Overnight Open Thread 7/1/16 (tmi3rd)
Good evening once again, Morons and Moronettes, and hello from the slightly bored AoSHQ Weather Desk. I'm tmi3rd, and I'll be filling in for CDR M tonight, as the real world intrudes yet again. Plenty of stuff to talk about, so let's get to it!
So here's the unofficial Canadian anthem:
So Chris Arnade has a very good piece in Medium on why Trump voters are not idiots.
Frustrated with broken promises, they gave up on the knowable and went with the unknowable. They chose Trump, because he comes with a very high distribution. A high volatility. (He also signals in ugly ways, that he might just move them, and only them and their friends, higher with his stated policies).
As any trader will tell you, if you are stuck lower, you want volatility, uncertainty. No matter how it comes. Put another way. Your downside is flat, your upside isn’t. Break the system.
The elites loathe volatility. Because, the upside is limited, but the downside isn’t. In option language, they are in the money. To put it in very non-geeky language: A two-tiered system has one set of people who want to keep the system, and another that doesn’t. Each one is voting for their own best interests.
So the piece makes some good points. I'd like to add a few...
First of all, as a New Orleanian, going back to the storm in 2005, one of the things that really jumped out was the frustration with rank incompetence in government. Largely, people don't mind self-appointed elites running the show, until their incompetence directly affects them.
Predictably, the media ran cover for their protected party and made it look like it was purely a federal failing, but it cost Kathleen Blanco her job (thank God), and gave political cover for Ray Nagin (whom I used to work for) to be prosecuted.
What I see on a regular basis coming out of academia and media (as a reminder, I'm a veteran of NBC, CBS, and CNN) is a willingness to overlook utter incompetence in return for political reliability (evoking painful memories of the structure of the USSR). This isn't just in politics, but in broadcasting and in teaching as well.
Would you send your kids to Mizzou today? Or Yale? Or Northern Colorado?
And hell- read the ticker at the bottom of the news channels. They're spelled and phrased like a three-year-old wrote them. Read some of the garbage that gets put out for peer review in many fields of academia. For a good laugh, follow New Real Peer Review on Twitter... it's hilarious, other than the fact that these are articles that made it into peer-reviewed journals as actual "science".
How did these folks writing this crap pass freshman English, let alone defend their excuses for critical thinking?
So, as a veteran of media, of academia, and a few other things, I always thought it was my duty, because of the privilege of working in those lines of work, to justify my existence by not only working hard, but working well.
And I'm here to tell you, there are a lot of people who've entered that class by birth, not by achievement, and that's the problem- the Kardashian-Hilton approach to prosperity.
To my way of thinking, one of the key elements of the culture that dearly needs to be remade is the willingness to accept mediocrity from people who profess to be on a higher plane than us, regardless of their politics. If they work hard and well, I'm willing to give them a shot. And yeah, the media's going to try to pick our candidates as their hold on culture deteriorates. But the way to attack them is by demanding better of the people who teach our kids, and to get after media and politicians for their daily doses of stupid.
Here's an example of Iowahawk and Tim Blair just UNLOADING on a navel-gazing British academic, via Patterico.
Now, with that said- the other side gives us plenty of examples; let's not excuse anything similar from our side.
Okay, enough from me on that. Let's have some fun.
Chariots of Fur
I do a lot of Bugs Bunny, but I've sorely neglected Wile E. Coyote (who appears to be advising higher GOP election strategy) and the Road Runner.
One of the things that makes Neil DeGrasse Tyson's nonsensical Rationalia governmental idea so utterly farcical is that there are some things that science just can't explain, no matter how hard we might wish it were otherwise.
In medicine, something we can't account for is the impact of the spiritual side on the mind. We can sort of describe it, but as a doc-in-training, there's no science for it, because how would you begin to measure it? Yet there's definitely something there, no matter how much some of my colleagues may try to deny it.
I’m a man of science and a lover of history; after studying the classics at Princeton, I trained in psychiatry at Yale and in psychoanalysis at Columbia. That background is why a Catholic priest had asked my professional opinion, which I offered pro bono, about whether this woman was suffering from a mental disorder. This was at the height of the national panic about Satanism. (In a case that helped induce the hysteria, Virginia McMartin and others had recently been charged with alleged Satanic ritual abuse at a Los Angeles preschool; the charges were later dropped.) So I was inclined to skepticism. But my subject’s behavior exceeded what I could explain with my training. She could tell some people their secret weaknesses, such as undue pride. She knew how individuals she’d never known had died, including my mother and her fatal case of ovarian cancer. Six people later vouched to me that, during her exorcisms, they heard her speaking multiple languages, including Latin, completely unfamiliar to her outside of her trances. This was not psychosis; it was what I can only describe as paranormal ability. I concluded that she was possessed. Much later, she permitted me to tell her story. The priest who had asked for my opinion of this bizarre case was the most experienced exorcist in the country at the time, an erudite and sensible man. I had told him that, even as a practicing Catholic, I wasn’t likely to go in for a lot of hocus-pocus. “Well,” he replied, “unless we thought you were not easily fooled, we would hardly have wanted you to assist us.”
Your mileage may vary, but one of the things that says a lot to me about the competence of my colleagues is how willing they are to acknowledge that there are things that we- and they- and I- don't know. I'm scared of anyone who claims to have all the answers, and Dr. Gallagher in the piece above is someone I already have a lot of trust in.
Hat tip to Father Erik.
Awkward Band Publicity Photos
Via the mighty Craig Schmuckatelli on Twitter, my fellow bass player and just all-around good friend serves up this hot mess of yikes...
Tonight's musical selection, from the rock side...
I may have used this before, but it seems appropriate given the evening's discussion. Jonathan Mover has been the tour drummer for Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, and this is a composition he did with a side project called "Three Little Pigs" (whose lineup I can't find).
It's called "Put Up Or Shut Up".
Have a VERY safe and happy Fourth Of July, and by all means, come find me on Twitter if you need me! I'll be around some this evening.

