Monday Overnight Open Thread (12/26/16)
I was born white, which now, whether I like it or not, makes me a racist.
I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today’s standards, makes me a fascist. I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks, now makes me a homophobe. I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class and an ally of big business. I am a Christian, which now labels me as an infidel. I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which now makes me a member of the vast gun lobby. I am retired, which makes me useless. I think and I reason, therefore I doubt much that the main stream media tells me, which must make me a reactionary. I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture, which makes me a xenophobe. I value my safety and that of my family and I appreciate the police and the legal system, which makes me a right-wing extremist. I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist. I (and most of the folks I know), acquired a fair education without student loans (it’s called work) and no debt at graduation, which makes me some kind of an odd underachiever. I believe in the defense and protection of the homeland for and by all citizens, which now makes me a militant. Now, a sick old woman is calling me and my friends a basket of deplorables. Please help me come to terms with the new me…because I‘m just not sure who I am anymore! I would like to thank all my friends for sticking with me through these abrupt, new found changes in my life and my thinking! .....I just can’t imagine or understand what happened to me so quickly! Funny…it’s all just taken place over the last 7 1/2 years! As if all this B.S. wasn’t enough to deal with….now I'm not sure which public restroom to use.Quotes of The Day

Maryland church faces dilemma. Do they continue outreach to the homeless or face a stiff fine?
.........Rev. Grover has allowed homeless people in the Baltimore, MD area to sleep outside of her church on benches and concrete slabs. She said she feels like the church should, at the very least, let homeless people have access to a bench to sleep on. However, her kindness is not appreciated by the church’s business neighbor Charles Bartko. The Shore Produce and Seafood owner spoke to Fox Baltimore and confessed to complaining about the homeless because they “poured urine on his tree” and caused it to die. He also claimed to see a topless woman and defecation all over the place. His complaints reached Ellen Kobler, a deputy director in Baltimore County’s Office of Communications, and she agrees with him.

Here's the recipe that actually cooks the eggs:
In a large pan,
whisk 6 eggs plus 2 egg yolks and 1/2 cup plus 2 T sugar with 1/4 tsp
salt until blended. Keep whisking as you slowly add 4 cups of whole
milk. Place the pan on the stove's burner and turn it to the lowest
possible setting. Continuously whisk for 25-30 minutes until the mixture
reaches 160F and will coat the underside of a spoon.
Strain this
into a large bowl to remove any pieces of cooked egg. Now stir in 1 cup
bourbon, 1 T vanilla extract, and 1/2 tsp grated nutmeg. Transfer to a
covered container and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours.
When ready to serve, whip 3/4 c heavy cream, and fold it into the mixture.
14 servings.
---------------------------------
BEST EGGNOG, IMHO
I have another raw egg recipe, more complex. This one uses a dozen eggs,
separated. You beat the yolks with 1 1/2 cups sugar for 10 minutes,
then slowly add 2 cups of bourbon and 3/4 cups brandy. I think the
alcohol will kill anything! You chill that for at least 6 hours, or
until 30 minutes before you want to serve. Transfer it to a very large
bowl where you can mix everything together at the end. Now add 6 cups
milk and 2 tsp ground or grated nutmeg to the yolks and stir.
In a
separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form (do this
first since you can't have any traces of fat on the beaters for the egg
whites, or they won't peak). In a third bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream
until you get stiff peaks.
Fold the whites into the yolk mixture, then fold in the whipped cream for the final production.
-------------------
Widow (or bachelor) quick eggnog:
6 eggs, 3 cups of
milk, 8 T sugar, 3 tsp vanilla extract. Preferably using a mixer, beat
the eggs, then alternate adding milk and sugar. When it thickens
slightly, add the vanilla and whatever spice you're using. I happen to
have whole nutmegs. Use 1/2 tsp freshly grated
Now
chill thoroughly. Says here at least 3 hours in the fridge, but I'd put
it in the freezer to speed it up.
I used brown sugar to compensate for only having white rum.

