What Can I Say? It's The ONT

Say, did anyone notice that the World Cup is going on? Does anyone care? Even though I played some soccer as a kid, and enjoyed it, I've never been interested as an adult. If the US is playing I won't turn it off, but that's about as enthusiastic as I can get.

Speaking of Sports


Coach Teaches Team A Powerfully Patriotic Lesson In Respect

What do you do if you coach athletes who want to join in the national kneel-down garbage that's going on? If you're Coach Williams, you take away their chairs and give them to veterans:

“These guys, when they were your age, interrupted their life, they paused their education, they changed their career, and they gave their life for those chairs,” Williams says. “So when the anthem is played, we’re going to stand like grown men and we’re going to honor men like this, that gave their life, so we can have a chair to sit in.” The impassioned coach then had his players line up, right there in the middle of the arena, directly across from US veterans. Then, side-by-side, the players and the veterans sing the National Anthem as one. 


I remember when coaches used to view it as their job to coach their kids in life as well as sports. Coach Williams does too, I'll bet.

ONT Book Thread

Not to step on OM's toes, but I'm reading this book again.

TLC.jpg

I have to say, I like it. The last 2/3 of the book is a pretty good yarn. The first 1/3....I wish it was annotated, I'd use it as a civics text. He spends a lot of time setting up the world that the adventure takes place in, and in the process creates a damn good argument for conservative free market principles. Some of the stuff he lays out in my field I know is true, some of the stuff in other fields I believe to be correct, but I wish it had cites. Anyone else read this?

Titan Has More Oil Than Earth

So, the question I have is, if oil is a critically limited resource because it is the result of decayed dinosaurs, how on Earth did so much of it got on Titan, hmm? Really, it's a serious question. We all know the doomsday predictions of “peak oil” from a few decades back have proven to be bullshit, but I thought that was just because we discovered a lot more. Maybe, however, oil isn't as finite a resource as we were led to believe. I dunno. Any petroleum geologists in the house?

Shocking number of Americans have sex at work


A better title might be “Shocking number of Americans claim to have sex at work”. Do lots of people really do this? I mean, I've had sex at work, but not in 30 years or so. (I was the manager of a movie theater. The last shows of the evening were running, everything was shut down, all the other employees had left and my girlfriend cornered me in the projection booth) I can't imagine doing it now. Is it really that common?

Woman claims drinking her dog’s urine cleared up her acne

 “Many of you have asked me how I always look so good, how my makeup always looks so perfect, or how I always have this natural glow.”

Until I first drank my dog’s pee, I was depressed, I was sad, and I had bad acne.”

Now she looks great and feels, but unfortunately she's got worms.

Really, really, really bad news: There's video at the link. Oh. Boy.

55 Very little oil on earth is from dinosaurs. Mostly decayed plants but oil can be abiotic - that is, not from decaying dead things. Just start with methane and wait. (assuming the right conditions, duh)
Earth had a lot of methane early on - I imagine some of that got turned to oil.

Titan has been around for billions of years. it's lousy with methane. Not a surprise that there's been some conversion of methane to petroleum.

There are fringe theories that there are tremendous resources of abiotic oil deeper in the earth. When people tried drilling in likely places they found only trace amounts of oil. Hard to test stuff like that without spending $100s of millions on drilling. Wanna contribute?

It's bound to be much easier to get into and get a game moving with the only requirement being one ball. I guess our most similar non-soccer game is basketball.

Titan - hydrocarbons - all you need are hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon. Maybe a few other odd atoms and you get hydrocarbons.

Think of the solar system as a fractional distillery. The ion stream coming off the sun as your input, the various condensates collect at discrete distances from the sun. Titan happens to be where the hydrocarbons condense out of the ions streaming off the sun.

Simple, really.

Earth has finite resources, but we have the entire solar system at our disposal, which has resources that dwarf Earth's.

So we don't really need to be talking about tightening our belts and making do with less, do we?

About the oil on Titan. With a methane atmosphere there is a path to higher hydrocarbons.

On Earth I have come to believe that microorganisms in the crust are responsible for some methane production, and subsequent formation of higher hydrocarbons over time. The dinosaurs did their part, but there is more to discover in this.

This idea all started with data from a deep Swedish mine in 1982. So there is a potential biome that helps Exxon.

