The Quotes of The Day

Quote I

“I know that justice is slow, sometimes elusive, and sometimes never comes. The Justice Deptartment will be unwavering in its pursuit of equal justice under law.” US Attorney General Merrick Garland


Quote II

“I was so shocked. It’s such a big amount. It’s not like I can say, ‘Oh, for the next month or two, I’ll dial down my expenses and I’ll save $16,000.’” Louis Goffinet, a middle school science teacher in Connecticut


Quote III

“The MI Bureau of Elections recommends that the #UnlockMichigan petition be certified. With over 460,000 VALID signatures, it’s not even a close call…. @GovWhitmer maybe now you’ll try working WITH the legislature, instead of governing by decree?” Unlock Michigan spokesman Fred Wszolek

Quote IV

“Teenagers have been having fights including fights involving knives for eons,” “We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene & using a weapon against one of the teenagers. Y’all need help. I mean that sincerely.” Longtime activist Bree Newsome


Quote V

"As soon as the supply disruptions sort themselves out and everything gets back to normal, we expect a major correction in prices," "But right now, if you're producing lumber in the US South -- or anywhere for that matter, but particularly in the US South, where your log cost hasn't come up -- it's very profitable."Joshua Zaret, a senior analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence


Quote VI

The United States could go to zero tomorrow. I mean, we can’t, but if you figuratively speaking, could go to zero, we’d still have a problem. The world would still have a problem. If China went to zero tomorrow with the United States, we’d still have a problem. So, every country has to come to the table. This is the single biggest multilateral, global negotiation that the world has ever needed, and the stakes could not be higher because, I mean, we hear people talk about this being existential. For many people on the planet, it already is.”U.S. special presidential envoy for climate John Kerry

So when the Great Easter Hamster Fire of '21 occurred I was out of state visiting one of my former tax exemptions. Needless to say, I had a majority of my ONTs partially completed before the tragic event.

Here is some of the material I had for you. To be honest with you I'm not sure anymore how much of this might have been presented. Hopefully you'll enjoy or you can jump to the bottom where there is Fresh ONT Pickings.

On this day: 5 Apr 1998
British drummer Cozy Powell (Colin Flooks) was killed when his car smashed into crash barriers on the M4 motorway near Bristol, England. Powell had worked with the Jeff Beck Group, Whitesnake, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Brian May, Peter Green and the ELP spin-off Emerson, Lake, and Powell. Powell, known as one of the most driving drummers in rock, had also had hits as a solo artist, including Dance WithThe Devil and The Man In Black, and had fronted his own band, Cozy Powell's Hammer. via thisdayinmusic.com

On this day: 5 Apr 1994
Kurt Cobain committed suicide by shooting himself in the head at his home in Seattle. Cobain's body wasn't discovered until April 8, by an electrician who had arrived to install a security system, who initially believed that Cobain was asleep, until he saw the shotgun pointing at his chin. A suicide note was found that said, "I haven't felt the excitement of listening to as well as creating music, along with really writing . . . for too many years now". A high concentration of heroin and traces of Valium were found in Cobain's body. His death was officially ruled as suicide by a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head. via thisdayinmusic.com

The Quotes Of The Day


Quote I

Man, I think most white people and black people are great people. I really believe that in my heart. But I think our system is set up where our politicians, whether they are Republicans are Democrats are designed to make us not like each other so they can keep their grasp of money and power. They divide and conquer. Charles Barkley

OK, The New Stuff

Mankind is imperfect. There will always be prejudice. There will always be hate. This is not an endorsement of those actions. However, our country has made great strides in race relations. It's the politicians of the left who continue to agitate the situation to keep troubles fomenting. Take for example the loudmouth Rep. from NYC.

“It’s not justice because justice is George Floyd going home tonight to be with his family,” she said, continuing to list off a series of examples:

Justice is Adam Toledo getting tucked in by his mom tonight. Justice is when you’re pulled over, there not being a gun that’s part of that interaction because you have a headlight out. Justice is your school system not having or being part of a school-to-prison pipeline. Justice is a municipality and a government that does not — because it trickles down right? — that does not value military and armaments more than it healthcare, and education, and housing.


