Overnight Open Thread 1/18/2012 (chad)
— Open Blogger

On this date – 1803 – Thomas Jefferson requests funding for the Lewis and Clark expedition.  Democrats immediately oppose on the grounds that someday someone may want to build an economically viable oil pipeline that will decrease AmericaÂ’s dependence on Middle-Eastern oil and create thousands of jobs.

1896- The first X-Ray machine is demonstrated by TSA agents intent on eye-rape while irradiating steamship passengers' testicles.

I thought this is what hamsters were for -


Scientists have created a teeny tiny rocket that could swim around in your stomach and fix whatever ails you.

All you e-reader owners who enjoy works in the public domain, download what you want now because some of them will be re-entering copyrighted status.  Somewhere Mickey Mouse is flipping us all the bird. 

California strikes again as LA attempts to drive away itÂ’s last functioning industry.

Curious what opposition research looks like?  Read John McCainÂ’s 2008 file on Mitt Romney.  Personally I think Ace does a better job even when he is distracted by hobo-killing and Val-u-Rite.

This is why we need government - who else would protect the homeless from the indignity of receiving free food outdoors by denying them the free food.

Nothing's hipper right now in Seattle than street food.

...

Curbside al fresco is so hot that city officials have put up a website to boost the street-food craze.

Unless you're homeless, says Beverly Graham. Then eating outside is "inhumane, disrespectful and undignified."

TonightÂ’s ONT brought to you by The Boy Scouts of America, the last line of defense:

25 'I finally saw the pics of that boat. Damn, that thing was close enough you really didn't need lifeboats, the shoreline was RIGHT THERE!'

I thought the same thing, until you consider that many could not exit from the near side, and had to go over the opposite (port) side of the ship.  It is much longer swim from that side, and should not be undertaken by any other than the ones in good physical condition. Add to the fact the problem that the water was on the cold side, you are clothed, and now you know why some deaths were from cardiac arrest.

31 I was at the drive thru at the bank yesterday and this gorgeous blonde pulls up in the lane next to me in her really cool car.  I looked over and noticed that she was distracted and instead of pushing the button to roll her driver side window down, the back window went down instead.  She gets her transaction done and goes to put it in the tube and smack!  Face and hands go right into her window.  I burst out laughing.

The movie is about the Tuskeegee Airmen who painted the tails on their Mustangs red. This movie was done a couple of years ago with Lawrence Fishburn and Cuba Gooding. Sad, really, that Hollywood is so bereft of ideas that they are recycling movies that were so recently made.

Saw a great example of IT specialist vs. IT generalist this afternoon.

The girl training me on the new system graduated college in 20-freaking-10. Was born in 1988. She is clearly an expert on the system she's training me on.

However, some of my new team mates were discussing the move to the new data center and issues with IP addresses and such and kept using the acronym NIC.

And I hear her ask at one point "what's a NIC?".

67 Cub scout. Ashamed to admit that I quit because the den mother changed. We had a rich den mother and then it changed to a poor one. I didn't realize that, of course, I was a kid. I just knew that den meetings stopped being fun. Nobody ordered pizza for us anymore and the new place didn't have any cool toys. They had a tire swing in the backyard and that was it. No video games. I think it was mainly the crappy food and store brand cola though. I was a kid. I liked Pizza Hut and Coke. I would have settle for Pepsi. But generic cola and grape drink + stale pretzels drove my shallow 10 year-old ass out.

68 Okay, it's official: Obama isn't just stupid, he's really trying to damage the country as much as he can before leaving office.

This one was such a no-brainer. Who are the ecoweenies going to vote for? Their fingers would burst into flames if they touch the "R" lever in a voting booth. Obama and the dems have them sewn up now and forever amen. So they're the ones to screw over. Doesn't he know this? It's Politics 101, for Chrissakes.

Now the union rank and file are looking at Obama and thinking to themselves, "Pussy." Sure, the bosses will endorse O and kick back some cash to him, but the rank and file (except for SIEU, of course) will stay home or maybe just flip that little "R" themselves.

