Your crap joke for the day:
A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street. “But officer,” the man began, “I can explain.”..”Just be quiet,” snapped the officer. “I’m going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back.”..”But, officer, I just wanted to say,…”..”And I said to keep quiet! You’re going to jail!”…A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, “Lucky for you that the chief’s at his daughter’s wedding. He’ll be in a good mood when he gets back.”…”Don’t count on it,” answered the fellow in the cell. “I’m the groom.”
I could probably slide to a later June weekend. July and August do get difficult for me as well.
I knew we were talking about Father’s Day weekend, but I didn’t have an issue. As holidays go, it’s in the pile with Grandparents day and Boss appreciation day.
Since we’re talking MMMMMeetup scheduling, I will weigh in with my thoughts on the possible weekends that are being discussed:
May 16-19 – I can definitely show up for this one, although it’s not my first choice.
May 23-26 – (Memorial Day weekend) – OK, no problem here
Any other weekend in June – OK, no problem here (except for the below)
June 27-30 – Same as May 16-19 – can show up, but would prefer to avoid this weekend
Note that due to my work schedule and not having any more personal time I can use, I will get into town either late on Saturday night or early on Sunday morning, depending on when I can get a flight.
Actually…. May 30 thru June 1 could work…. Amy? Everyone?
Discuss. Contact me in public or via email. Let’s figure this out.

The only weekend I know for sure is bad is the first one in June due to Relay For Life. Any thing else might work but I dont know for sure. We will fo the best we can, but it is more important to pick a date foe Van, imo.

A woman went into a bar in Texas and saw a cowboy with his feet propped up on a table. He had the biggest feet she’d ever seen. The woman asked the cowboy if it’s true what they say about men with big feet. The cowboy grinned and said, “Sure is, little lady! Why don’t you come on out to the bunk house and let me prove it to you!” The woman wanted to find out for herself, so she spent the night with him. The next morning she handed him a $100 bill. Blushing, he said, “Well, thank ya Ma’am. I’m real flattered. Aitn’t nobody ever paid me fer mah services before. The woman replied, “Don’t be flattered. Take the money and buy yourself some boots that fit.”

Hubby says he has a mystery door in his room. It’s locked and he wants to know what’s on the other side. I asked if it was linked to the room next door but he said it isn’t.
His last text told me he thinks it’s a secret time and space portal. I told him to take pictures if he does end up in another time or dimension
Good grief! Has he (i)never(/i) seen this movie?
That door never turns out well.
Given who he’s married to, I’m quite sure he is aware of that trope.
On a related note, I haven’t heard from him since he told me about the door (really I haven’t. I’m assuming he went for dinner)

I just brewed an English Red Ale. This was my 7th brew, I think, and by far the smoothest experience. It’ll be called Deadpan Red, because Van. And also Alvie recommended a Red for this round. Deadpan! Red! Ale!
Mr. Lo, you must come next time.
It’s been a fun day all around. I went and stood in line at 6:30 a.m. today for some free Broncos swag with 1,000 other cold people, then took my mother-in-law shopping for a table-top a.m./f.m. radio so she can listen to Rockies games this season. We also had lovely greasy Five Guys burgers for lunch. Full, fun day!
And I do realize you wouldn’t want any, Van. We have Baileys in the fridge for you.

Good news. I’m taking the boychild to his first major con. We are headed to GenCon Indy this year.
Unacceptable!
Seriously – – GenCon should be awesome experience for the wee lad. Are there any games or people in particular he wants to see?
Nothing in particular. I’m going to see about signing him up for some game demos, probably real dungeon. He and his buddies play these “games” were they make up stories and act them out with swords, lightsabers, superhero gear, etc. I’m trying to help him make a transition to doing the same sort of things indoors with dice. We’ll see how that goes. He’s got one friend who isn’t even allowed to watch Harry Potter, so I have to be careful to avoid “demonic” things if some of his friends play.
He’s also excited that there might be some video game demos there too.
I think it’s going to be quite mind-blowing for him, in the best way possible.
Ha! I thought you were going to tell us he was sitting on his first panel!
If they realized just how good he was at podcasting they would probably give him his own track.

