Saturday Night "Club ONT" November 22, 2025 [The 3 Ds]
Time to GET DOWN, jive turkeys!
With so many types of gravy available, each offering a unique taste and texture, there's a gravy to suit every palate and dish. Whether you prefer the rich taste of beef gravy or the creamy goodness of country gravy, understanding the different types can help you choose the perfect sauce for your meal. This blog will explore 30 types of gravy, highlighting their key ingredients and best uses.
Drink of the Night Just in time for Thanksgiving - The Tukeytini!
Ingredients----- More Thanksgiving cocktail suggestions 57 Festive Thanksgiving Cocktails That Will Liven Up The Adults' Table
1/4 cup chocolate syrup
1 1/2 oz. Baileys
1 1/2 oz. bourbon
1 oz. chocolate liqueur
1/2 oz. Kahlúa
1/2 oz. milk
Ice
Grated fresh nutmeg, for garnish
1 Oreo turkey (optional) Directions
Step 1
Drizzle chocolate syrup, forming a swirling design, inside a martini or coupe glass. Freeze until ready to use. Step 2
In a cocktail shaker, combine Baileys, bourbon, chocolate liqueur, Kahlúa, and milk. Fill shaker with ice, cover, and vigorously shake until outside of shaker is very frosty, about 20 seconds. Step 3
Strain cocktail into prepared glass. Grate nutmeg over cocktail and garnish with an Oreo turkey (if using).
2 cans or bottled cream soda (bottled is my fave)----- Bonus non-alcoholic drink, because Holidays! How about a Beef Fizz?
2 tablespoons butterscotch syrup, more for drizzle
2 teaspoons butter extract
1 cup whipped cream Instructions Pour chilled butter beer into large mugs or glasses. Make sure the cream soda is nice and chilled before making the butter beer!
Add 1 tablespoon of butterscotch syrup into each glass.
Add 1 teaspoon of butter extract into each glass. Feel free to use more if you like a lot of butter flavor!
Whisk together the ingredients in the glasses until fully mixed.
Top with whipped cream, and drizzle more butterscotch on top if desired!
Food trends come and go. (Remember butter boards? Neither do we.) But few things have captured the public’s interest quite as fervently as bone broth. Heralded by influencers and celebrities alike for its nutritional value and added health benefits, bone broth is one fad that’s had surprising staying power. But before the girlies were downing it in droves for a bit of extra collagen in the morning, there was a different broth-based sipper on the scene: Beef Fizz. The drink, which first appeared in print sometime in the 1950s or ‘60s, calls for the mouthwatering combination of condensed beef broth, ginger ale, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. But the fun doesn’t stop there: Rather than being served hot (or at least at room temperature), the Beef Fizz is intended to be enjoyed over ice, ideally in a highball glass.There HAS to be someone among you who has tried this. Come on - fess up! [Disco says: I saw Beef Fizz open for Chickenfoot at the KCF Yum! Center in 2021]

It's unclear if the man’s infection started in his lungs or on his penis. It's possible he could have inhaled it first; the bacteria were clearly in his lungs. But he could have also picked up the bacteria on his hands while working and then spread it further while, for example, using the bathroom.
While it will remain a mystery how the man developed such a rare infection, there's a happy ending for this case and others: 'Encouragingly, all published cases of penile TB responded well to anti-TB therapy with full recovery,' the doctors conclude.Whew. For the ettes: Masturbation improves menopause symptoms for nearly 1 in 5 women, study shows
Additionally, 57% of perimenopausal women reported they would masturbate more for symptom management if their doctor recommended it, compared with 40% of postmenopausal women.Hmmm.... Didn't realize a doctor's prescription was required...

Also, a submarine is never a ship despite the massive size of some of them. Always a boat. Makes sense because submarines don't carry boats.

