Look, I haven’t been around as much as I like, but I have an excuse. Well, multiple excuses. Work, sure, NPR Lady, sure, all lame. I mean really, what’s more important than this? Anyway, I’m making up for my absence this coming weekend when NPR Lady and I are going camping in the Catskills. I have a pile of Yiddish jokes ready. We are taking her “project,” a woman who is, ummm, neurodiverse (not Down’s, but mentally challenged nonetheless) and is cared for by several different people out of kindness. Including NPR Lady, who actually takes her Progginess seriously and takes action rather than morally preen on Twatter. The woman in question is quite ebullient and smothering, so I’m nominated as the buffer.
Buffer is alliterative with birthday (how’s that for a segue?) and today’s buffers, ahhh, birthdays include the king of frankenfood; a guy who tried to be a worse president that Wilson and almost succeeded; a guy who will be forever remembered for an oil can; a guy who should have been a lawyer; a guy who probably never played a Les Paul; a guy who should have been in Rocky; a guy who actually wanted to see the sausage being made; the reason that the Indians will never win a World Series; and a guy who always pisses people off when I use him in Old Guy Music.
Shall we Link?
When I was a kid, or at least a much younger adult, I would from time to time see bumper stickers with a pot leaf and the slogan “Legalize It.” I always translated that mentally to, “Please pull me over and search the car.”

āThe indictments against the president are exquisite,ā Pelosi told New York Magazine in an interview published this week, referring to the recent charges connected to Jan. 6 and the indictment against Trump pertaining to his handling of classified documents.
āTheyāre beautiful and intricate, and they probably have a better chance of conviction than anything that I would come up with,ā she added.
Bipartisanship is for losers.
That would seem to be an admission of the ends justifying the means.
I was thinking “Talk about damning with faint praise….”
“…come up with” does have a certain connotation.
Again, they’re not even trying to hide it.
The conundrum has crossed my mind more than one Lent, let me tell you… (Eggs as well… yes, unfertilized — but the building blocks of a baby chicken… and if you can’t eat chicken…).
Then I learned how to stop worrying and love the tuna casserole.
The girlfriend (who was raised an unobservant Catholic and unobservant reform Jew) still doesn’t grasp that fish aren’t made of meat when it comes to Lent. She demands to know what they’re made of, and she gets irritated at me saying “Fish is made of fish, not meat”.
Tuna noodle casserole is still a comfort food to me, but I would not really subject others to it.
Wait… there are people that don’t find tuna noodle casserole (preferably with frozen peas mixed in) a comfort food?
Time for another Crusade…. heresy and blasphemy! š
Growing up it was always cream of mushroom soup (Campbells natch), wide egg noodles, and a can of tuna. That was it. No crunchy bits on top, no veggies mixed in.
I generally go with cream of potato or bacon soup and toasted bread crumbs on top. The girlfriend tried it the first time I made it one fall, and she likes it as well, but explaining it to people and expecting them to try it… I’m not going to make that attempt.
White Cheddar Mac N Cheese, Tuna, and a can of Mixed Veggies.
Make it French-cut green beans instead of the mixed veggies – plus some garlic powder and tarragon – and you’ve got a deal.
taking notes . . . .
To be clear, this never goes in the oven, although I suppose you could bake it if you wanted to. At Chez GT/TT, it was all done on the stovetop.
You forgot to define the soup used.
Cream of Mushroom, usually… Neph pretty much laid it out. I use panko if I feel like it… sometimes fried onions as if I were doing green bean casserole (if my son isn’t having any…. he mysteriously doesn’t like onions — which make me want to question my wife a bit…).
What in the crap are you talking about? Fish is a meat.

If the President does it, it’s not illegal.

Fish isnāt meat. If you ask most Latin Americans chicken is not even meat. Fish is practically a vegetable.
Driving back from camping in the Sierra Nevada this past weekend we had a newer Mustang in front of us with a massive (covering the entire back window) sticker of a skeleton puffing on a blunt and in large lettering above it āBluntedā. Even tho itās legal here that dude is just begging to get a DUI.
No doubt, itās not quite a Gas, Grass, or Ass bumper sticker but itās close.
I always wonder about the cars I see with the back half festooned with brewery stickers. I have those on my luggage, keezer, and kegs as is intended.
Yup. No way I would even consider putting an alcohol or drugs sticker on my rides. My all time favorite bumper sticker that I saw on a beater Ford 80ās pickup was āI brake for hallucinationsā.
Good song, I always liked Jethro Tull-hell of a guitar player and far and away the best rock flutist out of the, uh, three rock flutists I can think of off the top of my head.

