Overnight Open Thread – Kickin’ It Old School [Doof]
Cars
This is almost exactly the vehicle my parents had in the mid-late 70s. 1974 Chevy Nova 4-door. This color blue. No power locks or power windows. Probably didn’t even have power steering. AM radio only. Bench style seats in the front and back. Separate keys for the ignition and doors. Before the days of “all season radials”, my dad used to put snow tires on the car every winter. That’s how I learned at a very young age how to change a tire. Seat belts???
Console televisions
How many of you who grew up in the 70s / 80s had a TV like this? A tube TV built into a solid wood frame which made for a handsome and sturdy piece of furniture. Each of these beauties was about as heavy as a Datsun hatchback. The clever homemaker could make use of the ample space on top to house the family VCR (with blinking clock) as well as showcase family photos and other fashionable dust collectors. When cable TV came along, the channel-selector box could be placed on top of the console too. Then, when the TV itself stopped working, you could buy a new, non-console one and place it right on top!Sports before big money
When I started following football in the late 70s, one of the first guys I remember watching and rooting for was Earl Campbell. Had a replica jersey of his too. He was a beast of a running back. Just a great bruiser of a player from a time before professional athletes made anywhere near the kind of money they make now. A few years ago, I saw a place in the food court in the Austin, Texas airport with Earl Campbell’s name on it. These old school guys probably made more money after their playing careers than during it.
NFL Films Top 100 Players - #55 Earl CampbellBoom boxes
This is the exact boombox that I had back in the day. AM/FM radio and a double cassette deck! AC/DC capability. It had a standard AC cord, but it could also run on five D-sized batteries. Perfect for listening to the radio, playing cassettes, recording from radio to cassette, or recording from cassette to cassette (aka “dubbing” ). My first exposure to bands like Rush, Def Leppard, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden was through this iconic piece of machinery. I still have mix-tape cassettes that I painstakingly curated over hours upon hours. Bet many of you had one like this!Beer can collections
How many of you had one? Is this still a thing? Several of my friends had dads or older brothers with a collection similar to this. Something strangely appealing about a beer can collection to me. Interesting and colorful logos. A slowly developed time capsule. Imagine the collective stories these cans would tell if they could speak of the circumstances around which their contents were consumed. Watching a ballgame. Standing near a grill. Relaxing after a long work day. Of particular not to me in these old collections are the non-tapered cans which had pull-tabs. Ah, pull tabs. Once removed, they turned into curled up razor blades. Some of you probably can still remember the feeling of the cuts they gave. Somewhere between a paper cut and a slice from a steak knife.
Beer can collection valued at $3M Doof Tunes – Retro Edition
Tonight’s ONT brought to you by the things that matter…
That’s all for tonight. Please let me know if you enjoyed this trip back in time. Hopefully I’ll get invited back to drive another ONT!

Seriously that was their argument. Which is factual incorrect - MSG is a chemical as is say table salt. And there are plenty of 100% natural chemicals that are harmful.

We had a Nova - however ours was silver with a red vinyl interior. Not nearly so cool.
My grandparents had that console TV. (We had one too and when my parents replaced it my brother and I got to use it as a puppet stage (I have no idea how they got rid of the TV part).
I just got rid of a large boom box that we had in our living room - realized I didn't play it.
And field day! I just remember the year this girl signed up for the same events as me and beat me at all three. I don't think she did it maliciously. I am just really uncoordinated.

Captain Kirk is a jerk. Yes, Bill Shatner is a stupid asshole and he has very stupid opinions. I know some of you like him. He don't like you.
Shatner was just on Bill Maher's podcast and he's a clueless shithead. Can't understand why malaka harris lost. Can't understand why anyone would vote for Trump, especially since inflation is gone, prices are down, and the economy is great. His words.

Console TV: nope, TV on a rolling TV stand. Black-and-white when I was born, but color by the time I was old enough to remember it. Five knobs: VHF, UHF, volume, "tint," and "hue."
More importantly: the Atari 2600 plugged into it.
Boom Box: oh yeah. Tape dubbing. Recording songs off the radio and hoping the stupid DJ didn't start babbling over the outro, or just cut it short. Tapes mail-ordered from Columbia House or BMG, since there wasn't a record store in Bumf---, MN. Had to drive to Target in Fargo for all the latest Top 40 hits.

