This Is How The ONT Ends. Not With A Bang But With A Whimper

You may have seen the story last week. Travis Kauffman was out jogging in Colorado when he was attacked by a mountain lion. He fought back and killed the beast with his bare hands. Well, it seems that his troubles are not over. Here he is at a press conference, and by the looks of things, he's about to be attacked by a cougar.

Anyone who thinks modern women don't respond to masculinity needs to take another look at that photo.

In The Navy


The Expected Pullback from 355

Cdr salamander talks about the Navy's (expected) retreat from the goal of a 355 ship navy, and what they should do instead.

The Next Big Thing

Baseball, Cataracts and Single Payer Health Care

If you can find someone who will talk honestly about single-payer, you will usually find the pro side talking about how it's “fairer” or “cheaper” than market-based systems (I'd contest the second, but we don't really have any market-based systems to compare with) but will usually admit that the outcomes are better in our system (as I said, you have to find someone on the pro side willing to be honest, which is rarer than a hen's tooth). That's bullshit. What it's all about is, like most lefty garbage, is manufactured virtue. “Oh, look at how COMPASSIONATE I am, I want healthcare to be FREE”. In fact, isn't that kind of a hallmark of all left-wing, totalitarian systems? Using force and theft “for the greater good”, the unstated premise being that individuals won't do it on their own. Thus the entire wold view of left wing systems is inherently contradictory: Their totalitarian approach is necessary because people are inherently bad (Hmmm, smells a lot like “original sin” to me), yet their systems won't work unless you also believe in the perfectibility of man (which will be accomplished through force). No wonder these people are crazy.


Look for the Union Label

Loads of American workers are dropping out of unions – Now liberals have a new plan to save left's cash cow

Wait, what? Unions are good for workers, why would they opt out? Guess that's why unions had to conspire to make union membership compulsory. Pro tip: If you provide value with your service, people will voluntarily support it.

Is This Real Life or a Scene From The Incredibles 2?



Slippery Slope

The Pedophile Project: Your 7-Year-Old Is Next On The Sexual Revolution’s Hit Parade

I think this article is spot on. Question: When do we reach the “enough is too much” point? Or do we? Do we just apathetically descend into perverted morass with the good people content to ignore the evil as long as it doesn't touch their families?

I could give a shit about “saving the Earth”, anything we do in this country is meaningless on a global scale unless and until the third and second world starts to care about the issue as a positive goal and not just as a tool to extort money from the first world, but some of these are pretty neat for their own sake. Mr. Trash Wheel is something of a local celebrity, with its own line of merchandise (plushies!), and I confess that I like to stop and watch it work when I'm at the Inner Harbor, it's just so cool. Water balls are a great idea too, but the one I really like is the whirlpool generator. It seems like just the ticket for a house off the grid, on land with water and some type of terrain gradient. It'll do until Thorium reactors become available.

Finally, I have a question for the IT types. What's up with Java? I don't use it much, in fact it's something I'd like to block more often than not, but suddenly it doesn't work. There are a couple of browser based games that I like to play occasionally, and suddenly they don't work. Java says that Firefox, Pale Moon and Chrome no longer support it, and they don't even work in IE. Anyone know what gives?

56 My views on single payer healthcare are based on my experience with some providers and my dad's medicare. There are providers who deliver a medical service, not because it is medically needed, but because medicare WILL cover it.

One example. My father was homebound. He had a serious cold when he was about 96. Because that can easily be pneumonia at that age, I called his doctor, who arranged for a nurse to come out to the house to check for bronchitis or pneumonia.

When she got here, she explained that if he had pneumonia he would have to go to the hospital. Fine. Good. Then she told me that if he didn't have pneumonia, she would come for something ridiculous, like, IIRC, 6 more home visits. I was fine with a follow up visit, but I asked why six follow up visits.

Her response: Because that was what medicare will cover. In other words, it wasn't that he needed 6 visits, it was that that was the most medicare was willing to cover for that situation. I went into a rant about why I hated government programs and she backed off. He had one follow up visit to be sure the cold was gone and didn't become bronchitis.

This isn't the only time I had this type of experience over his medicare care.

