Round The Decay Of That Colossal ONT, Boundless And Bare, The Lone And Level Sands Stretch Far Away
Evening Horde! It's that time of night when we kick back with a cold one and relax from another wonderful day in Biden's America. Better yet, have you ever considered olives?
Thursday Night Question
What to Leave Behind: Weird Wills of All Kinds The article lists a bunch of weird provisions from wills, but I thought this would be an interesting discussion for the ONT. What is the weirdest thing you have ever come across in a will? Tell us in the comment section.
Is This Something?
How GOP Legislatures Can Copy Johnny Depp and Defang the Lying Press Tomorrow With One Simple Trick I am not a lawyer, so I can't speak definitively to the merits of the proposal, but it seems like a hell of an idea to me. Basically, what the author is arguing for, is for Republican state legislatures to add falsely calling someone a racist or white supremacist to the list of things that constitute defamation per se.
“Defamation per se” denotes statements so inherently damaging that their false utterance is presumed to hurt the target, no matter what – even if he cannot prove economic harm. The damages are simply assumed automatically. When a libel or defamation case involves statements that are defamation per se, it is substantially easier to win a case. But just as importantly, by reducing the pleading hurdles at the outset of a case, defamation per se makes it much easier to hold a defendant’s feet to the fire in discovery — for example, by demanding all Slack or Journolist logs pertaining to the smear. Traditionally, four types of false allegations have been considered severe enough that they constitute defamation per se:He goes on to argue that a false accusation of racism today is far more damaging than the traditional allegations above.
Claiming a person was involved in criminal activity
Claiming that a person was unethical or incompetent in their professional conduct
Claiming a person has some kind of contagious or loathsome disease.
Claiming a woman is unchaste or has otherwise engaged in sexual misconduct
Imagine you’re the typical American mid-career professional, a doctor or lawyer or college professor—if you already are one, no need to imagine. What do you fear more? Being falsely accused of having monkeypox, or of being a “racist”? Would it be worse to appear on your local newspaper’s front page under a headline suggesting you embezzled money, or one suggesting you are a white nationalist? The answer, we suspect, is obvious. … Holy Land, a restaurant and hummus brand in the Minneapolis area, was destroyed after activists dug up tweets the owner’s daughter made as a teenager eight years previously. Despite the owner firing his own daughter, stores yanked Holy Land’s products from shelves, a landlord evicted it from one of its restaurants, and ultimately nearly 70 people lost their jobs.So what do some of you lawyerly types think of the idea? Fallout From The Sexual Revolution I originally had three items under this section, but one of them was deleted by the author. First there's this: The Culture of the Single Millennial
Environment matters. When the environment around you does not seem conducive to serious courtship and marriage, then there is a high probability you will not seek those things. On the other hand, if you see the majority around you acting more mature and marrying earlier, then you will seek potential life partners from the outset and look for a different set of qualities.Then there is this tweet, and the discussion that follows.
A lot of young men, being naturally competitive, may not necessarily envision a life of casual sex but become seduced into it after observing their peers engaging in the lifestyle. Young men enter a sort of arms race against one another. Many of them will think: “Why should I settle down early when the other guys are hooking up with so many girls now? Are they cooler or better than me? I have to prove that I can do it to!” This will lead him down the rabbit hole of “hook up culture” which could become addictive. It may take years to undo this lifestyle.
Young women compete with each other too. If they think showing off their bodies on social media or having sex with the more popular guys will raise their status or secure a higher status man, then many of them will act accordingly.
It is difficult to commit to a partner unless you sense loyalty from that person. An environment of partying and easy online dating does not exude loyalty, but rather, opportunism and fleeting pleasures. This makes everyone involved more paranoid and avoidant.
A problem with many right-wing anons is they can't see that the one on the left lead to the one on the right. https://t.co/dO8FHkXyRa

