Thursday Night Overnight Open Thread (8/25/16) [Mis. Hum.]
Common Sense
We cannot fix failed states by inviting millions of their people to move in with us. All that ensures is more failed states, more failure, and eventually, one by one, the nations of the west will join them. And then you'll really be yearning to breathe free and there will be nowhere to do it.
Mark Steyn If you take emotion out of the equation (liberals cannot or will not). Steyn is spot on. He is not alone. A recent poll shows that there are too many immigrants. It is sad and infuriating that bureaucrats do not rationally think things through and completely disregard the average citizen. I wonder how secure his home is and how tall the fence is? The E.U. President could care less about his fiduciary duty to Europe. He doubles down on mass immigration.Steyn discusses freedom. And the E.U. treats their citizens as serfs. In a way Europe deserves what they have sown. Although it is hard to see people who are not free. Already destabilizing the EU project and the post-WWII center-left/right political compromise, all trends show that unless steps are taken to make Europe less attractive, the migrant crisis will build on its own momentum.
Will the Europeans say enough? Time will tell.
History Lessons
On this day in 1944 Paris rid of Nazis.SUPREME HEADQUARTERS, Allied Expeditionary Force, Aug. 25 -- The Paris radio announced late tonight that the French capital had been liberated and that the German commander had signed a document ordering his troops to cease fire immediately. The announcement followed entry of American and French troops into the capital during the day. There was no immediate confirmation here. The latest word at headquarters was that American and French troops had joined Fighting French patriots on the Ile de la Cite in the heart of the capital after bitter fighting with Germans and French collaborationist militiamen.

Previously Hillary Clinton tweeted that every sexual assault survivor had “the right to be believed.” After that, she reiterated that “every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported.” That is until Juanita Broaddrick started making waves. Now Hillary is silent about women and their claims of sexual assault.

Forget the name of course, but Paris was saved major damage by the disobedience of the German commander, who had been ordered to destroy it prior to its falling to the Allies.
You've probably seen the 60s movie - Is Paris Burning? - title based I think on an actual message directed towards the faithless commander - "Brennt Paris?".
Funny, reading Kershaw's bio of Hitler (last one, '36-'45), and Hitler's orders were frequently not followed, at least in the early days. There seemed to be no problem with it, der Fuhrer never got upset about it. The "Downfall" movie and parodies depict a very different person, consumed by megalomania and drugs essentially, who was far crazier than he was just a few years before (the evil and essential craziness were constant, I would note).

True, but understates the case, WRT Mexico.
The "flexibility" and income stream afforded the corrupt, horrible Mexican social structure by mass illegal migration/work in the US has been a key factor in delaying needed reform or evolution there.
So yes, ignorant morally narcissistic race-baiting pro-mass illegal migration idiots, you're damaging two countries with your idiocy, including esp. the poor and needlessly struggling working classes of Mexico.

For the foreseeable future, this means that we have to limit immigration (from ALL countries**) if we want to keep even the hope of America as a Constitutional Republic based on classical liberal principles alive, but I think its also important not to do so under mistaken assumptions. It is a means to an end necessitated by contemporary reality, not an ideal policy for all future circumstances.
tl;dr: Its Muslims, not people from poor countries. Anybody who thinks Swedish immigrants would be less socialist than Mexican immigrants is fooling themselves.
*The problems not caused by its own embrace of socialism and rejection of federal state structures, I mean. Europe can't exactly assimilate immigrants away from left-wing beliefs they hold themselves.
**we should also prioritize victims of Muslim persecution when deciding who we do allow in.

He's right. By closing off the escape valves (i.e., preventing a mass exodus of illegals or refugees) you can hope to build enough pressure in a failed country for the people to rise up and actually make the changes necessary to fix the country in the long term.
In the short term, that means human suffering that people can see (which is why it is so politically difficult to maintain stiff border controls -- no-one wants to feel as if they are causing hardship to poor families and women and children), but with the hope that a greater amount of human suffering can be prevented in the long term.

Bo gets all the headlines, but Brian Jordan was a much more well-rounded baseball player. Of course, Bo had those 'wow' moments that only happen when you are a once-in-a-lifetime athlete like he was - but Jordan had the much better MLB career.

Deion was a decidedly average MLB player - but that's amazing when you combine it with his Hall of Fame NFL career. He was definitely the fastest player in the MLB for a good bit of his prime, but he was never the best base stealer because he didn't learn the craft of reading pitchers. It's amazing that he, Bo and Brian Jordan were basically exact contemporaries.

Europe got to where it is from the Middle Ages. It may be in decline now, but as long as there are more Europeans now than there were then, there is at least a hope of recovery.
Their enemies still haven't evolved past their 8th century barbarian culture. All Europe has to do is todecide that it is not morally obligated to allow itself to be ass raped by such creatures. That if they want to help them, they can be helped at a distance, where they cannot endanger European lives.

I think perhaps one reason Albert Speer escaped the noose at Nuremburg is that he traveled around what was left of Germany in the last week before VE Day, countermanding the Fuhrerbefehl to destroy everything left standing. At least he claimed to have done so, driving the highways in his BMW roadster.

