Overnight Open Thread (6-15-2016)
Quote of the Day I - Wisdom of the Whoopi Edition
"It's about a lot of different things. It's about an amendment in the Constitution that people misread. The Constitution doesn't say you can carry hundreds of guns. It says you can protect your home. It says you can protect yourself. It doesn't say you can get 55 guns."
-- Whoopi Goldberg explaining the Second Amendment
Actually contra Whoopi it says that the government cannot interfere with your existing right to own and use guns - including as many as you want.
Even when liberals call for an "honest conversation" about this, that, or the other thing, what they really mean is they want everyone who disagrees with the prevailing progressive view to fall in line.Almost invariably, when I hear calls for "frank talk," "honest dialogue," or a new "national conversation," I immediately translate it as, "Let the next chapter of indoctrination begin." It's a way of luring dissenters from political correctness out into the open so they can be smashed over the head with a rock.
Remember, behind every obvious double standard is a hidden single standard. For instance, earlier this year, The New Yorker's Jane Mayer came out with a book attacking libertarian philanthropists Charles and David Koch called Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right. When asked by NPR's Steve Inskeep what the nefarious supervillains of her screed were really up to, she ominously explained, "What they're aiming at is changing the conversation in the country."
Well, so are left-wing billionaire George Soros and his minions. So is Mayer herself. So are all of these campus fraudsters and activists. And so is Katie Couric. But when someone on the other side of the ideological chasm questions the official narrative, they must be demonized or otherwise silenced. Why? Because the last thing progressives want is to start an honest conversation. They want to have their conversations - and only their conversations.
-- Jonah Goldberg

Bill O'Reilly Calls For More Gun Control
Including having all purchases of AR-15s be reported to the FBI. And he also 'explains' the Second Amendment. Just looking out for the folks here.
"There is too much gun crime in the USA, and high-powered weaponry is too easy to get," he said. "That's the fact. So let's deal with it. We all have the right to bear arms, but we don't have the right to buy and maintain mortars. Even if you feel threatened by gangsters or a New World Order. No bazookas, no Sherman tanks, no hand grenades."
"That's because the Second Amendment clearly states the government has a right to regulate militias, made up of individuals," he continued. "They have that right in the name of public safety. Therefore, Congress should debate what kind of weapons should be available for public sale. And the states, the individual states, should decide what kind of carry laws are good for their own people."
O'Reilly is apparently unaware that it's perfectly legal to buy tanks and mortars - in fact you can even buy a mortar online without any background checks whatsoever as long as you've got the $$$$.

NRA Statement on Terror Watchlists
Wednesday, June 15, 2016
Fairfax, Va.--The executive director of the National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislative Action, Chris W. Cox, released the following statement regarding terror watchlists:
We are happy to meet with Donald Trump. The NRA's position on this issue has not changed. The NRA believes that terrorists should not be allowed to purchase or possess firearms, period. Anyone on a terror watchlist who tries to buy a gun should be thoroughly investigated by the FBI and the sale delayed while the investigation is ongoing. If an investigation uncovers evidence of terrorist activity or involvement, the government should be allowed to immediately go to court, block the sale, and arrest the terrorist. At the same time, due process protections should be put in place that allow law-abiding Americans who are wrongly put on a watchlist to be removed. That has been the position of Sen. John Cornyn (R.-Tex.) and a majority of the U.S. Senate. Sadly, President Obama and his allies would prefer to play politics with this issue.

I remember having watched a few of his shows back in the Inside Edition days.
Smarmy, condescending jerkwad then, just as he is now.
Sadly, there's a certain demographic, likely the same one who thinks Shep Smith is a Newsman in the Murrow profile, who also thinks O'Riley really is, just looking out for them.
For ratings, for clicks, and for sales of his books, trinkets and ties.
His loss from the teevee would be no more noticeable than pulling one's finger from the ocean. With, of course, the hope of being replaced with a better show.

Thank you. I'm making a slow move because I want to vote up here in Michigan before I leave. Also, the riding season is short up here and usually a bit cooler and less humid. Lastly, I have some work to do to my house before putting it on the market. I haven't worked since the first part of April and I'm really enjoying that but I have to be careful I don't blow through my bank account

Look, I'm sure you've read up on this, but, are you saying that they used a 4004, then switched to an 8008? I am very dubious about that.
While it is true that the Altair was 8080 based, the Altair was just a computer that took advantage of its existence. There was no hook between Altair and Intel.

