Cool. Maybe even staying cool. Yesterday never made it out of the 70s at my house. It was nice. Of course, I was inside, but it was still nice. I wouldn’t mind more of the same today. Mid 70s F… sunny and clear.
I wasn’t feeling top notch, and D1 stayed home sick, so morning was quiet and involved some extra sleep. Then I started on some repair projects, one on the stuff I drove to Austin to pickup, as that payoff should be a few grand, and the top one on the pile, since I had the soldering and desoldering stuff out…
I changed a USBa port on the auction stuff, and changed out a failed voltage regulator on a Goodwill pickup- a modern and fairly inexpensive Fender guitar amp and speaker. Dinner interrupted before I could test my fixes, so that will be today. While the soldering stuff is out, I’ll see if I can crank out another repair or two. Then there is all the attic and outdoor stuff to get to.
I did some research on attic insulation vacuums. I won some bags in an auction, now I need to find either a rental place, or a contractor, to suck out all the failed blown in insulation in my attic. That project has been delayed for a couple of years and needs to move forward. Rats and heat were the main reasons not to. Heat’s gone, and the rat battle is never-ending. The new insulation is sitting in the attic. Time to move that forward, at least a bit. Having a contractor do it would be best, if the price was right and if they’ll work with me on the amount of crep that is up there in the way. I really just need to redo the main part of the attic. The parts that were never disturbed by remodeling or use are fine. Well, as fine as they ever were, which is pretty NOT fine by modern standards. Not something I’m eager to spend time and money on, but something needs to be done.
Oh, and today is Thursday, which means a several hours of ferrying kids around. Starting with orthodontia and the school run this morning.

Someone decided to end it all by throwing themselves in front of a train. Which blocked a main track. After a lot of waiting, the train I was on had to go back to the previous station, where we waited for another train to pick us up and take us on a tour of the countryside, to get around the blockage. Fortunately, I always leave very early, to have some working time at the school before my lectures, so being late wasn’t a big deal.
Unfortunately, this form of suicide isn’t uncommon. I suppose it’s a more certain exit than, say, jumping off a bridge over a highway. I feel for people that have reached that deep a depression. Feeling so lost, and so certain that no one can help you – oof. I can only wish and hope that, for every suicide, many others do reach out in time.
Florida came very close to going the other way in 2018. The press still pines for this hot mess.

Our German friends complain about the same thing happening in Germany. They are generally pissed at DB anyway and this just adds to dissatisfaction.
Several years ago when I was in Atlanta there was a guy threatening to jump off a bridge over I-75, a major route. Of course, the police closed the interstate both ways and traffic was a nightmare. Trying to go around on I-285 was long, slow and frustrating. The almost universal comment from everyone was for the police to just push the guy off the bridge, hose the interstate off with a fire truck, and get traffic moving.
There was zero sympathy or compassion for the possible jumper. I felt the same way. If you want to die, it is your right. Just don’t mess with everyone else’s rights. Do it in a way that causes the least commotion. And really don’t create a traffic mess that adversely impacts tens of thousands of people.
Spongey just gave away another $4.5 billion of taxpayers money to forgive public service workers student loans. People who do not understand that a loan is a commitment. People who will now go out and borrow more money because they think the loan is free and will put themselves into more debt.
Here’s the biggest issue. That is my money that Spongey is giving away. I did not cosign on any of those loans yet my tax dollars are now being used to erase those loans.
And if a person is a public service worker that expensive college degree did not really do anything for their career. Almost all public service workers only need a high school education. Some jock driving a fire truck does not need a higher education.
Yup, tRump should end these EO giveaways immediately. Then use the much vaunted Swat Team at the Dept. of Education to go collect on those loans. Don’t have the money, take away all their stuff. Don’t have any stuff, off to prison you go. You can pay back your loan with your meager prison earnings.
The Administration is trying to paper over the problems in the existing public service student loan repayment scheme, where over 97% are ultimately rejected but not before wasting significant amounts of time and money attempting to qualify.
Dave Ramsey is the target of the politics. He’s relentless with callers who believe in the scheme, and he seems to be putting more on the air lately.
Well, y’all may be a bit harsh. I think a lot of students, at 18, are just too immature to understand the consequences of getting huge student loans. If they funded your degree in underwater basket-weaving, and you cannot find a job in the field, then the university can be taken to court and made liable for your loan. I don’t know the details, but the option is there, and it needs to be used a lot more.
For the future, eliminate the federal guarantee. Anyone can take out a private loan from a bank, as long as they convince the bank they will pay the loan back. That would pretty much eliminate student loans. It would cause an immediate drop in tuition costs, back to something normal people can pay. If universities could do it 30 years ago, they can do it today.
However, more and more, I’m wondering what education will look like in the future. With computers, with the Internet, with the possibility of high quality remote instruction, and now with AI in the game? Good, motivated students don’t need to come to a campus. They need a planned program to follow, and they need a human to serve as mentor and to help them with difficult concepts and questions. The day-to-day stuff can be videos, self-study, and an AI for the easy questions.
The problem – and I see this everyday in my classes – is motivation. Today I taught the “weeder” course in first semester programming. One student asked how many people will pass, and I said “about half”. He was shocked. Of course, he also left early, without asking any questions. Gee, I wonder which half he will be in?
In-person instruction can help with motivation. So can being part of a group taking the same physical course. Take away the in-person part, take away the group, and a lot (more) kids are going to sink. I don’t know the answer to that. On the other hand, I see my kids building social lives on the net, in ways I cannot quite grasp. One, despite being an introvert, has made numerous friends in other countries, to the point that they fly to visit each other IRL. So maybe the group can become virtual.
This rambling stream of consciousness brought to you free of charge – worth every penny you paid for it. 😛

