Overnight Open Thread (10-20-2015) [Misanthropic Humanitarian]
Good evening and welcome to the Maetless ONT. As we are all having some withdrawal symptoms let's start this party with a few some quotes of the day.
In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress.
-- John Adams
If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.
-- Mark Twain
Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But then I repeat myself.
-- Mark Twain
I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
--Winston Churchill
A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
-- George Bernard Shaw
A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money.
-- G. Gordon Liddy
Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.
-- P.J. O'Rourke
Now that the democrats have had their first debate we will need to know the lingo of the MSM. Here's a quick study guide courtesy of American Digest.
ISIS is busy destroying 2000+ year old relics. Seems they destroy anything they can't grasp, create, or is not mentioned in the Koran. Wait until they run into these items. I've seen a couple of these up close. Awesome machines, now if we could only get the government to work as efficiently.
We’ve had major changes with computer programs at work. So how many of you work with a crack IT Department?
Recently the Pope was here in the USA. It is comforting that he reached out as Jesus would. Anybody in that picture named Judas?
Speaking of the Pope, didn't God admonish man to have dominion over the earth and the animals? I grew up not too far from this town and this was always a big thing. But, not anymore. Obviously there are too many people that don't believe in fun and have way too much spare time on their hands.
Although we might have dominion over the earth and God's creatures, this woman obviously didn't get the message. Just a hint, you'll be cheering for the 4 legged animal.
Here's something for the lovers of gingers:
I'll give you a hint, she starred in a couple of John Wayne movies.
I want to thank Ace & Maetenloch for the opportunity to be a guest cob this evening. Remember, it looks easier than it is. Good night Morons.

It's overwhelming, their destruction of history.
Recall the MSM/Lefty outrage during the 1st days of the Iraq war when it was reported Iraq's antiquities had been stolen? (Hidden, but it was a much better BDS meme to say stolen).
Why not now? They lack of coverage is just as infuriating as the act --- because they are assisting in letting ISIS to continue what it's doing.

Whoever it is who composed Deuteronomy had deliberately designed it as a covenant between two parties, in the Near Eastern style. Which is pretty much what the Jews and Samaritans have been saying for three thousand years (roughly).
I've argued with Jews here on a few doctrinal issues. Not on that one, though...

William Blake's "Jerusalem" was always a head scratcher when they played that at chapel. He was... not exactly orthodox in his theology. And the song itself is an eschatological anthem.
We might as well have been singing Belinda Carlisle.

Sometimes it must be pointed out, that certain people, even Nobel prize winners, hide some very ugly skeletons in their closets. If "Fabian Socialist" does not ring certain bells, I would politely suggest some further reading in regards to Mr. Shaw.

It depends on what you take with you. I have lots of stuff, including targets, pens, markers, range finder, bags for cases, usually three pistols, ... so I find one of the double computer bags perfect. But, if you are just bringing a gun and some ammo (and getting the rest of what you need at the range) then I don't see why you would need anything more than a purse. Even just a backpack is perfectly fine if it fits all your stuff.

He got back an acidic missive stating that any school that encouraged pupils to bother the great at their work should be burnt to the ground. We used to dig that up every few years and pass it around. At one time, the (signed, sure as hell) letter was framed in the lobby. Lately they've been covering it up, and expunged it from Wiki.

Yep. I would have loved to do one of those genetic tracings but I never trusted any of those companies with my data. I still don't trust them if they claim they'll delete it. They're generally full of shit and there's little question in my mind that they'll keep the data stored somewhere, even if just "by mistake".
it's a real shame because it would be really neat to get my DNA analyzed.
Of course the worst part about that story is that I don't even have control over it as the idiots were making familial connections on the DNA, which is total bullshit. Of course, if people knew how inaccurate finger print IDs are they'd gasp at that, too.

