Frozen window
Had no idea that was a thing. I blame it on living my entire life in a sunny part of California. I'm ignorant of your cold weather pranks and humor.
No, it's a thing where people water their windows to make a sheet of ice they can break through that looks like a window...but you need to roll the glass down before sticking your head through...unless you're as hard headed as I am.
Ship battles giant waves in the North Sea
Oh cool, they have an "EVERYTHING'S FUCKED" alarm.
Also, I love their fish-shaped weather vane.
High-tech drones steal the show at the Winter Olympics
The excuse I heard was they were afraid of bad weather so pretaped it in December.
So; I understand this was all sort of manufactured for the broadcast? Or more properly: because people were standing underneath the drone area during opening ceremonies, NBC fell back on video tape of the dress rehearsal?
Anyone else understand this to be the case?

Hard to have a discussion when the basic psychological concept that is endemic in society is not understood by one side of the conversation. Not really worth trying to dig out of that hole, in my opinion.
I do like your idealist view of how people SHOULD be. We aren't that way, of course. I wish it for all our futures.
Including men, and the internalized messages they get that warp their view of the world.
I have contended for years that men are in a much worse psychological state than women. We at least are encouraged to delve into our emotions, with varying degrees of success. Poor men are told to buck up and be "men". What a horrible thing to say to a little boy, or a preteen, or a teenager, or a young man entering adulthood, or a grown man dealing with a difficult world. No wonder men die earlier than women. The pressures they are under are enormous, with no way to relieve that pressure.
Generally speaking. There is a movement that has been gathering steam that is encouraging men to become more fully themselves.
The hike was great, albeit too short. We don't have great big waterfalls here on the Olympic Peninsula. It has been raining a lot lately. The waterfall that we visited was THUNDERING. I have never seen a thundering waterfall here.
Then again, I don't normally hike in the winter.
As for the weather... some Norwegian told a friend of mine -- There is no bad weather. Only bad clothing.
My clothing was fine, aided by the fact it started raining after we headed back home.
I don't doubt there are some people who exhibit an absolute psychological subversion to an ideology or person that is detrimental to their general good, ie. Stockholm syndrome, but to conclude that this is representative of even a significant minority of people who eschew victimhood in favour of responsibility for ones own situation is a long bow to draw. This is in the context of the last 20 years. Going back further to the time pre the women's rights movement or the abolishment of segregation, there are more empirical examples of internalisation.
Internalised whatever is a diminished capacity argument, limiting or removing entirely responsibility for ones actions and placing the blame elsewhere. An argument I find holds water if you're talking about blacks under Jim Crow where it would have been more desirable to either be white, or be closer to white, to escape oppression. Essentially a hostage situation.
It's a concept that loses steam as society becomes more accepting over time. Women now have the might of legislation + a significant chunk of the media behind them. They no longer have to be willing victims (although as #metoo showed, many were willing to be victims or at least silent via payout/nda when it served their purposes). If a woman is an equal to man, she must have the right to make her own decisions and the responsibility to be held accountable for them.
Hope the hike goes well. I imagine it's pretty chilly this time of year?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
That crunchy cold-weather snow sound. Takes me back man.

Colbert To Trump: 'Doing Nothing Is Cowardice'
I don't think anyone suggests that civilian disarmament encourages tyranny, merely that civilian armament discourages tyranny.
In any case, there are a variety of applications that aren't "fighting hitler".
No country goes on forever without some domestic strife. Could be domestic war, could be economic collapse, could be the government scapegoating "your kind", could be a weather disaster, could be whatever.
In such an unlikely event, if you happen to be around at the time, you may wish to guard your family, food, fuel, etc.
Note that these events affect a LOT of people when they do happen (as in millions at a time).
Even though they are less frequent than a random shooting, the sheer quantity of people makes them significant.
Eg. The last Houston destruction by hurricane was in 1979 (38 years ago). That's not so infrequent, in a city of 2.3 million people (ish).
That's an upper bound of 60'000 people affected per year on average.
Either way, it's a lot of people that need to guard their homes from looters, etc.
Granted not everyone is on a destroyed street - but you see what I mean.
There have been plenty of disasters and riots in the last few decades where you wouldn't want to be caught helpless - just in case.
That's also a commentary on society. During the Fukushima disaster, nobody was looting or robbing, or whatever. Japan has a better behaved society.

@newtboy and @scheherazade,
I think I may have come up with a shorter line of evidence for a well armed population being protection against tyranny.
Granted, a poorly armed population with strong arms control laws doesn't necessarily devolve into tyranny. We can all demonstrate this with counter examples like up here in Canada. However, can anyone name an oppressive dictatorship that had 2nd amendment level freedoms for every man and woman in their state? I can't think of a single example myself.
As I said before, that doesn't lead me to immediately declare zero restrictions on guns are thus worth any cost to forestall future tyranny. However, I have to acknowledge that the NRA style argument for protection against tyranny isn't entirely without merit.
That leads to my objections with declaring that it is objectively obvious that gun freedoms must morally be pulled back, while at the same time objectively obvious that idealogical/religious practice freedoms must not. We have ample examples of extremists gathering together to plot violence, mayhem and death on a grand scale and putting some extra lines in the sand of when that becomes unacceptable is no more obviously immoral than restricting gun ownership.
Stuck at the airport all night long
I flew from Silicon Valley back to Providence and had to spend the night in Chicago O'hare due to the weather. My "Staring Sullenly All Night Long" video wasn't half as good as this.

Thank you my friend. Weather spoiled my wife's present of help-boarding, but I had a fun day going for a short hike, some wine, some beer and an epic meal!
Happy Birthday Kiwi! Hoping you have a wonderful day, preferably filled with bikes and or splitboards
...and a beer.
Have a great day
Trump Disavows Racists Over and Over Again - Media silent
So, @bobknight33 how was the weather in Charlottesville?
You're still avoiding answering any questions, I see. Easier to hide like a coward rather than face the fact you might be wrong I guess.
Do YOU support the marchers? Are you a member of any of the groups represented there? Clearly you support some racists, I'm just checking how far it goes. Where do you draw the line? Are Nazi slogans okay so long as you're on the right side of the barbed wire?
Helicopter Rescue Accident
It has a fan driven by the main gearbox. It's pretty rare for those to fail, but does spin like it lost control of yaw though. My first thought was since it's landing so close to the edge of that cliff, if the wind is moving from the right to left, there is going to be a big updraft coming over the cliff.
Watching it again, it looks like the pilot is having to fight some wind and seems to be having trouble keeping it down. Between 40-45 seconds, it looks like the wind changes as the helicopter appears to lift up and weather-vane into the wind just before losing control.
I found this video which is in German. If the Google auto-translate isn't too off, it says the cause is still unknown, but whoever they're interviewing at the end speculates that the helicopter was too heavy for the altitude it was operating at.
Cool pick up! But, doesn't NOTAR have a rotor IN the boom? Driving the ducted air that triggers the Coanda effect?
