Got a question for someone who knows metals/wire. I've gotten wire for my rosaries from both Our Lady's Rosary Makers (unbranded hanks, loop bundles tied twice) and Amazon, (Benecreat, on a spool). Both are 20 gauge aluminum, but the Benecreat is much more malleable.
How come? And is the more malleable one more likely to suffer damage? (Rosaries don't get a lot of physical abuse, sure, but still ... ) Posted by: Ann Wilson, aka Empire 1 at October 26, 2021 06:30 PM (JJatH) 44

The malleable will likely snap if it's compromised at the same point repeatedly. How many repeatedly is the question.

Frasier had a new financial analyst working at KACL and she asks while doing an intro to her show, "... Plus, are pharmaceutical stocks still worth prescribing?"

Moron Robbie --
Thanks for the advice. The wire just holds the beads in the decades together, and the bits of chain that holds the decades together, so it's not subject to a great deal of stress. After flexing a small piece of the malleable over 50 times, I decided I have nothing to worry about. Thanks much! Posted by: Ann Wilson, aka Empire 1 at October 26, 2021 06:43 PM (JJatH) 111
June bugs bite. They are not nice.
* This is interesting because that hasn't been my experience in the South with the large metallic green beetles. I wonder if it's regional and they're slightly different insects?

Ann Wilson,
I have broken so many cheaply manufactured rosaries that I have lost count. I bought a "Combat Rosary." Originally commissioned by the U.S. Army for WWI, it is made out of gun metal. Pope Pius (?) issued an indulgence. If any Catholic soldier died in battle in possession of the rosary, he would be spared Hell. So, there were so many left over from WWI that they were issued to Catholic soldiers in WWII. Clearly I don't have one of those. But the one I have is quite durable. Look it up. Gun metal. I like that. Posted by: Cogwell's Cogs at October 26, 2021 06:44 PM (rDgjh) 113

Yeah, but does anyone really enjoy Kaboom?
Posted by: Dog at October 26, 2021 06:34 PM (aXxgO) I don't remember not liking it. When I was a kid I was Cereal Disposal Unit # 243. It was one of my favorite things. I was also a real picky eater, still am in a lot of ways, so the conventional wisdom with me was "eh, just give him cereal" whenever I got babysat by any of the aunts or grandmothers. Mom used to always bring home different cereals just to see what I liked. There were the old standbys, and then there were the ones on rotation. I remember kaboom. Didn't have it often, but I don't remember hating it. Then again, I don't remember hating any cereal, except maybe shredded wheat and puffed rice. I liked captain crunch, but it was a bitch waiting for it to soften up in the milk. Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at October 26, 2021 06:47 PM (VwHCD) 124

Sock-rat-ez, no -- the stiffer wire doesn't even have a label, and the other is very uninformative. So my "why" question will go unanswered.
But I did try the flex test, and they both went over fifty bends with no problem -- which won't happen in real-life use -- so I'm relieved that it won't compromise quality to use either. Thanks much!

It was years before I learned the secret to shredded wheat. If you have not done this, I recommend you give it a go. I'm talking the big shredded wheat about the size of a bar of Irish Spring or bigger.
Put a 'biscuit' or two in a bowl. Fill the bowl with water and smush the biscuit with your hand. Keeping your hand on the biscuit, pour out the water. Then pour in milk and enjoy.

Cogwell's Cogs -- I've heard of those gunmetal rosaries, but never seen one. I think ones for military personnel today (at least deployed) have to be cord-type instead of chain, and definitely subdued.
If you'd like one of mine, let me know the bead color and if you want enamel or plain metal (silver, gold, bronze, old gold) cross and center. These are hand-made, and pretty sturdy, so they're unlikely to fall apart on you. E-mail is in my sig.

I think it's no coincidence, in the long-winded Rand's case, that it's a short good book, a novella really. When she kept it pithy, she was much, much better. I was one of the many 70s teenagers who read it because of Rush's 2112. It was my first Rand. It was all downhill from there in my further reading.

----- The Fountainhead is long-winded, too, but it's much better than Atlas Shrugged. My mom's theory is this: both books have essentially the same theme and message. But the literary critic types of the time totally missed the point on Fountainhead. I don't know; I was a long, far way from being born yet, but that's what she says. So she thinks that everyone in her professional milieu was too fucking dull-witted to get it, and she came back with Atlas Shrugged to beat these bien-pensant Commies on the skull with the blunt end of the premise until it stuck.

