Overnight Open Thread (1-15-2015)–Warning: There is Math Here
Now, I want to make sure that my point is very, very clear, because after all I am trying to explain things to people who think that it's smart to play in traffic. So here we go: society values beloved grandfathers over Lefty protesters. So when it's a choice between an example of the former needing to be rushed to the hospital after a horrible car accident, and examples of the latter risking horrible car accidents, society's default sympathy is going to be with the grandfather. And this is not casual, either: the EMTs could have gotten out of the ambulance this morning and cleared a path with their defibrillators and society would have nodded solemnly and murmured It's a shame that it had to come to that.

Well actually they would be lucky to only get defibrillated.

The Biggest Math Story of the Year - The 1 in 5 Women Lie
Even if you were to accept this statistic, it turns out that it's simply inconsistent with other well-known activist statistics. Which means that there's lying going on here.
The use of the "one in five" statistic began to unravel almost immediately, as a number of people, most notably University of Michigan economics professor Mark Perry, realized that when this statistic is combined with a second claim that only 12% of student victims of sexual assault report their allegations to law enforcement officials, that they cannot possibly both be true.

The top five members of Congress are worth more than the GDP of entire countries. At $200.5 million, Republican Dave Trott's personal wealth is greater than the GDP of both Peru and Iraq ($200,269 and $195,517, respectively). Democrat Jared Polis is worth $213.2 million, more than the GDP of Algeria and ($208,764). Democrat John K. Delaney is worth $222.4, greater than the GDP of the Czech Republic ($208,796). Another Democrat, Mark Warner, is worth $254.2 million, which beats out the GDP of Greece ($241,721). While Republican Darryl Issa, the richest man in Congress, is worth an incredible $448.4 million, which makes him worth more than the GDPs of Bolivia, Croatia, Sri Lanka and Hong Kong put together ($30,601; $57,869; $67,203; and $274,027, respectively).
Lithuania Prepares Its Citizens For a Possible Russian Occupation
Lithuania is publishing a manual to advise its citizens on how to survive a war on its soil as concerns grow that Russia's intervention in Ukraine heralds increased assertiveness in its tiny Baltic neighbors....Lithuania spent much of the last century incorporated in Soviet Union, along with Latvia and Estonia, and upon independence in 1991 quickly sought to join the Western NATO alliance and the European Union.
It is increasingly worried about Russia, not least because of a military drill in the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad last month that featured 9,000 soldiers and more than 55 naval vessels.
"The examples of Georgia and Ukraine, which both lost a part of their territory, show us that we cannot rule out a similar kind of situation here, and that we should be ready," Defence Minister Juozas Olekas told Reuters.

Simulating the Charlie Hebdo Attack: 7 Out of 9 Armed Defenders Got Hits on One Terrorist
But all of the defenders also got hit. Which puts it on par with a knife fight: you may be able to kill the other guy but you're are definitely going to get cut.
When I asked Nick to conduct a simulation of the Charlie Hebdo attack on short notice I knew we'd be in for a rough ride. The sim pit one handgun-holding self-defender against two rifle-wielding terrorists in a close approximation of the Hebdo offices. As anyone with a passing knowledge of gun fights will tell you, the odds of a successful outcome (two dead terrorists) were heavily stacked against the good guy with a gun. Click here for Nick's preliminary results. The main takeaway: seven out of the nine armed defenders got hits on one of the terrorists. There may have been one defender who managed both terrorists.

There is a common defensive strategy known as 'defense in depth'.
What is the outcome of an armed attack on the Offices of Le Charlie Hebdo when there are two armed defenders in different rooms?
Ya, ya. The attackers simply send in more troops. Or attack at home where there are no defenders, and the attack will always be a surprise unless your defensive perimeter starts outside the building.

At least Ed Wood gave its subject a bit of Miltonic charm. Yeah, Ed Wood's movies were shit and yeah, Ed Wood was kind of a weirdo. But there I left thinking I'd not mind sharing a chablis with Ed Wood and discussing cinema.

B) 1 guy as defender against 2 attackers with rifles? I'm a pretty good marksman, and more than competent empty handed, but I'm not gonna live through that fight. Even if I get two hits in two seconds, they're not gonna be head shots, so the bad guys still have some fight in them, probably.
It's a noble death, but you're as fucked as the Lithuanians in that scenario.

