Hodgepodge ONT

Weird week. I'm used to writing these in the evening, but I have appointments all evening so I'm writing this in the middle of the afternoon. Also, I don't have as much material as usual. I have been staying far away from social media lately. It's just toxic, toxic to mind, body and spirit, and frankly I don't need that right now.

One thing I will comment on is the camera on my new iPhone 12. I'm not one who rushes out to buy the latest technology, but my old iPhone 8 was giving up the ghost recently so I got a new phone. The camera on this thing is amazing.

This was taken from the dock, at 11 PM, in a snowstorm. The only light is from the propane lantern in the sun room (power is out). Still snowing, no moon or stars out.

Stolen From The Food Thread

I know CBD is going to want to be all over this gastronomical delight in the food thread, but I'm getting the jump on him and posting it now. Nyah-nyah.

Insect Market To Explode: EU Gives Green Light To Eating Mealworm

Now let us take a moment to drop to our knees and thank our superiors for this gift of insect protein. We truly are blessed to have such kind and benevolent overlords so concerned for our well being. I'm sure that cricket tartare will soon be on the menu at Versailles and Buckingham Palace, aren't you?

Unrelated: Pizza is the world’s most popular takeaway dish: Report Mmmmm. Give me an anthropod pizza with extra antennae and vegan cheese. Six slices, not eight, I don't think I can eat eight.


Not The Craw. The Craw!

Bonus points and Geritol for recognizing the title to this section.

Chernobyl digger claw ‘so radioactive one touch would kill you’ still lies in forest 33 years after disaster

Somehow, I doubt the veracity of this story. Not that the thing is sitting in the woods outside Pripyat, I'm sure that it's there, but exactly how deadly it is. The fact that the “radiation expert” quoted looks like he's just spent the night unsuccessfully trying to blow a security guard to get backstage at a Phish concert has nothing to do with it, really. Well, OK, it has a little to do with it, along with the fact that I've seen pictures of people just standing around the claw without radiation suits, including in the article itself. But maybe I'm wrong, any 'rons or 'ettes with a background in nukes care to opine?


For The Birds

Pro sports teams named for birds

There are 12 teams in the 4 major sports leagues in North America named for birds. Here is the story behind each of them, including the surprising fact that a couple of teams named after birds weren't named after birds at all.

Personally, I think this ought to be called a Trumpollo

Parler CEO Says Conservative Twitter Competitor May "Never" Return


Warning: This is a Zero Hedge link, as always the rule over there is don't read the comments. Really nothing more to say that Ace hasn't been pounding on for the past week. People saw a need, created a company to meet that need, built it up to 12 million users and now, poof! It's gone because the tech overlords can't stand wrongthink. I hope it makes it back. Gab is still around, they own their own servers, but their traffic is up over 800% and the service is wonky right now.

Of course, none of this would be necessary if people would just passively sit back and do as they're told, think as they're told to think. Big Education is working hard to make that happen. When Schoolbooks Go Full Woke. I'm sure you've noticed, whenever the left says they are “anti-something”, it's a sure sign that that thing is exactly what they are. One of the things that completely baffles me is that more people don't see it, it's so bloody obvious. “Anti-Fascist” Antifa is following the fascist playbook to the letter, down to having their own brownshirts and now they have their Reichstag fire moment. I guarantee that if you took the book in the above link titled “Antiracist Baby” and did nothing more than flip the races that it would be widely and rightly decried as a racist screed. (Full disclosure: I have not read the text, nor do I intend to, but I am willing to bet a considerable sum, sight unseen, that I'm right).


Cancel Culture, Part II

Jon Favreau Rumored To Be Protecting The Mandalorian Actor Gina Carano From Being Fired

I don't know Carano's politics, but I've seen the Tweets in question. What she's doing is nothing more than refusing to bow to the mob. I suspect that they are right of center, but I don't know (nor should I, she's an actress and MMA fighter, not a political figure). Before you go thinking that this means The Mandalorian is a media property you should support (Full Disclosure: I've watched and enjoyed the first two seasons), rest assured that Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal thinks you're a Nazi. Nice to know that Hollywood is still Hollywood.

