Wizard Casts ONT!
Friday night has come 'round at last. This week I have a higher number of videos than normal, lots of the normal crap fished from the bottom of the internet and a response to Muldoon. Hope everybody had a good week, and whatever happened, at least you're not Wichita Falls, Tx.

Plumbing porn
Someone suggested the other day that I watch handyman porn. Apparently it's a genre where a lonely housewife seduces a worker who is working on her house. I checked it out, and honestly, I'm just not that aroused. Do these do anything for you?

The builder won the case against the onvestors because the blueprints, contrary to the cited story here, did, in fact, include the standard abbreviation for "inches" after the number 480, thus:
Height: 480"
So inattention on the part of the investors, not provable* fraud, lost them their money and their case.
*of course, we all know and so did the judge exactly what happened - it was a scam. But a " is a " and that decides the case.

I laughed my ass off at the D&D thing partly because fireball was my first thought as well. The nice thing about D&D fireballs is that their effects end at precisely so many feet (depends on caster level) from the center, so you totally can damage only the door and leave everything else in the shop intact.

Knife guns have been around for many, many years. I have a 1929 Johnson Smith mail order catalog that had knife guns in it, .22 caliber.

Yep, I remember lying on my bed, watching my sister brush her hair back and being awed by her beauty and yet never as she ever given me any hint that she saw of herself that way. In fact, tonight she screamed at me for thinking she was beautiful. Can a beauty really see of herself as not beautiful?

Many years ago, my English class received the assignment to memorize and recite a poem by an American poet. I think I optimized the response with one line, two words, four syllables. The title and poet's name were longer.

To be honest, I am eating the "light" version. It is supposed to be 40 percent less hot. I also threw in some cheese, milk and butter to tame the flame. And of course i dressed it up with some grilled chicken thighs, garlic, and green onions. I am new to ramen or ramyun, but for sure the key is adding ingredients to make it your own and to make it something special.
One weird thing I noticed right off was people talking about putting American cheese in their Ramen. The first few times I though these people were nuts, that did not sound Asian to me at all. Turns out, the Koreans are crazy about melted cheese and many put it in everything. And it is supposed to help with the extreme spices

That probability puzzle at the end with the cat is an example of a self-referential expression. The stuff that gave Kurt Godel a hard-on.
It's of the same character as the following:
A) The following statement is true
B) The previous statement is false
That is a self-negating paradox. It is degenerate. The probability depends on what answer you choose, which then changes the probability.
Self-references can do that. They can be logically consistent, but they can also be completely inconsistent.

There used to be a tiny Korean grocery just off campus here. A co-worker and I used to grab whatever packets or bowls looked interesting for work lunches. Always a gamble. But fun.
They also had a whole lot of different brands of single-serving instant coffees with creamer and sugar in the packet. I think instant coffee is something that some other countries take really seriously; some were surprisingly good.

I hear ya Hogmartin. I have been to that store twice recently and you pretty much stare at all the packs and try to figure them out. i am not sure why I didn't note the little chicken breathing fire logo. Turns out this stuff is net famous. That is probably why I never heard of it.
The instant coffee part rings true to a lot of the research I have been doing in recent days. We have a vibrant Korean American community here and where I grew up. But even some basic research can give you some insights. I would get the instant coffee thing came out of the Korean experience after the war, and also because they have universal service. The American cheese thing came out of the war and Cold War experiences. And I don't doubt instant coffee can be good. It is funny that most Americans think of it as a relic of the 70s.

I was wearing a white halter dress and I swear every single man who came my way gave me - quite a look. But that lasted a couple of days. With other women, that power must linger for a while.

The options in this case are "A", "B", "C", and "D". Any numeric values attached to those numbers are purely misleading entries, meant to deceive the viewer into thinking that they mean something. The question involves a "guess". If the additional text could provide useful information, then we could make an "educated guess", or perhaps an "informed guess". But we are not allowed to do so. Ergo, the numbers are completely useless to our purposes. Doubtless, they were left there by someone attempting to confuse the issue, and cannot be trusted to be related at all to the letters that they have been seemingly randomly assigned to.
The question is, "Which is the right answer?"
As I noted above, the answers are "A", "B", "C", and "D". There are four possible answers. If we are truly "guessing" the answer, then there is a 1 in 4 chance of getting it right.

gun shows in Virginia are historically as common as farmer's markets. I would say Virginia has had a gun show almost every other weekend for the last 50 years. Sure things change, and the present leaders want to shut them all down. But there are some shows in Virginia that are so common, they are almost considered to be a local business. They also have some really big ones.

