Overnight Open Thread (8/11/2024) [J. Edgar Phallenburger IV]
Ace and his fascinations do not stop at Disney. He is totally mesmerized by royalty, King Harv.
Forbidden Coffee
The True Tale of King Harv's
Mars coffee plantation Part 1: The Beginning There are many things mankind is not meant to know about. One of these is the fact that Mars has been settled since 2002, specifically for the purposes of coffee cultivation. King Harv's Imperial Coffees Mars to be precise. It started long, long ago. I am the son of King Harv, well known coffee tycoon and millionaire philanthropist. I was just a recent Chemistry graduate and Software engineer who had been tinkering for years on the topic of space travel. Specifically with the use of the metal wires steaming out of the Army's Hellfire missiles being used not for destruction, but as a dynamic bridge to the planets. Now each missile has a wire capacity of about 2.5 miles. The closest Mars would appear would be 34.8 million miles. Hence with only 13.92 million Hellfire missiles, with the wires spliced together, they could make it to Mars. Now, removing the explosive shaped charge of each missile, and extending the wire length accordingly, I figured we could get by with only 9 million Hellfire's. The next step was where to acquire or manufacture them. Or something similar to them.

I had an internet friend die of cancer ('Pandora' internet name). Talked to her a lot. Long late night calls. Cancer.
She believed in prayer so I'd like to ask for prayers, not so much for her (although I think she'd appreciate it and find it funny that I'm asking), but for her husband whom she loved very much. She worried about him while she was dying. 'What's he gonna do?'
Thank you.
I'm still having a hard time processing this.

This is not the response of ordinary posters. This is the response of a centrally organized astroturfed operation, designed to appear to be “conservative” but in fact paid to launch online attacks for the Left against both Trump and Vance.
Oh and almost all of them used the very lame “Weird” attack, which I believe proves they are all taking orders from Kamala’s handlers, who still think it’s a good idea. (It isn’t)

Okay, I see what really happened. Poor ace (he doesn't capitalize his name while commenting, so I will follow his lead there) didn't go to Disneyland until at least three weeks after the release of the film, by which time, much like the career of Eldridge Carpenter, it had totally slipped from the nation's collective memory. The character had not been sold out, it was just no longer available.

Owning a depreciating asset, like a park model, and renting the site upon which it sits, is literally the worst of both worlds. There are parks in which you own the lot, and simply pay "condo fees" for the community amenities, whatever they may be.

Never do it. Never. There were no Port-A-Pottys and you just stood in a crowd for over an hour, bored to tears. You can't see the ball drop if you're too close to Times Square; we were down around 39th St.
It's one of the more sucky experiences of my life, and sucky experiences I've had a few.

No doubt. But if you are a renter in a regular house, or an apartment, you can say, "kiss my ass" and simply leave. Even better if you stop paying rent for a month or two. But if you are paying site rent for a mobile, they have you by the short and curlies.

Fun fact... in order to get a conventional mortgage on a "mobile home" (in order to refer it legally as "property") the ability to move it is removed.
That is, the hitch that brought the house in, or the pieces onto your plot/land/etc. is cut off.
So "moving" a mobile home once it's been set is more or less a non-starter.

They should add competitive line cutting. "Line cutting" is where one makes a straight pathway through dense forest by chopping out underbrush, saplings, etc. So that surveyors, geologists, geophysicists, and other bush users can get themselves, and their gear, and strung-out wires through the bush as easily as possible. It is HARD work, and accuracy is as important as speed.

Whwn i was a kid we had a game called rumble. You threw a nerf football up in a tree and whoever caught it had to run around and everyone else tried to tackle the guy with the ball. If you missed a tackle and fell to the ground you were out or if you got tackled. When you got tired of running the ball you could punt by throwing it back up in the tree. Now that's a sport.

Wire-guided might make sense for short-range missiles fired from stationary launchers. Any place else, prone to wasteful failure.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at August 11, 2024 10:23 PM (Jj3ts)
Yes, sort-of. Helicopters were very successfully armed with TOW and many foreign wire-guided anti-tank missiles. The helicopter had to hover in-sight of the target for a decent hit probability. So, pretty-much stationary. Making the helo vulnerable to AA fire. The US Army worked to minimize the exposure time of the Cobras and Apaches by using Kiowa spotting helicopters in teams with the attack helicopters. The Kiowas had a rotating optical sight mounted above the rotor so the helo itself could stay below a tree line or hill yet pinpoint targets for the attack helos to pop-up and fire at. The attack helos only had to expose themselves for the TOW missile flight time, not that plus target search time.
Tank vs anti-tank. A century-old battle continuing to play-out in Ukraine.

