Thursday Night Overnight Open Thread (10/27/16) [Mis. Hum.]
This day in history. October 27, 1964 Ronald Reagan gave his famous "A Time For Choosing Speech" Here is the written text of his speech.
Here is the actual speech. Fantastic 29 minutes of The Gipper. It didn't help Barry Goldwater but it launched Regan's political career.Now - late on the afternoon of 27 October 1939 - Pletch was looking forward to going solo. He was not going to take the controls in the usual way, however. He was going to do so after shooting his pilot in the back of the head. He may be long forgotten now, but Pletch came briefly to America's attention that autumn after booking tuition in Missouri with a pilot by the name of Carl Bivens. Midway through the third of these sessions, while airborne at 5,000 feet and sitting in the rear seat of a tandem training plane equipped with dual controls, he pulled a revolver from a trouser pocket and, without giving any warning, sent two .32 calibre bullets through Bivens's skull. Pletch then managed to land the plane, dumped the instructor's body in a thicket, and took off again, heading north to his home state to...well, what he intended to do was never really clear, and we will come to that.Immigration in Europe is not going to end well. Syrian refugee has struck it rich in Germany scamming the system. Industrious little guy. James Comey is called out. Retired FBI agent authors pointed letter to Comey. It is too bad that the MSM didn't pick up on it. Polls are confusing. Understanding the American public is as well. Record number of Americans oppose gun bans. Yet how many of these Americans will vote for a Democrat who wants to destroy the 2nd Amendment? Wow, simply unbelievable. NPR reports on Wikileaks. They are a day late and a dollar short but at least they are reporting it. Israel will not back down on its history.
Israel presented an ancient fragment of text in Hebrew referencing Jerusalem and recalled its ambassador to UNESCO in a gesture of protest against a resolution which criticized Israel for restricting Muslims' access to a holy site in the city.
Hey Honey, let's live longer. Before we hit the sheets (wink-wink) let's have another slice of garlic toast. Give me a burger and a beer. Different strokes for different folks. Wine and insects does that sound tantalizing to you? Is the ONT bullsh!ting you? Are you a fibber? How much do you know about the science of stretching the truth? Take the quiz. It's painless, really. Neanderthal sex could explain why Europeans and Africans have different immune systems.
Scientists investigating the immune system of modern humans have found significantly different responses in Europeans and Africans, and ancient breeding with Neanderthals tens of thousands of years ago could be partly to blame. The discovery could explain why Africans are generally born with stronger immune systems than Europeans, and why they're more predisposed to certain autoimmune conditions.Devotees of science versus followers of religion. Are only the latter to be taken to task for their alleged superstition?
Throughout the modern Western world, it is taken as a given that the religious members of a society are naive ignoramuses who are immune to rationality, to science, to the facts of life, believing as they do in ancient superstitions. They are to be contrasted with the rational beings from the secular part of the society, like scientists, as well as that part of the population who believe in, and who revere, science and said scientists, and who altogether, as one, laugh their heads off at the hopeless credulity of the religious folks. But ain't it true that once you start going into the details of the scientific scoops -- in an entirely rational, an entirely factual, and an entirely scientific manner, I might add -- a somewhat different picture starts to emerge? When we start to follow the news somewhat critically, aren't we surprised to learn how one scientific "fact", or "truth", after another turns out to be wrong or spurious? And furthermore, isn't there a darker, a much darker, side to the affair, one that the rational science thinkers cannot seem to fathom? Warning: this post, in seven parts, is the length of a book chapter.A lengthy read. But very interesting.
The Dating Game. Did you know that a convicted rapist and serial killer was a contestant?
Back when I was a kid, recess was given to elementary school students. Kids need recess not substitutes. There is a psychiatric hospital still open in England. Although it is still open a portion has been closed and abandoned for over 40 years. It's an eerie place.
There are some extremely creepy places in this world. Places that have been left abandoned for decades or even places that hold mysteries that have yet to be solved. That is exactly how this creepy place in York, UK has been left. Some thought it was an abandoned psychiatric hospital, but it's still in used to this day. But one part of the hospital has been abandoned for over 40 years and this photographer decided to take a look. These images are disturbing to say the least. Take a look below at this abandoned psychiatric hospital.Are you a people watcher? When you people watch do you look to see who is carrying? How to spot a concealed handgun.
Photos from yesteryear. The era before political correctness. The Cubs are in the World Series.Anything is possible, folks. The average High School Guidance Counselor should read the following.Don't do what you love for a career, do what makes you money. There are exceptions to this rule but for the most part it makes sense.

