Was Abe Lincoln This Honest?
Oklahoma Girls Basketball Team Returns Championship After Discovering They Actually Lost
In a powerful display of honesty and sportsmanship, a high school basketball team in Oklahoma City has become a national example of integrity — by giving up their own championship title. The Academy of Classical Christian Studies girls basketball team had just celebrated what they thought was a thrilling victory. Their buzzer-beater in last season’s division championship game against Apache High School seemed to seal a 44–43 win and their place in the record books. But that same night, head coach Brendan King went home and rewatched the game footage — and something didn’t feel right. “As soon as I walked out of the locker room, my stomach kind of turned into knots,” King told CBS News. “I said, ‘I’m going to need to know if we really won this game or not.’” King painstakingly reviewed each basket, and his worst fear was confirmed: the scoreboard had been off. The actual score was 43–42, meaning Apache High had been the true winner. “It really tore me to pieces,” King said. By league rules, the score couldn’t be changed once the game was over. The Academy’s win was official — at least on paper. But when King told his players what he had discovered, their response made him proud. Together, the team made an extraordinary decision: they asked that their championship be revoked and awarded to Apache High School. The league agreed, and Coach King personally delivered the championship plaque to Apache.Amazing display of honesty and sportsmanship!
Desperate to get into prison and help his young grandson, a 60-year-old man from Guadeloupe robbed a local supermarket at gunpoint and then waited patiently to be arrested. The unusual incident took place at the end of September in Sainte-Rose, a commune in the north of the Guadeloupe archipelago. A former firefighter with no criminal record walked into a supermarket located near the local police station with a balaclava over his mouth and holding a firearm. After demanding all the money in the cash register and helping himself to “a piece of Emmental cheese and a bottle of wine,” the man was arrested as he slowly walked back to his car, as if he wanted to be caught. It turns out that this was his goal exactly, as he wanted to get into prison to help his grandson.A bit much, don't ya think?

A fashion plate showcasing the bustle’s bold curve, circa 1875.
Such jabs highlighted the bustle’s preposterousness, but it was a cultural flex. Its size signaled wealth, as only the elite could afford the fabric for such lavish silhouettes. The lobster tail in particular screamed high fashion, demanding intricate draping to accentuate its sharp lines. Yet, it sparked debate: doctors warned of spinal strain and reformers decried its impracticality.
By the late 1880s, slimmer lines took over, though bustles briefly returned in the 1890s with subtler “swayback” styles.
Today, the bustle’s bold spirit inspires. Designers like Vivienne Westwood echo its drama in structured gowns, while steampunk fans and Bridgerton costumes revive its theatricality.
The bustle wasn’t just fashion—it was engineering and audacity, and a reminder looking good trumping comfort is nothing new.

Yea, never got the Melanie Griffith appeal acting wise. Pretty hot, in her younger years. FYI, there is Gene Hackman movie in which he plays a private detective. A very young (teen) Melanie Griffith is in it. She's nekid in it. Early 70s, sometime. Can't remember the name of the movie.

In the movie Hobson's choice -- the one with Laughton, there are a few versions but that is the best.
Near the beginning, Hobson complains about his daughters walking around town "wagging" with a body form "natural in a wasp, but unnatural in a woman"
It is a funny scene. The whole movie is great. Highly recommended.

In prep to adding a whole-house surge protection unit to my breaker cabinet, I removed the cover. Okay - so all of a sudden, the exhaust hood didn't have power. Checked the breaker - flipped it Off and then back On. No joy. The hood is new so I assumed it was still good. Checked the receptacle for current. Nope. Neither of the outlets. Took the cover off and then checked the hot wire to the receptacle. Still nothing. Checked all the GFCIs even though that circuit shouldn't be on any of them - all good to tested and reset them anyway. Damn!! Went back out to the breaker boxes (I have two) and with a tester plugged into the 'bad' outlet and my wife watching it, went thru the entire boxes and flipped most of them off and back on - all except the 'obviously can't be on that circuit' ones. You know, HVAC, Oven, Pump, Water Heaters, Microwave, etc.
STILL NOTHING AND THIS IS STARTING TO FROST MY BEHIND!!!!
Finally, it dawns on me. The 'Microwave' circuit isn't. Last year when I replaced the MW with a vented hood and moved the MW to a different spot, I didn't change the label in the breaker box. The hood breaker was 'Off'.
Damn.

Our middle brother secured his place in family lore by putting a toothbrush in the toaster and melting it when we were quite young.
The parental units were not happy. The toothbrush was not too pleased, either.

Made to last but how expensive were they? I did a quick search and see a 17 cubic ft fridge in 1970 cost $300 on average. 17 was a typical size. Thats $2500 today. You can buy a no frills 17 cubic ft fridge for $600 today. Shit is a lot cheaper. You have to buy it more often but makes up for it in much lower prices.

Its interesting they would be so obvious about it. But it does reinforce the notion that this resolution of this shut down will be a pivotal moment for the country.
If the Dems get funding for illegals turned back on they'll spend the next year and a half grinding the government to a halt with ever more insane schemes...and they'll win the midterms.
I hope, and at this point expect, that Trump has played this all out and will continue to make the shut down worse and worse for the left.
But from an apolitical perspective, keeping the government shut down until the midterms isn't a bad idea anyway. We have too much debt, there are very, very few things the government is spending money that are more important then just not increasing the debt.

