Saturday Overnight Open Thread (3/13/21) Potpourri Edition
.jpg)
The taxation office suspected a fishing boat owner wasn't paying proper wages to his deckhand and sent an auditor to investigate him. Auditor: "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them." Boat Owner: "Well, there's Clarence, my deckhand, he's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $1,000 a week plus free room and board. Then there's the mentally challenged guy. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of Bundaberg rum and a dozen Crown Lagers every Saturday night so he can cope with life. He also gets to sleep with my wife occasionally." Auditor: "That's the guy I want to talk to - the mentally challenged one."
Boat Owner: "That'll be me. What'd you want to know?"

A topless robber was caught on camera snatching a package off of the doorstep of a Houston home, as reported by Fox News.
The video of the porch pirate was captured on the residence’s Ring doorbell security camera, Fox News reported. In the video, the suspect, without shoes and a shirt that has all but fallen off, sprints to and from the door step. In the process, she grabs a package that reportedly contained a new dress from Nordstrom, KHOU 11 reported.

Is baseball on the verge of a permanent major change? Minor League Baseball Reportedly Experimenting with Robot Umpires
The seeds of the robot apocalypse are apparently being sown in Minor League Baseball. Or rather, the minor leagues appear to be one more sector of society where automation is being used to “augment” and then potentially replace human labor. This week, the MLB announced that it plans to “expand testing of the Automatic Ball-Strike System” (ABS) that had previously seen testing by the Atlantic League and the Arizona Fall League, two leagues associated with MLB. In the expansion of testing, “select games in the Low-A Southeast” of the minor leagues will use the systems, NPR reports. The experimentation comes amidst other rules change testing MLB is currently engaging in.
In the Bible, Noah saves animals from a great flood by bringing pairs of different species onto his ark. Now, scientists envision doing something similar — by sending 6.7 million samples of seeds, sperm, eggs, and DNA to a vault on the Moon. A team of scientists from the University of Arizona presented the plan at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Aerospace Conference last weekend. It may sound like something from science-fiction — but it’s not that far-fetched. “Earth is naturally a volatile environment, explained Jekan Thanga, the study author and a mechanical engineer. Any number of things — a volcano eruption, a nuclear bomb, or an asteroid — could trigger some kind of environmental collapse that could wipe out the Earth’s diverse array of life, both plant and animal. But a vault on the Moon could keep a copy of those lifeforms safe.

They say men never ask for directions. Not so if you are a Genius Award Winner.
A Chicago man has been arrested after stopping to ask the police directions in a stolen car, Chicago’s NBC affiliate reports. Lafayette Moore was taken into custody on Friday for charges of motor vehicle theft, Joliet, Illinois police said in a statement. Per the police, an officer was investigating a crash when Moore approached the scene in a car and asked the officer for directions to Interstate 80. The officer gave Moore directions but then realised that the car matched the description of a vehicle stolen earlier in the afternoon. After verifying that the car was stolen, Moore was arrested without incident.

It isn't that hard to spring forward or fall back an hour just twice a year, I don't care what anyone says. And it gives us lots of daylight in summer evenings, whereas in winter the sun comes up when it's supposed to, not at some ungodly 8:30 in the morning when everyone's already at school or work or whatever. Getting up and driving to work in the pitch dark, in January? No thank you.
If we're going to do just one thing all year long, it should be Standard Time, not Daylight Time. I'd rather sunset come earlier in summer than be off by an hour permanently. But like I said, it's fine the way it is, and we should leave it that way.

Also, if a player is a dick, then a bad call sends them over the top. Again, a good thing. It adds to the drama of the game.
But by testing out a computerized pitch call, it just kills any humanity that baseball had left in it.

Back when I was a huge fan I was often heard to say it was only a matter of time before calling the game was mostly automated.
My idea was to (eventually) have sensors in the ball, gloves, shoes and bases. The ball would know when it's in a glove, hit the ground, or tagged someone, the glove would know when a ball is in it or when it tagged someone, the shoe (or batting glove) would know when it touched a base. That would be the Safe/Out calling taken care of.
I used to think about a lot of stuff.