I remember watching it live. Note the Goldwater girls, Hillary was one.
The sad thing about it. When it ran we knew we had lost.
The good thing about it? It made Reagan the new star of the party.
I still cry when I watch it. NOTHING has changed since 1964, we are still fighting these commie bastards.

Original reports were that the Denisovans contributes 3-6% of Pacific Islander genes. That seemed like a lot, and also like a wide variation. Some researchers have found that the Denisovans only contributed about 1% to the islanders. The remainder is from yet another pre-human population, or else from a very early branch-off from the Denisovans.

My oldest son called me after the last debate, railing about what a looter Hillary and the Democrats are, and how bad it will be if she is elected.
I asked him if he was voting, and he said "Now I am!"
I told him to look up this video on YouTube, that it was a relevant today as it was in 1964. I remember seeing it as a child then

That was, of course, one of the dumbest commercials ever. Of course, pretty much every PSA is ridiculously stupid and nothing but a waste of our time and our money.
At least Sally Struthers and the losers with the animal ads that try to make the animals all look like they're crying have to pay for their time ... I think.

That was a pretty good one. The only one I liked better was the "I fallen and I can't get up" ad.* Both unintentionally funny to the max.
*I know, one was a PSA, the other a commercial, but since they are both trying to sell me something, one and the same in my mind.

A good immune system isn't much good against a shifting virus like the flu. Also since much of the flu's damage is done by the immune system's overreaction, a good immune system might even be harmful.
The best defence against the flu is not to get it in the first place, and staying away from people (and from livestock) does help against that.

Sure ... You and I can read books and look at pictures and listen to songs and associate the words and images and lyrics to concepts and make conclusions from there.
Most people can't. And most people never could. Most people just have to touch the stove to figure it out.

Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.
We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn.
That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breath of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.
We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market-Place;
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.
With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch.
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch.
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings.
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.
When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."
On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Heading said: "The Wages of Sin is Death."
In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul; But, though we had
plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Heading said: "If you don't work you die."
Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew,
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not God that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four-
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man-
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began:-
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wobbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; }

Moscow mules with my favorite $9/l vodka and small batch ginger beer. Doing the math, this works out to about a $1/drink.
The world is a vampire, sent to drain.
Trying to stay out of DOOM's way.
Our mama's are getting older. My mom is mentally sharp, but physically falling apart. My mother in law is going the other way, physically she is strong as a horse, but she is losing her faculties. Ai-yi-yi.
Work is work. I get a paycheck that keeps things going, and wifey does too, and that's a lot more than a lot of people have. And I checked out zilllow and 18 months after purchasing this house we are up 15%. Can't complain.
Have no idea what to make of this whole election and polling and all that. All things being equal, if all the outlier polls had Trump up 14%, I would feel better. I keep saying our hope lies in Brexit. I mean, polling is a science, right? And yet they go from Trump up 2 to Hillary up 14. That doesn't jibe.
I lift my eyes up to the hills, where does my help come from?
Army football is destined to break my heart. Just hang. On. To. The. Football. Haven't beaten Navy since 2001. Any given Saturday but come on.
.223 is at least plentiful if not actually cheap. Forget that musket business.
I have a good wife, good kids, a good dog.
Thanksgiving is coming up. Remember the thankfulness.
So feeling a bit melancholy, crew. Buying some pudding cups just in case.

But I also told her she would be relatively poor, and frequently worried about her job situation. OTOH, nurses are always in demand everywhere in the country and make a decent living.
She's now a pediatric nurse and loves her job per her own admission. I'm just happy that she's happy.

