Hot and humid. It’s the season! There was a beautiful cool breeze off the lake yesterday and it was very nice in the shade. For the limited time I was in the shade. The rest was as hot as Satan’s scrotum.
I did general cleanup and details before cutting the grass and heading home. I stopped to pick up stuff on the way. Got some stuff out of storage. Went to Lowe’s. Had to clean and organize the entire fitting section to find the electrical parts I needed, and they were out of stock on one item. Took WAY longer than it should have to shop. But I got everything on my list and should be able to get the plumbing and electrical stuff done without needing another trip.
So I’m headed back up to the BOL as soon as I get all my stuff together. I still need to pull a few things out of the garage, like the actual wire I’m using for the new circuits. I found that the problems were even more dangerous and absurd with the dock and the dockhouse yesterday when I opened the panel and really looked. NO breakers for the dockhouse, just live conductors. I live a charmed life, that it was broken when I thought it was safely off.
Once it’s bad enough that it’s all coming out, is it really necessary to look at all the ways it’s bad?
My wallet is over $1000 lighter, but one more safety issue will be out of the way. Good thing I was prodded into doing the fix. I just don’t like to have things jump to the front of the line in this particular way.
I was able to pull a bunch of stuff out of stock (and stacks.) But I’ve never used the pvc conduit before so I had to buy all of that. Well, three sticks of 1″ I pulled from stacks, because I’d picked them up from outside another business – hey one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. $30 in conduit? I was pretty sure I’d use it eventually.
So stack stuff you think you might need. Stack stuff that is useful and cheap or free but could cost more later. Stack stuff…

All kidding aside, massive doses of Adderall to keep him upright would explain much with Biden.
It seems like everyone is on that stuff around here.
South Carolina is the price the Dems have to pay for support of Biden by the race hustlers. Lots of churches will get new roofs and everyone will see a little walkin’ ’round money.
I’m seriously beginning to look forward to retirement. In retrospect, I made a wrong decision a few years ago. I was teaching both in the engineering college and in the business college, although the business college officially employs me. I had the chance to change fully to the engineering college. Should have done it.
In the business college, the number of students who actually enjoy programming is…small., even though our specific degree program is semi-technical. Why you pick a technical degree when you don’t like technical stuff? I guess because they all figure to earn the big bucks. Anyway, grading the current exams is just depressing: most are just nonsense. I’m going to be failing half the class again. Eventually being the “bad guy” gets tiresome.
In other news, a neighbor is renting an excavator to install a water pipe. I’m heading off with him in an hour or so to pick it up. So the weekend promises to be interesting. And less hot than what Nick has to suffer through 🙂
>> I bought myself a bunch of new books for my birthday. The wife noticed but did not make any snide remarks. My SBR bookshelf is full and has overflowed onto my nightstand with about 50 books on it.
50 books on your nightstand? Well, you guys do claim everything’s bigger in TX.
Only 50? Pffft!

In the US, Computer Science in most universities at the undergrad level as accredited by ACM has been watered down over the last decade to increase participation in STEM by “under represented” demographic groups. Cheating is off the charts, and the departments are generally inclined to look the other way.
Six years ago, at the inflection point where I had to make a decision, I decided to pass on a PhD and teaching moving forward. With the exception of the time ending in involuntary termination at the tolling company – by a management chain on so much Adderall that my manager’s manager’s hands shook non-stop – cough – I haven’t regretted the decision. However, even at the current job, work in the field drifts into being boring after a while.
I did have a bad management situation developing at this time last year at the current job, not related to Adderall (I think), but HR stepped in real fast to squelch the problem, even before I thought about taking the problem down to that office.
Apparently, I wasn’t the only one with an issue with management.
On a related subject to education, the Supreme Court announced that today is the last of the term and the remaining decisions will be published before the close of the business day, including the decision about student loans.
“All kidding aside, massive doses of Adderall to keep him upright would explain much with Biden.”
They need to add some leg irons to keep him from wandering off.
We have some of that, but a lot less than in the US. The bigget problem is the unending focus of the administration on student numbers. Quantity over quality, short-term thinking for the win!
The loan repayment scheme as justified by the HEROES act is dead. Another $1 Trillion dollars won’t have to roll off the presses in the Eccles Building this weekend.
Thankfully, I was wrong in my belief that Comey-Barrett would join the liberals. Hermione Granger wrote the dissent, which is the Liberals’ best hope for a roadmap for either a later reversal or providing hints about a scheme which would pass the court review since Roberts wrote for the majority.
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/22-506_nmip.pdf
I wonder how many times the Marshalls had to take Kagan out back for a smoke break following that vote after arguments and the writing assignment handed out. That is, if I’m wrong about Comey-Barrett siding with the liberals since the Justices could change their minds/votes up until publication.
The Justices were unanimous in the other case regarding the student loan repayment scheme, which probably made Comey-Barrett feel that her “standing” concerns were given fair consideration in the opinion, written by Alito.
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/22-535_i3kn.pdf
Kinda disturbing if you think about the long term in light of that decision, but the other case was a big win for common sense.
Fools, drunks, and the United States of America …
That, and it’s physically easy work performed in an air-conditioned office or from home.
Right after I finished getting my MS I signed up for a PhD program. Like Greg, I came to my senses. I don’t want to teach – mentor, yes; limited classes on specific topics, yes; help kids once in a while, yes; tech a regular class, oh hell no – and don’t have plans to do research requiring government grants. I’m able to learn and research on my own. Ergo, a PhD has no value to me.
RIP.
I wonder who the next two will be.
The entertainment reporters on the Interwebz need to pay attention to details in their stories since a mass culling of their ranks is coming. Arkin worked with Mariette Hartley in “Improper Channels”. The flick ran endlessly on HBO in the afternoons in the mid-80s. I think I caught every showing.

