Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - July 9, 2025 [TRex]
Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety.
This is the Wednesday night ONT. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. Tip your bartender. Been a rough week on a lot of fronts. Prayers for all among the Horde for issues known and unknown, small and large, and personal or adjacent. TRex isn't smart enough to pray for specific intentions, so I usually stick with praying for strength and wisdom and for happiness and good health. May it be also for those in Texas.
In 1946, General Mills established an Aeronautical Research Division. The division developed high altitude balloons for the United States Navy Office of Naval Research. They were initially used mostly for high altitude meteorological observation, known as Skyhook balloons.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., July 8th, 2025 - Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT) announced today that Barbie is debuting the first Barbie doll with type 1 diabetes (T1D). This addition to the line enables more children to see themselves reflected in Barbie and encourages doll play that extends beyond a child's own lived experience, thereby fostering a greater sense of inclusion and empathy - all pillars of the Barbie brand's mission. Mattel Press Release
Passengers can now keep their shoes on at TSA security checkpointsThe TSA directive says nothing about pants, but it is probably better that most people in the airport remain fully clothed. However, pants are still required for the Book Thread and optional for the Hobby Thread.
National Press Release
Tuesday, July 8, 2025 WASHINGTON - Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced a new policy today which will allow passengers traveling through domestic airports to keep their shoes on while passing through security screening at TSA checkpoints. The new policy will increase hospitality for travelers and streamline the TSA security checkpoint process, leading to lower wait times.
There is no truth to the rumor that TRex's doctor has taken the fifth. Written correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Are you lurking ?? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It’s a great read. One thing I’m immediately struck by is how similar the events and chicken shit back then and today. Like say, Peter Stroke getting his pension re-instated after being fired for cause.
If you read the Wiki on a fellow named John Service, he was a diplomat stationed in China before the war. Wiki says he “correctly predicted the Communists would defeat the Nationalists”
Well, yes. Since he had a profound impact on making this happen - not too tough of a prediction. He made that happen.
Eventually the Secretary of State, Dean Acheson fired him. Supreme Court re-instated him. Same BS, different day. The book is replete (so far) of really, really fvcked up shit.
The Balkans were another. They supported Tito over a guy named Michailovich, who was both anti-Nazi and anti-Communist. If you have Uk, US, and Russia on your side, good to go. Michailovich was rounded up, show trial, executed.

The number of people that confuse "two plus two" - or "what size is a 2 x 4" is much, much bigger.
Hence why you have all these Mexicans here. Because they can put together inch and a half by three and a half lumber.
Part of the fall of America, honestly ? Its the status afforded to those that assign honestly to the subtlety of "to" and "too".
Who cares ? Nobody that makes anything of use.

One of the points in the Oppenheimer movie that Nolan really didn't do justice is when they find out the Soviets had set off their own nuclear test. Oppenheimer's rival, Lewis Strauss, who is presented as a jealous jerk in the movie, was the guy who had pushed for this when the consensus by Oppenheimer and his associates was that it wouldn't work and the Soviets were far from building their own bomb anyway.
This was from fixed wing aircraft not balloons, but your note reminded me of it...

The appropriate response to the shoe bomber should have been the bombing of Muslim cities until the danger of a follow up dissipated.

It was a marvel to hear the 20th breadth of American music played with apex skill. Without a doubt that band went far in making clear that what they performed was a pinnacle moment of American classical music: we don't need no Mozart, we gots Rock n' Roll.
In February, 2025 he announced that an auto-immune disease had robbed his ability play guitar. A month or so later, after beginning treatment, he felt that he was going to be able to play again, hopefully in the not to distant future.
I monitor his progress with hopes that I can be there when that band blows minds once again. Heck, I would drive 1000 miles to hear that band again and will if that happens. And you should too. For reals.
This is the band I saw the first time. Damn.

Type 1 isn't a lifestyle disease, type 2 is. Type 1 is genetic, or maybe environmental.
The doll is still insipid and vapid, or at least virtue-signalling, but this is on the level of calling the handicapped "handi-capable," not like calling 600 pound land whales "healthy at any size."

One day a few years back a young-ish Russian immigrant guy had a DP-27, the Red Army's light machine gun, which he'd welded back together from a kit. Semi-auto, of course. He had the pan magazines for it, he was testing his 54R reloads for gun function. He said the pan mags worked well but usually troops loaded them a few rounds short of max capacity, which works with most mags to improve reliability.

There have been multiple left-wing shooters that have had their AR-15s jam during a mass shooting attempt.
The same thing also happened at the Marjorie Stoneham (David Hogg) shooting.
And supposedly one of the shooters at the recent ICE agent ambush had their AR-15 jam.
Is there a way to f*ck up the operation of an AR-15?
Like misloading the magazine, some long-gun version of limp wristing, etc.?
I assume they haven't shot their weapons enough that they were critically dirty.
Or does the function of the weapon just depend on the IQ of the shooter?

I recall going east to DC and of course giving up on Mex, but was happy to see Vietnamese going strong in NoVa.
Over the years, surely as a side effect of some mysterious demographic/border thing that I can't quite figure out, I started coming across decent Mex in unexpected places back there. Anchorage of course had some great Mex (oil industry) when I visited there. And never did try the places in Baku, where the oil thing also probably accounted for the Mex restaurants. Just focused on the great kebab etc. when there.

