“It's very clear, across the UK, that this ill-thought-out 10pm curfew, has pushed everyone out of venues with socially distanced measures, into the streets, into off-licences, supermarkets, overcrowded public transport and house parties.

"It's not a ban, it's a nudge," Kate Harrison, a council member
President Donny "Two-Scoops" has a wonderful strategy to win tomorrow's debate. Let Uncle Joe "The Paste Eater" talk the entire 90 minutes.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Trump campaign unveiled the president's winning strategy for Tuesday night's debate: he will simply stand there and let Joe Biden try to form coherent sentences for the entire evening.
Trump says he will simply go on stage and say, "I cede my time to Joe Biden," before calmly sitting down and watching in delight as Biden tries to maintain coherence for nearly two hours. "It's a genius move, frankly," said one political analyst. "There's some real 4D chess going on over there in the White House. Or perhaps 7D Axis & Allies, or even 17D Diplomacy. The Biden campaign simply isn't operating on Trump's level."
A group of four Australian law professors have nominated U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, the third nomination he’s received in recent weeks. The nomination is based on the so-called Trump doctrine, or the president’s approach to foreign policy, David Flint, one of the professors, said on Sept. 28.
A misunderstanding over a few Lightning fans' passion for their team during the Stanley Cup final Wednesday night produced a scene in Tampa rife with cops and, in the end, comic relief. Devon Garnett, a bay area super fan of sorts recently profiled by the Tampa Bay Times, was watching Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final Wednesday evening with two buddies at Radius Palms apartments near USF. In one first-period sequence, when Victor Hedman controlled the puck in the Lightning’s offensive zone, the friends began screaming, “Shoot! Shoot!” at the TV. Evidently, that prompted a neighbor to call police. Minutes later, a handful of Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office deputies were at their doorstep.

35 Things Only People Who Grew Up In Small Towns Will Understand If you can relate to these experiences mentioned on Ask Reddit, you probably grew up in a small town.

My Give-A-Shit meter is broken. Yours on the other hand may not be. SNL is going to be back on the air with a special opening night.
“Saturday Night Live” has an interesting “thank you” offer for brave health-care workers: Free tickets to this week’s Season 46 in-studio premiere. Unsurprisingly, tickets earmarked for front-line medical personnel are still available for both Saturday’s afternoon dress rehearsal and late-night live show, which will feature former cast member Chris Rock and musical guest Megan Thee Stallion. Tickets for the public, however, have already been scooped up. It’s the first in-person program at 30 Rockefeller Center since the sketch comedy series shut down Studio 8H due to the coronavirus pandemic last spring. According to COVID-19 stipulations laid out on ticketing site 1iota, attendees can request two, seven, eight or nine tickets for people within their personal “social bubble.” That’s defined as “a group of people, related or unrelated, who have repeatedly entered into close contact (defined as less than 6 feet) with all others in that group, on multiple occasions prior to the night of the show.” The following guidelines and precautions also will need to be followed: All people in a “bubble” for whom tickets have been requested must come to the show, or no one in that group will be seated.
Audience members must take a self-administered lower nasal antigen test upon arrival, with results given before the show.
Temperature checks will be required at check-in.
Face coverings/masks will be required inside the building; no bandanas, gaiters or masks with vents will be allowed.
Anyone with a temperature of 100.4 or higher will not be admitted and their party also may not be allowed in.
What does Chocolate Jesus and his ghastly sidekick, Michelle, have to say about this? Netflix CEO on paying sky-high salaries: ‘The best are easily 10 times better than average’
In the first few years of Netflix, we were growing fast and needed to hire more software engineers. With my new understanding that high talent density would be the engine of our success, we focused on finding the top performers in the market. In Silicon Valley, many of them worked for Google, Apple, and Facebook — and they were being paid a lot. We didn’t have the cash to lure them away in any numbers. But, as an engineer, I was familiar with a concept that has been understood in software since 1968, referred to as the “rock-star principle.” The rock-star principle is rooted in a famous study that took place in a basement in Santa Monica, California. At 6:30 a.m., nine trainee programmers were led into a room with dozens of computers. Each was handed a manila envelope, explaining a series of coding and debugging tasks they would need to complete to their best ability in the next 120 minutes.

