Saturday Morning Coffee Break

***

Good morning Morons and Lurkers. Let us take a gander at a few items that didn't get too much attention here at the AosHQ this past week. As always, this is an open thread, so be nice to one another. Don't run with sharp objects. And please don't tug on the 'ettes pony tails.

Know your target and what is beyond it.

Bah Humbug!

Only our government would think a farmer working with soil is a pollutant.

I could have told you that.

Christmas tree draws complaints.

Pig Man, not a super hero.

Carl King has too much free time on his hands.

Our trolls aren't this bad.

Help, I've fallen and I can't get up.

My misanthropic side says Sharia law for you buddy.

Schools aren't doing what parents are supposed to do.

Good bye ~~Port~~ Asbestos

And finally,

Lassie go get the Fire Department! Now!!!!

Have a great weekend!!!

withholding federal housing vouchers that could benefit 50,000 homeless
people.

It's like the modern cross dressing craziness. When nose piercings and full sleeve tattoos are fairly common, you've got to find the next step to one up "normal" weirdos.

Lena's obvious next attention craving step is lots of naked. Possibly a sex tape. After that it will be bodily waste products.

I'm going to just start with the assumption Trump is NOT withholding 50 thousand vouchers, but try to wrap one's head around that number.

If he's supposedly withholding 50K vouchers... how many vouchers are ALREADY out there? If you need more than 50K vouchers, you've already failed as a state.

Don't try to please me, I hate popular music. Fake country and otherwise, and when it comes to Christmas music, it better be Mel singing about his nuts or Bing or Burl or some other old dead guy.

In fact, the ONLY remake of a Christmas song I will accept is Nat King Cole singing the Christmas song. Basically if you are still alive, you are not allowed to record Christmas music.

Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue is expected to announce a
finalized rule Wednesday to promote self-sufficiency for able-bodied
adults without children who receive food stamps.

The rule aims to
close loopholes used by states that frequently grant broad exemptions
for recipients to remain on food stamps longer without actively seeking a
job or work training.

The get off your lazy ass and get a job rule. How about that?

I know one of the Romero films, can't remember which one, had them communicating with a desiccated corpse. She was "explaining" the need for brains... it's a cool and creepy scene, but ultimately a disservice to the zombie universe, I think. They're not supposed to "know" anything. They're dead. They eat.

Because I'm a jerk, sometimes when people say "it's a shame that we have kids going hungry in this country when we have ...... blah, blah, blah (billionaires, a military, guns, whatever it is they don't like, etc), I say "no, we don't have kids going hungry. Actually the problem is that most of them are big, fat asses. So fat that they have health problems".

They get really mad at me and tell me that childhood hunger is a big issue. I tell them it isn't and invite them to tell me how many kids die of hunger, to name me one instance that doesn't involve parental neglect because the parents are sociopaths or dope addicts, where a child starved to death just because they couldn't buy food.

They think for 8 tenths of a second and then tell me that you don't have to starve to death to be hungry. I tell them I agree, most of the big fat asses I know are hungry all the time, but that there is even a malnourishment problem in the country, other than one arising from poor eating choices.

Then they tell me it's because healthy foods are too expensive. I ask them what the cost of water is versus Coca-Cola. What is the cost of a bag of Doritos versus a bag of carrots.

Then they call me a dick. And I say "Yes, I'm a dick. But you can see I'm correct, yes?"

Yes. I will accept that there are other types of "zombies" out there. Namely, live humans that have had their higher brain functions destroyed (eg, the 28 Days Later version), and if you want to suggest they can think and learn, I'll allow it.

But if you are a reanimated corpse, no matter how you got reanimated, you can't think. You just eat. I will even accept the theorizing that occurred in Romero's mall movie. The living thought they must be congregating toward the mall because of some vestige of memory that still exists in there. Otherwise....

Hell, I doubt there is more than a handful of holidays I haven't been actually "hungry" at some point in the day, I'm hungry every normal day, and I've always "missed a meal." My giant sons have always refused breakfast, were they "starving?" No.

Also children if asked have little desire for healthful meals and the ones with crappy parents are happy to eat chips and Hawaiian punch.

In many places, you'll have foodbanks that make every effort to provide nutritious stuff, staples like beans and rice, with as much produce as can be had, even if it's dented cans. Then there's another foodbank down the street that has chips and soda.

