The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

"I have waited, hoping they would right the ship. But they have not. In opposition to our Unity Principles, they have allowed anti-Semitism, anti-LBGTQIA sentiment and hateful, racist rhetoric to become a part of the platform by their refusal to separate themselves from groups that espouse these racist, hateful beliefs," Teresa Shook


Quote II

"I am disappointed. It used to be if you wanted to change something, you worked with the contract to change it," she continued. "They just said, ‘We don't want it,' and they are demonstrating against it and it's jobs. It's jobs. I've never seen anything like this." Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D., N.Y.)


Quote III

They spread fake news, and now they're making a bunch of excuses for spreading fake news. Then they wonder why people don't trust them.

The only alternative would be to admit they believed a ridiculous story because they wanted to believe it, and to apologize to the people they smeared by associating them with a hate crime that never actually happened. Jim Treacher

Victor Davis Hanson, always a good read, today a great read. The Autopsy Of A Dead Coup

No palace coup can take place without the perception of popular anger at a president.

The deep state is by nature cowardly. It does not move unless it feels it can disguise its subterranean efforts or that, if revealed, those efforts will be seen as popular and necessary—as expressed in tell-all book titles such as fired FBI Directors James Comey’s Higher Loyalty or in disgraced Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe’s psychodramatic The Threat.

In candidate and President Trump’s case that prepping of the battlefield translated into a coordinated effort among the media, political progressives and celebrities to so demonize Trump that his imminent removal likely would appear a relief to the people. Anything was justified that led to that end.

Goldman Sachs: "Is curing patients a sustainable business model?" analysts ask in an April 10 report entitled "The Genome Revolution."

"The potential to deliver 'one shot cures' is one of the most attractive aspects of gene therapy, genetically-engineered cell therapy and gene editing. However, such treatments offer a very different outlook with regard to recurring revenue versus chronic therapies," analyst Salveen Richter wrote in the note to clients Tuesday. "While this proposition carries tremendous value for patients and society, it could represent a challenge for genome medicine developers looking for sustained cash flow."

Social Justice Warrior raises hell with former employer.

Camila worked for Ristretto Roasters, my husband Din’s coffee roasting company in Portland, Oregon, for five years. She received regular promotions and by 2016 was earning a mid-five figure salary. In October of last year, Camila resigned. The end.

Or, the end until last month, when she sent an email to more than two dozen former and current Ristretto Roasters employees, alerting them to the YouTube series, #MeNeither Show, that fellow journalist Leah McSweeney and I launched in December 2018. In three half-hour episodes, we had discussed, among other topics, celebrities who have exploited the #MeToo movement, and the difference between sexual predators and those swept-up in the excesses of the current moment. The show’s “about” page reads, “#MeNeither is an almost-weekly conversation about the cultural issues of the day, and an attempt to create a space where people can find ways to think out loud through uncomfortable topics.”

No statue is safe. Karl Marx: Monument vandalised for second time in two weeks

Karl Marx's memorial in north London has been vandalised for the second time in two weeks.

The words "Doctrine of Hate" and "Architect of Genocide" are scrawled in red on the Grade I-listed grave in Highgate Cemetery.

This latest incident follows a "deliberate and sustained" hammer attack on 4 February that left the memorial badly damaged.

There have been no arrests in connection with either attack.

Friends of Highgate Cemetery Trust said the German philosopher's memorial would "never be the same again" following the previous attack

Keeping the ultimate secret from your children. Is it the right thing to do?

My Wife Was Dying, and We Didn’t Tell Our Children

The choice was unusual, but loving: We wanted them to live without the shadow of their mother's mortality hanging over them.

We decided not to tell the kids. Marla knew that once our three daughters understood that their mother had been given 1,000 days to live, they’d start counting.

They would not be able to enjoy school, friends, their teams, or birthday parties. They’d be watching too closely—how she looked, moved, acted, ate, or didn’t. Marla wanted her daughters to stay children: unburdened, confident that tomorrow would look like yesterday.

Don't you just hate nosy neighbors? Police visit young entrepreneur.

