Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (6/28/17) The Third Monday of The Week Edition
Quote I
The trend of opinion among eugenists is that we must make marriage more difficult. Certainly no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny. Nikola Tesla
Quote II
If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of payments. Steven Wright
Quote III
I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever. Thomas Jefferson
Quote IV
Why has the Democratic Party become so arrogantly detached from ordinary Americans? Though they claim to speak for the poor and dispossessed, Democrats have increasingly become the party of an upper-middle-class professional elite, top-heavy with journalists, academics and lawyers. Camille Paglia
Guess what will be 200 years old? No, not your Grandmother's fruit cake. The Erie Canal.
But next Tuesday will also mark another anniversary of surpassing historical importance to this country. For it was on July 4th, 1817, 200 years ago, that the first shovelful of dirt was dug and the construction of the Erie Canal began. Finished eight years later (ahead of schedule and under budget) it united the east coast with the fast-growing trans-Appalachian west.A certain former U.S. President would say something to that effect you didn't build that. Or we are not an exceptional country. The ONT says "F" off.
The Democrats have been losing elections steadily since 2008. Liberals still don't need to win elections to get what they want.
Nevertheless, as the recent war on President Trump and the more distant -- but certainly recent enough -- debate on marriage reveal, U.S. liberals don’t necessarily need to win elections to further their leftist agenda. In fact, as most any sentient political observer of the American scene is aware, arguably the sturdiest plank of the Democratic platform -- abortion -- became legal in America, not because of what occurred at the ballot box, but because of the tragically foolish decision of seven unelected justices of the U.S. Supreme Court. As the block (now lifted) on the so-called “travel ban,” the seemingly never-ending Trump-Russia collusion farce, and the Trump obstruction-of-justice myth prove, if the electorate won’t cooperate, the American left well knows that it can almost always rely on the cooperation of the courts and the mainstream media.
The Pelosi factor has been a drag on Democrats in all four of the special elections the party has lost since Trump’s November triumph. Prediction: Democrats will not go into the 2018 Congressional elections with San Fran Nan as the party’s face and future. No way. As President Kennedy said, “Sometimes party loyalty asks too much.”
In one of histories great ironies, the English speaking world went to war with fascism and defeated them on the battlefield, but ended up adopting most of the fascists socio-economic polices. Similarly the US government went to war with the mob, but is now embracing the same ethos as those long vanquished gangsters. Maybe like the oxpecker, the tiny bird that lives off rhinos, human society will always have a quasi-criminal class that lives off the people at the pleasure of the people in charge.
Sarah Palin is in the news again. Palin suing the NY Times in Federal Court.
The lawsuit has to do with an editorial the NYT ran on June 14 that falsely smeared Palin as inciting the 2011 shooting of Democratic Rep. Gabby Giffords by a mentally ill man. There is no evidence to support the NYT’s implication that Palin played a role in inciting the Giffords shooting.
The ONT hope she wins and wins big.
China. Green energy. Chinese province runs on green energy for 7 days.
And it seems they did just that. For seven continuous days, over 5 million citizens living in the Qinghai Province in northwest China survived on 100 percent renewable energy, according to the State-run Xinhua News Agency.
The ONT is skeptical, "State-run news" if they are anything like
Bernie Sanders, not happy to be in this spot light.
Windows 10? Keep it clean. Not content to leave well enough alone Bill Gates is out to screw up hamburgers.

June 28, 1975, The Eagles started a five-week run at No.1 on the US album chart with their fourth studio album 'One Of These Nights'. The album which became their breakthrough album released three US Top 10 singles, 'Lyin' Eyes', (which won a Grammy), 'Take It To The Limit' and the title track. via thisdayinmusic.com
June 28, 1997, The Pink Floyd album The Dark Side of The Moon spent its 1056th week on the US album chart. It was rumoured at the time that if the album was played while watching The Wizard of Oz movie, and started exactly when the MGM lion roared the third time during the movie's intro, very interesting connections could be made between the two. via thisdayinmusic.com
The next time someone from the Left says there is no such thing as voter fraud. Introduce them to Andrew J. Spieles of Harrisonburg, Virginia.
A student at James Madison University who was working for a political organization affiliated with the Democratic party was sentenced to go to prison for at least 100 days after he pleaded guilty to registering dead people to vote. Andrew J. Spieles of Harrisonburg, Virginia entered his plea on Monday in federal court. He had been working for the group Harrisonburg Votes last summer. A U.S. Attorney’s Office spokesperson said, “In July 2016 Spieles’ job was to register as many voters as possible and reported to Democratic Campaign headquarters in Harrisonburg.”

