Mozes se uclaniti online i poslati donaciju: https://www.bikersfortrumppac2020.com/ Tamo lepo pise: Sa prvom recenicom citiranog se apsolutno slazem. Evo, ti si u drugoj izvalio dve. 1. Ja nisam biker. U USA, postoje bikers i motorcyclists. Bikers se loze na "image" i "lifestyle" a motorcyclists voze dvotockase za sport i rekreaciju. I jedni i drugi bi se nasmejali da dodjem negde svojim sportskim BMW-om i cuju te da me nazoves bikerom... 2. Ponovio si podmetacinu i laz da sam za socijalizam. Mada, to spada u tvoju detinjastu crno-belu podelu gde neki glasaju za Trumpa, a drugi su "komunjare".

Moze li malo cinjenica? Ok, nije "predstavnik" nego samo "midwest coordinator"...

Meni stvarno idu na nerve ti brojevi - te testirani, te zarazeni, te respiratori itd. To je samo priblizna slika realnosti. ko zna koliko toga prodje "ispod radara". Samo me zanima opsta smrtnost koju je tesko ili nemoguce sakriti. Evo, kaze NYT: The True Coronavirus Toll in the U.S. Has Already Surpassed 200,000 link: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/08/12/us/covid-deaths-us.html Clanak je pun grafikona itd. pa me mrzelo da ga pastujem. Koga zanima, neka vidi. Ni ovde se ne vidi direktna smrtnost od virusa. Neko umre od pneumonije za koju se ni ne zna cime je izazvana (nije testiran) ali je svakako pala smrtnost u saobracaju ili u avionima, jer ljudi ne putuju. Niko se ne truje hranom u restoranu jer su zatvoreni. Tacne cifre i speficne uzroke nikada necemo znati. Ali je jasno da je povecana smrtnost (broj umrlih u danom periodu, u odnosu na taj isti period u proseku poslednjih pet godina) uzrokovana pandemijom. Par testiranih vise-manje ili na respiratoru je ovde statisticki beznacajno.

Proslo dva dana, a ja jos uvek u soku. Imao sam neke "bog te ne heb'o, kako sam preziveo" situacije. Visegodisnji forumasi se mozda secaju mog pisanja, kako sam sa zenom vozio po recnom ledu na Aljasci kad smo umalo propali. Nama je trebao citav dan i noc da nam uopste puls opadne na normalu i da jedva popricamo o iskustvu. A Rossi i Vinales za par desetaka minuta nastave da voze, i to na takmicarskom/konkurentnom nivou. Jbt, ja se usr'o samo sto sam gledao na ekranu, a ovi doziveli i nastave. To su stvarno nadljudi i heroji, ja im zavidim na kontroli emocija i racionalnosti jer za tako nesto nisam sposoban.

(bold moj) Eh, ovo moram da komentarisem kao poznata picajzla na sto nacina, pa i jezicno. Jerbo pokazuje nesavrsenost i deficijenciju jezika. "Obrazovati" moze da bude i pasivan i aktivan glagol, zavisno da li ti obrazujes drugoga ili on tebe. Ovde se valjda radi o pasivnom obliku, njega su obrazovali. Dalje, moze da bude i trajni i svrseni glagol, pa si nekoga obrazovao godinama i jos ga obrazujes, ili je obrazovanje gotovo - u oba slucaja je obrazovan. To ti je isto kao u tucnjavi - ako je neko samo bijen, ne znas ko je pobedio - mozda je bijen pa uzvratio i rasturio protivnika, a mozda i bijen pa su ga na kraju prebili. U primeru koji si naveo, ipak bih rekao da je "obrazovan" glagolski pridev izveden iz nesvrsenog glagola. Jesu ga obrazovali (verovatno godinama), ali im nije uspelo - tako da taj jeste obrazovan kao zrtva dugotrajnog obrazovanja, ali nije obrazovan kao neko ko je stekao obrazovanje. U drugom glagolu koji sam upotrebio kao primer, bolje bi bilo i za njega i za nas da je bijen, pa i prebijen...

