Mid-Morning Open Thread
Peder Severin Krøyer
Comments
(Jump to bottom of comments)"India welcomes Hillary Clinton, former senator, secretary of state, and presidential candidate," the moderator states.
"I am president!" Hillary shrieks to the crowd, the purple glow faint about her plutonium powered purple plaid panzer pantsuit.
"Mr. Trump is president right - " the moderator is cut off as the atomic exoskeleton provides increased strength to Hillary who rips the lectern off the ground and flings it into the moderator.
"All lies! It was stolen from me! Those women were supposed to be my thralls, all mine, and they listened to their men and betrayed me!" Hillary lurches off the stage, bellowing like a mumakil, dashing members of the audience through the air as she rampages.
**********************
"In foreign news Hillary Clinton injured her wrist after slipping in the bathtub," Brad states as a video clip of Hillary rampaging through the auditorium, trampling the crowd as it flees, the dust of the collapsing building rising about her plays before the video feed is lost. "You have to be careful about bathtubs, those are dangerous places. And for the latest in fashion gossip - Caitlin, the other high school intern. Caitlin?"
Caitlin sits staring at the camera, her arms folded and annoyance plain on her face.
"And I'm getting the silent treatment today and so are you, so I guess we should be thankful." The screen behind them shows the words "White House Intrigue" as a picture of a knife going into a man's back plays over and over.
"In domestic politics a bunch of people you never heard of before swear upon their mother's graves that President Trump has fired the entire White House staff, claims that he said he could get them cheaper from Guatemala. The White House denies this evidence of Trumpian chaos, saying that a little rejuvenation is good and keeps everyone else terrified and on their toes. "Paranoia is a heck of a motivator," an unnamed White House spokesman has said. "We'll be back after these messages for old people medicine and reverse mortgages."
As the commercials roll he turns to Caitlin, saying "I'm sorry already, but I panicked. I've been to HR and I don't want to go there again - the smells, the screams, that SJW," he shudders. "You just caught me at a bad time."
"So what would be a good time?"
"Pardon?"
"What would be a good time? I just saw some little fat dude in a fur coat bend over and - brrrrr - that was sooo gross and I needed support and you run away." She pauses and asks "You aren't queer like Josh, are you?"
"What! No!"
"I didn't think so, you aren't, you know, fabulous enough. You still got that crappy Lumina your grandma gave you?"
"Yeah."
"Then you can take me to my facial after this."
"Me? Why me?"
"Because you have a car and I don't, and you can pick me up and bring me here tomorrow."
Suspicious, Brad asks "What's going on?"
Turning an innocent face to him Caitlin replies "Nothing. Commercials' over, better get back, Brad," as she takes out her phone and starts texting.
Brad feels a premonition, like a chill creeping down his back, as he states in a distracted voice "Welcome back, in Baltimore, police warn everybody to be on the lookout for a short fat man in a fur coat. He has been reported at the scenes of several deaths and is considered a person of interest. The only other clues are empty bottles of Valu-Rite vodka found at the scene of each murder."

I like to put a story together from a picture, even if it is whimsical. This one doesn't make sense ... unless she came home from a long night of partying and just wanted to get away with her dog. She found out her husband is dating a younger woman? She's bored with the social life pretenses, just wants to garden?
That seems to be moonlight on the water, but someone used the fill flash for front lighting. heh

She ought to own this in spades. "Not only was I in charge, I frequently took over the interrogations myself. Nothing gives satisfaction quite like the sight of a murderous Mohammedan choking, only moments from death. So yes, not only do I endorse waterboarding, I regret that my career has advanced to such a place that I can't regularly participate."

First we demonstrate for ten years, and they call us racist. Then they tell us we have to win elections, so we do, but elections don't seem to accomplish the intent. Why give the GOP power over the House, Senate and Executive if all they do is whatever the Democrats say? What's left? Let the streetlights begin to serve their intended purpose?