So if this was pure political calculation -- which Obama is very good at -- he has just fucked himself up good.

Nobody's that stupid. Nobody in his position, with his history, can be that stupid. Which means he's doing this on purpose. He's fucking up the country because he hates us. He's going full Nero on the United States.

This man doesn't need to be voted out. He needs to be marched out of the White House in handcuffs.

215 I never had any trouble with Armenians when I worked in Pasadena, or Koreans when I worked in Garden Grove. Of course, it could be I was too dense to realize they didn't like me. But they used to bring me food and try and teach me their language, so they must have liked me a little.

The Armenians will not marry out of their culture, as a rule, though. Koreans are particular about that as well, but I have never seen anything like Armenians for sticking with their own people when it comes time to marry, or even date.

285 You think we're called that because we keep secrets.

No, we actually secrete oil. Then we turn it into money. Lots of money. Then we bathe in the money. Sometimes it gets oil on it but that just makes it worth more, which makes us even richer. Then we laugh over the poor people out there who could use some of that money. We laugh, and laugh, and then light our cigars with oil-soaked money that the poor could use to buy food and health care and dignity. Then we go out fracking, just to mess up the water supply.

Secretive Oil Billionaires.

Salt does not cause the condition. In other words, salt causes high blood pressure *IF* you have salt-sensitive hypertension. But salt doesn't cause the condition. The condition is (apparently) genetic. That article was about the mechanism.

Sometimes people use the word "hypotensive" to describe people who have the condition (salt-sensitive). The article said that people who were hypotensive can't regulate temperature as well as others, but it seems to me they had a small sample size and were predicating their conclusion on multiple assumptions. Unfortunately a lot of people (including most doctors) can't be bothered to determine if a patient is salt-sensitive or not, so they treat everyone as if they were salt-sensitive. Mostly because they're intellectually lazy and incurious.

We were supposed to get 14" and got around 3" at my house. Olympia got about a foot I heard and the mountains got more of course but it was over hyped.

3" here though shuts pretty much everything down. The roads in Kirkland are still snowpacked but we only have one plow I think and they don't take it out in the snow.

Thor and I were out of town this weekend going through my late MIL's belongings with his brother, and then one of my younger brothers decided to up and have a quintuple bypass Monday. He had a little chest pain, and thought he'd better go to the ER; that alone was a miracle.

Signed up for one of the major dating sites and they have a question interface to try and match you up with other people.

The first few questions are bland enough and there are a lot of questions about marriage, sex, and drugs, and some VERY specific questions on the last two.

Posted by: Splunge at January 18, 2012 11:52 PM (2IW5Q) I appreciate the offer, though I am unlikely to have a beer. I am rapidly approaching the "delenda est" point regarding the welfare state - which we aren't suddenly going Euro on, we're about 3/4 of the way down the slope - because the constituencies are too entrenched and the Beast (the bureaucracy) too large to shift. Which means that pretty much all discussing it above a casual level does is raise my cortisol levels. On the other hand, my panoply of heart drugs make me easily aggravated and give me the attention span of a bright seven-year-old who just ate an entire Costco-sized bag of Halloween candy, so no doubt that has an effect as well.

516 Here's a liberal suggestion conservatives might agree with re: Keystone XL, which is likely to crop up in House legislation this year. KXL is a priority for Republicans and a live campaign issue. How about giving every state through which the pipeline passes the prerogative to reject state-wide eminent domain suits filed by TransCanada against property owners within that state? As of October, TransCanada has filed against at least 34 Texas property owners and 22 more in South Dakota. There's something unseemly about a foreign company litigating Americans off their land. Maybe a less-libertarian compromise would be for Congress to foot the legal bills of property owners. Either way, I think the Republicans should give a nod to landowners if they decide to make KXL development part of their legislative agenda.

What makes me scratch my head is when they start talking about all women who end up fleecing them. I'm pretty sure the women started off immediately hittin' 'em up for money or goods, but it was okay then. But they always seem so surprised that it continues!

I must have missed all of that, there hasn't been anything that I've seen for a while on the ONT.

