Monday Overnight Open Thread (8/10/20)
The number of conservative successes achieved by the insufferable Never Trump Fredocons in the two decades before Trump came along and broke and humiliated them. None. Kurt Schlichter
Quote II
This state is bankrupt because they’re incompetent. They’re not going to become competent if you give them more money. They’ve they’ve managed the money that they got very poorly. They already have high taxes. There’s a 13.5 state income tax here in California, and the place is still fucked up.Joe Rogan
Quote III
As Police Commissioner and District Attorney, your primary jobs are public safety, not politics. You are failing. Portland Police Association President Daryl TurnerQuote IV
“I am all for peaceful protests, even against me, but this was anything but peaceful,” “The irony in all of this is that they chanted Black Lives Matter the entire time, but had zero regard for any of the black children that live there or me, a black man,Wisconsin police officer Joseph Mensah

Being the chief executive of Chicago is tougher than pickin' out that stylin' flannel shirt is all I'm sayin'. And by all means don't go baitin' the Mayor.
Reporter: "It almost sounds as though you're saying this is... the reason this happens is that the courts and the prosecutors were not doing their job. That they were going too easy on the looters from the last time around." Chief Brown: "Don't take it from me, just go by what's been done. There were no consequences for the people arrested." Mayor Lightfoot: "Don't bait us. Do not bait us. Do not bait us. This is a serious situation. People are concerned about their safety. Officers are concerned about their safety. So don't bait us. What we're saying is, as a result of what happened last night there have to be consequences. We've got teams of people that are aggressively out there, identifying the people responsible, looking at the plates, and we're going to bring them to justice. But when we do, and we do make those arrests, our expectation is that this is going to be treated with the level of seriousness that it should be. Period. Don't try to bait us, mischaracterize, pittin' one against the other, we're not playin' that. We are in a serious situation here, and we need a serious response. That's what we're sayin' period." Reporter: "I'm not trying to bait you ma'am."

Scraping By On $500,000 A Year: Why It’s So Hard For High Income Earners To Escape The Rat Race
One of life's basic tenets is, "Follow the money". Why would Dr. Anthony Fauci say that the chances of developing an effective Covid vaccine are not great? My guess, he won't be able to personally profit from it.
Dr. Anthony Fauci on Friday said it's highly unlikely a coronavirus vaccine with 98 percent effectiveness will be developed. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said a vaccine that is 50 percent or 60 percent effective would be acceptable, although 75 percent would be preferred. “The chances of it being 98 percent effective is not great, which means you must never abandon the public health approach,” Fauci said during a Q&A with Brown University School of Public Health. “You’ve got to think of the vaccine as a tool to be able to get the pandemic to no longer be a pandemic, but to be something that’s well-controlled,” Fauci said.
WILLIE BROWN TO KAMALA HARRIS: DON’T JOIN BIDEN’S TICKET
Willie Brown was instrumental in launching Kamala Harris’ political career, so I guess he has standing to give her career advice. His advice is that Harris should say “no” to Joe Biden if he offers her a place on the Democratic ticket. Here is Brown’s rationale: [T]he vice presidency has often ended up being a dead end. For every George H.W. Bush, who ascended from the job to the presidency, there’s an Al Gore, who never got there. True, the vice president does have an advantage the next time the party needs a new nominee, which in Biden’s case could be four years from now. But in the meantime, the vice president has no real power and little chance to accomplish anything independent of the president. Basically, no one takes the vice president seriously after election day. Just ask Mike Pence.

Socialism sucks. What occurs when you combine socialism and ineptitude? Venezuela. Throw in Covid-19 and isolation and you really have a bleak existence.
It’s easy to shroud oneself in gloom and doom, the country’s situation literally hands those two things to you. The past has been torturous, the present has become chaotic, and the future ever so uncertain. Time slips from your fingers faster than the country’s undead currency, months of quarantine have already passed, and before you know it, most of the year is gone already. The hopelessness and nihilism sink their claws into your psyche, the anxiety ferments and infects your mind, and lastly, the depression overcomes you. That’s how I’ve felt lately, I thought I had overcome this earlier this year or at least had it in relative control — on path to getting myself together — but here I am, once again, dancing with my own worst enemy: myself.No word from Sean Penn, Danny Glover and the rest of the Nicolás Maduro Moros enablers.
The Big Ten is expected to cancel its fall college football season in a historic move that stems from concerns related to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, multiple people with knowledge of the decision told the Free Press early Monday. "It's done," one high-ranking source in the Big Ten said Monday afternoon. Sources said the presidents were in favor Sunday of not playing sports in the conference this fall. Michigan and Michigan State — which both have physicians as presidents — were among the schools in favor of not playing this fall, sources said. Multiple sources said early Monday morning that presidents voted 12-2 to end the season, though the Big Ten said Monday afternoon no official vote had taken place. Dan Patrick, who first reported the 12-2 vote, said on his radio show that Iowa and Nebraska were the two schools in favor or playing.

