Why the fuck would a 80 year old be walking down a dark street alone? They should be at home, watching Matlock reruns. Seriously, if you see an old person walking down the street, get off your lazy ass and help them. There is no reason, not justifiable at any rate, for them to be out in the dark on foot alone. Give them your number and tell them to call you, day or night, if they need a damned ride. You unneighborly bastards. Seriously. WTF? If they are a crotchety old bastard who insists on no help, then fuck 'em - they can make that choice. For those that do not want to make that choice, give them a hand you self-centered pricks. (Not you specifically but maybe you specifically - that is up to you to decide.)
I may be a prick but I think I direct my ire at the right parties. Ya fuggin' pricks. Give 'em a hand. Am I the last person on earth that does so? I give 'em rides to the hospital/doctor/shopping even. Then again, I am retired so I can do more of it - but I still did it before I was retired. My understanding is that I can actually fill in some information on a form and my state will pay me something like $0.35/mile for my service, I do not need the money so I do not do it. I'd feel like a skeeve if I did take the money anyhow, money is not why I do it. I do it because I am a fucking human.
I stop and give rides (or offer) to people I see walking even if they are not actively hitching. I used to get 'em drunk and high but now I just smoke weed with them at times. I am forever bringing a stray home for a day. It makes life interesting. I am not suggesting going that far but, still, give them a ride. It is the neighborly thing to do.
We have had lots of beliefs that were not grounded in facts. I can only speak for driving because traffic pattern analytics requires understanding of causation but lights, in general, do not make a street safer. They may, in some circumstances, make it less safe as the lighting is inconsistent and gives false confidence - those being the two suspect reasons generally assumed. The best place for illumination is at intersections which helps with a multitude of problems. One of the primary benefits is that people who are aware of this (and many are not) will note where the intersection is and can be prepared for it.
If you get out into a rural area you will find that this is quite common - almost universal. Where there is an intersection there is a light. This way you can slow down for the intersection and turn at the right time instead of being surprised by it. Those strange lights out in the middle of nowhere? Yeah, they mean something. They are typically not at the end of private driveways or private roads, however. As they are rather standardized it comes in handy. In my experience (much more than most given my career and penchant for travel) this is pretty standard across the US and more built-up sections of Canada. It is fairly common in much of Europe from what I have seen. Call it a quasi-standard if you want.
However, street lights are more for pedestrian traffic than for automotive traffic. They have not been shown to improve automobile safety by anything more than a rounding error unless things have drastically changed in the past eight years and I suspect they have not - given the prevalence of adequate lighting on vehicles. The reason I specify automotive/automobile traffic is because street lights do, as far as I recollect, improve bicycling traffic a great deal. While cyclists do have options for lighting much of that really is not adequate and the regulations for such are usually due to making them more visible to automobile drivers. There exist options for better lighting on bicycles but they are not that common as of yet and they are rather power hungry devices.
All things considered, the Navy is actually pretty thrifty. They seem expensive because they have big-budget items but when you realize how large they are and what we pay for the items, they are not really that expensive. They, and by extension the Marines (a division of the Navy) generally get pretty good marks with GAO. They may spend a half billion on a carrier but that thing will be in service for 30 years and then mothballed and able to be brought back into service for another 50 years and will only need some small overhaul and electronics upgrades.
All-in-all, if you look at it, they are not really all that expensive considering that they police the waters of the entire planet for pretty much every country without charge. We can all agree that the US should not be the world's police but that is a matter of debate - we are damned if we do and damned if we do not. I would submit that the USN is actually about the only area where we should be policing the world if we are going to do it at all. We do a very good job at it and are really quite respected for it. If you have never seen the event of a carrier group steaming into a foreign port then you are missing out.
As a young Marine (Yay! GI Bill!) I got to guard the USS Kennedy for a little over six months. I went to Big John's decommissioning in '07 by the way. Anyhow, the amount of respect given and the happiness (and curiosity) is surprising. This trend continues today. You can watch any number of documentaries and shows that will give further information.
As a huge fan of cutting back military spending this is one area where I think we have managed to achieve some sort of balance. We pay a lot, do not get me wrong, but we could be paying far more and getting fewer positive results. When Big John comes rolling into town, even in a European country with a lot of disdain for the US, there is an immense gushing of praise and thanks. Unless you have witnessed it then I really can not expect you to truly understand it. It has its effect everywhere. If you are a sailor or a Marine you *will* walk proud with your head high, arms back, and chest out in pride and rightfully so.
