On a Serious Note People for sale CNN does some excellent actual reporting here, getting a hidden camera into a Libyan slave auction. I often have the same thought when I run across someone spouting the critical theory garbage about the west being uniquely tainted as guilty because of our history of slavery, “Wait, that's exactly backwards”. Slavery has been, and throughout much of the world remains, a human constant. Western culture is unique in the history of the world in that it is the only dominant culture that has made a vigorous and determined effort to stamp out and eliminate slavery. Africa? The Middle East? Asia? Slavery flourishes to this day in all of these regions. Traditional Judeo-Christian values, coming out of the enlightenment, created an abolitionist movement that declared slavery was evil and wrong. It had the guts and fortitude to continue to push this belief against the entrenched mores of the day, up to and including engaging in a terrible civil war within the dominant racial group to end it. Uniquely tainted? Hardly. What's historically unique to the west is ending slavery. Grandma Would Have Wanted it This Way Looks like Florida Man is on vacation...

Was there a significant Jewish element to the abolitionist movement? I'm not trying to start anything, but I thought it was very much a Christian thing. Not an expert by any means, so put some knowledge to me.

Ashkenazi Jews did join the Union side in the Civil War, if that counts. Mostly, er, Marxists though. Al Benson and Walter Donald Kennedy wrote a book about that, "Lincoln's Marxists".
Sephardic Jews were well-established in New York and in several Southern states by then, mostly on the slave-states' side. Judah Benjamin being the famous one.
Mediterranean Jews were heavily involved in the trade side of slavery. They never formed any significant abolitionist movement in Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Portugal etc.

Yeah, I know. Lots of Jews in the slave trade, as well as lots of Christians, Muslims, and others. And, of course, there were plenty of Jews in the Civil Rights Movement. Not trying to play a blame game or anything, but it was always my impression that the abolitionist movement was very much the product of some (not all!) Christians.
Posted by: Anon Y. Mous at November 16, 2017 09:53 PM (FUu/Z)
BTH already answered, but that's not specifically what I meant. From my Christian POV, Christianity is an extension of Judaism (Some Jews may take issue with this, and I understand and respect that, but at the very least Christianity was started by Jewish heretics). An analogy might be a two story house. If Christianity is the second story, no matter how good you might think it is, it wouldn't be there without the first story supporting it. If the abolitionist movement came out of Christian values, those values owe their existence to their Jewish predecessors, hence "Judeo-Christian".

Was at a gig one night and my drummer looks at me and says in his Bahstahn accent, "Hey, you don't have an adjustable wrench, do you?" I get my FP, rummage around in it and pull out a small adjustable wrench, which is on a chain with some other tools.
After he gets done with the wrench, he says in Bostonese, "Well, I guess I can't call that thing a fag bag anymore." Heh.
One of those things would be perfect to haul around a certain type of firearm just like the one I lost in that tragic canoeing incident many years ago.

The price will have to drop by at least a factor of ten before that happens. Note that except for cleaning up a weld on sheet steel, all the demo work was done on metal with 1/4 section thickness or better. On work of that nature, operating a small industrial sandblaster, I could easily exceed the speed that the laser made. And I am a very occasional user of such equipment. (There are "do-it-yourself" sandblast rental bays in many cities, and for fifty bucks an hour, you can sandblast to your heart's content.)
Now, sandblasting can warp and damage thin sheet metal, like auto body steel, unless a lot of care is taken. The laser might might have an edge there. But the price is off-putting. Restoring an entire car body? Might be better off have it dipped in a chemical rust-remover tank.

My brother was restoring an old car back on the family farm when I was a teen, and we rigged up a sand blasting booth in one of the farm buildings. Horrible, horrible process -- got sand in places I didn't get it rolling around on a beach.
(The farm building was the strippin' room. So called because during the winter it was used for stripping the leaves off the stalks of tobacco plants. Dropping the 'g' is NOT optional, even now nearly 40 years after.)

family farm when I was a teen, and we rigged up a sand blasting booth in
one of the farm buildings. Horrible, horrible process -- got sand in
places I didn't get it rolling around on a beach.
(The farm building was the strippin' room. So called because during
the winter it was used for stripping the leaves off the stalks of
tobacco plants. Dropping the 'g' is NOT optional, even now nearly 40
years after.)

