lazy.
When a three-day weekend hit, "back in the day"-? I was a popular SOB! I'd smoke that 'quarter' in a night!
Weed was a "sharing" thing, but coke was a dickish, selfish, asinine, piece-of-shit drug. I hated the people in its 'circle'. Weed is more social.

It seriously reminds me of 2007.
Me and my joes had to recover Bradleys because stoopid scouts thought they could float across flooded creeks. Not to mention I had to spend nights at the company AO because all the routes to my home, on post, were flooded.
Ft Hood has shitty drainage.
So many creeks.

on the top floor, and I was thisclose to seeking shelter in my bathtub
with a mattress over me on Memorial Day after seeing a funnel cloud
almost form on top of me.
Posted by: SMFH at it all at May 29, 2015 02:41 AM (OsWis)
I saw a funnel cloud trying to form one time, during a big T-storm near Grande Prairie, Alberta. It sort of peeled off from the base of the thunderhead, and waved around, but never dropped far below horizontal, so a long way from touching down. Then it just dissipated. I got pictures, but they aren't very dramatic.
You know, driving through SW Louisiana, I saw a lot of houses built on stilts. Sounds like it would be a sound idea for anyone in low-lying country at risk of floodwater to emulate.

So I was standing on the front porch watching some lightning far off but moving in. Dog came up -- he was hiding, but I don't know, wanted to be next to me.
A couple of minutes later there was blinding flash of white light and my eardrums felt like they had been punctured. I don't know if I really saw or heard anything really. Just the flash blindness and deafness afterwards. The dog jumped up on me and knocked me over.
THe strike wasn't all that close, a couple of hundred yards away, on nice pine tree in the woods across the front lawn.
I used to enjoy watching lightning. I head in the house now.

Someone else packs/rolls one and I just pass it.
Maybe an hour later, I'll take a second hit.
What I tell people, (and I am truthful), is that it "takes my words away". As the beers slowly degrade my acumen, weed BLUNTS it immediately.
...no pun intended. And I won't smoke cigar-leaf weed, as it masks the flavor. It is also unnecessarily harsh.
When I'm telling a story, I hate saying... "uhhh... you know. That guy who did that thing in that movie with the thing and shit."
It is bad enough that I am forgetting Major League baseball players' names because I am getting older.
I don't need to halt the flow of a good story, unnecessarily because I'm 'Rolling in my Bakery'.
I'd like a certain tone, cadence and flow when I'm telling a story. I'm certainly no Vin Scully, but when I'm weaving a tale, I'd like to actually make a point at the end of the story.
Too much weed stunts the process, and while that is the point of the bud, I'd like to remain "deadpan" while everyone else is "silly".
I'm not sure what that last paragraph means to anyone else, but it makes sense to me.
Oh... and I'm talking about idiots in their Forties doing this shit.*
*- Please note that these idiots have been lifelong friends.
It is also helpful to have a fire pit during these irresponsible times. Nothing better than staring at a fire while listening to Tunes of Yesteryear and having no idea what to say.

You are standing outside, and you happen to have the good fortune to hear some hissing and notice some corona appearing on some tall spikey objects around you (like a tree, pole). What do you do? Do you sit there and say hey, this is cool? Or do you run like hell, and away from the tall spikey objects with the corona.
#2 you are standing outside in a flat area and you happen to be the tallest object. You notice the hair on your arms and perhaps head is beginning to stand up. You may hear some hissing, maybe a wee bit of corona around your own ass.
Do you run like hell (in any direction, doesn't matter). Or do you fall down on the ground and maybe try to roll away as fast as you can.
(there really is no good answer for #2 here....)

[the idiot explanation about "not completely grounded" is absolute horseshit. This is chaotic stuff.
Some cases with high voltage distribution lines (7200V to ground in the neck of the woods, some 14.4kV to ground). One guy happens to hit the 7200V, makes a nice flash with 3rd degree burns (too long to explain all the details). He lives. Other people have lived with 10kVs lines, higher.
One guy, messing with some irrigation pipe (20' aluminum pipe on back of truck) hits 7200V phase out in a field. He just keels over, dead when the paramedics got there. Nobody knew what happened -- there were a couple of other guys around. Didn't see the slightest flash. He was dead with a nice grimace on his face. Joker-like. Investigators figured it by noticing the slightest arc pockmark on the aluminum pipe.
Live or die depends on a whole host of chaotic variables.

