Always Room For Improvement

A safer grenade:

Israel has developed a hand grenade that is much less likely to explode when hit by a bullet. This was in response to an incident two years ago, when an Israeli army officer along with a nearby sergeant died when a Palestinian bullet hit and detonated a grenade the officer was carrying.

This had long been a risk when carrying grenades, but rarely was a grenade set off accidentally by a stray bullet, at least while the grenade was being carried by a soldier. But the Israeli Defense Forces Munitions Branch found that a small modification of the grenade design would make such accidental detonations almost impossible. The grenades still look, and operate the same way and all new ones will be manufactured with the new safety feature.

49 20 TPH, hope it goes as well as it can.... Posted by: sven10077 at September 09, 2012 10:32 PM (LRFds) The problem is that the time for a project is coming to an end and I've had to deal with things not working like I had hoped it would, and this problem has only manifested recently, making it nigh impossible to get solid results by the end of this month - particularly since getting some necessary replacement parts is nigh impossible. Admittedly, it is experimental stuff and experimental stuff doesn't always work... but that doesn't matter when it comes to expectations. Oh, well, at least I'm still useful for taking care of other things.

New Ad by Americans for Prosperity ran today during the NFL football games here in Central Florida.....it was great....hits Obama over Obamacare and uses lady from Canada that explains what happened to her under Canada's Government system like Obamacare.  She would be dead if not for her husband bringing her to US for surgery....Canadians told her she had to wait months!!  It was great ad....you would not realize until she goes along with her story....very compelling and hard hitting...she tells Americans need to get engaged over Obamacare....I am guessing it will be aired in swing states....but it was very very powerful and well done! 

 

This is one of the Super Pacs opening up their ads....these ads are the type we need more of....thank goodness for the Super Pacs....Americans for Prosperity is one of the biggies!

78 In regards to the web hosting, I'm planning to do various things with various domain names. One will be a political blog, and have a couple of variants in domain name pointing towards it. I will also have a personal non-political blog that I plan on keeping separate, in addition to some other personal pages. I may also add a couple domains for my family to use. I'm gonna have to do the private registration thing to keep some stuff from too easily bleeding into another. So far, the price for the private registration ranges from free (dreamhost.com) to abou $10/yr/domain name.

Still not looking forward to dealing with a boss who deals with anything negative like he is going to literally force you to eat s**t and die -- and then turn around and honestly be nice. I can deal with it, but it ain't something pleasant to look forward to. But hey, as my parents always say: "S**t happens, so deal with it."

124 after Holder sued them, I don't trust a thing they say.
They sued Holder, for leaning on them, I thought. Either way, they've been way oversampling democrats this year. I know part of that is strategy (prevent the bandwagon effect if people see Obama slumping in the polls) and part of it is a delusion of how to properly model this election. Its just you can't trust it. I think they're way overestimating Democrat registration, let alone turnout.
I'm seeing zero signs for Obama here in Oregon, too. Might just be early but none whatsoever, anywhere. Some old faded Obama bumper stickers, but no Obama. No Romney either, for that matter.

I think a lot of that was the design. Originally the pull cord for the primer was danging out the bottom of the stick and it got hooked on stuff, never a good thing.

Posted by: The Political Hat at September 09, 2012 10:48 PM (sZTYJ) You know you don't have to use the same provider for domain registration and web hosting? Depending on what you are doing, as long as you can manage the DNS record you can point to whatever host you like.

Nothing, it actually makes a better chili,  but Texans get all pissy about it.

Posted by: garrett at September 09, 2012 07:14 PM (ILsje)

156 151 CJ,

People are always asking why our chili has no beans.   The contemporary reason for chili contests with no beans is that in 1951, a chili prophet by the name of John Haddaway decided to improve the quality of chili in the world.   He knew in his heart of hearts that good chili had no beans and so
he wrote and preached about this.  From this beginning, thousands of chili cooks and a couple of international organizations with associated foolishness have arisen.  As part of this, millions of dollars have been raised for charities through the vehicle of competitive chili cookoffs.