Well, sure, GGE, because I am behaving! I've kind of figured out a little better to filter what I ask about, etc.  I think BeBe pointed out that I shouldn't get personal about things, for one thing. (Which I should have known anyway.)

Liquid oxygen as oxidizer, and liquid hydrogen, kerosene, etc. as fuel. Useful rocket fuel isn't  really that exotic, or expensive. The idea that rocket fuel is some bizarre pricy mix of weird-ass chemicals comes from the hypergolics (shit you just mix together and it burns) they used in ICBMs for a while, before switching to solids.

610 People keep trying to make low-power ion engines. Because accomplishing travel over large distances obviously hinges on the ability to do small amounts of work. And/or they're kind of dumb. Low-power devices are important to develop, but they don't solve any F=MV2 problems. You still need F. Ultimately we don't understand the most efficient ways to move over long distances, but we need to get moving *first*. Engineers tend to appreciate a solar-powered bicycle as much or more than a diesel big-rig, but one of them can't haul a load of auto parts across the country (in a realistic timeframe).

651 689 Other than mass transfer, is there any other way yet of producing force over a long distance? You eventually run out of mass, right? Posted by: bergerbilder at January 19, 2012 12:56 AM (j+Izh) To move, you have to either push or pull - or let something else push or pull. To go all hypothetical at some point it may be possible to travel in another geometric dimension or fold space or whatever, but nothing like that is around the corner unless an intragalactic salesman shows up. So we need thrust - or something to latch onto and pull. Forces tend not to act over great distances, for which we should be grateful (eyes galactic core).

659 Reporters should have integrity reporting on such important things as presidential politics eh? Posted by: Jornolist at January 19, 2012 12:57 AM (ToMvD) I've been saying that a long time. The real problem is that newsies will *NOT* go after each other. There's no competition in the field, other than trying to gain share by following the wink-wink rules. If I were a politician I would only see a reporter when I had a list of their personal or the network's foibles, lies, and BS that I could throw at them. This crap with the GOP doing a bunch of debates with actively hostile "moderators" is really making me doubt they have any value as far as solving systemic problems. They're too stupid to get anything useful done, especially in the face of opposition from the masses of parasites.

Posted by: Gern Blandsden at January 19, 2012 01:04 AM (4qU0l) It's not the size of your plasma, it's what you do with it. Basically the "high-energy" ion drive (VASIMR) is accelerated plasma, but it's still really low in specific output - because everybody is terrified of scaling up, apparently. Yes, you need power and you need reaction mass. Problems not solvable easily. But come on, a *pound* of thrust. Tinkertoys.

"Plasma" is just a superheated (actually substantially ionized) gas. If anything it's harder to handle, but in some ways it's easier to apply heat and accelerate it, as opposed to plain argon, aluminum, very small rocks, or whatever. So, by itself, it doesn't get you anywhere.

Jack Daniels Fishing Story

I went fishing this morning but after a short time I ran out of worms. Then I saw a cottonmouth with a frog in his mouth. Frogs are good bass bait. 
Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth I grabbed him right behind the head, took the frog, and put it in my bait bucket. 
Now the dilemma was how to release the snake without getting bit. So, I grabbed my bottle of Jack Daniels and poured a little whiskey in its mouth. His eyes rolled back, he went limp. I released him into the lake without incident and carried on fishing using the frog. 
A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot. It was that snake, with two more frogs.

742 779 So if FMV then if you don't mind going slow, you can dump plasma all you want, but to get a big boy solution, one must explore something else? Posted by: Gern Blandsden at January 19, 2012 01:35 AM (4qU0l) Yes and no. Mostly no. Because "plasma" isn't the method, or the fuel - it's the reaction mass. Ultimately using reaction mass doesn't work well, because you can carry a limited amount of it. But I'm talking about Moon/Mars so that's probably okay. There isn't a "plasma motor," it's either a plasma rocket or a plasma ion engine (VASIMR).

