Overnight Open Thread (1-5-2014)
In short, he puts it, "the West has maintained the dominant narrative of 'Russia in Crimea' whereas the true narrative is 'USA in Ukraine.'" That's despite the fact that Russia is, you know, in Crimea, and a good chunk of the rest of Ukraine besides, while, sure, the U.S. is currently sending dehydrated burritos to a legitimately elected government.
-- Patrick Bennan in Oliver Stone's Gonna Oliver Stone
This presumption of guilt is absolutely crucial to collectivism. The Left must teach its subjects to think of themselves as criminals. That's the only way law-abiding people will endure levels of coercive power that would normally require specific accusations, a fair trial, and the possibility of appeals. Social-justice "crimes" can be prosecuted without any of those things. There is no appeal from the sentence, and no statute of limitations on the crimes, as any left-winger who thinks today's American citizens need to suffer for the historical offense of slavery will be happy to explain to you. There's no evidence you can present in your defense, for the Left has read your mind, and knows better than you what demons lurk in its recesses.This is one reason the Left dislikes the trappings of constitutional law and order. The presumption of innocence is highly inconvenient for social crusades; it's the antithesis of collective political "justice."

Mexico Deported More People in 2014 Than the US Did
Mexico's Pistol-Packing Priest
"Four of my friends have been killed, and three of my trucks have been stolen," he said, explaining that his ministry to drug addicts and the sick takes him through the back roads of central Mexico, where it is wise, he said, to be armed. The youngest of 10 children in a wealthy family with a long history of military service and fine marksmanship, Gallegos boasts 'I can shoot five Pepsi cans from a wall in a few seconds, from 25 meters. I can't do it anymore, though. The bishop says it's bad for the image of the church. But what am I supposed to do? I can't help it people come to look me up, in stead of the bishop.'
And the 2014 Blue Falcon Stolen Valor Award Goes to...
Frank Joseph Visconi of Tennessee whose obsessive persistence led him to spend eight years trying to get awards inserted into his service records until 6th Circuit Court of Appeals finally declared them false and dismissed his suit.
Visconi was actually an honorably-discharged Marine Vietnam Vet. He was a supply clerk (which we're sure you'll agree, is a much underappreciated field of endeavor). Visconi, in later years, began claiming combat awards including the Purple Heart, about which his story has changed. He attempted to get the awards inserted in his military records but failed, and failed spectacularly: on appeal, he actually brought the case to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, which shot him down, noting that the Bronze Star and Purple Heart citations he provided were determined by the appropriate authorities to be, quote, "not authentic."
The NY Times smears Louisiana conservatives by saying they're all David Duke
Because Louisianans only discovered their love of lower taxes when David Duke proposed lowering them. 
The second flaw is that, if you actually read beyond the lede, the article provides no evidence whatsoever that Louisiana embraced the uglier parts of Duke's 1991 platform. Instead, the article offers a single apples to oranges comparison, and then pretends that they're both the same fruit. A mild fisking is now in order:'Mr. Duke supported forcing welfare recipients to take birth control. Now there are near-perennial attempts by members of the Louisiana Legislature to give welfare recipients drug tests.'
Do you see any correlation whatsoever between forcing welfare recipients to take birth control (which could be construed as a eugenics thing because a disproportionate number of blacks are on welfare), versus mandating drug tests to ensure that Louisiana voters aren't subsidizing voluntary behavior that leads to an inability to work? I don't.
Why does global warming make people say such dumb things.

The Democratic Party's Long Embrace of Al Sharpton
And Insty's thoughts on 'Shakedown' Sharpton:
IT WOULD BE CHEAPER TO HAVE HIM KILLED, AND IN MOST COUNTRIES THAT'S WHAT WOULD HAPPEN: How Sharpton gets paid to not cry 'racism' at corporations.
So I guess his loathsome existence is, in a way, proof of just how civilized we are.

