Quotes of The Day

Quote I

Men can starve from a lack of self-realization as much as they can from a lack of bread. Richard Wright


Quote II

The Republican leadership thinks the best way to avoid losing elections is to let the Democrats win every controversial issue. Rush Limbaugh


Quote III

First rule of change is controversy. You can't get away from it for the simple reason all issues are controversial. Change means movement, and movement means friction, and friction means heat, and heat means controversy. Saul Alinsky


Quote IV

As a strong supporter of our 2nd Amendment rights, I believe tougher enforcement of our nation's existing gun laws must be done before any more laws are enacted and put on the books. Jeff Miller

Unless you've been off the grid or hiding under a rock, you know a solar eclipse is forthcoming. You can view it even without the fancy-shmancy glasses. You can make your own viewing gadgets.

The pinhole image offers two advantages over a converging lens. First, anyone can make one. You don't need a piece of glass (or plastic) and you don't have to worry about the shape. It's just a hole. Second, the resulting image doesn't have a focal point. No matter where you put the screen, you see a clear image. The big disadvantage of a pinhole is light. Since the hole is very small, it only lets a small amount of light through.

How do animals react to a solar eclipse?

Terry Terry McAuliffe (D-VA) utters rhetoric bullshit.

Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe defended the actions taken Saturday by state and local law enforcement in response to clashes between white nationalist protesters and counter-protesters in Charlottesville, VA.

McAuliffe told The New York Times in an impromptu street interview Sunday morning that police in Charlottesville did their best considering the circumstances.

“It’s easy to criticize, but I can tell you this, 80% of the people here had semiautomatic weapons," McAuliffe said.

Not to get into the right and wrong of what happened this past Saturday. But, VA citizens were exercising their gun rights under VA law and from the reports continued to obey the gun laws after chaos broke out.

*****

Hmmmm. VA State Police think their Governor is full of shit as well.

"No, the State Police did not have inferior equipment," Corinne Geller, Virginia State Police public relations manager, told the Free Beacon. "Our personnel are equipped, and were equipped, with the necessary protective and tactical gear for their safety and, obviously, to protect those that were in attendance of the event."

And if their equipment was really inferior, that is sad commentary on the state of Virginia and how they fund their State Police.

Even a Green Bay Packer fan can cheer for Pittsburgh Steeler James Harrison.

“The first tweet from Roenick to his 380,000-plus followers was a screen grab of a story from lockerdome.com that featured the headline: Steelers’ James Harrison — ‘Anyone On My Team Sits For Anthem, They Better Be In A Wheelchair‘, according to the tweet which shared a story on the comment Harrison allegedly said, as reported by Lockerdome.

Are you fed up with the NFL? Are you fed up with the networks who televise the NFL and show front and center the malcontents? Well if you are fed up, PISS ON YOU, according to NFL Commish Roger Goodell.

And speaking of malcontents, Why is Colin Kaeperdick still unemployed?

Now, let’s return the kaleidoscope to its present position, in which we can clearly see Colin Kaepernick. Is it not easier now to understand why NFL owners do not wish to sign him despite his abilities? They realize that they aren’t signing a quarterback. They are signing a cause that may insist on a free commercial in front of millions every Sunday afternoon (and then be amplified by media throughout the week). There is a lot more involved than just money available under the salary cap.


*****

A chip on your shoulder is one thing. A chip on your vagina? Well that's another. Science of white men should be dismissed.

A physics researcher at the University of Washington says the controversial Google memo is just the latest example of “shoddy science” that is “conducted primarily by white men.”

“It’s 2017, and to some extent scientific literature still supports a patriarchal view that ranks a man’s intellect above a woman’s,” physics Research Associate Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein complained in a Slate op-ed last week, written in response to the memo in which former Google employee James Damore criticized the company’s efforts to effect gender diversity.

*****

Sen. Pat Roberts (R Squish-KS) comes under fire back home for his incompetence.

Roberts didn’t rule out voting to eliminate the filibuster, but he warned that such a move could ultimately benefit Democrats if they are able to win back control of the Senate in 2018 or 2020.
“You do that and if the Senate flips, look out,” Roberts said.

*****

National Security Adviser, H. R. McMaster, should go. Why? If Sen John McCain (R-AZ) defends you, you need to go.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is defending national security adviser H.R. McMaster, who has been under withering attack from right-wing media outlets worried that he’s purging conservatives from the National Security Council (NSC).

In a statement, McCain took aim at what he described as “alt-right” news outlets using “smear tactics” against McMaster.

McCain likened McMaster’s critics to the racist protesters that gathered in Virginia over the weekend, calling the right-wing media outlets the “same purveyors of hatred and ignorance who precipitated the recent violence in Charlottesville.”