As the Free Thought Project reported last year, 2018 was the year of the snitches as neighbors turned in fellow neighbors to authorities for selling water, lemonade, or for simply being black at your own apartment complex pool. This see something say something society is the wet dream of the authoritarian and as a recent case of a boy selling hot chocolate in Pennsylvania illustrates, it is showing no signs of slowing.

One would think that in the ostensible land of the free, a little boy selling hot chocolate to willing customers to warm them up on a winter’s day would never be an issue over which people would call the police. However, one would be wrong.

Andrew Donaldson, of Castle Shannon, received a hefty dose of the see something say something state earlier this month when his hot chocolate sales landed him in the cross hairs of police state dependent neighbors.

Naked, belligerent and Genius Award Winner.

-Cops today arrested a “naked and belligerent” Florida Woman for allegedly attacking her fiancée after he declined to have sex with her, according to a police report.

Officers responding early this morning to a disturbance call at a Vero Beach apartment building encountered Samantha Jewel Hernandez, 21, sans clothes and in an ornery mood. Hernandez (pictured at right) denied doing anything to her fiancée, “but was too intoxicated” to provide further information.

95 They spread fake news, and now they're making a bunch of excuses for spreading fake news. Then they wonder why people don't trust them.

What they refuse to face up to is that those people at Trump rallies who are booing them, felt disgusted with them long before Trump seriously entered the race for president. I know because if I were at a Trump rally, I would be booing right along with the rest.

I used to flip from MSNBC to FOXNEWS, to CNN, to HLN, to the alphabet network news shows. It reached a point where I was so disgusted with their liberal bias, that I stopped watching them entirely. It's been at least 10 years.

Our youngest is autistic with some other stuff. One of my favorite memories is when he was about four years old. I was struggling with the diagnosis and our plans and I was reading everything I could get my hands on, and I had bought a book that was essentially "How to Deal With the Weird Sh*t Autistic Children Do."

I often use post it notes in books to mark pages that I want to revisit. Sometimes I use the colored ones to indicate different things, too. One day I discovered that book where I'd left it but with all the post it notes removed and placed carefully beside one another - very nearly touching but all uniformly spaced - on the first few pages of the book, and all according to color and probably some further organization inside his head.

That moment taught me more than the books I'd read, and something about it let me know that everything would work out okay. Challenging and a downright PITA at times, but okay. Because we could still have fun. A different kind of fun that needed a different kind of thinking to see, but still fun.

157 One of the best concerts I ever saw, and it surprised me because it was so much better than I expected, was Lyle Lovett and his Large Band (it's Large not Big) in Bass Hall in Fort Worth.

He's the epitome of a performer who is infinitely better live than canned, and he has the gift of being a true entertainer, not just a performer. What amazed me the most was that his band of about 20 players would do about 5 songs in one style - say, bluegrass; and then they'd stop and execute a shift, just like a football team, and about 5 players would go off and 5 others would come on , and they'd do 50's rock. Then a bit later, a shift and a black soul chorus would come on and they'd do gospel with a bit of mo-town - and on, and on, for more than 3 hours, and I lost track of how many styles they did, all flawless. & Every time there wasn't music going, Lovett would stand in front, telling stories, doing standup comedy, talking about the band, everything, and he had the entire place eating out of his hand. More than 3 hours, and *everybody* hated to see the show end and wanted more.

It wasn't just the music, it was joyous to watch a professional who knows what true Entertainment is!

158 Evening Horde.

I'm having a day and my fam sure could use some horde prayers. The blurb up top about the decision to keep bad medical news from the kids has been acted out irl here today.

Spent the day at Cleveland Clinic with my uncomplaining better half. Long story short: her lead MD, a neurologist, noticed a marked increase in both the severity and frequency of her symptoms related to her constellation of auto immune issues. No surprise there. But, he wants to now bring in a Rheumatologist to get a deeper handle on her Lupus-like and arthritis issues. (Which, while major, have been secondary up until now.)

It's serious but we are not desperate and hopeful for a very slow decline where we annoy each other into our 90's.

Hard to believe but that's not the problem.

I never told my kids about their birth mother's mental illness. They were only 9 and 10 when she died. What would I say? Your mom's a loon? They may know now but they never speak of her. I think it still hurts too much.

