“Many of these crimes are still being prosecuted, we have a long way to go to decriminalize poverty and homelessness,” Chesa Boudin
Quote II
“Yes. It comes a point when you gotta take a stand. “We don’t have two parties anymore. We have good vs. evil. When you got one party that says it’s OK to kill babies and by the way, this is the first time I’ve ever seen a liberal get mad about chopping up a baby.”Hoyt Hutchinson
Quote III
“The union framework is inherently adversarial. That dynamic doesn’t reflect who we are as a company, how we interact, how we make decisions, or where we need to go.”Kickstarter CEO Aziz Hasan
Quote IV
“I unironically embrace the bashing of rural Americans. They, as a group, are bad people who have made bad life decisions. Some, I assume are good people. But this nostalgia for some imagined pastoral way of life is stupid and we should shame people who aren’t pro-city,”Jackson Kernion,
Quote V
The apocalyptic world vision you hold has been a strip landing for those who have hated progress throughout history. Your apocalyptic predictions have been made for millennia, and, we’re still here. We will still be here long after you’ve grown up and we have forgiven you for skipping classes, thereby lowering the intelligence quotient of an entire generation. Prof. Jason D. Hill

Don't mess with a man's ride.
But, will they tow a boat? The world's most expensive rides.
Today's supercars boast blistering top speeds, face-melting acceleration and six-figure price tags. But when considering the most opulent and best-performing vehicles ever made, you're talking about exclusive on-off models and absurdly powerful hypercars with multimillion-dollar asks. With a combined total value of more than $70 million, these 10 ultra-extravagant models are the most expensive new road-going machines in the world:
When you hear how many people are living on land that might be underwater by 2100, you might wonder how we know exactly how high the sea level will be so far into the future. That kind of modeling is incredibly complex, and involves countless calculations and assumptions that influence the outcome. But you probably don’t wonder how we know the elevation of the land. In many parts of the world a quick glance at Google Maps can tell you how many feet above sea level you are at any given time. But like anything we measure, our estimations of elevation are inherently error-prone. When you’re measuring how high a mountain is, being off by two meters (that’s 6.56 feet) it’s not a huge deal. But rising seas can make the same margin of error deadly for coastal areas. And that’s exactly what’s happening. When researchers at Climate Central used a new method called CoastalDEM to estimate the elevations of the world’s coastal areas, the number of people vulnerable to sea level rise nearly tripled previous calculations. The new projection suggests up to 630 million people live in places that could be underwater by 2100, with more than half of those slipping under the rising seas by 2050. They published their findings in Nature Communications.If I'm still around on this day in 2050 I'm going to laugh in their faces.
Upon seeing this story, you might be tempted to think it was about San Francisco, but it actually takes place in Denver, Colorado. Jawaid Bazyar is the owner of a communications company named FORETHOUGHT.net. His building is adjacent to an alley where groups of homeless people, prostitutes and drug addicts hang out. Recently, the problem has spiraled out of control and people have been urinating and defecating in the alley, along with leaving discarded hypodermic needles on the ground.
Despite having complained to the police repeatedly, nothing seemed to change and Bazyar grew distraught at the prospect of his employees having to clean up the potentially hazardous waste. The city of Denver responded by issuing him a citation and fining him for not keeping the property clean. (CBS Denver)
What will be the straw that broke the
The ONT is always looking out for you. TM. As global warming pounces upon the USA, no need to start your car to warm it up.
An intense cold snap is threatening to smash record lows across much of the nation through Thursday. With temperatures sliding and winter fast approaching, many car owners are asking: How often should I start my car to warm it up? Turns out, the answer doesn't lie in frequency. Experts at AAA, a federation of motor clubs, say it's not a good idea to warm your car up to keep it from freezing. "Ninety-five percent of the cars on the road today don't use carburetors, so you no longer need to warm them up on cold days," said Mike Calkins, manager of technical services at AAA.
On Tuesday, English singer and songwriter Ellie Goulding warned that she will cancel her scheduled performance on Thanksgiving at halftime of the Dallas Cowboys football game unless the Salvation Army makes a “solid, committed pledge or donation to the LGBTQ community.”
I suppose the love connection of Joe & Troy feel compelled to support Ellie.
Federal Court Rules Suspicionless Searches of Travelers' Phones and Laptops Unconstitutional
In a major victory for privacy rights at the border, a federal court in Boston ruled today that suspicionless searches of travelers’ electronic devices by federal agents at airports and other U.S. ports of entry are unconstitutional. The ruling came in a lawsuit, Alasaad v. McAleenan, filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), and ACLU of Massachusetts, on behalf of 11 travelers whose smartphones and laptops were searched without individualized suspicion at U.S. ports of entry.
“This ruling significantly advances Fourth Amendment protections for millions of international travelers who enter the United States every year,” said Esha Bhandari, staff attorney with the ACLU’s Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project. “By putting an end to the government’s ability to conduct suspicionless fishing expeditions, the court reaffirms that the border is not a lawless place and that we don’t lose our privacy rights when we travel.” “This is a great day for travelers who now can cross the international border without fear that the government will, in the absence of any suspicion, ransack the extraordinarily sensitive information we all carry in our electronic devices,” said Sophia Cope, EFF Senior Staff Attorney.

