Monday Overnight Open Thread (12/4/17)
"When a gay politician gets married, it usually indicates that he is highly ambitious, and desires to put himself in a position to move up the power ladder," Joy Reid
Black and liberal And SJW.
Quote II
If a white grade-school teacher pretends to be black, that's totally racist and you should denounce him as such immediately; But if a white professor pretends to be Harvard Law School's "first woman of color" and you point it out, then you're the racist. Mark SteynQuote III
Wherever the standard of freedom and independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will America’s heart, her benedictions and her prayers be. But she goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. John Adams -POTUS
The ONT isn't sure if this will help with TV repairs or your Christmas lights.
They voted for panacea. They wanted utopia. Guess what? They didn't find it and are moving to do so.
The rent steals so much of your paycheck, you might have to move back in with your parents, and half your life is spent staring at the rear end of the car in front of you. You'd like to think it will get better, but when? All around you, young and old alike are saying goodbye to California. "Best thing I could have done," said retiree Michael J. Van Essen, who was paying $1,160 for a one-bedroom apartment in Silver Lake until a year and a half ago. Then he bought a house with a creek behind it for $165,000 in Mason City, Iowa, and now pays $500 a month less on his mortgage than he did on his rent in Los Angeles.
‘In moral philosophy it is useful, I believe, to think about plants.’ The words were spoken to an audience of American philosophers in 1989. The speaker was trying to provoke a reaction, but this might have gone unnoticed. After all, Philippa Foot – nearly 70 by then – didn’t look like a heretic. There is a clue in her reference to moral philosophy. For at least the past 200 years, people who have thought about these things have suspected – or hoped – that morality is the one thing that sets human beings apart from nature (or should one say, the rest of nature?). Nature is the realm of laws, stern and unbreakable, and morality that of freedom. Nature is how things are, morality how they ought to be. If there’s anything to these points of contrast, then what seems at first a mere platitude sounds more like an absurdity. We are not, in the relevant sense, part of nature – not even of that part of nature that consists in our fellow animals, and, still less, plants
Blonde vs. Brunette. What about the ginger? Gingers have have genetic super powers.
Dr. Augustin Galopin first recorded this fact in his 1886 book Le Parfum de la Femme.
He reportedly detected that red-headed women emit a particularly distinct aroma — that of ambergris, an earthy and sensual scent. (Later, science proved that skin mantle — a thin, acidic film on our skin’s surface — is actually more acidic in redheads, causing perfume to more quickly evaporate when applied and potentially emitting a unique smell of its own.)
This and other fascinating facts fill the new tome The Big Redhead Book (St. Martins), out now, by scarlet-haired writer Erin La Rosa.
What the hell is a Bioetchicist? Well if it is Tauriq Moosa, you're talking about one sick dude.
Opponents of human exceptionalism work overtime to normalize or OK behavior long deemed inherently wrong. The latest example appears in Big Think, where a South African bioethicist named Tauriq Moosa argues that copulating with the dead should not be considered immoral. Moosa correctly believes that respecting the dead flows from believing that human beings have unique value. But as a denier of human exceptionalism, he doesn’t, and hence, does not think that necrophilia should be considered a big deal. From, “Is Necrophilia Wrong?”
There is a difference between frigidity and room temperature Doc.
Over the Thanksgiving weekend, I caught two police drama TV shows in which a young woman called her man her “partner” rather than her boyfriend. I thought, “That’s weird. Why didn’t she simply say her boyfriend?” Then, it dawned on me. Homosexuals use the term “partner”. So now Hollywood producers are telling us we must be what they call “gender inclusive”. We must abandon traditional gender distinctive terms like boyfriend and girlfriend. This is yet another under-the-radar baby-step by Leftists to implement the LGBT agenda. Some of you are saying, Lloyd, you’re nuts, seeing conspiracy everywhere. Okay, explain to me why boyfriends are now called partners. Public schools are banning teachers from addressing students as boys and girls. Leftists claim saying boys and girls is bigoted, ignorant, insensitive and mean.
Another reason the NFL is losing viewership? Thuggery? If you or I did this on the job I think we would be facing criminal charges. The funny thing, sports thugs have been charged before.NHL players criminally charged.
Is the NFL shortchanging charitable organizations?
San Francisco 49er Eric Reid shocked even the left-leaning Slate when he told the magazine in an interview Saturday that the NFL intends to use money slated for breast cancer charities and the "Salute to Service" veterans fund to pay for a seven-year, $89 million "social justice" program designed to placate protesting players. The NFL announced the nearly-$100 million initiative last week as a way of "settling" with a coalition of players who have been kneeling during the national anthem since the start of the season — a group led by now-former 49er, out-of-work second string quarterback Colin Kaepernick, Philadelphia Eagles’ Malcolm Jenkins and retired NFLer Anquan Boldin
You. Had. One. Job. To. Do. Silverdome implosion fails.
That didn’t happen. An executive from the demolition company, Adamo Group, told the Detroit Free Press wiring failed on the demolition attempt. The structure could still fall, but they’re not sure when. “Unless we find something in the next few hours researching the wiring, we will take it down mechanically,” Cuppetilli said. “We haven’t found the wire yet. It’s going to take us a while to research it all.”
Given microbes' ubiquitous nature, we expect a certain amount of bacteria to be in our kitchens, on items like raw chicken and filthy dish sponges. But, there are certain places where finding bacteria is a bit more surprising, for example, in the freezer. However, a new paper challenges that assumption and may make us pause before we add that "clink" to our drink. A research group surveyed ice cubes that are made and sold for human consumption, also known as "food grade ice," for the presence of bacteria. In the United States alone, there are 5,600,000 bags of ice sold each year. This ice is used either for direct usage, such as to be placed into drinks, or indirect usage, such as to keep fish cold in the seafood counter of the grocery store.
Preparation can be punished. As Miss Fat finds out.
We've talked about National Reciprocity, How does it really work?
Just a few miles from Lake Erie, farmer Mike Jordan takes me on a walk through his vineyard. On a work utility vehicle we move through the rows of vines bursting with purple and high yellow grapes. … Recent years have been some of the warmest globally. And Jordan remembers well the extreme weather that hit his farm. “We’ve had a very mild winter [in 2016] so almost everything survived,” he said. “But prior to that, the winter of 2014 to 2015, were extremely cold temperatures that I’ve never seen before. “And it killed a lot of vineyards that in the past we’ve had success with. We’ve done a lot of replanting and we try to choose varieties that can survive the winter.”
Hillary Clinton Will Never Be
The West Virginia woman who last month pulled a knife on two men and announced, “Somebody is going to eat my pussy or I’m going to cut your fucking throat,” pleaded guilty today to assault and was sentenced to 90 days in jail

