Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Sunday Overnight Open Thread (6/28/20)Quote I “The fundamental starting point is, yes, we’ve bought the wrong satellites,” Dr Bleddyn Bowen, a space policy expert at the University of Leicester Quote II “Centuries of institutionalized oppression will not be undone overnight, for racism in America is as structural as the marble pillars of this very institution,” the Democrat added. “With the power of the pen we must legislate accountability, dismantle these systems, and move in the direction of justice and healing. The Justice in Policing Act is a critical step forward, and I applaud the leadership of the Congressional Black Caucus.”Rep. Ayanna Presley (D-MA) Quote III Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio could have just as easily discouraged protests, short of condemning their message, in the name of public health and exercised discretion to suspend enforcement for public safety reasons instead of encouraging what they knew was a flagrant disregard of the outdoor limits and social distancing rules. They could have also been silent. But by acting as they did, Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio sent a clear message that mass protests are deserving of preferential treatment.U.S. District Judge Gary L. Sharpe Quote IV “They believe that in this current moment, the chaos that surrounds us is signaling the potential for an impending second civil war which, believe it or not, they are hoping for because they believe that will rid the United States of all its problems,”Devin Burghart, executive director of the National Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights.

Seriously can’t even BELIEVE that WaPo tried to get away with this headline on dangerous Democrat-controlled cities Practice makes perfect. Or does it? In 1993, Swedish psychologist K. Anders Ericsson set out to find the secret to turning a typical teen into a violin virtuoso. His answer? Practice: 10,000 hours of it. The figure, a simple average of a few prodigies’ regimens, stuck; journalist and author Malcolm Gladwell even dubbed it “the magic number of greatness” in his 2008 book Outliers. The concept of ”practice makes perfect” has been drilled into the heads of ambitious youths since the Roman Empire. Anyone can be the next LeBron James, Yo-Yo Ma, or Celine Dion as long as they can devote enough time to honing their craft. But can it be that simple? Not every expert agrees. While training is essential to learning, spending a chunk of your life trying something over and over doesn’t mean you’ll go pro, says Zach Hambrick, a psychologist at Michigan State University. You don't need to wear no stinkin' mask. And the exemption card isn't going to work. The Department of Justice is now warning that a card circulating online is falsely claiming its holder is lawfully exempt from wearing a mask. A recently issued alert by the department is urging the public not to heed information printed on the fraudulent cards, which purport to carry the authority of the "Freedom to Breathe Agency," which is neither a federal nor a state agency. The fake card states that wearing a mask will incur mental or physical risk for the holder. The card also posits that the Americans with Disabilities Act forbids raising questions about the health condition aggravated by mask usage. Penalties are threatened if a business owner does not act accordingly. "If found in violation of the ADA you could face steep penalties. Organizations and businesses can be fined up to $75,000 for your first violation and $150,000 for any subsequent violations. Denying access to your business/organization will be also reported to FTBA for further actions," the card reads, according to images that have been posted online.

So I don't know if this board member has problems or is a Genius Award Winner. OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – Parents are outraged after seeing a school board member for Western Heights in Oklahoma City drink a beer during a recent meeting. Many parents are now questioning every decision she’s made and others are calling for her resignation. “She’s voting on stuff that has to do with a bunch of money and has to do with our students and has to do with the community,” Western Heights Parent Brianna Dodd told KFOR. “She could possibly be highly intoxicated.” On Thursday night, board member Linda Farley made a motion, then, while President Robert Everman was calling for a second to the motion, you could see Farley take a sip from a Corona Extra bottle.And Western Heights Parent Until the Food Police shut her down, Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day After Michelle Brenner was furloughed from her job at a menswear store in Gig Harbor, Wash, she decided to make herself a huge pan of lasagna. Then she got on her community Facebook page and wrote that frozen, store-bought lasagna could not compare to the real Italian homemade deal. She followed up with an offer: "If any of you want some fresh homemade, no calorie counting lasagna, please let me know and I will gladly prepare it." Brenner set aside her $1,200 stimulus check to buy ingredients, and the requests began to trickle in. First from a retired neighbor, then an out-of-work friend. Soon, many people started showing up, including strangers. Nearly three months and more than 1,000 pans later, Brenner is still at it. About eight hours a day, seven days a week, she helps feed people in her community - from hospital workers and first responders to single parents struggling without paychecks.

