The business with your father's birth being a little off by the calendar wasn't that unusual in the distant past. Our marriage traditions in the West go back a long way, and in the olden days, it was the *engagement* that was the serious event. It was the actual agreement of the contract, and often involved financial arrangements between families. The marriage ceremony was really just the legal finalization. To this day, there's an echo of that tradition in the fact that a woman's engagement ring is bigger and fancier than her wedding ring. So to people with that mindset, an engaged couple was *practically* married, so if they were a little hasty with the lovemaking, there was no harm done.
And remember all the old Victorian dramas where men were sued for breach of promise of marriage? That's because the promise to marry was a serious thing, not just something you could blow off if your enthusiasm waned or you saw someone else you liked better.

The Sopranos Pine Barrens episode was actually filmed in some state park in New York.
The Pine Barrens are extremely flat and, well, piney, as opposed to where the episode was shot (hilly and lots of trees without leaves). Posted by: Dr. Varno at July 23, 2021 09:37 PM (vuisn) 112

Question for the Sopranos fans here. How long should it take a new viewer to determine if they should stick with the show? Mrs Doof and I have tried -- REALLY tried -- to get into the series. We were very bored.
Does it pick up significantly after the first few episodes? It's such a highly regarded series, and we don't want to give up on it prematurely. Or maybe we just don't "get it". Posted by: Doof at July 23, 2021 09:42 PM (JNEIO) 127

The map of trees is interesting. What it doesn't seem to show is how much of the forests have grown back, despite all of the deforestation that takes place. I've seen pictures of the Michigan UP where it was stripped almost bare due to copper mining. Now it's all grown back and then some. I think Europe also has more trees now than it did a couple of hundred years ago. Fossil fuels make that possible.

Posted by: Doof at July 23, 2021 09:42 PM (JNEIO) Personally, I might not be a good judge of what makes something work. I worry far less about pacing than I do about character, story, and such. The Sopranos was made to last a while. Getting to know the characters, ease into the story, with exposition at just the right time. I found it to be very fun to watch. But, keep this in mind: I hate the super fast-paced action movies with more splodey stuff and ridiculous fight scenes. So, make of this what you will. Very subjective.

Does it pick up significantly after the first few episodes? It's such a highly regarded series, and we don't want to give up on it prematurely. Or maybe we just don't "get it".
honestly I would say the whole first season of the Sopranos is pretty slow going? after that it really picks up! that said, if you do stick with it, you will recall things from Season 1 fondly. it really sets the stage with the characters (especially Tony and Livia).

People recording shit on their phones rather than enjoying it. Take fireworks. How many times have you been at a fireworks display and dozens of people are around you recording it rather than enjoying it? Stop that shit.
Meh. Concerts, some bootleg videos of emerging bands might be cool someday. But m The Rolling Stones, nah, there are a million RS videos and no one is gonna watch yours. And fireworks, a cool picture or two might be fun to text to friends or put on social media, but not the whole deal. The one I really hate is parents at the school play or concert. Sit the f*ck down so I can watch my child too please.

Speaking of Denninger's forum, one of the posters there, who is pretty good with this kind of stats, did a quick and dirty teasing out of the latest data out of the UK, England specifically, to see what the actual vaccine efficacy is now. Age is the biggest confounder. That is the older you are, the more at risk at you are (whether this is really age alone, or just more that age correlates with various other conditions, like obesity, diabetes, etc that put you at higher risk is a good question). And vaccination rates vary with age as well accordingly. To do this right, you'd look at many age brackets, but he just used 50 as a rough cut off, and looked at under 50 and 50 and above. That's not perfect, but it's a pretty good rough winnow.