JFC. This society needs to care more about mental health and the bad effects of poor parents.
Yeah… its a fucking travesty
In defense of myself and other parents of teens with severe depression… believe it or not, there are other factors that can lead to depression than “poor parents”. I know we have a tenancy to blame everything on the parents, but let’s get the whole story before we start throwing potentially unwarranted stones, shall we?
Good point UH.
Getting access to help for depression is often difficult and expensive. That added on top of the social stigma against getting help and the general difficultly of trying to figure out if you have a normally moody teen (“all I wanted was a PEPSI!”) or one with sever depression … Parenting is a tough and vastly underpaid, middle management position.
Next big change needed in society is the view on Depression as an illness (a treatable one) and NOT just “suck it up and quit whining” thing. Of course we’d also have to get insurance to pay for counseling and treatment.
my .02 cents
Hey, UsedHair – – I agree 100%, and I hope my shorthand statement didn’t come across as “depressed kids = poor parents.” My comment is aimed at sick parents whose actions ambush their kids’ futures, kids with depression issues who might have had a chance, if not for the rotten adults in their lives. I’ll throw stones at those people all day, every day.
Regardless, we need more help ready and available for people struggling to feel ok.
Agreed on all points.
And I do apologize for my carelessly-worded remark.
Best part of the whole story: “One of the cafeteria workers also suffered minor injuries when she broke the glass to access the fire extinguisher” Nothing like products designed for safety that end up causing injuries themselves.

Hey Jack. If spring/summer doesn’t work for a mmmmmeetup, would a September or October date work better?

It’s probably gonna need to be September-ish, though.

I challenge the validity of your claim above about your manse.
I’m confused. It says, “annual BSFA Awards for works first published in 2013”
God’s War was published in 2011. I’m assuming it meant books first published in the UK in 2013? Is that right, Van.
Yup, God’s War only officially came out in the UK in 2013.

Ironically, Canada can deem folks inadmissable if they have been convicted of DUI or any other felony. Sooooo there’s that little conundrum as well.
Crap joke for this chilly morning:
A customer was continually bothering the waiter in a restaurant; first, he’d asked that the air conditioning be turned up because he was too hot, then he asked it be turned down because he was too cold, and so on for about half an hour. Surprisingly, the waiter was very patient, walking back and forth and never once getting angry. So finally, a second customer asked why didn’t they just throw out the pest. “Oh I don’t care.” said the waiter with a smile. “We don’t even have an air conditioner.”
So, if my own heart rate is not above a certain amount, does that mean I’d be stuck in the bra forever? That would kind of suck.
Considering the source, I assume some kind of tentacle is required.
I’m envisioning a scene in which a truck veers suddenly into her lane on the interstate and as she manages a miraculous, saving throw maneuver to avoid on-rushing death and is bring her car back under control – she crashes as a result of her airbags deploying.

I have a question for the beer drinkers that were using Pintly. Has everyone switched to BeerAdvocate or some other platform? Apart from and excel spreadsheet, I’ve been tracking my beer bottles on Pintly, but they are missing so many of the beers that I have (hence the spreadsheet). BeerAdvocate seems to have far more beers listed. However transferring 500+ beers from one system to another seems a gargantuan task with little return on investment. Opinions?
I haven’t switched to anything.
I don’t use anything. We just drink what looks good.
There was a time when we had one of every bottle of beer we tried lining the top of the kitchen cupboards. Once they reached three deep I decided it was getting a little ridiculous and recycled them all.
For whatever reason, I have no compulsion to track my beer consumption nor to collect bottles; other things, yes, just not beer. 😀
I started to hit some of Pintly’s limitations (like not having some of the beers I had) and I just stopped using it. Now I don’t use any. Guess it did not “enrich my user experience” enough to give it my time. *shrugs*
I was on Pintley for a minute, but never kept up. I’m like Bunny and ditto.
I mainly use Beer Advocate for research, but to jot down just a few notes Ill use Pintley. It really does lack in beer amount