66 I've had two fourth grade boys (aged 9-10) who came out vocally in class. It was tough.

It's actually a brilliant strategy if you're an amoral pervert looking to corrupt children. Kids are very susceptible to emulating what's "popular", and at that age they don't usually have a solidly formed identity (sexually or otherwise, and I don't care what the activists say), so it's very easy for them to claim to be trans or gay in an effort to be "cool" or "unique". And if that's all it was it would be fairly harmless in most cases. However, when it is used as a wedge to separate these kids from their parents, or to freeze a shifting identity into place mentally or physically or worse of all, to sexually manipulate and often molest these kids....what kind of long term damage is being done to these kids? Hell, I don't think that 10 year olds should be heterosexually sexualized (ANY sexualized), now their bodies are being chemically altered just as they enter puberty. What does the next decade hold for these abused kids?

84 Cataract surgery article is wrong about Canada, leastwise Alberta. Saw my optometrist (not primary care physician) in November: "You are developing cataracts." Got appointment for Jan. 22 to see surgeon at eye clinic, because there was also possible retinal issue. Got thoroughly checked out that day. No retina problems, but definitely cataracts, bad enough that Alberta Health will pay for surgery. Alberta Health does pay for single-vision (i.e. not "adaptive") refractive lenses. Got my left eye done in April. Turned out fine. Got my right eye done in June. Because of astigmatism, I needed a single vision toric lens. That cost me $900 out of pocket. Right eye turned out fine, too. My total out-of-pocket: the 900 bucks, plus the optometrist's bill, which is a normal recurring expense, anyway.

I have 20/20 vision for the first time since Grad 2, and I can read a menu or newspaper without corrective lenses if I have good light. Still use weak readers for very close work.

Posted by: Weirddave at February 22, 2019 10:15 PM (wem1b)


My guess.. a horrible life and suicide rates through the roof. It breaks my heart to hear stories of 5 and 6 year old kids who "identify" as a different sex. They are kids for God's sake and some parents are encouraging this shit.

I know stuff I used to be able to do, I can't now. I finally broke down and got a used laptop with win 10 on it but haven't used it much.

I'll start when I have to and have no other recourse and absolutely have to have a certain connectivity that I don't have now.

I now PayPal doesn't support XP anymore but then I don't support PayPal either.

All the twitter videos won't play. (I wish you all would see if a youtube vid is available. I know it's extra work but those vids anyone can see. I hate that twitter has become the defacto video cause I can't see them anymore. Something to do with the codecs available in the browsers that will support XP.

Don't know what really happened with JAVA probably the same ol' security problems that they didn't want to or couldn't work around anymore so they cut it out.

The legislature has appropriated the money to fix the bottleneck, but since it is Portland, a well-organized opposition group has emerged to fight the fix, since fixing freeway bottlenecks, or doing anything else to make car travel easier, is Killing The Planet.

The guy organizing the opposition effort Tweeted out the following comment today:

we're really going to be kicking ourselves, huddled around whatever remains we find on our charred planet, that we didn't spend some time in the next few years going all-in on mucking up the enormously powerful political cogs designed to insist we perpetuate a carbonized economy

If you have a machine that can run XP but not 10, you could probably get by with Linux on it for another few years. Caveat is that you have to know or want to learn Linux; not everyone does.

165 Regarding the KTLA anchor and the sexual meth-to-ass mess from the last comment thread:

Anonosaurus Wrecks, Tyrannosaur Wrangler mentioned not remembering what a client called that particular method of drug ingestion.

I don't have a clue what the term was/is, but from now on I vote for "dropping anchor."

As far as sex preference, maybe... but I have seen boys and girls both that you would just about bet money on growing up to be gay at a fairly young age. Mainly little boys who were definitely effeminate. And this was back in the 80s, before all this craziness started in.Of course, prissy doesn't have to mean gay, but it usually ends up that way.

My Aunt Betty said she knew my cousin Brett was gay by the time he was 4. This would have been in rural Louisiana in the 50s, not some current CA whackos.

174 Could not view the Twatter video about Erf-saving. Probably all bullshit anyway, given that Earth is not in need of "saving". If you have a home with a stream on a good grade, you are one of a very lucky few. Maybe one in 10,000 rural homes are so situated.

And if you have such a property, a Pelton wheel is the tool of choice to exploit the head of water. Old tech, but they work just fine.

