There is a predictable donnybrook about a T-shirt saying "Slavery gets shit done."

Why argue? It's a fact. Not ironic or contradictory or horrible. Just a fact.

Remove the vile anti-Natural-Law propaganda that NYC has been feeding us for 200 years.

Remove the words and leave the functions.

Natural Law recognizes two forms of work, and recognizes that each form has a place.

Ownership, with permanent lifetime obligations on both sides, gets big shit done. Organized massive shit like pyramids and railroads and cars.

Independent workers get small shit done. Specialized and personalized shit like plumbing and haircuts and art.

Around 1800, London and NYC capitalists developed a new setup that breaks both rules. Debtism spawns big organizations WITHOUT permanent loyalty on either side. The boss can fire anyone for any reason, and the boss can work you to death and toss your carcass into the forge.

London and NYC propagandized this bad setup by stigmatizing the balanced system of ownership. You're supposed to work hard in the new system because you're "free". You have "God-given rights". You can start your own company any time you want. You can move up in the ranks.

Those claims are legalistically true but Naturally untrue. In Natural fact most people are not independent artisans. Most people are not leaders. The NYC system puts your focus on a goal that AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN. Everyone spends their energy in a futile pursuit of position instead of getting shit done.

Parkinson recognized the converse of the latter problem. A bureaucracy always tends toward the pursuit mode, but when SHIT IS ACTUALLY GETTING DONE, the jockeying for position is suppressed.

Men want to be useful. Men want to make things. When the making is gone, men will spend their energy seeking POSITION instead of ACCOMPLISHMENT.

And that's where we are now. Our goals are no longer aimed at making more life, more value, more beauty. We are solely focused on BEING instead of DOING. We tell youngsters that they can BE anything they want, including Gender #47 or God or Boss or an Artist or a President. These BE-promises are flatout lies. Everyone has a fixed set of skills and a fixed status. When you KNOW your position, when you KNOW your skills and your status, you can then focus on GETTING SHIT DONE, which is the GOD-ASSIGNED REASON FOR OUR EXISTENCE.

= = = = =

UncommonDescent has been quoting linguist Neil Rude lately.

Rude is observing one side effect of this corrosive focus on BEING. He notes that 'ambitransitive' verbs are getting more common in English. I don't think the ambi-ness is the main point; it's the spread of INtransitive and middle voice. We're losing the basic relationship of subject-verb-object that belongs in a DOING culture. We're replacing it by BEING forms, where the verb indicates a condition or action without an actor. Sharp-pointed example:

Transitive: I'm driving my car.
Middle voice: My car drives fast.

In languages with more verb inflections, this change shows up as a shift toward reflexive verbs, which have a form like My car drives itself. The meaning is the same.

It's no coincidence that the Sorosian parts of the world, where the fraudulent goal of BEING is firmly established, have languages with caseless nouns, while the non-Sorosian areas have distinct noun cases. From Poland to Hungary to Turkey to Russia to China to Korea, the siren song of Soros gets little traction.

When the giver and receiver of action sound different to your ears and feel different to your tongue, it's harder to lose sight of PURPOSE.

BBC briefly mentions an OECD standardized test for various educational abilities. One section of the test is called the Pisa Test of Global Competence. BBC says that several countries, including UK and US, have decided not to give this section.

First question pretty much gives the flavor:



In fact the first choice in the first question covers it. How well can you "explain how carbon dioxide emissions contribute to global climate change?" Since carbon dioxide is actually a RESULT of global climate change, this choice judges your ability to "explain" a criminal fraudulent falsehood that enriches Soros and empowers Deepstate. You are not allowed to "explain" a fact or question Sorosian orthodoxy.

There's a lot of self-evaluation, which is always dubious... and these self-evaluations are stacked toward Satan. Note the direction of all these choices:

  It's not forbidden. It's perfectly common!
Languages with real verb inflections often have distinct endings for several types of imperative, depending on who's receiving the orders.

These distinct forms always include 2nd person singular and plural. Sometimes 3rd singular and plural. Often 1st plural. NEVER 1st singular, because supposedly you can't give orders to yourself.

Nonsense. 1st singular imperative is probably more common than the others, especially in the context of memos and reminders.

I hadn't thought about it until just now. After I figured out a time-saving trick, I wrote a Note To Self in my Reminders file for the current project:

While building a LSN that requires lots of splitting and reuniting of text pages, avoid constant renumbering of the PAGES list by simply capping it with END PAGES after the point where I'm working.

What caught my attention was a dissonance. My sense of grammatical regularity insisted that the last few words should be where you're working because avoid is an imperative, and imperatives are always 2nd person. But there isn't any you in this situation. The imperative is an order to me, not an order to you. Therefore, in this sentence avoid is a 1st singular imperative, though English doesn't mark any of these forms explicitly.



= = = = =

Later thought: This little piece of grammar is sort of Heisenbergy. People have always left internal Notes To Self, some verbal and some non-verbal. Before widespread and convenient writing, these internal notes wouldn't have been observed by grammarians. The only externally observable equivalent would have been a bankshot of 2nd person imperatives. "Remind me to lock the doors!" ... followed by the later response ... "Lock the doors!" After writing became easy and cheap, and especially after the invention of the refrigerator magnet, the Note To Self became a purely self-given command with an externally observable and archivable instantiation.

  You pays
Previous two items nicely illustrate the distinction between harmless hooey and harmful hooey.

Harmless hooey: The Buddha gaff provides a bit of entertainment and a bit of thought for a very small price. A dime in the '30s = $2 now. Would you pay $2 for a few minutes of wonderment plus something new to think about? I would.

Harmful hooey: The Bergoglio gaff provides genocide and torture and ruined lives and crushed civilizations for an infinitely large price. We are paying trillions to support "global warming" and forced migrant invasions and total destruction of truth and goodness and purpose.

You pays your money and you takes your choice.... except that you're dead after paying for the second choice.

  The Buddha gaff
Recently I cited one of Aberree's astrologers, who mentioned that he had announced his 1960 election prophecy on Long John Nebel's WOR talk show. I hadn't heard of Nebel. Now a biography of Nebel has appeared in the American Radio History library.

Nebel was one of those universal con men along the lines of JR Brinkley, working remarkably hard and cleverly to put over a scam. He finally settled into a supplement scam, selling a secret combination of herbs that was supposed to cure everything. His radio show was part of the supplement scam, just like most talk shows today. Medicine shows selling magic elixirs.

Before he settled down, he tried every gaff in the book and invented some new ones.

Here's the Buddha gaff:



There weren't a lot** of Buddhists or Muslims in NYC back then.... a Buddha who chants "Praise Allah" wouldn't get very far now.

Where did he get the preprinted invisible ink cards?



Through an established supply chain, of course.

= = = = =

The mental gaff had an amazingly difficult technique:



Plenty of mental gaffers are still around, still making big bucks. The gaff clearly requires tremendous mental skill and agility. I'd think actual telepathy would be easier.

= = = = =

** Second thought: The lack of members of those religions probably wasn't the main difference. Before we started making war against Buddhist and Muslim countries, most Americans simply didn't give a fuck about those parts of the world, which was a sane and normal attitude. In popular magazines and newspapers and trademarks, Oriental stuff and Arabic stuff was all mashed together as "mysterious and arcane". After 1950 we are supposed to "understand" those distinctions so we can "know" which parts of the "arcane" are Current Enemies and which parts are Valued Allies. Deepstate constantly upbraids us for failing to "know" the difference between Sunni and Shia or the difference between Hindu and Buddhist. One side of each pair is Eastasia and the other is Eurasia. One side of each pair is Eurasia and the other is Eastasia. One side of each pair is Eastasia and the other is Eurasia. One side of each pair is Eurasia and the other is Eastasia.

  Chief inquisitor warns against cheap knockoff inquisitors
Antichrist Bergoglio continues serving Soros. He warns us against "fake news".

