Overnight Open Thread (3-23-2016) – Where Women Glow And Men Plunder Edition
Then again, it's hard for the security and intel agencies to get the resources they need when the commander-in-chief spends barely a minute addressing the Brussels attack, and adjourns to a baseball game with Raul Castro.
A retired police officer told me that the "gun on campus" has become the new "bomb threat." Bomb threats became so ubiquitous in the 70's that severe penalties were put in place, and enforced, for people calling in fraudulent bomb threats. The cost of institutions being forced to shut down for hours at a time is enormous.
But "Gun!" threats are politically correct. Questioning the validity of such threats is verboten; especially on university campuses.
Thus, Hollywood can only keep reliably making money off of Harrison Ford by cloning him. Sure, it will open up all sorts of philosophical and ethical quandaries about the nature of identity and man's relationship to science, but since when has Hollywood cared about any of that?
...So, Hollywood, you've got your answer: Create Harrison Ford clones, at whatever age you need him to be, and we can have Han Solo, Indiana Jones, and all of his other characters forever. Ford will never ride off into the sunset. The alternative of creativity and risk is simply too abhorrent to contemplate.
Pro tip: the best Star Wars prequel is still Triumph The Insult Comic Dog interviewing people standing in line for Attack of the Clones.
Our sires' age was worse than our grandsires'. We, their sons, are more worthless than they; so in our turn we shall give the world a progeny yet more corrupt.

If Sweden and Germany Became US States, They Would be Among the Poorest States
These national-level comparisons take into account taxes, and include social benefits (e.g., "welfare" and state-subsidized health care) as income. Purchasing power is adjusted to take differences in the cost of living in different countries into account.Since Sweden is held up as a sort of promised land by American socialists, let's compare it first. We find that, if it were to join the US as a state, Sweden would be poorer than all but 12 states, with a median income of $27,167.
Median residents in states like Colorado ($35,830), Massachusetts ($37,626), Virginia ($39,291), Washington ($36,343), and Utah ($36,036) have considerably higher incomes than Sweden.
With the exception of Luxembourg ($38,502), Norway ($35,528 ), and Switzerland ($35,083), all countries shown would fail to rank as high-income states were they to become part of the United States. In fact, most would fare worse than Mississippi, the poorest state.
And when you take into account the differences in costs of living among US states the European rankings get even worse.

Remembering Col. Avery Kay, The Father of the A-10 Warthog
Using the very real threat of the Army's plan to build a helicopter to take over Air Force close support, Kay convinced McConnell that if the Army got its funding approved, he would go down in Air Force history as the chief that lost the close support mission and the money that goes along with it.To counter the Army's proposal, Kay pitched a plan to build an airplane dedicated to the close support missions that would be cheaper and more effective than any helicopter.
McConnell approved the plan, but Kay quickly realized that he would have to circumvent the normal chain of command to fulfill his promise to the Army, as many of the Air Force's top generals still lacked interest in spending budget dollars on this cause.
Rather than approaching the Air Staff and Tactical command offices, which normally facilitate the building of new planes, Kay reached out to Sprey, who was working for the defense secretary, to help make his plan for the A-10 become a reality.
"What he did at this point is he put his career on the line," Sprey recalled.
Together, Kay and Sprey worked in secret to develop an aircraft that could cover ground troops from an enemy advance, buying time for grunts to regroup or get out with an aerial weapons strike.
"The entire A-10 community is basically due to his guts and his integrity," said Sprey, now an adviser for the Project on Government Oversight. "If anyone deserves the title of 'father of the A-10,' Col. Kay definitely does."

Olivia Newton-John's Dead Boyfriend Found Alive and Well in Mexico Ten Years Later
Newton-John reported that McDermott was missing a week after the "incident" when he failed to show up for a family gathering. She had been out of the country at the time of the disappearance and unknowingly gave McDermott just enough of a head start to make a clean getaway.Of the 22 passengers on the fishing boat, not a single one saw McDermott go overboard. Shortly before his disappearance, McDermott filed for bankruptcy with debts of $30,000. (So, look for a lot of college students to try the old "fell from a boat" move soon.)
McDermott also secured a second passport and withdrew his life savings from two different bank accounts before going missing. There's something very obviously fishy about this whole thing.
Well to be fair faking my own death and fleeing to Mexico is actually the default backup plan for most of my life challenges (and also the name of my imaginary 80s cover band) but it sure seems like a lot time, trouble, and expense for just a mere $30 grand.