As to thorium reactors. They work, but thorium is scarce. The only place that I know of where it can be economically mined is from beaches in India. We have a metric fuckton of uranium, and viable uranium deposits are found on all continents. Thorium may produce less waste, or waste that stays hot for less time, but there is still waste to dispose of. And the "problem" of nuclear waste disposal is mainly legal: assholes sue to try to stop any development of waste disposal sites.

This guy also thinks that Miami will be under water in twenty years. When you ask people like this why real estate prices aren't collapsing in Miami (or Martha's Vineyard) if they are soon going to be underwater, the response is that the rich people who own oceanfront property know that the government will bail them out, so they feel no need to sell.

Because filing a major claim for damages with FEMA is so easy and painless and all.

204 I had cataract surgery in my left eye on Monday.

I have insurance through my employer. I had to get a referral through my primary physician, but I could just call for it. I didn't have to actually see her.

The copay for the consultation with the ophthalmologist was $80, and $250 for the surgery. There may be a separate bill from the anesthesiologist.

There was a couple months' wait between the first visit and the surgery, but I think that was because it's a very busy office.

I was given a choice of a standard lens which is covered by insurance, and a deluxe lens that is not. The standard lens would correct my distance vision, and once both eyes are done I would only need reading glasses.

The deluxe lens would correct my vision so that I wouldn't need glasses at all, but would cost about $2500 per eye out of pocket.

Even though I can afford to pay for the deluxe lenses, I've been used to wearing glasses for most of my 29 years, so I opted for the standard lenses.

The improvement in distance vision in my left eye is astonishing. I'm driving without glasses for the first time in my life. I still need them for reading and computer work.

I'm scheduled to have my right eye done one month after my left eye. After that I will get new glasses with a different prescription than what I currently have.

Forcibly making you and the Little Sisters of the Poor pay for abortions is the whole point.

Of course rich liberals could easily pay themselves for the costs of the small group of women who really can't afford an abortion, but that is not the point of the exercise.

Cataract surgery is one of those modern day miracle kind of things. Back in the day they would just remove the lens and you'd end up wearing those horribly thick glasses for the rest of your life. My great grandmother was a tiny thing and her glasses probably weighed more than she did.

As far as sex preference, maybe... but I have seen boys and girls both that you would just about bet money on growing up to be gay at a fairly young age. Mainly little boys who were definitely effeminate. And this was back in the 80s, before all this craziness started in.Of course, prissy doesn't have to mean gay, but it usually ends up that way.

My Aunt Betty said she knew my cousin Brett was gay by the time he was 4. This would have been in rural Louisiana in the 50s, not some current CA whackos.

320 Her response: Because that was what medicare will cover. In other words, it wasn't that he needed 6 visits, it was that that was the most medicare was willing to cover for that situation. I went into a rant about why I hated government programs and she backed off. He had one follow up visit to be sure the cold was gone and didn't become bronchitis.

This isn't the only time I had this type of experience over his medicare care.
Posted by: nerdygirl at February 22, 2019 10:11 PM

You know what happened after that, don't you? The Nurse only gave you 1 followup, to respect your wishes (and that was good of her to at least do that) and then of course she went ahead and billed Medicare for all 6. Because nobody ever checks up on any of that shit.

This. My Mom was on SSDI due to emphysema at 57. After a double lung transplant, she had some minor issues that required in home visits twice post surgery, right away. 2 months later, we called for some additional issues she was having. We were told she had exhausted her visits. Number of visits claimed? 12.

They used a subcontracted agency for visits. The agency involved only adjusted records after I threatened lawsuits and publicity. No telling how many people never catch this.

But yeah, I don't blame developers for dropping XP support because Microsoft themselves dropped support years ago. Here's a CNET article (from 2004) about the life expectancy of an unpatched Windows install placed on the public internet: 20 minutes from power on to compromised.

345 If you don't punish financial crime you get....more or less of financial crime?

And we do NOT punish cyber financial crime.


Someone breaks into a house and steals an x-box. Maybe they get shot. Maybe they get 6 months in jail. But the danger to them is real.


Someone figures out how to hack something and costs the world economy millions if not billions - in plugging holes, lost time due to additional new security, and however much the miscreants make off with and modern western governments do nothing.


