I'm looking for a last post or two but the old post is ancient at this point so here's an open thread.


Here's something: Wow.

These people break the law crossing the border, still get a day in court, get deportation orders and then thumb their noses at our laws. Idiots like AOC bleat that these people are fleeing because law and order is breaking down in their own country. Is it any wonder?

68 OT:

I'm in the market for a VR headset, but can't decide if this is the right time to buy, since lots of new models are coming out.

I tested the Oculus Quest, and it was good, but it has a low fps. On the plus side, it's a standalone set, so no cable to an external gaming computer.

The Valve Index looks promising, but does require the external computer and cable. It has a very high fps, resolution as good as or better than the Quest, and large fov.
I'm less interested in fps games, and more in realistic fantasy worlds, a la the old Myst game.

I'm no expert, but I'd say it is not the right time to buy. Everyone is trying to make it happen, the balance of affordability and resolution and tetheredness. It will be a while. If you don't badly want something you will throw away in 2-3 years for something cheaper and better, but will get you that VR thing in the meantime, I'd hold off.

Wow. Remember how common it was in the old days (say, 10 years ago) to warn about letting your kids get spoiled?

The real problem with something once it's spoiled is that as it sits around, it proceeds to become thoroughly rotten, all the way through.

Those parents have spoiled those kids for life, and they will be rotten to be around for anyone they ever meet.

PS4 yes, but Sony says they won't release the new PS and the new VR set at the same time. My guess is technical problems with the latter. They're trying to implement eye tracking and foveated rendering to minimize computation.

What I'm really excited about is something called galvanic vestibular stimulation. Basically, it's 4 electrodes you place around your head. When a small current is passed through them, it fools your inner ear, and you have the sensation of falling or moving side to side.

So far I've seen Danny Glover and Markie Post in guest roles. Markie Post was not as cute when she was younger.

It's a good show. Special effects are terrible and they overuse the same shots even more than I remembered (and I did notice it as a kid; only bigger overuse of stock shots was the miss-miss-hit sequence of a Viper shooting at a Cylon Raider in battlestar galactica).

Strangely, most plots are about... espionage invovling the Russians.

150 Aw, hell, they really want him dead - from Breitbart:

Tommy Robinson has reportedly been transferred to Belmarsh prison, a maximum security facility in south London once described in Britain's mainstream media as "a jihadi training camp".

Tommy Robinson was re-sentenced to nine months in prison this week for non-violent contempt of court offences --- after an earlier ten-month sentence passed within hours of his initial arrest was quashed --- of which he should have to serve around two-and-a-half months before becoming eligible for automatic release on licence.

In 2016, a former Muslim inmate of Belmarsh told the London Evening Standard that "There were so many would-be jihadists in there I felt like an intruder at a jihadi training camp."

203 My office millennial Little Miss Ladybitch has not (that I know of) had her parents call her boss. I suppose it could have happened.

But every other thing in that thread. Every. Other. Thing.

Any disagreement with her about anything will earn you a snotty lecture, often in loud, strident tones about "her truth" she learned through "her lived experience."

And G-d forbid one of her woke political topics comes up... Jay-zus.

For instance: we had a company wide all hands meeting to learn about the new insurance plan. Everyone from corporate was present, with sixty offices around the country dialing in.

Miss Ladybitch: "Does it cover abortion or birth control?"

Insurance agent: "No."

Miss Ladybitch: "Feh. That doesn't seem fair."

Insurance Agent: "Virtually no plans cover those things."

Miss Ladybitch: "See... that's the problem..."

...followed by a rambling tirade about reproductive rights and patriarchy that only ended when our horrified HR director (a sweet old lady) broke in and made her stop.

His latest today is about how he was at some meeting and the US Women's Soccer Team was cited regarding inspirational team work and meeting high expectations. The e-mail has a large picture of the team in triumph, confetti falling all around, the Purple Haired Anti-American Deviated Prevert front and center of course, a team mate two ranks back holding the flag recovered after the weirdo and her crony ditched it onto the ground.

It's a moderately long riff and he 's got something in there about coaching staff out of disruptive behaviors. (Me? Talking about me?)

I used to work with a millennial who had a "magic bullet" she would
wear in her panties occasionally when we were stuck in the phone room
triaging. She had a little remote controller and would Intermittantly
turn it on and be getting off while talking to old guys about their
chest pain.

275 Re ICE raids for those with final deportation orders - don't worry, the ACLU has a few pre-emptive lawsuits launched already. Even a few years ago, that would be ridiculous, and considered an embarrassing stunt with zero chance of affecting things. Today? Decent chance a court will issue an absurd injunction outside its authority, and that the govt. will comply.