The rental outfits provide you with a supplied-air helmet and heavy gloves. But, yeah, sands gets into everything. And a shower gets rid of it, too. I have a little 2-gallon pressure-pot sandblaster I use here at home. It's finicky to use. If I have a lot of bigger iron to sandblast, I load it up, and go to Consolidated Compressor.

I used to religiously look for Maddox's update posts on his "Best Page in the Universe" back in the early 00's. Sad thing that an original edge-lord now gets so triggered about people making fun of him that he sues them for that much, although as MM and others have noted, that amount is probably aimed towards Patreon shutting down Dick's account without too much of a legal hassle.
Btw, there was a "Copping a Feel" section of Maddox's "Alphabet of Manliness" book that Maddox essentially disavowed if rumors are true.

That is a misleading way for them to phrase it.
What they really did was instead of directly instructing the object of the figure how to navigate its environment, they came up with a convoluted way of instructing the figure how to walk. I don't think there's real "learning" going on here.
For example: you could directly instruct the figure
i) if you see a ditch, jump it
ii) if you see a wall, do not walk into it
iii) if you see an obstacle jump over it
No accidents, the figure gets it right every time.
But then, you could instruct the figure to get the same results in a more convoluted way.
i) make figure run forward unrestricted
ii) if the figure stumbles in some way:
---if it was due to a ditch, then set a flag, and in the future jump over ditches
---if it was due to running into a wall, set a flag that it should avoid walls
---if it was due to an obstacle, set a flag that it should climb over obstacles.
Because the designer is specifying every aspect of the system, the desired result is predetermined to occur. But there is no real "learning" going on here. It's just a question of whether the specification of how result is achieved is via a direct way or via a convoluted way.

DirecTV is currently beta testing limited cloud based DVR service that may or may not allow fast forwarding. Some people say it does, some say it doesn't. They're likely testing both.
Sling allows fast forwarding for now.
YouTube TV offers unlimited cloud DVR service, but they're forcing people to watch on-demand un-fast-forwardable versions of popular network TV shows immediately after broadcast.
I would be surprised if that model wasn't adopted by across the board. Sooner than later too. At these streaming prices, television won't survive without guaranteed commercial revenues, and cord cutters are probably a more stubborn crowd when it comes to skipping commercials, compared to traditional cable subscribers.
The best we can hope for is probably an "unrestricted DVR mode" for ten or twenty bucks more a month.

Well, my father is back home from rehab for the broken hip. Today, I did something today I've never done before, and did it twice: changed a "full" diaper on him.
I joked before I was going to be paying for my sins back in my younger days. Well, I am. It's not a pleasant task. One just has to buck one's ears and do it.
My mother tickled me during all that. When I was doing all that with him, he said something about, "well, I changed you a many of a time when you were a baby."
When I got out with him, my mother had an PO'd expression on her face, and mouthed to me, "No, he did not!" Then whispered in my ear after we got him back in the den, "He didn't change you a single time!"
That was just funny.

I agree, but Speculum on-demand has commercials that you can't FF through. It's a PITA. Might not ever be able to get rid of the damned things, but if they tailor them to me, I can almost tolerate that. I'm sick and tired of watching commercials where there are no men, or if there are any, they're just bumbling horny alkies who can't do anything right. Which is all of them these days. F 'em.
And yes, hogmartin, they still make Butter Rum Lifesavers. Had a hard time finding them a couple of months ago, tho'. They weren't available anywhere I normally bought them. I even emailed the Wrigley Co and axed them what the problem was. Naturally they weren't going to tell little old me, but I couldn't find any anywhere around Casa Backwardio for almost three months. Strange...

Weird Dave, you did good. And you described the relationship between Judea and Christian very well.
Essentially, it's the old-fashioned term, encompassing the old and new testaments, right? Doesn't mean Jews, exactly.
The success within Western Civilization has followed the unified Judea-Christian community. When people, even Christians, reject the Jews, there will be a decline in that culture.

From the PC catalog page (which rates the room note as a euphemistic 4/5 "distinct"):
This is best used by the experienced pipe smoker, as the strength can be overpowering to many, and it's definitely best to have eaten shortly before trying it.

The question is whether or not streaming services will all say "hey you know what since we're giving you all cheap and unlimited cloud storage for DVR then you won't mind when we switch you to on-demand versions of shows you didn't really watch live."
Technically, it's a weird, fine line. Your cable box actually does record those shows in real time. It's transmitted to your individual home. Online streaming services? Nope. You're grabbing the same "recorded" version as everyone else, and that's part of the reason why they're allowed to kick you over to on-demand post-broadcast.

