Overnight Open Thread (11-30-2015)
Remembering Johnny 'Mike' Spann 15 Years Later
He was killed on November 25, 2001 during the Battle of Qala-i-Jangi when Taliban prisoners (including John Walker Lindh) gained access to weapons and attacked. He was the first American killed in Afghanistan after 9/11.
Vetted Refugees in America Try to Join ISIS
Reading the criminal complaint and underlying affidavit, I was struck by how "connected" the six men were to local schools and jobs. They were "connected" right up until the moment they weren't. The Star Tribune noted this aspect of the case in the article "Minneapolis men facing ISIL-linked terrorism charges belie stereotypes." I was also struck by the mysterious appearance of cash to pay for the travel each of the six planned to Syria.
In the case of Guled Omar, the travel expenses were to be defrayed in part by taxpayers. The affidavit reveals: "Bank records obtained show that OMAR withdrew $5,000 in cash from his federal educational financial aid debit card in the weeks leading up to his attempted departure." It's a striking fact I haven't seen noted or have overlooked in news of the charges.
20 Years Since Sammy Hagar Got His Wish
'Shockingly' the highways have not turned into the predicted bloodbath.
On November 29, 1995, President Clinton grudgingly signed a highway bill repealing the much-hated National Maximum Speed Limit. In 1973, President Nixon signed the NMSL into law in an effort to force people to save gas. This law allowed the federal government to withhold federal highway money from states that didn't drop their speed limit to 55 mph. Real-world fuel savings were negligible. Safety activists proclaimed that it saved a lot of lives, and would bring out charts showing that the highway fatality rate had dropped since the law was enacted. The starting point for said charts was when the law was enacted, and sure enough, the fatality rate decreased in the years after. Had they shown a chart going back decades, you would have seen that the fatality rate had been declining since the late 1940s.
Those Sweet Gentle Syrian Refugees
Who are all women and children and just like us.
When Syrian refugees were asked to list the greatest threat, 29 percent picked Iran, 22 percent picked Israel and 19 percent picked America. Only 10 percent viewed Islamic terrorism as a great threat.By way of comparison, twice as many Iraqis see Islamic terrorism as a threat than Syrians do and slightly more Palestinian Arabs view Islamic terrorism as a threat than Syrians do. These are terrible numbers.
Thirty-seven percent of Syrian refugees oppose US airstrikes on ISIS. 33% oppose the objective of destroying ISIS.
Meanwhile Europe doubles down on their hope and virtue-signaling as a strategy.
Weslayan University Students Demand Campus Surveillance Bureaucracy
To monitor for 'microaggressions' and other bad-thoughts on the part of professors.
And VDH brings a little clear thinking to the upside down world of the modern campus:
Students need to decide whether they are ten or twenty. One cannot be both infantile and mature as the situation demands. If one in four women are truly sexually assaulted on campus, then why not end co-ed dorms, the incubator of date rape? Dress codes for both men and women might discourage callous sexuality and cruel hook-ups. In this regard, the treasured Middle Eastern Studies department or the local black Muslim mosque might offer some empirical advice about the separation of the sexes and proper female attire, in a nonjudgmental manner of course.If African-American students want more segregated black safe spaces and theme houses, then stop blaming administrators, and demand that students be categorized by race and housed in dormitories accordingly. To remove the odor of apartheid and segregation, we could use Orwellian language to expand the idea of "theme" houses: the Africana Row, the European Village, the Asian Neighborhood, and on and on. Do we want "white meditation rooms" or "Asian sanctuary plazas" or "Latino reflection gardens"?
How strange that students damn frat predators on campus and racist attitudes that ignore disparate impact, then head to 1940s-like Saturday football games. Don't they know that statistically the football and basketball teams commit an inordinate percentage of campus sexual assaults, and hardly reflect proportional representation, while completely ignoring disparate impact?
Georgetown basketball and Missouri football refuse entirely to insist on racially diverse teams, and minority outreach and mentoring (Asian centers, Latino forwards, gay quarterbacks, female placekickers, etc.). Adults who want to change the world are not children who watch football on Saturdays and say nothing about the unapologetic sexism and racism on the field.
Meanwhile Purdue is experimenting with student loans based on a fixed percentage of post-graduation income.
A teacher that can be intimidated by a know-nothing fifth grader simply lacks the self-confidence in her own knowledge and experience to be an effective teacher and should not be allowed to be in charge of young people. (thanks to JTT)

A public school forcing children to recite the Lord's Prayer or write proselytizing sermons for Mormon missionaries would be condemned for violating the "separation of church and state". But in the minds of the Leftist who have a stranglehold on public educations, making students recite the Shahada isn't a violation of "separation of church and state" because the Constitution doesn't say anything about the "separation of mosque and state." Such logic probably explains why not only are children being forced to recite the Shahada, but to sing the praise of Islam... and apparently also terrorism.

