Monday Night Overnight Open Thread (8/14/17) All Day Monday Edition
We should call evil by its name. My brother didn't give his life fighting Hitler for Nazi ideas to go unchallenged here at home. Senator Orin hosta (R-UT)
Quote II
Honor is not the exclusive property of any political party. Herbert Hoover
Quote III
Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does. William James
More Quotes of The Day. If motivational quotes told the truth.
With his enthusiasm and some realistic engineering, experts believe it may only be five to 15 years until nobody needs roads to get where they’re going.I call Bull Shit and so does the late-great Tim Wilson.
The life of a Cob. Glamorous. Killer salary. Dynamic benefits, don't let CDR-M bullshit you. Yet, we put ourselves through sheer hell at times linking to what is going on in our world. My maternal great grandparents came here not knowing English. There was no running water, no indoor plumbing, no electricity, no automobiles. Yet, they learned the English language and became successful farmers. We as a nation have become fat, lazy and overly narcissistic. Professional cuddlers.
In our occasional series on this nontraditional industry, Quartz interviewed a professional cuddler named Heather, who is based in Seattle, Washington. Heather has spent more than a year meeting with a 75-year-old client for weekly, three-hour sessions.Don't want to read the story, there is a video for you. You're welcome.
Want to feel good? Want to be loved? Be selfless. Just a suggestion.
Are we this insecure? Liquid nose jobs on the rise.
Amanda Mercer had been contemplating a nose job for years, but the idea of shelling out around $15,000 — and undergoing anaesthesia — kept the 20-year-old from booking an appointment. Still, she was bothered by the way she looked in pictures her friends would post online. “I’m always like, ‘No, don’t get my side! It has to be head-on!,’ ” says the college student, who lives in Bay Shore, LI. So when she heard of nonsurgical rhinoplasty, in which fillers are injected to shape a nose, she jumped at the chance to “fix” her face without going under the knife.
For years? Gimme a f*cking break.
New research from a team at MIT indicates symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affecting patient’s memories may be reversible. AD causes memory loss by setting up genetic “blockades” formed when the enzyme HCAC2 condenses the genes of the brain responsible for memory. Eventually, those genes become useless; unexpressed, the genes are unable to cause the formation of new memories or retrieval of existing ones.
The surprising origin of Kotex feminine pads.
What’s in a name? For Kotex, the first-ever brand of sanitary napkins to hit the U.S., everything.
The disposable sanitary napkin was a high-tech invention (inspired, incidentally, by military products) that changed the way women dealt with menstruation. It also helped to create modern perceptions of how menstruation should be managed through its advertising, which was both remarkably explicit for its time but also strictly adhered to emerging stereotypes about
the “modern” woman of the 1920s should aspire to. Kotex sanitary napkins paved the way for the wide variety of feminine hygiene products on the market today by finding an answer to the crucial question: How to market a product whose function can’t be openly discussed? “Kotex was such a departure because there just wasn’t a product” previously, says communications scholar Roseann Mandziuk.
We can't have a discussion about feminine hygiene products without the Feminine Hygiene Song.
Big. Big eclipse coming up on August 21st if you haven't heard. Be careful of the eclipse glasses being sold.
In just over a week on August 21st, the US will experience its first total solar eclipse in nearly 40 years. Seeing as staring at the sun, even while it is obscured by the moon, for any length of time can be extremely hazardous up to and including the point of severe eye damage or blindness, it’s not a suggestion to buy eclipse glasses that meet minimum safety standards. It’s pretty much mandatory. All this is why news Amazon has detected vendors selling “counterfeit or unsafe versions” of the glasses, per the Verge, is more than a little discomforting. According to an Amazon safety notification obtained by the Verge, the e-commerce giant has removed the pages for products it could not verify met minimum standards including “MASCOTKING Solar Eclipse Glasses 2017 - CE and ISO Certified Safe Shades for Direct Sun Viewing — Eye Protection.” It is also offering refunds to customers who have purchased those products.Mom always said, "Don't, ....................................."
We aren't that far away from the silly season, Campaign 2018. Some of the silly season should be interesting. Left to eat left.
Sen. Claire McCaskill already was anticipating a tough fight from Republicans as she seeks a third term, but her path got even trickier this month when she found out she now faces a challenge from her left as well.
Ms. McCaskill is perhaps the most vulnerable Democrat in the Senate heading into next year, where she will try to defend her seat in Missouri, a state that’s tilted heavily toward Republicans in recent years.
August 14, 1988, Guitarist Roy Buchanan died after hanging himself with his own shirt in Fairfax County Adult Detention Center having been arrested for drunkenness. Buchanan released over 15 solo albums; Jeff Beck dedicated the song 'Cause We've Ended As Lovers' to Buchanan in 1975 on his Blow by Blow album. via thisdayinmusic.comI recommend the "Loading Zone" LP.
August 14, 1941, Born on this day, David Crosby, The Byrds, Crosby Stills Nash & Young. (1969 UK No.17 single 'Marrakesh Express', 1970 US No.11 single 'Woodstock' 1970 US No.1 album 'Deja Vu', 1975 US No. 6 solo album 'Wind On The Water'). via thisdayinmusic.com
Falling into the category, "My how have times changed". Why is the media sympathetic towards the women of ISIS?
Recently, The Independent (UK) published a sympathetic portrayal of the ISIS wives now living in the “Little Britain of Raqqa.” The BBC joined in with its own story, which highlighted the voices of other women who had joined ISIS. Over the sound of mournful background music, an earnest BBC reporter asked the women questions about why they had gone with their husbands to ISIS territory—although a more honest questioner would have asked why these women fled their cushy Western lives to join a death cult with a murderous ideology that was killing people because of their religion and sexuality. Other media outlets have published similarly sympathetic stories, such as one about an affluent German girl who joined ISIS but now complains, “I just want to go home.”
Oh no, Man made air pollution is killing birds. Fine. Man will stop burning fossil fuels. Shit. Green energy kills them to? Guess mankind just has to do away themselves.
If you were self-employed and suffered possible career ending thefts, What would you do to recover your property?
Burns says burglars are targeting properties near his Moo Nay Farms in Cooks Brook, Nova Scotia, which has been robbed twice in as many months. Most recently, they stole $1,000 worth of tools, but in June they took $5,000 worth of animals – including six pigs and 40 chickens. He took to Facebook on August 2 to offer two rewards. If anyone comes to him with a tip that leads to the recovery of his tools, he will give that person “five pounds of my best Berkshire bacon” – which, he has said, “is one of the most beloved products from our farm.” (Insert Jim Gaffigan joke here.)That is a lot of bacon and fried chicken to move without being noticed.
California is in more trouble. 8 active volcanoes in CA.
California could be even closer to a major natural disaster than ever before. With eight active volcanoes and a high state population, the United States Geological Survey says that the Golden State is in desperate need of very close monitoring.
Our country continues its downward moral slide. CA hospital being sued for not assisting suicide.
But sometimes they show their true intentions. Thus, when UCSF oncologists refused to assist a cancer patient’s suicide, the woman died of her disease. Now, her family is suing–using the same attorney (Kathryn Tucker) who tried (unsuccessfully) to obtain an assisted suicide Roe v Wade in 1997 and has brought other pro-assisted sucide cases around the country. From the San Francisco Chronicle story: Judy Dale died of cancer in her San Francisco home in September, in agony, after being denied the pain-relieving medication she might have received under the state’s aid-in-dying law that had taken effect three months earlier."First do no harm"
Are you thinking about relocating? The USA cost of living by state. Would you relocate because of this or say, weather?
The question is: When will the MSM run stories that Al Gore is full of shit?
Meteorologist Joe Bastardi explains: “Al Gore was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize based on warnings of future events — the same future events that have not happened. The fact is that global temperatures from 2006-2007 while Gore was basking in the glory of his apocalypse-driven fame were warmer than they are now, and we are still falling off the Super El Niño peak. Additionally, much of the time in-between was lower than what it was in the run-up to ‘An Inconvenient Truth.'” Bastardi added: “Fact: Without monkeying around and ‘finding’ warming, temps have changed very little during 20 year AGW hysteria period.”
When hell freezes over?

