Overnight Open Thread (7-26-2015)
Americans seem to be less shocked than a wee little foreigner such as I that this republic has a corrupt tax collection agency that torments its ideological opponents. I must say the original revelations about the IRS - what is it now? two, three years ago? - did shock me, and the fact that all those people are still in place carrying on as usual shocks me even more. I'm old-fashioned enough to regard a nonpartisan civil service as a basic building block of a civilized society.But the relevance of this to my own situation isn't hard to follow: Michael E Fraudpants' lawyers have already asked for my "donor list". Mann's fellow scientist Dr Peter Gleick burrowed his way into the Heartland Institute and leaked their donor list, and, when that didn't quite do the trick for his purposes, he faked up his own Heartland top-secret document. (Like Mann, Dr Gleick remains a respected figure in the world of climate science.)
So I could set up a 501(c)79(f) and have Mann demanding I cough up the names so that Lois Lerner's chums can audit them, and, if I stonewalled, I'd have to stay up all night to check whether that weird noise at three in the morning is Dr Gleick crawling down the ventilation shaft.
So I'd rather do things the old-fashioned way and sell our exclusive range of DC Superior Court trialwear.

In Defense of America's Love of Air Conditioning and Why It Is Eco-Friendly
I've worked with Germans. And Brits. And Swedes. And Dutch people. And French people. All of whom professed themselves absolutely baffled by our insistence on wasting so much energy cooling our offices and homes, when we could just build buildings that cool themselves naturally if we open the windows occasionally.For Europeans reading this, I may actually be able to clear up this baffling issue: Americans use air conditioning more because America is a lot hotter than Europe is. For example, in Washington, where the weather is apparently "pretty similar" to Berlin, it is expected to be 87 degrees Fahrenheit (31 Celsius) tomorrow. In Berlin, Weather.com informs me that temperatures are expected to be a torrid, sultry . 75 Fahrenheit (23 Celsius).
Of course, on any two random days, the weather might be unseasonably cold or unseasonably hot. You really need to look at monthly averages. And lo and behold, when we look, we discover that Washington has an average temperature of 88 degrees in July, while Berlin has an average temperature of . 73 (yes, that is indeed 31 and 23 Celsius).
And we're not talking about a place that's really hot, like Dallas (average July temperature is 96, or 36 Celsius) or Phoenix (106, or 41 Celsius). We're just talking about a rather ordinary American city in roughly the middle of the country's north-to-south span.
We do have some cities with more European temperatures, including San Francisco and Seattle, but they are not our largest population centers. The rest of the country, even places that are frozen wastelands in the winter, experiences summertime average highs above 80 degrees. That's not a rogue heat wave, the kind that Northern Europeans complain about endlessly while futilely fiddling with their fans. That's just what we Americans call "summer." A heat wave is when it's 100 degrees (38 Celsius) and your dog won't go outside because the pavement burns his feet. . . .
You could argue that if Americans had not migrated en masse from the temperate north to the blistering sunbelt, we would need less energy for climate control. You could argue that, but you'd be wrong. Americans still expend much more energy heating their homes than cooling them. That's actually not that surprising. The difference between the average temperature outside and the temperature that is comfortable inside is generally only 10 to 20 degrees in most of America, for most of the summer. On the other hand, in January, the residents of Rochester, New York - the cold, snowy, rapidly depopulating area that my mother hails from - you need to get the temperature up from an average low of 18 degrees (-8 Celsius) to at least 60 or 65. That takes a lot of energy.
On average, the move from cold areas to warm ones has actually saved energy, not caused us to use more. So why are we so down on air conditioning, while accepting flagrant heat use as normal? In part, it's because air conditioning still seems optional. Unlike a cold winter with no heat, a hot summer with no cooling won't definitely kill you.
And here Daniel Engber shows that AC is actually cheaper and more efficient than heating:
[T]he case against AC has always been more a moral judgment than a scientific one. Summer cooling is no more damaging to the climate than the heating that we do in winter. In fact, it's substantially less so, since the United States burns more fuel on radiators than it does on air conditioners. According to the most recent stats available from the federal government (which cover 2010), the average American household puts 40.4 million British thermal units into home heating, and just 9.3 million BTUs into home cooling. As I've pointed out before, this explains why the long-term shift in population from our coldest, Northern states into the hot and humid South has in sum reduced the amount of fossil fuel we burn to keep our houses at a comfortable temperature. Simply put: It's more efficient to air-condition homes in Florida than it is to warm the ones in Minnesota.
As Insty points out, "snobs, busybodies and puritans seem to occupy colder climates for some reason."
This is the story of Moira Greyland whose parents, Marion Zimmer Bradley and Walter Breen, were fixtures in the science fiction scene of the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. They were also monsters in human skin who both molested their own daughter and likely many, many other children. Walter Breen was eventually sent to prison for child molestation in 1991 where he later died. What's disturbing is that Breen's proclivities were known as far back as the early 60s yet other members of the sci-fi community were unwilling to judge him.
What they did to me is a matter of unfortunate public record: suffice to say that both parents wanted me to be gay and were horrified at my being female. My mother molested me from ages 3-12. The first time I remember my father doing anything especially violent to me I was five. Yes he raped me. I don't like to think about it. If you want to know about his shenanigans with little girls, and you have a very strong stomach, you can google the Breendoggle, which was the scandal which ALMOST drummed him out of science fiction fandom.
...My observation of my father and mother's actual belief is this: since everyone is naturally gay, it is the straight establishment that makes everyone hung up and therefore limited. Sex early will make people willing to have sex with everyone, which will bring about the utopia while eliminating homophobia and helping people become "who they really are." It will also destroy the hated nuclear family with its paternalism, sexism, ageism (yes, for pedophiles, that is a thing) and all other "isms." If enough children are sexualized young enough, gayness will suddenly be "normal" and accepted by everyone, and the old fashioned notions about fidelity will vanish. As sex is integrated as a natural part of every single relationship, the barriers between people will vanish, and the utopia will appear, as "straight culture" goes the way of the dinosaur. As my mother used to say: "Children are brainwashed into believing they don't want sex."
And this story makes the case for her claims that her parents' beliefs are shared by many in the gay community: At Anti-Bullying Conference Led By LGBT Group, Iowa Middle Schoolers Taught About Lesbian Strap-On Anal Sex, Fake Testicles.
Huh - UN Inspectors Will Be Forced To Rely on Nuclear Samples Provided by...Iran
This agreement just gets better and better. It's a farce masquerading as a sham of a mockery of sham of a real agreement.
"In other words, if nuclear inspectors get a hot tip that Iran is conducting (or conducted in the past) atomic-bomb work at a secret site, they don't get to go to the site themselves and take samples from the soil, the walls, etc, to see if there's uranium present," Allahpundit writes at Hot Air. "They get their samples . from Iran. That's like drug-testing a junkie by asking him to bring a sample from home."

