I think every single birder and sportsman in the West should Civil Sue those bastards for every penny they have or will ever make. And their commercial supporters, too.
That's why I'm not watching…pretty much know their positions. But it's good for them to have more exposure before the people el Rushbo and his adherents call "low information voters." I can't credit it personally but have heard there are people who don't watch Fox News or MSNBC. They must be thinking, "This is the most boring episode of 'American Idol' ever."
Okay, I've got a shower stall with a slate floor that nobody really cleaned for a coupla years, and its got white scale/soap scum all over it. It's so calcified that you can take it off with a paint scraper, but the surface is rough and slate is kind of delicate. Over the past two days I've tried window cleaner (might worked, who knows?) a poultice of bleach and baking soda, various commercial products, and finally ammonia and baking soda, which nearly took me out. (And would have if I'd followed some helpful web advice to mix bleach and ammonia).
No luck so far, despite assidous scrubbing, swabbing, gasping for fresh air. Any suggestions? Prospective tenants are understandably a bit grossed out.
What, this isn't the household hint hotline? Sorry!
Everything I read says you don't want to use acid on stone, particularly soft porous stone like slate. Ammonia is plenty caustic, but the opposite pH, right?
Vinegar (the white stuff) is Acetic acid, from 5% up to 20%. That "scale" is dried minerals – calcium, mag, some other stuff – from the hard water and you need acid to mobilize it. Pour it on, let it fizz for a bit , then scrub. I think the slate will be fine, if you rinse it well afterwards. Limestone would be a problem, as the acid will eat that right up. There's buildings made of mined compacted coral (Bermuda) that are literally melting in the (acid) rain.
Vinegar, to start. Scale up to Muriatic if you have to. Don't forget the eye protection, respirator & ventilation.
Bernie's Righteously Indignant and comes off as absolutely genuine. That's a tough nut to crack when there's so many Americans who are equally as righteously indignant.
What, Big Business again? When are they going to talk about Mexico building the wall, carpet bombing the entire Middle East, making birth control illegal and winning the War on Christmas?
Both just said they're not sure when they'll pull out troops. And honestly… Considering we have no idea of the situation as of January 2017, that's probably not a terrible thing.
Yeah, Hilz is the most experienced, tested, competent person on either stage right now. He can't touch that and needs to establish his own cred, somehow.
Rachel brought it up, she said the Koch heads want to privatize the VA. Hillz and Bern are both, understandably, against that. I'm guessing they're against stupidity in general.
He is not in the same league as Rachel. He goes for the shallow, sensational issues. Frustrating because they can give canned answers to those questions which doesn't do a service to us viewers.

Snyder should be in jail. They won't say that because calling for a sitting governor to go to jail would cause a huge controversy but I have a feeling a lot of people are thinking it.
Flint's highly unionized, which I think is also a huge factor. Don't want to help political enemies, after all, let's just let them deal with their lead!
That started ugly then got a lot nicer later. Much, much better overall than anything the Republicans give. They gave real answers on issues and everything!
The real question: Will Bernie win and take NH by 25 or will Hillary win to make Bernie take NH by 15 instead? NO PRESSURE
I'm rooting for that nice Lincoln O'Malley fellow…

Sadly, work prevents me from watching this one with you all as well. But I'll be here for the Saturday night
freak showGOP debate!Welcome to 2016, year of a million live-blog!
Annnnd Heeere we go!
FUCK TOAD
More or less hate-able than David Gregory?
You know, that's a tough one. Maybe a coin flip?
How do you live-blog something when you've heard every single thing so far in past debates?
Debbie, izzat you?
That's why I'm not watching…pretty much know their positions. But it's good for them to have more exposure before the people el Rushbo and his adherents call "low information voters."

