| Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (2/26/20) My Real Job Got In The Way Edition![]() That is good advice! ![]() Truth!!! ![]() ![]() How many times have we said this? ![]() That's OK lady. I'm sure he feels liberated as well. H/T Bitter Clinger A California woman left her husband of 22 years after finding out that he voted for Donald Trump. LOLGF I wonder how big my carbon footprint was drafting The ONT. I hope bigger than my size 10. Mankind’s behavior has taken a heavy toll on our earth, leading to several ecological problems. Carbon dioxide emissions are one of the leading causes. Here’s how you can calculate your own carbon footprint and offset these emissions. Your carbon footprint is the total of greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide, that you release in the air. It’s not what you breathe out, it’s the direct and indirect emission of your every activity. From using a car for travel to eating meat and dairy, each choice and activity in the modern world carries its own carbon emissions. Once you calculate your personal carbon footprint, you’ll be able to figure out how much of an impact these choices have on the environment. And through small steps, you can reduce your footprint.

WESTMORELAND COUNTY (KDKA) — A couple in Westmoreland County is accused of locking their son in a bedroom closet and nailing the door shut.

John Solomon on FoxNews Hannity just now: I don't think we're going to see any indictments out of the Horowitz/Durham investigation (but we will get a "full accounting" and abuse will be worse than we know now."
Huh. And... What's the point of exposing but not punishing illegal conduct? In fact, it's worse than just never getting to the bottom of it. If you expose it, but do nothing, it's the equivalent of painting a vivid roadmap of what is de jure "legal" and thus ok conduct. "Do this, and nothing will happen." If spying on the candidate for President of the opposing party by illegal means isn't punished, where IS the line drawn? Consider: What is the person getting spied illegally on is YOU? Are YOU going to get recourse when the President of the United States doesn't? Personally, I'll consider it a material breach of the social contract.

"Here's how you can calculate your own carbon footprint and offset these emissions."
There was a web calculator at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's kids website years ago - maybe 2007 or 2008 - that had a questionnaire kids could fill out based on their lifestyle and habits. There was a little pig avatar that would get bigger and bigger based on how much carbon was emitted due to each choice. After the quiz was over, the cartoon pig would explode in a shower of blood and the result would indicate at which age the child should die, because they had used their global per capita allotment of carbon emissions. It actually said that, in those words: "You should die at age xyz". I'll see if I can find an archive of it. It's kind of amazing that such a thing used to be shocking and disgusting and outrageous. If you weren't sure what the "Overton window" means, it's that. A kids games corner of a government broadcasting agency's website telling kids outright that they should die because of carbon emissions used to be something out of the ordinary.

The tire burning seems like a great idea, but you should add used motor oil to the mix! If you're planning bonfires, you sound like you're in good spirits! Posted by: Thought Commissar Hrothgar at February 26, 2020 10:06 PM (gsRPK) I'm glad you got home safely. It's awful to feel like you're falling asleep while driving.

Ahhh...Everclear. a few gallons of that in a 33 gallon plastic trash can with some slices of fruit and several cans of Hi-C with some ice makes for a drink called Purple Jesus. Aptly named because after two or three or four Solo cups of it, chances were you'd see Jesus...or have a "Come to Jesus" moment, IYKWIM.

Like, what a terrible tear-jerker ballad, but by gosh if you put a powerful voice and enough bum-bum into it, the cheesiness comes full circle and you can almost cry for Laura, and Tommy.
Almost. Also, I'd almost be nostalgic for it, but, boy! they played this drek to death on the Top40 radio back in the day! Released 1960, got to #7 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

Back in the early 1980s, when I first discovered Long Beach's now-legendary jazz station KLON (now known as KKJZ), they had a bunch of different genre shows on the weekends, to try and attract more listeners of course.
They had one show, hosted by a great guy named Steve Propes, called Rock & Roll & Rhythym & Blues; it mostly featured doo-wop however. But when the show first came on the air in 1980, for whatever reason, Propes saw fit to name the show "We Don't Play No Jan & Dean." (When I got to meet him once and asked him about it, he admitted that he actually owned several J&D records.) Posted by: qdpsteve at February 26, 2020 10:32 PM (L2ZTs) 323