Bookworm Travels to the American South For the First Time
I have never felt closer to America's past. I came away with an even greater than usual appreciation for our Founding Fathers, some of whom may have had feet of clay, but all of whom lived in a brilliant and rarefied world that revealed itself in our founding documents.I also felt in my bones, rather than just intellectually, the scourge of the Civil War, the repercussions of which still resonate in our world. And if those who chant "Black lives matter - but no one else's lives do" think they are any different from those who believed in slavery and segregation, they are completely delusional. The takeaway is that the Democrat party never changes: It is now and always will be devoted to racial hatred enforced by government power.
Speaking of the South and race, I've never seen a part of the U.S. that's as racially integrated as the South. Wherever we went, people of all races dined together, traveled together, worked together, or were clearly dating or married without regard to racial boundaries. In my part of the world - the uber-Liberal San Francisco Bay Area - people of various races tend to stick with their own kind. If you walk into a restaurant, the blacks will be at one table, the whites at a second, and the Asians at a third. They won't be fighting, but they sure won't be mixing.
In the South, the races seem to be comfortable to mix-and-match. This integration was so obvious that even the Leftist in our party, who had already delivered a lecture - predicated on the Confederate flag kerfuffle - about the South's racism, was forced to comment upon the harmony we saw.
Venezuela Nationalizes Food Distribution
So the farmers must sell all of their production to state-owned stores and distributors at prices set by them. You can guess what the outcome of this will be.
My predicted outcome from this is that Venezuela is now one harvest away from serious starvation.The point of this history stuff is to see what didn't work and then not repeat it. Yet Maduro appears to be selecting the very worst public policies of the past as those that he will impose today. Confiscating the food off the farmers is just going to lead to no farmers and no food.

