Stupidity is far more dangerous than evil, for evil takes a break from time to time, stupidity does not.

Who dares not speak his free thought is a slave.

A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.

I'm too young to have any familiarity with tubes, but I have a faint recollection of seeing a testing table when I was a kid. I wonder whether there are any significant uses for tubes nowadays? Of course the stereophile lunatics duke it out all of the time over the burning question of whether tube amps are superior, but that is about as niche a use as I can imagine.

35 I remember testing and replacing tubes for both radios and TVs back in the day. Later on there were some niche uses for tubes in the lab where I worked. A high power RF generator used for induction heating used tubes. And we had a mass spectrometer that used a very sensitive tube-based electrometer pre-amp. This was in the day before the creation of specialized MOSFETS (called GIGFETS iirc) the had high enough input impedance to be able to compete.

Orion?
Fight Fire With Fire?
One?
The Four Horsemen?
Damage, Inc.?
Creeping fucking Death?

Nope.

Nothing Else fucking Matters.

A few years ago when they released a new remastered edition of their self-titled fifth album they did a separate album featuring popular singers and bands doing covers of that entire album. It was a three disc set. You know how many versions of Nothing Else Matters is on it? 12! Seriously. Twelve fucking versions of Nothing Else fucking Matters. In a row! Only like two versions of Of Wolf And Man. Sheit...

Anyway, what's this about Metal being a hole? Ohhhhhh, it's on now!

I remember using one of those tube testers at my local hardware store.
My dad was working on getting an old Zenith floor model radio working. I spent several interesting years listening to shortwave broadcasts on it. BBC, Radio Moscow, Radio Prague, Radio South Africa and Radio Berne from Switzerland. Lots of fun and pretty educational. Gave a remarkable perspective than the news on TV allowed.

-------
It was a communications SNAFU. A recon plane actually spotted Mikawa's force, but garbled the sighting report. The screening cruiser force for the Watchtower invasion force thought there was no surface threat in the offing. A hard lesson was learned in making assumptions about what a sighted Japanese force might actually be, or do. Also, when suddenly attacked in the night by a IJN cruiser squadron, maybe, dunno, RADIO THE ACTING COMMANDER AND TELL HIM ABOUT IT!!!

71 In my humble opinion, Richard B. Frank's book Guadalcanal is the best single volume history of the battle. It is objective, fair, and balanced as between the Yanks and the Japs. It covers air, sea, and land combat. My sole criticism is unfair. Instead of building to cathartic climax, the Japanese manage to successfully withdraw during the night. A good book for an advanced younger reader.

Back in college (I'm 29, so this was around 1991) they used to have free outdoor concerts at noon on Wednesdays, and one day the Goo Goo Dolls played. I'd never heard of them and there were maybe 5 other people in the audience, so apparently nobody else had heard of them either. I thought they were fantastic. After school that day I went to Tower Records, bought their latest CD (Hold Me Up) and listened to it nonstop for about the next 6 months.

Then a few years later their next album came out, and my musical tastes had changed and I thought it was kind of meh, but that's when they started to get popular so what do I know.

Timing can be everything, Anna. If the eastern scout force had known about a IJN cruiser squadron in the area, they might have been in a pattern to catch Mikawa's force.

187 Yes, I remember tubes and tube testers. Something went wrong with the tv, so my father would haul a bunch of tubes to test. If he found the bad tube, he'd simply buy a new one and plug it into the right socket.

We were all very confused when the tv manufacturers quit using tubes and we actually had to call the tv repairman. How the hell did the tv work without tubes? And paying for something you used to do all by yourself?!? Heresy!!!

Yuge difference in weight between an old-style CRT TV and a flatscreen of similar screen size.

The knock-on effects of smaller and lighter components are major. Portability, reduced shipping costs, etc.-- usually contributing to lower costs.

There's a theory that before a certain point, ad buys are basically worthless (to the extent that they matter at all). Maybe the idea is that with the Olympics, no one (aside from partisans; no one semi-persuadable) is really paying attention.

Then there's the DNC convention, which may reset things or be a dumpster fire.

There should be *some* counter-programming and pushback IMO, but I wouldn't expect the big offensive to occur until mid-September or so. You don't want to wait *too* long-- even setting early/absentee ballots aside (and the obvious , of fraud), people usually make up their minds well before Election Day. Timing is key, but of course a lot of it is guesswork and luck.

And, of course, the inevitable October Surprises, though it's unclear how much they really matter overall. A humdinger of a doozy could, I guess.

