Saturday Overnight Open Thread (6/20/20) Not Much Of An ONT Edition
If you're going camping..........I'm not sure if you want to bring these guys along.......
Adios Segway.
Steve Jobs said it would be bigger than the PC. Some dubbed it the most hyped product since the Apple Macintosh. An era of secrecy bubbled up in the year 2000 about an invention that would change the world as people knew it. People speculated it was a hydrogen-powered hovercraft, or a device that would break the rules of gravity itself. Instead, it was a two-wheeled, self-balancing personal transport device called the Segway. Created over the course of a decade by Dean Kamen, a man already made impossibly rich by inventing a key technology behind medical IVs in his basement, it was released in December 2001 for $5,000 (the cost of a low-end motorcycle, despite the fact that a Segway’s top speed was 10 mph). At the time, Kamen said it would be “to the car what the car was to the horse and buggy.
Before the digital age struck, I used Olympia 35mm cameras daily. The digital age has taken another camera maker out.
Olympus — the maker of cameras you may or may not own, but are most likely aware of — has given up. The company sold its camera division to Japan Industrial Partners (JIP), an investment fund that seems to enjoy sucking up almost obsolete tech, as it did with Sony’s VAIO. This comes hot on the heels of Olympus claiming that it definitely wasn’t going to sell its camera business just over a year ago. There are various reasons Olympus is jettisoning its camera business. One is that the company now makes the majority of its money from creating medical equipment. Another is that the company’s cameras have been losing cash over the past three years. This, according to the company, is partly down to the “rapid [camera] market shrink caused by the evolution of smartphones.” It states that it “implemented measures to cope” with this hostile environment, but those, clearly, were nowhere near enough to save it.

Bourbon. The ultimate father & son business. Who knew? You will soon find out.
When you hear the story of whisky, it inevitably involves family. Even in bourbon, which doesn’t quite have the centuries-long history and tradition of, say, Scotch. American history’s whiskey glass is filled with stories of fathers and sons — and the occasional and hopefully growing number of interested daughters — so this Father’s Day, we reached out to them to ask why the brown-spirits industry is so likely to attract multi-generations of family interest. “Bourbon is something that’s handed down from generation to generation, or at least it was for me in Kentucky,” explains Jefferson’s founder and Chief Strategist Trey Zoeller. And it wasn’t just about his whiskey historian dad. “Just about everything my grandmother cooked was smothered in bourbon — and if you went to her house, she didn’t ask what you wanted to drink, but rather, how do you take your bourbon.” “I think whiskey is a very personal business and very relationship oriented,” adds Angel’s Envy Co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer Wes Henderson, who founded the brand with his father and now has several sons working alongside him. “If you look back, the bourbon industry has really been upheld by a handful of family brands — large and small — making the family dynamic ingrained in whiskey culture.”
Ybarra, who is described as Bartlett’s ex-girlfriend, appears to share the home with her. Upon returning to the residence after 3 AM, Ybarra began to “cook himself a pizza,” which upset Bartlett, who was sleeping on the living room couch. Bartlett then allegedly walked over to the oven, extracted the pizza, and threw it at Ybarra. The pizza struck Ybarra’s hand, “causing a minor burn,” cops report. When officers responded to the home, they noted that Ybarra “suffered visible injury and had food on his pant leg consistent with his statements.” Bartlett was arrested for domestic battery, a misdemeanor, and booked into the county jail. She was released from custody Tuesday afternoon on her own recognizance. A judge has ordered Bartlett to have no contact with Ybarra, barred her from possessing firearms or ammunition, and prohibited her from leaving the county without court permission. Ybarra also ended up in handcuffs after a computer check revealed that he was the subject of a fugitive warrant issued in Colorado, where he was charged in 2016 with a felony marijuana distribution count. Ybarra, who appears to have jumped a $50,000 bond in the Colorado case, is now being held without bond in the Pinellas County jail in Clearwater.

I used to have weed eaters. Electric. Then we hired someone to do the lawn because we could not deal sufficiently well with the fallen leaves' load this place generates.
I wind up picking up pieces of weed eater line left on our streets from weed eaters, usually one per week during lawn care season, when I walk our dog.

Will never forget, standing around in a Chicago park, and a lady cop goes by on a Segway. Zipping along. Until she keeled over just before going in an underpass, and the conveyance continued into a wall.
Fortunately she did not hit any civilians.

Nightmare Description:
"You send a hideous and unsettling phantasmal vision to a specific creature that you name or otherwise specifically designate.
The nightmare prevents restful sleep and causes 1d10 points of damage. The nightmare leaves the subject fatigued and unable to regain arcane spells for the next 24 hours."

