Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - November 25, 2025 [Doof]
It's almost Thanksgiving. Get yourself home any way you can!
You Don't See This Every Day Motorist in North Carolina tells 911: ‘I just had a bald eagle drop a cat through my windshield’
A motorist in western North Carolina escaped injury when the carcass of a cat crashed into the passenger side of her front windshield along a highway near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In a call to 911, the unidentified driver on U.S. Route 74 in Swain County, near Bryson City, told a dispatcher that a bald eagle dropped the cat. Bryson City is about 65 miles (104 kilometers) southwest of Asheville. It’s not clear if the feline slipped from the eagle’s talons Wednesday morning or was discarded simply because the big bird didn’t have a taste for it. “You may not believe me, but I just had a bald eagle drop a cat through my windshield,” the incredulous driver said on the recorded 911 call. “It absolutely shattered my windshield.”Check out the whole thing. I wonder if this falls into the "we've seen a thing or two" bucket that one insurance company always mentions.

The vanvera was a strange accessory worn primarily by female aristocrats that allowed them to discreetly pass gas during social events. The origins and history of the vanvera are shrouded in mystery; some sources claim it can be traced back to ancient Egypt, while others that it was inspired by Roman creativity, but there is no real evidence that this gas-muffling invention has its roots in ancient history. What everyone seems to agree on is that the vanvera was used by the aristocracy of that era, primarily women who could easily conceal it under their large, elaborate dresses. The vanvera on display at the Sex Machines Museum in Prague consists of a leather pouch that connects to the wearer’s behind, muffling farts and containing the foul-smelling gases during social events. It can then be emptied in private by squeezing the pouch.Guys would totally use this differently. "Dude, you shoulda smelled this one I ripped last night. Oh wait, I got it here in my vanvera - check it out!" {pooooofffff}

Sounds awesome! Elder son of mine and I did something similar a few years ago. First Thanksgiving without the lovely late Mrs. Doof. Younger son was overseas doing his gap year thing. The 2 of us traveled to Lexington for several days. Did some stops on the Bourbon Trail. Went to the UK vs Louisville game. We made Thanksgiving dinner before we left MD and heated it up in the hotel. Watched hockey and college football and basketball, played cards, and drank bourbon. Was a fantastic time!

I usually mow the perimeter first, and spiral in towards the center. Break the yard up into random quadrangles, mow each one in turn, or mow the facing sides of two quadrangles, until the quadrangles become narrower than the gap between, and then do each one in turn.

Shoot? No, they just need a rabbit stick ... throw it and knock the rabbit out (or kill it outright). I've actually tried that briefly, and came close a few times. Just a solid ~1' x 2" solid stick ... thrown hard at a rabbit, it would stop them. Or maybe that is some Indian trick, idk where I learned it. Maybe in my brief "Tracker School".

In the early 90s. I was driving to work late night, stopping at an intersection, and this chick suddenly comes up and asks for a ride home. My back seat was full of camping gear from the weekend that I hadn't cleared out. She asked what that stuff was in a quiet, "are you an axe murderer voice". Oh, that's just camping stuff, so where am I taking you, I got 10min to get to work. She told me and I dropped her off at a house then sped to work.
I think about her occasionally. I hope she makes better decisions.

There's actually a hot dog place in Chicago that's well know, called The Wieners Circle. Their 'specialty' is that their servers are really rude and insulting. Strange thing to be proud of. But at least the hot dogs are really good.
Anyway, I was reading about them last week. They obviously *hate* Trump and are always putting nasty jokes about him on their outside sign, but aren't above making money off him. They have a specialty, Trump Footlong Hot Dogs. (They're each three inches long.)

I had one of those in an 1985 810. It could be defeated by an ON/OFF switch in the console. When Car & Driver did a review of the car, they had a photo of the switch witha caption, 'There's a nagging lady that lives under thhis switch'. I wa so interested in the mechanism that I bought one off of Ebay. Still have it. Obviously, the tone arm indexes across to the proper message.

A few years ago, we were in NYC to have lunch with a friend of my wife's at the Ritz Carlton in the Flatiron District. Afterwards, my son and I stepped out to check out the neighborhood while my wife stayed behind to catch up. Going down 5th Avenue, we passed the Museum of Sex on our way to the Museum of Mathematics just around the corner on the same block.