I Love The Smell Of Gasoline In The Morning. Smells Like...Freedom I Rented an Electric Car for a Four-Day Road Trip. I Spent More Time Charging It Than I Did Sleeping. The infrastructure to support electric cars isn't there yet. I have a buddy who drives a Tesla, and he travels all over without many problems, he says, but for non-Tesla vehicles it can be quite a chore, as the author relates in the article.
Keep Your Chin Up Bros, We're Winning Sarah Hoyt, discussing the videos that came out of Davos. These Are Not Signs of Winning
But you have to remember nothing in this are the signs of a winning ideology, one that has any grip on hearts and minds.
Yes, the communists always wanted to watch your every move and control everything you did and if possible thought. They even achieved some of it by being low-key and sneaky for a while, when the mass-communication technologies favored them anyway.
But now? Now they are saying the quiet part out loud, and so desperate — as their ideology of top down and center out control proves absolutely bankrupt in every sense, including economic — that they have changed from “we must gull them with promises” to “We’ll just control everything and watch their every expression, and they can never escape, never!”
This is always the final phase of crashing regimes, and it won’t go any better for them now.

It was a very, very generous gift but, due to very poor financial advice to the decedent, fees, penalties and other required permits and professional advice to unf*ck the estate, a multi-million $ estate was whittled away to a comparable pittance for distribution. No matter. Auntie wanted me to have a few of the family's ancient apple cider vinegar barrels which were a cash crop for my family for decades back in the day and her stash of Griswold cast ironware.
I have one barrel in my garage. The smell is wonderful and takes me back to childhood remembrances. I use the cast iron every day.

The Jan 6 sham presented the video of the very first breach. You know, the video where Ray Epps is seen whispering in the ear of a guy in a MAGA hat, then a couple seconds later, that person shoves through the barricade.
Only in the Jan 6 committee version, they created a new video that is zoomed in so you can't see Epps talking to the person who shoves the barricade into the cops, marking the initial breach into the Capitol.
They've gone to great lengths to studiously avoid what everyone who watches the un-doctored video can plainly see; Epps and others directing the action.

Main character is Nagumo Hajime who is an otaku with weak magical abilities. One of his classmates tries to murder him in the dungeon. Instead, after going through Hell fighting monsters, he conquers the dungeon and finds out the secret of the world. The god of this world was once human and went power mad. Each labyrinth was created by someone who opposed him and now the church brands them all heretics.
Along the way he starts collecting young ladies of various species and predilictions: Yue the vampire princess, Shea the bunny girl, Tio of the dragon born, and the little child mermaid Myu.

Liver. Blech. I would have to be really starving for animal protein.
Spinach. I steam it lightly and toss in some light sauce. Also raw as a salad. Have not had bitter melon.

Big stainless bowl, throw in a pugel or two of kosher salt.
Crush three or four garlic cloves into that salt and rub them into the bowl. The oil matters. Half an onion, diced.
A small block of feta. One jar of kalamata olives.
Toss this all together.
Fry up about 1/4 pound bacon bits. Into the bowl. Stir again. Eat a bit. Eat a little more.
Put the bowl into the fridge to marry a bit, and start boiling shell pasta... I like big.
Once they're al dente, throw them in the bowl... wonderful hot. Better cold.
When I told my Irani olive oil supplier of this, he told me it matched a dish his wife made, only she used tomatoes instead of the pasta shells.

Another umami source that I've recently discovered is Maggi sauce. A few sprinkles of it on eggs, roast beef sandwiches, stews, soups - it adds a good salty and beefy taste to whatever it's added to.

Another good one is called ... Elephant ear maybe? Many years ago, a friend invited me along to their fishing trip to Mille Lacs, in Minnesota. We were cruising along in his dads aluminum boat and he pulled off into some small island and returned in a minute or two with a big hunk of fresh mushroom that grows on the side of a decaying tree. It was delicious.

There's now another DALL-E2 level one called Imagen, because Google hates being lapped by OpenAI in cutting edge AI research.
AI research is really moving fast now. They have programs that can generate software code as requested, and you can hire GPT3 as a ghostwriter for about 700 words for a nickel and it does pretty good, better if you train it with examples of the style you want.
Back in early 2002 I told a friend of mine that ultimately the war on terror was unwinnable for Islam because no matter how badly the West screwed things up, in the next generation the fight would be goat herders vs Skynet. He wasn't sure if that; I said I expected AGI around 2032 and the decade before that, computers would start to get really scary. That prediction and timeframe has held up pretty good.

