No football bets today, none of the games are enticing me. I had to call off tonight as it appears that there was a tornado or a microburst and the area looks like a war zone, I lost many shingles, gutters, siding, sofit and fascia. Here are trees down in our very local area and damage to all the houses in a two block wide path.
The chainsaws are running, power crews are out, and I’ve gotta clean up. Mrs Coldwarrior and the children heard the tornado warnings and went into the basement. No one hurt, just a bunch of cleaning up to do…and bbq some ribs. Can’t clean up without bbq!
In addition to no one being injured – you have POWER!! I gather you weren’t home at the time….?
Regarding the story near the bottom of the previous thread about a lawsuit against the military vaccine mandate, there’s at least one significant incorrect detail. Nobody is going to receive a Dishonorable Discharge for refusing to get it. They would likely receive a General Discharge Under Honorable Conditions.
A Dishonorable Discharge can only be issued as a result of a conviction by a General Court Martial, and it usually goes along with prison time.
I see there were tornado warnings in the land of Vitamin I last night. Duquesne Light went dark for some. Kinda late in the season for tornados.

Marxists try to take Federal Reserve as Biden weighs whether to reappoint Powell:
https://nypost.com/2021/10/17/marxists-try-to-take-fed-reserve-as-biden-weighs-powell-reappointment/
Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers sounded the alarm last week when he blasted “a generation of central bankers who are defining themselves by their wokeness … They’re defining themselves by how socially concerned they are.”
He’s not wrong if a recent research paper from a Fed economist is any indication.
“The primary role of mainstream economics in our society is to provide an apologetics for a criminally oppressive, unsustainable, and unjust social order,” wrote Jeremy Rudd.
Employees of the Federal Reserve reportedly are being subjected to ideological training on “white fragility,” “unconscious bias,” “critical climate justice” and how to “decolonize the atmosphere.”
Atlanta Fed: The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the third quarter of 2021 is 1.2 percent on October 15, down from 1.3 percent on October 8.
Read the caveats. Quite amusing.
In particular, it does not capture the impact of COVID-19 and social mobility beyond their impact on GDP source data and relevant economic reports that have already been released. It does not anticipate their impact on forthcoming economic reports beyond the standard internal dynamics of the model.

Yesterday afternoon, President Biden announced his intention to nominate Rear Admiral Ann Phillips, US Navy (Retired), as the next US Maritime Administrator, a position that has been vacant since Rear Admiral Mark Buzby stepped down following the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol in January.
Phillips is a highly decorated Navy leader with a long list of accomplishments and is highly respected by everyone gCaptain has interviewed. She was head of the Navy’s Climate Change Task Force and is a highly sought after consultant on climate security issues. She holds an MBA. She was chairman of a local government Sea Level Rise Preparedness and Resilience project. She once captained a Navy warship. The appointment looks great on paper except for one kinda big problem. This is not a warship position. It’s a commercial shipping appointment and she has zero experience aboard any commercial ships. She does not even have experience leading navy military sealift ships.

Look what’s buried in the ‘spending’ bill.
“The increased fines on employers could run as high as $70,000 for serious infractions, and $700,000 for willful or repeated violations — almost three-quarters of a million dollars for each fine. If enacted into law, vax enforcement could bankrupt non-compliant companies even more quickly than the $14,000 OSHA fine anticipated under Biden’s announced mandate.”

For the first time, the list will include only electric appliances that can run on 100% clean energy.

I was just casually perusing through the internet the other day and came across this story. The Walton Family…a family worth a combined $238.2 BILLION and have more wealth than 43% of all Americans combined have decided that they want to buy something money has never been able to buy in America…water. Specifically the Colorado River. The Wall Street Journal wrote an article explaining their position which is that the River is in crisis and they’re going to save it by buying it and then selling the water to the 40 MILLION people who depend on it for everything from drinking water to electricity to irrigation to grow the food we eat.
The theory by the Waltons and others is that by privatizing the Colorado River water they can raise the price which will force people to conserve their water as if it were gas or electricity because water will be treated like any other commodity.

Three aging Air Force veterans came to Washington, D.C., on Tuesday to again tell their strange and extraordinary stories. A fourth veteran was piped into the National Press Club conference by video feed from the Ozark Mountains in Missouri.
Each veteran’s story is different, but all share one central claim: In the 1960s, UFOs tampered with nuclear weapons managed by the Air Force, both terrifying and mystifying the airmen who experienced the encounters. Some remained silent for decades, they say.