The Optune install was postponed until Wednesday. Apparent glitch on the delivery info.
From Dear Friend Roni:
Hubby prepared lunch for us as we awaited the arrival of the Optune representative. At 12:30, she cancelled and rescheduled for Wednesday morning.
Joyce had fun trying on various hats and scarves. And, she looks beautiful with her shaved head! She had a great weekend, and I will continue to tell you that she is functionally MUCH better! Walking without walker and up and down my stairs."
Wow!
Something else Roni mentioned on the phone today: she's not convinced the tumor's actually growing: for one thing,t here seems to be some disagreement among the doc's about whether or not it's actually grown, and her functionality continues to improve (for which: THANK YOU Horde for your prayers!).
[Horde: To my fellow Hordelings, thank you all in advance for your prayers and well-wishes for my sister and her family]

My mother reached a point where it was dangerous for her to continue too live on her own.
She lived 3 houses down the street from my niece, and got lost on the way there one day in October 2008 in Des Moines. One of my niece's children caught her before she got too far away.
If it had been January, it might have been tragic.
As it was, I figure that moving her into the facility probably extended her life for another year and a half.

I assume anyone referring to "partner" is talking about a homosexual.
We need to fight this battle, so that "partner" doesn't become like "single mother." a catch-all term that subsumes both the honorable and the unhonorable under the same aegis.

