Overnight Open Thread (5-6-2014)

You'll get the AOSQDD dregs and you'll be grateful for them. Just consider this pre-season practice for the camps.

Global Warming Climate Change Getting a New Name: 'Climate Disruption'

Of course whatever you call it hasn't been happening for almost two decades now.

When the Going Gets Tough, Obama Goes Birther

Most people think of Obama as inept but likable; I think inept and mean-spirited is closer to the truth. As he has so often recently, Obama attacked Fox News. He seems to think that he might have had a successful presidency, if only Fox had gotten with the program:
Let's face it, Fox, you will miss me when I'm gone. It will be harder to convince the American people that Hillary was born in Kenya.
The only person trying to keep birtherism alive is Obama, as it suits his purposes to portray his critics as a bunch of wingnuts. But Fox News was not the source of birtherism, Obama himself was. For close to twenty years, his official literary bio said that he was born in Kenya. Also-this is pure speculation - I suspect the main reason why Obama's college and law school records are a state secret is that he applied as a foreign student born in Kenya, and received favored treatment as such.

Did They Learn Nothing from Poltergeist?!

A 4,500-year-old American Indian burial ground-one of the richest and best preserved found in California in the past century-has been paved over for a multimillion dollar housing development in the Bay Area. And archeologists are pissed.

Of course it's my understanding that ghosts fizzle out after a few hundred years. And archeologists can be kept at bay by elaborate man-traps, ancient religious cults, and strictly enforced government regulations. So they're good.

UN Committee To Target Islamic Kidnapping, Rape And Torture

As if. Nope, they're investigating the Vatican over torture and abuse instead.

They were required to analyze information from multiple, credible sources.

The 18-page assignment instructions included three sources that students were told to use, including one that stated gassings in concentration camps were a "hoax" and that no evidence has shown Jews died in gas chambers.

"With all this money at stake for Israel, it is easy to comprehend why this Holocaust hoax is so secretly guarded," states the source, which is a attributed to a webpage on biblebelievers.org.au. "In whatever way you can, please help shatter this profitable myth. It is time we stop sacrificing America's welfare for the sake of Israel and spend our hard-earned dollars on Americans."

The other sources were from the websites history.com and about.com.

U-2 Causes Widespread Shutdown of US Flights Out of LAX

Because the traffic control computers weren't able to handle something flying so high and so fast. Luckily the rumored Aurora plane isn't even detectable by LAX radars.

The Vice Guide to Adulthood

HYGIENE

It is quite possible that your parents didn't teach you certain things about hygiene while you were growing up. It's quite possible that you don't even have human parents, and were perhaps born from a turd similar to the ones you continuously leave in the bowl without flushing after visiting a public restroom, like a DNA stink-abortion for the next person to discover. Hate to break the news to you, pal, but if you haven't managed to tackle how to properly deal with your fecal waste, everything else in life is going to seem like an impossible challenge.

Amen brother.

Where Doritos Came From

Well the idea came from a dumpster.

In 1955, not long after Disneyland opened in Anaheim, California, the Frito-Lay snack company opened "Casa de Fritos," a Mexican-style restaurant in Disneyland's Frontierland. Casa de Fritos got its tortillas from Alex Foods, a local tortilla factory.

One day, a salesman from Alex Foods noticed that Casa de Fritos was dumping stale tortillas in the trash. He gave the kitchen a tip: instead of trashing the stale tortillas, cut them up and fry them.

Some time later, Archibald Clark West, a marketing executive for Frito-Lay, stops by Casa de Fritos and encounters the repurposed snack. He falls in love with them, contracts Alex Foods to produce them, and in 1964 the Dorito is born.

Obama goes birther.

My wife has a friend who lived in Hawaii for 4 years as a travel nurse. Said friend hated it with a passion, stating that everyone (imitates Gary Oldman in The Professional: "EVERYONE!!!") is corrupt on the islands and that she doesn't trust the birth certificate that was eventually produced.  So take that for what you will.

50 PS. on the topic of Alpha - if I recall correctly, Brady's team got alpha'ed by the fuckin' Broncos this year. You know, the Colorado team; which team went on to lose the Super Bowl so hard as to clear out the bars in the second quarter. Imagine if the Patriots had got into that game. They'd have set a record... for FAIL.

100 Because the traffic control computers weren't able to handle something flying so high and so fast. Luckily the rumored Aurora plane isn't even detectable by LAX radars.

