Overnight Open Thread (9-06-2016) [CBD]
You too can climb Everest in the comfort of your assless chaps and a good beer!
A government investigation concluded on Monday that photographs purporting to show the pair at the top of the world's highest mountain were faked. Officials say the ban is intended to deter other climbers from making spurious and dishonest claims. The pair's claims to have reached the peak in May were queried by climbers. They argued that photos showing Dinesh and Tarakeshwari Rathod at the summit were obviously doctored.
Scott Johnson over at Powerline is putting his money where his mouth is, and it's a lesson for me. It's easy to spout off about boycotting those institutions and people whose hectoring and dangerous politics are, supposedly, intolerable. It's something else altogether to actually act! But My opening farewell reconsidered is exactly that....
Another song or two into the set, after an incredibly hot performance of "I Can't Help You Now," Raitt plugged the senatorial reelection campaign of Paul Wellstone. Wellstone tragically died in an airplane crash within days of the election. At the time, however, I was pulling mightily for Norm Coleman to defeat Wellstone in the upcoming election and disappointed that I had shelled out hard-earned dollars for the privilege of being lectured by a political moron. I walked out of the show a half hour into Raitt's set and resolved never to return.

Here's what's wrong with science. E.O. Wilson needs to shut the fvck up and stick to ants. When scientists take political positions it should call into question the research they have done. Clearly Wilson is a partisan, so why should I assume that his life's work is without bias? The "Father Of Biodiversity" Fears Trump And Nuclear War More Than Climate Change It's a HuffPo link, so really....don't bother. And I can't excerpt, because HuffPo coded their page to prevent cutting and pasting. So definitely don't click the link. In fact, cast it from your thoughts....forever.
Auguste Toulmouche, Sweet Doing Nothing, 1877 This painting has nothing to do with the linked article, from Woodpile Report, but the young lass is particularly fetching, and the languid come-hither look is rather pleasing.....and is that a bit of cleavage I see?
If you doubt the University of Colorado is where the Age of Enlightenment goes to die, where enstupiding is revered and enforced, see this: "The point of departure for this course [Humanities 3990] is based on the scientific premise that human induced climate change is valid and occurring. We will not, at any time, debate the science of climate change, nor will the 'other side' of the climate change debate be taught or discussed in this course. Opening up a debate that 98% of climate scientists unequivocally agree to be a non-debate would detract from the central concerns of environment and health addressed in this course."
The Campus Left and the Alt-Right Are Natural Allies, which from an anti-freedom perspective makes perfect sense.
But what if instead of thinking of the campus left and the alt-right as mortal enemies, each bringing out perpetually heavier firepower in a long-running war of attrition, we thought of them as allies in a battle for the fate of liberalism? Because despite what they might say about each other, the radicalisms of 2016 actually align with one another more than they align with the Anglo-American Enlightenment tradition that has always occupied the American political center.This ONT brought to you by peanut butter-banana-bacon sandwiches....

Marie Antoinette apocryphally responded to a comment that the people did not have bread to eat by saying "then let them eat cake." This is meant to suggest that the French aristocracy was aloof an did not understand the people's hunger. In Venezuela, President Maduro has responded to the calls for help alleviating hunger by... banning people from lining up at bakeries in the slim hope of getting a morsel of bread.

Former Harvard biology professor E.O. Wilson is one of the most respected and revered conservationists alive today.

Last night I was reading Instapundit, and he had a link to an article about Burning Man. There were a couple of commenters who said they used to go, but haven't been there in years.
One said that in the first few years (it began in 1986) they had a Drive-By Shooting Range.
Another said that it just wasn't the same after they banned firearms and explosives in the early 2000s.
Sounds like Burning Man was a bit more Hunter S. Thompson-ish in the old days. I mean, you could make some pretty big booms way out there on the playa as long as you didn't do it too close to camp.