107 I also have re-read The Last Centurion multiple times, and expect to re-read it multiple times in the future.

Some of it is very strong on Message, but since it is Message that I agree with, I don't haven any trouble with it. For example, he discusses how truly rare it is in the world that someone might loan a lawn mower to a neighbor. In most places that lawn mower would never come back and the person "borrowing" it would be thinking "what a sucker this moron is", where in the USA the majority of people would be thinking "I need to return this in good condition."

There is one thing I have always wondered about. In the novel, clearly the President of the USA is Hillary Clinton (and the narrator/protagonist loathes her, for good reason as the events of the book show). In the book the name of the POTUS is given as "Warrick". I understand giving a fictional name to make it less likely he would be sued for libel or something, but I'm wondering where the name "Warrick" came from. Is it just random?

I did a Google search for "Clinton Warrick" and found that there is an Army combat medic named "Clinton Warrick" who was awarded a Silver Star for actions he took in 2006. Maybe it's as simple as that.

The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris discusses how dissimilar human breasts are to other primates. A very interesting book written in the 1960s -- it may have been extra popular because some people were expecting a "dirty" book but it's actually from the point of view of a zoologist.

So, bewbs are scientific as well as ornamental.

127 There are actually lots of hydrocarbons out in the outer solar system... the "Cthulhu" region on Pluto is basically a big ol' pit of tar formed by frozen methane (natural gas) being irradiated for billions of years. (Someday, when the stars are right, Big Oil will eat Cthulhu. Chevron ftagn! Chevron ftagn!)

That makes sense when you consider that carbon is one of the most common atoms in the universe and hydrogen is the most common. Of course there's going to be tons of hydrocarbons around. Titan just happens to be the biggest and closest one, so you get literal seas of oil you could sail around on rather than frozen hydrocarbon ice. Ligeia Mare alone has a volume of some 50 trillion barrels of oil, and the Kraken Mare is even bigger, and there are plenty of other oil lakes/seas there.

The really neat thing about Titan is that you could use it like a natural refinery for materials in comets. Drop a comet on Titan - the water ice will freeze out on the surface, the hydrocarbons will turn to vapor and eventually rain out into its seas, and the nitrogen will just end up in the atmosphere.

134 >> The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris discusses how dissimilar human breasts are to other primates.

It's quite an evolutionary mystery. We are the only mammals where breasts have sexual function as well as mammary function. In all other mammals, the breasts only enlarge during nursing, then go back down.

But human females developed these permanently enlarged breasts, with nerve pathways right to the orgasmic centers of the brain.

Why this happened is unknown.

241 My faculty advisor in college was Thomas Gold. At least at that time, he was one of the physicists who believed there was evidence for that theory. "

He would have been interesting to meet, that was a rare privilege. Thomas Gold was able to talk some deep pockets into test drilling a few sites that conventional oil and gas geology said would have nothing, but which his theories said should be productive.

lots of money was spent - and unfortunately, nothing was found except a few traces, certainly nothing in commercial amounts. That was the end of people asking Thomas Gold where to drill.

it reminds me of a South African economics professor that I adored, a real genius who taught me much. He would tell us of a magnificent theory he had that would identify new gold deposits in South Africa, and he actually got some big consortium to back him with a big project.

There's a really neat one, title escapes me (starts with a "T", Tuleriad...something like that) that follows a group of the Posleen after they lose to the humans. Ends up the Posleen were genetically modified and aren't the 1-D monsters in the core novels. The Pope is concerned about their souls and sends a missionary to them, protected by the Swiss Guard, to convert them to Catholicism.

His momma has tried to push him to play soccer, so have his teachers at school. But anytime he gets on the field and ball comes towards him, he picks it up and runs away from all the other players until they catch him, and it's hard because he's a fast little bugger. No one told him to do that, in fact everyone tells him not to, but he does it anyways.

I look at him and say "yup, that's an American Football player right there!"

I'm of two-minds of this.

I grew up in the 80s. Most kids played unorganized ball - and a small percentage of kids played ALL of the organized school sports. And even then, at my school, the School Admin bemoaned how little School Spirit we all had.

I thought - and still do - that paying for Organized School Sports is a waste of damn money. But I'd be all for Public Schools administering Club Sports for all ability levels.

356 Very little oil on earth is from dinosaurs. Mostly decayed plants but oil can be abiotic - that is, not from decaying dead things. Just start with methane and wait. (assuming the right conditions, duh)
Earth had a lot of methane early on - I imagine some of that got turned to oil.