And the "solution" of companies plugging holes is unsustainable. Personally, I can't wait until you have to send in a hand written manuscript to be able to register an account on stupid random chat boards on the internet.

As a very similar answer to how trivial this would be, if governments wanted to stop it, there is a whole online community of people that scam Nigerian scammers. And hell, if we had the CIA working on this maybe they wouldn't have time to spy on the president.

He had one patient who didn't think the drops were necessary and lost part of his sight in both eyes.

392 The weather in Omaha is lovely, thank you so very much for asking. We will have a wintery mix on top of the six inches of snow we got this past Saturday night, which was on top of the four inches we had received a couple days earlier, which was on top of the several inches we had received a few days earlier, etc., etc., etc. The wintery mix is supposed to last until about 3pm tomorrow afternoon when it will turn into a howling blizzard of up to 9" of heavy snow through the rest of Saturday into Sunday morning.

Yeah, I was meticulous about using both types of eyedrops (an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory) that I was prescribed right on schedule. My ophthalmologist puts the fear of God in all his patients about what can happen if you don't use the drops, or stop after a few days. He had one patient who didn't think the drops were necessary and lost part of his sight in both eyes. The day I had my second eye done, I heard my doc yelling at another of his patients right there in the clinic-- "Use the full course of drops, dammit!"

A friend of mine owns an acreage with a barn and barn cats. She is very conscientious about getting them fixed and keeping up with their shots. I asked her for any tips that might make it a little easier to stuff the Queen of the Night into her carrier. She told me to tip the carrier so the door is on top. Grab the cat by the scruff of her neck, support her hind legs with your other hand and just drop her into the carrier. Scruffing a cat immobilizes it because that is the way its mother carried it when it was a baby, so that reaction is pretty much hard wired into their walnut sized brains.

476 Java as a language wasn't too bad. But McNealy or whoever insisted on making it The Thing That Ate The World: not just a language, but a whole environment, run on an interpreter. Seemed like some Java projects scaled poorly, with memory consumption problems.

Then some dope named an unrelated but popular language JavaScript, just to confuse everybody. It was The Coffee Era, when all tech had to give a marketing nod to coffee and cafe-related culture.

Since Java was a popular first course for CS students, and had simple browser integration, it became regrettably popular. Sort of like the BASIC of OO languages.

I'm retired now, but I like R for analyzing data, and Python for everything else; Python is open I think, and seems to be very portable across platforms. It's ugly compared to C#, fer sure. And it seems to have two incompatible forks: pre-V3 and post-V3, which is maddening.

496 I do not know if the USAF weatherguessers co-trained with the USAF ParaRescue or Combat Controllers.

If they did, you'd be wise to NOT send 'em for a volcano ride, as they'll turn the tables on you right rikki tic.

USAF P.J.s and C.C.s undergo (for starters) every BIT of Special Forces initial screening ordeals, Hell Week in the flavor of your choice, included.

They qualify in everything. Arctic, Jungle, Mountain, Jump Qual, HALO, HAHO, SCUBA, and EVERY small arm in both NATO and EASTBLOC inventories.

The Combat Controllers then become Air Traffic Controllers, but with the unique knowledge and ability to vector in each and every airframe in the NATO inventory, knowing a particular airplanes performance envelope, capabilities, and the EXACT performance of every weapon carried by said airplane.

No math on the blog? Fine. They do ALL of the MATH, as a baseline to their very existence.

And they can weave 'em all into the Combat Airspace, putting Ordnance on Target in a 400 knot ballet of hurtling aluminum, Jet-A and flesh n' blood pilot and weapons operator.

Your friendly local ParaRescueman?

Same as above, subtract Air Traffic Control, replace with Physician's Assistant medical skills.

Small fact. A USAF P.J., while under an attending Doctor's supervision, performs an actual appendectomy or other similar "routine" surgery, as a parameter for graduation from his medical quals.

That's those two unique USAF career fields.

Conversely, 1978, I underwent full "Tornado Training" (sixteen actual classroom hours), taught by a run-of-the-mill USAF meteorologist.

Dude was razor sharp in his specialty.

Pencil necked geek, otherwise.