254 243. Vance should not accept that non-answer. Stalk them to the next place, and ask directly if he served in combat? If not, why did he claim to carry a weapon he wants to ban into combat? Why did he say he served in Afghanistan on TV? Why did he swallow a gallon of horse semen?

You know, the basics.

If Trump can hold his tongue some of the time, and act above it all while Vance lobs grenades....that could be a very good scenario.

JD is the right guy to do it, since he is a Jarhead who actually served in the Big Sandbox instead of dropping out like a chickenshit when it came time to make good on that oath of service. He dropped the hammer on Walz, and will do it again. Also like the stunt with Air Force 2 today, with pulling the "Hey hey, come out and play" scene really well.

270 Here is an attempt at Walz Stolen Valor damage control, a statement issued by the Harris/Walz campaign 6 or 7 hours ago

"After 24 years of military service, Governor Walz retired in 2005 and ran for Congress, where he chaired Veterans Affairs and was a tireless advocate for our men and women in uniform – and as Vice President of the United States he will continue to be a relentless champion for our veterans and military families. Governor Walz would never insult or undermine any American’s service to this country — in fact, he thanks Senator Vance for putting his life on the line for our country. It’s the American way."

Trump has been more restrained the entire campaign season. I remember before the Biden debate people here were freaking out that Trump would be too aggressive and blow it. He was very restrained and let Biden blow himself up with just a few well placed throat punches.

Trump became a billionaire by marketing not constructing buildings. I expect he is happy to keep his powder dry and let the Harris campaign punch themselves in the face until he decides to use the massive war chest he has accumulated to finish the job.

Harris has completely botched her first decision, picking a VP, and it is hurting her campaign and Trump hasn't said a word and given the media any ammo to blame him.

307 Tubes, and tube testers are tricky. The basic units can test whether a tube “should” work, or not.

99% of the time, a replacement tube in a radio or amplifier is a waste of time. What smokes vintage electronics is a defective power supply, many now expensive rectifier and audio output tubes are ruined this way. It is important to test for a shorted tubes, before operating a piece of equipment.

Tubes are pretty tough and reliable. They were used briefly for proximity fuses for artillery rounds, shot out of cannon. The Heathkit and Dynaco and McIntosh (and Collins) gear was outstanding, the height of the tube era before sand took over. Always wanted an R-390A

Yeah, aside from some kind of attack or other event, which are usually not what people think of as October Surprises. Usually they're some kind of scandal or opposition dump (like Bush's DUI).

Trump's already been vetted-- I assume there's nothing left to mine from his past, unless the Dems try to resurrect something that failed before. As far as Harris, Walz, or Vance-- in this day and age, there's no real incentive to delay any bombshell you might find. Maybe if something juicy happens to get uncovered, but as you say, it seems unlikely. Lookit all the stuff we've learned about Walz, who very very very few of us had even heard of before this week.

Those drugstore tube testers are pretty rudimentary. All they can do is measure cathode emission, and compare it to a standard. They cannot tell you if a tube will actually amplify. You need a mutual-conductance tube tester for that, which the TV service dudes all used.

Tubes are cool. Look into them, and you can practically see the electrons boiling off the cathode, navigating the maze of grids, and landing on the plate.

Anything old Western Electric - globe tubes - can be serious coin.

Russians and Chinese make reproductions for many of the audio output and rectifier tubes (which are subject to more rapid wear). Supposedly a few Japanese guys in the 1980s or 1990s armed with a rental van and phone book yellow pages criss crossed the US hitting up old TV repair shops buying up all the audio tubes they could find. Huge cult following for old electronics. Go figure.

For those not familiar with getters, they are a type of vacuum pump made of a highly reactive metal alloy (Ti, ZrAl, etc.), that reacts with active gases. They'll pump down almost anything (O2, N2, H2O, CO2, etc.) except noble gases.

434 Highly engineered tube audio can produce some of the finest musical reproduction known to man.

While the average tube-based, consumer-grade console were quite often mostly static-generators, with weak-framed, under magneted, thinly wired speakers and other "compromises" from the chassis up.

What made the "Silver Face" classic audio era (late '60s/all 70s/81~2, then finis), of Solid State circuitry, with real resistors, capacitors, huge transformers, toroidal chokes, discrete filtering circuits, etc... SO DAMN GOOD.

Not because they were better than the tube systems, but because you could buy one right off of the shelf, and it WORKED, and that, for a couple of decades or more.

Oh, and save for the Monster Receivers, most were affordable. More Hi-Fi, into more homes, than any era before or since. And just in time for the real Hi-Fi LPs, Dolby circuits and other niceties!

