Well since I'm feeling kinda tired and lazy I'm just going to grab 10 random browser tabs and call it an ONT. Because I can.
What's Worse Than Being a Terrorist? Being a Terrorist manager
Terrorist leaders also face a stubborn human resources problem: Their talent pool is inherently unstable. Terrorists are obliged to seek out recruits who are predisposed to violence -- that is to say, young men with a chip on their shoulder. Unsurprisingly, these recruits are not usually disposed to following orders or recognizing authority figures. Terrorist managers can craft meticulous long-term strategies, but those are of little use if the people tasked with carrying them out want to make a name for themselves right now.
...For terrorist managers, the only way to combat those "counterproductive activities" is to keep a tight rein on the organization. Recruiting only the most zealous will not do the trick, because, as the alleged chief of the Palestinian group Black September wrote in his memoir, "diehard extremists are either imbeciles or traitors."
Ten Simple Things You Can Do to Be Happier, Backed by Science
Most cost $0 and can be started right after you make just a few more ONT comments. Oh who are we kidding here - it's not gonna happen.
Debate waged by marquee.
Welcome to my world, Kevin. Just so as you know, this rule goes also for Obamacare, the economy, foreign policy, firearms law, and absolutely every other area of public policy. I have been called a "racist" for so long now that I'm almost looking forward to a Hillary presidency so that I can be called a "sexist" instead.

Apple patents tech to let cops switch off iPhone video, camera and wi-fi
Really Apple?
But they may not need to fear scrutiny much longer - Apple has patented a piece of technology which would allow government and police to block transmission of information, including video and photographs, whenever they like.All the coppers have to do is decide that a public gathering or venue is deemed "sensitive", and needs to be "protected from externalities" and Apple will switch off all its gear.
The police can then get on with the very difficult task of kettling protesters without having to worry about a few beating anyone to death.
Apple insists that the affected sites are mostly cinemas, theatres, concert grounds and similar locations, but it does admit that it could be used in "covert police or government operations which may require complete 'blackout' conditions".
Update: Eh never mind. This seems to be a bullshit rumor being peddled by Russia Today.
Not a cover - it's the Dolly version 45 played at 33rpm. Kinda sounds like Kansas.
This afternoon, I start Grendel, John Gardner's 1971 novel telling the story of Beowulf's first great opponent from the monster's point of view. The version I've got is identical to the one I read in Modern Literature my junior year in high school, where Ms. Martin, her hair in a severe bun but her eyes twinkling with delight, introduced us to post-modernism, existentialism, and the absurd.

Strangely, to give people the impression that the Impala's engine was working as intended, GM had to partially mask its real sound....But as you reduce the speed that the drive shaft is rotating, you lower the frequency of the sound it's making. There comes a lower limit where the engine is making what Gordon calls "groan-y and moan-y" noises which people find unpleasant. The car sounds broken. So cars had to keep the engine's RPM above a certain level, hurting their fuel efficiency, or risk alienating customers.
GM's solution was to implement active noise cancellation, the same technique used in some headphones to quiet ambient noise.
Are Swedish Women Sexual Predators?
Well I kinda hope so - so as long as they don't have sharp elbows and aren't too bitchy.

So sorry.
I said to one of my elders that she really did need to be careful regarding falls.
Pshaw, she said. And then fell. And suffered life-altering injuries.
I don't know what part of the brain stops working after age 60 that gauges fall risk assessment, but it seems to be amazingly consistent.
I suggested in all seriousness that the family start buying the sorts of modular padded rubber tiles that cheap mallfront martial arts dojos use to keep their insurance bill down.
I'm certainly going to do that for myself. Got to keep at least a modest distance in between my own self and the death panels, er, the federal elderly medical quality assurance boards. I want to make sure today's twentysomething Obama voters are on the hook for my care for a long, long, long, long, long time.

Here is how I described Emily's personality in story that is now 1,600 words
- self centered with a streak to torment her parents. She feels they ignored her for her brother. So is very radical against all her father has worked for to support her. She still accepts without a ripple in her conscience the apartment that costs $3,000 a month, she figures she is sticking it to her father and getting revenge. Her current boyfriend is another way for her to get back at her parents.