But Catholics are not obligated to agree with the Pope on everything, only articles of faith. I just dislike it because he's a powerful voice and he's using his pulpit largely to reinforce conventional leftist thinking, instead of bucking the tide the way Benedict did.
But that's to be expected from a Jesuit
They used to be a conservative order until the 60's and Vatican II. The reason Catholic universities like Georgetown and Marquette no longer seem very Catholic is because they are Jesuit institutions.Posted by: Donna &&&&&& V. (brandishing ampersands) at January 05, 2015 09:29 PM (+XMAD)

Why won't Malor just come out and call critics of Boehner, mentally ill, and argue the point?
It sounds like Malor is making insinuations to scoring rhetorical points. But people who make insinuations to score rhetorical points are generally considered to be slimy propagandists - on the left, on the right, on any direction. Sometimes they're considered trolls. Especially when, like Mumr, they do it over and over again.
So where is Malor claiming the high ground to assert - well, anything?
I'll just pound another sudafed and think this over.

Her desire to pick supposed "news stories" with a Left-wing tilt to them occasionally aggravated me a little sometimes. The way Adam announced her departure today was pretty lame, though. After four years and you imply that it was a "trial" period?!? Four years?!? She also took her solo podcast with her from the Carolla Network. That makes it look like it might have been an acrimonious split (e.g., over money?).

Actually I thought she kept her liberalism in check considering that she had to sit through a lot of rants that contradicted her liberalism. I don't know why I got this feeling but think it may have been something to do with the razing she got from revealing her sex dream and that caused some kind of off air conflict.
Posted by: Bob Belcher at January 05, 2015 09:57 PM (3jmxp)
You're right. Her liberalism wasn't always out front and she didn't challenge Carolla too much but when they talked about certain political topics, she would be more vocal and aggravate me. Bald Bryan does sometimes, too. Nonetheless, she's definitely been a lot more quiet on the show the past few weeks or months, as she hasn't added a lot. This mostly started after her dog died and she struggled with her fertility issues.
As for your theory about her departure, that's not a bad one. I always wondered if some of the stuff discussed on the air caused problems between Alison and her husband (e.g., sex dream with David Alan Grier). But Adam saying that her departure was due to lack of chemistry, after four years, doesn't seem to be honest to me.

I'm afraid of the media and rich evil Marxists like Soros. These characters in skinny jeans and stupid Guy Fawkes masks - not so much.
If the Revolution is relying on Special Snowflakes like the thing that calls itself an aromatic demisexual, well, these people can make nuisances of themselves at brunches and can bully and harass people online. But that's because our society allows them to. If a tipping point is ever reached and we get to the point of actual violence (with people fighting back instead allowing the violence like they did in Ferguson) - well, the Occupiers with their majors in Gender Studies and their silly Guy Fawkes masks won't last 5 minutes.

It will be a Dragon resupply mission to the ISS, so there is a 1 second launch window. If they run into any problems that cause a hold, it will force a scrub for the day.
While the Dragon mission is the primary objective, what makes this launch especially interesting is that once the first stage separates, they will attempt to land it on a floating platform. In almost 60 years of orbital flights, this has never been done before.
They have previously made controlled soft landings on the ocean surface, but those stages sank and were not recovered. This will be the first try to actually recover a stage. Eventually they plan to fly the stages back to the launch site and bring them down on dry land, but they have to show that they are capable of making pinpoint landings first.

Yes, I have ties there. The only problem with this cycle is this:
Many govts, which control most of the world market, can't slow their production and stay afloat. They have accelerated the downswing and will flatten the upswing. The hard part is telling how fast the rebound will happen this time. I'm hopeful for a bottom within about 4 months, but how long before the rebound?
I don't think Texas will be in trouble for more than 18-24 months. That's a snapshot take, subject to change at any moment.
There have been quite a few of these cycles and their history is good reading for those interested in the opportunities presented.

No, no, it started long before that. The tumor was palpable by the 1990s, but the first transformed cells arrived ca. 1970.