This. I hope eventually we get a definitive accounting of what happened, because the bits and pieces I've seen are all over the place and conflicting as heck. The flight attendant didn't know there was a dog in there, the people had paid the additional for the dog, the dog was barking, the dog wasn't barking, the daughter said something to the FA, the carrier was an approved one, the carrier wouldn't fit under the seat, etc. But what I haven't seen yet is exactly what you say - why would the owner not at the very least keep checking on the dog?

If they caused an issue then I would have gotten off the flight and fought it there but I would not risk the life of my dog just to please some glorified cocktail waitress.

On average yes. However the genes you share with your cousin are on average are 1/8th, but it can be far more or far less depending upon RNG.
The big problems occur when your religion *cough* Islam *cough* encourages you to do it over and over for generations.
Middle eastern average IQ pre-islam was estimated to be on par with European.
Post Islam continous cousin marriage has brought it below the "democracy will never work here" threshold average of 90.

One way to look at waist size and get really disgusted enough to do something about it is looking at the *area* involved:
30" waist area = 706 inches
31" waist area = 754 inches
32" waist area = 804 inches
33" waist area = 855 inches
34" waist area = 907 inches
35" waist area = 962 inches
36" waist area = 1017 inches
Difference between 30" waist and 36" waist?

here in Cali, when you do your state taxes you have to list your internet purchases amount, state how much tax you paid to outside vendors and then multiply original purchase amount by applicable sales tax, deduct "paid" tax and then send difference to Sacramento. It's easier just to keep a few receipts as back up, regardless of how much you spent (unless it thousands) and send money in. It appears you're at least trying and there's very little chance of being audited. And if you are, they'd have to pull your bank records and track down every trx. IOW: It's the honor system. bawawawahahaha

But with the TBD Devastators, Paul Allen has found seven of them. Out of 130 built all were lost or stricken/scrapped by the end of 1944. Only three wrecks were known before now. One off Florida that the Navy has refused in court for anyone to bring up and the two that went down at Jaluit from VT-5 and the Marshall Islands government is not keen on letting anyone raise. None exist in museums.
So there is a strong urge to take a crack at raising either T-4, T-5, T-8, T-9, T-11, or T-12 of VT-2.

FA came by and made us put him all the way back in. Took me and daughter 30 minutes to shove that little shit's head back in! He was having none of it!

One way to look at waist size and get really disgusted enough to do something about it is looking at the *area* involved:
30" waist area = 706 inches
31" waist area = 754 inches
32" waist area = 804 inches
33" waist area = 855 inches
34" waist area = 907 inches
35" waist area = 962 inches
36" waist area = 1017 inches
Difference between 30" waist and 36" waist?
Three hundred eleven (311) cubic inches.

the portion that failed is only half of the planned total horizontal bridge structure. Still to come was another horizontal walkway/canopy section going across the canal along the highway (you can see the start of stairway construction over there), and then a central pylon with tension supports running down to the canopy.
The current portion failed at or near what was to be the bottom central support column of the entire structure.
Very, very strange. I wonder if the walkway and/or canopy cracked while the thing was being moved last weekend? The failure appears to be the result of very poor job by some one or several people on predicting the actual loads this partial bridge structure would be exposed to in it's "service" life. Or it may be a construction process or sub-standard materials problem.

By one report when she wanted to get up and check on the the dog, there was turbulence and a remain in seat order. She didn't, but I'll note, she had two children, one an infant, to juggle and I doubt you would plop your infant on a seat during turbulence to stand up and get into the overhead bin.
The attendant's actions carried an implicit communication that the overhead bin travel is both policy and safe for animals. I believe very strongly the attendant has lied about her instructions - after the fact she told her employer she didn't know a dog was in the bag. This is contrary to the observations of passengers who note she heard not only the owner's pleas, but touched the bag, a typical animal carrier of the type used on flights, and heard the animal bark.
I think it's silly to believe the owner somehow knew her dog would die and she didn't get up so she could collect public sympathy or cash.