Female fertility starts going down after...25? And has dropped dramatically by 35.
This would mean the college/4 year party route would have to end...but historically this isn't normal anyway.
Since women like to marry "up" marrying a 25 year old when you are 20 who has a career, if not much time in one yet, probably satisfies that itch too.
And yes all this is closer to what was traditional in the west. But...we've forgotten all the things that have worked in the past to try new stupid things. I mean seriously, imagine explaining to your average person in say the year 1300 that in our time most women wait to have their first child into their 30s...and no...not because they've been starving or running from Mongols before then.

This is when they burn you at the stake as a heretic, or something like that.
Nature has a reason for mating when the hormones are raging, and it ain't for a Basket Weaving Studies major. Now, granted. A guy really needs to get at least INTO an apprentice program to be an electrician or such, might not wanna wait till he's a Journeyman to marry and procreate. And his bride might wanna both graduate H.S. and at least round up an Associate's in something tangible, banking against future earnings.
But in the prime childbearing/childrearing years, pay heed to Nature's call. I didn't, and am forever cursed as a childless man, though I've helped raise 'em, but none of my own. Lesson learned TOO LATE.

"if an 18-year-old is repeatedly arrested for assaulting people on the street and repeatedly let go, his thought may not go in the direction of, “What a gracious and merciful society I live in, I will do more to live up to it.” It is more likely he will think, “I can assault anyone and get away with it.

Late this evening, we hoed out my youngest corn and the green beans.
I got to thinking about what it was like in the old days, pre-mechanization, pre-chemical, etc, when that is what you had to do all the live long day. Get out in the hot sun and hoe.
I'd love to see these Millennials and Gen-Z have to hoe, just for a little bit. Of course, I wouldn't turn 'em loose in my garden, because they'd screw up and kill half the crop, most likely.
If the greens and sustainable/renewable idiots keep up, that's where we're gonna be. And a lot of people are going to starve.

But here is the point no Leftie will discuss.
The FBI collected over 12 THOUSAND HOURS of video from J6, mostly cell phone video, but also a lot of TV camera video. These activities (I refuse to call them incidents or crimes) all happened in a few hours, within a half-dozen blocks area. So there are dozens, if not hundreds of the same activity from different angles.
With video production capabilities these days, it would only take a week or two to merge all this video into a 3-D production. Lots of closeups and far away shots. Everything, or at least 99.5% of everything that happened would be seen. Everyone would know exactly what happened. So why didn't this happen?
Because the way the laws work, Congress controls that FBI collection, and Nanzi Pelosi refuses to release any of it. Think of it, we would have everything answered with our own eyes instead of some panel of Democrats describing what Republican supporters did on that day.
Our leaders in power are crooked beyond belief. They are propagandists worse than any 20th century press corps was. F*ck them.

If she had been driving a Tesla she wouldn't have had a story to write. I've driven long distance with my Model S and the Tesla Supercharger network really does just work.
She also might not have had a story if someone had told her about a web site called "A Better Route Planner" (ABRP). She said she spent 18 hours trying to charge the Kia EV6 car; ABRP planned a route that included only 3 hours and 20 minutes of charging.
ABRP was routing to "Electrify America" stations, which probably would have been better than the ones she picked using PlugShare.com. Electrify America is nowhere near as good as the Tesla Supercharger network but from what I hear it's better than the miserable experiences she had with random chargers.
I don't want to be unkind to her, but my guess is she might not be the best with technology. She wasn't even able to figure out what exact model of car she had rented.

There seems to be quite a hole between Houston outskirts and Lake Charles LA in terms of a Tesla Supercharger, and I haven’t seen info about anything planned.

50 kW is about 60A at 480V, 3-phase (balanced, of course -- we're talking a 4-phase to DC rectifier setup, so some non-linear behavior).
A station with 10 of those would require 600A, so we're talking a YUGE service. Now, 300kW, would be 360A at 480V, so 10 of those would require a service about a local plant we worked out with a 5000A service. Had it's own little min-substation feeding it.