August 15, 1969, Woodstock Festival was held on Max Yasgur's 600 acre farm in Bethel outside New York. Attended by over 400,000 people, the event featured, Jimi Hendrix, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Santana, The Who, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, The Band, Canned Heat, Joan Baez, Melanie, Ten Years After, Sly and the Family Stone, Johnny Winter, Jefferson Airplane, Ravi Shanker, Country Joe and the Fish, Blood Sweat and Tears, Arlo Guthrie, and Joe Cocker. During the three days there were three deaths, two births and four miscarriages. viathisdayinmusic.com

The ONT is always looking out for the health and welfare of The Horde.Please have yourself a beer. For clarity's sake.

Researchers at the University of Graz in Austria have released findings from a study that say mild alcohol intoxication helps lead to mental clarity and to spark creative thought.

Seventy volunteers between the ages of 19 and 32 were given both alcohol-free and regular beer before taking a series of tests. The experiment showed volunteers performing better on a word problem test after drinking a pint of beer than they did after drinking the non-alcoholic drinks. The researchers did note, however, concentration and memory issues were apparent during other skill tests.

Do you travel? If you do, do you think of what the meaning is behind the location you are at or going to? For example my state's translation is "Colder than a witches' breast.

The discovery of the “New World” has been written about extensively but what can sometimes be forgotten is how states and areas became known for what they are now.

Many derive from indigenous languages of the Americas. Alaska for example is derived from the Yupik word, “Alyeska”, an idiom from the Aleut people andKansas comes from the Native American Sioux language.

Others come from an individual person — Georgia from King George II and Louisiana from King Louis XIV.

We’ve taken the names of all U.S. states and Canadian provinces and territories, and put them into one map along with their translation or origin. They offer a unique insight into the forgotten history of the continent and may teach something new about your home

ESPN continues to hemorrhage viewers and income. Now, Hollywood is losing attendance and money.

A summer movie slate stacked with remakes, reboots, and sequels has helped produce a disappointing domestic box office decline of 12 percent over the same time period last year.
The North American box office took in an estimated $3.43 billion from May to date, according to data from comScore and Box Office Mojo — down 12 percent from the $3.9 billion made this time last year.

531 Here's a potentially controversial question. Is anyone aware of what has driven age of consent laws over time? A recent thought I had is that once upon a time people got married and started families at relatively young ages, due in part to lower life expectancy so you had to get busy sooner if you wanted to reproduce, and also because of being in agrarian societies in which you needed as many bodies as possible for the purpose of labor. Also, possibly because females weren't necessarily considered as valuable in a society driven by manual labor, there was the incentive to move them to someone else's household as early as possible. I wonder if as society moved from agrarian to industrial, cultural mores changed in part to reflect economic realities as well. Just ruminating, but I do think it's interesting to consider. Anybody have any knowledge on this?

The age of consent originally didn't refer to sex, merely the age at which you could consent to marriage. It meant that you understood what your vows meant and took them freely. Hence why it's fluctuated from as low as 12 to as high as 18. Now, the actual age of marriage was often higher than the age of consent (young marriages have historically been the province of the wealthy), and young women generally married between 16 and their mid twenties, depending on the era.

Actually, in Europe at least, the wealthy were more likely to marry young than the poorer classes. Doweries were designed to ensure that the young couple had means to support themselves, especially the wife if her husband died. This put a significant burden on poor families, and as a result daughters often didn't marry until later.

It is getting younger and younger. Look up the stats for average age of puberty.

72 Yeah, the NFL is sort of a careening group of flaming car wrecks right now, with clowns with flaming clown boners spilling out (recall this immortal ace poetry?).

Trying to fathom the thinking. It was startling enough last year, when the biggest team sport/sport most associated with overt patriotism and heartland values/customs/culture did their bizarre toe-dip into social-protest histrionics.

Everybody said that's why viewership is down; then apparently surveys confirmed this. Then ..... they double down?

Would love (really, only for this particular issue) to be a fly on the wall at the owners' next meeting. WTFF?

The contemptible - and revealing - craven irresponsibility of the Fortune 100 on this repellent and idiotic SJW crap is discouraging enough. The NFL case just seems inexplicable.

83 Greetings:

For what it's worth, here's my take on Mr. Kaepernick's predicament.

The Law of Hospitality requires that when visiting another's castle one does not assume the rights of the Lord of the Manor. Neither does one "kick up dust". If offended, even less than grievously, one leaves.

Contracts of Employment require employees to behave in a manner that results in the acquisition and/or maintenance of customers. To act otherwise (and repeatedly) is a betrayal of trust.

These two analyses make employing Mr. Kaepernick a higher risk than usual venture.

Back in my Catholic school days, the teachings on the Sacrament of Penance included the requirement for contrition (recognition of the offense), a firm purpose of amendment, and avoidance of the near occasions of sin. Until Mr. Kaepernick demonstrates such, I wouldn't touch him with a ten-foot pole.

103 Is anyone aware of what has driven age of consent laws over time?

I'm thinking that the changing age of puberty (i.e., it's getting lower due to improved nutrition) might have something to do with it. Records indicate that the average age of girls at menarche in Norway in 1830 was 17; it was 14 in the United States in 1910, which is when records began to be kept in most states. The median age for American girls (white and Hispanic) is now 12 years 5 months, with black girls a full year younger. Another factor that affects sexual maturity is body mass index, at least in females; the higher the BMI, the greater the likelihood of early maturity.

