Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (9/28/22)
Quote I I want to add one more warning, and that is to the oil and gas companies. Do not, let me repeat, do not use this as an excuse to raise gasoline prices or gouge the American people. Joe Biden
Quote II “We were the reason that Fox News was created,” Chelsea Clinton
Quote III “Whoa, whoa, whoa. Give me a break. That is nonsense. Stop politicizing, okay? Stop it. We declared a state of emergency when this thing wasn’t even formed.” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis
You Florida Morons be careful. You have my thoughts and prayers at this time.
The ONT told you so.
Man’s Attempt to Tow with His Electric Truck Is ‘Total Disaster’: ‘What a Joke!’
Automotive YouTuber Tyler “Hoovie” Hoover bought a brand new 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck and was stunned when it failed to perform a simple task. In a Friday episode of “Hoovie’s Garage,” Hoover decided to use his Lightning for one of its intended purposes: Towing. Hoover’s goal was to drive the truck 32 miles with only an empty trailer in tow, load up his recently purchased 1930 Ford Model A pickup truck and then tow it back the same 32 miles. It did not go well.
Some deep thoughts from our friend and fellow Moron Hrothgar............
I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me privileged, a racist, and responsible for slavery. I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today's standards, makes me a fascist because I plan, budget, and support myself. I went to Grammar School and have always held a job. But I now find out that I am not here because I earned it, but because I was "advantaged". I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks, now makes me a homophobe. I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel. I am older than 29*, making me a useless eater who doesn't understand Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Snapchat.
I think, and I reason, and I doubt most of what the ‘mainstream’ media tells me, which makes me a Right-wing conspiracy nut.
I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive culture, making me a xenophobe.
I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair reward according to each individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist. I believe our system guarantees freedom of effort - not freedom of outcome or subsidies which must make me a borderline sociopath. I believe in the defense and protection of my nation for and by all citizens, now making me a militant. I am proud of our flag, what it stands for, and the many who died to let it fly, so I stand during our National Anthem - so I must be a racist. Please help me come to terms with the new me because I'm just not sure who I am anymore! Funny - it all took place over the last 7 or 8 years! If all this nonsense wasn't enough to deal with, now I don't even know which toilet to use... and these days I gotta go more frequently!
Twitter does it again. Libs of Tik Tok suspended.
According to a recent Department of Justice Inspector General investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms failed to follow proper security protocols for seized firearms and parts at the ATF National Destruction Branch (NDB) facility in Martinsburg, West Virginia, leading to thousands of guns and parts being stolen by a security guard. "We found that NDB staff does not consistently adhere to established operating procedures in place to mitigate risk of firearms being lost or stolen. Specifically, we observed NDB staff: (1) propping open doors into secure areas of the facility solely for the sake of convenience, (2) allowing visitors to enter the facility through doorways other than," the investigation found. "The main entrance and drive their cars into the facility to unload firearms, and (3) permitting unauthorized individuals to access NDB vault storage spaces. Failure to strictly adhere to established operating procedures not only undermines the NDB’s security protocol, but unnecessarily places firearms in NDB custody at risk of loss or theft."

Everyone Should Sit Down When They Pee
Having a seat is cleaner, quieter, and more relaxing. People with penises: If you’ve spent your life standing when you pee, it’s time to rethink your urinary posture. Standing is (probably) the Western world’s most common micturition position among those with penises, but it’s far from universal. Men in some cultures traditionally sit or squat when they pee, and even among cultural pee-standers, there’s evidence that the paradigm is shifting. In Japan, for instance, an August 2020 poll showed that 70 percent of men sat, compared to 51 percent five years previously. Beyond the cultural conditioning that insists there is (or should be) a gender difference in urination style, there aren’t many good reasons for standing up, and there are a ton of them for sitting.
Useless Meetings Waste Time and $100 Million a Year for Big Companies
Employees say they don’t need to be in nearly one-third of the meetings they attend, a new survey shows, and women are more reluctant than men to decline invitations Unnecessary meetings are a $100 million mistake at big companies, according to a new survey that shows workers probably don’t need to be in nearly a third of the appointments they attend.

