Overnight Open Thread (6-22-2016) - Behold teh Stoopid Edition
"It's getting harder for business people like me to be successful, but if they [the victims] follow the rules it would be very hard for me to be successful. That's one of the surprises. My friends and I thought we would not be successful for so long, especially with how Craigslist is different now. But there is always someone looking to sell something who doesn't know the game."
-- from an interview with a professional Craigslist scammer
The Competition to Say The Stupidest Possible Thing Has Been Unusually Fierce Today
Her follow-ups are priceless as well.
And then you had this 'expert':
Honorable Mention: Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) - The Constitution Was Designed to Increase Government Power
On Another Day This Would Have Been a Contender: Loretta Lynch: Our Most Effective Response to Terror is Compassion and Love
Also Oops: Loretta Lynch: We Have No Idea Where Omar Mateen's Wife Is
Daniel Hannan: Why You Should Fire Me From My Phoney Baloney EU Job
Now this is how you do rhetoric. Churchill would approve.
Why Terrorists Target Gun-Free Zones
Because they're terrorists - not idiots.
Just a couple of months ago, a young ISIS sympathizer planned a shooting at one of the largest churches in Detroit. An FBI wire recorded him explaining why he had picked the church as a target: "It's easy, and a lot of people go there. Plus people are not allowed to carry guns in church. Plus it would make the news."
Damage control. Also squirrel!
The possibility that terrorist attacks might shift the electoral terrain in Donald Trump's favor has been one of Democrats' biggest worries since he emerged as the presumptive nominee....More broadly, both experimental and real-world studies have tended to show that in the US and abroad, the major party with a more hawkish reputation usually benefits when international terror becomes a major concern.
...In that context, focusing the political argument on gun regulation rather than Omar Mateen's admiration for ISIS or questions around Muslim immigration to the United States is a strategic win. Democrats may not win many votes with thin gruel, poll-tested gun control proposals, but they aren't going to lose any.

They Killed Juma the Jaguar!!!!
Shooting the official mascot of the 2016 Rio Olympics is just ominous sign #63 for those counting. Meanwhile there are reports that the Olympic Committee is quietly scouting previous Olympic sites as an alternate location in case Rio completely implodes. But then this is largely their own damn fault:
The Olympic Committee seems to be very interested in "diversity" these days and is pushing the idea of holding the games in a variety of places which are more than a little dodgy in terms of their humanitarian record or simply unable to pull of something of this magnitude. That wins them plenty of plaudits from human rights workers around the globe, but it doesn't do much for the reputation of the games themselves if people are refusing to attend, dropping dead from disease or showing up to stadiums with no seats or lights in them.

Then to really fuck with them, another vote requiring all secondary schools which accept any federal funding a requirement to provide a gun safety course with hands on safety instruction delivered by a certified NRA professional.
Then if I were still pissed; pass a law stating no federal agency or individual drawing compensation from the public coffers may refer to any weapon as an assault rifle or assault weapon unless it meets the following salient features: select fire with moderate rate automatic and/or burst capability, mid-range cartridge greater in power than a .357 but less than 30-06, and OAL greater than 16in.

"Children's church", which is kids 5th grade and down, has at least 3 people armed every sunday morning. Cop, his wife, and the very nice young lady who is the director all have their carry permits and all carry.
We had an incident a couple weeks ago where a women interrupted the service. Basically just trying to draw attention to herself. Had someone there with her videoing. One of the parents was unnerved by the whole thing and immediately went to check on the kids....that building was already locked down.

I work at a church and you can't open carry there, but concealed is another story.
Asked my boss one day (a retired cop) how many people on a given Sunday are carrying. He thought about it and said something like "oh, probably at least a hundred at each service, maybe more."
So yeah, bring it goatfuckers.

"Children's church", which is kids 5th grade and down, has at least 3
people armed every sunday morning. Cop, his wife, and the very nice
young lady who is the director all have their carry permits and all
carry.
We had an incident a couple weeks ago where a women interrupted the
service. Basically just trying to draw attention to herself. Had someone
there with her videoing. One of the parents was unnerved by the whole
thing and immediately went to check on the kids....that building was
already locked down.

