Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Overnight Open Thread [11/23/2021]Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way-- Leo Nikolaevitch Tolstoi Fifteen men on a Dead Man's Chest ---- Robert Louis Stevenson Let every man honor and love the land of his birth and the race from which he springs and keep their memory green. It is a pious and honorable duty. But let us have done with British-Americans and Irish-Americans and German-Americans, and so on, and all be Americans... If a man is going to be an American at all let him be so without any qualifying adjectives; and if he is going to be something else, let him drop the word American from his personal description.-- Henry Cabot Lodge The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure that it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.-- Ernest Hemingway This is a fascinating website that allows one to juxtapose photographs from Operation Overlord, the invasion of Normandy, with the current scenes. Want to feel on top of the world where the craggy peaks meet the clouds? The 2-billion-year-old Mount Roraima is where you should be head. Made famous for inspiring Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novel, 'The Lost World', and more recently Disney's Pixar film, Up, the mountain rises more than 9200 feet above the ground making it the tallest peak of the country. Roraima, a massive tepui (table-top mountain), lies on the Guyana Shield and its sandstone cliffs ride straight up from the lush rainforests all around. At the peak, the vegetation is scanty, yet the vast majority of species of fauna exist only on tepuis like Roraima. This magical landscape features surreal rock formations, the quartz crystals of Crystals Valley, and endemic orchids, carnivorous plants, and the intriguing Roraima bush toad. Mount Roraima is definitely a must-see destination in Guyana.

"Cleaning the house is exhausting. I oughta do this a bit more frequently. "
Yeh, we did that yesterday. Top to bottom in about 6 hours. Now I'm stiff and half bent over at the waist from it. But Little VIA is coming home for Thanksgiving, and we suspect will be on deployment next year, so it's kinda a big thing this year. PLUS, he is bringing his girlfriend for the holiday. So clean the house, and cook like crazy is Mrs VIA's guiding principle. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice. Asymptomatic raycist at November 23, 2021 10:26 PM (3D/fK) 106

Never get tired of looking at pictures of the Milky Way. It is said that astronauts sometimes become mesmerized to the point of almost becoming catatonic the first time they space-walk and see the MW unfiltered by the atmosphere/smeared by Earth's light.
My goal is to live another 32 years (to 90) and then take a rocket into space and be cast adrift to just slowly drift off to my final sleep while staring at the MW in all its glory. Though G D in His infinite wisdom will surely deny me this very selfish wish and instead will have me pass surrounded by my 3 Kids and numerous Grandkids (thank Him).

Clash had one of the weirdest careers of any major group.

I believe the Army 25m target is preset for an M4 with M855 ammo. Your mileage may vary. But probably not by a lot. At the very least it will get you on paper at 100 and you can dial in from there.

Have probably mentioned before, after last game of a tournament in Chicago in early 2000s, our team headed to the brewpub/sports bar just a block from the rink. Shortly after we stacked our bags in the corner and took over a big table, Denis Savard walks up, greets us all, and buys us a round of pitchers. It was his favorite hang-out.
I emailed the tournament organizers after to let them know how impossibly perfect the weekend had ended, with an NHL hall of famer hanging out with us and buying us beer. His nose went several directions. Posted by: rhomboid at November 23, 2021 11:19 PM (OTzUX) 318

A very interesting 5.56mm M4 Carbine zeroing article:
https://tinyurl.com/y4vupe8f I need to take some time to work through this info and decide what I should zero my 16-inch barrel AR's to. If I want to use the same criterion the US Army (and all armies) use. The military establishes a rifle/ammo zeroing range to provide torso hits on a standing person at ranges both shorter and longer than the zero range. With the soldier aiming center mass. This (theoretically) enables hits in a continuous distance "band" without the soldier needing to adjust elevation. Which he may screw-up. Posted by: Gref at November 23, 2021 11:22 PM (AMIL/) 327

Trader Joe's just started limited availability of a house-label aged rum, 8 years. Managers knew only that it was from a Barbados distillery. Probably Mt. Gay, considering capacity to make contract labels, and Foursquare I don't think does this kind of stuff. Was a dark amber color, $20. Just an interesting indicator that finer rum is nibbling at the edges of shelf space, now dominated by bourbon, which has expanded dramatically in the new golden era thereof.

Back in the day, guys like that used to "resist arrest" a lot, then "hit their head" a few times getting into the patrol car, then "fall down the stairs" a few times at the station. I'm not defending that, mind you. But that's what used to happen. The criminals don't really understand what's in store for them if the current legal system breaks down. It won't mean they get to commit crimes with impunity. It will mean vigilante justice, possibly followed by a new legal system akin to the pre-Victorian British "Bloody Code", which had over 200 capital offenses.

Remember all the law and order police shows where dedicated detectives track down criminals and bring them to justice. HaHahahaha.
Reality is that robbery, murder and mayhem are totally out of control and neither the police or courts have the ability to even make a dent in what is going on. Murder rates skyrocketing, flash mobs cleaning out stores, human trafficing.....and what is our government doing? Putting people in jail for protesting at school board meetings or failing to wear a mask . But the FBI can track down 650 people who walked into the Capitol for trespassing.

The thing is, that argument holds true either way...God or matter.
I have often said with regards to time or infinity, eternity etc., is that while I can easily understand the idea of no ending, no beginning is a complete mind fuck to me.

