Surprise: Prissy Leftwing Bureaucrat Throws Wild Pitch Into the Dugout

He was as accurate with that pitch as he was with his claims that masks weren't helpful.

Oh that's right, Fauci has clarified that he wasn't wrong in telling the public not to wear masks because they weren't helpful in blocking the spread of covid.

He explained that when he said that he was lying to the public, so that they would not wear masks, and would leave them for our Brave Nurses.

The important thing is that Fauci gets more Zoolander shots in Vanity Fair, though.

Open thread.

79 Fauci's throw wasn't off. MLB's model for Fauci's throw was mis-calibrated.

MLB should've adjusted the mound, the field, and the location of home plate while the ball was in mid-flight, so that by the time the ball reached the plate it would be in the strike zone.

I went to my grandson's American Legion final home game. It was great fun. Normally they would be playing for another few weeks, but many teams have shut down because of the Yellow Peril.

They only had a few teams they could play and the Legion wouldn't consider them "official" but they didn't stop them from using the fields or equipment. They even gave them insurance. The boys had a great time playing this year and seemed grateful they got to play at all.

Maybe my Twinkies will do well next year. Or maybe I will care one way or the other. We'll see.

Unless they figure they can jack up the prices now that they are collectors items.

The Washington Baseball Team.

They should have a sponsor's name in the Team.

On his podcast yesterday, Dan Bongino was talking about how baseball was already in trouble due to a declining fan base. He said he knows people who work for the league and it's in more trouble than they let on. I guess MLB has decided that being woke is more important than not giving the middle finger to a lot of their fans and lose all of those loyal fans

213 Baseball is dripping with white supremacy. The idea that black players are forced to run to bases, forced to run to catch a ball in the same way their slave ancestors were forced to work quickly in the fields. Rushing to complete a task is such a white concept. Black players are encouraged to steal bases, learning a behavior which will lead to confrontations with police and imprisonment when applied off of the field.

Think about the pressure all that water is exerting on a dam face that was built as a straight light, not concave to help resist the water pressure like we see at Hoover.

Then think about the ground beneath that is being squeezed by the weight of the dam and the water.

Tickledpink had some real issues. By that I mean that anyone who pretends to have that many issues for that long, has issues.

What I've always found fascinating on the net is that if someone talks or writes long enough, then no matter who they claim to be, who they are pretending to be, the real self eventually stands out from the pretense.

The real problem is the time of concentration. Even if it stops raining right now, all the runoff from previous rains on the edge of the watershed still has to get to the dam. So the water surface elevation at the dam will continue to rise even after the rain stops. Given the size of the watershed, I'd say the water is going to rise for a good long time.

There are no active nuclear plants along the Yangtze River

Current water levels over 162 meters and rising. (top of dam 185.5m).

Current weather patterns show heavy rain over the next week. Official rainy season starts at the end of the month.

From the farthest point of the water shed, it take 90 hours to hit the 3G dam. Most of the major tributaries above 3G do no have active flood control.

And yes, Wuhan is already flooding.

I'm not a structural engineer but I've watched youtube videos vaguely related to the topic.

Cavitation and other hydrodynamic effects on the structure can run away pretty quickly and lead to failure. And the chinese aren't well known for being sticklers about material quality.

Dams are meant to hold water and release it through the turbines to supply power.

Spillways are of short terms control and that means hours of use...not days / weeks.

The erosive capabilities of that much water being released at the rate of speed this is currently being measured. Holy cow, they better have poured some really stout concrete.

Of course GM did some weird shit there, too, vacuum-powered washer pumps, and the ones driven by a cam in the wiper motor.

I had a 1969 beetle for a couple of years in college. Souped the little bugger up. 1970 was the "super beetle" that had a curved windshield and McPherson struts (bug trivia)

The thing that got to me was the "cricket" sound it made on the freeway. That high-pitched whine that'd make you start going deaf. I drove that thing from Oregon to CA frequently, on the mountainous roads with black ice and lumber trucks.

Had a friend with a 1970 that got picked up by a breeze from a passing truck and thrown onto a hillside. One thing you never had to worry about was a non-functioning heater. Sometimes I'd accidentally drop a cassette down on the floor and it would land (and melt) next to a heater duct.

I was just going to say the #1 cause of death in VW's was that. The way the carburetor was set up, it was over the freaking manifolds, and a nasty cheap fabric fuel line feeds it. I can't even count how many people I knew that drove those things and watched them die in a fire. When I replaced my carb with a 4 barrel, I also replaced the fuel line with braided steel.

618 Fauci is an academic POS who doesn't take care of patients. A metaanalysis of 17 separate medical studies that evaluated the ability of masks to stop the spread of influenza showed ABSOLUTELY NO BENEFIT to wearing masks.

Masks worn in the operating room protect surgery patients from BACTERIAL infections vis a vis OR personnel sneezing, coughing or drooling into the patient's surgical incision. Masks do NOT protect against viral spreading of disease. There is NO science that supports this insanity...but tyrants in political positions...supported by no-nothing epidemiological assholes like Fauci...want to force all of us to waste our time and bow down to political tyrants by forcing the worthless mask wearing.

714 The worst of that looks to be below the dam, but the area immediately above it is still getting substantial rainfall. The real danger is in the areas further upstream that collectively drain into the reservoir. 5 tributaries each draining half a meter of rain is a whole lot worse than one meter falling on the reservoir itself.
Posted by: f2000 at July 23, 2020 09:05 PM (IIUCn)

The upstream are around Chungking is the hot spot.

And you hit the nail on the head, all that water coming from some major tributaries is trouble.

It's called a no-win situation. You don't like the side of the no-win that Trump chose.

Meanwhile, *I* think he chose it because he is prioritizing winning in November vs. letting terrorists who have openly stated they are going to get rid of white people, destroy America and remake the entire Western World in a replay the most nightmare hellish images of the 20th Century. Why do I think that? Because it's totally fucking obvious.

I guess that makes me a mask-lover who wants torture you and your family with masks forever and boy what a dummy I am for believing Democrats will try wipe us out with their terror squads and the full backing of the Federal Government the first chance they get because they keep telling me that's what they're going to do, and like an idiot I'm listening.

I'm not sure about that. He seems to have gone over the edge, or something. Maybe suicidal. Meh... can't really give a fuck if he's that weak.

But whatever the case, DC is a major shithole now. When I lived in the MD suburbs in the 80's it was... well skanky. Now, I wouldn't go into town if you paid me.

The Yangtze is sort of a southern border of Anhui province.

Anging city is downstream of Wuhan by about 150 miles, right on the Yangtze.

Biden predicts that Trump will try to 'indirectly steal' the election

-
OrangeManBad's method of indirectly stealing the election would be to oppose mail in ballots. Joe has a point. He represents shut ins, ne'er do wells, and basement dwellers.

Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Tyrannosaur Wrangler at July 23, 2020 09:34 PM (+y/Ru)


I fully expect the D/Media Complex to ramp up the "Trump's Gonna Steal The Election" all the way to Eleven and beyond running up to November.

Then, when Trump wins, they're going to scream "He Stole It!" and the shit will really, really, really get real.

It's the headwaters, west of 3G that are the main watersheds for the Yangtze.

Yes additional rainfall in and around 3G es no bueno, but it's the areas upstream that will really screw the folks below the dam.
