Saturday Overnight Open Thread (2/26/22)
Producing an ONT 5 nights a week is an interesting hobby. It's also interesting and informative.THE UNDERGROUND WORLD OF BOWLING LEAGUE GAMBLING - You might be borrowing shoes, but if you’re playing the game right, you’re also taking home cash
When Connor joined a bowling league last year, he didn’t realize that also meant he would soon become a gambling man. But for the 33-year-old Chicagoan, walking into Diversey River Bowl that first time was like walking into a casino full of guys drinking in their socks.
This Is What A $28,000 First Class Trip Around The World Looks Like
What is a Saturday ONT without a penis story. Hey, it's not Ukraine.
An Iranian man was left unable to urinate and in need of skin graft surgery after getting an AA battery lodged in his penis. The 49-year-old patient, who has not been named, went to hospital in Tehran in April 2021, where he told doctors the object had been stuck for 24 hours. Medics were able to prise the battery out without surgery and discharge the man on the same day — but he was forced to return months later in pain.
And here I go squeamish when I see the catheter commercials on late night TV.
If I were drive a big unheated yellow tube, you are damn straight I wouldn't be passing any tox screen.
Washington state regulators found more than 600 safety and procedural violations by school bus carrier First Student in the past two years, dozens of which persisted for years after company officials were warned of the infractions. The company repeatedly failed to screen drivers for drugs and alcohol, cleared employees to drive before they’d even completed an application for employment or a history of their driving records, provided false information on driver records and allowed some vehicles to continue running even when seats weren’t securely attached, according to a complaint from the state’s Utilities and Transportation Commission. First Student, which provides daily school bus and charter service in Seattle, Tacoma, Vashon Island and several other school districts in Washington state, could pay up to the maximum fine of $364,000, depending on the outcome of a hearing next month.Oh lighten up it's a joke, I would have zipped tied and used duct tape on those little bastards while I was sober.
What a catch!
To be honest, I’d had better evenings. Two hours of stilted conversation over rubbery haddock in lukewarm, milky fish juice at a seafood restaurant somewhere on the Kent coast was, frankly, two hours too much. My date’s rehearsed soundbites about his job in dental sales made me want to stick a fork in my eye and the frequent awkward silences came as a blessed relief. As he regaled me with another story about shifting two hundred oral suction pumps to a hygienist in Jaywick, I determined to never swipe right again for a man whose eyebrows join in the middle.
The incident reportedly occurred Feb. 7 at Ginn Academy, an all-boys public school located in east Cleveland. According to local outlets, the explicit video was originally stored on the teacher’s mobile device and AirDropped to more than 200 students with iPhones. According to FOX 8 News, the teacher claimed she had heard rumors of a circulating sex tape featuring her and her boyfriend; however, she told police she doesn’t know how the video was released. Authorities also noted that there were four to five videos that were sent on Feb. 7, but only one of them is believed to contain sexual content. “If somebody were to have access to an unattended phone, its fairly easy to capture someone’s passcode,” Alex Hamerstone of TrustedSec Cyber Security told WKYC. “If someone has bad intentions, the first thing they’ll do when they get access to your phone is look through your pictures, look to see if you have a private folder and see what’s in there, or look at text messages and try to find something inappropriate.”
Pretty difficult to do with payphones and mimeograph machines. Get off my lawn.
Born on this day: February 26th 1928 - Fats Domino
Fats Domino, (Antoine Domino), singer, pianist, bandleader, songwriter. Domino attracted national attention with his first recording, ‘The Fat Man’, made in late 1949 for Imperial Records, an early rock-and-roll record. ‘The Fat Man’ sold one million copies by 1953 and it is widely considered the first rock-and-roll record to achieve this feat. Domino had 35 records in the US Billboard Top 40. Domino died on 24 October 2017 aged 89 at his home in Harvey, Louisiana after a long-term illness. via thisdayinmusic.com
Born on this day: February 26th 1932 - Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash US country singer, songwriter who was considered one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is remembered as a country icon, his songs spanned other genres including rock and roll and rockabilly and blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal won Cash the rare honour of induction in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. During the last stage of his career, Cash covered songs by several late 20th-century rock artists, most notably 'Hurt' by Nine Inch Nails. Cash died of respiratory failure on September 12th 2003, aged 71. via thisdayinmusic.com

