On this day: 8 May 1965 Born on this day: 8 May 1943 I received the following from Isophorone Blog, a regular contributor to my email In-Box with good stuff. Tonight is no different. "May 8 is the anniversary of the birth of Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829 - 1869), one of the first American-born composers to achieve international fame. Here is a piece of his called "Columbia."

Stop the presses!
Biden lies again! He was in Wisconsin, heralding the construction of a new Microsoft data center, and the White House claimed: Microsoft President Brad Smith said the U.S. company planned to invest $3.3 billion by the end of 2026 and use artificial intelligence to boost manufacturing and help workers. The White House said that investment would result in 2,300 union construction jobs and around 2,000 permanent jobs over time. Bullshit. The number of construction jobs may be accurate, but a data center is a big building filled with electronics, state-of-the-art fire suppression, and a huge air conditioning system. It does operate 24x7, but you're still talking about a couple of hundred jobs at most. A number of places in the Northwest have subsidized data centers, only to find that they employ almost nobody. One rural county 90 minutes east of Portland provided considerable subsidies to get a Google data center, in the belief that "tech workers" would live in the county. Google then provided a free shuttle bus to the workers so they could live in Portland. Posted by: The ARC of History! at May 08, 2024 10:17 PM (uxCna) 73

Sorry, maam, but I'm in Arkansas right now and I'm not sure when I'm getting back. I'll call y'all to schedule an appointment when I get back home. Eh. It's probably nothin'.

Weird Al did a parody video called "Bob" where every line in the song was a palindrome. I knew, obviously, that it was a Dylan spoof, but I never knew about this video, which Weird Al parodied perfectly. Cool!

“What’s the efficacy of banning these magazine clips? I will tell you these are ammunition, they’re bullets, so the people who have those know they’re going to shoot them, so if you ban them in the future, the number of these ‘high capacity’ magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will have been shot and there won’t be any more available.”

The Mammoth DAC plant has a capacity to capture 36,000 metric tons of CO2 a year and will be fully complete by the end of 2024.
I wonder how many decades it takes to break even and begin capturing CO2. Also couldn't Bezos and/or Zuckerberg just not travel by yacht a couple of times a year and achieve the same or more? Posted by: Moron Robbie - Little girls dreamt of being moms, women told them not to follow their dreams at May 08, 2024 10:21 PM (lx2qr) "Based on the team's models and data, Katla is emitting somewhere between 12,000 and 24,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide each day, the researchers report online this week in Geophysical Research Letters. That's several times higher than previous estimates of emissions from all of Iceland's volcanoes combined—which may be vastly underestimated because only two of that nation's subglacial volcanoes have had their emissions measured in detail." So the DAC plant, when it reaches peak capacity, will, in a year, suck up about 1.5 to 3 days worth of Katla's CO2. And Katla is just one of the many CO2-emitting volcanoes in Iceland.

Watched the trailer for "Twisters" today.
https://youtu.be/Jm27YjLnPHc Timely. Exaggerated Hollywood effects, but, having just had several 'nader nights, it's not that exaggerated. Apparently, in the flick, they witness two big twisters combining into a monster one. The tornado that flattened Barnsdall, Ok., Monday night was described as a mile-and-a-half wide. On its way from there to Bartlesville, that storm collided with another storm which actually caused the tornado to power down significantly. Lucky B'ville. Not so lucky Barnsdall.

Posted by: Romeo13 Actually, it's the top 100 feet of the ocean, where phytoplankton perform photosynthesis and convert CO2 in the water to protein, sugar and oxygen. There was a hypothesis that dumping huge amounts of powdered iron into the ocean would so stimulate phytoplankton, that they could actually cool the planet! Somebody actually tried it, and...surprise! it didn't work. Of course, now, a lot of the "warmists" want to chop down the forests, and put the logs in the ocean, to plant new forests that grow faster and capture more CO2 than mature forests. It's all madness.

They are doing some carbon capture in Alberta and Saskatchewan. But they are catching the CO2 from power plant stack gases, where it is already quite concentrated, and then they liquefy it and pump it into deep oil-producing formations, where hydrostatic pressure is sufficient to keep it in a liquid state. It mixes with the oil as a miscible solvent and helps expedite oil recovery. So, some value is realized.

Posted by: AlaBAMA I can see Monte Sano and some of downtown from my porch, which is where I am drinking some single barrel Jack. It's darker than normal so maybe some power is out.

Kate says, "If I'm a wasp, then beware my sting!" Petruchio: "Your sting, Kate? Why, I'll draw it out then!" Kate: "If only the fool knew where to find it." Petruchio: Why, Kate! Who doth not know where a wasp bears its sting? In its tail!" Kate: "Nay, fool! In my tongue!" Petruchio feigns confusion. "My tongue in your tail? Nay, Kate! I am a gentlemen!"

Well, I went out to the customary shooting site in the desert, with 3 firearms. Managed to fire 6 whole rounds.
The little H&R top break revolver in .32 S&W short managed three rounds. All others FTF because light primer strikes. Put it back in the range bag. The Walther P38 with the Gaialoop red dot got two rounds. Round #1 was damned near on the money. Aimed at the right hand swinging paddle, and nailed the left one at about ten yards. Paddles about four inches apart. But the sight and its support makes the slide too heavy, and it would not cycle well enough to eject the spent cartridge, let alone load a fresh one. Worked the slide manually, fired another round, missed both spoons. Again, did not cycle. Will put that back into OEM trim with all the OEM parts. Don't want to mess with recoil springs. The new built AR9 has a failure to feed issue. Rounds stripped off the mag tip up way high, jam against the rear of the breech, and the lower edge of the breech makes a semi-circular dent in the brass. When I get that sorted out, it will get the red dot. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at May 08, 2024 11:23 PM (8zz6B) 247

The lowest relative barometric pressure observed at GSP was 28.73" on Mar. 13th, 1993. There was some sort of snow storm, 9.4" snow on that day, high 34F, low 24F. It dropped to 11F low a couple of days later. Highest was 30.93" recorded on Feb 13th, 1981. No weather going on that day, other than it was cold.

