About the video in the last thread. A web comic I read years ago posed the problem of why, if you asked people to spread randomly throughout a room, they would space themselves evenly out. I keep that in mind when I need to do something random.

Another interesting number fact is that 1/89 = the sum of .1^n times the nth Fibonacci number for all Fibonacci numbers if you start with 0 as the first number (n=1). Spelled out:

1/89 = .1*0 + .01*1 + .001*1 + .0001*2 + .00001*3 + …

Once you get to the 8th number, 13, you start getting overlap in the numbers, but the math works out.

Republicans bitch constantly about there being two types of judicial system in America, and we see it every time a judge pats Trump on the head and tells him to stop being such a naughty boy for things the rest of us would be cooling our heels in a cell for weeks or months.

If Trump actually regained power and enacted his promised mass roundup and deportation of immigrants, it will devastate the economy. Boomers are retiring at a faster pace than young Americans are entering the workforce; even if Americans were willing to engage in physically demanding, dangerous, low wage work, there simply aren’t enough of us to replace undocumented immigrants who do that work now.

Which is why Christopher Rufo is hell bent on ending public education and repealing child labor laws. Republicans want kids to do the work that is now done by immigrants. They want 5 year olds cleaning hotel rooms, picking crops, flipping burgers, frying chicken, and waiting on tables. Besides Republicans will kill the minimum wage so those kids will work for pennies.

The people hyperventilating over how this will cause fast food places to have to raise their prices… have never done cost accounting.

Let’s look at a McDonald’s franchise monthly budget, shall we?

The largest outlay is rent or mortgage for the premises. Then the amortization or loan payments for the equipment. Third highest expense is utilities — the fridge, the stove, the fryer, heating or air conditioning. Then there’s the wholesale price for the store-brand frozen food they’re going to defrost and cook. Finally we come to labor costs, which barely makes the top 5.

If we doubled the pay of every McDonald’s worker, that would increase the production costs of your meal by about 4%. Your $10.00 lunch becomes $10.40, and the workers no longer qualify for food stamps and medicare and housing vouchers and all the other taxpayer-funded corporate subsidies McD’s has been sucking down.

The Brits kicked all the “foreigners” out as part of Brexit to the promise of “Jobs for Britons!” 4 years later, the government rolls remain as packed as they did before Brexit, food banks have far more users than they did 4 years ago, and Tory efforts to address this in the traditional conservative fashion of demanding work-for-benefits and legalizing child labor have had little success beyond coming up with new ways to blame everything from COVID to the EU.

Brexit was an absolute shitshow, but the Tories (in particular) simply cannot admit they fucked up.

The UK’s woes can be laid almost entirely on Brexit - granted, the COVID pandemic didn’t help matters, but Brexit is the chief culprit underlying their problems.

It is an absolute shitshow because, as the commentators I follow frequently point out, there’s numerous bits like import controls where the Tories have deliberately drug their feet to avoid the political and economic fallout. Goods are being shipped into the country without proper inspections because they either can’t hire enough inspectors to deal with the backlog or they’re deliberately waving trucks through to avoid people squealing about no goods on the shelves at Tesco.

One thing to remember is that Bernie had/has very little success getting anything of his own passed. He is a great and important firebrand but is not known for making the process work for him (the newer progressives, like AOC, understand the process much better. And even Elizabeth Warren, who is demonstrable more liberal than Bernie, understands). BIden, likely undertansds better than anyone how to make the process work for him.

Biden has opened offices in Florida and announced his campaign team there. He just campaigned in Texas(!), raising over $6 million in two stops, and likely eting $10 million form Texas in March, more than any other Democrat in history this early. (Hilary had the previous record with $7.5 million.) He expects to have over 100 offices opened up nationwide in a few weeks.

He has efforts to reach out to Latinos, to reach out to Catholics, to reach out to Haley-supporters. He is reaching out to anyone.

Sounds like a great plan.

I was really speaking more to all the Berners who I used to listen to in 2016 who insisted that Bernie was guaranteed to win the nomination/election because not only were the internets positively ablaze with support, but the huge turnouts at his rallies demonstrated that voters were desperate to see a “real progressive” in the White House.

