Did the blood work yesterday; they've been sending the results within a day, so I should have them this morning. Maybe. And my boss left his office yesterday after our meeting and didn't come back until just before I was ready to leave, so I didn't sit down with him about my retirement plans. He'll be in today. I think. (I keep his calendar, but he doesn't tell me when he's leaving or coming back.) Howz ever'body doin'?

The DOJ is seeking to break up Google, or rather to chip off a very small part of it. "Yes. Our first goal is to create 'Oogle', the umbrella under which we hope to unite all porn sites. This by way of getting to 'Ogle', the premier dating site for guys who too often hear the phrase, 'My eyes are up here!' when they interact with women."

Microsoft didn't think people would actually want to play Flight Simulator 2024. (Tom's Hardware) The servers that deliver the data stream have been overloaded and crashed entirely at least once. Since you can't simply download the game once and play it, that makes it more or less unplayable ... Nice work, Microsoft Might we suggest that you deliver the product via floppy disks?

Good morning.
We’re getting a fair amount of rain here in the north sacramento valley, but it’s not the apocalyptic bomb cyclone as prophesied. 3.2inches in 15hrs, so it’s definitely a soaker. So far the wind isn’t really a thing. I was on the front porch last night at about 8pm and saw what appeared to be a transformer failure two poles down from my abode - a moderately bright sphere of amber light followed by a popping sound - happened three more time in rapid succession. PG&E crew rolled up 30 minutes later, and 20 minutes after that power was restored. Posted by: 13times at November 21, 2024 04:29 AM (MJINk) 26
My boss told us, too, that we can unofficially take Wednesday next week off as well as the Thurs. & Friday holidays for T'giving. It'll be a good time to see if I can get Stirling to the vet for his annual rabies shot. No doubt Dagny will need hers too.
Both felines are doing well: Stirling is curled up on a paper bag from Whole Foods on the floor, and Dagny is thinking Deep Cat Thoughts atop the kitchen counter. I used to insist cats not get on the counter at any time, but I gave up long ago. Easier to clean the counter than chase the cat.

I have a refurbished Dell laptop that I bought on Amazon. Its ok but has 'oh, that's why its 'refurbished'. The keyboard has some keys that don't work. I've been using a spare keyboard. The other problem is, at times, it just stops responding to commands. The mouse will move around the display but clicking does nothing, the keyboard is ignored. The only way to turn it off is to just hit the power button. I'm wondering of the laptop keyboard and the usb keyboard are conflicting. I don't think it's Linux Mint. I think it's a hardware issue. Not a major thing, I still have this laptop which Microsoft is going to stop updating next year (Win10). I hate Microsoft.

I have a Win10 laptop that my work bought for me during the Sniffle Scare, and somehow it never got recorded as part of my employer's inventory. It's mine now. Maybe I should research Linux and try installing Mint on it. (Probably me, but I think of cookies when I hear the name of that variant, instead of a place that produces coins.)

The search engine itself is the problem. They all are. I usually use bing, but it has the same problems. They have all gotten progressively stupider as they try to 'manage' the results for whatever end, be it advertising or propaganda.
You have this vast store of human information (true or false.) However your only portal to it is through these engines. It is breathtakingly horrifying to think of that conduit being in control of people like gurgle. Posted by: Aetius451AD at November 21, 2024 04:49 AM (bss/y) 45

Ellen DeGeneres was actually very funny in what was probably her first TV show. It was a comedy about a real estate office in some swanky area like Beverly Hills. I think she was some smart-mouthed lunatic secretary.

The crew, who had been on their way to fit rain covers over the war machine following its service, got closer and realised to their disbelief that two people were crammed into the rear cockpit of the two seater aircraft having sex.

Reddit is veeeeeery concerned that once all the illegals are deported by literally Hitler, the price of food will increase. Oh so now they’re worried about inflation. But the past 4 years that saw Fox price double was no biggie.
And yeah if millions of illegals really are deported (I’m skeptical it will be millions) the price of things will go up. Including food. They’re not wrong. But their sudden consternation about it is hilarious. Posted by: It is Go Time Donald at November 20, 2024 10:00 PM (GS5wg) 14
Sorry I'm late, the hinge on the pantry door was squeaky, so I went to get the WD-40 to spray in it, but I forgot that I used up all the WD-40 while I was working on the oscillating neuro-scintilator last week, so I had to go to the hardware store to pick up a new can. When I cranked up the ol' Firebird, I noticed that the significant other had come home with the gas tank at "E." Again. I texted her to express my disappointment, and she said to get some celery and a box of Tater Cremes while I was out. "But the market is on the other side of town from where I am going." She responded with the Nike slogan. Okay, I filled up the gas tank, picked up the celery and Tater Cremes and came home. I went to put the Tater Cremes in the pantry....
SQEEEAK Damn! I forgot the WD-40. The hell with it, I just spritzed the stupid hinge with some cooking spray. Problem solved. Posted by: tankdemon at November 20, 2024 10:01 PM (jfvTO) 15

From Hagerty.... Regarding the Mazda 323 GTX's
From this dusty swirl of cutthroat competition was born the Mazda 323 GTX, by far the rarest flavor of the Japanese brand’s plucky two-door 323 hatchback (called the Familia in Japan). Imported to the United States for the 1988 and ’89 model years, the 323 GTX combined turbos, all-wheel drive, and a race-ready chassis into a rally package like Mazda had never produced. And yet, people forgot the GTX in the intervening decades since it was last offered for sale. That’s a shame—this hot hatch’s rarity, performance cred, and period styling would make a quirky and rewarding addition to any collection. The catch? Finding one is tough, as only 1243 examples ever made it across the Pacific to settle in American garages, and many of them were treated… vigorously.

Honestly there are so many moving parts that its hard to predict exactly what will happen if we can deport them all - You'll have increased wages and jobs that will need to be done by someone (looking to empty the welfare rolls here too) increased prices since they can't be paying illegals slave wages, reduced demand due less people.
Not sure how it will shake out but I voted on the premise that I'm damn ready to find out. Posted by: Ryan Frank at November 20, 2024 10:04 PM (CcF4i) Posted by: Piper at November 20, 2024 10:04 PM (pZEOD) 26

I was more focused on SOTA, but the area where I'm vacationing is pretty flat so I went to a state park. The Midwest seems to be a good spot for radio, probably due to its proximity to the higher population density along the eastern seaboard. I might hit another park tomorrow or Friday if the hunting stays crappy.

When my sister and I were young my parents didn't put out any Christmas decorations before Christmas other than the outside lights so Santa would know. Christmas Eve was just another night other than my dad would read Twas the Night Before Christmas and my mom would put out a plate of cookies for Santa and then my sister and I would be sent to bed early because if we didn't go to bed Santa wouldn't come.
And then they went to work. They put up the tree and decorated it. Put out all the Christmas decorations all over the house. Put out the presents. Hung the stockings. Did everything. And when my sister and I came down the next morning it was frigging magic. Santa brought everything, even the tree. I could never figure out why my dad kept dozing off on the couch.

Somewheres in/around Amarillo they have that 72 oz. steak challenge though. Posted by: Beef, it's what's for dinner at November 20, 2024 10:16 PM (PoEmG) ---- So it's still going? In 1974 my lab partner and I took off on a USA tour from Cambridge, MA. From LA we did the Grand Canyon and then somewhere we started seeing these signs for this steakhouse. We stopped there and had a regular steak and learnt all about that 72oz/potato/bread roll challenge. Posted by: Ciampino - Good Times at November 20, 2024 10:25 PM (i0xsb) 126

Actually, you fixed it *better* than you would've with the ol' WD. See, WD-40 is neither an oil or a lubricant. That it exhibits such qualities is but a short-term artifact of the "carrier" fluid, which is the base of it's Water Displacing formula. Oh, and as a bonus? Spray an old tee shirt down with WD-40, and wrap your favorite, old, blued handgun in it before you store it away. You'll come back to find a dulled, mottled, and utterly ruined finish on what used to be a gun to be proud of. Buy either name brand lubricating oils. Or, one quart of Mobile One, and have all your gun and household lubricating needs filled for a lifetime. *pours bourbon* ONT Greetings, Horde. CHEERS!

Amarillo has Palo Duro Canyon, a Buffalo Wild Wings, the Starlight Ranch music venue, a few breweries (the Six Car is lovely but a bit pretentious), Apple Bee's when desperation sets in, a bunch of chain hotels, a Howdy Partner statue out west of town, and the Cadillac Ranch, even further west, if you are into old cars covered in 3 feet of spray paint.

Those lights remain OFF until the night *after* Thanksgiving.

Pi Day is NOT fake!
At least, not if you use the proper day. It is not 3/14. That would be merely 0.2142857. And 14/3 would be too much, at 4.667. The true Pi Day is 22/7, at 3.14.

It would take 9 hours to drive to Amarillo from Houston.
Depending on the time of day, it takes an hour just to drive from one side of Houston to the other. Katy can be another hour. San Antonio 3.5 hours from Katy. San Antonio isn't even 1/2 way to Amarillo. On the way to San Antonio you'll notice these two little hills. If you look North and South from I-10 you'll notice they go off into the distance. If you look at a satellite photo of TX, you'll see this is the edge of a giant impact crater which predates the Rocky Mountains. The western edge of the crater was obliterated when the Mountains formed. The center of the crater looks like it is in the Midland - Odessa area.

JackStraw, that is how I grew up. One sibling would stay home with me (the youngest, by 8 years) and get me to sleep while everyone else went to midnight Mass, and when they came home, game on.

For several years I volunteered with Catholic Charities in a southern town. We did a huge Christmas drive for needy families. It takes ALOT of planning and organization for an event like that. We would start working on the event late summer. We served 200 families and provided toys, clothes and a full Christmas dinner. Almost all of the families were POC. We would get complaints saying "we don't want white people food". Really, we provided your family with a turkey, ham and many of the usual Christmas dinner items. Sometimes you can't win.

On short runs, mufflers would become wet with condensed water inside, and partially-burned fuel would dissolve in it, forming a weak acid, that eventually ate through the metal. A long road trip, say 20-30 miles, would heat the muffler up enough to drive off all the moisture. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon

Write a script, and I will get it to him.

WD40 also plays hell with some varieties of stainless steel. Ed Harris told the tale years ago on the old Fidonet Firearms group. He was QC manager at Ruger at the time and they had a spate of barrel failures of stainless revolvers. In one case, the barrel actually snapped off when a deputy hit a bad guy with his gun.
It turned out that a machinist had ran out of the specified cutting oil on the machine that formed the threads on the barrel where it screws into the frame and had substituted WD40. The residue corroded microflaws into major cracks. Huge recall. Incidentally, I still use the original recipe "Ed's Red" published there to clean my fireams.

