Kindle Haram

A breakaway sect of Boko Haram, the Kindle Haram, has been formed by an unlikely alliance of Pennsylvania Amish and Nigerian Muslims...

Goodluck with that

So, I have to say: Nigeria is its own reward.  And thanks for all the spam, dear prince...

Basically its becoming easier and easier to just nuke the Saudis, Sunnis, Wahabbists and Salafis.  Besides, our oil exports become more valuable when arabia is burning.

Or perhaps camel-flu (MERS) will help... or Ebola in the Hajj.

Got Ebola?

Bats ---chicken of the cave.

Maybe Ebola is the cure for Boko Haram.

Maybe both are good reason to shoot down anything leaving the continent.

HIV is too slow.

Bring back our Boeing

Those Boko girls have been located, they're partying with the MH370 passengers..

Its pretty good to discover 15 year old music that you didn't like at the time.

Bromine

Ok, long time no post.  Look at a screen all day, don't want to look at them later.

Xmas break.  Forced offwork.

Got a pound+ of brominating spa chemicals (Bromo-chloro-dimethylhydantoin) at the local recyling place.  Its been staring at me in my mancave / garage for a month.

Had some 20% perox ie wood bleach from same place.

Both free.

Mix in 180mL Ozeki sake cup, with salsa tube with icecube + water on top.
(Obviously, free too)

Profit.  Get bubbling orange water.  Add a layer of paint thinner on top, it gets more intense (Br soluable in nonpolars.. as well as making Bromine water).  On the plastic tub capping the reaction flask I see orange condensate --pure Bromine.

Smells like between Chlorine and Iodine, not surprisingly.  Not very dangerous outside, it doesn't get much hot, and Br is noticable well before harming you.

The reaction is much like getting iodine by oxidizing KI with perox.

When I was a kid I almost gassed myself with pool chlorine + acid.

I've worked with Iodine, eg NI3, as a kid.

I will not mess with fluorine :-)

There are 6e9 targets.  Exposures will occur, lets say uniformly, over 70 days.
So you have 30 days from now to start treating 6e9/70 people per day.

It is possible to live as a Hermit, and Amish Atheist, in Irvine.


I don't answer my landline, my cell doesn't work at home, I often don't use the computer at home.



I have designed circuits in Verilog, written code, GUIs, medical devices, crypto, metnworking etc.  Built digital logging geiger counters, chemistry, x-ray generators from scratch.  Unix from Sunos 4.3 to Ubuntu.  I like firearms.  Made thermite from beach sand.  Raised a cat for 18 years.  Grow catnip.  WokADog.

You probably don't want to fuck with me.   I mean, intellectually.  Physically, we don't go there.  A thumbscrew will convert 95% of humanity.  A thumbscrew on their child gets the other 5%.

dog park

Took dog to DP in a loaner car that's not supposed to have pets.  Or go to mexico.
(Duh)  Or smoke.  Well, two of three... but I bought those newcarsmell trees and will deploy.  Loaner is too big and drives differently.  I don't need electrical carseat adjustment.  I like the moonroof.  But for $2K I get my familiar Subaru with another year or two.  I want to give it to my nearly 14 year old son in 2 years.



Told a newcomer to DP family/dog to unleash, dog loved running free.  A bit dominant but not seriously ill behaved.  It was a adopted from a 'foster parent' who got it from someone who could no longer care for it.  Cool.  they were friendly persians who had found the DP because they needed to get rid of paint and the Irvine haz waste dropoff is right next door.

(In fact I like snagging useful chems from them when I visit, but they're closed on Sun and Mon, and the DP is closed on Weds.)

The DP city staff posted something saying they'll remove dogbowls.  WTF, dogs sniff butts, nosetouch, roll in poop, do you really think shared bowls are a problem?

I am considering epoxying a bowl to the infrastructure.  Or, bring cutup milk jugs.

Why is there a picture of someone at a tomato festival (I think) next to a chemical weapons thread?

historical jewish tomato harvesting

During late 1951 Eddie decided to try growing tomatoes in south Florida. The timing was perfect for him. The growing season for tomatoes didn’t start until the growing season in upstate New York ended, and it was over in time for Eddie to return to New York. He shipped his equipment to Florida and rented a modest field near Homestead, south of Miami, where he successfully grew a tomato crop.

The following summer he spoke enthusiastically about Florida farming to my father, and convinced him that he should join him in a larger tomato growing venture during the coming winter growing season. 

My parents would usually close their tavern for a winter vacation in Florida. The vacations had been limited when my sisters were in high school because they objected to missing classes, but once they both went to college and I was the only public school student, the vacation periods lengthened. I didn’t particularly mind missing some school. Although the school administration objected to my leaving school for a time, my father told them that he and my mother were going to Florida, and did they expect them to leave me home alone? While I was away, they marked my report card “on vacation” for the time that I was gone. Only one teacher, Miss Bennett, the mathematics teacher, penalized me by not letting me return to intermediate algebra, because she thought that I had missed too much while on vacation.

Growing Tomatos in Florida

My uncle Eddie was a full time farmer. A bachelor for most of his life, he didn’t own a home. Most years he boarded with my uncle Max or with my uncle Harry during the vegetable growing season in upstate New York. Eddie didn’t like winter, and at the end of the farming season he usually drove his gray Hudson pick up truck to Florida.

Vegetable farming, or “truck farming” as it was generally known, did not require a great deal of equipment. The typical crops were corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, and various types of summer and winter squash. The major piece of equipment was a tractor equipped with a plow to till the soil, a harrow or disc to break up the plowed soil, cultivators to destroy weeds growing in the rows, and a trailer to haul bags of fertilizer and hand tools throughout the fields and to bring the ripe produce to a central point. A lot of the work was manual labor: cutting the weeds away from each growing plant with a long handled hoe. 

when I was a kid I had to "rake rocks" from the new england terrain.  I got too much sun; will probably kill me.  Also, it sucked.

Now, I farm cannabis in potting soil in 5 gal pots, bottom irrigated for the most part, at ca. 30 lat.

Jack, dig? 

This is one and a half potato chips per minute. from sun

At max Arizona Noon June insolation, 1000 W/m^2.

that is 1000 joules / sec / m^2

BTW I am supposedly 2.4 m^2 according to my Dr :-)
so half my body (eg, lying on the beach) is ca. 1 m^2.

1000 J = 1000 J / 4.12 J/cal = 250 cal = 0.25 Cal.  Per sec. (as watts are j/sec)


60/4 = 15 Cal per minute.  

This is one and a half potato chips per minute.

final solution

Everyone in govt --kill them. And their wives.

They are terrorists.  Enemies of the state.

If you are not in US, and you see a US person, off them.
Otherwise, treat them as your master.

Your choice.

Idle: 550 rpm
Idle with AC: 700 rpm
diff: 150 rpm

freeway: 3000 rpm

550 rpm / 60 sec/min = 9 rps.

9 RPS (measured) X 2.5L (nom total cylinder cap) X 0.25 (Otto four-stroke) = 5.6 L/sec

I personally breathe maybe a tenth of that?   Or less?

I once freaked on a concrete-lined freeway into LA when I realized all these creeping cars were competing with me for oxygen.