Who is he talking about? As usual Satan is a sneaky snake, making vague insinuations, but this passage leaves no doubt:

Praiseworthy efforts are being made to create educational programmes aimed at helping people to interpret and assess information provided by the media, and teaching them to take an active part in unmasking falsehoods, rather than unwittingly contributing to the spread of disinformation. Praiseworthy too are those institutional and legal initiatives aimed at developing regulations for curbing the phenomenon, to say nothing of the work being done by tech and media companies in coming up with new criteria for verifying the personal identities concealed behind millions of digital profiles.

Developing regulations = EU banning "hate speech" that fails to support EU. Facebook and Twitter banning "hate speech" that fails to praise Hillary.

Millions of digital profiles = RUSSIAN_BOTS.

There are no institutional or legal initiatives, no regulations, on the side of truth.

Here's the sneakiest part:

Nor can we ever stop seeking the truth, because falsehood can always creep in, even when we state things that are true. An impeccable argument can indeed rest on undeniable facts, but if it is used to hurt another and to discredit that person in the eyes of others, however correct it may appear, it is not truthful.

Truth that might discredit someone is NOT TRUTHFUL. Since the professional victims and the people who need to be discredited are all on Soros's side, this means that all criticism of Satan is UNTRUTHFUL by infallible definition.

Accept no substitutes! Look for the Soros™ trademark. It's easy to recognize. If it's not Soros™ it's UNTRUTHFUL!

I've kept the vow, except for the few days when the streets were so icy that I had to turn back immediately. My purpose was prayerful, hoping to cause a positive change in some mysterious spiritual way.

  A whole bunch of nothing special
BBC's non-news features often get things surprisingly right. Not this one! BBC clearly chose a writer who doesn't understand ANYTHING about programming or graphics or simple metrology.

A Facebook engineer has invented a new unit of time called a flick.

The flick has been designed to help developers keep video effects in sync, according to a description on the code-sharing site GitHub.

A flick, derived from "frame-tick", is 1/705,600,000 of a second - the next unit of time after a nanosecond.

It's not "the next unit". You can't describe anything as "the next unit". Anyone can define any base unit for specific purposes.

Flicks are defined in the programming language C++, which is used to generate visual effects for film, television and other media.

Two category errors in one sentence.

(1) A unit isn't defined in or by any programming language. It's just an arbitrary decision to use a particular number for a particular purpose. Apparently these coders were working in C++ when they decided to set up a personal unit. They could have defined it in Cobol or Fortran or Basic or chalk on a blackboard or beads on a very large abacus. (2) C++ is used for all sorts of purposes, and all sorts of languages are used for graphics and visual effects. Ultimately, if you're working for maximum speed you're going to be writing directly in machine code or assembler for the graphics processor system.

Flicks give programmers a way to measure the time between media frames without using fractions. Matt Hammond, lead research engineer at BBC Research and Development, said this can reduce errors such as stutters in graphics. "When the numbers used are not integers, errors can gradually creep into computer calculations. These errors can build up over time, eventually causing inaccuracies that become noticeable," he said.

This is common practice. Again, when you're trying for maximum speed and precision, you want to keep things integral to avoid roundoff errors and time-consuming multiplications and divisions. I've often defined custom ad-hoc base units in a similar way, finding the least common multiple.

In fact the ordinary time system of 60's and 24's was developed by the Babylonians for the same purpose.

Whole bunch of nothing special, treated by BBC as a new special invention.

  RT gets there first AGAIN


RT has breaking news of a BIG quake off Alaska, causing tsunami alerts all the way down the coast to Wash, and across to Hawaii.

No sign of the news in Bing and Google aggregators, no sign in any of the local "news" outlets. Some of them don't work at night, but the ones that do update their Twitter feeds are showing things like Ralph Lauren fashion awards and a "comedian" in Seattle who was attacked by his audience. (Bravo!)

The "local" "news" outlets often focus mostly on the Seattle area, and a tsunami reaching the coast of Wash is definitely a Seattle event. It's not fashion or RUSSIAN_HACKING so it doesn't exist.

FWIW (not much): I had one of those definite earthquaky feelings two days ago, but dismissed it because I've got other worries this week, so couldn't isolate the variable.

One hour later, Bing (which is based in Seattle) still hasn't noticed the tsunami, but finally picked up the nearly simultaneous quake in Java. The ring of fire is getting EXTREMELY active in the last two months, with newly awakened volcanoes in Phillipines and Indonesia and Japan. We should be paying more attention to this, but we won't. It disproves the CO2 nonsense, therefore it can't exist.

  Roads that prohibit cars
I'm puzzled by a peculiar conflict between major pieces of web commerce. Youtube constantly runs JS scripts that Firefox can't handle. FF grinds to a halt, presents you with a choice of Continue, Debug or Stop. Continue just restarts the obstacle; Debug would only be useful if you had written the script; Stop restarts the obstacle. IE also grinds to a halt but without throwing the useless message.

This makes no sense from either side, even after acknowledging that we are the products. Why does Google want to stop viewing by product eyeballs? Why do both Firefox and IE collaborate in the stopping process? Shouldn't they find a way to bill Google for its persistent interference with commerce?

It's like a toll road partly funded by GM that senses the entrance of Ford and Toyota and Chrysler cars, and slams a gate shut to prevent entry. Why stop 2/3 of the cars, when those cars could be helping to pay for the road?

  Good prophecy
From the incomparable American Radio History library, a 1970 issue of British Practical Electronics has an editorial...



In fact the nightmare arrived quietly in the early '80s. The web, embodied in Compuserve and Prodigy and similar services, was becoming commonplace. At the same time, by a mysterious coincidence, NSA's language processing abilities reached maturity.



Hmm. That's funny. I thought the media NEVER used bugging. Now that Wikileaks and O'Keefe and others are FINALLY using bugging to reveal the media's own massive infinite indescribable feral wickedness, the alien demons are claiming virginal purity and mobilizing legislatures to outlaw such activities....



... Just as the magazine prophesied in 1970. The writer was appropriately cynical about the value of "laws", but unduly sanguine about the monstrous hypercriminal gangs known as "courts", which have been the vanguard of tyranny.

  Se-lu 21, ablation edition
I've been treating the Federal monster as a giant racket, which implies a conscious purpose or intention.

Try something else. Se-lu. To solve the problem, loosen the concept, loosen the diagnosis. Treat it instead as a giant human.

What's the pathology?

The lower brainstem and spinal reflexes are still running. Breathing and heartbeat and muscles all good. Taxes in, pensions and wages out.

The parietal lobe is working in a basic way, receiving sensory data and moving muscles in response. Weather data and agricultural data in, subsidies and contracts adjusted.

But the frontal lobe is gone. Decision-making is absent, replaced by a fight-or-flight reflex permanently stuck on fight. Since 1946 the fighting makes no sense, serves no purpose, even when judged by cynical Machiavellian standards. It's not defending or preserving anything. It doesn't deter attacks; it EXPLICITLY CREATES ATTACKS. 9/11 happened BECAUSE of our insane aggression in the Arab world. We're losing territory instead of gaining territory. Allies are running away as fast as they can cut loose. But there's no feedback mechanism to examine this totally counterproductive and suicidal result. Just the raw reflex, turned up to 100000000000000. Killing and killing and killing and killing and killing.

Temporal lobe is gone. Speech and hearing are gone. Instead of giving information and guidance, the government screeches and roars incoherently, babbling about delusional THINGS THAT DO NOT EXIST. Instead of offering discipline to maintain internal order, the monster runs around committing and creating crimes, killing and killing and killing and killing and killing.

Which parts should be ablated to halt the permanent seizure?

Leave the brainstem in place. Leave the mechanical agencies that operate without decisions. IRS, SS, VA, Post office, agriculture and commerce departments.

Ablate everything else. The frontal and temporal lobes, the pieces that were originally designed to make decisions, give guidance and maintain order. Legislature, judiciary, executive, "law" "enforcement", military, diplomats.

Reprinting from last month:

I was grumpily roaring questions like "How come it's OK for Saudi to pay billions to politicians, who then obey Saudi orders, but it's not OK for politicians to TALK to Russia, which DOESN'T give us orders? How come it's OK for the Clinton Mafia to kill witnesses but not OK for the Trump mob to breathe or live?"

Realized the answer is in the question.


