Overnight Open Thread - 07/28/2024
[Roger Ball]
Another airline service meltdown is coming. It's not a question of "if," but "when" it will happen. And this one could make last holiday's airline problems look like a minor delay.Well, buckle up Horde! Here we go!
"Spirit has canceled more than 2,000 flights since Sunday due to a combination of staffing shortages, bad weather and technology problems."Winter, 2022--Southwest:
"Southwest Airline's cascading failures have checked a veritable bingo card of travel nightmares. And while every airline faced bad weather and cancellations last week, only Southwest fell apart."Summer, 2023--United :
"In short, Kirby traces the issue back to bad weather at Newark Airport (EWR) that limited flight operations, causing a domino effect of disruption across the system. Let’s take a look at the specifics:"Winter 2023—The FAA:
“Our preliminary work has traced the outage to a damaged database file. At this time, there is no evidence of a cyberattack...The FAA said Thursday evening that the data file “was damaged by personnel who failed to follow procedures.”Summer, 2024—Delta:
"With so many planes and crews now out of position, and the system used to schedule them still languishing, it's questionable whether Delta will be a reliable airline by the weekend, Potter said."
*Actually, I saw an estimated 8.5 million workstations worldwide. Like most major airlines, and service companies in general, procedures to cope with major service disruptions are created. In defense of Delta, the blizzard of 1993 initiated, at no small investment, the creation of their Operations Control Center. If you haven’t seen it, take my word for it, it rivals NORAD. Delta has been very good at anticipating problems and irregular operations by proactively “thinning” the schedule to help protect the schedule and, therefore, the passengers. But, in defense of Delta’s ops folks, it's hard to manage airplanes, crews and passengers if you are the person responsible and you are looking at a blue screen of death. This creates the question applicable to all of us: what's your plan B when the system goes down? Delta will recover at a huge cost and maybe some learning is occurring concurrent with the loss of revenue and customer loyalty. But in the meantime, it's not a good look. Like Delta 9994 was supposed to go to Air Venture on July 23rd. It was to show off the TEAM USA livery.
As one poster noted though, the athletes were not part of the design process. Boycott or support as you see fit. The Military Meltdown from CDR. Salamander:
How is the Red Sea Fight Going?
"So, in essence, we’ve expended all of 2022, 2023, and part of 2021’s procurement in just nine months."
Against. A. Sub-4th Rate. Non-state. Actor.
As the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, General Michael Kurilla, USA, recently sent a classified memo to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warning that the strategy to stop the Houthis’ disruption of shipping routes is “failing.” (Well, it's online so I guess it's not that classified.)
Kurilla...hmm…there can't be too many guys with that name walking around. I wondered, and thanks to Al Gore's amazing interwebs, I remembered a Michael Yon post from another war ago: Gates of Fire
“I’m hit three times! I’m shot three times!”
"With his leg mangled, Kurilla pointed and fired his rifle into the doorway, yelling instructions to the soldiers about how to get in there. "
Here is then Col. Kurilla in 2005 in Mosul, returning fire after having his femur shattered by a 7.62x39 bullet.
You should read the whole post. Yon has had his ups and downs during his wild career, but this was one of his better dispatches from the war zone. Here's an interview if you are so inclined: Q&A with Michael Yon. Stay frosty, Horde! No melting! Roger dot Ball dot OK at proton.me

Delta made it work, gave hubby nec and I 25,000 air miles as compensation. I know that they had to give hotel and food vouchers to those stranded and have a plan in place for you to request reimbursements for hotels, rental cars, etc. How this doesn’t cost them millions is a mystery to me. I’m amazed that they could have alleviated some of the mess.

