Too much? Nah, no such thing as too much Trump hate.
Hate does not enter into it, but it will take us decades to fix the damage his administration is doing.

One should be careful around bats. Many bats carry rabies.
The case of the girl who survived rabies through experimental treatment came about because she wanted to shoo a bat out of a church and was bit.
Made a trip to Montreal a few years back; spent a day touring all the old churches and cathedrals. Twice I saw people smoking crack and shooting heroine in the church yards. One guy even offered me some. Yay Canada.

My experience with bats indoors has been that they want to be there even less than I wanted them there.
I usually wait until they settle on something. (Usually they land on drapes.) I then wrap them up in a large thick towel, walk them outside, and release them.
And… its raining again here in the DC area. I guess we’re in for more flooding.

What he said. If rabies is endemic where you are, you need to get vaccinated ASAP (it’s nothing like what the treatment used to be).
ETA: even if you didn’t touch it while you were awake, check with your doctor to see what you need to do.
Elizabeth Warren Just Might Have a Shot at Re-election (Wonkette)
As for fundraising, Warren is exactly the big money draw you’d expect, and it’s not all just from national Dems who love love love her (which we do, of course). The vast majority of Warren’s donations are in amounts under $25, and in the first quarter of 2018, over 10,000 of her donors were right in Massachusetts, where gosh darn it, Democrats like her. She’s among the top fundraisers in the Senate, and well ahead of the Republicans who want to make her stop being so professor-y and liberal and not-Trump. Good luck with that, guys. Despite — or because of, really — Warren’s national profile and fundraising advantage, rightwing groups are expected to throw tons and tons of money into anti-Warren ads, because she is the Devil.
And oh, do they hate Elizabeth Warren. Money going into anti-Warren efforts this year may have less to do with defeating her in the Senate race than in trying out strategies to use against her if she runs for president in 2020. As is mandatory, Warren says she’s very happy as a senator. But the Rightwing Test Kitchen is already in action in Massachusetts: creepy Trumpster billionaire Robert Mercer is involved, funding a super PAC with the creative name “Massachusetts First.” That bunch sponsored this fun anti-Warren radio ad:
“Who is the real Elizabeth Warren?” growls a narrator, stating the opening gambit of what promises to be the GOP’s lead line of attack. “It’s hard to tell.” The ominous-sounding campaign ad, which began airing halfway through 2017, rebukes the first-term senator for making six figures at Harvard while students in the state accumulate debt. “Hypocrite professor Elizabeth Warren,” the voice-over concludes. “Huge salaries for her; rising costs and crushing debt for families and students like you.”
Just your normal everyday billionaire stirring up class resentments against someone who has literally made student debt and protection from financial vultures a focus of her career, even prior to her political career. While Massachusetts voters seem unlikely to dump Warren, the senate campaign seems a likely testing ground for whether messages like that can be scaled up for a national argument. (This Boston magazine article on Massachusetts 2018 as a proving ground for 2020 oppo and ratfucking is a darn good read!)

You’re lucky you were able to get it easily. The two times I’ve had to deal with a bat in the house, “capture” had to involve much effort with the swimming-pool net on a long pole, and a good deal of rather intemperate language. A lot of the latter directed at over-curious cats….

bat was fast asleep and clinging to a curtain, which made it a lot easier, otherwise I would have just opened windows, closed doors and let it find its way back out.

I misread the Chinese appeal. The target to be raised is $47,000 and the appeal has raised a third of that so far. Her mom has borrowed $14K, but that’s not enough.
To donate through the Chinese site requires a China bank account. No international credit card option.

Ignore my #77. I should have checked references first. Basques are still part of the dominant R1B European haplotype, but one study proposed that’s a result of admixture from Indo-European invaders.
“Cro-Magnon” is no longer a thing among human evolution and populations.
There has been much published the last few years about human migrations into Europe.
Western Eurasia has had multiple migrations from central Asia and from the Middle east.
All (pre-colonial) Europeans are pretty much the results of at least 4 major migrations and perhaps some smaller ones.
This ignores the small trickle of immigrants from Africa that came during ancient times (think Roman empire.)

I once helped a friend move from a city apartment to a farmhouse way outside city limits.
When we were finished, well after dark, we were sitting on the back porch watching the bats go after the mosquitoes that were coming after us. His cat, an all black one named Diablo, was also watching the bats. The look on his face was, “I don’t know what they are, but I want one.”

The NRA has become just another ideological arm of the Republican Party. Dana Loesch will attack modern men and women if she feels it suits her agenda. The real problem with the NRA though? They’re a bunch of racist assholes who don’t give two shits about the rights of minority gun owners. Dumbass Dana even blamed Philando Castille for his own death because he had marijuana on him. Wake up gun owners, the NRA doesn’t give a fuck about you or your rights, ti cares about a right wing agenda.

