Overnight Open Thread (1-22-2015)
The reason that Conservatism is "pro-family" is because no ideology can ultimately be defined in purely negative terms. It is not enough to say that we oppose big government, because to oppose anything is necessarily to advocate whatever must exist in it's place. In this case that is not simply "the individual". American economist Milton Friedman once said "We tend to talk about an individualist society, but it really isn't, it's a family society. And the greatest incentives of all, the incentives that have really driven people on, have largely been the incentives of family. ". No free society has ever existed that was constituted primarily of individuals pursuing their own interests as isolated individuals. It is stable, successful families, and communities of families, that make a free society possible. The only real world alternative to a society built upon the state, is a society built upon the family.

New Trick of the Patriarchy: Oprressing teh Womenz Through Sexual Equality
Jessica Valenti American blogger and feminist writer, known for having founded the feminist blog Feministing in 2004 claimed that the patriarchy is using equality to oppress women.
"Now we need a new wave of feminism to be more equal than men, I mean recently I saw this video on YouTube with over one million views and a way more likes than dislikes, at first I thought it was no big deal as the man was hiding in a store and defending himself from what I presumed from an aggressive man that was hitting him but then I saw it was a woman that was hitting him and I was terrified at how he violently abused her and literally threw her into a glass window shattering it or 'defended himself' as a rape apologist would put it as"
Self-defense now also part of rape-culture apparently.
Yet Another Discriminatory Tool of the Patriarchy: Women's Public Restrooms
Feminist writer, media critic and activist Soraya Chemaly, whose areas of expertise include "Gender Violence and Women's Equity, Sexual Assault, Women in Media, Rape, Gender-based Violence, Media Portrayal, Women in the Military, Gender Equality Issues, Free Speech, Gender Politics, Business and the Economy, Education, Media and Entertainment, Politics, Religion Social Justice", is on a roll about the unfairness of women's public restrooms. And you know whose fault that is? You've got it: men's. In what suspiciously sounds like a bad case of penis envy, Chemaly is upset that all public restrooms are not equal-opportunity facilities:
"[W]omen are still forced to stand in lines at malls, schools, stadiums, concerts, fair grounds, theme parks, and other crowded public spaces. This is frustrating, uncomfortable, and, in some circumstances, humiliating. It's also a form of discrimination, as it disproportionately affects women.

Man Shoots OK Police Chief During Raid, Does Not Get Charged
Boys Town Switching to a Focus on Vocational Training
The demand for skilled workers reaches far beyond the companies Boys Town administrators talked to. Similar needs were cited by employers included in an Atlantic piece on attempts to replicate the German apprenticeship model in the United States. This shift seems like a smart move on the part of Boys Town, and one that traditional schools could imitate in their own way. American primary education ought to be devising more programs that prepare students for futures other than those associated with the four-year residential college path. If Boys Town, and the local schools whose example it is following, are any indication, more educators are starting to realize this.

15 Unique Illnesses You Can Only Come Down With in German
9. OSTALGIE
Ostalgie is nostalgia for the old way of life in East Germany ("ost" means East). If you miss your old Trabant and those weekly visits from the secret police, you may have Ostalgie.
10. ZEITKRANKHEIT
Zeitkrankheit is "time sickness" or "illness of the times." It's a general term for whatever the damaging mindset or preoccupations of a certain era are.
11. WELTSCHMERZ
Weltschmerz or "world pain," is a sadness brought on by a realization that the world cannot be the way you wish it would be. It's more emotional than pessimism, and more painful than ennui.
The Rise And Fall of 'Hippiedilly' in 1969
On the Sunday morning of 21 September 1969, a slightly-built Metropolitan Police Chief Inspector convinced some squatters at a large five storey mansion at 144 Piccadilly to lower an improvised wooden drawbridge so doctors could help a seriously ill person inside. The drawbridge came down and Chief Inspector Michael Rowling flung himself bravely across the barricaded opening to establish a bridgehead. Within seconds a police sergeant blew his whistle and shouted: "Come on lads - let's go in!" A hundred policemen, seemingly from nowhere, charged over the bridge and straight through the front door.