If you’re planning on practicing for your adult naked basketball rec league at your nearest public park, think again. To the surprise of literally no one except this one guy, it’s illegal to droop and hoop. A Florida man arrested for playing basketball naked learned this lesson the hard way when he was approached by police while free ball ballin’ in Longwood, Florida. Police received a call around 7:30 p.m. on a Sunday night that there was a naked man playing basketball at the for-that-moment-unfortunately-named Candyland Park and responded accordingly. When officers from the Longwood Police Department arrived they found Jordan Anderson, 29, playing basketball naked with two balls too many. When they asked the Florida man why he was Dikembe Mutombo wagging his dong all over the public court Anderson said it was because he thought playing naked would help improve his basketball skills.
When I think of Massachusetts, I first think about some of our founding fathers, then I think of the deplorable Ted Kennedy and the rotten liberal trash that live there. There a few decent people there after all. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.
A Massachusetts hotline set up to enforce coronavirus safety guidelines instead received profanity, fake reports and porn from residents fed up with the rules — similar to what happened in April when New York City launched a similar effort. It didn’t take long for things to go downhill for Gov. Charlie Baker’s compliance hotline, according to MassLive.com. In just a matter of hours, there was a picture of a penis from an account dubbed, “Good German,” missives slamming the hotline as a “rat line,” complaints about “unmasked dogs” and gripes about Baker’s lack of a mask during news conferences, the outlet reported.

I believe that
is the main anger the left feels, others not caring what they think.
It's a hatred left over from their experience with their father. In
other words, lefties are still mad daddy never took them seriously. This
is a sad consequence of raising children who never developed the
ability of serious thought.

Not since early March. Haven't missed it at all. I was grimly accepting that they weren't Sam's "Everything Made in America" store anymore, but were a Chinese store. We mostly bought things that weren't from China - groceries, dry goods.
The mask directives and the BLM donation tore it for me. If we pay a bit more for something somewhere else, GOOD!

I was intrigued, so I checked. That's almost 100% accurate, with only one exception in the entire history of the United States. FDR was James Cox's running mate in 1916, but later came back to become President.
No one else has ever become President after being a losing Vice-Presidential candidate. No one.

Sat at 90 and 39 for almost 20 minutes trying to get onto 39 so I would be off by the time it came through. Finally said, The hell with this, and went east on 90. Got off on Genoa Rd and went south from there. Got within 7 miles of home when the shit hit. Am I glad I did. Reports of trucks blown over all up and down 39; trees down all over. Sheesh.

The way to success (in the modern Democratic Party, at last) would be to accept the nomination, and then decline it in the acceptance speech, accusing Biden of being an old white racist sex offending male.
Of course that requires a live convention. The party may know what they're doing having a virtual con.

One fascinating thing I have been thinking about: one of the reasons the dems/liberals have been able to make so many gains is because there have been bread and circuses to distract the masses. NCAA football is but one of the circuses, but it is a distraction from the chaos of the real world.
Combine that with video games that are not fun (Last of Us 2, which is an unmitigated exercise in misery), movies that are not first and foremost entertaining (lot of examples here) and you start to wonder if there are still enough distractions, that eventually you run out.
What happens when that happens, I dunno. The current situation is really creepy when you are listening to the History of Rome podcast on the late Republic period, I will say.

In fairness, that's professional corporate sportsball.
I think you'll find that out of the spotlight sportsball is still played by pretty good kids.
Golfers tend to like America pretty good. Male tennis players too.
It's just too easy to play the race thing for a lot of these guys. It's trendy.
And then those that disagree sure don't want to be accused of racism if they don't agree that "we have a long way to go". Witness Drew Brees.
The biggest problem is that they are unprincipled cowards that only care about sneaker deals.
I mean shit, they can't even say that chucking babies in the river to adhere to the one child policy in China is bad, because they need the little Chins and Changs to sew up their sneakers to sell for $260 to the urban youth.

I picked up "Meanwhile... Back in the States" on a whim in a record store's dollar bin in 2010, thinking it might be good for a few laughs, and just loved it. Except for Safety Dance, I probably like their versions better than the real ones (and I really like their version of Safety Dance, but generally also enjoy Men Without Hats a lot, too).