Titan has been around for billions of years. it's lousy with methane. Not a surprise that there's been some conversion of methane to petroleum.

There are fringe theories that there are tremendous resources of abiotic oil deeper in the earth. When people tried drilling in likely places they found only trace amounts of oil. Hard to test stuff like that without spending $100s of millions on drilling. Wanna contribute?

Posted by: Arthur G Kimes at June 21, 2018 10:04 PM (46ghQ)

Agree. There never were enough dinosaurs to account for the volume of oil, anymore than future civilizations would expect to find oil made from decomposed elephants.

Since commercial oil is almost invariably found in rock of marine origin, one would suspect that single-celled marine life, both plants and animals, which exist in huge quantities, would be the source material.

I think "abiotic" oil is possible chemically, but pretty unlikely geologically, because the one thing that is lacking in rocks at the great depths needed to be in the right temperature regime is porosity, i.e. space to put the damned stuff. No porosity, no reservoir.

358 Golf is fun to play, but then, so is darts, or billiards. It's really an activity, not a sport.



And it's deadly boring to watch. An overweight guy dressed like a

that much excitement.

Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara, now with a spark of divinity at June 21, 2018 10:58 PM (L+DZm)

wow., now we are getting to it lol. I hear ya. First of all, unless it is Tiger Woods, no one cares about watching golf who does not play, so there is that. Secondly, golf has been argued over forever as to whether it is a "sport" or "activity" and whether pro golfers are "athletes". These are just terms, and terms that in many ways do not fit with golf.

Modern professional golfers are athletes compared to those who came before. The fat guy on the PGA Tour exists, but he is an exception. The average PGA Tour golfer walks 5-10 miles a day, not once in a while, but every day. And he pounds a ton of balls to boot.
What it comes down to is some people care about golf and some don't. That will never change. To those who have not been brought up in the golf world, or been bitten by the bug, the whole thing seems preposterous. But here is the thing. Golf is by FAR the most difficult mainstream sport to be good at. You can't compare it to darts, bowling, or the others, they are just not in the same league. The average joe can practice basketball and play horse with his work buddies, but he can't play 18 by the rules without shooting 120 and losing all his balls. You don't shoot at a basketball hoop and miss by 40 yards.
Also, there have been many world class athletes that publicly plroclaimed their love for golf and their desire to "turn pro" as their second life venture. How many have actually pulled it off? The answer is ZERO. From Ty Cobb to Michael Jordan, to even Steph Curry. These guys will tell you they love golf MORE than their first sports, they all have tried to get to a pro level. And not a single one could do it. Curry still has a chance, so i am saying their is a chance.
One last thing. l people wonder why golf is on tv all the time if it is so boring and gets poor ratings. Here is the secret. Golf ratings mean more than say football ratings. A golf 2 percent rating is more valuable than a football or Monster truck 2 percent rating. I bet people can figure out why. The reason is the golf audience buys more stuff, and more valuable stuff.
The point is not about audiences, but when people say golf is not a sport. I say fine, but can you do it well? Golf is the one sport I know where it is normal to suck. It is that difficult.

Anyway, just some info on the sport and just mho. No offense to anyone.

My favorite athlete this coming year will be Patrick Mahomes, a local high school star here who made it big - played college ball at Texas Tech. Scouts say he may be one of the best all-around athletes they've seen in a long time. All through high school, he wasn't just one of the best pitchers in the state at that level, he also led his team in home runs, AND he was the starting QB in the fall. He made the decision that he really loved football the most, hence the contract with Kansas City, but scouts have said that if he had chosen to go the other way, he had a guaranteed million dollar deal pitching for any MLB team in the country. It's almost sick to imagine someone with that much raw talent.

When I lived in Europe, we had a departmental soccer game. Now I'd been a wideout back in the day, i.e., fast, not big enough to butt heads with the hogs, and someone who dreaded running patterns over the middle.

I had the soccer ball when some relatively little dude stepped in front of me. I'd spent my football time running around/ or cutting people who had 40-50 pounds on me, but this little a-hole was not big enough to inspire that response. Son, you're not big enough to be stepping in front of people. You should be cutting me.

So, reflexively, I dropped a shoulder and freight-trained him. Having been on the wrong end of more freight-trainings than I care to remember, I came to appreciate the appeal.

