Ye Old Obernite Open Thred (1-28-2015)
Helsinki Great, NYC Good, Lisbon Bad: The "Honesty Arc"
So researchers did a test of honesty in major cities around the world based on lost wallets.
Sixteen world cities, times twelve wallets. Each wallet containing the equivalent of $50 in local currency, some business cards and family photos, and a mobile phone number. How many wallets are returned?
...First, the good news: none of the cities surveyed brought shame on itself by returning none of the wallets. The bad news: globally, your chances or getting your wallet back are less than half. Of the grand total of 192 wallets sprinkled across malls, parks and sidewalks in those 16 cities, only 90 were returned - not more than 47%.
The most honest city was Helsinki, Finland where 11 out of 12 wallets were returned. And New York City outperformed every city in Europe other than Helsinki and Budapest with 8 out 12 wallets returned. Of all the cities in the test the worst were Lisbon and Madrid with a 90%+ loss rate. So don't lose any personal belongings or children in those cities.
MSM Attempting to Ban the N* G* Z*** Word
Not only do they not exist according to the MSM but by the newly issued PC rules you can no longer even talk about them in public.
But in the following days, the counter-attack against those calling attention to the growth of Islamist extremism in Europe has now gotten to the point where it is no longer possible for anyone to mention the existence of a "no go zone" for non-Muslims anywhere in Europe. But those who are trying to portray the entire topic as a conservative or anti-Muslim meme that must be stamped out are forgetting some important information. It wasn't Fox News or any conservative outlet that helped popularized the idea of such zones; it was the impeccably liberal New York Times.The backlash against mention of no-go zones has gotten to the point where CNN anchor Anderson Cooper actually apologized for letting several guests mention them on his program. Though had he interviewed Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo who speciously threatened to sue Fox News for mentioning no go zones in the region of the French capital and had heaped scorn on Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal for doing the same, Anderson also did a mea culpa for letting some guests say the dreaded words.
In the wave of the Paris attacks, several guests on this program mentioned 'no-go zones' in France. I didn't challenge them and twice referred to them as well. I should have been more skeptical, I won't make the same mistake again.

Alphabets and the Written Word: All Tools of the Patriarchy Used to Oppress Women
Of all the sacred cows allowed to roam unimpeded in our culture, few are as revered as literacy. Its benefits have been so incontestable that in the five millennia since the advent of the written word numerous poets and writers have extolled its virtues. Few paused to consider its costs. . . . One pernicious effect of literacy has gone largely unnoticed: writing subliminally fosters a patriarchal outlook. Writing of any kind, but especially its alphabetic form, diminishes feminine values and with them, women's power in the culture.
You know if I accepted Feminists' own views of their fellow women the only possible conclusion would be that women are such fragile, delicate creatures, utterly maladapted to this world, that they should be confined to large farms where they can organically till the soil and sing goddess songs during their sisterhood rites while protected from masculine technology such as written language, harsh words, standards, and sarcastic eye-rolling. For their protection and safety of course. (thanks to Ben)

Non-Americans Weigh in on Which American Customs Seem Outrageous or Pointless to Them
enormous gaps around toilet doors! omg why??? Edit: I'm no prude, I'll happily pee in a field, but it IS a shock when you visit the USA from Europe and feel so exposed. And women have period-related stuff to do as well, no-one wants an audience for that.
Blowing leaves instead of just picking them up in a plastic bag. I was living with relatives for a year and they asked me to clean the driveway. I said I would get the broom and sweep them into plastic bags to dispose them. They all looked at me like I was nuts and told me I was NOT to sweep, but BLOW the leaves in different directions. I replied the leaves would be back in ~15 mins after I had finished to which they said I didn't know what I was talking about.So I blew the damn leaves for an hour and went back inside once I was done. Not 30 mins after that, my uncle drags me out and scolds me because the driveway is full of leaves again.
DIDN'T I TELL YOU THE LEAVES WOULD BE BACK IF I DID NOT SWEEP THEM.

Yeah, buddy, here's the sooper seekret federal phone number at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration where they hand out the stealth visas.
They'll pretend they don't know anything about it, but that's just to weed out the rubes. You need to call them twenty times a day for a couple of weeks to get their attention and realize that you're for realz. Good luck! See you in the States!

Michelle Obama DID NOT have to wear a head scarf. She stood up to NO ONE.
Princess Diana didn't wear one. LAura Bush didn't wear one.
There is no requirement for a Western woman to do so, outside of a mosque. (At least not as VIP wives)
Had she gone to a mosque, as she did in Indonesia, and as she did with the Pope, she would have worn one.

