Monday Night Overnight Open Thread (9/19/16) [Mis. Hum.]
Good Monday evening. In days of yesteryear Monday nights this time of year were a big thing. Monday Night Football was on a major network. Hell, there was even a song about it.
Now Monday Night Football is on Cable's PC Network ABC/ESPN and is a joke.
Perhpas the NFL will expand. I could see Kaepernick playing for the Cameroon Chuckle-Heads.
But not all football teams and player are jerks. Sometimes football players are unselfish.
On September 20, 2001 President George W. Bush declared to a joint session of Congress and the American public that the USA had declared a "war on terror". We are still fighting the war on terror. But, we have elected and appointed officials who won't call a spade a spade.
St. Cloud, MN is a city of about 61,000 souls located in central MN. It is the home of St.Cloud State. Your typical peaceful Mid-Western City.
Shoppers at a local mall were approached by a man. When asked if they were Muslim and answered no they were stabbed. Yes the phrase Allahu Akbar was mentioned. I would say that is terrorism. Not necessarily if you are highly paid and skilled Police Chief.
Terrorism is in the eye of the beholder. After a mass-stabbing in a Minnesota mall, the local police chief made a statement to the effect of, "But we still don't know if this is terrorism."
Yes, a young Somali man who stabs people and chants Allahu Akbar is a crazed St. Cloud State Huskie fan and not a radical disciple of ISIS.
Once upon a time, manners were something. Maybe they should make a return? What say you Horde?
While we are at it the special snowflake generation needs a wake up call or 3.
I'm, like, a dumbass. I, like, can't function."
Don't care for math? Come on over here. There usually isn't much math.
The parents of these
Lawmakers in AZ foul up.
But government foul ups are not limited to states. Cities can be just as stupid. Fouled up laws. Stupid government leaders. Where does this leave the private charitable foundations involved with governments? Why it leaves a certain former President and his slippery wife and current presidential nominee with millions. Bubba expects us to believe the unbelievable. Best laid plans of engineers and men. Sometimes don't work out either. Have you ever wondered what kind of tests naval ships go through? One of them is to survive shock waves. Money cures a lot of things including the collective psyche of Oregon. Maybe governments should leave the advertising to the professionals? Don't care to be in prison? Man is born with free will/choice. Obviously some just can't make the proper decision.
Out of the ordinary economies throughout the world. Van Goh, mental illness, alcoholic or both? We will probably never know what truly afflicted him.
RIP C. Martin Croker. Picking up litter along the side of a highway isn't the most fun thing to do. Might as well enjoy yourself and have a little fun while you are at it.

,
Manners have always been a nice veneer over our true selves, the slick and shiny surface that lubricates our social interactions. In the past, that surface veneer was either deeper or slicker, because it extended to interactions where people disagreed with each other.
Now I'd settle for universal common courtesy. Recognise a stranger walking the other way by nodding or smiling, or almost any action other than refusing to make eye contact and acknowledge the existence of another person. I get that in NYC or another megalopolis the goal is to keep the eyes on the prize, which is where you're going, but in suburbia on a walking path it's unacceptable. And becoming common.
I'd like to remind people why we have manners, what conditions brought on the necessity of them, and what happens long terms without them, but true to form the folks that would need that reminder wouldn't listen.
No matter. We'll find out shortly regardless

Sadly, the idea didn't even stir much conversation or interest, and I think it'd take about twenty "I'm ins", to get ten or a dozen actual participants.
I know the idea works, from various gun-centric blogs n' forums. Likely just a bit too single-purpose focused here, though?
But again, thanks for asking. Maybe it'll come up at a better time for folks?

He is such a dipshit, he might actually hem and haw before saying "no", because he might think it's a trap to alienate Muslims.

I'm starting to understand why people would do that.
The Western governments have demonstrated beyond a doubt that they will not protect their citizens from islamic terrorism. They will ignore it, protect islam from criticism, and say we can "absorb" unlimited non-moslem dead. (But every moslem death is an affront, of course.)
So what do you do? You remove yourself from the list of targets by converting to islam.
Sure, you could still be killed by bombs and such. But at least when you leave your house you will not be deliberately targeted by a group of maniacs. They will leave you alone.
It starts to make sense.

