Are You Nuts? Know your Fishing Knots! – The Surgeon Loop Knot

https://www.alloutdoor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/20220920_182135.jpg

The Surgeon Loop Knot is the fastest and easiest loop knot to tie. If you can tie an overhand knot, you can tie this knot. While it isn’t as neat and elegant as some other loop knots, it is a very strong loop knot that does not easily slip. You can use the Surgeon Loop Knot to make a loop at the end of your line for attaching weights or clips. Or as shown in this article, to make a loop to where you are attaching your hook or lure. While it is shown with a hook in this article, this knot excels for tying on lures and flies. The open loop gives whatever is tied to more action and movement. For just tying an empty loop just follow the same instructions without a hook.

Step 1

Run the line through the eye of the hook and bring the tag end of the line back along the mainline. Make sure your tag end of the line is long enough for the overhand loop to pass over the hook or lure.

The larger the hook or lure the longer the tag end should be

Step 2

Make an overhand loop using the doubled line and hook, make sure to keep the lines together and not twisted.

Step 3

Pass the doubled line and hook through the overhand loop in the mainline one more time, again keeping this tidy is important for the final knot.

Step 4

Moisten the knot and line then hold the hook or lure and the standing line and pull to tighten the knot. Make sure to adjust the loop size at this point. Once the knot has been snugged down trim the tag end to about a 1/4 inch. For fishing lures and jigs you want to have a loop about the size of an M&M, anything bigger and cause the lure to tangle.

It’s been a long time since we needed floppy disks to store data. But we still enjoyed watching this retro factory video posted by StirlingEngineering, which shows how they used to produce 3.5″ floppies. It’s a satisfying 5-minutes sequence of mechanical ear candy.

Elide Fire makes this innovative firefighting device – a ball that can be tossed into a fire to instantly extinguish or reduce its intensity. The ball automatically deploys upon contact with a flame and smothers it with a blanket of non-toxic chemicals. It can also be placed in a high-risk location where it will activate in case of fire.

How Not to Use MySQL

Chapter 9 of Efficient MySQL Performance changed in development. Originally, it was a chapter titled “Not MySQL”, as in “how not to use MySQL.” But we (O’Reilly and I) pulled the chapter, and the current chapter 9 in print is “Other Challenges”: an important laundry list of other challenges engineers using MySQL must be aware of and address. This blog post is a sketch of the unwritten chapter 9: how not to use MySQL.

Watch: Badass Chick-fil-A employee saves mother and baby as he chokes out their carjacker

https://www.louderwithcrowder.com/media-library/image.png?id=31717681&width=980

Chick-fil-A is bland, overrated chicken. Being honest with ourselves is important. It’s generic fast food in desperate need of a few more herbs and/or spices. That doesn’t mean the legend of Chick-fil-A employees isn’t something to both praise and marvel at. They go above and beyond in serving their community. As opposed to lazy Mcdonald’s employees who expect $25 an hour to throw frozen meat in the microwave and never fix the shake machine.

The legend grows in Florida as one employee took a break from slinging barely seasoned nuggets to save a woman and her baby by choking the f*ck out of their would-be carjacker.

The punk’s name is William Branch. According to Whiskey Riff (who, like me, can’t wait for the new Koe Wetzel album on Friday), Branch tried to jack the car using a stick. This does not look like the face of the man who grasps the irony.

The woman screamed as Branch worked his way into her car. Upon hearing the cries of a damsel in distress, the mystery Chick-fil-A employee lept into action. He pulled Branch from the car, wrestled him to the ground, then put Branch in a chokehold until help arrived. It was a solid chokehold, too. If the anonymous Florida resident isn’t training at American Top Team yet, he should.

Branch is being charged with carjacking with a weapon (the stick Branch used) and battery. Our mystery Chick-fil-A employee remains just that, walking off into the horizon until he is called on again to save the day.

Middle school students create ‘pedo database’ to track creepy teacher and the teacher was just put on leave

https://www.louderwithcrowder.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=31703443&width=980

Chivalry is not dead and a Rhode Island middle school teacher is put on leave thanks to a student-created "pedo database" tracking him creeping on twelve-year-old girls.

Starting in sixth grade, boys at Davisville Middle School noticed one of their teachers, who was also a coach, getting way too close with the female students. He’d make the girls dance for him. He’d give them pet names. He’d treat the students like he was Joe Biden spotting a girl in pigtails.

Sometimes they’d laugh. Sometimes they just kind of just sit there awkwardly. Even the ones that said he was "creepy" laughed because they were obviously not trying to tick him off or anything. So they’re just fake laughing, awkwardly laughing.

When the students would speak up, no adults would take them seriously. Worse, the teacher himself is alleged to have "told the students that for nearly 30 years, he’s dealt with complaints from parents and there was nothing anyone could do to him."

The male students viewed that as a challenge. In January of 2021, they created a "pedo database" named after the teacher on Discord, a social media platform that allows users to communicate privately. The students would log the teacher’s creepy actions and bad touches as they happened in real-time so there was a record.

This is now the official chat that we will later use as evidence against (the teacher) about pedophilia in case anything does come up in the future and we do turn out to be right.

The database proved to be useful this year. The teacher was removed from the school over allegations he stalked one of the middle school girls and was "inappropriate" with others. Again, the school ignored complaints. That is until an attorney for one of the girls threatened to take out a restraining order against the teacher.

The public was asked to come forward with any information. One of the students came forward with their "pedo tracker." It’s now being shared with lawyers, the school district, and the US attorney’s office.

One more pedo teacher taken away. Well done, lads.

Are You Nuts? Know your Fishing Knots! – The San Diego Jam Knot

https://www.alloutdoor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/20220913_180435.jpg

The San Diego Jam Knot, as its name implies comes from a sportfishing capital of the world. The city is the gateway to the Pacific for anglers chasing after tunas, seabass, and yellowtail. The San Diego Jam Knot was originally tied as a quick and easy way of tying “irons” jigs when chasing big tuna on long-range boats off the coast of Mexico.

This knot is a great choice for all line types: mono, fluorocarbon, and braid. When making sure the jam knot is fully set and tight on a hook or lure, you can attach the hook to a fixed object and give a strong pull. That will make sure the knot is set tight and won’t come loose when fished. This knot is one of the stronger knots available and has been tested rigorously by the San Diego Tuna boats.

San Diego Jam Knot Know Your Knots

Step 1

Run the line through the eye of the hook and bring the tag end of the line back along the mainline.

Step 2

Take the tag end of the line and then wrap it around the main line multiple times, a minimum of 4 wraps, the more the better. The thicker the diameter of the line the fewer wraps needed, and the thinner the line or if using braided line more wraps are needed

Step 3

Take the tag end of the line and pass it through the double line next to the eye of the hook and then the loop made by the first wrap.

Step 4

Hold the hook or lure and pull and adjust the tag end of the line to tighten the knot up after moistening the line. Be careful not to mess up the wraps and have them go over each other.

Step 5

Trim off the excess line from the tag end of the line, leaving about 1/4″ behind for the tag. Then pull the knot down to the eye of the hook and tighten it up. You can put the hook or lure somewhere solid and give it a solid pull to make sure the knot is tight. This is the finished San Diego Jam Knot.