Man Puts “Tire Chains” on His Crocs So He Can Go “Off-Roading” in Them
Crocs, the slip-on classic clog with a rubbery, punctured twist, is the sort of cultural curiosity that is somehow both a meme and genuinely beloved at the same time. It’s a bestseller of a shoe but also an automatic “lol” when people see them. Which is it, dammit? Are those unisex tie-dye abominations the kooky dental assistant wears hilariously stupid? Or comfortable? Or… both? Can you wear something both ironically and unironically? That seems to be the Crocs classic conundrum. But why weigh ourselves down with what it means to own a pair of Crocs when instead we can just enjoy them however the hell we please. These aren’t some ridiculous $700 Nikes and we’re not sneakerheads.
Strong arm robbery charges for a stolen prosthetic leg. You bet it's Florida based.
The theft of a man’s prosthetic leg has resulted in strong-arm robbery charges, cops say. According to investigators, Larry Stothers, 41, accused the victim of stealing a backpack. So Stothers and a cohort, 31-year-old Jayson Rappa, allegedly confronted the man Saturday afternoon in Largo, Florida. “A fight occurred between all parties,” according to an arrest affidavit. “And in the course of the fight a prosthetic leg was taken from the victim.” The man whose leg was stolen fled the scene and sought police assistance. Officers arrested Stothers and Rappa about an hour later, and charged each man with strong-arm robbery, a felony. Stothers (left) and Rappa are pictured in the above mug shots. Court records do not indicate whether the victim’s leg was recovered.
Should it be the country's obligation? Or should local municipalities step up and save historic sites?
Acivil rights landmark in Mississippi, a Native American site in California and a public housing complex in Texas may have little in common at first glance, but a recent list brings them all together in the name of preservation. The National Trust for Historic Preservation has unveiled this year's list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. The nominations bring a sliver of hope to a diverse set of buildings, landscapes and historic neighborhoods, which would be destroyed or face irreparable damage without immediate advocacy.
Oh Shit! is right officer.
The FBI announced Thursday that a federal civil rights investigation into the fatal police shooting death of a 17-year-old white teen was being launched, in a case that demonstrates that police officers under duress do not pause to consider race. John Albers, an Overland Park, Kansas, teenager, was shot 13 times by police in 2018 as he backed a van out of the garage of his family home — his parents were not home at the time.
Suck it up
A 30-year-old Mexican man allegedly reported his own mother to the authorities for kicking him out of the house, because he didn’t want to get a job or at least help with chores. Last Wednesday, Mexican media reported the case of one Christian Uriel, a 30-year-old man who denounced his own mother and aunt to the before the Mexican Prosecutor’s Office, accusing them of assault and harassments. The young man claimed that he was beaten out of the house by the two women, who also threw water on him. What he failed to tell the authorities was that he had been living at his mother’s house for months, free of charge, without contributing to the family budget or even helping out with chores.

Police were dispatched to the scene after a call reporting a naked man gardening. Officers located the man who appeared to be in his mid-thirties, covered in feces and eating grass and leaves, police said.
David Stevens co-founded Admiral with his wife Heather in 1991. The company, headquartered in Wales, has become a huge international success. In March, Stevens announced his retirement from the company after nearly 30 years of service. This week he revealed he will leave a multi-million pound retirement farewell gift, which will be distributed among its 7,500 staff in Wales and 3,000 overseas workers. "Saying thank you to all Admiral staff in this way is the right thing to do," Stevens said. "Their hard work and dedication has allowed Admiral to grow from a start-up to over 11,000 staff worldwide. And all of this while remaining a great place to work. Thank you from myself and my wife to everyone at Admiral." Admiral was launched in Cardiff with a team of 57 people. The company now has offices in Swansea and Newport, with overseas offices in Spain, Italy, France, Canada, USA and India.

But dag nab it!!
Folks, the whole thing about heirlooms is kinda fun, but the whole point is that the ONLY advantage (can I stress that enough?) is that they come true to form from the seeds.
Men (and women, just cause) have been cross-pollinating and hybridizing for a reason.... disease resistance, insect resistance, nematode, etc..
Oh, and the flavor's been improved, largely, as has the seed content, also etc..
If you're not growing what your local extension people or uni's are saying has been consistent producers, you're missing out.
Heirlooms are fun, but that's about it. Be damned if we'd ever rely on them for a year's worth of produce.

Another one: you can tell who is from a small town when working in the "big city." When the fire engine or ambulance siren sounds, folks from small towns run to the windows to see what's going on.

A few years ago there was another incident where parents had called the police over a domestic incident with their son who had mental health problems. The cop made some comment like, "I don't have time for this" and shot the kid. It was commented on on this site because the kid was white and the incident got almost no news coverage. IIRC it happened in Georgia.

Down in Southern VA, left my unlocked truck running with dog inside and went back into store to straighten out billing error. I did not give a sh!t about the truck, but I trusted the dog would be OK.
I would NEVER do that in NOVA.

Why? (Heh!) Once upon a time, I took my car to the Honda Dealership in Hybla Valley (south of Alexandria, on Rt1). I just needed the State inspection. As I sat in the waiting room, a pretty blond female employee, looking very worried asked me if I came alone. I said yes. She says that someone got into my car, back in the garage area, and drove off (the mechanic was doing paper work and his back was turned.) So basically, in NoVA, you can have your car stolen from INSIDE a car dealership. I got the car back, eventually. Repaired and runs fine now. Happened last year.

When my aunt died, I only knew the time of the church service. I drove all night to get there and accidentally went to the (only) other church in town. A guy mowing the grass said to me, "Oh, Lois is over at the UCC church. Say, you're Janette's boy, aren't you?"

