Regarding the Navy's LSC - programs develop a momentum of their own, every military service will tell you that.
For those that exist I say dedicate them to ASW since they are essentially small frigates and that is the small frigate role. Posted by: Mikey NTH -The Outrage Outlet Proudly Sponsors Wokeapalooza - The Riot Festival of Summer! at July 23, 2020 09:50 PM (0QYMt) 30

Actually Littoral ships may have a use. Just not how they designed it. I think the design was meant more to put some shipyards back in business in strategic locales. (Cong. districts)
We are short on modern fast boats for inshore patrol with all the new bells and whistles in radar, sonar and tracking. But by the time you load all that stuff on AND make it stealthy it's just too big to operate close in. And what is the point of stealth for a boat? They produce a wake and are revealed in that way. It's not like a sub or even a jet which has all the sky to hide in. All one needs to do is set a few pickets outside your sally port entrance and watch for wakes. That and netting will detect most ships quite easily. Radar is not needed. Especially with Satellite surveillance. It was a payoff. And they should never have built as many as they did. But it was a good learning experience. We learned we need to get rid of some Admirals who've actually run a ship. Posted by: jakee308 at July 23, 2020 10:12 PM (LH/PE) 116
In regards to Baldilocks excellent blog on race relations:
I have discovered this over time, as a teacher or one that engages in conversation with another, it is largely pointless to try to explain or teach someone that has no interest in listening to anything you have to say. I took a gig teaching people to bartend a few years back, and it has really shaped my perspective in a lot of ways. Some people I train are eager learners, most are attentive to the point of completion, and a handful over the years have had little desire to hear or learn anything. Early on, I tended to give extra attention to those that struggled by trying to get them to pay attention and to work extra with them. But I gradually realized that it wasn't my extra effort that was lacking, it was theirs. Worse yet, I sacrificed time with those that were eager learners to focus on those that were not even trying. I eventually settled on focusing my efforts on those I could help, and letting those that desired failure to fail. To teach those that were most adept and most interested everything I could and letting those that were destined to fail, fail. I rarely got a complaint out of the failures because they knew why they failed. Intrinsically they knew they failed because they suck. And that's kind of how it is with discussing politics. If someone has no desire to learn or become enlightened or accept logic and nuance, there is no point in talking to them. Just excuse yourself from the conversation unless you are relatively captive. Just focus your limited energy on those that can be helped, those eager to learn. Too often we sacrifice limited resources on hopeless causes instead of throwing everything at the few that can be reached where success can be found. I think Jesus discussed this so long ago when he said "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you."

Awesome ONT, WeirdDave! The intercom fart video is my new favorite.
Speaking of racism, here is an excellent video by Youtuber Bode Lang. It is an interview of Brett Weinstein by Joe Rogan. Weinstein is the former professor from Evergreen College who some had hoped would have been woke due his savage treatment by his students. Wrong. Weinstein is as big an asshat academic as the rest. Bode Lang eviscerates Weinstein's logic in this video. It's long but it is packed with substantive evidence of the lie of "systemic racism" being solely the fault of Democrats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-knazRlgoN4 Posted by: fly gal at July 23, 2020 10:19 PM (6CtMt) 144

You need them to understand and be motivated as to why they want to learn this. When I took the course, it was an all Guy class... and my first lecture was on all the things you need to know before you go snow skiing for the first time. Basic equipment.

116 In regards to Baldilocks excellent blog on race relations:
I have discovered this over time, as a teacher or one that engages in conversation with another, it is largely pointless to try to explain or teach someone that has no interest in listening to anything you have to say." I have stopped discussing Wuhan flu stats with my family for that reason. They say 'it's all about the science!" but have zero interest in the actual stats for deaths and hospitalizations, which are the only important numbers. I had to go into the city today and saw a ridiculous number of healthy looking young people wearing masks outside, including people who were jogging and bicycling. On a beautiful summer day.

