Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (9/27/16) [Mis. Hum.]
Two-For Tuesday Edition
Two-For Journalists
Since you've been good little 'rons & ettes..............No Yoko.
Two-For Models
One is a zombie, and the other well, a fiancee of a MLB player.
Two-For Artists, Paint & Music
Music by David Bowie.
Paintings by Bowie.
Music by Captain Beefheart
Paintings by Beefheart.
Two artists who are no longer with us. A zombie theme?
Two-For Self Improvement
Breast size enhancement through hypnosis?
The first step to improvement. Are you a jerk?
Two-For Government Ineptitude and Down Right Incompetence
Meet the little brown shirts. Thank you Nanny State.
For example, students from Park High School’s SLAC in Livingston created signage for the school cafeteria to promote fruit selection,” the post continued. “This included a life-size poster of the basketball coach giving out an apple with the caption ‘Got fruit? Tastes almost as good as victory.Have a Medium Rare cheeseburger and be a champ. None of this almost shit.
If these bombers had been white like Timothy McVeigh, we never would have heard the end of it.
Two-For Men
3 types of men.
There are three kinds of men. The very few who learn by reading. The several who learn by observation. The rest of them need to pee on the electric fence to find out for themselves.
Divorce lawyers hardest hit.
Two-For Foreign Stuff
Canadian $$$$$$.
Ordering beer in a foreign land.
Two-For Thoughts on Athletes MLB lost an All-Star this past weekend. An older story about Jose Fernandez from 2013. He had dreams. Big dreams.
Fernández, who turns 21 on July 31, said he will never forget the day he boarded a boat for his fourth attempt in 2008 to flee Cuba. He and his family were determined to leave at all cost to reunite with Jiménez, who had left in 2005 after making 14 attempts. During that journey something happened that left a mark on Fernández for the rest of his life. After escaping flying bullets from Cuban coast guard boats, and later in the solitude of the ocean on their way to Mexico, somebody said that a person had fallen in the water. Fernández did not hesitate and jumped in. When he finally had the fallen person in his arms he was shocked to realize that he had just saved his own mother, Maritza.
The 2nd thought. F*CK YOU Colin Kaepernick you ungrateful ignorant spoiled brat.
Two-For Government Punishments
You can't make this sh!t up. Who knew solar was dirty?
The department states the settlement money will include research and community outreach. Why aren't rate payers given a break?
Police Departments have to stop making unforced errors.
Two-For ISIS We’re not mentally ready to accept that we are at war with Islam.
The J.V. Team certainly knows how to plan.
Two-For Music
Ever wonder why new music is released on Friday?
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.
Two-For Global Warming
Global temperatures for the past 2 million years. Yes, it appears they used the S.W.A.G. method.
"This assumes that all of the temperature change over the ice-age cycles arose from the greenhouse-gas change," Alley told Ars. "But, we have high confidence that the ice ages were driven by features of Earth’s orbit and that the temperature would have changed (just not as much) if the greenhouse-gas forcing had not changed." Alley went on to say that "the 'sensitivity' calculated in the new paper is an upper limit, because we know that some of the temperature change was not caused by greenhouse gases."
Climate change caused migration out of Africa?Wonder what industry caused that to happen?
Two-For Genius Awards
Genius Award. Part I.
Genius Award. Part II.
Two-For Feel Good Stories of The Day
Feel good story of the day. Part I.
Feel good story of the day. Part II.
Do you like a challenge? Here is one, The Group.

Asking for reparations because of something that happened to your great great great grandparent is sort if like demanding an inheritance. And that would have been passed down through each generation.And as we know, every time money is inherited, it gets taxed.
So figure on whatever amount it is being taxed at least 5 times.
You'd be lucky not to end up owing reparations to the IRS

Some of his music I listen to even today, but some I'll never listen to again. He had hits and misses. Young Americans was one of those songs I hated but a pool hall I went to back then had it on the jukebox and even today I can remember all the words. Still listen to Panic in Detroit every couple weeks on You Tube.