Italian from when? British from when? (Picts, Celts, Angles, Saxons, Jutes?).
People have been moving around and fucking each other forever. Moving around is easier in places with boats, so the Mediterranean people have been fucking each other more than most, but everyone capable of it has gone somewhere else and fucked somebody.

Except, as someone else then noted, the specific warhead fitted to the Pershing II has been taken out of service, by the unanimous concurrence of our elite foreign policy mandarinate in D.C., with no successor system in place.

And pounding away on the keys is great therapy, physical and emotional. I'm not kidding about the therapeutic aspects.
I just need to choose between the Royal KMM from 1939 or the Underwood from the mid-1940s. They are the large, desk top machines, not portables, and work as well as the day they left the factory. And I like the idea that something older than me can continue to function. :-)

One of the studies I read about from the 90's was a review of the difference between parasites and infections from the old world and from the Americas. Pre-colombian parasites and infections tended to be generalist-type infections with animal reservoirs, the Old world ones tended to be more human specific. I would expect a similar situation moving from Africa to Europe as well.
Follow that up with the view that immune systems are expensive, metabolically. If there is less need for it, it makes evolutionary sense (in a way) to reduce the drain on the system and focus on things that might be of more use.

No. Smarties aren't tart, at all. And, except for the disgusting black licorice ones, they're great.
Sweet Tarts are awesome but they are a totally different sort of candy from Smarties. Whole different taste universe. Smarties are closer to pez than to Sweet Tarts, though smarties are much bigger than either of them.

But interesting in other ways.
The Daily Mail continues the tradition of spectacular inaccuracy in all things military and icky by identifying a Russian mobile IRBM as the "biggest nuclear missile" the country's ever had. WTF? Haven't checked, but it's probably smaller than the second stage of an SS-18/R-36.
And the figures for "Russian menace" and "NATO response" as listed in the Daily Mail article cited are pretty funny. We're talking smaller numbers, total, than would have been involved for an individual second-tier NATO or Warsaw Pact member during a large exercise back in the 60s.
One factoid that intrigues me (and has precisely nothing to do with any "NATO/Russia crisis!!!") is 5,000 Russian troops in Yerevan, Armenia. The Russian border guards never really left (making arrival at the Yerevan airport a trip down memory lane back in the 90s), but 5,000 troops sounds like something else. Above all, most likely, an "F U" to Azerbaijan.
And I know it's become nearly an article of faith that "Putin wants to re-conquer the Baltics!!!", but I don't think so, it makes no sense, and I'd love to be edumucated by someone with more than bald speculative statements that just re-state this claim.
Putin has yet to do anything both stupid AND important. Baltic shenanigans would easily fall in this category.

As for their rifles, I bought a couple Ruger 10-22s for the kids, as they're considered the gold standard, and was unimpressed. Both jammed a lot, regardless of what I did (ammo, mags, cleaning, oils, polishing, etc). Got a CZ 455, and much happier. Pretty, quality, and very accurate.

Was it a fully conscious political act? Perhaps not --- but that may be a good thing. Seeing things as a political issue, "liberal" vs. "conservative," Democrat vs. Republican, etc., may paralyze reaction.
But if the simple sense of a community is that certain powers are acting like bullies, the people may unite against them.
Think of Gamergate. Was that explicitly political?

I've been told the Ruger is the bees knees...after an expensive trigger job, etc. My Marlin 795 has worked straight from the box with no problems whatsoever, I put the EOTech sights on it to make an Appleseed rifle (I have yet to attend though).
My own opinion, Ruger 10/22s, much like the vaunted M1911, is over-rated. Better firearms can be obtained cheaper, especially when you consider all the work the 10/22 and the M1911 seem to need just to make them reliable functioning firearms (or in the case of the M1911 how much cash you have to spend up front for a functioning reliable firearm that doesn't need a lot of extra work to make it so).

Putin's undoubtedly got more important things on his plate. However -
1.) The Baltics have large populations of Russian nationals (probably moved there by the Soviets)
2.) There's enough activity by Russian trolls - including what appear to be false flag stunts - that there are dedicated groups of volunteers in the Baltic states that spend their time policing chat rooms and dog-piling on trolls.
The fear right now is that the Russian government will pull a false flag operation designed to allow Moscow to claim that it's coming to the "aid" of the Russian nationals living in the Baltics.
Putin might not want to send the troops up there at this time. But he definitely hasn't forgotten about them.

