"When I got this sword, it was completely covered in blood rust.†Sword maker Francis Boyd is showing me yet another weapon pulled from yet another safe in the heavily fortified workshop behind his northern California home."You can tell it’s blood,†he says matter-of-factly, "because ordinary rust turns the grinding water brown. If it’s blood rust it bleeds, it looks like blood in the water. Even 2,000 years old, it bleeds. And it smells like a steak cooking, like cooked meat. I’ve encountered this before with Japanese swords from World War II. If there’s blood on the sword and you start polishing it, the sword bleeds. It comes with the territory"

One of these days I'm gonna get me a full suit of winged hussar armor - and wear it whenever I go out riding my motorcycle.
That's nice and all WD but I'd wear it to the grocery. Or maybe Mass.
Yeah, that's it Mass. With no mask.

So, now we know why Osama Bin Laden attacked the United States on September 11.
Because . . . err . . . Some Polish men who were part of the troops that saved Europe on that day emigrated to North America and 318 years later were working for Cantor Fitzgerald in the World Trade Center?
Hmmm . . .
So, maybe Osama Bin Laden was a dumbass as well as a Terr'rist.

When I was 8, I met my great grandmother, who I only knew as "Bapka", which is sorta Polish for Grandmother (I'm told). She was so old that she could barely move, but she roused herself to make Golumpkis for us, cussing at us in Polish the whole time, but with a sly grin on her face and giving us a lot of eyes-twinkling side eye. She was really cool for a super old person.

The motor size limit on our lake is 9.9, but it doesn't say anything about how many 9.9 motors you can have. I'm thinking of rigging both of them onto the back of the jon boat (not really). Twin 9.9s, baby, I'll rule the lake! Gonna spend all summer on the lake, just me, my girl and my Johnson.
Swap the carbs and a few other parts, and those 9.9s become 15s. Twin 15s, baby!

Problem with halon is that it puts fires out but also kills everyone in the room if they don't evacuate the moment the alarm goes off.

182 However, water systems destroy everything in the data center.Not as thoroughly as fire though.
We have four servers in that datacenter at my day job, those are all back up now. They estimate that less than 10% of their servers were affected by water, but that's still a couple of thousand systems. (Maybe more, I'm guessing by the IDs of my servers.)
And generators shouldn't be in the data center room.That's for damn sure. I don't think they were actually in the server room since the fire didn't affect any servers directly, but they should have been in their own outbuilding with its own fire control system.

Change the fluids, plugs, and wires. You're probably good to go. Those old Johnson outboards are built crazy-good. I once saw a smaller one that dunked into salt water for 24 hours, then just sat for a year, and with minor maintenance, it ran again.
Now, the paint sucked pretty bad, but it was amazing to hear it run again after what it was put through.

About the current blogware:
In the Before Time, when I'm too behind on threads to scan all the comments, I will just search for "http" to find all the great links AoSHQers post.
This doesn't work when folks leave off the "http" (and I think I read that's how TinyURL is serving them up now), but it caught anything with it.
NOW, however, folks can create actual hot links (welcome to the 21st Century), so an http doesn't show up. There's nothing that explicitly distinguishes these links, because commenters can use color and underline which likes link a look.
ALSO, all the nics are in red, so you have to hover over each one to see if it's a link.
That's okay, though. I have plenty of time to quickly eyeball every comment and hover over every nic on every thread.
Not complaining so much as lamenting. The Horde has always provided a rich field of links. The Olde Wayze were easier to link-search.
End mild rant.

No way. X-15 did less than a quarter of that. The space shuttle did less on reentry. And currently, government regulations on noise levels are the biggest hurdle for greater than Mach 1 commercial flight.
Now commercial space travel? Sure. But that's not something I or anyone else that isn't empty-headed would designate as "air"craft.

First of all, the gas there was not Halon, but another one, some sort of refrigerant that was a good fire suppression agent. And most importantly, some idiot triggered it on submerged submarine. The victims died from oxygen depletion and severe frost bite. It was a massive release.
There are protocols in place which include everyone donning breathing equipment when the fire suppression system goes off. None of those were followed -- it was some sort of sea trial and they had lots of civilians on board.