Yeah, I don't know any psychiatrist who isn't in one manner or another, crazy him or herself, and I know many.
Dr. Gallagher is a quack. He's a quack because he doesn't recognize the boundaries of his profession, not because he believes there are things that science cannot explain.
Of course there are things science cannot explain. And when he encounters it, he should leave it to someone else. He has no more business entering the spiritual realm than a chaplain does trying to practice psychiatry.

As someone who dug out of horrendous piles of cherry laurel after Ivan just the year before, I have to admit I watched Katrina and aftermath in stunned disbelief. My first point of incredulity was that there was anyone still there when Katrina came in. New Orleans is officially 19 feet below sea level. What did people think was going to happen?
After that... well. As I said, we dug ourselves out of Ivan's wreckage. About all my family got from the gov't was a few bags of ice, three or four days later. (They were very much appreciated, yes, given power didn't come back to our area for almost 2 weeks.) The fact that in Katrina people were screaming on TV for someone to come give them food, clothing, and shelter just boggled my mind.
Yet that's more and more the flavor of what we see these days; the media focuses on "why isn't the government fixing this" and not on "hey, we're the people here, why aren't _we_ fixing this?"

Regarding New Orleans. It's built on unconsolidated sediment of the Mississippi River, basically mud, and some sand and silt.
Here's what you do to save the city: drill test bores all over the city, and locate formations that will readily fracture horizontally if you pump mud into them.
Then use pile drivers to drive down steel sheets however far is needed to reach those zones, and a little beyond. Make a ring or hexagon of steel wall around each neighborhood. Then drill down to the previously-identified layer and pump in mud and sand, and let it raise the whole neighborhood up like a piston in a cylinder. The process is called "mud-jacking", and it works. Sure, there might be damage to some buildings because of differential rising. Tough. Deal with it.
Do one neighborhood, and move on to the next. Would play hell with roads, streetcars, and underground utilities, but careful planning could minimize disruptions. Jack each section up to 10 feet above the 100-year high water mark.

Naw. It was given to me. Along with other junkers that came out of a neighbors field. We put it together from parts from the others to get one working.
It does but something keeps destroying the starters.
I'm not in anyway an auto mechanic but I'm thinking it has to do with the electrical system. Maybe a short somewhere?

#1: Alignment. The starter pinion is not meshing 100% with the ring gear for whatever reason. Some starters used special-diameter bolts, or shims to ensure perfect alignment.
#2: Ring gear is worn out, usually in one place where the engine prefers to stop. Maybe 6 teeth on the ring gear will be badly worn, and the rest near-perfect. Cheap-ass solution: remove ring gear, reposition 45° away from present location, reattach. Smart solution: new ring gear. If the car is an automatic, ring gear is welded to torque converter.

Her husband didn't listen - and it paid off to the tune of $169 million.
Mega Millions winner Nancy Viola asked her husband, Vito Viola , an NYPD sergeant, to buy Powerball tickets from the 2520 Foodmart in the Willowbrook section of Staten Island on Jan. 8. She had the Powerball fever that was gripping the country.
Because the jackpot was $900 million, she said. It was big. It was all everybody was talking about. He didn't listen.
Instead, her husband used a leftover dollar to buy a Quick Pick for the Mega Millions, 11, 39, 51, 57, and 75, with Mega Ball 2.
That was a good thing, a beaming Viola said Thursday as she stood next to a giant check.

It's almost the exact same setup under the hood.

My late Dad's '73 Pinto ran to over 325k miles, and lasted till the footwells rusted out.
The car's first 170k miles were mostly in San Diego, CA and surrounding areas, till he moved to Florida. Nary a spot of rust on it, out West.
The motor and 4 speed manual though, were just as smooth as ever. But the car was Orlando-ing out into oxide around the running gear.
Hell, a color photo of a car will rust in Orlando.

"My first point of incredulity was that there was anyone still there when
Katrina came in. New Orleans is officially 19 feet below sea level.
What did people think was going to happen?"
Here's the deal with one subgroup of the city's inhabitants:
New Orleans has traditionally had a damned big junkie population relative to its comparatively small size. It's a heroin nexus going back many generations. And those junkies often don't go places. All they want and need is right there in NOLA.
When they heard the evacuation order, they thought two things.
(a) Where are they going to line up a fix? They don't have any trusted connections anywhere outside of the city.
(b) You know, there are probably going to be some Grade A pharmacy looting opportunities with the city emptied out, the power off, and the police shorthanded.
So they stayed put.

In regards to the aftermath of Katrina, Ray Nagin, etc.
Contrast the behavior of the people of NO, particularly with the officials and their utter lack of preparedness to the people of WV.
That's right, we stopped hearing anything about what WV is dealing with right now, haven't we. Nothing to see here, no screaming cannibals in the Dome, no rapes in the shelters, no blaming President Obama for causing the floods, or the FEMA director for not having trailers, cars, and catered four star meals available to the populace six hours after the floods passed.
No, the people of WV are helping each other. The Greenbrier Resort is actually housing people that have lost their homes and needed temporary shelter. Every community has had one of their own service organizations set up to help residents with drinking water, food, phones, internet service, etc. Neighbors with pick up trucks have gone in to help move debris out to clear roads, to get people back to their homes to salvage what they can, etc.
There are still three women missing from the floods, their photos and family contact information is posted by their neighbors on facebook. Lost pets are being taken in by those whose homes were not damaged, cared for and their owners being sought online.
Boy scouts, football teams etc. have all showed up to start cleaning up their schools, their churches and their neighborhoods.
WV gov. has been going to each community to find out what they need and make sure the National Guard is onsite where needed. Temporary bridges have been built already over small streams, roads are slowly being reopened as they can be shored up.
But, yes, I forgot, WV is nothing but a bunch of illiterate hillbillies......

I spit coke zero on my screen when I read this. Hubby came over to see why I was laughing, and read it. Since we had had a huge argument over my (admittedly) foul mouth this morning, he just shook his head, and said. "Well, it figures you would find something to back up your side of the fight."

