There was a discussion the other day over classic composers. Because it was the theme song for The Frugal Gourmet, my first love was Handel’s Water Music. It’s a shame the Frug turned out to be just another alcoholic, pedophile Methodist priest. Good recipes though.

That shouldn’t affect the intonation.
Are they using period instruments? Because I believe Händel was writing before valved instruments were a thing.
Wait, there’s an umlaut? Why isn’t it spelled Haendel then?

I rode the Waxahatchie rally once, 60 miles IIRC.
Mayor is there to kick it off and says something like “it’s an old Comanche name that means ’60 miles from Dallas.'” Big laughs.
I don’t know Comanche, but that’s from a Civilized tongue. . . from my parts, not Texas. My guess: Cow Creek.
The ride sucked and I never went back (same with Crowley and Forney). The Italy ride is not excellent, but they have great t shirts, not that any can be found on the interwebz.

Hell, people would pluralize “cello” as “celli” non-ironically.
And don’t even get me started with those assholes who would insist on referring to B natural as “H” if the piece being played was from a German composer.
To be fair, we do say “castrati”.
The presence of an umlaut or not is usually a historical or stylistic choice. For example, Goethe is never spelled “Göte” though it could be.
The umlaut was an innovation that came (IIRC) in the early modern era. It stems from writing the “e” over the preceding vowel instead of next to it, which evolved into the two dots.
“Göte” though it could be.
I never understood “tz.” Same sort of thing: Beltz some places when only Belz is required.
?♂️ No word ends in just “z” – it’s always “tz”.
I have a couple theories but I don’t want to bore anyone.
But yeah German spelling has never been “perfect”. There are many inconsistencies, if not as many as in English.

Remember Graham Kerr?
The Galloping Gourmet…..
That was a while ago. That show ended the same year as The Beverly Hillbillies.
What drugs are you on? He was cooking in the 70’s
When he stopped drinking, the show went downhill at light speed.
The TV show The Galloping Gourmet was only until 1971. The Beverly Hillbillies was 1962-1971.
He did on air cooking even after the 1970s. Cooking in Concert: Julia Child & Graham Kerr was 1995.
Gawd I loved that show. He was usually well lit by the end, but damn, he could cook.
So can Yan.
You cut it up, cut it up, cut it up. See? Isn’t that beautiful.
It’s mahvelous, and you can do this at home!
Ghey? I think so, but I was a kid and didn’t know better back then,
Next your going to tell me Charles Nelson Reilly was a gay.
Oh how my Mother laughed every time he’d cut himself…
That’s harsh.
My mom used to watch Graham Kerr, Justin Wilson, Pasquale’s Kitchen Express, and The Frugal Gourmet. This was 80s-90s. Graham Kerr had stopped drinking by then but Pasquale slugged back wine all through the show.
But what do the American people think?

Did he not learn anything from his experience?
Paul Prudhomme’s potato soup is amazing.
The biggest discrepancy between “excellent recipes” and “total POS” I’ve found has got to be Mark Bittman.
So much so on Bittman.
This was early on in my cooking career. It allowed me to branch out and try new things without being too complicated. He’s got a braised lamb with orzo recipe that I could eat several times a week.

