Overnight Open Thread (12-17-2015)
"Before Snowden we had a definite bias for action," explained a senior NSA official with extensive experience in counterterrorism. "But now we all wonder how the White House will react if this winds up in the newspapers." "It's all legal," the official added, "the lawyers have approved, and boy do we have lots of lawyers - but will Obama throw us under the bus again?"

How Evil Are You - Take the Quiz
This quiz from the BBC supposedly measures Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy which are known as the 'dark triad' and associated with, well evil apparently.
Here's my result:
And yeah the Machiavellian thing - it's a fair cop. Although I consider myself an ethical Machiavellian since when I use manipulation it's usually for moral good. But even back in high school my M.O. was always to get other more suggestible people to do the things I thought would be useful/amusing but which might have unfortunate negative legal or administrative consequences for yours truly. Which is one of the reasons why I've never been arrested or even detained and have no police record at all - yet have also never felt deprived of the exquisitely delicious thrill of Getting Away With It either.
Moe Lane: The Long Shadow of D&D's Alignment System
I was just thinking about D&D alignment out of the blue this past weekend and was considering how good of a model it is for explaining behavior in domestic and international politics. Of course the mature adult version of me thinks about the categories - lawful vs chaotic, good vs evil vs neutral - quite differently (and with more first hand experience) than the middle school version that first considered them while creating a character.
To sum up the D&D alignment system succinctly, it's as follows: you're either Good, Evil, or Neutral. And you're either Lawful, Chaotic, or ...Neutral. That gives you one of nine possible alignments (Neutral-Neutral is called True Neutral) to have, which will have an effect on what spells you can cast, what spells can be cast on you, what spells will detect you, and so on. It's a remarkably fraught system when you think about the implications; after all, having one's moral quality be fully quantifiable can have any number of implications, starting with the fairly basic one that if something is inherently Evil then you can kill it without any kind of remorse.
...Still, some game companies try to work at giving players a range of alignment options. To give some examples... Bioware likes to go with a "Queen of the Girl Scouts" / "Ruthless Bugger" model whenever possible; Bethesda enjoys making you have to choose which faction you'll have to inexplicably permanently tick off in order to finish the game; and Projekt Red seems to do its best work riffing off of the relatively less used "Law vs. Chaos" axis instead of the "Good v. Evil" one. Of course, the disadvantage in all of this is that it seems that, the more you move away from a "we're Good and they're Evil" model, the less you get in the way of player options. Or, to put it in a nicer fashion: the more you get what's called a "story-based game." ...I understand that this resulting lack of choice seems paradoxical, given that people have reacted to D&D's alignment system as being somewhat restrictive. And it is somewhat restrictive. But as somebody once pointed out, so are the rules for creating a sonnet. Perhaps that's what computer RPGs should explore in the future: less moral ambiguity, not more.
One of Trump's Rhetorical Tactics Has a Name
And a long classical pedigree.
Praeteritio is the act of saying something by saying that you're not going to say it. Like, for instance, when Trump calls Rubio a lightweight by saying "I'm not going to call him a lightweight, because I think that's a derogatory term." It's a rhetorical device as old as political rhetoric itself, once proudly wielded by Cicero, who often "refused to mention" the various crimes committed by Catiline and his supporters.
As with Cicero, Trump uses praeteritio to insult his opponents while also suggesting he's the kind of guy who's above insulting his opponents. It's a neat trick.

So the Tri Delts at the University of Kansas were selling candy to raise money for children with cancer when a #BLM group, "Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk", started their protest. And - check this my brothers - those elitist microagressing bitchez declined to get right with the Revolution and just kept right on selling their dirty capitalist cancer candy canes while oppression stared them right in their selfish ignorant smiling little faces.

32,000 Year Old Seed Brings Plant Back to Life
A few years ago a date palm was grown from a 2000 year old seed found at Masada but this one is from an entirely different geologic epoch.
A Russian team discovered a seed cache of Silene stenophylla, a flowering plant native to Siberia, that had been buried by an Ice Age squirrel near the banks of the Kolyma River (map). Radiocarbon dating confirmed that the seeds were 32,000 years old.
The mature and immature seeds, which had been entirely encased in ice, were unearthed from 124 feet (38 meters) below the permafrost, surrounded by layers that included mammoth, bison, and woolly rhinoceros bones.

My regular shooting-buddy is thinking about becoming a citizen next year -- he's from an Anglosphere country, but he'd kind-of like to know how things work in the US. He understands the difference between the way things are designed to work and how they really do, so that's a start.
He caught me somewhat by surprise at an awkward time, and I could immediately think of nothing better than reading the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. Neither one is that long or that obscure, and there can be no question that the Founders meant to say otherwise.
I have to confess to having "heard of" more than "read" the Federalist Papers, but have a sense that they might also be helpful -- as would a High School Civics textbook from the late 50's or early 60's.
So, here's the bleg......what can I recommend to my friend to learn about the structure of American government, both in theory and in practice?
I'm going to repeat this in the earlier part of a subsequent ONT or two.

