Saturday Overnight Open Thread (3/30/19)
"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain. Welcome to Flight 293, non-stop from London Heathrow to New York. The weather ahead is good, so we should have an uneventful flight. So, sit back, relax, and... OH...MY GOD!" Silence followed..... complete silence... Some moments later, the captain came back on the intercom.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm sorry if I scared you. While I was talking to you, a flight attendant accidentally spilled hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!"
From the back of the plane, an Irish passenger yelled “For the luvva Jaysus, you should see the back of mine!" H/T Hrothgar
The pay is good, but not the job for me. What about you?
We all know that space travel is not only expensive, but also dangerous. If humans are to send people to Mars, scientists must know and understand the effects that living in space poses to human body. It is known that the so-called “puffy-head, bird-legs” syndrome exists, which manifests itself when, due to zero gravity conditions, blood flow is no longer pulled to the legs and as a result, the astronaut’s head is filled with fluid. Therefore, NASA and ESA teamed up to conduct a bed rest study to see how the body adapts to weightlessness. The space agencies announced that they are looking for two dozen volunteers to spend 60 days laying down to help scientists understand how space travel will affect astronauts. The participants will be paid 16,500 euros (more than $18,500) and will have to travel to Cologne, Germany.
An interesting look back into history. And not all that long ago...........Logistics, moving soap from Philadelphia to Petaluma, CA.
In 1912, Petaluma’s Carlson-Currier Silk Mill ordered three tons of soap, to wash the silk, from a Philadelphia company. How it was to be delivered is quite a story. “Now leaving the station, the Time Travel Express, headed back 100 years. There’s plenty of room, so hop on.” In the summer of 1912, Republican William Howard Taft was president and running for re-election against former president Theodore Roosevelt, running in his own Progressive “Bull Moose” Party, Democrat Woodrow Wilson and Socialist Eugene Debs. Earlier in the year, New Mexico and Arizona were named the 47th and 48th states. In April, the “unsinkable” Titanic sank on its maiden voyage. In Washington D.C., the first cherry trees were planted. The Boston Red Sox opened a new stadium, Fenway Park, where if you bought Cracker Jack, you got a prize in the box. Fifteen young women were fired for dancing the Turkey Trot on their lunch break. The summer Olympics were held in Stockholm, with Jim Thorpe winning gold medals in two new events, the decathlon and pentathlon, and Sweden taking the gold in tug of war. And, on June 20, 1912, the Philadelphia Inquirer announced that teamsters from the Chas. W. Young Company would make the first transcontinental shipment of goods in the United States. A crew left Philadelphia in an Alco truck, loaded with three tons of Parrot Brand Olive Oil Soap, heading for Petaluma and the Carlson-Currier Silk Mills.H/T Hank Curmudgeon
Soon it will be boating season. Anchor lessons. How not to lose an anchor and chain.
A new survey reveals that nearly 80% of people who drink alcohol have shopped on the web while intoxicated. And while the results can be hilarious, drunk shopping is a multi-billion dollar national habit. According to a survey by tech and business newsletter The Hustle, drunk Americans spend approximately $45 billion per year, with an average annual spend of $444 per drunk shopper. Most common? Clothing and shoes, while Amazon remains the shopping platform of choice.
3" vinyl records. The come back kid.
History is littered with dead audio formats, from Elcaset to 8-track tapes, wire recording to "talking rubber." Yet so far, vinyl has consistently resisted going quietly into that good night. Today, unit sales are up 800 percent from ten years ago, and companies continue to produce turntables of all shapes and sizes (they even steal CES headlines from the latest Internet-of-whatever device). So while we may no longer want them in our automobiles, in home record players appear to be thriving whether due to an appreciation of physical media, tactile rituals, or multi sensory experiences. And on this wave of modern record appreciation, one of the most obscure vinyl formats is getting a second lease on life thanks to Record Store Day.

John Wayne: The Duke or Draft Dodger?
It seems the Duke chose to be a megastar millionaire instead of an over-worked, underpaid draftee doing lowly jobs overseas. John Wayne is undisputedly one of the most popular stars in American history. His vast legacy of films, which set the cinematic standards for the decades to come, granted him immortality and rightly made him an icon. Though he died in June 1979, he’s still idolized by innumerable people as the face of American ideals and values. Even today, there’s hardly any “favorite film star” list in which the Duke – as the actor is nicknamed – isn’t seen among the top spots
Honesty helps. But he is still a Genius Award Winner.