I'd never seen him before, but he's the one in charge of it. And he looks the part, almost right out of central casting for a character who would be doing something like that.
I'd never seen the immediate aftermath of it before with her. I did this morning, and it's "confused and bewildered". The short term memory gets completely scrambled and out to lunch for a few hours afterwards, and she was asking me the same thing over and over again.
She asked me "Now, just what is that man doing to me?" I thought, "Good question, Mama, what *is* that man doing to you...."
Now, she's eating. We stopped at a Waffle House afterwords. While confused and no short term memory, she puttered around pretty good, and was hungry. She's always loved eggs and bacon and stuff like that and she dug into it pretty good.
Around 7PM, about 12 hours afterwards, and from what I gather, that's when the aftereffect haze really subsides, I learned she has no memory of the past month. She was really wondering what happened to her and where she had been and why. She could tell we were being careful about what we said, and quickly deduced "it was mental".
I was afraid that would really worry and upset her. It did for a minute of two, but after that it was mostly she was just puzzled about it, couldn't believe something had happened of which she had no memory.
She asked me questions along all night until she went to bed.
Now, the zapping Friday will probably wipe all of today and tomorrow out as well, and I'll be having the same conversation with her late Friday.
This is what it is.

You don't like the 2nd amendment fine. Then the way to change it is to pass another amendment. Not stomp your feet and pretend the 2nd doesn't say what it says.
It's been done four different times regard to other constitutional issues. They didn't try to find meaning where there was none.
Imagine if you try to say that the 5th didn't extend the right against self incrimination in really serious cases involving multiple murders or treason. Because serious.

I was watching the live feed and the dialog between the crew and Houston has stuck with me. I've tried to find transcripts and have been unable to find the dialog as I remember it.
Crew : Alert on the radar altimeter.
Houston: Hit reset
Crew : Got another alert
Houston : Ignore it
They were about thirty seconds to a minute or so from touch down. I remember thinking they were in trouble. Armstrong landed visually using sight lines etched on the window, which was also a back up plan for navigation. They had calculated trajectories based on sun, moon, and stars using the hash marks on the window.
And it was the 4004. That I was able to find, though the link is long lost. I was not able to find an admission that this one incident led directly to the 8080 as the industry was advancing rapidly.
Another point to remember. We went to the moon with engineers educated in the forties and fifties, before computers and CNC machines.
It realy is a shame that we haven't gone back.

But I don't get why they, including the feminazis, buy into that. These are real people who actually believe that shit. Why? For instance, those ridiculously high "college campus rapes" statistics we always hear about.
I went away to college for 4 years. I did my share of stupid behavior, drinking, meeting guys, partying, walking around alone, and so on. I was NEVER threatened with rape. I didn't know one single woman who was raped.
I'm not saying there weren't a few criminals who went to colleges at night and cornered women and raped them. Because, if you are a criminal, a college campus is a perfect place to look for victims. There are women walking around alone all day and all night. I know it happened occasionally. But this idea that male college students are raping girls right and left is just outrageous, and I don't understand why these women believe it.
There are a few women who have been raped, and it is a terrible thing. But I don't understand how anyone who talks to real people can think that a high percentage of women have had this happen to them.

We lost him a little over a year ago. I lost my wife in 2012 after a long decline. Tired of being stressed out and kind of looking forward to cutting grass for a living and repairing the equipment.

I had a few minutes free today and ducked into a small (really small) local gun store in central Kentucky. They had maybe 6 AR pattern rifles on the rack, typical small store prices, about $1000 each. Some were flat top, some had pop up sights. Only one had the A2 carry handle and front sight assembly.
Online sellers look to be holding steady. Palmetto State has theirs for $700.

Part of it just pure hate. A really big part of it, especially on the abuse side, is money. The domestic violence industry - and it is an industry - needs this narrative to keep its coffers full, in no small part with taxpayer money.

Sorry to hear about your losses.
If I didn't have to worry about anything, I'd just cut grass all day.
It's been nice going to the park here on New Year's Day, and driving around with your window down in January and February.
As far as the heat here (95-97 today, will be pushing 100 Fri./Sat.), that just means there's no snow on the horizon. Good enough for me.