The ONT enjoys Mark Steyn. Cutting and funny as hell, Steyn comments on PM Trudeau of Canada.
When I first heard that Justin Trudeau had marched in the Toronto Pride Parade wearing Ramadan socks, my first reaction was that that was a bit under-dressed even for him. My mistake. It turns out the Prime Minister wasn't wearing just his Ramadan socks but also shirt and trousers. Which, on reflection, is a bit boringly overdressed. Perhaps for next year's parade he could wear a niqab with cutaway buttocks and a crescent tramp stamp. Just trying to be inclusive here.
C'mon and share. Even if it is for PBJ, Dildo doesn't make everything.

There are no words.
When I was watching "The Long Ships", which is just a fun adventure flick about a bunch of Vikings (a murder of Vikings?) pressed into service by a Moorish prince to help him find a huge golden bell, I was thinking how nice it was when, pre globalism, movies were made to appeal to your standard Western filmgoer and you didn't have to worry about twitterstorms erupting from easily offended types.

See the Daily Caller, Politco writer Anna Palmer made a drunken she-ass of herself at the Four Seasons Hotel. She was drunk off her ass, and noticed some Tumpsters, including a Breitbart editor and some others.
She stumbled over to their table and launched into a drunken, slurring, unintelligible rant at them.
One of her friends tried to make a "they started it" case for her.

"The Bill Gates-backed vegetarian burger is coming to a national fast food chain."
It will launch in eight of BurgerFi's 101 locations — Malibu, New York City, Poughkeepsie, NY; Philadelphia; Coral Springs, Florida; Coral Gables, Florida; and two stores in Delray Beach, Florida — according to The New York Times.

qdp = quality desktop publishing. At-home business I tried to start up a million years ago (1994).
This was before I knew about domain names. My idea was that all my employees, if I ever had any, would via email all be "qdpsomething." qdpjim, qdpsara, etc etc.
The business never took off, but I've since found that the moniker "qdp":
- can stand for a lot of things;
- is pretty unique, and I like being known online as qdpsteve;
AND, if you draw q, d, p, just like that, on a sheet of paper, it almost looks like a face, without the eyes and smile. :-)

We assume they are just trying to shoehorn blacks or other minorities into movies. However, I think they are actually that bog stupid about history and mired in their own tropes.
Blacks have always been used by the white man to die for the white man's causes, ergo they MUST have been there.

It's Congress' job to protect and defend the Constitution ... and that means that Congress is duty-bound to impeach and unceremoniously throw off the bench federal judges who try to make a mockery of the Constitution or America.
Lifetime appointments must carry with them the strictest obligations and those who violate these even a bit must be immediately removed from the bench. This is what has been missing in our system and this is why the judiciary thinks that it has total power to do any damn thing it likes. It's about time to start pulling the choke collars on these America-hating retard judges and justices.

I was thinking more about directly un-Constitutional decisions but I agree with you that a certain number of reversals ought to spell the definite end of a judge's career.

Also, I, not Tami, bought a digital camera from a long haired guy who I let pat my back and it wasn't all that bad. The ot in the back, I mean. Got the camera for a steal. He could have asked for triple what he listed it for and I would have paid it. He is one of these weirdos that keeps the owners manuals years after the purchase.

ZuckerBorg is making speeches -- some idiots opine he thinking about running for president. He proposed a guaranteed income for all Americans or something.
He also said, not in that speech, that he wants every human on the planet signed up on Facebook, or Buttbook, or whatever.
Both he and Bill Gates (and lot of similar types) can go get Emily Georgia'd. Good and hard.

If you're flying in an airplane at the speed of sound and you say something, what happens? :-)
There was a tall tale some used to pull. Some story about an airliner that under some conditions was just under Mach 1. Some little boy runs forward down the center aisle, thus breaking the sound barrier and causing a sonic boom inside the aircraft. Also, set his hair on fire, or something like that.