The nearest problem place near me is Trenton. There is bus service to many shopping centers with grocery stores. There is also a very large farmers' market that sells good stuff in the growing season for low prices, but attracts mainly suburbanites. Go figure. I also believe NJ has some sort of transportation subsidy, but Trentonians are always able to get to the mall, so why is the shoprite (across the street) not accessible?

167 At Walmart yesterday in line behind 2 women who certainly fit in at this establishment. Anyway they were struggling with what food to keep and what to put back with what little money they had. I was just about to offer to cover the rest, less than $20, when I heard one say "I've got some money in my account we could use" and the other one snapped back "we need that for smokes! "...

And then suddenly I didn't care anymore.... don't hate smokers, used to be one but... priorities, they matter

174 Just got home from getting my car inspected. It passed.

The thing is, I got a fix-it ticket for a tail light earlier in the week. It was a loose tail light bulb. It worked fine as soon as I messed with it a bit. The ticket was issued on Tuesday night. The cop said it would be fine if I have the mechanic sign the ticket today. I may be late in getting the ticket back to the court, however, despite what the state trooper told me.

Worst-possible-case scenario: They haul me away and I'm never seen again. Should this come to pass, I intend to go all Antonio Gramsci while I rot behind bars. I've been avoiding the dragnets for the last half of this week and reading this blog as I await my fate. Please know that the posts and comments will make it into my writings.

Should I get access to the Internet, I'll encode my DIN in here, somewhere. Be on the lookout. Once you see this, you must help me to smuggle my book out of the prison for all the world to read. And for heaven's sake, don't call it my "manifesto" when you get it published. A "treatise" would be nice, though a bit pretentious. I'll leave it up to you, o heroes in the gray boxes.

Because I'm a jerk, sometimes when people say "it's a shame that we have kids going hungry in this country when we have ...... blah, blah, blah (billionaires, a military, guns, whatever it is they don't like, etc), I say "no, we don't have kids going hungry. Actually the problem is that most of them are big, fat asses. So fat that they have health problems".

They get really mad at me and tell me that childhood hunger is a big issue. I tell them it isn't and invite them to tell me how many kids die of hunger, to name me one instance that doesn't involve parental neglect because the parents are sociopaths or dope addicts, where a child starved to death just because they couldn't buy food.

They think for 8 tenths of a second and then tell me that you don't have to starve to death to be hungry. I tell them I agree, most of the big fat asses I know are hungry all the time, but that there is even a malnourishment problem in the country, other than one arising from poor eating choices.

Then they tell me it's because healthy foods are too expensive. I ask them what the cost of water is versus Coca-Cola. What is the cost of a bag of Doritos versus a bag of carrots.

Then they call me a dick. And I say "Yes, I'm a dick. But you can see I'm correct, yes?"

Now, I know they all get the talking points, but I'd always assumed that since they have a hive mind, they would all say the same thing anyway,

But this was so egregious and laughably false that it's obvious they were told exactly what to say and how to say it.

.....

What's left for the parents to do?

I asked a lady customer that a few months back during conversation. I told her they ought to send me one or two of those kids and I'd raise them if their parents aren't going to feed them, educate them, buy them clothes or school supplies, buy them presents for Christmas or even freaking love them.

I won't even take the tax "refund" slush fund payment for my hard work of banging without a rubber.

I'll be happy to teach a kid how to read, do arithmetic without a cell phone, clean gutters, mow a yard, change oil in the truck, raise chickens, shoot a gun, study the Bible, recite the Constitution, wash clothes, cook a grilled cheese, saw a board. Shit they might need to know some day and might make a decent human out of them.

All the schools do is feed them both food and liberal theology and turn 'em loose to f*ck, steal, fight and turn out another generation of slack ass bastards.

She looked at me pretty weird after that.

I realize this is nitpicking, but George Michael's act was Wham! -- not Wham. The exclamation point is important and should be intoned when mentioning the duo verbally.

Elvis had a great voice, boundless charisma and good looks, and by all accounts acted like a gentleman most of the time.
But his manager--in addition to ripping him off--always demanded a bigger cut from songwriters. This ensured that Elvis had to record mostly second-rate material.
That's why--outside of the hits--I have little use for him.