But, I can name all relevant clouds, evaluate the risks and know when to put the alert on the airwaves, as needed.

With that knowledge, I can tell you here and now. Tornado chasers are insane. Bloody fucking insane.

I've seen the damage up close and personal.

The worst of them are maniacs.

The best of them are heroes. They send out the warnings when all the other systems fail.

505 The bio-gas generator is something they were trying around dairies. The idea is to harvest the methane from decomposing plant fiber and cow poop.

The technique has been used in China, where it is put under shallow ponds to keep aquaculture going during the winter, and the gas is generated in the decomposition of human waste and vegetable fiber like straw and such. The methane is used for the stoves instead of burning straw and vegetable materials directly for heat.

The compost is used on fields. It is touted as a giant step forward in ecological farming, and a step away from the age old practice of using human feces (night soil) as a fertilizer. It might cut down hepatitis rates too.

There are some issues, the methane has sulfur in it that has to be reacted out so it doesn't stink everything up. Usually they run it through a filter of iron filings and stuff to extract it on the way to the burner. There is also an issue of keeping pressure up, and I have seen suggestions of pumping the gas into an old truck tire as a bladder to keep pressure up in the burners.

Fortunately if you put fine wire gauze across the pipe in various spots, it keeps down the risk of a "flashback" of lit gas to the bladder or the digester itself.

(That would cause a short, sharp shower of Sh**!)

The only times she gets ornery is when I have to brush a particularly nasty snarl out of her fur or when I trim her claws. She can't do much damage because she doesn't have any front claws and she can't open her mouth any wider than to sort of gnaw on my hand. (I inherited her from a friend a few years back, and the friend had her front paws declawed. I refuse to declaw a cat any more. I don't own a piece of furniture or a carpet worth worrying about.)

518 It's all a wash (code). I have never seen a problem more efficiently solved in C. It's all about defining the structure. Classes are glorified 'structures' but if u see it beforehand the time and lines saved forsake of the proper structure is often a glorified wash.

How do I know ? I don't. Not with proof; don't care. But you can store anything in a structure and the added keystrokes are inconsequential with adequate typing speed.

If you put me on the spot right now I'd wage it's the dumbing- down of everything until we program computers to do all the thinking for us. Even adding.

Tautologistic you say. Maybe.

Oh and c# well you have to give props there. I mean not all function calls are equal are they. Some have arguments and some have .... well, unknown number of arguments (which you can fit in a ms_ style array of unknown length at compile time - best option eva!).

Really it all comes down to trust. What the compiler will trust the coder with ... any restriction is restricted (cap)abilty; also known as freedom, and if I wanted to stretch it and make a point, which I do not, I might say liberty.

534 You might not realize it, but McD and Jack in the Box are once more, competing in a bit of a Burger War.

This time, rather than fighting it out on the cheap end, they're vying for primacy on the high end of the low end chain-burger front.

McD's "made to order" Quarter Pounder is the real thing. Try one. You'll be amazed.

JitB's "Ultimate Cheeseburger". Order it on Sourdough. It's a knockout.

This does not mean that their economy burgers are now GOOD. They're merely edible.

But, they're trying hard to keep up with the boutique burgers, and are acquitting themselves if not with distinction, then at least free of shame.

Time was though, back in the early '80s, when Fuddruckers was the last word in a premium, chain store burger.

Sadly, that was nearly thirty years ago. The burger world has changed, since then.

552 I don't have much fast food, but concur with those saying Chik-Fil-A is good. Food, plus of course the service/staff, which is like a time machine trip to an America of a few decades ago.


So I can't judge most of the major chains. However, generally, when I go, I'm surprised at how good the food is. Maybe it's the infrequency of the visits. Last time I had some Jack in the Box stuff - 3 years? - I was shocked at how good it was (breakfast stuff, before an early shootin' match). Young staff people were great, too.


Closest I generally get to fast food, apart from In-N-Out or Chik-Fil-A on road trips, is what I call "Mexican fresh fast food" - and no, I don't mean the white boy gringo mini-chains with "fresh" in their name (nothing wrong with them, but not what I'm talkin' about). Local, stand-alone or small chains, barely se habla ingles, food is almost all made to order, quickly. Was in one recently that made *their own* chorizo. Amazingly good. (they also had birria, and on the other side of the scale, some innovative Americanized things like burritos with ..... Cheetos as an ingredient - um, lessee, would a stoned or drunk 27-yr old me be all over that like a hobo on a ham sandwich? All signs point to "da")


These sorts of places really didn't exist, much, until the late 80s/early 90s, as I recall. They're now numerous. Variations in quality of course. But the good ones are incredibly good.