Not at all. Is it baffling that Utah elects conservatives? California was conservative until the 70s. Recall Reagan was elected governor in 1966, and re-elected in 1970, which is about the point at which the rot really began to set in. Before then CA was as conservative as UT or AZ.

Complicated question.
One could argue it was due to the Great Depression which saw an influx of Democrats. California was majority/plurality GOP before that.
However, the GOP held on to power up to 1958 (The GOP held the Governorship for 56 of 60 years at that point, the state Senate for about 60 years, and generally either held power in the Assembly or shared it with pro-business Democrats).
In 1958, the Dems gained power in the legislature (and since then lost the Senate only once and Assembly only twice).
However, the state was still pretty reliable for Republicans in Presidential elections and also the U.S. Senate (GOP held at least one Senate seat from 1958 to 1968, 1976-1992, and both from 1960-196
.
But the biggest blow was the early '90's. All the illegal aliens from amnesty started the huge growth in the Hispanic population, the recession destroyed a lot of businesses, the end of the cold War killed off all the defense contractors (which turned the L.A. suburbs from Republican to Democrat), &c.
It has only accelerated since then.
In 1988, California was a given for GOP Prez. nominee Bush and Sen. Pete Wilson's reelection. In 1992, the GOP lost both Senate races and the Presidential race as well.
Prop. 209 in 1996 was the last hurrah for the right in California. Only two statewide GOPers won reelection in '98 (one of whom resigned soon after), and none in 2002. Aside from Schwartzenegger (who won because he was a celebrity), the only GOPer to win was a rich dude who won the Insurance Commissioners race in 2006 against the incumbant but termed out Lt. Gov. Bustamante who was highly unpopular.

Actually, that's true even now. If you look at an electoral map, most of the state is red, i.e., anti-Red. Only SF and LA show up as Red tumors, and now SD, traditionally very conservative, is starting to go Red as Commies and fruits flee the hellholes they've produced in SF and LA.

I would imagine that the presence of Hollywood in the state doesn't help. It's LA's big industry and although there were always some radicals in the mix, they were counterbalanced by conservatives and by studio moguls who made films which celebrated America. That all changed when the studio system was overthrown and Hollywood fully embraced the counterculture.
I suppose you could think of it as two blots - one in Berkeley and SF, the other in Hollywood, expanding and gradually taking the state over.

The way Republicans won statewide was via the "fishhook". They'd get all the inland counties, and then "fishhook" up through San Diego and Orange County, finishing up with the L.A. Suburbs.
For the longest time, outside of L.A. County, there was only one Dem Congressman in all of Southern California (the Dem was Brown in San Bernardino).
To a large degree, the state is controlled by San Fransisco, and supported by L.A.'s electoral strength.
This is why I supported the "Six Californias" initiative. It would have created three new states with GOP registration plurality, and protected most of California from San Fransisco.

It is, and it breaks my heart. At one point California was described as the "science state," because it had so many scientists and engineers. Now it's the "welfare state," because we're stuck with 30% of the welfare recipients in the nation. We're also now 49/50 in educational results (thanks, teachers' unions and Mexicans!).
It's a damning indictment of leftist politics. If you can fuck up California, with all it had going for it, you can fuck up anywhere.
I try to convey to my kids how amazingly far things have degenerated in my lifetime by telling them, "Suppose 30 years from now there are telethons to raise money for Bill Gates, who was destitute. You'd be thinking, 'How the fuck did THAT happen?' That's exactly how I feel about California and its problems today."

Two NYPD officers have been shot in the Bronx, emergency response officials say.
It's not clear what led to the shooting on East 184th Street in the Fordham section shortly after 10:30 p.m.
Police Were Disrespectful to Turn Backs at NYPD Funerals: Mayor
The officers were taken to St. Barnabas Hospital and are expected to be OK, the officials said.
The shootings happened just hours after the mayor and the police commissioner held a joint news conference to tout record low crime levels, with overall crime down 4 percent from last year. But shootings were up 13 percent, which NYPD officials admitted were "an area of concern."

