Monday Overnight Open Thread (5/21/18 )
Quote I
Among the biggest obstacles to educating children in many ghetto schools are disruptive students whose antics, threats and violence can make education virtually impossible. If only 10 percent of the students are this way, that sacrifices the education of the other 90 percent. The idea that Eric Holder, or anybody else, can sit in Washington and determine how many disciplinary actions against individual students are warranted or unwarranted in schools across the length and breadth of this country would be laughable if it were not so tragic. Thomas Sowell
Quote II
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
Quote III
“What a slut time is. She screws everybody.” John Green
How do you say
A Peabody [Massachusetts] man found with more than half an ounce of heroin hidden in a secret compartment of his Volvo three years ago won’t have to serve time in prison after pleading guilty to charges of drug possession with intent to distribute. That’s because, a Salem Superior Court judge reasoned on Tuesday, Manuel Soto-Vittini was just trying to support his family, and was not an addict himself. “This was basically a money crime,” Judge Timothy Feeley concluded, rejecting a prosecutor’s request for one to three years in state prison.
Samuel Goldstein is determined to become an attorney. But there's one big stumbling block. The 2013 graduate of Arizona Summit Law School has failed the bar exam six times: five times in his home state of California, which has one of the highest cut scores in the nation. He flew to Illinois in February to take the exam because he heard it was easier to pass there. He needed a score of 266 out of 400 to pass. He fell short with 239 points, he said. The years-long struggle has been draining for the 33-year-old. "It's kind of like torturing yourself," said Goldstein, who has amassed $285,000 in student-loan debt.Or, it sucks to suck.
May 21, 1980, Joe Strummer of The Clash was arrested at a much-troubled gig in Hamburg, Germany, after smashing his guitar over the head of a member of the audience; he was released after an alcohol test proved negative. via thisdayinmusic.com
May 21, 1941, Born on this day, Ronald Isley, from American group The Isley Brothers who first came to prominence in 1959 with their fourth single, 'Shout', and then the 1962 hit 'Twist and Shout. The Isley Brothers also scored the hits 'This Old Heart Of Mine', 'Summer Breeze' and 'Harvest for the World'. Sixteen of their albums charted in the Top 40. via thisdayinmusic.com
Stephen Lawrence woke up like that on a day back in November 2015. Couldn’t remember much of anything from a four-sheets-to-the-wind drinking session with a booze buddy the previous evening. Sent a text to his pal saying, heck, didn’t know how he’d got home but hoping he hadn’t been “a super a--hole last night.” He had. The friend — likely no longer — responded rather tetchily that Lawrence had bitten off his ear, which he might now lose altogether. Gives a whole new, and literal, meaning to chewing someone’s ear off. The severed auricle had been deposited into a zip-lock bag and reattached at the hospital. Lawrence: “Oh, f--k me.” Indeed.
He doesn't stand for the National Anthem. He has a good reason and is Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

He's losing it, man. Just a fact of life. He has gotten lost going up to the store twice and he doesn't remember much of what he does. He worked at General Electric as a mechanic for forty years, yet he needs me to fix his riding mower.
I don't know how much longer he has before I have to condemn him to His Personal Hell in a facility. Had he not threatened my Mother twice, I would not even think such things.
He's not getting better, but he hasn't been violent for months. (Not that my Mom helps that... *AAAAGGGHHH!*) She wants to badger him and I'm just dealing with them.
If God deems that I have to deal with another eighteen years of this? ...well, it'll make-up for what I put them through.

Granny car. Find an old person, or old couple, who has given up driving, and buy their old, but well cared-for unstylish sedan. Even if it is 39 years old. And budget some money for must-do maintenance, like new tires, and maybe new brake hoses, etc. Three thousand dollars should find you a nice car, and leave enough of a nest egg for repairs.

Craigslist
Another seldom thought of is to check with body shops and mechanics for cars that the owners abandoned after a fender bender or breakdown. Sometimes the repair costs aren't so bad.

I feel your pain, Slap. My mom insisted that the nurses were the waitresses + cooks where she used to work (She ran several kitchens at a big resort for some time), and she couldn't get them to do anything.
Then I get out of the shower one morning and see that my phone has a half dozen messages from the nursing home and one from my uncle. Not a great day.
Hang in there.