You're a celebrity now... The rules are different for celebrities. I know it. I've been there. I've been a celebrity. I used to be a bigger celebrity.

...Tempo with the fiberglass driveshaft that went whup, whup, whup. Posted by: Braenyard at November 20, 2024 11:27 PM (aNQwd)
You're thinking about an early-mid '60's Pontiac Tempest. Engine in front, Transmission in back. Large diameter fiberglass driveshaft, in between. The Ford Tempo was a late 80s front-wheel-drive car, one size down from it's styling inspiration, the Taurus. One size up, from the Escort. Usually, quite reliable to reach 100k mi. Guesswork and sorcery, thereafter. Driving experience best described as "coma-inducing". It was a vehicular appliance, but it lacked the soul of a CAR.

350 I talked to son this morning and he said they got nothing in Tacoma.
Posted by: Jordan61 It would appear they have much bigger outages to clear up before they get to our little area. PSE outage map shows the Eastside got hammered. ---------------------------- It was a big nothingburger in the South Puget Sound, although closer to the Cascades there were a lot of downed lines and power outages. Very unusual wind pattern, strong winds from the EAST due to an inland high pressure system spilling over the mountains towards a hurricane-level low pressure system off the coast. Areas in valleys running down from the Cascades got smacked. That football moment happened at the '82 Cal-Stanford Big Game. Remember it well. The Snodfarts (now "Trees") thought they had the game wrapped up after a FG, kicked a squib kick that Cal proceeded to move down the field via a bunch of lateral passes, even while the Snodfart sideline and band thought the game was over and rushed the field. The final Cal ball carrier ran over a trombonist to get into the endzone. No whistle had been blown to call the play...TD Cal!! As a UC alum, the Snodfarts deserved it.

Nikki Haley betrayed how pissed off she is that she’s not getting any appointment. Attacked Tulsi Gabbard for being a Russian asset.
It’s really instructive to see who the Deep State fears. Matt Gaetz is getting a lot of heat, but Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr are getting truly intense hatred from the DC crowd. Posted by: Tom Servo at November 21, 2024 12:57 AM (W6hoT) 439
I loved the football and band on the field video! What fun!
I saw ZZ Top in or around 1975 while in college. With a group of guys and random girls I went to concerts with. It was wild. We had 5th row floor seats we paid extra for in a large venue. The crowd decided to stampede the floor from the upper decks, and one of the guys grabbed me to prevent me falling off the chairs. But the concernt went on and no one cared or was stomped to death. I am pretty sure this was the concert where there was a rattlesnake onstage in a glass cage. I hate snakes, big time. I was not hallucinating as I saw a snake and blame ZZ Top. I don't think any other concerts I went to were nuts enough to have a snake. I will have to ask my friend if I see him in a few weeks, as I am positive there was a snake onstage, probably pretty ticked off by the vibrations. Rock on, Morons.

They found out it needed a gas valve instead. It didn't light off. They have to calibrate it. Her Majesty's car was running rough. The garage said the compression on one of the cylinders was out of whack. They said we should have a full-engine check to find out what's wrong, but that the car (325,000 miles) may be at its end. I thought I'd mow the lawn. Got out the riding mower. It kept stalling out. No gas seen in the fuel filter. Had to call to have it taken in. I thought I'd use the walk-behind mower. I started work.

Well, that was fun. Went to an indoor gun range tonight. I've been to gun ranges, but not indoor ones. I have a Colt .357 King Cobra revolver, bought last month. It's used. I was happy it worked. You never know with used. I found out I need practice. Lots of practice. I kept missing high. I can join this gun range, but I'll just do the monthly option for 2-3 months. The annual option is a bit too steep. Anyway, it was fun and will plan to do it again in Dec. Maybe a couple of times in Dec. Practice, I'm talking about, practice (channeling Allen Iverson)

"In July 2020, ten former employees of The Ellen DeGeneres Show accused DeGeneres of creating a 'toxic' on-set atmosphere of 'racism, fear, and intimidation', including failing to address executives sexually harassing female employees and making 'racist micro-aggressions and abuse' to or about employees of color, firing employees for taking medical and bereavement leave, and replacing her own crew with non-union workers during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. The allegations, which the employees made anonymously to Buzzfeed News, followed previous reports of hostile and bullying behavior, such as a former employee's allegation that DeGeneres fired him for setting up a GoFundMe page to cover medical costs not covered by their workplace health insurance."

64 One of the advantages revolvers have over (most) autoloaders is that you can press them up against an adversary and still fire.

Pressing a pistol into somebody's ribcage kind of defeats the purpose of a projectile weapon. The point of having a gun is thst you can inflict damage on somebody without having to get close enough to them that they can punch, kick, headbutt, or otherwise inflict unwanted pain upon your person.
Posted by: tankdemon at November 20, 2024 07:56 PM (jfvTO) --- But what if they do? Handguns are used for clearing rooms, tunnels and a last ditch-defense of one's person. One reason why heavy revolvers have continued to see use is because they provide better hand to hand capability if it comes to that. Handguns are basically swords with extra long reach. In close, auto-loaders can be disabled by proximity. Revolvers can as well, depending on the lock, but all of them will fire if the cylinder is unimpeded and they are pressed up against someone. The wounds from that are also horrific. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at November 20, 2024 08:03 PM (llXky) 137

There's a great scene in "To Have and Have Not" where Bogart informed the Vichy French leadership (at gunpoint) that one of them is going to call the station and let their boat go, which means the other is going to get a beating for nothing. He then proceeds to use (a prop, of course) full-sized .38 to beat the great out of them. ...and the scene then cuts to one of them being bruised and cut up and doing what he says.

Back in 2015 Nissan used Chapman's "Cat's in the Cradle" to pitch their cars. It was back dropped with race footage and the story of a race driver who spends time away from his wife and son. While it perfectly hit the nail on the head with the motor racing community, the car enthusiast community it soured on a lot of people and was considered a horrible commercial.
Ironically, ‘Cats in the Cradle’ was Chapin’s biggest hit, reaching No. 1 in 1974. A tireless activist who co-founded WhyHunger, he was killed in a car crash in 1981 while en route to perform a free concert on Long Island. * Follow me for more useless trivia * Posted by: Martini Farmer at November 20, 2024 09:08 PM (Q4IgG) 333

THE big "answer song" was "Yes I'm Lonesome Tonight" (1960), Dodie Steven's reply to the Elvis version of "Are You Lonesome Tonight." Since Are You Lonesome was a vaudeville hit in 1927, that should set a record for how long a question can go unanswered in pop music.

One reason why heavy revolvers have continued to see use is because they provide better hand to hand capability if it comes to that. Handguns are basically swords with extra long reach. In close, auto-loaders can be disabled by proximity. Revolvers can as well, depending on the lock, but all of them will fire if the cylinder is unimpeded and they are pressed up against someone.
The wounds from that are also horrific. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

But the teacher in question is trying to be the good guy despite the unwanted crush from his young student. Depeche Mode was maybe too honest about being rock stars.

Posted by: Orson at November 20, 2024 11:45 PM (dIske) "Expert" Allan Lichtman Melts Down In Argument With Master Debater Cenk Uygur (???), Declares That Anyone Saying He's Wrong Is Commiting "A Blasphemy Against Me"Allen Lichtman, like so many other pretenders in the media sphere, is a literal zero. He is a nobody, a nothing, a nil. You only know who he is because every four years, the media trots him out as part of their efforts to fill up as many minutes as possible with nonsense. You've seen him -- he's the guy with the "13 keys" for predicting, or just guessing, the outcome of presidential elections. (He's such an incredible scholar that you haven't heard of him in any other context.) He claims something like his 13 keys have "predicted" the winner in all but one of the last nine presidential elections. Some might say that sounds like it's not much of a better record than most people would achieve through simple guessing, especially given that most presidential contests are not close and can easily be predicted by people who do not possess the awesome power of The Keys. But those people are Blasphemers, as we'll soon find out. Before Biden dropped out, this Savant claimed his "keys" predicted a Biden win, so Democrats must stick with Biden. The keys guaranteed his re-election! Mind you, this was at a time when we now know that Biden's internal polling showed him losing 400 electoral votes to Trump. After Biden dropped out, he guaranteed that Kamala would win. His Keys proclaimed her victory! But some other people looked at his stupid "keys" and found that, first of all, they were largely about highly subjective things like whether the short-term economy and the long-term economy were positive for the incumbent or not. Despite that the fact that America is in the grips of high inflation (short term) and on the edge of a recession (long term), Lichtman gave these two "keys" to Kamala Harris. Nate Silver said, "Wait a minute, that doesn't seem right to me." Lichtmann blasted him as a know-nothing punk who just didn't know how to properly work the Magic Keys."My prediction for this presidential election was wrong. I own up to it right now. I am taking time off today." "My aim is to assess why the keys were wrong and what we can learn from this era and what the election means for the future of our country going forward."That lasted about 48 hours. Within 48 hours, he'd figured out the problem: The Keys were right. They'd always been right. It was the voters who were wrong. Now back from his intense 48 hour period of reflection and re-analysis, Lichtman has been spamming out excuses about why his incredible, magical, fantastical keys completely got the winner wrong. (Although Nate Silver would say that actually the keys pointed to a Trump win, but Lichtmann is such a hyperpartisan he wrongly assigned keys to get the outcome he wanted.) His favorite excuse is... wait for it... "Misinformation." You see, his Keys totally overlooked the possibility that the Democrat's opponent might get to speak during this election cycle, and say things that hyperpartisans like Lichtman don't think is true. Which is what he means by "misinformation." His keys work GREAT unless a Republican is allowed to be heard! If that happen, the Keys are of no use whatseover!

The keys weren't wrong, he just abused them. Ace already pointed out that two keys concerning the economy pointed to Kamala, when obviously the opposite was true. There is also a key regarding "No serious primary contest for the incumbent party nomination." He gave this point to Kamala, despite the fact there was basically a coup to get her the nomination. Looking at the keys, I can see three of them that might have leaned toward Kamala, leaving ten predicting a Trump victory.

After 2020 and 2024, both losing sides settled on cheating as the cause of their loss.
Republicans said it was vote fraud in 2020. And they set about cleaning up elections. In 2024, Democrats are saying it's because Republicans cheated by 1) spreading lies and 2) not letting Democrats get their message out. This is fantastic. Because it means they absolutely are not going to do anything to fix why they lost. In fact, they are going to do MORE of what caused them to lose. PS: Where are your 8 million missing voters?