EXAMPLE 1: America has the highest infant mortality rate of developed countries. (SAMPLE MISSING INFO: Other countries don't report infant mortality truthfully, we do, partly because we believe infants are humans.)
EXAMPLE 2: America has a lower life expectancy that most developed countries. (SAMPLE MISSING INFO: Deaths from murder (in lib cities of course) and auto fatalities... oh, and infant mortality... skew this data heavily)
EXAMPLE 3: People who own guns are more likely to die from them. (SAMPLE MISSING INFO: Suicide by gun (by people who likely would have found another way to commit suicide)... but they make it sound like the stat is about murder and safety by leaving out key information.)

There at one point a few countries that did not factor diseases like cancer or things like heart attacks, etc into the mix, either. They just used the numbers from those who died of natural causes.
And of course, the infant mortality stats... what a joke.
If the baby dies within three days of being born, why, that was a miscarriage.
Born premature, ditto.
Weighed less than a certain amount at birth...doesn't count as a birth if it dies (and low infant weight is a huge contributor to infant death, so that's a BFD)

Actually, infant mortality presupposes an infant, so it wouldn't be the viable baby thing. IIRC, it's because the US deems any baby with a heartbeat that is outside the mother to be an infant, where many other countries start counting deaths after the infant leaves the hospital.

In this context, "not covered himself with glory" means 3 felony convictions, lost a wife who could be a body double for Shania Twain, and is now living with his 93 year old father because he can't kick the pill habit.

I was a student teacher when they introduced the new math with the sets and stuff.

Got A's in it for the most part.
History was something I didn't particularly care for. It was kind of boring, memorizing dates and places.
But then, I got a professor who opened up History for me and made me love it.
He would come to class, dressed as a Viking or as an ancient Greek...and jump around the room telling stories.
It made all the difference in the world.

I'm glad that people are finally speaking out against Multiculturalism.
It's fucked up...and I've thought so for two decades.
It's a leftist construct, designed to devalue the culture of Western countries.
First came Political Correctness...to curtail freedom of speech.
Then came Multiculturalism.
And you couldn't speak out against it, because that wouldn't be politically correct.
And yeah, it *is* suicide.
And stoopid. Suicide by stoopid.

Letterman's early schtick was to find an amusingly hick story in a small town paper in flyover country, and call the local editor, out of the blue, and ask for commentary. He got taken down every damn time. His audience was laughing at him. The hicks knew it was funny. They knew way better than that weatherman.
And I mention this because, Kaufman arranged to have Slim Whitman on SNL, to quip about all those late-night 1-800 greatest hits records. Until old Slim started singing. Kaufman's mouth fell open, and he couldn't close it. Transfixed.
Now I know some of you are really hip, and are too smart to like the yodel, so, fuck you. You've been watching really bad remake SF movie parodies. Slim Whitman had talent and could sing like a damn bird. Kaufman was a "genius."

Actually, infant mortality presupposes an infant, so it wouldn't be the viable baby thing. IIRC, it's because the US deems any baby with a heartbeat that is outside the mother to be an infant, where many other countries start counting deaths after the infant leaves the hospital.

Is it better to download the whole video then pull out the audio, and would there a recommended program for that method?

Well, short answer: you are hooped, because of DRM issues. Used to be, I could listen to streaming audio, and the sound track of youtube is streaming audio, and record it with any one of a number of recorder programs (Audacity, freeware, is good). But MS implemented some DRM shit at the behest of "content owners", and the ability to record what is going through the sound card has been "grayed out".
Work -arounds: 1. connect "speaker out" to "line in" jacks, and record off "line in". you will need some audio cables, and a dual potentiometer to set record level would be a plus.
2. add a second sound card, loop back output of first sound card to input of add-on card, and run your recorder software off add-on card.
3. find a stand-alone mp3 recorder built into a boom box, and use a cable to feed line-in of the boom box from speaker out of your computer. This one works for me.
And greetings to all the ONT regulars. I am in Apache Junction, AZ for a few weeks.

I try but I lose that argument. Just yesterday, we heard about a US 2-star. Afg SOF has a good ISR plane, but they won't share assets with Afg AF. So dumbass general thinks we should just buy the same planes for AAF. Initial estimate is $200 M, but that doesn't include basing, training, maintenance, anything. They don't have enough pilots as is, buying more planes won't help. But can't tell that to the generals.

To avoid ambiguity, one needs to say
"Thanks to the Internet, I have probably seen more naked ladies than have all of my ancestors combined."