I say, 'Isn't it an amazing day?' She says, 'Yes it is, I guess.'
I say, 'What do you mean, you guess?' She said she had just come back from her analyst and he was still unable to help her.
I said, 'What's the problem?' She said, 'I can't tell you, I don't even know you!'
I said, 'Yeah, but sometimes it's good to tell your problems to an absolute stranger on a bus.'
She paused a minute, then said: 'I'm a nymphomaniac and I only get turned on by Jewish Cowboys. By the way, my name is Diane.'
I said, 'Hello, Diane, I'm Bucky Goldstein.'

Another good one: Airplane on treadmill.
If you haven't heard it, the "puzzle" goes like this. Imagine an airplane on a big treadmill, trying to take off. As the plane starts to thrust, you start running the treadmill backwards, trying to compensate for any forward speed it would develop.
What happens? Does it take off?

I sincerely cannot understand how this is a controversy. Groundspeed is irrelevant, airspeed is what matters to flight.
If the speeds are high enough landing and taking off are complicated, but prop->air->wings. Not wheels are not on that list.

So what? If there's no airflow over the wings there's no lift. Now, if the jet is pointed vertically that's a different story. No need for lift from the wings. But no one has invented a vertical treadmill yet so that puzzle isn't going anywhere.
The jet can be doing Mach 2 on the treadmill (and the treadmill doing mach 2 in the other direction, of course) and the plane isn't going to lift off anywhere because the airspeed over the wings is 0. But the minute you point the jet up a bit it will go ... but that isn't allowed since we're on a horizontal treadmill.

A step backward: Joyce has been diagnosed with cellulitis in her right axilla (armpit). This seems to be a fairly common skin infection; she's on antibiotics to clear it up.
Last Friday, our cousins drove up to visit with her, and on Monday morning her friend Jessica picked her up for an "adventure" at a local park, including horses and a golf cart ride.
And I spoke with her this morning; she sounded quite chipper, and asked for some more word puzzle books (Yay!).
Please pray that she continues on a path toward healing.
[To my fellow Hordelings, thank you all in advance for your prayers and well-wishes for my sister and our family.]

WHere does the thrust come from. It comes from the props or jets, pushing against the air.
The treadmill underneath has nothing to do with it. It's a red herring, which is the point of that little trap of a set up.
The only thing wheel friction will add is a little more total drag, resistance to foward motion, achieved by the thrust of the props or jets against the air.
Higher order effects, with a giant treadmill, would involve the treadmill dragging a little air along with it.
The plane takes off, easily.

Even if the plane is actually moving backward on the treadmill, the thrust will cause it to slow and then move forward, as if it were sitting still in the ground, just starting at a different speed.
Unless it is *attached* to the treadmill, if it can fly from the ground, it will fly from the treadmill.
Here's a tip: the ground is moving too.

Uh ... no.
You do understand that wind has to move over a WING to provide lift to the plane (excluding rockets that can lift unaerodynamic objects into the air - though that doesn't change anything in this question because those rockets are directed horizontally)?
The way you are answering your own question you seem to be claiming that wings are totally unnecessary (since you discount lift from the wings, entirely).
You have to go back and rethink this one. Imagine that wings are actually functional parts of the airplane ...

Not at all. Jet plane. What causes the thrust? The high velocity of hot gases coming out the nozzle of the engine. This pushes the plane forward.
The wheel do not transmit the thrust to get the plane moving, as would a car. A car, with wings, on a treadmill would be different.
The wheels on the airplane have nothing to do with transmitting the thrust to push the plane forward.
It will get to moving relative to the surrounding air, creating air flow over the wing. The wheels will just move much faster, with the treadmill underneath trying to moving backwards.

"I should certainly resist any effort to search for witches, for a perfectly simple reason, which is the key of the whole of this controversy. The reason is that it is one thing to believe in witches and quite another to believe in witch smellers. I have more respect for the Eugenists, who go about persecuting the fool of the family; because the witch-finders, according to their own conviction, ran a risk. Witches were not the feeble-minded, but the strong-minded --- the evil mesmerists, the rulers of the elements. Many a raid on a witch, right or wrong, seemed to the villagers who did it a righteous popular rising against a vast spiritual tyranny, a papacy of sin. Yet we know that the thing degenerated into a rabid and despicable persecution of the feeble or the old. It ended by being a war upon the weak. It ended by being what Eugenics begins by being."--G.K.

