Wednesday Overnight Open Thread – 10/06/2021
What roles did you play? Any funny stories involving your childhood plays, or perhaps the school plays your kids participated in?
“I would rather have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned.”
“If you thought that science was certain - well, that is just an error on your part.”
“Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt.”
“Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.”
“It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.”
“I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy.”
“It is necessary to look at the results of observation objectively, because you, the experimenter, might like one result better than another.”
"The theoretical broadening which comes from having many humanities subjects on the campus is offset by the general dopiness of the people who study these things."
"Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts."

I was the Artful Dodger back in 5/6th grade...can't remember exactly, definitely before my voice changed.
My brothers, bless their hearts, thought I would make a mess of things. Didn't happen, the whole show came off without a hitch...up yours bro's!
The other plays of the year were:
Billy Budd, and the Caine Mutiny.
I opted out on those, I was born for musicals!

There was a very sweet girl in my high school that had polio. Horribly debilitating, and wheel chair bound.
In retrospect, the interesting thing I remember was that there were absolutely no accommodations made for her wheel chair. BUT, whenever she had a class on a different floor, seemingly and magically at least four young "men" (not boys) appeared and carried her safely up, or down, stairs as required!

In Junior High drama, I played the leading role in "The Reluctant Vampire". I was a vegetarian vampire. It was as bad as you can imagine, but I think I pulled off the Transylvania accent quite well.
The best cereal box prizes were the real metal U.S. State license plates in Honeycomb boxes. Kaboom only had the occasional dried rodent carcass, which was kinda cool, I guess.

When our grandson was in his fourth grade Texas history musical, he made a special trip into the audience before they began to explain to his grandfather that all facts might not be totally accurate.
"You know, G-Daddy, it's like a spoof, okay? Okay?"
He was seriously worried that his grandfather might stop the show.
I was simultaneously chewing a hole in my cheek trying not to laugh, and mentally peeing my pants.

Little known Finnish Baseball Rule: Basemen and runners can engage in knife fights when the runner approaches the base. However, they can only cut their opponent a little bit and the fight must end when the umpire calls the ball dead.

===
When the injected polio vaccine was first introduced, one of the labs, Cutter labs, had a flaw in the inactivation process, and as a result, 40,000 vaccinated kids got polio from.the vaccine. This is known as the Cutter Incident. If the process is done correctly though, the injected vaccine is very safe.
The oral polio vaccine (sugar cube), which was developed later, can also occasionally cause polio. When it was the standard vaccine it was estimated to cause around 8 polio cases a year.

And it's double-screwed in multiple ways. Young men today don't have the couth to do that. If one does, he has to weigh the benefits of helping someone out with the possible legal and social ramifications of doing so. And, it's 50/50 that the girl in the wheelchair in 2021 would scream like a banshee about patriarchy and othering and various other bullshit if anyone even attempted to help. So, through laziness, unsophistication, fear or just plain wariness, everyone keeps their head down and avoids everyone else.

I was supposed to play the teacher in a third grade history play, and I came down with the measles--three-day kind, not the bad stuff. But my parents conscientiously wouldn't let me go to school and spread it around, so I had to miss the play. I cried and cried. I didn't even feel sick. Then we found out that a lot of the other kids had it too and had gone ahead with their parts in the play. I still feel cheated.

I had the measles when I was maybe 6 or 7. I can't remember much except mom always had the curtains closed because the light hurt my eyes and I remember her bringing in food to me. I must have been in bed for several days.

I was supposed to play the teacher in a third grade history play, and I came down with the measles--three-day kind, not the bad stuff. But my parents conscientiously wouldn't let me go to school and spread it around, so I had to miss the play. I cried and cried. I didn't even feel sick. Then we found out that a lot of the other kids had it too and had gone ahead with their parts in the play. I still feel cheated.

We bootlegged the script before it was released officially. I built set pieces that looked like giant children's building blocks, including Snoopy's dog house large enough to lay atop.
We practiced the songs with bootleg arrangements. Our student pianist also employed a toy piano that gave the score the perfect timbre.
I was then honored to play the role of Snoopy.

