Hahaha. Remember that NY newspaper editor that published gun owner addresses and put them on a map? Well, karma is a beotch. Balloon Defense
So DC is getting some balloons for cruise missile defense. Um, who exactly is going to be launching these cruise missiles? Canada? And is this really a threat right now?
Within a year, a pair of souped-up $2.7 billion blimps (price includes R&D) will be floated 10,000 feet above the District of Columbia and act as a 340-mile-wide eye in the sky, detecting incoming missiles and the like.
Math
Oh man. This student is screwed if he is in a Common Core school district. Evidently a student was using his cell phone in math class so the teacher took it away, put in a pin code which required the student to solve the above problem in order to unlock his phone. Teaching the importance of math to students.
Fanboy Movie
Not too shabby. Wolverine vs Predator.
Shark Week
Well, it has been Shark Week this week on the Discovery Channel. In light of this, take the Shark Personality Quiz and see what kind of shark you are.
Don't Be This Guy
This reporter isn't too smart. How I aided and abetted my own debt card fraud.
Hunger Strike For Tatas
Topless activist on jail hunger strike. Kinda silly for a 16 day jail stay instead of just paying the $816 fine.
Instead of paying the $816 in fines with money, Pappas said Feeley could instead pay with jail time, at a rate of $50 a day. But the math is fuzzy: it costs taxpayers $179 a day to house an inmate at the jail, Sheriff Shaun Golden has said.Court administrator Kathryn Garrecht said the judge was not calculating how much it costs to keep her in the jail.
"The $50 (a day) is going toward the fines she owes," Garrecht said. "He's just trying to wipe out the fines for her."
Damn. $179 a day per prisoner?
Priorities
So you are sailing in your yacht with your spouse and a dog and you hit a reef and have to swim to shore. Who do you rescue first? Here's what one bloke did.

What's up morons?
Last night, there was talk about books for the burning times, tmi3rd (I think) recommended an EMT textbook. There are a couple out there, the one I remember using for my EMT training in college was known as the Brady book, I believe that was the publisher's name--not sure if it's the same textbook that was mentioned last night or not. It's probably undergone a few revisions since then. An EMT's skill set is realistically glorified first aid, but that is enough to get you through most non-mortal injuries when you get to it.
Dirty little secret--most of modern medicine is waiting for the body to fix the problem itself. Other than antibiotics to kill infections, or surgery to correct life-threatening anatomic problems, almost everything else is just a way to buy time for the body to take care of the problem. Setting broken bones and draining abscesses without painkillers would suck for the patient, but your long-term outlook is the same.

My grandfather always used to say that there are only two types of medicines.....one makes you feel better, so you don't screw off (slacking) while the body gets better by itself; the other makes you feel worse, so you don't screw off (overdoing) while the body gets better by itself.....

I saw one guys recommendation for a Machinist's Handbook, but that would require some degree of civilization. I would want something on colonial blacksmithing and metal working. Making charcoal isn't that difficult if you've done it once but to make black powder you need a source of sulfur and potassium nitrate.
..and you would want something on bronze age, or early iron age weapons and tactics. Something on animal husbandry for draft animals, sheep, goats, and dairy cattle would be useful. It's really a long list if you think about all the thinks we have forgotten how to do; things we expect to be done for us and available for trade. So you have to ask, what do you have to trade beyond labor?

There are a couple of books on simple machines, the basic calculations and the like. Useful when combined with basic blacksmithing to building things that a small community needs.
The reality is that burning is not going to be a zombie apocalypse where civilization is reduced to ruins. Instead it'll likely be a breakup of the US into regional powers and city-states (LA, NYC, Seattle, Dallas, Chicago, etc).

I think the confusion comes from the statement that the dealer raises the prices on both vehicles. It doesn't say the dealer raises the prices on both vehicles the same amount to meet the 10% requirement and not lose money. So, in a way you can claim it is unsolvable because the question is vague.

Combined with DC cops scanning licenses, they can (and will) do amazing things in the realm of local law enforcement and traffic control.

According to reverse-engineer Vlad Tsrklevich and a number of others, either the FBI or some other law enforcement agency is responsible for the malware in an attempt to identify those using the network. Using the network itself isn't illegal as it is used by some human rights groups and even journalists wishing to remain anonymous but those using it to distribute and collect child abuse material could be in trouble. The FBI press office declined to comment when asked about their involvement with the malware.

