Florida professor aiming to spend 100 days in undersea habitat
March 16 (UPI) -- A University of South Florida professor has spent the past 16 days in a structure located 22 feet under the sea -- and he is planning to remain until he hits a total of 100 days. Joe Dituri, an associate professor at the University of South Florida, is living in an underwater hotel dubbed the Jules Undersea Lodge, located 22 feet below the surface in a Key Largo lagoon.

On this day in music, March 18, 2017, rock and roll pioneer Chuck Berry died at the age of 90. Born Charles Edward Anderson Berry in St. Louis, MO, Berry forged a distinctive style that married rhythm and blues with country music. Between 1955 and 1964, he racked up 22 hits on the US R&B chart including the No.1s “Maybellene,” “School Day,” and “Sweet Little Sixteen.” Berry’s best-selling single was 1972’s “My Ding-A-Ling,” which topped both the Hot 100 and the UK singles chart. via thisdayinmusic.com
Born on this day:18 Mar 1941

Miss Linda and I just got back from the nearby Hooters restaurant. Aside from one or two blonde hostesses, I was kind of disappointed in the waitress eye candy. A couple of the girls weren't fat, exactly, but they sure could have used the old Abdominizer or a gym membership. Still, it's way better than the buffalo and hippos, male and female, who pretend to serve you at my local Applebees.
Food was good, though.

If he's a marine biologist or something, that makes perfect sense as he could be researching what it would take to create long-term underwater research stations, analogous to the International Space Station.
If he's a professor of Gender Studies, then maybe they should let him spend the next 100 years down there...for a different kind of research.

In my area, that would be more appropriate than they know.
The song is very well done. In my mind's eye, during the instrumental portions, I can see giraffes loping across the Serengeti, see those flat-topped trees with the sunset shining through them, a cheetah flashing across open ground after an antelope, etc.

Did you ever read the Ex-Heroes series by Peter Clines?
Zombies and Superheroes in a devastated LA.
The first couple books are pretty decent. The author understands Superman more than he does Batman (their analogues in his series, at least.) However, he understands Superman FAR better than any of the yahoos in charge of the comics movies today.
The later books kind of fall off though.

Archie Comics did a version of it with the Black Hood.
Superman is on one end of the scale, I think a fascinating character would be the badass normal who keeps Metropolis safe while Big Blue knocks the fuck out of the world ending threats.
At any rate the sliding scale is Villain, Anti-Villain, Sociopath, Anti-Hero, Hero......
Power levels range from mundane to demigod I would wager.

I think for an ironic twist I will have the sanest most human loving character be an AI robot.
"What seperates mankind is not their ability to engage in multiple calculations per nansecond but the ability to dedicate a lifetime to an avocation despite the probabilities," explained Doctor Bot. "I can tell you with 99.975% accuracy what the weather will be tomorrow-the parent will move heaven and Earth to stop the rain if it saves a child."
Anyway an idea I have been kicking around, superhero fiction has become an exercise in scream therapy validation of identity session, and the post-apocalyptic stuff revels in the loss more than the rebuilding and stabilization.
Both genres are meant to highlight the construction and deconstruction of society and its members.

Hang on, let me check the book, because I think you actually do need this much old bay. 😂 I lived in Maryland for a decent amount of time, my dad, sister and brother are still there. I am ruined for any crab cakes other than Maryland. Crab cakes do not have peppers in them, or onions. They have crab, crushed saltines, a little blend of mustard, mayo, Worcestershire sauce, and old bay. The end.

Quote:
"The reason for the collapse of World Trade Center 7 is no longer a mystery. World Trade Center 7 collapsed because of fires fueled by office furnishings. It did not collapse from explosives or fuel oil fires," said Shyam Sunder, lead investigator for the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
A team of 50 experts, including metallurgists, explosives experts and structural engineers, pinpointed the cause of the collapse as the failure of a single column. The column between floors 7 and 14 gave way when its supporting girders came loose after expanding from heat.
Sunder said the phenomenon had never been seen before in a high-rise building."
Office furnishings.

