Overnight Open Thread (3-17-2016)
Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose. But fortunately I had my manuscript, so you see I was going to make a long speech, and there is a bullet - there is where the bullet went through - and it probably saved me from it going into my heart. The bullet is in me now, so that I cannot make a very long speech, but I will try my best.

For children, stuffed animals can be just as dangerous as the world's worst despots.
-- Norway's Bendik Romstad in an anti-dust campaign
On a night in September 1931 three men went for an after-dinner walk on the grounds of Magdalen College of Oxford University. One of them was Henry Victor Dyson, a scholar who hobnobbed with the literati of the period. The other two were obscure academics who shared Dyson's interest in Icelandic sagas and Anglo-Saxon and Germanic poetry. Neither of the two had published anything of note to date and both viewed themselves as likely destined to be literary failures. Their names were C.S. Lewis and J.R.R Tolkien.
As they walked back and forth over the campus they discussed the stories of the North, the power of mythology, Christianity as just myth, and whether there was a higher truth embedded in myths. And over the course of three hours Tolkien and Dyson used the latter argument to eventually convince the agnostic Lewis to return to Christianity.
By all accounts, the key moment came when Lewis declared that myths are lies, albeit "lies breathed through silver." Tolkien replied, "No, they are not," and demanded to know why Lewis could accept Icelandic sagas as vehicles of truth while demanding that the Gospels meet some higher standard. Hours past midnight, Tolkien finally went home to bed, leaving Dyson to carry on the campaign. Tolkien's argument - that the Resurrection was the truest of all stories, with God as its poet - may not sound particularly convincing to nonbelievers (nor indeed to some Christians), but to a man committed to the idea of myth as the only way to express higher truths, it was irresistible.
Inspired from this stroll Lewis and Tolkien became close friends, pursued their interests in poetry and mythology together, and entered some of the most intensely productive years of their lives. While writing various Christian-themed works Lewis encouraged Tolkien to put together the various stories created in his head as a hobby and share them with the public. Both were disappointed that there was so little fiction being written with ancient sagas and legends as inspirations and decided that they would then have to create some as best they could.
In 1937, on the eve of publication for "The Hobbit," the friends found themselves deploring the state of contemporary writing. "Tollers," Lewis said, "there is too little of that we really like in stories. I am afraid we shall have to try and write some ourselves."
Lewis soon published "Out of the Silent Planet" followed by many other books including The Chronicles of Narnia while Tolkien began writing out an epic story that would eventually become the Lord of the Rings series. Over 70 years after that evening stroll both men are still well-known authors whose books steadily sell year after year and even had big budget movies of their works playing nearly simultaneously in theaters.
So What Exactly is the Banned Drug That Maria Sharapova Was Taking?
It's the cardiac drug Meldonium which was developed during the cold war to create better Soviet soldiers. Note that Meldonium was only banned by WADA in January of this year.
And indeed, Mildronate-that's the brand name for meldonium-gave struggling recruits super-powers. Users had extra endurance and oxygen-carrying capacity that let them carry heavy backpacks over high-altitude mountain ranges and desert plateaus during the Soviet Union's invasion of the rugged nation from 1979 to 1989. In fact, Kalvins was a finalist for the European Inventor Award in 2015 (from the European Patent Office) for his work on the drug.
...So was Sharapova trying to get super-powered endurance or treat a heart condition, as she claimed on Monday? It's true that athletes from Russia and the former Soviet countries are having a particularly hard time obeying WADA's rules on drug use, and that meldonium seems especially popular with athletes from that region. Also, Grendiks says the appropriate course of treatment for a heart condition is four to six weeks, not the 10 years that Sharapova says she used it.
So You Want to Make $100K a Year With Health Insurance, a 401K, and No Credentials Required?
Then head to NYC young man and become a garbage collector.
To be sure, Molina and Sanka earn that paycheck: They work 55 to 60 hours a week from 7pm to 3am, do lots of heavy lifting in unsafe environments and all sorts of weather, and deal with stuff no one else would want to (that human body part: a leg Sankar spotted in a dumpster). And some people feel there's still a stigma attached to handling trash. But it's a relatively easy field to get into: There's no high school diploma needed for many private companies, and firms will often train for the commercial license required to drive a truck.