I'm not talking Conservatives here. Conservatives stand on principle. I cannot say that I always agree with these principles, but Conservatives do stand on them. Republicans are something else again: they are a political party. Individual Republican-voters may hold principles in the abstract; but when they become politicians, their job is to get elected. And, to get elected, Republicans need to know their constituents. And that means it is their very life to run statistical analyses.
And what Republicans have found is firstly that young single people are irresponsible and (especially women, at least in my state) want to have their misdeeds erased; and secondly that it's dangerous to allow a lot of bastards growing up to learn how the electoral system works.
The United States isn't the world of Game Of Thrones. Here exists no "Wall" whither to send children born out of wedlock. Adoption is an option, as we keep getting told; but not all children get adopted. For those who "fall through the cracks" America offers a welfare system; and they also have the extended family - cousins, aunts, grandparents. Here is the world of The Wire.
So, yes, Hector had a point. Republicans (and not Conservatives) do have an interest in abortion - lots of abortion. Abortion lowers the demographic of The Wire. In years to come, it lowers the number of bastards who will more-likely vote for freebies that is, for the commies (end-state of "democrats").
This is what has to be kept in mind when we see how actual Republicans (read: not teh Moron Horde) vote.

A number of months ago a contestant in a beauty pageant, it may have been Miss USA, used self defense skills as her talent. She was trashed by feminists who seemed to think that a woman protecting herself from rape equated with blaming the victim. I'd say that was the dumbest things to come out of the feminist movement, but there's so much stupid that it's hard to pick the dumbest.

Talk to people who work in schools. It's middle class, productive people who are limiting the number of children. The FSA are having larger families than people who have good incomes. Apparently, a lot of them don't want abortions. We have easily available abortions, and yet the number of people needing food stamps, rent subsidies, and so on is huge. Abortion is not solving the problem of ignorant, irresponsible people having multiple children that they can't care for decently.

Gotta hang your purse up, or find a way to keep it off floor if no hanger is present. If this involves hanging it around your neck, you then are slowed down even further.
Check for seat covers.
If no seat covers are present, you have to inspect seat very carefully to decide how many layers of TP are going to be needed to make one.
The first one you make invariably falls in, so you have to make another. Usually with your fucking purse slapping you some where, or doing its best to fall in to the toilet.
Then you disrobe and we have more layers, as a rule. everything has to come off, we can't just reach in and whip anything out.
Then we have to tear off a foot or so of TP on the roll and place it atop the dispenser, so as to avoid catching cooties from whoever touched it last.
By this time it is entirely possible that we have used all the TP, and need to dig around inside the dispenser to get the other roll started. This alone can take 5 minutes, certainly no less than 3.
Then the clean up commences; Sheryl Crow can kiss my ass...I like to be clean and dry when I am done and this takes time, and plenty more TP. And may I remind you that this is in all likelihood being done with a purse on your lap.
So all the layers have to be hiked back up or down, and you have to make sure everything is tucked back in or lined back up or isn't all bunched up and your panties aren't showing.
Then you have to flush a time or two because of the multiple layers of makeshift toilet seat cover. And the piece of TP you tore off and didn't use.
Then of course you have to wash up, and if you wear makeup, touch that up, and maybe fix your hair which has gotten all tangled up in the damn purse strap you have had around your neck all this time.
Add ten minutes to this if it's your Shark Week and things need attending to.

Steve Sailer's statistical analysis showed that to be wrong. What accounted for the crime drop was young blacks killing each other at younger ages than ever before so they weren't around to commit more crimes in their late teens and early twenties; and there were problems with the dates they based their claims on as I vaguely recall. He fought it out with one of the Freakanomics authors online (libertarian site?) but when I just tried accessing the pages for the fight I bookmarked years and years ago, they were dead. Maybe there are live links archived at Sailer's blog?

