Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - February 25, 2026 [TRex]
Good evening Horde. The time has come for very random mid-week shenanigans of the post-cafe overnight variety.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted. Pants are optional. Giraffes are excused. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. [Top photo: Texas State Capitol Dome, Austin, Texas]
There's a lot going on here:
— NO CONTEXT HUMANS (@HumansNoContext) December 23, 2025
- The trip only makes stops at National Natural Landmarks, National Historic Sites, National Parks, or National Monuments.
- The trip must be taken by car and never leave the U.S. The author and his wife compiled a list of 50 major U.S. landmarks - one in each state excluding Alaska/Hawaii and including D.C., and two in California. The used a computer optimization tool to map it all out.
Written correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Are you lurking ?? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

First, Trump took down Maduro in Venezuela.
Then he ordered a blockade on Cuba.
Then he canceled China's control of Panama Canal.
Then he hit the biggest drug poster in Mexico.
Trump's rolling up the entire network in our hemisphere.

Read that the Panamanian govt voted out the sale control of the canal to Blackrock and Maersk will take the agreement,

I won't do that, but I highly encourage you to drink cherry juice, lay off red meat, seafood and gluten, and focus on chicken/fish, fruits, veggies and rice. That is the only way I got through my gout attack, and have prevented recurrent attacks without meds (I can't take them due to kidney issues.) Ice packs underneath the foot also help. God bless and may this run its course quickly.

My parents took me on a very similar route that took one month in the 60’s one Summer in a 1956 Chevy sedan - you know the two tone robin blue and white model with colors separated by a chrome stripe. Still have the pictures and most of memories (getting older has a few disadvantages but still preferred to alternative).

See a Doc and ask for Allopurinol. It's to reduce the uric acid that causes gout. As others have said, lay off the fatty meats and eat cherries or buy "cherry extract." It's a herbal supplement. Also lay off the booze. If possible.

I know the feeling (gout, not head bashing). I manage to control mine by avoiding food and drink that are known to trigger flareups. Do some online research, maybe that can help you. On the rare occasions I do get a flareup, prednisone helps greatly.

Posted by: Pastafarian
========
What OS combo are you using? If Windows, then Brave works, the former Opera makers after selling the Opera browser to a Chinese company, now make Vivaldi which might work as well.
ios and Mac OS all use Safari code under whatever browser name due to Apple security requirements. Android and Brave work fine on a phone and brave has decent privacy and security options.
What some people though are facing is that most browsers are no longer being updated for Windows versions prior to 10. And fewer still for 32 bit versions of old Windows programs.
Supermium which is a derivative of Chrome is one of the few that works and I keep a version on really old Windows machines that occasionally require an internet hookup (and yes, I know about security issues doing so).

54 Space Patrol had Muroc Lake test pilots on their advertising, allowing that they needed to be in good condition to fly the XF-88A, (top speed is a millitary secret, gang) and by golly, Wheat Chex and Rice Chex for breakfast are a great way to do that. You can stay in good condition too, kids, by doing the same. Be sure Mom picks up the Jumbo family size.
I guess the FCC cracked down on that. So we don’t get test pilots hawking their favorite breakfast cereals any longer. Fuckers.

Two other suggestions : (1) Stay hydrated, drink lots of water, (2) Keep your feet warm at night, maybe an extra blanket on the foot of the bed. Uric acid tends to come out of solution and deposit in joints, causing gout, at lower temperatures. Keeping your feet warm can help prevent this.

— 13 More Cartel Operatives Arrested in Jalisco Today
Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at February 25, 2026 11:08 PM (j9zxt)
Tomorrow, MiladyJo is having surgery to fix a problem she's suffered from for a long time. Respiratory Epithelial Adenomatoid Hamartomak (REAH). Blocked up nose. Relatively rare. Took a while to find an ENT in whose diagnosis and surgical recommendation we have confidence. It's an outpatient procedure, and she should be mostly recovered in a week, maybe two. Should improve her life greatly.
Good news is, we didn't get scheduled for barely-light a.m. like past surgeries, but for a leisurely 11:30 check-in. Actual surgery at 1pm, after the doc has had his relaxing lunch, preferably without the three martinis.
Prayers welcomed for the surgeon, the patient, and her hapless emotional support husband.

Tammy al-Thor, does your Mom suffer from dementia? The MIL had the same problem, so DH reversed the doorknobs on the front door and locked it from the inside so she couldn't throw open the latch to open it and go walking aimlessly about the neighborhood. Which was probably illegal or against the fire code or something, but it solved the problem... temporarily.

If growing in pots, use fresh potting soil and water thoroughly ~every other day, whenever soil is dry at an inch deep.
Tomatoes don't like their roots to get hot! Use a large container-- minimum 20 inch diameter x 2 ft deep, and shade the container with other potted stuff, or place it inside another, with a couple inches gap for heat to escape.

