The Morning Rant
"Today is the anniversary of an event that changed America forever, one that we'll be talking about for a long time: One year ago today, Hillary Clinton was unceremoniously tossed into the back of an SUV like a sack of fertilizer, and that pretty much ended her presidential campaign right there. And she lost a shoe."

This. Is CNN:
CNN has dismantled its vaunted Trump-colluded-with-the-Russians investigative unit in a wretched concession to reality. The only thing the unit found was an empty well for stories, surrounded by a crust of fake news. The whole caper damaged the network's credibility, and the public just wasn't buying it anymore. So the whole unit had to go.I am reminded of Geraldo Rivera's big "opening Al Capone's vault" debacle where he goosed expectations up sky high and then ended up eating a big bag of

Also I think Scankles had lost that election long before being tossed in that van. All of those polls showing her miles ahead were BS ginned up by liberal outfits. And she would not have won the popular vote if you threw out all the vote fraud from those inner city Democrat strongholds.

Two weeks after Harvey hit, my island closest to where the eye made landfall now has most of the electricity back. Schools will be closed indefinitely though.
A friend of mine was talking to a man working at her damaged condo. He said all his clothes were gone, but it was ok because he had found some in his dryer that had floated down the street. She went to the mainland and bought him a bunch of clothes.
I donated my washer and dryer to the community because we won't be needing it for a long time.

Pray for the Poles, Hungarians, and all the others trying to keep their own nations. 9/11 has a long history.
A really weird current 'scandal' is the Muslims in Myanmar (Burma). Odd 'conservatives' are writing in support of these invaders. So I don't know the international politics (although I have a good guess), but in honor of 9/11, appropriate.

Copied over from dead thread:
Yes, it is Elton John - he owns over *2,000* 9/11 photos including Drew's famous Falling Man:"
He also collects themed photography series including portraits of Chet
Baker, Igor Stravinsky, Francis Bacon and Salvador Dali. He owns the
biggest collection of 9/11 photographs in the world, some 2,000 in all,
ranging from images made by amateur snappers on the ground to work by
Magnum photojournalists.
"I have The Falling Man, [by Richard Drew]," he says, quietly. "It is one of the most
beautiful and powerful and upsetting images ever. One side of the
building in darkness, one side in light and this man falling in that
perfect straight line, head first, out of the tower. It is the most
beautiful photograph of the most painful, horrible thing. This is the
power of photography, the dichotomy between tragedy and beauty. It makes
you think about the thin line between death and life."

"Don't fire ants like to eat through the power cables?"
I worked in a building once where fire ants did $15,000 worth of damage to the HVAC system. Little buggers jammed their bodies into the electrical contacts (attracts them for some reason) until they shorted it out and the whole thing caught fire.
yeah, i guess they were the REAL fire ants.

Fire ants are attracted to electrical equipment. Hell, I've had to clean them out many times. The worse is when the well pump stops, and it's fire ants have swarmed the pressure switch and blocked the contacts.
The question is if they are actually attracted to electric fields or is it something secondary. I've read evidence for the former, and then stuff that no, it's the following:
The ants go everywhere during normal foraging. One ant gets shocked and dies, and when they do, they release an attraction chemical that attracts other ants. This is how ants mark food supplies. One ant finds the mother lode and signals his buddies. You then get a massive ant trail, as you've probably seen.

Posted by: Roy at September 11, 2017 11:44 AM (7n4KQ)
Moving power lines underground in urban areas is cost prohibitive. It simply will not be done. And the last numbers I saw for rural areas was $1M per mile. You can do it in new neighborhoods just being built a lot cheaper and power companies are doing that, but the feeder lines going to the neighborhood are above ground.
And besides all that, unless you made the distribution transformers in the neighborhood waterproof it would not do any good anyway.

Sitting here waiting for the wind and rain to get serious...later this afternoon, I expect. Generator is checked and ready. Got water and other necessities on hand and hopefully, I won't have to get out the chainsaw.
Wife has decided we need to clean out and inventory the safe and ammo storage closet. Well, nothing better to do today.
Speaking of which, got me a new addition to our arsenal Saturday. Got me a Glock 26. It's smaller and lighter than my old reliable SW Model 5906. I hope the new pistol is as good as the old one. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet with the weather.
Prayers go out to all the ladies and germs in the path of the storm.

The Katy Independent School District dedicated its new Legacy Stadium, anew mega-facility that ranks as the most expensive high school football stadium in the country.
With
a price tag of just over $70 million, it seats 12,000 people and has a
two-story field house. The video replay board cost $2 million.

Speaking of which, got me a new addition to our arsenal Saturday. Got me a Glock 26. It's smaller and lighter than my old reliable SW Model 5906. I hope the new pistol is as good as the old one. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet with the weather.

