THEY SHOULD TALK TO EACH OTHER!

In a world that has 24/7/365 connectivity. In a world in which nobody is more than five seconds away from contact with almost literally half the world. In a world in which toasters are connected to the internet.

Clocks don't synchronize?

What the f*ck?

This shall not stand!

I bought a cheap watch from the crazy man
Floating down Canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says "Now"

Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And if I have trouble the warranty said
"Breathe in, breathe out, move on."

30 On this matter, I'm in CDB's camp. I hate the fact that from room to room in this house I gain or lose up to 5 minutes. And most of those clocks are not self setting, so I manually go around with my phone and set each one to the correct time. Then, over a period of time they all drift.

They're mostly Chinese pieces of shit, so this fits.

I had to drive Her Majesty to an appointment last week and on the way it began to rain heavily. This brings out at least two species of idiot.

Disarray about how to report what happened. Back when I was in AF, we did practice recovery missions and it can be harder to find wrecks than you would think in heavily wooded and hilly areas.

Doubt it is a thing that Iran nor Azerbaijan practice much either so you probably have different people from different services on different frequencies talking past each other and relating garbled reports back to HQ.

One trick is to lean your left leg into the door panel so that you can feel road vibrations. Changes in those can indicate changes in the pavement condition faster than you can realize via other means such as steering wheel, brakes etc.

198 Willowed from last thread, but $50K/year Powerhouse HBCU Morehouse:

"Morehouse College typically accepts and attracts "B+" average high school students with an average GPA around 3.48. Most incoming freshmen graduate in the top half of their high school class."

https://tinyurl.com/2ysaug7s

Wow, they're in the top half of their class.

Think about how lousy public schools are now, and how hardly anyone is failed, and how black kids especially are "discouraged" from failing. And this elite HBCU gets mostly B-level students.

I don't think a 3.48 is good enough to keep merit based scholarships at a lot of run of the mill state schools.

Imagine how bad the classes have to be to make sure B+ level public high school kids - I assume many from terrible inner city schools - can pass the college courses.

Around 2005 I wanted get my business license to qualify for a Broward County Business License. I had previously passed my test to qualify for a Certificate on Competency way back in 1982 but had changed from exterior remodeling to acrylic bath systems as my desired discipline.
I enrolled in one of those construction colleges class that was held in North FL up in the Panhandle. My sister lived in Tallahassee with her family so I made a nice weekend out of it since the all day class was held on Sat Morning at 8 am.
I enrolled then made the drive a day early for my class. During check in at the motel the night before I requested a 6 am wake up call. It all went well seemingly until after I awoke and got to my car the clock read 8 am.
I was about thirty seconds from storming the reception desk in a tizzy when I realized the night before I drove into a different time zone and my car clock had not reflected it....Whew I dodged a very embarrasing situation ...

235 Einstein heard the toll one evening in May 1905. He had been confounded by a scientific paradox for a decade, and when he gazed up at the tower he suddenly imagined an unimaginable scene. What, he wondered, would happen if a streetcar raced away from the tower at the speed of light?

If he was sitting in the streetcar, he realised, his watch would still be ticking. But looking back at the tower, the clock – and time – would seem to have stopped. It was a break-through moment. Six weeks later, he finished a paper outlining a “special theory of relativity”. Later he would show how space-time, as he called it, affected mass, energy and gravity, foreshadowing the nuclear age, space travel, and our understanding of how stars and celestial bodies interact.

2 second penalty. I miscalculated. It was .6 sec if I had not hit the cone. It would have put me at second fastest of the day. As it was I was 3rd with a time from another clean run.

275 Oldie but goodie.
Airline pilot is taxiing, and is out of visual range from the control tower, but he needs to do a time hack, so he calls the tower on the radio requesting the time. The tower calls back, asking "Sir, what kind of pilot are you?" The pilot, irate, calls back "What do you mean what kind of pilot I am? The time is the time! What time is it???"
The tower replies: "Sorry sir, we need to know in order to give you the correct answer. What you are determines what we say. For instance:
If you are a commercial airline pilot, it is 3:00 pm.
If you are an Air Force pilot, it is 1500 hours.
If you are a Navy pilot, it is Six Bells.
If you are an Army pilot, The Big Hand Points At The 12 And The Little Hand Points At The 3.
And if you are a Marine pilot, it's Thursday afternoon.

