Sunday Overnight Open Thread (4/14/19)
Quote I
“I’m not a fan. I think it cheapens taxonomy as a science and an art. Taxonomy is in a rough place right now. In general, when we are not funding crucial climate change and emerging disease research, taxonomy is very low on the list.” Christian Kammerer
Quote II
It’s almost as if someone said “No one has less knowledge of science, a higher opinion of himself, and a bigger carbon footprint than Al Gore” and Kerry replies “hold my champagne, I’m going to testify as a climate change expert.” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY)
Quote III
“I think that last voice was Eric Swalwell’s, and for your viewers that don’t know who that is, that’s a member of the Judiciary Committee and Intelligence Committee from California. “He’s running for president, which I’m sure none of your viewers are familiar with and they won’t be a year from now. So he’s trying to get attention.” Former Rep. Trey Gowdy
Quote IV
“They twisted these people. They got them in a perjury trap. They had them by the short hairs. They got them to cooperate and guess what? There was still no Russian collusion,” Geraldo Rivera
Less safe? Why we can't release illegal aliens in blue cities but they can roam free in the wilderness of TX, NM and AZ. Maybe Senator Spartacus should listen to Cher.
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) is a piece of shit. That is all.
JERRY NADLER: CONGRESS WILL JUDGE FOR ITSELF ON WHETHER PRESIDENT TRUMP OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE
‘... and for the public ultimately’
The more I hear from Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) the more I dislike her.
Presidential candidate and senator Kamala Harris revealed that she is a gun owner during an event in Iowa. “I am a gun owner. And I own a gun for probably the reason that a lot of people do, for personal safety,” the California Democrat said. “I was a former prosecutor.” Harris described the landscape of the Second Amendment debate as one of a false dichotomy: either you support the Second Amendment or you want to take everyone’s guns away.
Frankly I don't believe her claim of gun ownership. If she has to lie about smoking pot and listening to Rap music to pander for votes.................
It looked like it could be done on paper...............
One of the many problems with politicians is that they never have to be in the real world. Everything looks good from the governing chambers. NYC City Council condones being high on the job.
Marijuana use remains illegal in New York State, but the New York City council has voted to ban employers from testing job applicants for pot use as a condition of employment. Though the new law exempts certain employers from the ban, including transportation firms and federal contractors obligated to test for drugs, the council’s action is virtually unprecedented. Some courts in other states have ruled that workers using marijuana under medical supervision can’t be fired, but no other jurisdiction has so broadly banned preemployment testing. Advocates say that the new law will end the “stigma” associated with pot use, and they claim that testing for marijuana isn’t a good predictor of employee performance. But as with many of the arguments for legalization, these are dubious claims. The council’s action ignores substantial and growing evidence from scientific journals of pot’s negative effects, especially on younger people. And by telling employers whom they must hire, the council disregards the costs that marijuana use can inflict on a workplace.If I was a business owner and I knew someone was high or getting high on the job I would find a way to terminate that employee.
American Descendants of Slavery and the call for reparations.
On the surface, #ADOS, which stands for the American Descendants of Slavery, sounds like a hashtag for Black empowerment, perhaps a call to arms. However, dig through more than three tweets, and you’ll likely leave with more questions than answers as to what ADOS is really all about. Founded by controversial social media figures Yvette Carnell and Antonio Moore late last year, the ADOS hashtag—as well as its corresponding movement—asks the government to address the plight of African Americans who were directly connected to U.S. slavery through a list of a number of reparation demands, like reinstituting voting protections, offering a healthcare credit, forgiving student loan debt, and securing 15 percent of Small Business Administration loans for descendants of slaves. These, among others on the list, are reparation demands many Black Americans would find reasonable.
The Left continues to insist that we have few broadband internet access options because installing wires is too expensive. All that digging and nailing posts must be super-expensive, they reason. In reality, the cost of having government intervene in a market is that it distorts the market, and with all governments broke, they are not about to give up on a possible lucrative source of revenue like licensing.
Well, this should make Max Boot, Bill Kristol and all of the other armchair generals jack off with delight.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has told the Chilean broadcaster Mega TV that every single tool for what he described as US efforts “to restore democracy” in Venezuela remains on the table. He confirmed that military intervention is still an option amid the ongoing political crisis in which Washington has backed self-proclaimed president Juan Guaido and denounced Nicolas Maduro. According to him “every single tool, every single option remains on the table” even though the Lima Group of Latin American countries has rejected such a scenario and the US lacks support for such a measure from the United Nations Security Council.
Bill and Hillary Clinton tried to bully a prestigious scholarship program into selecting Chelsea Clinton’s then-boyfriend and then sought "payback" when they were resisted, according to a former top foreign policy adviser to Barack Obama. The episode took place nearly 19 years ago but has fresh resonance after revelations last month of multimillion-dollar bribes paid by parents to get their children into elite colleges, including Stanford University, which Chelsea Clinton and her then-boyfriend Jeremy Kane attended. Among those recently implicated was Michelle Obama's former tennis coach.
Speaking of the
Thursday night marked the kickoff, in New York City, of their national speaking tour. Billed as “a one-of-a-kind conversation with two individuals who have helped shape our world … [and who offer] remarkable insight into where we go from here,” the event simply underscored why Hillary lost: Over-promise, under-deliver, avoid accountability, and expect the masses to nonetheless be satisfied. My ticket, a third-row seat in the balcony, cost $210. This bought me 90 minutes of longtime Clinton lackey Paul Begala launching such softballs as: Is the two-state solution dead?
What is happening to American politics?
How did it feel to watch the bin Laden raid?
Why are the Dems losing rural voters?
How did you raise such an amazing daughter?