Back when I was a yute, one of the members of our neighborhood gang was a girl who lived across the street from me. Her family moved away and my family moved away and we lost touch. A couple of decades go by and she becomes Mrs. Wrecks' boss and they became good friends. She had a daughter who was diagnosed schizophrenic. Things have been difficult.
Last night, she became upset and told her mom that 15 years ago, she gave a coat my daughter and, by God, she wants it back! We have no such recollection but they did give a coat to Mrs. Wrecks' mother. Mrs. Wrecks is under the weather today but they have called repeatedly. Finally, Mrs. Wrecks broke down and went over to her mother's to get and return the coat. Now everybody is all pissed off except for me who has fallen back on my famous apathy.
My only explanation is they're members of the Lateasf*ckindiangivers tribe.

Being able to wield such a a large sword easily was very intimidating on the medieval battlefield. Though pikes were probably a better overall weapon for formed infantry, some skilled soldiers with a two handed sword could definitely turn the tide of battle if properly deployed.

I'm beginning to think that the big dog abandoned down the street from us is a Great Pyrenees (not a white Golden Retriever). Reputation of breed: good with family, kids and other dogs, wary of strangers (explains why he runs from us). Can't say if this one barks at night.
I guess we shouldn't feed him too much at one time, so he won't get bloat. He won't eat until we drive away, so we may have to work up on him slowly.
Why would anyone just leave behind a big, pretty dog like that?

Note the very effective use of mines during the middle stages of the Ukraine War. Deep minefields made armored assaults on defensive positions almost suicidal. They were very rough on personnel too.
Mine use seems to have recently tapered off. I suspect the Ukrainians have run out of them and the Russians are on the offensive so they don't need them. Plus drones are effectively taking their place.

Great Pyrenees are nice dogs. They need a good fence, or they will roam to patrol their territory.

Some people are just awful. Great Pyrenees are nice dogs. They need a good fence, or they will roam to patrol their territory. Our neighbors have one. If he barks st night we don't notice. He does bark at the mail carrier's jeep, and any large vehicle going down the road.

Mom has had a Great Pyranese for nearly the last twentyfive years. Wonderful dogs, extremely protective of "their" pack. Current ghost dog is named 'Morris', and he is a real sweetheart. Protects the three cats like they were his babies, doesn't let Mom walk outside by herself unless he's glued to her knee. Recognizes my car even though he only sees it twice a year. He does bark at gnat farts, though. In his defense...there have been no breakins.

EoT also ended completely differently from the Japanese novel it was based on. Fewer of the lead characters survived in the novel. Since there were only two lead characters, that changes the story a bit.
So even if there is a follow-on novel, the follow-on movie will have to be a completely new story.

It was just a life hack, see? Russia life-hacked the election by purchasing a few hundred thousand dollars of Facebook ads, similar to life-hacking cheese by putting one of those folding sandwich bags on the open end to keep it fresh.
And then anyone who claimed that Russia hacked election computers was plainly on a separate level beneath those operatives, a brainwashed sucker chump that fell for their craft hook, line, and sinker. Really clarified things, since it showed that the Big Media talking heads were in on the op, and many elected officials (especially in the House) were not.

They have a curved shape, so one can point it the right way, even in the dark. It was something to be checked periodically when deployed. In Viet Nam it was found the enemy would turn them the other way. When I went to university on the GI Bill I was in a class where another professor approached me. He knew somehow I was a veteran, and clearly viewed me as a sort of different species.
He tentatively asked me if it was true Claymore mines are embossed with a “Front Towards Enemy” instruction on them. I explained, yes it’s true. And might be deployed by someone who hasn’t slept for 3 days and every bit helps in those situations, and there is also the tactile feature that helps when installing in the dark. He realized it was actually kind of a stupid question and he slunk off embarrassed.

Eh, I think it's mostly a meme, but 10 mil sockets are pretty small, and also very commonly used, on metric vehicles, anyway. So you have something small, and inherently lose-able, that's also commonly used, so it stands to reason they get lost more often than say a 5/8" socket.

10mm is used *a lot* in both foreign and domestic products. High potential for loss due, to frequent use.
Also, in the case of "shared" or "open access" tool kits: 'borrowed but not returned' or outright theft.

That's a good idea. You know what else would be a good idea? Have a vending machine in the store that sells drill bits, open stock. Maybe have them categorized by size and price. Say 1/16" could be two for 35 cents, and half-inch could be 95 cents each. Punch in you wants on a screen, machine calculates the total cost, adds any applicable tax, and you deposit cash or swipe a card, and it spits out a bundle of drills. It would be a great way to keep your drill index fully stocked.