There was an MD who back in the USENET days used to post fairly prolifically in the various sci.med.* newsgroups. (If that doesn't mark me as an official Internet elder, I'm not sure what does.)
He was a specialist in gerontology, and one of his stock answers to stock questions, when asked what condition he saw most frequently among his elderly patients, was "Overmedication."
Yep.
It's absolutely unbelievable how many pills your typical retiree is shovelling down these days. Often with multiple meds for the same condition having been prescribed by different doctors. Love you, Medicare Part D.
This gerontology guy said that his typical patient was a sweet little old lady with the "weaks and the dizzies" who was taking fifteen to twenty different pills a day. He said that the weaks and the dizzies usually go away once the prescriptions get cut back down to a reasonable four or five genuinely necessary meds.
But guess what happens to the little old ladies with the weaks and the dizzies who don't get that situation squared away in time? They hit the floor hard in a fall and get badly hurt. Almost as though being weak and dizzy predisposes people to falling, or something. Who knew?

Gingy, this is a subject that led to my brother calling me a racist on Christmas Eve, and our not talking (except for family/holiday crap) for the last couple years. I hate that the other side usually won't even give us a few seconds to present our actual opinion before branding us as racist. My attitude towards this is "I would never want to hang out with a racist, so I won't make you do that either." And just isolate myself from them. Their loss, lol.

I find myself simultaneously cheering and chiding myself while watching sporting events. I wanted A-Rod to get drilled, but it shouldn't take Dempster four pitches to do it.
That's all I got. Screw A-Rod and his sociopathic ass-holery.

doesn't guarantee world wide coverage, but it does 'work' after a fashion (depending on circumstances) and it's a lot of fun. More fun if you build it yourself. $300 bucks (US) is a good price, if the equipment is any good, but it's probably not as good a a 'good' Japanese rig that sells for 2K bucks (US). Good places to buy used equipment are called 'ham fests'; 'flea markets' for used electronic equipment. I've spent some time with 100 watts or less output, and random wire antennas. It was a lot of fun. CW (Telegraphy) works better with weak signals, poor antennas, and lousy antennas.
If you want guaranteed world wide coverage you need high power, BIG antennas. It's like the NASCAR people say "a good big engine beats a good little engine every time".
If you're thinking survival situations you need to do some research on 'SigInt' (Signals Intelligence)

That's my understanding.
But what I was referring to isn't the decline in the vestibular system, it's the decline in cognition. Something gets to the executive function in later life where suddenly older people seem to lose their ability to competently assess certain risks. To include fall risks. I have seen this repeatedly.
"Granny, *please* be careful. You've seen what happens to other women your age who have taken hard falls. Your bones are fragile now."
"Pshaw. I'm fine."
Thud. Oh shit.
I expect crummy risk management skills to be a regular feature in teenage boys. To find equally crummy risk management skills in long since retired grandmothers was a bit of a shock. And it's so widespread that I wonder about whether it's a biological syndrome.

In their defense, it is an interesting topic that spans three categories. -Tradition; -Rivalry and Anger. Dempster was pissed and wanted his own "justice". I get it, but I didn't like it. It isn't Dempster's lot to be judge, jury and executioner. --but he did it.
-Rivalry adds to the juicy detail.
...and tradition dictates that New York be allowed to retaliate, but the Umpire took that away with the warning. It was pure intrigue and still is.

To say the explosion rocked the laboratory at St. Cecelia's Academy for Young Ladies might have overstated the case, but she was still never going to hear the end of it.
Claire Trevelyan closed her eyes as a gobbet of reddish-brown foam dripped off the ceiling and landed squarely on the crown of her head. It dribbled past her ears and onto the pristine sailor collar of her middy blouse, and thence, gravity having its inevitable effect, down the blue seersucker of her uniform's skirt to the floor.

First, they were nuts and often killed their followers either on purpose or by accident. Their craziness alienated many, who then escaped and went gratefully back to middle class life.
And it took at least two surveillance-free people on the outside to maintain one terrorist in hiding, getting money to them, finding safe houses, etc. It is really hard to do as police eventually roll up all their known associates.
IMHO our weakness is that we don't have the guts to do that. We never followed up on Tsarnaev because of political correctness. Fatal mistake. They were begging to be caught.

But "this it totes for reals" seems to be a human instinct of some kind.
Exactly. But I'm not sure it's instinct so much as "you'll think this is interesting if you think it's real", and yeah in a way I guess we all like to think things are real, like we're a part of something instead of just something some dope made up.
On the other hand, most of us here at the HQ like jokes. Jokes are really funny when we know they're jokes. Although if Meggy Mac really was a regular here, that *would* be funny.

That depends on your attitude, mostly. You catch fewer flies with fingers and taunts. Speculative questioning, on the other hand, seems to go a long way.
If you're wrong and ill-informed, admit it. That's easy. You brought the broken-ass feather-duster to a gunfight.
Philosophy goes as far as the difference between light and shadow. Stomp around the gray, and get called out. That's now in your boat, Cap'n. You can repel the boarders -or- light a fire -or- take on water, just as easily. Welcome to life!

