Saturday Overnight Open Thread (8/14/21)
.jpg)
I asked my husband if I was the only one he had ever slept with. He said yes, all the others were nines and tens. Give it a minute.... I’m on two diets. I wasn’t getting enough food on one. A cold seat in a public restroom is unpleasant. A warm seat in a public restroom is worse. Apparently RSVP’ing to a wedding invitation “Maybe next time,” isn’t the correct response. Don’t irritate old people. The older we get, the less “Life in prison” is a deterrent. Have you ever listened to someone for a minute and thought “Their cornbread isn't done in the middle.” Aliens probably fly by earth and lock their doors. “You will hit every cone on the highway before I let you merge in front of me because you saw that sign 2 miles ago like I did." I really don’t mind getting older, but my body is taking it badly. It turns out that being an adult now is mostly just googling how to do stuff. I miss the 90’s when bread was still good for you and no one knew what kale was. Do you ever get up in the morning, look in the mirror and think “That can’t be accurate.” I want to be 14 again and ruin my life differently. I have new ideas. As I watch this new generation try to rewrite our history, one thing I’m sure of....it will be misspelled and have no punctuation. I told my wife I wanted to be cremated. She made me an appointment for Tuesday. (This is from the guy in the first one!!!) Confuse your doctor by putting on rubber gloves at the same time he does. My wife asked me to take her to one of those restaurants where they make food right in front of you. I took her to Subway. I picked up a hitchhiker. He asked if I wasn’t afraid, he might be a serial killer? I told him the odds of two serial killers being in the same car were extremely unlikely. I went line dancing last night. OK, it was a roadside sobriety test... same thing.(H/T CBD)
Gregoire Thoby, 33, and Fabrice Delaure, 52, are so committed to their nomadic lifestyle that they have even sold their house in California and have "no destination" set, apart from adventure. "We lived in an off-grid RV for some time in France and Spain and absolutely loved being nomads, the freedom of it," says Gregoire, who moved to LA from Paris with Fabrice in 2015. "We wanted to let go of things: our apartment, most of our belongings, our upstairs neighbour’s phone calls in the middle of the night. Work less, earn less, live more."

I TRIED TO RECREATE MY FAVORITE DISCONTINUED HOT POCKETS - An incredible culinary horror ensued
I don’t like to waste food. For whatever repressed childhood reason, a wave of guilt washes over me when uneaten food goes into the trash. This can have its benefits — like when I make banana bread from overripe bananas — but it also has drawbacks. Which is why I can sometimes be found eating cold dinosaur chicken nuggets after my daughter becomes full after a single stegosaurus. Things were no different during this past school year. When my daughter was learning virtually, her school district sent home what would have been her school lunches. There was good stuff in there — like little boxes of cereal and fresh fruit — but there were also less appetizing things, like frozen mystery meat and off-brand Hot Pockets, the latter of which is where this journey begins.
Have any of you attempted to recreate an OTC food product? If so what were the results?
We all collect something. Since this is a Smart Military BlogTM I thought we would cover what one man, identified in court documents as Klaus-Dieter F. from Heikendorf, collected.
For decades, a German man has stockpiled Nazi weapons of war in his basement, including a 45-ton Panzer-V (Panther) tank and an 88-millimeter anti-aircraft gun. Now, a German court has given him a 14-month suspended sentence and fine of about $300,000 for the arsenal, which was seized in a raid in 2015.How the hell do you get a tank into your basement? Awesome collection, too bad some sniveling Karen had to spoil it for Mr. Klaus-Dieter F from Heikendorf.
Is this guy the Official Chaplin for The Bulwark & Conservative, Inc.?
If I was as smart as Jim Bakker's audience, I would join them in buying a $1,000 "Miracle Blanket" that magically pays bills. Bakker, the convicted fraudster televangelist who was recently fined for selling a phony Covid-19 cure, seems destined to spend the rest of his life running grifts on wide-eyed suckers. At this point, anyone giving this guy a nickel deserves what they receive in return.

I told my wife I wanted to be cremated. She made me an appointment for Tuesday.
Sounds like a Dangerfield original.
Speaking of which, at my most recent traditional part-time job, I was in the same mini-mall as a small mortuary. They actually had a special painted on the window: "FULL CREMATION $800."
I wondered what would happen if someone walked in, asked if the special was still valid, and upon being assured it is, slapped 8 Franklins down on the counter and demanded to be cremated immediately.

Commercial stuff uses a lot more salt than you would at home, IIRC. There's a need for it, anti-microbial prevention and all, but it's also so easy to salt it for amplified flavor sake.

1/2 cup mayo (REAL mayo - Dukes when I can get it)
1/4 cup ketchup - I used Hunt's
1/8 teaspoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (L&P)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
I mess with the vinegar sometimes to get the right consistency. It depends.

sorry about that. Just kidding but it is interesting how much what you grow up with influences you. I have been to some Thanksgiving dinners with some really rich people. But not a one of them could cook not matter how much money they had. It is funny that cooking well either means something to you or it does not. I know people who have had really well made homemade stuff and they hated it, because it was not like their childhood.

I may have shared this before - When I retrieved my late wife's cremains, the box was filled to the absolute brim with her. Any new widow/widower will tell you their brain isn't working properly early on. As such, I wondered - Hey, was her body just exactly the right size to have resulted in this exact amount or, did they have a bit extra that didn't make it?
Even worse, I guess - was there just not quite enough to fill the box and they used a bit of Big Bart who was in the furnace earlier in the day?
I wasn't sleeping anyway. What was one more impossibility?