PAY YOUR FUCKING RENT. What the fuck, people? Three adults living in a house and you can’t come up with $1300 to continue living there? That’s a little more than week of work at minimum wage for each of you. You’d rather be evicted and have to move out two months after moving in?
My landlord decided to sell my place out from under me, I haven’t been here 2 months yet, talk about a shitty Lease…
Ugh. That happened to me once. Bummer.
How does that happen? I’ve never seen a lease that allows an owner to sell while a lease is in effect. Right of first refusal, and all…
I got sort of bought out of my last place, but the landlord paid me a nice chunk of change for the privilege & I’m pretty sure I could have refused.
Exactly right.
I’ve got some questions about that too. The rights from the lease run with land. Unless there is a clause for early termination based on a sale, my guess is this is an illegal attempt to evict.
Talk to Legal Aid Yusef.
Your lease does not terminate if they sell unless it says it does, but that is not a right of first refusal (which is a right to purchase and comes in several flavors), and a first refusal would be unusual in a residential lease. A new buyer would generally take the property subject to your rights as a tenant. That said many people are renting month to month.
Disclaimer Ohio license only, general principles, not legal advice etc.
Huh…both of my former property leases included RoFR, so, I figured it was standard.
You’re just special.
What terms? Right to match any offer? Right to buy before offered on the market? Or were you on a Lease Option?
LOL sorry, just curious because this is in my area of practice and anything novel could be of value to clients.
Right to buy before offered on the market, as I understand.
TBH, I never gave a shit, because, as I recall, owners couldn’t sell before lease(s) finished, and I never had any intention of buying.
Also, not sure I was wrong about that intention, 5 years into a mortgage…
It is interesting that they included that term when you did not ask for it. Where was this?
I’m working on a squatter’s rights case. In other states it seems to be really quick and easy, but the law here says 20yrs of consecutive occupation without payment. In year 17. (my back-up if family the family agreement that’s let me be here falls through, long story)
Tejas. I could be wrong, but it was definitely a part of the lease on the house we bought.
Open, notorious, and hostile. If you are there by invitation it doesn’t work 🙂
Texas has odd populist real estate laws. It may be something in State law.
Depends on who invited you when there is more than one owner to the property, and what constitutes ‘hostile’.
The way adverse possession works is basically that the person with the right to eject you loses their right due to the Statute of Limitations running on the action. So the period does not begin until the owner has knowledge, either actual knowledge, or constructive knowledge (basically they should have known if they paid attention, but it can get complex) and a right to eject you from the property. If there are multiple owners, generally speaking they each have the right to allow you to enter into possession, so if one lets you stay there the other has no right to put you out, which probably defeats an adverse possession claim. Also if your possession is not exclusive (for example if you are living with a relative who has an ownership interest) it also defeats adverse possession.
I assume this relates to a family dispute? If you are relying on promises my advice would be to get them to put it in writing preferably by adding you to the deed as a Joint Tenant with Right of Survivorship. I have seen siblings that put their life on hold to care for a parent get royally screwed in informal arrangements about who gets the house.

@creech, from the last thread, yeah, that summed up my impression.

I don’t feel any particular kind of way about Limbaugh or his receiving an MoF, but I will concede that, for better or for worse, he essentially started talk radio as we know it today, and you wouldn’t have the variety and kind of punditry that exists in 2020 without Limbaugh doing his thing. I don’t know if that’s something for the POTUS to reward or not, but I think he’s a significant and impactful figure in politics and media whether you like the guy or not. Whether his impact is a net good is certainly debatable, but anecdotally I know more than a few people whose exposure to alternative political viewpoints in, say, the 80s and especially 90s are due largely to encountering Rush Limbaugh. And not all of those people were pulled into the conservative sphere, either.

Not high praise.
Sure, famous like Typhoid Mary, but still.
If victory is not in reach you must impeach.
During a press conference on Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said that it is “conclusive” President Trump committed high crimes and misdemeanors “And if the president does it in three months, they should impeach him again.”
Schumer responded to a question on whether the Senate’s acquittal vote would “put impeachment to bed” by stating, “Look, this idea, we have too many impeachments, too few impeachments, the standard should not be how many or what’s politically right or wrong. The standard should be, did the president commit high crimes and misdemeanors? I think it’s conclusive that the president did. And if the president does it in three months, they should impeach him again. And if the next president does it, they should impeach him or her.”
Forget the next President, whatever happened to the last one? None of this “we’d apply the same standards to a Democrat” is believable when there is an extremely recent example of them not doing just that. Schiff, Nadler, Schumer, and Pelosi have all been in Congress long enough to have records under multiple Presidents. There was nothing but crickets when Obama did all sorts of shady shit, up to and including basically saying “if Congress won’t act, I will” and sending crates of foreign money to a government that sponsors terrorists without Congressional approval, never mind the Senate ratifying a treaty.
Didn’t the GOP control the House for some time during Obama’s term? They could have impeached him over several issues but chose not to.
Sure, but the claim is that the Democrats would hold a Democrat to the same standards. They already didn’t.
The Republicans really do play by the “rules of Washington”. Bush tortured an American citizen, so they never dreamed of calling Obama to account for drone murdering one, because they recognized that would be utterly bullshit hypocrisy.
I mean, Biden is on tape, at a public event, speaking to a huge group of official Washington people, bragging about how he used the threat for holding back foreign aid to Ukraine in order to quash an investigation into corruption.
Using foreign aid to stop an investigation into corruption is just enlightened policy, but using foreign aid to start one is THE END OF DEMOCRACY AND THE CONSTITUTION.
When you have McCain out there as your point man, it’s kind of hard for the Repubs to impeach Obama for dumping those crates of cash.