Yup. Jordan had the best MLB career, Deion had the best NFL career, and Bo was the best athlete of the trio - heck, he's one of the best athletes of all-time. Probably would have had the best NFL career without the hip injury. Like you said, he never really dedicated himself to baseball so I don't think he would have ever been a truly great MLB player - but on raw talent he managed some good seasons.

Do NOT bring a banana on a boat especially if you're going fishing. All kinda superstitions about bananas and bad luck. Our guide a few years ago wigged out when my husband jokingly said he'd brought a banana to snack on.
Yes, yes. Go to a nude beach and you will then be all on board with anti nudity laws. Ones that convinced me: inadvertently staying in a hotel that overlooked the naked race in SF and then later mistakenly biking down Blacks Beach in SD.
Lastly, hot sauce is not the inherent right of blacks. My Mexican gfs practically drink stuff that would kill any normal person. So with my bumper crop of habaneros, I made a salsa to bring them tomorrow. A salsa I cannot have more than a few drops of and these gals will pour it over their eggs. They amaze me.

We were talking about dreams last night, and early this morning I had a doozy. There was a big party at my house. Not a wild party, just a bunch of people of various ages standing around talking. I didn't know any of them, yet I didn't find that disturbing. There were a number of odd details, like a coat hanger with a long downward-pointing spike whose purpose I did not understand.
It was raining heavily, and at one point I noticed water flowing like a small river in the living room. That meant the sump pump had stopped working. I frantically went through my dad's old rolodex looking for the plumber he used to use.
About that time I heard a persistent beeping. There were several small pager-like devices scattered around the house. No sooner would I shut one off than another one would start, and I had to go looking for it. I still hadn't found the name of the plumber.
Eventually I realized that the beeping was coming from my alarm clock. Time to wake up!

One other thing: Several years ago I dreamed that I opened a door in my house and discovered an entire floor that I never knew existed. It was mostly empty, but there were a few items of furniture. The rooms were spacious. One had a fireplace, and there was even an exterior entrance. The rooms looked like they had been abandoned for decades. That was one of the strangest and most vivid dreams I've ever had. It wasn't a nightmare. I was fascinated by the discovery. I should have written about that one in last night's thread but didn't think of it.
That "mystery floor" has made appearances in other subsequent dreams, including the one this morning. I think that's the oddest thing of all.

I can offer a simple argument against your assertion. Would you use your cloaking technology to avoid detection by a bunch of ants? If there are aliens and they are advanced enough to be able to travel faster than light why would they even bother using it on such primitives as us? It would be a waste of energy to use it to hide from creatures that can do nothing about them being here anyways.

Remember my two sisters and bro-in-laws I've told you about, the sane ones and the not-so-sane ones?
Everything is fine with the sane ones, but last night at 10:30 me and my mom got a call to come over to the home of the not-so-sane ones. Off we went; we didn't have much information.
Anyway, my sister who I've told you all seems to have a *drinking problem* (although I'm not ready to call her an all-out alcoholic)... anyway, she had an (not so clear to me) episode of bad behavior with her 11-year-old daughter, who is my niece.
Long story a little bit shorter: my sister had an epiphany and is now openly seeking treatment for her drinking. It turns out, and I had not really known this, she's been suffering from horrible back pain and her meds haven't been working. Regardless of the reasons for the problem however, this sister has announced she's greatly amping up her efforts to (a) get her back problems dealt with and (b) STOP DRINKING.
Needless to say, me and my mom were very happy to hear this news and am supporting her 100%. There's even already some signs it's helping with her marriage (this sister and her husband are at this point frighteningly estranged).
So I just wanted to share this. Proof God does answer prayers, and anyone who wants to send up additional prayers for my sister and her family are more than welcome to do so, in fact thanks in advance. :-)

I was curious about the banana cures heartburn claim in the pic that you posted, since they actually give me heartburn. No help at the link, though. They don't add anything to the factoid there.
I googled around and it turns out that bananas are an acidic food (ph of 5.6). They do work as an antacid for some, but for others they are the problem instead of the cure.

Speaking of Mexican gfs:
I still recall the conversation last week or two about being unmotivated, run down, blah etc. etc. and the subject of low T came up.
I decided to go get checked and sure enough I have both a Vitamin D deficiency and "mildly" low testosterone. Doc is starting me off with shots and got my first one yesterday.
I wouldn't say I'm the most happy go lucky guy on the planet yet, but I can say that fatigued, lethargic feeling has by and large gone away already.
So if you're still feeling that way, I'd absolutely recommend getting checked out. Already glad I did.

I'll pretty much eat any hot sauce though and don't have a particular favorite.

Not without massive casualties and dealing with a decades' long religious insurgency. We could have told Saudi Arabia to GFT after 9/11 and gone Manhattan Project on never buying oil from them again, but instead we got "Islam means peace" and have since become progressively more tied to them, to the point that our Middle East policies are driven primarily by/for them. The Bush/Hillary/Obama legacy has been awful.