The FBI has launched an investigation after a piece of rope resembling a noose was found in the locker of a Black firefighter in a suburb of Minneapolis. "A piece of rope tied into what appears to be a crude noose" was found last week in the firefighter's gear locker at a fire station in Bloomington, Minnesota, but the incident wasn't reported to the department's leadership until Thursday, Bloomington Mayor Tim Busse said in a statement released on Saturday.

Senior Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander said Sunday that he thinks it would "help" if President Donald Trump wore a mask because it would eliminate political stigma around doing so as the coronavirus continues to spread across the US. "If wearing masks is important and all the health experts tell us that it is in containing the disease in 2020, it would help if from time to time the President would wear one to help us get rid of this political debate that says if you're for Trump, you don't wear a mask, if you're against Trump, you do," the Tennessee Republican, who chairs the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, said on CNN's "Inside Politics."

bass player John Entwistle, died aged 57 in his hotel room at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Entwistle had gone to bed that night with a stripper, who woke at 10am to find Entwistle cold and unresponsive. The Las Vegas medical examiner determined that death was due to a heart attack induced by an undetermined amount of cocaine.

I'd be 100% in favor of seeing Kapershit handed a fat, juicy NFL QB contract.
Call his bluff, put him in as a starter, and let's just see how very badly he sucks at the job. Bonus. While I won't be watching any NFL games in real time or by means that they might monetize, I won't mind seeing the highlight reels on the 10pm news, when he gets absolutely obliterated by a succession of star defensive linebackers. Imagine, if you will, a full-steam tackle so utterly devastating that the refs will have to call in a backhoe to dig him out of the turf. Sure. Give him the contract. Just one more step in the NFL's march to the grave. Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at June 28, 2020 10:19 PM (QzJWU) 48

Regarding the school board member sipping a beer, at one time it was common for businessmen to drink at lunch and return to work. In some companies businessmen kept liquor in their offices. This was not just in advertising.
School board meetings are held at night, and are unpaid volunteer work.

Regarding the protester in Alamosa, CO who shot a driver in the back of the head back on June 4, a couple bits of information.
1. The man who was shot is out of the hospital and recuperating at his sister's home in Alamosa, good prospects for full recovery. 2. The shooter (a defense attorney) made $60,000 bail and immediately left town. 3. A group of locals, armed and ready for trouble had shown up downtown to protect businesses from vandalism. 4. The highlight of the encounter was reported thusly: That night and the other three first nights of protest here went peacefully, with little more friction than a Black man calling a gaggle of armed posse members some names and a white man mooning protesters with "All Lives Matter" written on his butt. Which one of you Morons was in Alamosa that day? Posted by: Muldoon at June 28, 2020 10:26 PM (Fc5rx) 78

Just a random thought:
The push is to compel everyone to wear the veil until there is a vaccine. That is, make life miserable with the only solution complying by taking in your tormentor's solution - a vaccine. Ask yourself, did you take part in any negotiation about what you will do and for how long and under what conditions? Related items: News reports that the CCP virus seeks out and kills a disproportionate number of blacks than whites. Then suddenly, a mysterious social event occurs where white millennial women who happen to be major supporters of abortion and eugenics are decrying white privilege and what we must do to elevate the poor blacks who have been tormented by whites for centuries. We must have reparations! Move blacks to the front of the line (except I'll keep my job and position, thankyou). Look! A Vaccine backed by chief eugenics and ZPG supporter Bill Gates who vaxxed the hell out of AFricans only to discover that many of them became sterilized by the vaccine! What? we are rationing this New Vaccine that is mandatory in order to be released from bondage and slavery of The Veil? Its only fair that blacks have access to the new and untested vaccine that will free us from slavery - they are dying because of the CCP and because of White Privilege, we demand that they receive this treatment before any other. Oh shit. It kills people. Ok, Lets wait for version 2.0 and let the poor and exploited Mexicans have it before us privileged whites (meanwhile, you keep wearing that veil!)

It's interesting observing the fear dynamic with masks. The people wearing them (in general; exceptions exist) think that those who don't are gonna kill someone with their selfishness. The people not wearing them think that submitting to the mask will encourage the totalitarians.

Military personnel stationed in Germany were authorized 2 beers (one liter) at lunch, on base. I know this because it was explained to me how it worked, though sadly, not when I was there.
The German civilians working on base ate at their German run Cantina, and their Union had bargained for the right to have 2 beers at lunch. This is still the case, as far as I know.

