Monday Overnight Open Thread (9/5/16) [Mis. Hum.]
It was 4:30 in the morning on Sept. 5, 1972, that 9 Israeli athletes were taken hostage after 2 of their fellow country men had been killed by Black September,a Palestinian terrorist organization. The 9 athletes and a West German policeman were later killed by the group.
A quick history lesson.
On 3 August 2016, two days prior to the start of the 2016 Summer Olympics, the International Olympic Committee officially honored the eleven Israelis killed for the first time. About damn time!
Labor Day Monday is winding down. Have you ever given thought as how Labor Day evolved? The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City.
Are you thinking about work today? Are you dreading about going to work tomorrow? Do you have fears about your job? Meet a woman with an unusual job and unusual fears. Batteries can be found everywhere. Some of you work 4 day work weeks. Are they a bad thing? The people that I know and have met which work them, love them. However there is a professor from OSU who says 4 day work weeks are bad for your health.
Can something you make which produces happiness to you and others, is that a job? Advice for working with others. However, if you work for TSA you only have one job to do. How the 5 day work week came about.
On September 25, 1926, the Ford Motor Company instituted a five-day, 40-hour work week for its factory employees. While Ford wasn’t the first to do this, they were arguably one of the most influential.
Labor Day for 94 million unemployed Americans. The working ones aren't doing that much better.
Thursday night is the NFL Opener. We have a pretty good idea how that game is scheduled. But do you know how the other 255 games are scheduled?
They are also constrained by internal factors. A formula determines each team’s opponents every year, and a rotating schedule ensures that every team plays each of the other 31 at least once in a four-year period. It takes 136 computers in a secure room to spit out every possible schedule — a process that sets the stage for the schedule-makers to begin the arduous task of picking the best possible one.
The reset buttond didn't work. And the glow of golfing on vacation has worn off. Someone has to act presidential.
Obligatory slam at President 4Putt.
This guy knows who he works for. And it isn't Obama. Someone ought to tell TFG to pull up his big boy pants and act like a man rather than the petulant child that he is. Want to become more of a people person?

I worked today, after two days of abject laziness. I cut the grass and cleaned up leaves in the yard. (I have one tree that starts shedding in July.)
And in honor of General Strike Kitteh, I cleaned the litter boxes. From day to day I just scoop them and top them off with fresh litter as needed, but every now and then I dump the old litter, scrub out the boxes, and refill them with new litter.

My supervisors would swear they weren't telling anybody what happened, yet at the same time they made it mindbendingly obvious what was going on and that I was the bad guy. They also knew there were absolutely no repercussions for telling people what my situation was, because I had no power and no one would take my complaints about how I was being treated seriously.

I leave work at 11pm. By that time, the last thing i feel like doing is going to the gym. If i do i usually get home about 1:30, then stay up a bit before bed and get up around 10.
Is it generally better to exercise in the morning, or can one work out that late and still get decent sleep? I can't make up my mind, then end up doing neither.

What got them was a box of opened cream cookies of some sort she'd had gotten. That got them started. They invaded an unopened loaf of bread, and ruined another box of crackers, but they hadn't gotten in anything else, all they were all over it.
I managed not to get bitten/stung once. Got the crap outside, then sprayed some ant killer. Then, we had to get them off the boxes.
Ants have a defense relflex where they all clump together (it protects them from drowning when a heavy rain floats them. Damn suckers did that, and I had clumps of fire ants dropping off everywhere.
Did I mention I hate fire ants?

Here in Canada, oil rig crews work 12-hour days, for 7 days, do a "short-change" shift, and then 12-hours nights for another week. Then get a week off. First 40 hours per week is at regular rate, the second 48 is time-and-a-half. So they make plenty of money.
When I am out there, nominally, I'm on call 24 hours a day, but I can usually keep current by working 12 of them.

It's basically a matter, according to him, of finding a person's buttons and pushing them.
Depriving people of human contact is a good one. He says that the human mind alone, will always goes off the rails. You need feedback from the group on what's not crazy. Leave a person alone for extended periods and the mind wanders. Off into crazy town.
Now, you just optimize that journey into crazy town.
He described various ways, and I can't remember them. But one was this. You're leaving someone isolated. Then you go in and be their friend, their best pal. They're so glad to talk to someone.
Then, in the middle of that, you pull out a pistol and snap it at their head. This is part of the way to induce paranoia.