Well... of course it's a bit underwhelming if that's all you're doing. A cold cuts and cheese sandwich slapped together in the morning to be eaten several hours later isn't going to be a culinary delight; it's just going to be what you need to keep yourself chugging through the rest of the workday. It can still taste good, but it's not going to be fine gourmet food, no matter how you put it together.
Great sandwiches require some extra preparation, and aren't going to taste quite so great after several hours sitting in your lunch bag, and there's no way around that.
The best sandwiches are variants on hamburgers, hot dogs, cheesesteak, grilled cheese and heroes. What do they all have in common? When you order them at a restaurant, they're served up fresh and hot.
Reuben? A type of grilled cheese. Po'boy? A hero. French dip? A cheesesteak.

They used to grow all the peppers there but apparently know it's just seed stock and most of the peppers are grown in South America (can't remember which country). The pepper fields are still big (at least to my eyes) but I guess they used to be bigger. Workers would live on the island (own post office, school - not really an island) but now it's only a few employees. There's some deal with a contractor mining on the island (forgot the details) and nature preserves, tourism, etc. Know some distant relatives and they all live inside the Island.

I know, it's supposed to be the go-to sauce for making hot wings, but I've found other sauces to be better for that purpose. But I'm also not a huge fan of butter-based hot wing sauce. I think that's more of a legacy issue - the original Anchor Bar Buffalo Wings were basically Frank's Red Hot and butter, so that's what constitutes a 'traditional' hot wing sauce.

I can offer a simple argument against your assertion. Would you use your cloaking technology to avoid detection by a bunch of ants? If there are aliens and they are advanced enough to be able to travel faster than light why would they even bother using it on such primitives as us? It would be a waste of energy to use it to hide from creatures that can do nothing about them being here anyways.

The last "grinder" I had had been put together with very wet tomatoes. The entire sandwich stack perforce slipped on random vectors with every bite.
Hate that. Perhaps pre-compression would force out enough of the excess moisture to let the damn thing structurally cohere.

Oh, for sure - local sauces are much better. But for a generic no-frills hot sauce that you can buy in basically any supermarket in America, Texas Pete and Tabasco are perfectly cromulent.
CaJohns is the closest place to me that specializes in hot sauce, but I always try to hit up the Pepper Palace when I'm near one. I know they have lots of locations, including a kiosk at BWI airport (Baltimore/Washington aka Thurgood Marshall), but the only brick and mortar location I've been to is the one at National Harbor, MD.

Those are bonito flakes, right? I've used them for making onigiri and it's a necessity for miso soup, since it's a base for dashi. I've always wanted to try authentic Okonomiyaki, which IIRC usually has bonito flakes on top.

I've smelled them on pizza and oh god, it was like a garbage can.
But someone made a Caesar's salad for me once and I didn't know what it was because of the way she prepared it -- she food-processed the dressing (anchovies and all) and thoroughly tossed the salad so every leaf had a thin coating of the dressing. It tasted incredible.

Uh, what do you mean by "but"? Why wouldn't any Hollywood star offer at least a few token words of support for a fellow Hollywood star whose website got hacked?
The "but" part implies that "she deserved it" is, like, some sort of mainstream opinion or something, and the Hollywood stars standing with Leslie Jones are somehow being, like, brave or something.
No, she's a victim of a crime, and "standing with her" is the least to be expected of a decent citizen. You're not blazing new trails and transforming society, here, Matt Damon or whoever else might've been quoted in that most certainly asinine article which I chose not to read.
It reminds of those ads I used to see all the time at the movie theater, about "standing up to cancer". They'd show some famous actor just sitting around being all famous and stuff, and then he'd turn and look at the camera, and then he'd get this defiant look on his face and he'd courageously stand up to show how he's bravely opposed to... cancer.
Oh, yeah, because it takes so much courage to be opposed to cancer.
Find me someone who's outspokenly pro-cancer, and I'll salute that person's courage, while... perhaps making a joke or two questioning his sanity. But being anti-cancer is exactly meriting of the Red Badge of Courage.

Let us not confuse rigorous classical philosophy with the vague mush currently being disbursed under the same term in today's universities.
Just as one may today obtain a Ph.D in "English Literature" from the University of California without having read a word of Chaucer, one may easily obtain a doctorate in philosophy from many top schools without ever going near Plato or Aristotle.

When I had the windshield replaced today, it was a good price... but at a place located in, let's say, not the greatest neighborhood in Long Beach.
This auto glass shop was in an *old* service station, without even a waiting room. They had three folding chairs outside the garage, and the place was directly across the street from a Church's Chicken.
Well... there was a 40-something woman who, the entire time I waited at this window place (an hour and a half), was also sitting at an outdoor table at Church's. She had obvious mental problems; she was openly, LOUDLY talking to herself, and at one point she spent 10 minutes SCREAMING at someone who wasn't there. Literally screaming.
For about 20 minutes, a Church's employee came out and sat next to her. I got the impression they knew each other. But he eventually went back inside. She seemed a bit better behaved after that.
Anyway. In the past I would have been entertained by this, but this time I didn't know what to think, except perhaps for some sadness for this woman.