Go on FB and people are cheering or booing about this or that microagression that occurred during the speech. Everybody be triggered. OMG, she tore some paper.

Partisanship turns people into retards.
I love it. Especially the cheering game where you try to get the other party not to cheer for obvious good things. Hilarious to me.
Entertainment purposes, absolutely. Taking it seriously is another story.
No, they care that they have been mocked and vilified by scum that are repeatedly trying to cement permanent power in this country. The paper tearing is just a convenient excuse to rant about it. They don’t care that they aren’t being evenhanded or fair. Why would they? The other side will never reciprocate, so all fairness does is ensure that they lose. Fighting back against pettiness and spin with mockery and derision has worked for Trump and I hope it continues. We are not getting back to civil discourse, if we ever had it, because the country is just too big and too diverse for real common ground.
We relied on not violating certain unspoken/written rules for decades. It’s like farting in an elevator, there are no laws against it but if that started helping you win elections where scads of cash power are hanging in the balance, people will start letting them rip. The system relied on people not doing idiotic things like willy nilly impeaching the president. Now? That ship has sailed. #Resist. Justifies any an all behavior that isn’t expressly illegal and some that is.

#thetruthisoutthere
I’ll be the outlier. Yes, I care. This is hardly earth shattering stuff so take it for what it is.
I care that the president, whoever it is, conducts himself in a respectful way. Acting like a buffoon degrades the office. I want the office to much less powerful but not degraded through childish behavior. I care the speaker of the house conducts herself in a respectful way. Acting like a toddler degrades the office. The speaker of the house is third in line for the presidency. Showing just a hint of grace and decorum would be really helpful in the event that person ever has to do something that isn’t entirely partisan.
The idiots of Facebook, Twitter, etc are another discussion. Finding offense in everything means… nothing. I don’t want to enter the troll wars. I would like public officials to at least give the pretense they are trying to rise to the level of their office.
One thing I really like about classical liberals and their cousins is that, while not advocating for anarchy, they will say that government is a necessary evil. You don’t need to venerate a necessary evil. You keep an extra close eye on it and view it with disgust as you tolerate it.
It would be easier to talk about ideas if we weren’t distracted by hijinks. This is likely by design.

How Much of a Scam Is Synthetic Oil?

I was saying to my husband today that I had first gotten politically involved in 2000 due to the recount fiasco. I found right wing radio so that I could hear something to balance the lefty national coverage.

