So the world is freaked out we are gathering information willy-nilly. Then they want to know why we don’t know where every airplane is at any given moment. Wouldn’t the latter require a bit of the former?

Good morning Hamsters. Happy First Day of Spring, at least according to the calendar. High overcast and 57 out here on the moors at Richmond. All our redbuds are finally blooming but slow to produce leaves. Pecans are still holding on tight to their buds, and the red oaks that jumped the gun a while back are cautious about leafing out now. However, an empty lot has many Indian paintbrush adorning it, and all over this area the wild onions are going wild. Break a stem or two and the immediate world knows about it.

Much too rational a thought there. 🙂 -
Ticker Dude rides again………………….
We are stupid.
We are going to get left behind.
The LFTR has the potential to unlock unlimited liquid hydrocarbon production and by doing so it places a hard ceiling on the price of oil predicated on the cost of the energy it produces that is used to drive this process.
We are fools folks. Utter and complete fools.We are fools if we do not take the lead on this; the winner not only gets electricity but a permanent source of liquid hydrocarbons that cannot run out, with the only determinant on whether you use it being price.
When and if that happens it changes the balance of economic power on a permanent basis.
We had best not get left behind on this account. -

Maybe I’m missing something but I don’t understand the leap from thorium nuclear reactors to “permanent source of liquid hydrocarbons that cannot run out”. -
#8 – I’m just reading Hammy – it appears that a by product of a Thorium reactor could be fuel
The Chinese appear to be opting for a molten salt reactor – or a liquid fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR) — a notion first proposed by the US nuclear doyen Alvin Weinberg and arguably best adapted for thorium.
This in entirely different from thorium efforts in the West that rely on light water technology used in uranium reactors. The LFTR has its own problems, not least corrosion caused by the fluoride.
Yes, it has engineering issues. But so do all forms of energy production.
However — the higher-temperature operation of the unit along with its atmospheric-pressure operation both offer a better safety profile and the ability to use process heat to drive a Fischer-Tropsch process — a known, proved means of turning carbon monoxide and hydrogen into liquid hydrocarbons — that is, synthetic oil products (such as diesel fuel.)
The sources for carbon and hydrogen are simply a matter of cost. The obvious one is coal for the carbon source, but you don’t have to use coal. -
Happy Vernal Equinox, Hamsterville!
-
We are speaking of a high temperature reactor to produce lots of electricity, right? It appears that one of the subjects is how to make use of the excess heat. I think the Fischer-Tropsch process was developed in Nazi Germany.
The excess heat could be used to boil then distill water for further splitting via electrolysis to make Hydrogen and Oxygen. -
On further reflection, I see that the dog’s t-shirt is photoshopped onto him. It’s a cute pic, though.

#10 M42: That explains everything. I was feeling kind of neutral today, neither hot nor cold, neither light nor dark. Everything was just kind of the same neither positive nor negative.

Paul said Feinstein’s allegations had shaken Washington. “I look into the eyes of senators and I think I see real fear,” he said. “I think I perceive fear of an intelligence community drunk with power, unrepentant and uninclined to relinquish power.”
The only reason they are scared is it’s them being spied on now and not just us. If congress-critters weren’t being spied on themselves they wouldn’t care one whit what the NSA is doing. This is Rand Paul getting cheap applause and nothing more.
-
To be fair, Rand Paul has been sounding the alarm about constitutional abuses by the intelligence community long before they found out about congress being spied upon. Feinstien, on the other hand….