At distribution voltages, it can be done, but it's still pretty expensive.
At transmission voltages, really high 100KV - 1MV range, it's cost prohibitive.
Air makes a pretty good insulator. We're all used to low voltages. At high voltages, things get crazy. Terminations and splices are a whole different ballgame. You know the "sharp point" effect. E field gets high at sharp corners and will break down insulation there easily first.
Even in air, above 1MV, you'll get lightning-like breakdown. Local E field gets high enough, ionized air and a little stepped leader can form, worming its way to ground.
It gets very expensive to put HV under ground.

Fire ants got into my little brother's storage shed at his lake house. he went to turn on the light to open the drop door to get his lawn mower out and the light switch didn't work. He flipped it on and off a few times and the ants came boiling out. We had to go down to the hardware store and buy new switch internals.

Pray for the Poles, Hungarians, and all the others trying to keep their own nations. 9/11 has a long history.
-----
Yes it does. There was 9/11/1683, the relief of the Siege of Vienna. There was also 9/11/1565, when the Ottomans were driven back from the Siege of Malta. Other significant 9/11s in the long war between islam and The West are 9/11/1877, when the Russians lost the Battle of Plevna, but went on to win that Russo-Turkish war & drive the Ottomans out of all of Europe except for Thrace. Just a few days shy was the great fire of Smyrna in 1922 when the Turks set fire to Smyrna, Greece & killed tens of thousands of Christians.

The Shoes on the Danube Bank are a memorial which honors the Jews who were killed by fascist Arrow Cross militiamen in Budapest during World War II. Not far from the Hungarian Parliament building sit sixty women's, men's, and children's pairs of old-fashioned shoes, the type people wore back in the 1940s.
A firing squad, members of the Arrow Cross Party, shot the prisoners at close range in the bank so that they would fall into the river to be washed away in order to avoid the work of burying the bodies later.

FWIW, every 9-11, I view a few of the tribute videos by myself. I can't really watch with others.
Two of my favorites are the Budweiser Clydesdales, and another one called "I Believe".
The following does emphatically NOT refer to any morons or 'ettes, but is more directed as a general comment toward the broader US citizenry.
For me, the attack on the Cole was enough of a wake up call. I had hopes that 9-11 would wake all but the most dedicated anti-Americans.
Sadly, many seem to have forgotten, and too many are too busy indulging microaggressions to probably even think of 9-11, let alone shed a tear or even have a quiet, respectful moment.
The knowledge of that pathetic legacy, in a way, is almost as sad as what happened that day.

If that new stadium is like the new Jr High they built here the person who owned the property is the one who made out. Especially since it is built in the worst possible location. It is impossible for anyone to walk to the school so it has made a huge traffic mess there.
It is located about 5 miles out of town next to a major 4 lane highway.

There's a new movie called 9/11 with Charlie Sheen about people trapped in an elevator in one of the Towers.
I don't know any of the plot details but it appears loosely based on Dean Eberling and others. Dean was a mild-mannered securities analyst who, along with another guy, managed to pry open the elevator doors enough so that the two women escaped.
"Even amid the chaos, Mr. Eberling managed a laugh. "When Ms. Smith first threw her bag out of the elevator before sliding out, ''He yelled at me: 'Do you really need that?' '' she recalls."
Dean and the other guy didn't make it.

just normal ants like to crawl up in the phone pedestals also, and causes static at first, till one can barely hear. I think they try to put sand at the base, which is harder for ants to tunnel through.

Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on how you look at it, we are very highly unlikely to have looters in our neighborhood. Its rural and all of our neighbors are armed too. Plus our Sheriff's department is very pro second amendment. Its not uncommon to run into the Sheriff or one of his Deputies in the local gun shop or out at the local gun range.
The last time I was out at the range, the two Deputies who showed up didn't raise an eyebrow at my arsenal of weaponry I had brought with me.

2. Kill it
3. Gut it
4. Wear its carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect.

"If he is a good pro-life believer he must understand that family is the cradle of life and one must defend its unity," Francis said during an in-flight press conference en route home from Colombia.
Francis said he hadn't read up on Trump's decision to phase out the Deferred Action for Children Program, which allows some immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children to stay. About 800,000 people are affected by Trump's decision to give Congress six months to end their limbo status.

>>Why doesn't he just make it official and go Dem.
Remember Arlen Specter's pathetic late-in-life switch to cling to power?
John McCain isn't a "maverick" unless he's stabbing his own party in the back, so his ego needs to be a Republican who's smarter/different from all of the other Republicans (except Dear Lindsay). And the Dems find him more useful as a maverick than just another Dem Senator. They'd treat him like less than dirt for the *less useful* traitor he is should he switch parties.