One of the comments about the American Army is that "war is chaos, and the Americans practice chaos on a daily basis". I think this applies to much of American culture. We don't require or do well in the rigid, formal structures that you see in places like Germany or East Asia. The result is often messy, but much more flexible. I like the idea that in America people go to community college to take a couple of classes that they need, and then jump back into the working world. That a person can change their whole life at 40 if they want to.

Let's not forget those terrible moments when you discover there is no toliet paper in your stall. So you ask the women in the stalls next to you. They say, "Damnit no, we don't have any toliet paper either."
So then you have to dig frantically through your purse trying to find Kleenex. If you can't, you're screwed and have to squat there and try to drip dry.

Ah. That's what I was looking for...., but it implies that a rifled shotgun barrel can be shortened below the 18" limit.
Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at January 22, 2015 11:32 PM (vPh3W)
True but then it may run into caliber restrictions that make .410 the only viable shotgun ammo.
As an aside I've been looking at some of the 12 gauge adapters for sale that convert a 26.5mm flare gun into a single-shot firearm. But I don't see how there's any legal way for you to actually use them without running afoul of some federal law.

And lets not forget some bitches is just straight-up nasty and you may have to check three or four stalls out before finding one that is fit. More time spent.
Posted by: Tammy al-Thor at January 22, 2015 11:40 PM (Pauop)
Downside of course, is that said rifling really plays hell on a .410 shot cartridges pattern at much beyond 10 yards or so. And it's not exactly a tack driver with .45 Colt, with that massive "jump" from the cartridge, through the excess chamber necessary for the .410 cartridges, and other variables along the way.
Some of the rounds developed specifically for the Judge, perform reasonably well. But, you can get the same or better performance, in guns half the size or smaller, with two to three times the Judge's five-round limited capacity.
There is nothing that recommends the Judge, beyond the mere novelty thereof, or the "comforting" feel of having such a massive paperweight on one's nightstand.
And this, from a seriously dedicated wheelgun user. I shoot IDPA with a S&W Model 28-2, 4" Highway Patrolman. I'm not against revolvers at all. It's just that there are so many better, wiser choices than the Taurus Judge or S&W Governor.
Oh, and I did get to check out the new Ruger LCR, in the 3" version, with adjustable sights and exposed hammer for a single-action option, to compliment the basic design's double-action-only, original inception.
Damn thing is light as a feather. Double action was smooth, could be lighter. The single action was easily a six-pound pull. If Ruger has a S&W style "custom shop", I'd want mine to take a detour there for a good action job, first.
But I'm seriously going to add one to the inventory. Will be perfect for extreme summer carry.

I liked the begging sign the hippies had posted outside the place: We need food, money, old (and new) furniture, mattresses, blankets, etc.." So they could establish a HQ "for guerrilla activities."
Yeah, hippies, here's a mattress and some groceries and cash so you can engage in guerrilla activities.

In the original article there's a link to someone who claims to know her and says that she's a well known SJW-type who hates shinblade and was trying to goad him into attacking her so he would be disqualified and she could play the martyr.

And according to a youtube comment she claimed repeatedly that he was the one who grabbed her. Until the video came out and showed that it was the opposite.
FYI I don't know anything about shinblade, this event, or this whole sub-culture at all so I'm just relying on what's been posted.

You will be pleased to know, that Richmond International Raceway still has troughs in the men's rooms. At least they did about 5 years ago in the Turn 1 restrooms.
Martinsville? Never found out. They only had portopotties.
I was disappointed that UVa removed the "piss walls" that they used to have in Scott Stadium back in the 70's. The bathrooms had a concrete wall, with water trickling down it, that emptied into what looked like a concrete culvert in the floor. Not much of a line for the men's rooms.

Considerably more so than with the classic uranium fuel cycle.
Thorium proponents are known to throw around words such as "impossible". No. Not impossible. Difficult and unlikely.
I personally think that proliferation concerns with the classic uranium fuel cycle are enormously overhyped.