No wonder why she didn't pass the bar exam. Genius Award Winner.
TAMPA — Roberta Guedes has a law degree, but she twice failed to pass the Florida Bar exam. She didn’t let that stop her from pretending to be a lawyer. Federal prosecutors say that in the months after Guedes graduated law school, she used the name of a classmate — one who did pass the Bar — to register two new law firms with the state Division of Corporations. She created websites for both companies, prosecutors said, touting fictitious national and international offices, and displayed stock photos of people who looked like lawyers but were not.
The boss listened to his grumbling. And the boss is Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.
This 69-year-old Vietnam veteran can finally retire now that his mortgage is paid off—and it is all thanks to his compassionate boss. Albert Brigas has been working as a mechanic at Renown Auto Restoration in San Antonio, Texas for the last 13 years. He has also been living in the same house for the last 24 years—and he had been putting off retirement until he could finish paying off the mortgage in 2020. Brigas’s boss, Rudy Quinones, has known about the vet’s eager retirement plans. In fact, Quinones told KENS: “Albert has been grumbling about that for the past year. His ultimate goal was to retire and have his house paid off.”

So the three relevant questions are:
- Do those heat up faster from driving smoothly for a few miles, or by idling?
- Do they incur more wear from driving smoothly for a few miles, or from idling?
- Do other systems (hydraulics, suspension, brakes, tires) benefit from driving smoothly for a few miles, or from idling?
I used to warm the car up until the idle speed dropped, even though the experts said to just drive it. Now, I just drive it.

It's amazing that the people who yell the loudest about the blue cities allegedly subsidizing the red rural areas tend to be liberal arts professors, people who work for progressive nonprofit organizations, political "activists", and suchlike.
Because, after all, their contributions to the economy are just titanic, compared to farmers and miners.

In 2008, I went to a party in a trendy part of Portland (without disclosing my political views), and a middle-aged woman stood up and read a diatribe about how superior people living in blue states were to people living in red states.
She looked like she spent a lot of time with her chardonnay and her cats, and probably had a sinecure with some governmental bureaucracy in town.
I thought: "Yeah, you're a really good example of how superior people are in blue states, aren't you."

I don't disagree with "that feels like the right answer", but I'm coming around to it. The most wear is going to be right when you turn it over cold, right? After a few seconds it's circulating and coming up to temperature. The driving in my neighborhood can't possibly put more wear on it than the first cold start, with all the oil drained down in the sump.

Used to see them with the grill totally blocked off back home in Alabama in the wintertime. Your Dad was right.

Why have a legislature and a court system when you can have a DA that refuses to do his job, but will cash the paychecks?
For the top lawyer, I seriously doubt he could point to a single law, statute or regulation criminalizing poverty and homelessness.