Imagine cancelling the debate on short notice.
Sadly, I don't think that's going to happen - Biden has been mostly resting for the last two weeks, I'm sure they have been shifting his sleeping schedule to get him somewhat functional in the evening, and with a dose of stimulants, the odds are high that he'll do somewhat OK.
I'm sure his debate prep has consisted of reminding him to speak into complete sentences and not get angry. Chris Wallace will run interference for him if he gets into trouble, of course.
And I agree with JJ Sefton that this will be the only debate - if Joe survives this one, they will announce that OrangeManBad and refuse to do the other two debates.
Still, there has to be some trepidation among Biden's handlers - they don't dare put him out in front of actual voters, lest he be heckled and explode; and Joe can only do "interviews" where the questions are known in advance, and the answers are put up on the teleprompter. They don't even dare let local media interview him on the rare occasions that he is allowed out of his basement and travels somewhere, for fear that a local media person might ask an unscripted question.
It will be fun to watch.

Growing up north of Puyallup in the unincorporated area of Edgewood, a few miles away, the road grid was based on the Puyallup city limits.
A few years after moving off to UW, they changed it to the grid based upon Pierce county.
2225 38th Ave NE became 92xx 118th Ave E, something like that.
To this day, Even though they stayed in that place another 10 years after the change, I couldn't repeat it if you gave me a million bucks. That was over 40 years ago.
But I'll never forget 2225 38th Ave NE.
Oh, and they even changed the Zip Code. Just to mess with me.

Miles Davis Kind of Blue was the first jazz album I ever bought. I've probably heard all his stuff by now. I even grew to like the fusion stuff. Not a guy you'd like to hang out with, but he knew how to work the valve bone.
On YouTube, Massimo Casulini had a great jazz channel, but it got deleted. Still, if you search for that name, you'll find enough good jazz to listen to forever.
For classical fans, fyrexianoff has a huge collection from composers you never ever heard of before. Adds to it daily.

There's a video on YouTube of the Birmingham ABC affiliate's coverage of the tornado outbreak in 2011 that just wrecked that whole part of the state. It's amazing because of the local weatherman's coverage. When tracking the tornadoes' paths, he didn't say crap like "the tornado could be anywhere in this polygon we've drawn on the radar screen," he said things like "it looks like the tornado is heading along Wilderness Ridge Road; it's probably pretty close to where the Missionary Baptist Church is, and I think there used to be that VFW hall right nearby..." so that the locals would know where the storm was and how close they were to it.
I believe the station won an Emmy for that coverage.

Enough to steal the airbags, seat belts, anything laying around (a half gallon of cheap washer fluid, a phone recharger, etc), drain the gas tank and washer fluid, and leave the car on the street in SW DC. They arrested him because he took one license plate but not the other. He disappeared for a while but the arrested him in Florida, in rehab. He was kind enough to switch all my radio stations to latin music. Obviously an ethnic German.

He was offering his "I will leave the internet forever for a million bucks" offer at half-price, however.
Possibly, given his famed aversion to politics, he's decided to take the next month and a half off.
OTOH, he seemed to really like the old car ID series that he was mostly doing on his Twitter feed.

Coffee. Specifically, Coffee on the Clark and Lewis Expedition, 1803-1806. I wondered reading a John Bakeless book on the journey, whether Americans drank Coffee, or Tea back then. So I looked it up. They did bring Coffee, green beans, and records show 50 pounds. Now that sounds like a lot, but there were 30+ members of the permanent party who left St Louis and another 20 or so up to the wintering quarters at the Mandan villages in North Dakota (brr!!)
And apparently they still had some left in the inventory at Ft. Clatsop, Oregon a year and a half later or whatever. I'm not sure 50 pounds would last me a year, so I don't get it. Maybe it was a typo in transcription, and they took 500 pounds?

Honda Dealership in Hybla Valley (south of Alexandria, on Rt1). I just
needed the State inspection. As I sat in the waiting room, a pretty
blond female employee, looking very worried asked me if I came alone. I
said yes. She says that someone got into my car, back in the garage
area, and drove off (the mechanic was doing paper work and his back was
turned.) So basically, in NoVA, you can have your car stolen from INSIDE
a car dealership. I got the car back, eventually. Repaired and runs
fine now. Happened last year.

At which point it will be Harris 2020 unless someone decides to jump back in as a write in.
My prediction was that the LP will once again completely fail to capitalize on the failure of mainstream politics, and will still get 15% of the vote.
At which point they will declare victory over the minority caucus clamoring for a separation from the Liberal affiliations of the last 40 years and cement their position as "The third largest political party in the US"

It isn't hard to become a weather spotter for the National Weather Service, if anyone here is interested in that type of thing. You just need to take the SKYWARN training, which can be done online, and they'll give you an ID number so when you experience weather they'd be interested in knowing, you'll know how to contact them.

