Taken from a Quora thread (may require signing up or bugmenot to see it all). And also an invitation for all active or retired Morons in blue to de-lurk and share.
One of the things my upbringing did not prepare me for was the complete lack of civility that some people have. I didn't think of myself as having been sheltered from evil as a child, but I did not learn that some people have absolutely no regard for the welfare of anyone but themselves, and lash out at anyone who tries to make them aware they are not the only people on the planet
Everyone has a "hot button." Calm and even-tempered as you might be, there is some topic that will set you off, especially if it's referenced to you personally. It might be your height, your weight, your sexuality, your education, how much money you have, your mom, whatever. Rational people can become maniacs if someone pushes their buttons.
High-speed chases look like fun because they are.
Take away alcohol and stupid, and the world would require about 90% fewer cops
The number of homicides where neither the victim nor the perp knew two minutes out that it was about to happen is astounding. (See "alcohol and stupid" above.)
Sandra Fluke a Candidate for Time's Person of the Year
So her biggest claim to fame is that she declared to congress that she wants the government to pay for all her birth control and then Rush Limbaugh said something not so nice about her and this is enough to qualify her as the Time Person of The Year? Out of the 7 billion people on this planet?? What the fucketty fuck?!! Did someone just slip crazy pills into my brandy?!?
Democrats: The New York and California Party
A Smart Politics analysis of 83 general election cycles dating back to 1850 finds that the Democratic Party now comprises a larger percentage of Californians and New Yorkers in the U.S. House than at any point since California joined the Union.
30% of all Democratic members of Congress are from either NY or CA.
Here's an interesting interview with Michael Mauboussin, Chief Investment Strategist at Legg Mason Capital Management, on how to separate skill from luck in success (and failure). He focuses a lot on sports which leads him to declare basketball the most skill-based sport.
Basketball is the game that has the most skill. Football and baseball are not far from one another, but baseball teams play more than 10 times the games that football teams do. Baseball, in other words, is close to random - even after 162 games the best teams only win about 60 percent of their games. Hockey, too, has an enormous amount of randomness.
But he also touches on other areas such as the reliability of medical studies and why low class sizes are correlated with high test scores yet shrinking classes doesn't improve scores.
The Secret Online Gun Store That Will Sell Anyone Anything
Ok I'm pretty skeptical that you really can buy anything without getting scammed but this is the internet after all.
The Armory wants to make itself hard to access (for obvious reasons that have to do with not going to prison), so it's not as easy as just firing up any old website. In fact, it's not really on the web in any traditional sense. To get to The Armory, you need to deploy a free piece of software called TOR. ...The Armory's URL-ayjkg6ombrsahbx2.onion-reflects that, a garbled string of letters and numbers deliberately impossible to memorize. Once you're actually signed in, you then have to turn to Bitcoins as mandatory currency, a further exercise in computer secrecy and complexity in itself. This ain't exactly walking into a gun show and walking out with a pistol.
Still, the site prides itself on being about as easy to use as an illegal underground weapons dealership can be
And if these prices seem low, it's because they're in bitcoins which currently run at 9 dollars per bitcoin.
In 1922 Niels Bohr received the Nobel prize for his work on sussing out the structure of atoms. For his outright brilliance he was given a house next door to the Carlsberg brewing company, and had a pipeline running from the brewery into the house so that he could have a never-ending supply of fresh beer on tap.
This might also be why he didn't get a second Nobel prize. But his impact on the world was by no means done:
All sources agree that almost as soon as Hitler had taken power in Germany, Bohr played an active role in rescuing Jewish physicists out of Germany, typically offering them haven in Copenhagen before they could take up permanent residence elsewhere.[a] As for Sweden during World War II and especially in the autumn of 1943, it was far from certain that they would accept Danish Jews attempting to escape Hitler's deportation order. As related by Bohr's friend Stefan Rozental[30] and the historian Richard Rhodes,[31] Bohr was immediately smuggled out of Denmark in order to secure his services for the Manhattan Project. But rather than proceeding promptly to the United States, as had been planned for him, on 30 September 1943 Bohr persuaded King Gustav of Sweden to make public Sweden's willingness to provide asylum, on 2 October 1943 Swedish radio broadcast that Sweden was ready to offer asylum, and there followed quickly thereafter the mass rescue of the Danish Jews by their countrymen.
Ball Busters: They're Here to Help You
No more powerful magnets for you.
In the face of "baseless and relentless legal badgering" by the federal government, the manufacturer of Buckyballs is discontinuing its popular rare-earth magnet toy for adults. The company will continue to sell the remaining inventory, but will produce no more once the cupboard is bare...
The demise of Buckyballs leaves Zen Magnets as the last of 13 rare-earth magnet makers, though in a statement on their website, the company says, "Magnet spheres may soon be harder to acquire than ammunition in the U.S."The CPSC is now proposing a ban on "high-powered magnets that are part of magnet sets," but is allowing the public to weigh in on the proposal until November 19 at regulations.gov.
Surprising Things All Men Do (According To Reddit Users)
"Flush mid piss and race the toilet."
"Take an epic dump so intense that you had to remove your shirt because it got so hot."
"When I'm in the shower, I day dream about criminals breaking into my home to harm my family and how I would be a hero and fucking kill all the bad guys. I'm an adult man and have been doing this since forever." [um isn't this just standard guy contingency planning?]
All men at one point in their lives have given The Nod™ to another man for one reason or another. They have also given it to a woman, only to receive a look of confusion.
Additionally, they were never taught The Nod™. It simply exists within them naturally.

