For the better part of my adult life, every move I’ve made, every relationship I’ve formed, has been rooted in the napalm toxic soil of lies.
Not just any lies.
To an escalating degree over my adult life, I have eschewed my lived experience as a white Jewish child in suburban Kansas City under various assumed identities within a Blackness that I had no right to claim: first North African Blackness, then US rooted Blackness, then Caribbean rooted Bronx Blackness. I have not only claimed these identities as my own when I had absolutely no right to do so — when doing so is the very epitome of violence, of thievery and appropriation, of the myriad ways in which non-Black people continue to use and abuse Black identities and cultures — but I have formed intimate relationships with loving, compassionate people who have trusted and cared for me when I have deserved neither trust nor caring. People have fought together with me and have fought for me, and my continued appropriation of a Black Caribbean identity is not only, in the starkest terms, wrong — unethical, immoral, anti-Black, colonial — but it means that every step I’ve taken has gaslighted those whom I love.
Furthermore, if you’re ass is a busta 213 will regulate.

Speaking in Warren, Mich., Biden cited the number of confirmed cases and deaths from COVID-19 in Michigan as being the numbers for the military, saying the armed forces had seen 118,984 cases and 6,114 deaths.
Shortly after the event, Biden’s campaign quickly clarified that Biden had mixed up the numbers for Michigan with those from military. As of Wednesday, only seven members of the military had died from COVID-19.
“Vice President Biden has the utmost respect for the men and women of the armed services and believes it’s the sacred duty of our country to properly equip them, look after their families when they’re deployed, and care for them when they return,” Biden’s Deputy Rapid Response Director Michael Gwin said in a statement to Fox News.

His presence would be literal violence so extreme retaliation is justified in their minds.
Havel uses the example of a greengrocer who displays in his shop the sign Workers of the world, unite!. Since failure to display the sign could be seen as disloyalty, he displays it and the sign becomes not a symbol of his enthusiasm for the regime, but a symbol of both his submission to it and humiliation by it. Havel returns repeatedly to this motif to show the contradictions between the “intentions of life” and the “intentions of systems”, i.e. between the individual and the state, in a totalitarian society.
An individual living within such a system must live a lie, to hide that which he truly believes and desires, and to do that which he must do to be left in peace and to survive. This is comparable to the classical tale of “The Emperor’s New Clothes.”
…they must live within a lie. They need not accept the lie. It is enough for them to have accepted their life with it and in it. For by this very fact, individuals confirm the system, fulfill the system, make the system, are the system.

So the “flux rule” that the emf in a circuit is equal to the rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit applies whether the flux changes because the field changes or because the circuit moves (or both) …
Yet in our explanation of the rule we have used two completely distinct laws for the two cases – v × B for “circuit moves” and ∇ × E = −∂tB for “field changes”.
We know of no other place in physics where such a simple and accurate general principle requires for its real understanding an analysis in terms of two different phenomena.

The Mpemba effect is a process in which hot water can freeze faster than cold water. The phenomenon is temperature-dependent. There is disagreement about the parameters required to produce the effect and about its theoretical basis[1][2].
The Mpemba effect is named after Tanzanian schoolboy Erasto Bartholomeo Mpemba (born 1950) who discovered it in 1963. There were preceding ancient accounts of similar phenomena, but these lacked sufficient detail to attempt verification.

I know this because I once read through a list of Tanzanian scientists on a lark.