I'm not in anyway an auto mechanic but I'm thinking it has to do with the electrical system. Maybe a short somewhere?///
If this car was sitting in a field corrosion of all the electrical connections in the starter system should be checked. Did you check all the starters you've pulled after you removed them? Sometimes doing the replacement will partially fix a connection. Finally did they fry electrically or mechanically.

Any ideas?

#1: Alignment. The starter pinion is not meshing 100% with the ring
gear for whatever reason. Some starters used special-diameter bolts, or
shims to ensure perfect alignment.
#2: Ring gear is worn out, usually in one place where the
engine prefers to stop. Maybe 6 teeth on the ring gear will be badly
worn, and the rest near-perfect. Cheap-ass solution: remove ring gear,
reposition 45 away from present location, reattach. Smart solution: new
ring gear. If the car is an automatic, ring gear is welded to torque
converter.

Yay! I actually (and accurately) remembered something from my 79 Ford Mustang fiasco! Son-of-a-bitch went through a water pump, 3 starters, a ring-gear, two carbs, a transmission, and it ate valve-cover gaskets like candy because the Ford geniuses made the valve covers with vastly different thermal expansion characteristics than the heads they bolted onto....plus, it handled like crap and ate tires until I found a shop that explained that the factory-specified toe-in was utter bullshit and that it'd handle better and tires would last normally if it were set to dead-nuts true.

We just had to replace the starter on our van. Best we could recall, this is the first time we've done so on that van. But we sure have replaced a lot of starters over the years.

Evening everyone. I'm celebrating Independence Day by exercising my 2nd Amendment rights this weekend. Just bought a Marlin 336W and will head out to the range on Sunday to shoot my pistol.
I'm down to 29 days of work left. It's scary to think that I still have to attach the trailer hitch to my truck, pack my house, order the cleaning crew and the carpet cleaner, rent a uhaul, pack the uhaul, make a run to the dump, all in the next four weeks.

Thing is, sitting right next to it is a 79 Mercury Capri with the same motor/transmission and it runs like a charm.
It's almost the exact same setup under the hood.
What gives?
Posted by: Tim in Illinois. at July 01, 2016 10:51 PM (WVsWD)
Pinto and Bobcat were clones. Capri was from Ford of Germany, but some engine models were the same, not the V6, which was German-made.
If your problem is, the starter spins, but doesn't crank the engine, then my previous post will help. If the starter engages, but stalls, then either your engine is exceedingly stiff, or it's not getting enough juice. Be sure the battery negative cable is grounded securely to the engine block.
If installing a new or rebuilt starter, coat the pinion teeth with layout dye, or even a blue Sharpie pen. Run it once, remove it again, and see how much of the ink has worn off. That will tell you if the starter pinion is engaging deep enough in the teeth of the ring gear to do its job properly.

Today is also the hundredth anniversary of the battle of the Somme River in World War One. 60000 casualties for the British Army on that first day, almost 20000 of them dead.
The cream of the British Empire's manhood was snuffed out over the next two years, starting that day.
And now a hundred years later they're barely able to vote their own independence.

I wonder if the BAMN dodos understand that it is reciprocal?
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at July 01, 2016 11:10 PM (GSdpU)
It is only "in theory", eventually reciprocal. They are leftists, fellow travelers to the current US government, and figure that (a) if they hurt people badly enough fast enough, any counterattacks will be by disabled people; and (b) where they get slow police response times on their attacks, the police will aggressively and swiftly punish those doing counterattacks.

As I recall, the German made Capri exited the scene quietly, whereupon a few years later, Mercury rebranded the then extant "Bobcat", with the supposedly more upscale "Capri" moniker.
Which fooled absolutely no one.
Point is, the very last couple years of "Capri" really were Pinto clones, even though us olde fartes know the "Capri" as a small, pseudo Mustang, euro-viewpoint "Pony Car".
At least, that's how they tried to make the German Capri's sheetmetal look in terms of proportion and line.
Not a bad car in it's own right, but like all American manufacturers in the '70s, Ford didn't have a single bloody damn clue as how to market a tight-handling, tailored package of a euro-sport coupe.
So, they let the overstuffed geezers in the Mercury dealerships make a failure of it.
We'd see the same damn abject cluelessness thing a decade or so later, with the Merkur XT4-i.

Agreed. The original Capri got deservedly good press in the car enthusiast magazines of the day. A good-performing, nice-handling car, for not a lot of money. Going back a few years, the Lotus Cortina was a similar deal.

Police said the two officers died at a hospital after being wounded in the gunfire with as many as nine attackers, who also hurled bombs. Ten of the 26 wounded were listed in critical condition, six of whom were on life support, according to hospital staff, who said the injuries ranged from broken bones to gunshot wounds. Only one civilian was among the wounded.

Kyle Bass, founder and CIO of Hayman Capital Management:
Look, I had a fascinating out of body experience meeting with one of the world's top central bankers in a private meeting about three years ago. And he said, "You know Kyle, quantitative easing only works when you're the only country doing it." He would never say that publicly. And I'll protect his name, because it was a private meeting. But it was one of those moments where I...it was one of those epiphanies almost, where it's something you and I knew, but hearing him say it, call it one of the four top central bankers in the world, it was a jarring experience for me, because when I look around the world today, everyone's in the same boat. So we're all trying...we're attempting through our treasury and our Fed to get the rest of the world to not devalue against us, while we quietly attempt to devalue ourselves against them, and it's all this...it is the race to the bottom, it is the beggar thy neighbor policies that we all talk about. And I believe that there is no way out.

It was crap....but so fun. I loved that dribbling piece of shit. Drove it all over NE Oklahoma, and even had a farmer drag it out of his muddy field once with a tractor. I was pretty sure five dollars in gas back then would have gotten us most of the way to California.
T-boned it on a chevy that turned right in front of me one morning. I got 800 dollars from that...and bought a spiffing used '72 Ford LTD. It wasn't nearly as much fun.