I just recently told this story to my boss. I was an early adopter of Java, around 1998. Back then it was a component object system, where almost everything could be compiled separately and, with some good design practices work together.

That was before the 90s-era C-shop build systems came in. And the jar, war, ear deployment monstrosities.

But I still think the programming world owes James Gosling a lot for the various concepts he got right about Java.

564 497 -- The Air Force guys were fun when the place was still SAC. You'd ask one of them what they did, and they'd tell you they rode around in planes all day or else kind of shrug and avoid looking at you. Looking Glass got kind of sloppy the last couple of years it was still in operation. I had an evening job back then, and the Looking Glass jet came in from the West at the same exact time every late afternoon.I don't know whether the Gereral's wife insisted he be home for dinner at 6pm on the dot or what the drill was.

I know I knew the exact minute we started bombing Baghdad during Gulf war 1, and the exact time we invaded. The traffic in and out of Offutt/SAC was incredible. I was nearly deaf by the time things finally quieted down.

569 Best local/regional chain, Whataburger.

Competes with Chic Fil A on the friendliness front.

Like In n' Out ...the burgers don't "travel" well. Best to dine on site, and enjoy.

What's best on the menu though.

A breakfast item, the Taquito. Order yours with sausage, egg and cheese.

Bliss. Sublime. Transcendent. Perfection.

How good is the sausage in that thing? The GIANT of Texas supermarkets is the H.E.B. chain... powerful enough to have completely eliminated Kroger's and Albertsons from the San Antonio market. PERIOD.

H.E.B. carries the Whataburger sausage on the shelf.

And it's better than Jimmy Dean's sausage, by a long shot.

That Taquito is something you've got to put on your dining list of Things to Have before you Die.

It is that good.

570 EoJ would return to wide acclaim. His self-exile was a thing of sadness for most, judging by comments since. He could "bring it" in an ace-ish humor way.


Did I hear Jack in the Box is up for sale? Part of Southwest Corporation, no?


I used to park in their HQ parking lot in Kearny Mesa (Jim knows the general area - they're on Ruffin Rd. just west of the I-15, up the hill, on Balboa) to "launch" for bike rides up towards the Beeramar area (Miramar, for old-timers and Top Gun fans). Weekends.


I used to think - how do I get involved in taste-testings here? I think they have their corporate kitchens there and do their focus-group testing of new products.

Was only at SAC once, back in the glorious days of the Cold War, when men were men and Soviets were Soviets and toxic masculinity gloriously ruled *both* sides of the conflict. But the Commander's Cut was ridiculous. Even at that age, was about 3 beef dinners for me. I got the Major's Cut (as I recall), still twice what I'd ever want, but smaller.


Stock yards were close enough to smell, if I recall correctly, so I got it, and love beef, but those pieces of prime rib were ridiculous.

615 Someone send thus up though the COBS to Ace himself.

ONT BAN FREE THREAD.

1 APR 19 (because, DUH?!)

ONT is to be delayed from normal launch, to 9:00 pm CENTRAL. This is to allow the West Coast Horde a chance to join in at 7 local, their time.

DURATION: Six Hours. After which, all archival bans resume.

AFTERMATH: In the week following, the Horde can clamor for UN-banning of the best of the Reunion Thread, by acclamation.

Decision(s) to be made by the cabal of Ace and Cobs, and all decisions are final.

How does this sound to you, Horde?

Well, I tend to agree with WD that it would be a huge workload for the Cobs. But...

Explicitly ban-free would only apply to pedigreed Morons and Ettes, and those who were formerly such. Not trolls, or unknown newbies.

I think the largest obstacle would be in communicating to the legion of the banned that such an event was forthcoming. I can think of only one bannee whose e-mail address I have.

713 AMA Grand National at the Sacramento Mile.

This is where the racing is still racing.

Follow the whole AMA flat-track and TT series, and you'll see racing as it was meant to be.