----- They sound like nice parents. Posted by: BackwardsBoy's new band is called The Swinging Epsteins at February 26, 2020 10:30 PM (HaL55) Read a news story a long time go about parents who were arrested for handcuffing their daughter to a radiator. The kid was leaving the apartment at night and getting into all sorts of trouble. Social services would do nothing to help the parents and they were at their wits end on how to stop her and protect her. So they handcuffed her to the radiator at night. Sounds harsh but the full story indicated they cared and saw no other option. Hell, what my Mom did to me once, once mind you, would put her in jail today and put me into the foster care system. As a young 'un, I liked building little bonfires in the garage with those Diamond wooden strike-anywhere matches (which were used for lighting the gas oven as there was no pilot light; to turn the oven on, you had to stick a lighted match in a tiny hole way in the back of the lower broiler section). My Mom was worried about me burning down the house and no talkin' to would stop me. So this one time after she caught me, she stuck my fingers in the blue flame of the gas burner on top of the stove for a second or two. Harsh? Absolutely. But it cured me of playing with matches and the house never burned down, either. Some kids are just stubborn. Posted by: RickZ at February 26, 2020 10:49 PM (Y8PSl) 396

405 There was a story way back about some parents that had a kid that had some issues. so they decided to toss him out and have another kid.
Somebody saved the kid. When he grew up he came back, murdered his dad and fucked his mom. Shit is fucked. Posted by: not so at February 26, 2020 10:52 PM (HALdu) There's a whole YouTube genre of young black people listening to classic rock for the first time and commenting on it as you hear it. One of them takes requests, and someone sent her "The End." Her comment was basically, "This guy is messed up and he's committing suicide but he wants to take everyone with him." Honestly, after all these years, I never saw the suicide angle, but it's obvious now. Posted by: Caesar North of the Rubicon at February 26, 2020 11:08 PM (jK8Z7) 483

He'd take a large knife from the kitchen, put it between his teeth, climb chain link fences and jump like Error Flynn in some pirate movie.

One of our customers would tell me about oil of oregano. Said it would keep you from getting the flu and shorten it, if you started taking it while sick. I started taking it. It's awful tasting stuff. I get the brand mixed with olive oil. I put 8-10 drops in a big spoon with more olive oil. It does clear up my congestion. I did get a flu shot and take vitamin C. It's one of those things that won't hurt you and may help.

The only large scale spread I'm aware of was on that cruise ship, where, yeah, people are jammed together. It's been long enough now, and the "quarantine" attempts so laughably pathetic, that we'd be seeing many thousands of cases all over the world if it were actually super contagious.

I had a six-year-old brother who died two years
before I was born. (Long sad story.) My Mom used to tell me about my brother. He liked playing pirate. He'd take a large knife from the kitchen, put it between his teeth, climb chain link fences and jump like Error Flynn in some pirate movie. My Mom only knew when a neighbor in Navy housing would yell, "INA! Jerry's got a knife in his teeth again!" Again, mind you. {SIGH} Wish I had known that brother. Posted by: RickZ at February 26, 2020 11:21 PM (Y8PSl) Your brother sounds like mine. He would do some crazy shit. He got poison ivy from the neighbors hedges that divided our yards, because it was growing in there. His solution was to steal matches, and burn down the hedges. He used to break his toys. My uncle gets him some metal truck, when you could actually get metal trucks. Uncle says he'll never break this. Yeah about that, he went and found my father's hack saw and cut it in half. Then there was the time he threw a whole box of laundry detergent in the washer, along with some muddy boots my father had. He once put on a plastic toy space helmet and told me to hit him in the head with a hammer. Ok, that one was on me. lol. Still, he was a bundle man. When he got older my cousin taught him to drive when he was 13-14, so when he became 15 he took my wallet and took a cruise in my 71 road runner. Blew the horn at every chick driving a hot car, and I only pieced that together when these same chicks blew the horn every time they cruised by the house, and one actually stopped one time, and we ended up going out that night, which a story for whole different conversation (lol), but I found out later when she mentioned me beeping at her, and I realized it was bastard brother .These days he's the more normal one. I guess he got it out of his system. Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at February 26, 2020 11:40 PM (9Om/r) 582

It didn't, of course.

Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at February 26, 2020 11:53 PM (lbYzk) The old Falstaff Brewery here in Galveston is about 80% "repurposed", and the rest of the project rolls along. Most of it has been converted to Parking for those who drive to the Port of Galveston to board a cruise ship of one line or another. About 25% of the space is nearly complete, being converted to climate controlled storage units. And another section is being re-vitalized as a small, boutique hotel. Maybe a dozen or two rooms. The Penthouse, up at about the 15th story or so, is a very nicely appointed rental "Party Room". Pretty much a full-on nightclub and dance hall, but not "open for retail", as a licensed establishment. You want a reception there, you rent the space, contract the Open Bar, hire the D.J., etc. But it's proving to be one of the island Hot Spots for the Beautiful People to see and be seen. I just can't wait to never go there. Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at February 27, 2020 12:01 AM (QzJWU) 610

They need to catch and kill their toy to feel satisfied/vindicated; hunt/catch/kill/groom/sleep is a cat's life. When kitty gets bored of never catching the laser pointer, kitty will decide it's easier, and more fun, to catch and kill you. You being asleep seems to be the best time for that game.

