Samantha was also in the camp that Franken should have been gone a while ago. Her statement was that it only took 6 accusations to get him removed, as if that were some kind of record.
Someone I had read talked about all of this asking for due process, which is once again shifting the victimhood back toward men. The women were due their due process, according to the argument. The problem I see in this argument is that you could use that for anything. Imagine applying it to robbery.

If the free market solved these kinds of problems, we would never have had segregation because what business would pass up on millions of customers? It’s great at solving what color your shoes should be, not whether you should be allowed to have shoes.

I just re-upped. I kind of have to because radio in this area consists of an all-talk sports network and all-talk right-wing bullshit. I can make any drive bearable switching between CNN, MSNBC, and the 70’s music channel.
I have a choice of religious hate radio, right-wing stations, agricultural stations, one rock station that plays FOX radio news, and one NPR station ninety miles away I can only get in my car.

But right now it feels like the plan is to whisk Franken off the stage and exile him to a place where he’s never heard from again.

No one will ever have to talk about this again.

Talked to my Mom the last couple nights about a couple things. I wanted to know if she had honestly ever experienced sexual harassment. She hadn’t in the workplace but there was something that I had no idea about. And I also asked her what she thinks as a daughter of the WWII generation- her dad and my granddad whom I’m named after was a Korean War vet. I asked “You think it’s that we’re losing more direct links to actual memories of Nazism or the fact the internet brings these people together.” She thinks it’s a little bit of both as do I.

Brock Turner, the former Stanford swimmer who was convicted of three counts of felony sexual assault and served just 92 days in jail, is appealing his conviction. He claims, in a 172-page brief filed by his attorney, that he did not get a fair trial, The New York Times reported.
Turner’s lawyer, Eric Multhaup, cites the exclusion of character witnesses on behalf of Turner, as well as the level of intoxication of the victim, Emily Doe, on the night of the attack, as reason for the appeal. Multhaup also took issue with the prosecution repeatedly describing the assault as taking place “behind the dumpster.”
“The appeal said the use of the phrase ‘implied an intent on the appellant’s part to shield’ his activities from others and ‘implied moral depravity, callousness, and culpability on the appellant’s part because of the inherent connotations of filth, garbage, detritus and criminal activity frequently generally associated with Dumpsters,’” the Times wrote.
Turner, convicted of sexual assault of an unconscious person, of an intoxicated person and of sexual assault with intent to commit rape, faced up to 14 years in prison for his crimes, yet was sentenced to just six months. He served half of the sentence in a county jail. Turner was also sentenced to three years probation and obliged to register as a sex offender in his home state of Ohio.
Fuck this character witness shit and level of intoxication shit ten thousand times with a rusty axe.

The last time I was down in Dallas visiting a friend there was an ice storm that was ravaging the plains from Texas all the way up to Iowa. The day I flew back home I was watching the line between rain and ice move across Dallas/Fort Worth and I made my friend take me to the airport early. Bridges were starting to ice up badly on the drive and I was completely white knuckled as a passenger. My friend (originally from Louisianna) drove it like a champ. I can do snow just fine but I’m scared shitless when I have to drive on ice.
My flight got out of Dallas OK but a few hours late. Everything was coated with white (not snow) almost all the way back to MN.

Black ice is the worst. By the time you realize you are on it, all you can do is take your foot off the gas and pray. Don’t downshift, don’t brake, don’t steer. Packed snow is a piece of cake in comparison.

re: #115 stpaulbear
The last time I was down in Dallas visiting a friend there was an ice storm that was ravaging the plains from Texas all the way up to Iowa. The day I flew back home I was watching the line between rain and ice move across Dallas/Fort Worth and I made my friend take me to the airport early. Bridges were starting to ice up badly on the drive and I was completely white knuckled as a passenger. My friend (originally from Louisianna) drove it like a champ. I can do snow just fine but I’m scared shitless when I have to drive on ice.
My flight got out of Dallas OK but a few hours late. Everything was coated with white (not snow) almost all the way back to MN.
And that’s a big thing about DFW. Because it’s hot most of the time, we have lots of bridges and overpasses, some of them massive (I’m talking about you, High Five). They are not built for ice.

Per Rolling Stone rollingstone.com
Former Stanford swimmer Brock Turner, who was convicted of three sexual assault charges but spent only three months in jail, is seeking to appeal the verdict. Turner’s lawyers claim that the initial trial was “fundamentally unfair” and are asking for a new trial for the January 2015 assault.
This says they are asking for a new trial, although I still find that difficult to believe.

Needless to say, I stuck out like a sore thumb, with a few folks going as far as to tell me “You ain’t from around here, are ya, boy.”

Maybe it’s just because I’m old, but I don’t understand bitcoin at all. I read they are “mined” by solving math equations; WTF does that even mean? Who creates these equations, why is solving them valuable, and where does the money come from?
Wikipedia explains the “mining” process here:
en.wikipedia.org
It is not exactly solving math equations, but keeping the blockchain of transactions up-to-date.
Solving them is valuable to those who deal in Bitcoin because it is only the blockchain ledgers that keep track of who owns what.
Where the money comes from? There is no money. Money is expended running your computer to run the calculations necessary to keep up the blockchain ledgers. Any alleged value of Bitcoins is because the number of total Bitcoins that can be “mined” is restricted. Bitcoins only have “value” because people say they do. (Bitcoins are essentially a measure of work expended to keep up the blockchain ledgers, coupled with speculation in the alleged value of Bitcoins. Contrast to gold, which while also limited, has a physical presence, can be used for industry, art, &c … Bitcoins are literally vaporware.)
There was a school shooting in Aztec, NM today, shooter killed two students, wounded 17 others, shooter died at the scene.
Barely a fuckin’ blip on the news and social media. Barely a fuckin’ blip. The new normal.
The electricity used to mine bitcoin this year is bigger than the annual usage of 159 countries (Nov. 26, 2017, Business Insider)
Bitcoin mining isn’t exactly good on the environment either. At least running something like BOINC (which uses distributed computing to solve problems for things such as folding proteins or discovering drugs) serves a purpose which potentially benefits everyone.

The legislation specifically repeals the deduction for personal casualty losses. The Internal Revenue Service describes casualty losses as including those from “natural disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes. It can also include losses from fires, accidents, thefts or vandalism.”
In the case of a major disaster, Congress still would be able to pass special legislation offering tax breaks for victims, as it has done in the past.*
