Monday Overnight Thread – 03/27/2023 [Roger Ball]
"This summary serves as a fact check on the top ten disasters that mainstream media attributes to climate change."What boring lives we would have without disasters, no? Scott Johnson at Power Line addresses the “Extermination Nation” theme of the climate mafia: THE EXTINCTION NEXT TIME
Paul Ehrlich:”Oh, humanity is not sustainable. To maintain our lifestyle (yours and mine, basically) for the entire planet, you’d need five more Earths. Not clear where they’re gonna come from.”Man. Sounds lake an expert if there ever was one, eh? John Dutton (Yellowstone) might have a good perspective:
Via HAMMER, VDH weighs in on our current history in the making: The Baleful Cargo of Woke Diversity Worship
"We forget that what once separated the Western world from the rest was not race, climate, or natural bounty, but its gradual creation of meritocracies replacing the pre-civilizational rule of the clan, the tribe, or the race."The tribes of grifters and looters lie and are supported by the Propaganda Media. And we are letting them win. For now. DEI - DESTROY EVERY INSTITUTION, like our election system.
RAMEN BROTH CHOO CHOO
It has ditched regular fuel to run on a particular kind of biodiesel made, among other delicacies, from leftover ramen broth. It leaves a delicious aroma in the air and is less damaging to the mountainous landscapes and rice fields that it travels through.
Hey, as long as we have Ramen noodles, we’ll be just fine. Food and transportation for a free society. I think I would like the Japanese more if it hadn’t been for that whole Pearl Harbor, World War Two thing, but credit where credit is due. Pilot Time Crop dusting. Never have done but I wouldn't mind trying it. It looks like a lot of fun and a little dangerous. It's also a precision industry with GPS guided spray patterns and excellent turbine powered airplanes. Why, there's even a you tube channel for Ag flying! Ag Aviation Adventures, hosted by Tyson and Cally, has almost 20,000 subscribers. They have good AV production quality and story lines. I do have a bone to pick, though. The following vid, Flying One of the First Ag Planes Ever Produced! talks about the Snow S-2 duster designed and built by pioneer Leland Snow. Now, I will never take anything away from Mr. Snow as he clearly was a great visionary and innovative force for agricultural flying.
There is some disagreement on the exact dates in various media, but a general "mid 1920's" will cover it, and it was certainly before the 1950s when Leland built his first Snow S-1. The Delta Flight Museum is a great place to go for the history of the Huff-Deland Puffer and subsequent Delta Dusters. I was surprised that even the commenters did not mention the Huff-Deland "Puffers". There are only two of those historic biplanes known to exist. One is in theSouthern Museum of Flight in Birmingham. The other is in the National Air and Space Museum The definitive expert on the subject is retired Delta Captain and Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame inductee Jim Hoogerwerf. His extensive research is reflected in the following 2021 20-minute video presentation. It’s likely too much inside baseball for many but is offered for historical purposes.

Still working my way through Stephen Baxter's The Time Ships...
The Time Traveler has gone back 50 million years and jumpstarted the human race a bit earlier than the original timeline suggested...
When he gets back to his "present" (1891), he discovers that humanity has long abandoned Earth and now it's a frozen wasteland. Whoops!

Long ago, after the most violent hard landing I've ever experienced in a civilian airliner, the Captain was bidding goodbye to the passengers as they exited the aircraft. The old lady in line in front of me paused and asked the pilot, "Captain, may I ask you something?" Of course, Ma'am. "Did we land or were we shot down?"
That wasn't you, was it?

Wasn't that the plot of that TV show Terra Nova? Humans flee a present polluted, overpopulated Earth by going back 80 million years and get into hijinks with dinosaurs, or something. Never watched it, but it was run by the same people who did Lost, so it was probably stupid.

It's hardly a unique plot...But in this case, the Time Traveler gets stranded there by accident while fleeing an alternate Britain where WWI never stopped and the cities are now covered in vast domes to protect against gas attacks. Some folks from that era come looking for him in the past, but they get bombed by a German Messerschmidt armed with nukes. The survivors manage to create a society long before humans should have walked the Earth, thus advancing civilization by 50 million years.
Pretty wild stuff.