To be really used properly the OS must know about hyperthreading, and know the difference between logical and physical cores. If not, it can overload one physical core, and leave the other physical cores idle.
The idea to do that came about due to the fact that a certain thread of execution might stall waiting for data or something, and other independent instructions could be executed.
This what OS time sharing does in software, rapidly switching threads of execution. But this moved that to the processor itself, where the processor, knowing more its internal "pipelines" and all that, could make the decision of switching between threads of execution.
But again, the OS needs to know the difference between logical, hyperthread cores and real physical cores to properly make use of it.

Anthropology? Thoroughly Leftist since the days of Margaret Mead.
Psychology? Leftist, as Haidt has documented.
Sociology? Invented by Leftists as a tool.
But it's even creeping into the more quantifiable sciences. Ecology/Environmental Science? Thoroughly co-opted. Oceanography? Completely political. Climatology? Corrupted by billions in "climate change" money from Democrats in government and Soros shell foundations.
The biological sciences are under siege right now. There are whole topics they simply dare not study because it would provoke the ire of Leftists. Wilson himself was physically attacked back in the 1980s because his sociobiology theories contradicted the Holy Texts of Marxism.
So far the hardest of the hard sciences like geology, astronomy, physics, and chemistry are holding out.
Meanwhile Leftists continually push for more Diversity and Equality in the science students and faculties, which means skin color and vaginas (and, inevitably, political orthodoxy) are more important than intelligence and dedication.
And when they're not doing that they're dumbing down the curriculum in elementary and secondary schools because flunking students causes feelbadz and liberal Education majors don't really understand all that hard math stuff anyway. So fewer and fewer students arrive at college prepared to tackle rigorous science courses.
Meanwhile in the world beyond academia they fight any and all scientific innovations with fanatical frenzy: GMOs are EVIL! Fracking is EVIL! Nuclear power is EVIL! Chemicals are EVIL!
The crowning irony is that even as they smash and destroy science as an actual means of learning and understanding, Leftists wrap themselves in the white lab coat of Infallibility. You MUST do as they say because SCIENCE!

There's some film festival in Venice and some due showed up with two Italian hot model babes on each arm walking down the carpet. They were wearing dresses, if you could call them that, that had a little flap in front and two wide slits all the way up to belly button level.
Looked commando, but they were wearing something that put a narrow bit of cloth over the crotch.
I don't know why they just don't go full porn and just flash their cooters.
The black haired model looked like she would be very hirsute naturally. That was an industrial strength wax job all over, I believe.

Point 2. It is my opinion that "Alt-Right" is just a stupid term invented by the left and now used by the same "big business is always right" Republicans to paint anyone who cares about American sovereignty as a wild eyed bigot and uneducated buffoon. I have no idea who Team "Alt-Right" is but it must be better than the average Republican politician when it comes to principles and common sense. Probably that is why it is attractive, now if I can find out where the sign up sheet is for this team I shall put my name to it, but considering it does not exist, like Team Islamophobia, I guess I will have to wait.
Seriously - Lesson Number One in defeating the Progressives: Don't accept their speech codes or laws as legitimate, even if they sound that way, because they are not playing for mutual understanding but total victory. There is always another shoe to drop. So ban the Confederate flag as racist, leads to ripping down the American flag too. The goal was always the American flag, the Confederate flag was just a foot through the door. Same with Race Crime laws, etc. It is simply a means to an end, and unless you are willing to fight fire with fire, good luck on winning.

As far as I am concerned, the "alt-right" is mainly white people who are sick and tired of being punching bags. Political Correctness and speech codes are aimed explicitly at white people, particularly white men. Some of us are not putting up with it and are fighting back.
America was founded and built by white English-speaking people. If we become a minority, America as we've known it will cease to exist. That's simply a fact. Flood the nation with Third World people and we will become a Third World nation.
Anyone who equates this to "white supremacy" is a fucking retard.

