Thursday's ONT Is On The Clock
Hello everybody! ONT time. Since the ONT is such a serious thread, maybe we should start by talking about slippery slopes:
As you can see, it's all David French's fault.
I Have No Idea Who This Is
I rocked up to a group of Taliban today and struck up a conversation, turns out I can buy the US army military equipment. RPG is $400, PKM is $500 and nightvision goggles is $300ish. Im going to the market tomorrow, could become a good legal business to export pic.twitter.com/aH7JA1Vt2a

Analysis: Alec Baldwin’s Gun Could Have Fired Without Him Pulling the Trigger, But Did It?
Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza identified the gun used in the shooting as a modern Pietta replica of a single-action army revolver. Those guns can be bought either with a transfer bar that makes it impossible for the firing pin to strike the primer unless the trigger is pulled or without one. Often, enthusiasts and collectors prefer the models without modern safety devices because it’s more authentic and perfectly safe when handled properly. A single-action revolver usually requires the hammer to be manually cocked, and the trigger be pulled for a shot to be fired. That’s why it’s referred to as a single-action: because the trigger performs just one action. It drops the hammer. In a double-action revolver, on the other hand, the trigger can both cock and release the hammer. However, a single-action revolver with the old-style firing mechanism can fire without either the hammer being cocked or the trigger being pulled. When the hammer is down on that kind of revolver, the firing pin protrudes and, if a live round is loaded in the chamber underneath, a sharp enough jolt can cause the pin to strike the round’s primer with enough force to set it off. This is why the “cowboy load” was developed. When carrying an old-style single-action revolver, it’s best practice to leave the chamber underneath the hammer unloaded. That way, a jolt can’t unintentionally set off a round.
We all know that, but it doesn't really apply. Baldwin was waving the gun around, not jolting it. The article finally does get around to what I've always thought happened. I bet he was squeezing the trigger from the second he drew then gun. He then fiddled with the hammer, and the firing pin struck the primer and a woman died. He never “pulled” the trigger because he was squeezing it the whole time.

Old Man River America's Achilles' Heel: the Mississippi River's Old River Control Structure
Pretty interesting look at the engineering feat that keeps the Mississippi River where we want it to go, as opposed to where it wants to go. The river is overdue for a shift, into the course of the Atchafalaya River, which is twice as steep and half as long as the bed the river is in now. The only reason it hasn't switched yet is the Old River Control Structure. The crowning jewel in hat of the the US Army Corps of Engineers, the ORCS is an engineering marvel, but there are problems on the horizon. I'll let you read the article for more, but it's fascinating (all 3 parts). H/t Comrade Arthur
Mentally Ill How the trans ideology dehumanises women
It's a book review of a book by a dude who is trans, and it's impossible to read the excerpts without realizing that he is mentally ill, literally foaming at the mouth crazy.
This book is about his gender transition. It is one of the most misogynistic books I have ever read. The way it talks about women and their bodies is repellent. Lavery tells his doctor he wants ‘titty skittles’ – that is, progesterone supplements to ‘enlarge one’s breasts’. Hot tip for Mr Lavery: women don’t refer to their breasts as titties. He talks about the ‘leaky boobs’ of those ‘sour’ feminists and Mumsnet users who are critical of the ideology of transgenderism. Yeh, why can’t you old hags have pert titties like Mr Lavery apparently does? He writes of his ‘phantom pussy’, which is probably just the ‘inguinal canals into which my testicles retreat when frigid’ but to him it nonetheless feels like a ‘subcutaneous cluster of nerve endings and open space, roughly oval’, like a vagina. Oh sure, exactly like a vagina. When did it become acceptable to write about women’s bodies in such a deluded, degraded fashion?There's more at the link, but I warn you, it's a wild ride.

Life in the Jungle report for tonight
Leaving the kitchen window open for the cat to go in and out has some consequences.
Big dang buzzfly in the house for two days. First thing when I woke up this morning, he buzzed me. Finally met his end a few minutes ago at the hands of Mighty Huntress Jo.
Thought some really huge bug was in the kitchen this morning, batting furiously against the window. Turned out it was the first hummingbird we'd seen this year. Escorted outside using the Mindful Webworks BugCup™.
I suppose I should've saved all this for the pet thread...