New Zealand Police Expecting Massive Non-Compliance
Under New Zealand’s new mandatorybuybackconfiscation law, owners of semi-automatic firearms have until September 30 to turn them in. But based on this Reuters report, authorities are expecting only a fraction of those who own the newly outlawed guns to comply.
So what is new in the world of taxation? A proposal to tax your porn. H/T redc1c4
The pornography (porn) industry is worth almost $100 billion. Laws that banned porn were struck down more than 50 years ago, so in all 50 states, you can download adult content all you want. Or consume porn the old-fashioned way by reading dirty magazines. Companies that distribute pornography, of course, already pay taxes on their profits. But legislators in at least 18 states are anxious to ensure they’re getting their “fair share” of the financial bonanza.
It isn't the jump but the abrupt landing that always gets you. Genius Award Winner.
“Once the flight arrived at the gate, the passenger opened one of the doors and jumped off the aircraft,” according to the airline. “Law enforcement and paramedics responded.” According to Phoenix police, during the flight a 25-year-old passenger began touching passengers’ faces and spraying them with some kind of liquid from a spray bottle. A witness who spoke with the Arizona Republic said the man was also swearing and hitting multiple passengers.

Trump is the only Republican who would have anywhere near the balls to do this. No other would even come close to having the testicular fortitude to dump the illegals like this.
And as Cher shows, it's a nice wedge, splitting up the far left loons and turning them against each other. You'll have the true believers who want MOAR illegals, vs those who just talk the talk but know they can't handle the influx.
Trump, he knows how to fight.

It's very frustrating to me that I find it next to impossible to communicate with some of my family members. They will only communicate when it's convenient for *them,* and screw everyone else.
Pretty succinct this time, but glad for it. :-)
As I've said, I have family in Arkansas. (I'm in SoCal.) I keep trying to find out when would be a good frame of time in 2019 to come out to visit. I cannot get a response, and I've been trying now for at least three months to discuss it in detail.
I guess at this stage I should just assume it's not really that worthwhile to the other person for me to come out, and if I do it at all, decide to put it off until it's much more convenient for me, which in my case won't be until 2020 or 2021.
Oh well.

Don't feel alone in this, or that it's something rare. I think one of the most uncomfortable discoveries of Adulthood is that, outside of a few close friends, people don't communicate with you unless they want something from you. It's just how it works. Now some people are lucky and have big involved closeknit families - but those are really getting to be a rarity these days.
So, I'd say the feedback you're getting (or lack of it) is par for the course. Up to you to decide whether it's worth it to you to be the driver who puts all the energy into this - maybe it is, but if so, then you call all the shots.