No problem if he caught it himself while surfing.
Here's how I would solve this food stamp abuse. The whole program is designed to act as a supplement to someone's regular groceries, not the main source of food. Instead of allowing the EBT cards to be used at stores where they can abuse them, have them only work at "Food Stamp Stores".
Everything in a FSS would be staples: milk, bread, eggs, cereal, fresh fruits and vegetables, etc. No bullshit luxury stuff like lobsters, soda, Twinkies, ice cream. None of that is considered food staples so they've no reason to be looking for it. If they want any of that stuff, they go to a regular grocery store.
But then people will say, "That's too mean and humiliating to send them to a Food Stamp Store to buy food!"
TOO FUCKING BAD!!!! You take the EBT card, you take the deal.

I can easily imagine that after significant losses due to infiltration and kamikaze style attacks that the Allied Forces would've begun to kill on sight anything that moved. (it happpened a few times in the sweep across the pacific.)
Thus the Japanese population might have been reduced by as much as 50%. Perhaps more as commanders implemented methods of attack that was more sparing of ground soldiers.
In fact, I believe that this was one of the arguments finally made for surrender that got through to Hirohito as he didn't wish to be the Emperor who brought that on to his people. And at the time they didn't know we'd blown our wad on nukes and fully believed we might have many more.

The Chicago Tribune reported that Dr. Eric Whitaker, a close friend of Barack Obama, admitted cooperating with federal authorities who are sifting through a $433,000 kickback scheme at the state public health agency Whitaker once led in Illinois.
But Whittaker claims non-involvement in the alleged crimes
Following the indictment of Quinshaunta R. Golden, his chief of staff at Department of Public Health, who is accused of conspiring to divert federal money into her own pocket and then cover it up, Whitaker released a statement.
"I had no firsthand knowledge of the activities outlined in this indictment and was not involved in any way,"

When asked if Obama is linked to the case, given that he is a Whitaker friend who recommended him for the public health job, U.S. attorney Lewis replied “No.”
Yet Whitaker, who golfed with Obama during BamÂ’s 52nd birthday celebration last weekend, left the state public health department in September 2007 to work with Michelle Obama at University of Chicago Medicine before departing that position

You're forgetting the realities of the situation.
Who's going to build, stock, operate those stores?
At what cost to the taxpayer? With what result in the end?
I live in a state where only the state can sell liquor. The state run stores are expensive to run. (Government workers doncha know and government efficiency).
Plus many stories you hear about abuse are false or blown out of proportion.
It would be like cutting off your nose to spite your face and nothing good would come of it. Not even your self satisfaction at people being shamed or inconvenienced.

Since a lot of games have developer's modes, it's no wonder that they exist for the operating system.
I wonder if they're available for other os's also and how to find them.
I always suspected that MS put in back door code that they could use for their particular products that weren't easily usable for other vendors of software. (and I think they got sued over that).
It's so obvious a step to take that I'm guessing many other vendors and software is so equipped.
Adding surveillance snippets would be trivial.

Oh, sweetie, I would have bailed to Calgary decades ago but, unlike the Porous States of America, they have pretty stringent immigration standards and, sadly, due to age and income factors, I was never gonna make the cut. Still, I'd go there in a heartbeat if there was some Canucky cowboy who was looking for a challenge.

I believe the Perseids appear to originate from the zenith; that point directly overhead. Couple nights ago, I caught a glimpse of a small bright fireball that appeared to come from overhead, and disappeared below the horizon a little south of east.

Corporate welfare FTW!
And if those missiles are successfully "detected" by the blimps, what will then happen is... precisely fuck-all. Because there is no well developed defense system for cruise missiles in D.C., or anywhere else.
To say nothing of ballistic missiles.
If the country had stayed on the course which Reagan set for it, there would be reasonably sound defenses in place by now against both cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. Where reasonably sound is defined as a 98% plus chance of an inflight interception and kill before warhead detonation.
The country went off that course. And now the only "defense" there is against missile attack is a laughably thin prototype layer for ballistic missiles that probably has about a 20% chance of intercept. Or less, depending on the vector. Down to 0%.
Cruise missiles? Especially stealth cruise missiles? Fuhgeddaboudid. No chance of stopping them short of the target.