Yup, been one of those days. Can't wait for preschool to start. I'm starting to feel sorry for Pookette's preschool teacher. She has been warned that Pookette is a clone of her father, but I'm not sure she's fully prepared, even if she did teach Pooky.
Pookette: "Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, it's a rainbow!"
Pooky: "Well, what about indigo?"
Pookette: "That's in the sky."
Me (snickering): "Well, she's got you there!"

Of COURSE Nazi ideas should be "challenged", Orrin.
National Socialism as practiced by the NSDAP is Objectively Bad. Anti-Semitism is Objectively Bad.
But the prerequisite for that is for the assholes on the left to stop saying every god damned thing under the sun is "nazi" or "fascist", so that we CAN oppose the tenets of National Socialism, without stepping into their Kafkatrapping Gaslighting Shit-show-a-rama.

A quick google search (I know, I know) of the site shows Gary Johnson saying that phrase. BSG was in that thread but he was talking pancakes. Dunno if it was said elsewhere but that's what a ten second search found.
So can we drop this or is it going to pop up in every thread from now on?

If one is in a true position of "institutional privilege & power", then one does not fear being outspoken; if one does not have this "institutional privilege & power" and dares say something not approved of those who do have it, than the fear of retribution is manifest.

Bush is making a comeback. It's come full circle. When did the "grooming" trend start? Early 80s or so? Mainstream a few years later or something?
Anyway, that was the kinky, hot-to-trot thing to do now. Now, bare hardood and tight trimmed mons is so common that the bush is the kinky and hot-to-trot thing to do.
However, still smooth labia, mostly. But with a huge, untamed mass on the mons. Looks sort of crazy to me.