Everyone who accused Oprah of getting paid $1,000,000 to support Kamala must immediately retract, issue a correction, and apologize.
The total cost was actually $2,500,000.

Several million Leftists migrated to Bluesky to protest X, and the results were just what one would expect.
After all, the reason why they hated X was that they couldn't censor anybody, so they are making up for it in spades on Bluesky.
One of the major activities on Bluesky is trading block lists (often with thousands of names on one list), so you never have to be exposed to Unapproved Thoughts.
And they are reporting other users to Bluesky for thought crimes, at a rate of fifty complaints per second.
Bluesky said apologetically that they were having to triage the complaints, so they could deal with things like people posting child pornography first.
Bluesky is also automating things - one person showed that if you type in "there are only two genders" into Bluesky, your Bluesky account is automatically blocked within thirty seconds.

First thing you notice is that there’s this big grown man on the field with these skinny high school kids, and he gets the ball and runs towards the end zone, and he bounces the first would be tackler off him, and then the 2nd, and at about the 15 yard line one guy jumps on his back, and then another. They slow him down a bit, but they can’t bring him down, as more guys come. Finally he takes his last step into the end zone and goes down, with 6 guys hanging all over him. It was amazing!

No Novas in the family, but my dad was always a gearhead. The family car was a 2 door Chevelle when I was born. Mom and Dad in front, 3 brothers in the back, and me in my little baby seat on the console between the front seats.
He finally traded it because when I kicked, my little feet could hit the shifter and put it into neutral...at highway speeds.
I always felt guilty being the cause of that, since it was such a kick ass car. But it really was time for a bigger car. The next one was a country squire wagon with the fake wood paneling.

That’s not a lot, though. Let’s do some math:
- bluesky claims 18m accts, millions of which were added since the election
- from that, back of the envelope estimate of 9m DAUs (daily active users)
- they claim 3k reports /hr, at peak. 42k /day at peak
- that’s only 1 report per-214 users per-day. Does that sound right?
I think BlueSky is dramatically overstating its user numbers if they’re only getting 42k reports /day.

Adam Corolla pointed out something that really hit home. He said that when he was young he really was impressed with Robert DeNiro because he was such a good actor, he just knocked it out of the park movie after movie. People respected him, some people thought he was a genius.
...and then DeNiro opened his idiot hold and started swearing at people for disagreeing with him and trotting out his gangster voice, and he revealed himself to be a jackass. Even people who agree with him, do they respect him now? Do they think he's so smart when he pops off like that? It ruined him as an actor, he lost all his cachet.

Oh, not Net Neutrality! Google and Facebook lobbied so hard for it, claiming giant corporations would use the lack of Net Neutrality to silence citizens’ voices.
Then, when they got it, Goole and Facebook, large corporations, silenced citizens’ voices.

My mom stopped, got out of the car to check on me, determined I was 'fine' and told me to go home and tell my father what I did.

The last two were the last American Brand cars my dad ever bought. They were terrible and barely made it to 100k.
A shame, as a kid i thought the Laser was awesome.
He swapped to Hondas, drove the wheels off them, then switched to BMW.

Reporting from just south of the Austin metro area--I saw little enthusiasm for Harris during the campaign. Signs in the usual in town uppity "upper class" areas were predominantly for Harris. In the rural county where we are there are usually an assortment of signs, but this year it was mostly Trump. The Trump flags are still flying.

That was the Plymouth Laser, basically just an Eclipse. Same as the Eagle Talon.
I think Chrysler went with Mitsubishi because they didn’t want to get people’s expectations up by using one of the more reputable Jap manufacturers.
I had an Eclipse when I was 20. One of the later models with wavy door panels. You’d swear it was a domestic for all of the issues it had.

Recent Mazdas seem pretty reliable. Nissan.. good lord.
I had a loaner Nissan shitbox when my truck was being serviced. Tiny little economy thing. Cheapest interior I’ve ever seen in a car. The plastic was so thin and bendy it felt like a Power Wheels car.
Very cramped. I’m average height and weight, but my knees hurt from pressing into the sides of the console and door. Really felt like it was going to break if I closed the door too hard.

I went to a guy's farm not far from Drumheller, AB, to buy a little Diesel genset. He has a very pretty '63 Valiant Signet convertible in one of his shops. Red on red with a white top. And then we took a rid to view some old trucks he has. Over hill and down dale, then down into a little hollow. Rustic cabin (2000 sq ft of it!) on a little spring-fed pond, with a dock. All completely out of sight of any public roads. Last thing I would have expected out there.