"Francis said he hadn't read up on Trump's decision to phase out the Deferred Action for Children Program, which allows some immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children to stay. About 800,000 people are affected by Trump's decision to give Congress six months to end their limbo status. "

We need a Dreamer 3/5ths Compromise, wherein we establish that each Dreamer is 3/5 naturalized, but the 2/5ths that is not must be returned to its home nation.
Two arms counts as 2/5ths, and will probably be the most popular configuration. A head and a leg--less likely to get much traction--also counts as 2/5ths.

Instapundit had an observation about 9/11 that I totally agree with, which is-
immediately after 9/11 the one thing I never thought would happen is that America would elect a feckless leftist as president, who would proceed to flush away America's position in the world and security over eight years,
as America stood around and let him.
I've often thought the same or similar things.
Why was America in such a hurry to elect a guy with the name, Barack Hussein Obama, cuz that's really all they knew about him.
We, as a nation, literally elected a guy with no accomplishments in gov't, business, the military, anywhere at anything.
The Left had suffered lots of setback in the proceeding years.
The collapse of the Soviet Union proved that socialism/communism was a failed system.
The Clinton sex scandals proved that feminism was a cynical scam to gull the weak-minded.
Then, 9/11 happened.
I think at that point the Left broke. Pretty much every single thing they believed was proven with blood and fire to be completely false,
and they couldn't take it.
They could no longer handle reality. Everything they had been told made them "good people" becuz they believed it, was a lie.
At that point, you can do one of two things:
1) Reassess your beliefs and change them
or
2) Double down on the fantasy
Obviously, as a group, they chose #2.
Or rather, I think, the smart people who finance and reap money from the left, realized that this was a good way to maintain control and money flow.
America was the problem. Not islam. And look! See we elected a guy with a muslim name to "fundamentally change America".
And with each step, they took America farther into fantasyland, where anything was true but reality.
Hey that socialism stuff works!!! And if you don't agree, we'll beat you up.
Men can become women and women can become men and both can become pretty pretty ponies!!!
The solar cycles have nothing to do with weather on Earth. It's all stuff man does like barbecuing steaks! Yeah, mostly bbq and driving cars. Oh, and air conditioning. And industry. But, not the sun.
And even after 8 years of "there there here's you binky" politics for the left, they as people are still broken.
And that's why we have the NeverTrump insanity -
they were all set to make Their Fantasy the law of the land with the full majesty of the US law-enforcement behind it.
But then.....Trump.
But everything- Antifa, everything I now believe flows from 9/11-
the day reality broke the Leftists' minds.
I know TL?DR, but I've been thinking a lot about this lately cuz-
I don't know how we find our way back cuz it seems we are dealing with a mass hysteria and functional insanity in large groups of people.
And we absolutely cannot give the Left the Power Binky, which they so crave. To do so would destroy our future and the future of our children and grandchildren.
It is a quandary.

The Donks may love watching McPlanecrash stab conservatives in the back, but he's still beneath them, and could never be "one of them" in the deepest sense. They tolerate him because he's useful, but they'd still never accept him as one of them. If he changed parties, they'd still see him as dirt beneath their shoes (which, of course, he is).

Yeah, if you make something smart enough to 'be human",
why in the world would you expect them to be content to be your slave?
It's a problem with the whole genre.
And being a sexbot has to seem completely stupid to a machine.
No point at all beyond letting the human have an orgasm.

naturalfake, this is why I refer to a dumbed-down, or degraded, country so often.
The absurdity of an Obama didn't just happen, he was swept into office - and he got re-elected. There is an obsession with Soros and other boogie men, but not a single pernicious thing that's happened since 9/11 was possible without the support, or indulgence, of the American people.
Even the judiciary spinning out into ludicrous and undisguised lawlessness - i.e., institutional collapse - is ultimately the fault of the people, if they don't act to fix it. Which they're not doing.
Soros and "the left" and all this is distraction or nonsense. It's the people around you/us that allow this all to happen. At least a working plurality, nationally.

228 immediately after 9/11 the one thing I never thought would happen is
that America would elect a feckless leftist as president, who would
proceed to flush away America's position in the world and security over
eight years,
as America stood around and let him.

That is what elected Obama. A combination of yellow dog Democrats and the FSA. And the MFM being in his pocket did not help any.

"I have The Falling Man, [by Richard Drew]," he says, quietly. "It is one of the most
beautiful and powerful and upsetting images ever. One side of the
building in darkness, one side in light and this man falling in that
perfect straight line, head first, out of the tower. It is the most
beautiful photograph of the most painful, horrible thing. This is the
power of photography, the dichotomy between tragedy and beauty. It makes
you think about the thin line between death and life."
And not a single word about the Muslim scum who forced the Falling Man to his death?