Once upon a time, words meant something, and it meant something that we, for the most part, could all agree on. But more and more people want to play Humpty Dumpty and play the "master: by imposing their view of what ought to be said by declaring that what has been said in fact does so, even if the text itself is explicitly contradicted.

1) Private party sale (not dealer)
2) Skew toward cars older people drive (Hondas, Oldsmobiles, etc.). Grown-ups tend to take care of their things.
3) Avoid hot cars. Hot cars are really fun, but they tend to be driven like they were hot cars...
4) Do your homework. Consumer Reports' reliability metrics are, in my experience, reliable (apologies for that - I couldn't resist)
5) If he's not mechanically experienced, have someone you trust check it out first. $100 can save you thousands by alerting you to a stinker.
6) There is a lot out there in the sub-$5k range but be careful. There is a big difference between "value" and "cheap" and it isn't always obvious (see point 5)
7) Be prepared for imperfection. Some things virtually any cheap used car - even a good-value one - will need:
- Tires
- Brakes
- Wipers
If you don't have complete service records (you probably won't), I usually exchange all the fluids as soon as I get a used car - especially if that car is old.
YMMV, of course, but I learned these lessons - sometimes the hard way - as a teen/early 20-something and helping my little cousin. I made her walk away from *several* cars before we landed on the right one. Which leads to:
9) Always be prepared to walk away from a bad deal or a car with red flags.
There is no such thing as a sure thing, but you can stack the deck in your favor.

That depends on a lot of different things of course but for 3-5k you should be able to get something decent. 2k will need some work, tires, etc. 1k or less will need a lot of work.
I've bought several cars off of Craigslist. You can find deals if you know what you are looking at.

A lot of people across the political spectrum don't want their children disciplined.They want other people's children disciplined, just not their own. And I'm talking about non-corporal punishments, such as suspension, detention, notes home to parents, missing recess, whatever.
I've known a lot of people who teach in public schools. I've listened to a lot of teacher complaints about students doing things that were outrageous, damaging to neighbor's property, sometimes dangerous, and when the parent is told about whatever the discipline is, they fight it, sometimes to the point of contacting a lawyer.

First, those requirements are relative.
The truth is, buying a used car is always something of a roll of the dice, assuming that it isn't from one of the used car dealers that offers some warranty.
My best advice is to try to find someone who is very savvy about cars and get them to advise your son regarding any particular car. But, the above paragraph applies to anyone.
As far as price goes, there's no limit on the upside, but on the low side I suppose a reliable Japanese car with less than (?) 75k miles should be had for, damn, I don't know. $3000-$5000 ?

We are going through this with my mom. She is harmless, just beginning to get agitated with strangers and changes to her routine. She will be fine at home until she can no longer eat or toilet--if we can get my dad to stop acting like a recalcitrant teenager.
He insists on leaving her by herself - or,worse, dropping her off somewhere like a store and leaving her to become disoriented and tearful. He refuses to accept that she is now a full-time responsibility. We have arranged in-home care, and he runs them off or ignores them.
What a sad mess. We foresee a messy legal battle to take guardianship away from him, which will destroy all of us. That, or letting catastrophe strike.

If a customer has abandoned a car at a service shop, the shop owner can get legal ownership by filing a mechanic's lien or a warehouseman's lien on the car. And then sell it. I wouldn't advise this route for buying a car, unless one is looking for a specific model, and one turns up in that situation.

As far as the issues with the county hospital...I sent another letter to their attorney, stating that I wrote them four months ago with an offer of a monthly payment plan. It was small, but I'd be paying something, at least.
I heard nothing back from them until last week. They said I had never corresponded with them; that's a lie.
I can't afford an attorney, so when the court date arrives in June...well, who knows what will happen. If they want all the money at once, I don't have it. I'm afraid I'll end up with no car and practically nothing but the clothes on my back.

I taught adult education in both the military, and civilian IT industries... for many years...
It only takes ONE disruptive student IF you cannot discipline them...
ONE.... and the learning of all your other students suffers.
Which is why the idea of putting handicapped into normal classroom???? really nice for the one.... screws everyone else.
Want to fix education in America???
Make is so Teachers can kick students out of their class... without a major paperwork drill.

