The Quotes of The Day

Quote I

Humanity may endure the loss of everything: all its possessions may be torn away without infringing its true dignity; — all but the possibility of improvement. Johann Gottlieb Fichte

Quote II

I am quite serious when I say that I do not believe there are, on the whole earth besides, so many intensified bores as in these United States. No man can form an adequate idea of the real meaning of the word, without coming here. Charles Dickens

Quote III

Martyrdom... is the only way in which a man can become famous without ability.George Bernard Shaw

Did you miss the "royal wedding"? Here is your chance to watch it.

Amazon isn't just a shopping outlet, it has entered an area that has the ACLU concerned.

Amazon is actively courting law-enforcement agencies to use a cloud-based facial-recognition service that can identify people in real time, the American Civil Liberties Union reported Tuesday, citing the documents obtained from two US departments.

The service, which Amazon markets under the name Rekognition, can recognize as many as 100 people in a single image and can compare images against databases containing tens of millions of faces. Company executives describe deployment by law enforcement agencies as common use case.

Good money if you can get it. Information provider paid over $1,000,000 for said information.

Less than a week after Stefan Halper was outed as the FBI informant who infiltrated the Trump campaign, public records reveal that the 73-year-old Oxford University professor and former U.S. government official was paid handsomely by the Obama administration starting in 2012 for various research projects.

A longtime CIA and FBI asset who once reportedly ran a spy-operation on the Jimmy Carter administration, Halper was enlisted by the FBI to spy on several Trump campaign aides during the 2016 U.S. election. Meanwhile, a search of public records reveals that between 2012 and 2018, Halper received a total of $1,058,161 from the Department of Defense.

Perhaps he can use that money for gastric bypass surgery. Fat and disgusting is no way to go through life.

If "Biff" Kristol ever wants to have a backbone, perhaps he should read PDT from 1987. Oh we know what his backbone is, sending American youth to fight Muslims.

Always a pleasure to read, Mark Steyn explains the deep state in only the way Steyn can.

So will the court system say, What is good for the goose is good for the gander?


Numerous gay couples have set up Christian bakers by asking them to custom-bake cakes celebrating a gay wedding. Many have wondered why they never seem to approach Muslim bakers with that request. Well, now it has happened, only in even more offensive form: Transgender Files 50k Complaint After Muslim Woman Refuses to Wax Genitals.

Earlier this month, a male-to-female transgender filed a $50,000 human rights complaint after a Muslim woman refused to perform a Brazilian wax on his genitals. …

“She never once asked for a leg wax [from] us,” Max Wax manager, president and CEO Jason Carruthers told PJ Media. “She said, ‘Women have penises and women have balls and if your staff is not comfortable they can look for another job.'”

Leave it to a SJW to ruin a little girl's tea party. Until someone she didn't know come to her rescue and commence one hell of a beat down.

SJW Calls Little Girl Racist For Dressing Like Geisha, Gets Destroyed By Japanese Person
This person didn't know what they were in for when they decided to be outraged at a little girl's tea party and white knight on behalf of the entirely Japan.

The ensuing destruction of their argument by a Japanese person must have left them smoldering.

The ONT Musical Interlude



May 23, 2012, Erasmus MC University Medical Center in the Netherlands announced they had drawn clear links between listening to loud music, smoking marijuana and having "risky" sex. The study, published in the Official Journal of the American Academy Of Pediatrics, revealed that young people who listened to loud music on their MP3 players were more likely to have sparked up a joint in the last month. The researchers, surveyed 944 students from inner-city vocational schools aged 15 to 25. via thisdayinmusic.com


No word if Garrett was part of the study.

May 23, 1987, Twelve former members of the Doobie Brothers reunited for a charity concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The show raised $350,000 for Vietnam veterans, about two-thousand of whom attended the show for free. via thisdayinmusic.com

So it's possible to change one's gender multiple times, to even make up genders that no one ever heard of before, but any attempt at using anything from any culture other than the one you are born into is "appropriation" and not to be permitted.

Hannity had Victoria Toensing on (Joe DiGenova's wife, they're in practice together) and she was talking about the setup of Papadopolous. They were trying to get several Trump aides to bite, but they didn't, and it was Papadopolous who fell for it.

They get him to London, make him think he's a big shot, and have in an unfamiliar setting where he won't realize things are amiss.