The Piston AR-15 Meltdown Test
Here Eric from Moss Pawn and Gun runs a piston AR-15 in full-auto until it fails. They cheated a bit compared to the stock DI AR-15 by using a heavy barrel but in the end it doesn't make a difference - the piston AR fails within 3 rounds of the failure of the stock AR-15. Which suggests that piston gas systems are not that panacea that internet writers make them out to be.
Sarah Palin: Todd Is Kinda Bionic at the Moment
Sarah Palin's husband is being held together by a ton of steel, and he's on a ventilator after his horrific snowmobiling accident.Todd Palin is still in ICU after undergoing a bunch of surgeries, according to Sarah. She says all of his ribs are now secured by steel bands, his broken clavicle is anchored by plates and rods -- and doctors are mechanically inflating his collapsed lung.
...Sarah says doctors still have to fix his broken shoulder and knees, but he has a lot of healing to do before those surgeries.

Why Does the FDIC Strongly Encourage Banks to Make Employees to Take Two Week Vacations?
Because they're concerned about the mental health of the bankers? Think again. It turns out that it's because it's hard to hide fraud when someone is away for 14 consecutive days.
"Such a policy is considered an important internal safeguard largely because of the fact that perpetration of an embezzlement of any substantial size usually requires the constant presence of the embezzler in order to manipulate records, respond to inquiries from customers or other employees, and otherwise prevent detection. It is important for examiners and bank management to recognize that the benefits of this policy may be substantially, if not totally, eroded if the duties performed by an absent individual are not assumed by someone else." [Emphasis added]
So You Want The Complete Mystery Science Theater 3000 Video Collection?
It's actually a more difficult challenge than you'd expect.
A while back, I went through all the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes. I don't remember why. Probably a good reason. Actually, probably not a good reason, but I did it anyway, because, well, I do things like that.Anyway, in order to watch them all, I had to get access to them. I had a friend who had many of the episodes on DVD, and he let me borrow those. Plus Hulu, Netflix, and other places had some online. Then there were pirate versions posted on the Internets. I was kinda uncomfortable with those. Anyway, it turned out that the only way to get some episodes was to buy them. I don't remember what happened next, but I ended up buying them all. All of them. Every one of them.
No, you don't understand yet. Probably. But, if you stick around, you're about to.
MST3K released episodes on VHS tape. Their company, Best Brains, sold them to MST3K Fan Club members. Later, they contracted with Rhino to distribute VHS tapes. Then Rhino started releasing DVDs. And, of course, Best Brains even released a few DVDs, but not many.
Then, Shout Factory took over from Rhino, and continued releasing DVDs. And that's the video release story at the high level.
Digging down into the weeds, though, we find there is more than one type of MST3K content. There's the riffing on the movies, of course, which is the bread and butter. Because some movies they riffed were shorter than typical films today, they would sometimes pad the episodes by having JOIKE and the Bots (some of you will get that reference) watch a short film, along the line of The Home Economics Story, or some other such "educational" video. And then there are the "host segments" that fill out the shows, and give the comedians the chance to do more than insult moving pictures. All the episodes had host segments and movies, and many had shorts.
And then it gets tricky.

The gun is usually more accurate than the shooter given the caliber and the ranges in play.
However it is true that there is more barrel wobble for most shooters in an HK-416 compared to the traditional gas impingement AR platform.
That said we are discussing ordinarily a variation of ~1/4th inch or less wobble in a shot group.
I am shocked at the failure life of the GI and PD ARs being that close.
I would have thought (given my limited experience with PD ARs) that the PD would have had at least a 10-15% longer life.
I'll need to winnow out the details, the equivalent wear rate makes sense if they literally shot out the bore.
PD ARs *are* MUCH MUCH cleaner operating per ammo cycle.
IMHO if you want a PD AR go buy a STANAG mag Galil

3. Depending on how the nomination turns out, it may be a good time for a second look at Gary Johnson instead of staying home. It would lead to the same outcome

Fire in space. Maybe I better read that one.
Justasec.
Ok, first, there are no convection currents in zero g, could be some slight effect in micro g. So the fire should be self extinguishing.
Second without convection currents, the only way to cool the hot spot is by radiation. Convection currents that carry away the hot gas carries away much more heat much faster.
With a persistent hot spot, the fire can re-ignite if something ventilates the compartment; open a door, launch something through the door like a person, or a fan turns on to move the air inside.
And I hope the cameras stay on so they can watch the capsule disintegrated during re-entry. That would be more interesting than watching a slowly burning block of flammable material.