He gave me a lot of crap in 2008 after Obama's reign of destruction began.
We've kinda agreed to disagree about Trump, because a friendship since the '70's is more important.
Anyway today we were sipping on a beer and he just changed the subject and said, "There wasn't much to that Mueller investigation. It was a waste of time. The press really blew it, after 2 years I thought they would have had something. It's really confusing."
I nearly fell out of my chair. He said he knew that I knew the details, and where to start. He was all confused.
I told him to watch for the uncovering of the FISA Court warrants that were fraudulent. All 4 of them.
I didn't want to overload him too soon.
Until last week, he still thought that CNN was a news network.

It's quite common for LDS missionaries to have significant others left behind at home while the missionary is in the field. One missionary in my mission, who had a girlfriend waiting for him back home, got some rather surprising news. While he was away for his two year stint, his father married the mother of the missionary's girlfriend.
I don't know whether anything happened between the missionary and the girlfriend once he completed his mission and returned home (unsurprisingly, most of the time the relationship doesn't survive the two year absence). But it had the potential to make for an interesting family tree.

But in Virginia City the circumstances happened to coincide with a time in history when science, engineering, and industry had so many more answers than just a few years before. Not that they solved all the problems.
Funniest, most instructive part was that for years, mining for the gold that had been found and started the whole rush, they had discarded (even used for road beds) the ore that contained all the silver. Had never seen silver in such a formation, didn't recognize it. Only when testing to see what other auxiliary use they might make of the stuff did they discover ..... oh s**t, this stuff is silver!

Once you find a new gig (and you will) you can do some mild kvetching about the changes. Keep doing it until one of the upper-ups says, "The only constant is change."
Then you respond with, "Well, there's the gravitational constant. And there's Planck's constant. You're all of a sudden smarter than Isaac Newton and Max Planck? And there's frickin' pi! For cryin' out loud, pi is grade school stuff!!"
Then you give your notice.

John Ford was a Navy man. He did a lot of combat photography/movie making for the Navy in WWII. He was actually at Midway during the battle and was knocked unconscious during a Japanese air raid (bombing).
John Ford didn't seem to have a problem with John Wayne. Or am I mis-remembering? Jimmy Stewart was a combat pilot of B-24's in WWII, and he didn't have a problem with John Wayne either.
And Ron Reagan went into the Army Reserves in the 30's, and was itching for action during WWII. However, without his glasses, he was legally blind. There was no way the Army was sending him anywhere. An he could have gotten out on a medical discharge.
And still, he was mocked about his service by the Left later on.

The article seem to make something of his Hollywood lifestyle. He was an actor living it up. I'm not seeing an issue here. I had read he did serve just not in combat. Didn't know about his time at Midway. Interesting. Articles like this one annoys me. He's dead, he's not going to get deader by piling on with this stupid non sense. The people who like his movies are still going to watch them. I love his movies (well, most of them) and I'm going to watch them.

Speaking of WWII, and SoCal, while looking around for ramen places to try after picking up a skeery skeery gun tomorrow up in lower SmellA, I saw on the computer map that the Torrance airport has been named Louis Zamperini Field. Which I find amusing, given that Torrance was once the center of Japanese-American post-war suburban living, and the first Japanese corporate center in the US (Toyota moved to TX 2 years ago, but I think there are still many Japanese corps with their US HQs there).

Wayne and Ford were friends for pretty much the entirety of both of their lives. I don't know what Ford thought about Wayne's actions during the war. But I know he remained good friends with the actor. As an example, when Wayne was directing 'The Alamo', Ford turned up on set and hung around. Wayne initially didn't know what to do with him. It was Wayne's directorial debut, and the last thing he needed was a talented idle director just hanging around. But telling Ford to just leave would have been rude. After a bit it was suggested that he have Ford direct some secondary shooting. That got him off the set without risking the friendship.

