INTERESTING: Do planning boards keep up with technology?

Mathmetician solves puzzle of parking lots

*** begin quote ***
All planners need to do is place the bays at a 45 degree angle, which cuts down the turning circle required and therefore needs a smaller access lane, freeing up more space for parking.
*** end quote ***
I find this fascinating.
Large?
Peplos Republic of Nu Jerzee has some HUGE ones.
I’d imagine that this would be an easy update.
Wanna bet that it’s not permitted by zoning codes!!!
Argh!

INTERESTING: Walter E. Williams proposes a thought experiment

Challenges for Black People: Part II
By Walter E. Williams
July 20, 2016
*** begin quote ***
Here’s an experiment. Meet with black people such as Reps. John Conyers (age 87), Charles Rangel (86), Eddie Bernice Johnson (80), Alcee Hastings (79) and Maxine Waters (77). Ask them whether their parents would have tolerated their assaulting and cursing teachers or any other adult. I bet you the rent money that their parents — or any other parents they knew when they were growing up — would not have accepted the grossly disrespectful behavior seen today among many black youngsters, using foul language and racial epithets. Older blacks will tell you that had they behaved that way, they would have felt serious pain in their hind parts. If blacks of past generations would not accept such self-destructive behavior, why should today’s blacks accept it?
*** end quote ***
Pretty easy to know what the parents of yesteryear would or would not tolerate.
The problem is the socialism of the “Secular Progressive” movement.
Welfare destroys communities and the incentive to do better.
We, as a society, can not afford the lost human creativity.
With almost a third of the population not working, the current “boom” is doomed!

INTERESTING: Silently changing the game — just like has been done in the USA
Wednesday, July 6, 2016The science of the perfect free kick: Researchers reveal the physics of football’s set piece – and say Gareth Bale has the perfect technique
- A ball in flight experiences what is called called the Magnus force
- Backspins have been deemed useless for for free kick
- Sidespin used if shot is under-hit and topspin used to bring ball down fast
- Wales player Gareth Bale help us as ‘perfect’ player
By KEN BRAY WITH THE CONVERSATIONPUBLISHED: 18:01 EST, 29 June 2016 | UPDATED: 18:38 EST, 29 June 2016
*** begin quote ***
For nearly 40 years the ball’s panel pattern followed the classic hexagon-pentagon format with 32 panels, but in 2006 the design changed radically.
*** end quote ***
So “Football” (aka Soccer) is not the same, but it has change silently for some reason.
Just like Baseball and Football changed to make the game more “exciting”.
I guess that nothing cane just be “historically accurate”!
So sad. Put an ASTERISK on every “record book”.
Argh!

INTERESTING: Flaws from “The Walking Dead” last night
Monday, April 4, 2016‘The Walking Dead’ Finale: Negan Makes His Mark in Bloody Debut (SPOILERS)
News Editor Laura Prudom News Editor @lauinla
APRIL 3, 2016 | 07:35PM PT
*** begin quote ***
Negan then proceeded to play his sadistic game, but the final moments of the episode switched to the perspective of his victim, showing Negan bringing down Lucille on someone’s head. As the casualty’s vision blurred and ears began to ring, blood dripped down the camera before the screen cut to black, even as the audio kept playing the sounds of impact and the rest of the survivors’ screams. Ouch.
*** end quote ***
Sorry, but you don’t go blundering around “looking” for trouble.
Guess none of the survivors ever had any military training or even read any of the many field manuals.
Argh!
A sniper could have wiped out any of the ambushes.
Wouldn’t you put scouts out ahead of your advance?
How about NOT driving blindly down a road with high banks on either side of the narrow road and then act surprised that there’s an ambush?
Argh!
I have read a lot and even written in the genre “Post Apocalyptic World Fiction” aka PAW. This is lame! If it was presented to the “survivalist” community, then it’d be laughed off the bulletin board.
IMHO if this is “successful” PAW, even if it is on the off brand AMC cable channel, then the viewers are very uncritical or uncaring.
Argh!

INTERESTING: UTC is the ONLY “time zone”!
Wednesday, February 24, 2016Should time zones be SCRAPPED? A global universal clock based on the Earth’s rotation could ‘end confusion for travellers’ (but it might be dark at midday!)
- Researchers claim the internet has ‘annihilated’ time and space on Earth
- There are 40 different time zones in use in different parts of the world
- These create confusion for travellers, financial markets and governments
- Adopting UTC around the world would simplify things, the scientists argue

By Aaron C. Davis and Sarah Halzack January 15 at 8:41 PM
*** begin quote ***
Walmart abruptly announced Friday that it was abandoning a promise to build stores in Washington’s poorest neighborhoods, an agreement that had been key to the deal allowing the retailer to begin operating in the nation’s capital.
*** end quote ***
Simple answer is why didn’t you insist that the poor neighborhood stores be build first?

INTERESTING: Keep “the game” on the field

The late penalty that doomed the Bengals was provoked by a Steelers coach illegally on the field
By Cyd Zeigler @CydZeigler on Jan 11, 2016, 7:33a
# – # – # – # – #
In thinking back on that game, there was a lot of action on the field by players not in the game, spectators, and various coaches.
That’s just not right.
Seems like we need a rule like hockey’s third man in rule. I’d keep the coaches, bystanders, and not-in-the-game players off the field. Like a TWO game misconduct!
Sorry, but “the game” is sacrosanct. What the players do is what should matter; not anything else.
The various administrators of the game should take steps to protect the integrity of the game.
Basketball coaches are restricted to their “box”.
Ditto for the other sports.
Argh!

INTERESTING: But is he? – Washington Post
Saturday, January 2, 2016A Marine’s Convictions: After flawed military sex assault investigation, Naval Academy teacher fights to prove he’s innocent. But is he? – Washington Post
By John Woodrow Cox Published on March 10, 2016
https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/local/marine/?tid=a_inl
I found this a compelling read.
One of the most quoted excerpts from Scottish poetry is derived from Canto VI, XVII: Oh, what a tangled web we weave. When first we practise to deceive! Felicia Hemans used two lines from Marmion as an epigraph for her poem of 1827, The Homes of England.
Wow, he really “stepped in it”, and the Post reporter dug his grave with the lies.
Reporter should get a Pullitzer.
As a computer security guru, I doubt the cellphone evidence. Chain of custody was non-existent. The NCIS should have seized all the evidence at time of investigation. It doesn’t say what Stadler’s specialty was but for a USNA graduate there had to be some computer courses there. Fabricating message might not be that hard.
But Thompson was less than 100% truthful so that makes it look bad for him.
What a mess.

INTERESTING: Fifty percent of what we just taught you were wrong
Saturday, January 2, 2016https://www.lewrockwell.com/2016/01/dr-david-brownstein/natural-salt-good/
Salt Restriction Increases Heart Disease Deaths and Hospitalizations
By Dr. David Brownstein
January 1, 2016
*** begin quote ***
Since graduating from medical school in 1989, I have come to the conclusion that much of what I was taught was wrong. In fact, at my medical school graduation, the dean said, “Fifty percent of what we just taught you were wrong, your job is to figure out which part was correct and which was incorrect.” When medical students come to my office, I always encourage them to question everything I tell them and, furthermore, to question what they have been taught.
*** end quote ***
Wow, this does nothing to inspire confidence in “medicine”.
It wasn’t that way in injineering skrule!
And, add the Gooferment’s gigantic interference in the medical marketplace and my confidence drops even further.
So, I guess we do need IBM’s Watson to “help” doctors like the TV commercial says.
Argh!