Rust/corrosion resistance is the main feature of stainless steel alloys. Of course, it depends on what type of corrosion it's going to be exposed to, what temperatures, chemical environment, etc.
But stainless steel, and there are many, many different types, is basically non-rustable.

True. But any metal, whether ferrous or non-ferrous, will form some sort of oxidizing skin (hence the name) when exposed to air, even aluminum. With stainless, it's just not rust, it's not very thick and doesn't color it.
And on that note, it's Bedtime for Bonzo.

Wouldn't removing rust compromise the component, since it would reduce
the thickness of the layers of metal that it is made up of?
Posted by: Steve and Cold Bear at November 16, 2017 11:05 PM (/qEW2)
Like Publius says, stainless steel doesn't normally rust, although certain types of corrosion can affect it. But when you see rust on steel, you are seeing the remains of a thin surface layer that has been eaten up by oxygen. That is lost metal. Now a thick piece of metal can normally lose a tiny layer of itself, and still remain adequately strong to do its job, even if the derusted surface is slightly pitted. But thin metal, like auto bodies, can rust right right through.
There are some steel alloys that are designed to form a thin layer of rust, which coats the steel, and prevents it from rusting further. Commonly seen used for streetlight stanchions.

I think some of those stats include prostitution as slavery. No doubt, there are some people in forced prostitution, but I think that is a pretty small portion of the prostitution business. Nonetheless, I think some of those stats include all prostitutes.

The layer that forms on stainless (and aluminum, btw) is called a "passive layer". Look that up for details. Basically a very thing oxide layer forms that prevents further oxidation of the base metal underneath.
Now, with regular steel, the rusting process just goes right through the oxide layer that forms and keeps eating it, under the right conditions, which is moisture and oxygen.
Exposure to certain chemical environments can eat right through a passive layer on some alloy that would resist resist normal iron rusting process. Some interesting metallurgy and chemistry in all that.

If I'm not tired, I could take two melatonin and drive all night without feeling drowsy at all. BUT - if I take a melatonin and do manage to fall asleep, I'll be out for at least 7 hours instead of sleeping for 3 hours and then staring at the ceiling until the sun comes up. Handy stuff, melatonin.

That's only part of the problem, isn't it? They made it so that you have to grind away forever to get to some of the best features. Then, they allowed you to buy your way past the grind, for a fairly hefty sum. But, if they disable the money path, that means that all that's left is the grinding. They've just screwed over the ones that want to pay without doing anything for those that don't want to pay but don't want to dedicate their lives to grinding.

The original math required an estimated 2000 hours of grinding to unlock everything. That's just stupidly unbalanced.
The bigger mistake was locking Luke and Vader from the get go. No one wants to spend $80 then find out the main namesake characters are unplayable. Equipment and levels and such? Sure, lock those, but Luke and Vader? Stupid.
It's the future of gaming though. It's amazing how much money kids can spend in-game when their parents aren't watching or simply don't care.
Posted by: Walter Freeman at November 17, 2017 12:02 AM (I/iGu)
They'll bring back micro transactions shortly after New Years, and worse, they'll be able to position them as a way for stragglers to catch up with players who got started during the holidays.
Most parents don't really give a shit about video game ratings, but they really should rate some of these games as mature because of micro transaction gambling for loot boxes, equipment, etc.
Never gonna happen 'cause ESRB is a industry staffed private org.
Posted by: Walter Freeman at November 16, 2017 11:54 PM (I/iGu)
But Belgium is currently looking into if it can be called gambling. A lot of people definitely think it is.
And yeah I expect them to come back, and they're sure not taking them out of other games right now. Hell Activision is looking into doing some really scummy behavior with microtransactions, and 2K games has said all future games will have them. But EA went overboard here, kind of like how they did Dead Space 3 a number of years ago.
They had a really horrible set up that pissed people off in the beta and then they tried to walk that back. Than with the early access release people saw how "grinding" would be required to unlock Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader and they again had to roll that back even more, but they still did crap with it again. Then they had the rewards time limited on the Arcade mode of the game, you know like a mobile phone game does with "you must wait 45 minutes to get more lives, OR you can pay some more money to keep playing!" In a $60+ video game.