They settled on a standard design for their reactors and installations, and stuck with it for the vast majority of their nuclear plants. Tried, true, proven and reliable.
Each new build doesn't have to be the latest and greatest, bleeding-edge technological leap. In fact, unless it's specifically FOR changing to a different physics solution (thorium, etc.), it's advantageous to stay with (but yes, refine) a standard design.... everyone has the same safety training, systems knowledge, etc.
And maintenance is vastly cheaper, too. Keeping an inventory of 500 identical pump motors on hand, is far cheaper than keeping 5 unique motors in store for the one and only plant that uses that particular model.
Further, Admiral Rickover had the right idea insofar as who runs the damn thing. He wanted ONLY U.S. Military to run 'em, due to the inherent self-discipline and adherence to training that a military mindset brings to the equation.
History and experience, I think, bear out his concerns.

NASCAR wasn't all bad. Pre-Cougar, I lived in Ocean City, MD. So I went to Dover every year in June. Even had a platform for the truck. You had to line up for the infield at like 9 PM Saturday night, because you had to drive across the track to get in, so they shut down access at like 4 AM so the drivers can practice.
It's like a frat party outside, lots of grills and kegs and such. I had some very good times in the infield line. Lots of single serving friends, and a few that I still keep in touch with.
But damn, after 20 hours of drinking, some people just need to be choked out. Not that I ever did that.

About 15 years ago we had a bunch of friends over for a Memorial Day cookout. After everyone left and we were cleaning up, I hear the Mrs yell "there is shit all over the bathroom". I thought she meant there was some trash or something, but then she yelled it louder. I went to see what she was talking about, and the towels everyone had been using had shit smeared on them. The door knob had shit smeared on it. The door had shit smeared on it. The bathroom counter had shit smeared on it. The faucet had shit smeared on it. Well, you get the point. The only kid there shit himself and just wiped it everywhere, and we had no idea until after everyone had left.
BTW, the kid's mother went in to help him, and said absolutely nothing to us about it.

hmm to be honest I don't know what we would do with pure thorium. No one on our campus does any sort of research or experimentation with that type of material, at least to my knowledge. So my school, probably not much. But a big research school, like Mizzou, might, they actually have a nuclear reactor on campus, not to mention much larger chemistry and physics departments.

I have never heard of there being significant thorium in coal. Thorium usually occurs in a mineral called monazite, which occurs as an accessory in granite rocks, and is released as grains of sand when the rock weathers. In some places, notably India, monazite sand is concentrated on beaches by wave action, forming mineable deposits. I know of no mines producing thorium from primary occurrences.
But uranium does occur in coal, particularly lignite. The U.S. government mined and burned huge heaps of lignite in North Dakota in the 1950's to get uranium minerals from the coal ash.
The notion that thorium is somehow more plentiful than uranium, or easier to get, just does not hold water. There is no shortage of uranium. We now know a whole lot more about about how to explore for it, and to produce it, than we did in the early years of the nuclear age.

First, thorium is kinda toxic. You can still get thorium gas mantles, but it is worse than uranium by a multiple factors of ten.
That being said, there are a hell of a lot of scientists who would love to work with thorium metal!
Commercially, the oxide is usually what you have to work with. The metal has many advantages in making various thorium chemicals. Especially with the limitations on use due to its radioactivity and toxicity, the metal in an inert environment (glovebox or Schlenkline) is often the preferred precursor, though it is almost impossible to get now-a-days, even with connections.
Trust me on this.

Thorium != Americium
... and, to follow a possible train of thought (and end it), collecting enough used smoke detectors to get a usable amount of Americium is a bad plan ... a quantity of Americium the size of an eraser on the end of a pencil (assuming enough smoke detectors can be obtained) is lethal ... in 2-3 hours. I once worked in a place that had such an amount. It was stored in a solid steel cask, just a bit smaller than a 55 gallon drum, and 3-4" thick borated polyethelyne slabs were leaned against it, to catch most of the remaining escaping neutrons. I did not stay for the extended tour.

