Overnight Open Thread (17 Jul 2015)
This Day In History
Boyd had pioneered the theory of energy-maneuverability, and knew that Air Force leaders were trying to turn the new F-X into a flying turkey, akin to the F-111. According to Robert Corham's "Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War," Boyd personally flew from Washington, D.C., to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, threw his wallet across a crowded conference table, and told a group of colonels, "You fuckers are lying," referring to the performance capabilities of the new fighter jet. Boyd's ideas, and boldness, helped turn the F-X into a dogfighter with plenty of power and great maneuverability. The F-X became the Air Force's F-15 Eagle, one of the most successful fighter aircraft in history.Boston Strong?
Even if the belt of ammo was a belt of live ammo, you know what's missing from this story? A gun. Where's the M-60 machine gun that would be required to actually make the ammo go "bang?" According to THIS, "the passengers were in a panic, fearing that the suspect was about to pull out a weapon." Where, exactly, did these brave Bostonian geniuses think he was going to pull out a 30-pound, four-foot-long machine gun from?State Zero This is actually a pretty good post apocalyptic short film.

Planned Parenthood, which was founded by genocidal eugenicist Margaret Sanger to eliminate inferior races and ethnicities, doesn't just offer abortions for s**ts & giggles, but actually sells aborted baby parts.

One of my jobs as an E-4 was dropping off punchcards for the office time cards! Probably the last use for them. And not everyone had desktops so I had to collect reams of paper printouts. Also had to shovel coal to run the Crays.

The bins from card punching machines with their gazillions of cardstock chads. Empty the contents into a bag, take it back to the dorm, pour it out on the floor outside someone's door and then blow the little bits into their room with a blow dryer.

I have to comment on Wrong way Corrigan. I was lucky enough to meet him at Hawthorne airport in CA. There is a small flight museum there and some Engineers from Northrup were putting his plane together out of storage on the tarmac. As my Dad and I walked up and some old guy in a hat was yelling at the Engineer types telling them they were trying to put the Strut/Landing Gear brace on the Port side on wrong... my Dad says Joe grab that there and pull; and I grabbed and pulled on the lower strut and he put the pin in the joint... Corrigan looks at us nods his head and turns and finishes berating the know it all's who didn't want to listen to an old man...

We are just moving out of the old DOS databases at work.
I think we are still running COBOL
"Type CH and the identifying number to see the face page.
"Type DA on the General Option line to open up an event page to make a notation
"Enter a 4 letter event code
"Enter information, making sure something identifiable is on the top line
"enter through to get out."
The one thing going for it is that once you know all the codes and hot-keys you can fly. The new system doesn't fly. It Microsofts.
I had mine color mapped yellow text on a burnt-orange background so it would look like GLaDOS, but that was hard on my eyes. It is now white and green on a black background

I don't think that is really remarkable.I was at 50th VJ Day (Clinton in attendance) festivities at Wheeler AAF - huge military parade with probably 75% of every serviceman on Oahu with disabled arms. With tens of thousands you don't want to risk a single nutter in the group. USSS worked security.Seen Clinton before that in Haiti. USSS worked security there too, as always. No arms this time, townhall type thing.

2 things make men do things:
1. Money
2. Scamper
Both Cruise and Travolta give big money to Scientology, so they won't do anything.
Another reason why nobody in Hollywood goes after Scientology is because they have the goods on almost everyone in Hollywood. If you are a big star, you don't want it known that you have screwed most of the producers/directors in Hollywood, or if you are a producer/director every kid in Hollywood.

"Wouldn't have been hard for this to get off the ground in Chattanooga. There are so many moslems there, that when NPR plays its theme, it's been modified to islamic instruments and melody. That's because a moslem organization pays the bills for NPR in Chattanooga, via contributions. The NPR station there brags about this constantly."

AOP, a wonderful and now deceased Russian tutor was an emigre, had been sort of a big deal in Soviet film circles (dep. director of the Moscow film institute).
Among his many, many fantastic anecdotes was one where he had attended a hockey game in Moscow, a big match, probably Central Army vs. Dynamo, and Brezhnev was there.
At one point, Leonid rose to depart, or "go where the czar goes by foot", or something - nobody knew. The game just sort of stopped, as the wave of robotic Soviet deference and submissive decorum spread from the stands to the ice. The refs finally whistled play dead and pretended to need to confer with the scorekeeper or something. Misha's contempt for the pathetic degraded spectacle that was Soviet life at moments like that just dripped from his words.
Anyway, some here might not appreciate just how creepy and precise the analogy of SJWs policing audience enthusiasm to the vile degradation of totalitarian Soviet life is.
Misha died of a brain hemorrhage, suddenly, back in the 90s. Talk about a treasure being lost. I regret to this day not writing down his anecdotes and jokes - pure gold, as only a theatrical Russian Jew could tell them.