But in ‘84 it built to a second peak with Jon Lovitz, Phil Hartman, Victoria Principal, Dana Carvey and others - a few more wonderful seasons til it faded again.
And the final high was the David Spade - Chris Farley - Norm McDonald era. After that, which was in the 90’s, it was never worth watching again.

If you have someone for whom it it is difficult to shop -- and they like coffee, I'd like to suggest getting them an order from Porto Rico Importing (note the spelling). If they grind their own beans, even better. They have the freshest beans around. The place moves coffee beans. The store has been in business since 1907, for whatever that's worth.
I'd go for pound sampler packs: A blend, a country and a flavor. The flavor's easy, hazelnut; it tastes great both hot and cold. For the blend I'd go with Peter's Blend. A darker roast, full-bodied yet not bitter; a good cup of coffee. I've tried some of their other blends but this one's the best. For the country, go with the Costa Rican. A medium roast, full-bodied coffee with an interesting flavor profile. (I didn't like the flavor profiles of the African coffee beans I've tried and I've only had Hawaiian Kona from the 'Asia and the Pacific' section.) You could add their New Orleans blend, as they have a good recipe using chicory; when you drink a cup, you're transported to Cafe du Monde in The Quarter. A Columbian bean is always a solid choice.
1/2
Posted by: RickZ at November 25, 2025 10:49 PM (gKDq2)
Or, if you really, really love that person, you can give them Hawaiian Kona @ $74/lb. (absolutely delicious, a nutty coffee with a chocolate undertone) or Jamaican Blue Mountain @ $106/lb (never had it but from all reports it's supposed to be The Nectar of the Gods coffee-wise).
They will grind beans to your request, course, fine, etc., though I never do that as I get whole beans.
Free shipping anytime on orders over $75.

I remember the sequential blinker lights on the mid-'60s Thunderbirds. Though I'd forgotten that the Cougar, Mercury's answer to the T-Bird, had them too. Didn't some other car companies offer them a little later?
Earlier this year we saw a Cougar, well-restored, outside a coffee shop/bakery in a suburban town near us. I knew what it was immediately, though I hadn't seen one since the late '90s in Denver. Black, with a red interior, it was amazing in its proportions and styling. The hood and trunk each seemed twice as long as a mid-size car today, and the vehicle was low to the ground -- though it hadn't been lowered as far as I know.
The owner said it was the first year, the 1967. Not the XR-7 model, the "sporty" one with the toggle switches on the dash like the Jaguar E-Type of those days.

Murray wasn't part of the "original" cast-- he was a writer season one and came on in season two after Chevy Chase left to make movies. (Foul Play, not exactly a comedy classic.) They got into a fight when Chase returned as a guess host.
But I concede that Murray is considered part of original glory days.

Could you take a lawn chair and a bag of dog treats to the dog's yard, and just sit there calmly and offer some treats. Let the dog get used to your presence. It must be missing its humans now, and may become ready to accept a new one.

I'm a recently converted (6 years) pet person after a lifetime of happily living without them. Even before that happened, the reasoning about why someone would simply abandon their pet dog - much less a Pyrenees - escapes me completely.

Hubby used to get upset-- offended, even-- when I rearranged items in the dishwasher before starting it.
I tried to explain: "honey, you loaded it *just fine* but now there are *more* dishes and I'm trying to make everything fit so I don't need to hand-wash (as much)"
Mowing? I'd rather hubby did it. I do it the same way he did it-- except for running over the hose or getting hung up on that one big tree root, LOL.

Tomorrow is corn muffins, stuffing sausage/vegs/herbs, and start the stockpot before bed (in the crockpot overnight).

My grandfather hunted rabbits by that method (ball peen hammer) when he was a youth during the Depression.
He said he got one out of about every three throws. He said a hit only stunned the rabbits, so you had to run up and throttle them before they re-gathered their wits.
I have eaten rabbit stew and squirrel pot pie at his house when I was a youth. However, he could afford .22lr ammo by that time!