Oh, honey, you would wear it soooo well!  And, honestly, until the carats go double-digits, it's not too big.  Of course, we're talking flawless, right?  Emeralds are tricky, lot of inclusions on them.  Tell Thor not to screw up!

119 If their software is so lame that a U2 can crash it, what's gonna happen when a meteorite large enough to show on radar goes by?

The meteors are popping pretty high and fast.  I would suspect they are out of the range and speed gates on the radar processor.  There was an old tale in Readers Digest that I recall:

A pilot of Cessna 172 calls in to flight control for an airspeed check. Pilot1: This is Aztex172 request a speed check, Control: we have you at 120kt and 2200ft.  A cocky Navy F18 pilot decides to flash his trash all over the area, calls in an airspeed check despite having better instruments then flight control can measure him Pilot2:  This is Blue14 request a speed check, Control: we have you at 500kts and 20000ft; then before any other traffic can hop in:  Pilot3:  This is Aurora06 requesting a speed check, Control Aurora we have you a 1900Kts and 84000ft.  Pilot3:  Thank you.  Silence on the net.

Since then all the strange black fast things have been called Aurora.

And please don't be mad at me using faggot. I didn't even realize it as a slur til I was about 30. I thought it just meant prissy. And sometimes, damn it, it just FITS.

122 "As a follow-on to the previous mention of almond butter and etc., I just spotted a bottle of pecan oil last weekend. Anyone ever used it for cooking?" Posted by: Mike Hammer at May 06, 2014 10:53 PM (aDwsi) I'd never heard of it, but Wiki says this: The main application of this oil is its use in cooking. It has a high smoke point of 470 degrees F making it ideal for cooking at high temperatures and for deep frying. The mild nutty flavor gives this oil the unique ability to enhance the flavor of ingredients, making it a popular component of salad dressings and dips. Pecan oil is much lighter than olive and is well suited for everyday cooking.

170 A 4,500-year-old American Indian burial ground-one of the richest and best preserved found in California in the past century-has been paved over for a multimillion dollar housing development in the Bay Area. And archeologists are pissed. Of course it's my understanding that ghosts fizzle out after a few hundred years. And archeologists can be kept at bay by elaborate man-traps, ancient religious cults, and strictly enforced government regulations. So they're good. All they need to do is give the Indian ghosts some ghost blankets with ghost smallpox on it and that should take care of any unpleasantness.

Discuss.

Posted by: logprof at May 06, 2014 11:13 PM (un0yB)

 

I'll probably go with Spider Man or X-Men.  And when you say SFX I presume you mean CGI.  Godzilla is going to require probably a bit of CGI just on principle so I don't think it could be called overblown.  Whereas the other two will likely be using CGI where practical SFX would work just as well and look much less cartoony.

He was one of the few with doppler capability and I can't remember for sure how fast he said it was, I think he said 25,000 MPH. At any rate, it was on the screens on then gone in just a few sweeps. They were told to shutup and fuggetaboutit. I'm guessing it was either an ECM test or a meteorite. Posted by: SpongeBobSaget at May 06, 2014 11:08 PM (L02KD) A returning Apollo command module?

The guy is such a loser that he makes the Precedent's resume look stellar. I bet he brags about being an "educator" in his campaign, when in truth he never actually taught and only finished his degree by special dispensation from his university. As for his main claim to fame, well, never has any singing-show contestant started out with so much success and just thrown it all away due to idiotic career choices and probably his own personal issues. I'm pretty sure that his only reason for trying politics now (besides a desperate attempt at the spotlight) is to advocate for LGBT rights at the expense of those holding traditional religious beliefs. I know way more than I wish I did about the guy and his pathetic career. Don't feed his 0bama-sized ego by sending him to Congress, please.

My goodness, LAX must be a busy place these days.

For what it's worth, I have talked to former flight crew out of both the SR-71 community and the Space Shuttle community, and both said that it was routine for LA air traffic control to have them on the scope inbound to Edwards. No fuss, no muss, no problems.

If you live in a completely liberal-dominated place like the Bay Area for a few years, and if you pay attention, you suddenly realize that things which liberals claim to venerate, like "cultural sensitivity" or "biodiversity", suddenly get shoved to the back burner when a real estate developer with connections to the local liberal political machine comes calling.

