Science Wednesday V

There is one celestial object, who's name just seems to capture the imagination of anyone who hears it. That name is Black Hole.


A black hole, as you probably know, is a spot on\in the fabric of the cosmos that is so heavy, resulting in gravity that is so strong, that not even light can escape its clutches once under its influence. In fact, should you be unlucky enough to fall under its effects, the more you struggle to get away, the faster you would fall in.


I found a podcast over at Universe Today that really has some fascinating information about Black Holes. Since they explain them better than I could, I'll just send you there..


Enjoy.

Wuss of the Week 1-29

In this weeks edition of Wuss of the Week, we have a first, A twofer. So without further ado, this weeks Wusses of the Week are... U.S. Capitol Police Chief Phillip Morse and Deputy Chief Daniel Nichols.

These two are tasked with protecting the Capitol Building, but should be tasked with rating shows on the Hallmark Channel ( Uterus Network)

At this weekends War Protest, these two were in charge. They ORDERED their officers to pull back so that a sect of the unwashed protesters could spray paint anti-war/US slogans onto the Capitol Building, instead of beating the ever loving shit out of said protesters bent on confrontation.

Here is a quote from sources at the scene.. (From The Hill.com)

Anti-war protesters were allowed to spray paint on part of the west front steps of the United States Capitol building after police were ordered to break their security line by their leadership, two sources told The Hill.

According to the sources, police officers were livid when they were told to fall back by U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) Chief Phillip Morse and Deputy Chief Daniel Nichols. "They were the commanders on the scene," one source said, who requested anonymity. "It was disgusting."

Good grief. I am speechless..

Hopefully these two fine liberal sympathizing fucktards will be looking for work soon, but probably not. With the climate in D.C., they would have been fired if they had done the right thing, which was to send these macrame weaving, hemp sandal wearing, anti-American pieces of shit back to Berkley, sporting cuts and contusions administered by oak batons.

My guess is that this is some new "touchy-feely" directive handed down from on high. IF the two wusses had a single gonad between them, that is one order that would have been ignored!

Congratulations chief's Morse and Nichols, your in the early lead for Wusses of the Year..


UPDATE: After I posted this, I saw that several otherss had posted about it. If I would have known, I'd have chose another WOW candidate.

Awesome Read

Get the over to Andi's world for a powerful post about current war sentiment. The best I have read in a while..

Also, with Hanoi Jane standing triumphantly in D.C. again, libtards spitting on our returning troops can not be far off can it???

If that top picture doesn't chap your ass, you need a good hard kick to the gut..

Just wondering

Has it ever dawned on you that the same people who:

• Hate logging because it kills trees and hurts the environment
• Hate hunting because it hurts "defenseless animals"
• Hate the military because they break and kill things
  
• Protest BASS tournaments because they are hurting defenseless "wittle fishies"
• Protested the naked pyramids that were built in Guantanamo, so that we won't hurt bloodthirsty killers feelings, or their sense of self
  
• Want to de-fund the war because it is too violent against people who wish to kill us
  
• Hate Bush-Cheney-Halliburton because they are barbarians

are the same people that think it is just fine to induce labor on an 8 month pregnant woman, so that the doctor can shove a sharp ended tube into said baby's scull and scramble its brain??

That is just a choice they say.

I have heard and read a lot of moderates bitch and moan that it is "just so polarized" in this country right now. "I am sick of it" they complain.

I ask you, moderate, how can it not be??

With daily attacks on everything that is decent (not Holy mind you, just decent) by the secular left, people of good conscience are yelling back in greater numbers. The libtard media is just not the only voice now..

It has always been this polarized, and had you ever bothered to take a look around, you would have seen that.


That is all...

Facing Reality

How many times have you heard, "Its going to take another 9-11 to wake up these liberals and pacifist to reality."?

I disagree. There is nothing that will teach those unwilling to learn.

It's time those of us who realize the danger to face reality. Forty percent of us (libtards) would let this country fall, another forty percent would fight, and the middle 20 percent are fickle, and would let their local environment dictate their feelings and response..

