We're All Going To Freeze To Death ONT
Good Evening! Welcome to the Thursday ONT. It's below freezing here in ETX, and the natives are not taking it well. School was cancelled for rain today, and they've already called it for tomorrow too. In other news, we've been remodeling our kitchen for weeks now, and I'm happy to report that we're finished!

This is why Saddam Hussein’s fedayeen troops wore Darth Vader helmets
Yes, Saddam’s Fedayeen, Arabic for “Men of Sacrifice,” wore enormous Darth Vader helmets. Their commander, Hussein’s son Uday, was a huge Star Wars fan.So the little psycho was a Star Wars fan. Well, OK, I guess if you have your own private militia, you can dress them up any way you like. Didn't work out too well for them, did it. Tuesday, I went to Dallas to watch the Flames/Stars hockey game. The Stars were up 3-1, about 7 minutes left in the game, when they played a Star Wars scene on the big screen. The crew of the Death Star had the Stars logo photoshopped onto their helmets, and they blew up Alderan, which was 'shopped into the flaming C. I turned to the guy behind me and said "Doesn't that make you guys the bad guys? And set the scene for the plucky rebel victory? Besides, we've got Darth Vladar (Calgary's backup goalie, who was playing at the time, is named Dan Vladar, but the fans all call him Darth)". He laughed, but, damned if it didn't. The Flames scored 3 goals in the last five and a half minutes to get the win. GFG!
Speaking Of Hockey Johnny Gaudreau (#13), the Flames' best player, has some incredible moves. Check out these clips from last night's game against the 'Yotes:

Plummeting Maternal Mortality Rates Are a Sign of Progress
As the knowledge of best medical practices spread and pharmaceutical drugs became more affordable, maternal mortality rates plummeted throughout the world. The global maternal death rate fell from 385 per 100,000 live births in 1990 to 216 in 2015. That’s a reduction of 44 percent. In sub-Saharan Africa, the world’s poorest region, the number of maternal deaths fell from 987 to 547 over the same time period. That’s a reduction of 45 percent.
Unfortunately, North America didn't reflect the trend, the mortality rate went from 12 to 14 over the same time frame. That's still minuscule compared to all of human history.

US companies relying on American-made products and raw materials are THRIVING during supply chain crisis
Bayard Winthrop, president, founder and CEO of apparel manufacturer and retailer American Giant, explained in an interview with Business Insider that his company did not have any supply shortages during the holiday season because he is close to nearly every aspect of his company’s supply chain. American Giant’s cotton is grown in the South. It is spun into fabric and tailored into clothing in factories in the Midwest and the American Southeast. Customers order these clothes online and they are delivered straight to their doorsteps. Winthrop pointed out that this means none of the company’s products or raw materials are stuck on container ships. He also doesn’t need to pay extra for anything to be air-freighted into the United States. “We don’t spend any time talking about supply chain stuff internally,” he said.What an amazing concept. Here's hoping that this wave of “reshoring” becomes a tsunami. Attention Single Morons
Student ditches university to become hunter on remote island with population of 22 What's funny to me is the vast number of women out there who are absolutely clueless and unaware of how many men just swoon when we read an article like this, even though they themselves would swoon over a tough, competent, capable mountain man type. Feral instincts are hard to breed out of a population, no matter how comfortable modern life gets.
Water Woes From Philly to Fayette, water woes cross geographic and racial lines More excellent reporting from Salena Zito, making the important point that things that are often portrayed as “racial” in the mainstream press prove to be anything but when examined in detail.
He points to the lead contamination in the public water supply of Flint, a crisis that received a lot of attention because it came under the microscope of national politics in 2016. But then it just went away. “That is the problem: Flint wasn’t a one-off; it wasn’t an exception. There are hundreds of cities and towns in this country, just like Flint, with drinking water contamination issues,” Mr. Siegel stressed.

having remodeled a couple older houses, it's fun to note that even in the 60's a lot of older houses had the washing machines in the kitchen, because they weren't built with a dedicated washroom and that was where the plumbing connections were. Some people stuck them out in the garage (if they had one) but that kind of sucked in the winter.

During the development of "the gadget" (as it was ordered to be called) so many things went sideways, you would never believe it. Robert Oppenheimer had reservations about the gadget, but those came much later. The team that invented the gadget had too much to worry about, like if it would even work, or if it did work, would it set the entire atmosphere on fire...
The "gadget" was in fact, 2 gadgets, two entirely different bombs with different results.
As for diplomacy, there was none. Communications between the US and Japan were non existent at the time.

8 years ago I had my last baby via planned c-section. It was the first shift back on duty for a nurse that had just done a mission trip to Africa with another OBGYN. She said, he said "He wanted to save a life" and they did. A lady from the savanna really needed rescuing, and they did. Flash forward 8 years, and I needed emergency surgery for my lady bits, and he saved me too. I am eternally grateful for our doctors and our medical system here, even though it is way too bureaucratic.