My youngest lives with us now and has since his discharge from the Navy. All three of us here are enjoying the shit outta it. He is a great house guest. Kind, helpful, happy. He took his mother's death particularly hard oh so many years ago. He found her body and then didn't speak for about 2-3 months after that. I mean at all. After I remarried, in all ways except for genetic, R was and is his mom. She brought him out of his shell and is a developed into a fine, young man. So,

Last night at dinner I told him we were going to spend the day at CC. Whoa was he po'd. He demanded to know why in detail. And today he is stomping mad. (He never is normally) R went to talk to him after we got home to see if he would/could calm himself and to reassure him. I didn't go to med school but even a fool like me can see he thinks he is going to lose another mom. Well, he's going to at some point, he's 40 years younger than her.

I have never minded the sword of life's shittyness falling on me. But when the blast radius includes the kids it just makes me sick.

166 Little got in truck today when picked her up from school and started telling me about some weird guest speaker they had.

Apparently the woman wrote a fairly popular book on the dangers of being a helicopter parent and the need to let kids have autonomy and make mistakes.

During her address to the middle school assembly, she is whipping the kids into a celebratory frenzy about telling parents not to be reading their emails or looking at their phones. She invites one boy up and asks him what he is gonna do if his parents try to read his emails. Kid says "Tell them to back off!".
Speaker applauds and assembly goes nuts.

"Then", says little, "she called me up, Dad. And she asked me what I'd do if you wanted to read my text messages".

"Oh yeah? What did you stay?", I asked.

"I told her I didn't care if you read my texts, you are paying for my phone. I told her it was the government reading my texts that makes me mad."

"What did she say to that?"

"Nothing really. My history teacher started laughing really hard though."


Little makes me very happy and proud of her.

Agreed.

In 2017 a co worker of mine killed himself. Found out after the fact he had terminal cancer-- and he had told NOBODY, including his parents, family, work, friends, anyone. He paid for all his treatments out of pocket to keep it from hitting his insurance and letting anyone know.

After two years the doc told him he was terminal. So he went to stay with his parents, then one day he went to Home Depot with his dad to buy some remodeling stuff. They came back to the house, smoked cigars on the back porch, he excused himself, went into the room he was staying in and shot himself in the head.

All I could think was: Cancer is awful shit. But that was an asshole thing to do to your frigging parents.

FWIW: my sister-in-law was diagnosed with Lupus a few years ago. Things looked pretty bad. I spent many a night letting my niece vent because she freaked at the thought of losing her mom. My brother was taking his wife back and forth to doctors. Eventually, the treatments kicked in and started to work. She's really better now and back to her old self; she still takes some medicine. Once in a while, she'll have a day where she's a little 'off', but we'd probably never notice it if we hadn't spent so much time on high alert.

He was a creep, TBH, but had a knack for offending the Ruling Class just as often as he offended decent folk.

He howled with laughter at the American media for considering Michelle Obama a fashion icon.
And after the French Assembly passed the law allowing gay "marriage," he (being gay) said he would indeed marry --- but would wait a few years until the Assembly allowed him to marry his cat.

It is a sad thing when you find the body of a loved on. The spark of life leaving them as mere clay is terrible to see. So a special prayer for him.

Give my best to your son. I guess the Navy we love is not the thing to stay in, anymore.

250 And I think it is wrong to not tell your children that Mom is very sick.

-
My sister was sick with cancer and did not tell our mother until a week or ten days before her death. They had a difficult relationship, I'm convinced that my mother was more than eccentric, was actually mentally ill, and my sister was convinced that had she known, my mother would have blamed her for getting cancer. I find that credible. I knew for a good two years before her death and felt uncomfortable that my mom didn't know but I thought it was my sister's decision. My mother died two months after my sister.

265 The best Lyle Lovett show we've seen, was at the Indian casino near Rome, NY, just Lyle, the drummer, and two excellent singers, one playing fiddle, the other guitar. We could touch the footlights.

We rode the elevator earlier with the drummer, Russ Kunkel, and had a brief chat. Russ was married to Nicolette Larson long ago, she of the sweet voice.