743 The weather here is cool and dry, but they keep talking about rain and warming. None on the radar yet, though.

It wouldn't bother me so much if my actions were clearer. So long as it stays dry and has freezes, I shouldn't really water outside -- it'll just freeze. And if it warms and rains, I shouldn't need to water. But plants are stressing.

757 I want to play bluegrass. Really into it right now. And when you start, you will re-think the "I'm not too worried about the level..." thing. See, here's the deal...you got your left hand trying to find the right notes on a fretless neck. Unless your teacher or someone puts tape on the neck where the frets should be. Then your right hand with the bow. While you're concentrating on the left hand the bow goes wonky. Play too close/over the neck and/or too close/over the bridge...horrible noises. But I love it and you will, too. If it was easy everyone would be doing it.

We don't even know enough about physics to know what rules that breaks. 3) avoiding the issue entirely by folding space, wormholes, or other obscure abuses of physics. Basically, we need to make the laws of the universe our bitch.

It's a business and in the legally controlled cathouses, the girls have to practice safe sex and they routinely go for medical tests to make sure they're not carrying STDs or AIDs. If they are, their work cards are pulled. They can't get new ones because you have to submit finger prints. As for just giving it away, you can't legislate morality.

The orchids and "orchid cactus" are mainly in popup greenhouses until spring -- the trick is to maintain their humidity (leave doors open) and temperature (leave doors closed).

Posted by: Merovign, Dark Lord of the Sith at January 19, 2012 02:10 AM (bxiXv) I am not advocating for them but the approach of poring over their filings is not likely to lead to a lot of useful information. Any big gains they get are going to affect their earnings and are going to require an explanation. The level of disclosure required in sec filings is not likely to result in the disclosure of where they do their banking. Even if it did a global corporation has lots of reasons to have cash all over the place. Anyway, it would be more productive, I believe, to go after the reporters than the corporations. They are relatively small and vulnerable.

816 I never watched it until I bought it on DVD last year. I got through season two but stopped watching after my first kidney stone. I really need to start watching it again. Man, that show kicked ass. Posted by: Robert at January 19, 2012 02:20 AM (4ixH5) It was mostly good all the way through, though it did evolve significantly as it went. Ironically I started in season 4, then went back. Just in time for it to be canceled. As usual for sci-fi shows. I caught Firefly after it was canceled (not hard), B5 during the cancellation threat that caused them to screw up the main arc in seasons 4 & 5. I liked how Crichton evolved from a science geek to a wild ass-kicker in response to an insane universe trying to kill him.

I haven't made a purchase yet.  I really want to get my fingers on a board b4 I buy one, and it turns out the one I have been looking at (Nord) doesn't have a local distributor.  So I am succeeding in fretting and fussing but not much else so far.

823 SG-1 season 10 was transitional, but the Vala character was working pretty good and growing as it progressed, and Browder's character seemed more animated than the O'Neill character ever was.  I thought it was a cast that would have moved strongly into a season 11.

Of course killing off the Asgard was completely fracking retarded, and they should have been featured much more heavily in prior years too.

824 OMG, Jypsea, Roy D Mercer. I had forgotten all about him, now I am giggling just thinking about it! We quote Roy Damn Mercer in this house all the town. Especially the one where he calls a convenience to describe a horrible car accident his boy, Raymond, had because of a faulty tire gauge that was bought from the store. Store owner asked maybe Raymond did use it correctly and Roy D Mercer's response: "Look, the boy's a dumbs but he can work a tire gauge." We use that on a lot.

Is it possible to get a movie on blu with just one copy of the movie and maybe some extra features?

Why in the holy hell do I want three fooking copies of the same movie?

"But Robert, there's a one disc version on blu..."  Yes, Yes, I am aware but it has none of the making of features which are most excellent and quite in depth.  This is the only version with any of the making of features.  The price of this edition is better than it was a month ago but good gawd why the overkill?  3D/blu/dvd/digitalcopy/vhs/beta/8mm good grief!

Also?  FUCK 3D!

Even though I thought the theatrical 3D release was pretty good.

