This would mean that we have a closely divided electorate, but one with which Republicans are favored.Įither way, you can bet your last dollar that both sides will try to spin the New York special election result. So a victory by Pilip would suggest that perhaps things aren’t all that different from where we were in 2022. In other words, it’s possible that the national environment hasn’t moved all that much from the last time Republicans secured an important win. Moreover, that 3-point Republican edge in 2022 looks a lot like Trump’s current advantage over Biden among registered voters nationally. That Republican victory represented a 6-point swing from the 2020 House elections. They did so while winning the House popular vote by 3 points. Remember that in the last high-turnout election (the 2022 midterms), Republicans won control of the US House. While it would be easy to dismiss a Pilip win by saying that Long Island has swung to the right since 2020, the rest of the country may have as well. All the other competitive races were state elections, and voting patterns between US House and presidential elections are far more correlated than they are for state offices and presidential elections. This is the only federal election since the midterms that has been remotely competitive. On the other hand, a win by Pilip would give us a different narrative. Ipsos, for example, recently showed a 5-point lead for the former president among registered voters becoming a tie among those certain to vote.Ī Suozzi win would further prove the point that Democrats do well when voters are treated to an actual campaign. When pollsters such as Ipsos and The New York Times have honed on either those certain to vote or those likely to vote this year, Biden has done significantly better against his likely Republican opponent, Donald Trump. Not all registered voters will cast a ballot in the presidential election. Most national pollsters are gauging responses from registered voters. But the turnout in the presidential election may be as well. ![]() Yes, the turnout may have been more Democratic than among all registered voters. Of course, we’re now in a presidential election year, and there are also signs that these off-year results may have been pointing at something important. Related article Why Donald Trump should be hoping for high voter turnout įormer President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign event at the Hyatt Hotel in Coralville, Iowa, on December 13. Voters who have been showing up for these off-year races have been more Democratic-leaning than their share of all registered voters in the same states and districts. Turnout in off-year elections is often low. The candidate favored by Democrats won a Wisconsin Supreme Court race, which gave the more liberal justices a majority on that court.Ī lot of analysts (myself included) have been skeptical about making too much of these results. They won the Kentucky gubernatorial election, maintained their majority in the Virginia Senate and flipped the Virginia House. Indeed, outside of Long Island, Democrats did well in last year’s big elections. This means that even a narrow Suozzi victory would be impressive for Democrats given how well Republicans have done in other elections in the area. GOP candidates for governor and US Senate won the district by margins between 4 and 12 points in 2022, as did Santos. I mentioned that Biden carried the seat in 2020 (by 8 points), but local Republicans have been dominating since. The fact that the race is tight makes sense if you look at the district’s recent voting record. Throw in forecasted bad weather in this Nassau County and eastern Queens district, and we really can’t be certain who will emerge victorious. A Newsday/Siena College poll released last week put Suozzi at 48% and Pilip at 44%, a result well within the margin of error. Yes, we’re looking at just one election on Long Island, but it’s a fascinating one.Īs we enter Election Day, the race seems far too close to call. Tom Suozzi win in yet another example of Democrats defying national polling trends? Or does Nassau County Legislator Mazi Pilip secure victory, showing how Republicans are winning pivotal races in places Biden comfortably won in 2020? The special election in New York’s 3rd Congressional District to succeed the infamous George Santos offers perhaps the best chance to test Democrats’ theory ahead of the presidential election.ĭoes former Rep. The idea being that Democrats have done well in major special and off-year elections since the 2022 midterms.

They send telepathic dreams, and telepathically control entire continents of people, and they are served by huge mermaids, and they want to prevent the sun from being reborn. In series The Book of the New Sun, there are Cthulhu-like entities named Erebus (god of darkness and shadow) and Abaia (Giant Eel god that lives at the bottom of a lake) that came out of space and were small seeds that were thrown into the ocean and grew to be the size of mountains. I have previously posted about the Isle of Faces being the Kraken of mythology, as the Kraken is described as an island with trees on its back, and branches for arms. In ASoIaF, something fell out of the sky at Starfall, and a White Tower rose up where it fell, and the Greatsword Dawn was made out of it, and the Whitesword Tower houses Dawn. And their phrase is "what is dead may never die" which is very close to the phrase "That is not dead which can eternal lie" from Cthulhu. Gaelic is the language of Ireland and the Iron Islands are Ireland, and I think that is why they have the most Cthulhu stuff associated with them. And Naga means "serpent" in Hindi, and Nagga drowned whole islands. And Nagga's ribs are a weirwood circle, and nagadaun means "wormwood" in Hindi, and the Ironborn foundational myth is about Nagga and the Greyking, and Greyking, krieken, and gryja all mean "dawn". The Idols of Cthulhu also fell out of the sky, and the Seastone Chair is a big Cthulhu statue that the Ironborn pulled out of the ocean and used as their throne-a weirwood throne is something that fell out of the sky, and their driftwood crown is a weirwood crown-driftwood is wood that came from the sea. Lovecraft was obsessed with the idea of starfall/sky-spawn, it features in many of his stories: the fungus crabs from Whisperer were skyspawn (fungus from the sky that evaporates when it dies), the vampire meteor in Colour out of Space was sky spawn, Cthulhu was sky spawn, Yog-Sothoth was sky-spawn (agglutination of bubbles = frogspawn), and shuggoths are sky-spawn.Ĭthulhu is called "the green sticky spawn of the stars" and a nebulous "sky-spawn" and "the thing from the stars" he fell out of the sky and landed in the ocean, and grew to the size of a mountain.