There you are! I was kinda playing a sleuthing/guessing game last night seeing if someone could figure it out. Then you disappeared and I felt like a heel. There is a place you can watch it free.
SouthParkStudios.com
OR
Southpark.cc.com
You can watch free, but the new episodes are free for a short time before they go to Hulu. Not sure what it is.
Anyway, a lot of stuff there. It wasn't working today, which hasn't happened before, but could be my iPad.
Usually the new episodes are available the day after they air.
Anyway, have fun.

I don't mind having character unlocks. But yeah the thing is that it needs to be reasonable. And that's been the problem with sticking in the microtransactions. Did you decide to make the unlocks so it gives people a bit of a satisfaction at earning the reward, did you make the leveling system so that people get some decent play at the game? Or did you make it so over the top or the game grind so tedious that you go "Yeah you could spend 60 hours just to level up your favorite gun, ORRRRRR you could just throw down 10 dollars and get it now! And look here's a big flashy button saying 'But it Now!'"

There are some other things too, but that's all I've got tonight. That he hasn't told you about being married seems a bad sign, IMO. He may want more.

I dated a lady for 8 years, who was married, but her husband walked out on her several years before I took up with her.
(part of) The reason I broke it off is that she told me not only would she not marry me, she would never marry me, and she thought I was aware of this.
I don't have an answer for you, there are lots of reasons you might see what you see. You may or may not want to know why. (I am certainly not the person for personal advice, unless you want to know fantastically wonderful ways to screw your life up. )
You may want to decide what you are looking for though, and what you are willing to put up with. Remember also, you may change your mind, and you may decide what you once were willing to put up with stops being acceptable.

don't generally stay in the comments of any ONTs except my own, so I may
have missed something, but has anyone heard anything from, what's her
name, Tickled Pink(?-I'm bad with names) lately? As I recall, she is a
youngish Moron who was going to meet someone she met online. I just
realized I hadn't seen her commenting in a while. Maybe it's the Dad in
me, but should I be worried?
Posted by: Weirddave at November 17, 2017 12:33 AM (Nyyc4)
Tickled Pink is here pretty regularly. I guess the romance is blossoming. Boyfriend wants her to pack up and move to England. She would rather he move to the USA.

Copies, particularly american would be OD. Or, jungle green etc, some shade of green. Depending on the theatre they get issued for, but generally OD or JG. The original kraut ones were most commonly not. Either grey or dark yellow, typically.

Oh and shibumi? It's very hard for men to just stick to friendships with women short of certain circumstances. If this dude is married and hasn't told you he's either separated or looking for side action.
Proceed with caution.

I considered kitting out my car with all kinds of stuff but finally figured that living in Lansing and visiting Indianapolis along the interstate every 3 months or so, I'm basically never outside of maybe ten miles from civilization so aside from the car stuff (jumper cables, fluids, fuses), I just keep some hard candies, a Swedish mess kit, and an entrenching tool plus a USGI wool blanket. If I were in Wyoming or Alaska or something, yeah, maybe... but if I get in trouble outside of cell phone range I can walk until I get signal, and if that's not an option, the 50W dual band ham radio is right there.

People make fun of me for having both the propane and the alcohol stoves, but I have used them both.
Another useful thing is squares of cotton cloth dipped in molten wax and them rolled loosely up for fire lighters, and my favorite is cotton balls and a small tub of vaseline for starting fires.

I hadn't until today, and was really surprised by my findings. He talks about his sons, his relatives, his job, etc. but has never mentioned anything about a wife. Or ex wife. Or being separated. He has lead me to believe he lives alone.
I think it comes down to this:
1. I'm pretty sure he's interested in me romantically
2. I would like him as a friend
3. It's not a good idea to be friends for a single female to be friends with a married man
There is also the fact that it's easy to research people; he could assume I already did and am OK with him being married. IDK.
We're supposed to meet this weekend for lunch; I'm not sure I want to do that.

So today a buffed out young black sailor comes down the stairs at the main range, with a document holder and papers. He asks where his ship (ship's company) is shooting. I ask him "what ship are you on?". "The John P. Murtha". Incredibly, I stifle all but a weak smile and a laugh, and point up to range 3. Of course I'd blotted it out of my mind that the loathsome Murtha had a ship named after him.
Those guys emptied a lot of brass with their M240s. Would have been funny to give them some insight into the man their ship is named after. But I didn't.

