And In The End, The ONT You Take Is Equal To The ONT You Make
Friday night! Everyone here is a little under the weather, so we're going to settle in with a nice hot mug o' memes.

Forbes has decided in their reporting to imply that FTX and its oily duo at the top were "Alt-Right affiliated pirates" which is funny given it is obvious from their adjectives and descriptors the piece was originally hagiographic in intent.

I saw earlier today that Ellison was being called an "Alt-Right darling," but I thought they were being sarcastic and saying that it was like AOC; we were making fun of her to cover up for our secretly wanting to date her.

Let me guess before reading it.
Because he said they lived in a world where you get rich by spouting "woke shibboleths".
He used the word "woke", therefore he's "alt-right".
Am I right? Despite that he was second only to Soros in supporting Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans. He said one of the Codewords?

Sort of, it is valuable to have a cognitive metaphor when trying to use weaponized empathy to understand the left's motives.
They understand PRIMALLY this is a dangerous story for them, so I want you to imagine a jenga set but the game is played in reverse.
The first piece they grab is one mocking "Is Caroline fuckable?" rant from a d list "alt-right" blogger to build on.

A few years back and after a nasty winter, the city of Bellevue WA (across the lake from Seattle and run be republicans) decided to invest in a few new snow plows. Rather then buy new, they were able to acquire some good (and more) used plows. Great move.
Across the lake Seattle did the same but only new plows for them. Can't have used shit. So they got a couple new plows.
Come the next bad winter, Bellevue was happily going along clearing roads, while Seattle was mired down. So Seattle, being typical libs, demanded that Bellevue give them their trucks because they were Seattle!
And if memory serves, Bellevue leased them some.

Most have never seen, so don't know: also the probable true origin of "keep fucking that chicken". I saw, years ago on a sick, gory shock site called Something Awful, way before the newscaster open mic (that most people assume *is* the origin) -- before the internet even had video and barely had audio beyond beeping music on Geocities embeds...
On this site, a scan of a black and white newspaper clipping, photo of a man crushed under a rock overhang, with the article below explaining that he had been fucking a chicken when the boulder cracked and crushed them both.
The open mic newscaster was more than likely aware of this story.
"And now you know... ...the rest of the story!"

It's OK but the season is already over! They QWERTYd it up and there's plenty of GRRrrl power. There is much more meanwhile, back at the ranch stuff. There is a parallel story about trying to find Al's (from TOS) daughter who has persuaded Ben to violate protocol and leap before he looked. Although he can't remember why, he has apparently planned to leap in a particular order to arrive at a particular time and place for some unknown reason.

I cannot roll out pie dough and get it into the pan whole, to save my life. But someone gave me a recipe that included an egg and vinegar that was the best tasting pie crust I'd ever had.
I've given up on making my own pie and buy Thanksgiving pies from a specialty store. They've gone up to $15 or $17. Those are the ones that are closest to homemade. Other stores have them cheaper.

Opened it up, couldn't get the hose to thread onto it. Decide the hose was crap, drove to Home Depot to get a new one. Bought a commercial hose, got home, still wouldn't thread.
Back to Home Depot to return it and get a garden hose. Looked at the hose and realized I should be attaching a male end, not a female.
Called my wife, asked her to look at the power washer. I've been trying all morning to attach to the wrong side.
So that was 3 hours of time I could have been cleaning wasted. Because I am an idiot.

The Pillsbury pre-made pie crusts aren't that bad. No rolling, throw it in the pie pan, drop in filling. They usually come two to a box so you can have a top crust if you want one. And only enough preservatives to keep your body from decaying for a couple of months.

I don't think "barndominiums" lose (or gain) resale value vs more conventional homes; it still depends on the market, the floor plan, bed / bath counts etc. If anything I'd be more concerned about having the living area entirely on an upper level if you really decide to put it above the garage.

The trick I learned for getting the pie crust into the pan - after rolling it out to the proper size, fold it in half, and then in half again. Set it in the pie tin with the folded corner at the center, and then unfold it. Works like a charm.

The doomsayers act like Twitter needs employees to literally generate the electricity, or put out literal fires all day, or to cool the servers with hand-pumped bellows 24/7.
I'm going to laugh -- more so than already -- when Twitter still works just fine with 1/4 the "workers".
Like they need 7,000 people, constantly coding, or it will melt down like Chernobyl. Come on, man!

Saw lots of old regulars who slapped me on the back, "good to see you", etc.
Wasn't feeling particularly social, so I mostly smiled and listened to conversations.
Old regular asks "You feeling alright? You don't have much to say tonight."
I said "I mostly lurk here now." Got a confused look.