That Love Finds a Home image brings up an important debate to me: how is that word spelled? I don't mean home I mean 'girl who sluts around' in slang. Is it Ho or Hoe? I don't like Hoe because its the same thing as a garden implement. Ho is good for shorte for "whore" because its a few letters off. Hoe makes no sense, its not spelled "whoere."
Yes, the plural should be Hoes, because that's basic English, but Ho is the singular. Plus, it would save juvenile and idiotic snickering every time someone sees a garden implement store or ad. Hee hee hee they sell hoes!

with a mass hysteria and functional insanity in large groups of people.

Interesting thoughts. I have been thinking a LOT about this myself.
I think at some point, some way we have to disconnect these lunatics from the idea that they just have a "different political ideology".
They are mentally and emotionally unstable children who have never been told "No" . They see the universe only in terms of their own tiny life-spans. They don't recognize the existence of facts or reality that contradicts their worldview.
And their only coping mechanism is hysteria, spittle-flecked rage and mob violence. All justified in their tiny heads by their current "feelings".

The night of the 1977 Blackout, my dad, my sister and I were at the bandshell at Lincoln Center for a concert. The entire audience really didn't know that there was a blackout at first as the orchestra kept playing when the lights went out. Everybody thought it was part of the show. When we figured out that the entire city was dark and we'd have to get home, we walked to my dad's van in the dark and random passersby actually lit the way with flashlights for us here and there. Somebody even threw light on the van door so my dad could get us in. This happened close to those projects behind Lincoln Center. Today you could not pay me to park in that neighborhood.

More from the pope:
"Those who deny this must go to the scientists and ask them. They speak very clearly," he said, referring to experts who blame global warming on man-made activities.
Francis said scientists have also clearly charted what needed to be done to reverse course on global warming and said individuals and politicians had a "moral responsibility" to do their part.
"These aren't opinions pulled out of thin air. They are very clear," he said. "Then they (leaders) decide and history will judge those decisions."
History will decide. He is right in that sense.

I hope he does. Clooney doesn't get any of the blue-collar vote in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania that went over to Trump. He also doesn't get the black vote that sat on the sidelines.
I'm sure that Clooney can give a speech like Obama could give a speech (it's all acting, after all), but if you actually put him in a position where he's not scripted, I see him folding like a cheap suit.
Hollywood is the most liberal area of the country. Clooney has literally never had to engage with someone whose opinions he disagrees with. How's that going to look when up on a debate stage with Trump?

We are supposed to feel guilty about 9/11 doncha know?
We are not inclusive enough, and only open borders and being submissives that acknowledge white privilege will fix it.
Meanwhile, while that drama plays out, the globalist elite are "electing a new people" (that will vote Democrat for life) by opening our borders to the third world, and denying radical Islam even exists.
Somehow their narrative dominated over the obvious "radical Islam" nose on our NYC face. Then came Trump, so "they" are now working to defeat him from withing ... and all over media of course.

And interestingly when the concern was cooling, the answer, giving more power and money to the people preaching doomsday was the same.
If the facts don't match the theory, you dump the theory. That is science.

I hope he does. Clooney doesn't get any of the blue-collar vote in
Wisconsin and Pennsylvania that went over to Trump. He also doesn't get
the black vote that sat on the sidelines.
---
So, the other evening, I had the most unexpected conversation with one of the contract labor guys I work with at the crappy part time job.
Co-worker is hispanic, either upper lower class or lower middle class. For some reason, we start talking about Trump, and he supports him. I'm shocked. Then, and one point, he blames me for electing Obama. I laugh and say no way I didn't vote for him either time. He didn't either.
Then... it gets even better. He's totally hip on Islam, and we talked about the Muslim Mayor of London.
All of this made me feel really good. This is a guy that should NOT know any of these things, since he's a working class hispanic.
Add in the black guys I work with who don't like Muslims either and well, it makes you go "hmmmm..."

The absurdity of an Obama didn't just happen, he was swept into office - and he got re-elected. There is an obsession with Soros and other boogie men, but not a single pernicious thing that's happened since 9/11 was possible without the support, or indulgence, of the American people.
Even the judiciary spinning out into ludicrous and undisguised lawlessness - i.e., institutional collapse - is ultimately the fault of the people, if they don't act to fix it. Which they're not doing.
Soros and "the left" and all this is distraction or nonsense. It's the people around you/us that allow this all to happen. At least a working plurality, nationally.

What you say is true, but overlooks the critical role of the MSM in misinforming people. We pay attention to current events. Most people do not, and get their take-away from the MSM.
Now the electorate should pay more attention to current events, but we've expanded the franchise far beyond the demographics with the intelligence to do so.

They could no longer handle reality. Everything they had been told made them "good people" becuz they believed it, was a lie. At that point, you can do one of two things:
1) Reassess your beliefs and change them or
2) Double down on the fantasy
Obviously, as a group, they chose #2.
I have come to love the #1s so much. Dennis Miller, etc. Much easier to deftly fight a cult of feels when you were once a part of it.