Looks like the snot nosed little brats are going to have to pay back their student loans. Welcome to adulthood. Where signing a document is legally binding and money borrowed must be paid back.
And my refusal many years back to photograph a gay wedding is now legally protected. I did not want to do the job because of beliefs, but because I did not feel I would do a proper job as I don’t fully understand queers.
Uh, guess again Persis. The established rule of law is that if a person signs a document pledging to repay a loan, that is legally binding, it is the established rule of law. Persis Yu, you are an idiot.

SCOTUS is on a roll getting rid of useless ProgLibTurd “laws”. If only the Redumblicans can get their act together for 2024. But, that will require a spine being inserted into their worthless carcasses.
I wonder what plugsy McSpongeBrain The Last big news conference will be about. Probably how SCOTUS conservatives are a bunch of racissist mofo’s and should be impeached. Or a call to pack the court. He might even encourage protesting outside of their homes. Violence allowed.
The standing to bring the student loan case hinged on finding actual monetary damages to an entity of the State of Missouri.
Taxpayers have no standing, and are dependent on the U.S. Congress to defend the spending authority that is their exclusive prerogative according to the constitution.
Bullshit. We either have a constitution or not, and the citizens have the right to expect that the three branches of government will do the jobs they are cashing paychecks to do.
Either get that checks and balances thing going or recognize that fed up citizens will elect not to send polite notes to the Times.
Go back and find my post from earlier today. The other decision regarding the student loans was unanimous that individuals who previously paid the loans have no standing even if Biden was wrong to justify the $400 Billion (ha!) with the language of the HEROES act.
Roberts threaded the needle fine enough that there may be a roadmap to reversal in the states’ case, but Comey-Barrett probably realized the majority opinion needed support after hopping on board and submitted a concurring piece of her own which uses an analogy which is … interesting … to support Roberts assertion that the Secretary overstepped bounds with $400 Billion.
I haven’t had time to read all of the text carefully. Kagan doesn’t provide the roadmap to having the decision overturned as much as points out the weakness in the majority arguments rationalizing the decision.
I think that, in the end, as with the jab mandate, Roberts saw the magnitude of the real dollar amount of the cost to the economy and didn’t want that to be part of his legacy. He then went on a hunting expedition into the states numbers to find that one entity which was going to be harmed legitimately by the loans being forgiven rather than paid.
“Pack the Court”!
Not that it will actually happen absent a Jesus Candidate with the kind of majority the Dems had in 2009 before Uncle Ted assumed room temperature.
LOL, plugs is getting shat on left and right:
Biden administration failed to plan and respond to the rapid collapse of Afghanistan during chaotic withdrawal of troops, damning internal State Department report finds.

@Greg
I read your earlier post. Not sure what you are saying that is different.
What I should have said—explicitly—was that “standing” as used by the courts to reduce their workload, is not a concept consistent with their duty to interpret the law.
SCOTUS is on a roll getting rid of useless ProgLibTurd “laws”. If only the Redumblicans can get their act together for 2024. But, that will require a spine being inserted into their worthless carcasses.

“The Supreme Court will hear oral argument next fall in a major gun-rights case challenging the constitutionality of a federal ban on the possession of guns by individuals who are subject to domestic violence restraining orders. The Biden administration had asked the justices to weigh in after a federal appeals court struck down the ban earlier this year, and on Friday the justices agreed to do so.”
I think that that SCOTUS should affirm the lower court here. But no telling what will happen. This is why I think that SCOTUS should affirm the lower court.

