Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act

 Just in case you were excited about the prospect of not being shouted at by TV commercials like a carnival barker trying to sell you Ginsu knives was trying to get your attention, I have to burst your bubble. 

 I see no possible reason for this. commercial producers could fix this tomorrow. The congresswoman that authored this caved in to some form of lobbying pressure is the only reason I can think of. Now they have two years to find a way out of it. It's so stupid. Most all of the time I'm either watching something recorded or behind live on my DVR. Sometimes i'm multitasking and when the commercials come on, often I would hear at least parts of it out of the corner of my ear if my attention wasn't called to it by blasting volume. Soon as that happens I grab the remote and speed through the commercials. Every time. Without exceptions. Am I way into the minority here?

 I will not watch offensive commercials, and often what offends me is blaring loud music or other sounds of a commercial. I love loud music. I listen to it... often... when i CHOOSE to. I won't have someone forceing it on me in a commercial, or in a web advertisement. Not only that, but most commentary news programs I watch regularly have loud lead ins at the start of a show and then coming back from every segment. Do they really think they need to do that because people have left the room during the commercial? 

 How to they think these things work? Who do they ask?

Objectivity, conformation bias, the stork and far left knee jerk reactions to fracking and the Canadian pipleline.

  I'm a 64 year old liberal. But what I also try not to be on the topic of energy production is a hypocrite. As I read the responses here I’m certain that about 99% of you drive cars to your home where you turn on you lights, put your cell (made in an energy hog Chinese factory) on the charger, cook or microwave (made in an energy hog Chinese factory) something to eat, which you get from your freezer/refrigerator, (made in an energy hog Chinese factory) boot up your computer (made in an energy hog Chinese factory), hit the net, turn on a TV (made in an energy hog Chinese factory).. And on and on, yet you’d think from what’s here that you haven’t got a clue what powers it all. You can NOT live a modern life and be AGAINST energy production that is scalable to hundreds of millions, indeed billions of people. Please notice it has to be scalable. You can’t get nearly enough of it from our favorite tree hugging sources, wind, solar, hydro (most tree huggers don’t like that one) or ...

Attached to the USS Handcock

I guess you could say I was attached in a way because my dad flew off the Hancock during this time. His jacket has that emblem on the back of it. Until recently I thought when he said he was among the first Pilots to take off with steam catapults that he was talking about World War II. But recently I discovered that the Randolph was the first carrier to use steam catapults. Maybe they use some different kind of catapult in late World War. But you can see in the footage here is of the Catapult test sleds. You also see that in some of the footage here the Skyraider being launched by the catapult off a different carrier and it's wheels are in the air before they hit in the end of the deck. There's footage from the Randolph that shows F9F cougars being catapult launched and tipping down towards the sea as they gained airspeed followed by an unassisted Skyraiders rumbling down the deck with its wheels in the air before it gets to the end. LOL  maybe you could let let a Skyraider Lum...

Ohio is NOT broke.

Ohio is not broke! We the people know where the money is, we know where it goes. We're a consumer driven economy. We the working class buy stuff and it goes into the pockets of the investor class. Look at corporate profits. Look at Wall Street, look at the stock market. Look at CEO pay and you'll know who has money and who doesn't. The Wall street is back to where it was in late 2007. How come we the people are not back to where we were in late 2007? Why are the rich continuing to get richer even in hard times and we are ask to endure the consequences of massive state budget cuts? The answer is the same as it has been since the beginning of the industrial age, but never more emphatic than after the 2010 elections. The reason we can't ask the investor class to pay their fair share, even on a short term basis is simply because when asked, they say "no". It's as simple as that.They just say "no". They say "no" to the Republ...