I got these last year when the A/C condensate line overflowed when we were gone. After cleanup and flushing the drain, I placed the sensor by the drain, ran the cord out to the door knob of the closet the unit is in, and tied it around the knob. Yesterday, I got a phone alert “water detected”. Yup, overflowing, and, I just had a semi-annual checkup and clean out. Rather than calling the AC service, I hooked up my shop vac to the outside line, and pumped about 5 gallons of mild chlorox water down the line. Followed up with a half gallon of vinegar. Lots of algae water came out.

That thing was over a grand. My realtor says leaving a ”hole” might be distracting. Tough potatoes, a buyer can get their own.
After mastery of reading, long division, fractions and decimals most so called education is glorified babysitting. Since that is the latter half of an education career it should be no surprise that students are motivated and trained to just slide by. Education as an institution seems to be designed as a short person’s prison until “graduation” unleashes ’em into the real world or university.
The Federal guaranteed student loan program was nationalized in 2010 as part of passing Obamacare under Reconciliation. The Treasury issues the paper from the Fed’s printing press and the payments from the borrowers are an increasingly valuable source of revenue for the US government.
Borrower Defense is the mechanism in the Federal student loan programs. Most universities have programs which would not withstand the scrutiny, and many institutions’ reputations would be damaged if pursuing that route became popular among the graduates.

Luanne Platter is a character on “King of the Hill”.
The Lucy’s-owned Fuddruckers near our house sat for a couple of years, but the building recently reopened as a Shogun, another Houston-based chain.
The Luby’s nearby closed almost a decade ago. The building became a used car lot office for the nearby Dodge dealer, but now that the car company is circling the drain, the building hosts a close out appliance store.
The tank crew were out there killing terrorists, he was a terrorist out there, so more of a “preparation meets opportunity” scenario than mistake.

And they did.

An ultrasound and two CT scans later, plus three surgical procedures, and I thought it was healed. Unfortunately, that’s proved to be a pipe dream. A few weeks ago I began to get renewed pain in my kidney, and my waterworks began to dry up. I was fed up by then with the lack of communication from the local urologist who’d done the work, so I asked my primary care physician to refer me to a top-level specialist at a major medical center, who could analyze what’s going on and (hopefully) come up with a solution.”

