Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - June 10, 2025 [scampydog]
DIVE BAR! accessory. A bit of Old Swill on tap now and again is better than drinking out of an old leather shoe.
One of the most iconic users of tin over cardboard signs were breweries, which began using them for advertising in the late 19th century. These signs, featuring the distinctive designs and became fixtures in taverns, bars, and distributors across the county. During World War II, tin became a valuable resource for the war effort, leading to a decline in the production of tin over cardboard signs. Many existing signs were repurposed or recycled to support the war effort, making surviving examples from this era particularly rare and sought after by collectors. After the war, the golden age of signs began to wane as new advertising mediums such as television and radio gained prominence. Many signs were discarded or replaced with newer materials, contributing to their scarcity today.
Jukebox history. Seeburg, Rock-Ola, Wurlitzer, and more.
Is the jukebox destined for extinction or just a rebirth for a mobile world? Here's a rundown of what really happened in the course of jukebox history.DIVE BARS!, a jukebox, and raspy/sexy voices go together like grit and charm - rough, but somehow still fuego. Or is it eyeliner at midnight and questionable decisions?

I taught there. Amazing people.
The kids were amazing. I taught at an after school school. Classes ended at 10pm. And then detention.
I stayed one night to try to help a kid in detention. Left at 11pm.
Very nice buses were there to take kids home. I walked back to my apartment. Kids were all over the place. 11pm. Family Mart - kids were filling up on Ramen. Others were hanging out at a small park.
Not to mention my church I found there...
South Korea rules.

You did NOT want to see what that place looked like when the lights were turned all the way up.
Every table was barely held together by spit and a prayer because they were covered with carvings of patrons' names.
Decent burritos for lunch, though. But don't look to closely at them, either.

"You Never Even Called Me by My Name" is a song written by Steve Goodman and John Prine. Prine requested to be uncredited on the song, as he thought it was a "goofy, novelty song" and did not want to "offend the country music community". Goodman released the song on his eponymous 1971 debut album Steve Goodman to little acclaim. [Wiki]
The late, great, inimitable Steve Goodman.

First, let me set the stage - the bar was in the basement of a building with the requisite poor lighting and stank of beer, piss, weed, cigs and youth.
The men's room was simply a space with rough troweled concrete on the walls and floor with one, count them, one red clay pipe stuck into the floor. That was it.

- bring your DIVE BAR tales. And wisdom.
Used to party at Luigi's, on Elysian Fields Ave., out by UNO. The Radiators would play live there frequently before they got big-ish.
The floors were sticky, the pool table wasn't level, and the college babes were really into young Bif's super tan (from working 6x12 in the Brown & Root Pipe Yard across the river) and mullet. Them were the days. Overtime kicked in on Thursday before lunch. Net cash flow after taxes was $450 / week. Joined the Army so I'd have a less manual labor intensive job (bwahahahaha) and took a 75% pay cut / month.
Wisdom...uhhhh...don't stand in front of the f-150 sized speakers.

I'm from a really small farming community. But we had a hotel - strip club on main street. The windows were all covered. Us kids knew something adult was going on...
There's an even smaller farming community nearby. My 90 year old Uncle who passed away in February told me they used to have a strip club there.
I had to ask him. What kind of strippers would come to this small town.
The response. "Pretty ones. No one will pay for ugly strippers."

I was 16 going into a very sketchy bar with hardpan floors. Tin walls. Beer in bottles only. And one Coke bottler, which I bought.
The comedian was a woman with a bare midriff and a 1.5 inch appendix scar. She was nervous telling Norde Americano jokes after we walked in. She was not attractive, even when I was full of testosterone. The clientele was too drunk to notice us. We left after 20 minutes.

Had a little sunken dance floor, with bars and barstools along the perimeter so the old guys could leer at the college girls. Shitty loud dance music. Electronic dartboards, frequently triggered by the shitty loud dance music before you threw a dart. Pull-tabs served from a little counter in the corner, run by a woman who was the model for Marge Simpson's sisters.
Drank whiskey-n-cokes, rum-n-cokes, whatever-n-cokes because the bartenders couldn't hear me over the shitty loud dance music. Or they just didn't care.

One of the classic dive bars is about 15m from me in the Catskills. It's called Snyder's. It's on a wooded road and looks like the building might fall down. It's been featured in NYS travel guides . Jars of pickled eggs and pig's feet on the bar.

Now here's a dive bar. My fren and I went in and wanted to smoke and drink, so we figured we'll just light up and smoke until someone tells us to go outside. So we lit up. The bartendress in a wifebeater and jeans and scraggaly hair comes from behind the bar and says "I've got to tell you, it's illegal to smoke in a bar in California." We said Okay, got it. She... didn't really tell us to leave... and a few minutes later, she was at a table chatting with some other customers, smoking.

