Late Summer Saturday Open Thread September 8 [KT]
What will you wear now?
Used to be that the upper crust changed their wardrobes after Labor Day. Hope no socialists derailed your Labor Day Weekend. We have been hearing about the jobs of certain Asian factory workers whose working conditions are not great this week. Some of their jobs may be in jeopardy. Nike has lost another customer at Maggie's Farm:I have been using Nike crossfit sneakers (Metcons) for my workouts. I have 2 pairs, so one is always dry. No heel, minimal cushioning, so perfect for all mixed workouts. Why would they want to engage me in political bullshit? Commenter at Ace: "NIKE is going where the bucks are - single parent black teenage males. Who else buys $300 sneakers?"So, what will you wear instead? Assistant Village Idiot:
You can't wear football, baseball, or soccer cleats for street wear. There are some other uniform pieces you can sorta wear in public. Brim hats, jerseys, wristbands, socks - yet none of those work quite as well as sneakers. Branding works better for basketball, which may be why the game is spreading faster at the moment. The branding and the sport reinforce each other. Odd how major changes of culture and huge amounts of money can turn on such small things.Do you wear any baseball gear around the house? Not white after Labor Day, I hope. Books As a warm-up for tomorrow's Book Thread, a review and an interview I ran across. Got anything interesting on your reading list? This is a new-to-me blog: I added some extra spacing to the quote below:
finally got around to reading The Road to Serfdom. Yes, it is worthwhile reading. He undertakes to show how any attempt to redesign a society along centrally planned lines, as every version of socialism (National Socialist or Fascist or International Socialist or Democratic Socialist) tries to do, will, by the logic of planning and the limits of the human mind, tend inevitably to try to control not "merely economic things" but by extension every aspect of life . . . control information, and revise the meaning of words. And so it has proved. For a simple example, those enamored of centralized re-education have spent the effort to try to redefine words like "racism" and "free speech" to try to eliminate contrary positions without debate.Hayek was a smart guy. Feeling contemplative? George Gilder discusses his book Life after Google. His earlier books are said to have explained some things before they happened. Anybody read one of them? Back to School Hypnotic math gifs for the kids, for when the math teacher starts holding forth on 'imperialism' and 'cultural intolerance'. And Democratic Party propaganda. From the midterm:
The emergence of the Tea Party played a central role in the 2008 U.S. presidential election, . . The victor was Barak Obama who, like Bill Clinton, served as U.S. president for 8 years. The two men guided always by the strength of character and force of intellect of First Lady Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton."Finally! A math class with no need for math! History George Washington's Dinner Table in Manhattan:
FYI: "Macaroni" was slang for posh folk back in the day (which is exactly why Yankee Doodle feels dandy when he sticks a feather in his cap). "If you were macaroni," says our guide, "you had swag." And George Washington, being the most macaroni of them all, chose Fraunces' Long Hall to bid farewell to his troops after the war was won.Lots of interesting details and photos. Got anything interesting planned this weekend? Thinking of taking up soft shoe?

Come on. Don't twist my words. I never said anyone deserved it. Just that everyone has weather shit to deal with be it fires, hurricanes, mudslides, blizzards, floods, whatever. It's just that hurricanes are good made for TV disasters since the buildup is a week long and makes for nice drama for the weather guy standing by the beach with palm trees going sideways.

While I'm only 29, long sets are still not fun. Had my drumming baptism by fire a few years ago when I went to a blues jam session hosted by a friend. There were no drummers, so he sat me on drums.
For two hours and 45 minutes straight.
Then a couple of months later, had another drumming gig where I played for 2.5 hours straight. Yeah, I was sore afterwards. Just a bit.

I've heard the theory that "No white after Labor Day" was because people started needing to heat their homes around the first of September. And a lot of that heat was from coal whose dust would ruin white fabric. Interesting, if accurate, to see an anachronistic survival of the rule with no memory of the reason.

DotCom bubble, Housing bubble .. same deal really. And a quadrillion in the unregulated derivative market that still lurks in the shadows. TARP bailed them out but not the people that had the houses ... it was the people at Morgan and Goldman that cheated and got out of their leveraged positions (see "The Big Short") ... those guys made the big leveraged position money ... in the end they are the ones that got bailed out.
Obama then got his zero interest rate policy and quantitative easing ... two thing we never had in our history, to further prop up the globalist players. Those investing their retirement in that game also sot to go for the free money ride ... investing in China based production, and then the FAANG magic internet machines (which just so happen to be censoring conservatives here, and helping China/Germany censor and spread propaganda)
Socialism tends to "fascism", but "capitalism" is not the opposite of socialism. LIBERTY first, our Republic, is the opposite. Individual sovereignty, Bill of Rights ... that is the opposite. Under that a controlled capitalism can work. But they turned our currency into a fiat currency, then even worse ... ZIRP and QE broke off the rudder and the mast and set us adrift in a stormy sea.
NWO and the global currency ... I think they still have plans for US ... and the oligarchs we bailed out have a lot of power.