ibid.
[remember to put a white background on the CC or it'll look like everything has been redacted.]
Damn it, you two, you're both progressive, stop trying to claim the other isn't.
Everyone loves Obama!
The Democratic debates are OK, but the Republican ones really give me that jolt of fear, loathing, rage & nausea I crave.
Bernie does seem to go on a bit .
Hillary: I have scars! Wanna see 'em?
Bernie: Uh, no.
Did they just both attack MSNBC? I think they attacked MSNBC.
Okay, that was a pretty awful question, wtf was that? Why are we bringing up an election from 1988?
Someone has fixed Bernie's hair.
Help am I not a normal American anymore
I'm proudly abnormal.
You have the support of Guv's etc…….Bernie has voters……….
You were asking for that one Hillz…….
This entire debate
Sanders: I'm the real liberal!
Clinton: I can actually do things that are liberal enough!
She played right into his hand.
On the other hand…….Hillz rightly a little riled up there.
Either call me corrupt, or STFU.
Oh this is getting ugly in a hurry.
I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS AT ALL HELP

Acid. Definitely need acid.
Everything I read says you don't want to use acid on stone, particularly soft porous stone like slate. Ammonia is plenty caustic, but the opposite pH, right?
Well, I remember cleaning / smoothing slate table tops with …….some dilute acid….muriatic? Pool acid?
Probably don't wanna let it sit there though. I'm sure our resident chemists and engineers will know best.

Household hint: DO NOT MIX BLEACH AND AMMONIA.
Edit: for the soap residue, you might try hydrogen peroxide.

Chuck Todd: "We're going to beat the question up." LMAO
"Woah, we've obviously touched a nerve there. We're going to commercial now, but when we come back we're gonna flog the shit out of this!"
Bernie's Righteously Indignant and comes off as absolutely genuine. That's a tough nut to crack when there's so many Americans who are equally as righteously indignant.
Donations are different than speaking fees, tbh
Wall Street! They will be Eaten last
<img src="http://www.deepseanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/gif-squid-humboldt.gif"/>
Let's fix these drug laws, absolutely!
Good. Bernie had a chance to escalate, but didn't, Q was about Hillz, again and he went to general Wall Street BAD.
Teddy Roosevelt! We need a Bernie Moose party!
No Toad, that's not much of a different topic.
Is he surrounded by people telling him he's brilliant, or what?
Toad-heads?
Suck-Toads
I thought politicians weren't allowed to know things, why are both of these people talking about important topics?
Tomorrow's headline somewhere: Bernie has Corporate Enemies List.
What, Big Business again? When are they going to talk about Mexico building the wall, carpet bombing the entire Middle East, making birth control illegal and winning the War on Christmas?
So are they splitting domestic and foreign issues 50-50 today? I like it.
Can you imagine any of the Republican contenders going into this kind of detail about anything?
Troops in Afghan, Bernie, the question was about existing troops in Afghan
Don't make me defend Toad.
Both just said they're not sure when they'll pull out troops. And honestly… Considering we have no idea of the situation as of January 2017, that's probably not a terrible thing.
Okay, wait and see Hillz, but it'll still be a clusterfuck in Afghan. anyway.
Bernie, you're going to have to use more than one vote in 2002 to win on foreign policy. It just can't be the only selling point.
Yeah, Hilz is the most experienced, tested, competent person on either stage right now. He can't touch that and needs to establish his own cred, somehow.
I just got here. Is it, erm, heated? Is Bernie using his indoor voice?
Neither used it for the first 40 minutes. Things seem to be much calmer now.
There's been some yelling, and "Whoa's" from the audience. Bernie wants a revolution, and Hillz' all like "Look, guys, I got this."
Toad: "Which one of these three choices are the Baddest?
Bernie: All Of Them, Katie.
Privatize the VA? WTF? Privatize?!?!
They want to privatize everything!
Privatize this.
It's about as popular with actual veterans as you'd expect.
Yeah, I din't like that 'which is greatest threat question.'
That's Bush Doctrine speak.
Seriously.
Snorting Koch?
Speaking of being bought out, let's look at the Republicans!
Republican$.
Missed who asked that privatize question?
Rachel, I think?
Ok. So sorta a gimme to bash the R. Good.
Rachel brought it up, she said the Koch heads want to privatize the VA. Hillz and Bern are both, understandably, against that. I'm guessing they're against stupidity in general.
Koch brothers are trying to defund the Columbus Zoo, because they are really that obsessed with conservatism.
They're lunatics. Honestly.
Seriously, why do they care? Making a point of opposing every tax increase anywhere? I'd be super pissed off if I were local.
Trying to poison the views of people. Lie to them enough and they might actually believe you're right!
You know who else that worked for?
George W. Bush?
*ding*
He's trying to cause some stupid fighting again. Fuck Chuck Todd.
He is not in the same league as Rachel. He goes for the shallow, sensational issues. Frustrating because they can give canned answers to those questions which doesn't do a service to us viewers.
Fact: Coin flips added up to less than one state delegate and Hillary won by 6.
Hillz: "Eh, whatever they want to do, it's fine."
Bernie made a joke.
I think.
Oooh, Rachel, that's a good question.
Um…. Bernie? You're cherrypicking here. Badly.
Rachel: "Bernie, are you too Far Out to win, man?"
Bernie: "Hey, all the cool kids like me."
I hope so, Bernie.
[sorry, context was voter turnout]
Whoever wins between these two will annoy the shit out of Ohio. I can promise this.
Excellent.
EMAILS
EMAILZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
"This EMAIL thing, we know it's all bullshit but everyone's still talking about it so it's still a scandal, right?"
"Our Nielson meters shoot way up when we bring it up, so would you please comment on your e-mails again?"
Here's a transcript of Chuck Todd's questions