A less-hotheaded evolutionist would have responded that populations in northern areas got isolated for tens of thousands of years during a white-walker tier ice age, the Late Glacial Maximum. Going out to catch the rays for that Vitamin D was difficult. Our ancestors learnt to hunt and gather for sustenance that would provide Vitamin D without sunlight - eventually ending up with a gene to digest milk in adulthood. Also, light skin processed the sunlight more efficiently.
In sum, you were a jerk, and he lost patience with your trolling.

Well, abandoned cars are often abandoned for a reason. Maybe it's in the body shop for a crumpled fender, and the owner knew it also needed a tranny overhaul, and decided that the sum of the two jobs was more than the car was worth.
A car like that could be a good deal for a shade-tree mechanic, but for a newbies driver with mechanical skills, the words "money pit" come to mind.

When I heard this story I was reminded about the following Booker T Washington quote...
There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.
Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs, partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays.
Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs....

Part of the charm! It depends very much on era. I had one from the early '90s and it was horrifying in curves at over about 35 MPH. Exceedingly comfortable, though. My current on is more modern (an '06) and it is fine. It isn't sprightly by any means and you *know* when you're in a curve but its roadholding is excellent and there are enough dynamics to let you know if you're being stupid. A lot of it is the air suspension. It was set to "pudding" in the early '90s. They tightened it up nicely by the late '90s and oughts.

I've been buying $1500 cars for a couple of years to drive them for a couple of years and save up enough for a decent used car. That might be a strategy for your kid if you are not in an area with DEQ requirements.
Buy towing insurance and decent tires and have a walk out kit and make sure they check all the fluids every time they gas up.
My goal was to put aside 10K, which I now have done, and will be moving to a nicer car. Which for what I want - a late model Ford Edge - will be between 4 and 6K
A nice boring Accord or a Corolla will run you about that price range.
Saving 10k is basically saving $835 a month for a year, or $420 a month for two years. It's good practice. This is the third time I've done it.

Maintenance records. They are great cars but that era of Ford transmissions was ... spotty. If they've serviced it on time, it is probably fine. If not, you could be looking for trouble (a new tranny will be about $2,200-$2,500. Ask me how I know). On the plus side, it is easy to assess if the trans has been serviced because the fluids break down nicely over time.

I feel for you. A lot of us have dealt with aging parents. Just a thought. If any opportunity comes up, suggest a "psych evaluation" so that you have documentation that she shouldn't be left alone. If she ever falls and gets taken to a hospital, for instance, ask for it. Perhaps, at her next doctor's visit you could request it.
At least then, if you have to push your father to get your mother the help she needs, you'll have something other than your own opinion to back you up.

The wife found a 2008 Mazda 5 on Facebook Marketplace. It had a transmission problem, but it was only $800.
Since I have some ability at car repairs, we took a chance on it, thinking that worst case it would need a rebuilt tranny which would still make the total cost sunk into it below Blue Book.
After replacing two solenoids which didn't fix it and a transmission control module that seems to have done so, we've got about $1300 into it, which is still a bargain on an older car in this good of shape.

I don't mind being called a jerk. Sometimes I am one.
Still, I didn't posit that either race was superior, simply that the development of a separate race/skin color must be a process of evolutionary adaptation.
If I had formulated the same hypothesis in discussing insects, I believe he would have agreed. Why is it racist to discuss the same process in the human species?
In truth, I imagine to an evolutionist that humanity isn't really anything more significant than just the latest random step on the evolutionary ladder.

Thanks. We have everything we need in that department. Until something actually happens, though, we can't take guardianship without an ugly scene.
It is heart-breaking watching old people fight to hold on to an independence they cannot sustain. My parents have the means for in-home care--and we have arranged it. But ALLOWING it--that is where my dad gets bull-headed. And my mom is still with it enough to bark at the care-givers and intimidate my dad.
We are having my dad evaluated (neuropsych) this week. I am not quite sure how my little sis snuck that appointment in on my dad. (She is wily.) We will proceed from there.
I hope I get run over by a train. Or hit by a meteor. Not eaten by an apex predator-sounds too painful.

I think it's pretty straightforward ace. There was a time when conservatism was "standing athwart history and yelling 'stop'". That was Wm. F. Buckley, and that was the dawn of the conservative movement. He tried to remake the Republican Party a party of conservatism and partly succeeded, but only partly.
Conservatism nowadays is splintered -- I'm with you on the small government part but not the SoCon stuff, for example -- but it's still an insurgent. It's not the Republican Party. The Republican Party is still Establishment and Let's Not Rock the Boat.

