Overnight Open Thread [02/09/2026]

Snowburbs26.jpg

The burbs are great after a big snow. Especially when the temperature doesn't skyrocket afterward and the snow sticks around for a few weeks. My little town does a good job of clearing the roads, so driving is effortless, and the pleasure of a white wonderland is clear to see without having to slog through a big mess.

NYC is a different animal entirely, and they are welcome to their garbage-strewn streets and slush mountains. I'll take the pristine (for now) suburbs any day over 3:00AM Thai takeout and marijuana delivery.

It's just a drone writ large, and that makes it both reassuring and terrifying. But you can't get one until 2028...they are either backlogged, or it's all smoke and mirrors.

McCarthy told you.jpg

******

A fish is swimming out in a lake, when he sees a fly flitting around, 3 feet above the water. The fish thinks to himself, "If that fly comes down about 5 inches, I can eat it!", so he sits and waits.

A bear sees the fish watching the fly and thinks to himself, "When that fly comes down a few inches, that fish is going to jump up and try to eat it. When that happens, I'm going to swipe that fish onto land and eat it."

A hunter eating a sandwich sees the bear watching the fish watching the fly, and thinks to himself, "When that fly lowers, the fish is going to jump up to get it, and that bear is going to try and eat that fish. When that happens, I'm going to shoot the bear and stuff him for my den," so he puts down his sandwich, and readies his gun.

A mouse is sitting there watching the hunter, watching the bear, watching the fish, watching the fly, and thinks to himself, "When that fish goes for the fly and the bear goes for the fish, and the hunter tries too shoot the bear, I'm going to go and eat his sandwich." so he sits and waits, keeping a watchful eye on the hunter and his sandwich.

A cat in the bushes sees the mouse watching the hunter watching the bear watching the fish watching the fly, and thinks "When that fly lowers 5 inches, the fish is going to try and eat it, then the bear is going to eat the fish, then that hunter is going to shoot the bear, then that mouse is going to try and eat the sandwich. When that happens, I'm going to eat that mouse." so he sits and waits. watching the mouse intently.

After a few tense minutes, the fly finally lowers itself.

The fish jumps out of the water, and catches the fly in it's mouth a split second before the bear swipes the fish onto land and begins to devour it, shortly before being shot in the face by the hunter, while the mouse lunges for the sandwich. The cat sees the action springing right in front of him, so he books it out of the bushes making a bee line for the mouse, but misses it completely, and falls face first into the lake.

Moral of the story; when a fly comes down 5 inches, a pussy gets wet.

Researchers 'surprised' by the brain benefits of cannabis usage in adults over 40

Pass the pot to Grandma — her brain might thank you.

A new study is challenging long-held assumptions about cannabis, finding that middle-aged and older adults who use the drug may actually see some brain and cognitive benefits.

The twist comes as cannabis use is climbing among older Americans. Research shows that nearly 1 in 5 people ages 50 to 64 reported using marijuana in the past year, along with 5.9% of those 65 and older.


Biochemical research is mostly bullshit: filled with weasel words and ass-covering nonsense. If marijuana was that wonderful, we would have figured it out long ago.

You Know Who hardest hit!

The weather this year said, "Sorry! All the snow is going East, mate!" I grieve but will get over it. Will now settle for snow in the mountains and rain here. Life is grand otherwise.

I have not been happy about the lack of snow. Those of you who have it have probably not been happy at times, either.

Pull up a chair and grab the popcorn. NYC is about to have a bit of a warm spell. It's the first one since the garbage collection problems. And, I'm telling you right now, the rats are excited. If you've never spent a lot of time in NYC, then you might now be aware of how big the rat population is. You get a taste of it everytime the subway tunnels flood. But, nothing's more appetizing to a population of rats than rising temperatures and free food in the winter time.

Enjoy the show.

57 Well, we did our good deed of the day today. We are paying for a young lady (junior high) who we have known since before she was born to go to a STEM camp this summer. She was nominated by one of her teachers, and it is a leadership program. She will be able to stay on campus at a local college for a week.

She is a great kid. Her mom has been Rebecca's massage therapist for about 15 years now; her husband - this young lady's father - died very unexpectedly 10 years ago, so they live on one income.

They didn't know how they would be able to afford to pay for her to attend this program. Since we are in a position to help out these ladies who are very much like family to us, we told them that if they weren't able to secure a scholarship we would pick up the cost so that this young lady could attend this program.

What a joy to be able to do this for such a wonderful young lady! She is very excited, and we are excited for her. And we are so grateful that we are able to help make this possible for her ♥️♥️♥️

It does. It seems like there a mild movement to pretend that Epstein wasn't about sex with the under-aged (because he was all about the money...? How would that be any different?).