Battery Victim Initially Thought His Girlfriend Was "Being Rough Like '50 Shades Of Grey'"
A Florida Man told police that he thought his girlfriend was “being rough like ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’” when she began to slap him yesterday, but he eventually fled the couple’s apartment when the woman became more aggressive and left him “seeing stars” with a bump on his head, according to an arrest report. Cops say after Nicole Onque, 21, and the 40-year-old victim returned to their Largo home early Monday morning after attending a festival, the pair argued when Onque was unable to locate her phone. Though she would eventually find the device, Onque “was still upset.” The victim “attempted to sit at his desk and ignore the defendant,” an officer noted.
Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by Going The Extra Inch.

He once riffed/adlibbed on "Mork and Mindy" that seeking sympathy was an "old Jewish trick" - the director left it in and it was aired on national TV.
It was offensive. But Hollywood let that kind of shit happen then - it was wrong and he was wrong but no one had any balls in that town to call it out.

The school systems are not on the hook for maintenance, capital costs, and the drivers are contract employees of the bus company. Usually big school systems hire out, as part of their graft.
The smaller schools systems want more control, so they have in-house bus systems.
There are exceptions, like Fairfax County, Virginia, which employs 1,400 school bus drivers. .

The Russians are suspending their launch of satellites from French Guiana. Russian space companies will be hurt by the loss of hard money for use of their rockets. The Europeans will be hurt for a time, from not being able to use Soyuz boosters to launch European satellites. It will be interesting to see how long certain sanctions are in-effect.

Blaming European sanctions enacted after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Russian space agency said Saturday it is recalling dozens of engineers and technicians from French Guiana and suspending Soyuz rocket operations there, grounding a pair of European navigation satellites previously set for launch in early April.

There are so many ways to screw up now. And then I hear about teachers perving around on the job and I think about that girl that was fired and it kind of pisses me off. With onlyfans and the like this is going to be more of a problem. They shouldn't get into it, yeah, but someday they'll need a way out and forgiveness. I can't see how that will all work out.

He actually suffered from Lui Body Dementia at the end - it's basically what you are seeing from Punchy right now - periods of lucidity juxtaposed against periods of dementia - its irreversible - when Williams was given that final diagnosis, he took his life. Punchy is beyond where William is, I think. He can't make that decision that Williams made because he no longer can relate between what is real and the world that he thinks he's living in - in short, the man is gone. Everyone around him understands that and is basically playing along - but in the end, Punchy will punch out of life - sooner rather than later.

No, I'm a terrible leader. Every time I've ended up in a leadership position, my management style has been inspiration through pity and guilt: "Please, please, just do what you're supposed to do and don't fuck this up, because I'm going to be the one who gets it in the neck if you do, and I just want to go home and eat ice cream sandwiches".
It's not a paintball game or anything, it's just a meet-up. You could park yourself off somewhere (with dogs and/or a cat, if it's Texas) and not say anything and people would occasionally drift over and say hi and wander off before it got awkward. Really.

Not me. I'm a follower.
I was a leader for a long time, 30+ years. And I always wound up lost.
That's a super great thing about faith in the Lord. I don't have to lead at all anymore, He does. Nor do I have to search for meaning, question my purpose, or any of that stuff that kept me constantly frustrated and angry and depressed. The Lord just kept laying new things in front of me.
It started by cleaning gutters at the church, then doing some fix it stuff, cooking church meals, then running AV, then doing the church books. Hell, within 5 years the preacher made me fill in for him one Sunday. And I don't know shit from Shinola.
But I just do whatever gets laid in front of me. It's such comfort to do something meaningful in what appears to be a meaningless world.

Thanks for that update. Man, the Russians are messing up all over. And they claim to be able to bring down the ISS.
Can we replace the Russian ISS modules with Elon Musk designed ones?
Posted by: NaCly Dog (u82oZ) at February 26, 2022 11:18 PM (u82oZ)
Good evening, sir. Yes, the Russians can bring down ISS if they choose. The main Russian module, Zvezda (star) has the only propulsion system on the entire ISS. US supply craft (like Musk's Dragons) can fire their maneuvering jets to boost the ISS's orbit a little while docked, if they have enough extra fuel. Zvezda can be fully controlled from the Russian Mission Control; NASA cannot control it. Russia has had NASA, ESA, and the Japanese over a barrel from the start, since the US and ESA decided to NOT build a propulsion module they control, relying solely on the Russians for this critical function. (that's a short version of the story)
Musk and anyone else can build modules to attach to either the US or Russian portions of the ISS, since both portions are outfitted with the same type of docking mechanisms.
NOTE: Russian ISS activities have been excluded from the sanctions, so far.

