We go to a Cajun place in the same shopping center as a Red Lobster. Her Majesty loves their chargrilled oysters.
We're regular customers, order without fuss, talk with indoor voices, treat the staff well, give good tips and leave when we're done. Consequently, we get treated like royalty.

When I lived in the Bay Area, my girlfriend had a gay male friend who lived in San Francisco and was a sugar daddy to a much younger, deaf man.
We'd been invited over to a big party in their large back yard to celebrate the deaf guy's graduation from graduate school, and I was really annoyed because -- owing to bad traffic -- we were quite late (I hate being late). As we approached the front door I said "Well, I don't hear anything ... it sounds like we might be the first ones to have arrived."
After walking through the house to the back yard, we saw probably 100 people and it was complete silence. They were ALL deaf and signing to one another. We were the only non-deaf invitees.
One of the coolest things was something I'd never seen before: a deaf-and-blind guy's hands cupped around another person signing -- so he could feel the sign language. Really cool ...

If you like seafood, it's easy to understand why you've never been to a Red Lobster.

I'm crazy I guess. I kind of like Red Lobster although I admit they're overpriced. IMHO they have the best tartar sauce anywhere. And I REALLY like the spicy shrimp appetizer at Olive Garden.
No, they're not the world's best restaurants by any stretch. But I'm sick of the snobs who love to hate them.

So how does a deaf/blind person distinguish between dreaming and consciousness?

IIRC, the older ones do... just went through this with my Dad.
no pacemaker, but the bullshit i had to go through to get the titanium parts they'd put in about 2 weeks (really) before he died was stupid....
"well, you know, the metal might not survive the process..."
it's Fing titanium you idiots: they build spaceships and shit with it and it melts at over 3000*F. if you get it that hot, your problem will be separating my Dad's cremains from the ashes of your building....
needless to say, the titanium came through just fine.
i carry them around with me sometimes, and ask people if they want to meet my dad.
if they say yes, i pull out the zip lock they are in....
the reactions are priceless.

We eat at Rotten Lobster frequently. The place is clean, busy and the food is great.
Possibly because the 2x4 town in the Adirondacks we reside in depends on tourism for their living.
The food places are uniformly good,the competition is brutal so poor ones are eliminated rapidly.

for the big corporation. The two that come to mind for me are actually
pretty interesting, at least to me.
The first
one was when Hershey Chocolate Company went after the Hershey Creamery
(the ice cream maker) over trademarks of course. It turns out that the
Hershey Ice Cream company has nothing to do with Hershey chocolate.
The companies just happen to have been created in the same town, by guys
with the same last name, around the same year. The result of many
decades of legal battles, the Hershey Creamery has to put a disclaimer
that they are not affiliated with the Hershey Company on their ice cream
packages. It is like a warning label no one notices. My guess is most
think they are produced by the same business. Both products are good
imo.
Another interesting one was when
Whataburger of Texas went after What-A-Burger of Southern Virgina. The
Virginia What-A-Burger is a very small regional chain of a few stores.
It turns out that both companies started in the 1950s and didn't even
know about each other until the 1970s. There was a a long detente but
there was a patent infringement case in in the 2000s. The end result
is no damages, and Whataburger said they are not coming to Virginia.
Sorry Texans.
* I could have some of the details wrong as these are complicated issues but the gist is correct I think.

There was a span of time many years ago when I couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality. I was working 80 hour weeks so my dreams were simply continuations of my work day. In a dream I would finish a project or report and have delivered it or have notified the customer. In the real world, I would discover that wasn't so.
But a real easy way to tell that dreams are not reality is that in my dreams I never get tired, taste, aware of temperature, or orientation, or have a sense of time.

Not trying to sound snooty, but I've spent most of my time near the wet edges of the country, so there's always been some local seafood joint -- or in some cases a whole row of them right on the water.
When I'm in New England I get lobster, or clams, or chowder, or fried cod and chips. If I'm near Chesapeake Bay I get crabcakes. If I'm on the Gulf it's shrimp, crawfish, crab, oysters, or whatever.
But if I'm not in a state with a coast, I don't get seafood. I get barbecue, or chicken-fried steak, or fresh corn on the cob, or chili, or Amish breakfast.
It's like going to McDonalds's instead of the local diner. Why?