Before that, hurricane hunter airplanes were in use from the early 50s or maybe late 40s; I'm not sure.
Before that, people on land had to rely on radio reports from ships at sea, and even that didn't exist before the 20th century.
Hurricane forecasting in the 19th century involved studying and charting barometric pressures and looking for patterns. With luck, there might be a report from a ship that had just put into port and observed a storm out at sea.
Which reminds me, I bought a copy of "Isaac's Storm" a couple months ago but haven't gotten around to reading it yet.

If it needs to be said, it is easy to mistake what one sees on our teevee screens for reality.
And just because the media outlets don't show footage of natural disasters in one's area of the country, does NOT mean that "people don't give a f**k."
Does this really need to be spelled out?

PDT's also been defanging the EPA.
Funny that the Progs are all talking about abolishing ICE. That's the wrong federal agency to be talking about getting rid of. We should start with Edumacation, Energy, and the EPA for starters. IIRC, all those agencies are duplicated at the state level, so what's the point? Besides exercising power over us normals, that is.

Trump's renegotiations of various foreign trade agreements, most notably with China but also NAFTA and the EU to a lesser degree, is absolutely having an impact on the economy.
The Canadian economy lost 50,000 jobs in August while our economy continues to add jobs. These are not unrelated data points.
In the end, these deals will be the real engine that drives growth for years.

Yeah, the truth is, weather around here (St. Louis) isn't all that bad. Winters aren't terrible, summers are muggy, but otherwise bearable. We get rain, like everybody else, and the tornadoes that pop through don't tend to touch down all that often in populated areas.

Government also makes a lot of banking laws (fractional reserve banking) but let Fannie/Freddie cheat and go 25:1 (banks were 9:1, and usually local control, they knew their borrower, they took the risk). Franklin Raines testified they would be safe at 50:1, as he sold junk as AAA and passed the risk to other entities. (and rake in tens of millions in bonuses, as it went bust ... Jamie Gorelick did the same iirc)
But the idea of some leverage and some laws that encourage investment does indeed promote economic activity, and that does kinda make the world go around. But they let a powerful few cheat and go super leverage, then bailed them out as they bribed DC.
The DC bribery game was at its height with pay to play Hillary, and her foundation was illegal, and all assets from major players bribing her could be seized ... and BAMMM we pay down the debt, fix everything ... nirvana just around the corner.
that would be some major upheaval ... but really, needed. We talk about "a reset", and that would be a better way to go than NWO and some global currency. And better than trying to keep inflating the currency. But oligarchs and DeepState are fighting tooth and nail to stop any such action.

In Central WA where I live, we do get weather but it's usually not catastrophic as a lot of places. Some snow, some heat. Smoke from fires sometimes. Breezy a fair bit. The occasional quake and very occasional volcanic eruption. Seattle is much more vulnerable to quakes especially. Plus, if it goes more than a week there without rain, people forget how to drive in it. Check out the You Tube videos of Seattle in snow and ice. Steep hills, buses and crashes.

My goodness, I work in the still beating heart of drug and gangland St. Louis... and then I drive 15 minutes (longer when it freakin' rains!!) home, and all of that disappears. Completely.
I am strongly considering moving to somewhere small, but that's partially work related, as I'm getting fed up with the never-ending battles.

never wanted to move to nyc but took a job there out of college. hated it for the first year. you have to give it a shot before you knock it but it is ridiculously convenient once you figure it out. nyc is of a scale and design that makes it unlike any other city in the U.S.

I believe some phone carriers have a shake app and it uses the inertia sensor of phones within the system to detect seismic events. Last I'd read as few as 4 phones that are linked to the system will trigger a warning.
What it didnt tell me is if the smart phones detect the "P" wave which travels faster and is less destructive than the seismic wave.

Hurricane Andrew forced the whole state to tighten up their building codes to do things like tie the roof supports to the walls and anchor the walls to the floors. Shortened up roof overhangs, too.
You can spot the pre- vs post-Andrew homes pretty readily.

As a patriot, I feel like fighting the good fight, having a sense of purpose, trying to revitalize rural America ... and grow things. One of the brothers that does some of my farming is married to a surgeon, and once their daughter graduates this year, he says she wants to read books on some island, he plans to stay and likes farming.
Hard to say where all this diversity stuff ends, and people make their money of foreign stock portfolios instead of investing in their community in some way. But ... things change. Being "rooted and grounded" changes ... we live much of our life on the internet. weird.

