  • Can you go back to the part where you said the stuff about the thing?
    "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984

    "One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

    "Good news! We have a delivery." Professor Farnsworth

    • Random aside: I’ll always remember my a-ha moment regarding layman journalists. At Cornell, I was friends with a polo team member who happened to be an English major. She did a summer internship at Polo Magazine (or whatever the premiere polo magazine is called). Out of the entire magazine staff, she was the only one who had ever even sat on a polo pony. The rest were just journalists with a gig - next week they might be writing for Gardening Monthly or the Journal of Gothic Tattoos.

          Um.... that’s not how it works. ESD shoes keep your body from building up static charge while they are in contact with the ground - exactly like the chains that trucks drag behind. If you’re in a car with your feet off the ground, they don’t do squat - your body will eventually equalize to the same voltage as the car. When you step out of the car, you’ll still be at a different voltage from the ground and therefore have the potential (no pun intended) to generate a spark.

            I suppose you're right, because it's the car you're discharging not your body. So there are really two scenarios here. Grounding the car and anything you've built up by sliding across those sweet shag carpet seats, speaking for mookie of course.

                No, but there are other disinfo tactics the suits can employ that trick people of average or worse intelligence into voting against what might be in their best interests.

                  Sports writing is famous for this. Bunch of wannabes who never played past squirts. The TV guys have the experience but need to be taught English. It’s a fun world.

                    • Egypt to the owners of Ever Given: pay us $1 Billion or or you're not getting your boat back.

                      • I'm gonna guess that the insurance payout for lost cargo is cheaper for Evergreen than paying Egypt what sounds like extortion.

                        Also, I would love to see an itemized bill of services, because their ain't no way in hell that boat needed $1 Bil in time and materials work...

                        • The boat is meaningless. Far more important is if Egypt tells Evergreen to pound sand (there's a joke in there) and that they don't get to use the Suez anymore.

                          Maybe they could shift their entire fleet of Asia-Europe boats, but that's not ideal.

                          • Keep an eye on the markets this morning... CDC and FDA are asking for a halt to the Johnson & Johnson Covid vaccine after more cases of blood clotting have been reported.

                            Airlines, hotels, and other travel stocks are moving downward in pre-market trading.

                            • Dow is down a little but NASDAQ is up 100 and S&P is up like 4. I dont think the J&J news will have a huge impact because more people get the Pfizer or Moderna shots.

                                Agreed, I was kind of surprised I got Pfizer. I (wrongly) assumed they were earmarking the mRNA vaccines for high-risk individuals and planning to throw all of the J&J vector vax at healthy people under 50.