Knew two cropduster pilots. One older and a WW2 pilot. He "got ready" to fly crops by downing about a pint of whiskey. Never heard he had any problems.
The second took the landing gear, both sides, off a plane in NoDak, landed it in some tall Johnson grass. His crew came out, jacked it up, put new gear on it, replaced the prop and he finished the job the same day.

I'd probably do First Bull Run. Defeat the Confederacy in the summer of 1861 and save hundreds of thousands of lives.
My initial choice would be any battle where I got a clean shot at Genghis Khan, or possibly Muhammad. But I've concluded that I just don't know how things would work out; quite possibly they'd be worse, so I'm now a firm believer in noninterventionism when it comes to the past.

I thought they can't possibly make biodiesel from Ramen broth - which is water based.
I clicked on the link. They skim the lard (from the cooked pork bones) off the top of the broth, and use that FAT.

We managed to capture all of them, 3 one week and the remaining 2 a week later. The boys are all fixed but the girls are pregnant so we'll have to wait for the new kittens before spaying. I hope they have small litters! The cats are quite friendly, some more than others. The boys took longer but I imagine that getting fixed contributed to their discomfort and wariness. The litter is males: 2 gray, 1 black; females: 1 gray, 1 black. If the daddy(ies) that did the deed isn't a sibling then the kittens my turn out more varied.
My two daughters have started a GoFundMe if anyone wants to help out and it will be very appreciated - link is below. The vet has been very helpful by not demanding all the bill be paid at once.
I'll post updates from time to time, possibly in the Pet thread on Saturdays if I make it, as I seem to miss it and read it when its too late to post.

Ms. Triple Crown Weave is kept in her district by "the machine", and her voters go for her out of default, as no one else from that district is really allowed to challenge her.
Keep in mind, SJL holds NO Committee Chairmanships, even after decades in office. Because (d) leadership knows that she's dumb as a rock, a self-serving publicity seeker, but one who brings absolutely nothing to the (d) strategy table, other than her easily duplicatable, dependable (d) party line vote.
She is the subject of much derision in and around Houston, even among (d)s. And the "machine" that touts her won't have the same power in other Houston districts. You wanna buy stock in SJL? Short the trade, and... profit!

Biodiesel is actually the type of environmentalism activity that I can support. As a restaurant worker, we would have to change fryer oil about every 3-4 days as it broke down and accumulated particulate matter.
Because it is illegal to dump oil into the sewer system, it was taken out to a used oil receptacle and a company had to be paid to come pump it out and haul it off for you.
But because some frugal individuals wanted to save money by driving biodiesel engines, they instead set up a co-op that would bring you a grease receptacle for no charge and then pay you a small amount of money each month for taking the used cooking oil off of your hands (usually $15-$25 range).
This was a net savings to small restaurant owners in the neighborhood of $500 per year and resulted in a profit of about $20-300 each year from the oil.
No one insisted that every car run on biodiesel, forced you into some government program, filled you with virtue signaling stuff about saving the planet, none of that. Just cheap bastards recognizing an opportunity and partnering with businesses to the benefit of both parties.

There is a long-established industry that takes used oil, used fats, and bones, etc., and renders them for lard or tallow. They supply pet food makers, and the soap industry. This has been going on for generations. The biodiesel peeps are not exploiting a hitherto-wasted resource. And the trans-esterification process that turns waste oils into biodiesel requires large amounts of methanol and potassium hydroxide, and yields glycerin as a waste product. What becomes of that?

Waste disposal is big business. I doubt that used fryer oil has much intrinsic value. If you go on "alternate energy" sites, you'd be surprised at how many greenies think that waste cooking oils all go to landfills. They are completely ignorant about the rendering business. If the biodiesel types outbid the renderers, then the renderers will have to outbid the biodiesel makers, and the end result is more expensive pet food and cosmetics, I guess.

I like that thing. All kinds of waveform control. These things are basically high output current function generators. Again, amazing what solid state electronics can do.
I've been looking at the modern welders. Very small and compact, high power solid state inverters.