Hello my precious poppets.

Heh.
At one company I worked at, HR wanted me to run through a full week of management compliance training, but the rabidly right-wing Director I reported to said "fuck that". Literally.
He pissed them off something fierce because he needed me working my actual fucking job. And considering that every one of the HR jackasses were "xxxx Studies" majors, we had a good laugh over it.

Two police officers were shot by an armed robber who fled the scene and is at large in the Bronx Monday night, sources said.
The officers from the 46th precinct pulled over a car in the in the Tremont section of The Bronx at around 10:30 p.m. but the suspect sped away and crashed, according to law enforcement sources.
The gunman then got out of the car and opened fire on the officers. One cop was struck one in the arm and another in the back.
The suspect then fled on foot sparking a huge police manhunt.
Both officers were both taken to St. Barnabas Hospital and are expected to survive.

It's bullshit, for several reasons.
First, the spending cuts are minimal. (E.g., Brown made a BFD out of cutting $20 million for cell phones; the annual state budget is $100 billion.)Second, Brown also shifted a lot of expenses (such as housing
Third, and most importantly, the state is estimated to be ca. $500 billion in hock on pension benefits. Balancing the budget means ... we're not adding any more debt; we still need to figure out how to pay the debt we have. Brown changed the slope, but the intercept is the same.

I don't think so, frankly. California has so much going for it that I don't think it'll ever be like Detroit. An acquaintance once asserted that, because as he said it's got the sunshine and the beach. "Oh, so like Baja, then?" I replied. End of discussion.
I think the worst case scenario is in broad strokes it will resemble Baja California. It'll have predominantly Mexican peasants, but with gated or otherwise exclusive liberal enclaves in some areas (Hi, Barbra!), and feral blacks running wild in others.

Oh, absolutely, although Orange County is not nearly as heavily conservative as it used to be. For example, UC Irvine now has a serious infestation of Muslims. But there are conservative Alamos to be found along the coast, to be sure. The inland parts of the state are pretty staunchly conservative. I gather that Washington and Oregon have similar patterns: the cities are Red-infested, but the rest of the state is pro-American.

Actually, it makes sense for blacks to be commies. If I were hanging out with Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, I'd suggest the three of us go all-in on an investment, and split the profits equally, because I'd ... uh ... be a little light. Black commies figure they'll be rounded up, so supporting Communism is rational for them.
The part I can't figure is why The Tribe produces so many commies (e.g., Soros, Steyer, the Pritzkers, Burkle, etc.). They'll be rounded down, and surely have the cognitive gifts to realize that. Do they not care, or do they figure that they'll slip the punch if the commies ever seize power?

Even then, it was evident that the libtard invasion was well underway. Still, I don't think anyone really understood how pervasive the virus would be, and how deeply set the rot it produced.
I've visited plenty since then, and though I still yearn to live on a 50' ketch in a nice marina on Shelter Island..... I never will, because the place has been entirely screwed up for now for a good thirty years.
San Diego's ruination was the loss of the Naval Training Center near downtown. Then the city got their grubby hands on all that prime real-estate, and ...... squandered it.
Moreover, even though the property is still there, the loss of Miramar as a Naval Air Station still bites....the Marines make good use of it, but it's just not Fightertown, any more. Blame that on all the suburbanites who crowded up against a known noisemaker, and then bitched about that same noise and safety matters.
Same thing happened to El Toro, up the coast a bit. And the loss of Mare Island Naval Shipyard is a case of strategic treason in every sense of the word. Don't even get me started about giving Long Beach to the Chicoms. I'd have a firing squad on standby for the perpetrators of that one.
The list goes on and on and on.
Point is, never trust "Liberals". They have no Liberty in them, only a Dark Statist cancer where a soul would normally live.