FYI, just got the following email
Hello ***,
We are sorry to announce that due to legal and
regulatory pressures, Intrade can no longer allow US residents to participate in
our real-money prediction markets.
Effective immediately, US residents can no longer
open an Intrade account. Existing US customers are asked to close out all open
predictions and request a withdrawal for the final balance of their Intrade
accounts before December 23, 2012...We strongly urge all US
customers to read this information immediately and begin the process of closing
their accounts.
We understand this announcement may come as a
surprise and a disappointment to our US customers, but this in no way signals
the end of Intrade in the US. In the near future we'll announce plans for a new
exchange model that will allow legal participation from all jurisdictions –
including the US. We believe this
new model will further enhance Intrade position as the leading prediction market
platform for real time probabilities about future
events.
For our non-US customers, we will continue to
offer real-money prediction markets. In the coming weeks and months we plan to
implement a number of improvements to the Intrade website. These include
expanding our market categories to include sports, adding more convenient
funding options and a new and improved trading interface. We'll keep you posted
on these initiatives as they develop.
Kind regards,
Carl Wolfenden
Exchange Operations
Manager

I believe also they have conceded to being chattel for the left men.
men are also not accepting of the responsibility of their sexuality and any consequence.
which is why i think they root for the women getting the responsibility (That they seem to not want) or the consequence on their own.
and Have others pay for their desire.
also what happened to out of my womb, hands off my boobs, and out of my bedroom.
none of this would even be an issue if they hadn't MADE everyone else pay for their fun.

re 39:
ST. PAUL – In a statement released just one day after Governor Sarah Palin’s historic acceptance speech as the first-ever female Republican vice-presidential nominee, the National Organization for Women declared Palin’s candidacy “a cynical effort to appeal to feminist voters” and a “slap in the face to real women everywhere.”
“She may be an intelligent, motivated, highly successful professional woman,” NOW President Kim Gandy said, “but she’s the wrong woman. She’s a bad woman. She’s not even half the woman Joe Biden is.”
Gandy cited Biden’s support for pay equity, his authorship of landmark domestic violence legislation, and his “lovely tribute to his mother” in his own acceptance speech as stark contrasts to Palin, who, according to Gandy, “foolishly believes in carrying all pregnancies to term” and “has consistently put herself and her career ahead of the fight for women’s rights.”
“It would be best for everyone if Sarah Palin would just stay home and raise her kids,” Gandy said. ”When you have one child with Down syndrome and another with an unwanted pregnancy who won’t even consider the ease and convenience of abortion, you need to be a better mother, not Vice President.”

The other, foaming and drooling with hatred at pictures of those who are famous for actually creating things. Sam Walton, the founder of Chick-Fil-A, people like that. Somewhere in the picture should be a subtle hammer and sickle, and the sun should be a wise Latina, looking approvingly on.

They had a Super Bowl team last year and blew it. Frankly that QB is a world class choke artist. Maybe they can get Dilfer out of retirement (heh!).

I think Ron Paul is a very good speaker when it comes to spending and taxes. It's the conspiracy stuff (especially the blame America conspiracy stuff) and the flirting with anti-Semitic shit years back that caused me to hate the guy.
His son has had a couple issues, but has largely steered clear of that.

capital gain this year. If I wait a certain number of days and reinvest
in exactly the same stuff, it will mean that I'll have paid only 15% of
tax on them, as opposed to whatever fantasy number they come up with
for next year.

she's a woman and Hispanic, checking off the identity politics boxes.
she's not an old rich white male.
she is from a somewhat swing-able state (it went for Bush in 2004).
her election would be 'historic' and 'unprecedented'.
and she's pro-choice, which should make the supposed millions upon millions of 'fiscal conservative, social liberals' happy. of course I would be pissed off, but hey, they don't really care anymore.

