— Open Blogger I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm drinking scotch and not regretting in the least my choice to leave the tv off all day yesterday.
Today was productive. Got a lot of projects tied up. I went swimming in my lap pool. (Again - not a "1 percenter" -- just relishing what you can find in a crappy housing market.) Ate leftover smoked goods I made on Saturday. And discovered that nobody else was doing an ONT.
Lucky you, I have a lot of bookmarks for just such an occasion. And to be strictly clear, that occasion is officially known as "An ONT from the idiot that said "if nobody else volunteers, I'll do it...""
Without further ado, allow me to waste Ace's bandwidth with stuff krak thinks are worth saving.
From Work Reference Material, the subnet cheat sheet that often saves me hours of troubleshooting why the stupid server won't work with the stupid configurations that were, stupidly, provided to me.
From Travel, a site dedicated to maximizing airline miles.
In its own prominent space, a bookmark showing the location of the crankshaft position sensors on a '97 Nissan Maxima. Luckily, I already fixed the problem, as this link now gets a 404.
Hey. I didn't say they'd be useful bookmarks to anyone. Just that they were bookmarks.
From the Financial folder, a link to the Ariad board on IHUB. I'm not telling you to buy, even though I think it's going significantly higher in the next 18 months. I just want to brag that my cost-averaged price is about 3.50. It won't take me from the ranks of the "99 percent", but it is going to buy me a sweet geothermal HVAC system this year.
I'm going to throw a curve to you from the Blogs folder. It's not really a blog, but a fun lists website, dogeared on 10 fun tricks to play on your noodle.
I'm pretty sure the Ganzfeld Procedure is responsible for this:
I think credit for that pic goes to therightsphere.com, but only because that's where I found it.
I don't know what is responsible for this, but I highly recommend not visiting the NSFW main website, right here, if you ever want to enjoy a tasty breakfast at IHOP again.
The artist has a thing for pancakes and nekkid famous people, not famous people, and rodents, in sometimes compromising positions.
Under my Hokies folder, a link to my favorite fan site, The Key Play. That's not to say there aren't many fine fan sites, but this one features some really rock solid analysis in the section "French on the Bench" in particular.
Plus awesome gifs show up like this one of former walk-on fullback and Team Captain Joey Phillips, who decided to do something crazy his senior year by paying homage to Magnum T.A. with this:
Finally, from my 2012 folder, a timeless speech given by Ronaldus Maximus in which he quotes Churchill:
They say the world has become too complex for simple answers. They are wrong. There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right. Winston Churchill said that "the destiny of man is not measured by material computation. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits-not animals." And he said, "There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty."
Remember our duty, fellow travelers. The road is rarely smooth. The weather is often foul. The powers that be are never going to stand aside, and never will relent from the furtherence of their neo-aristocracy.
I don't particularly believe that the way forward requires new ideas, or new plans. I think it requires only duty and the fortitude to weather the storm that has come to us with determination, and if possible, with good cheer.
So a tip of my soon-to-be-refilled glass to you, compadres.

Beck has a few flaws....
1) he is in it for Glen Beck which while understandable and despite my enjoying beck when he was a radio guy only ain't always the most attractive.
2) the great SCOAMFening's sequel had not hit.
3) It's Texas and frankly I think we should openly market it as the alternative to the left's domination of networks and make it known on the netowrk "Run red."
I would kill for a sitcom mocking the fuck out of the Blue State education complex quagmire...

I've said here a couple of times that we should be looking not at news but at taking advantage of the internet to create and distribute conservative alternatives to the media. I'd love to see a sitcom about a conservative who is forced to move to NYC by his company and hates the pretentious douchebags who live there.

My one major annoyance with Big Bang Theory is that they continually dumb down Penny. It'd be much funnier if they showed her tearing out an engine in one episode because, hey she learned to do it while helping her dad on the farm. Meanwhile the three guys stand there helpless while the only one who knows how to help her is Howard.

the kits are kind of spendy. the boy and I are trying to decide whether to do it for his science fair project or not. I think it would be fun, but I read some reviews that say gallium makes a huge mess as you are making the spoons.
I want the boy to do something way cool with the periodic table of elements. We can't blow shit up though apparently. And he says they would probably also frown on poisons and radiation experiments. This year is a big deal because they are graded on it in 5th grade it isn't just for extra credit.