The Civil War severely curtailed river traffic, and, fearing that he might be impressed as a Union gunboat pilot, Clemens brought his years on the river to a halt a mere two years after he had acquired his license. He returned to Hannibal, where he joined the prosecessionist Marion Rangers, a ragtag lot of about a dozen men. After only two uneventful weeks, during which the soldiers mostly retreated from Union troops rumoured to be in the vicinity, the group disbanded. A few of the men joined other Confederate units, and the rest, along with Clemens, scattered. Twain would recall this experience, a bit fuzzily and with some fictional embellishments, in The Private History of the Campaign That Failed (1885). In that memoir he extenuated his history as a deserter on the grounds that he was not made for soldiering.
So, in his own words he was a deserter.

If anyone needs carpet-Empire Today SUCKS! I called them because my older brother had them put in new carpet in his bedroom.
I am not patient. Guy was supposed to be here between 2-4 last Tuesday. I called around 3 pm & he was called & said he'd be here by 4. Nothing until 4:31 & a woman called to tell me he'd be there in 20 minutes. I told her it was 4:32 & if he rings bell any later than 4:52 I wasn't answering. He didn't show up until 5:10-12 & I should have stuck to it. I let jerk in & he told me it is a small job (one hall & one bathroom) & minimum is $750 per room. I showed him carpet downstairs & told him that is exactly what I want. I need new bathroom linoleum too & it really is minimum per room.
Sexist SOB made me pay 50% vs my brother $50. I gave a check & it came out of my account almost immediately.
I don't pay attention to commercials & my brother told me to try Luna. It's $500 minimum per house & man was early & called to ask if he could come earlier but I wasn't ready yet.
He was here 10 minutes early, called to ask where to park & I am getting three rooms done for price of 2 with Empire.
I cancelled before 5 pm the next day, check for $637.50 is out of my acct & they sent emails yesterday to prepare for installation.
I called & told man they were sexist because I own house & brother only had to make $50 deposit. I want $$ back ASAP & won't have it for 10-15 business days.
Don't use Empire Today.
That's all.

They were really good at concentration camps, although many here know full well that was a British invention (and that doesn't count those who, by the waters of Babylon, sat them down and wept).
From the end of the Holy Roman until about 1850, Germans had a reputation for being amiable and sentimental fellows, full of beer and prone to laziness. It's odd that the period of German enterprise and cruelty begins almost the same time as a handful of scholarly rabbis spurred the German Jews to become intellectuals.

I'd look into the poetry first.
Take the "Song of Deborah" : Poetry is composed to be memorised. Judges 4 (prose) looks like an attempt to explain Judges 5 (poetry). I wonder if other Israelite communities had passed down other ways of explaining that poem...
... but either way, Judges 5 has to be extremely old. As in, almost Bronze Age old.

I don't know what the JEPD theory is.
An interesting point about the Torah and the Hittites: For a very long time the only mention anyone knew of the Hittites was from the Torah, so most of the "intellectuals" just assumed that the Hittites had never really existed. That was, until archaeological evidence (and later egyptian evidence) was found.
By and large the historical accountings of the Torah have been pretty accurate. Most of the "holes" in the Biblical accounting have eventually been filled correctly, or with historical events landing pretty close.
As to those who try to claim that the Torah parttly derivative work, taken from many civilizations that have long since ceased to exist and left paltry few pieces of their own ... I don't know. It's weird that only one civilization from that time continued to exist (and to have major impacts on the world). Even the Greeks, who fielded some of the most concentrated genius in all of human history, essentially fell into the background and have not had any great impact on the world since their ancient times. There is clearly something very new and different in the Torah that gave birth to such a culture, which, through its history has clearly been shown to be different from all others.

Anyways, I finally moved to Pale Moon which uses Firefox code and my downloader program works. They have an Ad-block program which I occasionally turn off here so I can click a few ads but that runs great. And I'm happy with the privacy settings.
I hope this helps. I hated switching browsers because it's another little pain in the butt but I'm glad I did.

