Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Saturday Overnight Open Thread (1/6/24)![]() Scouring the internet for content I'm always striving to give. The ONT Is Always Looking Out For YouTM Napping in the afternoon can improve memory and alertness – here’s why Some people swear by an afternoon nap – whether it’s to catch up on lost sleep or to help them feel more alert for the afternoon ahead. Even Boris Johnson supposedly favours a power nap during his work day (though the prime minister’s staffers contest this claim). Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, and Leonardo Da Vinci were all famous nappers. Is the following "Pie in the sky" wishful thinking, or has more evidence been found concerning DB Cooper. MICROSCOPIC evidence gleaned from a clip-on tie left behind by DB Cooper during his infamous skyjacking proves the mysterious crook's links to a specialty metals facility, an independent investigator claims. On November 24, 1971, a man who would become known as DB Cooper hijacked Northwest Airlines Flight 305 and parachuted out of the plane at 10,000 feet with $200,000 strapped to his waist. My how time flies for some. Being only ***29 I know nothing of these LPs. But listening to them they are pretty darn good. 45 Albums Turning 45 in 2024 Frank Zappa, 'Joe's Garage' (Sept. 17, 1979) On the bright side they didn't name you Richard Shaver.
With cell phones functioning as cameras and the World Wide Web what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas. Genius Award Winner. A man in Las Vegas allegedly decided to pull off the internet’s new favorite heist with some Modelo and an airplane. Heist stories aren’t new in Las Vegas. Whether it’s a fictional story like “Ocean’s 11” or a very real story like scamming Circa out of $1 million, crime and Vegas go hand-in-hand. It’s nothing new at all. However, the latest heist is straight out of a comedy movie. Suspect Damian Zukaitis is accused of stealing a plane from the North Las Vegas airport and landing it in the desert, according to Fox5. He also didn’t just allegedly steal the 2020 Kitfox fixed-wing single-engine type aircraft. He allegedly made sure he had plenty of hydration options.

Actress Cindy Morgan, who gained fame in the 1980s for her legendary blond bombshell role in the cult classic film “Caddyshack,” has died at the age of 69, officials said.
Morgan was best known for turning heads as golf club floozy Lacey Underall in the iconic 1980 comedy hit alongside legends Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield and Chevy Chase. Posted by: SMOD at January 06, 2024 09:52 PM (RovqD) 9

Vladimir Putin's police state has become so repressive that a popular joke from Soviet times has resurfaced and been repurposed for those Russians today who dare to acknowledge the truth about the autocratic regime they are living under. It tells the story of two FSB (successor of the KGB) agents who are having a beer after work.
The first one, Ivan, says to his colleague, 'Tell me, Dmitry. What do you really think about Putin?' and Dmitry replies, 'The same as you do.' Ivan thinks for a moment and says: 'In that case, it is my duty to arrest you.' Posted by: SMOD at January 06, 2024 09:55 PM (RovqD) 17

That top photo actually greatly resembles the Cigar Lounge aboard the Royal Caribbean "Navigator of the Seas".
It's not, but they're of nearly identical styles and details. You could easily mistake one room, for the other. Either room would be greatly improved by a rack of Holland & Holland, Purdey and Rigby shotguns and rifles, adorning one or more of the walls. Nothing reflects "affluent" quite so well as a fully engraved and gold inlaid, $195,000 bespoke Purdey or Holland & Holland shotgun. And the Mauser rifles as produced by Rigby are the stuff of a Dream Safari, indeed. Once could spend hours in reflection, while enjoying a fine cigar and a glass of worthy spirits. And the conversations with likeminded friends, would be stellar, to be sure. Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at January 06, 2024 10:03 PM (e6UQI) 39

JackStraw, I was too late to the previous thread.
I tired of listening to Bob + The Wailers after many years of gobbling up everything they ever recorded. I love their stuff, and the tremendous influence they had, but like almost all the Classic Rock I've been steeped in since birth, I grew bored of it. Thankfully I discovered many newer, even contemporary Reggae artists, who are very prolific today. My favorites, for 2023 anyway: Stick Figure (by far my favorite, a skinny white guy from Boston who nails the genre, and who is featured on many other current Reggae artists' tracks, too). Aya Terra. Elovaters. Rebelution. 10ft. Ganja Plant. KBong. Passafire. Sensi Trails. And, The Movement. Plug those into Pandora, Spotify, or YouTube, and see where the recommendations lead you. 10 Ft. Ganja Plant has the closest sound to Wailers of them all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WACIphNQk5w Posted by: Taq, Rickrolled by Jesus at January 06, 2024 10:14 PM (/QIWP) 74

Anybody do anything to commorate the third anniversay of the "J6 Insurrection"?
Apparently the Junta, who succeeded in the coup four months earlier, are expanding the persecution by an order of magnitude and announced they are going after thousands who disobeyed signs not present, "Do Not Walk on the Grass". As always they will hide any exonerating evidence such as complete fabrication of crimes they are accussed of - such as their awn agents removing the "Stay Off the Grass" signs before anybody ever saw them, and any other clues that literally the most known public building in the country was "closed to the public". The only thing they 'insurrectionists' can do is wait for the stormtroopers to come for them. Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher at January 06, 2024 10:20 PM (cOq4q) 88

One can imagine their net eventually widening to include anyone who commented on any web forum on January 6, who didn't actively and sufficiently condemn the "insurrection". Including anyone who put the word in between scare quotes. It seems to me to be sort of a neo-Maoist inevitability, the reductio ad absurdum end to it all.

