Overnight Open Thread (4-2-2012)
Okay this is supposed to be a snarky criticism of the American military but perhaps unintentionally it also captures a key feature behind the success of the US military and the country at large: We're quite comfortable with a certain level of chaos.
Now that may not seem like much of an advantage until you realize just how poorly most other nations and cultures do handle it. Many places in the world are far better organized than we are - both government-wise and business-wise and even culturally. So in times of stability they will tend to do quite well since they're able to focus lots of national resources with far less inefficiency than the US does e.g. pretty much all the things which give Thomas Friedman a mental erection.
Which is great. Until times aren't so stable. Then their organization and efficiency turns out to be quite brittle - when there's no official in charge and hence no 'official' way to keep the system running people will tend to just stop and wait for someone(else) to come handle it. You get paralysis instead of initiative.But one of the hidden strengths in America is that while we tend to chafe at authority - especially the more centralized and organized it is - we are also very good at self-organizing. Throw a bunch of Americans together along with a challenging task and pretty quickly they'll come up with plan(s) and someone (or someones) will step up to take charge. It won't be pretty and it won't be very organized and it may not be the 'best' solution and it'll sure *look* like chaos, but it is likely to get done and work.
And because this kind of organization is organic it's also more robust - if the task changes or people come and go, the group can adapt and improvise on the fly. After all this isn't all that different from how most Americans operate in their daily lives at work. So we'll never win awards for our national organization or have the trophy projects to show off like some countries, but when chaos does come we're able to deal with it, adapt, and even thrive on it. For us chaos = opportunity. Which is good because I suspect there's going to be a good deal of chaos coming down the road.
Fox Sports' Tim McCarver: Global Warming is Causing More Home Runs in MLB
It's not newer parks, steroids, better training, or changes in the balls - nope it's demons global warmening:
On Fox Sports' coverage of Saturday's Milwaukee Brewers-St. Louis Cardinals baseball game analyst Tim McCarver theorized about why home runs seems to be flying out of ball parks. He thinks it's global warming/climate change:Tim McCarver: "[T]he air is thinning.. There have been climatic changes over the last 50 years.. I think that's one of the reasons balls are carrying much better now."
Joe Buck [Fox Sports play-by-play announcer]: "So that's your 'inconvenient truth' about it?"
McCarver: "You're going to find it out one of these days, yes."
Yep the air is getting thinner. So in that case...wouldn't more CO2 (or anything else) be a good thing?
Why India's Caste System Persists
My American friends frequently ask me why India's caste system, a pre-feudalistic division of labor that assigns one's line of work at birth, has persisted into the 21st century in defiance of every civilized notion of justice and equality. I thought I knew the answer: The need of the privileged upper castes for cheap labor to do their dirty work. But there is an even more tragic explanation that I discovered during a recent visit to New Delhi while talking to Maya, the dalit or untouchable-the lowest of the four castes-who has serviced my family for 35 years. Maya herself clings to her caste because it offers her the best possible life, even in modern India.
Read the article to see how the caste system offers those at the bottom a certain minimal standard of living even if it also limits them from ever escaping it. And in India even something low down is better than nothing.
The 5 Creepiest Disappearances That Nobody Can Explain
For 20 years, Ray Gricar was the district attorney of Centre County, Pennsylvania. He was a solid man with a tough reputation. On April 15, 2005, Gricar phoned his girlfriend and told her he was driving in the countryside and would be back soon.
He never returned.
Investigators found that at the time of his disappearance in 2005, Gricar was working on what would be known as the Penn State sex abuse scandal, which may or may not end up revealing an assistant football coach as a horrible dickbag who deserves all the prison. You know, that scandal that just broke last year. Gricar was working on it six years earlier.Then he vanished.
Furthermore, investigators found out Gricar had in 1998 mysteriously refused to press charges against the coach despite having more than enough evidence. In 2005, same thing. It was almost like he was stacking evidence for the mother of all judicial beatdowns.
Welcome To The NFL - Here's Your New Life
An open letter to future top NFL draft picks Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III from former NFL player Nate Jackson:
After negotiating your contracts, you both will surely buy a house in an affluent suburb where no 22-year-old would be happy living. Your new neighbors will be rich as well, facelifted, lipo-sucked, Xanaxed and dripping in diamonds, simply delighted to welcome you to the neighborhood. You will commission an interior decorator, recommended by a neighbor, to furnish your home. This will guarantee it feels nothing like Home. And someday, when all of this is over, you'll walk through and gaze upon the marble columns and the embroidered drapes like artifacts in a museum, wondering why you ever listened to that woman.
Because if a female guard sees it, then you'll be listed as a sex offender:
(Hartford, Connecticut) At the Northern Correctional Institution, masturbating male inmates have been regularly observed by female workers.According to Lisamarie Fontano, president of the prison workers union, over 500 official masturbation reports were recorded last year.
As a result, lawmakers have introduced legislation to seemingly criminalize acts of masturbation committed while incarcerated. It's reported that those prison inmates caught whipping the frosting will be required to register as sex offenders upon release from prison.
It's not clear how the scheme will work but it is conceivable that the offending inmate would simply have his file tagged for a post-release administrative adjustment.
And the neck massager really hits the spot.
Or something.