An airplane cannot take off from a runway which is moving backwards (like a treadmill) at a speed equal to its normal ground speed during takeoff.
BUSTED
First some small-scale tests were performed with a model airplane on a treadmill and the plane was able to take off. For the large-scale test, the MythBusters used a 400 pound ultralight aircraft with a 2000 foot tarp under it. The tarp was pulled backwards to simulate a moving runway. The ultralight pilot had no trouble taking off. This is because the thrust of the airplane engines acts on the air, not on the ground.

That's Mythbusters doing it, as best as can they can muster. The plane takes off, of course.
They put a plane on big tarp. Hooked it to a truck, and started pulling the thing backwards as the plane thrusted forward.
It's been done with small model airplanes, as well, to prove the point.

Not at all. Jet plane. What causes the thrust? The high velocity of hot gases coming out the nozzle of the engine. This pushes the plane forward.
The wheel do not transmit the thrust to get the plane moving, as would a car. A car, with wings, on a treadmill would be different.
The wheels on the airplane have nothing to do with transmitting the thrust to push the plane forward.
You really aren't trying to explain to me that airplanes aren't front wheel drive, are you?
It will get to moving relative to the surrounding air, creating air flow over the wing. The wheels will just move much faster, with the treadmill underneath trying to moving backwards.
Posted by: publius, the Persistent Poperin Pear at June 28, 2017 11:21 PM (8O3HH)
Uh ... NO! It isn't moving anywhere. The treadmill is moving backwards at the exact rate that the plane is being thrust forwards. The plane is not moving. I could be standing on the side with my hand on the wing - as per your setup with the treadmill. That is ZERO movement relative to the ground. Well, tell me what the windspeed is over the wings if the plane, itself, is moving at 0 mph relative to the ground. How far does the plane actually advance, relative to the ground (which is exactly the same as the surrounding air, with no wind)?

An idealized treadmill has no resistance to traction - it has no resistance to horizontal force. Brakes in aircraft are useful at low speed to counter crosswind and slowing down on landing.
Therefore, a treadmill would be like landing on ice.
It does not 'help' but conversely, does not harm.

This is likely the story that she was on a secret mission for the Navy to gather intel on what the Japanese were doing in the island areas they controlled and got forced down, captured and executed as a spy. Bad publicity.
There was a books about it way back when and Ian Matthews did an album which had a couple of songs about the story.

First some small-scale tests were performed with a model airplane on a treadmill and the plane was able to take off. For the large-scale test, the MythBusters used a 400 pound ultralight aircraft with a 2000 foot tarp under it. The tarp was pulled backwards to simulate a moving runway. The ultralight pilot had no trouble taking off. This is because the thrust of the airplane engines acts on the air, not on the ground.

Because we already know that.
We also know that a plane on wheels will accelerate very similarly (almost identically) on the ground and on a moving treadmill (barring inane things like a treadmill at the speed of light).
Because it thrusts against the air, not the ground.
As it accelerates *against the air*, it gains airspeed, and eventually sufficient lift.
Wheel rpm is irrelevant (at the speeds we're discussing).
Unless you spin the treadmill so fast the wheels explode, the plane easily rolls forward to achieve flight speed.
Because the wheel rpm doesn't matter (within their engineering limits).
Let me try it this way: If the plane is applying forward thrust sufficient for takeoff, you can't apply enough force to the *plane* through rotating the tires to keep it from taking off.

That's true. It's the ma "pushing", but for continuous throwing off of mass, you get the famous rocket thrust equation:
F (thrust) = v * dM/dt,
where v is the exhaust velocity and dM/dt is the rate you're throwing off mass out of the ass end.
So, that's where you think of velocity, which is the terminal velocity of the exhaust, after it has been accelerated.