Yep. May as well do it while the weather remains fine. I have a settlement offer on the table from the insurance company, but I need to explore my options. I want to know if I can repair my existing roofs rather than have the house and garage roofs totally replaced. Neither are leaking. It's standing-rib metal roofing, and some seams have sprung a little from taking a direct hit. But it seems to me a little careful work with a drill and an air-powered pop riveter could close those seams back up.

Correct.
As the percentage of black players rises, the degree to which the sport calls America racist and protests increases.
Now, the question is this player driven or league driven? I think it's the former, as only a few years ago league owners bounced Kaepernick out of the league.
Now they are gonna play the black separatist anthem.
Still not quite as woke as the NBA, but close.

Face it, the reason the Dems are shamelessly running a declining senior

None were like the boob presser I had in my 20's. She was smoking hot. I think I told the stories of her here a while back. I think she was entering cougar territory, but she was in her early 30's, so maybe she was just a nymph.

Yes, California is the stupidest, failingest state in the omniuniverses.
The EDD (employment development department, aka the place where you get your unemployment checks) has been found to have a 4-month backlog.
You're not supposed to have to wait 4 months for relief when you've just lost a job.
It was discovered that the technology is decades old for one. I don't have straight-up facts on who gets hired and contracted, but my intuition tells me that those decisions are not based on quality, competence, etc.
NOW comes the overnight resignation of the Public Health Officer (a woke female who helped ban artificial trans fat in New York City restaurants) after less than a year on the job.
ONe swift kick and this whole rotten state would fall over.

Back in the early '70's, Carling-OKeefe in Canada brought out a "Heidelberg" beer in keg bottles. It was pretty good, but it's long gone, as is Carling-O'Keefe as a corporate entity. Swallowed up by Molsons.

Dad had a parking garage/service station, and served the Coca Cola products. He would bring home a couple of 6 packs of assorted flavors every week. This was long before New Coke was a gleam in Bill Cosby's eye.

I find it incredibly depressing that people whose charter for decades was to analyze epidemics haven't ever bothered to figure out how to measure, characterize, and present numbers during an active epidemic event.
But at least they'll be able to retire with full pensions, so it's not all bad!

As noted in earlier thread, the key number is CLI (COVID-Like Illnesses), a number collected via the old and well-established flu-surveillance network. No CLI presentation at ER or hospital, no laundry. Obviously hospital C19 census, and ICU, and deaths, all a fraction of CLI #. And CLI trend will determine the others.
That trend is down almost everywhere in US and in all the big recently "hot" states, going through their normal seasonally-timed curves, which no interventions affect.
Lots of talk of therapies, and vaccines. Better hurry, before the problem you're solving is gone (on its own, as is predictable and inexorable).*
* exaggerating a big for effect - therapies have value for treating actual cases that will continue into the tail of the curve, of course, and vaccines might have value, if the bug doesn't go very low-level endemic, but then still only for small demos

On the SARS2 front, word has emerged that there are "glitches" with the testing reporting. What exactly that means, and just how bad the "glitches" are is something that no one is willing to talk about yet.
Supposedly the death numbers and hospitalization numbers are accurate, though.
Posted by: junior
========
The glitch has created a testing backlog of 300,000.
Which means the shock numbers that have been used to beat us into our economic coma are actually... higher.
When the backlog starts getting caught up and those numbers spike, you'll hear the shrieking of Karens on the other side of the country. I think even Trump will cave in on something.

The usual customers were local farmers, who were rather closed around anyone who wasn't in their group, but as soon as the proprietor (an actual little rotund Frenchman) did the "Hello, my friends!" routine, everything was hunky-dory.

Will someone please just use their eyes and look around? We have dismantled or dismissed every field hospital and hospital ship that we prepped at a cost of millions without ever using them, and yet we are about to find out that our numbers were undercounted. What does this mean? It means that the numbers are completely misunderstood. The higher the case count, the freer the state becomes of infectious diseases (except for growing cases of TB etc on skid row).
I'm bracing myself for next round of self-flagellation. I bought produce at an open-air farmer's market tonight and masks were required just to wander around in the sparsely populated space.

Heidelberg, in the "keg" bottles, brewed at the Carling Brewing Co., Tacoma, WA, was Dad's go to beer, most of the time. I think there were 2 or 3 other locations across the country. His backup was Rainier Beer.
Drove by that brewery every day I would ride to work with Dad on Saturday's. Saturday was slower and only a half-day, and I would mostly sit in the office, out of the way. Later, started working there in HS and early college.
I probably had a couple, but honestly can't remember how good/bad it was. I would have been about 16 then, so I shouldn't have been drinking it anyway.

