Saturday Overnight Open Thread (7/21/1
The Saturday Night Joke A young ventriloquist touring Norway puts on a show in a small fishing town. With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through his usual dumb blonde jokes. Suddenly, a blonde woman in the fourth row stands up and starts shouting, "I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype Norwegian blonde women that way? What does the color of a woman's hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It’s men like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community, and from reaching our full potential as people. It’s people like you that make others think that all blondes are dumb! You and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blondes, but women in general, pathetically all in the name of humor!" The embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize, and the blonde interrupts yelling, "You stay out of this! I'm talking to that little shit on your lap."
A Go-Fund Me campaign for these would be awesome. A Moron purchasing one certainly would make MoMes MOAR interesting. h/t red1c14
Not only does it sound good. It is also healthy for you.
And because. Again..........
Because. Really, really, because...........

It's alleged that around 4.20am, a group of four men had forced entry to a shed at the back of his property. "... then relocating to another address where they allegedly consumed drugs."

The Houston Area Hound Association had its raffle at the Houston World Series of Dog Shows this week. It made some $3300 for a scholarship fund in memory of a talented young handler who tragically died on her 22nd birthday.
The item that attracted the greatest number of bids, that there were almost fights over was... a pair of scissors.

Can't really go wrong with an F150, but Tacomas are pretty much bullet proof if you're looking for a truck to beat the hell out of for work.
Chevy and Dodge trucks have always struck me as flimsy somehow, despite all the bullshit marketing campaigns.

Insomniac - I was in my 50s when I started dating again and used a online dating site. I'm not a good looking guy, just a normal shulb. I dated as much as I wanted too only limited by time and $$ and many times, the ladies asked me out.
I asked my *work spouse* what the hell was up - she told me, *Look dumbass, you're single, have a job, straight, and not a complete ass. That's pretty rare in todays dating scene.*
Maybe give it a try. Im thinking that describes you too. Well, except for the very last part.

I saw a Ranger at the NY auto show this spring.
Looks like a damn miniature of a Toyota Tundra.
Which is basically the same size as what the F150 used to be before they blew it up into the Ferd F-teen-thousand it is now.
What the hell, Ford. What the hell.
If Toyota does a good job with the Hilux (which I assume will just be a revamped Tacoma with some interior goodies), I might be a buyer.

F150 is full size.
I recently bought a Tundra. I didn't consider the Tacoma, as the current generation has some dissing on the forums compared to the previous one. Toyotas are fantastic longevity-wise.
Ford seems to have some issues with the Eco-boost engines.

When the Supergirl TV series started, I had some hope for it. They actress they cast was picture-perfect from the comics, and cute in the suit to boot. I liked the way they were promoting the show as kid-friendly, showing little girls dressed up super and looking up to her. Maybe this would rescue the character after that sad Supergirl movie.
Season 1 was tolerable. They had fun. They hat-tipped old series with the movie Supergirl as Mom and the Lois & Clark Clark actor as Dad. They made short, red-headed, freckle-faced Jimmy Olson into a big black guy because of course they did. Calista had some good lines.
Season 2 was Lesbian Action Gals - neither integral to the storytelling nor erotic, so plainly there only for social justice warrioring. Also, in DC-CW universe, Supergirl proves stronger, faster, and smarter than Superman. Because of course she is.
Season 3 toned down the Lez stuff a little bit, but then at the end they went all anti-2A. The agency supposed to defend us from extraterrestrial threats decided to use sandbags and rubber bullets instead of all the high-tech weaponry they had that's proven to work against rampaging superpowered extraterrestrials. Because of course.
And now Season 4 trailer comes out.
"The Universe is vast.
They come from outer space. [shot of many spaceships in the sky]
They take our jobs, our culture...."
I can see where this is going. Arrgggh. No thank you. For three seasons we've seen how extraterrestrial refugees have not only been welcomed to earth, but are fitting right in, when they can, assimilating and drinking at bars. Like Men in Black. Suddenly now we have to go all open borders for an invading mass because Trump?
As Bill the Cat would say, pttthhhbbbb.

