The nuttiest of nutty lib-er states.

Anywho, it seems like the Fox-Con deal was at some point reported to cost around $231,000 per employee. Was that before they cut back the number of employees? Did the subsidy also get cut back? Thank you Scott!

Presumably Meadehouse is too busy video taping individual MadTown protestors and reporting on handicap folks who are shitty wheelchair drivers to pay attention to the minutia re billions for the Chi-com-cons.

Dave said...: This was from the last thread, a quote by Chuck:

Chuck said...

If he does, let's hope that a court order stops it. Before a Democratic president can use the precedent to declare a "climate change emergency" or a "student loan emergency" or an "income inequality emergency."

Compare this to Nancy Pelosi and several other Democrats:
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/430098-pelosi-warns-gop-next-president-could-declare-national-emergency-on-guns

Here Chuck is either:
A. Taking marching orders from the Democrat Leadership

B. I will not be rude even to a moby, concern troll (ok a little)

C. All of the above both directly stated and implied

The importation of leftist voters is undermining our Democracy and is the most potent weapon the left has against the right.

Nothing else matters except shutting down the flow D voters.

Real Republicans know that. (Real Democrats know it too but they won't say it). (Does the period go inside or outside the parens)?

P.S. I read Obama declared ten different national emergencies. So that ship has already sailed, and I would think a sophisticated lawyer and political operative like Chuck knows that too.; 2/14/19, 8:38 PM

Big Mike said...: We had a good day. I took the wife up to Winchester to see an exhibition of Albrecht Dürer prints at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley. The The level of detail is amazing, not least because the prints are so tiny — most of the prints are roughly the size of a 3” x 5” card. (Does anyone still use 3” x 5” cards?) Just black and white prints, though the “white” stopped being white centuries ago. Not many opportunities to see Renaissance art here in the US, much less so far from a major city.

Then we ran some errands in Winchester, capped off by dinner reservations at one of our favorite restaurants. A good Valentines Day with the woman I love.; 2/14/19, 8:57 PM

While he had time for a media interview, he blew of a scheduled interview with detectives.

Looks like another member a protected class(es) was feeling lonely and reached out for some attention. Like to often occurs, intersectionality steps on it own dick.

Tired of the emotional exhaustion?

Do you long for an era when sympathy wasn't weaponized?

Well come on down to the dark side of the internet where supersleuths investigate fake-hate for free! They even screencap tweets of prominent celebrities and politicians to be used after faux-crime is revealed and can be used against them!

It's not hard! Do you have 2 brain cells to rub together? Do you have a loathing for grief mobs?

chickelit said...: Magenta was originally named after the fuchsia.*

Wiki: Magenta took its name from an aniline dye made and patented in 1859 by the French chemist François-Emmanuel Verguin, who originally called it fuchsine. It was renamed to celebrate the Italian-French victory at the Battle of Magenta fought between the French and Austrians on June 4, 1859, near the Italian town of Magenta in Lombardy.[4] A virtually identical color, called roseine, was created in 1860 by two British chemists: Chambers Nicolson and George Maule.

*Fuchsia (the plant) was named after a 16th century botanist named Fuchs.; 2/14/19, 9:49 PM
Fen said...: Dave, quoting Cuck

Cuck: "let's hope that a court order stops it. Before a Democratic president can use the precedent to declare a climate change emergency or a student loan emergency or an "income inequality emergency."

This is more Failure Theater from the Cuckservative wing of the GOP (and almost a plaigerism of Ben Shapiro).

We must not give the Dems a precedent they can abuse? Like the Democrats ever needed an excuse - THEY WILL DO THOSE THINGS ANYWAY.

But the GOP Cucks can't surrender quick enough. They never go the attacm, tbey never go for the ball. Instead, they play a Prevent Defense for 4 quarters astonished to lose to 4 field goals.; 2/14/19, 9:51 PM

I don't think Satan is that much if at all smarter than me.

Just evil.

Which we all have the capability of, and knowing its out, there, and we're not, allows for pride/hubris/solipsism.

While perhaps sinful to idiots who hate Jesus, the pride/hubris/solipsism mindset is as necessary as an infant spontaneously crawling after previously just floundering about, not understanding direction.

***Why is "cut" the first option when in a box with things like "copy" or "paste" etc.?

There is a reason.

Chuck said...: Dave, I am not taking marching orders from Democratic leadership.

I am taking orders from Jonah Goldberg at National Review:

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/trump-emergency-declaration-border-wall-funding-not-national-emergency/

Every morning around 5:45 am, after he's taken his dog out, Mr. Goldberg calls me on a dark red dial phone connected to a secure landline. Mr. Goldberg tells me what my marching orders are, and later that morning I get a memo that gives me further instructions on how to carry them out.

This morning, for instance, he reminded me that our opposition to a Trump National Emergency would be in line with many leading Republicans in the Senate, as reported by that other cuck news outlet, the Wall Street Journal. And the cucks who make up the Editorial Board of the Wall Street Journal said the same damned thing.

