Overnight Open Thread (20 May 2017)
Chinese Top Gun
I guess the Chinese have seem the movie Top Gun. 2 Chinese fighter jets gave a US surveillance plane the Top Gun treatment. Inverted huh? Venezuela Yeah, the coverage has been pretty light. Why the left refuses to talk about Venezuela. Anyone hear from Sean Penn or Danny Glover on this?Nevertheless, as a dedicated leftist, Lange-Chrion unfortunately still mistakenly thinks that the Venezuelan problem is political and not economic. For him, it's merely an unfortunate coincidence that the implementation of the Chavismo economic agenda just happened to coincide with the destruction of the nation's political and economic institutions. But here's the thing: it's not a coincidence. In fact, it's a textbook case of a country electing a leftwing populist who undoes years of pro-market reforms, and ends up destroying the economy.Party Above Country Yo Democrats, your words and actions don't show that you're putting country above party either.
Then again, recklessly throwing around words like "impeachable" and "treason" before the evidence exists to level those consequential charges also puts party over country. Hysteria also erodes trust in our institutions for nothing more than political gain. You will, for instance, have to read six paragraphs into Reuters' recent highly shared scoop headlined "Exclusive: Trump campaign had at least 18 undisclosed contacts with Russians: sources" to learn that "people who described the contacts to Reuters said they had seen no evidence of wrongdoing or collusion between the campaign and Russia in the communications reviewed so far." Talk about burying your lead.Orax Pretty good retro album.
The authors begin, "Anatomical penises may exist," but the "conceptual penis is better understood not as an anatomical organ but as a social construct." It goes downhill from there. "There are many women who have penises," they boldly claim. Then, they gratuitously listed some crude synonyms for the penis, such as: "beaver basher," "custard launcher," "pork sword," and "mayo shooting hotdog gun." They explained that "manspreading" - when a man sits with his legs open - is "akin to raping the empty space around him." At this point, it is worth stopping to ponder that this didn't raise any red flags with the editors of the journal. Not only did they think this was perfectly intellectual, publishable material, they praised the authors for their work.

poor guy got rescued by a lady, only to have her wind up in the hospital in such a fashion that she will never be coming home, less than a year later.
so far so good, the house lions haven't been aggressive or anything, but he's hunkered down in his fort under the foot stool in the front room, having circled the house a few times.
we'll see if he ate his hand delivered dinner. he wasn't sure about the fresh catnip offering either.

This already damning characterization of our hoax understates our paper's lack of fitness for academic publication by orders of magnitude. We didn't try to make the paper coherent; instead, we stuffed it full of jargon (like "discursive"¯ and "isomorphism"¯), nonsense (like arguing that hypermasculine men are both inside and outside of certain discourses at the same time), red-flag phrases (like "pre-post-patriarchal society"¯), lewd references to slang terms for the penis, insulting phrasing regarding men (including referring to some men who choose not to have children as being "unable to coerce a mate"¯), and allusions to rape (we stated that "manspreading", a complaint levied against men for sitting with their legs spread wide, is "akin to raping the empty space around him"¯). After completing the paper, we read it carefully to ensure it didn't say anything meaningful, and as neither one of us could determine what it is actually about, we deemed it a success....

Go to Crazy Crow Trading. Look for Clip Point Throwing Knife Large. Of the throwing knives I have tried, this works best. Length and balance are important, this knife works best for me in these regards.
At first it feels that you will never be able to gain any skill, but practice quickly brings you up to a respectable level.

I am possibly the one to ask. It would depend on the job. I interviewed for a Quality Supervisor job and put on a suit and tie out of habit. Then when I was going back over everything in the email saw the line "Casual Business attire- no suits" and quickly had to take of the jacket.
Got the job, but sheesh.

Tell him to shave if he wants a job. (I say this as a guy that hasn't shaved in almost 2 years, and I turning 50 in a couple hours! )
He should wear a buttoned down shirt, tucked in for any interview, and then find out what the job''s dress code is. Only then can he stop shaving & untucking his t-shirt

My sister in law was telling me that a friend of hers has a married daughter who lives in San Francisco.

Apparently in San Francisco even married people have to have roommates, and that is in lousy apartments.

