Overnight Open Thread (30 Dec 2016)
These sanctions are just like everything else Obama has done. They are puny, they are ineffectual, they are self-serving, and they are designed to demonize domestic opponents.
4 Years Ago
Ah yes, a time that when you blew off the President, it was deemed a very bad thing by the press. Tim Thomas put himself above team. You won't see coverage like this for those blowing off Trump. Now it's seen as a badge of honor. Spare me your outrage lefties if you don't even live by your own rules. Don't even get me started on your "coexist" BS. You can't even practice that either. In related news, now liberals are pushing for a boycott of the Rockettes as they have enough volunteers to perform at Trump's inauguration. Also: Mormon Tabernacle Choir singer resigns rather than sing for Trump. She compares Trump to Hitler. Someone needs to hit the history books as they obviously don't know what Hitler did if they're comparing the two. Idiot. Electronic Devices
The result today is an academic sub-specialty wedded to a tightly-corseted belief that the United States represents the locus of sin (racism, sexism, colonialism, and the like) in the modern world, and that any study of America should restrict itself to call-outs and condemnations. American Studies now serves chiefly as validation system for academicians who know their findings in advance: racism, sexism, and imperialism.Crying Wolf Keep it up media. Its not working. The media that cried wolf. Transgender Dog Prank!

When we take our newf to the pet store, he likes to "shop" by checking out the toys and bones, and will get exactly one treat from the open bins of treats. He carries it to the checker, too. Then goes around to their side of the counter and pushes the treat bin there. He's absolutely shameful.

Sort of like the claim that the koran says that harming one person is like harming the whole world (or some such). It is *very* important to find out what the definition of "person" is. Turns out dhimmis, infidels, and pagans all don't qualify.

The op rod is a huge mass of reciprocating metal that cycles every time it's fired. Now you need to re-aim, because a couple pounds of steel has just bounced through your rifle.
The corrosive cartridges blow fouling through the whole gas system, requiring constant cleaning.
Using .30-06 instead of .276 was purely political and didn't do any favors for the guys who had to use it. It hit harder, but spewing 9mm pistol rounds was already a pretty handy trick and delivering .30 at 1000 yards wasn't really a world-beater anymore.
Detachable box magazines were already a solved problem 20 years earlier; using en-bloc clips to charge an internal magazine was a hilarious anachronism.
The safety is inside the trigger guard. The procedure for disengaging the safety is pretty much sticking your finger in the trigger guard. AYFKM.
It was absolutely the best of all the standard-issued infantry weapons of its time, but it really should have been a lot better, and there's no real reason it couldn't have been.

Dunno when Service Grades will be available again (somebody else here might), but you could also spend $1030 and get a Special Grade (new barrel, new stock).
Garands are even cooler than you think. If you're a WWII buff, as I am, it's funny - past few days I've been finding Battle of Bulge video/imagery online to supplement a book I'm reading, and seeing the guys firing their M1s, the clips ejecting ....

Yeah, I've heard of hypoallergenic pooches before -- but I'm thinking more like a border or Australian. Or, even better, a heterogenous pack -- and that would involve changing my circumstances.

Anyway, Cdr M (and any similarly inclined morons), if such an addition fits into your shooting/collecting/whatever program otherwise, there's nothing to be gained by not buying a CMP Garand while you can.
Price on the "secondary" market is already higher, and will probably become much more so when CMP finally runs out of the regular grades (a storied milestone which the last executive director said was actually, finally, in sight as of two years ago).

I saw it all as virtue-signalling, that he would henceforth be much more friendly to the GOPe/Dem alliance in order to nurture and improve his relevancy in their eyes and thus improve his future economic prospects.
In other words, he straight-up sold out with that declaration.
I was not the least bit surprised when he came right out opposing Donald Trump with every fiber of his being, because I already knew Blecch was a sell-out. He'd already straight-up declared it! And so, his protestations meant absolutely nothing to me.

