Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Saturday Overnight Open Thread (6/1/24)At the end of the sermon, the pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express a praise for an answered prayer. Suzie stood and walked to the podium. She said, "I have a praise. Two months ago, my husband, Frank, had a terrible bicycle accident and his scrotum was completely crushed. "The pain was excruciating, and the doctors didn't know if they could help him." You could hear a muffled gasp from the men in the congregation as they imagined the pain that poor Frank must have experienced. “Frank was unable to hold me or the children," she went on, "and every move caused him terrible pain." We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation, and it turned out they were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Frank's scrotum and wrap fine wire around it to hold it in place with metal staples.” Again, the men in the congregation cringed and squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Frank. “Now," she announced in a quivering voice, "thank the Lord, Frank is out of the hospital and the doctors say that with time, his scrotum should recover completely.” All the men sighed with unified relief. The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had something to say. A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium. He said, "I'm Frank." The entire congregation held its breath. “I just want to tell my wife that the word is sternum.” No nooky before the wedding night? And this happens. This should serve as a lesson. WELL AISLE BE DAMNED Groom discovers his new bride is a man 12 days after their wedding when ‘wife’ kept putting off consummating marriage Perhaps if I lived in a city and didn't commute more than a block, I might buy a used Tesla. Oh FFS who am I kidding. I don't ever plan on an EV. The launch of a new electric vehicle these days is invariably met with a chorus of "this car is too expensive"—and rightfully so. But for used EVs, it's quite another story, particularly used Teslas, thanks to a glut of former fleet and rental cars that are now ready for their second owner. "Due to a variety of reasons, Tesla resale values have plummeted, making many Tesla models very affordable now. Plus, for some consumers, an additional $4,000 Federal tax credit on used EVs may apply, sweetening the deal even further. Buying a used Tesla can be a great deal for the savvy shopper, but there are significant things to look out for," says Ed Kim, president and chief analyst at AutoPacific. Indeed, a quick search on the topic easily reveals some horror stories of ex-rental Teslas, so here are some things to consider if you're in search of a cheap Model 3 or Model Y. For more than a year, Tesla has been engaged in an EV price war, mostly driven by its attempt to maintain sales in China. Heavily cutting the price of your new cars is a good way to devalue the used ones, and Hertz's decision to sell at least 20,000 of its Teslas was in part a response to the lower residual values.

I'm going back to finish watching 'The Black Phone.' Madeleine McGraw won a chainsaw award for her performance. Girl is amazing. But, since I've started watching horror movies during house renovations, I keep the volume at about 10 to 13% and I turn on subtitles. I'm not going to blow out my hearing to try to hear every last word. And actually, I've been catching a lot of things I'd miss without subtitles.

So, my parents became very hard of hearing. And I talk loud. The cubicle people beside me were not happy. They got used to it and I toned it down,
But volume levels. I would watch 'Sherlock Holmes' with my friend. We would settle on volume level 18 of100. English show, accents, so yeah...But so loud! In my room alone at night, main volume is set to 1, I push it up to 2 and can pretty much make out most dialogue from TBBT and other shows. New science fiction shows or kids shows I enjoy..6 or 7 out of about 50 or so. But as I've been watching horror movies, I have to say, I like the 13% volume level with sub titles for whispering or foreign accents. Posted by: Stateless at June 01, 2024 09:56 PM (jvJvP) 58

The helmet damps the wind roar, and you can actually hear the tire noise of the nearly silent Teslas and Priuses out there on the road with you. Likewise, sirens from some blocks away, etc. Guar-an-damn-tee-ya, the helmeted rider can have a lot more situational awareness than the non helmeted. Until, that is, the helmeted rider plonks in a set of earbuds for toonz, or such. Then he becomes a self-cancelling fool. Can't make anything Idiot Proof.

I asked him to compare it to the wealthiest towns and...guess what they matched. I brought up how much they spent per capita and while the wealthy towns generally spent more, the ratings, and we checked several sites didn't care...it was only that your town was wealthy...If you are wealthy, the supposedly independent media will just rave about your town's education...and restaurants and...on and on...

I saw a clip from that old movie The Day After on youtube and one thing I hadn't noticed before - a lot of the videos of destruction were of random farm houses out in a field.
When I saw it years ago I didn't really think about it but...in the event of WWIII back in the 80s that wouldn't have been that common. The Soviets had nukes aimed at our cities, military, and economic targets. So unless Farmer Jones was unlikely enough to live near one of those target types he was likely fine (well, in the immediate term). I'm guess they were able to get clips like that from past nuclear tests though to use in their movie and outside of the two, uh, tests in Japan there wouldn't be video of nukes hitting a city.

--------------- Friend of mine bought a 2022 Ford F-150 Lightening. I bit my lip. Now, it has been in the shop 4 times for what seem to be *bad* irresolvable transmission problems. The dealership has turned him over to Ford's buyback program. Turns out that is Ford's way of addressing Lemon Law requirements of the various states. Problem, if the truck is 'bought back' it will be under rules that allow a 50% discount, based on milage and age. For my friend, that means a $30,000 hit.