I sometimes work, and sell, alongside some of the best people in the industry.
Let me put some truth to Teh Horde.
Dollar for Dollar. Value for Value.
Daniel Defense is one of the rare, and consistently best, values in the industry, hands down.
Someone up thread, mentioned the Colt for a sub-$1,000 price. Read again...
We're talking .308/7.62x51 here. Your .5.56 agruments are...weak.
Yes, it costs a comparative fortune to feed the beast. So, you sight in, establish zero, then begin to work on precision shooting at extended range, with a qualified spotter.
The 7.62 begins to wake up at about 400 yds, when the 5.56, in the 55 gr./ 1/9 twist barrel, begins to wobble.
I'm a huge fan of the 5.56 in the right conditions, specs, and hardware configuration. My favorite AR is an 18" bbl., 1/8 twist .223 Wylde chambered example thereof, with some quality glass atop.
But the wallop goes to the AR-10, which is not an AR-15.
And for both, Daniel Defense is likely the best balance of quality, accuracy, durability, parts list, etc.
You can buy a Wilson or a Brown for 2x the price. But only 10% (if that) the improvement in hardware or performance.
Well done on the D.D. purchase, by the way.

The best summer sammich at a good deli is a cold Rueben. Instead of sauerkraut , go for cole slaw. Everything else is the same, just not grilled.

Just as one may today obtain a Ph.D in "English Literature" from the University of California without having read a word of Chaucer, one may easily obtain a doctorate in philosophy from many top schools without ever going near Plato or Aristotle.

Absolutely true. A philosophy grad from the University of Chicago who went on to get a law degree from Georgetown was one of the smartest people I have ever known - and went from being a liberal to a conservative during the time I knew her because she was able to reason so rigorously and had to admit that logic and truth was not on the Democrats' side.
"Logic 101" is Philosophy. And I am floored by how many millennials appear not to have taken it because so many are incapable of following the most elementary logic, or of spotting a false argument.

For the last several years OEMs like Dell have included an app to create a disc set. On some systems it will pester the hell out of you until you do it. That is very annoying but from what I've seen, if they don't pester people it gets ignored.
Fortunately, Dell and HP Windows disc images are fairly easy to turn up on torrent sites. Just make sure it's been up for a good while and hasn't any comments complaining of surprise inclusions.

I have one sub sub for cheesesteaks, one for the occasional steak-um craving, and anyone else for a meatball sub.
Everyone around here loves "Zeros" a dump of a local chain.
Decwnt meatball, but swear - every other sub tastes the same. I don't care if t you order bologna or turkey or roast beef, it tastes like bread and oil, with a head of lettuce on a loaf of bread.

Tabasco: as I recall, the McIlhenny Company is the only well-known and successful one to have trademarked a proper name, which is normally not done. Think it was a legal judgement decades ago. Tabasco of course is the name of the pepper variety, which took its name in turn from the Mexican state of that name.
Anyway, big, unique commercial advantage. And the company used to hire people - world-wide - to patrol restaurants looking for someone infringing on the trademark by using the name.
Jim from Galveston has retired, but I was going to ask him about twist rates and barrel material. 1/7, 1/8/, or 1/9, for a 16" barrel for a basic carbine configuration? Stainless, chrome-lined, whatever for the bore? Building my first AR (slowly), and just in the self-edumucation stage.
Mike H., your WWII friend was of course correct about the impact of the Garand vs. the little brother M1. But I just think of the weight of that ammo. I'll take both kinds to the range some times and the Garand ammo weighs a ton.

He used to wouldn't have done something like that for anything.
And, on the riding mower, when turning the blades right, I noticed a damn bearing is loose. That's something else that's gonna need fixin'.

As it turns out my schedule won't change until October 2, so we could have kept our original plans to go to the mountains that weekend. I think we will still go to Lenoir for the big car show (last one of the season) on the 1st but will skip the rest of the outing we had planned for that weekend, it would probably be tough for me to get that Sunday off.

Overall and ballistically the M1 is a short range gun with marginal accuracy (was literally conceived as a replacement for the 45/1911 pistol), ARs of course can be made into much longer range weapons with good accuracy.

Excerpt from his story:
"When we returned to the American sector with the 6th Army Special Intelligence I had a new mission- General Romulo's wife and son were left on the island behind enemy lines.
The guerillas had built an airstrip where a cub plane could land. We set up signals and were able to evacuate the son, wife, and brother. There was no room for me- I had to walk out. It took six or seven days and I traveled at night."