IIRC the U2 is not fast.. it has a very small speed window that it has to stay within at altitude. If it flies to fast the wings will be ripped off, if it flies to slow it will stall. Again IIRC the window is about 10 knots around 400 knots.

 

Posted by: The Jackhole somewhere on Ventura Highway at May 06, 2014 07:37 PM (Q4U+O)

295

It was the altitude, not the speed-over-ground of the U-2.

 

 

The U-2 was, is, and always has been a subsonic aircraft.  Fact is, most the airliners are faster at their operating altitudes, and the U-2 only matches speeds with 'em at FL-50 or above.

 

 

And, oh hell.......it wasn't even the altitude.  The many accounts of the SR-71 speed and altitude calls from LAX controllers are myriad, and legendary in status.

 

 

It was the same programmers in the FAA, that had previously worked on the Obamacare rollout.

363 It's human nature to want daddy and mummy to fix things for us. In the early 1920s, Americans (at least) were mature enough to tough it out. (The Italians weren't.) In the early 1930s, Americans, Frenchmen and, um, Germans and Japanese weren't.

 Never had Thai? Man, if you like hot food, you are missing out. Pad Thai is probably the most popular Thai dish, but I love red curry with beef or pork. And there's a beef salad - I think it's called Crying Tiger? - that will make you hurt. In a good way. I like squid, but many people do not, so there is also some great spicy shrimp dishes. Soups are also wonderful. Damn, now I'm hungry.

423 I gotta rant about the neighbours though. This time of year, I like to have the windows open. A cool breeze at night ventilates the indoors from the heat of the day, yadda yadda. That *is* how it is done in the mountain west, yes? But last night the people next door figured it was a good time to "get romantic". Of course they couldn't do the thing, I dunno, after dinner. No. They had to make their X rated sound effects between 1 am and 4 am. The racket they made - mostly, SHE made - woke me up and kept me up. And - despite how the screenname might imply - I am not, in fact, a connoisseur of other peoples' sexual machinery. Should I shout out my window "she's faking it" next time?

426 In Vox Day's opinion, Boko Haram is the West's fault. We "weaponised" the women of the world, and al-Islam fought back. "Look what you made me do!". Posted by: boulder t'hobo at May 06, 2014 11:15 PM (30eLQ) I don't think that's his argument. He's pointing out the link between two ideas: "The attack in Nigeria is part of a global backlash against girls’ education by extremists." "The best tool to fight extremism is education, especially of girls — and that means ensuring that it is safe to study." Fighting tools are weapons. This doesn't mean that we should leave the extremists alone, but we shouldn't be surprised they target "our" "weapons". If "we" are willing to risk the lives of girls by educating them but are not willing to protect them from the backlash, there's a hypocrisy in coldly using them as pawns and then broadcasting outrage when they're harmed.

I have to tell all the Thai restaurants around me:

"No! Not farang hot. Thai hot! Thai hot!"

Otherwise they wimp it out so as not to scare white people who can't deal.

Actually, Chinese still peg the meter. The only time I have ever thought I might need to seek medical attention after the meal, it was so hot, was in a Chinese joint. And that was without being prompted. The dish (can't remember what) was listed as hot-hot, but that sucker was absolutely scorching.

Ok. will do.


i just read a review of Kublai Khan that had me bent over laughing out loud:



"

IAmKing Musk

This is my very first Serge Lutens purchase.

First off, I would like to say this to all High End Department stores i.e Barneys New York and Bergdorf Goodman. If you hire someone to represent the Fragrance section, make sure you quiz the individual on the fragrance they are representing, because I shouldnt have to stand there and explain to your employees what Serge Lutens is and what is Muscs Kublai Khan or Tuberuese Criminelle.

Now, to MKK.

Starts off from first spray of Florals and a lil bit of anamalic Musk. Then evolves to a full blown Dirty Musck, sexy and "sex" like.

Ive been reading the reviews on many sites from smelling like ass to dirty nutts to rose smelling HOBOS. None of these is true. But I will tell you this, this fragrance is not fro the faint at heart. I couldnt see a woman wearing this. SOrry Ladies. It would be a total turn off. But it also takes a Manly-type of man, powerful and confident to pull this off.

Longevity is a monster, but silliage is moderate, which it should be, because more than one or two sprays and you are asking for it.

I would wear this fragrance more on a third or forth date out, or cozing up with a significant other. On the first date or sexy hookup, i would wear Musc Ravegeur, hands down!!"



