Cold and cold. Hopefully clear so that it gets a little warmer later. Yesterday didn’t get much warmer. It was 40s and 50sF all day and the breeze was bone chilling.
I did get a couple of things done. Got up at a reasonable time, for me, for a weekend. Did some cleanup. I cleaned a felt hat for me that I picked up a while ago. It’s been in my storage unit since then. Now I’m wearing it. It’s a soft felt packable fedora, with a wider brim than my other ones. Took some work to get the spots off of it but it looks good now. And I cleaned a pair of shoes for resale. Nice Prada driving moccasins. They’re too small for me but look nice after cleaning, reshaping, and conditioning.
Did some other home stuff then did my pickup. It was just down the road so it wasn’t a big commitment. I got three new galvanized steel buckets. Buckets are an important but undervalued prep, and plastic ones will break or degrade and then break. Long term prepping says “you better have some buckets that will last.”
Took a load from storage to the shop too. I’ve still got a lot of stuff in the unit. I made some more room in the shop with some more sorting and condensing, so maybe today I’ll get another load or two taken over. I should do some work on the patio or the driveway here too, but the cold makes it very painful to work outdoors.
No matter what else I do, I’ll find something on the list to chip away at.
Stack something. Learn something. Stay busy.

Sunday. Good morning. 1 February already?
Today is Imbolc and Saint Brigid‘s Day. Along with glorious Saint Patrick, she is the co-patron saint of Ireland. Imbolc is an ancient feast that marks the beginning of the end of winter (I saw daffodils in bloom the other day!), and Christianity astutely associated the existing feast with Saint Brigid, in the same way that ancient midwinter festivities morphed into Christmas.
In Ireland, it is traditional to weave a cross for the house today out of rushes. I haven’t done that since I was a child, but the memory somehow popped up. Maybe I should find a damp spot in the woods and get some rushes. Other than in bogs and marshes, rushes like to grow in a substrate that has been compacted and therefore holds water, so they can often be found in places where vehicles passed through the woods, but are not coming and going regularly, like infrequently-used tracks.
Time to think about some breakfast… Have a good day.
Counting today, I only have 4 more rent payments to make for my son. He graduates in May with his aerospace engineering degree. GPA will be around 3.5. To say I’m proud is an understatement. He has had a couple interviews so far, so we will see what happens.
According to my kids, The Arboretum, one of Austin’s semi-Fancy Lad shopping areas, had ice piled into one parking spot from the maintenance crews scraping the lot that morning. The pile was still considerable at 5 PM when they stopped to pick up a birthday cake for my wife.
I had my ticket to Elysium punched yesterday with my wife’s birthday gift which meant enduring The Domain, Austin’s imitation of a Caifornia “lifestyle center” mall. Lots of Tonymobiles and, given the weather, $2500 outerwear fit for a Eurotrash ski area.
The crash will be brutal in Austin.
My GP suggested a new Apple Watch to monitor my O2 sat levels at night before heading in for another sleep study at the hands of the Sleep Apnea Industrial Complex, but I’ll see how well the health sensors work on my wife before further enriching Tim Cook’s retirement fund. Her last watch was six years old and due for a swap.
My employer’s health plan offers reimbursement for a health band device but not Apple.
The bitterness over the boss’s short-sighted position on Apple thirty years ago lingers.
Will New Election Evidence Damage the Supreme Court?

It will and it should. A blind pig should have been interested in what went on in 2020.
If the FBI brings the receipts into the light, Roberts has to go. He is either stupid, lazy, compromised, or part of it.
The Roberts Court does not view protecting voters from “foolish” political decisions as one of its missions.
Good luck impeaching The Old School Marm. IIRC, only 10 Federal Judges have been removed from the bench in he history of the US, and only two since Alcee Hastings 40 years ago.

Berlin Hospitals Struggle to Treat Hundreds of Falls During Winter Freeze Because Environmental Laws Forbid Use of Salt on Sidewalks