Come to think of it, it was after that that we needed glasses.

I'm going to disagree with this statement about the Bismark.
Bismark was commissioned in August, 1940. USS North Carolina, first of her class, was commissioned a couple of months earlier. She had comparable armor to Bismark on the belt and turrets. But she also mounted more (9 vs
and bigger (16" vs 15") main guns than the "Pride of the Kriegsmarine".
There were probably other issues, as well, that we're not aware of, as the Nazi Kriegsmarine hadn't had much practice building battleships since the restoration of the navy. Meanwhile, the North Carolina was the further evolution of work that had been continuously going on in the US Navy, and an improvement on the first post-Treaty USN battleships, the Colorado-class.

I take a lot of vitamin supplements. I figure being a professional driver my diet is shit and the vitamins might be a good thing to take.
The problem is there's a bunch and going through each bottle is time consuming and the gelcaps tend to melt together when I leave them in the truck after I get home.
So I'm like, geez, I wish there was an easier way to do this. And then it dawned on me. My heart sank.
So now I got me one of those seven day pill containers like all the old fogies use.

I had to have my wedding band cut off to be re-sized -- big knuckles, I guess... That was the only time that it's been off my finger in 30 years! It didn't go on all the way when the lovely and long-suffering Mrs Z first tried to slip it on my finger during the ceremony... On our way to the reception, I licked my knuckle and rammed the ring home lacerating my finger quite badly! In some of the photos from the reception, I'm seen with my left hand wrapped in a bloody napkin...

It's not all doom-and-gloom as you get older. The only silver lining about coming down with Type-2 diabetes is that you may be prescribed Metfomin, which has as a side effect the production of extremely stinky intestinal gas, which can come in handy while shopping and the need to clean a lane out of a couple of talking gasbags who are blocking the lane with their shopping carts is required.
If you have no sense of shame, then the aisle will be yours to leisurely amble through for at least twenty minutes.

“…the imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man.”
“This is not a new idea; this is the idea of the age of reason. This is the philosophy that guided the men that made the democracy that we live under. The idea that no one really knew how to run a government led to the idea that we should arrange a system by which new ideas could be developed, tried out, and tossed out if necessary, with more new ideas brought in—a trial and error system.”

I sold Christmas trees in NYC to make money for school, and one day the firemen from the local fire house came by to get a tree. They drove up in the pumper and stuck around for awhile. They told me that they loved finding cars in front of hydrants, because they would either run the hoses through the windows or wrap chains around the car and pull it away from the curb with the truck.

That wasn't the only bit of amazing British luck in that battle.
A German submarine - U-556 - managed to sneak into the British formation. U-556's captain could see the swordfish lining up to take off for what was likely the fatal strike against Bismarck.
Fortunately, the submarine was returning to port after a patrol, and had no more torpedoes.
More to follow, maybe, but the annoying spam filter keeps blocking me from posting. I'll try and post the rest of it in a separate post if the filter lets me.

More on U-556 and Bismarck -
What makes the story stranger was that Bismarck's captain had done a favor for U-556 (he'd provided Bismarck's band for the submarine's commissioning), and the captain of the submarine had drawn up a certificate, announcing that the submarine would come to Bismarck's aid if such aid were ever needed.
And when Bismarck desperately needed help, the submarine just happened to be in place. Unfortunately for Bismarck, she had no way of actually affecting the battle.

The history of polio is very interesting. While the disease has been around as long as humans, epidemic outbreaks of it were unknown before the 20th century. It was basically an endemic disease that affected the population.
Ironically, the reason it became such a scourge was because of improving sanitation. Polio virus is spread by the oral-fecal route, contamination of the input by the output. Severity of polio infection increases with age.
Before the 20th century, most children would be infected by polio very early, with only a relative few progressing to the full paralytic disease. They would then gain natural immunity, and so most the population was naturally immune.
With improving sanitation practices, that delayed infection, and created the conditions for the epidemics of the 20th century.