My mom was a good cook. But we had neighbors whose mom cooked beef by boiling it. Not kidding, she really cooked it that way.
My mom on the other hand made pot roast by browning it on the stove that finishing it off in the oven. The potatoes and carrots were caramelized and the beef was tender and juicy.

I'd have to disagree with QOTD III, however -- or, maybe, agree with the quote's words while 180 degrees different from its spirit. My mom's talent for taking wholesome, tasty ingredients and making attractive, tasty food from them rivals that of an industrial concrete mixer. Once I had escaped from the elementary school lunch program, dorm food, and my mom's cooking [the worst of the three], I kept on going and never looked back.
The fiancee once noted that I never "allowed her" to dine at my mom's table. Over the years, she realized that I'd been protecting her.

Maybe Trump could add to the inaugural entertainment by putting up yuuge screens showing youtube compilations of The Beast's supporters weeping on election night. I'd dance to that.

Turned it off so it didn't fuck itself overnight cycling and not heating.
the tech showed up, and I turned it back on this morning (natural gas)
anyway worked with no issues.
The mother board was not throwing any error codes and the tech thought that it was an overcycling issue
so no idea

Totally agree on staffing. Even if I'm doing take-out (I don't do drive-through), I feel better about humanity after having interacted with their employees. If you thank them, they don't cough up a perfunctory "you're welcome" -- they say "it was my pleasure" and seem to mean it.
Unfortunately, this tends to last about 20 seconds after you pull out of their driveway and some asshole cuts you off in traffic.

Thankfully she has a good doctor, expert nursing every day at her own home, and my Uncle who is there for her throughout the day. She's not in pain and is kept comfortable; though she's already mostly gone, still love what little remains (which is still far more than most people now-a-days have at their prime).

fast food in small towns and suburbs staffed by high school kids working theifr first job is super. fast food made by disgruntled 30 somethings demanding $15/ hour to raise their five kids in an inner city is awful. never eat fast food in NYC.

Do you have any idea how hard a Bear has to work to find that many calories?
That many delicious, sticky calories...they know and they remember.

Oh, my dog would remember. I don't feed her people food, but if a small piece of something yummy accidentally falls on the floor, she gobbles it up, and I have to retrain her to not crowd me when I'm eating.

There is nothing that you have said here to indicate you're not a good person and in fact the opposite. Except for people who get drunk and abusive on here and some strange trolls, I don't think anyone here is not a good person and sometimes the drunk and abusive people are just that way because they're dealing with too many problems and are having a bad day and of course if they are alcoholics that never really helps anything.
It's mentally and spiritually and physically exhausting dealing with the death of loved one.

Just saw my Grandmother for what will likely be the last time. Doctors are surprised she's lasted so long. She sleeps 22 hrs a day and can now only respond with her eyes, though she doesn't recognize her own children, though they can sorta communicate when they use her first languge.

Still, I can vouch for In-n-Out, especially when it's done "Animal Style".
Best burger place that I've been to, though, is a little burger shack in Westwood, Calif. It was right next to a sandwich shop locally known as "buck fifty", though inflation has probably changed that since I've been there..

Not a guarantee. Mike Hammer's Cat was been here since he was 5 or 6 weeks old. Picking him will likely result in bloodshed. Weirdly, he will curl up on my lap, or even snuggle under the bedclothes, but such moments are strictly according to his mood.

173 Taco Bell ...
Yoiks!!! I won't touch that stuff with a 10-foot pole. About the only pseudo-Mexican fast food I'll eat is del Tacoburger.
A much better candidate for most popular fast food place in Utah than In-n-Out would be Taco Time. Every little town has at least one. Better than del Tacoburger, but similar sort of stuff.
The Taco Time crisp bean and crisp meat burritos are convenient when you're driving. I call them beansicles and meatsicles, respectively.

I'm gonna leave this here, because I have to go to sleep, but is there anyway we can set up something like a go fund thing for you?. (I guess the one you had is not at all helpful) I don't know how those things work but poster "Ben Had" did a P.O. Box for a poster here. Maybe he could do that again for you or I could do it, but not till next month when I have some more money. You have my e-mail.
There are actually a couple people here who have shared things are hard right now. I don't want to name names, but they know who they are and I realize that sometimes people don't want to ask for help which is understandable, but I think we care about each other and want to help each other if we can.