A gentleman heard me asking a lady at the counter about tipping. He told me there was no tipping in South Korea. I got used to that real fast.
So, a young guy from the hotel shows up and gathers my luggage. We step outside.
I am on the other side of the planet.
I looked up at the sky. The stars.
And the guy with my luggage was long gone.

Any varnished wood will be worn raw in spots. Lighting will be marginal. Advertising signs will be old. The bar tender is probably the owner. Don't expect upscale liquors...or Guiness stout.
There's at least an even chance that the place will be named for the owner (or previous owner) Example. - 'Fred's'.
I've spent time in dozens of such, all over the eastern U.S.
Now, we can move on to biker bars, a different genre.

"A dive bar is like porn."
My addendum: "like low budget porn"*
low budget (&/or amateur porn): you can see the shadows of the boom mikes; and often the boom mikes themselves are inadvertently lowered into the scenes. (oops!) The cinematography itself is about as varied as a police custodial interview-- you know what I mean. Two chairs, one on either side of a plexiglass partition.
* gentrified, high budget porn is the same quality as a Hollywood movie. I think a lot of legit film directors make these. Money is money.

They transferred me down Island to work for ComSubPac partly because I was having WAY too much fun in Wahiawa. 85 Toga Party? Yeah... me... The Assassin Game all over base... yeah...
But the end came soon after the Tsunami Party... where there was an earthquake in Alaska, so they sent all the married folks home, and restricted all us single folks to base...
Sooo... being as how we were in a Valley at the tip top of Oahu... I cranked the stereo, pulled out an ice chest of beer... got out my surf board, put on the leash, and sat down in a lawn chair... when folks were coming back from work? 'What ya doin?'... waitin for the Tidal Wave. Big Murph, a friend, got out his dive gear, and sat down beside me...
By 1 AM when the next shift of Operators got off shift... even Security had joined the party.

Koots was more fun in the 1970's, certainly. I lived about two blocks from there in the 80's, and it had calmed down a bit but was still plenty jumpy on weekends.

I think they were hanging out at the Carousel until the owner kicked them out. Dude must have balls of steel. I don't know where the Angels go to drink nowadays.
Of course there were any number of little neighborhood dive bars back in those days. The Billiken. Fireside Lounge. The Oasis. The Spenard Lounge. PJs. Buckaroo Club.

Having departed one seedy bar after a syphilitic whore and her pimp started paying too much attention to us, we were headed towards home when we spotted an open door.
Inside the door were a few tables and chairs, a bar made of a couple of planks across some tall sawhorses, and a refrigerator full of beer.
We were starting to put a dent in the beer supply, when the fluent Spanish-speaker in our group urgently said, "Guys, lets get out of here! The bartender just asked me to take him home with me!"
That was when we finally noticed the place was filled with nothing but men. Manly men. Who looked like they'd want to do manly things in the manner of men. We had somehow stumbled into the only gay bar in Honduras.
We beat a hasty retreat and slogged home in a tropical downpour, with water over our ankles.

Pretty laidback place, though. Not nearly as high-pressure as the Bush Company or any of the others.
I recall when some friends of mine went to the opening of a new club called "The Gay '90s".
"You do understand that this is a gay bar and the strippers are men, right?"
"Nah... the girls just dress up like saloon girls from the Gold Rush days."

Most people couldn't figure out how they stayed in business. Me, I soon figured out that they were laundering money. "See, Mr. IRS Dude? We sell beers for $2 each, and here are our receipts for ordering fifty million kegs of beer from the wholesaler. So that explains how we're making $100,000 per night." Never mind that most of the beers went out the door for $0.05...
Naturally, the places were always packed.

I noticed the sunset location varies several degrees depending on the season.
-----------
Tonight is full Moon, the Strawberry Moon (last full Moon of astronomical spring, or June full Moon, depending on which convention you prefer). It's also a major lunistice peak. Tonight's full Moon (07:43Z, 03:43AM EDT), will be about the lowest in can be over the horizon at meridian. That's 26.5 degrees here, which also means the Moon rises and sets about as far south as it can ever.
Yep, sunrise and set angle vary with the seasons, which depends on Sol's declination. The angle the ecliptic makes with the horizon and sunset and sunrise determines timing of twilight and how fast it gains altitude.

Two on the second floor, one in a basement.
Tile floors, plastic walls, loooong bars with the same 3 beer taps every 4ft and staircases so narrow you're rubbing navels with whatever man is going there other way. Jukebox and multiple pool tables, of course. Wine was "red" or "white" and came out of a box on the shelf.
One was the only 24hr bar at the time, so it was popular with returning sailors and there was always this one midget in there and he would reliably pick a fight with any Pacific Islanders who walked in.
The other one was frequented by the emotionally busted office clerks drowning their sorrows before heading back to whatever 8x10 cell he could afford after the divorce.
Both were places to walk in, park up, and drink with your change sitting on the bar in front of you next to the ashtray ready to pay for the next beer. The closest thing to conversation was yes to the bartender asking "another one?" or no to whatever lonely drunk imagined someone else might care about him and his problems. Just "no".
The downstairs dive was rowdy.
Good times.
I'd clean forgotten about them until tonight.