About 40 years ago, I was in Paris for Bastille Day, walking in the part that leads up to and goes under the Eiffel Tower. Off in the distance, there is an old grandfatherly-type, in a coat, puffing on a cigar, with a box under his arm -- and he's got an excited young man of about four years of age. He gets to a park bench, puts the box on the ground, and sits down.
As this little drama is going on, I'm walking closer and closer.....so I see the young lad select a little blob out of the box and run over to his grandfather holding it out. Without taking the blob out of the youngster's hand, the gentleman takes a drag from the cigar and touches it to the blob, whereupon the kid takes about three steps and throws it into the air.
Where it explodes with a concussion I could feel in my chest. "Holy shit," I'm thinking, "that came dangerously close to blowing the kid's arm into pink mist." Whereupon the boy bounced and clapped for a while, then ran back to the box for another. My next thought was, "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas any more....."

Olivia's second marriage ended in 1953.
So, over 60 years of happiness.
I do like Doris Day's comment about men (she married some cads)
"The more I know about men, the more I love my dogs."

So Gov. Moonbeam signed into law in CA today a ten round limit on magazines. Possessing one capable of more rounds and you are a criminal.
Also, someone explain to me how you background check someone buying a box of .22s.? And so what. Is it illegal to buy ammunition if you are on the no fly list or have been convicted of a crime with a one year or more jail penalty?
Imagine the line at Cabelas or Walmart to buy a box of shotgun shells. All waiting for their background check.
I also didn't know that CA currently restricts people from buying more than one handgun a month.
How in the hell does this stuff not be struck down in court?
I want the liberal idiots to tell me how this is going to prevent terrorism.

Something to remember this 4th.
The country that flourished and produced the most exceptional place and people on this planet is still here.
Under the filth and perversion the bedrock exists. It can't ever be denied or hidden very long, it's there, immutable.
By the efforts of people like us here, it will reemerge in due time.
Not going to be easy, there'll be heartbreak along the way.
I likely won't live to see that emergence, but I have complete faith that it will happen.
We'll prevail because we are Americans, thus we're denied the option of failure. Look through our history for proof of that.
So NEVER despair or be ashamed of your land. Shame lies on the shoulders of those who would harm her.

It has long been illegal to purchase magazines that hold more than 10 rounds in California. The process of modifying standard magazines is called "pinning" -- every half-competent armorer in this state can do this.....there are youtube videos to teach people how to do this.
And, of course, if you watch the youtube videos backwards, the soundtrack changes to "Paul is dead."

What Tyson is advocating has a name, Scientism. It's the belief that science is the be all and end all of the human condition. It's a laughable joke. There are many, many things that politics must deal with that are not science, and science has no business addressing them.
To go that route results in the most abusive tyrannies the world has ever known.
I guess the big thing to say about it is that science is not about value judgments, what is good and bad. For example, science can say, if X then Y. It cannot say Y is bad or good. Someone might think Y is terrible, so therefore we shouldn't do X. But then on the other hand, there are those who dig X and don't mind a little Y to come along.
The people are always making that little oversight. They start out as a given that Y is bad, and argue how stupid one is for not seeing that X surely causes Y. Science has nothing to say about how we should value Y or X.

Units are just a crutch anyway. They're a very needed crutch and one that is therefore burned into every STEM student, and for very good reason. However, they are not really needed. The Universe itself, God if you will, has chosen the inherent scale of "stuff" in this universe and the relations between them.
You can simply go with that flow and find distance, time, mass, electric charge, and the others you need, are related through the prime physical law and the scale of each has been thus set.
They can be called Planck units, or God's units, if you prefer. And they aren't really units.
That statement will probably go against everything a young even advanced STEM type holds dear. However, he simply hasn't gone deep enough. :-)

IIRC, they ban rifles that can accept a magazine larger than 10. A "bullet button" basically legally transformed the rifle to one with a fixed magazine because you needed a tool (e.g. a bullet) to remove the "fixed magazine".
The new Calif. law does away with such "bullet button" mechanisms.

IIRC, they ban rifles that can accept a magazine larger than 10. A "bullet button" basically legally transformed the rifle to one with a fixed magazine because you needed a tool (e.g. a bullet) to remove the "fixed magazine".
The new Calif. law does away with such "bullet button" mechanisms.

So...question on the 'bullet button". I'm assuming that is the typical magazine release button found on every 1911 and every AR 15.

The bullet button was a magazine release that couldn't be depressed with a finger, but could be depressed with a pointed object such as a finger. This allowed people to get around the restriction on 30-round magazines for their AR-15s since it wasn't technically a "detachable magazine" under the law.

"How in the hell does this stuff not be struck down in court?"
Emanations. Penumbras. Standing.
There's a whole lot of nasty crime going on in CA right now, and the trend is noticeably upward. Even with metro police departments pencil-whipping the reported numbers as hard as they can.
Don't expect for these measures to do a damn thing to interrupt that.

It has long been illegal to purchase magazines that hold more than 10
rounds in California. The process of modifying standard magazines is
called "pinning" -- every half-competent armorer in this state can do
this.....there are youtube videos to teach people how to do this.
And, of course, if you watch the youtube videos backwards, the soundtrack changes to "Paul is dead."

No, it's something slightly different. I have no idea what, exactly, but it's like the "evil thingie what goes up" -- some mostly cosmetic bullshit. Until they get that fifth lockstep SCOTUS vote, they can't do more than harass.

I find the same to be true of 'Liberals' and racism.

To fill the time I usually spend here following you lot, I've so far taught my kids how to bait their own hooks and take fish off of the line. Showed 'em how to catch a gar this evening. They are working up the nerve to dive off of a dock. Tomorrow, I am going to teach them how to start a fire with wood shavings and a flint and striker. My aunt and uncle are spinning honey out of honeycombs from the bee hives they have. That should be fun. Oh, and I'm really tan. Happy Fourth of July weekend!