It's not sourced because it's Ace's opinion. I think he's referring to the NeverTrumpers. The GOPe. What used to be called country club Republicans or Rockefeller Republicans.
The kind of Republicans who really don't have much use for the social cons. They are typically pro defense, and claim to be fiscal cons, but are really more go along to get along types. The view their role as a check on how fast the Dems socialize the country. Not that they will try to really stop them, just slow them down to a respectable pace.

I remember Hillary couldn't pass the DC bar exam, which I understand uses the multi-state multiple choice section. Myself, and 70% of my graduating class, passed that portion of the test (it's 1/3 of the total score the way Texas does it) by a big enough margin to have automatically qualified for the DC bar - I never got certified there because it's silly to pay close to $600 bucks a year for the "prestige" of a thing you'll never use.
Passing the bar is difficult, meaning it takes concentrated, well organized work over a significant period of time. But if you can do that, it's not actually hard, not compared to truly hard things I have done. Bluntly put, I can't count how many flaming idiots I've met who have passed the bar.

I 'think' what Ace is trying to say is something that most of have pointed out over the years: namely that conservatism 'conserves' for conservation's sake. It is an age old argument (one of the reasons GK Chesterton preferred to refer to himself as a 'Traditionalist' rather than a 'conservative.'
The idea that you are merely trying to keep things the way they are instead of pointing out that many of these ideas and institutions are time proven and tested is one that has been pointed out many times.
He is also conflating that with the institutional inertia in how the GOP ruling class has been resistant to the truly revolutionary ideas and implication of Trump's election. Trump is not merely trying to conserve the status quo (as one could argue that GW Bush did) but rather actually trying to roll back the leviathan state- something 'conservatives' have spoken about lovingly in the past, but was so much electoral pillow talk.

his as well, due to the impeachment (lying under oath). Not sure if
Hillz still has a valid license. If she does it would be a fucking
miracle.

I have been increasingly reminded of a moment in LoTR, when the Rohirrim are on the edge of the Pelennor Fields, readying for battle. All appear bleak and hopeless - and then Widfara tell's Theoden that the wind has changed. The battle hasn't been fought yet, terrible times are still ahead - but for the first time, Theoden starts to feel hope, starts to realize they actually have a chance.

Many larger cities have emission controls and inspections/tax stamps, the older cars can't pass them. Here it is the Department of Environmental Quality, but it is in the Portland metro area. If you don't know what they are you are blessed.
A walkout kit is actually two kits, one to stay in comfort with the car until dawn when you can get towed out of the ditch/snowbank/side of the road, and the other for walking home.
I keep a packed bag for surprise overnight stays, a tarp and a blanket.

I've known a lot of people who teach in public schools. I've listened to a lot of teacher complaints about students doing things that were outrageous, damaging to neighbor's property, sometimes dangerous, and when the parent is told about whatever the discipline is, they fight it, sometimes to the point of contacting a lawyer.
Posted by: nerdygirl at May 21, 2018 10:35 PM (+lVUW)
In my case, I knew growing up that the teacher was God as far as my parents were concerned (even if I knew at heart the teacher was thoroughly incompetent). God help me if I got in trouble with the law: they would have filed complaints with the police if they did NOT have me summarily executed. If I were in court, I knew they would take the side of the prosecution and demand the worst possible punishments that the State could administer. And no, I am not exaggerating, either. But I turned out all right...

Reading about the guy killed by the lion, SJ Brooks (and I'm uncertain what 'SJ' stands for, I repeatedly find people in Seattle referring to him as 'they'.
For example:
"SJ was such a cool, welcoming person, such a pleasure to talk to and they had a smile that lit up a room. I only got to talk to them a few times, but they were just such a warm, positive person who was doing what they could to be a bright spot in this world."

"It was first discovered in 1998 when there was an outbreak in Malaysia. The virus can make the jump from animals to humans when humans consume contaminated food to which the bats have transferred the virus.
An outbreak in 2004 was caused after bats transferred the disease to date palm sap that humans ate, according to the WHO."
Easily transfers between family members, so you don't have to eat the food to get it.
It sounds like it breaks out in India every year though. So, not sure we need to worry. More worried more about the SJW virus.

