It just amazes me that they are taking one of their top shows (not to mention one of their only new, original science fiction shows)

and simply getting rid of it. I used to love Sci-Fi. Once Eureka is gone, I don’t see a single show on their current lineup or future lineup (that we know about) that I have any interest in. I hate the trend of turning every cable network into some bastard version of TNT or USA.

there was a very good part of this last episode with Dane Cook

where it shows Louie in the past taping a sitcom pilot and he stops in the middle of the scene saying the dialogue wasn’t funny. The director asks what Louie would think is funny….he responds by saying “If the wife just said, ’I’m leaving you’ and took off with the kids, leaving the man to realize he didn’t have anyone else to be a dick to and having to finally look at himself. That’d be hilarious.’” Pretty good insight into the show right there.

On its front page, the New York Times (8/10, A1, Belluck, Subscription Publication) reports that according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, “a simple blood test that can determine a baby’s sex as early as seven weeks into pregnancy is highly accurate if used correctly.” Experts predict that “parents concerned about gender-linked diseases, those who are merely curious, and people considering the more ethically controversial step of selecting the sex of their children” are all likely to utilize this technology. The Times says similar tests have previously been commercially available but were often inaccurate. In response to concerns of gender selection, some companies require waivers from customers saying they will not use the test for that purpose.

do NOT get me started on that shit

that fucking crackpot has moms all over the country afraid that vaccinations will give their kids autism. There is one doctor – ONE MOTHERFUCKING DOCTOR – who believes that shit. The medical community believes he is nuts and there have been literally thousands of studies (5000ish from what our doctor told us) that completely disspell his one “study” about the link between autism and vaccinations. 5000 to 1. Yet there are stupid ass moms everywhere who are putting their kids in harms way. I’ll tell you this: we could tell from very very early on that our oldest son wasn’t “typical,” in the same way that from very early on, we could tell our younger one was. The older one wasn’t typical one day, got a shot, then all of a sudden turned autistic. Austism has absolutely nothing to do with vaccinations. Nothing.

Well, yes and no.

You can predict it pretty accurately, but that’s also assuming they don’t have any technology we don’t know about. Since you have to project from what you know, it stands to reason that if they have a technological advancement we don’t, we wouldn’t be able to accurately predict its performance. And this is all ignoring the information things like troop deployments, inspection schedules, training exercises, morale reports, etc tell you.

Again I think we have a good idea, but not as good as we’d really like. I think you’re overestimating the amount of knowledge you can gain from non-human intel.

We're talking about their Air Force here...

it’s not like it’s a big secret when it comes to who’s buying our planes. There’s an export ban on the F-22, for instance (but IIRC they’re looking at making an export-suitable version).

by Closure GT on Aug 10, 2011 10:58 AM CDT up reply actions  

I'd be pretty surprised if they do make an exportable F-22.

All the problems going on with the Raptor fleet right now (grounded for the past ~6 months, not sure how big the ultimate order will be) as well as the F-35 coming so soon afterwards seem to decrease the possibility of an exportable version. They’re starting work on our post F-35 fighter though!

Yeah I'm starting to worry too.

Because apparently Lockheed can’t keep costs down to save their lives, so the fighter might end up being gutted just to make budget.

Costs...

The amount of technology that goes into those things now compared to when something like the F-16 was first developed is absurd. It’s no wonder nobody could project how much it would cost in advance.

by Closure GT on Aug 10, 2011 12:56 PM CDT up reply actions  

Well... the F-35 isn't supposed to be cutting edge.

With a plane like the F-22, I’m willing to overlook some budget overruns (stealth fighter, first engine to achieve supersonic cruise without afterburners, etc). But the F-35 is supposed to be a solid, advanced, fairly inexpensive fighter. The cost overruns appear to be largely due to poor management/an unrealistic bid… not that that’s anything new in military aircraft.

It's definitely new and so there's going to be bugs

but again, the whole point of the F-35 is a budget-conscious advanced fighter. They’re not doing so well on the budget-conscious part.

by colonialbob on Aug 10, 2011 1:06 PM CDT up reply actions  

That's the tricky thing about software (Note: I don't know where the cost overruns are coming from, but if they're coming from the software then that's hard to manage any better).

The cost isn’t in manufacturing it, it’s in writing it, and making it correct.

Once they give you a spec to have it do n things, there isn’t a lot of “budget conscious” stuff you can do. It either works, or it doesn’t, however long that takes.

by Closure GT on Aug 10, 2011 1:10 PM CDT up reply actions  

Well right

but that’s where the management comes in. Setting the proper specs and the initial estimates. It’s consistently a problem on military aircraft. Heck, Boeing’s started cutting pretty heavily into their profit margin on the new tanker, which one would think wouldn’t be as difficult to design as a new fighter (particularly since it’s just a conversion of an existing aircraft body).

I was wrong, this picture is from 2002.

But the middle two boats in the formation aren’t even American. That’s the De Gaulle and an English amphibious transport behind it.

The two big carriers are the Stennis on the top and the Kennedy on the bottom. The surrounding ships are from different navies, some American, some British, some French, and some Italian.

The De Gaulle threw me off, since it looks like one of our midget carriers from WWII.

I overstated the size of carrier strike groups here.

Exaggerated quite a bit on the surface components involved. Most strike groups apparently have 2 missile cruisers, at least one anti-aircraft ship squadron, and an anti-submarine destroyer squadron. So it’s probably more like 8-10 surface ships total, including the carrier itself, and excluding support ships.

It's a ramp carrier like the ones the British built in the 80s, btw.

Almost as long as our latest carriers, though not nearly as fast and not nuclear powered. Also has a tremendously large beam (width) and I believe it is because the older Soviet designs didn’t have as much internal storage.