This right here is why Republicans might get away with bringing back pre-existing conditions. Eliminating them was part of Obamacare and fuck that Obama guy for every stupid thing he ever did.
They won’t use the term “pre-existing condition” though, they’ll sell it as “dismantling Obamacare”.

Kinji Fukasaku was one of the directors on the Japanese part of the film, along with Toshio Masuda.
Originally, the Japanese part of the film was supposed to be directed by Akira Kurosawa. He was replaced by the aforementioned two weeks into shooting.

re: #169 HappyWarrior
What made a lot of those neat were the actors were WWII vets. My favorite is the Great Escape. It’s actually pretty accurate though they use composite characters and the McQueen subplot is pure Hollywood but it’s a fun movie.
The extras playing French refugees in Rick’s Cafe in Casablanca were real French refugees waiting out the war in California.
They didn’t need onions or acting skills for their to cry with voices cracking while they sang La Marselleise.

I recall reading that Kim has not even let his own people know where he is or what he is up to…and I wondered why.

Yes that is how it works. I believe the new law came about because the Republicans discoverer a lot of people that hadn’t voted within the time limit were not being dropped off the roles. They did the legislation to more or less make sure they are.
What I am hoping is enough people are aware of what is going on and check to see they are registered and if not, register again.
The Republicans know much of their voting block vote no matter what every major election so they are almost always registered and won’t be dropped.

Yeah, from what I saw in the opinions, if someone doesn’t vote, they get sent an address verification card (return postage prepaid), and if they fill it out and send it in, they’re good. If they don’t return it, they’re only dropped if they don’t vote at least once in the next four years.
I’ve only briefly skimmed the opinions, but this case seems closer than what a lot of people want to say it is. The system, at least in theory, has some solid guardrails on it. But like anything else, it can be used in an inappropriate way. It’s entirely possible that while the program is constitutional, it has been used in an unconstitutional way. One of those things people really need to learn in the Trump era - just because something is generally legal or lawful doesn’t mean it is so in all circumstances.

I don’t think that would be strange at all if they went home. I think they like to be in control even if that appears to be out of control.
Trump is the one that has made this a big thing and I think Kim and NK knows it is much more important for Trump to score big as they really have nothing to lose if it all goes sideways.
I’ll disagree: Kim has (pretty much) as much at stake on the PR front as Trump does. Remember, Kim heads a vicious totalitarian regime which has made his hellhole of a country an international rogue/pariah state since forever: the spectacle of him (a NoKo leader, finally, after sixty+ years) meeting in a one-on-one with a POTUS in a well-advertised summit is a prestige occurrence which he would be quite foolish to pass up. Regardless of what the Singapore Summit actually accomplishes, if anything. It makes little difference to Fat Kim what the folks at home think - they only see and hear what he wants them to, and love it (or else!). Yes, Trump has a lot on the line too (and at least 2/3 of a skeptical media at home ready to jump on any shortcomings of this long-touted meeting), but NK is in the position of reaping the bulk of the PR benefits, so I think it’s unlikely they’d want to cancel/bolt/fuck up the meeting too badly.
What I think is more likely, though, is a major nothingburger in terms of “results”: Trump and Kim will meet (with suitable photo-ops), trade translated banalities for a couple of hours, then leave (after more photo-ops) each claiming some sort of “victory” - and each side can go back to the status quo ante if need be.
Of course, It’s Trump and Kim Jong-Un: the whole thing could very easily blow up in a shitshow: we’ll just have to wait and see.

Ohio is a great example: although overall votes are split nearly 50-50 between Democrats and GOP, only 4 of the 16 Ohio Representatives are Democrats thanks to gerrymandering.

OT, but hey, we need a break.
I’ve been reading here and there that apparently, the Vallejo County Sheriff’s Department has sent DNA samples of the Zodiac Killer off for testing about a month or so ago. No doubt, they’re hoping to strike gold, like they did with the recently apprehended Golden State Killer.
Results could be known in as little as a few weeks.
Investigators searching for the Zodiac Killer have submitted evidence to a private DNA lab in the hopes of obtaining a genetic profile of one of California’s most elusive criminals — then tracking him down using the same kind of family-tree tracing recently used in the East Area Rapist case.
Vallejo police Detective Terry Poyser, who has worked the Zodiac case for four years, said his agency has submitted two envelopes that contained letters from the Zodiac Killer for a type of advanced DNA analysis that previously had not been available in the case.
Poyser declined to identify the lab, but said it would attempt to obtain a full DNA profile from saliva on the envelope flap and stamps. He said he expected to have results back from the lab as soon as in the next few weeks, and almost certainly by summer.
“They were confident they would be able to get something off it,” Poyser said.

