As I predicted here days ago, the final episode of season 1 of Plur1bus is now available at this time here on the west-coast USA

Prime Video often reveals a new installment at midnight on the east-coast USA, which includes New York City

Midnight east-coast USA is 9 PM here on the west-coast of the previous day.

Wondering why they would choose 6 PM Pacific-time USA, I determined that midnight at the same time occurs, among smaller islands in the South Atlantic, in the country of Greenland, in the North Atlantic and is the world's largest island.

Because of my extensive past work, I have reasons to wonder about these things. First idea that comes to mind is that by using that time-zone, the individual episode debut is always the same day for the contiguous USA.

Ah, yes.

"Stole their soul"

Brilliant.

A good story demonstrating real-world impact of their blithering ignorance of the superstitions of religion

Too cowardly to cope with reality, those religion people think their Imaginary Friend gives them wings to flap up to the clouds when you die.

Those peddlers of superstition bunk know you are too cowardly to cope with reality so they indoctrinate into believing a demon is going to poke you in the butt with a pitchfork after you die.

Morons.

Thoughts formed day ago in my conscious mind, unmistakable. All but informative.



You don't know which parts.

Days ago became clear to me how it's happening.

Had thought of it before but now very recently, a sense of profound certainty I finally understand and a lot of it now makes sense to me, it seems to me now

Red Storm Rising (1986) - Tom Clancy

(from internet transcript)

excerpt, Chapter 20 – The Dance of the Vampires

The missiles hit within a second of one another, one on the after port corner of the flight deck, the other on the number two arrestor wire.

Toland was thrown fifteen feet, and slammed against a radar console. Next he saw a wall of pink flame that washed briefly over him. Then came the noises. First the thunder of the explosion. Then the screams. The after CIC bulkhead was no longer there; instead there was a mass of flame. Men twenty feet away were ablaze, staggering and screaming before his eyes. Toland's only thought was escape. He bolted for the watertight door. It opened miraculously under his hand and he ran to starboard. The ship's fire-suppression systems were already on, showering everything with a curtain of saltwater. His skin burned from it as he emerged, hair and uniform singed, to the flight deck catwalk. A sailor directed a water hose on him, nearly knocking him over the side.

"Fire in CIC!" Toland gasped.

"What the hell ain't!" the sailor screamed.

Toland fell to his knees and looked outboard. Foch had been to their north, he remembered. Now there was a pillar of smoke. As he watched, the last Kingfish was detonated a hundred feet over Saratoga's flight deck. The carrier seemed undamaged. Three miles away, Ticonderoga's after superstructure was shredded and ablaze from a rocket that had blown up within yards of her. On the horizon a ball of flame announced the destruction of yet another-my God, Toland thought, might that be Saipan? She had two thousand Marines aboard . . .

"Get forward, you dumbass!" a firefighter yelled at him. Another man emerged to the catwalk.

"Toland, you all right?" It was Captain Svenson, his shirt torn away and his chest bleeding from a half-dozen cuts.

"Yes, sir," Bob answered.

"Get to the bridge. Tell 'em to put the wind on the starboard beam. Move!" Svenson jumped up onto the flight deck.

Toland did likewise, racing forward. The deck was awash in firefighting foam, slippery as oil. Toland ran recklessly, falling hard on the deck before he reached the carrier's island. He was in the pilothouse in under a minute.

"Captain says put the wind on the starboard beam!" Toland said.

"It is on the fucking beam!" the executive officer snapped back. The bridge deck was covered with broken glass. "How's the skipper?"

"Alive. He's aft with the fire."

"And who the hell are you?" the XO demanded.

"Toland, group intel. I was in CIC."

"Then you're one lucky bastard. That second bird hit fifty yards from you. Captain got out? Anyone else?"

"I don't know. Burning like hell."

"Looks like you caught part of it, Commander."

Bob's face felt as if he'd shaved with a piece of glass. His eyebrows crumpled to his touch. "Flashburns, I guess. I'll be okay. What do you want me to do?"

The XO pointed to Toland's water wings. "Can you conn the ship.? Okay, do it. Nothing left to run into anyway. I'm going aft to take charge of the fire. Communications are out, radar's out, but the engines are okay and the hull's in good shape. Mr. Bice has the deck. Mr. Toland has the conn," XO announced as he left.

Toland hadn't conned anything bigger than a Boston Whaler in over ten years, and now he had a damaged carrier. He took a pair of binoculars and looked around to see what ships were nearby. What he saw chilled him.