Kako bi bilo da stavis na neki image hosting site, kao npr. Imgur ili Photobucket, pa odatle prebacis ovamo? Tako slika nije na forumskom serveru koji ogranicava velicinu - nego na Imgurovom gde ogranicenja nema... Tako radim kad kacim svoje fotke i nisam imao problema. Za prognozu: 1. Dovizioso 2.

Bilo bi premalo vremena da se tako brzo od zavrsetka ispitivanja napravi toliko doza. Koliko sam razumeo iz razlicitih izvora, vec je proizvode i skladiste. Tako, da parafraziram DJ-ovu recenicu, nece je dati u distribuciju i prodaju ako ne prodje uspesno sve faze. Ako ne bude valjala, unistice i baciti. Inace se to ne radi jer je skupo, ali je situacija toliko hitna da vlade vise zemalja placaju za to i preuzimaju rizik da nece uspeti.

Ne znam je li ovo za zajebanciju, a nisam znao gde da okacim. Ma, fantazija. Ima slucajnih pizdarija koje ti neocekivano obeleze citav zivot ili barem neku fazu istog, mada tada nisi svestan toka svesti. Recimo, ides na more i letovanje godinama, a bas si tada jednom sreo nezaboravnu devojku ili je cak ozenio. Sta su druga leta prema tom jednom? Tako je jedan film ostavio trag na meni, pa i na mojem (ne)smislu za humor. Dan Aykroyd and John Landis: how we made The Blues Brothers Dan Aykroyd, actor (played Elwood) My original script was called The Return of the Blues Brothers and had two movies in it. John Landis turned it into a manageable 150 pages. He was the keystone of the project – he pulled it all together. Landis wrote the “four fried chickens and a coke” scene after seeing John Belushi [who played the other Blues Brother “Joliet” Jake] consume four fried chickens. Elwood’s dry white toast came from when I grew up in Ottawa and moved from my parents’ place – my toaster was a coat hanger on a stovetop. That was an old trick. We were inspired by John Lee Hooker’s House of the Blues record – he had the suit and the shades. Who wouldn’t want to look that cool? We put on a suit and tie and ended up looking like FBI agents. It was a universal look that worked so well. I remember coming into the diner with Aretha Franklin’s backup dancers when we were shooting her number, Think. My legs, stomach and solar plexus turned to jelly when she started to sing. Honestly, I didn’t know how I was going to get up from the stool and do the moves. We lost John one night. But it wasn’t because he was high, it was because he was hungry and didn’t like what was available to eat on set. I couldn’t find him anywhere. Finally, I saw this path going through a parking lot and into a nearby neighbourhood so I followed it. The neighbourhood was dark except for one house. I knock on the door and say, “Excuse me, we’re shooting a movie and missing one of our actors.” The guy goes, “Oh, Belushi? He came in about an hour ago, raided my fridge and crashed on my couch.” At the time, cocaine was a currency. For some of the crew working nights, it was almost like coffee. I never liked it myself but I wasn’t going to police others’ behaviour. We drove John Landis crazy. Sometimes he didn’t know whether we were going to show up for work after the parties, but Belushi was a professional and there was no way he wouldn’t come through. Southern cinemas didn’t want to screen the film because of the African American artists but when it became a hit they opened up and people got to see it. It acts as cultural preservation. We made sure the writers of the material kept their publishing rights. John and I took performers’ rights only. Every one of those songs we recorded remunerated the original artists 100% due to album sales. It was an ethical decision and the songwriters today and their estates have benefited from it. John Landis, director My wife [costume designer Deborah Nadoolman] designed Jake and Elwood’s look. On Saturday Night Live – where the characters had become widely known – they had always worn any old hats and sunglasses but she said, “No – Ray-Bans.” But they’d stopped making them so finding a pair was an epic quest. We’d go into dime stores and search through racks of sunglasses that’d been there for 30 years. We ended up with about 140 pairs and, of course, John used to give them to girls. The director Paul Brickman visited our set and we gave him about 30 pairs. He made Risky Business and Tom Cruise wore those glasses. By the time we were shooting, John had become addicted to cocaine. Cocaine makes you drink, and drinking makes you take more cocaine. Strangers would see him and give him drugs. It was difficult to keep them away. He almost died on the movie. For me, the biggest tragedy is that in Animal House he was there 100% for me and himself. In The Blues Brothers at the best moments he’s there 75% – but he’s great, so most people don’t notice. 02 Dan Aykroyd, actor (played Elwood) My original script was called The Return of the Blues Brothers and had two movies in it.