Then to really fuck with them, another vote requiring all secondary
schools which accept any federal funding a requirement to provide a gun
safety course with hands on safety instruction delivered by a certified
NRA professional.
Then if I were still pissed; pass a law stating no federal agency or
individual drawing compensation from the public coffers may refer to
any weapon as an assault rifle or assault weapon unless it meets the
following salient features: select fire with moderate rate automatic
and/or burst capability, mid-range cartridge greater in power than a

Now that you mention it...
Am surprised how many CD albums appear to have never been remastered since they were originally released in the format, roughly between 1985 and 1994.
I haven't been going nuts, but whenever I can find an album I want in a *reasonably-priced* Japanese CD pressing, I've been going with those. (I.e. if it's $8 for the American and $16 for the Japanese, I go for it, but if it's $12 for the American and $60 for the Japanese, I go with the American.)
Anybody else here know something about this? Was reading elsewhere today, the general consensus is that Japanese CDs are better mastered/manufactured, and that they still do quality control whereas American CD pressers don't.

Speech by Martin Luther King, Jr. against the "triple evils of racism, economic exploitation, and militarism."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b80Bsw0UG-U
"King had been a solid supporter of President Lyndon B. Johnson and his
Great Society, but he became increasingly concerned about U.S.
involvement in Vietnam and, as his concerns became more public, his
relationship with the Johnson administration deteriorated. King came to
view U.S. intervention in Southeast Asia as little more than
imperialism."
http://tinyurl.com/hx927fh
"In his 1958 memoir, he reported that although he rejected communism's
central tenets, he was sympathetic to Marx's critique of capitalism,
finding the "gulf between superfluous wealth and abject poverty" that
existed in the United States morally wrong (Stride, 94).
Writing his future wife, Coretta Scott, during the first summer of their
relationship, he told her that he was "more socialistic in my economic
theory than capitalistic. And yet I am not so opposed to capitalism
that I have failed to see its relative merits'"

"Throughout history, poverty is the normal
condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded -- here
and there, now and then -- are the work of an extremely small minority,
frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all
right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from
creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the
people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck."

Speech by Martin Luther King, Jr. against the "triple evils of racism, economic exploitation, and militarism."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b80Bsw0UG-U
"King had been a solid supporter of President Lyndon B. Johnson and his
Great Society, but he became increasingly concerned about U.S.
involvement in Vietnam and, as his concerns became more public, his
relationship with the Johnson administration deteriorated. King came to
view U.S. intervention in Southeast Asia as little more than
imperialism."
http://tinyurl.com/hx927fh
"In his 1958 memoir, he reported that although he rejected communism's
central tenets, he was sympathetic to Marx's critique of capitalism,
finding the "gulf between superfluous wealth and abject poverty" that
existed in the United States morally wrong (Stride, 94).
Writing his future wife, Coretta Scott, during the first summer of their
relationship, he told her that he was "more socialistic in my economic
theory than capitalistic. And yet I am not so opposed to capitalism
that I have failed to see its relative merits'"

Now that you mention it...
Am surprised how many CD albums appear to have never been remastered since they were originally released in the format, roughly between 1985 and 1994.
I haven't been going nuts, but whenever I can find an album I want in a *reasonably-priced* Japanese CD pressing, I've been going with those. (I.e. if it's $8 for the American and $16 for the Japanese, I go for it, but if it's $12 for the American and $60 for the Japanese, I go with the American.)
Anybody else here know something about this? Was reading elsewhere today, the general consensus is that Japanese CDs are better mastered/manufactured, and that they still do quality control whereas American CD pressers don't.
Posted by: qdpsteve at June 23, 2016 12:35 AM (q7T0y)
All done the same. Sony guts.
One thing that happened in the late 70's and well into the 80's that the record companies didn't always save THE Master master recording leaving them with some less than impressive sounding masters. What may have happened is that the Japanese saved their original masters that they produced the original vinyl albums from.
Also, a lot of the artists sold the rights to those recordings and no longer receive royalties, but if they rerecord the album, they get the royalties from the new recording. It may also work that way with the Japanese recordings.