Oooh, me too! I like Fisherman's Blues best, though.
I don't use a weedeater, because I am Just.A.Girl. I let my husband do that. Yeah, I know I could, I just don't like to.
I do use one a' them hippie mowers though, like Moron Robbie was talking about last night. I love it. I get some exercise, and it's quiet, and there are no fumes, and it doesn't give me numb hands from vibration.

Anyway, after the couple had been married a month or so, friends and family had occasion to meet with the new wife alone, and they asked her straight out if, in fact, her husband had attempted to claim "the third hole"...
"Alas, no..." she said, and she continued,
"I had implored... No, I literally begged my husband, on numerous occasions during our moments of marital intimacy, to do precisely that -- to take the third hole, but I am to be denied unto this day..."
Her callers were aghast not so much by the admission but by her candour about it...
"And besides", the young woman went on, "my husband says that if we do that, I might become pregnant, and we just simply cannot afford to start a family right now!"

100' cord will cover anything on my property, and the 'eater has been working like a champ for more'n ten years, now.
Doesn't weigh much, and maintenance has been right at "zero" thus far.
Kind of the polar-opposite of a Turbo-Diesel weed eater. Which would be the ultimate, except that I'm not 6'7" and 300 lbs. ripped muscle. Which is what a Turbo-Diesel powered weed eater would need to work the damn thing.
Maybe a Nitro Fueled Hemi powered weed eater would be a dozen pounds lighter. I'll look for AOP to weigh-in on the topic?

Ah, Seamus, the celeb encounter stories I could tell! This one is relatively lame. (well, they all are)
Santa Fe, NM, 1977 or 78, the last days of a failing attempt at an A/V production studio. The set-up is, the building we rented for our studio was in the middle of the downtown train yards. Usually not a problem, but...
Donald S came by with a very hot French gal. Wanted to record her singing. We did our best with limited resources. We got a couple of cuts done before a slight glitch: the RR decided to pull up and park an engine next to our building that night - and they don't turn those rumbling things off. Session cut short.
I don't think it mattered. I supposed that DS's interest was not exclusively about promoting the young lady's career. IYKWIMAITTYD.

I'm mildly intrigued by this movie, and not because Gerald Butler (now with Dad Bod) is showing his usual acting range of playing characters with Scottish accents. It looks like a mix of Deep Impact/Armageddon with one focus on a family trying to survive an ELE instead of the 4 foci we got with Deep Impact. Bonus points if the movie uses more public service announcements to creepy effect like this did in the trailer with the "Seek shelter immediately" message.

It is just a Cold War now, with extra-added Hot Spots.
The polls are nonsense. In the last 4 years, I was polled for Pres preference twice. I smeared PDT's name both times. And threw in some other leftist crap I can't remember now, like LBGQT rights, and abortion for all.
I lied like a rug.
I almost thought I was going to get busted, or they would say, "aw come on!, you don't really believe that, do you?"
But no. Gullible, crazy, stupid, what ever you want to call poll takers today.

That's part of the humiliation. We weren't the assholes who ever pretended syrup was going to stop racism, but once they achieve their goal they get to make fun of us about it. They think it's hilarious and we can't comprehend it.
Trump has given us a taste of how to laugh at the opposition but it's still a somewhat righteous laughter rather than the banal sadism they inflict on us daily.

I bought a Troy-built 4 stroke weed eater. pretty pleased with it.
You know what would cat's ass for weed-eaters? Hybrids. Small gasoline or Diesel engine, on a backpack running a tiny generator. Electric weedeater, with a tiny battery, good for 5 minutes tops (ultracapacitor, maybe), plugged into it. Engine idles unless there is current demand, and then kicks in. Result? Most of the mass is on your back; the power head weighs next to nothing, and it will run all day on a tank of fuel.

I'm not a big drinker, but I had sip of something a couple of days ago
that tasted good. It came in a can, and had vodka and grapefruit juice.
I'm going to try to find it, but I can't remember what it's called.

Well, just talked to Her Majesty and it looks like we're going to be fostering five (5) dogs from what was described as a deplorable situation (breeder ill, partner unable to cope, bad conditions in the first place).
The poor things likely have issues (heartworm, fleas, etc.) but we'll take care of them. Don't know how long we'll have them but the important thing is getting them out of where they are. Sufficient unto the day are the evils thereof.