125, yes, with separate channels by "taste". Faith heavy (eg Anchoress), not so Faith heavy (eg Adam Corolla), Stuffy putz (Hot Air), Morons, etc. lot of the same content, just packaged and mixed with unique stuff. Keep the libs out by by earmarking 10% for one of the following: Anti-Abortion, Heritage, Hoover, the NRA, or the Chamber.
Here's my idea for a news show: clips of Crazy Eddies Shultz, Tingles Matthews and that Rachel Maddow fellow spewing their lies, interrupted by a smokin' hot infobabe with the truth. One hour long, every night.
Call it BS, Inc. or something like that. Which reminds me, does anyone remember That Was the Week That Was?

Down at a place called Jug
With a girl named Linda Lu
When in walked a man
With a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you know who
He said, "Hey fat fellow
With the hair colored yellow
Watcha tryin' to prove?
'Cause that's my woman there
And I'm a man who cares
And this might be all for you"

Horde! How is everyone. Mrs. Squirrel has forced me upon a diet to shed a few pounds. Seems to me as irrational as asking a bear to diet before his great slumber through the winter....so instead of sipping delicious Scotch whilst typing to you find Morons, I am drinking some kind of detox tea. Mayhaps it is fair trade and socially just. For the children.
anyway, remember, the new presidential term is now, officially, short! Yeah, I know, it's gilding a turd. But at least the turd offers some kind of shiny sparkle on a gloomy night!

You deserve all the credit
You're an asshole tonight
You were an asshole yesterday
You're an asshole tonight
And I've got a feelin'
You'll be an asshole the rest of your life
And I was talkin' to your mother
Just the other night
I told her I thought you were an asshole

Question here.
Andy "Gunner" Cuomo is proposing raising the min wage to $8.75 per hour. I always thought min wage was what you got paid while your employer was deciding whether to keep you or not.
A high min wage posits (to me) that your expected to work at that wage through your career,with no further advancement.
Is this a misconception on my part?

it is another case of "magic democrat words" yes you are correct in economics minimum wage is defined as the minimum wage that a job can be done for acceptably, but thanks to the magic of "LAW" minimum wage in Donkovia is "eleventy kajillion!"
You want to know why you can't buy an inexpensive American shirt?
*ching*
Abolishing minimum wage and letting the market set baseline living costs would fix a lot of things, thankfully we have organized a system that rewards a group of people for keeping unskilled and entry level workers unemployed.

I don't know. The PEople's Republic of Washington has (I believe) the highest minimum wage in the US. Something like almost $10 per hour and is set to go up. THe economy would be in a complete shambles if not for Boeing, Microsoft, Starbucks and Amazon. But, as most know, many of these companies are moving out of WA due to the unfriendly business enviromnent. As it stands, the economy here, even with those businesses, sucks. And of course, it is simply isn't enough for a "living wage" or whatever commies call that term. Now that I look back on my post I notice I didn't answer your question, I just ranted. A thousand pardons!

If you are trying to make a living at a minimum wage job you are doing something wrong.
Perhaps a better question would be, why do we want to raise the cost of every good and service the working class uses and needs?

Sven,
Imagine that number in 5 more years. Hell, maybe 5 more months at this rate. This term "living wage" is thrown about like a bunch of hippies playing ultimate frisbee. Has anyone divined the actual dollar figure for a living wage, or is this just more jedi mind tricks from the libs? I mean, I am assuming the typical, socially just-progressive barista in Seattle feels a living wage should be about $100K for her part time work while she completes her novel or masters in 17th century french poetry etc

I made that point when I got back from the meeting with my realtor yesterday.
There are a lot of people who will happily pay $8.50 for a buffet that used to cost $4.75 and take the media's word for it that there is NO INFLATION!
I remember growing up telling some of the 20 something college kids that prices would go up when MW went to $4.25 and was right.
TSR books went from 10 bucks when I started working to $12.00 to right as minimum wage went up $15.00.
People never you get you never catch the tail, well they used to before price controls nuked the economy as I was being born.
If only there were a profession dedicated to teaching individuals who are uneducated in various disciplines a starting base of knowledge and used lab examples to get theories and laws of said disciplines at least a rudimentary exposure to a body of said individuals.
I wonder if you'd need special buildings to congregate groupings of these "students" together with a profession called "teachers?"