India is big on thorium because they have a lot of it and not a lot of uranium. They really like to be self-sufficient.
Posted by: The Actinide Hat at January 23, 2015 01:19 AM (0Ew3K)
So, the bomb was made of thorium; transmuted into uranium. Point being, it was done once, and monkey-see, monkey-do muzzies can copy the recipe, or hire it done. And I'll bet you that India might find some seriously rich uranium deposits if they thoroughly explored the basal contact of the Deccan plateau basalts.
I just don't see thorium as a "magic bullet" to make nuclear power all green and peaceful and oovy-doovy. I see it more as a scheme by the anti-nuke crowd to delay further development and deployment of uranium reactors by hinting at something "much better right around the corner" (along with my flying car).

Thorium != Americium
... and, to follow a possible train of thought (and end it),
collecting enough used smoke detectors to get a usable amount of
Americium is a bad plan ... a quantity of Americium the size of an
eraser on the end of a pencil (assuming enough smoke detectors can be
obtained) is lethal ... in 2-3 hours. I once worked in a place that had
such an amount. It was stored in a solid steel cask, just a bit smaller
than a 55 gallon drum, and 3-4" thick borated polyethelyne slabs were
leaned against it, to catch most of the remaining escaping neutrons. I
did not stay for the extended tour.

Thanks for making my point for me.

FUD: fear, uncertainty, doubt. In this case, thorium fits the "uncertainty" niche.

My argument was that it would be easier to sell thorium and buy real weapons than it would be to make thorium itself into a weapon. Thorium is a soft, heavy metal that is flammable. It is slightly radioactive, with most of it having a half-life of 14.05 billion years -- and that decay gives off alpha particles, which don't penetrate skin. You'd be more likely to sell it to someone making TIG welders than terrorists -- but, then, you could turn around and buy real arms at the local gun shop.

Thing is -- thorium is nearly as common as lead or molybdenum on earth, and is twice as common as arsenic and three times as common as tin. The form most found in nature has a half-life of 14.05 billion years by itself. But if you juice it up in a reactor, you can get it going very nicely. There's a lot to like about it -- and some research reactors have run for decades with it.

Not many explicitly on the topic, but climate-change rhetoric hinges a lot upon energy policy. If "carbon pollution" is a real and present danger, then CAGW true believers ought to welcome nuclear power as a way to wean the grid off coal, right? I kid, I kid. But the topic comes up for discussion quite often, and when it does, it seems there is always a thorium fanboi in there pitching. Not to mention the cold-fusion fanbois. Both tend to get played with there, just as trolls get played with here.

Chem labs looking for experience with actinides, Craigslist, Etsy, TIG welder supply manufacturers, makers of gas lantern mantles, and the curious. I'm sure there are others. You can sell anything at some price. The original question was "how do you weaponize thorium?" and my answer was "sell it and buy a gun." It doesn't matter if you have to deliver 13,000 metric tons to Shengzhou for the price of a pocket pistol, it's still easier than....y'know, wait.....fine, I stand corrected -- the easiest way to weaponize thorium is to drop it on someone's head.

Please don't mistake "abundance in the earth's crust" with "able to be readily mined". Thorium is moderately abundant, but mostly in the form of discrete mineral grains sparsely scattered throughout huge bodies of very tough rock. And as a minor constituent of some rare earth deposits. If there are any large, unexploited thorium deposits in North America, we should have probably found them with Geiger counters while searching for uranium. Uranium may be less abundant, but it tends chemically to segregate out into deposits wherein it is sufficiently concentrated to be mined at a profit, i.e. "ore" by definition. I have held in my hand a baseball-sized hunk of pitchblende that would peg out a scintillometer set on the least sensitive scale.

True fact -- I was recently at the local supermarket with the fiancee in the deli aisle and she said something about not having the right kind of turkey. I did a pout and said, "what about me?" -- and she replied, "I wasn't looking for ham."

Please note @520....it isn't readily mined for itself, true, but it is a common-enough contaminant to be a by-product.