I spent a month in Dresden studying German at the Goethe Institute. It was a very multicultural mix - Americans, Arabs, French, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Scandis, a Scot, Spanish, etc. Naturally, the language that non-German speakers could communicate with each other of a different first language was, wait for it, English. So after class we'd all socialize in English.
Final night about 30 of us went to dinner, speaking English naturlich. A French guy was talking about some woman who had gotten nake'd, as in the past tense of nake. I looked at him quizzically. What??? Guess. LOL. He'd never heard the English word nake-ed but it must have been pronounced similar to baked (not bake-ed). It was all good and he thanked me for correcting him on a kind of fundamental word. Posted by: SFGoth at July 23, 2021 10:57 PM (KAi1n) 255

Over 50: infection efficacy: 46%; hosp: 85%; fatality 84%. For under 50, relative CFR reduction is just 9%. For 50 and above, it's 71%.

.... I hate percentages. Can I parse that out and you tell me if I'm doing it correctly? So let's say the hospitalization rate for a 50 year old contracting COVID is 5%. So out of 1000 such individuals, 50 would be hospitalized. If the vaccine has 68% efficacy, then only 16 would be hospitalized. So then the vaccine would take the hospitalization from 5% to 1.6%. Is that correct? Posted by: Bitter Clinger at July 23, 2021 11:10 PM (5We2S) 270

Filming shitty shaky videos in landscape mode is retarded.
I used to take pictures of everything with my DSLR as a tourist, especially at museums if photography is not explicitly forbidden. I got nasty looks from people when I do it. Unlike the dummies who film videos with their cellphones using one hand, I take multiple pictures of objects then I make a selection of the best ones. My wife makes memory albums with them (she adds postcards, decorations and short narratives). We have 15 years worth of pictures. By just looking at the albums, you could create a timeline of our travels. Since the begining of the 'rona propaganda, for the first time in 15 years, we haven't left the US so looking at our albums took us back in time, hoping one day it will be the same. I know it won't. My naive wife hopes it will. The truth is that the 'rona turned most countries into East Germany. We only have the cherished memories of free France, free Canada, and free Australia. Those places no longer exist as they were. Posted by: Noname at July 23, 2021 11:15 PM (G3lfj) Posted by: Zettai at July 23, 2021 11:17 PM (teGdG) 275

Yes, and the difference there would be the absolute hospitalization rate reduction, 3.4%. I would be very interested in the absolute risk reductions, or absolute efficacy.

Another thing, with the under 50 you may notice. We've got a relative death reduction of 54%, but the CFR (case fatality rate) relative reduction is only 9%. How can that be. Well, the most reduction in deaths comes from preventing infection in the first place. But once you're infected, it doesn't do much to lower your chance of death. In the above 50 crowd, you've got 71% reduction in CFR. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion (Mzdiz) at July 23, 2021 11:40 PM (Mzdiz) 296

As you can see, the overall infection efficacy ain't so hot from those numbers. Much less than the "95%" or so they claimed. But, for the over 50, it is doing roughly 85% relative at preventing hospitalization and death. This is changing.

And finally, those numbers are a very rough look at what is happening. The 50 cut off was just a very rough thing. To really see, you'd want to break that down into finer age groups, and more importantly, look at other big risk confounders, like obsesity, diabetes, immune compromising, etc. But from the data they've put out publicly, that latter isn't there, I don't think.

Thanks publius. So basically a 2/3rds reduction is risk in outcome.
Some stats I looked at listed the numbers for individuals 50-64 that prevalence of lab-confirmed COVID cases requiring hospitalization at 266.3 per 100,000 residents. The .26% of the population. Vaccinating every person in that age group would take from a 99.74% of never being hospitalized for COVID to a 99.92% chance. That doesn't really seem worth the risk of suffering side-effects from the COVId vaccine just to reduce the average person's odds off getting hospitalized by .18% overall.