Is The 9mm vs .45 ACP Debate Over?
Essentially yes. With modern HP 9mm ammunition there's effectively no difference between the two calibers. So use whichever you prefer.
When using any sort of "like" ammunition for comparison, the .451? bullet of the .45 ACP is going to make a bigger hole than a .355? 9mm bullet. That allowed, the FBI Training Division noted that with modern ammunition, the difference in actual wounds in human bodies is so slight that doctors can discern no difference between the wound channels caused by 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP handguns.

I used to know a woman at work whose husband was from St. Louis and he
was a diehard Card fan. They would go to St. Louis for Christmas and
one of his relatives there belonged to the same church as the Pujols
family.
Around 2009 or 2010 or so, this church put on some sort of
children's Christmas pageant and the Pujols Down syndrome kid was given
a very small part - it entailed just standing on the stage carrying a
banner or something. My coworker said the poor girl came out on stage
looked at the crowd - and began shaking. She cried out "Daddy! I'm
scared!" and Albert was up there in a flash. He picked her up and
carried her offstage, with a stricken expression on his face.
My coworker was as big a Brewer fan as I am, but she said she
couldn't hate Albert after that - every time he stepped up to the plate,
she remembered him carrying that scared child offstage.

Well the Japanese don't use enough AC IMO and are under social pressure to keep temperatures high.
And their heating is weak as well. I'm convinced that using real insulation in all new construction would make a noticeable difference in their energy consumption for heating and AC.

*Hilarious* music vid that works even if you don't speak German and thus can't understand the lyrics: "Frauen Sind Die Neuen Maenner" (Women Are the New Men) by Die Prinzen. It's basically about how women are not just moving into male-dominated fields but beginning to imitate the behaviors they've always complained about in men--and most of the vid is a high-powered female executive with a pajama-boy house husband... wife going out drinking with the gals when hubs has spent all day slaving over a hot stove, etc. But there are also scenes of the band having a "support group" session in which one of the guys finally blows up and tries to convince the other guys to man up and stop crying.

Because it was probably unbearably hot.
I guy I used to know (long dead from cancer) was in the Merchant Marine in WWII, and was asleep naked in his bunk (hammock) when they called them to General Quarters in the middle of the night. They were crossing the Indian Ocean, and it was 104F in the middle of the night.
He reports to battle stations with his life perserver and helmet on, and nothing else. He was lucky he wasn't busted out for that, even in the Merchant Marine. He told me that story and was laughing the whole time. About 38 years ago.

That said, I prefer the venerable .45 ACP over 'em both. 1911 Commander is never far from hand. And now that Ruger makes an affordable Lightweight Commander, I'll be checking into that option, right soon.
And the 9mm gets damn near as small as the .380 in some guns, with the exception of KelTec P3AT and Ruger's LCP.
It's all a tradeoff, and it all largely depends on the season and one's wardrobe.
Besides, there's always the wheelgun options, too. And don't think you're undergunned with a J frame Smith, either.

Kinetic energy. 230 grains hits harder than 115 grains.
Posted by: rickb223 at July 26, 2015 11:23 PM (vxBxx)
Note that kinetic energy = 1/2mV^2 Double the mass at a given velocity, you double the kinetic energy. Double the velocity of a slug of given mass, and you quadruple kinetic energy. If you start with 230 grain bullets, and 115 grain bullets, both with the same velocity, you need only increase the velocity of the smaller bullet by 1.414 (root, 2) to double its kinetic energy.
I'm not partisan in the 9 mm vs .45 ACP debate; just pointing out that velocity is the more critical term in kinetic energy calculations because of that little "2" superscript.

In that instance, Albert was acting as a man and a father should act - protective of his child. The terrible Greyland story is about parents preying on their child and other children as well.
We hear so much about politicians, sport figures, celebrities, and yes, writers behaving horribly - it's rather nice to contemplate someone, who, in a small way, did something kind and loving.