Well, the greentards like to think they are slandering the industry by referring to the "tar sands", but I am pretty sure the first European Explorer (Peter Pond???) to see them dubbed them exactly that. The thick, oxidized oil that oozes out in the banks of the Athabaska River does indeed have the consistency of tar. And tar is a valuable product in its own right.

It was almost always like learning that someone had left a band, really. I didn't know most of these "hidden characters" as a youngster, through my teens. When I lost the cousin that got me my first real job, (with advancement opportunities), I couldn't cry. I was numb.
I couldn't even attend his funeral because I saw that shit coming and I couldn't fake sincerity at his funeral in front of my Aunt and Uncle.
...I was wrong for that. I'll have to make it up to them somehow, sometime, in some way.
I am a cocky bastard. I swagger because I can. I have learned humility through God and I try to remind myself of that every day. ...there, but for the Grace of God, go I."
I can rip assholes with the best of 'em, but that is self-glorification right now and it only feeds the ego. I use my talents, tempered and purposefully. I have to remind myself of that daily, through prayer for others and pure thanks to God for what I have.

When we were in Saint Petersburg, there were some reasonably conventional civic improvement projects that we'd walk through -- and everyone said, "oh, its Putin's doing." We'd be thinking, "well, if it isn't totally hit with graft or cronyism.....seems ok." I mean, it's not as though he's approaching Chicago-levels of corruption.

I suspect that Chicago has been more corrupt than StP during most of the 20th and 21st centuries (to date).

I've been there and done that. I'm too "tired" to do it online and I'm too smart to do it in person, unless I'm given no recourse. (That doesn't happen anymore.)
I'd LOVE to intelligently slice someone up in a methodical, MRI-Sort-of-Way, but I just can't find the justification anymore. It IS out there, but I'll save my search for God, instead of idiots.
Bless you, Peaches. Sleep sound. Sleep deep. Dream of Heaven and all its Glory!

When I tagged out the other night due to your admonishment. It was because I thought if I get yelled at (though yelling is a strong word for what you did) while drinking and posting it's probably best to leave since I've likely done wrong. Poorly worded exit message but thanks for pointing out I was being a dick.

Saw stars, no streakers.
Took long exposure photographs, got lots of smeared dots.
Need $400 camera motor drive star tracker thing.
Same as last year.
Should have just kept drinking, leave heavy duty technical star pictures to the experts.

Oh Yeah! The weight and mass is greater, given the duration. The free market broke up the black market in Russia. The fact that the mafia was openly defiant in both cases, only goes to show the Russians are better at it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but "Our Mafia" plays checkers, while the Russian Mafia plays chess.

The cost of "winning" was something, however. Their tactics are part of our current system, though. Queens are pawns, Knights are rooks and the Bishops are less than Congressmen.
The King moves more than one space and ignores "checks".

Maybe you've seen this, twas new to me...
The kids filed into class Monday morning. They were all very excited. Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on salesmanship.
Little Sally led off. "I sold Girl Scout cookies and I made $30" she said proudly, "My sales approach was to appeal to the customer's civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success."
"Very good", said the teacher.
Little Debbie was next. "I sold magazines" she said, "I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events."
"Very good, Debbie", said the teacher.
Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn. The teacher held her breath. Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacher's desk. "$2,467", he said.
"$2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the world were you selling?"
Toothbrushes", said Little Johnny. "Toothbrushes", echoed the teacher, "How could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much money?"
"I found the busiest corner in town", said Little Johnny, "I set up a Dip & Chip stand and I gave everybody who walked by a free sample." They all said the same thing, "Hey, this tastes like dog poop!" Then I would say, "It is dog poop. Wanna buy a toothbrush? I used the President Obama method of giving you some crap, dressing it up so it looks good, telling you it's free and then making you pay to get the bad taste out of your mouth."
Little Johnny got five stars for his assignment. Bless his heart.