For this to be true, at some point there must be two identical containers at identical conditions (including, of course, at the same temperature), one of which has some property that is different from the other. At least for an instant, the samples are identical, but we are told they are different.
I doubt that occurs; I expect this is all explained by boundary conditions and actual differences in properties that elude excellent measurement. If I’m right, the larger the containers, the harder it is to detect any difference.
Not Adahn
on September 10, 2020 at 7:23 am
It does occur, but:
1. The samples need to start off the same mass.
2. The container needs to be insulating.
2) means that the cooling occurs primarily at the air/water interface.
1) means that when the hot sample has matched the temperature of the cold sample, it will have evaporated more so it requires less heat transfer to freeze than the cold sample.
I ran across something akin to this recently. I think it was about exhaust pressures in a rocket engine. In some designs, if you overpressurize the exhaust, the nozzle actually collapses inwards.
I put together my lesson plan for my constitution day lecture (to high school kids). Topic is “who does the bill of rights apply to?”.
First, I cover the philosophical underpinnings. Cicero, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Hobbes, and Locke. (Could’ve picked dozens of alternatives, but I wanted to hit on equality under the law, justice as a foundation of legitimate governance, innate human dignity and natural law, freedom of conscience, the state of nature, and natural rights, respectively)
Then I get into the Declaration, the BoR itself, and the Antifederalist papers, showing the intent of the founders to affirm universal truths.
Then I go through a set of SCOTUS cases where they fuck everything up by limiting the BoR from applying to certain people. Korematsu, Buck, Einstrager (German POW), and Frederick (“bong hits 4 Jesus” kid).
I think I’ll be giving these kids as much of a chance as possible to see that the country hasn’t quite lived up to the promise of the BoR.
Just went into an office building and they had a camera and monitor set up in the lobby. As you walk past, it puts a square around your face, tells you your temperature and will remind you to put on your mask if you aren’t wearing one. Creepy.
I was thinking Robocop, where the early model doesn’t recognize that the “perp” has put down his weapon. Robot keeps counting down how many seconds he has to comply. Ends up ventilating the guy pretty thoroughly.
“You aren’t wearing a mask. Please put on a mask. You have ten seconds to comply.”

Nebraska’s state nickname was once the “Bugeater State” and its people were known as “bugeaters” (likely named after the Common nighthawk).[11][12][1] The Nebraska Cornhuskers college athletic teams were also briefly known the Bugeaters, before adopting their current name, which was also adopted by the state as a whole.

For me, more often than not, I’m on my tablet and the comment area begins very close to the scroll/previous article arrows. Sometimes when trying to add quotes I hit the right arrow. If I hit stop soon enough I can still post before having to type out my comment again but it winds up posting as a stand alone comment.

The lawsuit describes a July 7, 2019, meeting between Blumenfeld and Oberlin Dance Department Chair Ann Cooper Albright, where she was advised to look for a new position, allegedly being told, “we can’t just hire another white woman from the Midwest with a husband.”
“Ms. Albright, acting individually and in her capacity as chair of Oberlin’s Dance Department, effectively rejected Ms. Blumenfeld for the new tenure-track position, not because of her accomplishments, her skill, her experiences, her work ethic, or her individual and personal qualities, but instead, because of her race, the color of her skin, her sex, her sexual orientation, her national origin, and her ancestry,” according to the suit.

That line got a sensible chuckle here. (I’m still working.)
For the better part of my adult life, every move I’ve made, every relationship I’ve formed, has been rooted in the napalm toxic soil of lies.
Not just any lies.
To an escalating degree over my adult life, I have eschewed my lived experience as a white Jewish child in suburban Kansas City under various assumed identities within a Blackness that I had no right to claim: first North African Blackness, then US rooted Blackness, then Caribbean rooted Bronx Blackness. I have not only claimed these identities as my own when I had absolutely no right to do so — when doing so is the very epitome of violence, of thievery and appropriation, of the myriad ways in which non-Black people continue to use and abuse Black identities and cultures — but I have formed intimate relationships with loving, compassionate people who have trusted and cared for me when I have deserved neither trust nor caring. People have fought together with me and have fought for me, and my continued appropriation of a Black Caribbean identity is not only, in the starkest terms, wrong — unethical, immoral, anti-Black, colonial — but it means that every step I’ve taken has gaslighted those whom I love.
Furthermore, if you’re ass is a busta 213 will regulate.
I love that song. I got my platoon in basic to chant “full magazine and one in the hole, regulators gonna make some bodies turn cold”. Regulators is a fairly common platoon name. It’s an old west term for bounty hunter.

Jessica Krug, a 38-year-old African history professor at GWU, was pulled from teaching duties amid calls for her to step down after she admitted to lying about her race in a Medium blog post on Sept. 3.