I have shined me some brass and scrubbed a lot of stainless. There is not much guarding to do but tradition is tradition.
Do you have an application that is stealing focus? There's a reg hack for that. Disable applications from stealing focus should be a search term that will bring up the required hack. There's a GUI way to accomplish this but I can not recall it.
I was like, "Rise! Rise! Rise up my master Toilet! Arise!"
Then I was like, "No! Why for they bury the cold, cold ground? Come back my master toilet! Come back!"
It was the worlds shortest soap opera for drunken men. The plot was very good. I had a happy and then I had a sad and was left with a mystery. Who was controlling such a device? Had it been gifted by the gods? Why for had this not been allowed to live? What will happen next? Also, is there a button? It was probably the best video I have ever watched on YouTube other than one about dealing with cats that pissed on a guys stuff too often. That made me wonder why the only two good YouTube videos (other than pirated documentaries) are about urination...
I need a couple of those for the summer months when I tend to have scads of people on my lawn. I usually rent two porta-potties for the summer plus there is the house that was here when I bought the place and people can use the toilet in there. Close friends usually just come inside the house to go to the bathroom though but a lot of the people on my lawn are not really what I would call close friends. In case this is confusing, I tend to have a bit of a gathering most every weekend at my house even though I no longer drink or do drugs. A few weekends out of the year I will buy a half of a cow and a couple of pigs and maybe smoke a turkey or whatnot. I generally have a couple of kegs delivered every weekend or as needed. Those usually end up in the Kegerator or just down near the horseshoe pits and spit on ice.
I have 'the spot' and it is safe and remote here so I still enjoy the company enough to ensure that 'the spot' remains open even though I have stopped using and drinking. I do smoke some weed now and again. Lots of folks come and tent, those who are close or needs get to use the house that was here originally. When I bought the land I was going to tear the old house down and have the basement filled in but i decided I would keep it, fix it up a little, and just use it for visitors. I call it the guest house but that sounds egotistical so I mostly just refer to it as 'the other house' or 'the white house' because it is, you know, white and my house is colored... Hmmm.... It is colored wood or cedar I guess.
He played in a little town called Livermore Falls, ME. I bounced for his concert at the bar he played at because the owner asked me to and I had done some bouncing way back in my college days. (I am not a big guy but I carry myself well and spent 8 years enlisted in the Marines. People tend to leave me alone or listen when I use my "unhappy daddy voice.")
Anyhow, everything was fine and dandy. There were no issues except for one drunken idiot that had to be removed. That was done safely and with no interruptions. I seem to recall it was during the holiday season - it might have been New Years Eve. I was up in the area (I did not live in Maine at the time) visiting friends and taking some time off.
No, I have no real point and this really is not a very good/. story to share but Grampy KGIII doesn't really give a fuck and has karma to burn, plus it seemed like a good story to share anyways. It is doubleplusgood.
I like pissing on my own back tire. I figure it keeps the other guys from doing it. I plan on shooing away anyone that I catch peeing on my tire with a rolled up newspaper and calling them a bad dog.
I still get a wee bit finicky about the word "MODEM" being thrown about. The is no cable modem nor DSL modem. In both cases the signal remains digital. MODEM is MOdulation and DEModulation. Whilst trivial it still irks me a little tiny bit but not enough to actually comment on it most of the time. That and, well, the options are a bit clunky to type or to say. Still, I prefer to use the word router, I suppose.
Art class was so very very long ago, likely before you were a mote in your father's eye, actually. I never took any of the arts classes in college - I did take creative writing and music classes which served to fill my prerequisites. Anyhow, I may be wrong. Isn't black the presence of all colors and white the absence of any color?
I could see using the RGB to create black but how does one manage to get a true white? It seems (I did not even do more than skim the summary) that there would need to be some filtering involved or multiple lasers.
The last time we had this conversation, we have had it multiple times, I followed a link that showed there was no GMO in the wild - ever - for human consumption. I do not know if the link was accurate but it was interesting.
I am a Buddhist. That sort of fits actually. I am an atheist as well. I like to point out, I am not a Buddhist, not a fucking monk. So, yes... I am suffering for a higher purpose (not a higher power). I want my atoms to be scattered to the stars and to be happy while they do it, damn it.
The only logical thing to do with such power is use it to rape, murder, pillage, and burn... Anything else would be less civilized. Done in the wrong order, however, is not civilized at all.
There is this nice Chinese diner, looks like hell, right off the rip in Terre Haute, Indiana. The food is awesome. I did get food poisoning (or something else) that kept me in a hotel room for three days. It was worth it.