I remember reading a good point. You could take someone who cooked in any American kitchen for the 40s to the 50s and put them in a modern kitchen, and they'd know what to do. There would be some new things like microwaves and coffee makers and stuff that would be alien, but it wouldn't be that big of a shock.
Now, take someone from the 1890s or early 1900s in even a '50s kitchen and they would be totally lost.

As for critics of the Bomb, remember that Truman had four options: Invasion, Blockade, Negotiation, and the Bomb. Invasion would have been a bloodbath. Blockade would have killed hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Japanese by starvation - while the million-man Japanese army in China ran amok. As for negotiation, the Japanese weren't into that - and again, that army in China wouldn't have sat on their hands while the talks were going on. Truman chose the Bomb -- not only because it would end the war soonest, and so save the most lives, but because he knew that American patience with the war was running out: we wanted it finished, period. It was a brutal decision, but the right one.

My recollection is that they had three bombs. Two of one type, one of the other (fat man and little boy). The trinity test was of the fat man design. The design was tested all of once before being used on Japan. Little Boy never received a test at all. They just used it, confident, sort of, in the theory. This was pure old-school science fiction.

Yes you could. Electricity, running water, and industrial production revolutionized the kitchen starting in the '20s. I used the '40s as the starting point, because it took many in rural areas didn't have that. My mother, born in 1930, had a chore of keeping the woodbox for the kitchen stove filled up.
The "triangle" configuration of stove, sink, and fridge being arranged for efficiency was created in the '20s.

MacArthur took credit for that, he personally lobbied to keep the Emperor on because he said it would avoid having to do a heavy handed occupation. He was correct. Of course, that also meant the US had to whitewash Hirohito's record and pretend he was a lot less involved with the War Party than he was.

In my state, autopsy is required by law for "at home" death, so county coroner stepped in when BF died.
Other states... ?
Perhaps your BIL's body was in fact autopsied. It takes time to compile the results.

From what little reading I was just doing, basically, if next of kin wants an autopsy and is willing to pay for it, no problem getting one done even if nobody really thinks there is a need. It has to be "authorized" -- that is, it would be illegal for someone to take a body out in the garage and get some hack sawbones over and poke around, but that's about it.

So, befitting a superpower near the height of its global dominance, and involving a weapons program a generation ahead of its time, a solution was found.
Crew threw lines over the tail of the plane and hung off them, pulling tail down/nose up, enough to allow the trolley to roll under the bomb bay. Hi tech, futuristic!

We have a transfer switch to run the well and furnace in case of a power failure. We have the furnace in the RV running and it's full of gas if we have to use it.

Kyoto was really the only off-limits city of importance (the Japanese moved industry there once it was clear it wouldn't be hit). Then there were those "preserved" for the atomic missions, a futile attempt to maximize "shock" on the Japanese side.
And Hiroshima may have been the biggest urban military target in Japan on August 6. HQ of 2nd General Army, responsible for defending Kyushu, and major rear hub for this effort. Command staff except for CO, and possibly tens of 1,000s personnel, killed by bomb.

Those gas n' coal plants were killed by the Pen & Phone of the O'bummer admin, and Abbot was not Governor, then. And you can't "put 'em back online", as they were all summarily disassembled and sent to China, there to be rebuilt and used by our enemy.
The 1 yr ago ERCOT board is no more, it is now staffed by Texans. But I'll agree with Hadrian's sentiment. This State is insane to depend so much on wind, vs. icing conditions. Doesn't work for airplane wings, won't work for birdkiller blades, either.

Which was doomed to failure from the start. Stalin was "unavailable" (iirc, he was in a meeting with the other Allied leaders at the time). And given the concessions that the US had already made to get him into the war, he was unlikely to be interested in a Japanese surrender before he got at least a minimal share of the prizes in East Asia.

Having spent a 1/3rd of my 30 yr career in the Far East and a vast majority of that in Okinawa. Okinawa was the largest amphibious landing in the pacific and without a doubt one of the most important battles in all of WWII. I can say that a lot of this hits home as I've had the opportunity to walk the hallowed ground of Hacksaw Ridge, the honeycombs, suicide cliffs, and many other pivotal battles that took place.
I'm so honored to have had the privilege to have served where heroes have gone before me. To have been able to serve on Oki would top my bucket list if it weren't for my two visits to the ultimate hallowed ground of Iwo Jima which was surreal on both occasions. The last where I had the honor of reenlisting one of my closest friends for his tour before retirement.

