Overnight Open Thread (9 Jan 2016)
The Power Grid
Granted, this happened in the Ukraine, but I bet if one of our adversaries really wanted to right now, they could wreak havoc on not only our power grids, but anything else connected to the internet.BlackEnergy infects computers thanks to a simple trick. The Ukrainian company CyS Centrum described it in a recent blog post. People within targeted companies received an e-mail purportedly containing a presidential decree on military mobilization and Excel files containing lists of the company employees to be mobilized and exempted. Having opened one of the files, the user is prompted to turn on macros because "the file had been created with a newer version of Microsoft Office." Once that's done, so is the damage. Everyone who has ears and a computer has been told hundreds of times not to open mail attachments that arrive without prior warning, even from reliable senders. And yet people all over the world still do it.WTF? EPA reimbursed employee who took cross-country road trip to attend conference. Now I've done many official business trips and this reeks. Not only should this dude be fired, but so should every supervisor that signed off on this travel request. Plus, it's another example of those that freak out over global warming not exactly acting like it's a crisis. He probably could of telecommuted for this conference.
The carbon footprint of the individual's road trip amounts to 2,669.6 pounds of CO2, or the equivalent of killing three trees, according to American Forests' carbon calculator.Best Sound Evah
But when it comes to auto loans, in particular, a rising volume of loans is going to borrowers with poor credit. The sum in that category has nearly reached the same level as in 2006, raising questions about the health of the nation's auto-lending portfolio and drawing uncomfortable comparisons to the rise in subprime mortgages that helped fuel the housing collapse, financial crisis and recession.ID Issue Driver's licenses from 5 states no longer valid for domestic flights.

There was a couple the first church I served who won the lottery; I can't recall if it was 5 or 7 million because it happened before I got there. It made the woman more financially comfortable, but I don't think it made her happier. Her husband divorced her for a newer younger model. I don't even know if he married the new woman and she told me at some point, "I'm not sure now if people want to be my friend because of the money or other reasons.
One thing that always made me laugh to myself was that she put in the same amount of money to the collection-which was much less than some older people who hadn't won the lottery gave) When I gave her some suggestions of how she could help people with the money or help the church she didn't do anything. The church was having a spaghetti dinner as a fund raiser and she said, "I always think it means more when you have to work for the money. " It was on the tip of my tongue to say, "Yes; I'm sure it was a lot of work going down to the Wawa and plunking down four dollars for lottery tickets but I restrained myself.

Most of the initial depreciation was absorbed by the original buyer, the warranty is usually as good or better than the original factory warranty, the mechanical checklist is not fanciful B.S., but is actually a detailed check with factory accountability.
But yeah, new vehicle prices are so damn high as to merit near-insanity as a purchasing qualifier.
Otherwise? Stay in the $10k to $25k used market, and pay a good mechanic for your own detailed inspection.
I'll not spend the price of a house on a truck though.

Spears are the only melee weapon you would want
encountering zombies. One short zulu spear for tight spaces, and another
long pillum for the zombie clearing maneuvers.
Berzekers with halberds would look cool but probably wouldn't last long.

Back in the days when the existence of the F-117 had become known but the jet itself had not yet been seen by the public, I went to an air show where the display line had one section cordoned off and guarded by stern-faced uniformed service personnel.
There was a sign reading "TOP SECRET STEALTH FIGHTER", and inside the cordon, there were "Remove Before Flight" pennants hanging in seemingly empty air from tiny barely visible monofilament.

Early years of the Disco are notoriou$ for breaking crankshafts.
I'm not sure that Rover ever got that problem entirely under control.
As far as towing with unibody vehicles, beware that it's possible, even common, to compromise the integrity of the unibody by pulling an excessively heavy load.
Gee whillickers, ever since we towed the boat up to the lake with this thing, the windows leak in the rain and the doors don't sound right when they shut. Wonder why?

The Sturmvogel was the ME 262, the first jet plane.
there were also a few other rocket designs, the most successful was the ME-163
there were also some other rocket planes.
The ME 163 was designed to be a quick launching plane that could reach the bomber formations and shoot them down without having to loiter around at altitude waiting for them to show up. When they worked they went up like an Estes rocket. When they didn't work they either caught on fire and exploded or spewed the rocket fuels, (high strength hydrogen peroxide and hydrazine) and all that could be expected to recover of the pilot were teeth and they synthetic fabric flight suit.
The Luftwaffe test pilots had a high fatality rate.

guess a lot of it depends on your situation. I'm northeast so there's little other than blizzards in the way of natural disasters. others are generally close by, so that's good for seeking aid or rescue, bad for hiding or evading.
a 3 day bag is best suited for being stranded somwhere like at work or a highway stop in a blizzard. its less a mobile thing, in other words.

