30 Coppola just keeps trying to make art films and isn't any good at it.

I mean, let's be serious: Has he really ever done anything close to the Godfather? And my other unpopular opinion is that the Godfather Part II is also boring and scattered and messy.

Posted by: ace at October 04, 2024 04:58 PM (KRtlO)

--- ---

Godfather Part II has the problem of trying to fit two movies of story into one. With all the Vito Flashbacks and the entire story for Michael going from Vegas to Cuba to D.C., it gets kinda confusing and drawn out.

It's good, I enjoy them both, but Part II is not the tight story and pacing of the first one.

The Godfather Saga/Epic and other re-cuts which put the timeline for all of the movies in correct order are better, but who wants to sit and watch 5 - 7 hours? -

50 I watched Taibbi's speech at the 'Rescue The Republic' rally in D.C. There were quite a lot of very good speeches. I found Jordan Peterson funny. He was on stage with a praying Russel Brand. At one point Brand mentioned how he, being British, and Peterson, being Canadian, both appreciated the 1st Amendment. When Brand had said Peterson was Canadian, Peterson interjected, "For now!"

But really worth the time to watch at least some of the headline speakers.

OTOH, you have Senile Joe walking into the White House press briefing room for the first time in his Presidency just as Kamala started speaking at a rally - all the networks cut from Kamala to Joe.

Joe then explained that Kamala was completely involved in everything that his Administration did, and walking out said in answer to a question that he was back in the race.

Joe really, really hates Kamala.

93 We have already established the precedent that if it's an emergency, your property and rights mean nothing.

I had an argument about this at one point with a leftist. His ultimate argument was basically, the constitution is wrong if it doesn't allow an exception for an "emergency" - and I pointed out this was the whole point of the document. There are no emergencies that let someone in the government legally take my rights...at least the Constitutionally based government.

I disagree. That style of dash, with the radio speaker on the far left, and the glove compartment on the far right, was introduced in the '58 models. I had one. There were several different steering wheels used, depending upon trim level, and possibly on where the car was sold. And that looks like a rally car, with the two stop watches, and what looks like a navigator's speedometer there. So some owner mods are entirely possible, too. I remember ditching the two-spoke wheel in one of my bugs for the black one with 3 spindly spokes, because I liked it better.

99 I think FEMA is implementing their DEI Equity strategy by confiscating all of the donated food, water and supplies.

They can't have one group getting more than another group.
They want everything centralized and categorized at central locations so they can divvy it up and hand it out "equitably" in the communities. Apparently local churches, local govs, and local & national aid charities can't be trusted to do this?

And then FEMA can bring their preferred overpaid contractors and suppliers in to rape the taxpayer once the charity runs out.

Where are the Helene Charity Telethons like for 9/11 & Katrina and so many other disasters? Is that not done anymore or do the deaths have to hit a certain number (500? 1000?) before the media & celebrities care?

Will they ignore it as much as possible because, election in a month?

I have the original 1960 gasoline heater that came in my bus. Never installed it, as the winters aren't brutal here and it fits in the engine compartment right where the A/C compressor is.

The first year Corvair (1960) had only a gasoline heater. They developed a hot air system for 1961. People complained the heater robbed 1 or 2 MPG.

133 Why do you think Authority would ever respond any other way ? Have you never been pulled over by a traffic cop in an area where crime regularly happens ?

Why are businesses usually at least somewhat responsive to their customer's wants? Well, because the customers might take their money elsewhere if they are unhappy enough with the goods/services provided.

But bureaucrats? People can't switch to a new government the way they can trade ATT for Verizon or Ford for Toyota so why would they care about making their customers happy?

In my area I saw someone on facebook endorsing the local incumbent because he helped the voter deal with government paperwork and...the incumbent isn't a bad guy but think about what this means. We all consider it normal that if you do not have connections that the government will tell you to FO and that if you do have connections only then will they do what they are supposed to.

The Nazis could never produce enough synthetic oil as they never did get those Caucasus oil fields. They did have Romania's oil field production for a while until we bombed Ploesti. So the Nazis had to be creative, what with an army that mostly moved by horse and bicycle. And diesel engines don't do well in very cold weather, either. My parents at one time had an Olds Delta 88 Diesel. I remember the long times I had warming that beast up in the winter, and it wasn't anywhere near Russian winter cold.

Yeah. Pyrolysis gas is not the same as syngas. Syngas made by the Fischer-Tropf process is a liquid fuel equivalent to petroleum gasoline, but made from coal. And the SASOL plant in South Africa used that process for may years.

I have had no personal experience with either Fischer-Tropf syngas, or pyrolysis gas. The Germans ran airplane engines on the former, and it was the chief motor fuel in South Africa when sales of petroleum to the apartheid regime were restricted.

