Dang it!

"Is this game, set, match for Trump?" (CNN)

Even though I have javascript off and plug-ins off, there's an autoplay on that CNN page. Didn't start 'til I went to that tab, and then a woman starts blabbering at top volume. How do they even do that?

Hit mute as fast as I could. Milady apparently was not awakened by it, fortunately.

New policy: I will henceforth never click on a CNN link.

And I wonder what the story was. But not much.

Kate58: ...provide even one line better explaining the subject matter? Right now it's a string of punch lines for jokes we've never heard....

Glad for hovering revealing the URL which sometimes helps.

Glad I'm not on the cell where I don't have that.

No EMT but straight to news dump?
What?

Morning, y'all.

Chillier night than predicted.
30° now.
Frost on the grass.
Frost on the pickup windshield.
Blazing red orb on the horizon.
Lone white-tail west of the house.
Dog lamely gave chase, then stopped.
Supposed to be going up to 60° today.
Will probably be warmer.
Coffee's cooking.
I'll take it.

Well, that's all I kin stanz and I can' stanz no mo' so I guess I'll drag my ol' carcass off to the bed so I kin git up in d'mawnin' and be disappointed by Vic again. (Or, maybe he'll show up.)

Geez, don't know where that accent came from. Part Popeye, part Li'l Abner, I think.

"God created the heavens and formed the earth; he established the universe and created this world not in vain; he formed it to be inhabited."

That's what I heard anyway.

Good night, then, fellow created inhabitants.

Home, and my beverage went too fast while I perused the comments. Might dare a second helping.

There is only one thing I might change on AoS comments - live links. Not the kind you have to construct like with HTML link tags. Not a change on anything users do, like making sure links are short - Just pixy turning an http url into a live link automagically.

I'm sure there's some good reason that's not done, like it would require an extra hamster. But if I could change just one thing, it would be eliminating the highlight-cut-paste of links.

Whew. Rescued from the previous thread... uh... wait, sixty comments already? I have a feeling something - the Hot Air influx maybe? - is making it harder to keep up. All you people just quit commenting so I can read your comments. Wait... never mind.

Repeating from earlier thread, because it's arty:

I tried to capture the magnificence of this day's sunrise. Couldn't, of course, but, hey, it's sharper than some of the art thread paintings! The close-as-I-could-get results on my site:

Make America Great Again: I think Bernie wins "likability" over Cruz hands down.

Not that the nation of idiots might not go socialist over Constitutionalist, but old man who yells at clouds likable? As personable as a bundle of barbed wire. Guess it depends on what a person finds to "like."

You're a... um... er... I mean... that position seems idiotic to me. And calls into question your good judgment regarding your candidate.

buzzion: Make America Great Again, Trump Super Fan, and Misfortune and Pestilence, all push the birther stuff. Its idiotic. And I say that as someone in the not opposed to - supportive of Trump area. I stand by my stance that he's an idiot.

Buzz, farbeit for me to advise the deceased in anything but as a suggestion on debate style for one and all:

"You're an idiot" is ad hominem.

"That position is idiotic" makes the same point, pretty much, but is to the topic not the person.

Brother Cavil: By the way, what happened to the "new commenting policy"? Is that no longer a thing? It sure seems like it's no longer a thing.

Well, it would require the overpaid and underworked (sarc!!) syscops to be policing all the comments.

Would be much easier for Ace to just change commenting to Facebook....

Which, of course, will be in #twoweeks.

MTF: Did everyone listen to Mark Levin on Trump's crazed S.C. debate performance? It was great stuff.

What day was that? (I'd assume the day after the debate? And, uh, what day was that? I lose track.)

"Guns used in most domestic deaths."

AllenG: What an asinine headline.
"Hammers used in most domestic construction."...

I think maybe you're still missing the larger asininity - which I also did at first until Milady wifesplained it to me.

It's not even just saying "most domestic killings." It's saying most domestic deaths! As in, more than heart attacks, cancer, everything.