BUT... this guy wasn't your ordinary beggar. Just like the last time I saw him, he was singing and busking his heart out on his guitar. He had a pail in front of him.
I admit this charmed me. I actually gave the guy a buck.
I just feel far more good about giving it to a guy who's working (as in, doing SOMETHING) for it, like sharing music, rather than just somebody who's doing nothing but sitting, trying to look pathetic, and debasing himself for pennies and nickels.

2. I just think it's a worthwhile site for other Morons to check out. On a lot of topics, there's folks there who *should* be members here, if they're not already. They agree with us on a lot of topics, including AOC, PDT, etc.
3. But, it does NOT in any way replace what I get here. If I had to give up either here or Quora, Quora would be gone in a millisecond.
4. I almost always post stuff here from Quora, just to help entertain everyone, and because I enjoy reading people's responses HERE.

The analogy being used is that of a gear ratio.

right, but whereas the eurofags use gearing, we here in the United States, use leverage. gearing suggests that there are advantages and disadvantages to certain structures, while leverage suggests that more is better.

You're right about the second. Not sure about the first, but it sounds reasonable. It's not like there's any power on earth that's going to keep a runaway chain; either you put in a weak link or you just lose the bulkhead out of the chain locker along with whatever's on the other side.

It's a band brake. One of the comments suggests that their mistake was continuing to loosen it when the chain got jammed, then when the chain started moving again, they didn't have time to tighten it back up before things got out of control. Seems plausible. Maybe one of the nautical morons can speculate.

Lived there fourteen winters. Year-end holiday time, I would buy a bunch of gift coupons for McDonald's, and hand them out to the bums. Talk about being able to tell who was hungry and who wasn't!
Most memorable was Milady and me walking down near Division, blazing hot summer afternoon. Bum passed out on the sidewalk, in the blazing sun, people stepping around him and over him, as oblivious as New Yawkers.
Best Milady and I could do was get him shaken awake enough to stand up and we helped him stagger over to some shade, out of the way. Y'do whatcha can.

I think I saw one source that said 8 oz, which would mean that, in the novel I'm re-reading, Noble House, Struan's "a double tot of rum to all hands" meant "you can get seriously drunk tonight." But is that right, or was it just a shot or something?

Speaking of mines, I've always wondered how the hell the various players managed to track/avoid/keep updated on minefields in the Med, where the Italians and the British would lay fields ("barrages") all the time. Wasn't like the fields off the UK, or in the various straits around Japan. Constant changes. But lots of ships were lost to mines, which I guess might be my answer: they didn't keep up to date that well, and did it the hard way.

Novel as in new, or like a proposal for a book?
Because here's an idea that's worth millions: Those scammers in Nigeria who say they'll give people millions of dollars because the prince was in jail or something, they should all pool some funds and actually pay one of their marks, as promised. When word gets around that it's not always a scam, people will fall for it more readily. Doing this ought to pay off for them in the long run.

Speaking of WWII, and SoCal, while looking around for ramen places to try after picking up a skeery skeery gun tomorrow up in lower SmellA, I saw on the computer map that the Torrance airport has been named Louis Zamperini Field. Which I find amusing, given that Torrance was once the center of Japanese-American post-war suburban living, and the first Japanese corporate center in the US (Toyota moved to TX 2 years ago, but I think there are still many Japanese corps with their US HQs there).

"As I lay dying" is correct if it's the past tense.

--I can grow a kick-ass beard. About 20 years ago, my boss's boss (the COO) jokingly asked me if I was stating a new religion.
Beard --no problem. Mustache --no problem. Alpha male, both.
The couple of centimeters connecting beard and mustache?
Problem.

Well now, let's not jump to conclusions. I actually haven't read the book, and Faulkner just MAY have INTENDED the expression to be in the present tense. As in "As I Lie Dying Here Writing this Book." Except that these being southern yahoos he was writing about, they'd say "As I LAY Raht Here In This Here Spot Dyin' Away."
Now that might be good for a Ph.D. thesis raht there.

Few flags to be seen right around here. Canadians, as a rule, don't fly flags as much as do Americans, and home flagpoles are rarely seen.
I should order a nice Red Ensign, and fly it when Turdeau snuffs it. I don't like our current flag one little bit.
And I expect that Western resentment of the Maple Leaf rag is one reason why relatively few of us fly the damned thing. It does not represent me, or my history.
