Dear KMAG: 20200907 Open Topic

This Labor Day Stormwatch Monday Open Thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KMAG/KAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

Yes, it’s Monday…again.

But it’s okay! It’s a Holiday!

You can go back to bed:

Or have a nap:

Free Speech is practiced here at the Q Tree. But please keep it civil.
Discussion of Q is not only allowed but encouraged. Imagine that! We can talk about Q here and not get banned.

Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.

Our President is fighting for us night and day…please pray for him.

This year, Labor Day is at a time when our country is trying to get back to work.

America wants to work. And we don’t want to have to wear a mask to do it.

NoMask

Let’s get back to when it was No Mask Required!

Wheatie’s Word of the Day:

Facinorous

‘Facinorous’ is an adjective which means…atrociously wicked, vile or sinister.

Used in a sentence:

The child trafficking rings are finally being busted and taken down…along with the facinorous pedophiles who have been doing unspeakable things to our children.

Glad you’re back, Wheatie!

cthulhu

Is this just some random occurrence (in which case, it’d be nice to know which ISP to scrupulously avoid), or is it due to local events (which might serve as a cautionary tale)?

cthulhu

Hmmm….I’m currently on AT&T internet — and ComCast tried to charge me THREE DIFFERENT TIMES over the course of seven months for their outdated crud equipment — for which I had a receipt from their service center.
About four months after THAT, a guy was going door-to-door to have people switch to ComCast. I told him that the reason it was a surprisingly hard sell is because their back-end are crooks — and gave examples and receipts.

cthulhu

Sorry, my exposition neglected to mention — I switched to the current AT&T setup after having been a ComCast customer for some years, after having been an AT&T customer. The space above the coats in my entry-hall coat closet is a miniature data center, and I can route anything from the drop to anywhere in the house (and back) up there — so switching is no big deal. So, AT&T came up with a great deal and I decided to switch…..and ComCast decided to be massive jerks and claim I’d stolen their useless outdated hardware (my internal hardware is gigabit). Then they hire some poor guy to go door-to-door and sell their “better” setup. Trying to bill me three times for obsolete hardware I’d already turned in kind-of poisons that opportunity.

Gudthots

I know of a fellow that has used the “we are older seniors and don’t use much data” line with both the local cable and fiber services. Somehow he has talked both of them into very low monthly rates. He uses them with a load balancing router so neither one sees big amounts of traffic on a typical day. And when one or the other goes out his home network never misses a beat.

Oh, heavens – Wheatie! No apologies necessary – Thank you for the thread and especially for your new word of the day. I have never heard of that before and I love it!
An update on voting laws here in Utah for all my Qtree friends – The state legislature just passed a new law this last week making ballot harvesting ILLEGAL in the state. We have had mail in voting for several years now. I personally spoke with our elections clerks on the procedures Utah employs – safety restrictions in place, etc. As far as I can tell, they have a very good process in place. I think for the general election, we will have the option to vote in person as well as in the past. But, I am heartened to hear that our legislature is being proactive in implementing legal guidelines as opposed to the assumption that ballot harvesting in the state was not permitted. I won’t go into detail about our mail in voting procedures because this post would be too long, but apparently, other state governments call Utah to understand our system and try to imitate it. I would urge each of you to call your own elections office and speak with them personally if you have any questions about regulations and procedures within your own state.

OW21

Wheatie – one of the systems in place here in Utah is that the post office never touches a single ballot. They are all put in special election ballot boxes, picked up and counted by election officials only. The post office never gets their hands on these ballots. Lots of other safeguards in place as well.

OW21

Wheatie – special scanning machines must match the signature on the completed ballot with the signature on the registered voter’s driver’s license. If the signatures don’t match, your vote doesn’t count… U.S. postal service has NOTHING to do with collection of ballots or counting – nothing. It is all done by the county election clerk and their staff. Ballots are deposited in special locked collection boxes – nothing to do with the postal service at all.

Teagan

Trying to understand what you are saying about mail clerks not touching…my concern is the mail person that picks up from your mailbox and can easily dump them before they teach the mail sorting area.
It’s heartening that at least SOME states are trying to address this.

patfrederick

maybe I’m reading it wrong, but it seems there are separate boxes for votes–you just don’t put them in the general mail…you have to put it in a ballot box to “mail it”…where it can only be accessed by election officials.

patfrederick

i thought there were separate ballot collection boxes–like a mail box but postal workers could not access it. you drop your ballot in there (like a mail box) and then election workers only have a key to open and retrieve them.
like a mail box without the post office being involved.
I could be totally wrong, but that would make sense and be more secure?

OW21

The ballots are deposited by each individual voter in a locked collection box that has nothing to do with the U.S. Postal service. Elections committee and their staff are the ONLY people that ever physically touch the ballots aside from the original registered voter who deposits it in the special locked election box. Ballots are mailed out ONLY to registered voters who have a current driver’s license. The signature on the DL is scanned by a special scanner. If it doesn’t match the voter’s signature on the returned and completed ballot, the voter is contacted and asked to come down and verify his signature. If the signatures don’t match, the vote is discarded. Several other security features in play as well.

Teagan

Sounds good!

Answering Pat’s post…I doubt very much the debt-ridden USPS would install millions of “election” boxes….and I’m equally sure the Post Master General would not approve such a thing. They might as well put up flashing red lights over such boxes that say…”destroy me!”
Thing is, if you have to go to the post office to put your ballot in a special slot…how is that different than voting in person? The whole idea was supposedly (!) to help those afraid of going outside because of COVID. You know, the same people that go to the grocery stores without any problems.
Maybe they should have secure ballot boxes in the grocery stores!

BlackKnightRides

Can’t see how your approach to dropping a ballot in a slot tracks Chain-of-Custody between 2 people.

New Jersey had them for the July 7th primary. I didn’t use one as my polling place is the borough hall across the street.comment image

Gingersmom2009

What I meant was, the state sets them up – not the post office. And I don’t trust anything about this.

Teagan

Interesting. but, how many necessary throughout the country Instead of a state primary? the expense, Logistics and security are mind-boggling! If federal buildings and police stations can be destroyed, what are the chances of these boxes making it.

Gingersmom2009

It’s ridiculous. We need in person voting, with ID, or the regular absentee procedure. Or the 14th Amendment, stat.

piper567

Teagan, When my State (WA) enacted a “mail-in” ballots, the drop boxes appeared at surprisingly convenient locations, all locations listed online. Mine for instance is at the Library just down the street. No USPS use by most folks.
in 2016, for 2 nights, the line of cars waiting to drop off ballots went far down the residential street…don’t think people wanted to use USPS.
That being said, cheating is Rampant here, so who knows who actually empties these boxes when…or how they are handled.
I do know the vote counting stations discriminate against R observers. Several friends have tried to volunteer as R observers and have been told, We have all the observers we need.
I bet.