The name of their boat? Kon-Tiki, after a sun god, who was based in turn on a legendary white king who had been banished from Peru onto balsa rafts thousands of years ago. Tonight I am watching the original 1951 Oscar winning documentary filmed by the leader of that crew, Thor Heyerdahl, and listening to CSN's "Southern Cross", the greatest sailing song of all time, on infinite loop: https://tinyurl.com/CSN-Southern-Cross
If you're unfamiliar with the Kon-Tiki Expedition, here's wiki:

This is one of the greatest adventure stories ever told. The six crew members caught sharks with their bare hands, and probably had an old Norwegian battleship following them just to carry their gigantic clanking balls.

Sometimes you can get used parts from those auto junkyards. Do they still have those? You see if they have a car of the same make, model, and year, and they take the parts off it. When I was in my twenties, my brother took me to one of those to get an alternator, or starter, or something. It was an interesting place. In the building they had, the owner had all these engines lined up and organized.

1. Catch a dolphin (not porpoise);
2. Hold dolphin by tail over ocean off side of balsa log raft;
3. Don't let shark bite your hand off when he takes the dolphin;
4. When the shark flips over to dive and sticks his tail up out of the water, grab at the base of the tail and PULL!
5. Shark goes instantly to sleep. Pull on deck.
6. Climb mast, since shark will wake up.

Dime store philosophy:
Remember that scene in Avengers where Bruce Banner says "wanna know my secret? I'm always angry."
The world is a lot like that. It's always been screwed up, things have always been awful for most of us, doom has always been impending any minute now. And it's only our ability to escape into delusion that makes things seem bearable for a while. And yet - the sun still shines, and the birds still sing. The final answer, I think, is that in the grand scheme of things our little concerns just don't matter a whole lot. And once you accept that they don't matter, then you don't have to be concerned about what will or won't happen to the world. It will take care of itself - or not. Whatever. Meanwhile, find what joy you can.

The Spanish.
The Polynesians on Rappa Nui probably got to the West coast of South America, but probably never got back to main stream Polynesia. There may be some indication of rats and chickens in Chile, precolumbian, but it is said to be hard to tell because of the close dating. I think Rappa Nui only had chickens and rats, the pigs and goats didn't make it that far.

There was a famous story about 4 or 5 years ago of some 30 something accountant in the midwest who had always been conventional, always done things "correctly", and who was totally sick of his life. He decided (and wrote to friends) that he was going to End It All, because it was all so pointless - but he had managed to save up about $20k, and thought it was dumb to depart with all that unspent. So he decided to take one last fling trip to Puerto Vallarta, and spent a week blowing the whole $20k on mexican hookers and cocaine.
And of course, at the end all he could say was "THAT WAS INCREDIBLE! I WANT TO LIVE! I.... WANT... TO... LIVE!!!"

Might be useful in southern climates, where most of the year is A/C season. Presumably the heat pump water heater would warm the water by cooling the room. Here in Alberta, where I pay to keep the house warm, the cost savings might be less, or even negative.
One thing I would like to see, on refrigerators and freezers, is ducts to the outdoors, with software-controlled fans to duct in cool, and/or frigid outside air to keep the cool/cold compartments at their proper temperature without kicking in the power-hog compressor.

Industrial and commercial controls have been doing that for a long time, it was just way more expensive and complex than for residential shit. But it was all local control.

The idea is to mount them in the garage, or outside the conditioned space of the house. In summertime, you're indeed A/Cing the garage, moving heat from ambient to heat the water.
They call them "hybrids" because they have regular resistance elements in them as back up. In wintertime, it will switch to that, or act as "strips". You can look up the performance and temperature ranges.

If you mean heat pump water heaters, I'm not familiar with this tech, but I do know that an ac unit running on cool has the outdoor condenser unit dumping a lot of heat. Somehow the system transfers that waste heat to the water heater. Don't know about the efficiency, reliability or cost, but it makes sense.
If you DO mean heat pump ACs, they are just the cat's meow! Coupled to the proper thermostat, you can set the temp you like, and it will automatically shift from heat to cool based on the temp you set. No WIFI involved,

They are loud though, when they are running. Put it somewhere you don't care about the noise. Mine lasted maybe 8 years before the heat pump portion $&@t the bed. Maybe it needs a shot of freon or whatever, can't remember what the code was. So I run it on the resistance elements.

Quite handy with the outrigger, Banka type boat, it was very flexible in how it was set.

I was looking it up. The low temp limit is about 40F for the standard "all in one" units, Water tank with the heat pump unit on top.
They do make "split" systems, with an outdoor evaporator unit, and claim those can go down to -25F ambient and still heat water efficiently.

