Hot and humid. Really. Not kidding. If it’s not raining. Which it might be. Because it’s all guessing. We got a few fat drops around dinner time last night, but that was it. Hot and humid the rest of the day.
Spent most of the day driving back and forth for the kids. I did sneak one trip across town to do two pickups in in the mid afternoon. And when I got back I started working on some stuff for my hobby meeting, instead of picking up the house… The project involves sewing so I had to get that stuff out and set up. Which added to the clutter when W got home. Not a happy evening.
Today the cleaning crew comes so someone thinks the house should be cleaned FIRST. Not gonna happen, that sort of thing is crazy mom and crazy childhood. Stuff does need to be put away, and the floors should be clear, but that’s as far as I’ll go.
I’ve also got to run the kid back and forth to more sportsball stuff. I’m not getting anything done in the morning, and probably little in the afternoon either.
Maybe I’ll work outside. Hmm.
Stack something. Anything useful. And then stack some more.

An electrician is replacing the hanging lamps in the kitchen and dining room. The old ones were once really nice lamps, but they use compact florescent bulbs with weird sockets, and the bulbs are no longer available. The manufacturer has plug-in LED replacements, but they flicker, and also only emit light from one side. So no choice – we have to replace the lamps.
We looked a long time for replacements that look nice, that are dimmable, come in the sizes we want, etc. The electrician showed us a bunch of stuff from his catalogs as well. You can get lights for $100 bucks, but they either look crappy, or they aren’t dimmable, or they don’t come in the sizes we want, or… In the end, to get nice looking lights that do what we want? Including installation, we’ll be paying somewhere between $4k and $5k.
Brad, ouch! However, the kitchen is the heart of the home, so the lighting has got to be right. It always drives me nuts when I am in kitchens where I can’t see what I’m doing.
Nick. I am with you on the not cleaning for the cleaners, but Mrs Denis would be on Mrs Nick’s side of that debate. We have to love them, not understand them…
Whenever I get the evil eye because of hobby items “cluttering” the living space, I just drop a mention (in extreme cases, a photo) of my brother’s motorbike into the conversation, which shuts the discussion down right quick. He keeps it in the living room!
Texas Children’s was definitely providing “gender affirming” care.
https://www.fox7austin.com/news/paxton-announces-second-investigation-into-texas-hospital-over-youth-transgender-healthcare
I suspect that the new facilities which both Texas Children’s and that other pediatric hospital (cough) built near my house were intended to provide the surgical procedures in a nice, quiet environment out of the spotlight until the “Republicans” in Austin found a social issue which they could exploit as cover while they gave away the surplus to the local governments and schools last year.
Whatever the motivations, Abbott signing the bill probably prevented a lot of mentally ill people from ruining kids lives.
Of course, Texas Children’s doesn’t just dabble in pediatric transgender activism, but providing the surgeries would have filled a lot of soup bowls and enabled people like this putz to continue their antics.
https://www.cbc.ca/radio/whitecoat/peter-hotez-anti-science-rise-1.6960484
Whatever was going to take place at the hospitals, there sure are a lot of fancy new apartments and high end restaurant infrastructure which got built surrounding both complexes.
*Something* potentially lucrative was happening … until it wasn’t.
And, as I’ve noted before, North Austin wasn’t the only place I’ve seen where a new children’s hospital get built in Texas in a place where the demographics didn’t make sense. Brownsville has a new complex which went up at around the same time and at a similar pace to the buildings near me in the last couple of years.
I forget the name, but it is probably in the Googles.
Mult-hundred million dollar hospital … just down the freeway from Brownsville’s shiny new Ollies.
The moment I type the name, I gotta use disclaimers.
Texas was definitely targeted by hospital chains all over the country looking to fill soup bowls providing gender “affirmation” care.
The Issaquah Plateau has a Swedish hospital which most people don’t know exists if they don’t live there. The building was half empty when I lived across the street, but I imagine that the C-suite has put it to good use in the last few years.
Nice, quiet, out of the spotlight, with easy access to transportation …
https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/medical-provider-agrees-withdraw-texas-instead-complying-investigation-gender-transition-treatments
Things that make you say “Hmmm…”: Microsoft developed the Plateau and owned most of the land which serves as the commercial district for the Highlands development nearby. Issaquah was supposed to be Campus 2.0 if the company had been split 25 years ago.
What is the significance?
Ollie’s isn’t high end, but it is where Disney unloads its unsold toys.
I was in the Kileen’s Ollie’s last Christmas and noted that they still had “Tomorrowland” toys on the shelf along with a solid cross section of “Star Wars” and “MCU”.
Why does a children’s hospital need to be almost hidden?
Drive into Memphis, and it isn’t any secret that St. Jude’s is there. Of course, St. Judes doesn’t do “affirmation” care … at least, not that I’m aware of; I could be wrong.
That was always a noveaux rich (middle class, really) Irish thing when I was growing up. Clean the house before the maid arrives.