Had a coworker who commuted on his motorcycle lane splitting on 101 (its legal here)
One day he comes in opens his backpack and pulls out his old shredded backpack and his sacrificial HP laptop.
He gotten clobbered by a lane changer and went sliding down the road on his backpack but the laptop saved his ass.
Went out bought a used Prius the next day.

Causal loop. Opposite of the grandfather paradox. You go back in time, and save your grandfather from being killed.
Causal loops are not contradictory, but if you can have them, you can have the contradictory ones. No way around it. Acausal spacetimes are problematic.

See the Chronology Protection Conjecture.
General Relativity allows time-travel solutions. In fact it was Kurt Godel who discovered the first one. He told Einstein that his theory allowed for time travel, Einstein said bullshit, and Godel said, "I'll prove it!"

I think not, in that God created time (specifically a sense of time for man), and is thus outside it, and being omniscient and omnipotent would likely put a stop to any actions that would cause the paradoxes we worry about.
The interesting question, I think also turns out not to be, ie. can you then go to both heaven and hell? But the elect are chosen by God, who, again, being omniscient and omnipotent, isn't going to be altered by whatever a time traveller does.
Also, I think you run into issues with "...it is appointed to man once to die and then the judgment." So you can't die in different timelines.

1. Just outside Marion, NC, is another motorcycle highway, “The Devil’s Whip”. From where you get on highway 80 in Marion it is IIRC 2000ft up to the Continental Divide, in about a 20 minute drive. One of the worlds premier fun roads. The only catch is that after you crest and go down past Mt. Mitchell Golf Course, there is a turn with a 25mph sign, which the motorcyclists ignore. It is the only turn on any road that I take at less than the posted speed because it is a complete horseshoe which almost meets itself coming back around. Plus it has an open cave with water in it. The riders meet it too fast, lay over to try and make it which puts their heads in the oncoming lane. I almost hit one last summer.

That's assuming Calvinistic predestination, which I have serious doubts about.

And what happens on Judgment Day, in that case? I have no idea.

Well, I've unfortunately hit that point, too, where a visit to an old bar I worked at is filled with "so and so had a stroke" and "so and so passed away".
It can be real heavy, at times.
In some ways, for a lot of people the local bar is their version of what church should be. A tight-knit community of people sharing burdens.
I miss a lot of them and I pray that they didn't die alone or have family looking after them. For some people it is their only community of people that will remember them when they are gone.
It's a lonely world to have so many people in it.

He did (or more specifically his driver did), but that was after the first attempt had failed, and nearly everyone else had either been nabbed or fled the scene. From what we know, there was no one else by then.
I mentioned an alternate history without WWI in a previous Book Thread; the author pointed out that what makes the assassination so noteworthy is that it was a 1-in-100 or lower chance of happening the way it did. You would hardly dare write it that way in a novel.

Then I'd spin off to invest in major textbook publishers, seeing to it that such as Zinn and his ilk, never EVER see their works in published ink. And Rush Limbaugh would've been Cronkite's immediate successor, with full editorial control. (I can spin these ideas for hours, they're fun!)

Karl Denninger wrote about this sort of thing a year or two ago, and pointed out that anyone who's curious about this sort of thing could just sort the trading records to observe the effect of a time traveller trading on his historical knowledge (which apparently he spent a little bit of time on just for amusement's sake).
He concluded that the absence of such evidence either means that time travel isn't possible, or is relatively expensive compared to what we give value to today to the point that it's not worth the effort.
Which could also reflect on the value of today's things rather than the difficulty of time travel itself.

He wrote it down.

A good film on alcoholism is Sideways. Read the Ebert review on that one. I know he was a degenerate Leftist, but Ebert could go to a new level when writing about movies. Other than Sudeways, his reviews of The Good, The Bad, And the Ugly, as well as Pulp Fiction set the standard for that art.

One of the difficulties in these discussions is that people freely use the word "dimension" to mean both a separate plane of existence (parallel dimension) and another orthogonal axis (so time can be thought of as a fourth dimension, if all you care about is assigning coordinates to things, but it tends to get very confusing if you want to verbally describe movement), and a lot of people, and therefore discussions, don't recognize that.

It was really the aftermath of WWI that led to the horror of WWII. The victors imposed an untenable circumstance, and, before even that, the German emperor unleashed communism on the world. There is nothing yet close to WWI that is responsible for what happened afterwards. Maybe Hitler unleashing the Frankfurt School on the United States runs close, but it hasn't reached quite the same damage. Yet.