One part of this you have to remember - Lichtmann and a bunch of other outer party types expected the late night ballot drops for Kamala at the level of at 2020 at least and that didn't happen.
It looks like Harris got only slightly more then say Obama got in terms of fraud. Posted by: 18-1 at November 20, 2024 06:32 PM (oZhjI) 78

Fetterman is a standard current day Dem where it matters, voting (sure, he won't go for my buddy Chris's idiotic offensive weapons ban for Israel, but that's a lonely bright spot). He even ranted some stupid standard idiotic s**t just the other day, read it online, can't recall where or what the topic was. But as dumb and destructive as anything you'd get from an AOC or Blumenthal.

it's entirely about who he perceives is "loyal."

The left claiming the economy was good during the last 4 years of recession was one of the odder things I've seen.
And I remember talking to lefty LIVs that would repeat what the FNM told them and then ask how they personally were doing and the answer was always the same - inflation is killing my budget, I can't afford to do the things I used to be able to, and retirement is now a dream that isn't going to happen.

Really? I am unclear on the situation in several key states that looked the stinkiest.

>>>Courtesy Raymond Chandler. The original book is... meh, with a decent plot, and Billy Wilder tells a HILARIOUS but sad story about the insane genius of Chandler rewriting the script on the fly while trying to hide his drinking.
yeah. I didn't know he was hiding it. Or maybe it was when he was rewriting the Blue Max. He told the producer, I cannot write this sober in 12 days, but I can write it drunk in 12 days. He had the studio pick him up every morning at 7am (or whenever) after he'd already downed like a half a pint of whisky, then he'd have another pint enroute, then remain drunk all day writing until 11 pm or whenever, at which point he'd be driven home as he continued drinking. He was a real mess. I've mentioned Ian Fleming's interview him on the BBC. I thought Ian Fleming was a drunk but boy howdy, Fleming seems sober as a judge compared to Chandler.

I didn't know he was hiding it. Or maybe it was when he was rewriting the Blue Max. He told the producer, I cannot write this sober in 12 days, but I can write it drunk in 12 days.
- In the book, The Blue Max, Stachel's major malfunction was that he was an alcoholic. I guess Chandler missed that part. Also, Stachel survived the war, it was Hauptmann Heidemann who took the death dive. There was a sequel concerning Stachel leading up to WWII. In my humble opinion, the book was better.

Like Grump said, Bambi won re-election with almost all the long-term indicators in the wrong position. Employment, growth, job approval, right track/wrong track. And of course he was the only incumbent re-elected with fewer votes, ever. But an unbelievably irresponsible, dumbed down electorate, and a horrible opponent, could explain those anomalies. I guess.

"act of blasphemy" sounds like he thinks he is a god.
But the definition might leave a little room for his statement, if he really was an "established convention" (but he is not even that). blasphemy Noun 1. An act of irreverence or contempt toward a god or toward something considered sacred; an impious act, utterance, view, etc. That imam said that drawing the prophet Muhammad is a form of blasphemy. 2. (by extension) An act of irreverence towards anything considered inviolable; the act of disregarding a convention.

“Eight years ago, I was too young to feel the full force of Hillary Clinton’s loss. Now at 16, I’ve had the wind knocked out of me. On that Wednesday, I was flush with anger — but it was diluted by an even stronger feeling: defeat. I saw it in the eyes of women in my subway car that morning. I saw it in the barista at the coffee shop on the corner, the female security guard at my school and in the face of my history teacher.”
- Mrs. Wrecks hasn't said a dozen words to me since the election, I think because Empty Pantsuit lost. I tried talking to her but won't do that again for the same reason I won't kick a tiger in the balls. Today my daughter, also a Kamala supporter but not crazy, confirmed that's what Mrs. Wrecks is depressed /mad about.

This is why the Founding Fathers told them to GFY and started their own country.
ESAD, UK. You're f*cked anyway. LOLGF. They've always been like this. Always. They are a nation of pricks. Back in the day - part of the grievances was a crown stamp on every individual sheet of paper. Folks - it wasn't about the tax. It was about the Brits being able to control every fucking sheet of paper ... so they could control what was printed on it. I get it - it seems "cool" that you can go across the Atlantic and they all speak a similar language. But show me, one time, where the Brits were not either trying to keep us a colony - or trying to use whatever means to control our military for their ends.

"I still can’t figure out why they stopped the cheat. I know they’re still cheating down ballot but it seemed they threw in the town really early."
idk, but Trump may have won beyond the cheat. I do think we lost Lake in AZ, and probably a senator in WI, maybe MI and now still they party on in PA. But also, there was division on their side, and Kamala was so terrible, perhaps some feared the outcome of laying their lives on the line for committing felonies on behalf of candidates that hated them? Or maybe a lot of the Dem cheaters were sick of dealing with violent illegals? Posted by: illiniwek at November 20, 2024 06:59 PM (Cus5s) 246

If you use the final opinion polling, Gallup (until it quit polling since 2012), It picked Reagan over Carter 47-44 1980, Reagan over Mondale in 84--59 to 41, Bush 56-44 over Dukakis in 1988, Clinton 49-37 (Clinton came down in real result and Perot went up, Gallup nailed Bush votes), Clinton in 1996, 52-41 percent, 2000 Bush over Gore 48-46 (before release of DWI story), 2004- Bush 49-Kerry 49. 2008, 53 Obama--42 McCain, 2012, Obama 49, Romney 48.
Polling had its first miss (without Gallup) 2016--Trump 42, Killary 48. Biden 51 to Trump's 44 percent in 2020, and Polling in 2024 leaned toward slightly toward Kamala at .1 percent aka .001 in the RCP poll. So overall, just taking the Gallup poll winner, it correctly predicted the winner from 1936-2012 with only two misses--1948 and 1960 (both in October). 2016, national polling predicted Trump to lose the popular vote but by more than he actually did. 2020, curiously, the polling and Biden's actual percentage matched. 2024, again, national polling miss as Trump won both the electoral and popular vote this election.

Poll watchers wouldn't be relevant in all mail-in states, or even states with meaningful mail-in voting. Poll watchers wouldn't explain 2024.

Clark County NV actually edged out long-reigning Wayne County MI in that department - expelling observers, switching off signature-matching, etc. Absurd. Like an election in Belarus or Venezuela.

The point of the keys is they are supposed to override the "noise". They are the fundamentals upon which the race is decided. Nothing else matters, hence the word "key".
If the keys are derailed so easily, then they predict...nothing.

282 Reagan was wrong about that, there's got to be a place to have people housed that are a danger to themselves and others.
He had no choice, courts ruled that it was a human rights violation to put people in asylums against their will. And, I guess I have to agree, but there needs to be SOMETHING we can do to get the really messed up people off the streets. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor ======= Scotus simply required more due process in Jackson v. Indiana but it raised the burden of proof to clear and convincing (sorta kinda similar in civil actions to beyond a reasonable doubt) for confinement. O'Connor v. Donaldson in 1975 is what did real damage, It stated, "A finding of mental illness alone is not sufficient grounds for confining a person against their will. They must be found to be a danger to others or incapable of surviving safely without institutional care." That can be done but it takes an awful lot of documentation. Clayton Cramer of 2A fame, wrote a book about how the laws affected a sibling with schizophrenia and how agencies compounded the problem via extreme risk aversion to do what they could do quite easily even with Scotus decisions.

>> Peggy Noonan is another such type.
It's a class thing with a lot of them, and that may be the biggest factor. Trump is just icky, low brow, not their sort of person. I remember Rush Limbaugh (pbuh) talking about meeting Peggy Noonan for the first time. It was some Buckley thing, IIRC. She said, "Oh, you're the one that all the truck drivers listen to, right?" And I think that was the same party where he mentioned that Buckley didn't know what a Diet Coke was. Buckley's wife did, though and got Rush his requested drink.

>>I've heard that Cleta Mitchell flooded every polling place with a ton of Republican poll watchers and there was too much heat to cheat.
Lara Trump and Whatley were saying pretty much since the day they were appointed at the RNC their number 1 goal was election integrity and they were going to flood every swing state with hundreds of lawyers and poll watchers. They started filing lawsuits early and often every time a Democrat even hinted at going off the reservation. That's why I was pretty confident Trump was going to win. Biden only "won' in 2020 because massive cheating was allowed and the RNC did squat. Not having a lockdown with millions of mail in ballots everywhere helped was a big deal but having a team that actually fought was the key in my opinion.

Yeah that's my concern. Guess exactly how Nancy Pelosi would use a law that let them commit insane people against their will. Elon Musk? Must have gone crazy. We need to commit him and put his finances under control of the state. Donald Trump? Obviously insane, we can't let him be on the streets.

Cramer's book length treatment is here:
My Brother Ron: A Personal and Social History of the Deinstitutionalization of the Mentally Ill" "My Brother Ron is both the story of my older brother's descent into madness, and a history of how and why the United States (and eventually, most other Western countries) abandoned the old system of caring for the severely mentally ill, leading to widespread homelessness, increases in violence, and the general degradation of urban life." Available still on Amazon. A lot of his discussion on the 2012 book was housed at his blog at the time but his webpage is vastly trimmed down from what it was due to his health problems.

I'm trying to remember that story Rush told about Buckley and the Diet Coke. He was at Buckley's spread for some to-do, and Buckley asks him what will have to drink. Rush says, oh a diet Coke. Buckley gives him a strange look. Rush says he realizes Buckley has no idea what a diet Coke is. He shuffles off to the bar and comes back and hands Rush something in a glass. Rush smells it, WTF? and takes a sip. Not a diet Coke. He says then Buckley's wife comes over, she'd heard the whole thing, gives Buckley a "You idiot!" look and then gets Rush his Coke.

Ok not a great example. Disagree. Costner was awful but Snape's Sheriff was fantastic. Manic and malevolent.

I can't believe they keep trying to flog that worthless bill, or to claim that Trump was the one who killed it. He didn't do it, WE DID. We all remember that Mitch McConnel's Senate was all set to pass it, after that idiot Lankford "negotiated" it, and then all of us started to read what was in it and blew up! And then every GOP Senator started to realized none of us were going to go for that shit sandwich, which was going to allow 5,000 immigrants a day to come across, and then Speaker Johnson said the House wouldn't even hold a vote, and then McConnell and his minions realized there was no point falling on this sword, and THEN Trump agreed with us at the last minute, and it died.
And I'm glad that Trump was on the right side, but he had nothing at all to do with how things played out. Posted by: Tom Servo at November 20, 2024 05:14 PM (wyMQY) 25

It is important to note that all this vitriol we're hearing from Republicans and President-elect Trump regarding the Biden administration's policies on illegal immigration, it's important to note that President Trump did force Republicans to essentially tank a bipartisan border security bill that both sides of the aisle said would've essentially addressed border security and immigration issues.
++++ Sure, sure. Hey, ABC? You can call that steaming pile of excrescence a "border security bill" until you're blue in the face if you want to. It won't make it so. That bill was bullshit, designed to install and make permanent an open southern border by law, reducing any Dread Orange Man's ability to take executive action on the border. It was a con, and not even a very good one. But go ahead. Keep fuckin' that chicken. Only other chicken-fuckers are listening.