Welcome to the Final Hours of the "Wearing the Cat" Holiday Extravaganza!*
through today, Monday, December 4th, both volumes of "Wearing the Cat - The Complete Novel" are FREE for the Kindle on Amazon.
Here are the links:
"Wearing the Cat - The Complete Novel, Volume One"
https://www.amazon.com/Wearing-Cat-Complete-Novel-Book-ebook/dp/B06XKQVKH8
"Wearing the Cat - The Complete Novel, Volume Two"
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XKNC4JK
"Wearing the Cat" is perfect for holiday reading under the mistletoe, or a great way to relax after a hard day of Dreidel spinning, or the consummate companion for standing naked in the snow covered in caribou blood and entrails as you howl at the moon for Winter Solstice.
And here are the Kirkus Reviews of "Wearing the Cat" for Volume One and Volume Two, if you would like a completely independent viewpoint:
"Wearing the Cat - The Complete Novel, Volume One" review
https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/hd-woodard/wearing-cat1/
"Wearing the Cat - The Complete Novel, Volume Two" review
https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/hd-woodard/wearing-cat/
The review for Volume One is off-target about the latter part of the book because the reviewer couldn't see how things fit together in Volume Two. But, his review of Volume Two seems on target to me, if a bit spoilerish. Anyway, give them a look-see.
and have a laugh on me this Holiday Season.
*If you got the serial version of WTC last year, you may want to upgrade to "WTC - The Complete Novel".
Due to WTC going into paperback, I did a final reread and made some changes. The font and formatting are nicer and easier to read. 99.9% of mistakes/misspellings have been corrected. And, I made a few rewrites here and there.
Enjoy!

Posted by: Roy
Peter Singer from Princeton University is a Bioethicist.
Similar to his argument for abortion, Singer argues that newborns lack the essential characteristics of personhood rationality, autonomy, and self consciousness[47] and therefore killing a newborn baby is never equivalent to killing a person, that is, a being who wants to go on living .[48]

Venezuela slips ever more easily into the typical "success" story of all socialist regimes: Where the Nomenklatura live in opulence, and the great unwashed masses who are supposed to be the masters of their socialist utopia enjoy the lack of healthcare, feasting upon emaciated zoo animals, and the joys of hyperinflation.

RE: "partner". This has been a term used in the UK for quite a while now. Covers everything from your spouse to the hook-up sleeping on your couch. Wouldn't want to offend anyone. Of course, this makes every little old lady who plays bridge sound like a lesbian.
The comments on the CA to NV exodus are surprisingly stereotypical "cruel Republican" types. My favorite: "If you can not make it in California you are the problem. If you do not have talent, brains, and a strong work ethic. You are domed to a hard life here." Sounds like an English-as-second-language H1B visa holder.

idle on the internet, i finally looked up where auburn is - alabama! aha! the big game!
but it is also a word that describes reddish brown, especially hair. but oddly, it derives from the latin "alburnus" for yellowish white. what happened is that in the 16th century it was often enough misspelled albrune or albroune in french texts so that it took on an association with brown! i'm not making it up. stuff like that happened before spelling was normalized.

I would be OK with using the term "life partner" to describe a same-sex spouse. But why not just use the word "spouse"? "Partner" could be business partner, or prospecting partner, or hunting partner, and using "partner" alone to describe a same-sex spouse taints the legitimate uses of the word.

I've seen a bunch lately with my father's adventures. They wear all kinds. None sexy.
I haven't seen a nurse in a white in ages. In fact they tell me they mostly changed that policy to avoid wearing white -- it's apparently scary and puts people on edge sometimes, they've decided. The docs still wear the white lab coats a lot, but I've noticed a lot of them foregoing that as well.

President Trump rolled back the anti-Constitutional Federal Land Grabs in Utah at Bears Ears and Escalante Staircase.
The networks all focused on the Democrat Narrative: this action would open up some of these lands to mining and energy exploration.
But that's not the issue.
The real issue is this: these "monuments" were created by fiat, by using the Antiquities Act, rather than the National Park Act. Monuments can be created by presidential decree, while National Parks require Congress and local citizens to be heard. But monuments are supposed to be icons like Indian Cliff Dwellings or the Statue of Liberty, not 583,000 square miles of Hawaiian ocean. These are really stealth National Parks.
But Clinton and Obama didn't have the votes or support for National Parks, so they short-circuited the democratic process to get what they wanted, Constitutional governance be damned.
That's pretty much all Democrats do anymore--cheat. They cheat with judges, with law-fare, with phony FISA warrants, with vote fraud, with #FakeMedia, with Special Counsels, with phony smear campaigns, with illegal one-man treaties and in this case, they cheated with illegal one-man legislation. Yet again.
Since they won't tell you, I will. At every turn, President Trump is once again returning American governance to its proper role and Constitutional despite, despite the hysterical claims of the ninnies and Nanny-state opposition to the contrary.
Thanks, President Trump.