In 2006, I had to give a block of instruction to Iraqi mechanics on how fix the various systems in a T-72 tank.
I had to download all kinds of tech manuals and crawl around inside the turret of one to familiarize myself enough to teach Iraqis.

I was a USAF cop during the Carter Years. Nearly 100% of my enlistment was on Lackland AFB, TX. 2nd largest Defense Language Institute plant, other than Monterey, CA.
Short version. Worst were Iranian & Kuwaiti students. Like a.moron said, entitled and arrogant beyond measure. Mostly, Iraqis were cool, as some were assigned by tribe, but most by Baathist loyalties. Less entitlement, more motivated.
Turks were damn near problem free. They loved food, drink and women. But if they got out of line, their NCOs would beat them to a bloody pulp. They got back in line and stayed in line. Insight. North Koreans were scared SHITLESS of Turkish troops in that conflict. North Vietnamese were scared shitless of Turks AND South Korean troops, in the Vietnam war times. Pro-tip. Have Turk troops as your friends, but never BE a Turk troop, yourself.

That makes sense, now. We'd busted and turned over to Iraqi staff, a proven rapist, who they sent back to Iraq.
USAFOSI briefed us back about four months later. That 2nd Lt. had been beheaded in the town square in Tikrit. Common agreement, is that they hadn't whacked him for the rape, but for the shame brought to the State. And IIRC, that's even well before Saddam had attained the Head of State, but he was a bigwig then, all the same.

It is well known that all Marines are rifleman first. Sure the Marine Band is an exception. But for the most part, all Marines learn. To shoot for real.
I was in the Army National Guard, 11 B, Infantry. We spent time with our weapons all the time. We spent so much time with them they were part of us.
I realize the Marines and the Army Infantry are not the majority of the service. But I am sure more trigger time for the Navy, Air Force, and most of the Army would not be time wasted.

Martial Spirit needs be inculcated into EVERY branch of Service, on a continual basis. .Mil ain't IBM middle management. They're WARRIORS, first, and this must be drilled into their very DNA. Just ask the USAF Clerk Typists who manned the M-16s behind the sandbags at DaNang, and the countless USAF logistics drivers who earned MORE medals for valor in GWII than you might imagine.
Yes, Sailors, too. Drill. Drill. Drill like you intend to fight, Drill like you want to fight, Drill like you LOVE to fight. Martial Spirit in EVERY branch. Do it!

Mark Andrew Edwards: Yes
Best answer.
A wise parent knows what the child may choose, but knowing that does not impinge on the child's liberty to choose. And that's just plain ol' human parents. How much more would the Omniscient Creator anticipate the choices relatively free-will children would make.
Choices lead us one way or another. The better choices lead to increased blessings of freedom of will. The worse choices restrict us.

The Enlightened Warrior must first, be forged into the Warrior.
Enlightenment and Wisdom, well those tend to filter up as they rise through the ranks and become NCOs, Warrants or even Officers.
But you don't ask an E-1 or E-2 Private to suss out the wisdom of his enemy. You charge him with the duty to subdue his enemy, be it surrender or death. You don't like this?
Ask Sherman his thoughts on the nature of war. He nailed it in one, and his thoughts yet offend the masses.

I served with and knew plenty of your ilk, (+crypto) what with enlistment testing scores maxing out the grid (as did mine) being begged into or opting of your own volition out to Monterey or such in your classified pursuits. You really expect hundreds of thousands of Privates or Airmen or Sailors to know the language of their enemies? You're fucking delusional.

Generally true, but reality is a bit more nuanced. I was a mustang, so I've lived both sides of that coin. Officers can be very good, and they can be very bad (interestingly, in my experience ring-knockers were overrepresented at both ends of that bell curve). Same is true of enlisted.
I was frequently both amused and annoyed after getting my bars by the antics of enlisted members who were unaware that I was former enlisted and knew exactly what kind of crap they were trying to pull.

How does that work?"
That is the original argument against standing troops. Because they will eventually be deployed against the general populace.

I have a different concept of today verses tomorrow, and it usually results in weird conversations with the wife. As an example, she'll walk into the room here at 2am-
her- what are your plans for today?
me- Today? I did all that I'm going to do
her- so you're not doing anything today?
me- I did a shit load
her- I mean when you wake up
me- oh you mean tomorrow
her- its tomorrow now
me- No, I didn't go to bed yet, it's tomorrow when I wake up
her- well what time are you going to bed?
me- it don't matter. tomorrow starts when I wake up.
her- rolls eyes and walks out of the room.