In another life, I did accident reconstruction/failure analysis. Generally our clients were insurance companies or lawyers, usually a combination.
In one case, this guy had a contract with a school system to keep their fire extinguishers charged. Some of them were simple pressurized water extinguishers.
The fellow used a bottle of dry nitrogen for that purpose. The problem was that the charging cylinder had no regulator, and he charged the bottles by bumping the Schrader valve with a tire chuck attached to the cylinder with a hose. The cylinder, when full, ran around 2000 psi.
Well, okay, except that the tire chuck had been dropped on concrete floors so often that it was beaten and dented. One day he shoved the chuck on a valve and couldn't get it off. The SS extinguisher explosively opened up like a blooming flower with big razor blade petals.

2000 psi (which is typical for gas cylinders like that, O2, etc, etc) is way over the working pressure of the compressed air equipment. I mean way over. It boggle my mind to think of a tire chuck with 2000psi behind it.
IIRC, the crap I use has a max working pressure of about 350psi or something like that. Burst pressure will usually be 4x or so working pressure. So, you'd figure 1000psi was getting into the danger zone.
Now, there's margin built in, the burst pressure is just what it is certified for, guaranteed not to burst against (when in working order).
So, stupid to begin with.

Heh. I have two of those puppies, and filled and pressurized both of them today, because I was planning to use the cutting torch out on the grass, and wanted to have a means of extinguishing a fire, should one start. Reading the label on the newer of the two, it says clearly: "pressurize with air to 125 PSI, shake to dissolve pressurized air, and repressure to 125 PSI. Tested to 500 PSI." I have never bothered with the shaking part, and have had no problems emptying the extinguishers when needed.
They are the perfect choice for a home shop, because, cheap, self-refillable, and leave no nasty residue.

Yep. Back in the early 90's the radio station I was working for was trying to get a bunch of the "MTV" music from the early to mid 80's, and the record companies didn't have it. Not even new albums, not cd's, and not even a reel to reel copy. They just didn't have it.
A lot of the compilation albums that came out in the mid to late 90's featuring those songs were made from virgin copies of vinyl albums that collectors had.

Anyway, that just wasn't enough for my 3/4" impact wrench when it really needed some CFM. So I rigged a 3/4" air hose using some larger couplers, 1/2" I think.
The difference between that size and the smaller ones is such that I cannot push it in under pressure! I have to depressurize the thing to connect it.
I was wondering if it was the arthritis getting in my hands making them weak as a little girl, but no one else can do it either.
And that's with my system cutting off at 125psi or so.
One of these days I'm going to spring and get me a two stage. I've been saying that for over 20 years. I've got three phase out in the shop, and I could really go wild with a compressor. I almost did, used one at a real shop a few years ago, but didn't drop the dough.

Craigslist is weird. The owner has this thing about "dealing local", and makes it hard to do a global search on his site. Well, impossible, unless you use a third-party service, which he hates. But for collectors, or people simply searching for a hard-to-find item, a global search makes eminent sense.
I bought a Diesel Suburban off a Craigslist seller in Portland, Oregon. Contacted a friend in the Portland area, got a recommend for a GM mechanic, hired that guy to check out the vehicle. Based on his OK, I sent the seller a thousand dollars as down payment, and went there a week later with the balance of cash, and did the deal in a bar on the Columbia River waterfront. Everybody was happy, and that truck lasted me 10 years.

You feed the spring in, wind up all the way, then get the cord hooked it. That then pulls the cord back in. Works slick when you know the trick.

Actually, the grass never caught fire, although much red-hot slag fell into it. Rain in the last day.
Recoil springs? It depends on what kind. Some have a notch on the inboard face of the rope pulley; so you take off the pull handle, fish the cord out of the guide, and get it in the notch. Wind up the spring with the cord in the notch. Then clamp the pulley with a pair of spring clamps (aka "skin clamps" from the aircraft industry), and fish the cord back through the guide, and reattach the handle.
Others, it's best to pull the cord all the way out, undo the knot at the pulley end, and remove cord entirely. Wind up the spring, position anchor hole in pulley in-line with cord guide, and fish the cord back in. Rather than try to "push on a string" it may be easier to run a piece of tag wire (as used on manila shipping tags) through the anchor hole in the pulley, and out the guide, then pierce it through the end of the pull cord, and drag the cord through the anchor hole, and knot it.
Recommend you use new cord. Nylon. Heat seal the ends to keep them from frizzing by using a lighter or match, then grab the melted end with a thick rag to form a point. Careful! The molten nylon loves to stick to your skin, just like Napalm. Use a small knot on the pulley end. A "figure eight" knot works great on the handle end.

