Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - April 23, 2025 [TRex]
Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety.
This is the Wednesday night ONT. [Top photo: 14th century bell tower from Curon, an Italian village that was flooded in 1950 to create Lake Resia in Italy]
A team of four pickleball enthusiasts broke a Guinness World Record in Texas by playing 36 consecutive hours of matches. The team, who call themselves The Pickle Breakers, took on the record for the longest marathon playing pickleball at Pickler Universe in Carrollton, and ended their attempt at 36 hours.
I guess they get a participation trophy? The story doesn't say who won.
Written correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Are you lurking? Come out and play. For the avoidance of doubt, TRex is not a candidate for the Papacy.

My friends had a bunch of their cousins over for a birthday party. All of the kids are under 12.
But my friends and their family gave the kids walkie talkies as they went out to play. I thought that was a pretty cool idea.

He is responsible for the compliance monitoring and enforcement of all CFIUS and Team Telecom mitigation instruments for which the Department of Defense is a Committee Monitoring Agency (CMA).
Previously, Mr. Turza led efforts on behalf of Deloitte Consulting’s Government & Public Services practice at the senior manager level, advising defense and national security clients in CFIUS enforcement, secure supply chain, security policies, and insider threats. A bronze star recipient, his first career was as an U.S. Army officer, serving combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan...

As Ace complained about, a 30 year old is tested, and found to be within "normal range", a sample of men from 20 to 80. If the 30yo had the lungs or knees or skin or eyes of an 80yo, the doctor would rightly think it was dire.

Step 1) Get wife's permission
2) In the unlikely event you are still alive, Meet and befriend Kate Upton.
3)get Kate to divorce baseball megastar pitcher Justin Verlander.
4) Bury all the other people who want to marry a newly single Kate Upton.
5) In the unlikely event that happens, convince Kate to fall in love with you.
6) Marry Kate Upton.
Enjoy the envy of people all over, and be prepared to listen to a LOT of women asking Kate "Just what, exactly, were you thinking? Too much drugs, dear?"

While there is some dispute about this, it is just possible that the first man made object to make it to outer space was a manhole type cover, one of the atomic tests at the Nevada proving grounds in the 1950s was detonated underground in a long tube with a heavy metal cover. It was never found, and certain calculations indicated it may have reached escape velocity. Oops

There is a story, or maybe a legend, about the days of underground nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site. Supposedly, a bomb was placed a few hundred feet down a wellbore, which was capped off by a round cast iron manhole cover. The test was monitored by a high-speed movie camera, the kind that could catch bullets in flight. When the bomb went off, the manhole cover appeared in one frame of the film, but was gone in the next. Based on the field of view of the camera, and the frame rate, they calculated that the manhole cover left the ground going fast enough to reach low-Earth orbit. It was never found.

I remember a sweet Jewish girl giving me a kiss backstage in the dark during a play rehearsal. Then getting a call from her that night that since she was Jewish and I was not we could not date. I sensed her family listening in. She later happily married a soon very wealthy Jewish boy, and as far as I can tell they have been very good together. But I remember that kiss.

I had a friend, George, who worked out in a service garage at D/FW airport when a co-worker had his diesel VW Rabbit flat-bedded in because the co-worker's girlfriend filled the tank with gasoline. So they drained the tank into the floor drains and thought nothing of it, until somehow flame was introduced (i'm guessing cigarette) to the storm drain outside and the resulting flame and rapidly increased pressure allegedly blew manhole covers off all over the place.

This plastics in the brain thing is concerning. The mean level of microplastic particles in brain tissue has increased about 50% in 10 years, according to testing of tissue samples from autopsies.
Such tiny little plastic particles (on the order of the size of virus particles) accumulate in various other tissues as well, but seem particularly keen on accumulating in the brain somehow.
Dementia patient's autospy samples show significantly higher microplastic concentrations than that average.

Interesting problem, though. It has its maximum velocity at launch, and goes (presumably) straight up. Aerodynamic drag, and surface heating will be at its worst through the troposphere. If it makes it through the troposphere more or less intact, I'm guessing it would stand a good chance of reaching outer space. But if going stright vertically, it's going to fall back, like Bezos" penis plane.

I'm not sure I'd call unreacted, unenriched uranium nuclear waste. There is generally some low level of naturally occurring uranium in soil, rocks, and tap water. Need more information.
Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug
It's an alpha emitter. Alpha particles are entire helium nuclei. You don't need lead bricks to protect yourself. Some "fast fashions" from Shein will stop it.
Also, the half-life of the usual U-238 isotope--which is 99% of all uranium on the planet--is 4.5 billion years.
It's more of a danger from long-term heavy-metal poisoning than from radiation, I think.