Some of them also get into it because they want to learn how to manipulate people. (It sounds like this asshole falls into that category.)
I read many years ago that shrinks and psychologists are the medical people most likely to sexually abuse their patients. Not a surprise really when you consider they are dealing with screwed up and vulnerable people.
Interestingly enough, OB/GYNs were the least likely to have affairs with sexually abuse patients. I guess it would be pretty awkward to say to someone you've just had up in the stirrups "BTW, what are you doing this evening? Wanna go out for a few drinks?"

feel free to steal it from me as a campfire borrow story.
She did use to dig holes in the front yard about a foot deep and 8 inches wide hoping I would fall in and kill myself instead my dog fell in dislocating and breaking her back legs and hips when she fell in.
Also after a storm a tree branch fell on our fence, she asked me to go get it off when I got home. She purposely failed to tell me that the branch knocked the powerlines down in the yard. I came two inches from stepping on one. When I got back inside, she made sure to say that the branch had k idled down the powerlines.

Yeah, guys who think being an OB/GYN is a dream job forget you're not looking at supermodels all day long. They are dealing with women of all shapes, sizes and ages and many of them are there because something is wrong with the plumbing.
Most of the male OBs I know, I like very much. They're solid family men. The one I know best is the father of 8, active in the pro-life movement and just a super nice guy.

It's real thing, I'm convinced. Blind obedience to "authority", and this shows the dark side of that. They've found that it's the lower classes who are less likely to do it. Nice middle class people, who want to go along with the group and do what they're told and all that are usually the ones most likely to do it.
The trouble now is the Milgram experiment is so well known that it's very difficult to find people who aren't aware of it, and who won't deduce they are the lab rats.

And others would go along. That's the thing I dislike about Shirer's generally excellent tome "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" - his thesis was that the Germans were somehow uniquely morally flawed, due to a history of authoritarianism and the music of Wagner.

This.
What happened in Germany could happen ... anywhere. In the USA, in the UK, anywhere, despite what residents of those countries think.
Germans were, as they saw it, faced with two choices: Nazism, or Communism. The Communists had already tried to seize power in 1919, and were bidding fair to succeed in early 1930s. They successfully physically intimidated all opposition parties, until the Nazis established the SA, after which the Nazis alone had street cred as the only party who could stand up to the Reds, and fight them toe to toe in the street.
Now, if you're a German in 1932 looking to the East, and not liking what you're seeing - and who would? - what choice do you have? A possibly bad choice, versus a certainly bad choice.
At the time, the full horror of the Third Reich was probably inconceivable. Just as now, the full horror of the alternative is inconceivable.

Rough-necking is very physical work, and it would kill me to do even one shift of it. I'm a wellsite geologist, so my work day consists of washing cuttings samples, peering at them through a microscope, and plotting my observations on a graphic log in a computer. Usually 2-3 days of scrambling to keep up in fast hole in the shallow portion of the well, then it slows down. When we go into the horizontal leg, I have a second man join me to work nights, so then we work straight 12's. But it's not physically taxing. I'm awaiting a new well right now, and, for various reasons, there will be two of us on right from the get-go.

The oilpatch is one of the few places left where a young man (or woman) can come out of high school and move into a job that earns some serious coin. Last I heard, starting rate for a roughneck here in Canada was $22/hour. No union dues, either. Now it may have dropped due to the oil price crash, and work is scarce. Last week the rig utilization rate in Western Canada was 22%. Meaning of the entire fleet of rigs, 22% had work.
It can be a tough life, but it certainly is lucrative. And usually there is a slow season, when one can take a few weeks off. If you put a little money away every pay check, you can soon build a nice nest egg, and still live well on the part you spend. Don't buy all the toys right away.

I'm not a big Ford fan, but not a Ford hater, either. I thought the 351 Cleveland was the engine of choice for the muscle-car guys, possibly better oiling system and better breathing. Windsors were the engine found in the bread-and-butter cars. And then there was the 351M (for Modified) which had some features of both, IIRC. Not that the Windsor could not be made into a high-performance engine, but most of them were not shipped as such.
I have a Ford Motorsport performance book around here that goes into considerable detail on all the engines of that era, but I'd have to search for it. I could do so if you wanted me to.

Some people have reported "hearing" radio programs via the fillings in their teeth. This isn't as crazy as it sounds. All you need to detect the modulation on an AM broadcast is a non-linear conductor, like a diode. A piece of metal (the amalgam filling) in an electrolyte (saliva) becomes a crude rectifier.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 06, 2016 12:41 AM (oqkO3)
The research began in WWII when soldiers could hear the clicking sounds of radio transmissions in their heads.
Think anything that can or is magnitized. Or Ionized.
Non lethal technology has come a long way. Much info is available for free in white papers in pdf form if one wished to investigate. The patents are also available.

Yep. In a strong RF field, any semi-conductor becomes a detector. A bolt in a rusty nut will do it. The old-time crystal radios used a chunk of galena, set in a little lead puck, as the detector. I played with them as a kid, built them. Other sulfide minerals, and sulfosalts like pyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, and the various "ruby silvers" also make fine detectors. So did a Gillette "blue" razor blade.