They have a political forum called "Off Topic" - you have to be a member to get to see it.
The sheer stupidity of rich white women (mostly w/o kids) is physically painful. I get in abortion arguments (the majority view over there? A fetus is just protoplasm, and just as disposable) regularly. A couple of nights ago, I used what I learned here (THANKS ACE) to bat down the gun grabbers over there. On a "Hillary ROX" thread, one fellow traveler pointed out that Hillary is a liar and a crook; the Hill Girlz recoiled in horror, saying fellow traveler couldn't possibly have evidence of this. I pointed out that Hillary is a documented thief (see: White House furnishings, circa 1990) which the Hill Girlz had apparently NEVER HEARD.
There is actually a thread right now about how much all these wimmins luv Elizabeth Warren, and how much economic sense she makes.
I threw a hand grenade - "How do you think you are going to be able to afford your horses when she raises your tax rate to 70%?" (you stupid scrunts, although i left that part out) and left for the relatively normalcy of AOS.

H.G. Wells was a hard-core Socialist and a fair number of big names outside the US leaned the same way. So it wouldn't be over the top for a knowledgeable FBI guy to wonder about the American contingent. A lot of those guys would have attracted raised eyebrows as well, with even Heinlein having a brief flirtation in his youth.
I've seen first hand some of the old CPUSA pamphlets Jerry Pournelle kept from his brief time as a newly returned Korean War veteran in the 50s. It was well less than a year but it potentially could have caused Jerry a lot of trouble in his aerospace career.

Drop that to 200psi, and it's about 10 lbs, 5 lbs against 100psi. So that's about how much finger pushing you have to do with those 1/4" quick couplers. Double that to 1/2", and it's 4x that, 40lbs and 20lbs.
Now add the tightness of a new coupler, and I can see why my fingers don't do so good pushing it in the big 'uns.

Simple solution? Mount a valve block in your air hose, maybe 8 feet back from the coupler. Quarter-turn ball valve to close the line to the compressor, plus a Schrader valve on downstream side to bleed off pressure on the coupler so you can change air tools easily.

My set-up is sort of screwy anyway, I've got two 3HP (true motor HP rating, not the stupid inflated shit they claim) single stages running in parallel. I thought about rigging a common pressure switch system to turn them both on, but it turns out I could get them set to come on nearly the same time.
You'll never get two pressure switches to get exactly together, but it's close enough. Anything using enough flow will get them both running around the same time. Slow truck tires at 90psi or so, now that's a different story, but it doesn't matter.
One just wasn't enough CFM for some of the tools, like the air grinder and the cut-off tool. They suck air big time. And that big 3/4" impact wrench, now it's pressure drop with it's flow that was the problem.
The pressure drop on the little cut-off tools isn't a problem, they run fine to do the job.

I have an Ingersoll-Rand two-stage 5 HP compressor here, and it will run a small pressure-pot sandblaster. Has never given me trouble. I got it from a body shop owner who had it in his home shop on an acreage he was selling. It was a great deal at the time, and 12 years on, it's still giving me great service. I don't have 3-phase power here, so anything bigger is out of the question.

Also can't recall whether I read about the whole thing in the Goebbels biography (Longerrich) or "The German War" (Stargardt).
In any case, when things were going swimmingly (up to winter 41/42), the program was a national sensation and probably reflected the broad support the war had.
But time to re-join the subs in the Pacific (Silent Victory) - it's now mid-44, the torpedoes are (mostly) working, there are lots of new boats, and the Japanese war effort is starting to feel the pinch of the attacks on the merchant fleet. Strategy is still mediocre, and only Academy grads are being given command, but the outlines of the future blow-out against Japan are clear.