Starliner should have done what the Mexican air liner La Tour did when we were taking off from LaGuardia. We took off and the front wheel was just about to leave the ground when the pilot shut it down. He came on the speaker and said a warning light came on and we were going to taxi back to see what was going on. After about 45 minutes on the tarmac the pilot came back and said ' they couldn't figure out why the light came on so we'll give takeoff another shot'.

This is turning out to be one of THOSE years. Mom had a big stroke on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend, and passed two days ago, in her sleep. Best outcome possible, since it prevented my sisters from having hospice morphine her to death. She's with Dad now, wherever he ended up, and I don't think it is a very nice place, but they are together, so there's that.
Kicked the boy out of the house today, moved his crap to a storage locker, and he was about as gracious about that as you can imagine. It isn't easy having a psychopath for a son. We are cleaning out this house to sell it, and moving out of Anchorage, probably to Sutton, which is tiny and distant. Anchorage just elected a flaming liberal for Mayor, to go with the flaming fag liberals on the Assembly. There are addicts living on the street everywhere who have better winter gear than I do, and those assembly asshats are making bank off them. They have ruined my city. I'm leaving. I'm not working as an architect any more because my boss was a spineless wimp and his boss was an ignorant bully who made it impossible for me to work ethically in that position, so now I'm learning to be a "Cost Engineer," which means...

Southern Baptist Convention meets June 9-12, members .. vote on resolutions including one that would condemn IVF because it creates more embryos that can be implanted. The resolution states embryos would be left frozen and “unquestionably destined for eventual destruction.”
“In Vitro Fertilization most often engages in the destruction of embryonic human life and increasingly engages in dehumanizing methods for determining suitability for life and genetic sorting, based on notions of genetic fitness and parental preferences,” the resolution reads. ... “Southern Baptists believe that Christians should in general oppose IVF because by its very nature it separates procreation from sex and treats children as products rather than people,” _SBC’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission Posted by: Braenyard at June 02, 2024 12:23 AM (YdEcD) 320

I think I shared this comment on Friday, but I'll do again. My friend/ who is an older straight- as opposed to crooked -or rather he's not gay works with some nice colleagues who are probably 30-40 years younger than he is . I think he is probably the older, nicer father or uncle figure. Anyway, some of them belong to a group called "GLOW" which stands for Gay, Lesbian Or Whatever I said if I worked there I would, of course, be nice to them but if I were in my office alone id probably chuckle because GLOW sounds like some old fashioned term for sweating. Men sweat, women GLOW. It's also a term for "Gorgeous women of wrestling"
Poor guy. He really is an old time liberal and when he sees his kids whom he loves and who are in their their 30's they needle him about having white privilege because they are of mixed ethnicity. Posted by: FenelonSpoke at June 02, 2024 02:20 AM (pVT7c) 390

I'm part Scots, Irish and Jewish. I demand the same! Of course, I'm partially of evil British background so I guess I can't get any reparations
I told him just to take his kids comments with a huge grain of salt. I am thankful to the Lord/ that at least so far, college didn't indoctrinate my son and he's not lecturing me about white privilege even though he's a white young man. Posted by: FenelonSpoke at June 02, 2024 02:30 AM (yjfRd) 392

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at June 02, 2024 02:30 AM (yjfRd) It really does piss me off to no end this whole reparations crap. Slavery has been a part of humanity since before the historical record, that is writing. It's hard to think of one people throughout history that hasn't either been enslaved or slavers, or both, at some point in time. To think otherwise is to deny the very nature of humanity that allowed survival. Survival way back then wasn't pretty: It was nasty, brutal and short. Not condoning slavery, by any means, it's just the way it was. But why have people dealt with that historical past up until now? I hate all this historical presentism passing itself off as intellectual rigor. Presentism is just historical garbage wrapped up in pretty woke 'we are superior to those dead white cretins' quotes. Enough. Rant off. Posted by: RickZ at June 02, 2024 02:48 AM (emlEe) 394
Scroti. (scrotum, scroti, n., neuter [not masculine or feminine]).
*scratches......head* Posted by: Miklos wonders why in four years of Latin this was not explained Is "scrotum" really Latin? Merriam-Webster says the etymology is from the Latin word "scrautum," meaning "quiver." "Quiver" as in "a bag for arrows," not as in "vibrating," presumably. Which makes me wonder how ancient Latin-speakers knew how sperms worked and what they looked like. Arrows? Kinda.

I cannot hear or read the words "Belgium" or "Belgian" without immediately thinking first of M. Hercule Poirot and his little grey cells, followed by an image that reads "Ceci n'est pas une pipe." And, finally, how much it must have frustrated the artist when people mistook Magritte for Maigret, or vice-versa.

