Monday Overnight Open Thread - February 3, 2025 [Doof]
Howdy Hordelings, and a good Monday evening to you all! You have many choices when it comes to your late night hangout. We appreciate you making the wise decision of stopping by tonight's ONT!
Making Playgrounds Great Again - In The Netherlands
Dutch Bring Back Risky Play–Parks Where Kids Climb, Sword-fight with Sticks and Build with Hammers
Parts of Dutch society are campaigning to bring risky playgrounds back into their cities and towns as concerns about too much time spent indoors, helicopter parenting, and childhood diabetes risk grow. Some are merely advocating playgrounds with potentially dangerous toys, such as a merry-go-round, but others are seeking places for their children to start fires, build with hammers, and play flight with sticks. No one wants their children to be injured of course, but the policy proposal from the D66 liberal democrats, which currently holds 7 seats in parliament, acknowledges that without spaces to explore and challenge themselves in, kids risk losing the opportunity to develop crucial skills. “Rufty-tufty playing means that children might get a bump or a cut,” according to the policy—but it’s an acceptable risk the authors determine. “The inspiration, and it really is a huge problem, is that children are hardly moving,” said Rob Hofland, head of the local D66 to the Guardian. “All kinds of problems stem from just sitting behind a screen.” *** In Amsterdam, some parents and organizations are taking this principle to the extreme: in the form of Woeste Westen, or “Wild West.” In this radical play space, kids can go fishing, climb trees, build huts, start and cook with open fires, and play with real tools like hammers and knives—all in the name of helping them develop the mental-physical coordination that an adult relies upon to navigate potentially dangerous situations. Woeste Westen highlights how every time a parent says “watch out!” or “don’t do that!” the child loses one more instance where they may have better prepared themselves for adulthood. Of course there will be scrapes, bruises, a scar or two, but who said a painless life is preferable?
The ONT endorses this wholeheartedly!

DJ Doof – Sad Anniversary Version The Day The Music Died
On Feb. 3, 1959, young rock ’n’ roll stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson died in a small plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa. The early morning crash was immortalized as “the day the music died,” but in truth air travel during the winter of 1959 was a challenge, and the crash was just one of several during the first few days of February.
Tonight’s ONT brought to you by that one guy.

As for the dude in the shorts, that could be my son. He never wore long pants when he was in high school, even when it was cold and snowing.
Now, he always wears slacks (never jeans) and stylish button shirts. Funny how things change.

Some Czech game company made a game about Medieval Bohemia. It did well so they made a sequel. The publisher decided it was too white though so they made them add non-European characters.
And anyone that thinks that this is not reflective of medieval Bohemia is...are you ready for this...a white supremacist. See historians have said so and to disagree with them is racist.

So I put the rings on one side of the yard and ran to the other.
My grandmother's cat though saw the rings and decided it looked like a great place to sit. Just as I tossed the first jart she ran out and flopped down right in the center of the ring I was aiming for.
I dropped to one knee and prayed about as hard as I could to not hit the cat...and it landed about 2 inches from her. She took off, unscathed fortunately.

This is why I hate most modern historians as they really aren't. They have opinion, not source document rigor.
I really appreciate more and more some of my History 'textbooks' from college, as they were required reading but were not dry history books. My fav is Page Smith, "A New Age Begins." Historian Smith uses the diary of a Pvt. Plum Martin, from CT, to tell the tale of America's founding, that new age; Martin survived and ended the war as a sgt. Smith weaves his diary into the larger picture of American Independence, a well-written and enjoyable read. Highly recommend.

Most Army schools have a course for Foreign students.
Engineers, Infantry, Artillery, etc.
I had a couple of Islamic students in one of my classes and then, for the first time, an Israeli. They actually got on very well but every so often, they'd get a bit snotty with each other. The Israeli would make a pistol with his fingers and pretend to shoot. The muzzies would hold up their ink pens and click them. Then everyone would laugh.

I don't recall knowing about Buddy Holly until after his demise. I was… not yet 29 then.
Also not enough of a Star Wars fan to be able to say anything about spud-head, except that I recognize it was that spud-head from some Star Wars movie. Like a lot of Star Warsy things, knowledge about it was absorbed from the culture by osmosis, even if you didn't see the movies.

Heck, most all of my peer group had a real gun (generally a .22 or a .410 shotgun) by the time we were 11 or 12.
We were allowed to borrow the adult guns and go off for the day unsupervised as well. Most parents did require that we buy our own ammo and not use up theirs.

Radio City's a great venue, beautiful with great accoustics. Small enough to be intimate. Also saw Ella Fitzgerald and The Gipsy Kings there.
And back around '83 saw a 'recently found' 1927 silent triptych movie, 'Napoleon' (by Abel Gance), with a full orchestra. That was pretty cool.