First, from a comment I made 2 weeks or so ago, for those who were curious: see "Let's Go Brandon Cafe" thread; Inman video: "There are two reasons Why ..."
Note how the guy who takes the hit from the helmet falls.
He's out, and, as he falls, his legs are slightly bent, and his feet are about shoulder-width apart. No sign of his ankles crossing.
We don't see him down, but the signs are there. The point being that, when you see someone down and implicitly hurt/out, crossed ankles strongly suggest a staged event.

there are three centers of lactose tolerance, one from the Caucuses, one from Arabia and one from Northern Africa, all three have different mutations. It is such a wildly successful mutation that lactose intolerance is considered odd outside of Asia
(My wife and her friends are Asian, so it has become a thing for me)
However adaption to diets is a thing, and to claim that there is no adaption to a farmed food diet is not an accurate statement. Humans are quite adaptive and the standard Asian diet focused on rice, soy and fish is not optimal for me, where my Wife thrives on it.

I was just looking it up. In young children, the chances of a polio infection becoming paralytic is 1/1000. In adults, it is up to 1/75. By 1950, the peak age of infection had gone up to 5 - 9 years of age, depending on location, and one third of cases were delayed until the teenage years. 1952 was the worst year for polio in the US.
I can remember my mother talking about the fear of polio. It would hit during the summer, and parents were scared to death of outbreaks.

I was in process of getting immunized against as many diseases as possible, as there was a measles outbreak (MN, IRRC), California was starting to see a return of Third World diseases, and I saw the immunizations as a way around ObamaCare. My physician was slightly hesitant to write prescriptions, but he did anyway. I was aware of the religious hard-liners in Afghanistan opposing polio vaccinations, and even assaulting the vaccination crews, and my physician said that polio was (still) endemic to Central Asia and Afghanistan.
Now that we have (or will have very soon) 95,000 Afghans, completely unvetted/unexamined, admitted to this country, I predict a case or two of polio, in the areas they settle.
I went to high school with a survivor of polio. He was 1 step above an iron lung survivor. His muscles existed, he could write and eat, but were otherwise useless. Yeah, it was tragic.
If you've been considering vaccinations, NOW is an excellent time to get you and your family vaccinated. The run on Toilet Paper was amusing. If there is a run on vaccinations, it will be a nightmare.

FDR is one of the famous paralytic polio people. However, it may not have really been polio.
A 2003 analysis of the record concluded it was more likely his paralysis was due to Guillaine-Barre than polio. The evidence is not conclusive, just suggestive. Odds are greater it was G-B than polio.

It was destroyed by "plunging fire", a 15 inch shell from the Bismarck struck the Hood between the stacks at a steep angle, and hit a 300 ton magazine (300 tons of powder and shells).
The ship blew in half immediately.
There were 3 survivors from the crew of + 1,400. I watched a TV show some years ago, and one old guy was one of the survivors. He was an enlisted rate, and was at a man-door to the deck when the ship was hit. An officer said, "you first" and he stepped through and lived. The officer right behind him never made it out and died.
Decades later, and he was still choked up about the loss of his ship and all his mates.

Polio is still in the wild, in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But...
There are more cases of polio in Africa, Indonesia, and China than the wild stuff causes per year. Because they used an attenuated live virus, and it mutated back to virulent and capable of being spread. That vaccine is no longer used. They have a couple of others.

There are two type of polio vaccine. The IPV (injectable, Salk) which uses an inactivated (killed) virus, and the OPV (oral, Sabin) which uses a live attenuated virus. Now, remember the business about sterilizing vs. non-sterilizing vaccines. The IPV is actually non-sterilizing, while the OPV is fully sterilizing.
The IPV will prevent the virus from getting into the bloodstream and causing paralytic polio (if the virus gets into the nervous system). It will still allow infection and transmission in the gut. The OPV will stop infection dead in the gut.
With the OPV, there is a tiny chance that it will become un-attenuated and lead to paralytic polio. The IPV will stop that.
We used both in the US after all that was figured out. We stopped using the OPV in the US in 2000. There is no wild polio to worry about, and the IPV alone is fine. No tiny chance of vaccine-caused polio there.