She was having problems with Menopause, so was playing with changing her hormones, at the same time she was messing with anti anxiety meds (which I didn't know about). Ended up checking herself into a Ward, and never spoke to me again after that. Married some guy she had known since high school 6 months later. Turns out she was seriously co dependent. She wanted someone to run her life for her. She didn't want to have to make decisions. Problem is? I have too many existing commitments to take on someone who can't take care of themselves.

San Franpsycho, I think the classic was a "travesty of a mockery of two shams", which you probably recall. Woody.
Hadrian, oh yes, there have been many RCTs (randomized controlled trials - not regimental combat teams, in this context) of "non-pharmaceutical interventions" and their benefit in control of ILIs (influenza-like illnesses). Some outfit you might have heard from called the CDC just published one a month ago in their emerging disease publication. Yes, the CDC connection does raise credibility questions, but ....... https://preview.tinyurl.com/yckgtrk4 "evidence from 14 randomized controlled trials of these measures [hand hygiene and masks] did not support a substantial effect on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza." Read the whole thing, it's short, it's not *just* as simple as the above excerpt, but it's very close to that simple. And as our new occasional commenter Thesokorus would hasten to correctly point out - the actual health risk to most people from C19 is so limited that the technical efficacy of any counter-measure is almost academic.

Have seen many people wearing the facemask so that it leaves their nose exposed. Only covers their mouth. So maybe wear a mask to cover an ear or on the head. I wonder if the store managers will call the police. Not joking about this. The signs say all must wear a mask. It doesn't say where or how.

In regards to masks, at least in Florida, if you have a concealed carry weapon permit and are carrying, then you are prohibited from wearing a mask. This supersedes any mandatory mask wearing. Just one more reason to get your CCW permit and carry!

I can't for the life of me understand people who seem to actually revel in the chaos that is this bullshit plandemic. I guess when there is no significant meaning to your life, you hop on the bandwagon and ride it for all its worth.
It's astonishing - Portland Reddit is full of people reveling in the fact that an explosion of CCP virus cases is forecast to soon hit Oregon. (Using Bill Gates' incredibly accurate epidemiologic model, of course.) One commenter happily predicted that hospitals in Oregon will be filling up over the next few days. I think there are two driving factors - feeling superior to all the sheeple who aren't treating this like the Black Death (these are the same sorts of people who become vegans), and the hope that this catastrophe will trigger off The Revolution, and overthrow the social order that has left them so terribly, terribly, oppressed.

Maybe one could get masks printed with some really offensive slogans, and wear those in "mask required" situations.
A Klan hood has been test driven at a Walmart which resulted in Karen calling the police and demanding an arrest. I think the goal is to make the Karen uncomfortable but not call-911 uncomfortable. The best I have heard is to crudely sew on a yellow star of David to the mask. Extra points for adding "Jude". But given the profound ignorance of today's society, it may not be recognized for what it is - so the Confederate Battle flag or "MAGA" may be the next best thing.

The Kindergartenization of American society. Anyone who has served in the military knows instinctively how this stuff works, particularly in group settings and initial training, how it affects people, and peer pressure. It is not pretty. It is necessary in a military environment (whose purpose was formerly to protect the nation state, I suppose.) An organization with very few rights - to protect an organization that does have rights. Consider that everything is "free" in the Army, to a large degree. Clothing, lodging, food, and health care. And - they own yer ass, literally and figuratively. Can be punished for a severe sunburn. Why, you may ask? Because one is not authorized to be absent from work due to a sunburn. One can't wear their uniform, or equipment, or perhaps deploy on a moments notice.

(and we didn't even cover the possible medical reasons why someone may choose not to wear the veil) Because not everything is about feelings and ideology. I honestly don't care what mask wearers or non-mask wearers are thinking or feeling about the matter. It is not worth the energy. What I do care about is my government making personal decisions for me and treating me as a child or worse, as chattel.

Here is my tinfoil hat theory for the evening.
Our education system has been treating around 6 million children a year with psychoactive medication for the last decade, from ages as young as 3 or 4 years old. The riotous, malevolent anti-social behavior on display in our streets has not only been a result of a 15 year indoctrination plan specifically mapped out by the education system, but has been augmented by the forced dosing of psychoactive medications which directly inhibited proper maturation of the frontal lobe of the adolescent brain. For this reason, not only do we see the usual violent tendencies from the ruffians from lower income government-level subsistence living, but they are joined by a healthy contingent of middle class medicated zombies from suburbia that lack impulse control. It has all been patiently planned. Posted by: Bitter Clinger at June 28, 2020 11:27 PM (38/p9) 293