Hardly an original thought on my part, but I suspect a lot of ordinary folks who held their tongues for fear of being fired or cancelled? They're losing their timidity. (Doesn't apply to me, because retired.)
In that vein, Trump's transition team sent an email to all AUSAs (Asst U.S. Attys; about 5000 of them in total) last week. It said, in summary:
1) If you disagree with Trump's announced deportation goals & feel you can't comply in enforcing the new policies; OR
2) If you are unwilling to comply with forthcoming new instructions regarding charging decisions and sentence recommendations,
then you should consider resigning.
This was LIBERATING for people who were hired before Obama. Same with Customs and Border Enforcement agents (CPB), and ICE agents.

Fricken nylon gear shift linkage..seriously? First one shredded within the 50K warrantee. Second time was just a bit north on 100k miles. Fortunately it left me in second, so I was able to limp it over to the dealer. Don't recall what that cost. Everyone warned me not to expect more than 100k miles from that power plant, but I retired it at 126k. What did it in ultimately was the salt air of the Jersey shore. Mechanic put his finger through the radiator, and explained that the rest of the block and frame was going that way...

Go for it. Fire all 5000 AUSA line prosecutors who've spent their careers prosecuting drug dealers and fraud schemes, etc.
Your hostility should be directed at Main Justice, where they made POLICY. Most AUSAs had no encounter whatever with liberal lawfare.
Concentrate your political fury on trying to fire 5000 career prosecutors, all of whom enjoy Civil Service protection, and 95% of whom were just trying to prosecute ordinary (albeit major) criminal cases.

B.S. Congress can’t create unfireable employees in the Executive branch. Fire them and make them argue before the courts that the Executive branch is subordinate to Congress.
Then, if courts agree with them, tell the courts to eff off.

Now the answer, of course, is that they just didn't want to put in the effort in having a real conversation with him but I am more interested in the fact the poster discovered solipsism and didn't realize this is an idea that's been around way before the internet, The Matrix, or computers was a thought.

$2 bill is still printed. It’s been continuously printed since ‘76, they’re just not in high demand, and people think they’re rare so they collect them, which makes them rare.

I love 2 dollar bills, I used to collect them. Banks still have some but you have to ask special. I used to tip with them because I thought they were cool.
But they are so rare that some people don't even think they are real, sadly. There's nowhere to put them in the cash register, which is partly why they didn't really ever catch on outside the horse races. Same with dollar coins which I also love and collect.

The $2 in the story was 1953 issue. Maybe a silver certificate? I can see someone wondering if that fancy thing was valid. For many years now, I've carried a $2, as my "if all else is spent" reserve. Realized it might get a double-take if I needed to spend it, but never imagined I might get charged with counterfeiting.

Keep CBP and ICE, but they have to personally deport 10 illegals each month or they lose their dental insurance.
However, if they deport 20 illegals a month, their name is entered into a drawing for some fabulous prizes.
I don’t trust any prosecutor or bureaucrat who has been working in the system for more than four years. This is why I always vote “No” on retentions and incumbent paper pushers. They’re goldbrickers and should earn an honest living once awhile. It’s good for them.

Every other toaster has been dull, and pointless and felt like it was made to be thrown away yearly, ALL TOASTERS SHOULD BE THIS COOL, DAMMIT!

Agreed on old Sunbeam Toasters. Ours is A Sunbeam Type T-20B, it was a wedding present to my folks in Feb 1955. Operates as mentioned above, cloth line is unfrayed, works fine.
As K said newer toasters are crap. ules dropped her parents toaster a few yrs ago, the thing just busted apart in pieces. Our's if dropped won't fall apart, more likely to dent the floor.

>> An investigation into the $2 bill led Fort Bend ISD police to a local convenience store that gave it to Ms. Joseph, ABC reported.
>>Police were then led to a bank where the 1953-issued bill was examined and determined to be real.

Why are they being charged? They are not Americans. They do not have rights.
Send them to the border. One year hard labor digging ditches, building the wall, mending the wall.
Chip them. DNA on file. After one year, shove them across the border. If they are ever caught in America again, death.
If they committed any sex, property or violent crimes in the U.S.? Death. They are not Americans. They do not have rights.
A good deal of the Federal bureaucracy is a fraud perpetuated on taxpayers and you’re not going to convince me otherwise by sputtering “B-b-but who is going to process the illegals through the system and ensure their rights are protected??”