You probably wouldn't. Very old reference to the acrtress who played "Roz Russell" on "Night Court." One day she took a cab ride and a cab driver mistook her for "Oprah Humphrey.".....Oprah Winfrey.

I do indeed remember Night Court (mmmm Markie Post). I don't remember that episode. Damn funny show.

Well, my mother has been home for two days now. Early this morning, we
had to take her for another zapping. It was supposed to be the last one,
but the puh-sychiatrist in charge decided he wants to do one more, on
Friday.
I'd never seen him before, but he's the one in charge
of it. And he looks the part, almost right out of central casting for a
character who would be doing something like that.
I'd never
seen the immediate aftermath of it before with her. I did this morning,
and it's "confused and bewildered". The short term memory gets
completely scrambled and out to lunch for a few hours afterwards, and
she was asking me the same thing over and over again.
She asked me "Now, just what is that man doing to me?" I thought, "Good question, Mama, what *is* that man doing to you...."
Now, she's eating. We stopped at a Waffle House afterwords. While
confused and no short term memory, she puttered around pretty good, and
was hungry. She's always loved eggs and bacon and stuff like that and
she dug into it pretty good.
Around 7PM, about 12 hours
afterwards, and from what I gather, that's when the aftereffect haze
really subsides, I learned she has no memory of the past month. She was
really wondering what happened to her and where she had been and why.
She could tell we were being careful about what we said, and quickly
deduced "it was mental".
I was afraid that would really worry
and upset her. It did for a minute of two, but after that it was mostly
she was just puzzled about it, couldn't believe something had happened
of which she had no memory.
She asked me questions along all night until she went to bed.
Now, the zapping Friday will probably wipe all of today and tomorrow
out as well, and I'll be having the same conversation with her late
Friday.
This is what it is.

I remember how amazed I was, when I first moved here, that sweating actually works like it's supposed to, instead of just leaving you with a soaked-through shirt that'll never dry and an even worse overheating problem.

A lot of these people don't talk to real people anymore. That's exactly the problem, right there. They've been divided and conquered, pigeonholed into a neat little demographic niche, which gives them little connection to almost everyone but their small subset of humanity. Thus hipster coffee shop types only interact with other hipster coffee shop types, BLM types only interact with BLM types, radical feminists only talk to other radical feminists, etc.

"A Panzerfaust is not all that complicated, basically being a length of pipe, a projectile that consists of a length of broomstick with some fins nailed to one end and a warhead on the other end, and a charge of a couple of ounces of black powder.
What is the attitude of the BATFE to assembling those components and launching projectiles, assuming that the warhead is inert? Is the thing a muzzle loading gun? It loads from the muzzle and it uses a black powder charge. Is it a destructive device requiring expensive and hard to obtain license to be legal?

Rant on: I married a man. A real man, not some pantywaist lacky of the rich commie bastard who paid for his ass to end up on the White House. A real man. The kind who belches after supper, who leaves his whiskers on the edge of the sink, who uses duct tape once in a while but usually just fixes the damned thing, or replaces it if necessary. And he knows the difference.
That stupid bint in the White House wouldn't know a real man if he slapped her silly, but of course, he never would. A real man has more sense than to waste time with that sort of "woman" (read: bitch).
And a real woman knows her man, loves her man, and puts up with all his man stuff because it is part of who he is, and she loves who he is. She doesn't try to change him to be her best girlfriend. She doesn't try to be in charge (he is), and she sure as hell brags on him when he is not around.

I've made several trips down since March. Long drive and I'm not as young as I used to be. When I was stationed there I worked on the flightline around the jets. Every quarter and sometimes more often, we played war. South Florida sucked when you're wearing a chemical warfare suit and a gas mask. But I'm 25 years older now and I guess I'll find out when I get down there to stay.

Told one of the ass monkeys he looked like he worked as Jerry Sandusky's assistant in the Penn State showers.

Once, for my sins, I served as dean, and had a radical feminists come in to bitch to me (yes!) that her co-workers, while civil to her during the workday, avoided her like the plague thereafter. They never invited her to come out with them for a drink, and after all she'd done for them, carefully pointing out any instance in which they'd made a sexist remark.
I looked at her the way people look at Ted Koppel's hair, and told her I'd be sure to give the matter all the attention it deserved.
Apparently she thought she was ingratiating herself with her co-workers by correcting any instance of incorrect thought. Amazing.