No bebe I am not trying to cause heat between anyone and Ace...the whole point of my thoughts going back to the other thread was in support of Ace's notion that the left in entertainment death of ten million papercuts us.
I get that my stuff is often angry, when I am not in the mood to be bothered cryptic and lacking punctuation but how shall I convey to you that while what beck does is good it is lacking in original Dramatic non newsy content to your liking?
Family Guy at one time volleyed left and right with semi-equal aplomb, and has devolved into an orgy of self-indulgent right bashing.
There's a reason I own five seasons and not more.
I am not trying to generate an ounce of heat with you more than needed.
I apologize, I am a downer and was rather angry all day that CBS' "political director" just tried to give Obama a fatwa on us OPENLY and is not ashamed he got caught.
Again I am trying to shift to a topic that came up that I have a little knowledge on, can sometimes make a mirthful point on, and try to leave with at least a snarl on my face that if one squints looks like a poor smile and maybe try for a smile or an eyeroll from some here.
I am sorry I gave such great offense by my lack of telepathy that giving Glenn Beck 2 grand to be and produce Glenn Beck was the way to get a sitcom or drama.
Again "sorry"

Question here.
Andy "Gunner" Cuomo is proposing raising the min wage to $8.75 per hour. I always thought min wage was what you got paid while your employer was deciding whether to keep you or not.
A high min wage posits (to me) that your expected to work at that wage through your career,with no further advancement.
Is this a misconception on my part?
Posted by: irongrampa at January 22, 2013 11:09 PM (SAMxH)
It's just not those jobs. A lot of union contracts have escalators in them tied to the minimum wage, so that if the minimum wage goes up then the union members' wages go up and the union collects more in dues which then goes into the pockets of the Dems for their political activities.

But in public, they all carefully maintained their television feud. They never ate, drank, or vacationed together until after Terry's car accident cut his career short in, I believe, 1985.
He could have been Ric Flair or even Hulk Hogan. He was a tremendous performer in and out of the ring.

His feuds with Tully and Nikita were awesome. I was working at a radio station part time when Mid Atlantic came to town and got to meet a bunch of the guys, and Magnum TA was freaking huge. He was about the same height as I was, but his chest was huge and I weighed about 225 at the time.

Or as a counterpoint to their blue city living at minimum wage buys you less comfort than in red rural. They rent whole houses in my area for $350 a month (split that with a couple friends). You may have to work harder to find a job but once you do you can live much better than the city folk.

I did not take it personally Lou I appreciate your response and I am not angry at Bebe. I am in an angry place, my son came home angry they wasted his class time today making him watch "Channel One" which is, I think, CNN's defacto Child Indoctrination Programming and their fawning coverage of Barrypalooza. The boy pointed out the teacher's use of persuasive questioning to try to guide the student's analysis of the event and meaning of his reelection.
Not using that as the sole cause in my darker mood as the weekend has progressed, Ace captured a gnawing point that had been eating at my attempt last week to "moveon.org" and highlighted Chuck Todd declaring Barack had been open on being a FABULOUSLY LIBERAL! candidate as a way to try to coach the public into thinking he is not lying when he comes after liberties. The fact that my house being only half as underwater as I feared not making me more happy has me worried. There are better things to do than torture you guys with my paens to my anger or round robin ruminations with those that can desipher my babbling and it is my sincere wish not to offend, or anger, or bore, or worry several of the regulars here I enjoy as I peruse the place lurking when able whilst busy.
Once long ago I was able to convey more humor and less anger inasmuch as i could make myself understood.. Breitbart said we should strive to be "happy warriors" but I have not been happy politically since probably 2000/2001 right up until 9/11 and my anger has only increased the more the public has not punished the left for their bad behavior. The decision on whether or not to go with a new nation if a national divorce ever happens is over for me, but my next task is trying to decipher whether or not I can make peace with my anger if the right decides that "there is no fight here to make and we cannot divorce to separate because "honor and patriotism."
History is a passion of mine, that may border on being a fetish in my darker hours and history tells me that an ostensibly capitalist culture once its conservative movement shifts to tolerance and more efficient managing of the welfare state is doomed to lose its power. It is easy to show several examples of empire's and great powers imploding militarily once the decision is made "butter it is to be in perpetuity!" while frankly only we arguably managed to still gain back power and shift. My fear is that that American public was still taught patriotic appreciation and values even while FDR was collectivizing far too much economic oversight and the current Democrat party will never allow that to be reestablished because they do not strike me as particularly loyal to America so much as the international left intelligenzia.
As I said "downer" and I allowed myself to get wound up in a conversation that was rapidly devolving into something I did not want about a point I was not making in a temper I am not wanting to share as much as I do let alone unleash on people I respect.
I've given my analysis of what strikes me as our best play, and I am planning to spare you the repetitiveness of my anxiety before I regained my confidence last fall-misplaced though that confidence wound up being.
Goodnight,
Sven

Have you worked with any trained elsewhere? Cause there are big cultural problems with solving problems on their own with most of the foreigners I "transfer technology to" in my company. (Though the twenty somethings from here are catching up in this problem area)

I have lost a Ruger P91DC .40, S&W 626 .357 and a Makarov 9mm in boating accidents. If I wanted to carry I'd pick the Makorov (being the cheap bastard I am). But never limit yourself to this will be the one and only carry gun I will ever own. Right now revolvers may be the ticket cause they aren't as sexy a year from now you may run across a great deal on that 1911. The gun that saves you is the one you treat well and is on you.