It was amazing making the movie but it was complicated. Lots of the wild stories come from the movie itself – you can’t just shoot 42 cars going 110 miles an hour in downtown Chicago. When you see those shots there’s no speeded-up footage. That took so much work and cooperation with the police. We had a 24-hour auto-shop. There are stories that we used hundreds of cars, but no: when you see those pileups, we took the same 20 cars and fixed them. We probably destroyed 25 vehicles by the end of the movie. I put the whole “mission from God” thing in as a homage to Dan because he was downright evangelical about the music. It’s hard to believe, but in 1979 rhythm, blues and Motown was in decline and the popular music was disco. People ask: “How did you get all those amazing acts?” We called them up! The whole point of the movie was to showcase these extraordinary artists. The Blues Brothers is a testament to John and Dan’s passion for the blues. They took advantage of their celebrity to focus attention on soul music. I’m proud of it, I also think it’s a totally insane film. There’s many reasons to make a movie and you’re successful or not on many different levels. On the level of Dan wanting to proselytise about this music, it was an enormous success. It brought everybody involved with it back with a vengeance.

Malopre se vratih. Isao biciklom (ponekad mi dodje) u kupovinu, bio u tri prodavnice i presao oko 20 km. Okacio masku (N95) o upravljac, disao fino. Kod svake prodavnice stao da uhvatim vazduha, pa stavio masku, usao, obavio, izasao i skinuo masku pa dalje. Ne kosta nista, a mozda pomogne. Nosim u dzepu i one dezinfekcione maramice. Cim izadjem iz ducana, ocistim ruke. Mozda sam paranoidan, necu se uvrediti ako mi neko kaze da jesam. Ali, osetno sam prevalio 60, pusim vec 45, imam i neke sitne hronicne probleme, nemam bas najbolje sanse ako me virus dokaci. Ko nece masku, njegov problem. Ali nemoj da mi prilazis ili mi se unosis u lice, postacu nasilan.

Ovi izbori ni nece biti pravi izbori, u smislu da se bira bplja/pozeljnija opcija. Ovo ce u stvari biti vise kao referendum za/protiv Trumpa. Biden nema bog zna sta da ponudi, osim da ne nastavi Trumpove gluposti. Zato je sad najzanimljivija stvar njegov izbor VP kandidata, jer je sasvim moguce da Biden (ako pobedi) da ostavku zbog zdravlja (bilo fizickog, bilo mentalnog) vec za par godina.

Zanimljiv clanak i video na RTL-u. Ne mislim da je imalo bolje u drugim gradovima, pa ni u ex-Yu drzavicama. I opet, pojeo vuk magare, nikome nista.

Imas jos jednu varijantu, nesto sto je radio moj nekadasnji komsija (preselio sam, inace bi bilo fotki). On je negde, valjda sa nekog otpada ili sta vec, nabavljao odbacene/istrosene gume velikog precnika - od kamiona ili straznjh tockova traktora. "Strateski" bi ih rasporedio iza kuce, bez ikakvog dna, i nasuo zemlju skoro do ivice, pa sadio svasta. Dobro mu je uspevalo.