Tain't nuttin. I almost got, a few years ago, a used 15HP unit. It was well worn in, with real heavy use in a real shop, but it would've been fine and lasted a long time for my use.
I think it had a 120 gal. tank. Ingersoll-Rand. Now, I've been seriously considering, before, blowing money on a 10HP or 7.5HP two-stage unit. I'm kicking myself for not going ahead and getting that 15HP used one now that I'm thinking about it.
And that taint nuttin either. When I was a young buck in college, in the summers I got a job with an electrician. That's what peels my banana, always had, and that first summer, I remember I got a taste of what some real eee-lectric shit was. Not this pansy-ass residential shit, but some real industrial electrical equipment and motors.
125HP compressors. 5000A 480V services. I remember standing in front of a 5000A service, looking at the massive, cabinet sized main breaker, feeding a switchboard and getting a raging hard-on. Yep, I almost jacked off in front of it.
And the hum, my God. Later, when I got to see some high voltage shit and actually work with it a little, I was, well, in heaven.

I found a couple youtube vids that are really close to this assembly, but not exact.
I know I have some 550 cord around here, but can't find/ don't feel like looking at this hour.
I need a new primer bulb anyway, so I may see if the shop around the corner will hook me up cheap tomorrow, and just have them do it?
As to the "good" Ford oilburner, my experience is limited to the old 7.3 idi. That thing is bulletproof, as long as cavitation worries are eliminated - easy NAPA bypass coolant filter should handle that...
Posted by: Chi at June 23, 2016 02:36 AM (yLZki)
Great minds think alike. That's exactly what I've done for the end of the big 3/4" hose. I put a little 3/8" whip hose, about 1', on the end of the big impact wrench with 1/4" couplers. I just made a 1/2" to 1/4" coupler adapter.
It works fine. That short a length doesn't give any trouble. So, when I need it, I get the big hose hooked up and pressurized and then can use the 1/4" end.
I really just need it for the 3/4" impact when I have to break something really big. The pressure drop just killed the max torque of the thing, making it not much better than a 1/2" impact.

Alcohol "enhanced" fuel seems to be death on primer bulbs. Yeah, the 7.3 Powerstroke was a good motor. I guess, according to my buddy at the Ford dealership in Saskatchewan, the 6.0 with the aforementioned modifications is darn good, too. he said, once that stuff was done, never a come-back. But the truck in question also has rust in the body, and it's in Bella Coola, which is not the end of the Earth, but you can see it from there.

You know, that's a good thought. I was trying last month to bust some big wheel nuts with a 3/4 air impact, and had no luck. Using a long 3/8" air hose. I'm going to buy a nice long half-inch air hose, next time it comes on sale.
That, or rig my carry-air tank to do service as an accumulator. Tote the carry-air tank to the work site; run regular 3/8" air hose from compressor to carry-air tank; run short 3/4" hose from carry-air tank to big air-impact. And that would not impede the use of the carry-air tank for its original purpose. Just some added fittings.

I did a few mods, including hot injectors, turning the stanadyne injection pump up, homebrew cold air feed, and true dual exhaust. I cut the the y-pipe and had 3" straight pipes routed to dump just in front of each rear wheel. Yes, she would roll some coal if I wanted to.

