Our favorite Cajun restaurant had what they called a Creole platter. Blackened catfish and andouille sausage, slathered with étouffee and served on red beans and rice. Haven't had it in years. Wonder what would happen if I asked.

Russian SAMs were a big deal in the 1973 war in the Sinai. So more than 53 years, and probably the west had some under development earlier still.

16 Dogs are wonderful.

Reef update. Changed from Trazadone for anxiety to Fluoxitene(sp?)- which is essentially dog Prozac. He still has a couple weeks before it's supposed to be built up in his system, but so far, it seems like a big change for the better. This dog has always been as tightly wound as a spring, jumping at every noise, even inside. He seems to be actually relaxing and the frantic zoomies and jumping have subsided (he still gets zoomies but he does not frantically do 8 circuits of the apartment.)

He still is spiking a bit outside and 'beats the bushes' by jumping and growling (but no barking now) if he does not see anything. Still checking every direction at once, but a bit less frantically, I think.

So far, better living through chemistry has my endorsement. And he seems a lot more content and happy now.

I'm feeding my friends' cats for a bit. They gave me a ton of the cat food which is out on the porch with water. This changes pretty much nothing with Snowflake. Her Mom Starry is coming here more and hanging around.

They're both fixed and I took them in during the last cold winter. Ralphy likes to,chase Starry but he's also 105 in dog years...

26 I'm not sure if that's a missile. Other than the general term "missile" which could be used for a thrown rock or ballistic llama, a missile weapon is airborne. If you're airborne there are a lot quicker ways of maneuvering than those little jets. You'd use fins and stuff. When they have thrusters like that it is for space, kinetic kill vehicles, and the like.

Today is the 49th anniversary of the launch of Voyager 2. It's twin, Voyager 1 was launched a couple weeks later, on Sept. 5th.

Because of the trajectories chosen, Voyager 1 got to Jupiter and Saturn first, then took a slingshot "up" out of the ecliptic (this was to enable a pass by Titan to get the most information possible).

Voyager 2 get going in plane before taking its own slingshot "down" at Neptuen.

Voyager 1 will reach 1 light-day from Earth in Nov.

113 The recent surge in penguin propaganda is being driven by a new marketing campaign financed by Big Penguin. Billboards, radio spots, blog comments, and product placements in the media are designed to soften public opinion of the invaders from the Southern hemisphere.

As countries such as Chile, Argentina, and even France can attest, the invasion of the mephitic menace has resulted in a reduced quality of life for it's citizens and non-citizens alike. If we do not want to become like France, the threat must be addressed head on.

143 I missed the earlier bionic man discussion but I believe they talk about his heart and lungs barely being stressed when he was running at 60mph. He only had his trunk, head and one arm for it to pump oxygen for. His bionic parts running off an atomic battery.Definitely the flesh and bone interface would have limited what he could do in real life. He really needed an entire mechanical body. In the book they could not replicate an eye ( well the optic nerve)so he had a fake that could contain a camera for spy work but mimicked natural eye movement.

We’ll get some extra radiation as the Earth’s magnetic field shifts to higher multipole dominant forms for a while. That might affect cloud formation by the Svensmark hypothesis: maybe affecting climate? What other aftereffects would there be due to a magnetic pole shift?

Besides the regular geomagnetic reversals, there are some interesting "excursion" events. Here, the Erf's field strength weakens and the poles jump all around. There is some evidence of "attempts" at reversals, but it doesn't make it and goes back to the previous state.

The last big one is called the Laschamp Event, about 42 kya. Field strength bottomed out at just 5% of current levels and it did make a brief reversal. They still debate on how bad that really was in terms of extinctions. It did let a lot more cosmic rays and sun stuff get through.

The Sun's magnetic field flips every 11 years with the solar cycle, and this is well documented. You can find models of it, and you'll see how the main dipole component just dies out, you're left with a quadrupole that flickers all around, and then the dipole comes back, pointing in the opposite direction.

Erf does the same thing, but on much longer time scales, and the "dynamos" that drive that are very different processes.

Just how the Sun's dynamo works is still very poorly understood. There are models of both that can produce the observed behavior, but it's a complicated mess.

I find that what they really are trying to do is remove the associations people get with these words over time. Like a soft reset.