And there is the answer to your coffee question.
----
Well no, green beans actually lose moisture when roasting. About 15%-20% maybe. So if their figures can believed, they had the equivalent of closer to 40 pounds of roasted bean coffee. For over 2 years?
I am wondering if the 50 pounds of coffee was the personal stash, of maybe Lewis. If they were going to bring coffee and issue it out, everybody drank it, it would have lasted a few weeks at most.
The enlisted men were ordinarily issued Whiskey, about a "gill" or 4 to 5 fl. ounces, sometimes after breakfast, or a particularly tough day, or holidays like the 4th of July.

Coffee was something of a luxury before Arbuckle's came up with a way to seal the flavor in roasted beans. That's what made coffee practical.
Before that, it had to be shipped and stored green, and roasted right before use. And that process varied, of course. Piss poor in many cases.
Arbuckle's allowed coffee to be roasted properly and then shipped out.

Everyone makes such a big deal about how complex it is, and maybe it really is, but IMHO it just sounds like middle-of-the-road enjoyable jazz-rock fusion. I guess it was more challenging of a listen in 1970.

It was pretty groundbreaking at the time. In a Silent Way was just before that and is good too and then later on Jack Johnson. After that he got really loud and did a lot of blow; some people thought it was outstanding.
I never was a big Miles fan but I could appreciate what he was doing from a distance.

It's not really a major deal. A cast iron frying pan works fine. I roast enough for a week or so at a time in the oven on a cookie sheet till milk chocolate color. It actually improves in flavor after a few days, then it starts to get stale after a week or two or three. I'm not a coffee snob, anything from C-Rat freeze dried to Jamaican Blue mt or Kona is fine with me, but I gotta have it.
Most town of any size had coffee importers and roasters at one time in the 19th and early 20th century. World War I killed that for some reason, kind of the way prohibition killed local breweries. Apparently it takes 100 years to recover an industry. The hipsters think they discovered good beer and coffee.

No, he'll be awful, but like Brit Hume tried to suggest tonight, all he has to do is drool an d not miss the cup and, because Trump set the bar so low - lo and behold, he wins! So you see, even Biden's imbecilic behavior doesn't hurt him and, bonus, its all Trump's fault! Hume is a retard, of course, because real people outside of the press really aren't as unthinking as he hopes, but we might as well get prepared for "drooling is the new thinking man's move!" because its coming.

Mozart was a true genius; he wrote everything in one take with no editing, including his symphonies, and anything he wrote is eminently listenable. And the history of some of his operas is incredible. He made fun of the very patrons who paid him to write the operas. That's why the cheap seats, with the hoi polloi of the day, were very raucous with laughter when his operas were performed. The 'little people' got his well-aimed humor.

Perry Mason on MeTV has come back around full circle. They're running the very first episode, S1E1, the Case of the Restless Redhead.
Early Perry was much more "noir" than later on, and Perry played a little closer to the line and pulled dirty tricks much more than the straight arrow of later seasons.

Do not know how to respond to that other than to bring up the fact that he was Autistic...high functioning given, and maybe a reason why so many people were put off by him.
His later despair of untreated Schizophrenia and finally getting beat to death during an episode outside a bar one night still does not lessen his mastery of the fretless bass within the jazz community.
That's all I got...

I haven't seen much here about the Rock endorsing Biden and his idiotic reasoning. He says he supports Biden because he's s kind man (or something to that effect) and i forgot about how good and kind men spend decades smearing a good guy as a drunk and a murderer, since Biden can't accept that his wife caused her own death and the death of her child (while almost killing said innocent truck driver) this idea that Biden is a sweet old man is another of the biggest hoaxes in politics. Look when he gets to act when he thinks he's in private, he's a complete piece of trash. We also have multiple corroborated accounts of him being a sexual assault assailant, and who knows what else he and rapist Chris Dodd do behind closed doors. This "nice guy" is reaching Bill Clonton levels of excrement.

Great bass line in "Birdland". Play that loud on your speakers.
Jaco died, homeless and on the street being a heroin addict, if I remember correctly.
And who was the bass player for Weather Report before Jaco?
I think it was Miroslav Vitus.
And I was watching "Play Misty for Me" the other night, and they went to the Monterrey Jazz Festival, watching Cannonball Adderly, and Josef Zawinul was on for a brief second as his keyboard player

Very true. The brain doesn't come with an owners manual.
To me, the logical amongst us have an upper hand here because you can try variable after variable to find an answer that works. It's an effort but worth it.
I've found that reduction works well. Get it down to basic human emotions and why we feel them. Then accept it, and decide that's the end of it. Move on.

Yes. Why back in 2012 they did the same thing to Mitt Romney.
Oh, and Trump could also say that Biden spent 37 years in the Senate and 8 years as VP and yet he's complaining about Trump's tax returns, which are really the result of an exceptionally complicated tax code. Biden could have worked to fix this problem during all those years, but instead he aided and abetted in keeping it complicated.

I think it was Miroslav Vitus.
Miroslav was the original bass player but Alphonso Johnson replaced him on Mysterious Traveller playing Fender bass as Zawinul wanted to go in a more funk direction. Wayne Shorter started getting marginalized then too.
I think Miroslav still releases cds on ECM.