They used a honey trap on him it, turned out. Had some hot blonde get all friendly with him in that London bar and make sure he got all tanked up. She was the one who made sure he, in drunken stupor, got to chatting with the Australian ambassador.

So, lesson, my fellow babies. When some hot Kbdabear specimen starts getting all chatty cathy with you and rubbing all over you, it's a setup. Your dick wants it to be true, but don't pay any attention to your dick. Listen to your big head.

U.K. Sentencing Council: Six Years in Jail for Wrongthink

Not content to sentence babies to death, aiding and abetting rapists, and protecting Jihadi beliefs, the British have yet again confirmed that the elite want to turn the U.K. into a full Orwellian nightmare: The Sentencing Council for England and Wales wants to throw people who express thoughtcrime in jail (or "gaol" as they say) for up to six years.

I am becoming resigned to the likelihood that the loss of hearing in my left ear is more or less permanent. It's basically white noise and anything I do hear sounds like it's coming from a cheap speaker.

What's particularly distressing is that music, which has a very large part of my life, now sounds distorted, with all kinds of strange overtones and dissonance. But I will listen with whatever the Good Lord leaves me. Stuff like this happens.

46 "We demand that Amazon stop powering a government surveillance infrastructure that poses a grave threat to customers and communities across the country," officials from the ACLU, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Freedom of the Press Foundation, and Human Rights Watch wrote in a letter. "Amazon should not be in the business of providing surveillance systems like Rekognition to the government."

++++

Perhaps someone should remind the retards at the ACLU what "ACLU" actually stands for. Something about civil liberties, I believe. Amazon, is not the government. As a private company, they can't infringe our civil liberties. If the ACLU wants to make demands of anyone, they should figure out a way to direct those demands at a government, if they can figure out how said government is infringing on anyone's civil liberties with this software.

Amazon should tell the ACLU to go piss up a rope.

Wally's going to go bankrupt. They don't have products they had last week. Product placement is changed. It's no fun to go buy cheap when it's not there.

A mozon has a very well laid out site and much better customer service.

Someone claiming to be an employee who works at a store in the loop in Chicago said they hate the new policy because the store bathrooms have turned into a hub for drug activity. "We haven't been allowed to change our bathroom codes since April. So almost all the junkies and homeless people know the code now. About once a week we find needles, drug baggies, blood all over the toilet or walls," the user wrote.

If your eardrum is intact tip your head and pour white vinegar down it. Then, pull your ear lobe and top of you ear alternately causing the vinegar to move around and cut any mucus loose. It will also act as a disinfectant.

If you eardrum is intact there should be no pain except for a slight burning sensation at the point of infection.

166 36 -- Hadrian -- I feel really bad for you. I have loved music since the minute I was born, and it is probably the single most important element in my life. If I were to have happen to me what has happened to you, I know I would pretty much give up on life.

I'm assuming you have consulted with every specialist you can afford. I truly hope there is a solution for you.

172 For some time my working assumption has been the Clintons have billions salted away in off-shore accounts and Swiss Banks.
Then I started thinking of the movie Goodfellas.
Whenever Henry or the others made a score they always had to kick some up to Paulie, who in turn probably had to kick some up to whomever.
How much have the Clintons had to kick up the real bosses?
Also in the movie, the restaurant guy who brought in Paulie as a 'partner' for protection... ended up being gutted... "Fuck You, Pay Me."
Is this why Hilldog is still scratching for cash? To pay the bosses?

And after better than twenty years owning my own shop, I guarantee you I heard every sob story and con coming down the pike. I even called the cops a couple of times.

247 229 Seattle did the public toilet on the street thing a few years back. $500.000 for two of them. Last year they were sold at auction for about $1,000. Drugs and sex were a feature not a bug although I suspect there were lots of bugs in them.

Just what happened in San Francisco, except they bought more than two.

"Let's put some toilets on the street"
"Wait, legally, they have to be handicap-accessible"
(gets quotes)
"hundreds of thousands of $ each? Really?"
"Well, they're huge! And high-tech! Let's buy them anyway!"
"What if the homeless camp out in there?"
"We'll make the doors open after 20 minutes"
"So it will be done"

292 Seattle has tried the bike share thing a couple of times and in different ways. If you didn't bring your own, you also had to rent a bike helmet.
The current iteration has most of the bikes stripped for parts and dumped around town in vacant lots.
This is a city built on seriously steep hills where while it doesn't rain all the time, rains enough through the winter to be slippery as hell.
The current $12 Million per mile bike lanes will cure all ills though. The city used to not use a salt mix for freezing temps because it might run off the streets into the Sound which is of course, salt water.