444 This is the crew that wants to run the country:

@LauraPowellEsq
UPDATE: Last night, Kamala Harris personally filed an updated Statement of Candidacy (aka Form 2) to designate Tim Walz as her running mate.

Since she used Biden’s personal candidate ID number (P80000722) instead of her own (P00009423), the FEC records are convoluted. Her newly filed Form 2 shows up on Biden's personal FEC page. But if you look at the 2024 election cycle, Biden is erased and replaced with Harris, as if he was never never running for President.

463 Werner is momentarily awake while embedded in the Harris/Walz campaign. These are dark hours of the soul that put the x in existential. The apparition of Hunter S. Thompson whom I mentioned in a thread below awoke me when he was loudly explaining to the USSS woman how her holster works. This was followed by the two of them riding a swivel chair along the balcony propelled by two fire extinguishers. Tomorrow looms, and for this fresh Hell Werner must sleep.

Oh, also I should mention, a young Werner was once compelled by Edgar Buchanan to believe that Bette Midler was a revenant who threatened the well-being of Tina Louise. I am more of a Mary Ann guy, but Werner is chivalrous. Buchanan was tripping balls of course, but that did not prevent us from rampaging through the Parisian catacombs in pursuit of the Midler beast. Buchanan had armed us with what he called "holy water," as well as wooden stakes and numerous crucifixes. Frau Midler evaded us, but we did catch Sonny Bono and gave him a good thrashing. Thus, Cher, are you avenged. Werner will hit the schnapps and retire to the sleep chamber.

487 I used one of those tube tester machines. When I got my first computer in 1981, I really wanted my own TV for a monitor rather than connecting to the family set in the living room. I managed to find a used early 70s 25" model for under $100. The local Radio Shack had the free tube tester. You took one of the free packets of stickers that allowed you to put a number on each socket and a matching number on the tube you'd pulled out for testing. You then determined what you needed and bought the tubes from Radio Shack to install at home. Worked great.

508 Speaking of things electronic, I have an LED puzzlement. The device in question is a 4-inch round amber park/turn lamp as used on trucks a lot. "Park" is supposed to be rather dim, and "turn" very bright. A grid of 40 old-style plastic LEDS.

On "park" about 8 LED's light kind of dimly; on "turn", a different 8 light kind of dimly. Took it apart. There is a round circuit board with the LED's in some series-parallel arrangement, with a (+) terminal and a (-) terminal. And there is a little driver board, with a few transistors, diodes, and maybe an IC regulator. I'm wondering if it is a time-domain device?

That's a Hollywood thing to accommodate issues like insurance and maturity. Kid actors are frequently much older than their characters, as that makes them better able to handle a script and work with in general. They tend to be on the small side as adults. Many are also plagued with lifelong kidney issues, as that can stunt growth.

At the opposite end, they like to cast people who look much older than they are for elderly characters. They have less of a tendency to die unexpectedly or take ill. For example, on 'The Golden Girls', Estelle Getty was actually a year younger than Bea Arthur (and Betty White), who played her daughter on the show. Rue McClanahan was 12 years younger than her supposed contemporary housemate.

John Mahoney, who played the father of Frasier Crane on the sitcom, was only 14 years older than Kelsey Grammer.

And everyone knows about Wilford Brimley, who was 23-26 years younger than the other men living in the assisted living facility in 'Coccoon'. The others were very big names before Brimley started his career and were cast in spite of their actual ages.

I wear Yatagan a lot once the weather cools! Vintage is divine, but I find the newer stuff is still great and cheap! I mean, I haven't bought a bottle in a few years, but it used to be very reasonable on thd discount sites like FragranceNet.

A UPS distribution center is a lot like a Venn Diagram (I love 'em!). Each circle is a UPS delivery vehicle and when these vehicles are at the distribution center, all their circles surround it, just like her unaborted babies surround a Golden Retriever mommy to suckle on her teats. When they have drunk their fill, each UPS vehicle pulls away to go throw up its meal hither and yon.

It is to laugh at those who contend that I know nothing about commerce or our economy!

No no. Let's not go with that spin.

The progressives wouldn't be too happy, either, like the Squat, but they've been thinned by two (so far) as well as the rest of the Dem Jew haters, including Jews! I think Shapiro's a self-loathing Jew what with apologizing (a struggle session) for doing service in Israel when he was young in order to try to get the veep offer.