No, the sock-counting script goes by hashes. Unless it's changed recently; one of the CoBs said it was hash-based when this came up in the past.
I get different hashes on my cell phone, but a consistent one on my home computer (this "dog gravy" hash.) So only my homeworn sockpuppets count. I made the list near the bottom during the work-from-home Covidiocy, but maybe only once since then.
I think Miklos has two consistent hashes, and he makes the list twice sometimes. Someone is like that, my apologies if it's not Miklos.
And people have made the list under unrecognizable names, since if you use each name exactly once, the sock-counting script doesn't know which one is your normal AoS handle.

But she wasn't done yet she became Attorney General of the state of California in spite of never having passed the bar .
There she basically legalized shoplifting.
Moving on to the United States Senate, she perpetuated one of the the biggest hoaxes of all time. She and Senator Booker introduced an anti-lynching act (which is already illegal). In order to do so they needed an actual lynching so they called upon their good friend Jesse Smollett. The legislation passed (who would vote against an anti lynching act). She also cast the tiebreaking vote to tax tips, which she now flip-flops. You'd be hard pressed to find a sorrier political figure than her.

It was never intended to be a gd documentary, and it's not. A lot of people get hung up on that. It's a docuDRAMA.
It IS fairly faithful to Lawrence's own book "War in the Desert," which is part of his "Seven Pillars of Wisdom." The film's producer bought the screen rights. But the historicity of Lawrence's OWN book is a matter of great controversy.
All the controversies add to the film's fascination, imo.

That's my take as well, Bye-den shoved Cum-allah up the Dems/Obama's ass for forcing him out; they hadn't counted on shrewd political hack Joe Bye-den being around anymore. IIRC, it took Barry a few days before endorsing Cum-allah as she was not his choice.
It is so very Shakespearean. Lords and ladies jockeying for position.

It was never intended to be a gd documentary, and it's not. A lot of people get hung up on that. It's a docuDRAMA.
It IS fairly faithful to Lawrence's own book "War in the Desert," which is part of his "Seven Pillars of Wisdom." The film's producer bought the screen rights. But the historicity of Lawrence's OWN book is a matter of great controversy.
All the controversies add to the film's fascination, imo.

Yep, and even now that the whole cholesterol causes heart attacks fable has been debunked sometime around 2015, doctors won't tell you and keep prescribing those statins. I wonder if there are still payoffs for them?
In the 40s hundreds of thousands soldiers were tested (blood). Now these were mostly extremely healthy 18-22 yearolds. Cholesterol average (bell curve) was 200-220. The medical bigwigs (3 of them) decided that in order to have anyone to study they should make it Below 200 as normal. And here we are 60 years later still with that made up standard.
Look up Mary G. Enig or "The Oiling Of America".

With a Mexican promotion Walz could honestly say he was a CSM. But as far as retirement pay, he won't receive CSM pay.
Usually in the Guard see it with officers, so that an O-6 Colonel can say they were a one star general. But still won't receive a general's retirement pay.

He received a provisional promotion, conditional on his meeting several specific conditions. Instead of meeting them he immediately resigned, in order to avoid being posted to Iraq, and the provisional promotion was officially rescinded.
However Walz spent the next 15 years in politics claiming he still had that rank. (Which he never actually had because he never fulfilled the terms)

The promotion from E-8 to E-9 was conditional. He was a Sergeant Major that needed to finish Command Sergeant Major school when he bugged out. He'd reenlisted for four more years to get the promotion/schooling and dropped his retirement papers after two years. The MN NG/Army? did something rarely heard of and yanked his promotion after he got out, publicly stating that he'd retired as an E-8.

Towards the end of the US Civil War it was very common, then it was called being Brevetted. I had an ancestor who was made a Brevetted General on the last day of his career, I think the Federal Army did a couple hundred of those, maybe more.
But that is NOT what happened to Walz. Walz was given the promotion conditional on him serving his unit in thru upcoming Iraqi deployment.

FiL was made an IA NG colonel upon his retirement, making him a brevet colonel. But he still refers to himself as a lieutenant colonel.

