The last big jackpot, which was won in California, was not shown on the Cal website until a while after the draw. They had no winner for a while, then a the winner came up on the page.

re: #16 MsJ
What would that person get in $$?
In California the large-ish prizes are based on a shared system that depends upon how many tickets were sold. On Tuesday the sole 5-number MM winner won a bit under $2M. (The PowerBall 5 number prize was a bit over $2M but no one won it on Wed.) I presume with more tickets sold in the latest round will make for a larger 5-number pot this time.
The 4+1 winner(s) get considerably less.
On Tues the 4+1 winners: 4 + MEGA 19 $8,955
But the prior drawing with a smaller pot had fewer winners, so they got more money each:
4 + MEGA 6 $16,125
Generally speaking, Lottery payouts are much, much worse than casino payouts, for any given odds.
The only reason to play the major state Lotteries is to win the big prize.

Yep the nominal advertised value and the pre-tax cash option aren’t anywhere near similar, because the advertised value is the total pre-tax payout after 25 years of installments. If you take the lump sum option after taxes it usually ends up being around 1/3 or so of the amount printed on the tin, or take the estimated cash value and multiply by 0.63 for a very close estimate of the net take home, assuming you don’t also have a separate state tax on winnings.
re: #42 goddamnedfrank
30 years of payout for the annuity, I think.
When I wrote about the bad payouts I was thinking of the smaller prizes. The payouts are ridiculously low for the odds. You’re better off going to a casino and playing the craps table, or a slot machine.
If I was Putin right now I’d be looking hard at what intelligence I could leak to further destabilize and delegitimize the House of Saud.

How secure is the annuity? Is there a possibility that the organization guaranteeing the payment will go bankrupt, leaving the winner with (e.g.) only 15 years instead of the promised 30 years?

Probably, I mean it’s not going to be FDIC secure so there’s hypothetically a chance. But it’s going to be pretty low because the way usually structured is the estimated cash value is put into something like a bond or money market account at a major institution. So any event that takes it down is going to take the entire economy down.
re: #45 Hecuba’s daughter
The corporations have been in business for several years now, since 1996 for MegaMillions (according to Wikipedia), so it’s already 22 years old.
But your concern about the stability of these ventures in the long run is a good one, I think.
If one thinks they want an annuity in their life (and financial planners often frown on these things), you’re better off taking the MegaMillions cash prize, pay the 25% to the IRS, and go buy a commercial annuity, the best of which gets one an equivalent 6%-8% return (depending if you want a cash-out upon death type or not, the latter paying the higher rate per year.)
So far no state lottery has declared a winner. The MM company site still says “Pending” though, so there may be a state that hasn’t reported in.
For some reason, I realized I feel somewhat better about losing if nobody won the jackpot.
re: #45 Hecuba’s daughter

Very low odds on that.
Better odds on you not having 30 years of life expectancy. Especially if you have siblings or offspring who have decades for greed to fester and they’d like the payout to go to them instead. (or if any of those siblings or offspring have a drug dealer to satisfy, or a new spouse who never liked you anyway, or whatevs.)

So the narrative is that this group of 15 men flew to Turkey to kidnap Jamal without MbS having any knowledge, confronted him at the consulate where they intended to interrogate him before hauling him away, the whole thing instead turned into a fist fight where one of the men got overzealous and killed him with a chokehold, then they panicked and handed off the body to a collaborator to dispose of while cleaning up the scene of the crime.

Then we’re supposed to believe that MBS just never inquired about exactly what the fuck happened with his interrogation & kidnapping order and once the news broke lied to the world about not being involved because really he was responsibly working behind the scenes Scooby Doo style to investigate and bring the real killers to justice and didn’t want to tip them off or something. Oh yeah, also that whole botnet disinformation and trash talking the victim campaign was totally run by someone else, like I don’t know, maybe Soros.
Anyway the point is that MBS is a good egg and real stand up guy who ordered a totally normal kidnapping, then promptly forgot about it before the Turks reminded him and then found the killers and exonerated himself after coordinating his response with Jared Kushner and vehemently denying any knowledge or involvement for weeks … y’know, as one does.