I'm not sure when it started but it seems over the last decade or so the left has adopted the tactic of claiming "there is no evidence for XYZ" when there is absolutely clear evidence of XYZ as a form or argument. Instead they just invent "their truth" and try to make you argue on their terms not reality. It's not just childish its idiotic and makes it impossible to reason with them.
There's tons of proof that illegals are committing all types of violent crime all over the country. And anyone who actually read the key parts of that bill knows it would not have done squat to stop illegals, in fact it would have given them legal cover. And either way it would have had no effect on an illegal who Biden allowed into the country and roam free for years before the bill was even brought up. Just lies on top of lies.

A similar problem that I've noticed in the last few years is when they make a vague claim about something being true or proven. If you ask them for specifics, they'll tell you to Google it. It's infuriating because you know they're almost certainly either claiming something that has no proof, wildly exaggerating something that has limited proof, or repeating something that has been disproven. But you can't address specifics because they won't give you enough information to be able to address their non-specific claim. Posted by: bonhomme at November 20, 2024 05:31 PM (Odg76) 103

“ This dog claims that there's "no clear link between immigration and violent crime””
When leftwing DEI shitpiss toads make vague, lawyerly-worded statements like “no clear link between” certain events, you can bet your last dollar there’s in fact a very clear link. Posted by: Elric Blade at November 20, 2024 05:16 PM (nAV50) Who said the reason for immigration law was "violent crime"? nobody. Every illegal immigrant is a criminal, because not following immigration law is a crime. Every single one. And even those who do no additional crimes - like work below minimum wages because they can be blackmailed are taking jobs and resources from citizens.

I'm not sure when it started but it seems over the last decade or so the left has adopted the tactic of claiming "there is no evidence for XYZ" when there is absolutely clear evidence of XYZ as a form or argument. Instead they just invent "their truth" and try to make you argue on their terms not reality. It's not just childish its idiotic and makes it impossible to reason with them.

I'm not sure when it started but it seems over the last decade or so the left has adopted the tactic of claiming "there is no evidence for XYZ" when there is absolutely clear evidence of XYZ as a form or argument.
--- I'll give you an exact date when it happened. Bill Clinton: "There is not a single, solitary thread of evidence I had sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky."

I couldn't murder someone but these animals have no conscience and can't seem to understand that they are killing a human being. Maybe they have no comprehension of humanity, maybe they don't care. They don't have any conscience or remorse for what they did. That makes the death penalty not inhumane to them. It's just part of life. They show no emotion, they're lives mean nothing, so no ones life means anything.

Posted by: pawn ===== Not for divine justice which is the Lord's alone but society as exercised through the State through the commandment's proper wording to execute killers and others. Notice that even Paul and his various comrades did not so much decry stoning for heretics. They just denied being one and were as a consequence protected by the Lord. Humans are fallible and thus the state which is composed of humans is fallible. That does not mean that it is 'murder'. BTW, most of the Innocence project focuses on cases where you have two collaborators or more in a murder. Each blaming the other one. There is really no need for that distinction which is why quite a few states treat each person involved in the crime, the same as a trigger puller. That causes people like the getaway driver to quickly confess and turn state's evidence which is one of the reasons it is useful. Posted by: whig at November 20, 2024 05:54 PM (ctrM5) 230

Posted by: whig On that note, Susan Smith was denied parole today which I am thankful for. In 1995 she was the monster that strapped her two small boys in the back of her car and then let the car reverse in to a lake drowning them. She claimed a black guy had carjacked her car with the kids for 9 days until she confessed. Reason? Although married, she wanted to be with the man she was having an affair with but he didn't want kids. So, she got rid of them. She's been busy in prison with having sex with 4 guards, drugs, and alcohol. She's where she needs to be and maybe if she asks for forgiveness in this lifetime, God will.

So to justify someone's death at the hand of another requires a Bureaucracy? This is why some people oppose the death penalty.
Posted by: pawn ===== Yes because no man is fit to be judge of their own actions. By a process, even in ancient Israel among other places, only self defense in the heat of the moment allowed someone to permissibly kill another. Want to dig it up at Avalon project, Hammurabi's Code has mention of it. That is one of the reasons that juries are charged with deciding death penalty imposition now rather than judges. 12 > 1.

One reason more and more people are getting on the Trump bandwagon is his habit of expressing ideas in a pithy manner.

The history of the law of the land and due process under the law from the Magna Carta is also apropos.
Anti death penalty types come from two sources--one is based loosely on interpreting the Bible as Thou shalt not murder including the death penalty (presumably that would also make self defense, abortion, and killing someone in war impermissible as well but most people are not that consistent). The other type fear the state and do not want even a jury of their peers and a judge to put them to death because (using a vastly distorted quote by Blackstone) "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer." But, this avoids the moral question given that it costs somewhere up to 100k per year to house a killer and that money could be spent far better by taxpayers for other beneficial things. That also ignores the tendency of killers killing others, raping others in prison, and so on, as after the first one, the rest are free. Posted by: whig at November 20, 2024 06:11 PM (ctrM5) 320
President Trump did force Republicans to essentially tank a bipartisan border security bill that both sides of the aisle said would've essentially addressed border security and immigration issues.

I have heard these media scum repeat "Trump told the Republicans not to pass the border bill" ad nauseam, and therefore all of these illegals entering the country are Trumps fault.

And it is an attack on the dignity and value of human life. I know, I know that sounds contradictory but bear with me. The reason we have the death penalty in the Old Testament is pretty clearly stated several times: because human beings are made in the image of God and are innately valuable and worthy. Superior to all other life forms on earth, possibly all of creation. When you take a human life, that's not just a brutal evil, but it is an attack on the value of humanity and its reflection of God's glory and value. That must be paid for. In blood.

That is also why generally the West excludes those below 70 iq and those who are so mentally ill that they cannot control their actions (M'Naughton test) which the defendant has to prove in court. Ditto for self defense cases, one has to admit in to the police or even in open court that they killed someone deliberately but they did it to save themselves or others from immediate threat from the deceased likely to cause their own death or serious injury. Note that people in the armed forces have to kill as much to preserve their own life as to win a war as do police officers from time to time for public safety. So apples and oranges.

Posted by: deadrody at November 20, 2024 09:58 PM (vgB0v) NYT "Fact"-Check of RFKJr.s Complaint That the US Version of Froot Loops Contains Chemicals Not Present in Foreign Versions: The Ingredients List Are "Roughly" the Same (Except for All the Artficial Chemicals That RFKJr. Specifically Objects To)Imma coin a new term for these false "fact" checks: Fake checks. This is a few days old. But let's cover it now, because now Joe Rogan is talking about it, too.Is that all? According to a statement given to the Washington Post by Kennedy spokesperson, Stefanie Spear, Kennedy was referring to the differences in food dyes in the American and Canadian versions of the cereal. "We can all unify behind the goal of making American food the healthiest and most nutritious in the world," Spear said in her statement. The NYT's strange fact-check, which seemed to prove rather than disprove Kennedy's point about artificial ingredients being included in the U.S. version of the cereal, drew critics to mock the paper.Okay that's a parody list of ingredients but it's True In Spirit.
Joe Rogan ERUPTS on The New York Times for "fack-checking" RFK Jr. on toxic food ingredients while simultaneously proving him right. "That made my brain hurt just reading it." The "fact-check" in question all started when The New York Times claimed RFK Jr. was "wrong" about differences in Froot Loops' ingredients between Canada and the United States. However, their own reporting admitted that the U.S. version contains harmful chemicals like Red Dye 40, Yellow 5, Blue 1, and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), while the Canadian version uses "natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots." "So they're literally saying he was wrong, but he was right," Rogan scoffed. "That is the f--king dangerous chemicals banned in Canada that we're trying to get rid of in America!" Rogan continued to question what possible motivation the The New York Times could have to "fact-check" RFK Jr.'s efforts to remove toxic ingredients from the food supply. "Like, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to remove all leftover credibility? Are you trying to k*ll it all?" Rogan asked. "Are you secretly working for the Chinese? Like, what are you doing?" Rogan's guest, Jimmy Corsetti, concluded, "It's probably backed by Monsanto or something."

Honestly I think the dread dangers of certain chemicals in food are overstated, to put it mildly, but I am all for cutting back on the vast levels of preservatives, seed oils, soy, and sugar in our foods.

To be fair, there re a lot of garbage ingredients in European foods as well -- maybe different from US garbage ingredients, or labelled differently, but nearly as bad as here.
FOr example, in the UK, nearly every drink now has heinous and horrible-tasting artificial sweeteners, due to a nationwide "sugar ban" (massive tax, actually). EU products won[t event ell you the names of the ingredients, but instead just list their code numbers, which generally start with an "E" ("Wheat, butter, E465, E781, E213...") You literally have n idea what any of it even is, unless you look it up online, only to discover that E465 is some unpronouncable chemical like di-hydroxymethyltartratize-4-alphyl-alkinoid" or some shit.

Half a dozen people sitting in the front of the store waiting for one of the 8 electric fat carts they have and the lady at the door was telling them they would have to wait and they were not happy. Huge fat people were complaining because they had to wait for one of the carts to spend their ebt card money because they are so fat they can't walk 20 feet without blowing a lung.

The same government that is constantly banning things it (deceitfully) claims are harmful -- or cause cancer or shrivel your balls or turn you into Brian Stelter -- is the same one that's fighting to keep more poisonous and dangerous food dyes in kids' food.

