Good Morning Morons. Today is Monday, March 28, 2016. On this day in 1979 the Three Mile Island accident occurred. The MFM blew it all out of proportion and scared everyone to death.

RIP Jim Harrison, the fiction writer, poet, outdoorsman and reveler who wrote with gruff affection for the country's landscape and rural life and enjoyed mainstream success in middle age with his historical saga "Legends of the Fall," has died at age 78.

Morning, 'rons and 'ronettes. Thanks for the news, Vic.
The humorist Bennett Cerf tells a story about Kirk Douglas which I've always liked: it seems Douglas was in costume as a Roman soldier* for one of those huge, garish VistaVision spectacles Hollywood specialized in back in the day. When it came time for a break in the shooting, he ambled over to a nearby bistro for a few adult beverages, taking a couple of other "legionaries" with him.
As they strode into the place in full Roman kit, the bartender gaped at the crew in astonishment, not speaking or moving, even when Douglas and his friends commandeered a table. Finally, the actor asked, "What's the matter, pop? Don't you cater to servicemen here?"
Hope you all have a wonderful day.
*for which movie, I don't know. And I don't think it was Spartacus.

Pope Francis is has set an unfortunate record. Since he's definitely out of the Red Closet now and obviously a follower of liberation theology (a heresy), he's the first heretical Pope. Why don't we just dig up some Cathars and Gnostics while we're at it?
Makes me glad I didn't get off my ass and finally join the RCC like I was considering. I'll go on being a nondenominational until he's out and someone sane is back in. Pope Benedict was a great man who was vilified for telling the truth (quoting a Byzantine Emperor about Islam). Wish he'd stuck with it.

Good morning, all.
From this date in 1944- Anzio, Italy
28 Mar 1944 - The EZ Dog Journal
194th Bn, 8 in. Hows, came in. In our first daylight raid for sometime, Gerry sent over about 40 planes. Bombs dropped in water - no damage. When it was all over AA had downed 8 and Spits 3. Not a bad show.
The Allies were hoping that the newly available 8 inch Howitzers would be a match for some of the medium and large weapons that the Germans had, many of which outranged the Allied counterbattery arsenal. In actuality, the 8 inchers, although more powerful and throwing a larger projectile, had less effective range than the workhorse of the Allies, the 155 mm Long Tom.

"On this day in 1979 the Three Mile Island accident occurred. The MFM blew it all out of proportion and scared everyone to death."
I have mixed feelings about TMI.
On the one hand, yep, there was huge public hysteria over largely nothing. Greenpeace and the other usual suspects said there would be a huge spike in cancer and other radiologically induced ailments. They got massive coverage. Later, when no such thing actually eventuated, ::: crickets :::
Dr. Edward Teller said he was the only medical casualty. He got so worked up rushing from press conference to press conference, telling the public that, no, there was no physical possibility that a nuke plant can explode "like the Hiroshima bomb," as many predicted it would, that Teller himself had a heart attack from overexertion.
But on the other hand, both the top executives and the labor unions of the nuclear industry did not cover themselves in glory regarding TMI.
The execs did stuff like send out public relations flacks to use weasel words like "rapid disassembly" when referring to an explosion. And the technical inquest found undeniable evidence that the labor union had allowed utterly shoddy workmanship. My favorite example being the crushed beer can found inside the crippled reactor's cooling loop by a robot camera.
I'm a big proponent of nuclear. But it's serious grown-up business. It can't be built or run in a casual, offhanded way. That's just what American businesses tried to do with it. And got bit in the ass by regulators and public opinion and lefty agitprop when the at that point inevitable TMI accident then happened.

Pennsylvania's Lycoming County Coroner is going to call all deaths by drug overdose a homicide unless the deceased had a prescription for that drug in his possession per fox news.
Good idea in theory but what is he going to call it when someone steals prescription drugs and OD's on them?

'Don't raise the bridge, lower the water' has become the mindset of the majority of people all over the world. 'The water' being the wealth of better off nations, 'the bridge' being their own economies.
A notion which a nation nineteen trillion dollars in debt should reject with a loud 'fuck you, fix your own shit first'.
As to the Pope, one day he's washing the feet of muslim immigrants, the next day 'heightened security' is apparent when he gives an open air mass. As if the dots are impossible to connect.

When TMI happened I was 19 and rather naive. I got into an argument over nuclear power with my uncle. I thought people like Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Brown and Bonnie Raitt were experts whine I thought my uncle had no idea what he was talking about - despite the fact he was an engineer and worked for RCA doing hush-hush laser research.
I'd rather we fracked and drilled for oil everywhere we could, but I'll take nukes any day over sitting in the darkness.
I apologized to my uncle since then, and I treasure seeing him and my aunt once a month for long lunches and venting sessions about where the country is headed.