Another view from the front.

Looks like they plan on retrofitting the Kiev (another Russian ship they bought at auction through a dummy corporation) into another jump carrier. Then they’re going to roll with the two carriers as the centerpieces of heavy battle groups.

They’re still building ships with actual main guns, btw. That’s hilarious.

We use catapult launches.

Ski jump ramp carriers rely on the vertical launch of the ramp to overcome the lack of thrust.

Makes sense.

Since you’re getting the plane up to a flyable speed much faster, whereas with the ramp you’re kind of “cheating” the typical runway.

All I've got
(f) A taillamp or a separate lamp shall be constructed and mounted to emit a white light that:

(1) illuminates the rear license plate; and

(2) makes the plate clearly legible at a distance of 50 feet from the rear.

(g) A taillamp, including a separate lamp used to illuminate a rear license plate, must emit a light when a headlamp or auxiliary driving lamp is lighted.

So it has to be visible from 50 feet at night and needs some kind of light on it. Taillights and headlights have minimum and maximum heights from the ground and etc, but not the LP.

True story...

The long and short is I was hammered driving home from a night out with some buddies. Shouldn’t have driven but did. I got stopped for speeding but was completely compliant with everything the officer told me to do. He gave me a couple of sobriety tests that I failed miserably. He arrested me for the warrant I had for a speeding ticket in Grapevine, and not for being completely shit hammered. Saved my career. And I feel like it’s all because I did exactly what he asked, said my “yes sirs” and “no sirs” etc.

although I take drunk driving pretty seriously, the concept is the same. I stopped a dude once who was drunk, but he literally just got laid off that afternoon and was tying one on and had the paperwork to prove it. One call to his wife and she was there in 5 minutes with a friend to get the car. Problem solved

You'd think everyone would try this, unless they're just having that shitty of a day

Even when I think the cop is full of shit, I’ll be respectful. Its only when they put me through a bunch of crap for nothing that I’ll start getting sarcastic and impatient with them, but that’s only happened a couple of times.

it's a questioning technique

you want to get them away from their comfort zone. But standing in between the patrol car and your car is a very unsafe place to stand.

And, I know this is a technicality, but you were doing something wrong. You were not in compliance with a specific law. Yes, it is probably the most minor offense in the book, but if it’s in there are you aren’t following it, you can’t say you weren’t doing anything wrong.

Agreed on the Yaris/shirt/tie. But if we did the converse (only pulling over old ass town cars on 20s in bad areas of town driven by people of a specific race) then we’d be having a totally different argument. I heard a lecture once in a criminal interdiction class that basically said every once in a while you have to make “interdiction-style stops” on John Q citizen so that you can say in court that you do that type of stuff on people in all walks of life, all kinds of cars in all kinds of areas.

How does that work btw?

Not necessarily the “I’m in Irving, you can’t touch me” thing, but can a Dallas cop pull me over for speeding in Denton?

From my understanding, no.

But if a Dallas cop catches you in Dallas with something and you keep driving into another city, he can still pull you over.

But this is only based on what I’ve been told.

It falls on where the crime was committed. The guy in question didn’t have a front LP and was seen driving on my city’s roadway. He was lit up and chased into Irving.

The LP thing was a joke. I think he was racing another car.

I got pulled over for suspected egging right outside of my parents' house when I was 17.

I’m driving through the neighborhood and like a block away from their house lights come on behind me. So I pull over next to the yard and roll down the window. The cop spends some time shining a flashlight into the back of my 4Runner, then comes up and asks “have you been egging houses?”

“… no…”

“Hm.” He stands there for about fifteen seconds. “Well, some houses near here got egged, and I saw you coming through the neighborhood. Where are you headed?”

“My parents house — actually, I’m here, it’s this one right here.”

“Then why didn’t you pull into the driveway?”

“Because I saw your lights and so I just pulled over by the curb.”

“Let me see your license again so I can check the address.”

“Uh, sure…”

Then he left.

Took a shortcut through an intermediate school near my house. Got pulled over because there had been some thefts at that school and I was driving my truck. He pulled me over right next to my house.

He laughed and said just drive slower.

You can never have too many blenders.

And I mean that. For our wedding, we got two blenders, a food processor, and a coffee grinder. Apparently whole coffee beans are not good for any of those.

She didn't get it

It was funny. Later that night, we all played beer pong (about six of us), and JUST HER decided to make it strip pong. There we were, 30 minutes later, all of us clothed, and she was butt ass naked, everything on display (ugh).

It was so bizarre haha. Later (after she re-clothed), me and my two buddies were leaving and one was outside and one was in the bathroom, and I laid down on the bed downstairs waiting and she snuck in and straddled me. I straight up forearm shivered her off of me and she cussed me and hit me as I left. SCREAMING.

Depends on the state of your other accounts

Have a ROTH IRA yet?

by benjihana on Aug 10, 2011 12:10 PM CDT up reply actions  

no

I have my pension account with the State (which, apparently is pretty good….you get 70% of the average of your 3 highest paid years) and a 529 plan for my kids. that’s pretty much it. My wife has a simple IRA that an old boss contributed to that has been sitting stagnant for 4 years and an old 401K that she has from a very old job. I kind of need to do something with all of this. the lump some of cash in the money market account we’d invest is about $15K (the rest we’d wanna keep on hand in case shit happened)

We get 3% per year of service up to 96%. I guess 70% aint bad if you only have to do 20yrs to get it. We also have DROP. Look it up. It’s awesome. On top of that I put max into 401 and a 457.

the 70% is if you do 20+ AND notifiy the pension board of a set-in-stone retirement date 5 years in the future

basically, if you have 20 on, you can say “5 years from today I will be retiring” and you go from something like 66% of your highest average to 70%. something like that