“out for me”
So the olympics start next week. I know there was some talk of a pool, did it go any farther than talk. I remember saying I’d root for Canada, of course.
I watched it live and it was about the scariest thing I had ever seen.
Not “scary movie” scary but “OMFH this is real life a human is gonna die now” scary.
I shall attempted to watch it again now that time has passed and see if it is still as intense.
So yeh. Still quite powerfull but here are some bits they edited out.
The exit from the capsule took several minutes more than they showed. There were a series of things he had to do first. After he opened the capsule door, you could hear him breathing harder and over the following minutes until he jumped, his responses with ground control seemed to grow slower and confused.
They often had to repeat things a few times to get a response from him and when I watched it live it gave me the real sense that maybe something had happened to his oxygen supply or something.
In reality, his visor heater had failed and he was facing the life or death decision as to whether to scrub the mission. In one interview I heard him admit he was fighting a rising bit of fear/panic.
Another thing from seeing it live (spoilers if you didn’t view Pixie’s link yet)-
If you were the sort of geek who followed this sort of thing (me), you knew that one of the biggest dangers of a fall from that altitude was the flat spin or a tumble. Things tend to start that and pick up speed in a hurry. When it starts, a human has a very short window of time before it causes them to black out. Unconscious people can’t deploy shoots, much less get in the right position to have a shoot “auto deploy”. When Felix jumped there was no live feed from his suit. So we had this long range, black and white speck from a tracking camera. After falling for a few moments that speck flashed “Light” … “Dark”.”Light” … “Dark”.”Light”. “Dark” .”Light””Dark”. “”LightDark”.””LightDarkLightDark”
You knew it HAD to be “The spin”.
Supposidly, one of the things being tested in this jump was a special emergency system that would deploy itself in the event of one of these spins. For some reason it didn’t or wasn’t being deployed.
In the audio (I noticed it was edited in this video)you could here his breathing start to get very rapid and loud. Ground control was calling him (very calmly, I might add) but he was NOT responding.
Then the sound of his breathing quit. I’m not sure I was breathing at that point. Another moment or so and then the “spot” stopped flashing. He had stopped the spin.
I read afterwards that he pulled himself together and (having now fallen into atmosphere that finally had some density to it) was able to use his arms to stop the spin. I have seen it discussed that there are few free fall jumpers in the world that might have pulled that off in the situation he was in.
ANYWAY – that is why you hear such a response of cheering when he said he had stopped the spin.
If you ever see the external footage of him landing, when he kneels and kisses the ground it is not for the cameras. He was truly honestly that happy to be back on earth and alive.
That guy = “The right stuff”.
AND ANOTHER spoiler thing …
Because his visor heater had malfunctioned, the inside had iced over and he couldn’t see his altimeter clearly. Sadly, this led him to deploy his shoot about 20 seconds to soon to break the record for longest free fall. He gets “fastest” and “farthest” though and that’s not too shabby.
Okay. I’m through with my fanboy/geekout now.
I also recall watching that historic jump with the kids, thinking “I might be streaming video of a person’s awful death here”. They were disappointed that he didn’t reach the longest freefall record – – I had no idea that was the reason he didn’t get it.
Incidentally, “The Last Cyberpunk,” my first-ever published story, ca 2003-2004, focused around a “stratodive” from space.

The State Department finds that there is no environmental problem with allowing the Keystone pipeline because – (fasten your seatbelts) – the oil IS 17x more polluting then other oil sources and is actually worse for the environment but since the company selling it will find a way to get the oil to market even with out the pipeline … our help (US)does not make it worse for the environmental.

So for the first time iTunes refused to update tonight, tried reinstalling and it was still crapping out.
Had to uninstall all the bits of Apple software on PC, then delete left over directories, reboot and then reinstall.
Now it works..grrrr!
Ditto brought to my attention, June 15th is Father’s Day which might rule it out for many Panites. Van, what other dates have you got?
Just an FYI, July and August are completely out for my. Just sayin’
*sigh* my = me
CW: Sleepy Hollow season finale
already?
We are about three episodes behind.
Well if not, it left a hell of a cliff hanger.
It is. And its been a good 13 episodes so a nice run for a first season
I like the Whopper, fuck the Big Mac
http://www.wanderradioproductions.com/2014/01/16/want-to-play-a-game/
just to remember the old times
I could probably slide to a later June weekend. July and August do get difficult for me as well.
I knew we were talking about Father’s Day weekend, but I didn’t have an issue. As holidays go, it’s in the pile with Grandparents day and Boss appreciation day.

Since we’re talking MMMMMeetup scheduling, I will weigh in with my thoughts on the possible weekends that are being discussed:
May 16-19 – I can definitely show up for this one, although it’s not my first choice.
May 23-26 – (Memorial Day weekend) – OK, no problem here
Any other weekend in June – OK, no problem here (except for the below)
June 27-30 – Same as May 16-19 – can show up, but would prefer to avoid this weekend
Note that due to my work schedule and not having any more personal time I can use, I will get into town either late on Saturday night or early on Sunday morning, depending on when I can get a flight.
Actually…. May 30 thru June 1 could work…. Amy? Everyone?
Discuss. Contact me in public or via email. Let’s figure this out.
curling!
The only weekend I know for sure is bad is the first one in June due to Relay For Life. Any thing else might work but I dont know for sure. We will fo the best we can, but it is more important to pick a date foe Van, imo.
Ok, this might be a job for SurveyMonkey.
Weird dream about the meetup. I got stranded on the Breaking Bad set and we all ended up dining with Benedict Cumberbatch.