“I am not a culture vulture. I am a culture leech,” she said.

I could almost feel sorry that someone with such apparent devotion to and affection for the culture she embraced is forcing herself to repudiate it… except she discarded that culture for the rank leftist cancer that is racialist retardation. She might have insisted on it, fought for it, made her appeals, even if they fell on deaf ears, but instead she chose cancerous leftist groupthink. So go hang yourself with that noose you wove, idiot.

Exactly. Rachel Dolezal, except for the abject racialism and grievance posturing*, did nothing wrong.

Random question for the folks buying ammo (at this moment) – when stockpiling, do you prefer to go for defensive ammo or just ammo in general? Fenixammo.com does have some .45 in stock, but they’ve only got the 250 round packs available currently.
I have only been buying FMJ at this point. But a year ago Target Sport USA had a ridiculous deal on Speed Gold Dot and I ordered a full case. So, I have 1500ish rounds of Speer Gold Dot 9MM in house.
All the .203/5.56 and .308/7.62 that I have been able to get this year are all FMJ.
That was a good deal, wasn’t it? I’m swimming in Gold Dots, myself.
Yes it was.
Any ammo is “defensive ammo”.
Ah, lead. The other precious metal.
Yep, I’ve always laughed at people with gold coins, etc. for the apocalypse. I will be able to get a LOT more with lead than you can with that.
My precious metal portfolio is . . . diversified. I’ll trade lead 1 for 1.
I should add, if need be.
Buy it cheap. Stack it deep. All flavors.
Current market sucks balls.
“I will not panic buy at silly prices.”
*lounges on throne of ammo cans*
Those cans are empty, aren’t they?
Nope, and I need moar cans.
So I am right. They are empty, and you sit upon a throne of lies.
Not empty and you need moar coffee. ☕
I’ve been buying stuff I plan to shoot.
I tried some Federal HST in my CZs and liked it, so the last time I bought 9mm that’s what I bought.
I stick with FMJ for my .45.
I bought more XM855 5.56 NATO for my Tavor.
My other rifles are surplus, so whatever comes closest to what they were made for if I can’t find decent surplus.
Right now, if I didn’t already have a large supply of ammo and reloading components laid in, I’d take whatever I could get.
I’d say that a reasonable ammo stockpile would contain enough defensive ammo to test-fire in your work guns, and to get you through a reasonable defensive use, and enough practice ammo for a couple of years of sustainment training. Anything above and beyond that should be used for practice, right now. Ammo without skill is someone else’s loot drop.

***
Speaking in Warren, Mich., Biden cited the number of confirmed cases and deaths from COVID-19 in Michigan as being the numbers for the military, saying the armed forces had seen 118,984 cases and 6,114 deaths.
Shortly after the event, Biden’s campaign quickly clarified that Biden had mixed up the numbers for Michigan with those from military. As of Wednesday, only seven members of the military had died from COVID-19.
“Vice President Biden has the utmost respect for the men and women of the armed services and believes it’s the sacred duty of our country to properly equip them, look after their families when they’re deployed, and care for them when they return,” Biden’s Deputy Rapid Response Director Michael Gwin said in a statement to Fox News.
***
Good save, Michael. Your boss would promote you if he could remember your name.
oops, I forgot the money shot

Gwin added: “To honor their service, the Vice President carries with him each day a card detailing the number of Americans who have given their lives for our country in Iraq and Afghanistan, and frequently cites that number to recognize their sacrifice.”
Biden has taken criticism before for confusing statistics when it comes to the coronavirus pandemic.
In June, Biden incorrectly said 120 million people had died from the contagion in the U.S.

They were all from North Dakota, that’s why why there are few people still alive over there.