So what is meant by this statement?
"The people not wearing them think that submitting to the mask will encourage the totalitarians..." There was no allowance for anything other than emotional reasons. (and we didn't even cover the possible medical reasons why someone may choose not to wear the veil) Posted by:at June 28, 2020 11:16 PM (C+evo) Okay, thank you. That helps me understand where you are coming from. If I understand correctly, you would have liked me to be more comprehensive in my observations. I do acknowledge and agree that there are people who do not wear the mask and do not think about whether or not it has anything to do with totalitarianism and government overreach. I personally do not wear a mask. I think it's too late to stop the spread of the virus and that most everybody who is going to get it has gotten it already. Also, I do not think it benefits me or anyone else. If I am sick with an illness that involves a fever, I stay home out of consideration for others.

bass player John Entwistle, died aged 57 in his hotel room at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Entwistle had gone to bed that night with a stripper, who woke at 10am to find Entwistle cold and unresponsive. The Las Vegas medical examiner determined that death was due to a heart attack induced by an undetermined amount of cocaine.

About two hours ago, the boy came into the house while I was on the phone with my brother. He said "So-and-so beat up our friend, and ran into the park. Can I chase him down there and get him?" "Yes. Go." Sister comes in about ten seconds later shouting "Brother is chasing so-and-so into the park." "OK, what are you still doing here? Go help your brother chase down so-and-so." My brother says "Maybe you should tell Lady YD what her kids are up to." "Nah. She'd just say no." Lady YD comes out a few minutes later: "Where are my kids?" "Your son is leading a gang of children to get revenge on a boy who beat one of their friends. They're at the park." "WHAT WHAT WHAT?!?!" "Yeah, it's time for the boy to do this thing.

" I think it's too late to stop the spread of the virus and that most everybody who is going to get it has gotten it already." - Emmie
Emmie, consider if you will that not only are you almost certainly correct, but that general WHO/CDC/everybody else guidelines are that once a highly transmissible virus infects more than 1% of a population, it is in operational terms "prevalent" (part of that is that it's assumed the actual infection rate is a multiple of the confirmed rate). And (drum roll ......), radical mitigation and broad containment measures no longer make sense. Just like you said. Horse, open barn door, etc. Sweden and a few other places did the "conventional" thing here - *they* were not the experiment, or the radical new thing, *we* were, many other major countries were. If not already, by fall it will be clear that there was little if any benefit to almost all of the efforts and costs borne here. Even Sweden effed up the elderly/nursing care thing, and like the US, minus that component, the death toll will be far from apocalyptic, or even from 1968/69. I'm a bitter opponent of perfection as a standard, and a big fan of learning curves. But I fear that there'll be little learning this time, for several reasons. However obviously wrong our approach (after late April) was, to thinking informed people, there simply won't be an accounting. Posted by: rhomboid at June 28, 2020 11:36 PM (El6T/) 318

vmom, not sure.
A projectile (bullet) propelled by the gas pressure from that HP38 in my 38spl rounds will travel at around 700 fps initially, out the muzzle of the 4-inch Model 66. The 30-06 bullet out of the Garand is closer to 2500 fps. Fired straight up, they'll return to earth accelerating at 32 fps/s, limited aerodynamically to some terminal velocity. Can't imagine the 150 grain bullet from the Garand would return to the surface at 2500 fps. Something far below that. But lethal, yes. What goes up .....

Bullet fired straight up leaves muzzle with an impelling force propelling it. It slows from the initial velocity due to wind resistance plus gravity. When it reaches its apex the velocity is zero. It begins to return toward the ground impelled only by gravity, minus wind resistance. when gravity equals wind resistance, it no longer accelerates and falls at a constant velocity. Upon returning to earth it re-enters the barrel of the gun and due to the lesser velocity lodges halfway down.
Do not re-fire the weapon at this point. Posted by: Muldoon at June 28, 2020 11:43 PM (Fc5rx) 342