I'm a Philosophy PhD student at UC Berkeley, working in philosophy of mind, epistemology, and philosophy of science. I'm visiting NYU for 2018-2019.
I argue in my dissertation that our concept of consciousness is a functional concept. This stands in opposition to the conventional view that thinking of the mind in a first-personal, how-it-feels way is distinct from thinking of the mind in a third-personal, scientific way. The goal is to articulate the conceptual foundations that make a science of consciousness possible.
I graduated from Harvard in 2012 with a philosophy degree in the interdisciplinary Mind, Brain, and Behavior program.
I keep up a coding hobby by building tools for academics. And I enjoy the friendly competition of strategy-based board games.

But you have to have some heat coming out of the defroster vents before you can properly clear the windows, or keep them clear once you are in the car, and exhaling warm, moist air. Ten or fifteen minutes idling will warm up the engine, and the automatic transmission. AAA can go pound sand. They probably believe in Gerbil Worming, too.

Anyway, when night-time temps dipped into the minuses, he had to drain the oil from the family truck into a metal bucket and carry it into the kitchen (a few feet from the only source of heat -- a woodburning stove). Then the next morning, he had to pour the oil back into the truck and immediately start the engine before the oil could freeze.
I'm a big fan of simple/peaceful living ... but not sure I could have tolerated a bucket of oil in my kitchen during most winter nights (yuck).

I know it's fashionable to bash millenials, but they really do scare me, with their flippant neo-Stalinist impulses and totalitarian habits of mind. I barely recognize my profession sometimes. I mean, it's always been a liberal business, but back when I was getting started, it was still dominated by old-guard types who were First Amendment absolutists. Whatever their other flaws, they'd go to the barricades to protect freedom of speech.
The rising generation, though, takes Orwell's "1984" as a guide to best practices - or they would if they'd ever read it. A lot of them have spent basically their whole lives being fed PC garbage. I was speaking with a 20ish colleague the other day who was amped up about AOC and socialism and had NEVER HEARD of the Soviet Union. She thought that during the Cold War, we were fighting Nazis.
No wonder we're so screwed. My goal is to retire to a survival bunker way out west somewhere.

In sub-zero weather, the cold draft coming through the radiator can direct-chill the engine itself, even if the engine thermostat is restricting coolant flow.

Shibumi and I went to see "Stop Making Sense" at the DIA theater a couple of Saturday's ago. A lot of fun (we sat in the back of the theater and made out for a while).
The movie was so much fun, the audience in the theater actually applauded during the show. Shibumi watched the credits at the end (filmed in 1984, 35th anniversary) and actually knew a couple of the people in the production.
We went to see David Byrne perform August 2018 at the Fox Theater in 2018. Really great show to watch, really entertaining. In a "small hall", the Fox seats about 5,000 people. Did a few Talking Heads songs, including "Once in a Lifetime", and the crowd really went bonkers over that.

I saw the Heads a number of times during that period, and yeah, while their live shows were frenetic, the sound was mushy, and the lyrics were generally incomprehensible.
That changed with the Stop Making Sense tour in 1983 - which was elaborately staged, and actually had professionals who knew how to do concert audio. I was completely blown away by the difference from the earlier shows.

The Rolls Royce: "and a champagne chiller in the center console that dispenses pours of bubbly from the same vintage as the commissioner's birth year"
In Texas, that would be a rolling violation of the Open Container Law that criminalizes having readily available alcoholic beverage in the cabin.
Interestingly, the very same law encourages littering. If a LEO stops and discovers an empty beer bottle in the car, no matter how many days it has been empty, that is considered a violation.

It's truly a "viscious cycle"
Water is at least 10 time more abundant in the atmosphere than CO2 and is a much stronger "greenhouse gas" than CO2 (try telling that to your global warmist friends out and about). Let's regulate water vapor, it's dangerous!
So if more water gets fixed as ice and snow (glaciation), the atmosphere gets dryer and the planet gets colder, causing snow and glaciation to increase. It's a building cycle to an ice age.

