Overnight Open Thread (9-13-2015)
A TRIUMPH OF DENIAL PROPAGANDAIt is sad that with humanity facing catastrophic climate disruption as part of an existential threat that there are still people willing to attack Mike Mann, one of the real heroes of climate science, outrageous lies. But one must admire the well-funded denier campaign, carried forward by the likes of Rupert Murdoch and his "False News" network, for the campaign's persistence in the face of massive evidence, its success in confusing much of the public, and creating a propioganda [sic] triumph equivalent to that of creationism in keeping Medieval nonsense embedded in the brains of many Americans. Unhappily the "triumph" may prove doom for many of our descendents [sic]. Mike Mann is admired by all real climate scientists, even those who may have same disagreements with him (there is no certainty in science, unlike in the world of denial propogandists [sic]) -- and I know many of the leading players and follow the field closely. The best one can say of this silly collection of comments from hacks and has-beens, mixed with quotes-out-of-context, is that it is NOT a disgrace to the profession of its perpetrators, nor to their pimps.
-- Amazon review of Mark Steyn's new book, 'A Disgrace to the Profession', left by Paul Ehrlich. Yes that Paul Ehrlich.
If you understand that feminism is, in part, a leveling mechanism used by less-attractive women against more-attractive women, it will make sense.
-- Glenn Reynolds
As the Hungarians see it, this is picking up where they left off in 1683.
-- Bookworm on the Hungarians' resistance to another Muslim invasion.
It's a fascinating time to be a Pan-European, nu? The Austrians are insinuating that the Hungarians are Nazis. The Swedes are yelling at the Danes because the latter is firmly moving refugees right along to Sweden (which is apparently a popular refugee destination spot). The French (and most of central Europe) are dealing with mutterings from its own populace that maybe they should be accepting Christian refugees first. The Italians (who have lots of ports, remember) are screaming for everybody else to start taking refugees like they're supposed to. And the British are digging in their heels on refugee quotas while support for leaving the EU entirely continues to grow. In short: it's not really going well for the aforementioned Pan-Europeans.The entire thing would be quite the knee-slapper, except that I have children who will be of military age in about, oh, ten years or so. I would rather that we not be faced with yet another general European war in that time - and, no, I don't think that we can avoid getting sucked into one. We have yet to avoid getting sucked into a general European war. Why would we change our losing streak in that regard now?
-- Moe Lane
And Czech is now doing the same thing on their border with Austria. But of course Hungary is still terrible for building a fence and refusing take in the refugees that Germany is now restricting.
For not just throwing open their borders to all 'Syrian' refugees who want to enter like their morally upstanding betters to the west and north.
The only connection between recent events in Budapest and what happened in 1944 is that trains were involved in both cases. Sealed wagons steaming towards concentration camps should not be confused with trains sitting stationary in a Budapest railway station. Even Fisk should get that...
He also shows a remarkable level of ignorance about Hungarian history and culture. He finds it difficult to comprehend why Hungarian patriots look back on their nation's occupation by the Ottoman Empire with 'extreme distaste'. Yet one need not be a patriot to recall the historic significance of the Ottoman occupation of Hungary. The loss of national independence to a foreign empire is imprinted in Hungary's historical psyche. The wars fought in the sixteenth century to regain Hungarian self-rule serve as a reminder that national independence cannot be taken for granted. Subsequent occupations of Hungary by a variety of empires have reinforced the nation's sensitivity to the dictates of foreign powers.

Who Bargains With the Bargainers?
It turns out that even the staff of a public union can have their own bargaining union, which can then lead to some hot union-on-union labor conflict action.
The union which represents Vermont government employees, the Vermont State Employees Association (VSEA), is getting a little taste of its own medicine. You see, it turns out that VSEA staff have their own union, the Staff Alliance, to help 16 non-executive employees bargain with the VSEA. The two unions are entangled in a dispute that could be headed to court, according to the Vermont Press Bureau.

Find a wholesale rental house (company that rents to those who rent). If in Atl, I could find you a house that rents a JVC or Panasonic with 2 64GB chips for $150/ day/camera. A little more if you want a 1TB HD. Switchers are around cheap for multi shoots, as are robotic cameras.