I really enjoy Westerns. And I really can't argue with the Greatest 35. But "The Searchers" is better than "Johnny Guitar".
Though it’s easy to conjure up tired tales of gunfighters standing in the street waiting to draw when you think of Westerns, the genre is actually home to a surprising range of diversity. It’s been part of cinema since the very earliest days of Hollywood, and has produced some of the greatest films ever made that go far beyond such masterpieces as The Searchers or The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. To dive into the entire genre is to find a wide array of subgenres, thematic concerns, performances, filmmaking styles, and even conclusions about the American West itself. In other words, there’s at least one great Western for everybody. To prove it, we’ve compiled a list of 35 of the best films the genre ever produced, spanning more than 80 years of movies.
Dear Mountain Guide: You have one job.

While ascending India Venster late on Tuesday afternoon, the 29-year-old hiker and her guide encountered difficulties.

Special Needs Player Makes Final Tackle In Texas High School Football Game
September 27, 2022 It was a special moment under the Friday night lights for two Texas high schools. The Lubbock High Westerners and the Andrews Mustangs ended the football game with a moment both teams will never forget, allowing a senior with special needs to get the final tackle. However, the play never would have happened if it wasn't initiated by the opposing coach.

Wifey and I proposed to build two classrooms for a school in her Filipino village. I gave the presentation on a chalkboard outlining dimensions, materials, labor and the sum, which we would shoulder personally. There was an agreement and praised to God for this project. Then the meeting was tabled for....another meeting. I shook my head 'yes' and said 'no!'. Lol ensues. I pointed with a closed hand (rude to point with a fi ger) to the man who would buy lumber, the dude to buy rebar and concrete, the guy to buy screen and aggregate, and the woman to shop for victuals. The project started the next day! I was hailed as 'The Man of Action' from then on. Otherwise, the meetings would have continued until the project fizzled out. Strike while the iron is hot.

I used to have a drunk at one bar I worked at that would always start trouble when he was in. We threw him out several times.
Eventually, we barred him from coming in permanently. Caught him one night standing behind a wall unit we built did the big screen television eating chicken wings he had someone buy for him on a night a band was playing there when he snuck in.
I always wondered what the fuck was wrong with the guy that made him want to come hang out and spend money at a place where he wasn't wanted.

Last year I was in Monument Valley riding a horse, overwhelmed by the beauty and solemnity. In my group was a French family. The kids were allegedly experienced riders and for some stupid French reason, they loved to gallop fast ahead of everyone else. The guide did not like this. They did this several times anyway, and the last time they did it, it spooked my horse, which went into full rodeo bronc mode and launched me to what seemed to be the height of the nearest mitten.
French mom scolded her kids, did not apologize to me. They said they would not do it again. I said like Ethan - That'll be the day....

"Sitting voids the bladder more fully, which can result in fewer complications such as cystitis and bladder stones. ........
.....The research doesn’t address the optimum pee-position for healthy men, but there are tons of non-medical advantages to choosing the stall over the urinal."
So the article claims sitting voids the bladder more fully, yet then claims the study did not look at that for healthy men. Contadiction? I know that personally peeing sitting down always leaves a bit behind and I'll have to visit again sooner.

I was standing at a bar in Aberdeen Scotland. They don't do bar stools there. It was crowded. I heard a female voice behind me say, "Can I buy you a drink?". I turned to find an angel standing there. She was tall, platinum blond, with ice blue eyes, fine features and built like, well, you know. A Nordic goddess.
I gave her a quizzical look, pointed to myself and said, "Me?" She gave me a disdainful glance and a dismissive, "No". Turns out I was standing next to Thor.
Since then I am very cautious when apparently being singled out for attention in a crowd.

To destroy a sub sea pipeline requires more than a ROV/drone delivered shaped charge.
Javier Blas @JavierBlas - 15:18 UTC · Sep 27, 2022
How strong is a Nord Stream pipe? Quite!
The steel pipe itself has a wall of 4.1 centimeters (1.6 inches), and it's coated with another 6-11 cm of steel-reinforced concrete. Each section of the pipe weighs 11 tonnes, which goes to 24-25 tonnes after the concrete is applied.

