"In 2012 the CEO of Walmart made $20.7 million. Walmart has about 2 million employees (as far as I can tell, this is only counting the employees in the American stores). So, if you divided the CEO's entire pay among the employees they'd each get $10.35 more per year- that's not quite 20 cents per week; a half a cent per hour for full time employees. Woohoo.
Now, look at a paystub and see how much the various governments' steal from every paycheck, and then tell me who the real parasite is."
Until August 1914 a sensible, law-abiding Englishman could pass through life and hardly notice the existence of the state, beyond the post office and the policeman. He could live where he liked and as he liked. He had no official number or identity card. He could travel abroad or leave his country for ever without a passport or any sort of official permission . . .The Englishman paid taxes on a modest scale: nearly £200 million in 1913-14, or rather less than 8 per cent of the national income.
And at PJ Media, Bryan Preston has finally found the best description ever of MSNBC, something he reveals in the very first sentence of a post you'll want to read: "Religious cable network MSNBC rallied the faithful with a pair of heartworming [sic -- done on purpose] messages."
Are Americans All Latent Nazi-like Sadists?
Well that's what Stanley Milgram's obedience experiments in the early 60s seemed to imply. But when you look at the details of exactly what was done during the experiments they actually suggest the opposite.
For one thing a majority of the subjects (60%) in most of his scenarios refused to continue with potentially lethal shocks even when heavily coerced by the experimenter. And of those who did administer the shocks many were convinced it was all a sham (and they were in fact correct about this).
It's surprising how often Milgram's 24 different variations are wrongly conflated into this single statistic. The 65% result was made famous because it was the first variation that Milgram reported in his first journal article, yet few noted that it was an experiment that involved just 40 subjects.By examining records of the experiment held at Yale, I found that in over half of the 24 variations, 60% of people disobeyed the instructions of the authority and refused to continue.
...Milgram went to great lengths with the stagecraft of his experiment, and was dismissive of subjects' claims that they had seen through the hoax. Yet unpublished papers at Yale show that suspicion was alive and well among many of Milgram's subjects (which is not surprising, given that Candid Camera was the most popular TV show in the United States at that time).
Subjects wrote to Milgram or called him afterwards to describe what had made them suspicious. Some commented on how the learner's cries seemed to be coming from a speaker in the corner of the room, suggesting it was a tape recording. Others noticed the check given to the learner looked dog-eared and worn, an indication that it had been handed over many times before. The experimenter's lack of concern for the learner and failure to respond to the learner's complaints suggested there was nothing to worry about. Some subjects described how they had surreptitiously pressed switches of lower voltage but still the learner's cries intensified.
So we're not all secretly Nazis at heart and in fact it takes a lot of effort to get most people to act like one even under highly controlled conditions.
North Korea's Youth Revolution
With the execution of Kim Jong Un's uncle the young people seem to be in charge - and that's not a good thing. Just ask those lucky enough to survive China's Cultural Revolution.
The 67-year-old Jang was for decades a trusted eminence grise, the interlocutor in an otherwise eccentric family. His wife was the youngest daughter of the current leader's grandfather and North Korea's founder, Kim Il Sung. She was also the sister of the young leader's father, Kim Jong Il.Jang was appointed the de facto regent before Kim Jong Il died in December 2011, a job that included reining in youthful impulses - something the younger Kim clearly resented.
In a 2,700-word screed released Friday, Jang was accused of doing "serious harm to the youth movement in our country, being part of the group of renegades and traitors in the field of youth work bribed by enemies."
Just two years in power, Kim Jong Un has made a cult of youth the theme of his rule, investing the country's scarce resources in water slides, roller coasters and ski slopes.
Megan McArdle: Why I Try Not to Write Bad reviews
I am, as my family and friends will testify, neither nice nor sweet. And I have certainly delivered my share of scathing takedowns and over-the-top denunciations. But I'm not particularly proud of it, and as I backpack into middle age, I've been trying to cut down on the snark, along with late nights, red wine and almost everything else I enjoyed in my 30s....But that's not actually the main reason I avoid it. The main reason I avoid the joys of snarky takedowns is that it's not very good for you. Snark is immense, immense fun; the only thing more enjoyable than chortling to yourself over a particularly well-turned insult is having your friends and acquaintances e-mail to tell you how awesome it was. But if you're basically pretty good at snotty putdowns - and most bloggers have at least an apprentice-level facility with this art - it's almost too much fun. It's too easy. It's the writing equivalent of skiing the bunny slope.
I have written some epic snark, and I have written a book, and let me just tell you, there is no comparison. Books are hard. Reported features are hard. Sarcasm and outrage are easy, which is why they tend to peak in adolescence, unlike, say, mastery of nuclear physics.
Producing content is hard while snark is easy.
Apparently my Brit-emulator mode is quite good since my score was not too bad.
The Glock Ad You'll Never See on TV
Michigan Man Fired After Helping Put Out a Fire
Actually given his prior 'offenses' David Bowers seems like exactly the kind of guy you'd want watching over your store. Consider it Meijer's loss.
The Horrible Bad Bad Fisher-Price Bouncy Seat with iPad Holder
Eh - it's actually more interactive than a lot of the stuff people leave babies with. And sometimes mommy does need a break to use the bathroom and make some phone calls.
The seat is angering parents and child advocates who say the introduction of screen technology so early is harmful to the health and development of babies and claim Fisher-Price's seat hits a new low.
The Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood today began a letter writing campaign against the $75 product, calling it 'oppressive and destructive to young children,' while also naming it the worst toy of the year.
The AoSHQ group. Yeah.