But of course even during the zombie apocalypse there's got to be one jack-off (Travis) who has an aversion to guns even though one was used to save Travis from his death. Sadly, there would be such idiots present in a real life crisis too, especially if they're from California and have a "soft" job.

There really can only be one source for this. Once you introduce multiple sources, the TCG will lose its meaning as any tiny little variant from any source will have video/audio out of synch. This assumes a multi cam setup, run through a switch.
If you are going to Iso the cams, TCG from the output of each of those is fine.

The zombie apocalypse with DC around would look nothing like TWD. Don't like guns? Fine, here's a folding knife and a can of tuna. Good luck.
Everyone who wants to live, here's the deal. No one goes anywhere alone. No one goes anywhere unarmed. No, fuck knuckle, you can't leave your rifle and wander away to take a shit. There's actual frigging zombies, dumbass.
360 security at all times. Everyone will carry an edged weapon and a firearm at all times. If you get caught sleeping on watch you will be summarily executed. If you lose your weapon you will be summarily executed. If you jack up our unit cohesion with your drama, you will be summarily executed. If you feed me any bullshit about how we can reason with the zombies, I will send you out as our ambassador.
If you can maintain some semblance of discipline and small unit tactics, you'll live. It's not like it's an army of zombie Rommels we're fighting here.

That all sounds good to me.
*SPOILER ALERT!*
Regarding your "if you feed me any bullshit about how we can reason with the zombies, I will send you out as our ambassador." point, the Travis character does prevent another character from mercifully dispatching a zombie because "we don't know" and "you don't want to do something that cannot be reversed."
Death is usually pretty irreversible, dude. And that decision not to kill a dangerous walker almost cost another character their life.

2) I want a pencil like you wouldn't believe. It is not a 'stylus' if you look at what it can do. Artists/graphic designers need something with more precision. If this pencil can do it, I'm sold.
3) I love the case/keyboard. I have needed this as well. Just because 'someone else did it first' doesn't make it good or better. Surface just plain sucks (this is from 2 close friends who had terrible experiences with them).
They are going to sell a ton of the iPad Pros. I have wanted a tablet, not a laptop...and now I will have one that does everything I need it to do for work. Fantastic.
I know people who have the iWatch and LOVE it. I think it depends on what your needs are. For a woman, we put our cell phones in our purses...some women carry BIG purses. You can't hear the thing ring. You miss calls and texts b/c you can't hear it. iWatch alleviates that problem for some. Might not be for you.

Yep. Single stack comes with 2 5 rounders, got this one also with 2 7 rounders with pinky extensions. Put 100 through it today, I love this thing. Grouped in the 9 ring at 7 yards, which is all I ask out of a carry gun. I mean a 1 inch group, with multiple overlaps.
Surprisingly little recoil for such a little .45. It goes a little side to side, but not much snap up.

Hmm, lots of threads in the thread.
FearTWD. More mediocre writing. More characters who don't make sense (Travis wants to scram out of LA immediately, tells the 2nd wife not to wait for him, then after seeing insane stuff and the collapse of order well advanced .... he decides they need to sit tight for 6 more hours once he gets home - ha! Hilariously bad writing). Think their budget is low, too. Tonight was mostly just a boring version of one of the TWD episodes, almost all interiors, with a very little bit at the end where some LA area Nat. Guard got to have fun as extras. Oh and nobody makes any effort to get *any* information about what's going on - not even turn on the car radio to hear emergency bulletins. Nothing. Right.
XDs. Nice. Only have the 9mm full-size (5-inch barrel actually). Lots of people put in the Powder River trigger kits. Meh. Anybody who wants to become proficient can learn to shoot just as well with the factory set up. So simple and rugged, easy to clean.
Ehrlich. Jeebus. Well accountability and logic and common sense have been banished from the public square for a while now, so why shouldn't someone as demonstrably stupid as he be taken at all seriously? Standards are gone, all institutions are degraded - most beyond recognition and well into pernicious territory.

Skip Egypt. Do Petra and Wadi Rum in Jordan, and rent a car and travel around Oman. If you *must" visit the eastern Arab countries. These days.

