Saturday Overnight Open Thread (1/8/22)
In 2021 we covered the start of this story. Too much government, not enough or just right?
The Department of Labor has filed a lawsuit against the owner of an auto repair shop in Georgia for paying one of his employees in pennies. Last year, Andreas Flaten quit his job at A OK Walker Autoworks but never received his final paycheck. Flaten was not happy he wasn't going to be paid and contacted the Department of Labor to file a complaint against the owner, Miles Walker. The Labor Department began an investigation into the matter and reached out to Walker, who said he had no intention of giving Flaten his final paycheck. Walker quickly changed his mind and decided to pay Flaten in pennies. He put over 91,000 pennies in a wheelbarrow and left them in Flaten's driveway along with a copy of his final paystub that had an expletive written on it. "Within hours of learning that Mr. Flaten had complained to [the Wage and Hour Division] about not receiving his last paycheck, defendants decided to pay Mr. Flaten in pennies," the lawsuit says. The agency claims that Walker retaliated against Flaten for filing a complaint against him, which is a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. In addition, investigators accused Walker of failing to keep detailed employment records and not paying his employees overtime.
I do not downhill ski. Reason #43 why I don't.
Skiers in chairlifts at Beech Mountain Ski Resort in North Carolina were hospitalized yesterday after a broken pipe blasted them with freezing cold water. Some were shot out of their chair by the water pressure while other lift passengers could be seen (in video below) jumping out of their seats before reaching the nightmarish spray. Rather than apologize and take full responsibility, the resort blamed the catastrophe on a guest, according to WCNC, claiming the skier broke a hydrant by running into it (and therefore caused the disaster, rather than admitting that the resort should have stopped the ski lift to prevent people from getting stuck in the water blast). The resort crafted a statement that minimizes the disaster, describing the skiers as merely getting "wet."
Good Samaritans to the rescue. A rare Saturday Night Feel Good Story of The Day.
MISSOULA, Mont. — Granite County sheriff’s deputies raced from wreck to wreck Wednesday. But a call about a truck in the river near Drummond made the sheriff’s heart skip a beat. Scott Dunkerson said, “We were patrolling. The undersheriff and I had met up between Drummond and Phillipsburg. And we just parted ways and got the call and report of pickup in the river at mile marker 144. And we dispatched Missoula County has a swiftwater rescue team pretty much immediately to the scene.” What happened in the minutes in between made all the difference. “We learned that there was some good Samaritans on scene. They basically formed a human chain out to the pickup and had gotten the two children and mother and father out of the pickup,” said Dunkerson.

Sometimes 1 meth pipe just isn't enough. Genius Award Winner.
A Newnan man man showed up on a stranger’s doorstep Tuesday night demanding his go-kart back.
But the woman who answered the door had no idea who he was. When she told the man she didn’t know what he was talking about, he put a gun to her head and took her on a wild ride, Cowetta County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Toby Nix confirmed. Randy Lee Moreland, 56, now faces several serious felonies in connection with the alleged abduction. He was charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, obstruction of officer and multiple drug-related offenses. Deputies say Moreland knocked on the front door of the woman’s New Street residence in unincorporated Cowetta around 9 p.m. He insisted that she return a go-kart, but the woman told investigators she’d never met Moreland before and didn’t have his go-kart.

Well, he's going to have to roll the pennies if he expects to take them into a bank, and cash them in. Or he could shovel them into a Coinstar machine at a WalMart, and get a discounted cash-out.

There is so much wrong with this, anyone who has hit a deer will tell you if you decide to pick up a freshly hit deer, You. Must. Slit. The. Throat.
Because revenant deer in a car is seriously bad.
Someone long ago beyond the statutory limit and anyway he was just some guy in a bar had a story about heading back from the store to pick up a keg with a buddy, and hit a deer. They stopped, found it unresponsive, and slung it under the tarp they had the keg under in the back of the SUV. And then while driving down the road it came to, and tried standing up under the tarp. In the back of the SUV.
And the poor boys had to kill it all over again. In the back of an SUV. It must have been like a zombie movie.