The way to crush these arguments: which Third World country does your interlocutor consider to be the most successful? They will usually try to evade answering that question, for obvious reasons, but if pressed will plump for a country that was built and run by whites, and hasn't yet been completely destroyed, e.g., South Africa.
I used to compare Mexico with California. Swap the populations, and inside of two generations, Mexicans would be crossing the border to go south and mow lawns there.
We all know this is true. Polls have indicated that a majority of black Africans wish whites still ran Rhodesia. They didn't have a say, but the country ran well.

Let me fix that for you. Switched channels midway through the local news, to Fox news to see what was on. Blather O'Really, but at least he had a Trump interview underway.
Then, that commercial slithered onto the screen, and I recalled that previous ONT.
Otherwise? I've got the assless-chaps minimum number of channels from Comcast to even get a signal. A TV hound, I am not.
But, they're the only purveyor of high-speed 'net here on this Gulf of Mexico Sandbar, and so I've got the 10 y/o 42 in. HDTV flat screen fed from their signal.
That's not quite the description of a TV hound now, izzit?
And sadly, it's the limited number of channels that brings about the repetitive nature of such ads. Which then one begins to, on occasion, deconstruct or spontaneously realize the underlying theme behind the ad-man's efforts.
I'd happily live with no TV whatsoever, but the g/f unit would violently object, which exceeds the allowable "diminishing returns" threshold.
So, we have some TV here.
Living on the boat, I had a 13 in. glass tube teevee, rabbit ears, and got two channels. And was perfectly happy with that.

Posted by: Jim at Sep
It's worse than you imagined:
Allstate is refreshing its "You're in Good Hands with Allstate" motto of more than 60 years by rolling out a new campaign: "It's good to be IN Good Hands." The change is meant to modernize the 85-year-old brand for a new wave of younger-minded consumers and will be buttressed by a series of TV spots featuring celebrities including Tim Gunn, Adam DeVine and Leslie Jones, all of whom are popular with the millennial set.

It is, but I wasn't referring to that. Frankly, I think that that's fair enough; you got the bar up, presumably you can get it back down.
I'm talking about motherfuckers who, when doing squats or bench press, get under a bar, lower it about six inches, then push it back up (either with arms or legs), then crow about it.
Squat: thighs AT LEAST PARALLEL to the floor
Bench: bar ALL THE WAY DOWN to the chest.
Lowering the weight six inches, then giving a mighty grunt and locking it back out, is bullshit, IMO. Yet I see that all the time, by people who are obviously proud of how much they "lift."

"Anthropogenic climate change" people, after all, have the entire burden here. Their conjecture, er, highly implausible hypotheis, is just that, and needs to be tested like all other hypotheses in real science.
And the geologic record (which, apparently, is harder to "correct/adjust" than ground temperature records, ahemm), I believe, constitutes an insuperable obstacle all by itself to their hypothesis. This whole inter-glacial thing, well, it's a thing, and obviously man had nothing to do with it, and its forces obviously dwarf every "factor" being bandied about today into insignificance.
Of course AFAIK nothing - not predictive or backwards-run tests of their models, nor the geologic record, nor non-quantitative proxy "data" like recent human experience (10th Legion growing their own wine grapes in Anglia, the Medieval Warming Period, the Little Ice Age, etc.) - supports their hypothesis.

The alt-right is more diffuse, and diverse in its tactics and objectives, than the PC left. It encompasses sophisticated neo-reactionary Silicon Valley engineers like Curtis Yarvin, 1990s-style white nationalists like Jared Taylor, and legions of race-baiting online trolls with Pepe the frog as their Twitter avatars. But they are united by their contempt for pluralistic liberal democracy, their view that Western Civilization is in a profound and perhaps irreversible state of decline due to the empowerment of women and minorities, and their open embrace of white identity politics, and even white separatism, as the only solution.
This is fucking retarded. The "alt-right" is made up of non-evangelical non-GOPe millenial conservatives who are socially liberal enough to attempt rapprochement with non-SJW leftists in order to take down both parties. It's the libertarianism we always wished we had. The end.

