Friday Night ONT: Mary Prankster Edition
Welcome to Friday y'all. I tell you, the hanging Windows update I mentioned last night has been giving me fits. Some Morons were very helpful last night, but what I was trying didn't work, and I don't know what to do. I'm sure there are a lot of updates I still need, but until I get this one fixed I can't get to them. Anyhoo, it's the weekend, have y'all got your budgets in order to have some fun?
Fido Friday

Former agent warns the Secret Service has a troubling obsession that’s putting Trump’s life in serious danger
Ever notice that we didn't used to have loons jumping the White House fence and all of the other stuff we see almost regularly now? A new book by Dan Bongino delves into why, and he should know as he spent years on the presidential detail. Turns out the SS is more concerned with diversity in the ranks rather than competence. This leftist obsession with diversity is going to kill us all. In any organization, “diversity” (as the left means it-race and sex, certainly not ideas) can be a great thing. However, diversity is a by-product, not a goal. A good job will have people of all races, creeds and colors striving to fill it. This creates a natural diversity that can be valuable. But by setting out to be “diverse” without considering whether the people can do the actual job, all you get is chaos. Remember that if an assassin takes someone down after out running a one legged Latino lesbian midget who is providing “security” for the victim.
Living in a Leftist Paradise
Tired Of Democracy? Singapore Is for You! The author relates how he realized, as his plane was coming in to Singapore, that he had prescription medication in his bag which would make him subject to the death penalty after he landed. Clean? Yep. Modern? Yep. Wealthy? Singapore is all of those things. You still couldn't pay me enough to live there. I'll take my nice, messy liberty, thank-you-very-much. Thoughtful Article
Teen-Adult Sex: What Every Parent Should Know It's by Chad Felix Greene, a gay conservative who is quite open about his own teenage experiences hooking up with adult men. Not a pleasant read, but an important one. Musical Interlude
How many of you have heard of Mary Prankster? If ever there was a musician that should be a Moron, it's her. A five foot nuthin', foul mouthed, tattooed, dynamo in red hightops, she was, and I mean this quite sincerely, the finest lyricist to come out of the Baltimore area since Frank Zappa. Calling her brand of music “cowpunk”, she played over 1,000 live shows in a career that spanned the decade ending in 2005.
“Tits and Whiskey” was her first big song around here, despite saying “Fuck” 13 times in the song, it received wide airplay in the Baltimore area on alternative stations. Her catalog ran the gamut of subjects, and her songs seemed to perfectly capture the post-grunge area angst from the POV of Generation X. She wrote love songs, (Tempest);
My manner is imperious
My logic is empirical
And I'm bad at being a girlfriend
So I'm hoping for a miracle I fear your disappointment
When I don't turn out ethereal
Though either way for me
I know it means some new material Now don't go thinkin' that you're special
Just because you are
'Cause I'm bound to overthink it
And I always go too far But if you think this kind of tempest
May just be your cup of tea
Then I'd like to offer you
The heart of me
Songs the highlight the troubled nihilism of a casual sex generation (Mercyfuck);
And I don't want to live anymore
And I don't want to give anymore
If I fawn, if I flirt, I just keep getting hurt
And it's taken its toll I wish I could fuck all my sorrow away
And fuck 'til the dawn of the next fucking day
Fuck the chorus and verse, fuck the pain getting worse
Fuck it all 'til I burn
And even songs that recognize the futility of it all and the demands of adulthood (New Tricks).
Spent more years than I rememberMary Prankster was obviously just a stage name, I don't know her real name, not may people do. After she hung up her Chucks, she moved to New York where, I assume, she's still active in the creative arts somehow. I'm now in my 50s, and yet I still miss gong to a smoky dive bar and watching Mary just burn the place down. I'll leave you with “Swan Dive”. I'm happy, successful, and more confident in myself and my life than most, but this is still the best song I've ever heard for capturing that feeling that we all get sometimes, that feeling that it's all a big sham. That feeling that any second now, the fourth wall is going to pull back and we'll be standing awkward and alone on a big stage where we don't belong while the audience laughs at us.
In a club where every member
Never feels as if he quite belongs Searching for my pleasure in
Some brand-new kind of deadly sin
My life is just as aimless as my songs I'm gonna make it back to college
I'm gonna quit my job
I'm gonna buy the store that I'd been planning just to rob I'm gonna teach this old dog new tricks
Drinking from the brimming cup
As soon as I wake up
American oaks share a common northern ancestor I'll just leaf this here. It's kind of acorn-y thing to say, but more than tree puns is a waste. Don't bark at me, I'm sure they won't take root in your brain, and soon you'll be able to branch out into other subjects. I may be going out on a limb here, but I bet nothing sticks.

