Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - June 17, 2025 [scampydog]
Good evening and thank you for checking in on the Tuesday, ONT. Some random, a few parts science, and 100% why not. Comment section won't bite - probably.

I know you will assure me that I am foolish and that you want me to have full happiness and don't want to be in my way. I'll bet you are surprised that I don't even have a girlfriend (except you, sweetheart) after two years. But you can't help it, darling, nor can I - I don't understand it, for I have met many girls and very nice ones and I don't want to remain alone - but in two or three meetings they all seem ashes. You only are left to me. You are real.From publius: "Feynman did remarry, twice. Second ended in divorce, and the third lasted until his death. Here's a picture of him dancing with his third wife at the Nobel Ceremony in 1965. He was clowning a bit there, of course. There's some other pictures of him at the Nobel Ceremony. She died about a year after he did." Perfect sphere found by astronomers. Riddle was bugging me, so I did what any self respecting Moron would do. I emailed publius.
In data collected by a powerful radio telescope, astronomers have found what appears to be a perfectly spherical bubble. We know more or less what it is - it's the ball of expanding material ejected by an exploding star, a supernova remnant - but how it came to be is more of a puzzle.Next up we have some (no longer) mystery radio signals.
The source of mystery radio signals in space has finally been identified after almost a decade. For the past ten years, astronomers have been detecting strange radio signals emitting from space every two hours. Unfortunately, scientists have already ruled out aliens in this one.NASA skywatching for the Month of June.
All Month - Planet Visibility: Venus: Rises about 2 hours before the Sun in June, and shines very brightly, low in the eastern sky, in the morning all month. Mars: Visible in the west for a couple of hours after sunset all month. Drops lower in the sky as June continues, and passes very close to Regulus in the constellation Leo on June 16 and 17. (They will be about half a degree apart, or the width of the full moon.) Jupiter: Visible quite low in the west after sunset for the first week of June, then lost in the Sun's glare after. Will re-appear in July in the morning sky. Mercury: Becomes visible low in the west about 30 to 45 minutes after sunset in the last week and a half of June. Saturn: Rises around 3 a.m. in early June, and around 1 a.m. by the end of the month. Begins the month near Venus in the dawn sky, but rapidly pulls away, rising higher as June goes on.More from publius "Venus and Earth's orbital periods have a ratio that is very close to 13:8, meaning Venus completes 13 orbits per 8 earth orbits almost exactly. Venus thus has 5 inferior conjunctions occurring very close to the same point in the sky every 8 years. That works out to a cycle of about 9 months between conjunctions. Since Venus is an inferior planet, we can never see it overhead during the middle of the night, only on the eastern morning or western evening side of the sky close before sunrise or close after sunset. The window around these inferior conjunctions are when Venus gets close and bright. During a window of several months around the inferior conjunction, Venus first appears bright in the western sky right after sunset when it's on the eastern side of the sun, then disappears into the sun at inferior conjunction. It then quickly whips to the western side of the sun to appear in the early morning, still close and bright. It then continues in its orbit, getting dimmer and father away and closer to the sun in the sky, until it repeats the cycle 9 months later. So Venus flips between "Evening Star" and "Morning Star" modes. Believe it or not, when Venus is near maximum brightness during the Evening and Morning Star modes, they get a lot of UFO reports from those not familiar with what's in the sky above them. You can plot this from a geocentric reference plane, and see the relative position of Venus and the Sun over this 8 year cycle. Venus' path makes a nice 5-sided pattern centered around the earth, sometimes poetically dubbed the Five-petal Rose of Venus, seen here on this Earthsky page." Big AoS thank to you publius! *** That's one way to learn.