Well...uh.... half of them kind of HAVE to be.... Ladies at least...
Posted by: BB Wolf
Precisely my point.
And all ladies are naked at some point.
So it actually becomes an interesting calculation.
Let's say (with rough estimates) that modern humanity has been around for approximately 200,000 years.
Throughout that time, until recently, naked ladies got pregnant not long after hitting puberty, so the average length of a "generation" for most of that time was about 15 years.
That means that you have had 200,000 ÷ 15 = 13,333 generations of human ancestors, with a dad and a mom in each one, meaning 13,333 naked lady ancestors.
Now, everyone can just look down and see their own naked body at some point in their lives, so your naked lady ancestors have at least seen themselves, which would mean that your ancestors have seen at a minimum 13,333 naked ladies.
But, presumably, all or most of your grandmommies have seen other naked ladies in their families or clans or hunting tribes or whatever. So let's just say that each female ancestor saw three other naked females in her life, would would make that total, 53,333 naked ladies being seen by your ancestors.
Now, let's hope that not all of your make ancestors only ever saw one naked lady in their lives, so let's be modest and say that they saw, in addition to their spouses (who don't count again in our totals, since they've been seen by themselves) three other naked ladies, That adds 39,999 to 53,333 to make 93,332, which we can round up to 100,000 named ladies being seen by your ancestors.
But once we get into the era of printing, that number goes up exponentially, as you recent ancestors could have seen naughty French postcards, Playboy, and so on; and even more recently, porn flicks, etc.
So, based on no facts whatsoever, let's toss in another 100,000 for your recent ancestors, for a grand total of 200,000 naked ladies being seen by your ancestors.
Has the average man seen more than 200,000 naked ladies on the Internet? You tell me.
*** All numbers totally unreliable. Plus I probably did the math wrong, and probably left out about a million cavemen who counted as ancestors in some way.

Well, and truly! I used a 3/16 round-over bit on a piece of aluminum today, and it went through in one pass like the metal wasn't even there. This was most gratifying.
That's actually the first metal cutting I've done with the mill. The last week has involved preferentially massacring a chunk of beechwood to create collet storage, and building drawers to house all of the tooling, collet block included.
That, and I just balanced a new conductor's baton to within a few thousandths of an inch. 8-)

I have one direct female ancestor in the previous generation, but _two_ in the one before that, and _four_ in the one before that...
But it doesn't stay a pure geometric progression for long, as surely back in the day I have some ancestors from Arkansas or something.
So if we run with your figure of 13,333 generations, then the number of direct female ancestors rises to 2^13,332 or thereabouts as a maximum, minus some constraining factor having to do with the historical rates of incest, however much removed.
Beat that, internet porn.

I've been doing a bunch of wood in my mill, as well.
A lot of stuff on the mill is "deferred" -- for instance, I have yet to tram the table or square the Z, because (a) I'm picking up a side-to-side gauge at LMS on 2/5, and (b) I want to build a rigid frame to flop the Z column with screws before I mess with it -- and that means (c) bolting the mill down, 'cause it's just teetering there now.
I did use the mini-mill to make a fence for the micro-mill, which was a microproject that made me happy.

Two of the 1x4's are on the ends of the riser, and the other two pass directly under the mill footprint, just inside the bolt holes with which it is secured to the riser.

So I'm on a weight losing kick now, which I'm doing by not allowing my fat ass to eat anything more than 1 serving of 1 item for any meal (serving size to be determined by package information, IE if the serving size says 6 meatballs then that's ALL you can have for that meal is 6 meatballs, etc). It's going to take some will power but wrapping that kilt around my fat ass and having to gasp for breath is a pretty good motivator.
When I get the weight down I plan to make my own, but the fabric alone is going to run a little over $45 per yard (three yards needed, it's 2 yards wide so that will make 6, plenty for what I need).

The table I decided to put my mill on has strong edge supports but a
weak middle, so I went ahead and built a riser out of on-edge 1x4's and
plywood top/bottom to distribute the weight.
Two of the 1x4's are on the ends of the riser, and the other two
pass directly under the mill footprint, just inside the bolt holes with
which it is secured to the riser.

From a Popular Mechanics thing from the late 60s or early 70s, I got the idea of a modular workshop -- with a variety of tools mounted to 2'x2' plywood squares. You could slide 'em into racks for storage, and pop 'em into workcenters for use.....and clamp 'em into those workcenters for rough use. Somewhere around 2010, I did that, and (in general) it's worked out well. The problem is that I'd need 2x the garage to do it properly -- and, every time I move certain equipment, a shop crane to boot.
My design standards are a bit less refined than yours. The majority of my tools are bolted to 2x4's which are deckscrewed from the plywood side. That said, you can rotate them to any angle with the plywood.