From this review. I could almost call this the official scent of AOSHQ, or "what to wear when you are going to the barrel." Now i really really want to try it.

 I like really hot salsa, chili, Thai food, Mexican - although my stomach doesn't any more, it's no longer cast iron. I probably corroded it through the years. Every now and then, I'll say to hell with it and eat something fiery, realizing full well I'll pay for it.

 

The only time I've eaten something so hot it was torture rather than pleasure was at a restaurant on a hilltop in Puerto Rico. I ordered a Mexican dish made with peppers I had never heard of - I thought the top of my skull was going to burst open and my brains would hit the ceiling.

447 "No! Not farang hot. Thai hot! Thai hot!"

I like what our new place in Weatherford does, they ask you how hot you want on a scale of 1 to 5.  My friends who I have to be very careful with my cooking for, as in remove the seeds from the half a jalapeno, like it at zero.  I've asked for 4 both times and it provides a nice warm glow without being painful.

455 Actually, I think Harding was President at the time. It was 1920-21.

Coolidge continued those sensible hands-off economic policies, and was the last President to do so.

Posted by: rickl at May 07, 2014 12:16 AM (sdi6R)


The depression lasted from January 1920 to July 1921.  Woodrow Wilson, whatever his condition, was president until March 4, 1921.  So Coolidge had nothing to do with it, and even Harding was barely involved (as he was with most things that happened during his presidency).

456 for people that hate the smell of men's cologne i kinda like l'occitane "Vetiver" its herbal, and vetiver essential oil is something i have used to calm nervous mares forever, by rubbing a tiny bit on their nose. Seems to have positive effect even on a person who puts it on, perking them up. i dunno usually just registers as "oh, herbal. nice." without al that complicated notes of civet (cat pee) or musk (balls)

I've actually made batches of chili that were delicious... yet still inedible, because I added too much cayenne and ghost pepper salsa to the mix. SpongeBobSaget: there's a similar scale (1 to 10) at a cajun place in Santa Ana I recently discovered, called Ritter's. I *love* their seafood, tomato and saffron bouillabaise and have ordered it as hot as an 8. Someday I'm going to man up and order a 10 though.

439 "Never had Thai? Man, if you like hot food, you are missing out." I have to tell all the Thai restaurants around me: "No! Not farang hot. Thai hot! Thai hot!"

 

Yes, you do have to say that, especially here in the Midwest where mild salsa can cause most people's eyes to water. When I make chili for a crowd, I always have to remind myself to stop adding the cumin and chili powder until I find it acceptable, because it will be unpalatable for most of my friends and relatives at that point.

I love cilantro - and also cumin.

 

But that's one reason why I always resented it when my mother made us eat liver (which she loved and the kids hated). She kept saying, "It's delicious! You'll come to love it!" Nope, never, ever did - in fact the smell of fried liver turns my stomach to this day.

 

 People - well, my mother, anyway - do not get that when you love a food and somebody else hates it, they are not tasting the same thing you are. Their taste buds are not processing it the same way yours are. They're not saying "I hate it!" because they're being stubborn or close-minded or picky.

522 Vetiver is so popular in perfumes now, Gushie. They put so much in Chanel 19 now that I can't even wear it. I wonder of you'd like Sycomore? Another men's fragrance, (Chanel) but it has lots of vetiver and smells of the outsdoors.

528 we have had noisy neighbors and I have determined it is really only a problem if ugly. young hot girls screaming all night, not such a problem for me. Interestingly, we had a pair renting the apartment next to us, he was gay, she was straight, however, the only time I have ever heard someone screaming "keep fucking my ass" and variations thereof, was her when she was home alone. I am not sure if it was the right thing or not, however when MrsYankeeFifth asked "what is she saying?", I only said "I dunno." I hate to lie to my wife but I did not see how that was gonna make my night any better.

As to food heat, it always was a puzzle to me why Chinese mustard is so much hotter than regular ole American yellow mustard so one day I looked it up:
 
http://chinesefood.about.com/od/sauces/a/hot-mustard.htm
 
And the word itself has an interesting origin:
 
the name mustard comes from the Latin words mustum (much) and ardens (burning).
 
To me, Chinese mustard is hotter than most peppers.

Today wasn't too bad -- I explained that I probably wouldn't breathe during the procedure, and if I passed out to complete the draw before attempting to revive me -- oh, and that it is very helpful for them to say, "clear" once the needle is out.

