Overnight Open Thread (8-15-2016) [CBD]
30 Minutes of explosions from Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. Yeah...it's too much, but still....
New York City had a great run. First it was Giuliani, who cleaned up the city and allowed the uniqueness of our biggest city to shine through. He didn't care what you did, as long as it wasn't criminal. Then Bloomberg arrived with his delusions of grandeur, his Napoleonic complex, his hatred of automobiles (except his own), and a fervent desire to remake NYC into DisneyWorld. He gave it a good shot, and ruined many things, but the city still felt safe and even sort of honest.
But De Blasio is a shit-show the likes of which NYC hasn't seen in a very long time. Dinkens was incompetent, but probably not corrupt. Koch was a stand up guy, even if his politics were a bit left. Beame and Lindsey were mediocre, but not actively destructive. Crooked Bill is an awful combination of incompetent and corrupt, with a soupçon of socialist thrown in for good measure (or is that redundant?). The New Tammany Hall: New York in the Age of CorruptionThe center of the new Tammany is Mayor de Blasio's City Hall. But de Blasio is no Boss Tweed, old Tammany's criminal genius. De Blasio has emerged as more pawn than prince of the city: insecure, in over his head, buffeted by moneyed players he cannot seem to resist and presiding over accelerating pay-to-play scandals that have cast a pall of political death over his administration. Atlantic Yards offers a case study of how the new Tammany system has evolved. It's local: extending from dealmakers to a cadre de Blasio calls his "agents of the city" and to Albany's notorious "three men in a room." It's international: the deals stretch from New York and Washington to Russia and China. And it's sophisticated, powered by the global economy, the influential New York real estate industry, and non-profit entities manipulated for personal and political gain. But the central scam of the new Tammany system would not be unfamiliar to old Tammany's Plunkitt: public money for private profit. Plunkitt called it "honest graft"-gaming the system to the benefit of the powerful and well-connected, with crumbs for the common folk.Hi you guys!
Words That Hurt and Why, straight (oh...sorry) from the intellectually flaccid sewer that is California public education. Sadly, U.C. Davis used to have the reputation as a very rigorous science-oriented campus that was challenging intellectually and academically. Hottest Reliably Measured Air Temperatures on Earth
This isn't an anti-AGW screed, just an interesting analysis of the hottest temperatures ever recorded. It's seems like 54C/129F recorded in Death Valley and Kuwait is close to the theoretical top end.
Studies by geographer Mark Jefferson (1926) and by Hoffman (1963) conclude that the highest possible surface air temperature on earth (measured by standard modern instruments) would be in the range of 131-133F (see Weather and Climate Extremes by Dr. Paul F. Krause and Kathleen L. Flood, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Topographic Engineering Center paper TEC-0099, September 1997. This is an old report and does not take into account AGW. Nevertheless, as of right now, I think this assumption still holds true.Government of Nigeria reports 2 wild polio cases, first since July 2014
11 August 2016: GENEVA -- After more than two years without wild poliovirus in Nigeria, the Government reported today that 2 children have been paralyzed by the disease in the northern Borno state. As an immediate priority, the Government of Nigeria is collaborating with WHO and other partners of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative to respond urgently and prevent more children from being paralyzed. These steps include conducting large-scale immunization campaigns and strengthening surveillance systems that help catch the virus early. These activities are also being strengthened in neighboring countries.Here is one of the few circumstances in which the UN, through its World Health Organization, can have a positive effect on the world. Smaller countries can be overwhelmed by the requirements of a successful eradication effort. On this date in 1057, Mac Bethad mac Findlaich, otherwise known as Macbeth, died in battle, fighting -- who else -- the English. He was the Scottish king on whom Shakespeare (roughly) based his great play.
She should have died hereafter;The homo-eroticism is clear, and there are some obvious textual hints that Shakespeare was, at the very least, questioning, possibly a transexual, and possibly even a lesbian.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

In the 600s AD a dynasty under a snake banner conquered and/or cajoled the Maya states into an empire. But at the end they lost, and the Maya never did fully unite. The civilisation imploded some generations later.

The Guardian, of course, has come out with an opinion piece that is calling to abolish the jury system in order to convict more men of rape. Julie Bindel, the writer of this insanity, claims that 94% of rapists get away with it and that thus rape is de facto legal.