I might not be able to get there to help, but I can damn sure help steer you the right way, if you'll send me photos and such.
Plus, I can generate an exact diagram of your roof, from here, via satellite image. It's called an Eagle View, and will give the exact square footage, pitch, linear feet of ridge, perimeter, valleys and flats. Only thing it won't do, is size and count up your various roof accessories, such as plumbing vents, ridge vents or turbines, etc.
Plus, I can connect you to a superior contractor in your area. And if you want to do it yourself, I can point you out to the best materials out on the market.
As always, my addy is in my nic. Feel free to shoot me a mail, when you feel up to it.

In Nevada, brothels are illegal in the two urban counties of Washoe (Reno) and Clark (Vegas).
For the rest of the counties, it is up to them. Of the remaining counties, three outlaw brothels (Carson City and Douglas, on Lake Tahoe, and Lincoln, which is due north of Vegas).
The minimum age for brothel workers is set by the county, and is 21 in all but one (Mineral), which sets it at 18.

Up and running, more or less. I didn't go for a complete disassembly (zero dials on the axes, spindle, and power train were left alone), but everything else received a stern talking to.
I think I've figured out about how much resistance to leave in the ways. The handles turn, perhaps a bit stiffly, and the head moves easily enough. Still tweaking bolts and set screws here and there.
There is a little more backlash than I'd like in the x-axis wheel, but it is manageable.
The column is now trammed to within about .002", I think, although I am still getting used to using my dial indicator out on the end of an arm. The front of the table seems to be reading about .008" lower than the back, but I am not really that confident in the measurement as yet, so I am not too worried.
Collets and the bulk of the tooling will arrive tomorrow. This may help with my measurement issues, as the provided chuck appears to have significant runout.
Then the fun begins. 8-)

They cost too much for a one-time use, but in the industry, we use Cougar-Paw roofing boots. The sole is pretty much 1/4" of wetsuit neoprene, and grips the aggregate of an asphalt shingle better than any other shoe. The soles tear off with Velcro, and replacement soles run about $16-$18. The boots themselves will set you back about $130-$140.
So, you don't wanna buy Cougar-Paws? Next best thing is a crepe soled shoe, with a very flat sole. Maximum contact area, soft enough to set down over the aggregate and "grip", more or less.
Fancy tennis shoes with highly sculpted soles, have almost no contact area. The parts that touch the roof might be grippy enough. But sooner or later, you're gonna fall down n' go boom.
Boat shoes with gummy soles work great as far as grip. But, watch the twisty ankles on those, especially on steeper roofs. You'll likely just step right outta your shoe, then.
Any roof greater than a 5/12 pitch is nothing to take lightly. 6/12 is marginal. 7/12, time to call the pros.
Don't know the pitch of your roof? Download "Pitch Gauge" for your smart fone (apple or android).... it's freeware. Rock with it.

"How'd you do at rebuilding the mill?"
Up and running, more or less. I didn't go for a complete
disassembly (zero dials on the axes, spindle, and power train were left
alone), but everything else received a stern talking to.
I think I've figured out about how much resistance to leave in the
ways. The handles turn, perhaps a bit stiffly, and the head moves
easily enough. Still tweaking bolts and set screws here and there.
There is a little more backlash than I'd like in the x-axis wheel, but it is manageable.
The column is now trammed to within about .002", I think, although I
am still getting used to using my dial indicator out on the end of an
arm. The front of the table seems to be reading about .008" lower than
the back, but I am not really that confident in the measurement as yet,
so I am not too worried.
Collets and the bulk of the tooling will arrive tomorrow. This may
help with my measurement issues, as the provided chuck appears to have
significant runout.
Then the fun begins. 8-)
Posted by: Piercello at January 06, 2015 12:52 AM (JybVy)
I still haven't trammed the table, and don't expect to do a lot in that regard until I build a brace to keep the thing from flopping side-to-side. I've used the 1/2" mill and collet more than anything else, on substances from brass to purpleheart. I need to tune the freakin' gibs like nobody's business, 'cause I can shove the table and watch it wiggle. The supplied chuck is Teh Suckage.
But I'm going at this from a different direction than you probably are....I'm looking to gain overall familiarity with tools, methods, and materials -- and gradually work my way into precision. Part of this is a desire to work with exotic materials in novel ways....