D1 brought a friend from school over for lunch between sportsball tryouts yesterday. The girl was amazed we had a butter dish. And had never seen a pepper or salt grinder.
She’s working hard as a lifeguard to pay for her own orthodontia, and so that she and her sisters can move out of the mom’s apartment together. Mom and boyfriend are useless.
D1 is learning that “it’s a different world, than where you come from.”
Which is kinda the point.

Alex Pournelle posted this on FB today:
Regarding searches here that will include comments – there are plugins available with the functionality to index comments, but they are not free. Annual cost is $100+. Don’t think that annual cost is something to do here.
In addition, adding a more complex/complete search function would at least triple the size of the wp_posts database table (it contains the posts and comments). Which already is quite big due to the number of comments per day. The number of comments here is approaching 235,000 (will probably hit that count later today). That makes for a very large data table which slows down response time of showing a post with it’s comments. Indexing that size of data table would take a while; with continual updates/indexing needed.
The current response time is acceptable here with that size of the data table because we don’t have a high volume of regular visitors. Tripling the size of the data tables here would reduce response time. It might also make the hosting place mad – they might require a higher cost data plan here.
The site is indexed by the main search engines, but they don’t update search results often, so ‘miss’ a bunch of results.
So, search here is about as effective as it gets.

I do have to admit that the solar power farms in Texas are nicely complementing the daily drop of the wind turbines during the day.
https://www.ercot.com/gridmktinfo/dashboards/combinedwindandsolar
There is still a serious problem at 6pm when the solar power starts dropping precipitously. A lot of gas turbine peakers are being started to make up for that deficit every day.
The company stock continued sliding today, and the managers are supposed to be on a call early tomorrow morning.
Maybe we’ll find out if the AI monkey trick is out of gas soon.

You joke but that is happening also. Texas now has 7,990 MW of battery power. I am not sure how many hours that it can operate at full power but I know that it is between 1 hour and 4 hours.

https://www.ogj.com/general-interest/government/article/55131485/texas-lng-latest-project-to-see-ferc-approval-scrapped-by-federal-appeals-court
“The 4-million tpy LNG plant under development in Texas is the latest project approved by the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to see its certificate scrapped.”
“In both cases, the court ruled that FERC failed to meet its obligations under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) when it reissued the Texas LNG and Rio Grande LNG certificates without undertaking a supplemental environmental review to address environmental justice and air quality issues identified by the court’s prior remand. “Given the nature and severity of the flaws in the Commission’s second effort to properly assess the projects, we vacate the reauthorization orders and remand to the Commission for further consideration,” Judge Brad Garcia wrote for the three-judge panel.”
This is the kind of crap that all new chemical or energy projects have to go though now in the USA. The cost is horrendous.
Correct, Lithium is for PORTABLE devices, but we’re thinking of fixes stationary devices. ANY sort of power storage mechanism would work.

I knew all this going in, but since the Dems/Commies feared the NRA, I supported them.
At the time, I belonged to a local NRA affiliated gun club, and they were run by Fudd shotgunners. Don’t rock the boat, make sure the legislators protect our shotguns and hunting rifles, and don’t give a fig for those 2A people who want to carry guns in public or own “military” guns.

“Armed Migrant Gangs Stalk UK While Government Cracks Down On Native Brits”
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/uk-government-ignores-armed-migrant-gangs-while-cracking-down-british-protesters
“It’s a story we’ve seen before. In the US and Europe during the pandemic lockdowns, far-left rioting and looting in the name of BLM was widely celebrated by the corporate media and protected by government officials. The lockdown mandates were not enforced when it came to progressive unrest. Conservative anti-mandate protesters, on the other hand, were treated as terrorists and governments were quick to censor, suppress and intimidate. A two tier policing system and legal system bubbled to the surface.”
“Wherever conservative, nationalist or “right wing” protests arise in the west the full force of government power is applied to frighten the public into compliance. It might be to enforce covid mandates or it might be to prevent the populace from questioning open border policies. In the UK The mask has truly come off. The message? You will accept mass immigration from the third world, or else…”
“UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s recent announcement on the government response to British protests are highly revealing. To summarize, indigenous and “right wing” Brits are not allowed to take to the streets (or online) because their ideology is “wrong.” Armed Muslim migrant gangs and leftists are apparently free to do whatever they please.”
There will not always be an England.
Comment seen elsewhere:
“Britain right now reminds me of Northern Ireland in 1968 and 1969 when the protests got going. It just takes one more misjudgement by the Labour Government and things will switch to 1970, the start of the Troubles, but on a far greater scale.”