Havel’s greengrocer
Havel uses the example of a greengrocer who displays in his shop the sign Workers of the world, unite!. Since failure to display the sign could be seen as disloyalty, he displays it and the sign becomes not a symbol of his enthusiasm for the regime, but a symbol of both his submission to it and humiliation by it. Havel returns repeatedly to this motif to show the contradictions between the “intentions of life” and the “intentions of systems”, i.e. between the individual and the state, in a totalitarian society.
An individual living within such a system must live a lie, to hide that which he truly believes and desires, and to do that which he must do to be left in peace and to survive. This is comparable to the classical tale of “The Emperor’s New Clothes.”
…they must live within a lie. They need not accept the lie. It is enough for them to have accepted their life with it and in it. For by this very fact, individuals confirm the system, fulfill the system, make the system, are the system.

The changes are set to take effect as early as Monday, according to the draft rollout plan seen by Reuters, but the move could still be delayed, US officials said.

I can’t remember if I learned this in school or not, but it blew my mind today…
Kirchoff’s Law is only a corner case of Faraday’s Law, meaning that in some circumstances, the voltage between two points in a circuit depends on the path you take to get there. ?
They taught us that at my school, but it was met with some resistance.
So the “flux rule” that the emf in a circuit is equal to the rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit applies whether the flux changes because the field changes or because the circuit moves (or both) …
Yet in our explanation of the rule we have used two completely distinct laws for the two cases – v × B for “circuit moves” and ∇ × E = −∂tB for “field changes”.
We know of no other place in physics where such a simple and accurate general principle requires for its real understanding an analysis in terms of two different phenomena.
— Richard P. Feynman, The Feynman Lectures on Physics
Maybe so. I’d still rather shoot a machine gun through a propeller than design an integrated circuit.

This is one of my favorite science, wtf? factoids:
***
The Mpemba effect is a process in which hot water can freeze faster than cold water. The phenomenon is temperature-dependent. There is disagreement about the parameters required to produce the effect and about its theoretical basis[1][2].
The Mpemba effect is named after Tanzanian schoolboy Erasto Bartholomeo Mpemba (born 1950) who discovered it in 1963. There were preceding ancient accounts of similar phenomena, but these lacked sufficient detail to attempt verification.
***
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpemba_effect
I know this because I once read through a list of Tanzanian scientists on a lark.
For this to be true, at some point there must be two identical containers at identical conditions (including, of course, at the same temperature), one of which has some property that is different from the other. At least for an instant, the samples are identical, but we are told they are different.
I doubt that occurs; I expect this is all explained by boundary conditions and actual differences in properties that elude excellent measurement. If I’m right, the larger the containers, the harder it is to detect any difference.
It does occur, but:
1. The samples need to start off the same mass.
2. The container needs to be insulating.
2) means that the cooling occurs primarily at the air/water interface.
1) means that when the hot sample has matched the temperature of the cold sample, it will have evaporated more so it requires less heat transfer to freeze than the cold sample.
I ran across something akin to this recently. I think it was about exhaust pressures in a rocket engine. In some designs, if you overpressurize the exhaust, the nozzle actually collapses inwards.
My mind is still nagging at me that it was a thermal thing I was thinking of, not a pressure thing. ?♂️

I put together my lesson plan for my constitution day lecture (to high school kids). Topic is “who does the bill of rights apply to?”.
First, I cover the philosophical underpinnings. Cicero, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Hobbes, and Locke. (Could’ve picked dozens of alternatives, but I wanted to hit on equality under the law, justice as a foundation of legitimate governance, innate human dignity and natural law, freedom of conscience, the state of nature, and natural rights, respectively)
Then I get into the Declaration, the BoR itself, and the Antifederalist papers, showing the intent of the founders to affirm universal truths.
Then I go through a set of SCOTUS cases where they fuck everything up by limiting the BoR from applying to certain people. Korematsu, Buck, Einstrager (German POW), and Frederick (“bong hits 4 Jesus” kid).
I think I’ll be giving these kids as much of a chance as possible to see that the country hasn’t quite lived up to the promise of the BoR.

I also run cooler – I’m generally around 97.6, and have only had a fever of over 100 two or three times in my life (strangely, the last time was this past February when I had a fever, body aches, and a cough, but was told by the “experts” that there was no way I had the COVID because I hadn’t travelled to China or Italy).
Wife is just the opposite. Her normal is around 99.5…
98.6 is also a round number (37 degrees) in Celsius, I don’t know the history at all but I’d guess that was a factor in its selection.

