Hot today. Back in Houston, so back in the swamp. Not many cool breezes wafting around. Of course it was 113F yesterday afternoon according to the thermometer that gets hit by late afternoon sun. Felt like it too.
When I stopped sweating, I drank more electrolyte replacement…
I did get some stuff done despite the heat. It just took longer, and involved more drinking of water with stuff in it.
I got the cell booster back together. I was able to figure out the spectrum analyzer and got the antenna aimed. Pretty much where I aimed it by eye and cell phone originally. I still don’t have LTE which I did have until one of the power outages. Dunno if the problem is me or ATT although I have it a mile away where I get good signal without a booster, so the tower and site is probably ok. I may poke at it more next visit. I’ve got other antennas to try both indoors and out, but I didn’t have the right adapters.
I mowed. I stacked more downed branches. I fixed the chimney “cap” to be better at keeping the rain out. It’s now plywood and black plastic, instead of just black plastic. Wife and D2 put most of the furniture back in the dockhouse. The walls will stay open for a while, but we still need to use the space, especially with guests coming for the 4th.
I didn’t get to the generator maintenance. It was too hot, and by the time I got ladders cleaned up and put away, and all the tools back in the garage, I didn’t have time. I did do a little sorting and putting away, as part of looking for stuff that I needed. Like goes with like…
Which is how I organize the stacks. It works for me, and I can find stuff I haven’t used in years, if I haven’t moved it too much. Cleaning and organizing always has some risks for me as I might remember the old place it lived for years, but forget the new “better” place it’s only been for a few months. Stacks are most useful when you can find the thing you stacked.
Even if you have to look for it, stacks are good.
Today will be finding the cause of the dead rat odor in the house (probably a dead rat) and doing some of the stuff that has been back-burnered by disaster recovery. I’ve got a lot of repair to do, auction stuff, pickups, kid “enrichment” activities, all the usual stuff.
And I feel the need to . . .
Stack!

Kid “enrichment”?
Send them to find and retrieve the dead rat…
The “universal custom” actually originated from some bean counter at the Admiralty in London, who realised that wear-and-tear, thus expenditure, on flags and ensigns could be halved if they were not flown during the hours of darkness. That was before the prevalence of outdoor artificial illumination.
Today is the day after the elections to the European Parliament. The biggest winners were the Christian democrats and what the leftist media tried to dismiss as the “far right” parties. The left also lost enormously in the Belgian federal elections. I am curious to see if the incoming centrist governments will roll back at least some of the socialist-green ideological excesses.
Peter Hyams. Unbelievable cast. The movie doesn’t get the credit that it deserves IMHO.
IIRC, Prince Charles and Lady Di toured the set on one of their tours of the US.
The other Hyams hard sci fi flick which deserves more attention from that same era is “Capricorn One”.
Watching the PG cut of that is actually preferable. As a kid, I knew the ‘R’ material was a gimmick inserted after principal photography ended.
And, yes, OJ’s first movie, but that is only one of many interesting casting stunts.
Hyams also made “Outland” and “The Presidio” with Sean Connery, the later co-starring a youngish Mark Harmon trying to shake the “St. Elsewhere” drug addict doctor typecasting.
And “Running Scared” … “Oh, no! Oh, I’m watching the new “Jeopardy!” and a man missed a Bible question because he did not know what Deuteronomy waaaas! “
Pay attention in “Running Scared” – Jimmy Smits first big role before “LA Law”.

The big issue – indeed, almost the only issue – that is driving this shift is immigration. Europe has allowed far too many uneducated, unemployable from fundamentally incompatible cultures to enter. Time and past time to close the borders and clean house. More importantly: stop the stream of migrants by making it known that they will be denied entry.
The Left Knows Leftism Doesn’t Work
It is arguably too late for Europe. The home team has the experience and an innate genetic talent for fighting brutal wars and committing genocide, but the visitors have youth and time on their side.
Right now, they’re just measuring for the drapes. The actual work of kill, convert, or extract tribute hasn’t gone much beyond the extracting tribute part.
If Europe is going to prevail, at this point, some Kampfs will indeed be necessary.
The EU tried hard over the last 30 years to not be the US.
I would drop “Resistance is futile”, but another line from “Star Trek” is more directly applicable.