I'm sure they were behind the push to legislate that the Army couldn't have combat fixed-wing aircraft... probably all connected. Army and Marines should have had the A-10 all along..... though... evidently it only came about because the guy who designed it wanted to save CAS as a role for the AF, so it probably wouldn't have ever existed if not for that.

and then with Zarqawi
Ware soon became a trusted emissary for Abu Musab Zarqawi, the infamous late leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq who turns into a Kurtzian obsession for the reporter. Zarqawi would stage and then film beheadings and suicide attacks on Westerners, and when he wanted the world to see his handiwork, he would often deliver footage to Ware. The journalist, for instance, was given a DVD of the 2004 beheading of the American radio-tower operator Nicholas Berg, a snippet of which is shown here in a brief but highly discomfiting moment.
CNN came under fire, particularly by the right, for furthering extremist aims in showing footage of this sort, including U.S. soldiers' deaths at the hands of Iraqi snipers in 2006 filmed by Ware.
In the interview this week, the journalist waved aside the idea that this kind of material shouldn't be shown. We have to know how all sides are operating, he said. It's that simple."
A number of such scenes appear in this film, with Only the Dead frequently showing militants as they plan attacks and lay out their motivations while Ware is embedded in their ranks, and it remains to be seen what reaction the movie's stark candor will elicit when it eventually airs on HBO.

The article says nothing like this. Its all about how in 2008 it was alleged that he was living in Mexico. And there's really nothing in the article that's really confirming it, except one source of a guy who seems to be trying to make money off it by saying he's seen him and talked to his lawyer saying that the guy is fine and wants to be left alone. But that's not the lawyer saying it, its the guy claiming that the lawyer told him.

That is wild Tami. Bailey was named after my Grandma's favorite drink, she was born just a few days after Grandma passed at almost 104.
Kahlua just followed the precedent as she was a Chocolate lab vs Bailey being a yellow. Odd that we ended up w/ the same names.
Sorry yours are gone. We got Kahlua, now just over 1 so that we will have a doggeh when Bailey goes, she's 5.5 yo old.

Every dog needs a pet.
Sam had Mukluk. Sam was mostly deaf and blind in his old age. Muk would push him into the sunny spots, tell him when to bark and when to head for the kitchen, and defended him against the loose dogs in the neighborhood. Would also curl up with him at night to be sure he stayed warm and didn't get lonely.

I knew someone who kicked her adult son out. He was out of school, working full time, and living in his widowed mother's really nice upper middle class house. His late father had been a builder, so nice house, no money issues for mom.
This guy was your typical entitled 23 year old. He came and went as he pleased and spent most of his income screwing around. So he came home late on a weeknight and complained that the meal his mother had prepared for him earlier was cold.
The next day when he came home the locks had been changed and all his stuff was in boxes in the garage. He got the message and the two of them got along very well after that.

Black is the most common hair color for the global population, but brown is the most common for Western populations. Natural blondes and redheads are pretty small global wise, but higher for the Western population.
Natural blondes are the smartest, followed by the brown haired, followed by redheads, followed by black hair. Black, being the largest, hits the global average of 100.
How did we get the dumb blonder stereotype? Probably from the type of women likely to dye their hair deep blonde and act slutty and ditzy

I remember well when RR fired the PATCO controllers.
I was a young military controller at the time. Mil facilities were sending troops to FAA towers and TRACONs to replace the fired ones. Any military controller who got rated in an FAA fac and could get out of the service was hired on the spot.
I had a rare specialty at the time and was deemed too valuable to let deploy.
The net difference in career salary potential is tough to think about sometimes...

