Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - December 11, 2024 [TRex]
Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety.
This is the Wednesday night ONT. Anchors aweigh!One of the most famous Star Wars bits dialogue involved a jedi mind trick:
Sandtrooper: Let me see your identification. Ben Obi Wan Kenobi: [with a small wave of his hand] You dont need to see his identification. Sandtrooper: We dont need to see his identification. Ben Obi Wan Kenobi: These arent the droids youre looking for. Sandtrooper: These arent the droids were looking for. Ben Obi Wan Kenobi: He can go about his business. Sandtrooper: You can go about your business. Ben Obi Wan Kenobi: Move along. Sandtrooper: Move along... move along.
Birdland Park and Gardens in Bourton on the Water, Gloucestershire, said the penguin formerly known as Maggie had a feather sent for DNA testing after keepers noticed the penguin attempting to initiate mating with a male penguin named Frank.Alistair Keen, the head keeper at Birdland:
Discovering that Magnus is actually a male and his gender differs from what we initially believed presents another unique hurdle in our efforts to establish a successful breeding program here in the U.K. It is fascinating, however, to have confirmed what we have long suspected, and we remain committed to supporting these incredible birds in every way possible.Hey Alistair. Quite an operation you have there. Maybe you need to go back and watch the Penguin 101 video again.
From clogged sinks to overflowing toilets, Brown Friday, the day following Thanksgiving, is consistently among the plumbing industrys busiest times of the year. Yelp data revealed that searches for emergency plumbing surged 65 percent during the 2023 Brown Friday time period, when comparing searches from the two weeks before Thanksgiving Day to those on Thanksgiving Day and the two weeks after in 2023. Searches for 24 hour plumbers were higher on Thanksgiving Day than any other day in November 2023.Tops on the list? Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, Sacramento, and Baltimore. The jokes write themselves.
Written correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Are you lurking? Come out and play. The ONT disclaims all penguin misgendering. The ONT is no longer a candidate to coach football at UNC.

>>It’s little-remembered now, but just over two years into his presidency, in September 2011, Obama ordered an “integrated strategic counterterrorism communications initiative”—designed to get agencies including VOA’s parent agency to collaborate in combating terrorism and extremism. The order also created a Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications, bringing representatives of all departments and agencies into counter-terrorism efforts, including DOD, CIA, and significantly, the Broadcasting Board of Governors.

The neat part is that I think the "animation" is still images that were created and then had bits specifically selected and instructed to add movement. It's a moving still image, sort of a partial gif.
It's something any of us could create at home if we wanted to spend a few hundred dollars on a decent video card. Or use online resources that use off-site computers and video cards you rent and send instructions to, I guess.
Fairly impressive animated HD movie making / storytelling is within the grasp of nobodies, and that's a good thing.

I saw the original SW movie in theaters, the next two on VHS, and never looked at them or subsequent SW shows again. I was too old and jaded already to be a fan. Did appreciate the special effects, how they affected shows since. Laughed out loud at the scrolling-away text at the beginning, which set me up to properly appreciate that it was a big-budget version of an episodic 1930s movie serial.

By my calculation, almost 57,000 useless government workers could be fired through an Iowa class battleship's forward guns (6) with full forward powder magazines (130 full charges per gun). The 16-inch, 50 caliber guns have an 800-inch barrel. Assuming an average worker height of 5' 6", and using one powder bag (1/6th of normal charge) per firing per gun (should be adequate to propel 12 bodies per firing).

So, we need to try launching certain women into the air while the drones are present, to see which one they're searching for.