Possibly a good suggestion -- I just sent him an email full of links to Weirddave's Fundamental Concepts. They're not exactly on point, but are pretty good on mood. Do you have specific Schoolhouse Rock links to offer?
I don't want to drop real identifying information on him, but we met in a firearms safety class, which tends to put a 2A spin on our conversations. He's thinking of going for the real deal next year, though, and I want him to know and understand everything about this "USA" club he's joining.

Good evening, good people.
For those who are under the influence of gloom and doom regarding our beloved land, let me say this to you.
Our bedrock is solid as ever.
That bedrock is threefold.
It is The Declaration of Independence--the WHY.
The Bill of Rights--that which is inalienable.
And the Constitution--the blueprint.
That triad has allowed us to flourish to the extent of becoming the most exceptional country AND people yet seen on the planet.
We face a challenge today that MUST be met,by each and every one of us who hold to the precepts we were founded on. It is our duty.
I believe without doubt we will prevail in this, because we are AMERICANS, and as such are denied the option of failure.
Thus you may NEVER quit.

32,000 years ago, the ground in Siberia was not permanently frozen, and that cute and cuddly little squirrel we all know and love from the cartoon was able to bury those date palm seeds.
Now the ground in Siberia is permanently frozen.
What does that tell you?
Plate tectonics of course. Siberia used to be closer to the equator. See?

3. Attend a local city council meeting a few times. Go and introduce oneself to the members. Talk to them before or after.
Follow ordinances as the wind their way through the body.
Likewise, if he/she lives near the state capitol, do the same, particularly introducing oneself and talking to the state reps.

It was remarkable that the Republican presidential candidates' debate this week, supposedly focused on keeping Americans safe, was devoid of questions and comments about the public health issue of gun violence.
Instead, the nine Republican rivals spent much of their time dwelling darkly on potential threats from Islamic State terrorists. And when they brought up the mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., this month, carried out by a couple found to be inspired by Islamic State violence, the discussion never veered to the easy gun access that enabled those killers -- and many others -- to commit swift and horrific slaughter of innocent people.

8:39 PM: There were some tense moments tonight at the Grove in Los Angeles as the Fire Department evacuated a theater was showing Star Wars: The Force Awakens. An LAFD spokesman tells Deadline that firefighters in multiple trucks responded to an alarm at about 8:10 PM and cleared the theater. They soon determined that it was a false alarm someone apparently pulled a fire alarm and was there was no danger to the public. The trucks have left the scene.
8:50 PM: According to social media reports, moviegoers who were evacuated from Pacific Theatres at the Grove were allowed back in, and theater officials started the film over.

Remember the friend I mentioned a few weeks back, who had to check into the hospital and basically just kick back and *wait* for a new heart to come in for his transplant? His name is Michael Belanger. Well anyway, his heart came in tonight and according to his FB feed, he went into surgery an hour ago.
So of course I will be praying, and of course any prayers and good wishes the Horde can send along are also quite welcome. This is also a guy who is likely to be helping out a bit when it finally comes time to shoot the film I've been talking about, btw. Anyway, wanted to pass along the news.
I don't think heart transplants are considered rare at this point, but I'm not sure they're considered routine yet either.

Bernard Bailyn's "To Begin the World Anew" was a pretty good and easy history read.
And I second just about anything by P.J. O'Rourke.
And Thomas Sowell's Vision of the Anointed to see how the left wants it to work. Or Throw Them All Out to see how the establishment wants it to work. If you want him to actually come over, you might leave those two until after he's committed...

I saved some cats from a land lord who wanted to take them to the pound by knowing that after their owners murder they could not go in there but the roommate could until the rent was used up. Because they had been up to date on bills and paid first and last month's up front. In the end I got the white cat. That was one of the best cats ever and so I remembered what I did and immediately knew they did was wrong from that case...hope someone does jail time

It all happened 25 minutes away. Bunches of my Ren faire friends knew Kaufmann (I got to hear how wonderful he was and that sucked) And I an tell you for a fact from all the animal rescue I have dome that you can't go into a sealed apartment like those journalists did. I saved some cats from a land lord who wanted to take them to the pound by knowing that after their owners murder they could not go in there but the roommate could until the rent was used up. Because they had been up to date on bills and paid first and last month's up front. In the end I got the white cat. That was one of the best cats ever and so I remembered what I did and immediately knew they did was wrong from that case...hope someone does jail time

It runs under a totally lunar calendar. islamic dates travel throughout the year. Putting any intercalaries into the islamic calendar is a death penalty offense. No shit.

1) Learning a foreign language - you don't have to get to the fluency level, but just a basic level often shows the radically different thought processes imposed ont he speaker.
2) Reading about the culture (and its history) you're interested in. You don't have to go there to understand what they are about.

the one that's already been caught will be hard to catch again. It's been suggested that sardines might overcome that to me. I haven't tested that. But the little warm house might work if you put it in the hay barn. My feral momma Lu sleeps in the hay, in my barn and flirts with moving into the tackroom with my elderly barn cat. Leave a bunch of shake around the hay and they sleep tuck into that. But I use grass hay so thats a pretty snuggly bed if you're a wild kitty.