I relished the novelty of eating BWW at 9 A.M. or so, and the fact that there were gambling machines there was funny, but the atmosphere when there were no importat sporting events on the TVs was a mite . . . depressing.

Washington State says Dick's Drive in is the favorite.
Here's the thing: There are SIX Dick's restaurants total, and 5 of them are in Seattle, one 20 miles north in Edmonds, and that was the first new one (2011) since 1974.
Don't get me wrong, Dick's is great; a Deluxe and fries with tartar sauce is Heaven on Earth, and the shakes are right out of the 50s. But it's only Seattle, not the state.

To Whom It May Concern,
My "Joy and Pain" campaign was flagged for unknown reason(s). Due to the flag, I have had to push back my husband's service, which was supposed to be held December 23rd. I have submitted documents as proof of the validity of the campaign. My father, who is a contributor, is quite upset that his donation is being held up and will be pursuing an investigation into the matter. He is an investigator for the state of Florida as well as a member of the Orange Country Sheriff's dept. Other donors are also pursing other legal avenues. I am currently in contact with a lawyer who will be contacting your organization shortly if this is not resolved by the end of the week.
Cheers!

The people you see are just a couple of the volunteers. We have a STRICT policy of not taking any pictures of the Vets.
It was my lot to work the desert table, which was overwhelmed with pies, cakes, cobblers, cupcakes, etc.
Not a single one of those guys took anything without saying "Thank You".
There was one big, grizzled old black guy who looked at me and said, "What?! No figgy pudding?". Laughed our collective asses off we did.
Great guys, but mostly VN, and getting old.

"Lisa has a wide circle of friends. At our urging, she set up a site with you (Indiegogo) so that she could quickly raise money to take care of cremation and interment expenses, notify those who should be notified, and cover the loose ends one gathers sitting in an ICU while a loved-one struggles to the end.
We accepted that Indiegogo was a profit-making enterprise because it appeared to provide worthwhile organization, hasten the logistics, and -- through the generosity.com branch -- it was priced attractively [compared to, say, Western Union].
Well, it hasn't been that well organized, I've been deluged with spam, you've provided unreasonable delays, and your "cut of the action" is currently 100% -- as our contributions are spoken for while Lisa hasn't received the money.
You are poisoning your brand. I could have mailed her a check and she would have had it before Christmas -- and, now, I wish I had. I was the first contributor on her generosity.com campaign because I thought Indiegogo was worthy of trust. Now, I wouldn't trust you schmucks with a burnt match.
Release the funds within the next 24 hours or let me know that I should consider involvement with Indiegogo to be prima facie evidence of fraud -- not by those who have campaigns, but at the corporate level. I'll then mail her a check, as I wish I'd done before, and pursue whatever remedies I may have against your organization."

Sort of.
My recipe for Wassail:
Take 5 bottles of brown ale, half a bottle of Madeira, a sliced blood orange and a spice pouch containing whole cloves, whole allspice, crystallized ginger, and cinnamon soaked in bitters, and heat in a crock pot.
Bake 4 cored apples/pears filled with brown sugar, honey, and the sixth bottle of brown ale for 30 minutes at 350 degrees F. Thereafter combine with the contents of the crock pot. Let meld for at least half an hour.
Enjoy!

On Christmas this year, used bourbon for the dressing and rum for the ham. Of course most of that didn't contribute to the actual food... which is why *making* the dinner is more enjoyable than the meal itself...

Sometimes you can tell. There was a place called Mo's in Lincoln City on the coast of Oregon, had the most amazing seafood. But it was a little place with a counter you ordered from, no seating. Always a big line.
Then they got a nice new place at a wonderful location and, I dunno they changed the menu or something, its not nearly as good now. Beautiful views though.