My guess is that she won't go bottoms up so much as she will provide a very unpleasant ride for her crew in hard weather.
Poor seakeeping qualities have a multitude of indirect consequences. Tired and injured sailors, sickbay calls, missed watches, bad morale, low re-enlistment.
Those are just the human factors. Add in also damage to topside systems, and structural fatigue to the hull as a whole.
Nota bene: with reference to topside damage, one of the British ships that was badly hit during the Falklands war saw the incoming threat on radar and attempted to pre-emptively engage with Sea Dart. No dice. A tiny microswitch on the launcher had been damaged by heavy seas over the foredeck.

Idk if Van Gogh is good art. Is it? I like a lot of his stuff but
objectively I'm not sure it's beautiful. It's interesting at the very
least I think
Look at the painting "Impression, Sunrise" by Monet. It's a passing impression of a scene that is hopefully passed to the viewer from an artist in a painting. They were also fighting the old traditions of the church.

Let Mrs. Kathy Jackson, one of the Nation's top instructors and competitors, teach you the right way to shoot.
Read every word of her chapters on grip, stance, breathing, sights and other technique, and practice EXACTLY like she shows in her excellent photos and illustrations.
You'll outshoot most of the guys in no time at all.
And yes, I expect any of the guys I teach to read her stuff, too. Simply the best instructional out there.

A point here, about that incident. The guy that shot the berserker was an off duty cop, who was carrying.
Now, law varies state-to-state, but in NC LEO's are not granted any authority to carry off of the job, and certainly not concealed carry. Everyone, including cops, must go through the training and background checks to obtain a permit to do so.
So, in NC at least, this fellow would in essence have been an ordinary (albeit with LEO training) concealed-carry civilian. My point being that he didn't stop the guy because he is a cop, he stopped him because he is an armed citizen.

You may be getting too picky about this. I get that a wig that is convincing as real is ideal, but, we're talking *costumes* here! It doesn't have to look real, just good enough to do a Velma impression. In the finished get up, even an obvious costume wig, done Velma style, will go gangbusters, particularly if the rest of it is spot on. If your hair is too long for a Velma-do, it will let the rest of your effort down. Don't underestimate even a cheapo costume wig that looks the part, in putting together a first rate impression. No one is gonna say .... "Great Velma costume! Too bad you're wearing a wig!".
It's a costume!

Just to be clear, there is no requirement that a terrorist has a political goal. I don't know who tried to stuff that "political goal" shit in, but it's total bullshit.
Terrorism is a tactic that has goals (primary or ancillary) of inciting terror in the population, or some part thereof, in addition to harming those who were directly involved in the attack.
It is a standard tactic of war. But what usually happens - with sane societies that have the ability to defend themselves - is that once they start absorbing terrorist attacks they respond in kind, and then some, and make those societies that started the attacks wish that they had never existed, to begin with.

But! - I do have my Va concealed application about 10 ft from where I sit. And there is a ginormous gun shop/range less than 3 miles from the house. Very respected place from what I'm told.

And we wouldn't have to worry about scoring the targets; that's not the point anyway.
If we can collect up the target pictures, write a little copy, and have the whole post in the can, surely one of the COBs could sneak it in...maybe slip it in as an item on the ONT

You're very welcome. I love the goofiness of lilacs, the way they trip over their feet to whomp out huge billowy bucketloads of scent -- and I loved the unexpected wildness of Van Gogh's painting. Alas, I've planted them at several houses in California, but they never do that well here.

that's funny. but did you know that the infamous case of the elderly woman who sued macdonalds because she spilled hot coffee on herself was actually justified?
i've seen pictures of the burns and they were horrific (you can look them up) . the coffee was prepared and kept at some ridiculous temperature, well beyond what was necessary or advisable. the company had received many complaints from injured customers and done nothing. in addition to a monetary award, the company was forced to reduce the temperature of its coffee to a reasonable level.
while the case became the symbol of an overly litigious society, it was, in fact, justified. look up the photos - there were serious burns.
verdict: justified.

Plus, it's fun, and it's self-improvement.
Self defense becomes a benefit with even modest proficiency.
My advise for starters? Don't buy a gun till you've shot about everything they've got for a rental gun, and some "loaners" from other shooters at the range, too.
You'll find other shooters are very generous on letting you test drive a different gun.
It's never too late to catch up to the curve!