See, Austin has a neat little system of trapping white kids in minority majority schools. In our case my son was bused across two highways to get to a school that was 80% illegal immigrants living in roach apartments and 20% poor suckers who got bused in. I didn't realize the situation when we moved in because the test scores were good. Anyway, in Austin you can't transfer to another school in the district if you are an ethnic minority at your home campus going to a campus where you would be an ethnic majority.
So if you're a white kid at a 98% hispanic school, as my son was, you're SOL. If you're an autistic white kid at that school, you'll spend your days waltzing the halls with a VP while the rest of your class learns English.
Anyway, he lasted a semester and then I pulled him the hell out and then we moved far, far away to the land of the sane.

Just want to underscore the point here that the ridiculous double nickel, which was signed in to law during a Republican administration, was repealed during the Clinton administration, after THREE SUCCESSIVE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL TERMS had gone by in the leadup to Clinton without a whisper of repeal.
Including two straight terms of the "Reagan Revolution" which had ostensibly meant to be all about dismantling intrusive big government.
And the Republican Party establishment now wonder why it is that actual conservatives find it impossible to take them seriously. They can blow it out their asses. At 55 MPH.

Broke Obummer's idea of a "well hung man" is more likely to be found at a Chicago bath house, than the result of a battlefield tribunal.
Pity that the previous administration failed to administer due, fitting and timely justice, back when it was called for.
That started a very bad trend, as manifested by the likes of Bleaujob Bergdahl's being swapped for five muzzie goatfcukers.
A few adroitly employed firing squads or gallows would go far towards focusing certain soldiers as to the facts of their world.

I wouldn't go that high in a rating. They didn't have enough great tunes to get the tag, but this is subjective. They had a wonderful sound, though. I will give them this... they were memorable and the few great tunes were impressive enough to be included in a personal "soundtrack of the 70's". I appreciate them more now, than I did then.

Multiple responses: "But that's in AUSTIN."
Just pointing out that it's not just in Austin.
It wasn't in Austin where the mayor considered it within the scope of her authority to be formally demanding the texts of pastors' sermons to scrutinize them for politically incorrect content and subject them to prior restraint on speech. (Houston).
It wasn't in Austin where the city council decreed that you couldn't hold municipal employment or contract business with the city without signing on 100% to the entirety of the gay agenda. (San Antonio.)
It wasn't in Austin that the mayor said that he was more worried about armed white men than he was worried about Islamic jihadi terror. (Dallas.)

The follow up novels were better:
Sense and Sensability and Seamonsters
Android Karenina
The later one actually has a plot about androids that not only could stand alone as a story, but is better than the original novel.

Yes, but Texas is much bigger. Over 100k sq miles bigger. You could tack on Nevada, Utah, and half of Arizona onto California, and if you did you'd probably end up with a red state.

I still hear the latter, but the lyrics are always quoted as the former.
There are some funny misheard lyrics, like in CCR's "Bad Moon Rising", where the line "There's a bad Moon on the rise" is misheard as "There's a bathroom on the right."

Sorry, but you don't get it. Square mileage is irrelevant. Probably 90+% of California - by area - is conservative. SF and LA (and to a lesser extent SD) dominate the voting. An electoral map of CA shows several blue (i.e., Red) cancers in a sea of red (i.e., anti-Red) counties. But that's enough.
I suspect a similar pattern holds in IL, WA, and NY. The cities are enough to swing the politics of the state (especially with a little voter fraud thrown in).

They're making huge strategic errors by pushing all the SJW nonsense in their minority majority strongholds like the "penises in the girls' locker room" bill out in Houston.
They don't understand Texas, and what's more they don't want to. They're like the WaPo idiots trying to psychoanalyze Trump's supporters.
Their path to victory is to get more Strausites to run as nominal Republicans who then push all the liberal crap once safely in office.