If you could somehow succeed in stamping out all change in one country, there will still be disruption coming from abroad. And if you could get stasis-minded technocratic "elites" in charge everywhere, there are still unpredictable random events and discoveries which can't be suppressed.
And if even THAT could be controlled . . . then you're creating a perpetual living death for humanity.

CO2 is denser then the more common compounds in the air - O2 and N2.
So...if the marginal increase in air density cause by increased CO2 emissions has any measurable effect at all it would reduce the speed of pitches and the number of home runs.
I'd chalk it up to better training regimes and probably harder to trace steroids.

IIRC, a lot it has to do with changes in hitting technique over the past ten years. Slight changes have helped to increase the number of home runs by creating more efficient swings. Steroids may not actually provide much of an enhancement at all.

Government is 'NP-Hard' in programming-speak.
Really groking that makes a hell of a lot of sense out of pretty much most of history.
Take the Traveling Salesman problem. It gets pretty damn hairy if you're trying to (top-down) solve it for 330,000,000 people.
But... If you're willing to fundamentally view the problem as 330,000,000 individual salesmen each with a sliver of the same mission, you'll get something functional in no time flat.

Equal Opportunity. I worked with an NCO who was a guard at a female prison in his civilian life. He said it wasn't uncommon to look into a cell and see some woman masturbating directly in his face. He shrugged it off and continued his rounds. Apparently these women are too sensitive to do that.

Yeah this in no way seems like a negative to me. Andit seems like something others understand even if they don't realize it. Video games and some sci-fi novels seem to recognize it.
Often times in sci-fi games the humans in the game tend to represent Americans and you get lines like "Put 3 humans into a room and you will wind up with 6 opinions"
Or you get a novel that talks about telling people to do something a certain way and they will do it, or you can give them a task to accomplish and they will come up with a method that wasn't even considered before.

Sargent was a prolific game designer for TSR / D-ampersand-D's second edition, and (IMO) the best designer they had until the WotC buyout. Night Below: amazing. Iuz the Evil: classic. Toward the end he'd just about finished a piece on the Great Kingdom in the Greyhawk setting and -
- poof -
There's been talk that he got into some sort of "accident" but there was only ever one source for that, and that source clammed up afterward.
Interestingly before he became a D-amp-D designer he was a parapsychologist - like in Ghostbusters. There were a few experiments he got into in the 1970s, which I assume were bunk, but which many people seem to agree were harder to debunk than most other 1970s experiments of that sort.
Maybe the MIB got him.

Hi, Morons. I read an article last night about a 14 year old girl who is sueing her classmates for online bullying. Basically, they made a fake Facebook page of her.
I lol'd at the bullies:
"She didn’t know why she was being badgered until she discovered the phony Facebook page. It was her name and information, though her profile picture was doctored to make her face appear bloated.The page suggested Alex smoked marijuana and spoke a made-up language called “Retardish.”"

I used to think it was just okay until I heard the critique in the movie Barcelona and realized that Hoffman was actually the villain in the movie:
Fred: You think wedding vows are going to change everything? God, your naivete is astounding! Didn't you see "The Graduate"?
Ted: You can remember "The Graduate"?
Fred: Yeah, I can remember a few things. Apparently you don't. The end? Katharine Ross has just married this really cool guy - tall, blond, incredibly popular, the make-out king of his fraternity in Berkeley - when this obnoxious Dustin Hoffman character shows up at the back of the church, acting like a total a**hole. "Elaine! Elaine!" Does Katharine Ross tell Dustin Hoffman, "Get lost, creep. I'm a married woman"? No. She runs off with him - on a bus. That is the reality.