Blackened Voodoo is from Abita Springs, using spring water.
Dixie was good because they used Pontchartrain lake water. I'm glad they're making Dixie again, have been looking to see when they get retailers near me.

May I bring up a peeve? It's a slow ONT so I am going to insist on my peeve privilege. A thing went around the interwebs saying that lox is the oldest proto Indo European (PIE) word, unchanged over the millennia. No. Lachs in German and Lax in Swedish mean Atlantic Salmon. Lox in Yiddish means cured smoked Atlantic Salmon, because that's the form in which it would reach the shtetls. Lox Lachs Lax is a strictly North Atlantic Baltic word for a fish that doesn't live in other places and there's no reason that it would be an ancient PIE word because they didn't have lox in those places.

Also- what is the Indo-European root for "bagel"?
Hah. Challenge accepted. The bagel began its life as the bialy, a donut shaped bread object from shtetls in Bialystock, which I think is in Belarus these days but might have been Polish, Russian, Ukranian, or SomethingElse when bialys were invented. People there change borders regularly for reasons which are ill-understood. New York Jews invented boiling bialy dough before baking it. Also they think their water is better than everyone else's. This innovation took a couple of hundred years to migrate back to the Jewish homelands, I think Israel got its first bagel shop in the early 2000s. I am aware that this essay has nothing to do with the etymology of the word "bagel", but I want a 100 for the wealth of superfluous detail.

I'm no expert on Latin, I just know a little, and of course get a kick out of dirty words and dirty talk in Latin. Clitoris comes from Greek (deriving from a word for "key" -- it's the key to a woman's heart, one might say and related to "tickle"). Clitorides is listed as the "post classical Latin" word. In Roman times, the word for clit was "landicum" in all sorts of declensions. Interestingly, it was considered the most obscene word in the tongue and was never used in formal writing. Only vulgar tongue. THere are a couple instances of puns being based on it used in Senate speeches.

>> But landicum?
My bad. Landica, or Landicam. The inscription on the projectile was "Peto landicam Fulviae". I see another one (Pompeii whorehouse graffiti) referred to "Landicosa" which they translate as "big clit". Figuratively, it meant a woman with a very healthy sexual appetite. "Yeah, Claudius, she's got a bit clit, if you know what I mean". Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at February 27, 2020 01:55 AM (f1Vqw) 769

Appeals court rules in favor of Trump for withholding federal funds for sanctuary cities. I think that precedent was settled long ago with a ruling on States that would not enforce the 55 mph speed limit. Also the federal mandated drinking age of 21 which the MAD scrunts wanted. The liberals were full on to this until Trump's using it to punish sanctuary cities.

CHARLESTON, South Carolina - All seven of the presidential candidates onstage for Tuesday night's debate are white, and they will be appealing to a South Carolina Democratic primary electorate that is predominantly black.
I have been saying that for weeks. The only Democrats left in SC are blacks and not one of the Democrat candidates is black. And blacks predominately vote for blacks and if there isn't one running they will turn out in much lower numbers. The Democrats don't have much chance of winning SC anyway, now they will have even less. https://tinyurl.com/r3z8tyo Posted by: Vic at February 27, 2020 04:05 AM (mpXpK) 863

From the "figure out your carbon number" from above, "to eating meat and dairy, each choice and activity in the modern world carries its own carbon emissions." I like how they are giving you a free pass if you eat farm to table soy beans. Also, why is it always called carbon emissions? Why isn't it called carbon dioxide emissions? It sounds like I'm emitting charcoal. Posted by: Bruce at February 27, 2020 06:02 AM (vd8XM) I had some nice ribeyes recently, nicely carbonized I may or may not have made some impressive carbon emissions, too.

CDC warns against the coronavirus and facial hair which could interfere with wearing a respirator. When I worked at the Nuke site we were not allowed to have beards because of that because if you had to wear a respirator you could not get a seal.

Posted by: The Oort Cloud - Source of all SMODs at February 27, 2020 07:14 AM (p0pYQ) There is a scene in Urban Cowboy that discusses this.

how's the silver polishing project going ?
your pattern is about as ornate as it gets Posted by: REDACTED at February 27, 2020 07:15 AM (rpxSz) --------- I tried the aluminum foil/baking soda thing, and it worked somewhat, but it dulled the fork somewhat which I didn't like. I polished it and it's better, but I wouldn't do that again. And of course after I did it I found a few places on the internet that says "don't ever do this." I'm leaving it be for now - probably no one will notice but me. I'll be using it at Easter and I might try some other polish then. Posted by: bluebell at February 27, 2020 07:20 AM (/669Q) 1054

And yes, I do use that silver cloth. The whole set is in a chest lined with it and it's pristine (it was my friend's grandmother's).

What are they going to do, throw money in the sky?
