Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (12/20/22)
Quote I “Despite the broad condemnation of Trump for his speech and conduct on that day, there is a difference between what is viewed as reprehensible and what is chargeable as criminal conduct,” Jonathan Turley
Quote II “It is not advisable to masturbate with Christmas ornaments,” Dr. Sarah Welsh

WELCOME TO STANFORD KINDERGARTEN
Perhaps you’ve seen the story on the Wall Street Journal editorial page today (or in some other outlet where it is booming this morning) about Stanford University’s “Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative,” which reads like a parody of our idiotic woke university culture today. But no—Stanford employed a task force that worked for months to advocate that no one on campus use the word “American” because “This term often refers to people from the United States only, thereby insinuating that the US is the most important country in the Americas. . .”
Soon little tykes and toddlers will be chanting, Let's Go Brandon!
A shortage of children's pain and flu medication has caused several stores across the country to limit sales. CVS is limiting online and in-store purchases of children's pain relief products to two per customer. Walgreens is restricting online sales to six over-the-counter children's pain medications per purchase. However, the pharmacy chain said there are no limits on in-store purchases. "Due to increased demand and various supplier challenges, over-the-counter pediatric fever-reducing products are seeing constraint across the country," Walgreens said in a statement.
So those Roombas aren't so harmless afterall.
Your robot vacuums are watching you — and the resulting imagery of your most private moments can, horrifically, get leaked online. As the MIT Technology Review reports, the aptly-named company iRobot, behind the uber-popular Roomba vacuums, confirmed that gig workers outside of the US broke a non-disclosure agreement when sharing intimate photos, including one of a woman on the toilet, to social media.
Taking the old saying, "God helps those who help themselves" just a tad too far.
A flashy New York bishop, who was famously robbed earlier this year in the middle of a church service, is now facing federal charges over an ungodly scheme that allegedly included swindling one of his parishioners and extorting a local businessman for his own enrichment, prosecutors revealed on Monday. Lamor Whitehead, 45, was arrested and charged Monday with several crimes, including wire fraud, extortion, and making false statements, the U.S. Attorney’s Office Southern District of New York announced. If convicted, he faces upwards of 65 years in prison.
Oh yeah, MNF, the Packers won. And Adam Schefter proved he was no jock.
Adam Schefter’s lack of athleticism was on full display Monday night. The popular ESPN reporter was in Green Bay for the Monday Night Football matchup between the Packers and Rams, and he decided to give the Lambeau Leap his best shot. How did it go? Well, to Schefter’s credit, he did get at least two or three inches off the ground before fans had to pull him into the stands.
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), with an estimated price tag of $369 billion, has many provisions that make electric vehicles more attractive to motorists, but it’s not going to be the right option for every new car buyer. The public might be wondering whether it is finally time to pull the trigger on an electric vehicle or whether it is better to wait. While the higher upfront costs of the EVs relative to traditional vehicles might be an initial turnoff, a savvy consumer will be paying more attention to the total cost of vehicle ownership. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, EVs cost about 4 cents less per mile in maintenance costs, as there is no engine oil, timing belt, oxygen sensor, or spark plugs to take care of. Compared to a gasoline vehicle, EVs’ cost of ownership might equal that of a gas vehicle after 5 to 8 years of use even without a subsidy, as suggested by a study published in a leading peer-reviewed journal.You too can potentially be a millionaire.
Speaking of EVs. The USPS is going all in on those EVs.
USPS expects to only buy electric delivery vehicles starting in 2026
The agency expects to deploy at least 66,000 EVs by the end of 2028.
Times have changed. They really have and I haven't.
Nearly half of Americans age 18 to 29 are living with their parents
The trend to move back in with mom and dad is pushing up discretionary spending Nearly half of all young adults in the US ages 18 to 29 live with their parents, and this living arrangement is boosting the profits of luxury goods companies, according to Morgan Stanley. The number of people moving back in with at least one parent spiked in 2020 at the height of the covid-19 pandemic to 49.5%, according to census data. It’s since edged down to 48% last year, but the rate is expected by the bank to remain there for 2022, even as people return to a hybrid work set up.

Fuck you asshole. God forbid we use this moment to actually directly criticize Democrats / Uniparty for what they've been doing with our police state for political purposes.
And before someone gets weepy at me, I looked up the rest of his statement to confirm or deny my suspicions. And here is an excerpt:
"People on the Left and Right have ignored the Constitution and shredded it", says Dershowitz.
Yup. When it's Democrats caught red-handed it's always "both sides". Every time.