He played tough guys on Jack Webb produced police dramas. Also a US cavalry commander in the old west. I can't listen to any of it, knowing he was a total flamer. Bigoted? Maybe, but I've had enough of the BS, the fags included.

'heard' on one listening. It takes an investment of effort to sit down
and pay attention to the music. It might not happen until the seventh or
eighth time through that you actually get it. Sort of like staring at
one of those third eye illusions until it resolves into the 3D figure
hidden in the seemingly random patterns. No doubt jazz has the same
quality, but I never could force myself to sit through it long enough.

In all seriousness, go get Home Defense from Lowe's or Home Depot. Spray that around the foundation of your house and along the line where the foundation meets the house. It's a line of death so anything trying to crawl in will die.
Scorpions, spiders, roaches, ants. Kills them all.
I spray that in the spring and the fall. Window sills, foundation, garage, door jambs.
Does the trick.

I listened to Julian Bream a lot. He would use the period correct guitars to play the stuff, and you just go back in time and think this is how they must have heard it. Some of that stuff was frigging hard to learn, sooo much going on.
This is one of my favs, written in the mid 1500's. He's using a vihuela and he frigging wails. If this isn't how it sounded then i would be surprised.

It's supposed to be harmless to humans and pets to ingest. You don't want to breath it though. You can't put it outside because once it gets wet, it's worthless.
It basically coats the bugs as they walk through it and they immediately start losing water because it sucks the moisture out of them.
Great for roaches. Place it anywhere they can get in. Light dusting with a bulb wand.

Roaches find boric acid lethal for that reason as well. (Too abrasive and causes them to lose water. If they eat it, it produces gas, which kills them because they can't get rid of gas in the digestive tract.)

That's why the Dems don't care if Biden stays in his basement and plays with his poop. They don't have to run a decent campaign or a coherent candidate - because they are cheating on such a massive scale it won't matter. And they know the media won't call them out on anything. The Project Veritas video should be the top story today, but anytime a big Dem scandal emerges,whether it's this or Hunter Biden's corruption, the media immediately comes up with a fake Trump scandal - look, he didn't pay taxes!
Our country is being destroyed by these stupid, greedy, deluded assholes and nobody's doing anything to stop it. I feel like I'm in the back seat of a car driven by a lunatic and he's headed for a cliff and I can't stop him or jump out of the car.

Diatomaceous earth is the bomb-diggity for killing bugs but get the food grade stuff if you are going to buy it. The diatomaceous earth for pool filters will not work as well to kill creepy crawlies (and is bad for your animals/small children if they accidentally ingest it).

A bone flute from the ice ages has been found, and from the hole positions researchers can tell it was set up for a pentatonic scale. The main melody of Stairway is pentatonic, as are a very large number of well known tunes.

Stink bugs are awful this year, here. It seems everything had a good breeding year.
Posted by: Evasiveboat42 at September 29, 2020 12:18 AM (Rz2Nc)
--------------------------
We're plagued with them around here. The worst is when they get in the house, then wake up and decide to keep you company in the dead of winter. Last year I took some advice and started spraying around all the windows and openings in my house with a mix of 50/50 cider vinegar and lemon juice. They can't stand the smell (turnabout being fair play and all). Last year, I think I only had about 5 stinkbugs show up all winter. It really worked. For the ones that do get in, whack 'em with one of those electric flyswatters that looks like a tennis racket. Kills them deader than Lincoln before they can fart all over everything. They're just gross. Even chickens won't eat them, and a chicken will eat anything.
What I'm finding odd this year is that, while there are a lot of katydids, I have yet to see one single grasshopper.
Also, it's the end of September, and there are dandelions springing up in my yard. I have never, ever seen that before.

I never had an urge to play piano. I started playing guitar when i was 7, because my father played, and I never really had an urge to do anything else. I can play just about any instrument if left alone with it for awhile and figure out where the notes are, but I would just rather play guitar. My cousin took piano lessons forever, he's actually very good, but he's the only one on either side of the family that plays piano.

Anyway, it looks like daily death numbers are now down into single digits for Texas, from about 250 per day at the peak in early to mid July. New numbers of cases are not dropping as dramatically, but the divergence between the two curves now is indicative of a different age group being the location of most new cases, and thus they are mostly asymptomatic or mild symptoms, with very low hospitalization rates.
Long story short, it looks like the numbers are saying that the Pandemic is mostly over in NY, Texas, and Florida (at least).

But it doesn't touch a chord as to the visceral dark menace and overwhelming power which is the Disturbed cover(s) of the same.
Take your choice. The official "video" production, or the "live" (with a wee bit of autotuned, due to flu) version on the Conan O'Brien show.