Likewise. Dole, McCain & Romney, three of the most hideously unsuited candidates, ever. Peak GOPe, in fact.
Trump. Broke. Them. And in the doing, though not widely noted, he thoroughly vindicated Ms. Palin's candidacy and subsequent plight. Alas though, the horrors of what the Palin family life became, well.. the left's dreams were fulfilled, after all. They might not've got their scalp, but they sure as hell killed off her political viability, from thereon.

Crap like that is a snapshot into a time capsule that you don't want your house to become.
While there is no such thing as a perfectly "timeless" design, one can get closer than not, by sticking to long accepted materials, designs and executions. Otherwise, you're just another in a long list of turquoise formica, avocado fridges, harvest gold stoves, shag carpeting, and trendy, mid-century furnishings from The Time That Taste Forgot.

It was seeing a pic of Palin and Allen West shaking hands at that DC motorcycle rally. The confluence of energies - something about it - suddenly made me feel less jaded, like, just maybe, we'd turned a corner. Both have faded as Conservative Superstars, but for that time, that moment, it was like... truck freedom convoys converging.

Over the A grade 1/2" plywood walls, which took the place of sheetrock over the studs, Olde Worlde carpenters came in, and using rolls of veneer from one single maple tree, proceeded to create not "paneling", but a Maple Monolith throughout the 40'x90' ballroom. Interrupted of course, by doors, windows, display shelves and the like. But the veneers went on in numbered order, so there was no jarring change of shade or color, from one section to the next.

I have heard that placing a cake of dry ice on Formica will cause the glue joint to pop. Then move on to the next area. Once you get a corner or edge lifted, a scraper blade on a reciprocating saw should work to left the rest.

I used a 4'x6' scrap of it to cover the mesh-steel bed of my wee utility trailer. Been there, outdoors, since 2008, still going strong. I'd rate it as one-degree removed from "submersible".

Heat gun. That will soften the glue and release the old formica. You start at one end, heat it up and start pealing it back. Get long wooden dowels and lay one about every foot or so under the formica as you're pealing it back. That will make sure the formica don't reglue itself should you slip and let it go.

There's a similar for roof decking, (Tech-Shield) featuring a laminate of thick aluminum foil as a radiant barrier, and I've been in the attics so installed. Stuff WORKS on a hot Texas summer day!
Oddly, Advantech is proscribed for sheathing, as the epoxy structure prevents vapor movement. See, Tyvek wraps, it lets the water vapor out, while keeping water droplets from intruding. Advantech won't let the vapor out, and now you have a moldy house.

I thought about doing that, because the wall oven has the microwave as part of it. All I had to do is find a pair of doors that are close, no biggie, I call dad, he orders them since he still has his dealerships. The cab under the cooktop is 33", so that no biggie except its right next to the damn wall oven, so stoves being 30" leaves a stupid 3" section of top next to the wall oven. The design just sucks. It also has that spindle fence on top of the wall cabs. Damn, if I didn't do 1000 feet of that shit in the early 80s. This house was built in 1983, so it was like a bad acid flashback seeing that shit. lol

Just tackle and finish off ONE room. Just. One. Room.
And then, the next. In time, you'll have more done than not, and a time later, you'll have it 99% done.
100% done? Nah, ain't gonna happen. Not even on a brand spankin' new NEW house. "Impossible!"
Senior, that word means exactly what I think you think it means!

Oddly, Advantech is proscribed for sheathing, as the epoxy structure prevents vapor movement. See, Tyvek wraps, it lets the water vapor out, while keeping water droplets from intruding. Advantech won't let the vapor out, and now you have a moldy house.

Hah . I had spindle columns in my master bed room that was a design feature to separate between bedroom and master bath area. Instead of removing them I just enclosed them to make them into square columns.

Works like a charm. I used to make some of the counter tops for the kitchens we did. Formica, corian, etc. Heat is your friend when having to soften contact glue. You have to get it heated up good enough, hot enough to where it you should be wearing gloves. Get the starting point hot and go at it with a thin putty knife to start it and it will start peaking up and walk your heat along at as you go. Gotta go slow and don't rush it.

Thats why we used long wooden dowels during the gluing. You glue both surfaces, lay the wooden dowels down about a foot apart, then lay the formica on, get it lined up perfect, then pull the dowels out one at a time while hitting the formica with the hard roller. Do the edges first, get them sanded flush with the deck, then lay the deck formica on, hit it with the trimming router, then switch to the trim router with a beveling bit for the edge. Done.

Copper is very nice, too. Also has antibacterial properties. So does silver. For projects like this, the cost of materials is rarely the deal-breaker. I just looked it up. Sterling silver sheets in 14 gauge (.064") are currently 28 dollars per ounce. Comes in sheets 6" by 36"; an inch is 2.12 oz. You can work cost per square foot. Joints could be soldered with silver solder.

