Quote I “I am a proponent of the traditional approach that a woman is a woman and a man is a man. A mother is a mother, a father is a father,” Vladimir Putin
Quote II “What I don’t understand is vaccinated people blaming non-vaccinated people because the vaccine that they took to avoid getting the virus didn’t stop them from getting the virus.” Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers QB
Quote III "Customer trust is at the center of everything we do and Alexa is designed to provide accurate, relevant, and helpful information to customers. As soon as we became aware of this error, we took swift action to fix it." an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement.
Quote IV “You’re boosting people with [antibodies to fight] the original Wuhan strain vaccine, and the circulating variants are delta and omicron. Your body is kind of primed towards the original strain.” Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Center for Health Security at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Quote V “There’s just such a love among this congregation. We’ve all known each other so long and we know each other’s foibles,” . “I’ll miss our personality, our laughter and our joy in just being together. And, of course, the faith aspect of sharing that with other like-minded people." Church elder Candace Dannaker
NFL legend John Madden died Tuesday at the age of 85, the league announced in a statement. "On behalf of the entire NFL family, we extend our condolences to Virginia, Mike, Joe and their families," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement.

SD Governor Calls On Biden To Rescind All Mandates After He Claims ‘There Is No Federal Solution’ To Pandemic
I'll waste my vote on a 3rd party candidate before I vote for you Sugar Tits.
If Dan Bongino or Sean Hannity ever peruse The ONT I hope they answer the following question. What the hell good is the FBI?
Is the Whitmer ‘Kidnapping’ Case About to be Tossed?Don't talk to me about the rank and file. They don't want to rock the boat. And the former rank and file? They don't look much better than the employed crop of FBI agents.
At this point, perhaps the Justice Department should pray that the judge rules in favor of the defense and dismisses the case before the FBI is further embarrassed—and exposed.
Feds Claim Former FBI Agent, Accomplice Defrauded Woman Out of More Than $700,000 The former FBI agent and his co-conspirator allegedly made fake phone calls to a fake judge to further convince the defrauded woman was on "secret probation."
The former FBI agent and his co-conspirator allegedly made fake phone calls to a fake judge to further convince the defrauded woman was on "secret probation." For several years, a woman in Granbury was convinced she was on secret probation, and that she had to cover the expenses of a federal law enforcement officer and his partner while they supervised her. There was no “secret probation," but the Granbury woman, identified only as C.T. in court documents, ended up paying the supposed officer and his partner more than $700,000.
Well that didn't pan out to well. Never let crazy stick you.
Pensioner 'killed wife when she changed mind about Christmas sex after he took Viagra'
Vito Cangini, 80, reportedly killed his wife Natalia Kyrychok, 61, following a row over her not wanting to have sex after he was ready to go from taking Viagra at their home in Italy
A trio of human traffickers were caught after videos of dangerous Channel crossings were found on one of their TikTok accounts, it has been reported. Mohammed Fiate, 22, from Syria, and two 25-year-old Iraqi Kurds, Sharam Shorsh and Ali Hardin, were jailed in France on Monday for their roles in a £1.1 million smuggling plot. They helped 545 people enter England illegally via the Channel in a five-week period this summer, according to court evidence reported by local media. Up to 83 passengers at a time were squeezed onto tiny dinghies, with prosecutors accusing the traffickers of ‘total disregard’ for human life.

