Overnight Open Thread (07/18/2020)
[Buck Throckmorton]
Dairy farmers also successfully lobbied for restrictions that banned the use of yellow dyes to make margarine look more appetizing. By 1900, artificially colored margarine was contraband in 30 U.S. states. Several states took even more extreme measures to turn consumers away from margarine—they required the product to be dyed an unappealing pink color.
As the coloring restrictions became widespread around the turn of the 20th century, margarine producers accepted that they couldn’t dye their wares yellow. There was no reason why they couldn’t simultaneously sell consumers margarine and yellow dye, though. When you bought a block or tube of margarine, you also got a packet of food coloring that could be kneaded into the margarine by hand.
In 1887, Thomas Munson rode horseback with French scientist Pierre Viala along the Red River during Viala’s search for a hearty species resistant to phylloxera. The small aphid had wreaked havoc throughout France, destroying an estimated 80 percent of the country’s vines. Munson, an expert in grape botany and plant grafting, was Viala’s last hope for a solution to the problem. Munson directed Viala to western Bell County, where the limestone soil approximated that of the French countryside. Viala found three native species thriving in poor soil conditions and, through grafting European vines to the phylloxera-resistant Texas rootstock, replenished French vineyards wiped out by the epidemic. A year later, France recognized Munson as Chevalier du Mérite Agricole in the French Legion of Honor.
Manufacturers are backing away from aggressive promises, too. Nissan has admitted that it's unlikely to produce self-driving cars before the end of the decade. And GM, which had previously promised to sell an autonomous vehicle by 2019, has not announced an updated projection.

Therefore Biodynamics in a nutshell is the 'Biological' practices of organic farming that improve the quality and fertility of the soil. It is bringing a higher degree of life activity in the soil, plants and animals by using the dynamic methods of Mother Nature.…was also a loud and proud racist.
Steiner argued there was also what he called a hierarchy in races. Inferior races were at the bottom of an evolutionary staircase he helpfully sketched out in one of his books. When a person of any race died they were reincarnated. If they had good karma they would come back as what Steiner saw as a superior race until after a number of satisfactory lives they would achieve a top-of-the-pile white Aryan existence. Others would move down in the pecking order.Rudolf Steiner is still revered in the cult of organic farming.

My boys have Ray's autograph, and are big fans as well.
He played a small gig just outside my office building in the late 90's. One of those "summer in the square" offerings that no one goes to.
Maybe 50-100 people showed up, 20 or so being a group of my friends. Much dancing and beer was consumed.

I don't use margarine either, and my parents also kept butter in the refrigerator... but I don't. And now, they don't either.
You can keep it on the counter under a butter dish, it stays soft and spreadable and it lasts for weeks. I've never had a stick of butter on the counter come anywhere close to going bad before it was used up.

the rivers below me. The town of Carter Lake, Iowa is entirely on the
Nebraska side of the Missouri River, due to a course change in the river
which left the oxbow lake and its namesake Iowa town surrounded by
Omaha.
I've filled up in Carter Lake more than once due to its proximity to Eppley Airfield. There's also a "call phone lot" next to the lake for people waiting to be called to pick up arrived passengers. Beautiful scenery to distract you from the delays and frustrations of modern air travel.

"Rancid butter" must be a thing that happens, but I haven't encountered it. I don't use a LOT of butter, and it's just me in the house, but I've never had it last so long that it goes bad - and I must've had it around for at least three or four weeks several times over the years.

You're absolutely correct about that.

Looking at it all now, however, I'm not so sure anymore. He got it spectacularly wrong with Roberts, so I guess it's coloring all of my former views on the guy.

He never talked about it (and I wasn't around him much for reasons).
I know he was a very intense, real and fearless guy. (well to a 10 yo anyway).
I always wanted him to be my Dad. I mean I admired/respected/honored my Father but he was very quiet and boring. For all I know he was a secret agent in the War. That's how most of those guys are.
One regret I have is never taking/making the opportunity to ask my Father just what the hell he did as a young man before he met my Mother. Because he didn't talk much about anything the topic never had a chance to come up.
To you youn'ns out there; get to know your Father while they're still around cause when you're old and you'd like to know, they'll be gone. And so will you Mother probably and she won't know the half of it.