I certainly hope you're right, for all our sakes (since Texas is probably the last redoubt) but I suspect that at some point the hard left will push out the pansies and take off the gloves.
Consider how Obongo won the Democrat nomination: IIRC, he lost every primary election, but won every caucus[/i\]. The Reds had buses of Obongo supporters ready to pack every caucus, because a few dozen activists was more than enough to swing the vote. Then off to another caucus ...
That's how Reds operate. Read Ron Radosh's "Red Star Over Hollywood" for a graphic description of how the Party packed meetings with apparently unacquainted people who were all acting in concert to push a Red agenda. I saw the same thing - over and over again - in my time in the University of California.
That's the organizational skill and discipline we're up against. Logistical problems with phones and signs are an amateurs' mistakes. The hard left are not amateurs. They're highly organized, highly disciplined, and utterly committed to seizing power. Unfortunately, once they have power, all of that competence evaporates, and they look like Laurel and Hardy trying to paint out of the same bucket.

One of their tactics is to make meetings interminably long, so that eventually the moderates and middle-of-the-roaders get tired and leave, then the hardcore types pass their resolutions.

Overwhelmingly Democrat Congress enacted it, Republican Congress repealed it. Mostly Democrat Congresses (2 years Senate R) in between. Those were the folks you had to convince first.

Yep, that's another technique. For those who aren't familiar with them, Reds will argue incessantly, indefatigably, over the most trivial doctrinal points (think Judean People's Liberation Front vs. People's Liberation Front of Judea). And that's just between themselves. They use that trait against normal people to wear them down with long, boring "angels on a pinhead" type Marxist analyses.

Finally made it to my daughters place outside Detroit. Thought it would be fun to leave right from work last night and see how much sooner I got there than usual.
After a day of rain, clouds, and basically doing everything ass backwards from the way I usually do, I think I ended up getting here about a half hour earlier than usual. No way was it worth it. Never again.
Also, I think my days of driving 19 hours straight through by myself have finally come to a close.

They also will pack a random party meeting and then push for the election of new officers.
Years ago it happened here. A bunch of the far leftists showed up at Dem meeting that was concerning some minor issues. They demanded a vote on new officers, and the local officers said it wasn't on the agenda, so no. They then started holding an election and surprise, they won. State party said no you didn't, there was no election on the agenda, so no election.
These are the types that think just by demonstrating that they get to have things their way.

Similar thing happened in Texas when the Hillary delegates were down at the convention trying to get the Texas 2 Step overturned. Basically, there was the primary and then people who voted in the primary could come back later that night for a caucus. It was stupid, but gave Obama a win in Texas.
Anyway...when they were going to vote on the 2 step there was a mysterious "fire drill" and they cleared the building. When they came back, the measure was predictably tabled.

I've always noticed a change of around 3-5 psi from summer to winter and vice versa, whether that's standard or just because i have shitty tires i have no idea.
Posted by: All Teh Meh at December 01, 2015 01:26 AM (VviqM)
But, that means you should probably drive slower, which is a good idea anyway if you drive in winter conditions.

Liberals think they can use minorities as props to "prove" to themselves and their friends how open minded and unbigoted they are, and are shocked when minorities see through this and resent them for it.
Similar to how liberals want gay or transgendered kids so as to get street cred amongst themselves.
I've wondered if this is why people like DiBlasio goon Rachel Noerdlinger grow up hating whites, despite being adopted by them.
It's a self serving gesture motivated by real racism and condescension on the part of the liberal.

In 2008, there was a real question as to who actually had the most delegates to the Democrat convention. Hillary had gotten most of the "super Delegate" support, and won all of the primaries while Obama won the caucuses. Once the media tagged Obama as the frontrunner, that was it for Hillary because there was no way the Super Delegates would vote for the white candidate and piss off the black bloc that was very needed to win.

3-5psi variation between winter and summer is about normal. Always check tire pressure cold. What seems normal when hot after running may be below normal when cold.

Probably, but it is easier to just measure it, no? In point of fact, the change in pressure can be calculated pretty closely.
In practice, however, driving conditions will have an effect. Higher speeds = higher tire temperature = higher pressure. It is also true that higher inflation pressure will make for lower operating temperature, because less flexure.

