Overnight Open Thread
Roadkill Experiment
When you make a bag of popcorn, can you fish the bag out of the microwave when it’s done, open it, pour out the contents into a bowl without either using an oven mitt or repeating a staccato chorus of “Ow! Ow! Ow!” the whole time? Can you crumple up the bag a couple of seconds later without flinching, or do you have to blow into it and bounce it around in the air for half a minute before doing so? Here’s the truth. A bag of popcorn is hot, but when handled according to the directions it’s not hot enough to fry your fingers. And yes, you really can crumple up the empty bag immediately without injuring yourself. You can also survive having to take a cold shower if you have to, as well as walking a mile in 100 degree heat with a gas can or jump-starting your neighbor’s car on a cold winter morning. Only wimps can’t handle reasonable (read: not dangerous) deviations in temperature.Kitteh Video
In women, things are more complex, Savin-Williams said. Gay women show more pupil dilation to images of other women, similar to the pattern seen in straight men. But straight women dilate basically equally in response to erotic images of both sexes, despite reporting feelings of arousal for men and not women.Cockneys vs. Zombies The zombie chasin' the old guy in his walker had me rollin'.

Was the reasoning for the overly-complicated lander ever made known?
What happened to the bouncing-ball landers?
It's too big, too heavy, and too sensitive to shock. I'm hoping they pull this off...but so much has to happen at just the right time...I'm worried. It only has one parachute, for instance, and even though it likely has primary and secondary pyros to deploy it...if it doesn't deploy as planned, Curiosity turns itself into a radioactive smear on the Martian surface. Since live control is impossible, every action is canned...macros are triggered as certain timers expire, and other physical actions occur. It all works flawlessly...or one little, tiny thing goes wrong, and we make a new crater on the surface.
Look at what has to happen, and then try imagining writing the thousands of lines of code to make it possible. In the Nerd World, this is turning up the pucker factor up to Eleven.

The Kaiser is fantastic with a very rich taste but at 10.01% ABV it will knock you on your ass if not careful.

Then used ether to 'pop' the tire back on.

Yes, but...
Awesomeness increase for the Kong idea: 30-70% +- 15%

Not willing to score that as a win. Yes, it's poetry, it's arguably great, yes, yes. But the wuss factor still seems like a millstone around the neck of the song.

Was the reasoning for the overly-complicated lander ever made known?
What happened to the bouncing-ball landers?
It's big as in minivan sized and weighs > 1000 #s.
It's using the best tool for the job in 3 different speed regions.
It looks complicated because there are multiple steps but it's still just heat shield, parachute, rocket which is just one more than most of the other landings which were usually just 2 of those.
How is hitting the planet multiple times better than settling under rocket power once?

Like walking on coals. The trick is there is no trick. You just move and don't make contact with any one location long enough for conduction to do its thing. Don't know what those idiots at the Tony Robbins seminar did.
Another one we did on the carny was walking across broken glass. Again the trick is there is no trick. Like the bed of nails, no one piercing or cutting surface receives enough weight to do damage.
I'm pretty sure I'm a wimp but the only thing on the list I wasn't confident about was the tire changing. It isn't the getting dirty. I'll trade dirty for not being stuck somewhere. I can stop off somewhere and buy a change of clothes cheaply if I have a usable car. My issue is a lack of competence. I don't think I'd do it right and have never had a situation where I was put to the test.
The last time I had a tire go bad was a real blowout. At first I feared I was going to regain control before crashing into another car or rolling it. It was completely dark out and there was no way I was going to attempt it under those conditions with no experience to draw upon.
Odd thing about that incident: the bit of debris that did the damage was about 50 miles back of where the blowout happened, right before the Paso Robles exit of the northbound 5. By remarkable or suspicious coincidence there was a tire place that stays open 24/7 right across the freeway, less than a mile away once I had the doughnut mounted by the tow rig guy.
How convenient. I wasn't sure if I should feel rescued or scammed.

Nope, totally serious. Although the "dollar" blades are the ones that you get 12 to a plastic bag at Walgreens. I spend about $9/month incl. shipping to get 4 blades of the good stuff.

Swerving means you lose some of your traction on two side tires, but unless you're really, really top-heavy (like a Suzuki Samurai), the other two tires should more than compensate. Oh, and make sure you don't swerve into another car.

