Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Overnight Open Thread (12-13-2015)Back in the 1980s, when I first heard Christians complain about "secular humanism," I thought they were crazy. To me, a atheist Jewish Democrat, the phrase simply meant an entire absence of faith in the public square - and wasn't that a good thing? Woo Hoo The Geminid Meteor Shower Is Here It will peak tonight and tomorrow and should be starting...right about the time you read this. They appear to originate from the constellation Gemini and at their peak will have a meteor per minute on average. Where do they come from? Well mainly from the asteroid Asteroid 3200 Phaethon which has an orbit that takes it very close to the sun where thermal stress causes pieces of it to crack off and trail behind the asteroid in orbit. When the Earth's orbit takes it through Phaeton's debris we get tonight's meteor shower. White House Shocked, Mystified by Gun Sales Surge President Obama's spokesman said Thursday that the record number of Americans seeking to buy guns in recent weeks is "a tragedy" that the White House is at a loss to explain. Note also how Earnest and Obama conflate law-abiding citizens legally purchasing guns for their individual use with guns just being 'on the street'.
David French on the Hidden Reason Americans Dislike Islam The standard leftist trope is that anti-Islam feeling is due to ignorance (and racism despite Islam not being a race). But in the 14 years since 9/11 the average American now knows far more about Islam than they did that day and is hardly ignorant about it - especially since 9/11 has required many Americans to have up and close and personal encounters with Islam as it's practiced in Islamic countries. So maybe we actually have good justified reasons for not liking it and aren't just acting out of ignorance. There will be no doubt some hand-wringing about "Islamophobia" and further calls to continue the American elite's fourteen-year track record of whitewashing Islamic beliefs and culture, but I wonder if the media is missing a powerful, largely-uncovered influence on America's hearts and minds - the experience and testimony of the more than two million Americans who've served overseas since 9/11 and have experienced Islamic cultures up-close. Tyler Cowen on Just How Martial of a Country Should the United States Be? An interesting analysis where he points out that gun control does not exist in a vacuum and is connected to larger national politics and foreign policy. If you think America can sustain its foreign policy interventionism, or threat of such, without a fairly martial culture at home, by all means make your case. But I am skeptical. I think it is far more likely that if you brought about gun control, and the cultural preconditions for successful gun control, America's world role would fundamentally change and America's would no longer play a global policeman role, for better or worse. Professional 'journalists' are now mandated to hide pertinent facts from you (such as this one) lest you draw unapproved conclusions from them. This appeared in the Globe and Mail on Dec. 9th: And then the inevitable correction on Dec. 11: The Most PC/Least American Elementary School in the US is...PS 169 in Sunset Park, Brooklyn Santa Claus is banned. The Pledge of Allegiance is no longer recited. "Harvest festival" has replaced Thanksgiving, and "winter celebrations" substitute for Christmas parties. David Steinberg is far more restrained than I would be but it's an interesting analysis of exactly how Greenwald uses wordplay to dishonestly mislead his readers. Here he carefully responds to a strawman version of what PJM reported and proceeds to tear it apart in a 3000 word screed of righteous anger giving the impression that he's completely contradicted their report. But in fact he never actually contradicted anything they actually reported and that was by deliberate design since he is unable to.

Dragged from the Texas slaughterhouse thread below, Anna Puma writes - 'I saw the trailer for The Expanse and when they did the Zero-G sex scene I decided to skip. They were clutching each other yes, but also floating in the middle of a big empty room apparently untethered. Newton and his laws would have them hitting a wall by the third thrust.
And in space , well living space would be at a premium. Unless they were doing the wyld thang in a cargo area.' Having read some I-assume-realistic descriptions of zero g sex ("Luna Marine"), I'm pleased to not see how that translates to the screen.

We had a zero-g sex discussion here the other night.
In weightlessness, you can't "swim" in air like you do in water at all. Not enough reaction mass to push against. Someone floating around can flail about all they want and do very little but look stupid. Now two people together could push off each other and launch themselves in opposite directions, which is what would likely happen. The vagaries of angular momentum conservation means they likely would get themselves tumbling uncontrollably as well. It would be fun to develop the proper protocols and techniques, of course. I actually wonder if it's been tried. Of course, it would be very hush hush, as it is officially verbotten, but women have been on the space station regularly for long stints with men. Put men and women together, shit happens. The striking thing with women is the hair. Those with longer hair look awful as the hair just goes wild, floating everywhere.