1) looking strongly like Harris will pick Shapiro to try to win PA. This makes some sense since there is no scenario where Harris gets to 270 without PA.
2) second choice is Tim Walz, who Obama is pushing hard for. Interesting to me since no one is considering Minnesota to be anything but a blue state this time around. If we are discussing MN on election night being close, it will because we are seeing how far over 300 Trump will go.
3) Rasmussen posted their latest poll. Trump leads 50/43. Hitting 50 is generally a major benchmark since there is no way to get undecideds and make up ground. In 2020, Rasmussen final poll was Biden 48/47.
4) WSJ posted their latest poll. Trump leads 48/46. WSJ final poll in 2020 was Biden 52/42.
I'm thinking of buying stock in paper mills, Dems are going to need a lot of fake ballots.
5) Video dropped by Harris fanboys of the line to get into Harris event in Henderson NV. The line is about 30-40 people long. The commentary about how MAGA should be afraid was amusing.

He's the one who was excommunicated by the Globalist Francis...
Shadow of Ezra
@ShadowofEzra
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, who was excommunicated from the Church by order of Pope Francis, has come out strongly condemning the satanic Olympics in Paris as a vile attack on God by the anti-Christian elite who want to undermine traditional family roles.
He says these satanic rituals are a recurring theme, previously seen at the 2012 London Olympics, the 2016 Gotthard Tunnel opening, and the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
He was disturbed by the following:
- Transvestite and effeminate dancers
- A parody of the LGBTQ+ Last Supper
- Holograms of the horsemen of the Apocalypse
- A decapitated Marie Antoinette celebrating the French Revolution
He even called Emmanuel Macron’s wife a transvestite and described Michelle Obama as a muscular man in a wig.
“Emanuel Macron, who passes off a transvestite as his own wife with impunity, just as Barack Obama is accompanied by a muscular man in a wig.”
He ends by advocating for Christians to unite globally and boycott the Olympics and its sponsors.

The new talking point the Dems are pushing is "Trump is weird".
This is generating many hilarious memes on X. The Harris team is being run like a school student council election.
Brings up an important point though. Campaigns are tooled for a year to get ready for a national election. Harris has 100 days. It would be daunting if they had Bill Clinton as the nominee, much less the Worst Candidate in History(tm)

Oh, indeed, Erdogan's behavior is appalling because, until he came along, Turkey was a close ally of Israel. This goes back centuries. There is a Jewish Quarter of Istanbul where Jews settled after being kicked out of places such as Spain. For all the crap they had been through, when they got there and found all they had to do was pay the dhimmi tax and the authorities would leave them alone, they found that to be a good deal. Hence, Turkey and Israel always were friendly towards each other. Until Erdogan.

I tried modeling once, but gave up on it. I know the theory, but I don't have access to the right data sets.
Now I just look at polls and poll trends to see where the electorate is going.
I don't even try to figure out what cheating will occur. The best I can do is look at the actions of the Democrats. In 2020 they were cool as ice while not campaigning at all. I couldn't figure it out and was making me insane. Learned why, they had a plan in place where they didn't need to campaign, they were ballot harvesting.
This year they are replacing their candidate 100 days before an election. The basement strategy was available to them, but instead they did lawfare, a hail mary debate, attempted assassination, and now candidate replacement.
So who knows?
But as of right now Trump is on track to get 85 to 90 million votes.

I actually have an answer for this.
Ballot cheating takes logistics and is actually hard. Look at 2000 Mules. That took months of work to stuff enough absentee ballots into the drop boxes. You can't just fire up a laser printer in the backroom and bring them in on a forklift to a precinct. They have to have numbers and tie to a voter on the rolls.
Even with the late night antics in Detroit, they had teams of people having to hand fill out ballots using names of people who hadn't voted.
The more legitimate votes Harris can get, the easier it is to get to a viable level of cheating. It also helps to keep Trumps numbers down with a good campaign, because you can vote using the ballot of a Trump voter that is sitting home.

The current narrative I'm seeing is Christians are just so stupid and egotistical, they can't understand the subtle nuances of a Greek based Dionysus baccanalia scene. That any Christian is dumb for thinking it was the last supper.
Never mind major news outlets reported it as a last supper homage, and they lost a sponsor because the sponsor saw it as an attack on Christianity.
I have a theory about the painting/art history aspect of that, that ties it definitively to the louvre. It might be out in left field. I'm going to mull it over and post thoughts in the arts thread tomorrow.