Support plus contracts. Lot of winners of tax dollars, but the crew does not win. Posted by: NaCly Dog at July 23, 2020 10:28 PM (u82oZ) A couple of years ago, I received a specially built piece of equipment on a job site. It was thirty feet long, six feet high and weight several tons. I also received a 120 page document in English and Spanish, listing the design history and usage of the equipment, force calculations for (as near as I could see) every single joint and weld on the piece. It described thread pitches, maximum loads, tolerances, safety factors. It did not, however, tell me how to fucking install it properly. These guys get so wrapped up in the math, so tunnel visioned into How Do I DO It Perfectly, that they never stand up and look out the window. LOOK! Look how small I made the pump package! It's smaller than a shoebox! Good job. Only thing is, you better hope I never have to take the top off because it's put together with Allen keys and two of them are behind this pump body and I need a twelve inch 12mm Allen to fucking get in there.

As I understand it... the LCS are prepositioned in Japan, the ME, East and West coasts. Yes, they require about 50 sailors yet compared to, say a Hauk (Norway) or a Houbie (China).
A Hauk can fire off about 4-8 medium range missiles and then is useless. Same for the Houbie. The LCS, if it survives, can do other shit. Assuming the helo's are operational. I'm not a fan... really. I've had to game out using these boats for various scenarios and they DO have some usefulness. Posted by: Martini Farmer at July 23, 2020 10:40 PM (3H9h1) 218

I find Korean food interesting. It may be because, on one vlog, she goes outside, gets the veggies out of the garden and cooks them up. The house has big earthenware jars for making soybean paste, kimchi and plum syrup. I can see how the dishes developed from what they had. Then there's the interesting stuff like corn dogs. And they have BBQ. I don't really care for Thai, Vietnamese or Japanese food, at least what I've had.

I was in the Navy for 4 years and thoroughly enjoyed reading the Naval Institute's magazine, which was called Proceedings. Enjoyed it so much I subscribed and read it for years after I left the service for law school in 1992.
But then the dreaded Littoral Combat Ship became a "Thing", and suddenly it swemes that the only way you could get published in Proceedings was to type the word "Littoral" (which means "close to shore") at least a dozen times in each article. It got so bad that eventually I just stopped reading what had been one of my favorite publications and canceled it. And thus my last connection to the Navy was severed. DIE LCS DIE!!!!

We took the baby there for her first trip to a restaurant, and the lady wanted to know why her head was so big. Lady YD explained the problem and how it was going to be corrected soon.

So, some Canadians put graffiti on a monument in Ontario. The monument is for Polish members of a Waffen SS division. The graffiti was 'Nazi Monument.' The graffiti is being investigated as a hate crime. Others are arguing that there can be no hate crime against a monument to the SS.
I am not sure what to even think about this one. Posted by: Aetius451AD Work Laptop at July 23, 2020 10:56 PM (cI3Q7) 271
267 Solar Cycle Science
The trough of the last solar cycle is behind us. The new sunspot shows reverse polarity, and solar activity is climbing slowly. The bad news is the expected peak intensity at solar cycle max will be lower that the previous 2 cycles. Think a pile 10 high, then a pile 5 high in 2009. The new pile will be 3 high.

Fake crowds and fake crowd noise for sports reveal that the sports action heroes/activists are unable to command a market without a surrounding circus.
Please note that the carnie effects include: the B movie (and increasingly political) announcer voiceovers, lots of blaring music, video game like flashing lights. But inducing the feeling that one is part of roaring mob appears to be, in the view of the league, imperative. Posted by: Gilded Age II at July 23, 2020 10:56 PM (BRkq2) 273
I had to go into the city today and saw a ridiculous number of healthy looking young people wearing masks outside, including people who were jogging and bicycling. On a beautiful summer day. It's insane.
Posted by: Donna&&&&&V. at July 23, 2020 10:34 PM (HabA/) Mom and I went to the farmers' market in our local city, which despite being heavily GOP has slapped down a draconian "you will wear masks in all public places or else!!!" order. The market is outdoors obviously, and it was hot today, so I got pissed and said "screw it, I'm not putting on a mask unless someone says something to me." So I went around unmasked the whole time; there were maybe a half-dozen others without one, but no one said anything to me or gave me dirty looks. Felt liberating.