Yeah, you have to live in another country to approach being fluent in an active language and more importantly, having at least a minimal insight into a culture.
There is no amount of scanning that can replace interaction with actual, real, live human beings (AoSHQ aside).
2 ) Reading about the culture (and its history) you're interested in. You don't have to go there to understand what they are about.
Again, it's a substitution. Not the thing of actual experience.
3) Reading newspapers from the area you are interested in.

Posted by: cthulhu at December 17, 2015 11:22 PM (EzgxV)
You can sum the American governmental architecture up thusly (for theory):
The fundamental political entity is the individual. Parties do not exist in the Constitution. All positions in the federal government are individual positions filled by individuals.
The Executive branch of the federal government is permanent. It is not formed by the legislature and operates independently of the legislature, save the required checks and balances between them.
The legislature has no executive power.
All the three branches of the federal government are independent arms and operate under the constraints and responsibilities laid out in the Constitution.
have them read the Constitution to fill in the details.
That is all that's needed to explain the main (and important) differences between the American Constitutional architecture and the party-oriented parliamentary shit systems that just about every other nation in the world operates under.

I disagree. The structure of sentences and the use of idioms tells a ton about a culture. You don't have to be fluent. You just have to see how thoughts are organized differently than in English.
>>>2 ) Reading about the culture (and its history) you're interested in. You don't have to go there to understand what they are about.
Again, it's a substitution. Not the thing of actual experience.
It's a "peer". You can learn just as much through this reading, if not more. It depends on the reader.

Evidently you have a thing against books. You seem to think information gotten from them is totally worthless. Not much of a studier, huh?

My regular shooting-buddy is thinking about becoming a citizen next year -- he's from an Anglosphere country, but he'd kind-of like to know how things work in the US. He understands the difference between the way things are designed to work and how they really do, so that's a start.

I want you to think back to the first two-digit month of last year, and the first two-digit date therein that was bigger than its month. Then I want you to find a post by someone whose nic is an Animal House reference who often posts about pigskin. If you take the number of letters in my usual nic and nothing else, you can form a 2-digit number that is one more than a sex act -- and at that comment, in that post, you may find comfort.

Jeff Weaver, the Vermont senator's campaign manager, acknowledged that a low-level staffer had viewed the information but blamed a software vendor hired by the DNC for a glitch that allowed access. Weaver said one Sanders staffer was fired over the incident.
The discovery sparked alarm at the DNC, which promptly shut off the Sanders campaign's access to the strategically crucial list of likely Democratic voters.

That brings to mind a painting that shows up in e-mail jokes from time to time, usually entitled "Hero cat saves owner from fiery death." Done in Norman Rockwell style, guy asleep on sofa, wearing wifebeater and spotted boxer shorts. A cigarette has fallen from his hand, and the sofa is smoldering. Cat is between his legs, reaching up to bat at his balls, which are dangling out the leg of the boxer shorts. It's really a hoot.

The mods have an oversight of this behavior over time that we do not.
thus I trust the thin skinned one's judgment.

Those were the days of body design.
Now they all look alike and like bubble toys.
I remember seeing future glimpses of what the cars of today would look like back then and it's a hoot to see how accurate in some ways they are.
I thought they were nuts. Cars would never look that ugly and boring. Would they?

So.
Aluminum airplanes hit steel building, filling them with jet fuel and aluminum. Jet fuel causes aluminum to melt. Sprinkler system introduces lots of water to molten aluminum. Extremely violent reaction occurs, causing temperature spikes up to 4100C. Steel melts. Buildings fall.
Science. Eat it.

Agreed on both counts. As the old chief would say, only the government would believe that you can cut the bottom foot off of a blanket, sew it to the top, and have a longer blanket.

There's some pretty cool videos of it on Youtube. I'd recommend looking them up if you want some visual examples of what liquid aluminum gets up to in water.

Better relations with Russia ain't a bad thing. I, for one, won't cry if we don't get dragged kicking and screaming into WWIII by Turkey.

Years ago, I spent a week at a hotel in Milan. Great espresso. One morning a waiter in the restaurant found out I was from the U.S. and asked if I would like "American coffee" instead of the usual sludgy dark nectar. I thought; "why not?"
He poured a shot of espresso into a large cup and then filled it to the rim with hot water....
But they served the best prosciutto ever. Looked as if it had been cured on an asphalt parking lot, but delicious.

Really, we could all probably amuse ourselves in the early morning hours by instead of complaining what a lousy day it is, by instead- making on funny ways Obama could do a non traditional SOTU.

Better hurry up, before Obama shuts it down and gives it to Cuba.
On second thought, we could transfer all the GITMO prisoners to Sicily, and pay the local Organized Crime industry to house feed and discipline them.