The commuting of the prison sentence of Roger Stone is a consummate act of corruption and cronyism. Trump at work... Citav clanak: https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/the-roger-stone-case-shows-why-trump-is-worse-than-nixon

Uspeo sam sa vidim spornu sliku pre brisanja. Ne znam u kojem kontekstu je okacena, mozda kao provokativan odgovor nekome? Ne razumem razlog za inicijalno brisanje. Slazem se da je forumas trebalo da kontaktira modove i pita za razlog - umesto da ponavlja obrisani post. Meni licno, vidjena na ovoj temi i van nekog drugog konteksta, slika ne predstavlja nista sporno. Stavise, pozeleh da pitam gde da nabavim takvu majicu jer mi savrseno odgovara - spadam i tu i tamo, po razlicitim osnovima.

Pa, da znas da se nadam i nagovaram da bude bas tvoja koleginica - hteo bih da izabere specijalizaciju u patologiji ili, alternativno, fizijatriji. Zasto? Pa, zato jer nema hitnih slucajeva, nece te dizati iz postelje da radis nego imas normalno radno vreme... A situacija u tenisu je ludnica. Pobedom prosle godine se kvalifikovala za svetski univerzitetski sampionat (Univerzijada?) koji je trebalo da se ove godine odrzi u Beogradu. Zbog korone, to je otkazano i sada mudruju da li, kako i kada da to odrze. Ovogodisnjom pobedom se kvalifikovala za isti takav svetski sampionat koji ce se (ako bude srece) odrzati sledece godine u Madridu. Ali meni je sve to sumnjivo, mislim da nece biti postenog sampionata dok se ne pronadje vakcina. Ko zna kakve ce biti restrikcije za razne drzave i putovanja. Djokovica pljuju zbog Adria-tour, mada ja mislim da je tenis bio OK ali ono ludovanje i slavlje i skakanje po stolovima nije. A Tiafoe je ovde igrao sa pozitivnim nalazom i nikome nista. Za decu je to OK, nije bitno ako preskoce godinu. Sranje je za starije. Recimo, Federer je mozda imao realnu sansu da ove godine osvoji svoj poslednji Wimbledon. Sledece godine, manje. Ako se bilo sta odrzi ove godine, nece biti fer jer nece sudelovati svi koji bi trebali.

Jebiga, nastran sam (OK, manijak). VolEm da cackam i konstruisem. U zivotu sam sredio/preuredio nekoliko auta ali se najvise bavim motociklima.

Jbg, da se malo hvalisem... Prvo, background: mi smo, kao, Ameri, ali cerka rodjena u USA ima dva drzavljanstva. Studira medicinu u domaji jer ne kosta nista a ovde bi bilo 50 do 100 hiljada $ godisnje, zavisno o univerzitetu. I igra tenis, majstorski. Ovi ludjaci u 'Rvackoj su uprkos koroni i svemu organizovali i odrzali drzavni univerzitetski sampionat. Mada, skratili su meceve na samo jedan set. I tako je moje dete (tri godine za redom!) univerzitetska sampionka drzave. Evo je sa ekipom, skroz desno: Ako nekoga interesuje vise (ima i dosta fotki), ovde:

(bold moj) Dragi Vjekoslave, ispricavam se unaprijed sto sam picajzla. No, boldovano me smeta. Nema toga puno kod tebe, rijetko ti se desi, ali me strasno iritira u medijima. Pretjerivanje sa ijekavicom i gdje treba i gdje ne treba. Smeta me zato sto to dozivljavam kao jedan oblik nacionalizma/sovinizma, tj. nastojanje da se hrvatski jezik cim vise razlikuje od srpskog. U citiranoj recenici, ovako. Ili imamo dva svrsena glagola, ili dva nesvrsena. Dakle, ako je IZgubio, onda je podlEgao. Ako je samo gubio, onda je podlIJEgao. Zato sto je lijegati nesvrseni glagol i moze trajati dugo, a leci/legnuti svrseni glagol kojem se zna kraj. Makar se citirana recenica moze procitati i kao korektna, u smislu da je citavo vrijeme podlIJEgao - da bi na kraju podlegao. Jos jednom, isprika zbog sitnicarenja - jer je citav post sasvim korektan.