My regular carry in the Suburban is a small toolbox with basic mechanic's tools, some safety triangles, and a plastic tub with a tow strap in it, and booster cables. I have a milk crate with a few spare parts, first aid kit, and liter bottles of oil and ATF. What I don't regularly carry, but should: blanket, sleeping bag, fire-starting kit, and insulated coveralls. When I am headed out to the rig, some of the latter is included in my wellsite kit.

Ah, the Canadian minxes that never were. On a flight from Edmonchuk to Toronto on AirCanada, eons ago, a connection in the group got us into the (sparsely filled) biz class section, on an L1011. The connection was an AirCanada pilot who also did aviation journalism gigs, he knew the chief steward, who was a character. He basically searched the large coach section, and brought up young female victims, er, companions to sit next to each of us. (yeah, that ain't happening today for 239 reasons)
My victim was a hawt ginger nurse. It staggers the imagination that I didn't make more of an effort to keep in touch, I think we did exchange letters.
Anyway, there was a "happy ending" to the flight - I got to sit in the jump seat up on the flight deck for landing. Crew told me that a few days before, on the same flight, Gretzky had been in the seat for landing.

Water presents a practical problem. In cold winter weather, it turns into a solid that won't pour out of the bottle.
If I am on a (potentially long) trip to wellsite, I will have my grub box, and some groceries, and usually some soda pop, which resists freezing a bit better than water. And the vehicle will be warm inside, unless I have to hotel it part way.

Yeah, I've pared down quite a bit too. Out of all the car crap, the only things I've ever used are radiator coolant (probably not needed... I just noticed the reservoir was empty), entrenching tool (somebody else was stuck in snow), jumper cables (again for other people), maglite and headlamp (when I couldn't find a well-lit parking lot), and tire pressure gauge, probably more often than the other stuff combined.
I used to carry so much pocket clutter too, until I stopped carrying things I haven't needed to use ever. All I have now is:
- Card sleeve with DL, insurance card, credit/debit cards, VA benefits card
- Pocket notebook
- ~$25 in various bills and change
- Fisher 'bullet' space pen (for waterproof writing)
- Pilot fountain pen (for everything else)
- 4 year old iPhone
- 1 AAA LED twist light
- Cigs and two lighters
- Carmex
- Mints or gum
- Most recent AA anniversary coin
- Opinel N° 8 carbon steel
- Leatherman Squirt PS4
- 32GB USB stick
- Multi-use charging cable
- Walther PPS M2 9x19 w/6rd mag in PJ IWB tuckable holster
- Spare 7rd mag
- Pen flare
- Mini IFAK
- Compact hammock and rain fly
- 50' paracord
- Telescoping hiking stick x2
- Goggles, sun, wind, dust
- 5 minute smoke escape hood
- Inflatable life vest
- Single cartridge, 9x19, self, for the dispatching of, in the gravest extreme
- AED
- Bag of Holding
- A crude but serviceable sailing dinghy
- What were we talking about
- I think I spaced out around 'spare mag'

So... I'm going to think about things.
If I ask "so, are you married?" that might lead him to think I'm interested in him romantically, which I'm not.
If I don't ask "are you married," that might lead him to think I'm open to a dalliance, and I'm not.
So... time to explain that my "cat" is actually my live in lipstick lesbian lover?

I think it comes down to this:
1. I'm pretty sure he's interested in me romantically
2. I would like him as a friend
3. It's not a good idea to be friends for a single female to be friends with a married man
There is also the fact that it's easy to research people; he could assume I already did and am OK with him being married. IDK.
We're supposed to meet this weekend for lunch; I'm not sure I want to do that.

But it returned with the renaissance, with the worship of all things from Graeco-Roman classical civilization. Add to that that the single biggest exception to the above was in Iberia, which was the vanguard of Western expansion.
Now, I do give Spain and Portugal a bit of a break on this. Since, for centuries, they were in constant contact and conflict with Islam, it's hard to see how you get your own people to stop treating their enemies exactly as they will be treated when they lose. Still, there it is. I do not know if it's true, but it occurs to me that this may have something to do with the Sephardic attitude discussed above, as that is where so many of them came from. (The Knights of Malta were another example of this. Same reason.)
I'm not crazy about calling the victims of Mao, etc, "slaves". It's a kind of shift of language which is very harmful, and a favorite tactic of the West. You end up calling a typical 1950s housewife a "slave". I'd stick to the definition of the slave a property as essential. (But in classical China, I get the impression that prostitutes were pretty much all slaves, at least the ones in brothels.)