As I said, anyone who wants to learn to shoot well with the XD can do so with the factory trigger. Or, if one prefers, I'm sure they can do the same with the Powder River kit. To each their own.
The common point is that it's a good platform. Grip angle like a 1911, durable, simple, easy to maintain. And I've never shot the -M or -S variants, just the basic 9mm 5-inch.

Had just finished a massive paragraph on my impressions of Interstellar when browser crashed taking my review into the Internet version of a black hole.
Suffice to say, not impressed by this movie. Nolan strove too hard to tell 'the proverbial good science fiction movie' and what resulted suffered from trying to do that. And perhaps my ear is hearing audio phantoms, but on a few occasions I am pretty sure there were homages to Lux Eterna from 2001. And Cooper being lost in a multi-spatial representation of Fates' loom, well it makes Bowman's trip through TMA-2 seem completely understandable in comparison.

That's already been done -- but not as political jiujitsu, but rather for personal gain.
There is a famous case of an individual who applied for a PhD program at UC Berkeley in one of the jive-ass liberal arts/social studies departments.
In these postgraduate admissions, they interview you in person, so they can "assess" you better. The real purpose behind the interview is to determine just how PC and/or leftwing you are, and the quality of whatever grievance/victimology tale you can spin.
Well, this person's gimmick was -- "I am transgender! I was born female, but I have transitioned to be a male. I want to do my thesis about how mean and prejudiced universities are to trannies like me! And I demand a full scholarship, you meanies!"
Well, this was a brilliant ploy. The more of a demented demanding accusatory passive-aggressive victim-posturer you are, the more they love you. So they were about to let this person in, when...
...One of the people on the admissions committee, started to smell a rat, and begin to dig into this person's background. And discovered that...
(...can you guess?...)
...The person was not transgender at all, but was born a man and then pretended to be a woman who has transitioned into being a man. The reason he made such a convincing FtM tranny is that he was a man to begin with! His early academic transcripts proved this.
The other people on the admissions committee had all been thinking to themselves, "Damn, that must have been one ugly chick when she was female; it's completely understandable why she needed to become a man!"
Anyway, the dissenter bright his evidence to the committee and...
...(can you guess this one? Sure you can)...
...was kicked off the committee for doubting the Holy Transgender Truth, thereby committing an academic hate crime!
Being, or claiming to be, transgender, is an instant shield from any and all criticism, even criticism (with proof) that you are not in fact transgender.
Final status: fake tranny admitted, given full scholarship, doubting-thomas prof demoted.
And that's life in modern academia.

Which sums up pretty much what we thought about those "real" scientists. Which is, they ain't.
About those walrus who are hauling out in September? They do that every year, but the NYT just noticed it. Can't float on sea ice when that sea ice melts, sure, but it's September. End of summer. Least extent of sea ice, due to, get this, seasons.
About that glacier melting back in Alaska? The one on the other side of the mountain is growing. Called Bear Glacier. Goes right down into the ocean.
About the asshat in chief who selfies himself in front of Exit Glacier? Guess he managed to finally leave us alone without having the door hit his ass on the way out. That salmon wasn't the only creature that wanted to piss on his shoes.

Well, it seems to be. But that's not my department. Somebody had a brain fart when ordering the wellsite accommodation, though. My "office" is in one end of a "command centre" which also houses the directional drillers and the drilling supervisor. Done that before, no big deal, although I do prefer the privacy of my own shack. Sleeping quarters is a small bedroom/kitchenette in a separate shack, and sample lab is yet another small trailer, with less than the desired amount of exhaust fans.
Hell of it is, on previous wells with the same client, we had a great setup. A double-ender for the day/night drilling supervisors, a double/ender for the directional drillers, and a double-ender with a built-in sample lab firewalled off from the sleeping/office quarters for the day/night geologists, which shack was purpose-built for us. But I'm not going to complain too loudly, because work is scarce, and I am lucky to have any at all right now.

I did my usual search all the complaints before buying and the only consistent one I found was a certain set of models had compressors that went kaput. Of the ones that said so initially or when asked all of them had it on 24/7.
I use it for mornings. It's set to turn on at 5:30, stay on for 2 hours and then shut off. I mean really, does it need to be on all day?