There was a scene with two aspiring models who had a three-way with an Austin Powers type London scene photgrapher to get him to take some shots of them.
They got nekkid and had full, massive bush. Those guys in their 20s freaked out. Their reaction was like seeing armpit hair on a girl.

I think there was a New Testament textual critic, Daniel Wallace if I'm not mistaken, conservative guy, but he made a really off color joke about "Kotex Sinaiticus" which of course refers to Codex Sinaiticus: one of the most complete ancient manuscripts of the NT we have. It comes from the "Alexandrian" tradition, rather than the "Byzantine". It is generally favored because it has more difficult readings.

There are no statues to Hitler in America, but there is one to Lenin in Seattle. There is no Nazi professors on major college campuses in America, but there are lots of Marxist ones. There are no employees at Google who openly spout Nazi rhetoric, yet there are Communist ones who can. When Nazis commit violence in America it is a national crisis, yet when Communists commit violence in America it is social justice.
Senator....the Nazis are challenged, your brother did not die for nothing. My question is how many Americans who lost brothers, fathers, and sons fighting Communism can say the same?

Euler was one of the most prolific mathematicians there ever was, I believe. I remember being amazed at how many equations and relations were named after him. And quite a diverse range as well.
And didn't he go just about blind, yet keep it up?
With our level of knowledge now, I don't believe another Euler is possible. You've got to get really specialized in a narrow range of study to do anything significant.

The root problem is that by making the intentional infliction of death an accepted medical procedure, you've opened up a can of worms that results in killing babies, the elderly with dementia, people who simply just don't want to live, and even the killing of people who are shouting that they don't want to die as they are held down and killed.
It's one thing to inject pain medication with the sole purpose of relieving pain, and killing off people who want to live, or not able to understand what is happening to them.

FemiNazis blame the patriarchy. It's a plot to subjugate women.
I don't know if there's any evolutionary psychology reason for it. Hell, I don't really know how long the desire for smooth legs and all has been there. But I don't recall any old paintings with hairy women. :-)
Interestingly, I think there's studies that show on average, women themselves rate less body hair on men as more attractive as well.
But it's a complicated thing.

I think people in the early 17th c. thought the same way. I mean, what was really left to study besides the same old multivariate analysis problems over, and over, and over again. All the promising research had already been done.
And look at now. After how many years of frenetic research into scads of new topics, and figuring out that pretty much all fields of mathematics can be expressed in terms of each other, as best I can tell most professional mathematics has been reduced to second-order logic games and automated proof theorems. The last "flashy" result I can think of was Wiles and the Fermat dealy, which was more of a parlor trick (an amazingly impressive parlor trick) than any kind of groundbreaking new field of study.
We won't know it's time for another upheaval in mathematics until it's already happened, I think.
To put it another way, If I could guess what the next revolution in mathematics will be, I'd be 90% of the way to being immortalized in textbooks, 'cause I'd be the one doing it.

But really, when you think about the history of it, the electron started out as a bullshit fudge too. Just some way of describing a collection of behaviors that can be experimentally validated. Nobody even now really knows what an electron "is", just what it does and how it acts.
I feel that dark matter/dark energy is just at that stage now. We know there's "something" to talk about, we just haven't figured out what it is or what it does. One day we'll know as much about the particles that comprise dark matter/energy as we do about the electron.

IIRC, dark energy was discovered by accident in some NASA computer simulation or something like that. Scientists were plugging numbers into a program and kept getting back some wildly large inaccurate numbers.
Some believe it to be the "ether" through which light is conducted, similar to atmosphere that conducts sound. Nikola Tesla tried to prove its existence, again IIRC.

That is a complicated subject indeed. Basically, the speed of light is an architectural feature of spacetime. Of reality if you will. However 'c' is a local thing. In the language of relativity, it's a "null path". This is mathematical notion of the geometry of space time.
It's possible to (mathematically, of course) create "exotic spacetimes", which are valid solutions of Einstein's Field Equations, the governing equation of spacetime (and ridiculously complex. Non-linear tensor partial differential equations), in which bubbles can go faster than 'c' relative to the "normal" flat background spacetime.
Oh, hell, I shouldn't try to go on about this because it's so damn complex, I don't really understand it, and have forgotten a lot of what I did understand.
But to do this requires "exotic matter". Stuff like negative mass-energy (which may actually be possible).
Now, some of these introduce closed time-like curves, some don't. CLosed time-like curves mean time-travel.
And anyone thinks such a thing is impossible because it has to be.
When a spacetime allows this, it becomes
acausal. And this means, literally, "anything can happen". The evolution of the spacetime cannot be predicted by the initial conditions. Literally, anything could happen.
Reality would break down.
So, we have the situation where General Relativity, and the EFE allow for these crazy solutions to exist, but no one has figured out any physical laws that should prevent them, other than exotic matter is hard to find.