Oddly enough water wasn't too bad here in my crappy little area of Houston/Pasadena/Webster, even the entrance to my work that normal is two feet deep with the slightest bit of rain for once, did not fill up. I've managed to make it thru my childhood home flooding in 1979 with Tropical Storm Claudette which dumped 40 some odd inches in 24 hours, same house flooding with Allison in 2000, and riding out Ike across the street from NASA@Ellington Field so my butt starts to pucker anytime we get deluged like that. I also dodged being in New Orleans when Katrina hit because a bachelor party got moved up by a week, would have been stuck in the Quarter for a while if the schedule hadn't changed.

Holed up at a local Motel 6 for the night. Let boss know I'd be late (by which I mean not fucking there) tomorrow.

Yeah... I've jumped the shark.
I've been more interested in planning my Fantasy Baseball team and making salsa for this weekend.
I will NEVER post about my own fantasy baseball team, because if you do that? You're an idiot. There are sites for that.
NOBODY cares about your Fantasy Baseball team.
The salsa, on the other hand is another matter. I use Roma tomatoes because they are "meatier", with less gelatinous goo than other tomatoes.
I also like an array of peppers that "splash" every part of the palette. (Green, red, orange, yellow)
Red, white, (Spanish), and Vidalia onions are chopped, (diced), finely alongside the peppers.
That is the start of a quality "pico de gallo".
I then use a couple-a jalapenos and some pickled jalapenos. Just for the "hot-sweet" factor.
Add a whole poblano and you're nearly finished.
-Salt
-Pepper
-Cayenne Pepper
-Ortega Taco Sauce, (co-mingler)
-Cholula brand hot sauce...
...screw you, weft cut-loop. That's fucking quality sauce.
-On The Side:
-Diced Thai Chilies
-Diced Habaneros
-Dave's Insanity Sauce
Add your own "runner's high", you hiccup-proof Morons.
Cook nothing. Roast nothing. Poach nothing.
*enjoy!*

Milt, uh no. I am trying to keep the tone of the stories light. So you might want to search for The Fish Bone by Akira Ooyama. And may the Divine Being of the Universe have pity on your soul if you do find it. Just thinking about that story is making me reach for the Lethe Water.

Wait wasn't that like a week or two ago, isn't that "old news" by now? Oh wait I forgot expirations like that don't apply to certain people.
I have to say though I didn't even know who that person was or that the my 19 kids show or whatever even existed. Popular show? I did find it sort of funny he was outed by a state-trooper doing 50 years for CP though. I also didn't know and had to ask here who that guy was that was changing to a female was, the one that got in that car accident... already forgot his name, cause that how important such information was too me.

I do watch one called Gold Rush and also still catch episodes of deadliest catch, the later less about seeing anything particularly new and more about just wanting to see a certain person who's not even in the show but related get their shit together.

Watching that one kid talking to his Mom after his Sister died was fucking heartbreaking.
She was a handicapped girl and I cannot remember her ailment. God help me.
As he was talking with his Mother, he says, "She's in a better place now, Mom. She can run now. She always wanted to run."
I avoid that episode now, because I don't need any reminder of loved-ones lost.
That episode always got me.

Or some newer site like it (that one comes to mind as I worked at QP for some time, well before 3ds bought them out). You upload stl or fdm or whatever file, pick materials and it'll quote what i'll take to produce one for you. I can't imagine it would be too much these days. eh then again it was just a spitballing idea.

I wanted to say that this: "it's that no one should put their trust in famous Christians." Is of course correct. Your faith shouldn't be in people (especially not anyone on a reality show). Faith should be for god not man.

You should have seen what I have seen since looking through the old Allied Radio catalogs from the 60s and now. Also the old color TVs in the shop where I used to work.
Back then an RCA round tube TV cost around $750 and we were lucky if we didn't have to work on it before we sold it. You can get a much more reliable flat screen for 1/4 of that now.

As for the stuff with Josh, I actually read the posted police report & it's ridiculous. The kid was 14-15 at the time, and even though it was reported "over a period of months", it seems as though there were 6 incidents involving 5 girls that were inappropriate, yes, but only "molestation" in the most strict sense of the word. I mean, no indication besides one incident where he tried to reach up a girl's skirt, that there was anything else that happened under clothes. In one case, the girl "molested" didn't even realize that anything more than he was tugging on the blanket she was napping under! All this moaning about "it wasn't dealt with properly" - well, however it was dealt with, his parents got him to stop the behavior. By the time somebody reported this out of "concern", they were in Chicago taping for the Oprah show, and the "concerned person", not only had they contacted the police (for something that they heard happened 3-4 years earlier) but there were hysterical emails sent to Harpo studios urging them to pull the segment with Oprah, which Harpo did. I'm not defending Josh in the sense that I think what he did was right, because it wasn't, but that there have been a lot of people trying to harpoon that family's success for a long time, and throwing around accusations of "sexual misconduct" or "sexual molestation" is just one way of doing that.