This is marvelous.

1 Fret not and wait patiently

Ps37

Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass....

When our group was doing testing for a Cosmic Ray detector at the Bevalac at Berkeley, one of the other groups there egged on the operators to blast the instruments with high intensity stuff. I was off shift at the time in a 18 on 6 off kind of operation.

Anyhow, the idjits blasted the area so hard that all the hardware in the cave was somewhat radioactive, and they took off the dosimeters of everyone there to see if they had some issues coming. I don't think the people were too badly exposed, but all the hardware was now mildly radioactive permanently after just a few hours.

84 Aside from laying on top of the elephants foot in Chernobyl, nothing there is dangerous enough to kill you with a touch.

At worst, you'll get a few years worth of xrays being around it but it won't just make you drop dead. Even the graphite rod containers would only burn you and then kill you within a week or two. And that was immediately after the reactor exploded.

Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass....

101 I'd still rather use a real camera but everyone makes fun of me. Not that I care.

I still use a stand-alone camera (Olympus Pen mini DSLR), and had been planning to upgrade it last year before going to Europe in the fall. But Olympus's exit from the camera business combined with cancellation of my trip meant I didn't. And when I saw the quality of photos taken with the iPhone 12, I decided I don't need a stand-alone any more.

It's only better than the camera I have now (iPhone when I use it with a zoom lens, and not much at that. I carried it with me (with the zoom lens) on January 6 and took photos with both phone and camera, and the phone pictures were better more often than not.

General purpose computers always beat dedicated devices over time.

Well in the case of the cave, the experiment was to detect cosmic rays - nuclei that come from the galaxy and hit the upper atmosphere and break themselves up and/or chip off parts of the air's nuclei when they collide. If you do that, you get unstable isotopes that decay, some not for some time. Carbon-14 is used for dating wood/bodies because it has a half life of 5000 odd years so the intensity of the radiation from this source drops off the older it is.

108 Nuclear power is incredibly efficient. Simply using the natural entropy of a substance to generate heat and steam creates very cheap power.

The two biggest drawbacks are dealing with spent fuel and accidents.

My take is it's a perfect fuel source when everything works perfectly. When there is a mistake or an accident, it's the biggest mess imaginable.

You manage DDOS attacks with having enough load balancers and replicated web servers.

Small websites can fall prey to that because they probably don't have that level of infrastructure that have bigger sites with alot of stout hardware cannot.

Which is why you go with a hosting company like Amazon and AWS, but whoopsie they don't serve right leaning companies.

Yeah, that big concrete sarcophagus was made out of Soviet era concrete. Today it is just falling apart.
Really intense radiated materials usually decay pretty fast. Fast Thermal Neutrons that you get from a nuclear reactor core can modify elements and are deadly radiation.
Most other radiation types are mildly radioactive, long-term, slow decay isotopes.

No. They finished the new outer shell which is now over the older concrete sarcophagus. But that is being dismantled under neath the shell so they can then start to clean up the two reactor buildings. It will take decades to complete that. But the new containment was slid into place a few years ago. Amazing engineering if you watch a YouTube vid on it.

Looks like it was a movie, not SF

I remember the title of a story from the 1970s (?), that I believe was for kids:

From the Pullizer Prize winning play by Paul Zindel, this is the story of Beatrice Hunsdorfer and her daughters, Ruth and Matilda. A middle-aged widowed eccentric, Beatrice is looking for her life in the classified ads while all about her is the rubble of an unkempt house. All she needs is the right opportunity, she says puffing on a cigarette. Poorly equipped to survive the vagaries of modern life, she has nonetheless always managed to muddle through. Ruth, epileptic and making her way through the rebellious phase of adolescence, seems doomed to make the same mistakes as her mother. Quiet Matilda, on the other hand, seeks refuge in her animals and her schoolwork. "Jesus, don't you hate the world, Matilda?" Beatrice asks her youngest daughter.

