The Straw Hat Riot of 1922 was a riot that occurred in New York City at the end of summer as a result of unwritten rules in men's fashions at the time, and a tradition of taunting people who had failed to stop wearing straw hats after autumn began. Originating as a series of minor riots, it spread due to youths choosing to harass men wearing straw hats past the unofficial date that was deemed socially acceptable, September 15. It lasted eight days, leading to many arrests and some injuries. The riot itself began on September 13, 1922, two days before the supposed unspoken date, when a group of youths decided to get an early jump on the tradition. This group began in the former "Mulberry Bend" area of Manhattan by removing and stomping hats worn by factory workers who were employed in the area. The more innocuous stomping turned into a brawl when the youths tried to stomp a group of dock workers' hats, and the dock workers fought back. Although the initial brawl was broken up by police, the fights continued to escalate the next evening. Gangs of teenagers prowled the streets wielding large sticks, sometimes with a nail driven through the top for hooking hats, looking for pedestrians wearing straw hats and beating those who resisted.Fair warning Horde - only a month left to wear your straw hats before Piper shows up to enforce fashion order by force.
MLB at Field of Dreams is a recurring Major League Baseball (MLB) regular-season specialty game played in a ballpark adjacent to Field of Dreams in Dyersville, Iowa, west of Dubuque, a site popularized by the 1989 baseball film Field of Dreams."The movie features a ghost of Shoeless Joe Jackson. Wikipedia:
Jackson is often remembered for his association with the Black Sox Scandal in which eight members of the 1919 Chicago White Sox participated in a conspiracy to fix the World Series."Fix" - as in lose on purpose to assure gambling winnings for bets against you. Shoeless Joe was banned from baseball forever even though it is widely believed he never actually tanked during any of the games - but he supposedly knew that the fix was in yet stayed silent about it. Anyway - the outfield walls at the park featured at least 2 logos for online gambling companies.

We continued east from Mesa Verde this week, made stops at Chimney Rock Nat'l Monument and Continental Divide at Wolf Creek Pass on our way into La Junta Co. for an overnight at La Junta Camp and Cabins. Highly recommended for the train theme and overall excellent organization of the park. Say hi to Brad the owner if you stop by.
Spent two very hot days in Dodge City, Ks. at Gunsmoke RV park. Highly recommend Prime Nine restaurant for steaks. Ask for Uvia the server. Took a trolley tour and tried to see the wagon ruts west of the city. Had some weather stripping peel off camper. Excellent repair by Nate at BS Trailer service in Dodge. Be sure to give Bel the shop dog a scritch if you stop by.
Continued east stayed overnight in Blue Springs CG in Lee's Summit, Mo. very impressed with change in scenery from Dodge to Lees Summit. Went from arid high plains to green forested rolling hills in about 300 mi. Now visiting Tom and Huck on the Mighty Miss-sip. Steamboat dinner cruise this evening, then moving on to another location in Mo. tomorrow....this is the furthest east we'll go.
The adventure continues....

1) Strongly-affiliated male Democrats have testosterone levels significantly lower than weakly-affiliated Democrats.
2) When weakly-affiliated Democrats are given extra testosterone, they become even more weakly-affiliated, and have significantly warmer feelings toward Republican candidates.

The Zoot Suit Riots occurred during WWII.
Zoot suits were extremely baggy, and used very large amounts of fabric.
Fabric was rationed due to the war effort. Most clothing manufacturers stopped making zoot suits, as they were deemed unpatriotic.
However, Latinos, blacks, and Filipinos in LA started buying them from black market tailors and continued to wear them, at just the time when Los Angeles was filling up with white soldiers, sailors, and Marines.
Guess what happened.

Agree. Hell to me would be Dr. Pepper with licorise. Or mixing Jagerblaster (sic) with it. Would work like Ipecac in a pinch. Nasty stuff.
I knew people who took shots of it to get their buzz on quickly and, no offense to Morons and 'ettes who like it, but these two broads were trash heaps. On the far edge of middle age and trying hard to be cool.
I sadly once was at a stupid work party when this was going on. Pathetic. One woman thought she was Lorelai Gilmore (I am serious in my anthropology study). Her husband left her for another woman (the only guy she dated). Two teen daughters and they all seemed goofy and boy crazy with their tatas hanging out. She ended up marrying her husband's brother! I always wanted to spy on her in-laws holiday dinners and have to assume her daughters introduce him as Uncle Daddy. They were not from the South before anyone wonders. Midwest.
I was once very cool and am a good judge and we never had this stuff.
I no longer want a fast buzz but if I ever do it will be gin quickly.
I felt they might as well drink shots of Nyquil.

Add the cows from Texas, which is a larger cattle state. And you get more than one cut of meat from each cow. Around 120 or so servings, so just from Kansas and Texas around 18 million.
So just from TX and Kansas, about 1 beef serving for every 6 people.
Take out kids, vegans from the population, about one serving once. Takes 3 years to bring a calf to market as a cow.
Like we can balance the budget, once, for one year only, by confiscation the entire wealth of the country.

Got a load of laundry done, and hung out on the line. Took it in about an hour ago, seemed a touch damp. Dew, maybe? So I put it in the dryer for 15 minutes. Perfect!
And I dragged out my old walk-behind high-wheeler mower, got it started, and mowed the top shoulder of the south ditch out front. Looks good, and probably won't have to do it again this season.