I have studied that accident to death and that is the first time I have heard about a crushed beer can in a coolant loop. The accident was caused by a faulty design which showed the "demand" position of a relief valve instead of the actual position. The valve was stuck open and the backup indication was located on the back side of the main control board where it could not be seen.

There's always the Eastern Orthodox Church.
They have had more direct exposure to the joys of Communism and Islam than have their RCC counterparts, and hence may regard those threats with more seriousness than Francis, who if he lightens up any further will start to bob like a balloon.

I'll say straight away that I have not seen the threads/comments that have got people banned, but I think when personal attack/insults are hurled at people instead of cogent, reasoned arguments, then it shouldn't be a mystery. That said, it's those who wield the hammer that get to decide what constitutes what.
In any case, common sense and common courtesy should be the order of the day. It seems to be amount the majority of us.

Having just taken a quick skim through the weekend threads, I think Ace's (I think it was Ace's) comment that America was broken, but Obama finished it off is the way to go. IOW, Trump, Cruz, Scankles, Grandpa Simpson - fuck it. America's never coming back in our lifetimes. Accepting the end - feeling the burn, one might say? - seems rather freeing.
BTW, Insomniac, how's the job search? I've been praying for you.

It is kind of nice seeing the positive stuff in the side bar about Cruz instead of the negative stuff about Trump.
I'm not a Cruz guy but be positive about who you believe in. Please.

"I have studied that accident to death and that is the first time I have heard about a crushed beer can in a coolant loop."
Source for me was an experienced industry guy with an NRC operator's license who had been on board with the post-accident board of inquiry.
The foreign material in the cooling loop wasn't the source of the accident, didn't make the accident worse, but absolutely shouldn't have been in there. Showed the lack of labor discipline and quality control.
You can imagine what would have happened if something similar had come to the attention of Naval Reactors, still at that time run by Adm. Rickover. The kindly old gentleman would have personally presided over immediate brutal dismissals of everyone even remotely connected with such a thing.

Look, I cannot abide by Trump and support Cruz to the hilt and I can write a very long essay highlighting my reasons.
But I disagree in the most strident manner possible with anyone who will actively vote for Hilary as a protest to Trump. Now that said, more and more, I am sinking to my default position post 2012 that never again will I hold my nose to vote. I may sit it out. But a Trump is the absolute wrong man at perhaps one of the most, if not the most crucial moment in the life of the nation.
If saying that gets me banned, then bombs away. I wouldn't want to be here if that's the case. I hope not, because aside from my own blog, this is about the only place left for me to turn.

"If a tank is going sixty miles an hour down the road, how fast is the bottom of the tread going?"
This is a very theoretical question. Anyone that has spent time with any kind of track vehicle should know this.
Any individual track that is touching the ground is going exactly 0 miles per hour. What is really happening is the vehicle is changing relatively to the position of the track.

Bingo!
A helluva a lot of folks will argue about this until they are blue in the face, or until they bother to watch any video of any tracked vehicle...going at any speed. The bottom of the tread is still not moving, as the vehicle is rolling over it.

I cannot imagine how you 'd get to their ages, even in far more ordinary lives, without having a good number of people near to you having died. Leaving aside the odd suicides and planes crashes, normal attrition should give anyone pushing 70 a fair number of dead former co-workers and such. At 51 I probably have a few dozen among all the people I've known by name in the last thirty years but only know about a few who came to my attention or were still in contact when they died. The personnel of the small company I worked at in the late 80s must have had some attrition by now but I've long since lost contact with any of them.

Once the vehicle has rolled over the tread, it is picked up and hurled forward again, instantly going back to the spread of the vehicle, until it hits the ground again and stops dead, in its tracks, as it were

When it comes to Cruz, I started out enthused - in fact watched his entire speech announcing his candidacy. But his alignment with the weirdness of Glenn Beck has soured me considerably. Pandering to 'evangelicals' is a huge turnoff. Some of his more recent comments have also been disconcerting.
I'm still of the opinion that four years of Trump/Cruz is the best possible scenario, but unlikely with latest 'war of the wives'. Shame that. The two need each other, whether they realize it or not.

I was proud I did that, and it shaped my life moving forward. It was the best thing I ever did for myself.
My father had to co-sign my contract, and I had a tough time, but completed basic after losing a ton of weight and growing exponentially, physically and mentally.

"I'm still of the opinion that four years of Trump/Cruz is the best possible scenario"
Both men have repeatedly said acidic things about one another. To where it's going to be really difficult and weird to have a unity ticket.
The Reagan-Bush ticket was able to be successfully held together twice despite the bad blood between the two, but that was a very different era.
If the same ticket were run today, we would hear endlessly about how the VP candidate had derided the Presidential candidate's tax plans as "voodoo economics", from both paid ads and unpaid media editorializing.