By my reading, pyrolysis gas is a low-grade fuel, and contains water vapor, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen in addition to combustible gases. And some reports say it can be quite abrasive to engines. If quality motor fuel became unavailable, or ruinously expensive, I might give it a try, but it would be in a beater vehicle.

Yup. I went to the funeral of one of them today. A condolences card to the family and one more name crossed off my Christmas card list (her husband died earlier this year, and less surprisingly).

She was a colleague, not a relative, but was one of those people who make up the heart of a small department in a larger organization. It was nice to see some of my old colleagues again, but also an example of why I left. Literally none of them stayed for the reception to talk; we took a group photo and then everyone was gone. They barely said anything to the family and little more to each other.

The group photo will be useful for the next funeral.

Correct. It's SASOL. I wonder how many gallons I burnt over 30 years. Distillation and refining of the synthetic oil produced more gasoline than diesel, the latter which was th preferred product, so excess gasoline even got exported to neighboring Black countries. Made us mad because that kept the price higher domestically.

As the war progressed, the Allied bombing campaign had a big effect on manufacturing output.

And to your point about "perfectly working stuff," the Germans also had a bad tendency to over-engineer war materiel. Some tank models spent more time being repaired than fighting. And they always went for the gaudy when it came to military 'wonder weapons'. The Germans were impractical, but then that was Hitler, strategist par execellence.

314 "As the war progressed, the Allied bombing campaign had a big effect on manufacturing output."

This is actually not true. As the strategic bombing campaign intensified, German production of armaments increased.

What did happen was getting those war materials to the front lines became increasing difficult as transportation lines became more and more disrupted or destroyed.

When you have to drive tanks to the front lines they wear out tracks and breakdown more easily.

The Tiger II was a mess to repair and had no recovery vehicle capable of towing a 70 ton monster back to the shop. Most were dynamited in place to avoid capture.

315 As the war progressed, the Allied bombing campaign had a big effect on manufacturing output.

Well no, that isn’t true - that was what astonished the War department, and Speer (Armaments minister) wrote about this in his book. They increased production until late 1944 or into 1945

Even the classic “ball bearing factory” air raids, it turns out that ball bearing machines are pretty tough. They didn’t have especially accurate bombs then. If a pilot/bombadier got it well within a city block or so, you were doing very well. They knocked the buildings down, but the bastards got the machines themselves back up and running.

Nothing like this could ever happen in America, thankfully, because are no ball bearing machines in America. It’s just a brilliant strategy outsourcing critical or strategic item production to competitors or potential enemies.

319 I have long been unsuccessful at getting a crispy canned corned beef hash. Not without it largely sticking and burning. Cast iron, teflon, cook slow, cook fast, nuh-uh.I am a failure at this. Still tastes damned good with a few eggs cracked into the mess and scramble. Good smothered in sausage gravy (along with everything else).

I use cast iron exclusively, reseasoned after each use. Try using butter, medium heat with a tablespoon of vegetable oil, that normally prevents sticking for me and gets that great crust.

Try this instead. Dice 2-3 potatoes a little small. In a hot non-stick pan add oil and potatoes. Stir to coat in oil then leave alone. Once that side is crisp, start turning the potatoes over. Once the potatoes are near done, you can add diced red pepper, jalapenos, onions. In that order, to properly cook the peppers. Once the onions are translucent, add a can of Libby's Corned Beef Hash, scraping off any excess fat. Break into the pan and toss with the cooked mix until the corned beef is warmed through. Top with sunny side up eggs.

You get so much more bang for your buck -- and for your stomach.

This may help:

Use butter, bacon grease, or cooking spray-- let the pan get hot & bottom coated well with your choice of fat, before adding the hash. Spread it out in the pan & let cook (without stirring or fussing with it) for a few minutes, then flip it over & let cook again. Stir around *now* if you want, cooking to desired 'dryness' and make nooks for eggs if you want. Turn down heat & cover until eggs are done to your liking.

Enjoy!

I like the story of one of the European airports putting a ceramic fly right in the sweet spot of the urinals where there is no outside splash. Guys will aim for the fly every time.
Posted by: Sebation Melmoth


The grade school (K-6, actually) I went to had urinals designed for, well, grade-school boys. The drain was at floor level so even the shorter kindergarteners could use them.

The air-freshener mats the janitors put in them had targets drawn on them! With scoring numbers on the rings and everything.

It may not have prevented all the splashing, but at least kept it at "mop" level.

One of the Chiefs put in some Jane Fonda urinal targets. Quite the hit with all those guys, most of whom had seen VN duty.

327 Even the classic “ball bearing factory” air raids, it turns out that ball bearing machines are pretty tough. They didn’t have especially accurate bombs then. If a pilot/bombadier got it well within a city block or so, you were doing very well. They knocked the buildings down, but the bastards got the machines themselves back up and running.