In our little town, "the homeless" have destroyed several restrooms in a local park. Think it's the drug addict set among the homeless that did it.
Our local food bank, run by an efficient Seventh Day Adventist volunteer, tried to set up a bathroom and shower for them but they trashed that, too.
They were sleeping in the shrubbery surrounding the park with the vandalized restrooms. Ran afoul of environmentalists because the shrubbery was a bird habitat. That claim got results.
We help a particular homeless guy almost every day, but then, we know him. Binge alcoholic who smokes, could start a fire when drunk. Thus homeless. Otherwise, a nice guy. Completely illiterate. Was a hard worker in his day.

The problem is not fraud and fraudsters. The problem is not that they have become suspicious. The problem is not that they flag accounts.
The problem is that they flag accounts into a black hole of time-suck and play stupid "I can't be contacted" games about resolving issues.

But they were homeless for a reason none were the "I lost my house in the stock market" kind. They were addicts and alcoholics and crazy and the guys the cops would catch over and over, get 6 month sentences and bounce back out. Even the really nice older guy who never said a word and was sweet and sad, he tried to cheat on bottle returns. The teenage guy that was a nice kid tried to steal cigarettes. I had to throw one guy out permanently because he dressed like a nazi and would copy this lunatic nazi stuff on the photocopier and it just was freaking out other customers.
I tried to be good to them all, because of Christian charity and because their lives are crappy enough but I learned that the sad faces you see on TV are at least sometimes there because of their own stupidity and choices.

All the more reason to do so, then. Manipulate them to work to your ends, prod them to serve you by their means.
They are the enemy, and you should employ distraction and avarice in order to cause them to become a tool in your hands.
Do the whole SunTzu thing, get 'em to charge at the flanks or fronts of YOUR choosing.
USE the "grieving widow" angle, the "fraud" angle, and even the very Media Ready, SJW friendly, "profile" of the (to their small minds) "blend" of you and Carl.
USE your distinguished Military Record.
USE selected emails and AoS comments, as well as comments attached to IGG donations, for the TV to edit into the story.
USE the whole "Tear-Jerker" of this, to get the story AIRED, and be sure to capture every version of they may use, from the noon, four, five six and ten o clock broadcasts.
Same with any coverage from their website.
USE their reporters to contact IGG, and force IGG to respond to, or ignore, valid "media inquiries."
It all goes with yours and Cooth's WAR letters.
Just use the media like the whores they are.
When you're done with 'em, wad 'em up and leave 'em crying on the cutting room floor.
No need to leave a $20, either. Not like they're offering you a happy ending, y'know.
Then, use all that across the entire 'web, and hammer on IGG like they deserve, and then some. Then hammer them some more. And again.

Went out to the sidewalk and tried to call them. Verizon had no listing in SF.
As far as 965 Mission, right across the street from where I was -- go ahead and pull it up on street view, then count up to the 6th floor. I don't want to spoil it.

Half half is a great idea. I don't think I've consumed this much milk in ages. Don't care for it except in cocoa and eggnog. Or with cereal, but I haven't had cereal in years.
When I do, it's Captain Crunch with crunchberries. With cartoons.

There's nothing specific in Delaware law that protects against takeovers. The special court system that they have for adjudicated corporate law issues with judges that work on only on those particular types of cases rather than having to rotate into all the other areas of law every few months is why the big corporations Incorporated Delaware. And of course because of all of this, all of the best corporate lawyers are either in Delaware or very close by in New York and Boston.

All new bearings installed and motor reassembled. The commutator-end bearing had seized and wallowed out the plastic end bell, so the motor is sitting in the vise overnight to let the epoxy putty I used to seat the new commutator-end bearing to set up and become really hard. Motor turns, and I am pretty sure it will work. How long, is anybody's guess.

Unions themselves are more traitorous. Any gains they get are at the expense in the ultimate cost of finished goods from their business or industry to all non-union consumers. Likewise they're behind any number of initiatives that remove competition from the marketplace both in industry and labor. Now with cheep shipping and transport they're even more ineffectual - which is why the biggest remaining unions are in industry which can't be exported.