I agree. Riker was the beta male, and beyond that had no character of his own. Since it's Star Trek canon that the Kobayashi Maru is the gold test for character, let's do this.
I can imagine how Major Kira might handle it (terrorism). Same with O'Brien (blowing sh!t up with engineering). Or Picard (strategy and diplomacy), or Worf (blowing sh!t up with photon torpedos). Even Wesley (he'd probably get the instructors administering the test horribly killed).
I have no goddamn clue how Riker would approach it.

Yes, they have some weird laws. Yes, they are tough on drug traffickers. You can even buy t-shirts there mocking their laws. But we flew in and out of Singapore dozens of times and never had one damn problem. I even had a case of chewing gum in one of my bags after a home leave. Nothing happened. I seriously doubt NO ONE ever flies into Singapore with prescription drugs.

But they split off Kirk's authority into Picard, and you can't have a Kirk archetype as a second-in-command.

Freakin' transporter. The more I watch episodes of Star Trek, the more the thing doesn't make sense. Basically, it kills and disintegrates you, and then re-assembles you somewhere else. Seems like black magic.

Trouble is, that means the other side of the compromise is in danger: the part where Southerners agreed to rejoin the Union peacefully, with no endless guerrilla warfare and terrorism.

Co-worker who knows his shit says the Microsoft servers that dole out the W7 patches aren't very solid, so it's a matter of luck til your computer finds a "good" one, then you're all set.

I blew 40 bucks on Feliway, at Gushie's recommendation. And, neither of them are doing particularly well and they HATE riding in the car in their cages. However, this will get done. Maybe not stylishly or well, but I will get this shit done. I honestly cannot wait until it's over. Still surprised my hair hasn't burst into flames but there's still time for that.

Yes, they have some weird laws. Yes, they are tough on drug traffickers. You can even buy t-shirts there mocking their laws. But we flew in and out of Singapore dozens of times and never had one damn problem. I even had a case of chewing gum in one of my bags after a home leave. Nothing happened. I seriously doubt NO ONE ever flies into Singapore with prescription drugs.

At the time of that incident my sister and I were on a cruise ship. Someone had arranged for a group of a hundred and fifty high school students to take that cruise. They were basically unsupervised. In the late night comedy show the comedian made a joke about that kid in SIngapore being caned and everyone in the audience laughed and cheered.

People who have the same job & employer I have, only they live in CA? A hugely disproportionate part of their net worth is the equity in their house. That's not diversification. The employer I reference offers a cost of living adjustment, but it doesn't begin to cover the extra expense.
And they have long commutes too-- some ghastly long.

had no character of his own. Since it's Star Trek canon that the
Kobayashi Maru is the gold test for character, let's do this.
I can imagine how Major Kira might handle it (terrorism). Same with
O'Brien (blowing sh!t up with engineering). Or Picard (strategy and
diplomacy), or Worf (blowing sh!t up with photon torpedos). Even Wesley
(he'd probably get the instructors administering the test horribly
killed).
I have no goddamn clue how Riker would approach it.
Posted by: boulder terlit hobo at September 22, 2017 10:12 PM (6FqZa)<<<
Wasn't there an episode where Riker and Reading Rainbow were crewing some old starship in test against the Enterprise? The old ship was a piece of junk, and totally outclassed. The ship wasn't even capable of warp, but Riker "bent" the rules to sneak aboard an experiment Weaselly was working on to allow it a brief warp jump. Even against impossibly tough odds, he wanted to win. And he did what it took to try and get an upper hand and come out victorious.

