March 18 (UPI) -- Seres Therapeutics, a biotech company, has opened a donor collection facility to collect poop for cash in Arizona. The company operates GoodNature, which has set up shop in Tempe and is asking for donations of poop that can earn donors at least $25 and up to $75 per sample. IMHO American Airline sucks.

She wasn't overweight, but she has the sagging due to her age and a relatively plain face with the lines of her age. She didn't look like she did in that movie with Arnold Schwarzenwhatever.

I don't really care which end of DST it falls on, I just wish we'd pick one time zone and stick with it. I went into the issues in some detail a couple of days ago (and, fittingly, the comments promptly time warped throughout the thread) but the upshot is that aside from all the missed meetings DST and timezone calculation causes a lot of problems in the computer world. Someone picks CST instead of CDT to get Central Time, then complains in the summer that the system clock is one hour off. Or they think GMT is really GMT, but it's not, and they get the same problem.

Speaking of coffee. So I get this ad on YouBoob...
https://mudwtr.com/ It seems pretty interesting until you realize it's severely overpriced chai tea sold on a recurring basis. Yeah, no. But they seem sincere about their beliefs in getting people to wean themselves off of coffee. But nowhere in there does it acknowledge that beyond caffeine's ability to perk you up that it's even better at expediting a good ole dook. Sure, your fancy tea thing might have all these lovely health benefits but is it going to help me feel five pounds lighter? Posted by: Robert at March 19, 2022 09:22 PM (AnQNo) 72

BC, I get a kick out of your Robert the Cat comments. He's improving your life every day, as cats are wont to do. If he's active/interactive, you might look into getting a child's plastic fishing rod, and putting toys on the line, then casting to the other end of the living room. Catfishing is a ton of fun!

I never did the whole Easter Bunny bullshit with my boys. Easter is about the Risen Christ. We had a beautiful meal and gorgeous flowers from the garden and we often went for a walk to appreciate nature. Mass is to be avoided on Easter and Christmas. Too many twice a year Catholics who can't figure out how to behave and just want to be seen. Posted by: nurse ratched at March 19, 2022 09:32 PM (U2p+3) 101

I saw the latest Ghost Buster's this weekend - Afterlife.
And it was a really good movie. And...it looks like the Reitmans and the original cast all came back to make it specifically because they hated the feminist turd Paul Feig crapped out in 2016. Basically a third ghost buster's movie had been in development hell since the 1980s - with the original cast coming back but they could never put it together. After Feig's failure they had a script with everyone on board in three years. And I see the Reitmans were REALLY pissed off about what Feig had done. We need more of this.

The problem is the 80s creative class is largely the original ideological enablers of this shit in the first place and until they get PERSONALLY shat on they do not care. Feig went out of his way to crap on the OG movies really, you can see the passive aggressive "we're better take that" in his interviews and PR.

Here's a "movie" review: The Oscar animated shorts were a very nice (if a little bland) Aardman one, "Robin Robin" that will probably win, and an innovatively animated and touching Russian short which =should= win but probably wouldn't even if everyone WEREN'T anti-Russky all of a sudden.
The next two shorts include animal cruelty and bestiality. And the last one has just ordinary human awfulness, so it's practically a relief. Posted by: moviegique at March 19, 2022 09:49 PM (asXVI) 153

Oddly one of my fondest memories of childhood Easter baskets was the cheesy little toy chicks that my mom put on the top of the handle.

In the prequels one of the big mistakes Lucas made was having one guy, the Emperor, basically controlling everyone.
Make Dooku and the separatists the real good guys and the Jedi self righteous dupes and you have something of a story... And they did the same think with the Disney sequels.