After the concert, we ran into the fiddle player, Luke Bulla, in the lobby and told him how much we liked the show. Luke has a terrific voice.

We saw Lyle and Vince Gill in a two-man act and while good, it was not as good as Lyle with those three.

One a full-moon night in Denver a few years ago, we were lucky to see Lyle and his large band at Red Rocks, from the center of row 6. Great show!

I have learned to play and sing some of his songs, one of my favorites being "West Texas Highway."

I'm not offended, but we have one super-duper Dylan fan here on the ONT.

I've only seen him once. That was about 4 years ago in a small theatre. The stage was fairly dark and in his advanced age more difficult to understand him.

I went with the MidKid who is a big fan and she was happy. And that made me happy.

Golf Balls are round and not as dense as some poop can be. And poop can be odd shaped. Then there's the TP. some dissolves faster than others and will go faster and some stays together longer and creates friction slowing the load down.

307 "Is curing patients a sustainable business model?"

*******

Ah, the delicious irony. Medicine as an industry does not really want to cure disease.

Single gene therapy in the foreseeable future will have only very limited applications. But consider along with this the concept of "early detection" that is marketed under the trade name of "preventive medicine". There are particular instances where detecting a condition in the pre-symptomatic stage does not really give you an advantage in terms of treatment that improves life expectancy (for example, minor heart valve abnormalities).

What it does provide though is a plausible reason to schedule recurring evaluations to "monitor the progress" of the condition, even though it remains pre-symptomatic. In other words, come back for another $2000 test every year for the next 10-20 yeaars.

Talk about your sustainable revenue models!

Best concert I've seen? That's a tough one.

The Eagles "Long Run" concert was excellent.

Best double bill concert was "The Moody Blues" and "Chicago." A couple of members of Chicago came out and jammed with "The Moody Blues."

Both bands were a bit past their prime, but, man, they were pros and knew what they were doing.

Runners up:

Ozzie Osbourne and Rush

Almost forgot, saw "Metallica" live.

Worst: Van Halen. Over amplified crap. Only good thing was Eddie doing an extended guitar solo.

Anyone here ever hear of, or see, what sounds like a new talk show called "Hot Ones"??

As I understand it, it's a talk show where the guests all chat... while eating extra-hot buffalo wings.

I also heard Gordon Ramsay was invited as a guest on one of the shows, and he spent the entire time putting down the flavor of the wings.

Well, today I had my first infusion of some crap dubbed "Simponi Aria" for this damnable arthritis. It's a "biologic" TNF inhibitor and is immune suppressive.

My rheumatologist insisted. I'd been taking methotrexate for too long and he was worried about my liver, plus the last disease activity test showed the RA was increasing.

This stuff is ridiculously expensive. The dose I took today was about $2K -- just for the drug, two little vials.

My insurance would only cover so much of it, but the office managed to get me on some damned program to cover the rest of it. Supposedly.

No reactions to it so far. We'll see if it does any good.

323 A recent poll said 42% of American voters know the last 2 years of the Corridor Press truth, that President Trump colluded with Putin and Russia.


It's just true. It happened. This isn't even an issue for discussion. Don't believe me, just go watch CNN or NBC.

Hands up! Don't shoot!


Add it to the list of lies the press and their tools, the Dems, have collectively inflicted upon us.


That is the current starting point, should anyone think open communication is an option to solve the differences in political beliefs. But who, exactly, should one attempt to communicate?


Is it easier to appeal to the portion of the 58% that pay attention, or try to educate the hypnotized by their own media-driven form of false truth?

It depends on the details. If she has 1000 days, they could at least wait until it becomes obvious that her health is failing, or until closer to the end. I've known a couple of families who had a family member with terminal cancer. When it takes a few years, it is emotionally draining on the family.

332 I don't think I've ever been to a concert. I did go to an F1 race last year and heard the symphony of engines, so that was pretty good. (Plus my fave driver started 18th and finished 2nd. I got to see him make a bunch of overtakes.)

Sorry Bro. I hope I was not contributing. I'm not sure why my own depression has been better the last couple years. Thinking about it this evening, there's more regular exercise, a new role at work I am really enjoying, and I got cochlear implants. I'm guessing only the first is easily replicable by others...