I heard Michael Franks in college and was kinda messed up and it absolutely freaked me out. I couldn't process it. Was it a joke? Was it brilliant? Was it evil? Was it the worst thing I everheard. Popsicle Toes at 3am on headphones on a high end turntable. I am still shaken if I am being honest. I just kept thinking this is more eff'd up than The Butthole Surfers Hairway to Steven.

Posted by: Oldcat at October 26, 2021 07:40 PM (eoQWY) Bogota's problem (as a leader of thought and as a leader of the country) is that they are afraid of global warming worse than just about anything. It is at the altitude of Boulder Colorado, when it gets to 75 degrees F they all wilt and complain, and it has torrential rains twice a year that required building drainage canals. And their fear is that the sea level will raise two inches, and it will get warmer and less wet. At least they have Covid Posted by: Kindltot at October 26, 2021 07:49 PM (KbLYZ) 372

Even if you skip the speeches and the main characters, the studies of the evil characters and the mid level characters - Cheryl Taggert, Ed Willers, the story of the fall of the 20th Century Motors and the descriptions of the train tunnel disaster are worth reading. At least to me she had a style I can visualize just like watching a movie - often movies don't do this for me.
Posted by: Oldcat at October 26, 2021 07:14 PM (eoQWY) She actually worked in Hollywood when she first came to the U.S., so that may be why she had a good visual flare when it came to those evil characters. I agree, their scenes are the best part of the book. Any attempt to film Atlas Shrugged should focus on that stuff - the collapsing world - and give up on the lofty philosophical speeches. It is odd to see how events today are replaying her scenario; the bottlenecks of cargo containers is like the inability to get train cars to the midwest for the big wheat harvest in the book.

Posted by: CrotchetyOldJarhead at October 26, 2021 07:49 PM (l1zez) Hmmm. Well, I will tell you this right out. There are very few springer front ends I trust. Most of them scare me, because you just don't know how good they are welded. I see a lot of springer front ends out there that I just can't see what the hell is holding them together. An 8" over front end is pretty damn long, and the force on the neck is amplified. There are custom front end builders out there who are very good, but pricey, but it is your ass. On the other hand, if you go with a frame that has an upward stretch and small rake it don't tax the neck/tree area as much. Putting an 8" over front end on a non stretched frame, like a stock softail frame starts to get a wee bit flexy. Keep in mind a stock softail wide glide is actually a 4 over front to start with. Do you want 4 inches longer than that, or 8 inches longer yet?? Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at October 26, 2021 08:02 PM (VwHCD) 432

Posted by: Warai-otoko at October 26, 2021 08:01 PM (6FeV1) First, you must step on the US flag. Then Trump's pic. Btw, my ex informs me that as of May 2023, you must have Real ID to enter a federal building. This does seem to check out from a quick search. Now, does this mean you can't enter a courthouse to file a lawsuit? Does this mean you cannot appear for jury duty if summoned? This might get interesting...

I met a wonderful example of Arizona fauna the other night, in my kitchen.
It's called a Tarantula Hawk Wasp. They use their ("extremely painful") sting to paralyze tarantulas, so they can lay their eggs in them, and give their grubs some meat to eat when they hatch. Look it up, feast on its ugliness. But don't believe the claim that they top out at 2". Mine was at least 2 1/2". It took a lot of killing. The armor is impressive.

I still think it would be hilarious to watch a modern wokie kid see MASH for the first time and realize that Klinger is completely straight and the entire character is based on that he dresses like a woman to convince the Army that he is crazy so he would be released. And the show was considered "liberal" and was very, very popular.

+8 beyond stock. I like the 'Captain America' look without raising the front end being too high. Probably gonna cut the neck and have a new one welded, and change the triple tree.
Posted by: CrotchetyOldJarhead at October 26, 2021 08:16 PM (l1zez) Ok, the Captain America bike definitely had the neck raked and a long front, but it wasn't a springer. Some of these aftermarket springers don't have the tubes that pass through the tree as 1 piece. They are welded to the bottom side of the bottom tree, and the top part is separate and welded to the top side of the bottom tree. If the weld lets go you are fucked, and it has happened. The longer you go, the more stress. You are going to want to find a company that makes a long springer made in the style of the original harley springer. They are strong. They are out there, but I don't remember seeing any that were 8 over. I think the ones I saw were 2" longer than a stock softail, which is 6" longer than the FL front end. Basically everything seems to use the stock FL length as the base, so 2 over softail is really 6 over FL. I'll do some looking. Ok, now what about this motor?

