Electric Vehicles exploding after water damage from Hurricane…

There’s a ton of EVs disabled from Ian. As those batteries corrode, fires start. That’s a new challenge that our firefighters haven’t faced before. At least on this kind of scale. #HurricaneIan

October 7: The Feast of Our Lady of Victory

Feast of Our Lady of Victory  is celebrated on 7 October in the General Roman Calendar.  7 October is the anniversary of the decisive victory of the combined fleet of the Holy League of 1571 over the Ottoman navy at the Battle of Lepanto.

The Battle of Lepanto

For those who know little history, today’s battle with the Islamic State in the Middle East may seem new and unprecedented. It is not. In a.d. 622, Mohammed set out from Medina to conquer the whole Christian world for Allah by force of arms. Within a hundred years, his successors had occupied and pillaged every Christian capital of the Middle East, from Antioch through North Africa (home of Saint Augustine) and Spain. All that remained outside Allah’s reign was the northern arc from Southern France to Constantinople. What we are seeing in 2014 has a history of more than 1,300 years — a very bloody, terror-ridden history. Except that today the struggle is far, far more secular than religious — a war over political institutions and systems of law, with almost no public argument over religious doctrine.

1571, October 7th.

The Battle of Lepanto.  After decades of attacks on coastal cities in Greece, the Balkans, Italy, France and Spain; the great Islamic fleet that was assembled for conquest was brought to battle by a Christian Fleet from many nations and city-states.

The British are justifiably proud of what they did in 1588 and the Battle of Britain.   But if the Christians had lost at Lepanto, very likely it would have been a Muslim Europe in 1940.

Anyone who clings to the historically untrue-and thoroughly immoral-doctrine that, ‘violence never settles anything’ I would advise to conjure the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it.

The ghost of Hitler could referee…

Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedom.

Let us this day salute the courage, blood and sacrifice of our Christian forbearers.  But for them we would be slaves to a demon cult of slavers.

Later this week, The Battle of Tours!

Hard to know what to say about this development.

Ukrainians plan apocalyptic orgy in event of Putin launching nuke

Ukrainians fearing that Russian President Vladimir Putin may unleash a nuke have organized another big bang — a wild sex party in the event that the warmonger’s threat becomes reality.

More than 15,000 people have signed up for “Orgy on Shchekavystsa: Official,” a mass romp set up on a Telegram group in the event of Putin launching a nuclear blast, Vice News reported.

The would-be participants in the carnal extravaganza on a hill outside the capital, Kyiv, have been instructed to adorn their hands with stripes to specify what activities they’re interested in, according to the news outlet.

The Telegram channel also has posted updates on the ongoing war, describing the counteroffensive efforts in the city of Kherson as “BDSM parties for Russians.”

An air raid siren last week prompted one eager member of the orgy group to post: “Is it time?” Hundreds responded with smiley-face emojis.

Funny thing that.

No one steals the work boots at DSW either.

Not sabotage? Could be, read and learn.

Ok, the Nord pipeline incidents.

In my experience when anything involving energy-industry hydrocarbons explodes … well, sabotage isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. And honestly, when it comes to a pipeline running natural gas under Russian (non)maintenance, an explosion means that it’s Tuesday. Or Friday. Or another day of the week ending in “y”.

…

Under certain circumstances of pressure, temperature, and water presence natural gas/methane will form solid hydrates, with concomitant amounts of fun.

…

The Recommended Best Practice to clear a hydrate plug is a vvveeerryyy slllooowww depressurisation from BOTH ENDS, SIMULTANEOUSLY.

How slowly, you ask? For a pipeline the size of Nordstream we’re talking weeks.

As the line reaches local atmospheric pressure heat is transferred to the plug from the environment, and the plug begins to melt, starting at the plug/wall interface.

However, if you are a national gas company with institutional paranoia, a Nationalised aversion to looking weak or asking for help, and a Good Idea Fairy fueled by vodka — well, you can depressurise the pipe from one end.

…

“So, LawDog,” I hear you say, “What do you think happened?”

Honestly, I suspect someone in the Russian government pinged Gazprom, and said, “The EU is about to have a cold winter. make sure those pipelines sodding well work, so we can sell someone natural gas at massively increased prices.”

So, Somebody In Charge started running checks — and came up with hydrate slurry in both pipelines. After the running in circles, hyperventilating, and shrieking of curse-words stopped, somebody started trying to remediate both lines. Of course they didn’t tell folks down stream — no Russian want to look weak, and besides, there’s been a nasty uptick in failed Russian oligarchs getting accidentally defenestrated — they just unilaterally tried to Fix Things.

Read the whole thing, very educational and entertaining.

I find this a little disturbing.

American sabotage? American gas prices increase, definitely!

Well, honestly no big impact on the climate. Since the pipelines were not active the gas coming up from the ocean floor is the pressurized gas in the pipeline to maintain the pipelines integrity, that outpouring will soon cease.
More gas is vented to the atmosphere from natural sources and the unburned remnants from wells that regularly burn off excess gas when there isn’t enough storage or pipeline capacity to use it.

However, that gas will be, is being, replaced with seawater at pressure. Since this is, to my knowledge, an totally new type of disaster the long term damage to the pipeline is unknown. But I’ll bet that even if the War ended today, those pipelines won’t be supplying Natural Gas to Europe any time this coming winter.  Speaking of winter, bearing down on us as we watch,  very soon the weather in the North Sea will preclude any work on repairing those pipelines.

Natural Gas is a commodity, if the price skyrockets worldwide then the price paid here this winter will also increase.  More of those LNG tankers will be heading to Europe and leave many areas especially in the Northeast begging.

Now do you care about this criminal act?