Now the school, and the cops screwed up, big time. They should have gently told the child that that particular two-dollar bill was a potentially valuable collector's item, and she should not be using using it as pocket money.

MANAUS, Brazil - President Biden toured the Amazon on Sunday, the first sitting American president to set foot in the legendary rainforest.
The visit came as the incoming Trump administration seems poised to scale back the U.S. commitment to combating climate change.
The massive Amazon region, which is about the size of Australia, stores huge amounts of the world’s carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that drives climate change when it's released into the atmosphere. But development is rapidly depleting the world's largest tropical rainforest, and rivers are drying up.

Now the school, and the cops screwed up, big time. They should have gently told the child that that particular two-dollar bill was a potentially valuable collector's item, and she should not be using using it as pocket money.

I have wondered about that, is it really a buck tip at a time still in strip clubs? I mean, that's been the standard for like 40 years it can't still be like that can it?

An "ATM" in a bar is not really an ATM, with sophisticated bill dispensing capability. They're more like a vending machine with a credit card reader. Yhey dispense a fixed amount of cash, like 2 $20 bills while charging your debit card $43.
No, it was change back at the bar that came with a lot of $2s. There were a couple of clubs that bar change came back in only 2 denominations, $2s and $20s, with prices set accordingly. Any $1, $5s or $10 coming in went to the office to go into the bank deposit bag.
At the smaller clubs, dayshift with only 2, or 3, or 4 dancers, (unless the girls ot prissy about it) anything on the rack -short of change, that was universally viewed as an insult- was OK, but at the bigger clubs in the evening he bouncer would "suggest" that you vacate the seat at the rack if you weren't tipping sufficiently.

AFAIK, old and out-of-date bills are still worth face value in both Canada and the USA. But bills that are old enough to have a different design, or in a denomination no longer made, like one and two dollar bills in Canada, throw up a red flag if they get used in commerce. As in: "where did you get this? don't you know that bill has been out of circulation for X years? are you that hard up, that you had to break into your piggy bank?"

I haven't been to a club in 5+ years, but even then you would be tipping more than one dollar. Also, dancing on stage was a loss-leader for the dancers. They made the vast majority of their money on table dances and VIP room dances.

Last year some donated a ouple of $2 bills in our donor box. Since then I've gotten several bundles of $2 bills to look for valuable bills.
I'll spend the rest and no one here thinks they are counterfeit. Usual reaction is something like...I save those for my grandson.
So I am actually fighting inflation by keeping some of the "Inflation Reduction Act" Biden money out of circulation. Take that Joe!

A 1953 $2 bill in circulated condition is $2-$6, uncirculated is $12. The pre-1953 bills are where the collectible value goes up. The kid would have got $6 at most for it at a coin dealer.

As a Catholic you get some cognitive dissonance when you hear about turning the other cheek and then reading about something like the Albigensian Crusade, where Christians under orders from Pope Innocent III (perfect name btw) exterminated the Cathars in France. At least 200k were killed stamping out this heresy. This was in the early 13th century.
Christians don’t have to be total pussies who want open borders, and who pray for the souls of men who kill their family members, which you see on here from time to time.

The Dominicans were in charge of stamping out Catharism. The Jesuits were in charge of stamping out Protestantism. When’s the last time you met a Cathar?

Auger is centered. Bearing is fine. Mount is secure... I need a different brand of pellets. This batch/brand has too many extra-long ones & they jam the feed, which burns up the little motors.
Dropping the bags (like you would, to bust up bags of ice) isn't enough, and I don't have time to hand-sort all of it, ugh.
Thanks for listening, I feel better now... sort of.

Can be ordered online. Might be worth a try.
NOTE: Don't have a pellet grill. I use LJ pellets for cold smoking. I chose them because I saw a review which gave it top marks for pellet grills. One of the main points was that there are no additives often associated with gunking up the auger.
Posted by: Biden's Dog sniffs a whole lotta malarkey, at November 18, 2024 02:35 AM (js3aQ)
Now, they cost the same as other brands. Time to go back to the former favorite!
Oh, btw: pellet prices have doubled since FJB was installed. Just like everything else.