Telling them to go home peacefully was reprihensible?
Offering the National Guard to beef up security at the Capitol?
I would like to know EXACTLY what Trump did that was either reprehensible or criminal that day. And I don't mean some leftist dogwhistle interpretation that whittles down to "My Violence is Speech; Your Speech is Violence".
===========
For a lot of those people afflicted with TDS, anything Trump does is reprehensible, and that goes for his supporters as well. My interpretation of the article is that they're getting ready to let the True Believers down easy when the January 6 hearings end without anything actually being done to Trump.

Regular postal routes are actually one situation where electric vehicles could be advantageous. They know how far, and how fast each truck has to go, and can design routes based on the electric trucks' limitations. I see the gas-powered Grumman vans used here, and they stop the engine each stop, alight from the vehicle, drop mail in the box, re-enter the vehicle, fasten their seat belt, restart the engine, and drive 50 yards down the road, rinse and repeat. At least an all-electric vehicle would not be wearing out its starter motor.

"You see that dock out there? Built it myself, hand crafted each piece, and it's the best dock in town! But do they call me "McGregor the dock builder"? No! And you see that bridge over there? I built that, took me two months, through rain, sleet and scoarching weather, but do they call me "McGregor the bridge builder"? No! And you see that pier over there, I built that, best pier in the county! But do they call me "McGregor the pier builder"? No!"
The old guy looks around, and makes sure that nobody is listening, and leans to the man, and he says:

: "The proposed ‘Aggressor State’ designation is a poor substitute for what Ukraine has called for: a State Sponsor of Terror designation for Russia. This new designation fails to hold Putin accountable for his heinous war crimes and unprovoked war against Ukraine.

Jimmy Thackery and the Drivers - Drive to Survive (1996). Impeccably recorded blues trio opus with stellar performances and compositions. It is a gem of an album and if it was vinyl, I would call it a drop the needle anywhere outing. Mr. JT plays a Strat throughout and his brilliance makes it clear that The Real Big Guy loves him some jangly, chimey, single coil sounds, and that he put Mr. Fender on Earth so Mr. JT didn't end up stealing cars for a living. That's my review and I am sticking to it.

Dealers call that the "Puppy Dog Close", as their thinking is that you'll fall soooooo in love with the sled, that you've got to adopt it and hug it and squeeze it and take it home and call it George.
IOW, they're banking on your talking yourself into buying the damn thing, 'cause you couldn't possibly bear to return it to the dealership.

I've never had a fancy-schmancy newer car that does it but there's an option to toggle it off? I could see that. My 10yo CRV has a button with a green leaf on it that does something transmission or combustion related when you press it in to allow you to feel smug about saving the erf. I imagine those cars have something similar but you're kind of an a-hole for killing gaia if you do. SHAME!

Until you linked Sister Josephine I had never heard of Jake Thackery. I was immediately struck with how French it sounded. From Wikipedia: "After graduation he spent three years abroad teaching English, mainly in France...and discovered the chansonnier tradition and in particular the work of Georges Brassens." My ear worked apparently. And with that I have a new musical rat hole to follow.

Yep. Standard equipment in Alberta. The little heaters that plug into the side of the block in place of a core plug work better. Head bolt heaters are pretty much antiques now, and many newer engines don't even have exposed head bolts. They also make circulating heaters that you can plumb into a heater hose, but they cannot be used on engines that have automatic valves to control water flow through the heater.

Rented a vehicle in France once that had that feature, engine shut off every time you stopped. You could override in the settings menu but that was the default setting. The gear selector was not linked physically to the transmission, it was electronic. Weird. Really nice vehicle otherwise. A mini van that got great fuel mileage.

the last time it was this cold I put a space blanket over the engine after shutting it off. Must have worked, truck started fine the next day.
Finally, I have AAA and am retired, so if I'm grounded for a day or two it's okay.

I have ornaments like that. I have some from my parents before I was born. They just don't make them like that anymore. We have ornaments from just about every vacation or road trip, or cruise. Shit, we even got one at buc-ees this year on the way home from texas, lol. Mrs B used to do ballet, so we got ornaments from that, plus her hershey collectables, ornaments my mom made, etc. We are swimming in ornaments. Tubs and tubs worth.

Me At least it was only one rib this time.
AmericanKestrel Sounds like you have a story this evening. Make it a good one.
When I fell and bruised ribs on the poolside chair, years ago, that was exciting.
When I fell down the back steps at Mom's last year, that was a helluva tale.
When I got tripped by the dog's tether and landed hard, earlier this year, that was terrific.
This time, looking to see what the dog was doing, I just turned and leaned over on a rail wrong. Heard a CRACK and felt like a dang fool.
What I especially like about busted ribs is how, for some reason, I really need to cough a lot - which hurts like heck. Nature's way of laughing at us.