Yes it was primarily designed to go beneath radar, though it has some radar-stealthiness inherent in its design.
It's original, primary anti-USSR penetrating mission may have been OBE'd by technology and other changes, but I believe it is one hell of a platform for delivering conventional ordnance. Haven't kept up, but I believe with its very large conventional bomb capacity, it could deliver a crap-ton of guided ordnance (JDAM-like, passive).
So, not without value or use, seems to me.

Hey Guys,
I'm having issues with my car not starting. Back in November I had to get it jumped, took it into the shop which said the battery was bad and replaced it for a cost of $179, even though I replaced that battery less than three years ago. Last week it happened again. Took it back to same shop and this time they said nothing was wrong with it. Tested the battery, cables and alternator and charged me $36. Tonight, one day after picking it up, it again is not starting. What gives? One clue is that when it does start, the headlights and dash lights fade in and out for a few minutes.

The biological and chemical function of kissing is sensing pheromones
from your mate and to produce oxytocin to bond among other things a
phone device cannot do.
People are going to be fucked up in the future if the current trajectory holds.

I recall Oxytocin being the chemical used by the aliens in "Under the Dome" to seduce the humans. Marg Helgenberger's nasty lips were a major distraction.

Now Russia is a rival and a competitor and still given to thuggish behavior. Though there are still important areas of cooperation and even common cause (mostly in counter-terror). But the damage to US interests the last 8 years - and that's been significant - has been almost *entirely* self-inflicted, and Russia played no role at all in the most important cases.

The U.S. Coast Guard has called off a search for a plane that disappeared over Lake Erie, with the chief executive of a Columbus beverage distributor who was piloting it and his five passengers now presumed to be dead.
The search was suspended at 7:30 p.m. Friday. It will be turned over to the city of Cleveland as a recovery operation beginning Saturday morning. The Coast Guard will still assist.

As one would imagine, Air Force gets some pretty good fly-overs to start home games.
Can't recall - I think F-16s, then F-15s. Then - a B-1, ears back, sprinting - and looking *very* low.
We were towards the top of the stadium, at one end of the elongated bowl. B-1 comes screaming in, and from the sight, the sound (everyone had to cover their ears), and the fuel vapor/exhaust that was visible and quite odiferous settling all around us - it appeared he was *too* low.
Our Air Force escort, as I recall, later told us he was too low, and got in some warm water over his stunt. Of course, it was awesome.

Another Jewish, German-speaking intel officer was not so lucky: he was "outed" by German prisoners after the unit in which he served surrendered en masse to the Germans a day later. He and another Jewish GI were murdered by their captors.
I'm not aware of another such case of murdered American POWs who were killed by the Germans specifically because they were Jewish. But at the Bulge, many of the Germans (not just the SS) sort of went "eastern front" on the US forces, at least in several cases.

Hell, look at our Sherman against the German tanks. The Germans had multiple types of tanks that could easily kill a Sherman, but not enough of them. Sure a single Tiger could and did destroy 10 Shermans at a time, but we could afford to take the losses. Also, our tanks were just good enough to take out their tanks under the right circumstances. Thanks to superior numbers we were able to achieve those "circumstances" and wear them down by destroying tanks and killing crews they could not replace. China seems to have learned this lesson.

One would hope.
Years ago I read a book written by a retired Chinese General (?) who said that taking us on strictly in a conventional manner was a losing proposition, so they should rely heavily on asymmetric warfare. Cyber warfare, corporate espionage, plain espionage, political sabotage, economic warfare, etc. One example is how years ago they developed multiple ways to destroy our satellites. As we have become very satellite dependent, that is significant. Hell, they are even ahead of us in hypersonic weapons delivery. Also according to the book, they would not be against using chemical, biological, even nuclear weapons under the right circumstances.
Pop a nuke over the U.S., crash our banking system and/or electrical grid, and dare us to respond as they invade Taiwan was one scenario mentioned.
This book was VERY popular in Chinese leadership circles.

Freshman: How do you play backgammon?Sophomore: My date and I were thinking of playing backgammon, can we borrow a board?Junior: I have dates over to my place and we play backgammon with the board I own.Senior: I have dates that go, "the hell with backgammon, wanna fuck?"