I don't even want to be around tourists who have no gun experience while they are handling single-shot twenty-two long rifles with a manual bolt, much less anything full auto in any caliber.
At this point, I've had enough potentially lethal close calls with ignorant reckless dumbasses to last me for all of the rest of what I intend to be a long life.
The video of the range out West handing a full auto Uzi to a little girl and having the thing's muzzle climb get away from her and thereafter promptly shoot her instructor square in the forehead?
Yeah. That. Not for me. Thanks. I'll be in the bar. On the other end of town. Till well after the range closes. Hopefully till after it closes for good.

Don't waste your pride, Fenelon. She was under no obligation to do so. See my post above; Laura Bush didn't wear one, nor did Princess Diana, unless they were in a mosque. Mrs Obama would most certainly have covered up if she had visited one, as well she should.
You notice she did not force a handshake on any man who didn't offer first. She was following protocol.

one should buy that nonsense
because she wore a head scarf at a mosque in 2010.
---
I can't stand M'chelle, but I applaud her decision this week.
Going to a mosque, which is a religious site, and showing respect by covering your head seems appropriate to me. IIRC, other first ladies have done that or covered their heads when visiting the Pope.
My husband, who is not Jewish, wore a yarmulke when we attended a service at a synagogue.
But from what I've seen, the FLOTUS was dressed appropriately for a non-religious gathering. And as far as I can tell SHE wasn't chewing gum. So I'll give her credit this one time.

You'll note though, that I didn't say I'd want to be an instructor INSIDE the range, yes?
And that "instructor" out in (Phoenix, IIRC).... acted about as UN qualified as is possible to do.
Hell, when I've walked 200 lb. men, who know how to shoot.....through an intro to full auto, I've got my hands over the gun they're holding, an inch away, just as that critical measure of safety.
But to turn a seven year girl LOOSE with a full auto burst on a 9mm.....not a .22, but a freakin' centerfire 9mm.... egads, let's not replay that one.
All that said though, my point stands. The most effective way to get folks turned on to shooting, is to take 'em shooting.
800 rounds cyclic might not be the best way, of course. But I'll bet you that it'll get a lot of folks to pull a trigger, who'd never go NEAR a conventional range as a first step.
From reading the whole article, I think the range has the necessary safety steps in place. IF (big "if", I admit) they ADHERE to those standards, all will be well.
The real test is if they get sloppy five or six years from now. We shall see what we shall see.

Well sure, because bare boobs are taboo on the street here. In parts of the world they'd think freaking out about that is just as weird as you think freaking out about hair is, though, right?
I'd be scared nervous in SA, but I wouldn't let it stop me from going there. (If I had any interest in doing so, which I don't!)
There are places in the ME I'd love to see and I would have no problem wearing a headscarf anywhere. I do not see what the big deal is, honestly. I'd wear a burqa if I had to!
Mind you, I was raised by the Protestant version of the Taliban, so extreme modesty is not a foreign concept to me at all.

Another reason is cost. It is about $500K to $1M a mile to bury power lines. Hanging them is much cheaper like $50K to $100K a mile.
If you want that, then you will stop paying about 10-12 cents/kwhr and get ready for 35 cents/kwhr.
I prefer paying about $125 a month instead of $375.

Speaking as a lady who feels positively naked in Church without my headscarf, I have no problem with modesty. It is fake modesty that makes me cringe. Mooch wouldn't know modesty if it bit her in the butt. She thinks Beyonce is all that and a bag of chips, when it turns out she is just a bunch of lady bits covered with dental floss.
Some ladies do not feel the need to cover in Church, and that is their prerogative. However, I will side with St. Paul on this one. I cover, all the parts, including my head, out of deference to Our Lord. Not the same as requiring women to wear body bags because they "might" offend some mooslimbed asshat.

I realize that is not the same as a full burqa. I'm just saying that I am not as appalled by the whole cover up thing as most women would be, and wouldn't have as hard a time adjusting.