Same in my industry, but it's not that hard to find eligible applicants.
Drug tests are pretty broad, though. Marijuana can be detected within a month or so, i think, well enough to pop on the test. If someone wants to get blazed at home on a Friday night, I really don't care as long as they're good to go on Monday. But if they were to be tested (we only have pre-employment screenings, not randoms), there's no way for the test to determine whether they did it three weeks ago while they were off on vacation or the day before in the car on the way in.

One of the JEF's many bone-headed ideas was to not allow job applicants to be asked if they have ever been convicted of a crime, so that's not on employment applications.
Once a decision is made to hire the applicant, they have to pass a background check as well as the drug test. So it costs us money because we pay for both.

I am guessing that would require some sort of signal bridge around each substation and pole transformer, since transformers are not designed to couple "signals" vastly out of their normal frequency range. In fact, I think it used to be that power lines were deliberate designed to damp propagation of RF signals within them.

Broadband over Power Lines (BPL)
There have been many attempts worldwide to implement access BPL, all which have indicated that BPL is not viable as a means of delivering broadband Internet access. This is because of two problems: limited reach, and low bandwidth which do not come close to matching ADSL, Wi-Fi, and even 3G mobile. World major providers have either limited their BPL deployments to low-bandwidth connected equipment via smart grids, or ceased BPL operations altogether.

I have "power line" Ethernet up and running (quite well I might add), but it is all within the set of power line circuits in my own house and does not let me interconnect with my neighbor, because there's a big honking transformer between me and the power distribution lines!

I made several reluctant visits back east, generally because one relative or another was at death's door. After my mother passed in late 2001, I never went back. I always had it in mind, though, that I wanted one last chance to spend a day at the shore and stuff myself stupid on fresh seafood. And, of course, visit with what's left of my family. But I was busy and just couldn't make the time. A one person retail establishment doesn't run itself, you know.
Now it's too late. An auto immune disease silently crept up behind me and laid me flat. I can no more to East than I can fly to the moon.
Note that I wrote "An auto immune disease silently crept up behind me and laid me flat". "Silently crept up" are the key words in that sentence. What I'm trying to say is take the opportunity now. A couple of years from now, you might not be in a position to travel for reasons you have no suspicion of today.
But that's just my experience. I don't know your circumstances. Doubtlessly, they are totally different than mine. But I can tell you I am extremely unhappy that I will never see my family members in person again, never play happily in Atlantic waves, and never go on a week long binge of fresh caught seafood.

Some recent studies have found that Ban the Box reforms, which generally require employers to delay inquiring about criminal backgrounds, may disadvantage job applicants of color who do not have criminal histories. This is because in the absence of information about an applicant, employers may engage in statistical discrimination, assuming that black applicants-particularly young black men-have criminal histories because African Americans are overrepresented in the justice system. Most researchers advise caution in interpreting these study results.

Power lines will radiate RF like crazy. Traditional RF over power lines will be very limited in bandwidth.
However, believe or not, there is a way to use *microwave* frequencies on power lines. It uses a fancy single conductor propagation mode, TM. It's called E-Line.
It's basically a surface wave. Now, if it's practical, I don't know, but theoretically it can achieve Gbit speeds.

This E-Line stuff is interesting. Rather than thinking of it as traditional circuit, you're using a single conductor as a wave guide, which propagates a type of TM mode wave down the line.
Via some design tricks that keep the signal velocity less than that of light (in air) around the wire, the external field becomes completely evanescent (pure reactive in circuit theory terms), meaning no radiation at all.

When she was an undergrad she blithely stated that she wanted to be a Pediatric Cardiologist (with all the earnestness and sincerity of a sixth grader declaring that they want to be a Marine Biologist or a six-year-old dreaming of being a ballerina).
But lo and behold the actual work involved at having good enough grades as an undergrad to get into medical school, completing four years of medical school, three years of Pediatric residency training and three or more years of Pediatric Cardiology fellowship training was more than she could be bothered to achieve. Never mind then having the dedication and drive to commit long hours of stressful dealing with families whose children have, you know, life-threatening cardiac conditions and gaining the experience and actual real life capability to diagnose and treat such condition.
So nah, she retreated into her entitled cocoon of the Clinton Global Family Grift organization.
And neither she nor her despicable parents would give me the time of day if I ran into them on a sidewalk. She's a lackwit and a fraud.