Emperor Jay Inslee of WA bragged when the shutdown first started, the University of Washington scientists had figured this all out, and around 2.2 million were going to die. Unless we shut everything down and hid in our homes.
He has backed off recently, not specifically quoting those scientists, but he still says "science" a lot.
Except, to this day, he has never shown his work. Not once.
I think Jay is kinda sad so relatively few died. Nobody tell him that in the case of 95% of the reported deaths, people had an average of 2.6 co-morbidites. It will make him feel even worse.

We're just past 200k deaths *with* covid, which includes quite a few 'assumed' individuals. You're probably thinking of that quack Birx who insisted we had our own models separate from the discredited UK model (which gave the same numbers, so it's dubious) that at one point claimed we were facing 2.5 million dead *from* covid, and then after some curve flattening, they insisted the best case if we did everything they demanded (the next week they said we hadn't, so it no longer applied) was 250k dead *from* covid.
As the death count is down to a crawl, if we get there it's by Democrat "death stuffing".

Joe Biden has spent the last 39 years in the Senate. Writing legislation, including the tax laws.
Donald Trump hired expensive attorneys and accountants to navigate and deal with those tax laws. Successfully, I might add. I am not aware of a single IRS charge levied against Trump or the Trump Corporation.
Joe Biden's tax laws. Donald Trump wrote no tax laws.
Yet it is Trump that has somehow taken advantage of the system, according to Progda. One Lefty clown on TV a couple of hours ago kept puking out "Trump only paid $750 in a whole year, less than taxi drivers and nurses and blah blah blah."
It's real estate tax law, simpletons. None of them would understand a tenth of it.

Don't drink too much before trying to read his stuff, it's short-hand/cryptic "explanation" of what in some cases is fairly advanced statistical work - but he has a website where he's put most of his stuff in longer format form.

Such notwithstanding: SHOOT THE BASTARDS.
save for some mercy for the cuter ones that accept food from the hand along the Pacific Coast Highway turn-outs and rest stops.
Just as one would not shoot an un-tattooed, extraordinarily cute hooker.

"Cases" in this epidemic have been defined as never before - as a positive test. Not sick, not symptomatic, usually not even aware of the infection - or, *past* infection.
Muldoon had guest a post last week explaining the PCR test that is being used for all these numbers of "cases". The process involves "amplifying" the genetic material to make it detectable/ID-ifiable. To date it's been pretty well established that anything past 30 "cycles" of amplification = not a reliable detection of infectious virus. Most likely what's found in these situations is genetic "debris" of previous infection or exposure (up to 3 months before).
But of course numbers of "cases", so defined, are not interesting or meaningful. What is?
Hospitalization, or, for an even wider look, emergency room visits presenting a given set of symptoms (CLI = COVID-like illness). CLI is falling, and is of course not "confirming" the "case" numbrers - because they're not true or meaningful cases. Last I saw, the guy who's following the university "epidemic" of meaningless or false "cases" had found 2 hospitalizations, from over 40K college student "positives".
No surprise. People under 50 face less risk from C19 than from flu, in general. Under 30? Significantly less. College age and below? The other day Trump said something about kids and young people not being affected by C19, and he was right, it's obviously true. I think his buffoonish, increasingly out of line and incompetent CDC director attempted to "correct" the president, but that's not possible because he was simply observing established and obvious facts.
Sweden made no changes for schooling, for kids 15 and under. 1.8M kids. Death toll = 0.

It's getting pretty deep this cycle, what with the vote buying in MN (at $800 per vote, and up to 70k bought votes, we are talking about some serious fucking cash, over $50 million!)...
In Houston, there are claims that up to 700,000 mail in ballots are being falsifed; Dallas just indicted 4 people on 134 felony voter fraud counts total...
In NC, people with Dem registrations are receiving up to 3 mail in ballots...
CA has legal ballot harvesting, which cost us 5 Representative seats in Orange County last cycle...
Trump's claim, labeled another of his many lies, that he actually might have won the popular vote in 2016 is looking a lot more like the truth to me. That there were 3.5 million fraudulent votes.
We are a first world country with a 3rd world voting system.

Speaking of the old cars on Perry Mason, I love 'em. There used to be a lot more convertibles -- a shit ton of 'em, and '50s and '60s California was the place to drive 'em.
Something I noticed on Perry, and other '50s era shows, like Peter Gunn, is how it was common to park at the curb, and the driver would just easily slide over and exit the vehicle from the passenger side. Tons of room to do that, with not much of a transmission hump apparently.

Jazz covers such a wide range of musical styles that it's pretty much impossible to not like all jazz. Big band swing is jazz, after all. A lot of folks who "don't like" jazz simply don't like some particular subset of a jazz, and conflate that with the edifice as a whole.

1990s. Spyro Gyra and The Rippingtons.
Both a bit similar on the radio. Sunday Morning Jazz on the FM station.
In concert though? Spyro Gyra was a snooze.
The Rippingtons were a virtuoso Rock Concert of every Jazz Riff cranked to Eleventy, and beyond.
Didn't matter the instrument or solo. They killed it.
Beyond that though?
David Benoit. I watched him destroy a Yamaha Concert Grand, in Concert.
Rocking out on a Piano, was THE understatement of his show. Jerry Lee Lewis would have hidden in shame.
You only THOUGH you have heard Linus and Lucy played.

