Which almost created an international political incident – and did create an international ‘issue’ . This story was related by one of my engineering professors who had inside information .

Missile tests were once launched from Green River, UT , to impact at White Sands , NM . This was back in the day that FORTRAN was the big up and coming engineering and scientific computer language , at a time when most engineers in practice used slide rules , tables of data , and experience to make calculations .

Impact at White Sands was determined by the amount of fuel loaded prior to launch from Green River . Some young up and coming IT type convinced the brass that he had a FORTRAN formula which would precisely calculate the amount of fuel to be loaded , so his formula was used for the next launch fuel load .

The day of launch came and the radar at White Sands was set to track the missile .

LAUNCH VERIFIED !

Radar crew : HERE IT COMES !

Radar crew : STILL COMING …

Radar crew : IT WENT OVERHEAD !

Radar crew : IT PASSED WHITE SANDS !

Radar crew : IT’S GOING TO IMPACT IN MEXICO !!!!

Fortunately , impact was in a deserted cemetery around Juarez , so there were no injuries and no lives lost .

Someone typing the IBM punch cards for ‘the formula ‘ had reversed the sign on one of the coefficients used in ‘the formula’ resulting in a slight overage in the amount of fuel loaded , and a longer trajectory .

So, back to the slide rules and tables and old timers’ experience for the next few launches .

You did make a liar out of me saying Richard won’t indulge him. I couldn’t see you indulging ghetto slurs by someone who maybe had too much bourbon. Hey that’s it needs someone to blame, their gonna be a tarrif on it now and the price is gonna go up. Yah know because their bourbon factory is losing money.

I guess not when there’s bigots who can mouth off disgusting and ignorant thug like comments and insults at people here out of the blue. Guess it feels safe that way compared to in person where someone else can’t control what’s thrown back at them.
Making a case for the libs I guess about the Alt Right.

French special forces on the ground in Yemen: Le Figaro

No one cares about damn Jews. Be a grown up and stop thinking the world revolves around some podunk scrap of land in the middle east.

Isn’t there room for pro and anti Israel opinions on this forum…especially since no one here seems to imbue their views with any stridency or bitterness…I always considered this place one big happy family…

I believe Richards response considering up till now has stayed more on topic with the market than personal opinions.
Anyways believe it was in response to Macros unprovolked personal attacks no one PCd about.

Oh Copper, I need a back brace now LOL about Trump sending out a negative tweet on Israel. He was bought and paid for by Sheldon to ascend to the Presidency. You think the embarressment moving to JEWrusalem was a mulligan?

BuyGold, help me, my sides are splitting…

Right up there with R640 getting off his Israeli knees…

green river (ut) is in a world all its own.  i was there last summer in a 23 year old van i got off craigslist.  it didn’t break down.  if anything, the area south of there, down toward hanksville is even more desolate.  if you’re in hanksville, be sure to eat at blondies.  best food for miles around!  friendly mormon waitresses!!

All is well at the quaking Volcano Ranch.  Got a bunch of cables pulled outside for the ham radios & put up a new 2-meter antenna.  Amazing the number of ‘new’ ham radio operators coming out of the woodwork now with the volcano emergency.  Many got licenses long ago but never got a radio until now.  Cheap, entry level technician radio for VHF & UHF is the Baofeng UV-5R everyone seems to start out with… around $35 bucks.

Don’t think I’d want to break down there.  Wow.  Pretty desolate.

Interesting updates and pics you have been giving us on the island activity .  Hope all’s well on the homestead.

Yes, that’s an old one. Glad you brought the Wall Street Journal story to my attention.  Ever notice the media always tells us things that we all already know about? They used to call it “anti Darwinian, survival of the unfittest”. Favoritism and artificial support, or “investment” in the under dog rather than the upper dog. Emotionally nice but not practical.

Keep trying to remember that pretty much everything from the past that was not right, has to go into reverse. Little by little. Did you hear about the immigration qualifications? Getting tough on immigration, the definition of asylum. No more lottery based more like merit based starting. So don’t be surprised if we start hearing little things about “underdog” employees and underdog businesses being thrown under the bus.

Like I keep saying but nobody remembers…..”Those who were doing well will not do so well. Those who were NOT doing well will do better.” “Anybody or organizations that were “getting away” with unjust things, will get thrown under the bus.” No more Mr. Nice Guy is the future. Its going to take a long time, and a lot of complaining from the losers that used to be winners.

Trump himself and the economic team today is a reversal of the past.

I understand exactly what you are doing. You’re trying to provoke a response which would actually put you in troll territory.

Further, you decided to do it on a day when metals are getting crushed and emotions are high. Purely planned.

Knock it off or GTFO.

Clear?

Apparently no one cares about Africa. Guess they figure after all the help they’ve gotten through the decades with no change it’s not worth the effort. That criminal and his cohorts should be tried and hanged.

Rand Slides To 6-Mo Lows As South Africa Unveils ‘Affirmative Action’ Mining Charter

South Africa’s still-newly-minted government has decided to apply the same cleansing of the “original sin,” to the nation’s resource mining operations…

Although it has been in Fox lately about affirmative action putting unqualified as preference over qualified it is also done in other areas including the medical field. Here’s some past on it and now it’s being done by outsourcing where qualifications can’t be assessed because it’s coming from somewhere else. There’s something on it in the first link of how their poster boy for affirmative action was let go after he couldn’t even preform basic dutys resulting in deaths and injuries.
They should require IQ tests for some jobs and change them making it harder to cheat.
Danger in the sky’s. Trading qualified for unqualified and helping them cheat and giving them the answers.
After the FAA changed its screening process in 2014, thousands of applicants who were already in the pipeline—people who had obtained an FAA-accredited degree, taken the AT-SAT exam and had been designated “well-qualified” to become air-traffic controllers—were told by the government that they would have to start the process again. “But this time, when they applied for a job, their college degrees and previous military experience would mean nothing,” reported Fox Business. “They would now compete with thousands of people the agency calls ‘off the street hires’; anyone who wants to, can walk in off the street without any previous training and apply for an air traffic control job.”

The silver COT report has to be the most bearish in the history of the silver market, and those numbers were as of Tuesday. That doesn’t mean the price has to tank anymore. That bearishness was possibly resolved today. 

Rand Slides To 6-Mo Lows As South Africa Unveils ‘Affirmative Action’ Mining Charter

Seemingly not satisfied with ‘enabling’ the violent deaths of hundreds of white farmers with their policy of redistribution (confiscation) of white-owned farm-land to poorer black farmers, South Africa’s still-newly-minted government has decided to apply the same cleansing of the “original sin,” to the nation’s resource mining operations.

I hope Bonterra isn’t buying Metanor. Metanor has been mining at a loss for about a jillion years. Death, taxes and the issuance of new shares by Metanor.

Doesn’t make any sense. A blip? I’m thinking AU AG will bounce from here. I’m thinking the dollar’s sudden bounce is a mistake. No reason for it. Markets sure are acting strange a long time now.

If this drop in AU and AG continues it’s a big deflation signal (big slowdown) for the global economy. And it would not surprise me as we enter no mans land transition area. As the economy continues progressing in REVERSE of the past.

From SCREWING America since WW II to restoring America from the extra screwing that started after 1971. There’s going to be very strange things happening. And in a deflation gold can come alive as people lose confidence in the central planners ability to manage the global economy.

The anti American scumbags “managed us” “stole” “embezzled” the USA to a point that resulted in the crisis in ’08.