Yeah, he mentioned something about his hands feeling like they're waaaay bigger, and it screws him up. I know a little about that. If I'm sitting in a wrong chair where my wrist is bent too much because the guitar is too low my hand goes numb, and feels like its twice the size. Its impossible to play, because your targeting is out the window. You press the wrong strings because you can't feel the strings. I can at least correct that by standing with a strap like I'm used to for decades, or sitting in the right chair. He on the other hand is totally fucked. What a shitty thing to happen to a guitar player. I watch RA steal the guitar from my father at the worst time. He is a shell of his former self.

We are blessed. Hatch, NM, 30 miles north of LC, is the premier spot for chiles. On labor day they throw a Chile Festival where tons of green chiles are roasted. It is not rare to see peeps go home with a 100 lbs of fresh roasted green chiles. The red chiles are the same plant but they are allowed ripen all the way which turns them red.
So red or green? It depends on the dish. Chile Colorado is always red. Green seems to be the go to for most other dishes but you can always get red or Christmas.
One can order online from the stores in Hatch. You typically can get red and green in powder (I get medium and hot and blend them) or green in jars (most convenient). The best green after fresh roasted is frozen (I think some places ship those - not sure). There really is a difference.

I dunno. Iran has backed off from direct missile attacks, and it's not really in their best interest to provide Israel a pretext for breaking a ceasefire right now. Add in the fact that the Houthis are quite literally severely retarded, and I think it's possible they're going off half-cocked.

Ships are too big to cover with just 4 MGs... what they are doing is boarding and planting charges now...
They need more crew, who are armed and trained... but that raises a LOT of liability issues in parts of the world, that the Houthis are not attacking...

And popin that Antenna? would give their position away both physically, and Electronically.
Best solution IMO would be a couple of Destroyers, accompanying an LHD... Attack Helos, and F-35s, and drones (oh my).
Drones for surveillance, Attack helos for the small boats... and a couple F-35Bs to attack any shore target where they come from.

Aren't the Houthis rebels against what passes for government in Yemen? I though there was a civil war/proxy fight between Iran and the Saudis for a while before Oct 7 happened.

There’s a local variety of “sweet onion” grown here, not really sweet but it’s a very mild yellow onion, I like to cook with them. Talked to a grower at a farmers market, he said the key to their mildness was to have a very sandy field with no sulfur in it. I would imagine that’s also true for Vidalia onions.

Ultimate solution is for the other (official guvamint) side in Yemen to finally exterminate them. I assume we and the Saudis and others are working on that (we were during our carrier-based air campaign).

And there’s a big part of the problem. There was a lot of talk on some channels that the US was attacking Yemen so that the other “official” government could stage an offensive. Looked like it was gonna happen - and then the “official” army just fell apart without doing much of anything, and their Defense Minister resigned in disgrace, and the next day the US just said “well fuck it” and we came up with some kind of excuse to quit doing anything there.
Sad to say, we expended a large amount of ordnance and accomplished very little. Lost two F-18’s and quite a few Reapers, too. (Luckily no lives lost)

The third item on the Pittsburgh Police Scanner isn't even funny. Kind of heartwarming that a bartender thinks highly enough of his patrons that he calls for a welfare check when a regular is absent.
I found it heartwarming too. Good to hear about good people.

Requests for welfare checks are very common in the sleepy beach town near me, and police blotter can be quite amusing. I'll never forget the woman who couldn't figure out how to get out of her BMW. She drove to the police station and honked until someone came out and gave her instructions.

The event was filmed at the border bridge in the town of Guben by the Polish Citizens Patrol Movement, who told him to return to Germany.
The movement has 7000 members and was founded a few weeks ago to patrol the border with Germany and stop the German police from pushing illegal migrants into Poland.

Funny, it's almost like hitting 3 sites with a few bombs doesn't really address much of the problem that Iran poses, besides being a "mow the lawn" temporary measure, depending on follow-up.
Oh - and the Houthis are a pretty weird bunch. Part of the culture is massive consumption of khat (by chewing), sort of comparable to coca leaf chewing in the Andean countries. Fun fact: Israel's military CoS is of Yemeni origins (Jewish Yemeni, naturally). Yemen had one of the world's oldest and most traditional Jewish communities. And, for language geeks, what is considered the most classical version of Arabic.

Why do they do it?
They openly talk about ending whiteness. It's anti-white propaganda. You see white women and men with anyone but other whites in commercials, television, and movies because they're trying to convince whites to voluntarily go extinct. Same reason pr0n is obsessed with interracial sex. There's an old observation that the purpose of a system is what it does. A corollary is that if a system appears designed to achieve a certain result it is.

Entirely possible, but he/she/it is not wrong per se.
We're an open multiracial country. Free people have to be free to love someone of any race or ethnicity they choose. I don't have any problem with mixed-raced unions. Why would I? But there's a difference between free people making their own choices and the concerted propaganda we are seeing to influence those choices. That's what I object to: the subtle thumb on the scale. But, of course, if you're white and notice this, you're a racist. Unlike, say certain segments of the black community, which have been very vocal in their opposition to black men choosing white or asian mates, for example. They can openly complain about this kind of thing in nakedly racialist language and draw nary a peep of criticism from the broader culture. What's going on here is no different than the endless gay propaganda in media. And the people who have conquered us have done such a thorough job that we won't even complain about the conquest.