And just an hour or two ago, on citizenfreepress.com, James O"Keefe just dropped the second tape about the vote buying in Omar's Somali community. 13+ minutes long.
https://tinyurl.com/y5fe3bwo
There are actual payoffs happening in real time, a $200 and an $800 payment for single ballots.
And it seems the payoffs are well-known in the Somali Minnesota community.
"Nobody would say that Ilhan Omar isn't part of this," said Omar Jamal, a Somali community Insider and the Chairman of the Somali Watchdog group. "Unless you're from a different planet, but if you live in this universe, I think everybody knows it."
"Are they afraid?"
"Until someone gets arrested, nobody's afraid".
Jamal said Ali Isse Gainey, a senior Ilhan Omar staffer, is at the center of the vote-buying scheme.
And lots more on the video, part 2.
Prohibition-era Chicago was much more lawful.

The hump was there, its just the cars are so damn big you just glide over it. the bench seats were taller, and you didn't sit as low as you do in cars these days. I look at all these old cars a few times a week at the cruise nights. These things are frigging huge. My roadrunner is 17 feet long, and that was considered a mid size back then. The true land yachts are frigging epic, you can lay down in the back seat. This one dude has some huge ass late 50's caddy, and I think its 19 or 20 feet long, and its a frigging 2 door.

I'm trying to remember. The earliest car I had much awareness of was our old '74 LTD. You could slide from one side to the other but it wasn't easy for an adult, IIRC.
I can vaguely remember the one before that, a '67 Galaxy 500 but I can't remember how slidable it was.
Now, the '72 F-100, which we kept well into the '80s, you could easily slide over. It was a column shift 3-speed transmission. It had a low transmission hump. It was there, but it wasn't as pronounced as the cars.

Well, I remember listening to a "History of Jazz" series on Alberta public radio many years ago, and they claimed the defining characteristic of jazz is "collective improvization". But that doesn't necessarily mean the entire band is just making shit up, although some "free jazz" sure sounds like it. More traditional jazz always started from a piece of composed music, or a known popular song, and never really lost sight of it.
There have been many, many bands play "Muskrat Ramble", both instrumental, and with vocals, but it's always recognizable as Muskrat Ramble:

In my senior year in HS, and this would've been the '84-'85 school year, I drove that '74 LTD to school. Just a few miles up the road from where I am now, I was coming home and stopped making a left hand turn.
This dingbat came up and rammed me from behind, not paying attention. I can remember that well, the "time slowing down" perception, the impact even, and the forces slamming me forward seemed to drag out for a long time.
Anyway, she was driving some little Jap shitbox, and smashed that thing to pieces. Front end ruined, engine all smashed up. Totalled.
The '74 LTD? The rear tag hung slightly below the bumper and it bent that up under the rear bumper.
Oh, and the right hand passenger door always had a little squeak at a certain spot when it opened and closed. That was gone after that. So net plus for the '74.

Yes, in Ken Burn's documentary "Jazz" the artists I think pretty much all agreed that that's what they loved about playing. And it's really exciting for the audience as well, especially if they're jazzmen or real afficianados themselves. Magical, at times, even for me.

I had my '64 VW Bug painted bright purple after a crash. It was 'known'.
It being a somewhat small town and all, the police knew my address. This led to a few awkward moments.

yeah, tell me about it. I could have bought a 1968 Hemi roadrunner for $1800. This was maybe 1982-83. It was a little shabby, but not too bad. I missed a hemi cuda for $1500, it needed paint was all prepped for the paint job. Another friend bought a 1970 plum crazy purple convertible challenger with a white gut and roof with a 440 6 barrel. He paid $2100. I don't even want to know what that thing is worth right now.

I was looking up Barnaby cars, and got distracted by some other fun facts.
Buddy Ebsen was 64 when Barnaby *started*. He would go to sleep a lot on set, including in that '73 LTD. They say it wasn't a problem, he'd easily wake up, do the scene, then go back to sleep until it was time to do his line again.
And they were actually planning some Barnaby Meets Uncle Jed show, where he would play both Uncle Jed and Barnaby Jones. It never went to production, but they were planning it at one time. Maybe that was for the best.

That had to have been a custom job. There certainly were customizers in that era who did that sort of thing. Car record players as a factory accessory or after-market really didn't come about until the mid '50's, and they were never very popular. Very scarce and valuable accessory now.

I wanted to get another as a driver and make mine an A12 version because I have the 440 6 barrel engine, but its a numbers matching car and I'm a little squeamish about yanking the original engine.

Well, good customizers took pride in making their work look like the factory did it, especially in a case like that, where the car has simply had features added. If the record player was of the type made for car use, it would have to have been added later than '49, because they didn't exist then. The 45 RPM player just got introduced to the home market in that year, IIRC, and they all ran off house current.
I have some old electronics magazines with articles on the "new sensation" of in-car record players, circa 1957.