Dream Theater - Learning To Live (Lives Scenes From New York
https://youtu.be/zcZ12nPQJTU
It's the kind of song only a young man could write (by DT bassist John Myung, I believe). It's great, it's uplifting and it's great to sing along to. Makes me wish I were young again.
I'm also reading a manga called After The Rain. The anime so impressed me that I dived into the manga. It's about a 17 year old girl who falls in love with a 45 year old man. I completely identify with the older guy regretting his lost youth after meeting a much, much younger girl that just lights a spark in him. It's a beautifully written, bittersweet story that is utterly heartbreaking.
So filled with hope and heartbreak, I'm sitting at a shipper in Waco contemplating just how badly I fucked up my life.
Between all of these things I'm a complete wreck. I need a drink.

"Contrary to common misconception, there is no federal law stating that a private business, a person, or a government organization must accept currency or coins for payment. Private businesses are free to create their own policies on whether they accept cash, unless there is a specific state law which says otherwise."
So I suspect there'd be some research involved here to ferret out what is and isn't required (and where).
That's as deep as I'm looking into it. Legal research ain't free, and I'm not anyone's lawyer.

Only for debts, that meaning already existing obligations, denominated in dollars.
This does mean a grocery store can choose not to accept cash.
Or they could choose not to accept EBT, or credit cards, and say "Cash Only" No Checks.
Hell, they could accept anything they want as payment. Ciggies and those little bottles of airline booze. Very commonly misunderstood topic.
Now government has to accept cash for fines, or duties, and tax. If you look carefully on your annual property tax assessment, they will accept cash. They don't like it, because it's a huge pain in the ass, and subject to theft. But the law is clear on that. It is one thing that makes the dollar valuable.
Note California tried to pay people in scrip, or IOU for a while. Not sure how that works. Would they accept their own IOU in lieu of dollars for property tax? Hm.

During the depression Oregon state paid out debts in unfunded warrants (Oregon does not generally pay in checks but instead uses "warrants")
Because of the need for cash these IOUs developed a secondary market. For a while the warrants were redeemable at around (IIRC) something around 17 or 20 cents on the dollar, which recovered value in time.
There was a note I ran across that locally one of the Masonic lodges had to decide if they would accept an unfunded warrant for dues, and if it would be accepted at face or market value.
eventually all the warrants were redeemed at face value.

I've been shoveling fo0r those days and had all but the driver's side dug out and a way to mo0ve the car out of its space. Along comes a city road worker with a snow blower who proceeds to dig out every buried car.

I actually haven't seen any evidence of this nor even a claim from the employer. Employee says he put in two weeks' written notice. Employer told the news station he "doesn't really remember" dumping five hundred[ pounds of pennies on a guy's driveway, but "he got paid, so whatever". From https://tinyl.io/5VEJ
"Flaten said he left his job at the auto shop last year due to a toxic work environment, according to the news station. WGCL spoke with former Walker Luxury Autoworks employees who made similar complaints, including one man who recalled Walker ripping up workers' final paychecks."
HUGE leap here, but I'm starting to suspect that the employer might actually not be a friendly guy and that working for him could be a little prickly.

Oregon Public Radio put out a report entitled:
Oregon wants quick fix to high lead levels in Portland's water
The report starts: It's been six years since Dr. Marc Edwards first identified toxic levels of lead in the water in Flint, Michigan., and goes on to quote Edwards saying "This [Portland] is worse than Flint."
Panic! Panic! One might ask, "how the hell did lead get into the city water supply, anyway"?
It turns out it didn't - the problem is that Portland's water is naturally acidic, and it leaches lead out of the lead solder from pipes used in some homes built between 1970 and 1985. Fewer than 7% of the houses built during that era have a lead problem, and the city knows which houses have the problem. Portland is putting a treatment plant on-line in three months to raise the PH of the water, and Oregon is merely asking for some interim measures.
But it's still OK to write an article that implies that the whole Portland water supply is contaminated.

Well, the guy got paid, and got a load of aggravation, too. Could he win a lawsuit? Maybe, but lawyers don't work for free, and lawsuits take time. Rinse the oil off the coins with gasoline, and sprea them on an old towel in the Sun to dry. Filter the oily gasoline through a cloth, and add it to your car's tank, a little at a time.