The cowardly forty percent do not bother me that much. You'll know whom you cannot count on, because they are incapable of keeping their mouth shut about their beliefs. Their moronic behavior makes them stick out, so you can see them coming. You know, like kill a human to save a tree or a fur bearing critter.. PETA fucktards call your office..

The ones that worry me are the middle twenty percent. They are a shifty bunch, and can be surmised as "they believe in nothing, so they will fall for anything." The ones of the middle twenty that live in the metropolises, where the majority of the pussifist live, will hide in their holes with the rest of the cowards.

So the reality is that forty to forty-two percent of this country will have to defend it someday while the majority await the outcome. Bank on it!

Sobering..

Science Wednesday IV

For this weeks edition of Science Wednesday, I am going to change gears a little. This week, I am going to focus on computing.

I like reading about the latest breakthroughs in computing tech, and a major one was released this week.

I won’t try to re-invent the wheel here, so go here to read about it.

To entice, if this technology comes to fruition, you could story the sum of human history and discovery in something the size of a thermos. Pretty freaking cool!!!

Enjoy.

That is all…

Wuss of the Week 1-22

For this weeks edition of Wuss of the Week, my selection is: Robert Redford

Redford's Sundance Libtard Film Festival is being held as of this writing (I think) and one of the screenings was for a Bestiality apologist film.. You can read the sickening review where a fellow liberal piece of excrement is fawning all over the groundbreaking film..

Is there anything that is taboo to a libtard?? Apparently not..

Anyway, Redford puts this thing on and I am sure that he could have vetoed this film showing. But he didn't want to stand up to raving libtard left I guess.

And for that, Sundance Kid, you are this weeks Wuss of the Week.

Thursday Range Bag V

In this installment of the Thursday Range Bag, I’d like to talk about a cartridge that has flown under the radar of most shooters, but is getting a groundswell of support from hunters and bench-shooters alike. That usually spells cha-ching for the manufacturers.. A friend in the know tells me that this is Weatherby’s best seller now..

The cartridge is the .30-378 magnum. As the name tells us, it is a thirty caliber bullet in a necked down .378 Weatherby magnum case.

Here is a pic for comparison. The .30-378 is on the right, .30-06 in the center, and a 7mm STW on the left

There are reports of extremely long and extremely effective shots on deer and other hill dwellers in the western part of the country. Word has it that hand loaders are putting 110 grain bullets over 120 grains of slow burning powder in that cavernous case, and getting 4000 feet per second muzzle readings. Its also dropping whatever critter it hits instantly out to 800 yards..

There is also a large contingent of bench shooters that have adapted this cartridge in the 1000 yard competitions. If they are getting that kind of velocity with the inherently accurate .30 caliber bullet, I bet that these reports are accurate, pardon the pun.

I have shot a .378 Weatherby Magnum, and for reference, it kicked about like a 7mm ultra mag, or a little more that a .300 ultra mag. Or to say it better, the fillings in my teeth hurt for a day or two after firing either of the above offhand.

So for me, unless I am heading out west, I cannot see me needing this in my safe, but damn, it sure is freaking cool.

In closing this thought, if the throat in any rifle of this caliber has the slightest scratch or machining mark on it, erosion would definitely start early. I’d double check the throat of any rifle I bought in this caliber to ensure that the throat is polished to a mirror shine. I guess that goes for any firearm in the monster magnum family though.

Second and lastly, to get the best out of this round, hand loading is a must, as is a 30 inch barrel. Factory rounds are 165 grains or above, so the little screamers are out of reach if you cannot hand load..

Here is some ballistic info on the cartridge.. The lighter bullets are not mentioned here though..

That is all...

Science Wednesday III

Have you read anything lately about an astronomer or scientist discovering a new planet around a distant star and thought that it would be cool to do just that?? Guess what, you can help!!!

You don't need any fancy observation equipment, or a supercomputer either. All you need is what you have right in your face. If you are reading this, you have the tools necessary to help discover worlds revolving around distant stars. How cool is that??