I haven't paid much attention to the specs and shit with the loathsome EVs, but I was just looking. Tesla battery is 450VDC. Has to be that high, of course to keep current reasonable. Also, dangerous fry you good DC voltage to have around.
Anyway, charging at 100A would be 45kW, of course (and that's ignoring heat losses, so I have no idea how much higher it would be for 45 kW to be stored in the battery).
So for a 50 kW charge rate, you're gonna be pumping 100A through the damn battery. For 300 kw, 6x that, or 600A through that damn battery?
That's a lot of current. And those batteries are fire-catchy any way. Yep, I would be backing away from one of those damned batteries being charged at that much current.

55 gal drum or larger, best if it is plastic. Put it up at least 4" but two cinderblocks should put it high enough to get a good siphon
You need to rerout your downspout, you can pull the elbow off the gutter and turn it 180 degrees.
You will probably have to cut your downspout to match it to your barrel, and you will need some sort of funnel to get all the water in. Say a cut off soda or plastic juice bottle, if you are not picky
You can piece together some connectors with PVC if you or your spouse are picky
to get the water out you can get one of those hand pumps or siphons for drums from ULINE. Or you can use a hose like siphoning gas.
You can put in a bulkhead fitting and a faucet instead, depending. Anyway you need some height to get a good pressure and the ability to put a pail under it to carry water that way
If you want to go real cheap just take the head off the barrel and run the downspout into it, and then dip water out of it with a bucket.

Finding some more specs. Looked up an individual module for one of those Tesla battery packs. They call it a module, which consists of several actual cells. These modules are then put together in some series and parallel configuration to give you the whole battery pack.
Module voltage is 23V roughly nominal. Continuous charge and discharge current is 225A. Intermittent output is 1500A for 3s, and 1000A for 10s.
Yep, you gonna fast charge one of those battery assemblies, you're talking some heavy current indeed.

Back in 1980-something, I knew a woman in Calgary who bought an orange Lada that she was immensely proud of. She took a ration of (good-natured) shit for driving a Commie car.
Well, one day she drove out to Banff, and coming back, hit a huge pothole in the highway, and broke all the springs. Poor thing just hunkered right down.
Curiously enough, the Lada Niva SUV (although not then called an SUV) was not a bad little rig. They endured long after the Lada sedans went to Chy-Nah to embrace their destiny as rebar in the 3 Gorges Dam.

> I would be backing away from one of those damned batteries being charged at that much current.
I've been driving a Tesla for a while and I'm just not that worried about it. You plug in the cord, the pretty lights flash, the car charges. On a hot day you hear the air conditioner come on... it makes sure that the battery pack doesn't overheat. (As opposed to the Nissan Leaf, which uses passive air cooling and hope. There's a reason a Tesla costs more than a Leaf.)
What will be amazing is when the Tesla Semi comes out. Those have a special connector with four pairs of charging pins... and it's believed those are at double the voltage of Tesla cars. So it will be at least eight times as much current at once.
It still sounds better to me than pumping hundreds of gallons of diesel. A diesel with a 300 gallon tank is hauling a literal ton of fuel.

Tesla just plain tells you how much current their Superchargers can deliver. Old ones are 125 or 150 kW; for some reason some are 72 kW; and the new ones are 250 kW with rumors that 350 kW is coming.
But it's regulated somehow and you only get the full power if your car's battery is low enough. The closer to a full charge, the slower it charges. So if you take a new Model 3 down to 5% charge and take it to a 250 kW station, for five minutes or so you will get the full 250 kW and then it will taper down.
That's why planning software has you running your battery down low before stopping, and only charging a short time (15 minutes or 20 minutes). That's how you minimize overall charging time. I tend to overlap charging with meals and let it charge longer than the plan... it might be faster the other way but it's more convenient my way.

It sure is. At the outset, anyway. As the fuel is consumed, the weight of the remaining fuel diminishes. A semi truck can haul 40 tons, maybe more. So having one ton of fuel means the fuel is only 2.5% of the payload. How much does the battery in a Tesla weigh? And its weight does not diminish by so much as a milligram as the charge is exhausted.

With a 20 minute refuel to do it again, until the limits of the driver's DOT time in service limits.
There is no way the trucking industry will "make due" with +8 hr. recharging time for rigs, when such recharging stations simply don't exist in sufficient numbers at rest stops, truck stops and other places where the 18 wheelers tend to pull off the roads.
Amazon Trucks will recharge at Amazon Distribution Centers. Everyone else will *not* suck amperage.