I’m 99.9% sure it’s not a real silencer / suppressor. Real suppressors almost always have end caps that you can usually see on one side, allowing you to take the internals out and clean the baffles. That’s just a solid chunk of aluminum that someone bored out, fluted for decoration and threaded on one end. You’d never flute a real silencer all the way to both ends like that because then you’d have to time the threads perfectly which is a pain in the ass for machinists. You could just go with rebated caps on the ends but this doesn’t pass the smell test, in part because no NFA makers marks are visible and the whole thing just looks mall ninja as fuck.

Agent Carter died because the scriptwriters lost the plot after the first episode of season 2. Maybe they already knew the show was doomed, but the episodes just got progressively sillier.

I’d argue what killed Agent Carter was executive meddling. The series got little real advertisement, the second season premiere was rescheduled and the first season only put on the Marvel website days before the second season started airing. It really seems like studio execs decided early on that the series was not drawing the numbers that they were seeing with AoS and drew the conclusion that there was just no fan interest in a series centered around Peggy Carter.
Looking at this years MegaMillions estimated values, comparing the annuitized estimate versus the current cash value estimate, and one can clearly see inflation.
The current cash value ratio has been going down all year, which means that the lottery, which puts out bids for the annuity to major financial institutions, has to offer more money to buy any given size of annuity.
The current CV ratio is only .56, but earlier this year it was .59 .
Inflation - it’s coming at us fast.
A year ago the ratio was .619 .
What Trump and the GOP have done, but massively increasing the deficits and by giving their friends billions of dollars in tax breaks (which are used to puff up equities via buy backs), is set us up for a financial disaster.
Once inflation starts kicking up, the only way to control it is with economic collapse of some sort.

They would be wrong. Maybe AC was just a little too early to catch the “tough as nails heroine” trend we’ve seen since the show was canceled.

And Pat Robertson said that the U.S. should probably not make a big deal over one dead person, given that there is $100 billion on the line here. His exact words:
We’ve got an arms deal that everybody wanted a piece of…it’ll be a lot of jobs, a lot of money come to our coffers. It’s not something you want to blow up willy-nilly.
now forgetting the actual religiosity of it - you know ignoring a murder because there’s a lot of money to be made by building killing machines, my question to Mr. Roberston is this:
- is this deal so important that you’d voluntarily give up your own life?
if not, why not?
or is this calculus only valid because they targeted someone you dont care about?
because he wasnt killed because of any arms deal
AND he didn’t volunteer

re: #58 goddamnedfrank
I’m 99.9% sure it’s not a real silencer / suppressor. Real suppressors almost always have end caps that you can usually see on one side, allowing you to take the internals out and clean the baffles. That’s just a solid chunk of aluminum that someone bored out, fluted for decoration and threaded on one end. You’d never flute a real silencer all the way to both ends like that because then you’d have to time the threads perfectly which is a pain in the ass for machinists. You could just go with rebated caps on the ends but this doesn’t pass the smell test, in part because no NFA makers marks are visible and the whole thing just looks mall ninja as fuck.
To my eyes, it looks like the ‘silencer’ doesn’t even align with the gun barrel. It kind of sags to the left a bit.

Opinion | What do Republicans need to win? Selective memory loss.
With the Affordable Care Act hitting record support in a recent Fox News poll , and preexisting-conditions protections remaining overwhelmingly popular, congressional Republicans have recently sought inoculation by introducing various proposals they say would protect people with preexisting conditions. And they are vigorously scrubbing their records, according to archived versions of their websites reviewed by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Rep. Tom MacArthur’s (R-N.J.) site last year vowed: “Tom will work to repeal Obamacare, but won’t stop there.” Now? “Tom opposed his own party’s efforts at a speedy Obamacare repeal.”
Rep. Ted Budd (R-N.C.), in 2016, had a pledge: “I will do everything I can to repeal every word of Obamacare.” That passage is now repealed from his website.
Rep. Leonard Lance’s (R-N.J.) website, in 2016, boasted that “Lance is on the front-lines in the fight to repeal and replace Obamacare.” Now, that same passage has been rewritten: “Lance is leading the fight for real Health Care Reform.”
Their problem: Of the 73 incumbent House Republicans in competitive races, 67 voted at least once to eliminate Obamacare’s protections for those with preexisting conditions, according to an analysis by the liberal Center for American Progress Action Fund…
…Similar cases have been reported in California, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Montana and North Dakota. This raises a frightening epidemiological possibility: Selective memory loss is spreading, and it has become a necessary pre-condition to run as a Republican this year.