The accident was in the news before the rally on Monday... she likely found out before it was in the news as he was injured on Sunday. There is no way I would have stuck around for a rally the next day if my husband was in intensive care.
This is not a new observation nor does it have anything to do really with Trump. She is not family first and it bothers me tremendously. Her kids have seemingly needed more attention than they get from her for a while and now this.

Tell her to go live in a neighborhood where the majority of people are living off welfare. She should also send her children to a school where most of the kids come from welfare homes. As a matter of fact, Detroit has a lot of cheap houses. These shithole neighborhoods, cities, and schools were created by a welfare system that rewards people for being irresponsible. I don't know one white liberal who would ever live anywhere near a welfare neighborhood, or send their kids to a school in a welfare area. Not one.

Shenanigans hare happening in Nevada.
Delegates to the county conventions were selected at the Caucus. Because some people working at the caucus couln't be at their own caucus sight, provision was made for those individuals to automatically become delegates. There are accusations of unnamed campaigns trying to use this as a "loophole" to pack the county convention, and elect delegates to the state convention, wherein the delegates to the nation convention are elected (along with the GOP electors).
Now, it turns out that many people were mislead about becoming delegates. People were allowed to pre-register for the county convention. Many were told that was all they needed to do to go to the convention. It turns out that physical forms (in triplicate) are necissary to register for the convention (these forms were available at the caucus for anyone interested in self-nominating). Many people who pre-registered didn't know about this, even though the information was hidden away in an e-mail that covered many things. The forms are due before the end of this month.
Out of 3000 eligable delegates, only about 1600 so far have turned in the form. This means that you could have potentially hundreds of people show up and be barred from the county convention.
There is also corruption afoot. The county chair apparently got kickbacks from the casino holding the convention. The county chair is more of a Gov. Sandoval friendly establishment type. However, the state party (which is beyond a joke) is led by a man who resigned from the Las Vegas city council over "land deals". The state party is controlled by Ron Paul type zealots.
Good thing that the GOP's real strength is controlled by Sandoval's machine...
This will be fun to watch...

And may your heart be light,
And may good luck pursue you,
Every day and night.
And let misfortune follow you the rest of your life,
But never once catch up!

And a soft pillow for your head,
And be in Heaven a full hour,

I noticed the other night there was some discussion of trying to diet/lose weight without feeling hungry.
I wondered if you've ever looked into Mireille GuIliano's book Roth the silly title "French Women Don't Get Fat"?
It's almost more of a philosophy book than a diet book but it's well worth a read for learning how to eat, move and love your body while enjoying it all and never feeling deprived.
Thought you might be interested.

The US should invade Mexico again but this time take them over. Mexico is essentially a failed/narco state.
All jihadi's once convicted are to be executed immediately (the same goes for child sex offenders and gang bangers. This Country will never recover unless we start dealing with the problems and getting rid of them. It will be ugly but we have to face facts.
I am sorry this sounds so violent but that is the only way things get fixed. Insert standard I am not advocating violence blah blah blah.
I would point to the Sarah Foxwell case in Salisbury MD. She was murdered by a registered sex offender after he raped her, killed her and touched the body. The local PD called in Homeland Security to track his cell phone to find out were he had been. They found the dead little girl on Christmas day. He abducted her, raped her, murdered her and then burned her, probably alive. He entered into a plea deal where he got life but no death penalty for admitting he did all of the above. IMHO once he admitted to this (no matter the deal) he should of been dragged out onto the court house lawn and shot in the head.
I dealt with this evil piece of shit for like 18 months (met him once a week). Wish I had smuggled in a shank or gun and done it myself. Thomas Leggs was his name. I have met pure evil, and it marked me, but it did not win.
I hate to throw onto the Horde but I had to get it out there. Dreamed about it last night.
I would ask if I can the horde sends out some prayers for Sarah Foxwell, all though I am sure she is in heaven looking down on us all.
Thanks,

Thanks for the encouragement! I started dancing ballet again a couple of years ago. Not pro or anything just civic, community performances. Mostly dancing with teenagers so it's a little hard not to compare myself to them, being about twice their age.
But when you start to get in balance and feel your body moving well it is very rewarding to the mind and spirit too.
There are ups and downs always.
I wish dance were more open to adults and beginners as adults, it's fun and challenging and to me is much more engaging than ac regular gym experience.