Thinks about it, makes sense, proceed.
I want to do the opposite and put a heating pad on the side of my face right before pulling through the gate at work.105.4??? Gah! Run away, run away!
We had that in our office a while. My manager walked in and was told he was dead based on the 33 C temperature reading
Who’s going to make the vampire joke?
Or a biting comment.
nice
I was just going to hang around and wait
If I was Pie, I would fly off the handle, but he just sucks it up.

That is a huge blow since the Southpoint Casino just finished a huge rodeo renovation for the NFR finals….fuck
Well….if this actually interested you*, there are
plentya few of us Metroplex glibs you can mingle with before/after getting your rodeo on.*I understand–just saying if it was something near and dear to your heart
Are you buying dinner?
Maybe. What’s your end?
Steaks, I would hope
Not Cool Tres, meat is murder.
The best damn fajitas on the planet. And, best guac, too.
Go on.
For that, I may make the drive.

The combo fajitas–::mwah!::
Considering the spousal unit’s pickiness over beef, these are THE BEST fajitas I’ve encountered anywhere. Even when something is off (i.e. over-cooked a smidge, smaller portion, fewer bell peppers), which is rare, they are still the best.
/I think the secret is the cut of beef..sirloin, maybe. Definitely NOT skirt
Just for reference–the fajita feast was the meal for the families meeting upon engagement. Her parents came from OK just to have them.
One secret for skirt steak is to use a Jaccard (https://www.jaccard.com/product/meat-maximizer-meat-tenderizer-45-knives-stainless-steel-columns/). Just go over the meat in one good pass for each side before marinating. It pretty much disconnects all the tough tissues but doesn’t leave any visible marks on the meat. It also helps the marinade get in deeper.
Dermatologists do something similar to people, microneedling. It makes you prettier.
A really long drive?
A really long drive?
I would think Las Vegas would be in open revolt over these restrictions.
It might not stay in Vegas, if that happened.
Can’t risk it.
“you guys are so juvenile”
And?
Nice job, CPRM.
First week of full homeschool has worked well. There is a huge opportunity here for those who don’t like the present way of schooling kids. We have a major shake up going on in education. While everyone is on zoom I think there are other ways.
First week of full homeschool has worked well. – what did you learn?
2 + 2 = 5
Duh!
One of us! One of us!
When I see all these teachers protesting about having to go back to work (while I’m scrambling trying to get my work back up and running, grr…) – and all the while I’m hearing about people with kids finding new ways to educate their kids – I’m wondering if there are going to be that many jobs for teachers once this pan(dem)ic is over. Of course I expect the schools will pretty much bring all the teachers back in at their old positions but after a semester or two, or after the end of the first full school year, I expect there will be some downsizing.
My liver is happier, but I didn’t sleep well. ?
The news looks…normal. Let’s try music links again.

Just gonna sneak in this one tweet link and off to work.
Any Night-jars about? Our Province is dealing with the gigantic undermining of the Economy by throwing a shit-load of shovels into the pit. Just keep digging, there’s soon to be rich vein of Chinese gold to be had!
What’s a “Night-jar”? Is that a Canadian thing?
*shrug* it’s a turn of phrase I’m unfamiliar with.
Lost my link-fu but look below.
look you don’t know if you don’t try
Color my cynical, but I suspect there are those in the greater Dayton, Ohio, area who are itching for an excuse to get in on that hot “peaceful protest” action (which so far – knock wood – has failed to materialize in this fair city.)
Yeah…I’m not seeing any issues there.
I have the feeling it would go about as well as it did up here in Cleveland. One “peaceful protest”, then people showing up armed to protect their businesses anytime there was a rally/protest scheduled within a couple of blocks.