I counted about six instances where I was saying out loud, "NO! DON'T DO THAT, DO THIS INSTEAD!"
And of course the _deus ex machina_ of the perp conveniently fainting at the sight of a gun, which is something that's nice if it happens, but doesn't actually happen all that often in real life. Professional crims typically have had guns pointed at them before, and while they might beat a retreat, they're not going to pass out from fear when it happens again.
Curious as to how others in the Horde took it.

Almost impossible.. suggesting upthread about cooking stuff first is good.
I move my pizzas around in the oven. I put a rack on the lowest rails I can, and move pizzas down there to brown and get crispy on the bottom.
The problem is getting them done on top with all that stuff on there.
In the end, you have to realize you can't have both. Cut back on toppings and sauce.

You got: Probably American.
Seriously. Check your passport.
No, don't. Another one of the fine print surprises in Obamacare: every American's passport has been permanently revoked.
Here's a few more Obamacare fine print surprises I bet no one here knows about:
- All Americans have been hereby named fans of Blossom and Dawson's Creek.
- All pizzas MUST be topped with arugula starting on 1/1/2015.
- There is no more 'Male' gender identity, we're all instead now variations on Female on a scale from 1 to 10.

For me it was when someone on the show gets pregnant and John (maybe others, but definitely John. Wasn't his characters name Dan? Anyway.) accompanies the pregnant lady for support. The chipper instructor is telling the class about Kegels and says something to the effect of "I've been doing them for the last few minutes, could you tell?".
And John slowly raises his hand.

Dead Like Me was three short seasons (or 2-1/2) and Mandy was in all of them. He wasn't in the pretty poor movie made several years after the TV show had been cancelled that you might be thinking about.

Don't bother. As someone who liked the Reboot as "good fun with lots of explosions" I say Wrath of Khan was infinitely better than "NOT Wrath of Khan- 'cause we said so, dammit!" could ever hope to be.
And Benedict Cumberbach as Khan? F that.
Posted by: AllenG (Dedicated Tenther) Channeling Breitbart at December 17, 2013 11:46 PM (nUH8H)
Word. The whole movie is a 9/11 origin allegory, where the US/Federation is the evil bad guy who created Khan/Taliban/AQ and got what was coming to them. To make matters worse, it's a shitty movie, confusing, asinine and pointless.

Another one was Everybody Loves Raymond, though I tend to prefer the later episodes. It's weird and maybe just my own bias, but IMHO at least I like how they were able to poke fun at (Robert's fiancee) Amy's very conservative Christian parents, who were played by Fred Willard and Georgia Engel, without the jabs coming off as some kind of political or social statement.

As I understand it, she's more or less said her parents came from the Ukraine to flee from communism. Also, her fiancee Ashton Kutcher recently made a statement about how much better it is to have a job-- any job-- than expect welfare to take care of you. And finally, she agreed to that Marine Ball date with one of the Iraq soldiers a few years ago.
So I would say no, Mila is no communist.

This is a very serious offer, and I look forward to hearing from a manly man with a large cock and a good personality. I'm looking forward to our first hookup, and our extended love affair. After I get to know you, I may consider giving you my most prized possession, my cherry squeakhole.

Communism is good in theory if you make one mistaken assumption about people: that if we were to somehow find ourselves in a utopia, we would become utopian in our behavior.
Of course, people being human beings and all, we will behave with all the virtues *and* flaws of the human race, dooming any theoretical utopia to utter failure.

That's like me becoming famous for inventing a theory that supermodels deep down really want to marry middle class regular guys. I'm sure that sounds appealing to a lot of people but it sure as hell doesn't make it a good theory.

108 days, BeNo station. Be no wimminz, be no whiskey, be no fun. But at least the Vincennes bagged that airliner. The 108 days was a damn lie, too, it was more like 125 when you figure that we didn't see dry land except to sail past it between leaving Mayport and getting to Naples.

I was sternly instructed that good lab discipline included NEVER using labware for food or drinks. Not even new from the box labware with no possibility of contamination, as it normalizes deviance. Bad habits can take hold from such.
There were some unpleasant real world examples described.
A shame, because I too thought the concept of a nice beer in lab glass was cool.

There was something about Nancy Travis in So, I Married an Axe Murderer that hooked me. As for Lauren Graham, she's always been one of those actresses who seem to turn up on every TV show in a supporting role, but always seemed just a little too hot to be relegated small parts.