I am too lazy to Bing it and throw out links, but it is based on Virgo rising over Jerusalem at 0300 local time followed by the rising sun and the waning moon bathing Virgo's feet. Based on a passage in Revelation.
In other words, a kind of cool astronomical event that crackpots capitalize on.

Didn't read the linked item, but it's long been a staple of not-too-worldly or bright American urban types to dump on S'pore. My favorite was a friend's sister and BIL (NYC folks), perfect examples, whining about the "police state" - um, airhead lefties from NYC, which at that time imposing limits on soda size, and cigarette sales, and gawd knows what else, under the authoritarian freak Bloomberg - all aghast at S'pore's public decency rules.
OK.
And I find it completely impossible to believe you could be executed, even arrested, in S'pore for prescription drugs for which you had the paperwork.

This question, if you ever read Jesus Huerta de Soto, was first addressed by the Salamancan school in the 16th Century, where they pretty much explained that it was inflation caused by bringing that much wealth in and spending it, and prescribed to the Spanish crown to stop spending so much. Which was never going to happen while there was money to spend.
Dr Huerta de Soto is a wonder to read, and vastly more entertaining to listen to if you speak Spanish.

I think it was the early 80s when it started to be known by that name. Certainly by the time I went through basic in '86.
The classic woobie is great, but the Kifaru version is to die for. After a little research, I broke out the sewing machine and made a copy of the Kifaru woobie using similar continuous filament insulation. It's rough, but awesome.

And "CA" or "SoCal" are pretty meaningless, as far as "live-ability" designators - lots of variation, by specific location. Visiting for limited time is great, lots to enjoy on visits, but my whole life you could not pay me to live in the LA area (defined as, now, from Irvine to Thousand Oaks, the beach to Riverside). Outside those lines, still some nice places. All depends on your interests. If those rarely lie beyond your front door, then anywhere will do.

Are some people gay because of gay sex during the years when their sexuality was being formed? Undoubtedly.
Are some people gay just because they are? Undoubtedly.
Are there a billion incremental points between the two? Undoubtedly.

I had success with both w7 and w8 by doing the incremental upgrade approach. Looked at the dates of the updates and only selected a few of the oldest on each pass. Cross checked the results against the installation list and tried to figure out what patch was missing if something didn't install. Usually, it seemed that by just selecting the item that failed to install and doing another install pass would clear things up.
It did take hours though because nothing had been updated for a year or more.

Point of Order. Tom Paris was a Lieutenant. During the show he was demoted to Ensign for something he did but I don't think it lasted all that long and he was again back to Lt. well before the series ended.

(One of these things is not like the others.)
I am not saying that teens do not have agency, but it seems like people used to be able to describe better what was happening when an older, more experienced person takes advantage of a much younger, naive one.

The more time that has passed, the more I hate nu-Trek. I was bothered by how they handled the reboot - washing everything else away. The characters don't act *in* character, except maybe for McCoy. Kirk is a spoiled child. The sets were terrible - engineering should look like a spaceship, not an oil refinery. There is just no real sense that this is Star Trek, it has a different tone and scope.
They mined WoK for plot points for *two* movies, and executed them cheaply, and the KM test was just one of them. I have become sufficiently disgusted that I avoided the latest movie and have no desire to see it or any new ones in the future.

I can't remember if he got reinstated, he was a JG anyway, so still lower than Bashir.
That was one of my problems with that show - nobody got promoted, other than Paris - demoted, changed jobs, hooked up long term, or otherwise showed any real character growth over the series run. Except maybe for the doctor. 7 of 9 had a lot of growth quickly as a plot point, but once she got where Brannon Braga wanted, all stop.

