— Maetenloch

I'm out and about so tonight's gonna be a DIY edition.

cat-saturday-19.jpg
But if you do need some discussion topics du nuit, here are a couple to start you off:

1. The Holy Roman Empire - what the hell was it?
2. If the police found your headless body, how would they identify you?
3. How come the moon produces two tides a day instead of just one?

Tonight's post brought to you by relaxin':

2 1. The Holy Roman Empire - what the hell was it?

This agglomeration which was called and which still calls itself the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.

16 The Holy Roman Empire was geopolitical fan fiction. Everyone loved the long-running Roman Empire and its spinoff the Byzantine Empire, but fans in northern Europe couldn't get the original episodes after the fifth century A.D., so they came up with their own. Like most fan fiction it was rambling, poorly organized, and ultimately ran out of steam.

The Moon doesn't cause the tides, it causes the low spots in the middle that creates the tides on the edges. It happens twice because the water has been trained to anticipate the blow.

32 There are two tides because the side of the earth that is nearest the moon is moving slower than it needs to be in order to orbit at that distance so it falls a little bit toward the moon. The side of the earth that is farthest from the moon is moving faster than it needs to be to orbit at that distance so it is thrown a little bit away from the moon.

35 There are two high tides per day because the oceans bulge outward on the side of the Earth facing towards the Moon and the side of the Earth  facing away from the Moon.  The Earth and Moon fall towards each other as they orbit one another (around a point called the barycenter, located inside, but not at the center, of the Earth).  The oceans on the side of the Earth facing the Moon are a little bit closer to the Moon than the Earth itself, so the oceans fall a little faster and pull ahead of the Earth, creating a tidal bulge on the near side.  On the side of the Earth facing away from the Moon, the Earth itself is a little bit closer, so it falls a little faster than the oceans on the far side.  This creates a space into which water can flow, creating the tidal bulge on the far side.  With two bulges of water, and the Earth's daily rotation, there are two high tides per day.  Actually, they are slightly longer than 12 hours apart for two reasons:  the Moon is orbiting the Earth, and the bulges move, chasing the Moon as it orbits, and the friction between the ocean and the rotating Earth pushes the bulges.

37 The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation was a complex amalgamation of disparate and often conflicting political systems. Growing, originally, out of the eastern third of Charlemagne's empire, the HRE managed to endure for nearly a millennium in some form or another, though religious and political divisions, loaded on top of general institutional sclerosis, eventually toppled it (with some help from Napoleon; interesting that it was effectively started and ended by the French).

So last night I mentioned a guy at work that had a pop up about viruses on his computer show up, and his wife bought the virus scanner.  Today I get there, he says everything is fine, and its legitimate, he had his nephew who does computer stuff look at it.  He told me the name of the software.  Antispyware 2012.  Go ahead and look it up if you want I'll wait.

 

 

I looked it up, and yup its exactly what I thought it was.  Every single link that pops up in a search is about how to remove this fake virus scanning program from you computer.

Posted by: NC Ref at January 16, 2012 05:59 PM (/izg2)

40 Okay, here's the deal on tides. You asked, so you're going to get it good and hard.

1. The Moon's gravity pulls on the Earth, just as the Earth pulls on the Moon. Everybody got that? Good.
2. The strength of gravity drops off with distance, so there's a difference in the strength of the Moon's gravity on this side of the Earth and 8,000 miles away on the other side of the Earth. Makes sense so far?
3. Okay, here's the tricky part. Because the Moon is pulling harder on one side than on the other, the Earth "feels" this as a net pull out in both directions. This is very hard for people to envision, but this is the core concept. This is because the Earth is falling toward the Moon all the time. Just as the Moon is falling toward the Earth and both are falling toward the Sun. They just have enough sideways motion to constantly miss. Since Earth is in free fall, a difference in the pull on different sides manifests as a net outward pull in both directions.
4.  Consequently you get a bulge on the side facing the Moon and a bulge on the opposite side.

Everybody got that?

120 The Holy Roman Empire was a central European confederation of mostly German principalities under non-hereditary sovereign who was granted his title, originally, by the pope.

Good answer, however, I much prefer 16

The Holy Roman Empire was geopolitical fan fiction. Everyone loved the long-running Roman Empire and its spinoff the Byzantine Empire, but fans in northern Europe couldn't get the original episodes after the fifth century A.D., so they came up with their own. Like most fan fiction it was rambling, poorly organized, and ultimately ran out of steam.

195 So I've been listening to a course on the Vikings, and the instructor is setting up the European situation before the rise of the Vikings.

There was more trade then I expected which wasn't a huge surprise. Nor was the biggest trade good a great surprise - slaves.

What was a surprise was that the Europeans were selling the slaves to...the Islamic states.