I didn't imply any of that.
It was Mark Syeyn who was going off on how docile Americans have become during air travel, that they'd watch a woman and daughter tell the attendant there was a dog in the carrier, listen to the barks, and instead of doing something, only waiting until after to say, "Yeah, we saw it happen and heard the barks..." I think we can all agree that it's a weird dynamic on planes/in airports where we have to be like cows being herded through security, herded onto a plane, subjected to cranky flight attendants, and in some cases, people dragged off flights, etc.

SO, I immediately called her cell phone to inform her.
She made it to school, and it was actually the High School (Fairview) a block from her building that was on lockdown due to suspicious activity reported.
Got another call from the school district indicating that the situation was resolved, and everything was normal.
Had to relay that to her via instant messaging.
She just messaged me back -- somebody reported the Fairview (Boulder, CO) high school color guard team for carrying suspicious packages and possibly weapons.
You know -- those short white wooden rifles and gym bags.
No wonder we have problems. School system is trying to alert employees at or en route to school by calling the land lines at home.

Danes are Scandinavian.
And the Finns are just fucking weird
Of course. I was having fun. Now, the Nordic languages, English, and German are all from the same linguistic tree. Modern Icelandic is the closest thing extant to the English of Beowulf. So it's all one seafaring rapey family.
The languages did wander apart from each other and become distinct, until English and German had angry drunk sex and Dutch was born.
The Finns are fucking weird. I've read that linguists have found similarities between Finnish, Hungarian, and Korean. Even Viking rape can't explain that.

The monosyllabic blonde guy in the mad-bomber cap and union suit, feeding the chick into the shredder at the end of "Fargo?" Probably Finnish. If he was half-drunk and listening to death-metal on a Walkman, for sure Finnish.

The Finno-Ugraic languages are Finnish, Hungarian and Estonian.
I have heard about the similarity to Korean but only in a youtube video ... Hungarians ancestors were Huns though ...

I think Frisian horses are highly prized. One of those very long mane-tail -- black maybe? Just remembered because there are some horsey people here.

Studies on the height increase of the Japanese born post WW2 concluded that high-protein diets in the early years of a child's life greatly increased the length of the femur, as well as other arm and leg bones.
Severe disease in childhood, as well as periodic bouts of near starvation, greatly stunt bone growth. (hey vegans all your kids are gonna be short)

Because one of the precursors to Old English. "Bread, butter and green cheese is good English and Good Fris." The sentence sounds almost identical in English and Frisian.

And this is where the whole idea of the sauna followed by jumping in an icy lake started. Those who did would leap out of the water and say "I'm Frisian."

And thrn about 45 mins into the flight he came over and apologized. Said it has been a really long day. Seemed sincere. Also gave both kids some wings and me a free beer. 25 year old gay dudes dont get life with small kids I guess, lol.
Moral is everything was fine, but a situation that could easily have escalated to ugly.

The languages did wander apart from each other and become distinct, until English and German had angry drunk sex and Dutch was born. "
I had a good friend (since moved away) from Denmark, who showed me a very funny vid clip that's popular with the Danish (it's in Danish, of course) The topic was the fact that Norway and Denmark were one unified country until 1814, and spoke exactly the same language up to that point.
The video, made by a Norwegian, had a number of examples illustrating the common Norwegian view of today, which is that Modern Danish is simply what Norwegian sounds like if you're falling down drunk.

I have a nephew that's 6'8". He got so tired of people asking him if he's a basketball player he got a t-shirt that says, "No, I'm not a basketball player."
"Are you a jockey?"

thx, that makes sense. (the cow growth hormone probably not transferred), but the cow protein being readily available would help. Curious why Japan had more protein post WW2 ...
Posted by: illiniwek at March 16, 2018 11:27 AM (bT8Z4)
Yes, that is what we are seeing.
It also dovetails with some interesting ancient archaeological evidence - we're used to be taught that the Agricultural Revolution, about 7,000 bc give or take, was a Huge Leap Forward, but bone evidence shows that the paleolithic hunter gatherers who lived before were actually taller and healthier (and undoubtedly stronger) than the generations of farmers who came later, due to their increased protein consumption and general variety of their diet.
And that backs up the reason that it was a curse, early in Genesis, for Adam to have to go live from working the land after he is tossed out of Eden.