Initial trip to new location I’ll be working in a month. 2 week ago my flight was grossly over delayed.
So we are experiencing delays out of Vegas now. Truly is weather. Should clear up in a bit. My plane is coming from ATL, so if that makes it on time, we should be still good to go.
It’s Spirit. (Initial typo Spirt – which I may use.)
You should be getting hazard pay. It’s an airline I won’t fly because of its lack of reliability. OTH, since I’m close to EWR as we know United hasn’t exactly been doing so well here either…
Having made that flight on both Spirit and Alligiant, I stick with Spirit.
They both suck, but I think Alligiant manages to take an extra 3 inches out between each row, mostly by removing any padding in the seats.
Don’t worry, if they cancel the flight, there’ll be another in 3-4 days.
Honestly, we’ve had good interactions minus the last time. I’ve had worse times on United that would make anyone questioning Spirit or Alligent to shame.
A bit of a bump in the road
The European Central Bank is on the back foot again and this time the bad news doesn’t come from Greece, Italy or any of the usual suspects in the bloc’s poorer south.
The club’s biggest member and supposed powerhouse, Germany, has been hit by a toxic mix of weak trading with key partner China, a slump in its large manufacturing and construction sectors and even some existential questions about a business model predicated on cheap fuel from Russia.
Trouble in Germany is hobbling growth in the euro zone as a whole and threatening to push it into a recession, rather than the “soft landing” of moderate growth and inflation that the ECB had pencilled in and the United States is still hopeful of achieving.
This is forcing a change of tune at the ECB — from ruling out a pause in its steepest and longest streak of interest rate hikes to openly talking about one as soon as next month.
And the market thinks the central bank may even have to undo some of those increases sooner rather than later, just like it did at the time of its last tightening cycle in 2011 when debt crises in Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Cyprus were accompanied by a broader recession. .
“There are some similarities between the 2011 circumstances and now,” Richard Portes, a professor of economics at the London Business School, said. “There was a major supply shock and inflation was clearly going to be very short lived.”
Nothing to do with fundamentals.

Hey, Derpetologist, I think I may have a general proof for any prime gap (regarding the difference of squares of consecutive primes). I could post it here, or somewhere else.
Decent read and why I hate both of the two dominant political factions.
I have been saying for years now, that until there is a forcing of the way, we will be stuck in this shit. We have diverged in our consensus, and there is no easy way around that.
The dominant parties are the edges. One side, RINOs and Democrats. (don;t say they aren’t aligned. They are) Other side, populist revolt. Nobody reflect the vast center. I proposed a party called the Common Sense Party to appeal to the middle. People really do want to shrink the Federal government and want it out of their daily lives. Nobody wants to hear about politics all day, not even us. Abolishing 90% of it would be ideal, but nobody should lead with that. Anyway, I have had the first of two vodka martinis this evening and I toast your comments. Let me know when we start on the new third party.
There isn’t even agreement on what the middle ground is in this country, but suffice to say that whatever it is, it would not be anything that the people here are part of.
You aren’t going to find a Democrat who wants to shrink the size and scope of government. That’s off the table for any middle ground party.
Itās a big article about nothing.
The true Democrats do not care one whit about right or wrong. Power is all.
The political right does not care about what is right or wrong. They only wish to have the power in their hands.

To track Thomasā relationships and travel, ProPublica examined flight data, emails from airport and university officials, security detail records, tax court filings, meeting minutes and a trove of photographs from personal albums, including cards that Thomasā wife, Ginni, sent to friends. In addition, reporters interviewed more than 100 eyewitnesses and other sources: jet and helicopter pilots, flight attendants, airport workers, yacht crew members, security guards, photographers, waitresses, caterers, chefs, drivers, river rafting guides and C-suite executives.
I wonder what we’d see if ProPublica performed the same investigation on other Supreme Court justices.

Hey, Derpy, I think I may have a general proof for any prime gap (regarding the difference of squares of consecutive primes). I could post it here, or somewhere else.

I emailed some of my ideas to math professors at the University of Florida, but they haven’t responded.

This is an article, not a comment. Submit it!
I just realized that my proof works for any two primes 5 or above. And the difference of the squares is divisible by 12, not just 6.
This chart shows that 6 is the most common prime gap up to 1.6 billion and that the remaining peaks occur at multiples of 6. That’s an interesting empirical result.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_gap#/media/File:Prime-gap-frequency-distribution.svg
All primes greater than 2 are odd, so the squares of those primes must be odd. The difference between any 2 odd numbers is always even. I’m still trying to figure out how 3 gets in there. For even numbers in general, the larger they are, the more likely they are to be a multiple of 3. And since the difference in the squares of prime numbers are increasingly large even numbers, it becomes more likely that they are multiples of 3.
6 is the smallest even number which is the product of both the smallest prime and the prime number with the smallest gap. I’m not sure if that’s important, but it is intriguing.
Euclid described 6 as a perfect number and gave the formula for all perfect numbers in the form of primes.