Speaking of pies, in the movie The Great Race in the pie fight scene they used up $18,000 worth of pies.
Were the pies *worth* $18,000, or did they simply *cost* $18,000? We're talking Hollywood, here- the two are not the same.

Mine is actually from the POV of the guy who actually does the Reichstag Fire attack to start the whole thing. If it passes muster, instead of expanding it, I may do a second one of a libtard in the camps recalling "that fateful day..."

Prayers for your mom Jewell, and many happy returns to Peaches!
Re the comment about what changes in the brains as people age and falls, I wonder how much is physiological change, and how much is a kind of delayed psychological change?
Maybe the two together?
I am 55, and had a hell of a fall a couple years ago, tripping over my own feet rounding the corner from the front hall into the living room--racing the loop through dining room and kitchen with my teenage daughter and the dog, playing keepaway with a squeaky toy.
I fell full length WHAM, and just had to lay there for a minute because it shool me up. I wasn't hurt, but I had the distinct sense that that was something I SHOULD NOT DO anymore.
My father in law (80 in a few weeks) told me something that resonated about 7-8 years ago, when he was still playing tennis regularly (!): he said there were a lot of balls that he knew he could get, knew what to do with, and also knew (after a few strains and bumps) that if he went for them he'd hurt himself. He smiled and said it was really hard to struggle to just let them go, and say "nice shot".
Part of it is definitely physical change, but I think another part is that you don't really think about it until you have to: you feel fine until you don't, you know?
My grandmother didn't think about how old she was until we gave her this huge 90th birthday party, and she said for the very first time in her life she actually thought about her age and it freaked her out considerably. She got a lot quieter after that.

Nope. Three of them, (undisclosed-unknown political leanings), got loose and chased my friend and I all the way to the Walgreen's. I was able to duck inside the door, but my friend took the full weight of two unruly quilts.

jewells,
My best wishes for your Mom. Her issues sound a lot like my Grandma who we took care of. Falls an UTIs and the whole deal.
I'll tell you a story that might give you hope. About eight years ago I had to take my 99 yo Grandma up to the hospital to see her youngest sister. Aunt Helen 92 and certain to die.
She didn't but because of circumstances they sent her to a nursing home w/ hospice figuring she would die soon. Since then my Grandma passed at almost 104 and Sat. we go to Aunt Helen's 100th bday party!
Keep the faith and try to get your Mom out of her funk. Tell her about Aunt Helen who is a eight year survivor of being put on hospice! Drs don't know sheet sometimes!

"Then he made the sea of cast metal. It was round, ten cubits from
brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured
its circumference."
If you do the math using those measurements, pi=3. QED.

Posted by: cthulhu at August 21, 2013 12:23 AM (T1005)
Wait a second -- they measured with a line? As in, they took a pre-measured piece of string around the thing?
Well, then, if you look at the various cubits at http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/am/v2/n2/original-cubit -- it would have been perfectly reasonable if the measurement from brim to brim were in Babylonian cubits (50.3 cm) and the measurement around used an Egyptian (long) cubit rope (52.3 cm). That gets you 503 cm across and 1569 cm around -- which accords pretty respectably against the mathematical circumference of 503*pi, or 1580 -- 11 cn being about 1/5 of a cubit.
The ancients weren't idiots -- they mostly used standardized cubit bars on projects -- but it's pretty hard to measure the outside of a cylinder with a solid bar.

So apparently they took the youtube video of old dude punching a punk on a bus and extrapolated a movie about it. With a sequel scheduled next year. Starring Danny Trejo who is much older than I thought (and has about a billion fliskc in production.

depends on how much you like gorgeously well rendered art combined with porn and costume dramas. He seems to combine all three with a particular love of restoration era period, and a sort of free for all subject matter. If you like that then it helps A LOT.

Olives and pickles
Buy them for dollars
Sell them for nickles
***
Garlic, cinnamon, clove
The mice are in the stove
How they wish
That they weren't
When it's turned on and they're all burnt
Garlic, cinnamon, clove
***
Wish you had a bigger hat,
Or at least one that's nicer
You could trade it for a cat
Or a lemon slicer

That off-speed (aka xenochronous) version of Parton is so many times better than anything Kansas or any other of the testosterone-challenged y-chromosome bitches in the music industry ever did. Jus' sayin'.
If my beloved departed dog isn't waiting for me in Heaven (assume, for the moment, that I get there), then it won't be Heaven-like.
That AL GOP SNAFU illustrates our current pass. Bound up with rules to do the right thing: marriage is one man and one woman and their issue unto the generations; ghey "marriage" is two perverts for a while.
It's tempting to see the MotherJones thing as an indication that our Marxists are doing what the Russian ones did after they won their putsch, but those Russkie Commies didn't have a total digital dossier on every single one of their citizens.