I've had two cars with two-throat sidedrafts, a Datsun 510, and a Mazda CLC. In both cases, fitted by myself.
I had (damn, do I still have it?) a nifty carb synching device. It's made of plastic, and uses a very light vane which is attached to an indicator needle and scale.
And, I had a Unisyn also, which I handed off to someone, sometime.
Then...there were the Carb sticks, used for balancing four-carb bikes. They were, of course, mercury filled (we're all gonna die!). Sold those.

A "tall woman" seems to be defined as > 2 sigma, which would be 5' 10". Very tall would be 6', 3 sigma.

This, in places the customer would never see, unless said truck is in a body shop being mended after a shunt.
No, I'm not going to list all of those built-up features, but they're there and they're real.
That being established though, the Chevy 1500s (now they call 'em Silverado, which used to be the badge reserved for the top end trim option, but I digress...)
Anyway, the 1500 will run and stay on the highway every bit as long as the ford, as witnessed by AOP's vaunted Suburbans.
But, we're talking about un-wrecked, or un-majorly damaged units here.
Oh, and a second case in point. You could remove all of the suspension and axles from an F-150 Raptor, stuff it all under any of the competition, and you'd still have a far weaker truck in structural terms, than the F-150.
Takes more than just the underbits of a Raptor, to make a Raptor.
Still, for the everyday truck owner? Buy any of the Big Three, and you won't go wrong.
Toyota is durable, but thirsty.
Nissan? Still not in the running, in my book, for a myriad of reasons.

eBay used to be good for getting lightly-used kit from people who traded up to the latest and greatest. Now it's all full-price new in box stuff - which is fine, but I can get it faster and a few bucks cheaper elsewhere - and eleventy billion identical storefronts selling the same CNC-milled aluminum part from Shenzhen. Which is fine for a lot of things, but it can be really hard to find a factory original in the search results clutter.

My neighbor has an 08 Nissan Titan, and it seems very Ford-like. Even has the same issue as some Ford models, in that getting to the rear spark plugs calls for lifting the cab off the chassis.
I dissected the cab of a '95 Silverado today. There is a lot of metal in the cowl area, not so much in the rest of the cab. A metal-cutting blade in a reciprocating saw does well on the frames and pillars, and a panel cutter in an air hammer for the flat areas.

The hysterical thing is that it's hosted by Zachery Quinto who plays spock in the rebooted movies.
Zachery Quinto made noises that he was getting tired of playing Spock and didn't want to get type cast.
So him hosting a rebooted series that was fronted by Leonard Nimoy is ironic*.

----------
I married one that came from a moderately wealthy family, but was not wealthy when we married. We did things together, pooled our cash, and got along just great. I was contributing 2x the income to hers, which was helpful in getting along so well.
Her 2 parents passed about 10 years into the marriage, and as soon as she had posession of their money, all that changed. I actually suggested taking a part of that money and paying off the house (it was about 1.6 million that she got).
Her answer? "That money was meant for ME, and to pass it down to our daughter". The beginning of the end.

I have a twelve pack of Vimto, a black current soda licensed from Yorkshire. I first encountered it at The Strand Hotel in Rangoon in the early 80's and couldn't find it Stateside for 30 years. It is quite good. Can't speak for the Fanta product.
I have a 17 Chevy Silverado 1500 that has been a great vehicle for its first 25k miles. Can't say that about a lot of other trucks I've owned. It also gets better gas mileage than the Tacoma.
I also have a 08 Tacoma that just recently had a new frame put under it as part of some class action suit. Dealer told me the cost of the repair would have been between 13 and 15,000 dollars. As the truck has 150,000 on it, I would have gladly made a deal.

Eye contact is an incredibly complex game. Most of this body language stuff makes my eye glaze over, and I say screw it, I'm just gonna be myself and not worry.
But if you're interested you can read tons of shit.
Prolonged eye contact with a stranger is not something you want to do. It can be a sign of aggression and creepiness.
A woman who is interested in you isn't going to stare at you.
A flirty eye game is to look at you, and when return eye contact, to look away, usually down, and then quickly return briefly. Now, she does that. You look down, and then go back and see if she's looking back at you.
Now, the "I'm not interested, stay away from" eye avoidance is usually looking *up* and away. That's usually a strong signal of disinterest.
The torso is also important. If they look like the turn away from you, that's disinterest.
The thing is, all this varies greatly, and to really interpret bodily language, you need to know their baseline. And that's why I say the hell with it.