Yeah, the treadmill is the issue, really. But that was the basis of the hypothetical so we were all nice enough to assume its existence and proper operation.
I think the basis of publius' argument is that there is no such treadmill - though he won't come out and say that. His thing with the frictionless wheels was to promote the idea that you just could not move the plane ANYWHERE by moving the treadmill - even with no thrust moving a treadmill under such a plane wouldn't move it at all, hence the theoretical treadmill was just a ruse that we were not supposed to accept from the beginning. I'm not a big fan of things like that. When one proposes something as unlikely as a 100 yard airplane treadmill, having to declare the amazingly unlikely thing impossible (and thereby making the whole question of no use, at all) is just not very ... fun.

where v is the exhaust velocity and dM/dt is the rate you're throwing off mass out of the ass end.
So, that's where you think of velocity, which is the terminal velocity of the exhaust, after it has been accelerated.
Posted by: publius
---------
You're ignoring the initial velocity and mass of the incoming air. Both critical.
In essence, the thrust will be the product of the velocity and mass of the exhaust gas, less the product of the velocity and mass of the incoming gas. It is that difference in velocity that is acceleration.

This thing goes way back. I remember it back in college, late '80s, and it goes back before that.
Imagine the big treadmill, and you start moving it before you fire up the plane's engine. You start dragging it backwards.
The plane will still take off. It may take it longer, but it will take off. Because it is pushing against the air, not the ground.
The whole point is to make you think what is important *relative* to what. What reference frames are "governing" and all that.
Posted by: publius, the Persistent Poperin Pear at June 28, 2017 11:59 PM (8O3HH)
This presumes the treadmill has something to do with the planes motion. It does not. The plane is freewheeling. Except for the possibility of a little extra friction from the movement of the treadmill it will have no affect on the forward motion of the plane.
The planes wheels aren't locked and they don't drive the plane. - If the treadmill were turning at 200 mph and plane takeoff speed 200 the wheel would be spinning 400 but the plane would be moving 200. Takeoff.

Retreating Blade Tip Stall.
Posted by: Eromero at June 28, 2017 11:15 PM (zLDYs)
Which is why conventional (horizontal plane main rotor and vertical plane tail rotor) helicopters, have a aerodynamic speed limit of around 220 mph, +/- a bit.
But some 'copters are a bit faster, such as the Chinook, with counter-rotating fore-aft main rotors, or hybrid 'copters with pusher propellers and fuselage mounted stub-wings.
And the Osprey, which when in level flight, is not a helicopter, but a weirded out conventional aircraft with prop thrust and wing lift.
The various Kaman type, intermeshing rotor type helicopters though, don't suffer retreating blade stall effects. They're just too damn slow to ever get there in the first place.
But they're the most stable platforms in hover, yet developed.
As much as we've all hated on the Osprey for it's insane development costs, in both dollars and lives, it's proving to be one hell of a workhorse in active duty environments.
I think we'll see many more such platforms, from large to small, and with mission envelopes yet unimagined.

you're not far off, chili around here usually starts off with my wife breaking out the 50-year-old (yea, damn near literally) crock pot and asking 'what beans do you have up there in the cabinet?'

Find some dumb fuck Congressman to slip in a provision into some omnibus defense spending bill that creates a ginormous treadmill that can go 200 miles per hour that can be used to test take off and landing of F-fucking-22s. 400 Million bucks divided between Boeing and fucking Gold's Gym, sounds good.

A post apocalyptic game should give you a sense of the vastness of the wasteland. For some reason Rage is striking me wrong.

I finally beat Rome 2 a while ago. I never have beaten it as Rome though. I of course did the smart thing and went with the group that is as close to the Mongols as you could get. The Scythians. My armies consisted of majority horse archers. A few melee cavalry and some axemen to provide front support for my ballista/onagers. Send out the archers and just line them as close to the enemy as possible and just watch as they rain arrows and fall back.

1) It's not the coanda effect, or the cloaca effect. It's the cofefe effect.
2) Amelia Earhart was captured by the Japanese. She was held on a secret island, where her captors interrogated her about American aviation technologies. She told them what she could, without divulging too much. They said she was free to go, if she would assist them in some aeronautical tests. Reluctantly, she agreed. They returned her to her plane, then directed her to taxi to an airstrip that had been cleared in the jungle. There, at the threshold of the air strip, was a giant treadmill...