Which is really a backhanded slap towards MAGAts who are still lying to themselves that Trump’s dwindling rally crowds are really just a media conspiracy and there remains enormous public support for their golden calf.

Got you. I am waiting for the Progressives to put forward real plans to bring the rural/white working class into the party. Using WFH along with the Inflation Reduction Act and high tech manufacturing to change the economies in many rural areas from extraction industries to service ones will be key. And I think rapid and cheap (re)training could really impact those without a full college degree. While my son has a college degree, it is the 10 week coding class he took that got him entry into the software industry where he has flourished. SImilar teaching/training within a 2 year community college arena could move huge numbers of these voters into the Progressive side.

Maybe someday.

There’s also the major difference between rally goers and the electorate. A huge rally, even a huge tour of rallies, is a drop in the bucket of voters that you need to get to win an election. And if the rally goers are just patting each other on the backs for being such superior individuals instead of reaching out to other voters to get them on board, it’s a total waste of time and resources.

And as the Trump mess becomes less like an actual campaign and even more like a cult, it’s also increasingly plausible that a fair number of the (barely) tens of thousands who do show up for each of his freak show performances are the same people traveling around and getting their hate fix over and over again.

And that, in turn, self-selects for the kind of especially creepy cultists who give Jordan Klepper such good material every time the Daily Show sends him out to troll the waiting line.

My once and current GF did that for a summer in the 80s following the Dead. Funny that didn’t bug me.

My ex would have done that for Phish. At that point in life though, I’d have said “see ya” and spent the summer finding interesting landscapes somewhere very different, preferably with an cute assistant of suitably ambiguous gender since that would have annoyed my ex even more than if she was concerned I was sleeping with them… 😈

There were (are?) a few pretty simple “bridge builder” games bouncing around a few decades ago. You were given 2D “terrain”, a few anchor points, and the ability to put down “iron beams” to build a bridge that you tested by running a “train” over it. The train making it to the far side was a pass for the level.

You learned pretty quickly about a few of the truss designs since they were the effective and efficient solution.

And the failure mode as you watched an attempt go to pieces was sort of fascinating to watch.

The video of the Francis Scott Key Bridge going down reminded me heavily of that game.

from new smax

As Christians head into the Easter weekend, the United States is in a “season in this nation’s history where there is a Marxist agenda” infiltrating the church, Rob McCoy, pastor of the Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Newbury Park, California, told Newsmax Friday.

…
He also said it is “strange” that former President Donald Trump is being “ostracized” for his promotion of Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” Bible, “as though that’s something terrible.”

So I guess that means there is room for only one agenda in American Christianity, and that is Free-Market Capitalism.

And if there ever was a real-life example of “Thou Shalt Not Take the Name of the Lord in Vain”, then it is Trump’s low-rent Bible grift.

We get Good Friday afternoon off every year. I spent my afternoon at the laundromat because it’s closed Sunday so I figured it would be packed today. The good news is, that after the sixth service call trying to fix my GE Profile washer/dryer combo, GE finally agreed to replace it, so I’m hoping I won’t have to make any more treks to Mom’s laundromat. I would not recommend buying the washer/dryer combo; mine broke down after only six months, and the technicians have told me there have been lots of problems with them.

Germans take their Easter observations seriously: Good Friday and Easter Monday are holidays.

Good Friday used to be taken very seriously, it was a stiller Feiertag, a “quiet holiday” with public entertainments and public dancing forbidden.

Those restriction have been loosened, but they do not ring the church bells in our village until Easter Sunday (where He Will Have Risen an Hour Earlier due to the clocks changing) and most good Catholics do not hang out laundry or work in their gardens.

‘Bombast’ frustrations plague Republican senior aides on Capitol Hill

OH MY!!!! MORE REPUBLICAN DISARRY!!!

rawstory.com

Republican senior congressional aides are considering fleeing Capitol Hill in droves over frustrations with heated rhetoric and representatives who put emphasis on “bombast” over policy, according to a new report and analysis.