As It Turns Out A Ton Of The Miami Strippers Weren’t Allowed To Keep The Money They Were Showered With
My God Capitalism is monstrous.
Ever been to a peeler bar and the smorg is offered? Ever watched pigs snuffle down lunch in the front row when the ladies are dancing? So-cons have a point when you see stuff like that.
Flyover country is terrifying.
Eating at a strip bar is not a thing I have done, nor is it one I will do.
Do any of you even Swanson?
Meh… Rick’s Cabaret in NOLA’s French Quarter, has some of the best Buffalo wings I’ve ever tasted. The dancers were all my graveyard shift customers and they would let us know when it was gonna be wing day. When one is observing the dynamic of a gentleman’s club as an acquaintance of the employees, it is absolutely fascinating watching these ladies separate drunks from their money.
Seems like we are only getting part of the story. It sounds like there someone/some people lied to the strippers. Fraud is fraud.
Well…I agree.
Caveat Emptor.
I was reading the Wikipedia article about Reagan’s governship (which is brief and seems mostly about shoehorning criticism of him in there, but it’s Wikipedia so no surprise). And there was a poorly inserted reference to Reagan calling the leaders of Tanzania monkeys, which led to this article in The Atlantic. I was a bit surprised as, unlike Nixon, Reagan was not exactly known for being racist. Now, it seems he really did say that, and it is rather grotesque and undeniably racist. But I was struck by how, in an article about Nixon and Reagan’s documented racism, there were repeated and utterly irrelevant references to Trump. Even when writing about a potentially important (if purely historical) topic, they just can’t fucking help themselves.
Also, the whole thing is a bit ironic. I wonder, did Reagan consider Nixon a monkey when the latter sold Taiwan down the river a couple years later?
It wasn’t that bad to say that then, very few people were concerned about saying racist crap,
i was there,
It was rude and not said in proper company, a far cry from something that would get you lynched today. I said “nigger” in front of my Mother once. Once.
Mom and Dad were hip to the Black folks, Dad was in ‘nam so…
Older folks like my Gramps, hmmmmmm, pretty racist, so i heard it often…
It was so long ago I can’t judge because I was only 2 years old. I’m sure it was bad even by the standard of the day.
But to drag that into 2019 is tiresome AF every time.
Well, apparently “sold down the river” is a reference to slavery, so I’ll be in those camps right with everyone else.
I always thought that’s were you could buy Beer,
You’d be better off never “Calling a spade a spade” then.
“sold down the river” is useful, its roots (pardon the pun) in slavery notwithstanding; there’s nothing inherently racist about using it.
The question is not about freedom: it’s legal to say it and illegal for a government to try to stop you from saying it.
The question is about taste. Some people will tell you that any analogy is okay, that even extreme reaches are okay, a poetic license extending as far as the mind might travel. Others would question whether slavery, lynching, genocide, and the like should be used to characterize a hang-nail or a speeding ticket. My experience is that the application of taste anymore boils down to an exercise in identity politics.
As for me, I live in That River and am almost never offended by any words or usage. But, like Justice Stewart, I know when someone is making a stretch, is telling a joke, or is just a workaday asshole. Same as the Stars and Bars for me: no matter the rest or norms of culture, I don’t assume someone is trying to hurt anyone’s feelings when they fly it.
That’s half of the problem. You know when you’re stretching the bounds but someone else is more than ready to pop your linguistic balloon. That’s when you end up with egg on your face. It’s unfair because the rules keep shifting. It’s the idea of hate speech, writ small.

Shapiro is annoying, but his message was quite funny
Peterson is a genuine intellectual and has interesting things to say that while they may overlap with Conservative viewpoints, and are decidedly opposed to post modernism, neo marxism, and the various other isms of the left, are not at all in lockstep with the right. Shapiro is a straight political pundit from the right.
Agreed.
I’ve been browsing podcasts and, man, it’s a desert. Shapiro isn’t as annoying as Levin, but talk about damning with faint praise. So far I’ve got to say Rubin is the best of the bunch. I’ve also got a week spot for Rogan. I part ways with him often but at least he’s willing to interview anyone and doesn’t seem to have an agenda.
It’s been three years. November is soon enough.
I don’t do much listening to podcasts right now, but I loved Andrew Heaton’s last one. Haven’t listened to the new one. But I mean, the guy knows how to pull a prank.
Ben Shapiro WALKS into his local STARBUCKS and WITNESSES a LIBTARD CUCK.The LIBTARD says:

while the TRIGGERED LIBTARD SNOWFLAKE CUCK MACHINE walks away, Ben gets CALLED up to ORDER.
“What’s would you like?”
” I would LOVE a nice CUP of BLACK COFFEE WITH NO CREAM OR SUGAR please. ”
“What’s your name?”
” it’s BEN. ”
“okay thanks.”
Ben sits DOWN at the TABLE and a FEW minutes LATER he gets CALLED to the COUNTER.
“Here you go enjoy your coffee.”
” I HATE when a LIBTARD CUCK SNOWFLAKE, tells me what to DO. ”
He then stared into her eyes and sips his STRONG, BLACK, COFFEE with NO CREAM or SUGAR.

My gym teacher taught ‘Earth History’. Low level geology. At least I know one guy he was friends with was a rock collector. I’m sure that was the extent of his exposure.
Geology Rocks!,
Maybe he could have taught Music as well?
HA! 11th grade American History, our teacher was a landscaper with a degree in sports medicine or coaching or something or other who had been hired to fill a sudden vacancy. Class consisted of me recording Tour Of Duty, watching the tape in class and discussing the war in Indo-China while Mr. Bennett read his latest Sporting Life or Sports Illustrated. The only exception was the week he underwent his observation by the department chair. We were ordered to bring our textbooks every day that week; we outlined the chapters, then memorized the State capitals… in 11th grade US History.
Somewhat. Some folks can and do and teach because it’s cool to learn the youngins some skills. Most teachers are nice folk, just like you or I and want the best for their students. Many teachers are cuntes sucking from the government’s teat.
It’s a very old Tradesman term, as in, I’m too worn to do it, but I love teaching it,

