Overnight Open Thread (6-1-2016)
Quote of the Day - Get Over It Edition
Yes, the thought of male genitalia in girls' locker rooms - and vice versa - might be distressing to some. But the battle for equality has always been in part about overcoming discomfort - with blacks sharing facilities, with gays sharing marriage - then realizing that it was not nearly so awful as some people imagined.
-- from an editorial by the Charlotte Observer
"As a junior Senator I preside over the Senate, I usually do it in the morning, which means I am forced to listen to the bitter vulgar incoherent ramblings of the Minority Leader. Normally, like every other American, I ignore them. I can't ignore them today, however." He also says, ""The happy byproduct of fewer days in session in the Senate is that this institution will be cursed less with his cancerous leadership."
Finally someone calls out this vile institution-damaging POS who can't be gone soon enough.
Why Nazism Was Socialism and Why Socialism Is Totalitarian
The identification of Nazi Germany as a socialist state was one of the many great contributions of Ludwig von Mises.When one remembers that the word "Nazi" was an abbreviation for "der Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiters Partei - in English translation: the National Socialist German Workers' Party - Mises's identification might not appear all that noteworthy. For what should one expect the economic system of a country ruled by a party with "socialist" in its name to be but socialism?
Nevertheless, apart from Mises and his readers, practically no one thinks of Nazi Germany as a socialist state. It is far more common to believe that it represented a form of capitalism, which is what the Communists and all other Marxists have claimed.
The basis of the claim that Nazi Germany was capitalist was the fact that most industries in Nazi Germany appeared to be left in private hands.
What Mises identified was that private ownership of the means of production existed in name only under the Nazis and that the actual substance of ownership of the means of production resided in the German government. For it was the German government and not the nominal private owners that exercised all of the substantive powers of ownership: it, not the nominal private owners, decided what was to be produced, in what quantity, by what methods, and to whom it was to be distributed, as well as what prices would be charged and what wages would be paid, and what dividends or other income the nominal private owners would be permitted to receive.
But what specifically established de facto socialism in Nazi Germany was the introduction of price and wage controls in 1936. These were imposed in response to the inflation of the money supply carried out by the regime from the time of its coming to power in early 1933. The Nazi regime inflated the money supply as the means of financing the vast increase in government spending required by its programs of public works, subsidies, and rearmament. The price and wage controls were imposed in response to the rise in prices that began to result from the inflation.
The effect of the combination of inflation and price and wage controls is shortages, that is, a situation in which the quantities of goods people attempt to buy exceed the quantities available for sale.
Read the full article to see how actually enforcing these wage and price controls inexorably leads to a totalitarian government. Because ultimately the only effective way to make people act contrary to their own personal economic interests over the long haul is through fear, intimidation, and brutal punishment. The exact same logic applies to any attempts to enact real socialism. The article also covers why this didn't apply to the 'socialist' Scandinavian states. (Thanks to JTT)
You Seem Like a Cool Dude So Like Are You a Friend of Abe?
Clint Howard, a longtime character actor, found himself seated next to stand-up comedian Tom Dreesen on a flight back to Los Angeles from a charity golf tournament several years ago. The two men began to talk politics, and Dreesen asked if Howard had heard of Friends of Abe. Howard, the younger brother of director Ron Howard, said he had always wanted to become a member but didn't have an in. Dreesen gave him the phone number of actor Gary Sinise and told him to call. Not long after, Howard rang up Sinise. "I was waiting for you, brother," Sinise said.

Cellphones Do Not Cause Brain Cancer Says 29-Year Study
"The study examines the incidence of brain cancer in the Australian population between 1982 to 2013. The study pitted the prevalence of mobile phones among the population -- starting at 0 percent -- against brain cancer rates, using data from national cancer registration data. The results showed a very slight increase in brain cancer rates among males, but a stable level among females. There were significant increases in over -70s, but began in 1982, before cellphones were even a thing."
The fact that Australia requires that all incidences of cancer be registered adds weight to this study's results.