Blonde M., of course CA isn't in play on the presidential level, but I think the longer this medically illiterate abuse of the population continues, the greater the chance of some notable blowback in November. "Greater,", as in *some*, vs. the usual none, from a dumbed-down, submissive, useless CA electorate. The death tolls or other tangible "bad" things are not going to be delivered here, no medical systems overwhelmed (away from the border, that is!), and eventually many people will rightly just rebel in some way beyond their low compliance with the (mostly stupid) "rules" of behavior. Posted by: rhomboid ======== Agreed. Another of my recent stories: the Santa Cruz police officially surrendered to happy beach mobs who refused to wear masks and keep six feet away from the nearest stranger while sunning and surfing. Rules HAD been laid out for beach-going, but so few people obeyed that the cops admitted they were overwhelmed and they had no choice but to fully reopen the beaches and let the mobs rule. (Someone here compared it to the pattern we saw with BLM, but I reject that.) This is in ultra-blue Santa Cruz, where everyone believes the right myths -- about climate, about race, presumably about COVID. Of course they'll continue to vote blue, and it's a shame -- I bet someone with anti-big-government ideas in service of the citizens of Santa Cruz could get some attention.

My wife vehemently disagrees with me that the riots caused the spike in new cases. I said look at the timing it cant be a coincidence. She says no its because nobody is wearing masks and everyone is out partying. This is what happens when you marry someone who voted for Gore because his daughters were cool.

..Terminal velocity is the same for all objects no?
Posted by: Hotgas VIP Member at June 28, 2020 11:42 PM (m1H25) No. Skydiver falling in the conventional "layout" position will hit appx. 125mph descent velocity. Let the same skydiver assume the "pike" diver's position, and now he'll reach T.V. at appx. 225 mph d.v. Terminal Velocity is determined by air density, aerodynamic drag in three forms: parasite drag, form drag and frontal area. The sleeker the object (to certain mathematical understandings of "sleek"), the faster the object can fall until it's aerodynamic drag equals the force of gravity on said object, resulting in Terminal Velocity. The weight of an object does not necessarily affect Terminal Velocity, except that the heavier object might accelerate more rapidly in the descent. And also, the heavier object may well run out of atmosphere in which to find Terminal Velocity, and continue to accelerate until impact with the ground. A good example of this is the WWII British "Tallboy" bomb, weighing in at well over 10,000 lbs, with a very sleek shape, indeed. Said to be transonic, or possibly becoming supersonic just before impact, it is an example of a object continuing to accelerate until impact. Most were dropped from between 10,000 and 20,000 ft. altitude above sea level. The storied tungsten "Rods from God" so discussed here? They'd de-orbit at Mach 25, being slowed by atmospheric drag to a mere Mach 7 or so before impact. Oh, and a mere bullet, fired on a true vertical, will for an instant, just become a still, motionless object at somewhere about 3,000 ft. above the point of shooting. Then, it will act like a pebble or rock, dropped from the same altitude. It will not on it's on find or assume the "nose down" attitude necessary to a Terminal Velocity above it's own lateral shape's maximum potential. Only if fired on a ballistic arc, will it continue in a nose-forward path, like a thrown football, until impact. In which case it will also retain a very potentially deadly velocity. /nerd/geek Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at June 28, 2020 11:57 PM (QzJWU) 375

..A ballistic arc lands at a much greater velocity than straight up and down? Firing straight up is difficult.
Posted by: USNtakim at June 29, 2020 12:00 AM (0OmEj) Absolutely. A Win. .300 mag. fired at a target at the 1,000 yard line, will leave the muzzle at +/- 3100 ft. per second. Rise above the direct line of sight between the scope and bullseye will be, (pulling outta my butt, not going to look up the tables right now), about 5 ft. at about 650 yards, where the arc will begin to descend towards said bullseye. When it hits the target, it will still be exceeding the speed of sound, holding about 1,800 ft. per second of velocity. Conversely, the same rifle, with the very next cartridge fired out of the box, but vertically. That bullet will ascend to maybe 3,500 ft. above the muzzle (.300 Mag tends to go further than AK-47), become for an instant, vertically motionless, and then begin to fall as nothing but a non-ballistic, purely gravitational object. It might accelerate to a dangerous, deadly velocity. But it won't be anywhere *near* supersonic, as it WILL be falling on it's side, and likely tumbling with no dynamic stability whatsoever. /nerd/geek Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at June 29, 2020 12:09 AM (QzJWU) 405

I remember reading some interesting stuff about bullets, terminal velocity and the arc. As mentioned above, a bullet fired at a very high angle will start tumbling on the way down, and that will reduce terminal velocity way down. What was interesting, if I remember is the transonic range. That's very chaotic and when a bullet slows through this range, the trajectory becomes unpredictable. It will tumble and go all over the place. In the subsonic range, it's stable, and in supersonic range, it's stable. But the transonic range is where it goes to hell. So, if your trajectory allows the bullet to slow into the transonic region before it hits the target (or the ground), it will tumble.