DITE
Disney Is The Enemy? Do I win a prize? Never mind, I’ll just keep ignoring them.
It’s a kind of bird. AKA Nighthawk. Pretty common everywhere. I like to call them bird-bats because they feast on moths. I read Nightjar some time long ago and the term just got stuck in my mind. Trivia is one of my weaknesses.
You read the term? Or was it this book?
Predates that book by decades.
Nebraska’s state nickname was once the “Bugeater State” and its people were known as “bugeaters” (likely named after the Common nighthawk).[11][12][1] The Nebraska Cornhuskers college athletic teams were also briefly known the Bugeaters, before adopting their current name, which was also adopted by the state as a whole. A semi-professional soccer team in Nebraska now uses the Bugeaters moniker.
The (real) football team should have stuck with that moniker. “Bugeaters” is that kid that would do anything on a dare, therefore the name denotes courage, fortitude, insanity and just about every proclivity of a young hale and hearty boy! “Cornhuskers” are the women sitting around the kitchen table, gossiping.
‘AKA Nighthawk. Pretty common everywhere. I like to call them bird-bats because they feast on moths.’
Worst MCU character ever.
Frikken Nerd… Hey Buddy, stop doing that!
Would you believe I haven’t watched a MCU movie since the trainwreck that was X-Men: Days of Future’s Past?…Scratch that, I saw Guardians of the Galaxy…it was tolerable.
I own a TV but I almost never watch it. Glibs and links and Youtube are much more entertaining. Wifey watches a lot of TV. Did I mention that it pains me to sit for more than about a half an hour at a time just staring at the television? I blame the death of sports for my malady.
I’d watch a Guardians of the Galaxy/Deadpool/Kingsmen mash-up. (No idea which ones are MCU or DC or whatever.)
GotG – MCU; Deadpool – Fox, now owned by Disney and can be brought into the MCU; Kingsmen – Millarverse, movies made by Fox, rights for all new Millarverse video media owned by Netflix.
The most recent MCU movie I’ve seen was… Iron Man.
I did not like Iron Man 2. I did enjoy 3 though.
I got irritated to 3 due to the shared universe portion of it (and the kid’s garage having the equipment to fix the suit). At no point, with the president under attack, did anyone think to notify Shield or Captain America to help. It could have been dealt with in a couple of lines of dialog too.
Just to outgeek you, DoFP wasn’t MCU. The X-Men series were done by Fox, not Disney or Marvel. There’s rumors that with the Fox acquisition by Disney, the MCU will start retconning some characters into Mutants, and bring Wolverine in sooner rather then later.
Outgeeked Indeed.

Policy changed. We don’t do that anymore.
I’m supposed to have an ID? I just have this permit.
I was going to be disappointed if that link had been anything else.
Why are people no longer threading replies?
It’s cute that you think I do that intentionally.
I blame the touch pad on the lap-top. I often wear a cardigan sweater when I’m in the smoking room because the window is open for ventilation and the sleeve brushes against the pad when I’m “typing”.
For me, more often than not, I’m on my tablet and the comment area begins very close to the scroll/previous article arrows. Sometimes when trying to add quotes I hit the right arrow. If I hit stop soon enough I can still post before having to type out my comment again but it winds up posting as a stand alone comment.
I can mostly blame it on being tech illiterate and agedness. I’ll be that old creep in assisted living that keeps pinching the nurse’s bottoms and pretending that it was not Kosher. “Was that wrong? Should I have not done that?’
It’s the apocalypse. Good afternoon, Pie.
Howdy, Pie, GT, Festus, Sean, everyone else!
Morning
Hi, 5K!

I was disappointed you didnt comment on the Transylvania University thread.

It must have been hiding in your reflection.
Hiyoooo!
It was the afternoon links.
How on earth would I comment anything in the night links? I am sleeping
It must be Brooksie’s birthday!
Heh.
Where the fuck are my manners? Good job CP! Really enjoyed it!

(((Uber Prog))) is White when I decide she’s White! Fuck’s sake. It’s Oberlin! How many layers does the grievance onion contain? Never mind, it’s multitudes.
The funniest part is that both of their names are traditionally ((( ))). Wonder what style of glasses these two wear.
This doesn’t stop until enough white hetero females normies get screwed over.
I’ve seen THOSE movies advertised on some other sites.