It’s a tough world out there. The odds are in your favor, however.
What sort of punishment is he facing?
Japan still has hangings.
Is that the possible penalty here or are more like an urban myth at this point?
My bet is he’ll hang eventually. He planned out the whole thing.
He appears as guilty as sin. However, Carlos Ghosn’s recent experience with Japan’s justice system makes me question its fairness.
They have supposedly had an upsurge in capital punishment over recent years. I think it is a real thing, but rare due to low crime rates. I believe they executed the sarin gas attackers.
Shoko Asahara, The Charlie Manson in charge of Aum Shinrikyo, was hung for the Sarin attacks in 2018. Yea, they still do hangings. The prisoner doesn’t even know the exact date. It’s mental torture to do that and they should stop.
And notify the family of the executed prisoner after it’s been carried out to basically pick up the remains.
Very un-glib of me but I think that some should be hung.
Curtains are hung, people are hanged.

I think capital punishment is wrong but it’s probably not in my top 10 list of concerns.
I think it is ok, and likewise, not in my top 10.
That was a quote from the murder! I mean, talk about being careful what you “wish” for…
I’m on the fence. I think some crimes and some people absolutely deserve it. I also think that societies that have abolished the death penalty have problems directly and indirectly stemming from lack of a death penalty for certain crimes. And I don’t trust government to get it right every time. I know there have been innocent people executed.
I think that it is ok, with certain cases. But my idea on that clashes with idea of ‘criminally insanity’. If your only defense is that you are too crazy to not kill, then the whole idea of recidivism and reform is out the door. Carl may not have been within his right to kill Lenny, but the state surely would have been. (given following proper procedure and due process of course.)

I was flying out of LAX on Tuesday. Suddenly on the way to a security check, a group of Chinese travelers got in front of me. To my relief, I noticed they had Taiwanese passports.
They have a ton of new cases there, too. China wouldn’t let the Taiwanese leave quarantined Chinese cities even when they were allowing other nationalities to be evacuated. They’re Chinese, after all.
What are Chinese from Taiwan doing in rebel held-territory?

Oooh! Take note, glibs–as of this posting, the San Diego PD internet is back up and running.
Good on them. I guess.
Why would that make a difference? Are you wanted in San Diego?
Depends on who has a situation with SDPD, and, what that situation is. I don’t, as I’ve never been to CA.
I imagine it makes a difference to the employees there, as they most likely didn’t have access to needed databases without it (depending on how those databases are accessed).
Otherwise, I have no idea why it was a necessary for that info to be broadcast to all LE agencies across the US–which it was.
Because, they’re the most important PD in the nation, and everyone needs to know.

Welp, gotta go commute to work in what is alternatively described as “freezing rain” and “Wintery mix”. Fun.
Yup. “Freezing drizzle” predicted here, with snow to come later, but nothing showing on the radar at the moment.
Got a weekend getaway planned at the nearby state park lodge tomorrow. Oh, well – at least the lodge is pleasant and cozy, and the food is good.
It’s amazing how a little inclement weather makes people forget how to drive.
I find a small amount of rain either makes people way overcompensate by driving slower than conditions actually call for, or they don’t seem to compensate for conditions at all. I suppose a lot of folks are running around on recuts/retreads on their beater that they’ve had on there for 11 months and don’t want to take any (more) chances, and some other folks have super expensive winter/wet weather tyres on their fancy uptown rig, and drive everywhere with the TCS and ESC lights flashing around every bend.
I don’t think it’s legal to run on retreads here. Don’t know why, they’re not significantly different from normal tires.
I’m sure that decent ones are fine for a daily, but personally I wouldn’t touch them. I imagine certain commercial vehicles run them here; anything to minimize overheads. I often see big blown out, shredded tyres on the shoulder and just hope I’m never alongside on of those rigs when that happens.

Oh, there’s amateur video that fans/followers took at some of our gigs, but I’d be hard-pressed to find any where I don’t dislike either the way I look or the way we sounded at that moment. (Mostly the former, plus I’d risk doxxing myself.) We played almost entirely covers except for a few songs that Mr. GT wrote.
Fair enough. Maybe one day, insh’Algorithm, I will find some of your music.
