Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (10/2/24)
Quote I “I got one of those bills from the IRS saying, you owe this much on this year, you owe this much on this year because of failure to pay on time — here’s the interest that’s accrued,” a former hostage who is a Washington Post reporter, Jason Rezaian, told NPR. Mr. Rezaian faced more than $6,000 in fees for unpaid taxes following his release after 544 days of detention in Iran. “This is an oversight that nobody really thought about.” Washington Post reporter, Jason Rezaian

I don’t have the precise reference, but I am confident that someone somewhere told us that women’s advancement would not be at the expense of men. A rising tide lifts all boats, they say. Feminists might not have wanted to use the phrase, because it makes them sound stupid, but they have promised women that they could have it all.

Unions seem to negotiate for a fixed wage increase over a fixed period of time. Instead of a wage increase indexed to the inflation rate (take your pick of the several versions). Or even an inflation rate plus a percent or two. So now that inflation is a wild card (if Kamala is elected), unions whose contracts are expiring lately all seem to be negotiating for an exorbitant fixed increase over a fixed period of time. Whatever floats your boat. Until automation and hordes of illegals sink your union boat. Can organized labor survive at this rate?

A while back, there was a strike at the Portland branch of Kroger, in part because "men are getting paid more than women".
It turned out that the best paid jobs at the stores were the guys who worked the graveyard shift unloading the delivery trucks at 3 AM.
Hard physical labor in the middle of the night.
For some reason, women weren't interested in that job, even if it was well-paid.

Surprisingly, or not, domestic manufacturers can actually have some competitive prices for fabricated parts, especially CNC machined parts. But it takes a big investment for the precision machines and automation. And unless it's an emergency situation, switching suppliers can be a long and painful process for certain companies that buy those parts.

Gen X that is going for Trump, and gen-Z scares me. They have the attention span of a squirrel on crack. We'll need to wait for the next generation.
Because it's 538 and they're still trying to figure out how they screwed up the mid-terms in 2022 so bad. If you believe them, then I've got a beach house in Arizona I'll sell you cheap.
ABC owns 538 now. When a right wing media company owns polling companies, count on slants.
Harris has a better than 55% chance. There are a lot of Red Wave polls in the averages. I don't think she has a 70% chance of winning though. The race could still go either way.
Ever hear those magas express their beliefs? It's like reading a transcript from a Jessie Watters program. Right down to wing outraged by the Harris "laugh". It's poisoned the minds of a very substantial number.
I'm happy this sort of question isn't often answered by automatically blaming the Democratic candidate anymore. Any Dem has only a roughly 50% of winning because the country is extremely polarized and facts don't matter.

On would think that some small fraction of cellphone users would have the smarts to charge their phone off solar cells, or an automobile battery, or a portable generator. No grid power does not equate to zero available power. And comms is important enough to get priority, especially since the power needed is tiny.

Yeah, the phone batteries will drain pretty quick, and yeah, they can charge them via alternate means. But by now the batteries the towers use for backup when the grid goes down are probably drained and with no juice to the towers the phones aren't going to be useful for much of anything. Right now it's HF radio and satellite comms IF you can find a way to power them.

Where the most extreme damage is - flooding, mudslides, etc - is where even people who had that, may not have been able to hold on to it. Someone shared a video from a young woman returning to her family farm, that had been flooded and swept with mud - I seriously doubt she would have been able to send anything had they stayed on the property during the worst of the storm.
Doesn't mean the stories are true, but I can see where there might be delays in getting any visibility for the hardest hit areas, even without malicious intent.

I've worked around LNG generators before. With a little TLC they'll run for a quite a while. Assuming there's fuel.
And, they're typically secured. Heavily secured.

As a Palestinian, I am sickened by this. Holocaust memorials or concentration camps are not a stage for your political stunts. If you truly stand with us, do it without exploiting the memory of one of humanity's greatest tragedies. Stop using our flag and suffering as a shield for your antisemitism.

Vice President Kamala Harris sided Wednesday with dockworkers who launched a massive strike this week that threatens to cripple the economy.
“This strike is about fairness,” Harris said. “Foreign-owned shipping companies have made record profits and executive compensation has grown. The Longshoremen, who play a vital role transporting essential goods across America, deserve a fair share of these record profits.”

Some of the towers can send data to other towers and on down the line until the data reaches its destination. Assuming they're within range and operating.
I would presume there is massive infrastructure damage, but stuff underground should be fairly safe. The overhead stuff in the area... not so much.
If the towers are up and just not powered, it's an easier fix than stringing lines.

Now, when Charlie would break out the 12.7 mm NSV, that'd change the equation, a bit. And the 20mm well, that'd ERASE the equation, and the airplane, too.
Aerostat anchored to float at +4,000 ft. AGL from the nearest peak or high point, oughta get it done.
And is a "good enough" solution for a few weeks while they do the work to get the real towers, back online.

I pop up as I am enraged, y'all, about what is going on in the mountains of NC and TN. It is personal because I have a very good friend who is up there, alive,but their house hit by a mudslide and they lost both cars. They will be fine if they get off the mountain, and I hope they decide to soon.
From videos tonight, some on r/Helene (still don't know how to post here as I remain stoopid)...well. Enraged is a word that does not cut it.
We have, as y'all probably know, independent helicopter pilots performing rescues on their own. Risking their on lives on their own dime. A man from FL said the military helicopters are far less in the air, with some on the ground, waiting for our heroes in DC (or whomever has Joe's pen) to sign Title 10. I don't know what Title 10 is, not being military, but I would gladly sign it to prevent further loss of life. Another independent helicopter pilot was stopped by "authorities" from rescuing people. More...

Mom taught ESL. Also-- freshman English comp & lit, and 'Technical Writing' at university. She was also fluent in Spanish and French. Knew smatterings of (conversational only) Russian, Japanese, Arabic and Chinese. She had a gift.

Why is it ok to scoff at "flat-chested" women... And then scoff more, if they get implants to not be flat anymore?
Just wondering, because I had a long chat with a lady at work about this subject years ago. We both were like: ??? What's up with that?

No, what I mean is: why do some guys act so... nasty (for lack of a better word) about flat chests, and then again, *nasty* about implants?
You know what I mean-- the snide comments about both situations.

No, no, most guys may like bigger breasts but rest assured that just like a meh pizza is still good, any woman's breasts are more than welcome when it comes down to actually having them in hand so to speak! Also, in spite of the hype, more than a handful is just wasted.

That "homeless" dude in the ONT video-- sure had a nice tent & stuff.
And looked pudgy & had very soft-looking hands. Probably never did any hard work in his life.

My junior year, someone wrote on the weird facts/inspirational quotes board in the English/Bible clasroom: "A scientific study has shown that Kansas is flatter than a pancake." Pooky's best friend wrote below it, "That's not very nice!"
Both got erased immediately.

Some of the best Thursdays, when I was working, was finding out the boss was taking Friday off.
It was almost as good as a three day weekend for the rest of us.

That "simple creatures" thing is not true. Not for every man. A lot of us are more complex than that.
Of course, what you say would work much of the time. . . .
