This Is How The World Ends. Not With A Bang, But With An ONT
Another week has passed us by and now we're even older, and now we're even older, and now we're even older. Another week has passed us by and now we're older still.
Guess that means it's my turn to write an ONT. I have one I wrote a week or so back, I had been out with some friends and had a few drinks. I got home half lit and I wasn't tired so I thought “Gee, maybe I'll get a head start writing some of the ONT”. I wrote a whole page about Little and football and how proud I am of him. I thought it was pretty good. Next day I thought it was pretty good too, but also “That's not really ONT material”. So let me rummage around in my bag of tricks and see if I can find something to make your hearts go pitter-pat.
Mutual Combatants
Prosecutors reject charges against 5 suspects in deadly gang-related gunfight in Austin: ‘It’s just like the Wild West’
After careful investigation, the prosecutor determined that all parties involved were in a designated PvP area with their PvP flags on, so there was “nothing she could do”.* *My commentary is satire. The article, unfortunately, is not.
He's At It Again Dismissing religious objections to taking the Covid vaccine flies in the face of the principles the United States was founded on
“There are not legitimate religious exemptions,” declared Hochul, “because the leaders of all the organized religions have said there's no legitimate reason.” Even a single exception would prove her statement false, and there are many. That said, individual religious exemptions are exactly that: individual. Employers are legally required to accommodate the sincere religious beliefs of their employees, not those of the employee's denominational leaders. On the opposite coast, the editorial board of the Los Angeles Times fervently argues that religious exemptions should be dumped altogether. “Religious exemptions don’t protect the public,” they say, “and when it comes to COVID-19, public health must remain the overriding priority.” The zeal with which the LA Times demands that personal beliefs simply don't count when they conflict with the nebulous idol of ‘public health’ is troubling to anyone who values free exercise of religion. Ironically, mandatory and widespread Covid-19 vaccinations – the editorial board's Holy Grail – don't fully protect the public either. This summer, Los Angeles County noted that more than 10,000 patients, a full quarter of its Covid cases, were fully vaccinated. Around the globe, from Singapore to Israel, breakthrough cases among highly vaccinated populations are rising, and at Harvard University, even with the jab mandated and a 95% vaccination rate, coronavirus infections have spread far enough to force some classes to move online. The truth is that Covid vaccination, while shown to be valuable in decreasing symptoms and hospitalizations (though not necessarily transmission), is in no way a panacea to the pandemic, and for the LA Times to suggest otherwise as a rationale for rejecting religious exemptions is a journalistic sin.I do so love it when those who believe in nothing more than their own power and control deign to tell me what my faith does and does not teach. It's such a joy, like when atheists use verses from Acts chapter 2 to claim that Christianity supports communism. Oh, what a goodly outside falsehood has!
Related, but amusing: Particle physicist Brian Cox says physics ‘ruled out’ the human soul at particle level So we can't measure or quantify a non-corporal thing with physical means. Guy's a genius I tell you.
Halloween Songs Well, we're now into..SHOCK-tober! That means that Halloween is coming up. Tonight's question of the day has to do with Halloween songs. What are your favorite Halloween songs? Do you like silly songs? Spooky songs? Bizarre songs? I'll open the discussion with a song that definitely falls into the later category: Avenged Sevenfold - A Little Piece Of Heaven. I'm linking and not embedding because the subject matter is bizarre and the video is probably NSFW. My wife is convinced that the video is just an un-aired episode of Metalocalypse. At the end, when the zombie priest is giving the finger and it's censored, I told her “Oh good, they censored that, now I can show it to the kids”, she just had to laugh because the finger is probably the least offensive thing in the video. In spite of all this, I find myself really liking the song itself, even though the song itself is not at all what you'd expect from a heavy metal band (or maybe it is from this band, I don't know much of Avenged Sevenfold's work aside from this song). Take a look and let me know what you think, put your own suggestions for Halloween songs in the comments below, and if you're enjoying the ONT, don't forget to like and hit the subscribe button to keep up with all the latest posts.
Musical Interlude: The Internet Is Weird Edition So, the following song has been all the rage on TikTok lately:
It's from 1985, and it sure sounds like it. I don't remember hearing it back then, but if you told me it was by Harold Faltermeyer, I would believe you. But why is this obscure, 35 year old song suddenly popular? I think I've pieced it together, but if any of y'all know for sure, correct me on the details. So it seems that a few years back, some internet artist make an animated short porn film featuring 2 characters from some video game called “Animal Crossing” having sex. (Great, the story starts with furries, always a good sign) He used this song as the soundtrack. The clip languished in obscurity until recently someone else did a (and here I'm not clear) parody? Tribute? video of it, and this one started to go viral. It made it to TikTok, and suddenly Generation Z became obsessed, not with the original obscure animated furry porn video, not with the tribute to the original obscure animated furry porn video, but with the SOUNDTRACK from the original obscure animated furry porn video, and started using it in all their TikTok videos. And that's how Camel By Camel became a hit 35 years after it was released. Like I said, the internet is weird. I hope whoever Sandy Marton is got some unexpected royalty checks in the mail. A Bit Of History The story behind that photo of the Pinto in front of the Mt. St. Helens eruption Here's the picture:
Neat story, much like Seth McFarland, the guy saved his own life by sleeping in. Lazy me wants to think there's a lesson in that, adult me is fighting hard not to let him. Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by warnings:

In 1983 , when I was a teenager, we went to Washington to visit family. We got to see just how devastating that eruption was. And yet, in terms of volcanic eruptions, it was far from the worst. Scary, when you think about it.

I don't know about "something something church and state" other than it came from an old timey letter. I do remember a more official document from about that same time that mentioned Congress and establishing official religions. Maybe they were for it. I don't know anymore.

It became a Hollywood trope because there were actual instances of it happening. A few would-be suicides survived because they landed on car roofs. A metal car roof is an almost-perfect example of a "crush zone" that dissipates the energy of a falling body by deforming.

I got some exercise inside by walking down lots of halls and some nice Physicians Assistant in the trauma unit went out of her way to help me. When I didn't know where I was going a second time, but somehow got off the elevator ended up in the delivery section/back halls of the hospital some nice man helped me He seemed to be listening to a sermon on his i-phone on Jacob and Esau which I thought was neat.

A particle physicist of every possible branch of science should have a whole lot of humility about what is known, what is surmised, and what we just don't know.
Because every time they think they have a model that works it gets broken and this happens routinely.
My clearest take on that is that there is a God who is putting up puzzles for us and laughing at our attempts to solve them.

The family managed to stay ahead of the pyroclastic flow and make it to safety. If you are wondering why people were camping up there, the mountain had been locked down. But people complained, saying it wasn't risky. And the lumber companies wanted their crews back at work. So it was opened back up.

The late Alan King, a hilarious comedian, did a bit in his comedy routine about wives always surviving their husbands. He ended it with a newspaper clipping that he read. A woman tried to commit suicide by jumping out of a window, she landed on her husband, he died and she survived.

When I was at Fort Sam Houston in the 80s, I was at a bar in SA, and Bobby Pickett was there. they coaxed him to sing Monster Mash, but it was clear he was uncomfortable, and did nothing more than hold the mic in front of his face as the song played on the PA. In hindsight I think he may have been suffering from dementia (just a guess). Nevertheless I felt really bad for him. He obviously did not want to be there.
An odd memory.

Elk started wandering through the next year. Fireweed sprung up everywhere.
Downriver is much healed but there are any number of places that retain teh destruction for tourists to view.
The observatory is impressive as hell.
On the northeast side you can see the, "Miner's car".
A family of three were looking for some kind of minerals. They were well into the green zone. Their car, an old GTO IIRC was thrown several hundred feet by the blast.

It became a Hollywood trope because there were actual instances of it happening. A few would-be suicides survived because they landed on car roofs. A metal car roof is an almost-perfect example of a "crush zone" that dissipates the energy of a falling body by deforming.

Well, in his photos he is bald with weird looking ears, bushy black eyebrows, and a very distinct nose. Long wig, trim and change eyebrow color changes two distinctive things and a mask obscures the nose. He can't use a bank for money, so the next best thing is prepaid debit cards. I assume he is in a city where he can avoid going outside and have food delivered without interacting with anyone. I am 99% sure he is not camping somewhere in Florida. I picked New York because I was under the impression they were originally from there, but any larger city would do.

Something that bugged me about that link. They showed the photo with blurred side bands on the image, like it was one of those cellphone videos shot wrong.
It was 1980. There were no cell phones, except maybe a very few, and very expensive bag phones, and certainly none with cameras. And there were no digital cameras, either.

I lived in MN for 20 years. Moving back to CA was a revelation, because of the lack of rust. My truck is a 2009, very low miles, and, if it were in the Midwest, it would have rust on it.