No one is more professional than I.
I am a Non-Commissioned Officer, a leader of Soldiers. As a Non-Commissioned Officer, I realize that I am a member of a time honored corps, which is known as “The Backbone of the Army.”
I am proud of the Corps of Non-Commissioned Officers, and will at all times conduct myself so as to bring credit upon the Corps, the military service, and my country; regardless of the situation in which I find myself.
I will not use my grade or position to attain pleasure, profit, or personal safety.

Many of the actual serving Officers might be OK. (might. be.)
The Zampolits though. Don't even take the time to put them up against the wall.

My two basic responsibilities will always be uppermost in my mind – accomplishment of my mission and the welfare of my Soldiers. I will strive to remain technically and tactically proficient.
I am aware of my role as a Non-Commissioned Officer; I will fulfill my responsibilities inherent in that role.
All Soldiers are entitled to outstanding leadership; I will provide that leadership.
I know my Soldiers, and I will always place their needs above my own. I will communicate consistently with my Soldiers, and never leave them uninformed. I will be fair and impartial when recommending both rewards and punishment.
Posted by: SMH at what's coming at November 19, 2022 02:59 AM (sH61M)
I will not forget, nor will I allow my comrades to forget that we are professionals, Non-Commissioned officers, leaders.

A healthy military depends on a good working relationship between the two, especially between the senior NCOs and the mid-level officers.

Agreed. FULLY.
But I'll add also. Both must remain aware of and seek to advance, the more suited Jr. Enlisted who might arrive into their ranks.
NCOs and even Mustangs arise from such, and it is on the Officers and NCOs to sight those talents, and advance them as needed or when possible to do so.
Secret sauce. Higher ranks who advance their subordinates to become their equals? Senior Officers notice this, and tend to advance the NCOs who advance their enlisteds. (someone needs to tell this wee tip to the jr. ncos out there, btw)

I wasn't being flippant in one regard . I have multiple young men, most I've known since they were young, who are active military . I still respect our military. The minute their boots are standing on our soil ready to take up arms against their fellow citizens, they become the enemy .

As Gen. Suvorov said (quoting Napoleon, I think), “It’s a poor soldier who doesn’t want to be a general.”

I have been lucky to have experienced the officer world vs the enlisted world first hand. My father was an officer, and I was enlisted. I knew a man who was enlisted min Korea, and an officer in Vietnam. Great man there no doubt,
But that guy was not unusual back in the day, these guys were heroes but that is just what they did. The funny part is he went from a ground troop in Vietnam, to a Marine Aviator.
I also know a Marine we loved who was a Gunny during that time. He was so famous and loved, Gunny became almost his first name. He ended up a Captain, and possibly. More, but to us and his friends, he was always. Gunny.

I was in a Peacetime Military, which is the worst time of all to have served.
Downsizing, rank compression, fear of expulsion and compliance to policy, you name it, it sucked.
Still, a bold Officer or NCO could make a Squadron or change a command. Leadership exists even in the lower ranks, in SPITE of it being stymied, above.
I've seen a Brigadier stricken out of the Service, by the bold action of an E-3 USAF cop, who made the detention, wrote the report and STOOD. HIS. GROUND. Know your Rocks and Shoales, or other Service equivalents.

I'm pretty much with him, tomorrow is when I wake up, although I could go with the next sunrise as tomorrow.

Older cousins husband was a Marine Sgt. He was amongst the first deployed to the Nam in 65. He became a DI after he came back . My cousins kids, when they were older, would occasionally answer their dad, "yes sir, gunny". It was always a lotto . He was an awesome guy

You can certainly blame the Romans for the day starting at midnight. That's what they used. But it likely goes back to the ancient Egyptians.
It was "obvious" that Noon was the middle of the day (although noon, non, used to mean "9th hour" or 3 pm, but got changed to midday, meridian crossing of Sol later), and it was the same day before and after high noon, so the day had to start at the opposite side, midnight.
The Egyptians used sundial devices in the day, but had devices they came up with to mark time at night, using the positions of well-known stars.

I have mentioned this before but that is ok. I don’t compare this to anything else as the people I was talking about before are legit war heroes.
But I did see a legit unusual situation. There was this out of control. Drill Sargent during basic training. This guy was a legit monster called Mad Dog.
I went back to the same unit a year later, and the guy
Was a Captain and a chaplain. You talk about a change.
