Kurt VonnegutQuote II If we do not discipline ourselves the world will do it for us. William FeatherQuote III Quality is not an act, it is a habit. AristotleAnd if you don't succeed at first........... Quote IV When the sword is once drawn, the passions of men observe no bounds of moderation. Alexander Hamilton And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.' Last Thursday a man named Taylor Trupiano of Roseville, Michigan did what a lot of people do in cold climates. He walked out of his house, started his car, turned on the heat, and went back inside for a few minutes while his engine and vehicle interior warmed up. According to Mr. Trupiano, he was only inside for about 7 or 8 minutes. But by the time he came back to his car, there was already a parking ticket on his windshield– with a fine totaling $128. Some local police officer had apparently driven by, noticed the vehicle was unattended, written up this heinous infraction, and left.There are so many things wrong with this story. Gun violence moves through a city the way a virus moves the body: predictably, but with uncanny precision. New research suggests “virus” patterns can be spotted and possibly help predict and even prevent shootings. But questions remain of whether this can be done ethically, and, most crucially, who can be trusted with this predictive technology. The significant other left you? The dog won't play with you? Depression hotline put you on hold? If so you may work for Comcast. Despite a steady drumbeat of promises and efforts to improve its reputation, Comcast remains among the least-liked companies in American history. A new survey from 24/7 Wall Street combines data from the American Consumer Satisfaction Index, JD Power and Associates and a Zogby Analytics poll, and lists Comcast as the "most hated company in America." Comcast had made some small strides in the ACSI rankings last year, but even with minor improvements still consistently battles Charter for last place in most customer satisfaction and service studies. Ray Price January 12, 1926 - December 16, 2013 Have some spare time on your hands? Extra cash you don't need? You can sue the CIA for a list of poisons it uses. Fortunately, there is now a solution: The law firm of Mark S. Zaid has agreed to represent Porup in a lawsuit for the documents pro bono - Porup just needs to raise the $500 filing fee. As a freelance reporter, that’s still a barrier, but even more fortunately, our friends at the Freedom of the Press Foundation have offered to cover half of that fee, meaning now Porup is just trying to raise $250 to make his lawsuit a reality. You can donate below, and track the requests progress on the request page. Any funds raised over the $250 needed will be set aside to fund future requests for national security related information.The ONT's unofficial-official position, we wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of the CIA. Community beer and brewery review site RateBeer puts out a list every year of the top 100 breweries in the world, “according to reviews taken last year and weighted by performance within and outside of style, balanced by indicators of depth.” From this year’s list, 72 of the breweries are based in the United States. This sounds like a great road trip. The ONT isn't quite sure how these morons got a bike wrapped up in a fence. Never wrap electric fence around a bicycle. News tips, loose change and Velveeta coupons can be sent here. Or here petmorons at g mail. Crossbow/Longbow. Mary Ann/Ginger. Ford/Chevy. Ink/No ink, oh and Genius Award Winner.

even then it is not so much bad for the dogs as it is for the carpet they yak it up on. Posted by: yankeefifth It depends on the size of the dog and the amount of the chocolate. A lab that eats a small chocolate probably won't be bad off, but a co-worker had a toy dog that ate almost an entire pan of brownies and ended up at doggie hospital.

79 RE: the guy who got ticketed for starting his car and leaving it in his drive-- that suburb isn't far from where I live. Same county.
Lots of police departments here have their own special ways of procuring funds via ticketing. Speed traps are a favorite in a nearby city as well. It's just a way to bilk more money from the taxpayers. Sad, but true. Posted by: shibumi, who requires a cute kitty story stat! at January 12, 2017 10:22 PM (puFVl) Policing for profit. It's been going on for a long time but it's gotten more exposure over time. The absolute worst though are civil asset forfeiture laws. States like Tennessee target out of state drivers, pull them over, and take their cash if they have any significant amount of it. The police department gets to keep 100% of it in some states, which gives them a direct incentive for their road piracy/armed robbery. Posted by: Insomniac at January 12, 2017 10:27 PM (0mRoj) 104

Posted by: @votermom @vm at January 12, 2017 10:24 PM (Om16U) meh. lots of it has to do with the dog's diet. our little dog has been on a diet that included human food since she was a puppy. we stupidly started giving her food when we were eating. now 10 to 20 % of her daily calories are from our food. our big dog has not eaten human food since she was yanked off a street, locked up in the grey bar hotel, and busted out by us. she has no tolerance for any meaningful amount of our food. out both ends. little dog, appearance of a princess, constitution of a tank. big dog, appearance of a tank, constitution of a princess.