Remembering Phil Hartman's Greatness With Answering Machine Messages He Left For A Fan In 1993
It's now been 18 years since Hartman was murdered in his sleep by his wife. This 1993 recording of answering machine messages he made for a fan is a reminder of how funny he could be even in throw-away bits. And also sad at the end. He seemed to have been a genuinely nice guy who was loved by everyone he worked with (with the apparent exception of Rob Schneider who he once threatened to shoot in the head).

Exactly. It's never about the thing itself, it's about the control.
For example, Islam. They don't give two shits about Muslims, or their beliefs, etc. But they can force you to change your entire lifestyle to accommodate someone else's barbarous culture. They enjoy that, therefore they try to jam as many as they can into every Western country.

Krupp Industries is perhaps the most well documented participant in such. Krupp didn't just make high-grade steel for armaments and forged rail-car wheels and rails. They also designed and made the ovens used at Auschwitz and other camps.
Go look up the blueprints of those ovens, and you'll see that they're major, multi-stage and multi-station industrial process lines. The most often seen B&W pics make 'em look like just slightly oversized and mis-used pizza ovens.
But these systems covered the area the size of a football field, with highly complex forced air combustion and equally complex exhaust and purging systems.
They're the furthest thing from a slight alteration of a commercial design. They're purpose-made for the mass immolation of masses of the freshly murdered from the camps.
And Krupps sought out this relationship with the Nazi regime.
Fortunately, our U.S. firms aren't involved with that degree of outright evil, but the foundations of an inseparability between Government and Industry is clearly evident here, already.
The parallels with U.S. firms such as G.E. and General Motors are disturbing, to say the least.
How's that for a restful night's sleep?

Exactly. The blending of business and government into an inseparable, singular ruling elite is a point when Capitalism has stopped and Fascism has begun. Corrupt industries will always go for this arrangement, because it gives them protection from competition, and officially sanctions a monopoly or oligopoly. From the perspective of the business, it's essentially the abolition of risk.

Fortunately, our U.S. firms aren't involved with that degree of outright evil, but the foundations of an inseparability between Government and Industry is clearly evident here, already.
The parallels with U.S. firms such as G.E. and General Motors are disturbing, to say the least.

If you concentrate power in the central state, someone is going to grab and use that power, be they party apparatchiks or a business entity.
"Social Democracy" or other "power to the people" nonsense does nothing but give some an excuse to take from others.
If you want to prevent evil people from taking control of the centralized power... just do away with that concentration of centralized power. No power = nothing to corruptly grab.

Yes, Farben was, indeed. They were very heavily involved on the chemical end of the equation, too. If a memory of my history books serves, they were the industrial player on the gas chambers and related processes.
The Bayer Company (yeah, the aspirin guys), made an awful lot of Zyklon B, and similar chemicals.
Point is, when you can't tell the big company from the Big Government, problems are already way the hell past the raised eyebrow stage.

Had a fun day off - first one in a while - and the weather was, for a change, not alternating between unbearably muggy and storming like the second week of the Deluge.
That beast of a camera - I need to name it, really, I do, but haven't settled a suitable moniker for the thing - required me to get a new tripod and head system.
I knew what I was looking for, and prepared to drop an amount just this side of $1k; yeah, i'd made my peace with the idea....
Anywho, the local St. Vincent de Paul folks have a little thrift-and-junk shop that helps support their efforts, and I tend to swing in there every now and then - they have some good stuff.
And, as it was on the way to the camera shop, I thought I'd stop in there first, if only to give myself a chance to delay the inevitable.....
And what is in the window as I walk up? A Gitzo G1340 tripod with an Arca Swiss Monoball head - a rig far, far better than what I'd decided to pick up.....
I walked in, smiling, and addressed the lady behind the counter.
"Good morning, ma'am. That tripod there. Yes, i'll take it."
I ended up spending less than 1/4 of what the tripod alone would have cost me....
So overjoyed at the bargain was I, that I dropped a twenty in the donation box next to the register.
Woot and woot, as the kids say

But today, she'd gone back in the hole some, and wasn't too talkative.
I just don't know. Don't have a clue what the outcome is going is going to be. And dear old Dad, I don't know how much more he can take. I fear he's going to be up there with her, or at least in a similar facility somewhere.

