Overnight Open Thread (5/8/15) [tmi3rd]
A good Friday evening to you, Morons and Moronettes, as you've got ONE MORE NIGHT with the show being run from the AoSHQ Science & Weather Desk. Maetenloch returns shortly.
More below the fold...
Active Weather Underway Across The Great Plains
This will persist at least through tomorrow, and Sunday before things begin to calm down some (the system will exit into the Mississippi River valley at that point, and conditions will change). That doesn't mean an all-day event necessarily, but you do want to stay alert and informed for the next couple of days.
Here's a picture as of 6 PM EDT on Friday of the outlook...
Where's it going to happen, specifically? Hell if I know. I'm just married to meteorology, and even Mrs. tmi3rd is of the attitude "just let them know to stay alert and aware", as this system hasn't behaved AT ALL.
Because I have to mention it...
From the "relative nothingburger" department, I'm obligated to mention Subtropical Storm Ana, which will likely make landfall around the SC/NC border on Sunday sometime. Winds are a mighty (ahem) 45 mph sustained, and it's currently sitting stationary just off the coast of South Carolina while it waits for another trough to move in and ship it off to the north and ultimately off to the east.
It's sitting over comparatively warm waters, so it could intensify a bit, but the air around it is pretty dry, so it won't be much. It could warm up its tops a bit and satisfy the criteria for being a full tropical storm, but that's a distinction that won't matter much in terms of impacts when it makes landfall.
Short advice: don't go surfing or swimming for the next day or two up and down the SC/NC coastline, and don't drive into high water.
Summary of watches and warnings in effect:Twenty Years Ago This Evening
A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * South Santee River South Carolina to Cape Lookout A tropical storm watch is in effect for...
* Edisto Beach South Carolina to south of South Santee River A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are
expected somewhere within the warning area within 36 hours. A tropical storm watch means that tropical storm conditions are
possible within the watch area, in this case within 24-36 hours. Interests elsewhere in eastern North Carolina should monitor the
progress of Ana. For storm information specific to your area, including possible
inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your
local National Weather Service forecast office.
I was home from class (getting ready for finals during my undergrad), and preparing to watch the Quebec Nordiques play Drew M.'s New York Rangers in the Stanley Cup playoffs when the rain started.
As the rain got going, it was remarkably heavy. I walked outside to take a look, and from the front porch, water was coming off the roof in a sheet like it was being continuously poured out of a pan. When I held my hand under the falling rain, it was falling so hard that the water striking my hand was painful.
By midnight, in the highest-lying areas of New Orleans, water was up to knee-height on our ground floor, and over 14,000 homes and apartments were flooded in Jefferson Parish (where I lived) alone. The final numbers of residences damaged was over 56,000. At my parents' house in the New Orleans area, we recorded twenty-four inches of rain in eight hours.
Six people died, and it was the worst flooding event across the metro New Orleans area in my lifetime that wasn't caused by a collapsing levee.
Ebola is found in doctor's eye months after virus left his blood
So, the short end of this is that the guy still has active virus in his eye (which has screwed up his vision pretty well), although he's no longer systemically infected.
Now, before everyone freaks out, he's pointedly NOT able to transmit the disease unless someone spills the fluid out of his eyeball. Here's a thumbnail description of how this happens...
Much of the eye isn't connected directly to the circulatory system (blood and lymph). As a result, if a virus gets into your eye, immune cells can't get to it. Conversely, it can't go anywhere, either. There's not much for Ebola to attack in the eye, so it doesn't really do a whole hell of a lot other than hang out and twiddle its nonexistent thumbs, waiting for something to go after.
There's a substance in your tears called lysozyme that is hugely toxic to pretty much every microbe out there, and any virus that would make its way to the surface would get wiped out on contact with your tears.
The remaining questions with this guy are 1) how the virus got into his eye in the first place, and 2) what you go after it with within the globe of the eye itself. My knowledge base in that regard is limited to emergency medicine (treating eye trauma before we get them to an ophthalmologist) and ear/nose/throat stuff, so all other questions need to be referred to eye doctors or immunologists.
With that in mind, I give you a puppy loving on a kitten...
That should take care of any puppy/kitten quotas I missed. You may now commence squeeing.
Ten years ago YESTERDAY
So this is what Ace was up to ten years ago yesterday. I was finishing up my two-year artist residency at Shreveport Opera, and marveling at the wonderful people known as the Moron Nation... many of whom have become my close and treasured friends since.
Tonight's musical selection comes to you courtesy of Damn Dirty Rino, who reminded me about this a few months back. Blame him for this...
This dood is as hawdcaw as twelve ducklings curb-stomping the Snuggle Bear, yo.
Feel-Good Story Of The Day
RUSSELL BRAND has resigned from politics after admitting that he got swept up in the General Election and thought he could influence the outcome. Speaking in a short video on his YouTube channel today, the comedian said he expected the next five years to be full of "meanness" after the Conservatives were elected. The 39-year-old revealed how he'd accidentally "become a de facto spokesperson for people who don't vote" after he said he didn't participate in elections during an interview with Jeremy Paxman. The Forgetting Sarah Marshall star started the five minute-long clip by saying: "I'd like to thank my colleagues in the Trews party for all their hard work, I will be stepping down as head… "No, no because I'm just a comedian, I'm not electable or nothing. I'm just a bloke with a laptop with a bit mouth."
Thank God. Maybe this schmuck will disappear a bit more now.
I leave you with one of Andy Breitbart's favorite songs in the world...
Have a great night- stay safe!

