Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - [scampydog]
Teach your cat about the struggle of the proletariat and the oppression of the bourgeoisie with this handy 4ft piece of custom architecture!
Even with the challenges of the Gaetz nomination, Trump announced his leadership choices for each of the 15 Cabinet-level agencies in record time. He announced his final Cabinet secretary selection—Brooke Rollins for secretary of the Department of Agriculture—on Nov. 23, just 18 days after the election. That’s about five times faster than the average of the last four presidential transitions.
The legend of St. Urho says he chased the grasshoppers out of ancient Finland, thus saving the grape crop and the jobs of Finnish vineyard workers. He did this by uttering the phrase: "Heinäsirkka, heinäsirkka, mene täältä hiiteen" (roughly translated: "Grasshopper, grasshopper, go to Hell!")
That's right. While Nancy Reagan was telling America "Just say no," the ladies of the Oasis were saying "Yes" to any man in Wallace with twenty bucks.

If nothing else, Trump can retain all authority (for AG and various Secretaries) in himself and have a staff of 2,800 that answer to him directly. Maybe hire a 'Receptionist' or twenty to take phone calls and dole out tasks to the 2,800.

1. Trump's Special Envoy to Ukraine was scheduled to visit today, but he suddenly rescheduled for after the inauguration. Perhaps somebody remembered Trump isn't officially President yet.
2. Supposedly, Zelensky had ordered an offensive in the Kursk salient, to demonstrate to the envoy that the Ukrainians can still fight and win. The Russians brutally crushed it.
3. Ukraine cut off the flow of Russian natural gas through the country effective January 1st. This deprives the Russians of serious revenue. It also creates an energy crisis for the countries to the west of Ukraine. This may not work out in Ukraine's favor.

The 2007 fires in San Diego County would have probably become the largest insurance casualty event in US history if the weather hadn't changed when it did. Day 3, as I recall, the wind died, early on. If it had continued through that day, the fire near the border could have well burned to the water, essentially wiping out whole areas such as Eastlake and Chula Vista. Many many thousands of structures destroyed.
Conditions now are potentially catastrophic. Brush moisture content, humidity, and wind. Friends and I were talking from mid-December about how holiday season wildfires seemed likely. No rain here since ..... March?

There were a lot of real tough looking people in there, and they kept giving us the side eye, so we didn’t stay long. (Cont’d)

||President and CEO of the Getty Trust said that some "trees and vegetation on site" of the Getty Villa Museum have burned from the wide-spreading Pacific Palisades fire Tuesday.
Katherine E. Fleming added that the staff and art collection at The Villa "remain safe."
"Additional fire prevention measures in place at the Villa include water storage on-site," Fleming said in a statement Tuesday. "Irrigation was immediately deployed throughout the grounds Tuesday morning. Museum galleries and library archives were sealed off from smoke by state-of-the-art air handling systems. The double-walled construction of the galleries also provides significant protection for the collections."||

I think the worm turned for Barry when he scolded black men about not voting for black Kammie. A lot of black men were pissed about that, his condescension.
I also think, thanks to Biden, black people had a chance to really look at Trump, ignoring the media bias. Many realized they'd been played by Hope & Spare Change, that Obama didn't do squat for black people. Then blacks found out Trump did a whole lot more than Barry ever did. Trump's 'I'm asking for your vote. What have you got to lose?' also resonated as blacks looked around at 60 plus years of Dem rule in cities and saw their lives were no better.
Barry was never a 'black' man, he was half-black but raised white. So his handlers immersed him in black culture in Chicago to 'blacken' him, to give him street cred. Barry is no different than Kammie, a fake black, it's just that Barry could actually read a teleprompter. But they were both verbally incoherent, never being able to speak off the cuff.