The drones probably belong to vendors trying to get military contracts. That way the military can say, “Those are not our drones.”
We can also be certain that their lack of security concerns means they know what the drones are all about. If they DIDN’T know, they also wouldn’t know there is no security risk.
Lucas Tomlinson @LucasFoxNews 6h
Despite nearly a dozen mysterious drones sightings over New Jersey since last month, Pentagon’s Northern Command says, “we have not been requested to assist with these events.”
Scott Adams @ScottAdamsSays 6h
Okay, assuming our military doesn’t know what is up with the NJ drone visitations, America has no functional air defense.
And the Joint Chiefs should be fired immediately.
It would explain 9/11 and the Chinese Spy balloon.
But I’m still betting on vendors demonstrating their drones as part of a military procurement process.
I assume our military is doing massive “bake offs” to see who makes the best drones domestically. That should be happening now, bigly.
Scott Adams @ScottAdamsSays 5h
Only one reason for that.
The drones are working with our military or intelligence people.
Posted by: andycanuck (hovnC) at December 11, 2024 10:41 PM (hovnC)

Well, no, we don't. There are only a very few places in CONUS that I think would have any sort of active air defense - the White House is about the only one, really.
The drones are large for drones, but not aircraft size - they look to be about the size of professional camera drones, or agricultural. They have as I have noted navigational lights on board.

I was initially right about the gun used in the UHC murder.
Just a semi auto pistol with suppressor, but not set up right.
Everyone kept saying it was a Welrod type pistol, though.
Figured they knew something I didn't.
Little prick was still able to murder the poor guy.
He left behind a wife and two kids.
While I won't claim to agree with everything the insurance companies do or say that the executives are saints, but the bureaucracy people have to deal with is thanks to the government.
I cannot tell you how many times we would have to stop doing something or start doing something that made no sense simply because the Fed Govt. demanded we do so.
As for "all the money they make", they have a 2% profit margin AT BEST.
It is often lower and their control over it is limited.

The drones probably belong to vendors trying to get military contracts. That way the military can say, “Those are not our drones.”
The first day I heard about the drones thing - I came to this conclusion. Why? Because for the past several months or so there has been an increased tempo of news articles talking about drones used successfully in combat and the Drone Gap between the US and the rest of the world.
With the hoped for conclusion to the Ukraine Money Laundering and the avoidance of the Syrian Money Laundering operation, the MIC needs their grift to keep their top heavy bureaucracy in the caviar.

Robert Sterling @RobertMSterling 9h
Brian Thompson went from Jewell, Iowa (population 1,200) to leading 140,000 employees and overseeing $280B of revenue at one of the world’s most important companies. His mom worked as a beautician, his dad at a grain elevator—they were probably really proud when he graduated valedictorian of his 50-person high school class. He played basketball and the trombone, got elected homecoming king, and worked in soybean fields and meat processing plants during summers. While studying at the University of Iowa, he met the woman who would become his wife, with whom he would have two kids. By all accounts, he was smart, hard-working, funny, and a thoroughly decent man.
This guy—not the person who murdered him in cold blood—was everything that’s right and good about America, and the American Dream. May his memory be a blessing, and may his example inspire all of us to do better.

The Biden administration allowed Chinese spy balloons to drift across our country for days including over military installations and didn't do squat until one flew across our country and then shot it down over the ocean.
And they've done absolutely nothing to even try and identify these drones if they are to be believed. I don't believe a word they say.

Yes, this Drone thing is some military test operation. They need to do the tests over some populated area for whatever reason. Imagine it may be some "remote sensing" of some sort, and they want to test it.
Also, probably getting some date on how a local population and local authorities react and all that. The Pentagon's too cute responses confirm this is what's going on.
And finally Trump. Has he had said anything? Some of those things were flying over his property. As incoming president, I'm sure he's been on the phone asking about this, and they told him. So, he's not worried, 'cause he knows what it is.

I now believe the drones are friendlies- definitely US Govt/military stuff.
To me, this would explain why 1) there is complete blanket official denial; 2) no one is going out of their way to investigate; 3) the drones are not stealthy, instead being lit up like commercial aircraft
Conclusion: somebody's up to something

It was a poignant indicator of the desperate straits that the Japanese were in that the Yamato was basically used as a giant kamikaze vessel on its last mission. They didn't even give it enough fuel to make it back to port.

Are the drones actually doing anything remotely dangerous? I don't think so. What they're testing is probably some remote sensing tech of some sort. Something that might be used against an enemy somewhere.
In a real scenario, they might be more stealth, but over our own country's populated areas, they have to be safe, so light 'em up and and all that.

