Overnight Open Thread (10 Aug 2013)
— CDR M

Well, we are starting to get into the peak period for the Perseid meteor shower. Hopefully, the clouds will clear up enough in my location to take a look. I did learn today though that you can possibly catch some meteors called earthgrazers between 9:30 and 10:30 PM. Here is video of one that occurred last night over New Mexico. Be sure to have your volume up. These earthgrazers make some eerie sounds caused by television signals bouncing of the ionized tail of the meteor. Bacon Shoes

Bacon shoes. I'd be afraid my dog would eat 'em.

BSG with Epic Music

Pole Dancing

I'm telling you, it's going to be an Olympic event soon. Pole dancers buff image with rules and a dress code.

Ginger Pride

The gingers are coming! The gingers are coming! I'm totally down with this. Way better than those other pride type marches.
h/t Thrawn

Petition

Heh. The People's Cube has a petition on the White House site requesting an exemption for ALL Americans from Obamacare.

Family Feud Video

Heh.

USAF Drug Runnin'

Hmmmm. I think I know why the sequester hasn't hurt as much now. Air Force flying 24 tons of cocaine to Miami. To destroy they say. Uh-uh. A now the furloughs are being lifted sooner than anticipated? Coincidence? I think not.

Most Stolen Signs In The U.S.

Heh. Most stolen road signs.

Apparently, this street got its name because a woman lived on the street named Katie and the "crotch" was the name of the v-shaped intersection in the road. Sound suspicious to me. This sign gets stolen so often that, earlier this year, the town had a vote whether to rename it. Even though it cost them $200 to replace it each time, they decided to stick with Katie's Crotch.

Ammo Joke

How bad is the ammo shortage? This bad.

Nuts

This Chinese man has no idea how to argue with his wife correctly. Man cuts off testicle during argument with wife. I don't see how he thought he was going to win this way.

Mrs Tang told her husband that she would now only have sex with Mr Tang just once a year until he finally bought her a home. The Tangs continued to have arguments for several weeks, until August 2, when their disagreement escalated to such an extent that Mr Tang grabbed his razor and then cut off one of his testicles in protest.

Meanwhile, in Scandi land, Scandinavian men are warned of testicle eating fish. So they recommend keep on wearing your swimtrunks. Um, really?

"The pacu is not normally dangerous to people but it has quite a serious bite, there have been incidents in other countries, such as Papua New Guinea where some men have had their testicles bitten off," said Henrik Carl, fish expert at the Danish museum.

While Carl said the museum's warning about the pacu, sometimes known as the "ball cutter", was meant "as a bit of fun", human victims of the pacu are rarely laughing.

"They bite because they're hungry, and testicles sit nicely in their mouth," he explained.

Coffee Booze

This just might be my new breakfast drink. Scientists turn used coffee grounds into booze. Smells like coffee? Check. Tastes like coffee? Check. Has alcohol in it? Check. Just need a chocolate donut with it in the morning and I'm good to go.

1 Point Me At The (Raaacist) Sky? One of the articles of faith for the hyper-racial left is that all White people are racist because “whiteness” is nothing but false and oppressive. To this end, White people can only fight racism, and so shrive themselves of the “sin” of Whiteness, by destroying everything associated with this “Whiteness.” More: http://politicalhat.com/?p=2907

21 My parents live on Joe Street.  Once my sister's friends stole the sign.  We actually ended up with it after they gave it to her as a gift after a car accident.  Its been stolen several times.  I think the last time it was replaced it didn't even last 2 weeks before some dipshits stole it.

Posted by: buzzion at August 10, 2013 06:50 PM (LI48c)

22 Re: Street signs being stolen. Those towns should do what Yellowknife, NWT. did. There is a street there named "Ragged Ass Road". The sign kept getting stolen, so the city now sells them. I have one in the guest bedroom. It's exactly the same as the one on the street, and it's a hell of a lot easier to buy one than steal one. Less risk of jail too.

The music with that BSG video above isn't Bear though.  Tons of stuff out there with this "Epic" vibe.  Some pretty good stuff too.  Excellent to work out to.

39 Hey, Smart People! May I pick your brains! As I mentioned last night, I bought a used trampoline. It is about 30 years old, heavy steel (painted), and has quite a bit of surface rust. I am a busy/lazy person, and I am trying to decide whether to just reassemble it and allow it to continue rusting in dignity, or fight the rust. Is there a fairly straightforward remedy that doesn't involve painstaking surface prep? Maybe knock off the loose flakes with a wire brush drill attachment and spray with something? Can I just spray cold gal or a rust converter over the rusty/painty surface and call it good?

70 For all the faults that BSG had, the music was pretty awesome.


I don't think that was the BSG music in that mash-up above.  The score was done by Bear McCreary and it was all that tribal drum stuff.  It was different when I first saw it, with the shaky cam footage and all the dogfighting.  But then it got old.