If you're old enough, it'll remind you of the NASCAR of the late '60s, when the factory cars and privateers still reigned.

None of the Car of Tomorrow or whatthefuckever, in AMA racing.

And the "hype" still doesn't look like WWF or Moster Truck "SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY" kind of bullshit.

Which is the same advertising format that began the downfall of the NFL, bout the same time Hank Williams got the contract to sing the Monday Night Football theme song.

His was a courtly, old-school sort of bigotry. No edge, no animus. Maybe "eye-rolling stereotyper" is a better description.


Oh - and while his luv of Tillis was worthy of mockery, I must report with a sign that none other than the Trumpenfuhrer, today, in the Trumpentwatters, praised the "highly respected" (or some such) Sen. Burr. Specifically for his SSCI stuff, his statement about the absurd "collusion" thing. Yeah yeah Trump is all about NYC real estate glad-handing and bull-sh***ing, I get it (and enjoy most of it).

Jay Springsteen was the best on the flattrack, ever.

Carrol Resweber was the most thrilling rider to watch on the track, ever.

100+ mph feet-up slides on the mile were his specialty, and he did so with elan, and many a winner's circle to boot.

The era right after?

The desert sleds, and James Coburn, George Kennedy, Steve McQueen rode those races without quarter.

That was when the big four-stroke Brit singles were the bomb, and before the invasion of the Euro and Jap two strokes, altogether.

If you've never seen a BSA Gold Star set up for the desert, with heavy skid plate, knobby, number plates and tank-strap, well, you've not seen a significant race bike from a significant era.

Most beautiful bike from the late 50s, early 60s, pre-two stroke days?

AJS 650 single.

Art, on two wheels.

Wasn't the winningest. Just the prettiest.

One of my bucket list items is to go to Maine to build my own wood/canvas canoe.

There's a company that still has the original "forms" from one of the pioneers of the genre and for the price of a finished canoe you can camp out for two weeks and they teach you to build your own.

(Note that the price of a finished canoe is not cheap).

756 @ choogle.

Dream boat is a 1983 or later Irwin 52 ft. Ketch.

Earlier Irwins were built differently, and not as serviceably.

I want the larger boat, for more tankage, greater space for spares, stores, parts, freezerage, and all around general stowage.

Plus, the longer the waterline, the greater the speed.

Properly rigged, I can single-hand the '52, and have done so in the past. Docking might benefit from a bow-thruster, but a quick radio blast or a phone call to the harbormaster often sends a dock hand running to assist, regardless.

The vast belowdecks space of the '52 also, lends itself to many VERY hidden compartments, which as you all might surmise....I would put to very good use.

764 One of my bucket list items is to go to Maine to build my own wood/canvas canoe.

There's a company that still has the original "forms" from one of the pioneers of the genre and for the price of a finished canoe you can camp out for two weeks and they teach you to build your own.

(Note that the price of a finished canoe is not cheap).

Birch barks and wood/canvas canoes are sort of the same but opposite. The Indians would take a huge piece of birch bark and sort of stuff the frame into it. The shapes were perfect for the waters they were designed for and the boats were light and flexible.

In the late 1800s a few guys in Maine took the Indian designs and made them reproducible. The created "forms", the inverse of a mold, and steamed cedar planking so that it would bend over the form and hold its new shape.

One of the guys was named Grey and he made the Old Towns. One was named White and his original molds are now in use by the Island Falls Canoe Company, which is where I want to go to build my own.

I have an Old Town from 1937 (I have the build slip) but it's not in great shape. Someone had fiberglassed it before I got it and I haven't taken the best care of it. Would be a great restoration project some day.

796 Good Morning ONT Morons

So you want to know about single-payer (ie. government insurance) vs private insurance.

Single-payer has been the desired goal by the Communists since FDR. They went a long way towards getting it with Medicare for aged 65 and older under LBJ and all Democrat congress in 1965. And then by expanding SS they incorporated Medicaid for which made the FSA eligible for Medicare free and called it Medicaid financed through SS taxes. And then under Obamacare they expanded it even further.


And now it is going bankrupt. And the advocates of Obamacare have admitted their aim was to get single payer through these incremental steps.