And for everyone who's been talking about the elitist hatred for middle America:
Sorry to share more bad news, but I found this today at Hollywood film reviewer Jeffrey Wells' Hollywood Elsewhere site. Trigger warning: it *will* make your blood boil. But then again I'm kinda glad he posted it. It helps to know who the enemy is.
I guess I'm getting either more resigned to it, or better disciplined; in the past I would have gone apeshit over this kind of thing, but I've known this guy is diseased for a long time, so for whatever reason it doesn't bother me as much. It also helps to know that if/when the "burning times" *do* come? This guy is going to be Maet's (or someone like Maet) gimp.
"Hinterland Nihilists"
http://tinyurl.com/hymxar6
(BTW yes, I confronted him in the comments a little... but not too heatedly. Wells actually responded saying he's not a bigot... *after* admitting in his original Disqus draft comment, he *is* a bigot against middle America. Whatever dude, you've got your own problems.)

That's where the college system has failed. The whole purpose of universities was to turn out people who were widely educated in a broad subject of topics. Basically, creating renaissance men. Now, the education they get in everything but their core topic is so watered down and full of lefty propaganda that it's basically worthless. A mathematician will still learn good math, an engineer will still learn how to build things, but everything else is garbage.
So why do we still need the high schools and college system if, instead of turning out well-rounded adults, they're turning out hyper-specialists who are utterly useless outside of a narrow field? The case can definitely be made for education reform on these grounds.

Gars are large, primitive, freshwater piscivore fish. They're shaped sort of like logs with tiny flippers and tend to be about 25% mouth with lots of teeth. One version found in the Mississippi is known as an "alligator gar" -- it should be known that there are real, actual alligators to compare them to nearabouts.
That said, I have no idea if you eat them, or just catch 'em to keep them from eating everything else in your lake/river.

It's been the Rule, not the exception. They're one of US. I cannot explain WHY that happens. It just does. I reckon Montani Semper Liberi runs strong even now.

Gars are large, primitive, freshwater piscivore fish. They're shaped sort of like logs with tiny flippers and tend to be about 25% mouth with lots of teeth.
Yikes! Didn't have those in the Guadalupe, thankfully!

Despite kdbabear's best efforts, I think I will go to bed with a schadenboner imagining Hilary getting cuffed and perk walked by the FBI tomorrow. Maybe a green pant suit with a yellow jacket over her head ?

That being said I would really appreciate likes and comments on the video. ideally liveblog a reaction to her interview in the vid-comments, but I don't want to sound demanding of moron attention. Do what you feel.
P.S. If anyone has some advice about how to get this message out to
other places I would love some advice I'm a total marketing n00b.

Email the more popular blogs on the right -- Insty, Tepid Zephyr, Patterico, PowerLine. See if they'll bite. Hell, send it to Ace -- he might even do a double-post on it.

I did have to note that the group being attacked by BAMN were of the "White Nationalist" vein, though clearly the lawful protestors and the victims of BAMN. Praise for the "Traditionalist Worker Party" can easily be used to turn-off people who might otherwise agree with the warning of the danger of groups like BAMN.

Alright. I've sent emails to everyone ya'll mentioned and twitter whore'd a bit.
The views are rolling in more quickly now not sure exactly what is sending them. probably all the clickbaity twitter @#themdoodes_Imessage'd
twitter is the worst social media.
We're doing a part two video discussion tonight so if there is any advice I would adore you forever if you would divulge it. Otherwise keep up the good fight and we need to start finding those who aren't so indoctrinated that they are blind to this type of absolute insanity.

All Hail Eris, thanks!! I think this will work:
Okay, let me try posting this entire POS post from Wells and Hollywood Elsewhere.
"Hinterland Nihilists"
My discovery is late by a month, but this 5.30 piece by photographer & Guardian contributor Chris Arnade (link at site) offers the most concise and illuminating explanation of the moronic mentality of your average downscale Trump voter that I've read thus far.
The hinterlanders have basically become Pvt. Gomer Pyle in Full Metal Jacket, living in what they feel is a world of shit. They've stopped being reasonable, they don't believe in positivism or constructive solutions, they drink a lot and they're holding a loaded gun in their hands and telling themselves that things are so bad -- stuck, no hope, no future -- that pulling the trigger couldn't make things any worse, and it might just make them better.
Arnade: As any trader will tell you, if you are stuck lower, you want volatility, uncertainty. No matter how it comes. Put another way, your downside is flat but your upside isnt. Break the system.
Seven Arnade paragraphs and Wells comments:
(1) Large parts of the U.S. have become completely isolated, socially and economically. Kids are growing up in towns where by six, seven, or eleven, they are doomed to be viewed as second class. They feel unvalued. They feel stuck. They are mocked. And there is nothing they feel they can do about it.
Wells comment: There's at least a possibility of a way out for under-30s through self-education. Higher learning and all kinds of unforeseen creativity via the internet is free. They don't need college. And the more they listen to their out-of-work dad or mom or uncle, the more fucked they'll be. Leave them behind. Their future is mapped out for them, but it isn't for people who believe in tomorrow. They can do anything or at least die trying.
(2) When they turn to religion for worth, they are seen by the elites as uneducated, irrational, clowns. When they turn to identity through race they are racists, regardless of their color.
Wells comment: For the 678th time, religion has always been founded upon ignorance and superstition, and 35 or so years ago Christianity was hijacked by the right. I hate to break it to you, Gomer, but Jesus doesn't believe in AR-15s. And the more you repeat slogans like diversity is a code word for white genocide, the more behind the eight ball you'll be. Do you wanna stay in that hole you're in, or do you want to climb out?
(3) The only thing they feel they can do is break the fucking system. And they are going to try. Either by Trump or by some other way.
Wells comment: Brilliant!
(4) Voters in the lower tier want to move to the higher tier. For African-Americans that means supporting the Clintons, who have spent 40 years working to convince African-Americans they will work for them, socially and economically. They may not like where they start, but Hillary is clearly working for them.
Wells comment: Check.
(5) Many working class whites presently don't feel they have that. In the past they voted the same as elite Republicans, who they saw as sharing their values and would move them higher.
Wells comment: Dubya and Dick Cheney share my dogpatch values! God, what a bunch of dumb-asses!
(6) That hasn't happened. Economically or socially. The bailout of Wall Street (and in their view, acquiescence on social issues like gay marriage) was the final blow.
Wells comment: You're shattered by the Wall Street bailout, and so you're voting for the biggest, richest, most obnoxiously me-me-me guy who ever ran for President; a selfish, swaggering buffoon who's putting on an act so you'll vote for him, and you're dumb enough to do that? You know what? You deserve to live in pain. Your lethargy is warranted. Pop another Oxycontin.
(6) Frustrated with broken promises, they gave up on the knowable and went with the unknowable. They chose Trump because he comes with a very high distribution. A high volatility. He also signals, in ugly ways, that he might just move them, and only them and their friends, higher with his stated policies.
Wells comment: If there's a God, things will only get worse for you guys. Here's hoping.
Read the whole piece. It says some horrible things, but it's very perceptive

