Lem the artificially intelligent said...: Car Rental Tip: With more people renting cars this time of year, this is a good time to mention. If you sync your phone to the rental car's infotainment system, please remember to "remove" the phone before you return it.

If you don't "remove" / "Delete" your phone from the infotainment system this is what can happen.

FullMoon said...: Any info on the number of dead from Covid after attending the infamous Sturgis bike ralley? Rumored participants over half a million, so expect thousands upon thousands dead.
Not to mention all the dead from participants spreading disease after leaving rally.; 7/9/23, 7:22 PM
lonejustice said...: I am an avid swimmer. It's my favorite exercise. I can swim 50 laps in an Olympic size swimming pool if I get in the groove. I've gone swimming in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Black and Red Seas. I would love to jump into Lake Mendota on a hot summer afternoon and swim for awhile.; 7/9/23, 8:05 PM

lonejustice said...: I just finished watching the last season of the Ray Donovan series. One of my favorites. This is the Linda Ronstadt epilogue song. One of my all time favorites. Brings back so many memories of my misspent youth, and the young women I should have held on to, and maybe even married.

gilbar said...: Biden the Angry: NY Mag Puff Piece Inadvertently Reveals He's Actually Pretty Nasty
New York Magazine’s “Intelligencer” feature ran a fawning portrayal of President Joe Biden Friday, which mostly focused on his ice cream habits, cute text arguments with wife Jill, and his aching desire to be home in Delaware..
The article goes on to describe how Biden “eats like a child,” hides a TV in the Oval Office, and can’t tell you whether he has a Peloton because it’s a security risk. All pretty humdrum stuff..
In May 2021, the New York Times reported that Biden has a “short fuse and an obsession with details,” when it comes to policy issues, and can take “days or weeks to make up his mind as he examines and second-guesses himself and others.”
Before making up his mind, the president demands hours of detail-laden debate from scores of policy experts, taking everyone around him on what some in the West Wing refer to as his Socratic “journey” before arriving at a conclusion.

Those trips are often difficult for his advisers, who are peppered with sometimes obscure questions. Avoiding Mr. Biden’s ire during one of his decision-making seminars means not only going beyond the vague talking points that he will reject, but also steering clear of responses laced with acronyms or too much policy minutiae, which will prompt an outburst of frustration, often laced with profanity.
He often hangs up on people, she notes. ”Let’s talk plain English here,” the normally fawning writer is forced to admit, “he will often snap.”
Although the reporter here valiantly tries to go along with the narrative that Joey is your nice old grandpa who loves ice cream, she inadvertently reveals what we all know: that he’s an irritable, cruel boss who often treats the press and his subordinates like garbage.

Wasn't some NYTs redhead talking Just The Other Day, about how Joe was SO NICE???; 7/9/23, 9:47 PM

Any info on the number of dead from Covid after attending the infamous Sturgis bike ralley?

USA Today Sept 17, 2020 Fact check: Post online misstates Sturgis Rally's coronavirus cases
A recent study found the rally could have resulted in 260,000 cases..
South Dakota confirmed 124 COVID-19 cases tied to the Sturgis Rally as of Sept. 8, and other states have reported at least 290 people in 12 states testing positive after attending the rally. About 460,000 people attended the rally. The infection rate based on the above numbers is 0.09%..
One person has died so far from COVID-19 who attended the rally, a Minnesota man in his 60s with underlying health conditions,
Mind you, this USA Today article is SCREAMING that SO MANY people got sick (290 sick; and ONE died), like it's higher than what was predicted (260,000). I'm not Really certain that newspeople understand numbers let alone math; 7/9/23, 9:57 PM

But have we forgotten already that from mistaking non-white congressional aides for waiters to phoning around to find out if he’d shaken hands with a gay person, it turns out that FPOTUS Trump is literally a bottomless pit of hate?; 7/10/23, 12:15 AM

Humperdink said...: A few days ago I posted that an inmate accused of murder escaped from our county jail using bedsheets. Since that time, a swat team raided a house 3 blocks from the jail, to no avail. Yesterday I played pickleball at a playground in that same area. On my way home I was stopped by police and redirected as police have cordoned that area again, helicopters overhead. Call me stupid, but with the Allegheny National Forest (500,000 acres) nearby, my guess he's in the woods.

The BBC, NyTimes, and NYPost have picked up the story.; 7/10/23, 6:28 AM
Jersey Fled said...: As I recall, the methodology around that Sturgis rally study was pretty weak. They assumed that if you were near Sturgis in a certain time frame and tested positive for Covid shortly thereafter, you were infected at Sturgis. In other words, they ignored the possibility that you caught the disease at any of the dozens of other places you might have been during that same time frame. Or compared the data to background infections in any other location not related to Sturgis. So the Sturgis numbers were likely overstated. If that's even possible.

But it made for good press.; 7/10/23, 6:28 AM

West TX Intermediate Crude said...: It seems that the authors of the brief that Justice Jackson relied on for her innumerate claim that black babies are twice as likely to survive if they have black doctors, have issued a "clarification."
The real clarification: sicker babies are tragically more likely to die.
Sicker babies get treated by physicians with a higher level of specialization and training (pediatrician vs. neonatologist).
In medicine, the more specialized the physician, the more likely it is that he or she is white (or Asian).
So, sicker babies, more likely to die, more likely to have white/Asian doctors.
It is tragic when any baby dies. I can't imagine how terrible the parents of a deceased black baby feel when they learn that a SC Justice said that their child would have lived had their physician been black.
Shame on her.; 7/10/23, 7:58 AM
tim in vermont said...: How is Joe Biden's "moderate" governance working out, gadfly? Just what an LLR would hope for?

Nobody wants to join the military anymore, because veterans don't want their sons serving under a commander in chief who has no clue what he is doing, and who doesn't care about his own soldiers, and yet has privately expressed the desire to be a "war president," even if it means starting the war himself.

Trump's dedication to peace was just too much for life long Republicans to stomach, I get it.; 7/10/23, 8:07 AM