The Coen Brothers felt that the song Flowers For My Grave, by Townes Van Zandt, would be awesome to play during the end credits of The Big Lebowski. They got in touch with Van Zandt, and he demanded $100,000 for the use of his song.
Joel and Ethan didn't want to shell out that kind of money, and they got the bright idea to invite Townes Van Zandt to a private screening of the movie. Hey, maybe if he likes the movie, he'll accept less money, you know? That's what they were thinking.
Van Zandt accepted the Coens' offer of a private screening. And at the precise moment I just posted in my previous comment, when The Dude stated, "I hate the fuckin' Eagles, man", Van Zandt stood up and told the Coen Brothers, "I've seen enough. You can use my song for free," and he walked out the door.
Because Townes Van Zandt also hated the fuckin' Eagles, man.

Of course the joy/evil of ARs is that you can build multiple uppers with different barrels and calibers and doo-hickeys - so one lower could be used for my basic short-range build and (eventually) a longer-range build.

This is one of the strains of the UFO stuff, one of many. In this version, it goes like this: Roswell crash aliens were from Zeta Reticuli, a planet around Zeta Reticuli 1 -- it's a binary (no exoplanets have yet been found in that system, as far as I know).
One lived. When he got his "sub-space" radio fixed, he phoned home, and they proposed an exchange program. Which we did, which launched in 1964. Twelve of our guys went to their planet, which we call "Serpo", and lived there for 10 years. 3 died over the course, and 2 decided to stay and 7 came home.
Here, they have them using worm holes. It takes 9 months travel time, most of that getting to and from the worm hole(s) they use.
This is but one of many variations on the UFO crap.
Me, sadly I've decided that FTL just ain't gonna happen. There are potential causality problems, even with the various GR "warp drive" things. Closed time like curves are possible, which means grandfather paradoxes can be created.
I just don't believe physics can allow the possibility of such of a thing.

A couple of things -
1) Causality is already a casualty of quantum theory.
2) The "grandfather paradox" is a non-issue. It is based on the concept of a single, linear concept of time and really has no meaning. The simple fact is that if someone ever actually traveled into "the" past then it is a whole different universe since it contains particles (the traveler) that it didn't contain on the first time around. It is not the same universe.
The other problem with the grandfather paradox is that it elevates the reality of the time traveler over everyone else - as if the entire universe revolved about the single traveler and everyone and everything else (at all future times) was a slave to the whims of that single traveler. That doesn't really make sense in any way. Sure, it might be true ... but I highly, highly, highly doubt the universe would be so perverse and silly.

Are we supposed to believe that aliens who've figured out the secrets of moving faster than light don't already have that sort of technology to keep us from seeing them? They can move faster than light, but don't know how to bend light to keep us from seeing them while they're stealthily observing us?
Yeah. I'm not buying it.

Just another obstacle to overcome. When train travel became a viable option it was generally accepted that the speeds the locomotives could run (20mph) would cause all sorts of physical ailments. At the beginning of the jet age the sound barrier was considered an insurmountable objective. Sooner or later we will figure out how to cross the light speed barrier, it will probably involve physics that we either have not yet discovered or do not fully understand at this time.

I destroy my own worldline that got me to go back in time in the first place.

Yesterday, I fired it up, and it ran for about a minute, and the magic smoke all came out of the motor, and it quit dead. Must have had an issue with the centrifugal switch inside it, I guess. I replaced the motor with one off a defunct Campbell Hausfield 3/4 HP oil-less compressor, and that is working just fine.
I've run about 2/3 of a 5-gallon pail of parts through so far, and they have turned out great. Even thick scale has vanished. Sometimes a light patina of rust remains, but not enough obstruct the threads on threaded parts. There was a rusted-solid pair of old slip-joint pliers in the first batch, and when it came out, the joint worked freely, and the pliers were perfectly useable again.
It's really a fantastic way to bulk-clean small metal parts ranging in size from circa 1/4" to about 10 inches. Noisy, though, LOL.

No. I'm thinking of the whole of quantum and what it says about the universe. Quantum theory basically says that no physical laws exist, only metaphysical probabilities that work out so that things tend to happen regularly enough for it to APPEAR that there are physical laws. This is what Einstein objected to.
Nothing in quantum theory requires causality. There isn't really a notion of movement in quantum. THings don't move from A to B. A thing is observed at A and then, at some point, it's observed at B, but it didn't "traverse" any particular path from A to B.
Entanglement also provides more direct examples of causality issues but it isn't just entanglement. Quantum, as a whole, is a shift in world view from "Laws of Physics" to "Metalaws of Probabilistic Observance", and that is a big-time change from our intuitive idea of a rational universe. As I said, this was what offended Einstein so much as he believed very firmly in concrete laws of physics.
Well, no information can travel faster than light -- there is no way to communicate with it. In fact, and I wish I could remember it, a professor of mine went to great pains to explain, that no, no information is traveling along a space-like path. It's a clever little trick.
Meh. There is no way to "prove" that. That's probably why you can't remember the argument
The grandfather paradox is a big deal. An "acausal spacetime", is a big deal as well. With an acausal spacetime, you've got dogs and cats living together.
The grandfather paradox isn't about an acausal spacetime but about a single, linear time axis. It has nothing to do with causality but hinges on the notion that if you travel back in time and meet me in the past then if you kill me then I will be dead in my current present - though that doesn't even make sense since my current present would never managed to actually be "lived" since the past is now totally different. So, it's assuming that if you travel to the past I will basically just disappear from my present because you're presence in that past will already have totally altered that universe and all that follow from it.
This business of "another universe". Hell, that's one idea. Every possibility exists in some parallel universe. Every choice that ever has been made exists. And one just jumps. Somehow, when one time travels.
You don't have to go so far as the "all alternatives are tested in new universal branches", but only to say, with respect to possible travel to the past, that once a traveler appears in a past universe it forms a whole new branch that bears no relation to the later moments of the original universe - i.e. your travelinig back n time has no effect on me in the present. I just see you disappear and then go about my day as usual.
There is no proof of any of that, it's just pure speculative fancy. In this universe, if I can back in time, and form a closed time-like loop, meaning I can intereract with my ownself at a earlier time on my own worldine, then what if kill my younger self. I destroy my own worldline that got me to go back in time in the first place.