The guy with the unattended car in Roseville is just a couple miles from my home. The story has been all over Facebook and it seems the prevailing attitude around here is that the cops did right. Never mind that the cop walked onto private property without permission. Never mind that it is a classic example of government over reach. He did it to prevent a high speed chase in which innocent people may get hurt. I'm kind of glad I'm leaving here for the sunshine state soon.

It was most of the way to Dayton and I-70. Never forgot that. At that time there was also construction on I-70 towards Indiana. Did the route at night too which drove me up a tree. Had my car looked over once before I went up there, took off, and by the time I left Detroit I need a new power steering rack which was a $1400 job. Had to be because of the abuse.

188 I had a student named Maurice once.
A girl. *sigh* And no, I did NOT ask her if her brother was named Pompatus. Posted by: Margarita DeVille The weird thing is, there is a really creepy and disturbing backstory to this. Steve Miller was listening to an old 1954 doo-wop song called "The Letter" by a group called "The Medallions," and in the song, the lead doo-wop singer says "...discuss the puppetutes of love." But Steve Miller couldn't understand what the singer was saying (neither could anyone else, for that matter), so when he wrote "The Joker" he (mis)quoted "The Letter"'s lyrics and just guesstimated that the guy was saying "pompatus of love." Long, long after this became a pop-culture meme, someone finally tracked down the still-alive doo-wop singer, by the name of Vernon Green, and asked what in God's name WERE the actual lyrics of "The Letter" that people had been mis-hearing for decades. He replied that the word was not "pompatus," but rather "puppetutes," which was a mashup of "puppets" and "prostitutes" (I told you it was creepy), and that a "puppetute" was his personal fantasy version of what the perfect sex partner would be like -- as pliable and obedient as a puppet, but as degraded and hyper-sexual as a prostitute. Yechhh. So, for decades people have been unwittingly glamorizing some latent sex-criminal's pervert domination fantasy, because every time they say "pompatus," they're actually referring to women as "puppetutes."

125 Re doggy diet, one New Year's Eve we fed our dogs canned dog food they weren't used to. The smaller Benji look-alike dog spent the entire night doing her Mt. St. Helens impression, all over a brand new carpet.
The smell was so awful we couldn't ignore it until morning, so I spent the night - from 10 pm until the following 6 am, on about an hourly basis - with a carpet shampooer. Enchanted evening. Posted by: Jay Guevara at January 12, 2017 10:32 PM (SRKgf) True story. Back in the early 70's when wall to wall carpeting was the big thing, my parents got it installed in their bedroom. One night, the dog took a dump on the floor. My dad went and got the special cleaning kit we had gotten and proceeded to try to clean it up. About 30 seconds into it, the smell from the shit got to him and up came dinner. Mom spent the next half hour on her knees cleaning up the puke and dog shit.

Posted by: Brother Cavil Three questions: 1. If you are the inheritor of the house, then what right does your brother have to sell it? He may be the executor, but YOU are the beneficiary. 2. If you inherited the house, then in what manner can you not "afford" it? I mean -- you already own it, right? Is it the property taxes you can't afford? 3. Even if you brother DOES sell the house, then all the proceeds from the sale -- presumably a big pile of money -- would be yours, not his. So you wouldn't be homeless at all -- you'd have lots of $$$ from the sale of the house you own. And with that money you could buy or rent another place. Right?

I inherit the house but can't really afford the place on my paltry salary. Plus my brother who's executor seems hell-bent on selling the joint ASAP which is sending up a raft of red flags.
Posted by: Brother Cavil, Cylon without a basestar at January 12, 2017 11:14 PM (vyqqu) Have some experience in this area. If you inherit the house, the executor cannot sell it. His responsibility consists of seeing to it that title is transferred into your name. Then you can either re-finance it or sell it, your discretion. This is a pretty good time to be re-financing, however, and if the house has a small residual mortgage, the re-fi payments (if you can qualify) would be far less than you would wind up paying in rent.

"Three questions:
1. If you are the inheritor of the house, then what right does your brother have to sell it? He may be the executor, but YOU are the beneficiary. 2. If you inherited the house, then in what manner can you not "afford" it? I mean -- you already own it, right? Is it the property taxes you can't afford? 3. Even if you brother DOES sell the house, then all the proceeds from the sale -- presumably a big pile of money -- would be yours, not his. So you wouldn't be homeless at all -- you'd have lots of $$$ from the sale of the house you own. And with that money you could buy or rent another place. Right?