For instance the young graphics people I work with have a decent enough grasp of theory and technology (though I got a better one faster coming up through industry and skipping the education, anyway).
But the problem I see is this:
1.) They get a silly idea in their heads that they're all artistes - that's for their own time. A year of bitchwork will disabuse them of that in a hurry, and get through to them that they are skilled laborers in an industry where 99% of jobs have much less creative latitude than they'd like. Not the next Rembrandt.
2.) They have seriously no clue about production process, workflows or project management in a business where timelines are constantly compressed and deadlines are ALL drop-deads. The schools don't teach them any of this shit.
3.) Math. Good lord, the math skills are nonexistent. And math makes you much, much faster at graphics.
I would have them do six months in a print shop. Machine operation, bindery, finishing etc. The only time they should be touching InDesign is for pre-press. That way they'll be able to prepare a g-ddamned press deliverable without wasting my time on every project where I have to collaborate with them.
Seriously, it's a problem.
And six months as a production bitch for a digital firm, doing the thankless, tedious day in and day out line work that will be much or all of their career, at least for several years.
The math they need to start teaching. Their innumerate.

Fun fact: the producers of "Battle of Britain" commissioned a score from Walton, but decided not to use it as it didn't fit with their conception of the film. Olivier, who had worked with Walton on many of his films, threatened to walk if they didn't use something of Walton's. That"s why the score for the climactic scene sounds entirely different from the score for the test of the film.

1.) They get a silly idea in their heads that they're all artistes - that's for their own time. A year of bitchwork will disabuse them of that in a hurry, and get through to them that they are skilled laborers in an industry where 99% of jobs have much less creative latitude than they'd like. Not the next Rembrandt.
2.) They have seriously no clue about production process, workflows or project management in a business where timelines are constantly compressed and deadlines are ALL drop-deads. The schools don't teach them any of this shit.
3.) Math. Good lord, the math skills are nonexistent. And math makes you much, much faster at graphics.
I would have them do six months in a print shop. Machine operation, bindery, finishing etc. The only time they should be touching InDesign is for pre-press. That way they'll be able to prepare a g-ddamned press deliverable without wasting my time on every project where I have to collaborate with them.
Seriously, it's a problem.
And six months as a production bitch for a digital firm, doing the thankless, tedious day in and day out line work that will be much or all of their career, at least for several years.
The math they need to start teaching. Their innumerate.

There is that, the work of making and moving things, which everyone need some experience with.
There is also the issue of making these bitches work hard. The firm I joined after college, everyone in our department did 70 hour weeks minimum and our group did 80 minimum. The year after my class was hired the new class was furious because management rejected their demands to have dry cleaning collected and delivered for employees.
Management eventually relented and paid for the dry cleaning too.

LOL. I learned graphics in a printshop. Our designer fucked us over bigly, the owner fired her in a rage, turned to me and the other production supervisor from the other shop, and said "you boys learn to do it. Now. We have to have this design final in two weeks, and we've wasted eight months."
So I did.
And it worked, so he never hired a new designer.
So I didn't do less than 70/week for the next three years. I had clothes, food, booze, and a cot in my office because I pretty much lived in that printing/designing dungeon.
The schoolboys have no concept of end-to-end work.

Keeping Californians in California as a whole would be pretty easy.
I think there are maybe five or six interstates that would have to have bridges and/or overpasses taken out, and a small but manageable number of secondary roads.

The MSM is not only the 4th estate, but the 5th column for the current attempt to overthrow a duly elected President of the UNITED STATES OFF AMERICA.
The Democrats, in construct with the 4th Estate and other elements of the 5th column, which include, the FBI, DOJ, CIA and other State Dept. holdovers from the OBAMA admin. are in fact and effort attempting nothing less than a COUP of a duly elected PRESIDENT. They have reveled their collective abomination of due process and are presently attempting to further erode the underpinnings of the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
ANY REASONABLE AMERICAN should be shocked to the core at this Soviet styled bullsh*t occurring within our borders.