The "craven" theory of metric land measure does not prove out. It takes about two and a half acres to make a hectare.
A lot of metricists hold the millimeter as superior to the inch because it is smaller, therefore by definition more "accurate." You can get them going pretty good by just stating the machinists' term "ten-thousandths."

No system of measurement is superior to any other, in any general sense.
Why the SI (metric) is touted is that it is coherent. Derived units are just unit multiples of base units, and you have the base ten prefix system. That's all there is.
Me, I'll happily use SI for scientific stuff, yet I still "think" in US customary units. It's like your prime language. For example, if you tell me something is so many meters, or so many liters, etc, etc, I have to convert that roughly to feet and gallons to "feel" how much it is.
The only thing you can argue has any superiority is the Planck units (or God's units). Well, here there aren't any actual units. Everything is dimensionless. You are letting the universe itself, through the physical laws (by setting the dimensionful constants to unity) determine the scale of everything.
And that sucks because the Planck length and Planck time are so damn tiny as to be useless.

Sad to say, there is sort of a point to that. In many scales, for instance, they will read up to tenths. In ounces or grams ... up to tenths. So, clearly you get more accurate reads in grams.
You get this stuff going on with measurement devices that have digital readouts. Generally they will measure all with the same decimal precision so you get the most accurate reads with the smallest unit. The hardware is accurate enough and there would be no sense to reading to the hundredths for an ounce and then cutting to the tenths for a gram. So, digital readouts and precise (generally solid state) measuring hardware bring about this situation.
I have a swing speed monitor that measures to units, only. I have a choice of MPH or KPH, but given the same precision in the readout the KPH is more accurate. I still don't use kilometers per hour ... because the upper bound is an issue at times in terms of KPH, but for most people the KPH reading would be more accurate and better.

Palpatine spekith truth, and not mere quippeth. For once you leave Earth, everything based on the Meter serves only as a reference to planetary size. The easy estimations of foot, yard, inch, and I'll even go "cubit" if we can keep Bill Cosby out of it, work wherever we send humans. Is that the issue?
The classic is the mile, from the Latin word for soldier. A mile is a thousand pairs-of-steps for a Roman legionary, and despite our increase in height, a thousand paces has not changed much. Now, what's that in barleycorns?
Tibet was mapped by just one guy, who got a long-term contract with the Brits and began by teaching himself to pace exactly the same, hot cold up and down hill, just the sort of crazy shit the Indians are noted for. And his maps were just effing excellent. He is known to history as Pundit Number One. That's where "pundit" comes from. His name was Nain Singh and he is up there in the pantheon of surveyors and mapmakers.

I'm an average shoe size, size 10.
Using barleycorns, at 3/inch, and using the original definition, counting back from 13 inch = size 13, at 1 bareycorn per shoe size, my size 10 equals 1 foot or 12 inch (ynch).

Posted by: Skandia Recluse, Real Lee at December 04, 2017 11:23 PM (KdDCu)
Yep. Yesterday, I forked over $400 ish at Home Despot, for a wee bit of lumber and 5 lbs. of coated deck screws.
Tore down the Hurricane Ike affected porch railing, as well as the stairs and their railings.
Why?
'Cause the original sloppy General Contractor didn't insure that the crappy Porch & Deck Sub Contractor used hot-dipped galvanized nails, per code.
And given that said 4 ft. 8 in. off the ground porch was fully submerged by Hurricane Ike's storm surge, all those nails started their inevitable salt water cursed decay.
Kilz and paint kept the bleed through at bay since 2008, but the metal itself had pretty much fully powderized, and the railings were becoming a certain hazard, and delay was no longer an option.
I'm building them back to a much higher standard, anyway. Fully sanded and dimensioned treated lumber, routered corners and coved handrails. And very, very meticulous measuring, cutting and assembly.
Got rained out today, and a cold front hits mid-day, tomorrow.
Maintenance costs? We haz 'em!