If you want to see the exact topocentric coordinates of all this at your exact location, use timeanddate.com with a URL in the form:
"www.timeanddate.com/sun/@lat, long" where lat and long are your exact coordinates. Use 6 or 7 decimal places for good accuracy.

Itaewon, or downtown had the Seoul Pub, an English style establishment run by a German ex-pat with Australian citizenship named Guenther. Had Guiness on tap, and bangers and beans and a few other gustatory accouterments that were pretty rare for South Korea. Prices weren’t too bad. My buddy complained that Guenther wouldn’t offer favorable exchange rates when converting dollars to won, he noted the bank just down the street had better rates.
“Yes, but zee bank vill not surf you a bier” was his retort. LOL

It was cloudy at sunset/moonrise tonight, and I couldn't see the Moon rising so far south. I can see it now, through some clouds obscuring it a bit.
This is lowest a full Moon can be within less than a degree, maybe 1/2 degree. The Moon's lowest declination will be tomorrow around 8PM, so tomorrow's culmination will be at 26.1 degrees, lower than tonight by 0.4 degrees, and still looking pretty full.
To appear at the lowest possible, you'd have to have full Moon appear directly on the June solstice, and the declination minimum happen exactly then as well (within a few hours). We're getting about as close to that now as we ever get.

Unlike other automonous vehicle companies, @Tesla had its customers:
1. Pay for the R&D.
2. Pay for the cars.
3. Do the AI training.
The world is about to change deeply.
I've been doing a bunch of consumer research by interviewing customers of @waymo (a competitor).
They almost universally tell me:
1. They don't want to own a car anymore.
2. They don't want to drive anymore.
3. They don't want to take Uber anymore.
And Tesla can underprice Waymo AND provide a better experience to boot. Oh, and because @elonmusk got us to pay already the Tesla network will be profitable almost from the start.
Why did I do that research?
Early adopters tell me how everyone else will behave I've learned many times in my career.

Rainier Beer, aka Vitamin R, the elixir of my youth and college days. The brand bounced around different ownerships after the original Rainier brewery in the Georgetown neighborhood was sold to Heilman and then to the current owners, Pabst, but the good news is that it has gotten popular again with the college crowd and working man.
Sadly, however, I was told just last week that Henry Weinhard's is no more. The first "craft" beer I remember, from Portland, Oregon, was indeed a legend.
But as the beer is but a memory, as was the city it came from. Once a fantastic place to visit or live, Portland, for all intents and purposes, is now gone, too. Leftism is an evil bitch.

I highly recommend the desktop version of Stellarium, if you're interested in all this. It will display more information than you can shake a stick out. You can have it project the ecliptic, equator, hour angle circles, invariable plane and all that on the sky view. There you can see how the angle and altitude of the ecliptic vary over the day.
You can get a good handle on how things behave seasonally from that.

Dad would bring home Lucky Lager, in the stubby bottles, for years. IIRC it was brewed in Vancouver, WA. Then one time, he suddenly changed to Heidelberg in the keg bottle, and that was his beer of choice every evening after a hard and long, blue collar day. Brewed by Carling Brewery, Tacoma, WA.
He would buy Rainier once in a while, it was usually during a summer neighborhood gathering, like Memorial or Labor Day, or 4th of July.
It was strange at our house when I was growing up that sometimes a beer or two in our refrigerator would simply disappear, about the time when I turned about 14 or 15. It never happened when dad first got home after a long day and cracked the first one, it seemed to happen when he would fall asleep in his chair after having 4 or 5 and finishing dinner. And they would collect in the old refer in the garage, hidden behind the cans of pop and other things mom kept in there.
To this day, it's a mystery.

On the ride to Lake Tapps in the mid 70's to take a spin in somebody's dad's ski boat, we would stop at the little Lake Tapps store on the back side of the lake and buy Columbia beer, 99 cents a six of cans.
It tasted horrible, but as college students, we found as long as you put enough ice in the cooler, it wasn't bad as long as you drank it fast enough. The savings on beer went to pay for gas for the ski boat.

First, I needed a piece of steel plate. Had to liberate that from a welded-up bracket no longer needed for its original use. Break out the plasma cutter. And the angle grinder. OK, I have a sturdy plate. Lay out and drill four holes for the studs on the seat slides. Did it wrong. Twice! Ended up slotting the holes. OK, it fits the seat slides. Wut?? The seat slides don't slide. Somebody had welded blocks on them to prevent them from sliding. Cut those off. Then had to oil up the slides. and work them a whole lot to make them free again. Welded a piece of pipe onto the plate, made it an inch off-center fore/aft, so that I would an option to get fore-aft seat slide travel in range. Seat is in place, and looks like it belongs there, but it did come out of a Brand X step van.