No, more like damn dog wanting to go look at the cat on the fence. Slightly sloped portion of the parking lot where there is some natural drainage.

Two sites for y'all to get to know. Both are friends of mine, and they're both stand up guys. Tell 'em I sent ya.
First is Og, the Neanderpundit.
http://neanderpundit.com/
You know those assembly line robots that look so cool doing their thing? He was in at the beginning of those, and is responsible for more of the programming than you might imagine. Including some current Smith & Wesson slides.
Next, is Steve, at Tools of Renewal.
http://toolsofrenewal.com/
You're gonna get a lot of The Gospel there, without apology. But, scroll back in the archives, and you're also going to meet a brother in tools there with you, who has earned through sweat and diligence, a lot of knowledge as a rookie machinist. You'd be WISE to e mail him, and correspond. He has connections to some of the best machine tool (and accessory) sources out there, as well as knowledge of some great machinists forums.
Me, I'd be happy with barely enough UniMat mini-mill, to finish out some 80% AR lowers. Maybe dovetail in some pistol-sights.
On that, I know my limitations.

I am taking a very similar approach, I am just starting (probably) from a higher precision baseline. 8-)
A lot of the fun here is in getting a "feel" for what a thousandth of an inch looks and feels like. It's actually bigger than I thought it would be.
I don't yet know whether I will brace my column (insert Beavis here), but I did find that I was able to reduce some of the "bounce" in the head by tightening the three large allen screws that mate the column-supporting casting onto the larger base casting. But for all I know, some of that bounce is coming from slop in the fit of the z-axis gib.
Lots of entertaining parameters to chase on this beast. Heh.
I'll be playing mostly with aluminum, although I may try some harder things too, and there will probably be a fair bit of precision wood work done as well.
Maybe I'll test it on some of my purpleheart stock as well...

Didn't really like that arrangement, though it didn't move at all through a couple of the strongest winds we've had in four or five years.
If the wife wants rooftop decorations next year think I'm gonna cut some mounting lugs out of 2.5 x 2.5 x .25 angle and lagscrew them down to the trusses (hope I can find them...) and make a platform to mount the inflatable stuff on to bolt to the lugs.

I've been reading Steve for almost as long as I've been reading Ace (about a decade now, I guess), and I have a feeling I've encountered Og somewhere on the intertubes before, albeit without having known about that part of his background. Then again, I myself am new to the game.

They come in standard caulking tubes, so nothing exotic. But, that's the only thing that the asphalt in your shingles won't burn through. Silicone? It'll last three weeks, then it's done.
Frankly, I'd advise against any needless roof penetrations. And Christmas décor is exactly that. Needless. It's a want. It's a "would be nice". It is not a NEED.
The thousands of dollars of interior damage that can occur from one roof leak.....need I say more?
Oh, and one thing I forgot. If you're going to do that angle iron, you're gonna have to kneel on the roof to get it done.
Get an old upholstered cushion. Get rid of the upholstery, and get the foam therein. Kneel or sit on the foam. You won't move an inch, you won't slide off.
I'll send you my invoice for that pro-tip. It's worth a good chunk of your insurance deductible.

I'm a big fan of the old dictum: "Stupid people don't learn; regular people learn from their mistakes; smart people learn from the mistakes of others." So when people talk about machining, I listen. But I'm really working at cross-purposes in a lot of ways.
Just as a for-instance.....I've decided that I need to rig a fence on my micro-mill. The idea being that I could gain some measure of repeatability on a CNC'd widget that insists on starting at X0, Y0, Z0. I can then blue a section of the fence and scribe a cross, mount a new tool and center it on that cross, send it up a ways on Z, put in the workpiece against the fence, toss a 1-2-3 block with a post-it hanging off its top on top of the workpiece, then jog Z lower until the post-it wiggles. I now have an X, Y, Z that is a known offset from the surface and edge of the workpiece.
Why is this a big deal? 'Cause I do a bunch of carving on wood that has been sanded smooth, and doesn't have precise dimensions.