Teagan

Wonder who determines where these boxes are located…do you know?

Very Cool, Wheatie! Thanks!

The F-35 is a piece of garbage.
Slather all the lipstick you want on it, it’s still a pig that never should have made it into production.
How bad is it? It was supposed to replace the A-10 Warthog, for example, and the $$ saved would more than offset the total cost of the F-35 program. But the 35 performed so poorly in comparison to the A-10 that plans to retire the A-10 were scrapped all together. And that’s just one example of many.
Multi-role aircraft suck, because they are mediocre at everything they are supposed to be able to do, but are a master of none.
This video…and others like it…are propaganda rah-rah pieces produced by the manufacturer (Lockheed Martin) designed to get people to overlook the above or forget about it altogether.
Same o’ same o’ Potomac two-step.

ForGodandCountry

Correction:
the money saved by retiring the A-10 would significantly defray the total cost of the F 35 program…not more than offset it.

cthulhu

There were a couple of good ideas in there, buried under an avalanche of implementation miscues. For example, it would be really handy for all operational planes to share the same software platform, informational awareness and presentation, and (as appropriate) command and control…..and having all sensors on all planes share a common picture. That, if done right, would be really cool and worth some effort.
If done right.
In the meantime — “One Airframe to Rule Them All, One Airframe to Hide Them” is clearly just bunkum. And, yes, the whole, “we’re going to make a whole lot of cellphones, so we can use some as doorbells and some as TV remote controls” meme is a known loser — a cellphone will never be more than a “C” as a doorbell or TV control, and cheaper devices can certainly fill those functions and deserve an “A”.

Deplorable Patriot

Just a reminder, the Pentagon ordered a bunch of F-15s. Yes, it’s been updated, but, so far, anyway, hasn’t been replaced.

ForGodandCountry

This was, in large part, a very long-range strategic decision made to keep multiple aircraft manufacturers and production lines in operation. Far cheaper to retool a production line decades from now than to build one from scratch.

Gingersmom2009

FG&C, this is off topic but Carlos had something in a post about the DC-3 and B-52 having infinite fatigue life. Is this pretty damn near accurate? Watched lots of DC-6 come and go at Idlewild all those years ago.

ForGodandCountry

This is a good article on the topic. The airframes of both planes were very over-engineered such that even after decades of service the frames show no metal fatigue of any kind, thus the “infinite fatigue life” that Wictor spoke of.

How can one get a ride on a B-52? I know it’s probably impossible. I’d just like to be able to see one. My husband was able to get the last seat on a B-17 two summers ago – at a local airport right near us.

What I have read is that transformers are mostly made in Chyna, have long lead times, and have started lots of fires when they fail. A friend watched one fail from her kitchen window a few years ago. A branch fell onto the lines, the transformer performed as designed and put a pulse of higher power onto the lines to clear the debris, and then it just blew up. Circuitry failed and whole thing was in flames.

Treepers – in reference to “masking up”, I am on to week three of my somewhat sarcastic emails to our local city council who decided to override our Mayor’s veto against this outrageous legislation and put into place “masks for all” here in our little hamlet. We had been doing fine without such foolishness, but because of the fact that two major universities were about to receive all their students, the Council decided to do what all good little commies do and create new, unenforceable laws. Anyway, this week’s email was from Comrade Gretchen Whitmer – High Commander of Michigan. I have yet to receive a response to my two previous missives. I will keep you posted….

Teagan

I sent an email to our mayor (small town) regarding masks, and the site says you will receive a response within 48 hours…..now 4 days and nothing.
Our town imposed a 61 day mask requirement….now they are considering another 61!

Oh, yeah – Our edict runs through November 15, conveniently, unless they change their minds on October 20th. Bunch of maroons. I will be interested to know if you ever hear back from your Mayor…

we have a repubican majority in our house and senate (iirc), so they keep passing legislation to end wolf’s emergency powers, he keeps vetoing them and we don’t have the 2/3 to overturn his veto…so PA is trying to get out from under this crap, but so far no luck.

Hello everybody, I’m sending this from my phone since I can’t use a computer until I’m medically cleared. I blacked out and fell from heat exhaustion a couple days ago and am recovering at home. Lots of bruises and a bunch of staples in the back of my head but thank God no broken bones or brain damage.
What I can do is listen to the radio via Alexa.
Many stations — WLW, WSB, WJR, WRVA, WHAS, WBZ, KDKA —are playing Joe Biden ads about how POTUS can’t lead the country and that Biden is “ready to lead”.
The DNC is running other ads, obviously spoken by Black people, saying that POTUS has failed the Black community in every way. One ad that runs on WJR has a Black pastor blaming POTUS for his empty church because POTUS hasn’t taken care of the pandemic.
Now here’s the situation with this horrible allegation that POTUS called dead American soldiers “losers”. And that Gen. Kelly has “no comment”. A “commentator” on WHAS today said that the allegation is true but offered no proof.
I also heard today on WLW that the Biden campaign is coming out tomorrow with ads saying that POTUS is unfit to be Commander in Chief.
I believe that every hour the RNC doesn’t have a barrage of radio and social media ads that completely debunk this allegation, that provides more “ammunition” for the DNC. Where’s Brad Parscale?
There are still millions of Americans who listen to radio. The RNC is behind the 8-ball on this, big-time.
Can someone please get this message to the RNC? Thanks.

That’s an unfair criticism. It is very difficult to obtain parts to repair auto components anymore. Plus it is not cost effective and you know who actually sets prices on car repairs, don’t you? That’s right; the customer. Price it too high and he/she will simply go elsewhere or hit the junkyards.
You can thank govt regulations and China trade policies for this situation. As a retired mechanic, I truly miss the days when an experienced ear could identify the malfunction. Nowadays it’s some computer code.

Gail Combs

SO correct pGroup. Three of our four pick-up are 1993 and older. All three are running fine thanks to our great mechanic. The fourth is a Ford Ranger with a computer. It has been sitting in the drive for two years. We had hoped to have the $$$ to repair it this year but then the CCP Corona crud hit.
We are FINALLY seeing a bit better cash flow so off it goes to our mechanic to get it to the point we can at least use it to haul feed around the farm. With the computer signalling some sort of problem we can not get it inspected for road use and we are not about to pay for a new computer.
(I happen to hate that truck. It is a gas gussler with no trailer hauling ability.)

Amount of sunlight of a certain wavelength maybe?
I know that the length of time a mare is exposed to blue light determines whether she will come into heat and can be bred. This is very important to the racing industry who want a foal born as close to January 1st as possible so they are a full two years and not a year and a 1/2 when they start racing.
“Horses need light for far more than just vision. The constantly repeating cycles of dawn and dusk synchronise an internal clock system that coordinates all bodily functions to a 24-h (daily) and 365-day (annual) rhythm. Blue light is the most biologically effective light responsible for regulating an animal’s internal rhythms…..”