Trump cancels RNC convention - I'm okay with this actually.
Conventions for incumbent presidents are really sort of useless in today's tech age other than to rally, I suppose, the faithful, perhaps rub elbows with the connected, see delegates making an ass of themselves on national TV, etc. All you really need is a vote on an agreed upon platform, make a few speeches on TV and you're done. The only thing important now is being able to campaign effectively and Covid-19 shut down by blue state governors are designed to prevent the Trump campaign from rally his troops there - that's really why Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania governors are enforcing them so vigorously right now. Biden's campaign cannot use rallies...or even press and donor mixers at this point, since their man is actually drooling into a dixie cup and isn't aware of anything accept he'd like the red Jello now, please nurse.

anyway, that brings me to my question - do you guys think Indians tend to be left-leaning (ultra liberal)?
******* I have limited experience being a homemaker... In the Obama years, it was a foregone conclusion that all voted for him. They really saw it as Obama is for all the immigrants. The repubs are labeled as "anti-immigrant" so they won't vote for them. In reality, they want the freedom (no pun intended) to marry according to their customs (i.e. family arranged marriage), then raise the kids here and push for very hard schooling, like the other Asian families. Education is the priority. Many have dual income high tech jobs here. Are they socialist? Well, the Indian gov is more socialist than ours being that it is a child of Britain. But these families are super hard working. Many return home to family every year for an extended time. The kids are quite Americanized, but in the school system. Back in India, abortion is quite normalized, but family prized. So it is a mixed bag... who knows.. Posted by: sassy at July 23, 2020 11:18 PM (tUGnI) 345

The story of Poland and WW2 should be taught right alongside the holocaust, but instead is conveniently ignored due to the west's appeasement of communist (which is part of the reason there is a Polish story to WW2) We allowed the Nazis and Commies to team up, to take over Poland, and didn't do shit about it. Then when the US entered the war the commies crapped themselves and turned on the Nazis, so we just decided to ignore their war crimes.

I worked for an all Chinese real estate brokerage a few years ago. The manager's son had a very large head and all of the brokers in the office would always compliment the child on having a large head. The Chinese definitely have a thing where they think that a large head on a child means Brilliance. I know your daughter has a medical condition that you deal with and I'm also sure that she's going to grow up to be brilliant. Just thought this was an interesting thing from my experience.

Wash dishes by hand? Posted by: SMH ======== Already reverted to that. If the solenoid that opens the water inlet dies, no water flies. Call the warranty repair...... Posted by: Sponge - China is Asshoe! I know I have removed the water regulator thingie from every shower head I have installed since the government started requiring them. Posted by: redbanzai ========= Another clue... which I'm not going to share with the KitchenAid repair person for fear they'll say I've voided the warranty.... I also had my faucet replaced. The faucet was screwed up, and of course the plumber mucked around with lines and whatever under the sink (hey, I posted about that -- remember? Hot water was squirting all over the kitchen floor). But the dishwashwer worked for a few cycles after that if I'm not mistaken -- although I could be mistaken. And hte plumber came back out and looked under the sink and said everything was hooked up properly. Oh I wish I was handy. Anyway, KitchenAid repair is coming next week and it's under warranty. I don't want to tell them about anything other than the regulator. By the way I mean the regulator for the whole house, not just the appliance. I agree, Miklos, it shouldn't be related. the shower, tub, other sinks aren't dribbling.