While chasing bad guys and solving crimes is a rush, the toughest thing I ever had to do was notify the parents that their two teenage kids were dead - killed in a car wreck on prom night.
I worked in a rural area, where everybody knew everybody else, and the parents and I knew one-another. Damned tough this to do, I tell you.
Now, back to the rafters.
Carry On.

Being a cop: read Soldier by Anthony Herbert, Serpico by Peter Maas, The Godfather by Mario Puzo, J. Edgar Hoover The Man and His Secrets by (I forget), The Politics of Lying by David Wise and Mindhunter by John Douglas.
What this means is that you will bring training, hard work and good intentions to bear while working for boobs, some of whom are corrupt and some of whom are Peter Principle promotions, masquearading as managers who are afraid of you who will sabotage your work sometimes by accident and sometimes on purpose.
Doctors, lawyers, accountants, chefs, hairdressers, teachers, fire fighters, nurses, waiters, secretaries, administrative assistants, landscapers, ditch diggers, FBI agents, Secret Service agents, pilots, drivers, priests, nuns,
If you lose your way you will lose your family, sobriety and soul. If you keep your bearings you will collect the retirement they owe you and be able to face anyone and ask them the hard questions life presents.
On top of all that then read No Angel by whats his name who infiltrated the Arizonal Hells Angels and watch Donnie Brasco and Casino to find out how screwed up it is to be a made man or a patch holder.
Being a square in the United States is the highest form of life on Planet Earth!

Problem is, having a door knocker that ISN'T engraved looks lame -- and, just like on the internet, putting any personal information out there just invites some jerk to try to use it for nefarious purposes. So I'm thinking of having one engraved with "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" ["In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming." -- pronunciation probably like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu-akdyxpUc or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOA5Chz3iU4].

Rush has given the Left much ammo on many occasions. It didn't help that Santorum was talking about banning contraceptives. Rush, Santorum, Akins and Murdoch did in the GOP. One good thing, the Socons are discredited now. So hopefully a more Libertarian GOP will come out of this.

Two doctors were in a hospital hallway one day complaining about Nurse Nancy. "She's incredibly mixed up," said one doctor. "She does everything absolutely backwards.
Just last week, I told her to give a patient 2 milligrams of morphine every 10 hours. She gave him 10 milligrams every 2 hours. He damn near died on us!"
The second doctor said, "That's nothing. Earlier this week, I told her to give a patient an enema every 24 hours. She tries to give him 24 enemas in one hour! The guy damn near exploded!"
Suddenly, they hear this blood-curdling scream from down the hall. "Omigod!" said the first doctor, "I just realized I told Nurse Nancy to prick Mr. Smith's boil!"

Stop with the drama. You can legally suck your boyfriend Chuckie's dick in the state of California
In fact, the new super-majority in the California is now, as a matter of fierce moral urgency, taking up legislation to make it mandatory.

fortunately, it includes a tax credit for sucking dicks while wearing assless chaps - you know, because the state wants to encourage you to *do it right*

The joke he thought of and didn't quite tell was funny. He screwed it up. He dodged "whore." Couldn't say it.
It's probably the most reliable laugh-word in comedy, but Rush is fundamentally nice. I know he saw that "whore" there flaming in his mind, thought calling somebody "whore" was rough, flipped through the ol' mental thesaurus looking for something that doesn't sound quite so Biblically harsh, unwittingly hit on a current feminist pride/trigger word, and bitches went crazy, and the white knight brigades charged.
Seriously, it's like comedy rule #1: Call somebody a whore.
No one who gets pissy about it is going on a Whore Pride march, and no one who actually is a whore or who thinks whores are OK thinks it's a bad thing to call somebody. They think it's funny. Because it is.
I really think his word choice mattered more than any other *single* part of the event/spin/bullshit. Dude looked weak, got wedgied.

I don't paint stuff for a living; I don't like painting, I do it as part of home maintenance stuff, and I hate the maintenance aspects of it -- so I do it sporadically and with old, leftover paint and generally cheap brushes.....and I hate it all the more because the brushes keep leaving hair in the paint and there are clumpy spots in the finished product.
So, am I making it worse for myself by hating the crappy brushes, crappy paint, and occasional failures (like finding half a can of hardened paint)......or (as I suspect) would it be even more awful if I had to clean the freakin' brushes for a time equivalent to the time spent painting and saw money fly out the window when I used new paint for each project?