A couple of assholes hang out in front of 7-Eleven and say, "Hey man! Give me some money! Buy me a Coke!"
To which I reply, "I need some money." Or usually, a hale and hearty "Fuck off!"
There's been a girl sleeping on the sidewalk in front of the dog park. It's kind of covered and sheltered, under the overpass, but right there on the sidewalk. She's usually crashed out while I'm walking Rhubarb Doggo, and I'm through there about 4 or 5 times a day. Always curled up in a blanket. Today she was up, and I saw her crossing Canton street headed down Good-Latimer. God told me to give her a 20, and I ignored the prompting. Until I met up with her on the corner.
Normally, the homeless don't approach Rhubarb Doggo, because she doesn't cotton to bullshit, and brooks no fuckheadery. She will bark and snarl at sketchy fucks, as it should be. She is a Good Dog.
Homeless girl says, "Sir, do you have a dollar so I get something to eat?"
God says, "You got a 20, give it up, shithead."
So yeah, Rhubarb says, "No, I don't have dollar. All I got is this 20. Here. Have a good day. "
I got a "thank you so much", but I was sad because that lovely girl, probably in her 20's but looks like she was pushing 40 because hard living, was probably going to go get a 7-Eleven burrito and then get high, and probably have to give some fuckhead a beej when she was short.

As that demonstrated, Halo does not put out a fire by displacing O2. It works by chemically disrupting the combustion.

I saw one young woman the other day, with a dude, hanging by the doggo park - transients - haven't seen them before or since. The girl was attractive, and still looked decent, but the dude was a literally raging fuckhead - shouting and bitching at her. Probably abusive.
But, yes...although there are about three regular dudes who are straight-up crackheads. Most of the girls in that situation look terrible. Today's girl didn't look too bad, but she was rough.

I had a friend who was in the Army, a FIST officer, who also ran some SPA M109 artillery. They were on the firing line one day, firing the 155's in sequence, and then one of the guns didn't fire, the hatches flew open and the crew just SCATTED!! Bad 155 round. He and his platoon sergeant went into the M109 and were talking about who was going to open the breech. He finally did, and they got the dud round out. He was scared shitless doing that, because it could have fired when they opened the breech.

Case in point. Fire pumps. Electrical protection for such pumps had a minimum fuse/overload protection required to handle locked-rotor current of the motor continuously. What, that would let an overloaded, stalled seized motor burn up and perhaps start a fire!
Well, if there already is a fire, you want that fire pump to run and pump whatever water it can. You don't care if the thing stalls and fails. There is already a fire.

The panhandlers around here are mostly Native, mostly drunk, although there are some tweakers and I'm told it's worse in Wasilla for that. They all have impressive winter wear, often nicer than mine, including good boots and hats and mittens. They work a corner and then pass out once they have enough for a snort. They walk right up to your car in the parking lot at the grocery store and wait for you to get out so they can look you in the eye.
I never give them a dime. I take food donations down to Bean's Cafe, which feeds the homeless, and I take clothing donations down to Brother Francis Shelter, but not one dime for drugs and drink. I suppose I'm one hard-assed bitch for that. So be it.

Can't imagine that situation with the gun in an M109.
Only duds I've ever had with reloads have been in the 30 carbine. I think the primers don't seat fully - but those fire on second strike (first strike just fully seats the primer). Tight primer pockets on some Lake City brass (never used prior to my loading it) might also explain it, prevents primers from fully seating.

To be fair to the Holy Spirit, I was paraphrasing - but, His voice is usually clear, understandable, and in language to which I relate. I can ignore it, or discount it, but I can't claim I didn't hear or understand it. God, when he speaks - at least to me - doesn't do so with trumpets and fanfare and scary angels that have to say, "Fear not!".
No, usually, it's a quiet, plain-spoken, unambiguous message.

And in reading, there are inert gas fire suppression systems being used in datacenters. And these indeed displace the oxygen and would be an asphyxiation hazard for anyone. But yet they are used, and legal. I'm sure there are all sorts of rules and protocols, but they are indeed used in big datacenter applications.

This is typically my philosophy as well. This morning was different. Usually, if I have the doggo, they don't even approach. In fact, she will bark and warn me, and they run away. But doggo is one of the best-behaved, well-trained dog down here. Gentle, but protective. Decent people are allowed to approach, pet, and love. She is a good judge of character.
The doggo approved of this one. And God. I think the two talk amongst themselves, and then decide what I need to do.

Saw that Galaxy Quest, complete, was online and free. Watched the bit about finding the byrellium sphere that ends with the Commander saying, "Let's do that!" One of so many great lines.
On a lark, I searched YT on My Cousin Vinnie. Saw a clip where "Ms. Vito" flummoxes the prosecutor by displaying her impressive knowledge.
Then, in the YT sidebar, I see the entire movie is online and free. Milady and I cheated and picked it up at the beginning of the prosecutor's case, and watched to the end. Such a great flick.
Also, in the YT sidebar, I saw that The Mask is available, for purchase or rent. Really? Galaxy Quest and My Cousin Vinnie are free, but they want me to pay to watch The Mask? This does not speak well of humanity.