There were a lot of live action kids tv shows growing up. 'H R Puffinstuff', 'The Banana Splits', et.al. One show that tried to do something similar at a later date was 'Pee Wee Herman's Playhouse' (before the porn theater escapade).

Oh FFS. Just get a nice AK red or silver salmon filet, put on a little pepper and a bit of garlic, slice a lemon over the top and grill it until it flakes. Divine. You can do it under the broiler, but it isn't quite so sublime without the charcoal smoke.
DO NOT ATTEMPT to substitute mushy awful Atlantic salmon. That would be an abomination.
And shrimp are even easier. Melt some butter, add some lemon or lime juice and a mess of garlic, cook 'em pink and serve 'em up. Over spaghetti or on top of your perfect steak.

Cranks jump to conclusions and fail to do the hard work of testing to make sure reality matches the conclusions because in the end the crank loves his conclusion more than the provable truth.
Visionaries jump to conclusions and love to find out if the reality matches it because the visionary doesn't want to be right as much as being correct.
Midwits let other people do the hard thinking and accept those conclusions as gospel truth, defending them as if they were an integral element of personality.

I think the prevailing budding theory is that the US security state did not so much do 9/11 as allowed it to happen to get its way.
Some retards sincerely believe that there is a magical "nano thermite" that the seven battalions of dwarves were able to put into the WTC complex and Pentagon by the ton unnoticed.
People have an easier time in some cases pretending their own government is capable of such evil rather than a foreign actor because ostensibly they have some locus of control concerning their government whereas facing the facts that the lives we take for granted are actually fragile and our enemies get to move on the game board is beyond their control.
Industrial psychology has a version of this instinct in "tolerance for ambiguity theory."

"Fahr Kain't Melt Steel!"
//Moose CHANGE BABY
I explained at length I think the Yector or Retardo once upon a time that they were literally dumber than a bronze age smith.
Steel begins losing tensile strength at 600 degrees, also they ignore that the WTC construction relied on 36*16 inch support beams.
The WTC was probably the ultimate expression of the light support style high-rise and made of less load bearing support than the ESB.
It was a testament to the design and build qualitythat they stood as long as they did.
God bless and keep the victims.

Speaking of pizza, I got a free one this evening. Went to meet friends at a pub in downtown Mesa. They had food truck out front, selling pizzas. I ordered one. The guy from the pizza truck brings it inside to me, all apologetic, "It had a hole in the crust, and some of the cheese leaked out. I am making you a new one." I tried to refuse it, as the first one was perfectly fine. He wouldn't hear of it, so I came home with two uneaten slices in one box, and a complete uneaten pizza in the other.

"The debris from WTC 1 caused structural damage to the southwest region of WTC 7...but this structural damage did not initiate the collapse. The fires initiated by the debris, rather than the structural damage that resulted from the impacts, initiated the building's collapse after the fires grew and spread to the northeast region after several hours. The debris impact caused no damage to the spray-applied fire-resistive material that was applied to the steel columns, girders and beams except in the immediate vicinity of the severed columns... A separate analysis showed that even without the structural damage due to debris impact, WTC 7 would have collapsed in fires...

All that vinyl, wood, and MDF board burns real hot, once it gets going. Asbestos cladding does not absolutely block the heat from getting to the steel beams, just delays it. And the structural steel does not have to melt; if it gets red hot, it softens, and can no longer bear its rated load. Ever see a blacksmith make horseshoes?

To be fair, they haven't changed. Democrats were racist as hell when they perpetuated slavery in states they controlled, they were racist when they formed the KKK and passed Jim Crow laws in states they controlled, and when they sought to abort as many black babies as possible in founding Planned Parenthood in 1916.
And today Democrats are for segregated college campuses, aborting as many black babies as possible and keeping black folks on the Urban Plantation, uneducated and dependent on Democrats for food and shelter.