Posted by: publius (not Breitbart publius) at August 26, 2016 01:52 AM (DW+jj)
Yeah ... like I said, the only sensible idea that I can make of past time travel is that a node is formed with the arrival of a traveler and a whole new universe develops from there. ANything else ends up making no sense, really. That doesn't mean that other stuff isn't possible, of course - the universe has revealed many aspects that are anti-intuitive. But, with every new theory we build of the universe it always seems to make sense (except for quantum, which really splits the physical universe from rationality, leaving it only tethered by the luck of "nice" probability distributions).
That's how I see things, at least.

I'm thinking that FTL travel probably cannot be done within the Universe. But space-time is curved. What happens if you pop out of the universe, travel at near-infinite speed through, well, nothing, and pop back in some point thousands of light-years distant. Then you return on the reciprocal route, and your friends and relatives are still here to greet you, because you have spent no time traveling at relativistic velocities in the Universe. That should preserve causality.
Wormholes, in other words.

I've been reading SF for about 45 years and find I increasingly believe less and less of it. The most fantastic things that became reality in my lifetime were either completely missed by those trying to predict the future or are only vaguely similar. John Brunner's 'The Shockwave Rider' got a few things right but got completely wrong why those thing came to be. And is one of the more successful predictions.
Generation ships: I just don't believe in the long term functioning without a level of technology that is almost magical. Given that, we bother seeking out a habitable planet when all you need is enough raw material to just MAKE one.
Sleeper ships: Nobody has the slightest clue as to how that would be made to work without, again, technology indistinguishable from magic, like a stasis field.
At this point I don't even get enthused about manned exploration of Mars. It just doesn't seem to have any point. There is never going to a substantial permanent population without terraforming and that is extremely improbable. No magnetic field, meaning any carefully constructed atmosphere wouldn't last long. Altering the place to have a suitable magnetic field would be a task of such magnitude as to raise the question, again, why not just make a planet from scratch if you have that level of capability. You could take all of the raw materials from one of the gas giants without making a dent.
Maybe AIs, if they should ever become real, will make the trip.

The phrase is "closed time-like paths". This is basically communicating or trvaveling with your previous self. Sending a message back in time to yourself. That is where you run afoul of casuality.
I go through the wormhole. I cause all sort of shit to happen. I send a message to my previous self saying "Don't go through the wormhole! You'll die!". My previous self doesn't go through. So all that shit that I made happen couldn't happen. And I couldn't have sent myself a message to say don't do it.

I'll have to take a real look at that theorem and see what the assumptions entail.
The professor was trying to show that there's nothing "spooky" about entanglement, nothing to get ones panties in a wad over.
But there definitely is something very spooky about entanglement. What happens with entanglement is far beyond human comprehension. We can comprehend the results of entanglement, perhaps, but not the "actions", themselves. Any physicist who claims that entanglement is no big thing is lying to someone - either himself or his audience.
Indeed, quantum theory is about probabilities, and odds, not certainties. And he used a mundane statistical analogy that was equivalent, and no one would give it a second thought.
I'd have to hear that. There's a difference between a probabilistic event and the idea that everything that happens in the universe are just probabilistic events.
God does play dice. But, it's still a sort of determinism. Just a statistical one.
Heh. That's pretty funny - statistical determinism. It isn't deterministic. It's a meta-law that just says that things happen regularly enough to give the impression of laws.
You get an odds sheet, not an exact prescription. But the odds of any information traveling along a spacelike path is exactly zero.
Posted by: publius (not Breitbart publius) at August 26, 2016 02:21 AM (DW+jj)
Yes, but that means that there are no Laws of Physics. There is no such thing as "motion". There are only meta-laws of probability distributions (that appear out of nowhere, essentially, and can never be known to be true, since all we can do is relate observations and make estimates on what those observations mean). Quantum includes in itself the idea that one can never know the universe, exactly because it does away with physical laws and replaces them with probability distributions. This jives, of course, with Heisenberg, though it is not the same thing.