And for a significant portion of the voting populace this doesn't even enter their vapid heads when they go to vote for the "nice" person who says all the "correct" things. Or worse...as they go to vote for whoever the FNM tells them to vote for.

Au contraire, mon frere. Bakelite was, and is, amazing stable and durable. They make distributor caps and pistol grips out of it. And parts for electrical panels, too. It is a true "thermosetting" plastic, and once molded to its final form, keeps it, shy of being consumed in fire.

I have some 1920's radio sets with Bakelite knobs and panels, that are still strong and dimensionally true. 1920's Bakelite has stood the test of time a whole lot better than 1920's "pot metal".
The one "antique" plastic that failed dramatically was catalin. Ironically, catalin is in the same chemical family as Bakelite, namely "phenol-formaldehyde", but whereas Bakelite had a lot of filler material, like fabric, carbon black, or ground mica in it which added strength and stability, catalin was just pure resin, and dyes. It made beautiful works or art, but they would shrink and crack readily. They made some really wonderful Art Deco radio cabinets out of catalin, but there are few remaining examples, because the catalin plastic degraded so badly.

it is not as stable as bakelite, so it crazes and goes milky.

Yep, all Bakelite, or generic "phenolic". The distributor rotor, and the rubbing block for the ignition points, too. Pretty much standard for the automotive industry. You need a material that resists heat, can be accurately molded to fine dimensions, and is a perfect electrical insulator. Bakelite fills the bill.

My first thought was Melmac, or more generically, melamine resin plastic. But that came in the 1940s, so a little too late for the Art Deco heyday. I don’t know what plastics were preferred by Art Deco designers, but Melmac was colorful, but doesn’t seem to shrink much - at least judging by the not Melmac(TM) but other brand melamine resin plastic plates I have from my mother.

you know, you're probably right. I have problems with this one dude at one of the harley shops I work out of. This dude can't understand basic concepts. It took me months to get him to understand how the lifter adjustments are done on the engines. I bet JQ will understand this since she works on cars, and AOP knows this shit out of the womb, and any gear head, or anybody with math skills could follow. Harleys have/had adjustable pushrods. When the lifter is at the bottom, the adjustment is 3 1/2 turns. Thats with stock pushrods with a certain threads per inch. If you use a different brand push rod it could change, because it might be a different thread pitch. If its not 32 threads per inch and is 24 threads per inch the stock adjustment in the manual goes out the frigging window. I told him a scientific way to get it right every time.

Melamine ground up fools the device used to measure protein content in things like wheat flour or milk powder. Get a better price on bulk shipments, cargo ships or whatever. Kidney failure in dogs or babies, no worries.

The Chinese farmers / ag dealers spike their agricultural products with melamine monomer. Melamine is a six-membered aromatic ring with three carbons and three nitrogens -- water soluble and loaded with nitrogen. Protein content of dairy products etc. is often measured as nitrogen content. The melamine fools the measurement, and gets a higher price.
Polymerized melamine does not dissolve -- would not poison people and pets.

The hydraulic unit has 1/4" of travel, or .250, and you want to land in the middle, thats 1/8" OR .125, so close the pushrod all the way, grab a micrometer/caliper and set it for .125, and then see how many turns on the pushrod brings you to .125, or 1/8". that puts you right in the middle of the hydraulic units range. Its fool proof. No matter the thread pitch or the maker of the pushrod, you'll get it right every time if you measure how many turns it takes for you to make the pushrod 1/8" longer. Easy right? Not this guy. He comes back with well I was taught 3 1/2 turns. Are you a fucking idiot? Meanwhile, harley stop using adjustable pushrods on their last few engines, and went with a fixed custom length for each valve, and they can't be mixed up. You CAN put adjustable ones in, but you need to know the thread pitch and use the formula if the instructions of the pushrods don't tell you. So what does this chucklehead do? He does pushrods in his friends motor, and uses the 3 1/2 turn spec for an engine they haven't made in 40 years on a newer engine, and bends the pushrods and valves when he goes to start it.

I was going off the previous example before, but I *get it* about measuring the travel.
My old Ford doesn't have any valve 'adjustment' -- rods are specific lengths and must be returned to their original places. God help you if you bend any. (I'm not *that* experienced!)

You prove my point. If i had the need of someone with your skills I'd hire you in a heartbeat and already be thinking of a better use for you.
You can never have too many smart people in your organization. I'd rather hire really smart people who know nothing about what my company's products than drones who read a few manuals.

JQ, its really easy. There are only 4 pushrods and they are color coded with a band of paint. Put the right color in the right spot and you're done, and the book will tell you what goes where. If there are no colors, like if they get worn off just lay the pushrods down. The longest is front exhaust, the next shortest is rear exhaust, the next shortest is front intake, and the last one which is the shortest is rear intake. I do it that way anyway just in case.

Older harleys can be run as solid or hydraulic. The hydraulic unit is a separate unit that literally drops into the lifter, remove it, drop a solid adapter in and poof, you got solids. Then you adjust them to where you can just spin the pushrods. They are all roller cams too. In 1984 with the new evo engine the hydraulic units are different, more like a car, and the 99-up twincam motors basically use chevy LS lifters. The make hydro-solids for the '84 -up newer engines. There is a travel limiter in the unit, so they get adjusted down to the limiter like a solid, but then backed off like a 1/2 turn. Hydraulic quiet while cruising around, solid when you grab a handful of throttle.