The root problem is that by making the intentional infliction of death an accepted medical procedure, you've opened up a can of worms that results in killing babies, the elderly with dementia, people who simply just don't want to live, and even the killing of people who are shouting that they don't want to die as they are held down and killed.
It's one thing to inject pain medication with the sole purpose of relieving pain, and killing off people who want to live, or not able to understand what is happening to them.

Not just that, but once the culture accepts that some lives are no longer worth living, then it's easy to decide that some of the living are unworthy of life, and pressure is placed on them to end it. Grandma and Grandpa hanging on and spending your inheritance? Really, how selfish of them. Got a mentally disabled son? Aren't you really just making him suffer needlessly? It's already gone from "end of life" to something used when your "quality" of life is not what society deems it to be. And sure as shit, you'll see people denied medical care because an OD of painkillers is cheaper.

That's what I like to think, based on not much more than "That would be neat!".
since the "speed" of light is more of an asymptotic limit than a hard "barrier" with an activation energy, I like to imagine it's almost like a point-at-infinity in a compactified manifold, where if you were to conceptually go "past infinity", you're actually travelling back in to the manifold the way you came but with your entropic time-arrow flipped.
the "manifold" in this case wouldn't be the normal Minkowski/Riemann spacetime but some bizarro world where the metric is in velocity and time (a velocitytime manifold?), so not orthogonal, so don't even bother thinking about it as a real physical model. Just a goofy thought, is all.

Einstein called the Cosmological COnstant his greatest blunder. But even when he blundered, turned out he was on to something.
Again, the c speed limit is an architectural feature of spacetime. EM radiation (and gravitational radiation) and propagation of anything massless in quantum language travels at c, because that's what the architecture of spacetime depends not the other way.
Light travels at c because of spacetime, not spacetime has the limit of 'c' because of the way EM behaves.
Of the following three, pick any two:
1) Relativity
2) FTL
3) Causality
You can have only two, not all three.

There are many legitimate inconsistencies and red flags from that day. The facts and truth get stronger over time, lies and narratives break down.
I know you have seen these red flags the autists have found. 100% black tinted windows. Different driver with no glasses and a square jaw. Different car. Time stamped digital footprint of 9:59pm on August 12th. The list goes on.
Now each red flag can be plausibly explained away, but once you reach a certain level of red flags/inconsistencies then the narrative falls apart.
I don't have any idea what went on, but I do know it stinks with a shit ton of smoke.

Wrong kind of glass. Rear windows are made of a single layer of tempered glass; the kind of glass that explodes into a myriad of pea-sized grains if it gets broken. But because it's only one layer, the heat from the grid can pass through the glass.
Windshields are made from safety glass, with two thin layers of glass bonded to an inner layer of gummy plastic. That gummy plastic would make a thermal barrier to heat from the grid.

Kim Jong Un warns he could change his mind if the U.S. persists in 'extremely dangerous reckless actions'

SEOUL - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has decided not to launch a threatened missile attack on Guam, Pyongyang's state media reported on Tuesday, but warned that he could change his mind "if the Yankees persist in their extremely dangerous reckless actions."
It seems that Kim Phat One has learned that, when playing cards, always find out what Trump is.

Sure, gravity compresses space. So, when a massive object moves out of an area, the space expands. When the object is massive enough, space expands faster than the speed of light, and the matter and energy trapped on the treadmill is basically unreachable, unseeable and, for lack of a better term, dark. sort of.
At least was the answer I gave on my Anthropology final. Mostly because I didn't read the book on cultural mores of the Faeroise.

People are terrible, terrible drivers when they only have to think in two-dimensional terms. Put a third dimension in the mix, and it will only get worse. Exponentially worse.
Consider something I'm sure you've all seen on the road. A rusted-out 1978 Saab, with its muffler held on by a wire coat-hanger, stalling out in an intersection.
If we had flying cars, that clunker would then plummet to the ground, killing everyone in the car as well as anyone unfortunate enough to be standing anywhere near the impact point when it hits said ground.

There was originally not much "empirical" about General Relativity. It was using a different kind of geometry to look at the Universe. And to explain phenomenon that Newtonian physics did not explain.
By the beginning of the 20th century, there were all kinds of problems with Newtonian Mechanics, but nobody knew the answer.
After publishing General Relativity, Einstein also proposed several experiments to prove it correct, or he then said, it must all be thrown into the ashbin.
One of them took years before the conditions were right for testing it (I think it was a solar occultation by Mercury), and measuring the amount that light was "bent" by that.
Einstein was humble enough and honest enough that he knew his Theory would fall if the experimental results failed.