Alleged leaker reportedly under investigation for leaks. Given the nature of the leak and his position, this should have been resolved, in person, with the prez, immediately [might have meant immediately upon Trump's return from Asia].


FFS, enough "investigations". The top manager - Trump - should be able to call for an instant meeting to take his own measure of the situation, on a matter so specific and limited.

369 "Define sexually deviant behavior"



....



I think it might be easier to define normal, healthy sexual
relations, and then anything that deviated from that would be deviant
behavior.



So I suppose, vaginal intercourse inside a married, monogamous
relationship for purposes of marital relations and reproduction would be
normal.



Bonus points for missionary position.

They didn't know who Custer was or what he did. They couldn't tell us why the heads on Mt. Rushmore were there. They had no clue about the Alamo or WW 2. But they knew the white man was mean to the Indian. One of our grand daughters thought she could breeze into Veterinary school simply because she loves animals. She was shocked when we told her what she would have to do just to get into college. These are our 2 daughters children and their parents aren't stupid.

N to talking about glycosidic linkages in DNA on p. N + 2. But they don't teach pH in that course because "it's too difficult."

I'm not making this up. Students basically had to simply memorize information, as they weren't taught the underlying foundation at all. I think that course would have put me off of chemistry, and I'd been fascinated by it since I was nine.

Back again late Tuesday, diagnosed with acute diverticulitis, sent home with pain meds and antibiotics. Barely able to move from the pain.

Today he was able to drive. Still hurting some, but able to walk to the car and back into the house, even helping carry a few groceries, and feeling much better (at least mentally) being able to do that.

So prayers of thanks for his improvement would be welcome, as well as that the improvement will continue.

481 Math was the only part of school I liked.

Math has answers that are either correct or incorrect.

Every other subject was graded based on the teacher's predilections.

Actually, I guess I liked history as well, at least when it came to facts and dates. The deeper meaning of history was again subject to the whimsies of instructors.

That aspect of history is probably more prevalent now than ever with post-modernism on the rise and the anachronistic nature of revisionist history.

Philosophy was the most interesting and enlightening field I ever studied in college though.

I have a teammate (late 50s, I would guess) who went in for a physical to be re-certified for scuba diving.
He ended up getting a quadruple bypass, during which time they found he'd previously had had a heart attack. And this guy used to catch nine inning games in 95 degree heat.

We were astonished.

After going through Hesiod's Theogony and The Iliad (primary sources), she made us read Giraudoux's Tiger at the Gates (dumbass two-act play written over 3000 years later as a criticism of WWI) as the big finale for the course.

Funny thing is, she was a walking talking college professor cliche. Fat bulldyke with a crew cut wearing Birkenstocks and thick wool socks, either in the early summer heat or during pouring rainstorms. Plus of course, she hated students. I mean, HATED students. All of them.

That's so sad. Too many lecturers are there because 1) they have to be, and/or 2) they want to show how much more they know than the students, little realizing that knowing more than 18 year olds is a pretty pathetic standard.

I've had colleagues like that, who deprecated what the students knew. I pointed out that they had studied the subject exclusively for decades, whereas the students had been studying it for maybe hours.

I further pointed out that the lecturer was the least important person in the lecture theater, as the lecture was not about him.

My colleagues looked at me as though I were crazy.

Yes, nice break for the stressful day.

On corrections, I was utterly embarrassed when I started this job in Dec. 2017. Atty's still write out stuff on yellow tablets and some of the handwriting was, well, difficult to read. And it was all new law I was not familiar with or didn't know the terms.

So much better now. It's always nice to be able to improve yourself.

628 Hadrian, when I say my evening prayers, it's too dark for me to read a list, so I have to do the "intentions" thing. But God knows, and I'm pretty sure He forgives my human limitations.

Plus I send up prayers when I read the requests, so everyone I see needing them gets at least one "direct" request. Even if I don't remember to mention it in the thread.

You would have loved the time I heard an odd noise in our Air Conditioning closet (nothing but mechanical stuff in there, and I didn't realize at the time a small hole in the floor leading to the crawlspace under the house, which is only 18" deep so you can't get into it) ANYWAY I opened the louvered door to look in, and there, on top of one piece of equipment, there was a possum about 24" away from my face.