Lysozyme is an enzyme with activity against bacterial cell walls. It has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with viral inhibition. It occurs in a variety of human secretions and serves as a first line of defense against bacteria, not viruses (don't make me list the fluids. you all know which 2 other fluids get mixed routinely).

weft: lysozyme is a protein, some proteins act as catalysts for chemical reactions...making reactions that would other wise be too slow to measure occur in microseconds. these proteins are enzymes, digestive enzymes being a common example (Adolph's meat tenderizer is papain, from papaya, an enzyme that "has activity" against proteins. It tenderizes meat by pre-digesting it before you cook.)
Lysozyme accelerates the cleavage of two sugars that make up part of the bacterial outer cell wall. If enough of the wall surrounding the bacterial cell is degraded, the bacterial cell "lyses" (explodes".
TMI3rd: yes, lysozyme can block attachment of SOME viruses to host cell receptors. this is in general a trivial activity. It's activity against rotaviral receptors is pretty clear. but having lysozyme in mucosal secretions doesn't protect babies in any significant way from...getting the shits.
My exact point is: lysozyme in tears, sweat, vaginal fluid, saliva, oral mucus, and semen (aw 'ell, he went and listed them) does NOT inactivate viruses. ever. to my knowledge. (and don't try your Jedi mind tricks and bring up bacteriophages... that is a separate affair and unrelated to the Ebola persistence)

Hey, I feel no particular need for vindication; I just want to know my shit correctly. If I'm reading what you say right, lysozyme acts much like a beta-lactam in that it cleaves the crossbridging between NAM and NAG. I didn't realize it didn't do similar things to viral capsids, and I appreciate the correction.
To a larger point- are there not innate antiviral defense mechanisms in tears and other mucosal secretions?
And thanks for putting me some knowledge.

Okay, it's a video via Richard Fernandez and at the end of the piece, but what it shows is that crook Spielberg stole these stunts to use in Raiders Of The Lost Ark. Or it was a homage. Whatever. It was something I didn't know about Raiders.

YES. lysozyme specifically cleaves the NAM-NAG bond.
but: to be clear: beta lactams DO NOT CLEAVE NUTHIN. they irreversibly inhibit an enzyme that FORMS cell walls, they are not glycosidase enzymes. during cell growth, a defect in wall formation leads to lysis. thats what the beta lactams do...