I wonder too. I think they've been trying a lot of things that aren't working.
The personal attacks on Trump over Charlottesville are a poor echo of the campaign attacks that Trump was an anti-semite and racist. Trump even did a reprise of his "slow denouncement" to make the opposition look stupid. "You didn't say it fast enough." Blow me.
Russia, Russia, Russia is played.
The Left is frustrated that Trump's base is so solid. It's not a Majority, but it's a big solid plurality. If he builds on that, the Ds and the Left are fucked.

Which leads right into the idea of "inspections", of course. You'd almost have to make some kind of on-board diagnostics that would disable the vehicle if it sensed anything wrong. I don't even like driving on roads with these hoopty ass wrecks some people drive around in, blatantly uninspected, parts falling right the hell off in front of me.
Now that hoopty ass wreck falls from 500ft and lands on my head because "Dude, I'll fix it next week, just get off my case already" or "Ohhhh, i knoooowwww, but i'm just so buusssssyyy" ?

I have always liked Dire Straits. First favorite song of theirs was "Down to the Waterline", on the flip side of "Sultans of Swing"
Saw them live at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls (home of Chrissy Hynde) in 1985, which is a great outdoor amphitheater. One of the best live shows I ever saw.

Better if you could just stop The Great War. That was the death knell of Western Civilization. It destroyed most of good ideals and myths the West was built on.
If you could go back in time and show, LLoyd George, Kaiser Wilhelm and all the rest what the War would do, they would do anything to avoid it. The Great War was to Europe like the Peloponesian War was to Athens. Started with great enthusiasm, ended in disaster.
Since them, the West has been running on fumes, and the momentum of the United States. The United States is falling prey to all the philosophical sickness of the rest of the West, now.

Wrong kind of glass. Rear windows are made of a single layer of tempered glass; the kind of glass that explodes into a myriad of pea-sized grains if it gets broken. But because it's only one layer, the heat from the grid can pass through the glass.
Windshields are made from safety glass, with two thin layers of glass bonded to an inner layer of gummy plastic. That gummy plastic would make a thermal barrier to heat from the grid.

Yeah man. "Thermite" is more of a generic classification of explosive reactions between two dissimilar metals (Fe and Al being the most easily obtained). It's a very "slow" explosion, still on the ms scale, but super hot and lasts a while which made it good for punching ductile armor.
I was just joking around, but obviously, don't dick around with unfamiliar chemicals. And if you do manage to mix finely ground iron and finely ground aluminum together... actually, no "if". Just don't.

They never cite the odds of dying in a plane crash vs. dying in a car crash, obviously.
They just demonstrate that plane crashes are wayyyyy less common than car crashes.

The thermite reaction is between iron oxide and aluminum. Not between metallic iron and metallic aluminum. Aluminum is so eager to become aluminum oxide that it will reduce iron oxide to metallic iron to do it. I have made thermite. It's not explosive at all. It just "burns" very, very hot, and exudes white hot molten iron. And it pretty much takes some pyrotechnic device to get it ignited, too.

It's interesting however that Knopfler went so long with the track... about eight and a half minutes, I believe. And if you listen closely, at one point there's something of a military-march sound in the background deep in the mix.

Three days after Donald Trump named his campaign foreign policy team in March 2016, the youngest of the new advisers sent an email to seven campaign officials with the subject line: "Meeting with Russian Leadership - Including Putin."
The adviser, George Papadopoulos, offered to set up "a meeting between us and the Russian leadership to discuss US-Russia ties under President Trump," telling them his Russian contacts welcomed the opportunity, according to internal campaign emails read to The Washington Post.
The proposal sent a ripple of concern through campaign headquarters in Trump Tower. Campaign co-chairman Sam Clovis wrote that he thought NATO allies should be consulted before any plans were made. Another Trump adviser, retired Navy Rear Adm. Charles Kubic, cited legal concerns, including a possible violation of U.S. sanctions against Russia and of the Logan Act, which prohibits U.S. citizens from unauthorized negotiation with foreign governments.
But Papadopoulos, a campaign volunteer with scant foreign policy experience, persisted. Between March and September, the self-described energy consultant sent at least a half-dozen requests for Trump, as he turned from primary candidate to party nominee, or for members of his team to meet with Russian officials. Among those to express concern about the effort was then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who rejected in May 2016 a proposal from Papadopoulos for Trump to do so.
The exchanges are among more than 20,000 pages of documents the Trump campaign turned over to congressional committees this month after review by White House and defense lawyers. The selection of Papadopoulos's emails were read to The Post by a person with access to them. Two other people with access to the emails confirmed the general tone of the exchanges and some specific passages within them.

Limited market (below zero winter is pretty short in most of the US) and cost as an option. The cheap versions on the rear window are visible wires that would suck on a windshield.
I know that Landrover has it as an option on some of their upper end models. A very fine filament screen sandwiched in between two pieces of glass.