That is because 80% H2O2 decomposes (see: gets boiling hot and explodes violently) when it reacts with a wide range of every-day substances from copper to permagnates.
It was liked by Penemunde folks and the Luftwaffe because when it decomposed it would do so at specific temperatures and pressures, based on the percentage of peroxide to inert liquid.
They used a peroxide motor for pumping and pressurizing the fuel system in the V2, for example.
In the ME 163 it was sprayed on a permanganate catalyzer to create the "cold" jet.

I had a conversation with a friend of mine who is a LIV. I did not know he was a LIV.
Some snippets:
"Well you know Obama grew up in Indonesia."
-Really? I thought he lived in Hawaii.
"Yes, when he got older. But he grew up in Indonesia with his stepfather. He was listed as Muslim at the school he was in."
-Really? What religion is he now?
"Well, he belongs to a black Christian church that hates whites. He can also recite the full islamic faith prayer in Arabic."
-He can? That's effed up.
"Yes. Yes it is."
This all started because I said Obama is more of a world citizen than a US citizen, and I could understand him wanting to be head of the U.N.

OV-10 Broncos had a compartment in the rear fuselage meant to be used for delivering or evacuating spec ops team members. I don't think it was ever done for real in combat.
It would have been a helluva ride. Especially taking off from an unimproved surface like a potholed dirt road. No belts or padding for the supercargo in the back.
I have seen film (never seen it in person) of Broncos dropping members of parachute demo teams out the back, at Stateside events.

Unfortunately, that's not the case. This jackpot could end up with 67 winners -- which would make the Expected value $900M/67/292M. There is also the little detail of the much-hyped annuity value of $900M v. the cash payout of substantially less.

From your computer to God's ear...
We were celebrating my hubby's birfday with his oldest friend, who I learned was a liberal. He started going on how if Trump won the presidency, he would trash the constitution. I responded with "What the hell do you think has been happening for the past seven years..." But hubby stomped on my foot and changed the subject. I think this may be the last time we have dinner with these folks. I won't be especially sorry, since his brother stole all the favors from my wedding (boxes of Godiva chocolates-I had ordered 50 of the large ones, since we only had 35 invited, and there were none left.) Because this guy's asshole brother stole them! He didn't tell us until a couple of years later, too.

Call me crazy but it seems to me too many coaches are hired for their likeability and coziness with team brass, not their actual leadership skills and knowledge of the games their teams play.

Donna, it's best to ICE an injury right after it happens, and only use the heating pad the day after. Played a lot of sports, and consequently had a lot of injuries, and so speak from experience.
Heating immediately after an injury promotes bleeding; icing retards bleeding, and minimizes the problem.

Well, most of the time. There has be a time or two (due to conflating factors like a pot rollover, I think) where the expected value of a lottery ticket would be slightly positive. But that's an anomaly, and most of the time, it's negative.

I seem to have a brain for strange crap vs important stuff (like, uh, algebra in high school). But, honey, I rapidly can learn facts when I need to. I was a walking Benghazi encyclopedia time line within a few days and educating the WaPost jackasses who three weeks later must have thought I was Nostradamus. ha. I learned it all from the UK press.
When all synapses are firing I can read something once and spew it back in rapid fire and great detail. Sadly those moments are rare (or, says husband, thankfully they are rare).

Perfect. Lots of people go out of their way to use a bag of peas.
Long term solution: strength training to prevent future injuries. Not talking about power lifting; just sets of deep knee bends - with good form, knees above ankles, and so butt out back rather than knees out front - will help in that regard.

But it's not always a sign or course. But anytime someone who is normal suddenly starts stinking and looking like a bum, it's a sign they may be "giving up".
But many of these idiot Hollywood types get in on all this New Age nonsense and start rejecting all the "chemicals" the Evil Corporations are poisoning us with and all that sort of crap. They thus reject deodorant and other stand hygiene.
I remember some damn fad about using little "rocks" for deodorant.

He'll be fine because he just demonstrated a skill that is possessed by maybe half a dozen or so humans on the planet. Even if he NEVER gets a starting job in the NFL, every team that is looking for a backup for the next decade or so is going to have him ahead of all the Blaine Gabberts and Brian Hoyers and Brandon Weedens, etc.

In addition to being one of the best punters in league, Hekker was, as is well-known, a QB in high school. And with Fisher's fondness for trickery, it is often the case that on second downs the Rams best play IS to punt the ball.