This makes me jealous. Here in Road Salt Country, it's a constant battle. Even if you buy a brand new car, the first thing you do before you even hang the fuzzy dice is to undercoat the piss out of it. My '89 Silverado 3/4 ton finally went to the junkyard in 2019. Still ran like a champ, but there was just no body left and damned little frame. Sold the motor and tranny, and what was left could have been folded up like a newspaper.

I feel ya. Back in WI you had a choice of putting it away from Sept til May, figuring you would get 10 years out of anything, or doing a frameoff. Hated it, especially as I liked my choices in new cars less and less. Down here the sun ruins your paint, and I have been trying to find a reliable reasonable painter for about 10 years on and off with no luck. But still, you saw a lot more collector old cars in Rust World than you do here. I don't know if anyone notices my 20-30 year old cars up there, but here no one who isn't a buff even seems to see my 92 Caprice wagon when I park it.

Heater stayed on all night. Had hot water this morning. I thought it had gone out, and re-lit it, but it was not needed. Water was fully hot, and it was just on pilot. Turned up the 'stat a little, and foomp! the burner lit. Now I have to turn down the 'stat a little. So the thermocouple is evidently OK.

For some years, I've been meaning to pull a gas vale from a discarded heater at the recyclers, and play with it a bit. It's hard to believe that a single 20-30 mV thermocouple can make enough power to hold the valve open. They have stiffish springs. A bazillion windings, one assumes. At any rate, I'm curious about how much current it takes to hold.

I watched a Youtube video describing the thermocouple and gas valve system. The presenter had a cutaway gas valve, and the electromagnet did indeed have a lot of windings. Looked like the guts of an old 2000-ohm headphone. And the electromagnet has only enough force to make the disc stick after it is pushed into contact with the poles. But he demo'ed it using a propane torch on the thermocouple, and it did indeed make the valve hold open.

Replaced the ballast in the florescent lamp over the kitchen sink. PIA, because couldn't obtain identical ballast, but mostly, because I had to take the whole fixture down from behind a decorative wood valence...and single-handedly get the SOB mounted back up. Balancing on step ladder, leaning over the sink, holding the fixture, behind the valence, with one hand, while trying to line up the damned mounting holes, and run screws in.
The air was rather blue.

Modern electronic ballasts are a lot lighter than the old transformer style.
I have a fuckton of odd-size fluorescent tubes, all under 4 feet, and all NOS. Most of these will run just fine, using the ballast found in the base of those "curly" fluorescent bulbs.
Now that LED lamps have become much cheaper, I am phasing out fluorescents. They use even less power, and have more pleasing light.

Go to a salvage yard, and pull the air-filter box, intake snorkel and mass airflow sensor from a P-71 junkpile. Buy the 130 watt alternator to P-71 spec, NEW from your local parts house. And the three-row radiator and transmission oil cooler, too. If you can get a low(ish) mileage P-71 rear axle and differential, do it.
The intake stuff will give you both HP and mileage boosts. The alternator will let you run in stop & go traffic and not run down the battery. The differential has a far higher speed rating, (which you might not use), but it's also a posi-track type drive, much advantage in mud n' muck. Radiator & tranny cooler? Should've been standard equipment across the brand, like from forever.

Put a motor in it, son borrowed it. When I got it back the transmission is whining. I haven't even gotten my money's worth out of the motor yet...but I guess my son has. It's a damn fine vehicle when it runs right, a lot quieter than the Jeep, so I'd like to have it back in shape to drive to work.

Apropos of nothing, I was 10 in 1978. Catholic school kid in a very Catholic city of Philadelphia. Pope JPII was doing his North American tour. He was due to visit our fair city, and my family went to Broad Street to find a viewing spot for the motorcade. Got there 4 hours early, the Pope arrived 3 hours late. The motorcade zipped by, as he was late to perform Mass, so we waited over 7 hours to get a quick glimpse of his white robes as he flew by. At least I got the day off from school. :shrugs:

Somewhere between 30 yo me and *mumble mumble* year old me I lost that. It became easier to just pay someone to do stuff that I COULD do but just didn't WANT to do.
No longer. Lately I've been doing more of that stuff myself. The reason is twofold; #1, I have a 16 YO son and I'm teaching him how to do this stuff, he needs to know and #2, I find that DOING stuff, even simple stuff, is very gratifying. Hey, *I* did that!
When I managed to drive my zero turn mower into the lake last month, *I* pulled it out (with help from Little and my long-suffering wife) and *I* got it running again (with invaluable help from AOP on the phone).
There's a certain satisfaction from that that's been missing in my life for far too long.