Yeah its pretty close to the same, except now there's more corn syrup and soy in our foods. More seed oils. Personally I doubt the seed oils are as awful as being portrayed, but its over done. Try being someone who is extremely sensitive to sugar in your diet. Like more than 5 grams of sugars in a meal is too much. Its sheer hell shopping, sugar is in everything. And its hidden, they have like 18 varieties of sugar they put in stuff, adding it up more and more and more until its nasty. Who the hell needs sugar in mayonnaise? Why are you adding sugar to tomato sauce?? Why are you sneaking it into everything? Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at November 20, 2024 04:13 PM (RsS92) 61

Tracy Beanz has a good thread about ICAN suing the CDC to force them to either prove their claim that vaccines DO NOT CAUSE autism or stop claiming it.
Initially, ICAN submitted a FOIA to disclose all of the studies relied on to come to the conclusion that several specific vaccines do not cause autism. CDC failed to respond. ICAN sued them. CDC provided studies. All but one was completely non-responsive to the question. The one that studied DTaP in babies actually found an association between DTaP and autism. Associations are not proof of causation, but that's not the assignment. The assignment is to prove the claim they boldly make on the website that vaccines do not cause autism. The court forced CDC to remove the language from their website. BUT, and this part is amazing, a week later NewsGuard started harassing the CDC to put back the language. CDC then ADDED BACK the language the court told them to remove. http://tiny.cc/xvdwzz Posted by: bonhomme at November 20, 2024 04:17 PM (Odg76) 91

this is a misunderstanding. Almost all sweet things have both sucrose "cane sugar" and fructose "fruit sugar." (and sometimes lactose or galactose, in dairy products) Cane contains both, fruit contains both. These are poorly-chosen names which have misled the public for a hundred years. It's just not true that fruits contain fruit sugar. They contain an almost perfect 50/50 blend of both fructose and sucrose. Google's AI: Sugars in Fruits and Vegetables In fact, almost all fruits and vegetables naturally contain sucrose, as well as glucose and fructose, in varying amounts. For example, bananas, sweet peas and peaches contain primarily sucrose, whereas glucose and fructose are the main sugars in pears and tomatoes.

Amen. A-fucking-men. That's exactly where I am on this. So "purple #5", may or may not be bad. Don't really know. It obviously doesn't kill you instantly, that would be obvious. But, what are the long term effects? Don't know that either, cause it takes a long time to figure that out. There is no RDA for "Purple #5". Don't need it, doesn't do any good.

Brown sugar is nothing more than white cane sugar and molasses.
Posted by: rickb223 I toured a cane sugar plant years ago. They bring in the raw sugar and leave it on the floor in the warehouse. Then, they use front loaders to put it into a boil pot, and then pipe it into a charcoal tower to filter using gravity. As the sugar percolates through the tower, it becomes lighter in color as the melted roaches are filtered out. Brown sugar is the least filtered.

Yeah. And if childhood vaccines caused autism, we'd all be autistic.
Let me say up front: I don't think vaccines cause autism. I don't see any evidence of this. But people have got the science of this all wrong. Vaccines could cause autism without everyone being autistic. Same way that not all smokers get lung cancer. That's just how elevated risk plays out. There's few things that always cause "x" harm. No study has found a correlation between autism and vaccines to date. But that's somewhat less meaningful than people think. The absence of a link isn't really the same thing as disproof of a link (which is why scientific studies that fail to find a correlation always say that, rather than saying they disproved a correlation). HRT and breast cancer is a good example. Studies showed no correlation between the two for years. Good studies. Then a very big study did show one. That's not causation in and of itself. My point is only that studies can fail to detect a correlation for a variety of reasons, until one day they do. Posted by: Are we buying Greenland or not? at November 20, 2024 04:34 PM (zuGjS) 225

It's all about the labellng. Honest and revelatory labeling allows consumers to make their choiecs.
Posted by: zombie ====== I would tend to agree except basically it is an information problem. Company A wants to add some chemical to their food but conducts the food safety tests themselves and hands it off to the FDA who has coincidentally people who just left Company A to work in government for a stint before going back. Back when I did empirical work, the last stuff I did was event count history models for sorting out causal relationships of relatively rare events over time. And various versions of time series analysis. Simply put, many effects only show up when lagged against the primary variable of interest. In other words, they have a delayed reaction and this is particularly true when dealing with medical science. Like social science, medical science relies on either experimental/control group a/b using small numbers in those tests, animal test analogues, or they rely on large statistical studies including self reporting by participants. Medical research is as plagued as social science research with bad data and less than optimal research design models. Posted by: whig at November 20, 2024 04:36 PM (ctrM5) 241

In the last week. Yes, parents are older. And yes, the idea of "Little Johnny is SPECIAL rather than just needed an ass whipping" is also strong. But come on. Look at a history book.

So has the average age of parents. The age of the sperm seems to be a factor, according to one study I saw. Ask yourself this: When was the last time you saw a kid genuinely "on the spectrum" with teenage parents?
Posted by: pookysgirl -- I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that study was designed and pursued specifically hoping to avoid the very obvious. Men can reproduce until they die. While there might be some change in quality - and certainly amount - over the life of a male, I seriously doubt the quality of sperm degrades significantly enough to affect reproduction to any great degree, unlike the biological clock of the mother. You'll notice there are not multi-trillion dollar industries attempting to convince men to freeze their sperm. There's a good reason for that.

A couple of days after the shot he got an extremely high fever, passed out with a seizure and almost died. He basically went back to square one in development but then had autistic behaviors (echolalia, stimmy, etc) as he grew up. Did the vaccine cause the autism? Well I'm 100% certain if he didn't get the shot he wouldn't have had the fever. I'm 99% certain the fever and resulting seizure messed up the neural pathways in his brain. Otherwise why would he have gone back to square one in development? We have 4 kids and he was the only one that had that issue. So obviously there are cofactors involved. The first place I would look is manufacturing variances in the MMR vaccine. The second place is probably genetic variations. Posted by: MAGA_Ken at November 20, 2024 04:43 PM (yOVyt) 298

>>> I'm pretty sure sugar existed 100 years ago.
I'll have to check on that. Yeah checks out. So you should do some reading about this. It is interesting, and the facts will serve better than uninformed ideological priors. Sugar used to be a very expensive commodity, because it was only grown in the tropics or subtropics. During the Napoleonic wars, when France was surrounded and embargoed, Napoleon paid chemists to figure out how to turn beet sugar into something like table sugar. This worked, and over the next hundred years sugar went from something that the aristocracy enjoyed, and commoners only had occasionally, to something so plentiful it was poured into everything. It used to be that poor people had no cavities, and rich people had lots of cavities. Because poor people could not afford sugar. Over the course of the 20th century people went from eating very little sugar to eating 60-80 pounds of it per year. So yes, people's sugar consumption went up about 20x over the course of a century. A century in which people got fatter and fatter, and had more and more heart disease. Posted by: ace at November 20, 2024 04:44 PM (KRtlO) 306

or even with the explosion of TOOTH DECAY that followed after Americans began eating ten times the amount of sugar they used to.
Posted by: ace Most interesting fact I've learned this century: Science has told us for hundreds of years that the average internal body temperature of a healthy adult human in 98.6 degree Fahrenheit. And that seemed to be true...until recently. Little reported anywhere is the growing "mystery" that in hospitals and doctors' offices around the world, healthy people are increasingly clocking in with 98.0 or 97.5 or even 97. Consistently. Cross-checking with different thermometers doesn't fix the "problem." A recent hypothesis to explain the issue is now gaining growing acceptance as the most likely explanation: Better dental health, globally. Since the dawn of the agricultural era, people have begun eating sugars, and tooth decay and gingivitis skyrocketed. For 5,000 years the AVERAGE human has has some kind of dental/gum issue. This inflammation is actually a minor infection. Infections cause a temperature rise. Humankind has had a "fever" for millennia. Not any more. 97.5 is our real healthy temperature.

Here's my probably wrong theory on the increased number of autism...along with other issues, too much screen time for babies. Our pediatrician told us only 1 hour of tv for our sons once they were toddling around the playroom.
Now there are videos in ninny vans (what my son called them) to keep the little ones quiet for brief trips. My sons, tethered to car seats from birth, had to deal with the sometimes 13hr trips to my parent's with either small toys, books I'd present during cranky times from under my seat, and singing to rock songs. Or the blessed nap. Now they have ipads. At least our grands have limited time. I also don't believe in drugging the little kids unless it does help them from head banging or whatever. Changing their diets could help first. Puff up with pride and releases toxic flatulence: I never fed my kids McDonald's for dinner. Not that I'd win a prize as I was also working a bit and their father was out of town on business. There were times I broke down and fed the chimps Hamburger Helper. I am thankful I never had to deal with this, as pretty much everyone, even adults, are on the spectrum if you take the little tests online.

They're not water soluble. THis is a factor.

292 Another point --
The USA has shitified everything. I see none of that in Japan. I think a big reason is that Japan is full of Japanese, while the USA is filled with 3rd worlders who are have no standard of quality. In Japan, the market is for people who grew up with the product and do not want changing recipes, cheaper ingredients, etc. Their model is quality and innovation. But USA companies have decided that their model is growth, and the "newcomers" fill that model. Posted by: Gentlemen ------ Japan has its own societal problems, even more than us, they are failing to have kids and aging rapidly as a society. S. Korea is following that path.

________________ Where to start on this one? Urine is largely composed of urea, a conjugate of two molecules of ammonia with one molecule of carbon dioxide. So ... no free ammonia, which should have been obvious, since urine doesn't smell of ammonia until bacterial action attacks the urea. Many Brits have horrible teeth because a lot of them disdain brushing their teeth, much less flossing them, and never go to the dentist to get their teeth cleaned. Nothing to do with urine.

I actually would weep at times thinking he was doomed. However, after 2nd grade he caught up. It was always left to us for the first two years to advance him or not..as academically he did well. He was also the tallest kid in his class. I did not have the heart to keep him back in kindergarten because he could not skip. I did right, but was put through some bit of hell in worrying.

Aside from the fun of being mildly contrarian, I'd be perfectly happy to get most of the added chemicals out of processed food.
Yes, even the aniline dyes. It's just... most of those chemicals were put there for specific reasons, and most of those reasons are not because the food industry is a bunch of moustache-twirling villains. Some of it is because it was safer than what they'd been putting in previously, some of it was to save money, some of it was to keep the food safe to eat for longer than they'd been able to before, some of it is solutions to problems caused by government nutritional requirements. And yes, some of it is to make the stuff so darn tasty that you eat way too much of it and have to buy more. So there's no reason to not look at it and ask "Do we really need this any more? Do the benefits still outweigh he risks?" But going around saying "Chemical Bad!" like some soy-based anti-oil activist isn't the way to go.