834 'Elementary': CBS develops 'modern-day Sherlock Holmes' pilot

The BBC's Sherlock works primarily because the producers are such great fans of the novels and due to the casting and quality of the productions. It is unlikely that CBS would put as much time and effort into it and making Holmes an American is a terrible idea. If they want another detective drama, they should try for something different.

You would think the selection standards for cruise ships would be pretty effective. It is probably not as rigorous as those for the Navy but the whole seagoing thing has been around for centuries and there have to be some good metrics for evaluating who is likely to be successful. It would be really sad if the accident was simply a stupid mistake and then he really did fall into the lifeboat as he says.

Posted by: Merovign, Dark Lord of the Sith at January 18, 2012 10:51 PM (bxiXv)

879 Right, Tams, once the cold water hits you I can see someone panicking but that's when training kicks in, like policemen and firemen and paramedics and emergency room personnel and fighter pilots, etc. But he was off course in the first place because he was showing off for his 1st Mate and there are eyewitness reports of him drinking. So all that just suggests to me that he is not a serious person and the sort that behaved rather clownishly in the past. Then someone went and made him captain. The long-winded point I'm trying to make here is, for someone to have exhibited that level of poor judgement, he should have been weeded out a long time ago.

A few of the neighborhood dogs committed suicide, and some of the cats shoved a lot of snow in their ears.  When the pet owners were telling me about it I had to work really hard at to not give myself away.  I have repainted where most of the paint pealed off.  Other than that, it has been peachy.

I think a lot of people can relate to hearing their own voice on an answering machine or something and realizing they don't really know what they sound like to other people.  I am having a time trying to come to grips with what I sound like and find things that fit me.  My guitar player says I sound like that guy from the Matrix who keeps saying "Mr. Anderson".  So imagine him singing and you get the general idea.

In his throat. lol

Well that actually was a different dude. This was the Gibson Dove with the headstock that was ripped off. The owner hasn't seen it yet. I don't think he was expecting it to survive it was so bad. Its been apart 25 years, but now it lives. It looks great, the neck was sanded down and had no finish on it at all, probably from the 1st break, but I restored the original cherry color and gave it a finish, and I used an ambered clear to give the old looking aged tint to the neck binding, so it matched the body binding. It makes it look as though the neck was never striped. The sucker is strong, and I was able to hide the break lines.

You are the captain of a billion dollar cruise ship. You are driving this hog, which has the grace and poise of a chevy caprice, like a ferrari through shallow, rock strewn waters at high speed in the dark. you hit a rock that has been clearly marked and visible for thousands of years. your ship is rolling over like a rino for obamacare. In a last desparate act to salvage the tattered shreds of your career you are guiding women and children into lifeboats. suddenly the ship sways unexpectedly you fall into the lifeboat as it swings away from the davits and lowers you into the water. Now the coast guard commander is screaming at you and calling you a coward and your socks are wet. You must have really, really screwed up in a previous incarnation. think your internet insurance is going to help you now?

“Is this what the black community has to show for its 95% support of the Democratic Party?”

==

Yep.  That's the thanks you get.

I think the universe may be built on irony.  One of the biggest ironies is the unthinking allegiance of black America to the slavery party.  A companion irony is the amount of money and support jews give the slavery party.

Sometimes I wonder if the message, "our people came from slaves" is strangely mistranslated into "slavery is just wonderful."  As dumb as that sounds, I just can't think of any other explanation.

Oh yeah, there are a few tools for that. I hate doing those. You also have to put the sucker in right, because it probably had the ends carved to conform with the curves of the inside of the top and back. If you look close there may be 1 or 2 little stab wounds in the post where the tool is used to spear it so it can be placed in the rough area, then its pulled into place with the hook type tool.  You have to be careful not to wreck the F hole, and you need to pull the end pin that holds the tailpiece out of the body so you can look through the hole to make sure the post is straight. The location is uber fucking critical, it will change the sound alot just being an 1/8" off, and you usually have to move it to find the sweet spot.