There are so many of these instances of stupidity now occurring. A few months ago I started bookmarking such stupidity but gave up. Let me be clear I was not actively looking for stupidity. These were instances that I saw in the news or on Twitter.
A couple of examples. One from the withdrawal of British troops from Afghanistan. There was a photograph of about 100 troops all asleep on the floor of a cargo aircraft and many comments noted a distinct lack of diversity in the British army.
The British army is a volunteer force. Maybe more black people should volunteer to defend their country.
A more recent one of note is Chicago art museum no longer requiring the services of their volunteer museum guides because the majority were white middle class women.
Maybe the problem is no black people were volunteering.
As to cis gender males ( A.K.A real men ) being plumbers. Most of the plumbers are male.
Maybe more women and trans-sexuals should become plumbers then they could do the plumbing in “safe spaces”
And, yes women plumbers exist. However the videos are more suited to Diary of Daedalus than here. LOL
This is an example.

But it turns out Oberlin has an entire segregated housing complex based on some kind of ‘identity’ algorithm. This won’t get fixed until we stop contorting social spaces for the outliers.

In recent days, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has told associates that he is considering leaving the Democratic Party if President Joe Biden and Democrats on Capitol Hill do not agree to his demand to cut the size of the social infrastructure bill from $3.5 trillion to $1.75 trillion, according to people who have heard Manchin discuss this. Manchin has said that if this were to happen, he would declare himself an “American Independent.” And he has devised a detailed exit strategy for his departure.

The energy of that 3,000 foot lump reaches all of the way to the bottom of the ocean, loses some energy through dissipation laterally and more when it crosses the mid oceanic ridge. This appears as a small ( 2 foot) high velocity wave mid Atlantic. When the wave energy reaches the US Continental shelf the energy is further dissipated through frictional forces, however as the water becomes more shallow the wave heights increase as whatever wave energy is contracted into a shorter water column. The wave energy is further dissipated through friction as wave heights build, and the wave breaks off shore where the normal sea level has retreated to. The final wave reaches the shoreline as whitewater of different energy levels and floods across the actual historical coastline as a broken water surge that penetrates several Km inland depending on coastal topology.
It is NOT a 3,000 foot high wall of water!

Based on Sumatra and Japanese experience, the ‘tide’ goes out several KMas the wave height builds as it approaches land. The wave breaks multiple Km from shore and the white water surge is normally around 6′ – 10 ‘but it just goes on and on and on for many minutes. Friction prevents a major wave height reaching the original shoreline because water from the shore is drawn out to sea to feed the building wave energy from the shore side. There is a similar pull from the offshore side of the wave as well. Tsunamis tend to break just before the point where the new shoreline has formed as water withdraws from the original shoreline. The breaking wave dumps quite a lot of energy in the process of breaking. Broken surges are what finally reach the original shoreline as those 6′-10’ broken surge. It’s the length of time that the surge lasts crossing a given point that governs how far it reaches inland. A LOT of energy is lost in lateral dissipation, friction and transition from unbroken wave to broken water. Every meter of retreated shoreline the broken water crosses is that much less energy the broken water has when it finally reaches the original shoreline. The volume of displaced water is directly proportional to the energy generated by the slip of rock into the sea by the volcano. The leak of this total energy is what dissipated the resulting broken water wave reaching a far off shoreline.

Some computers also have a key sequence that you can use to clear them when unplugged and the battery removed.

Shipping Containers From Stranded Ships Abandoned in California Neighborhoods
Shipping containers stranded for weeks at sea are now reportedly being abandoned in California neighborhoods.
Anaheim Street in Los Angeles has become one of the locations where an overflow of empty containers now line local streets, as nearby UCTI Trucking deals with more than they can handle under the local port’s 24/7 operations.
“It’s a bunch of neighbors that are very upset because it’s a non-stop issue,” local resident Sonia Cervantes told CBSLA. Cervantes also said a container had blocked her car at one point.
UCTI Trucking owner Frank Arrieran addressed the situation, as the company experiences massive overflow to its usual 65 container spaces.
“Right now with the ports and everything that’s going on over there we’re stuck with the containers, having to bring them all to the yard, and we only have so much space,” Arrieran told CBSLA.

We all kick in $60 a year for the upkeep of the mini dam at the top of the slope and the odd replacement underground water pipe that have been laid..