Everyone was upset. Only then did I realize that soccer is like basketball.

OTOH, nobody stepped in front of me the rest of the game.

Think of the solar system as a fractional distillery. The ion stream coming off the sun as your input, the various condensates collect at discrete distances from the sun. Titan happens to be where the hydrocarbons condense out of the ions streaming off the sun.

Nah, it's basically lawn hockey.

A closer corollary is rugby, though.

It's strategically similar, even if it looks like football on the source.

Yes, there's use of hands, and tackling, and rucks.

But, it has the lack of a forward pass, broad offside rules, scrums, and no blocking.

The end result is a soccerlike game, where every offensive play after the scrum is basically a scissor or a swinging gate. But, you could die. That's really the big difference.

Cross the Stars. It is the Odyssey.

His Northworld books are pretty good too, they are based on the Icelandic sagas.
Posted by: Kindltot at June 21, 2018 11:06 PM (2K6fY)

His later Leary and Mundy space operas are usually derived from some early Roman Greek city state wars.

Cross the Stars is one of his more direct retellings set in his Hammer's Slammers worlds.

His Elements series are set in an alternate Rome, where magic and monsters find his protagonists.

He has a space opera trilogy based on Drake and Raleigh fighting the Spanish Empire. That series and his Redliners book really helped him excise his ghosts from his time in VN.

By the way, his books can be bloody, and horrific. He does not sanitize the costs of violence. The motto of his protagonists is usually, "Do what is Necessary, Regardless." (The key word is necessary, not regardless.)

I am not a science guy by any stretch. By education an Electrical Engineer and by trade a Salesman.

That said, I have heard it posited the the Middle East of old (tens or hundreds of millions of years) was once the greenest areas that the planet has ever known, more than the tropical rain forests. Then, also that long ago, a very large comet/meteor struck earth and changed the planet's weather patterns into largely what we see today, burying that plant life under miles on earth and sand in a now dry and arid climate.

Hence, the oil and a pretty good theory of what seems like sudden massive extinctions of species.

I read Igniting the Reaches so many times it is now falling apart.

His Venus books, collected in The seas of Venus is supposed to be based on Henry Kutner's work but it is soooo based on Murray Leinsters Mad World books (he wrote a lot of versions)

The Redliners book is also drawing heavily from Leinster (including the whole Lawler drive), with what is probably some Harry Harrison's Deathworld, and the bureaucracy that looks surpisingly like the Instrumentality of Mankind from Cordwainer Smith.

But to be honest, he is a fantastic writer, not for his scenery or new plots, but how his people act like people and his prose . . . is like clear pools in mountain streams.

430 IIRC - abiotic oil does exist and is continuously naturally manufactured within the earth. But it is believed to be only in insignificant quantities because science.

However, I no longer trust leftist infested science. and I'm an Engineer for crying out loud. The stanford experiment was faked. Nothing coming out of leftist academia is credible anymore.

Tinfoil hat time - If, IF - oil wasn't actually a fossil fuel, the green lobby, Saudi Arabia, and the rest would throw every penny they have to discredit abiotic oil. Hell, the SPLC would declare the abiotic oil to be a hate chemical and put you on a list for discussing it. To much money to be made of global warming peak oil carbon credit nonsense. Tinfoil hat off.

But again, IIRC there is no way to ever prove large quantities of abiotic oi because what are you going to do, build three dozen earth sized test planets and observe them over millions of years to see what conditions generate oil and in what quantity?

Sara Sanders was correct, this was signed into law at the end of the GWB Administration and has been in practice for 10 years.

I read a story, but did not save it damnit, that this suddenly came to be such an overwhelmingly important because a Dem strategist looked around and said "You need a campaign issue for the mid terms, and your party has nothing except Trump hate."

Thus, a 10 year old issue became an overnight firestorm, with complete media coordination.

Problem is, they shot this wad in June and it will be gone by November, because PDT decided to kneecap them with an EO, specifically stating that he needs Congress to act on legislation because he can not EO the Flores 20 day minor hold act ruling.

So, he did what they asked, and EOd. And tossed a 20 day hot potato right back to Chuck You Schemer. Good luck with that in the Mid Terms, Chucky!

Sorry to have to break this to you, Tom.

I remember that one fateful day when Coach too me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

After the show, I stopped in at the Circle K for a snack and a cold Diet Pepsi. Some of the makeup from the Tin Man character is still on my face.

