LEGO: Pandemic Panic Set #17654 -- December 24, 2020

For tonight only. This photo will be a stand-alone tonight but will eventually move to another spot on the blog. 

A huge "thank you" to a reader. I had not see this before. 



Christmas Adam -- 2020

Link here for Spanish ham:  Jamón Serrano & Jamón Ibérico.

If you had to pick just one food to eat for the rest of your life, what would it be? I know what I’d go for: Spanish ham. 
In Spain, there’s nothing quite as important as ham. 
It’s bigger than religion, bigger than football, and goes beyond just a regular obsession. This isn’t just food, it’s life. Don’t believe me? Just ask a local! All you need to do is mention jamón ibérico to a Spaniard and you’ll see their eyes glaze over and their mouth salivate. But what’s the big deal? Locals might lose their minds for this stuff, but why? And what do you need to know before you get to Spain and start ordering your own ham at a bar? If you go to a restaurant you’ll see up to three or four kinds of Spanish ham on the menu, with prices ranging from five euros a kilo to over 100 euros a kilo! So what’s the difference, and is it worth it?

I’m going to try and answer all these questions (and more!). So let’s dive into the delicious world of Spanish ham, with this guide to all things jamón serrano and jamón ibérico.   

My 20-year-old nephew Connor shared this with me last night. It was truly incredible.


 The special stand cost extra but he won't need to buy another one in the future.

Winter Storm -- December 24, 2020

**********************************
Why Not? It Doesn't Fit The Narrative

The Dollar -- December 24, 2020

For the dollar, it appears the number to watch: 90. 

From twitter today:

Summary, Trading Economics

The dollar index remained below 90.5 in the fourth week of December, stronger than an over 2-1/2-year low of 89.80 touched in the previous week but much weaker than the 100 mark reached in the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic
Prospects of a swift economic recovery in 2021 as the Covid-19 vaccine rollout started, a new fiscal stimulus bill, bets the Fed will keep its monetary policy ultra-accommodative and prospects the EU and the UK will finally reach a post-Brexit trade deal have been raising investors risk-appetite, pushing the dollar down
Still, concerns about the new coronavirus strain have prevented further losses. 
Comment: one wonders what a "major" shooting war in the Mideast would do? Or for that matter, a "major conflict" involving China with some other country?
 

US dollar index, wiki:

It is a weighted geometric mean of the dollar's value relative to following select currencies:
  • Euro (EUR), 57.6% weight
  • Japanese yen (JPY) 13.6% weight 
  • Pound sterling (GBP), 11.9% weight 
  • Canadian dollar (CAD), 9.1% weight 
  • Swedish krona (SEK), 4.2% weight 
  • Swiss franc (CHF) 3.6% weight
From Investopedia:
The U.S. dollar index has risen and fallen sharply throughout its history, reaching its high point in February 1985 with a value of 164.72 and its low point in March 2008 with a value of 70.698. As of March 25, 2020, the index carried a value of 100.35, meaning that the U.S. dollar has depreciated versus the basket of currencies since 1985 but is roughly equal to its starting value in 1973. The index is greatly affected by macroeconomic factors, including inflation/deflation in the dollar and foreign currencies included in the comparable basket, as well as recessions and economic growth in those countries. 
The contents of the basket of currencies have only been changed once since the index started when the Euro replaced many European currencies previously in the index in 1999 such as Germany's predecessor currency, the Deutschemark. In the coming years, it is likely currencies will be replaced as the index strives to represent major U.S. trading partners. It is likely in the future that currencies such as the Chinese yuan (CNY) and Mexican peso (MXN) will supplant other currencies in the index due to China and Mexico being major trading partners with the United States.

Time To Call In The Feds On A "Civil Rights" Issue? December 24, 2020

Updates

December 29, 2020: today we learn two things -- whatever the attorney general hit, that "thing" was carrying come "kind of light." Unless it was Rudolph's red nose .... 

The second thing we learn is that authorities are perplexed about some kind of strange item in the middle of the road "which might help explain where where the vehicle was when it hit "something." It will be interesting if we learn that the victim was walking against trhw raffic on the other side of the road. In other words, when the "mishap" occurred, on what side of the road was the vehicle?

December 26, 2020: link here -- New York Daily News. First public comments by Ravnsborg since story broke. Parse  his statement: "I believe I have not committed any crime."

  • Question: how many times have you immediately phoned 911 after hitting an animal on the highway? Ravnsborg: said he immediately phoned 911 that he hit something and that it was in the middle of the road.
  • Question: how many speeding tickets have you received in any given five-year period? He has several driving violations on his record, ABC News reported, pleading guilty to speeding six times between 2014 and 2018, paying fines of $19 to $79. And, of course, that's just the ones where he's been caught, cited, and reported.
  • A speeding ticket in SD typically adds two points to a motorist's driving record. Any driver who accrues 15 points in twelve consecutive months is subject to suspension.

Original Post

The last time we updated this story we were told that a decision on charges might come before Christmas. That was two weeks ago. 

Most recent: Governor Noem is finally weighing in -- "this is a disservice to the victim's family." 

From the [Sioux Falls] Argus Leader:

The governor isn't happy that South Dakotans still don't know if their attorney general will be charged criminally for killing a pedestrian while driving through Highmore more than 100 days ago.

Gov. Kristi Noem this week expressed her displeasure with the failure of the Hyde County State's Attorney's Office to determine whether South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg should be indicted after he struck and killed 55-year-old Joe Boever on the evening of Sept. 12.

"I share South Dakotans' frustration about the amount of time that has taken," she said in a statement to the Argus Leader. "To have more than 100 days go by without resolution on this is a disservice to the victim's family."

Seesaw -- December 24, 2020

Updates

May 31, 2022: free streaming.

January 22, 2022: Netflix collapses. Simply too much competition and now critics are saying Netflix paid too much for "content."

Original Post 

For remote learners in north Texas, there are three major tech components: an iPad (Apple, Inc); WebEx (Cisco); and Seesaw.

Let's do a few minutes of sleuthing -- from where did Seesaw come?

Link here.

  • founded by Adrian Graham and Carl Sjogreen, San Francisco, CA, 2013
  • well before the pandemic

From the Seesaw site:

The Seesaw platform allows students to learn and engage in creative educational activities while giving teachers and parents insight to each students progress and thinking. 
Students are able to annotate & draw, record captions with text or voice, create collages, add labels & text, and add shapes & backgrounds to their learning materials.