In my dad's neighborhood garbage collection is paid for by individuals, so there are a lot of companies. But all collection has to be on the same day, which is Monday. Well, my dopey beagle got loose, and as I was tearing back and forth down all the streets trying to catch the little bugger, the various garbage truck drivers helped me out by telling me which way she went and what street they'd seen her on.
Oh, and it took me two and a half hours to catch her. Then she was worn out, so she just sat in an intersection and waited for me to scoop her up.

Had a long, sorta-average, mostly unproductive day.
But did have Irish Beef Stew. Milady's ancestry made it Irish. Of course, she made French-ish bread to go with it (those long loaves - baggquettessish). And while dishing out the stew, I sang, "Ladle ladle ladle, I use it to serve stew! Ladle ladle ladle, it's just a thing i do...!" Served with wine from California or maybe it was Washington. So, multi-cultural appropriation. American, and proud of it. Oy oui go braugh, eh?

The creator of this comic says she wished that there was a web comic in the vein of Narnia, and since there wasn't one, she made one.
Note: this is NOT fan-fiction of Narnia; it's a fantasy world she made up, her own original creation. (I like how the orc talks like he is from Eastern Europe!) "In the vein of C. S. Lewis" means that angry atheists won't like it.

Most of flame behavior we know is due to gravity (well an accelerating reference frame to be exact). In free fall, weightlessness, flame behaves very differently.
Heat doesn't "rise", which is a feature of gravity. It makes spherical balls. Oxygen doesn't rush in underneath, it sort of diffuses into the surface of the little sphere.
Also, from micro-flame experiments on ISIS, tiny droplets of heptane being burned, they found something unexpected. The little fireballs go into "cool burning" mode, something that does not normally exist on earth because of the effect of gravity and heat rising and all that.
The visible flame will go out, but a reaction will continue to occur at much lower temperature, 400 - 1000F. This produced CO and formaldehyde, rather than CO2, H2O and soot.

Some bastard got my info from a hacked hospital system.The hospital informed me they were hacked and provided the credit reports and also free service to an ID Clearance company that would facilitate recovery if an incident occurred within one year. (All of their agents are licensed PIs.) It did.
Some bozo opened utility and cable for every girl in the state who would lay him. The ID company has been most helpful helping me clear the fraudulent claims. My agent and all the agents are licensed PIs.If you have received a "hacked" letter you should expect this type of assistance. If they didn't offer it call them with the expectation of receiving it.

My lower back is janked up because of the accident to my neck, but I admit I'm afraid of more surgery. I've been having pain treatments, but they do less and less to help. So those of you who have had lower back surgery-is it worth it?
Posted by: Moki at March 17, 2016 11:01 PM (7q2ch)
Yes, many times over yes.
I walked around for 5 months thinking that I had a pulled hamstring that just wasn't healing. Then over the course of a week, it got to the point where I couldn't even stand up long enough to piss or even walk to the bathroom.
Oxycontin? Couldn't even tell if I had taken anything. Had the surgery at 7:30am, was taken to the hospital room at about noon, at lunch, walked around the hallway, rocked a piss, went home at 3:30pm. Took a Tylenol4 when I got home, never took another painkiller afterwards.
That was 10 years ago, and today I am lifting more weights than ever before, and I have absolutely no problems lifting up 95lb dogs into the car.
Make sure you follow your surgeons rehab instructions. I didn't, he told me to swim and that would strengthen the back muscles better than anything else.