I take my purchases to the counter, where the cashier gives me a strange, quizzical look.

Many thanks. Interesting that people are blaming it all on Trump then. Seems people and news outlets haven't gotten this info. It's also too bad Trump didn't sign the EO when Ivanka brought him the pics. I knew he'd sign it, but those extra days allowed tons of money to be raised to bring in more illegals. That grates on me.

Then the coat Melania wore kept it all going. Even from people who like her. One site had 5000 comments last I checked...just about the damn coat! Gotta say, from a PR standpoint...not a good choice. Makes me wonder what the story is. I mean, did she even pick it out, or did a stylist hand it to her. Fire the stylist. Timing was bad.

529 Many thanks. Interesting that people are blaming it all on Trump then. Seems people and news outlets haven't gotten this info. It's also too bad Trump didn't sign the EO when Ivanka brought him the pics. I knew he'd sign it, but those extra days allowed tons of money to be raised to bring in more illegals. That grates on me.

Then the coat Melania wore kept it all going. Even from people who like her. One site had 5000 comments last I checked...just about the damn coat! Gotta say, from a PR standpoint...not a good choice. Makes me wonder what the story is. I mean, did she even pick it out, or did a stylist hand it to her. Fire the stylist. Timing was bad.

But good point about this being drowned out by November.

531 Hi, I'm not completely caught up on the comments, only up to 380 or so. But I'm surprised no one has yet explained the biological origin of oil. When I was a geology student it was believed that oil started out in closed ocean basins, where the plankton and foraminifera and stuff didn't rot when they died and sank to the bottom, because it was an anaerobic environment. Eventually they were covered with silt and stuff that eventually turned to stone and the heat and pressure turned the corpses of all those tiny critters into oil, which either stayed where it was (as in oil shale) or flowed upward toward the surface of the earth (tar pits, oil seeps, oil reserves over salt domes, etc.) AFAIK that is still the general understanding of the origin of oil.

Bo Jackson recently said he would never have chosen the NFL if he had it to do over again. Baseball is the way to go if you really want to make it and make a long career. Of course it is as hard as any possible endeavour, but if you have that skill, football over baseball makes no sense. Same thing with golf. But the number of people able make a living playing professional golf is way smaller than those who could play baseball, football or basketball.

The PGA Tour exempts 125 people, with a smaller number making the "minor leagues aka Web.com and European Tour. Think about that, basically 2 people per state can legitimately make a living playing golf at the the major league levels. That is not many btw.

I was at the Portland Swap Meet (antique car parts) this past April, and there was a dude there all costumed up as the Tin Woodman. A very excellent costume it was too, including the aluminum face makeup, and the funnel cap set at a rakish angle, too. Looked like he had just walked off the set of the film. I asked his permission, and took a picture of him.

There are actually lots of hydrocarbons out in the outer solar system...
the "Cthulhu" region on Pluto is basically a big ol' pit of tar formed
by frozen methane (natural gas) being irradiated for billions of years.
(Someday, when the stars are right, Big Oil will eat Cthulhu. Chevron
ftagn! Chevron ftagn!)



That makes sense when you consider that carbon is one of the most
common atoms in the universe and hydrogen is the most common. Of course
there's going to be tons of hydrocarbons around. Titan just happens to
be the biggest and closest one, so you get literal seas of oil you could
sail around on rather than frozen hydrocarbon ice. Ligeia Mare alone
has a volume of some 50 trillion barrels of oil, and the Kraken Mare is
even bigger, and there are plenty of other oil lakes/seas there.



The really neat thing about Titan is that you could use it like a
natural refinery for materials in comets. Drop a comet on Titan - the
water ice will freeze out on the surface, the hydrocarbons will turn to
vapor and eventually rain out into its seas, and the nitrogen will just
end up in the atmosphere.

On oil:

I knew some people in New Orleans in the late 80's. A friend whose
friend was working oil rigs doing exploration drilling said they kept
finding oil, would tell the boss, and he'd tell them "no, nothing is
there - cap it." His theory was that the government did think we would
run out, so we were pulling oil from the middle east and saving ours for
when the rest of the world ran low. Interesting.

Sound familiar? Plausible?

If I can educate one to believe negative thoughts about one's own existence and nature to the point which one suffers psychologically and is less functional, then can it can be rationalized that the process of "educating" people is not necessarily a positive sum gain?