I think acetaminophen is pretty effective for small children with high fevers. There's a fairly predictable, repeatable response to my child taking kids tylenol when she has an extremely high 100+ fever and the fever then going down. As far as other flu symptoms I don't know. But I just concern my self with the temperature. We start with ibuprofen only and then alternate with tylenol if needed.
And regardless of what they say now about not "over" controlling temperature rise during a fever if you've ever had to deal with your child in a febrile seizure from fever you'll damn sure prevent it from happening again.

Acetaminophen is crap. (IMO) Never did anything for headache, fever, pain, etc. for me.
/rant on It's in nearly every OTC cold remedy, so it's a PITA to get Only What's Necessary To Treat My Symptoms --about once a year-- without having to take a potentially lethal dose of the crap. /rant off Ibuprofen works better for me IF I need pain or fever relief.

78: Yep, a sleeping bag or something similar would probably be the best option. You'd want to be confined in a relatively small space with padding.
Of course, if all the participants want to go is get each other off, there's no need to really go for the thrusting. With 6 month stints, I'm very sure just about all them have to "let off some steam", by themselves if nothing else. And we don't want any globs of loose bodily fluids floating around. Imagine motoring around and something hits you in the face. What's that? OMG! There's a funny bit in one of the Apollo mission transcripts which involved some stuff we never heard about. One of the three noticed something floating around in the capsule. Something disgusting. All three then denied it was their own. Back then, toilet facilities consisted of little more than a plastic bag, and someone had a little accident and let something not get in the bag properly.

What was strange about it? War hero. President. Frontiersman. Posted by: Ricardo Kill at December 13, 2015 11:29 PM (nXxF1) Vetoing the re-authorization of the Second National Bank of the United States: "It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes. Distinctions in society will always exist under every just government. Equality of talents, of education, or of wealth can not be produced by human institutions. In the full enjoyment of the gifts of Heaven and the fruits of superior industry, economy, and virtue, every man is equally entitled to protection by law; but when the laws undertake to add to these natural and just advantages artificial distinctions, to grant titles, gratuities, and exclusive privileges, to make the rich richer and the potent more powerful, the humble members of society-the farmers, mechanics, and laborers-who have neither the time nor the means of securing like favors to themselves, have a right to complain of the injustice of their Government. There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses. If it would confine itself to equal protection, and, as Heaven does its rains, shower its favors alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing. In the act before me there seems to be a wide and unnecessary departure from these just principles. Nor is our Government to be maintained or our Union preserved by invasions of the rights and powers of the several States. In thus attempting to make our General Government strong we make it weak. Its true strength consists in leaving individuals and States as much as possible to themselves-in making itself felt, not in its power, but in its beneficence; not in its control, but in its protection; not in binding the States more closely to the center, but leaving each to move unobstructed in its proper orbit. Experience should teach us wisdom. Most of the difficulties our Government now encounters and most of the dangers which impend over our Union have sprung from an abandonment of the legitimate objects of Government by our national legislation, and the adoption of such principles as are embodied in this act. Many of our rich men have not been content with equal protection and equal benefits, but have besought us to make them richer by act of Congress. By attempting to gratify their desires we have in the results of our legislation arrayed section against section, interest against interest, and man against man, in a fearful commotion which threatens to shake the foundations of our Union. It is time to pause in our career to review our principles, and if possible revive that devoted patriotism and spirit of compromise which distinguished the sages of the Revolution and the fathers of our Union. If we can not at once, in justice to interests vested under improvident legislation, make our Government what it ought to be, we can at least take a stand against all new grants of monopolies and exclusive privileges, against any prostitution of our Government to the advancement of the few at the expense of the many, and in favor of compromise and gradual reform in our code of laws and system of political economy. I have now done my duty to my country. If sustained by my fellow citizens, I shall be grateful and happy; if not, I shall find in the motives which impel me ample grounds for contentment and peace. In the difficulties which surround us and the dangers which threaten our institutions there is cause for neither dismay nor alarm. For relief and deliverance let us firmly rely on that kind Providence which I am sure watches with peculiar care over the destinies of our Republic, and on the intelligence and wisdom of our countrymen. Through His abundant goodness and heir patriotic devotion our liberty and Union will be preserved." Posted by: cthulhu at December 13, 2015 11:47 PM (EzgxV) 179