"Geolocation", or using known visual cues and landmarks to ID the exact location of images, is going hogwild. A Russian armored column passes a gas station between Melitopol and Berdyansk. Image posted to the web. Within minutes, geolocation IDs the exact spot based on a side building at the gas station (this happened in the last hour).
And some very weird stuff going on. A Siberian paramilitary riot police unit was mobilized and sent to Belarus. Oddly, they were told their duties would NOT be related to occupation/securing LOCs, only thing they were suitable for. On day two of the war, they drove all the way to Kiev, and when attempting to enter the city, were ambushed, many captured. WTFFF?

To go digging and seeking and reading into the info and open to reading between the lines as far as sociopolitical things go. They don't and wouldn't hold with the true deviancy of the "leftist" at all, but are still living in the world where the "authorities" weren't completely bent.

You know re Ukraine. I'm now at the everything is bullshit stage. It hit me late last night. The media, fueled by the US govt and NATO govt's are pushing ridiculous levels of propaganda. The "mobile crematorium" thing was what flipped the switch in my mind. Utter and complete laughable bullshit. Pentagon people pushing that with a straight face, and the media lapping it up.
Then, I was just looking at the ton of amateur level fake photos and videos being put out.
You know that "ghost of Kiev" fighter pilot? Most likely total propaganda bullshit. Cryin' Adam Kinzinger tweeted some supposed photo of this pilot. It was from a video game.
Photos "brave Ukrainian soldier kissing his teary wife as he leaves for the fight." That came from a movie. Photos and video of supposed fierce fighting in the streets. Old photos and videos from years ago.
It's all bullshit, and I'm believing nothing the media says.

NASA does not have money or authorization today to build an orbit maneuver and re-boost module. Congress and the Prez can change that anytime they want. The US intends to build a de-orbit propulsion module and attach it in time for the now-planned 2031 end of ISS. ISS will be targeted to impact
in the middle of the Pacific. Work on that module won't start for anoth 4 or 5 years. Some of the Russian (maybe) and US, ESA, Japanese, and commercial modules may separate and go to a new ISS in 2030. The plans for that are all pretty fuzzy right now.

There have been "saboteurs" in Kiev and down south, quite a few cuffed by the Ukes and the story told (have to say, not impressed by these efforts - it's not like you're trying to infiltrate a gaijin into war-time Japan, how hard can it be to pass in Ukraine for a Russian? Plenty of Russians who speak Uke and can fake the accent).

Posted by: pawn at February 26, 2022 11:47 PM (Cfk8j)
Linear dimensions in Imperial and Metric have a hard, exact, two decimal-place conversion factor (1 inch = 25.4 millimeters) so the construction of hardware by Americans and Russians to fit together is not terribly hard. Tolerances are the fly in the ointment, but with proper attention to those details, everything can properly fit together.

And my big epiphany last night was I realized this propaganda was working on me. It hit me like a brick. I was being told what I wanted to hear, propaganda designed to get me to lower my resistance to this war.
I was against all the mess as we all talked about. But now, I get a picture of "valiant, brave underdogs fighting heroically against the big bad bully". A wonderful story to push our American buttons.
It is to pull our heart strings for the Ukes, and make use support further escalation of war, attacks, sanctions against Russia.

And as is fundamental to understand, Russia's in a tough spot and it has nothing to do with Putin per se. No plausible Russian leadership is going to go along with Ukraine's full (de facto, or formal) military integration with NATO. That's what this is about.
If this desperate and fairly radical solution fails, the problem only gets worse for Moscow, not better. Which is why regardless of whether Russian forces achieve the objectives western observers have set for them (as none of these people or us know the actual plan) or not, Russia's not saying "aw, shucks" and walking away. Putin or successor.