Well, I got the heavy-duty welding on my shop ramp done today. I made an extra stiffener for the middle out of 3X4 angle steel, and had to butt-weld two lengths together to get the size I needed. And it fit perfectly, too. I was pleased with that. But once I had it welded in, and walked on it, it seemed...springy.
So, I took two small off-cuts left over from making it up, and dug a small trench with a hand trowel right under the middle of the piece, and laid one offcut on the bottom of the trench, and jammed the other vertically between that and the stiffener rib, and welded it on place. Fixed that right up. Feels like concrete under foot, now. One little pillar in the right place. And I got the wood for the decking. 2X8 pressure-treated spruce, 10-footers. $17 each! And lumber is in short supply. Many sawmills shut down due to WuFlu. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at July 24, 2020 12:07 AM (EvS6K) 478

In RE: Kitchen Appliances
The appliances came with the house when I bought it 5 years ago. The oven ceased to work. Not a big deal since I do not do much baking. One nephew had a job delivering and installing appliances, so he brought over a used oven and took away my old one - free. My dishwasher had just quit. He looked it over and pronounced it dead, not worth fixing. So for the past 3 1/2 years I have washed dishes by hand because - really? When the fridge or the used oven dies, then I will replace all of those appliances. And considering I just spent beaucoup bucks to get the central air going, I am in no hurry to replace anything.

anyway, that brings me to my question - do you guys think Indians tend to be left-leaning (ultra liberal)?
It's probably 80% hard left, maybe higher for the women. A lot are highly "educated" and buy into all the SJW nonsense they internalize at Ivy league/top tier schools just like highly educated white women. The older generation somehow internalized that republicans are racist and pass that onto their kids, too. Going to Indian gatherings is like a DNC meeting. In the 90s it was how awesome Clinton was, then how awful Bush was, then how awesome Obama is, and now how Trump is the worst thing ever. So basically like CNN on repeat. When I was a teenager I would argue with the "uncles" with facts but they would dismiss me as "too young to understand". My dad is hard left socialist and out right despises many racial groups including Jews and Asians. He's a typical democrat and seeing how dysfunctional my dad is turned me into a Moron more than anyone else. Posted by: f3wl at July 24, 2020 12:50 AM (at8K1) 558

Missing from the article on the Navy ship is the billions wasted and if the Pentagon has any contractual way to recoup the losses as a result of the vast number of latent defects in the LCS that render them useless. As an ex- conventional traditional Frigate sailor this pisses me the hell off. We had a huge fleet of Perry-class FFG guided missile frigates that were tested and refined since the 70s which were scrapped in the Clinton wipeout of our armed forces. The Clinton "balanced budget" - base closures and weapons sales and scrapping.

She was shocked that when she showed up, instead of a happy intense group also excited to be able to write the book for a new class .... they were cynical, despondent, and dark, since the new class was ..... crap.

KitchenAid has been in my family for years. Good brand when it actually shoots water.
Posted by: Blonde Morticia at July 24, 2020 01:06 AM (G51Gf) My mom had one that lasted 30 years. They only changed it because the kitchen was getting completely remodeled for the second time around and that dishwasher was put in during the first new kitchen, and stayed with the first new kitchen the whole time. I'm pretty sure that was an American one made by hobart. Meanwhile, I went through 3 dishwashers in the last 27 years. The latest is a maytag that I put in 10 years ago or so. Its quiet and works really good. I don't want to say that too loud or else I might end up with dishwasher #4. lol Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at July 24, 2020 01:19 AM (9Om/r) 606

AOP - the racks have a thick coating on the wire - not sure sandblasting would work? I have puzzled over ways to do an expedient field repair, just to keep it going til some kind of system failure. For now, just minding weight distribution and placement of certain items suffice.
An appliance repair guy I had in to check the ovens gave me redundant advice about keeping it till it died. I would think that there are *some* good new dishwashers, but like many, experience with several kinds of appliances in the last 10-15 years gives me a generally negative view, vs. things made decades ago.