When I got my first dog, the vet suggested having him neutered. I asked
if it was necessary since he would be in a fenced yard with a nice new
chain link fence. The vet said that they'll do it right through the
fence. The female backs up to the fence and they go at it.

It's kind of odd, for a while PaleMoon was formatting text I entered like it was Word, it would space and format spaces between paragraphs and everything.
Made the place kind of boring, really
Then there was a critical upgrade and the formatting went back to Pixie-special and I went back to wiping out the final paragraph formatting by erasing all the paragraph breaks and re-creating them with the [enter] key to avoid the odd formatting inherent in the system.

We have a new database at work.
We are never sure if the most recent changes are intentional or some artifact of the IT crew fixing/dicking with something else.
The unanounced font change was intentional, the fact that the indicators were dropped on file read-outs for 24 hours apparently was not intentional.

Just from company. And sometimes my brother. You'd think he's done nothing but torture her instead of pet her and feed her every morning.
So as passive aggressive revenge, he's filled her plastic bottle (the one that has a hole in it that only releases a few crunchies at a time) and taped over the hole.

Well, here's the thing, Cenk (hereinafter referred to as Tubby)... "The Young Turks" is a corporation, right? You straight-up say it is in this video. You say you don't think corporations have basic human rights, but I don't think you've really thought this through, Tubby.
The Young Turks (hereinafter referred to as TYT), as a corporation, because corporations are people, has a First Amendment right to make videos proclaiming their corporate views. These happen to be your views, made easier to disseminate by virtue of TYT being a corporation and having corporate resources.
TYT also has other rights that we grant to people. Like the Fourth Amendment right to protection against unreasonable search and seizure, and the Third Amendment right against forced lodging of troops.
If corporations have no such rights, Tubby, then you can't object to the idea of federal officers strolling into your studio and telling you, "We're just gonna take away your cameras and your furniture, now. We can sell those to fund our operations. You guys can still use your personal iPhones to film your show while sitting on the floor, right? Oh, and by the way, we're also gonna keep some agents housed here in your studio, just to see if you have or will obtain any other assets we can sell to fund our bureau."
You couldn't object to that, now, could you, Tubby? After all, corporations are not people and thus do not have the same basic rights that people have.

We had a similar situation here, quite recently. Sluggish start, dim lights (sometimes!) and then 'alt' idiot light coming on... (again, only sometimes).
Took it to autoparts store for testing. Battery OK, alternatore OK, they said. So, replaced the serpentine belt and tensioner assembly, thinking "okay, intermittent belt slippage" and that that would fix it. [Battery only a couple years old, car >20years.]
A week later-- hubby was driving and-- pfft! Dead on the road. Nuthin'.
Put a new alternator in it, gave it a jump and No Problemo since.

I believe as an airline pilot you have a federally-mandated right to a concealed-carry permit, if that interests you. Had some pilots at the range last month, among other things they were practicing with their carry pieces (that they pack on the plane).

Ha! I've had that callsign since before the current war started. Holy shit I'm old. But I have been trying to get away from using it. Some.
Sortof unrelated story - spent my free time in the last couple of months learning civilian multi-engine flying. School I've been using also does Navy's IFS (Initial Flight School? I don't know, Navy students get about 15 hours light civil before they start real flight school.) Got to know a few instructors, and the girl that runs the desk. She's really cute, btw. Nervous as shit before my checkride, because it's the first civilian checkride I've done since 1996. Mention this to the girl. She says, "that's funny, that's the year I was born." Holy shit I'm really old. But honestly, gives me a little hope about this coming generation - she's a couple of years out of high school, and pretty much running the flight schedule where future warriors start out. I was impressed when I thought she was mid-20s. Much more impressed now that I know how young she is.

On what equipment/airframes do you hope to secure a seat in the cockpit?

Regardless, I'd love to be on board should you ever decide to fly a carrier pattern with the turn at the break.