Eh...
Making weapons for the national army is one thing. I'm not going to hold tank factories against Porsche, for instance. Or blame Mitsubishi because its (at the time) parent company built the Zero. They were a part of the country, and building weapons for your country's military is expected.
The problems arise in the things that some of the others have been mentioning. Being associated with the Holocaust, for instance. Or the beliefs of the owners of the company. Someone above mentioned that the Porsche family were committed Nazis. *That* would be something to hold against the company.

Some of you might be familiar with the game 'This War of Mine'. It's a game that puts you in control of a small group of refugees hiding out in a besieged city. You're responsible for helping the group to scavenge food and supplies needed to survive the siege (and the lengthy cold period). It's inspired by the Siege of Sarajevo, and can get very depressing at times as the members of your group starve to death, or slowly die due to an illness or infection.
It's an interesting game.
The developers released a DLC for it today. It adds kids. Hoo boy...
On another note, one of my brothers forwarded a story about a blind man who's suing McDonalds due to the company's policy of only allowing cars to use the drive-thru.

Exactly. That's all you can do. Humanity's relationship to power guarantees that any power created will be abused, and probably sooner rather than later. That's been true throughout history, and it's an essential truth of human nature.
If the power isn't created, it can't be abused.

Termites.
The preceding day, I went under the house into the crawlspace, and used appx 4x the manufacturer's rated coverage of the Spectracide Yard & Garden insect killer.
One and one half, one-quart bottles, via hose mounted sprayer, covering a 1,400 ft. area. I made the ground under the house into a muddy, soupy, Superfund Site.
The day before I did the Spectracide, I had gone under the house with a pump sprayer full of Borax solution, and treated all of the exposed wood. Very heavily sprayed, twice.
Leading up to this, I took a punch-awl, made holes between every stud in the house, and sprayed copious amounts of Bengal's Roach Killer via the WD-40 type aerosol straw through the awl-holes.
Back to the fumigation.
Raid makes a product called The Fumigator.
It is not an aerosol "bomb".
Rather, it is a water activated chemical, where one drops a canister of granulated solids into a heat-resistant plastic cup, where you've added about 1/4 inch level of water.
About thirty seconds later, it's growling and hissing, and in thirty more seconds, it's belching a very, very fine, deadly white smoke.
Those smoke particles are but a millionth the size and weight of the smallest droplet from an aerosol bomb.
The smoke lingers in the air for hours, and penetrates the smallest crevice, going where the bugs are in the process.
Yeah, I used 3x as many as recommended for the volume of the house and attic.
I don't have the thousands and thousands of dollars asked by the professional exterminators. Plus, they make their money by wanting to come back for endless visits.
So instead, I delivered OVERKILL, and should be pretty much a "once and done" process.
Still, I'll spray the Spectracide and Borax under the house, periodically.
But that Raid Fumigator?
Turned the house, literally, into a gas chamber.
Makes tonight's conversation, just a bit more in-focus, you might say.
Oh, and there are no more signs whatsoever, of any termite, or any other insect to be found.
Had to shelter us and the cats out in the detached garage during the process, and for a couple hours after, to let the subsequently opened windows clear the air.
Now, I've been repairing woodwork and sheetrock damaged by the *$& bugs.
That the Nazis did this to human beings though, was distilled evil of the foulest sort.
Had the Manhattan Project borne fruit before VE Day, I'm sure Berlin would be an entirely different scenic experience than is known today.

Is borax solution efficacious for killing bugs? Or does it make the wood toxic to the termites? I thought the deal with borax was to spread the powder, which, having a sweet taste, induces ants to take it back to their colony and feed it to the grubs, which then die.

Hiroshima is one of the nicest cities I've visited in Japan. Note: I've like them all, in their own way, none were bad. Hiroshima has a nice vibe, lots of greenery, of course is entirely modern - but without suffering some of the crappy gray aesthetics of many German cities that were also "redeveloped" from the air.

------You're thinking of Unit 731, the Japanese bio warfare group that experimented on humans in Manchukuo. Instead of trying the doctors for war crimes, the US quietly gave them immunity from prosecution to grab their expertise. They called the subjects of the experiments "logs" and subjected them to some of the worst experiments that can be imagined. There are no firm numbers but the death toll is estimated to be between 3,000 and 250,000 people killed during these experiments.

