All Those ONTs Will Be Lost In Time, Like Tears In Rain

Apparently the Canadian military no longer practices marching in formation. Not that marching is a combat skill, but it indicates training and discipline. This tells me that the brass just doesn't care. Not a good sign.

Jake Paul was on a DisneyChannel show 'Bizzaardvark' and he was pretty funny. "PrettyCon" still makes me laugh out loud at least 20 times. Never followed much of him otherwise.

46 So I poured concrete in the ball of the ball vise, it’s semi-hardened and is heavy AF.

Next step is to file down the coupling nuts for the base because when they advertise 24mm coupling nuts, what they really mean is they are 25mm.

47 Re: the WhatsApp group size limit being 256, when programming it sometimes makes sense to size some things to be powers of 2.

70 Re: Whatsapp... I believe that Whatsapp is built on Elixir/Erlang, which has binary pattern matching. 256 is a bit, if I remember correctly, and thus you can fit many of those in a single byte.
With as many messages as Whatsapp is slinging, it makes sense to look for optimizations that can save a bit of memory, literally.

It's like no one hand codes assembly anymore, except for very rare instances. Like Apple's memory freeing routine is handcoded assembly, because they saved an instruction--and when you run that routine something like 20000 times a second, cutting one instruction out of a 6 line assembly program matters. Something like a general 15% speedup just by making that one change.

I have to say, that's one of the smallest model trains I've seen that could carry a person. I've seen much bigger model steam trains, with real seated passenger cars; the old Ocean View Amusement Park (in Norfolk) used to have such a train. I always loved riding in that as it went all over the amusement park. And that steam smell. You either love it or you hate it.

At least you made them fit. No local store nor Amazon had the Ford relay I wanted to buy so I went to the dealer. Parts guy brings out a new relay and by golly it was wrong. My relay is about an 8th of an inch smaller than All of the others and Mr. Ford doesn't have an answer.

Well, he said they did have my flasher element and I could pick it up tomorrow so, I paid for the order. Next day I go to pick it up and it's wrong. It's so wrong it has a sheath around the blades. I showed the guy mine before he ordered it. When I opened the box and said this is wrong, he said, ye ah, I know.
They were going to let me walk out of the store with the wrong part, knowing that it would not fit.

124 The limit in WhatsApp can affect how many network packets might be required for each message. Going to 257, or 65536, is the same - messages on the edge have one more packet. That means more bandwidth, and perhaps longer to deliver the message. If you have limited bandwidth in your data plan, it costs you more money, and certainly costs WhatsApp more.

Like Apple's memory freeing routine is handcoded assembly, because they saved an instruction--and when you run that routine something like 20000 times a second, cutting one instruction out of a 6 line assembly program matters. Something like a general 15% speedup just by making that one change.

183 Disney would be better served to replace Rachel with a CGI version of the original Snow White.

One of the odd things about modern hollywood is there are literally thousands of actresses that could play the role better then Rachel and cheaper too.

No one is going to watch their movie because it stars her instead of say Jane Smith from Cleveland. Though I guess $2M isn't a lot by Hollywood standards - Gadot is making $15M. She might draw some people to watch but...is even she worth that much...err...almost certainly not.

The Philthy Flyers and Big Bad Bruins era. Some epic games.

My favorite, and the Klingons would approve, was when Phlithy played an exibition against The Red Army team in '76. The game was so brutal, the Russians left the ice in the first period after a non-call on a Philthy player who leveled one of the Russian's best, laying him out on the ice. I'm not a Flyers fan, obviously, but that game they did us proud, beating the shit our of the Commies 4-1.

But, at $80,000 or whatever a body, cops leaving in droves here too, heavy handed oppression was one of my lesser worries.

Our area was taking back 60 year old retired cops.

252 Had a bit of outdoor winter fun with the Canadian Forces long ago, and as a nice gesture they put me up for my last night at the small military base inside the Citadel of the old city in Quebec (the officer's mess). Bear-skin rugs, huge walk-in size fireplaces with roaring fires, portraits of Canadian military historical figures on the walls, white-gloved orderlies in red tunics, dress up for meals, tout en francais (ceremonial HQ of the francophone Van Doos, 22nd regiment). Amazing.

1. When did people require such validation? Leave the internet out of it and just set up a meeting with the teacher to have a little discussion about being a douche.
2. Sit down with your daughter and if she's really serious about being a gymnast, she just got free motivation from a grumpy teacher to kick ass and take names.

We're done here. No getting opinions from nitwits on Reddit. No drama queen whining to School management. Just a nice sit down with the teacher to make her feel about 2 inches tall. Time for ice cream.

264 Deadline....8 minutes ago...Fight hasn't happened?

Netflix‘s much hyped and much delayed live fight tonight between Mike Johnson and Jake Paul is taking some hits even before the former heavyweight champion and the YouTuber turned boxer have climbed in the ring.

From nearly the start of the undercard bouts from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TXm the streamer has been freezing, losing sound and proving slow to reload. While not crashing as Netflix did when Luke Cage launched on the streamer in October 2016, the audio on the feed cut out over and over and the quality of the image was reduced to smeared pixels repeatedly.

300 andycanuck, I've been lucky to experience some cool things over the years, but that time at the Citadel was among the best.

Just remembered a funny part of it, that night I had chatted pleasantly with some local girls at a nearby bar, and when they asked me which hotel I was using, they didn't believe me when I said I was staying that night inside the Citadel. So one of them walked with me through the frigid night when the bar closed.