The US and Euro governments, who control most of the world's ability to create propaganda have fairly openly decided to help Ukraine so...I expect that there will be plenty of propaganda in favor of the Ukes.
But I do wonder if it is going further then that - is there perhaps an effort to completely sanitize the news available in western sources?
I expect fog of war...but the amount of info released to the public is almost nothing. And the US government knows, right now, exactly where the main Russian and Uke forces are and what direction the fighting is going in.

He was planning on quickly decapitating the Uke govt and installing a puppet govt, then getting out. It clearly hasn't gone well so far.
And now we're seeing a lot of stories about just how bad the Russians are fucking up. How they're getting bogged down, etc, etc, etc. Even "Putin is out of his mind, something is wrong, etc, etc".

Russia and ESA agreed to build a Soyuz launch facility in French Guiana (Kourou) about ten years ago. This was done so that Soyuz boosters could do the job of launching non-heavyweight GEO and LEO sats, but much heavier than could be launched on a Soyuz out of the main Russian launch site at Baikonur. I do not know how many Soyuz launches have been done from Kourou.

Arianespace uses Soyuz for their medium weight launches, or at least they used to.

Outside the intel sector the only reliable evidence is some imagery, properly understood and clearly legit. Such as the photo I mentioned above, of a Russian column in the south, moving north of Melitopol. That tells us they're at least that far - actually other video soon indicated that they (or some Russian units) were as far as Zaporozhe, even further north.
The Uke govt. have actually been putting out fairly reasonable press statements in their "intelligence updates) - not clearly nuts, or wishcasting, and mostly corresponding to all other available info (the English, and the non-ridiculous nature of these, makes me think they've got an American vetting at least the English versions).
The scanty MOD briefings in Moscow are short on info and packed with dubious claims and eye-rolling accusations.

Putin is not going on any blitzkrieg across Europe. Or touching a NATO country. There's a very real and boring and Russian reason this war is happening, and it's such a secret that Moscow has been asking, then screaming, about it going back 15 years. Most recently (and this was clearly their last attempt), at face-face talks with the US in Geneva that started last year.
Ukraine's military future, specifically its growing capability and integration with NATO, formal or otherwise.
Of course Putin fogs up his statements about this issue ("a knife at our throat") with all kinds of nonsense about the Uke regime, and "denazification", which are not the point at all. And in colliding paradoxes, Russia must invade Ukraine to try to keep it neutral, while NATO reacts with aid that validates Russia's foundational fears.

I keep meaning to ask.... do you think Putin really is afraid that NATO is ever going going to invade Russia?!
I just don't get it. I mean, I understand it in the sense that we wouldn't want Russia to take over Mexico for the same reason, but Russia has a long history of aggression and invasion, whereas America has never invaded anyone with the intent of making it the 51st state.
He can't possibly be afraid of any of the Euro weenies any more, either.
Is it paranoia, or does he just want to install leaders favorable to him along the bordering countries?

Apparently the Russians are still running T-72s - which, you might expect indicates a tank design from the 70s.
They have newer ones as well, but I guess their plan is to use the older ones until someone destroys them? A very Russian take on things I guess...

true, and thanks for your informed input. I'm just saying it seems like he may have poked the lazy ass "bear" of Europe, by killing civilians, going further than needed, and maybe even his own people are not in support.
A strong financial "counter-offensive" against Russia may be more devastating than Putin had considered. Not to mention the (possible) stronger resistance than he expected, and maybe Russian troops are not as perfect as some of the portrayals.

Like you I laugh when I consider that Moscow might consider NATO some sort of offensive threat - for both military and political reasons (i.e. most of NATO has disarmed and none of it has the will to do almost anything).
But that's why we're not paid to give the speech at the annual victory parade on May 8 in Red Square, and Putin is. Summarizing brutally, Russia has a non-trivial and non-insane heightened sensitivity to invasion, induced by history, so taking no chances is SOP.
They can and have lived with the Baltics and Poland in NATO. Bulgaria, Romania, not that big a deal. Macedonia, and Albania ..... I assume they laughed and shook their heads. But Ukraine. It's a cumulative thing, with NATO expansion since '91, but Ukraine is uniquely sensitive for them for many reasons. From Moscow's perspective, it is not necessarily irrational to regard Ukraine's remaining a lightly armed non-allied state as a vital interest. "Knife at our throat".