Go to this site, read up on the project, and download their java widget to get started. I haven't read everything about it, but plan to soon. If you do so before I post about it again, please let me know what you find out.

Here is a brief excerpt from their info page:

Latest update: January 12, 2007

If you’re interested in extrasolar planets, this site is for you.

The near-term goal of the systemic research collaboration is to improve our statistical understanding of the galactic planetary census. This will be accomplished through a large-scale simulation in which the public is invited to participate. No prior experience or expertise with Astronomy is required. All you need is an Internet connection and a desire to learn and explore.

Why the big three suck

Is there anything dumber that new car shows or concept shows?? I mean I love a cool ride as much as the next guy, but what is the freaking point??

Here is a tip for you morons running Ford and Chevy. If your going to spend a bajillion dollars to build one of these concept cars, why not produce something that even remotely resembles it and sell them..

Usually you see this at the show...










But this is what ends up at the showroom...







And the morons at Chevy are as guilty as the fools at Ford

See This








But you get this at the showroom...






Then you retards wonder why your getting your asses handed to you year in and year out. Its all about quality and style, and right now your 3rd place in each, at best. Change it, or be gone.

While talking about old style manufacturers, Dan Akroyd's character "Zalinski" said in the movie Tommyboy, "Sure its sad to carry the old pooch out back and bash him in the head with a shovel, but that's life kid."

The American Consumer has the shovel in its hands, and is waking toward you. What are you going to do? Roll over and die, or Fight for your survival?

Build something that looks good while lasting 200,000 miles, or quit.

Impossible?? Not hardly. My fourth Maxima in a row just cracked 200,000. Not a one has had a wrench turned on it. Well, the first one did have a cracked head at 275,000 miles, but with a little JB Weld, it lasted me another 15,000. I sold it to a friend, and he drove it for another 18 months before he sold it..

I also had a Lumina in there as well. It started having bad trouble around 80,000, and was nearly dead at 100,000.

I'd love to be able to buy American cars, I would. But Momma didn't raise no fool. With my cost per mile being about 1/2 to 1/3 less with a foreign car, well, your making my choice easy.

It took the Japanese about 20 years to get the reputation they have. I'd say you guys have about half that or less to get your act's together.... Or get bashed..

Just Deserts

Has there ever been a lower, scum sucking individual serving in congress than Harry Reed? I get physically sick every time I see him speaking on TV.

That two faced SOB would like nothing better than for America to loose in Iraq, and come home with its tail between it legs. His only barometer for judging a situation is “What is Bush’s position?” He then takes the opposite approach..

When did Dumbocrats stance become “oppose everything Bush says, no matter what it is.” If he says the sky is blue, a libtard is looking for a microphone to speak out against it..

Look at the Iraq proposal for instance. 6 months ago, Nancy Pelosi herself said that the troop levels needed to be higher on Meet the Press. Now it mysteriously needs to be lower Queen Botox??

And speaking of Nancy, if she gets one more face lift, chances are she’ll be sporting a nice goatee. That’s not a cleft in her chin now, it’s her naval.

Well, fellow Americans, you voted these disgusting, anti-American, power hungry, pieces of shit into power. When these things happen, you have no one to blame but yourselves:

• Your weekly check from work is thirty to forty dollars shorter because of increased taxes.
• A gallon of gas is $3.25 a gallon from increased taxes on oil companies.
• Your burger for lunch goes up 45 cents because of minimum wage increases
• The interest rate on your credit card and 2^nd mortgage goes up a full percentage point, as these things raise wholesale inflation, and the fed raises rates to battle it.
• The economy tanks from all these pressures.
• A fresh set of attacks on gun owners and the manufacturers of guns and ammo starts in congress

Remember, if you are a moderate conservative or a libertarian, and voted Dhimm to punish the stooped party, then you only have yourself to blame.. Although Repubs made it easy to do, the fault lies in the lever pullers in my book!