When green weinie environmental stupidity becomes malfeasance, the correct response is direct action. Spraying them with water to get a nice glaze coatng of ice and then pulling them with a tow rope behind a plow would be a good start.
Evidently following the voting laws and supporting the investigation of fraud organized to steal elections is also not one of it’s missions.
Hey, hey,
Ho, ho,
Time to give Bobby,
The old Heave Ho.
You’ve talked about this before, and I’ll admit I’m leery. Fortunately, I did a home study and passed with flying colors, so I’m good. It was prescribed by my PCP.
I’ve just made an appointment with a pay-as-you-go ENT in Houston, something of a celebrity doc. No insurance claims are filed, and she’s in independent practice, not a corporate clinic.
I don’t know if that’s enough to keep your info private, but it seems like a good start.
I’ll be filing my own claim, since this visit is all about a normal acute issue.
Rushes. Not familiar with the term but looks like tule reed to me.
Namesake for Tulare Calif and the infamous tule fog.
SR99 59 vehicle pileup yesterday. No fatalities. Earlimart in Tulare county.
37F but bright and sunny.
Trying a waffle with pure maple syrup for breakfast, just to see what the numbers do.
Wife did the at home study on a night I barely noticed any snoring, let alone apnea. They diagnosed her, and she’ll find out what they suggest. She doesn’t want a cpap machine. One bad nights, there is a 45 count pause in her breathing. It’s enough to wake me up because it’s so wrong. But the study doesn’t know that because it wasn’t one of those nights. And they don’t seem to care, so wtf will the machine do on a night like that?
She hasn’t slept thru the night in 17 years. We’ve been blaming the disruption and learned behaviour on the breast feeding schedule. Maybe it’s the apnea. She sleeps for a while, wakes, reads for a bit, sleeps, wakes, reads, etc., all through the night. I don’ think one night study caught that either.
My feeling is that it’s like asking a barber if you need a haircut.
n
About 15 years ago W1 insisted I get checked. She already had a CPAP and I went to her pulmonary doc and had a home sleep study. Small box, chest band, finger sensor, and breathing sensor tube over the ears and under the nose. Worst night’s sleep I ever had. Kept tossing and waking. Of course I then had a CPAP that back then was about a $500 copay. Half the nights I never wore it and often woke with it off my face and unaware of doing so. After the cardiac incident in 2012 I did better at the urging of the cardiologist. Eventually got used to it and now every night. Rarely issues and I don’t snore so don’t get kicked or elbowed either. Usually get about 6 hours in before waking and that’s not a breathing issue.
Upright and breathing. Low energy and lots going on just in normal life so rarely have a chance to read lately.
I really like the tax credit for contributing to an SGO for private school scholarships. We will definitely take advantage of that giving opportunity. Daughter is lackadaisical about academics, trying to install some perspective before she enters 9th grade when grades become more impactful on future choices.
Getting ready for rabbit breeding season. Crossing fingers for better results than last year. Goal is 50 in the freezer by Halloween. Achievable with two does and a buck with modestly successful breedings and litter sizes. Last year was a disaster because of travel.
Did a turnaround trip recently to pick up a puppy for a friend that doesn’t fly. Got to do a little sight seeing and breath in puppy breath. Nice break from the usual. did not bring home a new mandolin or any other instruments through a remarkable exercise of self control and steel resolve. Music is good – still getting together weekly with group of friends to swap songs and make a joyful noise. Stepped down from the board of directors for a volunteer organization so I’d have more time for in laws age and health needs.
Anchorage property assessments came out with some nasty surprises for many. Even the local liberal rag is hand wringing. The process for assessment is obfuscated since we changed the software. Actual property assessors rarely visit properties for in person evals, and Anchorage doesn’t require reporting when sales occur. It’s a mess and watching the fall out calls for popcorn. We are planning our exit from Anchorage however the soonest it may happen is fall 2030, contingent on care needs of the in laws.
Our governor is floating a sales tax during tourist season and other unpleasantries. Alaska came in as 4th most hostile to starting a new business.
Alaska remains beautiful and full of wonder, if you can get past the ways we’re actively turning it into California of the north.

And good to get your update Jenny.

This article is worth a read. It’s about two companies with product at CES, both based on millimeter wave sensors as replacements for cameras. Since the sensor essentially uses radar, but at VERY high resolutions, it’s not a “picture” or a “camera” so they want to put them everywhere. They can detect breathing and heartrate, could certainly recognize sex acts, can differentiate between people, and track and record all that.
https://www.securityinfowatch.com/ces-show/article/55264065/hot-ces-technology-makes-mmwaves
They look like PIR motion sensors so you’d never even know you were under extremely detailed surveillance.
Of course they are selling the idea for elder care, but I’m sure schools and prisons are next.
n
times seem to be better, and chat just pinged me that they are looking for an issue.
n
If the PCP had a legitimate concern and recommended the test, you have to get the test or be classified “non-compliant” in the chart. My GP doesn’t recommend the tests lightly, and I ended up seeing a lousy sleep specialist on the recommendation from the cardiologist, who wanted to eliminate apnea/masked hypertension as a possible cause of my high blood pressure.
Chat says

n
My PCP was carefully chosen. Not a corporate clinic, he’s willing to work with patient desires, and I believe he wouldn’t “order” me to take a test like that or document me as non-compliant.
As a data point, he refused the Vaxx.