    The development of these competitive cooking events involved designing standardized rules to ensure non-biased judging and perhaps more importantly, to eliminate the notions that there were opportunities for some to "cheat".  Beans, by their appearance, by their variety and differences,
could allow some judges and promoters of events to select or de-select winners based on the
appearance of the chilies, i.e., I might know that this is or is not Fred's chili because it has or doesn't have kidney, pinto and or red beans in it. As a competitive corollary, beans make it easier to mask bitter tastes associated with chili powders and they also provide vastly different flavors.

    A perhaps better reason for no beans in chili is that historically, prior to the 1900s, chili was made without beans.  Speculations surrounding the origins of "true" chili are numerous, but soaking dry beans and then boiling them for several hours makes beans a difficult dish for a cattle drive.  I
believe jerky or just plain beef and biscuits were the typical fare for such adventures.   As
for jail houses, in the 1800s, I doubt that many served meat dishes to their guests.

200 It was highly unusual for someone to pass the ball so completely to a staffer. The 44-year-old Krone outlined the plan, including a secret Republican pledge to count $1 trillion in savings from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan toward deficit reduction. That was surprising. Earlier, Boehner had not been willing to accept this accounting gimmick. “I don’t trust these guys,” the president said dismissively. Krone either would not or could not conceal his anger. “Wait a second,” Obama said, interrupting someone else who was about to speak. “I can tell David has something else to say.” “Mr. President, I am sorry — with all due respect — that we are in this situation that we’re in, but we got handed this football on Friday night. And I didn’t create this situation. The first thing that baffles me is, from my private-sector experience, the first rule that I’ve always been taught is to have a Plan B. And it is really disheartening that you, that this White House did not have a Plan B.” Several jaws dropped as the Hill staffer blasted the president to his face.

Parting comments for the night:

Max Cleland crippled himself in Viet Nam when he hopped off a chopper and inadvertantly pulled the pin on a grenade he was wearing.  Blew off his legs.  Tragic but actually kinda stupid.

 

Ohio elected a Republican governor in 2010 and a majority of Republicans in the state Senate and House in 2010.  And now they are going to vote for Obama?  You have no idea how UNPOPULAR Obama is in many parts of Ohio.  When he "saved" GM in 2009, they closed down a lot of GM factories/Delphi factories, and auto dealerships (arbitrarily).  And no one is seeing things get much better in some blue collar Democrat factory towns.  He is not that popular.

 

Ohio's unemployement rate (official) is one percent lower than the national average, largely because of the policy changes since 2010 when Kasich and the Republicans were elected  (balanced budget, no new taxes, better financial footing for the government).

217 Cleland picked up someone else's grenade that he thought was his. An idiot private who apparently failed to idiot-proof his equipment and then dropped it when they unassed the bird. Pins don't fall out of US grenades. The private likely fucked with his gear trying to be Sgt Rock prior to the incident. Cleland's deal is a prime example of why military operations are dangerous as shit. Not only does the enemy want to kill you, you are also very often surrounded by idiots with deadly equipment.

Leftweenie on a bike yells, "This isn't Virginia or Alabama, motherfucker!" Black males, young and muscular, yell "Fuck Da Streets!" Two women, one black and one white, do obscene bump-and-grind routines.

242 126 More info from the PPP Ohio poll where Obama now leads 50-45. Romney leads among independents 46-44. Obama wins Dems 86-11. Romney wins Republicans 83-13. The sample isn't that bad...Dems +4, which is plausible, if not likely. It was Dems +8 in 08 and even in 2010.

Posted by: toldyaso at September 09, 2012 11:06 PM (Lf/c1) 


One of the many problems with the Ohio poll from PPP is that they say it is composed of 54% women to 46% men. In both 2010 and 2008 exit polls it was composed of 52% women to 48% men. They also have Democrats making up 41% of the electorate, but even in 2008 Democrats were ONLY 39% of the population. I do not believe that the population is 2% MORE Democrat than in 2008. This poll is oversampling Democrats by several % points. At most this state is +2 D, but the state is not 41% Democrat. Even the Cook PVI has it at R+1 state. I don't see Obama winning here.

Why Kar98? I got a great deal on a shooter - e.g. Russian capture (electropencil marks) with US import marks, so low price because of the lower "collectibility" factor, with a bright, shiny bore, almost no throat erosions, and a perfect crown.  I only own shooters, and this thing shoulders beautifully, points naturally to POI with perfect cheekweld (something you do not get from many other vintage bolt guns), and I've got plenty of brass-cased ammo and know a guy who has the dies.  It's a piece of history I get to play with and turn money into noise with, and I got it on the cheap.  03 FFL for the win.