I got gout frequently, and kidney stones, it was treated with Indomethacin, now I have been told that the bone strengthener that I have been on for close to 30 years causes both of these things to occur. Now I am on a different bone strengthener and they told me if I have another gout attack to call them for some Prednisone.
I am still kinda happy after the SOTU last night. I appreciate DJT every day, the European and Latin American conservatives are being taught by a master, the whole world really, they are all infested with the the same parasitic governments.

Blondie, if you try tomatoes in the ground: mix in a lot of compost (or even used potting soil) to fluff the soil. Water regularly and deeply-- slow drip over longer time-- to soak down to deep roots.
If growing in pots, use fresh potting soil and water thoroughly ~every other day, whenever soil is dry at an inch deep.

Thank you thank you!! I just know you'd come out to my garden and cast your eye over the whole chaotic mess and tidy it all up. Make my pumpkins grow and such.
Yes, "real" produce is home-grown. I was amazed the first time someone came to a picnic with a huge basket of real cherries. I had a chergy all afternoon.

You know, you could put a tomato plant or two out there where the pumpkin vines would cover the soil around their roots. Just be sure to step carefully when harvesting.

Well I was never a big drinker, so I limit myself to one decently large shot glass at night if I do one at all, and I just sip it. Last night was special. I had 2, then looked in the bottle, looked like maybe 2 were left, and started drinking from the bottle, so I'm not sure how much was actually left, lol. I don't get hangovers. I actually slept good and woke up fine. I don't drink much, but I *can* drink.

There IS no right/wrong in gardening-- it's "whatever works" in your yard.
Any given neighborhood has a dozen or more *micro-climates* ya know?
Something that grows gangbusters in your front yard, may fail miserably in the back yard. Sun/shade, wet/dry soil are the biggies.

Fill it with water, and it will grab heat all day and radiate it back all night.

Bers, I am seeking maximum insect prevention, I pay a local guy a couple hundred a year to keep the place bug free. He is a good guy and grateful for the business. I really prefer to deal in cash at local venues for food, gas, and booze. My favorite local sub shop gives me a discount for paying in cash. They have got a great grilled steak tip sub. It is the last place I stop before a major snowstorm is forecast.

The F-104 Starfighter was proof of that concept. The first plane that could literally stand on its tail and accelerate.
They were also a maintenance nightmare, with a terrible crash record. The US Air Force got rid of them quickly because of all the problems. The Germans kept theirs; evidently Teutonic anal retentiveness was required to keep them in the air.
I had a fighter pilot in some of my classes in the mid 60s who the AF was paying for his BSEE. In a BS session he said, in answer to a question, that he wanted the F-106 in shitty weather or at night, but if it was clear, he'd take the 104.

Feels like I'm the asshoe... a couple more calls came in while I was out of the house today. (Landline, which is not 'unlisted') From AZ area code, same number each time. Probably BIL, who tends to call multiple times in a row-- check! according to caller ID-- and now I really don't want to answer.
Why? Because every time he *shows up* it's because money is needed for this or that. Hubby paid for his mom's and then his dad's cremation, after BIL had stayed with each of them until 'the end' and then called because he needed "help."
Then he showed up last Spring, with a broken POS trailer and needed "help"-- which I provided. But he wanted to see hubby & try to talk him into 'telling me' to let him stay here. Thank goodness hubby had enough wits left to leave it up to me: NO!
Now, these phone calls. No, the only thing it could be is pleas for more money....

So, I know that BIL has: ditched his POS 5th wheel trailer in S. Idaho in mid-December. Ditched his truck and phone somewhere in Cali in mid-January. Was picked up hitchhiking and taken to hospital in Cali late-January. Released from hospital in Cali.
Truck (according to State Police) has been impounded. Trailer no doubt has also been impounded by now. Then... nothing until last Saturday. 2 calls from AZ (BIL's home area) on Saturday. 2 calls today, also from AZ but different # than Saturday.
I. Don't. Want. To. Be. His. nurse, cook, maid, landlord, cna, *anything*

BIL isn't playing with a full deck, imo. I cannot, will not, become responsible for him.
I suspect that he's been re-hospitalized ("Phoenix Patient" said called ID on Saturday, and some other name on both of today's calls) and they're looking for a place for him to stay or somebody to take over his care.
No.

Not sure I'm a black sheep, but I'm definitely the most unconventional. I'm pretty sure most of my cousins have done better than me money wise, most have pensions, some are very comfortable. The one thing I can say though, none of them are worth a shit when it comes to mechanical things, or doing anything construction, or home improvement wise. I do have one filthy rich cousin who is worth some millions, and he told me that if he goes to start a lawn mower and it don't start and has gas in it it goes out to the curb. He would be baffled. Then again with his money does it even matter. Both me and my brother are the only ones that could build an entire house start to finish including the electrical and plumbing, and none of them know what end of a hammer to hold. I'm the unconventional one though, the crazy metal guitar player. I did have more fun than any of them though, thats for damn sure.