Continuous coloured light altered human brain haemodynamics and oxygenation assessed by systemic physiology augmented functional near-infrared spectroscopy

Abstract
Exposure to artificial coloured light is unavoidable in our modern life, but we are only just beginning to understand the impact of coloured light on human physiology. The aim of the present study was to determine effects of coloured light exposure on human systemic and brain physiology using systemic physiology augmented functional near-infrared spectroscopy (SPA-fNIRS). We measured changes in haemoglobin concentrations and tissue oxygen saturation in the left and right prefrontal cortices (L-PFC, R-PFC) by fNIRS, and also recorded skin conductance (SC), partial pressure of end-tidal CO2 (PETCO2), and heart-rate variability variables.
17 healthy adults (median age: 29 years, range: 25–65 years, 6 women) were exposed to blue, red, green, or yellow light for 10 minutes. Pre-light and post-light conditions were in darkness.
In the L-PFC the yellow evoked a brain activation. SC and PETCO2 did not change during any of the coloured light exposures, but SC increased and PETCO2 decreased for all colours (except green) in the post-light period. Changes in L-PFC haemoglobin concentration were also observed during the post-light period but have to be interpreted with care, because heart rate and SC increased while PETCO2 decreased. The detected effects are potentially of high relevance for choosing room lighting and may possibly be applied therapeutically.

Do not forget the sun is a VARIABLE STAR! Although TSI (Total Solar Insolation) may not vary much the composition of the TSI does vary especially in the UV and EUV wavelengths. This variation effects ozone formation/destruction and the “puffyness’ of the atmosphere. Also we just came out of a Solar Grand Maximum, the highest in 3,000 years and some think we are headed into a solar minimum lite the Little Ice Ages.
NASA: Solar Variability and Terrestrial Climate

Jan. 8, 2013
…Greg Kopp of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado, pointed out that while the variations in luminosity over the 11-year solar cycle amount to only a tenth of a percent of the sun’s total output, such a small fraction is still important. “Even typical short term variations of 0.1% in incident irradiance exceed all other energy sources (such as natural radioactivity in Earth’s core) combined,” he says.
Of particular importance is the sun’s extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation, which peaks during the years around solar maximum. Within the relatively narrow band of EUV wavelengths, the sun’s output varies not by a minuscule 0.1%, but by whopping factors of 10 or more. This can strongly affect the chemistry and thermal structure of the upper atmosphere.
Several researchers discussed how changes in the upper atmosphere can trickle down to Earth’s surface. There are many “top-down” pathways for the sun’s influence. For instance, Charles Jackman of the Goddard Space Flight Center described how nitrogen oxides (NOx) created by solar energetic particles and cosmic rays in the stratosphere could reduce ozone levels by a few percent. Because ozone absorbs UV radiation, less ozone means that more UV rays from the sun would reach Earth’s surface.
Isaac Held of NOAA took this one step further. He described how loss of ozone in the stratosphere could alter the dynamics of the atmosphere below it. “The cooling of the polar stratosphere associated with loss of ozone increases the horizontal temperature gradient near the tropopause,” he explains. “This alters the flux of angular momentum by mid-latitude eddies. [Angular momentum is important because] the angular momentum budget of the troposphere controls the surface westerlies.” In other words, solar activity felt in the upper atmosphere can, through a complicated series of influences, push surface storm tracks off course…..

2002 Effects of ultraviolet radiation on plant cells
[The paper has the usual kow tow to Gore-BullSchiff warming required for publication.]
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11567887/

Abstract
Recent measurements of ozone levels have led to concern that the stratospheric ozone layer is being depleted as a result of contamination with man-made chlorofluorocarbons. Concomitantly, the amounts of solar UV-B radiation reaching the Earth’s surface is increasing. UV-B radiation has been shown to be harmful to living organisms, damaging DNA, proteins, lipids and membranes. Plants, which use sunlight for photosynthesis and are unable to avoid exposure to enhanced levels of UV-B radiation, are at risk. Thus, mechanisms by which plants may protect themselves from UV radiation are of particular interest. This review will summarizes the main aspects of ultraviolet radiation on plants at physiological and biochemical level, with particular emphasis on protective structures and mechanisms.

Several other papers on the subject are linked at the bottom of the page.

Less sunlight triggers the change.

Teagan

Oh, was that what Gail was saying? LOL

Gail Combs

I think it is not only the hours the sun is shining but also the amount of light of a specific wavelength.
Ultraviolet B Light produces D3 in human skin, but only in summer when the sun is high.

….UVA and UVB rays have a wavelength of between 280nm and 400nm, though UVA has a longer wavelength than UVB. Together they make up about 5% of the sun’s rays.
UVA rays are less intense than UVB, but there are 30 to 50 times more of them. They are also present constantly, with relatively equal intensity, during all daylight hours throughout the year. UVB rays, however, fluctuate throughout the day and are at their strongest at noon. Both pass virtually unhindered through cloud and smog….
Studies have shown that the rate of serotonin production in the brain is directly affected by the amount of sunlight the body is exposed to that day. Serotonin levels are higher on bright days than on overcast or cloudy days. Serotonin is a powerful brain chemical that controls mood and is associated with happy feelings….

Thanks Butterfly,
I think this is another attempt to turn-off Trump supporters and was NOT sanctioned by him as CiC.

It’s definitely discrimination. ‘They can’t find priests’ means they gave up, quit trying, and/or did it intentionally. Our military should never give up, always keep trying until they win. The witches get to have service don’t they? *SPIT* I’m not Catholic, but I KNOW we MUST have more Jesus to fight and beat the demons.

churchmouse

Thank you VERY much (even though I have been an Anglican for decades).
I find this inexplicable. Perhaps there IS a shortage of priests, but the one interviewed in the article says that he has an active congregation.
The article also says that veterans and those in active service meet after Mass to network.
I hope that the President will act positively on this. Thank you for forwarding to him and to the relevant people who can turn this around.
All blessings to you and yours.

So much for the ‘received wisdom’ that horses do not see color. Spooking at a yellow or white stripe on a road or a dark black wet spot is typical horse behavior and therefore horses are TRAINED to ignore those hazards. ESP. police horses.
Also is a behavior I noticed. Similar colored horses hang around together. Blacks with blacks, chestnuts with chestnuts and palominos and grays in a group.