Teen-Adult Sex: What Every Parent Should Know
It's by Chad Felix Greene, a gay conservative who is quite open about his own teenage experiences hooking up with adult men. Not a pleasant read, but an important one.
Many years ago I had a learning experience that shattered my previously PC view of gay sexuality:
I once had a book published by a big publishing house, and the editor there who guided it from manuscript to finished book eventually became a friend of mine -- not a super-close friend, but a "good friend"-level friend. H was a gay guy, around 40 years old, who was very artistic and "sensitive" and mousy. He only like classical music -- hated rock, pop and jazz -- ballet, opera and gregorian chants. He was also single, sad and lonely because he had a weird romantic preference for aristocratic old men -- he drooled over Alastair Cooke -- but there were no aristocratic old gay men where he lived, so he was always alone.
I thought he was a rare breed: An asexual, celibate gay man. He always bemoaned being isolated and lonely and without relationships.
But then one day he DID meet an older aristocratic gay man, and for a few months they were boyfriend-and-boyfriend.
But it didn't last long. One day we had lunch, and he cried and told me that his new boyfriend had become unreasonable and that they had broken up. I asked in what way he had become unreasonable. The reply?
"He said that if we were going to remain together as a couple, then he insisted that I stop going to bathhouses. That's an absurd demand!"
I admit that I was left speechless for a moment. Wait, what? You go to bathhouses? You???
He then revealed that OF COURSE he goes to bathhouses several times a week, that he had always had done so -- that's a given, and automatic with most gay men. All that stuff about being lonely and celibate -- he was referring to being lonely and celibate when it comes to emotion-based romantic relationships. OF COURSE he needed to get his rocks off and drain his balls five or ten times a week in anonymous sexual encounters with strangers. But that didn't "count." That was just biological.
This friend of mine up until that point had been a sort of iconic stereotype in my mind: See, not all gay men have frequent anonymous sex. Some can be delicate, sensitive romantic near-virgins.
Ooops. Stereotype shattered.
All I was left with after that was the standard stereotype. Oh well. I guess stereotypes evolve for a reason.

Socons seemed to like Milo. He said he was warmly welcomed in the South. He did an interview with one of the Duck Dynasty guys and was respectful of the man's beliefs and got respect in return. He is not a proponent of gay marriage and backed the rights of Christians to refuse to bake cakes for gay weddings.
It wasn't the Socons who brought him down, it was GOPe types who hated his support for Trump. Once again ,they were happy to ally themselves with leftists to bring down a threat to their Establishment.

I was once friends with a gay man like the one you described. A shy retiring man who loved books and art and stuck me as extremely cultured. I worked in his bookstore occasionally. I felt bad for him. He seemed lonely.
One day, I overheard him chatting about going to Union Station to have sex with guys in the men's room there and also about the "P street beach" in DC, a notorious gay pickup spot He and his gay friend were bragging about how often they had sex in those spots during the past month - dozens of times. Then he noticed I was standing there and gave a panicked "Shut up" look to his friend.
It really wrecked the image I had had of him.

then take the drained solid material and mix in the other ingredients, then apply finished product to the meat in question. i've never reserved the horseradish liquid in the past, but that oversight will be corrected going forward.
as for misting the meat with cider, what have you, there's two schools of thought on that, and some debate as to it's efficacy.
for one thing, you have to open the cooking chamber to do it, and, as they say "if you're lookin' you ain't cookin'..." every time you do that, you deviate from your desired cook temp, and a stable temp for long periods is a BIG help to turning out good Q. it's the long, slow, steady temp progression that causes the meat to self-tenderize, especially with brisket.
the best thing about experimenting with Q is that, unless you REALLY screw up, disposing of the test materials is fun. just take copious notes: relying on memories isn't reliable.

I got to see her when she was touring with P. Tang and Jon E. Cakes; the guys were great. Breaking up with them was the worst mistake in musical history since whatsisname decided to stop hanging out with The Beatles.