Stunningly, btw. Typo. If you describe yourself as a hair above average, it's probably better. I just don't think your "universal" is really "universal" if based on a super small sample size. I can think of so many things and so many reasons for the lookaway. Maybe your anger/bitterness shows in your face. Who knows. Maybe flashing them in your raincoat scares them.

Ya know, I do that. Even if I think the guy is cute. I don't know why."
It's because it's an aggressive move in public between 2 people who don't know each other, especially if there isn't any conversation preceeding it, and any woman with even the slightest bit of sense will automatically react to that as a threat. (on a level that even her conscious mind won't realize)
This entire idea that 2 people can just meet at random and hit it off in 2 minutes with no introductions is a cultural fantasy that's caused a huge amount of damage. Men and women need some form of social connection before any of this can happen - the usual three are school, church, and work. Sometimes relatives or friends can set a couple up, sometimes other social groups can fill the gap. But that's what it takes.
Bars? forget it. Internet? For every relationship that works, 100 turn out to be 1 dude talking to another dude. Sad but true. If someone is truly looking for a relationship, they gotta start by looking in the right places, and forgetting about the wrong places.

We have a Camry for our transportation module. I don't like it at all, bought it for my wife. She loves the thing.
That said, I'd unhesitatingly recommend the vehicle for a long term unit.
Damn things are bulletproof, ours has been totally reliable. We bought it in 03 and it still looks like new. I've put 2 timing belts in it and at 132k yet has the original rear brakes. My taste in cars simply does not run to front drive, plus it's a bit small for me, but perfect for my wife.
My rides are an 87 Ramcharger and a brand new 68 Plymouth Road Runner.
None of the newer vehicles interest me an iota.

Ya know, we have had these discussions so many times. I think I realize some people won't even try unless they get a guarantee. There is none. Life is hard and especially with searching for a partner there can be many fails before you find a good one...for everyone. Movies and books about that since the beginning of time on those things...and before. It's biblical too. It is life. For everyone.

This, but also clean fresh girl-sweat, like from gardening or hiking or cycling or something. It's like a pheromone firehose to the face.
Downside: it would be really off-putting in just about any scenario where I weren't already dating the girl in question. So, probably not that useful in a first-encounter situation.
I never claimed to have useful tips or anything. *shrug*

I have eyes that change color based on what I am wearing. They go (I'm told) from stunning Newman blue to green/gold depending on the attire. Back in the day, I found that Royal blue got me the best results.
I found that out when one of the accounting ladies walked into the break room, and I was wearing a Royal blue sweater. I turned around and looked her in the eye, and she actually took two steps back, saying "Oh my God, that is your color!"
For some reason, this sales guy developed a number of accounting issues that day, requiring stops by my office.
All far in the past, but fun to reminisce about.

I had to go read some of this body language crap again.
The thing to realize is we do a lot of this unconsciously. Think about your own body language, not just hers.
Another sign of interest women will do subconsciously is "preening behavior". This can be adjusting their hair, posture, etc.
And then another strong one is "mimicry" monkey-see, monkey-do. Again, this is all subconscious. If you take a drink, she'll take one. You touch your face, she'll touch hers, etc, etc.

it isn't hard to find
you can have the love you need to live
But if you look for truthfulness
you might just as well be blind
it always seems to be so hard to give
Honesty
is such a lonely word
everyone is so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
and mostly what I need from you
I can always find someone
to smile and sympathize
if I wear my heart out on my sleeve
But I don't want some pretty face
to tell me pretty lies
all I want is someone to believe
Honesty
is such a lonely word
everyone is so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
and mostly what I need from you
I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me with promises again
I know
I know
I know
When I'm deep inside of me
don't be too concerned
I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone
But when I want sincerity
tell me, where else can I turn
'Cuz you're the one that I depend upon
Honesty
is such a lonely word
everyone is so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
and mostly what I need from you

You think you are unique? It scares a lot of people. I'm not trying to be hard on you, but you choose not to try. Then wonder why good things don't happen. I have great compassion for you, and when you weren't around I missed you. However, I'm not being a good friend in a gray box if I buy into your doomed lie. Then I'd be lying.
I'll like you either way...whether you try or not. I won't buy the lies you tell yourself though. I know you don't ask me to, but you say enough that...well...it can be a reflex.

