Overnight Open Thread - 11/10/2024
[Roger Ball]
Do not be alarmed, Oh Great HORDE, this NOT the Gardening Thread. The banner is offered in the spirit of never giving in. After being attacked by a well-meaning but misguided weed whacker, the watermelon vine refuses to give in.
No,wait…maybe giving in is an idea that has become a good thing. Remember this? Tractor Supply Recognized for Diversity and Inclusion in the WorkplaceTractor Supply Company(NASDAQ: TSCO), the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States, announced today it has been recognized by two separate entities as a diverse and inclusive workplace. For the second consecutive year, the Company exceeded the threshold for inclusion on the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index, while Newsweek featured Tractor Supply on its inaugural list of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity.Well? Apparently and thankfully, this is what “giving in” looks like now: Rural retailer Tractor Supply eliminates DEI roles, Pride support and carbon emissions goals
The retailer said in a Thursday release that it will no longer submit data to the Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ advocacy group. The company will also stop sponsoring Pride festivals and voting campaigns, the release said. The company previously earned a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2022 Best Places to Work Corporate Equality Index.I went to my local TS to get a propane tank filled. $3.00/gallon and immediate friendly service. (Full disclosure: I’m a pasty white guy.) Plus, set up in front of the store was a display to help homeless veterans.
I talked to an Army vet for a bit then decided to go into the store and look around. I know I don’t have to tell the HORDE about TS, but I had not been in one for a long time. Candy store is a good analogy. I made a point to ask the employees (“workers” for our demokkkrat readers.) how they liked working for the company. They all seemed to genuinely enjoy working for TS. For the aviation geeks among us, I just read an update about the Electra EL-2 Goldfinch hybrid-electric aircraft program. I’m a biased old codger so I immediately discount tales of “sustainable electric airplanes” along with unicorns. (Although, I’m still open to discussing unicorns.) But this one is unique, being a hybrid. The turbogenerator is being built by SAFRAN, which has a long history of building helicopter turbine engines.
Electra’s nine-passenger design has garnered contracts from the Air Force, Army, and Navy, which view it as a potential game-changer for military resupply missions, tactical insertions, and medical evacuations. The firm is also backed by Lockheed Martin… “Its hybrid-electric propulsion system provides extended range and endurance, making it suitable for Agile Combat Employment missions in austere locations with compromised or nonexistent runways.”At least one feature stands out to me as increasing the design’s potential for success. It’s hybrid so it’s still an oil burner. If there is JP8/JET fuel available, the thing should be able to fly. It also uses lithium-ion batteries so, I guess as long as they don’t set themselves on fire, they will provide enough battery power to get to safety if the fuel is gone or the turbogenerator breaks. I wonder about Li-ion battery fire suppression… From the “Your Tax Dollars at Work” files, the FAA should contract out their recruiting services to the DoD. Eh? FAA Exceeds FY ’24 Controller Hiring Target
Earlier this week, the FAA announced it has exceeded its hiring goal for air traffic controllers for fiscal year 2024 (ending Sept. 30). A total of 1,811 new hires have signed on, eleven more than the target figure of 1,800. The agency said in a statement that the figure was the highest in nearly 10 years and represents “important progress” toward stemming a decades-long decline in ATC staffing numbers.
Notice anything? Apparently, unlike at Harvard, Asians are okay again.
“Because diversity is so critical, FAA actively supports and engages in a variety of associations, programs, coalitions and initiatives to support and accommodate employees from diverse communities and backgrounds. Our people are our strength, and we take great care in investing in and valuing them as such.”I don’t see any blind, psychotic, dwarf amputees in the picture so I sense a big class action lawsuit soon. [SSI-Satire Sidebar Interlude] With the emphasis on Asian persuasion, the Harris/Dr Jill Junta continues the policy of ensuring CCP representation across government agencies and administrations. Her team will be officially installed as the TFTTT (Temporary Fundamental Transformation Transition Team) in January 2025 and will remain the sole source of governance until such time as the CCP can establish a permanent colonial ruling structure. What do ya think, HORDE? Too much? Now here’s a realtor with a sense of humor:
She pulled the ad and she works the Midland-Odessa area so I don’t know how many commies would actually be living there. But I will salute her for creativity. Hat tip to WeirdDave, reposting for emphasis…

Hey, I'll volunteer to do an ONT. My qualifications: I have HTML skills, and I know how not to blow the margins with pix and video embeds. I usually close tags. I have my own dental plan (no teeth). I'm fluent in American, Moron, and Okie. I know how to wield an Oxford comma and am skilled at employing the semi-colon. I am punctual and reliable unless I'm taking a nap. As for content, I have no special area of interest or expertise to recommend me, nor have a sense of humor, and my taste in music could, generously, be called eclectic. I will institute a new feature, the Mannix babe of the week. I promise not to post more than one Yoko Ono video per ONT, and I won't put more than two of my own webworks in any post. This offer of service to AoS is contingent upon approval by MiladyJo. With whom I have not discussed this.