There's an interesting exercise you can do to derive Planck Units. Consider the following. Let M, L, and T, be the unit of mass, length, and time.
M/T = c (speed of light)
L/T^2 = G * M^2/L^2 (gravitational force law)
M*L^2/T^2 = h / T (Planck's constant E = hv relation)
Note that is three equations in three variables. Solve for M, L, at T. That you gives you the Planck mass, length, and time in terms of the fundamental constants.
That's just for three dimensions and three constants. You can add the rest with the EM relations and others.
But that's a neat way to see how one lets God determine your units for you.

Anyway, that demonstrates that what you're doing with Planck (God's) units is setting all the fundamental constants to 1, and letting the units be whatever they need to be to make it so.
The speed of light is 1 length per time unit
The gravitational constant is 1.
Planck's constant is 1.
Now, to complete it, you just set Coulomb's constant to 1 and get the electric charge units in there and all that.

Only indirectly. There used to be an iridium bar that defined length, and which in turn was used to define mass (as the mass of the water within a cube of defined length).
IIRC, length is now defined in terms of the wavelength of an atomic absorption/emission (Na D line? I don't remember.)

And U.S. manufacturers, notably GM, screwed the pooch when they did go metric. Euro metric bolt heads were typically 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, and 19 mm.

That actually what I said, just in different words. By saying "set the fundamental constants to one", I mean let the physical constants determine your scale for all these "dimension" things like mass, length, and time, we fool around with.
Let the universe choose you scale.
Only problem is, God uses a very, very fine distance, and time scale. Planck mass is fairly large though (which is another way of saying gravity is weak). You can think of the Planck mass as the mass to make a black hole with a plank length radius, but there will be factor of two in there as well, because of the Schwarzchild relation.....but that's a needless complication to worry about.
And even calling it "weak" sort of goes against the God's unit philosophy.

They are trying to work on a new mass standard. The standard kilogram in Paris is losing mass somehow, IIRC. Tiny little bit, but it's "evaporating" some tiny amount.
Ideally, the mass standard should be something simple you can "easily" pick out from standard physical processes. Length and time are there. In fact, you only need one. The speed of light, which is *defined* now, determines the other one. Which way it goes I forget.

When you're roadbuilding, there are at least two aggregate mixtures, large berm and small berm. These have to be ordered as 411's and 304's.

Hence the wavelength standard of length, which is in the spirit of the original definition of the meter, one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the North Pole.

Had a 350 diesel and the switch for the glow plugs went out. It was mounted in the top of the block, easy to see right before your eyes. Bought a huge box end to get it. NO. it required a special tool, you could slip the wrench on but moving it right or left was blocked.
Ran that car another year and a half without glow plugs. WD-40

The distant between silicon atoms in crystalline silicon is the most accurately measured of any single element material, IIRC. Thus by having a sphere of precise diameter, you can most accurately determine the number of atoms than you could with carbon.

I had to look it up. The unit of length, the meter, is derived from the second.
Currently, the speed of light is *defined* as exactly 299,792,458 m/s.
The second, in turn, is defined as 9192631770 periods of the radiation of the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state Cesium-133 atom. Some other necessary devilish details need to be specified as well.
ANyway, one meter is thus c*second.

I was thinking about that -- it requires some Deep Thoughts and I'm getting fucked in the head. But that means you need a definition of Coulomb. For practical reasons, we define the ampere, *current* as fundamental. That is, via a magnetic force method, the ampere is defined. Now, to know force, you need mass, length, and time defined.
The Coulomb is then derived as the charge carried by that ampere is one second.
So, you're depending on mass being defined in order to determine the unit of charge.

I don't know why, other than convenience, but in "SI", the kilogram is the fundamental base unit of mass, not the gram. "MKS" (plus the others), meter-kilogram-second.
Now, CGS, is the system with the gram as the base mass unit. Gaussian electrical units, which students of EM theory will know, is based on CGS, plus electrical definitions. Which are different from the standard SI electrical definitions.
While we don't really do it, in MKS, thus we should talk kilo-kilograms, or milli-kilograms (gram). But we don't.

In SI(MKS), a Coulomb is one ampere-second. The ampere is defined by a magnetic force method.
You can look it up.
You could define an electric charge unit in terms of number of charged fundamental particles, but the current Ampere is not done that way.