Malicious VSCode extensions with millions of installs discovered
That’s setting aside the insane reliance on the NPM ecosystem for what is a mission critical application in many shops and a code base inherited from buying GitHub which I don’t think Microsoft completely understands.
I believe the restriction of Linux platforms which Redmond will support with VSCode moving forward is an attempt to triage and resolve problems in low level code from overseas with Coverity and other static analysis tools.
Yes, he is why there are dozens of used nuclear items sitting out on the ground at a closed nuclear electric generating facility about 50 miles from my house instead of be buried in the Yucca Mountain facility.
I like how you leave to the reader whether a 15 or 30 year mortgage is better. Of course, the answer is, “It depends.”
I too made a few spreadsheets to compare amortization and other related things. I have been fascinated with the time cost of money since my high school days. I had a CPA uncle who did well investing in real estate, and I took some of his advice. I also had a relative or two who worked in banking. One sold mortgages for profit. My conclusion, after a lot of personal thought, always came back to “It depends.” Not everything in life can be reduced to number crunching. Sleeping well is also important, and that means different things to different people.
For some of the reasons above, and others, I won’t take a stand on mortgage periods or early paydowns, etc. I WILL say the most common error I have found in advice on loan periods and paydowns is the failure to adjust amounts for time, at least somewhere in the calculation. An obvious example is to simply add up monthly payments for a loan. To be rigorous, each amount has to be adjusted to a single point in time using an inflation rate. But wait… That usually means predicting the future, which is tricky. For good advice on that, see Yogi Berra’s sayings.
One of my spreadsheets was used to decide when to retire. Changing retirement date would dramatically change the monthly pension income for rest of life. That was obvious, and there were lots of books and charts with numbers that offered guidance. Except for some vague advice, almost all of them failed to put in an adjustment for future cost of living expenses, so I did. That number had the single biggest effect on the result, even more than deciding on lifespan. You see my problem? That meant calculations were only a rough guide, with caveats.
My uncle told me to have lots of worth and future income before I could consider retiring. That seemed to work for him. So far, I am happy.
This is precisely the point that Josh over at Heritage Wealth makes over and over. If you don’t plan your expenses, you can’t plan your retirement.
However, he also references studies that show the average retiree spends LESS as the years go by. After you retire, you spend money establishing hobbies, traveling, and so forth, but most retirees will curb those activities and expenses as time goes by.
Which boils down to what you said: “rough guide, with caveats.”.
I started collecting Social Security a couple years ago, and I’m mostly living off of it. I dip into savings when I travel or buy a new gub or ham radio or vehicle. It helps a lot that the house I live in is paid off, but most advisors want you to be in that situation.
Yes, I also did a spreadsheet on when to retire. My results seemed to indicate that I should work until I reached 70 years of age. Maximize my social security and put more money in my 401K. It seemed like a really good plan. My financial advisor liked the plan.
Then my best friend of 29 years suddenly died. He was two months older than I and was a few months short of 65. That rocked my world, severely. He never got to retire and that impacted me. I decided then that to hell with spreadsheets, financial advisors, advice on the web, etc. I was retiring as quickly as possible after reaching 66. I wanted to be able to retire and do things that did not revolve around work.
Money was not going to be a big issue and I could work with what I would be getting. Between SS, VA and retirement from the bank I would be doing OK. The VA money really helps and made the decision easier. We have adjusted our life such that we could live on just SS alone if needed. Being debt free is the number one key component.
One of the biggest adjustments has been spending. I am a millionaire and then some in total assets with a lot of it easily converted to cash. For most of our lives we did not spend lavishly and really watched how we spent money. A lot of that was from the first few years of marriage when we were almost dirt poor. Changing those habits is difficult.
The big unknown is future healthcare costs going forward. I know that major issues could strip every penny that we have. At that point we go on Medicaid and live in a bed sharing a room with another person that can’t wipe their own ass. At that point in our lives we probably don’t care about having money to spend as it is not like we are going to take a trip to Alaska.
Most companies do not want me on the payroll now at 56. The fundamental issue since recovering my career is that anyone hiring me expects me to act like they did me a huge favor even though I inevitably end up with critical roles and make serious contributions.
The “favor” aspect isn’t as much a factor where I currently work, but it was definitely an issue at anyplace smaller, even CGI.
Management at the current job would prefer to have Subcontinent in my role so they wouldn’t have to sweat the chair going empty the moment they dish out a humiliation to put the subordinate in place like things work back home. My direct management knows better but his bosses not so much.
Still, I think I will be “encouraged to spend more time with family” once this AI monkey trick loses steam.
Coffee so good…