It was Port, not Rum.
I'm looking for a local source to buy Benjamin Port, a Port Wine out of Australia. Spec's used to carry it, but alas, no more. And I REALLY don't want to buy from Total Wine.

Looking back through our past, you'll find we have met and prevailed over issues every bit as serious as the current mess. And show an unbroken record of success. In fact, it's our heritage to continue the struggle of our predecessors to ensure the Republic endures.
We WILL prevail here also. So never give in to despair, because we are Americans, and as such are denied the option of failure.
I will state without reservation I'm supremely proud to be called an American and those who scorn me may find another place more in keeping with their venues. I neither need nor want you here.

However, if anyone in the household either already does or would like to try developing a liking for good sipping rums, vs. mixers, I have a few ideas.
Foursquare from Barbados easily has the best selection of reasonably priced yet actually very high quality aged rums, and I'd think all of the following would serve well for cooking. Assuming not a whole lot of rum is used in the recipe.
Doorly's 12-year; Doorly's XO; R.L. Seale's 10-year. All aged, no additives, varying finishes, all excellent, all under $30. Buy one of these for the cooking, and then enjoy the rest of the bottle a small glass at a time.

You want to be accepted? Then choose to behave acceptably. Nobody is required to indulge your mental illness/wild fantasy except you. Nobody is responsible for your suicide, either, except for you. Only a selfish coward takes that path. Doesn't mean I won't pray for your depraved soul, but look elsewhere for sympathy.

What did Trump do or say on or regarding Jan. 6's brief riot that was not 100% fine? "Reprehensible" isn't even in the mix here. To phrase that the way he did just about cancels out all the respect he's earned merely by being normal about the insane Dem/collapsed institutional vandalism since 2016.

One thing that might interest you. Apparently El Dorado has been listening to many rum afficionados, bloggers, etc over the last few years. They reformulated their 15-yr with much less sugar added (dosage). The premium rum market isn't splitting, but there various "lanes", and many consumers of higher-end stuff strongly favor rum with no additives. Independent observers and the Finnish and Swedish alcohol import authorities do hydrometer tests, which lets consumers see which rums have additives (principally sugar), and how much.
So far I like rums from both "lanes", and expect I'll always have some of both in the cabinet.
Posted by: rhomboid at December 21, 2022 02:21 AM (OTzUX)
Cost me $19 for 750ml.
I was told the aged stuff was a good sipping rum, so I got a bottle (about $40ish). Didn't care for it unmixed, but I generally don't drink it straight, so that is probably me.

Thank you for the prayers and good wishes. El Jefe loved Christmas like no one I’ve ever known. When we were first married, he was sorta normal about Christmas, but as we got older and had a little larger bank balance, he started buying me 100 gifts. He didn’t give gifts at any other time of the year, no birthdays, no anniversaries. But Christmas, he went berserk. And you never know what you’d get. He collected them all year and kept them in his closet. A pair of earrings, then a spatula because you happened to mention ( back in April) that the one in your hand was getting old. Then a pair of scissors, then a beautiful purse. Then a pack of pencils or blow bubbles (just for fun). Then a new dress. Or a book. Or a tin of Almond Roca. It took me almost all day to open them. We had to take breaks for homemade cinnamon rolls and lunch. He wrote a letter to the family every year about our year and it was beautiful. I’ve never known anyone to love Christmas like he did.

Here in NYC, the 'public service ads' are currently recommending people mask up for the Holidays and to make sure your boosters are up-to-date as they are 'safe and effective'.
It's almost as if the NYC Health Commissioner doesn't follow the news about the 'vaccine's' effectiveness nor about SADS (Sudden Adult Death Syndrome) after being given the clot shot. Almost.
IMAO, the Dempanic never left, just went into suspended animation for a bit. They are gearing up for another round of mask-wearing, business-closing mandates 'for our safety' as if anyone thinks the government actually wants to protect them.
We know they'll never give up trying to kill us off/screw us over. Question is, will TPTB get away with it this time?

However, it's kind of all we have. We keep losing words that quickly and succinctly sum up a concept, and they keep getting replaced with literal paragraphs of speech.
What's to replace it?
United Statesian? US American? Person from the United States of American?
There's no good replacement for it. I don't necessarily disagree that it's a "less than optimal" term, but there kind of isn't a real good replacement for it.