I have Charles Moore's three volume bio of Margaret Thatcher. In it, there is a picture of her, at a campaign stop, reading from the 1983 Labour manifesto. This was the document called "the longest suicide note in history". Trump can, and should, do something similar. Broadcast his opponent's speeches and statements far and wide. Whether it be Harris or something else.

sounds like Maduro lost big and is now going to move to phase 3 of Socialism.
Simon Bolivar wrote as he was dying waiting for the ship to take him to exile: "This country will fall inevitably into the hands of the unrestrained [mob] and then into the hands of tyrants so insignificant they will be almost imperceptible, of all colors and races; [o]nce we’ve been eaten alive by every crime and extinguished by [viciousness], the Europeans won’t even bother to conquer us. If it were possible for any part of the world to revert to primitive chaos, it would be America in her last hour.

Not unless Harris picks up the pace. If the election was held today, Trump gets 343 EV..
There is a 7 point national shift toward Trump since 2020. They are describing 2020, where Biden "officially" had a 3 point national lead.
It's copium, because those leftists are sure as hell not in on any backroom plans for cheating.
As of today, Harris is doing no better than Biden. And Biden was heading to massive loss.

He was a theater auter that had designed a bunch of shows for high profile French venues, like opera. If anything, designing a controversial Olympics will be a resume booster!
I'll admit, I loved the mashup of heavy metal Gojira with an opera singer doing Bizet's Carmen. With the backdrop of headless Marie Antoinettes in that gorgeous building. It was a stunning visual. But it was too gory for a supposedly PG show, and for the Olympics was completely off brand.
I think that UK opened the door for this, when Danny Boyle directed the opening ceremonies, and put in those stupid hospital beds as propaganda for their socialist medicine.

Not sure how much longer I'll be here so I'll just leave this here. The style of guitar is going to dictate things. My own preference always revolves around either the Gibson 500T, or the Seymour Duncan Distortion. Anything gibson, or anything like a gibson that has a tune o matic style bridge, or made from mahogany, or wood with similar characteristics usually gets the 500T. If the guitar is resonant and louder while being played unpluged its getting a 500T. IF...the guitar is like a jackson, or has a floyd rose style bridge and is made from a denser wood, its getting the duncan distortion. Thats how it is in my world for what I do. Again, I really need to know what guitar and amp you're using to get you in the ballpark.

He thinks the Trump +2 national average we saw before the debate is the natural state of play.
Which was bad enough for the Dems to stage a coup.
I'm honestly surprised by the polls today, I thought she would be doing better. Trump hitting 50% shocked me.

The charm that made college football tick has long been wrecked. Old rivalries eliminated. Conferences weakened. Only the two, maybe three, will be left after all the wrecking is over. I'm going to be watching the DII, DIII, though. At least they seem to be still 'college' and don't destroy the 'regionality' of the sport. I'm not thrilled with where big-time college football is at right now.

A good take I saw was that for the debate, Trump just needs to throw her off balance, so she does the annoying laugh she does when she gets uncomfortable, as a defense mechanism. Then if he's lucky, while flustered she'll say something dumb.
He has to be careful though in how he plays it. Tulsi thrashed her good, but she had the woman card to play. He needs to stay focused on task and presidential, so any accusations of sexism or racism can't be overplayed by the media.

As the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, Kurilla recently sent a classified memo to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warning that the strategy to stop the Houthis’ disruption of shipping routes is “failing.” Kurilla pushed for a more aggressive U.S. response. The Journal quotes an official as stating that “many people found the tone of [Kurilla’s] memo to be a bit shocking,” suggesting it effectively warned that “U.S. service members will die if we continue going this way.”

The Fender type pickups are three in a set and they are single coil. You can get more jagged raw sound out of them. The switch has five positions:
1 Bridge
2 Bridge and mid
3 Mid
4 Mid and neck
5 Neck
The mid coil runs the opposite direction, so the 2 and 4 positions are similar to humbuckers.