They went with 100% O2. Crazy, you think. Well, there were problems that sort of made that the least bad option at the time, before the fire.
It's the partial pressure of O2 that determines the flame potential. 100% O2 at atmospheric pressure will let stuff burn like a bitch, nearly impossible to put out. Stick anything hot enough in enough O2 pressure and it flames up, you can't put it out easily.
They had to go with overpressure on the ground at launch. CLosed capsule. You need slightly higher pressure to get stuff from getting in.
But you don't want to maintain that absolute pressure as the capsule goes up and pressure goes down. They would slowly vent pressure, trying to maintain a constant differential.
The higher the differential, the stronger and heavier the tin can would have to be to hold the pressure. At launch you wanted it pumped up.
But there's a problem using N2 mix. The bends. Get N2 at pressure, then depressurize and the astronauts could get the bends. And you have to worry about the partial pressure of oxygen for breathability. As absolute pressure decreased going up, you'd have to adjust the mix.
THat made for some very complicated design and weight problems.
At any rate, after the fire, they had to do that more complicated stuff. It was determined that 100% O2 at full pressure was just too damned dangerous.
Now, up in space at about 3psi absolute pressure, 100% O2 is no more, and maybe even less of a fire hazard than regular air at 1 atm pressure.

Oh yes, it was horrible. Grisson, Chafee and White died horribly. The problem was the hatch opening procedure was some damned ridiculously convoluted process that took over a minute to do. It opened inward, required Grisson to do something, then one of the others (seat position). Again, think pressure. If it opens outward, you need a more complicated design to hold pressure. See the airplane designs.
They didn't have time to do it, and the crew outside couldn't either. It had to be opened from the inside. After the fire, the hatch was redesigned so it could be blow open quickly if necessary.
In mission control, they were watching on TV feed, that big screen. They saw a flash. Heard the three scream. They don't know who said what. One said "I'm burning up". ANother said, "I'm getting the hell out!"
THey don't think Grissom even managed to try to start the hatch opening procedure. Even if he did, he would've been gone before it could've been completed.

Now, up in space at about 3psi absolute pressure, 100% O2 is no more, and maybe even less of a fire hazard than regular air at 1 atm pressure.

Only Garands showing in that Rhine-crossing pic. There in a DUKW, right? And note the terraced/worked steep slope on the far shore. I recall the incredibly steep shale vineyards along the Mosel, but these are obviously not vineyards. Wonder what's grown there?
Actually put 3 clips through one of my M1s today. Damn screw holding the vertical sight adjustment keeps getting loose (loctite? will consult the CMP forums) But still, cannot figure out how my notes show 8 clicks up for 100 yds, a few years back when I first got it, and now it's definitely 12 clicks up for 100 yds.

They used N2 and O2 mix during launch. Which was slowly bled off as they ascended. They had to keep breathing in their closed suit systems until things were equlibriated at the space condition. And then they could breath cabin air at pure O2 at low pressure. THere was something about a transition to the lunar module, and the atmosphere there, and then atmosphere inside their space suits during the moon walks. The suits needed to be as low a pressure as they could stand. A pressure suit with movable joints is something hard to do right. Too much pressure and the wrong design and it would be impossible to bend the joints.

We need a quantity X of the cream and quantity Y of the milk
(1) X+Y = 25 gal
(2) 0.25 X + 0.0325 Y = 25 * 0.125 = 25/8
which converts to
(3) X+0.13 Y = 25 / 2 = 12.5
Subtract the equation (3) from equation (1) yields
(4) 0.87 Y = 12.5
Which solves Y
(5) Y = 12.5 / 0.87 gal
Convert (1) to solve for X
(6) X = 25 - Y = 25 - 12.5 / 0.87 gal
Too lazy to break out a calculator, but eyeballing it, looks like Y ~= 14 gal and X ~= 11 gal. Which makes sense - if Y was 0% fat, then the ratios would be 1:1. Since Y has some fat, then we need to use more Y to dilute the X.