As for memory of the Hittites, the Bible's memory of them refers to the 'neo Hittite' kingdoms - the citystates left behind during the Iron Age. Even the Bible doesn't really remember, say, Suppiluliuma I.

Sure, but that just makes sense since the Bible is the history of the Hebrews (once Abraham appears and that part gets kicked off) and only mentions others in their interactions with the nation of Israel. But it was interesting that no one else had any contemporary knowledge of the Hittites for so long and the Torah was the only known reference to carry mention of it through the millenia.

Do these exist on the East Coast?
We had a visitor from the East Coast out here one time and took him to a beach where some kelp had washed up. As is usual, when you walk by this kelp, it stirs up storms of flies.....that locals ignore because they're totally harmless. In that I still had welts from my encounter with no-see-ums on Fort Sumter, I could well understand how he nervously backed away from the kelp flies.

The Yahwist source uses the ineffable Name, the Elohist uses "Elohim" (Lord) rather than the Name, the Priestly source is concerned with ritual, while the Deuteronomist is concerned with the "Second Law" found mostly in Deuteronomy.

The engine may still be usable on XP but much of the distinguishing features happen in the code on top of the rendering engine. If that code is dependent on post-XP APIs, it isn't going to work.
You really, really may want to consider getting into something that isn't over a decade old. It's only a matter of time before Firefox drops support too as newer APIs become too useful to ignore.

I was always curious about why the Native Americans never invented the wheel like the ME and European cultures did. The wheel was probably the most significant invention in ancient times.

But, as most of those ponies weren't much larger than a Chinese Lunch Dog, they weren't much in the domestic employ of the time.
The Plains Indians rocked it with the horse. But I don't think the Aztec or Inca would've found similar success.
The jungle offers scant feed for a horse, the climate doesn't favor them and the thick jungle defends against their natural advantages.
Mules and donkeys are the jungle masters. And the Spaniards didn't go long on mules n' donkeys on the import manifests.

But that's the point. They would use dogs to pull travois. They never used the wheel to transport goods. Horses didn't show up again until after the Spanish and Portuguese brought them to the new world. And they brought the wheel with them because they had been using it for a couple of millennia.

Anna, admittedly a bit wild and possibly completely baseless, but I've been wondering whether the electoral calamity up north might result in Canada dropping their F-35 participation. Due to retrenchment in defense spending. And because the plane is a very bad, very expensive fit for Canada's mission.
Probably not an option at this point. Just crossed my mind. Have had some Canadians who seemed pretty well versed in military thinking up yonder express something close to panic and despair over the cost and characteristics of the system.

Now my policy is preemptive strike via Mass Murder.
I put out a bunch of D-Con all over where they come in (yes I've tried to plug up the gaps but the little buggers get in anyway) so as to greet them at the door with poison.
Poisoning them after they've gotten in just leads to a nasty smell for a week or so.
I kill them BEFORE they get anywhere near me and the living spaces.

My old house had a really bad mouse problem. If your neighborhood has stray cats, start putting out cat food. Put little caches of it in places that the mice get in. The cats will start congregating there and marking their territory, and the smell of cat pee will stop the influx. Alternately, get a cat of your own for the yard. Once you've stopped the influx, it's about removing the population you've already got.
Glue traps work fairly decently, and so do standard traps if you bait them with the right things (peanut butter works), but my favorite method was one I discovered when a couple of mice ran into the bathroom when I was on the toilet. Use the plunger. Hit them with the cup to trap them, push down, then pull up quickly. The rapid change in pressure stuns them, then you throw them in the toilet and flush before they come to. This only works if you have quick reflexes, but it's really effective once you master it.