Gyms within government buildings in San Francisco have been open for months, despite privately owned establishments being ordered to close due to the coronavirus.
“It’s shocking, it’s infuriating,” Daniele Rabkin, of Crossfit Golden Gate, told a local NBC station. “Even though they’re getting exposed, there are no repercussions, no ramifications? It’s shocking.”
The gyms that have been open for government employees include those for police officers, judges, lawyers, bailiffs, and paralegals, according to the report. One such gym, the Hall of Justice gym, has been open since July 1.
“It just demonstrates that there seems to be some kind of a double standard between what city employees are allowed to do and what the residents of San Francisco are allowed to do,” Dave Karraker, owner of MX3 Fitness in the Castro, said.
“What the city has unwillingly done is created this great case study that says that working out indoors is actually safe,” said Karraker. “So, at this point, we’re just demanding that they allow us to have the same workout privileges for the citizens of San Francisco that the employees of San Francisco have.”

(Sad to say, some of the nicer REAL theatres are not far from there. Chinatown, too. Another “I wonder” sort of thing… ChiComs probably have their claws in that, too…)….

patfrederick

our ongoing saga with nature this year continues…
we’ve been noticing that the leaves on our fenced in (4 feet high fence) grapevines are disappearing. the vines are still there, the grape bunches, and the leaf steams are there but the big green (and apparently tasty) leaves are disappearing. we have occasional leaf damage to insects but they leave a leaf skeleton so to speak and this is not that.
this morning I was upstairs (the bedroom has the only windows facing the grapevines) and I saw a deer INSIDE the fencing. in 13 years, the deer have never gone inside the fence–wouldn’t even know how they would.
I called to hubby, which the deer apparently heard. she looked up at us and ducked under the rows of vines and LEAPT over the 4 ft high fence…
sigh…

patfrederick

yeah we’ve seen them jump before, but they never touched the grapes before…and there are so many acorns and clover here for them, I’m puzzled. this is just the most bizarre year.

Gail Combs

Pat it take AT LEAST an EIGHT foot fence to keep deer out. When I mentioned putting in an eight foot fence to a friend, he said he has seen deer jump those eight foot fences.

patfrederick

wow!
it’s just we’ve had these fenced i vines for 13 years and never ever had a deer problem before. maybe because it’s dry here? not a lot of rain, the creek is dry…the pond is a foot lower than normal…maybe the leaves are succulent??

Gail Combs

Once they find them you are in TROUBLE they will show up from now on.

patfrederick

yeah i thought so too…sigh

piper567

Gail, when I was out in the country, I looked for months for a book discussing deer deterrents.
Finally found one. The opening sentence of this book was, “Deer will eat anything except red brick.” So, I bought that one.
This is the method of protecting crops/young trees that was suggested…and we had Great success with it!
Horse fencing material sections, material anodized AFTER spot welding, should be laid on the ground surrounding new plantings, in this case, young trees, and the deer will not place their feet on the fencing.
We experimented with suitable patterns, thinking the deer would eventually ignore their instincts, but of all the methods we tried, this was the only one which succeeded.
The sections of our fencing were only 4 ft, but this was just enough distance to keep them from reaching foliage.
As our fruit trees grew, one year we added another section, to increase the distance from the expanding foliage.

Are the grapes ripe yet? If not that’s why there still there would be my guess. When I lived in the grape country of NY they would eat the neighbors grapes.

I feel for you. We have chipmunks like crazy this year. Is it because we lost our puppy of 12 years in January and they sense she’s not around or are they just over populated this year here in northeast PA!?
The second out fenced in tomatoes show the SLIGHTEST evidence of beginning to ripen… They’re in the garden and leaving half eaten tomatoes in their wake.
Frustrating. Taken to pulling them off and letting them ripen on the kitchen counter tomato basket.

patfrederick

we had chipmunks galore too…till the hawks found them.
but the tomatoes are the one thing in the garden that nothing has touched this year! the squirrels eat the zucchini flowers…and now they’re ripping out the corn stalks (our corn was pathetic sure but still) and they take 2 nibbles out the corn and toss it and rip out another! the spinach never came up and the carrot seeds (bright red seeds) attracted the birds as I was planting and only 3 carrots came up! sigh…

H/T GARRISON HALL
One of the side effects of the covid-virus, social distancing, and working from home (provided you still have a job) and working form home is a marked rise in depression and a corresponding weakening of customary friendship ties. I wonder how many friendships have faded during our extended emergency and how many may not recover once the covid-hysteria is over and society returns to a semblance of normal. A greater tragedy than the virus, it seems to me, is the loss of good friends who, for various reason, simply fade away. I’m fortunate to have a group of close friends that I’ve know for a good part of my adult life. I’m pleased to say, and more than bit bit blessed, that we’re as tight as ever. I hope the same is true for all my Treeper friends.

H/T JUST STEVIE
SPRINGS OF BENIGNITY
“The water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water.” John iv. 14
The picture Our Lord gives is not that of a channel but a fountain. “Be being filled,” and the sweetness of vital relationship to Jesus will flow out of the saint as lavishly as it is imparted to him. If you find your life is not flowing out as it should, you are to blame; something has obstructed the flow. Keep right at the Source, and – you will be blessed personally? No, out of you will flow rivers of living water, irrepressible life.
We are to be centres through which Jesus can flow as rivers of living water in blessing to everyone. Some of us are like the Dead Sea, always taking in but never giving out, because we are not rightly related to the Lord Jesus. As surely as we receive from Him, He will pour out through us, and in the measure He is not pouring out, there is a defect in our relationship to Him. Is there anything between you and Jesus Christ? Is there anything that hinders your belief in Him? If not, Jesus says, out of you will flow rivers of living water. It is not a blessing passed on, not an experience stated, but a river continually flowing. Keep at the Source, guard well your belief in Jesus Christ and your relationship to Him, and there will be a steady flow for other lives, no dryness and no deadness.
Is it not too extravagant to say that out of an individual believer rivers are going to flow? “I do not see the rivers,” you say. Never look at yourself from the standpoint of – Who am I? In the history of God’s work you will nearly always find that it has started from the obscure, the unknown, the ignored, but the steadfastly true to Jesus Christ.

As if air raid sirens would go off because of something going on a quarter of a million miles away. 😀

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Oh, and the Moon is a couple of thousand miles across.
Whatever it is that supposedly hit it would have to be travelling at least a thousand miles per second, since it seems to be crossing a distance that is the moons width every second (and is obviously, as far away as the moon). AND would not leave a visible trail like that (it’s not going through the atmosphere).
The fastest any man-made macroscopic object has ever gone is maybe 20 miles per second. A thousand (or two thousand) miles an hour is ridiculously fast for objects out in space; it would just about have to be a product of intelligent life–and if they can do that, we’d better not piss them off–you just saw their weapon in action.
Definitely CGI or it would be all over the news.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Just looked it up–the fastest we’ve ever managed to get a spacecraft to go is almost 44 miles per second…and that’s not how fast it was going when we launched it, rather that’s how fast it got when it was near the sun (the sun, pulling on it, had sped it up). This was the Helios 2 spacecraft.
The earth’s motion in its orbit can help out too, if you’re measuring relative to the sun instead of the earth. We were able to get a probe to Pluto largely with the help of our orbital speed. We launched it at something like 16 km/second but the Earth is moving at 25 km/sec in its orbit, total 41 km/sec (which is fast enough to escape the Sun permanently). That’s fast enough to get to Pluto by itself but we did a “gravitational slingshot” maneuver off Jupiter to gain some speed and save about five years’ travel time. That 16 km/second is the fastest we’ve ever directly made anything “go” relative to us here on Earth.