From what I could find out, the older age-of-consent laws were intended to protect girls from much older males rather than to prevent boys and girls of the same age from having a relationship.

At present, the rise of international sex tourism and the widespread use of the Internet by adults to groom children under 12 for sexual encounters seem to be the major factors driving changes in age-of-consent laws.

116 Babies and children - infant mortality was pretty high. All kinds of illnesses and sicknesses we don't even think about today were deadly. So families were large, 8 to 10 kids was not unusual at all. The idea was, as well, before social welfare nets, that the kids would help take care of the elderly. Three generations living under one roof wasn't unusual either.

Inheritance was different. I read a fascinating lengthy article in the Atlantic or something like that, in a doctors office or wherever on Debtors prisons. They were once common in America. There were different types, depending on whether the debt was unsecured or secured iirc.

Another angle on inheritance/heirs. In those days, children inherited the debts too. Puts a different spin on things when discussing that era. In some ways, I would expect most honorable men would have avoided racking up debt, so that was a way of encouraging a work ethic. Indentured servitude was also a big thing.

I watched the entire thing at C-Span, and it was not "off-the-rails" and at no time did he "defend racists". CNN evidently defines "racists" as anyone who is against burning Mount Vernon to the ground.

Trump did accurately blame violence on both the armed neo-Nazis and armed neo-Commies. That is just fact.

142 I do believe the average is dropping, but I doubt the average age of menarche was ever 17 years old.

My grandmother had a child at 13, and all my daddy's sisters had kids well before they were 18. '

Mind you, they were all petite little things, so they were probably earlier than average. (Puberty in women is triggered by height to weight ratio)

I'd say 14 was closer to the historical average. It's closer to 12 now days, iirc. I think hormones in food is a factor, but so is childhood obesity.

152 >> What's the driver? Nutrition? Hormones in the

All of the above. It's linked to increasing fat, ie our children are getting fatter. And then endocrine disruptors likely play a role too.

The puberty distribution is a rough Gaussian, and an average of 12.5 pushed the left tail to very early ages. 7 and 8 yr old girls starting to develop.

They used to call this "precocious puberty", but now it's becoming more common. When an 11 yr. old looks like she's 16, there's gonna be problems and that is getting more and more common.

Bob Dylan and the Band in 1967. They made a bunch of home recordings that were never intended for public release, but other musicians heard them and they were very influential. Those recordings were also among the first bootlegs. They became known as the "Basement Tapes".

That was at a time when everyone else was playing psychedelic music.

169 Also interesting, but this seems to have swung around a bit as to the latter part, no?

That's probably because the boys are maturing earlier, too. There was an article in the Smithsonian some years back about women who successfully disguised themselves as men and served in both the Union and Confederate armies during the Civil War. One reason they were not detected at enlistment was that volunteers were not required to strip completely as they were for army physicals in later wars. Second, the later age of male puberty in the 1860s meant that nobody thought too much about a soldier who didn't need to shave or spoke in an alto register. Many of these women soldiers were discovered only when they were wounded on the battlefield and the surgeon started to remove their clothing.

That average age of menarche of 16.6 in 1860 comes from European data. Denmark or something. Look it up.

IIRC, they think that average age rose during the dark ages. In Roman times, it was likely lower, closer to 14 or so, and then rose, then started to come back down.

And I remember some dirt poor malnourished girls in China had menarche pushing 20 back whenever.

192 The country rock phenomenon was definitely advanced by Graham Parsons, but I don't think he started it.

Interestingly while Dylan started the "electric" phase of "folk rock" (sort of) in '65 - by '68 everybody was going full bore psychedelia and all the weirdo stuff. But groups like The Band, and Dylan, were now more country or, Americana flavored. The Byrds were a factor - especially Clarence White. One of the finest bluegrass pickers ever. You'll see him on early Andy Griffith episode, when they are recording at Floyd's Barbershop.

200 IMHO, The Golden Age of Rock was 1965-1975. That list of Woodstock acts MisHum listed above is a good example of the wide variety of music available at the time. Lots of modern genres got their start back then, most notably Progressive Rock (or Classical Rock as a lot of it was based on classical music, ala ELP). Even Top 40 was pretty varied back then, what with the Beatles alongside Steppenwolf then a love ballad.

Gen. Lee himself wanted no monuments and recommended that we all get on with our lives, such as may be had.

Have there been similar groups formed since then? i mean, didn't even

Feels like it's been primarily boy bands, auto tune stars, Disney
chicks, hip-hop, Beyonce since then. Country groups too. But rock?

229 The Dead

-
Some guy I never heard of, Warren Haynes, played a concert of Garcia/Dead music on one of Garcia's guitars with a symphony orchestra at Red Rocks and they made a movie. Although less wild than a Dead concert, it's really pretty good.

230 192 The country rock phenomenon was definitely advanced by Graham Parsons, but I don't think he started it.