It's OK for Saudi to control us and kill 3000 Americans with jetliners BECAUSE Saudi controls us and kills us with jetliners.

It's not OK for politicians to talk with Russia BECAUSE Russia DOESN'T control and meddle and hack and attack us.


It's OK for the Clinton Mafia to kill everyone who threatens it BECAUSE the Clinton Mafia kills everyone who threatens it.

It's not OK for the Trump mob to exist and breathe BECAUSE the Trump mob DOESN'T kill everyone who threatens it.

= = = = = END REPRINT.

Adding another self-answering question:

NSA is claiming that it "accidentally deleted" some emails that some pointless investigator wants for some pointless purpose.

Everyone knows that NSA doesn't delete anything. No major organization deletes anything, but NSA is even stricter and more cautious than monsters like Twitter and Facebook. Reading everything and keeping everything is NSA's sole mission, while the other monsters are secondarily required to keep everything in case of audits or lawsuits.

The excuse about deletion belongs in the same category as "The dog peed on my homework." Nobody should accept it.

Yet everybody DOES accept it, nobody even SAYS that big organizations always keep everything.

Why do they accept NSA's dogpee excuse when they wouldn't accept it from anyone else?

Because NSA keeps everything ... and uses it for blackmail.

  1895 bears fruit for the first time
In the 1890s a romantic notion of international governance started to develop. The first outgrowths of this notion were Esperanto, the Nobel Prize, and the (modern) Olympics.

Esperanto was pointless from the start, partly because of poor linguistic design. A better product might have served a real purpose.

The Nobel Prize was meaningful for a few decades (especially for the many years when the committee REFUSED to award a prize!)... then after WW2 it flipped and became a reward for assisting Deepstate's genocide.

The Olympics flipped almost immediately, turning into a warmaking tool for both sides. See how horrible Current Enemy is? We need to kill them!

Now for the FIRST TIME the Olympics are serving the original purpose. North and South Korea are operating in harmony, joining in one hockey team and cooperating on other sports.

The South is using this momentary togetherness as a WEAPON FOR PEACE, trying to pole-vault its momentum into a longer marathon of negotiation:

South Korea's Unification Ministry will seek to hold high-level talks with North Korea on a regular basis and pursue the provision of humanitarian aid to infants and pregnant women in the North. In a 2018 policy briefing to Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon on Friday, the ministry said it would restore inter-Korean relations by regularly holding high-level talks and resuming inter-Korean exchanges and humanitarian programs.

The ministry will seek high-level talks, as well as military and Red Cross talks.

It has decided to lead North Korea to the negotiating table for denuclearization based on inter-Korean talks and international cooperation, while working to establish sustainable inter-Korean relations through the legislation of inter-Korean agreements.

The ministry will also expand civilian cross-border exchanges in diverse areas of religion, sports and health and medical care after the North's participation in the Winter Olympics.

I pray for success. When people get a chance to WORK TOGETHER FOR A COMMON PURPOSE, conflict fades. The SHARED PURPOSE is crucial. Talking without a WORK GOAL makes things worse, emphasizes the differences and conflicts.

Meanwhile back at the genocide ranch, we're continuing to use the Olympics as a weapon against Russia, A COUNTRY THAT HAS NEVER FIRED A SINGLE SHOT OR BOMB AT US IN ALL OF OUR HISTORY. And we're trying to STOP the Koreans from committing peace.

We are absolute crime, absolute evil, absolute wickedness, absolute sin. We need to be removed from the universe.

  Fraudulent blackmail
An odd sort of fake blackmail is emerging in recent political nonsense.

= = = = =

First case: The document about Saudi involvement in 9/11. Supposedly several Congressmonsters had read it and seen the 'smoking gun'. Instead of simply TELLING US WHAT'S IN THE DOCUMENT, these Congressmonsters tried to mobilize public pressure on Deepstate to declassify the document. Everyone knows that Deepstate never declassifies anything, so the mobilization was guaranteed to be futile, and the Congressmonsters were then free from real pressure to tell the truth.

= = = = =

Second case: Congressmonsters are telling us that they have seen a memo about the GPS Fusion mess which will expose the Clinton mob's involvement. Another 'smoking gun'. Instead of simply TELLING US WHAT'S IN THE DOCUMENT, they are mobilizing the useful idiots to pressure Deepstate toward releasing the document. Again everyone knows that Deepstate never releases anything, so the Congressmonsters are now free from pressure to tell the truth.

= = = = =

In plain old honest blackmail, A knows something about B that B wants to conceal. A forces B to pay for the service of keeping the secret.

These weird deals look something like blackmail on the surface. Congressmonsters know something about Deepstate that Deepstate wants to conceal.

An honest blackmailer would give Deepstate two choices. Reveal the secret or we'll zero out your budget.

The public would win. If Deepstate revealed the secret to keep its budget, the public would see that "9/11" was a total fraud committed by Deepstate, and the public would see that "Russian interference" is a total fraud committed by Deepstate. If Deepstate decided to keep the secret, it would lose its official budget and would have to fall back on its profitable but unreliable finance-sector rackets.

= = = = =

But that's NOT what happens in these weird little arrangements.

The public pressure looks like punishment applied to Deepstate. IN FUCKING FACT Deepstate isn't bothered at all by public opinion. IN FUCKING FACT Deepstate gains useful information about the mobilized idiots, making the next pogrom more convenient.

Deepstate wins double, and the Congressmonsters gain credit for being whistleblowers while loyally advancing the purposes of Deepstate.

  Vocabulary envy
Latest item at KSHS is not especially old:

This gunflint was recovered during excavations in 2014 of the Adair Cabin site, home of Reverend Samuel and Florella Brown Adair and their family, in Osawatomie, Kansas. Osawatomie and the Adairs were much involved with the abolitionist movement during the "Bleeding Kansas" years. Gunflints were used to generate a spark in a flintlock musket or pistol and as strike-a-lights for lighting a fire. This gunflint was quarried and manufactured in France, as is indicated by it's honey-yellow or blonde color. The square gunflint has one dorsal arriss.

Arriss?

I enjoy reading these archeology items for the terminology. The digital world is starved for jargon; new devices get acronyms, and variations just add more letters to the acronyms. (ROM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM. RAM, DRAM, SDRAM, DDR1-SDRAM.) Techniques for forming graphic shapes and specialized programming structures are also nameless. No lively metaphors. In earlier times electronic work had a rich vocabulary for types of circuits, ways of building a radio, and variations on parts. All gone in the digital era.

Googling arriss leads to a detailed discussion of gunflint classifications, and sure enough the flint under discussion looks nearly identical to the KSHS specimen. Honey-colored, translucent**, with one dorsal arris, which means it's French.

Yes, it is indeed a gunflint (and, since it’s prismatic, not a gunspall). It’s a typical form for the mid-late 1700’s onwards and it has been used… as evidenced by the semi-circular impact damage on the heel, created by the cap-screw of the gun-hammer. It’s what De Lotbiniere proposed as “Type 4”, characterised by having a single dorsal arris.

Arris seems to be the proper spelling, and the term was formerly common among stone-cutters, as in this passage from an 1828 'Popular and Practical Treatise on Masonry':



Now we're circling back to techniques for forming graphic shapes!


** This stone is so beautiful that I'm surprised it isn't used for jewelry! ... EDIT: It is.

  Holland again
After I got thinking about Holland, ZH happened to feature a couple of Dutch items today.

One is a Dutch vegan who moved to Switzerland and started a campaign against the local cattle industry. She's so annoying that the town voted against giving her citizenship. Annoying vegans are unsurprising. Interesting information: Switzerland has genuine DECENTRALIZED DEMOCRACY. Towns have the power to refuse citizenship!

The other is one of those meaningless surveys on 'who trusts news'. Dutch people trust their news more than anyone else.

I decided to check some Dutch news sources, since I hadn't paid ANY attention to them for many years. First try was good old Radio Nederland. Turns out they stopped broadcasting in 2012 and didn't switch to an active podcast website like other shortwave stations. Instead, they turned into a foundation that tries to spread "real news" by Dutch standards to the benighted masses of Darkest Africa.