So justice is Adam Toledo being tucked in at night by his mom. With all due respect Congress woman Cortez, how could his mom tuck him in bed when he was running the streets of Chicago at 2:30AM with a firearm?

On March 29, just after 2:30 AM, Chicago’s ShotSpotter alert system detected eight or nine gunshots in the West Side, largely Latino, neighborhood of Little Village, where gangs like the Latin Kings and Two Six have made gunplay a regular part of life. Chicago police officer Eric Stillman and his partner sped toward the gunshots once they received the ShotSpotter alert, doubtless hoping to nab the perpetrators and spare the community additional carnage. When they arrived on the scene, almost immediately after those shots were fired, they happened upon two individuals. One of them—who we now know to be 13-year-old Adam Toledo—took off on foot and, at one point, pulled a gun with his right hand. Stillman gave chase, and the world saw what happened next—at least the part highlighted (and, in one case, deceptively edited) by media outlets, many of which elided the actual events of Toledo’s shooting.

The immediate cause of Toledo’s death was the bullet fired by Officer Stillman. But it’s worth examining how a 13-year-old boy ended up in a full sprint through a dark alley at 2:30 AM with a gun in his hand and a police officer on his tail.

Start a few minutes before the shooting. Though it hasn’t gotten much attention, a video compilation that the Chicago Police Department released includes footage that seems to show Toledo walking with a young man before one (or both) fired the eight or nine shots at a passing vehicle near the alley where the police encountered Toledo. Exactly who pulled the trigger remains unclear (the footage is grainy), though CNN reported last Friday, citing prosecutors, that both Toledo’s hand, and the gloves of the man he was with, tested positive for gunshot residue. According to police, that man is a 21-year-old named Ruben Roman, who was arrested at the scene for allegedly obstructing Officer Stillman as he gave chase.

Over the years while yours truly has been hosting The ONT there has been commentary about avoiding jury duty. Although for some of us it is our reluctant civic duty. But if you do get selected here is a sure fire way to get excused. Pronto.

A juror in the horrific dismemberment death of Florida woman Nicole Montalvo, 33, was kicked off of the trial on Tuesday morning for getting shuteye in court. Prosecutors voiced concern that the juror missed testimony against the defendants, the victim’s estranged husband Christopher Otero-Rivera, 33, and his father Angel Luis Rivera, 64. After that, the judge claimed to see the juror fall asleep Monday afternoon.

What's our science course tonight? How many bubbles are there in a glass of beer?

“How Many CO2 Bubbles in a Glass of Beer?”

After pouring beer into a glass, streams of little bubbles appear and start to rise, forming a foamy head. As the bubbles burst, the released carbon dioxide gas imparts the beverage’s desirable tang. But just how many bubbles are in that drink? By examining various factors, researchers reporting in ACS Omega estimate between 200,000 and nearly 2 million of these tiny spheres can form in a gently poured lager.

Worldwide, beer is one of the most popular alcoholic beverages. Lightly flavored lagers, which are especially well-liked, are produced through a cool fermentation process, converting the sugars in malted grains to alcohol and carbon dioxide. During commercial packaging, more carbonation can be added to get a desired level of fizziness. That’s why bottles and cans of beer hiss when opened and release micrometer-wide bubbles when poured into a mug. These bubbles are important sensory elements of beer tasting, similar to sparkling wines, because they transport flavor and scent compounds. The carbonation also can tickle the drinker’s nose. Gérard Liger-Belair had previously determined that about 1 million bubbles form in a flute of champagne, but scientists don’t know the number created and released by beer before it’s flat. So, Liger-Belair and Clara Cilindre wanted to find out.


Moar science. The older you get, the easier the hangovers are to deal with.

As you get older, you may have found hangovers have gone from something you could laugh off with a McDonald's to a three day event.

But despite the painful experiences we've all suffered first-hand, an expert study has found that "hangover severity declines with age".

Looking at feedback collected from 761 people with an age range of 18 to 94 years old, it says that when participants consumed the same amount of booze, older people suffered less the following day.

It put this partly down to a decline in pain sensitivity as we age, hinting that we simply get better at dealing with it as we get older.