I've in good company though. Hawking has used the phrase "determined probabilities".
It's just what reality actually is. It's not the billiard balls and exact paths of classical physics. And it's funny how that random world of probabilities produce a pretty deterministic looking macro world, where we divine these classical notions of reality.
God is play dice, but the game has rules. Determined rules. The laws are about the rules. And one of those rules is thou shalt not propagate causal influences along space-like paths.

"Bananas face global extinction in as little as five years"
Hahahahahahahahaha [wipes tears from eyes} hahahahahaha.
You do realize, I hope, that this EXACT story is often cited as THE classic exemplar of "modern Internet hoax journalism."
Every year -- every single year -- since about 1994, there is a cyclical wave of panic-inducing news stories always saying the exact same thing: That bananas are about to go extinct.
And every year, after the lie has encircled the globe seven times and everyone has already fallen for it, a few weary scientists step forward to explain that, No, bananas are not going extinct, the story is not only all bullshit, but hackneyed bullshit that keeps getting repeated. But these rebuttals get much less press.
And then, guess what happens a year later? Boom, another wave of "bananas are going extinct" stories. Which, as always, are all false.
No one has ever figured out what it is about the "extinct bananas" hoax meme that makes it such an enduring classic, which everyone seems to fall for over and over again, mysteriously forgetting that they fell for it last year and they year before and the year before....
There are other endlessly repeated clickbait hoax stories as well, but none as successful as the sad bananas teetering on extinction. It just amazes me that there are so so many lies that refuse to die.
We as a culture thought that the Internet would evolve to become the ultimate Verification Device, forever extirpating the promulgation of falsehoods, because for the first time one could check to see if something was a lie or not. Little did we ever dream that the reverse would be true -- the the Internet would very quickly pass the "tipping point" of containing more falsehoods than truths, such that it would end up accelerating culture's descent into total irrevocable fact-limbo, in which it is impossible ever know if anything is true or not.

Nothing wrong with that.
I've in good company though. Hawking has used the phrase "determined probabilities".
I hear you. I was just remarking on how funny it sounded. It IS a bit of a mauling of the word "determin[istic]".
As I wrote, it's the move from "laws" to "meta-laws". I'm not a fan. I'll stick with Einstein
It's just what reality actually is. It's not the billiard balls and exact paths of classical physics.
Forget "exact paths" ... there's really no such thing as "movement". Let's call a spade a spade, here.
And it's funny how that random world of probabilities produce a pretty deterministic looking macro world, where we divine these classical notions of reality.
It seems a bit overly fortuitous, I would say.
God is play dice, but the game has rules. Determined rules. The laws are about the rules.
Maybe ... but you can never know. Even if quantum were the true, ultimate, exact model of the universe, which really seems exceedingly unlikely since we have never seen any actual exact representation in reality of a mathematical model. Never. Even the number "1" affords no actual representations in the known universe - other than the assumption of the single, closed universe (which also happens to be the only truly "closed" system that we may encounter in reality, though all of physics is built on assumptions of closed systems ...).
And one of those rules is thou shalt not propagate causal influences along space-like paths.

That's no longer even under debate. In fact, the redheadedness gene is the unmistakable marker of Neanderthal ancestry.
We now know that homo sapiens, originally back in Africa, looked pretty much like Ethiopians and Eritreans do today. But when one group emigrated northward, they encountered and starting having sex with the Neanderthals they encountered, which is what conferred the (originally exclusive to Neanderthals) genes for red hair, pale skin and various other signature traits which, a couple hundred thousand years later, evolved into what humans culturally deemed as "whiteness", or the "Caucasians."
It's fallacy to say that Neanderthals went extinct. White people are Neanderthals, or at least what they became.

At this point I don't even get enthused about manned exploration of Mars. It just doesn't seem to have any point. There is never going to a substantial permanent population without terraforming and that is extremely improbable. No magnetic field, meaning any carefully constructed atmosphere wouldn't last long.
Posted by: Epobirs at August 26, 2016 02:31 AM (IdCqF)
10,000 years ago we were hunting animals with spears, and now we're talking about terraforming planets. It's occurred to me that it doesn't matter if an artificially-created atmosphere on Mars doesn't last long. Mars is not a final destination, but only the first step on a journey that leads elsewhere; maybe to many elsewheres.

Posted by: #DenosovanLivesMatter
To be honest, I don't know much about the blonde hair gene. But yeah, I think it must have evolved much more recently, since neither original humans back in Africa nor Neanderthals had the gene for it.
And since blonde hair doesn't (as far as anybody has been able to figure) confer any survival advantage, it must have spread entirely through "sexual selection," i.e. primitive peoples must have thought that the first genetically mutant blonde chicks were attractive in a freaky sort of way, and so knocked them up, to pass on their defective white-hair genes to their daughters. And so on through the generations.
As for whether Neanderthal red hair genes being different from modern red hair genes -- the debate over that is still ongoing. Most likely it probably originated in Neanderthals, but then continued evolving after the transfer to homo sapiens. But from what I've read, we really don't have enough data yet to know the full story.