259 I remember when I had my abusive husband thrown out of our home - wow, has it been 30 years already - and with a baby and a 4 year old, I refused to get welfare.

After I bought diapers, formula, and baby food for my son, my 4 year old daughter and I would have about $20 for groceries each week. Peanut better and jelly, mac and cheese, oatmeal were our staples.

We would make a game out of it, trying to be creative with that $20.

One time when we were in the grocery check out line, I saw steaks, crap cereal, and all sorts of good food loaded up in the cart ahead of us.

They paid with food stamps.

God almighty, was I angry.

Didn't point it out to my daughter at the time, but maybe I should have.

I must have said something to her at some point though, because when I mentioned the incident to her a few weeks ago, she remembered it.

But she added (paraphrasing), "you should have gotten food stamps, too. You were entitled to them. We could have been malnourished. That may not have been the most responsible choice on your part"

She got an earful from me.

No, no, NO. If I can provide for my family, why take welfare? Ugh.

It was all filmed, as he walked down the street, got in a cop car and drove home. They let him do a press conference, with cops everywhere, and in the documentary they had retired officers talking about what their roles were, and what they were going to do, depending on the situation.

In the end, everybody lived, and Tony was found not guilty by reason of insanity... although they held him for about 10 years, because he refused to cooperate with the whole psych exam sham.

Point being, nobody on the force that day had any prior experience with such a thing, and yet everybody... EVERYBODY acted with professionalism and frankly, humanity.

I don't think cops are even remotely capable of such actions today. When they're not trained to use brute force, even when it's not necessary, they're trained to coddle real actual bad guys.

Posted by: hogmartin at December 07, 2019 10:54 AM (t+qrx)

Oh I agree with everything you wrote. The snob thing is not so much about brand but about certain capabilities. I prefer bigger engines and the things that make the cars go fast, turn tight, and stop quick. I prefer to have surplus capacity in these areas. It is easier to find those things in some brands.

At the same time it does seem that more manufacturers are doing more, successfully, with smaller engines and technology so it may be a good time to update my assumptions.

Though had I known he was gay and we were not thinking of the same thing and that had we been in the same room when he was singing the song I would have been thinking of a girl and he might have been thinking of me.

That would have made the song not as good.

IIRC, he was writing on the naked body of his "girlfriend" (read: beard) in the video.

I looked around about a year ago and took a while to think about "if my car died RIGHT NOW, what's the replacement that I'd like to have?"

Did a few months of one-off test drives and feature comparisons to narrow down the list and then set up a cargurus.com search to notify me when something came up within 100 miles that matched all the criteria. Ended up getting a 2016 Mazda6 GT at a reasonable price. It wasn't even on my horizon last year. Do not regret.

The stack is similar to the Ford stack.

Saying that at work, however, would get one of the gay people to say he was gay and that Queen and ABBA and Cher and others' music have been embraced by and are now part of gay culture. It's political.

No, you don't get music. You don't get to claim the music I like for your identity bullcrap. You already coopted the word "gay" -- that's where I draw the line. Call yourself "gold star" and I'm going to ask which of your relatives died in which war.

No, gays, you certainly don't get to claim that term.

Ford's relationship to KIA is that they had owned an interest in it at one time, but then tried to buy it outright in 1998--but were beaten by Hyundai.
But I do see a lot of Ford/KIA dealerships around, so maybe they have some kind of relationship.

Hey! This'll be of interest for all you Scotch-heads out there:

Laphroaig's got a Limited Edition blend for the Holiday's called -

Laphroaig Santa's Cask

And get this...the scotch is finished in barrels used to contain peppermint syrup!

Apparently, it's excellent. With ratings of 9.8-10 out of 10.

Some blurbs:

"...takes the rich and spicy, Christmas Pudding fruitiness of Laphroaig Lore and adds cool burst of peppermint that sent this reviewer over the moon.

You'll will have been a very good girl or boy, indeed, if you're toasting Christmas with Laphroaig's Santa's Cask."

"...who knew the intense peat flavors of Laphroaig would match so well with peppermint. This one has it all. It's like a bonfire at the North Pole with bacony, sweet, roasted elves, fruits, spice, and cooling blast of peppermint..."