I froze for a second - so did he - and the urge to scream, or yell horribly, or run all ran through my mind, but I also thought "my wife is in the next room and she's not gonna rest until I do Something about it, and I have got no freakin' clue right now." So I surprised even myself when I did like Bugs Bunny would do when he'd find the Monster hiding behind the door, and I just calmly and quickly closed the door and old myself "Well its a good thing nothing was there." And I didn't look again til the next day.

Women wearing buttplugs is not unusual -- even during the day and at

Pay close attention at a nightclub and you may be surprised


There needs to be some way to connect those wifi vibrators to the output of a guitar so when a certain note(s) is hit, they'll go off. Imagine a club full of women with them and a good blues band...

It would need to be a venue that allows smoking, though.

658 Possums are really laid back - they wander around our porch at night sometimes, they always got along with the cats just fine. The Raccoons can be downright aggressive at times. One was at our outside cat bowl a couple months ago and I came out the door and started to walk towards him, and he just stood up on his hind legs and looked at me like "you wanna piece of me? Huh?

728 The reason armadillos get killed on the road so much is they have got this habit of jumping about 2 feet straight up into the air whenever they're startled. It'll scare the shit out of you if you come up on one in the woods or somewhere, which is easy to do since their eyesight is terrible.

When a big truck straddles or a car straddles them, they could just hunker down and be fine, but they'll do that BOING BOING thing right into the bottom of it.

738 As someone that grew up in the Magnolia State, back when the rural parts were really, genuinely rural and mostly made up of small family farms near what the Census Bureau called "hamlets," because they didn't qualify as villages or even townships -

possums were despised for the way they preyed on poultry, not to mention ducks and geese, and also because of the way they "sulled up," i.e. feigned death when pursued. Yet at the same time, a lot of folks (not, I'm happy to say, yours truly) loved them......

As food items. I lost track of how many folks rhapsodized about how delicious fried or stewed possums with baked potatoes were. Never once put it to the test, and no regrets on that front.

Just a little perspective from the old, Deep South.

Yeah, back around 1900-1920 strikeouts and home runs were pretty rare. They put the ball in play a lot. I get the impression that it was more chess-like where they played for one base at a time.

In the trap, I think of using a bigger bullet ... but don't like a handgun to get any splatter ... have to shoot between the cage holes. Not sure where the best kill spot is ... maybe instead of forehead between the eyes, in the ear is better?


but the critters have some email system ... peaches get ripe ... like 20 varmints so far in a week ... they just keep coming. must be some sort of animal instagram.

800 Funny thing is, the highest scoring baseball season - by far - is in the 1890s. I believe 1894 but it might be 1896. It was a bit after the mound got moved to 60 ft 6 inches and obviously scoring exploded.

I'm finally reading that story where Psychotic Kitty Party admits that the Green New Deal is actually a destroy capitalism cake with climate change frosting. The guy who sat there dumbstruck was none other than Jay Inslee's "climate director." Yes, the climate czar of Jay Inslee (the most climate-obsessed Dem candidate) thought Chakrabarti was a little nuts.

Your husband was probably hissing and spitting because he came home & found a possum in the kitchen!

I trapped one in a fireplace once & called animal control.

They have poor communications. They might lurk thirty years in your back yard not knowing that the possum war is over.

810 Yeah, it was 1894. The average team scored 7.4 runs a game. Three teams scored over 9 runs a game. The mound change was a year old and hitters were feasting on it.

812 803- I tried calling animal control but it was 11pm on a saturday night. I got a recording saying they would be opening on Monday. My husband was out of state and I had my father living with us with end stage Alzheimers. I was trying to keep the house quiet for him, so I trapped him until my husband made it home.

The possum my dog dropped off in my kitchen got a laundry basket over
him, then a card table, then a blanket over everything. When husband got
home in the morning he was still hissing and spitting.

Many years ago, I lived with a couple of guy on the outskirts of town and a possum took up residence in the garage under the freezer.

We did the ammonia trick, no result. Shooting was out of the question because collateral damage.

So it came down to the cold steel, specifically a garage-sale rapier.

That blade has taken a number of critters, most recently a groundhog.

One of my daughters killed a mouse with her fencing sabre, so it runs in the family.

814 I don't kill all the possums I find on the property anymore. In fact, a few months ago I trapped one and took it down to the end of the driveway and let it loose in it's natural habitat.... the road.

Was the mound farther away before then? I didn't know that.

So if it's high scoring they want, why didn't MLB leave well enough alone?

consenting adults doing things that they live in private is generally acceptable.

Unless your kink is humiliation, in which case you are a very dirty naughty woman indeed!