Interestingly while Dylan started the "electric" phase of "folk rock" (sort of) in '65 - by '68 everybody was going full bore psychedelia and all the weirdo stuff. But groups like The Band, and Dylan, were now more country or, Americana flavored. The Byrds were a factor - especially Clarence White. One of the finest bluegrass pickers ever. You'll see him on early Andy Griffith episode, when they are recording at Floyd's Barbershop.

Lots of musicians in those days had experience with folk, country, blues, gospel, or bluegrass. They knew there was other kinds of music than rock. Hell, rock was constructed from those building blocks.

305 So, the thinking goes - you'll be dead soon. You're marginalized now, in a "psychic cage" as it were, if not a real one, and the fundamental transformation can continue incrementally.

There must be some sort of timeline that certain things are supposed to happen, maybe a 5 year plan or whatever, whenever all the movers and shakers have their meetings or whatever. Because when things don't go to plan, all the usual suspects start screaming like wounded eagles. Maybe they don't get their ontime bonus if the SECDEF isn't a tranny by such and such a date or whatever.

310 121 All of these GOP's giving legitimacy to antifa are despicable. Romney and McCain tonight. Loser mentality.


They are engaged in politically correct virtue signalling along with other establishment hacks incessantly mumbling the phrase 'there can be no equivalency'.

It is about suggesting an "equivalency". It's about the whole truth, versus a carved out portion that is used to gain political brownie points.

Left wing ANTIFA terrorists attacked people who had not attacked them. That is what the evidence shows. They have a history of violent attacks against people who simply disagree with them. These GOP clowns don't acknowledge that because they DON'T CARE about the truth.

314 Seems the 60s & 70s had real rock groups. Then what happened? Have there been similar groups formed since then? i mean, didn't even the Eagles come outta that time period? There's Bon Jovi I guess...not a huge fan of theirs.

Feels like it's been primarily boy bands, auto tune stars, Disney chicks, hip-hop, Beyonc since then. Country groups too. But rock?



Posted by: Gorilla gumdrop at August 15, 2017 10:22 PM


It depends on your definition of "rock". If by that you mean 60's-70's style, then not so much, as the 80's and 90's was a different landscape, musically. There are more around nowadays though, as the style is retro-cool now, rather than passe. It doesn't hurt that these retro inspired bands blow away the shit that gets passed off as "bands" nowadays (artificial shit), when on equal terms. Trouble is, the industry is almost totally dominated by shit creations... A small subset of youngsters are devoted to the new "classic rock style" bands, though.

317 It's not hormones in the system, or at least that's not all it is. My mom was born in 1939 and had menarche at age nine. I still think it's more the way better nutrition available, nowadays. My mom was raised on a farm with all natural beef, pork, chicken and vegetables. City kids were eating crap, comparatively speaking. Hormones are tightly regulated in our foods, by the USDA and by the free market. Genes, also, must play a part. And isn't it logical to think that the longer fertility would favor that genetic profile?

It has been documented that girls go through puberty if there isn't a father or close male relative living with them. Which makes sense of course.

388 Mid to late 60's and early 70's were one of those very rare times when Actual Musicians got a break, took the lead, and were able to drive things in the way of honest, truly creative music. They were able to reach a mass market as technology made it available, and nobody had yet figured out how to take control of it.

But then the major recording studios started to clamp down on the creativity in an attempt to maximize the profitability, and true musicians began to be replaced by people who the corps thought were more "marketable."

Leading to the system today where I have a hard time naming any honest, actual Musicians in the business anymore - all we got are Dancers, Prancers, and Performers. A bunch of trained monkeys and prancing pony's attempting to do the monkey dance for their organ grinders. But no musicians, they've all gone back into the woodwork, and whatever music they're producing is being done privately.

Nonsense. Cruz didn't say anything wrong in that interview. He did focus on the driver of the car, who I think is still believed to be a Nazi. I wish he would have called out Antifa, but his failure to mention them does not equal support.

That guy interviewing him sounded like a real bootlicker.

A bunch of trained monkeys and prancing pony's attempting to do the monkey dance for their organ grinders. But no musicians, they've all gone back into the woodwork, and whatever music they're producing is being done privately.

Down here, the live music scene is where it's at. There's still a lot of good music being made, but you need to dig a bit to find it.

Corporate Rock (or any other styles) will always be with us, sadly. Little has changed in the past 40 years or so in that regard.

Only down side: I found out my coworker is, so far, probably at least a bit of a moonbat. She has an anti-Trump coffee mug on her desk. Also she asked me today if it's okay to listen to her podcasts while I'm nearby. She said she likes to listen to... BBC World News and NPR. Bleah.

I didn't panic. I just responded, sure no problem, but is it okay if *I* bring in my portable MP3 music player? She said that's no problem as well, they don't need me to hear or answer the phone and if they need *me,* they can just waltz over to my desk. So I can drown out her daily Trumpthumping with my usual classic rock. Thank God!

Spent time at the beach here today, and a restaurant and pub in the evening.

Mood of the people with whom I conversed throughout the day.