It's interesting what several commenters are saying about masks and pulse-ox. I saw a video where a young lady said she had asthma and any type of mask did not lower her pulse-ox. But I did not see how that could be possible. So I considered that she might not be telling the truth. Might even be a paid actress. She was cute and appealing.

Just musing out loud. Is it possible to fire a bullet on a true vertical? The angular momentum of the Earth's rotation would give it some tiny amount of lateral movement when it left the muzzle. If you were to compensate for that by firing it slightly angled opposite the direction of the Earth's rotation, it would hit a spot on the Earth's surface upon its return that would be different than the spot where it left, even though it traveled up and down in a true vertical. OTOH, if you shot it up in a true vertical relative to the Earth's surface, it would actually travel in a very steep parabola. I know they have to worry about this stuff with long-range artillery and rockets.

About masks: This past week I had my 6-month "how is your cancer doing?" check up, and they always take vitals. The nurse commented, "You're O2 is 96%, that's great for wearing a mask." I was wearing the a mask I'd made from quilter's cotton, and I said something to that effect. I was surprised she commented on it, but I was also surprised because my O2 is always right at the top of the range, 98-99%. For all the crap I've had go wrong with me, my lungs have always been perfect. Point being, even flimsy cotton masks impair O2 levels in people without any other impairment. Not enough in my case to cause any kind of a problem, but definitely a difference. (Cancer screening: excellent, don't have to go back for a year! Thank you, Lord!)
Emmie, if you don't mind, where are you getting your online instruction certification? I would like to complete something similar this summer, too.

274 Another interesting article, from a physician, on COVID counting rules and common sense:
https://preview.tinyurl.com/ycmp4pgo Posted by: rhomboid from the article: So you may ask: why are we continuing to report increasing numbers of cases of COVID as though it were BAD news for America? Rather than as GOOD news, i.e, that the thousands of healthy Americans testing positive (also known as "asymptomatic") are indicative of the presence of herd immunity protecting themselves and many of us from potential future assaults by variants of COVID? Why did we as a society stop sending our children to schools and camps and sports activities? Why did we stop going to work and church and public parks and beaches? Why did we insist that healthy persons stay at home, rather than observing the evidence-based, medically prudent method of identifying those who were sick and isolating them from the rest of the population - advising the sick to stay at home and allowing the rest of society to function normally? And, while we witnessed the gatherings of protesters in recent days with little concerns for COVID-19 spread among these asymptomatic persons, most certainly many are hoping that the increasing case numbers for COVID-19 will discourage folks from coming to any more rallies for certain candidates for political office. Fear is a powerful weapon............... --- The DEATH rate, in the end the only meaningful statistic, continues to fall. And we know well what portions of the population are affected, those that are not, and most of the reasons why. But we as adults are not allowed by Government Goons to make our own decisions. Because.... It was never about COVAD, it was about unseating Donald Trump as President. COVAD fear and loathing is the latest tool in this clumsy and heavy-handed action.

Posted by: Caesar North of the Rubicon at June 29, 2020 12:39 AM (jK8Z7) The NULL of your question would be to fire the experiment from directly atop either the North or South pole. Eliminates the Corialis Effect, to a mathematical degree approaching true zero. At which point, all of my other points as to the not-ballistically-stabile nature of a falling rifle bullet, would still apply. Corialis Effect in normal riflery, doesn't begin to show in the caluclations under about 800 yards, and begins to be a real factor starting at about 1,200 yards. Rifle shot trajectory distances, not "vertically fired" tomfoolery. And the artillery mafia are masters at the math of the ballistic solutions, above all others.

Does your school system offer professional development classes? Is there somewhere you can take Instructional Design courses? Maybe something is available through a professional organization?

The article I linked up above by a doctor in FL touches on this issue of C19 stats - he discusses the problem with "case" definition (different than most/all major diseases that have reporting systems), but there are myriad problems with fatality #s as well. Remember, month or more ago, Dr Scarf publicly throwing out that there were problems, and the #s might be as much as 25% too high?
I get "new disease". I get uncertainty. I get caution. I get conservative approach to certain aspects of potentially huge health threats. I have never gotten such fuzzy definitions of "cases", and such expansive and potentially misleading definition of fatalities from a disease, as we have seen from the outset.