If you do not think that the Dems are trying to wreck the economy for political gain in ‘08, then you are an idiot. You bought the line of shit they were selling in ’06, and are probably dumb enough to buy it again in ’08.

Arrr criminey, is it too early for a beer??

That is all..

Thursday Range Bag IV

I don't think that I'll get to much of an argument that the shotgun is ultimate home defense weapon. And if you don't agree with it, then well, your wrong...

What can be debated , is brand and configuration. In the very first Range Bag installment, I showed you my set up, and after mentioning it in a different post, I was asked to post a picture of it, and tell a little about it.

I call it my "assault shotgun", because every time I have shown it to someone that doesn't shoot, they have mentioned how mean that it looks.. A couple of liberal wussies probably wet their pants, but I couldn't verify it..



So without further ado, here it is..








It is a Mossberg 500, originally equipped with a cruiser grip, 8 round magazine, and an 18.5 inch barrel with a heat shield. In that configuration, well lets just say, shooting it wasn't fun. The first and last time I shot it with the original cruiser handle, a 3 inch #4 turkey load nearly broke my wrist, and I have pretty strong wrist.

So instead of adding a standard stock to it. I put in an order to Knoxx Industries for one of their recoil absorbing stocks.

This version had the flip down shoulder stock, so it maintained the short profile for close quarters movement. I feel that this is the number 1 feature that my shotgun offers. In halls or closets, you can move with ease, and if you need better long range accuracy, you can deploy the shoulder bar in less that a second.

The recoil absorption is so impressive that you can fire a 3 inch magnum 1 ounce slug, one handed, and barely tell you have shot anything stronger than a .357 revolver.



The only other mods I have done to it is to polish the slide arms and rails. The "slickety slack" of the pump is buttah I tell ya, and can be cycled one handed as well. I do have a drop grip, a la ar15, which completes that upgrades.

So for a total of about 315.00 I have what I consider the best home defense set up that you can buy. If you have anything better, I'd definitely love to hear about it..

Well there you are Jimmy B, my assault shotgun...

Mobile Blogging

SWEET!!!

Blogger Beta will finally work with the browser on my Ipaq Pocket PC. Now I can post anywhere I have a cellular connection. Technology is AWESOME!!

More later, brews await..

Science Wednesday II

The other day over at Mind over Blather, Taylor had a good post about time, and how nothing that she new of happened instantaneous. So I recommended a site that pretty well explains Quantum Physics in layman's terms and talks about something that happens that fast.

Since I intend on doing a Science Wednesday post every week or two, and my favorite subject will be Quantum Physics, if you think you might want to follow along, but don't really know a lot about it, here is the sight for your reading pleasure.

Click Here

It drags in a couple of places, but I promise that by the end of it (10 minutes) you will have a good basic understanding of Quantum terminology and some of the more intriguing aspects of the discipline.

Next week we will be talking about Quantum Entanglement, and the effect Einstein called "spooky."

Hint: An effect that travels at faster than the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) which the famous equation E=MC2 says in not possible. But it happens none the less..

Words of Wisdom

Overheard at the Home Improvement Labyrinth earlier today..

Woman - "Boy, I sure do love the look of that crown molding. Do you think that would look good in the living room??"

Man - "Good grief, we've been here an hour and a half, and all we've picked out is a freaking box of nails!!"

Hee hee... Been there, done that..

Today, I spent about about 2 hours picking out a stud finder, and a tarp. Then I heard the above gentleman, and I realized it was about 1 hour and 45 minutes to long for the trip to the maze to have lasted.

So I resolved to do the following:


When going to any flavor of the Home Improvement bulwarks, have a plan.. You can spend days in there just picking out a lag bolt!!!

Also, when you first think that a product fits your needs and budget, grab it and go!!!

Lastly, ask where stuff is located before spending 45 minutes looking up and down the isles for it.

The 2 hours you save are more valuable than the $1.35 you might pocket. And if you can avoid seeing Harvey the plumbers ass-crack on isle 17 even once, these rules will have paid off BIG TIME