Oh Donna, don't be sorry. I am not sorry I had kids, but I am in my 60s now and looking at what i will leave behind, and my kids make me so sad sometimes.
I thought my daughter would be all right, but post partum depression and a complete inability to manage her money (inherited from my MIL) has convinced her that communism is the only answer.
She's left her husband and her child, taken out cards that she maxed travelling, drinking, and etc, used my husband's card unbeknownst to him until he cancelled it.
She has lost nearly a year of her 2-year-old's life, and will never get it back.
My son in law has picked up the slack mightily, but until a final resolution, does not have full custody or control.
My husband has health issues, which lockdown has exacerbated (the WuFlu won't kill him, but lockdown failure of general healthcare might), and she showed up at the house recently when, for the third time since March, he was admitted to hospital for things that never would have gotten that far if he had covid symptoms--don't get me started on video visits and edema.
I had to call the cops to get her to leave the property, because she had decided she was his primary caregiver and would be selling the house while he was hospitalized, with her, us, and our son (also struggling with depression, suicidal ideation, etc, who has just about lost ot during lockdown after making a good start at college courses that fizzled when everything went remote), who she decided would share a room with her--bunkbeds! my husband said "and one comes out alive"--because the apartment she can't afford and we and her ex have been paying for most months goes on month-to-month in November.
I am now forbidden to see my grand, who I used to babysit several days a week.
I love my kids and don't regret having them, and I also know that when my husband goes, I wouldn't mind if I went too instead of having to deal with them (they are in their 20s).
You always sound like a lovely woman and an intelligent one.

I'm of the opinion that the only other country that really has a similar scale to the US is China. Yes, Russia has the geographical area. But the bulk of the population is concentrated in the western part of that country. And it's roughly one and a half-times further from Los Angeles to New York City than it is from London to Moscow.
In comparison, the US and China are both very, very big both in terms of geography and population.

I assumed that within the first week of Hillary taking office, she'd issue an executive order bailing out every blue state pension fund with Federal dollars.
The bond ratings for Illinois and Chicago school bonds are so low, it only makes sense to invest in them if you are anticipating a Federal bailout.

There are such people. They are on Ingraham and Tucker regularly. Combined, there are a half dozen or so of them, who have treated well over a thousand patients of Covid. They are very detailed in their answers.
Progda does not carry them or acknowledges them. In fact, the only time that Progda recognizes them is to slander their work.

There are a couple of blocks of high-end jewelry stores smack in the middle of downtown Portland. They have been hit repeatedly during the current festivities (including the store where I bought our wedding rings).
My bet will be that three years from now, none of those stores will be there - you'll have to go to a suburb to get high-end jewelry in Portland.
When we got our wedding rings, we were given a fancy bag with the name of the store on it, and were advised not to actually put our rings into the bag when leaving the store. Apparently, there had been a number of snatch & grabs where some oppressed person would just grab any bag with the store's name on it.

The same exacting nature that makes you a language and grammar Nazi is EXACTLY what goes into making a careful, fastidious, thorough and SAFE pilot.
Plus, even though the enterprise isn't "mindless work", (the concept of which, such that I agree), it IS a "deep dive" into a highly engrossing, fully immersive new world, one that would capture your interest, increase your self-esteem as you accomplish each step, and open countless doors to you, both socially and professionally.

The intarwebs tell me that the song was named after the soda, and also that Seattle was the last place to sell the original Green River soda. Maybe it was popular there because of the actual river (probably not because of the killer), but the brand was originally out of Iowa, then was made in Chicago for many years.
The brand has been revived. No idea if it tastes the same.
Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at August 11, 2020 12:47 AM (unn44)
Accurate, about that trend and its history?
-------------------
Pasadena's "Old Town" district was torn out and renovated during the early to mid 80s. The area - which main drag Colorado Blvd. runs right through the middle of - was in pretty bad shape, with at least one fire-gutted building right on Colorado. This was a problem for a number of reasons - one of which being the fact that the famous Rose Parade on New Years Day passes right through this area after coming down the hill where all of the TV cameras are located.
There are a handful of businesses on the site that pre-date the renovation. Some of those businesses are unsurprising, such as the 35er Bar. Others probably wouldn't be allowed to go in there as new businesses, such as the pawn shop, or the shop that specializes in porn and similar "adult" products.
Yes, there is a porn shop right in the middle of Old Town Pasadena, on the city's main street.
I suspect that the businesses that pre-date the district makeover all own the land that they occupy. That's just a guess on my part, but it would explain why they can afford the rent.
Everything else is new construction (for certain values of "new", given that it's been a few decades now, of course). Most of the buildings in the area were torn down or heavily renovated. New shops, restaurants, and offices went in, and the changes attracted a large number of shoppers. It's been a pretty popular location for decades now, and the City of Pasadena makes *very* sure to take good care of it and keep it safe. There are always homeless wandering around. But the begging tends to be of the "sit passively on the sidewalk" variety, as opposed to the "aggressively approach everyone walking past" variety. A number of important locations in the city are also nearby, including City Hall, the Convention Center, the big chain hotels (although there are smaller motels scattered all over the city), and the Rose Bowl.