From Shannon’s #7 – nice summary
“All of this is a roundabout way of saying that for consensus liberals the secular state (along with the university) is their church. They bitterly resent the inexplicable refusal of American voters to give them full control over elected office. This frustration reinforces their determined refusal to allow their sacred sanctuaries (university faculty, the public schools, the courts, government bureaucracies) to be defiled. Put in Kuyper’s terms, they cannot distinguish between common grace and special grace. As liberal theorists from Locke through Rousseau and Rawls make explicit, liberals see themselves as achieving, for the first time in human history, the natural, universal outlook that everyone would acknowledge if they had but eyes to see. For this reason, liberal commitments always end up asserted as mandatory and universal. Which is why we’re not going to get principled pluralism until we get rid of consensus liberalism. Which isn’t going to happen any time soon.” -

Yabbut Finklestein did not sound the alarm till they urinated in her wheedies. There is no condemnation coming out of her mouth about all the other stuff/people being spied on. Only her little conclave is she concerned about. -
“I examined it and said, ‘You have an Imperial Faberge Easter Egg.’ And he practically fainted. He literally fell to the floor in astonishment,” he said.
The egg, created by Carl Faberge for Tsar Alexander III in 1887, was purchased by Wartski on behalf of a Faberge collector.
McCarthy said the scrap dealer is “petrified” of his newfound wealth becoming public knowledge.
“He’s from another world entirely. It’s a world of diners and pick-up trucks, real blue-collar America, and he and his partner are still stunned by all this,” he said. “When I saw them in January, they hadn’t moved out but they were going to, although I think it was just to a bigger house around the corner. They’ve also bought a new car.”He sounds like a well-grounded guy. Hope he stays that way.

I think the question is seeing as how you NSA T-Nozzles are gathering all this info “just to keep us safe”, how about putting all that info you are gathering to some real good use and tell us more about where the airliner went? Another question is: Seeing as how yuse guyz were gathering all that info AND THE ROOSKIES EXPLICITLY TOLD Y’ALL NOT ONCE BUT TWICE ABOUT THE TSARNAEV BROS, why the wiss didn’t you do something about it before the fargin bombs went off?

Plenty of show. No go.

To be fair to Rand Paul, our entire way of life is eat up with lies. It ain’t just him with the faux outrage.

It seems Boris Alatovkrap feels the same way:
Load of steaming bovine excrement as member of political and corporate class is mix bodily fluid in orgy and then both is feign anger at betrayal of citizenry.

I would rather pay $5 to chew on an old lady’s chin mole than eat this ever again. Just kneeling on the sidewalk outside and licking it will give you the same experience as eating there. Well, ok, to be fair, the sidewalk will probably make you less sick.

Wouldn’t the latter require a bit of the former?If they had concentrated more on knowing where every airplane was (a simple hardware issue—replacing transponders with a switch that can be turned off in the cockpit with one that can be switched remotely) than listening to every phone call and reading every email then we wouldn’t have this particular conundrum.
-
The whole NSA data theft thing, makes perfect sense when one considers it in this context:
The LTNs consider the govt as their g-d and the D party is the only religion by which one may worship that g-d. So for the Ds to use the vast resources of the USA to further the D party it simply is an act of worship. Everything the Ds do is an attempt to gain political power, real results, destruction of the country, destruction they wreak on those whom they supposedly want to help, and the outrageous costs involved simply do not matter.
That would explain why crimes aren’t being thwarted and the privacy among other rights of Rs are routinely violated. -
This may actually win the innanet for the most outrageous BS evah!

Irregularities in voting machines? SHOCKER!
In Hidalgo County, The McAllen Monitor reports that at least twelve candidates from the March 4th Democrat Primary to the County Commissioners’ Court have requested the County launch a forensic audit of the voting machines used in the election. In one of the letters obtained by Breitbart Texas dated March 12th, it was alleged, “…that numerous inconsistencies and discrepancies have appeared in our analysis of each candidate’s races. We therefore ask that a forensic expert inspect each voting machine to ensure that they have not malfunctioned or been subjected to fraud or tampering.”
/snip
“Individual voters have indicated that in casting their vote using Hidalgo County’s voting machines, their vote for a particular candidate was changed by the voting machine; this happened repeatedly throughout the county,” Golando stated in the letter.
“Others have complained that the total votes reported by the machines exceeded the total of voters that actually voted.” Golando continued.And the kicker?
Golando claims there are allegations that the County was negligent in allowing an employee with intimate knowledge of how the machines work may have had access to these voting machines while they were also working for political campaigns. Golando’s letter claims, “This employee had access to the county’s information technology department inclusive of information and resources. Also, we have evidence that this particular employee admitted to manipulating the 2006 election results. A county employee with access to voting machines that can be manipulated while working on individual campaigns strains the public’s faith in the political process.”
I’ve never trusted the machines. I’d rather have paper ballots, where the results can be recounted from the original vote, instead from a possibly hacked list.