That reminds me of a tire man, little wiry dude. Long dead now. We called him out for a big rear tractor tire that was flat in the field. Water ballast. Big mess.
That little guy, with a flunkie to help, came bouncing across the field in his service truck. Big gas powered compressor on the back. Air jack (well, hydraulic, but the air does the jacking).
He flew in there, jacked that thing up in no time, but pumped the water out in no time before. Then, he broke the tire down still mounted. Did it with a tire hammer. One blow and that bead moved. Dude knew what the hell he was doing.
There was no helping him, you just got out of his way, otherwise you'd hinder him. That tire was patched and operational in no time.
A neighbor had a flat on a loaded truck, inside rear dual in a busy part of town. He called that dude himself (and spent the money, which was how desperate he was).
I remember him saying, "Shit, that guy is good, and fast". Again, he flew in there and had that loaded truck jacked up, got a 1" impact running off that massive gas powered compressor and had that tire off and on the ground in no time.
He hit the bead with his hammer. One blow and it was broken down. Flipped it over, broke that bead, then popped the ring off like it was nothing. Patched it, reassembled the tire in a blur and had him going. 20 minutes total, he said.
Now, I, my father, and that neighbor and everybody else has fooled with big tractor and truck tires, wearing ourselves out just trying to break them down.
He knew how to use the tire hammer. Apply force at just the right spot, and with the right, well, finesse. When he would swing, the little dude would jump off the ground and come down with a grunt, "Huhhhhnnn!" And the bead would move like it was nothing.
He knew what the hell he doeth. It was a beautiful thing to watch. He made it look like child's play. But it wasn't. That was skill.

No, No time left. She's a Standard Poodle, age fourteen and a half. That's ancient for a bigger purebred.
She's tired, weak, incontinent and in pain. Meds aren't working. She has no quality of life left. Does not want to be petted or fussed over. Just wants to be left alone.
Scrubbing floors and washing rugs has been a daily chore for a month now. I'm tired, too.
It would be a relief if only it didn't hurt so much.

Some dogs do die in their sleep and I was hoping for that butt it's not happening and I can't stand to see Sasha in pain. She fell down an entire flight of steps on Tuesday. I blocked the stairs off and she's miserable. She wants to go upstairs because she's sure mr. creeper is somewhere up there.
In the space of a year I've lost a cat, a dog, a husband and most of my inheritance. Surely it gets better?

Good Morning Morons. Today is Thursday, June 23, 2016. On this day in 1947 the Senate followed the House in overriding Harry Truman's veto of the Taft-Hartley Act. The Taft-Hartly Act was written to roll back a lot of the power of the unions that they had gained under FDR and the hero Truman did not want to see that go.

You are so brave and strong if this is the hand that you have had to dealt to you in the course of a year and you're still standing. Any one of those single losses would be hard enough to get through, but that many? Most people would wither. My prayers are with you as you let Sasha go.
I'll go get some Kleenex for me and Tim and you now and anyone else who needs it.

I guess that is somewhat better. They will not do that here. I used to take mine out to the back yard near the woods to bury and after watching them die. But I just can't do that anymore.

Please send us a pic to the pet thread of Sasha if you have one, and we will memorialize your dog at some point. If you don't have a pic, send us a story about her and we can mention that at the very least.
If you can show up on Saturday, posted around 12-12:30 EST usually, everyone will be super nice and console you. We are getting at least one or two pet losses each week. It's petmorons at the gee male dot com.

The hardest part is knowing when to give up. So many questions run through your mind. Is she hurting? Am I doing this for her or for me? Is there something else I could do?

My sister, who is a US Park Ranger on the National Mall, had to go in to work super early yesterday to help bust up an illegal exercise club. Ha ha! Apparently this has been going on for over two years, all organized through social media and without a permit. They've never been able to pin down the ringleader (the first rule of exercise club is nobody talks about exercise club), but yesterday they gave GMA permission to film them running up the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. USPS made it clear to GMA that they could not film around the Lincoln Memorial, they did anyway and got busted and then rolled over on the leader of the exercise club, who came into Park Service offices for a very tense meeting and left crying.
Honestly, you just can't make this stuff up!

We had a female calico cat that I had found at a rest stop between Richmond, VA and Wilmington, DE when traveling to court Mrs. Krebs. When her last day came, I slept on the floor in our sun room with her prior to the vet coming. I think she appreciated the gesture and went out happier for having spent time with the person who had found her.

Nothing says the House has to meet on Capitol Hill. Rent a large hall nearby and start doing House business with the Republicans. Once the Dems start running to that location, lock them out long enough to adjourn, and head back to Capitol Hill.

That was a completely gratuitous act of agit-prop street theater to stir up opposition to the Shutdown by denying some old WW2 vets access to a sidewalk. The Park Service had to go out of their way to deny service to these vets while in political service to the Communist-in-Chief.
Disgusting.