I've tried that, and the psychological effect isn't as severe, but it does take longer and it's easier for them to collapse the vein.


Still, the funniest manifestation of this particular phobia was how I'd get a splinter, and my mom would say, "I'll go get a needle to get it out" -- and I'd use the tweezers to dig the splinter out by excavating chunks of my hand before she could return with the needle.

Posted by: cthulhu at May 06, 2014 09:41 PM (T1005)

590 While i don't really understand aichmophobia, I get that people suffer. I do respect your tolerance for pain a lot though. I could tell you stories of trying to get people to stitch me up, or even actual attempts - to the point of the needle going through one piece of skin but the "stitcher" backed down, but you wouldn't believe them. Electrical tape and/or super glue can prevent a lot of stitches if you're the type.

597 593 While i don't really understand aichmophobia, I get that people suffer. I do respect your tolerance for pain a lot though.

I could tell you stories of trying to get people to stitch me up, or even actual attempts - to the point of the needle going through one piece of skin but the "stitcher" backed down, but you wouldn't believe them.
Electrical tape and/or super glue can prevent a lot of stitches if you're the type.

Back in the day, there was some study that found that the amount of nerve impulses among pain nerves was much larger from wearing a really badly-fitting pair of shoes than from an entire appendectomy.....yet, few people will attempt an appendectomy without anesthetic, even if they have to walk to a hospital in badly-fitted shoes. People's minds rebel against the concept of certain things with regard to their bodies, and the physical pain is merely a prompt to get the ball rolling. I have to be told "clear" when the needle is out because with all the grabbing my elbow and holding the cotton pad and everything, I could be mistaken.....but as soon as things are "clear", I can start recovering.



I've also likened it to having a live rattlesnake coiled on your chest. You don't actually have to be bitten to be stressed about it.

600 One day, a salesman from Alex Foods noticed that Casa de Fritos was dumping stale tortillas in the trash. He gave the kitchen a tip: instead of trashing the stale tortillas, cut them up and fry them. Some time later, Archibald Clark West, a marketing executive for Frito-Lay, stops by Casa de Fritos and encounters the repurposed snack. He falls in love with them, contracts Alex Foods to produce them, and in 1964 the Dorito is born. There's a problem with this story. The problem is simply that Archibald Clark West must have been outrageously ignorant if, when he encountered the fried tortillas, he thought they were some brilliant newfangled snack that he could develop and market. Cutting up stale tortillas and frying them into what we now call "tortilla chips" had been going on in Mexican cuisine for hundreds of years already by the time Archibald Clark West "discovered" them at the Disneyland Frito-Lay restaurant. I can only guess that despite being an executive for Frito-Lay, he had never actually been to a real Mexican restaurant before. In the old days, simply the whole tortilla was fried; it wasn't until the 1940s that cutting them up into triangles first became popularized. (And even that innovation happened two decades before the Dorito). Why is it that people with decision-making power are often the least-aware people in any organization?

601 @Cthulhu, Yeah, the worst of most pain is about expectation. The same reason is behind a lot of placebo effects. Neuroscientist Ramachandran has described a neat trick. He'll put your hand under the table, where you can't see it, and begin stroking a spot on the hand in the same rhythm as a separate spot on the top of the table. Then, when he's built up an identity, he'll pull out a hammer and whack the shit out of the spot on the table, causing your galvanic skin response (a pain indicator) to spike through the roof, even though your hand wasn't touched. Pain is mostly mental.

602 I've had crowns put on (and, now, one changed!), cavities filled, and periodontal cleaning done without anesthesia. It really speeds things up, and you bounce out of it quickly, beyond the other "no needle" thing.

Posted by: cthulhu at May 07, 2014 01:27 AM (T1005)



Yeah no way would I do that. The dentist sent me to some specialist for a root canal because these days he would rather send you to the high tech dudes instead of doing them himself. The dude he sends me to is going to do a root canal and has the balls to ask if I want to be numbed up. I said are you fucking kidding me??? Numb me me up big. He gives me this short shot that barely did anything and starts to drill. I said woah dude give me some more, and let it settle in. So, he gives me a little more and goes right to the drilling. 15 seconds in  I stop him and said dude, don't be be cheap with the shit, use a whole frigging needle if you have to. He says wow you use alot huh? I said call my dentist and let him tell you how much I use, because I bet its 10X more than you're giving me. The guy was a frigging sadist. He had the balls to be surprised that I needed to be numb before he drills into 3 roots.