My grand aunt on my mother's side had Alzheimers and believe me, I don't think she ever used deodorant. Honest Ivory soap and water was quite enough as far as she was concerned. Genes cause Alzheimers.
I wouldn't give up my deodorant either, but I have a book called "Your Body and You" published in 1947 and aimed at high schoolers. I picked it up at a rummage sale years ago and it's fascinating reading. It urged teens to bathe at least 3 times a week, while recognizing that might seem extravagant to some. It recommended that girls wash their hair once a week (but not the night before a big event). Washing it more often was discouraged as it would result in frizzy dry hair. ( shampoos were probably harsher in those days.) Deodorant was for" those who perspire especially heavily."
It would be interesting to know exactly when daily shower and deodorant use became universally accepted as the personal hygiene standard by Americans. It clearly was after the late 40's.

That said, I'm quite amazed that this person was completely unaware of her attackers approach even though it's dark out and the location seems quite bare of traffic or people.
He's just about to slash her and she has yet to even turn to see who it is that has approached her so closely and, I'm guessing from the pic, moving quite rapidly.
When walking alone or really, any time, always have your head on a swivel. You should know where any and all other pedestrians and even car traffic are, the direction they're headed and their speed. If possible determine their demeanor. (are they staring intently at you, do they turn away when you look at them, hands in pockets, hunched over, bouncing on their toes etc.)
No car or person should get within your "safe" zone without you being aware of them.
Sometimes, merely appearing aware of your surrounding can be enough to lessen the likelihood of an attack.
Women in particular should have a heightened awareness and have some object or means of defense in their coat pocket and their hand(s) on it.
This is just common sense.

And as my dad could have told you, on a Depression era farm when the water still had to be hauled in from the well in buckets and heated on the stove, baths were a luxury reserved for Saturday night, so you'd be clean for church. It didn't make sense to take all that trouble to bathe daily when you were just going to go out and get dirty in the field anyway. I'm guessing that many Americans kept up the rural habits they had grown up with even when they were no longer rural.
After all, if everyone smells, nobody does

So, a bath was a luxury - an expensive, laborious luxury.
Folks would wash their hands and necks, and, well, other bits, quite regularly, as small quantities of hot water weren't such a big deal to get. But a full-on bath....that was a chore.
(And, yeah, people stunk.)

It's worse than that -- there have been instances found where human hormones and secretions turn-on-and-off bacterial DNA....and bacterial secretions turn-on-and-off portions of human DNA. In other mammals (e.g. Dolly the Sheep), it has been noted that clones are not coming out exactly identical to the source, despite having 100% mammal DNA in common.
So it seems quite plausible that humans are like Linux distros: there can be a few flavors of the kernel -- human DNA -- but there can be a zillion options in the utilities and packaged functions.....which can either be carried in human DNA or symbiotic DNA. It may not be possible to be a fully functional human without certain gut bacteria. It may not be possible to produce "exact copy" clones unless you transplant symbiotic bacteria into the artificial wombs.
And considering that we know such things as adult lactose tolerance are on the human side (and bacterial work-arounds are inefficient and messy), it starts throwing into question basic questions of how we work at a basic level.

I'm really tempted to work out the odds of it being rigged. They, themselves, say the odds of a jackpot are 1 in 292,201,338.00 -- so I'd have to find the formula for ticket sales v. jackpot amounts to figure out the number of tickets.
If it ever got to six sigma being rigged, I can't see where anyone would play.....then, again, climate change is six sigma off the models -- and their promoters don't slink off to shoot themselves in shame.

I think the point was that boogers are composed of dried mucus combined with airborne contaminants, which of course includes all sorts of nasty germs which the mucus in our nose evolved specifically to filter out. So, a germ gets expelled by an infected person, floats around in the air, gets inhaled by you, but your nasal mucus catches the germ in it sticky grip before it can reach the lungs, and then the mucus binds up the germ, where it hopefully dies once the mucus dries up and entombs the germ. We call that dried up mucus germ-sarcophagous a "booger." But if we then eat that booger, the dead germ -- just as in an inoculation -- gets into our system, where it triggers the white blood cells to be on the lookout for the particular configuration, so that later when a live similar germ makes it successfully into your system, your body will be ready to pounce on it and kill it before it blossoms into a significant infection.
Or so he claimed.
Not sure if post nasal drip has the same effect. Maybe that's for the next study.
So, eat those boogers, folks. They're good for you!