An air conditioner is a heat pump. It just cools the inside and dumps the heat outside. Reverse that and hit the inside, and you have a heat pump.
Thermodynamically a heat pump is the opposite of a heat engine. In an engine, you let heat flow downhill (from hot to cold, as it naturally does), and extract work in the process.
A heat pump just reverses that. You input work to the system in order to pump heat uphill, from cold to hot.

Majority of polynesian goups used felted bark fiber cloth, the barks of several trees was pounded until it shredded and then felted. I believe the Maori had weaving looms of sort, and of course all the peoples had net weaving traditions.
The trade fabrics did have a large change in the societies since it was cheaper, easy to trade for, and more flexible in usage. Women did not have to spend huge amounts of their days beating on bark to make clothing.

You buy the materials, and I'll do the cutting and bending and welding. You'll have a pulpit.
But you're buying the steak dinner and drinks at the Number 13 Steakhouse. Between the materials, dinner and drinks, it'll be cheaper to have your local do the fabricating. Oh, and don't forget to have it electropolished when it's completed. Makes ALL the difference.

The big question was why did the civilization collapse? They are blaming warfare and climate change (darned SUVs) but where did the copper tech go and where did the people go?
There were droughts in the 1300s in the Southwest and the Aztecs moved to central Mexico at that time, but I don't see a lot of links in climate from there to the Mississippi valley .
I think there was initial European contacts at that time that spread a European disease through the Mississippi drainage, and possibly the East coast as well. However there is no archeological evidence, though a single ship or possibly more that touched and left would not leave much physical evidence

Well. If the area isn't red and streaky and hot or painful, you're prolly ok to wait until tomorrow. Call your doc.

I think I will try to grow Taro again, in the Summer it is hot enough, and with a tub I think I can keep a swampy enough bed for them to do well. I was going to do a worm bed anyways. I might do two tubs and let the taro tub get the worm-tea first.
Then grow it in Korea where the winters are fierce, so Oregon may not be too bad.

Insom. Don't go to places like Mexican beaches or Thailand, etc. They're known for debauchery, but they're also known to be pros at taking your every last dime, and Bob at you know where is known to monitor your every move and cel contact "over there".
My neighbor was a Dr. in Colombia. Things have cooled down there since the Escobar days. Your money goes far, and so do the women. Or Paraquay. Chile. Argentina.
Med resorts are for the filthy rich. Spain is accessible, but the "tourists" there tend to be various U.K. and Germans. Not actual Spaniards. Finally. Find a local pub, one you "feel right" in, and sip there enough to become known to the staff. Odds are, they'll make introductions for you.

I did call my doc., several days ago.... Aside from the big bump/pouch, the area is red, puffy, and has little bumps (like some swarthy dudes get after shaving), but it's not painful or hot, no streaks, and my forearm/wrist are healing. Range of motion and strength have improved too. It's actually much easier to get to the ER than my doc's office. Just looked again and the redness seems to have decreased a bit.
Years ago I got strep throat for which I was proscribed obnoxiouscilin (amoxicilin) which promptly gave me hives all over my body. That is misery.

Re Antibiotic gut flora destruction: kefir. Fermented milk product, and is one of the best probiotics there is. The straight stuff tastes something awful, but they make flavored versions of it that are tolerable.

They sell it in the grocery stores around here -- it's usually in the yogurt section, or close to it. "Lifeway" is a common brand, and there's another one. Publix sells that other one I can't think of.
They have strawberry, raspeberry, blueberry, and even chocolate flavor sometimes. This is one of the things you can thank the health nuts for popularizing enough to get it in stores.
Again, it's one of the best probiotics there is, much better than yogurt, and all those expensive pills you'll see them selling.

Kefir is also good for general upset stomach problems, at least for some people. I first got to using upon recommendation for the antibiotic gut discombulating treatment, but after reading it about, tried it a few times when my bowels were otherwise in an uproar. It helped.
As I'm getting older, I'm discovering that I've inherited some "bowel uproar" problems, known. I won't mention the name of my maternal grandmother's family name, but it's the "X-stomach". My mother has it, and I apparently do too, as I'm noting the symptoms.
When one gets to 29, if one has those genes, one's stomach gets tricky. Crampy and shit. Kefir actually helps.

I think the "X-stomach" may have to do with the dreaded FODMAPs. I love turnip greens, mustard greens, spinach, etc. Not too big a fan of collards, though.
Anyway, when I hit 29, really good and hard, I noticed that if ate too much of those in any one setting, my gut would get too cramping and burning.
A bait of too much raw onion will do it too. Kefir can settle that down for me, I learned.
Science(TM) could probably explain the X-stomach, but it's not too bad for me, yet.