Tonypete, I don't mind expensive - IF there's value for money, which with appliances (for me) means effective, and last a long time. I really should start collecting Horde-sourced recos on dishwashers - my revered one could die any day.

Re: Strzock. There were hundreds of people involved in the multiyear domestic surveillance operation against candidate Trump, then President-elect Trump, then President Trump himself. I put them in four categories: 1. The true conspirators, who acted out of ideological zeal; 2. The easily fooled, who thought there actually were Russians to be found, in no small part because they were predisposed to believe the story; 3. The overly trusting, who believed there were Russians to be found because their chain of command told them so; and 4. The careerists, who knew the story was bogus, but went along with the operation because Hillary was going to win, and no one wanted to be on the wrong side, and then when she lost, went into full bureaucratic CYA mode.
Strzock was part of group #1, but if he's talking, it's to convince Durham that he was group #2. Posted by: Caesar North of the Rubicon at July 24, 2020 01:40 AM (jK8Z7) 625

Not a chance this is a new "normal". But that is little thanks to US institutions (incompetent and perhaps worse), the political class (self explanatory), a stunning % of the population.
Just how long the science-free, stupid, degrading vandalism of the economy and society will continue before it ends is not clear, however. The school opening thing is really sort of a litmus test. The students - and teachers and staff - face no more "danger" than they do every year from flu. Most of these groups face, effectively, zero risk. Literally every closure, or restriction of any kind (including sports, room capacity - ANY of it) is indefensible, and obviously so. And yet millions of students around the country may be kept out of school. Given the social and economic wreckage this will cause, the lack of a revolt of some kind here might tell us just how far gone the country is.

And it's getting worse.
Saw a jaw-dropping NPR headline (presumably from their website) - about Trump's EO regarding use of illegal alien census data for congressional apportionment. It is to "Protect White Power" - I'm not making this up. And Frontline, a PBS vehicle, has a "conspiracy theory" episode coming - apparently with the ludicrous claim that Trump (of course!) has "mainstreamed" "conspiracy" theories. I've pretty much concluded I will no longer be able to humor/shelter/manage so many clueless and misinformed - but not otherwise stupid - people I know, not after the last few months. It's entirely predictable - they are where they are because they've never been thoughtful about things, never had experience outside a fairly narrow channel, and always been the captives of "mainstream media". But the concrete, extreme, nearly universal nature of the 2 ongoing disasters - the evaporation of science/common sense/individual liberty, and the tornado of racist totalitarianism leveling the civic culture - may make it impossible to go on as before.

232 I was in the Navy for 4 years and thoroughly enjoyed reading the Naval Institute's magazine, which was called Proceedings. Enjoyed it so much I subscribed and read it for years after I left the service for law school in 1992.
But then the dreaded Littoral Combat Ship became a "Thing", and suddenly it swemes that the only way you could get published in Proceedings was to type the word "Littoral" (which means "close to shore") at least a dozen times in each article. It got so bad that eventually I just stopped reading what had been one of my favorite publications and canceled it. And thus my last connection to the Navy was severed. DIE LCS DIE!!!!

Texas Southern University's history professor Roger Hart, who closely monitors escalating U.S.-China tensions,
China was able to basically eradicate the disease with about 80,000 cases, about 5,000 deaths. Yes, there may be differences in the way we calculate, but rough figures we have are about four million cases now and about 140,000 deaths. This did not need to happen," Hart said. Mr Hart, you sir are a fucking idiot. Real Chinese death from this will be 3 to 6 Million. And anyone with a brain know the 4 millions cases is a worthless number as it combine about 30% false positives and positive antibody test.

Ever since I assumed my present office my main purpose has been to work for the pacification of Europe, for the removal of those suspicions and those animosities which have so long poisoned the air. The path which leads to appeasement is long and bristles with obstacles. The question of Czechoslovakia is the latest and perhaps the most dangerous. Now that we have got past it, I feel that it may be possible to make further progress along the road to sanity.