Here's the website. It's way beyond BBC or DW in the Soros department. Intense hypersatanic propaganda and organizing aimed at Africa, designed to TEAR AFRICA TO SHREDS. Every aspect of morality and religion and family life is SLEDGEHAMMERED and EXPLODED from all flanks.

Unsurprising. Holland is, after all, the country that ARRESTED Geert Wilders for gently and carefully telling the precise truth. "Real news" means Soros times 100.

  What's missing on a chessboard?
One of the second-string Repooflican yappers was observing: "It's ironic that the lower-class always votes Democrat, and the richest people also vote Democrat."

Not ironic at all. Astute social observers have seen this forever.

In fact it's innate. Natural law. Serfs and owners always align on the same side because serfs can't survive without the owners. Most importantly, serfs fight for their owners when ordered, but artisans and merchants don't fight willingly. Makers are traditionally antiwar because war is breaking. The Insatiable takers, the aristocrats, are warmongers because they always want MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE, and they love to break people and things.

A chessboard illustrates the point. Chess was designed by aristocrats. The pieces include all the allies and employees of aristocrats: Kings, queens, bishops, knights, pawns. But there are no merchants or coppersmiths or millers or carpenters on a chessboard.

This winter seems to be warmer and wetter than usual, with more rain and less snow than average. A quick look at the Weather Bureau's monthly summaries verifies the guess.

For Nov and Dec and Jan to today (18) the liquid precip total is 7.09 inches. If all of that had fallen as snow, we'd have around 80 inches of snow. But in fact we only have 30 so far. Most of the precip fell as rain.

  Surprisingly drab
Quora.com continues to send me daily digests, which I find useful in two ways. The programming questions are often good info or good puzzles, and the other subjects are often surprising images of the typical feelings and lifestyles of other countries. Positive contribution to international understanding.

Today's new question was simple: What do people eat daily in your country?

Most of the answers are unsurprising and yummy. Lebanon and Pakistan are the yummiest.

Some are unexpected. Argentina is mostly Italian, but Uruguay is just beef, beef, and more beef, washed down with maté instead of coffee or tea.

For some reason the answer from Holland stunned me. Breakfast is a cheese sandwich (or a CHOCOLATE SANDWICH!) and a glass of milk. Lunch is tomato soup. Dinner is meat, potato, and green beans.

Except for the CHOCOLATE SANDWICH, that's standard drab midwestern American eating in the 1950s, before Mexican influence moved in. That's how my mother cooked, and that's why I didn't like to eat until I discovered (through Mexican influence) that food could be edible.

I hadn't specifically thought about Dutch food, but I would have guessed more sharply Germanic, with ham and cucumbers and bratwurst and lots of fish.

More importantly, the abovedescribed Dutch menu violates all the 'Mediterranean diet' rules... and yet modern Dutch folks are the tallest and probably the healthiest in Europe. Was the Quora answer simply wrong? Or is the 'Mediterranean diet' wrong?

RT shows a headline:



The British and French leaders have reached an agreement that will solve a BRITISH problem which is ACTUALLY KILLING AND HARMING ACTUAL BRITISH PEOPLE.

The media and politicians in Sorosian lands have reached a height of convoluted delusional psychopathic psychotic insane hallucinations that nobody could EVER have imagined being able to imagine the possibility of imagining at any time in any universe, including the "multiverses" that these monsters also treat as flat facts.

  Movable type to moving type
One episode of the best radio program, 'Strange as it Seems', features a murder on an Injun reservation. The script is taken directly from the trial transcript. The mother of the murdered girl is testifying about how she discovered the girl was dead...........

= = = = =

Lawyer: You said that you heard about your daughter Mabel's death from an owl. What did the owl say?

Mother: Owl say: Annie missing. Dead.

Lawyer: Annie missing, dead? I thought your daughter's name was Mabel.

Mother: Owl say: Annie missing. Dead. Her name Annie, too.

(Later...)

Lawyer, terminally exasperated: If the girl's name is Mabel, why did the owl mean your daughter when he said Annie?

Mother, ditto: I tell you! Her name Mabel sometimes! Annie sometimes!

The judge then calls an expert in language who verifies that Injuns have variable names, and that Injuns hear meaning in animal speech.

= = = = =

Variable names aren't a strange idea. Naming by current function or tendency was common everywhere before bureaucracy and printing forced lifetime permanence of ID.

Variable names have returned in the digital world where paper doesn't pin things down. Different avatars in different forums. My name Polistra sometimes! Ockham sometimes!

We could represent the variable parts of the world better if we could formalize this level of variability. Gutenberg brought us movable type, with molded letters capable of taking different positions on the page to spell words and sentences. The next step is movable pixels within the type. Shapeable type.

Spam in today's email:

The CIA is watching you. Here's how to stop them.

First thought: As usual the scammer is presenting an obviously false premise. If you're dumb enough to think there's a way to stop CIA, you're also dumb enough to pay big money for the One Weird Trick. Good old sucker filter technique.

Second thought: Well, how do you ACTUALLY stop CIA monitoring? Die.

Third thought: No, wait. That won't work either. The CIA's fronts in the digital world (Facebook, Google, Twitter) have no provision to stop watching you when you die.

Pre-digital businesses take action when a customer or employee dies. They close the account or halt the lease or pay the beneficiaries or whatever is appropriate. When you die in the digital world, your FB page or your storefront keeps on running. This is recognized as a problem, but the CIA fronts are doing nothing to solve it.

Why do they want it this way? There's the question. Ordinary scammers sometimes make use of a dead man's SS number to create fake identities. Is that the purpose here? Doesn't sound right.

Footnote: This spam comes from an outfit called Great American Daily, which was set up as part of faker Trump's scampaign.

  If
Random thought.

If Trump really wanted to change things, he'd start issuing executive orders that are PRECISELY THE SAME as Obama's executive orders, EXACT PHOTOCOPIES, with only one difference. The signature of Obama is crossed out and replaced by Trump's signature, and the date is crossed out and replaced by the current date.

Black-robed demons will instantly overrule the order because it was issued by Incorrect President. Repeat this process daily. Over and over and over and over. Pretty soon all of Obama's orders will be overturned BY THE DEMONS, not by Trump. Nothing will be left of Obama's decisions. Nobody can question the actions of demons, and the demons will find it difficult to overrule their OWN actions later.

Needless to say, this won't happen. We already know that Trump doesn't intend to change anything. He didn't do anything remotely resembling this; didn't even call attention to the fact that he was mainly restoring orders that had existed during most of Obama's term. The demons weren't bothered by the orders until Incorrect President restored them.

  More old drones
I've previously noted that remote-controlled planes are more than a hundred years old.

Here's another old reference that comes closer to the modern version.

'David Harding Counterspy' was a long-running radio series produced by the even more long-running Phillips Lord outfit. Through most of its run, Counterspy was a simplistic cop show seemingly aimed at a young audience, well below the expertise and accuracy of similar shows.

In 1950 Counterspy had at least one seriously science-minded writer. This episode has remote-controlled drones remarkably similar in size and function to the modern version. Dual copter fans, small cargo compartment carrying 5 pounds. They were used by drug smugglers to carry the goodies across the Rio Grande without detection by police.



This episode features a sound spectrograph which accidentally recorded an important conversation in an acoustics lab. The cops find somebody who can electronically decode the spectrograph chart. (Unnecessary level of sci-fi; in 1950 you could find an acoustics expert who could simply read the chart by eye. It was a common skill.)

And this one features a sort of tele-medicine. The main character is shot in the head, and the normal surgeons aren't able to remove the bullet safely. They locate the one surgeon who can do the procedure, and he instructs them by long-distance phone. The anatomy of the brain regions and incisions is accurate.

  Blaming the wrong user /// EDIT: Nope.
The discussion of Hawaii's false nuke alarm is asking the wrong question. 1% of the commenters are blaming the guy who made the wrong mouse-click, 99% are blaming Trump. We can ignore the blame-Trump part, since Trump is the designated scapegoat for everything EXCEPT the things he should be blamed for.

Hawaii should be blaming and JAILING the software company that designed the system.

The dude who clicked the wrong place on the screen is NOT blameworthy. In fact he should be halfway lauded for performing the TEST that the designers FAILED to perform.