Well I almost croaked over dinner. Nice meal of salad (homegrown in my case), baked tater and steak and mushrooms.
Partway thru I realized my throat is clogged. Tried to wah it down and then threw up water, till I could finally get it washed down.
I've got a narrowing throat, once had it expanded. Must be genetic tendency, as my Mom had it too.
If you have it get it addressed, as it get's harder to correct as you get older.
I thought I was gonna have to go to the ER, but eventually water got it down. It's usually stuck so far down I'd rather try to swallow it that go the Heilich route, maybe I'm wrong on that. Twas scary.
I think the contributing factor was I'd taken tramadol for my back pain and been drinking wine. Suspect that mat have contributed to the throat muscles not working as well, plus me not chewing the steak enough as it was just so damn delicious!
So I'll be around longer to annoy all you all.

Here is a short video of the launch. I don't know why it has no sound:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3hNeRskOrU
That was nearly 60 years to the day that the first R-7 ICBM was launched on May 15, 1957. A few months later it launched Sputnik 1, the world's first satellite. Today's Soyuz is a direct descendant of the R-7.
http://preview.tinyurl.com/k7zrx5z
I've read that it has had over 1900 launches, making it far and away the most successful and long-lived orbital rocket. It has launched all manner of military and civilian satellites, planetary probes, and manned spacecraft. American astronauts fly on it today.
It is like the DC-3 or B-52 of the rocket world. The original designers and engineers are long dead, but it keeps on flying.

It probably costs more to pay a halfway competent stadium organist than to play prerecorded earshredding stuff. I had a friend back in the day who was working on his MMA (Master of Musical Arts, a performance rather than a musicology degree) in organ, and he said his secret ambition was to be the stadium organist for the Minnesota Twins. He was from North Dakota, so the Twins were the closest MLB team to his home town.

I just heard something awful. It was a Publix ad, showing some elderly couple dancing. The were some guy singing, in a slow, mournful and weepy fashion the lyrics of "Safety Dance".
You know, "We can dance if want to, we can leave your friends behind. 'Cause your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance, then they're no friends of mine."
It was terrible.

While I liked the lead woman and Danny McBride's character well enough, the ensemble cast was pretty forgettable. In "Aliens" they may have been sketchily drawn stereotypes, but they were engaging and you cared what happened to them. Here, not so much.

With hindsight of course:
1) They should have pulled all the marines back when they realized they could not use projectile weapons inside the reactor at the beginning. Either rearm with shotguns (some projectile that would not damage the reactor) or flame units. Going in there unarmed is just idiotic.
2) Given how Ripley knew that the Xenomorphs love crawling through ducts from the first movie, they should have either camped out in the APC in the middle of that world's equivalent of a big field or found a room without a frickin drop ceiling to hold up in.

That's an excellent question.
The first generation of ICBMs, the Russian R-7 and the American Atlas, were liquid-fueled, but it soon became apparent that they weren't suitable for the role. They required too much rime for fueling and were sitting ducks on the pad.
For ICBMs, solid-fueled rockets are much more practical. They can be stored indefinitely, and when the time comes, just light 'em up and off they go.

Stereotypes? Hmmmm... interesting point. Maybe. One thing is for sure, writing and directing characters that are "sketchily drawn" is a genuine art in itself. "Aliens", like it's predecessor does this magnificently. You don't need a ton of blabber to bring a character to life, in films like this, it's better that you keep it to a minimum. You can present real characters that you *get*, by means of a good script, good casting and acting character interaction etc ... without much palaver. What's important is not what do we know about them, but what do we NEED to know about them.
My only complaint is that Wierzbowski and Crowe didn't get any time... but, whatever.

On the other hand, I remembered something Rush was going on about a week or so ago, and found some articles about it: Millennial women dating older men, twice their age plus.
The trouble is that Millennial men, if you can call them that, are just so damned awful.
Me, the young ones are nice to look at, and have dirty horn dog thoughts about, but that's it. I don't think I could carry on a conversation with a woman younger than 35 for more than 5 minutes.

I second your comment. But then soon I will go to bed and cuddle up with my Missus mingo of 47 years. She understands me more than I understand me. That is the joyful benefit of a long relationship. When we married I told her that I get to die first. I remind her frequently. I get to die first.