Though I was a very ardent Cruz fan, I know how to read the leaves at the bottom of the teacup.

Takes two seconds to work around that. Just do "View Source Code" (Command-option-U on a Mac) to see the html underneath the page. There, the text is effortlessly copy-and-pastable because its raw text unaffected by the commands the Webmaster put in.
I use that command all the time, usually to get around paywalls -- you can go to a NY Times or Wall Street Journal or whatever article that is "off-limits" to you, and you will get a big notice blocking out the text, telling you to register to view it -- but just go "View Source" and you can simply read the article anyway. Simple. And, as mentioned, it also works for copying and pasting.
So, from the HuffPo article under discussions, I just copied this:
"Nukes aside, Wilson said climate change is the biggest environmental challenge facing the globe. Second to that is the loss of plant and animal species to extinction, which he said makes the globe less stable and is a “terrible, needless destruction of our most sanctioned heritage.”"

That's always been the only real value of Fox, besides Hume way back before he lost his senses, and Brett Baier, who is also many levels above his other network peers in terms of brainpower and professionalism.
Haven't seen TV "news" since probably 2007. But I know in the past Fox, for all its blemishes, was the only (occasional) source on TV that offered more than the increasingly extreme, grossly distorted crap churned out by the brain-dead Beltway usual suspects.

Posted by: rickl at September 07, 2016 12:54 AM (sdi6R)
I read that article too. It is a thoughtful article for sure. But the author appeals too much IMO to "lifeboat ethics", or that the ends justify the means. Certainly if you are on Flight 93, and your only other choice is certain death, then sure, you rush the cockpit against the hijackers towards a very uncertain future, which might be death, but might not be either. So if you really think that the 2016 election is like Flight 93, where your two choices are either: certain death (Hillary), or maybe death (Trump) then of course it makes sense to take the gamble and go for Trump.
But I don't think the author really made the case that the situation right now, at this moment, is *that* dire. Do people sincerely believe that the literal end of the Republic - not just some figurative weakening of it, but the literal, actual, end of the Republic, with secession, civil war, martial law, total suspension of the Constitution, etc., etc. - will be upon us if Hillary is elected? Because that is what I take to be the analogy of the "certain death" position put forth by the authors.
No doubt the trajectory of America is going in the wrong direction, but instead of seeing it like Flight 93 hurtling at 500 mph towards a very rapid end, I see it more like a gigantic boat slowly lumbering towards the rocky shore. Sure, the boat had better turn around before it hits the rocks, otherwise the boat will sink. But we have some time left to right the course of the ship. Not a large amount of time, no, and the longer we wait, the more drastic measures *will* become necessary. But, if in our desperation, we decide to turn the captaincy of the boat over to a guy like, say, oh I don't know, Joseph Hazelwood (of Exxon Valdez infamy) - we will be making our problems worse, not better, in the long run.
So yes if you accept the author's premise that the very fate of the Republic hinges on the outcome of this election, then his argument makes a great deal of sense. But I question that premise.

It shouldn't come as much of a surprise that I do actually seek approval from others for self-validation, and I probably do that to too unhealthy of a degree, and so it's been hard to adjust to all of the haters. And yes at times I have been a dick and deserved some measure of the hate. But like you I am getting over it.

not just some figurative weakening of it, but the literal, actual, end
of the Republic, with secession, civil war, martial law, total
suspension of the Constitution, etc., etc. - will be upon us if Hillary
is elected? Because that is what I take to be the analogy of the
"certain death" position put forth by the authors.
Posted by: chemjeff at September 07, 2016 01:21 AM (uAvJJ)
If Hillary wins, the literal end is not far off. Not figurative. We get one more Kagan or Sotomayor on the Supreme Court, and the law is meaningless except as a means to punish enemies of the regime and promote The Agenda.
Also, there will be a very fast "pathway to citizenship" created for illegal immigrants and "refugees", and just as with California after the 1986 Amnesty, several on-the-brink states with high immigration, and even safe Red states such as Texas, will flip solid blue and there will never be a Republican President or congressional majority ever again.