From what I read on Wki ( don’t laugh ) was that his official rank when he retired was Master Sgt because his promotion to Sgt Major was provisional and since he retired 2 years early his rank was officially Master Sgt.
If it’s normal to be able to still say he retired a Sgt Major in that scenario then it shouldn’t be an issue.

That is correct. He had a temporary promotion to CSM provided he take two training courses and ship out to Afghanistan or Iraq, I forget which. He re-upped for 6 years. He finished one course, then begged out after 4 to run for office. Due to those two factors, got out 2 years early as a Master Sergeant. Never in a combat zone but did do a little time in Italy. Claimed to be in combat and suffering PTSD. Talked about being at Bagram (in Iraq, he said, which is more BS). The dude's worse that Magic Hat Kerry, if that is even possible.
He also wanted to ban the weapons 'he carried into war', another oopsy-daisy.
Many videos of him interviewed and nodding along with the combat veteran narrative (he built) -- numerous times. They can claim no accident or slip of the tongue.
He's toast at the convention.

I wish someone at the nursing facility would apologize for keeping my father in solitary and not diagnosing his parkinsons until I mentioned his hand tremors. Of course he died of heart failure before the appointment was scheduled. I also wish the Governor who declared that nursing home patients had to be kept isolated due to the virus could only be allowed visitors if they had the shots, and then when he got the shots they changed their minds and kept him in solitary anyways.
I also want a pony, and you know, the plumbing company who came to replace my sewer line to the street actually sent me a picture of a pony before they ripped up the side yard all the way to the curb.
I don't blame BTH, he was afraid and trusted the lies that fed his fears. I should have been more afraid of what they would do to us to make sure we were afraid, though.

Well, it was only 40 bucks Canadian, so not a big loss. They are marginally OK indoors, but outdoors in the wind, they are effectively useless. You see those twitter vids with somebody outside doing an interview on a windy day, without a noise-canceling mike? Like that.
I did learn: that aids of that style are not terribly uncomfortable to wear, although the earplugs tended to work free over the course of a few hours.

As I understand it, Mars' problem from a terraforming perspective was that you can load it up with all the atmosphere and water that you want, but in its absence of a strong magnetic field, Solar Storm Days would keep more kids out of its public schools -- were the colonists stupid enough to import that failed education model -- than anything else.
And the absence of a strong and consistent magnetic field on Mars was due it not having a molten, and therefore capable of rotating, nickel-iron planetary core.
But again, that was my own understanding.

On the TeeVee, you see people using mikes with those big foam muffs on them; they seem to cancel wind noise quite effectively. Perhaps the earpieces should simply contain small amps to drive the ear "speakers", and connect by Bluetooth to a smartphone-like device, worn in a shirt pocket, that would contain respectable quality mics, and the signal-processing software.

The focus of my film is the versatile efforts of America's Lord Googly-Eyed Intensity, Nicholas Cage. (This title he took from Steve Buscemi in an epic slap-fight that raged for hours; to be the man you must beat the man.) Having lost a bet to Giada de Laurentis, whose pleasant exterior masks a ruthlessness that would make Machiavelli turn more pale than Christopher Walken in an Arctic blizzard, it fell to me to helm this project. Please consult YouTube for the scene "His soul is still dancing," and you will see why Werner drinks to excess.

Yesterday (the 11th) would have been my oldest brother's 81st birthday. Been gone a lot of years. Got cancer, but what killed him was a colonoscopy perforating his weakened bowel, and the docs failing to notify him of the elevated bacterial level right away. He could be a pain, ever since we were kids, but he had his good points, and got mellower a bit as he got older. Miss him.

Mars did have a magentic field way back billions of years ago. It lasted for a while, but the internal dynamo shut down.
One of the landers up there (a stationary one) has some of sort of seismic instrument which will be used to try to better get a handle on the internal structure.
In that ancient epoch, Mars also had an ocean. The ocean would've been over most of the northern hemisphere. The dry land would've been mostly on the bottom half.

A sound policy. One should also stipulate that renting pigs will not be allowed. Werner saw Lonesome Dove and recalls that being a point of pride with Augustus McCrae. Mind you, Werner does not know what was meant by that(nor, does he suspect he would like to know it), but if Captain McCrae opposes it, then of necessity all reasonable people should be agin' it, and not fer it.