First day of summer is June 20th. Unless you live in Phoenix, where it's know as "just another day of 110+ heat."
Let's roll through some decades of summer songs. Which songs left a dent in your summer brain? Make your case in the comments. (and if linking in comments, please use tinyurl or another link shortening tool).
1950's: Thought about Lollipop, but we are going with Eddie Cochran. Summertime Blues, 1958. 1960's: Tommy James and the Shondells. Mony Mony, 1968. Billy Idol version was pretty good too. 1970's: It is Pride Month. The Kinks. Lola, 1970. 1980's: Damn, this decade is tough as a Gen X'er. The Clash. Should I Stay or Should I Go, 1981. 1990's: All the 'cool kids' spent a summer mocking the video. Yet they danced and sang along. Rob Van Winkle. Vanilla Ice. Ice, Ice, Baby, 1990. 2000's: Flame away in the comments. This came down to: Nelly/Country Grammar, Ride Wit Me or.... Buckcherry. Crazy B*tch, 2006. NSFW. 2010's: Lost musical decade. Kids won a lot of the radio car battles. Meghan Trainor. All About that Bass, 2014. Will close the summer song - musical section with this all-timer.
This ONT brought to you by: Seen around town.

It still does not solve the mystery on what is holding up his tights. I maybe don't want to know as I had to look at IT three times to figure out that the leopard tank top was not part of his tattoos.
Please note that he didn't yet have the $$ to pay to have his rose tat colored in. Too late now, mate, if we are getting nuked tonight!

Cary Grant. Somethng like 'Bringing Up Baby'. Always good eyepaper. But Grant also did 'His Girl Friday', another favorite of mine. The one liners in that movie are so fast and furious that one needs to be able to pause just to appreciate them all.
You can also add the 1931 version of 'The Front Page' as a good screwball comedy.

And supposedly there were implosion tests detected (non-nuclear, obviously). So it's not entirely implausible that some desperate flop-sweat machining of whatever they have on hand has been going on, or something. I dunno.
If they're planning on throwing it, though, I think they'd need to use one of their older, bigger rockets to do it - Shahab or Shelob or whatever the fuck it's called. Those are conspicuous and, as a bonus, liquid fueled - probably not a great combo when there's a bunch of Israeli planes flying around your airspace with impunity.

Israeli Air Force F-15 Eagles heading out to escort a strike package into Iranian airspace.
This group of nearly 50 year old Eagles, armed with an equally eclectic mix of AIM-7 Sparrows, AIM-120 AMRAAMs, and Python 4s, now dominate the skies over Iran.
OSINTtechnical @Osinttechnical 23m
On July 29, 1981, Baz 673 (this aircraft) flown by Major Shaul Simon is credited with downing a Syrian MiG-25 "Foxbat" using an AIM-7F Sparrow missile.
673 now flies with the name “Foxbat Killer.”

Yup. He didn't do himself any favors when he cacked himself, and I'm sad he felt that he should.
But it definitely preserved his legacy. Comedic actors (and some nostalgic audiences) now feel it proper to talk about how he great he was.
Short of his suicide, he'd be remembered as a hammy actor of yesteryear by now. Most people would say "Who? Oh yeah, him. He was funny in Mrs. Doubtfire. Sorta."

My sister saw him at some charitable function in Detroit. Probably for the symphony, or something. She said he is a lot better looking in person. And my sister is very traditional in her attitudes about dress. Apparently he cleans up real nice.

It wasn't a laugh a riot like 'Good Morning Vietnam' or other films. If you hate a character because he's a creep -- and you don't laugh at him, does that make the acting successful? Some people can't play a bad guy. I was surprised Williams could.

Ironically, one of our nuclear bunker busters (10 kt, tactical level range) would be the ideal thing to take out Fordow. It would do it nice and slick.
Clever little device that burrows underground a bit, and is designed for maximum coupling of the shockwave to rock. It would produce a 10 - 30 atm overpressure shock wave in undergrounds up to 200 m deep that would just, first kill everybody inside, and be like smashing a hammer into all the equipment. It wouldn't "blow it up", but it would kill everybody and destroy the equipment.