Why was America in such a hurry to elect a guy with the name, Barack
Hussein Obama, cuz that's really all they knew about him.: naturalfake

There is a post by me long long ago on AoS saying something to the effect of, the American people aren't going to elect a failed state senator with the name of Hussein a mere 7 years after the worst terror attack in human history.
And I was...wrong. Somehow the Republican Party found a man that could lose that election.
Of course the real fault is with Bush 43. If he had handled 9/11 like FDR had handled Pearl Harbor things likely would have been very different.

Relay inside the condenser units up on the roof were getting jammed by the bodies of ants which would congregate around the electric contacts of the main relay.
I had that happen when I lived in Orlando, but just with a normal unit on the ground. They ended up hotwiring it in some way that worked to cool the house but wasn't as efficient until they could schedule a complete replacement.

Am I refusing to listen to data and analysis because I don't like the conclusions?

I'm sure that Clooney can give a speech like Obama could give a speech (it's all acting, after all), but if you actually put him in a position where he's not scripted, I see him folding like a cheap suit.
Hollywood is the most liberal area of the country. Clooney has literally never had to engage with someone whose opinions he disagrees with. How's that going to look when up on a debate stage with Trump?

A mass virtue-signal, if you will. They assumed he would return the favor and speed up the racial healing of the nation, but he turned out to be the most divisive president ever.
Nobody says so, and it appears that the dems would love to get an Obama 2.0 running, but I believe the majority of whites would think twice next time before choosing a black candidate, on the basis of, is this person going to unite us or are we going to get another Scolder-in-Chief on how racist we still are?

So if Global Warming does not actually conform to the models, isn't it safe to say that Global Warming is a faith based belief?
Which the smart kids tell me is really just a denial of science.

"After all, mankind is part of the natural world and that our actions have an impact on the dynamic system that is the natural order makes sense."
"A typical hurricane generates about 200 times the total electrical generating capacity on the planet. NASA says that "during its life cycle a hurricane can expend as much energy as 10,000 nuclear bombs!" And we're just talking about average hurricanes here, not Katrina."
We're a rounding error in our effect on big macro things on the planet. We can do bad things with pollution, which is rife in places like China. But that gets ignored with our focus on CAGW.

One of my Last details was for Hillary when she was Secretary of State.
She was in Turkey for whatever reason. I helped with sweeps of her DV
Quarters and staff vehicles. Her words to me? "Get that Fucking dog away
from me." Then she turns to her Security Detail and berates them up and
down about why that animal was in her quarters. For the next 20 minutes
while I sit there waiting to be released she lays into her detail,
slamming the door in their faces when she's done. The Detail lead walks
over apologizes and releases me. I apologize to him for getting him in
trouble. His words "Happens every day, Brother."

I said at the time that invading Iraq would lead to its break-up into three parts, create a power vacuum, and embolden Iran.
But that wasn't a natural result of the invasion. It was a result of American people turning on the effort and betraying the soldiers and all they accomplished. It was a result of leftist treason undermining the war and rebuilding.

"I said at the time that invading Iraq would lead to its break-up into three parts, create a power vacuum, and embolden Iran."
None of which was likely, much less inevitable, if properly handled. Which it was, with major avoidable mistakes, up til the whole thing was abandoned by you know who (to the silence and indifference of the public, too busy with their NFL fantasy leagues and crappy movies, or something, to care).
Which has just been confirmed, spectacularly, with how easily the situation was turned around WRT ISIS (with de minimis resources from us). The power vacuum was the US policy starting in 2009, magnified by the insane Iran policy.
Top-ranking Saudi officials weren't making secret trips to *Israel* before Obama's insane Iran policy. There's a clue there as to what, and when, the serious problems were.
But to tie the themes here together in the most invidious yet sadly correct way, BDS over Iraq was exactly the same phenomenon as Obama being a candidate for prez, it just infected more people, including many who were appalled by Obama's candidacy.

Do you support the war on cigarettes? Similar evidence to Human Caused Climate Change theory. How about the first ban on freon? Funny how they found a good freon that supposedly differs from that bad freon.
Gotta disagree on both counts. Cigarette smoking is most definitely linked with lung cancer, starting with the epidemiological work of Doll et al. in the 1950s. Totally different from the AGW crap, which is based on models, not hard data.
Re freons, the original ones were chlorofluorocarbons. In the upper atmosphere they decomposed to release chlorine atoms, which catalyze the disproportionation of two molecules of ozone to three molecules of oxygen through the intermediacy of chlorine monoxide:
O3 + Cl. --> O2 + ClO
ClO + O3 --> 2 O2 + Cl.
Later generations of freons contain only fluorine, and not chlorine, and consequently are not a problem.

Can we disregard the growing phenomenon of "environmental refugees", people who are forced by the degradation of their natural habitat to forsake it - and often their possessions as well - in order to face the dangers and uncertainties of forced displacement?