If I need a roofing nail, or an inch-and-a-quarter wood screw, I can grab them from their respective containers.
I use a lot of wood screws here, so a detailed sort by length was worthwhile. Use many fewer nails, so simply having a box marked "assorted nails" works for now.
Probably "earned" ten bucks an hour for doing this, given the price of new screws and nails.

Family business since the late 40's early 50's. There are 6 drive-ins. All in the Seattle area (within 20 miles of downtown - one is in downtown). They are a great fast food place do not get me wrong, but did they bother to even go the eastern part of the state; much less out of the Seattle city limits??

I got a screw assortment from Harbor Freight that came with a set of drawers. It was mainly M3, M4, and M5 metric -- but it showed a way to arrange a set of little drawers.

Oh yeah. All the old screws I sorted were Phillips head, #2, maybe a very few #3. Most of the new screws I buy are Robertson head, because they work better. If I'm going to build a whole new wall, I will use the Robertson. But if I am just fitting one or two pieces, or repairing existing work, it's nice to use screws consistent with the rest of the area.
Nest trip, I expect I will be hanging a lot of sheet rock. And I have enough Phillips screws to hang a lot of it, now.
I also have a little tub full of the quarter-inch hex head #10 sheet metal screws beloved of trailer builders. Not that I plan to use them.

I'm familiar with those sets. My Phillips screws got sorted into styrofoam "cereal bowls". Two bowls each of inch-and-a-quarter, and of inch-and-under. That's hundreds of screws.
Every avoided trip to the hardware store is time and money saved.

I could make hundreds on a yard sale of just hardware alone...

If you have a lot of rusty, greasy, and dirty hardware and small parts or tools, here's way to clean them easily in bulk. Get some washing soda (Na2CO3), also known as "soda ash". Arm & Hammer is one common brand. Put half a pound of washing soda, 5 gallons of water, and about ten pounds of dirty hardware into a cement mixer barrel, and run the mixer for at least half an hour. Longer is better. Tumbling chips off the rust and some of the paint, and the mild caustic dissolves grease and oil. This works fine for nuts and bolts, and small parts and tools like pliers and wrenches.
I first tried this with lye, aka caustic soda, and it worked well, but it's nasty stuff to handle. Washing soda works every bit as well, but it won't harm your skin unless contact is prolonged.
This is about a hundred times faster than cleaning the same parts with a wire wheel. And a few pennies per pound of parts cleaned.

Soda Ash sounds cheaper.
I have a fair amount of old old rusty tools I'd like to restore. Axes, hammers, chisels, saws...

For stuff like this, electrolytic derusting is the answer. I have not done it, but I sure plan to. It has had rave reviews from people I trust in the old-car world. Link below is one of many, shows how easy it can be:

Lost my Mom in Sept - she was in her late 80's so it was a good run - what I wouldn't give for her dried out roast beef and noodles cooked to mush. She couldn't cook worth a damn but poured all her love into it.

Avoid submerging the battery charger clips, or any other copper parts. Either they will get eaten, or will gunk up the solution. Bridge the top of your vessel with a steel rod, and hang the work from that with a bent steel wire hook.

I've just dropped in my house key to my friend a few houses away - said I'd be back in 5
Well 3 glasses of Aussie chardy later and some new burned cds Rolling Stones and Status Quo. ..
Can't say that hubby is impressed - 2 hours later!
Because dinner! Hey enough ham and chicken and salad to feed everyone in the street - do it yourself!
Of course I've poured myself some chardy
My friend is feeding my kitties for 2 days as we're heading to Brisbane tomorrow at 7am for grand daughters 1st birthday party
Up at 4.30am so may as well keep up with you lot and keep drinking!
Cheers all!

I'm so glad that I'm missed here because I'm in big trouble right now
My son and I polished off a bottle of Petaluma 2005 chardonnay on Christmas Day evening
Oops was a special birthday present for hubby and he was saving it for a special occasion
Thank heavens for the Internet because I'll have to replace it if I don't want to be evicted!