Now, CGS, is the system with the gram as the base mass unit. Gaussian electrical units, which students of EM theory will know, is based on CGS, plus electrical definitions. Which are different from the standard SI electrical definitions.
While we don't really do it, in MKS, thus we should talk kilo-kilograms, or milli-kilograms (gram). But we don't.

It's one of the things that's really annoying about science. You learn the various units, and the conversions between them, and then some cheese-eating surrender monkey, having gotten wind that people have figured all of this out, decides to change to new units based on gerbil testicle size or something.
It's kind of like those assholes in Redmond moving shit around in Windows X. "Oh jeez, people have figured out where this is, let's move it somewhere else."

The ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed one metre apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2×10-7 newtons per metre of length.
------------------
If you're familiar with EM theory, this amounts to *defining* mu_0, to be exactly 4pi*10^-7 H/m.
Which is what is done. This immediately determines, epsilon_0 and the electric force constant by c, the speed of light.
It's done this way because of practical considerations.

I think some Mosin-Nagants (not many, probably collectible) have the sight denominated in arshin, vs. meters, for elevation (range). Think they changed these out when the various mods and upgrades were done. 2 and 1/3 feet, I think. So an arshin would be less than a meter.

Basically yes, and the 4pi being put in to cancel the 4pi the magnetic force equation.
It's just letting magnetic forces, rather than electric forces, being the fundamental thing you're measuring to determine your electric unit.
Charges are much easier to circulate than separate for us.
Electric motors are really magnetic motors. They use the magnetic forces between currents. Although true "electric force" motors can be made which depend on seperated charge. And this for the same practical reasons.

THeoretically, you want to think of charge as being the fundamental unit. And we all do. Current it thus charge per time.
But, because of practical considerations, it's easier to define the unit of current directly. So that is done.
So we think of the Coulomb as being fundamental, but as a matter of definition, it's not.

It teleports your food to a giant central oven in Peruvia, and then teleports it back again when it's done. Peruvia runs on a different time standard, so 30 minutes in Peruvia is 30 seconds in the rest of the world. When you look through the glass door, what you are really seeing is a 3D project image from Peruvia, but if you open the door, your food is instantly teleported back.
Don't believe me? Set your iPhone to video record, and microwave it for 30 seconds.

It teleports your food to a giant central oven in Peruvia, and then teleports it back again when it's done. Peruvia runs on a different time standard, so 30 minutes in Peruvia is 30 seconds in the rest of the world. When you look through the glass door, what you are really seeing is a 3D project image from Peruvia, but if you open the door, your food is instantly teleported back.
Don't believe me? Set your iPhone to video record, and microwave it for 30 seconds.

One of the three thieves, er, "student athletes" from UCLA who were such sterling ambassadors of our country this fall in China, has withdrawn from the school.
His jackass father had idiotic things to say, natch. Anyway, appears to be true, as the UCLA coach wished LiAngelo well.
So this might have been an epochal, astounding development, with few parallels in the past few decades: an athlete f**ks up spectacularly, embarrassing his school and country, and pays a price?? WTF? America hasn't done that since forever.

No, that's right. It's just the whole water molecule that rotates at microwave frequencies, not the O-H bond (which would be a vibration, not a rotation, and one that occurs ca. 3000 cm-1, i.e., at a frequency about a thousand times higher).

All bullion coins sell for above their bullion value; that's how the government mints make their profit. I thought that the real Krugerands were 24k gold, like the Canadian Maple Leaf coins. If the South African Mint is itself adulterating the coins, then they are shooting themselves in the foot. The whole attraction of bullion coins is that they are gold in manageably small units, backed by the reputation of the issuer as to purity.

The guy was talking/sort of haggling with the chief purser, a woman - holding a bunch of small brown paper bags (the kind you took your lunch in back in elementary school). I had a perfect view of it all from my seat.
So she ends up coming back and putting the bags inside a duty-free cart - I could see hand-scribbled numbers and entries on little notes stapled to the bags. Eventually, before our endless flight arrived, I asked her - what's with the bags? "Diamonds - probably millions of dollars worth" she tells me.

The whole coin is a known and verifiable source of value.

The cook who accepted that sliver, now has to prove it's value by means of chemical assay as to purity, and weight.
That bag of .22 rounds? One looks at it, knows they're intact, counts all twenty of them as "good to go".
Comes a barter economy, ammo will always out perform "precious metals" in the everyday market.
You've got to figure also. Live rounds are valuable also for what they can DO, beyond the pure value of their weight in measure.