I generally agree with the humanity sentiment but umpires are barely human to begin with.
Getting rid of them would be a blessing. A fair, consistent strike zone adds way more to the game than it would take away.
There's nothing I hate more in sports than the refs getting involved. It destroyed my love of football decades ago. They just have too much power. A bad call on 3rd down with less than 5 minutes to go is at best game-changing, and at worst game-ending.
In basketball, hockey and football, even with replay, you are stuck with them and their shitty frail (but arrogant) human judgments. OTOH in baseball you can get rid of them, except for one that is needed to know and enforce all the obscure rules.

God helps those who help themselves.
Guy is in a major flood, standing out on his roof as the floodwaters cover his porch. Some rescuers come by in a boat. "Get in!" "No thanks, God will save me!"
A little while later the water is up to the top of the first floor. Another boat comes by. "Get in!" "No thanks, God will save me!"
Now the water is up to the peak of the roof. A helicopter comes by and drops a harness. "Put it on!" "No thanks, God will save me!" The water keeps rising and the dude drowns. He gets to the afterlife and has a bone to pick with God. "God, where were you? You were supposed to save me!" God says: "What do you mean? I sent two boats and a helicopter." Maybe it's time to update that to two boats, a helicopter, and a spacecraft. Me, I'm hoping that Elon Musk gets to Mars and declares independence before he gets taken down. The future generations of Martians can worry about liberating Earth from the communists at a later date.

Personally, I believe in the pre-Trib rapture.
If I'm wrong, no skin off my back since I'll be with Jesus whether I'm raptured or if I die an earthly death.
That said, I don't plan on making it easy for the evil in this world to take me out.
There's a reason that the Lord armed His archangels.

I think "the West" starts when you hit mountains or at least mountain-like terrain, which for South Dakota would be around the Black Hills. The eastern Dakotas are every bit as flat and desolate as Kansas.
Those things don't really coincide with state boundaries... it's like the way that northern Missouri is part of the Midwest, but the Ozarks in southern Missouri are definitely not. The Ozarks are far closer to the hillbillies of Appalachia both genetically and culturally than they are to the Scandis in Minnesota, the Krauts in Wisconsin, or the Poles in Chicago.

Koenig was in his early 30's and was going bald. The hairstyling wasn't just for the "Monkees" look, it was a massive combover.
If it was a 3rd season episode, the budgets were so small that Koenig probably had to do his own hairstyling

I know at one point it got so bad they had special "fight" shirts, consisting of the ones that were already torn. Apparently they'd actually cut before a fight scene so everyone could stop and put on a "fight" shirt, lest one of the few remaining good shirts get messed up.
For years, I read Harlan Ellison bitching that Roddenberry had ruined his masterpiece script for The City on the Edge of Forever.
Then I saw Roddenberry's take, which was something like "Harlan gave me a script that would have cost $10 million to shoot, and I had a budget of about $1.95."

"They" are full of shit. Grass fed beef is leaner and has a distinctive flavor. Some people like it. But the best beef is American corn-finished prime beef.

That's so sad. I hadn't heard that part. Hits especially hard since wife's son took his own life last summer. He was very self-assured in the note - which we only recently received.
In it, he said his "only regret in life" was.....
"not doing it sooner".

MLB Owners: How can we continue to kill America's pastime?
MLB Commissioner: How about we get rid of most of are farm leagues. You know that costs us less than one mid range player's yearly salary. Besides the small cities that support us and pick up most of the tab are probably racist for housing all our underpaid players too. Don't forget these teams build our brand for peanuts so I say fuck them for 80 plus years of support.

Uh...I answered.
It's leaner and according to the food Nazis it's healthier for you because the fat is marginally less saturated and has some supposedly healthful fatty acids.
But fat is flavor, and American corn-finished beef simply tastes better than even the best grass-fed beef.

Me too.

But it's tempered with also knowing how much she suffered and how unhappy she truly was. She tried everything to get well. But well, you know. . .

pro tip
New York Strip and Ribeye is the same muscle on the beef, one is the front part the other the beck
argentina has grass fed because they have a lot of grass and not much corn
grassfed is cheaper to produce

All cows eat grass while they are growing. They don't eat corn until they get sent to the feed lots for fattening up.
Posted by: sniffybigtoe
Dairy cattle are generally fed alfalfa, technically a legume not a grass. Protein levels run in the neighborhood of 20%. Beef cattle are generally fed Timothy grass hay which has a protein level around 10%. In spite of what you might think , a lower protein level produces better quality beef. Feeding a dairy cow grass hay , which is cheaper, actually can cause problems in a cow being milked twice a day. Spent part of my bean counter career as a farm co-op GM. Got edjercated by some farmer types.