But, they haven't been demonetized. It is technically illegal to scrap pennies (and nickels). Because, people would simply go to the bank and order $5000 in coins, and then drive to the recycler and get a check for $5500. Retired people especially. No Bueno for government.
This is the case for 90 percent silver coinage, pre 1965 dimes, quarters, and halves, dollars. They are still legal tender, but they can be smelted.

If there's a state or local fee-shifting provision, suit is worth it. It's like a SLAPP motion I won last year, a no-brainer. Plaintiff's counsel sought reconsideration. I said, Plaintiff has simply compounded one bad judgment after another. He can't win and if his lawyer wants to keep spending his money, Defendant will keep collecting it. (Under California law, prevailing defendant on a SLAPP motion gets reasonable fees from the plaintiff.)

The Washington State Legislature is slated to vote on a measure that will authorize the involuntary detainment of residents as young as 5 years old in "Covid-19 concentration camps, for failing to comply with the state's experimental vaccine mandate.
If passed, WAC 246-100 will allow local health officers at "his other sole discretion" to "issue an emergency detention order causing a person or group of persons to be immediately detained for purposes of isolation or quarantine."
The measure also allows health officers to deploy law enforcement officials to assist with the arrest of uncompliant Washington residents.

Improvised a basic candied pecan recipe (as I usually do, scouring online recipes and picking/choosing different elements) for a persimmon/pomegranate salad I took to a Christmas dinner. Damn things were so good we devoured the extras in a few days.
So this time I repeated the original version (just toast 'em, then add butter, brown sugar, kosher salt, dashes of black pepper and cayenne). Made a large batch. Then experimented with a small batch - same seasonings, but subbing in bacon fat for butter, and deglazing the pan first with bourbon (Winchester Double-Oak).
Yeah yeah, high risk edgy cooking, using bacon and bourbon. Turns out they're both good. What a surprise.

Also skied in Georgia (republic, not state) once. Of course the Euros/NGO types were regulars there in season. I passed on the heli-skiing - as much for the Mi-8 chopper (with Georgian maintenance!) as for my rusty alpine skills.
Cool thing is it was on the Trans-Caucasus Military Highway, famous in the fiction of Lermentov during the old imperial conflicts with bandits and uncooperative Caucasus types. And the sign right before the turn-off for the resort: "Chechnya, 12 km" or something like that. This was during the height of the unpleasantness in Chechnya (well, the 90s chapter, anyway).

For American/Canadian truckers entering Canada it's Jan 21.
Currently, for me to enter Canada I have to provide my vaccination card plus a covid test done within 72 hours of crossing. It can be done online 3 days in advance and then the port official may ask for the actual paperwork at the time of arrival.
The CTA estimates that about 70 per cent of the $650 billion U.S.-Canada trade moves by truck.
That's a lot of unemployed truckers if the estimates for drivers refusing to be vaccinated is correct.

It explains that the 1918 flu hit hard the specific age group of 28 year olds. And they explained it was because as babies they were exposed to 1889-1890 Russian flu strain that set them up to have abnormal fatal immune responses to the 1918 flu almost 30 years later.
So now reading about all these athletes in Europe -- [another one today, tennis player*] -- getting myocarditis or collapsing or having heart attacks, I wonder if there was something 20-some years ago going around in Europe that they were exposed to that is now making them react a certain way to the COVID vaxxines.

Sharon, you'd asked on the Chess Thread if there was an apartment above me. Yes; I'm on the ground floor, which is a plus when it comes to air-conditioning your place (cold tends to sink, heat to rise). That's not so good if somebody above you has a leak of any kind. There's one level above mine, and the denizens of this place are not smart enough to avoid putting stuff down their toilets or sinks that will clog the pipes.
Why do I live here, you ask? It's comfortable most of the time, cheap compared to other places in this city, and convenient to my work.

Back in the 80s they did a miniseries based on "The Winds of War" by Herman Wouk, which was about the early years of WW II when the US was neutral and Americans trying to get out of Europe.
Anyhow, there's this scene where the Nazis want to separate the Untermenschen from the rest, and the guy who was hired to play the studly American dude clenches his jaw before the Gestapo guy and says in his most macho voice: "I'm circumcised!"
I was pretty young back then, but I remember laughing my ass off.