340 I got to hang out in the hospital lobby for two hours with Pooky. He just moved across the hall to a less secure facility and if he's not in class, he has the run of the hospital. It was good to just sit and chill with him. I'm not quite over things yet-he asked me a question about when he was unconscious, and I started crying, so he changed the subject. But he's pretty much back to his normal self,so it was nice to see all the progress he's made.
Posted by: pookysgirl at January 12, 2017 11:19 PM (ar2KI) I'm very sorry about what you're going through. It's good he's made progress.

Basically, you've been through one of the most traumatic and stressful experiences that a normal human being has to go through. So you're not going to be yourself, everything may very well get on your nerves and you might not know why. It's because you've gone through something horrible. It will be bumpy for a while, but eventually you'll get used to the world without the person you loved. You'll hate it, but you have choice. You have to adapt. I'm so sorry about everything.

The lawyer to keep the property from being sold, and the financial advisor to come up with a way to either keep you in that house, or keep you in it long enough to sell it and realize the profit, which you could then invest in more affordable lodgings.

Brother Cavil, Cylon without a basestar,
I don't remember what all your problems are. I'm the kind of socially inept person that can barely remember a person's name. But don't give up. One of my brothers went through a down period where he was unemployed for about 6 years. He was in his fifties and his health was terrible, he had diabetes and was having a lot of trouble with one of his legs. At one point he was being interviewed for a job. While they were taking him around the plant he fell. That ended that opportunity. Another time he had an interview scheduled and he couldn't go because he was hospitalized. He kept at it, and kept at it and he finally got someone to hire him. He ended up being employed until he was 70 years old. Don't give up.

If you inherited the house, then in what manner can you not "afford" it?

And now it's time for The Answer Guy, the AoS' version of an official advice radio show. Today's question comes from a Mr. A. Weiner of Washington, DC. Your question, Mr. Weiner?
"Yeah. Why's it hurt so much when I pee?" Well, there could be a lot of reasons, health or otherwise. It could be as simple as just what you wear. "Do you think it would help if I removed the clamp mount for the selfie stick from my penis?" Uh, yes. I'd try that first. That's all the time we have for tonight. Be sure and tune in every night for The Answer Guy, only here at the AoS Overnight Thread! Thanks for listening. Posted by: qdpsteve aka "The Answer Guy" at January 12, 2017 11:51 PM (u8kLQ) 436

Anybody here get to watch James Corden on the Late Late Show?
I admit I enjoy him, but I usually mute his monologue. He's over the top about Trump hate. Having said that... he has some great bits. One of them he's been doing with celebrities, is a thing called "Spill Your Guts Or Fill Your Guts." Corden has a table full of actual, very icky foods, and the celebs have to either answer awkward questions (like "which other celebrity do you really really hate?"), or eat the icky stuff. Usually Corden has out: hot sauce (not icky), chicken feet, sardine smoothies, cod sperm, bull penis, and (how do they get this?) bird saliva. Everyone says the bird saliva is the worst. Of course Corden usually chooses it to threaten the celebs with. Anyway, check it out online. Fun watch. Posted by: qdpsteve at January 12, 2017 11:56 PM (u8kLQ) 451

Mike H., I think those (106 recoilless rifles) must be the same ones they used to use up in AK (where is tcn?) - I saw pedestals for them along the highway running southeast from Anchorage along Cook Inlet, to do avalanche-prevention in the part of the Chugach range that extended down that far (I think that was part of the Chugach). Think my brother said they longer use them, as they'd finally run out of ammo. Speaking of which, without looking it up, I think there are several thousand (many) 16-inch rounds still in guvamint storage (Dahlgren, VA?). Sadly, no active platforms to use them up.

As in Moody's, the firm that rates the financial standing of every community, county, state and the very U.S. Government, as well as every other frikkin' country on the planet. Copy me (e mail in nic), with your resume when you do. I have the strongest of connections at the executive levels in H.R. there. Can't guarantee a damn thing, EXCEPT a very important pair of eyeballs on what you send 'em. http://tinyurl.com/gvca83n But the Island ain't a bad place to live. Give it a thought.

Without wishing to seem immodest, I'm like a retired MLB player offering to coach a high school team. But I'm not willing to jump through the hoops, sit up, beg, roll over, and play dead to do this. Their blurb makes clear that 1) they view their faculty as interchangeable pieces of meat, and 2) at least at the administrative level they're militantly far left. Apart from that, it looks like a good opportunity. The funny part is that I'd kind of like to teach chemistry, even at that level, because the subject is usually so poorly taught that it puts kids off forever. It's usually taught starting with the Schroedinger wave equation, which I think is totally the wrong starting point. I'd start with a phenomenological approach. "You're a nineteenth century chemist. You observe that some compounds are blue, some stink, some burn, some are inert, some are gases, some liquids, some solids, some are pulled into magnetic fields, some pushed out of magnetic fields. How can we make sense of these observations, much less predict what will happen in heretofore unexamined cases? That's what we'll consider in this course." And that would ultimately lead into the wave equation etc., but I wouldn't start there. Indeed, the field didn't start there.