Cousin brandishes her "We The People" mask and says Okay.

medi-Karen says No. It has to be OUR mask.

Cousin doesn't even wait for things to build up. She explodes in profanity, gets the Elderly into the building, and of course sees that all the chairs are 6 feet apart. She pulls a chair next to the elderly and dangles her mask off one ear...

184 Compare the "horrible" Jan 6 "invasion", with the blocks and blocks of rioters in January 2017, breaking windows, burning cars, and tossing rocks at hundreds of police.

Nobody is protecting the antifa in Trump hats on Jan 6, but there were hundreds of pink hats and antifa 4 years before.

Not even close. One would never know if you were watching Lynn Cheney and the other REAL terrorists in DC.

When the cops arrive, medi-Karen and security go away. Cousin is convo-ing with the cops and at one point takes a step forward.

ONE OF THE COPS FALLS BACK IN FEAR.

These are the people who are supposed to tackle rapists and rescue people from under piles of rubble? My cousin is a petite, 40+ female and this cop RETREATED from her. She could have maneuvered him back to his car by simply walking towards him.

I mean that almost never happens outside of people that live with each other or in hospitals where they are stuck in rooms together.

Yeah, that big concrete sarcophagus was made out of Soviet era concrete. Today it is just falling apart.
Really intense radiated materials usually decay pretty fast. Fast Thermal Neutrons that you get from a nuclear reactor core can modify elements and are deadly radiation.
Most other radiation types are mildly radioactive, long-term, slow decay isotopes.

288 The residual ash from coal-burning power plants is slightly radioactive (all those megatons of coal concentrated in ash). And concrete is frequently made from coal ash.
There are actually regulations about how much coal ash you can use in concrete, because it can become radioactive with enough ash included.

During the early 1950's they stripmined a fuckton of brown coal in North Dakota, and just open burned it on the ground, in order to capture the small amount of uranium in the ash.

I was going to say, expert my everloving ass.

39 uSv/hr = 3.9 mR/hr

I've worked with transuranic salts that were up to 300 mR/hr on contact and I feel fine. We did wear ring dosimeters for those kind of operations, however, and took a little deep dose.

The take home at the end of the day, though, is that the article was full-on drama queen city.

360 I've heard you can even get more usable energy just from the nuclear waste, if you re-use it.

Yeah. If it is too radioactive to store safely, it is radioactive enough to get energy from. We've known how to do that since the seventies at least.

Her first thought was a velvet smoking jacket.
She even had ideas about who may have one.
So, I can do the carpet, put the wallboard up. Hang the chandelier, leather armchairs are available. The bar is an absolute requirement.

Lots of hysteria and fake news about all things nuclear, including waste. I work in the nuclear waste arena but do not hold myself out as an expert on it since my skill set goes in another direction. Glassification (or vitrification) is one way to encase the waste so that the radioactivity does not leech out into the environment over time. They have been doing this at Savannah River in SC. DOE is building a huge vit plant at Hanford, WA, and decided to "fast track" the project by executing the planning and building stages on parallel tracks. Problem is, they got halfway through a billion dollars before discovering that the plant they were still planning (and which was also under construction) was not going to be large enough to hold all the necessary equipment. Now they are trying to figure out what to do...

Not all coal is radioactive. Depends if it has had uranium-bearing ground water circulating through it. Elemental carbon is a reducing agent, and can precipitate uranium out of solution. Other metals, too. But most deeply-buried coal is actually depleted in radioactive elements. Carbon 14 is gone, because the coal is too ancient, and there was no groundwater activity.

I have viewed many gamma-ray logs of oil and gas wells, and coal seams (and oil or gas sands) are characterized by exceedingly low gamma count.