Saratoga was the only ship that looked intact, but on second glance her radar mast was askew. Foch was lower in the water than she ought to have been, and ablaze from bow to stem.

"Where's Saipan?"

"Blew up like a fucking firework," Commander Bice replied. "Holy Jesus, there were twenty-five hundred men aboard! Tico took one close aboard. Foch took three hits, looks like she's gone. Two frigates and a destroyer gone, too-just fucking gone, man! Who fucked up? You were in CIC, right? Who fucked up?"

Red Storm Rising (1986) - Tom Clancy

(from internet transcript)

excerpt, Chapter 16

A door opened, and a sailor dressed in what looked like a purple planeflueler's shirt joined him on the flight deck catwalk.

"Darkened ship, sailor. I'd dump that cigarette," Toland said sharply, more annoyed to have his precious solitude destroyed.

"Sorry, sir." The butt sailed over the side. The man was silent for a few minutes, then looked at Toland. "You know about the stars, sir?"

"What do you mean?"

"This is my first cruise, sir, an' I grew up in New York. Never saw the stars like this, but I don't even know what they are-the names, I mean. You officers know all that stuff, right?"

Toland laughed quietly. "I know what you mean. Same with my first time out. Pretty, isn't it?"

"Yes, sir. What's that one?" The boy's voice sounded tired. Small wonder, Toland thought, with all the flight operations they've been through today. The youngster pointed to the brightest dot in the eastern sky, and Bob had to think for a few seconds.

"That's Jupiter. A planet, not a star. With the quartermaster's spyglass, you can pick out her moons-some of them anyway." He went on to point out some of the stars used for navigation.

"How do you use 'em, sir?" the sailor asked.

"You take a sextant and plot their height above the horizon-sounds harder than it is, just takes some practice-and you check that against a book of star positions."

"Who does that, sir?"

"The book? Standard stuff. I imagine the book we use comes from the Naval Observatory in D.C., but people have been measuring the tracks of the stars and planets for three or four thousand years, long before telescopes were invented. Anyway, if you know the exact time, and you know where a particular star is, you can plot out where you are on the globe pretty accurately, within a few hundred yards if you really know your stuff. Same thing with the sun and the moon. That knowledge has been around for hundreds of years. The tricky part was inventing a clock that kept good time. That happened about two hundred and some years ago."

"I thought they used satellites and stuff like that."

"We do now, but the stars are just as pretty."

"Yeah." The sailor sat down, his head leaning way back to watch the curtain of white points. Beneath them the ship's hull churned the water to foam with the whispering sound of a continuously breaking wave. Somehow the sound and the sky matched each other perfectly. "Well, at least I learned something about the stars. When's it gonna start, sir?"

Toland looked up at the constellation of Sagittarius. The center of the galaxy was behind it. Some astrophysicists said there was a black hole in there. The most destructive force known to physics, it made the forces under man's control appear puny by comparison. But men were a lot easier to destroy.

"Soon."

Tenille: [clears throat] I'm a man of few words. [pause] Any questions?

Homer: What's a jib?

The submarine, sailing at surface level across the sea, is under the command of Captain Tenille, who explains to us naval tradition while smoking a cigar.

Tenille: The Navy has a fine sense of tradition. Whenever an American vessel leaves port, the crew sings this ancient sea chanty. Ah one, ah two, ah three, ah four...

The entire crew begins singing "In The Navy". Homer, Moe, and Barney mop and dance to the music, while the Village People dance on deck with Smithers.

[closing narration]

Narrator: Exit Mr. Luther Dingle, formerly vacuum cleaner salesman, strongest man on Earth, and now mental giant. These latter powers will very likely be eliminated before too long, but Mr. Dingle has an appeal to extraterrestrial notetakers, as well as to frustrated and insolvent bet losers. Offhand, I'd say that he was in for a great deal of extremely odd periods, simply because there are so many inhabited planets who send down observers, and also because, of course, Mr. Dingle lives his life with one foot in his mouth - and the other in The Twilight Zone.

On the local antenna broadcast live-tv news channel I view, one of their photographers has a section they title Back to the Archives

Tonight's installment was entertaining because of the ending of the segment

It was overall about X-mas toys from year 1994.

At then ending, a boy (about 9 years old perhaps) is shown climbing aboard a toy rocking horse

The original commentator says it has "a high-tech twist" and I think that's hilarious

This ridiculously labeled "high-tech" toy for $23 in year 1994 (equivalent to about $50 in year 2025 according to CPI Inflation calculator) simply makes a horse sound as the kid rocks back and forth.