614 So...I took the non-working LED, and hooked it up to my bench power supply. When I raised the voltage to 10 volts, some of the diodes lit, and the current went off-scale at 150 mA. Could not raise the voltage any higher. Since I happened to have a 12 volt battery on the bench, I hooked it up to that, and about half the diodes lit. Figuring I had nothing to lose, I tried shorting across the dark ones with a screwdriver. More came on, and stayed on, including the ones shorted, once the screwdriver was removed. Moved the power leads to the input side of the driver board, and yes, there are two brightness levels; all LED's lighting either bright or dim according to which input is being fed.

Maybe the diodes have too much impedance for enough current to flow in a series string to light them, until they get zapped? Would adding a shunt resistor to each diode help?

Posted by: JuJuBee, fact checker hammered by events at August 08, 2024 12:35 AM (tBmO2)


I think it's very different this time. In 2016, the Dems knew, just knew, Hillary was going to win against Trump. Hence all the shocked tears and the catatonic stares when she lost. But Dems don't think Kamalalaladingbat has much of a chance, less so now that she's picked a progressive lefty 'tard that is Walz for Veep. I mean, c'mon dude, lying about National Guard service? After 9/11? Puh-leeze. Maybe it was all fun and games when it was the peacetime National Guard, but when the shit hit the fan he ran. And the Dems think this is somehow honorable military service to be praised? I guess only the dishonorable could think such a thing. I never served but even I know it is not.

This guy's even worse than Swiftboat Kerry. And being praised as a heroic figure. Forget interesting times, we live in propaganda times. We live in The Age of Lies. Told straight to our faces with a Mayorkas smirk. Men can be women is just a glaring one.

Well, initially, I applied power directly to the LED array, which is 40 diodes in some sort of series-parallel network. The regulator board says "2007", the date, and "10-30 volts DC". Once I had jumped the various dark diodes, they lit and stayed on, and when I switched the battery to the input of the driver board, it performed as it should...connect power to "stop" diodes light brightly, disconnect power, diodes go out, connect power to "tail" the diodes come on at reduced brightness. It's like the LED's just needed a jump start.

Money quote:

The benefit of aspirin was largest among those with the unhealthiest lifestyles. Those with the lowest healthy lifestyle scores (unhealthiest) had a 3.4 percent chance of getting colorectal cancer if they did not take regular aspirin and a 2.12 percent chance of getting colorectal cancer if they took aspirin regularly. By contrast, in those with the highest healthy lifestyle scores (healthiest), the colorectal cancer rates were 1.5 percent in regular aspirin-taking group and 1.6% in the non-regular aspirin group. This means that in the least healthy group, treating 78 patients with aspirin would prevent one case of colorectal cancer over a 10-year period, while it would take treating 909 patients to prevent one case for the healthiest group. Lifestyle scores were calculated based on body mass index, frequency of cigarette and alcohol use, physical activity, and adherence to a high-quality diet.

There's a few quotes I love for their perspicacity. His 'In times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act' is one of my top picks. Even after understanding history and Goebbles, Riefenstahl and The Big Lie, we humans still fall for the same old shit. We seem to be at a point where it's 'Evolution? What's that?' We're fast becoming the Eloi, a herd of beef cattle for the elites. Luckily there's still some human push back left, Thank You Ireland and Britain. It's coming here, though, whether we like it or not, thanks to the millions of God knows who let in by the current Regime. Only difference will be we will have weapons that go 'pew! pew!' and not just 'stabby! stabby!' I only hope such real resistance spreads. It's the only way to stop the totalitarian global social credit system from happening.

That's interesting, never heard of that. I'm fascinated by a similar rebellion, after the US was established, the Whiskey Rebellion in 1794 in PA.

My ancestor, Joseph B. was drafted in NJ and sent to western PA to put down the rebellion. I guess no fighting much occurred. I need to read more about it.

Ominously, this was the first attempt by the federal govt in impose such a tax.

Who knew that Tim Walz was really a melted-and-hardened (but actually full of grease)dog turd on a sidewalk on a 100deg day, just waiting to be stepped on?

He comes across as a gigantically loud fat mouth, always trying to be everybody's friend, always doing favors, but asking for larger ones in return ... or a perpetually vindictive bully.

Kammie stepped in him, and I suspect a couple of Ds planned this. At this point Kammie should lose, without question.

Who will replace Tim? What politician is stupid enough? The scary thing is that Kammie might win anyway.

Same hairstyle, but that's the brunette daughter on PJ. Marlo's show was on ABC, not CBS, so I doubt she'd show up here.

And June took over for Bea on PJ? I'd forgotten that. So this would have been from late in the three shows' runs, not long before CBS axed all the "hayseed" comedies in favor of more urban stuff like Mary Tyler Moore. "Urban" in that time meant "citified" or sophisticated, not the sleazy ghetto-ish stuff it means today.