You could check out Cylinder & Slide or Dawson Precision. In theory, any good 1911 smith could do the work. Most of the parts are common, pretty much just trigger geometry isn't.

Posted by: IdowhatIwant at September 10, 2012 12:35 AM (a4CUi) That's easy, feedramp polishing is candy, the extractor doesn't require them to futz with the trigger or anything in the frame, just the slide. It does vary from the standard a bit if it's an LDA. I'd call Cylinder and Slide and maybe look up Tussey and I think Indell, I've heard they work on LDAs. That's terry Tussey and John Indell, I think they just do business under their names.

What they built over a century, the 20th to be precise, will take many years to tear down, but the mockery and ridicule you want, and which will be a key tool of their destruction, has already started.  The right is starting to own new media (Big "thank you!" to St. Breitbart), has shown an ability to take over twitter hashtags, and is actively pushing stories the MSM won't cover, which eventually the MSM must pay attention to, such as Rep. Weiner's unfortunate tumescence (which Ace drove into the MSM).  Much like the left had their long war through the institutions of education and government, conservatives will have to fight a long war through the media establishment.  The first battles have already been fought, and their walls are cracking.

Hang on, I need to go look up "bad" in the dictionary, because that sentence does not compute.  That sounds like a hell of a find, Ms. Puma, and a jewel in any milsurp collection.  I hope it shoots as good as it looks.  If you're genuinely worried about the stock, you can get a cheap drop-in replacement from the CMP and leave the original in the safe when you go to shoot it.

352 Why Kar98? I got a great deal on a shooter - e.g. Russian capture (electropencil marks) with US import marks, so low price because of the lower "collectibility" factor, with a bright, shiny bore, almost no throat erosions, and a perfect crown. I only own shooters, and this thing shoulders beautifully, points naturally to POI with perfect cheekweld (something you do not get from many other vintage bolt guns), and I've got plenty of brass-cased ammo and know a guy who has the dies. It's a piece of history I get to play with and turn money into noise with, and I got it on the cheap. 03 FFL for the win.

1936? Well done, especially at a low price. The K98's a hell of a rifle. A 1939 and a 1943(winter), here. Have fun with that cannon.

353 Mero, that's my problem. If I plan on keeping an item for more than 5 years, I buy the best I can afford. Furniture, tvs, guns, cars, whatever. And when I see glass for over a grand, I think, I spent less on my glock, the mags, and every round I've sent downrange through it. Like I said, I'll buy one, but it's way down the list, behind a few thousand rounds in various calibers, a dozen or so mags, a really good holster, a rifle scope, and in all likelyhood a few new pieces. Almost impulse bought a ruger 10/22 at Dicks the other day, but I'll price shop it a bit first.

You either can't be satisfied with the present, are letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, or have other motives.  As I noted in #314, this is not some instant turnkey project.  Modern conservatism, along with a supportive media contingent, effectively ceased to exist between WWI and 1964, and did not take hold in any serious way until 1980, at which point the Reagan recovery later in his first term gave conservatives actual data to point at, as opposed to policy prescriptions which hadn't been tried or proven since Calvin Coolidge.  Control of the House was never even in question until the takeover in 1994.  This will not be a fast or easy process, but the seeds have been sown.  The left has been exposed for who they are, and the messaging battle has been engaged. 

*I failed to mention earlier the enormous success of conservative talk radio that began in the 80's, coupled with the repeated enormous failures of the left to counter those successes.*

369 yet another masterpiece...

I completely buy the argument that pedophiles are wired that way, since the cure/rehab rate is essentially zero. 

What someone with those urges needs to understand is that there are social taboos.  In this society, getting busy with kids is one of them.  You can have all the pedophile thoughts you want as long as you don't act on them. 