So what is the aim of single payer in the long run? The communist desire to nationalize the entire healthcare industry. When the government becomes responsible for all nationwide healthcare then the government owns all healthcare and the industry has been effectively nationalized. And we all know how ell these communist programs work.

And we are almost there. And that is because we have no opposition Party.

811 ---- 2/23

This is a technical idea:
It may have been said before, or this is wrong, but as of 10 years prior it was not.

I will not say what is special about consciousness.

Here is what is special about digital computers:

It operates on itself.
The instructions and operands (data) are interchangeable.
For an X bit architecture the difference between a function and an argument is....

Wait for it ...

NOTHING. The function doesn't know the difference.

A pointer to anything and an address, or literal, are indistinguishable except for .... wait for it.

CONTEXT (excepting the short instruction literal(ly)).

Moving on....
Why is this important ? I assure u it is not; only the forsaken awake will scan and hopefully skip this. However, for the future, let one's eyes gaze on what is a quantum computer(A). I will address irrelevant digressions then come back to (A).

Notice a single word (native integer) can entirely change the remaining process without a change in processing time/ops.

As a non expert expert (full disclaimer), I can only suggest old media: the 1-D optical lattice (for historical sake we must give this attention), solid state iso-spin structures (time evolution - likely not happenening), the Bose condensate (2+D), solid state (magnetic structures fixed in place - quantized flux (was very interesting)), ... plus whatever there is today, photonic non-linear, this, that whatever.

All these thing can evolve quantum wave vectors and spit out a superposition.

Now that was the bad part (my apologies). It means nothing to anyone. None of this should mean anything to anyone.

(A) the fundamental hurdle with a real quantum analog is that quantum processes are by definition fragile.

There is not likely to be any quantum process which can entirely change the quantum process which begat it.
This is likely fundamental.

Now, a quantum process can be measured, yes. And the processor can be restructured with classical means from the result, yes. Also, a quantum process can be fed back to reinforce, yes. This can amplify. But to what degree ? I don't claim to be up to date - however I think I would be able to guess:

The quantum process cannot restructure the classical media to effect an entirely different quantum process without measuring it. (All these quantum effects are incurred under strong classical (manufactured) influence).

My point is there may be no such analogue of classical computers to quantum ones. It may be there are only hybrids allowing quantum function acceleration amidst classical processing.

You should think this idea stupid. And you would be correct as most are. And yet this is what they mean. But in the battle of words and science, such as "CO2 climate catastrophe" I submit this to you as an unveiling of what those who know, and those who pretend to, pull out of their pockets for to be-spell with magic.

Now, all I can think of is a plate of bacon; why is that?

831 One must also consider how the so-called Pigford settlement was settled. This was a bogus civil suit by black "farmers" and it was up to the DOJ to defend against those black farmers. Bill "I never had sex with that woman" Clinton was President and in control of the DOJ.

Not much of a defense was made by the DOJ in the case or the settlement. The whole process bypassed congress which the Republican controlled bot in the House and the Senate.

I have a stinking thought that this was a "sue and settle" tactic used frequently in the Obama years by the EPA.

"Try to take a 10 pound cat domesticated housecat - one that you've owned her whole life who ostensibly loves you and enjoys sitting in your your lap - to the vet."

Ours get in the cat carriers voluntarily - we set them down and they go "oh, it's trip time" and walk right in. One even chooses to nap in the cat carriers on lazy afternoons.

These cats also come when called by name.

They also are fairly cooperative among themselves. It's a regular occurrence that one will be outside wanting in and the inside one will come get someone to open the door, then go back to finish naptime. Or one will want out and the other will go get someone and lead them to the door where the other one is waiting, then walk off looking bored - "yeah, you did what I wanted, I don't need you anymore". On one occasion I saw one of them lounging on the porch, I said "Hi , where's ?" Cat1 looked at me, then turned and looked fixedly at a particular tree. I followed the gaze and, yup, there was Cat2, relaxing on a branch.

It does take a fair amount of work and patience and luck with personality traits to get a cat to behave like this, but it's doable. The really impressive thing is that it's entirely learned behavior - when you look at what the species does in the wild in its original African habitat, it's entirely solitary except for mating and mothers raising kittens. There's nothing in their instincts covering much of anything social.