Heh. You know how much 50kW is at 240V single phase, you know normal residential service? 208A. ROFL.
Call one of those Tesla batteries 100 kW-hr capacity. It's less than that with some, 86 kW-hr, but 100 kw-hr is a close enough round figure.
2 hours at 50 kW to charge one completely from discharge. But, at fast-charging rates, efficiency drops to about 50%. Half is going into the battery, the other half is heat.
That's those blower motors the above enthusiast was talking about to get that heat the fuck out of there before yo' battry catches fire and blows up yo' ass.
When you figure in that 50% loss, shit fire. Yep, you're gonna need some serious power capacity to "fast charge" one of those things. And you're gonna waste a shit ton as heat.

I hope my little limited numbers on the current and power requirements are illustrating just how much the grid capacity would have to be upgraded to handle any significant fraction of EVs.
Mrs. Duke put me in a 25KVA transformer to feed the house. 50 kW is twice that, the continuous current rating of the transformer. (if not familiar, look up the difference between apparent power, VA, vs real power, watts to see the difference between a KVA rating and a kW rating).

This is why, that if we, as a society, were really serious about going to an all-electric vehicle fleet, we would mandate swappable batteries as a matter of course. Your battery runs low, you wheel into a service station (why should we not call them that, eh?), and a robot drops out your depleted battery, notes the charge remaining, and swaps in a fully-charged one. Five minutes, tops, and you are back on the road. You pay only the net charge difference, plus maybe a fixed service fee.

> How much does the battery in a Tesla weigh? And its weight does not diminish by so much as a milligram as the charge is exhausted.
Oh, a lithium ion battery pack is WAY heavier than the amount of gas or diesel with an equivalent amount of energy. The only reason EVs work so well is that an EV is five or six times more efficient than a similar ICE vehicle.
According to Wikipedia my car's battery pack weighs 1378 pounds, and it stores the equivalent energy of about 3 gallons of gas.
It's why I'm not expecting electric motor airplanes to be practical anytime soon.
But the big companies like Pepsi are drooling at the thought of the Tesla Semi because it will be so much less expensive to operate. It will cost a lot more up front but the payback period is less than two years. With a Democrat President, maybe less than one year. I think those companies will have to upgrade their electrical infrastructure and install their own Megachargers to make it work, but they're still going to do it.

This is where wind and solar generating facilities could be used to their best advantage. The batteries don't care if the charger takes a holiday. You'd need a large surplus of batteries to permit this, but you'd need a large surplus in any case.

>> upgrade their electrical infrastructure and install their own Megachargers to make it work,
Where are you going to get your generation? It takes energy to turn the generators? Where does that come from?
Hint solar and windmills ain't gonna do it. You're gonna need to start building a sanctified shit ton of nuclear power plants, all over the fucking place to do anything like you envisions. That ain't gonna happen in a year.

> There is no way the trucking industry will "make due" with +8 hr. recharging time for rigs
The Tesla Semi is said to charge in under an hour. My car has a 100 kWh battery pack; the Semi is expected to have a battery pack of at least 500 kWh. But the Megacharger can deliver power 6 times faster than the best Superchargers.
That 500 kWh pack must be organized into four smaller packs that charge side by side, because the Megacharger connector has four pairs of charging pins.
I think you are right that the people who own these trucks are going to buy their own chargers; they aren't going to wait for anyone to pre-build a network of chargers for them.
I suspect that they will charge the trucks at the same time they load or unload them, to save time. But that might not be practical... I don't know that much about high voltage.

We really need to find a way to run vehicles directly off coal. I think the Germans tried running Diesel engines directly on powdered coal, and they did run, and delivered power, but the coal ash was so abrasive that the engines wore out in next to no time.

The Midwest grid is in pretty bad shape. There may be rolling blackouts this summer. Western grid is in a little better shape, but still can't handle "larger than expected demand". Midwest is iffy even for expected demand.
Green shit, of course. Midwest has lost generation capacity, thanks to that.
Now, will that be enough to wake people up and vote these lunatics out of office? Rolling blackouts, and Princess doesn't have any power coming out of the wall?