Trump said in his video speech the other night that he ordered the NG into DC for the "transition" ( he will not call it an inauguration or acknowledge a transfer of power. Good on him). So my guess is he decided to order as many NG as he could. because the reason they didn't have enough police or uniformed LEO's at the Capitol on January 6th, despite the chief of Capitol police begging the Democrats in the House to allow him to do so, and against the advice of the DOJ and DHS, Nancy and the Dems thought the "optics" would be bad.

So Trump is giving Nancy optic overload.

Quite right on the geology and transport issues. The big political problem is that Yucca Mountain is the law of the land. Unless and until Congress changes that law (which Reid should have done when he had a majority of 60 seats) Yucca remains the only legal choice for a geologic repository.

Nanzi and Duh Mayorette could quite easily say "thanks, no" as they have shown the desire.

There are more troops in national and state capitals than we have had deployed in the GWoT at one time in years.

That is a fact, and it is a loathsome one.

The posit offered by the civil service and donkey is "we were powerless to stop those poor arsonists because they are an idea but we can move and heaven and Earth to stop YOU."

A lot like the FBI suddenly finding their drive to prosecute or er persecute "rioters" and doxx people within 96 hours after pretending they cannot deduce motive for the Vegas, Congresisonal, and Seattle shooters.

431 When I lived in NV I worked for the physicists at unlv. Yucca Mountain was just a make work pork belly project by Harry Reid. It was never going to be used for nuclear waste. The geology was questionable and no way were the residents (me included) at the time allow that shit to be transported from across the country to our little piece of America. What a waste of time and money.
Posted by: Mpfs at January 14, 2021 11:01 PM (79p/O)

Quite right on the geology and transport issues. The big political problem is that Yucca Mountain is the law of the land. Unless and until Congress changes that law (which Reid should have done when he had a majority of 60 seats) Yucca remains the only legal choice for a geologic repository.

435 Trump said in his video speech the other night that he ordered the NG into DC for the "transition" ( he will not call it an inauguration or acknowledge a transfer of power. Good on him). So my guess is he decided to order as many NG as he could. because the reason they didn't have enough police or uniformed LEO's at the Capitol on January 6th, despite the chief of Capitol police begging the Democrats in the House to allow him to do so, and against the advice of the DOJ and DHS, Nancy and the Dems thought the "optics" would be bad.

So Trump is giving Nancy optic overload.

If you think our "intellectual and moral betters" do not have plans for us you are a fool, and those plans are not gentle.

The one thing this winter proved is there is no GOP "resistance" which means horrifyingly that in a Chinese martial theory sense the enemy has superior moral fiber to us. Perverted though your neighbors be and the abomination that they are ethically and intellectually they have already won.

Democrats and academia have been bullshitting mankind on radiation since the 60s.

You can carry a fairly heavy load and biologically come out ahead healthwise to people who never suffer anything above background exposure.

The key is not getting loaded past the recovery point where your cells reassert stability, once the DNA is irretrievably disrupted you get cancer as an inevitable outcome unless there is an anomaly in the subject's genomes.

Dyatlov for example did die of complications from exposure, BUT in defense of sanity he had suffered two massive exposure events in his life.

498 I have heard that the US disposed of medical equipment with cobalt in it, and that garbage pickers in whatever unfortunate third world place we dumped them in would pocket the pretty blue glowing stuff and end up dead.

But again that's a close proximity and duration problem, in terms of dose, not something magical about touching your finger to it.

Amen Lou. I am on my 4th doctor since Civid hit because the military doctors are rotating at a pretty good clip it seems. Hispanic fella who noticed that on my annual checkups since I started my contract work I had put on my mental health evals "pure happiness" inputs and had a few "anxieties" on the latest one.

We talked for maybe ten minutes about the insane asylum of the political class and the evil of the media.

He said he thinks this stupidity is transitory, but the key to mental endurance is remembering that good people of all hues love each other and want success for all and encouraged that I remain a light in the darkness.

I feel better at 48 than I did at 38, love as hard as you are willing to be hard to fight.