But these discussions universally "beg the question" (proper use of the term) by assuming Putin has a desire to re-acquire the Baltics by force, an assumption that refuses to make any sense no matter how many times it's repeated.
The Baltic states can easily (and probably should, anyway) keep things far below the point where there would be any plausible rationale for an extreme measure like force to "rescue" Russian ethnics.

Also, my time is pretty limited during deer season, but if you have
interest, I have an inflatable boat and a firm confirmation of feral
pigs on a gameland parcel, we could go give a go at-em during turkey
season in the spring with shotguns if you have a license with gameland
permissions.

It's superbly well made, has lovely lines, handles like a dream and shoots like a house afire.
Long as it's not a windy day, it'll stay under 1 MOA at 100 yards, with CCI Mini Mags. And that's with iron sights.
Shooting the Remington Subsonic ammo? Nearly as quiet as a can. There isn't any powder burning by the end of the 24 in. barrel, and no supersonic crack from the projectile.
And 12k rounds in stock just doesn't eat up space like centerfire rounds do. What's not to love?

If I could shit-can most of NATO and replace it with a new alliance, I'd start with the Czech Republic (obviously to help/protect them, they're not big enough to offer much in return). Guns, beer, .... um, female human fauna, hockey - and attitude.
There's a Czech regular on a gun forum, he provides good insight and news on gun-related issues there. One cool thing he reported was how there is a very prominent inclusion of historical American vehicles and re-enactors for WWII "liberation day" commemorations every spring.

Don't remember where we were, state fair maybe, but I got a sample packet of instant coffee. I was only a kid, but I liked the smell of coffee, so I tore open the pouch, put it up to my nose and inhaled a little too deeply. Pretty much snorted the whole packet.

Not a fanboi of anything, or anyone. But that description doesn't
track with the world I know.
*shrug* Every single 10/22 I know of needed a trigger job, which apparently adds at least a hundred dollars to the price of the gun. Range Partner has one that he put a little over $400 into and I can shoot right along with him using my $250 Marlin, out of the same bucket of ammo, with fewer FTL issues.
Likewise it seems that everyone I hear talking about their 1911 is telling me about all the work they have had done to it, or need to have done to it, or how they paid $800+ for their gun and haven't had a single problem with it. Meanwhile I have a Glock 36 (that I had to put different springs in, the 36 has a deservedly evil reputation for FTE in the Gen 2 that Glock never actually acknowledged - blamed it on limp-wristing - that doesn't seem to affect the Gen 3/4 guns) that I can shoot right alongside of them, all day every day, that I only paid $500 new for (plus the $30 spring set).

More like 45 min, I'm in Franklinton (about 10 miles north of Wake Forest). I'm trying to find a good deer hunting spot, the two I had staked out for this season fell through. I guess I could go down to Pittsboro to hunt with my co-worker again but I was hoping to find something a little closer. Doesn't seem to be anything in Franklin County.

This is a post about Donald Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame star being destroyed. The vast majority of comments on this post express disapproval (with the expected caveats about not liking Trump) on the grounds that destruction of property over political differences is not cool. Nice! I'm happy to see this viewpoint expressed.
But then you have this...
http://preview.tinyurl.com/zomwkpe
The vast majority of comments here regard a medical office potentially "discriminating" against trannies, and how that's totally not cool. But... doctors and nurses have to discriminate against "trans people" to some extent, or else they aren't doing their jobs properly.
A gynecologist who accepts an appointment with a male-to-female tranny, and treats HIM like any actual woman, for example, is wasting the patient's time at best and committing full-on malpractice at worst. No matter what modifications this patient is having done through surgery or drugs, his body remains essentially male. Any medical issues he has will be influenced much more by his biological sex than by what he personally believes his sex to be.
No, my friend; you do not have a problem with your uterus, or your ovaries, or your fallopian tubes or your cervix, because you don't even fucking have those parts. You do have a prostate though, even as a post-op, so you might need to see a proctologist for problems in that area, sir.
Medical practitioners must discriminate against trans-gender types to some extent, or else they just aren't doing their job. Period.

