1 As it turned out, the prediction that a large-scale encounter between the populations of the Western nations and Muslim lands might bring about a meaningful social transformation was correct.

What Western optimists failed to imagine was that their own societies would be reshaped in the image of the newcomers they sought to evangelize.

I told my kids that day, this is your Pearl Harbor.

10 Fun fact I learned today:

One of the issues George Bush ran on in 2000 was subjecting Arabs to less scrutiny in airports.

In an October 11, 2000 debate with Al Gore, George W. Bush demanded less airport security scrutiny of Arab passengers.

Bush got what he wanted.

89 Household voting weighted for households is a BAD BAD BAD idea based on today's demographics.

I can confirm that local Mosques have an unwritten requirement to have at least 5 children. The Male in that family will have a menial job. No one else in that family will work, and the Mosque actually has a full time employee who has the job of keeping track of welfare benefits available to each family.

So, they will have one...maybe 2 eligble voters based on tax contribution....but just barely. And, you want to give them a weighted vote? NOPE.

100 I can confirm that local Mosques have an unwritten requirement to have at least 5 children. The Male in that family will have a menial job. No one else in that family will work, and the Mosque actually has a full time employee who has the job of keeping track of welfare benefits available to each family.

So, they will have one...maybe 2 eligble voters based on tax contribution....but just barely. And, you want to give them a weighted vote? NOPE.

151 Had an almost-nasty wreck in the shop today. I had the two pedestal from a steel desk; you know, the uprights with the drawers in them. I screwed hunks of 2X2 to the front and rear of the bottom of one, and drilled holes, and drove in some spindle-mount casters. Ah! Rolled around like champ. Welded the other pedestal on top, so like a rolling file cabinet. Toted it out to the big shop, and began filling it up. Six starters in the bottom drawer, five in the next, one in the third, plus a bunch of NOS oil filters, next drawer full of NOS oil filters. Began rolling it on the smooth concrete floor to place it against the wall. Crack! the front 2X2 split, and spit out two casters. The cabinet toppled forward, and all the drawers flew open. Nothing spilled at all. But I had to empty all the drawers, remove the split 2X2, and replace it with a 2X4, and I ran screws through it on either side of the holes for the caster spindles, to forestall another splitting event. Refilled it, and rolled it to the wall without a further wreck.

I bought a new recliner to replace my current one, which fits snuggly between two fully loaded book cases. I bought the new one sight unseen, online, picked it up in a big box (some assembly required) and wrestled the box onto my covered patio last week.

This evening I finally opened the box and brought the pieces inside. They looked a little bigger than my current chair. The new chair measures 40" across the back. The distance been the bookcases is 35".

It's time to ask: Is there any video footage of Zawahiri being Ginsu-ed?

Did he simply explode into a cloud of pink mist, or was he sliced into 3 sections that, in cartoon fashion, then slid apart?

Was he conscious long enough to feel his slices sliding apart?

I continue to be gob-smacked by the Schiehallion experiment. That was conducted by Nevil Maskelyne, 5th Astronomer Royal, and mathematician Charles Hutton.

Charles Mason, of Mason-Dixon fame, was also involved in precisely measuring distances that needed to be measured.

Their result for the density of earth, and hence the mass was off by about 20%.

But most of that error was due to factors they couldn't account for -- the higher order gravitational deviations and a more accurate model of the earth mean ellipsoid.

In 2005, a group took the original astronomical and geodetic measurements, but using more accurate precision models of the above. The result was within 1% of the modern accepted value. That's how good their measurements were. In 1774.

Not a new front, just more intensive (and aggressive) use of a proxy. I'm guessing (guessing) that MBS et al have long since concluded that things are beyond repair in the Gulf, and there's no real living with their hated ancestral enemy nutcases in Persia any longer. But such a sentiment will never be publicly uttered until the last IRGC stragglers are being hunted down in Afghanistan and Pakistan by Mossad-contracted bounty hunters.

That angle they measured was around the 1/3 the width of a human hair held at arm's length.

It took over 4 months of raw measurements and field work, and then a few more months after that just to do the computations by hand.

To do it, first they had to measure the volume of the mountain precisely, the determine the center of mass. Then they established a N-S meridian through that center. Some distance on either side, they mounted two zenith sectors. This is very precise telescope that doesn't move one little bit. It points straight up, according to plumb (and getting that plumbed to precision required.....)

And then a few months and thousands of observations of stars passing directly overhead. And the timing had to be precise. They needed to know the exact GMT time the star hit the bullseye.

Now, there is all sorts of human bias in the "mark!" moment. It's not random, each individual will have some systematic error in calling "mark". So, you have many different people do it, and then average it out.

Then you had twinkling and all that to worry with. And mechanical error in some of the apparatus. So, it took a few months with thousands of observations.

Those thousands of observations were enough to average out all those errors. And then you had to hand calculate those thousands of measurement averages.

Those two scopes on each side of the mountain were basically calculating the minute difference in latitude of the two points. But the vertical deflection introduced and error in that. So Charles Mason's job was to precisely measure the true geodetic distance between those two points, dead on the meridian. That then gave you the true difference in latitude. Compare that to the astronomical value, and you get the vertical deflection.

And that is how they weighed the earth in 1774.

258 We had wealthy neighbors who subscribed to the WSJ. The next day they would put it our mailbox and my parents would read it a day late. This went on for years.
Later Fleetwood Mac would record a song entitled Second Hand News.
Not a joke.

259 Ok, I am almost wondering if they thought that by leaking the fact that the holdout was black, then the right would abandon him.

Remember, they believe their own copy. They truly believe that we are viscerally racist.

260 Never had a Sting Ray/Banana seat bike. Was always tall for my age. Had 26" bike age 9 or 10.

This is very plausible. And it makes me chuckle.

262 Thanks for the ONT WD. My bike was a Cotton Crate.

My parents were at Pearl Harbor. I don't forget that one either.

264 When I was a young 'un, if Grandaddy had 55 gallons in a barrel, he was sure not gonna burn it. But he did teach me-

Put a match to it

If it burns clear blue, you can drink that

If you see any orange or yellow or the worst is green, that will make you blind or dead or both

266 I had a purple banana seat bike. My folks gave it to me after my First Communion. I recall a photo of me in my white shirt, dark blue slacks and red tie, folded hands, looking pious, with the bike next to me. Behind me was the huge blue spruce in our front yard.

Ah, the '70s.

269 My last "I should buy it should I find one" pistol was the Ortgies, and the one before that was the Mauser HSc.
My current white whale is the Colombian made Indumil Cordova "estandar" 9mm

The Estandar is a modified Browning tilting barrel action that was designed around the Galil trigger group that Indumil was already licensed to manufacture

That's exactly what they believe. They also believe the KKK was us because they believe the parties switched and they believe the party of national socialism, also known as the Nazi Party was us.

We are up against weaponized stupid people. They are so stupid and lacking in historical knowledge and immune to facts it is almost their super power. Thanks government schools.

The only way is straight through.