The Colfax Tavern between Cimarron and Raton, NM is easy to find. For years I thought the place was called the COLD BEER tavern because that is what is painted on the side of the building in 6 foot tall letters.

It was strange at our house when I was growing up that sometimes a beer or two in our refrigerator would simply disappear, about the time when I turned about 14 or 15. It never happened when dad first got home after a long day and cracked the first one, it seemed to happen when he would fall asleep in his chair after having 4 or 5 and finishing dinner. And they would collect in the old refer in the garage, hidden behind the cans of pop and other things mom kept in there.
To this day, it's a mystery.

Brings back good memories of sneaking the occasional beer out of the fridge in the 'utility' room - but only after I was 18 which was the legal drinking age where we lived back then...

Ok, I just looked it up, and Concentration was relaunched in the late 80's with Alex Trebek. Hugh Downs hosted the original that launched in 1958. So we're both right, but you are still on my lawn..

It was one of my favorite spots in NM. The woman who runs has a master degree in speech pathologies. I found that to uniquely appropriate skill set for running a saloon. Especially after 11 pm. She brings bands and host other things. Peeps drive from all over to be there. My first time I ended up photographing a wedding - they couple spaced out getting pics. It was a hoot. Another time I bought a "limited edition t-shirt" and sent it off to the boy spawn. When he went there the first time I made him wear the shirt. She recognized it in a hot second. Boy spawn was a minor royal for a couple hours. This place checks all the boxes.

Well, "high loon" was at 1:20AM EDT. Meridian, transit, culmination. That's the lowest full Moon I'll see for 18.6 years. In half that, 9.3 years, it will be at the minor lunistice peak, and the solstice full Moon will be close to the highest it will ever be.

I don't know if Tcn in AK is here, but it hit me for her around Anchorage, it will be damned low indeed. Looked it up, and it will be just 1.6 degrees above the horizon max. It will rise just 10 degrees east of due south and set 10 degrees west of south. It will just barely pop up above the horizon. And depending on local topography, you might not even see it all.

If you're wondering what's going on with the Moon being so low, we're at a Major Lunistice. Lunistice = "Moon still", just as solstice = "sun still". Lo, the Sun/Moon stands still.
To first order, the Moon lies on the ecliptic plane. At a full Moon, the Moon is one the opposite side of the earth from the sun. Thus, seasonally, when the sun is high, the full Moon will be low, and vice versa. The full Moon closest to the summer solstice will be the lowest of the year, and the one closest to the winter solstice will be the highest for the year. And likewise, the "lunar day", the time the Moon is above the horizon, is just opposite of the sun as well.
Tonight, the Moon will be above the horizon for the shortest time of the year.

Now, to higher order. The Moon's orbit is tilted relative to the ecliptic by 5.1 degrees. So, it's actually not dead on the ecliptic, but a little off. Now, the Moon's orbit is locked into that inclination. It's pegged to the ecliptic, not the earth's equatorial plane. And that's because of the Sun's tidal perturbations.
But, that inclination *precesses*, rotates around ecliptic north around a cone of 5.1 degrees with a period of 18.6 years. This means the Moon's orbital angle relative to the earths' equatorial plane, will vary, with the 5.1 degrees adding or subtracting from the Earth's axial tilt.
We're at the point not where that is adding exactly, and thus the Moon's orbital tilt relative to the equator is the highest it can be. And that's why the June full Moon is the lowest it can.

That's very sad. Scott Bloomquist was an interesting character. Great dirt track racer, mostly late models. One of the best, if not the best ever at his craft. I wonder if his cancer came back and he decided to just end it. He had been diagnosed a few years ago but then I stopped hearing about it and he kept racing. He started selling his race equipment at some point. May have needed cash for treatments. I don't know. Just speculating. I'm a big racing fan so this is quite sad to hear.

ARGENTINA's SUPREME COURT CONFIRMS CRISTINA KIRCHNER's CORRUPTION CONVICTION
In a landmark ruling, Argentina’s Supreme Court unanimously upheld the conviction of former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in the “Public Works” case, confirming a six-year prison sentence and a lifetime ban from public office for defrauding the state through public works contracts.
The decision, just announced, marks a historic moment, making Kirchner the second ex-president since 1983 to face imprisonment for corruption.
The court rejected appeals from Kirchner’s defense, confirming the November 2024 ruling by the Federal Court of Cassation.
The sentence includes an $80 million dollar asset seizure. Kirchner, 72, may request house arrest due to her age.
The ruling bars her from running as a provincial legislator in upcoming elections, significantly impacting Argentina’s political landscape.