That's part of the reason to go with the fetish toy catalogs. (1) Go to library, (2) Get on computer (you clearly don't want to use your own), (3) Google some terms -- "ball gag" might get you started -- and find the results that are NOT youtube, images, or clearly porn (something with "widest selection at great prices" in the little blurb has a good chance of being the right type of thing), (4) see if website offers free catalogs, (5) input asshole's info.

You asked a night or two ago, I think, if there were any new developments. Latest heart test finally came back and all were surprised by an improvement in heart condition and function, after a long plateau. Odd as I don't *feel* any better, but that's why I have two more doctors to see in the next few weeks.

People have idiosyncatic reactions to medications -- for instance, I am relatively insensitive to aspirin and cocaine derivatives -- I never understood why people talked about taking a pill for pain relief until ibuprofen, and have pretty much given up on dental anesthesia completely [and, BTW, I probably inherited it from gramps]. So he was continually on this thing about his blood pressure medication giving him glaucoma and his glaucoma medication screwing up his cholesterol and his cholesterol medications dorking his sugar and his diabetes control messing with his blood pressure, and every recommended course of action involved taking stuff with yet another side effect.

Yeah Benadryl and Melatonin make me bounce off the walls.
It gets weirder, though, drugs that aren't supposed to cross the blood-brain barrier, like Atenolol (or at least not much) have the same effect on me as carvedilol, which is lipophilic.
Probably because I'm not strictly human, but there's always that.

Agoura is pretty different from my youthful memories. I'm amazed at some of the upscale hotels now in the area, suggesting there is a significant business market. I suspect if I still lived in Thousand Oaks I'd have a much better shot at finding a full time job that didn't require a crushing commute.

I forget where, but there was some speculation that the difference between the branch that became modern humans and the Neanderthals was that modern human females have covert estrus and Neanderthals may have had (like most modern primates) overt estrus. Anyone who has spent time on a farm can mull over the implications of that.

Interestingly, ligers are the largest felines, because there are size-reducing genes in lionesses that are absent in female tigers. They're actually larger than Siberian (Amur) tigers, which are the largest feline species. Tigons, by contrast, generally are about the same size as their parents.

Modern humans have overt estrus. I think you meant hidden estrus, which is where signs of menstruation are not generally obvious.
Overt vs covert estrus refers to what happens to the result of menstruation - expelled in humans and primates, re-absorbed in most non-primates.
Posted by: Merovign, Dark Lord of the Sith at December 18, 2013 03:03 AM (qyfb5)
Yep -- I was using "covert" and "overt" as normal English words instead of parts of normal biological phrases. I blame the fact that I was dodging away from sentient beings "going into heat" and rushing to talk about large kitties.

The part I look for after determining it wasn't me or anyone I know, by virtue of the tickets being sold hundreds of miles away, is what kind of place sold the tickets. They get a piece of the action, 5% IIRC, so a big winner can mean a lot for the seller, too. In this case, it was a 'Jennifer's Gift Shop' in San Jose. So I'm thinking Jennifer must be pretty buzzed right now.
Around here, I suspect the big supermarkets compose a major portion of the lottery sales. I wonder how that works out. Does it carry any kind of reward for the employees of Ralphs #448 if a jackpot winner was sold at their location, or does the Kroger company take it all?

Speaking of which, one of the more fascinating things I encountered in the biomedical area is where they found antibiotics. They started out thinking, "we know where horrible germs are found -- places where you wouldn't want to touch anything if you had a scratch or have anything touch you if you had a popped pimple, and would want to wash everything immediately afterwards......but what keeps all this nastiness from getting started in these horrible places and just marching along until they're downtown?
So, they started sending grad students by the truckload to places like graveyards and sewers. There's a great example at http://tinyurl.com/m456nvp where Giuseppe Brotzu discovered cephalosporins in a sewage outfall off the coast of Sardinia. The grad students who actually collected samples are not named, of course.

The current internet runs on IP4, "Internet Protocol 4". This means that internet addresses resolve into 4-byte chunks. Since a byte can have a value from 0-255, this means that all possible internet addresses can be expressed as four numbers. For instance, if you open a command window and type "ping ace.mu.nu", you'll get a bunch of info that includes the four bytes for this website -- "174.37.121.35".
So, how does your browser know to contact 174.37.121.35 when you type "ace.mu.nu" into its search bar? Well, it asks someone it trusts, the Domain Name Service. Since there are only 256x256x256x256 possible numeric combinations, it's reasonable to synchronize names across just a few DNS servers -- that's only 4,294,967,296 possible mappings.
Mind you, there is nothing at all that keeps you from communicating with 1.2.3.4, even if it's not valid to a DNS. It's like having house addresses that aren't listed in the phone book -- the postal service still knows where they are and will deliver mail.
The next internet protocol is IP6, which will multiply the available addresses by 65,536 -- from over four billion to over a hundred trillion....and things will get increasingly interesting.
Since Domain Name Servers exist to provide a link between human-readable nicknames and IP addresses, the expansion will widen an opportunity for private linkages, outside the control of established institutions and governments.
