Bruce Springsteen and Tom Morello - The Ghost of Tom Joad

eric3579 says...

Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks
Goin' someplace there's no goin' back
Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge

Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Shelter line stretchin' 'round the corner
Welcome to the new world order
Families sleepin' in their cars in the Southwest
No home no job no peace no rest

The highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad

He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land
You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Bathin' in the city aqueduct

The highway is alive tonight
Where it's headed everybody knows
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad

Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me Mom I'll be there
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand
Or decent job or a helpin' hand
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free
Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me."

Well the highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
With the ghost of old Tom Joad

Elon Musk introduces the TESLA ENERGY POWERWALL

spawnflagger says...

Inspired by this announcement, I started looking at solar panels yesterday. Actually I learned that there are also "solar shingles" that replace regular shingles, and blend in better, but are not as efficient as PV panels.

I signed up to be notified on the Tesla site - would be neat to own.

I also learned that northeast USA has more average sunlight (~4 kWh/m^2/Day) than Germany, which leads the world in solar adoption. Obviously places in southwest are better suited (~6.5 kWh/m^2/Day)

Airplane Etiquette

StukaFox says...

They forgot these:

- Cabin service so frosty it makes a Moscow winter look like fucking Maui. (See: Icelandair)

- Fist-swinging free-for-all trying to grab aisle seats near the front of the plane (See: Southwest).

- The prepaid-for seat shuffle where the seat you reserved three months ago gets taken from you and you're reassigned somewhere near the head at the back of the plane. (See: Alaska Airlines)

- "Aww, Sweetie, did you want a sandwich on this 7-hour trans-Atlantic flight? THAT'LL BE 30 FUCKING EUROS PLEASE. Oh, you want to pay in dollars? Ok, that'll be 45 bucks at the current exchange rate plus conversion and transaction fees. Here, enjoy this three-day-old reindeer meat sammich that's dryer than the twats of the frigid cabin crew who served it to you." (See: Icelandair (again))

- Ladies and Gentlemen, we apologize for the 6g maneuver our former Air Force pilot is about to pull in order to avoid having to do a go-around because we were too busy discussing the new stewardess' tits to watch the glide path. Please keep the screaming in terror to a minimum as he startles easily . . ." (See: Delta)

- "Ladies and Gentlemen, we've now arrived in Scranton . . . oh, fuck, this isn't Pittsburgh!" (See: Delta (multiple times))

Yeah -- I just LOVE flying.

10 Discoveries Unexplained By Science

artician says...

I thought the New Mexico anomaly was discovered to be due to the shifting sand dunes near there, or was that another area in the southwest?

Top DHS checkpoint refusals

Jaer says...

Morality isn't involved into the law because morality is not objective, nor fair. Like I said, morals are of ones own definition, trying to place a blanket over the entire debate with 1 definition doesn't make Morals "standardized".

Morals aren't necessarily "fair" nor always equal. Hence they cannot be in the same group as "morals" (I won't get too far into it, but look at the Gay Marriage debates, many claim "morals" when it comes to against it, etc)

Anyway, again the situation shown may be vaguely like East Germany, but overall it isn't even close. East Germany wouldn't allow any sort of questions to be asked to the authorities, let alone recorded onto any sort of video device. In places where there's a true police state, there's no such thing as convenience, so such a comparison isn't justified. IF this was happening *everywhere* in the country, and not along the southern border, then I'd agree that there's an issue.

The states that this is happening in (south/southwest states & Texas), it was voted on by the people to allow this. They asked, begged and rallied to get additional "border protection", this is what they get.

They didn't know the consequence, so this is on them and the price they have to pay to fight the "illegal immigrant menace". I think it's absolutely ridiculous, but I hope these people realize that if they continue to push for "closing borders" and everything that Arizona (in particular) has done, will end up biting them in the ass.

@Jaer not sure why you think morality is not involved in the law. The laws, the courts and the police agents are there to serve justice (IIRC).

via Wikipedia:
'Justice is a concept of moral rightness based on ethics, rationality, law, natural law, religion, equity or fairness'

Also, you make the argument from a point of convenience but several of these people are willing to bear the inconvenience to make their point. Non-compliance is a form of activism and the fact that they are all let go without answering the questions or submitting to searches shows that the DHS agents understand that what they are requesting is actually outside the bounds of our rights as they are generally interpreted. They are simply seeking compliance.

Which brings me to my final point. My German girlfriend overheard the video and then came to sit by me and watch it. She was fascinated with the video and at the end, she commented on the several references to Nazi Germany.

'Americans don't really know anything. That's not like Nazi Germany, it's like East Germany. The only difference is the Stazi got results and nobody dared to resist their constant intrusions so directly.'

She should know, since she lived there until the wall came down. Non-compliance against an unjust act/request is a moral duty. Damn your convenience.

50 Common Misconceptions

chingalera says...

Also, if you eat a jar of peanut butter as slow as I do, refrigerating it keeps it from turning rancid before you kill it-

Never was an issue outside of southwest Texas (Malaysian summers), if you live where it's cold and dry nut oils stay fresh longer at room temp-

schlub said:

I do. In "natural" peanut butter, the oil separates and floats on the top. You have to mix it back in to the peanut butter or else it'll be too dry and hard to spread. Refrigerating it slows the separation - keeping it smooth and pasty. ;-)