A few personal (i.e., absolutely subject to being destroyed by empirical evidence) snobservations on why S.F. is inexplicably peaceful. (I do not accept the "you don't destroy your own capital" theory. Zombie Napoleon agrees.)
1) Hillz baby, we gotz hillz. Seriously, get a topo map. Even streets that seem relatively flat, are only that over the course of a few blocks. After awhile, that small incline adds up. 2) We have very few black folk. The Libs got rid of most of them starting in the 60's. Conversely, we have a lot of Asians and Latins (both of whom are not really big on rioting, AFAIK) and neither of them subscribe to the "destroy your home and Uncle Sam will give you what you want" theory (again, AFAIK). 3) We have really, really big money here that is actually in city limits and not protected by a moat, a minefield, and a private infantry battalion like Bill Gates near Seattle. I guarantee you that Nancy either already understood this or was told in no uncertain terms -- minimize the destruction babe or else. I used to joke that as a lawyer I made less $ than the butlers of some of my clients. 4) Challenging street layouts. It's a bitch to get around this city, especially certain parts. Winding streets, narrow streets, lots of "no thru access" (and backed up by buildings, not plywood), and we don't have a traditional, central downtown. 5) Drug dealers. They're businessmen/women. They do not want violent crime in their markets. They just want to know what you want to buy from them. (I'm not talking about the oddball tweaker or crackhead trying to scam somebody outta some cash.) I have a studio apartment in the TL (pied-a-terre) and me or my gf parked my car there, on the street, several nights a week for two years with no break-ins. (But the parking and street sweeping tix!) How could that be in the Tenderloin? The Latin "businessmen" operated on certain street corners all night so we'd park near them. The last thing they want is someone making broken windows sounds. 6) Seattle, Portland, and Minne have simply eclipsed us as to how far left the governments and residents are. 7) Oakland. Much easier to get into, get out of, and governed by the stupidest of the stupid. Pull the annual Alameda County grand jury reports -- Joakland gets nailed, at least once, every year. Also, aside from a few sections, it's mostly flat. Don't get me wrong: I am very glad it's quiet here. My (now ex-) gf recently adopted a rescue kitty from the local SPCA (I'm his godfather) and they need it quiet. I'll send some pics for next Saturday. Apparently he had some kind of feline-susceptible cancer removed from his neck. Possible it could come back which scared everyone off, except us. His ear flaps also fold down forward due to infection scar tissue, and he had to have 1/2 his tail amputated due to what looks like injury from being pulled hard and since the hair hasn't grown back yet, I call him Fingerbutt. He looks a bit like an orange Maine coon runt (he's about 9# at 6 years old) with mutton chops. He's got a serious demeanor but he's very affectionate and loves to rub a hard fist. Taking care of him keeps ex-gf from obsessing about what happened to Dorkie Dork. Anyways, that's what's up here. Maybe our 2 or 3 other Rice-A-Ronis can comment.

Real key is how they can get outside agitators there. And does it fit their agenda. San Fran is a very Liberal city, but its surrounded by the bay. So if they come in from San Jose? That's two bridges. Easily closed. From inland? A couple of highways. San Fran is a Death Trap for a perp who wants to get OUT of the city. Now, Oakland? They can either come from San Jose (where there have been problems), or from inland. Problem is that most of inland would once more have to come up ONE highway, across Altamont Pass. The population of San Fran is not a BLM crowd, ergo they would have to be imported. I think you've been saved by geography. Posted by: Romeo13 at June 29, 2020 02:33 AM (NgKpN) 526

My tiny 13 lb Maine Coon (Scamp) is tiny only by Maine Coon standards. Most of those weigh in at better than 20 lbs. His sister is (solid black) Bonnie. Both are now 10-1/2 years old.

In fact, thinking on it. It kind of proves the targets were pre planned. Did they hit New York? Well, not really. Why? bridges there limit escape routes. San Fran? not really. Hollywood? can escape into greater LA AND three main avenues of egress. San Diego? they hit places like San Ysidro early, but the Hispanics there shut them down. Now, look at the terrain of the places they DID hit, and just a very cursory review it looks like they hit Blue Areas, where there were also plenty of escape routes.

I'm skeptical about your idea of any actual intelligent political message or movement gaining traction. CA voters represent the platonic ideal of de-Americanized dumbed-down prosperity. Posted by: rhomboid ======= Mind you, this would have to be fought on an issue-by-issue basis, e.g. the Seattle waitress who discovered that the $15/hr minimum wage is bad, and the Boston artist who discovered that destroyign the gig market is bad.