Re self-driving cars: it's gonna be a while before people are anywhere close to used to the idea, I think. Even my 15-year-old niece and 19-year-old nephew aren't crazy about the idea and say they'll always want to drive their own cars.
At the same time, when the big marketing push for it comes, I know just what it'll look like: imagine being able to go out to a bar, drink yourself silly, throw yourself in the back seat of your car, and say "take me home," without having to worry about a DUI.
Also I've heard and read, the first major road transportation that will be self-driving will be... major-haul trucks, which I find kind of spooky.

Lord God please yes. If only I could have back and hour with my father to talk to him, to spend time with him, that I didn't when I was young. He would ask me if I wanted to go to the store with him and I was too busy drawing or reading or something and I'd say no. God forgive me. I miss him so much some days.
Spend time with your father while you can. Spend all the time you can. Learn from him, be with him, know about him. You cannot take that time back. I never got that time to be an adult with my father, to be his buddy. I never learned all about him that I should have. He knew so much and I know so little, I feel like a tenth the man he was.

I've always kept one stick of butter in a butter dish in a cabinet.

My grandmother had a butter cabinet built into the exterior wall of her kitchen. I just keep as stick in the butter dish on the counter. You should really use enough butter to avoid rancid butter--stuff lasts nicely. I think the butter cabinet was to keep it from melting, rather than going bad.

I've never wanted one or thought it was a good idea for me or anyone else.
I think it's another ploy like GM when they got rid of all the trolleys so they could sell buses.
They try to make something they want a consumer demand.
Trouble is in this case they tried sooner than they had perfected the technology and I think they've actually scared a lot of potential buyers off with all the accidents and problems.
Probably the only way to have self driving cars would be in areas where the streets and intersections and traffic control was built from the ground up with self driving cars in mind.
The lighting the road design, the street markings and traffic signals would all need to have as little randomness and variances as possible and that only happens by design.
Frankly the worst thing that happened when the USA moved west is we took the rectangle layout of streets and built very boring and dull driving experience to the new frontier.
They even mandated the naming of the streets in some cases.
I think it was a French innovation that some Harvard lawyer decided was cool.

My Dad was career Air Force, then a stockbroker. He was a very intelligent, very, very VERY quiet man who was probably driven absolutely nuts by having 3 kids 5 years apart.
I got to spend a lot of time with him in his 70s, then he slid into 5 years of Alzheimer's Hell and passed away on June 1, 2016. So I knew him pretty well, I guess, but like most kids not as well as I could have. I mostly remember him being solid, always willing to teach me anything I needed to know, and quiet.
After he died my Mom gave me a novel he wrote but has never been published. Novel's hero was an orphan who grows into a spy and a war hero, saves lives, always in danger, great Dad and businessman. The love story in the book is so obviously my Mom and Dad it is really touching. Not a bad nook. I am working on getting it published.
The thing is, he wrote such an over-the-top hero, who was all these things that he never achieved, but he obviously wished he had.
When I finished reading the book I remember telling my Mom: "He wrote this story as if he didn't realize that he was a hero to me just for building a baseball field for us kids when we were little, teaching me how to be a man and for always just being there."
Mom said: "Your Dad wasn't the flashiest guy who wanted to marry me, but he definitely was the best one."
Yup.

Geek trivia: the events related in "Hot Rod Lincoln" actually happened, embellished somewhat, but the big race didn't happen on Grapevine Hill in California, but on a long steep hill with switchbacks in it, between Lewiston, Idaho, and Clarkston, Washington, which was Charlie Ryan's old stomping grounds. It's one mother of a hill, too.
Charlie knew the value of marketing, though, and he set the venue of the song as Grapevine Hill.

Gretch the Wretch just yesterday ratcheted up her diktat on masks. Now, you still have to wear one everywhere at all times, and there's still the medical necessity exemption, that she grudgingly had to accommodate it until she figures out a way around that. And both the customer and the business get fined if they aren't obeying her whim. But she specifically tightened the requirements so that a business cannot assume that a customer who is not wearing a mask has a medical exemption; they must ask to confirm.
Because nothing says "masks and social distancing protect everybody" like requiring employees to accost un-masked people and shake them down face to face.

A lot of country music these days leaves me cold and I gave up on the local country music station. But I seek out material by George Strait, Alan Jackson, and a few others.
Kathy Mattea and Michael Martin Murphy are two others who have gone their own way from the current 'country' sound. Mattea has gone more traditional folk and gospel and MMM went to traditional western cowboy songs. They are making really good music.

I have an M17A1 mask just like this, and it works. I have used it while painting cars, and and I cannot even smell the solvent when I am spraying. Looks badass, and has an exhalation valve, too. Kind of claustrophobic to wear.