Half a sheet is Good Enough for many jobs (for instance, it's big enough to put a sammich on, so you can eat it while you're at the computer).

Braenyard's world famous hiccup cure.
Basically it's alternating swallowing water/breathing technique.
glass of water. inhale & hold breath, swallow, exhale, (do not breath in), swallow, breath in.
Do this with an about a half a glass of water and they will be gone. - Your diaphragm is out of sync.

anything else is varying degrees of "over done". and if you're going to order your steak medium or higher, ask the waiter to just bring you some charcoal and eat that instead. it will taste about the same.

For a topping, I don't like much more than salt, pepper, garlic.
"Krauterbutter" or herbed butter, was something I picked up in Bavaria when stationed there. There's a special mix of herbs and spices, mixed with cold creamery butter and garlic and allowed to age or blend overnight. It's pretty goddam tasty on a steak.

Nope... BBQ, but start on a low heat.... then turn it up at the end.
Talking like 250 degrees for awhile, then 500 or so to get the char.
Makes it done and red all the way through, while still getting that little bit of char flavor.

The salt-grass fed beef gives the earthier taste of the grass, but the high salt concentration in that grass results in a unique (and good) beef flavor, which, while not grain-finished, remains far superior to the ordinary, inland grasses. Think of it as a nearly self-seasoning beef. Problem is, other than local small town butcher shops, you're NOT going to find any in the marketing chains. It's a local thing, period. Oh, and as far as I know, Salt Grass Steakhouse sells about as much genuine salt-grass beef, as Panda Express sells panda. Which would be precisely, none.

Don't get me wrong, a standalone Filet is awesome - tender, but they are vanishingly small these days, and because they are lean, the beefy flavor isn't quite there. That's why they are almost always wrapped in a strip of bacon.

If you make fries, tots, or hash browns in a deep fryer, the next time cook a package of bacon in it before you do the taters (obviously you don't put in nearly as much oil to start, because you're gonna wind up with more than you started with).
Mmmm, indeed.
The bonus is that the bacon not only cooks very fast, but it is *perfectly* and *uniformly* crispy throughout, without having to hassle with trying to keep it flat, or turn it all the time.

Such a gauge would not be very accurate, unless the car were stopped, and on perfectly level ground. Accurately measuring liquid level with a float device is fairly easy, but because tanks are typically irregular in shape, converting that level figure into a volume can be challenging.

My first car was a 69 Oldsmobile POS with a worn out engine. "Burns a little oil" the guy told me as I drove away after buying it.
Holy shit, it sure did. Truly a fill the oil and check the gas kind of car. Blue smoke on start up (cold), went away when warm. Course that don't mean it stops burning it, you just can't see it.
Long story short, I'm cruising along and I hear this ticking, and it's getting louder and louder, so I pull into a Standard station and check the stick. Nothing.
Go buy two quarts, load em in. bottom of the stick
Go buy 3 more quarts. Good to go.
If it weren't for needed a ring job, valves, bearings, that engine would've blown.
Light came on as I was pulling into the station.

Assuming the car manufacturer in question is fine with adding a few bucks worth of optical or ultrasonic sensors to the BOM (e.g. luxury cars), this is not a hard problem to solve and one that a number of other industries already have to deal with.

My sister once had a car start spewing smoke. She kept driving and the smoke went away, so she figured the problem fixed itself.
Luckily grandpa had an identical car that was no longer drivable but the engine was still in good shape, so dad just swapped the engine.

back when i was young, had a future, and wore BDU's on a regular basis, i was taught that you ignored the fuel gauge and looked in the tank to see how much fuel you really had.
(insert long story about FNG's running dry @ the top of the ramp leading into base, me towing them back to my AO with my POV, some arms room chains and the (?) 5000 series padlocks we used with them.
the children were most distressed that they had to walk the mile or so to the maintenance section with the empty fuel can to get some DF-2. it was a teachable moment, and we made the most of it.

But they also had a reserve valve. With the lever on the toeboard pointing straight up, the engine drew fuel through a standpipe about 2" above the bottom of the tank. When the engine began to falter from lack of fuel, the driver used his right toe to kick the lever to the 9:00 position, and it would draw off the very bottom, accessing the last gallon or so.
Of course, you had to remember to reset the valve lever to the vertical position after filling up. Easy to forget, ask me how I know.