Hmm... I will give you my focaccia recipe. It is so easy and what it creates is amazing. Doesn't take a lot of effort, just time (mostly waiting). I always said that if I was going to teach a bread course, I would start people with the focaccia because when people ate it they wouldn't believe they made it themselves. I'm pretty sure actually that this one is just a tweak of someone else's recipe rather than my own invention.
It gets made on a parchment lined cookie sheet. A version of it might make a decent pizza dough but focaccia itself gets dredged in olive oil whereas pizza dough would not.
The best pizza dough I ever made was actually the Jim Lahey no-knead dough. You bang everything together and wait like 24 hours and then use it. Again the effort-to-quality ratio is outstanding. IMO you don't get great pizza at home unless you bake HOT. Hot as your oven goes. Had a lot of luck with using a pizza steel. The damn things are heavy and unwieldy but light years better than stone. You have to really want to make pizza.

I cannot recommend the following enough: Diastatic Malt Powder. You use half a teaspoon to a teaspoon in most standard bread recipes. You will get a huge improvement. I would use maybe half a teaspoon if making half of the above recipe.
I get mine from King Arthur but they are out of stock. There are other retailers. It will make a tremendous difference to your bread.

I got there running my "digger" (tiller) and boy was it dusty. How dusty was it, you ask? So dusty the damn little air filter on the thing, which I cleaned out a couple of weeks ago, plugged up in about an hour's time. Starting running rich with black smoke.
And my own air filter got pretty dirty as well -- I'm still blowing muddy snot.
Took a shower and the water ran off muddy for a minute or so.

Long story short, it looks like the unions-- and the left in the UK-- became so unreasonable and intransigent, that public opinion (which I believe has skewed left for decades and decades there) couldn't help but end up on Maggie's side, even though I believe BBC was openly disdainful of the Tory government.
The only question left today is, why couldn't Thatcher have at least provided a safety net for unemployed miners? (It's kind of obvious the unions did so much screaming, no one else cared after a while if the career-less Britons ended up dying of hunger and boredom rather than ever being 'made whole' by training programs.)
I'm hoping this is a preview of what we're in for in 2020...

The mining unions basically struck themselves out of a job. Underground coal mining was becoming hugely unprofitable, anyway. Miners going out on strike for specious reasons wasn't helping any.
They didn't have safety nets for buggy whip makers, either.

Small, neat, efficient. A most "jewelry-like" camera in it's execution. And the Zukio lenses were, and are, superb.
Still, running a Nikon as a pro system up until the rise of the Canon DSLR, was pretty much the same as running a Glock 17 for the first 20 years of the Tupperware Gun.
It's what you did to ensure you had plenty of backup, and near-anywhere access to a bewildering array of lenses, accessories and other things. This worked to keep a working photographer behind the viewfinder, and not at the repairman's counter.
Canon's excellent F-1 system was competitive, but failed to evolve to compete against Nikon F-2, F-3 & F-4 platforms.
Advantage in many ways, still lies with Nikon, in that those lenses can be backwards compatible, all the way back to the AI-S mount, and earlier the (then) available AI-S factory conversion was performed.
Alas, Canon *had* to dump their bull-strong lens mount system, as it simply couldn't be forward-adapted to work with autofocus and later digital interfaces.
Today's Canon lenses are *far* better than they were in the '70s & '80s. Worthy competitor to Nikon, in every way. And they own a HUGE share of the Pro market, which they never achieved in the film era.
Hidden sleeper in the camera world? Fujinon lenses. Frankly, Fuji is basically selling more DLSR bodies under the SONY name these days.
If they really wanted to make bank though, they'd pay the licensing fees, and sell lenses with the user's choice of Nikon or Canon mount systems.
I've never worked with a Fujinon lens that was anything less than spectacular. My enlarger *always* had a Fujinon lens on it. None better in it's day.

Tamron, like Tokina, can produce some world class glass. I find the Tokina to be more to my liking, usually.
My bias against Tamron has nothing to do with the glass or the images it'll produce. I've just never liked the way they set in my hand.
Their choices of materials, textures, layout and printed scales on the lens barrel, has always been *meh*, to me.
Tokina is run by a rebel cabal of ex Nikon engineers who got sick of being roadblocked on new ideas, new materials and the like.
Not a technical analysis here. I just like using their stuff, better.