68 I enjoyed the TP "halftime" show, with two caveats:
1) Fire the guy on the sound board. The vocals were muddy, and more often than not, the backup vocals/ instruments were on top.
2)They lied about the timing. They promised that it would be synced with the game, but when I switched back to the game, it was already at 14:03.
It was pretty much amateur hour. Each act was internally good, except for the aforementioned sound issues, but the timing leading from one performance to the next wasn't on. It was obvious that they didn't rehearse getting on and off.

Ecoflow has a smart circuit box along with enough scalable battery capacity to run a substantial house up to about a week if you wish. Costco has some of their products or you can order them online or even Ebay as Ecoflow has a refurbished storefront on Ebay.

They also have the smaller and more portable types. And portable solar cells.

Jackery does okay with the smaller batteries as does Bluetti and both also sell portable solar cells for recharging.

A simple gas/propane generator can also ease issues with the battery generators. If you do have electronics or electronics heavy appliances, the line sags and surges from normal gas/propane/nat gas generators (not inverter types) can damage those. Using the generator to charge one of the battery generators avoids that problem if you run items off of that.

E.g. our pellet stove requires about 300 watts to ignite and about 100 watts per hour for fan and feeding pellets. But since computerized control, requires pure sine wave electricity to keep it running. Battery generators generate sine wave supply that it needs.

Good luck with your search. For the tax credit though get even a few solar cells with your battery system.

Ecoflow's smart circuit box, they claim you can basically run line power to it and it will charge the batteries (top them off) and instantly switch to battery power when you get line outages or even sags. Basically like a large scale uninterruptible power source.

Key factor is how long they last and some report having install problems with the smart circuit board. I like Ecoflow because it is scalable and you can add batteries as your budget allows.

I still have mostly dumb appliances or ones that I don't need in an outage but as those wear out, I am looking at the Ecoflow system for that reason.

Most of the new house wide battery systems allow charging by solar cells, generators, or line power to keep topped up.

I have a small Ryobi battery generator that uses their 40v yard batteries which are hot swappable and you can link one to another Ryobi unit as well. for the Pellet stove. Have a log burning Buck stove at the other fireplace.

The only way I can see such flying machines be approved for general use is to have all under central robotic control, and you hire them like a taxi or an Uber. The passenger has zero input into the flight controls. If contact with master control is lost, the onboard system must go into "safe descent" mode, and make a rapid but hopefully safe descent from cruise altitude to the nearest patch of open ground. And then shut down.

177 The only way I can see such flying machines be approved for general use is to have all under central robotic control, and you hire them like a taxi or an Uber. The passenger has zero input into the flight controls. If contact with master control is lost, the onboard system must go into "safe descent" mode, and make a rapid but hopefully safe descent from cruise altitude to the nearest patch of open ground. And then shut down.

I never smoked pot but always had friends and family who did. I knew a number of researchers who said that smoking pot made them more creative. Apparently, pot does kill brain cells (and the comments about psychosis and violence are legit) but also increases the connectivity of the surviving brain cells, which explains both a) increased creativity at first and b) the burnouts you remember who forgot just about everything.

Here in SW Wyoming we've had no snow and very
unseasonable weather. We've been able to grill a lot this winter.

The wildlife usually moves from the mountains to town starting in October.

Something is going to happen soon because the last two days the wildlife has moved into town.

Hopefully this a good sign, we need lots of snow to fill our reservoirs.

As long as the rotor remains attached to the aircraft, and continues to be free to rotate, you have lift. Forward motion through the air causes the rotor to spin, and the flight controls can be used. Look up the bensen Gyrocopter, which had an unpowered rotor, and an engine driving a pusher propellor, giving it forward motion.

248 CIA Barbie and her merry band of marxists in Virginia SSR have made me a criminal. Because of the cartridges for my .9mm FPC. They are over 10 round cartridges. The 17 and 23 round cartridges that came with the gun are now contreband. I'm trying to figure out how this will drop the crime rate, which will now rise because CIA Barbie and her merry band of marxists are releasing rapists, murderers, and pedos. It's like they really are Bolsheviks.

250 The big problem with helicopter failures is altitude; they fly too.low.
Yes, with forward momentum, the rotor will "autorotate" and the helicopter will act like a plane with no.engine - it will."glide" and maybe you can find a golf course or something.
BUT... when the engine fail, the rotor stops. Now, you're a brick. If you can "get it into neutral " it will autorotate, eventually. If you're too close to the ground, the rotor never gets to enough rpm to actually have some lift.
Getting the machine into autorotation mode is part of helicopter pilot training, but if your under 500 ft with with 80 mph forward speed... Lower forward speed at the time of engine failure raises the necessary altitude.