I breezed over the story, and ironically, I believe they have a point.
They say that overseas, they're just American. Not African-American, female African-American, etc. The obsession with race and gender disappears in places where the great contest is between Our Country and America.
None of them seem to grasp, however, that the obsession with race and gender in America is entirely artificial and coming from one side.

They do not consider Africans form Africa the same way.

For about 40 years, I've tried to base my choices on what I had in front of me, and made them with the understanding that I looked at them first, and therefore can't plead out or regret them. I have to live with them, BEFORE I make them.
I've always been good with that idea.
What I mean about "normal at my age" is perhaps the idea of reckoning: I may have been wrong at times.
But that doesn't change anything (it can't, can it--lol), nor does it change my acceptance of anything done with eyes open at the time.
I love this place, and don't know what I'd do without it. Thanks, guys, and good night--another day and the sun comes up, my eyes open, I win! for that day

My recollection is that when Pasadena created its Old Town District, it had recently lost a good chunk of its better-off population to White Flight, which was caused by school bussing.
Given how reviled and hated that was during the 70s and 80s, I'm surprised at how enthusiastic the Democratic Presidential Candidates were during the Primary debates. But I digress.
Fortunately for Pasadena, its had a couple of solid tourist draws for a very long time. The Rose Bowl gets in regular numbers of tourists throughout the year for the college football games (and occasional other event) held there. And at the start of the year, there's the Rose Parade, which also draws in large numbers of tourists. So there's a lot of money coming in from outside.
I'm guessing that's where the funds to renovate the Old Town District came from.

The Seattle city council voted today to cut the police budget, which will necessitate the loss of about a hundred police officers through attrition.
And, in a stunningly petty action, the city council also slashed the salaries of the police chief and the police department command staff.

Now, you have to be sure that the Pressing you choose was made with the Best Tapes...this can get tricky. SteveHoffmanForums is a good place to start searching for the right one.

Some months of my pre-awareness years were spent in Linda Vista, in USN Enlisted Off Base Housing.
Those buildings were long since razed, and the grounds converted to things more valuable.
Hell, for reference. My folks were offered to buy-in to the development of Kearney Mesa, just West of Convoy St.
Dad wanted to, Mom quailed in fear.
By time I'd graduated High School, we'd have been a millionaire family if Mom had any faith in Dad's instincts and abilities.
But, it didn't go that way, and the rest slid into atrophy, discontent, decay and divorce.

Cheap beer?
That's easy for me.
Columbia Beer was 99 cents a six-pak.
Light green label with white lettering.
And brewed, coincidentally, by Carling Brewing Company, Tacoma, WA!
As college students, a friend had a family cabin/property on Lake Tapps, in Pierce County. This was in the 70's, when Tapps was a summer lot/cottage, not the million+ houses on the waterfront now.
Anyway, we would go to the cabin, and a couple of miles before we got there, would go to the local store and stock up on Columbia.
This stuff was so bad, it HAD to be iced down for an hour, and then when you opened one, you had to nearly shotgun it before it got warm.
It didn't even have a 10 minute life on it. You chugged it or your regretted it. And no way would fellow poor college students let you waste that can of warm, crappy beer.
Buddies were joking about this very topic just a few months ago, reminiscing at those good times.
And the property, a shy acre on 150 feet of Lake Tapps waterfront, was sold last year. Friend's dad bought the lot for $5k in the mid-60's. They built a basic plywood cabin on it, maybe 1,000sf. And a dock. We had many ski boats there, and loads of fun.
It sold last year for $1.2 million, and the new home that replaced that cabin is already built. And it isn't even on the fancy part of the Lake.

She served in the Seattle police department for twenty-eight years, starting as a patrolman.
Her failing was defending the police department against the accusations of the mob.
Yeah, having your salary cut by 40% by the city council was utterly vindictive, and necessitates immediate resignation.
Every member of the Seattle city council voted for this, except for the socialist, who complained that the cuts to the police department weren't deep enough.

The AP Series are really nice, though the sleeves were meh.
The MusicMatters blue Note 45s are tremendous sounding and have primo sleeves to boot. But these are OOP and skyrocketing in price over the past year.