Jesse Walker argues in Reason that the Klan in 1924 was completing the move from a Southern "overwhelmingly rural, fundamentalist" setting to the cities and other regions. "The Klan controlled the governments of Indiana, Oregon, and Colorado, elected other politicians across the country, and played a major role in the Democratic convention of 1924; its members included future president Harry Truman and future Supreme Court justice Hugo Black. It reinvented itself as an "anti-Catholic" movement "largely concerned with enforcing an authoritarian moral order" based on pseudo-scientific theories like eugenics.

Hmmm, just looking at some of the latest, it seems that sperm counts (at least in rats) drop dramatically in zero-g and ovaries get messed up as well.
Something also interesting is the miscarriage rate among women who've been in space is much higher than normal, but they can't really pin it down on the space/weightlessness exposure. Basically, everything we're learning shows that zero-g is very bad for us. Not just zero-g, but anything different from 1g +/- some small tolerance. 1g has been the background against which life has developed here for billions of years. It's a basic "given" to everything, and changing it does all sorts of things.

Hmmph. There are some scientists trying to get all sorts of medical data on astronauts including "reproductive health" data to see if they can see any harmful effects, but they've mostly been shut down. NASA says privacy overrides the need and will not cooperate.

That is truly it in a nutshell. Until we make up our minds that 1. Islam is at war with the world 2. Islam wants to kill any disbelievers and their assistants. 3. Many Muslims believe in Islam 4. Many Muslims do not believe in Islam but will go along 5. The ones that believe in Islam are dangerous and homicidal 6. Their numbers are large enough for them to be a concern 7. That concern is great enough to desire Muslims to be isolated 8. That necessary isolation is important enough to send soldiers or police to accomplish 9. We will spend money to make that happen. Not as nushelly but here goes: Islam needs to die. Posted by: Bitter Clinger and All That at December 14, 2015 12:20 AM (Xo1Rt) 259

It's like when you're nice neighbor down the street flips his wig and decides to start shooting anyone passing by.
You liked the guy and he doesn't deserve to die but neither dot he people he's killing so he's most likely going to have to be shot. I believe that the Government won't take action until the man in the street does and then only to restrain the man in the street. We will then be forced into a Civil War with the common man against the government protecting the Muslims. It will be very ugly and very messy. The country will never be the same again unless someone takes charge and stops any further invasion by those who's very being is inimical to the Constitution or to any peaceful prosperous life.

So. Totally off topic, sort of. I recently joined the Denver Astronomical Society, and in an effort to start interacting with people who actually know what they are doing, I have recently started volunteering to do Star Parties for people who request the DAS do a presentation.
Thursday I went to a presentation, but we couldn't deploy our telescopes due to the weather, but we still set them up in the meeting room for the students and their parents. After we did the presentation, we had a lot of kids come up and ask questions about our equipment, stars, planets and all sorts of things. I'm still a rank amateur, but I answered as best I could. Tonight I did another presentation with another more experienced astronomer and it was great. Clear skies, and a good crowd of kids and adults. I even got to see a couple of things I'd never seen before with my telescope thanks to the more experienced member. I had a blast. Didn't see any of the Geminid meteors though. Did see my first double star. Posted by: Old Blue at December 14, 2015 12:53 AM (9iR5/) Posted by: qdpsteve at December 14, 2015 12:53 AM (ntObR) 338
Absolute zero is impossible, but would you believe that *negative* absolute temperature is possible? Yes. They actually achieved negative temperature in an experiment. :-)
Ponder that a while. Actually, negative temperature is a quantum phenomenon, a condition that is impossible classically. That is to say, what we think of as "temperature" in macroscopic experience is impossible to be negative. But some quantum tricks make it possible. Basically, it's a relationship where temperature has a mathematical definition, a statistical one, and quantum weirdness turns that definition on it's head. Actually, negative temperature is more "hotter than infinitely hot", than colder than absolute zero, but this is just word games you can play from the equations.