Shouldn't take 'em but about a day to not only remove enough sand under the hull to effect free movement, but also to carve out about 20 ft. around the bow & stern shapes, to easier effect the "swing" when the tugs start to move the ship. They're trying to brute force it out of there with multiple tugs, which might work, but might not. Removing sand WILL work. Question being though.. how far away are the dredges? (not far, I'd bet. Suez is a never ending dredge project, even if only for maintenance.)

Question: is the Ever Given simply grounded, or have hull plates been damaged, and the vessel taking on water? If the ship is intact, and still operable, simply cutting away enough canal bank to get the bow or stern swung clear might do the trick.

Every tugboat owned by the Foss Tug company is named after a family Foss member, in the old days.
If you are around big ships and salt water anywhere on the left coast, from Alaska to Long Beach, you know the green and white tugboats that work around here.
And the founder is Mrs Thea Foss, who has an entire waterway in Commencement Bay named after her.
The reason why they also have other non-Foss named ships and tugs in their fleet, is because they bought out other companies over the years.
Henry Foss, of Foss High School fame in Tacoma, was her son and a major Tacoma business leader in his day.

Ship drafts about 50', +/-. I don't think they make track mounted excavators that'll dig that deep. Nor excavate any from under the hull, if it's a bit grounded on the sloped canal banks.

The ethics rules for lawyers generally require you to provide "authority" (case law, statute, etc.) for your position as well as authority on the opposite side, and you're supposed to argue why your authority fits the facts of the case better.
Nobody does it, but they're supposed to.

If you wanted a Purdey, and have to ask how much it would cost, you couldn't afford it, as the old saying goes. If you want to buy one -- well, buy isn't really the word. You would make enquiries with James Purdey & Sons, LTD, and if they decided you were Purdey material, then they will fly you out to their range.
They will then take detailed measurements and observations of your shooting style, and custom fit the gun to you. The price of all that is included with the gun.
Now, Prince Hapless had two of those made for him. And he let that bitch make him get rid of them.

Some Internet friends of mine were telling me recently that Polaroids are the new trend with the kiddies because they've never seen real honest to goodness photographs.

Kodak survived, but only as a shell of it's former self. Even though the developed some of the very first digital image sensor breakthroughs, they were then no longer fiscally strong enough to develop those early patents into commercially viable technologies. And hence sold them to others, who did.

Yet more "inflation, too much money chasing too few goods" data points. The used car/truck market is up 24% year over year, and jumped 3% in the last two weeks. New vehicle (especially pickups) inventories are low, and that is sparking demand for late model used vehicles.
Dealers have been bidding up the price at auctions to get their hands on these.
Stimulus money is driving much of the retail level demand.

I kind of learned to be instinctively suspicious of the ones that view themselves as "artists". I haven't really met one that wasn't an asshole of some caliber. Its like dude, you're a musician, you make music, artists paint. I never even technically viewed myself as a musician, because I never gave a shit about anything but metal, so I always said I'm a metal guitarist, not a musician, and definitely not an artist. Eh, maybe I'm wrong, but I sure met enough "artists" over the years and they were usually assholes. lol

I chose it because all of the primary controls are metal, Analog Dials, in pretty much the same arrangement as on the Nikon FE 35mm film camera.

FE was pretty much the same camera (shared shutter, prism, meter & interchangeable focusing screens), but the FE kicked in with Aperture Priority exposure "automation", when you selected "A" on the shutter speed dial. Came in handy when events speeded up a bit.
Advantage, FM. It would run meterless, even without battery. The FE would run in 1/125th and "B" shutter speed only, sans power. But my preference was always the FE, and my bag was never without a half dozen spare batteries.

Same. Close as I have now, is a Ruger Hawkeye "African", M77 in 6.5x55. Unique in this. Ruger has made the "African" 77s in many heavy chamberings. But the "Swede" chambering was a run of only 250, as ordered by the distributer "Lipseys". Mine is one such, with the Lipsey's letter to attest. AND, it also attests that this rifle was the actual 2016/2017 Shot Show Display Rifle for said company. Paid a skosh less than a grand for it, via Gunbroker.
Shotgun wise, I'd be proud to own a basic Beretta Silver Quail in either 12 or 20 ga, and call it a day.

The Nikon Df body is compatible with all Nikon mount lenses, all the way back to the original Nikon F of 1967. Get you a Df and enjoy the best of both, whydotcha? Steep learning curve on the digital, but you'll have NO problem on the exposure side of the equations.