For example suppose you and partner bet on a coin toss. You put some money in a pot, and the winner takes the pot. You do that long enough and you'll win and as much as you lose and break even.
Such a thing is known as a "fair game". That's a statistical thing, of course, the law of large numbers. But gambling is always a zero sum game. No money/wealth is created. The total money comes out as goes in, it just gets redistributed.
In order to be profitable, a gambling operation has to rig the odds in favor of the house, such that the house has a positive expectation value. Being a zero sum game, that means the other players now have a negative expectation value.
Every house game is thus rigged like this in some fashion. So on average, every day, the house always gets a little bit of the pot. The players, as a whole in sum, have less money at the end that when they started, although it gets redistributed amongst them.
The question is how much do you rig it. Well, the state lotteries are rigged more than any gambling house ever would try, and even more than organized crime, the mob, ever pulled with their own lotteries, the "numbers racket".
As an aside, some gambling games do involve skill, such as poker. A good player, by taking advantage of those with less skill, can manage a positive expectation.
Gambling houses take advantage of this a well. One of the nearest to even, zero expectation, is Blackjack. However, to get this, you've got to know the odds. Many players don't (have their own "system") which is actually worse, and the effective house advantage is increased.

Dick and Jane are married for years - empty nesters, I guess.
Jane has a cat. We'll call her Spot
One day Spot shits where she shouldn't have. Jane isn't around. Dick packs Spot into the cat carrier, drives down the road, and leaves Spot on the side of the road.
Is that animal abuse? Would it qualify as such under most state laws?

In Illinois it would. Don't know about other states.

Tim, I'm thinking so too. In Va, animal abuse is a felony, so Dick might be in big trouble if Spot doesn't find her way home very soon...

Hypothetical scenario:
Dick and Jane are married for years - empty nesters, I guess.
Jane has a cat. We'll call her Spot
One day Spot shits where she shouldn't have. Jane isn't around. Dick
packs Spot into the cat carrier, drives down the road, and leaves Spot
on the side of the road.
Is that animal abuse? Would it qualify as such under most state laws?
Posted by: Chi at January 10, 2016 03:00 AM (gQfxF)
There are degrees of abuse.
If the cat were abandoned beside the road in the cat-carrier this would be tantamount to intentionally starving the cat to death / dehydrating the cat. I should certainly hope that this would be abuse under the law and legally impermissable.
If the cat were an indoor cat left beside the road, this would be tantamount to feeding the cat alive to wild animals (especially if declawed) and should be abuse under the law. If the cat were an outdoor cat, and we're not talking the middle of the desert, I could see this as less of an animal abuse issue.
But then you get into human abuse. Kidnapping someone's pet and abandoning it would certainly qualify as mental cruelty -- whether it was actually a crime would vary jurisdiction by jurisdiction.

One of the biggest problems I have living out in the sticks is gathering up the abandoned puppehs around here. We have enough Dogs so they have to go to the Shelter. Kittehs usually just go out to the Barns.

Did you find them in the middle of winter? Ferrets are bright, nearly wild, and game in their size-range abounds near humans -- I'm somewhat surprised they weren't coping better. That said, abandoning a companion animal -- a dependent -- is vile.

As I'm sure you have surmised, this scenario played out today & yesterday. Actually, over a month...
This app, "Nextdoor" is what I imagine Facebook is like, only a little local version for a 10 mile radius from my front porch.
Anyway, some lady started a month ago with "my cat is missing! Halp!" And testerday, basically posted "Dick packed up Spot & left her on the side of xyz road."
A ouple cat ladies have chimed in, and may or may not call authorities.

But on this stupid app/message board, some old cat lady posted PUBLICLY that her husband did somethig that I would consider worthy of jailtime. Or an ass-whipping. Or both.
Anyway, Jane uses her full (real) name, and this "neighborhood" app is connected to Google maps, so anyone can click her name/picture and get a map straight to her house. Cops certainly could ...

I'm a sucker for 'em. And I think they know it. The latest cat, poor thing, was an orange tabby. He was a pet, "fixed". Poor thing would not have survived too long. He wasn't completely helpless, like some indoor and declawed (ugghh) thing, but he didn't have much cat "street smarts" at all.
He was scared but so tame, all I had to do was sit there out in the shop outside of which I first noticed, and start talking to him, with my kittie voice that I don't like to admit I have. He circled around me two or three times, then came up and head bumped me from behind on the side. A minute later, he was in my lap purring.
And of course he owned me then. :sigh: Other cats weren't too happy, what a two-timing whoremonger I am, I guess they thought, but they get over it.

While there are some bright lines in the real world, you haven't provided data to support them -- "abandoning" an outdoor cat in good weather <5 miles from "home" is really just harassment. Abandoning a declawed indoor kitty 30 miles from home in an alligator-infested swamp is obscene -- and is just the sort of "warm-up" behavior I'd expect from our next Dahmer.