Just twigged a funneh memory about MG Cravens. He was the Corps Sam executive VP and i was working with him on all of the ITAR stuff. Went in unannounced to see him one day and his secretary said "Mr. Cravens has an hour free, please don't let him go beyond that". I responded (knowing he could hear me) that it was nice to hear he had been pro oted to warrant officer 1, but needed to review his transcripts from the entry course to verify that his lobotomy was reversed. He LOLed. His secretary's face went ashen white.

Paratroopers have jumped out of the open side doors of countless aircraft, since before WWII and onward to today.
Even the big jets. C-141, C-5, C-17. The last command before the first jumper goes, is "Stand In The Door!". He does, and doesn't get "sucked out", but instead, jumps on the Green Light and shouted "GO!" from the Jumpmaster. And the rest of the string follows, in (hopefully) rapid succession.

There is a restaurant called "The Smoke House" here in Burbank Ca. Right across the street from the Warner Bros. studios and a fixture since 1946. Back in the day, a classic meat and chop house and a hang out for various studio types and movie stars under contract. The luster has faded somewhat these days yet one thing they remain known for is their Garlic Cheese Bread and the off the hook retro dinning room. Great place for steaks, Prime Rib and other nostalgic menu items. The Bar is also a throwback to more "Classy" days.

When a C-5, a C-17, a C-130 or the (now retired) C-141, open those back doors and drop the ramp, there is a HUGE HOLE in the plane.
A somewhat aerodynamic hole, to be sure. Quite unlike the fuselage section failures of other planes that've survived such failures. To be noted. The ONLY jets that I know that have not fully disintegrated and crashed from such failures, ARE Boeing 737s, various versions over the years. Seems no OTHER jet, has survived such blowouts. Yeah, it's easy to jibe the 737 for the failures. How 'bout cheering them for when they manage to land safely, after?

Actually, yes. The True Hippos (+300lbs), I will NOT allow in the right cab seat. "shotgun". So fat, that I cannot see the right-side mirror. Severe hazard, that. There is a "solo" seat right next to the sliding rear door, that I have them take. Ample room right and left, and legroom, too. I'll slide that "shotgun" seat far forward, and put a child or small adult up there, instead. Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at January 07, 2024 01:14 AM (e6UQI) 283

I'm on nightshift now. The majority of my working life has been nightshift. I have never had a problem adjusting to it. Now, going from a long stretch of nightshift to dayshift is a slog. Takes me a while to fall asleep at night, which is weird, and I never feel away during the day.

Usually a night lurker but...It's Little Christmas in my time zone. ("Many Orthodox Christians annually celebrate Christmas Day on or near January 7th... This date works to the Julian calendar that pre-dates the Gregorian calendar, which is commonly observed.") And it's my birthday. Though not Orthodox, my dad came up w/my given name & it was associated with Christmas. If I could have one wish, it would be to see my sister again. Anyway...
In keeping with F. Zappa & the earlier Music Thread, I thought about the talented Tim Moore (Wikipedia, if interested) from Philly who did have some connection to Zappa. Moore wrote & sang '2nd Avenue,' quite nice imho. I was going to try to post it but figured I'd f things up as usual. There's many things wrong with PA aside from Fetterman & Shapiro. The toll has just gone up on the PA Turnpike again! 360 miles long, it's the most expensive toll road in the world. If not bad enough, it also has the highest tax rate on gasoline & the highest tax rate on diesel at $0.741/gallon. (2024 rates, all) Yeah, the transportation costs are murder. BTW, 13 counties are also classified as 'sanctuary' in nature. Thanks & Nite, all. Lola Posted by: L - They don't have to outrun the bear.

Posted by: Skip at January 07, 2024 01:15 AM (fwDg9) From those planes, as well as the C-5 and the C-17, Paratroopers jump FROM rear-side doors, and not the ramp. Exception being, the '130 or '17, when Special Forces are doing "fancy" jumps, such as jumping with heavy gear such as RIB boats and such, or High Altitude, Low Opening jumps, where the whole team has to jump as a single cluster, and not a "string". Watch U.S. Army Paratroops jump from USAF C-17s. Side doors. Granted, those are fitted with a perforated Blast Shield and external step, nowdays. But, side doors.

The last command before the first jumper goes, is "Stand In The Door!". He does, and doesn't get "sucked out", but instead, jumps on the Green Light and shouted "GO!" from the Jumpmaster. And the rest of the string follows, in (hopefully) rapid succession.

The only chance Taiwan has to survive, is if it's military is trained to operate completely independently of Taipei, and go into action in the wee hours *after* the leadership is struck down by the thousands of already-there mainland agents, sown-in by so many "business interests" over the past decade or so.
Otherwise, one day, the Taiwanese will peacefully awaken, only to learn then, that their island Republic has been taken overnight, and subsumed into the People's Republic of China. All the threat and bluster of the military options, I think, is but the feint and distraction from the true intent of the STRATEGIC thrust.

Won't matter if the infiltrators are wearing Barney Purple. They're there, and the threat is FROM the "inside". Mainland China has shit for LST ships or Higgins Boat landing crafts.