I screwed-around and over-prepared and fixed my car's AC today. I had tried to depress the valve stems and didn't get a hiss, so I thought I'd have to pump the system to vacuum before charging. So I bought vacuum pump oil, and new adapters and hoses. When I pulled the valve stems to change 'em, however, I got a hiss -- so I blocked each one off with my thumb until I could put the new valve stems in.
The EPA and California go apeshit over every release of freon into the environment, but I'm old enough to remember freon propellant for hairspray. My grandfather told me about troubleshooting circuits by submerging them in freon -- shorts would bubble. By any reasonable measure, our releases of CFC have decreased by 9,999/10,000 -- and current threats to the ozone layer are well-nigh delusional -- but the enviroweenies are up in arms over every little hiss.....despite none of them being old enough to remember what the problem was in the first place.

When this house was built in late '07/early '08, it was insulated with spray-foam in the walls, under the roof deck and under the subfloors.
It's pretty much airtight, as much as a house can be.
A bit more taxing on the HVAC to not have a vented attic, but the upside is an attic cool enough to use for long-term food storage, etc.
Hell, I could build a 12'x12' room up there, with 8 ft. ceiling. Just that there's no room in the house footprint for a staircase, other than the pull down attic stairs.
Point is..... the gas chamber thing seems to have worked. I'll keep an eye out for further evidence of the *$@ bugs, but I've been doing all the standard inspection tricks, and there's now no sign of 'em, where once there was.

These paintballs to included an indelible organic dye that bonds to human skin and won't wash off; methylene blue is one such. Also a small amount of a blister agent, like mustard gas.

Japan was probably too busy "culturally appropriating" from the US.

Haven't been to Nagasaki yet, though the setting on the water, with hills, probably ensures that it's a decent-looking place.
Speaking of which, we eagerly await Maet's comparative reviews of the bomb museums in the two nuke cities. My review of the Hiroshima museum - "not as bad as I expected".
One awesome thing in the Hiroshima museum is some fulsome emotional eye-rolling b.s. screed up on one wall in huge letters (English and Japanese) - standard issue crap about human suffering and destruction blah blah blah and something about what o what will mankind do to recover?
Directly opposite, other side of the hall, a huge picture-window makes up the entire wall. Through it, one views the beautiful parkland/greenery and beyond the gleaming beautiful modern skyline. I recall thinking (probably saying, to the pre-wife) ..... "ummm, THAT is what you do? (that is, rebuild bigger and better, and move on)"

The "envelope" here is what the builder done did when the building was being built.
Problem is, the IDIOT BUILDER used an open cell foam product.
Given that Hurricane Ike donated three inches of salt water into the house, you can imagine that the subfloor foam was soaked, and indeed, it was.
After replacing all of the subfloors, and installing new flooring, I've got conventional fiberglass installed under the floors, for now.
I've got a good foam-contractor identified, and will have the fiberglass removed and discarded, and closed cell foam sprayed in it's place.
And that, won't absorb water.
The house sits on ground 5 ft. above sea level, and the deck-level above the stilts is 4'9".
Hurricane Ike brought some damn water the hell above the 100 yr. flood line.
Still. One year of payments left till the house is free and clear. So, there's that.

Used to be, folks might be declared "out law" -- meaning that they were excluded from protections the law had for civilized folk. If you killed someone who was "out law", their heirs and assigns couldn't seek remedy or recompense in law for their death.

And the GM plant made more B-24s than the original Consolidated plant in San Diego.
That old Consolidated plant was right at Lindbergh Field, which is San Diego's primary commercial airport.

The very last surviving B-24 assembly building is still there, painted white, home of the Navy's SPAWAR electronic command. I recall - not THAT many years ago - when there were still several of the B-24 and PBY/Catalina buildings were there at the east end of Lindbergh.
The SPAWAR building was previously used by GD for Tomahawk cruise missile work and was one of the on-site inspection locations for the Soviets included in the annexes to the INF Treaty.