My kitchen clock is an ancient "Delft-style" china plate clock (anyone remember those?) that originally had an 8-day wind-up movement. I replaced the movement with a battery clock, and have used it that way for years.

My bedroom alarm clock is an old Ingraham with an AC clock motor, and its alarm is a loud raucous buzzer, which I can actually hear, as opposed to the faint "meep-meep" of digital alarms.

I never even bother setting the digital clock on my microwave.

Basically they treat all business relations, no matter how sensitive, as obtainable by the Feds. If someone else can buy the data, then the Feds can too with no subpoena or even NSL needed.

Alito in a 4th Amendment case dealing with planting trackers on a vehicle, suggested moving from the reasonable expectation of privacy model to that of a mosaic model. In other words, if the Feds are specifically targeting one or a small number of individuals, then they should be required to get a warrant. The idea is that the specificity of the search aimed at particular individuals essentially shreds a person's 4th Amendment privacy and the third party billing doctrine developed in a pen registry case in the 70's, has been expanded well beyond any control by the judiciary of abuses by po po.

One other judge expressed interest in the idea but the Deep State hates with a thousand suns having to be accountable to the peons below them.

409 396 7 I use my cell phone when setting clocks. They drift from each other anyway, and I don't give. I know with clocks are the closest, and use them accordingly. Precision vs Accuracy...

I recently got rid of the coal oil powered alarm clock I had. You had to start it 90 minutes before alarm time so it could build energy in the flywheel.

411 New Lithium source found from wastewater from Pennsylvania fracking.


"Decarbonatization initiatives have rapidly increased the demand for lithium. This study uses public waste compliance reports and Monte Carlo approaches to estimate total lithium mass yields from produced water (PW) sourced from the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania (PA)."
Annual estimates suggest statewide lithium mass yields of approximately 1160 (95% CI 1140–1180) metric tons (mt) per year. "

Hard to do that nowadays with the meager Royal Navy and a few scattered flagged merchant and passenger ships.

We are scarcely in better shape and likely to get our ass kicked if in a naval war with some country like China over Taiwan.

415 Most electronic clocks run off a vibrating quartz crystal - the vibration is induced by an electric field, the piezo-electric effect. If the electric field changes then the oscillating frequency changes. 'How cheap is your electronics' determines how well it keeps time. (I hope I got that right, it's been a long time).

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon wX5h4 day.

Yep. Graduation held at the university. Couple blocks away from me. Streets closed. One caught. One on the loose. Debating whether to cook out now.

Has to do with resonant modes of the crystal. Fundamental mode is the easiest to maintain and for time, what is used.

423 >>New Lithium source found from wastewater from Pennsylvania fracking.

The viability of this source depends on the M/E Balance which I suspect doesn't pencil out as cost effective as one might think...

You have inputs that, aside from source handling costs, require heating I would suspect, in order to achieve a shift to gas from water, probably without Oxygen, and then separation operations (electrical) for some unknown mass of the element Li that must be purified...I suspect little mass extraction from a very expensive process...

Didn't bother at all when the hung out at the gay clubs that everyone knew were gay clubs and did not go to unless you wanted to go to gay club... now the replusive excess exposure everywhere even when they aren't there can make one want to shove them back into the sewer if you ever run into one outside the gay club.

Just saying.

433 The Iranian helicopter crash comes at a time when the country, faced by unprecedented external challenges, was already bracing itself for a change in regime with the expected demise in the next few years of its 85-year-old supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
...
Older Iranians revile Raisi for his role as deputy prosecutor in Tehran in 1988 when, at the age of 28, he played a prominent role in a movement that killed as many as 30,000 political prisoners, mostly members of the People’s Mujahedin Organisation in Iran (MEK).