Maybe if I were almost done, and needed only another 20 minutes to complete the job, yeah. But I got the sector done that I wanted to do, and there are several yet to do, and then it's time to start over again. So I do about an hour per day during the growth spurt, and am never fully caught up, but the place looks cared-for.

I don't know if it is still the case but in Japan contraceptives used to be either illegal or greatly restricted and abortion was the only legal way for adults who had sex to avoid children. I believe that things were similar in the Soviet Union. One of the reasons that the Soviet birth rate was so low was that after multiple abortions many women became infertile.

nerdygirl's post reminds me of the night a couple of months ago when I heard load knocking at my door at 1:30 in the morning, while I was fast asleep.
I live in a 24-unit apartment building, and while it's in a nice suburban area and most of the tenants are decent, hard-working folks, anyone who's lived in a multi-unit dwelling knows that some weird shit can sometimes happen. I figured it was someone who had too much to drink and was knocking at the wrong door.
Looked out my peephole and it was two cops. Holy shit! My heart was pounding. Then again, I'm a law-abiding citizen who had done nothing wrong and I was fast asleep since it was 1:30 in the freaking morning. I said f--k it and went back to bed. They kept up the knocking for about 20 minutes, off and on, then finally left.
Found out later from other tenants that a guy in the building had been found dead and it was initially thought to be suspicious in nature, so they were canvassing the building. Toxicology reports later showed he had died of an overdose. Again, not a typical event in my building, but shit happens everywhere. Guy had a job, nice car, all that. Must have been a secret addict.
But really, canvassing the neighborhood at 1:30 in the morning? It couldn't wait? It's not like there was any threat of a serial killer running around the building. He obviously had no wounds since it turned out to be an OD. He apparently had some "friends" with him when he OD'd and they robbed his place before taking off and leaving him there to die. The theft aspect must be why they thought it was suspicious.

It depends on how proficient you think your knife fighting skills are and consider that you might be facing somebody who has spent time in prison developing that sort of proficiency.

stronger man even if I have a knife. A firearm, on the other hand, makes
physical strength less important.

I'm relying on the surprise element that a "victim" might be armed and active. "Having a plan to kill everyone you meet" has its advantages.

I greet people with a hearty "It could be worse!"
When they ask why, I reming them that it - unlike 'Good Morning' - is always true.

Yeah. You are right. I should just expect the worse and let it go. Not worth expending power over.

The more they hit blue towns and succeed, and red towns and fail, the more they'll illuminate the failure of the blue model.

Is it a "turtles all the way down" worse; or a, "eat a live frog for breakfast" worse?

It's nothing. I'm the Eternal Optimist living in the Grand High Exalted Pessimistic World. Hard to be that way with all the pressure.

Mortar tubes wear out anyway, and because of the pressures involved should not be fucked with. My company's pair of 60mm tubes saw so much training use in the run up to the Iraq invasion that they were traded in for new ones before we left.

if you don't let them know someone's home, you might find them in the side, or in back, trying to break in, because they think the house is empty.

4 or 5 months back, Andrew Braca was arguing with some Philosophy PhD re: Stand Your Ground. She banned him from Twitter for telling her she wasn't using any legal definition of SYG.
She teaches at Wash U - my alma mater.

Woke yesterday to find we had almost 2 inches of rain overnite. Will save me from watering the new plants for at least a week. Of course I had watered them the day before because all of the weather guessers were telling me about a third of an inch.

I kind of liked all the Moron dating advice from yesterday. It's like we're some kind of mutant Ann Landers that farts, and drinks a lot.

There's the United States, and then there's the rest of the world, where
human nature and history is an unbroken string of nobility, compassion,
and tolerance. Whatever was bad, we did it worse; whatever was good,
we sought to kill. Whatever we accomplished was stolen or overshadowed
by our sins.

The Prosecution has rested in the Officer Goodson trial for Freddy Grey's death. No evidence was presented to show the police van being operated in the manner of a "Rough Ride". 45 minutes of video of the van moving through the city, with Freddy inside, and not a single moment of reckless operation.
And I suspect that Islam still directs it's followers to kill Gays.