What a story, but I’m not surprised. I’ve observed several hearings/trials where the judge treats anybody he/she/it doesn’t like, like trash. I’m surprised the attorney couldn’t do more to recuse that judge right away. Obviously taking justice into their own hands, cops can be really bad apples.
I read the other case quickly, but I believe that was the entire Court throwing individual standing under the bus which is disturbing.
“Going Home: A Novel (The Survivalist Series)” by Angery American
https://www.amazon.com/Going-Home-Novel-Survivalist-American/dp/0142181277?tag=ttgnet-20/
Book number one of an eleven book apocalyptic fantasy series. I reread the well printed and well bound trade paperback published by Plume (Penguin) in 2013 that I bought new on Amazon. This is about the fifth or sixth time that I have read this book. I have purchased and read all of the first ten books in the series. I have also purchased the eleventh book in the series too. However, these apocalypse books seem to auger in after a while.
The author has a prepper guy walking home from Tallahassee to Orlando in Florida after a USA wide EMP event. He travels mostly by foot over 250+ miles with a 60 pound backpack of goodies that he had in his car (food, water, cheap night vision goggles, sleeping bag, poncho, tarp, small stove, two guns and ammo). A couple of other people join him for part of the journey home.
He uses his SweetWater filter to get drinkable water for him and his companions since he only started his trip with two gallons of water and a half dozen MREs. Basically, the author feels that a lot of people will lose their inhibitions when all the conveniences of modern society go away as the prepper dude has to kill three people in the first 50 miles.
The author has a website where people talk about his book and prepping in general. Lots of discussions about what to take on the road with you if you have to walk home from somewhere.

Alternative option.
Didn’t Bryer write the dissent in the overturn of Roe v. Wade?
The Liberals needed him in the Roe seat as long as possible last year.
Bryer was the last of the Liberals who could write at that level, a tenured law professor IIRC. Maybe Hermione Granger would have stepped up, but not for a decision on a case that big.
Kagan will have to step up now and prove she actually is the smartest person in the room or it will be a very long Court session for the Dems next year, adjourning right before the final 2024 campaigns begin in September.
Cr*p. I have to fly to Nashville next Saturday to pick up a car and drive it back.
If Southwest goes dark, I gotta take the wife up with me on a Cannonball Run to get the chore done in a weekend. Two days of constant driving during daylight.
My big gripe about this job is the vacation time for my experience level and general stress involved.
Now that SWA has absorbed Airtran, TPA Spanx gate and all, I wonder if they are the new Death Star preferred airline. John Stankey must have been in the room with Steve Jobs, Ed Whitacre, and Randall Stevenson when they planned the crushing of the CWA in 2009.
Another possibility is that the Justices feared the changes which would happen in the cafeteria when Jackson took over for Amy Comey-Barrett on menu planning, one of the traditional duties of the newest Justice.
Jackson’s husband is a surgeon. No more Taco Tusdays at The Court, and the fish would be the only meat option on Friday other than a soy burger.
@Greg
“I read the other case quickly, but I believe that was the entire Court throwing individual standing under the bus which is disturbing.”
Standing is a house of cards built on sand and ignores “We the people”. I understand that SCOTUS needs a filter on their inbox, but since it is people that pay taxes and are the source of the income, $400 billion in spending improperly originating from the executive is far above any reasonable threshold to allow citizens to object in court.
Note this:
According to the Congressional Research Service, since the Constitution was written,[3]

Woke at 4 am, couldn’t get back to sleep. Worked, good stuff, clocked out early so could jump back in for an after hours database migration to MS SQL high availability group. Not my forte – fortunately my senior DBA is super intelligent, knows all the stuff, shares his knowledge and is humble to boot.
Put three rabbits in the freezer, mowed the lawn, took care of the animals, made dinner, and logged back into work.
The “should only take 30-60 minutes” migration has encountered some odd permissions related problems and turned into an odyssey. I pulled my senior DBA in because I was over my head and in the weeds.
Listening while he works out the problems. Wahoo he’s good and explains as he goes. I truly don’t deserve such good coworkers -grin-
Looks like I did the correct things and followed the correct trouble shooting steps. Some new problems related to 2022.

In other news, replaced husbands vehicle with similar generation but many fewer miles and better safety features. I think I mentioned we also bought an older ALiner for camping fun with the kiddo.

Funstuff.
oh, and Grosse Point Blank is a favorite movie of ours. Really well done.
And rolled back the migration. Turns out there was additionally an overlooked compatibility issue. DBAs didn’t have access to the compatibility issue information as it was behind a password on vendors site. We’d previously asked the devops guy about the SQL version and he ok’d it.
