Overnight Open Thread (7-5-2016)The frights, the cold, the smell of H.E., the horribly smashed men still moving like half-crushed beetles, the sitting or standing corpses, the landscape of sheer earth without a blade of grass, the boots worn day and night till they seemed to grow to your feet - all this shows rarely and faintly in memory. It is too cut off from the rest of my experience and often seems to have happened to someone else. Excluding people from a debate because you disagree with their views is an odd conceit, but odder still is that the practice has rapidly gained credibility on both sides of the Atlantic as morally valid. One of the most common mistakes people make is to tidy room by room. This approach doesn't work because people think they have tied up when in fact they have only shuffled their things around from one location to another or scattered items in the same category around the house, making it impossible to get an accurate grasp of the volume of things they actually own. So How Did We Get to Where We Are Now? Let this video catch you all up on the last few million years +/- a millennia or so. And yes this will be on the exam.
Okay. Except that Sarah Palin really has no standing to call out republicans for not supporting the GOP nominee: With less than 24 hours to go until Election Day, former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin endorsed Mitt Romney. Or lecturing them on putting party loyalty above personal feelings: Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin snubbed home state Republicans this year, instead endorsing an independent candidate for governor and his Democratic running mate for lieutenant governor. I'll just say it - Sarah Palin has been a huge disappointment to me. Frankly her speeches and writings this year have been pretty bad - almost embarrassingly so (the one in the link is the best in a while and it's...okay - if you can overlook its Loretta Sanchez nature.). She's one of the few politicians whose speaking and writing skills have actually deteriorated over time. I have some theories as to why but since Ace has enough lawyer trouble, I'll just leave them unspoken. Nigel Farage Resigns as Head of the UK Independence Party Probably a mixture of both vindication and fatigue. Festivals in Northern Europe Are Now Pretty Much Grope and Rape Fests Due to the usual suspects which the authorities very much don't want to talk about. The Swedish police face over 40 reports of rape and sexual assault at two music festivals over the weekend in Karlstad and Norrköping. New Food Stamp Rules Will Kill Many Convenience Stores On Feb. 16 the department announced a rule that would require Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)-authorized retail establishments to offer seven varieties of foods in four staple food groups such as dairy, breads and cereals, meats, poultry and fish, and fruits and vegetables on a continuous basis. Stores would also be required to stock at least six units of each variety, meaning there would have to be at least 168 of the required foods at the store. Why Cops Fear Domestic Disputes When a man and woman became involved in an altercation in their vehicle at 1:30 a.m. in Prince Solms Park in New Braunfels, TX, seven soldiers from Fort Hood intervened to resolve the situation between the two. New Marine Corps Fitness Standards for Combat Weed Out Men, Women Alike But mostly women. The Marines developed a detailed progression of physical standards that recruits must meet to get into the combat jobs. And officials insist that standards will not be lowered to allow more women to pass. So far this year of the 7 women recruits attempting to qualify for a combat position, 6 have failed. Which clearly means the standards are sexist since they didn't yield the correct results. Survivors of the Battle of the Somme Raging 100 years ago this week. It went on for six bloody months with almost a million overall casualties. Net result: The British advanced their lines by 6 miles.
Let John Cena Lecture You About How You're Probably Racist and Sexist In case you were unaware. Growing up in an environment of abject poverty, neglect, and poor health Richard Starkey AKA Ringo Starr was by all accounts - likely including his own - destined for the scrapheap of humanity and an early death. But when he was 13 years old and recovering from tuberculosis in a sanitarium something happened which gave him a purpose in life and set him on a completely different course. These days it's common to dis Ringo's skills as a drummer but there are reasons he deserves respect including the fact that he kept amazingly consistent timing through multiple takes without ever using a click track.