There was a very creepy textbook "Our Bodies, Ourselves" by the "Boston Women's Health Collective" which came out in the 1970's. My sister had it as a textbook then (she went to a nominally Catholic women's college, but believe me, this college went Left Wing Feminist big time in the '70's, so much so that it was a local joke. The Catholicism was barely present.).
I was in high school and it shocked me - filled not only with godawful black and white photographs of hairy, unattractive 70's feministas, but with really disturbing stories from "liberated women."
I remember stories in that book about how these women encouraged their small kids to masturbate and how they would let their kids touch them inappropriately. (Didn't want to cause them to have any 'hangups' you see.)
There was one story I still remember after all these years - a feminists'uptight 50's mom was visiting and was appalled when the feminist's little toddler came running out naked and holding an empty TP roll. The kid squatted down and peed though the roll all over the kitchen floor, which the feminist thought was great. "She's so uninhibited!!" The grandma was repressed and stuff because she didn't approve of kids peeing on the kitchen floor.
Thank God, my sister saw though this shit. My parents would have been throughout appalled if they had gotten a look at this textbook.

32 revolvers are very hard to come by in Commiefornia. Ruger's 327 offerings (also not plentiful, but allowed to be "imported") defeat my purpose - getting a small/light platform the wife will handle/like better.
Caliber wars: recall that a sidearm for the military is a comparatively small matter, not related to actual combat power. Outside special forces, it's a fairly small consideration. So .... weight. Just asI marvel at the WWII GI humping his Garand and even one 10-clip ammo belt plus a few extras (along with everything else),when comparing to an M-4 and standard ammo load-out, think of the weight differences. When I'm shooting 45, my rangebag or ammo can weighs a ton; with 9, much lighter (for more rounds).
Given the minor role played bystandard sidearms for most forces, the weight/logistics considerations alone for calibers with comparable effects seem clear.

My father arrived on Guam shortly before the U.S. nuked Japan. A month or so after the surrender, Admiral Nimitz visited the naval base at Guam. My dad stepped out of the showers, buck naked, just in time to see Nimitz's jeep heading his way before making a turn in front of the showers.
Since dad was out of uniform, he couldn't salute, so he just stood there as Nimitz approached and passed in front of him.

PBY story sounds right, rescued a flyer from the water, no time to put clothes back on. In all likelihood, though, those "clothes" would have consisted of shorts, in that climate. Friend who was Guadalcanal (fairly early, October '42 as a replacement after the "Night of the Battleships") said they rarely wore more than shorts and boots (aviation ordnanceman, he never left the ground). He's got a great collection of photos to prove it - skinny young Depression kids standing there in shorts and boots striking tough poses with 1911s and Thompsons, in front of palm trees.

Yannow, if you were to let slip where that calamity took place, I'd be tempting to go dredging for it. Under Canada's weird gun laws, a C96 Mauser is deemed an "antique firearm" and is not subject to registration of any kind.

Michael the Hobbit, thanks for sharing that. Which reminds me to once again call upon Muldoon, if he's reading this, to again share excerpts from his dad's WWII diary, when he feels like it. Those so far were excellent.
And on that note, a sad note. A friend's father passed away at 90 last week. Navy corpsman, first wave ashore at Iwo Jima - and he never got so much as a scratch, while something like 90% of corpsmen there were casualties, overall. The Japanese, as with other corpsmen, would learn his nickname and attempt to lure him out into the open during combat by trying to imitate wounded Marines calling for him.

Jim, thanks. I'm aware of the versatility of that chambering (one reason I like the idea) - but I'm looking for a revolver that's lighter than those using the .327. Given the "heft" of that caliber (when full house) obviously I'm paddling up-stream.
But hey, I just thought of a good use for those scandium/alloy revolver frames - a .327, using the down-loaded other 32 calibers, might actually be a sweet combo. Don't think there's a scandium .327 out there, yet, though.

Mr Browning's pistol in .45ACP, Mr Garand's lovely invention in 30.06 and my beloved M14 in 7.62.
I own all 3 and really see no need for anything else, which leaves me more money for their food.
But STILL there is a gang of other weapons of varying calibers crowding up the gun room.
Someone should do a study on this phenomonon.

I remember in the "be prepared" and "weather" sections the book warned Indians to be aware that the U.S. capital is extremely hot and that going from the inside of a building to the outside on an August day (the hottest part of summer) could be very surprising as "the outside air at times hits you like a furnace." That was over ten years ago and I still remember my laughter and thinking about Indians being warned about our country's hot weather.