The stretch between Denver and Conifer is very steep and windy. It's very challenging. Then you have the vicious climb out of Conifer to Crow Hill and Shawnee. All of that is dangerous.
But from Bailey, CO to Canada, it's basically straight, flat, and forgiving. Same from Littleton, CO to Mexico.
So the people who drive it go barreling through the high desert at top speed. If you're coming from the North, you can suddenly lose it and smash into a cliff face. If you're coming from the South, you can suddenly lose it and plunge into a ravine.

After some serious drinking at this bar near the Mansfield Dam on 620, we all would roll back and cook off fireworks. It was glorious all of that shit-kicking metal thunder. So much firework inventory was in the air that the street lights went out and it was difficult to see across the street with the heavy acrid smoke of burned cordite.
Needed a snow shovel to police the area of all the firework casings.

Yes, all those US roads are pretty scary. But now add bomb craters as you're driving the single lane road on the top of a very narrow ridgeline. And your vehicle would approach the lane markers on BOTH sides on any road in America. And some local with a donkey-drawn cart wants you to move over so he can go the other way. Bosnia, '95.

When I drove through this spring, a nice Brit couple with two little kids in tow had managed to get one of those gargantuan 40 foot motor homes stuck. A rental. Dear old dad had an entrenching tool he borrowed from a jeep guy. He wasn’t a happy camper. I mentioned to the wife “Well the kids will never forget this, what a great adventure!” She said “Well first we have to make it out alive before we can reminisce”.
I could kick myself - because I wanted to offer her “a spot of Tea, right as rain you know!” In my best Limey accent. I did helpfully point out that the going rate for a tow truck to Elephant Hill in the Needles was about $500, “but that was 30 years ago”. She was not happy to hear that. LOL

I'm not a phone demon but my little knowledge is that the only valid difference is whether it's bluetooth or it has a port for audio, the newer one's don't require a proprietary connection - really incidentals.
They all run the same software and support goes on for years so, to me, it would be memory, - mine has 64GB which is roomy, (they come with 5GB of free cloud which is more than adequate for contacts, calendar etc), physical size, weight.
Technically, there is no reason to buy a new one unless the one you have is broke.

🚨#BREAKING: A significant wildfire has broken as parts of Southern California are under a life-threatening destructive windstorm warning
📌#SantaMonica l #California
A significant wildfire has broken out in the Santa Monica Mountains near Pacific Palisades, California, with numerous firefighters currently on the scene. Parts of Southern California are under a life-threatening windstorm warning, with destructive winds expected to gust up to 50 mph and some areas experiencing hurricane-force winds reaching up to 100 mph. Steady winds of 80 mph have already been recorded. Authorities report that the fire poses no current threat to Santa Monica or any structures at this time, but they remain on high alert as conditions are rapidly evolving.

My worst nightmare has come true, leaving me sick to my stomach just got this Text Moments ago from my sister. Please send your prayers for my family and everyone affected or being evacuated due to these life-threatening and devastating wildfires.

Yes, all those US roads are pretty scary. But now add bomb craters as you're driving the single lane road on the top of a very narrow ridgeline. And your vehicle would approach the lane markers on BOTH sides on any road in America. And some local with a donkey-drawn cart wants you to move over so he can go the other way. Bosnia, '95.

The numbered phones all have the same software and when it's updated they all get the same update as long as that number (number relates to the year it came out) is supported. Updates aren't perfect but they are a breeze (not an issue at all) compared to the other.
Amazon is an authorized seller. When you shop part of the information will be how long your phone will be supported.
One thing I really like is tech support which comes with any Apple purchase. Call them on the phone and with relative ease you will be talking to a human. It's easy enough that if I can't understand the help or if he or she is a snot I hang up and call again. That's how easy to get in touch with help. And it's as long as you own the phone.
My phone is an 11. My 8, which I also bought at Amazon worked fine until I smacked it with a shovel.

It really cracked me up when he announced his favorite musician was Stevie Wonder. Not to bash Stevie, but in BO's youth, Stevie was the favorite black artist of upscalish white people who never listened to black music. Total telegraphy of BO's real native culture.