He moved out in the way kids that young do. He stayed with friends for a short time, then got his own place. I think that it is a bad idea for young people with decent incomes to live at home. They squander their paychecks stupidly, and, not having to pay all of their living expenses, never learn to budget and grow up.

illegal strike. Reagan told the strikers they had 48 hours to get back
to work or they'd be fired, and by God, he wasn't kidding. As I recall,
the union was decertified. That was back in the days when Republicans were actually effective."
What a few brave souls predicted at the time was that the political climate would eventually shift back to the left, that the replacement ATCs would eventually vote to re-unionize, and that they would then be just as bad as the original union that Reagan got rid of.
Guess what? That's exactly what happened.
I was down by the airport a few months ago and saw a bumper sticker on the back of a car reading "NATCA For Obama", that organization being the new successor to the original PATCO union.

Simple. Guys of all races/ethnicities generally prefer blondes. The bruthas go for blondes, and the Muslims prefer to rape blondes, so the Muslims in Sweden are in sand n-word heaven.
Women who bleach their hair blonde do so because they figure that their most valuable asset is the one they sit on, not the one they put hats on. They have just enough intelligence to realize they're not going to make it in life based on their intellect (laughing here), so they'd better make themselves attractive to

Apparently, an ordinance in Charlotte, North Carolina was set to take effect in April that would have anyone at anytime to enter any bathroom or changing room, and every business in Charlotte would have had to comply.
Since the General Assembly and NC's Governor have voided this stupid ordinance, expect the normal calls of "discrimination" and "why are you spending so much time caring about bathrooms, loz" from the usual suspects.

Sources (read: the Mossad) also tell Haaretz that the attack was planned at ISIS Headquarters in Raqqa, Syria, indicating that the group's senior leaders remain active, despite periodic western airstrikes.
That's UNPOSSIBLE! The American Interest article told us the other day that ISIS was losing ground in Syria due to drone strikes taking out ISIS commanders faster than they can replace them.

The F-14 was the do-everything bird, and very, very expensive. Excellent fighter, competent bomber, adequate AWACS platform.

I'm trying to remember. Remember those gays for Hillary guys who got mad at Barky for stealing the '08 primary from here. Even liked Palin.
Anyway, you know how the gheys are the fashion queens. I remember reading them just tearing Mooch's dresses apart. It was hilarious. I just imagining them talking that in an over the top gay lisp while prissing around and it just cracked me up.
Anyway, one dress she wore matched the pattern of one of their crazy aunt's cat piss couch, an old couch in her basement that smelled of cat piss and they just had a grand ol gay time with that.
I'd love to read what they'd be saying about Mooch in Argentina.

Armor up a jet for ground attack, to where it can survive being low and slow in the trashfire envelope, and suddenly it's too heavy to climb, turn and burn in a fight at higher altitudes.
(All engineering schools should have the somber word "TRADEOFFS" engraved over the main door, as a reminder.)
The F-35 is being sold as a fighter and as an attack plane. It's not especially well suited to either role. Too slow and clumsy for air to air. Too fragile and expensive to get down on air to ground.
They're proposing to keep it well up out of the air to ground nastiness with new precision attack munitions like the Small Diameter Bomb. That said, a cheap drone can drop an SDB just as well. And a fuel-efficient drone can stay on station for a virtually infinite time compared to the thirsty F-35 having to regularly break off to go find a tanker.

>> a 'do it all' fighter-attack aircraft.
They've tried, many many times.
You end up with a $35M folding spork that doubles as a bayonet. See 'F-111'.
The US experience in Vietnam was notably salubrious, they threw every Cold War era fast-mover they had at the SEA karst and the some of the most useful hardware proved to be an Island of Misfit Toys collection of antiques and oddballs - the Skyraider, the B-26, the B-57, the F-10 Skyknight, the A-37, eventually the A-7.
The USAF darkened the skies with F-100s and F-105s and F-4s and found them all vulnerable to ground fire and incapable of hanging around a firefight.
The A-10 came to be because in the end the one indispensable CAS aircraft of the South East Asian Unpleasantness was a late '40s torpedo bomber (the Skyraider), and the primary lessons learned from it and the other misfits was:
a) If you make a plane fast, the pilot won't hang around, the fuel burn won't let him even if he wanted to, and CAS is all about hanging around
b) If you're going to hang around you need a whole damn wing full of stuff to drop and shoot when the FAC calls you up
c) Hanging around means you're gonna be shot at, and (salubrious Skyraider lesson) you don't want to be shot at too much in a single-engine aircraft
Then the USAF added
d) CAS in Europe means there's eleventy-billion T-62s coming down the gap, and we need something to kill them 'cause 93 German Leopards ain't gonna cut it
Ergo the A-X competitors - the A-9 and eventual winner A-10 - came out big, slow, twin-engined, and with more places to hang sensors and bang than you can count. And they ended up wrapped around the big GAU-8 can-opener.
Now, here's your Common Core quiz: How many of the above criteria does the F-35 meet?