Once night, when he had had a bit too much to drink, he told a story about picking up a stripper in a local club.
The next morning he attempted conversation with her over breakfast and realized that his potted plants had higher IQs.

I worked with the most beautiful girl/woman I'd ever seen. She exceeded perfection in every way - from the ground up. Her body contained most of the estrogen in the tri-county area. Sexy beyond belief. Had to ask -- would she go out with me -- she said she would. She is laying next me now - forty five years later. As sweet as she is beautiful.

The mid-sized city nearly adjacent to me elected a mayor named Hicks-Hudson. And I keep asking people, do you realize your mayor is named after two crewmen from Alien? And it doesn't seem to faze them a bit.
Their last mayor drove out to see how the snow removal was going, and dropped dead. Also, they poisoned their water. So there is that.

Sounds a bit like my ER experience in January. Mine was with supplements. They seemed to go down okay then everything locked up. I could breathe but couldn't get anything liquid down. Finally called EMTs who couldn't do much. Muscle relaxers in the ER didn't help. They finally put me out and did an endoscopy to clear it out. I still don't know what caused it.

The first season was beautifully shot. It is essentially a murder mystery set on an island in Norway (really far north, based on a real town.) It goes a bit sideways (not necessarily in a bad way) towards the end of the season, but it is interesting.
Just finishing up the first ep of the second season. Still pissed they killed that dog. Dennis Quaid was added to the cast. They also mention lutefisk and a newcomer eats some with predictable results.

The late Richrd John Neuhaus who was a liberal Canadian Lutheran minister before he became a conservative American Catholic priest, wrote that the churches in Quebec practically emptied overnight in the '60's.
It's weird, the sudden desertion. I read that the people of Quebec were horrified by the French Revolution - they preferred the Brits to what they considered the wicked, godless Revolutionaries. DeTocqueville contrasted the godly Quebecois with the dissolute French he saw in New Orleans.
And then, poof, that culture vanished in the '60's.

You said she was cheated on by her ex. Everyone carries all their relationship baggage everywhere- so this is probably a LOT of it. If there was a separation of living space in her previous relationship (they were living apart for whatever reason, she comes over, catches him in bed with another woman), that probably explains it.

Also a Golden Boy .22 Today I took the old truck out for a spin and a Pietta Navy .36 Revolver to the range, I know it's not a "real" self-defense weapon but I sure as HELL would not want to be on the receiving end of it. I load it up carefully and then test it now and then. I'm not Wyatt Earp, it's been a few years. All six went BOOM!! lots of smoke and fire. Everybody always looks "What the hell was that!?" Black Powder is the best. Goex, none of that foo foo shit.
Fricking generator light went on in the truck as it was getting dark. Had to drive about 10 miles on battery power alone, good thing it was charged up.

Actually I have.
What is curious to me is that those of French descent have stuck together in enclaves long after the Louisiana Purchase took place.
The places on the Mississippi that were simply French trading outposts with little settlement soon lost any French character they had. Louisiana and Quebec remained French strongholds.

I heard the knocking. I tried to open the door. I tugged, and pulled, and pried, and grunted and strained, but the door was jambed shut. I yelled through it: Don't go away! I'm trying to open it!
Nothing different today from the past several thousand days except the weakening of my strength to endure it.

I don't know what's right. I just know how it is isn't.

From wiki:
James T. Kirk
James Tiberius "Jim" Kirk is a fictional character in the Star Trek franchise.
And:
""Where No Man Has Gone Before" is the second pilot episode of the American science fiction television series Star Trek. .... Kirk's middle initial in the episode is given as "R." in "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and is seen clearly on the gravestone fashioned by Mitchell for Kirk; subsequent episodes use "James T. Kirk". His middle name was revealed to be "Tiberius" in "Bem", an episode from the animated series, and in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Various suggestions have been made to explain this discrepancy; Michael Jan Friedman's My Brother's Keeper trilogy speculates this results from an in-joke between Mitchell and Kirk.[11] Roddenberry cited human error on Mitchell's part."
Thus, the "R." was actually just a mistake. It's only confusing because the mistake happened on the very first episode with the character. Ever since, it has always been Tiberius, and was always intended to be.