Elizabeth Warren Claims Finance Is An Enormous Greenhouse Gas Emitter
Wall Street Is Close to Triggering a Climate Financial Crisis
Warren's nonsensical Tweet parrots the nonsensical Bloomberg article Wall Street Is Close to Triggering a Climate Financial Crisis A study authored by the Sierra Club and the Center for American Progress shows that eight of the biggest U.S. banks and 10 of its largest asset managers combined to finance an estimated 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions, based on year-end disclosures from 2020, or about 1% less than what Russia produced. If the financial-services industry was a country, it would rank as the world’s fifth-largest emitter of greenhouse gases. The report’s authors are urging the Biden administration to take immediate steps to slash the financial sector’s role in global warming, lest it trigger a financial crisis that dwarfs that of 2008.
Colin Kaepernick’s Acquisition Company Loses Lucrative Deal, Raises Doubts Of Ex-Athlete’s ‘Halo Effect’ Former NFL quarterback turned activist Colin Kaepernick lost out on a lucrative business deal with a social justice-driven lender after he refused to promote the business on national television. The failure of Kaepernick’s special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Mission Advancement Corp. to finalize a deal with The Change Company, a lender that prioritizes serving minority borrowers, has sparked questions over how much businesses stand to benefit from partnering with the washed-up athlete, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Maybe he can reach out to Capt. Bill or Charlie '3 Wives' Sykes.
Our office could charge him. But we won't.
Westchester County, New York District Attorney said Tuesday that sexual harassment allegations against former Governor Andrew Cuomo are ‘credible’ and ‘did occur’ but won’t file charges. “Although the allegations and witnesses were credible, and the conduct concerning, we cannot pursue criminal charges due to the statutory requirements of the criminal laws of New York,” said District Attorney Mimi Rocah. “This conclusion is unrelated to any possible civil liability which is beyond the scope of a District Attorney’s jurisdiction, which focuses solely on criminal laws.”
I bet if I grabbed old Mimi by the arm, forced her to me and planted a big wet one on her lips I would find myself charged. But then again, I'm just a lowly Cob and not a Scuzzy Career politician.
Servotronics CEO resigns after investigation into claims he made employees visit strip clubs
The top executive at Elma manufacturer Servotronics Inc. has resigned following a nearly six-month internal investigation into his conduct. Kenneth D. Trbovich resigned as president and CEO and was removed as board chairman, the company announced Monday. While Servotronics' board conducts a search for a permanent replacement, the company's president and CEO roles will continue to be carried out by other personnel, led by Chief Operating Officer James C. Takacs. The company's board authorized the internal investigation June 8, when Trbovich was put on administrative leave. That disclosure came one day after a then-employee filed a lawsuit in State Supreme Court in Buffalo, alleging that Trbovich forced male employees to visit brothels and strip clubs and "engage" with prostitutes while on business trips paid for by Servotronics and its subsidiaries.

It seems like people either really love Yellowstone or really hate it. I suspect if I were to watch it, I would hate it, so I haven't.
And since I really like Tim and Faith as country singers, I probably won't watch 1883 either.

I knew one of the CarDiv 1 carriers had it on the port side, but I thought it was Kaga. I stand corrected.
In any event, as I noted in the follow-up post, the fact that those two carriers are the only carriers to ever have port-side islands is a neat little bit of trivia just on the odd chance you find a way to impress someone with that knowledge.

I once saw the aftermath of that when an adult elk was involved. Fortunately for the two women involved, the car that hit it was a great big luxury sedan, and not some little compact. Even so, the front of the car was a wreck, and there was no way it was driving away from the accident.
The elk broke its legs, and possibly more. Despite that, it managed to get off the road (fortunately) before it collapsed to the ground. The state trooper put it down when he arrived.

I was driving through the Cascades at about 50 MPH, when I got to an area where I had the feeling that it felt a little too elky. I covered the brake as I came over the rise and into a left bend, and there was a small herd of about 10. If I had not covered, I would have creamed them.

Elk are pretty calm along side a highway compared to the whitetail deer we have here. I've driven in areas with elk right by the highway. For the most part they stand and graze.
I once almost hit a black bear that probably went 400# doing 60+ coming down a winding hill that was heavily forested. I still think about that now and again.

I saw a deer jump out in front of the 18-wheeler, then I saw it on the other side, safely across. Couldn't have been much more than a car length between the semi and the deer.

Japanese carrier doctrine was that carriers were operated in two-carrier divisions. Carrier Division 1 was Akagi and Kaga. Carrier Division 2 was Soryu and Hiryu. I can't remember the details, but the Japanese came up with an idea that would allow a carrier division two work at a higher operational tempo launching and landing planes. But the theory required having the islands on opposite sides.

Unfortunately for the IJN, physics intervened. It turns out that aircraft on a carrier had a tendency to veer to the port side if the pilot lost control. If you have the island tower in the way, then the plane hits the tower and makes a big mess. If you don't have a tower in the way, then the plane goes over the edge and keeps the flight deck clear. You still have to try and recover the pilot. But he hasn't smashed into anything at high speed, and you don't have debris littering your flight deck and blocking flight operations until it gets cleaned up. This little bit of physics wasn't noted until *after* the Japanese had built the islands on Akagi and Hiryu.
And that's why every single other carrier island since then has been on the starboard side.
Posted by: junior at December 28, 2021 11:03 PM (PTw5h)
BUSTED
The Build Team ran identical cars into a fake rubber moose at two different speeds. The damage from the high speed impact was located higher up on the vehicle and was more severe. It was speculated that hitting a moose at a high speed would only work with a very low car such as an F1 race car. Such a car would be able to take out the legs and clear the area before the moose fell on top of it.