1. Kiev got hit hard with drones and missiles last night. They may have lost another Patriot air defense battery, which probably won't be replaced.
2. North Korea will be sending 5000 engineering troops to the Kursk region, supposedly to clear landmines and repair infrastructure. Speculation is they will actually be kept busy getting up anti-drone netting over a supply roads.
3. The Russians continue to push forward in multiple locations, including pushing back the last Ukrainian cross border incursion in the northeast.

I recently heard Adam Carolla interview some Asian karate man who was promoting the movie he was in. This guy was the diametric opposite of that ugly Snow White girl who ruined her company's take by running her mouth during PR hits.
Carolla does long form interviews, and the usual project plugs can't carry a conversation for too long, so he always gets in the plugs, asks about the project, and then tries to steer the interview into more interesting territory for the audience.
This guy wasn't having it. No matter what Carolla asked him, he just went back to the project. If Carolla had asked "what's your favorite fruit," he'd have answered "I can't really say, Adam. Craft Services on Mission: Impossible 5 provided the best of every fruit, and they were all equally delicious. That was the level of professionalism everywhere on this set."

It's really surprising to me how strong these shock waves can be. From this nuclear bunker buster shock wave, we get a 10-30 atm overpressure shock wave, and that is even with very piss poor coupling between surrounding rock and the cavity of an underground room filled with air.
So, standing in there when such a shock hit, the thing would come off the walls, traveling at Mach 3 through the air. Wavelength would be around a couple inches. That thing would rip through you, hitting you like a plane hammer that travelled through your body, smashing your innards as it passed through you in microseconds.
Your innards would be mush, and your body would just collapse on the floor like a sack of mush.

Broke down and bought a new 6' rotary cutter for my little tractor. Old one, dating to the mid-70s had given up the ghost. Gearbox was worn out and noisy. Maybe repairable, but finding parts.... So, new one it was.
I get it. As Daddy used to say, PTO driveline had the "Ralph Nadar" safety shit all over it. They just cheaped out, putting some plastic cover on that would meet the requirements, but there was absolutely no way to get to the zerk on the U-joint at the gearbox. No way.
So, well, I'm going to have to take that off. But first, I'm going to give it a little test run. Greased everything else, and the front U-joint seemed to be full, so I figure I can run it a little to see how it does before taking the plastic crap off. It was going to be a bitch to do that.
And then, problem solved itself, turned out..... but, in a non-optimum fashion....

For explosions above ground, if you were close enough for the shock wave to be that strong, you'd been in the total incineration zone anyway, with the heat pulse. Many different ways you'd be dead.
Here, it's a small nuke optimized to generate a shock wave in rock, which transmits to undeground bunker type facilities.

So, I get the new bush hog out, and engage the PTO. Luckily, I start it slow at idle, to make sure everything is turning properly, and nothing is out of whack.
And then "pow", and the PTO drive line just comes loose, bounces a bit in the plastic shield, and flops down. Plastic shield is damaged. Drive line is not. What the actual fuck?
I go back, and find the remains of the bolt securing the slip clutch assembly to the input shaft of the gear box. It's a 1/2" diameter (3/4" head) with a lock nut. It's in 3 pieces. Bolt head, middle, and nut side. I look at the breaks.
Mostly dull colored, with just some tiny little bright spots.

What the hell happened? Well, some idiot, some blithering idiot, putting that thing together, overtightened that bolt to the point of the nearly wringing it off, but backed off just at the point of complete wringing off.
Now, had it held on a little more, I would've probably revved it to full speed, and put it under load, which would would've been even worse. I think the 3-point frame would've prevented that shaft from slinging out completely and hitting me in the head or something, but it would've torn up something big time.

So, that solved me the trouble of taking that shaft loose to take the stupid plastic shield off so I could regularly get to the grease fitting.
These PTO shield are ridiculous. There's a way to do it right, where you can still get to it to grease it. It's possible, but a bitch. Everyone generally ends up taking them off because of it. But in this case, no attempt was made to make it possible. Oh, there was a "grease hole" in that plastic shield, but no way in hell to get a grease gun nozzle into.
Some specialized nozzle might could be made just for that, but it would've been some odd shaped thing designed just to fit that particular shield and shaft geometry.