If you hook your support over the ridge of the roof, you should be able to get plenty of stability without penetrating your roofing.

And now, for your late night viewing pleasure, a selection of X-2 Mill videos:
3/8" steel, 3/8" end mill, 0.03" per pass, 12"/min, 16 minutes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY_wGvhM8A4
Machining front cocking serrations on a Ruger P95

X2 cutting steel 35mm cutter 0.65mm deep
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dp4k-VEuMOg
Note that the mills seem to be modified a bit.
FWIW, I think the X2 is a neat mill, but it needs a bit of modification to be really useful. A 1/4" endmill, probably the largest size that should be used with the 350W motor on the X2, should run about 4500 RPM when milling aluminum, so one of the belt drive kits is a good choice.

One second is an eternity on a roof, when you're sliding.
I'm just glad that OH SHIT THAT HURTS! is the worst that you suffered.
Was wearing Cougar Paws on a 20 yr old shingled roof.....and surfed all the way to the gutter before they grabbed.
Puckered up so tight, it was week before I could hammer in a Fleet Enema, just to loosen up.
I would have been bulletproof on Folsom St. in San Fran, that's for damned sure.

He surfed that bad boy from nearly the top of the roof down to the edge and over, dropped about 8 feet, and landed on top of a short decorative wall with his feet on either side, which broke the plywood in half. Without missing a beat, the foreman stepped back over the wall, walked over to the ladder, went up it, and started screaming at the hip-trimmer.....which is about when I resumed breathing. I've seen some pretty amazing stuff at Cirque du Soleil, but sliding off a roof and cushioning your fall by straddling a wall on plywood......that was really something.

Hang tough man. Nurses screwed up Gingy's pain meds with Big and she got through it straight, which led her to believe she could do the same with Little. Little was (in her words) SOOO much worse than big, but she had opted out of pain management. She did that shit COLD (Any wonder why I admire her so much?), and right when Little (9lb12oz) crowned, she grabbed my lower lip(I might be exaggerating this part a little) and screamed at me "HE'S GOT YOUR BIG!

Late night, I can't sleep baby updates.
Minor setback. Wife's epidural gave our for some reason no one could
figure out (night staff nets you nurse anesthetists not docs.)
So after a period of her in tears they redid the epidural, bit to do so we also had to restart the induction.
And with water broken we're up against a clock that expires soon. Well see if this goes normal or C-section route soon I think.

Hang
tough man. Nurses screwed up Gingy's pain meds with Big and she got
through it straight, which led her to believe she could do the same with
Little. Little was (in her words) SOOO much worse than big, but she had
opted out of pain management. She did that shit COLD (Any wonder why I
admire her so much?), and right when Little (9lb12oz) crowned, she
grabbed my lower lip(I might be exaggerating this part a little) and
screamed at me "HE'S GOT YOUR BIG! FAT! MELON! HEAD!!!" And then she
shit all over the delivery room.
Life man, it's a miracle.

From what I can see, the utterance of "you did this to me", or equivalent, is part of of what makes one a birth-parent.

During the first snow fall of the the year some college students at Princeton used to take off their clothes and streak and play in the flakes. The Admin shut that down because the young people were getting hypothermia.

A wise person once said: I'm not suggesting that we kill all the stupid people. Let's just remove all the warning labels, and let nature run its course.
However, to be fair, I almost lost a shipmate right in front of an entire Command during a ships party.
Dunking booth, late fall, shorty wet suit, etc.

But what (Pope Francis) is not is a scientist. So he really ought to refrain from lecturing others on scientific matters.
Oh, come on. Popes lecturing on science has been a thing for hundreds of years!