My duty section was on the sked for the first night in port. I got assigned Shore Patrol. It being Colombia, I of course went ashore to fulfill this duty in Tropical Whites, an SP brassard, and a white web belt with a night stick. Along with this came assurances that I really didn't need to worry about anything, as I would have a few Colombian Army troops making the rounds with me.
I get ashore, get to the designated meetup spot, and discover that "a few troops" was an entire platoon in duece-and-a-halfs. All in full battle rattle, complete with FN FALs. The terp informed me that the soldados were trying figure out if I was stupid or a badass for showing up with nothing but a nightstick.
They asked me where we needed to go and I told them, "Anywhere drunk Sailors might be." As such, we loaded up in the back of the trucks they proceeded to take me to every house of ill repute and every bar in Cartagena. Twice.

Of course along with all that you had his last 5 years with Green Bay where it was a constant drama with him having his ego fed with the "will he won't he retire" crap. I know people this year thought Manning would be done after the season, and I think the sports media wants that drama again, but Manning doesn't. I saw no indication that he was done, and he's not into playing that game.

Yeah. The thing that made him so "great" that last year in Green Bay wasn't him. It was that his receivers wouldn't go down or just had a big gain after the reception of a short/medium pass. I don't know how many games I saw that year where a pass was completed and the receiver gets hit. And then 15 yards downfield he is finally tackled. I don't know if yards after catch is a measured stat, but the Packers that year probably had one of the best records in that category.

He ruined a lot of good recievers thoughout his carreer by making them catch it just before being teed off on. Donald Driver practiced that "catch and twist" move just to survive.
Brooks didn't. Chumrra(?) didn't. Sharpe, didn't.

Posted by: buzzion at May 08, 2015 11:55 PM (zt+N6)
Plus, Manning takes every snap in practice, every one of them. That is why some people said his arm was "tired" at the end of last season.
Elway/Kubiak may make him take some practices off to let the backup get some snaps.

If the NFL really wanted to make a suspension that hurt they'd say Brady could play the regular season but would be ineligible for the playoffs as lets face it, the playoffs are what really matter to Brady and the Pats at this point.

SoCal, despite my limited experience with other locales, has the shittiest drivers that can be conceived of.
Dropping off a friend at LAX once. Left-most lane, as you know, is for those to cut through the circuit and get to the nearest parking lot the quickest. Those that are trying to merge are the assholes that missed the cut-through and are circling back.
Me: left lane. I see a mini-van with kids/teens in the passenger seats. The driver was step-starting into the lane. I slowed down because they looked like they were going to jump into the lane. NOPE.
They stopped, and as I drove by, I was given a mass performance of The Bird. And screaming from the bint in the front passenger's seat.
YEAH, love me some LA.

And he never liked learning new stuff either from the sound of things. He liked being able to just go out and throw the ball up.
Things that are forgotten about the Favre legacy- the year they won the Superbowl it was more because the defense was so special than the offence leading the team. Year they lost to the Broncos- the defense had gotten older, fatter (many of them) and were unable to keep up while the offense wasn't able to carry the weight of a gassed D.
Not saying Favre didn't do a lot in his career (am a huge Packer fan and loved his play for years) it is just his myth has grown to eclipse some of the realities on the field.

Then we had a warm spell and I tried running the AC and....no bueno. So I get another can to do another squirt and it occurs to me -- every 134a car on the road probably uses the same valvestem -- why don't I swap it before I put the juice in?
And here's where I start to go "SOOPER-GENIUS" -- they say you're supposed to use a vacuum pump on your system after serious rework.....but what if I don't consider changing the valvestem serious? Let's take some scenarios -- (1) the system is at atmospheric pressure (of 134a) and has bad valvestems....if I quickly change them, there will be little mixing of air and refrigerant, and then I'm going to squirt in another pint-and-a-half of coolant, so why futz around with vacuum? (2) the system is at 5-10 psi (of 134a) -- why should I attempt to slurp out potentially contaminated coolant that I have no way of disposing of....when I can easily get to scenario (1)? (3) the system has 35 psi of 134a.....time to break out the leak detector magic decoder ring.
And here's your chance to prove, beyond the least shadow of a doubt, that experience in the modern world is far superior to reading "The Way Things Work" when you are ten years old.