607 Slap, I peeled off my knuckle while remodeling a bathroom last year. I cleaned the wound well, wrapped it in paper towels & tape, then went back to work. Four hours later, when MIL (for lack of a better term) saw a trail of blood, she said "chi, you need stitches." "But, I can't afford that shit. I'll be fine" "Want me to stitch you up?" "Sure." She got her husbands' kit, pulled out sterile needle & catgut, but couldn't make it through skin once without getting sick. My hand was so numb by then, I never felt a thing. If it wasn't my right hand, I would've tried myself. I'm still in debt to the ER for 3 grand for 3 stitches that didn't take. Should've been at least seven.

There's more of a problem than that. Casa de Fritos had to have come after Fritos (which later merged with Lay's potato chips to become Frito-Lay). And Fritos were fried course-ground corn meal (see http://tinyurl.com/ylzg67x ). So how much demand would there have been at Casa de Fritos to have yet another type of chip?

613 I was scared of needles up until around the time I had my first serious bout of depression. (I'd had it all along but that was the first time it got so bad medical intervention was sought, due to the combination with a case of mono a doctor had failed to diagnose.) After that something changed and it just didn't bother me any more.

The growth on my hand I had removed last year was a real test. The procedure was excision and cauterization with a little fleshy arc welder kind of thing. The hard part was the Novocaine injection near the base of my index and middle fingers of my right hand, near the growth's location. (One of these: http://tinyurl.com/mmjqk6d ) So I kept my my right arm completely still while expressing my discomfort with the left.

614 605-- after my dentist botched a replaced filling and I needed a root canal he sent me to an endodontist that liked a LOT of anesthesia. I hate the way lidocaine w epinephrine feels....like a panic attack so I told him only marcaine which has no epi. He gave me crap and said I'd stop him in 20 min in pain but the marcaine lasted 4 hours and way past the hour I needed. They need to do a nerve block for it to really deaden the pain and I think some dentists aren't good at that. It's not how much, it's where you put the anesthesia. Of course as he hands me 3 Advil on my way out I said what about Vicodin? He laughed. Totally right. Once the botched tooth was fixed I was fine. Nice to have gotten some Vicodin out of it though....

624 And Fritos were fried course-ground corn meal (see http://tinyurl.com/ylzg67x ). So how much demand would there have been at Casa de Fritos to have yet another type of chip? Posted by: cthulhu Nixtamalization, my friend -- nixtamalization. That is why there was in fact an unexpected demand for tortilla chips in the restaurant as opposed to Fritos corn chips, which has been the only thing available is Casa de Fritos previously. Corn processed via nixtamalization tastes infinitely more "Mexican" than simply forming straight-up non-nixtamalized corn meal into chips, which is what a Frito is. As a result, serving "corn chips" (made with non-nixtamalized corn) simply tastes weird when paired with actual Mexican food. There are no corn chips in actual Mexican cuisine. I can only imagine that in yet another epic case of total mind-blowing ignorance, the Frito corporate decision-makers never even knew this, never even knew what nixtamalization was, and just stupidly assumed that corn is corn and founded an entire restaurant around the bizarre mismatched pairing of corn chips and Mexican food. But the moment (by sheer chance, as recounted in the original anecdote) that actual tortilla chips (made via nixtamalization) appeared on the menu, the diners were like -- Yow! This is what your corn chips are supposed to taste like. That is why there was in fact a demand for tortilla chips in a restaurant based on corn chips.

626 I've got the medical grade superglue on hand, but I still have to get one of those disposable sterile veterinary medical staplers for closing large wounds.

As always, decontaminate, disinfect and debride _thoroughly_ before closing up a serious open wound.

Last time we were talking about this, someone mentioned packing the wound with  a mixture of sugar saturated with Betadine, which they said was a special forces medical trick.

I've got the special forces improvised field medicine handbook on the shelf here, the late 1980s version, and it doesn't mention sugar as a wound packing agent, but on researching the idea, it does seem to be sensible and well justified.

Back when I still had pets, I was buying online thru an Australian pet meds site with no scrip and a price about 1/2 of going thru the vet. Yes, the stuff had Aussie origin labels and it was the same name brand product.
 
And yes, it worked so it wasn't counterfeit. Sadly, I no longer remember the site name. Lead time was about 4 weeks though.