It seems a little too technical for a general article, although I suppose people can skip to the comments if they’re not interested. I’ll run it by Tonio.

In my over a decade of learning Japanese have never ever seen Japanese romanized like CNN did in this article.
Sanāin: Japanās least-populated region is home to some of its finest treasures
What is interesting is that it IS the way Wiki romanizes it.
It’s written å±±é°å° – ćććć. I’d romanize it as “sanin”. I guess the idea is to let somebody realize that it is not pronounced “sa nin” and is instead “san in”
Texas has welded steel armadillo statues, and BBQ. Beat that!
And a Cadillac desert.
Surprised they didn’t do it Sa’n’i’n.
It looks like the apostrophe is Modified Hepburn.
Interesting, thanks. If you are serious about learning Japanese you abandon romaji only quickly.
A wall of romaji is actually hard to read as itās not really commonly used day to day. Kanji give quick meaning once you learn them.
Romaji is for foreign devils who don’t understand Japanese.
So is hiragana only. It has the same issues as romaji with the exception of pronunciation being almost impossible to be read incorrectly.
Have you done a primer on Kana?
Not specifically, but partially.
https://www.glibertarians2018.link/2018/07/03/japanese-loanwords/
Modified Hepburn is the US official transcription system for Japanese
https://geonames.nga.mil/geonames/GNSSearch/GNSDocs/romanization/ROMANIZATION_OF_JAPANESE_KANA.pdf
Romaji gets strange with things that use ānā.
For example
ććć±ććå č¼©ć
Ā
noun
senior (at work or school), superior, elder, older graduate, progenitor, old-timer
The middle character ć is written ānā.
So youād write āsenpaiā in Japanese standard romaji. But Hepburn correctly notes that in certain uses the ānā shifts to a āmā sound and youād write this word āsempaiā which is closer to the Japanese pronunciation.

So anyway… fucking around with my car. Yesterday, after I put the exhaust back on, I decided to give it a quick start, see how it sounds, check for exhaust leaks. You know. Reach in and turn the key- nada. Hahahahaha. I resisted the urge to roll it outside, dump the can of mower gas in the window and set it on fire. Later, I went back out, and it fired right up, making me think I’m back to Square One. I went back in the house to ponder over a few beers. I decided to pull the ecu out, open it p and look for obvious signs of malfunction, and blow the dust out.
A little while ago, I was out there straightening up and putting tools away prior to pulling the ecu. As soon as I got down there, I reached in and turned the key. It fired right up. I did a bit of random fucking around, cleaned up the battery connections and put them back on. Turn the key, no fire. It spins like a champ; there’s nothing wrong with the starter. So- just out of random do-something-ism, I reach down and give the relay (under the dash by your left shin) a swat. The relay goes “click”, the Change Engine light goes out, and the car fires. Now I’m left wondering if I replaced my old bad relay with a new bad relay last summer. I have heard the stories about bad parts new out of the box, but have never had it happen to me. Maybe it’s not haunted by a malevolent spirit after all. And when it runs, it runs a lot better than it did before the distributor rebuild.
And I can hear members of the audience muttering, “And this is exactly why I don’t drive an old beater.”
Audience is thinking “at least you can fix an old beater and change out relays”.

Texas is correct. Don Escaped can verify. Louisiana is also pretty good.
Missouri’s is bullshit. That looks like BTK without the glasses and that guy’s from Kansas.
Seems a lot of hipster looks for states that are not hipster states. I call propaganda
I forgot tonight is movie night. The feature is:
āThe Assassination Bureauā with Oliver Reed and Diana Rigg.
Here is one you can add to your list:
Mike Jittlov – The Wizard of Speed and Time
Added.
It is a great movie. I have very fond memories of it. Low budget, but great effects.
,em>You are saying ECU, so the Honda?
Yes.
I need to get it back in the rotation because the other Honda (Element) needs rear wheel bearings (among other things). They are getting disturbingly noisy. Winter is coming.
I watched this last night. Entertaining but dumb. No boobs, I regret to say.
I found the movie I was looking for last week. It really was āBlood Car.ā From 2007.