Man, I feel for those guys. Their first album with The Zombies yields two big hits, She's Not There (#1) and Tell Her No (#3).
Then, nothing for the next six years. Not a single hit. They decide to break up during production of a new album, and then that album gives them another #1 hit, Time Of The Season.
Well, whatever. They're broken up. A couple of them form a new band, Argent, which has a big hit with Hold Your Head Up (#5). Then they never have another hit, although one of their songs, God Gave Rock And Roll To You, becomes a hit for another band, Kiss.
I also find it interesting that Tell Her No and Hold Your Head Up share a rather specific grammatical quirk... each line of both songs' verses starts with the word "and". Well, now I know why; they were written by the same dude. And he was probably trying to channel whatever made Tell Her No a hit while he was writing Hold Your Head Up.

Everyone has their own personal preferences when it comes to the "arts". Music, visual (painting and sculpture), and the movies and television. A lot of it depends on when one was born.

The problem with the Inquisition was when it stopped being a tool of the Catholic Church, and became a tool of the king of Spain. And when it fell back under control of the church it became good again. The witch burning hysteria of Protestant Europe was stopped quickly in Catholic Spain and Italy due to their Inquisitions and their rules and procedures for investigating heresy. There were also cases of criminals intentionally blaspheming in order to be moved from normal prison to an Inquisition prison because of how much better the conditions were there.

You have never driven in western Virginia. The left lane of the interstate is for going 35 mph, the right turn lane is actually the left turn lane, and the left turn lane is the right turn lane. "No left turn" signs mean, "stop at a busy intersection and block traffice to make that turn because driving 50 more feet to make a legal left turn is just too fucking hard", and an "Authorized Vehicles Only" turn around on the interstate is totes for you to try to pull out in the left lane of the interstate in your fucking Prius and causing an accident because you couldn't go a 1/2 mile and exit off the interstate and cross over legally.

I don't know the laws in your area, but most of the laws re AC are federal in nature, so, de minimus is the most refrigerant you're allowed to emit into the atmosphere. As an aside, 134a was foisted on us because the EPA said it was environmentally friendly, so one would ask why the regulations haven't changed to reflect that.
Having said that, it appears you don't care much about that aspect of the job, so here goes.... You would be better off not sucking the system to ambient air pressure, but leaving a little in the system if you are going to leave it open, even for a moment. As soon as you go into any kind of vacuum, exposing your system to air will (I repeat, will, not may) contaminate your system. The effects may take time, and for a short term fix you may not care, but that would beg the question as to why change valve stems in the first place. Just keep adding.
You may be experiencing something different anyways. From a personal note, being that 134a is a smaller molecule, and thus easier to leak from a system, keeping the system oiled is critical to keep the seals lubed. My wife went a few years without turning on the AC, and the system was empty. Checking specs, I put in a full charge. It leaked out in one season.
Next I put in some ref with dye to see where it was coming out, and it was. From every seal.
Long story short. If the car is new to you, it may have been unused long enough to dry out the seals and changing valve stems won't cut it.
Buy refrigerant with a dye in it that you can see under black light and run the system every time you drive for a while.
Check and see where the leaks are before opening up the system.

that experience in the modern world is far superior to reading "The Way

cthulhu, use a dab of soapy water to see if the valve is still leaking. It may have froze when you last used it to fill the system and just needed a nudge. In other words the leak may be elsewhere in your system.
I've had good luck sealing small auto AC leaks with the stop leak stuff in a can; don't buy the cheap crap but one that cures when exposed to air moisture. That way it hardens on the outside of the leak point.

Post-Reformation of scholarship. ie Protestants and secularists that saw great advantage in attacking and demonizing all aspects of the Catholic Church.
The Truth about the Spanish Inquisition.
http://tinyurl.com/kstno4e
By the mid-16th century, Spain was the wealthiest and most powerful country in Europe. King Philip II saw himself and his countrymen as faithful defenders of the Catholic Church. Less wealthy and less powerful were Europe's Protestant areas, including the Netherlands, northern Germany, and England. But they did have a potent new weapon: the printing press. Although the Spanish defeated Protestants on the battlefield, they would lose the propaganda war. These were the years when the famous "Black Legend" of Spain was forged. Innumerable books and pamphlets poured from northern presses accusing the Spanish Empire of inhuman depravity and horrible atrocities in the New World. Opulent Spain was cast as a place of darkness, ignorance, and evil. Although modern scholars have long ago discarded the Black Legend, it still remains very much alive today. Quick: Think of a good conquistador.