Consider yourself lucky. If there isn't a bigger waste of time and a more boring, overblown event where everyone makes a mountain out of a molehill, that's it. (But in my case, I knew practically no one in my "graduating class" and got out third from the bottom of my class - proof that past performance does NOT guarantee future results, as I have an M.A. now. Maybe the experience is worth it to some people - as are other aspects of HS. But not me.)

I am looking into it.
But I do suggest buying outright, and not getting a used car on payments. If the car dies before it is paid off, you still have to make the payments or loose your credit rating.
Or arrange to get another one from the same or similar dealer.
Those dealer make more on interest than they do on reselling cars.

"The King's County Sheriff's Office initially said the two cyclists were both men. The sheriff's office on Monday identified Brooks as a woman, using her birth name, at the request of Brooks' parents. Brooks went by the pronoun they, according to a bio on the cycling group Friends on Bikes, where Brooks is listed as the Seattle chapter leader. The group's efforts are focused on women of color, and trans and gender non-conforming people of color in an attempt to increase diversity in cycling."

BABYMETAL has just started their latest tour in the US, and Yuimetal is not present!
Their publicity people are ambiguous about Yui's status and rumours abound: quit, sacked,
It's not BABYMETAL without Yui!

1) Constant change in the virus.
2) High communication rate.
3) 1917 proved that if you get unlucky with the slot machine of strains, mortality can be extremely high- even among the healthy.
I actually wonder if modern palliative care would have made a difference with the Spanish flu. It is one of those questions that you hope does not get answered in your lifetime.

Joe's thing about tragedies and statistics seems to bear out in real life.
I was trying to explain the horror of America's war history in flat numbers to a friend. She absolutely could not understand how that, in terms of real and relative numbers, the American Civil War was the bloodiest ever fought in human history, at its time. And then, it would be eclipsed by orders of magnitude twice in the following century.
She simply couldn't comprehend the scale of killing in any of that.
Yet, when I proudly told her that Israel eliminated 50 Iranian launch platforms with 28 losing their lives, she was shocked by the upfront brutality of war.
I thought it was merciful, and she thought it was brutal, and I think it's because a lot of chicks hate math.

No, we use a online clock in system that we have set up on tablets. Something weird is going on company wide however, and a lot of people across several states cannot clock in or out.
It is not a huge problem for me, because I keep records of when my guys get here and when everyone leaves, but other people are not quite so old school.
I mostly do it because certain, ahem, errors pop into existence every now and then and I like to have my guy's back. Saves me a lot of headache to make sure their times are right on the front end.

You have my sympathy, Slap. Dementia is harder on the survivors than on the victim. The victim is living in his/her little world totally unconnected to reality. It is the survivors trying to care for talking vegetables that used to be close family members who grieve. More than once, my mother-in-law sat on the couch and bawled her eyes out because it looked like Mary, but Mary herself had died years earlier.
Good luck, and see if you can find a caretakers group. Short of that, talk with someone who has already had to deal with the problem. There are definite stages, and each stage has its own issues. Every day, remind yourself -- this is not my father talking or yelling at me, it is the disease.

My first instinct is to recoil at the gruesome nature of this type of thing.
My second is to think: well, it does expose people to the horrors of life and if it means fugitives get caught, then so much the better. 'Raising awareness' has something going for it.
My third thought is: all of that might be well and good, but a lot of the people going to a 'crimecon' are there for the ghoulish delight.

People's concepts of death and life are very... distant these days. I think they just have no experience to relate.
Consider:
In the aforementioned Spanish flu pandemic of 1917, 3-5% of the world population perished. If it happened today, 225 Million to 375 Million people would die.
That is a truly staggering total, and goes to Stalin's point about people having trouble grasping large numbers (which is funny considering he is responsible for one of the largest mass murders of the 20th century- a competitive category for Socialist dictators.)

Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch actually said that Congress can impeach Ex-President Cock-Curious for crimes he commited while president amd bar him from ever holding office again.
Simply by reading the impeachments clausre of the Constitution a person can see that this is a ridiculous posiion to take.
Not that it wouldn't be fun to watch Obama be impeached when all this time everyone thought Trump would be.
But come one, Tom. Reading comprehension!