They've already got six ounces of pressure on various triggers, so to speak.

Pro Trump. Fed up to fuck all with any brand of media.

Hoping that AntiFa will but turn up within effective range.

And they all have a dark sense of humor as regards the status of it all.

It's pretty much wall to wall, "fuck it, let's rumble" down here.

When the conservatives are all saying "fuck it, let's rumble", and are all smiling...

Those on the left, if not already hauling ass to greener pastures, are soon going to learn what "fuck it" really means.

Everyone mentions antifa, let's not forget BLM (if they were there, and I think they were) - because facts, plus it nicely gives the lie to the already outrageous implication that there is only one repugnant, RACIST element in that particular picture.

506 Mid to late 60's and early 70's were one of those very rare times when Actual Musicians got a break, took the lead, and were able to drive things in the way of honest, truly creative music. They were able to reach a mass market as technology made it available, and nobody had yet figured out how to take control of it.

But then the major recording studios started to clamp down on the creativity in an attempt to maximize the profitability, and true musicians began to be replaced by people who the corps thought were more "marketable."

Leading to the system today where I have a hard time naming any honest, actual Musicians in the business anymore - all we got are Dancers, Prancers, and Performers. A bunch of trained monkeys and prancing pony's attempting to do the monkey dance for their organ grinders. But no musicians, they've all gone back into the woodwork, and whatever music they're producing is being done privately.


Posted by: Tom Servo at August 15, 2017 11:20 PM


The Indie boom of the late 70's through to mid, maybe late 80's very much put a spanner in the works for awhile and bought some more time for creativity and musicians. You really couldn't conquer the world's markets via this almost rebellion, but it impacted the majors plans to such an extent that they had to adjust for a decade and make room. Of course they eventually absorbed it, copied it and destroyed it, by and large. I doubt that they will stand by and let it happen again, as they did when it first happened, being arrogant and oblivious to what was happening.

Fast forward to today and things are pretty much where it's comfortable for them. It was a good run while it lasted.

The Black Keys (like Chrissy Hynde and Joe Walsh) are from my home town. The " band" was guitarist and song writer Dan Arbaugh and drummer Patrick Carny. Carny got injured a couple years ago, and Arbaugh went on to form a new band (The Arcs) many productions for other artists (Cage the Elephant, e.g.), and a couple solo albums. He has a hit single with Marc Knofler. The guy seems to be one of those musical geniuses that come along once in a while.

New Yorkers need only look to Brooklyn where a plaque honoring Gen. Robert E. Lee has been affixed to a maple tree outside a church for more than 100 years.

It wont remain there for long, though.

Diocese officials announced Tuesday that they would be removing the plaque following the events in Charlottesville last weekend and renewed concerns over Confederate symbols and statues.

533 So mentioned we were having some electrical issues in the apartment last evening. Bathrooms, kitchen overheads, seem to be on the same breaker. Something tripped the breaker. When you reset the breaker everything worked unless you turned the lights on in the master bathroom, not the en suite because those are for faggots, then you heard a "pop" and everything went dark again.

Maintenance came up and replaced the breaker while we were out without checking the problem in the not en suite.
Went into the not en suite, flipped on the lights "pop", back to having an apartment in pyongyang.

Had maintenance come back up and they explained must be the ball bearings in the fixture, cause everything is ball bearings these days. He installed a new fixture, leaving the old nuts and bolts scattered in the runner.

Everything worked. Had some time to take a shower without having the feeling I was reenacting some horror movie. Left the lights in the hall bath on when I went out to run some errands.

Walked back in and noticed lots of lights were out. Went to the circuit breakers and the breaker was tripped. Reset the breaker, went to the master bath, flipped the lights to on, no problem. Went to the other bath, flipped the lights on "pop" everything is pyongyang.

So, any thoughts from the geniuses here? Guessing it is not just the breaker.

575 Y5,

You have access to the breaker box, I'm sure. Put you ear to that breaker. Do you hear a hum? My guess is there is something, what that is pulling too much current, and when you turn other stuff on when whatever the culprit is, it trips.

Typical breakers are "thermal-magnetic". They have a thermal trip mechanism, which what trips on "reasonable" overcurrents. It takes time. Then they have a magnetic trip that responds fairly instantly to very high overcurrents (7x rated, or so). This will catch shorts.

What is needed is to see how much current that circuit pulls. Turns things on and off and try to see what pulls what.

But again, rental apartment, so not you problem, really.

I'm sure you don't have access to an amprode, meters, and shit, nor you don't want to open up the breaker box to do it.

But someone who replaces a tripping breaker first thing is an idiot. Yes, breakers do fail, but that's a rare thing. Most likely the breaker is doing its job. Why does it need to do its job.

Again, demand they get someone there who knows what the hell he's doing.

579 Something is going to catch fire, Y5.

Whatever is along that circuit is tripping that breaker. It is either not grounded correctly or it is overloaded.

Since it was previously not overloaded, I'm guessing that you have a "short" within that circuit due to an ungrounded wire.