Everybody has heart attacks and childbirth.
But trauma centers only make sense in a few densely populated places. Utah has a ridiculously high percentage of non-smoking, non-drinking, outdoorsy-exercising types and their costs would be lower. Minnesota bases their public health system around the Mayo Clinic, but nobody else has a Mayo. Minnesota’s per-capita medicare claims are half of Texas’, because Texas is fee-for-service and doctors own the labs and imaging centers. West Virginia and Kentucky could do better with RV-sized clinics that move from small town to the next instead of regional medical centers that are difficult for people to get to. Alaska spends a lot more on transportation than other States.
Just like we don’t have a unified standardized national Fire Department — New York City’s fire department does a great job, San Bernardino County’s fire department does a great job, but they’d each be utter crap at each other’s jobs. Because their training, planning and equipment is designed for specific local needs.

The difference between a trauma center and a regular emergency room only matters if the EMTs with their truck full of gear can get to the patient within 10 minutes of the incident, and be at the hospital within 30 minutes of the incident. Is there any rural area where that can happen?
Suspect arrested after police find ‘detailed plan of attack’ for Kentucky schools (Lexington Herald-Leader)
A Lawrenceburg man was arrested after police found evidence that a “threat was credible and imminent” to Shelby and Anderson County schools, according to Kentucky State Police.
State police and the FBI responded Thursday to the Lawrenceburg residence of Dylan Jarrell, just a block away from Anderson County High School, when a New Jersey woman complained he had sent unsolicited, harassing messages to her on Facebook.
Jarrell, 20, admitted to sending the “racially motivated messages,” according to his arrest citation, and the FBI agent then asked about a past school shooting threat last May in Tennessee in which Jarrell had been a suspect. The suspect admitted to making the previous school threats, court records show.
After Jarrell gave consent for his phone to be examined, information was found on it that “pertained to threats of bodily harm against multiple persons at a school,” state police said in the arrest citation. It did not state which school was threatened.

Here, nearly every county has at least one hospital, though they aren’t all equipped like a general hospital. They do have the facilities to stabilise a patient before they are sent along to a more advanced hospital (that is what happened in the man’s case here - the village EMT took him to the local hospital sixteen miles away, they flew him to Scottsbluff).
Part of the purpose of the ACA is to help keep rural hospitals from closing for just this reason. “Well, you rural people are on your own because we only will put trauma centres in major cities” isn’t very sympathetic. It is very profit-driven though.
If I got into a car accident in Chicago, there are probably several hospitals not far from the accident. (That said, Chicago traffic is so bad it might take me longer to get to a hospital than here.) If I get into a car accident here, there is only one hospital in my county.

A trauma center is a highly specialized “extra” that’s way more than an emergency room. It’s a few pieces of extra equipment, and a LOT of extra personnel with extra training. Los Angeles has hundreds of hospitals, hundreds of emergency rooms, but only 5 are trauma centers. They’re for the kinds of cases that need 4 surgeons and a dozen nurses working on the same patient at the same time.
A hospital that serves a city of 14,000 doesn’t have that kind of staffing. The case you mentioned is a “regular” emergency room case.

re: #149 Aucun pays pour les vieux ennemis
One of the things I keep observing is that we’re dealing with people that accept rituals and symbols that signify “Truth” as equivalent, even superior, to systematic and methodical ways of establishing “Truth” through observation and evidence.
The dangerous part is how often the former counterfeits the latter and there’s no pushback. Charlatans—fake scientists, fake pundits, snake oil sellers—infest the current “conservatism” because its ethos…affiliation and common identity is the highest form of validity…overlaps with the single most common and effective means of conning another person.
What we’re watching now is the international relations version of this, not far removed from the “reasoning” applied to police shootings. The perfunctory, hollow performance of transparency and accountability is the other side of the coin from establishing, through cultural channels, that the targeted individuals was guilty enough to deserve harm.

re: #168 sagehen
A trauma center is a highly specialized “extra” that’s way more than an emergency room. It’s a few pieces of extra equipment, and a LOT of extra personnel with extra training. Los Angeles has hundreds of hospitals, hundreds of emergency rooms, but only 5 are trauma centers. They’re for the kinds of cases that need 4 surgeons and a dozen nurses working on the same patient at the same time.
A hospital that serves a city of 14,000 doesn’t have that kind of staffing. The case you mentioned is a “regular” emergency room case.
Well, I might have them confused. The principal hospital in our area, the one in Scottsbluff, doesn’t just serve a city of 14,000. It serves the entire Panhandle and part of eastern Wyoming, which is over 90,000 people.