Hilarious

I am thinking that was actually Sam Altman on the toy horse (was not but that's just how idiotic are those A.I. Kiddies today)

Red Storm Rising (1986) - Tom Clancy, author

(from internet transcript)

excerpt, Chapter 20 – The Dance of the Vampires

Aboard Nimitz, Toland could feel the carrier heeling into a radical turn, her engines advanced to flank speed, driving the massive warship at over thirty-five knots. Her nuclear-powered escorts, Virginia and California, were also tracking the Kingfish, their own missiles trained out on their launchers.

The Kingfish were at eight thousand feet, one hundred miles out, covering a mile every four seconds. Each had now selected a target, choosing the largest within their fields of view. Nimitz was the nearest large ship, with her missile-ship escorts to her north.

Tico launched her first quartet of missiles as the targets reached a range of ninety-nine miles. The rockets exploded into the air, leaving a trail of pale gray smoke. They had barely cleared the launch rails when the mounts went vertical and swiveled to receive their reloads. The load-and-fire time was under eight seconds. The cruiser would average one missile fired every two seconds. Just over three minutes later, her missile magazines were empty. The cruiser emerged from the base of an enormous gray arch of smoke. Her only remaining defenses were her gun systems.

The SAMs raced in at their targets with a closing speed of over two thousand miles per hour, directed in by the reflected waves of the ship's own fire-control radars. At a range of a hundred fifty yards from their targets, the warheads detonated. The Aegis system did quite well. Just over 60 percent of the targets were destroyed. There were now eighty-two incoming missiles targeted on a total of eight ships.

Other missile-equipped ships joined the fray. In several cases two or three missiles were sent for the same target, usually killing it. The number of incoming "vampires" dropped to seventy, then sixty, but the number was not dropping quickly enough. The identity of the targets was now known to everyone. Powerful active jamming equipment came on. Ships began a radical series of maneuvers like some stylized dance, with scant attention paid to station-keeping. Collision at sea was now the least of anyone's worries. When the Kingfish got to within twenty miles, every ship in the formation began to fire off chaff rockets, which filled the air with millions of aluminized Mylar fragments that fluttered on the air, creating dozens of new targets for the missiles to select from. Some of the Kingfish lost lock with their targets and started chasing Mylar ghosts. Two of them got lost, and selected new targets on the far side of the formation.

The radar picture on Nimitz suddenly was obscured. What had been discrete pips designating the positions of ships in the formation became shapeless clouds. Only the missiles stayed constant: inverted V-shapes, with line vectors to designate direction and speed. The last wave of SAMs killed three more. The vampire count was down to forty-one. Toland counted five heading for Nimitz Topside, the final defensive weapons were now tracking the targets. These were the CIWS, 20mm Gatling guns, radar-equipped to explode incoming missiles at a range of under two thousand yards. Designed to operate in a fully automatic mode, the two after gun mounts on the carrier angled up and began to track the first pair of incoming Kingfish. The portside mount fired first, the six-barrel cannon making a sound like that of an enormous zipper. Its radar system tracked the target, and tracked the outgoing slugs, adjusting fire to make the two meet.

The leading Kingfish exploded eight hundred yards from Nimitz's port quarter. The thousand kilograms of high explosive rocked the ship. Toland felt it, wondering if the ship had been hit. Around him, the CIC crewmen were concentrating frantically on their jobs. One target track vanished from the screen. Four left.

The next Kingfish approached the carrier's bow and was blasted out of the sky by the forward CIWS, too close aboard. Fragments ripped across the carrier's deck, killing a dozen exposed crewmen.

Number three was decoyed by a chaff cloud and ran straight into the sea half a mile behind the carrier. The warhead caused the carrier to vibrate and raised a column of water a thousand feet into the air.

The fourth and fifth missiles came in from aft, not a hundred yards apart. The after gun mount tracked on both, but couldn't decide which to engage first. It went into Reset mode and petulantly didn't engage any.

Microsoft is farming in Quincy?

By Brier Dudley

Seattle Times staff columnist

Brier Dudley's blog

It's finally clear why Microsoft is building huge, windowless buildings in farm country east of the Cascades.

They have a lot to do with Google, and that growing pile of CDs, videotapes and snapshots taking over your closet. They're also a monument to Microsoft's 10-year odyssey to become a leading Internet company. It's been a game of catch-up, but the company seems energized by new executives, a new online strategy and big investments such as the mysterious buildings in Quincy, not far from the Columbia River in Grant County.

A few weeks ago, Microsoft paid $1.08 million for 75 acres, where it's building three structures totaling 1.4 million square feet. That's about the size of 10 Costcos.