And the Santa Ana winds have been part of the scene there since before the land was settled. "Climate change" has dick-all to do with it. Poor land management, poor forest management, and poor water management all contribute to the danger there.

I was just reading about the mechanism for the Santa Ana winds. You get a high pressure air mass over the Great Basin to the east, such as due to an arctic air mass.
Now, low pressure off the coast. You get anti-cyclonic (clockwise) circulation around the high which funnels winds through the mountains. Air mass in said winds gets compressed at it descends, heating up and lowering RH.
Result is high speed, hot, dry air blowing through like a mo-fo.

The fire in that area was probably miles away initially. You have no idea how quickly these winds spread the fire. I had friends who were told they had 2 hours to evacuate, and 15 minutes later the house 3 doors down was on fire. They barely got their children and pets out to the car. Lost everything.

The one thing I am more afraid of than anything is fire. Once a little bit out of control, it's over. I've been around controlled burns, with lots of people with shovels around the edges. Still scary.
One time worked on the 6th fl. of a 43 fl building. Being the new guy, I was the 'fire marshall' for my floor. One time the alarms went off. Everybody started to gather at the fire panel on my floor. I used the phone to try to connect with downstairs but could not. So I said to everyone, 'I can't contact anyone. I'm leaving. You can stay or follow me down the stairs.'

On roads, I-70 from Denver westward is usually benign, but I spent a real white knuckle evening heading up to Breck from Denver. A snow squall/temporary blizzard hit us right before getting to the Eisenhower tunnel. The kids and wife slept unawares through most of it, thank the Lord. It took me a few hours and a bourbon to get back to even keel after. Best drive? Texas FM 337 from Vanderpool to Leakey - an absolutely lovely, twisting hill-country road!

True! Although the poor things would probably in danger of another illegal alien issue that no one talks about.
I had an aunt and uncle who lived on an acre in Chino, and they got a few goats for that very reason. Came back from vacation one morning and found 2 dead. Cops said they had been raped to death. Not uncommon. Absolutely sickening.

Yeah.... was a ship board fire fighter.... actually fought 3 pretty good fires.
Really scary shit when you are using an Oxygen Breathing Apparatus, in the dark spaces of a ship... when you HAVE to kill the power first, so no light except what you bring.
Add in enclosed space with Steam and Smoke, so you can't see shit?
Have had numerous Locals try to get me to join our Volunteer Fire Fighters.... yeah... no... sorry.,

In my recent experience I would encourage you to take care of tires in Grand Junction or cedar City.
Moab has grown a great deal but services like replacement tires are still (or where) hit or miss.

Rick Z, fire in a mulit-story building would be terrifying.
I've seen some nasty wildfires here in Central TX. The Bastrop Complex fire was godawful. It looked like the sky was on fire day after day. We like to make fun of Californians here (bunch of locusts) but I wish them no harm. I am sorry this is happening to them.

Appreciate the concern, Tammy. We're packed and ready should the winds shift significantly or something sparks up to the north or east. We're ready to help our friend if she needs it (she's fostering a couple of dogs right now), but we're not in danger from this fire right now.

On the plus side, had an enjoyable drive from Summerville down to Beaufort to do the quarterly PSA blood draw down there.
About an hour and 45 minutes going the back roads and Highway 17 till you split off and go into Beaufort itself.
Lovely little town with the Marine Corp Air Station on the edge of it.
And taking Mrs Via's Miata on that drive is always enjoyable.
They did the whole screening panel with cholesterol and other tuff to require five vials of blood. Now we get to see if the daily diet change and walks continue to contribute to overall improvements.

So sometime today my Oncologist should give me the results, and see where we go from there.
His primary focus will be looking for evidence that the radiation treatment for recurring Prostate cancer remains effective, but he works with me on all the other stuff as well.