I appreciate what RFK is trying to do. But I do think an incremental approach would work better. (Taking after you, proggies.) If you give poor people lots of free food, at school and on EBT cards, they will get fat and eat crap. Just eliminate all the free junk at school and stop the use of EBT to buy sodas and you will be making some real progress. Posted by: PJ at November 20, 2024 05:09 PM (RRCAT) 496

Early Europeans in Africa noticed how nice African teeth were compared to their snaggly toofs. The big difference in diet was Euros eating bread while Africans eating protein and vegetables. A heavy bread diet will rot your teeth very quickly.
Posted by: Pudinhead at November 20, 2024 04:58 PM (jFCkp) Part of that is just eating tougher or harder textured foods- raw roots, vegetables, tough meat, etc. That causes you to develop a broader palate when growing. Broader palate = more room for teeth to erupt in straight On the other hand, children eating a soft diet tend to have narrower palates. Narrower palate = crowded space = crowder teeth. That's a big part of it and has zippo to do with sugar. Though, of course, sugar in the diet can lead to cavities. Posted by: naturalfake at November 20, 2024 05:10 PM (eDfFs) 503

The lowered puberty-arrival for the average girl is easily explained through evolutionary factors:
Puberty doesn't hit at the same time for everyone -- it's in a range. In the past, girls who hit puberty earlier tended to have sex earlier, and stupid sex (i.e. unprotected) more often. The younger a girl is, the more naive she is, the less experienced, the less educated, the more childish, etc. - -which leads to being taken advantage of and acting on impulse more frequently. "Early onset puberty = early and more frequent unprotected sexual activity" has been proven conclusively. And the more sex a demographic has, the more pregnancies it has. Some get aborted, but not all. So: girls who hit puberty earlier tend to have more babies. Also proven statistically. And those babies? They all inherit their mothers' tendency to hit puberty earlier. So the next generation, population-wide, has more kids with the early-puberty gene. Multiply that by a hundred generations and -- boom -- the average age of puberty overall drops. That's how evolution works. Posted by: zombie at November 20, 2024 05:13 PM (pMi6S) 510
I am a skeptic on the dental health thing affecting temperature.
Lots of people had very few cavities in the past -- many rural people, and 3rd world countries had very low sugar diets. Yes, I take it as a given that sugar is main cause of most tooth issues. I have been to Africa and Asia and seen people with perfect teeth well into old age. No dentists, but also no sugar. (and no stone milled grains) If it was dental, then it would not have been universal. Also we do not measure temperature with high accuracy due to where we measure (not core inside temp) and instruments.

Since my mother taught me to read in self defense years earlier the teacher let me do 10x the number because I could. Spelling bees used to be girls vs boys and there would be me and another guy versus 80 percent of the girls. Got me some street cred with the other boys.

Where to start on this one?
Urine is largely composed of urea, a conjugate of two molecules of ammonia with one molecule of carbon dioxide. So ... no free ammonia, which should have been obvious, since urine doesn't smell of ammonia until bacterial action attacks the urea. Many Brits have horrible teeth because a lot of them disdain brushing their teeth, much less flossing them, and never go to the dentist to get their teeth cleaned. Nothing to do with urine. Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at November 20, 2024 05:04 PM (YqDXo) Well in the Roman days and later, Tanners used urine to work pelts and possibly for bleaching. They used to get it free in the city, if they carted it off from the public restrooms.

I completely support validating the safety of the ingredients in food.
What I do not support is shifting gears from taking on Big Pharma and their toxic injections that are mandated for consumption, cause instant harm to many Americans, cause further long-term harm to many Americans, in favor of going after trace toxins that might not even be damaging to humans in the levels consumed, are voluntarily purchased and consumed, and even if they are toxic, take decades to cause their harm. RFK Jr. had value when he was planning to take on the Covid-19 disaster, particularly the mRNA injections.

Posted by: MarineVet at November 20, 2024 07:11 PM (B9VxK) Speaker Johnson Announces: All Women's Bathrooms and Changing Areas Are Reserved for Biological Women OnlyGood. Enough of this bullshit already. House Speaker Mike Johnson announced Wednesday his intention to ban biological males who identify as transgender women from using women's bathrooms and locker rooms on Capitol Hill. "All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings -- such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms -- are reserved for individuals of that biological sex," Johnson said in a statement. "It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol. Women deserve women's only spaces." The move comes as Representative Nancy Mace (R., S.C.) pushes to include in the upcoming House rules package a measure to prevent incoming transgender representative Sarah McBride (D., Del.), formerly known as Tim McBride, from using women's facilities. McBride is the first transgender-identifying lawmaker elected to Congress.The Speaker has the "general control" over the House's physical facilities. Tim Miller is a supergay liberal who writes for the "conservative" Bulwark.

What I like about this is, it's a continuation of "for they/them; Trump is for you" campaign. It's a fantastic wedge issue, like all social issues that all the TrueCons refuse to fight.

Palm Beach Story is also a good screwball comedy. I really like Claudette Colbert. She wasn't gorgeous, but was a fine actress. Posted by: FenelonSpoke at November 20, 2024 *** Fen, it's called You Can't Run Away From It (1956). There is a charming late '40s comedy, Without Reservations, with Claudette and John Wayne. She plays a best-selling author whose novel is about to be made into a film. She spots Wayne, a recently discharged Marine, and wants him to play the lead role -- but he's not interested. So she pursues him on a cross-country train trip. I haven't seen it in years, but I loved it as a youth.

Everyone needs to understand this:
Public transvestitism, such as went autogynophile "trans women" dress up like females in public, is a form of rape. Make ni mistake: When thee people dress as women it is a sexual fantasy for them They may not be actively masturbating in public while they are doing, but they are thinking sexual thought and feeling sexual feelings. What is euphemistically called "a thrill." And that thrill is greatly magnified when other people are forced to watch -- in other words, public transvestism is actually a form of exhibitionism. Exhibitionist get sexually aroused when unwilling people are tricked or forced into looking at them. So, fo these people, trnsvestism/exhibtonism is a sexual act. And everyone who unwillingly looks at them is part of that sexual act. Forcing people to participate in your sexual act, without their consent, is by definition rape. It may be a "mild" form of rape, but it is still rape. So all these transvestites are literally raping the American public, and no one is allowed to state this fact openly. But everyone feels it, hat queasy uncomfortable feeling that something gross and coercive is happening. Posted by: zombie at November 20, 2024 03:17 PM (pMi6S) 173

What these idiots calling for nuance on this expose is, they weren't just putting on a show like it's still 2001 and we "just need to focus on the war."
They really, truly believe that we're just one more surrender on social issues away from another brilliant Rovian 49.999%+1 victory.

In my clubbing days it wasn't unusual for women to show up in the men's bathroom when lines got too long in the women's.
I didn't care much honestly. If a guy wandered into the women's room when women were in there he would likely get a beat down from the bouncer or male patrons. Posted by: 18-1 at November 20, 2024 03:12 PM Yep. And when there were gentlemen in line (like me), we would yell up to the front, "Hey, there is a lady in line, can she cut for the next open stall?" And the dudes would let her, because we all had just walked past the massive line for the ladies restroom.

It is amazing how Rowling went from THE author for younger leftists to such a hated figure. Seriously a decade or so ago her books were the only ones the young left leaning people I knew would read.

My wacky theory for the trans movement is simply a trend in HS for attention. Like my generation's hippie clothing. While I was a hippie without much of a cause in dress, I was a classy hippie and showered, used deoderant, mascara and rocked those bell bottom jeans. And I did things my parents were not crazy about but loved me regardless.
Over ten years ago I heard from a HS teacher in FL that some girls were testing things with bisexuality. He said that one kid declared herself trans, without the parents knowing, and insisted on being called Seth vs Sarah (example). The mother then saw Seth's name on something and freaked out. To be a mother and sort of push a toddler into trans is evil. Or she did not have the gender of choice. I read about trans parents, with two trans HS children,freaking out after the election. Like I was going to put them in camps. So stupid and tarded. Back in the 2000's I read a book (and I am sorry I can't remember) about a Christian guy who saw how his gayness was not in line with the Bible. I think he later married and had kids. So some of this memory is fuzzy. (cont) due to lack of space... Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at November 20, 2024 03:20 PM (gi+MR) 202

He said that the trans movement for pastors in the pulpit would lead to trans AND accepted pedos in our time. It is demonic is my belief. In your face evil. Because, in some cases, trans are pedos and have proven this in schools and with abusing children of their own or adopted. So, while not a scholar, I believe we are seeing this, or were seeing this now.

Then don't deport them. Just put all of them in Kentucky, and put guards on all roads leading out of Kentucky. It occurs to me that one way the constitutional structure of the US could have been improved is that new laws don't go into effect if the legislators in that area vote against them. So if a left wing congress raises taxes and the red states all vote against it only those blue states get the tax increase. You would completely get "no taxation without representation". Though in Rand's case congress has no role in this outside of potentially allocating funds. There is a foreign force in the country, the executive is required to remove them by any means available.

"Mass deportations" just like "mass incarceration" is a ridiculous distortion of reality wedged into a simple expression. Each case is an individual case. The fact that there has been a 3-decade abdication of responsibility by the federal government resulting a in a yuuuge backlog of removals doesn't change this. The fact that criminal behavior is wildly, wildly disproportionately concentrated in certain demographics doesn't change this.

Posted by: zombie ---------- This comment is mostly spot on, but you go too far calling it rape. It reduces the importance of that word.

Forcing you to abide by "pronouns" is a form of slavery. Think I'm kidding, I'm not.

And the world building is so fun. My favorite is book 3 with Sirius Black. Books 4 until the end grow up with the characters and get darker, so keep that in mind. And after book 4, her fame took off, and her editors got lazy with the editing hammer since she was printing them money. Why is why they are thicker. But it teaches bravery, the importance of friendship and family, the evils of racism and fascism, the evils of a big government that will slander people to keep itself in power, good and love conquers evil, and that doing what's right even when people call you names is important.

The GOPe handled all these social issues like debates about tax increases. If the right wants a 20% rate and the left wants 25% we'll "compromise" and offer 23% and the left will agree to 24%.

Posted by: Gentlemen, time for a reckoning OK, if 'rape" is too strong a word, then let's downgrade it a bit to "sexual assault." Sexual assult does exist on a spectrum. At the most extreme is forced penetrative sex with a stranger, at the most mild end an uninvited pat on the butt or pressing up against a woman in a crowded subway,with many gradations in between.

Atlas Shrugged was more prophetic than we thought.
Posted by: Thomas Paine at November 20, 2024 03:27 PM (lTGtQ) I find it very instructive (and relevant to the situations in California and Germany) that Energy was the focal point of the failure of everything. Cuba never produced its own (could they have? Interesting question). Since Russia was shipping them free oil, they used only oil generators for their power systems, now obsolete. Russia went broke; Maduro in Venezuela started giving them free oil. Then Maduro went broke, and Cuba has no foreign currency to buy oil from anyone with. So, electric generation shuts down island wide. The few scraps of oil they can find goes to the generators, so transportation shuts down. No more garbage trucks, trash is piled high in every street. No more transportation, no more food getting brought in to the cities. It’s a classic death spiral where every step down causes even more dominoes to fall.