Inside were three boards with small reed switches corresponding to various outside lights. Each reed switch corresponded to a set of lights - headlights, taillights, etc. Wrapped around each reed switch were the wires corresponding to the left and right bulbs of each set of lights. As long as both bulbs were lit, the magnetic field from each wire cancelled out and the switch stayed in the neutral 'off' position. If a bulb was out, no current would flow in the corresponding wire, and the magnetic field from the other wire pulled the switch to a closed position and illuminated a 'bulb out' lamp on the dash.

3.141592653589793.

Well, Mrs B's niece, her sister's daughter, "might" actually be there and is pretty good in the kitchen, so I may have an out. If the draugrs don't show up at my brother's it will just be him, his wife, and my father, so I do want to go there. There have been times where Mrs B went one way and I went another in rare circumstances. Her sister's hand surgery 2 days before thanksgiving (great planning there), might be one of those occasions.

He lives about 1/4 mile away. I invited him for holiday meals-- Thanksgiving and Christmas-- every year for the last decade. He worked graveyard shift; hubby & I worked days... so the compromise was that "dinner" would be at 10pm to accommodate his schedule. (we usually had the next day off, so it wasn't a problem to stay up late)
Last couple of holidays, he accepted the invitations but NO SHOW. Didn't even call to cancel! I called him: ugh, still asleep... call back in an hour? Ok. An hour later: ugh, too tired...
Fk it. If he can't be arsed to drive 2 minutes, forget it. I'm DONE cooking a whole holiday meal for 3 people. Now, it's just me. Pfft. Cheeseburger!!!!!

Plus the added joy of inviting a "gluten-intolerant" drama queen, so I have to make special stuffing with that weird gluten-free bread.
Lots on the menu, because we have 11 coming. Big-ass turkey, which I shall cook unstuffed because I don't want to have to cook it forever.
Stuffing, potatoes, gravy (I found all three gravy pitchers, thank heaven), spinach salad with bacon and honey mustard dressing, fruit salad, rolls, cranberry sauce (made that two days ago), pecan pie, pumpkin pie, apple pie, ice cream and whipped cream.
Before that, there's the pre-dinner spread for football: cheese ball, various cheeses, sliced meats, crackers of all kinds, fritos and onion dip, plus crudites, grapes, berries, apple-bacon jam I made yesterday, several different jellies I made this past fall (raspberry, grapefruit, orange, dreamcicle), ranch dip, whatever I come across in the fridge that looks good to serve.

There was a choice of a 2 rack dishwasher, with 56 people on a waiting list, or the 3 rack with only a few people on the list, so 3 rack it was. I wasn't sure the 3 rack was going to work, I figured to fit in 3 racks it might cramp the other 2. Well the interior was taller, which became glaring once I went to install it had almost no room under it to work. In the end it worked like a charm, the middle rack is adjustable for height, so no cramping the other racks, and Mrs b packs the shit out of that thing, and everything comes out spotless.

I did get the 16 digit one correct.
Young Dick Feynman, working at Los Alamos, showed how using such for password equivalents is not too smart. He cracked a bunch of safe combinations one time by reasoning, hey what would ol' Niels Bohr there think is some string of digits so arcane and obscure that he would think only he would be clever enough to think of?
It took him only a few tries to huess the combinations.

Current passwords, especially when you have to use a symbol in them, makes them easier to brute force than not. They are also hard to remember for the user, so it forces them to write them down someplace accessible, which defeats the entire purpose of passwords.
A much better solution is to remember a phrase or sentence and use that as the password. Much harder to crack, unless someone knows you very well.

Had to have a dead tree removed this spring. There was a galvanized pipe (fence post? about 2.5inch dia.) stuck in the ground right next to the trunk, and tree had grown into it somewhat. No way to just soak the ground & yank the pipe out.
Sawzall to the rescue! Cut smooth as silk, right through that pipe in about 5 seconds, as low as I could get it.
Tagged the stub with fluorescent pink spray paint & pointed it out to the tree crew, so nobody would get hurt.

One of my uncles had a heart attack in his mid fifties. He's lying in bed recovering and his doctor comes in. Uncle asks "Should I stop smoking?" Doc's answer was "You'll probably die of another heart attack before the smoking catches up to you."
Your body is used to the smoking. That may be keeping other conditions at bay. That is part of the problem with modern medicine. People thinking they know more about how the body works and not knowing they are full of shit.