Justified, my ass. She opened the cup of coffee IN HER LAP in a moving car. What was she, 85 years old or something. How did she get to be that old when it was clear that she was dumb as a doorknob?
It was her fault, plain and simple. I don't care how hot the coffee was. You don't open the lids of coffee cups in a moving car - or if you do, you don't be a total piece of shit and try to blame anyone else if you spill it all over yourself.
it was friggin hot coffee. It was supposed to be hot. Hot enough to burn. Hot enough that anyone with an ounce of brains (especially some 85 year old ditz) would know to wait until she was sitting at a table to open it.
You need to re-examine the case and think about it. She was 1000% wrong and the verdict and settlement were affronts to society. Seriously.

Long story short. More than half of perpetrators stop immediately when shot one time.
Some fly backwards, Hollywood-style, even though there's no physical reason to do so. Some take to running and some put their hands up.
Of the percentage of those shot who didn't stop, only a CNS direct hit, or a lack of blood pressure would halt the attack.
I think this cop in MN showed remarkable restraint in shooting the stabber and waiting to see the reaction. It's unfortunate that so many seemingly train to shoot until a perp "catches fire or changes shape".

Confession time, Jim:
I'm almost 50. Have never stepped foot on a firing range. Haven't
fired a handgun in 30 years - since I was a kid out on a farm with
drinking buddies.
But! - I do have my Va concealed application about 10 ft from where I
sit. And there is a ginormous gun shop/range less than 3 miles from the
house. Very respected place from what I'm told.
Their classes are pricier than they should be, but range time/rental (including ammo) seems very reasonable to me.
I'll be there for a session by Thanksgiving if plans go accordingly.

I finally "pulled the trigger" about a year ago -- inspired by the famous Heinlein quote: "A human being should be able to change a diaper,
plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a
sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying,
take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze
a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal,
fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."
Besides which, among the special snowflakes of the Bay Area, I figured it might probably be a good idea if I knew which end went bang.
I took a basic safety class and one of the guys in it and I were "Monday night at the range" buddies until he moved back to NYC the end of June. We were reasonably safe after the first class....we got reasonably good over time.

Good coffee certainly should be. You can let coffee cool to your tastes but you can't get it to be any hotter than when it comes out.
Thanks to that ditz and others I can't get decently hot coffee, anymore. All because some imbecile opened a cup of coffee in a moving car - an 85 year old (or however old she was).
Tell me, what do you think of 80 year olds opening coffee cups in moving cars? Do you think that's reasonable? So you think it's reasonable to expect you might spill a whole cup all over yourself every so often if you do that?
But ... thanks. I get shit coffee because some old bitty acts like a fool and a bunch of lawyers egg her on to collect from the deepest pockets around. Thanks a lot.

I don't mind the "unsafe" bit so much. If a willing buyer and a willing seller want to participate in a transaction involving the exchange of "unsafe" goods, then that's fine with me anyway. It is the lack of adequate warning that is concerning. If both buyer and seller understand the risk, then that is one thing. If they don't, then that is something completely different.

@ Teh Horde. That 20+ yr. old McD's coffee burn jury award is hard to see through today's eyes. All of our cars now have cup holders. Few cars then, did.
I'd say the jury made the right call, but at a ridiculous dollar amount. Were that exact same case litigated today, I'd be more "sux it, airhead", because, cupholders, duh!
Anyone over 50 remembers the days of yore, when we all drove with all kinds of hot or cold drinks tucked wherever we could find to wedge 'em in as we drove on down the road.
That was one of the manly cracks on mini-vans when they first hit the scene. "Cupholders!" lol, etc.
Now, I think even skateboards have 'em as an option.

But it wasn't a cupholder issue. The cup didn't spontaneously open. She put it in between her legs and then opened it. Takeout cups are not the strongest around and pretty much everyone knows that putting a takeout cup in between your legs and taking the lid off just ain't the brightest trick in the book. The cup loses a lot of its strength with the lid off. I'm sure we've all encountered that on many occasions, and someone who got to be 79 (my mistake earlier on her age) should have known that. I also wonder if this was the first time she was ever at that McDonalds to get coffee. There seems to be no mention of that in the case synopses I've seen.
In any event, she made a very foolish action and was totally responsible for the consequences. They also said that it was her clothing, particularly, that made it so bad - her sweatpants or whatever.
She should have kept the coffee closed until she got out of the car. Period. 79 years old. I bet she was no athlete. I wonder how shaky her hands (and legs) were, normally.
This case was a total travesty and a mockery.