Look up the data. Lots more B-24s made than B-17s.
The Liberator was faster at max load, had a heavier max load, and a longer range at max load.
That's why.
Pity though, the B-24 wasn't half the bullet sponge that the B-17 was. The '17 often flew home with damage that would've blown half a squadron of '24s outta the sky.
So, we revere the B-17, for it's apparent heroics.
But the B-24 heroes simply didn't return home to tell about it.
And that's why there are a few times more B-17 flying relics these days, and I think only one B-24 to compare.
But to the crews that flew 'em, whether or not they made it home?
Revered, and that, far more than the planes that they flew.

Quite good at what they were built for, as you note - in terms of range, speed, payload - but I think I've read where after long missions in weather the young pilots would return completely exhausted from wrestling the planes every step of the way.
Quite a few B-17s were used for research and training of various kinds for some time after the war, even though the "type" was clearly obsolete. Not sure the B-24s were used the same way.
Last surviving PB-4Y Privateer - the maritime patrol variant with the single tall rudder, all of them built in SD - is now a water tanker/fire-fighting plane based in AZ, I think. Saw it at the centennial of naval aviation event at North Island a few years ago.

Well, I spoke to the guy in March at the El Centro air show, and first flight was 2 weeks ago, so that makes sense.
As noted in the news video, it is the only PBJ still in existence (true PBJ, was used as such during the war - though it never left the US).

Gotta say, one of the most surprising events of my life was the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact.
What makes it all the more surprising was that, except in Romania and Jugoslavia, it was largely bloodless.
I'd have expected to see Politburo members torn to pieces at the hands of the people, but it just didn't happen.
I guess everybody was too tired, broke, hungry, and demoralized, and just wanted to get on with trying to salvage what they could.

But also, the seemingly built-in passive mindset, acceptance of authority, played a part. And the fact that while the tired edifice of Soviet power just collapsed (or whithered away ..... take that, Marxists), the underlying power structure didn't always do so.
Same people, in many cases. Life was still dominated by centralized institutions.
The tired, sick Soviet system just collapsed. It wasn't pushed aside by anything else in particular.

Socialism will always turn into feudalism by another name because of certain aspects of human nature. GK Chesterton once observed that there has never been an aristocracy that doesn't behave exactly like a small gang. This also goes with what I was saying earlier, that any power that is created will be abused, it's never a question of if, but when - and the when is usually "as soon as someone can get away with it".
Socialism's promise of material equality for all requires that the government have the power to seize all of the wealth in the name of redistribution. However, once all of the wealth is seized, the government agency in charge of redistribution (and Dear Leader by virtue of being the ultimate authority over that agency) becomes the aristocracy by default.
Invariably, no matter what the intention of those who instituted the system, the result is that humanity has reverted to the mean, with a wealthy ruling elite, starving masses, and nothing between.

Which is why as far as I see it, the people who are using drones to smuggle in flash drives full of Western media (movies, TV shows, etc.) into North Korea are doing God's work. It shatters the propaganda of the regime just by doing what it does, and has become fairly popular with the young people there. It kind of primes them for accepting that people can live without the Kims.

The other thing I wonder about is what will happen - or be done - to the thousands and tens of thousands of agents of state repression there.
The Germans, we de-Nazified, more or less. The soviets didn't even pretend to oust the Party apparatus from the machinery of the state. But the Norks - all those prison-camp guards, all those propagandists and loyal party members, the guys who carried out the mortar-executions, the dog-executions, the flamethrower executions, the ones who whipped and beat children in the camp mines and factories, the ones who orchestrated and perfected the instruments of inhumanity and horror.....

Sure, mass emigration to the south and to China in the short run, with associated problems.
But the south is rich enough to cushion/manage things. Sort of like West Germany - though it really hit their finances and the east just isn't the same. Probably take a long time for the north to get fully integrated.

I don't remember that one as clearly as I remember the fall of the wall. The people dancing on top of it, tearing it down with any means they could lay their hands on, the champagne bottles.
I was only seven, but I grasped the significance of it. That people abused by their own governments were tasting freedom for the first time. I imagined such things happening all over the world. A world of Little Americas, full of people who loved freedom. Maybe even a time that the Free World would mean the entire world, and filled me with an optimism for the future that has been dashed so many times since as to make me the eternal skeptic that I am now.