Hat, I have a fun U of Iowa story for you. ANG Lt Col F-I-L was in charge of securing things in Iowa after 9/11, and obviously, one of his top priorities was bioterrorism. U of I had some things he wanted to secure (but not nearly as many as ISU *shudder*), so he sent guards to the lab. Some hippy-dippy professor started screeching about the militarization of campus, routinely tried to get in after hours and offered her students extra credit for joining in her illegal entries. I am not entirely sure how my F-I-L got her to stop, but apparently it got epic and he had to go over her head.
Posted by: pookysgirl at September 27, 2016 11:09 PM (ar2KI)
like then one day the hippie prof broke into the lab by going through the ventilation shaft and dropped into the wrong lab. instead of her weaponized dope lab she landed into the middle of a bunch of rabid baboons being used for viagra research. hilarity ensued. fucking hippies

It's like McCartney to Lennon. Yeah, left to his own, it's mostly pablum, but for whatever reason, without McCartney, Lennon just got lost in his own genius.
Hart/Mould is close enough to that.
I got tired of D. Boon's voice, and the sneering leftism after a while. Sorry he died and all that, but it's been years since I bothered.
I saw Mike Watt's new band live some years ago. They weren't bad, but nah. It was just over by then.

When I saw them live, it was a very nice venue, and they came in wearing their lumberjack shirts... I think the album they released was called Flying the Flannel...
It was good. Fun set. Maybe 100 people in the building. It was, for me at least, the end of something. Roughly the same time period I was getting married. Starting a family. It seems like a lifetime ago.

Space Oddity
Ziggy Stardust
Starman
Blackstar
This is just a few songs of very diverse styles spanning almost 50 years.
And remember, he was still creating right up to the end. Blackstar, recorded while he was dying of cancer and released two days before his death is a near-masterpiece.
He lived a full life and died well......

It's the damn heels; they'll destroy feet eventually. I've seen it in the family with some of my aunts. There were a couple who were real prissy, had to be dressed to the nines all the time and wore heels all the damn time. They weren't even all that ridiculous stripper high either. As they got older, their feet were just awful. Deformed and just a mess.

David Bowie or Tom Petty?
Petty by default. He's written some great songs and put out some terrific albums, but he wasn't an innovator like Bowie , who created, inspired or popularized entire genres of music. Bands took their entire sounds off of one Bowie album or song. Not everything he did was great. In fact he put out a few nearly unlisten-able albums, but it doesn't matter. His music was always interesting.
His paintings? Not so much.

There is a reason why companies should make employees take at least one full week of vacation a year, any employee embezeling from the company will have their house of cards fall on them.
Greenspan gave us the commercial real estate bubble of the early 90's. As a Realtor I say "fuck you very much" for that because that gave us a continuing education requirement of 16 hours per licensing period.
Not to be outdone, he gave us the "dotcom" bubble of the late 90's which gave us false hope of paying down the deficit while spending like drunken sailors.
When that bubble burst, he decided to pump up the residential housing market. Giving loans to people for a house that cost ten times their yearly income is not a good idea.

Masa harina is just instant corn tortilla flour. I think I paid $2 for a big 4 lb bag. Just add water to make tortilla dough.
I don't have a tortilla press -yet - so they came out a little thick. And a little dry/crumbly. But WAY tastier than the stale store bought discs.
Seems it would benefit from a little fat added in (crisco?), but I followed the directions.
If I can't find a tortilla press at one of the local thrift stores, I'll be hillbilly engineering one together some time this week.

Good ONT, Mis Hum.
I didn't know Fernandez saved his own mother. She must be crushed.
Somebody said in an earlier thread that they were tired of the Fernandez memorials throughout MLB this week because Fernandez had been dumb enough to crash his speedboat into a jetty.
Tell me, did you ever do anything dumb and reckless in your teens or early 20's? Something that could have cost you your life - but didn't? I did - I hitchhiked with my girlfriends. We were damned lucky some Ted Bundy character didn't pick us up.
Fernandez saved his mom, endured danger to come to America and live his dream and he loved this country, becoming a proud US citizen.
MLB can honor him as much as they want. His memory is worthy of such honor.

For example. Take a woman well dressed and have her pretend to doing man on the street interviews. Men would agree to participate only 60ish% of the time for a woman in flats. In high heels, 90%+ of the time.
"Helping" behavior they call it, also increases. In heels, she'll get doors opened and all that stuff much more than in flat shoes.
Oh, and a women in heels will be approached in a singles bars in half the time, on average as a woman in flats. Take the same woman, dressed the same otherwise. In heels, a man will come up and hit on her in half the time as in flat shoes.
And, we're more likely to believe a woman in heels. If a woman is selling something, we'll buy her pitch much more than a woman in flats.
This effect is only with us men. It has zero effect on other women.