Sent her letter of resignation to the Officers in her department, *before* sending to the Mayor or Council.
That right there, tells me she might be fit for a good cop to work for, at least as far as West Coast Standards apply.
Sorry, but other Standards would have had her bucking up to City Council LONG before this, and with great flair, style and abandon.
Her Officers would have greatly appreciated having been loosed on the mob, at least ONCE, before she flounced.

That dam is huge, and really thick. The sheer amount of concrete is crazy. Until 9/11, you could drive your car over the top of it.
And the local town is a really nice little burg, all green and trees and such by pumping Columbia river water to water everything.

It's the coil on plug ignition system. I cleared the codes and ran it and it immediately tripped them again, so it's steady. I didn't see anything too out of whack on the freeze-frame capture data the thing stores with the last code it trips.
Anyone had any experience with what this likely is. Coils, plugs, injectors? I'll have to test everything, I guess.

Anyway, on one field trip, we visited Los Angeles' classical music station, KUSC. They had an incredible, and incredibly valuable, music collection.
Anyway, I would swear, they showed us these records that looked like LPs, but they were thick, I think made of glass (??), and even wider than an LP. I remember being told, they were exceedingly rare and fragile.
Do either of you know anything about this format? I believe it was a very short-lived audiophile format from the 1950s or early 1960s. I could be wrong however.

This is a coil on plug ignition. Each spark plug has its own little coil on top, fired by the computer. This just happened today, and it worries me that two cylinders -- same bank, but no adjacent, start misfiring at the same time.

That would have to be a P-71, surplus Police Interceptor Crown Vic.
Ford's last year of non Govt. production was the '05 model year, and the P-71 carried through on Govt. contracts through the 2011 year.
Conversely. The Mercury Grand Marquis absolute complete total clone of the Crown Vic, made on the same assembly line but with slightly different body colors, badging and interior labeling, also carried through with Commercial sales to the same 2011 model year.
A 2008 unit is either a P-71 or a Grand Marquis. Can't be otherwise.
This is an important distinction, as the P-71 really does present a quite different data set to any computer making introductions by way of inquiry.

First off, check the coolant for any indications of combustion gases or oil getting into the water jacket. If you have a cooling system pressure tester, try putting on the rad, with the engine cold, and start it up. If the gauge immediately shows pressure, you have a head gasket leak.
Next, I would pull all the plugs, and do a compression test. If compression tests OK, and the plugs look worn, replace them all. If the misfire persists, then look at coil packs, injectors.
One thought: if the coil packs are easy to remove, can you swap them around, and see if the problem stays with 5 and 7, or follows the coil packs?

Carmen Best was hired maybe 2 years ago? by Mayor Jenny.
A black woman from some back east city, I don't remember. Maybe late 40's.
At first, I rolled my eyes and said "another SJW". But no. Best always remained professional, before CHOP riots. And politically astute during interviews with the local press. I think most just considered her to be Mayor Jenny's gal.
And during the riots and to this day, has backed her cops with more strength than frankly I expected. And the split between the Police Chief and the Mayor became obvious.
Carmen Best has impressed me the last few months, especially considering the garbage Mayor Jenny and Emperor Inslee. She has performed at the level of what I expect a good police commissioner to do.
If she quits, I would wonder why any Seattle Police Officer would stay. No pension is worth that.
Too bad for Seattle if she leaves, but I completely understand why she would.

But, it's going to be the wires between the computer block and the plug/coil packs.
I'm a former, multiple, long term Crown Vic owner and driver, and troubleshooter.
And if it's not the wires, it'll be the coil-packs, themselves.
Ford didn't perfect that tech till well after the 2008 model year.
Hell, the '97 Vic still had cam-driven electronic distributors on each bank on the front of the heads.

Even if it was only a City Code Inspector's car, or a Corporate Oilfield Gas Line Gauger's car.
Post 2005, it was still more P-71 than not. Because the assembly line was shutting down to that option, and ONLY that option, before the 2007 year models began to appear.
Your car might have had a full front bench seat vs. a Police Interceptor's individual benches. (won't call 'em "bucket seats", they weren't!)
The drivetrain, cooling systems, alternator and underpinnings, would've far more likely defaulted to P-71 by 2008.
Even if the rims, tires and interior in general, didn't.
None of this is to complain. The P-71 in the rare "Chief's Special" variant (full Civilian trim on top of full Cop Interceptor everything else), was THE car to have, between '99 and 2011.
The '03 and later variants being the most desirable. In '03, Ford basically copied the hell out of the Mercedes 300 E series front suspension, and built it in to the 'Vic.
And put in a multi-link rear suspension to hold the old-fashioned Live Axle into superior movement arcs and rebounds, than the ancient leaf spring buggy system ever allowed.
Same body, different car.
'03 and later Vics and Marquis will do shit on twisty roads that you never thought possible.