Even funnier. We knew, in elementary school, we were targets and GONE if it ever happened. We were living in Norfolk and one or both of our parents were either active duty or retired. The drills were to 'calm our nerves'. To us they were a joke. We did the drills. but we knew we were gone. The Norfolk Complex of Bases, Air Stations, Camps and Forts are still on everybody's target list. Whatever the latest and greatest weapon is Norfolk, for the foreseeable future, will be a target.

That's the backstory behind Stanislav Petrov sitting on his hands and not telling his superiors about the false alarm of an inbound strike. He looked at it and had the common sense to know that if the US decided to end the world, that wasn't how they'd start it. He also was perfectly aware that not too far above him it was lunatics all the way up.

I remember maybe fifteen or twenty years back, the Poles and Russians got into one of their periodic squabbles. I forget about what, exactly. But the Poles released a bunch of Soviet/Warsaw Pact strategic plans, to embarrass the Russians.
They said that the Soviets ruled out invasion of the US and nuclear first strikes, because they knew neither could work... Instead they planned to break through the Fulda Gap, trigger REFORGER, then feign defeat/retreat, draw the American forces to a pursuit into their own burdensome Warsaw Pact territories, tactically nuke them all, and pick up the pieces.
I have to admire the cynicism. It may even have worked.

Duck and cover is not completely useless. Close enough to the center, of course, you're dead anyway, but there's a distance range far enough away, where it would increase immediate survivability.
There are stories from Hiroshima that confirm this. One was girl with some of her friends. She saw the flash, and immediately hit the ground, face down and prone. She survived (to a living hell). All her friends who remained standing were killed.
You've got a blast wave and thermal pulse, the latter of which just ignites everything. Some survivors had their clothes incinerated around them where they stood. Anything that can provide shadow can protect against that thermal pulse.
Going flat on the ground minimizes your surface area to the oncoming wave front.

The risk of war—perhaps nuclear war—between India and Pakistan remains high, especially as New Delhi has lost all patience for Pakistani terrorism and is now weaponizing water. See: https://tinyurl.com/yc2xcydw - Maura Moynihan - India, China, and Pakistan: The Big War is Coming.
I don't think it's going to be war war because the Israel/Iran thing preceded by Pakistan's whipping will cause them to rethink their bravado.
At the same time, just as we are hemispherically doing here, there will be an alignment of the sane; Russia, Israel, India (there is also the Three Seas Group)- all different, all sane, all invested in moving to the first world.

Our 30,000 lb big boy busters are indeed conventional. We do have a dial-a-yield specific nuclear bunker buster weapon. These are not as capable. Sealing off using these would be the plan, not trying to take it out directly.
The nuke versions would be capable of taking out Fordow via impressive shockwave production. That's its purpose.

If earlier analysis is correct that the bunker buster won't destroy the bunker but will kill everyone in it and destroy all of the equipment that's about 90% of the job.
It eliminates the immediate threat and gives Israel time to finish of the Khomeini's, the Ayatollahs, the mullahs and the Red Guard.

That shockwave I was talking about comes from the nuclear bunker buster. The details are classified, but the designation is B61-11, EPW (earth penetrating weapon). It's variable yield. For a bunker busting shockwave job, 10 kt would suffice.
That will get that lethal shockwave 200m through solid rock.
The conventional ones can't do that. Sealing off, by collapsing the entrance tunnels, ventilation, and all that is all you can hope for. How deep Fordow is is not publicly certain, but 100m to 200m is what you see.

If they get a new Shah, he should round up and execute every mullah, every ayatollah, and every imam. And deny muslims any role in running the country. No vote, no political office, no government jobs, no matter how menial.