The pic of Tractor Supply is the widest thing here, so it's probably what's widening us. A CoB might have to set the ' width="632" height="530" ' to smaller numbers.

There were a bunch of "get government out of healthcare" and "how dare the government tell us what to do with our bodies!" posts but even on these left leaning forums there was almost always something asking how they could be such hypocrites after the clot shot mandates (!).

And weird anecdote I ran across in his A Parliament of Women he has women taking power in Athens and in doing so taking on the looks of men - wearing fake beards and getting tans, and more interesting - not shaving their armpits.
I had read that the introduction of armpit shaving came with the popularity of sleeveless dresses in the early 1900s but...I guess as usual that was way too much of "we smart moderns do this, our ancestors where are brutish hair covered beasts"

I was just pointing out to my wife that a vendor I've used at work notified me to research its competitors with a bizarre ad they keep serving me on different websites, even though I'm already a long time subscriber.
I don't know if I should even call it an ad... It's just a photo of an angry, sneering lesbian with a nose ring, and the name of the company in the corner by her exceedingly unpleasant face.

The Year When Stardust Fell by Raymond Jones was about all the internal combustion motors being destroyed by the Earth being brushed by a comet tail, and one of the horror elements was spotty reports from a cruise ship that was adrift in the Atlantic that had a working radio with the survivors pleading for rescue as the passengers and crew turned into cannibalistic mobs when the food ran out.
Turned me right off of cruises.

Hound Group 2 for Diana at today's Cypress Creek KC show, her first group placement at 2 years and 4 months. Her mother, the illustrious Delilah, was 3 years and 2 months old before winning her first.
The show was held at a small rodeo arena on dirt. It was like the Sands of Iwo Jima without, of course, the mortars and machine gun fire. Despite getting covered in and inhaling several pounds of dust into which livestock have been urinating and defecating for time immemorial, I rather liked the small-town feel, with advertising for feed stores, icehouses, Mexican restaurants and insurance agents.

Where did you see anything about *purchases*? Only thing I saw was intertube searches on a term went up.
Also, some morons on a earlier thread were discussing federal statutes related to conspiracy to commit murder.

Brother's in-laws lived across Southern Blvd (a two lane road), right across from the Southern RR tracks and the fence to NAS Oceana. When carriers came in, planes would do touch-and-gos all the time, roaring right over their house.
The house eventually had to be torn down due to cracks in the foundation from the jets.

I'm sure they're asking for donations but I don't think it's for a recount. They are $200 Million in debt after raising over a billion. Besides, I don't think Pelosi, Schumer, Obama, Biden, et.al., want a forensic analysis of 2024 and the 'missing' voters. They aren't missing, they never existed. That's how they stole 2020 and those cast of criminals I listed all knew and were a part of it. No, they don't want any recounts. This cash plea is to cover campaign debt.

It's sad to think that if any of those beautiful young women are still alive, they are probably beaten-down and hardship worn old women, shuffling around wearing a trash bag and trying to stay as invisible as they can for their own safety. It's incredibly sad.
If the Iranians ever get their shit together and undo the revolution, they should give the ayatollahs to those old women for final disposition. The primal, tortured screams for Allah's mercy would echo through the streets for many, many days.

Not only that I keep saying that he pinned her down during the debate on protecting 8 and 9 month olds in the womb which was extremely shrewd, and ended up showing her demonic ways for what they really are. She had a chance to do it but there is too much money in her party in the sale of baby parts and Trump knows it.
Whether that was part of the shift or maybe it was just a visceral feeling they got from her, we will never know because the media will never be honest about it and the polls will continue to lie and people on our side will keep panicking or fake panicking over pro-life views upsetting the Karens.
I am telling you that there is one thing that upsets normal women more than pro-life views and that is the demented refusal of a woman to protect fully grown babies. How Democrats continue to get away with being the heroes on this issue, only God knows.

I guess I was slightly off, CA prop 7 apparently only allowed the legislature to make a change and didn't change state law itself. And our elected retards are split between permanent standard time and permanent DST and therefore accomplishing nothing.
If it had just made CA switch to standard time it would've been over and done with since that's allowed under the act. All of the permanent DST shenanigans would require the act to be amended.