Your crap joke for the day:
A woman went into a bar in Texas and saw a cowboy with his feet propped up on a table. He had the biggest feet she’d ever seen. The woman asked the cowboy if it’s true what they say about men with big feet. The cowboy grinned and said, “Sure is, little lady! Why don’t you come on out to the bunk house and let me prove it to you!” The woman wanted to find out for herself, so she spent the night with him. The next morning she handed him a $100 bill. Blushing, he said, “Well, thank ya Ma’am. I’m real flattered. Aitn’t nobody ever paid me fer mah services before. The woman replied, “Don’t be flattered. Take the money and buy yourself some boots that fit.”
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaw!

I guess I will just have to watch the Edmonton – Phoenix hockey tonight
Hubby says he has a mystery door in his room. It’s locked and he wants to know what’s on the other side. I asked if it was linked to the room next door but he said it isn’t.
His last text told me he thinks it’s a secret time and space portal. I told him to take pictures if he does end up in another time or dimension
Good grief! Has he (i)never(/i) seen this movie?
That door never turns out well.
Given who he’s married to, I’m quite sure he is aware of that trope.
On a related note, I haven’t heard from him since he told me about the door (really I haven’t. I’m assuming he went for dinner)

Bad news. No Deadpan Mmmmmeetup for me this time around.
Good news. I’m taking the boychild to his first major con. We are headed to GenCon Indy this year.
Unacceptable!
Seriously – – GenCon should be awesome experience for the wee lad. Are there any games or people in particular he wants to see?
Nothing in particular. I’m going to see about signing him up for some game demos, probably real dungeon. He and his buddies play these “games” were they make up stories and act them out with swords, lightsabers, superhero gear, etc. I’m trying to help him make a transition to doing the same sort of things indoors with dice. We’ll see how that goes. He’s got one friend who isn’t even allowed to watch Harry Potter, so I have to be careful to avoid “demonic” things if some of his friends play.
He’s also excited that there might be some video game demos there too.
I think it’s going to be quite mind-blowing for him, in the best way possible.
Ha! I thought you were going to tell us he was sitting on his first panel!
If they realized just how good he was at podcasting they would probably give him his own track.

JFC. This society needs to care more about mental health and the bad effects of poor parents.
Yeah… its a fucking travesty
In defense of myself and other parents of teens with severe depression… believe it or not, there are other factors that can lead to depression than “poor parents”. I know we have a tenancy to blame everything on the parents, but let’s get the whole story before we start throwing potentially unwarranted stones, shall we?
Good point UH.
Getting access to help for depression is often difficult and expensive. That added on top of the social stigma against getting help and the general difficultly of trying to figure out if you have a normally moody teen (“all I wanted was a PEPSI!”) or one with sever depression … Parenting is a tough and vastly underpaid, middle management position.
Next big change needed in society is the view on Depression as an illness (a treatable one) and NOT just “suck it up and quit whining” thing. Of course we’d also have to get insurance to pay for counseling and treatment.
my .02 cents
Hey, UsedHair – – I agree 100%, and I hope my shorthand statement didn’t come across as “depressed kids = poor parents.” My comment is aimed at sick parents whose actions ambush their kids’ futures, kids with depression issues who might have had a chance, if not for the rotten adults in their lives. I’ll throw stones at those people all day, every day.
Regardless, we need more help ready and available for people struggling to feel ok.
Agreed on all points.
And I do apologize for my carelessly-worded remark.
Best part of the whole story: “One of the cafeteria workers also suffered minor injuries when she broke the glass to access the fire extinguisher” Nothing like products designed for safety that end up causing injuries themselves.

It’s probably gonna need to be September-ish, though.

Surprisingly, the waiter was very patient, walking back and forth and never once getting angry. So finally, a second customer asked why didn’t they just throw out the pest. “Oh I don’t care.” said the waiter with a smile. “We don’t even have an air conditioner.”

“If its preposterous, take 5 minutes to prove it? Wheres the harm in that?”
Way to feed into the delusion.
Ha! Yeah there’s no such thing as “take 5 minutes” when it comes to the rover.
Of course, then there’s the skankiness of the lawyer who took the case… assuming he didn’t file himself. Which is a possibility.