I don't think it was Christianity that made the USA great.
Spain fucked up everything it touched pretty bad. They were full-bore Catholic. Everything was in the name of Christ.
I think what actually worked was that all men were supposed to be and treated equally.
That was a real first. Anywhere this rule is applied flourishes whereas where it isn't (Ex: Native Americans got pretty fucked because they were never treated as equal citizens by the federal government. African slaves the same way.
Also notable is that everyone else in america except those two groups CHOOSE, to move and live here, at some point in their recent lineage.
Having a broad judeo-christian morality didn't hurt, however.

I can also tell you that a good chunk of the population is unassimilated illegal immigrant Mexican and I've heard it from several places that an old Tijuana/barrio trick is to just use LP gas from a BBQ tank -- works just as well, so long as a leak never encounters a spark.
I should also note that 134a was ostensibly floated because it was safer for the environment, but actually was crammed down on us peasants when the crony's patent ran out on R-12.
The car is my own, driven 210K miles by me. Its AC worked well a long time, then I had it serviced, then it worked for a slightly shorter time, then I had it serviced, then it worked not quite so well for a reasonable time, then I put in the goo and it worked as well as it had when new for one year. So I'm trying to think outside the box. It isn't dry seals (unless one of the people I paid to service it used refrigerant without lube). I used refrigerant with lube and stop-leak.
And, again, I had to futz with the valve stem on the LP side....I'm really thinking (a) don't suck it; (b) change that valvestem; (c) pump it up; and (d) expect it to last better than one year per big can.
And thanks for responding.....I didn't put a bunch of useful info into the original comment.

Spain wasn't founded on Christian principles, though; it was founded on Spanish principles. Spaniards happened to be Christians, and Christianity had some influence on Spain's laws, but Spain wasn't a Christian nation the way the United States was (and it makes me so sad to say that in the past tense).

I think that a distinction should be made between Christianity and Judeo-Christian Morality. (10 commandments aren't in fact Christian by the way. They are Jewish.)
Also remember that early Christians were Socialists.
"Christianity" is a pretty broad umbrella.

cthulhu, use a dab

when you last used it to fill the system and just needed a nudge. In

I've had
good luck sealing small auto AC leaks with the stop leak stuff in a can;
don't buy the cheap crap but one that cures when exposed to air
moisture. That way it hardens on the outside of the leak point.

Thank you for responding!
I strongly suspect that the system has stabilized to ambient during the winter of its non-use. There won't be any bubbles on the LP fixture when the AC is not running because it's at ambient; there won't be any bubbles on the LP fixture when it is running because it has to be lower than the HP side (and they have to average to ambient), and I don't want to suck any bubbles into the system.

The first colonies all were set up by British companies as ways of making a profit, and those who came here were men who wanted to forge their own paths and not be a serf to the state.
Then, those wanting religious freedom came over and set up colonies, but they too had to make a buck for their company.
When it came time to set up their government, they just wanted to be left the fuck alone. Thus the Bill of Rights.

Reminds me of an old joke. A man is traveling down a country lane in France. In a field somewhat off in the distance, there is a man in the throes of passion with a woman. The traveler runs into town and bolts into a church, where he blurts out to the pastor: "Mon Dieu, there is a man on the river road having sex with a corpse!"
The pastor says, "you must show me" and they ride on horseback out to the river road, where the same scene continues. They gallop back to town and find the Chief Constable. "It is horrendous, necrophilia on the river road!!!!" The Chief Constable gathers some items and sets off on horseback at a gallop. A few minutes later, he returns at a trot.
Waving his binoculars, he reprimands the traveler and the priest -- "nothing to worry, my friends, it is merely that she is English."