People still think of Alaska as being like “Northern Exposure”.

Ok, small tweak, moved all the slate blue to variations in tint of the same base color.
The result is pretty subtle.

My PCP’s had family members who refused the jab, but he pushed on me every visit for a couple of years, which I politely declined.
My guess is that he took the J&J jab based on adenovirus. Still experimental, but adenovirus is how pets are vaccinated for rabies.
Sunday night. Home from the BOL. A two hour journey took me three hours, because I spent an hour for one mile of the way.
The motorway people were removing a bridge over the road, and they had reduced the traffic from two motorways (four or five lanes) to a single lane. My GPS warned me of 11 minutes delay en route, which I chose to accept. That turned out to be an hour. If the warning had been accurate, I could easily have exited the motorway before the eye of the needle and driven the last 20km home on secondary roads. Grr.
Oh, and for added joy, the house is cold. I ordered propane two weeks ago, and it still hasn’t been delivered. It seems that our tank has run dry, or at least so low that the boiler has gone into error mode. The propane company’s online portal is showing a delivery scheduled for tomorrow, so I hope they manage that, otherwise I am going to have an uncomfortable week… Brr. I have alternative electric heating, and I can light a wood fire if need be, but I would rather they bring the gas soonest.
Time for bed. Extra blankets tonight, I think… Goodnight.
@denis, without propane, can you cook? Make hot water? both my stovetop and hot water are propane at the BOL.
I have alternatives, but of course they aren’t as convenient.

My ‘rip all the things’ journey continues.
I’m working my way thru a pile that wouldn’t read or wouldn’t rip with the old DVD drive. So far, only one has failed to read and rip.

Note for anyone with Proton accounts: Because of changes to Swiss privacy and data retention laws, Proton is starting a move out of Switzerland. For now, it seems to be just a partial establishment elsewhere and the mail and VPN services are still hosted in Switzerland. Based on similar events, though, I imagine that this is just the first salvo of laws and first stage of changes that Proton will be making.
Proton claims that this will have no effect on user privacy because of end-to-end encryption, but I have my doubts. First, traffic analysis is at least as valuable as content analysis. Second, I can’t help but cast a skeptical look at any company which says “Even we can’t look into your secure data. Trust us, Bro.” Even if that’s a true statement today, it says nothing about tomorrow’s version of the software.
I’m feeling awful run down and beat down. Been very busy for weeks. Earning a living, family BS, weather BS, government BS. The chickens are no more of a bother than usual but they’re still a responsibility which takes a little time every day and occasionally takes a bigger chunk of time. (eg, yesterday I had to replace the heat light because the bulb just fell apart in the socket. “Fortunately” I had a spare lamp and bulb in the shed but it still took over a half hour in below-0 weather, with wind, to swap everything, get it wired in, etc.) On the other hand, they do provide some entertainment. (Not so much for the past week. They aren’t running around much, just sitting on a roosting rail, all floofed out because of the cold.)
Yeah, they proposed this last July or so if the law was enacted. Goobermint ruins everything. I’m staying with them at this point. They all say we don’t keep logs, can’t see your stuff, etc, I think Proton is the best VPN I’ve tried.
But I’ll watch to see how it plays out.
Cut the grass in the back yard. Condensation is taking its toll on the mower. I’ll need to do some cleaning and rebuilding before summer.
Set up the long hose for the BBQ bottle and my generic Mr Heater Lil Buddy. Moved some stuff. Fired up the diesel heater out on the patio just to do it. There’s a cough of diesel smoke then it settles down. Won’t start it indoors though. Or run it as the exhaust just comes out the bottom.
Guts are complaining about the cheese I ate yesterday so I don’t want to be far from the comforts of home. Still have a little more light to do some more poking around on the patio…
n
That reminds me, I was just thinking about RBT and his investigation of Netflix throttling his DVD’s in the mail: they would just send disks from distribuition centers further away (after the first dozen or so) and blame the USPS.
The reason I was thinking about that was because I’ve noticed that from time to time my Prime orders from Amazon stretch from the advertised one or two days to one or two weeks. In particular some dried fruit I’d ordered took 10 days to arrive after claiming next day delivery. But there were a number of such things, and they tend to clump.
The ordering on my part is sporadic, heavy during certain times & projects, and light most of the time
All I needed to see about the Grammy coverage was the best and worst dressed pics… If those are the best, then it’s time for the flaming ball… because the demented freaks thought the worst outfits looked good to them.
Attention seeking whores. Cut off the attention that keeps them alive.
n
BTW, I have an inline filter (and a backup) on my 20# to Portable Buddy hose. Apparently a lot of the aftermarket lines dissolve oils into the propane stream, eventually gumming up the units metering ports, though Mr. Heater has some lines – not all – that they claim do not.
My DH has a 1″ diameter corrugated steel exhause hose about 3′ (probably a meter) long. So one could run the hose to a through wall port and keep the unit indoors and gain the advantage of recycle heat, I’ve seen YT videos of that.
But yeah, I think indoors is not good, unless you must, though people in colder than California climes sometimes do. There is the carbon monoxide danger, the fire danger, the smell of diesel and of course the noise.
—–
By the way, I saw a YouTube video where a guy ran his diesel heater on high with a measured amount of diesel. Using the specific heat content in diesel and time to burn it he determined that his 8 kW unit was actually a 5 kW unit, which is what people have been saying for years. It’s still a nice heating source. Just don’t pay extra for the 8 kW unit.
Wait until the Oscars broadcast.
Last year’s planned stunt of awarding Best Actress to a male was short circuited so Hollywood will be out for serious payback if not literal blood in the culture wars.
Pink Panther w/ steve martin also refused to rip.
Something specific is happening with some of these discs.
n
@SteveF
It’s a great life, if you don’t weaken.
Hang in there, sir.
Hold the DVD up to the light and look for holes.
Not that Martin as Inspector Clouseau is any great loss.
@greg, it’s been a dozen versions of the disc. I must have picked it up every time I saw it. Special versions, ordinary versions, doesn’t matter. Handbrake finds on file the right length, but when I rip i only get a 5k file. No errors, it’s just done in seconds.
Some other discs do the same, Rambo, Ultraviolet, some of the Die Hard movies.
n
Greg beat me to it.
‘No great loss’ is being kind.
Huh, I remember it with fondness.