Yes, cthulu, it was an alligator gar. I caught it just to show the kids how tough they are to catch. The mouths are very bony, and they are not aggressive strikers. They like to eat dead or wounded fish and will just mouth their prey for a while before swallowing it. We don't eat them. Too tough to clean. It has been a glorious summer for the kids. The only thing missing is my husband. I'm taking up the slack while he is deployed.

I expect gars are real bony, and not good to eat. But maybe they put up a good fight, to make catching them worthwhile.

So why do we still need the high schools and college system if, instead of turning out well-rounded adults, they're turning out hyper-specialists who are utterly useless outside of a narrow field? The case can definitely be made for education reform on these grounds.

Schools aren't about the kids, they are about the teachers and administrators jobs.
In 1980, total education spending in the US was $152B with a population of 226 million,
In 1990, total education spending in the US was $305B with a population of 249 million.
In 2000, total education spending in the US was $557B with a population of 281 million.
In 2010, total education spending in the US was $921B with a population of 309 million.
In 2016, total education spending in the US is forecast to be $1.03T with a population of 325 million.
Population has grown by 50%, education spending has grown 660%.
That money isn't going for books for the kids, it's going for more administrators and teachers' salaries.

You want something fixed, you call a tradesman.

ctually, i like canadia. the canadians are nice and polite (except the kebekwah) and happy to see us, sort of like a big, friendly golden retriever who bounds up wagging its tail, its tongue wagging, waiting for a few pats on the head.
and if they get invaded from the north, we'll go to the border, throw a big stick and the retriever will go bounding off while we go and deal with the (probably) russkie army. and when we're done, we'll go back to our side of the border and the golden retriever will trot pup with the stick and a big smile and we'll part it on the head again and say "yes, you are a good boy!"
and we're all friends!

I spent a summer in Bull Shoals AR and learned a bit about alligator gar as told by fishermen.
People do eat them. They didn't use hooks to catch them as it tended not to penetrate their snouts. Something resembling dental floss was used to snag their teeth and bring them up.
At that point some chose to club them with a cut down bat . Problem was that even when clubbed like crazy, sometimes they still weren't dead. The gar would "wake up" and start fighting while in the boat. I saw multiple newspaper clippings where fisherman had been bitten in those situations.
It was not unusual to hear a single gunshot at times. Some gar fishermen carried snub-nosed .38s and would use that to put one down just to be safe. No, they didn't do it in the boat per se.

AOP, exactly.
I think deep in his heart, and although he'll never admit it, Wells knows he's an irrational bigot with a problem. He's actually *for* a separation of blue states vs. red states, and another poster who called him a hateful lefty in the same comment section? Wells only responded with, "Go with God."

ctually, i like canadia. the canadians are nice and polite (except the
kebekwah) and happy to see us, sort of like a big, friendly golden
retriever who bounds up wagging its tail, its tongue wagging, waiting
for a few pats on the head.
and if they get invaded from the north, we'll go to the border,
throw a big stick and the retriever will go bounding off while we go and
deal with the (probably) russkie army. and when we're done, we'll go
back to our side of the border and the golden retriever will trot pup
with the stick and a big smile and we'll part it on the head again and
say "yes, you are a good boy!"
and we're all friends!

An AF friend of mine was participating in a SAC exercise with the Canadians. He related listening to a Canadian pilot who had intercepted a bogey masquerading as a Rooskie. The bogey steadfastly refused to identify itself.
Finally the Canadian pilot radioed, "See here lad, if you don't identify yourself, I'm going to put a rocket up yer arse."

Jean, I admit I just have to share when I find something so crazy and openly hateful. Even though I admit it might not really be productive in the long term.
I also kind of want some people here to go over there and give him a hard time... but can understand if people don't want to, and the POV that that's not helpful either.
IMHO a great glimmer of hope came last week with the defeat of the SJW administration at UC Irvine. I know I keep flogging that, but (a) these are young people we're talking about, they have good futures; (b) and they can teach others how to fight.
To expand on what Tilikum posted, one of our side's greatest strengths is that we can capitalize on the other side's boundless, irrational overconfidence.

Something resembling dental floss was used to snag their teeth and bring them up.
I've fished for them like that. Used frayed nylon cord with a hook for bait. I've never caught one big enough for a club. The biggest I've managed is a four footer. They are fascinating fish. They have an air bladder they can use to "gulp" air when the oxygen content of the water is low, and their scales are like tooth enamel. They are good to eat, but like I said earlier, they are tough to clean. I tend to avoid a fish you have to chop with a hatchet to get through the scales. Popular fish with bow fishermen too because they float at the surface.

I'd suggest looking at their core belief, mainly that White people are defined as racist (just as men are defined as sexist, straight people defined as homophobes, &c.), and that all racists (and thus White people) are evil morally impure oppressors. Thus, being in opposition to that "morally impure oppression" is defined axiomatically as "justice".
Thus "oppression" and "justice" are not defined by what one does, but by which side their on.
An understanding of "intersectional" hierarchies and "kyriarchy" takes it to another level.

They are very ancient from an evolutionary viewpoint -- they have diamond-shaped scales that are more primitive than sharks'. And, as far as "what did it ever do to you?" -- they tend to look dead for quite a long time, then wake up and sink their teeth into the nearest object.