The argument I've seen for the issue with the clot shots is that you produce more spike proteins then you do if you get COVID itself.
One of the "good" things about an actual vaccine is that the worst thing it can do is give you the diease (which actually happened with the rush with the Small Pox vaccine). Gene therapies are a whole 'nother story.
Of course if this was actually a health issue we'd be "warp speeding" a covaxin type vaccine based on the omicron variant right now.

Another interesting statement in the video is when he described how the government deliberately lied to the people about the seriousness of the pandemic. Back then, they downplayed it. And when people saw through the lies, when the government then tried to tell the truth and ask people to take certain precautions, people refused, because they didn't trust the government anymore.
Sounds familiar to current times, only the government -- here in USA as well as all over the world -- has been overexaggerating the seriousness of pandemic. Also cited something I know I have read discussed here over the past 2 years. That the Spanish Flu was only so named, because Spain was the only country not involved in the war, so the only country not lying to their citizens about the existence and seriousness of the flu.

Let's say you owe $5000 , a debt already incurred, to a business or individual and they demand payment, and you go to pay them in cash.
"Oh, no - We don't accept cash. Check or debit card only."
You have them sign a statement reflecting that they refused payment in cash. Some theorize or whatever, that since they refused payment, the debt is no longer valid or somesuch. Don't try this at home, kids. But this is one reason "legal tender for all debts, public and private" has some teeth to it. They have to take it, at one level.

I'm guessing this is a big part of the cracking up of the narrative right now... "Omicron" becomes a thing well after a whole lot of people get vaccinated. So the vaccine clearly does not protect against omicron. And yet Our Betters insist (at gunpoint) that we reach 100% vaccination with the old vaccine that doesn't work, along with multiple boosters of.... the old vaccine that doesn't work.
It's just my gut feeling that this, more than almost anything else, is snapping the go-along-to-get-along types out of their stupor and making them begin to realize that government and healthcare officials are NOT the good guys here.

In the emails between Fauci and Pfizer that got released he tells them they'd need about 2/3s of the population to get the shot for herd immunity.

If you had described America right now to be in say 2012, I would have assumed that there were already militas manning barricades in the red states, and several red state governors were letting President Brandon know that if the SC approves the mandates they have officially left the union.

Unfortunately, in my opinion, those people don't really matter. What would matter is if we started hearing that stuff from people in positions of influence. Corporation CEOs, Commissioners of sports leagues, state governors, state depts of HHS, US Senators, US Congressmen, employees of FDA or CDC, etc. Because those are the people who hold the power and influence to stop this.
The rest of us are having our livelihoods held hostage. Kids held hostage by school protocols. Workers held hostage by corporation protocols, etc. And I have heard nothing from anyone on that, not even those like DeSantis who are fighting the mandates. No one is questioning the dangerous vaxxines themselves.

Perfectly legal.
The US Treasury:
There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise.
If you're a private business, you are under no obligation to accept cash.

If we were talking about goods and services, you might have a point. A business for example (like an Apple store) doesn't have to accept cash. And they (Apple) don't. There is no existing debt. You can't buy anything with cash.
And I know that before going in to an Apple store, so it never becomes an issue. This isn't what we're talking about.
Somebody sends you an invoice -, I dunno, the roofer. The guy who shovels your driveway. "You owe $500" they have to take cash. Again, the classic no-shit example is, of course, taxes. Your local government might prefer payment by check, or debit card. I don't blame them. But you can pay in person, in cash. They have to accept it, for debts See the difference?

Scott Miller, a Washington-based Physician Assistant who runs a private pediatric clinic, lost his medical license in October for providing hundreds of critically-ill Covid patients with Ivermectin, vitamins and other effective treatments.
Miller will provide testimony during the 8-hour Zoom meeting on Wednesday and explain in detail why the experimental shots are a death sentence for children.