Design starts with understanding the desires and limits of the humans who will be using the system. The Hawaii system failed at the start, because it makes the alert too easy and the cancellation too hard. Even for a simple non-critical action like deleting a fucking file, every system makes you go through an extra Are you sure? step. Why didn't this system have a multi-layer Are you sure? for a drastic action like panicking millions of people, some of whom will die of heart attacks or car accidents or stampedes?

Design ends (temporarily) after thousands of hours of testing with humans of all types. Old, young, dumb, smart, trained, untrained, alert, sleepy, drunk. The unfortunate dude who clicked the wrong item has now STARTED THE TESTING PROCESS, which was clearly omitted before. Give him a reward.

Later thought: Of course the best fucking solution for a SERIOUS CHOICE is a fucking PHYSICAL SWITCH with a fucking PHYSICAL KEY-LOCK. For 180 years SERIOUS CHOICES have been made by PHYSICAL SWITCHES.


= = = = =

EDIT: Update after more info emerged: Well, the software did have an Are you sure? choice, and the agency employee went ahead and sent the alert anyway. Twice. So he is to blame. The software should obviously have better protection as well. The stupidest part of all is that the Hawaiian agency had to check with FEMA in DC to get permission to turn off the alarm.

Major conclusion: As always, USA STRONG's overriding Prime Directive is to kill its own people. We are pure crime, pure evil, pure omnicide, pure wickedness. We need to be removed from the universe.

  Aberree and Manweller
In Oct '60, Aberree brought in two astrologers to forecast the '60 election.

One of them put out the usual apocalyptic nonsense**, based on the bizarre wacked-out delusion that elections create "democracy", therefore eliminating elections removes "democracy".



He saw Ike cancelling the '60 election and Gen MacArthur taking over in a military coup. The astrologer treated this as a disaster, but he was wrong. Consider how MacArthur improved Japan. He could have done the same for America. Japan won the industrial battle of the '70s because MacArthur brought the best parts of America (ie Fordism) into Japan, while America lost the battle because we replaced Fordism by Goldmanism. This astrologer was broadly right about the 'breakdown' starting in 73, but wrong about all the details.

= = = = =

The other astrologer called the election correctly, with a couple of wonderfully accurate details. Whether the details came from the stars or from an astute analysis of the two men, they're still excellent.



= = = = =

** Apocalyptoids ALWAYS claim that disaster is preventable by picking the correct party. Apocalyptoids ALWAYS tell us that Current President Of Incorrect Party is going to cancel the election and declare himself President For Life. The above item gives us proof that the same idiocy has been running verbatim for 57 years ... probably a lot longer.

They're wrong about both parts. As always, they're hopelessly gullible and naive, the exact opposite of paranoid. They believe that elections exist, and they believe that presidents have power.

The disaster isn't in the future. It started in 1776 when the colonies broke away from Britain and created a new insane country based on nonsensical counterfactual theories. They could have used their protests and boycotts to negotiate better treatment, but they didn't. The disaster got worse in 1787 when the colonists wrote the insane theories into a system guaranteed to produce tyranny. They could have turned back in 1792 when the theories received an early and bloody proof in France, but they didn't. The disaster was locked in 1803 when the Supreme Screeching Demons tore up the bad constitution and replaced it with raw personal authority of the Supreme Screeching Demons. Congress could have shut down the Demons, but Congress failed. Since then, the disaster has been permanent and unsolvable.

And the current president is NOT going to declare himself President for life because he doesn't have the power to declare much of anything. He is Deepstate's slave. JFK realized this and briefly tried to "fight the devil and all his imps". After that he was "not destined to live a long life."

  Patient things, patient methods
What's the exact opposite of bitcoin and MMT and QE and Soros?

This feature in the English Russia website shows the Russian equivalent of Fort Knox.

First opposite: The gold is being shown. You can see it's there. USA STRONG never shows any of the gold that it SUPPOSEDLY holds.

Second opposite: This gold is part of a long-term strategy to rebuild a true gold standard in the sane Silk Road part of the world.

Third opposite: Inventory is kept on CLIPBOARDS, not web-connected hackable smartphone thingamajigs.



The first two opposites are clearly an intentional display, consistent with sanity and metrology. The purpose of gold is to provide a VISIBLE AND VERIFIABLE GROUND POINT for exchange of value. Gold is not meant to be the primary exchange material.

The third was probably unintentional, so it's the most impressive.

Russia has a long tradition of sticking with physical and analog methods, and this is typical. When you record on paper, there is NO CHANCE of detection or alteration by foreign action at a distance.

When you record on smartphone thingamajigs, you are GUARANTEEING action at a distance and FORBIDDING modularity. Everything responds instantly to the Will Of Soros. Everything is contained within the Mind Of Soros.

= = = = =

BUT: On the other hand, the Russian government has allowed billionaires to buy small hydroelectric plants for planned bitcoin "mining". One deal involves a 30 megawatt hydro and geothermal plant, sold for only 2 million dollars. Bitcoin is strictly illegal in Russia because Russia is sane... but the legislature is considering a looser approach. In any country, billionaires with vested interests can shape legislation, so these deals may be a vesting and shaping move.

  Constants and variables 86
O'Keefe has started a series on the inner workings of Twitter. As usual the "freedom" advocates are focusing on the non-shocking constant part and missing the evil variable.

There's nothing unusual about keeping records of all the messages, deleted or not. Any company that runs an email server has to do that. It's been the law for 25 years. Before the web, companies were required to keep copies of internal memos for a certain amount of time. And there's nothing unusual about being ready to submit those records to the government. That's why the records are kept.

These requirements have always been tyrannical and selectively enforced, but it's a very old tyranny. Not Twitter's idea, not Twitter's fault.

If you want to think of Twitter as a publisher instead of a carrier, the practice is less legalistic but even older. Publishers have always kept a 'morgue' of old copies for reference and for use in copyright actions.

The evil part is Twitter's attitude about this record-keeping. They are proudly using the records for purposes well beyond cold storage in case of audit. They are using the records to censor and inquisit heretics.

The second video shows an even scarier attitude. "Like flags and crosses and guns... nobody thinks that way. Must be a bot. Or a redneck." Bot = redneck = unperson. Since BotRedneckThink doesn't exist, we're not committing a crime by liquidating the unperson which unthinks this way. We're simply removing a contradiction.

  Metashaving a metayak 2
Even though I'm not in an office and don't punch a clock, I tend to keep a pretty consistent work schedule without trying. I didn't realize just HOW consistent it was until tonight, when I was putting today's work-steps into the latest todo.txt file.

The todo habit was formed long ago, and serves as a highly useful store of knowledge. Did I solve this particular JS or graphics problem before? If so, it's going to be in one of the todos on a USB drive.

Tonight I noticed that the todos on this project were almost all formed at the same time of day. I don't start the files daily or weekly; each new file happens when the old one is about 6kb in length. Thus each file records a variable number of days but a fairly constant number of actual work-steps.

Here's an Excel of the times when each todo was created:



Bad weather didn't affect the schedule, but the recent yak-shaving of transfer between old, newer, and newest computers really screwed it up. The last four files, starting at 39, are exactly the yakshave period.

Last week it looked like Persia was the next Inevitable Necessary Noble War to Spread Democracy. All the political demons of both "parties", and all the media demons of both "parties", were pushing harder and harder in screechy unison. BOMB PERSIA! KILL! KILL! KILL!

Then the Persian government speedily and efficiently ended the Sorosian protests. At that point you'd normally expect a massive multiplication of the warfever. How dare they OPPRESS our heroic Sorosian freedom fighters!!!!! We must obliterate the country NOW!!!!!!!!!!

Nope. The warfever simply halted. Vanished. I don't see any items about Persia in the usual Sorosian media like BBC or DW, nor in the news aggregators.

The only fresh item I can find is one piece in reliable neocon National Review, and it's fairly mild by Israeli standards.

War on Persia was pushed in parallel by Saudi and Israel, and US/UK/EU obeyed. Saudi has definitely changed direction as its new king turns more toward the Russia/China side. Bibi hasn't turned, but maybe he's losing credibility. With corruption charges piling up, are his servants deciding that he's not permanent enough to fight and die for?