That kind of thing happened a lot - my father was a big US Civil War fan, collected a lot of letters of various figures, and one thing that stood out was how, on both the Federal and Confederate commands, there were Generals who hated their fellow commanders far more than they hated anyone on the other side. It's one of the reasons that many Federal and Confederate Generals became good friends after the war, like Sherman and Joe Johnston. Their real enemies were always on their own side.

It's effective because they know 50%+ of the population is too stupid to actually do the reasoning you have, which shows the booster won't do shit. They also know no one will question them.
I guess they might not by lying though, as a slight improvement over 0% is 1%, which they also call the margin of error. So basically the booster will do nothing, but just the fact that most of those who were in serious risk of covid already died from the first wave, which means even by doing nothing we'll statistically be better off this time.

One of the Stig guys from Top Gear wrote a book about driving and said that although American driving technique was superior the one bad thing was diving on the right because our dominant eye needed to be closest to the approaching traffic. The superior part to American driving technique was that we're taught to keep at least one hand clocked to the wheel such that when we return the hand back the wheel is straight. British drivers are taught to always keep both hands mostly gripping but because of this they kind of walk the hands through steering. The British way was based on high stress emergency vehicle driving studies and apparently was completely irrelevant to daily driving needs. Oops.

UK has an ad up the says that "'COVID vaccines' lose power like a battery". And the boosters are the recharge of the battery.
Well, if the original clot shot is ineffective (a dead battery), then recharging it wouldn't make a difference, right? Dead or fully "charged", it doesn't work.

Not quite.
One fleet carrier - Katsuragi - survived. She was a late war build, and never took on any aircraft. She spent her time in the war huddling under a camo net in the harbor, and hoping she wouldn't be spotted and sunk by American aviators like her sister, Amagi. The battleship Nagato (flagship of the Combined Fleet before Yamato was built) survived the entire war, and spent most of the end of it lurking in port, hoping to not get bombed. She was one of the ships that "participated" in Operation Crossroads.
There were also two or three cruisers at the end of the war. Myoko, for instance, was badly damaged during the Leyte Gulf operation. She returned to Singapore afterwards. But the port couldn't handle the repairs that she needed, so she spent the remainder of the war as a floating anti-aircraft battery. She wasn't the only cruiser like that.

Some of the Japanese battleships, cruisers, and destroyers were sunk in-port very late in the war by aircraft or submarines. I can't recall off the top of my head how many if any heavy and light carriers suffered the same fate. Battleship Nagato either was not sunk or was raised immediately after the war by the US; it was used as a target ship in an atomic bomb test at a Pacific atoll. Sunk.

Might have been 95% effective against the original COVID variant. But that is not circulating anymore. It's most definitely not 95% effective against either delta or omicron variants.
I'm still wondering about SARS-CoV-2 (virus) vs COVID (disease). I've wondered since last summer if it works in the same way as HIV/AIDS. Where you can test positive for HIV, but not have AIDS. Always wondered how there was a test to see if one has a disease (COVID) instead of test to see if one has the virus (SARS-CoV-2). And wondered if it's possible to contract SARS-CoV-2, but have a strong immune system and never become symptomatic and have it cause COVID.

Most of them were liberty ships, iirc, with a flight deck.
Similarly, the Independence-class light carriers were basically Cleveland-class light cruisers with a flight deck dropped on top.
Of course, in most navies, an escort carrier was a scratch conversion of some existing cargo or passenger haulers. Only the US built dozens of them all along the same pattern.

There was a research paper out of Japan that showed that exposure to Human Coronavirus O43 (aka the common cold) gave resistance to COVID.
My guess is that is why it seems most people don't get it when exposed. Also...it does bring up an interesting question as to whether Pfizer and friends knew that when they ran their initial tests. It might explain why their reported data differs so radically from the actual real world data.

They had something like 10M soldiers out of a population of 160M people...because America was giving them food, and trucks, and everything else they needed to function. Immediately after the war the Soviets had to send their soldiers back to the farms and factories because they faced total economic collapse when American aid ended.
If WWIII starts in 1945 not only do the Soviets have to conquer the west before more American soldiers arrive - they have to seize the supplies of the present Western armies as well.