Both of our daily cars are '99 Jeeps. A Cherokee and a Grand Cherokee. The Cherokee has 160K miles, the Grand Cherokee 210+. They are completely reliable, and I would not trade either of them in for anything newer.
We also have an '89 Comanche pickup (for hauling stuff) and a '91 Grand Wagoneer (for Sunday drives). Also very reliable, although sometimes harder to find parts for on the rare occasions when they do require repairs.

Of course. Only Insomniac is doing self-loathing and perpetual loserdom though. I hope for many it is just frustration or current reality. Hell, if movie stars have trouble finding the right person, I don't know why us non golden idols think we won't have problems. I understand complaints and frustration. I won't buy forever doom though. That's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Plus, I've seen too many "miracles"...or something.

One of my fondest memories is the night I met my wife. Drove in a wedding, she was a bridesmaid and for some reason I flat overlooked her.
At the reception I was standing at the edge of the dance floor looking around, tap on my shoulder, I turned and looked right over her head--she being just 5' tall and I managed 6' and a bit.
Looked into those bright green eyes and the rest, as they say was history. We were married 6 months later.

A classic local tale of this self-defeating feedback loop is "Borrowing the Jack". Rural setting with few houses around and lonely roads. A fellow is driving home one night and has a flat tire. He's got a spare, but no jack.
He's close to the house of this mean old man, a real get-off-my-lawn type, but no one else around for a long ways. So he decides he'll go and ask to borrow a jack.
As he's walking down the road and then down the old man's driveway, he's tells himself that old bastard probably won't let him borrow his jack, just to be mean. He'll probably laugh in his face and tell him to get the hell off his property.
He's gets really mad as finally gets to the door and knocks. When the old man answers and opens the door, the guy says, "I wouldn't want your god-damned jack anyway!" and storms off.

We all get dealt certain hands...it is how we play them. Having a full life, not basing it all on whether we have someone or not, is the healthiest way to go. Not that one doesn't get lonely or frustrated. That's not real. You try though Capt. Whitebread...you are out there. The door is left a little ajar. It only takes one moment in one day...but you have to be out there in some way.
Not giving a damn...also an option.
Also, not sure I'm qualified to say anything either. But that never stops me. I mean, if qualification is important I'd never post on anything ever.
Some people go 20 years post divorce. Then, boom, circumstances change. Suddenly, some one is there. But why waste 20 years miserable, ya know. At least not 24/7.

Localized is the key. You can be the kick ass Loading Dock Foreman from hell, but that doesn't really translate to where Miss Missy can see it and appreciate it, and thereby, appreciate you.
To the basics, if you can dress neatly (if not well or classily), clean up well in terms of grooming and cleanliness, that's your baseline.
Your home should be presentable, damn near always. That includes the yard and paint... it's curb-appeal reflects on yours. Inside, keep the dust down, the dishes done and the clothes offa the floor.
Skills wise? If you've got 'em, politely flaunt 'em. I've just completely rebuilt my entire front porch, stairs and all of the railings.
Front of the house looks good, and I met two neighbors I hadn't yet met during the build, as they stopped to admire, ask questions and converse about the neighborhood.
The suggestions for dancing are valid, but I have *NO* talent there. And I couldn't do the local animal shelter there. I'm too much the soft touch, and would have a house fulla dogs and cats OMG! living together!
One arena where I meet a disparate number of VERY inquisitive ladies, is when I provide basic shooting lessons, which sometimes come to me by referral from a local women's shelter network.
Yeah, I get 'em into the whole Cornered Cat universe, but I'm also a complete gentleman, don't make the *slightest* move to a "flirt", and naturally project an adult, manly, skillful, competent, instructive and supportive presence to them in the course of their lessons.
Some of them (daddy issues?), respond... bordering on, inappropriately. I quell those approaches with humor and a smile, but quell them all the same.
Point is though... if you have a skill, a trade or even are willing to teach simple classes on budgeting, banking and other forms of "solving chaos" that are so badly needed out there, you'll be, at least for a while, listened to, looked up to and appreciated.
Whatever you're good at, make it applicable to their lives, and make yourself available to teach it. Somewhere.
Your ego will thank you, bigly.