I had to look it up, because I'm embarrassed to admit I had no idea where the term actually comes from. I could look at a boulevard and say "that sure looks like a boulevard, that right there", but couldn't tell you the first thing about a mews.

Many refrigerators have a butter keeper, usually in the door, that has a heating element, or else poorer insulation than the rest of the fridge, so that the butter compartment runs a few degrees warmer.
I am kind of surprised that no manufacturer has made a counter-top "butter chest" using a thermoelectric module to chill it to about 45 or 50 degrees F, whatever it takes to make butter just spreadable.

It's "mews", noun singular, and I think it's an old British term for the laneway behind a home where the carriage house was. I think it turns up in some Sherlock Holmes stories.

Strange patterns the COVID lockdowns have created. Made lots of mojitos and Old Fashioneds.
Something just seems wrong about muddling drinks in disposable plastic cups.
Still yet, Ecuadorian women are apparently pretty hot. The bride and a couple of the bride's maids had children, but unlike Mexican women they were tall and thin and hot.
Usually after the Mexican women squeeze out a kid or two, they turn round and squatty, like a round ball of masa dough.

I did some more work on the poor wretched Panhard today! Ran a wire from the hot post on the starter solenoid to the ammeter, so the electrical system is now live. And I hooked up the stop light switch, an old hydraulic one from a Studebaker, and when I step on the brake pedal, the Panhard's little* stop lamps glim away bravely.
*and they are little, precisely the size and shape of those old beehive clearance lamps you used to see on farm trucks.

How many thousand years did Lewis warm his seat in Congress? Did he ever, in all those decades, do anything to help the country, his constituents, or reflect any "principle" or "courage" of any kind? We know he lied, infamously, and slandered decent Americans protesting the idiotic and unconstitutional O-care, with a typical bit of low-market race-baiting.
Is there any reason every intelligent decent non-racist American should not be glad he's gone, and wish he'd take 1,000s more like him along?

Of course one could also do real science and epidemiology, look at the age-stratified morbidity of acute cases and deaths (we now are far past the point where adequate N has been gathered), and immediately conclude all school-age kids and adults up to 50 face *zero* effective risk.

Jackson was never anywhere near King's body. He was excluded from the inner circle because he was regarded as an opportunistic grifter by King's people, quite correctly as it turned out.
That white cotton sweater with the blood on it --Jesse probably bought a raw beef roast and rolled it around on the sweater.

I wasn't getting much traction, then I realized I had the perfect example: hydroxychloroquine. The press went all-in on condemning this 65-year-old drug because Trump said it looked promising. As a result, some states even banned it's used! Well:
https://tinyurl.com/y59jlduf (Note: goes to Twitter)
At this point, treating with HCQ + azythromycin (sp?) + zinc at earliest possible time from onset of symptoms shows uniformly excellent results with very little side effects, which makes sense because the course of treatment is so short. The graph that leads off that Twitter thread is really striking.
Yet here in the US, there are still millions of people who wouldn't take HCQ if it was prescribed for them, because Trump talked about it. That's just insane.
If the we had an honest media, and a more mature political class, things would be going so much better. Things are actually not going so badly now -- AZ hospitalizations have peaked, and cases are falling as well. Viruses are gonna virus, and we ARE getting through this. Early treatment can drastically reduce deaths and the number of people suffering long-term effects. With that knowledge, state and local governments should be able to encourage citizens that it's OK to open up, but because everything is so politicized here, they won't. Many feel it's to their political advantage to stay shut down until the election, even though that makes no sense at all.
And, knowing the HCQ + Az + Zinc treatment protocal is so effective should calm the fears of parents, teachers, and administrators about the re-opening of schools.
All of this is SO GOOD, but I'm a voice in the wilderness, commenting on a blog on a Saturday night.

A friend of mine has been a doctor for 30 years. He's in one of the southern states. He's been treating patients every day since this shit started with HCQ and hasn't lost a single...single fucking patient. Everybody lived. He's beyond pissed at so called doctors. He said they're acting like a bunch of year 1 med students and people are dying for no reason. He explained to me how the covid works and why the HCQ kicks it's ass. He lost me in a shit ton of medical jargon, but I kind of understood. HCQ is cheap and effective, and he saved a ton of lives.