Regardless, if you're prudent, and Russian, it's not so simple.
Unfortunately several US administrations and years of feckless European NATO leadership has never taken the Russians seriously on this. This war is absolutely and directly the outcome of lazy, arrogant, unserious handling of the Ukraine matter. Not excusing or blessing Russia's actions - but pretending that today's actions are frivolous or wacko or incomprehensible is stupid, and indefensible.

We've pursued regime change in Afghanistan (clear cause), Iraq (dubious cause), and Libya (YOLO!) since Putin first took office. It's clear to anyone willing to look that DC thinks it's in charge of the world, and the WEF crowd, which DC is in bed with, is looking to make that real. And DC jointly with Beijing launched a bilogical weapon that affected everyone, including Russia.
And they've been working their way across Europe through alliance and overthrow right up to their doorstep. Putin had to put down a DC backed coup in Kazakhstan around a month ago. So he's got plenty of reason to distrust the intentions of DC and its partners.

People keep using the analogy that Ukraine is like Mexico or Cuba. Well, foreign Euro countries did align themselves with Mexico. The French and Germans did it.

It's not exactly taking care of her per se; I mean, she lives on her own, next door to us ( a few acres over) but she's partially blind and fairly dependent on us because of that and her age. The main thing is that she's starting in with some kind of dementia....getting very forgetful, and can't "connect the dots" in basic things any more.
And I am frankly lousy at dealing with it, I seem to have lost all patience! Plus, before I recognized that she was starting to decline, we fought a lot, because she got really bitchy, and I'm still on a bit of a hair trigger, much to my shame.

Like everyone else not privy to actual Russian plans or comms, I have no idea what their strategery is, but given the politix and their likely objective (regime and policy change, not conquest), avoiding urban areas has seemed like a good idea. Plus, they don't have the massive numbers to do everything.
So it *seemed* the Ukes were resisting around Kharkov, keeping the russkis out, based on imagery and Uke official statements. But who knows. Well now there's imagery of units moving through parts of the city.
The column takes fire from the building where the videographer is. He (she/it/they/xer/xim) ducks down a bit when the outbound fire happens. !!!!! Jeebus, the scenes one is seeing from over there. People strolling up and videoing soldiers, paratroopers organizing their defense, etc. It'll be a miracle if a lot of Uke civilians aren't killed thru this insanely dangerous behavior.

Good Night, AK. I am off to bed as well. Been a long day, and I am now very sleepy. Night, Horde.

Breaking: @abcnews journalists @maxwalden_ & @PatsKarvelas have spread misinformation about Australian Proud Boys flying to Europe to fight for Russia. They thought a troll account posting flight take off footage from 2018 was current.

These guys have spent the past 40 years watching wars on TV where casualties are very low. AND it has almost always been a ratings and political boon for them (positive or negative.) They see it as no more dangerous or impactful than drinking too much in Vegas.

If you look to the Left as you drive into Yosemite Valley, you will see Power lines up on the cliffs, hanging over the precipice.
My Dad put those up there. For a couple hundred dollars a MONTH (yes, I have pictures... and have been told stories from the people who were on his crew then).
What some consider dangerous? is just another day at work, for others.

Head for heights required. Could not do it, but I am not fazed by flying (except all the other shit involved with flying.) The mind is a funny thing.

It just feels weird.
But when it's the weekend and Mr. Happy hasn't been for quite a while and suddenly he runs dry (Oh there's still fluid waiting to leave but things are blocked) you'll find how quickly you can master the mechanics of inserting a catheter for drainage.
Needs must.

I take it back to Korea, and Viet Nam.... where we essentially lost the Political part of the war (even after winning all the battles)... but there was no consequence to those in DC.... so they never learned that loosing has consequnces.

Very true.... I once went up a 75 ft tall mast, on a ship in a storm, to save a 40 ft wide radar antenna.. It was heavy enough to where we would have had REAL problems if it had fallen (like, heavy enough to damage the hull).
Now? I don't even like to go up on my roof... LOL.

Watched the speech. He made fun of them about his saying Putin was smart. Sort of doubled down.
Then went on to say what he did was wrong - Yep, one can be smart and wrong.
Said SWIFT was the answer. iirc.

It's 1969, you are a convict at San Quentin, and you get Johnny Cash live for your enjoyment.
I doubt it is like that in 2022.