It's immediately tangent to the dimension where the characters in the Highlander series stored their ridiculously large swords until the last 10 minutes of any given episode, and just down from the Library Dimension, where users of the other two swore they were going when they were really getting rated on their mallets and cutlery.

This is tough, but Dutch Reagan, he grew up here and went to HS w/ my Grandad.
Third, my ancestor Jan Jansen van Haarlem. He was a Dutch privateer who ended up working for the Sultan of Morocco in the early 1600s. Was he an evil pirate, in recent years the Dutch have hailed him as a hero?
Here's a link- http://preview.tinyurl.com/ok32v7a .
His son emigrated and was an early settler in New Amsterdam. He and his wife were contentious and kicked out to Long Island. She has been referred to as the first prostitute in the New World. I'd like to think that's false, as some do.
If this interests anyone, and there are thousands of descendants here today, shoot me an email in my nic.
Descendants include the Vanderbilts, Whitneys, Warren G. Harding and Jackie K. Yeah I know, that does sound like a bunch of reprobates.

Forty-some years ago, my (now) wife's first response was, "Don't ask such hard questions." After what seemed like an eternity, she finally said, "Do you really think I could say "no" to you?"
Technically, she never did say "yes", but she did eventually say, "I do". And, that's good enough for me.

I want George Washington... Ben Franklin.... and......
Barrack Obama....
Because my guess is Obama would not leave that meeting in one piece... and me and Ben could watch the fight and drink....

Reagan, Thatcher and John Paul II.
Just to see the smiles on their faces when they talked about bringing down the Iron Curtain would be worth it.
Plus, they would have all kinds of advice about dealing with the USA now.

Yeah, that was annoying. Several friends had 8-track home recorders, and they simply dubbed albums onto 8-tracks, and when the track changed, it changed, ka-chunk! But only a half-second or so of music was lost. Not nearly so obtrusive as the commercial cartridges were.
But I think that was due to how the commercial tapes were duped. They'd record the entire width of the tape at once, all tracks, from a bulk roll of 1/4" tape, and then cut off sections and splice them into the loops to load into cartridges. So they needed some wiggle room in the splice area.

I can never narrow it down to three. It always depends on who(whom?) I've been reading lately, what my current interests are, etc.
Of course Dutch is high on the list, The Duke, Harriet Tubman, where would you draw the line? I just watched "42" recently, and am now fascinated by Jackie Robinson's story - I'd love to buy him a beer or three.

When I was old enough to pick up the receiver on our buttonless, dial-less deskset telephone, an Operator answered, "Number, plea-ase."
I would tell them my buddy Tom's number, "Two Four Six (please)." (Talk about easy to remember! I have no idea what our number was, though.) And that grown-up adult woman would connect me to Tommy's house.
Voice activated!
Later, we got "dial" phones and it was a backward step, but I mastered it. Tom's number ended up being xxx-x246, which I can recite to this day.
Someday, telephoning will be easy again.

Indeed there were. I don't believe that much popular music was put out on them, but they were definitely used for background music sources, and possibly for "talking books" and language lessons, and other applications where sound quality was not paramount.
I did have a stack of the records from a background music machine, and they were annoying to listen to. The sort of thing that gave rise to the term "elevator music".

Appropos of nothing, thus appropos in such a thread, just want to commend "Dang" for his comment in that epic earlier thread for ace's post about being honest in discussions.
After things had become pretty convoluted, and ace had used the term "shame circle" in a comment, Dang commented "what the ever loving fuck is going on here?"

I think I'd be a weird one and go with Charlemagne. He pretty much kick-started mankind's rise out of the dark ages and got the gear of civilization turning again. There's things I could learn from him, I'm sure.
George Washington is also on my short list, but a lot of his thoughts are very well preserved in the written record.

We live in constant flux and change, and can only drive ourselves to be better tomorrow than today, for yesterday is gone -- hoping always that we can discern what is "better".

Since I'm an Army brat who grew up in Yerp, I can't speak for the size of their retail operation. There is a Hires restaurant in Salt Lake City that I highly recommend; good root beer, good food.
Apparently, mom and dad hung out at an A ampersand W quite a bit when they were dating; when he retired and we moved back to the states (and picked up our big American station wagon with the dent in the tailgate because the shipping container wasn't quite large enough), first thing we did was head to an A ampersand W where dad told the waitstaff how long he had been looking forward to it. Only after that did we drive home to Utah.
The A ampersand Ws in Utah that I'm aware of are in Logan and St. George.