Something in the air today.
First a regular at the gym collapses with a seizure during the weight/cardio class. (apparently he was OK insofar as the EMTs decided he was not in danger and moved him out but not in an emergency rush)
Then the next-door neighbor calls to tell me there's a 5-foot rattler in his backyard. "Discovered" by his beautiful little 6-yr old daughter walking by it - and screaming. (fortunately his beautiful smallish white English labrador didn't "discover" it first)
Neighbor killed it with a shovel, and thoughtfully asked me if I wanted it for grilling. Declined, but noted the last rattler I knew of killed hereabouts, when I was in 6th grade, by my brother with home-made snakeload out of his Ruger .357 Blackhawk, actually did get grilled up (yes, tasted like chicken).
Kinda sad to hear there's one less rat-eater, though. Haven't seen any snake for 6 years, or a rattler for 30, and they're the best rat-control nature ever devised.

Chi, for tortillas it's just add water to the instant masa, I think. Proportions matter, where you are shouldn't be too tough to keep the moistness right as you press out the tortillas, other climates you need to cover the bowl with a wet towl.
For tamales it's lard and masa, again a question of proportions til you get the consistency you're desiring.
Been years since I've done either. Did tamales from scratch several times, they were very good, but not even close to being good "enough" to justify the hours and hours of work. Living in occupied Mexico as I do, doing my own tortillas would be silly. Actually the uncooked flour tortillas available in stores, that you finish on a hot skillet, are very good. And around here you can get stacks of uncooked corn ones too, finish 'em the same way.

The system BIOS thinks that its five SATA drives are SATA0, SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, and SATA4. These are then mapped to /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, etc.
So, I got errors on sdc and sdd, went to the drives marked SATA3 and SATA4, and changed 'em out. Got weirder errors on more drives, and changed those out.
Thing is, the cable and bay for SATA0 were being used by the BIOS and motherboard's SATA1, 'cause I'd slipped my SSD into SATA0 to boot from. The cable and bay for SATA1 was being occupied by the second spinning hard disk, SATA2.
I had gotten so involved with stuffing all the goodies into this box that I'd forgotten the basics. So, tomorrow, it's tear it all apart and rebuild -- and all the drives I thought were bad are probably good, and the ones I thought were good are probably bad.

Chi I assume you use wax paper and one of those aluminum tortilla presses? They're cheap and easy to use, and yes every batch is just messing with the moistness level til you get it just right. I suppose after some time you'd get to know it right away, but I never made them frequently.
And keena, well for sure, one thing I always figured was likely with a tee-totalling (and also caffeine-free?) monomaniacal type like T-Rump is coke use. Right. Obviously.
And the clincher is that sniffles have only one possible cause. But you knew that.

One of the things about flour and water (like pasta) is that it has to be worked a specific amount for the gluten to start making it plastic and malleable. All the funky shapes of pasta arise from this -- but if you make pasta by hand, you know that it ain't doin' no fancy shapes before you run it through the rollers a half-dozen times. And you can feel when it makes the transition.
I'd guess you could do just about anything to press the tortillas (bottom of a skillet on a cutting board?), but only after the dough has been worked.

It's common sense that when two lanes are narrowing into one, the one with arrows on it is the one doing the merging. When your lane is merging, it means that you yield to traffic already in the lane, which has the right of way. It does not mean stomp the gas to try to get around them, when there's not enough room to do so.

This is just statistical. You know look at how a sample of men behave to women in flats vs heels and note the statistical differences.
If you want to do a little experiment, try heels vs no. Dress the same otherwise, and see what the general behavior is with heels vs not.

Two commoners are standing around gabbing, and one says, "I've always wondered -- people from Italy are Italians; people from Spain are Spaniards; people from England are English.....so what should citizens of the Kingdom of Id be called?"
Just then, a soldier passing by points out a "keep off the grass" sign, and shouts: "keep on the #$@%^ path, you idiots!!!!!"
And the commoner who was speaking says, "never mind."
So, the tl;dr version of @474 is: "I'm an idiot."

This is just statistical. You know look at how a sample of men behave to women in flats vs heels and note the statistical differences.
If you want to do a little experiment, try heels vs no. Dress the same otherwise, and see what the general behavior is with heels vs not.
I'll bet a few quatloos you'll notice a difference.