We approached the sentry at the entrance to the military inner sanctum, I identified myself and he cleared me to enter, telling the young lady she could not come in. She was amazed, but sadly I left next day and was not able to, um, exploit the capital I had generated.

For Christmas one year, I asked my 3 siblings what their favorite items were at the bakery, and then I searched through the ads to find ones that matched those items. I then framed the ads with pictures from the bakery.

307 I would take the Citadel, VMI, Texas A&M and maybe also Virginia Tech and put them at the top of the non-military Academy schools for ROTC. A lot of people don’t realize that Texas A&M even though it is a very old state school well over 120 or 30 years old, but it was always a military school as As well As an ag school. Up until the early 1970s everyone at Texas A&M was in the core of cadets and it was an all male school. There has been a big change because even in the early 90s it had the largest freshman class of any college in the country so things change.

333 >>>everyone at Texas A&M was in the core of cadets and it was an all male school. There has been a big change because even in the early 90s it had the largest freshman class of any college in the country so things change.

336 328, hey Rick! My recollection of Texas A&M is the first female students allowed were children of professors. I guess I could look up the date but I think it was actually later in 1970s maybe 75 or 76. Ever today at Texas A&M the core of cadets plays a pivotal role on campus and pretty much leads the campus life. At least that was true in the 90s when I was there, I know things change a lot and Texas A&M. I knew not exactly the Texas A&M students today experience. But by comparison to all the other schools, it’s pretty darn conservative.

339 What I like to do, is mix up a couple heaping helping Tbsp. of Cocoa powder and several Tbsp. of Sugar, a healthy Pinch of Salt, and a splash of Cold Wster and stir in a cup to make a smooth paste. Heat this till nice and bubbly, don’t burn it, though don’t be shy either.

Then mix in the Milk, half and half, or what have you. Evaporated is pretty good too. Also, grated Nutmeg is really tasty stuff. The pre-ground is something different.

You can buy these special-purpose Nutmeg Graters. It holds one (1) Nutmeg. Or Meg worth of Nut anyhow. Trust Me. Make a Vanilla shake and grate a big chunk off into that and tell me what you think!

Not that I follow college football anymore but I've been led to believe the new conferences destroyed a lot of natural rivalries. Schools want the money bigger games bring.

He continues the odd argument that saying that trannies aren't whatever sex they cosplay as is denying they exist as people.

Nose rings are one of the most amusing pieces of jewelry. They are bright shining light of ignorance. Historically, you could trace nose rings back a couple centuries, but they were used on cattle to assure compliance. It's one of their most sensitive areas, and allowed the herder control of the more problematic cows.

So, we have subjugation, control by the patriarchy and cows all in the same historical reference, and women wear nose rings not understanding their original purpose.

Oh, and you can go back a few more centuries and see nose rings used to control slave factions over in Africa and what is now the Sudan.

So when I see a woman wearing a prominent nose ring I have to laugh. It's like wearing a Swastika or the Lightning bolt SS because it looks nifty.

Well, as you note the nose ring is a symbol of compliance.

365 When I was a kid, there were "lady finger" firecrackers. About an inch long, and maybe 1/8" in diameter. Made a pretty loud bang, too.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon

IIRC from my long-ago yout', a lady finger was half a Black Cat. A black cat was half a cherry bomb, maybe. And a cherry bomb was half an M80. And an M80 was, what, a quarter sick of dynamite? Those proportions may just be wrong, but it was the lore of the July 4ths back when. Been a long, long time since I saw a cherry bomb, much less an M80.

M80s could be thrown in the swimming pool, the fuse wouldn't go out, and they'd make quite a geyser. They also did some significant damage to toilets at school, so my older brother told me....

366 My best memory of Kyle Field (A&M): it was fall1980 I think, beautiful fall weekend, Baylor was 0-5 and sucked that year, the Aggies were 5-0 and talking about a national championship. Me and about 5 pals drove down to College Station, started drinking Bloody Mary’s when we got up, about the only time I recall being ripped before 11 am.

So we go down to the game, Kyle Field as always is sold out, about 96,000 Aggies, and maybe 4,000 Baylor fans in a little stadium ghetto they put us in. We were supposed to be destroyed - and then that Baylor team came out and destroyed them, final was like 36-10 or something, our small section were cheering and dancing and laughing while 96,000 angry and disgusted Aggie fans watched us in stone cold silence while wanting to murder us all. Well we were too drunk to be as scared as we should have been, it was glorious!

That's my biggest beef with all of this crap in college football. It destroyed the natural rivalries. It's been slowly working that way for years but still. It sucks. I miss hating Pitt (as a wee Penn State fan). Those WVU/Pitt games were fun. They despised each other. Like the Hokies now so at least UV and VT still play each other every year but for how much longer. I expect the ACC with get PAC12'd at some point.

370 Follow-up to the Kyle Field story - heard later through our friends there that the Aggies were so overconfident that the night before the game, the entire team stayed up til dawn partying, drinking, and smoking weed with a couple of the local sororities - at game time they were all too hungover to hardly stand. The A&M coach was fired 3 days later, which is why I believe that was the reason for their debacle.

373 One last thing about Texas A&M and then I’ll get off the subject. But one thing I remember about Texas A&M in the 90s and also for several decades before the 90s is that it was a conservative school. It was a patriotic school, but all of that came from the student body not the teachers. They had rules at Texas A&M on how you were supposed to act that were student body lead rules. They had nothing to do with the teacher, who probably other than the business or school were lefties. It was the student body that held the traditions together at Texas A&M and I think that is how old schools are going to come back if they ever will.