Well, that lasted about 20 years, and the League did nothing about the Italian invasion of Ethiopia, the re-occupation of the Rhineland by Germany, and then we were off to the races.
So the UN, brainchild of the FDR clique, was supposed to be better. The UN did some good things in the first ten years. Then the Third World movement came to dominate the General Assembly. If it wasn't for the US Veto in the permanent Security Council, probably all kinds of insanity would have come out of the UN.
On one level, it's kind of harmless though annoying. I think someday the General Assembly of Third World Buttheads will finally get something really terrible to happen. They're trying so hard.

Are you implying that they are to be treated against their will and that the UN does that now? You lost me.
The point is that the UN is the most unnatural and dangerous sort of entity to ever exist. It is a peerless, competitionless, empowered entity and anyone with even a smidgeon of familiarity with captialist theory or evolutionary theory or just plain common sense knows that such an entity is guaranteed to grow in dangerous and grotesque ways. Such an entity cannot be allowed to exist, for any reason, and just to be the holding company for the WHO (which also does a lot of damage, itself) is not an argument for the continued existence of the most horrible and dangerous type of unnatural entity the earth has ever seen.

We have a unique situation in the world today. In the West, masculinity is being abolished, with disastrous results. And in the muslim world, femininity has been abolished, with disastrous results. No where is the complementary nature of humanity, as God willed it, being allowed to thrive.

An Female Olympic Diving Team Has Broken Up Over an Alleged Fnck Fest
Giovanna Pedroso and Ingrid Oliveira competed in the synchronized diving final for Brazil, but they placed last.
On the eve of their competition they allegedly got into a huge fight when Pedroso came back to their hotel room and found Oliveira there with another Olympic hard body, canoeist Pedro Goncalves. It sounds like things didnt get ugly until Oliveira suggested that Pedroso find somewhere else to sleep for the night.

I try to see him every time he's in my area. The last time was in the spring during primary season. He started to say something about how ridiculous the Republican candidates were, but got a tepid response from the audience and quickly changed the subject.
I think his fans tend more conservative than he realizes, in large part because of the intelligent subject matter of his songs.

hehe - given how the GoW series is going to go (Norse Mythology) and that Playstation games are one of the few profitable portions of Sony* these days, there might be a Ghost of Valhalla game in a few years time.
I'm just trying to stay busy and keep the grueling election season from burying me completely. Hope you're doing well.
*How does it feel that Feminist Ghostbusters (2016) is now officially a flop and that Sony is going to eat at least 70 million? Suck it, Feig.

Anyway, the check out girl was rather cute and friendly. Her name was Megan.
The poor girl had no idea what perverted thoughts that name inspired in my dirty little mind.
Well, I don't much to provoke such perverted thoughts. In fact, I come up with them all by myself. That condition started around puberty. Funny.

Folks I desperately need prayers. My husband suffered a mild stroke
this morning. He wasn't feeling well since Saturday but nothing that
made us think stroke. This morning I went in to tell him I was leaving
for work and he was trying to hide it from me! His speech was slightly
slurred and his right side was very weak. Had to argue with him for 15
minutes before he finally relented and let me take him to the ER. CT
scan doesn't show anything so they will so an MRI tomorrow morning.
He's in the hospital now, exhausted but good spirits. The ER was
swamped, didn't even get a room til almost 5 this afternoon.

Well ... I have no idea what a lofovo is - but I hope it's good for you. Like, Mind-Blowing Good with a Wet Wipe and Nap needed.
This notion of "We Can Agree to Disagree". Sounds pretty on paper. Never fucking seen it once work in reality. Not over anything of substance.
Sure - me and the ol' lady can disagree on the color of drapes ... but that's mostly because I don't really give a damn.
But on things that matter - I won't budge. And Anybody That Doesn't Have To won't budge either. Unless confronted with Superior Force. Then - people look for allies. Those folks are found when common cause can be identified.
So - to bring that all back around to a thread I missed here today - just how damn surprising is it that people are telling each other to piss off over politics on social media ? And why not rally around "Tribes" in the struggle ?
Seems to me that people with disagreeable politics are disagreeable about the most powerful force in our lives ... with life or death implications.

One nice story I heard about him was that a few years ago, whilst in the U.S., Bono requested a private meeting with Billy Graham in Graham's home on the mountain. The request was granted and Bono spent an afternoon with Graham and wife Ruth (this was obviously before Ruth's death). The fact that anyone knew about it was because Billy made known how much his wife had enjoyed Bono, who matched her verse for verse on some very traditional hymns.