You know, thinking about it, ComiCon would be a pretty good target for a terrorist attack. The last year I was there was back in '94; only 30,000ish attendees and no celebrities of major note. From what I have read, ComiCon is pulling in 100,000+ and some big name celebs. Talk about getting some press.

So unimpressed with what they ended up doing with the script. Obviously it was a lower budget flick, so no locations, small cast, think piece to a certain extent. And there was a lot to like, the CGI was immaculate, Oscar Isaac was fantastic, there was a good feel to the film.
I won't spoil it, but the fact that Isaac's character would end up doing what the film had him end up doing is... fucking stupid. Smartest, richest guy in the world, remember?
The male ingenue sucked, too haha.

There's nothing there. Oscar Isaac gave 50% of a performance and it felt like 110% because the character made no sense. He did something with nothing. There's no arc to the story. There are no characters. We're supposed to care about the bot but she ends up being a murderer and they basically worked back from that twist and made the movie all fucked up to justify it.
Not what I would have done.

Something similar to that will almost certainly happen, and could have an outsize influence on the "social media generation" and their relation to larger culture wars, even bigger than GamerGate (which is still the subject of a propaganda campaign to be envied).

I've explained that to my boys. Yeah, you can borrow money; but then you're beholden to the lender. Liberals and other retards then suggest burning the lender. But they're too stupid to realize that you'll still need to borrow money, and now you've signaled to all and sundry that you're a shitty credit risk, and that they should demand a whacking great interest premium - or not lend to you at all.
Bottom line: he who has the gold makes the rules. When you have money, you have options. When you have debt, you have problems. And masters.

I'm kind of meh on"Ex-Machina" myself. Probably because I saw "The Machine" about six months before. The stories are very similar, only "The Machine" is a no budget movie made in England and came out about 2 years earlier. I did enjoy "The Machine" however. It feels like it could be an alternate "Terminator" origin story.

I enjoy music from all sorts of traditions but just can't make myself not *hate* Japanese music even though I've been trying for over a year.

After that, well I became an example of a hard-times economic phenomenon. The high end can do well, even better, but the middle end and even the low end gets killed. You can't afford the middle end, so you hold off and save up and splurge for the high end once in a blue moon.
I was reading about how that happened during the Depression. The best of the best did well. That included entertainment.
And so, last Christmas I spent over $200 on some Prime Ribeyes. WHich I just couldn't believe. But damn, if eating was sex, I was having a three-way or more-way with Kate Upton and some of her hot besties.
The stuff cut like butter, big thick MFers. And just melted in the mouth. I think I jizzed my pants on the first bite.

It's a matter of taste, in part, and culture, to be sure.
Example?
My angel simply loves her some Bach (which I find static and weak at times) and inflicts vietnamese music on me - traditional, modern, and folk - whenever she's driving.
By contrast, I'm a Mahler and R. Strauss kinda guy (which music she finds 'unsettling' and uncomfortable; 'they create a problem but never resolve it, they just keep probing the wound,' she says), who strays into bluegrass, scorch-folk, and various other musical heresies. Of these, bluegrass is the one she simply cannot abide, though, to me, it sounds rather like what the Choir Invisible ought to be singing as they welcome me home.

Reservations for Model 3 begin on March 31st worldwide. There are two ways to make a reservation. The first, which will allow you to get a better spot in the queue, is to visit your local Tesla store when it opens on March 31st. Second is to make a reservation online at Tesla.com when the live unveil starts at 8:30pm PDT.
In order to be as fair as possible, there will be a different queue for reservations in each region. And as a thank you to our current owners, existing customers will get priority in each region (one priority reservation for each Tesla they own). For those who aren't Tesla owners yet, this means the fastest way to buy a Model 3 is to buy a Model S or Model X.
Model 3 production is scheduled to begin in late 2017. When production begins, we will begin deliveries in North America starting on the West Coast, moving east. As we continue to ramp production, we will begin deliveries in Europe, APAC and right-hand drive markets.
---
So get out there and reserve that Model 3, and remember, the surest way to do so is to peel off a hundred grand and buy a Model S.