I've fished for them like that. Used frayed nylon cord with a hook
for bait. I've never caught one big enough for a club. The biggest I've
managed is a four footer. They are fascinating fish. They have an air
bladder they can use to "gulp" air when the oxygen content of the water
is low, and their scales are like tooth enamel. They are good to eat,
but like I said earlier, they are tough to clean. I tend to avoid a fish
you have to chop with a hatchet to get through the scales. Popular fish
with bow fishermen too because they float at the surface.

The ones in AR allegedly got big enough to be worth the effort. IIRC they are rather "ancient" from an evolutionary standpoint.
I thought the image of a fisherman shooting one in the head a little
funny for some reason. Kind of like jeez, what did it ever do to you?

They are very ancient from an evolutionary viewpoint -- they have diamond-shaped scales that are more primitive than sharks'. And, as far as "what did it ever do to you?" -- they tend to look dead for quite a long time, then wake up and sink their teeth into the nearest object. If you don't want that to happen to your leg, you take affirmative steps to ensure that it looks dead because it *IS* dead.

Sharks don't really have scales. Their skin has a sandpapery texture. And their kidneys are not very efficient; there's a high level of urea in their flesh as a result. But the meat is quite tasty if first marinated in lemon juice to neutralize the urea.

Sharks, like gars, have non-overlapping scales. Sharks' scales are like little teeth -- their skin has been historically used like sandpaper. Gars' scales are just little flat diamonds -- they act more like body armor. Regular fish's scales are little overlapping plates attached at the front, which allows them to be more lightweight while being just as protective and more flexible.

I'd suggest looking at their core belief, mainly that White people are defined as racist (just as men are defined as sexist, straight people defined as homophobes, &c.), and that all racists (and thus White people) are evil morally impure oppressors. Thus, being in opposition to that "morally impure oppression" is defined axiomatically as "justice".
Thus "oppression" and "justice" are not defined by what one does, but by which side their on.

And, BTW, cartilage is well-defined. It's just made out of solidified goo instead of simulated rock. We've all got lots of cartilage that we carry around -- the plate between our ribs, most of our nose, our earlobes.... Infants have a whole lot of cartilage that gradually changes over during childhood [the better to traverse the birth canal...]. It's not like cartilage is bad.....but if you want to prevent soft-tissue injuries to, say, the brain -- a reinforced skull can be superior in certain applications.

Well, the teleost fishes are defined as those which have mineralized bones, like those of other advanced vertebrates.

You're just "fishing" here, aren't you -- trying to have me look up gars to see if they're teleost fishes when you've already got the damned Wikipedia page for teleost fish open in front of you.....
And, BTW, cartilage is well-defined. It's just made out of solidified
goo instead of simulated rock. We've all got lots of cartilage that we
carry around -- the plate between our ribs, most of our nose, our
earlobes.... Infants have a whole lot of cartilage that gradually
changes over during childhood [the better to traverse the birth

But consider the possibilities of a sheriff - men, equipment, training - and I'd be shocked if some of them didn't end up warlords or local leaders.

1983, $177B in education spending, 233 million people.
Those dates are the "high point" of the Baby Boomers in school, which would be 1970, and 1983 which would be the year that the next generation graduated from high school. So at that point, the number of kids in schools had started to fall.

And I don't see sheriffs as being warlords anywhere but ganged-out wastelands....because the suburbs are terra incognita. They don't spend enough time in quiet cul-de-sacs to know the lay of the land, and many are stuffed with folks to whom warlords are anathema.

"there are some things that science just can't explain"
Ok, time for me to dig up one of them again.
My personal favorite; a scientific study; that makes less than no goddamned sense at all.
Actually, it's been enough time there are a few more studies... showing the same basic results.
The base outcome of the studies.
Placebos work even WHEN you tell people they're taking a placebo, explain what a placebo is,. then have them take it.

Makes no goddamned sense at all; but it certainly seems to be a reproducible experiment outcome.
Don't ask me to explain it even without science...

I'm not sure exactly what "alt-right" means, and I've seen a lot of comments here that equate them with Neo-Nazis. Including Ace.
The "traditional" right has given us such stellar folk as Bill Kristol and George Will, who seem perfectly fine with Hillary as President. And as a white person, I am getting more than a little tired of being condemned as the root of all evil. Do white people have any legal protection anymore? Or is it open season on us?
I am also getting tired of my country being overrun by the entire goddamned Third World. I am a white man. I am a nationalist. Does that make me a White Nationalist? If so, then so be it.
So I'm not condemning the alt-right out of hand. Whatever it means.

There is an analog in politics -- if you can convince the subconscious mind (e.g. that Clinton stands with the black people she so obviously holds in contempt), then any conscious facts (national security, record of failure) are discounted.

406 I'm not sure exactly what "alt-right" means, and I've seen a lot of comments here that equate them with Neo-Nazis. Including Ace.
The "traditional" right has given us such stellar folk as Bill Kristol and George Will, who seem perfectly fine with Hillary as President. And as a white person, I am getting more than a little tired of being condemned as the root of all evil. Do white people have any legal protection anymore? Or is it open season on us?
I am also getting tired of my country being overrun by the entire goddamned Third World. I am a white man. I am a nationalist. Does that make me a White Nationalist? If so, then so be it.
So I'm not condemning the alt-right out of hand. Whatever it means.
>>>
Libertarians are basically main-stream Alt-Right.
Tea-Party would qualify. Red Pill MGTOWs and MRAs are generally considered part of it as well. White nationalists definitely. Anyone who thinks outside the Overton Window is pretty much Alt-Right in my opinion.
Anyone who isnt Jesuscon, Neocon or tradcon is probably Alt-Right at this point by the broadest definition.

Actually there's a partial explanation for why placebos work... even when they're exposed as placebos:
the patients *want* it to work.
The brain is a powerful, powerful thing; more powerful than we know about, yet.

Doesn't matter. Either the 1st Amendment applies to them or it applies to none.