I'll take you up on that, sir, 'cause I'm not going to pass up a slab of properly prepared corn-fed beef, on a dare. It's the best! The authentic Coastal Texas Salt Grass Beef is a curiosity, an occasional, unique delight and is certainly worthy on the plate. But corn-fed, it ain't. Fun fact. The West End of Galveston Island still carries a surprising number of cattle grazing on the local salt-grass. Sadly though, the developers are tearing through the last of those lands at a pace that'd make Joni Mitchell cry about paving, parking lots and swinging hot spots.

Agreed, it's not impossible. You would probably need at least two level sensors, and maybe also some pitch and roll sensors, then feed all that data into the car's ECM, where it could be compared to a look-up table stored in memory.
For that matter, it should be possible to log every shot from each fuel injector, and keep a running tally of fuel consumed.

My parents' first Bug was a '59 iirc; it had the reserve 'tank' lever thingy. The '64 had a gauge.
Early on in car ownership, I learned to always check my gas mileage. For one thing, it allowed me to monitor engine performance; if it fell by 10% or more it was time for a tune up. Trip odometers made the task a lot easier. *ahem* I still do it routinely.
With those two tricks, I don't really need a gas gauge. I've had a couple of cars without working gauges, and I've never run out of gas. *buffs nails*

It used to be, before the manufacturers began to use suspended pedals, that the brake master cylinder was beneath the floorboard. There was a little trap door in the floorboard that gave access to the reservoir. This was a good thing, because the brake system leaked like a sieve.
I kept a pint of brake fluid in the car, and would periodically top up the reservoir while at stop signs.
Another aspect of the era was that the parking brake was a drum on the driveshaft.

No, but I've ridden several, and I love 'em. Fun fact. When first introduced, the local San Antonio dealership Sales Manager took a Sunday ride with employees and several customers in the Texas Hill Country. He was on the new Valkyrie. I was on my '89 Wing, with full Progressive Suspension, Tulsa fork brace, and steering head and swingarm bearings dialed to "zero", but still with free movement. Premium fork and shock oils, too. (identical to San Antonio Police Gold Wing setup of the day)
I kept up with the Valkyrie, but it wasn't easy. He had the horsepower and less weight. I had the more tuned-in suspension and lower Center of Gravity. (Valkyrie fuel in conventional tank, Wing fuel under the seat.) Never passed him, but stayed on the Valkyrie's ass for more than 12 miles of very challenging roads. Sales Manager was amused, pissed, and impressed, all at the same time.

there is a reason why, when Big Army took over Planet Irwin, and used the CA ARNG as the initial OPFOR, we handed them their ass. hell, we knew the coyotes by nick name, let alone the terrain. an M-48 broke down in a wadi, so they padlocked it and did a 6 digit grid. then the wind came up ans blew for a few days: at ENDEX they came back and couldn't find the tank, so every time the unit went up there, they searched the area. eventually Mother Nature uncovered it. gotta love the 185th Armor.

Ultramatic was Packard's own automatic transmission. But it did get used in the 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk, which was built with a Packard engine, 352 cubes. That was the only Studebaker fitted with an Ultramatic. Cars with Studebaker engines got fitted with Detroit Gear transmissions from 1950 until 1955, and Borg Warner built Flightomatics thereafter.

No argument from me. Chrysler products used their own Torqueflite transmissions, and they were very tough. The Packard Ultramatic was heavy, weak, and hard to work on. Packard would have been wiser to have licensed the Hydramatic from General Motors; it was by far the best big-car automatic of the early '50's.
The Detroit Gear series of automatics was developed with the active participation of Studebaker engineers, and featured a lockup torque convertor a full 30 years before they were adopted by the rest of the industry. Ford wanted to license that design from Studebaker, and Studebaker foolishly refused, wanting to keep exclusive rights to their design. So Ford worked with Warner Gear, and developed the similar, but simpler Fordomatic. Eventually, the Detroit Geat transmission became too expensive for Studebaker to afford, and they bought their Flightomatics from Warner Gear, which were nearly indentical to the Fordomatic. And Jaguar wound up getting the Detroit Gear transmission.