I don't recall the amount of the McD's coffee judgment, but adjusted backwards in time for inflation, I'd imagine was worth more in real money then, than you might appreciate.
Run the same time and rate adjustment back from Gretchen's $20 mil (which I agree was insane), and the gap would narrow considerably, I'm sure.

The women was severely injured, but she chose to hold the coffee cup between her legs and open it there to add cream which was a very stupid decision on her part. The jury ruled it was 80% McD's fault and only 20% hers. At the very least those numbers should have been reversed.
The initial judgement was obscene. The punitive damages awarded by the jury were $2.7m, 13.5 times the compensatory damages which is downright insane. The judge reduced it to treble damages and it still ended up being far more than the pre-trial settlement offers. The initial settlement offer by the woman's attorney was $20k, but after being refused they then demanded $90k and then $300k before trial. She ended up being awarded $160k + $480K in punitive damages.
The lawsuit was fueled by greed and was accommodated by a very stupid jury.

Well I kinda see TPOP's point here. If you are going to hold to an
absolute "caveat emptor" position, then the customer basically assumes
all responsibility for what happens to the merchandise after receiving
delivery. And I generally agree with the "caveat emptor" position for
most commercial exchanges. I guess where the seller ought to assume some
responsibility is delivering the merchandise according to the
mutually-agreed upon specifications. Did the 85-year-old woman, when
ordering coffee, actually think that she was going to get scalding-hot
coffee with that risk of serious burns should she spill it? I think the
answer to that question is probably no.
Posted by: chemjeff at September 19, 2016 11:44 PM (uAvJJ)
I think TPOP is right -- it is reasonable to expect someone accepting a cup of "hot beverage" to assess the heat of such beverage before applying it to her groin -- and, furthermore, to use due care in withholding it from her groin before such an assessment is complete.
For a contrary case, does anyone remember the little insulated cups that had attached fold-out cardboard handles? If someone said, "I lifted the cup by the fold-out cardboard handles, but the liquid inside was so hot that it melted the glue and the cup fell into my lap" -- I'd throw the book at the coffee supplier.
The difference is due care. It seems like a lot of people are arguing that the amount of burning is what makes McDonald's guilty....but anyone handed a mug of "hot liquid" should treat it as "just shy of boiling" until proven otherwise. And McDonald's probably had a lot of people complain about their "cold coffee" when they ordered a breakfast with coffee, drove down the highway eating breakfast, and found their beverage tepid when they got around to tasting it.

She won't start the process of cancelling this account unless I verify my SSN.And she wants me to give it to her. I politely told her where to put a sideways pineapple, and hung up.
After a little internetting, I find that it was a legit number, so I call Citi.

I should have realized it before -- I had a situation where I drove to Los Angeles to go to Disneyland because I was a cheap bastard....but somehow a guy got hold of my credit card number during my travels because he FLEW round-trip from the Bay Area to Burbank, did four people to Arroyo Seco Racetrack box seats, and paid the electric bill for a home in Emeryville.
And I'm like -- we got his mom's/girlfriend's address in Emeryville, let's go! But the local PD was, "your cc company reversed the charges, so you have not suffered a loss. You have no rights to follow-up."
In a better world, a posse would have torched the Emeryville address with everyone inside, and nothing like this would happen. Instead, right-thinking people just get screwed over-and-over-and-over-and-over.

No. You're both reacting with 2016 sensibilities, here. Back in '92, "cup holders" were only just then breaking into the scope of automobile design and manufacture.
And hell, who here knows that she was driving a '92, anyway? Most the grannies are driving geezermobiles that they've owned for years. Figure ten year old car, an '82, and I don't think the factory designed and built in cupholder then yet existed.
Remember. Back then a "cupholder" used to be a plastic ring with an "L" shaped base on the bottom to hold the cup, and another "U" shaped bit on top to press down into the door/window gap.
We take the lowly cupholder for granted now. Back then, there were furious, raging arguments and debates about 'em in car design studios, factory manufacturing "cost accounting", and the pages of all the automotive press.
Different times folks. Different times.

I keep everything with a local credit union. I had too many banks bought out from under me.
Posted by: Jean at September 20, 2016 12:41 AM (ngn8T)
A lot of Credit Unions actually farm-out their back-ends to major banks. It used to be that general savings at large banks earned 5% interest, but you earned 6% interest on deposits over $100,000. Credit unions would take deposits from small accounts and pay them 5.5%, but would park the aggregate (over $100,000) at a large bank earning 6%.
Of course, that model isn't as lucrative as it once was -- but the machinery is still there and costs nearly nothing to operate.