PFC Martin, also of
the 325th Glider Infantry Regiment, who during the battle asked a retreating
tank destroyer commander, "Are you looking for a safe place?" When the tank
commander answered yes, PFC Martin replied, "Well buddy just pull that
vehicle behind me -- I am the 82d Airborne and this is as far as the
bastards are going."
And they did. One of the units that coalesced around that ad-hoc road block at Vielsam was commanded by Lt. Bill Rogers aka William Rogers Jr. (Will Rogers Jr.). Through out the night men from the busted line stopped and joined the forces there. Soon they had a road block the German's couldn't break. One guy saying "I've had ENOUGH of this shit and I'm done with it."
And _that_ 'ron and ronette's are why American soldiers are the toughest bastards on the planet. It's why the rest of the sissy world doesn't play _real_ football. It's why the Left has taken dodge ball out of school.

And that was after he porked her mother. Once you bed the mother, the daughter should really be off limits. I found that part of the movie insane.
Dustin Hoffman was also far too ugly for the part. It was an abuse of the audience to make him the love interest of one hot woman and her scorching daughter.

Couldn't hear anything. Also, it seemed to move more slowly than you might expect from a helicopter (based on my experience in SoCal where our neighborhood had police helicopters scanning the area on occasion).
I guess ultralight makes the most sense and the light dimming was just a gradual change in direction.

The hell of it is that I love the little tiny job I'm doing now, coordinating religious ed at a smallish parish and teaching kids all things Catholic. It lets me be done working when the boy is done with his school day, and it gives me lots of self-direction, and plenty of people to supervise. I can indulge my egghead side studying and teaching, creating lessons for every age and making sure the little ones get first communion and the older ones figure out how to get confirmed without offending the Bishop.
There's just no money in it.

If I understand any of it, it's that she's kinda cute and funny when caught in unguarded moments. THAT'S when I find her sexy; not when she's doing some sort of "look-at-how-sexy-I-am" thing.
I always thought the same thing about Jessica Simpson. Sure, she gets a lot of shit for being a bubble-head but I'm sorry, bubble heads don't create a business around their image worth $100,000,000.

He likes people giving up money because of him. It's self-validation. He relentlessly campaigns not only because it's the only thing he knows how to do, but because it gives him what his psychology craves -- masses of people bending towards him, cheering, kowtowing, thrilled to death with His presence. It's not "begging" to him, it's exacting tribute.

Then they'll go on that for a while, and maybe someone else will pull a John Lovitz and question why they're doing that. Then the story will briefly be about the press, as usual, before completely vanishing. And nothing will have been learned.

The American ethos of officer training is to tell young officers to "Do Something." Facedwith any situation, with or without orders, with or without resources, Do Something. If a US Army lieutenant is found by his boss, the worst thing he can be doing is Nothing. It is this "Do Something" ethos, combined with an ethos that values Winning above anything else (like following the rules), that makes our military what it is.
I've been reading the quotes about chaos in the US Army for decades. They ring true. For us, winning is more important than following the rules or demonstrating fidelity to the doctrine we slept through. It doesn't matter what you went through to win - you just have to win. I've seen situations where the Division planning group was busily going through their planning process when the Assistant Division Commander walked in to the TOC, looked at the map, and said, "Do this." The ADC's orders won the battle. The planning staff came out of thier meeting a few hours later, looked at the map, and said, "What happened? He can't do that without us!"
I spent a year training the Iraqi army. Their ethos is "Follow Orders." Iraqi officers do what they are told to do. If they are told that they will conduct a training march in a certain order, with first battalion going first and second battalion going second, they will do that. If first battalion is walking like crippledelderly people, second battalion will wait for them. In a US military unit, on the same march, second battalion will run past first battalion. Second battalion will then lord it over first battalion until the next training march, when first battalionwill havethe chance to regain their manhood by marching faster.
That is why we crushed them in a few hours. Twice.

I appreciate Maet's defending us from that absolutely hilarious demotivational, but he's a little off. I'll offer 2 short points:
1. Don't confuse chaos with flexibility. Our Armed Forces absolutely have doctrine, strategy, and tactics down better than anyone on the planet- but it's not a "suicide pact". The greenest butter bar understands regulations aremore like guidelines than laws. I busted regs hundreds of time, and always received praise and top ratings for thinking outside the box. If you focus on the intent rather than the mechanics, you get a better result. There are a few dicks out there, but this was my near universal experience.
2. NCOs rule. An American sergeant has more authority and ability to shape a battle than other countries' colonels. If there are only 2 soldiers, 1 is in charge. Leadership is stressed at all levels. I'd say we have a deep bench when it comes to leadership, except there is no bench- everyone is a leader.
OK. I'll jump off my soapbox now.