Multiple senior Microsoft officials told me at the time that the issues were all Intel's fault, and that the microprocessor giant had delivered its buggiest-ever product in the "Skylake" generation chipsets. Microsoft, first out of the gate with Skylake chips, thus got caught up by this unreliability, leading to a falling out with Intel. Microsoft's recent ARM push with Windows 10 is a result of that falling out; the software giant believes that Intel needs a counter to its dominance and that, as of late 2016, AMD simply wasn't up to the task.
Since then, however, another trusted source at Microsoft has provided with a different take on this story. Microsoft, I'm told, fabricated the story about Intel being at fault. The real problem was Surface-specific custom drivers and settings that the Microsoft hardware team cooked up.
The Skylake fiasco came to a head internally when Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella met with Lenovo last year and asked the firm, then the world's biggest maker of PCs, how it was dealing with the Skylake reliability issues. Lenovo was confused. No one was having any issues, he was told. I assume this led to some interesting conversations between the members of the Microsoft senior leadership team.

Charlottesville Director of Communications Miriam Dickler told Breitbart News in an email that "no stand down orders were given on Saturday."
Dickler responded, "There were physical barricades to allow for separation and safety of those with opposing views, but ultimately the decision of where to collect is up to individuals."
http://tinyurl.com/ybszqul9
Two things.
She only denied that stand down orders were given on Saturday. This would not preclude that the police were told earlier than Saturday that they should not stop any violence unless they were given orders to "stand up."
Also physical barriers do not do much of anything unless manned by police, in force, who prevent anyone from getting through them. The only people who would be deterred by simple barriers would be those who would not be a problem anyways. The last part means that the Mayor and Police Chief didn't really care where the antifa people went. They did however direct where the other side would be allowed to go and what route they would have to follow. Routes which led them right into the antifa mobs.

Yep. Welcome to the world of my part time gig.
You have to be:
1. Stupider than the boss to get ahead.
2. You have to suck up to the boss to get ahead.
3. If you can, you should date and f*ck his daughter
4. You have to appear to be stupider than the boss at all times when at work.
The theory I've read is that they CANNOT promote competent people, because they are the ones that make the business profitable. Instead, they promote the stupid people who don't work hard, and put them in positions where working hard isn't needed.

Now, me, I'm on a well, which means water is dependent on electric service. When the power goes out in the shower, I've got just a few gallons in the draw down on the pressure tank before water pressure is gone.

Ah, but they do.
The MSM, the fourth column of our government, supports them 100%
Elected Democrats both locally and nationally support them 100%
Leftists support them 100%
Law enforcement both locally and nationally supports them 100%
By NOT stopping them, I'd say the DOJ supports them 100%
As for elected Republicans, I'd say 60% look other other way that them, which to me, is the same as support.
When you have that many people in government and on the street supporting you, YOU decide what is acceptable and what is not.
And when someone says something wrong, and you punish them, you get away with it.

Great back-up for those dark showers.
I'm getting sick of hearing from Generac on the late-nite 1-800 TV, about how their whole-house generator is going to keep Civilisation alive, at my house only, whilst all those around me are plunged into the outer darkness, shit having hit fan.
In rare instances, natural gas finds its own way into a pipeline, at natural pressure. For most of us, it's pumped in there, and about the same time the telephone switchboard operators give it up and go on home to die, the NG infrastructure is going to quit, too.
Also, they boast of their 5000 dealers with service. Y'right, my local one took over a year to come out to write an estimate, this was last year, and they have not been back with their proposal, so I'm real trusting about how realiable they're going to be during a holocaust.
And, if you act now, you get the first year maintenance for free,worth over $1300. That's right folks, after you spend 15-20 K's for this little automatic system, it's over $100 a month to keep it working. Some frickin yuppie's jagoff pipedream of Prepping(!). I'd rather shovel coal.

Blow Up was '66:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060176/
That was the first movie shown in the US that violated the old production code, I think I was reading. Hollywood self-censored to keep govt from doing it.
There was an old Supreme Court ruling that said, get this, the 1st Amendment didn't apply to movies.
If you can see some of the old pre-Code movies, and there are some that survive, you can see they were getting pretty racy.
There was backlash, and the Code was the result.
Since then, of course, the Supremes reversed it, thank God.

It was so controversial, and such a flop, that from what I've read it pretty much ruined Tod Browning's career.
I've seen it. I wouldn't call it great, and there's some really awkward camera angles and other issues with it, but IMHO it's sort of a "coming of age" film for cinema; i.e., trying to figure out how the format should work versus what didn't work.

I liked the audio version re-make with Travolta, but you know what? The studio tech in that is as foreign to modern sound processors as the film in the photographer story is, or, dare one say it, those mounds of sixties bush.