The Europeans would generally knock it off on converting to Christianity, but the Vikings would take over the trade, racking up fortunes to sate Islam's need for slaves.

I guess I just never put it all together before this point, but it makes a lot of sense. Who needed all these slaves in feudal Europe?

inside the starship

vette and her master entered the ship hangar after a long day of questing. she wore a rusted down shock collar that was fixated on her neck by imperialists after she was caught on korriban. her master, darth arthas, held the controller in his right hand, ready to use it at any given notice. they entered arthas' ship.

the shock collar suddenly went off. "that's what you get for running your mouth at that imperial agent back there. we could've gotten a hundred more credits if it weren't for you, you useless freak". little did he know that vette actually liked the pain. "Well if ya didn't take so long killing those spies near Hualk's Tomb, maybe he would've given us more money", Vette said, hoping to get shocked again. Arthas looked at her menacingly and pushed the button to set off her collar. He left her and walked to his room to rest before leaving for Tattoine.

"I've got to find a way to find that shock controller", vette thought to herself as she sat on her bed. She walked to Arthas' room and saw him sleeping, but he was still holding the controller to the shock collar. "Drat", Vette thought. She walked up to arthas and carefully moved her hands into position. Arthas' spider sense woke him up and he immediately pushed the button to shock her.

"What are you doing you filthy slave?", Arthas asked. "I'm glad I decided to leave the collar on. I wake up and find you standing over me. You weren't plan on killing me, where you?" Vette knew she was in trouble. She had to think fast. "Master, to be truthfully honest with you, I enjoy getting shocked. I was going to take the controller away from you to use, I wasn't going to hurt you or anything, I promise."

"I'm glad you're honest with me, Vette. I like that sort of thing too, since I'm a bad guy sith and all. He pushed the button and shocked her again. They undressed and made passionate love while the ship traveled to Tattoine. "Aren't you glad you were caught by the dark side, vette?", arthas uttered after the sex ended. "those jedi guys wouldn't even hold hands with you on the first date." vette laughed and took out a cigarette. "no smoking in the ship, Vette", Arthas said. He shocked her and checked the star map.

"I know a guy on Tattoine who can remove this rusty thing and put on a real nice shock collar for you that has twice the voltage, but it won't damage your body", Arthas mentioned. Vette said, "well if your ship wasn't such a P.O.S. we'd be there by now." He shocked her again.

The 30 Years War killed a significant portion of Germany's population, but that was a couple centuries before.

There was a war against Austria at about the same time, but it wasn't particularly bloody.

Unless you were Austrian if you're thinking about the 1866 Seven Weeks War versus Prussia.

Or even 1859 where during the war to unify Italy the Battle of Solferino between the Franco-Sardinian/Piedmontese versus the Austrians would inspire Dunant to setup the Red Cross and establish the Geneva Conventions.

252 Evenin', all. I could use some advice, please, if anyone is up for it. So I'm on the board of this great (until now) group at my school that does work with disabled kids, like we volunteer with them and have fundraisers for them and stuff like that. But the leftist march through the institutions being what it is, and since lefties love them some speech codes, the latest thing now is at least one of the other board members really wants to start a campaign against the 'r word' and ban it from the school (it's a med school and in some of our lectures, the profs talk about certain problems during pregnancy that can lead to someone being born retarded), and just in general make a whole big politically correct hate speech campaign out of it. The meeting with the other board members is tomorrow, and so far I'm the only one who has objected to this idea, so it doesn't look good for free speech.

so, any suggestions? any arguments beside 'this is america, dammit,' 'speech codes are super creepy,' and 'oh come on just man up for crying out loud'? And if it were you and they did this, would you quit the group, or would you keep on doing the good things (the volunteering, which I love) and just take no personal role in the other crap?

my foster kid was mildly brain damaged.

I think stupid and freak are also bad words, much worse than retarded. I use retarded all the time, as in "Dont be so retarded!" Usually aimed at Grim being a stupid guy.

do i think dumb speech codes are required? no.

if people are being civil, using the proper word in a situation of normal discourse is the best thing. we need clarity. those lefties are retarded.

287 Adrian: We have three chirren, who have what we call, developmental disabilities. The oldest is 46, the next is 24, the youngest is 13. All are adopted. We avoided the R word out of respect for the chirren. At home and at school they got enough of that, even from their non DD sibs.

I know what you mean about adult support groups. It's always about the members and rarely, if ever, about the kids. When the better part of such meeting is about by laws and grants, you're probably in the wrong place. Bride and I spent several years figuring out we were in the wrong place.

Put the interests of the kids 1st. Forget the rest of hive mind crap. Most of the do gooders I run across in  these groups are effing retarded and not in a nice way. They care not about the needs of DDs, but only about how how life is so cruel and how can 'we get a grant' to fix 'our pain.'