They did very well cutting code for government contracts. They had a huge place just north of Auckland with an underground pistol range under his estate.
He was the guy who wrote all of the code for the Voyager 1& 2 probes to Jupiter and beyond for NASA. Did his doctorate at Stanford and worked at JPL for a long time before starting his own company. Wrote and manufactured the first Mars lander that was equipped with a shovel and testing lab aboard. He used very cunning and robust software and designed and built the hardware in NZ. His company was called General Dynamics New Zealand. I kid you not! How he got away calling it General Dynamics I will never know.
His wife Louisa, was one of my Intel Ops. Smart as a whip but just a baggy (Private). She was an ace interrogator and with a Brit corporal they used to tag-team against SAS recruits and interrogate them for their Resistance to interrogation course. I recommended that she do an Officers training course. She aced to course and ended up an active Reserve Brigadier General by the time she retired. She was all into combat shooting as well.

@ eaglesoars:
We use the dam as a buffer. The inlet pipes are about 1 foot above the base and the dam is fed by a underground spring. The water just flows over the top of the dam and runs downhill for about 1Km and into the sea at Ngarimu Bay.
The mix of fresh and salt water just off the rocks and a tiny beach causes micro-organisms to grow and the little fish feed of this plankton. The big fish then eat the little fish and we catch the big fish, just off the beach. There are a patch of oysters that are available at low tide and then the main beach starts from there and runs to a little headland about 400 m down Ngarimu Bay, followed Thornton Bay Beach about 500 m long.

It has a lot of background info that the movie omitted – weather, oceanics, ship construction, the long line fishing industry. No one knows the fate of the Andrea Doria except that it disappeared. Linda Greenlaw, the other skipper, also wrote a book of the events. Not as well written, but it fills in some blanks.

Didn’t know there were multiple ships. Interesting.
Good news- Mrs MF is negative on COVID.
Bad news- mom fell when she was out walking and we’re at the ER waiting on X-Rays to be evaluated. Should know in about 90 min. She was helicopter watching. They’re checking for anything broken or any internal bleeding.

@ lobo91:
why was he even ‘pretend’ shooting a photog director and the film’s director? So he pulled the trigger TWICE?
It doesn’t sound as tho they were shooting a scene.
@ eaglesoars:
Those types of incidents almost always happen off-camera, because when they’re actually shooting a scene, professionals have made sure that things are blocked out in such a way that the weapon’s never pointed directly at anyone.
@ eaglesoars:
It’s apparently a period piece set in the 1890s, so it wouldn’t have been any sort of automatic weapon. About the only thing I can think of right off is that it might have been a shotgun, and the two people who were hit were standing next to one another.
@ lobo91:
That sounds plausible.
A woman, Elizabeth Schulz, called in to Chris Plante’s show. She attended a rally at the Fairfax County school board yesterday. She wasn’t the only one. She counted 5 unmarked, one DHS vehicle and at least one helicopter. And one guy walking around talking notes. She says they intended to be seen in order to intimidate. Chris asked her if she got any pics/video. She was carrying a flag so she couldn’t. But somebody called in during the break and SHE has some sort of visual record.
eaglesoars wrote:
Fair is fair. Rally attendees should start taking pictures of the unmarked license plates, DHS ID, and photos and any other information on the “officers” doing the intimidating and then publishing that information. Doxing can work two ways.
@ AZfederalist:
There is a lot of MENTAL and ATTITUDE work to be done. They weren’t prepared for this and I think that’s understandable. As time goes on, I think they might be. Quite a few have no problem taking videos of the school board meetings themselves.

ok, but why does this concern the AG/DOJ?
Another update on mom.
She’s been feeling bad all day so we went back to the ER. They did another CT scan, this time of her chest, ribs and hips, and they found bowel obstruction.
They’re keeping her overnight and will see if surgery is needed.
Unfortunately I can’t stay- no vacation time left.
Prayers needed.
@ eaglesoars:
Racist banks and other lending institutions. White people who refuse to sell to blacks.
Realtors who tell blacks the place has sold.
So, assuming that the information in that NY Times piece is accurate, it appears to have been a single action revolver converted to fire metallic cartridges (or most likely, a modern replica of one). Unless it was firing some sort of boomerang rounds, they have the order of impact wrong. The DP was sitting in front of the director, and was obviously hit first. It sounds like the round went through her and then hit the director in the shoulder.
That was clearly not an instance of debris being propelled by a blank round, like what happened to Jason Lee. That was a live full power cartridge. That should never have been anywhere near a working set.
It also appears that I was correct about it being a rehearsal, rather than actual filming. That could explain (but not excuse) the lack of a qualified armorer on set at the time.
As much as I loathe Alec Baldwin as a person, I’m inclined to blame the armorer for this one. If it had been his personal gun, and it happened in his house, or at the range, it would be his responsibility to check it. In a situation like this, though, the production company is paying a supposed expert good money to make sure everything is done safely. Nobody expects actors to be firearm safety experts, particularly with antiques. As someone I saw on TV earlier said, it’s a workplace safety issue, not a gun issue.