As to morale, well, yeah. The task force commander and his escort commanders vigorously protested the operation order, a high-ranking officer went down to Kure to impress the order face to face.
Ships in the task force put some of their youngest, and oldest, crewmen ashore. Yamato kicked 50 freshly trained cadets off - to save them. And the night before the sortie, they had raging parties on all the ships, ships' stores were thrown open, booze for all. All of this of course unique in IJA history.

What would be interesting is for somebody that knows what they're doing to get some fancy sprectrum analyzers and shit, get under the drone area, and see just what, if anything, those drones are radiating and emitting. What do they seem to be looking for, what possible data are they taking.

I'm getting a kick out of watching Carville's podcasts of late. He's becoming Dana Carvey's Grumpy Old Man character. Sitting there with the shades, the hat, and the headphones crooked on his head. Poor Mary Matalin (although I think she's NeverTrump as anybody).
The last one he was ranting about these 23-yr old snot nosed campaign staffers running Kamala's campaign. "If some 23-yr snot nose told me he was going to resign if I did or didn't do something, I'd fire his ass on the spot, and find out who hired him, and then fire that guy's ass on the spot".
And he told the truth about that Sister Souljah thing. They needed someway to show Clinton was not going along with that. Carville said the way to do that is think up something to say that will piss off the Washington and NYTimes liberal establishment types. Something to get them really wound up.
He said that's what they should've done about Kamala's young male voter problem, said something to really piss off the AWFUL's and rainbow haired types.

The sweet transgender man didn’t do anything but congratulate Mace on her speech and just gently shook her hand. This was confirmed by an unbiased witness who like Mace is involved in transgender issues.

To me, this would explain why 1) there is complete blanket official denial; 2) no one is going out of their way to investigate; 3) the drones are not stealthy, instead being lit up like commercial aircraft
Alternative: they are hostile and Obama’s decided the country that rejected him deserves whatever they’re gonna dish out.

They might be the size of SUVs, or dining room tables. Perhaps settees or chifforobes. Certainly bigger than a nightstand or a dresser.
But are they bigger than two bears at a pickanik table?

The Trans Am used to be a Pontiac Firebird. But ended up with vastly less horsepower, and a screaming chicken on the hood.
You'd scream, too, if you was just gelded down to a Capon. And your entire brand beheaded by Obummer decree.

3.5/100,000 to 6/100,000 - almost doubled but still a very small number, and hardly an explosion.
Those numbers tell me of better reporting rather than a precipitous increase. Also covid and the vaxx.

Flash slipped his collar while out tonight. He misses Jules, she's been in hospitals since 11/8. So I get home from visiting her in Rockford, let the dogs out and start my phone calls first with my brother.
This is serious business, Dad just called and asked if I thought he should go into hospice. We talk and I ignore the dogs barking.
When I go out Flash is gone, slipped the collar I thought I had tightened. After calling him, hobbling around in the dark with my cane and driving around I found him. He was manic crazy, couldn't get him in the car. Then some guy with a backpack walks up, offers some chips to the dog, we have no success.
Backpack has to go, says call the police. Yeah, I'm counting the drinks I had while talking to my brother...nahh, maybe not a smart idea.
Dog has headed south towards home so I drive there. Send out the older dog to bring him home, again tonight, she did this once before in the past. Finally Flash shows up at the front porch and willingly comes in.
So I guess my point in this long post is if you really have a shitty day, someone out there always has it worse.

Despite her poor experience bedding 100 men, Lily is determined to raise the bar by sleeping with 1000 men in 24 hours for her next sexual stunt.
There was some porn starlet in the 90s, Houston something or another, who did the Houston 500. 500 guys in a row. There was a prep line so the men didn't take to long to cum, and her labia had to be iced for swelling at various points.
You know, if your quim needs Nascar-style pitstop maintenance, maybe you're exceeding the design specs. But I'm old-fashioned, I guess.

Oh, and I don't think olive oil is a seed oil. They press the pulp. I use peanut for my Chinese, mostly olive for overall cooking and occassionally unsalted butter. Plus that bacon fat. And toasted sesame oil as a condiment/addition to a sauce or dish, not a cooking oil. That's it, I can't remember any other oils.