That's kind of you to say; You should speak to FenelonSpouse when I come in ranting about Obama and his administration, ;^). or ask my best friend of 40 year about that time I walked out of a diner because of some dimwitted political stuff she was saying. The latter was stupid of me and it hurt her feelings. I just have to be more diplomatic about what I say at times. The friend's daughter wants to work with the State Dept and her mother had no idea who Marie Harf was or that she refuses to speak of radical Islam. I have feeling she has no idea that Kerry was sent with James Taylor to sing "You've Got a Friend." What I would like to say is, "I hope your daughter gets a job with the State Dept. She could bring up the collective IQ" but it wouldn't go over well. Her daughter is impossibly liberal but she IS smarter than Marie Harf

He did go through extreme, big time Jesus phases. He threw out all the mirrors in the house once, as well as the TV, radios, stereo, albums, and any non-religious books. (My mama had my uncle come get all our stuff, thank God.)
He'd have been dead against slaughtering kids, though, I promise!

I've told this story on ONT before, but I like repeating myself.
Back in Mar '02, I was vacationing in NYC, and lost my wallet on the train to Newark (I was flying out the next day). Didn't realize it until I got to my hotel. Luckily, I had my credit card in my front pocket, same card I'd prepaid the room with.
A couple of hours later, my boss back in SoCal got a call from the train conductor. He'd found the wallet and pulled the phone number from my business card. So the wallet traveled all the way to DC before he could pass it on to the northbound conductor.
So I had to wait until the last train got into Penn Station Newark at around 9-10pm. Took a cab in and found that everything was closed. There was one guy working, a janitor. He took one look at me and said "you're the guy who lost the wallet, right?". He walked me down to the proper tracks in time to meet the train. Wallet and contents were handed over, complete and with nothing missing.

churches, but I personally wouldn't use the tern "Taliban" about them
as even fundamentalists I know don't make it a rule for women not to
have any education svn through high school and aren't slaughtering
schoolgirls on buses. Liberals I know use this term when they say there
is no difference between fundamentalist Christian and Islam and say they
Bible is just as oppressive as the Koran both of which I disagree
with. You, of course can use whatever term you want to about your
background. and I'm not intending to be argumentaitive. It's just not my
choice.
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at January 28, 2015 11:51 PM (DXzRD)
"Fundamentalist"
Christian to me is related to interpretation of the Bible, but
unfortunately it's been slapped on anyone who is Christian and
conservative, particularly with respect to social issues.
Is
"fundamentalist" about not having women in the clergy? Is it about being conservative in all social issues?
"Fundamentalist" is a pretty broad term. But people who equate "fundamentalist" Christians who may have conservative views on various subjects with the Taliban and their ilk are looking to shut down an argument because they are ignorant.
I don't think you'll hear Christians argue about wanting to withhold education from women, being favor of genital mutilation, or holding them as lower than men. Indeed, Christians agree that women are respected, loved, and equal in the sight of God.

There will always be 'line drop', i.e., voltage reduction as the current passes through longer lines. Also, the lines have be larger to carry more current because of the demand from multiple houses. All of which is to say, it is not (practically/economically) possible to string two-phase 220v lines to very many houses. Thus, a higher voltage line is used, and periodically a transformer will feed some small number of houses.
In our case, there are only two houses on one transformer.

Posted by: BB Wolf at January 28, 2015 11:44 PM (qh617)
Does Colorado require new building to bury their utilities? If so, who pays for it, the developer or the utilities? Does the state require the utilities to be buried from their right of ways to the property or all of their utility lines to be buried?
Colorado also pays about 15-25% more per kwhr than the states surrounding it.
My lines from the poles to the house are buried, but the poles are about 30 feet from the house. A housing development about a mile away buried all of their utilities, but that is more the developer doing that than a government requirement.
Also remember if there is a problem with the lines when they are buried, the utilities will have to dig up streets, driveways and lawns to replace those lines, and once you have gotten your sewer or water lines replaced, you will love the damage the repairs do to your property.

Biggest issue with the buried power lines is the trouble finding / fixing a fault.
Of course the most common fault is caused by the homeowners planting those bushes to hide that ugly transformer. Nick the insulation and a couple of years later the power goes outevery timeit's been raining long enough forthe ground to get saturated.
People don't know what they are risking by digging next to one of those things. That buried powerline doesn't always come up directly under that green box.

Several years back when Mr. Vendette was deployed there were two big dumps of snow to the point when this Canadian was saying "enough". Between the two dumps it was over two feet of wet cement. Yours truly duly shoveled. The neighbor had people come in to do the shoveling, much of which ended up on Mr. Vendette's lawn up to where I couldn't hurl the shovel above the pile, which was about 6 feet tall. I had to walk the snow across the street.
The neighbors across the street, one of whom had the most conservative 10-year-old I'd ever met, helped me out. I appreciate the dad and son to this day for helping me out.