Fake observation, there. Okay, well, not "on-target", anyway.
Olympus was as quick to be "digital" as anyone. The OM-D was their Pro DSLR, loosely based on OM-2 architecture.
My first two "point n' shoot" digital pocket cameras were Olympus, and they were FAR more reliable than any of the Nikon Coolpix series.
But sadly, the advent of very high quality lenses in smart phones, coupled with insanely advanced digital processing techniques, has KILLED the "consumer" level, stand-alone digital camera.
Aside from the highest end makers such as Hasselblad and Leica, it has ALWAYS been the consumer grade, and mid level "pro-sumer" grade cameras that've under-written the enormous R&D and higher manufacturing costs of PRO level SLR and DSLR systems.
Kind of like, if there is no Ford F-150 for sale to the General Public, then there's also no Ford Racing of ANY kind being fielded, sponsored or supported.
Have to have the huge Bread & Butter sales to further subsidize the boutique Deli loaves, cheeses and meats.
At their height in the '80s & '90s, Olympus' share of the PRO market was always a single or very LOW double-digit percentage of the whole.
I'm one of the few willing to pay upwards of $1,500 for a lightly *used* Nikon Df, DSLR camera body. Just a bit more than MSRP for an iPhone 11, but the Nikon has lousy cel reception, and won't be popular with the masses.

The scene is intended to shock the inexperienced . You'd probably be surprised how much time is spent (or least used to be) training soldiers to kill without mercy. It isn't something you can think about.
People break down from being a part of it.
John Masters in 'The Road Past Mandalay' describes killing his own wounded, rather than leaving them to be tortured by the Japs.
War is a horror beyond description, and beyond imagination. It ain't like the movies. If you encounter a Vet with combat experience, just do not ask.

Am most of the way through "Light of Dawn", a colorized film documentary on D-Day, and German POWs are getting first aid right alongside the American wounded.
In Okinawa, the US had medical units specifically formed to care for civilians. Dedicating resources, going into yet another brutal bloody battle with an enemy generally unconstrained either by modern treaty principles or basic humanity in battle, just to care for non-combatants.
Might have missed it, but I am unaware of anything like that in human history.
And I can tell you in current day those standards remain.

My father made a gutter cleaner that really worked well. It was a long aluminum tubing wand, long enough to reach the gutters from the ground, with a U-bend at the top end. He threaded the top end, and screwed in a brass jet nozzle, with a bore of about 3/16 inch. The bottom end was fitted with a coupler to fit it to a garden hose. The resulting water jet was sufficiently powerful to blast leaves and the gravelly sludge of clay chips shed off the shingles clean out of the rain gutters. No ladders needed.

He was one hell of guy. Here's a rather self-effacing story, which I have linked to before: https://tinyurl.com/ybd67b4j
and a pic https://tinyurl.com/yay2clzw
His brother, Jim, (now deceased also) took an MG round in his arm in France. Kept the arm, but even after a couple of years in/out of VA care, it was never useful. Both were Citadel cadets.

That would have been cool. A cold rise is always great for bread. My focaccia starts with an overnight rise of the base for the bread (the starter, or "biga"). It's not sourdough.
Then you add the rest of the flour, water and yeast. It's super easy barely an inconvenience.

Not an issue. I don't think I've ever spent more than an hour at a buffet, and most of the time was spent talking with the people I went with.
I once way over ate at one, and the regret was...um...physically apparent shortly after leaving the restaurant. Didn't think I'd over indulged, but my stomach said I'd gone over the occupancy capacity. ^^U

I like buffets cause I have a number of favorites and this way I don't have to choose one.
Down side is each of the buffets around me that I've been to have their strengths and weaknesses, and usually one of those is one of the ones I really like. And the two I most go to don't have Cashew Chicken.

So cashew chicken is a favorite?
The buffet that was here when we moved back to WI closed down by order of health dept.
We went there occasionally and it was always good.
They reopened under a new name, only was there once, not that great, selections were really small and they put out very small quantities at a time which made you feel like you couldn't fill your plate.
Maybe it's better now, I should try it

Probably The Breakers then. They are still there. They have a Tiki bar, or did. We liked it but stopped going about 10 year ago. They seemed to think that I preferred green peppers and onions more than the beef that's supposed to be in the dishes.

One of the ones I like closed for over a year or so. The wife of the owner was involved in some pretty big criminal charges.
Not sure if the re-open is the same owner, but they made major updates to the seating and offerings, including a sushi bar (which I think I'm still not supposed to visit under Doctor's orders) and a Hibachi.
One restaurant I went to had finally reopened and had built a box into their door like you see at labs. A door on each side and only one side opened at a time. So you stood on the sidewalk while they had to walk from the box inside to the register which was still on the counter they had to walk around, then come back.
From the door though I don't think looked like the time they were closed was spent cleaning though. ^^U