The Old Man was a Math guy. He'd tell you that you were a fucking idiot to Speed on trips around town. You were literally risking alot by gaining nothing. (Loves Playing Craps, just like I do)
But on a long Road Trip? You milk whatever speed you can, Son. On a 10 hour road trip from Dallas to New Orleans (We did that one alot) if you average 10 more MPH that chops an entire Hour off the trip (He lost all of that on stops due to us kids needing to take a whiz, but I recognized his game).
I took all that shit to heart, and years and years later I did Austin to MPLS in 16 hours flat. I stopped 3 times for piss and gas. Averaged 79 MPH with the car on and 73 MPH when you accounted for stops. I'll never make that run again because I fucking hate car trips.

well, yeah it is easier to measure. I was generally curious as to whether anyone had a rule of thumb. curious as well as to when everyone thinks it is best to inflate tires? is inflating when it is cool better than when it is warm? if you inflate in the cool am your tires will be overpressure in heat of day, if in heat of day then cool in evening. as noted, driving affects pressure as well. I am assuming manufacturers have factored all this in.
Fond a "rule of thumb" which says your pressure will change 2% for every 10F degrees.

A draft order now being considered says federal agencies "shall ... gradually increase the rate of basic pay of all SES employees" to ensure they are not paid less than subordinates. Potential SES candidates would be allowed to apply using resumes instead of requirements placing "undue burden on applicants" such as multiple essay-style narratives. Rotational assignments for senior leaders would increase, permitting them to serve in other federal agencies, with local, state and tribal governments, and in certain outside organizations "to improve talent development, mission delivery and collaboration."
Behind the scenes a new subcommittee of the President's Management Council would monitor implementation of the order, keep management practices current and identify obstacles to effective government management.
Increasing compensation is the first recommendation in the draft order and a top priority for the Senior Executives Association (SEA), which represents senior leaders. It has long complained about a system that can result in lower level employees with greater pay than executives who have more responsibility and stress.

Just think of RT/n as a contant, and temperature measured from absolute zero.
460 deg. Rankine is 0 deg F, with the degrees being the same for both. So, for example if the temperature is a difference between 72 deg F and freezing, it is a 40 deg Rankine difference, which would lead to an 8% decrease in temperature in absolute terms, and thus an 8% decrease in pressure.

That is what the ideal gas law works out to when using degrees F (or degrees Rankine), and consistant with the quick back-of-the-envelope calcualtion I did in comment 394.
So 2% per 10 deg F isn't a rule of thumb it is the (ideal gas) law.

Of course, when one considers how poorly most people drive, confining them on trains seems a useful first step. Not that bad driving is necessarily a capital offense.
All these knife attacks painfully remind me of the episode I experienced whilst knocking about in the mall in downtown Bethlehem. I am physically intimidating, but gray-haired. So, two teens made like they were going to slash me up, without showing knives, when we met at a corner in the downtown Bethlehem mall in 2009. No knives: I did not respond.
Ironically, moments later a 2-man team of the P.A. gendermerie came around the same corner with their Ak-47s at low arms.
Would've been tricky for me.
Months later, terrorists slashed two female hikers not far from Bethlehem.

What if the US (which is nearly self-supporting in hydrocarbons these days) and Russia (which exports hydrocarbons) decided that the MidEast had been a PITA for too long.....and decided that Islam could be "solved" with clean "colonial" hands if the Sunnis nuked the Shiites and the Shiites nuked the Sunnis -- and have been working toward this for about a decade?

In fact, conservatism as practiced by most of the GOP is simply a con.
Actual conservative governance is non-existent for the most part.
The world we inhabit has been put in place and designed by the democrat party over the many decades they have held power and even when they don't hold power.
Just look at the fact that the GOP has majorities in both the house and senate that they haven't had in 80 years and they are completely powerless to stop anything the President or the DEmocrats want to do.
Harry Reid has said the recent refugee bill passed in the house will not even be allowed to be voted on.
How can a minority leader prevent the majority leader from bringing any bill he wants to the floor for an up or down vote?

When the GOP was blocking judicial appointments the DONKS simply nuked the filabuster.
One party is serious about advancing its agenda and implementing its form of governance one party is a con party.
The GOP is simply not a serious political party, they are the political equivalent of the Washington generals.

Not that I disagree with the general sentiment, please understand: we're all sick of the RINOs, the sell-outs, the two-faced DIABLOs. And it's not that I have a problem with folks having their morning snark lines, like "What fresh hell," "We have no party," etc.
It's just that, the brush just seems too broad. At least where I'm living, there's good GOP folks. Not perfect. Just not RINOs. As far as that goes, I'm a registered Republican, so you're attacking me & many good folks who aren't deserving of the hate.
I ain't the boss of you, nor trying to be the blog nanny. But, may I suggest being more specific, hate on the RNC, GOPe at least, or some other approach that doesn't daily obscenely condemn everybody GOP.