Why would all those agricultural workers in rural areas need trauma centers anyway. Agriculture is one of the highest causes of accidental trauma.

Surprise:
High School Gun Humpers’ Walkout Was Astroturf Operation, Big Surprise (Wonkette, more at the link):
Remember how the awesome teens from Parkland, Florida, were being derided as mindless dupes of the Liberal gun grabbers, or maybe even crisis actors deployed by the Deep State? Kids like Emma Gonzalez and David Hogg clearly couldn’t have mobilized a giant school walkout or a national protest on their own, so obviously, sinister forces had paid them. Of course, there was no proof of anything like that (although, yes, national groups did join in after the kids got the ball rolling). Then in May, a few wingnut teens held their very own “Stand Up for the Second” (Amendment) demonstrations, and rightwing media cooed about all the brave kids who dared to defy the commie brats (who were, again, all tools of Big Liberalism anyway). Big surprise: the “Stand Up for the Second” thing was pretty much all scripted by the “Tea Party Patriots” group, as documented by a cache of badly-secured online documents uncovered by an internet security firm this week.
The trove of documents was found in an “Amazon S3 storage bucket” by security company UpGuard, which let the Tea Party crowd know it had left a couple gigabytes of data — including its phone contact list — out on the interwebs without any security or password. That was very nice of the cybersecurity folks, who detailed the find on their blog. The kids at Gizmodo also bring us a bunch of fun details from the astroturfed pro-gun marches, which were covered by a surprising number of media outlets as it they were all the brainchild of one motivated gun-loving teen with a great idea.

I remain convinced that the ever-expanding definition of “white” will keep whites in the majority.
Spain is a European country; and a significant percentage of Hispanics are every bit as white as the descendants of Italian immigrants, or Irish, or Polish or Dutch or German or Russian or Swedish or Greek…
Today’s census categories include non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, and Hispanic. Twenty years from now, people currently classified “Hispanic”’ will be either black, white or mestizo. Voila! Bunches more white people.

My step-niece and nephews have a Hispanic father (white mother), and it shows for one of the boys pretty clearly, and there are hints in the girl. I think, especially because of the skin color, that it won’t be a uniform acceptance. I also heard that that was part of Bush2’s push, to bring the Hispanic community into the conservative one, but Hispanics refused t change their culture to comply with conservative white demands.

According to Reuters, the numbers of people involved were “hundreds.” Hardly an invasion (but “invasion” has been used all my life by conservatives to describe anything from immigrants to asylum seekers). The article also notes the Mexican police forces actually didn’t let them cross the bridge.
Mexico is also processing asylum claims from those trying to enter Mexico. Asylum in Mexico is hardly an invasion of the USA (or Mexico).
re: #210 sagehen
“White” isn’t constructed like other racial categories, precisely because of what you describe. White is intentionally vague and shifting, because it’s creating by sifting through history (and geography) to claim that most of the “good” stuff is the product of one group of people, such that there’s accrued collective merit but no collective guilt. People lose their shares of whiteness…take, for example, any version of the “white trash” mythos…and thus their disqualifying behavior becomes nonwhite. Lots of people get provisional whiteness—look at the standards of being assimilated, or respectable—but are kept liminal as long as they perform, but then get ejected if they question the premise of accrued collective merit.
The whole thing works like a pyramid scheme.
Same with “Western civilization”—it’s a curation such that people in the present can claim disparate elements of the past. So there’s basically a story in which all the good stuff is done a lineage of people, and if they do bad stuff it’s less important that the good stuff and anyone *other* matters less and their achievements don’t matter and their bad traits are damning.
It’s an endless No True Scotsman gambit, while the rest of racial identity—all versions of nonwhite—condemn the nonwhite individual by assigning them collective guilt, collective flaws, and disenfranchising them from claiming continuity with the “good parts” of history.
Hence the shit that happens every Columbus Day. Colon is the perfect compression of how whiteness claims to “good stuff” while aggressively refusing to acknowledge the accompanying bad…but then makes American natives collectively guilty (across two continents) such that the specific events on Hispaniola are unimportant.