Funny how things work out. I met my beloved at Fort Sam Houston, of all places. She got her orders for Germany. I got my orders for Germany later.
Once I landed in FRG, I called her on a German payphone. We spent the summer of 1988 traveling between Nurnberg and Aschaffenburg on weekends.
Bottom line: there were literally hundreds of reasons why things should not have worked out. But we are celebrating our 30th anniversary in August. We will be in Yellowstone in a few weeks, which is where we spent our honeymoon (during the famous wildfires in 1988, heh).

"Leavened bread" isn't kosher for Passover. What's "leavened bread"? Any grain that has been wet. Corn counts. Therefore, HFCS isn't kosher for Passover.
So, in some markets, soda companies will release a version that uses cane sugar during the Passover season, instead of HFCS. Usually the cap will be a different color, and it will have a tiny "kosher for Passover"* mark on the label. You can do an internet search to find out which they are.

What I mean about "not giving a damn" is no longer judging my value as a human being on whether I'm attached to someone else. Like you said, someone may very well come along. I'm just not actively looking for them. I'm also holding on faith. God knows how clueless I can be, and if he has to hit me with a metaphysical rolled-up newspaper to get me to realize "Hey, doofus!

You're right, it does, but the rules are 18 minutes (I think) after a grain has been wetted. There's a list of grains that count as 'grains' too.

If Zoey D showed up at my basement door I'd be ecstatic. But the house I own is not the one I live in. And because I am a super Dad one of my daughters pays fake rent to live in my house.

Technically, Pepsi did not exist in 1893. Wiki:
Originally created and developed in 1893 by Caleb Bradham and introduced as Brad's Drink.
Wasn't renamed until 1898.

Billy Joel also has a song on there about a ridonkulously co-dependent relationship, Laura. Very much sounds like a John Lennon piece.

He is. Then you write it out, which reinforces it more. Then all the other people say it is true, and suddenly we have a cascade. Then you are in the black pit.
I'm not sure what to do. It would be easy to say nothing or check out. That is probably my default. But I wanted to give it one more shot. When you go there, what would help? Ignoring you? Telling you to shutty? Short-circuit you with a cattle prod?
I won't help you dig a deeper pit, nor will I continue to throw offers of help at a brick wall. However, you suffer from depression, and I don't want to leave you flailing in doom. So tell me, what will help? If you don't know...and I say this with concern and compassion...think of something. Use that wonderful brain for good and not doom. I'm sorry if I went too far...I SO HOPE I didn't. If I did, please forgive me.

Often, people are unhappy in their lives, look for someone to change that, but it only works a short time.
I guess I'm just saying look at the flipside of the coin sometimes...maybe it can mitigate the societal drumbeat, or loneliness. The desire for someone, the being paired off, I think is natural. But man, sometimes you guys go to such a dark place. Like, end of the world, suicidal place. No wait...that is not correct. Sometimes I'd get. All the time...that's just dangerous.

After tonight though, I've got nothing else. I've said everything. It's not bcz I don't care that I won't say it all again, it is bcz I don't want to insult you and other people by saying it all again.

Talk about an earworm. The 1962-era Clavioline synthesizer sounded like a billion flies buzzing at once. One of those songs that gets stuck in my head and I have to use a jackhammer to remove it.

Has to do with launch site availability and the final orbit. The Falcon 9 doesn't put geostationary sats in their final orbit, but only in a geosynchronous transfer orbit. Launching at the wrong time means using extra fuel or not getting the sat into the right orbital slot.

I read some of this earlier, and her commentary on Space X is way off the mark:
"SpaceX - which Musk touts as replacing NASA and colonizing Mars - has been a literal failure to launch. So many of its rockets have burned up or crashed that Musk, for reasons unknown, has made a blooper reel."
I don't mind hating on Musk, but I stopped reading after that.

Apparently ABC has realized that audiences are all SJW-ed out. Maybe Fox will get the hint after a little focus group testing.
Nice that they're getting smart enough to value ratings over ideology, but it's irritating that they have the insatiable need to push in this direction.

As long as he's not spending government money on Muslim outreach, I've no objection to him replacing NASA. And the lashing out at the cave divers was so silly I can't really get too worked up over that.
He can be honest. For months the horde has been saying how Teslas are crap, and then he came out and admitted Teslas are crap.