Why?
Because they're both absolute masters of the unique, not "off key", but "differently tonal", version of guitar and vocal tuning, and I mean that in nothing but the most complimentary manner, by the way.
I don't think anyone else can sing Crowe's "Santa Monica Blvd." (or whatever the right title is), accurately. Ever. She broke absolutely un-breakable ground on that one.
She and Mitchell would have had one hell of a collaboration in the right studio. Given the right producer, that is.
But an album from that collaboration would likely be one of those epic, transformational pieces that gets talked about, fifty years after the fact.
Yeah, leftards to the max. Granted.
But talent from another universe, combined.

This is statistical mind you, a distribution, but girls age 14-15 are the most vulnerable. That's the peak of the GoFo assaults by age.
Almost all of the rapists are Gofos. You may remember this "don't grope" campaign. Well, a bunch of the Gogos raping women were caught wearing the "Don't Grope" wristbands the idiots handed out. The local govt. actually bused in the "immigrants" to the summer festivals where they all went rapey.

No offense, but I'd mentioned Roy Clark, way upthread, along with Glenn Campbell and Chet Atkins.
If anyone doubts. Both Campbell and Clark did renditions of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, blended with Dixie... and both of 'em absolutely killed 'em.
Find them on You Tube, I'm too tired to dig them out, but they're there.
Talent like theirs still plays on the stage. But disciplined talent, like theirs, is vanishingly beyond scarce, these days.
Keith Urban plays nearly as tightly, but sadly, has never exhibited the range or "musical knowledge" to play into the Clark or Campbell playbook, albeit he is said to count Atkins as one of his guitar idols.
Of them all though, Roy Clark made it look easy, fun and approachable. Fking liar. It was never easy, was decades of hard, painful and penurious work, and about as approachable as a menopausal porcupine.
Which is why I'm a virtuoso on the stereo rack, not the actual instruments themselves.

Weiner had real momentum toward the nomination and de Blasio was nowheresville when the Sydney Leathers sexting scandal broke. And Weiner's campaign collapsed in short order.
The documentary captures the humiliation of Huma Abedin in excruciating (and therefore amusing) detail. She clearly does not care for him; it's a business arrangement whereby Huma was hoping to be able to monetize her relationship with Weiner the way her role model Hillary has monetized hers with Bill.

Sweet.
Usually, if you find a good one all they need is a good fret dressing / crowning and they play great.
Of, course. If you find a bad one, you can just start swapping parts until some seem happy together.
Fenders are nice like that.

When the Beatles would perform live... their sets were rarely, if ever, longer than 30 minutes; in fact they were usually only about 20-25. Supposedly this was because of their manager Brian Epstein, who wanted to leave the audience with just a taste of the band.
It kind of makes sense, I've read they would also have up to three other bands open up for them.

Posted by: qdpsteve at August 16, 2016 12:27 AM
Sort of Epstein's doing, but that was pretty much standard practice for all those bands back then. They were usually in package tours. There were technical reasons for doing this also, so that in non package shows (sort of standalone big venue one off concerts), that nevertheless had multiple openers... the sound systems, amps, foldback and whatnot couldn't really handle it. Much of the time the guitarists couldn't hear well enough to be able to retune their guitars on the fly, for example. So, just long enough before all the guitars go way out of tune.

Six's niece is a Belfast Peeler, the oldest female to have ever graduated the academy. 2nd in her class, btw.
She tells me that even the coppers can't carry a knife, and have to sort of "fake it" via their various Leatherman and Gerber tools.
I, on occasion, share range and training time with some former Royal Marine types, and they, to a man, cringe at the loss of what was once Great, about Britain.

And one of the only people to be building in New York, at that time, was Donald Trump - who opened the Trump Towers just as New York was emerging from the near-default in the early 70s. Everyone else was fleeing New York but Trump was determined to stay and ... "make it great".
The Trump Tower went on to be the in-building in New York and its condos were the first to go for over $1000/sq-ft.
That's when Trump really got started.

I envy him that experience. And I treasure the hours I spent hanging out at Calgary's (then) premiere blues bar, the long-gone King Edward Hotel. Got to see some big-name musicians, up close and personal. Meet them, and shake hands, even.

The Swiss have finally released the first name and last initial (but no photo) of the train attack dude; name was Simon. The police did say that he wasn't an immigrant; neighbors described him as homely and always alone.

The one time I've visited I wanted to stay at The Sahara because it was the last of the old time "Golden Era" casino/hotels.