"Algebra 101"? Wow, takes me back. Where I went to college there was no such course. If you hadn't learned algebra in high school you shouldn't even set foot on campus.
That being said, I remember helping someone at a different college with their math homework, and they got pissed at me as I chuckled about how I learned some of it in 5th grade. And by that I mean plain ol' public school.

I replaced a missing shock absorber on the left rear, and painted the rear trailing arm and accessible chassis parts. The roof, which was in primer, was looking a little rusty, so I scuffed it down with sandpaper in a rubber sanding block, and used a detail sander in some of the tighter spots. Then the windows started getting in the way, so I took out the windshield, back lite, and rear swing-out side windows, and pulled out and trashed the decayed headliner. Cleaned the glass channels with a wire wheel and detail sander, and sprayed them with etching primer from a rattle can. Tomorrow, i will mix up some two-part epoxy primer, and spray the entire roof, window frames, cowl, and front and rear pans. Maybe quarter panels, too.

If the company were at-fault, it should be at-fault if it hurt her a little or a lot. If she mishandled the coffee, it's entirely her problem whether she was slightly inconvenienced or died from it. She was given a cup of "hot beverage" and managed to do a crotch shot of it -- I'd judge differently if she was supposed to have been given a "cold beverage" or if the cup handles failed and it jumped into her lap.

A = 3*(n^2 - 4n + 2) + n
B = (2n + 1)*(n - 6) + n^2 + 3
So, multiplying out and combining,
A = 3n^2 - 11n + 6
B = 3n^2 - 11n - 3
Obviously, then,
A - B = 9
and the answer is
A = B + 9

Well, the shock wasn't missing. I had taken it off to wire-wheel and paint it, and had neglected to reinstall it. Brakes are all done, including hard lines and flex lines. Four new ball joints in the front end. What little rust there was in floor has been welded, and dings in the front and rear aprons fixed, and bumper brackets fixed. I think I ordered headliner and interior stuff for it; will have to check my stock. I have a better pair of doors to put on it, so I am neglecting the doors this go-round.
It has no engine in it, but I have a "built" 1600 dual-port to put into it.

I will probably use the points. I have never had much problem with them. And if they do go bad, it's usually amenable to a roadside repair. If the Pertronix module fails, you are stuck, unless you had the foresight to tote a set of points and condenser in the glove compartment.
Not like the distributor on a Beetle is hard to reach. On Studebaker V8's, I will do an electronic ignition conversion, because the distributor is at the rear of the block, and the OEM Prestolite distributors were darn poor, anyway.

Maths exam A=B+9 and x=2*sqrt(2)
Printed and took both versions of the exam. Definitely some typos (soccer ball problem had spurious (-) at front of equation of motion) and the number triangle problem was confusingly worded.
However, I do not see why this ought to have sent rest takers into paroxysms of despair. Most of the problems required factorization experience and as I recall, that was a big part of algebra.

multiply through by denominator
[ x^2 + 2x - 8] = (x/2)*[(x+2)*(x-2)]
factor 1st term [THIS IS KEY]
(x + 4)*(x - 2) = (x/2)*(x + 2)*(x - 2)
divide out (x-2) from both sides [THIS IS KEY]
(x + 4) = (x/2)*(x+2)
x + 4 = (1/2)*x^2 + x
subtract x from both sides
4 = (1/2)*x^2
multiply both sides by 2
8 = x^2
x = plus or minus sqrt(
The trick here is to do the factoring, and spot that there's a (x-2) on both sides. Otherwise, you have a nightmarish cubic equation.

You can buy a new 009 style Bosch distributor for under a hundred bucks.
The Prestolite distributors in Studebaker V8's used to wear the mechanical advance weights real bad. Oval out the pivot holes until the weights would scrub the inside of the housing, and strew iron powder around until the points shorted out. Solution is to ream out the holes and press in Oilite bushings made for the weights in the similar Prestolite distributors used in Chrysler products.
I have a Sun distributor machine, so if I get notion to, I can recurve a distributor.

Number three was traditionally the first cylinder in a VW engine to suffer from overheating, because it was downstream of the oil cooler, when the oil cooler lived inside the fan housing. But by the advent of the Thing, they moved the oil cooler outside the fan housing, and ducted air to it.
Job #1: set the tappets, cold, and then run it to warm it up, and do a warm compression test.