Watch the trailer again. There is a whole subplot about getting to the location where the illicit arsenal is kept by smugglers or some other nogoodnik types.
You see this subplot a zillion times if you get into Hong Kong action movies. The criminal gang, who the hero either betrays or is an infiltrator, obtains weapons and ammo, then goes on their crime spree.
The John Woo / Chow Yun Fat had its climax in a hospital where the bad guys had created a secret base in the sub-basement with a massive weapons cache. Massive cops vs. Triad mayhem ensues while patients and staff flee.

essentially boils down to "it's really hard, bet you couldn't do that."
But the same goes for particle acceleration. Don't make it a sport.
Posted by: sobek at August 04, 2012 11:50 PM (XxAYS)
It's really physically demanding, moreso than you would think just watching it. Add the heat and noise and over several hours fatigue is a real danger. Tony Stewart looks like a fat bastard, but he is in pretty darn good shape (for the shape he's in).
One of the most fun forms of racing out there these days is 24 hours of LeMons or Chump Car, the drivers go for 4 hours a stretch and when they get out of the car they are done for a long while. And this is strictly amateur racing, but amateur racing at its absolute finest.

The V6's you get nowadays pack a lot more power than the 5.0's used to have. The Duratec puts out 305, which the V8's didn't put out until 8 years ago in the trucks or the Mustangs

Yep, the new V-6 is only 10 HP less than the GT's were putting out in 2010 before the new 5.0 came out. Pretty potent, and actually handles better because it has better front/rear balance.

This is a sad state of affairs in our fine nation. A couple of years ago the kid across the street got a new car for his birthday, and it was a stick. One saturday afternoon he comes over to ask me for lessons on driving a stick. Sweet little car, too bad he got busted for racing it up and down the street drunk a few months ago.
Back in my day, I could drive the stick while drinking a beer or dipping Copenhagen while operating the cassette deck. That was skill.

What is the "good stuff"?I get savaged every morning.Is there a better way?
No clue about the dollar shave club thing, but from where I sit, the vibrating blade is what makes all the difference. I think what I use is called "Mach 3 Power". It's a generation or so behind the most modern stuff, but for my shaving needs, the vibrating blade is what makes it all work. You wouldn't think that vibrating the blade would matter so much, but, for me, it is practically the whole game. And yes, my toothbrush vibrates too.

There is a cake decorating place that declined to do a cake for a gay
wedding here. The couple were all butthurt and put it on FB etc.
Perfectly within their rights to boycott. Then it morphed into a
protest. I must say I don't get that. Heck if you are so insecure about
your decision that you don't just shrug off the cake guy and go to the
next business maybe you should rethink making the commitment but if you
want to post on FB and hope to get a boycott effect more power to you
but it seems not only whiny, but wrong to arrange a protest to try to
intimidate customers that don't voluntarily boycott with you.

Says who? He was a loser piece of shit who had failed his friggin orals and had gotten cash from the feds supporting his loser existence. He was a black eye to academic establishment. He was no "genius". He wasn't even smart. But he managed to wrangle a BS stipend from the feds (not the university, which tells you something to start) in order to carry on his loser academic half-career. SO he blows his orals (which NO ONE does) and goes ape-shit. Funny how they all skipped over that little tidbit for the first how many days. "He just left his program for no reason ..." NOT.
Further, the university had a committee already set up to handle "threats from students". WTFFF?
The whole situation is one of academia and the feds fucking up everything they possibly could with a guy who likely shouldn't have even been accepted in grad school, let alone given some BS fellowship from people who knew nothing about him. That's when interest in the loser seemed to wane.
And I don't think there's any doubt he's a lefty. A serious lefty, I'm sure.

The 57 283 with fuel injection was the second Detroit V8 to reach 1 hp for every cubic inch. The first was the 354 that Chrysler put into the 1956 300B
Chrysler should have stuck to being an engine manufacturer. They made great powerplants but everything else they made was really third rate

Did you miss the part about the psychiatrist he'd been seeing who thought he might be in the early stages of schizophrenia?
It's quite normal for someone to go from capable to complete disarray when the symptoms kick in. He may have had the goods when he got the stipend and lost it by the time came for orals.
The timing is a factor that can cause confusion and misdiagnosis. Look at the autism vaccination scare. Autism typically becomes apparent in children around the same age as the major vaccinations are administered. It was a natural line of reasoning to wonder whether there was a connection but very irresponsible to publish results based on flawed or falsified research to create a panic out of a growing myth.
College is the common age for schizophrenia symptoms to come on. But since college can be very stressful it can result in someone who is simply overwhelmed to be examined for schizophrenia or a schizophrenic to be dismissed as simply stressed out.
Usually it's just a personal tragedy for the patient and family. But once in a while...

I am not saying that the first outing was entirely a success; a competent remake would be nice. But at least Verhoeven / Ahnuld / Sharon Stone was fun to watch - and at least their effort understood Philip Dick's choice of venue. The point of Philip Dick is to make you unsure about whether it's all real. The point of Mars was to bring to mind a place that looked like New Mexico but was not New Mexico; more to the point, to hint at Edgar Burroughs.
Mars is a way for a science-fiction character to see something he, himself, would suspect as science-fiction. This same theme runs through Allen Steele's shortstory, "the Emperor of Mars" (I read this in last year's Dozois collection).
Basically, it takes more than an extra boob to make me want to watch, sorry.