All hip Seattleites know that the best murdering ice axes are sold at REI Co-op.
Another Seattle institution, and leftie as all get out.
But they do carry good products, albeit expensive. Their odds and ends/ clearance/ returns sale once a year, are a great way to buy good stuff, used usually once, for pennies on the dollar.
Have to check the availability of murdering ice axes, though.

The folks wanted a CV, and they had stopped selling them normally, but the dealer said he might be able to get a fleet one, and that's what he did. They may have still been selling Grand Marquis, and I'm thinking they almost bought one, but my father balked at it, too much money, and he jumped at the fleet CV option.
I have no idea where the dealer got it from, which "fleet" it was sold to.

99% of Taxi cars were retired ex-cop cars. Taxi fleets NEVER bought new from a Fleet Dealer. Just wasn't in the business model.
Odds are Chief's Special, and a damn rare Corporate car. Which were DAMN rare post '05, as Ford was TRYING to kill off that sales channel at the time.
All of this is a distraction as to your diagnosis.

I've got an Auto X-ray scanner. It goes up to '07, and choosing '07 Ford seems to work. It gets the codes, the freeze frame data, and even the live running data, where you can see all the shit (that the scanner knows how to retrieve) the computer is monitoring.
With it running at idle and driving around a little bit, everything in that live data looks good. You see the O2 sensors bouncing, MAP and manifold pressure looking sane, fuel trim levels looking sane.
Only problem is the #5 and #7 misfire, one of which will get bad under acceleration.
I'm gonna check the coils on it as a first step tomorrow when I get a round 'tuit. Then I'll look at the injectors.
The live date will report fuel rail pressure, and that looks normal.

Kasich will speak at the Dem convention, and endorse Biden. Not kidding.

Imagine how *stupid* and *ignorant* one has to be to find this idiocy anything other than frighteningly and offensively imbecilic. But it will ring bells with tens of millions of airheaded "Americans".

The Mariners are playing at T-Mobile Park to empty seats.
Well, they put human sized cutouts in the seats for the first dozen rows or so, all around the field.
A good buddy yesterday texted me a picture of one of the fans. Right behind home plate, in the second row.
It was him, and he figures it was him, there about 10 years ago attending a game.
Even the same jacket he had then. He wears aviator-style glasses, and a goatee.
But no royalty check in the mail, yet anyway.

Enough of this "Zabel debugging". That's what a guy I knew used to call this, after some guy he worked with named Zabel, of course. Zabel loved to just theoretically muse on what could be wrong, trying to deduce the problem in his armchair by endlessly pondering some output data. He wasn't that interested in actually tearing into whatever was failing and determining what was actually wrong. He just liked to sit around and muse.
I'm sitting around like Zabel. Get in there, tear it open, and see what the hell is wrong.

that's easy: go down and see my friends at X Products and get either a Can Cannon (223/556) or an MUL in 308. they're right there in Vancouver WA.
pro tip: with the Can Cannon, buy some IMI blanks on line, as they are stronger than M-200, but you have to wipe down the soda cans with kitchen oil spray on a paper towel... you get range that way. w/o the wipe down, the cans rupture coming out of the muzzle.

I read that the city council actually voted to cut her salary by 40%.
What kind of insane government does that? No wonder she retired instead of quitting. Her pension will be based on her last salary, not the bullshit 40% cut salary. She gave them the middle finger and won't hang around to be a scapegoat.
What a complete clusterfuck Seattle has become.

This is of course the GOPe's salvation, floor, and safeguard.
Just today, Trump tweeted nastily at Sasse, for something (doesn't even matter what). Well gee, Mr President, it's quite shocking, isn't it, that he's *still* a worthless weasel who opposes almost everything you want to do, even after you endorsed him in the primary (almost certainly instantly and without any consideration, as with all the other incumbents).
Kind of beautiful in its own way, Sasse effing Trump even before he's re-elected, after having his backing.
Even 2 Trump terms may not have much lasting impact if voters simply refuse to inform themselves and demand candidates who will be useful in office. The inertia of the system is more than any president (especially one who is uniquely almost all on his own) can really overcome.

Since "black" is apparently a predictable, blanket, monolithic state and you accept that you're exactly like illiterate L'Taneesha-Quay in the hoods of Baltimore, then I'm sorry that you both f*cked up your communities and reputations since the 90s so incredibly badly to the point where you feel obliged to move out of the country to escape the repercussions of your blackness.
White people like me will continue to do our best to view you as individuals, though. Sorry you can't, Najoh Tita-reid.

You know. Places where blackness isn't important in the workplace, interviewing, and hiring practices of companies. Why you left America, remember?