The story of Reeses candies is pretty interesting too. H.B. Reese worked for Hershey Chocolate and then went out on his own and created the iconic peanut butter cup. Reeses was a huge success and competitor to Hershey for decades. Finally Hershey merged with Reeses and they are still part of the same company today. But it is interesting both companies, two of the most iconic candy brands in the world, came out of the same town.

I have a story like that. Broke down in the Barrio in Venice, California. A whole neighborhood of Messicans came out with tools, buckets of water (my radiator had leaked totally out), fixed my car, and wouldn't take any money. I went back the next day and gave them a big box of the best doughnuts in L.A.

And just then it hit me, like me and ol DJT behind the Y.

My grandparents managed Motel 6's as a semi-retirement gig after Grandpa left Boeing. It damn near killed them. But, kind of like Walmart, not every Motel 6 is like another. Very, very dependent on the neighborhood in which it's located.
Still, me and the missus get great rooms via Priceline and whatnot. So we have not been in a Motel 6 for some time.

and then there are things like the famous Jimmie Davis bridge, in southern Shreveport, across the Red River. Shreveport and Bossier City have finally grown enough that today, it is an important thoroughfare. You've got to understand that it is a HUGE bridge, 4 lanes, across a BIG river,a hugely expensive project when it was built in the 60's. And at the time all it connected was some cotton fields on one side of the river to some cotton fields on the other side of the river. Why did it get built?
Turns out the Governor and his business partners owned a lot of those cotton fields on both sides. What an amazing coincidence.

AOP, talked with a former Swedish fighter pilot a few years back, now an instructor for Emirates, he confirmed he'd done a lot of landings/take-offs on highways. The original Interstate system had a requirement for X mileage of straight/level every Y miles, or something, I think. For the reason you'd think.
Lots of war-fighting features built into American infrastructure in the 5Os/6Os, with federal requirements and $$.
Ask someone about those windowless, bunker-like AT and T buildings [called central offices], see if anyone has an idea why they might be built that way. I believe their over-pressure resistance is significantly higher than standard commercial buildings of the same type, too.

Russell Long, when he was chairman of Senate Finance, would begin big hearings with a story, often an "Uncle Earl" story. [Earl, his uncle, and Huey "Kingfish" Long's younger brother - Huey was Russell's dad]
One was about the time, early in one of Earl's gubernatorial terms, when he [Russell] went to him to tell him the groups of farmers and others, who had camped out in the capital to demand fulfillment of campaign promises, were not going home and were demanding answers.
"Uncle Earl, what am I gonna tell 'em?" [in Russell's high-pitched voice with the distinctive accent]
"Russell," Governor Earl replied, "tell 'em I LIED!"

couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality. I was working
80 hour weeks so my dreams were simply continuations of my work day.
In a dream I would finish a project or report and have delivered it or
have notified the customer. In the real world, I would discover that
wasn't so.
But a real easy way to tell that dreams are not reality is that in
my dreams I never get tired, taste, aware of temperature, or
orientation, or have a sense of time.

There are entire ghost cities in China, built for much the same reason (political corruption). Some party hack gets title to a bunch of land in (say) the Gobi Muhfuggin' Desert, and loots the state treasury to build "worker's housing" there. Never mind that there aren't actually any "workers", or any demand for "workers" within 500 miles. The party hack's brother's construction company still gets paid, just the same.

They were built to withstand pretty much anything since the network switches are housed there. You lose the switches, no phones, no internet, no lots of other shit.
BTW, it's very rare that your long distance call will go point to point. The network searches out the first open channel in microseconds, and your NYC to Miami call might first go to Phoenix, Kansas City, Louisville, whatever has that first open channel.
It can slow things down if even one switch goes down. Happened in Sherman Oaks with the Northridge Quake, when the building was fine but the battery reserves ran low and the switch had to be shut down. Happened in downtown Manhattan on 9-11

Hotel guests are notorious about not returning keys. The smallish one I worked in (mumble) years ago had the tools and sets of pins to rekey the locks as needed. If the owner didn't have the ability to do that himself, I can see locksmith expenses being a substantial line item back in the day.
Nowadays it's all key cards, even in fleabag hotels, so the problem doesn't exist any more.