But that push-button transmission was a first for my eyes. We were always a Ford/Mercury family. It was a damned nice car, though. The original plastic seat covers were still on, and only the driver's seat showed any wear.
Car was given to Granny, but a first cousin, who was pretty much a fuckup his whole life (until he died being drunk in a car crash) had a couple of years before that totaled the DeSoto.
Dad was so pissed he didn't talk for a couple of days, as I recall.

no need to worry about me: i gave up being Catholic for Lent one year...back when i was young and had a future.
dodging the parish priest who was molesting the altar boys (he tried to recruit me) at my 7-8th grade school and the track coach @ my high school was just a value add @ the time: i already had issues with the belief prior to that, even as a kid.
that being said, i have no issues with, and nothing but respect for, believers, defined as those who actually LIVE their creed, and let their lives be their witness.
i am a sinner, and i admit it, and thus i find hypocrites offensive. YMMV.

The efficacy of daylight savings time is... non-existent. You can thank the Krauts for that. They were the first to do it, way back around WWI IIRC, and there was some demonstable energy savings, but that was with gas lamps, and way before modern energy usage patterns.
In modern times, there is not much evidence that it helps or hurts (sort of like mask wearing). In some locations, you can pull out some effect, but in others, it seems to go the other way. Net goose egg.
However, Big Retails seems to like DST. Longer daylight hours after getting off work time are a help to their business. Big Golf likes it too.
Fuck it. I don't give a shit which way they go, just stop the change.

One of my uncles, a conspiracy minded type, was convinced DST was some plot by "Them" to fool him somehow. If they want me to come to work an hour earlier, just say so.
He refused to change his clocks. During DST, he had to constantly adjust for the one hour offset. Be at work at 7 AM instead of 8, lunchtime was 11AM, quitting time was 4PM, etc, etc, etc. He got tripped up a few times, of course.

If it were up to me, I would banish Daylight Savings Time and be on Standard Time henceforth. We define a day according to Mean Solar Time. The idea is that "noon" is when Mr. Sun is directly overhead, and midnight is when he is at the opposite, directly underneath.
But, because of the eccentricity of the earth's orbit, and the axial tilt, that period between successive noons varies over the year. "Apparent solar time" would be measured with a sundial. The Equation of Time relates the different between that and Mean Solar Time, which is the average of that over a (tropical) year.
"Equation" in that is an ancient usage which means "difference" or adjustment.
If you were using a local sundial, there is also you longitude difference with the middle of your local time zone.
You could define a truly local time zone for your longitude, which a mean Solar Time averaging exactly noon sun overhead at your spot.

Apparent solar time can vary from mean by about 15 minutes in either direction over the year. While it's periodic, it's complicated thing.
Around the first of Nov, the sundial will be ahead by about 15 minutes, and falls behind by about that much by mid-February.
It has four zeros per year, meaning sundial time is equal to mean time. That occurs roughly mid April, mid June, first of Sept, and Christmas day. The leap year cycle shifts those by about 1 day over the 4 year cycle.

Dad was a woodworker by hobby, and was mechanically inclined - one of those people who could fix pretty much anything. He kept odds and ends of things that, you know, might be that thing you need for the next fix-it or project. Then, add in all the tools. Amazing how much stuff we accumulate. We barely made a dent in his work area.

Another thing I regularly freeze is bacon. I learned a long time ago working at a golf course pro shop/snack bar that frozen bacon was a thing. Of course the key is you have to separate the slices or you won't get anywhere. Not much better than always having bacon ready when needed. The refrigerated stuff gets slimy after a week or two opened in the fridge.

social media to attack civilian pundits. Unlike them and many of their
followers, I know there were real debates and discussions in the
country and in the services just a few years ago. I know most who served
in the past would likely question some of the views and priorities of
the present leadership. Hell, most in National Cemeteries would have
real issues with some of the views and political takes the present
leadership have. Who speaks for them? Sure things change, but at least
have some respect for other opinions. And Marines are not supposed to be
getting into political fights on twitter.

I know many love it and in many ways it is the best part. Personally, I never liked it. Some foods are better a day or two later, like a stew, curry, etc. Pizza basically started drying out the minute after it is made. There are some ways to preserve the left over humidity but that is mostly a day of affair.
The best way I know to reheat it is to put it in a pan over very low heat and cover the pan with a lid or tin foil. The moisture is the real key imo. But still, if there is a good way to save it for the next day, I am all ears.