  Carver vs Assange
Returning yet again to the biggest point of all:

LIFE IS PURPOSE.

What's the opposite of purpose? THEORY. Or principle, or ideology, or theology. Subspecies of the same class.

I was thinking of Carver as usual. He operated on PURPOSE, not theory. His purpose was to gain more economic power for his people. He worked toward that purpose by improving the crops that grew in the South, and trying to turn those crops into commercially useful products. I think he got sort of phase-locked on peanuts, which are harder to harvest and less efficient than other crops. He might have made more progress if he had LOOSENED his focus, but that's irrelevant to the main point.

Latest news on Assange shows the opposite. Assange operates on PRINCIPLE more than PURPOSE, and his principle often obstructs the purpose of his work. Never reveal a source is not a PURPOSE. The appropriate PURPOSE of an organization like Wikileaks would be Break monopolies of power. By refusing to reveal the source of the Clinton material he lost the chance to break the Clinton mob's power. Now he's endangering his own safety by favoring Catalunya over Spain. Even to an outsider, it was clear shortly after the first referendum that Catalunya is on the Soros side and Spain is on the non-Soros side. Assange is being protected by Ecuador, which is emphatically and proudly anti-Soros.

If Assange could focus on his PURPOSE, he would see that Ecuador is doing MORE to break monopolies of power than he is. He would gladly give up the principle ... or maybe just a feeling in this case .... that leads him to support Sorosian Catalunya.

Later: Aha. Ecuador managed to tame Assange's wild impulses with an appropriate carrot and stick. I'm glad. Assange is a vital part of God's campaign against Soros and other demons, but his fussy principles were interfering with the PURPOSE.

  Print file
After I got through with the stupid two-layer transfer between computers, the printer began making an awful noise. Sounded like a busted gear, ratcheting every time the carriage moved back and forth. I don't have much luck with printers, but just for completeness I opened up the back flap that lets you remove stuck paper.

The problem was IMMEDIATELY obvious:



Most graphics programs have a Print-File option on the menu, but this isn't what they mean!

How did it get there? After a bit of thought, this must be it....

I normally keep this box of miscellaneous desktop stuff above the computer.



Papers needed for quick reference, cables, USB drives for backup, two or three fingernail files to occupy my hands during long load times or whatever. Things I need to grab immediately and thoughtlessly.

But how did one of the files get into the printer?

During the transfers, I had two computers stacked on the spot where the box normally fits, and



the box was on top of the printer. I must have tossed the file toward the box and missed, bouncing the file into the printer's tray instead.

Maybe this is the first time I've succeeded in solving a printer problem? Remains to be seen.

And of course, this is yet another yakshave.

  Taming Win 10, maybe
Been trying all the hints available online to tame the full-time 100% CPU and 100% disk activity of vile foul Windows 10. Two hints made a big difference. After applying BOTH of these, the activity is finally close to normal** computer behavior. One is Superfetch and the other is Diagtrack.

Both of these are OFFICIALLY REQUIRED FORCED MALWARE THAT YOU ARE FORCED TO PAY FOR. Both occupy the computer so fully that the lowly User can only grab an occasional CPU cycle, and both are reporting the lowly User's heretical activities back to Microsoft. That's MALWARE by any definition. With both turned off, the disk and CPU are closer to normal behavior but still noticeably more active than in Win 7.

The turnoff procedures (using services.msc) APPEAR to be holding after 24 hours. Other turnoffs via the task manager didn't last; the malware came roaring back after a few minutes.

Some of the online discussions say that you shouldn't turn off Superfetch on a physical HDD, but the performance is unquestionably BETTER since turning it off.

If these fixes don't hold, I'll trash this computer and return to my old Win 7 unit. Unshave the yak. I figured out that its audio didn't go bad after all; it was just a bad solder joint in one of my speakers. The old unit has one or two other problems that don't matter much by comparison with TOTAL MALWARE that prevents me from USING MY OWN FUCKING COMPUTER.

Maybe I can figure a way to transfer the Win 7 system and license to the newer computer.

  Nice contrast
Excellent paired example of good and bad scientific thinking in a little feature on a new Mars observation.

The rover has spotted some small branching tube-like structures, about a half inch long. To my eyes they suggest earthworm casts, or perhaps semi-structured colonial organisms like algae or coral. I can't think of an inorganic process that makes such shapes.

One of the quoted scientists has a proper Carverian approach:

But on first view of the features, Lee said that as a field geologist, "the immediate thought that came to my mind is bioturbation." This is the process through which organisms living in sediments can disturb the structure of these sediments.

"A common example of bioturbation is the formation of worm burrows. The burrows, once refilled with sediments, fossilized and then exposed by erosion, can end up looking like wiggly sticks," Lee told Inside Outer Space.

See what you see, try to compare it and pattern it. No initial assumptions. Carver.

Another shows classic theorigenic blindness:

"Cool, looks like bioturbation and would likely be as such identified if the image would be from Earth," said Schulze-Makuch. "But concretions can look quite similar, and, in [the] case of Mars, it's … more likely concretions," he added, referring to formations of precipitated minerals.

It's from Mars, therefore it can't be life. Theorigenic blindness, aka prejudice.

See also theories vs patents.

= = = = =

Later: Come to think of it, those shapes DO remind me of something inorganic:



Ceramic and stone pipes made by the Kiowa and Kansa tribes. Maybe the old Martian tribes had their own miniature version of tobacco.



= = = = =

Random semi-related semi-thought: Archeologists have often tried to reproduce ancient beer recipes based on chemical analysis of remnants in jugs and bottles. The above pipes are described as containing remnants of tobacco, but I can't find any similar attempts to reproduce the Kansa blend or the Osage blend. Tobacco is CRIMETHINK because it kills you slowly and improves your thinking. Alcohol is WONDERFUL because it kills you fast and ruins your brain long before it kills you. This is logical by definition.

Finally pinned down a point that has been semiconsciously itching me for a while.

RT does what it's supposed to do. RT tries to weaken Russia's enemies. It serves the nation where it lives, which is what an international propaganda source is meant to do. Each nation that can afford such a source does the same.

Nature likes it this way. Each creature minding its own business, trying to weaken and confuse and deter its opponents so it doesn't have to fight them.

But an ethnic Russian news source could actually help Americans. A Russian writer who had lived through the Stalin and Khrushchev times could teach us how to preserve our sanity in a crazy tyranny.

Orlov provided the 'old testament', the basic guidelines, for this approach, but he isn't writing a daily news analysis.

  Two translations
I'm terminally tired of "conservatives" quoting Madman Lincoln without observing ANY of the fucking facts, and I'm even more terminally tired of all sides treating a permanent fact as a condition in the future which we could avoid by picking the right party.

Latest example of both in a subhead of a ZH article:

This is no longer a government “of the people, by the people, for the people...It is fast becoming a government “of the rich, by the elite, for the corporations,”

In the first place, it was NEVER a government by the people. Wasn't meant to be.

In the second place, a condition that has always existed doesn't have a chance of becoming anything, because it already exists. If you don't elect me, the earth might become round! If you don't elect me, dogs might become mammals!

Lincoln knew exactly what he meant and his bosses knew exactly what he meant. He was talking about two different peoples, and his intended audience understood the distinction. How do I know this? Because the standard comprehension of this statement makes no fucking sense at all. Madman Lincoln was finishing up a war with the SPECIFIC AND EXPLICIT AND SOLE PURPOSE of eliminating self-determination. He was guaranteeing that government BY the ordinary people would vanish forever.

Remember: Madman Lincoln belonged to NYC. He worked for the Wall Street railroad barons, just as Obama and Hillary and Trump work for the Wall Street tech barons. Tech = railroad. Different centuries, same monopolists. Madman Lincoln was selected because NYC needed to eliminate a competing form of employment so it could get away with near-zero wages and precisely zero security. Then and now, NYC wanted free labor. When NYC talks about freedom, it ALWAYS means freedom for NYC to work you to death and pay you nothing. You work for free.