Arbalest and I attended a master class in making your own cylinder rings by a master machinist last Saturday. The two compression rings were tricky, but the oil ring was "holy-moly!!!!"
You don't need to be completely on top of everything he's doing, but if you just keep track of what's going through his mind as he decides things, you'll learn a lot. Things like the heads expanding more with heat than the block, or the rings needing to be hardened.....but not too hardened.

THEIR OWN ACTIONS!? They have purchased a product. What that person does
with that product after they make the purchase is not the
responsibility of the seller.
See, you are absolutely correct - if the buyer and seller are both in agreement over what the product actually is supposed to be. I don't think that is the case here. She ordered "hot coffee", and the implication is, "hot enough but still drinkable", not "hot enough to burn my throat if I drink it". I think that is the essence of the controversy here. IF she really did want scalding hot coffee, and IF she then decided to put that scalding hot coffee in her lap understanding that it might spill and burn her, then yes it is 100% her fault for acting stupidly. But, instead, IF what she really wanted was hot-but-not-scalding-hot coffee, and she assumed that is what she got, then she can't be faulted too much for treating it like a regular cup of coffee and not the boiling mess that she got.

It was $100 at a swap meet. The motor drive works, as does the distributor clamp system. The electronics for the strobe are shot, but I could just hook the distributor up to a coil, and use a timing light to read the degrees. I have a manual for it, too.
When I get around to it, I will rig it with white LEDs to replace the strobe tube.

Well-served coffee is too hot to drink when you first get it. It has to cool a bit and usually you have to blow on it a little and take small sips to start. That is GOOD coffee.
Any coffee that you get that you can just chug down the minute you get it won't be any good in 5 minutes, and good coffee is something that you drink slowly (over a cigarette or two, say, at least) and not chugging it down like a coke or glass of water. Coffee is to be enjoyed as much as "drank".

I'm not sure I want to let it run, but he said he did drive it when he bought it. but once it was off the trailer and home, it had no oil.. I saw it leaking straight out of the #1 ex valve, so thats no problem. The other prob was the starter just brinds the flywheel and crunches. So I need to take that out and examine a lil closer..
The engine spun at least 2x fully around, so its not locked up, and it shouldn't be on a bad spot on the flywheel.. Plus the starter has been replaced recently, so, maybe its just crap.

I am a big fan of soft cast-iron piston rings. They seat rapidly, and do not tear hell out of the cylinder walls. Also quite cheap. So when they wear out, hone the cylinder to deglaze it, and pop in another set of cheap cast iron rings. Those chrome rings may last longer, but by the time they go, you are going to need to rebore the block, and buy new pistons, too.

I looked at the whole test, and that's kind of my idea of a "good time". That being said, I can see how somebody not so used to applying what they have learned (and might be kid of weak on ro start with) would be somewhat lost and confused. Also, it's a fair amount to do in just an hour.
But some kids didn't answer ANYTHING? The rectangle questions are just plain old factoring!
The two problems shown in the article are the hardest ones, and for the one, they have something of a "leading question" immediately before it.

One of the members of our club passed away, and his son (who had a full shop back home himself in another state) was trying to clean things up in his shop. As Arbalest noted to me way back when, there's general-purpose machine tools and automotive machine tools and -- though they superficially work the same -- they tend to be optimized one-way-or-the-other. So I passed-up a large box of engine valve grinder jigs. A LARGE box. I could have been the go-to guy for grinding valve stems for 1950-1980 engines for the
West Coast, for a couple of hundred bucks.
As the world becomes pajama-boy'd, the machines and equipment become increasingly available on the cheap.

Might be the drive-end bushing for the starter. I think that is pressed into a bored hole in the transmission casting, and used to be a "must-do" item on every engine change, since it cost a buck or two. I think at some point, VW went to a starter with an integral drive-end housing and bushing.
Anyway, I am getting tired. I have a cold, and it is dragging me down a little. See you all tomorrow.

But, yeah, it all depends on what the owner wants to do.. If we can't work with this engine, I'm going to suggest we get a built 1776 or 1883, with a pair of webbers.

You don't need to be completely on top of everything he's doing, but if
you just keep track of what's going through his mind as he decides
things, you'll learn a lot. Things like the heads expanding more with
heat than the block, or the rings needing to be hardened.....but not too
hardened.

