Stormy Weather Cafe

Dreaming in Daylight,
Roman Loranc

Hard to watch: A complete jagoff decides to stop and turn backwards on a high speed highway to make a turn he missed. The damage he causes is huge. But at least he didn't have to drive an extra five miles and take the next exit!

I call that the "Joe Biden Maneuver."

A Beautiful Mind.

Breakfast guests.

Another "flying car." Not really what I'm thinking of a flying car. I'm afraid I must insist on full repulsor technology.

I worry about Chinese engineering.

Wait -- is ping-pong badass?

Boop!

Wuh? I look forward to Mission: Impossible 7 when they use this to steal the presidential limo.

Again! Again! Again!

Monkey is amazed by the lamest "magic" "tricks" in the world. If you show him the "detachable finger" gag, his head would explode.

Correction: This is the way they want us to shop wearing AR ("augmented reality") goggles. Augmented reality goggles will superimpose computer generated imagery on to the real images of the world you're seeing. So you could play a game with Pokemons you can see hiding in your yard or whatnot. But the Steve Zuckerbrin types are dreaming up ways to make their stupid toys integral to your lives, like smartphones are now. Hence, attempting to create some need to wear a $1000 pair of AR glasses when you're just going to the supermarket to buy dog food and diapers. So they can have computer generated cartoon characters "interact" with you and sell you some more dumb shit.

Sound off: Polar bear and cub. The music that plays is so cloying you'll want to kill yourself. I think it's Phil Collins from his bad period.

"I. Am. A. Goose. And. I. Own. Your. Weakling. Asses."

Bipedal robot -- which is just legs with no body, which is odd-looking -- runs the 100 meter dash in 25 seconds. The human world record is about 9.8 seconds. Pretty respectable. Obviously robots will shred the human record in five or eight years.

The fastest reader in the world...? Um, doubt.

Just caught some of the Walker/Warnock debate.

I'm pleased as can be that Walker is more composed than "reverend" Warnock. The "reverend" just tried defending abortion at any time and said the exam room is only big enough for the woman and her doctor, and not the government.

Walker came back with this: "You're leaving out the baby that's in there. And you don't want the government involved, but you want taxpayers to pay for the abortion. That's bringing the government into the room."

BOOM.

I don't know who prepped him, but they did great.

Went for a drive to take in all the gorgeous fall colors today. The trees were almost frigid pink, hyper orange, and acid lemon. Maybe the sudden onset of cold weather amped up the colors? The leaves are certainly falling fast and we're due for frost next week.

29 3 weeks before the election, the political doom trolls have arrived.

Willowed response to comment about the "tossup" Senate seats.

Depending on who you talk to, the following seats are in "contention": GA, PA, NC, NH, OH, WI, CO, NV, AZ, WA.

Races that the GOP will win, they are over: NC, OH, WI.

Races that are trending strong to GOP (75%+ chance of winning): GA, NC, AZ

Races that are moving toward the GOP strongly: PA, NH

Races where Democrats are spending money and bringing Biden/Harris to campaign: WA, CO, PA

One off demo unit, which is really just a scaled up drone with the controls on the inside instead of a remote control head. Might be useful as a very short taxi service with the understanding that it returns to base to recharge after every trip.

And if the battery goes dead mid-flight, so do you.

34 Just below Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River are some old pilings that extend about a hundred feet off the river bank. They are just below the surface.
One Sunday a buddy of mine put on a fake beard and wrapped himself in a white sheet and had another guy fire up his boat take him out to the farthest one log.
And there he stood, and walked from one upright to another. The tops were just a few inches below the water level.
it caused a huge traffic jam.
Hilarious.

45 Modems can definitely be hacked, and that is a vulnerability in this election, but if republicans claim the modems were hacked it is just more unfounded claims:

While there’ve been no reports of modems being hacked in previous elections, the vulnerabilities are well known, and hackers have the tools to exploit them.

And the mere existence of these modem vulnerabilities could make it easier for Trump allies to disrupt the midterm elections and future contests with more unfounded hacking claims, say some former election officials.

99 Cops in Atl were mugging passengers in the jetways. They would wait at the end, just before you enter the aircraft. Pick someone out of line, demand their ID and boarding pass then ask to look through your carry on. Of course you had the right to say no. But you are holding up a boarding airplane, trying to make your connecting flight and probably tired and hungry. So you say "yes" just to avoid more hassle. The cops take any cash they find as civil asset forfeiture, and dare you to come back to Atl to fight for it back. They did it 430 times in 1 year. Took in thousands of $, only caught 3 with drugs, and 2 of them only had a bottle of prescription pills, but could not produce a written prescription to prove it was theirs.

That driver was a complete idiot. One should never stop and try to reverse in a traffic lane. Go on to the next exit, and double back, for fuck's sake. But if he absolutely had to do it, he should have preceded forward, edged over into the breakdown lane, and then cautiously reversed in the breakdown lane, with emergency flashers on, taking advantage of breaks in traffic.