And why do you suppose they are silent? Why are pro-immigrant groups, the Rotherham council (almost all women), etc. silent?
Because liberal women subconsciously fantasize about being subjugated by men.
The reason they are so cranky and angry is that western men have let them down by treating them as human beings.

No, "mindful webworker," you are most likely not the Only One. There are times when this place suffers outbreaks of thin skin.
Of course by extension, you should be expressing your disdain for others as well, who start their posting days with well-known phrases ("The President is a SCOAMF," for example). Why discriminate?
That you are a Republican doesn't interest me. Some people are; it's like the Heartbreak of Psoriasis: there are cures.
As one who has been ragged on a bit for views that are, perhaps, outside the norm at times, and has offended others of Tender Sensibilities, I can only suggest to you that you lighten up and enjoy the show.

Illegals get car insurance? That's a new one on me!
Back when I lived in CA, I was part of two accidents caused by illegals wandering the roads in their rusty rides, and in neither case did said non-English-speaking persons have anything like insurance. Or, in at least one case, even a Mexican driver's license. And that's not an uncommon story out there.
I expect Choom Boy to set up some kind of Free Insurance program for his law-busting BFFs, at least enough to let 'em get their worn-out coches repaired and back on the road after accidents.

The maintenance deal involves hundreds of millions of dollars and will go into force on January 1, 2016. It will make sure that at any given point in time, the IAF will have a set number of working engines at its disposal, for the jet fighters. Pratt & Whitney will be fully responsible for the maintenance, including logistics forecasting, management, upgrades and supply of spare parts.

Shachar Rabinovitz, a horse enthusiast, sent out an e-mail to Dr. Marsha Levine, the Cambridge educated professor and researcher who is an expert on the history of the domestication of horses, asking for assistance on an assignment relevant to Levine's field.
Rabinovitz led her e-mail with, "I'm from Israel," before explaining the nature of her queries.
"I'm doing an assessment for school about horses, and it will be great if you can answer a few questions that I will ask," wrote the girl.
Yet instead of receiving answers to her questions, Rabinovitz was faced with criticism over the plight of Palestinians in Israel.
"I'll answer your questions when there is peace and justice for Palestinians in Palestine," the professor wrote.
Levine explained that she is a member of the organization Jews for Justice for Palestinians, and a supporter of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.
"You might be a child, but if you are old enough to write to me, you are old enough to learn about Israeli history and how it has impacted on the lives of Palestinian people," Levine told the girl.
Rather than provide Rabinovitz with information on horses, the Cambridge professor provided the girl with a link to the pro-Palestinian organization's website, urging the girl to educate herself on the history of the Palestinian people.

Okay. I'll try to keep my translator microbes active to 11 and agree with the sentiment, whatever the phrasing.
Decades ago, the OK GOP was much like the national party today. Not interested in winning or influencing, just raking in the bucks the #2 party gets.
When my dad was made chairman of the state party, he had a big hand in turning things around, and getting the first Republican governor since statehood elected. The party has been fer realz ever since. I was young, but I remember him telling me how he had to buck the Establishment to accomplish that.
The GOP may be beyond salvation, as some here think, but its reformation is all I've got for now, unless some viable 3rd party comes along. So we here in the heart of America keep voting in good folks, or trying to, despite their lack of power in D.C. and the RINO factions locally.
So, that's where I'm coming from, FTR.

From our friends at WRAL...
>When a bill that would allow immigrants in
the United States illegally to obtain limited driving privileges
cleared the House Finance Committee Tuesday morning, Gregorio Morales
and Carmen Rodriguez were among the folks sitting in the back of the
room smiling.
Morales,
who is originally from Mexico, has lived in the United States for 17
years seven of those in North Carolina and would be one of the
people lining up for the new identity cards if House Bill 328 becomes
law.
I
am a small-business owner. I have a landscape company," Morales said
shortly after the vote. He and his five employees would all benefit from
the bill, he said.
When you're driving without a license, you always feel fear, he said.
Rodriguez
said she routinely drives without a license and without insurance to
get her three children to school and herself to a job.
I drive with fear. My kids are scared of police officers, Rodriguez said through an interpreter.<So many things wrong here^^^^Lawmakers rationale was that was the only way amigos would consider getting insurance.
Now, I'm sure our friends from the south go to the General, get a month's worth of insurance obtain their license and then make no more payments.
We're screwed.