Good suggestion, Misanthropic. As we give to others, perhaps in our time of need, we may find Love and Charity.
Be bigger than your petty quarrels. Offer grace and apologize instead of being a "Right-Fighter".
Kneel before God and accept your own failings before you point the finger at others' failures.
This is not to say that you shouldn't have judgement. While we cannot ultimately judge those before us, we can certainly use judgement in our daily lives.
The reality of "disgrace" should be left to the individual that experiences it for all its Truth. They are to be left to experience it over and over until its experience has become Truth or their own version of visceral fiction.
As "shame" has become something that we are discouraged from emitting in public, perhaps we should show its light in private. The beacon of light that makes a cockroach scurry is essential in keeping darkness away.
We pardon injury; as we show Faith.
-Be a volunteer if you need Faith. I believe that doing for others will bolster your Soul.

There was a big thing, particularly among filmmakers in the 1960s, about "exploring the nature of reality." I think even Kubrick was thinking about it while he was making 2001.
Another film that's supposedly a lot about this subject, is Persona from 1967, where the film when... the camera is turned around, showing the production crew. It's one of these flicks I wanted to see at one time, but the more I read about it, the less I understand anything about it.

Hi. I'm in for a minute or two.
I've just plowed through 100s of comments. Because it's all so -- Moron Hordely -- or something.
So many comments I might've chimed in with response, were I not hours behind. Here's one I remember: power out shower etc:
I have a vivid memory of when I was very young and a storm knocked out the electricity. After the storm passed, Mom lit a bunch of candles and stuck me in the tub in her bathroom, which bathtub I don't ever remember using before or after.
I splashed around and played with the bubbles and after a while Mom came in and started blowing out candles. I had a moment of concern, asked her why she was doing that. She replied, the electric's back on. I looked at the lights --- oh, yeah.
Funny the things one remembers umpty decades later.

Michelangelo Antonioni offered little in the way of insight into his intentions with the film, and was always clear that meaning wasn't meant to be spelled out. "By developing with enlargers...things emerge that we probably don't see with the naked eye... The photographer in Blow-Up, who is not a philosopher, wants to see things closer up. But it so happens that, by enlarging too far, the object itself decomposes and disappears. Hence there's a moment in which we grasp reality, but then the moment passes. This was in part the meaning of Blow-Up."
Michelangelo Antonioni felt that the film marked a "radical" departure from his previous films. "In my other films, I have tried to probe the relationship between one person and another--most often, their love relationship, the fragility of their feelings, and so on. But in this film, none of these themes matters. Here, the relationship is between an individual and reality--those things that are around him. There are no love stories in this film, even though we see relations between men and women. The experience of the protagonist is not a sentimental nor an amorous one but rather, one regarding his relationship with the world, with the things he finds in front of him. He is a photographer. One day, he photographs two people in a park, an element of reality that appears real. And it is. But reality has a quality of freedom about it that is hard to explain. This film, perhaps, is like Zen; the moment you explain it, you betray it. I mean, a film you can explain in words, is not a real film."
Michelangelo Antonioni said that he was aiming for a sense of "cold, calculated sensuality." He tried to help capture that feeling by using what he called "enhanced" or the "hardest and most aggressive" of colors. It was part of his vision to "recreate reality in an abstract form. I wanted to question 'the reality of our experience,'" he said. "This is an essential point in the visual aspect of the film, considering that one of its main themes is to see or not to see the correct value of things."

Sometimes that made sense; Bonnie & Clyde came out literally only weeks after he began writing reviews, I believe. But it's obvious he was also trying to ingratiate himself with Hollywood's cutting-edge counterculture 'art' community, and even made a flick like that of his own, "Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls" in 1969.

Those tapes were *not* compact, and the players were huge and noisy.
We used them in a college course I took.

Wait! I think, when we had our horrible attempt at videography business, back in the mid-70s, UMatic was the format we were using to distribute to TV stations.
Our "portable" cam was attached to a shoulder pack that recorded 1/2" reel-to-reel vid. B&W.
Sold all that stuff when things collapsed.
Would like to have some of those "lost format" materials rematerialize miraculously. We did some good stuff. Early music videos.

Mid-1970s was a long, long time ago.

I don't think that really changed until about the mid 1980s, when this idea that bartenders needed to "watch the customers" started to really take shape.
Posted by: qdpsteve at August 15, 2017 02:25 AM (eMKNe)
++++
The "idea" came about after some lawsuits in which the bar/bartender were held responsible for what happened when someone went out, drove drunk, and someone ended up dead or injured. Since the lawsuits were successful, insurance companies jacked the liability rates. So, in order to stay in business, the bars were forced to accede to the demands of the insurance companies and refuse to serve those who were "too drunk".

But I still recall from reading Stereo Review at the time, RIAA repeated like a mantra: "You can make a perfect copy of a perfect copy of a perfect copy. What's to stop this technology from causing piracy to go through the roof?"
They were absolutely convinced their customers were all out to rip them off 'til there was nothing left, then went whole hog on "digital rights management" (I forget the actual term they used to use) where customers ended up getting punished, even when they *bought* the damn CDs and DATs. Thank God there was a ton of pushback about that in the 1990s and 2000s, btw.