Not all of it is junk, there are some good things, but you really..really need to know what you're looking at. But yeah, there is a good amount of worthless yang poon shit. The mechanic hand tools are actually pretty good IF you don't go lower than the pittsburg "pro" level of tools, or else you end up with made in india abominations. I bought a swivel head 1/4 drive ratchet that was a copy of a snap-on version I bought 30 years ago, because for certain things on harleys they are a godsend, and I wasn't bringing my snap-on one to the shop. My snap-on was $60 30 years ago, and well over $100 today. The HF one was $12, lifetime warranty, and I have been pounding on it for 5 years and its still like the day I got it. The Icon stuff is really good too.

Don't over-think it. I expect subs are called "boats" because the early ones were quite small, and naturally got called boats. By the time they got to be large, the term "boat" had become definitional.

Bidenflation & minimum wage boosts, too.
You can afford to have a skeleton crew run your grocery store at 3AM when you're paying college kids $5 an hour. Harder to make ends meet at $20/hour. And similar price increases to (literally) keep the lights on, etc.
Also, the domino effect. Late hours at the stores and restaurants were largely for people working late hours at other stores and restaurants. No need for a 3AM McDonald's when the groceries and Wal-Marts and Targets are all rolling up the sidewalks at 9-12PM, and your only customer base are overloaded college kids, first responders, and insomniacs.

Too short, too raw feeling. Same with the ratchets. But, the shit got the job done. Today you couldn't give me craftsman, its all chinese. I would rather use the HF pittsburg pro stuff for half the price. Personally, I would just get Icon if I didn't have snap-on. Its made really nice and not that expensive.

The few shops I work out of have really good tools. Snap-on, Matco, some MAC, etc. I don't need to bring anything, but there are a few things they don't have that I got used to using over the years, and thats where the HF stuff comes in. Snap on shit is really frigging good, no 2 ways about it, but years back there wasn't any real competition. Their ratchets just felt better than anything else, same with the wrenches. These days, not so much. A lot of companies make nice stuff for a fraction of the cost.

Yeah, I hated the recip saw too. Stoopid "safety" switch on the side, that hurt my hand to press while hitting the trigger. Ugh. And it wobbled too much! It got stolen and I don't miss it. Hope the thug didn't get much for it at the pawn shop.
Had no issue with the circular saw, except when battery got low... it needs fresh battery too often to be a job-site tool, but works okay for my little projects.

It didn't satisfy either of us, and since I already had had some close calls, I put an end to it. Works for me. To each his own.

That was pretty much my observation with them.
Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at November 23, 2025 01:28 AM (snZF9)
Their stuff is fine for home use. Haven't broken one yet.
Couple of batteries are getting old. If you shop you can get a tool
with a battery close to what they charge for a battery.
That could be your problem qdp.
Also a USB adapter. Plug in a battery and charge up your device.
Oh, a sawsall, very handy, 18v. Trim branches too.

Hmm. Okay, so I got the set. Really impressed with the blower-- plenty of whoosh power, and battery lasts & lasts on it.
Trimmer is okay. It's the damned reel of line that keeps jamming/not feeding. Ready to unwind & rewind the damned thing, spray the line with silicone or something? Otherwise, it chomps thru pasture grass like a champ. It'll do, once I get the feed issue tackled.

The one operation I recall that hit the US was a sub-launched plane that dropped incendiaries in what is now a state park in southwest Oregon. Did start a fire. There's a small monument to the event at the spot, and when said monument was dedicated in the 90s, the Japanese pilot - still alive - attended the ceremony! Pretty cool.
The more interesting concept, which resulted in Japan's largest subs, which I believe were still as yet not deployed by the surrender, was to carry two seaplanes on one boat - and attack the Panama Canal. With torpedoes - against lock gates. Pretty good idea.