You're right about that. I'm not even talking about the economics, I'm talking about the political realities of it. The global economic system has already hit itself with circle-running torpedoes, its ass is up in the air, and the bridge is still ordering changes in speed to try to fix the problem.
It's going down no matter what happens, at this point. As I've always said, what can't go on forever doesn't. It's about to stop going on in a very spectacular way, and it's a question of when and not if.

If Hillary wins, the literal end is not far off.
Not figurative. We get one more Kagan or Sotomayor on the Supreme
Court, and the law is meaningless except as a means to punish enemies of
the regime and promote The Agenda.
One could argue that this is the situation that we already have, with the Constitution meaning only what five judges in robes decide it to mean. So putting another Kagan or Sotomayor on the court, while undoubtedly bad, wouldn't represent some sudden paradigm shift away from some supposed state of constitutional literalism that we have today. To really fix this problem, I think, would take more than just appointing another conservative judge. Heavens knows that they are not in the main immune from bending the constitution to serve their will (Roberts anyone?). I think it would take something more fundamental, perhaps term limits for SCOTUS judges such as has been proposed earlier, perhaps some check on SCOTUS' power that doesn't make them the absolute final authority on these matters, letting Congress or the States overrule their decisions in some way.
Also, there will be a
very fast "pathway to citizenship" created for illegal immigrants and
"refugees", and just as with California after the 1986 Amnesty, several
on-the-brink states with high immigration, and even safe Red states such
as Texas, will flip solid blue and there will never be a Republican

Well I could say a lot more on this, but I'm tired to be honest. But in brief: even if we had some sort of full amnesty, the parties would readjust and realign to better serve their respective coalitions and factions. Keep in mind the Republican and Democratic parties of today look a lot different than they did of even 50 years ago.
Furthermore: if we import a Mexican immigrant, and that immigrant votes for socialism because that immigrant has always favored socialism from the home country, then that is our fault for letting that immigrant in, for permitting that immigrant to be allowed to vote for socialism here. HOWEVER, if that immigrant's children, and their children's children, *continue* to vote for socialism, even though they are born and raised here, then it's no longer a problem associated with immigration, it is a problem associated with assimilation to what we might consider core foundational beliefs of what it means to be an American. That is an entirely different question. Why, even after the mass amnesty in 1986, did California turn from red to blue, but Texas turned from blue to red? I think it's because Texas overall does a better job at inculcating American values into its immigrant population, while California tries to go all multi-culti. Having a border wall won't change that dynamic.

you mean like writing new laws, or even, perhaps, Constitutional Amendments?
all that requires is a populace that demands such changes, elects such representatives, and enforces their will on them to make said changes...

You seem to be assuming that there's still going to be a long game.
I see nothing to suggest that there will be. The people we're against are totalitarians, and they have almost finished assembling everything they need to have absolute power.
Once they get it, even for an instant, the long game goes away. Anything that presents any further threat to their rule will be abolished, made illegal, or sent to the camps.

Someone tell me if I'm wrong, because as far as I can see it, throughout the entire span of human history, whenever grasping totalitarians get a hold of absolute political power, they seek to solidify their rule and make it permanent.

You're welcome. It's been a progression from peanut butter (I now relegate peanuts to the same not-for-human-consumption category as soybeans) to almond butter to sunflower seed butter. Almond is good, but tasty almonds are expensive.
Sunflower is delicious, but you have to get the kind that are not stale, oil-spoiled, shelled-too-long. Gray and greasy tasting. The worst are often organic etc health food store sunflower nuts, possibly because the turnover is slow. Best is the Wal-Mart bags that seem to be fresh all the time.