You can see young Sam Elliott on some of the old TV shows, Mission Impossible being one. He looks nothing like he does now. You can tell it's him, of course, but that old, grizzled, wizened Wild West look didn't come until much later. And yes, he needs lots of facial hair to complete that look.

I'm not sure I read all of that in there.
Sometimes Christians need to remember that not everything 'good' that happens is God is blessing your organization.
And not everything 'bad' that happens is God punishing your organization.
My church is small like that one. One day it could shut like that one. We accept that what God has in plan for us as a group and as individuals is in His will, not necessarily our actions.

India made a similar one called "Covaxin". I don't think it is available in the US.
My understanding is that Sinopharm is NOT considered particularly effective. The FNM numbers say Pfizer is 95% effective and Sinopharm less then 60%. Of course...that 95% number is bullshit - so I've presumed Sinopharm is much less then 60% as well...but maybe that isn't correct?

Side stick controllers are fine but they need to be active and they must not be allowed to be linear additive between stations. No relation between control angle and stick plus the ability for pilot and copilot to negate each other's input are direct causes of that failure. Almost all carriers and customers are going to want active side sticks going forward.

Yeah Truman didn't seem to be as big a fan of Stalin as FDR, and he'd made changes in the administration, but apparently not enough. If we'd just stood our ground and refused to let them in, we could have pushed the Soviets back to Russia. They would have made a lot of noise and been angry but there was literally no way they could fight.
But instead we let them just gobble up tons of territory around Russia as a "protective barrier" against evil western aggression and millions suffered as a result.

Command Pilot's position on the Airbus A-320 & 321 has the stick on the left side, throttles are on the traditional quadrant on the center pedestal. Co-Pilot's side has the stick on the right side, a mirror of the left side's layout.
Like the F-16, the Airbus' Fly By Wire system results in a stick that only moves about 1/8th of an inch in any direction, and it's the degree of pressure and rapidity (or slow and deft touch) applied to the stick, that the computers translate as the equivalent movement of many inches of "throw" of a conventional yoke.
Standard WWII fighter plane layout. Throttle on left side, Stick rising from the floor between the pilot's knees. Trim wheel might be damn near anywhere, from one airplane model to the next. P-38 had a half-wheel yoke control, much the same as bomber. And Brit fighters? Mostly an odd combination of control stick (for pitch) and articulated upper half of the stick to control the aerilons. Throttles, like all, were on the left.

Are we doing the silly counterfactual about the USSR in 1945 *again*?? With whose army, Congress, president, AND populace would that have been done? Presumably it would be after Japan was subdued, which would mean shipping forces *back* to Europe, again ..... just in time for ..... fall and winter.
Have noted before, we doubled the draft call in March '45 as part of a "manpower crisis" which was created by the massive demands of the planned Japan operations. There had been rumblings of dismay in Congress and the public since Okinawa, even Iwo Jima in some cases.
All of which leaves aside the tiny detail that there was no reason and no objective for any sudden unprovoked prolongation of the war - and its massive expansion, from our point of view - in attacking the Soviets. Time machines, killing Baby Hitler - this is that kind of thing.

Depends on the country - some have the stick on the right, some on the left - I think the Italians have the stick on the left.

Please go to the website linked below and scroll-down to the annotated cockpit diagram. Please note which side of the cockpit Item 22 is on in a Japanese A6M3 Model 32 Zeke (Hamp, Zero). I doubt the Japanese put throttles in a variety of left and right positions in their combat aircraft. Very poor practice when designing basic and intermediate trainers used before pilots transition to front-line combat aircraft. Also, control sticks and yokes in WW2-era aircraft were all center-mounted to my knowledge.

He had no money or supplies unless we, the allies, gave it to him, his supply chain without the allies' support was a thousand miles away, and his army, though large, was a drunken undisciplined horde of cannon fodder. He'd have caved like a tent in a tornado.

I'm not defending the wimminz diversity engineerz in FL, but to be fair, that bridge had not yet been assembled with it's full-height tower and suspension cables, when it collapsed. In a nutshell, it wasn't yet completed.
The FAILURE, came from not under-girding the span, once placed, with trusses aligned with the painted lane dividers, until that tower and it's cables could be rigged. It needed support from beneath, UNTIL it could've received support from above. It was a PROCESS failure, far more than a design failure. And traffic should've been prohibited until completion, due to vibration and displacement therefrom.