A recent Academy class got a little heat for choosing Gen Robin Olds as their 'exemplar'. It's a relatively new 'tradition' to choose a historic AF figure who had leadership qualities that you hope your class will emulate.
Robin Olds was a profane, rule breaking son of a bitch. But he was probably the best fighter pilot in USAF history. I've met Chuck Yeager and Steve Ritchie over the course of my career, but Gen Olds was the BALLS.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Olds
The problem with Yeager and Ritchie is that they were phenomenal fighter pilots that weren't successful combat leaders. Olds rocked it at every level.
BTW, he grew out the 'stache as a big FU to the brass back at the Pentagon. At the time, he was bullet-proof. F-4 wing commander in Vietnam. Double ace, what the hell are the going to do to him and, BTW, when the last time you perfumed princes saw combat?
In a lot of ways he is the USAF's version of Gen Patton.

I also told her that I find it funny that non-believers are always telling Christians that we are mindless 'bots for believing the Bible (esp. regarding Creationism) yet the second we show discernment they bitch at us that we're "judging" them.

The notion is to be able to observe what is going on, make an assessment and react while the enemy is still somewhere earlier in that cycle.
In the case where the enemy is relying on a specific response to a specific action relying on your doctrine and training to be HIS guide to your response, this can be fatal to the enemy if you do not react as expected. In the case of US forces, we have had for a long time a notion of adapting to situations as they unfold and most doctrine is only a guide to maybe an initial response and after that the notion is to take it as it comes and dish it out in return but to do it faster than the enemy can react to it.
Additional concepts are to overload the enemy's input with conflicting information by adding what appears to be chaos to the system forcing attention to be focused on many things in order to ascertain which things are actually the threat. As you gum up their observation and decision cycle it begins slow down.
Interesting stuff but the crux is to react FAST and in unexpected ways.

I agree. Progressivism is rooted in Communism. Wilson admired Lenin and the 1917 revolution in Russia yet this fuck is treated with reverence by public schools.
The USA survived having assholes like Wison and FDR in the White House, it really didn't benefit from them.

In California, it was actually legal to purchase alcohol the day before the day in which you turned 21, to try to avoid shutting down liquor stores for pre-midnight purchases. Of course, good luck in actually doing that.

My dad was a '64 grad of USAFA ( I was '8
.He spent a lot of time in Nam flying the F-100. A few of the guys from his squadron stayed in and made general. One asshat even made to CSAF (Gen McPeak).
This was totally a time/generational thing, but it does seem that that most of the assholes stayed in back then.
Now, i don't know. I have seen a lot more willingness to fire commanders in theater than I ever thought would happen. If you fuck up in the AOR, you're done.
I've received a bit of shit for not doing Air War College, but why on earth would I want to be an O-6 in this environment? I like flying airplanes and I like where I live. Both of those would go away if I got promoted. No thanks.

Don't let their bullshit stop you. It is all about ownership of the time of your own life. If they didn't own it, they couldn't sell it. A job is always different than theft.
If one of those assholes doesn't like his job he can always quit. But, see how they react if you want to quit paying their welfare -- whether it's blue collar, downtrodden, bureaucratic, white collar, corporate, or otherwise. Welfare creeps expect to be able to own all of their time and some of yours -- and the white collar welfare creeps are usually richer than the rest of us.

I know. Hope I didn't frustrate you.
One of the reasons I am asking people to call these assholes "slavers" (or Bers' contribution if you can remember the whole thing) is something I have concluded about most of the leftists for whom I still have hope -- they have serious inferiority/superiority issues. (ponder: why so many leftist PhDs--compensating for feelings of inferiority? countless other examples as well-- why all the superior act around Christians? Why the bullshit moral superiority about how much they care? etc, etc.)
They are malleable and subject to shame. It is time to use it, because if we don't it will only be a matter of time before we have to fight to remain free.

Okay, this is bizarre.
How so? After a big slice of chocolate cake, I can be semi-conscious for awhile ...

I can't -- I'm rigging the house for low temperatures and sounding the "dive" klaxon. Soon it'll be "run silent, run deep".

After we remodeled the kitchen, a very noticeable feature has been the twin active skylights. Whenever you close them, it's like you're in a 1960's sub flick -- they whir closed, then go "chunk" when they seal up. If you close your eyes, you can hear the "a-oo-ga! a-oo-ga! Prepare to dive; prepare to dive; diving planes, -10 degrees!"

We would never dream of allowing pitchers to bring their own baseballs to the park, yet we allow hitters to not only bring their own bats, but also assorted bats engineered for different situations.
We already found that out one of these days, yes.
Like Gibson told you, "The only thing you know about pitching is that you can't hit it."