And I can see how this might be what tends to perpetuate the myths that these systems are dangerous. You're doing a cold hard risk vs cost calculation. You don't want to say, I'll just go with the sprinkler systems 'cause it's much cheaper. If it has to activate, then it will cause a lot of problems for my customers. Damage to data, downtime, etc. But I'll take that risk. But if you can tell yourself, hey those clean agent systems are dangerous, man, that allows one to justify it in a much more noble manner.

With kielbasa and sauerkraut on the side, and a stick of butter melted on top of the whole thing.
Posted by: Sharkman
I make a kielbasa bake every few months:
Steam some chopped carrots, green beans, cabbage, onions, and add them to a metal bake dish with a cup of apple sauce and some chicken bullion.
Top with chopped kielbasa, stick it under the broiler, turning the kiel when browned on top.
Brown up some bread crumbs in butter in a sauté pan, add to the top of the dish with some chili flake.
Serve with brown or rye bread, butter, and some balsamic vinegar on the table. Easy as heck.

Fuck Alberta. My wife is from there, and she always refers to it as "Canada's Texas", but they just locked down AGAIN, for no real reason that I can see. My oldest son, Big, is in Calgary, trying his damndest to get his life on track, and folks like AoP have been a big help. He works as a cook, and he got a really good job about 6 weeks ago, everything was finally coming together for him. For the first time in oh, maybe 5 years, he was self supporting. And now, because of the lockdown, he's laid off again. I swear to fucking Og that I'm ready to scream at the sky over this. And Alberta has a supposedly "conservative" government too. Fuck those assholes up the ass with a rusty chainsaw. Sideways. How can I, as a father, teach him how to be an adult if they keep ripping the rug out from under him every time he makes even the tiniest progress towards being one? I'm about ready to just tell him "go on unemployment, pay your bills and spend the rest on weed. What the fuck else do you have to look forward to?"

You see him in a booth, breathing and getting along just fine, with Halon gas at the required concentration of 5%. He's doing just fine, but the flame from a lighter goes out immediately.
The reason Halon was banned was because it was an ozone depleting gas, like Freon-12 and the like.
Halon and its modern equivalents are non-toxic, do not deplete oxygen, and are the best fire suppression method to date.

Of course, "ozone depletion" was bullshit, and always will be. If the so-called "ozone-depleting gases" are mainly released at mid latitudes, why does the "ozone hole" occur only over Antarctica in the Southern hemisphere winter? Maybe because the local insolation is too weak, and at too low an angle to create much ozone at high southern latitudes, ya think?
The only real risk with chlorinated/fluorinated hydrocarbons as fire suppressants is that in sufficiently hot fires, they can break down, and release phosgene, CoCl2 as a combustion product. That stuff will kill you dead. I have made it, inadvertently, by spraying chlorinated brake cleaner into a running engine. Bad juju.

Have a wonderful day, and I'll see you all later from mom's. (Really hoping in the gray boxes)

You know how when you put the word "social" before a word it negates it. Lets make a list. So far I have Social Justice, Social Security, Social Studies. Social Science, Social Equity, and (you will love this one) Social Hygiene (that's what Sex Ed. was called in California public schools in 1967).

*thinks for a second, goes to book shelf*
Yep. 'Racial Hygiene'. A book for a class in college about the use of 'science' to prop up the Nazi's racial 'theories.' Politicization of science anyone?
Thanks for the ONT, btw. Did not mean to go full Godwin right after waking up, but anything paired with 'hygiene' except 'good' and 'bad' always makes me think of that book for some reason.

We see USA Republic lying face up on the bridge of the Enterprise. McCoy is working on him.
Clear!!! Bzzz. Bzzz. Bzzz. He's dead Jim.
I aver that with Biden's comment on the 2nd Amendment, as stupid as it is, the US of A is over. Because there is no agreeing to becoming a Fascist, Kleptocracy with Oligarchical and Totalitarian tendencies.
And they Hate cultural Americans. Them over us. And that is not my thing.

If it works, why not? BBQ sauce, Worcestershire, relish on a hot dog all add a touch of sweetness.

May every light turn green as you approach.
However, head on a swivel, and have a Mattis plan.