But anyone with a rowboat and a homemade depth charge could have done it, right? SMDH.

When is it appropriate to request a correction of the 'approved' Minutes of a Board meeting?
Particulars - At my HOA's August meeting I made a request that the 2023 draft budget be compared to the 2022 approved budget and line item differences be explained at the September Budget Review meeting for homeowners. (they had not ever previously compared anything, always just stand alone financials with no context)
My request was recorded in the August Minutes and approved in September as a "request to compare the 2023 draft budget to 2022 actuals".
When I pointed this out to the General Manager, the reply I got was, "The minutes have already been approved as presented and what was documented in the Minutes is not contradictory to what was discussed."
Are approved Minutes so sacrosanct that they cannot be edited to make a minor yet informative correction?

"Not that deep" is kind of a dodge. Yeah it's only 150-300 feet...in the middle of the cold-ass Baltic Sea, in the fucking dark, with significant currents, carrying a big enough shaped charge to cut through concrete and steel, with the knowledge on how to attach it, time it, and coordinate the explosions to within a couple minutes. Not to mention the infil and exfil ops.

If the minutes have already been formally approved, it may be difficult to have a "re-do" to amend. However, you can ask that an addendum be added which reflects your discussion more accurately.

Let's not forget Billy Clinton, who advanced China's satellite tech by twenty years when he let them launch our spy satellite instead of using NASA.
(It 'blew up' on the launch pad)
Then all of the sudden the Chi-Comms had spy sats in orbit.

TCN. The Buc-ee's in Texas City, TX features a 52,000 sq.ft. store, in which the Ladies Room alone is a reported 60 individual stalls. There are 240 fuel pumps out front. The front and two sides of the store are surrounded by Ice Machines, and yes, the jerky counter in the store is about 20 ft. long. And there is a pastry counter, a BBQ counter, a deli, a fudge counter, a yuge covfefe bar, about 250 ft. of coolers along the walls featuring all manner of liquid coldness. Outdoor cooking tools galore, more spices and rubs than you might imagine, and the selection of apparel is vast. Even the "souveniers" are not the usual cheap Chynah crap with different place names painted on, but instead, quality and useable home and kitchen decor.
And, Buc-ee's is *not* a truck stop. The only 18 wheelers allowed on site are the fuel deliveries. The wine moms and soccer moms want it that way. Texas City Buc-ee's is a Medium sized store in the chani.

If you watch any Jimmy Stewart Western, pay attention to the horse he rides as it's always the same horse; there is a white blaze on its upper forehead. That horse was named Pie and that was Jimmy Stewart's personal horse he rode in every Western. It wasn't his horse, but he would visit it often at the ranch where it was stabled. Some of the tricks Stewart and Pie did for directors were a direct result of Stewart and Pie being such good and close co-workers. I saw Stewart relate this story to Johnny Carson on 'The Tonight Show'.

This is true. Russia knows whether they did it (and I'm pretty sure that means they know they didn't do it). Aside from maybe China (and that's stretching a stretch), all the other candidates are NATO members or proxies, so it's unlikely to matter a whole lot to Russia which specific one of them did it, beyond picking a target for retaliation, should they feel the need.

The Internet, and the websites on it, were designed to be viewed by people using personal computers. Smartphone manufacturers added Internet connectivity to their offerings, but the screens are still vastly too small to properly render a web page, so kludges are required.
I used a Blackberry for a few months. I could view the HQ, and even post to the threads, but it was clumsy.

According to proponents the "Flesh" taken from the forearm contains a lot of nerves. They also can embed the clitoris (not to put too fine a point on it) in the base of the attachment to enhance pleasure. Some work required on the urethra to accomplish that. These are just a few of the options offered to the female to male trans. Oh heck, just look it up.

The attack was done by a submarine and demolition divers. I was reading, shaped charge is what you'd use to sever that concrete encased pipeline.
I don't know if the Chicoms have subs capable of sneaking up there and doing that undetected. Russians do. We do.
I can see no reason for Putin to blow up his own pipeline. It was his source of leverage. All he has to do is what he did, close the valve on his end.