I've been pondering whether or not I am wrong about
being so skeptical of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming. After
all, I snark and eyeroll about how those who believe in it do so with
religious fervor and make their position unfalsifiable. Well, am I
doing that as well, just from the opposite position? Am I refusing to
listen to data and analysis because I don't like the conclusions?
After all, mankind is part of the natural world and that our actions
have an impact on the dynamic system that is the natural order makes
sense.

This is where I'm at, too.
I have no doubt that mankind has an impact on the natural balance of things; climate, ecology, etc. Organisms of all types have SOME influence on the world around them, so there's no doubt that we do, too. Climate change itself is a natural thing that has happened before and will happen again. Just ask the dinosaurs. Just ask the mastodons.
My problem w/ the AGW crowd is one of scale. My questions are always, "To what extent is mankind affecting the planet? Is it all negative? What can be done to ameliorate those negative effects? How can you prove to me that your solutions are workable and will result in the desired outcome?"
I think those are pretty basic, non-argumentative questions.
But the AGW crowd always comes back with, "HUMANITY IS KILLING MOTHER GAIA GIVE US ALL YOUR MONEY AND LIVE IN A MUD HUT AND SHIT IN COMMUNAL TOILET PITS OR WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE *jets off in private plane*"
Sorry, I don't take those hysterics seriously.

256 "I have The Falling Man, [by Richard Drew],"
In the book "The Running Man" by Richard Bachman, aka Stephen king, the running man gets smeared by the media and chased by the mob they raise up. In the end, the mob kills his wife and kid, and he crashes a plane into the media headquarters located in a skyscraper in NYC.

Actually, that more than 10 people were stupid enough to think that electing a semi-black guy would do anything positive in itself was jaw-dropping, and continues to be. Devastating confirmation that the cluelessness in the electorate extends far, far, far, far beyond the "FSA" or any other scapegoat that always votes en bloc for the usual suspects in every election.
"Oh, but what an opportunity it represented!" Every time I hear that, I know I can't possibly underestimate the cluelessness of the vast majority.

Westworld was some sort of failure, not hackers.
In the original I believe this is true. In the remake there were several competing forces changing code. The dead genius founding partner who introduced code designed to promote a general AI, this code was self changing. The living genius founding partner who wanted full control of the park in which to do as he pleased. He was obfuscating code and deleting records to hide his actions. The board of directors who were trying to wrest control of the park from the living founder were ham fistedly changing replicants to use as mules to export proprietary data from the park.
I suppose one could call the living founder and the board of directors changes "hacking".

So as I suspected CBS manipulated the color to make Bannon's eyes look red. Did anyone else notice that too?
Posted by: freaked at September 11, 2017 11:36 AM (jEC5W)

Speaking of deliberate messaging, I read where the new Star Trek
show is deliberately made to be a present-day allegory--this directly
from the producers--and that we--you and me and other conservatives and
Trump supporters--are the savage, xenophobic, warlike Klingons in this
allegory. Progressives are, of course, the enlightened Federation, which

I think I want to become a Catholic specifically to Martin Luther the "Pope".
You want to become a monk and proclaim some theological dispute? That would be drowned out by the noise and apathy that exists today.
I keep telling myself that the Church has been severely damaged by human
leadership in its past yet it survived. And we'll survive this pope
too.
How is it "leadership"? What you really are admitting is that you are capable of personally telling the difference between good theology and bad theology. And if you can do that, you have no need of suffering under a misguided, corrupt Magisterium.

She and her flunkies were so sure she was going to win. She was already interviewing potential Cabinet nominees, and picking out which drapes she'd have in her Oval Office.
Why bother to write a speech she's never going to need anyway!

I've been pondering whether or not I am wrong about
being so skeptical of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming. After all, I snark and eyeroll about how those who believe in it do so with religious fervor and make their position unfalsifiable. Well, am I doing that as well, just from the opposite position? Am I refusing to
listen to data and analysis because I don't like the conclusions?
After all, mankind is part of the natural world and that our actions have an impact on the dynamic system that is the natural order makes sense.
Then the Global Warming cultists open their yaps and start caterwauling and I realize that, nope, I'm good.

That's a healthy attitude to evince, generally speaking (i.e., to question whether one might be wrong).
I have a more fundamental objection to AGW: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and the AGW proponents won't even release their raw data, much less the data reduction algorithms, or the details of their "models."
Without that information to hand, I refuse even to consider their proposition. If I were reviewing their papers, I'd reject them out of hand for that. They're basically saying they've read the sheep's entrails, and we're doomed, without giving us the wherewithal to check their reasoning.
Hell, if you publish a X-ray crystal structure - about as hard a piece of data as you'll find - you have to deposit with the journal all the X-ray reflection data (usually 3000-5000 reflections), etc. as supplementary material, and cite the data reduction algorithms and crystallographic programs you used (these are typically standard, and so merely citing them suffices).