For anyone in the press trying to imply I'm on your "team," I do not care about political teams. I'm merely in favor of each individual freely living a life however they want, without impairing any other individual from freely living their own life.
And that means no more Woke Oppression, with threats of destroying people's lives professionally and societally because they do not want to think like you. No more trying to control what other people think and feel. No more deciding someone is a heinous person just because they want to discus alternatives to a woke position.
It's over.
And I am fascinated that this far down the road in the "Creator Economy," with all the ring lights, tripods, and editing equipment available, that people don't have better production values in their online videos.

A lot of people have forgotten that we went to permanent DST in the early '70s under Tricky Dick, as part of some energy savings nonsense due to the energy crisis.
A majority of the population was for it. Then came winter and around the solstice sunrise came very late relative to the clock time in the western most reaches of some time zones. Support cratered and it was repealed. Didn't last a year.
I expect the same thing would happen again.
The Michigan upper peninsula is about the worst (Alaska is pretty bad too, the whole state, should be one time zone to the west). In some places there, sunrise would be about 9:40AM at latest sunrise time.

They frame it in terms of medical emergencies, and everyone let's them get away with it.
There is not a hospital in this world, including Catholic ones, who would choose the unborn baby over the mother in a life or death emergency. None.
Nor do they look at a pregnant women and decide, hey, ya know what, this would be a great time to perform an abortion! Let's take this woman who's heart is barely beating, or is hemorrhaging profusely, or who's blood pressure is plummeting, and let's take time to prep her for surgery, then start vigorously scraping one of her internal organs, using up precious minutes because it takes time to carve an 8 month old fetus up into small pieces, all while making her bleed even more profusely .

Protesters gather at Massachusetts State House in support of Donald Trump's plan to deport illegal immigrants
Ted Wayman
Reporter
BOSTON —
A group of protesters gathered in front of the Massachusetts State House on Sunday in support of President-elect Donald Trump's plan to deport illegal immigrants.
The protest was also organized to criticize Gov. Maura Healey following a comment she made last week when she said the Massachusetts State Police would not be used to assist the Trump administration in deporting illegal immigrants.
Protesters said they also came in celebration of Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election, as well as the high number of votes he received in Massachusetts, a blue state.
Trump's plans to stop illegal immigration are one of the primary reasons protesters said they voted for the former president in this election.
"We want the border closed," a protester shouted through a megaphone...

Michigan was on Central time until 1931, I see. It was Detroit that wanted to be on Eastern, and the city itself went on Eastern as early as 1915.

I wonder if Trump used that clip from the debate in commercials. He should have. They probably copyrighted it so he couldn't. Watch it again. Incredibly hateful and sick and yet 100% representative of that detritus party.
I remember watching him choose to engage her (he likes win-wins) and thinking for a second OMG what is he doing of course she will say she's going to protect 8 and 9 month olds. And she didn't. And I thought fuck yeah. Then my heart sank.

They still do, sort of in many places. Big Retail, Big Leisure, Big Golf like DST because it gives more light after quitting time to do business.
In Winter, Big box stores around here have 6AM - 9PM hours. Come summer (not after the DST change in March, but went the days start to get longer), they'll move to 6AM - 10PM, or even 10:30PM.
Relative to Standard time, they're just opening an hour earlier, and closing about the same time as they do in winter. They are roughly following the sun.

I joked about this yesterday... the under 30s looked at the over 40s blue haired single cat ladies screeching the loudest about abortion and handmaid's tale, and were like "Oh HELL no, that's not gonna be my future!"
That, or they actually want to surround themselves with prosperity in their 20s instead of living in a cardboard box just to afford food.

But seriously, I loved the Trump dance being a meme. There was so much chill positive energy leading up to election day. People want to align with that, not false joy.
Chiefs QB Mahones' mom and his wife both voted Trump. He's too savvy to alienate fans, so he claimed neutrality. But I bet he totes voted Trump.

I didn't pay attention, because I couldn't bear to watch the coverage, but she was absolutely wearing solid bright blue. Not navy, but very close o the blue they use on the political maps.

And, I'm remembering, some of them will actually open up even earlier than 6AM during the heat of summer. Days are long, and with the heat of the afternoon, a lot of the crews like to get out early and knock off early. Lowe's here in Simpsonville has opened at 5AM to take advantage of some of that business.

That 30 minute idea would work, be a classic compromise type of thing.
Of course, you'd have the 30 minutes off Zulu thing, and not a round hour to worry about.

Back in the old days, before railroads (and telegraphs) time was an entirely local thing. You set your clock/watch to noon when the sun was overhead and that was that (if you knew the Equation of Time you could correct to local mean time, but that was too important for the average person. (Damned important for navigators and astronomers, though).
You couldn't travel fast enough or even communicate fast enough for it to make any difference.
Then the railroads came, and they were accidents due to clocks not being synchronized. I remember reading about one where 14 people were killed when one train slammed into the back of another. Their clocks were off, being synced to different local times and neither thought the other was anywhere near.
That was just tragically stupid, and they realized how important clock synchronization was. "Railroad time" was born. That evolved.