On that last, there was actually a whole hell of a lot happening in the world that I didn't know about. Hard to explain. A lot of little things, like numerical keypads, like for locks, make beeping noises. I'm still adjusting to all the new info. It's pretty great, TBH.

335 Vanya, I absolutely agree to suicide like that is a horrible thing to do to your family. But that was not the case here.

The mom just didn't want her kid's childhood stolen from them because of focus on her illness. Went through this with a SIL. She did her best to shield them until it was close to the end. They were little children and didn't need to be thinking about such things. They had fun with her, without worries, for several years before she died.

And all the other people who've tried to help, they meant well too. It just always reminds me of growing up with Tourette's, and how my family reacted before they knew what it was. "Have you tried...NOT doing that?"

Yeah. I have. My whole life.

I guess it just irked me that in the same thread where ace is firing back snarky spitballs at people crashing his keto party with their own well-meaning advice of "just eat less and work out more," I'm being given dimestore capsule tidbits of warmed over received wisdom. Like "get more sunlight" is going to be the epiphany that lofts me forever out of this cocoon of malignant, stifling ennui.

So if he's going to say "Well how much weight did you lose, champ" to anybody who offers the Government Accepted Food Pyramid advice, I'll say "How many major depressives have you cured lately, champ" to anybody telling me that their one little trick is going to solve for the variable in my personal unhappiness equation that no one has been able to crack for 31 years.

350 What's wrong? I mean, just the normal stuff. Life largely seems like a meaningless slog towards oblivion. I generally dislike the people I interact with. I hate my job but I also hate the process of getting a new one. I fulfilled a lifelong dream and now I feel empty, not to mention that I hit the apex of my little story and it's all downhill from here.

---

I mentioned struggling with a child's diagnosis above and sort of figuring out how to deal with a lifetime of unknowns, and it was miserable. I was surprised to find how useful going to a psychologist was. Not laying on the couch and talking about my dreams or any of that crap, but just being able to say things out loud that I couldn't or didn't want to say out loud to my wife or family because they would be disheartening and depressing. It's amazing how much it helped, too.

You're joking, right?

One word: Ferguson .

As Al Bundy explained to his son Bud, the Ferguson "the king of bowls" and "the Stradivarius of toilets"

He went on to elaborate further:
"Bud, the toilets of today aren't worthy of the name. They come in designer colors and they're too low. And when you flush them, they make this little weak, almost apologetic sound. Not the Ferguson. It only comes in white. And when you flush it, 'BA-WOOSH'. That's a man's flush, Bud. A Ferguson says, 'I'm a toilet. Sit down and give me your best shot'."

358 I think you should tell the kids you mom is sick but leave out the probability of death as that's a bit in the future and who knows maybe for quite a while.

Plenty of time to have that talk about dying and shit. Better to have fun with the kids and not turn every good time into a moment of tears because they know there's a limit.

But truthfully, there's always a limit. The moment you take your first breath you begin to die. No one gets out alive and that's a point that should be a part of any child's education. God forbid not by Gov't. A church or some other calm setting.

And it would be good to have older folks talk about how it feels to be approaching the end of the line. Too many ppl go thru life not really thinking about what's going to happen to them at different stages and how they can make that time be more pleasant than under other circumstances.

388 Robbie - parents of autistic children report higher stress levels than even parents of children with *terminal diagnoses*.

Which makes sense to me. With a terminal diagnosis, you know what will happen. With an autistic kid, he could grow up to be perfectly functional, or he could spend his life in a home, and it's surprisingly difficult to predict which way it's going to go. Mine appears to be on a good path now, but there was definitely a time when I feared he would never be able to communicate above the level of a two year old. (And said time coincided with my youngest gaining a total of 1.1 lbs from the age of 9 mos to the age of 18 mos, thanks to constant illness. He's fine now, but I was not sure he was going to live at all. That was stress and no mistake... Oof. I'm glad those times are over.)

I hate my job but I also hate the process of getting a new one. I fulfilled a lifelong dream and now I feel empty, not to mention that I hit the apex of my little story and it's all downhill from here.