Lincoln meant:

...that government of the Deplorables by the Insatiables and for the Insatiables shall never perish...

= = = = =

A similar translation applies to a puzzling modern speech. Hillary's basket of Deplorables is an oddly quaint phrase, out of character. Hillary is a stupid drunken thug. Low-intelligence alcoholic brutes like Hillary express their emotions by killing people and throwing things. That's all she does.

Her speechwriters rarely venture into poetic flourishes because they understand the character of their boss and they prefer to stay out of the hospital and the grave.

Well, why the basket? Again NYC explains it. Hillary was talking to an audience of LGBT, which is another way of saying Wall Street. When Wall Street hears basket it understands basket of currencies or basket of future option put call third-order directional tranche indices. A basket is a mashup of numbers that can be fraudulently securitized or shorted or called or futured or optioned or indexed to make quadrillions and quadrillions and quadrillions of criminal dollars.

So Hillary was making an IDO, an Initial Deplorable Offering. She was promising to run the same sort of pogrom that her psychotic Illinois ancestor had run. She was promising to exterminate all those pesky non-traders who thrive on MAKING THINGS. Wall Street doesn't understand MAKING THINGS but it does understand that MAKING is the permanent enemy of share value.

Wall Street was paying the thug for inside information that would enable them to frontrun the pogrom. Short every company that serves Deplorables, long SOROS.

** Language footnote: Of the people is also universally misinterpreted, but this is a trivial and understandable fault. We normally take government of the people to mean government that consists of the people.

Schematizing to remove confusion:

Government of X by Y for Z.

Now you can see the proper meaning of the first phrase.

Refactoring with the help of Professor Polistra:



Y is governing X for the benefit of Z.

For Lincoln, X = commoners who were disobeying DC and needed to be slaughtered. Y = DC. Z = NYC.

  Wish fulfilled, sorta
Five years ago I wrote up the remarkably ETERNAL nickel-iron battery which had been an Edison specialty. I cited a story about an off-grid power system built in 1924 using NiFe batteries, which was still running 80 years later when the family that owned the place finally sold it. The batteries had never been replaced, were just barely maintained, and were going strong after 80 years.

At that time I checked to see if anyone was still making NiFe batteries. Only a dubious company in China and (of course) Russia. I wished for an American producer but had zero hope.

Wish fulfilled! This company based in Colorado has started making NiFe again, using the 'Iron Edison' brand name.

Immediate thought: I want to give them some business! Could I buy a battery for use in electronic experimenting? Unfortunately not. The batteries are aimed exclusively at the same type of off-grid usage as before. The smallest one is equivalent to ten car batteries and is priced at $1000.

Excellent price for the purpose. Ten car batteries would run about $1200 and would last only four years instead of 80.

Even though it's out of my range, I'm HAPPY to see that NiFe is back!

Now if a smart entrepreneur would start making cheap little electric cars aimed at the PROPER PURPOSE of electric cars (in-town runabouts), equipped with safe permanent non-toxic NiFe instead of the short-lived explosive lithium, I'd buy one.

  Can't be that dumb 2
This goes beyond all considerations of "unintended consequences". Sessions has pulled back an Obama policy that winked at states legalizing pot. It wasn't much of a wink, because ATF and IRS and banking regulators were still firmly and actively opposing pot while nearly all states legalized it to varying extents. Now the wink is officially gone.

Fantastically stupid in terms of plain partisan politics. Many of the legalized states are solidly Repooflican, and their politicians will now join the demon states like Wash and Calif in moving toward secession. The Trump admin will lose the support of a dozen state political machines.

In the long run, and perhaps guided by the hand of God, this is a beautiful thing. USA STRONG needs to be busted up, returning to a loose confederation. NYC and DC need to be removed from the universe so they can NEVER regrow.

Madman Lincoln's permanent unbreakable crime lasted much longer than an infinitely wicked criminal empire deserves to last. It was held together by ferocious brute force that constantly accelerated.

Time to bust it up.

  On the dot, Mufti. Where are the others?
Via BBC: Egypt's main Islamic leader issues a fatwa against Bitcoin.

Sheikh Shawki Allam, the Grand Mutfi, said the digital crypto-currency carried risks of "fraudulence, lack of knowledge, and cheating".

The Grand Mufti said risks could arise because the virtual currency was not subject to surveillance by any centralised authority. "Bitcoin is forbidden in Sharia as it causes harm to individuals, groups and institutions," the fatwa said, as reported by Egyptian daily Ahram

In August 2017, Egypt's first bitcoin exchange was opened. The crypto-currency was declared illegitimate by the authorities last month.

Precisely right, Mufti. "Harm to individuals, groups and society" is the key point that nobody else has dared to speak.

Natural Law is crystal clear on speculations and gambling of all sorts. Value comes from labor. Wagers are permissible ONLY if they are specific investments leading to more real production. More life, more value, more beauty. Investing in a farm or factory and receiving part of the profits is a good use of money, but ONLY if you are taking the risk of losing your investment when the farm fails.

Bitcoin is worse than previous bubbles because it doesn't even PRETEND to be based on real value. Tulips and houses and grain and gold have real uses or real beauty. They fulfill a purpose. The trading loses sight of the original purpose, but occasionally helps to develop a resource.

Bitcoin has exactly zero purpose. The "mining" process consumes VAST quantities of electricity. What does it yield? Precisely nothing except a "solution" to a set of calculations that didn't need to be calculated.

If the calculations were done as a service for a real business, such as optimizing routes or trying out chemical formulas, they would represent real value and would be worth whatever the business wanted to pay for the service. I'm pretty sure no business would pay $15k for a few hours of heavy calculation.

But the calculations are EXPLICITLY POINTLESS..... unless, of course, Bitcoin's real boss is simply farming out its own decryption math without paying for the service. Supposedly these calcs are related to cryptography, which is NSA's business.

The worst harm is the waste of power. "Miners" often operate in countries where electricity is sparse. They use up MASSIVE AMOUNTS of coal or oil or natural gas that would otherwise serve NON-CRIMINAL purposes.

= = = = =

Where are the other religious leaders? Google doesn't find anything for "pope bitcoin" or "archbishop bitcoin". "Buddhist bitcoin" leads to this item about a set of fashionable Western Buddhists who claim that they are using blockchain to boost Buddhism in some way that doesn't even make superficial sense. In other words, just another fraud.

If Antichrist Bergoglio really meant ANY of the toxin he spews, he would be issuing an edict similar to the Mufti's fatwa. Bergoglio claims to be on the side of the poor, claims to be pro-life. Like all pure speculations, Bitcoin harms the poor above all. The harm is specific and quantifiable as loss of electric power. If Bergoglio meant any of his screeching about "global warming" he'd put out an infallible encyclical against Bitcoin, the fastest-growing consumer of coal.

= = = = =

Later: Checked the rapture visionaries on Youtube. These folks tend to be closer to God than anyone else in the West. Mixed results. Some are treating Bitcoin as a mark of the beast; others are trying to horn in on the trading by using Rapture as a brand, just like the abovementioned Buddhists. You want a MARK? You want a standard measurement or assay to distinguish God from Beast? There it is.

Later again: I'm surprised Babylon Bee hasn't done a parody on the subject. First Baptist Church changes its sign to First Blockchain Church, gets $10 billion in new tithes....

  Se-lu 20, Tinkertoy edition
The new Dell Inspiron makes a new kind of noise which requires a new solution. The old Inspiron mostly emitted an 8k squeal that formed beat patterns with my tinnitus. The solution required odd placements of acoustic foam to halt reflections of sound, not direct sound.

The new one doesn't squeal. It rumbles. Win 10 keeps the HDD running most of the time. I'm continuing to turn off unnecessary shit, but the unnecessary shit keeps coming back. The Windows nanny state knows what's good for you and unrelentingly does what's good for you whether you want it or not. Nurse Ratched on crack.

After several days of LOOSENING MYSELF and trying various things, I determined that foam UNDER the computer helped somewhat but not enough. Underfoam keeps the rumble out of the desk but doesn't stop the metal case of the computer.

The solution requires major pressure on the case to damp the resonances.