Well with the district wireless I have, it's a fairly tight beam. so unless you get your sniffer antenna into the beam, you aren't going to sniff it. Which basically means getting on my property, or flying a drone into the beam, maybe. And I expect the link between my modem and the tower is encrypted, just like wifi is.

The suburb was divided into 4 zones, I was in zone 4, naturally. Zone 1 was completed in about twice the contract time and over budget and it never delivered the performance promised. Zone 2 was completed late and over budget as well and while they were working on zone 3, the suburb tried to re-negotiate the contract. In zone 4, they were starting to put up the poles and the solar panels when the suburb pulled the plug on the whole mess. They wasted a few million dollars, annoyed all of their customers and delivered nothing, pretty much a preview of the Obama-care roll-out. I suspect someone got some new solar panels for pennies on the dollar and the internet company probably got a majority of the contracted payments.

For a variety of reasons these are relatively tight beams, and, if they are like mine, they use directional antennas from my location to the tower, I watched them commission the link and there was a bit of "beam tuning" involved. So low power outside the line of sight beam plus an encrypted point to point link would seem to offer very good security against an adversarial interceptor!

Medicaid routinely sends us billing statements that are dated on the 1st, postmarked on the 8th, arrive on the 12th or 13th and are due the 15th. I pay them when I get them, and if they have a problem with that, they can fix their own damn mailing system.

I love "Die Niebelungen", Fritz Lang, primarily as a reference to how much Kurosawa borrowed for "Ran".
"Metropolis" set the tone for every dystopian movie ever.
"Tabu" has topless Polynesian girls.

HUGE fan of silents, here!
Comedy: "Safety Last." Harold Lloyd hangin' on the clock. Fast-paced and witty all the way through. Laugh out loud every damned time. Clever plot.
Comedy runner-up: "Spite Marriage." Buster Keaton gets a famous actress to marry him. When she realizes what she did, she gets totally drunk. Then he takes her back to the hotel and spends about 10 minutes trying to get her undressed and in the bed. Funny as all heck!
Drama: "King of Kings." The introduction to Jesus is brilliant! The first time we see him is by looking through the eyes of a blind man who is seeing for the first time! I'm weeping just writing this! His crucifixion with the storm all around is stunning!
Twisted: "Unknown." Lon Chaney as an armless guy who has a knife-throwing act in a carnival. His assistant is a young Joan Crawford. He has a secret that will blow your mind. Then it gets really disturbing! Directed by Tod Browning (famous for "Freaks").
Of course: "Metropolis." One of the greatest films ever made. The short version with the '80s soundtrack is very much worth a viewing, too. (But I'm a Jon Anderson nut.)
Of course runner up: "Nosferatu." Wicked eerie!
I'll see what else pops into my head.

Griffith supposedly made it in response to the fierce (even for 1915!) criticism he got, deservedly so, that The Birth Of A Nation was racist as all get-out. Both films were epics, BTW.

Also, it's not my fault that they refuse to look in their own reimbursement system and see that yes, we HAVE seen a physician for a checkup in the last year and therefore don't have to pay the fee.

Ever seen "Bert Rigby, You're A Fool"?
Nice Carl Reiner film. Robert Lindsay plays an English coal miner who is addicted to old movies and does impressions of Chaplin, Keaton, etc. He performs the entire movie "Singin' In The Rain" in about a minute.
Fun.

Back in the '80s, I saw Abel Gance's' 1927 silent flick, 'Napoleon', at Radio City with full orchestra accompaniment (theaters showing silent movies used to have live music playing). Good movie, filmed in triptych, which is a movie in three panels on one screen. Maybe the orchestra made it a better movie, just like a good soundtrack can make a modern movie better.
'Napoleon' was a lost classic found. It is available on dvd and blue-ray.

i think that's part of it. the absurd is out of sync with really, so keaton strikes me as stringing together bits in fromt of the camera. chaplin has much more fluidity and movement within the frame and with the camera and he incorporates the bits into the story better.

Hitler used to love watching Charlie Chaplain flicks -- until Chaplain released 'The Great Dictator' in 1940. Funny that. Mockery of tyrants is not allowed, as we see in the organized pushback against the critics of Ilhan Omar.