400 Broseidon's going through post-jeopardy depression.

This is when you get somewhere you always wanted to get to, had a great time felt like the best you've ever felt in your life.

And that's the key. Over dose. There's plenty of other experiences that can reach that high.

You can even get that high if you train your mind to make it happen.

Don't need drugs to elevate your mood. Or any thing or anyone else. Yes it's good to have other people and goals and stuff but to be tough you need to be able to perk yourself up on command. It takes training and you have to work at it and sometimes it can be very hard to achieve but it is doable.

411 Robbie - parents of autistic children report higher stress levels than even parents of children with *terminal diagnoses*.

Which makes sense to me. With a terminal diagnosis, you know what will happen. With an autistic kid, he could grow up to be perfectly functional, or he could spend his life in a home, and it's surprisingly difficult to predict which way it's going to go. Mine appears to be on a good path now...

---

Same here. I can remember watching all of our friends' kids turning three and four and growing out of their "challenging" ages, and ours were just getting worse and worse. He was over five before he really got a handle on the world.

Compared to our oldest I have no problem saying that some special needs kids are the care equivalent of two, and possibly even three, typical kids.

I think that life is a zero sum game; you get out of it what you put into it. I don't mean that you should go climb Mount Everest.

But to the people I really wanted to impress - my friends in the trivia community - I feel like I let them down. These are people who have won the Tournament of Champions - hell, one of them is Jeopardy's all time biggest money winner. And to a person, they basically said the same things. Yes, they all congratulated me, but they all said something like "Man, when I saw you win one I had you pegged for 5 or 6 more." Because they've actually faced me in person, and they know the level I usually play at. And I had my one chance to ever be even half as good as some of them, and I blew it. This is the one skill I've cultivated. It's the only thing I'll ever be elite at.

Posted by: nerdygirl at February 19, 2019 11:15 PM (+lVUW)

...

Her name is Jessica Lahey and she's actually got a very popular book, I think it's called The Gift of Failure, or something like that.

I actually agree with her to a large extent that helicopter parenting can get a little overzealous, that you need to let kids make mistakes and fail and learn from that.

But that really is a message that needs to be delivered to parents, not to a room full of 7th, 8th graders and high schoolersthat you are instructing to disobey and disrespect their parents.

It's a private Christian school, and they actually kinda expected some blowback from parents because I got an email this evening sort of preemptively apologizing and explaining that the school didn't necessarily agree with the speaker.

I'm a single dad, so my daughter and I probably have a different t relationship than most dad/daughters these days. I actually wasn't all that surprised that she bucked the trend of the speaker and other kids. But the bit about the government, well, I'm not gonna lie, it made me grin like a Cheshire Cat.

475 Dylan and The Band, 1974 tour, was outstanding. I was a freshman in college. Dylan and The Band were made to play together. The Band blended in with Bob and his vocal limitations weren't so bad. And Bob's vocals added to Robbie Robertson's, making a unique and better sound.


They played the Seattle Coliseum nearly 4 hours, together, then each had their own set, then they played together again.

Good times. Zeppelin 75 and Robin Trower 75 were top notch, too.

Sorry you're in a funk... Don't know what you posted to elicit the responses you got, but you can't blame peeps for trying. Sounds like you asked for advice or commiseration, and people responded with what they thought might help. All those things probably helped them at down times in their lives, but most people don't know what true depression feels like. My son has depression, so I know, by proxy, just a bit.

You can get through it. Many have and--don't take this the wrong way--but you're not that special. You're young yet; there will be many peaks ahead.

534 As for the cancer cure thing, Jasper Fforde addressed that in one of his Jack Spratt books. A company that made foot care treatments was going out of business because their treatments were too effective - no repeat customers.
Posted by: Mrs. Peel at February 19, 2019 10:30 PM (dksSP)

Of course, the fallacy there is that one needs repeat customers. Suppose you had an absolutely perfect lung cancer cure, that would completely cure lung cancer, and regenerate the damaged tissue. Guaranteed. I don't think a hundred grand would be too much to ask, would it. You get your life back, for a hundred G's. I'd do it, even if it meant selling my house and living in the back of a van down by the river.