"The combination of demanding pronouns, flying in illegals to place them on welfare, the allowing of tons of illegal drugs to flow in, the undermining of court systems by putting in DAs who decriminalize everything, all point to a systemic desire to destroy the country, and replace it with a dictatorship."
The pronouns is just the latest leftist assault on the English language which at started 30+ years ago by demanding words like chairman be changed to chairperson (awkward as hell.) Now the all too common use of 'she' when gender of subject is unknown (it was always 'he', which became neutral, for all previous written history) Even worse is when the writer switches back and forth in a single paragraph (talk about confusing!) There are many others that are destroying the English language. Posted by: Ripley at November 20, 2024 03:51 PM (GUOwU) 410

BabaluBlog has been chronicling the ongoing collapse of Cuba; they have reached the end state not just of communism, but of civilization itself. Electric power is nowhere available for more than 4 hours a day; trash collection has stopped; water purification has stopped; food distribution is grinding to a stop; it won’t be long before the entire island of Cuba may be in worse shape than Haiti.

Incels don't hate women. That's what the involuntary part means. They hate the current system where 90 percent of the women in the dating pool are chasing 5 percent of the men. They aren't psycho killers. In the old days they had a chance with geeky girls or those plainer ones who are shy, but these days a lot of them are man haters through the education system.
Growing up we were too poor for Legos. Posted by: Oldcat at November 20, 2024 03:48 PM (n7h9X) I thought incels were of the male gender type and XY who hated females. So I was surprised to learn of female gender incels who hate men. Why I am surprised I don't know, with the humanioids roaming free. The only adult I know who is "into" legos (and no children) is a super odd husband of a niece. A misfit. Cannot keep a job. Is a martyr for antifa. I think the trans rep in office is ugly, male or pretend female. His pretend female gig is to get attention due to his ugly pre-male face. I won't listen to a word it farhts out.

women do not use the term "incel" in an insulting manner because they mean "people who cannot get laid." They use it on fathers, they use it on studs with a harem of models. It just means "someone I hate and want to hurt" to them.

Posted by: Elric The Blade at November 20, 2024 03:53 PM (iFTx/) One of the things that is really starting to build up unrest in Cuba is the knowledge that all existing good food and drink is carefully hoarded for Westerners who visit and pay with hard currency; while the native Cubans are only given old beans and dirty water to eat and drink. Even the French peasants in 1790 weren't treated as callously as the Cuban people are being treated now. Why does it persist? I suspect because the US has functioned as a pressure valve for decades. Anyone with any spirit or ability for decades has been able to flee Cuba, so who is left there? The old, the sick, the mentally deficient, all of those who are completely unable to function with no one to take care of them. Get a population mix like this, and society can easily just collapse.

They could easily get laid, yes. But there is a rising movement in the 20-something set where otherwise desirable girls will go celibate. So not "incels" (that's involuntary). But they have basically decided that pursuing sex and dealing with men isn't worth it. Will it last or be permanent? No. But it's a real thing for now. Ditto men not wanting to deal with women.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at November 20, 2024 03:58 PM (iFTx/) I think it is a trend to fit in and be a part of the (bowel) movement of 2024. Granted, I am thankful not to have to deal with this crap, being olde. And my sons found girls to marry in college. So I did not have to go more insane than what the cassanova son put me through with all his girls. When you discussed Christine's or Amy's in his past we numbered them. I am pretty sure he inherited his waywardness from his father, woman's man til me. Son did the online dating deal, after a total beetch broke his heart, and I told him, they can lie!!! I worried he might have a trans event surprise date. If he did he did not tell me. GROSS The other son married his HS sweetheart, so I never worried about him.

I find it very instructive (and relevant to the situations in California and Germany) that Energy was the focal point of the failure of everything. Cuba never produced its own (could they have? Interesting question). Since Russia was shipping them free oil, they used only oil generators for their power systems, now obsolete. Russia went broke; Maduro in Venezuela started giving them free oil. Then Maduro went broke, and Cuba has no foreign currency to buy oil from anyone with.
So, electric generation shuts down island wide. The few scraps of oil they can find goes to the generators, so transportation shuts down. No more garbage trucks, trash is piled high in every street. No more transportation, no more food getting brought in to the cities. It’s a classic death spiral where every step down causes even more dominoes to fall. Posted by: Tom Servo at November 20, 2024 03:46 PM (TAHLa) Cuba does, or did, produce some oil. Very heavy, tar-like stuff. I once worked with a drilling supervisor who had worked in Cuba.

I told him about my all male life as well as being a RN and that I doubted he could say anything to offend me. We had a blast drinking across the country.

Posted by: buddhaha at November 21, 2024 01:55 AM (Osy+7) Comcast Announces It's Dumping MSNBC and Other Dying Cable ChannelsComcast is making a major play to displace Groomer Corporation Disney as America's top tourist destination with its Epic Universe theme park in Orlando. What they don't need is Disney's disgusting baggage in the form of toxic extremist politics. I'm just guessing about the relationship between these stories. No one is saying this. Whether my guess is true or not, Comcast is attempting to ditch MSNBC, and sooner rather than later. John Nolte says the move is just for purposes of separating Comcast's viable properties from its dying ones, so that its stock price isn't weighed down by dying cable channels. Maybe.With the inevitable death of cable TV accelerating, communications giant Comcast has decided to cut its losses and separate from MSNBC and other cable networks. "Comcast Corporation today announced its intent to create a new publicly traded company comprised of a strong portfolio of NBCUniversal's cable television networks, including USA Network, CNBC, MSNBC, Oxygen, E!, SYFY and Golf Channel," read a company statement. Also spinning off into the new company are the "complementary digital assets including Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes, GolfNow and Sports Engine[.]" For now, Comcast is calling this new company "SpinCo." Here's what Comcast will hold onto... "The planned spin-off will also strategically position NBCUniversal with its leading broadcast and streaming media properties, including NBC entertainment, sports, news and Bravo -- which all power Peacock -- along with Telemundo, the theme parks business and film and television studios." NBCUniversal is, of course, the NBC broadcast network and the film and TV studio, Universal Studios. Bravo, which originally launched in 1980 as an upscale performing arts network, is now a powerhouse of reality TV. It delivers programming that's cheap to produce (Real Housewives franchise, Top Chef, Project Runway, etc.), that attracts millions of viewers, and makes insane profits. Bravo is vital to Comcast's streaming platform, Peacock (which will also remain with the mother ship), not only because its programming is popular but Peacock subscribers love to dig in and binge those shows. ... So why is Comcast dumping the rest? Three reasons... 1) stock price, 2) stock price, 3) stock price. Cable TV is dying. It is a slow death, one I've been documenting for a decade, and we have now reached the beginning of the end.I saw a claim, either on X or in the comments, that NBC was attempting to distance itself from MSNBC, even though NBC "News" is just as bad as MSNBC and features many of the same "journalists," and supposedly was cutting off ties with MSNBC. But I can't see that being reported anywhere. The Flagrantly Adulterous Duo of Joe and Mika joked -- or "joked" -- "We can be fired tomorrow," discussing the move.

Propaganda is only worth it if everyone doesn't already know that its propaganda. But if everyone knows it's bullshit then continuing to dump money into it is the same as just setting that money on fire and watching it burn.

Morning Joe suffers ratings nosedive after hosts met Trump at Mar-a-Lago. 56 minutes after the hosts began explaining their trip to the Trump residence, viewing figures began to tumble. Between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m., they had fallen 17 percent from 839,000 to 694,000.
I believe those two don't care about their own ratings. They bent the knee, and now they’re happy to have avoided hanging on the wall. They both have plenty of money. They are trying to stay out of the Rapist's Gulag. I'll give them another 2 months - at the most - before they are cancelled. It is their audience they need to cater to. I had MSNBC on my TV 24/7 during the week before the election, but sparsely after Nov 5. After Monday's MJ confession, MSNBC hasn't been on once. Not even for Jen & Rachel on Monday. It's part protest, but it's also part "i need to get my head out of this political space that's occupied it for months" Their ratings sucked even before this. How can a network survive on only 800,000 eyeballs? Anything under 4 million should be canceled immediately. Can we at least have over 1 percent of the population watch a show?

Cable TV is dying. It is a slow death, one I've been documenting for a decade, and we have now reached the beginning of the end.
It's a self inflicted death. Simply because they never allowed ala carte channels. You had to take all thousand channels for an exorbitant price instead of simply paying for the four or five channels you watched. I watched Animal Planet, Discovery, the Hitler Channel and maybe one or two others BUT I had to pay the $100+ price tag dragging along the Watching Paint Dry (golf) and Tennis Channels.

Pulling from other thread:
>>> Exactly two weeks after Donald J. Trump defeated Kamala Harris in both the popular vote and the electoral college, David Hogg met with “researchers and activists” to figure out how to lure young men back to the Democrat Party. SMOD, I could save the researchers and activists the David Hogg consulting fee and just point them to ShoeonHead's vid about why the dems lost males. But I'm ok if they never figure this out, and the redpilled males still vote red in the midterms and 2028. Her roasting of those masculine men for Kamala ads with the soyboy actors, instead of finding real men, was pretty great. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tSw04BwQy4M Posted by: LizLem, Lord of the Rings and the Reckonings at November 20, 2024 01:49 PM (wcIbG) 99

I watch lots of golf on the Golf Channel. I would be bummed if it got disappeared, but I would also understand. In a post-Tiger world, golf is reverting back to its fringe state. I cancelled Peacock because they dumped Indycar (now on Fox). I still watch IMSA (still on Peacock) but they show their races on Youtube a week or two after the live events. I work shift work, I hardly watch anything 'live'. Sports is going to go through a massive change due to cable tv's collapse and the streaming world struggling to replace it.

Just watched the judge sentence Laken Riley's killer. He gave him the max on all the counts. First, life without parole, then life again, to be served consecutively. Then 20 years for this that and the other, and then even a couple 12 month sentences for the misdemeanors like interfering with a 911 call. All to be served consecutively.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at November 20, 2024 01:58 PM (w6EFb) I saw a thing, may have been fake, where the judge threw a bunch of life sentences at a guy, served consecutively, then added on hundreds of years, and even said something like "if they discover how to reincarnate people in the future, I sentence your reincarnated self to another dozen life sentences, plus a thousand years."