Foam on top, forced down by a couple of Tinkertoy pieces wedged under the upper shelf of the desk. Looks silly, but I'm the only one who has to see it, and I'm not bothered by visual inputs. Only acoustic inputs.

  Can't be that dumb.
One of Polistra's Laws: There's no such thing as an Unintended Consequence. Powerful people and governments know what they're doing. You won't always see what they're doing because you're only supposed to see the parts that drive you to perform your assigned task, which may be "voting" or protesting or donating money.

Still, sometimes you have to wonder....

The latest crackdown on truth by Krauts seems to be fantastically stupid and pointless. The Kraut dysgovernment now requires publishers to eliminate heresy IMMEDIATELY on the receipt of EVEN ONE COMPLAINT.

This rule will be remarkably easy to destroy. If heretics have any sense at all, they will work together to submit massive piles of complaints against orthodox speech, and more importantly against trivial and uncontroversial speech. Snitch on Sorosians, snitch on Kardashians.

Because the publishers have to respond INSTANTLY, they won't be able to analyze the direction of the complaints. They will have to eliminate the orthodox and trivial comments along with the heretical comments that will be algomatically censored.

Result: No speech at all. Nothing to carry advertising to eyeballs.

INQUISITIONS END WHEN THEY BURN THE WRONG PEOPLE.

This countertactic is so absurdly obvious that I can't believe the dysgovernment didn't foresee it. There must be a countercounter. I guess we'll see it when it happens.

= = = = =

Well, that didn't take long. Later the same day, the mess is already starting ... even without any effort by heretics! A sane German politician made a harsh comment about Muslims. Overgeneralized but basically valid in the context of the forced migration. Twitter instantly deleted the politician's account as the law requires. Nobody complained. A Kraut "satire" magazine, following the universal tradition of "satire" by burning heretics in especially colorful flames, requoted the original comment as part of the colorful flames. Twitter automatically banned the magazine as the law requires. Now the rule-makers are worried. Needless to say, they're not worried about their own tyranny, and they're not worried about their own forced invasion by foreign migrants violating Kraut laws, which caused victims of migrant crime to express anger. They're worried because Twitter is a foreign invader who obeys Kraut laws. Can't make it up.

  Spiritual metrology 2
Continuing the theme of spiritual metrology...



Note how she keeps a lab notebook with precise times of dreams and visions, and tries to keep track of constants and variables. Always asking how this new item fits with the experimental record of the Bible.

Carver: Look about you. Take hold of the things that are here. Talk to them. Let them talk to you.

THINGS THAT ARE HERE includes direct sensory observation of phenomena that may not be instrumentally measurable. Lack of instruments doesn't mean nonexistent, and doesn't justify dismissal or sloppiness. Many of the measurements we now call "scientific" were uninstrumented for many centuries.

This lady is doing better science than any "social" "scientist" by a LONG shot.

  Which came first?
I like to be surprised by which-first questions, but this one was a true stunner.

Which came first, LCD television or incandescent light bulbs?

LCD television, by 5 years.

Which came first, LCD television or motion pictures?

LCD television, by 30 years.

Which came first, television or telephone?

LCD television, but probably too close to call. (heh)


From British Practical Electronics, June 68:



Note that the matrix was controlled by using the magnet to rotate polarized light.

These developments were in the 1870-1877 range. Bell's telephone patent was 1876, Edison's incandescent was 1882. TV came first.

Why didn't this development proceed? Mostly because of bandwidth. You'd need thousands of wires in parallel to carry a usable picture this way. Multiplex telegraphs were already practical, and in fact Bell was working on a frequency-based multiplexer when he detoured into the telephone. But higher frequencies, and precise sequencing of signals. had to wait for true electronics with tubes.

  Googlestreet is a time machine
After getting my daily chuckle from the 11foot8 bridge, I wondered: What's the LOWEST underpass on a public road open to cars? Needless to say, there's a long discussion of the topic on a Roads forum. The most impressive entries are in Europe, including a couple in the 5 foot range that hold only low sedans. Not even tall enough for an adult walker.

I remembered a 7-footer under the Turnpike in Lawrence, but Googlestreet shows that it has been replaced by a bridge over the Turnpike. Enid has one constant truck-catcher on East Maine. Checked it with Googlestreet:



Yup, still there. Moving in closer to read the clearance sign:



WAIT. What just happened?

Moved back and forth several times to be sure. Apparently Googlestreet mixes views from different years into the overall stream. The view from a block away is earlier. When the closer view was taken, somebody had given the bridge a self-explanatory emoticon!

Nice work. As I've noted before, Enid has avoided the small-town fade by maintaining a variety of industries. It's no longer a refining town, and the grain elevators are mostly empty (SIN!) but it holds onto oil service and farm service and most of all the Air Force base. Enid has a thriving civic culture, which shows up in museums and public artworks like this one.

Incidentally, it's 11'4. Slightly lower than the famous truck-eater but not dramatic. Spokane has several truck-eaters in the 11 range just south of downtown.

  A new Manhattan Project.
Polistra thinks it's time for a new Manhattan Project. Or rather a Project Manhattan. A vast secret enterprise designing a method to project NYC out of the universe.



Push it out of the earth, accelerate it beyond the solar system, guide it to the nearest black hole where it can be handed to some other universe.

Since the very start, NYC has been the enemy of civilization, the enemy of Natural Law, the enemy of the universe. NYC has been the center of destruction aimed against Deplorables of all eras. The Insatiables of NYC have switched ethnicity over the centuries. First Dutch, then English, then Jewish, now transitioning to Hindu. Always trader types, always exterminating the non-traders, the building and fixing and praying people. The 1776 revolution broke down natural Parliamentary rule and common law, replacing them by insane theories. Madman Lincoln's war eliminated secure lifetime employment for farmer and mechanic types, replacing it by disposable "liberty". 1929 and 2008, among many other bubbles, exterminated the skills and lives of farmers and mechanics.

Every time the non-traders had a chance for security and peace and prosperity, NYC's Insatiables came along and smashed everything.

Revenge is precisely 400 years overdue. Project Manhattan!

  Metashaving a metayak
Quora.com was discussing the concept of shaving a yak. The original story is worth reading if it's not familiar.

I've been running through a classic yakshave this month.

The process started with a real failure of my old computer. Its audio and USB sections have grown flakier over time, and the audio finally gave up entirely. Luckily I had already bought a "new" refurbished Dell Optiplex, so I went through the messy procedure of transferring stuff.

After a week or so the "new" Optiplex turned out to be even worse than the original Inspiron. I bumped into a real obstacle in my real courseware work: I needed to make a model of the insula to illustrate how the insula hides behind the temporal lobe. The "new" Optiplex didn't have the right OpenGL drivers to serve the various graphics programs, so I had to restart the old computer, make the model, and transfer the resulting image to the "new" Optiplex. The "new" machine then showed other faults, including a failed CD drive.

If I had been simply screwing around, this inconvenience might have been OK. But I'm doing real work this year, a real project with real deadlines. So I ordered a genuinely NEW Dell Inspiron, and spent another day or so transferring and setting up. Now the graphics stuff works, and I'm able to move forward again.

When I read the yak story on Quora this morning, I decided to illustrate it, since I've gone way too long without showing Polistra and friends. Start the new year right and all that.



As I built this image I was cooking ramen in the kitchen. The ramen started boiling, so I got up quickly to stir it and then eat it.

When I returned from eating, the monitor was BLACK. Tried wiggling all the cords, shut down and restarted, still BLACK. No pilot light, no nothing.

SHIT! WHAT THE FUCK AM I GOING TO DO? Without a monitor the whole computer is useless.

Finally I realized: The monitor has a nearly invisible touch-switch in the plastic border, and I must have bumped it as I was getting up suddenly to tend the ramen. Touched it again, and monitor turned on. (I never use the switch, so it wasn't on top of mind, especially in OH SHIT mode.)

This led to an important thought: What will I do when the monitor ACTUALLY fails? So I quickly ordered a small auxiliary monitor to keep in storage against such an emergency.

The last action happened because I was absorbed in illustrating the story of shaving a yak. It didn't happen as part of the process of shaving a yak. So it's metashaving a metayak.