The root in Latin "ductare" means to lead, + "ex", prefix for out. So, education means to lead someone out from, as has been assumed, a situation of ignorance.

Currently it seems more like subductation.

There is a point there. It would be nice to think people could at least come to agree on a basic education. We should agree on at least reading, mathematics, science etc. Then you come to history and civics. This requires some amount of societal cohesiveness. It shouldn't, because these are not old wives tales, history is as much an academic pursuit as any other. If people can support their argument using the Socratic Method and primary sources, those points should stand by themselves. But people today view everything through their political prism. So history and civics are demeaned and diminished.
I think it was Adams (and others) who said we should be a libertarian society, a society that lets men do what they want as long as they hurt no one else. But a free, libertarian republic relies on men who hold goodwill toward others. To men who are pious and hold to a greater good. In the end, the idea is yes we are a society of free men, but this society can only prosper if the society is also good and righteous.

Auf deutsch, if you'll pardon the language of Fritz, it's "Ausbildung"... very similar to the idea of drawing out, leading out, almost like spinning wool.

Maybe they ought to change the word for "Education" to something like Reinstechen

Or better yet, just use the existing English word.

i took a Ringo book back to the library today, but only because it was a "zombie" book, and i'm just not in the mood for that this week. nothing wrong with the writing, just my bad for not cracking it open before i grabbed it. (and the PC bitches in my AO have shit for SF on the shelf, because icky.)

John Ringo isn't Raymond Chandler, but, when i crack open one of his tomes, that isn't what i'm looking for anyway.

I'm veryy sorry, but I have a very bad stomach ache this morning and
I won't not be able to get to the final today. Is there any way I
could schedule a rescheduled make-up? I heard that the Germans will
still be in town for the rest of this week, so I am hopping this might
be possible to arrange a make-up invasion.

Glad to see a shoutout to Ringo's "Centurion", one of my favorites -- and now at the top of my reread list. In an amazing book tie-in, it hit the shelves right when the bird flu outbreak occurred in China. And now we are entering a period of low sunspot activity. It piqued my interest in disaster prep and introduced me to the concept of high trust societies.

774 Good morning. Another rainy day here, and a text came though for our area to limit inside water usage. Seems the sewer lines are nearing capacity. Lucky for me it doesn't affect my block when this happens, it's the poor buggers down the street. The village has been trying for 7 years to figure out where the water comes from. Everybody had to have an inspector come in to make sure you didn't have a sump pump or gutters draining into the sewer. No results. They've had crews come out and scope all the sewers. Same thing. Last fall they smoked the sewer because they were claiming the lines from the houses to the main line might be cracked and letting in ground water (BS) and still it happens.

What a mess for the peope down the street though. It's the low end of the area and I'm sure basements will flood again

Whar I do remember is "Eugene 330" an old off shore well in the gulf was reopened after being capped for decades to see if they could get some oil out by pumping steam in. When they uncapped it, BAM! There was oil. It was a producer again. Even a higher rate than it's heyday. I believe WOODS Oceanographic Institute did the study. They came up with a theory that it is naturally occurring deep in the earth, where Algore says it millions of degrees. I am sure some other moron already posted on this.

The way I see it is he would have had to be carrying with a round in the chamber, the hammer cocked and safety off for it to go off so easily ... risky way to carry I would think. How are you instructed to carry when going through training... I am guessing that one in the chamber is ok but you should not have the hammer cocked and of coarse safety on. That way if you need to shoot, then just take safety off and you are shooting in double action ...

819 Just read about John McCains staff prodding the iIRS to harass tea party groups.

A tumor is too easy a way for that disgusting, treasonous POS to go.

823 The way I see it is he would have had to be carrying
with a round in the chamber, the hammer cocked and safety off for it to
go off so easily ... risky way to carry I would think. How are you
instructed to carry when going through training... I am guessing that
one in the chamber is ok but you should not have the hammer cocked and
of coarse safety on. That way if you need to shoot, then just take
safety off and you are shooting in double action ...



anyone carrying care to enlighten me (what do I know about CC , I live in Cali) .... ?

That FBI agent's gun didn't "go off" when it hit the ground, it went off
when he picked it up and put his finger on the trigger.

I carry with a round in the chamber. No safety on a Glock.