I do not dispute their rights. And not from leniency, but the belief that sunlight is the best disinfectant. And the heckler's veto, which is the SJW's in this case, is an abominable thing.
But Nazis put state powers over individual rights, and so they are left wing. Easier to argue when they are a socialist worker's party.

cthulhu: There is an analog in politics -- if you can convince the subconscious mind (e.g. that Clinton stands with the black people she so obviously holds in contempt), then any conscious facts (national security, record of failure) are discounted.
Welll, I'm not sure about the equivalency of the placebo effect with, basically, prejudicial brainwashing. Placebo effects - weirdly enough - can be lastingly real, whereas cult effects end up being painful, once you wake up.
A relative who was in the Divine Light cult for a while said, "I had more bad trips on [his guru] than I had on all the acid trips I ever took." Heh.
There was a Ted talk about brains working in harmony and it touched on how a prejudicial introduction will completely change the way a transmission is received (disharmony).

Its not Tradcon, its not progressive, etc.
Its a clusterfuck of abandonment, the island everyone else is marooned on arguing over all the things worth arguing about.

I'm not the best voice for the Alt-Right since I'm more of a classical liberal myself. But most cl-libs are cucked as all hell and are quite an unoriginal lot. Compared to the tons of new ideas about what to do to fix the world coming out of the alt-right. To me that is really important.

Our society, has by some chance developed by a confluence of history as one where both liberty and virtue existed together.
A concervative is one who wished to conserve this civilization.
As to what "conservative" means, I will suggest a few good reads:
The works of Edmund Burke
"Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" by James FitzJames Stephens
"The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America" by George H. Nash
"The Great Debate: Edmund Burke, Thomas Paine, and the Birth of Right and Left " by Yuval Levin
and
"Inventing Freedom: How the English-Speaking Peoples Made the Modern World" by Daniel Hannan

yeah, but back then were there hundreds of thousands possibly millions who had been through the first stages of indoctrination mandated by college education? most people won't take this seriously but if you listen to run of the mill SJW rhetoric this type of response is within the bounds of their moral boundaries. #KillAllWhiteMen
The most disturbing part of the entire video is when the reporter giving the interview is stammers trying to find a ideologically acceptible weasel-word but can't think of anything so accurately describes events by saying "Attacked them" and the crazy lady just has a blank look on her face, the literal reality of what happened passes right over her head.

BAMN formed when the University of California Board of Regents outlawed Affirmative Action in admissions, and were further enraged by the passing of the California Civil Rights Initiative (Prop. 209) which embedded a ban on Affirmative Action in the state Constitution.
Violent little fascists back then. Violent little fascists now.

yeah, but back then were there hundreds of thousands possibly millions who had been through the first stages of indoctrination mandated by college education? most people won't take this seriously but if you listen to run of the mill SJW rhetoric this type of response is within the bounds of their moral boundaries. #KillAllWhiteMen
The most disturbing part of the entire video is when the reporter giving the interview is stammers trying to find a ideologically acceptible weasel-word but can't think of anything so accurately describes events by saying "Attacked them" and the crazy lady just has a blank look on her face, the literal reality of what happened passes right over her head. Zero comprehension and self awareness.

Snowden is a Russian agent

===========
Snowden has been cooperating with Russian security services since Hong Kong. It's common sense that if he was not cooperating with the ruskies he wd not been allowed to enter and remain in russia.

As I explained to tmi3rd on the FaceSpace, the Japanese biker chicks in the awkward band photos are actually three Japanese female wrestlers; Crane Yu, Dump Matsumoto, and Bull Nakano. Keiko Nakano is surprisingly very MILFy these days.

Sam Kinison would have been to barhop with, and kicked out of a lot said bars. He was smart, funny, combative, and would have gotten the both of you sent to emergency rooms, if not morgues. I miss that guy. Only 4 more days of ramadamadingdong! What fresh hell awaits civilization?

29 "Neil DeGrasse Tyson's nonsensical Rationalia governmental idea"
I don't know about "Rationalia", but I think Mr. Tyson would be uniquely qualified to live in a land called "Genitalia", because the dude is a first class dick.

He's the poster boy for the "Dunning-Kreuger Effect."

I find Neil DeGrasse Tyson very likable. I think between the excruciatingly loathsome Bill Nigh and Neil DeGrasse Tyson we are lucky to have him stealing the spotlight. This sort of populist science archetype is always going to be a leftist and champion lefty "science" causes, I choose not to hold it against him.
On a side note, I recommend neal stephenson's book "Seveneves." The main character is basically a renamed Neil DeGrasse, and the author writes his point of view extremely well. It's a good example of creating both a public persona and a private one.

Greetings:
And Re: Freshman English
Back in '93, I went back to college to get another bit of education and another B.A. I was a self-supporting adult at that point, having gotten my first B.A. back in '76, so I was on a tight two-year schedule. I just wanted to take the technical courses, so I bumped up against the school's English Comp requirement.
So, I pulled together a bunch of my professional and technical writings and made an appointment with my "Guidance Counselor" to see if I could have the English Professor Full Employment Requirement waived. After doing a rather cursory review of my materials, the counselor shook her head kind of professorially and said, "Sorry, but we can't have you graduate with knowing how to write."
My reply was, "Well then, things have certainly changed. The last time I went to college you didn't get admitted if you didn't know how to write."

49 - Go you guys, why wait for a gov't to fix things?
104 - Facepalm. Okay, so they really didn't have sense enough to get out of the rain, so to speak. Somehow, not surprised.
105 - Amazing how much attention you don't get when you're not on the liberal coasts.
And as for Freshmen English.... One of my main memories from that class is group work which somehow led to a fellow student asking me, "But don't you think most people are inherently good?" With the horrified tone of, how could anyone think anything else?
My reply, "No, I think most people are inherently evil, and the ones who haven't done something truly horrible haven't had the right opportunity yet."
....And that, in a nutshell, is why I'll never trust big government. I wonder if that's why they do?

I relate to the Keith Moon school of drumming. Jonathon is rather loud in inappropriate places and unmusical. Sadly, he reminds me most of Gene Krupa.