Chi I assume you use wax paper and one of those aluminum tortilla presses? They're cheap and easy to use....

Nope, I stated that I don't have one yet. I just used a pyrex pie dish on the big maple cutting board. And saran wrap.
And as cthulhu noted, perhaps I didn't "work"it enough?
That's why I'm here asking you Morons!
I haven't found a press yet. I know that I can probably get one at walmarket, or $15 on amazon, but I'm a hard headed redneck.
If I can't pick one up for $3 at a nearby thrift store, I'll piece one together with scrap materials I have around the house/garages. I already have a couple ideas in mind...

--------------------An interesting factoid that I ran across was that West Germany declared in the 1980's that it had finally rebuilt from the devastation of WWII, nearly forty years after the end of WWII. East Germany/East Berlin lacked that rebuilding process by twenty or thirty years. The Soviets did them no favors. Other than creating the Stasi, who were just as bad as the Gestapo and SS.

Fenelon, that's a good find. There were a handful of courageous bishops who boldly challenged the Nazis - at least on a few of their outrages. Sadly not so much, or at least not as boldly, on others (such as the anti-semitic policies inside Germany, or Germany's expansionist war at least up to Barbarossa).
In fact the radical and energized Nazi local/regional officials often got way ahead of Hitler, who clearly preferred to wait until the war was won or close to it to smash the Church, which he fully intended to do. During the war he feared the effect on morale, esp. in Bavaria.
Just after Hitler had attacked Russia he had to rein in the Bavarian gauleiter after he had provoked an uproar by having crosses removed from schools. The decision was reversed.

Dang, Chi, you're talking to someone here who makes a game of economizing/improvising on many things, for example reloading, and takes it to extremes. But an aluminum tortilla press can't be $20, and is vastly better than the improvised substitutes.
You're in central VA, right, Hampton/No-f**k area, something like that?
Unlike 20 years ago, as I don't need to tell you, you can assuredly find a community of messicans not far away, along with the trimmings (i.e. stores selling cheap-ass aluminum tortilla presses).

She also used to make tamales a few times a year. Those were a pain in the ass to make. I shoulda married that woman!!

Dress shoes and job interviews:
A lifetime ago, I ran retail stores. I was hiring for my Richmond location, and Bruce came in. I liked him. Great candidate (he didn't know that I wanted a replacement for me, as the company was growing bigly).
I brought him back for 3 face-to-face interviews, the last being to offer him the job.
Fast forward a few months, and we had become best friends. I mean Best. Friends. (Guarandamntee that I could call him at 3 AM. & say "shovel. Lime. Now. - he would've been at my house in an hour with a shovel & zero questions)
Anyway, one day we were kayaking the James river, drunk and floating, pretending to fish, when he starts cussing me out about making him drive an hour to his Dad's house to borrow the family shoes THREE FUCKING TIMES for those job interviews.
He, his two brothers, and his Dad all shared one pair of black leather shoes. The Family Shoes. How did they go to church? ??
I think he was even more pissed when I told him he could've walked in the door barefoot and I would've hired him.
BTW, If you ever visited Kings Dominion in Virginia between, say, 1980 & 2000, and met Barney Rubble - you met Bruce.

The areas around the platzes were kept very clean, with large expanses of tiled common areas, nice hotels, big wide streets (but no cars) some restaurants, etc. The rest of E. Berlin was a wasteland of old dilapidated buildings and Soviet style apartment dwellings. You could see it all once you got more than a few stories up.
On our tour coach we started to notice that we were passing the same buildings but on different sides. They were driving us in circles to give the appearance that the nice areas were much larger than the reality.
It was a grey, dismal place.

Crap, forgot to mention the best thing.
When trains pull into stations in other parts of Europe there is general mayhem as people get off quickly, pass luggage out the windows, etc.
As the train got close to the station it passed many buildings on both sides, all of which were riddled with bullet impact marks, holes from artillery and tank shells, etc. Some of it just rubble. When we got to the station there were men in military uniform holding leashed German shepherd dogs, all standing rigid at attention. Even the dogs. No one on the train moved, not sure if it was okay to disembark.

The first time I saw her was on the big screen with my GF, who wanted to see Beautiful Girls. As I said me and Miss Portman are the same age. She hooked me in that movie in a very cute innocent sort of way.
I remember thinking that this girl was going to be gorgeous drop dead when she was older and she was and is like my ex GF, the one I should have married and had kids with.