There are actually two types of vaccine caused polio with the OPV. The first, which is very rare, is the attenuated virus becomes unattenuated in the vaccinee and leads to paralytic polio. That is very rare.
However, something else can happen. A person who gets the OPV will shed the attenuated, live virus, and some recombination events can occur that can produce a fully active polio virus. This doesn't effect the original vaccinee, but can lead to infection of others, not vaccinated.
When polio is endemic, the WHO protocols are to used both the IPV and OPV. The latter gives sterilizing immunity, and the former kills any chance of paralytic polio developing.
When you get the wild polio virus eliminated, you can go to the IPV alone, which is what we did.
At this point, as someone above mentioned, there are more cases of polio disease to the vaccine effects, the recombination thing being the most common, than regular wild polio.

Bingo. Miley is on a laptop and in my "bathtub" as Miley calls it, with a desktop. We are all sharing the same public IPv4 address through the NATing router. To Pixy, it looks like it's all coming from the same IPv4 address.
Now, if Pixy would get with the program and go IPv6, NAT is not necessary, and we'd all be coming in from unique addresses.

Right, but I mentioned Afghanistan and Pakistan, where the original wild strain is still endemic -- Because the imams forbade the vaccines period and even caused the deaths of a few health care workers trying to distribute them. As long as Islam is around, so is polio. Hmmm, I wonder if a few of the 100k 'refugees' might be bearers to the US?

Avalon Hill did a pretty good game on the subject.
Kid theater memories - well, I can't claim this as a memory as it was told to me - when I was in kindergarten, we were doing the Christmas show. Every kid had a line they were supposed to say. When it came down to the day, none of the kids could remember their lines but me, and I had memorized everybodys lines - so I was told just to say all of the kindergarten classes lines.

It was only "obstruction" in the way libs think of obstruction (Demolish, not English). Trump discussed his reserve of powers as Supreme Executive, which was as threatening to the lefts exercise of power as they cared him ever getting. Trump's power was 100% legitimate, especially reserved as it was.

There have been a couple of incidents of vaccine-associated polio in the US since 2000. One happened in Minnesota:
https://watermark.silverchair.com/199-3-391.pdf
An unvaccinated Amish infant was infected with polio (and this infant had a lot of other health problems). It was identified as one of those vaccine-derived types associated with the OPV. They were unable to figure out the original source of that, but this strain was circulating in the local population.
They conclude the most likely source was some immunocompromised individual who picked it up from parts unknown outside the US.

Well, it's two small porcelain blocks, with springy contacts riveted to them. Basically two slightly different devices in series. They are like normally-closed switches, and show zero ohms when working. There appear to be bimetals or thermally-expanding slugs between the contacts and the base plate which mounts on the exterior of the firebox. And two spade connectors, each with a red wire going to the gas valve. I assume this device is interposed between the thermocouple and the electric valve, as there is no AC power going to the heater at all. One side had visibly sprung open, and I was able to reset it.

I'm not afraid of it all. You get a prefix block from the ISP (of a requested size) and you local devices generate their own IPv6 addresses. The address space is so large compared to IP4 (128 bits vs 32), that random port scanning is impractical).
What each device does is generate random addresses, which change from time to time, so no permanent public IPv6 address is used.
For example, at this moment, from ipconfig, Windoze is currently using 7 temporary public IPv6 addresses and another 7 temporary ULA "local addresses". IP6 is complicated, but the ULAs come in handy when connected different networks with VPNs, which I'm doing. Those addresses are used for that traffic.

With IPv6, it's no problem, and is indeed a feature for each node to have multiple addresses. The main network interface on this machine (it has a total of three) has 18 total IPv6 addresses, plus the link-local address.
9 of those are globally routable, and the other 9 are locally routable.

My dad was crew on a 63-foot rescue boat being towed to Okinawa by an LST through a typhoon. The tow line parted three times through the 72-hour storm. I don't even want to imagine that.

TY, TY Buck T, for that bit about unmodified food. As a former farmer, who in 32 yrs saw our average corn yield go from ca 125 to almost 200 bu per acre, I've always thought these non-GMO folks are simply idiots. WTF do they think we've been doing to plant genetics since genetics were discovered? Huh?