With respect to some of the profs referring to doing certain things during pregnancy which can cause kids being born retarded, I say, With all due respect, Fuck You  Professor shitstain. Developmental disabilities come in 31 flavors. Not all of them  related to mental disability.

YMMV

Best wishes and good luck

Hey hey Jerry,, figured you had it covered. good move with the booze maybe you can "get lucky" after the successful heist,, mission accomplished and celebration... the wimmenz get all randy on the hooch...

293 Oh, there was that one episode where Paul Reiser downs some Viagra and runs around NYV with a massive erection.  That was pretty funny.  At the same time, his wife is running around NYC wearing nothing but a towel after getting locked out of their apartment.  It was...bizarre.

Then there was the episode with Bruce Willis filming "Die Hard: Die Already" and for some reason he's all messed up on...somethinerother...and he's leading Paul resier around while trying to avoid the paparazzi.

I haven't seen this show in years but these two always stuck in my head.

305 We're due for our 1st big snow of the season tonight, tomorrow, and I think Wednesday. I've been meaning to put the motor home in it's covered cover place since forever. The forecast and a dusting overnight finally got me motivated. The deed is done. But it was not without a tussle. Of course the batteries were dead. I couldn't get enough juice to lift the jacks and crank the slides in without a generous amount of ^5**&^%.

I sit now, having eaten a Reuben, with a side of red wine, and the satisfaction of being an apprentice moron.

Do Not Enter does sort of limit your options, I suppose.

Paul Reisler is kind of cute, if he is the one I'm thinking of. I never really understood the appeal of Helen Hunt, though she is certainly better than that Dunst creature.

I agree with that assessment. She certainly isn't ugly. Which is more than I can say for DUnst, altho Thor did explain the whole wet Tshirt thing, which seems to be what gets imprinted in the male mind.

Bringing me cool drinks every ten minutes and wiping me down with a cool cloth while removing an article of clothing at a time will often work on me. Especially if you start sort of drawing your fingers all over me, you know how you can put a kid to sleep by just sort of stroking them? It gives me goosebumps, which cools me down and plus I just like being stroked and petted, I guess. I just love that skin on skin feeling. I think most women do.

Oddly enough, I don't like being massaged, though. Thor adores that. I went to massage therapy school just to learn how to do it properly. He won't go to get a massage from anyone else, however.

We never get enough warm for our north east bodies to acclimate. I can go 80 out on the water or in the shade,, but that's about it.

386 In all honesty however isn't he built like a grizzly bear??

My baby brother is huge, but my next younger brother isn't fat at all. He is big, 6' 3", but he is only about 200 pounds. Cholesterol normal, though he does eat less than ideally. He's a farmer, and stays very active, doing lots of hard manual labor. (He's really a cousin I lived with til I was 10, just for clarification. 6 older boys, 2 younger. And I wonder why I am not a girly-girl!)

And thanks for the prayers! I am sort of numb. I wish I was there, and so does he. He called me a while ago. He's pretty nervous.

387 Me, I usually set the AC on the Hoth setting.

 I keep the house cold enough hang meat in it. lol

OMG, so does my mama and if we had air, so would I. My poor husband is never under any circumstances allowed to turn on the heater, either. It was 39 last night, and he was mighty cold, specially since I always gotta have a window open somewhere, for fresh air.

Ignore 'em! Pretend they're trolls. Not everyone is going to get along. It's inevitable. Just roll with it, and don't get ruffled. There's several women who  don't like me either, and lurkers who complain..... I always ask myself if what they are complaining about is legit; if not, to heck with them.

I did tone down the naughty after Maet mentioned it, though. I was told that it was women complaining. Since I truly offended them, that was a different issue.

417 I'm only 6' even but I'd be pretty stoked to get down to 200 pounds. It's less than fifty pound to lose but can seem insurmountable. There is a good chance I could get off most or all of the high blood pressure meds if I lost the weight but the meds themselves are a big barrier. All three carry warnings about drowsiness and operating heavy machinery, which can make it hard to find the motivation to get on the treadmill. I want a rig that will let me do more work while walking in place. The main trick is to separate the expensive parts from the worst of the vibration. Only the keyboard and trackpad need to be directly at hand if the monitor is big enough, combined with the right settings, to use at a good distance.

The puppy should be big enough for walks in the neighborhood with audio books in a few months. That may help.

I also acquired a PDF of the most recent edition of the Atkins book. See if that helps. My doubt isn't so much about the system but rather my ability to work within it.

Oh hell yes, most calcium channel and beta blockers make you very lethargic. You need to be monitored fairly regularly, too, to make sure you aren't taking too much. And I'm thinking you also need to be taking COQ10, but that could be something that has more to do with statins.