Go to youtube there are videos out there of a guy who shows how incredibly dangerous it is to carry without a round in the chamber. By the time you draw and rack the slide in a situation odds are you have already been stabbed, shot or knocked senseless. He demonstrates how quick something can get ugly before you could load a gun.


Bottom line is it is a personal decision on how you carry. Yes there is an increased risk carrying with a round in the chamber but unless the gun has been damaged simply dropping it on the floor or ground will not make a round go off.

824 Yep.

I train with my HK USP cocked and locked. When I draw, muscle memory clicks the safety off. No time lost.

Racking the slide is Hollywood.

You gotta rack it two or three times to do it right. I saw it in a movie.

827 sometimes you have to keep racking a shotgun until you get ready to shoot it. Keeps the shells fresh.

829 And one more thing. I also own a Glock 17, 2nd gen. I could chamber a round and drop it from the roof of my house and it will not go off. The internal safety keeps the firing pin from having any tension until the trigger is pulled.

My boy Toby Dog couldn't tolerate the cancer meds so I stopped them. I fed him by hand and he didn't seem to be in pain for quite a while.

Then one morning, I was trying to feed him a small bit of shredded chicken (which he normally loved) and he looked me straight in eye and turned his head away to say no. I knew then, at a fundamental level, that he was telling me "My race is done." I called the vet immediately. By the time she got here, he had almost passed in my arms.

FWIW, I think the final great gift you can give your pets is a vet house-call and a Rainbow Bridge passage in familiar surroundings.

835 f'd, we're here for you. The Horde, especially Tim, got me through one miserable morning waiting for the vet to come and lead Sasha to the Rainbow Bridge.

There's almost nothing worse than watching a beloved pet cross the finish line.

Tell us more about your pup, please.

837 Hrothgar, I am very sorry. You are excellent for being with him in his final moments.

Posted by: WitchDoktor, AKA VA GOP Sucks at June 22, 2018 07:43 AM (++G28)

838 I've stopped his meds too because they seem to just make him sick to his stomach. He stopped eating a couple of days ago. He had some milk this morning that I gave him because he is so stopped up and he finished that.

Thanks you guys. I will probably be around here all day but will try not to be a drag. My problems ain't a hill of beans compared to what others are going thru.

840 Watching some show/movie where the hero is claiming that he only has 3 rounds left after a shoot out in one room with his semi auto handgun. As he walks to the door of the next room, he racks a round and you can hear the one that was in the gun hit the floor. Ooops, only 2 left now idjit

Posted by: Bruce at June 22, 2018 07:48 AM (8ikIW)

841 Oh, Hrothgar, I wish I could have done that.

I lost my poor Theda a couple of years back. She was sick with something - no-one could figure out what - so we took her to the animal hospital. She seemed to be doing better, so much so that we were told she could come home the next day.

So that evening, we walked her around the parking lot of the hospital, kissed and hugged her, told her we loved her and left.

The next day, I got a call from the hospital. Theda had taken a turn for the worse and they already had her on life support. By the time I got there, she was lying stiff on a bed, breathing tubes the only thing keeping her going. She couldn't move or blink or anything. I knew she was gone.

It hurt so much. I crawled into a bottle. In some ways, I've never really come back out.

844 Very sorry for your loss Hrothgar. I have been too many times myself. I also have the vet come out to the house when it's time. That is the best way

Posted by: wing at June 22, 2018 07:50 AM (RSMz4)

845 That's what friends are for, f'd.

Posted by: creeper at June 22, 2018 07:50 AM (/iTaa)

846 sad day, Hrothgar - I can sympathize completely, and I think you were right. About 3 weeks ago, a little cat I'd had for 14 years passed much the same way, I had gotten quite attached to her - always loved to sleep on the end of the bed, always followed me around the house or yard, just to keep an eye on what I was up to. Anyway, she had an abdominal tumor, and it wasn't operable, and I knew it was getting worse. But she tried and kept on going, until that last day she refused to eat anything at all, and just lay on the back patio watching the back yard, which was her domain. Like you, I had the strong feeling that she knew that it was time. I didn't get to the vet, by midday she laid her head down and passed.

848 Kas is a white GSD. 9 years old. Smart and fearless like most German Shepherds. Grew up with our boys. Never complained, even when he was toting a huge tumor around on his tail. That was removed and he was pretty happy for a few months after that. He has had a good life, a little shorter than average for a GSD. He's a good dog and loved life and his humans.