I thought the US Military got a lot more $$$$ under President Trump.

Catholic Masses at San Diego-area Navy bases have ended because the Navy, in what it says is a cost-cutting move, has declined to renew its contracts with Catholic priests, and there are not enough Catholic chaplains on active duty to fill the void.
Protestant services on bases, which are led by active duty chaplains, will continue, said Brian O’Rourke, a Navy Region Southwest spokesman.
The changes to the Navy’s religious ministries are part of a national realignment announced on Aug. 20. It is unclear how many priests this will affect.
“The Navy’s religious ministries priority is reaching and ministering to our largest demographic — active duty Sailors and Marines in the 18-25 year-old range,” O’Rourke wrote in an email. “To meet that mission, the Navy has had to make the difficult decision to discontinue most contracted ministry services.” …..
“We have a responsibility to use our limited resources wisely in meeting the needs of our personnel,” wrote Lindsey. “Therefore, we will reduce redundancies and capture efficiencies by realigning resources,” noting that religious services will be cut at bases where those services are readily available in the surrounding community outside the base…..
To Rev. Jose Pimentel, a priest who has led services at Naval Base Coronado and Naval Air Station North Island for eight years, the loss of his parish isn’t just a personal loss — it’s a loss of the 1st Amendment rights of service members on bases….
Catholics on active duty also have needs many civilian priests can’t accommodate, Pimentel said.….

I mean, I knew a Navy Chaplain here, about 8-10 years ago, who was studying for an advanced theology degree. Great homilist. He was living at the Cathedral in he rectory, and every now and then wore his dress blues. Commander, IIRC.

Gail Combs

Story says there are Navy Chaplains but not enough to serve all the bases so they contract out the ‘service’ That is what is on the chopping block. The contracts.
I think there needs to be a through looking at the Navy. Remember 1000 talents program and our Universities? Did some of those ‘1000 talents’ join the navy after graduating??? I had two boy friends who were getting PhDs and the military was paying. (One Navy) Were those military bound students targeted by China?

I don’t know what to think about Assange. Some people think a deal for his pardon is in the works here. He is fighting extradition to the U.S. because “American prosecutors have indicted the 49-year-old Australian on 18 espionage and computer misuse charges adding up to a maximum sentence of 175 years. His lawyers say the prosecution is a politically motivated abuse of power that will stifle press freedom and put journalists at risk.”
His extradition hearing is set to start Monday in London and iis expected to last for four weeks.

Fair enough.
At first I had he was hoping for a Red October (period, end of sentence) then realized it had a double meaning. So I tried to make it a joke about the double meaning.

After reading this article, I’ve concluded that it proves China was shitting on USA with corona virus. Considering the sanitation practices in the backcountry, this could be the actual transmission mechanism.

My suspect gut bug early in the year devolved into a new symptom, reflux. Beginning of April I read that Pepcid AC worked against viruses at higher dosing and tried it. Within 3 weeks all gone. Only took it after a bout of reflux. Maybe a couple times a week after the first few days. Quite happy it was a simple remedy.

Bathrooms are Virus Exchange stations. ChiefIO said the H2O vapor tossed in the air by the act of flushing hangs around for 20 minutes or so.
I have stayed out of public restrooms ever since.

cthulhu

It should be noted that the same effect is true in private bathrooms (e.g. restaurants). That changes the criteria to “bathrooms that are used less frequently than once per 20 minutes”. It is also true that public bathrooms are one of the greatest advancements in public sanitation — once you contemplate the alternative (e.g. Scat Francisco).
And I have to confess that I first read, “I have stayed out of public restrooms ever since” as “This fact cured me of my previous habit of hanging-out in public restrooms.”

pgroup

Scat Francisco is snort-out-loud funny.
One more thing – guys visiting the restroom usually must “hang out” in order to fulfill the mission. Just saying.

singingsoul1

In Germany most bathrooms have all year around windows open . I like that and when not to hot I open all widows in my home even in the winter. Some habits from the old country never fade. My daughter does the same the spouses have a problem with my sons to do that. 🙄🤣

In Japan, the toilets are completely separate from the bathing facilities ( opposite parts of the house) and it’s customary you change shoes (slippers) when you use that tiny room. The Japanese are very, very conscious of contamination…literally in every aspect of their lives.

Teagan

LOL Gail, ate you SURE you are a red-blooded American woman…you know… never, ever pass a bathroom without stopping?! !
after traveling so much in Third World countries, I learned that a bush and a pack of tissues were my best friends. Anything to avoid the public toilets, that most natives didn’t have a clue how to use.
Once, traveling by train in India in First Class cars, we had a choice of a “Western” toilet or across the aisle a “native” toilet which was basically a hole in the floor. Believe me…we all quickly went “native” for that journey! 🤢🤮 Ahh, The memories!

Oh, you don’t even have to go rural…right in the heart of beautiful Shanghai I saw filthy communal toilet/bathing and cooking facilities for several families to share.

The guy who created PGP originally wrote his own symmetric-key encryption system and named it Bass-o-matic. After showing it to an expert who was able to pick it apart in 30 minutes and demonstrate it was insecure, he decided to go with publicly-known algorithms produced by pros. (This is not the same algorithm used for the public/private keys. That was never intended to encrypt the whole message, rather, the public/private keys encrypt the real key for the message.)

Just for grins & giggles, keep in mind that the stated goals of ‘white privilege’ and ‘critical race theory’ are violations of the Geneva Conventions:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_Conventions#Common_Article_3_relating_to_non-international_armed_conflict
Common Article 3 relating to non-international armed conflict
This article states that the certain minimum rules of war apply to armed conflicts “where at least one Party is not a State”.[37] The interpretation of the term armed conflict and therefore the applicability of this article is a matter of debate.[23] For example, it would apply to conflicts between the Government and rebel forces, or between two rebel forces, or to other conflicts that have all the characteristics of war, whether carried out within the confines of one country or not.[38] There are two criteria to distinguish non-international armed conflicts from lower forms of violence. The level of violence has to be of certain intensity, for example when the state cannot contain the situation with regular police forces. Also, involved non-state groups need to have a certain level of organization, like a military command structure.[39]
The other Geneva Conventions are not applicable in this situation but only the provisions contained within Article 3,[23] and additionally within the language of Protocol II. The rationale for the limitation is to avoid conflict with the rights of Sovereign States that were not part of the treaties. When the provisions of this article apply, it states that:[40]
Persons taking no active part in the hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed hors de combat by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, colour, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria. To this end, the following acts are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever with respect to the above-mentioned persons:
violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture;
taking of hostages;
outrages upon dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment; and
the passing of sentences and the carrying out of executions without previous judgment pronounced by a regularly constituted court, affording all the judicial guarantees which are recognized as indispensable by civilized peoples.
The wounded and sick shall be collected and cared for.