Heh. When I was a kid, you could buy crystals at the local hardware store. I have a couple of crystal radios, but here's nothing on AM worth listening to. As a kid, I would listen late into the night.
Some folks have worked up pretty cool crystal sets, including some which use rectified off-air signals to produce power supplies which can in turn be used to drive rf and/or audio amplifiers.
For some while I have meaning to put together a set (or sets) for various SW frequencies.

Cooling issues, mostly. In both the oil and water circulation capacities.
Gets down into the weeds, in terms of casting wall thicknesses, oil and water passage areas, casting roughness, etc.
The differences were enough that the parts lists are different between the two, even though they were both said to derive from the same design specs.
Contrary to myth though, a Windsor can be made into a kick ass giant of a motor. Just costs more in the execution.

Yeah, I remember reading about "free power" radios. You had two crystal sets in one box, with the second set tuned to the strongest local station, with a diode bridge feeding rectified RF into a filter network to power a germanium transistor amplifier on the #1 set. Some builders claimed to be able to get enough power to drive a speaker.
The real bugbear with crystal radios, and I include the germanium-diode "rocket radios", is their almost-complete lack of selectivity. The term "tuning coil" is almost an oxymoron.

Yep.
"You don't get a 3 day weekend, do ya?"
Had nothing going last Friday. That's when I did the lawn and the windows and the deck, why?
It's gonna take me 4 hours for my regular gig, why not add on 3 extras if they are near where I have to drive anyway?
I'd rather PLAN to work 10-16 hours per day, EFFICIENTLY, M-TH, than dick around, driving back and forth to "spread out my projects".
I either get Friday's off OR I have room to maneuver.
It's kind of like and related to... Ace's fasting diet.
I don't DO breakfast, not when I've got a full day of working ahead of me.
Makes me hungry 3-4 hours later (for NO REASON other than I et BREAKFAST!), when I am in the middle of something!
Can't do "lunch" in the middle of a day, makes me sleepy. Keep GOING!
THIS is why a 4 day work week is AWESOME!!
Friday - ZZZZzzzz (maybe) Dream of lovely snacks and things to cook! Make a Totino's Pizza or a lot of salads. Snack on some olives. Tater Tot's w/ Kikoman's "Wasabi Sauce are the BOMB yo!

My wife is a retired teacher. She and others would prefer it the way it was.

A lesson to be learned: you may think you can leave your resources buried, as an offering to Gaia. But coal, oil, elements, crops, farm soil -- these are the things wars are fought over, and given a chance, someone, in this case the Big Someone, will go in there and get them. And you will toil for them to do so.

Unions have been spouting that lie for decades. And Ford wasn't the first one to do a 40 hour work week. And the 40 hour labor law was pushed through by FDR as a stupid scheme to increase employment by forcing companies to hire more workers to avoid overtime. Instead they fired more workers to make up for paying the new "overtime" costs.

teacher's days off during the year.
Arlington, VA public schools (at least elementary schools) have a half day *every Wednesday* for an after noon of teacher work time --- this is so they spread their "teacher work days" throughout the year instead of tacking them on to the beginning or end of the school year. It was such a b#tch having to leave work early every Wednesday to accommodate this back when we were living there.

My wife went to an event at the high school she graduated from. Her class had donated a bench in memory of the classmates that had passed.
Afterwards, the superintendent who was at the event, took them on a tour of the school. Wife said he looked like he was 16 years old. After the tour he invited them to a cafeteria lunch, but they declined as they were meeting others nearby.
The super then went and got a tray, got his food, and sat at one of the tables with some students. Wife was told he does this almost everyday and sits at a different table and talks to the kids.

Epic melt down last night on the Shafly RIP Thread

Who melted down?

Oh, dear! Did the ban-hammer come out?

I don't think so but CBD did lay down the law.

Speaking of Hills, that 8 billion dollars that went missing from the State Dept., that due to her concussion too? Come on Hill, where is the money?

State stores do close (being state employees and getting those Federal holidays off). Not sure about private ones, like here in NYC.

These things are huge and they're nasty. They don't circle around before they land and then grope along your skin for the right place. They zero in and stab you.

He does use bottled water though. So he's not a total cheapskate.

Unfortunately he took the passing mention of Schlafly's support for Trump to exercise his NeverTrump monomania in an effort to detract from her memory. It did not go well, and a cob ultimately stepped in to tell him to knock it off. It was not fun.

Posted by: Bruce at September 06, 2016 07:39 AM (8ikIW)** Probably that stuff Culligan gets out of its water softeners. At least he's not tapping the local creek.And he seemed like such a nice guy...

Yep. Got stung by a bee on Sunday. It's itching like crazy. Out of calamine lotion and benadryl makes me sleepy.

I posted a link several months ago. They know what happened to Hoffa now. He was cremated and the ashes scattered. They say they are confident that is what happened to it.

I would pay good money to see that during the debates.

No plantains in the Rocky Mountains. May cut some aloe.