Thanks for your interest in my daily marching orders, Dave!; 2/14/19, 9:58 PM

"Chicago Police have shot down two local media reports claiming that its detectives thought “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett had staged his alleged hate attack.

In an extraordinary step, the police department’s top spokesman, Anthony Guglielmi, put out a statement on Twitter that said: “Media reports about the Empire incident being a hoax are unconfirmed by case detectives”

Willaim HOward Taft. William Howard Taft had a BMI of 42.3, according to a 2011 Forbes column

And others:

.

"Grover Cleveland’s BMI was 34.6, William McKinley’s was 31.1, Zachary Taylor’s was 30.2, and Teddy Roosevelt’s was also 30.2"

Nonsense. Aside from the fundamental colors of the spectrum (ROYGBIV) , ALL colors are composites. How do you think the spectrum transitions from one color to another?

The spectrum transitions from one color to another through wavelength changes.
When Igna says that Magenta does not exist as a single wavelength of light, she means it isn't a spectral color, she's right, it is a combination of more than one spectral color (a red and a blue: a high and a low freq, not just One freq).

HOWEVER!
That's true for ALL shades of purple, not just Magenta; but lilac; or, puce
Non-spectral colors
Among some of the colors that are not spectral colors are:
Grayscale (achromatic) colors, such as white, gray, and black.
Any color obtained by mixing a gray-scale color and another color (either spectral or not), such as pink (a mixture of a reddish color and white), or brown (a mixture of orange and black or gray).
Violet-red colors, which in color theory include line of purples colors (such as, approximately, magenta and rose), and other variations of purple and red.
Metallic colors which reflect light by effect.

All Igna is saying is that (according to Her,) ALL Purple's are called Magenta, and Pink is really Red.... Which is kinda Ignorant (but, expected of a Pinko that is really TRULY a RED at heart); 2/15/19, 6:39 AM

Possibly due to a tall nearby tree in that direction. I heard a couple of Australians in the same period so propagaion in general is okay.

here's a fun fact for you. When i was living in Ames, Iowa; most TV signals came from Alleman , Ia (Straight South (well, 178 or so). The ION station was in Newton (further away, and about SE). I used a Non-directional Antenna to receive broadcast tv).

Here's the Fun Fact. I couldn't receive the Newton station... UNLESS the trees had Leafs. From fall until early spring: No reception. mid spring until the leafs fell: Reception (marginal, but there). For a year i assumed that it was ice on their tower or something, but after 4 years of observation, it seemed to be leaf corelated.

I could see how leafs could HURT reception, but (in This case) they helped it (i'm assuming acting as a reflector or something); 2/15/19, 6:49 AM
I Have Misplaced My Pants said...: I wonder how long it will be before they are speculating about Justice Thomas' poor health. After all, life expectancy for AA is 5 years+ less than white folks.

Life expectency at birth is much different from life expectency when you're old.

If you're old, you're good for more years than you'd think.

Yes, this. Life expectancy has no meaning when talking about an individual person, as it's calculated based on infant mortality. It's a common misconception that because of low life expectancy people in the middle ages etc all lived to be 35. In actuality if you made it past 5 you're pretty good to go whether you're a modern AA or member of other lower life expectancy group or someone from Olden Tymes.; 2/15/19, 7:04 AM
stevew said...: Booker, et al, lose nothing and gain a lot by jumping in early with the outrage over these purported & reported events. Whether the Covington kids thing or Smollett, he gets lots of publicity for screaming how horrible it is that the kids disrespected the wise native american elder, or that the black, gay B actor was symbolically lynched! All the good people of the Left cheer him, and his standing among them is enhanced. Then when the facts emerge that the outrage is really just a misrepresentation or hoax, he gets criticized from the Right which only further enhances his standing with the Left. Win Win!; 2/15/19, 7:08 AM
Tommy Duncan said...: "Sources close to Chicago reporters have said the police were able to crack the case after their request for Smollett's call log was denied by the actor. They subpoenaed the phone records instead and continued to publicly treat Smollett as a victim of a hate crime. When he finally turned over a PDF file of his call log nearly two weeks later, investigators were able to examine which calls the actor omitted compared to their own official copy. His own tampering with the call log helped police narrow down which calls were important and who might have assisted in the hoax."; 2/15/19, 7:30 AM

Magenta is the only color that does not exist as a single wavelength of light.
Nonsense. Aside from the fundamental colors of the spectrum (ROYGBIV) , ALL colors are composites. How do you think the spectrum transitions from one color to another?”

“All Igna is saying is that (according to Her,) ALL Purple's are called Magenta, and Pink is really Red.... Which is kinda Ignorant (but, expected of a Pinko that is really TRULY a RED at heart)”

Why should the police have so much access to his pictures, friends' phones/contacts? This is Chicago, and you know they'd all be copied and then sold to the highest bidder. So kudos to him for seeing that.; 2/15/19, 8:10 AM