Posted by: mikeski at June 02, 2024 02:48 AM (DgGvY It is, but I was wrong earlier. The plural IS 'scrota'. As for Merriam-Webster, they are partially correct. Here is a good explanation for that: "from Latin scrotum, which probably is transposed from scortum 'a skin, hide' (see corium), perhaps by influence of scrautum 'leather quiver for arrows'." Seems like some "misspeak", or maybe a sexual pun what with the testes being that leathery hide that holds the arrows that come shooting out (the Romans were pretty coarse/explicit, language-wise, with a lot of sexual innuendo/puns), and became a part of the language. Who knows? We don't know how the language is truly spoken even today. It's dead, Jim. Posted by: RickZ at June 02, 2024 03:07 AM (emlEe) 400
Well, not finally - Tintin, Leopold and the Congo, Sir Roger Casement, Joseph Conrad (and his bald-faced plagiarism of other writer's works), George Simeon and back to Maigret, then how bothersome it must have been to be a speedbump for Germans advancing into France twice, then...

---- That was a great BBC series of Hercule Poirot, Posted by: FenelonSpoke at June 02, 2024 03:09 AM (um7vI) Around that time they had another great series, 'Sherlock Holmes', with Jeremy Brett. Not only in my estimation but some critics as well, that portrayal was the definitive Sherlock Holmes. A truly superb interpretation of Doyle's character. Just as David Suchet's portrayal of Hercule Poirot was spot on, 'definitive' if you will of Agatha Christie's character. I loved both of those shows. Throw in some 'Inspector Morse' (John Thaw) and I'm good for hours. Posted by: RickZ at June 02, 2024 03:18 AM (emlEe) 405

Posted by: FenelonSpoke Was that the one with Michael Gambon, or the Rowan Atkinson one (which, although I was a huge Blackadder fan I didn't think I'd like, but did)? I know Rupert Davies did a series in the early Sixties that Simenon really liked. Posted by: John Drake Nearing the Caspian Sea at June 02, 2024 03:19 AM (u/Zei) 406
Sorry, senior moment there with Magritte stuck in my poor excuse for a brain. You're talking about David Suchet's Poirot, right? Because he was awesome. The only other actor that I thought came close was Albert Finney in Murder on the Orient Express.
Posted by: John Drake Nearing the Caspian Sea at June 02, 2024 03:23 AM (u/Zei) 407
I think you don't have to excuse your brain, Mr Drake. It seems extremely well functioning aside from senior moments that people above a certain age who don't have dementia, I mean , and yes, I was speaking of David Suchet's performsnce.
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at June 02, 2024 03:31 AM (G+cIq) 408
Further senior moment - that should have been "Maigret," of course. Somewhere in the Great Beyond René Magritte is saying "Encore? Merde..."
Mrs. Drake has helpfully slapped me on the back of the head Jethro Gibbs-style and maybe my system will reboot. Hearty ditto on Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes, by the way, and John Thaw's Inspector (Endeavour) Morse. Kevin Whatley's Detective Sergeant Lewis was great as well. Posted by: John Drake Nearing the Caspian Sea at June 02, 2024 03:31 AM (u/Zei) 409
Rowan Atkinson was Black Adder. Michael Gambon Was Georges Simenon's 'Inspector Maigret', also a fine portrayal of a novel's character.
Some of those actors broke into Hollywood from those roles, including the actor who played 'Hastings' in the Poirot series and Michael Gambon. It was like a quick invasion where that group (less Jeremy Brett) were in a lot of movies. Then POOF! I'm seeing that out again with Ioan Gruffudd (who was 'Horatio Hornblower' in a few A & E movies where he was really good and was in the 'The Fantastic' 4 movies) and Benedict Cumberbatch, though I find him less talented. They were striking while the iron was hot, or were, until white guys, even with British accents, don't cut it.

Very kind of you, Fenelonspoke - did you like the most recent Father Brown series? I was a fan of the Seventies version with Kenneth More, but I'm not sure the recent version moving it into a Fifties period piece was or wasn't a good idea.

Posted by: RickZ True, and I loved that series, from its medieval beginnings to its WWI end (plus all the special episodes he did with the character). But he did play Maigret in two television movies for ITV. Surprisingly good. Posted by: John Drake Nearing the Caspian Sea at June 02, 2024 03:44 AM (u/Zei) 416

Posted by: John Drake Nearing the Caspian Sea at June 02, 2024 03:38 AM (u/Zei) Personally, I thought that series (with Mark Williams) changed for the worse when the character of 'Lady Felicia' disappeared.

To me, the best of the Blackadder series were those set in the Elizabethan and Regency period. The episode with the running joke about "Macbeth" and the one where Baldrick accidentally burned Samuel Johnson's dictionary (especially the dream sequence) are two of my most favorite from the entire run.

Posted by: RickZ That's a good point - in many ways that character was a throwback to the Edwardian era to the early Thirties when Chesterton was crafting the tales, and provided a sort of anchor for the narrative. I didn't think they did a good job with Flambeau - making him Father Brown's nemesis misses the point of who Flambeau formerly was and whom (with the good Father's help) he eventually became.