I'm not going to argue with that. But you have to admit that by the time they entered, it essentially amounted to grabbing as much as they could before the US arrived to say, "No further."
And in fairness, we didn't know that the atomic bombs would have the result that they did.
But I maintain - admittedly with 20/20 hindsight - that bringing the Soviets into the war against Japan was one of the mistakes with the biggest long-term consequences for the post-war decades.

Sure, lots of things can happen.
But this church shows all the signs of not being particularly Christian, let alone Biblical. And the results are inevitable. Why on earth would someone even attend a soulless church with no hope or gospel? For the woke sermon about vague spiritual and specific social justice things? For the aging congregation who goes just because they always have?
Look at the excuses: well everything used to be closed on Sunday, people went to church. We didn't try hard enough to recruit more people.
Nothing about the love of God, nothing about the truth, nothing about the Bible, nothing about hope and love and salvation. Nothing about Jesus but a vague platitude about peace.

Well, perhaps the process failure arose because the design was such that the elaborate falsework needed to support the partially-built bridge could not be emplaced, due to traffic considerations?

Short version: Doesn't that meant that the design process sucked. A critical design requirement should have been that no traffic closures were allowed until bridge installation was complete and certified.

Nah, look at the pics of the pre-collapsed span, as it sat across the lanes. A truss placed along each painted lane divider would be relative child's play. You or me could've designed it on the fly right there, on a legal pad. Or, temporarily eliminate a one lane of the three each-way lanes, and use the extra area for a wider truss footing.
Either way, support from beneath would've sufficed to hold the damn thing up, until the tower was raised and the cables tensioned. Now, how DURABLE the design would be after completion? Who the hell knows, but the Houston Ship Channel "New Bridge" being demolished doesn't give me great hope that the FL bridge would be a long-life structure, either.

Well, my point is, that if the fancy cable-stayed pedestrian bridge required interim support until the the towers could be built, and the cables tensioned, then maybe it was a poor design choice. There are numerous pedestrain overpasses elsewhere in the world, and most of them are simple trusses. And, I daresay, mostly pre-built, and simply lowered onto site-built piers by big cranes, during a brief road closure.

Crap:
A properly written critical design requirement should have accounted for the total installation process including either a design requirement that NO traffic impediment was allowed (nominally an insane requirement IMHO) or a specified time to complete an installation that WOULD allow the temporary interruption of traffic during the final installation process.
The intersectional design team should never have risked lives by accepting such an ill defined procurement document.

They failed to accurately calculate the stresses in the design stage. The company that reviewed the engineering did not notice the error and oh yes that company was not qualified by the Florida Dept. of Transportation to conduct such a review. And there was cracking in the concrete before the span collapsed.

You have got to be shitting me? Really? You mean the damn span was MEANT to hold itself up within it's own structure, and not supported as a suspension span with the loads held by the cables and led ground-ward, by the tower? I thought that was the whole POINT of the damn thing?

In my AO, there is the notorious "Kamikaze Curve", at the junction of three motorways, in a congestion zone, with a sharp curve rounding a steep side hill, a river crossing, and multiple exits, all within a mile or two
It's been revamped many times and it's still horrible!
Some locals drive it as a bypass of the downtown areas, but I avoid it unless I'm heading out all the way through on one of the motorways and have no other real choice

I was just reading something fascinating, something I'd never heard of before. It's called the "dollar auction" from game theory (someone I was reading used this to try to explain some of the irrational behavior we're seeing).
It goes like this. You offer to auction off a dollar, with a minimum bid of 1 cent. The winner gets the dollar, but the rules are the second highest bidder has to pay his bid and get nothing in return.
I think you can see where that will go. The bid price for the dollar goes way over a dollar, as everyone is scrambling not to lose. It's an example of the only way to win is not to play.

Demolishing what's been built so far of the Houston Ship Channel "New Bridge", is going to add $250 million to the already going $1 billion cost of the project.
Given that it's the same design team as the Florida Fiasco who designed what's built so far, I'm gonna call that demolition a bargain at twice the price.
I have to drive the Old Bridge, often enough. You do have to pay attention on the crossing.

Kennedy did everything you would imagine a lefty would do to be President - including contacting the USSR at that time to provide opposition research for his campaign - he was always the lowlife you knew he was when he let an innocent girl to drown to save his political viability.

I know some years of Suburban had a remotely-mounted power amp for the rear speakers; it mounted on the inside of the firewall, beneath the windshield. And, IIRC, I had to connect an orange wire from it to the "power antenna" output of the new stereo, so that the amp could be powered up when the stereo was turned on.