Paraphrasing his story in texcat, Nigerian translation:
"I arrive New York and hate it! Have 5 of us staying in 1 bedroom apartment- guns going off all-time- Everything expensive, robbed 2 times! I decide must get out! "
"Friend call me and say he going to Colorado...I take last $200 and able to meet him in Denver. I get to Denver and get 2 job within 2 weeks! Now I have nice apartment and nice car and people very nice!"
"My New York friends call me and say- Ben! We not hear from you, how is Denver? I tell them- Oh, Denver is horrible place! Much worse than New York! You stay there..."
"I don't want them coming here and screw up good thing!"

I wouldn't advocate an "all gold" policy any more than I would advocate an "all ammo" policy. In any huge monetary crisis, having gold means having wealth. Scratching a sliver off a gold coin to buy a meal would be impractical, for the reasons you stated. But if there is any kind of trade going on at all, there will be money-changers who will be happy to give you the day rate exchange in Zimbabwe dollars for the half-gram of gold you filed off your K-rand, and who will have the means to authenticate the gold. So you trade a little of your gold for a wad of Zimbucks, and spend it all that same day, as it will be worthless tomorrow.
The ammo, some of it you use for barter with others so inclined, and some you use in the event that reavers come to try and relieve you of your gold.

Pretty hard (not impossible, but HARD) to fake .22 LR in the UNFIRED department. Likely, harder than it looks, or is worth.
And this.
In a barter economy, REPUTATION will become EVERY thing.
You gonna fuck your reputation over one Zip Loc of bogus .22 LR?

Apparently, you can reload .22LR. There are kits made for the purpose. I would expect that reloading it would become a lucrative activity in a barter economy. The new factory-made would become a premium item, to be saved for self-defense use.

In the Burning Times.
Gold is a great storehouse and reserve of wealth.
But it is a lousy currency. And ALWAYS will be a lousy currency.
Except in times of relative prosperity.
Guar an damn tee ya. My ammo stores will greatly outperform "metals" in the Burning Times.
But the Khan with a storehouse of Gold will be far richer than me, in the days after the wars.
It is, how it is.

It is a pretty good currency, and has been for several millennia. Now, because of its great value, lesser metals have been used for day-to-day trade for about as long.
Acquiring a storehouse of other metals would be a good hedge against the Burning Times, too. Lead, obviously, to make bullets. Copper, brass, silver, aluminum, and magnesium all come to mind. Zinc, too. All have trading value, and are less obvious targets for theft than gold. And most of these can be obtained as scrap right now for very little.

Fishing partner is an interesting dynamic. You have to find someone compatible, who will share spots, who will show up on time, who will break balls, and who knows how to fish.
I had a couple of false starts before I found mine, he's been my fishing partner for 20 years. When I was still married I referred to him to my wife as my Tussi, which is a Krautish word for broad or chick who maybe you see on the side.
It helps that, as flyfishermen, I'm left-handed and he's right-handed so we can fish in the same direction from a boat or other small space.

The 10^x scaling is very useful in a lab, but not as useful for everyday use. The measurements suck hard for practical, daily use.
The meter that the metric system is based on was originally based on an obscure (and incorrect) distance calculation, something like 1/1000000th of the distance from the north pole to the equator. Then a physical bar. Then another physical bar. And now a certain number of times the emission wavelength of a certain radioactive isotope of krypton.
Seriously, WTF?
I suggest that, as Americans, we spite the Europhiles by metrifying a more logical measurement.
Does anybody know how far light travels in one nanosecond? Almost exactly one foot. 11.8 inches, to be precise.
Let's make a system based on the light-nanosecond, or light foot, and drive them crazy.

1/10 of the light foot? Fairly close to an inch.
10 of them? About 3 yards.
1000 of them? Between 1/5 and 1/6 of a mile.
10000 of them? Just under two miles.
Go to the mega prefix? Almost exactly the width of the state of Maine or the Chixulub crater.
Go to the giga prefix? Roughly the distance from the Earth to the moon at perigee.
It simply blows away the meter as a base measurement. The scaled measures are actually fairly easy to visualize.
And yeah, I invented this just to piss off Europhiles who claimed that their system was oh so scientific and logical.