no, negative temperature is not possible.
people only get "negative temperature" by applying an equilibrium thermodynamic model to a nonequilibrium system. Yes you can get population inversions, and if you apply the boltzmann distribution to a population inversion you get a "negative temperature" but those are not equilibrium systems. so the whole "negative temperature" stuff is crap.

quantum weirdness
--------- Sort of like one electron can be in two places at the same time, or how the spin of one electron can affect the spin of another electron separated by a large distance. Or how an electron can exhibit a wave function at one time, but a particle function another time and that the difference between the two functions is actually the act of observing the function.

Not to brag, but myself and my lovely wife were present for Burr's rant. We were guests of Vos, who emceed the whole event. We were backstage, drinking premium tequila at a makeshift bar (which was a rental truck, pulled up to a loading dock in the rear of the Tweeter Center). When Burr went on, we gathered stage left, near the bank of monitors... me, my wife, Opie, Anthony, a couple others who were on the bill... and we knew, when Burr shifted into high gear, that we were watching something historical. I was the first to greet Burr when he came offstage, down the chute. He was dazed. I said, "Man! That was historical!" He didn't really acknowledge me. We knew something was up, because the crowd was giving shit to some acts that they shouldn't have. Burr put a stop to all that shit.

That necessary isolation is important enough to send soldiers or police to accomplish 9. We will spend money to make that happen. If I may add, 10.

The guys who've done this would disagree, chemjeff. The trick is to make a system where there is an upper limit on energy, and thus reach a condition where adding energy lowers entropy, rather than increasing it.

I drove over the road for over twenty years, and you hear stories like that all the time. I've never understood why, if you are going to take your own life, that you feel that you have to involve some innocent person. It's one of those things that you will never forget. It will come to you when you least expect it. And it is also something that you will never understand. You have my prayers, Brother. Posted by: Old Blue at December 14, 2015 01:31 AM (9iR5/) 400

I got to see my grandnephew today. He's great. Perfect, in fact. Walking, talking (well, sort of) and being every bit of 14 months old. Niece is still a beautiful young woman, her husband seems like a real good kid, life is OK for them. The Bad: I tried to take Mom out for lunch. Everywhere we decided to go was closed on Sunday. Couldn't even find a hot dog joint to sit down in. Then, we decided on an old friend's sub shop nearby as a last ditch effort. Not only was he closed, but there was a "for lease" sign in the window. And I can't find a good phone number for him anywhere - 30 fucking years, and now gone... The Ugly: Almost got into a knock-down, drag-out scrapper with my brother today. It was bad. Stupid bad. Bad enough that people cried. Mom, sis, nieces, baby, etc.. I've never done that. I'm embarassed. He deserved to be beaten into a pile of pulp, but probably not in front of Mom. Hell, he's needed that shit for quite a while now, I was just kind of waiting for the chance to do it privately. He wanted to make it public, though. Meh.

The way I have always understood it:
The Boltzmann distribution can be used as a definition of temperature when everything is at thermal equilibrium *and there are no external forces*. (Generally gravity is neglected.) When that is the case, then you have the normal relationships of thermodynamics. But when you apply external forces such as a strong magnetic field, then the Boltzmann distribution no longer applies. So if you apply the Boltzmann distribution to such a system even if it is at equilibrium *under the influence of a field*, you will get seemingly absurd results like "negative temperature". That is because the wrong model is being applied to the system, not because the system actually does have negative temperature. When there is a population inversion due to the presence of a strong field such as a magnetic field, the system still has a finite positive temperature. That temperature would be attributed from the average kinetic energy that is derived from the statistical mechanical partition function *most appropriate for that system*. I will confess that this is not my area of strength, but I'm pretty confident that the temperature, as a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a system, will always be a positive finite number, and never negative, not even for a quantum system. That is how I understand things anyway. Posted by: chemjeff at December 14, 2015 01:50 AM (uZNvH) Posted by: chemjeff at December 14, 2015 01:55 AM (uZNvH) 415
Generally gravity is neglected
---------- Isn't it interesting that gravity is such a weak force until you apply it to mass. I had this odd thought the other night. I have mass, therefore I have gravity. Plop me into deep space where nothing is around and I could actually bend light around my mass. Probably not by enough to measure, but I could. Drop me into a nebulae with a lot of dust and gas, and I could become the center of a star. My mass, over time, would attract enough gas and dust to become the heart of a star.