There would be enough new cases of lung cancer arising spontaneously, forever, to keep the purveyor of that cure rolling in hookers and blow for centuries.

Would I pay a hundred G's for permanent immunity to the common cold? Probably not, since colds are mainly an inconvenience and a week's discomfort, not a death sentence.

Well, most of them actually have - a lot of them are multi game Jeopardy winners. But I don't think they were deriding me - I think they meant it to cheer me up, like they knew I was good enough to win more and that's just the breaks, sometimes it doesn't bounce your way. But I'm in a bad place now so it's just making me feel like I underperformed.

Karl Marx's memorial in north London has been vandalised for the second time in two weeks.
The words "Doctrine of Hate" and "Architect of Genocide" are scrawled in red on the Grade I-listed grave in Highgate Cemetery.

This latest incident follows a "deliberate and sustained" hammer attack on 4 February that left the memorial badly damaged.

There have been no arrests in connection with either attack.

Friends of Highgate Cemetery Trust said the German philosopher's memorial would "never be the same again" following the previous attack

Not a smart welder. An average guy who just wants to make truck payments on something new and lives hand to mouth like so many people do? Probably. But the Humanities grad caught up with him. Like water, they each found the same level.

A smart welder who invests as soon as can? No way the college kid catches him unless he's the 2-3% that gets some dream job paying six figures.

I can't explain it. I saw an endless parade of people disconnected from reality who 3000 years ago would be nothing but target practice for chariot archers. I still haven't found words. The first thing I noticed was the parking lot. There were shopping cart return areas every 10 frigging parking spots, yet the every empty space had a cart sitting in it. Some sections of the parking lot was a sea of shopping carts. I parked 100 yards away just to avoid it all. These lazy fucking useless eaters couldn't push a cart 2 spots away to put it in the collection area. None of them did, because while I was outside having a smoke I was watching. Some cars hit other carts and sent them flying

Then I see 2 dudes set off some alarm walking INTO the store, and then flip off the chick working the door when she tried to stop them. 5 minutes later I see some whale ass chick with a red bull call the same door chick a bitch. It just went on and on and on. Sometimes an actually horde of people showed up at the door at once like it was a frigging Iron maiden concert. It was 10pm. Where the hell do they grow these people? I can't put it into words. I'm just convinced society is just too far gone to survive.

631 TJ Cunningham, a Seahawks draft from CU, was murdered in Denver the other day. He was an assistant HS principal and a faithfully married father of five. He had a dispute with his thug neighbor over a parking spot.

He invited his thug neighbor to meet his big, strong self at a nearby location to hash things out like men.

This thug neighbor showed up and shot this upstanding member of society three times in his chest. Because he's a fucking coward.

But you'll hear about Jussie all day, and nobody cares about TJ, because this is black-on-black crime.

633 IIRC the Volt has a gasoline engine that doesn't do anything besides charge the electrical bits that run the car. Pretty clever, honestly, but one of the things that makes me not consider them at all. I doubt there's much of anything on that car that is terribly user-friendly (or cheap) when it comes time to repair something.

They just put in a metric boatload of self check things, though. They've always had a small section, but now it's more self check than live cashiers.

This is simple, really.

I'd wager that the larger Mo Meets could pony up the price of airfare, room & board, if you could fly in and put on an ersatz "Jeapordy" game for a bit of the night's entertainment.

If that proves successful, see about a licensing agreement with Trebek's production company, and take the show on the road, for real.

To "be" the game would be much more winning than merely "winning", I'd think.

All I saw was a long series of stills, plus sound. The stalled vehicle with Mickey Rooney (?) in it is a Universal Carrier, aka "Bren Gun Carrier". Light armor; the Weasel is a soft-skin vehicle. A weasel would not get stuck in soft sand, but a Carrier might, as it is twice as heavy, and has much narrower tracks.