I used to have a pair of Realistic Optimus 10 direct reflecting speakers. Changed the original 2" conventional tweeters out for titanium ribbon tweeters. Expensive as hell.

Wish I'd have known I could've used stolen bicycle parts instead.

But, y'think that'd have been a "do it myself" project, or would I have had to hire a tweeker to install 'em?

The buses cost nearly $5 million, paid with airport money and federal grants. Wiebke said he didn't yet know how much the airport made in last weekend's auction but added that the 10 buses were priced around $3,000 to $4,000 each.

347 Re electric buses:

"On a sunny morning in spring 2015, BYD rolled out its first five buses for an Earth Day ceremony outside the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority headquarters.

Then the buses were quietly sent back to the factory.

Internal Metro reports show the buses required an "extensive campaign of retrofits, modifications and upgrades to correct irregularities."

More problems arose when they returned months later to carry paying passengers for the first time, daily Metro logs show.

White smoke issued from the rear wheel of #1005. Bus #1004 wouldn't start its second run of the day and on its next run needed a jump-start. Bus #1001 limped back to the depot when its battery dropped to 15% charge after just 68 miles, failing to complete its route. Then, logs show, #1005 stalled on the road.

That was the first 10 days.


In the following months, transit logs show the buses repeatedly stalled on city hills, including a downtown incline a little more than a mile from BYD's Los Angeles headquarters. Once, the driver radioed that the bus was unsafe, rolling backward.

Though Metro was promised a  range of 155 miles per charge, Metro records show the buses never went farther than 133 miles, and were forced back to the garage to recharge in as little as 78 miles. Factoring in breakdowns and other service interruptions, Metro reports show drivers realized no better than an average of 59 miles between charges. Most months, according to Metro records, the buses managed fewer than 400 miles between road calls, requiring emergency service or a return to the garage 10 times worse than the rest of the fleet.


Villaraigosa sidestepped questions at a BYD function last fall about whether the company delivered on its promises and focused instead on what he called "the revolution."

"Electric vehicles are the future," Villaraigosa said.

I told him that the biggest impediment to electric vehicles is our battery technology. When we can create a battery to power an electric car at 70-80 MPH for 350+ miles and recharge from 25% to full in 15 minutes electric cars for the US market will make sense. Until then, they are just toys for rich people (cause they cost too damn much to be simple commuter cars).

Because there should be NO protected classes?

Which is a flip answer. These things always go the same way. The point of the free market is that if this becomes an impediment a rival should rise up and serve the under represented population. Then the original one sees that it is not in their best interest to continue to make business decisions based on politics instead of or actually against monetary gain.

This actually worked with the NFL, who I would like to see go the way of the Dodo. And I 'liked' the NFL. But they started to make decisions not for their fans, but for people who did not even watch football. They should pay the price.

I think the very biggest impediment is the unpredictability of battery life. So the battery is rated for X miles. If, after a number of charging cycles, craps out at X-5 miles, people are going to be pissed.

And yet that is at this point an ineluctable feature of all currently (sorry) available batteries: their lifetimes diminish over time, sometimes unpredictably.

"as far as" is advertising cant, just like "up to". 75 miles is "up to" 400 miles, on a bad day.
And any battery that can store 400 miles worth of energy, and be charged in a few minutes, can potentially release all that energy in a few seconds. In the words of Inspector Clouseau, a "beumb".

And that's where they fall short. Tesla just changes the batteries out...if you can find a Tesla dealer. But when they get that recharge time down to 15 minutes or so, and then get the infrastructure in place, electric cars will indeed be the way to go. They just aren't there yet.

By the way, it's sold for $16/kg (because metric is the future, too!) and the station owner said people usually get 4 kg.

Posted by: qdpsteve at May 23, 2018 11:49 PM (eMKNe)

If we lived in a world quite without fossil fuels, we would probably make synfuels. But failing that, we might have electric cars, but the batteries would all be of a standard design (or maybe several such), and hot-swappable. And there would be battery-exchange stations all over the place. You'd just drive in, they'd measure the remaining energy in your battery, credit you for that, and swap in a fully-charged one. In and out in three minutes, and the depleted batteries could be slow-charged in a dedicated facility.