This fits with all the youtube ‘manosphere’ content I’ve been seeing lately.
I cheated on my perfect husband on a girls’ trip in Bali. The next day, my friend confessed something that made my skin crawl
I love my husband, I really do. In many ways, he’s perfect. Yet, when I met a hot Swedish backpacker on my White Lotus-style girls’ holiday, I was putty in his hands… – paywall, but the blurb says it all.
– yeah, you claim to love him, but you don’t respect him, and the truth about your love is probably something else.
n
Play the physical disc with VLC and see what track runs when starting the movie from the main menu. Rip that track number with Handbrake.
If Handbrake still doesn’t rip the track, you may have to go for a raw MP2 rip using Linux and mplayer on the Mint system. Put the disc in the drive on the Linux box and run lsdvd from a command line prompt. Install libdvdcss if prompted.
Once you have libdvdcss installed properly, research around on directions for using mplayer/mencoder.
Jar Jar Abrams “Star Trek” is a tough disc to rip, and I have to use mplayer on … track 72 … ? … to get the raw MP2 and then re-encode with ffmpeg on Linux.
Circa 2006, the studios got really radical with attempting to copy protect DVDs as more people caught on about torrents and started passing around movies using the technology.
I’m guessing X-er.
My friend’s divorce lawyer always starts with the “girls only” trips anywhere. She has the best contacts in Vegas since that’s where the X-er females were doing the 50th birthday parties in large numbers pre-pandemic, but Austin and Nashville have moved up the list lately.
“The Pink Panther” made money. It also cost $80 million to make.
DVD sales and rentals back then were a fast way for a studio to recover a $60-80 million PG mistake or a hard ‘R’ production with that kind of budget.
Snipes is right when he lays down the money line in his “Deadpool & Wolverine” cameo.

@greg, as soon as my rip of season one of Fall Guy finishes, I’ll give the VLC trick a try on Rambo. I don’t need pink panther that much, especially if i’m misremembering it as good, I’ve just tried to rip it so many times I don’t want to quit without success.
n
@EdH
One of the many reasons I have no respect for Amazon is the games they play with deliveries. About 15 years ago I figured out that for some items ordered without prime they would generate the label and call it shipped when it apparently was just beingput into a pallet box and either accumulated until full or more likely just held up for a couple days to lengthen the non-prime shipping times before being delivered to the shipper. The clue then was the lack of scans indicating that the package was not in the hands of USPS, and therefore not “shipped” by any common definition.
Now, of course, they can say anything they like as the packages are under there control without an outside check.