Every year thousands of homes are destroyed thanks to fires, tornadoes, and flooding, among other causes great and small. And, because humans are incapable of moving or building new houses, all these people just sit in place, doing nothing, until they die, that's how it works, right?
... Isn't like, 50% of the country in one of those Northern European countries with a much more ideal government than ours reclaimed from the sea? Isn't China like, building entire artificial islands? I mean, come on. That is just how civilization works. Nature destroys, we rebuild, so long as we're still alive. I don't know why when we'll be no less than one order of magnitude richer in 100 years that people are overly concerned about the dreadfully slow encroachment of the seas. I mean, the Barrier islands off of North Carolina are pretty much moving on their own, so a little matter of the sea being a few inches higher or not is not a huge deal.

I wanted to turn the garage into a huge man cave music zone fitting for an asshole metal guitar player, but I could never shake the harley thing. I was working on them since I was 16, so it started as a hobby, and then later became something to pay the bills in between musical adventures. The garage became harley land and poof went the man cave idea. Then....then I had a brain storm. I said to the wife I GOT IT!!!. I'll build a second floor on the garage, with a muthafuckin elevator to move gear, and make it the musician man world from hell. Guitars littering the walls, and gigantic amp walls, and a fucking bar, and........
Right about there the wife says "and if a fire breaks out in harley land with the gas and chemicals what happens to man world?"

They just started a few years ago, and Swedish authorities are desperately trying to keep from noting any common characteristics of the bombers, other than the fact that they are "low income". They also try to minimize the news coverage of the bombings.
Yep, if Sven doesn't have enough money, he just starts bombing things.
A possible clue is that a Syriac Orthodox church has been bombed three times in the last year.
The bombs are getting bigger, too - "the biggest blast so far, which took place in the university town of Linkoping in June, demolished two residential buildings and damaged more than 250 apartments."

In New Orleans, sea level is irrelevant. NOLA is about 60 miles from the Gulf, and about 100 miles along Old Man River.
The water is about the Mississippi, and more importantly, Lake Pontchartrain. All the flooding from Katrina came from the lake.
Because the flood protection had been stopped by environmentalist group lawsuits; stopped by the Feds because of blatant corruption; and that part that failed most was the latest part to have been renewed, but the work was not enough according to the contractor, because an Army judge (Corps of Engineers) said well, stop anyway.

Katie Hill has anointed her successor - another white hard-Left feminist (no word if she's in to throuples).
Now Young Turk and Justice Democrat Cenk Uygur has announced that he is running, and little Katie is furious!
Katie on Twitter:
A local gal flipped a decades-long Rep seat to win by 9 pts. A local gal is the only one who can keep it blue and the only one the community deserves. I called @ChristyforCA25 before I resigned to make sure she would run. Boys, please be gentlemen and step aside. She's got this.
Fight, fight, fight!
Being Turkish qualifies you as a Person of Color, right?

And I paraphrase....If the Government fails to be of the people, then it is the right and the duty of the people to change the Government to return it to a function of the people....pretty bad ass.....they hinted at what ever means necessary.....read the CONSTITUTION!!!!!

What you write it true; there's an even bigger geologic factor going on; Louisiana is a geologically sinking basin, and it always has been. That's why the Mississippi flows there. (Water is gravity's dog, it follows it everywhere) irrc, southern Louisiana is sinking at a rate of about 2 - 3 feet per century. So why isn't it underwater? Because when the Mississippi was allowed to flood every spring, it added land, in the term of flood deposits, at a rate of about 3 - 4 feet per century. That rough balance has been in place for literally millions of years.
So what did we do after the 1927 floods? We built a massive flood control project, stopped the flooding , straightened out the main channel so that now, all of that sediment is funneled out into deep ocean and dumped there.
Within 100 years, almost all of South Louisiana is going to sink back under Gulf waters, unless we cut up the Three Rivers Diversion facility and let the entire area flood again every spring. The worst part is that every geologist in the country knows this; but it's too politically sensitive a topic to talk about so no one will say it.