The click is the starter solenoid (a relay or electrically-powered switch), which allows full current to flow to the starter - providing there is full battery current to be had. All the car's electrical devices, from lights and radio to fuel injectors and the starter, run on battery power; the alternator recharges the battery as the engine runs. If the battery is low on charge, there may be enough power to light up the dome light or engage the starter solenoid, but not enough to spin the starter motor for long, if at all. Since you have a newer battery, it's likely the alternator is bad and won't charge the battery; the fluctuating lights point toward this as well. However, a bad starter will cause the above symptoms, as it will drain the battery in its attempt to spin up. It too can be tested on the bench at Advance or AutoZone, but has to be removed from the vehicle first. I've changed all these items in the street, but I had tools and an F350 that was easy to crawl under. Ask around at the parts place who they would take their car to if they had to; the NAPA parts houses cater primarily to pro mechanics and serious DIY types, so you may get better advice there. Good luck.

Neighbor's 50 yr old charger, a two gallon (?) Bucket of water, baking soda, and some scrap steel I had around.
The baking soda worked just fine.
Cleaned up an old chisel beautifully. Once oiled, it is as smooth as glass. Still has a nice looking patina, too. I just need to make a handle for it & sharpen it now.
And find every other old rusty tool around the house & garages.

The good, they die young, it seems:
Black Mountain - Judith Ann Thomas Gulick, a child beloved of God, born in the South Texas farming community of Taft to Cody and Lucile Thomas on February 26, 1955, passed away from Alzheimer's on December 26, 2016. Judy was sister to Bill, Burt, and Brian, valedictorian of her 1973 high school class, graduated Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas in 1977. She was an active member of Delta Zeta and earned her CPA. Judy held a number of accounting positions before and after raising her family.
In 1983, Judy married Dale Eugene Gulick in San Antonio. They moved to Austin in 1985. In 1987, Nathaniel was born, followed in 1989 by Morgan. Both sons are computer programmers. At the time of her passing, Judy and Dale had been married 33 years.
Although her greatest ambition was to be a mother and raise well her children, throughout her life, Judy found ways to make a difference, whether it was organizing the elementary school track and field days or running the middle school store or helping her church through hard financial times, saving it from bankruptcy, or just the endless hours and miles spent driving Morgan and Nathaniel to gymnastics practices. Judy met opportunity with a smile and her sleeves rolled up.
Judy was an avid quilter who enjoyed reading and hiking. In 2015 she and Dale retired to Black Mountain, North Carolina where they built a home in the mountains she loved, and true to form, Judy was there, varnishing window frames and installing hardwood floors—it is who she was.
Proceeded in death by her parents and brother Burt, and survived by her husband and sons, Nathaniel's wife Serena, and their son Gareth, Judy's brothers Brian and Burt, and Dale's brother Karl and sister-in-law Suzanne.

You're on Linux, right? I just run everything through a script that removes any Pixy formatting before I paste anything here.
#!/bin/bash
iconv -f UTF8 -t ASCII//TRANSLIT </dev/clipboard >/dev/clipboard
That works with cygwin, since I am in a windows environment. Anything on the clipboard gets fixed (formatting removed plus non-ascii transliterated) then stuffed back onto the clipboard. I don't know if you have the clipboard setup as a /dev in a real linux environment, so you may have to tweak that part.

Beat like a drum for 48 seconds. Red called it. She did not even attempt to defend herself unless her strategy was to use her face to block punches.

Just saw it. I don't think she threw the fight. The unprepared thing may be more on the money. She should have seen this coming... it was a replay of the Holm fight. It was obvious from before Holm that her weakness was in stand up stoushes. Everyone had tried to get technical with Rousey and you're not going to win a wrestling match against her. You gotta finish her in the first minute or so, with hard strikes to the head. Forget everything else. It looks like Rousey's either done nothing to plug that weakness, or she can't match it with a heavy early striker.

Yeah, I think so. What was interesting and gives me pause is that Nunes didn't even have to do much in takedown defence... Holm used great TD defence to avoid getting into an arm wrestle with her before smashing her at a range that suited Holm. Nunes didn't even have to do that that... just clobbered her and game over. Rousey's had a year to fix that shit and it looks like she hasn't.