I have a question for the beer drinkers that were using Pintly. Has everyone switched to BeerAdvocate or some other platform? Apart from and excel spreadsheet, I’ve been tracking my beer bottles on Pintly, but they are missing so many of the beers that I have (hence the spreadsheet). BeerAdvocate seems to have far more beers listed. However transferring 500+ beers from one system to another seems a gargantuan task with little return on investment. Opinions?
I haven’t switched to anything.
I don’t use anything. We just drink what looks good.
There was a time when we had one of every bottle of beer we tried lining the top of the kitchen cupboards. Once they reached three deep I decided it was getting a little ridiculous and recycled them all.
For whatever reason, I have no compulsion to track my beer consumption nor to collect bottles; other things, yes, just not beer. 😀
I started to hit some of Pintly’s limitations (like not having some of the beers I had) and I just stopped using it. Now I don’t use any. Guess it did not “enrich my user experience” enough to give it my time. *shrugs*
I was on Pintley for a minute, but never kept up. I’m like Bunny and ditto.
I mainly use Beer Advocate for research, but to jot down just a few notes Ill use Pintley. It really does lack in beer amount

WOWZA! I got all choked up at the end. I missed the live event (due to work) so I missed what you all missed.
But, now seeing the professionally edited GoPro version of Felix Baumgartner’s historic space jump, I felt like it was live for me.
I highly recommend you watch this NOW!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYw4meRWGd4&feature=youtu.be
I watched it live and it was about the scariest thing I had ever seen.
Not “scary movie” scary but “OMFH this is real life a human is gonna die now” scary.
I shall attempted to watch it again now that time has passed and see if it is still as intense.
So yeh. Still quite powerfull but here are some bits they edited out.
The exit from the capsule took several minutes more than they showed. There were a series of things he had to do first. After he opened the capsule door, you could hear him breathing harder and over the following minutes until he jumped, his responses with ground control seemed to grow slower and confused.
They often had to repeat things a few times to get a response from him and when I watched it live it gave me the real sense that maybe something had happened to his oxygen supply or something.
In reality, his visor heater had failed and he was facing the life or death decision as to whether to scrub the mission. In one interview I heard him admit he was fighting a rising bit of fear/panic.
Another thing from seeing it live (spoilers if you didn’t view Pixie’s link yet)-
If you were the sort of geek who followed this sort of thing (me), you knew that one of the biggest dangers of a fall from that altitude was the flat spin or a tumble. Things tend to start that and pick up speed in a hurry. When it starts, a human has a very short window of time before it causes them to black out. Unconscious people can’t deploy shoots, much less get in the right position to have a shoot “auto deploy”. When Felix jumped there was no live feed from his suit. So we had this long range, black and white speck from a tracking camera. After falling for a few moments that speck flashed “Light” … “Dark”.”Light” … “Dark”.”Light”. “Dark” .”Light””Dark”. “”LightDark”.””LightDarkLightDark”
You knew it HAD to be “The spin”.
Supposidly, one of the things being tested in this jump was a special emergency system that would deploy itself in the event of one of these spins. For some reason it didn’t or wasn’t being deployed.
In the audio (I noticed it was edited in this video)you could here his breathing start to get very rapid and loud. Ground control was calling him (very calmly, I might add) but he was NOT responding.
Then the sound of his breathing quit. I’m not sure I was breathing at that point. Another moment or so and then the “spot” stopped flashing. He had stopped the spin.
I read afterwards that he pulled himself together and (having now fallen into atmosphere that finally had some density to it) was able to use his arms to stop the spin. I have seen it discussed that there are few free fall jumpers in the world that might have pulled that off in the situation he was in.
ANYWAY – that is why you hear such a response of cheering when he said he had stopped the spin.
If you ever see the external footage of him landing, when he kneels and kisses the ground it is not for the cameras. He was truly honestly that happy to be back on earth and alive.
That guy = “The right stuff”.
AND ANOTHER spoiler thing …
Because his visor heater had malfunctioned, the inside had iced over and he couldn’t see his altimeter clearly. Sadly, this led him to deploy his shoot about 20 seconds to soon to break the record for longest free fall. He gets “fastest” and “farthest” though and that’s not too shabby.
Okay. I’m through with my fanboy/geekout now.
I also recall watching that historic jump with the kids, thinking “I might be streaming video of a person’s awful death here”. They were disappointed that he didn’t reach the longest freefall record – – I had no idea that was the reason he didn’t get it.
Incidentally, “The Last Cyberpunk,” my first-ever published story, ca 2003-2004, focused around a “stratodive” from space.