Here in Virginia we get ice storms, heavy wet snows, tornados, remnants of hurricanes/tropical storms, and lots of rain. We lose power from time to time, but most of the power outages aren't to localized, they occur because the high voltage transmission lines have problems, and those can't be buried.
Plus, the homes in the neighborhood/quadrant of the city were built between 40 and 100 years ago. Tearing up the streets and right of ways would be a hell of a headache. Right now the gas company is replacing some of the lines in the neighborhood, and we have several very busy streets closed for about a month to do it. Hell, just repairing a water main leak means that the streets have to be torn up.
Just think what will happen when the cable/telco decides that they will run fiber optic cables. They will probably take their time in places where they have to bury the line and go straight to where they can hang it.

Based on my extensive observations, the purpose of leaf blowers is not to get rid of leaves, it's to keep Mexicans in permanent employment.
Most rational use of a leaf blower I ever saw was a used car lot in Canada that used it to blow snow off the cars in the lot.

That tank was part of Iraqi TO-and-E going back ages. It's pretty amazing that they were reliant on you to show them. Decay of institutional knowledge.
I bought a couple of beers for a retired treadhead who spent many years training to fight Soviet armor in the Fulda Gap. I asked what his first impression was when he got to look around inside a late-model Red MBT.
He said that the autoloader scared the crap out of him.
Not only was the tank smaller inside than he was used to, but there was this terrifying mechanical monster churning away in those close quarters. With a reputation for grabbing stray limbs and stuffing them into the breech of the gun. Oh boy.

I wonder if the Russians/Chicomms don't have a program like the "Bear Spares" that the US had. The US was able to manufacture replacement parts and other materials for Russian made armaments so that countries could buy from us instead of being reliant on the Russians if that country had a change of leadership/direction.
I can really see the Chinese providing those parts to places like Iran.

I wrote one of my best essays ever (in my opinion) on that very topic:
http://tinyurl.com/mcb4qhq
The Leaf-Blower Paradox and the Fundamental Fallacy of Obamanomics
A sample passage from the essay:
"Obama’s fundamental misapprehension of employment economics reminds me of an intriguing paradox I observed first-hand just a few months ago when I visited a relative who lived in a suburban tract:
Twice a week, my relative hired a “gardener” to clean up the front yard. I put “gardener” in quotes because this young hardworking immigrant didn’t actually know anything about plants or gardens; basically his only task was to get rid of the leaves that fell from the trees in front of the house. He achieved this very quickly and efficiently by using a gas-powered leaf-blower. Perhaps when he was first hired his technique was to blow all the leaves into a big pile which he would then load into his truck for removal. A few may have gone into the neighbors’ yards, but hey, they were out of my relative’s yard, so problem solved. I imagine that over time, as he got hired by more and more people in the tract due to his low rates, he worked quicker and quicker and sloppier and sloppier, until the day I observed him, when he no longer even made a pretense of gathering the leaves into a pile; instead, he just blew them all into the neighbors’ yards, and then hopped into his truck and drove off to his next client. At three or four yards per hour, he was (metaphorically at least) raking it in.
But here’s where the paradox begins. The neighbors would come back from their jobs at the end of the day, and see all the leaves on their lawns, and they’d call up their own gardeners who would proceed to do the exact same thing in reverse — blow all the same leaves back into my relative’s and adjacent neighbors’ yards. This cycle would go on across the entire tract, because the same leaf-shedding trees had been planted along every street: everyone would hire gardeners to blow the leaves back and forth from yard to yard. At the end of each week, exactly nothing had been achieved: all the leaves were back where they started. And then the cycle would begin again.
A normal person would look at this situation and say, “What a monumental waste of effort. So much human labor for no purpose whatsoever; after all those man-hours, nothing has changed. All the leaves are back in their original positions.”
Obama would look at this same situation and say, “How can you claim that nothing was achieved? Forty-seven gardeners are now fully employed!”
But I look at it and see what the radical theorists see: It’s not true at all that nothing has changed. Maybe the leaves are all in their original positions, but a great deal of money has been transferred from the middle-class homeowners to the immigrant gardeners.
If you think that “economic redistribution” from the middle-class to the “working poor” is desirable, then you see the Leaf-Blower Paradox not as a paradox at all but as a neat mechanism for extracting money from the more-well-off and giving it to the less-well-off.
But then the question arises: Why bother with the leaves at all? A simpler way to achieve the same thing would be for the “gardeners” to just drive very slowly through the neighborhood and each homeowner would toss $20 bills in the backs of their pickups trucks. The end result would be exactly the same.
Yet even this ludicrous scenario is not satisfactory for the true radicals. Why even bother with the pickup trucks? The Obamas of this world can (and do) produce the same result by instituting a tax — let’s call it the “Unemployed Gardener Tax” — and utilize the government as a middleman to transfer money from the employed to the unemployed. The gardeners can just sit at home watching TV all day, while the IRS collects extra taxes from the middle-class workers and doles it out as benefits to the would-be gardeners.