Repair is going to be a bitch because the operating pressure under flow is enormous and sealing that in-situ robotically is an enormous task and they are going to have to develop the tech pretty much from scratch.
Bringing it up to the surface to repair will probably induce a lot more damage and they have to have doth ends raised at the same time. When it's constructed, there is only one end exposed and the weight and stress are much more manageable.
I think they will probably splice a new section in place. Again, something that hasn't been done before.

pawn, fixing the pipes "under flow" - you mean gas flowing? But that's a simple matter of shutting down the line (already done I assume) - so there won't be any "flow". Or do I misunderstand you?
Seems to me that doing this on site underwater would actually not be that big a deal, considering the sorts of things that have been done under worse conditions (Akashi Kaikyo bridge near Kobe, heck even the foundations of the piers of the Golden Gate).
How would it be much different than building the pipeline in the first place, in terms of basic construction activity?

Drinking a cane sugar Dr Pepper as I type this. All other Dr Pepper formulations are garbage. Before Dr Pepper yanked their contract with Dublin, we'd go down there for the annual DP birthday bash. Last one I went to Billy Joe Shaver was onstage in the back yard, it was about as perfect of a day as you could get. Now they celebrate in Waco, home of Mr Shaver, I am sad that he can no longer perform since he is buried in the ground there.

Yes. They are allowed to produce the original recipe Dr. Pepper, but they can't call it that. I don't remember the name they use. We will probably stop by Dublin on the way out or back. I really enjoyed visiting there after the 2020 MoMe. We walked around town and I showed Mr. Bassman all the stuff I remembered from living there when I was a kid.

It might be possible to cut the damaged pipe back into undamaged territory, and then weld multi-bolt flanges to each cut end. The welds could be made both inside and outside between the pipe and the flange. Then custom-build a flanged repair section of exactly the right length, lower it into place, and bolt it up. I don't know if it would offer any advantage, though.

Likely correct. And vs. "undersea welding", I'd construct a cofferdam of sufficient height, & "footprint", as well as the sidewall strength to hold back the sea at 275 ft. And then let the welders do the work in the open air. Skeletal elevator to lower 'em down n' bring 'em back up. Said cofferdam could be towed out laying horizontal on a barge, tilted off and upright in the sea, then slowly flood some ballast tanks to take 'er to the bottom.
Whoever blasted the pipes though is playing Russian Roulette with Russia. Since when has that ever been a good idea? Makes as much sense as trying to drink a Russian under the table in a vodka contest?

Getting the length right is going to be tricky unless they use a circular loop or a staggered offset like a heat expansion loop.
And then there is the cut, prep and alignment for the butt weld. Need to hold both ends off of the ocean floor and compensate for sagging.
Some type of clamp could be used but that is going to be a real challenge in both design and execution. The operating pressure is something like 1500 psi.

The last time I saw Dr. John was at Jazz Alley (Seattle) in 2011. Time was noticeably beginning to take its toll on his body leaving him to walk slowly with a cane and his voice occasionally struggling to hit a note. What time could not touch was his profound musicality, the sense of time, phrasing, dynamics, and how to perfectly utter a lyric. Hearing "Things Happen That Way" brought all the back but now with his voice showing that time was most certainly near. But once again nothing not even time could touch a lifetime of musical perfection.
Ruby Bishop was a local musician who was still playing at this time once a week in a gay bar of all places. Ruby, you see, was in her early 90s and within the limits of her frailty would knock out perfect renditions of every standard ever written with that same perfection, both in voice and on the solo piano, I heard in Dr. John. I would go see her often and I always came away with a deeper understanding of our American music from one who helped create it. She eventually retired at 95 and soon after passed on.
Such things sustain me now.

So question of "who coulda dunnit?" doesn't describe as small a universe as many people seem to think. Tapping Soviet undersea military comms cables in the Far East back in the day was a spectacular thing - blowing up a pipeline on the sea floor in comparatively benign conditions at comparatively shallow depth, not necessarily.
And a routine survey of Nord1 back in 2015 undercovered what was reported to be an armed (explosives) UUV, out of commission, along the route. Swedish navy recovered it. So some skullduggery was afoot in this area, related to this pipeline, long before the current unpleasantness.