Mary Sue Palpatine is him product perfected or something.... I get what he was going for, but if you take Lucas at his word (I do not by the way more on that later) he basically wrote Star Wars as a fuck you to Nixon and Vietnam so Nixon was the OG "evil overlord" in the Cali commie curious gearhead mythos. I think he is full of shit, Star Wars is what he came up with when the IP holders for Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon laughed at him and it is a good thing but it is a mish mash of Bedouin/Samurai/ and World War Two history cross indexed with the lived in universe space western. When he started scoring hippie tale from Berkeley as he broke up with the wife who saved the franchise with her editing he came up with "No no the empire are not space Germans with Brit accents they are America in name" to echo back their commie palaver.

Eh "maybe" the lore which yes Disney jettisoned implied two competing mythologies around the acquisition of the plans... the Bothans were the best slicers and spies in the universe and known for their networks in the novels and the other story was Han's pre-leia galpal was involved. Anyone I forgive it is was just clumsy and heavy handed with "it cannot be Star Wars without fanservice from the first flicks" and Lucas was just as guilty.... Oh look Chewie like Jar Jar just happened to be a General and blah blah blah....thank God they did not ruin Han Solo by having a 6 year old kid playing "young han solo."

Canadian mosque worshippers attacked with bear spray
Canadian police say worshippers at dawn prayer tackled and subdued a 24-year-old man who entered their mosque and attacked them with bear spray By The Associated Press; 19 March 2022, 16:48 MISSISSAUGA, Ontario -- Worshippers at dawn prayer in a suburb of Toronto tackled and subdued a 24-year-old man who allegedly entered their mosque and attacked people with bear spray on Saturday, according to local police. Peel Regional Police said the man walked into the Dar Al-Tawheed Islamic Centre in Mississauga, Ontario, and allegedly "discharged bear spray towards people in the mosque while brandishing a hatchet" just before 7 a.m. Speaking on behalf of the mosque, Nadia Hasan of the National Council of Canadian Muslims said a group of about 20 men were praying when the man sprayed them. [...] Mohammad Moiz Omar of Mississauga has been arrested. Police say they're considering "all possible motivations" for the incident, and charges are pending.

While I agree there are probably more pressing items to attend to at the moment, I have worked with too many black women who were told to "do something about their hair" when simply wearing it as God Himself made it, while at the same time allowing white women to walk around with "Big Hair" that probably took them 2 hours to fix. Not a fan of 'locks, but if a woman is simply wearing her hair the way it grows naturally out of her head, then her employers can shut the fuck up. You can't make black ladies wear their hair in a bun while the white ones get to wear theirs however they please. Posted by: Tammy al-Thor at March 19, 2022 10:48 PM (DJzqg) 304

No Moving Parts by Murray Yaco:
"Patience, patience," cautioned the navigator, haughtily, "if I am to reveal everything I know, I must do it in my own way. The description I just gave you is not necessarily true. It is simply the way that Sector Headquarters feels about Gypsies. Common jealousy, really. It seems that from time to time, our perfect little galactic society spawns men who don't care to be cast in the common mold. In short, there are a few men around with brains who don't think that it means very much to wear pretty uniforms or fancy titles." "Uniforms like yours?" asked Hansen. "Precisely," the navigator said sadly. "The truth of the matter is, of course, that I only play at being a navigator. I couldn't get this ship off course, if I tried. The same is true with the four engineering officers who stand around watching the Hegler drive units. They occasionally make a ceremonial adjustment, but beyond that, they simply stand around looking pretty." "No moving parts." Hansen said. "No moving brains, if you like. Anyway, a Gypsy has--somewhere along the line--learned how to do things. They'll take an emergency call about once a year. If they happen to feel like it."

It does seem like the sanctions are designed to seamlessly transition from being used against Russian oligarchs for waging a war of aggression to being used against Joe Rogan for giving a forum to wrongthink. Probably why the corpos are so eager--so hungry, even, judging by the nature of their PR statements--to start swinging it around.