I am sort of surprised that those "straw hat" riots did not result in some of the perps getting shot. It was before the Sullivan Law, IIRC, and many guys carried a little .32 pocket revolver to deter vicious dogs and footpads. A couple of rounds to the kneecaps would make a rioter see the light.

I knew accepting Bush acolytes into the Democratic Party was going to be a huge mistake and here we are
I remember when Longwell was screeching about Hasan as if he's in control of all three branches. She's such a fucking clown.
Third Way is why support for the DSA is growing. People want change and the DSA is the status quo.

Using open source reporting, we reconstructed the years long operation that ended with the assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the man who led Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
From recruiting and running assets inside Iran to the 2018 nuclear archive operation and the remotely operated weapon used in the final strike, this is the story from inside the operation.

There's a better term to use, but otherwise, understandable. There are LOTS of factions at play. The Establishment, Third Way (viewed as Establishment Adjacent, just tinkering around the edges), Progressives (better, but kind of sellouts because they don't openly support the commies/socialists and often sellout to the Establishment), and then the open commies/socialists.
Blacks, black women, queer people and murderous Muslims are like vassal states- they provide votes in exchange for preferential laws and policies (and welfare). The Left generally doesn't care about what those groups want, and those groups (especially Muslims) will only be friendly for as long as necessary.

I think I might have known that, but promptly forgot.
We talked a bit about Jupiter nearly being another sun but without enough mass or something to light up. I guess I don't know how stars get fired up, but it seems that if the pressures are that serious, it might be close?
Odd to consider. I assume if it did light up, we'd be toast.

IT would be more like a liquid. Hydrogen's critical point is very low. At the critical temperature, the distinction between gas (vapor) and liquid phases disappears. That is, the density of the gas phase and the liquid phase becomes equal at some temperature, and that's the critical point.
Now, increase the pressure of that supercritical hydrogen to insane levels. We're talking about 5 million atmospheres.
These conditions are just so beyond human experience that it's just insane.

Does anyone have the full story of Luigi Mangione's experience with UnitedHealthcare?
He says he'd been suffering for years and denied treatment. He finally decided to gun down the CEO when he (CEO) was scheduled for an investor meeting in NYC on December 4 -- but he (Mangione) didn't know exactly where the meeting was. So he emailed United, claimed he was an investor with $15 billion, and those good little gophers emailed him back within an hour with the exact location.

Apparently as a liquid, too. Ordinary liquid and solid hydrogen are like water ice, and molecular in nature, the molecule being H2. Metallic hydrogen would be monatomic, a fluid or crystal of protons, with free electrons roaming through it. If it exists, it ought to be a superconductor.

The thought of Jupiter becoming a star is a popular thought, 2001/2010 movie and all that, but it's nowhere near close enough. The next thing up on the mass scale beyond "gas giant" is a brown dwarf. This is sort of a failed star. The minimum mass there is about 13 Jupiter masses up to about 80. This is 0.012 to 0.08 solar masses.
At that minimum a brown dwarf gets hot enough to fuse deuterium. At around 65 J-masses, it can fuse lithium. But it can't fuse hydrogen until .08 solar masses.
Hydrogen fusion is the line at which a "star" is defined.

I just read the Wiki article on metallic hydrogen. It is the Holy Grail of high-pressure physics. Many teams are working on it, and some claim success, but has not been duly replicated. There is a theory that "metastable" metallic hydrogen might be possible to produce, which would remain in the metallic state at normal temperature and pressure.

Imagine if we magically turned Jupiter into a minimum mass red dwarf star, .08 solar masses. The luminosity would be only 0.3% of the sun. So that wouldn't be anything to worry about.
However, that much extra mass, would over the long term, destabilize the inner solar system. Earth's orbit would start getting more elliptical, and the result would be collisions and/or ejections.
Another problem with red dwarfs is flares. While they are very dim, they are subject to violent flare outbursts, which could throw some very nasty stuff our way.

On the 1000 - 100,000 year time scale, the inner solar system would be a mess, looking at some rough simulations of this (these are not JPL DE level simulations, just rough ones using Newtonian gravity).
Earth's perihelion would be a Venus distance, and aphelion would be at Mars distance. Huge eccentricity and wild climate swings.
The outer solar system would be even worse. The outer planets would be ejected, or perhaps sent inside the inner solar system, colliding with earth or the others.

Boyle's law doesn't apply, or least doesn't work exactly like you think under these exotic conditions. Again the behavior of matter at these extreme conditions is very different from our terrestrial intuition.
Guess what. The radius of a minimum mass red dwarf would be *less* than Jupiter, 85% Jupiter radii.
The radii of brown dwarfs ranges from about 0.65 to 1.15 Jupiter radii. They can be up to twice Jupiter when very young and hot, though.

YOu may wonder just how the hell they determined that "fuzzy core" business. The answer is basically precision gravimetry.

This is why I don't bother with professional sports. Athlete A is offered more money to sign up with City A, so he does. OMG! scream the citizens of City A. He loves us! He loves our city!! He is us!!! We are him!!!!
Then he gets a better offer from City B and moves there. OoooOOOo00oo! say the citizens of City A. I wonder who we'll get next? Ahh, Athlete X has indicated he is interested! Athlete X forever!! He is ours!!! We are him!!!!
Then these millionaires run around on a field. Why should I pick a team? It's just people who made a business decision.