I suspect that there might be some technological thing going on. What I've always known about from the store is latex paint.....but when I think of awesome paint, I think of stuff like they use at Disneyland -- where a million freakin' people run their hands down a painted railing or over a decoration, then thousands of cleaner elves swab it clean at night, and it looks as solid as a stone, with no hint of brushstrokes, empty spots, runs or drips, wear-throughs, bad coverage, brush hairs left on the surface, or chunks of dried paint bonded to the surface by new paint.

A bunch of it isn't -- I've seen painters repainting the railings over the years. And in the shops, there was a point where they were moving a cash register and it had broken some paint off a column. There's real wood under there, but there's a hard shell of paint over it -- and the shell is pretty thick, considering. And it cracks like a shell. But it sure as heck isn't "latex enamel" because it's really, really hard instead of yielding. I'm thinking that it's old-school non-latex enamel, but I don't know how that's done or if that's it for sure.

Sounds about right, but I've never seen it for sale in stores -- and, considering I live in the People's Republic of California and you can't even buy paint thinner any more, it's unlikely I will.

I use only high quality paint (Behr is damn good stuff) and expensive high density brushes and roller covers.
I paint to last. In paint, you really do get what you pay for -- better binder resins, better flow properties (less brush marks), better hiding power, etc.
Older paint can be used, but it should be vigorously stirred to redisperse any settled fillers; if the paint has skinned, remove the skin before stirring.
You can save some labor on cleanup by putting rollers and brushes in plastic bags overnight; that'll keep the paint from drying and you can just go back to using it the next day.
Cleanup works best with dish detergent and warm running water.

The reason lead was used in older oil based paint (actually in very small amounts) was as a catalyst for curing it. Once cured, it is hard and impervious to most solvents as it is a continuous cross-linked sheet.

We bought the house in '97. Before we moved in, we repainted.....using Behr. I'm doing adjustments in various rooms -- like, I did a bathroom window a couple of months ago, and I'm using the same paint for touch-up.....15 years later. Yes, it needs vigorous mixing, but I'm also not doing the entire bathroom -- just the spots that now need it. I'm mostly using little chip brushes or brushes from Harbor Freight.
I could go down and purchase another quart of Behr -- even though they'd mix it differently, 'cause they've had to change their colorants. And I could use a nice brush.....except I'd have to extend my painting session with a thorough wash, conditioning, and blow-dry. I shouldn't have to worry that my can is dried out and unusable if I buy a new one; I shouldn't need to be careful of dropping chips of dried paint into the mix, or having unmixed tints at the bottom, or having the damned lid rust if I buy new -- but I run the risk of it being a different color and I'm out the expense.

If the areas you are touching up have been exposed to sunlight, after 15 years the original paint in the can is likely not going to match very well either.
In the 70s and 80s, I worked as a paint chemist.
Oh, and if you really want to use that lumpy old paint, just pour it through some cheesecloth first to strain out the lumps.

It did surprisingly well after a couple of weeks -- and, of course, you can feather it in a bit. It did better than using a color-match or reformulated same-flavor paint. Wet paint never looks like dry paint, anyway.....
Which spurs me onto another wild digression. Where I went to University, the finals were at 7a-10a, 11a-2p, 3p-6p, and 7p-10p over a week depending on when your class met. Over the course of the 11 finals weeks I spent there, I managed to end up with one case of four consecutive finals [beginning at 3p-6p] and one case of three finals in one day -- so I am well acquainted with the concept of "epic FAIL" when you run out of runway and there's nowhere to go. And I got another dose of that when we bought this house and decided to paint it -- we wanted a shade slightly blue-r and lighter than it had previously been, and selected a paint after many swatches and deliberations......and, yet, missed the fact that the new color "wet" was a spot-on match for the old color "dry and aged". In other words -- if you rolled a wall, you couldn't tell the part you'd painted from the part you hadn't touched.
At that point, I could have hired a paint crew from the local Braille institute and had better results.

Cheesecloth comes in 7 different weaves. Latex paint wouldn't go through a dense weave like a t-shirt very well at all.
Yeah, you can use an old piece of fiberglass window screen as a strainer too. You need it loose though, as you might need to fold it up and squeeze the paint through.

Sure, why not. You might want to use a primer coat first, unsealed wood doesn't paint like a metal surface.
Be sure and follow their directions, esp. using UV resistant top coats if there will be sunlight exposure. It sounds like their temperature sensitive pigment is subject to UV degradation.