This is bad for numerous reasons, the most immediate being death.

There was an ONT post about GFCI outlets... maybe a week ago?

If water is involved in any way, (including wet people touching switches), you need to get this figured out immediately.

When a breaker trips it is due to an overload for some reason. If something is ungrounded, YOU are the ground and if the current is great enough, you'll not be able to let go of the switch and you'll tense-up and die.

You need to find the fault in the circuit, lest you be a victim. At the very least, you'll catch a shitty surprise.

591 Breakers do wear out, but they have to be getting on in age. Outlets will tend to loosen, or the wires actually, where they are terminated with the screws. It's not a bad plan to go through them and make sure they are tight. What you don't want to see is those quick connect deals where the wire is just pushed in to make the connection, or so I've heard. Loose wires means heat, and that ain't good. Clean tight electrical connections = Happy electrons.

593 Oh, and that $438 hospital bill for my gangrene treatment was the total bill, without insurance kicking in. The insurance that was covering me at the time didn't kick in a penny, because the injury that had gotten infected and gangrenous had occurred at work, so they felt it was a workman's comp issue.

But the restaurant where I'd been working decided to fire me illegally for an on-the-job injury. I was, frankly, happy to be free of that place (it really, really sucked working there, and my parents would not have allowed me to quit), so I had no interest in filing a lawsuit or anything. I just went ahead and paid that hospital bill out-of-pocket.

594 18-1, thanks for linking that.

The very first substantive, detailed first-hand report on what happened, with some geographic orientation.

The author is very precise, and careful, and doesn't pretend to know everything that happened. So we still don't know specifics about who started what, where, when - other than that there was skirmishing, apparently minor, around the exit areas.

The presence of the video cameras on the roof top is interesting. One assumes all that video will be available to DOJ.

Don't know a thing about this part of the law, but the Greensboro case, and what seems *likely* to emerge as a set of facts, and possibly what a friend sent me that had Hugh Hewitt confidently stating that the city/state might have major legal exposure, makes one wonder whether in fact this is true. Of course this might apply to *all* the parties involved, not just the permitted group.

With luck, this might turn into a bonfire for VA, C'ville, and some of the fascist/racist (antifa/BLM) elements - not to mention the lynch mob AKA political class of the country now commanding that we be hysterical about powerless invisible kooks while ignoring the continuing wave of violence and intimidation under way by those who attacked them last weekend.

Posted by: BackwardsBoy at August 16, 2017 12:08 AM

Yeah, to an extent. Things are more complicated now, but the main impact for them in this regard would be the overall devaluation of in house studio time. That hit them back during the indie boom as well, but was coupled with the impact the outside records made on the market. These days? Not so much. Of course, anybody can record anything without needing even an indie studio, but will the result register on the market? It's unlikely. The majors (or at least proxy gatekeepers) have this shit sewn up again. To sell enough to make a buck, you got to go through them and usually this involves their inhouse departments. Unless you've got the big $$$ and the resources to get the exposure they get, it's just gonna be another obscure, perhaps minor hit, that just won't make money, or get traction.

It seems a contradiction, but at this time that should be an Indie mega boom that makes the old one look like small potatoes, it's just not happening.

618 598 Y5: Same thing happened to me in an apartment almost 18 years ago now. Sudden power outages. I was at work so I never could figure out what the deal was. I'd come home and find all the clocks blinking.

Then the apartment burned down. I did not have renters insurance (it was amazing how many people who told me how cheap it was after the fact.) My Dad, the electrical engineer, in the ashes of my bedroom, pulls down a wire, snips it in half and says "This is solid core aluminum wiring! That's a hell of a fire hazard!"

You have to market yourself through social media these days. It takes a lot of time, but it can be done.

I occasionally play with a 16-y/o guitar player who's trying to get himself established. It's kinda funny since he hates social media and makes fun of other kids his age who can't live without their smartphones.

Al is fine, if handled and terminated properly. The problem was little screw terminals on devices and bad splices, just as copper to al, which will screw up.

Basically, Al is just used for feeders and larger circuits not 15 and 20A branch circuits.

And power lines are ASCR, Aluminum conductor, steel reinforced. And the funny thing is the sizes are all named after birds.

635 Yep, during the 70s when inflation first started to get going in America, copper became expensive. So aluminum was tried as a substitute for residential home wiring to keep costs down. It's not that aluminum is a bad conductor, but the interface where it meets copper doesn't always work right. It tends to "walk" or loosen over time iirc. There was some fix or NO-OX supposed to be applied or somesuch. After enough home fires it was banned, I guess. I might have those details wrong, but it was a problem. Aluminum works fine for the wires leading to the service entrance and back to the pole.

"No-Al-Ox" is a product, a AL anti-oxidant paste you should coat on terminations. Terminals needed to be rated for Al to be kosher.

Al-Co splices can be done, if you can keep the moisture out. Which is required for the galvanic action. I've seen splice kits that are supposed to allow this, but damned if I would use it.