I saw some extended footage of laying the NS pipeline. It was done on a special ship, huge thing. The sections of pipe were welded together on that ship and then laid down in the water.
It's the same thing as much smaller scale laying pipe for a water line, such as I did. Lay out the PVC pipe sections next to the trench, glue them together, and lay it down in the trench as you go.

What makes no sense is destroying your real energy resource production capacity and power generating capacity because of an outlandish hypothesis about human impact on climate.
Have no idea how much burning of money/comparative impoverishment/opportunity costs would be involved to avoid dependence on Russian gas (an "externality"), but I'd guess that gas is likely to remain the best (=cheapest) source for many purposes for years to come.

I have seen video feeds from Ft. Myers. The storm surge was bad, but the visible tree and building damage due to wind was WAY LESS than would be expected from Cat 3 even.
Did the alarmists hype this storm for their narrative? (I think NOAA has been goosing their numbers.)

That's exactly how they did when they laid the nat gas lines out here well over a decade ago. This would some sort of yellow plastic pipe, large diameter. And they put it deep, 8' I think (I know rock outcropping close to the surface were a real bitch for them).
I watched them do it right in front of the house. The machine was on trailer, pulled by a truck. Jig that clamps the pipe ends in place, then squared, heated and melt welded. Went very fast, once the trench was ready.

In both the cases of China and India, there's always the question of who's going to pay for it. In India's case, forget it. Lots of gas that's closer, if they could afford it, which they can't. In China's case, China can afford it, but the gas comes from Siberia east of the Urals. They're competing with the Stans, which are sitting on girormous gas reserves, and China likes to keep their supplier base geopolitically diverse.
Gas west of the Urals that feeds into Europe is just in a different supply/demand framework. Here the big future supplier is Iran, if they could ever get their act together. They could feed into the Russian system.

At the infrastructure level, yes, things are designed to be repaired.
At the personal level, not in my memory. Cheap automobiles aren't worth the repair cost anymore. And with the newfangled all-electric ones, expensive ones aren't worth repairing if the problem is the battery.
I am looking at you Apple. They sort of pioneered the whole idea in tech products. And just like that everybody copied them.
Posted by: Lost In Space
It was pioneered long before that, though Apple is working on perfecting it. Strangely, though, they're one of the few that will attempt repairs on tiny electronic things. Not many TV or appliance repair businesses anymore; a fridge or 65" TV is recyclable trash if it breaks. Parts and labor will exceed the cost of replacement tout suite.

Reading the comments on Eugyppius' Substack on this NS, someone from the industry commented on repairing the NS. He said it would take about a year, and maybe '800 million", whether that was dollars or euros, I don't know.
He said the way this would be done was to fit some saddle isolation valves on either side of the break. Then either replace the damaged section or repair it, depending on conditions.
And then the fun part begins. You've got a shit ton of corrosive seawater and abrasive sand inside the pipe. That has to be cleaned out, and then the whole thing tested, possibly finding more damage, etc.

Back when I was stomping around the area Turkmenistan was king of gas, or gas potential. Have the other 'stans also found deposits?
There was a hilarious story about Rafsanjani (then Iranian president) visiting Turkmenistan. Can't recall if it was public then, or ever. Involved a white horse, and a panicked Iranian security detail. When VP Gore visited a similar situation arose, though unfortunately there was no risk of physical harm involved. But the cable traffic on how to fly out the horse was funny.

The upper A-arm pivot shafts were not reversed. The excess negative camber was entirely due to the camber adjusting eccentrics being set that way. I glommed my magnetic caster-camber gauge onto the brake rotors, and got one side set to 0.5 degrees positive, and the other to 1 degree. That reduced the excess toe-in by a lot, and I tweaked it to about 1/8" of toe-in. Took it for a spin on the gravel road, and it is much, much better. Hold the wheel steady, and it tracks straight. Steering wheel is a tetch off-center, now, but that merely requires lengthening one tie road a little, and shortening the other by an equal amount. And the fully-latched doors no longer rattle.

More than three-quarters of the killings took place in Latin America . . .
The victims died fighting resource exploitation and in land disputes. Conflicts over mining were tied to 27 deaths worldwide, the most for any sector.