This master machinist also likes cast iron, heats 'em to about 1200 then drops 'em in water to semi-harden them. He well understands the heat to 1500 and drop in oil method and, for that matter, has done cast-iron castings on his driveway. He likes his rings his way.

Yeah, on a Beetle, a barrel set is the way to go. Although if you have it torn down for some other reason, and the pistons and barrels are real good a simple re-ring would gain you back the lost compression for less $$$. Sort of depends on how much value you place upon your time, and what sort of service you expect from the car.
But normally a high-miler Beetle engine will need new main and rod bearings, and might need the case align-bored for oversize (on the O.D.) bearings. If you can pass your finger over a bearing saddle in the case, and feel the ridge where the oil groove was, it needs to be bored.

I used to have a 1993 Toyota 4x4 which I loved, but it had the stupidest cup holder arrangement I've ever seen.
The double cup holder was positioned directly in front of a double air vent in the middle of the console, up above the radio. And the holder was rickety, so putting it up way too high like that guaranteed drips all down the front of the radio and center console controls.
But that's not the stupid part. By placing the cup holders directly in front of the air vents, they guaranteed you couldn't put a hot drink in there in the summer or a cold drink in there in the winter. Your cold soda wasn't going to stay cold long with a heater blowing on it from an inch away, and vice versa for hot drinks with the A/C blowing on them from an inch away.
Drove me nuts for 10 long years. Did love that truck otherwise though.

Posted by: ThunderB at September 20, 2016 02:10 AM (Ev+gl)
I read her article, and it's not clear that they are "all jihadi". Her two main pieces of evidence are:
1. that *someone else* (not a family member) posted a death threat against Pamela Geller on his brother's Facebook page, and
2. that he was arrested in 2014 for stabbing his sister, but he was released when his sister declined to press charges. Geller says that it is "in accordance with the sharia" that she didn't press charges, but that contention hasn't been shown.
Maybe there is some evidence that they are "all jihadi" but I don't think her evidence is all that watertight in proving the case.

Yep. There was the case of the Philly lady (with a LTC) who forgot that she had her gun with her as she went over the bridge into Jersey. She was pulled over for speeding, or something like that, and told the cop that she had the gun, which led to a near ruining of her life as Jersey refused to stand down on prosecuting her to the full extent. It went on for a while. I'm not sure how it eventually got resolved but she went through a ton of shit for something like a year, at least.

We have no obligation to let anyone in -- not a single soul. If 5% of a group are laced with poison, our government has a positive responsibility to exclude 100% of that group until they have an effective screening system to exclude the poisoned. It's just that simple.

Philadelphia mother whose legal gun got her arrested in NJ hopes for leniency
A young Philadelphia mother, hit with gun charges in New Jersey after being caught during a traffic stop with the firearm she carries legally in her home state, is hoping for leniency from the judge in the case, she tells FoxNews.com.
Shaneen Allen, 27, who is facing three years in prison, said Thursday she remains "very much worried" about her future and her two sons, Niaire, 10, and Sincere, 3, since being charged with unlawful possession of a weapon - a .380 Bersa Thunder handgun - and possession of hollow-point bullets after making an unsafe lane change in New Jersey's Atlantic County on Oct. 1.
....
Allen reiterated that she immediately told the officer she had a gun in her 2007 Chevrolet sedan, as well as a concealed carry permit for neighboring Pennsylvania.
"The officer knew there was a gun there, she was completely honest and open," her attorney, Evan Nappen, said. "There are no aggravating factors in this case; she's a single mom of two, working in the medical field who was robbed twice and that's what inspired her to get a gun license in the first place."
Nappen said potential jurors could invoke jury nullification, a constitutional doctrine allowing juries to acquit defendants who are technically guilty, but don't deserve to be punished. It can apply in all states, but attorneys are generally not permitted to introduce the concept to jurors.

There's nothing worse than putting a handful of jelly beans in your mouth, having a myriad of wonderful flavors take over your sensations and then ...

Never heard of Turtles. Cow-tails are caramel creams, but in a long tube instead of little round sections. And the caramel in the cow-tails is much less sticky (though the caramel in caramel creams isn't bad in terms of stickiness).

But I just could never stand the taste of pecans or walnuts and a bunch of other nuts. I could eat them if I had to (if I was at someone's house for dinner and couldn't turn away some dish) but I just don't like them.