In the late 70s in WI, the "cool edgy rock kids" looked.like what the media will tell you 1970 looked like.

140 One of the local Portland news shows has been running a series on the homeless camps. They did one on a family that had squatters take over their house. They've shown local groups trying to come up with solutions. They interview people in the area and they are tired of it. There are people in the camps that are violent and threatening. My favorite was the one where the homeless couple they interviewed went back and stole all the electronics from the news crew car. And it took the cops about an hour to get there. It's not a normal election there.

My point was that the media always characterizes a decade as looking like some new extreme thing that wasn't really prevalent. So if you say "50s" to a person who wasn't alive or into contemporary history, they think it was all greasers and Elvis, and everyone in the late 60s looked like Janis Joplin or the late period Beatles, and everyone in the 80s had checkerboard orange shirts and giant white sunglasses.

It's little wonder that ancient humans believed in gods and demons and tried to figure out how to appease them. When your knowledge of physics and meteorology is that things you let go of drop and water falls from grey-colored things in the sky that are always out of your reach, you might believe anything about why.

278 When I was young, I was kind of a loner and the oldest, so I had only my parents to look to. My dad listened to Herb Alpert and Nat King Cole, so that's what I first listend to. Then at about 12 I found a classical music station and really got into that for a couple years, learned about Bizet and Holst and Stravinsky and the rest. Then I went to high school and discovered what other kids were listening to - first Grand Funk and the Doors, but then I found Yes and Kansas and ELP and was blown away. Then the new wave came about and I was absolutely devoted to The Cars and The Police and Berlin and many others. Then I heard Stephen Ray Vaughan and I really got into his Texas Blues, and those like him.

Then Stevie Ray died, and that was it. I never listened to anything new after that.

324 My Pop was born in 1916. Most folks in the country still used horses. He rode a pony to grade school.
He used to talk about how he saw the world go from horse and buggy to man on the moon.

326 Brushing up on Christmas songs before the holidays.

I've decided to learn The George Winston version of Carol of The Bells.

The transcription is almost right but there are a couple of inaccuracies.

Now I have to dig out the CD and figure it out.

Bother.

Before the Income Tax was made Constitutional, the Federal Government got all of its revenue from tax on liquor, tariffs on imported goods, and various fees on businesses, ship owners, and the like. Oh, for the Good Old Days!

My Grandpa was born in '17. he worked at Boeing, in the old red barn. During WWII he helped build B-29s. He was contracted out to NASA for the Apollo missions. Most of his education was OJT, self-study and specific classes. Never got a degree.

He finally got to become a farmer. that was his dream.

The Greenie Weenies will outlaw horses for everything except competition riding by daughters of
billionaires. Horses eat too much and expel too much methane. 99 percent of the population will live like people through most of history - never going farther than a day's walking distance from the place they are born.

>>Learn how? To play?

Yes, I know the standard and loungy versions, I want to learn the George Winston version of that and Prelude, which is quite beautiful but the transcription I have is Japanese version and it's not quite right.

So I now get to figure it out.

No comments on the epic bitch slapping Hershall Walker is delivering in the debate tonight?

Moderator: "Would you support a Trump 2024 run?"

Walker: "Yes I would. President Trump is my friend ... I won't leave my allies, which is what Senator Warnock and Joe Biden did in Afghanistan."

Naw. Grandma was a Scottish redhead. Sweet lady, just did not want to cross her. She once berated a thug with a knife who wanted to rob the motel she was managing. He fled. Grandpa, and my Dad and my aunts were a little miffed.

Grandma said, "pshaw. he was just a scared kid."

I come from hardy stock.

346 Is the whisky rebellion when the North and South fought over whether it was spelled with an "e"? Whiskey?
Posted by: Cat Ass Trophy, Christian Nationalist, Defiant! at October 14, 2022 09:48 PM (TiGPW)

The Whiskey Rebellion was where Washington's government needed to satisfy its debts from France and from the Continentals they printed and promised full redemption (due to the bankers buying them up at a knock down price on the secondary market) and he needed money.
Hamilton suggested enforcing liquor taxes on the Pennsylvanian mountain farmers who brewed whiskey to deal with their excess grain crops, and when they tarred and feathered the tax collectors and sent them home, Washington and Madison sent Harry Lighthorse Lee with an army to bring them to heel.
It could have broken the confederacy.

348 Phil Collins' song "You'll Be In My Heart" was written for Disney's 1999 animated film "Tarzan". Back then, Disney wasn't an evil groomer #Woke conglomerate trying to turn your kids gay. They made family films you could take your children ages 5-10 to see, to sit together holding hands in the theater for at home feeling loved. It's neither cloying nor bad; for what it is and what it was intended for, the song is damn near perfect. I miss my children.