Coles notes version. I visit my friend Jake. he is sobbing uncontrollably. What's the matter, Jake? "Did you watch the 6:00 news? A plane full of lawyers crashed into the sea, and all aboard were killed." But, Jake, I know you hate lawyers. "There was one empty seat."

That and proposing to shut down peoples' way of life.
For example:
In the western Mexico state of Jalisco, José Santos Isaac Chávez was killed in April 2021. He was running for local office and had made opposition to a long-running mine a central part of his campaign. Days before the election, he was found dead in his car, which had been driven off a cliff and his body showed evidence of torture. Armed men had dragged him out of his home and driven him away in his own vehicle.

Do you have a MeTV station? Right now, Mannix is just winding up, and he's doing some bitch slapping. Then will come Cannon, and you can see bitch belly bump some dude. Then Barnaby Jones.
Antenna TV, Cozi, and FeTV will run some of the classics as well. You can see actually funny guys like Jack Benny and George Burns.

Mannix got hit over the head at least once every episode -- suffered no ill effects for 8 years. And he'd get shot every so often as well. He'd just walk it off.

There was an episode of "Diagnosis: Murder" on a while back, which I stumbled on. You know, Penis Van Lesbian was a murder-solving doctor, and his son was an LAPD detective.
Well, one episode there brought back Mannix with a new wrinkle on an old case. I loved it for the nostalgia. Mike Connors still had fabulous hair. It was older, he was grayer, but he was still Mannix.
Anyway, the setup was Penis was Mannix's doctor, and Mannix gets shot 'cause of some old case getting stirred back up again. The original cast of the old Mannix episode all came back (but no Peggy).
Funny scene was Penis, Jr, the detective was being lectured by his boss, an LAPD captain. He said, " Joe Mannix is a legend here, I know, but the days of the LAPD being Mannix's personal errand boys are over."
He replies, "But Mannix was shot!". Captain says, "That happens all the time!"

We should've had a '90s Mannix. We had a '90s Columbo, after the original '70s run.
I wonder if they ever thought of it. Mike Connors still had it then, and a '90s Mannix, done right, would've been good stuff. An older, greyer Mannix.
The hair was still fabulous.

William Conrad had the voice for Matt Dillon, which was great for radio. But he didn't have the body, which was very bad for TV.
Cannon kicked ass though, but not Matt Dillon material.

He was a little before my time, my first exposure to him was with First Alert commercials, couldn't understand why this guy was on television selling smoke alarms. That didn't seem very glamorous. I could tell he had some sort of storied past. Ultimately found to really enjoy him in his older tough guy movies.

I had a very weird experience years ago. I was in a bar, 1500 miles from home. This chick starts talking to me, and I didn't know her, I'm 1500 miles from home. At some point during the conversation she says she's a medium, or some shit like that. She starts telling me about shit, she knew way too many things about me. She asked about a relative who died, then makes a motion with her hand, like up and down between her boobs, and says something wrong here, and mentioned the first initial. She was talking about my cousin, who died from esophagus cancer. This went on and on. Continued...

Sorry, I thought "Penis Van Lesbian" would be well know. Mary Tyler Moore actually first made that joke on a an old Letterman show one time. She said that was Dick's real name, but they had to change it.
Diagnosis: Murder is not all that great, but if there's nothing else on, well it beats any of the modern crap. Murder She Wrote is usually on as well, and that beats Diagnosis.

I've posted the numbers here before, but short version. You need a 50A, 240V circuit to handle any kind of close to fast charging from a residential service. We're talking about 10 hours with a load of about 1.5 electric clothes dryers running.
The residential distribution networks can't handle that much extra load. Imagine all the houses in an area running one or two extra dryers all night long.
It ain't gonna happen. Even if there were enough generation and tranmission capacity (which there isn't), the local distribution networks couldn't handle it.

Wouldn't surprise me at this point. I had 5 hammered disks in my neck. I had 2 really bad episodes. The first one took 3 years to heal, and the second one happened a few months before my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. I was in bad shape. The morning after she died I pretty much woke up with a new body, all traces of the neck injuries vanished, like it never happened, ever. That one pushed me from agnostic to holy shit.