If the wolf goes inactive they will come and look for it. If you shoot a wolf and try to remove it from your property, you're busted. If you shoot them with a .22, they will generally travel a good distance. A .22 isn't always fatal, but if they do die, it won't be on your property. This is advice I got from someone who has worked extensively with Washington, Idaho and Montana in their wolf management programs. He's an interesting gentleman. He's not a wolf hater, but he's definitely an advocate for property owners. He has no love for government agencies.

So the remedy is to shoot the wolf with an inhumane weapon, and hope it's wounded badly enough to limp away and die elsewhere? I see the reasoning, but it's perverse. Perverse because the State's insistence on "saving" the wolves ensure that some will die a painful, prolonged death.

Cut the collar off the dead wolf, tie a string to it, and drag for mile or two through the bush to a roadside. Leave it there. Go get the dead wolf, take it to the roadside, put the collar back on, leave on the road, and run over it. Road killed, it were.

It's definitely cruel. I don't hate predators. They're a necessary part of any ecosystem. The government "management " Fs up the natural balance. They don't seem to understand the concept of carrying capacity. There is plenty of good science out there. Idaho has corrected some of their mismanagement by allowing wolf hunting. They allowed wolfs to decimate the elk population but they're taking steps to correct that. Washington is purely political. Good science is beyond their comprehension. I don't hate predators. They stay off my property, I don't mess with them.

Slovak PM Fico Questions NATO Membership, Sparks Backlash Over Call For Neutrality
Authored by Thomas Brooke via Remix News,
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has sparked a political debate after publicly suggesting that Slovakia might benefit from adopting a neutral stance in foreign policy — an idea that would mean withdrawal from the NATO alliance.
Speaking during a visit to the Ministry of Economy, Fico asked, “Wouldn’t Slovakia’s neutrality be good in this crazy period? I put this question very officially, very clearly.”
“What are we all dragged into? What kind of war are you talking about? Who on earth wants to fight with whom? I still don’t know.”
As reported by Denník Postoj, the Slovak premier also denounced plans by the European Union to increase defense spending, criticizing what he called the “senseless times of armaments” and comparing weapons manufacturers to pharmaceutical firms profiting during the COVID-19 pandemic. “How do you want to spend the €80.....

I'm just as happy the grizzly bears stay in Fish Creek, a good two miles away. I'd rather they not visit my farm or my dogs. Black bears are not so reliable; they have been known to pass by, but the moose keep them at bay, for the most part.
Now, the moose. So far, the older lady moose run this place, and they decide which of the "men" can come calling, or be successful. It's kinda fun in the fall watching the parade. But I'd be just as happy they didn't jump the fence. They are hell on dogs, and my dogs... well... not so good at confrontation avoidance.
I do have the AR, just in case. So far, no problem, but there's a reason we don't put out bird feeders.

I was hunting on the nearby timber property one morning and had started walking into a stand right before daybreak. I was walking through a clear cut area when I caught some movement so I hunkered down. I started hearing movement behind me. As it got light I realized I had about five moose surrounding me. Three cows and a couple of juvenile bulls. About the time I was deciding which way to make an exit, Bullwinkle came out of a clump of trees about 40 yards in front of me and put his head down and charged. I jumped into a clump of scraggly little trees . They wouldn't have kept him out but for whatever reason he stopped. He didn't leave for about ten minutes. I thought about shooting him but didn't.

Every time I try to sympathize with the modernizers in Iran, I read something like that and I think "That stupid part of the world." It's funny, the daywalkers were saying Nyaa, no one in Iran even remembers the shah, they've all lived under the mullahs from time immemorial -- but no way are grudges forgotten.

When I was working in Alaska, the mayor of our small town came home drunk one evening and caught a moose in his freshly rotatilled cabbage patch. He grabbed a rake and whacked the moose. He ended up in a body cast. He didn't drink at our bar so we didn't like him. Apparently someone signed the hind end of his cast " vote for dumbass".