527 Romeo, compare and contrast :
Authorities in Oklahoma announced late last week that they were charging alleged rioters with terrorism and assault, saying that they would not put up with "this lawlessness here." Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater reportedly made the decision to get tough on the rioters in an effort to curb any future potential riots. https://tinyurl.com/y7p8ue48 Daily Wire, June 28 THIS is how you stop the lawlessness.

FWIW, a sufficiently re-gentrified SF, in the parts where it counts, would result in a CONSERVATIVE San Francisco. I read, about 20 years ago, residents of the Haight-Ashbury, the once-upon-a-time epicenter of the Flower/Love-In/Hippie/Whatever Culture (I was a few '60' fossils there in the late '90s) no longer welcomed the latest Hippie/social misfits. They were real upset with the homeless sleeping on their streets ... this was in 1998, IIRC, in the San Jose Mercury Sunday edition of Parade. I postulate that very many residents are voting the way they do, and (virtue) signalling as they do, because they ... ... I don't know; want to "Keep the Faith", "Resist!", "Stick it to The Man", "Keep the Dream Alive" ... ... or, much more likely, now have a great life with theri kids, in their very-toney neighborhoods, and don't want to see it trashed by the Powers-That-Be.

*arms crossed, teacher "looking over the eyeglasses look"* Posted by: Fourth Grade Teacher Mrs. Miklos at June 29, 2020 05:01 AM (QzkSJ) You know, the odd thing is that we do not have more rocket explosions or radio-logical accidents. Look at the early days of the US rocket program, then imagine you are an idiot. Ditto when dealing with radioactive material- although that can be explained by picking up a demon core just means they pour your remains into a hole in the desert, not a big explosion.

Posted by: Downcast at June 29, 2020 06:35 AM (xgpfE) It is very interesting that much liberal culture requires abandoning the entire enlightenment of western culture. Self-governance, self-control, scientific principles of theory, test, and document (repeat as needed), and liberal (free speech and thoughts) ideas just dropped for the current narrative. Looking at many of the intersectionality (cultural marxism) ideas requires you to abandon manly STEM fields. And is that NOT the idea of much of the movement? If a student cannot make in STEM or Biz school (and about 75% in college cannot) then where do they go and what do they do? The go the fill-in-the-blanks STUDIES programs. Program that by design ignore science and scientific methods and replace that with feelings. PS Most of the feeling is that I am oppressed because of my body parts, color, or sex life.

So looking at the Hopkins Wu-Flu site, it would seem that the US has something like 2,500,000 cases.
And India has around 500,000. India has a population of around 1,300,000,000. US has a population of around 330,000,000. India has four times our population, and one fifth the number of cases?

True, when you can get dysentery from drinking the bottled water there, a little cough is no biggy
I was talking to a Vietnam vet about the Plannedemic in general and immune systems in particular. I asked the question: "Why is it that Mexicans can drink their water but Americans get Montezuma's Revenge." Then an explanation came back about dysentery and he originally thought that the locals had a built in immunity. Until he got to Vietnam and then discovered why the locals there are thin and spindly. Because many of them suffer dysentery too. Yet another difference in Western civilization and others - while we do something about the problem, others just suck it up and live with it as if nothing could be done.

659 Just got back from our grocery store that is opened 24 hours again.
Of course masks, of course one way aisles. - Are they wiping down the freezer door handles and credit card machines at the checkout counter between each customer? No? Huh. That's weird. Deadly super contagious virus and all. Posted by: Moron Robbie is a bridge at June 29, 2020 07:07 AM (WzgyJ) And not just wiping things down. Disinfectants need dwell time. Like 10 minutes or so.

Posted by: Iron Mike Golf at June 29, 2020 07:51 AM (8C7+r) About 3 minutes for this, I believe, and dwell time depends on the disinfectant. It's all BS anyway, I gave up the constant disinfecting. It's insane. There are lots of coronaviruses out there, we've all had them, and there will always be more strains...just like the flu. Posted by: CN at June 29, 2020 07:55 AM (ONvIw) 762
For CBD and NGU there is a very good polish deli in the Trenton Farmers Market. Good Amish place too.

You mock this utopian dipshittery, while all the while believing just as strongly in it, as the left does.
Conservatives believe in equality just as much as the left. Conservatives believe in anti-racism just as much as the left. Conservatives believe in sodomy just as much as the left. Conservatives believe in feminism just as much as the left. You act superior but you believe this dumb dumb shit and, you can say you don't all you want, your actions prove you liars.