I did a quick demographics check on Hidalgo County: 91% hispanic. Not likely to be many R’s there, so sounds like dog-eat-dog D infighting. If they had evidence of election tampering, why wasn’t that person locked up? Makes no sense to me, even if the county officials are 100% D. -
Yep, it was the Democrat primary that was rigged.

I think I’m going to work out now, come back to work later. Hubby won’t be back until later tonight, and Houseguest will be even later. If I work out now, I can come home and fix dinner, then watch it while I control the remote.

Oh, and I actuallyattendedparticipated in my first aerobics class yesterday. It was a Zumba class, so it was pretty fast moving. I didn’t do any jumping, and I modified the steps. I had to stop a couple of times to do a “butt check” to see how my sciatic nerve was doing and make a few more tweaks, but I was able to finish the class. Took something for inflammation, hung on the table a bit, took a nice hot shower, and I’m still ambulatory today.
But today’s workout won’t be another aerobics class. At least I know I can throw one in on occasion. I used to do ’em five days a week. Now it might be one every five days.
And I’m looking at my dirt pile…. -
Found a page of cheat sheets, should you be interested.

Tedtam, I wish we had matter-transmission between your back yard and my front yard. I would take about half of your dirt pile. I have an enlarging hole where one particular old oak died maybe 10 years ago. Although it was leveled and ground out, it seems there were substantial deep roots left underground, now disintegrated and gaping. It’s in the middle of a shrub bed so no one is likely to fall into it, but sure needs attention. I have a huge mulch pile but it is fluffy and doesn’t pack down to fill even a small hole very well. Maybe I’ll see what I can get hauled to it this weekend, if it isn’t raining.