"...Introducing your new favorite scotch, or at the very least, one of your all-time top five favorites..."

Anyway, there you go, scotch people.

Time for a walk. Be back later.

369 Sometimes the engineering luxury is better than the interior luxury. We drove a rented Mercedes GLA through Denver to Pueblo in icy rainy conditions and road construction. The braking, overall handling and engineering can't be beat. Crazy little things made an impression like how the car didn't wander one millimeter with my foot off the brake until I engaged the gas pedal.
It was a sweet ride.

Why would a dealer cut a deal to get you a lower price when they can sell the same car with markup to someone who will sign a 72 month note the next week?

Used to be they could bank the cash immediately but with interest rates so low financing is more profitable now.

We do a massive disservice to kids by teaching them that car loans are normal. Buy cheap and make a car "payment" to yourself just like you have to pay for a loan. Repeat until you have enough for your next car. Never stop the habit.

I was in a bind. The old beater was on last legs. Tired of beaters at my old age of 29. Put down substantial down payment, low interest on 24 mo. loan thru the CU. With proper maintenance, should be the last car I buy. And, I get to drive in the snow every winter. I want some metal around me.

He pretty much never used the JEJ voice, after he got elected. It was what got guys like Chrissy Mathews to cream his pants crease. It's not Bobama's natural voice, and yes, when you hear the Scoamf speaking in his natural voice, you get S-whistles at the end of sentences, and a whiny, tinny tone.

They cut the deal because they know the dealership down the road will give them that same deal.

I noticed his absence too and I hope all is well, and that he's taking the week off in order to prepare to help explain the IG report.

..
It honestly depends. A car loan on a new econobox from a good maker - one with cheap insurance and good reliability - which you then drive for 10 - 15 years with a known maintenance track record can be a life changing event.

I have spent my entire working life watching people who were trying to claw their way out of poverty shoot themselves in the dick by driving shitboxes that break down and empty their savings, throttle their careers, or even cost them their jobs.

Similarly, I have watched a lot of middle class people struggle with the consequences of buying slightly more expensive but still shit cars; used stuff with $4k of overdue repairs, teutonic stuff they can't afford parts for, or utter crap flash-in-the-pan domestic models of the sort that clog junkyards before they're 1- years old.

Kids need to be taught how to maximize their auto dollars for their specific application. Saving depreciation on a good model with modest miles is no longer a wholy safe bet, because so few drivers actually know how to maintain their vehicle. An eye-popping percentage of millenials do things like pull into parking spots and stop the car by putting it into park while still moving, dicking around putting it into neutral coasting on the highway, etc. That's on top of the usual disregard for routine service.

399 Here's an interpretation of "one in five struggle with hunger":

They got this number by evaluating how many people are receiving some kind of food-related help. So, how many kids are receiving free or reduced lunches? How many families receive food stamps? Etc.

So people receiving, from others, the means to feed themselves are "struggling with hunger" even though they are eating.

Posted by: not so at December 07, 2019 10:42 AM (HALdu)

* * * *

They are solid cars from my experience if your requirements are basic reliable transportation with a long warranty.2015 Hyundai Elantra-- no problems, bought it for a couple of my kids to drive during their college years, bumper-to-bumper warranty and 5yr road side assistance will end just after the second kid graduates. (he couldn't have a car on campus until his junior year, his sister was driving it before that). Timing chain, not a timing belt, which is nice. He/we've taken it on 500 mile drives and it's quite comfortable. Not a sports car, which is fine if you don't need a sports car. Paid ~13,500 new, but then another ~500 for a spare and jack..... wasn't standard on the base model.

2018 Hyundai Elantra-- Same, no problems, daughter bought it when she graduated because she liked driving the other Elantra so much. Warranty will last her through the Masters program she'll start next year and her first few years working and be paid off by then. 14,000 new and it came with the spare (doughnut) and jack.

2017 Kia Optima- my older daughter bought that when her husband totaled her Kia Forte (older than your 5 year window, but a reliable trouble free car). That has had some issues with the tail lights, and door handles on the passenger side breaking. But it is a very roomy practical sedan for a family with a couple of kids with car seats.

My ex-inlaws have bought a couple of Hyundais and like them as well, liked an Elantra they had and got a Santa Fe.