Probably just upsize the jugs, sportier cams and a more robust oil pump. Definitely redo the exhaust. It'll be a neighbor hater and shake like a dog passin a peach pit.
Posted by: CrotchetyOldJarhead at October 26, 2021 08:42 PM (l1zez) Well upsizing the jugs on stock cases is a really bad idea. The cases have to be bored for the bigger jugs, and they just aren't strong enough, not enough meat around the cylinders. You end up building a time bomb. I don't know what your budget is, but the better way to go is stroker flywheels, no more than 4 5/8. That gives you an 89" motor thats reliable. Another way to go is the S and S FLSS kit. It uses the stock jugs, but has 10.1:1 compression, has the S and S 561 cam, heads with better ports and bigger intake valves, pushrods, pistons, gaskets, and will dyno at around 87HP, and it is frigging quick and reliable. At 60 mph you'll hardly be touching the gas. What year engine are you starting with, because that will really dictate what you can do.

I am not too squeamish about insects in general, but I hate wasps and hornets. I like honeybees and bumblebees. And, oddly, the wasps that build small nests in my shed every summer are not very aggressive, despite looking quite scary.

** So long as they're not in well-traveled places where they might get bothered by people and try to defend their nests I'll usually leave them alone. They are natures vultures and clean up a lot of roadkill and rotting meat. Also if you ever see wasps and hornets methodically bumping up against the side of your house, they're hunting for spiders. So pick your poison, I guess. Posted by: Moron Robbie - all of modern medicine is based on abortion at October 26, 2021 08:55 PM (txkTB) 615

Yep. They are actually pretty harmless they just look like they could kill you. Posted by: Jewells45#FJB at October 26, 2021 08:50 PM (nxdel) OK, you're ready to move to Arizona.

I somewhat disagree. Fun early 80s dialog and an awesome soundtrack. Highly quotable movie.
I think it would still be a good movie, but not as memorable. The only nudity that really had to be in the movie was Phoebe without her top. That fit the story and drove an important scene. The rest was just really nice scenery. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at October 26, 2021 08:58 PM (KZzsI) 629

Evening.
So I'm reading a Yahoo News story about the Loudon County rape case. https://tinyurl.com/wsjvfftx There's one detail I found sad and enlightening. It's the kind of detail that never gets argued in these debates. So apparently the girl who was raped testified that she had had two prior consensual sexual encounters with the perpetrator in the girl's restroom. First, let me say, that's fucked up. She's fourteen. I'm guessing he probably pressured her into it. But the main point I want to bring up is that no one ever points out that these so-called "Trans-Gender Bathroom Policies" really greatly enable the opportunity for, um...shenanigans. Like part of the reason you separate boys and girls is so that they don't do shit like that. And even if they find places to get into shenanigans anyway you don't want to have a public policy fucking encouraging it. It reminds me of how the Nazis (I know, I know) intentionally built summer camps for boys *right next* to the summer camps for girls. They wanted the resulting pregnancies. More Ubermen, I guess.

Summer, 1980. Bellevue, Nebraska. Tomato patch. Cicada summer. Mantis. The latter had the former by the (very big) ass-end, and was meditatively eating toward the head, hanging from a tomato leaf.

Alas, the days before cell phone cameras.
** I worked midnights decades ago and would watch spiders build webs then crawl over to cut the lines of competing spiders' webs before scurrying back to their own while their competitor would be forced to spend time repairing her web. I hate that there was no easy way to record that. I'd see it almost every night and have never seen it since.

So I guess when we argue against these things it's important to avoid the trannies. The trannies aren't really of great number. What is it, half a percent? They're incidental. And making it about them just gives the leftist douchebags opportunities to call us bigots and haters. The focus needs to be entirely on the safety and well-being of girls. One, these policies open the door to psychopaths and perverts who will attempt to hide behind the rhetoric and law to do fucked up things and hurt girls and women. Secondly, and it's harder to admit, but even though we can all say boys are little horn dogs even the girls can get rascally and it's in the interest of everyone if we not encourage bad behavior that leads to suboptimal or even criminal outcomes.

You can get an insert for the fire place with convection vents that will put out good heat.
Also, if you don't have one, where the water enters your house there should be a drain cut-off. In other words you can cut the water from coming in off while at the same time drain all the water pipes above the level of the cut-off. Theoretically that would be all your pipes.

The Jetson is neat - but I don't see the point. Its got a 20 minute flying time with basically no payload beyond the pilot.
Where are you going to go in 10 minutes (with safety margin)? Better if they dumped the batteries and put in a gas tank (5 gallons for non-license ultralights) and an engine powering a generator. You could probably get at least an hour in the air like that. Posted by: Agammamon at October 26, 2021 11:24 PM (EEw9c) 645