I got this story from a friend on facebook. Supposedly it is true.
Unplug before you mow! You will laugh…
December 8, 2009 at 7:38pm
Lightning AND A LAWN MOWER: For those of us who do work in the yard occasionally.. Remember the checklist! We have the standard 6 ft. fence in the backyard, and a few months ago,
I heard about burglaries increasing dramatically in the entire city. To make sure this never happened to me, I got an electric fence and …ran a single wire along the top of the fence. Actually, I got the biggest cattle charger Tractor Supply had, made for 26 miles of fence. I then used an 8 ft. long ground rod, and drove it
7.5 feet into the ground. The ground rod is the key, with the more you have in the ground, the better the fence works. One day I’m mowing the back yard with my cheapo Wal-Mart 6 hp big wheel
push mower. The hot wire is broken and laying out in the yard. I knew for a fact that I unplugged the charger. I pushed the mower around the wire and reached down to grab it, to throw it out of the way.
It seems as though I hadn’t remembered to unplug it after all. Now I’m standing there, I’ve got the running lawnmower in my right hand and the 1..7 giga-volt fence wire in the other hand. Keep in mind the charger is about the size of a marine battery and has a picture of an upside down cow on fire on the cover.
Time stood still.
The first thing I notice is my private manhood trying to climb up the front side of my body. My ears curled downwards and I could feel the lawnmower ignition firing in the backside of my brain. Every time that Briggs & Stratton rolled over, I could feel the spark in my head. I was literally at one with the engine. It seems as though the fence charger and the piece of crap lawnmower
were fighting over who would control my electrical impulses. Science says you cannot crap, pee, and vomit at the same time. I beg to
differ. Not only did I do all three at once, but my bowels emptied 3
different times in less than half of a second. It was a Matrix kind of
bowel movement, where time is creeping along and you’re all leaned back and BAM BAM BAM you just crap your pants 3 times. It seemed like there were minutes in between but in reality it was so close together it was like exhaust pulses from a big block Chevy turning 8 grand. At this point I’m about 30 minutes (maybe 2 seconds) into holding onto the fence wire. My hand is wrapped around the wire palm down so I can’t
let go. I grew up on a farm so I know all about electric fences…..but
Dad always had those pieces of crap chargers made by International or whoever that were like 9 volts and just kinda tickled. This one I could not let go of. The 8 foot long ground rod is now
accepting signals from me through the permadamp Ark-La-Tex river bottom soil. At this point I’m thinking I’m going to have to just man up and
take it, until the lawnmower runs out of gas. ‘Damn!,’ I think, as I remember I just filled the tank! Now the lawnmower is starting to run rough. It has settled into a loping run pattern as if it had some kind of big lawnmower race cam in it.
Covered in poop, pee, and with my vomit on my chest I think ‘Oh God
please die… Pleeeeaze die’. But nooooo, it settles into the rough
lumpy cam idle nicely and remains there, like a big bore roller cam EFI
motor waiting for the go command from its owner’s right foot.
So here I am in the middle of July, 104 degrees, 80% humidity, standing
in my own backyard, begging God to kill me. God did not take me that
day……he left me there covered in my own fluids to writhe in the misery my own stupidity had created.. I honestly don’t know how I got loose from the wire…I woke up laying
on the ground hours later. The lawnmower was beside me, out of gas. It
was later on in the day and I was sunburned. There were two large dead grass spots where I had been standing, and
then another long skinny dead spot where the wire had laid while I was
on the ground still holding on to it. I assume I finally had a seizure
and in the resulting thrashing had somehow let go of the wire.
Upon waking from my electrically induced sleep I realized a few things:
1- Three of my teeth seem to have melted.
2- I now have cramps in the bottoms of my feet and my right butt cheek (not the left, just the right).
3- Poop, pee, and vomit when all mixed together, do not smell as bad as you might think. 4- My left eye will not open.
5- My right eye will not close.
6- The lawnmower runs like a sumbitch now. Seriously! I think our little
session cleared out some carbon fouling or something, because it was
better than new after that. 7- My nuts are still smaller than average yet they are almost a foot
long.
That day changed my life. I now have a newfound respect for things.. I
appreciate the little things more, and now I always triple check to make
sure the fence is unplugged before I mow.
The good news, is that if a burglar does try to come over the fence, I
can clearly visualize what my security system will do to him, and THAT
gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling all over, which also reminds me to
triple check before I mow.See MoreElectricity and Hubby don’t mix.FWIW – when I first read it, I though of Tedtam – I don’t know why. . . .
-
I need to find out about this butt check for sciatic nerve relief.
-
Bobo moved to London and made a video.
-
Shannon, just what the wiss were you looking for when you stumbled upon that video?
-
He is still telling people on FB — well, Theo Kaht is — that he will move to CO. For the herbs, ya know.
-
I need to find out about this butt check for sciatic nerve relief.
Perhaps Tedtam can PRIVATE MESSAGE that info to you. Just a suggestion.
-
I accidentally googled “Where’s Bob?”
-
And?? And???
-
Rats. Stranded.
🙂 -
Butt check: When making rapid movements, some of which involve twisting and/or bending, there can be some feelings of aggravation. I have to pause to take a read on what my body is telling me so that I can determine if I have over-aggravated my injury. I have to check my left butt cheek and lower back, and give it a momentary rest if necessary.
Oh, and Bone – no amount of zigging or zagging will help you. >:-( -
Mharper –
Any time you wanna come over and get some dirt, you’re more’n welcome!