Allies? I figured the "A" would be for "asexual". I guess I need to follow more lefty sites. (Spoiler alert: no I don't.) ...or does not giving a f--k (literally) mean you can't be part of the club? Sounds bigoted and exclusionary to me. Posted by: mikeski at January 13, 2017 01:34 AM (UzBQ4) 607

@599 Should the Trump Administration elect to enforce immigration law in the state of California you will find half (or more) of the motels and restaurants around Disneyland pretty much shut down.
--------------------- He'll probably try to enforce it, at least initially. The question is how California will react. The House of Mouse in particular won't be pleased if Trump's actions end up making it difficult for tourists to come visit the Southern California money maker.

re the Mis Hum piece on violence as a virus, back in July the Chicago Trib reported on a list the PD has of 'at-risk of being shot' persons. They try interventions, track arrests and shootings vs. the list, etc. and guess what? The violence ain't decreasing.

"Stockard Channing will be playing Elizabeth Taylor opposite Ralph Fiennes who will be playing Michael Jackson."
Actually it's his brother, Joseph (who played the title role in "Shakespeare in Love" and the Roman soldier in "Risen") who's been cast. Ralph was Voldemort and the title character in "The English Patient". Posted by: voiceover If you do an image search on Joseph Fiennes Michael Jackson it's hilarious. I think they had to lighten his skin for the role. And Jacko's alleged daughter Paris is angry and offended by it. Does she think that to honor him they should find a genuine pedo to play him rather than a normal guy like Fiennes? I may have to see this just for the lulz.

California passed the 15$ minimum wage, that may put some of the 95 million out of the labor force back to work. Of course a ticket to Disneyland will be 200$. And a jumbo jack will be 5$, but Jerry Brown says that's all good.

By OC III, the prof was giving problems like "Starting with a charcoal briquet and a bucket of salt water, synthesize chloroform. Show all steps." Although I am a chemist, I never liked OC. Memorize this, memorize that. Eff that noise. Give me Physical Chemistry any day of the week where things can be derived from one another. And the type of problem cited above in OC?

Let me be clear. That chocolate on the chair is the crap I plan to spread throughout the Whitey House. It will take weeks to clean up all the fudge packed butts I plan to unlease. Further, I can shit on the international chess board so it tips over. The nuclear football is still in my court. I could louse up the balance of power by starting a war. Think about my demands. I need to say on at the Whitey House for three more years to smooth the transition. You have seven days to meet my demands. I cannot answer any more questions. Good day.

For the first time in a VERY long time, I looked back on Lord Huron's "Fool For Love Single". - A truly great and truly marvelous single. I think I recall clearly explaining a very difficult tragedy that had personally befallen me. Do I remember incorrectly that there were those who projected my difficulties must be related to losing love?? - Well such a supposition in and of itself is wholly fair. And yet when I point out that there is a lot more to it than that... maybe you guys ought to consider that. If I am not mistaken, I pointed out that my obsession was less about the lyrics of Lord Huron: and more about the beautiful eternal sentiment that LH provided.

Well Charlie B. I am not seeking to bring anybody forth. I cannot explain it, but thank goodness I have good friends near me. Thanks. Anyway, CBD, in case simple rhyming is insufficient: that brilliant song by Ween is so originally excellent that I would have to be there in person to to expound further. - Sorry. You want real contact : try Voo Doo Lady by Ween. -- Almost always works for me. Thanks, ace and everyone else. Sincerely, see you guys tomorrow. - Wouldn't lie. [But THANK YOU so much for checking in. - That was not my intention. - Good to know I can count on y'all. - seriously.] Posted by: Stoic Trumpublican at January 13, 2017 04:52 AM (dDOWg) Posted by: Stoic Trumpublican at January 13, 2017 04:54 AM (dDOWg) 637

There were two unclaimed explosions in Damascus overnight Thursday and early Friday (Jan.12-13) one at an officers club in Damascus and the second at Mezzeh airport, which Syria alleged was the work of the new Israeli F-35 stealth aircraft firing across the border from a point over the Sea of Galilee.
There was no claim to either of the attacks. LMAO Just having F-35s makes the Arabs look for boogy men Posted by: Nevergiveup at January 13, 2017 06:59 AM (sRFAL) Processing 0.06, elapsed 0.0734 seconds. |