Not really my problem. The power companies are building out their generation capacity, talk to them.
If it were up to me we would be building more nuke plants but it's not up to me. If they need to build something it might be natural gas.

Flashlight manufacturers have used swappable batteries for over a hundred years. The humble "D" cell is over a century old. For electric vehicle batteries, there might be some advantage to going back to primary (non-rechargeble) batteries. You wouldn't need all that complex electronics in the modules to detect overheat and to control charge rate. Just use 'em up, send 'em back to the plant where their chemistry would be reversed, and new batteries built from the reclaimed materials.

Oh Lord, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. These Tesla Semis and their Megachargers.
They claim they're gonna charge one of those truck YUGE 500kW-hr batteries in 30 minutes, and with with a solar powered Megacharger.
To do that, output is going to be a MW. One megawatt. And the battery voltage is gonna be a kV, and need 1000A, a kA of current.
A megawatt solar array takes 2.5 acres, and 4 acres total for all the support equipment. So, 40 acres for 10 trucks. And all that out in the desert with a lot of sun.
Yeah, that's gonna happen.

Mannix gets the tough guy edge, though. I mean, he was knocked out every episode for 8 years, suffered no ill effects. Was shot probably 100 times.
When Mannix got shot, he'd just rub some dirt on it and walk it off.
And again, you can thank Lucy, Lucille Ball for both Mannix and Star Trek. She was the one who saved Mannix from a disastrous first season, and the one who convinced NBC to give Star Trek a second chance.

EVs: I first saw the "swapping battery in EVs" idea in Popular Science in the mid-70's. Three problems appear.
1. Swapping is time consuming. Using hand tools is prohibitive; that's why Tesla no longer makes it "easy" (supposedly, it was designed-in in the early models). Using a large fixture, like a car lift with additional "arms" to remove the battery and install a new one is very expensive. Then there's the problem of storing enough new/charged ones and the removed ones.
2. Getting an acceptable replacement battery is still tough. A brand new one, or even a certified remanufactured one should be okay, but every time? Bad batteries cut range, might brick the vehicle, and might even catch fire.
3. Charging is still a problem. I heard of a situation in Tehachapee CA, where Tesla drivers had a 5-hour wait to get a 1 hour charge. 5 hours won't work for trucks. Perhaps 6 times the chargers and ground space will work.
Finally, distribution infrastructure, specifically wires. We will need at least 3 times the number high-tension electrical transmission wires strung throughout the heavily-populated areas, where people use EVs. Does 130kV really cause leukemia?

Back one time in the '90s, he asked if he could train his mule on some of our land. He did, and introduced me to "Rosie", his new mule.
Well, Rosie sort of looked at me cock-eyed, when he introduced us. She got sort of frisky, and tried to bully me.
He explained that she knew a push-over when she saw one, and I didn't know nuttin' 'bout no mules. So, I may not do so well in the horse-n-buggy, mule plowing, Burning Times days.

Spoken like a Washington Post "fact-checker."
She rented a Kia EV6, she didn't buy a Honda Civic. She could have rented a Tesla Model 3 from Hertz, instead of buying a Tesla Model S Plaid (the one that costs $130,000). I was commenting on how good the Tesla Supercharger network is, not shaming some random journalist for not being able to afford a luxury sedan.
At current gas prices, my car is saving me at least $2000 per year on gas alone. Throw in the cost savings of no oil changes and in a dozen years it will have saved me the cost of a Honda Civic. This is why I keep saying that once the cost of an EV falls to the same level as the cost of a gas car, the average consumer will want to buy an EV, and gas car sales will fall off a cliff.
It's flattering that you think I can afford a $130,000 car, but I bought my Model S used when Trump was President and before the insane run-up in used EV prices. Even then it was the most expensive car I've ever bought, but I'm not going to apologize for buying the car I wanted and you can go soak your head. In gasoline.
Posted by: mr_jack at June 10, 2022 02:50 PM (57l0O)
All the car makers are going to have to transition to EVs if they want to survive. They should have seen it coming but they didn't and now they are scrambling to try to get enough batteries to make EVs.
Only Tesla is really planning for large scale.