American rock, blues and country singer-guitarist Lonnie Mack died of natural causes in hospital near his log-cabin home, seventy miles east of Nashville, Tennessee. In the early 1960s, he was a "pioneer" in virtuoso rock guitar soloing whose recordings were pivotal to the emergence of the electric guitar as a lead voice in rock music. For this, it has been said that he launched the era of "modern rock guitar". He scored the hit single instrumentals, 'Memphis' and 'Wham!' via thisdayinmusic.com

Genius Award Winners will be Genius Award Winners until their peckers weigh a pound.

Future pranksters might want to take note: faking your own kidnapping for laughs is never a good idea.

According to KAGS, Vincent Oggero, of College Station, Texas, learned this lesson the hard way after being charged with filing a false police report late last week. The incident occurred on February 11, when Oggero reportedly tried to pull a prank on his friends as they were leaving a restaurant.

The joke? A terrifying message written on their receipt, alleging that he was a victim of kidnapping. After he and his party left, restaurant staff found Oggero's note, which read, "I NEED HELP I got kidnapped" in addition to a phone number. Presumably, the 19-year-old Oggero did not imagine his prank would lead to such serious repercussions.

35 So when my 9 year old nephew left his tablet charger (He uses the tablet to go to school cause teachers are heroes) at his mom's, my brothers ex-monster said it wasn't her responsibility as the 9 year old is old enough to be responsible for his school stuff.

When the 9 year old left his math book at his dads', it is dad's fault for not making sure the 9 year had all his stuff, and dad needed to take time off work to bring it to where she would pick it up

Guess her political affiliation.

36 The Connecticut teacher is angling for a genius award too. Having discovered that donations are taxable if you’re not a nonprofit, and that online donation services automatically report income to the IRS, he’s asking people to send him cash and checks through the mail to avoid the automatic reporting in order to cover the tax burden.

Sixteen thousand dollars suddenly appearing in his bank account is totally not going to make it back to the IRS.

I hope there isn't a pop quiz. I would get the SRV question correct, on that I'm confident. And the Kurt C suicide, that was around the time there was a big gun grabbing push starting again. The local news here was swimming in Kurt Cobain suicide news.
Buddies would always joke to each other when starting any sentence, "did you hear about Kurt? All you need to know, is that guns were involved."

Said that in public at a bar a few days after it happened, and you would have thought I was going to destroy the world or something. I even got challenged to fight with someone in college (I was in my 30's) but buddies stood up behind me when words started flying, and the guy turned pale and walked away.
Bad thing is that I had to pick up the next round of drinks, even though I didn't ask, they just voted unanimously and my bar tab immediately grew. Yup, my friends, anything for a free drink.

Having discovered that donations are taxable if you're not a nonprofit, and that online donation services automatically report income to the IRS, he's asking people to send him cash and checks through the mail to avoid the automatic reporting in order to cover the tax burden.

Sixteen thousand dollars suddenly appearing in his bank account is totally not going to make it back to the IRS.

Two best ringtones I've heard. First, was my former boss' cel phone. When his wife would call, it would play the Imperial March from one of the Star Whores movies. She was not pleased when this was disclosed. Funniest of all though, I was in line a pizza joint. Lady in line behind me, her fone blew up. In the voice of Stewie from Family Guy, doing the "mommy! mom! momma! mommy! mother! mom! mommy! near-endless plaintive wail of comedic mirth and (barely) exaggerated display of infantile will.

Best prank of a ring tone though, I got a friend's teen daughter to snag me the password to her daddy's phone. Which soon had a rich, wet-fart ringtone for all incoming calls. We let him off the hook in only two calls, but after 10 minutes of laughing!

Sharkman, then a 2L at Seattle University School of Law, skipped out on class to go hear Associate Justice Antonin Scalia speak at the University of Washington.

The very commie-lib crowd of students tried their best to trip him up during Q&A, but he roasted every one of them with his intellect and a very dry, sarcastic wit. His speech was the highlight of my law school years.

RIP, Justice Scalia.

I'd have to put "My Sharona" at the top of my one-hit wonder list.

I got to looking up lists of one-hit wonders. One problem is how do you define a one-hit wonder exactly. We know what it means. A singer or group has a big hit, and only one big hit and is never heard from again.