It's not absurd, it's just putting a system under conditions that are beyond the box, so to speak. Note that negative temperature is not "colder than coldest" but "hotter than hot". Heat will flow from a negative temperature system to a positive temperature one.
The trick is you create a system that has a maximum energy possible and you have a finite number of possible states. In the normal world, there are an infinite number of states, and one never can get to the point where temperature flips to negative. But in these special systems, you can. You reach a point of maximum entropy, statistically defined. Adding more energy *reduces* the entropy of the system. IOW, the system becomes "more ordered" as you add energy. At that point, dS/dQ becomes negative. This is inverse temperature. Thus the transition to negative temperature is like, in a normal system, getting to infinite temperature, then getting hotter. WIth an infinite number of states, you can't do it, but when you have a finite number, you can. That's all it is. You can say it's meaningless, that under those conditions, the definition of temperature being used in no longer acceptable or something. But that definition works, and acts just like a negative absolute temperature. Posted by: publius (not Breitbart publius) at December 14, 2015 01:59 AM (dvuhZ) 419

Well, with "willow-like" precision, looks like I missed the person I was addressing a comment to. So signing off and heading to some reading. The Goebbels bio is getting pretty good. Though I'll have to consult a different sourceto better explain the chaos that led to Hitler's appointment as chancellor by Hindenburg. The bio mostly builds itself around Goebbels'diary entries, andthe maneuvering among the players that led to Hitler's appointment is pretty dizzying when recounted in condensed form. Still hungry for the wood-grilled steak though. Posted by: rhomboid at December 14, 2015 02:25 AM (QDnY+) 432

"It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes...... Damn, that was a helluva speech. Too bad we don't hear stuff like that anymore. Posted by: Blano at December 14, 2015 01:29 AM (C3E0x) It's thick, but it's chewy. BTW -- when I was born, copyrights required that you mark the work with the date of publication and continued for 28 years, which could be extended by another 28 years if you bothered, under the Copyright Act of 1909, which was just over 50 years old at the time. Well, I'm now just over 50 years old. During my lifetime, the Copyright Act of 1976 removed "publication" from being an issue, eliminated the marking requirement, and punted expiration until 50 years after an author's death (or 75 years after the creation of an anonymous work). The Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 extended this to the life of the author plus 70 years, 95 years from publication of corporate or anonymous works, or 120 years from creation for corporate or anonymous works. Something copyrightable that was created on my birthday should have been in the public domain within 30 years. When I was in my teens, it got kicked out to 50 years + lifespan -- same work. When I was in my 30s, it got kicked out to 70 years + lifespan -- same work, still created on my birthday. To understand how outrageous this is, you have to delve into the nature of copyright (or patent, they're very similar). Here is the basic deal -- you create something worthwhile that can be copied. You can (1) keep it secret, and maintain that secret through your own security and contractual obligations [Note -- this is "Trade Secret" law]; or (2) disclose it fully, so that any idiot could copy it, in return for a period of government protection. After that period, any idiot can copy it freely [Patent or copyright]. There is a yin and a yang -- the full force and power of the government is at your beck-and-call during the term of your deal.....but you get nothing the day after. This was completely understood between 1909 and 1976. The day a 1960 copyright was extended from 1988 to (a minimum of, assuming the artist died immediately afterward) 2010, you are clearly in "but when the laws undertake to add to these natural and just advantages artificial distinctions, to grant titles, gratuities, and exclusive privileges, to make the rich richer and the potent more powerful" territory.