“A commentary at Twitchy added, “She didn’t answer one question, not one. Nope, she was far more concerned with ‘filibustering’ the interview so she could pretend she said something without really saying anything. His questions were fairly simple and basic, questions any presidential candidate should have been able to answer, but all she did was spin, deflect, bring up Trump, and spin some more. In other words, she imploded. If she can’t handle Bret Baier how on Earth does anyone believe she could handle Putin or Xi? C’mon.””

No, she has no intelligence. She has been clouded by her own ego. The results of the interview will make no difference in the minds of the people that think she is the greatest thing since mint flavored sexual lube. Their minds have been clouded just as badly. The Humper is promising lots of goodies and that is all these people see. Make the rich pay huge taxes, give the money to the lazy leaches. A big Robin Hood of the 21st century.
The Humper has no international skill. She is not even aware of the constitution and what it provides. She sees herself as the savior of the poor black people. Even herself as she manifests an ethnic background that is entirely false.
I have not heard any plans about how she is going to tax the rich. If I was very rich and she got elected, I would consider relocation myself to Canada, Switzerland or Germany.
The Humper has offered nothing about border security other than it was all Trump’s fault. Hello you sniveling whore, you and Spongey’s administration had years to fix the problem. Instead you made it worse.
The Humper has no plans for energy, such energy necessary for a strong economy. She has not filled a gas tank, bought groceries, stood in line at Disneyland, in dozens of years. She has not had to wait hours in an emergency room. She has not had to pay hundreds of dollars for a prescription. The Humper is so far removed from the life of real Americans she cannot even comprehend what it is like to live day-to-day.
The Humper is like Joel Osten. Lots of words to make a person feel good. But no real substance. No answers, no solutions, nothing substantial on anything that is important.
There have been a lot of bad political candidates for many years, including Trump. But the Humper is far and away the worst possible choice for a candidate.
I took an HP50 into a midterm in a Graphics class about 10 years ago and cut through the test in about 10 minutes.

Jimmy Carter graduated from the Naval Academy and Admiral Rickover’s nuclear sub program. He also ran a successful farm prior to entering politics.
And no matter how poorly he ran the White House, the old Sunday School teacher made sure that Uncle Ted did not end up as the party nominee in 1980. If you don’t understand the significance, find a way to screen “Chappaquiddick”.

Carter did not graduate from the nuclear sub program.
He withdrew after his father died and received a discharge to return to Plains and take over his part of the family peanut business.
His stupidity in the Middle East and abandonment of the Shah of Iran paved the way for the mullahs and their reign of terror.
RE the dishwasher:
I would have a working, used one installed. Get one from a used appliance store. The empty hole will turn off many buyers. A working machine will get the response of, “we’ll upgrade it when it fails”.
>>His stupidity in the Middle East and abandonment of the Shah <<
What if the West pummeled Iran’s oil wells, refineries, and infrastructure – and then decided to rebuild it (Lend-Lease? Elon Musk?) with the proviso we could salt their earth if they didn’t start governing themselves under rule of common law; the first of which being the sanctity of property rights.

Yup, Jimmy Carter was the captain of the last diesel electric sub. I forget the name. It may have been the special sub with a snorkel built for the Barents Sea with undersea phone cable splitter for the Russian undersea phone line.
Carter told a friend of mine (dead five years now) when my friend was an ensign on Rickover’s staff in 1963 ??? that he, Carter, would never get on a nuclear sub as Carter viewed nuclear subs as dangerous. This was right after the loss of the Thresher when we did not know that a two inch through the hull tank fitting had failed at 1,300 feet. Many people were saying that the nuclear reactor failed which was not the case.
It would be interesting to leapfrog Mars colonies and find a moon with better prospects. Other than the fact that mass is cheap once you are on the planet, if you are going to live in hermetically sealed environments, why do it at the bottom of a gravity well?

We have a bad problem with dogs being abandoned out here. She has a little grey on her muzzle. She looks healthy.
I doubt that the county animal control will respond at midnight.
She has been jumping on the office front door for three hours now. Way before I fed her. All of my office neighbors have dogs and they are barking at her.
I am hoping that she has not scratched up my $4,000 office double front door made out of glass and black metal.