https://www.schiffsovereign.com/trends/the-left-233-years-of-failure-and-still-going-strong-151028/
“On the 1st of October 1791, the 755 freshly elected members of France’s brand-new Legislative Assembly took their seats for the first time in Paris’s famous Salle du Manege– an indoor horse-riding arena that had been converted into a giant meeting hall.”
“While there were numerous political parties in France at the time (and many of the members were independents), the legislators were ultimately divided into two ideological groups.”
“On one side were the Feuillants, who were in favor of a strong military, strong monarchy, strong economic production, and stable trade relationships with the rest of Europe.”
“On the other side, multiple groups formed a coalition that became known as the Montagnards. They advocated for the violent overthrow of the monarchy, price controls (punishable by death), export bans, prohibition of religion, rent forgiveness, and a constitutional right to public welfare.”
“When these two ideological sides first filed into the Salle du Manege in the autumn of 1791, the Feuillants sat on the right side of the hall… and the Montagnards sat on the left.”
“This is where the concept of the political ‘left’ vs. ‘right’ came from– the labels are based on where the two sides sat back in the early days of the French Revolution. And practically from the beginning, the Left burnished its reputation for destruction.”

“It Only Took Two Days for Dementia Joe’s Gaza Pier to Experience Another Major Setback”
https://thelibertydaily.com/it-only-took-two-days-dementia-joes-gaza/
“(DCNF)—The United Nations (UN) World Food Program (WFP) said Sunday it was suspending aid deliveries from the Biden administration’s floating pier in Gaza.”
“The WFP cited safety concerns on the ground in Gaza as the reason it was halting deliveries from the pier, the Associated Press reported. The pier had only been operational for roughly two days before the WFP announced its decision, after weather damage broke it apart and temporarily took it out of commission.”
““Right now we’re paused,” Cindy McCain, director of the WFP, told CBS on Sunday, according to the AP. “I’m concerned about the safety of our people after the incident yesterday. We also, two of our warehouses, the warehouse complex were rocketed yesterday.””
I wonder if anyone is verifying that these UN groups are bringing in food, not weapons ?
Hamas doesn’t seem to have any trouble getting weapons. They don’t need a pier to do that.

“Employees Don’t Want to Take PTO. They’re Quiet Vacationing Instead”
https://www.inc.com/ava-mandoli/employees-dont-take-pto-quiet-vacationing-instead.html
“A new survey indicates one in eight workers anticipates engaging in quiet vacationing this summer.”
Quiet vacationing. It is getting weird out there.
The point being that the UN FREQUENTLY smuggles weapons to Hamas in “aid” convoys, or stores weapons, or hostages, in UN-controlled spaces. No UN agency deserves ANY presumption of innocence or good will when it comes to Israel and their enemies. Every UN agency is an enemy of Israel, and has been since 1948.
My PTO is three weeks, which is kinda low for my experience and stress level compared to elsewhere.
The company rationalizes that they give a “dead” week between Christmas and New Years, but, since I’ve been working for them, my “dead” week isn’t dead unless I leave my laptop at home and go somewhere semi off the grid.
I also pulled Teams from my phone and turned off notifications from the Outlook app.
I’m not going to “quiet vacation” but, these days, a lot of people have rationalizations for why they don’t work when they “work” from home.
I took PTO on Friday to go to the comic show and an indie publisher event in Dallas this weekend.
I had fairly critical work due, but that was going to wait. I had plans and filed for the time a month ago.
I met the Soska Sisters, indie horror movie directors and comic book writers, at this event Saturday night. They signed my copy of their newest comic.