As a former Scout myself, what the Woke did to Scouting pisses me off. Scouting was a great way for a boy to let his inner arsonist out by building bonfires and such as well as playing with sharp implements like knives and axes. Beheading rattlesnakes that slithered into your campsite and throwing the heads into the fire to watch that head continue to bite was a guilty pleasure. No, we didn't kill all snakes, just the bad ones that could do damage as we were usually a good road-less distance away from decent medical treatment, so a survival skill.

50 ft. class Ketch, conventional mizzen, loose-footed main with vertical self-furling, self furling jib and hank-on cutter rig staysail. You can also fly a hank on inner jib from the mizzen to a stanchion anchored just aft of the mainmast itself.
That'll give you up to five sails aloft, under way. The loose-footed main gives a LOT of forgiveness from gusts, not burying the leeward rail into the drink. Plus, it's a superb light-air performer. Wee bit of trimming under way, and it's still a sterling, single-handed ocean going rig. Oh, did I say "not the fastest?"
Well, it's not going to run with a Volvo Ocean Race sloop, or a large cruising cat or tri. But, it'll still give you 200 miles per day on average.

I'll be with you on the water in spirit, but alas, you'll have to sail on, regardless. I'm coaching at Corsicana in May, I have a few days in Walnut Creek, CA in June, and I've got a week blocked out for Corsicana again for the TxMoMeet, in October.
Best I could do (and even if I could), is to help you with a day's "orientation" dockside and a bay's shakedown, with your crew before you weigh anchor for real.
I can firehose a lot of sailing info into your recruits, but would that do more good, or harm?

And he yells to the cook, with his arms open wide
"Bring me more fish, set it down by my side"
And he wants so to belch, but he's too full to try
So he gets up and laughs, and he zips up his fly.

You want time travel, as Godel showed Einstein, you need mucho frame dragging. Mass-energy that is spinning, big time. That's how you get closed time-like curves, which are time travel.
Only problem with time travel is the grandfather paradox. You go back in time, kill your grandfather. But then you don't exist, and so can't go back in time. But then you exist, and then go back in time. Such is a paradox, a logical contradiction in the universe.
That's bad.

Besides these logical contradiction thingies, you can also have non-contradictory, but equally problematic things caused causal loops. Rather than killing your grandfather, you go back in time and save your grandfather's life. He was about to be hit by a bus, but you went back in time and saved his life.
You are your own cause. You exist because you exist. This is just as bad as a contradiction, but it doesn't "blow up the universe". It leads to an "acausal spacetime". Shit came into existence that is not predicted by the initial conditions. Just as bad. Means "anything can happen".
Again, this is bad. While General Relativity allows it, most everyone assumes that some other law of physics precludes it. There are hints, but no proof.
Time travel is a real bitch. Just fucks everything up.

Professor warms them they cannot do anything to change the past, or the universe will be destroyed by a contradiction. Fry meets his grandfather, who is an idiot. Meets his grandmother, who gets the hots for Fry.
Fry tries to save his grandfather from his stupidity, and puts in right at ground zero of an atomic bomb test. Like grandfather like grandson.
Fry doesn't cease to exist, so he reasons that was not his real grandfather. So he's free to bang his grandmother.

The Jean-Claude Van Damme movie, 'Timecop', had a funy line. Ron Silver's character goes back in time to talk to his younger, thinner self. He tells him: 'Do yourself a favor, lay off the fucking candy bars!'

If anyone at present could create closed time-like curve spacetime, it would be Elon.
Elon may indeed be his own grandpa. And Twitter is his prophet.

A Tesla battery fire creates a ring singularity and closed time like curves emanate from the conflagration. Elon steps into the vortex....

Tucker did an hilarious takedown of our new Ministry of Truth she-minister tonight. She actually sang a song to the tune of Julie Andrew's Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious:
Here's the first thing I can find, showing that:

Nina is/was a fellow at the Wilson center, named for our first mentally incapacitated, war mongering bigot president.

Nina's singing there convinces me, we are indeed in a simulation. This universe is a simulation. The simulators are now smoking something really heavy. Getting high and just fucking with us big time.
See that clip of Elon smoking a joint on Rogan. See how he arches his eyebrow most dramatically as he takes a big ol' hit of some righteous shit. That's what the simulators are doing to us now.
Just fuckin' with us for shits and grins.