The book title is "Ty Cobb: A Terrible Beauty" by Charles Leerhsen, published 2015
From the blurb: "After his death in 1961, however, something strange happened: his reputation morphed into that of a monster--a virulent racist who also hated children and women, and was in turn hated by his peers.
How did this happen? Who is the real Ty Cobb? Setting the record straight, Charles Leerhsen pushed aside the myths, traveled to Georgia and Detroit, and re-traced Cobb's journey, from the shy son of a professor and state senator who was progressive on race for his time, to America's first true sports celebrity. In the process, he tells of a life overflowing with incident and a man who cut his own path through his times--a man we thought we knew but really didn't."

LOL! Laundry related, but not Olympic-level:
Mom (RIP) called me up one day, saying she needed to wash a comforter, but it was too large for her washer. Asked if I had "anything big" to wash, so we could split the cost of the *huge* front-loader at laundromat & have some chit-chat time while there.
Sure! I have a kingsize comforter to wash, too!
We put in our soap & coins, get coffee & wait.
Mom, looking sheepish, says: "I have a confession to make... my comforter had dog pee on it."
Me, laughing: "Mine had cat barf on it."

There are a lot of factors which have gone into making current air travel hell. But IMAO, it all started with airlines trying to cuts costs sometime in the late '70s-early '80s. Some accountant genius said if they removed one of the two black olives from their in-flight salad, they'd save x number of bucks. So they did. And the cost-cutting never stopped. Leg room went out the window. Fees for luggage. Smaller seats. More puddle jumpers so less seat availability. Less flights. And it still continues. Next thing you know, they'll be adding a meal service charge fee for each flight, including a mandatory 20% tip.
So I blame everything bad with air travel on the loss of one black olive in a salad.

Well, it seems to be gibson like, even has the same scale. I'm thinking a gibson 500T for the bridge position and 496R for the neck position. The 500T is a ceramic magnet pickup like what you have now, but much better. The dimarzio can be a tad muddy sometimes. The 500T has serious nads, but has a little more clarity and serious crunch. Roll the volume back and it gets very clean if needed. This..this is assuming you want to keep the thickness you got with the dimarzio, but improve on it. If you want a slightly darker sound than the 500T go with the duncan distortion, both are ceramic magnet. The duncan distortion is a tad more extreme, and the 500T may be a wee bit more of a universal solder. If you're looking to back off and get more of a classic rock sound then there will be other choices to make, like maybe the Duncan 59. I have had great luck with the 2 pickups I mentioned and probably have a dozen of each in guitars. They slice like a hammer.

I've read more than a few of his books. I find he has a great beginning and middle in his books. But endings always feel rushed and unsatisfying, as if it's 4:58 p.m., he looks at his watch and says, 'Well, time to wrap this up. Cocktails at 5.'
The one book, well books, I enjoyed were the 5 serial book story 'The Green Mile'; I still have the five smaller paperback books. It was a good marketing strategy. But the story was also good. I don't know, somehow supernatural in a more human way.

Asimov, too.
It's funny, there have been many great authors in their period but who fail the test of time. Someone like Sinclair Lewis, e.g. (His first few books were great but then they turned into potboilers.)
There's Twain and Poe. Or Mickey Spillane. I'm trying really hard to think of great American authors from the past who are still read today. I know 'the great American authors', like Willa Carther, but still read? It's difficult. Schools no longer require most of them so 'hunting out those books' vs. video games, video games always win.

Anyway you could identify your links that require adblockers to be disabled?

I could but that problem seems to vary from one person's browser setup to another, since many browsers have their own ad blocking code. I hate the sites were I allow all ads and cannot refresh the ad blocker anyway.

Toughest read for me, over many many months, after stopping for a while, too, was 'Bleak House'. Some Dickens is just dense.
'Gulag' took a long time to read, as well, but that's because there was so much to take in, to comprehend, that you needed a little time to process it.

"Fahir (pictured) is seen punching a female police officer in the face, breaking her nose, before knocking down a second woman officer"
It's interesting to notice that you're supposed to pretend they're equals and just police officers right up until the point where stuff starts happening and then you're required to treat the female officers differently since they're women.