460 and 13 merge with 58 at Petersburg and they all become a fuckwad of roads until Chesapeake area.
But 58 is a special kind of hell the whole way. 30 years ago Virginia passed a huge transportation tax that part of it was going to upgrade 58 to near Interstate level. Still waiting on it.
BTW, we are still waiting on the I73 through this area that was promised 25 years ago. Funny how all those stimulus bucks that Obama promised for "shovel ready" projects never went to real construction products but to "greening" of Federal buildings like the one here in Roanoke that cost more than what it would have cost to build a whole new federal building.

Posted by: derit at May 09, 2015 01:31 AM (jT+gh)
See, if I were building a complete AC system, de novo, in air, I'd think evacuation (or purging) would be absolutely required. But I'm taking a leaky one that likely has residual oil/leak-stop/refrigerant left in it, and just changing little pieces about an inch long before pumping a quart more refrigerant, oil, and stop-leak in. 1/4" in diameter by one-inch long isn't a whole lot of contamination.
And to try to vacuum out the remaining 134a with no place to put it, in hopes of boiling off the negligible moisture in the negligible air contamination, sounds very questionable.

In a sense.
Those interested in making a profit want and need a system that allows for a legal and regulatory system that is simple and concise. The 10 Commandments are a rather simple and well known base for a legal system.
Plus, the men coming over may or may not have been "practicing" Christians, but they had a working knowledge of the Bible and some of its laws. Heck, our usury and bankruptcy laws are biblical based.
I think that those companies chose that because it was somewhat already codified in the Bible and that anyone coming from Europe would be at least familiar with it.

Consider the quantum tunneling effect -- Put an electron, or an atom, at the bottom of an energy well where there is NO WAY that any electron/atom has the energy to escape the well; yet some do.
In other words, shit happens. AC is a closed system with lots of time for reactions to occur, however slowly. Add in metals in the system that may have low catalytic activity such as aluminum. Then cook over a long period of time with heat and pressure. Presto, hydrochloric acid.

I wasn't annoyed -- merely amused. And I went back to double-check, in case I'd misremembered the name of one or the other.....but, no, it's the same name.
I didn't pull an "I'm sorry, miss, but this pie is occu-pewed. May I sew you to another sheet?"
This time.

Electrochemistry is a huge field. Of course, chemists might argue that all chemistry is electrical in nature, given that chemical reactions are an exchange of electrons between atoms and/or molecules.
Commercially, electrolysis includes, but is not limited to, electroplating, batteries, refining of metals, cleaning of metals, and manufacture of many basic chemicals. Anywhere that imposed electric current is used to drive a chemical reaction, or is produced as a result of chemical reaction. Storage batteries are a two-way street in that respect.

And now for something completely different:

This is indeed awesome -- but hearing musical Tesla coils really needs for you to be able to smell the ozone. Maker Faire 2015 at the San Mateo event center will most likely include that. It's May 16/17. http://tinyurl.com/kht659o
Every year is different -- here's a taste from 2013: http://tinyurl.com/mm3u3bn
You might also see flaming metal octopi -- 'cause Gaia and carbon and all that -- http://tinyurl.com/ob8ctdd . The vid is from night at Burning Man -- the same work made it to MF 2014. The Maker Faire in the Bay Area has a large influx of "Burning Man, the PG version". [Incidentally, one of the most inspiring works from Burning Man for me was http://tinyurl.com/qeu7af8 -- 17,000 pound slabs of stone as floating playthings....climb on 'em, climb under 'em, sway them to-and-fro. I never saw it live, and the sculptor could be the most rabid lefty ever, but......damn!!!!]
It is highly recommended that NorCal morons visit Maker Faire.....and some guy wearing a cthulhu-themed t-shirt might respond to "val-u-rite?" with "hobo pelts?"

Just one more trade agreement and the 7 percent will be 0 percent. In the next Presidential election I want a split ticket -- half human, half canine. The canines purpose is to sit in the Oval Office and bite anyone who comes near the President. The Presidents purpose is to feed the dog and nothing else.