Just saw the jelly bean analogy. Yes buzzion did raise it before.
Okay here is my comment on the jelly bean analogy. And I don't care if you respond to it or not, ignore it or not, whatever. That's fine. I'm going to go (or try to go) back to bed after this.
So, in this analogy, the jelly beans are supposed to represent Muslims, and the poisoned jelly beans are supposed to represent the Muslim jihadists, I presume. Obviously, if the analogy were as simple as that, if the bowl was contaminated with some poisoned jelly beans, no you wouldn't let any of them in. Out of caution. That is the answer you want me to come up with, right?
But, let's deconstruct this analogy a little bit. Human beings really aren't jelly beans, and human beings, unlike jelly beans, have the capacity to lie and disguise their true identities. So a more accurate analogy is that you have a bowl full of *what appears to be* jelly beans and skittles. You know that some of the jelly beans are poisoned, but you don't know about the skittles. Could they be poisoned jelly beans in disguise? What do you do?
So one potential option would be to not let any of the candies in, jelly beans *or* skittles. But if the jelly beans can disguise themselves as skittles, why can't they disguise themselves as some other type of candy? Does this mean all of the candies have to be kept out? If the operating principle for deciding which candies get in or out is an *absolute certainty* that there are no poisoned candies in the bowl at all, then the answer must be yes. If you know that there is at least one poisoned candy in the bowl, you have to keep them all out.
Is this the solution that you desire?

Note, again, the fallacy: that in the absence of a 100% solution, nothing can be done at all. It's a variant of his door to door searches for illegals idee fixe, which precipitated or at least preceded his temporary departure for greener pastures. There's no hope for the hopeless.

muslims have 57 muslim nations in the world to go infest. They have no reason to come here and we have no need and no desire for them to come. One of America's great advantages over the years is that we were blessed with about ZERO muslims since the inception of our nation.
The best that any nation filled with muzzies has ever achieved is Turkey, and that country only managed to exist with some semblance of individual liberty because the supreme power was ultimately kept with the secular military. Turkey stands as the pinnacle of muzzie social advance ... and Turkey, compared to Western societies, is a joke.
islam is a sick, violent, belligerent political ideology that is based on taking over all state power in the world. That is the sole purpose of islam. It ain't no jelly beans and we have no need for any of them, here. Forget vetting. This isn't about vetting. This is about our society and it cannot exist in any reasonable form with even a middling single digit percentage of muzzies. That is the clear lesson of history - for the last 1400 years and even further for the arabs.

But I had a bad ouzo experience once, though. And that's bad meaning I drank a metric fuckton of ouzo. All I really remember from that night is hanging onto a cold sink in the ladies' room at the Greek Islands and trying to remain upright. I have no idea how I made it back to the table, much less home. Never ever ever ever again.
Posted by: Gem
Ah yes, ouzo. I remember trying to traverse one of those spiral staircases to get to my room after consuming vast quantities of ouzo in Corfu (an Island off the western Greek coast). I somehow made it but nearly tore the staircase from the wall.

1. Beef Jerky
2. Pistachios (roasted and salted, in shell)
3. Wegmans Mountain Trail trail mix (almonds, cashews, peanuts, raisins, M & M's)
Nuts pack a terrific wallop of needed fats, protein and calories. Unfortunately for me, I'm allergic to tree nuts (walnuts, hickory, pecan, hazelnuts, filberts, Brazil etc. etc.) and the above includes just about every nut I can eat except macadamias.

Good Morning Morons. Today is Tuesday, September 20, 2016. On this day in 1982 the National Football League players began a 57-day strike. That was pretty much the end of pro football for me. The TV stations here preferred broadcasting the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys anyway, neither team which I gave a crap for anyway.

Well, if he's on a college campus with hundreds of 18-21 yr old grls, why would he want the supply of vulnerable grls reduced? IMO, he has some serious obsessive compulsive disorder issues which probably turn off American grls, so he has to key on the less knowledgeable from who knows where.
Whose opinion does he think he's going to change? I try to ignore him. Wish everyone would.

Including faking poll numbers.
They add words to quotes.
They remove words from quotes.
They attribute the actions of one candidate to the other candidate.
They refuse to be intellectually inquisitive concerning events in the past, and in the present.
They donate money almost exclusively to one political party.
They are the unpaid volunteers of the democratic political machine.
So to lie about poll results?