WRT internet snooping, it looks like one of the institutional tricks is to route stuff from, say, NYC to LA by way of Winnipeg -- because, doncha know?, the NSA bar on domestic snooping is totally avoided if data crosses a border -- similarly, data probably goes from Vancouver to Quebec via Omaha. Looked at that way, you have two pairs (USA/Canada, NZ/Australia) where it'd be really, really easy to arrange such a thing -- and the UK, which probably has some arcane stuff about the Isle of Man being sovereign territory when it comes to signals intelligence, due to a treaty from 1635.
I have long suspected that the future internet will be far more canny about security than mere "paywalls" or "registration". I envision that anyone hitting a website will get a "key", with website content encrypted to it -- if you came in from typing the URL, you'll get one kind; if you came in from a search engine, you'll get another; if you came in from a trusted link, you'll get a third; and so on. As you use a key, it will become increasingly trusted until it gives you another key -- which will be the first one never transmitted in cleartext.
With further use, you'd be handed further keys -- which would only have been transmitted over the internet in a manner encrypted with the previous key (and, BTW, the encryption methods can vary among levels and keys).
A lot of stuff would include a photo to indicate provenance....because they're so hand for manipulation (my current resolution is 1920 x 1200 with 32-bit color -- if you sent me a picture that was 1/100 as big (192 x 120), you'd have 23,040 pixels to play with....if each one was either left "natural" or decreased by the lowest-significance bit in the color palette, there is no way anyone could ever see the difference -- but there'd be 2^ 23040 unique pictures. Mind you, 2^33 comes out to 8,589,934,592 -- or a smidge over the current world population of 7,106,133,290.....so you could give each pass of a Google spider a different image, as well as a different one to each user on each visit -- but if you had a copy of your image, you could immediately tell which session and which user had copied it.
And all this stuff would be running in the background -- your user experience wouldn't change a bit......if websites and browsers decided to provide this functionality in an open-source and verifiable manner.

Word.
The 11 and up 'stang has what they call a "sound tube" that basically ducts intake noise into the cabin so you can "hear" the engine breathe. Most of us just cap the damn thing off, I haven't capped mine but when I put the MRT Interceptor axlebacks on it I couldn't hear it anyway...not like I could hear it much to begin with when the top is down. And if it's above 65 degrees and it's not raining the top is down.
I know there were a lot more things upthread, but Happy Birthday Bomber for yesterday and Happy Birthday Peaches for today, even though I'm sure neither of them are on right now.
All this working for a living must cease immediately. It's cutting into my fucking around time.
Morning roonz and roonettez!

Just out of curiosity, are you out by Henderson? I've only got a vague idea about NC geography except it's flatter to the right and bumpier to the left.
Of course, that's in stark contrast to California, which looks like a train wreck -- after millions of years of tectonic collisions, go figure.

The kicker seems to be getting the benefits of a city without paying for it, while being able to have some space and some quiet. So, for instance, you'd want to be able to take off work early, have dinner in Manhattan and see a show on Broadway.....but not have Mayor Bloomberg pat you down, confiscate your guns, or keep you from buyin' a Big Gulp.
And I'm not quite gettin' how this plays out in NC. It's weird -- Asheville is Santa Cruz without the ocean; Charlotte is San Francisco without the bay.....Raleigh is much like the "official" parts of Sacramento, but without a lot of the neighborhoods.....so there are correspondences, but I'm not fully clicking on way things work. I also visited Gastonia, Thomasville, and Asheboro, and each was sad -- though just as pretty as the rest of the state, just as favored by climate, geography, and population.....but sad. I drove all over the place, and there was a whole lot of nice places.....but not a lot of nice things that people had done with 'em.
What gives?

Well, if she loses her bid for extended term in power, using the dead to promote her own political career wouldn't have worked. Whatever happened to R.I.P.?
It's said the living pray for the dead, and the dead pray for the living. Why would victims of NAZI Germany pray for Angela Merkel's political victory?
If it's the first time Merkel has visited a NAZI prison camp, worse for the wear.

I've been to Dachau -- the place is haunted. But that's not a reason to avoid doing speeches there -- the silent monuments tend to emphasize the dangers of government power.