The possibility of planets orbiting other stars has been suspected for centuries, but there was no way to know. According to Wikipedia, the first confirmed detection was in 1992.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exoplanet
Since then, thousands have been found.
Thirty years ago we didn't know of any stars with planets. Now we know that a lot of stars have them. I said above that Proxima Centauri is no ordinary star, but actually it is a red dwarf, which is the most ordinary star there is. They are much more numerous than Sun-sized stars.
With this discovery, it's beginning to look like ALL stars have planets. That's a lot of planets.

'And what do you conclude from that?'
'If there are so many stars, it seems likely that some of them have planets, and, with so many planets, it seems liklely that some of them might have intelligent life on them. perhaps even now, one of those planets has two beings on it looking up at the night sky and wondering the same thing.'

Here's some fairly detailed info on chicken broth. I should thing the two would be comparable.

Also found this on another site: "Storage time shown is for best quality only. After that, the broth's texture, color and flavor may change but in most cases it will still be safe to consume if stored properly."

Window units are actually more efficient for A/C than a central unit or a heat pump. However, in the SE a heat pump is more efficient for overall heating and cooling.
One other advantage is that a window unit is cheaper to replace when it goes bad in one room than a whole house central air or heat pump.

I have found that what Trump said in reality rarely matches what people say Trump has said.
When someone says the exact same thing, 3 times in a televised interview, and it gets distorted by people putting their own words in Trump's mouth, you should actually listen to the man himself, to hear what he says.
Do not take an opinion for a fact. Go listen yourself.

Spoke with my mother up in WV. Those floods in June are still making life hell.
FEMA portables for the schools are held up - something bureaucratic and stupid. Housing for the displaced is still held up and slow in coming - lotta folks still crashing with neighbors, relatives, or camping in tents. RV dealership opened up some of its inventory for the displaced.
As everywhere, it was the churches and the locals who responded first, and stayed after the limelight faded.
Except, of course, there was no limelight in WV - guess it was too far from DC for Barry to make an appearance.

Boy scouts and girl scouts parking themselves in the lobby or outside of a grocery store is annoying. When I was in boy scouts we went door to door selling stuff, like Christmas wreaths, that people actually wanted. Holy crap, every house wanted one. Nobody said no.

They have relaxed that a bit. GS is there, the local food bank, The SA is there. I do give to the SA in the buckets, but also a check at Christmas. They help out year around and not just in emergencies.
Wife buys the GS cookies from friends, and then we give them to the food bank. Those things have just gotten nasty. I tell her to quit buying them, they only encourage poor quality food.

I keep hoping the Salvation Army will bring back their brass bands. Damn that was cool. Of course, back in the day, learning to play a brass instrument was job training. There were lots of musician jobs before the burlesque houses closed.
I got interested in the Salvation Army (can't say "SA" when a Dem is running for President) because James Lansdowne "Pa" Norton, founder of Norton motor cycles, was an enthusiastic supporter, and, by all accounts, an ace dude. That was lo-these-many years back, and I've never been embarrassed by them. Haven't actually joined up (yet, anyway) but yes I have rung a bell or two.

I don't know if he is throwing them under the bus or not. He's been all over the map on the deportation side of things since day one. He's swung from we'll deport them all, to the good ones get to stay, to they'll have to leave and reapply to come back.
Reality is that we aren't going to deport them all. It's not because we can't. It's because too many people in this country are squishes and will get weepy as the press runs sob story after sob story.
If a Trump presidency results in a secure border and actual interior enforcement, and then a negotiation over the status of those still here, I'll call that a win. There is hope because Trump does react to pressure on issues, unlike the blind lemmings of the GOPe.

According to the article linked to a few days ago Obama is deporting nobody since he assumed the throne. He tried floating the lie that he had "increased" deportation last year. But it was quickly shown that all he did was change what was called "deportation". He started counting all the illegals that were turned around at the border before they entered. IOW just another obama lie.

Salvation Army is the only charity that gets my money, a policy I inherited from Papa Eez .... seems that back when he was strolling down the road on some island in the Pacific, he came to a trailer where someone asked him "want a cup of coffee and a donut, soldier ?". Turns out the coffee was a nickel, and the donut was another nickel, neither of which he had, so he walked on. That was the Red Cross.
Farther on down the road, he comes to another trailer, "want a cup of coffee and a donut, soldier ?".
Free. That was the Salvation Army.
Let's just say that this incident left a deep impression on him.

Trump attracts blacks for a few of reasons. He has the gaudy design tastes that appeal to blacks. Plus, he's a celebrity who, if you look at the winners on the apprentice, hasn't shown any hint of racism. Also he is extremely self-confident and blunt.
If Trump runs a few adds with Hillary praising ole' pointy hat head from the Senate and her getting support from other racist groups, he can kill her in the black community.

She is losing blacks in most battleground States and without those votes she will not win there. Romney got 13% of the black vote in Florida and Trump is currently polling at 20% there. That would indicate to me that she is trying to get those votes "back".