The response should be immediate publication of all ProPublica employee names and personal information, followed by “you don’t get to sleep anymore” protests.
Then it would be a shame if these grifters financials were put through a strained to see if any turds happened to turn up.
Just for transparency, of course.
Just finished a Bell’s Arabicadabra Coffee Milk Stout. ABV 5.5%
Bottled 10/10/2019. Quoted Shelf Life: 6 months
Storage temp: 65 degrees F
ABV below the range usually considered for cellaring. Flavor profile changed somewhat from original. Not successful enough to repeat. Grade: C+.
I need to keep better notes. I don’t recall specifically, but I suspect that I cellared this one because it was a new addition to their lineup. Like many craft brewers their website is inadequate, but it looks like this beer is not actually discontinued but maybe hanging on by a thread.
Bell’s has some fine beers. Overon is a very nice summer ale. Kalamazoo Stout is a solid entry. Their Amber Ale is the best of the normal range offerings, and Expedition Stout was one of the first Russian Imperials and remains one of the top-tier.
Tonight’s movie was Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
As is my wont, I googled some of the actors during the movie.
Julie Newmar was billed as Newmeyer. While I have always found her easy to look at, dating back to my Batman and Get Smart days, I noticed tonight that she moved well. Short-sighted of me, I know, that it never occurred to me that she had more going on than her looks.
She graduated high school at 15, and danced as prima ballerina professionally, at the Los Angeles Opera, also at 15. She’s a classically rained pianist, studied philosophy in college, invested in real estate, and has some rather interesting patents. And a Tony award.
While doing this research, I was reminded of something @Greg should look up. She was in a sitcom with Bob Cummings called My Living Doll.
10-year old me was fascinated with Newmar playing a robot. Definitely not a sex robot. Definitely.

@Greg, Inspire?
Julie Newmar was much better as Catwoman than Kitt or Merriweather. I’m surprised she wasn’t a Bond Girl.
Started “Rambo” in VLC and it was track 1, 1:31:28 long.
Started Handbrake, selected track 1 (its choice too) with the correct length, and it scanned and encoded in 20 seconds. IE. Failed to rip.
Oh well, it’s not First Blood, it’s another Rambo movie that probably sucks. I forgot that the movie I liked was called First Blood.

I ran out of room for photos on my phone’s SD card so I’ve been deleting and zipping up photos while doing other stuff. I’d like to remove and zip all the photos I’ve taken with the ebay app, but there isn’t a good way to manage them. I can see them if I add them to my ‘photo’ app, but there isn’t a way to see them in the photos.google.com site so as to manage them. I’m gonna have to pull the card and do it manually. There’s always a risk of corrupting the card when you do that.
Not my favorite thing. I guess I should be happy it took several years to fill the 128GB card.

Dadgumit, I just ran out of Landman episodes. Brings me back to my days of working at the edge of the Patch and in the Patch. We had a rule while working in Monahans, stay out of Odessa.

Right Mr. Mangione?
I did not get up until 2pm today, went to bed at 1am and read until 3am. That deer hunting is hard work and freaking cold too.
My brother has got his deer camp outfitted just right. A double wide 4/2 with a lean too attached and a 2,400 ft2 shed that he has insulated and closed off the 14 ft by 14 doors. The shed is fully heated / air conditioned with three 10×10 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. A full kitchen and huge tv area are in the open area. For insulation, he foamed every accessible portion of the inside structure, there is no ceiling, just the foam on the inside of the metal panels.
Right Mr. Mangione?
– I carry because you don’t always know that you need to until it’s too late.

Yeah, that’s a problem with studies. I had one due to occasional difficulty swallowing. Despite my best efforts to provoke the problem, nothing happened during the study. It’s not even that the docs are unmotivated – but without anything to diagnose, there’s not a lot they can do…
I suppose the question is: does she in total get enough rest? Granted, the apnea is it’s own problem, but: if she’s does this for 17 years, it isn’t likely to change.
Getting old is not for the faint of heart…
@Jenny: Good to hear from you again!
Switzerland is considering expanding its internet surveillance. True, and we are fighting it. For now, the law has been shoved back into committee, where they are supposed to fix it. Of course, they will try again – that’s what authoritarian politicians do.
Proton moving to an EU country? That would be jumping from the frying pan into the fire. The EU already has legislation on the books that is worse than Switzerland, and they keep trying again and again to backdoor encrypted services.
I don’t know what Proton is thinking here, unless this is meant as a threat, to help wake people up to what Swiss politicians are proposing…