The competition finally caught up with her and The UFC. She looked scared to death before the fight. It was over before it started. She refused to defend herself except by blocking punches with her face.
The UFC played people by propping her up. They sank to Don King territory with boxing tonight. Dana White knew She. Would get destroyed and so did Rousey hence the 3 million to come back to throw a fight. The talking points and spin was prepared by the UFC and Dana White.
She took a dive. And she embaressed herself and Dana White while doing so. Calling not being ready or whatever but if she really wanted to fight after a year for the title, it would not take 3 million plus riipping off companies for endorsements. She ran into 27 punches in 48 seconds and took minimal damage to her surgically altered feminine new face. She walked away with zero press conference before and I doubt she said much if anything afterwards.
This fight was 100% about her brand and about Dana White milking her one last time. She destroyed her brand by not even fighting or defending herself. It was embarrassing. Dana White and the UFC should be ashamed of themselves as they own it too.
A bad night for competitive sports with that showing.

Yeah, I think the Holm fight broke her. Dunno if she threw it... perhaps. But, it certainly looks like her heart's not in it anymore... she knows the opposition has figured her out and either she is incapable of adapting or she couldn't be arsed.

If I recall correctly she has been throwing out signals for over a year that she ultimately wants kids and to live on a ranch.
Well after tonight she best invest that money and forget about Hollywood and the diva lifestyle. If she needs a sperm dinar I ready to go at a moments notice. Her face has had some quality work on it And nothing was damaged tonight.
Hope she finds peace with being a mom and a wife.

We have carefully analyzed the lesbian porn and, upon seeing the obvious sophistication of the tweet and knowing that none but a state actor could have possibly hacked Josh Marshall's twitter feed in this manner ... we have come to the conclusion that this was, undoubtedly, the job of Russian hackers - GRIZZLY STEPPE, in spy terms ... but you lay people wouldn't understand that - and we are positive that Vladimir Putin ordered this hack attack on Josh Marshall.

I'm having a couple of Pepperidge Farms holiday lemon cookies. Not bad. Tastes like lemon, though I'm sure the 'lemon' is a chemical formula longer than all but an expert could decipher. But dammit, they taste like lemon. I hate lemon cookies that only contain 'LEMON' on the package label.

That Alexa story is fascinating, and why I always put my phone away and tried my best to keep Windows from loading Cortana on my computer (it did it, anyway, during some update). I'm not sure if I will ever be comfortable with an Alexa or Echo, no matter how convenient.

Good Morning Morons. Today is Saturday, December 31, 2016. On this day in 1983 the ATT Bell System was broken up by the United States Government. The company had been operating for a long time as a "Regulated Monopoly" much like the electric companies. This was one of those cases where it wasn't broken and it did not need fixing. The case was brought by Nixon's DOJ.

Tonight my family will macabrely bond as we select our stiffs-to-be for the Lee Atwater Invitational. I wasn't in the mood last year, and my husband only got 3 correct - Abe, Nancy & Zsa Zsa - (so far...who knows what the day will bring). But 2016 was a wacky year, by all accounts, with weird, unexpected deaths such as:
George Michael, 53
Trying to narrow down cause of death. Possibilities:
- Boom boom in heart
- Jitterbug in brain
- Hanging like Yo Yo
- Years of drug use and driving under the influence
Has to be one of those.
Nope, no sentimentality over there.

Breaking up AT+T was the right thing to do. It benefited everyone - most of all AT+T, which was then allowed to compete in many fields that it had been leading in research for years - and allowed others into the phone space.

I wouldn't even give those hacks the respect of sarcastic quotes.
One is the outright lie that Russian "hacking" was responsible for the Trump win in November.
Yeah ... that was just a sad joke. And no one believes it. Not even the dem imbeciles.
And number two, Russia has actually been conducting a large spying operation in the US. But I have think that has been going on for a long time.

That's certainly true ... but it's probably not even a quarter the size of the Chinese operation.