Time was, some rat bastard who did this sort of thing would be horsewhipped by his neighbors first, then turned over to the police. In SF today, they'd probably have a circle-jerk in his honor.



Incidentally, I've seen a dog poisoned by strychnine. I spent a summer break from college at my gf's dad's place -- up in the canyons of Tujunga. They had three dogs, and I was the one who noticed that one was acting very strangely. They bundled the dog up and hauled ass to the vet, but it was too late.

They used to have a "do your own thing" vibe in SF -- even after I moved up here in 1986. But it's now "depravity to stick it to the squares" 24/7/365. It isn't fun, it isn't pretty, it doesn't amuse, and I'm not sympathetic. There comes a point where you cannot disguise evil with goofy eccentricity.



The same thing could be said about the Choom Gang -- they were "funny". And then our current President's first political campaign was launched from the couch of someone who famously said,
"Dig it, first they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, then they even shoved a fork into a victim's stomach. Wild!". [ http://tinyurl.com/7vtzb ]

Disturbing photos of Cecily MacMillan getting arrested. As one commenter wrote: wasn't sure whether that was a hitched skirt that she was wearing, or some sort of a hipster cumberbun.

Only thing disturbing is that you can see her pubic hair.

I don't know if that is the only thing disturbing....

Are you ok? What the hell are you doing up at this ungodly hour?

665 just woke up, got lots of crap to do

Posted by: chemjeff at May 07, 2014 02:13 AM (9GG/0)

666 Unless I'm mistaken, it's about 5 am there....did you wake up because you had lots of crap, or 'cause your alarm was set? 'Cause spontaneously awakening at 5 am is not good.

667 Good Morning! I have been up since before 4 am. I have roses that I have to plant today. It's supposed to be best day of the week, but it's held steadily at 45 degrees since I woke up. I almost went back to sleep but I have too much to do outside. I think I have 14 roses to plant. I have list but it's in another room to go outside with me,

It's like I don't even recognize you people -- you're transmuting into Daywalkers before my eyes.

Yeah, I'll admit it -- I currently have no coworkers, I'm on an iffy basis with my family, and I utterly despise my local, state, and Federal government....so I fret about the well-being of fellow morons.

671 The federal judge's order out of Wisconsin blowing up the Democrat's Star Chamber to criminalize political dissent is something out of a horror show. The judge very eloquently explained what the Democrat's plan is with lawfare. The use of the IRS against dissenters is just another one of their tactics which has been exposed. The first amendment civil rights suit against the fascist prosecutors may proceed and has left them exposed like roaches in the night. The whole decision is located http://preview.tinyurl.com/mrpeta3

672 no, I spontaneously woke up at about 5am.

673 Carol that sounds pleasant, planting roses

674 you're on an iffy basis with your family? what happened to BH?

Posted by: chemjeff at May 07, 2014 02:34 AM (9GG/0)

675 Cthulhu & Fluffy, Are you asking me why I'm up so early? I my shoulder still hurts & it woke me up. I think I've posted that there is nothing physically wrong with it, pain is from pinched nerves in my neck. Meds do not help. I'm going back Friday for second injection in neck for it. Cthulhu, why are you peeing so much or is it a TMI question?

Posted by: Carol at May 07, 2014 02:35 AM (gjOCp)

676 oh Carol, that sounds terrible.

Posted by: chemjeff at May 07, 2014 02:36 AM (9GG/0)

677 Chemjeff, I had pain doctor look at it in late 2010 when I was about to get second injection for neck pain. He picked up my arm & said there is nothing wrong with it & he'd look at MRI & see what he could do about it. He said he could inject C5 from left side of my neck. I had those in January 2011 & they worked for three years. Usual is 8 to 10 months. Using computers & iPhones do not help neck or shoulder. iPad is okay if I have it on stand on kitchen table, which is how I'm using it now

678 well look on the bright side, at least you get the ampersands

wish that there was something more that could be done about the pinched nerves

679 For what it's worth, I have talked to former flight crew out of both the SR-71 community and the Space Shuttle community, and both said that it was routine for LA air traffic control to have them on the scope inbound to Edwards. No fuss, no muss, no problems.

That was my take on the situation.  LAX has had high fast fliers over them for a long time.  For a U-2 to crash the system now is horseshit of the highest caliber.

BH is fine -- I come from a long line of curmudgeons.