But a Fast Attack boat effected a rescue of sailboaters wrecked upon the High Seas by a hurricane. 1960s, it was. They saved one of the sailboaters. And the damage to the sub was such that it was sent to the recyclers at Hanover.

It's not a tool of Satan any more than IP4 is, IMO. Some people think NAT gives them some security that IPv6 with each node publicly routable doesn't have.
It doesn't. It means less work for the router. My router, a Linkys WRT 32x running OpenWRT is running a stateful IPv6 firewall. It doesn't allow any incoming connections to pass through. It only allows outgoing traffic. It just doesn't have to do the NAT processing (well, it does when passing IP4 traffic). The IPv6 nodes are no more open than the IP4 nodes.
And you've got the rotating random temporary addresses. When something wants to make a connection on his machine, say the browser, the IPv6 stack picks one of those 7 temporary public addresses to use. Goes through the router's stateful firewall, which lets replies back in. Then, after a certain time, that temporary address expires, and a new one is generated. The pool of temporary addresses constantly changes over time.

IPv6 was awesome once I found out what it could do. I had two servers that couldn't connect to each other, configured for the same subnet, but repeatedly not able to ping one from the other. 6 is still ugly, but after not believing that typing one v6 address into the browser of another as a consultant stepped me through it, within minutes I had two servers who could talk.

It would be nice if all IP addresses were dynamic... (Does anyone even have dynamic IP addresses any more these days?) That might be inconvenient at this joint, for example, where one's Thought Criminal ID is often part of xis cred here!

The temporary IPv6 address scheme I was talking about is dynamic. And with those 64-bits of lower space for the random choice, the odds of the same machine using the same temporary address again are slim to none.

We're in the same situation in NJ. Incumbent Murphy (D) is not all that popular, even among Dems. The (R) challenger, Jack Ciattarelli, is running a surprisingly strong campaign. Unlike the Senate campaign last year, where Spartacus ran effectively unopposed (though I voted for the R, I can't remember his name, and he ran no campaign commercials), Ciattarelli is trying to win. He's all over the airwaves and social media. If he loses, it's not from a lack of effort.
Biden and Harris are supposed to be making campaign stops in North Jersey in the next week or so for Murphy. I haven't seen any polling, but turnip brain Joe is not loved here, and the Hoe is even less popular. Maybe I'm being silly and naive, but I think Ciattarelli and Youngkin could pull this off.

Suxxor. The thing is, if you ain't using some "outlaw" offshore email source like Isle Of Man, that doesn't fall under EU/US cooperation agreement, let's just say 'pressure can be applied'.
requests for ISP addresses to log on via protonmail went from 17 in 2017 to nearly 4k in 2021.
Protonmail changed their privacy claims recently to deny they protect and don't log your sign on ISPs; due to Swiss law. Just be aware, that's all.

I got out of Philly just in time, and while I did go to Jersey of all places, my life is so much better.

I played piano and at the time Cast Your Fate to the Wind was popular. There was a very complicated section in it that took me months to get down perfect.
The night of the show things were going well no stage fright when just as I started into the complicated part, I froze and could not remember the notes. Not at all. I paused and then went into the melody completing my solo but passing right by the part I worked so hard to master.
No. Not funny just a little irony.

1.) Bismarck was far from the most powerful warship on the planet at the time. In point of fact, it wasn't even a very good battleship. 8 15 inch guns was run of the mill at the time. The secondary battery was awful. It was inefficient, with an outdated design that every ship maker had abandoned before ht end of the First World War.
2.) Hood was hardly the Royal Navy's most powerful ship. In fact, at the time of her sinking, she was a quarter century old, and in bad need of a refit. The King George the V battleships were the most heavily armored battleships ever built. As I recall, at this time, the RN had three of them (they ended up having 5 within a short period of this event). Hood was also armored in such a way that she was impervious to Bismarck's shells, with one achilles heel that Bismarck managed to exploit by sheer dumb luck (I can expound if you'd like but in the interest of brevity, won't).