Fantastic. Needz moar chinbeard gif.
THis Email "Scandal" is the perfect Toad question.
Culinary union impersonators is the weakest scandal since the Lincoln Chafee $1.99 koi pond.
"Secretary Clinton, do you want 30 seconds on this issue?"
"No."
Friends now?
"Secretary Clinton, do you want to score a few political points with my gratuitous set up of an ultimately banal and meaningless mini-scandal?"
"No."
*cough*Texas*cough*

You owe me a coke
As soon as it warms up there, I'll send you one.
[is that allowed USPS ?]
Well, people get fish in the mail so it must be.
Would you rather have a fish.?
we could change the whole blog-phrase to "You owe me a fish"
Done!
The correct answer is "Fuck Ted Cruz"
Flint's coming up, this'll be good!
Flint. Go get these fuckers, you two.
I don't think these two are going to disagree on this one.
Lemme know who says '…and prosecute….'
Snyder should be in jail. They won't say that because calling for a sitting governor to go to jail would cause a huge controversy but I have a feeling a lot of people are thinking it.
I think the FBI will be unearthing some unbelievably bad things.
Here, let me : Criminals We're talking about criminals.
Bernie sounds as angry about this as I feel. I don't think I'm the only one.
Flint's highly unionized, which I think is also a huge factor. Don't want to help political enemies, after all, let's just let them deal with their lead!
That's not hugging Bamz, you two.
Bernie just basically told Todd to shut the fuck up. Awesome.
It's about time.
Almost over!

Is.

In the responses to his tweet:
<img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Caa1LKDUMAIbARC.jpg" width="425" height="282" />
Chuck Todd is a vacuous creature. He asks the lamest questions. This does little to help voters.
What about "I don't accept the premise of your question" did you not understand?
#1 needs to be the Supreme Court so we don't have the Republicans making every ruling for the next 20 years.
Fuck yeah
Get rekt, Rick Perry
Let's get rid of the Department of Redundancy Department!
Henry Kissinger! *spits*
I just realized: no bells, no silly timers.
We're civilized, on this side of the aisle.
GOP debates: MORE COWBELL!
These are Parade Magazine questions, Chuckles.
And he's just the perfect guy to give them!
It's February. Why do we need to talk about Vice Presidents? We have until July.
They agreed on being better than the Republicans! Fuck yeah!
"on our worst days, we're 100 times better than any Republican candidate."
This. This is the distillation of the entire debate cycle .
Bernie won't forget Poland!
That started ugly then got a lot nicer later. Much, much better overall than anything the Republicans give. They gave real answers on issues and everything!
Funny how after a Dem debate I feel energized while after a Rep debate I feel frustrated and angry and disempowered.
It's like I like both the person I want to win but also like the other one too! It's amazing!
I knows! I kinda want to see them go to the prom together.
YAY

Wouldn't it be great if these two were running and we could have rational discussions instead of dealing with Trump, Cruz, Rubio, et. ad. nauseum?
Sounds like a nice alternate universe.
The one where Hillary is perceived as a right-winger?
No, wait….
They still have that box of assorted dildos tho?