Fascinating. It didn't catch on, but the in-car record player this guy invented was a marvel. They invented a new record format. They used "ultra-microgrooves" with a speed of 16 2/3 RPM, allowing for a 7" record to hold as much as full sized 33 1/3 RPM LP.
They managed to mechanically isolate the turntable enough along with increased down pressure on the needle to get it to play smoothly under most normal road conditions.

Ah -- reading some more they did have problems with it skipping. The inventor had tuned the turntable suspension with Chryslers suspension. When Chrysler started marketing it, they put it in Plymouths and Dodges which had less cushy suspensions and didn't bother to re-tune, and they had problems.
Also, CBS was against it, fearing that would cause radio ad revenue to drop if people could listen to records in their cars.

Reading some more, that original "Highway HiFi" system with the 7" 16 2/3 RPM format was discontinued in '59. They produced a total of 42 records in that format for mass sale.
Chrysler wasn't ready to give up the idea, and it replaced it with the "Auto Victrola" which played a stack of 45s, which is what has been mentioned above.
It suffered from skip and jump problems while driving, but when parked, it was pretty good.

1) take the right triangle in question and three duplicates and arrange them in a square, an a-side and a b-side of a triangle making up each side of the square. The length of each side is thus a+b.
2) the four c-sides of the triangles form, by examination, a square within the exterior square so constructed. That is, the interior figure has four equal sides (c) and four equal angles.
3) the interior square thus has area c-squared.
4) by examination, the exterior square has area c-squared plus 4 times the area of the right triangle in question. Since the area of each of those 4 triangles is (ab/2), the exterior square has area (c-squared + 2ab).
5. algebraically, the area of the exterior square is (a+b)(a+b), which is a-squared + 2ab + b-squared.
6. by (4.) and (5.), rearranging, c-squared + 2ab = a-squared + b-squared + 2ab.
7. Subtracting the common term, c-squared = a-squared + b-squared. Q.E.D.

So 8.97% have tested a real immune response to a disease. So thats about:

not sure why he got tackled and cuffed, the police seem to be actively trying to loose support of the tax payers

It does look bad. I kind of get why you tackle though. If someone is thought to be dangerous, even if he seems to be coming out voluntarily you don't know of there is something in his pockets. Like a knife which he could pull out and use on himself or the cops. But yeah he does look to be very calm and not in any way a threat that justifies doing that in this situation.

Trump has been setting Narratives on Sundown. He never expected Joe would take a drug test, nor a cognitive test.
But at some point, he will needle Joe on them, to try and provoke his angry side. It wouldn't surprise me if Trump pulls out a recent drug screening he underwent, flashes it around, and sez
C'mon, man, where's yours?
And then mentions his perfect score on the cognitive test. Then quotes Joe on his 'I take cognitive tests all the time' BS. Maybe ask Joe for the names sex and age of his grandchildren.
Trying to set ole Joe off like a box of .22LR in a campfire.
With the whole world watching.

at least 2 cops had a rifle trained on him
Parscale was shirtless and in shorts so quick draw a knife or pistol from a shorts pocket is unlikely
this was all based on the wife's comments to cops, Parscale never got a chance to tell his side
sure they told him to get on the ground 5x, but in the course of 4 seconds

I'm always amazed to consider how much one high school dropout in Baltimore, Birmingham, Atlanta, etc costs taxpayers in secondary non-crime expenses.
Three baby mommas at $250k or so annually each, and then those three have kids within 20 years and you're up to a million dollars. Then THOSE three have kids...

The way they shouted "get down!" AS they charged him reminded me of the old Houston Cop slogan - "Stop!" BANG!!! "or we'll shoot!"
that takedown was the kind of idiocy that give cops a bad name everywhere. Clearly they had planned it out beforehand, and so onsite they executed the plan *even* though theree was no rational excuse for doing it. Other than "hey I'm Billy Badass! And I'm gonna Take You Down!!!"

Are they going to put him in the limo with a bag over his head so he can't tell that it's not actually "morning"?
I can see that they really couldn't not show up for the first debate. But I'm trying to imagine his medical team trying to hit the sweet spot between making him coherent and not killing him on stage and I have to remember that they really do not think like decent, ordinary people.

One or the other of the Cuomos (why do we have two? who needs two of them?) is still yammering about how it's really the European virus, because it came from Europe, so Trump is a big dumb dummy for shutting down flights from China but not Europe.
Must've been glaringly obvious at the time, huh? You probably had it all figured out. So what actions did you chuckleheads take to prevent the spread of the "European virus"? Quarantine all the sick people in nursing homes and let all the prisoners out of jail?
Is that what Science™ told you to do?

These are the mantras I used when family would get freaked by the numbers:
A positive test is not a case.
A case is not always "sick".
Sick usually doesn't mean dead.
There are 303 million people in the U.S.
Do the math.