It was "unseasonably warm" for most of January, and I had an appointment on the 31st. The day before it had been in the 50s, that day it was in the high 40s, so I walked into the clinic in a shortsleeved shirt. This clinic mainly serves a population that is, shall we say, from much further south than Iowa. They were all wearing winter coats, I was commenting how nice and warm it was. I got a few strange looks.

Heck, most all of my peer group had a real gun (generally a .22 or a .410 shotgun) by the time we were 11 or 12.
We were allowed to borrow the adult guns and go off for the day unsupervised as well. Most parents did require that we buy our own ammo and not use up theirs.

I remember watching Night of the Lepus in the early 70s. It was a CBS made for TV movie I think. CBS ran a movie M-F for a number of years at 11:30 Eastern. Some Hollywood movies with big stars, some crazy stuff like Night of the Lepus. A cheap way for CBS to try to compete with Johnny Carson.

That song was born from just a riff the piano player would play during sound check. Al Stewart was opening for Linda Rhondstat (I think) and she heard the opening riff numerous times before asking if it was a song. So Al Stewart convinced the piano player to come up with more.

Even now, decades later, the central plot element still shocks. It's one of the few horror-themed bits of programming that I'd warn people to think twice before viewing.
On a brighter note, Shatner said that after that episode of The Twilight Zone, every time he and his daughters were on a flight, they would beg him to look out the window and do the same face he did when he first saw the gremlin on the wing.

I never looked at those bugs the same after that. Actually, Chlordane was still available at the time. If I saw just one of those things anywhere near the house foundation, or in the basement I would nuke everything with chlordane. I guess my father didn't give a shit that his young kid was on a rampage with a bug sprayer. Saved him the trouble. Wouldn't see shit for years after that. One when popped up again, there I went.

USAID funding data is designed to obfuscate the money flow -- it's clearly money laundering. But here is one piece of that puzzle, the money flow to Read Admiral Bill Kristol's little "charity" organization:

The one thing, the only thing I miss about my old house, was the lake in the back when it snowed. When all the leaves were gone it was like the trees parted and I had a view of the perfect winter wonder land with the frozen lake and the snow. Of course once summer came the trees closed back up, the bugs came, the view went away, the jungle took over, and it ..became..hell.

I'd be interested to know what the sales data is for this in plain English. (The online description is hard to understand, referring to "album units," which includes "streams.")
I'd also like to know who actually bought it, her traditional fan base, country fans, or both.

The woods got loud in the summer. There was about 50ft of woods between the yard and the lake, and I don't know wtf was living in it during the summer but it was loud. Some said it was frogs, or crickets, or who knows, but it was a symphony of insect doom. Jersey woods are not like normal woods, well not around water anyway. You couldn't walk through them, it was like one giant dense tumble weed of sticker bushes and other shit. Even though there were tall trees there was the underbrush of doom. In the winter it would vanish.

Maybe Rodrigo is planning a trip to the lower 48 this summer. It's nice to have *dark* at night, while it's still warm outside.

Jim Bruer has a great story about Norm Macdonald and a parody of that episode when Pamela Anderson hosted the show:

Just stop and think about this for a minute. It's taking 12 hours of 48 CPUs (which I assume are the latest, greatest, and fastest) operating in parallel on the problem to unwind the USAID's funding network.
That's how complex it is. And it was designed as such. Hell, I doubt they even bother to obfuscate the black projects at Area 51 this much.

I moved about 6 miles up the road and its like a different country. Its dead quiet here at night, almost spooky quiet. There is no wildlife. Yeah we got birds, an occasional deer, and maybe one squirrel. My old house had turkey, shit tons of squirrels, chip monks, rabbits, ducks. Maybe the water source was key, because there ain't shit here.

I have been thinking about it. It almost seems that when the final picture is clear its going to be like pulling the lid off the most diabolical thing in the universe and will answer with total clarity why the country has been going to shit for 60 years.

It just hit me earlier today. We've noticed how all these leftwing lunatics, protestors, and even illegal alien caravan people seem to have nice clothes, cell phones, etc. And you wonder, where did they get the money for all this shit.
USAID is where. The whole thing is a massive money laundering operation to get US taxpayer dollars into the coffers of these subversives and grifters.

Don't overlook the UN.
This Migrant Crisis has been planned and executed with much help from the UN and our State Department, too.

DataRepublican, in some sort of aside I didn't really understand (she's working on USAID now), found a grant from HHS to some NGO in Africa that was about processing "refugees" to come into the US. They were rounding up people in country to send here.

I'd love to see roads open up more, stores be less crowded, etc., because the illegals have been rounded up or are self-deporting. A dream come true.