San Francisco gym owners livid after discovering gyms in SF government buildings have been opened for months

Gyms within government buildings in San Francisco have been open for months, despite privately owned establishments being ordered to close due to the coronavirus.
“It’s shocking, it’s infuriating,” Daniele Rabkin, of Crossfit Golden Gate, told a local NBC station. “Even though they’re getting exposed, there are no repercussions, no ramifications? It’s shocking.”
The gyms that have been open for government employees include those for police officers, judges, lawyers, bailiffs, and paralegals, according to the report. One such gym, the Hall of Justice gym, has been open since July 1.
“It just demonstrates that there seems to be some kind of a double standard between what city employees are allowed to do and what the residents of San Francisco are allowed to do,” Dave Karraker, owner of MX3 Fitness in the Castro, said.

Pelosi’s Coiffure – Recalling the 1990s House Bank and House Post Office Scandals [Buck Throckmorton]
—Open Blogger
Americans have long been sick of the special privileges our elites have awarded themselves. During Covid, however, with our elite politicians excusing themselves from the draconian restrictions they impose on the rest of us, it feels like a major backlash is brewing.
Queen Pelosi’s coiffure may be the last straw. It brings back memories of the House Bank and Post Office scandals from the 1990s – scandals that flushed out a generation of corrupt Democratic leaders, including the Speaker of The House.
The House Of Representatives had created the “House Bank”, an institution to which they could deposit money. More importantly, it served as a cash dispenser from which they could write checks against accounts which had no cash on deposit. There were no penalties or consequences for an unlimited number of bounced checks, which effectively created an unlimited credit line to cover those bounced checks.

Biden Immigration Amnesty Could Lead To Astronomical 77 MILLION Migrant Influx
SEPTEMBER 7, 2020 | STAFF WRITER
https://thenationalpulse.com/news/biden-immigration-amnesty-could-lead-to-astronomical-77-million-migrant-influx/

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

I always get a kick out of large numbers being called “astronomical.” 77 million is less than flea flatulence to an astronomer. 😀 Oh, they might say a (realtively nearby) galaxy is 77 million light years away when talking to non-astronomers (they work in parsecs, not light years, 3.26 LY to the parsec), but that is roughly 77,000,000 x 10,000,000,000,000 kilometers away, call it 770 quintillion kilometers.
But when it’s people popping in for a permanent visit, it’s a damned humongous number.

duchess01

To an economist, 77M freeloaders is a big deal – they are not coming for a visit – they want to stay permanently – and have been here for longer than they care to admit – they act like this number ‘will be’ and not ‘already is’ – this is a globalist plan to ‘mix the races’ and eliminate Americans as the majority.
I am not willing to foot the bill for these people to come in and squat – receive amnesty – and vote for Democrats – to secure their perpetual power – this has been their plan all along – through their sanctuary cities and licenses – they absorb them into the populace – and – they have no idea how many are already here – O let them in freely – bussed them all over – trafficked children – drugs – and criminals – to illegally vote – and provide the means for the Dems to stay in power in perpetuity – while securing their socialist/communist state.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Oh, I definitely agree!
But I got the impression it was 77 million MORE, over and above the uncounted millions already here.

duchess01

Could be, Steve – after all – they lied about who is already here illegally from years past.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Yeah, I remember many decades ago the number 11 million was being bandied about. Maybe it was right, back then, who knows? But that same number was STILL being used as recently as four or five years ago, at which point it absolutely had to be the solid waste emissions of male domesticated bovines.

duchess01

Yes, we knew they were still sneaking over the border – more and more of them every year – not possible for the total to remain at 11M – gee – the witch got 3M in CA alone!
And we both know – until PT – they were not counting extended family, either. How many of those 11M applied for citizenship – why are there so few at the ceremony?
I am calling AG Barr – it is high time – we yanked Hiden and Zero from their hiding places and gave them an all expenses paid trip to GITMO – we can pick up the witch and warlock on the way there, too!

These are the rank and file who will turn on Obama’s embeds if they try a military coup.
While I’m at it….given that POTUS and his best people most definitely believe (as we do) that the nation is at war….
Does anyone here actually think that the Trump admin. HASN’T ensured that the troops and commands in/around DC are pro-Trump??
Btw…
I took an Lyft to the airport last week. The driver was a black 30 year old from PA who was active duty stationed at Ft. Hood but driving down in the city for extra cash. I asked him how many tours he had done in the sandbox. “Three, sir.” I then asked him if he had heard Pres. Trump was getting us out of there. “Yes sir, I have.” So I asked him how he felt about that.
“The same way everyone I know does. The president is a great man and we are grateful to him.”
Fuggin’ liberals are so retarded trying to pick this fight with POTUS while they dream of a military coup in Jan.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

I think the Dems got quite a surprise in whatever focus groups they were running.
Most Americans are patriotic, and respect the OFFICE of government, even when they don’t like the person in it. I always remind people that I would have taken a bullet for Obama – as in risking death to report any plot against him. I may not have liked him, by the time his administration finished, but he was Commander in Chief, and had done nothing to allow me to LEGALLY question the legality of any order, duty, etc. Upholding Obama’s presidency WAS upholding the Constitution.
On both November 3 and January 20, I expect a LEGAL, FAIR, and JUSTLY DECIDED retention or transfer of power. No coup, including a MEDIA COUP, SLOW COUP, or CHEAT COUP will be respected by me.
If the Democrats blur this transition too much, they will draw the KARMA they so justly deserve.

It’s actually a really big deal that affects anyone who travels by air. The thing is…
Ya can’t just park aircraft and furlough crews without incurring a TREMENDOUS cost to bring them back online later.
“Currency” is a big word in aviation. (ie. current, up-to-date).
Say you own a brand new airplane, fully certified and completely up to date on all maintenance. It’s pristine. And you leave it sit for a full year, not flying it once. Guess what? It is now “out of currency”. You’ll have to pay for a full and complete annual maintenance check before you can fly it even though you haven’t flown it at all in the previous year and it has sat protected inside a secure hanger the entire time.
And your pilots? They’ll have to go through “recurrency” training because if they aren’t flying their skills are degrading.
Those annual Mx checks are very expensive. The bigger and more complex the aircraft, the more difficult, extensive, and costly the Mx check is.
And the simulators to get your pilots recurrent? You have a MAJOR headache there, because sims can cost even more than the aircraft type they simulate. So they are scarce. So much so that pre-WuFlu they were running 24/7/365 just to keep up with demand. Pilots were literally going in for training sessions at 2, 3, and 4 AM.
Now multiply this by thousands of aircraft and pilots.
If dims wanted to cause a massive rise in the cost of air travel this is the way to do it.