Jim - aye aye, sir, will do, and thanks! Hadn't kept up, didn't know the LCR came in .327. That is exactly the lightweight version I was thinking of. Of course if I get it, I'll have to add more dies for the press. And having shot one cylinder (one) of standard factory .38 in an LCR, wonder if I could find the sweet spot of acceptable recoil (for her) and useful ballistics.
Cicero, bought my 1911 from a guy who was swapping it out for one in 38 Super. What is the appeal/advantage of 38 super in the 1911? I definitely have a hankering for a 1911 in 9mm, due to the weight and presumed stability this combo delivers.

My suggestion? Get a Taurus 85 Lightweight in the 3" bbl., fixed sight, and have a trusted gunsmith true-up the action. Then have him install a tritrium front sight, and a corresponding "Novak" style rear sight. There's one out there for small frame revolvers, but I don't recall the maker, offhand.
She can shoot 148 gr. .38 spl wadcutters for practice, and they're actually effective defense rounds at close range.
Then, some good .38+P rounds for carry/defense. 125 TXPs work wonders.
And if the .38 is still too much for her? Go to .22 Magnum. Nearly the same energy transfer, but much easier to shoot.
In any case, go with the 3" bbl if you go with a revolver. Just. Works. Better.

The plane he was gunner in spotted a Marine pilot who'd been shot down and was badly burned and blinded by spilled fuel. Japs were shooting at him from shore. When our guys' plane showed up, the Japs started shooting at them, too. In the midst of this hail of gunfire, our hero stripped and jumped into the water to save the Marine's life. The photo was taken after he'd climbed back aboard, not stopping to put on clothes because they were under fire and his first thought was FIRING BACK.

Shouldn't be shocking at all. Anyone remember the "Safe Schools Czar" Kevin Jennings who was pushing this very thing all across the country? Remember "Fistgate"?
Kevin Jennings may have been fired, but obviously the message of sexualizing children remains in schools across the nation. And has now gotten a rubber stamp from SCOTUS with the same-sex marriage ruling. Nothing is taboo anymore. That is the goal of the LGBT movement. And if anyone disagrees, they will be labeled bigots and phobics.
This is only going to get worse if people en masse don't stand up to this madness.

I guess what I was driving at, is there a recognized metric for relating impact energy to projectile cross-sectional area to get a proxy for expected depth of penetration?
I'm not sure. I note that projectile node design seems to play a significant part. There's a French projectile design from the mid-80's (if not earlier), the THV, that seems to be quite destructive.
The projectile is brass, instead of lead, so it's about half the weight of a usual load and therefore much faster, and has a roughly a reverse-ogive design.
The pictures I saw in the International Defense Review writeup showed a .357 projectile (6" revolver, 45gr, 2500fps)in ballistic gel ... the exit hole diameter was about 3".

Up in Canada, we used to get AM stations in Oklahoma.
Posted by: Vendette at July 26, 2015 11:51 PM (TEpA2)
Way back when, there were a bunch of 50000 watt "clear-channel" AM stations. WLW, WGN, WSM, WBT, WABC, WSB, WJR and a about 25 or so more. No one else had their frequency at night, and a lot of them went coast to coast. They tended to be very profitable because of that signal, so they usually carried the local baseball teams' games, which in turn made them even more profitable.
Sad thing is that back in the 70's, those stations quit worrying about being regional/national stations and began focusing on just their own markets. Because of that, they didn't need to keep their signals going big, and the areas that they had their antennas became prime real estate, they neglected the ground array of their antenna systems, and now they don't have the same reach as they used to.
I do miss sitting out and listening to some of those stations.

As a teenager back in the '60's I used to listen to DX a lot on short wave and medium wave. From Vancouver, B.C., I could reliably listen to WWL in New Orleans, and KSL in Salt Lake City, and another station in Texas, whose call letters I don't recall. I remember one time, sitting in my VW dune buggy on Long Beach, west coast of Vancouver Island (before they closed it to vehicles, the peckerheads) and picked up a station in Honduras on the tube-type Blaupunkt radio. Loud and clear.

A few years back, I used to go to the local dive bar every day after work to wind down.
one day, as I'm swapping stories with some random dude beside me, a guy at the end of the bar seized up & fell right out of his barstool like an anchor.
We jumped up & ran to start CPR, the bartender dialed 911 - like it was one fluid motion. He went away in the ambulance just fine.
The gal beside the guy sat there frozen in terror. Basically in shock.
I saw her a week or so later, and she was still crying about it. Turns out she was a registered nurse, and couldn't get over the fact that she froze. The only one in the building with proper training froze when the time came, and she couldn't sleep at night afterwards. ..