I bought an unopened Eico signal generator kit from a longtime local electronics store, he had all kinds of cool stuff from "back in the day." I was going to sell it on eBay for a small profit. Why not?
I decided to open the box, to take pictures. Examining all the parts and gizmos and circuit boards. Reading the instructions. Wow, that transformer is heavy! Oh look at those dogbone resistors. Yeah, before I knew it, I had my soldering iron oit warming up, and spent the night building it. Worth about $20 now, maybe. Oops!

That said, in these times, I prefer the freakout reaction of places like TGP. Since that seems to be the only way to expose these people, get people to wake up and notice what they are doing and then get people to hold these people in state legislatures accountable.
Just looking at it and going "oh, there's nothing here to worry about" does not cut it anymore for me. We must now assume the worst about every last one of the MF-ers in positions of power. They need to know that they can't get away with this stuff anymore, because we are always watching them like hawks.

Does it matter, really, what the bill is "actually" about? We've been shown repeatedly the past 2 plus years that those in search of power will use anything to accrue it, and that emergency powers that were clearly meant for wartime, for instance, were abused and broadened to close businesses and force people into their homes. So, sure, it's about HIV and blood-borne illnesses. Well, HIV's been around a long time and we couldn't even close bathhouses, could we?

I see stuff like this and remember what they did here in Michigan when Wretched Whitmer was doing everything she could to keep all her protocols in place. When she lost her emergency powers, they switched to using some old Dept of HHS powers for viruses or something and just applied it to COVID.
So I see this stuff and assume they are going to strengthen the law/regulation/rule/whatever to apply to something other than COVID, so they can do it without anyone paying attention. Then, at a later date, they will refer to it and say it applies to COVID too, even though it's not explicitly stated in the law/regulation/rule/whatever.

I'm intentionally a broken-record on this matter, but our "friends" who keep voting for this nonsense are *not* our friends. They need to be confronted civilly, and then shunned if they don't understand what they are doing. We are in a battle for our civilization.

Spent the day with the grandson here in Grand Junction. Got to watch seven year olds take each other out in two hockey games
Went to Walgreens to get grandson a flashlight for his "fort" in our hotel room. When I paid the clerk asked me if I wanted to round up my purchase for a donation for the WILDLIFE that lost their homes due to our (Louisville Superior) wildfires. I kind of lost it. I asked here if she was aware that 1000 homes were destroyed including my bosses. She told me that was what corporate had told them to say. WTF!

See the top of Zerohedge. Some Youtuber has been accused of staging a plane crash for hits and likes. He claimed engine trouble, and bailed out, and the plane crashed into a mountain.
Only problem was he was wearing a full parachute when he got in the plane, like he was expecting it to crash. And he made sure to pitch the plane just right for the perfect jump and camera angles.
The FAA is investigating.

There was a 70s Columbo episode with Johnny Cash, where he intentionally crashed a plane to kill his blackmailing evangelist wife. She's holding a statutory rape over him.
Johnny packed a homemade parachute in his "chart bag". Only problem, he couldn't make it big enough and fit in the bag. When the small chute, he came down too fast and broke his leg.
He hides the chute, and pretends he was thrown from the plane in the crash, as the sole survivor. Columbo gets wise, as he always does. Cash wore black the whole time, of course.

I see the distinction you are making, but don't think that distinction is valid.
For example, in Martinez v. Mattern, a federal district court rejected this argument with respect to a customer who tried to pay his water bill in cash where the water supply district had a no-cash-payment policy. 2006 WL 1295571 (S.D. Tex. May 10, 2006).
Also, in Picano v. Borough of Emerson, the plaintiff sued a local NJ governmental entity because it required payment of property taxes by check or money order and disallowed payment in cash. The Third Circuit held that the legal-tender statute, 31 U.S.C. 5103, did not require the government to accept payment in cash, and observed that no court has ever held the contrary. 353 Fed. App'x 733 (3d Cir. Nov. 27, 2009).