So like, no one truly likes a homeless person (except Christians but leave that aside) because they smell etc. So we have to change the name from homeless to indigent. But then people stop liking the word indigent because indigent people smell etc. So then it becomes unhoused. But then people stop liking the word "unhoused" because unhoused people smell etc. Know what I mean?

The Maunder Minimum lasted about 50-60 years or so from 1645 - 1715 and was a flatline of sunspot activity. Solar output also flatlined.

The "solar constant" is about 1300 W/m^2 at 1 AU. But that varies every so slightly over the 11 yr sunspot cycle by maybe 0.1%. Just a tiny little bit.

But that flatlined as well. The little wave there bouncing around 1300 just flatlined.

Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at August 20, 2026 08:27 PM (O0L8i)

If you look at the general zeitgeist, much of which is amplified or steered by our media rather than being a true "collective unconscious" (this is probably conscious) you will see what looks like potentially a deliberate attempt to bury women this year in the wake of Trump's searing heavily masculine victory 18 months ago. See:

1. The universal panning of Supergirl which couldn't possibly have been *so* much worse than all the diaboloically SHITTY girl power movies they've previously been hyping.

2. The WNBA and all its crazy "drama"

3. Francesca Hong failing by getting her election stolen

4. This Lindsay Clancy thing

And probably much more. What you are seeing is a rather sudden "fatiguing" of society against women. And IMO it is deliberate - at a time when muslims are coincidentally being elevated. And perhaps at a time when they are likely setting Democrats up to DESIRE an already chosen male (very likely white) savior for 2028.

Remember when Compton, California was the epicenter of black gangsta rap?

Not any more. The Latinos have pretty much ethnically cleansed the blacks out of there. I guess the gangstas weren't quite as badass as they pretended to be.

In 1950, Compton was 91% white. By 1980 it was 70% black. Today it's 70% Latino.

So, yeah, the black-brown kumbaya coalition imagined by pasty-white leftists does not exist. Nor will it ever.

As Mayor Quimby said, it can be two things. The cultural marxism is social control sure, but it is definitely more. I can't be very persuasive in my attempts at division by constantly elevating something that people natively bristle at.

Change the word, change the feeling when you make your next point regarding that word.

"Transsexuals" sound icky, asking people to get too sympathetic about them is hard fucking work. Change the word, change people's minds. So it becomes "Transgender". Novel. No associations. Easier to persuade people they don't mean any harm.

Clowns are scary because of the Uncanny Valley effect. As things look more and more human, we like them more and more. Until a point where they're just a tiny bit off from "human." Then they're disgusting and terrifying. Clowns, zombies, etc.

Probably some leftover programming from the caveman years, to keep us away from lepers, and rabid people, and telemarketers.

So, clowns and zombies are spooky because they're almost, but not quite, human. Wrong colors, wrong facial expressions, wrong reactions to stimuli, exaggerated movements, etc. And we know they were a normal human to start with.

But if they were democrats or commies to start with, that's less scary, because now they weren't human to begin with. They're just ordinary monsters either way. Think of Anthony Fauci in a clown suit. No scarier than a lab coat, right?

253 Clowns are scary because of the Uncanny Valley effect. As things look more and more human, we like them more and more. Until a point where they're just a tiny bit off from "human." Then they're disgusting and terrifying. Clowns, zombies, etc.

254 West Coast morons probably remember Cal Worthington and his cheesy commercials.

Flew 29 Flying Fortress missions over Germany in WWII. Air Medal, Distinguished Flying Cross.

Never mentioned it. Never played on it to promote his business.

They don't hardly make 'em like that any more.

Another wild hypothesis. You know all those crazy petroglyphs and other "cave drawings" and stuff with all these crazy looking figures? You think the ancient humans were tripping on something.

Well, those figures are remarkably similar to some high intensity plasma discharge effects.

The theory is those ancient Homos were depicting crazy wild shit they saw in the sky during some high intensity auroral or other plasma events.

There is a tongue-in-cheek "discipline" calle heliochromatology, which is about what color the sun is.

They like to say it's "really green".

I remember Cal. He grew up in Oklahoma if I recall correctly. Dirt poor so never went to college. Post war he tried to get into commercial aviation but there was a glut of pilots, obviously. So the airlines made college diploma a prerequisite if you wanted to het hire.

I think Cal was more successful but it took a while

The story I heard was that he was so broke and desperate that he had to sell his car.

Sold it for considerably more than he'd paid for it.

And the rest was history.