The experience of riding a Saturn V. I'd love to experience that. Remember those "NASA voices". The guys doing the countdown. They had a certain accent, a certain tone. All business. Just oozed competence, fearlessness, and all that. Boldly going.
THe astonauts had bio monitors, things measuring all the vital signs, BP, heart rate, etc. They sort of had fun with that. Right before launch, and you remember all the delays and all that. Read about all the ridiculous detail and all the people doing all the things at the right time during the countdown.
As it neared, there was soon a point of no return. In mission control, "go, no-go" calls would be made by all the myriad of subsystem people.
Imagine you were one of the three riding that thing. The countdown got to the low double digits. Shit or get off the pot lines were crossed. Switches were thrown that couldn't be unthrown, so to speak. You were going, you were going to ride that fire.
AS you got to the final moments of the countdown, the bio monitors would show the astronauts heart rates increasing rapidly. Thump, thump, thumpthumpthump! Lile they were going to explode. Especially the rookie, the one who had never rode the fire before.
The countdown reached the final 10 seconds. That NASA voice was counting it off. T -10, T - 9. At some point there, you heard that NASA voice say, "ignition sequence begin" -- and continues the countdown. Heart rates are now exploding.
They are lighting those mighty F-1 engines on the first stage. And you are going to ride them. The gas generator fires up, spinning up the mighty high speed turbo pumps that are going to feed ungodly rates of LOX and jet fuel to those mighty F-1s.
At "ignition sequence being" all that happens and then "sparklers" go off -- you've seen that, looks like grinder sparks coming out of the nozzles. That is, in a carefully engineered process, igniting that ungodly flow of fuel and oxidizer.
At that point, your heart is beating so fast you can't count the beats. You're probably about to shit your space suit. THose mighty F-1s light up. You feel the rumble and the roar.
At that point, a freakin' huge water tower release a huge deluge of cooling water, like a damn breaking, to tame the heat in the exhaust trench of those five mighty F-1s. Otherwise, you'd burn the whole damn thing up.
This is it, you tell yourself, I'm riding this thing. To the Moon.
It takes a few seconds for those F-1s to build full thrust, all 7.1whatever millions pounds worth. There are four huge clamps holding that thing down. THey must hold until full thrust is built. And then they must quickly, quickly, break away and let that giant hard-on of a thing loose.
You feel the rumble, the strains and creaking as tensions and compression stresses build up. Then explosive mechanisms blow those giant clamps away. Fast. Otherwise it would rip things apart.
And then she rises. You feel the g's pushing you in your seat. You can't say it, but you want to just scream "Heeeee --- Haaaawwww!"
Well, that got long....

That's what happens when you have a nation where the government is all-powerful. The bureaucracy's vanity comes before all else. Communism always turns into that, because it requires a government with absolute power to "give everyone their fair share." No matter what the starting intention of creating a system is, if you create a system with any amount of unchecked power, that power will eventually - and usually quickly - get abused to feed the ego of the person wielding it. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

It's all in the approach. My dad tried to teach me trig using "opposite over adjacent" from when I was in 4th grade. Got to 10th grade, they said, "take a unit circle centered on the origin; going counterclockwise theta degrees from the positive X axis, you hit that unit circle at the point (cos theta, sin theta)." Well, thank you very much -- I can derive whatever trig I need from that before I can figure "adjacent to whut?????"
For me, any other way of looking at it was "shit's all retarded, and their mom dressed-'em funny."

And those F-1 rocket engines? They produce enough heat to melt the materials of which they are made -- and, really, it's not even close. If you take an F-1 and shoot it at the side of another, it totally slags it. The crazy bastards that built those things run the liquid oxygen and the fuel around and around the inner surface of the engine as coolant before squirting it into the middle as fuel and oxidizer.

I was reading something about the shuttle crew. As I remember it, on launch the Commander was cool as a cucumber, but the shuttle pilot was in a panic. The Commander knew they had done everything right, all they could do. On re-entry, it was reversed. The Commander was in a panic, and the shuttle pilot was cool; the pilot because he knew what he was going to do but the commander was powerless and could only sit there and think about what could go wrong.

He went to the Moon twice, first Apollo 10 as CM pilot, this was the dress rehearsal for the actual landing. They decouple the LM and flew it around, but didn't land.
Then he was commander on Apollo 16 and walked on the Moon. They were pushing for more "science" on the later missions, and the Apollo 16 crew had to learn geology. They said he cottoned to it, and got quite good, knowing what to look for and how to know when he found it on the Moon.