I'll pull out a carpet-square, sip my milk and glean the wonders of the converted undercover patriot, as only Zombie can relay them. He's like Charlotte's Web and James and the Giant Peach all rolled-into-one, (with subversive muckleheads rolled-in.)
As a 1980's Long-Hair, (without a band --I can't tell you how many times I was asked if I was in a band.), I would have gotten laid more -(once)-, if I'd have told a lie instead of always telling the truth.
I could have easily taken the high-school jargon I had been given, (as well as the bullshit my "teachers" handed to me), and converted that into something I already knew. The exploitation was not of "the proletariat", as Mr. Duchez spoke of them, but of The American People, as a whole.
Mr. Duchez, (his real name), liked to tell us that we were like the serfs. We were the share-croppers. We were peons that found ourselves amongst Corporate Giants, while he gathered a government paycheck and looked forward to a "finish line" that wasn't guaranteed to anyone but Government Employees, lest Unions save the unwashed masses.
Whenever I hear the term "under-served", I think of Mr. Duchez. Not because he was amongst them, but because he tried to doom our class to his ungrateful, miserable fate.
I wish I could link to his best stories, but I cannot find them amongst my tangle of Bookmarks. I'm on my seventh beer and this does not bode well for future commentary, let alone engagement.
I'm fairly sure that cthulu is a fan, as well. He's probably got the information at his fingertips. I'll cede to anyone with better "un-drunk" that I...lol.

"AIRSOFT!!!"
My second born, (an overt attempt to emulate his older brother USMC with 5 combat tours), has formed up his own airsoft group. They have the uniforms,(a cross between down range Seals and the SAS) so pronounced their attire that I forbid them from going out in the front yard...least they call down a multi-LAPD SWAT response.
AIRSOFT Weapons.....If you have ever been to an "Evikes" store....."HOLY CRAP!!!"
They have replicated EVERY and I do mean E V E R Y modern military armament known to EVERY pimpled faced teenager with a RAMBO gene/complex.....(not my fault)......SERIOUS!!!!
Save for the "After-Thought" bright pink tip on the barrel....(If I catch them with the "Electrical tape do-over again.....) the guns are the REAL DEAL!
Cept, they shoot little plastic BB's that sting when they hit ya...YET are powered by PROPANE injector canisters.......
My son just bought a SAW....that's right....a FUCKIN SAW!!! THAT HAS THE SAME RATE OF FIRE AS THE REAL DEAL!!!!
I had "sticks" or "wood shaped like a gun back when we played Army"

I have a particular love of the "Fall"... such as it is in these parts.
There are, for me, a day when I can sense the "tilt" of the Earth's axis,
and the day is so very much cooler than the pervious days, and I smell the "Earth" which is the leaves on the ground and something which just makes me think of "Halloween and Thanks' Giving".
And it is perfect in my mind and body,.........Fall. Intense yet very simple.

There are several books available on Kindle that were written during the Civil War in order to instruct people in the CSA how to do produce basic saltpeter and then how to refine it into the pure stuff suitable for making black powder or preserving meat. It also makes a pretty good fertilizer if you plan to grow vegetables. Since they always had adequate supplies of gunpowder, even if they were short on food, I guess the system worked.
There is also this book at Amazon if you are more interested in the history of saltpeter.
"Saltpeter Mother Gunpowder" by David Cressy
As for the people making fun of the blimps put up to defend Washington, those blimps carry radars so they are kind of a stationary AWACS with the crew on the ground which is a much cheaper way to do things. The $2.7 billion was mainly for research so they could build a whole lot more of them without raising the price significantly, that is if the Ruling Class in the Capitol City thought it was worthwhile to defend people out in the provinces. If you go to Youtube and search for "pulse jets" you can find a whole lot of video and "how to" instructions on how to make your own. With the GPS, accelerometer and computer power in a five year old smart phone, you could make yourself a much better guidance system than was available in the most advanced missiles in the 1960s. The WW II V-1 "Buzz Bomb" had a range of 200 miles and a payload of 2000 pounds. Let's say a back yard tinkerer puts together one with half the range and half the payload. Draw a circle with DC in the center and a 100 mile radius. If our tinkerer's back yard is anywhere in that circle, he can deliver a thousand pounds of explosive to any block in Washington DC. Or say a rogue nuclear power like North Korea or Iran or some dissident group in the Pakistan military builds a cruise missile with twice the range of a V-2 that can deliver a nuclear warhead. They can launch it from a ship several hundred miles at sea off the coast.