"California, a longtime Democratic stronghold saw a notable shift towards the right in Tuesday's election with even the state’s bluest county, San Francisco County, far from immune to the trend. The city registered a 7-point swing in favor of Donald Trump compared to the 2020 election - possibly as part of a broader political realignment within the state."
Most of that was Asians and people without college education. (Finally tired of feeling unsafe? The happiness of the asian ladies with MAGA hats in the article was lovey!)

And in the US (the notion of standard, synchronized clocks was done in England a bit before we did it here, and there was coordination, with GMT being the prime meridian).
And this was done without federal law at all. The states all just did it on their own, with the railroads pushing it (such was the economic power of the railroads). It was codified into federal law years later, but that just rubber stampled what the states had already done.

I wouldn't take too much out of it or read too much in. DJT is promising to bring everyone together. Obviously you can't make friends with murdering thugs but it wouldn't be a great look if EVERYONE was Team Red, or in All Nazi red and black.
Is she really some kind of big secret leftard after watching them try to jail and almost kill her dad and ruin her and her businesses? I doubt it. She always struck me as intelligent and you'd have to be pretty dumb to miss all that.

Nov 18th, 1883 was the date when the time zone system went into effect in the US. It was known as the Day with Two Noons.
NYC is about 1 degree east of 75W, so it was east of EST. The synching of all clocks was mandated to happen at noon (per standard time). So NYC had two noons that day.
If you were west of the central meridian, your clock just jumped foward, but east, clocks jumped backward.

I am an American in my 40s. My parents are from the jungles and hills of Laos. They relocated to the US after the Vietnam war. As a kid my parents, aunts and uncles would tell us stories of serpent humanoids disguised as humans (mostly as women) dressed in fancy gold dresses to lure men who are away from home and bring them to their underwater caverns.

The "Big Tent" aspects makes a lot of sense.
She is very smart, great business instincts like her dad, and didn't she and Jared have fairly prominent, though unofficial, roles in his previous administration?
I've been very impressed with all of Trump's children.

I'm a Marine, in QuangNam Provence Vietnam i had several strange encounters, very strange encounters. I was in the valley of dragons, we were led there by our Cótu sure-foot scout. First cave we come across Pvt. Gutierrez has the honors, a few seconds into the cave he starts unloading his M16 but semi-auto rapid fire. He comes out gasping about the fxxxing dragon, and there was a 16' stocky beaded lizard build lizard, very dead, Gutierrez killed it. We went into the valley a bit farther,,,but we turned around to make it out before dark. It was weird though, you could tell there were other lizards out there looking, maybe stalking us.😊 Our little sure-foot scout smiled when we returned to the pass, he just smiled that big ol i told ya so smile with his black bettlenut stained teeth, we all kind of chuckled, except Pvt Gutierrez, he just "main giant ass man eating lizard" and wondering if he would get a purple heart if he gets eaten by something, like a big fing lizard,,,

This morning's Disturbing Dream: I was driving the gray Park Avenue home from work in the dark, when a pothole appeared before me. This was not just a pothole, but a crater stretching from one sidewalk to the other, and it proved deep. The PA and I toppled in -- but landed on all four tires. The crater was too deep to drive out of. Somehow it became enclosed by someone's garage, with a clear garage door, and I had to wait until the owner and his family showed up to open the garage door. I was starting to drive out, resolving to find a new route home tomorrow, when I woke up.

I wish more stores here would open at 6 or even 7. By 9 am this hellish area is an oven between April and November, and getting your errands done early and retreating to the A/C is basic survival. If Walmart would open at 6 like they used to (and have at least one checkout line staffed), and if Aldi would follow suit at 7, I'd be set.

Very well! I was afraid before the election that I was stuck in my silly job, but now I feel confident there's another vine to grab. The company I work for is a manufacturer/importer and it will probably be affected by Trump's tariffs (please God) AND the 15% ceiling on corporate income taxes (please please God). Mathematically interesting times we live in, nein?

Shot in the dark and also could always apply to almost anyone.... however all I wonder upon reading is if you have been particularly thinking about or missing someone who has passed on. The clear garage door is what has me, almost like a view to the "other side".

Yes! If DJT manages to cut or eliminate SS taxes, that will be a huge thing for me -- I'm receiving it now even though I'm still slogging to work every day, and 85% of it being taxable is annoying. If none of it is in '25, and I retire soon, only my pension will be taxable, and that's much smaller. Plus, of course, anything I earn working part-time or online.