The nonprofit Congressional Management Foundation recently published a new report on the poor job satisfaction of senior aides who don’t believe Congress is “functioning as a democratic legislature should.”

“Congress is broken,” the grim introduction reads.

According to the report, “significantly more Republicans (59%) than Democrats (16%) are considering leaving Congress due to ‘heated rhetoric from my party.”

The report is also the subject of a Washington Post analysis published Saturday morning that focuses on the impact of a new culture on Capitol Hill.

“What’s driving this new bout of staff departures is the overall environment,” writes Paul Kane. “That includes pandemic fallout…It also accounts for the ongoing toxicity since the January 2021 attack on the Capitol.”

My understanding is that they’ve been audited for a very “technically, this counts” degree of auditing that is suspect in and of itself, because they shopped for a very long time to find their auditors and gave a very small peek behind the curtain.

Furthermore, there’s just some obvious fuckery with Tether because it prints money to prop up the price of Bitcoin.

These depraved judges are inviting vigilante action against the perverts they let off.. Btw, predicting something is not the same as advocating it.

Brexit was an absolute shitshow, but the Tories (in particular) simply cannot admit they fucked up.

The UK’s woes can be laid almost entirely on Brexit - granted, the COVID pandemic didn’t help matters, but Brexit is the chief culprit underlying their problems.

I’ve been using Brexit as an example as where secession usually leads.

In a highly interconnected world small political units can’t stand alone. Plus in a world of transnational corporations small nations are fucked.

Oh, for sure. But was that line the poster’s commentary on the lightness of the sentence, or were they actually serious?

It’s a response to the trivial sentence. “Given the sentence, I’m not sure…”

This is annoying.

Ms. Cyborg ordered $200 worth of products from an online store and accidentally put our neighbors address as the shipping address.

Got a notification they’d been delivered yesterday morning. Checked with neighbor once we realized what happened. He says packages are not there. I know this neighbor and I don’t think he’d lie to us about something like that.

Called company. They won’t refund or help us because they say they aren’t at fault for a shipping issue and told me to take it up with USPS. (Sidenote: I was very unimpressed by the companies customer service reps).

There was tracking on the packages, so I’ll talk to USPS on Monday, but if that goes nowhere I may end up having to dispute the charges with my bank which is a PITA.

I really hope this doesn’t ultimately end with $200 out of our bank account with nothing to show for it.

Not that I know of. We live on a rural street and have amicable relationships with everyone on this block.

And unfortunately, since it was USPS, we have no photos showing where these packages were supposedly delivered.

re: #175 Eclectic Cyborg

Okay. I am in a large city and yes there are porch pirates in NE Philly. It is best to see what the USPS says on Monday. Also keep in mind sometimes these companies report that something is delivered and it can take up to 24 hours (or longer) for the package to show up.

Yeah, I know. It’s like McDs asking you to pull up past the 2nd window to make it look like they’ve got you through when in fact don’t even have food yet.

re: #134 Joe Bacon ✅

Was it Michele who asked about vacuum sealing blankets or quilts?

I remember Grandma Bacon wrapping up her quilts in wax paper when spring finally warmed up and she left them that way until Fall got cool. When fall came she’d open up the packages and wash the quilts in her old reliable Maytag wringer washer.

It was me and I don’t want to have to wash them again. I want to seal them until I need them and BAM! they’re ready to use.

I looked at all the vacuum bags for large items and I couldn’t tell if they had standard opening where the various vacuum pumps worked across bag manufacturers. Because there were some companies that just made bags and… Too many options with too little information.

As long as you have a vacuum with a hose you can use these. Or the included hand pump. Look at the reviews. Glowing. And 8 for just 16 bucks, free shipping and returns with Prime.

If you don’t have prime, maybe a friend does.

Is there an electric pump? Whipping out the vacuum or using a hand pump is hard for me because my hands are messed up. I have to involve the spouse, which is why I liked the ones that had an electric pump. I just couldn’t tell if they were standardized across the board.