I have tried sci - fi and Fantasy over the years. So many of my friends (mostly the engineer types I would generalize) enjoy it. But it just isn't where my mind goes. I suck at visualization also , so there is that.I like a good puzzle -- story -- detective type thing to relax I guess. I don't know the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes specifically, but I think I have watched almost all the Sherlocks. I will look it up.The other night -- on Netflix -- on the new releases there a new season of a Sherlock. It was pretty good -- weird, but good.

However, it was not the first episode of the series, but the 3rd in sequence. The first episode was "The Man Trap", the one with the salt vampire woman, and the second was "Charlie X".
And you can thank Lucy, Lucille Ball, for getting Star Trek picked up. She was the one who persuaded NBC to consider the second
Lucy also rescued Mannix. The first season didn't get so well, and she retooled it.
Lucy was a smart cookie. She knew good TV.

drinking, but I feel like I've been missing out for the last 30 years.
---
since most of the women i've known over they years were interested in having sex with everyone and anyone other than me, drinking was a good substitute.
it also eliminated the sting of the "really nice guy" speech" i heard so often in my allegedly "prime years".
not to mention being a much more reliable outcome, with a smaller price tag.
and no risk of STDs outside of callouses.

The first pilot was a bit too out there (some might argue that it was more true to Roddenberry's vision- like the first couple of seasons of ST:TNG.) The captain was a much more conflicted guy than Kirk, so you had that going in the mix. I also think that McCoy was a definite improvement.
Also, the story was much more straightforward than what you had in the original pilot. Giant Pulsing head guys notwithstanding.

I agree with you both. The lack of left wing messaging is one of the reasons I kept getting further and further into the "period" mysteries. Increasingly though it is showing up . As a matter of fact, it is one of the reasons I haven't watched some of those on my lists, because I suspect they might be so.
The Benchley Girls and one or two others featuring women during WWII look appealing, but I really am afraid I am going to hit with the feminist thing that I haven't watched them yet. Maybe I am wrong.

The story about the rejection of "The Cage" is that NBC was promised "Wagon Train in space", but what they got was too cerebral.
Also, they didn't like "Number 1", the female second-in-command, played by Majel Barrett. She was the genesis of the later Spock role. Cool and logical. They took that further and put it in the Spock character later.
Spock was in the Cage, but he was a far different character.

Interesting. I thought that as well. At first, I had to be sold on Dennis Quaid. After that it just seemed to move quicker. Guess they tweaked it. Also the first season for me was kind of jarring and I was a little on the fence. By the time season 2 perhaps I was more receptive.

He listed himself as atheist and progressive. She flat-out told him she went out with him even though. She liked him well enough, but, well, you know. You can't really compromise.
At first she was all like, dating is hard to get back into. Then later she got all seriously discouraged.
I told her, yes, just like the poor

This is daughter's marriage example. I thought he was just kind-of beta male, but not a bad dude. Beware the actually schizophrenic - they can fool you.
He would have a big fight with Daughter, and run off to his parents. Then he would come back and lament to us all that his parents were crazy. Then he would run back to mommy. Domineering Mom won out and he ran out on Daughter.
His parents ended up fleeing town after an embezzlement scandal. Daughter's pregnancy failed. Awful in the max, but good to not be tied to those in-laws. Life is a mixed bag.
I consider myself a fairly good judge of personalities, but his split psyche had me fooled for a long time.

When I turned 40, I had to give up drinking beer -- and I love a good dark beer. For some reason, once I hit 40, one damn beer made me very uncomfortable, like I was a blimp about to explode. Quite disheartening. I now stick to non-carbonated alcoholic drinks.
Just the other week, I retested myself. About two years ago I made a shrimp boil for shrimp cocktail. Shrimp boil requires beer so I bought a 6-pack of Beck's Dark. Only used 5 beers for the boil which left one lonely bottle in my fridge since. So about two weeks ago, I decided to get rid of that bottle. I put a mug in the freezer to get it ice cold then poured the Beck's into it. The first gulp was sublime, absolutely delicious. But by the time I finished that mug of beer, I was feeling bloated and like I was about to explode. The feeling didn't go away until hours later.
Now that's pain.