I saw a complete (presumably working) one at a military vehicle show in Tempe last month. Never had a ride in one. I actually owned one for a while, but it was a complete wreck, and I donated it to a museum. The Weasel has languished in my shop for several years. I need to fire it up, and service some things. What I should do is remove the engine, and paint it and the engine compartment in the correct O.D., replace the oil pan, which leaks, with a good one that I have two of. Spiff up the interior a bit. Then remove the right side track, and straighten the bent front axle, which causes it to continually veer to the right, and slows it down. I think that could be done by slipping a long piece of thick-wall pipe over the axle, and just leaning into it fiercely. Axle is 2" solid steel, and theoretically removable, but I would not want to try it.

786 Ooh, I have a Walmart story...

My mom remained in the car (she hates shopping) while I was on a lengthy Superstore visit. I came out, loaded up the groceries, got in and listened to her tale.

First, the attention grabber -- Someone took a shit on the car. Say What??? Yep. Some homeless lookin' dude ambled up to the passenger side rear quarter panel, dropped trou, leaned against the car and took a dump. Then pulled up trou and ambled off.

Me -- Well, I guess we need to stop at the carwash on the way home. She nods.

Then she told me about a poor black lady, all hunched over and walking like every step was a major accomplishment. Like if she had two bad hips and knees.

She lurched over to several cars, all of which were being driven by black females, and panhandled them. Scored a few bills too per mom. Then a cop car entered the parking lot. Ms. Lurch suddenly straightened up and began walking rapidly for the nearest lot exit. Shades of Trading Places.

She got away, too. And people wonder why I'm cynical about bad luck stories.

So I came across a link to a sort of "footnotes" document to the Budget Deal passed. Some interesting detail that you don't get in the main Bill.]

One thing is just how expensive Wall is to build in Rio Grande...

Levee Wall : $345 M for 11 miles
...that's $31 Million per mile!

Pedestrian wall : $1B for 44 miles
... $22 Million per mile (must involve buying pricey private property)

Compare that to the $3.7 per mile it cost to build 20 miles in the NM desert.

This is a not a new part of culture. Wishful Thinking or believing that your beliefs can create something real is a big fault of the human condition. Every progressive position or program is built around this faulty logic.

Thinking that billionaires are a problem and wishing that there were no such thing was thinking that millionaires were the problem and wishing there were no such thing back in the early 1900s. And if we go back to 1800s it was the industrialist or rich merchant that was the problem and wishing them away would somehow make our life better.

Look at the Californication Last Train to Nowhere. I can go to LAX, BUR, or SNA and be in SJC or SFO in about an hour. Wishing that a train can do they same thing is just that, Wishing Thinking.

I think the last election may be the best example ever. HRC was a drunk, lazy, evil, hack semi-politician that never had a job or assignment that was not about scams, corruption, or deceit. Wishing Thinking allowed millions of people to believe that it was her turn to rule. They all believed that she came into her kingdom that they would be rewarded.

My guess is that she's on supplemental oxygen, probably a nasal cannula and doesn't want to be seen with that. Low oxygen levels could also be one of the reasons she falls asleep all the time.

Heh. Same here, except a little more colon taken and five pounds more gained.

The other day you mentioned that your prep was Gatorade and Miralax...same here! It is infinitely better than the chum they used to make you drink. Are you in Jersey by any chance?

And Tate's cookies: Addicted!

I found a copycat recipe for the chocolate chips which is pretty good. The flavor is there, but it needs tweaking for the crispiness.

903 Thinking that billionaires are a problem and wishing that there were no such thing was thinking that millionaires were the problem and wishing there were no such thing back in the early 1900s.

Pretty sure she is on supplemental oxygen either a tank or a small suitcase thingy. No way on earth does the left want anyone to see that.

We threw everything at her disease: lectures, research, involvement in cancer organizations, yoga, meditation, teas, soups. She even went to a storefront healer who lit incense, read her palm, and led her in prayer

I think that's part of it but I think his intent is to have people focus on the firing of Comey as the trigger that started everything and have people ignore anything that went on previously.

That's why the bogus story of the 25th Amendment came out, his talk of briefing the Gang of 8 in May 2017 and the fact that in his new book he doesn't even mention the Russia dossier. He's trying to get a largely apathetic public to ignore what really happened and believe his version of events.

It's not going to work but he has nothing else.