In Canyonlands NP, UT, in the Needles district one of the jeep trails goes to a place called "Bobby's Hole", which I'm sure gets a few snickers.
Not too far from Moab, way back in the 1880s or thereabouts a black cowboy lived in a cabin. His name was Bill. Well, the locals had a name for Bill, he was always referred to (not disparagingly necessarily) as "N*****er Bill", and the official place where he lived, in a canyon was an official place name called N***** Bill Canyon. Modern sensibilities renamed it Negro Bill Canyon, which anyone who is honest, just doesn't roll off the tongue quite the same, some years back, and I don't keep up with what it's called now. He was probably a pretty cool guy. There was a landmark in the park or just outside it, called Molley's Nipple, iirc and I think the Karens got that changed.

Yes, that's what they're trying now. But good news, the window on that is going to close. Reading some shit (Denninger's forum, and other places), the LIVs out there are starting to notice vaccine failure. For example, some LIV on Facefart was talking about how her husband had been full vaccinated since March (over 65), and he was part of a poker group that plays every weekend, all fully vaccinated. Well, two of the group gots the 'Rona now, symptomatic, and they were notifying them all. Wait a minute, this supposed to keep you from getting infected? WTF?

Or, they're far more likely to become seriously ill, or worse. Publius will have the details, but the jab is far more likely to cause the immune system to go into hyper-drive on a re-infection, than it is to help.

The minimum wage argument is mostly bullshit. 1964 was the last year they made coinage out of 90% silver, other than the Kennedy half which continued using 40% silver until the end of '68.
In 1972, the minimum wage was still $1.25 per hour iirc. It went to $1.50 in '73, again iirc. But you didn't get silver wages. And the last silver certificate dollars were printed in 1964. It is true that the dollar has lost purchasing power relative to precious metals, though exceptions abound. In 1900, an ounce of gold would buy you a nice suit; today it will buy you two. But in 2001, gold hit a low of $256 per ounce, which would buy you a very mediocre suit. Harrumph. Posted by: GnuBreed at July 24, 2021 12:17 AM (F0YaR) 342

What I'll be interested to see is testing of the "vaccinated, then got and recovered from Covid" group, and see just what their immune profile looks like. I wouldn't bet on it being better than natural immunity. Taking the jab fucks up natural immunity (it shifts your immune memory to favor the spike protein, and reduces total recognition. That is, all the various pieces natural immunity remembers get reduced at the expense of more spike protein memory). What that profile looks like after vaccination, then recovery will be interesting to see.

A Hart, Shaffner & Marx suit, bought from a reputable retailer such as Dillard's, and properly marked and altered before delivery, is all the suit one needs short of the TV studio.
If you're buying "sleek Italian Suits" and not built like a 35 y/o Pierce Brosnan, well, you're the fat old guy who pastes a toupee on his chest, wears the gold chain and drives the red corvette. A quality suit is worsted wool, cut in the timeless Bill Blass style, or something close, and doesn't lend itself to become the topic of conversation in it's own right. If the suit is the topic, you failed. If you're dressed correctly, all the compliments will be of the Happy to See You, You're Looking Great! variety. Or, if they mention the suit, it's because they've never seen you in one, or it's 'cause of how nice you look in it, lying there in your casket.

A nanogram is is one millionth of a microgram, which is one millionth of a gram. The dose of vaccine would be on the order of one gram, about equal to one cc of water. So, a does of vaccine would amount to about a billion nanograms, so the graphene oxide portion (if present at all) would amount to less than 1 part per million.

Heh. Just saw this. The president of Indiana State U, Pamela Whitten, fully vaccinated now has the Coof. She sent out a letter to the faculty and students disclosing this, and said, "While the vaccines are not 100% effective, I'm glad I'm protected from serious disease and encourage all to get vaccinated." They know that when the LIVs realize the efficacy ain't so great, then the vax push will fail. So, they're pushing like crazy. They know the real data better than any of us do as they have access to non-public sources. I'm already seeing "experts" saying, "We never said you couldn't get Covid with the vaccine, only that it would make it less serious." Do you remember any of them saying that at the beginning?

Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion The goals posts are on wheels, and motorized too! I think the vaccines (any of them) have only limited effectiveness, and the individual response varies widely. Some people are ok with the vaccination. It worked as advertised. Some people probably had literally no effect with the vaccine, and thus it is likely the vaccine did not generate the pathogen (spiked protein) and there were no antibodies created. Some people's bodies went into overdrive, produced huge amounts of spiked protein, had clotting issues and got very sick or died.

Yeah, what is needed is a serious, honest estimation of the side effect profile of these damned vaccines, what the risk ratios are. Then you can do a proper risk to benefit calculation. But that has not been forthcoming. In fact, it appears the powers that be don't want to release that information. It takes years to get this sort of thing, BTW.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at July 24, 2021 01:12 AM (UD+Mg) ------------------ Things have changed so much in the past year. Discounting all the whipsawing from the media. The vaccine was more attractive because the therapeutics were +/- unproven or were not permitted in the protocols that doctors usually follow. Today therapeutics are in the protocols and are accepted. If one chooses not to take the shot and does come down with the covid he can go to his doctor and receive a prescription for an anti-swarm medication and a z-pack, take his medicine, rest and recover. That wasn't happening a year ago. Somehow this good news has not made it into the general public's awareness. Posted by: Braenyard at July 24, 2021 01:20 AM (gjHJW) 391

Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock,
We blended in with the crowd We got computers, we're tapping phone lines, I know that that ain't allowed We dress like students, we dress like housewives, Or in a suit and a tie I changed my hairstyle, so many times now, I don't know what I look like! You make me shiver, I feel so tender, We make a pretty good team Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving, You ought to get you some sleep Posted by: Hatari Somewhere on Ventura Highway at July 24, 2021 01:44 AM (WF/xn) 412

Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at July 24, 2021 01:43 AM (B2mhs) --- i'll take that as a nibble: 'bout 6-8 weeks ago, i did some repetitive motion clean up in the back yard, cooked dinner, yakked on the ONT, and went to bed. woke up with a severely borked R shoulder and arm. tried the usual treatments: no joy.

Oklahoma forest cover 14.2%. A bit deceptive. All of that is in the eastern half of the state, especially up here in the gorgeous green NE part.

chiro NP writes note to my VA primary care quack, asking for MRI, so we can figure out WTF. wonder of wonders, he replies inside of 2 hours, agreeing that MRI is appropriate, and gives a referral.
got a call shortly after that from radiology scheduler (another miracle point) and she says first thing smoking in 7August. yeah, no. digs a bit more, finds 2 Aug. better, but i'm in serious pain and need a DX NAOW. looks again, and, assuming i get there on time, i have an 0800 MRI in Left LA in about 8 hours from naow. i should have a radiology report by lunchtime Caturday. here's hoping it's some weird sot tissue issue, and not a surgery fix: i'm 3 over my lifetime quota of ortho surgeries. and yes, i bought lotto tickets this afternoon. will wonders never cease?

A good physical therapist is a godsend, and they are few and far between, the same lady cured my BF from sciatica that was so bad he thought he was crippled for life

red - Good to hear. Generally speaking, all things medical have ground down to slow motion. Been trying to get VA to help me out with my hearing loss. This has been dragging on since 1st week of last December.
OTOH, having been passed here and there by two docs about a suspicious lesion, another looked at it, said, 'Wait here', came back in 5 minutes, gave me a slip for an appointment with a surgeon for *that* day in the afternoon.

Best of luck to ya red. I'm on a slow recovery from spinal fusion, L2-L5. It has been worth it, in Dec. I could barely walk. A predisone burst really helped then, has anyone suggested that? Posted by: Farmer at July 24, 2021 02:28 AM (55Qr6) 428
Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at July 24, 2021 02:09
And best of luck to you Mike H. I've had several things removed. All were precancerous but one was cancer. It wasn't the bad kind, I forget what they called it, it's been many yrs. So I've had cancer of sorts, but nothing much. Hope yours is benign. Posted by: Farmer at July 24, 2021 02:40 AM (55Qr6) 429
