I’m absolutely smacked of gob learning that Japan has vaccinated *checks notes* 3% of its population. That’s absolutely insane.

Costs for the games are probably approaching $30 billion (or twice what they estimated the games would cost), and the country couldn’t afford even that lower number.

I looked at the replies to somebody’s tweet about the magnetic idiocy, and good lord there are a lot of people buying into this happy horseshit.

My western expedition to attend my brother’s wedding ended last night with my return to a rainy Philadelphia.

The train trip to Albuquerque was interesting, but am not sure I’d repeat it for that destination. Sagebrush or juniper/pinon desert gets a but boring after a while. But there were considerable wildlife sightings from the observation car as well; turkey, bison, deer, antelope, elk, fox, and plenty of hawks and smaller birds. (I’d consider a train trip through the Rockies further north for the scenery though.) Flight back was the usual hell of sitting in airports and then 6-8 hours total between two flights of being crammed into a coach seat on a fully booked airliner. (Faster, a touch cheaper, but pretty much enduring things rather than trying to enjoy the train.)

And I really sort of just touched the tips of things in New Mexico. Plenty to still visit or even revisit if I get back down that way. White Sands was pretty awesome and is essentially unique. Santa Fe, Taos, and the Rio Grande Gorge were all interesting to walk about it. And only was in a few museums or parks between Santa Fe and Albuquerque itself. And the hikes in the surrounding mountains with the science team* were fun, but tiring.

Was staying in places via AirBnB the entire trip. I’d rate it well above staying in motels since often I am simply looking for a bedroom and bathroom for overnight stays. I stayed in six different places and had varying experiences. Most were rental places where I never met or saw the people I was renting from and I’d essentially have the run of a house or townhouse. In others I was in a couple’s home and essentially up in the morning drinking coffee with them like a house guest. And the rates were comparable or cheaper than what I was seeing as hotel rates - with fairly good feedback mechanisms for anything I was unhappy with.

Food and beer was pretty good. The green chile obsession is something to get used to. (Though I also got two jars of salsa and some pistachios home with me as well.)

The wedding went off without a hitch.

And Floof Cat is very happy to have the regular staff back on the job.

* - The “science team” is my joke name for doing hikes with some combination of my brother, sister-in-law, and niece. Two geologists and a biologist who specializes in insects is a pretty useful information source on hikes.

Perhaps, smaller, separate competitions in individual sports classes (i.e. track and field, swimming, martial arts/contact sports, etc.) every few years in separate cities that existing infrastructure can handle is the way to go instead of packing the whole world into one city for two extremely long weeks.

I agree one million percent. People are letting their guard down way too much. Hell, most people on my social media (and they aren’t just conservatives) are acting like the pandemic is over.

You’re vaccinated? Great, I’m happy for you. I’m vaccinated too. Am I stepping out a little more? Yes, but I’m also still being smart about things. KEEPING PEOPLE SAFE IS IMPORTANT WHETHER YOU ARE VACCINATED OR NOT.

That’s about the same percentage as India (also around 3% fully vaccinated).
Japan’s Olympic Committee is providing free condoms (which has been done at most recent Olympics), but isn’t providing masks to everyone. They’re not mandating vaccinations for everyone, they’re not giving individual rooms for athletes, and the doctor’s assigned to the various locations are quitting because they’re needed at Japanese hospitals.

I wonder if the IOC’s notorious arrogance has rubbed off on the Japanese Olympic Committee in their determination to hold the Olympics at any cost.

Only a handful of games have ever broken even, and Los Angeles is one - mostly because they repurposed/reused prior facilities wherever possible.

London and Paris managed to minimize the infrastructure damage from the Games and repurposed or recycled those temporary facilities. Heck, China’s let a bunch of their Beijing facilities go fallow. Athens is epitome of wasted facilities (and we have this discussion every few years - that Athens should be the official home of Olympic Summer games as a boost to their economy instead of having to have competitions and build facilities that are for most part single-use/single purpose for a few weeks at most). End this nonsense about having to scam/hold competitions to see who hosts games, bribes of officials, and then countries that can’t afford to host games spend billions better used on other purposes.

Kleinhendler was trying to argue that Baseball was intimidating the GA leg. Judge Caproni is pointing out that it’s hard to intimidate them to keep them from doing a thing they had already finished doing. And apparently still is trying to argue this.

It’s rather fitting that today is also Bobby V day -the anniversary of the day Bobby V got ejected from a Mets game, only to return to the dugout wearing sunglasses and a mustache. Because this is a clownshow of epic proportions.

The judge should rightfully kill this lawsuit and refer for sanctions. The only question is whether they’ll issue the judgment today or wait to issue an opinion (I’m laying odds on waiting a few days to issue the opinion for the record and to make it appeal-proof)..

I’m concerned that all this talk about how well America is doing with vaccinations is giving people a completely false sense of safety. The pandemic is still raging across the world, new variations are being discovered daily, and we live in a connected world where disease can spread across the globe in a matter of days. Now is not the time to think everybody’s safe.

re: #49 William Lewis

That’s pretty much why I plan to take Amtrak round trip to Memphis from St Paul in October. Even switching trains in Chicago is nothing compared to the hell that is commercial aviation.

I switched trains twice on the trip. (Useful that Albuquerque was a stop on the daily(?) Chicago-Los Angeles run.) First change was in Pittsburgh and the lay-over was long enough to meet a few friends there for a drink. Second layover was 3-4 hours in Chicago which was long enough to take a walk and get a sit-down lunch before the 24-hour or so run from there to Albuquerque. That layover was no worse than the one I had in DFW yesterday and I like having some cushion simply due to the delays that occur. (Train into Pittsburgh and into Chicago were both about an hour behind schedule.)

re: #73 Punish Domestic Terrorists

I looked at Amtrak for a trip from Chicago to Sacramento a couple of years ago. It cost as much as flying, but would have taken much longer. Fortunately, my friend who lived in Sacramento lives a few towns over now, so I don’t have a reason to fly or take a train.

Essentially true. The train took longer (2 days verses ~10 hours) and cost about $40 more than the airline ticket. (Both were one-way.)

I was willing to spend the time* to test it out. Pro was that there no security lines**, requirement to be at the airport 2 hours before my flight, more legroom and space in general, plus a true ability to get up and move around a bit. (Plus at some of the stops they announced they would be there at least 15 minutes and you could leave the train and stretch your legs if you wanted.)

* - And a factor was that I live close to an Amtrak stop and thus wasn’t paying parking anywhere. Had to spend to get a taxi home last night from the airport.

** - Amtrak’s approach appears to be that they reserve the right to inspections of luggage and passengers. So I expect they might have teams about who appear to do this.

A North Carolina state medical examiner’s report determined the death of Andrew Brown Jr. was a homicide after he was killed by a gunshot to the back of the head by police.

Mr. Brown’s death, while tragic, was justified, because Mr. Brown’s actions caused three deputies with the Pasquotank County Sheriff’s Office to reasonably believe it was necessary to use deadly force to protect themselves and others,” Womble said at a press conference in May.

this is a weaselly and chickenshit standard that ignores some of the basic circumstances of the job

off the top of my head: how about use deadly force

and
2- there is no other option