Once upon a time, before the guy who owns the property behind me tried to cash in on the booming real estate market and clear cut the land, the deer used to walk right through my back yard and I had a dandy little hunting spot just past the tree line. Of course right after he cut the timber off of it the housing market spiraled the drain and he never did get it sold. Still clear though, it's a tobacco field now.

==================
I've been looking through job ads for months and I've come to realize that I hate them all.
I think the job I'd like would be as a sassy housekeeper to an eye-rolling couple (I would be both a reason and source of eye-rolling). Not like Hazel - I'm not kind enough, and sometimes my humor burns like <fill in your own STD here>. The head of the house would respect my opinion despite himself, because I would create the most delicious dinners, and the lady of the house would be subverted by me in the end (no, not sexually).We would laugh a lot there. It wouldn't be particular clean, but it would be homey.After a few years of this, I would maybe meet a gentleman who could persuade me to let him get into my pants, and then we would settle in a nice cottage with a garden somewhere with only a few very trustworthy neighbors. We'd have guns hidden in every room just in case, and we'd can vegetables and drink wine and make love as much as we possibly could.We would die holding hands.

It was bad on multiple levels. First, it simply didn't make any sense for her to be there. She admitted this, saying she was just looking to plug her book. All well and good but this was a bit above and beyond the call of media presence.
Then there was the general failure of the comics to have anything remotely creative to say. I had the impression that most had only the vaguest impression of who she and just knew she was part of a general category of people it was alright to hate for hate's sake.
So the result was just crap in every way.

The sad thing is women these days call you all sorts of names if you attempt to defend them, unless you were supposed to and didn't, in which case you get called all sorts of names.
I saw a guy that opened a door for a girl who (as she walked through the opened door) called him a sexist and said she could open her own goddamed doors. He grabbed her and pushed her back out and shut the door in her face, and then she really went apeshit on him.

I saw a guy that opened a door for a girl who (as she walked through the opened door) called him a sexist and said she could open her own goddamed doors. He grabbed her and pushed her back out and shut the door in her face, and then she really went apeshit on him.

I didn't see any problem either.
I think it's totally justified to get pissed about it, but since the topic has been raised...
Ann Coulter puts herself out there for a reason. She intentionally makes herself a target, then walked into a rattlesnake nest of Leftists.
I get more upset of nobody standing up and defending all of Bill Clinton's victims.
Or the little girl maimed in a rape that Hilary defamed, bullied and then laughed about it.

It was a right of passage 15 years ago at the University of Colorado to have sex on the 3rd&half floor.
Also during study nights during midterms a sorority freahmen and a fraternity freahmen would streak naked through the library. Absolutely hilarious and a great tension and stress breaker.

Something to be happy about: Trump has the highest support among black voters of any Republican candidate since Nixon. Polling between 16-19% last week. If he gets up to 25%, the Dems are pretty much toast.
It's not as good as we could be doing, but change has to start somewhere, and that's a humongous improvement versus the typical single digits.

Likewise. Depending on where the precincts are for the general, I've got one that's on my way home from work, and another that's a few blocks from where I live. Given the weird hours I work, I'm usually one of the first ones in, which means there's almost nobody there.

If all I ever read in the press was the Chicago Tribune, I'd be at a
real loss why Trump isn't tar and feathered. Horrible man.....Every
other article points that out in many ways...Their heads will explode if
he is elected..Maybe they will leave the US and publish in Canada.
.
.
.
.I am amazed that Trump is actually not down by 20+ points due to the 24/7 negative attacks on him by virtually every media outlet in the Country. Their absolute refusal to even cover damning stories of clinton should force them to count every single bit of profit they make as in kind campaign contributions.
This isn't really about Trump anymore, this is all out war being conducted by the establishment to maintain the status quo and the msm is complicit in it. They are pi$$ed that it wasn't !jeb.