“The contingency plan involves the invocation of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, also known as the “Insurrection Clause,” which disqualifies former government officials from holding office if they engaged in an “insurrection” after taking an oath to support the Constitution.”

The tampons in boy’s restrooms would have been a HOOT when I was in high school. Two sisters and mom, all synced. Use one, take two. Hide in various places and then when the box sitting on toilet tank was empty, they would ransack each other’s dresser drawers looking for a supply.
Next thing you know, they are out and arguing who is going to the grocery store a mile and half away to buy more. It wasn’t the money, it was “going to the store”.
I helped. I’d snag one once in a while and stash it in a weird place. Like in the back of the silverware drawer or in a cook pot in the cupboard. You’d think they had found gold.
Dad clued in and sorta said “you aren’t helping” and I said “they are already crazy and they are making us guys crazy”. Oh.
Anyway. Tampons in the boy’s room. I’d snag them by the pockets full. Although I’m sure they would be the wrong brand. Because OF COURSE they would be the wrong brand. But there would be LOTS of tampons at home. Dresser drawers full.

Last night’s movie was Bruce Almighty. A Jim Carry movie. I liked it.

I missed a lot of movies from the 80’s. I had things to do. 4 to 11 shifts six days a week, well, you miss TV and going to movies. Then moved out here in ‘93 and ain’t got no cable TV.

Keep an eye out for “Summer School”. A run of DVDs happened in the last decade or so, before Carl Reiner passed.
Reiner and male lead Mark Harmon do comnentary depending on the age of the release.
”Summer School” saved the careers of both leads, Harmon and Kirstie Alley, and is a mostly harmless comedy.
Kirstie Alley foolishly walked away from “Star Trek“ to do what she thought was a serious Gloria Steinem bio pic.
Alley ended up in “A Bunny’s Tale” and dropped off the map for a while afterwards.
I also have that flick around somewhere. Wanna see Delta Burke looking hot?

No longer. SpaceX identified the problem with the 2nd stage booster, fixed it, and has launched 2 or 3 since the FAA cleared it. And the Dragon capsules don’t rely on second burn for the 2nd stage anyway, so it wouldn’t have been affected. LOTS of telemetry on EVERYTHING makes it easy to diagnose problems even without the failed hardware to work with.

I was informed by my mechanic that modern vehicles, at least from my 2014 cowboy Cadillac going forward, store 45 seconds of engine and vehicle information when a check engine light comes on. He said it makes it much easier to diagnose a problem. And to never go to Autozone, etc. and have the check engine light cleared if the person is planning to have the vehicle fixed.
He also said there is about 10 seconds of data stored when a crash occurs. Throttle position, brake position, speed, wheel speed, seat belts, etc. That information can, and will, be obtained, by court order if necessary, by insurance company that has to pay for an accident. If the speed limit is 45, and the stored data says 48, insurance will find the individual partially at fault even if the police say the other driver was 100% at fault. The other individual’s insurance company is the entity that will extract the data.

False claims so far:
Walz continued claim of rank he didn’t retire with
Walz claimed 25 years in the military–it was 24 (a useless exaggeration)
Walz claim of carrying “weapons of war, that I carried in war”
Walz claiming in 2006 (unchallenged at the time, and uninvestigated by the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the left-wing shill of the Twin Cities) that he was an Iraq war veteran
And doubtless more to come.
The “pride goeth before a fall” is not the likely failure of the Harris-Walz ticket, even though Timmy is looking kind of albatross-y after one day. The really interesting part is going to be when Walz has to make the decision about running for a third term. The publicity he is getting for his lies about his military service is going to make it impossible to run away from those lies, even with the help of the uber-Dem-friendly Minnesota press.

So far the Dems have been unwilling to try to defend this shiite, and odds are being computed on whether he makes it to the convention, only 12 days away.

btw, more examples of Walz’ “Running Away Strategy” are coming out. Seems he got drubbed by his opponent in the first debate of the 2022 Mn Governor’s race, so he simply refused to show up for the rest of the debates. Let’s see if he can run away this time. I’m going to predict that he does–he quits before he has to debate JD Vance, so that the video is not available for his opponent in the next fovernor’s race.