No horrible weather here in Babylon DC. Humid and upper 60s. My ancient condo, built during the Johnson Administration, sent out an email letting us know that the centralize HVAC system we use here has parts that need replaced. Except they don't make this HVAC system anymore, so no parts. They'll have to repair what they have. The company that made it still exists and they'll do it. Yay. I have a love/hate relationship with where I live. Reasonably priced, crime isn't terrible, not bad really. On the other hand, the AC won't be turned on till mid-June. First World Problems.

I see numbers dropping like this at sea, I'm furling in all sails, and deploying the Storm Drogue Chute Sea Anchor, right NOW.
Easier to do so when the not being pummeled on deck, by the storm. Qualifier. The main Drogue Line, has to be lengthened or shortened to match the set of the waves, and the midships line to the Drogue has to be "trimmed" to fix the storm angle of the hull, to bisect the waves at a 10 to 15 degree bows-on angle.

Posted by: weft cut-loop at May 08, 2024 11:22 When does this sunspot appear? Will it be on Stormy Daniels ass? Our society is so degraded, just look at AOS. Posted by: Farmer at May 09, 2024 03:00 AM (55Qr6) 423
Congrats to the GOPe for getting suckered once again. You helped the dems throw more US taxpayer dollars at their gargantuan Ukranian money laundering scheme in exchange for supporting Israel as well.
Surely the dems won't pull the football away at the last second this time, Charlie Brown! Don't mind that they're all waving little Ukranian flags and zero Israeli ones. That certainly isn't a portent of things to come. My own representative has been an embarrassment on that vote and about a dozen others as well this year. Hopefully the dems invest $30 million into trying to flip his seat, I wouldn't be too broken up seeing him go. Posted by: Sjg at May 09, 2024 03:02 AM (aqZN1) 424
Now, that was an impressive bit of long, drawn-out, rolling thunder. Kept going and hit resonances with the windows and house structure. Rattling and vibrating. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at May 09, 2024 03:13 AM (w6EFb) 425
I just got asked out to dinner. Like a date. This weekend.

Morning, fellow insomaniacals!
I made the mistake of looking at the current temp on the CBS outlet's website. Uh . . . I don't wanna think about it. And it's only early May. Anyway, I slept abou 6.5 hours and have to go work out. Whadda you got? Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at May 09, 2024 03:37 AM (omVj0) 428
Mornin' Wolfus!
Whadda we got? Hmm. 40F right now & looking at mid80s tomorrow. Ugh. It'll be 90, I just know it. We always skip that nice 70ish temp zone and go straight from 'cold' to 'hot' Posted by: JQ at May 09, 2024 03:39 AM (njWTi) 429
"It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival."
This is very important, especially to doomsday preppers. Don't forget why you are trying to survive. Posted by: Miley, okravangelist at May 09, 2024 03:41 AM (w6EFb) 430
Gettin' ready to go get my 6.5 hours, I do believe. My eyeballs feel like they're melting. Y'all hold it in the road!

Hi, Miley! Hope the storms are passing waaay around ya!

A March 1993 blizzard? I guess it missed Lousy-ana. I can't recall it, really. I know where I was living and working, Miss Linda was in her first year of law school and I was closing in on my own bachelor's in night school. But it apparently was not news here and I don't recall any snow.

We have a real bitchin' t-storm here. The thunder is rolling and echoing like crazy. Many unhappy cats.
Well, two unhappy cats seem like many. Posted by: Miley, okravangelist at May 09, 2024 03:45 AM (w6EFb) Posted by: JQ at May 09, 2024 03:47 AM (njWTi) 437
Speaking of cats... Got to let Cat out & hit the hay myself. Long day tomorrow...
G'night, horde. Prayers for safety, for alla youse. Posted by: JQ at May 09, 2024 03:48 AM (njWTi) 438
We do get snow here . . . about once every ten years, briefly, and it makes news. I can recall just about every instance in my lifetime. The biggest was 2-3 days before Christmas in '89. Snow fell starting on a weekday morning. It took me two hours to drive the 30 minutes home. And while it stopped falling after a few hours, the stuff *stayed on the ground* for three days because the temps never went above freezing. The people who never bothered to wrap their exposed water pipes after the last time got burst pipes again, and plumbers made a bundle.

On the other hand, firecrackers and bacon sizzling in the pan disturb Stirling, the big black cat, to the point that he hides under the bed on NYEve and July 4.

Morning, JQ! Yeah, I have to work out. I should go tomorrow too for four times this week, since I'm back on the trail after nearly two weeks with the strange cold that began super-mild, evolved into nightly coughing, and is at last gone.
The local weather mavens keep saying we're going to have a "cold" front tomorrow. Hahahahahah. "Cold" in this case means a high of 80-82 instead of 88. Ooooh, chilly. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at May 09, 2024 03:56 AM (omVj0) 441

Think I'll take an early morning stroll. The temp is mid 60s and its humid. Still, comfortable. I'll take an umbrella. Might rain, or not. The local wx is non-committal.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at May 09, 2024 03:44 AM (omVj0) That storm began life in the Gulf and it made for a cloudy, very windy, miserable day in San Antonio. That weekend it moved out of the Gulf and on up the East Coast, making for the infamous storm. Posted by: Catch Thirty-Thr33 at May 09, 2024 05:04 AM (Ds3Rc) 447
Thanks for the hat tip!