Re the "science conditions" for that RENU-3 launch. RENU stands for "Rocket Experiment for Neutral Upwelling".
This is basically non-ionized gases get pumped up higher due to all the EM activity of the aurora/solar wind, and the interaction with earth's magnetic field. There is a "cusp" they call it, where particles get thrown out into space, and this flight is supposed to study that.
So, I'm guessing the "science conditions" are they're waiting for that to be good enough for the payload to get good data.

I say saws, plural, because he had several. With different types of blades, so he could switch in an instant between rough and fine work, plywood or laminate, whatever...

The Artemis II rocket has been fully stacked and integrated in the VAB down at KSC I was just reading. That got me interested in the VAB, the Vehicle Assembly Building, formally known as the Vertical Assembly Building in the Apollo days.
That is one huge building, and clouds can even form inside it.
I was looking at some pictures. They have these huge movable floor platforms that snug up to the rocket, and have to be custom built to conform exactly to the shape of the rocket. That gives the various access levels to different parts of the rockets. It's an amazing thing to behold.

ok, I'm back for this. I've got a trimmer too. Small one. I wind the line on the spool. Originally it fed a little line every time I pulled the trigger and thank goodness it broke or I'm winding the spool wrong.
Whatever, I like it like that. There's a tab on the side of the spool, when depressed, allows me to pull out line to the desired length.
It eats a lot less line that way.
It's used to trim the curb and little things. It does OK and is much handier than the 2 cycle. I'm pleased.

I have some corded Makita stuff I got in the 80's and its still rocking. I have 2 of the 3/8 drills that I was using for kitchen installs. I kept the drill in one, and a screw bit in the other, and used the shit out of both of them. One got a little more use than the other, so that one is out in the garage, and the other is on the tool shelf with the other contractor tools. They still work like the day I got them. I have corded milwaukee drills from back then but I only pull them out if I need serious power, but those makita tools were hard to beat. I still have the 10" miter saw with heavy ass cast iron base, but its not large enough for big crown moldings an floor moldings being used these days, so its retired. Not to mention is heavy as all hell.

Thanks for your note, Braenyard!
'Continuous feed' is a line-gobbler, but I don't care. I've been using-- TRYING to, anyway-- the pre-wound spool what came with the unit. Will strip & rewind it, hope that solves the problem.

My brother used corded Makita also, pre-2010, when batteries weren't so available or good.

It’s an interesting story from a geology perspective. They analyzed sand from the ballast recovered, and with some serious research and detective work, and some Seal teams (you want some sand from beaches? For what??) were able to deduce what area, and bombed the shit out of a likely nearby factory. No more balloon bombs.

yeah the cordless stuff came a looong way since the early days. We experimented with a few things when battery tools were first hitting the scene in the 80's. Makita had the drill and flashlight combo with the 2 batteries. A bit under powered, and the batteries took hours to charge, then you only got about 45 minutes of intermittent use out of them. There were a few other things equally worthless. There was one gem though, it was made by skill. It was a small super high torque screw gun and powered 3 inch screws like nobody's business, but again, forever to charge, and low use time. I still have it, but I don't even know where the charger is. It didn't have a removable battery. Battery stuff came a long way, I started converting over about 5 years ago.

313 I just got some medicine that says "take with food" on the label.
I prepared a small bowl of applesauce and, to make sure I wouldn't drop them, I put the pills on top of the applesauce.
I ate half the applesauce, then spooned up the pills and swallowed them.
Then it hit me. Oh my God, I've turned into a Golden Retriever.

I think they built 12 or 13 in total. You can see on the track to 39A they were going to branch off and build another pad for at least 3. 39B only used maybe once. It is a crime that they threw away all the engineering and expertise and institutional knowledge.
I figure at the very least there should easily be routine tourist flights to lunar orbit 20 years ago. Maybe not too cheap, but doable. Honeymoon type trips. Now they can’t even get into earth orbit, much less recreate ‘68. Fucking sad and pathetic . All those guys really put their ass on the line, too

Apollo 10 launched from 39B. It also launched the Saturn 1B missions for Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz. It then launched a bunch of Space Shuttle missions.
Currently, it is the pad that will be used for Artemis. SpaceX now has leased 39A for its operations.