Ĭthulhu is the Drowned God. ![]() It may be a kind of fungus that blooms overnight then wilts away during the day. In the real world, occasionally farmers and other people would find mysterious glutinous jelly in their fields or on the ground or even in trees, and they believed it had fallen out of the sky as a meteor, and they called it Starfall, Star Jelly, frogspawn, and various other names. Cthulhu is called "Mighty Cthulhu" in the text.Īnd glothagach means "frogspawn" and gibernach means "squid, octopus" and those could be part of the first half of the chant, and Cthulhu gibbers when he awakes and Cthulhu is frogspawn, which leads to my next point. There are double meanings, as the phrase "Cthulhu fhtagn" could mean "Cthulhu waits in the abyss" or "Mighty Cthulhu" (as fataighe means "mighty") or both. "waiting in the temple under the deep, dark pool, dark, time, abyss, cuttlefish tomb/crypt grave abyss waits in the bottom of the ocean"įan= "temple, wait, under the" glum= "dark, deep pool, gloom, " muigeal= "dark" uine = "time" aibhean = "abyss" cuitheal="cuttlefish" reilige="crypt, grave, stone box" uaighean = "grave, tomb" aigeal= "abyss, bottom of the ocean" feith= "waits" aigean = "abyss" Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagnįan glum muigeal uine aibh' Cthulhu reilige uaighean aigeal feith aigean From previous research I have found that Lovecraft primarily used Dwelly's Gaelic Dictionary, and if you flip through Dwelly and just map corresponding words in the phrase with Gaelic words: Its not gibberish, it is Gaelic, but the words are all misspelled, and the spaces are in the wrong spots. ![]() ![]() ![]() I figured out the phrase that Cthulhu's followers chant: "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" which in the text he says means " In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming." ![]() ![]() With pre-punched holes, you can loop your cards through the rings without dropping them all or losing them.

However, most small welding machines utilise MIG gun nozzles with a 1/2 inch-diameter or less. Suppose you are using a nozzle diameter greater than 1/2 inch. Mild steel is relatively easy to weld. If you’re welding indoors with CO2 alone or a mix of 75/25 Ar/CO2, it will work with only 10-15 CFH. If you notice any porosity, you should increase your flow to 20-30 CFH.įor a better welding speed, please keep it on the upper end of that flow speed and the reverse. Also, the bead’s profile will expand if the feed rate for the wire can is too fast. Wider beads also require more shielding gas flow to cover the melting material completely. Let’s look at how shielding gas flow influences welding these materials. The most popular metals to be welded using the MIG process are mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium.Įach needs a particular flow rate based on the diameter of the nozzle, the speed at which it travels, the level of mill scale or oxides on the substrate, and the speed of wire feed. ![]() The majority of people do not encounter a complete freeze of the regulator. However, if you use it for a long time, you may notice an accumulation of frost around the regulator. In addition, CO2 gas tanks have the CGA-320 connector, whereas most welding gas bottles have CGA-580.Įvery CO2 or argon regulator is threaded to CGA-580. To use any gas regulator using CO2 gas bottles, you’ll need this CGA-320 adapter CGA-580. If you’re planning to utilise a gas regulator or flow meter equipped with CO2 gas that is 100% in the tank, you must be aware that it can be frozen due to the low temperature of CO2 created when the gas expands. It is recommended to use an approved CO2 regulator. Pure CO2 Tanks Require Special Regulators It’s not too much of an issue with MIG welding since CO2 and Argon aren’t all that different. But, remember that you will require a regulator specifically designed for your gas to obtain precise flow rate readings. No. Certain shielding gasses are more potent and heavier than other gasses. This is why you must ensure that the regulator is compatible with the gas shielding you.įor example, if your regulator is calibrated only for argon and you get an incorrect reading when you put it on the gas bottle that shields helium. We don’t suggest these regulators, as most books and guides on welding provide CFH guidelines. The chamber is transparent and has written measurements in CFH and a small ball in the middle. The gas is pumped through this chamber, and the pressure causes that ball to expand. This is the reason they’re referred to in the form of “flow meter regulators.”Ĭfh is the most popular unit for measuring the flow of gas. However, certain welding gas regulators can measure the number of litres per minute (“l/min”). Instead of a separate gauge, the flow outbound rate is displayed by a specially-designed vertical chamber made of plastic. Gas is released from the bottle through the valve while the gauge’s gauge shifts according to the flow rate in CFH.īut, gas regulators of higher quality equipped with a flow meter feature only one gauge, which displays the pressure of the gas bottle. The other shows the gas flow rate of cubic feet/hour (“CFH”). The first shows the pressure inside the bottle of gas measured in PSI. The adjustment of the flow rate of gas shielding is pretty straightforward. Each gas regulator has one valve that allows you to alter your flow. Gas regulators with standard features have two gauges. This article will show you how to set the flow rate of gas, the minimum and maximum values and the optimal gas shielding settings for the most common welding materials with the MIG process. However, if you observe any porosity, you should increase the flow rate to the recommended amount of around 20-30 CFH. In general, when welding mild steel and working indoors with CO2 alone or a 75/25 Ar/CO2 mix, you’ll be able to work with only 10-15 CFH. The solution is to find the sweet spot and stay between the extremes. However, cranking off the valve for shielding isn’t the solution. The problem can be made worse by applying a flow of shielding gas that is excessively high. The regulator features a brass body, 50mm ABS plastic dual scale gauge, one-piece encapsulated seat design with internal filter and PTFE Teflon® seat to protect it from particulate contamination and a large plastic knob for easy grip and precise adjustments.Insufficient flow of shielding gas causes porosity and weak welds. ![]() This flowmeter features a durable, easy-to-read, flow tube and cover. The unique design of this flowmeter makes it more resistant to carbon dioxide (CO2) freeze-up than comparable competitive models.