As I understand it, it all got fixed with inexpensive digital downloading and strengthened piracy laws, which is fine. But, people should have been able to purchase affordable DAT recorders. I personally believe the format could have taken off, if only there wasn't so much interference from the usual suspects in getting the products to the general market. Maybe I'm crazy or misremembering though.

- There's been a ton of consolidation in the recording industry and today there's only really two or three major labels: Sony/Columbia, Universal, and (I think) Capitol, who's probably merged with someone else as well.
- It's a rarity for most bands to get a contract from anyone anymore. Most bands are marketing their music directly to the streaming companies, starting up their own websites where you can get their music, and pressing their own CDs/LPs.

Perhaps that was true when people were on dial-up, but there has been a growing interest in albums, specifically as more than just a collection of songs.
The album is still an art-form. A lot of bands are pushing vinyl (with DRM-free digital downloads in addition thereto) at $20-30 per. The ability to sell the album art on the album as more than some small picture on a phone is worth something, and increasingly so.

Creating music for recordings has become all but completely demonetized. Sure, you can go on the road and sell CDs and t-shirts, but you *have* to go on the road. Even Donald Fagen has said as much.

The industry didn't come back, but the music did. As much as I hate to give them credit, YouTube and similar offering introduced people to a plethora of good music that no major record company, streaming service, or radio would ever play.
I'm now a big fan of dozens of bands that I was introduced to via YouTube's sidebar. Even though I could listen to their entire song output on YouTube, I've nonetheless gone out of my way to see these bands live when possible and buy their merch (from t-shirts to albums to whatever).
Back in the dark days of the '90's, when good music died (RIP Headbangers Ball and KNAC) and there wasn't an alternative source for up-and coming bands... or even established bands anymore. Then Napster came about, and FTP sites, then torrents, and finally YouTube and other avenues that allowed bands to connect directly to fans and for fans to share great music.

I knew him and used to DJ with him at KLBC, the barely-listened to student station at Long Beach City College, in the mid 1980s.

The digital music is just the loss leader for the shows and the merch they sell.
Honestly, I love the fact that these bands not only have to tour, but have to put on a kick-ass show.
I remember all to well when bands would just go through the motions at concerts. Now, they really have to deliver. A lot of the super-groups and other huge bands would never cut it today with their live set like in the '70's for example.

Been so long. KNAC 105.5 struggled into the early '90's as they went to Grunge et al.
Finally, when KNAC was going to be shut down, they had a chance to be awesome again.
The last song they played before sign-off?
Metallica's "Fade To Black".
KNAC dying (and the Grunge strangulation before that) as well as Headbanger's Ball being unceremoniously and unexpectedly cancelled, meant that there was no way to know what was going on in Metal during the mid-'90's.
All the magazines had died or disappeared from shelves. All the old networks of tape-trading were gone. Aside from people sharing the odd discovery at the old Tower Records (and I'm grateful that for so long they took a chance with so much non-mainstream stuff), there was nothing until the internet really exploded in the late '90's and people became capable of grabbing music off the internet.

Posted by: qdpsteve at August 15, 2017 03:12 AM
Yes. But also, as you mentioned, they're not really buying anything much anymore, LP or no LP. You should be able to make good coin, just from singles, which even back in the heyday of albums, was what really drove the market. Not as much as singles plus album sales combined, but still healthy, if the single is good. There are other factors involved, not just the non paid for download and decline of the album.
One of these major contributors is an actual lack of discernment by the public. Shit sells. But it is largely unsustainable for the "artist", because there's too much other shit to compete with. You can't maintain momentum in singles sales. It's a race to the bottom in quality. People can record great singles, but you might get lucky with one, but forget about follow up. I hate to say it, but kids these days... they're downloading utter, utter shit. The Beatles wouldn't make it today, even with their track record of monster singles.
Basically, the music industry has been reduced to novelty tracks. Some shit the kids hear at a club and download it. Then theat artist is finished, as the next shit novelty replaces it.

We have never ha a school board meeting here that lowered my taxes. This is even after the state jacked up sales taxes and removed the school tax from the property tax. The county simply raised property taxes the same amount as what the school tax had been. So I got the double whammy. When I first bought my house tghe total property taxes were $200/year. They are now over $1,000/year.

"In truth, my ancestors are guilty of some of the most heinous sins in the history of mankind. They were complicit in the genocide of Native Americans. They were complicit in the enslavement of millions of Africans. They were directly involved in a culture based on racial discrimination. They were, in short, Americans."

I actually had Bangers and Mash at a nice Irish Pub last night for supper.
Excellent Mash.
Not as good as Mish.
But pretty damn good potatoes.

Lomonosov
Moscow State University, one of Stalin's Seven Sisters
(skyscrapers). We vacationed in Moscow a few weeks ago - it was
beautiful. Seriously!
I tried to peddle some strategic US uranium in exchange for a hefty contribution to my Global Initiave slush fund, but someone already beat me to that.