You keep talkin’ like that, and I will recommend you for a government job.
Nick, idle curiosity: How could you tell that you had a dead rat in the house, when you have two teenage girls, and especially two teenage girls’ bedrooms and a bathroom in the house? Uh, asking for a friend.
Jokes aside, The Child’s bedroom stinks. It’s not (just) the piles of dirty laundry and not (just) the plates and soda cans and overflowing garbage can. Even when I make her clean all that mess up, it still stinks. Ah, the joys of adolescence, but it smells worse than I remember the boys’ rooms smelling and the laundry and overflowing garbage cans and piles of dishes were about the same.
Hmm. Maybe there’s a dead rat under her bed. Guess I ought to check.
Just wondering out loud here. Are there rugs or carpets that may have trapped spills and got mold or mildew? Have you checked the closet for trash/garbage/bodies/moldering dirty clothes?
Be careful under that bed. No telling what you’ll find. I think there were Twilight Zone episodes like that.
My oldest son played ice hockey in high school. There’s no smell like a teenage boy’s hockey bag. I went into the locker room a few times and it was awesome, not in a good way.
Too bad that nobody makes spray cans of Febreze with locking nozzles like bug bombs. Trigger it, toss it in and close the door. But be sure to ventilate 30 minutes before re-entering that room.
I went to HEB today. Out of bread. There is still no store brand rye bread. Nor is there any Orowheat product. Rats, I wanted another loaf of their dark rye.

I bought a package of taquito size flour tortillas. A loaf of HEB Split Top Butter bread. It looked kind of small. About six slices of bread smaller. When did a loaf of bread become 1 pound and 4 ounces? I thought the standard was pound and a half.

Once an improperly cleaned fridge gets the stink into the works, it’s very difficult to get it out.
I had a 5 ft3 refrigerator in my dorm in college. Turned it off at the end of spring tem, cleaned it out, wiped it twice with bleach, let it dry, and put a 5lb bag of charcoal briquettes in it. Never had a problem.
Sounds like bleach and charcoal briquettes need to be added to the next cleanup. Replace all soft surfaces with glass and ceramic tile, just to be sure.

In my senior year of high school, I had an about six month period where my feet stunk to high heaven. About the time I started to get faint wisps of a mustache. New sneakers, clean socks, freshly scrubbed feet. I read a few years ago that happens to some guys as the hormones kick in.
I reckon it happens to girls, too.
My sisters had smelly days. Gag. Open the windows. I never connected it to rotting meat but that makes sense.
A dead emu smells different than a dead raccoon and a dead dog smells different too. Ditto for dead cow.
The dead dog, yeah, BamBam died under the house. Almost nine years old. I had to get the big 32 inch fan blowing air under the house so I could breathe. He was puffed up like he was nursing puppies. I got him into the wheelbarrow and toted him out to where I dumped raccoons.
I actually thought he was about to burst, he was seeping fluid, like sweat, on his belly. I should have buried him anyway. My bad. He was a smart dog. We had an electric fence to keep the cows out and the dogs in the yard.
BamBam just kept getting fatter and fatter. One day I saw him go under a fence into an emu pen… then under another fence out of the emu pens… to go eat the cat food. Then reverse the trip, circle around to go under the house and pop out like “hi, what’s up?”. Nah, can’t get mad at that even for a moment. Smart dog.
I hope the bread is good. The last loaf of Mrs. Bairds we bought was when we did a brisket. Because that’s what the BBQ places have for bread.
Tasted like plastic. Most of the loaf went to the chickens.
I’m once again spoiled by access to smart and knowledgeable people, as I was for the much of my career.
I hang out at lunch most Wednesdays with ham radio operators, and one of the occasional participants is the local club antenna guru. He’s got multiple editions of the ARRL Antenna Handbook, and he actually understands what it says. He writes a column for the newsletter, usually addressing antenna theory.
I’m learning a lot at these lunches. Last week it was the difference between analyzing standing wave and traveling wave antennas.
Tonight I went to a different monthly meeting of a different radio club. The presentation was on HF antennas, and was mostly a very basic overview.
The information was haphazard, used non-standard nomenclature, and much of it was plain wrong. Like, mixing up impedance and resistance wrong. And the “loop dipole” antenna. Spoiler: That’s not a thing.
The questions from the members showed that there was a high level of interest. And not a high level of knowledge.

Some of today’s comments stink!!
An old remedy is moth crystals or moth balls. They might be different chemicals: naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene, and I don’t know which works better for odor control. I have used both successfully for some bad odors, but did worry about toxicity in living spaces and attack on various plastics and other materials. Use carefully.
I don’t know if the above is more or less effective than newer odor control chemicals, or ozone. Ozone has its own set of toxic risks, and will attack rubber and probably some plastics.