Readings:
1) "The Field of Blood" by Nicholas Morton tells the story of the 12th Century attempts by the Crusaders to capture Aleppo, Syria. And the parallels with today's Syria are so exacting that the author had to add an Afterword acknowledging that Syria is now what it ever was and probably always will be.
2) "Skin in the Game" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb is kind of a dense read initially but is the Anti-Obama "Skin" and tells how "risk" which is being totally removed from our Prog Elites lives is the thing that keeps humanity on the straight and narrow or at least on the road-bed.

I'm sure their are "good" cops in Chicago, but they certainly don't make any of the decisions. And they're not in the majority.

NY idiots, if explained the whys and wherefores of a system, would roll their eyes and say that it is wrong, backward, and only they could 'fix' whatever; essentially shut up you ignorant farmers.

well, it is possible that the problem is with the midwesterners. spent lots of time in mpls where everyone would go on about "mn nice", which was hard for people from other regions to get used to. mn nice means that everyone is very friendly and polite, but that is it, it is more or less a veneer. simply because they are nice and polite does not mean that they want to be friends or that there is anything personal in the niceness, quite the opposite, the niceness is nothing personal.
nyers may have a tougher exterior but they a much friendlier and more engaging once you get past the exterior.

If you are only nice to people who get to know you, then you're self-serving and selfish.
Sorry, this is not going to be a "nice" comment here.

Dems are probably doing in in their private discussions. I do think, though he was somewhat prepared for it having been through questioning before, I imagine for some sort of Judgeship and they had a trial questioning with hit supporters. But school children with the "feels". No; I doubt he could be prepared for that. It's not that I don't care about the kids, but good grief-Supreme Court doesn't make laws.

Apropos of nothing: Ben Shapiro bet $10,000 that Hillary would win. I assume it was even odds, not NYT-Huffpo Coronation Watch odds.
Source?
He said so in his Sunday interview with Greg Gutfeld, which I recommend. If Hillary, like Dove soap, had 98.1% chance of winning, then the payout would have been $190.
I keep bringing this up but ... Shapiro thought it was hilarious when there was an early-morning SWAT on Cohen's home and office. Any lawyer worth a damn would find it troubling. The liberal #HotTake when it happened was that Mueller had something red-hot explosive, so that it would be "worth it" to abuse his power so egregiously. Just wait and it will come out... That was in April.

Taleb has the kinds of insights that are narrowly recognized today, but which I believe will make him a "must read" author for hundreds of years to come. He grasps fundamental truths in a way that most can't comprehend - take his point about risk. Trying to eliminate risk in our daily lives in fact massively increases the risk to our societies, and to all of us who are part of these societies. Because it turns manageable, individual risk into unmanageable, systemic risk.
Allowing a constant level of personal risk is in fact the safest path any society can follow. But it takes understanding and insight to grasp that.

We jumped at the opportunity to move out, almost twenty-five years ago. Kids hit their teens while living on an Oklahoma ranch. Even though we bungled many things in the move, and I have not made a good decisions since, I never regret leaving Chicago. The Chicago we miss largely isn't really there anymore, as a recent visit reminded us.

Pretty sure you meant SE KS there. "Green Country" is our neighborhood. Nice lakes, no oceans. Pretty hills, no mountains. Not as hot as Phoenix in the summer. Not as cold as Alaska in the winter. Always drought or deluge. The tornado belt has moved north and east, but we still get 'em. We're getting the fracking-induced earthquakes under control. And only two Islamic terrorist training camps (that we know of). Also, armed citizenry.

Oh, and by the way, the champagne socialists already have private security people to keep the "vibrancy" at bay. It's just the White middle class that has to worry. Besides, the cops only "protect" people accidentally. They are part of the punishment phase of the criminal justice system, since you're already going to be robbed, raped, or dead by the time they arrive.

increases the risk to our societies, and to all of us who are part of
these societies. Because it turns manageable, individual risk into
unmanageable, systemic risk.
" Servo
good point. But imo the real elites (Goldman, Morgan, other Int'l "banks", maybe Soros) ... they are not eliminating risk, they are a mafia controlling risk by buying policy in DC, and stealing from America. (2Big2Fail/Jail, Soros running propaganda, buying AG elections)
Socialization of risk, privatization of profit.
So they leveraged way up on their quant program, but when they failed got the bailouts. And they seem to choose our presidents (usually) and arrange things to avoid risk TO THEM, piling debt on US.
Yes that becomes systemic risk to us ... but they hold the power to threaten us, since they can force monetary "contagion". (watch "All the Plenary's Men" on You-Tube ... exactly what they did in getting HSBC off the hook when caught money laundering $2B for drug cartels)
The 20 or so globalist banks believe they are their own law, above our law. They are trying to make us a client state, subsidiary to them. Our wealth has been extracted, their bets covered by our politicians promising to back them with the good faith and credit of our country. We basically took out a second mortgage on the country ... to underwrite the markets.
It is war, not them managing risk. Our country went deep in debt, our currency stretched, and they became trillionaires.
But indeed, we need local banks making local loans, not international banks running all lines of credit.