One standard definition is a song by a single act that makes the Top 40, and that act never makes the Top 100 ever again.

The definition of "act" is tricky as well. Example, singer under his own name meets the OHW, but yet has other hits singing for different group.

All that complicates the precise definition.

The double sink just fell (initial report). "What fresh insane hell"-initial telephone analysis.

It turned out that the sink had little or no support from beneath-it had simply hung from the countertop with glue, that gave way. This was not even half-assed installation, it way maybe 1/64 assed at best.

So, I took the jack from the car and used that to restore the sink and disposal to proper position, for now.

A TV show in Iraq has sparked outcry over fake ISIS fighters 'kidnapping' celebrities, strapping fake suicide vests to them and telling them they will be executed. The scene is the same every time: a celebrity, invited for a charitable project, visits the home of a family said to have escaped the clutches of the Islamic State (IS) group. Once inside, actors disguised as jihadists pounce. The jihadists may be fake, but the pleas of the trapped celebrities are very real (TV series pictured, left and right).

584 Seems like, given that artists get paid a (small) amount of money every time their song is played on the radio or, nowadays, on a streaming service, that a canny band would try to write as many "one song segues into another" pairs as they could. That way you get paid for playing two songs, not just one.

639 >> dea of a variable speed of light (not the top speed, but the idea that gravity can slow light down) which he amd everyone else promptly forgot about after he wrote a single paper on it,

No one forgot about. Gravity does indeed "slow light down", at least the coordinate speed. Standard General Relativity. Take the simplest Schwarzschild exterior metric. The radial coordinate speed of light is c*(1 - R/r), where r is the radius, and R is 2GM/c^2, the Schwarzschild radius.

Tangential speed takes out a square root of that factor.

You'll see "light stops" at the event horizon.

But that's merely a coordinate. The local speed of light as measured by *any* local observer using his own natural ruler and clock will always be 'c'. That is what is meant by constant light speed.

Or in geometric terms, light follows a null path through spacetime. In flat space time, that null path has a speed of c everywhere and always. In curved spacetime, it does not.

No one knows. Basically as Wheeler, one of the high priests of General Relativity (and coauthor of the Bible on the subject, "Gravitation" or simple "MTW", for Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler), said, spacetime tells matter how to move, and matter tells spacetime how to curve.

General Relativity tells you how that matter does that. That is, how to calculate what it does. It doesn't tell you why.

No theory can ever tell you why, only what and how.

Indeed, even the notion of "curvature of spacetime" is nothing but a mathematical metaphor. The mathematics of differential geometry is useful in predicting how gravity works. But is there anything "really curving"?

And it doesn't even matter.

663 >> I'm thinking Miley might not want to make Publius a Duke. That might be fine.

The way it works, at least with the Brits (mostly) is that a wife gets all the status of the husband. So woman marries a duke, she's a duchess. But it doesn't go the other way. Some dude marries a duchess, he ain't a duke.

The biggest example is the wife of a king is a queen (consort). She gets "your majesty". But the husband of queen regnant, just as Philip to QEII, ain't nothing but what she gives him. There ain't no such thing as a king consort.

QE II's daddy made Philip a Duke upon his marriage to her. She made him a prince when she ascended to the throne.

As Philip himself quipped when some reporter asked him about how he view his "constitutional role", he replied, "Constitutionally, I don't exist."

So, I'll be like Philip and wear the mantle of constitutional nonexistence.

Fair.

I've been saying "10-15 years," depending on different factors. But it could be 5. Maybe it'll be the State against the man, or the man against the State, or the man against the man.

But i's coming soon, to a theater near you.

Actually, I think I prefer to hold at Jack Benny's 39, rather than 29.

Reminds me of a funny of my father's. He held that you had to be 40 before you had good sense. When I turned 40, I said, well, do I have good sense, now? He said, no, in the intervening years, I've upped it to 60.

If he's still around, and still has a mind when I turn 60, I imagine he will have raised it to 80.

678 I think I was born somewhere around 8AM.

In April?

I was born in August, and therefore cannot claim, due to have been a baby at the time, that I did NOT fall off the back of a watermelon truck.

However, for Social Security and Disability I am prepared to claim that, with Old Mama as the only surviving witness.
