Saturday Night "Club ONT" March 15, 2025 [The 3 D's]

club-whiskey-bar.jpg

Welcome to the grand reopening of Club ONT! A collaboration of your Sunday through Wednesday ONT Crew - The Disco, The Doggo, and The Dino. Doesn't the place look real purty after its deep cleaning and fumigation that was done while Mis Hum shut us down temporarily last week?

Keep in mind -- Wearing a cape doesn’t make you a superhero, but if paired with Aqua Net and a fake I.D., you’ll get the password and immediate entry.

This --- is Club ONT!

Saturday Night Joke

Two rocket technicians at Cape Canaveral were fixing a fuel leak on an experimental rocket. One of them accidently caught a drop on his lip and swallowed it. It was excellent – sort of like an expensive cognac. He and his buddy spent the rest of the afternoon catching the drips and enjoying them.

The next morning the first guy woke up with the mother of all hangovers. Soon the phone rang, and it was his friend from work.

“How are you feeling?” asked the friend.

“Awful.” moaned the technician. “I have a splitting headache; my eyeballs are scratchy; I have this putrid taste in my mouth; and I am somewhat nauseous.”

“Have you had an urge to fart?” the work friend asked.

“No… not yet, anyway,” replied the technician.

“Well, don’t!” his friend said. “I’m calling from Albuquerque.”

*****

Farts you say? Weird Dave had a video like this on a recent ONT. His featured various characters like SpongeBob and Pikachu. This one has a single victim.

Club endorsed Jolly 'Ette, leggings.

If we allow this, then what's next - "Normal Dave" on Thursdays and Fridays at AOSHQ? Never!

*****

Top tip - do NOT attempt to enter Club ONT with a live turtle in your pants.

TSA finds live turtle in traveler's pants at New Jersey airport

"I believe this is the first time we have come across someone who was concealing a live animal down the front of his pants," Thomas Carter, the TSA's federal security director for New Jersey, said in the news release. "As best as we could tell, the turtle was not harmed by the man's actions."

Tonight's ONT brought to you by life lessons.

Club ONT no longer offers open seating. Reservations are now required. If you have complaints, please wait until your group is called. Faster service is available for Platinum Club ONT VIP members. Emotional baggage definitely costs extra. No turtles were harmed in the construction of Club ONT.

48 From last thread, about Ivan’s Oprichnina:

“But it was absolutely necessary. It was the only way to break the back of the treacherous boyar aristocracy once and for good. Without it, there would be no Russian nation, and if it had somehow survived, those boyars would have ploughed it under for good, and been displaced in turn by foreigners, anyway.

I strongly disagree. Contrast medieval Russia to England - biggest difference? In England castles were everywhere, because the Nobility was wealthy and strong. The English Kings *never* gained absolute supremacy over them - and the Church was also fairly independent, as was the growing middle class. Because of these competing power centers, the only practical way to govern the country was to develop a parliamentary system which allowed them all to exercise some power and negotiate with each other.
The great tragedy of Russia is that the monarch was able to strangle that process in the crib and institute Despotism forever.

The Crew-10 Dragon will soon be docking with the ISS to relieve Smelly Chick.

If you're interested in watching some of that, it's on NASA+, and probably some other places. The closing and docking maneuver is a slow process, like watching paint dry. Docking is supposed to happen around midnight, and the then they open the hatches well an hour after that.

86 34 Elon's spaceship will dock with the ISS to bring those stranded foo's home who were stranded by biden and kalama harris for political spite.

Spoiler below - scroll bigly if you don't want the info -











The two stranded Starliner astronauts will return to Earth in the Dragon that's been docked to ISS since Sept or Oct (can't recall exactly). Not in the one about to dock. The one there now only carried-up two new crew not the usual four, so there would be two open seats on return for Sunni and Butch. ISS crew typically return on the Dragon or Soyuz that brought them up. Because each one is certified to be docked for only a bit more than six months, the standard ISS crew duty period.