That allow it to not just jump, but release slowly. Now, theoretically, any time up to the pin clearance, you could do an emergency shutdown of the engines. It should, theoretically, just settled back down on those pads.
But not after clearance. For so many seconds after that, there was a window where engine shutdown would've been impossible. Turn them off, and the rocket falls to the ground. It's not high enough for enough time for any escape mechanism to work.
During that time, the engines were put on hard lock down, impossible to shut down. No command sequence could initiate shutdown. Even if the damn thing exploded. Just try to keep thrusting the flaming hulk to keep the thing from falling until the escape tower could pull the CM off the top.
This was the most dangerous time. I think the survival probability during this critical time was pretty low in case of failure.

At any rate, during the critical period during the countdown, they went into breaker lockdown mode. The breakers were locked closed. They couldn't trip. A arcing fault/fire not to mention mild overload would be less catastrophic that a power cut to critical systems.
They had nitrogen purging systems through the conduit around the launch pad. This was to prevent any sparks from starting a fire. All that jet fuel, liquid H2 and LOX was not something to screw around with.

The 'money quote':
Once it reached cruising altitude and was far away from populated areas, the nuclear reactor would be made critical. Since nuclear power gave it almost unlimited range, the missile could cruise in circles over the ocean until ordered "down to the deck" for its supersonic dash to targets in the Soviet Union. The SLAM as proposed would carry a payload of many nuclear weapons to be dropped on multiple targets, making the cruise missile into an unmanned bomber. After delivering all its warheads, the missile could then spend weeks flying over populated areas at low altitudes, causing tremendous ground damage with its shock wave. When it finally lost enough power to fly, and crash-landed, the engine would have a good chance of spewing deadly radiation for months to come.

Sucks to be you. "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." -- and, instead of doing any of those worthwhile things, you compulsively seek entrance to a private club where you are not wanted. I guess that makes you Captain America, right?

Snowmobiles, especially modern ones, are amazingly fast. Real hot rods. Have more in common with a motocross racing bike than any quad. Pro riders mostly ride kneeling, not seated. Hit a bad bump, and you will get launched.
It's been years since I have been on one, other than a putt around the neighbor's yard on his kids' machine, but they are big, dirty fun. A powerful snow machine will skim across open water for miles, if you don't slow down. I had occasion to cross a frozen lake that was in the process of melting, and the old timers said, "crack the throttle wide open, don't slow down, and you will be fine". I'm here to tell about it.

In Canada, both get used. If you wanted to draw a distinction, "snowmobile" would be a two-track vehicle with a cabin, like a Bombi, Tucker Sno-Cat, or a Nodwell. And "snow machine" would be your single-track open vehicles.

Hey! If it's not a hopeless rustbucket, go for it. If the original engine and transmission are toast, there are plenty of engine swap possibilities.

The urge on the part of the GOP establishment to finagle the rules and pick a candidate other than Trump at a brokered convention is exactly the same thought process that gave us Gay marriage in every state even though the majority of voters said no pretty much every time it came up in an election. There is a substantial part of the population, particularly in the Ruling Class who do not have any regard for democracy and do not feel constrained by the will or the preferences of the majority of the people who have to live with the laws that are enacted.
There is a part of the Declaration of Independence where, among the truths that are held to be self evident is stated that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. We know that for a long time the Democrats have not believed this. The fight to overturn the results of the primary elections demonstrates that the coastal elites who run the Republican Party don't believe it either.

Let go these evil thoughts.
Next you will find yourself in a Public House, lofting a pint and openly speaking against the King.

I read those books many years ago and occasionally read "The Hobbit" over again. I didn't see the movies when they came out ,but over the past few weeks we have been watching them in the evening. We're currently looking at "Return of The King". I enjoy them, but I find night after night of orcs and humans and dwarves and elves fighting exhausting. FenelonSpouse says it makes him tired; I think it's the noise of all the battles that does it.

Another brilliant typo courtesy of Pixy. Should be "bragging" although clearly my brain isn't working this morning so I'm not braining either.

Re: the childish FB "poke," they basically want attention. But then again, isn't that what the entirety of social media is about?