I can see the state sort of dissolving quietly beyond the core security organs. Unless the ignorance/brainwashing is as deep and wide as seems, uniquely in NK today, possible.
In the USSR enough time had passed since the darkest days of terror that by 1991, not many people had direct experience of the really serious stuff. Mostly a dull, grinding, cynical and corrupt machine that degraded everyone. Only a handful had recent experience of torture or anything approaching a gulag.
In NK it's ongoing and a lot fresher, so a little Romania-style romp might in fact be a good call, at least for a short time.

I've discovered a logical flaw:
According to this person, men fart louder than women causing women to intentionally fart more softly than men.
But if women must intenionally fart more softly than men, it means that prior to the man farting, their farts were equal in volume to the man's.
But if their farts were initially equal in volume, then it cannot be said that the man, by virtue of the volume of his farts, was acting in an egregious manner. Indeed, his farts would not even have been remarked upon as unusual, were he sitting in the midst of a group of farting women.
In short, the shit between this leftard's ears has resulted in the release of a cloud of toxic brain gas in the midst of polite company. In short, the argument stinks.

The political and economic policies are identical. Totalitarian rule for the purpose of central control of the economy by INDIRECT means, rather than the Communist version of Marxism where the state owns the means of production.
Obamacare is a perfect example - health insurers are nominally still independent companies, but the Secretary of the HHS "shall determine" literally every detail of how their 'business' operates. The Communist / Bernie Sanders model of course would be "single-payer".

Women like them make men like me decide that it's perfectly okay to be single for the next 5 years. I really need to get out and try the dating thing again one of these days, but every time I see what's on the market, I decide otherwise.

The company is a firmly left political actor and not only that, it's actively aiding the internal security services in totalitarian countries, by giving them access to real time information on all tweets published on the platform along with associated identifying tags. Interestingly, the United States government does not enjoy the same access, so terrorists need not worry.

"Rope a dope". - Ali would drop his left, his opponent would close and hook or jab to the unprotected left. Ali was fast enough that as soon as they would close to the left he would uppercut from the left, knocking out the unwary. Barry doesn't read so well, and apparently never watched professional boxing in the 60's or 70's -thus "okie dokie".

Does that mean the two crusty sides are facing e the cheese and the less cooked side is face out?

Another picture for you, dear lady, carrying on from my post yesterday about the murder of Bill Taylor:
http://goo.gl/s6mkv0
Mabel Normand was known as "the female Chaplin" and had a huge success in comedy parts, both on her own and, most famously, with Roscoe Arbuckle in their "Fatty and Mabel" series of Keystone shorts. A noted party girl, she begged Taylor for help in quitting cocaine, and he was instrumental not only in weaning her off the stuff, but in running off the dope peddlers who tried to re-hook her (which was considered as a motive for Taylor's murder).
Normand already had a tarnished rep because of her wild habits and her connection to Taylor (they were rumored to be lovers - not true, as Taylor was gay - and Normand was also briefly a suspect in the murder) further damaged her image. Audiences were also tiring of her, and her successive movies lost money. Another scandal, where her chauffeur shot a man at a party - finally finished off whatever career Normand might have had and she died of tuberculosis in 1930 at age 37.

What does allowing mentally delusional men into females' bathrooms and locker rooms have to do with equality? Who is equal to whom? Are the females "equal" to the males with the mental problems?
Opposition to these laws isn't opposition to "equality," it's opposition to insanity. (The insanity of the politicians proposing the laws). Gender isn't a "social construct," it's a verifiable biological fact. Females don't have penises, testicles, or XY chromosomes. Anybody who does have those things doesn't belong in a girls' locker room. And men don't have ovaries, uteruses, vaginas, and they don't give birth (no matter what People Magazine keeps trying to tell you).
It's ironic that the Dims, the self-styled "party of science," are the ones pushing these anti-science laws. There is a helluva lot more scientific, verifiable proof of the existence of genders than there is of "global warming."

MPPP, that's fascinating. I went in search of more info on her, and happened to come across this. Stevie Nicks actually wrote a song about Mabel, and how she saw her life paralleling Mabel's back in her wild days.