Teagan

I read your answer to my DH who was nodding all along. Thanks..I learned today…didn’t realize the sim training was so expensive.

ForGodandCountry

That’s not the half of it. Want more?
3/4 of all aircraft fleets are financed. Gotta pay the bank back on those loans whether or not the planes are in the air generating revenue. Idle aircraft are a MASSIVE drain on available capital.
Oh yeah…btw…
….you want to park that plane on our ramp or in our hangar? That will cost you x amount of $$ per day it sits there, not generating any revenue. Ramp/hangar fees, ya know. After all, the airlines don’t own the airports or the ramps those planes are sitting on. And oh, I almost forgot….the insurance man wants his money too. Don’t forget about that monthly expense, too.
This is why airlines BURN through capital when their fleets are sitting idle with no paying passengers flying in them, generating offsetting revenue to pay for all the expenses of aviation.
And as I mentioned, parking aircraft fleets comes with it’s own set of downstream issues when you want to bring them and their crews back into service.
This is why Congress made a boatload of $$ available to the airlines in the CARES Act. But…
….that money runs out at the end of this month!!
We desperately need an extension to the act NOW, or else the airlines will be FORCED to start furloughing pilots and putting planes into long-term storage.
Of course, Republicans and POTUS are 100% on board with an extension of the CARES Act…
…it is the goddamn crybaby scortched-earth-unless-you-give-us-what-we-want House democrats led by Nasty Nancy who are going to cause so much harm to the US domestic fleet.
They are more than willing to burn small business to the ground and throw millions of people out of work and into bankruptcy for their political power.

Previous presidents’ support of endless wars has resulted in the loss of thousands of American lives and cost American taxpayers trillions of dollars, whereas President Trump’s limited use of military force and swift action when needed marks a decisive change from that policy.
President Trump’s actions have shown our troops more respect than any president in my lifetime. His use of decisive military force only when absolutely necessary, combined with his reluctance to use the military as the sole tool of foreign policy, is not only good and smart, but the sign of utmost respect for the lives of our troops.

Don’t for a second think our troops don’t talk about such things on a daily basis…

Soros-linked Org Prepares for Election Coup, Calls for Mass Street Uprisings
September 7, 2020
by Luis Miguel, The New American
https://www.sgtreport.com/2020/09/soros-linked-org-prepares-for-election-coup-calls-for-mass-street-uprisings/
The Transition Integrity Project, an organization with ties to George Soros’ Open Society Foundations and to the Chinese Communist Party-linked think tank The Berggruen Institute, has outlined several tactics the Left and Deep State plan to use to secure a Biden victory in the 2020 presidential election, including mail-in voting, suppression of speech via social-media censorship, and “mass mobilization” (read: riots) on America’s streets.
The Transition Integrity Project ostensibly serves as a “bipartisan” bulwark against President Trump to ensure he concedes should he lose the election. It is filled with establishment figures such as former Hillary Clinton campaign chair John Podesta and has gone so far as to hold war games simulating what would happen should Biden refuse to concede the election.

ForGodandCountry

Anyone here think that the left are the only folks holding “war game simulations”?
Anyone here think that POTUS doesn’t have extraordinary, unused powers under the Stafford Act to deal with the left and it’s attempt to subvert the upcoming election….powers that the left isn’t talking about because it undercuts their BS talking points??

duchess01

FG&C – Sometimes, I read this stuff and it concerns me – and then – I think – it took years of strategic planning to get to this point in time – they might have made their move in 2012 when people already had enough of the Communist in the WH – but, it was too soon – too many were still caught up in the deception – so, yes – it is quite possible PT has ‘unused powers’ – that are part of the plan to thwart their subversion.
Today, in his Press Conference, PT mentioned 80M mail-in ballots floating around somewhere – where he got that number – I have no clue – I got the idea he knows more than he shares with us about what they are doing.
I also got the impression ‘they’ collected a great deal of information during the 2016 and 2018 elections – information they will use to stop the madness.
Glad you brought this up for consideration, FG&C – we knew the polls were bogus in 2016 – and fraud lost the House in 2018 – but, this year – we are more than prepared.

TheseTruths

It’s useful to know the names of these organizations, whom they are affiliated with, who funds them, etc., just as we know about Organizing for America, Soros’s multiple organizations, the Clinton Foundation, etc. Knowledge is power. Digital warriors can use that knowledge.
It will be interesting to watch how their plans will be foiled leading up to, the day of, and after the election. Whatever portions of the Trump strategy that we get to see will be gratifying. Knowing what they think they can accomplish will make it all the more satisfying. Inauguration day will be party time!

Federal Judge: ‘There Is NO Pandemic Exception To The Constitution’ – Then Why Are Americans Going Along With It? (Video)
September 7, 2020
by Bradlee Dean, DC Clothesline
https://www.sgtreport.com/2020/09/federal-judge-there-is-no-pandemic-exception-to-the-constitution-then-why-are-americans-going-along-with-it/
Where is it that those who are to represent the people in this country receive delegated authority to implement that which is unconstitutional? The Constitution is the supreme law of the land (Article 6, Section 2). They have reversed their roles in taking on the position of being the employer rather than the employee (John 15:20).
When speaking of the US Constitution, do remember that those who are to serve the people in this country are to “support the Constitution,” not tear it down in an attempt to recreate it in the image of a country that is foreign to our own. Yet, that is, in fact, what is taking place today in America (Isaiah 42:21; Hebrews 10:7; Article 6, Section 6 US Constitution).

The riots and the virus event has now failed. the people are no longer believing and it has backfired on the [DS]. The coverup on the Russian collusion hoax is falling apart. The military was the key, it was the only way. Trump traps the corrupt politicians and the MSM to become anti-vaxxers, why is this necessary, to push therapeutics. The [DS] moves forward with their agenda, power plants explode, CA power problems and other states experience the same thing.

TheseTruths

On this day in 1974, Pres. Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon for any crimes he might have committed related to Watergate, demonstrating that a president can pardon someone who has not been convicted of crime.

TheseTruths

Oops, that should say tomorrow, September 8.

cthulhu

You should also note: “establishing” rather than “demonstrating” — it’s not something that was just lying around in a disused lavatory in the basement, behind a sign that said “Beware of the Leopard.” He made it up, and it was allowed to stick.