To give you an idea of how much power that is, a simple CB radio, run through a 100 watt linear amplifier, will absolutely blanket any TV signal within about 200 ft. of the CB's antenna.
No matter what station your TV was tuned to, you would hear what the CB had to say, and not your Favorite Martian on the teevee.
Good thing the 50k Clear Channel signal was nowhere near the TV transmission bands in those days.
It's a good thing that high power AM radio gets transmitted from a unidirectional antenna. Focus that much power in one direction, and whatever it hits, is a microwave dinner.

They're not as visually stimulated, and not quite the same way. They're more willing to overlook a paunch if the guy looks like he's a defender / a provider / loyal / shrewd / aggressive. Guys are more willing to overlook a passive, demanding woman if she's got a nice pert rack and a tight ass. Again -- generalizations -- but it's not an either/or......it's how the tradeoffs are slanted.

Pressed in before or after cooking? How sliced? Are the onions fried before, after, or during? What does Oklahoma have to do with it?

White Castle's website says that there are only five places to get them in all of California -- coincidentally, all located nearby. Two are 7-11's, one's a Save-Mart, one's a Walgreens, and one's a Rite-Aid. How am I supposed to know a White Castle from a Hot Rock?

There are two fast-food outlets that I associate with massive (repeated) food-poisoning attacks: Arby's and Der Wienerschnitzel. I just can't set foot in one without flashbacks to calling the dinosaurs....

To stretch a dime, and to give his customers more to eat, he loaded up a burger with a LOT of onion.
Basically, put a crapton of finely sliced onions on the flat top to grill. Press a patty (or press a ball of meat until it becomes a patty) firmly into the cooking onions. Grill that side to a nice crust.
Flip burger & onions as one unit. Get crust on that side. Slap entire assembly on a toasted bun with onions & pickles. Enjoy.
Repeat as needed.

Got it. Sounds good. How did it get attached to Oklahoma and why doesn't it get mustard? (probably best applied to "top" before flipping).

They're on the White Castle website. There some boxed frozen crap with a White Castle logo sold at my local Lucky's that didn't make the cut. I believe those five outlets are paying licensing fees and are purporting to put out the right stuff. Mind you, I'm not going there.....

It gets better if you include a bunch of purple and Yukon Gold potatoes, use scallions and garlic amongst the sweet onions, change up the cheese, and add herbs such as savory and parsley with the dairy, which can be expanded to include cream, half-n-half, or butter.

it. Heat is good. The hotter the better.
Posted by: bruce at July 27, 2015 06:22 AM (PgNoS)
As a former Floridian, I have to laugh. 100F with maximum humidity ain't nothing any reasonable person can take for very long. Sweating doesn't work the way it's supposed to in those conditions, you just get really wet and stay hot, since it can't evaporate. The only way to cool off is to go inside and either wait for your clothes to dry, or change.
It's actually hotter in Texas, gets up to 110 on occasion where I live, but it's a lot less miserable.

Background:
Retired Machinist Mate
A good day at work starts at 100 degrees, and about 60% humidity.
Stationed in South Carolina, and Mayport Florida, it just gets worse.
Spent thirty years doing that kind of stuff.
Never was bothered by heat and humidity.
Transferred to Sasebo, in southern Japan, and also spent some time at Okinawa.
I thought I knew heat.
In the summertime, 90 degrees in Okinawa will flat knock your dick into the dirt faster then you can believe.
I never felt heat like that in my life.

It's just a normal case of the Leftist mindset. Their philosophy begins with the rejection of the idea of objective truth, which leads to their complete ideological relativism. The world that exists only in their minds is a perfectly and unfailingly random world, but Western Civilization has still been on a winning streak since the Greeks learned to write. We're obviously dirty, horrible cheaters that should be punished. Everything we do, every underpinning of our culture is to be abhorred and replaced, no matter how repellant the alternative.
It's always Opposite Day to them. And if heterosexuality is the normal state of humanity, they'll pick every possible alternative at once, and try to push them all until one catches on. That it doesn't work in a reproductive sense, or pursues a vain object is immaterial to them. It's not how we do things, therefore it's been victimized by our constant success thus is owed its day in the sun. They're insane. Completely and utterly insane.