"The Katy Independent School District dedicated its new Legacy Stadium, a new mega-facility that ranks as the most expensive high school
football stadium in the country. With a price tag of just over $70 million, it seats 12,000 people
and has a two-story field house. The video replay board cost $2 million."
Even better than that, it appears the board of the Katy ISD signed on to the use of "capital appreciation bonds" to pay for this thing.
Wall Street has been routinely rooking financially unsophisticated municipal and county executives all over the country with these instruments.
Suffice it to say that if $70M is the nameplate price tag, capital appreciation bonds will turn the total long run cost into something closer to $200M.

Banana Splits Guy, shouldn't you be pooh-poohing something that concerns intelligent people, not digging your pope-hole deeper?
So some other pope said stupid, scientifically illiterate things. Perhaps the take-away is ..... stick to your knitting, il Papa (clue, it's not science).
Very temporary, limited impacts is all humans have the capacity to have on a tiny part of the environment. Obviously. Funny, it's statist societies that, by far, have the worst impact in this still very limited regard (Aral Sea, anyone?). But I'm sure this pope's eloquent statements against the evils of statism are just buried by the press, or something.
Blessed be the gun-makers!

Without that information to hand, I refuse even to consider their proposition. If I were reviewing their papers, I'd reject them out of hand for that.
Exactly. If their conclusions are correct, it should be not only easy, but desirable to share their work and open it to the world.

Speaking of deliberate messaging, I read where the new Star Trek
show is deliberately made to be a present-day allegory--this directly
from the producers--and that we--you and me and other conservatives and
Trump supporters--are the savage, xenophobic, warlike Klingons in this
allegory. Progressives are, of course, the enlightened Federation, which
is apparently all woke and shit.
Which is a huge fail on the part of the show creators, because the Klingons were ALWAYS more badass and impressive than the wishy-washy Federation, whose only saving graces were a rogueish Captain who liked to bed green alien women, and a perplexed half-Vulcan who acted as his foil.
I mentioned on Twitter the other day that I got into an almost-actual fight with Mr. MWR last week because he thinks Picard is a better captain that Kirk. He is wrong.
Kirk fought the Gorn captain. Picard played a flute.
Kirk got tortured by future!Nazis and destroyed their nascent government before warping off to have sex with pretty ladies. Picard got turned into a Borg.
Picard was A man. Kirk was THE man.

Star Dreck Discovery can discover an empty viewership then. Original series had a lot of allegories but the writers could write.
re: The Doomsday Machine
But they also could create comedy - The Trouble With Tribbles.
Set design for new series is too dark and does not jive with TOS design. While the uniforms are very military looking and tie more into Enterprise than TOS.
So will boldly skip the whole steaming mess of bantha podo.

shibumi,
There was a great scene in "Mad Men". It was during the first season, right after the '60 election. Cooper explained to Draper how the Kennedys stole the election with fraud in places like Chicago.
He told Draper that Nixon knew it, but didn't fight it because it would be bad to put the country to contest it.

Just glad it wasn't a lot worse although getting folks to evacuate the next time will be an increasing challenge as knuckleheads will say, "well, it didn't last time"..

For me, it's a simple case of the scientific method. Over the past 40+ years, the same people have made predictions... none of which have come true. First global cooling, then global warming, then climate change. There was talk of oceans evaporating, oceans warming, food shortages, millions of people dying, catastrophic hurricanes (remember them freaking out after Katrina and warning people the next few years would be worse and worse and stronger and more and more of them... didn't happen). Nothing has ever come to pass.
And, the entirety of their argument is that CO2 is some poison and that humans are emitting it at dangerous levels due to coal and oil and emissions, etc. that causes the planet to heat up. Yet, the planet has not heated up in over a decade.
So there is absolutely no scientific evidence behind any of their claims in the past 4 decades!
So, yeah, I laugh at anyone who pushes that nonsense.

mb or millibars is a pressure reading or we could go with inches of Mercury for equivalence. For hurricanes that is the pressure at the center of rotation which is usually called the eye of the storm.

I was at the new KISD stadium Friday evening for the Katy vs Manvel scrimmage. Over time Stadiums pay for themselves with the revenue they produce - they are a money producing asset for the school district - so I'm not very upset with that kind of spending.
There are eight schools in KISD and two stadiums - Rhodes is the older stadium and has a capacity of 10,000 - when Katy played there the stadium was often a sellout. When the 8 schools played each other with only one Stadium there was a game on Thursday, one on Friday, and two on Saturday. The new stadiums allow the district to get rid of the Saturday games.
Because of Texas law those funds couldn't have been spent on books etc - the stadium funds come out of the capital expenditures budget.