Alright!Actually, I just got back into it after about a thirty year hiatus.*
Scale I like is 1/48. My era is WWII. My favorites bounce between the F4F Wildcat, P-40 Warhawk, and P-38 Lightning.

My builds have been an SBD Dauntless from the Wasp CV-7. A P-36 Hawk from the Pursuit Group at Pearl Harbor. USS Bogue CVE-9 one of the waterline models that I darn near went blind building. A P-40 Warhawk also from the Pursuit Group at Pearl Harbor.

Painting tips, construction tips, and places to scream about the iniquity of model designers (are you freakin' kidding me? The 20 mm guns on a ten inch long escort carrier come in two parts? And the island in five+?) is what I am looking for.

I am on FacePlant and I have posted pictures of my builds as I am building. Usually it is a long season of painting, then a long season of subsidiary builds, then a brief flourish when it all comes together. Which is a bit anti-climactic.

Anyway, finding a fellow Horde community with models is just too sweet.
We need a weekend model thread.*That last one was about 30 years ago, and it was a 1955 Ford Victoria. I cut the roof of to make it a Sunliner, a convertible. My mom graduated from Michigan State in 1955 and she bought that car in light blue and white. She also bought an Alcort Super Sailfish boat. I have the boat in the garage, I am just starting some work on the front deck.

Long story, I made the model to look like her car (she loved that car).

No, Tesla doesn't do that. Maybe to replace batteries that have reached the end of their useful life.

489 No, Tesla doesn't do that. Maybe to replace
batteries that have reached the end of their useful life. I am talking
about routine battery replacement, on a daily basis, or as needed,
instead of recharging the batteries in place. You never recharge your battery, you just buy the energy, and swap the container. Works just like cylinders for gas barbecues.

You have seen my point! If we (as a society) were serious about electric cars, we would be doing it as I described above. The present model, with home chargers and "fast charging" stations is for dilettantes and poseurs who want to be seen "doing something" about Gerbil Worming. And needless to say, we would have to vastly expand the capacity of the electric grid to do it, probably by adding much more nuclear to the mix. The energy requirements for transportation are staggering.

Posted by: GGE of the Moron Horde, NC Chapter at May 24, 2018 12:07 AM (vbvxt)


Increasing the efficiency of use of a low efficiency fuel doesn't help much because there's no free lunch, thermodynamically. All of these chemical compounds are basically a source of electrons at low electrochemical potential relative to oxygen. When the compound is already partially oxidized - as ethanol is - you've already lost a lot of thermodynamic driving force, but not the weight, the volume, or the expense. (As an extreme example of the principle, consider a proposal to use CO2 as a fuel.)

Liquid hydrogen would be a perfect fuel if it weren't such a bear to handle and transport.

But I assume the Reds and the soccer moms would go nuts about any proposal to do that.

Last weekend I watched a Formula-E race on TV. Formula-E is like Formula1 except the cars are electric. As the race proceeded, they showed each car's remaining charge and I wondered what they would do in the pits to recharge the batteries. Well, sure enough, when the carts pitted the drivers would jump out of the old car and jump into a new fully charged car and drive off.

Is Formula-E some sort of booster event to show how awesome electric cars are? Take 2 cars for each driver for a 40 minute race. That is efficient.

P-40s? The Monogram/Revell P-40B is still a good basic kit. HobbyBoss has an easy build P-40M that appears decent*
https://preview.tinyurl.com/ycj2tjsm

Dauntless? Skip the 1959 vintage Monogram toy. Also skip the Hasegawa kit for issues like non-perforated dive flaps and the bomb fairing is incorrect. Find the Accurate Miniatures kits that cover the SBD-1 to SBD-5.

Tamiya and HobbyBoss both produce good F4F Wildcat kits though the HobbyBoss main landing gear might drive you to drink while assembling.

No opinions on any of the current P-38 kits out there.

*Not all HobbyBoss kits are good. And when paying $30 to $40 a kit it really is inexcusable. Their F6F Hellcat line has an oversized cockpit that can seat Michael Moore plus it is missing the machine gun barrels. Their P-61A first production had no top turret and they made the top too curved to be accurate. Their P-61B has the top turret which they then made oversized.

The collapse of the present electrical grid would be a Hollywood Disaster Film come to life.

Utilities can barely keep pace with the demands of air conditioning on hot, humid days. Remember the California Brownouts? Yeah, thank of that on a National Scale, but turned up to "11".