Inside they'll hold thousands of data-serving computers. The industry calls them server farms, and Microsoft's will be huge, taking advantage of cheap hydroelectricity and fiber-optic connections to an Internet arterial crossing the state.

Who or what the hell canceled winter here so far this year?

Nothing speaks better to the primitives of this planet than your ridiculous religions

Nothing speaks better about your primitive superstitions of your religions than the weather above your monkey forehead.

A topic I often review is the improbability of certain weather events around me

Is human technology capable of causing the atmospheric river the USA west-coast is experiencing?

Is this new weapon's testing? A weapon to strategically alter a foreign region's climate?

Without my original-work, I would simply dismiss it as natural variability and that is still hands down the most likely cause.

This planet Earth did not become overnight capable of supporting complex life

Earth has been around for 5 billion years - the hard-working capable-of-independent-thought scientist *experts* tell us - so there has been plenty of time for this planet to get it right.

Weather and climate is about balance.



Their graphed blue-line represents what should have happened on that particular day, if average represents "normal"

Their graphed black-line represents observed measurements that actually happened on that particular day



Also, I read experts refer to a warming planet and while that is probably true - because of you selfish polluters out there - all we know for certain is the numbers are higher.

Sure, I would like to think that scientists are compensating but I am not certain of that. Certainly they understand the issue.

The numbers alone do not accurately represent climate trends, is what I suspect.

DANIEL
Do you know what this means?

O'NEILL
(rubbing his eyes)
No! I'm just looking at it and the words just pop right into my fron.

[Daniel just stares at him. O'Neill shakes his head wearily.]

O'NEILL
Does anybody think this is odd?

[Daniel, Teal'c and O'Neill exchange glances.]

The whole point was to not check the numbers until I got back.

A few hours later I discovered that astronaut statue.

If our purpose is to not cause each other harm, why, then, are we doing battle?

Fort Apache (1948)

Quotes

[the regiment is getting ready to attack - Col. Thursday scans the horizon with his binoculars]

Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: I don't see them. Not a one.

Captain Yorke: Well, they're down there, sir... among the rocks.

Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: Have you seen 'em, Captain?

Captain Yorke: I don't have to - I know.

Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: How?

Captain Yorke: 'Cause if I were Cochise, that's where I'd take up position.

Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: And that dust cloud beyond?

Captain Yorke: It's an Apache trick. Probably squaws and children draggin' mesquite.

Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: [dubious, sarcastically] Very ingenious, Captain. You make me suspect your Cochise has studied under Alexander the Great, or Bonaparte at the least. Gentlemen, march your troops. We'll charge in a column of fours.

Captain Yorke: Mounted in fours? That's suicide, Colonel! I tell you they're down there...

Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: Captain Yorke, you're relieved of command of your troop. There's no room in this regiment for a coward.

Captain Yorke: [angrily throws down his glove in front of Col. Thursday] At your service, sir!

Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: Bugler, pick up Captain Yorke's gauntlet. I'm no duellist, Captain. I will decide whether I will answer you with pistols or a general court martial.

CATHERINE
That's right, Jackson. It's on the other side of the...known universe.

JENNY
We're-we're losing the signal!

INT GATE ROOM

[The wormhole shuts down.]

INT CONTROL ROOM, LATER

[One screen shows video from the probe. It's pictures of a room, and another Stargate. West and O'Neil stand with several others analyzing the data.]

WEST
This is the information the probe sent back to us. Freeze and enhance. You can clearly see the 'gate on the other side. Both 'gates must have functioned as a doorway between our worlds.

JOHNSON
These readings tell us it's an atmospheric match. Barometric pressure, temperature, and most importantly, oxygen.

[One computer monitor shows reading results of "Life Support Possible." Daniel is looking at another screen showing close ups of the chevrons on the other Stargate.]

DANIEL
These markings are different. They don't match the symbols on our 'gate.

WEST
That's why we may have to abort. This project is for naught without a reconnaissance mission.

JOHNSON
Once on the other side, we'd have to decipher the markings on their 'gate, and in essence dial home in order to bring the team back.

FERRETTI
You know, I can't believe we're stuck here.

FREEMAN
Don't be such a doomsayer, Ferretti.

REILLY
Yeah, give it a rest.

BROWN
Yes, please. If we're not back soon, they'll just turn on the 'gate from the other side.

FERRETTI
Oh, no. It doesn't work that way. You see, if you don't turn it on from here, we're screwed. So I'm telling you guys, we're not going anywhere!

REILLY
Shut up.