Act on them in THIS society, someone is going to go all Gen Charles Napier on your ass.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_James_Napier

Unlike the Indians, the Brits had a social taboo against burning wives alive after their husbands died.  The General resolved the cultural taboo conflict handily:

"A story for which Napier is often noted involved Hindu priests complaining to him about the prohibition of Sati by British authorities. This was the custom of burning a widow alive on the funeral pyre of her husband. As first recounted by his brother William, he replied: "Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs." [4]"

428 Robert that pretty much sums it up.  Anything like 'theoretical computing' means someone wants to stay in school forever.  Graduate and become a teacher without ever sullying the hands with actual intellectual labor and risking a sore thumb from mouse clicking.

StPat, in each generation people who never serve feel guilt.  Some take the route of claiming to have served - look at the Who's Who of the 1920s and how many claimed to be members of the Lafayette Escadrille for an example.  Hint - far more claimed to have served than did. 

The harder route is being a good honest person who never stole the laurels from the deserving and still made a difference, be it that one kid you tutored to finding a cure for Ebola.

432 One thing I'm getting a little tired of is people who invite celebrities to their balls or proms

While a lot of celebrities aren't the cream of humanity, it's getting tiresome and it's publicity seeking

Invite a celebrity without checking their schedules, and hope someone to accept a date with a total stranger. Then publicize it to put them in a spot where they look bad for saying no

I highly respect our troops, but they're the ones doing it the most. Stop doing it, it's getting tiresome

477 The comedic deficit is an unwinnable battle. The fact is, it's easier to be a smart ass if you're a leftard because nothing really matters and all existence is but a joke.

Leftism has always been drawn to nihilism like a moth to a flame. It instills a certain frame of mind that is destructive but lends itself to humor. Humor, after all, is the cognitive function that allows us to laugh instead of collapse into emotional despair. Thus, the humor gap is nothing to envy, as it marks lives dedicated to emptiness. It is no more to be respected than someone with a remarkable capacity for drink who channels it into raging alcoholism.

In the shade of the freeway
I'm going to pack my lunch in the morning
And go to work each day
And when the evening rolls around
I'll go on home and lay my body down
And when the morning light comes streaming in
I'll get up and do it again
Amen
Say it again
Amen"

505 One major factor that keeps getting overlooked in the endless discussions of poll results is 'voter motivation'. Sure, if called at the house, most Dems may answer they are backing Obama, but how many are actually fired-up to pull that trigger again? ....and never forget the "Please don't think I'm a racist, I'm voting for Obama" crowd (yes, there are still many). It's easier just to tell yourself (and the pollster) you're voting for Obama again, instead of looking in the mirror and facing the fact you were an idiot. You'll just find a convenient excuse not to vote that day....self-esteem intact! OTOH, I think some conservatives are already lining up outside the polling stations.

Did you see that speech Sandra gave? It was a landmark moment for a  Woman's Right to kill her baby, and to be a self-indulgent whore.


And finally to really bring home the danger of the Republicans War on Women there was a special tribute to the deceased woman murderer Senator Edward Kennedy, followed by a speech by the alleged rapist, President Bill Clinton.

516 Our goddaughter and her mom dropped by tonight.The gd is still on summer break and returns to college for her sophomore year in a couple of weeks......

The BH and I have no children, and I've managed to mostly avoid changing diapers, but at one point about two decades ago I was changing the goddaughter's diaper.....as a collaborative effort. They'd given me their kid and a tremendous bag of stuff and sent me off to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and the kid and I assessed that it was time for a diaper change.

So I unpacked all this unfamiliar stuff and tried to arrange it logically, and went through it with her. I'd hold up a package, and say "....and now, this?" and she'd say, "no, the blue one." We probably rated only a 3 out of 10 for style as we fumbled through the process, but somehow we both survived.

I'm sure she doesn't remember that incident. But over the years we've had  a very matter-of-fact relationship based on mutual respect and affection.......and it all goes back to where I figured she knew more about diaper-changing than I did.

Posted by: epobirs at September 10, 2012 02:45 AM (kcfmt) We could fill an entire network with new material all day every day mocking the left. But the entire entertainment industry would scream and stamp their feet and boycott and undercut and cut cables and threaten advertisers and on and on. As well as academia, the press corps, all the leftist politicians and organizers, they could go on like you had stabbed their grannies. They have endless free time and energy because their need can never be filled and they don't care about anything else. The *BIG* problem is how much of life has now come to depend on the All Powerful State, because if it didn't the left would be nothing *but* comedy as they flailed helplessly in favor of the machine.