1964 Chevrolet advertisement. They sling loaded a convertible via helicopter to the top of Castleton Tower, along the Colorado river in utah. Then shot a ridiculous commercial with a chick sitting in a car on top of an isolated mesa top.
Then the winds picked up. Really bad, so that they couldn't retrieve her, and another guy onsite. They spent the night alone up there, in the dark. That probably was quite an experience. No word on how they "kept warm". (Deserts are COLD at night, a lot of people don't know this)

Well if the games count then I do know. Books? Nope. Anyway I do not like the amount of black re-casting of characters, again from what I know from the games, its just bothersome because I know it is all Polish legend. The game did flesh out the people from Ofir but that land has not been brought up yet so the irregular amount of black folks is just weird. Good acting but just weird.
It would be like retelling a Zulu nation tale and a few main characters became white or Indonesian.
Anyway, they already fucked up Eskel and did some other shit I do not appreciate but Henry Cavill is a super dope Geralt.

I hated the games until 3. The books can be bad as well. Had a lot of nihilism in there. The third game redeemed a hell of a lot of it by making it a father-daughter dynamic (indeed of the Father/Daughter trinity of games that came out at around the same time, it was BY FAR the healthiest.)

I like that in games, just not a large portion of it. Becomes draining. At least in 3 there is a best option ending thank goodness.
Sad to hear that Geralts tales come to end. I will say, the Witcher gave me the most bang for my buck including DLCs.

They might change the terms, but pay attention to anytime someone brings up "group facilitator" or anything of that nature.
Basically start with a pre-determined outcome (what they want, but nobody else does) is cleverly presented in a way that looks like everybody agreed to it. Gaslighting, propaganda, bullshit polls, bogus "facts" guilt trips, etc., over and over. Sound familiar?

To me, Geralt is like Sam Fisher, the voice actors for these guys only come around once. I got no desire to see Geralt unless it is the OG voice actor.

Alinsky might've published it, but Obama's Cass Susstein drove it to become a highly developed, media-driven sledgehammer of subtlety from the left.
Example. My 33 home neighborhood was built in 2007/2008, with only one car garages, and all natural gas mains stripped from belowground before further development. Because proles don't need a 2 car garage, (we're supposed to ride mASS transit) and natural gas is those icky hydrocarbons which must be done away with, before the skies collapse! You wanna see "the nudge" in action, I'll show it to you right damn here in my 'hood.

But that wind ... is something else ... on those Mesa tops. There's a reason the trees only grow a few feet high, and are all twisted and gnarly! I'd have been scared shitless up there, and I love that shit. But I bet they had no flashlight or cold weather gear, food or water? That takes a lot of the fun out of it.

Never played it but everyone that I trusted shitted on it, and seemingly, rightfully so. Until the unlimited patches came out and fixed things but, from I read it was very much like Molyneux and Fable. Over promised and vastly under delivered.

The Fed prints $2 notes every year. FY2022's print order, which estimates how many they project is for 100K to 200K notes.
That is the smallest of all bills. $20s, $100s, and $1s are the the largest.

Yeah, definitely part of the scam. "Polling" is a huge part of it, central really. At least the publicly pushed and cited fairy tales.
There's no doubt in my mind a huge majority of Americans would LOVE to have Biden uncermoniously kicked to the curb right now, and 45 re-installed.
The more unhinged the left becomes, the less their messaging is working, the less people buy their phony balogna parlor tricks, then they become even more extreme. They have to.
Unfortunately they are in control, so it's gonna be a shitty ride. You may not know it yet, but you be fooked. It will get .. better .. someday. This is all unforced error and end goal shit. None of it gotta be like this. None. That is what is so tragic, these are stone cold saboteur psychopaths. Prepare accordingly.

Although usage is sloppy, "opiate" is supposed to refer to *natural* compounds derived from opium. Opioids includes all the synthetic and semi-synthetic ones as well.
So, every opiate is an opioid, but not every opioid is an opiate.

There is so much wrong with this, anyone who has hit a deer will tell you if you decide to pick up a freshly hit deer, You. Must. Slit. The. Throat.
Because revenant deer in a car is seriously bad.
Someone long ago beyond the statutory limit and anyway he was just some guy in a bar had a story about heading back from the store to pick up a keg with a buddy, and hit a deer. They stopped, found it unresponsive, and slung it under the tarp they had the keg under in the back of the SUV. And then while driving down the road it came to, and tried standing up under the tarp. In the back of the SUV.
And the poor boys had to kill it all over again. In the back of an SUV. It must have been like a zombie movie.