I might just get one of that speed. I'm seeing some all-in-ones with plasma cutter functionality as well as the 3 welding processes.
Now, I would like to get one with three-phase input capability. With the inverter input stages, some of them can do single or three input. Just more ripple (and higher average current) with single phase.

According to the manual, when welding with AC, the HF start voltage for the arc will remain on, so the arc doesn't extinguish on the zero crossing.
I will try to set it up at a friend's shop tomorrow, where he has a bottle of argon, and try some welds in various modes. It can do stick welding, too.

Did it come with any tungstens? I see what looks like one tungsten electode with the kit.
You'll want to look into thoriated and lanthanated tungstens at all that good stuff.

You'll want a good supply of tungstens. Remember, Steel and SS, you want a point. For Aluminum, you'll ball your tungsten.
Also, you'll want a dedicated grinder wheel for sharpening the tungstens. If you grind the tungsten on a wheel you've ground other shit with, it will get the tungsten contaminated with the other metal and sort of mess up.

I'm reading. I'm about 20 years out of it. Balling tungstens is pretty much a thing of the past, with balance control. That is your AC squarewave spends more time negative that positive.
You get enough cleaning on the positive side without too much heat. So, with a balance control, you can grind to a point. Now, it will get a little ball on the end of the point, but not much, like a full 50/50 wave ball.

Heh. 120V ain't too hot for welding. I have a dinky little 120V flux-core "MIG" welder box. It was basically a toy. Never tripped a breaker with it, but with MIG, the voltage is much lower.
With stick, your running somewhere between 20 - 30V, higher side usually. So 30*120/120 is roughly 30A. Yep, that's gonna pop a breaker.

Speaking of purging ones gas lines. I did a little MIGing today, on an old spike tooth drag harrow. Damn hitch frame had cracked next to the top link piece and was sort of flopping. So, I MIGed it up. Real pretty, it did.
No, I hadn't run that MIG in a while, and when it sits idle, the argon inside will diffuse out of all the lines, even behind the gas valve over time. One gets air all in the line. So one needs to purge it.
I learned that the hard way one time. Arc started, sputtering, and made an oxidized mess for the first inch or so. I realized it was air, and it needed purging beforehand.
I purged the hell of out it.

I just watched one. I hope AOP is still here. Anyway, it was DCEN welding of thick Al plate. I'd mentioned that. You use pure helium gas. Helium makes a hotter arc than Argon. Well, what it does is more uniformly distribute the heat. If you looked at the temperature of the arc profile, you'll see argon sort of concentrates in the middle, while helium makes a more spherical distribution.
Thick plate, high current, helium. You can "burn" the oxides off with going to AC. What they do sometime is do a root pass with DCEN like that, clean it up, then lay a top pass on AC to make it real pretty.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (Mzdiz) at March 28, 2023 01:57 AM (Mzdiz)
The thought just hit me. I imagine a bottle of 100% helium would cost -- maybe a few dozen eggs worth.

I don't expect to ever be doing thick aluminum plate like that. Most likely simple sheet aluminum, extrusions like ladder rail, and maybe repairs to light castings. And more steel than aluminum. But I did not want to to shut myself out of being tooled up for aluminum.

I was just watching a Youtube video on shooting arc welding. It's all about the "arc shot". Money shot, arc shot.
Would you believe you can do with damn smart phone camera. Well, some of the higher end one. And you can just put a clear protector in front of the camera lens. Some do this. They make apps that can turn the exposure way down. You can put a welding shade lens in front, but it turns out that doesn't work so well for a nice, clear video.
Beyond that, you get into various filter lenses for some higher end digital cameras. Those are what get those incredibly clear videos.
You can actually get a setup to mount your smart phone on your welding helmet. It has a protective case for the phone.

There is an outfit called "MeltTools" that makes specialized welding cameras, "Melt View" is the name. I was looking for prices -- not published, inquire for price quote. So, probably a bit spendy....
Anyway, they make cameras that fit right on the TIG torch. Also, have cameras rated to operate with 2" of the arc. Water cooled.