I have no idea how far along he is in the recruiting process (see previous comment about no one actually telling me anything). His mother was convinced that her (step)son didn't have good enough grades to be an officer, so he wound up being a USAF refueler. Son #2 is having a blast as a refueler, but Son #3 might have bad advice from his mother regarding the Marines (the only branch, IMO, that will take him at this point). Quite frankly, I think the USMC is the only career path he has at this point (he stopped taking his ADHD meds), so I'm trying to figure out how to help him.
I've always said that Pooky will give me wrinkles because of the frown lines, but those boys will give me gray hair from worrying.

Yeah, I recall that Keaton TZ episode. Good stuff.
Ever seen "In the Good Old Summertime" (Judy Garland and Van Johnson)?
It's the "Shop Around the Corner" redone. Keaton (who was pretty old) was just supposed to help out choreographing the clumsy slapstick stuff, but when he tried to show an actor how to slip and fall onto a violin, the guy couldn't do it. So they put Keaton in the role.
Damn. When he falls the violin, I laugh my ass off!

As I understand it nullification is a dangerous thing on Federal level but at least a state has the fig leaf of sovereignty.
But is there even a framework where part of a state, in this case the city of New York, can nullify a general state law?

the three wealthiest families in our country now own more wealth than the bottom half of Americans 160 million people
So they have a combined net work of less say $200 Billion
$200,000,000,000/160,000,000=$1250
So kill the billionaires, take their money, and TADA the poor get about 2 weeks extra pay.
All poverty now fixed.

What do I know about branding, maybe nothing (but I did become President!), but if I were Boeing, I would FIX the Boeing 737 MAX, add some additional great features, REBRAND the plane with a new name. No product has suffered like this one. But again, what the hell do I know?

The man once got kicked out of a hippie commune for being too lazy, and has been in Congress for 27 years, with only two bills he passed ever becoming law. Both of which were "gimme" bills related to naming post offices in Vermont (the kind of bill that every congresscritter votes for, so he in return gets to name post offices in his own state).
A real go-getter, that Bernie.

Catching up on the news I see that Trump has not only red-pilled Cher on illegal immigration, but in response to demands that he delete his 9/11-Ilhan Omar tweet he's freakin' *pinned* it.

Strip mall theft is up next.Buddy drives the truck down the row of shops and the designated miscreant for the day steals <$749 per store!
And yo can bet the entire power of "law enforcement" would come down on the shop-owner that shot such a shopper.

Nancy Pelosi was outrageously outraged that Trump's tweet may have reminded people that muzzies were responsible for the carnage of 9/11.
Just wait until they find out that muzzies were also responsible for the Boston Marathon bombings, the Ft. Hood massacre, the San Bernardino shootings, the Orlando Pulse Nightclub massacre, etc., Nancy!
Americans may start to wonder if importing millions of hostile muzzies into the U.S. after 9/11, and electing some of them to congress, was such a smart idea.

If only someone had tested out how enforcement of petty crimes affects crime rate, maybe even giving it a catchy title like "Broken Window Policy," in one of America's largest (then crime-ridden) cities. . . .
Guess these Socialist DA have a 'death wish'.

How is that possible? Cory and his lefty buddies have been telling the rest of us for years that illegal aliens are more law abiding and commit fewer crimes than American citizens. They've also lectured us that illegals are just "incredibly hard working" people looking to build a better life for themselves and their children.
So how could having more of these admirable folks moved into one's community make anybody "unsafe"?

I got married 2 years ago and it just seemed that there was no excitement in my sex life. My dysfunction to perform to the best of my abilities in bed made it harder for my wife and me to have a good time during sex. And i was having the feelings that she may decide to get a divorce one day. I knew something had to be done in order to improve my sex life and to save my marriage because my marriage was already falling apart, so when i was on my Facebook page i came across a story of how Dr Aziba helped him enlarged his penis to 8ins better.so i Immediately copied the Email address of the Dr and explained to him my problem,he gave me some simply instruction which i must follow and i did easily and my friends Today, i am the happiest man on Earth, All Thanks to Dr Aziba for saving my marriage and making me a real man today.i asked him about some popular diseases like HERPES,HIV AIDS,HEPATITIS, DIABETICS, CANCERS, WART, Get Ex back ,etc....... which are affecting most people he said there is no disease without a cure , he has it all...You can as well reach the Dr below for help on your problem, for he has the solution to all...