OK, since all the cool kids have gone to bed, I have a long, funny story.
Or, a boring story that is funny to me (and maybe one old guy here). You know that old toy that your dog won't give up? That one stinky thing that always shows up like a bad penny? Well, here, it was a duck. Some $5 duck that I brought home one day long ago. I swear, the little shithead loves it. Anyway, it looks and smells like old crack whore underwear these days, so I've been on a mission to find a replacement. For weeks, I have looked in every store, to no avail. Finally, yesterday, I bought what I thought was close enough at the dollar store. Came home, presented it to the mutt with a big, happy ceremony, and proudly walked away. What does he wake me up with at 3 AM last night? Shaking it in my face, no less? Some stuffed rat toy that I haven't seen in 6 months. I forgot that this thing even existed. A special Moron mailed him this thing as a gift last year, and he apparently buried it somewhere - only to go get it when the favored duck went into the trashcan. The new duck? Still lying on the floor where I tossed it. Ignored like a bastard, red-headed stepchild... Posted by: The Chairman Of The Bored at December 14, 2015 02:27 AM (oLne9) 434

Posted by: Arbalest at December 14, 2015 03:42 AM (FlRtG) Are you talking a plasma cutter or laser cutter? The industry standard 40W CO2 benchtop laser cutter is an Epilog.....runs about $12K. If you look into the competition, you find that Full Spectrum Laser in Las Vegas, NV, has a 40W unit for about $4,000. Then you look into the corporate history of Full Spectrum and discover that their initial business model was to get cheap Chinese laser units in and upgrade them to something that First World Companies might consider a product. The upshot being, I now own a cheap Chinese 40W cutting laser that won't even shut-off if I open the access hatch, doesn't deal with thermal overload gracefully, has a manual translated from Chinese by amateurs, and runs off a controller that people love to hate.....but.......was only $600. I can shove a lot of arduinos in the gap between $600 and $4000. Posted by: cthulhu at December 14, 2015 04:18 AM (EzgxV) Posted by: cthulhu at December 14, 2015 04:19 AM (EzgxV) 461

Barky and I are shocked at the rampant gun purchases. We got the bad news when Barky's security team tried to buy 1.2 million rounds of five fifty-six rounds and a huge number of fully auto lower M16 receivers. All clingers are endangering Barky and his security team. America is mucked but DC is a great place to get rich. Good day.

By operatives I hope you mean Billarly ballot box stuffers and IRS agents who will review all Republican Tax Returns. Barky and I am all for that.

Hope in one hand. Poop in the other. The PFLPFT(O)M only aim is to reclaim wealth that is unearned by the one percenters. dee cee and the six surronding counties has more of those than any other area in the Country. Once The PFLPFT(O)M has reduced that area to a poverty level unseen since Dustbowl, Oklahoma we have plans for silly con valley. Posted by: Eks Cdr.

Trial goes into closing arguments, instructions, and then deliberations.
We could see a verdict as early as Wednesday, almost certainly by Friday. Rumor is that the State did not really make a strong case to support the charges against the Officer. I would suspect that all serving Members of the Maryland National Guard are on standby. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at December 14, 2015 06:22 AM (ptqRm) 476

Standby to do what? Make sure no one interferes with looting and arson? Just my dark side showing but there is precedent. Posted by: Tim in Illinios Old and Unimproved but reduced in Price. at December 14, 2015 06:26 AM (WVsWD) 477
Wonder if there will be agitation in the streets over a amateur pharmaceutical salesman trying to become an insta-millionair by committing suicide?
Welcome to Monday Daywalkers, so far here it's been windy with broken overcast. Just enough to screw up the meteor showers. The wind is really howling and the few leaves that were left on the trees are very gone and possibly in someone's yard a county or so over.

Isn't Maryland the province where they want to make everyone automatically registered to vote? Wonder what would happen if you had to register to riot.

4K video playback is not a slamdunk yet but it's getting there. Tonight has been very educational in running tests on several players on a current gen PC using the native IGA. Fat files deliver better results as they depend on the bandwidth of the overall system rather than the decoder performance smaller files of the same content require.