Good find. Now the real question is how hard would it be to get one in time for Corsicana?

Per Grok:
An operable FV101 Scorpion typically ranges from $30,000 to $60,000, depending on condition, provenance, and extras. At the lower end—say, $30,000 to $40,000—you might get one that’s drivable but needs work, like engine tuning or track repairs. A well-maintained, fully restored Scorpion with a good history (e.g., ex-British Army, Gulf War vet) can creep up to $50,000 or $60,000.

Dragon docking at NASA+:
https://tinyurl.com/2bn5coa7

Dragon uses what they dub a "R-bar" proximity closing maneuver. The Dragon comes in from "below", in between the station and earth) the station and then slowly "climbs" up, making itty bitty thrusting pulses.

Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at March 15, 2025 11:13 PM (w6EFb)


R-bar is shorthand for Radius Vector.

The other standard docking approach in Earth orbit is the V-bar approach. This situates the two vehicles in the same orbital path. Normally the docking vehicle approaches from 'in front' of the target vehicle, along it's positive velocity vector. That way it can let the passive target vehicle sort-of 'catch-up' to it rather than using more fuel by 'chasing' the target vehicle.

Rendezvous and docking Orbital mechanics is not intuitive. Until you've had lots of study and if an astronaut, also lots of training.

The other one is Z-bar, you're coming in from the "side", normal to the target's orbital plane (the chaser is in a very slightly different orbital inclination, and then comes in normal to the target's orbital plane).

431 Insects 'breathe' purely by diffusion. The max size is dependent on the oxygen concentration. When we had giant insects the atmospheric oxygen may have been as high as 35%.
By the way wet grass burns in 35% oxygen and that may have happened when we got hit by that comet/meteor that did in the dinosaurs.

For me, Foghat's 'Energized' album is primo stuff. 'Honey Hush' is a particular favorite.

I will say, I hate 'Slow Ride'. Have ever since I first heard it. To me, the band was going for the money, and good for them, bad for me (very much like REO Speedwagon). I'm thankful I saw Foghat (open for Mountain) years before 'Slow Ride'.

437 I'm up late. One of the smoke detectors is chirping once per minute and I don't know how to make it stop. It's got a low backup battery. Detectors are hardwired but have the backup battery. We had power outage this morning so battery was in use. Why the fuck it waited until 12:30 am to get mouthy I shall never know. But it wants its battery changed and I can't do it. So its gonna wait until Hubbymayhem wakes up and gets pissed off about it.

Anyhoo... I missed the hobby thread again. I wish I hadn't. My sister in law is a quilter and she is terrific at it. I've made a few baby quilts but I am currently working on my first large one. I'm using vintage linen calendars for "blocks". Hubbymayhem and I have spent hours of the last two days getting those squared up and cut to size. It's going on a queen size bed so it's a major project. Fingers crossed that I don't fuck it up.

There’s also the problem of “intelligent life”. What do you need to be intelligent? A big, juicy brain, which craves a steady supply of energy (glucose) and oxygen. How big of a brain can you support with diffusion? Probably not very big.

According to the owners manual, one should kill power to the device before trying to change the battery. I have no idea which breaker that is. Then one must climb a step stool to unlatch the thingamadammit to open the cover and switch out the battery. Yeh.... No. At this point, I'm not sure we have extra batteries for the damned thing. Not a clue. I hate that.

500 Speaking of songs that somehow occupy your mind, the most unaccountably extraneous example happened to me a few years ago.

So, it was a hot sunny summer day. The grass was long, too long.

I knew just what to do. I'd done it so many times. Get my ass (and all associated parts) on the riding lawn mower and correct the situation.

Well, needless to say, mowing was done that day I tell you for certain!

It was somewhat midway through that chore that a bearing (where is dochen when you need dochen) on the cutting deck started to fail.

So it started to develop a strange, rhythmic vibration/hum.
It just seemed to play this, over and over.