EFPs are shot at much lower velocities and form metal jets.
Plater charges are ever slower and can / should stay intact... always wanted to make a platter charge with a manhole cover. Anyway
This was probably turned into a plasma jet and disapated long before it got close to leaving the atmosphere.

Heh, I asked Grok about the Operation Plumbbob manhole cover. The estimated velocity would've been about 66 km/s, 5x earth escape velocity, or Mach 200.
The compression wave in front would've been heated on the order of 10K Kelvin. That would've vaporized the thing instantly. It would've escaped the troposphere in only 0.18s, but that wouldn't been enough to prevent the intense heat from flat-out vaporizing it.

Although Schussler settled on Portland cement for the construction of the dam, he was acutely aware of its limitations. His primary concern was the potential for cracking of the concrete due to shrinkage and heat buildup during the curing process. In response, Schussler developed an innovative solution: interlocking, irregularly shaped concrete blocks — 10-15 ft wide, 6-10 ft high, and 30-40 ft long, according to the HAER report.

Age of the patient brain did NOT show a correlation with plastic content. WTH?
Also, most of the content was just above 5 nm. Supposedly our kidneys filter out particles smaller than 5 nm.
Probably need to find the main source of the microplastics that are entering our bodies and start making some changes.
I suspect RFK Jr. would like to see some more data on this topic!

Now I'm worried about microplastics. All those plastic toy soldiers I played with as a kid, all the little pieces I detached (breaking off microplastics into the air). Can they do a brain check while you're still breathing? Personally, I'd like to find out if there's any there there. And by there, I mean brain functioning synapses.

This is interesting. The microplastic particle come from two sources, so-called primary and secondary. The former is when tiny little plastic particles are intentionally used in products for various purposes. The infamous "microbeads" used in cosmetics are a big example.
Secondary sources come from breakdown and degradation of larger plastic pieces. This is likely not as bad by a longer shot.
This microbead use went up sharply in the 90s and peaked in the 2000s. The US and EU have banned their use in a lot of stuff, including many cosmetics and skin care stuff. I remember something about that at the time, but not the details.

Of the three, I really never used to buy coffee 'out' so I never really drank from styrofoam; very few places I've used for take-out uses styrofoam, so there's that, too. The red cup, sometimes in college, not much after; in college, I used to carry around on my belt tied with a rope a pewter mug in case I ran into a keg party; unbreakable and damn handy. Now the bottled water. That one is a serious issue. I never used to carry around water. Now, when it gets warm, I have to have water. And since we're now a low trust socierty, no drinking water fountains. But that's the only time I drink out of plastic now. Glasses and ceramic mugs at home. Older ones, too. (Not like the new 'Pyrex' crap.)
This one time, I bought a 24 (?) pack of water bottles. I didn't drink some for about a year. When I looked at the unopened bottles, the water level had decreased by a good inch or two. If that bottle's not holding in water, then what's it leaching into me? Thank goodness I haven't been around long enough to have been born attached to a water bottle. 'Rubber' hoses FTW! Waitaminnit.

I was in my mid 40s. I was on a lower division dart team (Division IV or V). Even though it was darts, we got competive, moved up a Division and won it. Still have the casual shirt. (Never did hit a 180 in a game. A 160 [a happy mistake], but no 180. Division I players were potting 180s like there was no tomorrow.)
When 17, won a city-wide team bowling tournament. (Thank you, handicaps.)
But my favorite is a chess trophy. Local high school tournament. Swiss rules. 8-game tournament. Lost the first game and into the losers' bracket I went. Ended up 6-1 and playing 7-0 in the last game and he's going to win the tournament, no matter what. I lose, I'm like 8th or 9th. I win, he gets an 'L' and I get 2nd. I got 2nd.
Winning is great. But there are ways to measure winning by losing.

It comes as no surprise, that the same people who want to decouple the word Judo from Christian when describing what America was founded on, don’t understand that this is an impossible feat.
The Old Testament shaped the founders’ worldview by providing a narrative of liberty (Exodus), a structure for governance (covenant), a moral compass (Mosaic law), and a sense of divine purpose (providence). It offered a language and logic for resisting tyranny, framing rights, and balancing human frailty with hope—ideas baked into the Declaration, Constitution, and early American ethos. While later termed "Judeo-Christian," this influence was immediate and practical in 1776, grounding their vision in a biblical heritage that felt both timeless and urgent.

Yep, this severe vs mild autism thing needs to be quantified. I've seem some horror stories of parents with these severe autism cases, which are nightmarish to deal with.
Question is if the rates of that (and not just diagnosing normal human variability as some autism spectrum thing) are increasing exponentially as well. And note an exponential is the best fit for the autism rate curve.
Exponentials are "slowly at first, then all at once" curve, like bankruptcy is oft described.