They need people to play the game. They don't care what side you choose, but it's "How about you and him fight?"
The very last thing they want is a reasonably well educated citizenry, intact families, able to think and have opinions of their own. When everyone is fighting amongst themselves, they cannot organize or present a voting bloc or anything else.
Propaganda. Repetition. There is no right and wrong, except what the
Americans have had hard core psy-ops ran against them since the 1950s, if you're wondering what all those "think tanks" and Institutes for Social Research and Tavistock and where all the missing black hole dollars went, now you know.
Remember when black folks raised the alarm about crack cocaine being run into LA by the gubbmint? They weren't lying. Now think about Fentanyl.
Demoralize the populace. They have all this shit down to a science. Many of the people being played have no clue, which is rather the point. Some kind of hypnosis too.

You can if you want, but I'm not gonna argue with Him.
Well, I might supplicate for a bit of extra Pepperoni, but only on His Indulgence. (+ $2.00 menu price for extra Pepperoni.)
Amen.

It was a giant frog cleric who did the channeling for this morning's Pathfinder and wiped out 4 wounded bandits. Pretty impressive for a Level 1 with 9 HP!

I'm a pizzaholic. We have some killer pizza out here, but there were some late nights I would have fought for a dominos.
Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at March 19, 2023 01:35 AM (VwHCD)
Upon many orders and careful consideration.
Little Ceasers has definitely surpassed Dominoes in terms of flavor, construction, consistency and flavor. ESPECIALLY flavor.
I remember mid 1970s Dominoes. DAMN, that was some GOOD pizza! How the HELL did they go so far off the rails?

Valu-Rite is low carb, right? Doc says I'm too sweet already and Mrs Hades tells me I gotta live forever.

Valu-Rite destroys carbs! Also destroys fuel filters, injectors, spark plugs, valves, etc.

Mrs. Sock might use two bad words a year . She only has one left for the remainder of 2023. Some times I don't understand women at all . I've been around this one for over 40 years and I definitely don't understand at the moment. Also smart enough not to ask .

San Diego, CA. Ashford St., just a skosh North of Kearny H.S. Same shopping center as Market Basket.
2 blocks North of Basque Ave., where we lived in my 8th n' 9th grade days. My walk to Jr. H.S. was epic, as we used a friend's Clairmont "false address" to get me to schools not already on the downhill trend of "diversity". Yeah, 1970s, and that was a THANG, even then. (but they called it "integration", you see)

Route it to Balboa & Clairmont Blvd., which is a block E. of the olde, long since razed, Mildred Hale Jr. H.S. (but you can find that school in wiki, no doubt?)
That was my walk and sometimes bicycle ride to Jr. H.S.
Same address to James Madison H.S., Doliva Dr., also Clairmont.

Apologize? Never in my life . As I have explained to her numerous times, God gave her two chromosomes with stable bases. I, however, was given one of the unstable ones which, in order to honor God I have embraced . If I really feel ornery I just tell her it's a guy thing and she wouldn't understand.

Undersea Warfare School, he taught up and coming bubbleheads the niceties of dodging Soviet threats.
It was his post-heart-attack & recovery billet, before they medically retired him after 24 years service. He passed in 2010, God Rest His Soul.
I'm glad he's not around to see the shit that is our D.C. now. It would've killed him.

Well played my friend... except for the unstable thing. I know it helps with making your home life easier? But how does honoring God make you less stable? It plays into her problems.

Heh. Neither of us take ourselves too seriously. After 40 plus years we still laugh hard together and often at each other. It's my way of saying I'm the guy you married and you can't blame that one on me. Her response to my unstable Y chromosome cracks is often "go rotate the tires on my car".

Just saw this yesterday. Brian May, Ph.D (astrophysics) and Queen guitar slinger, was just knighted by King Chuckles. He was previously a "CBE" (Commander, Order of the British Empire).
He is now a "Knight Bachelor", and thus now Dr. Sir Brian May, OBE.
In his honor, here's a recent performance of Fat Bottomed Girls (Adam Lambert it the singer now):

President Joe Biden’s self-delusion seems to be boundless. When he looks in the mirror, he apparently sees an upright Irish Catholic true to the historic values of his deeply rooted religious identity. He is, in fact, an appalling Catholic who publicly flouts the church’s most cherished teachings and is about as authentically Irish as a leprechaun hat in a St Patrick’s Day parade.