Jay gives a good example of how "AGW" is, simply, unscientific.
Science is falsifiable hypotheses being confirmed through repeatable empirical testing or its equivalent, withstanding all the "skepticism" that can be brought to bear.
Is any aspect of AGW falsifiable in any practical sense? I mean apart from the "models", which are falsified every time?
I think the kooky, actually scientifically literate folks at WUWT or some other website have offered a cash reward to anyone who can present "evidence" that all observed climate change is NOT consistent with natural phenomena, with natural variation (whose causation is of course not fully or in some cases not at all understood).
Sort of a nice concise statement of the issue.

When you try something and it doesn't work, you try something different.
Instead, these morons (looking at you Star Trek) are just screaming LOUDER. "You must not understand our message, so we're going to tell you again and again and again, until you agree, stupid rubes."

No, BSG, the take-away is to have some understanding of the overall picture, instead of an ignorant, default Kevin Bacon/Animal House instinct.
You confuse having a clue, or knowledge, or caring about important things, with "hair on fire". Just because you don't understand something, or it doesn't affect you directly, doesn't mean it's not a problem.

I think the thing that warms my heart the most about Hillaty losing the election is the fact that all the donations to the Clinton Global Initiave, her campaign, and fund raising, was just wasted. Nothing left of it, or at least no one will get anything back.

Perhaps the takeaway is to stop lighting your hair on fire or being outrageously outraged over things Popes say.
Sure, if you don't believe the Pope is a living representative of God on Earth, what the Pope says is NBD. What you don't understand, BSG, is some people, unlike yourself, actually do believe the Pope is God's representative on Earth.

I watched the Allen-Parnes duo on YouTube at some bookstore talking about 'Shattered'. Allen stated that at the beginning of the email scandal Podesta wanted to release all of Hillary's emails, as a show of openness. He added, CHUCKLING, "Good thing they didn't because they all would've been indicted!" Yeah, what a laff riot. Madcap Hillary and her wacky sidekicks got away with it! Ha ha ha!

Three questions re. AGW ....
1) What is 'normal' global climate? (Note: 'Global' includes North and South as well as East and West hemispheres.)
2) Is the current 'change' moving towards or away from 'normal'?
3) Isn't it equally likely that interfering with the 'change' will harm our move to 'normal' as it is to help?
When an AGW proponent can answer these questions then I will sit up and pay attention. Until then, meh.

Also, RE: global warming cultists...
I watch a lot of shows on the Science Channel. "Unearthed", "Mysteries of the Missing", "Mysteries of the Abandoned", "Impossible Engineering".
Just watched a show recently where they were trying to figure out "rogue waves". They admitted that they originally thought they were impossible, just a myth. Then they had proof when one was caught on video. So they did more research. Took satellite images to track rogue waves in the oceans of the planet. They were absolutely shocked with what they found. They thought rogue waves were formed once every 10,000 years. Truly a freak phenomenon. What they discovered was that they happened all the time, all over the planet.
Anyway, by the end of the show, they just flat out admit that they have no idea what causes rogue waves, have no idea how to predict them and need much more research. This kind of thing (thinking they know everything about something, yet finding out they were 100% wrong after getting scientific data) happens all the time.
Which is why the cultists are so keen on shutting down debate about this and not letting anyone investigate anymore. Nevermind that they haven't even proven their basic premise yet!
But the fact is that science is never "settled". And anyone pushing that message is not a scientist, but a propagandist and/or politician.
Heck, even Shark Week shows have shown that after research, they discover things they never thought possible or never knew existed. They flat out say that there is SO much about the oceans that they still do not understand. Well gee, if you don't understand the oceans, you can't possibly fully understand the climate of the entire earth.
But that is exactly what the cultists claim. And millions believe them. Aggravating.

No, you apparently are implying that people believe more strongly than me that the Pope is God's representative. Well, if you truly believe the Pope is God's representative than I think you would be familiar with what God's representative said and when (and which one). If you don't know, no biggie. I thought you were implying you were Catholic.

AGW is just like feminism, in this sense: a chance for people to feel good about themselves by "caring deeply about issues" while actually missing the boat on the real problems (pollution in China, actual oppression of women by Mohammedans).
I could go on, but y'all have heard it all before.

It's not an appeal to authority, I just don't get the whole 'I'm outraged by something a religious leader of a sect or denomination I don't belong to said'. Carry on with your outrage though, if it enhances your life and makes you pleasant to be around!

But it kind of calls into question what assurance there is in "Apostolic Succession". This is the only serious challenge to my own adopted Protestantism, is that by ignoring Jesus' current chosen replacement for Peter, I am spurning Jesus' church. Otherwise it sounds like it's all doctrinal difference and ultimate reliance on God's saving grace, however wide He chooses to make it.
But this is my own speculation, and nothing that I would hold Catholics to task to answer.