In his defense, his formative years were spent in Indonesia (where Mrs Obama was extremely covered up) and he would have learned a deep reverence for him there.
Did he bow to the new king this time, I didn't see if he did or not. I"m guessing he did not, because the first time was probably reflexive.

The speed of AF1 is classified, but there were smiles and "no comments" from former pilots when asked if it could go supersonic. It was rumored to go Mach 1 on 9/11/01 on the return to DC.

Listen, Lady... I've got Shit to Do Day-In-And-Day-Out.
I'm a "Statstics-Guy" and no one outside of Fantasy Baseball wants to hear about that shit.
NO ONE.
Cochran brings the "real baseball" that everyone loves.

You were my first choice, and you can go to the old threads and see that for yourself.
Cochran does a fantastic job, I love what he brings, too!
But those stats of yourn put me some fuckin' knowledge, ya know? And that is especially great this time of year. Keeps me up to speed.
So get a hold of Dildo and DO IT ALREADY!

I've met a couple of people out of the Blackbird community.
Including retired engineers who were in on the early years.
I said, "Designed with slide rules," and they corrected me. They did in fact have, and use, a couple of digital computers. Not very fast or capable ones.
A lot of what the slide rules and computers did was merely to confirm the uncanny engineering intuition of Kelly Johnson.

The SR-71 just makes you proud to be an American.....probably why they retired it (twice).

All the UDTs in the Philippines got Vietnam service medals because they were in theater (like the ships in the South China Sea) and could have been deployed.
Today there is no UDT training; it is incorporated into BUDS (the SEALS' basic school), and there are no UDT units any more.
I understand that UDT qualified vets are considered to be welcome in SEAL bars and part of the SEAL community (provided they don't badmouth the troops, apparently).

First off, duh. Palin was a woman in her forties. Of course she couldn't make it through SEAL training. Does this render all her opinions moot? Of course not.
Second, Jesse, you didn't make it through SEAL training, either. You were never a SEAL, yourself!

I may try that - lack of ethanol may be the reason for the headache!

I'm the very fucking last person to give advice to anyone. You do what you feel is right, and from what I gather, you and your girl will be alright.
*wry smile* neither of you are in the Army. That alone gives you a huge advantage.

I actually wasn't looking for anything with relevance to my personal situation -- the fiancee and I have a few years on you. I was hoping for something that might make it easier to explain to others.....

Shit started going sideways when I reenlisted after a 12 year break in service in 2001. That's on me, though he and the girls were supportive at the time.
If I could go back and tell the 32 year old me at the time, I would tell her that the Army is not more important than her family and to reconsider.

Well. Alrighty then. The only thing I can even remotely compare that to is that I have to go buy a tablet for school. I just need to be able to access some course work online for labs and to have text books and email.
Any suggestions for less than $350?

I just use butter and salt. Of course, I don't boil it until it is mush - I put the dry meal in a bowl and pour in just enough boiling water to cover the meal, slip in the butter, cover the bowl with a plate, and let it sit for 5 or 10 minutes. Then add salt and stir.
Salt makes a big difference. I hope they give us salt in the camps.

ASUS makes durable kit...
I'd compare the processor type/speed and go from there...
You can always add an SD card for up to 64 gig more storage if needed...
Hell they even have Bluetooth keyboards now...
I'm thinking next gen unless the video game fare gets a LOT better I am going to Bury my heart at wounded knee and just trick out a tablet or laptop...

All true, however it is a lot like french fries...
I make great french fries....
I mean GREAT french fries....
and I love French fries....almost to the point it is carnal...
and French Fries...well Fries are awesome...and if I gave in to my desires on fries I'd weigh ~ 800 pounds....
I take a kettle of premium peanut oil, deep russet baking taters time spices and A-1 sauce and go to town....
AND
I eat instead Ore-Ida fries that while better than its peer group are to Sven J Olafson brand fries what mad Dog 20/20 is to Dom perignon....
b/c convenience and temptation are inversely proportional.