There's needs to be a correlating study as to when being a victim of something occurred. Peanut allegies, e.g. Dealing with the world as it is, not as you wish it to be. Making everybody else a slave to someone's particular issue. Social engineering. Money for ADHD-diagnosed kids in schools with special classrooms and special ed teachers. The teachers' union itself. The left has truly subverted our society at a level more deeply than I could have ever imagined. Taxpayers even paid for all this trans madness thanks to NGOs pushing it while taking our money.

1. Al is very abundant and we absorb some all the time. I cannot believe that it can be toxic. Divalent and trivalent ions are very poorly absorbed by the gut (use of Mg salts as purgatives; iron deficiency in spite of abundance of iron).

My faulty memeory says they using these chemicals as some sort of binding agent to help in the transfer into human body cells. Not a microbiolgist by any means, nor have any intention of ever being one. But the gist was, yes, the spillage was considered toxic.
The childhood vaccine schedule is practically mandated if your kids go to public school, probably private to a great degree.
All I know is the childhood vaccine schedule in the 1950s was far less than today. I'm not saying advancements haven't been made, but let's just say I'm very skeptical now of the FDA's vaccine approval process. Big Pharma's grubby hands are involved. They bribe the FDA to approve drugs that screw us up and needing a constant refill of drugs in the future, some newer and better and approved in the same manner. From a financial statement standpoint, it's insidously genius.

These are immune adjuvants, the meaning of that is they stimulate an immune response that wouldn't otherwise occur. Give the vaccine (ie whatever antigen or dead/attenuated virus particle) you're trying to induce immunity alone, and nothing happens. The immune system pays it no attention.
The adjuvant causes the immune system to notice. Think of it as an "irritant", something the immune system notices, and responds to. That causes it to notice the antigens, and then the immune response occurs.
The aluminum salt adjuvants are about the strongest there are. And that means the immune system really, really doesn't like them and goes after them hard.

A couple of owners after the founding family (1908 if I recall) finally bought by the widow of the rich guy who owned the Saints.
Decided "Dixie" was offensive and raciss,
So re-branded to who knows or cares what.

I've had two complete vaccine schedules in my life. The first as a baby. The second when I went to Japan in '71 (Boy Scouts). Over 4 to 6 months before I went, I had to have my vaccine card filled out (at the US Public Health Hospital, with Navy doctors/corpsmen) to go overseas to the Jamboree. Yellow fever and other things I did not have to have here when I was a kid. I remember one time I got sick as a dog from one injection. But when you're 15, you get over it. Got to get out of school to get the shots though, so there was that.

The toxicity of any product is directly related to the amount of money to be made by those who propose to abate it.
You do not know any single person who has ever contracted asbestosis from working in a building with asbestos products in it. Not flooring, not pipe insulation, nothing. The only people who suffered from asbestosis were asbestos miners who worked without any protection from inhaling it while mining. But, the industry that cleans asbestos from your building makes more money that God to do so. Its value is in abatement, not safety.
The particle size for fibers in fiberglass insulation are smaller and more deadly than anything made of asbestos, no matter how friable it might be. But, the companies who make fiberglass insulation don't want you to know that, and so there is no money in abating it.
Most of what they say can kill you can only do so if you are so immersed in it you can't breathe.
It is really just a load of crap.

If I've got the gist of this Al-adjuvant-toxicity thing:
Aluminum is very toxic to the brain. Luckily, it's very hard for Al to get into the brain. Very little of ingested Al is absorbed, hardly any at all from the gut. What little gets in is in dissolved form, Al ions. These are quickly eliminated by the kidneys, and they can't cross the blood-brain barrier. No Al gets into the brain.
With adjuvants the "salt" used is not really dissolved, it's a *nano-particle*. It doesn't dissolve into Al ions in the plasma very fast, and they're too big for the kidneys to filter. The immune system goes after those particles hard. Macrophages eat them. They then distribute the contained Al in ways that get in the brain.

No. It was done with quiet racial apologies and manufactured guilt.
I did attend Professor Longhair's funeral though, and lawd that was a Party.

Yellow Fever was only for endemic regions and East and Central Africa were it. It has now been eradicated.

Growing up near Norfolk's many navy bases, there were always steam pipes going around like a hamster tubes, about 4 feet above the ground and up and over many intersections, all over the place and covered in thick layer of asbestos. It was efficient base heating. Once the scare took hold, they were gone.

When I think about it, back in '71, travel to Asia, unless you were wearing Uncle Sam's fatigues, was a novelty or rarity. 16 years after the war and all that. Japan was just starting to blossom. But it was Japan. The East. Asia. I had to have just about every vaccine known to mankind, and then some, to go there.