Starting to think you're right. I guess the *impression* of Japanese music will have to do. I think you're right about the pitch being higher as well. Also, I noticed that the notes played on the koto all tend to be very separate and abrupt instead of flowing together like erhu or harp and I think that makes a lot of difference to me.

Ancient Greek music tended to focus on harmonies. Roman was more stark, Japanese more stark still.
I suspect that there was a greater variation *at the time*, and things were preserved that were popular with elites at the time of preservation. I suspect that Japanese singers had a greater range than depicted, for example, simply because human.

There's a weird story that gozinta this.....I was in summer school for an early grade (5th?) and an instructor played an album of classical music on the Moog. When I asked what that was, he replied, "Walter Carlos, Switched-On Bach". He was absolutely wrong, it was Ruth White, "Short Circuits" (1970).
But that misidentification sent me haring-off after Moog albums near-and-far (e.g. "Switched-on Buck" -- the "Bakersfield sound" as rendered on the Moog). The idea that sounds could be conjured forth from nothing, as Athena sprang from the head of Zeus, fascinated me -- fascinates me still, if truth be told. And it has resulted in a very fat, odd corner of my recorded-music collection.

I tried a search in my area, 'prime beef Santa Clarita' and got three hits that weren't actually in Santa Clarita but not unreasonably far for something special.
If I was really determined, I could head 160 miles North to Harris Ranch and get it right from the source, though they have retailers carrying their stuff a lot closer.
There used to be a really serious meat market in the area but they went under a couple of years ago and their location joined the numerous empty storefronts that trouble me whenever I go out.
The right search might surprise you.

Back in the day, the Fed used to be coy and wouldn't come out and save it was targeting interest rates like it does now. But the Fed was pulling it's money supply levers to try to set interest rates. There was the view that the size of the Fed's moves weren't really large enough relative to the size of the market to exert the influence it did, and the guys I was reading tried to look at that.
They found that the true measure of short term interest rates wasn't really the Fed Funds rate, but the short term Treasury bill rates. That was the one that was the most sensitive.
And they concluded that no, the Fed didn't really have the power, it was the market *thinking* the Fed had the power. Back then, the market sort of had to guess what the Fed was trying to do with rates. And they found a couple of instances where the market guessed wrong momentarily. The actual short term T rates moved where the market *thought the Fed was going*, not where it was really going.
So the invisible hand could actually buck the Fed if it wanted to, but it just does what the Fed wants it to based on the belief that the Fed can force it.

But if the beltway unistate has its way, it won't happen. The plant will decay and become open to the elements; the people will become addicted to the government suck; the innovation will succumb to groupthink; the enviroweenies will turn off the lights; and the SJW will blame it all on evil sexist racist heterocapitalists.

The Nazis were right-wing ... in European politics. Since pretty much all Euro governments are collectivist (as the "party" is the fundamental political entity in all their dogshit parliamentary systems) the basic left-right spectrum breaks more along internationalist/nationalist lines.
The Nazis are right wing in European scales but would be left wing socialists in the American political spectrum. The problem that we have these days is that too many people think that left-right is the same everywhere. The American political structure is utterly unique and our left-right spectrum is different from all others, due in large part to that fact that we never had a permanent royal executive that our legislature had to slowly steal power from.

Collectivism is an inherent part of European governmental architectures, as evidenced by the fact that they are all party-oriented systems with essentially no independent executive branch or judiciary - just a legislature that stole all the power and creates a pretend, ephemeral executive whenever some party or coalition has an iron grip on it. There is little to distinguish their various brands of collectivism and, so, the left-right spectrum there has different meaning.

The idea that the Fascists were anything other than leftists was the official new normal from the Soviets to all their followers in Europe and the US right after Barbarossa.
Nobody trying to pitch that "Well, right wing for Europe" bit would have been taken seriously up until then. When Mussolini and Hitler declared themselves men of the left, they were addressing Europeans, not Americans.