One of the other aspects of Japanese statistics is that if a mother drowns her two children and then herself, that is recorded as three suicides. If a man strangles his wife and two children and then hangs himself that would be counted as four suicides. This gives the Japanese a very high suicide rate and a very low homicide rate according to official figures.

Yet a third way of skewing statistics (I don't know if Japan does this, but Britain does), if there is no one convicted for the murder it's not a murder, so the homicide rate is lower. This, BTW, is why you really can't compare US "gun deaths" to any other country, it's not only apples and oranges, it's apples and school buses.

I like it! Well, after watching this on the morning news (from Boston) and imagining Option One (cop to protesters: "Sorry, we've gotta cut your ams off to get you out of the way") and Option Two (city posts "Bumpy Road Ahead" signs on I-93, leaves).
No one around here has reported on the court hearings though, since it's MA, I'm guessing all were freed on OR or a few buck's bail pending "trials" many months from now. This state is tolerant and welcoming of

Prank 'em. Got a friend with a white truck? Work up some official-looking nonsense decals that pass muster at 10 feet that actually read things like (State Here) Department of Clown Control, drive up to the protest site, have a few people in dayglo orange bibs get out and put up such a sign, then leave.

She performed on Broadway from 1919-1920, but had been a popular screen actress from 1914 through 1924, appearing with Rudolph Valentino and H.B. Warner. In 1924, she retired from the screen, marrying Oscar Hammerstein II, the uncle of lyricist Oscar Hammerstein (of Rodgers and Hammerstein fame).
How about a couple of stories?
Crooner Tony Martin (who, lucky man, was married to Cyd Charisse), was complaining to a friend that a Hollywood career was full of pitfalls. "One day," he lamented, "you're making love to Berry Grable or Linda Darnell or Lana Turner. Then the next day - poof! - you're a has-been."
"True," his friend agreed, "but look where you has been!"
A Lana Turner story: one night in the 50s, she showed up at Romanoff's (a swanky Hollywood restaurant) dressed in a daring, low cut evening gown. Atttached to a fragile chain around her neck was a golden replica of an airplane which nestled provocatively within her cleavage.
Romanoff turned to writer Charles Brackett. "What do you think of Lana's airplane?"
"Lovely," breathed Brackett ecstatically. "And what a landing field!"
Here's Turner in 1941s Honky Tonk:

E pluribus maximus pluribus is the Leftist way. From many come a bigger many. Unity means not having discrete, self-regulating heavily stereotyped identity cliques that they can manipulate against each other for political gain, in the high school writ large system they call diversity and multiculturalism. Naturally, since give them more levers to control people, it and its mechanisms must be hijacked and turned hypocritical such as tolerance, or outright destroyed such as assimilation.

On a related note, today is payday and I'm really considering dropping the company health care and going with Tricare only. It's not as good as it once was and they are charging me more for it since I've declined to participate in their screening program. Thanks Obamacare, may all who were involved in passing this POS suffer a long time with wasting rot of the crotchal area.

Rand may have made it a stipulation.
While Paul is not his father, this is a huge wedge issue, and an anchor that will never help him. His father is an @$$ for not seeing what he is doing to his son.

Detectives found five child porn photos on Coulibaly's laptop and another 37 on Kouachi's PC. Kouachi's stash included sickening pictures of young boys and girls involved in sexual acts with adults, Le Canard Enchaîné newspaper reported.
However, last week's attacks shed a new light on the case, with some analysts suggesting that rather than being paedophiles [like the Prophet], the gunmen might have used child porn websites as a secure means of communication to share other information.

I live in united state, Two years ago i married a lady called saline, we had two children together, we were very happy to be husband and wife, so when i travel on a business trip to Brazil, i spent a year in Brazil due to my kind of business, i and my wife talked on phone all the time, we chatted on the Internet, i never knew that my wife had started cheating on me by going out with her old school friend called Mark, i never knew something was going wrong till i came back from my trip, then i and My wife started having problems, she goes out and come back late at night, she changed in a strange way that i could not endure, i tried to do everything to please her but it got worst, so one day she left the house and never came back, i tried reaching her but no way i could reach her, i never knew she had travelled with her new lover which was Mark, i wanted her so much because of the children she left for me and because i loved her so much too, because of the heart break she has put me into, i went into search of a real magic spell caster though I was scammed twice by a spell caster, but I never relented in my search because I wanted a happy life with my wife, So one morning i saw a testimony about a spell caster Esango Priest, so i contacted him and to my greatest surprise this esangopriest@gmail.com made life manful for me again, my wife came back to me after 3 days of a love spell from this Esango Priest, i took her back and I am now settled with my wife by the magic power of Esango Priest .