It gave me a staph thing on a shoulder and I needed antibiotics to rid me of it.
The reason why I have in the car a Go-Bag that includes a sleep sack. Once went to Indy from Austin immediately after working a 12 hour day. Saw strange creatures jumping on the hood while speeding along the interstate outside of Little Rock - figured it was time to pull over and get some sleep.
The only available place nearby was something similar to what you described. hanged an overnight bag from the ceiling so bed bugs couldn't get in it, and slept in the sack - disposing it when checking out.
May be overkill, but the alternative would be much worse.

Kabul, in a drug dealer's house a few blocks away from the Palace. My room was on the top floor furthest away from the diesel generator but within 50 feet of a mosque just on the other side of the property's 20 foot high surrounding wall.
Got to listen to the call to morning prayers at full volume over the loudspeaker aimed in my room's general direction. Had a nice advantage point to see the smoked from the occasional bombing near embassy row.
I liked the bathroom best. It was a 14'x14' room with the commode in one corner, the sink in the opposite corner, and a shower head placed along the wall 2' directly above the 220V electrical outlet that the hot water heater was plugged in to. Nothing like standing in an inch or two of poorly drained water staring at point blank range to enough electricity to kill in an instant.
I am thankful for building codes now.

I remember being in Costa Rica, and using shower-head heater (made in Brazil) that plugged into a wall outlet. No switch; it just passed current through the water to heat it. Low flow rate: hot water. Higher flow rate, not so hot. Not really a shock hazard, since the shortest path to ground is within the unit itself. Now, I guess things could get scary if your shower was plumbed with PVC pipe, and the neutral wire went open in the outlet feeding the heater.

No clue. It was back when we used to just point the car and go, no plan. Pick a destination and go. We managed to get 2 nights at a real nice place, but we didn't have reservations and couldn't get another night, so we headed down the road, and it seemed to be the only place that popped up after driving on some dark road.

Police say more than 2,000 fetal remains were found on the property of an abortion doctor who used to run clinics in several Indiana cities.
Ulrich George Klopfer died September 3, WNDU reported. Nine days later, an attorney representing his family called the coroner's office in Will County, Illinois, reporting they found the remains among his personal property and requested they be properly removed.
The coroner's office took possession of 2,246 medically preserved fetal remains found in an area of Klopfer's property.

You have confused my complaint in comment #485, with the hot mess in comment #484, which immediately preceded it.
But then, your being confused about what I post here is par for your course.
Alas though, and much to your befuddlement, I was objecting to numerous, previous Surfperch posts, in which he/she/it/xher had been polluting the thread with much HTML effort to "fancify" his/hers/it's/xher's nic, (as well as other bits), with assorted Russian-ish forms of Eastern Urrpean "fonts" alphabets and the like.
Most said efforts of which, went straight off the rails and into the road-bed of Busted Posts which DO tend to garner the less-than-charitable attentions of Ace, Pixy or both.
Or did you forget the fallout of the ASCII Script Kiddie days?

The family that owns OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma used Swiss and other hidden accounts to transfer $1 billion to themselves, New York's attorney general contends in court papers filed Friday.
New York - asking a judge to enforce subpoenas of companies, banks and advisers to Purdue and its owners, the Sackler family - said it has uncovered the previously unknown wire transfers among family members, entities they control and several financial institutions.
The transfers bolster allegations by New York and other states that the Sacklers worked to shield their wealth in recent years because of mounting worries about legal threats.

re Red Blobster, when my wife and I first to moved from the Gulf Coast to the icy confines of Illannoying, after we had scored a few paychecks we set out to get us some freakin' SEAFOOD.
Yeah. We went there. Once. You'd think that a seafood chain would know not to overcook shrimp, but they managed to rubberize the poor things. Overcooked, overpriced, over it.
We thereafter, as part of our yearly pilgrimage to visit the folks, brought along a couple of large ice chests to fill with Gulf shrimp. Problem solved.

A guy wakes up one morning with a bright orange dick. He's terrified! Goes to his doctor immediately.
Doctor says, "This is unbelievable! I never saw anything like this before!"
Doctor orders up every test imaginable: lumpectomy; colonoscopy; biopsy; CAT scan; ... But tests show nothing!
Doctor: "I can't figure this oyt! Medical science is baffled! Let's take a more complete patient history. Tell me EVERYTHING you do when you get home from work. Don't leave out anything!"
Patient: "I pretty much do the same thing every night, doc. I lie down on the couch, open up a big ole bag of Cheetos, & turn on the Playboy Channel."