If you take it for what it is, a romantic drama period piece that is technically well done, it’s a good movie. It’s just not great. Unfortunately hype causes the total opposite reaction sometimes. People seem to either love or hate movies and not realize there’s wiggle room in between.

It depends what you think makes a movie anyhow. Is it acting? is it story? Is it the technical aspects i.e. camera work? Etc.

Speaking of high speed rail, last week I traveled between where I live in Zhengzhou to Xi’an 270 miles away in a matter of hours, without once needing a car or a bus. Walked about 15 minutes to the subway, spent an hour on the subway, walked from the subway right to the ticket office of the train station. About 2.5 hours on the train (top speed 193 mph), entered the Xi’an subway station at the train station, 20 minutes to the hotel — the subway station is next to the hotel. I left my flat around 11 am, reached my hotel room by 5 pm.
Total transportation cost was less than $40.

Dead Letters: Special Insane Voicemail Edition
From deadspin.com: We arrived at work this morning to find this fantastic message, left by a caller in the Bay Area around 10 p.m. local time on Friday night. As is the case with so many great pieces of hate mail, it begins with “I got an anonymous tip,” and winds towards “You think Mr. Soros is going to back you once I blow your organization through, uh let’s just say, social media hell?”
The unhinged messenger comes off just like Rage Furby.

It’s a policy that would make sense only in the minds of people who watch a lot of FOX. This demonstrates what I’ve been saying - the highest levels of government aren’t oligarchs trying to fleece rubes, they are brainwashed cultists just like the rubes. The White House and Congress are filled with people who watch FOX and are filled with bottomless, unreasoning hatred of Obama, Democrats, foreigners, and liberals. Their every action and thought is bent towards expressing this hatred. FOX is not state TV, it is the state.
Trump: ‘We’re America, bitch.’

China’s tech is quite good. But the strings attached to their rail projects would give any intelligent government reason to pause. China expects its partners to toe the line when it comes to China’s geopolitical shenanigans. For example, Malaysia and Singapore would have to cut all diplomatic ties with Taiwan and agree to Chinese sovereignty over most of the South China Sea.
Japan would be a better partner for many reasons beside its technical expertise.

How about a reverse Laffer Curve? There is the idea that when taxes reach a certain rate, they are a disincentive to work harder.
Well, what if we knew that millionaires were paying up to 90% of their income and we worked harder to help them earn more and in doing so generate more taxes to build roads, schools and infrastructure for us all?
What a concept…

TBH conservatives to me prove how little serious they erally are about the budget when they refuse to consider DoD cuts. It’s like saying “Yeah I know I need to diet but I’m still going to eat two pieces of pie after dinner guys!” I mean is there waste in social spending? Sure that happens but Republicans would rather cut those programs that actually help people participate in the economy than cut down on wasteful spending in the defense department.

Ah, the glorious dystopian future of Jennifer Government has arrived.
Something we have to look forward to here, as the sickness at the top spreads:

re: #398 Hecuba’s daughter
So — at the very most, 7 hours to discuss all issues and reach some kind of agreement? Does Trump have pictures of his inauguration and maps of his electoral college victory to show Kim? I know, that’s the time needed for Kim to bribe him with a Trump hotel in the middle of Pyongyang! And Trump to agree to pull out all troops from SK in the next 3 months in exchange for a NK promise not to test any nuclear weapons in the next 6 months.
It’s like I’ve been saying for awhile, he’s going there with every expectation that the “deal” is already worked out, he’s just there to put his scrawl on it before grimacing for the cameras.
re: #402 Kragar
It’s fun to say that, but I’m pretty sure he was trying to be a tough guy for Kim, to show Kim he wouldn’t be a pushover. Instead, he’s shown that he’ll need a win, no matter what the cost.

I trust Japan a lot more than China when it comes to high speed rail expertise.
China’s high speed train system is reliable - they stole the technology from the very best.

This morning’s credit card processor sales phone call:
The sales people know. They don’t even try when they find out I know.
Credit cards suck for the businesses that accept them. Most of them can’t afford not to, due to consumer demand.
My favorite bar is cash only. He wants nothing to do with the card companies. He is also the most inexpensive bar in town for 6-packs to go or sitting there having a shot and beer.

Reminds me of a note left on the breakroom microwave one time. It said, “Turn off when finnish.”, and someone had written under that “Turn on when danish.”. Made me laugh.