That's most true. They're not reacting to the shoes themselves (but fetishizing high heels and women's shoes in general is a thing, but that's not what's going on here), but what the shoes do.
It's not just legs, but posture as well and the walk and all that. It sends stronger "I'm sexual" signals to men. They enhance things our low level circuits get excited by.

There's a great video on YT showing how that massive wall of sound was put together. Producer Tony Visconti used an early form of gating - gated vocals. A few years later, gated drums would be all the rage. Then, Visconti had Robert Fripp's guitar and Brian Eno's synth grow louder and louder and louder, till Bowie was practically screaming at the end just to be heard over the din. It worked. Probably his best, most emotional vocal ever.
Scary Monsters is my favorite Bowie album, song-for-song. Since his death I've discovered the wonderful 1. Outside album, which is somewhat "arty" and "difficult" but just filled with incredible stuff. The Buddha of Suburbia is great too, reminding me of Low and Heroes (the album) in its mix of songs and evocative instrumentals.
What a career. And to top it all off, he stayed out of politics and just shut up and sang. My kinda artist.

Good Morning Morons. Today is Wednesday, September 28, 2016. On this day in 1951 CBS made the first color televisions available for sale to the general public, but the product was discontinued less than a month later. It was doomed to failure by two things, it was a complicated and expensive system in which few affiliates wanted to spend money adopt and government interference. The government halted its production and promotion "temporarily" due to the Korean War. In 1951 we were still feeling the effects of the FDR dictatorship.

If these bombers had been white like Timothy McVeigh, we never would have heard the end of it.
Probably so, but that is only because the MFM has been successful in classifying McVeigh as a "right wing radical evil Christian Conservative". You hardily ever hear mentioned that when his car was taken it was full of Neo-Nazi literature marking him, if not a member, at least a supporter of the Nazi movement. But, of course then the MFM and the Dems (BIRM) have always maintained that the Nazis were a fascist "right wing" organization. Yes they were Fascists but were definitely not right wing as it applies to the US. The Nazis were a socialist party and that is even included in their very name. In American politics socialism is far left and usually used by liberals to avoid the term communism, which gained a bad rep in the 50s. So the press will continue to say McVeigh was far right, when in fact he was a socialist, just like the Democrats.

I could never understand why they persist in using those 9V batteries. Nothing uses those anymore. In any case, I replaced both of my smoke detectors a few weeks ago with some new ones that use a permanent non-replaceable LiOH battery. The idea is when the battery goes dead it is time to replace the unit anyway.
Probably should have replaced the old one sooner. They were 35 years old.

Thing that got me was not her list of things she hated, since she obviously was crazy as a Cyborg, but the fact that always somebody agreed with her prohibitions. Must be a yearning deep in human heart to stop other people from doing as they please. Rules, laws -- always for other fellow. A murky part of us, something we had before we came down from the trees, and failed to shuck when we stood up. Because not one of those people said: "Please pass this so that I won't be able to do something I know I should stop." Nyet, tovarishchee, was always something they hated seeing neighbors doing. Stop them "for their own good" -- not because speaker claimed to be harmed by it. ~ Robert Heinlein, The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress

If it is hard-wired through the ceiling it may have some power running from the breaker box. Check that and make sure there is no transformer in the attic that feeds it.
My front and rear doorbells were fed from a breaker in the power panel by pig-tailing in a feeder wire to an already used breaker. That wire fed a transformer hanging lose behind the main panel's cover plate. I am glad I found that the first year I lived here. That was AC 101 don't do. But at least the transformer wasn't in the attic. That is a major source of house fires.

The best a Republican do is try not to step on his own "d*ck" in an obvious way while the phony moderator does everything he can do to make him break out the track shoes.

This also worked out well since the fire usually needed to be tended during the night anyhow. When life was dictated by the setting and rising of the sun and the need to tend the fire during the night, it made sense. Especially during long winter nights, I would imagine.

We have stepped over the threshold of a revolution. It is difficult to imagine how we might step back, and futile to speculate where it will end. Our ruling class's malfeasance, combined with insult, brought it about. Donald Trump did not cause it and is by no means its ultimate manifestation. Regardless of who wins in 2016, this revolution's sentiments will grow in volume and intensity, and are sure to empower politicians likely to make Americans nostalgic for Donald Trump's moderation.