Yeah ... I read some of the details. Of course, we aren't privy to much, but I don't put much stock in psychiatrists assessments. I also view any school that has a committee to guard against its own students to be ... weird. When I was in grad school we all knew of students who had gone nuts. At another university in the area a kid had lost it and shot a few faculty and students some time before - the claim was that his advisor was a known dick who kept rejecting his theses as being incomplete, so the kid finally shot him and a bunch of others. But we didn't have any committee to protect against nut cases, though we had more than our share around.
From what little I heard about the Holmes douche, he was a loser who had no business in grad school. It would be nice to know why he couldn't get a job but could get a boatload of federal money for grad school, for a friggin neuroscience program. I'd wager that he had nothing to warrant that.
Even nutcases can pass their orals, anyway. Just being a schizo is no reason to fail that. No, I think he was just a loser idiot who wanted to go out in a blaze of gore. And I think the media lost interest when it became clear that this miserable piece of shit was the product of federal idiocy and university stupidity and waste.

Fly away, flap your wings
Fly by night
Like the early Roman kings
The peddlers and the peddlers (?)
They buy and they sell
They destroyed your city
They'll destroy you as well
The lecherous and treacherous
Hell bent for leather
Each of them bigger
Than all them put together
Sluggers and muggers
Wearing fancy gold rings
All the women goin' crazy
For the early Roman kings

I merely view that school committee as a sign of the times. If you had told me when I was in high school that colleges would someday have detailed rules for one student to request intimate contact with another, I'd have thought some insane scenario from a satirical SF novel. But by the 90s it was all there.
I don't think the guy was ever a great genius but he certainly demonstrated ability in his earlier years. It's one thing to flame out after setting your academic goals too high but another to fall apart like this, yet maintain the level of functionality and compulsiveness to plan and carry out this crime.
There are some indications he ended the attack sooner than intended because his overly elaborate plans didn't go off exactly and made no attempt to escape. This sounds an awful lot like some of the descriptions I've read of psych patients who constantly approach life as a Rube Goldberg device and stopped dead in their tracks every time something inevitably goes wrong.
There may have been a lot of luck in his managing to get as far as he did, committing major mayhem, instead of getting derailed or attracting the wrong kind of attention before he could carry out his plan. And all the while he assumed it was all due to his meticulous work rather than just barely cruising under the radar.
It will be interesting to see if the trial leads to some brain scans being ordered and entered into evidence. The question isn't whether he's crazy but what kind of crazy. One gets you executed, the other institutionalized for life.

Actually, there are some folks in my neighborhood around the corner who collect miniature cars -- I think they have one of these (not tricked-out with the Obama coloring and trim). On wash day, they'll have six little vehicles parked on one side of their driveway in the same footprint as a Ford F350 would have.

He was attached closely enough to reality to clam up the minute he was placed under arrest. That should be proof enough that he's competent to stand trial and sit for execution. I wouldn't even entertain any crap with brain scans or psychiatric assessments after the fact. Psychiatrists don't have great track records, themselves.
And, sadly, nothing gets anyone "institutionalization for life". It used to be that one was institutionalized until they were fit to sit for trial and then they would have to go through it, but we've done away with that because we're idiots. People can only be institutionalized until some idiot psychiatrist claims they're "cured" or no longer a threat.

He didn't clam up. How do you think the cops learned about the booby trapped apartment? He told them about it. That was the first part of his plan to fail, the attempt to draw police and others to the other end of town. This could have been merely more mayhem for mayhem's sake but it seems likely it was meant to help facilitate his escape.
If so, I wonder if he had plans for changing, covering, or removing his hair. The bright color he dyed it would serve to distract from his face and other details, giving him more time to move before the cops connected the theater attack to the booby trapped apartment and obtained his DL photo. Another step in the Rube Goldberg plan.
There are a lot of details to be revealed still. But I greatly doubt he will ever be outside a prison or psych hospital without being inside a body bag. Forty years from now, if he isn't executed, some doctor may try to claim he's cured but there will be plenty of living relatives of the dead and injured who will raise hell, as well as people with no connection but offended at the idea of him going free.

If he goes to prison, he will be dead within 3 years. The other prisoners hate little shits like this, and in the prison code, killing a mass murderer like this kid will get you all kinds of cred. Plus a bunch of smokes.

I wish every black person could see it. It shows how they have been enslaved by the government, especially by the Democrat Party. (That's a bit too simplified. It's more complicated than that.)
Every white person should see it, too. It's a refreshing antidote to the constant negative portrayal of blacks that we see every day. The movie is chock full of smart, strong, wise, intelligent black people who fucking GET IT.
Thomas Sowell and Alfonzo Rachel are among the blacks who appear, plus tons more whose names I don't recognize. Andrew Breitbart and Bill Whittle also show up.