Yeah, it's a chunk to carry around, but when you want to really give the optics a workout, it's what'cha gotta do. Not a cel camera out there with an optical equivalent of 14mm through 600mm focal lengths.

first question, before nausea fever etc is "are you here for Kaiser"? Saw a woman advance to front spot, and answer the first question "no". The nurse stood aside and said "go ahead". I laughed and laughed. and my rage grew, and grew

As for the other comment that was way up on the thread about the blocks in Los Alamos that touching these blocks means death. That is laughable. That's not how Radiation Exposure works, Nor how irradiated materials behave. If for some fucked reason, and this was shown in HBO's Chernobyl Dramentary, You found yourself close enough to actually touch something that was so radioactive that you'd die, you'd have already been exposed to enough radiation that your fate was sealed. It's a long and very painful death, and like is alluded to in that series, you'd beg for the bullet.

This stuff is classic Dunning-Kruger Amnesia. These people are know nothings.

I have never understood why people have so feared Radiation. It's so Irrational. Granted this is coming from someone that had the opportunity to literally Teabag a Reactor Vessel. I would have taken a Selfie, but those weren't a thing then lol

The design of these boats is nearly unrecognizable. They ride on a 75ft foiling monohull that will race mostly in flight at four times true wind speed, up to 50 knots. It's more an airplane than a boat; more a story of aerodynamics than hydrodynamics.
The foils can raise in and out of the water anytime. They are huge. Two side foils about 3/4 toward the stern, and a tiny rudder. The hull is usually out of the water and dry. One of the foils is cranked out of the water, so the boat is on two points, the downside foil and the rudder. These boats turn on a dime.
And with the great camera angles, on the boat and helicopters around the bay, the visuals are fantastic. It's almost like being there.
I can stare at this for hours.

670 Do like me some Hungarian paprika. And good fresh chili powder. The latter does not store well or "keep". Some spices are terrible. Chili powder is one. I tried to buy a Carrol Shelby chili "kit", the cute little guy in a sack. I remember that being OK. That was out of stock. The grocery subbed some off name chili "kit". The chili made therein was wretched. I'm not really a foodie, I'm a simple guy. But I like a decent bowl of red, it's gotta taste good, not like stale sawdust.

it is classic for sure and many Texas chili competitors use it if for nothing else, tradition. As others have said, the real key is freshness. There is a reason really good Indian recipes call for whole spices, toasted on the stove, and then ground. Any ground spice powder will lose flavor from the day it is made. At least Gebhardt is likely fresher than most because people use it so often.

Posted by: Quint at January 15, 2021 05:09 AM (Rt/LJ)

737 salt and pepper are seasoning, not spices. It has been my view for decades that one of the few keys to good cooking is proper seasoning. Fresh ground pepper and a good distribution of Kosher salt in the right way will at least give the food its best chance to come off well.

many in this country historically seasoned poorly while cooking and then dump table salt on the food to try to make it palatable.

i hear ya. No doubt some towns in CA are garlic capitals. But many can get local stuff at farmer's markets. There is no comparison between smashing some fresh garlic and using garlic powder. But there are a few instances where I prefer the powder or at least use both. Some thick sauces like chili just do well with powder imo. And there are some really good garlic powders. Sure it is not the same thing, it is like comparing fresh ginger and ginger powder. They are almost two different ingredients altogether.

755 I pretty much can't stand apple. I switched to an apple phone not long ago and as far as I can tell, they are way more left that Google. That surprised me to be honest. I don't like the Apple scene at all. My plan is to cancel the service and sell the phone for whatever I can get.

But I would not sell a stock based on political views. This is not a criticism of others here or anywhere else. It is a view I came up with over a very long haul. one thing I know about stocks is they go up and down and could not give a damn about who owns them or why. The left virtue signals buy only investing in lefty companies, which is easy to do these days. But historically, they would get fleeced by devious mutual fund managers who create "socially responsible" funds and then charge super high fees.