You'll be shocked to learn in all of them the attractive (but not too attractive) young-ish (but not too young) leading lady meets a disproportionately attractive man who nearly instantly throws himself at her. She inevitably resists for some reason, but then eventually decides he's the guy for her. They live happily ever after.Totally realistic, yo! Posted by: Elric The Blade at November 20, 2024 01:56 PM (iFTx/) The parodies of these on FB Reels and TikTok are hysterical. Not to disparage the indie authors that write this stuff, they do 4-5 books a year and are workhorses. But I've thought about giving it a try under a pseudonym. This stuff is catnip crack to middle age women, and ever since the pandemic the push for cozy anything--cozy romance, cozy mystery, cozy fantasy--has not died down. It is a tempting side hustle. But you have to produce like a machine or the indie book audience gets bored. Posted by: LizLem, Lord of the Rings and the Reckonings at November 20, 2024 02:08 PM (wcIbG) 265

The utter failure of cable TV is an issue that needs to be addressed by Congress. American taxpayers no doubt spent billions of dollars to wire the entire country with cable in the last 50 years, so we have skin in the game. Unfortunately, the business model of the mega corporations who control cable is to subsidize channels nobody watches with the subscriber fees of people who don’t watch. Now that that no longer works, they are simply going belly up. How about stepping in and preventing them from doing that so we get some return on our investment for once? À la carte pricing for all.

The parodies of these on FB Reels and TikTok are hysterical. Not to disparage the indie authors that write this stuff, they do 4-5 books a year and are workhorses. But I've thought about giving it a try under a pseudonym. This stuff is catnip crack to middle age women, and ever since the pandemic the push for cozy anything--cozy romance, cozy mystery, cozy fantasy--has not died down. It is a tempting side hustle. But you have to produce like a machine or the indie book audience gets bored.
Posted by: LizLem, Lord of the Rings and the Reckonings at November 20, 2024 02:08 PM (wcIbG) I have read a lot of them since my mother and sister had a bunch and I couldn't carry 10 books to Xmas vacation I needed something to read. The good ones are pretty entertaining since you could do anything with it under the main plot - Gal meets boy, misunderstanding 1 happens and she hates him, event 2 happens and she realizes she loves him and he hates her now then crisis 3 happens and everything is fixed up and its happy time. If its light adult throw in some sex scenes in there. But the framing around that can be anything - I remember one where the dude is a time traveller.

It made sense when Comcast first put all the networks together with NBC, but it no longer does.
NBC was able to get rights to sports leagues and then move them to their cable networks when needed. NBC has used USA network for NASCAR, college sports, and English Premier League for years now. But, with streaming starting to take a larger part, it makes sense to move those to Peacock where they don't have to share the subscriber fees with local cable companies and satellite companies.

I've posted this before but the US and New Zealand are the only two countries that allow pharm ads on TV. It is appalling as the risks of many of the drugs they are selling have very harmful if not deadly side effects for some people. They also send out a very bad message to kids and young people that just a pill a day can take all of your troubles away.
Posted by: Cheri They also employ out of work auctioneers to read off the side effects very rapidly. Posted by: Thomas Paine I think it should be like gross sidebar ads. If your drug can cause gangrene, projectile vomiting, liver cancer, and diarrhea, you should have to include a two or three second still pic or video of each side effect in your drug commercial. If nothing else, the stiffy pill ads will go away, since a picture of "priapism" won't get past the censors. Posted by: mikeski at November 20, 2024 02:25 PM (DgGvY) 388

Fen, I have some ideas for cozy romances! I really love the old films like It Happened One Night and Shop Around the Corner. Want to do some cozy romance stories that pull from what made the classic romances great, vs the Hollywood fluff they call romcoms nowadays. Woke kind of killed the romcom off. Only a few have really emerged from this era that I like.
(Yes I know you've got mail was an update of the shop around the corner. But that kind of idea of vivid, interesting characters, sharp men and women with fun dialogue sorting out their feelings while wackiness ensues. With some deeper themed b plots going on that ground the fluff.) Posted by: LizLem, Lord of the Rings and the Reckonings at November 20, 2024 02:27 PM (wcIbG) 402

Scotus case in the 20's involved a married man buying a ticket for him and his fancy lady to go from California to Nevada for a bit of illicit fun. The old Mann act required merely that you cross state lines with an immoral purpose in mind. Scotus agreed that a married man paying for going across state lines for his mistress for a quickie affair was included under the scope of the act. Conviction affirmed.

In a rare display of spine, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has come out in defense of former Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL), urging other RINOs to abandon the “lynch mob mentality” over unverified allegations as Gaetz seeks confirmation as President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Attorney General.

Well, the boys were on the receiving end, and I don’t think they were making the statues.

You'll be shocked to learn in all of them the attractive (but not too attractive) young-ish (but not too young) leading lady meets a disproportionately attractive man who nearly instantly throws himself at her.

>>> They'll dump the 6 6 6 guy when he actually has to spend 10-12 hours working to keep his income going. And her friends are all the 4B girls encouraging her to do so.
Oldcat, I read an interesting article lately by a woman who is addicted to dating Mr. Big types. She said it's easy to judge women like Carrie Bradshaw harshly until you've dated one. They are charismatic forces of nature, pushing through their career like a battering ram. And that kind of driving force is also in their dating lives. That it was almost a drug, having such an alpha male type want you But yes, the downsides are accepting you're going to be on the sidelines to their work, and that they aren't sensitive souls who will dig deeply into your feelings. She had to be ok with that for it to work. It sounds exhausting and lonely to me, but for the right woman I can see it working.

Fen, I have some ideas for cozy romances! I really love the old films like It Happened One Night and Shop Around the Corner. Want to do some cozy romance stories that pull from what made the classic romances great, vs the Hollywood fluff they call romcoms nowadays. Woke kind of killed the romcom off. Only a few have really emerged from this era that I like.
(Yes I know you've got mail was an update of the shop around the corner. But that kind of idea of vivid, interesting characters, sharp men and women with fun dialogue sorting out their feelings while wackiness ensues. With some deeper themed b plots going on that ground the fluff.) Posted by: LizLem, Lord of the Rings and the Reckonings at November 20, 2024 02:27 PM (wcIbG) I read a lot of early SF, Stanley Weinbaum from the 30s and a lot of his stuff is framed as a romance arc, guy meets girl on jungle planet Venus, misunderstandings happen and they figure it out and get married in the end. There are even sequels where the married couple explore more planets. I don't think modern romance does that, having the couple start out married much anymore.

Oldcat, I read an interesting article lately by a woman who is addicted to dating Mr. Big types. She said it's easy to judge women like Carrie Bradshaw harshly until you've dated one. They are charismatic forces of nature, pushing through their career like a battering ram. And that kind of driving force is also in their dating lives. That it was almost a drug, having such an alpha male type want you But yes, the downsides are accepting you're going to be on the sidelines to their work, and that they aren't sensitive souls who will dig deeply into your feelings. She had to be ok with that for it to work. It sounds exhausting and lonely to me, but for the right woman I can see it working.

Fen, I have some ideas for cozy romances! I really love the old films like It Happened One Night and Shop Around the Corner. Want to do some cozy romance stories that pull from what made the classic romances great, vs the Hollywood fluff they call romcoms nowadays. Woke kind of killed the romcom off. Only a few have really emerged from this era that I like.
(Yes I know you've got mail was an update of the shop around the corner. But that kind of idea of vivid, interesting characters, sharp men and women with fun dialogue sorting out their feelings while wackiness ensues. With some deeper themed b plots going on that ground the fluff.) Posted by: LizLem, Lord of the Rings and the Reckonings at November 20, 2024 *** Liz, I'm one of the few straight guys you'll ever meet who likes both Shop and You've Got Mail. Funny dialogue, charming likeable characters -- and in both, the guy is NOT painted as a doofus, and in fact resolves their situation himself. I don't think you see that much any more.

Oldcat, you're thinking of Affair to Remember!! Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr!! Yes, she's running to meet him at the Empire State Building and gets hit by the car. The grandma subplot in that always gets me.
(People want to say Cary Grant was gay, but he filmed Affair right after his love affair with Sophia Loren imploded and she wouldn't marry him. He was bitter and lovesick, and he poured those feelings into the film. I think it's his best acting ever. Deborah was having her marriage implode at the same time. They bonded as friends during the film since they were both were having romance troubles, I think it's why they have such great chemistry.) It happened one night has Clark Gable and the dialog is fantastic. The walls of Jericho! I'll have to check out those old sci-fi books with the romance subplots! I'm interested in that, especially ones with married couples. I think it's an interesting challenge. Posted by: LizLem, Lord of the Rings and the Reckonings at November 20, 2024 02:54 PM (wcIbG) 557

Continuing discussion about death penalty procedure: 1) The situation as I described it is the current law in MO. 2) What you posited would allow a def to avoid the dp in every case, simply by requesting a bench trial, correct? Not saying you're wrong, since the issue hasn't been adjudicated, but I question if SCOTUS would sign off on giving every def the discretion to avoid a death sentence.

I'll have to check out those old sci-fi books with the romance subplots! I'm interested in that, especially ones with married couples. I think it's an interesting challenge.

Grapefruit, the marketing team that does the Geico ads always finds the right sweet spot between weird and charmingly funny for me. I like them. The Liberty Mutual ads are Geico ads you buy on Wish. They are just weird. Don't like.

I've heard that the Greeks got the homo stuff from the Persians.
Posted by: Bulg at November 20, 2024 02:56 PM (v6JzV) I haven't heard that, they had harems and things. Were famed for not lying. Always seemed more straight-laced and proper. Of course if you invaded them and lost they'd skin you and hang it up in a museum. Posted by: Oldcat at November 20, 2024 03:05 PM (n7h9X) 583

Dating wasn't a joy in the 80s, but the malice was pretty much missing.
You clearly didn't know the girl I knew back then. I have a picture of her petting a Tiger. I realized later that was simple professional courtesy between man-eaters. Posted by: An Observation sez China Joe not my president at November 20, 2024 03:06 PM (Da7Vv) 585
I've never heard of that one. Palm Beach Story is also a good screwball comedy. I really like Claudette Colbert. She wasn't gorgeous, but was a fine actress. Posted by: FenelonSpoke at November 20, 2024 *** Fen, it's called You Can't Run Away From It (1956). There is a charming late '40s comedy, Without Reservations, with Claudette and John Wayne. She is a best-selling author, and her novel is about to be made into a film. She spots Wayne, a recently discharged Marine, and wants him to play the lead role -- but he's not interested. So she pursues him on a cross-country train trip. I haven't seen it in years, but it charmed me when I was a kid.

After 2020, for some strange reason, our local AT&T television provider dumped both Newsmax and One America News Network. Does this mean we're getting it back?