Clark and Lois, and Batwoman and Legends aren't officially canceled I believe also Gotham Knights is coming. All Arrowverse Posted by: BruceWayne
Yeah, yeah, but but. I was being loose. Part 1 of 2 thanks Pixy. Always thought Arrow ran out of ideas about half-way through the first season first episode. Legends has amped up the crazy and amusing. Even with some gay stuff, it stays weird: One gal was impregnated by her gal-pal because the one wasn't entirely human. I'll grant it a pass, because it was all just so out there. Two best things in Supergirl: The publisher woman telling the superkids they looked like the cast of a CW show. And "Snapper Carr," a beatnickish teen in the '60s comics, as a bald old man editor chiding Laura/Supergirl for writing articles that were mush not journalism. I think he lasted about one episode, sad to say. (To be continued) Posted by: mindful webworker - this IS my secret identity at March 19, 2022 11:23 PM (F+wsb) 366

Superman and Lois is a latecomer. I've enjoyed the "Kent family returns to Smallville" theme, and it's been very strongly about family; the twin sons have a rare (for TV) real brotherly chemistry. At least neither of the sons is gay like in the comix. Also, Clark can be such a doofus. Batwoman? Never watched any, never will. Meh.

Yeah, I was a smokin' somebody in 2003, on the way to Iraq.
We stopped in Budapest, and while the plane was being refueled, we had to stay on board the plane. Some of us NCOs let it be known to the officers on board that we will be smoking on board the plane after more than 8 hours on the plane from Ft Hood to Budapest. The galleys on the 747 were opened, as well as every door on the plane.

Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at March 19, 2022 11:27 PM (AytXr) I had the fixed-focus lenses installed. I was perfectly delighted with them, and remain so. My doc advised against the adaptive or "pseudo-adaptive" lenses, saying i would find them potentially troublesome, and hard to get used to. And they would have been major cash out of pocket, whereas the fixed focus lenses were free, courtesy Alberta Medical. I don't need glasses to drive, and i don't need them to read this computer screen, and given enough light, I can read a newspaper or similar sized clear type without resorting to reading glasses.

gourmand. In the '80s & '90s, I ran a medium-large National call center. Sales support for outside sales reps, 147 U.S. locations, NYSE, Fortune 1000 company.
My boss was the President of the company. When he (mandatory) retired at age 65, his step-brother (the CEO) assumed the President title also. Shitcanned EVERYone that worked for my former boss. Knowing it was coming, I landed under a very, VERY fat Corporate Parachute. Still sucked. I had to walk in and fire all 60 of my employees, my entire department. I *knew* I would be canned, hence the parachute. Had no idea the CEO would be so vindictive as to kill-off the entire department. The re-established a new Call Center 18 mos. later, as sales had cratered without the strong appointment setting support.

Built a new front drive shaft for the Peon Jeep today. Got rid of the busted CV joint at the axle end, and welded on a pinion yoke off the rear axle of a wrecking yard Jeep. Two circular beads with 7018 rod, burned real sweet, too. Began bolting it up, discovered that screw heads of the U-joint strap screws were binding on part of the mating yoke, so took the front half down, and used a zip wheel to clearance both yokes. This time, it went together perfectly. Had it out on the freeway, no vibration to 70 mph. I am delighted.

... Twice. Posted by: SMH at God's grace at March 20, 2022 12:45 AM (VmzRz) Well there ya go. My favorite scar story is the very small one I have behind my left ear. I was at my parents' house, had gone out and come home extremely drunk (thank gawd a friend not as drunk as me was driving; ahhh, the old days when driving inebriated was okay as long as you didn't show it or hit anything). I remember standing in front of the toilet and pissing. The next thing I know my Mom is shaking me awake asking me 'Are you alive? Are you okay?' I woke up, thought 'Wow, my ear hurts.' There was a spot of blood on the pillow. When I went to the bathroom, I saw that I had passed out standing up, fell backwards over the edge of the tub and knocked the grouted soap dish out of the far wall onto the floor of the tub, then got up and went to bed. Had a ringing concussion for a week and that small scar as a reminder to drink a little less when going out. Or to pee sitting down when very drunk.