The best ones, which I have used, have some sort of material that makes a mechanical connection, but separates the Al from the CU. THere was a type of split bolt for this, as well as butt connectors.

That's the purpose of ACSR cable. It's aluminum strands wrapped around core strands of steel. The latter provides the strength, and the former provides the conductivity.

In the large sizes, with AC skin effect, the steel core has very little effect on the AC resistance of the assembly. Because of the skin effect, you wouldn't be using the center much at all anywhere, so you don't lose much by using steel.

Federal Pacific, IIRC. Or hell, that may have been a problem with something else.

Anyway, the problem was the breaker plug on metal was incompatible with the busbar material. Or the plating. So they had a line of loadcenters that would develop galvanic corrosion on the breaker-busbar interface.

694 Infidel - not sure that personal anecdotal stuff will help but ....

17 yrs. ago I was in a similar place: Nursing my Mom through her final illness, had in fact been fired for 'too many absences and lates' due to Mom's needs; tired, angry, and depressed.

An old black lady had been my Mom's weekly maid for over 20 yrs. I couldn't afford to keep her on. When I told her so she refused to be fired - telling me she'd taken care of Mom for years and wouldn't leave. During the course of that discussion she offered a line that has stayed with me.

"You need to learn, young man," she said, "that livin' is soooo daily. You can't do it all at once - it's a daily chore."

Don't know if this'll help - best I have to offer.

I've worked in and around corporate America for decades now, and I've given it some thought. Soulless corporate entities have enthusiastically adopted this SJW crap because embracing it gives the appearance of virtue without, you know, actually doing anything truly virtuous. Virtue--real virtue, being virtuous--makes demands.

I should also point out this SJW crap has all of the trappings of a state religion. All it asks of you is that you submit and conform. Some people might find the prospect appealing.

It's too bad "The Gun Club" was already used (great band). I'll give it some thought. The name can make a massive difference. With punk, you want something that makes people think "Holy shit, we gotta go catch those guys". So, something that is witty or clever is a plus, but it doesn't have to be. Plenty of bands have used names that were just so-so, but, picking a REALLY good one can actually get you through the door at the start.

I recommend Alpha60. Alpha60 (using the Greek Alpha symbol and the numerals 6 and 0) is the name of the evil supercomputer in Goddard's film "Alphaville", which was made in 1964 and is kind of a combination film noir meets science fiction meets French New Wave surrealism, all made on a shoestring budget. The hero, Lemmy Caution, goes around shooting people for often no apparent reason. Hilarious.

Love that movie. If I could play music, I'd have a band named Alpha60.

---------------------------------
That insight grabs me.

Remember that old saying that 'liberals' think conservatives are evil while conservatives just think 'liberals' are wrong? I think that was more or less true a couple of decades ago.
But now? I think ordinary 'liberals' are downright psychotic.

When I talk to someone like my moonbat sister now, it's as if there's an object on the table that I think is an apple and she thinks is a parrot. Regardless of who is right or wrong, conversation about the object is impossible.

I have often heard Pentecost ---the apostles sudden fluency in many tongues--- explained as a sort of spiritual reversal of the Tower of Babel.
More and more it does seem that only the Spirit of God can heal the divisions in this country.

The Confederates attacked the US in their pursuit of evil, primarily to protect the slave trade. Historical revisionists can try to obscure that truth all they like, but there is no ambiguity regarding who the Good Guys and Bad Guys were.

If that offends the tender sensitivities of neo-confederate southerners, too fucking bad. I realize that many of the individual soldiers were draftees or duped, and I hold no I'll will towards them but the Confederate generals who led them volunteered.

Whatever their intentions, they fought against the US for an evil cause. They don't deserve to be honored, only forgiven.

As Trump said in his presser, 'What's next? Removing Jefferson and Washington? They owned slaves, too.'

Have you considered it is the Democrats who are removing such statues because it was they who led the Confederacy (because {GASP} a Republican won the presidency), as well as founded the KKK. Laws against wearing masks at protests were specifically targeted at the KKK. Now we have the Democrats Black T-shirt brigades wearing masks while doing their dirty work. (Some things never change.) Such memorials are blatant reminders of just who the Democrats were/are and we all know just how much Democrats loathe being reminded of their sordid past.

No, it really isn't.

Lenin wasn't as evil as Stalin, but he represented evil, anti-American values at the cost of his own people and countless others who faced the consequences of his legacy.

His statue should be torn down or moved to a museum. Same with leaders of the Confederate slavers who attacked the US, igniting a bloody war.

There is a reason to not find the first hill to die on.

Moving memorials to historical areas/museums/&c. and then accepting the falsely proffered line in the sand as holy writ can prempt the Left's true goals.

Right now there is a move to take down a statue of Taney in Maryland... even though he wasn't a Confederate.

Trump's warning about taking down memorials even to Washington have now been provided with a path forward.

Perhaps it is too late, but by relegating Confederate history to museum or similar presentations, and thus precluding advancement against all other elements of American History, we can at least buy ourselves some time to machinate to resist...

...If we are lucky.