Yeah, Phobos is so close to Mars it orbits nearly three times a day.
There is a "sweet spot" in Venus' atmosphere where the temperature and pressure are about the same as Earth. So you would need an oxygen tank, but maybe not a space suit. I don't know about radiation protection, though.

My only reason for getting it was I thought it would be an easy fix. It needs either a complete engine rebuild, or a used engine swapped into it. And with those "modern" EFI engines, it pretty much has to be the same exact year and model donor car, to mate up with all the electronics. I would wind up spending more money than the car is worth.
I'm keeping a few upper engine parts, a few brake parts, the rear axle, transmission, and the 4 aluminum wheels with good tires. Rest goes to the crusher.

I took care of an uncle for a couple years, who had some major pain pills that left him constipated. So his most excited look was when he'd say "my bowels are moving".
Those outcomes varied, but when I go I now frequently repeat his phrase and expression, and always laugh. But it is kinda sad when life seems to revolve around getting a little such relief.

BUT ... his opponent this election is a hippy dippy chick with the approximate IQ of a rutabaga, who clearly would be even worse.

I think this is a conservative aspect of Asimov's writing. The 50 sparsely colonized Spacer worlds ended up more advanced than Earth. Earth was a representation of a filthy, smelly barbaric urban area and the Spacer worlds were cleaner more civilized rural areas. It also implies something like states rights. The right of a territory not to be controlled by a central authority, even if that authority can "outvote" it due to a dense population.

There will be a series of five cases naming the former Argentine president for supposed corruption during her term in office as President.
The hearings are to review alleged irregularities in the award of contracts to companies tied to the ex-president.
If you remember, when CFK flew the presidential plane to Europe to participate in a summit, she parked the plane in Morocco because she was concerned that it would be seized for Argentina having defaulted on debt repayments.
I am wondering if Argentina should stop electing the widows of populist politicians. I am also glad we avoided doing that here.

S&CB,
I'm just glad I left the hospital with my colon intact.
Having to poop is kinda ugh, but the alternative is pooping through a hole in your belly.
Teleporting poop via RC doodads in the butt just screams danger, albeit in a vastly humorous way.
We, being a species that have an affinity for putting things in our butts that shouldn't be there, build this thing, the end result of such a device would be nothing short of catastrophic.

Yeah, that's a pretty clear sign of banana republic status.
We've avoided it so far, but the population continues to be dumbed down. Plus we keep importing people who think it's normal.

Speaking of exercise, I've had a 1.5 week (thus far) bout of what I think is bronchitis (though now low-intensity) and tried hitting the elliptical this morning for the first time since initially getting sick. I couldn't make it the full 22 minutes due to feeling absolutely wiped out. This sucks.

Holy shit! Today is the anniversary! Sept. 8, 1900.
I think I will sign off now and spend the rest of the day on it.

Nyarlathotep is now facing one of the greatest threats in Its presidency so far. I should know, I clock in to kneel at Its feet upon the Altar of Despair every day.
In the year-and-a-half since the Black Pharaoh replaced the Oval Office with a literal blood fountain throne, I've watched as the hits keep on coming. The executive cabinet is wracked with scandal, ordinary citizens who signed the cultist oath are making good on their grave pacts, and, of course, the entirety of the country's water supply is now teeming with pulsating eggs from some kind of inter-dimensional parasite. It's easy to look at these kinds of headlines, to read these sorts of leaked stories from the desiccated Capitol Hill, and see an unsustainable administration. Rumors of reversal incantations are beginning to make the rounds, and if our Commander-in-Chief is not careful, It could find Itself cast back among the stars beyond the universe. The past few weeks, in particular, have seen our President certainly live up to our campaign slogan "I See All, and It Shall Burn."

Way back when, Mel Carnahan, who was the sitting Governor of Missouri, was the nominee for the Senate, running against John Ashcroft, a white bread Republican.
Carnahan, along with a family member or two, and the pilot, went to his death in a small plane crash, while campaigning.
The Dems made it known that if Mel was elected posthumously, the Widow Carnahan would take his seat. So we proceeded to elect him.
Next chance we got, of course, we tossed the old bag out on her arse, but still.
We had the distinction of being, I think, the only Senate race where we elected a dead man.

Right there will Mel Carnahan... if AoSHQ threads go to Hades, that is.