I'm pretty sure realism has been banned here.
There are people who are promoting the idea that there is a path for Ted Cruz to become the republican party nominee.
Of course, no one can explain how this would happen, but everyone is expected to simply accept this fantasy. Somehow, the Establishment is gong to find the love for Ted that Glenn Beck has and everything is going to be fine.
It's magic.

But the attack, which killed 70 people and wounded at least 300 others, is only the latest in a recent string of violence at the hands of the group. Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, an Islamist militant group, has a vicious history of killings in Pakistan. The faction claimed it targeted Christians in at least two attacks since it was founded in 2014, in a country with a Muslim majority. It's also been hostile toward what it believes are enemies of the Taliban, such as Pakistan's military.
Reuters reports that Sunday's bombing the fifth by the group since December alone;underscored the group's efforts to raise its profile in Pakistan's landscape of fractured militants.

Or to put it differently, if half of the time a given link on the track is stationary on the ground, and half the time it is going 60 mph, the tank going 60 mph the entire time will arrive at its destination long before the track, which we know is not the case, they arrive at the same time.

If a tank is going sixty miles an hour down the road, how fast is the bottom of the tread going?Posted by: Bitter Jamie Farr
Sixty miles per hour.
If someone is simply sitting down in a bus traveling sixty miles per hour, they are still traveling sixty miles per hour. Every single part of the bus is traveling at that speed.
If one car, traveling at sixty miles per hour, runs into the back of a car traveling fifty miles per hour, it is the equivalent of a one mile per hour impact.
Two cars traveling in opposite directions, add the speeds together. Sixty miles per hour one direction, sixty miles per hour opposite direction, equals running into a brick wall at one hundred and twenty miles per hour.
Sixty miles per hour.

If one car, traveling at sixty miles per hour, runs into the back of a car traveling fifty miles per hour, it is the equivalent of a one mile per hour impact.
Two cars traveling in opposite directions, add the speeds together. Sixty miles per hour one direction, sixty miles per hour opposite direction, equals running into a brick wall at one hundred and twenty miles per hour.

"As New York moves to decriminalize low-level offenses, arguing
enforcement is 'rigged against communities of color,' other large cities
are coming under pressure from the Justice Department to do the same
thing."
This is on top of the fact that major metro PDs all across the country have been actively kiting their numbers for years now, to make the crime problem look smaller. "Losing" reports, writing up serious crimes as lesser ones, discouraging victims from filing a report, et cetera.
Here's how it's done in the President's home town:

So if the top of the track and the tank are both going 60 mph, how does the track get back to the front of the tank in order to plop back down on the ground again? It has to be going faster than the tank.

Or to put it differently, if half of the time a given link on the track is stationary on the ground, and half the time it is going 60 mph, the tank going 60 mph the entire time will arrive at its destination long before the track, which we know is not the case, they arrive at the same time.

Ummm. Well, the way I was taught about this, the single tread is simply rolled over by the tank, while it sits still. Then it's flung back up to speed at it is lifted off the ground by the moving vehicle. I have no proof of this, but it always made perfect sense to me. I never questioned the actual speed of the top of the track. Of course, I could be too stoopid to understand the physics of the whole thing, it's true!

Ummmm, uhhhh... nope.
Sorry.
Watch any video and you can plainly see the tread is sitting still on the ground as the vehicle drives over it. The tread is motionless while on the ground.

Perhaps two swallows carry the tank track forward using a bit of creeper vine tucked under their dorsal feathers?

Wanna piss off a leftist, identity politicking scumbag -- accept their 'disparate policing' theory -- but argue the only way to resolve it, without being a racist, is to throw MORE white assholes in jail. Severely restrict the plea bargain, put victims on parole boards, and get rid of alternatives to jail ("drug court").

Produce such a video. It sounds like a perspective issue rather than reality. The track has to be moving unless the tank is from the Gumby universe and is like the train with new track perpetually appearing as needed and disappearing as the train passes on.
And no, the wagon wheels aren't going backwards. That is a frame rate vs. RPM visual artifact.
A simple way to test this would be making one segment of tread a highly contrasting different color from the rest.

Good idea in theory but what is he going to call it when someone steals prescription drugs and OD's on them?
Posted by: The Great White Scotsman at March 28, 2016 06:02 AM (iONHu)
It's a terrible idea in theory. If someone commits suicide, should it be labelled a homicide because they used something someone else made or sold to them?
If someone accidentally drives off the road, should it be labeled a homicide because someone sold the driver a car?
This is a dangerous altering of definitions.

14 I'm currently listening to the podcast with Buck Dharma. The guitar solo in "Don't Fear the Reaper" has always been a favorite of mine. Awesome!

The riff or the solo. The solo's ok but the riff is magic, IMHO.

18, I am a RC and have been considering converting to Eastern Orthodox. They appear to be the last arm of the church that truly has stayed on the path and not been converged by SJW's.
I never believed in the prophecy of St. Malachy, but seriously, Pope CrazyBananas could very well be the last one.
Just a suggestion.