758 in the end the issue is which stock will go up. in the end that is all that matters in the investing game. I might hate it that Millennials buy up Apple, Peleton, Beyond Meat or whatever. I might think those companies are stupid and pointless. But if a lot of people are stupid and buy their products, I can't change that.

i can't think of a stock I would not buy if i knew it would rise in value. Again, if you lose with the most righteous investment ever, no one on Wall Street will mourn you.

again, and to be clear. I understand giving up on lefty companies. I have done so much of that i need a playbook to go shopping lol. Just giving my experience re investing. Yeah, Apple sucks, but the stock has been good for a long time because so many think it is the best.

I quite Amazon Prime the other day and it felt good. Apple will be a bit more difficult because I really don't want to go back to Android. If it takes a flip phone, so be it. I will seem weird to many but that is the price to pay. I wish there was another alternative. Again, huge opportunity here if people had the will and means to take it.

Never used Twitter, Facebook or those Dicks. I did give up on rental car companies as they went uber left early on in their anti 2a stances. Wall Mart deserves to lose most of their clientele but for some reason they will not.

I used to work or consult for lefty companies. If Leftism screws up cities, states and countries, it surely screws up companies too.

One thing I have noticed at lefty companies is that they are absolutely ruthless in cutting staff the moment it suits management. That ability to quickly cut losses counteracts their normal waste and foolishness in bad decisions.

Also consider that there a plenty of institutional investors and ETFs with charters that require investing only in PC companies. I wonder how often a company does crazy ass public things mainly to signal that they are portfolio safe investments.

It is so one-stop, especially with having groceries, that most won't give up the inconvenience. We have decided to stop patronizing these companies full stop. If they are the only option, we will do without.

Also, no major purchases that aren't 100% necessary. Her suv will be paid off soon, mine already is, and both are low mileage enough that we will not need to replace them anytime soon.

Wal Mart gutted main streets in small town America. They had 24 hour Wal Mart super stores in the deep South long before they had them in cities. Chinese products from a mega corporation that killed local business. And people support them for some reason. At least they pretended to be non political for a while, but those days are gone. I can't think of a reason to support that store at all. I get many need to go there, but damn, what a cost they have charged when you think about it.

Brilliant idea!

Xiden was installed by Xi, Perkins Coie, and Democrat vote counters, not elected.
Irish Democracy, here it comes.
Xiden is afraid to even discuss the fraudulent illegal election that allowed him to be installed by his masters.

852 I don't recall the facts nor the outcome. But I recall Johnny Depp's dogs were almost killed in Australia and the actor had to apologize slavishly on tv for bringing in a dog improperly.

I am not sure what to think about Australia these days but for sure they don't like foreign animals coming in. They also gave up all gun rights so really I do know what to think about them.

854 So is Uncle Joe and Auntie Kamala being sworn in outdoors on the capitol steps? I'm still confused by the details of this historic event. Is their going to be a inaugural ball? I know no parade with the parade of brown shirts and their banners and flags will be missed. I kind of like torch light parades which is a German thing.

Had to get blood drawn for insurance at work late November. The tech couldn't have drawn blood if you gave her a red pen.

After the third time I asked politely if she would stop stabbing me and get some help.

866 not everyone is a great phlebotomist. I have had my issues as well over the years. I once was getting my wisdom teeth out and the nurse could not find a vein to give me the sedative. In the end they said screw i and i went without. She was also a bitch to the point the dentist/doctor had to tell her to simmer down. Good times.

'tis not, and I happen to work in one of those industries (tech software). I'm fortunate to have a set of skills and experiences that 1) my company desperately needs, and 2) would have to pay through the nose to replace, if they could even find someone willing to take the job.

I'm absolutely grateful for this perma-remote-working situation, because I can now safely, from a distance, ignore all the H1B's and limo-lib virtue signaling self-hating whites crowing about being finally rid of the troublesome orangeman.

There are advantages to being able to rig one's ship for silent running.