Which means that once the present glut is consumed, future supply is
limited, and cannot readily be expanded. Which is exactly what happened
to propane as a motor fuel.
I'm not suggesting thorium is totally worthless as reactor fuel; I'm saying it is being over-hyped.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at January 23, 2015 03:02 AM (upitO)
Which, again, gets me back to Denninger. He seems to think that enough thorium drops out of Fischer-Tropsch conversion to (a) power the Fischer-Tropsch conversion, (b) do the thorium recovery, and (c) actually give back to the grid.
Myself, I don't know -- and if commonsense inquiries about the world in which we live have to go through bureaucratic channels in DC, we'll never know.

I'd heard about the shit-burning detail, way back when, but it struck me as odd in that you'd be fighting a substantial water content -- and, worse, if you doused it in enough fuel to burn, you'd probably boil the water under the fuel and have it spatter. Were there some sort of recommended practices for this, beyond, "get yourself to somewhere civilized"?

of course, if someone had an especially loose booty (the runs) it would take additional fuel and longer to burn.

I feel like I should back up a few steps, kick the dirt a little, and start over.....
Due to a few accidents of birth, some odd bits of time, parental aspirations and personal sloth, I have never served....my paternal uncle died as a Marine, and his youngest son is a CPO in the Navy, last I checked; my maternal uncle was also in the service as a translator. Nonetheless, I have come to admire and honor those who have and do serve.
In doing so, it is impossible to miss the fact that our political class is almost always incredibly unworthy of the fine sailors and soldiers who serve at its whim. Duty, honor, and country run deep in the services -- while grandstanding, focus groups, and factionalism run deep in DC.
When I think of waste disposal, I look at it in the context of my dad and my uncle going back to Colorado around 1973 to install indoor plumbing for my grandfather......who had previously had an outhouse. And I think, "who the fuck comes up with the idea of burning mostly-liquid shit and inflicts this onto soldiers as SOP?"
Maintaining tracks and wheeled vehicles in the shit is what you need to do. Shortages of water and electricity is what you had. Primitive toilet issues are par for the course.....
But where I'm not clear is -- do the locals incinerate it (doubtful) or who decided to go all 'fancy' on it?

I'm well. Thanks for asking.
Busy during the day and exhausted at night, which is how it should be.
You?

Slowly going insane from the constant realization that I'm at ground-zero for collapse of the "surveillance/adserve/FarmVille" economy, and out in the starving hinterlands of the "something to eat/things people want/services that need doing" economy.
Hoping that you've been busy in a good way.

Oh yeah. I was really, really....really drunk.

I should point out that Sven is in a class of his own when he is rolling -- he can saturate the zone all by his lonesome. It's not that this is necessarily a bad thing, but it is exceptional.

Awww...last time I saw my granddaughter was last May...they live in IL, near the daddy's parents. Kid#2 hates Texas, so not going to see much of either of them in the near future.

The day crew will be in shortly....I'm gonna drop lad off and hit the gym....and reflect on Slingblade's primal warcry "who bitch this be?"
Isn't "cis-normative" a verbose synonym of "normal"?

You're more then likely correct, unfortunately.
Just seems like that old saw "Rules for thee, but not for me" really is getting a workout lately.

Got an idea for a movie script.
A modern feminist is caught up in a micro-wormhole, and transported back in time to the forming up, and beginning of a wagon train heading out west.
Shhh...
let's watch, and see what happens.

I think the boys would be there for me, as well -- and the fiancee is a given, if I predecease her. But it's not like I have a long list......hell, it doesn't need a lot for the only folks to see me off to be Morons.

Why do women take so long in the restroom anyhow?
Women's clothing is often more complicated than men's, particularly
if we're talking business or formal attire; try rassling with a pair of
pantyhose some time without causing a snag or runner.

I once knew a woman who had taken a bus across Afghanistan back before it went all to shit. (Yes, I am that old.) She said the first day she wore jeans. Then during the trip the bus would stop from time to time in the middle of nowhere and all the men would go on one side of the bus and all the women on the other. The women would squat down and when they stood up there was a puddle of pee on the ground. After an excruciating day of travel they stopped at a town with an inn. The next day she wore a long skirt and no underwear. Much more comfortable day.
Just saying.