What else has changed since 1960 that would affect the disparity, Garland?
While we are on the subject of racism it does exist. Even here in very multi cultural Houston.
An example. When I had a car and pre-covid I went to my local Popeyes and got a box of mixed chicken 8 pieces $15.59. Just chicken no sides. It was good but not much meat on the pieces and there was lots of spare room in the box.
A few weeks later one evening as I was having a beer I desired chicken but did not want to drive drunk so ordered same from Uber Eats. I had a $15 coupon so my chicken delivered just cost fees and tip.
Box was full, no empty space and meaty chicken. AWESOME!
Weeks later drove in person to get my chicken box. Scrawny pieces, box half full.
Then covid struck. ( and car died but that is another story ) so, ordered my chicken online to be delivered. Yep, full box, meaty chicken! The lid on box would not close.
Last Popeyes box of chicken I got delivered actually came in a BIGGER box!
Now, I may be completely misinterpreting this but it seems to me that when I went to Popeyes in person I got a lot less chicken in my box. Still eight pieces but scrawny pieces.

@ Possum:
That’s something you should document.
eaglesoars wrote:
If I had a car I would. Order a delivery online and then go drive to the store and order same thing. Both orders would be prepared at the same time and Popeyes is so close I would be back home before delivery arrived. Weigh both.
Do this several times and see if there is a significant difference.
Physicists Created a Supernova Reaction on Earth Using a Radioactive Beam
how many times have I told you to stay away from the radioactive beams??!!
For the first time, physicists have been able to directly measure one of the ways exploding stars forge the heaviest elements in the Universe.
By probing an accelerated beam of radioactive ions, a team led by physicist Gavin Lotay of the University of Surrey in the UK observed the proton-capture process thought to occur in core-collapse supernovae.

Merrick Garland Strangely Silent After Indiana School Board Member Tries to Attack Parent at Meeting
we turn to a disturbing incident that took place in Indiana earlier this week that we haven’t heard much about for some reason. Per Indianapolis news outlet WTHR, things got extremely heated during a Shenandoah school board meeting after Jason Greer, a parent who was expressing his opposition to mask mandates for children, was nearly attacked by school board member/assistant secretary Alan Troxell.
Prior to the attempted attack, where Troxell had to be physically restrained (as you’ll see in the video clip), Greer referred to him as an “idiot”:

@ lobo91:
During an extended exercise we had been moving through swampland for days and sleeping on any bit of dry land we could find. Company night harbor set up with MG posts in sandbagged above ground level positions (digging was not on as they filled with water immediately. Set our loads of trip flares on approaches and settled down for a night swatting mosquitos.
About 2Am had several flares tripped and quite a battle ensued. One of our MG pits was getting over run and I raced the 20m to help them out. One the umpires got a little too involved and was leading an attack on a MG pit. As I arrived I lost my footing and came in sliding on my arse feet first. The Regular Force Umpire loomed over me, as enemy were beating the shit out of our gunners. (We’d been at it for days, and we’d been keeping a Bn ‘awake’ for nights at a time and they were VERY grounchy about it !). The umpire rose up over me intending to whip my arse as well. Instinctively I fired a 7.62 blank into his face and he fell backwards into the swamp. Now I KNEW he was going to whip my arse! As I retreated back to the Company CP, I fell over a 2Lt who slept through the whole thing. Grabbed the bottom of his sleeping bag and emptied him into the swamp and told him to get down to his Pl, grabbed a sugar bag full of para flares and kept the whole scent alight for 30 minutes, until the whole thing died down.
The WO2 Umpire was ‘Dasher’ Wheatly an infamously ‘hard man’ in the Army. He shipped out for his third ‘Nam posting as an advisor with the ARVN, with another Aussie WO2. They were leading an ARVN Bn when they ran over a NVA main force regiment. The ARVN ran away but Wheatly stayed with his now critically wounded Aussie WO2 mate , armed himself with the ARVN Bn’s whole load of 40mm grenade launcher ammunition and fought off a whole NVA Regiment for 30 minutes until both Aussie WOs were finally over run and killed. Dasher earned a posthumous Victoria Cross ( like a Medal of Honor).
I can still remember Wheatly’s shocked look on his face when my blank burned the hairs off his face as he fell backwards into that swamp.