Actually, even back when I was doing it they were starting to come out with some pretty good water based contact cements, and you were able to use a roller to apply it, so it was almost as fast as painting. you could get the deck and formica glued up in under 5 minutes. We had a spray pot and used the regular stuff, but we did use the water base glue if we had to make the top on the job and not in the shop. It worked good.

Wasn't. Easy. Wasn't cheap, either. Had to buy a 2nd sheet of the stuff to start over, when I turned the first effort into about four square ft. of "fail". Other pro-tip. Plenishing hammers of the metal forming type are hard to find and pricey to buy. Hammers went wayward in the great divorce dispersal of '99. But I still have the leather, lead shot filled bag for the hammering.
It's a bit much for a rifle rest, but it'd be a great one if so employed!

It was also laborious to find a roofer to build a "system" of ventilating spacers over the roof sheath on our other big building, to mount metal roof panels. Established companies with nice brochures and finance plans just walked away. Finally I met a young guy just going big, a go-getter who took it as a challenge, and now he's done the same system for a couple of others. A/C usage in that building is down 50%. I didn't expect the heating to improve also, but it has (not as dramatically).

Contact Cement was like using a thatched roof to comply with the Miami Dade Hurricane Code for a new roof.
You can salvage the eucalyptus boards. Rip down the old paneling, and use the aforementioned adhesive, directly on the studs. Press the boards onto the glued studs, smear around about a 1/4" smudge, pull off, then replace and secure. Few colored stain grade tacks, oughta do it.
If you have to secure underlying "paneling" to receive the eucalyptus boards, then go with some 1/4" generic ply, and let 'er rip.

There is a kink in the installation. An anti-tip device must be installed which is an L shaped piece of metal that nails to the wall and floor which allows one foot of the range to slip into preventing it from tipping forward.
Problem is the range is sliding into a notch and there is no way to get to side of the range - per directions - to install the L piece.
Posted by: Braenyard at February 04, 2022 02:21 AM (zNIcM)
I encountered the same.
Fabricate a near-perfect wedge to drive under the front of the stove to do the same job. Make it slightly oversized, then use your palm sander and 50 grit to trim it to "just right".
Tap it in with the rubber mallet, and "finis".

Look into the DaVinci roof shingle system. Much as you've described, and if installed with correct stainless screws, warranted to a 150 mph wind speed.
Problem you'll run into with commercial roofs, is that installers might be willing to go a great many ways, but most won't install what their own warranty backers won't insure.
You found a rare contractor there, and should support him as he grows large enough to be a Factory Authorized Installer. Then, YOUR insurance will be happy, too.

You will need to put some sort of finish coat over the cabinets to be able to clean them and keep moisture out. I know its already pretty moisture proof. IF you have something sealing it from the weather. Inside tho it can soak in also tends to chip at the edges.
The look is different tho.

Thats code in a lot of areas, or maybe all by now. It don't matter until you try and sell the house. lol
One of the reasons it came out was so kids didn't use the open door as a step ladder and end up tipping the stove out of the opening, or in case anybody falls on the open door (darwin shit). Stoves usually have a removable bottom drawer giving you a view of where the bracket goes. Working through the opening when the drawer is removed you can preposition the bracket, and just make a mark on the wall while the stove is slid in. Pull the stove out, screw the bracket in and you're done. Well thats how we used to do it anyway. I'm guessing stoves still have the removable bottom drawer.

I am but a High School Graduamate, who was kicked out of 8th grade Advanced English, back to the regular class, because I could not embrace the more sophisticated agenda.
Which was wealthy snobs comparing notes of which Sci Fi novels they had read, which I had not. And "self-pacing" class assignments, based on those as not (and never yet) unread novels.
Those "classmates" have most assuredly, arisen to become government drones and FBI shitweasels, since then.

My 7th grade English teacher HATED me.

But I could always answer his questions, unless it involved the diagramming or definition of a grammatical term. But WRITING? Oh, how he hated that I could WRITE. In spite of my slouching ignorance.
Made it to the upper echelons of the Fortune 1000 that way, but the forces against me eventually prevailed. Credentialism Uber Alles!

Feynman was given an IQ test early on. He only scored 125. Which should tell you something about IQ tests.

Feynman had a thick NY accent -- he sounded like he be one of Archie Bunker's bar buddies.
One the greats, Fermi I believe exclaimed, "He sounds like a bum!"
He was chosen for the Manhattan Project because he was not afraid to tell Neils Bohr and the other greats that they were full of shit when they were full of shit. Bohr himself approved of that.
He clowned around some, and in what was probably "ill advised", he cracked the safe combinations of Bohr and the others, safes where they kept classified information. He put a silly message in there to show "Feynman was here".
You see, he knew how they thought, and easily figured out what clever combination of numbers each one would likely use. Each one would think he came up with some combination of numbers no one would think of in a million years.