Also, just how did the Galactica keep replacing all their Vipers?  They had maybe a dozen or so at the beginning after the shiny new ones were all wiped out from the Cylon hax.  In one ep, Adama is trying to raid a Cylon fuel station and Dr. Gaius asks where the reserve Vipers are.  Adama says there are no reserve Vipers and "everything we have is on the board".

The music with that BSG video above isn't Bear though. Tons of stuff out there with this "Epic" vibe. Some pretty good stuff too. Excellent to work out to.

Posted by: Mindy at August 10, 2013 10:57 PM (MNGpX)


Do a Web search for "electrolytic rust removal". Basically, you immerse the rusty piece in a tub filled with a solution of washing soda (sodium carbonate, a mild base), and also a piece of scrap steel or stainless steel, to serve as an anode. Connect the negative cable from a 12 volt battery charger or other husky 12 volt source to the workpiece, and the positive cable to the anode. The workpiece and anode must not touch each other, and it's best if the cable clips not be immersed in the soup.



This is a little tedious to set up, and you may need a large tub, wading pool maybe? But there is essentially zero elbow grease involved; electricity does all the work, and the result, after rinsing with clear water, is a surface free of rust and loose paint, and ready for new paint.

  Rust reminds me of something at work--we used to have issues with parts shipped to us prerusted.  Especially brake rotors.

   Long story short, the vendor changed the rust preventative
coatings in an attempt to fix it.

   Inside each box was a paper explaining what was being used.

    So we asked what to clean them off with, our normal solvents didn't touch the stuff.

    Answer came back, use warm water.

    Turns out it was water soluble rust preventative.

167 I have never in my life bought a new lawn mower. My father had a repair shop that fixed them, and I worked for him for years as a kid, so I know how to fix them. When I feel the need for a new one, I go to the dump or the freecycle, and pick out one I like, fix what's wrong, and put it to work.



And friends give me their castoffs, and I fix them up, too. I have three acres of grass to mow, too. I have a 6' rough-cut mower for the tractor if it really gets out of hand, but normally I use the Dixon ZTR rider, and a walk-behind for tight places. And a weed whacker.

191 "Jeebus. just watched 'The Great Escape' on the Military Channel. Why do Americans still believe in this heroic shit, when the truth is so much harder. These poor souls were basically executed after some foolish attempts to escape and yet the film industry had to make stars out of some good looking guys and didn't give a shit about real history"

Well, first off, _The Great Escape_ film is bunk, unfortunately.

Second, was the actual historical escape "heroic shit"? It absolutely was.

The actual historical escape got the escapers illegally executed without trial -- on the personal order of Adolf Hitler -- because of the panicked effect that the escape created.

Most of Nazi Europe abruptly ground to a halt while every single available military and civilian asset had to be pressed into service to find the escapers. Requiring substantial diversion of effort from the multiple war fronts the Nazis were trying to manage. Transportation stopped. Communications were locked down. Everyone had to produce their papers. It had a hugely disproportionate effect relative to its modest size.

Those who were shot, The Fifty, did their duty as officers in wartime behind enemy lines. It was their duty to try to escape, no matter what. Jamming what they had into the enemy war machinery to slow it down. What they had were their own persons and nothing more. Knowing that, they went anyway.

Don't watch the bunk Hollyweird movie. Read Peter Brickhill's memoir.

207 I don't think that was the BSG music in that mash-up above. The score was done by Bear McCreary and it was all that tribal drum stuff. It was different when I first saw it, with the shaky cam footage and all the dogfighting. But then it got old. Also, just how did the Galactica keep replacing all their Vipers? They had maybe a dozen or so at the beginning after the shiny new ones were all wiped out from the Cylon hax. In one ep, Adama is trying to raid a Cylon fuel station and Dr. Gaius asks where the reserve Vipers are. Adama says there are no reserve Vipers and "everything we have is on the board". Posted by: EC at August 10, 2013 11:06 PM (doBIb) The "old" Vipers were part of the museum exhibit that the Galactica was going to become. They did touch on the loss of Vipers when they had one episode where they built several replacement ones including the stealth Viper. Also, the Pegasus had a Viper "factory" on-board, so they could replace lost Vipers, and the Pegasus' Vipers all transferred over to the Galactica after the Pegasus was destroyed. 66 I'm a traditionalist, I liked the old show, and the old score, I liked Glen Larson 's production value the fact that the Cylons weren't misunderstood, they were murderous robots., Posted by: solomon grundy at August 10, 2013 11:05 PM (Jsiw/) Don't get me wrong, I was growing up when the original came on.

all the lawsuits being filed against CA's EPA to stop construction."

Of course! Did anyone ever expect anything different from the Obama EPA?

And while this laughable travesty has no more useful future than did the Detroit People Mover, the rest of America are going to get presented with the tab for building Commiefornia some high speed rail, courtesy of the Obama administration.