AOP, I got interested in the history of standard time and Sandford Fleming. It was a quite interesting read. Re the Equation of Time. That is only needed for setting the mean time at the meridian to be the base. Time zones are just offsets from that. Interestingly, in the US, before all this became standardized, different railroads would use a standard time for their operations, but each railroad used a different one! These were based on mean time defined. Some used the standard from an observatory in Pennsylvania. Others used Chicago time, etc, etc. The problem was keeping distant clocks synchronized with the base standard, and they developed telegraph time syncing standards for that.

I love the shout-out from RS McCain in the sidebar. As anyone who saw my impolitely rendered opinion this week knows, I take umbrage to the standalone description of ace as "cruel", as without clarification it is misleading at best and pure slander at worst.
A cruel man does not have a site with such open and loose rules for discussion, period. Ace is the golden exception to the rule in a rather cruelly moderated online world. And although I've had a couple moments where I was ready to self-jettison due to the zeitgeist in here temporarily taking a couple pretty beleaguered and disappointing turns, I never have. It is "cool" that Ace got the mention from VDH - but I'm pleased that I'm not the only one who took specific notice of what was said. Posted by: ... at March 20, 2022 01:31 AM (dscaa) 526
To clarify I'm not saying you *only* judge the cruelty of a man based on his blog rules (duh), I'm just giving the best well known example I have to hand of Ace's kindness.
The way Ace lets people go on about the vx despite his own opinions on the matter, letting all sides be aired freely - on a site which in the end represents *him*, is a clue. Posted by: ... at March 20, 2022 01:40 AM (dscaa) 527

Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion (Mzdiz) at March 20, 2022 01:30 AM (Mzdiz) WWV solved that problem. Canada has CHU, another timekeeping shortwave station. If they are still on the air. Back in the day, some major city AM radio broadcast stations had shortwave transmitters, too, to serve far-flung communities. CKWX in Vancouver, B.C. had a shortwave sister, CKFX. 49 meter band, IIRC. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at March 20, 2022 01:50 AM (P3gRi) 529

The act of being honest isn't necessarily cruel-- but if acknowledging certain truths is hurtful to some people, maybe they need to check themselves instead of lashing out about it.

No one is more professional than I.
I am a noncommissioned officer, a leader of Soldiers. As a noncommissioned officer, I realize that I am a member of a time honored corps, which is known as "The Backbone of the Army". I am proud of the Corps of noncommissioned officers and will at all times conduct myself so as to bring credit upon the Corps, the military service and my country regardless of the situation in which I find myself. I will not use my grade or position to attain pleasure, profit, or personal safety. Competence is my watchword. My two basic responsibilities will always be uppermost in my mind - accomplishment of my mission and the welfare of my Soldiers. I will strive to remain technically and tactically proficient. I am aware of my role as a noncommissioned officer. I will fulfill my responsibilities inherent in that role. All Soldiers are entitled to outstanding leadership; I will provide that leadership. I know my Soldiers and I will always place their needs above my own. I will communicate consistently with my Soldiers and never leave them uninformed. I will be fair and impartial when recommending both rewards and punishment. Posted by: SMH at God's grace at March 20, 2022 02:10 AM (VmzRz) 543
Officers of my unit will have maximum time to accomplish their duties; they will not have to accomplish mine. I will earn their respect and confidence as well as that of my Soldiers. I will be loyal to those with whom I serve; seniors, peers, and subordinates alike. I will exercise initiative by taking appropriate action in the absence of orders. I will not compromise my integrity, nor my moral courage. I will not forget, nor will I allow my comrades to forget that we are professionals, noncommissioned officers, leaders!

The Longitude Problem, as it was known, was one of the biggest challenges to navigation. The top scientific minds of the ages worked on it. In principle, it's very simple. All you need to know is a fixed standard time, from some reference, which became the prime meridian running through the royal observatory at Greenwich. Then you make some simple astronomical observations. The trouble is having an accurate and stable enough clock synced with GMT to carry with you. That turned out to be a bitch. You can look up some of the various methods that were developed to get around needing a clock. They were quite complex and not too accurate.