> are you more comfortable with revolvers or Semi-Autos?
Like I said, I like them both. I grew up with a 22 revolver, as well as a 22 S&W target semi.
Since then, I've extensively shot a Colt Python 357, and more recently a S&W Commander sized 45.
I'm torn between which platform for CCW.

I do metallurgy as a technician. I have argued with engineers from India and found they just try to see if they can bully science out of the discussion. Trained Techs in China who only want full procedures for CYA. None has been able to argue their point in logic or science yet. I agree we are producing an inferior engineer at this point but the little bit of our culture that hangs stubbornly on gives us a little bit of an edge still.

This is one of those applications where "what tool do you have?" works very well.
snips -- cut wire
pliers -- yank out
hammer -- smash to pieces
screwdriver -- get stabby
rock -- see "hammer"

That particular one, or the original mashup of "boys, boys, boys" with track footage?
"She already has" came up in conversation with the BH a while back, and I had to explain the reference without sounding like I spend all my time collecting drool while watching fetching Australian lasses.....
I digressed a bit into internet memes and included this for cover -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpmDAu_47OE -- I think it worked, she hasn't clobbered me yet.

Appy-Polly-Oggies, CC -- I am but a poor waif educated in California public schools, and had never encountered "Emergency Department" before.....probably because the emergencies here come with such frequency that there is "earthquake relief", and "fire management" and "public health department" and "floodwater mitigation" -- not to mention "task force on reduction of budget deficit". The idea that some glorious land elsewhere might have so few emergencies as to have a catchall agency for them is somewhat foreign to me.

CC -- how many of these reasonably common? I'd guess that it's quite few, but varies from hospital to hospital.
One of my chums from High School came really close to working as a diamond cutter, just by circumstance and accident. He had a guy all set up to apprentice him and get him going (he went to CalTech instead in geophysics and ended up at Chevron, IIRC). But the biggest thing about working in that field is contempt for the raw materials.....because if you thought too hard about it, you could never strike the blow. Medicine is like that, too -- if you perpetually second-guess yourself, you can't do the things necessary to help the greatest number of patients to the greatest extent possible. So you're working with the greatest thing imaginable to your customers -- literally life and death -- and you have to go home at night and come to work the next day. My hat's off to those who pull it off with competence, elegance, and style.

The nomenclature of medicine has been totally fed through the government meat grinder. There is so much BS in it that I marvel at the ability of doctors to cope.
Posted by: cthulhu at January 23, 2013 01:58 AM (kaalw)
Best. Decision. Ever.
I grew up with Kaiser (never see the same doctor twice). I'd previously had a succession of "check-the-box" physicians. Once I had referrals, this doctor warned that I would initially need a thorough physical (which I hadn't had for years). Right out of the gate, I was referred to a sleep specialist and began treatment for humongous levels of sleep apnea.....which I'd had for 20+ years.
Right before it got treated, my OSA was so bad that I'd fall asleep in meetings that I'd called and was supposed to lead about topics that I intensely cared about. It was horrible. I'd try to work around it by putting all my arguments in the agenda, but I'd be groggy when it came to discussions.
My 40th birthday "whim" ended up as one of the best changes in my life over the last couple of decades.

Seems it'd be one of those "framing" things that the left has gotten so good at.
"America's food manufacturers need our support."
On the plus side, it's a way to funnel more federal money to red states.
On the down side, anything subsidized by the government, we get less of (except Dem voters).

So, supposing we have a civil war. We are still going to have leftists.
But, none of this matters.
I keep rolling it around and run into the same problem: We will not have more liberty and freedom in this country anytime soon.
Not until a political entity at least the size of a city refuses to go along with the enforcement of the expansion of the federal government.
Outlaws always end up dead; you can't make a difference if you have to hide your face.
We can have Sanctuary Cities that flaunt immigration law with no consequence, but the "conservative" cities still follow all the laws, even the ones tightening the noose.