Coil tension springs, as on a flip-up door, or coil torsion springs, as on a sectional roll-up door? The latter, I have been able to tighten a half-turn or so, as needed. But you have to be damned careful when messing with them.
I found an old steel flip-up door at the dump once, well, two actually. No springs, but the tracks were there for one of them. I mounted the one with tracks in my barn, and hung old cylinder heads on cables to act as counterweights in lieu of springs. Has worked fine for years. The other door, I gave to friend, who placed it on hinges, and uses it on his big Quonset shop, and it, too has served well for years.

Smartest $400 you ever spent.
Those "worn out" springs can still tear your arm off if they escape their mechanical containment.
And you're entirely correct on the mag-springs thing. IF that was ever a factor, it was around the late 1800s or early 1900s, in the early days of scientific metallurgy.
Were you to find a 1911 mag loaded with .45 ACP back in 1945, I'd expect it to load and feed perfectly, even today.
The only thing that wears a modern spring out is the NUMBER of cycles, not a one-time compression thereof.

THIS is when you ought to feel more free to play HTML games one ONT.
Virtually deserted, and not a soul to care 'bout what mayhem you wreak upon the thread.
This is then, your playground.
And not the happy grounds of the earlier hours.

They act coyly. They seem meek and mild. They draw their Victims in with a Siren Call of Ladylike Pantomimes; knowing your Fate before you realize the Trap that has been sprung. -They'll even get you a Beer.
The key to understanding The Spell you are under consists of Six Magic Words:
"Can you make me a sandwich?", which offers a +1 to Saving Throw vs. Stupid. If you are a Warrior, you get a +3 versus Trap.
Be very wary of Sector Nine, Friend. It is Modern Day Sodom.

650ish rounds of 9. 250 of it cheap Tul steelcase. What was I thinking?
670 rounds of 5.56.
About 50 assorted 12 ga. A mess of 2.5 in number 2 shells. Some 3 inch 00. Some sabot slugs.
And 1400 rounds of 22LR.
The news would say this is some sort of arsenal. I figure I am on the low end of hordian ammo hoarding.
But fear not I have packed it all in a canoe and I am going on the
lake tomorrow. I don't have any waterproof bags but I figure if I a,
just really careful nothing will happen.

Under the USN Fleet organization you have Task Forces. So Taffy.
Fleet. a bunch of ships
Force a discrete collection of ships with specific tasks and composition
Unit a subset of a Force, like the DE screen, CVEs, etc.
Squadron and Groups is in the mix also, usually for a single purpose, like ServRon, PhibRon, CarGru.

***PSA***
The 2019 Michigan MoMe is next weekend!!!
Join us September 20 & 21 in the greater metropolitan area of Chelsea, Michigan for the festivities.
Friday night, we dine in Hell. Literally. We'll be at the Hell Saloon in Hell, Michigan for dinner around 6:30-ish. After dinner, we'll return to the cabin campsite built on the cursed ancient Indian burial ground just down the road from the state prison for the criminally insane for ukulele practice.
During the day on Saturday, we'll be hanging out at the cabin, whittling entire trees into toothpicks & just generally relaxing. The roundtable discussion topic this year is "IKEA Shelving: Threat or Menace?", followed by small unit tactics practice.
Saturday evening we'll go in to town for diner at the BBQ joint around 4:30; after which we'll return to the campsite for a large thermal event & pants-less dancing to the finest ukulele band in all the land.
If you have a sense of adventure & questionable judgement, there are a limited number of berths still available in the bunk-house style cabin. Let us know if you plan on over-nighting on site.
Click the link in the sidebar for more details. If you signed up prior to 06SEP19 but did not receive a confirmation e-mail, please sign up again.

Even better. I get to mansplain it to the wife. She was watching the program along with me.
She joked that it was because they were in a sticky situation.

It was on the American History Channel.
A show about the battle with interviews with some of the crew. I had not seen it before.
It was pretty good

a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell
someone!