I was just reading some stuff about the Chicoms. They've decided that the US and the West in general are in terminal decline. And they're gonna help it along.
The Chicoms are not dumb, in fact pretty smart. They understand our decrepit elite leaders very well. "Baizuo" is an derisive epithet they use. It literally means "White Left". It's their term for SJWs, the Woke, and libtards.
The undertand the Baizuo very well and know just how to manipulate them, push their buttons. They figure race, sexism, LGBTism and all that shit will be our undoing. And they're gonna help it along, by stoking that shit.

Half of the time the answer will be either A or D is correct.
25% of the time the answer will be B.25% of the time the answer will be C.In other words, half the time the answer will be B or C, in which you have a 25% chance of randomly choosing on any one guess.
Splitting the difference, leaves a 37.5 % chance you will pick the correct answer. depending if the the answer is (A or D), B, or C.

There is no answer. It is self-referential paradox.
Let's go through the infinite contradictory loop generated by that self-reference. We'll start out and say we've concluded the answer is 0. Well, that's one of the choices, so now, the correct answer is a 25% chance. Whoops, 25% occurs twice, so there's now a 50% chance of picking that randomly. So the correct answer is 50%. Which is one of the choices. If that is correct, then that knocks the answer back to 25%.
That process never converges. It's inconsistent.
Thus that question, that problem, *has no solution*. There is no answer. Which is the whole point of the joke.

One can trivially construct a consistent version of that self-reference by changing the choices to, say,
A) 25% B) 0% C) 50% D) 100%
That converges and is consistent. The answer is 25%. A random choice will have a 25% choice of picking the correct answer.
The self-reference here does not change the answer, and there is a solution. No paradox is generated.

Hell, there are infinity random answers, and only one correct answer, so the chance I would randomly pick the right answer is one divided by infinity or zero%.However, since it unclear whether the true correct answer is definitely either A, B, C, or D,or could be an answer like "Vulvatic xertz" then the choice is either 0% for the correct answer being something like that,
or 37.5 % for being the answer being limited to either be A, B ,C, or D (not the value listed by the letter).It is either one or the other, so 50% one, 50% the other, splitting the difference, 18.75%. The real correct answer is you would have an 18.75% chance if being correct if you randomly chose one of the letter answers.

Your analysis is erroneous, and woefully so.
No, the directive pick a choice at random means pick one of the four possible choices at random. One of many possible methods of doing that is generate a random integer from 1 to 4. A = 1, B =2, etc.
There is 1/4 probability each of choosing A, B, C, or D. That is the very definition of pick one of four choices at random. Now, when you pick any one, you change the probabilities because of the self-referencing construction. It is internally inconsistent.
The correct answer to this is "there is no answer". If you doubt me, consult any reference on self-reference. You'll see this is one of many standard expositions of a self-referential paradox. A fellow named Kurt Godel did a lot of work based on this sort of thing.

The rest is history. Best thing that ever happened to me and the wife. She would have been a raving mind virus feminnazi if we didn't get pregnant and married early. Now she wants to see Commies fly.

Some still wear them while driving alone. It is social conditioning. I have a bandana that I pull up the second I go in a store and pull it down the second I leave. There are some situations where I will put it on to make others feel better, but that is less than 2 percent of my day.
Nothing special here, I bet most here do that same thing. When I go to red areas, even the store workers rarely where a mask. To go in with a mask would prove you are a tourist. But in blue areas, no doubt many are being socially conditioned. Even when this threat is over, those in the know will remember they can make the majority of people do anything they want.

But then I look at Asia, and realize they eat lots of carbs such as rice. Then I look at Europe, and recall bread has historically meant life itself in Russia. In ancient Rome the leaders offered bread and circuses to placate the mob.
I am not down on keto or any other super low carb diet. We all go our own way and what works for one man might not work for another. In the end, we all make our own choices. But I do wonder why people today have the most problems with obesity, and also, they seem to have all the answers. I wonder if as a society we are missing what the real issue is.

And sure there are good carbs and bad carbs. If I could choose a diet for life I would go the the Mediterranean diet as exemplified by those that live in Crete. But we don't eat the same amount of greens they do, nor do most have access to them. And even more importantly, we don't have the more laid back lifestyle they do. Some of us do, but many do not.

Since there are only three possible answers: 50% 25%, 0%, there is a 1 out of 3 chance, or 33.3%,of guessing correctly. The correct answer, 33.3%, is not an option. Therefore, you have a 0% chance of being correct.
But wait! 0% is a possible answer, 1 out of 4, 25%. Hold on, 25% is a possible answer, 2 times. So then, guessing 25% would make it 2 out of 4, 50% likely to guess the right answer. Oh my, 50% is also a possibility...