The cat always jumps her when she comes inside for her milkbone. Posted by: beanervt at January 19, 2012 03:23 AM (KZLoo) labmix is what the paperwork says, pitlab is likely more accurate. she has got more health issues than I know what to do with but she has got "mad moves." She rarely leaves my side but if we go to the park and she gets all excited it is very nearly impossible to catch her. I am always reaching for where she was and she is in a new poisition looking at me and saying "hey i am over here now." it really does look like neo dodging bullets. i love dogs and cats but I am horribly allergic to most cats. I am always really happy when I find one I am not allergic to. it is a little cool down here tonight. I think we will get to 22 or so, not manly weather like you have. It is cold enough to report homeless people to the police so they can be dragged off to the shelters; local news is encouraging you to do so.

Its usually pretty cheap, almost comical. I think maybe $20 max, and some places offer checkups with free sound post adjustments.

969 It was an interspersed kind of clumsy sex scene and huge dance number. It was bizarre, and after about 30 seconds I was all like "WTFBBQ?" May not have actually been 10 minutes but was surprisingly close to that. the only thing missing from that sex scene was a couple of lines of "ow,, what are you doing", "wait a minute, stop it, stop it, just stop it ok?", "@#$%^ what did I say about that - do not ever, ever do that!" "Forget it!", "Fine! I am going to sleep." "effin robots"

Hi, Vic

They also destroyed WA & OR and made alot of messes in ID & MT.  They seem to move away from their shithole (usually CA) and then try to turn the place they moved to into the same thing they left.

1023 Thomas Jefferson and the Louisiana Purchase is an interesting topic. At the time the big government liberals (Adams wing) decried it as unconstitutional. Jefferson himself thought it may have skirted on that. That shows you how much we have changed since the early 1800s with Stare Decisis crepe.

Looking at it from actual Supreme Court rulings from about 100 years later you could say that it was OK because it fell under his power for making treaties. It was later ratified by the Senate and who also approved the budget for the purchase.

Would it be that all Presidents were like that. More interested in expanding the country instead of the government.

I intend to if at all possible. Another interesting thing I learned when reading those books about Jefferson and doing simultaneous research on the internet is who runs Monticello and the attached Jefferson cemetery.

Monticello is run by a more liberal organization and there is friction between them and the cemetery organization. The cemetery is still an active cemetery limited legally to the descendents of Thomas Jefferson and you must have proof of that descendent status.

Note that the so-called descendents of Sally Hemmings did NOT meet that legal proof test even with the DNA testing. That is contrary to all the PC crap you see published now about the "evil slave owner" Thomas Jefferson.

Museums are just extensions of the liberal "learning" centers. Do enjoy the trip despite them which with your knowledge/interest of Jefferson I'm sure you will Vic.

I don't believe I ever watched Immortal Beloved but it has a special place in my heart for being an object of perfect preview placement.

In 'The Professional,' Gary Oldman's corrupt cop character rants about the virtues of Beethoven. On the VHS release I rented long, long ago, the first thing on the tape is a trailer for Gary Oldman as... Bethoven in 'Immortal Beloved.' So when he start talking about how wonderful the composer was in the feature, you have to think, "Well, you would think so, wouldn't you?"

1043 LOL, I though it was some new obscure internet shorthand code.

Yeah, just looked at the label and that is exactly what it is.

That doesn't really sound like me, does it?  I just wanted to understand what Vic was telling us, and to wish him well.

Gentlemen, I gotta hit the rack.  Have a wonderful day.

1048 Jefferson? What a puss. If I was on those ships the Barbary Pirates wouldn't have got a dime.

Yes he got a blast of shit didn't he? F&F though said he had a pretty good record and this was abnormal for him. He has since walked it all back profusely.

1052 Terrific ONT. Thank goodness it seems to be done. I am whipped from lurking.

So, signing on and off at the same time.

1053 So Kagan recuses herself from the copyright case, but can't do it for the Obamacare case despite being up in the middle of it?  That tells you all you need to know about the Dems quest to control your life.

I think the XL Pipeline situation should give the R's a great strategy to use.  I honestly believe that he shut it down because he knew the R's wanted it.  They should start demanding the opposite of what they want.  He is so determined to not give it to them, he would go the opposite direction every time.