You ain't the only one. I was never really far-left, but I used to pride myself on being a centrist, and "open to good ideas no matter where they came from", and thought my parents were just sticks in the mud for being hardcore Reagan Democrats. I figured they were proof of that old saw "there's no believer like a convert." In short, I was so proud of my open-mindedness that my vanity had blinded me to the obvious.
It wasn't a single event that shook me out of it, it was years of watching politics and watching the Left go further and further away from reason into madness that eventually made me go "What the hell? People actually believe this drivel?"
An open mind is like a fortress with its drawbridge down and its gates unbarred.

That's my guess. Engine valves, I think, are often made with head of one alloy friction-welded to a steel stem, are they not?
This engine, strictly speaking, is not a Crosley product. It has "Aerojet" cast into the side of the block, and it was part of a military APU or ground power unit. Had a big fuel-fired heater attached, and was used to run a generator, which was not attached to the engine when I got it. Forged steel crank, 4-ring pistons; it's a beautifully-made little sucker.

If I have it right, 'Aerojet' was the Crosley name for the engine, no? As opposed to 'Aerojet' being a separate company.
Here's nice write-up:
http://preview.tinyurl.com/ygve3bx
Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at July 18, 2015 02:02 AM (9mTYi)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosley
The CIBA (Crosley Cast Iron Block Assembly) was a more traditional and more reliable engine utilizing a cast-iron block. When Crosley Motors, Inc. was sold, the engine was renamed "AeroJet" and production continued. Production of the AeroJet ended in 1955 and the engine rights were sold to Fageol and later to a series of different companies ending in 1972 with the Fisher-Pierce Bearcat 55. Maritime modifications mostly included increasing displacement and converting the engine to operate with a vertical axis.
Hm. Wonder why Aerojet didn't sue them for copyright infringement. I guess they figured that nobody would confuse an internal combustion engine with a solid rocket motor.

....which, I have to admit, is kind of cool on first impression. Based on actual coursework or original scholarship, it'd demonstrate a well-rounded education. It'll probably turn out to have been lifted wholesale from some video game, though.
When I was a kid, there was a series of books done by, IIRC, Penguin, where the left page was in the original language and the right page was translated. Somehow, I got hold of a few and "read" them. I remember how excited I was to find alpha-pi-omega-lambda-lambda-omega on the left page on the same line as "Apollo" on the right. Looking back with a few decades of experience, it may have seemed like a silly game.....except for the way it was so handy when we visited Saint Petersburg. PECTOPAH ftw!

I took college German, so I'm familiar with Nominative, Accusative, Genitive, and Dative, but Instrumental is new to me. Dual is not so strange, but the mechanism to carve it out between singular and plural is intriguing.

620 Cooth your shit is old. I never claimed I was anyone's best friend here; but your claim that we were never friends would surprise a whole host of people who were here for years and years and saw how we interacted.
I don't stir up shit butI do defend myself when someone's talking shit behind my back. Is that wrong? I can imagine what you'd prefer instead... but that's not my perogative.
620 is a pack of lies and a string of slanders. Is it alcohol or pills or a combination thereof? You've known I live in socali for what 5 years and you ask a few weeks ago if I live in Maine? Accuse me of being Ira???
Whatever it is it is beneath you. Your understanding of what my hopes are is pure projection, as of course it must be. All you're doing is spraying your psyche all over your comments. It's not pretty.
Your ass is showing dude and you just don't see it.
I have never talked shit about you behind your back here. EVER. Not ever. Why have I not received the same courtesy? Is talking shit behind people's backs a trait you find admirable or manly? Then we'll have to agree to disagree.

(c) I'm not talking behind your back. I've just decided (especially with the Ira thing) that I'm tired of your shit. I haven't hidden anything and nothing's covert.
(d) I've never said Maine -- I said MA. MA, as in MAx. And as far as where you are......well, gee, we're on the intertubez, ain't we? -- that's totally golden.
(e) I've already confessed to not believing that you're actually Ira, but pretending to believe that in order that you two might both get crosswise. To tell you the truth, I'm thinking that you're the guy in the Army shirt and he's the one in the goatee in front of the castle-ish thing.

(g) After this post, come back again and accuse me of sneaking around behind your back.....
(h) your shit is old and well-documented. I'll lay it out again: you stay quiet for months or years, then resurface to claim you were someone's bestest buddy; after doing this, you'll try to stir up trouble with people on the blog until you're routinely called-out for shit-stirring....then you'll disappear. When you shows up again, people recognize the name, but not (you hope) the history.

Cthulu,
If you're still here: do you read fiction much?
I haven't in ages but you posts above reminded me of a good one. The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russel. The main character is a Father Emilio Sandoz, a Jesuit linguist fluent in - I forget how many - languages and expert in deciphering new ones.
It was a fantastic read but do NOT read spoilers if you're interested.

Hey Cthulhu,
Have you had a chance to look at this list yet? The gaps are what I'm missing but if somebody has them elsewhere it would save some shipping.