Seriously, that is the plan. If you do NOT want your grandchildren stuck shouldering the two hundred billion bucks to build HSR in Commiefornia, then you better be on those phones first thing on Monday morning, giving your Congresscritters an earful about it.

The way to go is to force CA to finance the whole catastrophe at the state level with state-issued bonds with no federal help. This will further accelerate the slide into the financial abyss for Commiefornia.

But if the rest of the country doesn't rise up in outrage, I absolutely flatly guarantee you that the Obama administration and CA's governor Jerry Moonbeam Brown can and will stick you with the bill for building out the "Brown Streak".

In Calgary, there is a shop that will rent you time on a commercial-scale sandblasting station in their compound. About $70/hour, last time I used it. But you can get a LOT done in an hour with a one-inch blast nozzle. They provide gloves and an air-supplied respirator hood and helmet. Key techniques is to keep back a foot or two, and keep the sand stream moving. Holding it still on one stubborn spot will warp sheet metal for sure. It's actually kind of fun to do. Closest thing you will ever experience to having a magic wand. Rust and dirt vanish before your eyes. Sandblasting does not work well on greasy, gooey dirt; the sand just embeds in it. But paint, rust, corrosion, and powder coat are all amenable to abrasive blast removal.

I own a similar needle scaler, and it is useful, but realistically, you will need a 5 horsepower compressor to run it for more than a minute or two at a stretch. And that means a 5 HP compressor running on 240 volts. 5HP compressors rated at 120 volts are not really 5 horsepower.

It drives the multiple needles onto the surface to break the rust scale off. then you can stabilize or remove the remaining rust with chemically and paint over it. Way less messy than sand blasting. I have used Naval jelly to remove remaining rust and a product that chemically changes rust from an oxide. Point being any rust left behind will bubble the paint again.

If Muffler, get J B weld and plug that puppy up.

If Pipe:
Get some cans (this used to last longer when you could get cans that were thicker and steel)

cut off the ends and slice long ways.
Wrap them around pipe where break is
get metal tape used for heating/ac duct
wrap tightly and run out beyond where cans end.

This will still make noise due to the amount of pressure but it will get you by until whatever.

Define "temp"....if it's "gets you past the ticket-hungry state patrols for 300 miles until you can get home and have your own mechanic fix it while you're at work instead of letting it fuck my vacation sideways", that's a definite "maybe".

Not gonna' look at it again.  But when I did, and after a little chit chat about it with others, I seem to recall tray tray  being kind of faceless in the hoodie and MLK off to the side ----- as if to say he would approve, this is all about civil rights, etc. etc.  It's all rather outrageous the more so because it's at the capitol.

Then again Scott has had a bunch of illegals camped out in his foyer for weeks.  It it was a country of laws they would be arrested.  Oh well.

She doesn't jump the whole way, of course, but instead slides over to be petted.

Slowin' the pace.....



A REIT is the virtual form of a rental -- if you had one good property and leased it to one good tenant, you'd be ahead of a REIT....but (supposedly) they've amassed a plethora of tenants and have mathematically ensured that their loss exposure is on-track to where their yields will be good.

424 More details about the mural at : http://tinyurl.com/lhmsjdg "The message of the 100-foot mural, created by Miami artist Huong, is "We are all Trayvon Martin." ... Huong also joined the Dream Defenders, a group holding a sit-in protest outside Gov. Rick Scott's office for the past four weeks. The group plans on taking the artwork on a nationwide tour, although the exact locations are not yet known. The Dream Defenders want Florida's Stand Your Ground law repealed, but Scott said he will not call a special session over the matter." With any luck, Zimmerman's lawyers will investigate Huong and empty his bank account for him.

Just found out from a lefty friend at Facebook that the legendary far-left radio network, Pacifica, is going completely bankrupt. In fact someone actually posted video on YouTube from today of them in their car, tuning into KPFK, Pacifica's Los Angeles station, and they heard... nothing. Dead air. Complete silence.

(By the way, said lefty friend is perfectly fine with Pacifica's demise. He thinks they were a bunch of insane nutjobs anyway.)

464 It was be good if Pacifica went tits up. How it survived the HUAC era when so much of its leadership was openly communist remains a mystery. Here were actual witches, out in the open, and the witch hunt just rode on by. Unless, of course, Hollywood leftys have been lying to us for decades about the horrors of HUAC. (Which, BTW, was started by a Dem back when they had a vestige of sense.)

But the KPFK live stream is still going and I cannot find any evidence thus far that it isn't business as usual over there. The Twitter timeline indicates there was some sort of address given by a high mucky-muck today but I haven't any transcript.

That's the true aim of ObamaCare...to remove that "inequity" (unless you're a member of Congress or one of the other privileged classes in our brave new world). Now you selfish bastards can no longer spend your own money on yourself as you see fit. You will be forced to pool your resources so that we all may be equal. Naturally, "equal" will be defined by the experts in DC, who won't be subject to their own brand of "fairness".