And all of those "recharging" utilities will be burning natural gas, coal, or isotopes.

Today's computer controlled, Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle technology, already produces total net output levels far below a pure electric vehicle.

Said "net" output" taking into account the fossil fueled powerplants that furnish the recharge.

Tesla vehicles generate far more actual pollution, than does a PZEV Honda or Nissan.

Not to mention the filthy, dirty, stinkin' rotten water contaminating fact of life which is mining for Lithuium, Cobalt and other minerals essential to the 'lectric limo.

I don't see room-temperature superconductors leading to any breakthrough in energy storage. Maybe you could stuff another 300 laptop batteries into a Tesla battery pack because the interconnecting wires would be smaller.
Gasoline cars wouldn't have much range if they had to carry with them all the air used for combustion.

Don't get me wrong, the Tesla acceleration is awesome. But a Carrier Launch has to be the Trump Card* in terms of eyeball flattening acceleration.

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood. Effectively the problem boils down to how to produce or otherwise access electrons at sufficiently low electrochemical potential to release useful amounts of energy when transferred to the terminal electron acceptor (oxygen, in this case). And that's expensive, whether thermodynamically or temporally (the time necessary to collect enough solar energy to generate a useful amount of stored energy).

584 Well, in other news, here at stately Peon Manor, I haven't yet got primary computer back on line, but I have made progress. The BIOS at least recognizes the 500 gig disc with Win7 on it, though it won't boot, and the Windows boot repair utility doesn't help. But I put a Linux Mint DVD in the drive, and booted Mint 18.1 live from the CD, and then used that to browse the Windows HD, and was able to view some of my files. So I am guessing most files are there, yet.

I am leaning towards getting a new hard drive, do a clean Win7 install to it, then run the old HD as a slave, and copy over all my files. Programs, I will reinstall from primary sources.

Maybe it's time to stop trying to force ourselves to "appreciate" inferior cultures. It's time to break ourselves loose from an obsession with what we perceive to be exotic. Just tell them to bugger off. That way we will satisfy the white anti-appropriationists and the minority ones who are looking for opportunities to be offended.

Anyway I work all weekend but I do have Memorial Day off. A rarity. I usually work holidays. I read the NFL thread below. My NFL watching has been in decline for a while. Nothing really to pin point as to how or why, its just declined. The uber wokiness, anti Americanism hasn't helped of course but its more than that. I'd rather watch golf. Really. I do play as often as possible so that might have something to do with it. The NFLPA is run by an Obamabot so expect a push back, which I support. Go all in dummies. Used to watch lots of racing but even thats declined a bit. Indy 500, Monte Carlo, and the 600 mile race in Charlotte is this weekend too. Not sure how much I'll watch. I'm working.

710 "Found this retweeted on Ben Shapiro's feed:

sorry Little Ben ... the only thing the NFL is mandating is that their players don't openly "flip the bird" to their customers. It is not mandated of the crowd, and even the players can opt out by staying off the field. (though the customers will still notice)

Shapiro is smart at times, but has that Trump derangement syndrome. It is the NFL mandating their players not disrespect the fans. That respects the fans' belief in liberty (and their choice to not attend games where players display hate for their country). The "mandate" does nothing to undermine the liberty of free speech, you little twit.

There are all sorts of rules for players that deal with mandates on their actions so they don't harm the NFL's "character". Their huge salaries are part of that agreement, though they still have plenty of criminals on the field. And recall when Dallas players wanted a little insignia to respect the officers slain by the BLM "activist", an NFL mandate refused to allow it. Where were the free speech claims then?

I've done that. Bringing the ship in during a pea-souper fog was no fun at all. The pilot did all the work.

But I did hike from the pier on the Hudson to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In Summer Whites.

Officer the other day, it's the very public shit show that has sprung
up, while the city tries to explain just exactly how the juvenile
justice system works in Baltimore City.
==================================

Sounds good. Hopefully they will be less successful than Broward County has been at evading responsibility this time.

Yvette used to keep a pistol close. Under a pillow? Anyway, I strove to keep her happy. At the time, I was not interested in personal firearms.

Today, I have evolved. We could go to the range. But my wife would object mightily. And she is armed also. Best to move on.

Four things to understand about SPYGATE: 1) There was no spy in the Trump campaign. 2) The spying that did NOT happen was totally justified. 3) It would be bad for national security to identify the spy who doesn't exist. 4) His name is Stefan.