The one I was thinking of was the brunette Robia LaMorte (she was a recurring actress on Buffy the Vampire Slayer back in the day.) Found out while reading her wiki page after her character was killed off, she was beside the road, praying for a sign from God when she encountered a Christian Biker Gang. Converted and dropped out of acting for the most part.

1) Floating ice has already displaced all the water it is ever going to.
4th grade science teacher put two ice cubes in a large glass and filled it to the brim with water. Ice melted and did not overflow the glass. So how are melting floating ice caps gonna be different?
2) Water finds it's own level. You can't fill just one end of a bathtub. Same teacher: two fish tanks with holes drilled just above the bottom, plastic tube running between them. Pour water in one and the water level will find equilibrium in both. So if NYC floods every coastal city on the globe must also flood - can't raise the level of water in NY harbor without doing the same for Both Kong.
These things are 4th grade basic and yet all the panic mongers rant on as though the physics are magic. Seems simple enough to me or am I missing something?

I dunno - how the F there are that many grenades available. Just know it's been an epidemic the last couple years. I vaguely half-recall that I read something that addressed the question of where the grenades were coming from.
Just read a gruesome account of an accidental grenade death during the battle of Okinawa. Did not think there were many freak/defective incidents, at least with our grenades.
Jap grenades did have a decent defect rate AND required a hard blow to start the fuze. Americans at Okinawa said there were night incidents where infiltrators would bang the grenades on their helmets - which was the signal to quickly blaze away at the location of the sound.

The easiest way to understand the ice floating in water thing is as follows: If something is floating in water, that something displaces it's own weight in water.
Now, ice is just water, so the mass of the volume of ice is the same as the mass of the water it displaces. The volume when that ice melts is therefore the same.

Now, this doesn't work with salt water as much. Place ice cubes in water with a high salt content, and the volume of the melt water will be greater than the volume of the salt water it displaces depending on the concentration.
You can easily verify this with the same experiment.

after all, once you accept the fact that at this point in the proceedings, Adam Schiff doesn't even know the name of the WhistleBlower, the rest of the story sort of makes sense.
Of course on the flip side, if you believe that the head mofo what be in charge of this seven monkey goat fuck could not possibly NOT know the name of the Whistle Blower at this point, then you are forced to accept the possibility that Adam Schiff will utter bald faced lies directly into the microphone, and is a lying sack-o-shit.

California cops respond to 2 homeless men shot with arrows
Two homeless men living at an encampment near San Francisco were shot with arrows early Sunday in an attack that was not random, a report said.
The victims were not identified in reports but lived in an encampment around the area of Richmond. Both men were hit in the abdomen, and one was also struck in the leg, the Mercury News reported. A homeless woman was also targeted, but the assailant reportedly missed.

Salty,
The mentor working with me is of the "throw them in at the deep end" school. The head of the IP section has been away and is of the "take them one step at a time" school. So I'm feeling a little better than last week, where I wondered what I'd gotten myself into.
I'm learning very quickly there's a big difference between reading patents, working on your own inventions and writing up someone else's application. Some of the verbiage I'm accustomed to using now gets the "we never say that nowadays!" treatment.
Anyway, I'm working on 1) drafting a specification and 2) responding to an office action.

Thanks Salty,
I don't doubt that I'll get more adept. It's just a learned language. I've learned now to write out the story first, get the technical points straight and only then put the right sauce on top. As for office actions, read the action, read the art and read your own application and understand them all.

No problem.
Just build a small fire under the oil pan and retire to the house for a second cuppa.
Fortunately the garage was detached from the house so his rig and the garage were the only losses.
He had a lot of unusual experiences.
Not all of them were self inflicted.
There was the time he and his brother were working on the North Slope and the only place to cash their checks on the way home on Saturday night was a bar frequented by otters...