TheseTruths

Actually, it was “lying around,” in Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution:
“[The President] shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.”
And then in 1866 SCOTUS ruled that pardons may be granted before conviction.
https://litigation.findlaw.com/legal-system/presidential-pardon-power-and-its-limits.html
“The U.S. Supreme Court clarified presidential pardon power in an 1866 case (Ex Parte Garland) challenging the pardon of a former Confederate soldier by President Andrew Johnson. In its opinion, the Court stated that this power ‘extends to every offense known to the law, and may be exercised at any time after its commission, either before legal proceedings are taken or during their pendency, or after conviction and judgment.'”

cthulhu

Pardons are enough of a rara avis that each may be considered in its historical context. In 1866, Johnson was really trying to get the US past the Civil War, much as Ford was looking to move the US past the Nixon investigations. There are plenty of ways to distinguish Ex Parte Garland and Nixon’s pardon from hypotheticals like, “after the 2020 election, President Trump pardoned all members of his adminstration (listed by name in appendices) for all Federal crimes. Nonetheless, it was found that Secretary Ben Carson improperly used Federal transportation to go to Western Nevada in order to ‘shoot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.’ Courts upheld his conviction.”

TheseTruths

If one goes by precedent, each rare occurrence set the stage for the next. Pres. Ford had plenty of evidence to show that presidential pardons for people not convicted of crimes are allowed, and he further demonstrated that by pardoning Nixon; and no one challenged his authority to do so.
I don’t see how, with a SCOTUS decision specifically stating that a person does not have to have been convicted of a crime to be pardoned, one could then say that Pres. Ford established that practice. There is clear precedent. The SCOTUS decision does not refer to Civil War circumstances; it speaks in general terms about the power of the president.

Deplorable Patriot

Steve, if you get a chance, there’s something stationary and bright in the southern sky tonight. Might it be a planet or maybe the international space station? Without a telescope, it’s hard to tell.
Almost due south from me. The Arch coordinates are not that far away.

Teagan

We saw something as you described last night…thought it might be a satellite but seemed too large…it seemed to be moving fast.

Teagan

The item we saw was high in the sky..we saw it over the tree tops.

cthulhu

If you load Stellarium (note below), set it to your location (which I don’t know), you can roll it back in time to see what satellites may have been there when you were seeing something. It accesses a database from NORAD, which should cover all human nonmilitary satellites, and a chunk of foreign military.

cthulhu

How near to the horizon is it?

Deplorable Patriot

Almost due south, so not close for 9:30 CDT.

cthulhu

Looking due south, from close to your location, I’m seeing Saturn and Jupiter about 45 degrees up from the horizon.
The tool I’m using is Stellarium. I set it to (hopefully) your time zone and coordinates of 38° 37′ 28.27″ N, 90° 11′ 4.96″ W. Those should be two of the brightest objects immediately south of you at the moment.
Incidentally, although I’ve used the program before, it wasn’t loaded on this computer when I asked how high the object appeared off the horizon. And, yes, it includes NORAD’s satellite collection in its view.

Deplorable Patriot

Yes, this is above the horizon. Either would explain it. Thanks.

cthulhu

Stellarium is also available on both Windows and Mac — https://stellarium.org/ .
And, note, I’d downloaded and installed it (Linux), set my position to the Gateway Arch, adjusted the time, and verified that satellites were loaded between the time I asked about height above the horizon (22:49), and the time I suggested astronomical objects (23:12). It’s pretty easy to use.

Yeah, it looks to have rings with the naked eye.
I’ll have to find some binoculars or something with a decent lens. I was outside with the dog when I saw it, and knew it was more than just a star or airplane. (those are easy to spot with the flashing lights).

cthulhu

By the time you see rings, you’re getting close to being able to see some of its moons — Titan, Rhea, Iapetus, and Dione. Over time, it should be drifting off slowly to your right (toward the SW).
If you were looking more straight up, it might be Altair — but both Jupiter and Saturn should be brighter.

bakocarl

Jupiter is supposed to be about 12 times brighter than Saturn, only being outshone by Venus, which is out of the picture. So, probably Jupiter.

He said all the people he talked to had emphasized that. So I guess his message is that he’s holding off until after the election — which many of us would have counseled him to do from the beginning.

Sincere question. Anyone KNOW the real answer?? Iv looked online but can’t find an answer.
If someone requests a mail in or even absentee ballot, does that mean their name will NOT be listed in the voting rolls at the in person point to vote polling location?
What if the person requested a mail in, or even absentee, ballot, but never sent it in, and their name is not in that rolls book at their in person point of voting station?? Are they then unable to vote?
What if their name IS still in the rolls book at the in person point of voting polling station, and they DID mail in the absentee or mail in ballot??? They then are voting twice.
Can anyone explain the way this all works?? I fear such cheating in the most important of votes in my lifetime.
Well, actually, this and the 2016 presidential election are tied for the most important election in my lifetime, imo.
Once a Deplorable, always a Deplorable. A very a PROUD Deplorable.

I vote absentee. If I were to go to my polling place, they would look me up and see that I am absentee. They can check to see if my ballot was mailed to me. If I say I didnt get it, they are supposed to take that ballot, count it as lost or spoiled, then re-issue a ballot or allow me to vote in person. As Ive said before, I fill out my ballot, keep the tracking stub, and HAND DELIVER TO THE COUNTY REGISTRAR. The actual place they count them, not the box drop off.
I then check to see if my ballot was received and counted with my ballot number.
Anything past that I dont know to help you.

Your state and or county (preferably county) should have definitive guidance for this. If not or you can’t find where they put it then here are suggestions.
If you are planning on going to the in person voting site and have your ballot (mail in or absentee) leave the envelope unopened and surrender it there after your sure you can vote in person. (personally I’d like to see the unopened, surrendered ballot destroyed in your presence even if it does not bear your signature).
If you already opened it and or filled it out and still want to vote in person, again, surrender it there, after ensuring you can vote but treat it like a bad check and write void across the actual ballot, then vote in person.
If they insist that the mail in vote or absentee vote will count and you trust them then either turn it in filled out or demand to vote in person. They should be able to deal with you either way.
If you sent it in but have not figured a way to track it and your name is still on the list, just vote when you show up in person. You can let them know you have not been able to track the vote and if they can’t show you it’s received they should let you vote. If they don’t let you vote and you still don’t know if the mail in or absentee ballot is in their possession then demand a provisional ballot.
This last may seem a bit slippery. Now what the President has said is to just vote and it’s up to the state to determine if you already voted earlier. This is likely true and only points out the flaws in the system and he likely knows the democrats take advantage of this, knowing that they will not be prosecuted whether they have double voted or not as it is the states responsibility to determine which of your two votes should count. Seems rational to me, though it may not pass the ethical test unless you are honestly in doubt that your mail in or absentee ballot is being counted. Perhaps others might like to address this as this is the most slippery solution of those listed here. I’m unaware that the President has corrected his assertion at this time, though it was loosely addressed by others. Meanwhile each state likely has tighter or laxer laws pertaining to this which is the purpose I assume for you asking.