Proven decades ago: anew begin
I had always thought the transporter in Star Trek was a device which killed you for another you somewhere else.
Let us investigate this - since apparently it did not stick.
So, we begin with this assumption that when can dissemble ourselves
So let us do this. Atom by atom - not impossible. We begin with our craniaum
Still me ?
Then we continue on to the hiposampus .
Still me ? Yes. (Ask roger he knows)
So we have finished to the spinal stem
We wish to begin reassembly but
We have come across a contradiction
A problem
That is that this process can be forked (because we can copy quantum states and yet we cannot make consciousness duex capable.)
Do you see ?
This is a very critical point
If I can duplicate you and I have proven that I can do this I have left the souls Baren.
Who rides which monster ?
Originaly I said this is a contradiction because there is only one You.
But no one understands .
You cannot download conscience for it is of God let alone the fact of who would govern it. If not you (and it's won't be) then what exactly is the point.
If I can copy you who is that consciousness ?
12 years gone and you should all know this fact. I have no purpose in secrets any more.
It is here by proven and claimed that the soul cannot be replicated.
I will repeat this at one other place.

A bit overstated. After all, Cruz also went to Harvard, and I'd love to see him on the court.
Also, Kav hasn't yet shown himself to be rotten. Not Thomas, of course, but we can't expect that.
Even Roberts isn't yet a "reliable" liberal vote. Put yourself in their position; they'll see him as someone worse that Souter or Blackmun, better than O'Connor. Part of my problem with him is that I don't see anything resembling a legal philosophy, other than minimizing the BS he'll take. Since he's in DC, that automatically makes him lean left. At least with Kennedy (spit!) I knew ahead of time which cases he'd be wrong about.
Gorsuch I never trusted, for religious reasons. I was Episcopalian, now Catholic. To go the other way strikes me as bizarre, especially as his church was described as "liberal". To stand out as liberal in TEC means it must be pretty bad. It's not that he converted, but to convert to THAT? (If it were one of the breakaway "Continuing Anglican" ones I wouldn't say that.)

Do we really know that? OK, obsessing and talking incessantly, I'll grant. But studying? Don't see that that is so, unless you just mean "study" the way it's used a lot today - endless seminars and consultants and team meetings. But I'm pretty clear Nelson thought about it a fair amount, improved, and was damned great at it.
Of course, he also thought more about the goals he was leading toward, and the means to reach them. And those - especially the former - are not really in vogue as food for thought. Not what you'd really call "thought".
BTW, why is it that ONT's almost always give pixie errors when you copy and paste, but the daytime ones rarely do?

Until the moment at which it's proven that they're safer than human drivers.
At that point, you will not be able to buy insurance for manual driving.
"So, Mr. Johnson.... you're telling this court that even though you KNEW that the automated driving system was safer, you DELIBERATELY turned it off?"
Yeah, no insurance company is going to defend that case.

Gorsuch strikes me as a guy too grounded in the legal process. Show him lines for the cattle cars - and he'll calmly search for past precedent. If he thinks he found it - stare decisis and let 'em roll.

I wish I could join in on the movie threads, but I am usually, and ironically, watching some movie at the time. Last night's was Carol Reed's 1947 Odd Man Out, with James Mason and Robert Newton (the actor who apparently created the whole vocal styling we call "Talk Like a Pirate" when he played Long John Silver a few years later).
Mason, an IRA rebel, accidentally kills a man and is wounded while he and his team are robbing a mill, and he becomes the subject of a manhunt. It's far less about the police hunting him than it is about the people of Ireland.
The film is exactly what a B&W movie should be and does best; the range of characters Mason encounters reminds me of Dickens's Bleak House . . . and I need to see more of Carol Reed's films.
I'm becoming more of a director junkie. Who'da thunk it.

Coloured margarine was illegal in Ontario until *1995*. And Quebec, being Quebec, home of the 15,000 dairy farmers who keep 'supply management' of milk, a thing, only gave up in *2008*. We still have 'supply management' which forces up the price of milk and cheese, together with obscene tariff barriers on both, up to 300% on some cheese from Europe ( effectively reversing the EU agricultural policy subsidies and then adding a tariff). Oh the fun!
"In November, 2005, provincial Agriculture Department inspectors raided four Wal-Mart stores in the Quebec City area and seized 72 tubs of illicit yellow margarine. The action came a day after an outraged member of the opposition Parti Québécois tabled a Unilever produced container of yellow margarine in the National Assembly, saying he had purchased it in Quebec City."
My parents stopped using margarine in the early 60's. My mother said is always reminded her of the stuff she had to use in Britain during WWII. I always hated the stuff. For cooking, butter for mushrooms or fresh saute'd fish, Otherwise canola.
