U.S. Census Bureau documents from early stages of number-crunching show 10% to 20% of 2020 census questions went unanswered. The bureau said later phases of processing reveal lower rates, but it’s still trying to learn what happened. (edits to clarify) https://t.co/cByDxFRSlf
— The Associated Press (@AP) August 8, 2021
Census Bureau statisticians and outside experts are trying to unravel a mystery: Why were so many questions about households in the 2020 census left unanswered?
Residents did not respond to a multitude of questions about sex, race, Hispanic background, family relationships and age, even when providing a count of the number of people living in the home, according to documents released by the agency. Statisticians had to fill in the gaps.
Reflecting an early stage in the number crunching, the documents show that 10% to 20% of questions were not answered in the 2020 census, depending on the question and state. According to the Census Bureau, later phases of processing show the actual rates were lower.
maybe because the GOP deliberately sabotaged the entire census process?

I went to the local state-based appliance and mattress store - not only did their central warehouse show stock, but they have their own local installers to boot (rather than contracting out to CRST, which is out anywhere from 4-6 weeks, never mind the fact that the big-box store next delivery is in two weeks!)
In short - if you need an appliance replaced, go local.
re: #51 Eric The Fruit Bat
We just went to see about a new dishwasher. First, an electrician must make sure it’s a dedicated circuit. New requirement. That could mean a whole new panel! Repairing the old one just became the efficient solution.

I had a boss at a former teaching gig who decided I hadn’t provided the last set of final exams to the department (which nobody did, and which I sure as hell didn’t, because my contract wasn’t renewed and I was out of the joint a day after grading), and so REVERSED MY FINAL PAYCHECK out of my checking account, which thank God did no long term damage because I wasn’t relying on it to stay alive. Ultimately got the run-around on it until I had a lawyer contact the FUCKING CHANCELLOR (who oversaw the entire state university network—basically the capa of capas): “Hello, this is _______, I’m Mr. Davis’s attorney. Just wanting to know where his final paycheck is. Oh, you’ll have it deposited tomorrow morning? That will be fine.” Sometimes the word “attorney” is absolute magic in getting shit done.

Fewer and fewer cities want to host the Olympics. That should tell the IOC something.
washingtonpost.com
Author Barry Svrluga shares the view of most of us here, I think. Set one place for the Olympics (or one Winter, one Summer) and put the money into making a world class situation for them to occur. Stop, as he says, “put the Games on a fork and force-feed them to the resistant toddler that was (the host city).”
Whatever the numbers, this isn’t sustainable, nor has it been for decades. The further sham, though, is this: Brisbane wasn’t up against a slew of eager bidders, because a slew of eager bidders doesn’t exist. As Andrew Zimbalist, a Smith College economist who has written books about the IOC and its bidding process, said, “I think it’s really clear what’s going on.”
“In my view, what’s happened over the last 20 years or more, is they have a dwindling number of cities that enter — and then stay in — the bidding process,” Zimbalist said. ” … The demand-and-supply situation has changed.”
Which is further indication that the entire Olympics should change. No more of this fleecing of countries and cities to stage a three-week party — and then vanishing.
Zimbalist also said, “… stop pretending the Games are athletic events. They’re construction events.”

Trying to figure out how to say this properly, but we have finally reached a point with the Delta variant where liberals can no longer save Republicans from themselves. For the last 30+ years, Republicans have proposed outlandish laws and operated their states in such a way that have counted on liberal states to fund them or counter their recklessness. But covid-19 no longer allows that to happen. Their choices are getting them killed.

Some details about the plane crash last night in the town near me: 3 people dead, all occupants of the plane. Two people were in the home it crashed into, not injured. Initial evidence indicates the plane started falling apart in flight; the pilot had received clearance to land at the airport they were flying to when the plane suddenly started losing altitude and changing direction, and parts were found blocks away from the crash, indicating they fell off in flight.

Initial evidence indicates the plane started falling apart in flight; the pilot had received clearance to land at the airport they were flying to when the plane suddenly started losing altitude and changing direction, and parts were found blocks away from the crash, indicating they fell off in flight.
Is it this one?

My understanding of the re-design goal, besides tfg’s desire to just destroy things and trash boundaries was to ‘improve’ tv angles.
Headed over the hill for lunch today at a friend’s house. In the 5 miles of coast road between us and Hwy 92 I saw four sheriff vehicles, two highway patrol, two motorcycle highway patrol, another sheriff writing a ticket and one more parked near an intersection waiting.
My wife wondered what was up with all the cops…then as we started heading away from the coast there was a string of about 100 muscle cars - Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes, Pontiacs…all filled with young drivers…then it made sense…Revenue day.

Actor is being used as a gender-free version.
As a theater student in the late eighties/early nineties, we were told not to use actress to refer to a female actor.
Of course, the professor was being snobbish about theatre, because he added, “Leave that actor/actress crap to Hollywood.”

So what did the professor like to call them? Performers?
Not that anyone should care, but someone is using his butthurt over his recently discovered two year old banning here to suck up to Kurt Schlichter and Nick Searcy.

GQP Covid policy may go down as the greatest example of evil incompetence in history. It seems for all the world that they set out to use covid as an opportunistic weapon to eliminate whole groups they considered undesirable or unproductive, the elderly, the poor and minorities, the disabled, and instead ended up wiping out a large portion of their own depraved base. It is as though the Third Reich had somehow contrived to shovel masses of Aryans into the gas chambers and crematoria by mistake.

re: #137 First As Tragedy, Then As Farce
You know, it would be a nice change of pace if the stupid media would talk to people who are vaccinated and why we did that. Just maybe once out of maybe 10 times? I’m so tired of these sad tales of stupid, selfish asshats seeing the light after someone is dead or permanently damaged from this virus. Oh, and maybe they could talk to long haul covid survivors so some idiots could see it’s not just death they have to fear. (Screams into the eternal void…..again)

If the Olympics continue, not only should there be a dedicated location, but they should be renamed the Early Fall and mid-to-late-Winter-perhaps-early Spring Olympics.

I think, since we have worldwide communication, that different parts of the world get different events. The opening and closing ceremonies can be coordinated broadcasts.
The new “don’t read the comments” is “don’t look at trending topics.”

The DOJ decision to charge Obstruction rather than Seditious Conspiracy for the January 6th attack was something of a gamble:
This was always the odd gamble in the decision to use the obstruction statute—18 USC 1512(c)(2)—in a fairly novel way, rather than charging insurrection or seditious conspiracy—2383, 2384—which might have required DOJ to be more definitive about the purposes of the whole affair. https://t.co/Yj93O7JLOg

Great. Now do vaccinations.
I really hope shit gets real and fast once the vaccines get FDA approval.
Particularly with health insurance companies. You know they can’t be happy about all this money they are paying for multi-day ICU visits for unvaccinated morons.
Hell, my insurer charges me more if I SMOKE.
Even a social network for doctors is struggling with vaccine misinformation | Yahoo! Finance
Even an online medical community can’t completely avoid COVID-19 vaccine misinformation. Gizmodo reports that CNBC has found a deluge of bogus anti-vaccine claims on Doximity, an industry networking tool for doctors. While shared stories are from well-established news outlets and scientific publications, the comments are apparently rife with misinformation on vaccine safety, mask effectiveness and natural immunity, among other issues.