What sort of perversions will the lefties try to smuggle into the Peanuts reboot? Gay/trans/Islamic Peanuts?
Well, since the joke has always been that "Peppermint" Patty (whose real name is Patricia Reichhardt) and her friend Marcie were gay, I wouldn't be surprised to see some sneaky, yet easily deniable, nod made to that. Just to stick it to the straights, of course.
But this being Obama's America and Hollywood being Hollywood, I expect Franklin (the only black in Peanuts, IIRC) to have a much larger role. And I'm sure there'll be something in there about global warming.
Not that I care. Peanuts jumped the shark around 1965.

And speaking of ruining childhood - I'm not about to get off my ass and check, but didn't the first Scooby-Doo movie make a joke about Velma having the hots for Daphne? That sort of stuff is OK among adults (the whole Ginger or Maryann bit), but why does it have to be shoved in to something ostensibly designed for children?
Actually, I know. The sexualizing of children is the biggest plank in the Democrat platform, right next to the Satan-given right to murder them in utero.

Brian was found unresponsive in the back seat of some girls car and a passing nurse gave him cpr until he was taken to the local hospital. He was then airlifted to the trauma center in a larger town (Melbourne). He had brain bleed and was in a coma and remained that way. He was brain dead. We pulled life support last Tuesday after his sister arrived and had a chance to say goodbye.
The rest of the story: There was some guy there who admitted hitting him. The police know who he is and from all I can tell want him badly. The girl hasn't had the same story twice even to the police. We are waiting on the autopsy to tell us more.
My son used drugs, this may have caused a weakness in the blood vessels but they couldn't tell because the hospital had to keep him stable and could not run the needed tests.
Hopefully we find some answers soon, but in the meantime thank you all so much for caring.

Shouldn't that be "AUGH!" ?
Anyway. . .I only ever watched the first Peanuts special, which stayed, I thought, pretty close to the mood of the strip in the mid-60s. I always preferred the first 5 or so years of the strip, where Charlie Brown was more of a wiseguy, cracking jokes and playing pranks on Patty and Violet. Once Snoopy became "aware," the strip was ruined for me.
And, I confess, although I understood / -stand Charlie Brown's unhappiness and self-loathing, I never quite got why he felt so bad, considering that he did have friends - if Linus, Lucy, Shermy and the rest really hated him, he'd have always been alone. I suppose the strip was just one long psychological scream of rage from Schulz.

If you're in the West where it's still dark, there's a beautiful line-up of planets this morning. Venus, Jupiter and Mars and if you wait until just before dawn, Mercury.
Venus magnitude -4.6 the brightest one and highest up
Jupiter magnitude -1.8
Mars magnitude 1.7
All these objects are up well before morning twilight starts to paint the sky. And just as twilight begins, Mercury pops into view near the eastern horizon. The innermost planet currently is in the midst of its finest morning apparition of 2015.

When the sun is low to the horizon, or still beneath it, and stars are no longer visible, any bright object is most likely a satellite.
There are websites that will show you the location of the planets in the sky relative to your position. Whenever I've used one of those tools to look at another planet I can find the planets but they're not very bright.

We have three other political parties who are supposedly to the left of the Liberals--the NDP, the Bloc Quebecois and the Green Party, but I'm not so sure. I'm sure we have the Communists in the mix as well. Think of this Trudeau as our Obama right down to youthful dope with no experience, knowledge or common sense, CHANGE!!!, the one-percenter crap, deficits (for investment in jawbs, don't you know and hey, lets have tons of Syrian refugees. He was elected by the 50 % of dumbass, handout loving, 47 % pickpockets--you know the type.
What I liked about Harper was that the was a straight shooter, supported Israel, cut my taxes, and stayed out of my grill. That and the fact the media hated him.
I like the fact that they have a majority as they are 100 % responsible for the mess they are going to create. The Liberals are promising--yes, promising--deficits for the next three years. The only thing that could save them is if the US rebounds because of the Democrats being turfed.
And maybe because I'm on the outside looking in, but you guys always have an election coming up.
Go Jays! (although I think they pretty well already gone).