Candlemass
Death

Bongripper
Mars Red Sky
The Cosmic Dead
Lumerians
Witch Mountain
Mondo Drag
Alice Cooper
Golden Void
Electric Citizen
Arthur Brown
I'm sure I'll discover a bunch more good bands.
Yes, a lot of them are doom metal, sludge metal, stoner metal, acid metal, and prog metal.
In particular, Arthur Brown did what Alice Cooper did stage-wise before there was an Alice Cooper.

That's too bad. As I'm remembering bits and pieces, I remember it being more mid-to-late '80s and doing a couple of seminars at the Brown Palace (that's still around, right?). One of them, on day 2, I took a guy from LA (who'd missed day 1) out there and nearly had to fireman's-carry him back to the hotel at 2 am. He looked horrible the next morning.

Worked on a big project today on my little ASUS tablet. Final thing, I was backing up my work and noticed the battery said 1% "and charging." It was plugged in all day, which means... ?... it was using more energy than it charged? It didn't even have the tablet screen on - was linked to the big screen. Did I have too many of those fat 0's compared to the skinny 1's processed?
At least, it kept powered-up until the backups were done.
I don't understand power management on this thing. Seems like it runs off the battery, no matter what. But it can, as today, run down while charging. ? Why can't it charge the battery, but just run off the line power when it's plugged in? Not enough zots going down that little USB connector line to do both? What? What?
When I unplugged and moved to home base, I had to wait a while until it had recharged enough to boot up. Meanwhile, I looked at the thread via the cell. Being on a byte-limited AT&T line at home, I rarely click on the many no-doubt great vids to which folks on the ONT link (big sadz). But tonight, on the little cell screen with tinny speakers, I did watch Sue Foley New Used Car. That was okay, thanks.

Here's the thing -- as sensational as those stories are....you have to subvert the program that is running. You can have as much backdoored disk firmware as you want, but you can still encrypt the data stored there and use it in RAM.
The problem is not whether it's in Windows, on a thumbdrive, over the network, or embedded in drive firmware....the problem is with the legal authorization of mass surveillance. After that, it's merely logistics and implementation.

Don't click my nic! Don't watch the video of me singing five of my songs. I'm out of practice, the piano's out of tune, my voice is not even what it was when I was younger, I can't carry a tune or keep a beat, my songs are dumb, the audio and video quality is mediocre-to-abysmal, and I don't want to hear from you about how I wasted your time. Since I posted it last week, I've had 3 hits, which I think were all me checking the upload. Totally non-viral!
Lucky there's almost no one here but the wisest of the wise who will heed my warning, so I likely won't sucker anyone in.
And don't look for my second show, coming up later this week (that was the big project I was working on today).
OTOH, daughter told me tonight she (FINALLY!) read all of my story, Invulnerable. (Unlike my music, I half-heartedly recommend this story). As far as she could recall, she had previously only read some of the first part. She remarked, it took a really strange turn in the part 2. Heh. That was the idea. She admitted it might've even got dusty in a few places. Couldn't ask for more than to move the reader!

Actually, RAID5 hasn't been reliable for quite a long time due to the massive capacity of the drives now in use:
http://www.zdnet.com/article/why-raid-5-stops-working-in-2009/
With multi-TB drives the likelihood of getting another unrecoverable error before a rebuild completes become unacceptably high. RAID6 is really needed and in general RAID isn't regarded as a backup strategy. At best, it's a reliability and performance strategy for some types of storage.

Drives B, C, D, E will naturally become a RAID array. Using 2T drives, it'll have a capacity of roughly 6T. RAIDed drives have to be the same size, so RAID5 partitions end up being the smallest available on a drive.
This leaves you with drive A, which I intend to put an SSD into. With Xen, I should have /, /boot, and dom0. I'd be interested in increasing performance with a swap partition and a disk cache.
I've got 480G of SSD to play with -- how should I allocate it to cache/swap/data/boot/dom0 and /?

Strangest sleep cycle I had was at end of my Air Force time working
midnight to morning. I had done that many times there but got on
schedule that when I got off work only slept 4 hrs ad was awake, then
around 8pm was so dead tired I fell asleep but had to get up by midnight
to work again. That lasted weeks but finally broke it.

I worked rotating shift work almost my entire adult life. I got to he point where I worked better on night shift that day shift and was tired all the time on day shift. And my last rotation was the worst you could have. It was a fast rotation backwards.

Just got to keep that AGW scam going despite everybody else dropping it due to overwhelming proof that the Sun is causing the cyclic temperatures on earth and despite the fact they keep predicting all these hurricane and we have actually have a record breaking LACK of hurricanes for a long time.