It's also my observation that most people trying to save a buck and "do their own brakes" will &$@k them up. An old school mechanic I talked to, a pro, said easily half the cars he worked on in the shop had defective brakes because of Joe DIY and his brother in law people trying to work on them over the weekend.
The front axle ordinarily provides maybe 70% of the stopping power, this is what counts. But 30% at the rear axle is important. Turns out drum brakes were retained for the rear axle, because of the parking brake mechanism. It's more complicated to effect a parking brake with rear discs. It is not unusual to see rear drum brakes with no wear on them, because people don't know how to set them up correctly, and they don't realize how bad their brakes are, they just get used to it, I guess.

The loss of the Spanish American war was a shock to Spain's pretentions of Empire, and all they could do after that is have the Riff war, where the Spanish army was accused of planning repeated bloody actions where nothing was accomplished but gave out lots of medals and commendations.

Ed Harris to play Gene Kranz is probably a non starter, because left wingers can only really portray the tropes and stereotypes of how they think conservatives are. Heck, Kranz may be a Democrat for all I know. But I think the point still stands, they don't really "get it".
They think to portray these guys, they just have to act like an authoritarian asshole, who yell at people like a Marine Corps drill sergeant would, for chew people out no good reason,
etc, blow off the handle. To be sure, I would not have wanted senior NASA people pissed off at me. But they would have had their reasons, you can bank on it.

BBQ sauce is pretty easy, and fun. Lots of secret ingredients there. Pizza sauce, spaghetti sauce, that kind of thing. I don't mess with "Instant" Oatmeal either. Another food I don't care for, traditional on hikes.
Chocolate syrup. Merely subbing out cane sugar for corn syrup takes this to another level. Commercial foods aren't necessarily "bad" but they cheap out on some of the basic ingredients. Corn syrup, and industrial oils, and lots of ersatz, and preservatives.

I told y'all the story about me closing on the house and then 25 minutes later driving to the new house to look at what I had just bought, and the XFinity Cable TV salesman was already at my door trying to sell me cable tv service.

Jalalabad seems like it's gone too, so that's the last major town besides the capital in government control. Bill Roggio, who's been following this thing forever, is a good source of info. As he just said, it's only a matter of time. There have been no significant exceptions to the pattern of quick collapse/surrender/flight/realignment/whatever.
He notes that arrival of US (and I'd add British, and Australian) forces to secure evac of foreign personnel may slow things a bit in Kabul, but just a bit. Big question now to me is whether Taliban will be smart and just let the foreigners pull out in good order and without much interference.

It absolutely does matter when you had good service from your original mortgage provider, then they sell it to some company that fucks up your escrow account then demands that you fund it to the tune of many thousands of additional dollars within a few weeks of the demand letter. And then on top of that, they seemed to be staffed with 85 IQ mouthbreathers who care more about filing their nails and giving you shit attitude than actually helping.

More fvcked up than people realize. Iowa has what's called the "Abstract" system at the county level. Maintained at the abstract office. Every change of ownership of real property is recorded there and listed over the years. And each sale is supposed to get the county $25 or whatever.
What's "interesting", is when MERS came along, the real estate folks and banks decided this recording of real estate at the county level was too much trouble. They sliced and diced mortgages and mixed them up, on the notion that 50 current mortgages could be mixed into 500 delinquent mortgages and could then be slapped with "AAA" rating, and sold around the world as "Mortgage Backed Securities". Nobody knows who owns what, because they didn't bother to properly record it, as the law requires. Not every state uses the "Abstract" system, but they have something like it. I'm pretty sure phony balogna vapor ware re-hypothicated derivatives of derivative synthetic "mortgages" are highly fucking illegal in every state.

Two days later a sales rep called back to "confirm" my order and starting talking about all kinds of things unrelated to my order, as if I was an idiot (I am). I cut him off: "are you trying to upsell me on the deal I worked out two days ago, because if so then cancel all of it".
"Well sir, it looks like everything is in order here, have a nice day!". Smart kid. I don't blame them though, their performance review is probably based on how many suckers they can get to buy CNN plus or something.

If they had had any sense, they would have put each Megapack on a railway flatcar, and then linked up rows of 20 or so on numerous parallel tracks. One little switch engine to shuffle them around. If Car 13 on Track 3 catches fire, you Switch Track 3 out of the circuit, release the coupler between Cars 12 and 13, and haul Cars 13 through 20 out onto a spur, then switch them to a vacant track, drop off the burning Car 13, and run cars 14 through 20 back to Track 3, and hitch them in again.

Grid-scale battery storage for "green" power is a stupid idea. The batteries cost a great deal of money, and they have a limited life span. There are losses charging them, and there are losses discharging them, and there are losses in the rectifiers and inverters used to charge and discharge them. So you are taking relatively expensive energy, and making it more expensive by wasting a significant fraction of it.

There's a good case to be made for thorium cycle reactors. If we'd had sense and poured all the trillions we wasted over the past decades, just a fraction of it, into developing that, we wouldn't have to worry about energy for many lifetimes.
We could (along with transmission and distribution updates) have electric power coming out of our eyeballs.

Big problem with thorium is scarcity. It nearly all comes from India, where monazite-bearing beach sands are placer mined. If you are going to tie your energy security to a particular mineral, you'd damned well better have domestic supplies. AFAIK, there are no mines anywhere producing thorium from primary deposits. Its chemistry is such that it does not form minerals that can concentrate naturally in any of the means that form typical ore deposits for other minerals. Uranium is very active chemically, and does form such deposits, and is really quite readily mined.