I think a lot of people get their food phobias from childhood simply because their parents could not cook it right. Sure there are some things you just don't like, but more likely it was prepared poorly.
I used to thrown\ in some whipped cream and Hershey's chocolates when the time felt right. My mom didn't seem too bothered by that.
My fave was maple and brown sugar.

Cinnamon stick in the water along with the salt, brown sugar and maple syrup (the real stuff). At the end, some dry toasted chopped walnuts along with a small snack box of raisins (just to warm them through). Remove the cinnamon stick and add a touch of milk.

hash brown are ok. I could take them or leave them really. The key I
have learned is you have to dry them out as much as possible before
cooking them. Put the shredded flakes in a clean towel and squeeze out
as much liquid as you can.

I have a case of those freeze dried hash browns that come in those little cartons that look like milk cartons. I usually soak about 30 grams of those in hot water for half an hour then fry them in a pan with about 1/2 inch vegetable oil until they are browned.

re: sleep aids (and I'm having the same issues as many of you in these times) if you live in a state where it's legal you can get sublinguals, or edibles, such as gummies or mints, that are *mostly* CBD with a small amount of THC. I use one that's only 5% THC. You won't get "high" and start munching Cheetos and listening to Pink Floyd. The THC just sort of "amps-up" the CBD and lets me drift off to sleep with virtually no after-effects. No morning sleep-aid hangover.
Many of those products contain HFCS, which is not only bad for you but it's an IBS trigger for me and I can't go near even tiny amounts of it. But with the help of a good budtender I found a HFCS-free brand that works for me.

We had our primary August 4th. Very controlled. Very, very safe. And still my wife voted absentee to not do it in person.
But I did not have opposition for my reelection, nor do I have any in the general election. So I won. Got 181 votes in the lightly attended primary.
The funny thing is, the guy I ran against in 2016, and who I only beat by 56 votes, is going to be my incoming Treasurer as a write-in. As he is a Dem, and a long-time Union Member, I have to watch him closely.
My current and fantastic treasurer is leaving for grandkids and travel.

Two professional type women with their small children were the only others there.
Both spent 45 minutes in the pool talking to each other about how this pandemic has negatively affected their lives, with work, school and having to work from home.
But, the one was very happy that she could pick her work schedule, so that on Mondays she worked until 6:00pm
Oddly enough, this was about 4:45pm when she was saying this.

I taught CPR and a Blood Borne Pathogens course for years when I was a volunteer. Generally, only first responders and teachers get BBP, but it would probably help save more lives than CPR. Not diminishing the value of a CPR course, but CPR is generally effective on young, otherwise healthy individuals. The defibrillator and obstructed airway portions of the class are the most life-saving aspects.

Example: people so worried about school shootings that the (usually very bad) training for that scenario has cut into the training time for (e.g.) tornado drills in tornado country and earthquake drills in earthquake country.
And, of course, the risk of all of those pale in comparison to the risk of getting in the car and driving to school.

P. J. O'Rourke (back when he was actually conservative libertarian and funny) was a long time ago.
Have you seen Hong Kong emptying out? The ChiComs just arrested a valiant owner of a newspaper. Seems it is time to go.
Posted by: NaCly Dog at August 11, 2020 07:09 AM (u82oZ)
****
Yes - funny PJ O'Rourke was a LOOOOONG time ago. Met him at a book signing once in NYC. As you surmise from the location I was about the only person there - so I got on the end of the "line" and after he signed the book - we shot the breeze until someone else showed up - which was about 5 minutes or so. Super funny guy back then. He has strayed into nevertrumpism and is lost to us I am afraid.
Yes the owner/editor of Apple Daily was arrested ( their HQ is not far from where I am sitting now). It has been painfully obvious that HK as a concept has been "over for some time now. They haven't rolled the tanks across the bridges yet - but if they do I will be rolling out the other side on a friend's sailboat we have rigged for easy bugging out if need be (in case the Airport gets shut down). People are still living here (what can they do really?) but they are worried. Real estate and rental prices went down but seem to have stabilized ( Stupid rich Asian PRC money seems almost limitless, until it isn't anymore - especially if Trump gets re-elected and the Dems are forced to spend a decade or so out of power - that moment will be sudden and catastrophic for Asia - the French Revolution is going to look like a kid's tea party when that happens).

I've seen calculations to the effect that if you confiscated every penny from every U.S. billionaire (which you couldn't... most of that money is paper wealth that would collapse under any confiscation scenario, but assuming you could), it would fund Bernie's grandiose schemes for one year. One.
Where Bernie is planning to get the funding for next year's handouts is left unspecified.