The soldier was in light-to-moderate condition with stab wounds in the shoulder and hand. Magen David Adom transported him from the scene to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.
The stabbing occurred before the Jewish community in the West Bank city of Hebron was set to start its annual Purim parade in that location

Shortly after last November's attacks on Paris by a Brussels-based Islamic State cell, a top US counter-terrorism official traveling in Europe wanted to visit Brussels to learn more about the investigation.
When the official tried to arrange meetings, however, his Belgian counterparts were not welcoming, according to US officials familiar with the events. The Belgians indicated it was a bad time to speak to foreign officials as they were too busy with the investigation, said the officials, who asked not to be identified.
Belgian officials declined to comment on the incident.
The brush-off was one small sign of mounting US frustration over Brussels' handling of its worsening Islamic militant threat.
Concern that the small European nation's security and intelligence officials are overwhelmed - and that its coordination with allies falls short - have again come to the fore following the Islamic State-claimed attacks on Tuesday that killed at least 31 people.
Several US officials say that security cooperation has been hampered by patchy intelligence-sharing by Brussels and wide differences in the willingness of different agencies to work with foreign countries, even close allies.

I wonder the same - which is why the Horde is such a comfort. I find myself biting my tongue until it bleeds because if I didn't Id get into a lot of trouble arguing with fools.
I've mentioned this already, but it really, really disturbed me yesterday to hear a young Marine vet enthusiastically praising Bernie, who is going to give everybody free college and healthcare and unicorns and lollipops.
It's one thing to hear a bearded hipster with ear gauges talk about how great Sanders is, but when you hear a clean-cut, employed Iraq vet talk about how life will be great when the rich pay for everything, you realize just how brainswashed young people are and how deep the rot is.

A New Zealand university professor has come under criticism for comparing SodaStream to a Germany company that cooperated with the Nazis.
The news website Stuff.co.nz reports that Professor Scott Poynting, a supposed expert on hate crimes from the University of Auckland, wrote a letter to the Waikato Times last November.
"Thank you for explaining in your article how SodaStream generously provided work for Palestinians. I understand that IG Farben provided work for large numbers of Jews. Not that I have anything against Germans, mind you," he wrote in response to an article on the Israeli company.

Oh those wacky Joos with the marching of the Palies to the gas showers after they make some carbonated soda.
What? You say the Palies are living and working of their own free will? And they haven't been killed? Unpossible!

We are switching internet providers on Friday so I will either get a new hash or be Pixy banned.
Posted by: @votermom at March 24, 2016 05:33 AM (cbfNE)
Pixy should not ban you because you get a new hash. Mine changes on its own often. In any case, I think your hash is determined by your modem or router, not the provider.

But you notice that it did not move to the next comment as it used to in the past. I have an italic tag closer in my name box to prevent that.

What a nice ONT. No bitching and fighting about the GOP candidates, no ugly sniping back and forth.

Well, it wasn't entirely politics free. If you see a post with [ ] in it (and I am one of the guilty) it was political comment that was deleted by Maet. Nothing bad enough to start a fight or get banned, but Maet was trying keep it from having any politics.

No need for the barrel then if you have your anti-barrel defenses deployed.

Thought for the day. Is it just me or does there seem to be virtually no Islamic terrorist attacks in South America? Other than the obvious strict controls put in place by communist/ totalitarian - controlled countries, why would that be the case?

at the Airport, but really, what can she do? She does not have my "Arab"
radar. And it's an early flight so and terrorists being lazy tend to
take later flights.

Back in the day when I was an FO in the USMC, I had the privilege of directing fire from A-10 Warthogs. Compared to the other aircraft we used you could immediately tell the Warthog would be a viable resource for close air support. They could come in slow and tear shit up way better than all the others. The Warthog seemed to be able to turn on a dime and make passes on target like no other. It's sad the military wants to get ride of the A-10 rather than improve on any of it's deficiencies, but, anyone with military experience knows how stupid the "brass" can get.
The most dangerous person in the military is a 2nd lieutenant followed by a four star general.