791 They were Americans, and - like most people of the time - identified primarily as citizens of their home state

Identified as a state in the union. Confederates didn't consider themselves as American.

The union was went to extraordinary lengths to avoid war with the treasonous slavers. The US was rewarded with an unprovoked attack.

If Lincoln made a mistake, it was his leniency towards the rebel leaders, all of whom should have been hung in disgrace. In the name of peace he let them retrain a pride that was wholly unfounded.

813 I've always used a bit of neatsfoot oil and saddlesoap.

Clean the article with a cool, damp sponge, then, splash a little water into the saddlesoap and work up a lather - i use a shaving brush. Just the foam on the leather, then wipe off with a clean damp rag. Then, a very light application of neatsfoot oil with your bare hands.

815 813. For more softness, a few drops of glycerine in thw saddlesoap and water before you make the lather. Also, a really good dressing is equal parts neatsfoot oil, castor oil, fish oil, and beeswax. Double boiler to heat the oils and then dissolve the shredded wax in it. Makes a paste. Good for waterproofing. But usually, saddlesoap and neatsfoot is all you need.

817 813 & 815. Simplest is the best. The saddlesoap and neatsfoot oil regimen is what the cavalry prescribed for its tack and harness. Now, if the leather is really old and sry, go heavy with the oil, then wrap up in brown paper and leave overnight before wiping dry.

826 Oh, a yuuuge part of the 'smell' of good leather is from the oils, and while neatsfoot is used, so is castor oil, whichnia cheaper, more waterproof, and gives a higher shine. But it is THICK.

841 Leftoids are just like the Taliban. They destroy culture, and they do it for the same reason - it conflicts with their religious ideology.

The Left's ideology is a replacement for religion. A few years ago, Ace or one of the Cobs wrote a wonderful piece about Carl Jung's research, and findings that magical thinking was apart of human nature. Organized religion builds a cage for it, and confines it to theological spheres. If you get rid of the religion, you don't become a creature of pure reason - you set it loose, and it might infect something else.

It infected the next biggest thing in their world - government. They are the cult of an all-powerful, omnipresent, benevolent state.

Any history before their takeover, and any culture that did not emanate from one of their citadels of anti-learning, is to be destroyed and replaced by something of their own creation.

Every time these people take over, they try to make it Year Zero and change everything. Calendars, weights and measures, and history itself - because they think that they know best, and if they can just abolish everything that came before them, the world will be perfect - and they'll get all of the credit for making it that way.

It's not just a religion, of course, it's also Pride...

Because what we're dealing with here is more than just a movement. Pride was the 1st of the 7 Deadly Sins, and unlike the others, not the domain of a demon prince, but Satan himself.

That's the way it works, first you fire up the "workers" with propaganda about evil capitalism, then you take over, set up a ruling class and the workers are right where they were before, while the ruling class enjoys all the good things they can steal.

926 920. yeah, the more I read on him - not that there's much - the more I suspect his motivations.

927 Oh and also Aug 12th was Soros birthday.

A birthday present for Emperor Palpatine.

Gee, there's a shock.

Seems like that old Nazi fossil has his hooks in everything these days.

928 Le NOOD

Arriving

Track two

929 What is absolutely amazing to me is that during all the shit going down at the Neo-Naz/Antifa exchange of ideas, the armed civilian militia never once broke firearm discipline.

I'd be willing to bet that doesn't happen a second time. Antifa was given their opportunity to show themselves for what they really are, and Neos took advantage of that to make themselves look like law abiding citizens. I'd bet the next dust up involves an escalated exchange of pleasantries and the excuse will be because the cops were not engaged to protect them.

930 923 919. I'm just cynical and paranoid enough that I can't dismiss that idea out of hand. We do know that many of these groups are heavily infiltrated by LE; it's not unreasonable to conjecture that they might be so well and truly compromised as to be more or less auxiliary forces.

Posted by: Your Decidedly Devious Uncle Palpatine. All Honor & Glory to Kekistan! at August 16, 2017 07:04 AM (fA1SL)

Being cynical and paranoid during a time like this is a sign of sanity.

931 @923

In this day and age of corrupted and weaponized LE and IC nothing is impossible or unthinkable.

932 Trump rallied the base and the middle with his press conference. The Silent Majority see riots as a bad thing. Obama's side overplayed their hand and pissed away a lot of money.

The riots were suppose to herald Obama's triumphant return as a shadow president.

Trump popped that bubble.

933 McAuliffe is down to DC workers as his only support in VA. That and Federal money may save his bacon. McAuliffe could be taken out if he doesn't start getting federal pork. McAuliffe is as popular as the Venezuela guy for similar reasons.

I pray that you are right, but far too many people are ignorant and will accept whatever drivel the media pushes out.

The media has become batshit crazy and unhinged. And these soviet-style propagandists have real power to destroy lives.

935 So the other 20% of cville had revolvers and bolt-action rifles?

936 National Lampoon's 70s article on Indian-derived state names was better. All were things like "here", "around here", "this place". Except the last, which was "Call it? We don't call it anything."