Bunch of commies around here! j/k
Thanksgiving makes me think of Mammaw and Pappaw's for the holidays. Mammaw making about 12 different dishes and loading them into the 'warming' wall oven. This house had three ovens and they all worked. It came with an over under real oven and a smaller warming oven below (1950's were a weird time.) Mammaw somewhere along the line decided that the wall oven did not have enough space, so she had pappaw knock out some counters and go with an additional, under the counter full size oven. Turkey that was amazing (to everyone but Mammaw's sister.) Scalloped Potatoes made with cheez whiz that were amazing. Bread stuffing- and oyster dressing Mom made by Grandpa's recipe. Green Beans that did not taste like green beens. Bacon and spices. Fried Sweet Corn (drooling.) And Pies. Pies as far as the eye could see.

Turkey is relatively bland, but that makes it a good canvass for gravy and smoking. Gonna use a pre-brined breast, which should help with the moistness, applewood chips, apple cider in the pan, on the grill, fairly low and slow. In the past it's yielded a very very tasty result.

Nurse, I've never had a dry turkey, I'd rather cook two smaller size than a big tough old bird. I always put stuffing in the bird when I cook it. The stuffing has a lot of pork sausage in it and a good splash of pinot grigio, I think the stuffing helps keep the turkey moist and flavorful.

I really don't like turkey. It's dry. And bland. Ham is dry and salty. They both need some sort of sauce to be palatable. Or be in a sammich. If it was just me and my boys, id do Cornish game hens. Stuffed with sausage and current cornbread stuffing. With a littlle cross of bacon on the breast. Posted by: nurse ratched at November 24, 2021 12:25 AM (U2p+3) Nah, you're an Awesome American whut who Cursteys. And I roast one hell of a sweet, moist, succulent turkey, 'cause I know how, and have a strong instinct as to weight, temperature and time. Ham? Never cooked one, don't know how. But I was force-fed an overcooked, dried out, salty as hell disaster of a ham as a kid, and have never since been a ham-ster, ever since.

Since military ration sarcasm came up, reminds me that Red Army soldiers referred to the canned meat ("tushonka") they got from Lend Lease aid as "second front" - as in, it was aid in lieu of a second front from the Allies in the west.
They were aware of and very thankful for the aid (something I know from direct data, decades later), but it was a good example of the sarcasm that developed to a high art under decades of tyranny.

Mine are going on 15-20 years, look like the day I got 'em. And most have a finish that makes them wearable for more than one day without problem (well, except in some brutal summer humidity).

There are probably still pallets of USDA inspected canned ham and pork in some warehouse in the former Soviet Union.
It's actually pretty tough to get good data or info on the amount of stuff shipped over there during WWII, but it was absolutely off the charts in terms of machine goods, clothing, textiles, chemicals, trucks and food, radios, and supplies of anything and everything imaginable, right down to needles and thread. Too bad they sent us communists in return. It's "interesting" to me that the former Soviet Union doesn't allow or having any of the mind fvckery that they exported over here. I guess they ought to know better. Posted by: Common Tater at November 24, 2021 01:35 AM (4kNoB) 713

Thanks Berserker, and others. Not a Scotch guy, but always wondered just what Chivas was.
The purple cotton sacks they used to have the bottles in made great pouches for keeping extra cylinders for combo revolvers, like the Single Six. Getting used to some 12-yr Barbados rum here (The Real McCoy, dumb name, though historical, but "pure" rum by the most rum-geek-respected distillery on the island).

Actually Common Tater I think some of the Lend Lease data does exist, I've seen snippets for particular categories. It is a fascinating topic. There's a website dedicated to it.
And actually they did "send" 70-80% of kraut KIA "in return", so it wasn't completely one-way. A reco'd book is "The Strange Alliance" by Gen. John Deane, head of our military mission in Moscow. Fascinating for many reasons, but one thing was clear: keeping them in the fight was our top priority (and the UK's) until Germany was broken.

This is basically what a hypersonic vehicle is, and is the type the CHicoms are playing with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boost-glide Ballistic missiles follow a basic parabolic "ballistic" trajectory. Well, a suborbital path. Hypersonic vehicles modify that by using atmospheric lift at high speed to give a modified trajectory. You can come in the target a low angle, like a screaming meemie, that renders all the assumptions about ballistic missle paths invalid. Chicoms could get a nuke in the US coming on one of those low paths in from the south, not over the north pole, as all ballistic missile paths must follow.

Note that Apollo CM reentry followed a type of single skip boost-glide trajectory.

Nuclear exchange is a weird thing to try to figure/game out. You have already escalated.
Think about a scenario where a nuke is used at Three Gorges. Once nukes come on the field, proportionality gets thrown out (although one can always say that proportionality in war is insane.) The thing with nukes is that you can almost always come up with a more horrifying use. Maybe that's just weapons in general, I dunno. Posted by: Aetius451AD at November 24, 2021 02:22 AM (csEWM) 787

My point being, when you are gaming out nukes, there is always a worse use that you can come up with that would be truly devastating- by their very nature. They are not precise in any way.

Coof has turned sleepovers at gMa and gPa's into a big deal. It is heartbreakingly gratifying to have been placed in such a position. Yesterday we toasted marshmallows outside on a campfire set in our weber kettle and prior to that took them to visit Mrs. K's recently widowed mother. I taught the gSon the game "fingers" while there, which he quickly picked up and enjoyed immensely. Also while visiting, I called my sister to discuss where our own mother's failing health and abilities are headed and how we four kids will continue to work to keep her in her current duplex in accordance with her xpressed desire to expire there rather than "down the hill" in the "continual care" facility.