Oh, it was by no means a cure. It just kept it down to a dull roar, as opposed  to setting off car alarms. My mother can hear him snore when we go to her place on vacation, and her room is clear across the house from the guest room. People can hear him in the next hotel room over.

474 Oh, that's right! I remember now. So I take it the nephew didn't get punched out?

Didn't even show up. And my B/SIL opted to take the fancy sewing machine to sell and keep the proceeds. We got all the heirloom stuff. Funny to me how some people prefer money over sentimental things! But it worked out great for me!

I let my SIL have all the jewelry, other than a few things my MIL specifically left me in the will. She was so excited! And she took all the clothes. My MIL had beautiful taste in clothes, and was very petite (4' 10!) My SIL is also petite, but not near as short (she's 5' 3) so she didn't think the clothes would fit her, but they did. She was like a little kid, she was so jazzed. It was fun seeing her so excited, she's normally a bland little thing.

Probably. I always feel like such a moose after visiting with my inlaws! I towered over my wee MIL. Almost a foot taller than her. I can't imagine her giving birth to Thor. He was almost 2 feet taller than her!

His brother is only about 6 feet, and very slight. I am reasonably certain I could whoop his ass if I had to. Nephew, too. Probably both at once if I was mad enough.

MLKJ Day is just too cumbersome to say, and the activities suck. All there is pumping up white guilt and wrapping the lefty cause du jour in the mantle of this holiness.

532 We lived in the Eastern sierra for 13 years before moving here. the first year it snowed six inches on TG day. I bought a snow shovel and cleared about one fourth of the drive way. But I was pleased with the result, so there was that. The next day another six inches of snow fell. I told Bride we need a snow blower, or you need a younger husband. we bought the snow blower. Cleared the second day's snow.

You know what happened then, right? Yep. Never snowed again while we Lived there. However, Winter of 2010, I think it was, there was 180 inches of snow nearby at Mammoth Mt. We were at 4,500 ft. Mammoth was about 8,00 ft. I called a friend at the old place. She said it was the worst snow fall ever in those parts. Had I been a wandering type, I would have gladly volunteered  to remove the snow from her mounds.

538 Beefy Meatball, I don't get too worked about the knashing of teeth on MLK day. The only people who pay any attention to it are civil servants, unions, liberal politicians, and the press. That's ever one I guess, except those who took MLK's words to heart. I think it is a shame, frankly. MLK did many good things. Inspired a generation to look to the content of character not the color of one's skin. It's, as you say, the grievance pimps and political opportunists who have twisted MLK's message into bashing day ho ha.

As for me, I have been retired nineteen years, so every day is a holiday.

Posted by: Hammersmith Police at January 17, 2012 03:58 AM (Onw8c)

542 There a couple of things that bother me about the MLK day stuff, not least of which is that it is patently a liberal holiday - it is by its nature "exclusive." Then there's the fact some states didn't want it, and were smeared over it. And of course, it IS yet another occasion for the indoctrination of our kids into liberal orthodoxy. I have a niece that can be brought nearly to tears if you question recycling or the quality of "modern art (yes, another one of my fetishes!) to her. I'm sure if anyone ever questioned some of the things that MLK actually said in front of her - things like comparing the country to Nazi Germany, for example - she'd almost cry yet again. And then there's the Lefty-imposed Sanctimony over it - in the same way North Korean wailers face arrest and concentration camps if they don't wail believably enough, we are told we must accept MLK as a great American hero and this holiday... can't even talk about it, for to lack the sufficient enthusiasm is to face accusation that utilize the "pervy" technique: namely, that if anyone dares raise his head above the rest of the herd and questions the Liberal orthodoxy imposed on us all, out come words like "fetish" and "creepy." I've noticed that there is a trend, amongst a few, to shut down any slightly uncomfortable - because its controversial - discussion by using the "pervy" technique of using words that indirectly imply there is something unsavory about the person willing to engage in them. It's really effective, because no one wants to in any way be labeled "creepy" or fess up to a "fetish." We at the HQ should have zero tolerance of that sort of way of intimidating people into silence.

Posted by: CoolCzech at January 17, 2012 04:14 AM (niZvt)

546 Cool Czech, I understand what cher saying. I dealt with the indoctrination  business by reading bits of MLK's speeches to them starting about fourth grade. They had a few questions, and we all moved on.

The conditions of racial bias before MLK were incomprehensible to our kids. In my experience, they wondered what's all the fuss was about. As they grew, they judged for themselves and were little influenced by grievance pimps.

Posted by: Hammersmith Police at January 17, 2012 04:24 AM (Onw8c)

547 In polite company I say sissies. It's not meant as an insult, but I see now how it can be seen as intent to insult. I can be such a dick at times. Sorry.
